Bird: On the south and east or just the south?
Rountree: Just the south.
Bird: I would agree with that, Councilman Rountree. And I know that -- I'm sure that
Becky can work out with Mr. Thompson or -- what we need there and I surely think we
need to have something done that way. I would second a motion, if you want to make
it, to reopen this and let's let them have a shot and we can set a parameter of what we
want for a minimum.
De Weerd: Okay. So, do I have a motion to reopen the Public Hearing?
Rountree: Madam Mayor, I move that we reopen the public hearings for Items 20, 21
and 22 and continue those hearings with the direction to the applicant that the Council
would like to see a redesign of the southern portion of the preliminary plat to indicate a
minimum 17,000 square foot per lot, again, on the south side and on the north side that
the applicant would work with Mr. Johnson to reduce back to a minimum of five lots that
border that homeowner and that property owner's ten acres and to reschedule the
hearing for the 18th or 25th? 25th? April 25th. April 25th.
Bird: Second.
De Weerd: Just remember you guys are doing it to yourself. Okay. So, I do have a
motion to continue this to 4/25. Any -- no. No discussion. All those in favor say aye.
All ayes. Motion carried.
MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES. ONE ABSENT.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, just to make an obvious point even
more clear, though, so that is -- the applicant is not to include a stub street on the
northern property, is --
Rountree: Correct.
Canning: Okay.
Item 23:
Public Hearing: VAC 06-003 Request for a Vacation of a drainage
easement between Lots 2 and 3, Block 18, Champion Park Subdivision
NO.3 by Creekside, Inc. - 2484 East Garber Drive:
De Weerd: No. Okay. Okay. Item 23 is Public Hearing VAC 06-003. I will open this
Public Hearing with staff comments.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council -- as soon as my PowerPoint catches
up with my page down. This is a vacation request for Champion Park Subdivision No.
3. It's Lots 2 and 3, Block 18. They had to do a property boundary adjustment to

accommodate some -- some -- it's getting late. Here we go. Sorry. Had to do a
property boundary adjustment to accommodate a couple houses and, then, they need
to now shift the side yard easement that was underneath the former lot line. Staff is
recommending approval of the vacation, with the understanding that a new easement
needs to be recorded in its place. And with that I will answer any questions.
De Weerd: Council, do you have any questions?
Bird: I have none, Mayor.
De Weerd: Okay. Is the applicant here? Is Becky the applicant?
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, there is only one condition of
approval and that condition being that they record a new side yard easement.
De Weerd: Okay.
Bird: Did Gary Smith name these streets?
De Weerd: No.
Bird: That's Borah coaches.
De Weerd: Don Hutt did and he is a graduate from Borah High.
Bird: I knew who did.
Rountree: No applicant, no testimony?
Bird: I guess everything -- is she --?
De Weerd: Okay.
Canning: By Creekside, Inc. I don't know who that is. I suspect the applicant was
probably a builder.
Bird: There is no issues, is there, Anna?
Canning: No. And there is only one condition and that's --
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Bird.
Bird: You have asked for public testimony and nobody is -- I move we close AZ -- or
VAC 06-003.

Item 27:
Public Hearing: AZ 06-002 Request for Annexation and Zoning of 0.43
acres from RUT to L-O (Limited Office District) for Strada Bellissima
Subdivision Outoarcel by Strada Bellissima, LLC - 3015 South Meridian
Road:
De Weerd: Okay. Items 24 through 26 were moved to the beginning of our agenda, so
I will open the Public Hearing on Item 27, AZ 06-002, with staff comments.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, this project is called Strada
Bellissima Subdivision Outparcel. Kind of hard to see the blue outline next to the
purple, but that's -- the property in question is this one right here. It is located at 3015
South Meridian Road and this is just an annexation and zoning request. The site is
surrounded on three sides by land zoned L-O as part of the Strada Bellissima
application. And when this came through we asked the applicant specifically when they
came through with the lot design and how the buildings would be placed in this southern
property, we asked them specifically to accommodate this outparcel in their design.
They did do that. It was probably about a year ago. And so we are confident this
outparcel will be completely integrated into the Strada Bellissima project. I was thankful
that the applicants at Pinnacle and Pinnacle were -- worked with us on this outparcel
and it's very satisfying. This one little piece of property is very satisfying to see it come
in and know that we have planned for it and that it will be completely integrated into the
fabric of Strada Bellissima. The Commission did recommend approval. They heard the
item on March 2nd, 2006. Chris Hobbs spoke in favor of the application. No one
