acres from RT to C-G zones for Kissler (Deals Parcel) by BRS Architects
- southeast corner of East Ustick Road and North Eagle Road:
De Weerd: Okay. We did have -- Item 16 and 17 are related. Can I open those up at
the same time? Any problems? Okay. I will open up the continued Public Hearing from
October 28, 2003, on AZ 03-018, request annexation and zoning of 43.86 +/- acres from
RT to C-G zones for Kissler, Cobbs, Eagy, Ruwe by BRS -- Ruwe -- Ruwe by -- I'm
sorry if I ruined someone's name out there. -- by BRS Architects and also the Public
Hearing from AZ 03-022, request for annexation and zoning of five acres from RT to C-
Gzones for Kissler Deals Parcel by BRS Architects, and start with staff comments.
Powell: Madam President, Members of the Council, tonight's theme seems to be no
easy applications. On this project -- I suppose it's alittle -- I'm sorry. This project -- the
first h Baring o n t his particular p roject --and I'm not really p repared t o t alk about the
second one. The Council directed the applicants to come back with a Planned
Development, particularly for the four property owners on the eastern -- the three
property owners, excuse me, on the western portion of this application, which is on the
west side of Eagle Road and south of Ustick. They -- there is kind of a good news, bad
news thing, and that's two of the property owners were able to come to an agreement
on a conceptual plan, the third decided to pull out of the application. Eagy is the one
thatdecidedto withdraw from the application -- annexation application. That leaves
Ruwe a nd Kennevick, C obbs a nd,then, o f course, t hat w ould b e t oo e ass, because
they could go across the street and catch Kennevick, but the annexation path, of
course, was through Eagy. These two properties in Carol Subdivision provided the
annexation path to Eagy and, then, down to Ruwe and to Kennevick. What's preventing
the annexation path is this little strip that separates the Ruwe property from any city
owned property. I asked that this not be tabled, as the applicant requested, without me
bringing this up. I have talked to the public works staff. There is a problem in that we
no longer have an annexation path. There is also a problem in that we no longer have a
correct description of the proposed annexation boundary. Ruwe is working with the
former land -- I think t his land is currently owned by the person who developed this
subdivision. It was a surveying error. It's just a survey error and what they are
proposing to do is divide that there and Ruwe would take ownership of that property,
Eagy would take ownership of the property up here. They need to do that through the

county before they can come -- through the county assessor's office, the county
assessor's office said that they need to get it cleared through county development
services, so it's at least a month long application before they are able to straighten that
out. I wanted to talk to you all about it and to get an opinion from Mr. Nichols, I
suppose. I think they need a new application. We have got a new boundary, we have
got new property owners involved -- to me, it would seem to need a new application just
for the purposes of notification and a good record for the city, but I wanted the attorney
to be able to comment on that. I probably shouldn't have just surprised him with it
tonight and I apologize, but wanted you to look at that and I also wanted you to look at
the conceptual plan tonight and that will take me a second to come up -- bring up. It's
on the overhead project -- to get an idea if this is something that is acceptable, so that if
they do need to bring it back or when they do need to bring it back, is this level of detail
acceptable for the concept plan. Probably can't tell them that it would be okay as far as
a concept plan, but if we could just address the question of the level detail and I will
bring that up now.
De Weerd: Well, I guess I understand why the applicant asked -- or one of the
applicants asked for it to be continued. It sounds like there is a lot of information
needed to --
Powell: Well -- and I guess what I think is that it -- instead of tabling, I think they,
actually, need to withdraw it and that's why I wanted to bring it up tonight.
De Weerd: Okay. Mr. Nichols, I guess I guess there was a question posed to you on
this. Nothing to put you on the spot, but -- do you need us to take a short recess?
Nichols: Until December -- no. Madam President, Anna, if I can -- while you're working
there, if you could answer this question. Explain to me why you feel that it needs to be
anew application.
Powell: B ecause the boundarythat was submitted with the application included this
property -- it came down here, it came on the other side of that line over here and, then,
over to the Kissler property that's on the other side of Eagle Road. Now, that the
boundary of the application looks something like this and, then, it comes over here.
They have got a completely different annexation path. The 300 foot noticing would not
pick up anybody new, it's unlikely, although with the addition of I think 60 feet there is a
possibility that it could pick up somebody new over here on the other side of the street.
Nichols: And so to summarize, the new application would be everything but Eagy's
property?
Powell: Correct
Nichols: Because Kennevick, Cobbs, becomes contiguous by the Kissler property
across Eagle Road.
Meridian City Council

