minutesMeridian Planning & Zoning Commission May 21, 2015 Page 36 of 48 H. Public Hearing: CUP 15-008 White Water Saloon by Stan Cole, Cole Architects Located 1646 N. Meridian Road Request: Conditional Use Permit for a 673 Square Foot Expansion to the Existing Drinking Establishment in a C -C Zoning District Yearsley: All right. We'd like to resume the Planning and Zoning meeting. Let's begin with public hearing of CUP 15-008, Whitewater Saloon. Let's began with the staff report. Parsons: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission. Next item before you this evening is the Whitewater Saloon conditional use permit. The subject property is located at 1646 North Meridian Road. Currently the owner of that establishment is operating a drinking establishment within the existing 1,850 square foot tenant space here and they are requesting your approval this evening to expand their business into the adjacent tenant space, which is approximately 673 square feet. You can see here on the site plan that the applicant is in a multi -tenant complex that clearly does not meet the UDC standards. I mean it's a dirty word this evening. It's nonconforming. But at some future date this property is Old Town on the future land use map and so at some point we envision this redeveloping in the future. The property this evening, though, is zoned commercial, C -C zoning district, so it is a commercial zoning district. The conditional use permit for a drinking establishment is required in the C -C zone, as well as the Old Town zone. So, if the applicant was going to come forward and -- or the property owner would come forward and redevelop that and keep this drinking establishment on the site, it would still be an allowed use in the Old Town zoning district. Because this property -- or one item that I pointed out in my staff report was that the city did approve a church within 300 feet of this drinking establishment, since -- and, however, the bar has been there previously to the church. However, in our specific use standards it does state that drinking establishments are -- are prohibited from being located within 300 feet of a church, but in looking at the state statute it's clearly defined that you have the authority to approve the conditional use permit, because the drinking establishment does predate the church use. So, that is under your purview this evening as you take this application under advisement. The applicant is not proposing any exterior modifications this evening, so what you see here is what is to remain on the site. Staff is recommending that the applicant go through a change of use or apply for a certificate of zoning compliance for change of use to establish the drinking establishment within the new tenant space. Because the site is lacking a bike facility out there for bike parking, we are recommending that they add a bike rack for the entire complex and I have also received confirmation from the applicant that the site does, in fact, have shared parking throughout the whole entire development and that was a concern that we raised in the staff report. So, I did receive a copy of the lease agreement for this development and it does state that every tenant in there has the right to shared parking or use parking, unless otherwise defined by the property owner. So, there is shared parking in place and this site is currently developed with 124 stalls. So, it is in excess of what the UDC requires. Staff has not received any written testimony on this application. We are recommending approval and I would stand for any questions you may have. Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission May 21, 2015 Page 37 of 48 Yearsley: Thank you. Are there any questions? Would the applicant like to come forward? Please state your name and address for the record. Bull: My name is Ernie Bull and I'm with C&E Construction, representing Whitewater Saloon, and we have contacted the city here and done everything that was requested by us and the highway district we have contacted them and everything was cleared with them. We have confirmation on that. And as far as parkingwise goes, parking can't be anymore than what is already -- what's already there from the -- we were already in the other unit that we are taking that's going to be part of it. There is only like five parking lots for that, because when they changed that intersection they took five parking lots away from the Whitewater Saloon already. So, we can't add to, because is all it is it's just the existing building that has already been there for I don't know how long. Forty years. I don't know. But, anyhow, there was the parking -- we are not trying to add parking, we are not building onto the building, all it is -- we are just taking over the existing unit that was already there. They stopped their lease and they moved out and we are just trying to open that up to make it just so we have room for the pool tables, make it more convenient for the patrons that come in. Not -- we are not trying to add, because we are not adding onto the bar, we are not doing nothing else. There is no adding to the bar, it's just staying just like it is. The other is just for a game room. So, it's -- do you have any questions? Yearsley: I guess are you in agreement to the staff report? Are you in agreement to the staff report? OMW Yearsley: Yes. Are there any other questions? No? Thank you Bull: Okay. Thank you. Yearsley: I do have a few people signed up. Joe Palmer. Palmer: Mr. Chairman, my name is Joe Palmer. I'm here representing 3P, LLC, which is a family corporation, which I am one of the members of. Our property starts at 