Dear Sirs:

MAR 1 1 f999
ty of Meridi~
:y Clerk a.rr;,
It has come to our attention, that of the Greenhills Estates Subdivision, that the above
referenced development is now requesting that they be allowed to construct a 100 ft
high sign on Magic View Dr.
This is a HUGE sign. Does Meridian not have a sign ordinance?
In all of the applicants testimony for the last 3 plus years they have always stated that
they were only asking for signage that would be monument type or no taller that the
buildings.
We strongly object to this request as it is in direct opposition to the APPLICANT'S
testimony and promises made before the P8Z Commission and the Meridian City
Council.
They must be made, if this project survives the courts, to live up to their prior promises.
We strenuously request that this sign be denied and the applicant be made to live up to
his original promises, especially as regards to signage.
Please enter this letter into the records.
e ly yours,
Richard C. Williams

(Inaudible)
Rossman: It's a written document that constitutes an Order by the Meridian
Planning and Zoning Commission that says it is approved here by approved
basically and it recites what the Meridian City Ordinance is and what the relevant
issues leading up to that decision were.
Borup: So would you like to revise your -
De Weerd: Do I need to request Findings then?
Borup: Yes.
De Weerd: Okay, I would move that we direct the attorney 'to prepare Findings of
Facts on our accessory use permit.
Borup: Second.
MacCoy: Okay all in favor?
Smith: Don't we ask you to approve them recommending approval or denial?
Rossman: Not on accessory use. What you do is you make a motion somewhat
like Commissioner De Weerd did and just move that the accessory use be
approved and that we set this over for approval of written findings. Just like we
used to before.
Smith: So that's basically what the motion said.
Rossman: Yes. Written findings indicating approval of the accessory use. You
will review those next month and if acceptable approve thern and that will be final
action.
Smith: Aye.
MacCoy: All right we have three ayes. Thank you very much.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
ITEM NO. 14: SIGN REVIEW: CHEVRON / MCDONALD'S SIGN BY EAGLE
PARTNERS-NW CORNER OF EAGLE RD AND MAGIC VIEW:
MacCoy: All right thank you very much everybody for your comments and
moving on to item 14. We have a sign review which is not a public hearing. But
MERIDIAN PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
MARCH 9, 1999
PAGE 42
you're welcome to stay. It has to do with aChevron / McDonalds sign by Eagle
Partners. Northwest corner of Eagle Road and Magic View and staff.
Stiles: Chairman MacCoy, Commissioners, when the Eagle Partners project was
reviewed and approved, one of our comments was that detailed signage plans
must be included as part of this application for review and approval. At no time
were any plans presented. The approved site plan that they showed did clearly
indicate two locations for signage, but just by the symbols that were used on the
plan indicated more of a monument type sign than the 100 foot pylon sign they
are proposing now. I put it on the agenda for you to review to discuss what might
be the appropriate plan of action, whether we need to go to a public hearing.
This is a good example of why conditional use permits should not be approved
with no signage included as part of their application. I guess -
MacCoy: Is that it? Bruce, do you have anything to say? Okay, is the applicant
here?
De Weerd: For the record, I didn't have anything to do with this one.
MacCoy: The applicant is not here I guess. Okay do you want to come forward?
Clinger: My name is Bob Clinger. I represent the applicant. I'm with Idaho
Electric Signs, and -
Rossman: Sir, could you spell your last name?
Clinger: C-I-I-n-g-e-r. 6528 Supply Way, Boise. We submitted the application
for the sign usage a couple of weeks ago. As of last Friday, we were informed
that it would be going before the Planning and Zoning Commission without any
formal information, notice or what have you so we're a little bit inadequately
prepared so I apologize for that. Our main premise is and I've been involved in
this project ever since it's infancy and I understand the sensitive nature of the
project. We have issued sign information to the City Council on high signage
from the beginning. We never initiated a monument type signage. It was always
a freeway oriented type business and because of the sensitive project we realize
there's also legal information action pending on it. With the Planning and Zoning
Commission we understand that you're facing nothing but the city ordinances.
