Good afternoon Alan, I have attached the buffer narrative with supporting email from the HOA/developer. I wanted to confirm when the hearing date is scheduled and when will the site need to be posted?

I originally said PC, but it sounds like since it's a DA requirement, the Council is the only one that can approve it. You would be asking for a waiver from the landscape buffer requirement of the DA. I recommend you describe why what you propose is equal to or better than what the regulation requires. I recommend you considering additional buffering in that area, or something else that makes this argument. You'll want to explain how this is consistent with the building to the east, which does appear to meet this requirement. We'll make a recommendation to the PC, who will make a recommendation to the Council, who will approve or deny. I need this quickly so I can get this out before I leave on Friday. Otherwise, we miss the hearing date. Alan Tiefenbach Current Associate Planner City of Meridian Community Development Dept. 33 E.

Good morning Alan, Please see responses to your questions below: 1. We have discussed the 20' northern landscape buffer. We have determined the Planning Commission has the ability to reduce this buffer. I need a letter from you summarizing what you are requesting and why the reduction should be granted. I suggest you consider additional screening, better architecture on that side, etc. to justify why what you propose is the same or better than what the buffer is trying to accomplish. Jeff is working on this. 2. You'll have to address the encroachment on the City easement and how it will be resolved. Is Public Works amenable to realigning the easement? (I'm forwarding this email to Bruce Freckleton.) Will you slightly reduce the building on that side? I have been in contact with Steve O'brien at the City of Meridian it looks like we will be able to make adjustments to that easement. Please see his response below: "Attached is a partial easement release form and the recorded water easement for Settlers Crossing. The partial release easement can be used to pullback the existing easement from the proposed building. A legal description and an accompany map depicting the portion of the existing easement to be released will need to be prepared and submitted to the City. Attached is a "how to"document for submitting documents online. Include the recorded easement along with the submittal." 3. Please submit a copy of the cross access easement. Please see attached agreement. 4. 1 need to know how parking works. It appears there are 5 parking spaces on the subject property. Are these 5 dedicated solely to this property?Where is the 6th coming from? If the additional parking is coming from another lot, do you have an agreement to use it? Does the property that you're taking the parking space from meet their own parking requirements? If this gets too complicated, can you add another parking space at the north end of the existing lot (in front of the subject property)? It looks possible, but there appears some type of mechanical equipment or pad in that area (looking at the aerial). Please see attached excerpt from the Sundance Subdivision #5 CCRs in regard to the parking. There are 5 spaces located on the west side of Parcel A. There are an additional 11 spaces on the south side of Parcel B. The COA determines whether use or building size will cause the parking lot to fall below the minimum required parking spaces. The COA and surrounding neighbors are very happy with how under parked this facility will be. I believe there are 2 or 3 spaces needed during the week and residence visits are scheduled during the weekend. I have also attached the CCRs they refer to maintenance of the parking lot as common and the last page of the CCRs has an exhibit showing an access easement throughout the parking lot. Let me know if you have any questions or need more information from us. Thank you for your help on this.