1522 North Meridian Road and continues on to 1608 Meridian Road, plus one lot and it has its own separate address now that it's been developed out. The property is just south of what is proposed right now. I am a neutral testifier, even though my testimony today is going to seem somewhat negative. It's, basically, just to give you information. I would support whatever your decision is. I would not want to restrict business or plan owners in any way, but I do want to give you some information of the current situation there. Myself I am currently working with Sonya to enlarge our parking lot to the south of our building that we have. We own the lot to the south of us. It's empty, which is not part of our building. And we have built our building to the standards of the city and we have found out that it's not enough parking which we -- we went with the minimum, which is what every developer is going to do, because in order to make a property pay that's what you have to do and we have found out that we are short on parking and we have one space left in our building that is empty at this time. We have been a little reluctant to rent it out. We have had Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission May 21, 2015 Page 38 of 48 people interested in it. Because we don't want to overload our current tenants. We have eight tenants currently in our building and we have 51 parking spaces, which was the minimum for the square footage. Actually, it's a little bit more than what the minimum was. I think -- I don't remember what it was at the time. I think it's about 45 or 46. 1 have owned that property there. I lived there before we developed it and I have run a business there for the last 25 years and in that time the Whitewater Saloon has been there I believe the whole time. Or a saloon, whether it the same one or not. We have had numerous occasions where cars have been left there, not ever been recovered until I have had them towed away. They have been there. They have blocked the entrance to where I have called the police the next day and say people can't get in our businesses, they would say, well, we got to have -- we have to wait 72 hours. So, now I have it posted so that I can get them towed immediately so people can access those businesses. If you went through and listed our surveillance there has been several miscommunications on how -- where people weren't exactly getting along. The police have been -- had to come several times. There is constantly garbage in our parking lot, which I clean up. That's the way it goes as a business owner and having property there next to it. If -- I don't know if more people would come. I don't have all the information on the saloon or whether it's just an expanse of the current one. But I would stand for any questions. Yearsley: Are there any questions? Oliver: Just a quick question. Just as the -- the little center there that had the second hand shop, I believe it is, and the Rock Harbor and the barbershop -- is that the one that we are talking about? Palmer: Mr. Chairman, Commissioner, absolutely that is Oliver: All right. Palmer: Cherry's Consignment Home Furnishings -- Oliver: Cherry's. Palmer: -- is my business, which is the anchor store. And, then, there is 11,000 feet of rental space and part of it is Rock Harbor. Oliver: So, some of the people attending Whitewater are parking in your -- Palmer: Yes. That's -- it's just -- they were there first, so, you know, I hate to say they have to go away. That's not what I'm saying. But it is -- it is an issue that we deal with. We have helped people out of the parking lot several times. We have went out and helped them to solve their problems with each other. We try and not call the police if it's not necessary and we try and convince people to move on and be nice, because we have had our windows shot out a few times and I don't know where that came from. I'm not saying it came from there. But what we try to do is be as nice to Paul as we can, because Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission May 21, 2015 Page 39 of 48 -- and that was probably -- had nothing to do with them, it was probably more of my other position which I hold. We all know how that goes. Oliver: Thank you. Palmer: You bet. Yearsley: Thank you. Next on the list is Vicky Long. Please state your name and address for the record, please. Long: I'm Vicky Long. I'm the owner of the Whitewater Saloon at 2696 West Sandalwood, Meridian, Idaho. As far as his concerns are, I do my best to keep people parking -- from parking over there. I really don't like it and I'm sorry that they do. I will take care of that. My concern is -- I -- really don't have a lot of trouble out of the Whitewater, because they know I don't tolerate it. I will 86 them. They can go to any other place. I'm too old for that. I -- I'm a family bar. We are like a Cheers. And the reason I want to add on is so people can be more comfortable playing darts and not worry about sitting at a table and might get a plastic dart threw by accident. I just want to move that over. I will take care of the concerns, I guarantee you that. And hopefully you will let this go. I have worked hard to clean this place up and try to make it the way it is now. I also give my people incentives not to drive home on Friday and Saturday nights. I have them take a cab and I'm in with B&W and they are there all the time to pick up the customers so they don't drive home. And as far as parking is concerned, his church is probably -- the people is probably -- the people that go to that church also park in my parking lot on Sundays and, you know, that's something we have