Item 8: Public Hearing: PFP 03-005 Request for Preliminary /Final Plat approval of 2 building lots on 52.84 acres in an I-L zone for Jabil Subdivision by Jabil Circuit, Inc. - 1303 East Central Way: Borup: The next Public Hearing is PFP 03-005, request for preliminary-final plat approval of two building lots on 52 acres in an I-L zone for Jabil Subdivision. Open this hearing at this time and start with the staff report. Siddoway: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission. This also is a two lot subdivision. However, this one is on the property that the Jabil Circuits building currently sits on. It is the gray and light industrial property that s its just north of the freeway. This is an aerial photo taken a few years back when Jabil was just beginning construction. You can see the building there. It's now built out with parking all the way around. There are existing two parcels, but these are remnaht county parcels and we cannot move this line through a lot line adjustment process, thus, the plat being required in this case as well. So, they are proposing a two lot subdivision. This is the existing Jabil building with the surrounding parking. They are proposing to split the lot five feet off the back of the existing western edge of the parking. That location does comply with the landscape ordinance for a five foot buffer on the interior lot lines and, actually, one of the earlier versions of the plat did not have it there and they have already revised it per staffs recommendation. The overall site is just about 53 acres. The two lots proposed are 33 and a half acres for the -- the larger one the building sits on and, then, the one to the west would be about 19 and a half acres. Landscaping improvements were already added to the site when the Jabil Circuits project was developed on the parcel to the west. They have existing soccer fields that the PAL Soccer League uses. I guess it should be pointed out on the record that the plat will make this lot available for development and those soccer fields may not stay. There was no landscape plan submitted with the plat, as landscaping does exist, as was mentioned, along Jabil. Any development that occurs on Lot 2 would be landscapedatthe time of development. There are, I believe, four special considerations on this one. The first one is the Locust Grove overpass. When the Jabil Circuits project was originally developed, ACRD purchased right of way for an overpass at Locust Grove going across the freeway. At that time the right of way was purchased without a design having been done. Since that time a design is now done and it was determined that they actually need to purchase some more right of way. Those negotiations are underway and just ask the applicant to address that. One of the questions we had as staff is how does that affect the edge of the existing parking and so they did provide a blowup of this area showing the new right of way location that ACHD is requiring and they show the smallest point here, I believe at about 13 -- 13 feet. So, there is still adequate room with the new right of way adjacent to the existing parking, plus this portion of the right of way would likely be landscaped as the site of the on ramp, which would be centered along the street. Meridian Planning 8 Zoning January S, 2004 Page 55 of 89 Zaremba: Steve? Siddoway: Yes. Zaremba: Any ramping up that ACHD or ITD had to do to gain elevation to cross the interstate, would that be all within their right of way? They don't need any berming -- Siddoway: Yes. Zaremba: -- within Jabil's property? Siddoway: It would be within the right of way and that's the reason why they needed to purchase additional -- Zaremba: That extra space. Siddoway: Yeah. As it goes up they need more room to transition, that's why it's wider as you go further south. We did ask the applicant to revise -- revise the plat, because the o ne that was submitted and the one t hat we did t he report o n d id not show the additional right of way. Since that time the applicant has submitted and you should have received a revised final plat that has been corrected to show the new right of way location. Item number two on the special considerations deals with the pathway. There is on the Comprehensive Plan amulti-use pathway shown along the Nine Mile Creek that comes down and stubs at the freeway at this location and it does show it picking up and going on from there, but since there is no reasonable expectation that it will cross under the freeway at anytime soon, we are not requiring the pathway to be built as part of this plat. It will be considered upon development of the lot and we have just noted that in the conditions of approval for the plat. That is site specific comment number three in the staff report. The third consideration -- I have already mentioned this, but it deals with the lot line location. We were just pointing out the place where they are planing -- proposing to split the lot does conform with city ordinances for offsets for landscaping and such. And the last item is the flood plain boundaries. When Jabil Circuits was developed, the Nine Mile Creek crossed across the corner of this lot and it was relocated at that time to be right along the boundary. The FEMA flood maps still show floodway across this lot, so what this item is addressing is that the applicant needs to apply for a letter of map revision from FEMA to get the flood way shown in its current location prior to any building permits being issued on Lot 2. I believe that's all we need to point out, so I will stop there and stand for any questions. Borup: Questions from the Commission. Is the applicant here? Briggs: Hi. My name is Dean Briggs, Briggs Engineering, 1800 West Overland Road in Boise. Staff did a great job in telling you why we are doing this and all the conditions. The applicant has no qualms with any of those and we would take any questions. Meridian Planning & Zoning January 8, 2004 Page 56 of 89 Borup: Questions from the Commissioners? Thank you. Briggs: Thank you. Borup: Commissioners? Oh, I'm sorry. Do we have anyone else here from -- I was trying to move on a little too fast. Anybody here to testify on this application? Seeing none -- Zaremba: Mr. Chairman, I move that the Public Hearing on Item 8, PFP 03-005 be closed. Mathes: Second. Rohm: Second. Borup: Motion and second. All in favor? MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Zaremba: Mr. Mayor, I move we forward to the City Council recommending approval of Item 8 on our agenda, FPF 03-005, request for apreliminary-final plat approval of two building lots on 52.84 acres in an I-L zone for Jabil Subdivision by Jabil Circuit, Incorporated, 1303 East Central Way, to include all -- and this refers to the preliminary plat received by the city clerk January 6, 2004, to include all staff comments of their memo for the hearing date of January 8, 2004, received by the city clerk -- I can't read mine.
