to the neighbors.

the conditions stated herein with the exception of Item #4-h.
Motion Carried: All Yea:
Item #3: Public Hearing, Application by Claremont Development for a
Comprehensive Plan Amendment.
Chairman Spencer, this hearing is for the purpose of determining if
the application by Claremont Development for a Comprehensive Plan
Amendment for the designation of the property located on the North
East corner of Eagle Road and I-84 as a Regional Shopping Center
warrants further study by the City of Meridian.
Mr. Phil Davidson, of Claremont Development from Bellevue, Washington
was present to represent this application.
Mr. Davidson, The Eagle Road Site is a good location and has good
exposure and is in the center of Treasure Valley, This site has good
access and is close enough to Meridian for Zoning. Our Company gained
control of this site in July of 1983. I was first introduced to the
situation in the Boise Marketplace in 1982 at that time I was with
Sutterhill Development Company out of California. We have found a
healthly climate in the City of Meridian both for population growth
and for welcoming a Regional Shopping Center although Eagle Road is
not the preferred location. After obtaining control of this site, I
immediately set about to find some major tenants to anchor the shopp-
ing site for us. Made trips down to Los Angles and talked to Sears
and Penriys who were names we had heard that were interested but found
from them they were pretty much committed to the John Price Development
Company, not only to Price but to each other. At the time we found they
along with Lamonts and DCMI wanted to anchor one large center, as they
felt only one center could be supported out here. So they found it
-convenient to committo John Price Development, who had developed quite
a few sites and a very capable developer and he at the time was work-
ing on the Cloverdale Road site. They all submitted letter to Price
for that location, since then they have moved those letters down to
Westpark Mall. Price has some problem with both of these sites, so
we went to him and struck an agreement to jointly develop a regional
shopping center at Eagle Road and Interstate 84 should it be approved
here in Meridian. I would like to at this time ,. :oe have put together
a team and I will introduce them now, Mr. Ed Bews, owner of the proper-
ty; Mr. Al Lance, Attorney; Mr. Rick Orton, Engineer; Mr. R. D. Bischoff,
Real Estate Broker; Mr. Al Norris, John Graham Company, Architect, Mr.
Duaine Rasmussen and Mr. Fred Bruning, from the John Price Company.
You have this Eagle Road site presented to you before, but let me assure
you this is entirely a different proposal and different group of
players. When you saw this proposal before it had an annexation route
which was very questionable to the City of Meridian as the route was
partly on the South side of I-84, as you have seen in our proposal we
have a clean route of annexation to this property, also in 1981 when
this property came up it was not in the Area of Impact. Today this
site is included in Meridians Area of Impact. There was also, no
tenants interest when reviewed in 1981 and decision made in 1983.

I met with the Mayor and City Council several times and advised them
I did not plan to bother with Comprehensive Plan Amendment or Annex-
ation until we had some major tenant interest. I can happily report
tonite'~hat we do have letters from major tenants, three major tenants
to be exact, which have been reviewed by the Planning & Zoning Members
and Mr. Bruning has advised me that they have negotiations going on with
two or three other major tenants who have expressed a definite interest
at becoming part of a shopping center at I-84 and Eagle Road but they
want to make sure the Zoning is in place. Anything you can do to expe-
dite this application would be appreciated and in April I think we will
be able to show you some more letters. The applications which I have
here and you have in front of you-has now been formly submitted and it
addresses all the points required in the Comprehensive Plan and the City
Ordinances for a Comprehensive Plan change and tonite we are asking for
a motion which recognizes the merit of our request for a Comprehensive
Plan Amendment and further study.
Chairman Spencer, any questions of the Commission?
There were no questions of Claremont.
Chairman Spencer opened meeting for public hearing, there was no one
present in the audience who wished to testify. Public hearing was closed.
Chairman Spencer, under 67-6508 of the Land Use Planning Statue this
application addresses the requirements needed with the exception of
economic effect on the downtown Meridian business.The Commission was
in agreement with this.
Mr. Davidson advised this would be adressed at the April hearing if the
Commission determined this request warranted further study.
Chairman Spencer, I also believe this application adresses the standards
on Page 19 of the Comprehensive Plan. The Commission was in agreement
with this statement.
The Motion was made by Morrow and seconded by Johnson to instruct the
City Attorney to prepare Findings of Fact and Conclusions on the appl-
ication by Claremont Development for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment.
Motion Carried: All Yea:
The Motion was made by Morrow and seconded by Johnson that the Findings
of Fact and Conclusions recommend that the application by Claremont
Development for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment warrants further study.
Motion Carried: All Yea:
Chairman Spencer, under 2-416-D2 of the Zoning & Development Ordinance
it states no action can be taken on a zoning amendment until the
Comprehensive Plan is amended to allow the Zoning Amendment.
Mr. Crookston, is there any way that a public hearing can be held
on Claremonts request before Comprehensive Plan Amendment is approved,
even the possibility of appointing a Hearing Officer?

Mr. Crookston, Any action taken on the Annexation and Zoning request
would violate the Ordinances,as even with a Hearing Officer he would
be acting on the City's behalf.
Phil Davidson, Is there any way this could be completed any faster?
Attorney Crookston, Special Meeting would speed the process along.
Johnson, what about the Amendments the Planning & Zoning are propos-
ing, are they going to be heard in April?
Spencer, that was the next item I needed to bring up, we need to either
have a Special Meeting before the 11th of March or after the 11th to
consider these amendments in order to have in time to process in April.
It was the consensus of the Commission to hold a Special Meeting on
March 7, 1985 for a Public Hearing on the Amendments to the Comprehen-
sive Plan that are being proposed by the Planning & Zoning Commission
to determine if they warrant further study and to have a workshop on
the Zoning & Development Ordinances after the Public Hearing.
Being no further business to come before the Commission the Motion was
made by Cole and seconded by Shearer to adjourn at 8:07 p.m.
Motion Carried: A11 Yea:
