Motion Carried: All Yea:
Itan #1: Public Hearing: Application for Conditional Use Permit by the Joy School of
Meridian:
Chairman Johnson: Is there a representative of the Joy School here, if so would you
ca:~ forward and be sworn.
Jesse Wilson, 2088 L,.Ann Way, Tdilson was sworn by the City Attorney.
Wilson: I do not really have anything to add to the application, I think there was maybe
a little misunderstanding that we were requesting parking on both sides of the building
we were thinking about having parking on the north side of the building but realize that
now that it is not possible, we plan to use the entrance that is there and we would
provide for the clientele to enter there and go in behind the building and turn around
and cane back out which would reduce any safety hazzard. This would also get the traffic
off the street.
Chairman Johnson: Have you reviewed the Garments fran the City Engineer and the ACRD?
Wilson: I guess based on what I was sent here, I do not have any problems meeting the
requirements, there is a mention here of a sidewalk and curbing, is it saying here I
have to have the sidewalk in to obtain the permit?
Chairman Johnson: What we have done in the past is waive that recaccnendation until such
time as the entire street or area is developed, at that time when it is developed you
will be expected to do your share.
Wilson: Is there anything that you can tell me tonite that I am not aware of that needs to
be met before it can go onto the City Council?
Chairman Johnson: What we will do at this time if that is your presentation, I will open
it up to questions frarr the Carmission if they have any.
Alidjani: You have read the camients that were sent you and you do not have any problen
with than, one Garment that is in there is if you have more than fifty children, your
assessment on water & sewer would chtuZge.
Wilson: I have read than and I do not anticipate anything that I can not camiit to

meeting or abiding to.
Alidjani: The only exception you had for the cam~ents is the exception for curbs, gutter
and sidewalks at this time?
Wilson: Yes, this is the only problem we would have at this time.
Alidjani: Hav many feet is there approximately between the building and the property
line?
Wilson: I measured it just the other day and there is a little over fifteen feet from the
building to the line also for your information it is exactly the same on the other side.
Rountree: Just to clarify what you said, the driveway and access that exist now will go
to the back of the building and you will have a turn around area and a parking area in
the proposed chain link area that you shwa in your drawing?
Wilson: That is correct.
Rountree: How many people are you going to provide parking for?
Wilson: As we have indicated we will probably have more children attending than are
attending now, we are at a very minimum level, right now we have at the most five to
six cars that are there at any one time but with what I can anticipate there should
be plenty of roan for people to turn around and cane back out without any congestion.
There is a lot of roan out behind that building, it is a very deep lot.
Hepper: No, that was my main concern as long as there is roan in the back, I have no
questions.
Wilson: Is there a rein ' ement as to the type of surface for the parking back behind
the building?
Chairman Johnson: There is no requiranent that I am aware of that makes it mandatory
to have it paved.
City Attorney: I think there is a requirement for the all wheather surface on the
parking.
airman Johnson: We will have to review the Ordinance on that. I have one question
do you have a number that you might have at each session, you have indicated two sessions
are you going to be limited to the two sessions or do you anticipate a third?
Wilson: We would probably go to about twelve children per session if you go above that
you really can not have a good program, we did anticipate in the future the possibility
and these are projected plans having perhaps an after school service for parents who
work like to six o'clock and need a good place for the children until they get home.
This would be after the Joy school Classes are aver. There would be no night school.
Alidjani: The state has a requirement on how many square feet is needed per child,
do you know what that is?
Wilson: There is no requiranent for pre-school, that is for day care not for pre-school.
That is the distinction we are makeing, we are using the front part at this time and we
plan in the future to redo the back part which is much larger, the part that is not
finished is about two third of the building so we anticipate having plenty of square

footage.
Chairman Johnson: You are talking about the fencing being a prereq[ai_site prior to
opening?
Wilson: Yes, the fencing is for the safety of the children, that is sanething we want
to have protection for keeping the children there, either that or not letting them out.
Chairman Johnson: Are there any more questions? There was no response, I will now open
the Public Hearing, is there anyone in the audience who wishes to testify on this
application? There was no response, the Public Hearing was closed. Iri expediance of
time you have before you Preliminary Findings of Fact and Conclusions on this request.

Item #2: Public Hearing: Request for Annexation & Zoning by the Stonehouse Evangelical
Church w/ a Conditional Use Permit:
Chairman Johnson: Is there a representative present, if so please cane forward and
state your name and be sworn.
Rocky Towle, Design Resources, Towle was sworn by the City Attorney:.
Towle: We have submitted for the City of Meridian for annexation & zoning and for
a Conditional Use Permit for a church & school the property owned by the Stonehouse
Church on Ten Mile about 600 feet south of Cherry Lane.EVerytlung that we have seen
or have received as far as the can<nents go we have no problems with. We have a church
and school building that is about 7000 square feet we have designed it and have set it
pretty much in the center of the property so we can try to buffer the neighbors around
it.
City Clerk: Did Jim Gipson get ahold of you today?
Towle: Yes, I talked to him today, he is the representative for the LDS Church that
is being built to the north of the property we have and he had some questions and
concerns as far as what we were doing and when we finished .our conversation he was
fully supportive as to what we were doing and he said I could state that for the
record.

Alidjani: have you had a chance to review the requirements the City Engineer and
ACfID had?
Towle: Yes, we have no problan, the only question we have is with the water line
in bringing it down the frontage we have on Ten Mile, I do not know where it is
going to go once it hits the lateral that is there so what we would like to do is
bring that into the property to where it is used, if it needs to be extended further
than fine but to bring it down the full length of the prop..r~p, we don't see why it
should be done.
City Clerk: The City Ordinance requires that sewer & water lines be extended to and
through the property.
Towle: If there is anyway that could be amended so we could get it down to the property
if there is scene way that it is going to be put under that lateral than fine whoever is
doing the work to the south we would be glad to put our cost down to the property line
and let than do the further develognent but I think they are going to find it will end
there where the lateral is.
Rountree: Isn't that where the frontage stops anyway at the lateral?
Towle: Yes: What we would like to do is bring it in a couple hundred feet instead of
full length of the property.
Chairman Johnson: This is something that would need to be brought at the Council level.
City Attorney: Technically this would require a 's~ariance.
Rountree: I would like a little more information about what you discussed in terms
of design, what was subbmitted is pretty scant.
Towle: I have a set of plans here for you to see as far as what we are planning for the
building, these were shown to the Ccnanission for there review. Towle explained these
to the Carmission. The landscaping, parking and etc.
Hepper: I was wondering about the sewer systan,yq~ going ahead with anon site systan.
Towle: It will have to be in tip frame we are looking at.
Hepper: If you go ahead with the on site and then the City sewer lines are extended you
would be required to connect to that and vacate the on site system.
Towle: 2 do not have any idea on that if that is the requirement that is fine.
City Clerk: Under the Ordinance when the line is within three hundred feet you are
required to connect.
Hepper: So if that came within three hundred feet a year after you put your system in
you would be required to vacate the system you have.
Towle: I understand.
City Clerk: I might interject sanething here, the LDS Church wanted to extend the sewer
to their property but could not get together with basically the owners of the undevelop-
ed portion of Cherry Lane Village to bring the line out to Ten Mile, they did not knee
where the street was caning out to Ten Mile in which the line wz~uld have been installed.

expand to pickup an additional 100 or so.
Alidjani: Haa many feet do you wish to extend that ten inch water line?
Towle: About 200 feet of the 361 feet:
Chairman Johnson: I will now open the Public Hearing: Is there anyone in the audience
