Continuing on. Item n umber seven is PP 03-030, request for Preliminary Plat approval of 48 residential lots, 21 office lots, and seven other lots on 14.58 acres in an L-O zone for proposed Maverick Subdivision. Item number nine, CUP 03-045, request for a Conditional Use Permit to modify existing Planned Unit Development to allow for office uses. This is at Overland Road and Millennium Way in an L-O zone. This is for the proposed Maverick Subdivision. I'd like to open both hearings at this time and start with the staff report. Hood: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, m embers of the Commission. Craig Hood, Planning and Zoning staff. The applicant has requested preliminary plat and conditional use approval for a Planned Development on 14.48 acres of land located on the south side of Overland Road, on the west side of Meridian Way, between Locust Grove Road and Eagle Road. The subject site is designated high density residential on the 2002 Comprehensive Plan future land use map and currently zoned L-O. The subject site was previously plotted as Lot 6, Block 1, of Resolution Subdivision. The submitted Preliminary Plat proposes to subdivide the existing 14.58-acre lot into 48 residential lots, 21 office lots, and seven other common lots. The submitted Conditional Use Permit planned development proposes to modified the previously approved conceptual permit by reducing the number of apartment units from 200 to 192 and including 21 office pad sites along Overland Road and Millennium Way. All the proposed units contain two bedrooms. The applicant is proposing to construct a clubhouse, complete with pool and playground facilities and pedestrian pathways throughout the development as amenities for the PD. The detailed CUP includes a request for reduced setbacks for the buildings, reduced lot frontage, and reduced lot sizes in the L-O zone. As part of the detailed approval for the previous Conditional Use Permit on this site, the previous applicant was proposing to construct 20 multi-family buildings, with each building containing 10 units arranged to appear as one very large residence. This big house concept provided a different multi-family development design and feel than most other apartment complexes within the city. The applicant has responded to the written staff report and agrees that -- and staff agrees that east should be west and east should -- or west should be east and east should be west in the conditions - site- specific condition six and seven. After talking with the Public Works Department, they would prefer to just leave the standard conditions of approval in the staff Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting November 20, 2003 Page 6 of 32 report as written and then, sign off on those, rather than delete them entirely from the staff report. Zaremba: You're referring to page nine, numbers eight and nine? Hood: Conditions eight and nine, correct? That concludes staffs report and I'll stand for any questions you may have. Borup: Questions from the Commission? Does the developer have a presentation they'd like to make? Brown: For the record, my name is Kent Brown, 1800 West Overland, Boise, Idaho. I guess to start off with one of the things that we have to change on it is the name Maverick. We were hoping to use that with the Maverick -- the Mountain View High School and, apparently, they have built a gas statioh and had to do a subdivision. Mr. Priester said that name has been used and it's going to be called Sage Crest and the modified drawings that we provided to staff to answer and comply with the things that they were concerned about showed those and you should have received a copy of those. One of the modifications that we made to comply with the staff report is in our northwest corner. You can see that we have provided that cross-access at this location to our neighbor. We had two office lots there. We increased this office and made it larger, to be able to provide that connection that they were looking for. We can meet the other access that was spoken about east being west and west being east by -- in that location we would probably do that with across-access to meet the setback requirements. From your parking you're supposed to have five feet? Correct? That's why it's drawn the way that it is. If the access needs to be there, I guess we can take it right over and make that correction when and if that takes place. We have t ried t o p rovide a p ool a nd a c lubhouse i n t his I ovation. T here i s a playground located here. Felt that those were nice amenities. One of the other amenities that we have shown is a walking path that goes in between the office and the residential units, comes alohg the back here, ties into the sidewalk system here, continues up the west side and links back in. The office people also could get on the sidewalk in this location and come down and they can also walk in this location and access the pathway that will be located around the development. I don't mean to belabor anything else. I don't know that there is a whole lot. I will just answer questions. Rohm: I'm curious about this access right there. Is this whole piece of property sitting to your west? Is this the only access that that piece of property will have off of Overland Road? Brown: No. Rohm: They will be able to gain access directly from -- Borup: This has got access from Locust Grove also. Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission Meetlng November 20, 2003 Page 7 of 32 Rohm: Okay. Borup: Is that all one partner, one ownership property? Brown: Uh-huh. All that that's intended to do -- I don't know if you get frustrated, but you get into a parking lot and you got an office that's -- you thought that you were getting off the right location and this just provides this cross-access between I would imagine other office users. Borup: Okay. Well, that's a real traffic reduction. You know, some of the old things on Fairview in Boise, to go to one store from the other you got to go clear back out on the street to go next door. Rohm: Well, I guess what my concern was is this is going to be a very busy intersection right here and -- and I thought that the intent was to tray and minimize the number of ingresses and egresses off of the main roadway and if we have one -- you have an access off of Overland right in here and then, having another one right in here, it just seems like it's asking for trouble down the road. It appears that way to me and so my point was -- is it didn't look like that there was a lot of vehicular traffic available there, it was just more, like you say, if you pulled into the wrong driveway you could, actually, make it over to the right one and It just seems like it should be wider. Is that possible? Brown: The travel lane is very similar to what a regular local street would be. It's 28 foot and you have 34-foot width, 50-foot right of way -- I would think that the 28-foot is adequate. Borup: Don't we already have a project to the west that's been approved? Zaremba: Even if we don't, I would add that ACHD just completed the Overland Road project across here and here is a driveway cut into that other property, so -- Rohm: In here? Zaremba: There is an existing -- Rohm: If there is, then -- Zaremba: --driveway cut in, so I assume they are expecting that to be used. Borup: Okay. It's a separate parcel under separate ownership right now. Okay. Zaremba: I had a question. You identify on the preliminary plat a lot called an access lot, which, apparently, is all the driveways and the parking and stuff like that. Does that differ from a common lot in how it will be maintained and who is responsible for resurfacing it 30 years down the road or is it like a common lot with just a -- Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting November 20, 2003 Page 8 of 32 Brown: It's exactly like a common lot, without being a private drive. It just provides access and there will be a mutual maintenance over that, so -- Zaremba: The homeowners association and business owners association? Brown: Right. Exactly. Zaremba: Okay, and the other would be just an opinion. On this access here to the east, assuming this other property will develop sometime soon, even if we don't have an application now, I can't see having you go to the expense of five feet of landscaping for that 30 foot wide stretch necessarily. I would think just act as if it's going to be connected sometime soon. Is staff comfortable with that? My only other question -- I know this is an L-O zone, which has some restrictions about what can go into the businesses. There being a high school literally right there, do you envision any of these being fast food restaurants or needing to have drive-thrus or -- Brown: If any of those were to come before you, they would have to come through with adetail -- Zaremba: The CUP process. Brown: -- CUP process, and so, basically, the only detailed portion of this process that we are going through tonight is the residential portion and each and every one of those office spaces and the uses there you will be reviewing. It's kind of similar to what Boise does with design review, the way that we are approaching that, but we are comfortable with each one of those offices coming in that way. We have received a lot of interest from -- I mean Briggs wants to move to Meridian. That's a great location. It's less than a mile from my house. My son goes to Mountain View but we can't coerce him for an office yet, but we are working on that, so -- but I know that that's been some of the use that they have had, probably a little more commercial type of an office use out on Overland versus being closer to the high school. Borup: But did you say they would need to come back under a CUP? Brown: Yes. Borup: Was that -- was that how this parcel was originally -- that was one of the original conditions on this parcel? Brown: No. The original approval was for a detailed approval for -- Borup: I remember -- no. I remember that. I mean why does it need to come back with a CUP? Brown: Because we are not specifically showing you what the spaces are going to be. Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting November 20, 2003 Page 9 of 32 Borup: Oh. Okay. It doesn't affect the zoning, just the -- Brown: The zoning will remain the same and they would have to comply with the zone and come in for a CUP. Borup: Do we have anyone else to testify on this application? Seeing none, Commissioners? Zaremba: Mr. Chairman? Borup: Commissioner Zaremba. Zaremba: I move the Public Hearing on Item 7 and Item 8 be closed. Mathes: Second. Borup: Motion and second to close the Public Hearing on Items 7 and 8. All in favor? Any opposed? MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES Zaremba: Mr. Chairman? Borup: Commissioner Zaremba. Zaremba: I move we forward to the City Council recommending approval of Item 7 on our agenda, PP 03-030, request for a Preliminary Plat approval of 48 residential lots, 21 office lots, and seven other lots on 14.58 acres in an L-O zone for proposed Maverick Subdivision.
