Item 4: Continued Public Hearing from February 6, 2003: AZ 02-031 "w~„ Request for annexation and zoning of 39.05 acres from RUT to R-8 zones _ for proposed Castlebrook Subdivision No. 2 by Crestline Development, `` ` LLC - 4000 West Pine Avenue, east of North Black Cat Road and south of ~~:. ~'~~"~° West Cherry Lane: ~~+ ~, Item 5: Continued Public Hearing from February 6, 2003: PP 02-032 ~~~'~~~' Request for Preliminary Plat approval of 148 building lots and 9 other lots <a=: on 39.05 acres in a proposed R-8 zone for proposed Castlebrook '''`''y` Subdivision No. 2 by Crestline Development, LLC - 4000 West Pine ~'~; . Avenue, east of North Black Cat Road and south of West Cherry Lane: Borup: That brings us to the next item, which is a continued Public Hearing from our February 6 meeting. This is a request for annexation and zoning of 39 acres for Castlebrook Subdivision and also the request for preliminary plat on the same project. I'd like to open both these continued hearings at this time and I think this was continued ``x because of the question on serviceability of sewer, mainly. We have a new staff report. Is there number some additional things you'd like to add, Mr. McKinnon? McKinnon: Yes, Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission, I do have a few things to add, if it would be okay at this time. Just to take care of a little bit of paperwork, if you guys could just go to your staff report, there is a few things that need to be changed. '~ < Upon making revisions by the -- the applicant making revisions to the plat, we have now increased the subdivision from 148 lots to 158 -- 150, excuse me. The eight jumped out <;: at me, one hundred fifty, rather than 148. So, if you could make that correction for when you make your motion tonight. It's now at 150, rather than 148. And the second ~' ` paragraph of the applicant -- the application summary, still on a page one, it says that '' ' the single family lots within the subdivision range from 6,000 square feet to approximately 12,400 square feet and that's inaccurate. The lots are, actually, a minimum 6,500 square feet. Lots 12, 13, and 14 of Block 9 are incorrectly labeled as _ being 6,000 square feet. The dimensions are 65 by 100, but they have shown the lots ;;~~ as being 6,000 square feet in size, so the math doesn't add up. That's something that ,.x the applicant will have to revise, at least prior to the final plat. Meridian Planning & Zoning March 20, 2003 Page 4 of 64 ~- Centers: Are there lots 12,400 square feet? -~,y McKinnon: I think there is --there is one that's 12,430 -- Centers: Okay. ~1.:~~ McKinnon: -- square feet. If I could get you to turn to page six of the staff report. I'm ~~ z~- going to address the additional considerations with the block length. It states in the first ~=.T sentence that Blocks 3, 8, and 4 of the proposed subdivision exceed the maximum "~' 1,000 foot block length. Please add Block No. 9 to that as well. On the second ,_, sentence it says Block 6 and 7 do not meet the minimum block length of 500 feet. ~S; : i e, Please add Block No. 10 to that as well. And this will need to affect one of the -- one of ~:,': %. ~~ the site specific conditions of approval, but I will get to that. All of these blocks will need ~~ - a variance. If the variance cannot b e o btained, the applicant will be responsible f or ~',- revising the plat. Down to the pathway and foot bridge at Ten Mile Creek. The 4, ro osed athwa it oes throu h talkin about afive-foot athwa it should be in ~~ ` P P p Y -- . g 9 9 p Y '~ ~, a~ width and it's not shown to be on the MMID property or on the applicant's property at this time. The revised plat does not show this. The applicant has stated -- and he's ~~` willing to address this tonight, the fact that Nampa-Meridian Irrigation Department -- or ~f District has stated they will allow a pathway on their property and I will have him ~„ address that. Down to the issue of connectivity under additional considerations of the ~'''~ final p ortion o f t he a dditional c onsiderations, p lease s trike t hat entire c omment. The ~'~ applicant has provided the new street connecting Scott and Andover Court through ~: ~;~ Block 9, so, please, strike that. Page eight. In the site specific conditions of approval, ~~,,y Item No. 10 needs to be revised to be -- to read that drainage shall -- must be designed ~H` to insure that water is retained only during a 100 year -- not a 25 year as indicated. S? ~''° That needs to be revised to 100 year. Item No. 14. This is the one that I mentioned ' "'~ earlier that would be reflective of the block lengths and the wording on that would need r' ~ to be revised to state that the applicant is responsible for obtaining a variance for all ~ - seven of the blocks that have been mentioned and that if a variance cannot be obtained ~,. ~~. from the city, the applicant shall revise the plat to conform with the Meridian City Code. Centers: So, excuse me, Dave, would it be -- would it suffice to just say: Or obtain a variance prior to City Council? McKinnon: Yes. Centers: Okay. ~,~= McKinnon: That makes it a lot easier. Down to general comments, number five, ~~ ~~ irrigation ditches, laterals, canals, exclusive natural waterways, just to point out that that Fk;~~ excludes the Ten Mile. They are not going to be required to the the Ten Mile. Those are the major changes that I had for you. This is a revised site plan that you have not yet -- that you didn't deal with at the last hearing. This is a revised site plan. If you ~--f ~ remember, there was a small knuckle at this location and there was a cul-de-sac that ~~ ~ came back to here and they have added the small street for some additional ~:~F -- s~ Meridian Planning & Zoning {, ;: March 20, 2003 Page 5 of 64 ~- f interconnectivity through the subdivision. As I stated before, they are not showing the ~_~ pathway on their property, they are showing it on Nampa-Meridian Irrigation District's property. One of the questions that I'd have for the applicant and for the Commission is ,; .. -- to be answered tonight is when the pathway should be completed, prior to what point ~`T" of occupancy of the subdivision, and when you guys would like to see written authorization from Nampa-Meridian Irrigation Department, if you'd like to see that before ~~`~ you pass this along, or if that would be something before the City Council. I have ~'~`:~ ~;; ~. looked at the minutes from the last discussion, there was quite a bit of discussion ~~ ~' ~ concerning the size of the lots and Parkside Creek and the connectivity between the tY '' two. There were some issues that we asked for this to be continued for last time that ~ . had to deal with the water and the sewer issues with this site. Bruce Freckleton is here ~ _ , ~~~<< tonight to address those issues, but if I can just brush on those. Bruce has revised the ~~~- staff report to say that we are certain that we can provide sewer for this property and 4k_. ~~ that water issues can be resolved prior to construction of the subdivision. Have you got :. ~`:,:" anything you want to add to that, Bruce? If you have any questions of staff at this time "~~`~' we will take those and turn the time back over to you. Borup: Questions from any of the Commissioners? Okay. ~~`°:; -'~~' McKinnon: Thank you. -+ F.: Borup: Thank you. Does the applicant have anything they'd like to add? Amar: Good evening, Commissioners. My name is Kevin Amar. Address 114 East Idaho, Suite 230, here in Meridian. Unless the Commission desires, I will just address the comments from staff. I don't know that we need to go over the whole project again. '`~~7 Borup: That's what we desire. Amar: Okay. This project at the previous hearing there were concerns with respect to _,; sewer and water. Bruce addressed those. We do have those issues resolved. We met with the engineering department and we can abide by the Commission -- or the conditions. We understand we will have to pay the 1,500 dollar Black Cat sewer extension fee and that's something we also understand and we will do. With respect to some of the questions that were brought up tonight for the pathway, this pathway -- this 4` ~'l `~~;> property along the Ten Mile Drain is, indeed, owned by the Nampa-Meridian Irrigation A'`` District. We did approach the Nampa-Meridian Irrigation District and they told us they '`_°"` would get us a letter and we haven't received that letter yet, but their concern was that we would build a pathway at a minimum of 16 feet off the top of their bank, so they can still travel and maintain that drain. We told them that would not be a problem and that -' we would maintain any spoils that they place up on that. So, the effect to them is nothing. The effect to the subdivision and the surrounding neighbors is that it cleans up ~~~r~ the area and it provides a nice amenity for those neighbors. We will be providing a y.~ pathway to connect with the park -- Fuller Park across the Ten Mile drain. That pathway -- all of these pathways would be built, the subdivision will be phased in accordance ~. with the fire department phasing and I suspect it will be something of this nature in order ., .. ,. Meridian Planning & Zoning March 20, 2003 Page 6 of 64 ``" to have the two points of connectivity and each portion of this pathway that is in that r ; phase, if there is two phases of the pathway, it will be built during that phase or at least that's our proposal. I think those were the issues that were brought up by staff. The variances -- we have submitted for a variance. On some of these we did provide -- _ actually, this lot -- or this block and this block needs a variance because of the connectivity of those two streets. We have submitted for a variance on some of them and, apparently, we omit a couple of the blocks on our variance. We will revise that and ~~ make sure that it does get in for the City Council meeting. I believe staff can -- or is .,. willing to support this request for a variance. We have met with them and discussed our ~° ~ options and what we have before you, between us and the staff, I think is the best idea. With that, unless there are other questions, I will stand for any questions. Ms. Wildwood is here to address the -- I think you saw it the last time, but the housing -- or lot sizes in comparison w ith o ther s ubdivisions, i f t hat's s omething y ou want t o s ee a gain, t hat's something we are more than happy to do. It's up to you. ~- Centers: Mr. Chairman? }=: Borup: Commissioner Centers. ~~ Centers: This is a foot bridge you're talking about? 5 `,; Amar: Yes, sir. `~~`' Centers: In my notes it says it's going to be replaced with aculvert. - 1 %' _, Amar: It will be a culvert, it will still be -- I call it a foot bridge. There will still be pedestrian traffic across there. ,~:~ Centers: Okay. Amar: But there will be a culvert. ~~~ ~ Centers: You didn't address staffs comments as to when you think that pathway should be completed. Amar: The pathway -- it's our intent that that pathway will be completed during that phase of construction. ~~~~ Centers: Which phase? The first phase? Amar: The phase that -- our first phase, most likely, will be in this area and that is to deal with connectivity, having the two points of access. This pathway will most likely be in the second phase. So, in the second phase that pathway would be built, constructed, and we are happy to build it during the course of construction, obviously, weather permitting, for the landscaping and the pathway. If we can pave the streets, we can pave the pathway. So, that is something that can be addressed. ;1 ~ • March 20, 2003 Page 7 of 64 Centers: So, what you're saying is you don't want to do the pathway until you start on T the second phase of construction -- or second -- Amar: I want to do the pathway when that portion of that phase is adjacent to the pathway. I guess if the -- if we do this -- let's assume we just split it down the middle, we will develop half the pathway and, then, the next phase we will develop the other . half. ~ ~~~ Centers: So, when you're selling lots up in here, you expect to have the pathway done? s ~~~ Amar: Yes, sir. Centers: Okay. And what's that block number? -~~~ Borup: Four. Amar: Block 4. Centers: Block 4. Okay. Borup: So, the pathway will be done adjacent to the lots? ~'~'"` Amar: When the lots are for sale, the pathway will be done. -~ Borup: At the time of recording. g'-N Amar: Orin the process of being completed will be bonded for. Yes. Borup: Well, yeah, the normal -- Amar: The normal procedure. We do not want to do construction behind houses while people are living there. That creates a nightmare for everyone, I think. Centers: Thank you. ~;~~ Amar: Thank you. Borup: Any questions from any other Commissioners? "~ McKinnon: Mr. Chairman? Mr. Chairman, I have a question for the applicant.

