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. The approved landscape/site plan is not to be altered
without prior written approval ofthe Planning Department. No field changes to landscape plan permitted; prior
written approval of all material changes is required. Prior to final inspection and sign off for this project, a
written certificate of completion shall be submitted to the Planning Department, prepared by a landscape
architect, landscape designer or qualified nurseryman responsible for the landscape plan upon completion of
the landscape installation. The Certificate of Completion shall verify that all landscape improvements,
including plant materials and sprinkler installation, are in substantial compliance with the approved landscape
plan.

converted from a residential use to a commercial use for a specialty retail shop.

the existing trees prior to construction. Any severely damaged tree must be replaced in compliance with UDC
11 -3B -10-C.5.
Parking: The proposed parking areas shall be paved and striped in accordance with UDC 11-3C and
comply with the landscaping requirement in UDC 11-313-8. Project engineer/architect shall certify that the
number and size of handicap -accessible spaces conforms to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Lighting: Lighting shall not cause glare or impact the traveling public or neighboring development and
comply with lighting standards as defined in UDC 11-3A-11.

changes must be made to the site plan to accommodate the ACHD requirements, a new site plan shall be
submitted to the City of Meridian Planning staff for approval prior to the issuance of a building permit.

Occupancy. All changes in occupancy need to comply with the requirements of the Building Department. It is
unlawful to use or occupy any building or structure until the Building Official has issued a certificate of
occupancy. A certificate of occupancy or temporary certificate of occupancy is obtained from the Building
Department (208) 887-2211 after inspections are complete and the field inspection record is returned to the
Building Department.

"Approved" on December 18, 2007, are not to be altered without prior written approval of the Planning
Department. No significant field changes to the site or landscape plans are permitted; prior written approval of

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.

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.
If you have any questions, please feel -free td contact me at (208 387-6177.
