I have reviewed the Findings of Fact/Conclusions of Law/Decision & Order (FFCL/DO) for the
Farmers & Merchants Bank Conditional Use Permit and Variance. There are a few items that need
to be clarified prior to acting on the FFCL/DOs.
Regarding the CUP, was it the Council's intention to require removal of the existing building, or was
it your intention to give the applicant the option of keeping or removing the building? The
discussion prior to the motion seems to suggest that the Council was supportive of the building
being removed if the applicant so chooses, but that they would have the option. The motion, taken
from draft minutes, states that "We would recommend that removal of existing building once [the]
new building is occupied." The FFCL then states on page 22, " 2. The applicant shall remove the
existing Farmers and Merchants State Bank building upon occupancy of the new building facility."
The applicant would prefer to have the option.
Regarding the Variance, The Decision & Order states, "That the Applicant is hereby granted a
variance for parking of 46 stalls with 15 diagonal on-street parking stalls in the OT zone for Farmers
and Merchants State Bank," which accurately reflects the motion taken from the draft minutes.
Two clarifications: First, we need to clarify that there aze only 13 proposed on-street spaces, not 15.
Second, if the Council intends to require removal of the existing budding, then 46 off-street pazking
spaces is the correct number. However, if the Council intends to give the applicant the option of
keeping the existing building, the number of off-street parking stalls would be reduced to 35. Thus,
the Variance would have to be approved for as few as 35 spaces in order to give the applicant the
option to keep the building.
Staff recommends pulling the FFCL/DO for Farmers & Merchants from the consent agenda for a
brief discussion to clarify these items and revise the motion and FFCL/DO, if necessary.
In order to facilitate a revised motion, I have prepared drafts below that would give the applicant the
option of either site plan, if the Council so chooses.
1. Make a motion to clarify that for CLTI'-03-050, Farmers & Merchants Bank, that the applicant
will hate the option of either keeping or removing the existing structure, and direct the attorney
to modify the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law to so reflect.
2. Make a motion to clarify that for VAR 03-021, Farmers & Merchants parking variance, that the
number of on-street parking spaces is 13 and the number of off-street spaces is 46 if the existing
structure is removed and may be as few as 35 if the existing structure remains.
If the Council does not intend to allow the option, the only modification would be to change the
number of on-street parking stalls from 15 to 13.

G. Adopt the comment of the Water Department as follows:
There is no water line stubbed into this property.
H. Adopt the action of the City Council taken at their January 20, 2004 meeting as follows:
For clarification:
The revised Preliminary Site Plan that were submitted dated 12-01-03 and stamped"
RECEIVED DEC 02 2003 City of Meridian City Clerk Office, are hereby approved.
2. The applicant shall remove the existing Farmers and Merchants State Baal: building upon
occupancy of the new building facility.
3. Pertaining to having either pavers or stamped concrete within the landscaping around the
trees, this issue shall be resolved between ACHD and City staff Upon final resolution to
this issue, the applicant shall abide by City staff's decision.
13. It is found that the subject property, as depicted, is large enough to acconunodate the
required open spaces and landscaping required by the ordinance, but not parking. The site
accommodated the required number of parking stalls for the original submittal; but the revised plan
does not meet pati<ing requirements based on the larger structure. However, it is supported the
proposed building modifications, as they are more historically accurate and compatible with existing
historic structures in downtown. Therefore, staff will support a Variance to the parl.iog requirements
'for the revised structure. If a Variance is approved for the project, then it is found that the project
will meet this requirement.
The proposed revised bank building is 16,000 s.f. Ordinance requires Toff-street parking
space per 200 s.f of gross floor area, for a total of 80 spaces. The proposed site plan shows 46 off-
street parking stalls, 11 of which are on the existing Farmers & Merchants site. There are also 13
diagonal on-street parking spaces proposed on Broadway Avenue adjacent to the project, for a total
of ~9 stalls. If the existing structure remains, there will be a total of 48 spaces.

] 4. The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates the property as "Old Town" and i t
is currently zoned O-T. Old Town "includes the historic downtown anal the Cate community center.
Uses would include offices, retail and lodging, theaters, restaurants and service retail for surrounding
residents and visitors.... In order to provide and accommodate preservation of the historical
character, specific design requirements may be imposed" (see Comprehensive Plan, p. 99).
Ordinance I 1-8-1, Schedule of Use Control, allows for banks and drive-in establishments through
the conditional use process in the O-T zone. It is found that the requested use w ill be iu compliance
with the approved Future Land Use Map if design requirements are imposed that preserve the
character of Old Town. It is further found Chat if the project is approved as a CUP it will be in
compliance with the MCC.
15. The surrounding properties vary greatly and include City ,Hall, a bank, a bar, a gas
station, the Creamery, the American Legion hall, and residences. Old Town is intended as a mi xed
use zone. Therefore, it is found that the proposed development will not adversely change the
existing or intended character of the general vicinity. The revised design of the building is
compatible with existing historical structures in the area.
l6. The p roposed s ite p lan places the drive-thru along Meridian Road, across from
existing residences, which maybe affected. A site layout is preferred so that it accesses the drive-
thru from the alley, instead ofplacing it along the Meridian Road frontage. However, given existing
h'affic levels and associated noise along Meridian Road (see item G below) it is not anticipated thaC
the proposed use will adversely affect adjacent properties. h1 the case of the Creamery, the proposed
project should actually add further incentive for redevelopment.
17. The project proposes vehicular access from Broadway Avenue and from the alley
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION AND 012llER
G12ANTING CONDITIONAL tiSE PERMIT

between Meridian Road and Main Street. ACHD approved the proposed project with the conditions
noted in their report. The major change required by ACHD was modifying the two-way alley to be
one-way, except for atwo-way section to access the drive-thru. Water and sanitary sewer service to
the project is readily available to the site via mains installed adjacent Co the property. The comment
from Meridian Water Dept. states that no water line is stubbed into this property, yet several arc
depicted on the Preliminary Site Utility Plan. The applicant should confirm the existence of the
services shown on their plans, with the Meridian Water Department.
18. If approved, the applicant will finance the extension of sewer, water, utilities and
pressurized irrigation to serve the project. The primary public costs to serve the future project will be
fire and police services. It is found that there will not be excessive additional requirements at public
cost and that the proposed use will not be detrimental to the community's economic welfare.
19. ACHD estimates that the traffic volume would be 900 additional average daily trips
(I 048 existing) for the originally proposed bank building. This number has not yet been updated for
the larger revised building. Traffic congestion is an ongoing issue for downtown, the resolution of
which is beyond the scope of this project. ACHD staff finds that the additional traffic created by a
revised building should not be excessive. It is also found that no smoke, fumes, glare or odors will
result froth the proposed use.
20. As addressed directly above in number 19, vehicular approaches are proposed from
Broadway Avenue and from the existing alley. It is found that the proposed use will not create
significant interference with traffic on the surrounding public streets. Please refer to ACHD
comments for additional detail on this issue. According to ACHD staff, the project does not require
action by the ACHD Commission and was approved at stafflevel on October 7, 2003. The revisions
FINllINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECIS[ON AND ORDER

made to the plan will not trigger a new report because it complies with the original conditions.
21. It is found that the sigtrificant existing trees are on or adjacenC to the site. The
existing street trees shall be protected during all construction and demolition activities. The ex fisting
magnolia tree near the entrance of the existing structure should also be protected.