Powell: Correct.
De Weerd: Okay. Can you show the other slide?
Powell: The conceptual plan?
Bird: Yeah. Back up one.
De Weerd: Yes.
Bird: Where we see the Kissler property, too, please.
Nichols: The vicinity map.
Bird: Yes. Vicinity. Excuse me
Powell: Okay. I have got it. It's frozen here. Can I show you this, so that I don't have
to go back to it? Sorry. This was the concept plan. They had some multi-family
residential, a mix of retail, commercial, and office. Some straight commercial, retail of
commercial and office here. Then, they just kind of had a utility buffer idea here. I think
that we had asked them, if they come back, to have more of a -- kind of a landscape
buffer or something along that. This was, I believe, high intensity commercial here, as
well as this intersection here. This was the kind of level of detail we were looking at. I
can come back to that one. Let me get the --
De Weerd: And, Anna was another concern of the enclave that we will be creating?
Powell: Because Eagy has frontage on both Eagle and Ustick, it wasn't as much of a
concern there. They are providing specific cross-access points. They have shown
where they intend to have cross-access. It's, obviously, not something we could
measure, but they are saying, basically, okay, we are going to have access here, we
are going to have access here, we are going to have access here. I thought, originally
we were going to have one here. It looks like that one went away. That's kind of the
level of detail with -- we could address, but Eagy is kind of the -- because it wraps
around, it may not be as much of a concern, particularly with this one where you have
got the -- almost one user size parcel there. I can freeze this one while I go to the
vicinity map if you'd like.
De Weerd: I think this shows it
Bird: This is fine.
Powell: Oh, is this fine? Okay. Thank you.
Nary: Madam President?
Meritlian City Council

Page 46 of 76
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: One of the things, Anna -- have you had that discussion about withdrawing the
application? Have they been resistant to that or have we not really had that
conversation?
Powell: We had that conversation with Mr. Strite. I think that the applicant would prefer,
obviously, not to start over again and pay new fees, but they'd prefer to continue on. I'm
just not sure whether they can. I'm not sure that there is huge public interest -- in all
honesty, I don't know that we'd come to any different conclusion when we got to this
point making them go through the process. I'm not suggesting that they have tog o
through the process just to make them do it, I just am afraid legally and that's why I
wanted the advice tonight.
Nichols: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nichols.
Nichols: What I'm struggling with is that typically when we -- when we say something --
when we send something back for another application, it's usually because there has
been some substantial change in the proposal in the way of the Conditional Use or the
Preliminary Plat. The layout, something that's specific to -- to the issue, where here the
difference is which parcels. The zoning stays the same, but it's just simply the legal
description of the parcels that are seeking to be annexed. The annexation itself doesn't
require the hearing, it's the zoning that does, and so that's what I'm struggling with is
typically when we have got something we say it's a substantial change, it's because it
affects the layout. It may affect where, you know, the access is made onto the public
streets, the collectors or the arterials, and that really doesn't apply here, so I'm
struggling with whether this constitutes the type of substantial change that would require
a new application. I'm just not sure.
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I guess the part that -- to me that makes it not necessary for a new application is
because what they are really doing is what we have asked them to do. We asked them
to give us a concept plan. I mean if we can overcome the legal description by
amending it and if we need to give new notice further out, I mean I think we can do that.
I guess I would hate to send a message that if you did what we asked you to do, you
have to start all over again, because that's, really, all they have done. They took out the
part that they couldn't make fit and now they have asked us to look at all the rest of it
and have tried to bring it in as a conceptual plan. I guess to me that's all the more
reason that it's really an amended application, more than a new application, because
they are, really, just following more what our directive was to begin with, so --