to share and hopefully it will work out the best. And I don't know where you expect me to put a bicycle rack. It's not a -- and I don't have a place, really, because the ACHD took all the extra space we had, so -- but thank you and I -- I hope everything goes okay. Yearsley: Thank you. Ty Bull. No comment. Ernie. Okay. Do you want to come back up and respond to Joe's comments? I know Vicky took care of a lot of those, but I will just give you an opportunity to talk again, since you were the applicant. Bull: What we have tried to do is make it the best for patrons and as far as parking goes, they come and park their rigs over in our parking spot, so it's not like -- I won't -- I have never seen one of our patrons parking in their parking spots and going over next door and parking there. They bring their vans. They leave them in the middle of the alley, which is -- you know, that's okay, because we understand how business is. You have to have patience with each other, because if you don't work together things just don't work and that's -- that's what we are trying to do, we are trying to make it so it's the best for everybody. We are not trying to make it bad. When they come over there and park their vans over in our place nobody ever says nothing. Whatever. But that's my -- that's what I'm trying to say for that part. So, it's not -- we are trying to work together and not against each other. So, thank you. Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission May 21, 2015 Page 40 of 48 Yearsley: Thank you. I apologize. I forgot to ask -- no. You're done. I -- was there anybody else that wanted to testify? Please come forward. I apologize. T.Palmer: My name is Ty Palmer. My address is 653 Fulmer Court in Meridian. Just a couple points of clarification. The property immediately south is a really skinny property. That's not property that my family owns. I don't know if they are represented here tonight. The other thing -- what was the thing? Oh, right. The church. There is a church across the street from our building as well. They have services on Sunday and the church that rents from my family's building does not have services on Sunday, they just have activities throughout the week. That's all I have. Yearsley: All right. Thank you. Do you want to address those comments? We want to give the applicant the last rebuttal. If you want to say anything you're more than welcome to comment if there is anything you -- if you don't want to come up you don't have to. Okay. All right. Sorry about the confusion with that. With that is there anybody else that wanted testify? Barring that I would entertain a motion to close the public hearing on CUP 15-008. Wilson: Mr. Chairman? Yearsley: Commissioner Wilson. Wilson: I move that we close the public hearing on CUP 15-008. Fitzgerald: Second. Yearsley: I have a motion and a second to close the public hearing. All in favor say aye. Opposed? Motion carries. MOTION CARRIED: FOUR AYES. ONE ABSENT. Yearsley: Comments? Any questions? Barring none, I -- I don't see really any issues with this. It's just expanding into the existing spot. It sounds like there is some issues, but it doesn't sound like they are insurmountable to the expansion. So, I don't -- personally don't see any issues with this and if no one else has -- Commissioner Oliver. Oliver: I just want to say that I think that if the owner of the Whitewater would work with -- them closely with the residents -- or the buildings -- Cherry's and whatnot, that would be great to work a little bit closer to be more compatible. However, noting that, I see no reason not to let you expand it. Yearsley: Right. So with that I would entertain a motion. Fitzgerald: Mr. Chairman? After taking all public testimony and comments of the Commission, I would move for approval of CUP 15-008 as stated in the staff report. Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission May 21, 2015 Page 41 of 48 Oliver: Second. Yearsley: I have a motion and a second to approve CUP 15-008. All in favor say aye. Opposed? Motion carries. Thank you. MOTION CARRIED: FOUR AYES. ONE ABSENT. Yearsley: Next on the list is the public hearing of CUP 15-007 -- Bull: I appreciate you guys spending your time listening to us. We appreciate it. Thank you. Public Hearing: CUP 15-007 Carl's Jr. at Chinden and Linder Crossing by John Nelson Located Northwest Corner of Chinden Boulevard and N. Linder Road Request: Conditional Use Permit Approval for a Drive-Thru Establishment in a C -C Zoning District Within 300 Feet of a Residential District and Existing Residence Yearsley: Thank you. We'd like to open the public hearing on CUP 15-007, Carl's Junior, and let's begin with the staff report. Parson: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission. Next item on the agenda is the Carl's Junior at Chinden and Linder Crossing, conditional use permit. It's located near the south -- or northwest corner of Linder Road and Chinden Boulevard. It's currently zoned C -C within the city. In 2014 this property was before you as -- for subdivision approval called the Chinden and Linder Crossing Subdivision. It was platted with nine commercial lots and a concept plan and development agreement was also approved subsequent with this preliminary plat, that it approved this site for a mix of commercial uses on the site in conjunction with the surrounding residential uses. The Comprehensive Plan for this property is mixed use community and at the time that this came before you the Commission and staff both found that the site was consistent with that designation. So, this drive-thru use that is before you this evening is consistent