I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Modification to the existing Development Agreement(H-2018-0006-Inst. #2018-042029)to remove
the requirement for the driveway along the west side of the retail store to be extended to the north
property boundary for future extension and interconnectivity in accord with UDC 11-3A-3A; and a
cross-access/ingress-egress easement to be provided to the property to the north(Parcel
#R4582530202, 13984 W.Jasmine Ln.).
II. SUMMARY OF REPORT
A. Applicant:
Steve Eddy,Fast Eddy's—2151 N. Greenview Ct.,Eagle,ID 83616
B. Owner:
Same as Applicant
C. Representative:
Same as Applicant
III. STAFF ANALYSIS
The UDC (11-3A-3A.2) requires cross-access easements to be granted to adjoining properties where
access to a local street is not available unless otherwise waived by City Council. The abutting property
to the north fronts on a state highway(N. Eagle Rd./SH-55)and does not have access via a local street.
Thus,the reason the driveway access and easement were required.Without this access,the undeveloped
parcel to the north would have no access other than the state highway until such time as the property to
the west (i.e. Delano Subdivision) develops, which granted a cross-access easement to them through
their multi-family development for access via the future extension of N. Centrepoint Way.

Item#6.
EXHIBIT A
The driveway was required to be constructed and an access easement granted with development of this
site prior to issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy(see provisions in Section V). The Applicant
did not wish to construct the driveway or provide an access easement at that time so the Planning
Division recommended the Applicant apply for an amendment to the DA to remove the requirements.
A temporary Certificate of Occupancy was issued in order for the Applicant to apply for an amendment,
which has since expired.
The Applicant proposes to meet with the property owner to the north at the time of development to see
if it makes sense to both of them to install an access at that time. Note:An assisted living facility was
approved to develop on the abutting property to the north through a Conditional Use Permit(CAR20-
00004 &PUD20-00008)for a Planned Residential Development in the City of Boise. This approval
will expire on March 9, 2022 if a building permit hasn't been obtained by that time; or unless a time
extension is approved. The site plan approved with the PUD depicts a driveway access to this site for
cross-access/ingress-egress.
Because this is a UDC requirement, Staff cannot waive the requirement and therefore, cannot support
the request. The UDC does allow for a Council waiver to this standard if deemed appropriate by City
Council.
IV. DECISION
A. Staff:
Staff recommends denial of the modification to the DA as proposed;however,City Council has the
authority to waive the requirement in UDC 11-3A-3A.2 and approve the Applicant's request if they
deem appropriate.
B. The Meridian City Council heard this item on November 30,2021.At the public hearing.the
Council moved to approve a modification the DA as discussed during the hearing.

b. In opposition:None
C. Commenting: Dave Martin, Stellar Senior Living
d. Written testimony: None
e. Staff presenting application: Sonya Allen
f. Other Staff commenting on application: Joe Bongiorno
2. Key issue(s)of public testimony:
a. The owner/developer of the property to the north wants the drivewav and cross-access to
be provided: or at a minimum, an emergency access driveway and easement provided.
3. Key issue(s)of discussion by City Council:
a. The possibility of providing an emergency-only access instead of a full access to the
property to the north:
b. Concern pertaining to not having an access driveway to the property to the north for
cross-access and emergency access.
4. City Council change(s)to Commission recommendation.
a. Council approved a modification to the DA that only requires an emergency access
easement and driveway with bollards acceptable to the Fire Department to be provided
to the property to the north. The work associated with the project should be complete
within 6 months if possible.Another temporary Certificate of Occupancy should be
issued until that time.