Amar: Thank you. ~~` Borup: Do we have anyone else to testify on this application? Okay. Any other additional questions? Okay. Come on up, sir. t~ Glines: My name is Mark Glines and I live across the street there at -- across the street at Parkside Creek. I still have a couple of questions. Bruce, can you tell me what size the sewer drain is that this is going to drain through? You said you had worked out the ~~ sewage. What's the size of the line that it's going to go through? Freckleton: There are eight inch main lines that it's going to drain through. There is a 21 inch sewer interceptor line that is -- that comes from the pump station that is currently at Coral Creek Subdivision. There is going to be a new regional lift station put in up in the corner. =~: Glines: When is that lift station going to be put in? Let me be blunt. I heard some `` ` rumors that the capacity -- the sewer line capacity is not up to what it needs to be and .A „, ~' `~` that a lot of additional capacity needs to be finished before this subdivision can have proper flow. Told that it's enough just for the Coral Creek division and not much for ~'~`~' more than that. Freckleton: This developer will be working -- as part of their design, they are going to be going through and if upgrades need to be made to the lift station at Coral Creek, they sy will be making those u pgrades, as f ar as if they have to upsize pumps, t hey will be doing that. o~ ~~ ~, „~ Meridian Planning & Zoning March 20, 2003 ~, ,. `: Page 9 Of 64 ~ Glines: Oka At the last meetin the last hearin ou talked about how there is Y• 9-- 9Y ~Y ~_, going to be a 21 inch line put in down along Ten Mile. That's going to eventually catch ~~,~•,, some major pump station down towards Franklin or something. r ~~ w Freckleton: Correct. .. R': t Glines: Is that something that is going to be excavated for during or prior to this ~~-~~:~~_~ .. development being finished? t~ Freckleton: It will be -- the line that you're talking about is the Black Cat Sewer Trunk "-~"""' Line is what we call it. It will be going through the development and it will be following t~ *~Y the road alignment. It does not go along -- right along the creek. ~~: ~ Glines: At the last hearing it was going to go along the creek. That's the way it was ~~. ~: ' explained. Okay. So, it's going to -- so, in other words, the 21 inch line that comes out ~~ ~~-' of Coral Creek is going to follow under some of the existing streets that are coming in -- "'°~°~~ Freckleton: Proposed streets. ~!4y~~ ~~~- x. -: ~~~; Glines: Especially in number one? ,~ Borup: Mr. Glines, I'm not sure where you're going with this. What's your concem? `.~ Glines: Well, my concern is I don't want to see what we said last hearing was that there was going to be that 21 inch line going down along the ditch. ', Freckleton: That's not going to happen. Glines: Okay. Because if that was going to go down along the ditch, then, we are going to have the whole area torn up twice. Okay. That place gets torn up, gets torn up, gets torn up -- Borup: Well, that 21 inch line is going in whether this subdivision goes in or not. Glines: Okay. Well, Ijust -- the comment being is that that line was going to have to go through t hat a rea t hat was g oing t o b e i mproved a nd, t hen, i is g oing t o g et t orn u p again, then, we have it torn up twice and that is a negative impact on the Parkside Creek neighborhood. { Freckleton: I think it is important to point out that that 21-inch line will go in, more than `~ likely as part of the subdivision. It will go in at the same time. That is if -- if their phases .~.r march along, you know, prior to the city taking the project on. Glines: Okay. Where is the irrigation water coming from? Do you know where that is? Where? z~ ._ ~~. 5~ ::: ~~~i'~ 1 f~1 1.+~ ~.'N'.' +Y4.i .Si ~' ~, ~4 S a!• q,. - i. ~~S '~ f _.~ .. °^`•~?

Well, I'd like to know where the irrigation water is coming from. I talked ~~'~~~ with Nampa-Meridian and they tell me that there is not enough water available there for ~:~; that development, unless some additional capacity -- some substantial additional a~~ '~ capacity is added. Borup: It's being irrigated now, isn't it? Glines: It's the applied from the south end and the water supposedly is supposed to be coming from the pump up between Coral Creek and Pintail. Borup: Okay. `'"~ Glines: One of the things is I'm working with the Parks Department such in trying to get the t rail along T en Mile and T en Mile improved and cleaned up and every effort we make to try to do something is going to have to -- is going to get undone by things that have to get done later on. It's like you put in a new street and the next week somebody comes in and starts digging up the sewers. It was nice to have a new street, but now ~a we have got sewer -- sewer digs all over the place. And so the idea is to bring it up, so ''" that we can get these things done in a comprehensive way, so that it's done once and we have a nice result, versus done a second time and we have half baked result. Borup: Okay. We will find out where the irrigation water is coming from. `~~~ Glines: From what Nampa-Meridian tells me, there is not enough water coming out of that -- out of the line that would come -- I thought the line was going to come down from *i`` the Black Cat side through Castlebrook, over to Castlebrook II, but Nampa-Meridian ~w. tells me there is not enough water capacity that direction. 4 f-:'; ; Borup: Okay. >-~~ Glines: There is not enough -- Borup: Any other questions? Glines: Okay. The other question is what do we know -- how do we know that the ~'_~ pathway that's going to be on the development side of Ten Mile is going to be maintained by the homeowner's association? Is there a license with the parks department? Is there a license with the irrigation district? Borup: We will get that answered, too. Right now it's part of the covenants of the subdivision and it will be maintained by the irrigation district -- or by the -- maintained by the homeowner's association. ~.-.~- gi s 1 4~ tl J '>i l~+uis .s ,~ ~t3 1i '. 5'i l a..~.:.~..: I Meridian Planning & Zoning ~ • r; i,j- March 20, 2003 q,..;.