There appears to be no portion of your zoning ordinance which would prohibit the
signage that's been requested. As a city the sign ordinance is based on the
Uniform Sign Code. We find also there's no section of this code that would
prohibit the signage. This also been requested. It's been -~ there's numerous
signage in the city that's been allowed. 100 foot signage, N1cDonalds on
Meridian Road and just basically what our premise is at this point. The square
footage is less than what's in existence with the existing Texaco Station. We're
not asking for any electronics, flashing signs. The location of the signage at the
MERIDIAN PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
MARCH 9, 1999
PAGE 43
height we feel would be more apropos for the neighborhood. Being higher, it's
going to have less light. It's going to have more freeway exposure. Rather than
being front right on Eagle Road as far as the high rise sign. The Eagle Road
signage being proposed is a 34 foot free standing sign which we feel is
adequate. It's not excessive, it's not under signage. Let mE~ I have a blueprint.
Like I say we weren't expecting - we thought this was going to be a completely
closed session and this was what the information we were given, but this is the
signage on Eagle Road. 34 foot free standing sign modest, Chevron sign and
modest McDonalds signage. The signage on behind the property at 100 foot tall
gives the applicant modest exposure to the freeway for easir and west orientation.
Naturally the City Council has given the use permit I'm not sure the gal is use
permit to proceed with this property, but the signage with the P & Z
Commissioners to look at the ordinance itself permitting the signage is complete
modest as you can see compared to the other signage (inaudible) the freeway.
Smith: Sir, where exactly does this 100 foot sign? It's not on my site plan.
Clinger: Let me show you. Initially we were planning on thE~ high rise sign going
on the Eagle frontage. We took our - we did a complete survey east and west of
the location using the 100 foot boom truck to see where the best exposure would
be with the absence of looking at the new addition of the hospital with the Texaco
signage to be able to have adequate exposure. Here we have Eagle Road.
Right on Eagle Road here we have the 34 foot monument sign being proposed.
In the very back of the property gives us the best exposure for the 100 foot free
standing sign.
Smith: You just said 34 foot monument sign.
Clinger: (Inaudible)
Smith: So right behind the trash enclosure. The 100 foot sign is going right
behind the trash enclosure at the southwest corner of the property.
Clinger: Now if you look at it, initially we wanted it right here. If you put a 100
foot pylon right there that gives direct lighting and exposure to the residents.
Putting back farther up 100 foot up back of the trash enclosure, gives not only the
business the best advertising but it also obscures the lighting and signage from
the neighborhood.
MacCoy: Is the lighting for that internal to that sign?
Clinger: Yes, it is.
MacCoy: Okay so it just makes it glow instead of having spotlight, is that what
you're saying?
MERIDIAN PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
MARCH 9, 1999
PAGE 44
Clinger: Yes.
Rossman: Sir do you have an extra copy of the site plan you're showing the
Commission now or do you want to make that an exhibit?
Clinger: I'd be more than happy to submit our blueprints. Let me see what
have - like I say we're not really prepared basically because of the notice that's
been given to us. We really didn't feel that we had adequate notice at all.
Unless I made a phone call to the Planning and Zoning Department, we wouldn't
have been here tonight. But let me ask you this. I'd be glad to give you all the
information you requested by tomorrow morning.
Rossman: That's fine. We'll make it part of the record tomorrow if necessary.
Clinger: I believe it is submitted in our original application.
MacCoy: It's the same one?
Clinger: Pardon me?
MacCoy: What you have here is the same thing you gave to our Planning and
Zoning Department.
Clinger: Yes.
MacCoy: Okay.
Rossman: The blueprints that you're referring to?
Clinger: Well yes.
Smith: The site plan that indicates all the signage not just Half of it like we got in
our packet.
Clinger: The complete sign package, canopy signage, building signage, was
included in our application.
Smith: Which shows the 100 foot pylon sign.
De Weerd: Which application was that? Originally?
Clinger: The application that we're meeting here this eveniing.

Clinger: The original application we submitted high rise signage in several
designs that was proposed. Nothing was in discussion in what the applicant was
suggesting or what it was requesting nothing was formally submitted at that time
because what my understanding was the Council and you're probably involved in
it originally which precedes my involvement with the architects and the principals.
The signage has been discussed thoroughly. I can guarantee you that.
Borup: Some of that might have been with City Council.
