Conditional Use Permit (CUP) Approval to Modify a Previously Approved Conceptual CUP for a Planned Developmem (PD), Including 108,107 Square- Feet of Non-Residential Buildings on 15.8 Acres in a C-G Zone, by David Waldron (File No. CUP-03-066). We have reviewed the above referenced submittals and offer the following comments, as conditions of approval. These conditions shall be considered in full, unless expressly modified or deleted by motion of the Meridian City Council: APPLICATIONS SUMMARY The Applicant, David Waldron, has applied for Preliminary Plat (PP) and Conditional Use Permit/Planned Development (CUP/PD) approval of eleven buildable lots and one other/common lot on 15.8 acres of C-G zoned property. Within the eleven buildable lots, the Applicant is requesting conceptual CUP approval of 43,070 square-feet of office space, 33,912 square-feet of commercial space, 6,000 square-feet of retaiUservice space, and 25,125 square- feet for self storage units. The site is located on the northeast comer of Franklin Road and Nola Road. The Comprehensive Plan designates this site as "Commercial." In 2001, the City approved a request for annexation and zoning of this site to C-G (General Retail and Service Commercial District). Concurrent with the annexation and zoning, a 3-lot commercial subdivision application was processed. This commercial subdivision, Sparrowhawk Subdivision, recorded in 2003. In 2002, the City approved the Foothills Apartments (CUP-OZ- 001), a 54-unit multi-family development on Lot 1, Block 1, of Sparrowhawk Subdivision. The apartment complex was approved using a 20% use exception as allowed by Meridian City Code. Along with the apartment complex, CUP-02-001 also included a request for conceptual approval of 12 commercial buildings containing 134,760 square feet of retail, warehouse, and office uses rP~w.n. cue-03.oss sy~owmwl~ae.cw.aao Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council P&Z Hearing Date: February 5, 2004 Page 2 on Lots 2 and 3, Block 1. Some of the conceptual uses that were proposed included: a convenience store, car wash, gymnastic center, bank, and restaurants. The subject applications propose to modify CUP-02-001. As part of the PD the Applicam is requesting to defer construction of the required 35-foot landscape buffer along Franklin Road until final site excavation is underway. The Applicant is also requesting Alternative Compliance to the required landscape buffer along the north property line. See Special Consideration "A" in the Conditional Use Permit section of this report for detailed analysis of this request. The Applicant is proposing to construct picnic benches within the Landscape areas, just off the entries as amenities for the PD. See Special Considerations "B" in the Conditional Use Permit section of this report for a detailed analysis of the proposed amenities and the design thereof. The subject applications (PP and CUP) were submitted concurrently to the Planning & Zoning Department for review. Staff has provided a detailed analysis and recommended conditions of approval for the requested preliminary plat and conditional use permit applications below. Staff recommends approval of the subject preliminary plat (PP-03-043) and conditional use permit (CUP-03-066) with the conditions outlined in this repor& LOCATION The subject site is located on the northeast comer of Franklin Road and Nola Road, within Section 8, Township 3 North, Range 1 East. SURROUNDING PROPERTIES North -Locust Grove Industrial Park, caned I-L. Some of the existing businesses include Tyco, NW Machine & Manufacturing, ABCO and the MSD Central Receiving Building. These lots are currernly separated from the subject parcel by a combination of barb wire and chain link fences. South -Greenhill Estates Subdivision, zoned Rl (Ada County} /Self storage units, zoned C-G / Single-family residence, zoned RUT (Ada Coumy). East -Foothills Apartments, zoned C-G West -Single-family residence, zoned RUT (Ada Courny}(northwest comer of the site) ~! Vaeant, zoned C-G (across Nola Road) OWNER OF RECORD The property owner of record is Dee R. Lynn, who has provided notarized consent for David Waldron, to submit the subject applications. PRELINIINARY PLAT ANALYSIS ~-0~~~r~~ ~ertowbawkPP.CUP.duc Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council P&Z Hearing Date: February 5, 2004 Page 3 Meridian City Code (MCC) 12-3-3 J.2 and 12-3-5 D read as follows: "In determining the acceptance of a proposed subdivision, the Cammission/Council shall consider the objectives of this title and at least the following: A. The conformance of the subdivision with the Comprehensive Development Plan; The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designates the land to be "Commercial." In Chapter VII of the Comprehensive Plan, "Commercial" areas are amicipated to provide a full range of commercial and retail to serve area residents and visitors. Uses may include retail, wholesale, service and office uses, multi-family residemial, as well as appropriate public uses such as government offices. Staff finds that the proposed commercial subdivision, with anticipated uses to include: office, retail, self-storage, and other commercial services, is harmonious with and in accordance with the 2002 Comprehensive Plan. B. The availability of public services to accommodate the proposed development; If approved, the developer will be financing the extension of sewer, water, utilities and irrigation services needed to serve the project. The