Well, in our neighborhood one lot can have a total different water table than the one next to it. So, I have only seen one plastic pipe drilled into the ground in that division -- in that subdivision area and so are we going to have standing water problems in their big area or is it going to not -- do they have enough drill -- test holes drilled to know for sure?

That was one of the things that made ~~ ~~ , = us nervous -- excuse me -- at the last hearing when this came up about going forward iY `' ~' without having more data in place. We have done modeling. We are still doing -- we ~ ~ are still doing analysis, like I said. One of the biggest hurdles we have was trying to find ~~,~_'~ ' a site for the regional lift station. We have worked together with this applicant. We think ~~ '~~ we have got it worked out. You know, things are marching forward. So, if -- to address °r~; his concern about digging streets up that are already paved, you know, if our project ~~ut'. moves forward a head o f the p hasing o r timing o f t his p roject, w e w ill b e p utting that ~~=~~~ sewer in, they will be coming along behind and building roads over the top of us. If his project goes ahead of our timing for putting the trunk line in, he is going to be putting the trunk line in underneath the roads and so the roads won't have to get tore up again. We ~~ are very conscious of that and strive to prevent that from happening, so -- Borup: Okay. I think that -- let me just -- my experience sitting here is if the Public Works Department had any question at all, the projects are delayed until there is an answer and you have been comfortable and that's -- that's always been the case. Mr. Amar. Amar: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Commissioners. Again, for the record, Kevin Amar. To answer -- I believe there are two other questions. One, irrigation, and the second the pathway. I'll answer the irrigation question first. Could I get you to put up the regional map? We met with Nampa-Meridian Irrigation District probably a month ago to go over the location of the irrigation pump station not only for this subdivision, but also for Castlebrook No. 1. It was their request -- there is an existing irrigation pump station at this location. It was Nampa-Meridian's request that we upgrade that pump station, so they only have to maintain one pump station and that would have capacity for both Castlebrook No. 1 and Castlebrook No. 2. Our water right -- both of these comes out of this lateral and we will have to the that down to that irrigation pump station or at some point into the Ten Mile Creek, so it does get to that pump station, but there is capacity for it and we are working with Nampa-Meridian Irrigation District to actually upgrade one pump station, rather than two, and that was -- or build an additional one and that was at Nampa-Meridian's request. Borup: So, it sounds like the existing pump needs to be enlarged -- needs to be upgraded and the water source that that existing pump is using would not have the capacity as it presently exists, so that's why you're diverting the water you have, the waters rights, to that same pump and that gives it the capacity for your subdivision. ~.:., ~.` ~ a: n n C r y~ ~~ n~ ~ ~ sY`^w rti 3.-ir., ~i i ~L ~ ~ t. ,. ~~ ~r ~~ ~,';;~ ~, ~~ ;r Et.

The in-take manifold, the -- well, it all has capacity, but the ~; ~-4~` water rights for this property currently coming out of this lateral are not -- and we will y;o~~~ have to divert that. That's a fairly common practice within the different irrigation "~`" districts. And we will have to upgrade pumps in order to provide the necessary sizing ~::` tt . ~ for these subdivisions. Those will be under the -- we will have to have reviewed by .::_ N~ Nampa-Meridian Irrigation District, their engineers, our engineers, the city, I believe, gets into the review of that. So, there are extensive reviews insuring that there will be `~~~,;~ capacity. We can always -- if there is not capacity, we can always build an additional pump station to provide our capacity. We do have water and we do have water rights '~ " ~ for our property. The second question with respect to the pathway maintenance -- now "`~` ,. ~:- if I can ask -- well, this will work. The pathway along the Ten Mile Creek, we will have to obtain a license agreement. That license agreement will be with Nampa-Meridian ~~-~ ,~.: Irrigation District will spell out that the homeowner's association must maintain that. Nobody, short of Nampa-Meridian Irrigation District, can change that. If a developer or builder, all the homeowners band together and want to change that in the CC&Rs they ~~ , can only do that with permission of Nampa-Meridian Irrigation District. So, the r, ~~~ maintenance of that pathway and the landscaping, all of that will be in our license ,H :.y„ agreement, and we will do it accordingly. This pathway is one that we are putting in of =a=~ our own accord. The pathway on the other side was, actually, in the city park's pathway plan and was put in and so I believe the city is maintaining that pathway or is going to ``' `~'' maintain that pathway at some point when -- I don't know what's been finalized or what hasn't, I don't know if that's all taken place. I know on our side of the property the city has no interest in maintaining a pathway just for a subdivision. That's an amenity that we wanted to provide for our residents. So, I think the license agreement is a very sure tool to insure that we do maintain that -- or the homeowner's association does after the y~.= developer is gone. I believe those were the two questions or were there others? Borup: No. Those were the two -- maybe I did write one other down. I don't know if it's a specific question, but do you know how many test holes have been monitored here? ;. Amar: I believe right now monitoring -- we are monitoring two test holes. We initially dug, I believe, ten. We located with our engineer where the low points in the ground may be and where those -- the drainage would go to and we are monitoring those "~ locations. Borup: So, you're trying to monitor the worse case of the test holes? '_-~ Amar: Yes, sir. One of the locations is right where that park is designed. Luckily, this site could lay out to where the park and the low point can -- Borup: The same place? Amar: -- be the same place. And as far as standing water, it's also one of the `~ ` conditions of approval that our site drains within 24 hours. So, I believe we are abiding 'qty ~} ~, -, ~"'^Y r."

So, I believe those are addressed in the staff report and staff can enforce any of those if they are conditions of approval. s tf Centers: Mr. Chairman, I had one other thin that was addressed in the staff report 9 J and, I don't know, maybe we jumped over it. The fire department had thought that they ~ ~ may need a secondary access, a second point of access. Is that being provided? H ' ? 4%. ~t M ~e, Amar: It is. This project is dependent on Castlebrook No. 1 being completed. In ~~ Castlebrook No. 1 we are building Pine or EI Gato. In Castlebrook 2 we will continue ~t ~~~ that and, then, we will also have connectivity from this location in Castlebrook 1 and z, here. So there is -- this works out great. We have got an area map.

Open this hearing and start with the staff report. McKinnon: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission. You should have all received a copy of the revised staff report from Steve Siddoway. Steve has gone through and made the revisions that were required from the last Public Hearing and he stated that in this -- he added a new summary to that stating that the only remaining substantive issue, in his opinion, was the hard surface pathways and whether or not those hard surface pathways entering into the dinosaur shaped common lot, whether or not they should be required to be -okay. It's a dinosaur. There are the feet. The tail is over here. It looks likes a tyrannosaurs. There are three entrances into this open space and there is some discussion as to whether or not those pathways should be just hard surface pathways or whether they should be considered as micropaths and landscaped and fenced in accordance with the landscape ordinance. There was a lot of discussion in the original application that -- I should recognize at this time Sonya Allen, who actually wrote the majority of this report. She is here tonight and this is her first time here, so we welcome her here. And if you have any questions, we could probably address those to her. There also should -- you all should have received a copy of the land consultant's letter, dated March 10th, in response to the revisions that were requested at the last Public Hearing and staff does not disagree with any of the comments from the land consultants and the staff report, as revised by Steve Siddoway, is reflective of the comments of the applicant's letter dated March 10th, so the only real issue, I guess, that we have left from actually having read the minutes and reading Steve's revised report is to whether or not those pathways going into the common lot should be considered micropaths and handled as such. The applicant has received a letter from the Nampa-Meridian Irrigation District allowing them to encroach within the ": ~, "k. ~ ~ J +} k '~1!t ~~~ t ~ ~.j,~ ,~C ': 1 ~ ~Fta h~ ~ k ~~ .~ iyy \ ~ y, T "3 [ 4 l~ + ~':' 4 l ~a ~ , - ~ i k ~F 3'.