De Weerd: Shari, this wasn't part of the conditional use permit that P & Z saw.
Borup: I think part-the plat we have, I think just the top part of it got cut off in
photocopying. I think that's why it didn't show the sign. Mr. Chairman, I did
have one question for the applicant while he is up.
(Inaudible)
Borup: Do you know the height of the Jackson's sign next door, is that also 100
feet, or is that-do you know what that height is?
Clinger: The Jackson sign I believe is 75 feet and probably 500 square foot, with
electronics, the flashing lights. We are not suggesting or proposing animated
electronics, just basically minimal identification for McDonallds and the Chevron
business.
Borup: Thank you.
Clinger: Would you like the site...
MacCoy: Yes we would, would you give it to our city clerk please?
Clinger: Do you have the colored designs of the sign proposed?
MacCoy: No, our are black and white.
De Weerd: Do you Shari have the colors?
Stiles: Angel has those in the file.
MacCoy: Okay, we do have them.
Clinger: Let me leave you with an extra set for your own records. Let me dig
that out and I'll bring right back.

MacCoy: This is not a public hearing, so we are not asking for anybody come
forward and make pro or con on this. Commissioners what do you want to do?
Borup: Did staff have any concern on this?
MacCoy: Yes they do. Go ahead Shari, go back and reiterate.
Stiles: I would just like to point out that there were some misstatements about
what the conditions of the conditional use permit were. It didn't merely refer to
the sign ordinance, it said there would be conditions in addition to those
contained in the sign ordinance. Commissioners can put any condition they
want, if you say there is no signage, you could require no signage. It is part of
the conditional use permit. They didn't submit any information, nothing was
approved. I think even the sign on Eagle Road is totally inappropriate. We've
limited signs on Fairview Avenue to a total height times width of 72 square feet.
This is over nine times that square footage requirement. I know it's not a
monument, but even the little Chevron and the pay part are 142 square feet. It's
huge. I don't think it's appropriate for someone to try to get freeway exposure for
a property that does not have any frontage on the freeway. RC Willey will be
coming in next, they would like to have a huge sign that you can see from the
freeway. There has got to be an end to it somewhere and there are some people
from the neighborhood here tonight and I indicated that it was not a public
hearing and they wouldn't be able to testify, but I think it's appropriate if-the
applicants representative is going to be able to testify, maybe we should have a
public hearing on this so they can modify their conditional use permit as this was
never included as part of it.
De Weerd: Well, I would agree with that, if it's-usually signage is part of a
conditional use permit, residents would have a chance to have their say during
that public hearing. I would think it would be appropriate to have their input since
they were not given the opportunity before. Unless they were at City Council.
Did I understand that this was shown to City Council?
Stiles: No.
De Weerd: No.
Smith: Nobody has seen the signage before. Shari has the architect talked to
you about specifics on what you would like to see for signage on this project, or
have they just...
Stiles: No, they have submitted a sign permit application aind that was all we
had.
De Weerd: What is the normal procedure?
MERIDIAN PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
MARCH 9, 1999
PAGE 47
Stiles: Normal procedure is if it's a condition of the conditional use permit, that
they get it approved, they get it approved first. Rather than submit for an
application.
MacCoy: The other thing is our sign committee who we used to have no longer
exists, so I've requested that it go through Planning and Zoning, it's got to have
some type of surveillance that goes on. That's the reason you are seeing this at
this point.
Stiles: I would just like to read the two sections out of the development
agreement that were included addressing signage. Section 5.1-.23 no signage
details were submitted. Detailed signage plans must be included as part of this
application for review and approval. That was never done, so we assumed there
was no signage. As 5.1.31, all signage shall be in accordance with the standards
set forth in section 11-2-415 of the City of Meridian Zoning and Development
Ordinance. No temporary signage or flashing signs shall bE, permitted.
Submission and approval of all signage plans including but not limited to pole
signs, reader boards, banners, etc. and specifically any golden arches type
signage associated with the McDonalds, and any outside signage associated
with the Chevron Gas Stations. Now, it's a little vague the Nay that's worded
there and that's where their attorney has taken liberties to think that meant there
were no conditions beyond our ordinance. It says these conditions shall be in
addition to the requirements of the Meridian Sign Ordinance. That doesn't mean
that they can just submit anything they want and we approve it as they submit it,
but that you can set any requirements you want as being consistent with the
conditional use permit and being harmonious with the neighborhood and all the
other items that you have to find in order to grant a conditional use permit.
