Item 10:
Public Hearing: PP 03-038 Request for Preliminary Plat approval of 71
single-family residential building lots and 7 common lots on 19.07 acres in
a proposed R-8 zone for proposed Baldwin Park Addition by Capital
Development -- north of West Ustick Road and east of North Linder Road:
Borup: Okay. Ladies and gentlemen, we'd like to reconvene our meeting this evening.
We'd like to begin with Items No.9 and 10, Public Hearing AZ 03-033, request for
annexation and zoning of 10.05 acres to R-8 zones for proposed Baldwin Park Addition
by Capital Development and accompanying that is PP 03-038, request for preliminary
plat approval on the same project. I'd like to open both these public hearings at this time
and start with the staff report.
Hood: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission. The first application --
as you mentioned, there are two applications here. The first application is for an
annexation and rezone of 10.17 acres to an R-8 zone and the site is located generally
half a mile north of Ustick Road and one half mile west of Meridian Road The applicant
is proposing to annex the subject ten acres south of the original Baldwin Park
Subdivision and amend a previously approved preliminary plat for Baldwin Park by
adding additional open space and 39 new buildable lots south of the White Drain, which
is the second application, Item No.1 0, Baldwin Park Addition Subdivision, a 71 lot --
excuse me -- 71 lot single family buildable lots and seven common lots on 19.07 acres.
This property is designated as medium density residential on the City of Meridian future
land use map. The property that was previously annexed by the city is currently zoned
R-8 and that's the same zone that the annexation and zoning is requesting for the
southerly half of this preliminary plat. The gross density of the proposed preliminary plat
is 3.72 dwelling units per acre. The net density of the plat is 4.81 dwelling units per acre.
The single family buildable lots within the subdivision range from 6,700 square feet to
11,050 square feet. All the housing types are proposed as single family detached. Five
percent of the gross area of the site is devoted to open space. The subject site is
currently vacant and used for agricultural purposes. The applicant is requesting, as
stated in the staff report, a waiver of the requirement to tile the White Drain, which runs
in this location here. This is the White Drain. The applicant has requested a waiver to
pipe or tile that, which staff is supportive of. Staff has also received a letter, which I
believe the Commissioners also have a copy of, requesting that the fencing adjacent to
the White Drain be consistent with the fencing that was approved in the previous
phases of Baldwin Park. In the staff report, which is site specific condition number three
on page ten, there is language for a noncombustible fence adjacent to the White Drain
easement and staff is okay with amending that if the Commission feels that that's
acceptable to match into what was, again, previously approved in Baldwin Park. And the
reason for that is a couple fold. One, it was previously approved and, two, the White
Drain lies -- it's a fairly wide easement, I believe it's 60 feet and the White Drain is
centered in that, so there is a good distance between the edge of the bank and the back
of buildable lots where the fencing would be, so the chances of a fence catching on fire
if that -- the drain will burn for irrigation, it's far enough away that we don't believe that it
will be a problem. Also, in that letter the applicant would like to modify condition number
Meridian Planning & Zoning
January 8, 2004

four on page ten of the staff report. Staff would like to modify the applicant's modification
to a condition to remove that first sentence that the applicant is proposing, just state if
any buildable lots located within the Settler's irrigation easement, then, the
encroachment agreement needs to be submitted to us prior to the city engineer's
signature of the final plat.
Zaremba: I'm sorry. Which item are you talking about?
Hood: That one is condition number four on page ten. And the applicant was stating that
there wasn't any -- there weren't any lots that were within Settler's Irrigation District
easements and on the preliminary plat there is the Coleman Lateral that also runs here
and staff believes that there was an easement -- that the Coleman included, so any of
these buildable lots, if that easement were to remain, was concerned that half of the
buildable lots would be in an irrigation easement and, therefore, wouldn't be able to be
utilized with any fencing or, you know, with any structures by those lots, so that's kind of
where that condition originated from. So, if they are able to vacate any easements, if
there are any that are there prior to that signature, then, that encroachment agreement
is no longer applicable. So, just kind of a clean up, if there are buildable lots within
irrigation easements we need that agreement.
Zaremba: So, tell me the suggested new wording to number four.
Hood: If you're looking at the staff report --
Zaremba: Uh-huh. Page ten, number four.
Hood: It would be -- if any buildable lots are located within the Settler's Irrigation District
easement, submit a copy of an encroachment agreement with the Nampa -- or Settler's
Irrigation District, in this case Nampa-Meridian I guess doesn't have an easement there
-- for any buildable lots. So, basically, just -- you can work on the language, I guess. I
didn't have it written down verbatim, but if any -- if any buildable lots basically is the key
there.
Zaremba: Got it.
Hood: Prior to signature. Commissioners, what may be easier is the applicant has some
language in that letter, again, dated January 5th on page two of that letter that was
faxed over and if you want to use that language, I guess staff would just recommend
that strike that first sentence and put an if in front of the -- at leave if, I guess, and
remove the final plat is modified with in the second condition, to read -- the condition
would read: If any buildable lots are located within the Settler's Irrigation District
easement, et cetera.
Zaremba: I'm not following you. You're on their page two, their item number four?
Hood: Their page two, item number four, yes. Second paragraph.
Meridian Planning & Zoning