With that I would tum the time back over to kh ,; you and ask if you have any questions of staff. H:~_. €~.~~;~~ Borup: Any questions from staff? ~~ Centers: Yes, Mr. Chairman. I guess Sonya -- Sonya Allen. Why would we even want ~'~~' to consider it as a micropath? .~,a. t __f., McKinnon: Let me address that, because I did write most of that part. In our landscape ~`` ordinance we do have comments regarding micropaths and what micropaths are. They are defined, but there is, actually, no threshold for the micropaths as to when they are s~--~` required. There is a definition for them. The definition states that they lead from one _'~`~' place to another and, typically, are between subdivisions or streets and breaking up of blocks. There was no requirement, nor threshold, or a brink, as sometimes is defined in "~"~' logic, to require one at anytime. The applicant has agreed to put in those pathways, but ~~4.~3. objects to the developer being required to install four foot fences adjacent to those and ~``'-' to install a tree every 35 feet on center in that area. Part of the reason for their "'_ opposition to that, my understanding, is that --there is the landscaping. One more -- this may show it just a little bit. On the plat that you, you can see that there is typically a seven foot wide drainage lot that runs adjacent to these small areas that lead into the park. These are between 15 --14 and 17 feet wide and seven feet of that is, actually, a ~x_,,_. depressed drainage swale. So, rather than having a large drainage swale within the -M subdivision, they put those in narrower areas and made them longer and grassed those and if they had to plant trees within that swale, it would create a problem, so they are asking that they not be considered micropaths, but they would construct them as hard surface paths, showing that there is access to the common lot. ~r Borup: Okay. Would you like to come forward, then? Nickel: Mr. Chairman and Commissioners, thank you. I do believe that is the only ~~`~' outstanding issue and it really isn't an issue. We are okay making them micropaths by 't~;' definition if you feel it's necessary. That was our concern was the drainage and the 't' ~ landscaping, because of how we have the -- as I say, the property does drain f rom southeast to northwest and so the drainage would be along the sides of the common park area and if we were required to meet the micropath standards, we are going to be `:~` limited to a pathway -- a certain size pathway with a certain size landscape on either side with trees. I think we can probably engineer around that, if you feel it's still necessary to call them micropaths, otherwise, we will provide the path -- the paving to meet that requirement, also the fencing along the portion of the paved pathway.to meet k~, ~ those requirements also. Borup: Commissioner Centers? Centers: Yes. Well, I guess I'm not big on that. The way I look at it is they are not going to connect, are they? What's behind the micropath is the connectivity to other subdivisions. Correct? f`,:~ T1 ~ jLL' ~:_ 44 t ° 4dk~ 'w :LS ~- .. .. r~~~ ~ ~ ~ 5 ~;:. ~s~~, ,~ k, ~, ~ x ~.~ Meridian Planning & Zoning i:;' March 20, 2003 ,;~, Page 25 of ti4 ~; Nickel: That's originally what we -- ,a J Centers: Primarily. And I think that's in the -- and there is no change of these "'~~ connecting. You're doing them for your own benefit and you're taking advantage of the sir drainage swales and making paths here. So, I don't see the need, personally. ;~~~; Borup: Well, I agree. And when I first saw this, I didn't even feel the necessity of paving them, but w ith t he d rainage s wale t here I think y ou're c oncentrating t he t raffic a nd i t `= makes sense, probably to pave them, but you said you were planning that anyway. Nickel: Yeah. And, originally, when we had met with Dave and staff before, we thought it was appropriate to have paving of a certain portion, so people would know -- would know, okay, I can go back there, it's a paved area that -- ~'?~ Borup: And that part makes sense, so they know there is something there. Nickel: Right. And, then, as far as the fencing, our concern is we don't want to have to -- the developer didn't want to have to fence the entire open space area. The micropath requirements requires you to fence just the pathway portion of it. So, then, it got confusing as to what portion you fence and what you don't. So, I'll leave that up to you - if you want to -- we can revise that and not call it a micropath and, then, we do the improvements that we discussed. That will be fine or -- =~:~ Borup: Well, did you ever call it a micropath? "~ Nickel: We never called it a micropath. Borup: No. I think Commissioner Centers said it very well. Centers: Well, you made that in your notes, if you drew these up, Mr. Nickel. Nickel: Yes. Centers: These will not be micropaths, by definition. "~ F~ Nickel: That's what I was proposing. Then, it kind of got confusing with everybody, so - ~W , - ;: ``; Borup: Well, I think that's the difference here. It's not a continuous path and it doesn't ~_ : go to another subdivision -- I mean the purpose is to access the park in the middle, not ' .~ break up a block length or anything else. ~.:-~. 3 Nickel: Right. And, Commission, we did get our letter from the Nampa-Meridian ,~fr Irrigation District the day after our meeting, which was surprising, so thanks for ~~~:,1 scheduling this for only the two weeks.

