Borup: Commissioner Centers. Centers: As you may know, we have a letter from the applicant on four, five and six requesting postponement to November 20tH and I would recommend that and -- that we move it to the November 20tH meeting, if you agree with the agenda on that day. Zaremba: Mr. Chairman, I would like to discuss the date of the moving. Centers: Yeah. Well, that's why I'm asking the Chairman. He has the agenda. Zaremba: Okay. Borup: Of the November -- Mathes: 20tH Borup: -- 20tH Centers: 20tH Borup: Yes. Zaremba: While you're looking, my comment, Mr. Chairman, would be that their reason for asking it to move to November 20tH is that it doesn't get heard by the Ada County Highway District until November 19tH. My comment would be I like to read the Highway Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting October 16, 2003 Page 3 of 114 District's comments and I'm not sure we would have them in time for me to read them by the 20`h. My suggestion would be that we calendar this for December 4th instead. Borup: The reason for the continuation last time was to wait for the ACHD report. Centers: I don't have an objection either way, it's just -- I always hate to slow up the process. Zaremba: I hate to put it off too long, but I -- Centers: And does staff does -- Zaremba: -- have read it by then Borup: Does staff have a comment on that? I don't -- I think that that doesn't really give staff a chance to really -- or does it? One day? Powell: Brad had not expressed concern to me personally, but, of course, it's a lot easier if we have a little more time to review it than one day. It would certainly give us an opportunity if we had comments that we wanted to get in written form to get them to you. Otherwise, the comments are just going to be verbal at the hearing, you won't be able to get comments in advance. Borup: I think sometimes it may depend on the project. The traffic was one of the big concerns on this and so that makes sense, it's probably not something we would want to try to hurry through. Centers: That's fine with me. I would move we postpone it to December 4th, the first meeting in December. Zaremba: I will second that motion. Borup: Okay. Motion and second to continue Items 4, 5 and 6, Redfeather Estates Subdivision to the December 4th scheduled meeting. All in favor? Any opposed? Thank you. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES Powell: Chairman, I'm a little confused. Are these just changes to the agenda that we are proposing or did you open that Public Hearing or did we need to? Centers: It never was open. It's postponed. Borup: Well, this was a continued hearing from the previous meeting. It was opened at the last meeting and -- Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting October 16, 2003 Page 4 of 114 Centers: We did open it? Borup: Yes, we did open it at the last meeting and they were continued, so do we need it -- so this is already open, isn't it? Do I need to open it again? Powell: Maybe our attorney can give us some advice. Do they need to reopen it and, then, table it, so it doesn't need to be -- or continue it so that -- Borup: Because it is continued now Holinka: Right. Chairman, Members of the Commission, I guess I'm confused on that as well. I think probably the better thing to do would be to reopen it and continue it, so don't have any notice problems. Borup: So, every time you continue a hearing, it's got to be reopened? How do you reopen a hearing that's already open? Zaremba: If you continued it it's still open. Rohm: It was never closed. Borup: The last meeting we opened it, we were open for testimony on other than traffic areas, and, then, continued it. Zaremba: It was a continuation, then, with sufficient notice to bring people to this meeting, then, continuing it again should be. Borup: We can open it again, but it's already open, I thought Holinka: Perhaps the better motion would be to move to continue it, rather than to postpone it. I mean maybe it's the same thing, but -- Borup: Okay. Yes, I -- Centers: I would amend my motion to continue the Public Hearings, Items 4, 5 and 6 to our December 4th meeting. Zaremba: The second accepts the amendment. Borup: Motion and second. All in favor? MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES Borup: Oka~r. Is anybody else in here confused? Those items are continued to the December 4 h meeting, give a chance for -- be able to receive and review the ACHD report. Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting October 16, 2003 Page 5 of 114 Powell: Chairman Borup, forgive me for this, but did you adopt the agenda and, if so, there was -- we did want to request a slight modification to it. Item Number 11, we do have Mike Reno here to talk about it, so we were hoping to move it forward, so -- in deference to -- Borup: Okay. I was not aware of that request, so did that get -- Powell: I was going to talk to you before you -- Borup: Right. Why didn't you do that? Powell: You were rather fast today. I'm sorry. Borup: Okay. Zaremba: If it requires a motion to rearrange the agenda, I'd so move that Item 11 be considered next. Rohm: I'll second that. Item 11. Public Hearing: CUP 03-047 Request for a Conditional Use Permit to demolish existing home and rebuild one single family residential dwelling for caretakers quarters on lot 2, block 2 of Observation Point Subdivision in a R-4 zone by RF Construction - 500 East Victory Road: Borup: Motion and second. We will look at Item Number 11. In doing so, we'd like to open Public Hearing CUP 03-047, request for a Conditional Use Permit to demolish an existing home and rebuild one single-family residence for a caretaker's quarter in Lot 2, Block 2, of Observation Point Subdivision. As I said, the Public Hearing is open and we'd like to start with the staff report. Hood: Thank you, Mr. Chair, Members of the Commission. Planning and -- this is Craig Hood, Planning and Zoning. The applicant R.F. Construction has requested approval of a Conditional Use Permit to replace an existing single family home with a new 1,125- foot -- square foot -- single family home on a 1.8-acre site located at 500 East Victory Road. The subject site was recently annexed into the city and zoned R-4. In 2002 a plat was recorded that included this property as Lot 2, Block 2, Observation Point Subdivision. A note was placed on the face of the Final Plat restricting the issuance of Building Permits for this lot until a sewer line had been constructed to serve the site. Further, a note was placed on the face of the Observation Point plat that required all single-family lots to contain structures being a minimum of 2,100 square feet. The applicant is proposing to construct a single family home utilizing the existing septic system. The applicant's proposal requires a Conditional Use Permit, because connect to the municipal water and sewer systems of the City of Meridian is required in an R-4 zone. Further, Meridian City Code requires only single-family detached houses in the