Smith: There is also a credit union on this site, I would assume maybe
incorrectly so that they were going to have a sign too. So this isn't even a
complete sign package submittal for that. If you assume alll facilities on the site
are going to have a sign.
MacCoy: You are correct.
Smith: I understand that the gentleman from Young Electric Sign is probably
only been contracted to do the McDonalds and Chevron.
Clinger: Idaho Electric.
Smith: Idaho Electric, I'm sorry.
Clinger: Our understanding is that the credit union will only have building
signage, no free standing signs will be applied for.

MacCoy: Should've been stated then on the document then...
Clinger: I understand that's two separate parcels too. Let me ask you this, since
we are really not prepared for this meeting this evening, because of the time
concessions and notification. I was wondering if we could possibly postpone it.
Defer it to the next meeting where we could have adequate information prepared
by the clients and architects and so on and so forth. Let me ask you, I've been
here between the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council and City
Council is well aware of signage that has been proposed. Naturally, signing
permits can not be applied for and I've tried to submit signage a year ago myself,
which was not accepted because use permit has not been approved.
De Weerd: Mr. Chairman, may I ask a question?
MacCoy: Sure.
De Weerd: How was the City Council aware of this through public testimony?
Clinger: Through public testimony. We had renderings, wee had ideas, concepts,
nothing concrete, but what the applicants ideas were in signage, nothing flashing,
nothing-I think what we are submitting right now is very...
Borup: So you are saying all this testimony was prior to...
Clinger: City Council has...
Borup: So there should be minutes available for that?
Clinger: Exactly.
Borup: Do you know what month that was?
Clinger: I couldn't give you the date, but more than happy t:o-the architects and
applicant would certainly have that information.
De Weerd: Would it be-Mr. Chairman...
MacCoy: Yes.
De Weerd: Since the applicant wants to come back and have a chance to
present this, would that be appropriate to have a public hearing at that time?
MacCoy: We could it's our choice.
MERIDIAN PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
MARCH 9, 1999
PAGE 49
De Weerd: I certainly think it would be appropriate and perhaps we can have
any prior testimony available too to see what has been said.
MacCoy: Are you saying this-these go through a conditional use process?
Stiles: It should have been part of the conditional use process.
Smith: Are you saying that it is not anymore? Or that we acre...
Stiles: Well, because it was adetail-it was a condition of their development
agreement, it was a condition of the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law,
nothing was ever submitted. I think if signage were submitted and reviewed by
council, it would've been reflected in this development agreement, that yes there
were signage plans submitted. That is not what the record reflects. I think if the
applicants representative has the opportunity to come in and try and state his
case, the neighbors need to have that same opportunity.
Smith: Right, right, I want to make sure that the applicant knows exactly what he
is supposed to be applying for and that the public hearing i:> based on that. Just
that all the I's are doted and T's are crossed.
Rossman: This would be an application really for a modification of the
conditional use permit it's not and with that there is an entitlement to a public
hearing and the residents are certain. This does sound likes it's a material change
to the original conditional use permit. That process should be followed and I
don't know if that calls for a separate application process and whether it's
realistic to expect that this would come before the commission in April, I don't
know. It would have to have proper notice and the proper applications filed out
with the Planning and Zoning Staff.
MacCoy: So you are saying that timing is our problem with this one, April 13tn~
Stiles: It would be May before they could get a public hearing.
MacCoy: We are already booked for April.
Clinger: Mr. Commissioner, members of the commission, let me address one
issue. The freeway oriented sign-freeway frontage. Well, who has freeway
frontage? Jackson's Texaco does not have freeway frontage. They are not right
on the freeway. There is a Holiday Inn--there is a parcel right in front of it which
is being built that's not freeway frontage. We are asking for probably a 25%,
75% less square footage in signage than what the Texaco Station has. It's
minimal square footage, the height on it is basically to oversee the residents and
also have the exposure and advertise two business that they are representing.