If we could open Item No. 10 ~''" as well, Sunshine Academy is for the same piece of property? Borup: Oh, right. It is. I was planning on doing that earlier. And, then, also Public Hearing CUP 03-006, request for a Conditional Use Permit for a childcare facility for =~~~~; approximately 30 children on the -- for Sunshine Academy and that's for that same ~~w~; ~~~,~- property. Did I say open that one? Okay. Go ahead. ~~:~, ; McKinnon: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission. If I could direct =~` your attention to the overhead, just to give you some orientation as to where this piece ;;:~; of property is. Meridian Elementary School is to the north. There is one single family ~_ residential that's sandwiched between the proposed day care and the elementary ~~ti ~~` school just to the north of that. There is small alley that runs on the east side of the proposed day care center and there is 3rd Street on the west side of the proposed day ~'` .;.: care center. The collector street, West Pine Avenue, runs across the front of the property. West Pine Avenue is an approved collector with a bike path. It does have a F'-~ - parking lane on the -- adjacent to the sidewalks. Go to the next slide. It gives you an - aerial view showing what surrounds the property is residential to the east and residential to the west. Some to the north as well, to the northwest, in addition to the elementary school site. Across the street there are some commercial properties and some ^_ residential properties. This is the proposed site plan. It doesn't come out very clear. ;~: Let me orient you to what we are looking. This dark piece of property right here is the _ -t detached two car garage. Pine Street is on the top of the project. This is the day care n . facility. It's a single family residential unit at this time. We don't have a picture of that `'" for you in the site plan, but just for your knowledge, there is a small retaining wall adjacent to the sidewalk and the property is raised. Currently it is a -- what is an alley, but currently just looks like a driveway that comes in off of Pine Street. There is a small irrigation ditch that runs along the western side of the property. It would have to be tiled -:~~ in accordance with the City of Meridian's requirements for tiling of ditches The ;~~' . applicant has proposed one, two, three parking stalls in the back of the property, in `'~~ addition to the two parking stalls for the employee parking in the detached garage, that's ~'~ a total of five parking stalls. As we get into the staff report, you will note that the parking becomes an issue several different times in the staff report. One, because there is no handicapped accessible parking stall as required by federal law in the parking lot that - _ the have ro osed. Furt hermore there is a re it u ement f r Y p p o some additional landsca e q p - buffering in this area adjacent to the one single family home sandwiched between the `~~ day care -- the proposed day care and the elementary school. I hope we have -- that's ~=`^~~ ~ the final drawing. I'm going to go to the staff report now and there is a few things I'd like to point out in the staff report, if I could have you follow with me. Under the application .::: summary, the applicant is requesting a day care for up to 30 children and the way they _~~ have arrived at that number is a number that's dictated by the state that allows one child - for every 35 square feet of usable space and that's where they came up with the ~,~ .. ; a `?~~ I~, c', t ~: a _ .. wfs; ~&~ ~: r~r~,,~~ ~~ t . ~ .. ~~; v, ,, ~~ ~, ~~ P Ss. ~Y ~ ~ ~~ ~~~k %~+E ! +( n, ~~~ r~~ .Yr ,~ ,~y v -' t`. a 4 ~'._ ;. .I Meridian Planning & Zoning March 20, 2003 Page 29 of 64 number for 30. Parking is also derived from the number of children that are allowed in a day care facility and one parking space is being required for every ten children, in addition to one parking space for every employee. The applicant has stated in their application that there would be three employees for this day care facility and, therefore, they need to have six parking spaces, only five are provided on site. Either a variance or a revised parking plan will be required for this site prior to approval. If I can direct your attention to page three, item number F, the finding for the rezone states that the findings that you have to make asks the question will the use -- will the rezone be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighboring uses. I notice that there are several people here tonight to testify in opposition of the requested rezone and the Conditional Use Permit. Please consider all of their testimony, including their written testimony that has been submitted to you. You should all have received a copy of the petition in opposition of this tonight. Please consider that when making this finding on page three. I direct your attention to page four. Item number A, as to whether or not the site is large enough to accommodate the proposed use in all yards, open spaces, parking, and landscaping. If reviewing the site plans, staff has found that the site could accommodate all of the required parking and all of the required landscaping. However, some changes will need to be made and a number of those changes are detailed further on in the report under the additional considerations regarding landscaping and parking, so -- which parking we have already discussed. Again, item number D on page five asks you to consider all testimony given at the Public Hearing, as to whether or not this proposed use will adversely affect other properties in the vicinity prior to making a recommendation for approval or denial. Again, we just ask you to take into consideration any testimony tonight. Special considerations on page six. Parking modifications. I have included a number of different options. Those are not the only options, but there are some options for providing additional parking on site. Some of those options would include providing parking behind the garage in a tandem parking arrangement with one vehicle being parked behind vehicles in the garage. The vehicles in the garage are being used for employee parking. That would allow additional vehicles t o p ark behind t he g arage, b ecause t hose v ehicles i n t he g arage w ould n of leave until after the vehicles parked behind the garage leave. There are some safety issues to consider when dealing with that, that these vehicles that park here diagonally would have to back out of the alley. This is a small alley that would not provide for two- way traffic. It's not quite wide enough for that. Typically, alleys are much smaller in width. So, that's an issue to consider. Another issue that we could deal with to accommodate additional parking would be this large unimproved area at the back of the home. Access could be taken off of 3rd Street. There is a small irrigation ditch that would have to be tiled. Additional parking could be provided off-street off of 3rd Street. There are a number of other uses, residential uses, that have access off of 3rd Street. There currently is no access off of 3rd Street to this property. It is an option that they could take a look at. Furthermore, a handicapped parking space will be required on this site plan. Alternative compliance with landscaping. The applicant has only provided a five-foot w ide I andscape b uffer. I 'm s orry. A f ive f oot w ide I andscape b uffer o n t he south side adjacent to the parking and staff can see that within rezone to the Old Town there are some allowances in the alternative compliance section of the landscape ordinance that would allow a change of use for a piece of property to have a decreased '~ ' ' Meridian Planning & Zoning March 20, 2003 -:;~:~ Page 30 of 64 ~~,;~~ amount of landscaping, but the applicant did not provide what type of landscaping would '`~w'~~ - be back here and staff would suggest that that actually be widened to include the full ; length of the property, rather than just the area adjacent to the parking, that it would be ; t , - the full length of the property, in addition to making it deeper, ten feet instead of five feet. In order to do that, one of these parking spaces would have to be eliminated and "'``' additional parking would have to be provided elsewhere on site. My written comments ~~ ~ ~ , are a little more coherent than my spoken comments, but item number three on page ~'~ ~~ seven, the sidewalk on 3rd Street Meridian City Code requires a sidewalk adjacent to ~s'~~ . . , the public right of ways. Ada County Highway District was approached to waive their ; :~~ requirement for a sidewalk and ACRD waived the requirement for the sidewalk at this s'~;~ ~ location as the only thing the sidewalk would lead to was one residential house and, r~A ~ then, into the back of a chain link fence for the elementary school site and staff agrees with ACRD that that should be waived as a requirement for this, that the sidewalk would serve very little purpose, if any purpose at all, and would very expensive. In addition to ' = ' that, the M eridian C ity C ode, Section 12-5-2-K a Ilows f or t hat t o be w aived i f t he I of ~x frontages, on average, are over 100 feet in length and that is the case for most of the properties on Pine Street, so there is a section of code to tie that to allow a waiver. As ~° ; far as the conditions of approval go, there are a few things I would like to point out to >~" you. Because this will be a change from a single family residential to an educational use, there may be several changes that are going to be required per the International ~- `" ` Building Code and the applicant would be required to meet those, in addition to the International Fire Code. And item number eight on the site specific conditions of approval, the off-street parking plan, we did require the applicant provide a new off- street parking plan prior to approval and we would rather have that brought back to you '~°~~ for approval, rather than send it on tonight to the Council without you having an 4 ':. : opportunity to review the new parking plan or the applicant could -- this is an either/or : . type of recommendation, that the applicant request a variance from the city, because `~ ' there is on-site parking -- not on-site, but on-street parking on Pine Street adjacent to this use. The recommendation is just reflective of what I have said. It does meet code ~^ ;y- ;. for the City of Meridian. There are some issues with -- I know from reading through the . opposition, there are some issues that will be raised concerning the amount of traffic on w~ Pine Street. Again, Pine Street is a collector roadway that has been built and improved to handle a large volume of traffic. It is not a local roadway, such 3rd Street, Broadway, -~~. Idaho would be. It is an improved collector street to carry the amount of traffic on that F'`~ and that's also reflective in ACHD's report. I think that concludes all of the comments that I have for you tonight and I would ask you if you have any questions of me before -~r'`~ we turn the Public Hearing back over to the public. Centers: Mr. Chairman, yes. Where does -- can you point out Sniffles 'n Sneezes? Do you remember that? F McKinnon: Yeah. I do remember. Sniffles 'n Sneezes is actually, on the other side of - Main Street. Centers: It's not on this side, but it's on Pine, isn't it? .:_ . ....--~ -r~'~' ,~ ~ w.~ tai ~,,, -tom ~.j ~ ~~~ ~^ a~e~,:~y,.i y l '.' `~; ~,. tls~~ _ t° ~.3 ,;1 ~ ~ x5.' ~~ a~ ~ a~sa,.~`~ '~ ~~*s }.~ ~x-y , ;.fir 3e. ~. j~ jY5 ',t, "'.;Y .,~ r~ Meridian Planning & Zoning ` `' ' March 20, 2003 "`~~~ Page 31 of 64 McKinnon: It's Pine and 2nd, pine and East 2nd. s: ,, , ='~ Centers: Is it correct for me to understand that it has to go to O-T zone or it wouldn't -~~~~ have -- or it wouldn't be able to do a CUP?

This would be a n o pportunity for you to explain a nything else to the t` ~f Commission that you would like on this application. { ;~ Schmeckpeper: Well -- Borup: Go ahead and state your name for the record. Schmeckpeper: My name is Merlyn Schmeckpeper, Mr. Commissioner. I think pretty r:,, much it's been covered. As you can see, the dilemma, if it can be called that, with the parking, can be resolved. As far as any other issues, I didn't really hear any that would cause any problems or concerns. Day care centers or childcare centers are also considered a good neighbor as far as neighborhood development. The city, I think, is in need of a center like this. The location is excellent, close to the center of town, easy ``~' access to highways and freeways and, as Dave's mentioned, it is on a collector street ~,: "t.~ that accommodates the traffic. We are a little bit reluctant to involve ourselves in the access to 3rd Street, because of the irrigation ditch, but, as you can see, there is 4'°'~ adequate property there and I think this can be resolved without any problem. What would like to ask you to do is judge on this tonight, allowing ourselves and the academy and the Planning and Zoning, to work out adequate and acceptable parking with the p'' Planning and Zoning Department. When these things are postponed, they not only increase your agenda, but they also cause large delays. So, I would ask you to accept z' that and allow us to work with Planning and Zoning to resolve the parking issue. ~. _ Borup: Did you have any questions or issue with any of the other -- did you have a ~,::.

To be resolved, the staff would like to have that back to us prior to the City Council meeting or you apply for a variance 1~" through the City Council. What's your preference?

