CERTIFICATE OF ZONING COMPLIANCE'S Date: December 18 2007 Project Name/Number: The Yarn Shoppe — CZC-07-226 (ALT -07-018) Owner: Robert Hanson Site Address: 127 E. State Avenue Proposed Use: Specialty retail within the existing house Zoning: O -T Comments: Conditions of Approval: Project is subject to all current City of Meridian ordinances. The issuance of this CZC does not release the applicant from any previous requirements of the other permits issued for this site. Alternative Compliance: The applicant has requested alternative compliance from the parking lot landscaping requirements. The UDC requires a minimum 5 foot wide (50 square foot planter island) adjacent to the ends of parking stalls. The applicant has complied with the is requirement on the east side of the parking lot and as a alternative to the code; a 28 sq. ft. planter was installed in the south west comer of the parking lot with shrubs and a 32 sq. ft. planter was installed along the southern wall of the existing garage with the appropriate groundcover. However no trees were planted in either of the above mentioned planters due to the proximity of one planter adjacent to the existing garage and the other adjacent to the alley. With a combined total of the 60 sq. ft. of planters, the applicant has provided a sufficient alternative to the parking lot standards and exceeded the minimum size requirement of the planters by 10 square feet. The existing driveway is also to serve as parking for the subject site. Staff redlined on the submitted site/landscape plan to plant trees along the western property boundary adjacent to the tandem parking stalls (existing driveway). The applicant states that the landscape width along the western property line is approximately 16 inches wide and is not suitable to plant the required trees. The applicant has also indicated that existing trees are located on the adjacent property that will provide the coverage and shade for the tandem parking stalls. Staff is supportive of this request as there is an existing driveway and the width of the existing planter strip does not meet code to support the planting of trees. It is important to note that existing mature trees front this site (approximate total caliper inches: 20 inches); any removal ofthese trees in the future shall require replacing the trees in accordance with UDC -11-3B-10. The Planning Director has reviewed the applicant's request and approved the request as submitted on December 18, 2007. Landscaping/Site Plan: The Landscape/Site .Plan prepared by Robert Hansen, dated October 2, 2007 is approved (stamped "Approved" on December 18, 2007 by the Meridian Planning Department) with the following redlines: 1) The applicant shall construct a 5' wide (50 square foot minimum) landscape planter adjacent to the ADA parking stall located along the western boundary. Said planter shall include one 2" caliper tree and be landscaped and constructed in accordance with UDC 11-3B-8. 2) Four additional 2" caliper trees shall also be planted along the western and eastern side of the property and one additional 2" caliper shall be planted in the planter island adjacent to parking stall labeled P1. 3) Provide a wheel stop for the ADA parking stall.

Watertower Lane Meridian Idaho 83642 RE: Alternative compliance —127 E State Ave To whom it may concern, At issue are the six trees that are required to be planted. (Refer to plat map). 1. This tree is in and works fine in the area specified. 2. There is not room for a tree in this spot as there is only eleven feet from the building to the property line, and the neighbors don't want a tree to block their afternoon sun. 3. A tree in this spot would again block the afternoon sun from the neighbors and the morning sun from the front room of the Yarn Shoppe, and when fully mature would block the street view of the property, and would partially obstruct the Yarn Shoppe sign in the front yard. 4. There is not room to plant any thing in this spot as only sixteen inches separate the cement driveway from the property line and the neighbor will not allow a tree to be planted on her land. 5. There is already a tree in this spot but just on the neighbors land. 6. Not enough room to plant a tree here, as the power lines would be in the way, and it would be to close to the alley. Also at issue is the 50 sq.ft. planter on the east side of the parking lot, as there is not enough room to have more than 28 sq.ft. A 32 sq.ft. planter on the north east side of the parking lot will be added, d a total f 7 ornamental shrubs and 1 tree will be planted in the 3 planter areas unding the parking lot.

City Clerk Office Subject: MCZC-07-226 The Yarn Shoppe 127 E. State Ave. In response to your request for comment, the Ada County Highway District (ACHD) Planning Review staff has reviewed the submitted application and site plan for the item referenced above. It has been determined that there are no site specific requirements for you at this time due to the fact that all street improvements exist. If the site plan or use should change in the future, ACHD Planning Review will review the site plan and may require improvements to the transportation system at that time. Prior to final approval you will need to submit construction plans to the ACHD Development Review Department to insure compliance with the conditions identified above or for traffic impact fee assessment. This is a separate review process that requires direct plans submittal to the Development Review staff at the Highway District. A traffic impact fee will need to be assessed by ACHD and will be due prior to the issuance of a building permit. Contact ACHD Planning & Development Services at 387-6170 for information regarding impact fees. Prior to the construction or installation of any roadway improvements (curb, gutter, sidewalk, pavement widening, driveways, culverts, etc), a permit or license agreement must be obtained from ACHD.
