Agenda 1 B&B Business Park Annexation Hearing located at 650 W. Franklin. Brent Barrus was present, representing Annexation request. Barrus displayed vicinity map, pointing out small parcel to the west owned by Stanley's that did not come in with proposal, which would leave an enclave. He asked for a variance of the Ordinance for this reason. Barrus stated the property annexed would relieve fire, police protection and the proposed businesses would create tax base. They will clean up area; be a asset to the community; build a building 150 X 150 which would include another business besides Meridian Glass and Screen. Brewer stated that he felt this should be zoned Light Industrial and that they obtain Conditional Use Permits for 150 foot frontage. Barrus stated he did not object to those conditions. Williams stated he also felt that the whole Annexation should be zoned Light Industrial and come in with each plan for the front 150 feet. Barrus questioned jeopardizing the monument retail business that is there now and what would happen to the trailer home on Strikwerda property. Mayor Glaisyer stated there would be Grandfather rights. If there is a change of title, the trailer home would not be allowed. Kingsford stated that there should be review of plans for 150 feet front through Conditional Use. Barrus stated that the home there, would probably be converted to a business office, with black top on the area that is covered with weeds and grass now. Black top would go back to where the old barn is now, which will be the new Meridian Glass building site. Water and sewer hookup was discussed. Sewer stub appears to be on the end of the Boise Cascade property next to Strikwerda. The water is on Franklin now. Ward stated that the sewer line would have to be extended through the property.