Centers: Unless we see a revised plan. i °~~ McKinnon: Unless we receive a revised plan, they would actually be short, because we `~'y' need the ADA parking stall, which we don't have right now, to revise the plan to make them two short, rather than just one short. But a variance is an option that they do have Fig -~~_, and that was not discussed here at the table, because it was in the staff report and I should have talked to them about it. Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission, the variance would be for the applicant to have some on-street parking count for this -- - recognizing the Meridian City Code under the guidelines for child care facilities, one of the things that they state in child care facilities it's not tied specifically to Conditional Use ~'~~ Permits or child care centers, but also addresses the child care facilities in the ~ :x~ residential areas, that they should not have on-street parking on a collectors or arterials. t~; So, it would be fairly hard to go against code and recommend approval of the variance that says day care facilities should not have off-site loading on collectors or arterials. ll Centers: If they were to have it, it might be tough. °,- "~ Schmeckpeper: We would agree with that, too. We don't want to go for the on-street ' ~~-~' , parking. {' ~ i Centers: Yeah. I guess I wouldn't want you to either, because my kids -- you know -- ~ ~' 'i Borup: Yeah. I would agree with that.

The alley is what is planned right now. `.` `~ - ti. `~~~'~'~ Rokovitz: Correct. Okay. ;:~~` Borup: And depending on how the design comes out. a.~::.~ Rokovitz: Okay. So, right off the bat, there is a considerable increase of traffic flow `_ ` there. One of my major concerns is, granted, this is a location near schools and part of that is my big concern. I'm currently a father of two children and the kids do walk that ~. street v ery h eavily m ornings a nd a fternoons. I f y ou h ave 15 t o 2 0 c ars c oming a nd going from a single alleyway of that nature, besides the possible congestion, that's 15 to 20 cars additionally coming and going in and out of that alleyway. Borup: Is the alleyway where the -- is there access to the school site there? ~' ~,: Rokovitz: To the school site? No. The sidewalk that comes down along Pine Street on the side of the -- Borup: Okay. I think I understand. I thought maybe the school might have had a gate or a fence or something. There is a little button on the side. Rokovitz: Okay. So, the sidewalk that is actually on the side here -okay. They are ~~ actually -- I don't know if they have closed it off at this point. There was one on 2nd. Okay. That one is closed. So, at this point just the sidewalk here. Well, you have got children that live all throughout this whole area and this is one of the main feeders ~ coming down this sidewalk to all the children that do walk to school and it is fairly heavily traveled in the mornings and at nights, the kids, you know, they walk to school and walk from school and we are looking at, you know, a considerable amount of traffic, ~~~~~ potentially, coming in and out of this alleyway, which could get considerably congested as well, because it only allows for one vehicle coming or going. h' ~F{ Borup: So, the school doesn't have any access on any of the other stub streets? ~ Rokovitz: Currently right now there is a fence running solidly all along here and all alon __ ,:,. g here, which this is the actual playground area. They have limited there is one --~'='y4 access at this back corner and, then, the other accesses are right at the school area. Other than that, it is a solid fence. Borup: Where was the other access?

Okay. ~;~,: -~~ ~.;~,. Rokovitz: And, then, of course, you know, there is some over on this side and, then, -~~~~~ right here, which this is, actually, approximately, a parking lot for the school. So, the kids -~ do definitely -- you know, this is the main -- one of the main feeder routes that kids that t > ~ are walking to school do travel, my kid included. So, you know, I do have a pretty good <~~ concern about the increase in traffic flow in and out of that alleyway with the kids. Depending on how the issues are resolved, we also have, you know, potential for increased traffic here. Currently, a lot of traffic flows into here, because they think it is a through way. People just don't notice it. They come -- they come in here fairly fast and <~~, notice, oops, dead end, turn around, pull back out. Borup: Is there a dead end sign on that? Rokovitz: There is, actually, and, believe it or not, people don't read. So, that's -- and it a is a fairly small turn around there, so one car getting in there, they actually -- they cannot physically tum around. They have to go in, turn a little bit and back up, and, `;~:~ then, turn around, you can't just by just turning in one cycle. So, it is kind of a narrow `=2~, road, in and of itself. You know, I would have additional concerns about the flow. If you get even half the cars -- you know, five or ten people showing up at one time to drop kids off, which I would think would be fairly reasonable, that potentially this whole back area where the proposed lot is going to be is going to be packed This way it's going to . get congested and, then, you're looking at people will -- they will do whatever is necessary to drop their kids off, so they potentially may look at parking on the street, ~~~ coming up into 3rd, and we have already had a considerable problem in the past with congestion on 3rd Street. This opening needs to be -- there used to be a gate here, „Y which allowed for people to come and go. You know ball games soccer games during , , the summer or whatever, this was open and they, actually, closed that off, because there was such congestion, people would literally park there, block our driveways so we couldn't even get out of our driveways half the time without having to try to hunt people .'.. down or potentially even revert to more drastic means to get them to move their cars, so - we can just live. Those are just a couple of my concerns. Mainly, just the congestion and that people will do what they need to do in order to drop their kids off to get to work ~ ~~ ~ and also the fact that there is a main safety issue, I feel, due to -- due to the amount of ~~ increase in cars coming and going out, that there is not going to be any traffic crossing ~,.:~': guards here. There are no traffic lights there. There is nobody that is going to be able ~.~~~ to be doing it, other than the drivers themselves. Down here at the school crossing, of course, we do have a guard, even just across this little area to drive into their lot. I just kind of wanted to make that a concern. t,.:. - Borup: Thank you.

Now, what I did when I got the notice of -- on the rezoning is I got some signatures together, I got 12 signatures, ten of those are homeowners in the immediate area on all sides, east, west, north and south, that oppose this day care center. And afterwards I got the mail out list, in which there are 32 mail outs, people notified, and according to my calculations 12 of these are out of town addresses or out of state.

They just built a fence in it. But, anyway, I'm opposed to this, for obvious reasons. I like the residential aspect. We do have a ~~`: business across the street a few doors down, Dr. Rutz's office. I don't see too much else in that area of Pine Street that's commercial within a block or so. There might be a -- you know, a hair styling place or something like that, but it's really still a residential area and also on this application summary, which I just saw this evening, use of 3rd Street for access parking, etc. That will really create a problem, because I know you ~ '~' people have been out, probably, to look at the property, but if you have lived there like I do, you get probably 10 to 12 turn arounds a week, dead end, and all kinds of loading ,~''- and unloading and I think it would be a real problem.

Crispelle: Well, no, I don't. I'm against using 3rd Street, for the obvious reason it will y'; become parking and not just because there will be people that won't want to drive in there and they will just park on 3rd Street and we are right back to where we were when the school didn't have the fence and it was pretty bad. People just going off to the game ~' and leaving their car parked in front of my neighbor's driveways, both of them. t, ~~ Borup: No. I mean for the day care. ~. Crispelle: Yeah. Do I see a problem in using 3rd Street? Is that what you're asking? Borup: Well, I think that would help the traffic situation. ~`~ Crispelle: Well, no, I think it would make it worse, because people are going to do what they are going to do.

The problem I have with this going in there --Ihave been fighting ACHD -- I bought this house -- I was a partner as a -- I was originally going to use it as an investment and _~ _~~ after living in the neighborhood for awhile, 1 decided I'm going to turn around and fix it ~_ ~~ up and sell it, but I couldn't sleep nights. I committed myself to make it a safer f .~ neighborhood. It's absolutely nuts down here. From this street -- from this area right a ,~ here you literally have, I kid you not, hundreds of moving violations a day. If you drive 25 miles an hour down the street, you're going to have people tailgating you. What they are doing is they are coming down this street and they are cutting through here, they are going down here, they are cutting like this, they are going all different ways in here. Yesterday one of my neighbor's kids, a car came cutting down this street right here, ~~,=~-~~` came right around, missed him by five feet. In this neighborhood right here alone, not ~''~'~~ ~ ~ even counting my two kids, there is probably at least 15 kids that live right in there.

