hereby make the following Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law
and Order of Decision, as follows to-wit:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The City Council takes judicial notice of its Zoning,
Subdivisions and Development Ordinances codified at Title 11
Municipal Code of the City of Meridian and all current zoning maps
thereof and the Comprehensive Plan of the City of Meridian adopted
December 21, 1993 Ordinance #629 - January 4, 1994 and Maps.
2. The requirements of Idaho Code §§ 67-6509, 6516 and §§

Page - 1
3. The Applicant is AV II LLC whose address is 590 North
Maple Grove Road, Boise, Idaho 83704. The location of the subject
property is 1650 East Fairview Ave., Meridian, Idaho 83642.
4. The legal description of the property is as follows:
Lot 3, Block 1, AVEST PLAZA SUBDIVISION, according
to the official plat thereof filed in Book 70 of
Plats at Pages 7179 and 7180, records of Ada
County, Idaho. (Exhibit "A")
5. The present land use of subject property is commercial.
6. The proposed land use of subject property is
commercial.
7. The present zoning district of subject property is (C-
G) General Retail and Service Commercial.
8. That a vicinity map of the proposed scale approved by
the City Council showing property lines, existing streets,
proposed district and such other items as required have been
furnished.
9. That a schematic drawing, proposed elevation double
faced tenant monument sign, of which is attached to these
findings marked Exhibit "A" has been supplied.
10. The Applicant requests a variance of the provisions of
Section 11-2-415(C)Municipal Code of the City of Meridian for an
off premises sign erected on Lot 3, Block 1, for the tenants that
are in Lot 2, Block 1, Avest Plaza Subdivision according to the
official plat thereof, in accordance with the site plan, which is
attached to these findings marked Exhibit "C".
RAMA SUBDIVISION VARIANCE - FINDINGS & CONCLUSIONS
Page - 2
11. The subject property, Lot 3, which is presently used as
a landscape berm that parallels Fairview Ave. The proposed
variance is the monument type sign to be erected on the berm.
12. The characteristics of the subject property prevent
compliance with the requirements of the zoning ordinance are as
follows:
12.1 The landscape berm of the subject property presents
an attractive barrier between Fairview Ave. and the
shopping center and parking lot of the shopping
center that presently houses the major tenant, Fred
Meyer. The berm therefore reduces the visibility
and prevents those traveling in the vicinity of the
berm to quickly see the stores, and the rear
portion, which are on Lot 2, Block 1, though the
major access to said stores is on Fairview Ave.
12.2 There are five (5) businesses located on Lot 2,
Block 1.
12.3 The location and proximity of berming and of
improvements on Lot 3, Block 1, prevent the clear
visibility of any on premises sign from Fairview
Ave. to be erected on Lot 2, Block 1, the
circumstances does not exist on neighboring lands,
structures or buildings located in the same zoning
district.
12.4 A literal interpretation of the provisions of
Section 11-2-415(C) Municipal Code of the City of
Meridian prohibit off premises signs, deprive the
applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other
properties in the same zoning district because of
their proximity to Fairview Ave. and the ability
of said properties to erect signs in accordance
with the sign ordinance.
13. Special conditions or circumstances existing were not
the result of the applicant's actions.
14. The applicant agrees to the condition that the granting
RAMA SUBDIVISION VARIANCE - FINDINGS & CONCLUSIONS
Page - 3
of the requested variance shall not confer upon the applicant any
special privilege that is denied by the ordinance to other lands,
structures or buildings in the same district.
15. The granting of the variance would convenience the
applicant, and the applicant would profit therefrom, and it is
found that if they have appropriate signage, viewable from
Fairview, given the position of the businesses on Lot 2, Block 1
the granting of a variance is necessary.
16. That for the reasons set forth in these findings the
application of the provisions of the ordinance restricting off
premises signs clearly impracticable are unreasonable.
17. The applicant paid the fee established by the City
Council for application variance.
18. The variance is in accordance with the Meridian
Comprehensive Plan.
19. That for the reasons set forth in these findings of fact
there is extraordinary hardship to the owner and applicant because
of the unusual topography and nature or condition of adjacent
development, physical conditions and other conditions related
thereto make strict compliance with the Ordinance unreasonable
under the circumstances.
20. The Council finds that there are no factors to be
considered regarding the public's welfare or injury to other
property in the area, so long as and upon the condition that the
RAMA SUBDIVISION VARIANCE - FINDINGS & CONCLUSIONS
Page - 4
sign to be erected is in accordance with the design set forth in
Exhibit `~A" that the variance is so conditioned; that could result
from the granting of the requested variance, and no evidence of
such was presented.
21. There are no factors to be considered regarding any
effect of the proposed request that would require altering the
interest and purposes of the Zoning and Development Ordinance of
the City of Meridian, and/or the Meridian Comprehensive Plan.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
1. The City of Meridian has authority pursuant to the
enactment of the Local Land Use Planning Act of 1975 codified at

