RE: Ten Mile Public Storage Request
On behalf of Public Storage,we are submitting the following Annexation/Rezone request for review and
approval.
The subject property is located at 4065 North Ten Mile Road in Ada County(Parcel No. S0434141801)
and consists of 5.797 acres. Also included is a portion of Parcel No. S0434131201, a City of Meridian
access road. The site contains an existing single-family home and several outbuildings which will be
removed. The property owner also owns the existing self-storage facility to the south. Across the canal
to the south east is the Meridian Wastewater Plant. The Future Land Use Map designates the site as
`Mixed Use Non-Residential'which designates areas where new residential dwellings are not permitted
and includes storage as a sample use. The project is requesting annexation into the City of Meridian
with the zone I-L (Light Industrial District)which is consistent with the adjacent storage facilities.
Our client intends to expand the existing self-storage facility. Discussions with City Staff confirmed the
City of Meridian would be amenable to relocating their existing access drive between the two parcels
to the north side of the parcel in order to keep the storage facility contiguous. Our client intends to
construct two conditioned/enclosed single-story storage buildings along a new 26' wide service drive
which stubs to the west property line. The 25' wide relocated City road on the north side of the parcel
will ensure future connectivity is available should the adjacent parcels to the north redevelop.
The project includes 34 total parking spaces. Fencing, landscaping and street improvements will be
expanded from the site to the south for consistency. Vehicular site access will also be provided from
the existing storage facility's access, removing the previously proposed access on Ten Mile Rd. A
request for the elimination of the 25' residential landscape buffer is included.The elimination is required
due to the constrained shape of the site and the nature of practical site access resulting in an undue
hardship based on site characteristics. All parking will be screened from the residences to the north's
view by the proposed buildings, a perimeter wall and landscaping where possible. Granting of the
elimination will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare.
Agency requirements will be fully met and submitted for your review and comment as the project
continues. Initial meetings indicate that agencies are in alignment and agreement for the proposed
project; however, as additional needs arise, they will be mitigated and incorporated in the project
design. The best engineering, architectural, and constructions practices will be employed and
implemented by the ownership and consultant team.