This intersection here, you have constant traffic backed up. They are going around each other, which, as we know, is illegal, and you have people going down this street here, which is 25 miles an hour -- how do you guys keep that so steady? But, anyway, going down here, they are going 35, 40 miles an hour, they are cutting back here to get back on there, and it's the same thing that's going in here and it's this -- what I'm talking to ACHD is I want four way stops all the way down here and I want speed bumps down there, a total of 18 stop signs I'm working on. I'm meeting with them again tomorrow for like the 6th time. Borup: On Idaho you're talking about? Price: O h, I'm talking about -- yeah, I want them on Idaho and o n B roadway, even though Idaho is the one that really affects myself. But this is just -- it's just as bad down here. It's incredible that -- until this road -- and I talked to Dave about this. Until this road goes south one way and this one goes north one way, it is going to continue to just back up and you can sit out here and you can go out there -- I went out there with a video, because I was going to send it to the Mayor. I had that thing so filled up full of cars within 15 minutes it was a joke and it made absolutely no sense when I reran it and ran it back. It's just it would be -- if you go in and you allow this to happen, I figure you're going to have as many as 100 to 150 trips going back and forth here and this is going to be increased -- the backing up of cars going -- and they are just going to force more cars coming in here. I'm purely here just for the traffic. I can appreciate somebody trying to start a business to make a better life for themselves, but at the expense of the neighborhood back here, whether they are renters or not -- and, you're quite right, the house back here was sold and closed within the last couple of weeks. But it is primarily renters living back in there. You have a lot of apartment complexes back in here and what they are doing is they are just -- it's not meant for this. When they put apartments back in there and the paths, in my opinion, they are making mistakes. These roads are not meant for that type of traffic. And if they'd just put stop signs, for instance, here, just on these streets, it won't work, because it's just going to continue to just go down and just scoot it right back in there. And if you're going to allow them to have this come in here, it's going to back this up. You will see from Meridian sometimes backed up to here at 5:00 o'clock and I suppose you drive out of here, you know, if you're living over here and you see the same thing and what they are doing is -- it just goes on and on and on. For some reason on this side of town they don't understand you have to yield to the right. You go to this side of town over here, you go back on those streets back there, it's just like the north end of Boise, people yield to the right, but for some reason -- I tried to get ACRD to put a sign up there, yield to the right. They don't make such a sign. The guy says at the last meeting I had, says you want me to put 18 stop signs up? Igo, yes, if that's what it takes to safe these kids' lives, it's going to happen. But you can go out there, there is no place for these kids to play, you put apartments upon apartments back in there, there are no parks in there, these kids are playing in the street and that's the way it works. They play in the alleys and they play in the streets and that's what it comes down to. If you allow this to happen, you're just going to add to the problem that's going on in there. And this is a big bottleneck that you had.

I think she's coming. O'Toole: Good evening, my name is Sharon O'Toole and I am one of the applicants for the Conditional Use Permit for this property and I would like to address some of the i ~,~~`~, concerns that I have heard. I'm hearing that there are many, many children in that ~'~~' neighborhood and our intention is to be a good neighbor. Our intention is to provide a '`~' place for some of those children to be. We talked about the traffic on -- w e live on f~:~: Rosehan, which is just on the other side of Linder Road. We live in that Merrywood addition there, and I come u p a nd d own Pine Street every day on my way to work. There is traffic there and there is traffic every day, but I have driven by that house -- we have been contemplating this for months and I have driven by the house every single day going to work and coming home from work and I have never seen tons of ', congestion in front of the building. Not ever. We talked about traffic flow and you h: mentioned the exact time that we were talking about it, coming into the alley, arranging the parking along the back of that property against the landscaping and providing -' egress onto 3rd Street, which leaves an even flow so there is no backing up and there is ; - no -- no confusion about getting in and out of the property. This is a very small facility in ~ terms of a day care center. Thirty children is a very small facility. It is intended to be a good pre-school, a school that focuses on pre-reading and pre-cognitive skills and we expect to set standards for parents.

Yes. Sharon OToole. =x~~ ~~~`F Centers: O'Toole? Thirty children? ', ~'~~ I O'Toole: Thirty children is our estimate at this point, based on the square footage that we measured. We are not sure exactly what the licensing people will say about the ' ~~;~ kitchen area, because it's very open and there is -- there is a lot of space there and we ! ;,~,, are probably going to use part of that space. Not as classroom space, but it's going to .-x~y,- be a dining area and that is considered space that children use. Cooking space is not considered space that the children can use. So, I don't know exactly where they are ` 'r going to draw the line there. So, I'm expecting the licensing to come in the area of -- I'm guessing between 28 and 32. I think 32 is probably the max that we would be licensed for, so -- j `~~< ~ Centers: Well, if we do a max, it's going to be a max. If we do a max of 30, that's -- you ~~; know. O'Toole: Okay. Well -- ~ Centers: There is not going to be any -- O'Toole: There is a state agency that licenses pre-schools and this will be a licensed `' ~' pre-school and they -- they physically come in and review the space and determine `~"` what space they consider usable by the children. ,~~~. Centers: Yeah. We covered that. But do you intend to have children in the morning -- some children in the morning, different children in the afternoon? ' O'Toole: We are -- the hours that we expect to be open are 6:30 to 6:00 p.m. and, typically, most children begin to arrive at school between 7:30 and 8:30. That's the time that most people drop their children off and go on to work for a full day. I have run -~~~~ several pre-schools and most of the time they are open at 6:30, but most of the time there is nobody there at 6:30. That's just for the occasional parent who needs those ``~ early h ours. And there m ay b e one or two o r t hree c hildren t here a t t hat hour, but, typically, not much.

X,. - O'Toole: Sure. ,. j~ Centers: Okay. .; z " McKinnon: Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission, the applicant, when ~' ~- determining the number of children to be cared for during the day and, then, they way -:~ :_ ~:~~~~~;~ the definition is written, it's written for determining the type of child care facility and for a commercial child care facility you can have more than 12 children throughout the day. ~` ~`< Let me read to you the way it's worded and I will have some comment, if needed. It ~ '•_~• ° ~ should be noted that in determining the type of childcare facility that is being operated, ` the total number of children cared for during the day and not the number of children at "'' `" the facility at any one time is determinative. So, what that basically means is that when 1-=~ we are dealing with a family childcare home, five or fewer, Mr. Centers, you're correct in :~~"; your definition. If we are dealing with group child care homes, that's for six to 12 ~'"~'~'` children throughout the day, that applies to your definition. When we are dealing with -~ childcare centers with more than 12, that definition does not necessarily apply to that, ~I ~, ~~~.,.>;' because you're allowed to have as many children above and beyond 12 as you, as a `~= ; Commission, deem is appropriate. If you'd like to place a condition saying no more than s~':;' 30 throughout the day cumulative, rather than just 30 -- it's up to you, but it does not ~~;Ft, necessarily apply to -- y„}' Centers: Right. And that's what I'm leading up to, because that is -- that dictates the ..~, number of trips. McKinnon: Correct. The vehicle trips are tied at just over four vehicle trips per day per i kid. ,r ~ Centers: Is that what you -- I was looking for it, four per day per kid? '::~, McKinnon: It's, actually, just a little bit more than four per day per kid. ;`=~ Borup: You're dropping off and, then, leaving and picking up and leaving? That's the four?

I drop my child off, I'm leaving, that's trip number two; is that what you're saying? Borup: That's how ACRD counts it. O'Toole: Okay. There is a difference between what is called a home day care, which is what he was describing, day cares that are allowed to have five or fewer children, and a commercial day care and we are talking about commercial regulations -- regulations and commercial license. Okay. So, there is a distinction there. Like I say, in terms of day care facilities, this is one of the -- this is about as small a commercial facility as you will see. Any other questions? Centers: So -- and you can stay there. Staff, we can put whatever conditions we like, regardless of the state license? I think Mrs. O'Toole keeps referring to the state may allow 32. If we want to put a max at 32 and a max at 30 customers, we can do that. McKinnon: That's correct. Centers: Correct. So, you understand that? O'Toole: I understand. I understand. Centers: Okay. I guess we override can state. Can you believe that? O'Toole: Sure. I can believe that. Borup: It's because it's a conditional use, so that would be a condition. Centers: Do you know the use of the property prior to -- or right now or just prior? O'Toole: I believe it's being used as a residence. At this point it's being rented.