with the concept plan and that mixed use community designation. You can see here that the property is surrounded by residential development to the west and a county subdivision to the north and, then, across the street we have some commercial development in the process, some C -N and C -C. Because this project is before you this evening it is because the drive-thru is within 300 feet of the adjacent residence, which is just north of this -- of this proposed development. So, the applicant wants to develop this site with a 2,800 square foot restaurant and associated drive-thru facility. In that zoning district the applicant -- or with the drive-thru use the applicant has to comply with specific use standards in the UDC. In my staff report I did call out some modifications to the site plan that I will not go over this evening in depth, but quickly run through those for you. As you can see here the applicant will come off a right -in, right -out access from Chinden Boulevard and, then, enter the site from a commercial driveway. So, really, there are no -- there aren't any site circulation as far as stacking in the main drive aisles, but as you turn into the site and as you enter the parking area staff has some concerns with some Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission May 21, 2015 Page 42 of 48 congestion here with the way the traffic would function through the parking area. So, we have required that the applicant stripe the drive-thru lane and stripe the adjacent drive aisle one way, so that all traffic that comes in and enters this way to the first entrance into the parking area will be a one way circulation through the site. That will allow vehicles to stack up and keep congestion away from the parking area. If folks want to go into the restaurant and sit, they can certainly just drive through and come back and park this way. So, that was the primary concern. As you know with any drive-thru lane or stacking area that's over a hundred linear feet they have to provide an exit lane, which they have done here, and so if anyone comes in has to order here and doesn't have their wallet or their money, they can actually enter out here and exit out of the development. So, that does comply with the UDC standards. Staff had some concerns with how the cross -access would look with the adjacent property to the east and the application -- there is a condition of approval that they either provide an additional landscape island in this general area or get something from the adjacent property owners stating they will construct that when the property to the east is developed. Here is the proposed landscape plan. What you see here is consistent with the UDC. The applicant is actually providing a greater landscape buffer along the roadway to the north to provide a greater buffer to the adjacent single family residential, although this development is approximately 290 feet from the nearest residence. So, it's not like it's really on top of the adjacent residence, but the applicant has gone above and beyond what code requires as far as buffer along the street. Again, this site -- this landscape plan before you does comply with the UDC. I'd also mention to you that a portion of the landscape buffer along the roadway -- so with Island Drive -- with Island Green Drive here to the north and Chinden Boulevard, a portion of that was approved with the subdivision that the city acted on and that would have to be completed and the plat has to be recorded before the applicant can get a building permit for the drive-thru restaurant. The elevations before you this evening are consistent with the UDC standards and the development agreement. There are no modifications to the elevations before you this evening. Primary building materials will consist of stucco and brick veneer. Staff did not receive any written testimony on the applicant. However, I did receive a phone call from the adjacent neighbor to the north and he wanted me to go on record on his behalf stating that he has concerns with the odors from the drive-thru -- from the restaurant portion of the -- in the vicinity of his home and I told him I would pass that message along to you. Other than that verbal confirmation from the adjacent neighbors staff has not received any other testimony on this application. I haven't heard anything from the applicant on the revised changes in the staff report. I will complete my presentation with the fact that staff is recommending approval of the application before you with modifications in the staff report and I would stand for any questions you have. Yearsley: Thank you. Just for clarification, the Carl's Junior is an approved use, the only thing that we are really acting upon is the drive-thru; is that not correct? Parsons: Mr. Chairman, Members of the Council -- or Commission, that is correct. The drive-thru, because it's typically accessory to the drive -- the restaurant use, however, since they are within that 300 foot of that existing -- existing residence it triggers the conditional use permit. But, yes, the restaurant is principally a permitted use in that zoning district. Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission May 21, 2015 Page 43 of 48 Yearsley: Okay. And, then, the next one -- on that exit lane will there be a sign from the private drive saying exit only or do you know? Parsons: Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission, staff has placed a condition that this be signed -- striped one way, do not enter signs and striped one way for exit only. Yearsley: Okay. Parsons: Do not enter. So, it will be signed and taken care of appropriately to make sure no one is entering there. Yearsley: That's perfect. I wanted to make sure that that happened. Are there any questions? Fitzgerald: Mr. Chairman? Yearsley: Commissioner Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald: Bill, is it -- what Green -- or Island Green Drive, is it connecting into Spurwing? Is that -- is that part of this condition? Is that part of the -- into the new -- that goes over kind of at the end of it, kind of stubbed over right now. Is that part of the condition? Is that road going to be completed? Parsons: Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission, Commissioner Fitzgerald, it is a condition of the final plat that that road be constructed. Fitzgerald: Okay. Parsons: And that's why they can't move forward on a building permit until that improvement is done. Fitzgerald: Okay. Thank you. Yearsley: Any other questions? With that would the applicant like to come forward? Erstad: Commissioners, my name is Andy Erstad. 420 Main Street, Suite 202, in Boise. I'm here representing our client John Nelson and we have had a chance -- and Jason Smith, who is my project architect, much better looking and smarter than I, usually is up here and has been dealing with Bill a lot. Jason and I went over the conditions of approval and I was questioning a couple of -- a couple of the conditions and what we typically do, because we think with our hands and paper. We lay trace out and we -- we sort of clarified I think the intent of the conditions and, then, I had Jason send over a quick sketch to see if we were close. At the end of the day we have no -- no issues with any of the conditions of approval and we appreciate your time and we always like being last. I will stand for questions. Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission May 21, 2015 Page 44 of 48 Yearsley: Are there any questions? Thank you. Erstad: Thank you. Yearsley: I do have a few people signed up, Victor -- and I won't do the last name. My apologies. Please state your name and address for the record. Zadorozhny: Okay. I'm Victor Zadorozhny and I live at 6551 Barney Lane. Unfortunately for me, they build in there Carl's Junior just in my backyard, my property, and just behind me. And, like I said, it's unfortunately for me we have very beautiful property and now their window 200, what, 35 feet from my property and if -- as you know that the drive-thru open until midnight and if you see this plot you will have this when they driving in they just use their headlights they flash in my windows. When they driving out again they flash in my windows and consider this: it's a smell. It's a greasy smell. And, like I said, the headlights when they shining out it's hard to see from my property and back in my windows and what I'm trying to say, we are going to lose our quality of life there. They are not allowed to build in the residential area the drive-thru. I'm completely opposed and I plead my case before you. Please, don't allow them build this. Thank you very much. Yearsley: Thank you. I think it's your wife. She signed up as well. Okay. She's against it as well. Andrew Lawrence. All right. Is there anybody else that would like to testify? Would the applicant like to come forward and -- Erstad: Mr. Chair and Members of the Commission, again, Andy Erstad, 420 Main Street, Suite 202. Is it getting late or what? I appreciate the neighbor's concerns and the challenges in an adjacency exist and the development was approved in the master plan and we are developing one of the parcels on the property. I think the thing that -- that bodes well for -- I think a clear decision and a straight forward decision is the fact that the property -- the restaurant is up towards Chinden and as I told the neighbor, it's -- I used a really simple, very sophisticated scale where I take tick marks and I counted them up. Our engineer was here and confirmed that I was pretty darn close. We are about 235 feet to the property line on the north side of the street and in between that 235 feet that's from the -- the ordering window or the ordering speaker, then, you go around the restaurant and the pick up window. They are about the same distance away from the property line. But between those two events is 235 feet to the property line of the neighbor and in between there is another 25 feet buffer -- landscape buffer. You were shown that on the -- Bill put that up for review. The buffer is enhanced. It's a larger buffer than we are required. That's the imagery. And think that's -- that's done for two reasons. One, we recognize that we are adjacent to a residential neighborhood and we also recognize that the way we have oriented the drive-thru -- even if the drive-thru was oriented differently you would still have that circulation of traffic on there. So, we felt this buffer gave that a greater protection for the neighbors. The neighbor did also ask about that the -- about the trash enclosure and I'm not sure -- and I don't think I can -- that's the trash enclosure right there and, again, screened to the north was the -- was the landscape buffer and any buffer that the developer is required to put on the north side of the road. So, I think taking Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission May 21, 2015 Page 45 of 48 the distance, taking the enhanced buffer, taking the site plan and we worked closely with staff to be the best site plan possible, I think, is all sort of trying to be good neighbors and if we were -- if the trash enclosure was ten feet from the property line and the residence was right on the other side of the fence, which, believe me, I think we have all seen that