I think just for some people in the audience that don't attend these things often, they should know that this Conditional Use Permit does not necessarily override any of their -- Borup: Definitely not. Rohm: -- restrictive covenants. Borup: Right. Right. It definitely does not. The city does not get involved with CC&R's. Rohm: Okay. I just wanted to clarify that for you folks that may not attend. Zaremba: We have listed the requirement that would make it comply with the ordinances and the city does not enforce CC&R's. Rohm: Right. Right. I just thought that that was important to get that out. Borup: But I definitely feel a lot more comfortable that we are complying with the ordinances and not having to do exceptions there, too. Okay. We had a motion. Second. Discussion. Any further discussion? All in favor? Any opposed? MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES Item 7. Public Hearing: CUP 03-046 Request for a Conditional Use Permit for a branch bank facility with drive-thru lanes in an L-O zone for Idaho Central Credit Union by Idaho Central Credit Union -east of South Locust Grove Road and south of East Overland Road: Borup: Okay. Item Number 7, Public Hearing CUP 03-046 -- and thank you, everybody, that testified. Back to CUP 03-046, request for a Conditional Use Permit for a bank branch facility with drive-thru lanes in an L-O for Idaho Central Credit Union by Idaho Central Credit Union. I'd like to open this Public Hearing at this time and start with the staff report. Kirkpatrick: Chairman, Members of the Commission, this application is for a bank with four drive-thru lanes. The application is here as a Conditional Use Permit, because of the drive-thru. The property is located on Overland Road, just to the north of the new high school and just east of Locust Grove Road. It's in Resolution Business Park. Let's see, and I will go ahead and show you the site plan. Let's see, a couple things to note here. The applicant wants to later subdivide this property, so you may -- I noted in my staff report you may want to condition them to share an access easement on the southern driveway and the parking -- the parking aisle -- this is actually shown on the site plan. The parking aisle to the west will stub to the proposed new lot on the -- I guess it's the western side of the subdivision. If you -- you may want to go ahead -- the applicant may address this this evening, but they may want to go ahead and add that as Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting October 16, 2003 Page 30 of 114 a condition of approval, so you can make sure that those things happen when they do come back and subdivide this lot and staff is recommending approval of this application. Are there any questions of staff? Borup: Could you maybe clarify how that -- the wording on that. Kirkpatrick: Okay. Let me go to the page in the staff report where I wrote it. Let's see. If you go to Page 4, special considerations, that was where I noted that if they are planning to go ahead and subdivide this, they should make sure these things happen. You could have one condition that the parking aisle on the west side -- on the west side of the subject property must stub to the proposed new lot and, then, a second condition of approval would be a shared access easement on the south driveway must be established. Zaremba: Are you thinking the stub would be in the lower area down here right? Kirkpatrick: Correct. Zaremba: Okay. Borup: Then, why didn't you just make that a condition of approval to start with? Kirkpatrick: It's up to you. Borup: Okay. Kirkpatrick: And my recommendation would be that those were conditions. Borup: All right Zaremba: I have one question, if I may. This is in ACHD's report on their Page 8, special recommendation to the City of Meridian, Paragraph 3, ACHD's Park and Ride Division staff has indicated the need for a park and ride location at the application's site. The district requests that applicant grant the district an easement fora 10 to 12 space park and ride area at this site. Commuteride staff will contact the applicant to coordinate blah, blah, blah. My question is if they give up 12 spaces to a park and ride, will they still comply with our parking ordinances? Kirkpatrick: Actually, Idaho Central Credit Union or the developer owns -- owns this entire lot in Resolution Subdivision, so they currently have more than enough property -- Imean (suppose it would depend on what the second use would be that would go in on the property, but they currently have more than enough parking for the bank and I want the applicant to address that, the ACRD request, and how they would deal with that. Borup: Does that conclude? Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting October 16, 2003 Page 31 of 114 Kirkpatrick: That concludes staffs -- Borup: Okay. Would the applicant like to come forward? Christensen: My name is Steve Christensen with Lombard Conrad Architects. Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission, we have reviewed the special considerations and conditions of approval with the owner, Idaho Central Credit Union, for the subject project and the owner has agreed on the conditions of approval as so stated, including the stub out of the future access into the property to the west and also the shared access on that south drive. As far as the comment is concerned on the ACHD, it's our understanding that that ACHD Comment Number 3 is pertaining to the whole resolution business park, not just at the Idaho Central Credit Union property, so -- Borup: Have they contacted you? Have they contacted you? Christensen: ACHD? Borup: Yes. Christensen: They have just informed -- they have just forwarded their report to us. Borup: That was it? Christensen: Yes for him information, basically. Borup: Okay. That's not the way I read the letter, so they haven't done what they said would like to, then. Christensen: No, they have not contacted me personally. Borup: Any questions from the Commission? Centers: No. He agrees with everything. That's the kind of guy I like Borup: Yes Christensen: We agree with everything, with the exception of this ACHD comment, so - - Idon't think it -- I don't believe it's the intent that all these park and share ride parking spaces be located as part of Idaho Central Credit Union's property, so -- Borup: But if they haven't contacted -- my question would be is if they have contacted the developer of the whole project and discussed the location with him, but it doesn't sound like they have followed through on contacting very well. Christensen: They may have contacted the developer of Resolution Business Park Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission Mee[ing October 16, 2003 Page 32 of 114 Borup: Right. Christensen: But they have not necessarily contacted Idaho Central Credit Union. Borup: Yes. It seems like that's who they need to contact. Zaremba: I would think so. Borup: Okay. Thank you. Christensen: Great. Thank you. Borup: Do we have anyone here to testify on this application? Kirkpatrick: Chairman, Members of the Commission, regarding that ACHD requirement, we could condition this -- Borup: Well, it wasn't a requirement is how I read it, it was a recommendation. Kirkpatrick: It's a recommendation. We could require a clarification from ACHD prior to Council, either they grant them the -- I guess this would be an easement for the 10 to 12 spaces or they have to provide a letter clarifying this, but either way they have to provide it for the next hearing. Zaremba: Mr. Chairman, I move the Public Hearing be closed. Centers: Second. Borup: Motion and second to close the Public Hearing. All in favor? MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES Centers: I don't want to belabor the park and ride, but there is one at Eagle Road and Overland. There is one at -- behind Gold's Gym and those parking spaces are never full and -- so end of speech. Let's move on. Borup: Oh, that's right. I forgot about the one on Eagle. There is already one right there. Centers: Yes. Yes. Drive by it every day. Borup: So, they want one every half mile? Centers: Yes. Right. Where you can park your bicycle. Meridian Planning ono Zoning Commission Meeting October 16, 2003 Page 33 of '114 Borup: Okay. I think that's a good point. I don't know if every half mile was in -- is that their plan? Centers: If it is, it's a bad plan. I don't know mind saying that publicly. Borup: Okay. The meeting is -- or the hearing is closed. Do we have a motion? Centers: Yes. Mr. Chairman I will just move right on here. Item 7 on our agenda, I would like to recommend approval for CUP 03-046, it's a request for a Conditional Use Permit for a branch bank facility with drive-thru lanes in an L-O zone for Idaho Central Credit Union by Idaho Central Credit Union. At the east side of South Locust Grove Road and south of East Overland Road, including all staff comments from their memo dated October 13`h and our hearing date today, October 16`h. In addition, as the applicant has agreed, additional requirements would be parking out on the west side of the subject property will stub to the proposed new lot. Also a shared access agreement on the south drive shall be supplied. End of motion. Zaremba: Second Borup: Motion and second. All in favor? Any opposed? MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES Item 8.

Both of these are for the Glacier Springs Subdivision by Tuscany Development. I'd like to open both hearings at this time and start with the staff report.
