Item
1 PUBLIC HEARING: Request for Conditional Use Permit for Insurance Office
Weslee Hoalst & Steve Anderson; 1434. Meridian Street
Steve Anderson was present representing the request to operate an Insurance office
at 1434 Meridian Street. Anderson explained that the business will be an Independent
Brokerage operating out of what has been a single family residence up until the
present time.
Commission Member Morrow questioned Anderson as to his anticipation on what the parking
requirements will be.
Anderson said that he felt that the existing parking would be very adequate, but the
long range plans would be to provide parking in the rear.
There was discussion concerning the parking. (Tape on File - City Clerk's Office)
Commission Member Chenowith stated that she would want the parking to be in the rear
and felt that a time frame should be set on the completion of the back lot. Chenowith
said that she felt a one year restriction should be placed on the project.
Morrow disagreed, sayingthat he felt the cost of a blacktop lot would be a financial
burden to the business, and felt that the business should have a chance to get up
and get growing. Morrow said he felt a 2 year time frame was much more feasiable.
Chenowith said she is still concerned with the backing out on to Meridian Street,
and the problems it would cause.
Steve Anderson stated that he felt this really wasn't a problem.
Gieller questioned the response to the signatures of neighbors on the application for
Conditional Use.
Anderson said that all of the neighbors had signed, that there were none that disagreed
to the operation of an Insurance Office 3t the location.
Chairman Spencer Opened the Public Hearing for response from the public.
There was no response.
Spencer closed the Public Hearing.
Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission 2. June 13, 1983
Item 1 Cont'd .
There was more discussion among the Commission concerning the proposed parking.
(Tape on File - City Clerk's Office)
Chenowith: "I am still very reluctant to accept this as it is with the proposed
parking." Chenowith said that she is still very concerned about the problems that
may incur on Meridian Street, and stated again that she would like to see the parking
be in the rear of the office.
Steve Andersonexplained that it is not economicallyfeasiable at this time to black top
the rear for parking. Anderson said they need the chance to get the business up on
its feet and going, and explained that there are several costs just in getting the
residence prepared for office use.
There was discussion on the sign. (Tape on File - City Clerk's Office)
The Motion was made by Chenowith and seconded byMorrow that the Commission recommend
to the City Council that the request for a Conditional Use Permit by Wes Hoalst and

limited to an attractive non-electrical type sign.