Page 59 of 89
Zaremba: That's in quotes?
Hood: Yeah. In the quotes. Strike that first sentence.
Zaremba: Oh, the whole first sentence.
Hood: Yes. And, then, the condition -- and, then, you also strike: The final plat is
modified with and add are between lots and located. Yeah. To replace the existing
condition four. And, then, I think the final thing for me -- there was one item for Mr.
Freckleton -- I'll let the applicant kind of state his reasoning on that and, then, let Bruce
get to that, if that's -- but condition number eight on page ten, I also agree with the
application that that condition should be modified to delete Lot 8, Block 19. This is
condition number eight on page ten of staffs report.
Borup: Eleven.
Zaremba: Page 11.
Hood: Or, I'm sorry. On page 11. I'm sorry.
Borup: That was pertaining to the fencing?
Hood: Yeah. In subsection A of that condition it refers to Lot 8, Block 19. There are no
micropaths in that lot, so it's a common lot and there are no micropaths, so micropath
fencing doesn't really apply there. If they do put some type of a walkway in there,
fencing adjacent to that will be covered, but it didn't seem to be applicable in this part of
the staff report. With that, I believe that those are the conditions that the applicant had
issue with, I guess, and I will sit for any questions you may have.
Borup: Questions from the Commission? So, on item number eight you're agreeable
with the applicant's wordings of -- of those, then?
Hood: Yeah. Their language is fine, just striking in Lot 8, Block 19, of A and adding -- I
don't think it's necessary to add the other part to A. If you want to do that. that's fine.
And in subsection C adding that is fine as well, per the applicant's Letter.
Borup: All right. Thank you. Questions from the Commission? Would the applicant like
to do their presentation?
Briggs: Dean Briggs, Briggs Engineering, 1800 West Overland Road. I'd like to thank
Craig for putting together most of the items for us. I just want to hit the highlights again.
We agree with all the conditions as he set forth. The only item that he did not address
was on condition number five we are asking that two words be deleted from that
condition. It says prior to plan approval the city engineer's signature on the final plat,
we'd like to submit that just instead of plan approval, just have it submitted prior to his
Meridian Planning & Zoning
January 8, 2004
Page 60 of 89
signature. And the reasoning for that is the pressure irrigation system sometimes part of
that O&M manual is the construction drawing and we'd like to have the first review from
the staff prior to putting that O&M manual together, so that we can submit one that they
have already seen the layout and put it together in a complete form.
Borup: You don't already have a manual together with the previous subdivision?
Briggs: We do. We have a manual for the existing subdivision, we just haven't -- we
won't have the modifications for this phase of that.
Zaremba: Okay. Your point five on your point two says to modify the fourth sentence in
the staff's memo -- two, three, four --
Briggs Right in the middle.
Borup: A draft copy?
Briggs: Right.
Freckleton: Mr. Chairman?
Zaremba: I get it. Okay.
Borup: Mr. Freckleton.
Freckleton: In this particular instance where this is basically going to be an expansion of
an existing system in the rest of Baldwin Park, I don't have a problem with the request at
all.
Borup: Okay.
Freckleton: Typically, these O&M manuals are kind of an evolutionary document and
when you get to the end of a development is when all of the final pieces are put together
and you get one good hard copy with all of the as-builts and everything put into it and so
I guess I kind of view this as just an expansion of something that's existing out there
right now and so we will agree to Mr. Briggs' request.
Borup: Okay. Thank you. Is there anything else?
Briggs: No. Not from me.
Borup: Questions from the Commission? Okay. Thank you.
Briggs: Thank you.

Item 11:
Public Hearing: CUP 03-061 Request for a Conditional Use Permit for a
dental office in an L-O zone for Gaudry Dental Office by Dr. Robert
Gaudry -- southeast corner of Millenium Way and Gala Street in
Resolution Business Park:
Borup: Thank you. The next item is Public Hearing CUP 03-061, request for a
Conditional Use Permit for a dental office in an L-O zone Gaudry Dental Office. Open
this hearing at this time and start with the staff report.
Hood: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission. The applicant has
requested approval of a CUP for a new 3,300 square foot dental office on Lot 2, Block
1, in Resolution Subdivision. The property is located on the southeast corner of
Millennium Way and Gala Street, approximately 300 feet south of Overland Road and
approximately a quarter of a mile east of Locust Grove Road. Within Resolution
Subdivision the city has already approved CUP applications for a pediatrics facility, two
dental offices, an apartment complex, and two multi-tenant office buildings. This is what
the site currently looks today and there are some -- or it doesn't quite look like this, this
is from 2000. There are some buildings already constructed. This is the recently
approved Sagecrest Development. This is the new high school is here. There was
another dentist office that was approved in 2003 in this location. This is all one lot within
Resolution Subdivision. In 2003 the city approved a resubdivision of that lot into three
lots and as you can see here, this, again, was that lot that has the approved dentist
office for Dr. Seegmiller. This is a future pad site. This is the subject dental office today.
This plat has not yet been recorded. Staff did have some conditions with this second
building being constructed on what today is one site, so as a condition of approval for
this development that plat will need to be recorded prior to issuance of a CZC,
certificate of zoning compliance, on this lot, so that each building has its own lot of
record. The applicant is proposing two access points to serve these three lots. One of
them is located here, the other is located here, so not -- every lot does not have its own
ingress-egress, so there will need to be a recorded cross-access and parking
agreement amongst the lots here. The applicant -- I spoke with the applicant today.
They have drafted those covenants that is in that agreement. They are waiting for Ada
County to record that plat and, then, simultaneously with that they will record the
CC&Rs and the cross-access agreement for this development. The timing on that, I
guess, is roughly four weeks is what they have been told at the county. That should run
pretty consistent with -- by the time this application gets to the City Council and
approved by them, if they wanted to turn right around and submit that building permit for
this, it should be recorded almost at that same time. so that sounds pretty reasonable
The other thing, I guess, in the staff report that asked the applicant to clarify is I notice
that on this future lot they were not showing any dumpster location. They called me this
last week and all three lots, as well as sharing the cross-access and parking, they are
going to share the one dumpster, which is located right here, and depending how much
waste is generated from these three lots, it may need to be picked up multiple times, but
