REQUIREMENTS: VARIANCE
Attach a site plan showing all details of the proposed development. Complete the
following questions and return with the application.
What is intended to be done on or with the property?
To construct and operate a new facility for Tri-City Meats, Inc. Primary use to be
meat processing and storage.
2. What special conditions and circumstances exist which aze peculiaz to the land,
structure, or building involved and which aze not applicable to other lands, structures,
or buildings in the same district?
The current interpretation of the ordinance by Planning and Zoning staff requires us
to provide a landscaping scene that is inconsistent with the surrounding azea.
3. Why will a literal interpretation of the provisions of this ordinance deprive you of
rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the terms of
this ordinance?
The ordinance as it is currently written seems open-ended and subject to
interpretation. Our request is to install a landscape theme consistent with the
surrounding azea (construction under this ordinance) and appropriate to the light
industrial zone.
4. What special conditions or circumstances exist that were not a result of your actions?
Section 2-414 of the ordinance deals with design standards for off-street pazking.
Therein, the azeas dealing with landscaping and screening aze vague. Where and
when screening is required, definitions of pavement, etc. aze not cleazly defined. The
current interpretation seems to far exceed that which has been required for similaz
uses in the azea under the same ordinance.
5. Why will the granting of this Variance not confer on you any special privilege that is
denied by this Ordinance to other lands, structures, or building in the same district?
We aze not requesting any special privilege, rather we aze requesting the ordinance be
interpreted appropriately and consistently with the light industrial zone and adjacent
properties designed and constructed under the same ordinance.

ITEM #5: TABLED DECEMBER 6, 1994: VARIANCE REQUEST BY JRN LLC:
Kingsford: Council members questions about that? I have been advised that the issue last
meeting was there proper notification. Apparently that was not the case so we need to
dispense with that and have it renoticed.
Morrow: That is for the variance request?
Kingsford: Right, there was dispute as to whether one of the property owners or more
were notified. Research found that they were not. What is the proper action, not to deny
is it? To dispense with?
(Inaudible)
Crookston: I think that you could table until proper notice has been given and an additional
hearing held.
Morrow: So moved
Yerrington: Second
Kingsford: Moved by Walt, second by Max to table until proper notice has been given the
request for variance by JRN and LLC and a new public hearing held, all those in favor?
Opposed?
MOTION CARRIED: All Yea
Kingsford: That date certain is not required there Counselor, that just has to be until it has
been properly noticed?
Crookston: Yes it is because there is a determination (inaudible).

GREENS SUBDIVISION BY BRIGHTON CORPORATION:
Kingsford: Council members prepared to deal with that? Counselor, would you be
interested in describing the situation to the council.
Crookston: Yes, at the meeting on the 15th of December the special meeting, I presented
a motion a draft motion to the Council. I felt that there was, we should not have made a
motion at the prior meeting because we needed more time to think about and set forth. I

ITEM #26: PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE FOR TREASURE VALLEY
BUSINESS CENTER BY JRN LLC:
Kingsford: At this time I will open that public hearing and invite the owner or his designee
to speak first.
Steve Wurtz, 208 South State, Nampa, was sworn by the City Attorney.
Wurtz: I guess I would like to begin by giving a brief history of what has got us to this
point. I would like to thank you for the opportunity to be heard (End of Tape) and in that
time we have enjoyed very much working together with this family owned and operated
business. And really what we are doing is transforming a dream into a reality. As Director
of Design for Hanson Rice we are design build firm located in Nampa it has really been an
honor and privilege to work with.Tri-City Meats. Two years ago they came to us with a
need, their business for 2 generations located in Eagle had enjoyed modest growth and
they needed to make some changes to allow that growth to continue in the future. They
chose us because of our extensive background in design and construction and state of the
art controlled environment facilities. With that the monumental task began of space
planning, site selection and equipment layout, Federal and USDA permitting and site
• •