We are not-to exaggerate that the furniture store on the other side of Franklin is
MERIDIAN PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION

going to have a freeway sign, is ridiculous. That's complete exaggeration. I'm
not here to argue the point, I'm here to represent the client and basically we-I
was here to take the information to see exactly what the outcome was. They
have no representation here this evening and I'm asking for a formal...
MacCoy: I understand, I think we understand what your position is and we are
looking also from the standpoint of we want some more time too, because we
have some things to consider. I don't think there is any problem with that and I
think our attorney raises a very good point that we have that position anyway so
that we can have a motion here which would then bring you back at the proper
time and we would have a public hearing out of it. So...
Smith: Before the motion is made, I would like to encourage the applicant to
meet with staff and appropriate parties to review what is being proposed and
exactly what it is that the-obviously the city has a lot of problems with this
application as submitted and I think whoever the architect is or designers of this,
that's responsible (Inaudible) signage, get together and find out what the issues
are and address them.
Clinger: I appreciate that recommendation.
MacCoy: Can we have a motion then?
Borup: I just had a couple questions that I would like to get some clarifications
on. Maybe understanding which way the city desires to go on signs.
MacCoy: You are going to be on that committee.
Borup: That's later, this is now. So we need to address this now, specifically the
sign on Eagle Road, are we looking at requiring, or encouraging the monument
sign. Does that seem to be one of the main...
MacCoy: I think you are a little bit premature because there is discussion going
on presently with the mayor...
Borup: No, I don't think I am. If the applicant is expected 'to design something,
they need to know whether we are talking a pylon or a monument sign. How can
they even present anything if there is no...
MacCoy: Who's going to say that when you've got a committee that is now being
formed that includes, will include all of you and you don't have that yet, the mayor
is involved and the council is involved and some other people are involved and
there is nobody with the same answer.
MERIDIAN PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
MARCH 9, 1999
PAGE 51
Borup: Shari is back now, maybe I could ask her, my question was which
direction are you looking at going? First of all on the Eagle Road sign, is your
desire monument sign along that location, rather than a pylon? Or no sign at all?
Let me clarify that in my mind.
MacCoy: I don't think that's a fair question for her really.
Borup: She said she was opposed to the sign.
MacCoy: She is one of several in the group, you can get her to say yea and
someone else says nay and then what are you going to say for your answer.
Clinger: Mr. Commissioner, what is the definition of a monument sign. You can
have a monument sign five foot tall, or you can have a monument sign 30 foot
tall. What is the definition of a monument sign?
MacCoy: Well, I think it's one of our discussions. What is a monument sign? A
monument sign you can go along Fairview and see examples of various sizes of
monument signs.
Clinger: That's exactly right.
MacCoy: A good example is from a different one, on that is; three feet tall, or four
foot tall versus the one at Snake River Yamaha down by Eagle and Fairview.
Clinger: That's classified as a monument sign.
MacCoy: They did a real clever thing by putting the middle of that a time and
temperature sign, which got them what they were after too. I think they skirted
the issue at the time when they did that because they were granted a smaller
monument (Inaudible). Yes there is all different types.
Clinger: On a four lane state highway, which is definitely down the road become
very much commercial, I think a 10 foot, 15 foot monument sign, quote, end
quote is completely inadequate for exposure in advertising for the business.
MacCoy: The thing hasn't been decided yet, so we were making a statement
that we often make statements sitting here, because a couple of us architects
and engineers. We understand your position very well, expect I think if we are
going to take your offer and table this thing so you get a chance to come back
and you will be fed some material before you come back anyway. So you won't
be blindsided in other words. We've got to do some homework, so I think it's fair
for both sides.
Clinger: Any other questions?
MERIDIAN PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
MARCH 9, 1999
PAGE 52
Borup: Just one other observation. I'm not sure (Inaudible;) but, the comment on
the freeway sign-I have noticed on the other one there, one Meridian Road they
referred to, when I'm driving down East 1St or East 1St, I never notice the sign, but
from the freeway I sure do. When it's up there tall enough, I think it's a lot less
intrusive in a near proximity than if it were shorter.
MacCoy: That will be a discussion we will have in our meeting.