Page 47 of 76
Powell: Given Council's comments and counsel on the end, perhaps, then, the best
thing to do is just grant the applicant's request for the deferral at this time and, then, we
will bring up the subject of a concept plan. At that point it would be more appropriate to
have it -- I just wanted to bring it up tonight more in reference to if we sent them back
through the process, so --
De Weerd: Okay. Well, I do see there are people out here. If there is anyone who
would like to testify tonight, you certainly have the ability to do so. Is there anyone who
would like to provide testimony? Okay. Is the testimony you provide tonight the truth,
the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Ruwe: Yes.
De Weerd: Thank you. Please state your name and address.
Ruwe: Janet Ruwe, 2935 North Eagle Road.
De Weerd: I'm sorry I messed your name up.
Ruwe: Oh, that's all right. Everybody does.
De Weerd: Well, mine, too, so --
Ruwe: First of all, at one of the last Council meetings I erred in saying that Sue and
Tom Davis were opposed to the Carol Subdivision, when, in fact, they were opposed to
the development of Carol Subdivision as a mobile home park, so I erred in saying that,
so I just want to set the record straight on that. That little sliver as --Jack Crane in the
assessor's office in Boise and we spent a good deal of time with him last week, because
this error in -- he said it was signed off by Elgin Gray, who he thinks was a realtor in this
area. In those days when property was sold you didn't have to have a state licensed
surveyor and basically that's what happened, they went off of an old fence post in the
back of my property, instead of the deeded property line. It's just a matter of getting this
cleared up through a -- get the right word -- it's called a property line adjustment. It's
been really a gray area. We have been paying taxes on this and I have been and Greg
Eagy has been and we just have to straighten the whole thing out. It's the same land,
it's just that it -- and, actually, I think the meters and bounds are the same, but they just
got misconstrued over -- well, I think it's a very gray area, but we are all working on it
together and it will get resolved.
De Weerd: Okay.
Ruwe: Okay, and I think we did come up with a pretty good, you know, plan of what we
plan to do here, and we are trying to follow your suggestions and do the best we can.
Thank you for listening to us.
De Weerd: Thank you.

Bird: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Mrs. Ruwe -- Ruwe. I butchered it.
Ruwe: It's Ruwe. But that's okay.
Bird: Anyway -- now you have got the county redoing the property line and stuff?
Ruwe: Yes.
Bird: Because we can't annex you until -- did they say how long that would be, so we
can continue this?
Ruwe: My surveyor is Bob Nelson and Greg Eagy has Connelly Marks and they are
working together on it with the county assessor's office, so --
Bird: Have you got any idea how long? Because we can't -- we can't annex it until that's
all --
Ruwe: And I don't think it's going to take too long. I mean I would say a month on the
outside, but they didn't seem to think it was too difficult to get it together, now that they
found the error and it happened about 1957.
Bird: So, if we continue this to the 9`h of December, we would be -- we would probably
be all right?
Ruwe: I believe we would be all right, because we are already working on the -- if all
the different agencies know about it. It's just getting it all coordinated.
Powell: President de Weerd?
De Weerd: Yes. Anna.
Powell: Members ofthe Council, there is -- for the applicant's edification, they also
need to apply with the development services department fora property boundary
adjustment application once you get your surveying done. They would be the -- kind of
the -- my counterpart at the county and their standard frame -- time frame is to have
those type of applications done within a month, but it usually takes just about the full
month, so once you get that application in, I would count on at least another full month.
I suppose I bring this up -- I think it's optimistic that you will be ready by December 9`h is
all.
Ruwe: Okay so, shall we --
Meridian City Council
November 5, 2003
Page 49 of 76
Nary: I think you're going to need two months, realistically so, that you don't have to
continue it again.
Ruwe: So, shall we say two months? What if it gets ready early? Can we request a
meeting earlier than that or do we just get on the agenda for two months?
Bird: We have to do it by January 6th, because it's old Council business and the 6th is
when we -- isn't it? January 6th is when we change. We got to do it on January 6`h or --
Ruwe: At the latest.
Bird: At the latest. We have to get this done and you do have to go through -- like Anna
said. there is some other --
Ruwe: And I'll talk with Anna and get the name of that agency. I didn't write that down.
Bird: Oh, I'm sure Billy Ray can help you out on that. He knows what --
Ruwe: And I appreciate this. I mean this is just a crazy thing that came up. We
thought it was solved and it just -- out of the woodwork it just seemed to come up. I
mean I thought I owned it. I mean I do own the property, it's just -- it's mine, it's just a
crazy thing how it got -- I mean it took a long time to find it, but now that we found it,
they said the battle is over.
Bird: Is that little --
Ruwe: Mostly.
Bird: Is that little sliver on your tax roll?
Ruwe: Yes. Well, he called it a sliver. I didn't. That's what Jack calls a sliver.
De Weerd: Mr. Nichols, did you have something?
Nichols: Madam President, I'm a little -- Anna, with the addition of the concept plan -- I
mean it is literally w hat the Council asked that they do, but I'm wondering about the
Carol Subdivision residents, particularly with amulti-family residential concept adjacent
to that property in terms of soliciting public input, so we may need an additional mailing
with some language about the concept plan, just -- that way we don't have notice issues
with somebody, even though we continued the hearing, brought it up, talked about it,
told people when it's going to be, but just the potential additional notice by mail, so that
it's out on the table and we don't have someone saying that they never heard about it.
Ruwe: I think that's very wise.
Meridian City Council