primary public costs to serve the future residents will be fine and police services. On January 9, 2004, a joint agency/department comments meeting was held with representatives of key service providers to this property. See detailed conditions from these agencies at the end of this report. Staff finds that public services can be made available to accommodate the proposed development. The Commission and Council should reference any written and/or verbal testimony submitted by the Meridian Police and Fire Departments regarding their ability to adequately service this project. C. The eontinuity of the proposed development with the capital improvement program; Because the developer is required to install sewer, water, utilities and irrigation, for the development at their cost, staff finds that the subdivision will not conflict with the capital improvement program. D. The public t"mancial capability of supporting services for the proposed development; Staff finds that the City and its related services are capable of servicing the proposed development. The development will not require major expenditures for providing supporting services. Staff recommends that the Commission and Council consider the Meridian Police, Parks, and Fire Departments' comments with regard to their capability to serve the proposed development. PP-m-on. cve.o;.oss Spmowhawk.PP.CUP.doc Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council P&Z Hearing Date: February 5, 2004 Page 4 E. The other health, safety or environmental problems that may be brought to the Commission's attention. Staff finds that there should not be any health, safety or enwironmental problems associated with this subdivision that should be brought to the Council or Commission's atenton. ACRD considers road safety issues in their analysis; no hazardous natural features have been identified on the site. Staff finds the Commission and Council should rely on any public testimony that may be presented to determine whether the proposed use may cause health, safety or environmental problems of which staff is unaware. SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS-PRELIlI'IINARY PLAT A. Landscape Buffers: Land-Use Buffers: Meridian City Code 12-13-12-4 requires a 20-foot wide landscape buffer between C-G property (e.g.- storage units) and many of the uses in the I-L zone. Meridian City Code 12-13-12-2 requires the land use buffer to be provided by the higher intensity use and to be located on the building site of the higher intensity use. If a lower intensity use is proposed adjacem to an existing higher intensity use with no buffer, the lower intensity use must provide the required buffer (MCC 12-13-12-2). As allowed in MCC 12-13-18, the Applicant is proposing an alternative to the standard 20-foot wide landscape buffer between the subject site and the industrial uses to the north. See Special Consideration "A" in the Conditional Use Permit section below for analysis. As a condition of approval for the annexation and zoning of this site in 2001, the Applicant was required to enter into a development agreement with the City. Included in said development agreemer was a requiremei-t that a 25-foot wide landscape buffer be provided abutting the residence to the northwest. A 25-foot wide landscape easement was provided around the existing single-family to the northwest of the site with the platting of Sparrowhawk Subdivision No. 1. As of the print deadline for this report, landscape materials within the easement around the single-family home have not been installed. The Applicant should be required to install landscape materials in accordance with Meridian City Code within the 25-foot wide landscape easemenrt. See Site Specific Condition #2 below. - Street Buffer: With the platting of Sparrowhawk Subdivision No.l, a 41-foot wide landscape easement was provided along Franklin Road, an arterial roadway. Also with the platting of Sparrowhawk Subdivision No. 1, a 10-foot wide landscape easement was provided along Nola Road, a locaUcommercial roadway. MCC 12-13-10-6 requires street buffers to be planted with trees and shrubs, lawn, or other vegetative groundcover, with a minimum density of one tree per 35 linear feet. The Applicant should be required to constnact a 10-foot wide landscape buffer on Nola Road in accordance with MCC12-13- 10.6. NOTE: This section of Nola Road is designated on the Comprehensive Plan to have a multi-use pathway. Staff is recommending that the pathway not be constructed on this ~v-0.som, am-ow~c sy~o.~mawx.sr.cura« Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council P&Z Hearing Date: February 5, 2004 Page 5 side (east side) of Nola Road. See Special Consideration `B" below for detailed information. Within the 41-foot wide easement adjacent to Franklin Road, the Applicant will be required to construct (or road trust with ACHD) a 5-foot wide detached sidewalk, with the rest of the buffer being improved with landscape materials. See CUP Special Consideration "A" for more information on the timing for construction of said landscaping & sidewalk on Franklin Road. B. Multi-Use Pathwav: On the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map, amulti-use pathway is shown adjacent to Nola Road. Staff is recommending that the pathway not be constructed on the east side of Nola Road, abutting this site. If a muhi-use pathway is constructed on Nola Road, as shown on the Comprehensive Plan, it should be on the west side of the street because most of the