De Weerd: Can I ask Shari a question please? Now, back to the question of
how to go about this. Do they need to file an official application to modify the
CUP or do we table this so they can give proper notification of a public hearing,
or what procedure do we follow on this?
Stiles: I was hoping that you would decide on that.
De Weerd: Do you want me to?
Stiles: Yes.
De Weerd: I would suggest that we just have a public hearing and just get on
with it.
Rossman: I think we will probably need to go through a formal application and
with proper...
(END OF TAPE)
Rossman: ...modification of a conditional use permit. Hopefully you understand
sir that these people-this is the first time this has been prE~sented, they didn't
have an opportunity to testify regarding the signage, because it really wasn't
presented to City Council, so they should be afforded the opportunity.
Smith: Modification, or completion?
Borup: That's my question, how do you modify?
Smith: They were told to submit complete sign package for review, before this
board as part of the conditional use permit so...
Rossman: And did they do it?
Stiles: No.
MERIDIAN PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
MARCH 9, 1999
PAGE 53
Borup: So is the conditional use permit being modified or are we just proceeding
ahead with it?
Rossman: That's the question, if you are just proceeding ahead then there is no
entitlement to a public hearing because it was already provided for in the prior
conditional use permit. This sounds like it rises to the level of material
modification-material change to the conditional use permit in light of the issues
involved with this particular signage.
Borup: Can this commission solicit public input even though it's not a public
hearing?
Rossman: I don't see anything in the ordinance that would Either permit or
(Inaudible)
Borup: ...information gathering, isn't it, if we wanted to ask someone out of the
audience (Inaudible).
Smith: It wouldn't be properly noticed so.
Rossman: If you want the city attorney's view point, I would prefer that we
proceed in accordance with the ordinance. So if the ordinance provides for
modification of a conditional use permit, fine, I can't really advise as to anything,
any procedures that aren't identified within the ordinance. There is no ordinance
that provides for solicitation of public input, outside of a public hearing.
De Weerd: Well, if this is a review, can't we get opinions?
Rossman: Your guess is as good as mine on that.
De Weerd: I'm not an attorney.
Rossman: I am and I'm confined by what the ordinance says. I can't (Inaudible)
beyond that.
Borup: I would have the same-I think we need more information and we need
some input. I question whether it's modification of the conditional use, or just
fulfillment of it.
Rossman: I don't have the original conditional use permit in front of me. We
can't really make that judgement from as we sit here today ar~d whether or not it
was permitted under the original conditional use permit or whether we have to go
with modification.
MERIDIAN PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
MARCH 9, 1999
PAGE 54
De Weerd: Personally I think if the only way we can get a public hearing is to say
it's a modification, then it's a modification. That's my personal thought.
Rossman: The point I was making is I don't think you are violating the ordinance
by determining that. What you are involving here is something that was not
presented at the original public hearings with regard to the conditional use
permit. The public has not had the opportunity to provide testimony regarding
that issue and it is an important issue with regard to this application. I don't think
you are stretching beyond your ordinance by requiring a modification.
MacCoy: I agree with that-I think he is right. So you can make your statement,
your motion.
Smith: I'll make it.
MacCoy: All right.
Smith: Mr. Chairman, I would like to make a motion that we table this item until
our May 11th Planning and Zoning meeting to allow modification of the conditional
use permit and to allow public testimony for the signage review for this project
Chevron, McDonalds and the Credit Union and that we encourage the applicant's
architect or designer or persons responsible for the signage ipackage to meet
with the city and discuss an appropriate design direction.
MacCoy: Is that it?
De Weerd: Second, unless you want to finish it.
MacCoy: You got a second on it. Any discussion? If not, all in favor?
MOTION CARRIED: All ayes.
Rossman: The procedure to be followed would be to sir, meE~t with the Planning
and Zoning Staff after sometime in the near future about making sure the proper
application documents are prepared and we need to ensure that the proper
notice is provided for the public hearing.
MacCoy: Okay, thank you very much. Okay, we are going to take a break at this
point it's 9:30 when we come back, we will be going into a whole list of Ada
County Development Service Agreements that we have to taN;e care of by state
code.
(BREAK)
MacCoy: We are now on Item No. 15.