Bird: Good idea.
De Weerd: I guess that would open up something else as to how the access out onto
Eagle Road is going to happen and with those kind of road trips or car trips, you know --
Ruwe: I might address that a little bit on my property. I did talk to the transportation
department just last week and they feel that I'm -- my property there is far enough away
from the corner. They said the Eagy property -- they are the ones with more of a
concern and they said that my property -- they didn't think it was going to be a problem.
I, actually, had two accesses already onto Eagle Road and they didn't -- I mean I
wouldn't be getting anymore and they didn't seem to think that was going to be a
problem. I mean it hasn't been gone through any process.
Bird: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Does Jack and Lyle's property up there in the corner, does it still -- do they still --
they d on't have a ny e xit o nto E ogle Road now, d o t hey? S ee, t hat's s o c lose to t he
corner, I --
Ruwe: You mean Kennevick Cobbs there?
Bird: Yes. I don't recall any -- they don't have any, do they?
Ruwe: I'm not sure if the little yellow rental house is his or on the next property.
Bird: Are they going to allow that to be that close? This is something Billy Ray is
probably going to have to answer, but -- I mean you're not talking about a quarter of a
mile away from the corner, if that.
Nary: We are getting a little far a field.
Bird: What?
Nary: Aren't we getting a little far a field from discussing of continuing it?
Bird: Yeah. We are.
De Weerd: Yes. We are only looking at continuing it based on some of these legal
discussions -- or the legal description, the property boundary adjustment, and, then,
come back and start discussion on that conceptual plan. Is that the plan? Okay. Thank
you. Is the testimony you provide tonight the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the
truth, so help you God?
Thurston: Yes, it is.
Meridian City Council

Page 51 of 76
De Weerd: Please state your name and address
Thurston: My name is David Thurston. I live at 1.470 Leslie Way. I'm one of the five
property owners that -- on the west side there. I got a couple questions and I just need
some clarification. The conceptual plan shows multi-family residence. Does that follow
under commercial -- the proposed commerciaj zone? Does that fall into that?
Commercial general. '~
De Weerd: Yes. I believe it did. Under the mixed-ruse designations.
Thurston: Because the request is for a -- I think GG. Does multi-family residential fall
under C-G? I
De Weerd: No.
Bird: No, it doesn't.
Powell: Pardon me for interrupting. Madam President, Members of the Council, as you
will recall, one of staff's primary concerns with thel, straight commercial zoning was that
the Comprehensive Plan specifically points out the need for residential uses in these
areas along the major transportation corridors. i, That is something that staff had
specifically said they were looking for in the concept plan. I'm trying to multi-task and
find the schedule of use tables, which I'm --
De Weerd: So, Anna, you're suggesting that this is, a mass transportation corridor?
Powell: A large transportation -- it's a major transportation corridor. I'm sorry if I said
mass. I should have said major. !i
De Weerd: Okay.
Powell: Eagle Road. Apartments are not allowed iin a C-G zone, so they would have to
be done as part of the Planned Development, the 20 percent use exception.
De Weerd: So, the request of C-G would not be
Powell: It would with a Planned Development anc