parcels on this side of the street are undeveloped. Staff anticipates that the parcels on the west side of Nola Road will be developed in the near future, at which amuhi-use pathway requirement should be imposed on those applicants. Instead of a multi-use pathway, the subject Applicant should be required to construct a 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk on Nola Road adjacent to the site. See Site Specific Condition #3 below. NOTE: With the completion of the Locust Grove Road extension project, ACHD will be constructing cul-de-sacs on both ends of Nola Road prior to it crossing the railroad tracks because the Union Pacific Railroad has a policy of "no new net crossings." Planning and Parks staff will be working with the raikoad company and ACRD on designing a pedestrian crossing of the tracks, whether it be on Nola Road as shown on the Comprehensive Plan or in another location in the area. C. Cross-Access/Parkine: The Applicant has provided ample parking for the proposed uses on site. Based on the proposed square footage of the uses, 162 parking stalls are required. The submitted site plan shows 323 stalls. The Applicant is proposing three access points onto Franklin Road and one access point onto Nola Road to serve the development. ACRD staff has reviewed the access points for compliance with policy (see AC)•ID report). The three access points to Franklin Road connect the future office and commercial uses with the existing Foothills Apartments. The Applicant has told staff that the cross access agreement for the shared driveway along the east side of this site has already been executed. Due to topography constraints, the retail service driveway {Lot 1) on the comer of Nola Road and Franklin Road does not connect with the commercial and office portions of this development. Because all of the lots within the development, and the apartment complex to the east, share access points, drive-aisles and parking, the Applicant should be required to record a cross parking/cross access agreement for the office and commercial lots. See Site Specific Condition #4 below. D. Landscape Plan: The submitted landscape plan showing landscaping adjacem to Nola Road and Franklin Road, prepared by The Land Group, Inc., and dated 11-21-O1 is PP-010Y~ CUP-03-0fi6 S~oaLswk.PP.CUP.doc Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council P&Z Hearing Date: February 5, 2004 Page 6 approved. This landscape plan is consistent with the landscape plan approved with Sparrowhawk Subdivision #1, which the City currently holds a surety for. Existing Trees: Any tree over 4" in caliper that is removed from the property shall be replaced by installing additional trees, being the equivalent number of caliper inches of trees that were removed. Required landscaping trees will not be considered as replacement trees for those trees that are removed. Fencine: A minimum 6-foot fence shall be required around the perimeter of the subdivision unless the City agrees in writing that such a fence is not required. All fencing shall be installed in accordance with MCC 12-4-10. The Applicant is proposing to construct an 8-foot chain link fence with slats along the north property line and an 8-foot retaining wall around the storage units on Lot 5. MCC 12-4-10.I allows 8-foot tall fences in the GG zone. A detailed fencing plan should be submitted upon application of the final plat (MCC 12-4-10.F.3). E. Pressure Lrigation: Underground year-round pressurized imgation must be provided to all lots within this development (MCC 12-5-2.I~. The City of Meridian requires that pressurized irrigation systems be supplied by a year-round source of water (MCC 12-13- 8.3). The Applicant shall be required to utilize any existing surface or well water for the primary source. If a surface or well source is not available, asingle-point connection to the culinary water system shall be required. If a single-poirn connection is utilized, the developer shall be responsible for the payment of assessments for the common areas prior to signature on the final plat by the City Engineer. The Applicant has indicated that Dee R Lynn will own and operate the pressurized irrigation system within this development. Since the developer is David Waldron, staff is unclear about the details of this ownership. A draft copy of the pressurized irrigation system O&M manual must be submitted prior to plan approval. SITE SPECIrIC CONDITIOPiS-PRELIl~IINARY PLAT All conditions of the previously approved Annexation/Zoning (AZ-00-024j, Development Agreement, Sparrowhawk Subdivision #1, Conceptual Conditional Use Permit (CUP-02-001), and the current Conditional Use Permit (CUP-03-066) application shall also be considered conditions of the Preliminary Plat (PP-03-043). Because this site consists of two legal lots of record, the Applicant shall be allowed to pull one building permit for Lot 2 and one building permit for Lot 3, Sparrowhawk Subdivision #1, prior to recordation of Sparrowhawk Subdivision #2, if separate CUP approval is obtained for the buildings. 2. Install landscape materials within the 25-foot wide platted landscape easement adjacent to the existing single-family home in accordance with MCC 12-13-12. Said landscaping shall be reflected on the landscape plan submitted with the final plat. Either road trust with ACHD for the required sidewalk on Franklin Road, or construct a 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk on Franklin Road abutting the site. Construct a 5-foot wide PP-03.0[t.