scenario, I -- I couldn't stand up here and tell you that I think this is a very workable and a fair solution. If we don't have odors coming out of this building -- it may periodically, depending on the winds and whatnot, traverse the property, it would be another restaurant. But I think -- again, I don't want to make light of it -- that distance is really -- is really great for the -- for the residences across the way, so -- I don't -- I don't have any other questions or comments, unless you do. Yearsley: Are there any other questions? I'm sorry, you have already had a chance to speak. I'm sorry, we have already had that opportunity. Thank you. Erstad: Thank you. Yearsley: Can I get a motion to close the public hearing on CUP 15-007? Fitzgerald: Mr. Chairman? Yearsley: Commissioner Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald: I would move we close the public hearing on CUP 15-007. Wilson: Second. Yearsley: I have a motion and a second to close the public hearing. All in favor say aye. Opposed? Motion carries. MOTION CARRIED: FOUR AYES. ONE ABSENT Yearsley: Comments? Anybody want to go first? Oliver: I think it works. I think it's nicely landscaped. I think the plan looks fine. I think the drive up will work, especially with the exit that they -- the emergency exit they put in. Yearsley: And I agree. It's unfortunate that we ended up putting the C -C next to -- or allowing this use next to residential, but it has -- it is an allowed use. The only thing that we are really acting upon is do we allow the drive-thru. So, I think they have done a good job orienting the building and orienting the drive-thru as far away from the residents as possible to make this as palatable I guess as possible for the residents and so -- so with that I think it's -- I think it's fairly well done, so -- Fitzgerald: Yeah. I tend to agree, Mr. Chairman. I think Mr. Erstad and his staff should be commended for moving the speaker box away from the -- towards Chinden where it's going to be noisy, pushing it as close as we can to Chinden to not impact the -- the Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission May 21, 2015 Page 46 of 48 neighbors and bring in additional landscaping where need be and so I agree with you it's a little bit of a challenge, it's a hard corner and it's -- but it is a commercial zone and so I think we -- based on that we kind of have to move forward from there. Yearsley: Thank you. Any other comments? So, with that I would entertain a motion. Wilson: Mr. Chairman? Yearsley: Commissioner Wilson. Wilson: After considering all staff, applicant, and public testimony, I move to approve file number CUP 15-007 as presented in the staff report on May 21st, 2015. Fitzgerald: Second. Yearsley: I have a motion and a second to approve file number CUP 15-007 as presented. All in favor say aye. Opposed? Motion carries. Congratulations. MOTION CARRIED: FOUR AYES. ONE ABSENT. Item 5: Other Items A. Request for Approval to Change Certain Planning Application Checklists by the Planning Department Yearsley: Oh. One last item. The checklist. Parsons: Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission, I won't belabor this evening too much longer, but I will summarize it very briefly and very quickly. Our UDC requires us to bring forward -- if we have substantial changes to our checklist our UDC requires that they come before you for action and so I did prepare a memo for you and highlighted which changes are -- that we are proposing to the checklist and quickly going through this, the first one would be our annexation and rezone checklist. Where ever we require someone to submit an annexation application we require basically a legal description and exhibit map and this change on this checklist basically just tells -- better informs the applicant on how to prepare that document and submit it to staff, so we don't get bogged down with the application submittal process waiting for the correct documents and that's really what the process of all of these checklist changes are this evening. And the next one pertains to our final plat checklist and our short plat checklist and this request came from our land development division in which they want to receive those plans in a certain -- a certain number of copies in a certain way so they can review plans accurately for the applicant. So, we have worked closely with them to make those changes happen. With that I would stand -- we are asking for your approval of these changes that I presented to you as far as strikeouts, underlined format, and I'd stand for any questions you might have. Yearsley: Are there any questions? Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission May 21, 2015 Page 47 of 48 Fitzgerald: Mr. Chairman? Yearsley: Commissioner Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald: Random question. But do you take this to a developer and say what do you think when you do these? Parsons: Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission, Commissioner Fitzgerald, we do not. I mean if it's something substantial we would, but not for a checklist. Fitzgerald: Okay. Thank you. Yearsley: Any other questions? Well, with that can I get a motion to I guess to approve, if that's your choice, the application? Fitzgerald: Mr. Chairman? Yearsley: Commissioner Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald: I make a motion that we approve per UDC 11 -5A -3B2, the planning application checklist changes. Wilson: Second. Yearsley: I have a motion and a second to approve the planning application checklist. All in favor say aye. Opposed? Motion carries. MOTION CARRIED: FOUR AYES. ONE ABSENT.