elopment, that we would be looking

De Weerd: But the request is not for a Planned Development.
Meridian City Council
November 5, 2003
Page 52 of 76
Powell: Not at this time.
De Weerd: Okay. Good question.
Thurston: So, I'm just wondering if the application is for a rezone into C-G, how do we --
who does -- of course, you can figure that all yourselves how to make that work.
Originally, when we went before the Planning and Zoning Committee with this, there
was talk about because Leslie Way is -- well, low residential, a transition should also be
in the low residential and not in the high residential. One of the requests of the
conceptual plan was how -- what was the transitional uses going to be. Also, one of the
other questions for the conceptual plan, what are the accesses, not only for the RuNe
property, but for other properties and also the connection, possibly, to the property,
which is to the south. I guess there should be some consideration for that property,
because right now there is no access for that property. I'm the only property owner
that's on the west side of this property here tonight, because the others were under the
impression this would be continued as it is. We definitely would like to have the
opportunity to speak to -- if this is a conceptual plan that is going to be worthy of the
Council's consideration. We definitely want to be able to speak to this conceptual plan,
because I know there will tremendous opposition to a multiple family dwellings next to
the property line there, especially since we are already lower light residential in that
entire area. We'd definitely like to have that opportunity to speak to that.
De Weerd: Well, thank you, Mr. Thurston. I think your points are well taken, that it does
show s ome o f t he a ccesses, b ut i t w ould b e i mportant t o s how a t ransition a nd t hat
testimony will be when we continue it, so there is more information at that point, too.
Thurston: One more question. Three hundred feet from where the proposed multi-
family dwelling is proposed, how far over is 300 feet. Does that hit all -- everybody on
the other side of Leslie Way, on the west side of Leslie?
Bird: How large is your lots?
Thurston: I don't know. Almost an acre.
De Weerd: Well, they are probably deep enough, but, then, the road is wide enough, it
may not go across the street. Does it? No?
Berg: I think it does.
Bird: Yes. I think it would.
Thurston: It's about a football field I know that.
Bird: No.

Meridian City Council

De Weerd: Okay. Mr. Clerk is not being taken on public testimony. Please use your
mike.
Powell: Madam President, I have the 300-foot list. I can clarify what was included. It
did not include -- it did not cross the road. It went to here and it comes across through
that lot and, then, over to the backside of these lots. It did not -- it did not include these
properties on the west side of the lane.
De Weerd: Why?
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary
Nary: It seems like we are getting a little far a field again, because we are talking about
this concept plan that hasn't even been presented to us yet. One of the things I guess I
want to ask Mr. Nichols before we continue this matter, I think Mr. Bird raises a valid
point, that we have this whole business, but we have sort of a strange situation here.
We have a new Council in eight weeks. Half of this Council will be new. We have this
concept plan which hasn't been presented and can't even be presented to us until these
people can actually be annexed into the city, which might take six to eight weeks from
now before we can even have it. Legally, should we set this whole matter into January
and hear it then? Because it doesn't make much sense to try to hear this in December
and if we -- or even on January 6fh, because if we try to approve it, we will have findings
that won't come until a new Council is here and they can't vote on it and half the Council
is only able to approve it. It only makes sense to me, I think, and that's why I'm asking
Mr. Nichols, that we set all of this into January. I recognize it's a delay for these
property owners, but -- I mean some of it's -- you know, part of the reason is because of
this little sliver of property and the delay in that. It just doesn't seem to make much
sense for us to try to even shoe horn this in on the 6fh of January or a special meeting
on the 30th of December. I think Mr. Thurston has raised some points that need to be
addressed and Mr. Strite should have the right to address them first and he hasn't had
the opportunity, because we are really only talking about continuing it, so --
Thurston: The reason why I asked the question about the 300 feet was to make sure
that there is notification given to those people on the other side of the street, to make
sure they have the opportunity to respond.
Nary: Absolutely.
Thurston: I really wonder about those 300 feet, though. That --
Powell: Just call me blond today. It does go across the street. I'm sorry. I was reading
the map incorrectly.
De Weerd: What does being blond have to do with it?
Meridian City Council
November 5, 2003
Page 54 of 76
Powell: Oh. Excuse me.
Nary: Blond. She meant blind.
Powell: That was it.
De Weerd: Mr. Nichols, do you have a question?
Nichols: Madam President, Members of the Council, even if it didn't go across the
street, you have the flexibility under the code and state statute to expand the notice, if
it's appropriate to do so. For future reference, if we have something where the 300 feet
falls six inches sort of the boundary line on the far side of the street, we have the ability
to say it makes sense to add those folks and by looking at a map do that. With regard
to the continuance, just a couple things to point out anything this time of year you're
going to run into Thanksgiving week, so that you blow about three days that week. I
mean they are gone, because the folks that you may need to deal with at Development
Services may have saved up their vacation or whatever on the boundary line
adjustment and, then, you have got New Years and Christmas in there and so it just
compresses the number of work days that are available to get things done anyway.
Even when you look at two months, that's an optimistic two months. Continuing into
January for the new Council to review, they can review the minutes of the first portion of
the hearing and, then, go from there. I would recommend that it be continued to date in
January, which the new Council can review and consider it and that should match about
the time necessary for Mrs. Ruwe and the Eagy's to complete the property boundary
adjustment process with Development Services, which also works with the assessor's
office.
Bird: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I would suggest, then, at that point let's go to January 20`h. That's two weeks
passed the swearing in. That gives the new -- two new members a chance to -- two
weeks to look it over.
Nary: That's very generous. No one said this job would be easy, but --
Bird: What?
Nary: I said that's very generous. No one said this job was easy. Give them two
weeks. but --
Bird: Well, I'd hope they'd give me two weeks.
De Weerd: Yes. Okay. Thank you, Mr. Thurston.