A detailed fencing plan shall be submitted upon application of the final plat (MCC 12-4- 10.F.3). Aminimum 6-foot fence shall be required around the perimeter of the subdivision unless the City agrees in writing that such a fence is not required. All fencing shall be installed in accordance with MCC 12-4-10. 7. The Applicant has indicated that the pressurized irrigation system within this development is to be owned and operated by Dee R. Lynn, however the developer is David Waldron. Staff requests clarification of this arrangement at the hearing. Underground year-round pressurized irrigation must be provided to all lots within this development (MCC 12-5-2.N). The City of Meridian requires that pressurized irrigation systems be supplied by a year-round source of water (MCC 12-13-8.3). The Applicant shall be required to utilize any existing surface or well water for the primary source.

FACTS AND FINDINGS FOR CONDITIONAL USES The Commission and Council shall review the particular facts and circumstances of each proposed conditional use in terms of the following and may approve a conditional use permit if they shall find evidence presented at the hearing(s) is adequate to establish (11-17-3): A. That the site is large enough to accommodate the proposed use and all yards, open spaces, parking, landscaping and other features as may be required by this ordinance; As part of the Planned Development (PD) the Applicant is seeking relief from the standard requirement to construct the 35-foot wide street buffer on Franklin Road prior to occupancy of any of the buildings. Further, the Applicant is requesting a modification to the standard development requirements for a land use buffer between the industrial uses to the north. See Special Consideration #1 below. Although the site is large enough to accommodate all of the features required by ordinance, the Applicant has asked, through the Planned Development, to modify specific developmem standards. Staff finds that the site is large enough to accommodate the proposed uses and all yards, open spaces, parking, landscaping and other features required by ordinance and/or by modifying the requirements through the Planned Development process. B. That the proposed ase and development plea will be harmonious with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan and in accordance with the requirements of this Ordinance; Staff finds that the proposed mixed-use subdivision is harmonious with and in accordance with the 2002 Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map, which designates the land to be "Commercial," provided the Commission and Council grant the requested planned developmem. C. That the design, construction, operation, and maintenance will be compatible with other uses in the general neighborhood and with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and that such use will not adversely change the essential character of the same area; PP-oso4 cue-o3osc Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council P&Z Hearing Date: February 5, 2004 Page 10 If the landscape buffers aze constructed as outlined in this report, staff finds that the general design, construction, operation, and maintenance should be compatible with other uses in the general neighborhood and with the existing or intended character of the area. D. That the proposed nse, if it complies with all conditions of the approval imposed, will not adversely affect other property in the vicinity; Staff does not anticipate that the proposed development will have an adverse impact on the surrounding property. However, staff recommends that the Commission and Council rely upon public testimony, staffs analysis, and other agency comments when determining if the proposed uses will adversely affect the other properties in the vicinity. E. That the proposed use will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services such as highways, street, police, and fire protection, drainage structures, refnse disposal, water, sewer or that the person responsible for the establishment of proposed eonditional use shall be able to provide adequately any such services; The Commission and Council should reference any written or verbal testimony submitted by the Meridian Police Department regarding their ability to adequately service this project. The Meridian Fire Department has submitted a list of conditions and needs in order to adequately serve the project (see attachment). Water and sanitary sewer service are proposed to be extended from mains being installed adjacent to the proposed development. On January 9, 2004, a joint agency/department comments meeting was held with representatives of key service providers to this property. See detailed conditions from these agencies at the end of this report. The ACHD is recommending, with site- specific and standards conditions, approval of the subject developmern. Please review the ACRD report for this project for additional information