Definitely. No, it ~~'~ has never been, during my ownership, which has been approximately three and a half F, ,~<: i years. I think if you talk to the neighborhood over there, because I have had comments ' ^`~ from many of them, prior to my purchasing that property it was a mess. I think that ' ;''-,r there is many of you that have driven by in the last few years and you can see that it is ~'~~ now a presentable piece of property. That's the way we keep all of our properties. So, I .;: { think it was an addition to the neighborhood, an upgrade, if I please. We purchased it and cleaned it up and presented it as it's presented today. .. `ti Centers: It's presently a rental? 'F; .. >. '~„ Schmeckpeper: It is presently a single family dwelling rental. ;' M ~~` '": Centers: Uh-huh. '.~~ari ' Schmeckpeper: It has never been anything else in my ownership.

'~ ~' Schmeckpeper: And we will be responsible for whatever conditions have to be taken care of in the property, as far as the parking lot and things like that, bringing them up to code. Another issue I'd like to address -- and I'm sure you folks are aware of this. 3rd Street is now a dead end street.

Thank you very much. ~ r :,: ~~:<- Borup: Thank you. Commissioners, do we have some discussion? ~'~~~ Rohm: Well, I'd like to ask staff a question, if I could? The designation of Old Town, '~'`'' which this piece property of falls within that area; correct? ~~:; 3 ~~ ~ aj McKinnon: That's correct. -:~ Rohm: At the time that that was developed, was the logic so that you could bring in °~ ~". hI1SInPR~PC of Chic tuna by tha+ rlafinitinn'] Ien't thafi what tha raaenn fnr Curl Tn~ein ~eiac ~] all about? ~' McKinnon: Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission, Commissioner Rohm, I, .~ : ~' actually, did address that specifically in the staff report. I don't need to refer to that. But the ability of changing the use in the Old Town is something that was brought up in the b, .~y Comprehensive Plan and that was part of the intended use of the Old Town zone is for the redevelopment of existing single family to other uses, other than single family ~,~: residential. .~ >; ~' ~,~' Borup: Didn't the last Comprehensive Plan increase the boundaries of Old Town, though? McKinnon: Mr. Chairman, Members o f the Commission, t he Comprehensive Plan is ~,`~ right over there, I will just -- there is a large brown area and it, actually, made the Old *~ Town area much larger. Again, when you're dealing with the Comprehensive Plan, we are dealing with a future land use, rather than existing land use. The current zoning for t~'L the property is R-4. Upon receiving the request for annexation, we had to look to the i ~~~~' Comprehensive P Ian map t o s ee w hat the future z oning d esignation for t he property should be and at the time of the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan, it was felt that it should be Old Town zoned. Borup: Has it always been R-4 since -- I mean not always, I guess since -- the other lots around it don't look large enough to comply with an R-4 zone. This lot is, but a majority of them don't. McKinnon: Mr. Chairman -- Borup: I'm not saying that -- oh, wait a minute, here are the boundaries. Yeah. It looks like most of them are probably 60 -- 60 foot lots, aren't they? This one is 120. Okay. y So, half the lots would not meet an R-4 zone standard. ~"F I ~;: _ ', ,_t , , .tr ,,. f ~. ~~` ~~ s a` •~.y~ Y ~- r+S ~t{r.(j f~l^ i ~ ~~~ ~ 3f 4:~ ~.r ~ ~~ r. ~.:' ~~~;, ~ ~~ r ~~~~ ~ ~ ,. ~f~~t i ~.F~ a.v I 4,` t R sµyl '~ -,~^ ~t«JG`y ...A ~~F! ~ - FFFF » # c ~.~~., ~ ~ aC c~ ~ l tF ~~ a t ~5~'3i p~ v ~ ~ ~~~ lµ ~ ~. ~ ~1 s 9 -~S,t d R~y ~<y _ ~~b~'~^l ~`~ ~ xFs> ~.~~ i4~Z~ ~~_ ,:~ ;i; _ _ ~~- ~; yY V`,Ce s r a ~ ~~ 4 '~ ~1"3 7 ,S ~7 Sle~ P'." ~~~~~, dN ~4~W~' lig (~~y'~ i.

Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission -- -'''`~ Borup: I mean the lots that -- go ahead. `~:y-~, McKinnon: Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission, when they determined the Old ~= ~_'_x Town boundaries for the new Comprehensive Plan, they, essentially, looked at the ,~~;~4~ original township of Meridian and set that aside as the area to be part of Old Town and `` ~''~` that's where they came up with the kind of odd shape that the Old Town has on the new Comprehensive Plan map. When this was developed, it wasn't developed to today's R- ,'_' 4 standards and so it was developed to different standards that were adopted at the y time this was developed. :°t ~~ Borup: So, that originally was designated R-4. McKinnon: It was designated as something before it was R-4, just like all the rest of the ,~ Old Town was designated as something before we had -- Borup: They didn't have zoning, then. McKinnon: That's correct. We didn't have the R-4 zoning. It may have been an R zone. >~ Borup: I was just wondering why it's called R-4 now. F ~` McKinnon: Probably because that was what was the closest fit at the time when they -- they just tried to shoe horn it into the R-4 zone. ~~' Borup: It doesn't sound like it was the closest fit. McKinnon: R-8 may have been more appropriate. Borup: Yeah. I guess it doesn't really matter. I don't know why I brought that up, but it just seemed an oddity to me that most of the lots are 7,000 feet or less or, in that range, why it was even zone R-4. Okay. Did that answer your question, Commissioner Rohm, on -- Rohm: Well, I guess it did. I guess my point was -- is if, in fact, you have a designation of Old Town and this would be one of the things that could be -- the property could be used for within that definition of Old Town, it almost seems like it falls within the intent when Old Town was created. That was where I was going. Borup: Well, I think it does. Maybe the difference here is this is more on the perimeter, it's more on the periphery of what the -- you know, previously it was referred to as Old Town. But it sounds like the present Comprehensive map plan boundaries of Old Town :~=~ was, actually, the old town, hence the name? <.~d:,~ i S~; ¢;tf ~ •~ ~r v a }~~l~,~l .k h/ ~w N, ~,,. } ~~ ~ .r f,.. }'},s-- ' may,,. ~~. ~ ~' ~ fi,~ :~~• q~ tk 5 ~~ ~ 5~~~ Ali Y- y f~~ X ~_ ~(_- 3t " 8 ~~~~C7 ~~i~ jp ~ .,Fs ~~ :, rat .•g ~¢ +. };i~a7, ~. ~ , A ~''~ I } i~ , y~ h;~ t4~?~+ f .~~ .

A fence as °'~`h part of the buffer may be helpful in reducing noise, in addition to the additional landscaping. «__=~ Centers: There is just a four foot fence there now, isn't there, Dave? E McKinnon: I went out and visited the site and -- correct me if I'm wrong -- '~~ Centers: Well, I think I read that on this schematic. :~,:,~ ;, ~,, , ;y~: McKinnon: I think it's a chain link fence; is that correct? Or is it a solid fence? A wire }%v fence of some sort? ;'~ Borup: So you're saying a solid six foot -- McKinnon: That's another option that you have for increasing the buffer and that may r- be something that you might consider in addition to the additional landscaping. Centers: Well -- and just a comment to the applicant's Conditional Use Permit. ~~ Conditional. I mean it's not cart blanche. And, then, you know, you apply for the permit ;.; and you want a lot of exceptions, that doesn't fly too well. A 20-foot buffer, you want ~~'` five. You can't ask for a lot of concessions when you're asking for a conditional permit. That's my view. The city has certain ordinances and they like them followed and, then, to ask for exceptions sometimes doesn't cut it, so -- Borup: Well -- and another question is how much time? Was that discussed with the staff? Okay. How much time does the applicant think you'd need to go through those -;p items? Okay. He said probably the middle of next week. So, I guess our earliest meeting would be available -one option would be the April 3`d.

But -- and maybe it needs both. You're saying that also to increase the `~ _'`~~ maximum block length would also be another area of discussion? j yx~; McKinnon: Yeah. Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission, I'm actually working on >~~~~_~ that and a couple of the issues that we have in the Comprehensive Plan suggest that we have maximum block lengths of 300 feet in our neighborhood centers, but our own `'' Planning and Zoning ordinance says no more than 500 and so we need to get those two _ back into agreement with each other.

I'd welcome them. r~~~„ Borup: And I'm not sure what I feel on that exact length, but it doesn't, to me, make ~`'~'` sense to calculate on the back of the lots.