Thurston: Thank you very much.
De Weerd: We do have a Public Hearing here that will be continued, but is there
anyone else who would like to provide testimony? Okay. The applicant, Mr. Strite,
would you like to provide any comment? You will have to be sworn at first. Okay. Is the
testimony you provide tonight the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so
help you God?
Strite: Yes, it is.
De Weerd: Please state your name and address.
Strite: Billy Ray Strite. For the record, 1010 Allante, Boise, Idaho. I'm here, along with
Janet Ruwe, obviously. I think there have been a lot of comments made. I think
Councilman Nary hit it on the head and also Councilman Bird. I would think that the
January 20th would probably the earliest. I, in fact, agree with Mr. Nichols, that to get all
these legalities out of the way, dealing with the county, their present record -- well, I
shouldn't say it that way. Their present timing has not been exactly the most expedient
I'll put it that way. It would be my guess that January 20`h would be the earliest that we
could comply with the documentation necessary to proceed and, again, without being
repetitive, the whole issue tonight is the deferral. We certainly agree to that deferral and
would ask that we be placed on that agenda for January 20`h and that's all I have to
offer.
De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. Any questions? Okay. Thank you.
Strite: Thank you.
De Weerd: Okay. Council?
Bird: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I would move that we continue the Public Hearing AZ 03-018 and Public Hearing
AZ 03-022, which is a request for annexation and zoning of 43.86 +/- acres from RT to
C-G zones for Kissler, Cobbs, Eagy, and Ruwe, by BRS Architects. Also, the request
for annexation and zoning for five acres from R-2 to C-G zones for Kissler Dealy Parcel
by BRS Architects and before somebody seconds that I got a question in my deal. Well,
we pulled -- Eagy has been pulled, so how do we -- how do we continue -- it's still on the
application, but he is pulled, and so I have got a question for the legal -- poor old Mr.
Nichols is earning his money today.

Nichols: Madam President, Members of the Council, the title on the agenda is not
determinative of the issue and so we can continue to include Mr. Eagy's name on the
parcel, recognizing that he's withdrawn his consent to the annexation for those parcels.
Bird: Thank you. Then, my motion is done.
Nary: And I would second it. I just had a comment, too, Madam President.
De Weerd: You sure make this record a challenge too, I'm sure.
Nary: I like to make Mr. Willis earn his money, too. Also, too, Ithink -- I think what we
have expressed that some amended application and we certainly have had formerly
known as designations for titles, so I think we will be okay on having a --
Bird: I was just scared that without you guys -- that without the legal opinion of Mr.
Nichols that maybe we are forwarding something that isn't legal anymore when you
have --when you have an applicant withdrawal.
De Weerd: Okay.
Bird: But that answered it, so we are okay.
De Weerd: Any further discussion? Okay. It's been moved and seconded to continue
Items 16 and 17 to January 20, 2004. All those in favor say aye. All ayes. Motion
carries.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
Berg: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Berg.
Berg: If I could just ask for clarification and direction. I'm sending out a complimentary
additional notice with the concept plan for the Public Hearing on January 20th. Is there
anything that needs to be added to that concept plan or is that --
De Weerd: You may want to get with Mr. Strite and see if there is anything that they are
going to add before you send it out.
Berg: Okay because we talked about access points and a few other things. I just
wanted to make it --
De Weerd: Mr. Nichols?
Nichols: Yes. Madam President, Members of the Council, I think it also needs to
clearly indicate that the Eagy parcel is out and has been withdrawn.