regarding this finding. F. That the proposed use will not create excessive additional requirements at pnblic cost for pnblic facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community; If approved, the developer will be financing the extension of sewer, water local street infrastructure, utilities and irrigation services to serve the project. The primary public costs to serve the future residents will be fire, police, school facilities and services, and the construction of a new municipal well within the proposed development. Staff finds there will not be excessive additional requiremerns at public cost and that the annexation and caning will not be detrimental to the community's economic welfare. G. That the proposed use will not involve activities or processes, materials, equipment, and conditions of operation that w~71 be detrimental to any persons, property, or general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors; ee-vsom. cur-03a~ S~owLewk.PP.CI1P.doc Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council P&Z Hearing Date: February 5, 2004 Page 11 Staff recognizes that traffic and noise will increase with the approval of this subdivision; however, staff does not believe that the amount generated will be detrimental to the general welfare of the public. Staff does not amicipate the proposed development will create excessive noise, smoke, fumes, glare, or odors. Staff finds that the proposed uses will not be detrimental to people, property or the general welfare of the area. H. That the proposed use will have vehicular approaches to the property which shall be so designed as not to create an interference with traffic on surrounding public streets; Please review the ACHD staff report for this project for information regarding this finding. L That the proposed nse will not resalt in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic or historic feature considered to be of major importance. Staff' is not aware of any natural or scenic feature(s) of major importance in the area that may be affected by the proposed. development. SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS-CONDTfIONAL USE PERMIT A. Reduced Standards: Franklin Road Landscanine: As stated earlier, the Applicarn is requesting to defer construction of the landscape buffer on Franklin Road until site excavation is underway. As part of the approval for the previous applications on this site, the landscaping on Franklin Road was to be installed prior to the City issuing an occupancy permit for any of the lots in Sparrowhawk Subdivision #1. NOTE: The City currently is holding a surety for the required landscape improvements adjacent to Franklin Road. In this instance, staff believes that deferral of the landscaping until the site is excavated will decrease the chance of damaging the landscaping when heavy machinery is operating. However, staff does not believe that the improvements should be delayed until site excavation is entirely finished. Excavation of the pad sites may take several years to be fully complete. Rather, the Applicant should be allowed 18 months to complete site grading/excavationhefore We required landscape improvements are installed adjacent to Franklin Road. This gives the Applicant a reasonable amount of time to grade the site without causing damage to the improvements. Further, it allows crews working on the Franklin Road widening project, which is scheduled for construction this year, to re- construct the street without damaging landscaping. For the reasons stated above, staff recommends that the Applicant be allowed to defer construction of the landscape buffer final plat. Further, staffrecommends that the entire landscape buffer on Franklin Road installed at the same time. This allows the trees and shrubs within the buffer to mature simultaneously and will create a uniform look. See Site Specific Condition #2 below. Northern Land-use Buffer: Meridian City Code 12-13-12-4 requires a 20-foot wide PP•-a3as3. cuPmom Spa¢aeLaak.PP.CUP.doc Planning ,4t Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council P&Z Hearing Date: February 5, 2004 Page 12 landscape buffer between C-G zoned property and many of the uses in the I-L zone. Meridian City Code 12-13-12-2 requires the land use buffer to be provided by the higher imensity use and to be located on the building site of the higher intensity use. If a lower intensity use is proposed adjacent to an existing higher intensity use with no buffer, the lower intensity use must provide the required buffer (MCC 12-13-12-2). As allowed in MCC 12-13-18, the Applicant is proposing an alternative to the standard landscape buffer between the subject site and the industrial uses to the north. On the submitted site plan, the Applicant is proposing a 1 S-foot wide landscape buffer/setback between the proposed storage units/commercial area and the north property line. Within the 15-foot setback the Applicant is proposing to construct trees and an 8-foot