Code § 67-6516 to provide as part of its zoning ordinance for the
process of applications for variance permits.

Idaho Code § 67-6516 by the enactment as a part of its Zoning and
Development Ordinance variances, as set forth in § 11-2-419 of the
Municipal Code of the City of Meridian.
3. That the requirements for the processing of a variance
request are set forth in Idaho Code ~~ 67-6509, 6516 and ~§ 11-2-

Page - 5
findings which are required are set forth in § 11-2-419C, conclude
a required finding that special circumstances or conditions
affecting the property that strict application of the provisions of
Zoning and Development Ordinance would clearly be impracticable and
unreasonable, and a finding that strict compliance with the
requirements of the Zoning and Development Ordinance would result
in extraordinary hardship to the owner, subdivider or developer
because unusual topography, the nature or condition of adjacent
development, or other physical conditions or other conditions that
make strict compliance with the ordinance unreasonable under the
circumstances, or that the conditions and requirements of said
ordinance will result in inhibiting the achievements or the
objectives of the ordinance, and that the granting of a specified
variance will not be detrimental to the public's welfare or
injurious to other property in the area in which the property is
situated, and that such variance will not have the effect of
altering the interest and purposes of the Zoning and Development
Ordinance and the Meridian Comprehensive Plan.

Re: Application MV-05-98 at 1650 East Fairview
The Ada County Highway District (ACHD) has reviewed the referenced sign application.
ACHD staff have concluded the following:
The District has no plans to widen this section of Locust Grove Road in the near future.
The proposed sign should be located outside the right-of--way of Locust Grove Road.
The proposed sign should be located a minimum of 13-feet from the existing curbline of
Locust Grove Road. This location will ensure that the sign is not an obstruction to
driveway traffic.
The submitted materials do not show the location of the proposed sign. Please ask future sign
applicants to dimension their drawings so that we might better locate their proposed signs in
the field.
Please let me know if there are any questions or other concerns.

Page 2 Application and Standards for Variances
Literal interpretation of the off-premise ordinance resulted in several businesses
being prevented from advertising their business on the subject property. Other businesses
in the shopping center and in the general area near the subject property advertise their
business through signage. Unexplicably, the developer did not request (in the original
conditional use permit of the property), that the businesses in Lot 2 be permitted, so that
a sign could be erected on the subject property.
The City of Meridian will not allow us to erect a sign on the subject property. The
special condition is that the subject property was not originally permitted to allow signage,
to promote the businesses on Lot 2.
Permits have been granted to other businesses in the shopping center to erect
approved signs along Fairview Avenue in the same general vicinity as where we wish to
erect a sign. No special right will be conferred that has not been previously given in
the same area.
We are aware that the City of Meridian is concerned with the spread of
objectionable signage, especially along Fairview Avenue. The signage for which we are
asking approval will be similar to the monument signs previously approved for Key Bank
and recently approved for Subway et. al. in the same shopping center. We believe that
the proposed variance will not conflict with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan but will be
in compliance with the long range goals of it.
Present estimates suggest that about 25,000 vehicles per weekday travel on
Fairview Avenue where the Fred Meyer Shopping Center is located. A sign along
Fairview Avenue displaying the businesses in the back of the shopping center (Lot 3) will
get the attention of travelers on the busy thoroughfare and direct them to the respective
stores. The economic climate of the stores should improve along with their profitability.