tall slatted, chain link fence. Staff is supportive of the proposed alternative landscape buffer width on the north side of the plat because with the on-site landscaping and fencing, and the existing off-site landscaping the intent and purpose of the land-use buffer will be achieved. Further, staff believes that storage units as a use provide a buffer between the existing industrial uses to the north and the proposed office and commercial uses to the south. For the reasons stated above, staff recommends that the Anplicant be required to construct a IS-foot wide landscape buffer rather than a 20.foot wide landscape buffer_ along the north nrop~ line. Landscape materials should be installed per MCC 12-13-12-4. See Site Specific Condition #3 below. D. Amenities: MCC 12-6 does not exempt non-residential PD's from providing amenities. It does state that "other amenities appropriate to the size and uses of the proposed development, as may be proposed by the applicant and approved by the Commission and Council," can be approved. The Applicant has submitted a PD because a condition of approval for the Foothills Apartmerns was that all future development on this site required a CUP. Staff has asked the Applicant to address the amenities requirement and the Applicant has agreed to include two picnic areas with benches and additional landscaping on site. The picnic areas are proposed just off the main entries on Lots 7 & 10. Staff also believes that the layout of the site should be considered as an amenity. They design of the building pads and drive aisles provide an aesthetically pleasing and efficient use of the property. For this reason, staff finds that the proposed physical and visual amenities meet the requirements outlined in the Planned Development section of Meridian Code and recommends approval of the amenities as proposed. The Commission and Council should review these proposed amenities and determine. if they are "appropriate to the size and uses of the proposed development" (MCC 12-6-2.3). See Site Specific Condition #4 below. D. Miscellaneous: Below are some of the design issues that staff would like the Applicant to amend on the submitted conceptual site plan. These issues should be addressed by the Applicant and reflected on the revised site plan and the future detailed CUP submittals for each lot. PP U3-0o.CVP-030fi6 Spa¢owhawk..PP.CUP.doc Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council P&Z Hearing Date: February 5, 2004 Page 13 Refuse Container Location/Desien• Sanitary Service Company (SSC) has expressed that some of the proposed dumpster locations and their design will need to be modified (see comments below). Staff recommends that the Applicant coordinate the location and design of dumpsters with SSC staff Trash enclosures must be built in the location and to the size approved by SSC. Prior to submittal of a detailed Conditional Use Permit, the Applicant should submit a revised conceptual site plan, approved by SSC, for the proposed trash enclosure location and design. All dumpster(s) must be screened in accordance with MCC 11-12-1.C. See Site Specific Condition #5 below. Circulation Design: The Applicant has shown 25-foot wide drive aisles, 5-foot wide internal planters between pazking stalls, and 19-foot long by 9-feet wide parking stalls. Staff is supportive of the overall design of the parking and drive aisles. However, there are two modifications to the proposed pazking and circulation area that staff recommends. The first recommendation is that the drive aisle and sidewalk into the office park area from the eastern driveway align (centerline to centerline) with the existing drive aisle and sidewalk into the apartment complex. This recommendation reduces the amount of possible turning conflicts by allowing motorists and pedestrians to see oncoming traffic. This recommendation is consistern with ACRD policy for new roadways and driveways on classified roadways. See Site Specific Condition #6 below. The second recommendation is that the Applicam depict handicap accessible stalls on the site plan. These stalls are referenced in the legend on the site plan, but are not shown. See Site Specific Conditions #7 below. NOTE: The proposed parking exceeds the 182 required stalls (323 proposed). MCC 12- 13-11-3 requires parking lost with more than 201 pazking stalls to provide 8% of the total azea of the interior of the parking lot with landscaping. The Applicant is exceeding the minimum requiremern for landscaping the parking areas. See Conditions #7 and #8 below for parking lot requirements. Sienaee: No signage is approved with this CUP. All signage shall be in accordance with the standards set forth in MCC 11-14. All signs will require a separate sign permit in compliance with the sign ordinance. Unless otherwise approved, no temporary signage, flags, banners or flashing signs will be permitted. See Site Specific Condition #10 below. SITE SPECIFIC CONDITIONS (ConditionR Use Permitl 1.

Idaho Meridian, ID 83842 Re: Public Comments Canceming Sparrowhawk Subdivision #2 Dear Mc Berg: JAN 2 7 2Qf3~ City of Meridian City Clerk Office I live at 120 N. Nola Road, Meridian, Idaho adjacent to Sparrowhawk Subdivision at the northwest comer. I don't have any complaints regarding the request of redesign of Sparrowhawk #2, providing my residence will stiN have the privacy that it has enjoyed. However, my concern is that my public testimony and written comments be brought forward from previous meetings regarding this parcel. I regret I will not able to attend the scheduled Planning and Zoning Meeting of February 5, 2004. I believe City Councl or Planning and Zoning agreed that the developer would be required to have ail irrigation plans approved through me. The continued operation of a community ditch known as Barker Lateral Tap 4248 is very important. It is critical drat the ditch is operational no later U~an March 15, 2004. it serves well over 100 residents and needs to remain operational throughout the intgation season. We an; on a continuous flow system. I asked at a previous hearing that City Council require the owner of Sparrowhawk Subdivision to enter into a License Agreement with the Water User Assoaation of Barker Lateral Tap 4248 prior to relocation and piping of dais ditch. I would appreciate your help in this matter. Please don't hesitate to contact me if further discussion is required. Sincerery, ~ ~°.~-- John P.

If either of these plans change the District will need to do a review on the proposed drainage site as well as the modifLCatlon of the pressure irrigation system. A delivery ditch crosses through and serves this property. It is the Barker Lateral Tap, No. 4248. The District has a tremendous amount of concern that this lateral be operational no later than the 15Lh of March. Although it is not the District's facility and we have no legal jurisdiction, I believe it is one of the few ways to insure continued operation of the entire Barker Lateral which services several hundred people upstream from this location. This facility must be able to pass approximately two hundred Flfty {250) minor inches of water at any given time. This is the only method for the District to operate this lateral and have a continuous flaw, as it is the last delivery in the system. It must be allowed to pass through and continue on to the west until it returns back into either the Evans Drain or Five-Mile Drain located to the west and north of this project. There is a water user's association known as the Barker Lateral Water User Association Tap 4248. The Water Master and Secretary for this private delivery is John P. Anderson. You may want to require the devebper to contact 1hr. Anderson te-insure that their needs are satisfied. Mr. Anderson can be contacted at 888-2557.

Welcome to Tonight's Public Hearing of the JAN 1 5 2003 Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission City of Meridian In order for the Commission to conduct the hearing in an orderly manner, the chair must recognize at~~ 'tlFg~~~lE9k or testify. The following procedures have been established for the hearing of individual applications: • The Chairman will open the public hearing for the application. • The Planning Staff will present the application in the form of a staff report. • The Commission may ask questions of the staff to clarify their understanding of the application. • The applicant will then be given the opportunity to present their proposal and respond to questions from the Commission. • Testimony will be taken in favor of, and in opposition to the application, and general comments or questions pertaining to the application will be heazd. (Please state your name and address cleazly for the record.) • The applicant will be given the opportunity for rebuttal and summarization of their testimony _ _.. _ __ • The Staff may present additional information and may respond to additional questions from the Commission. • The public testimony is concluded and the public hearing is closed. • The Commission discusses the application and motions are made. • The Commission votes on the motion of the application. Suggestions for Testifying at Public Hearings • Remember Your Obiective• If you want to persuade the Commission to vote or decide in favor of your side of the issue, it usually doesn't help your cause to anger, alienate or antagonize them. • Know the Law: Officials are not likely to make decisions in violation of city or state codes. No amount of passion, exhortation, or pleading by citizens will accomplish this. (However, Laws can be changed. If there is a bad law, organize to have it amended). • Show Your Streneth: Many neighborhood groups organize then testimony by having one or a few people speak on behalf of the group. The leader will ask those in the audience supporting the testimony to stand. This shows the Commission the amount of su ort our.testimony has without-being_repetitious: - - --- - - _ _ PP Y, _ - - • Speak to the Point: Public officials have heard hundreds of people give testimony. They are grateful when the testimony is pertinent, well organized, and directly regards the matter at hand. Long stories, lectures of philosophy or abstract complaints about generalities are usually a poor use of time, since the immediate problem is for the Commission to choose a course of action to take on a specific question. • Clearly State Your Recommendations: Don't leave the Commission wondering what it was you wanted them to do. • If You don't Wish to Sneak-Write: If written testimony is specific, to [he point, and concise, it will be given just as much attention as oral testimony. By necessity, oral testimony has time limits so that more people can speak, but written testimony has no length limitations. It may be effective to summarize your testimony orally in 3-5 minutes and then submit the details in writing. • Be Reasonable: Put yourself in the shoes of the Commission. They must balance all views, interests and proposals being made, and find the best course for serving the overall public good. While it is youe obligation to present your own interests, remember that you have legitimate competition. Be prepazed occasionally to compromise.