development. The site was finally selected in West Valley Business Park in the City of
Meridian. This site above all others offered good accessibility, improvements with utilities
in place and a community that truly interested in bringing this new business and job
opportunity to the City. Of course that was evidenced by the Chamber of Commerce
involvement and the Mayor's involvement. I guess the issue that we are addressing
tonight is landscaping. I know that the City has addressed these issues numerous times
in the past and that there are efforts being made to change some of the ordinance
language. I guess our goal has been engaging the service of a landscape professional
experiencing the area to prepare landscape plan. The individual that we chose met that
criteria by our definition and actually designed and installed the landscaping of the
adjoining properties for Ida-Tran which everyone seems to agree is a well done and an
attractive site. Our landscaping plan was created with the following objectives, there are
3. First to meet the City's ordinance as best could be defined, the second was to prepare
a scheme that was consistent with Ida-Tran and that would compliment both sides. And
the third was to create an aesthetically pleasing and safe site for the intended light
industrial use. I guess to get to the point, our variance really boils down to 2 issues, the
first one having to do with the easement on the front property and the second concerning
the quantity and caliber of trees. What I have here, I guess I have a couple of things that
I would like to make available if I might. One is an enhanced, slightly enhanced site plan.
Really the only difference between this one and the one that was submitted with the
variance request is that the re-cap in the variance request was in error and we have just
re-done that and then we have highlighted the area we would consider landscaping in
green. Along with that it has some pictures of the adjoining property I guess just for
clarification to give you an idea of what we are after. This is the Ida-Tran project directly
adjacent. Again, we have really only 2 issues. The first one is the easement up front and
in that colored drawing you can see there is a 30 foot easement that runs along the front
of our property. I guess the property is owned by Tri-City Meats, they pay taxes, maintain
and develop that property. It runs within 7 foot of the back of the curb. Our intent would
be to landscape from the back of the curb to a point 42 into the property. The only
question or issue at this point is whether that easement area can be considered as part
of our landscape area required to make the 10°~. As you can see from the recap with the
easement area included we are about 13% of the developed area. So, again the first issue
is we really would like to include that easement as our landscape area. Giving us a 42 foot
setback frontage of landscaping. And then the second one concerns the quantity and
caliper of the trees, we would like you to at least consider the 1 1/2 inch caliper tree which
is consistently done in Ada County and the City of Boise. Our plan that we are submitting
shows 22 trees spaced aesthetically around the frontage. They are spaced so that the
trees vwuld allow for growth. We have been asked to provide 37 that really crowds them
and block the building, it does not fit the landscape plan. The 22 trees would really match
the adjoining properties from what I understand there are some additional properties going
in across the road. Really, I guess that is what it boils down to, that is what our issue is.

I would be open to any questions you might have.
Kingsford: Any questions of the Council?
would like to offer testimony on this issue?
does the Council have questions of staff?
Thank you, anyone else from the public that
Seeing none I will close the public hearing,
Morrow. Shari, could you elaborate on your comments in terms of the 3 inch caliper trees
and the number of trees and those types of things.
Stiles: Well, basically that is our landscape ordinance along with the 10% being for a
planned development. As far as the easement is concerned I would have no problem with
including that as part of the 10% provided I get a plan that I can approve that has also
been approved by Settlers. I don't want to approve something in their easement that is
going to cause them problems.
Morrow. Settlers as in Settlers Irrigation?
Stiles: Yes, the surrounding property owners are quite concemed that this is not going to
come up with what has been done in the-past there with the nice sodded areas it is very
nice for an industrial development.
Kingsford: Other questions Mr. Morrow?
Morrow. No, maybe a comment from Shari, in our packet there is a letter from Tom Wright
who was the developer or I guess originally was a representative of the developer and is
now the owner. He seems to indicate that some of these issues were addressed in the
CC&R's that were written for phase 1. And the folks that are asking for the variance
should have been aware of these requirements when they purchased the lot is that not
correct? .
Stiles: They had copies of the covenants they were aware of that.
Kingsford: Counselor, have you reviewed Jim R. Johnson's letter? Item 3 with regard to
improper notice?
Crookston: I just read it. If a property owner within 300 feet has not been sent notice it just
causes the whole process to be defective and we need to start over if that in fact is the
case.
Kingsford: So the list that we got for notification then, we don't know whether they were
noticed.
Meridian City Council
December 6, 1994
Page 38
Crookston: I don't know.
Kingsford: Do you have a list of those mailings?
(Inaudible)
Kingsford: They were not noticed? Any other questions for the staff while he searches
that? He is saying from recollection they were not noticed. Are they in fact now the
owners of record, I assume since they are doing side work?
Crookston: I don't know.
Kingsford: Who obtained the list for us to notice? Are you familiar with the parcel that we
are talking about?
(Inaudible)
Kingsford: Would you state your name for the record please?
(Inaudible)
Kingsford: Is this the list that you received? If this is the list that you submitted, it does not
include them, Mr. Berg is saying this is the list you gave us. It includes Tom Wright Real
Estate, Ida-Tran, Yellow Freight Systems, City of Meridian.
(Inaudible)
Kingsford: The list from the post office that we did notify these people is just this list that
you provided us. So you are saying Counselor that in order to act on it we would have to
re-notice this, give them notification?
Counselor: If they are the titled owner and if they are within 300 feet.
Kingsford: I would assume that they are within 300 feet. So the issue is whether or not
they are the titled owner.
Crookston: That is correct. There would be a titled owner of the property.
Kingsford: That would most likely be Tom Wright if it is not them and he was noticed.
Crookston: Our ordinances require to notify the titled owners as shown by the list from the
Meridian City Council
December 6, 1994
Page 39
assessors office.
Kingsford: And that is the list that they gave you within 300 feet that I have here?
(inaudible)
Kingsford: You took~that from that list is what 1 am asking? How did you obtain this list?
(Inaudible)
Morrow. Mr. Mayor, pending confirmation of who the titled owner is and the procedure to
get there it appears to me that if we have correct notification then we can proceed on with
the variance request. If wee don't have correct notification then the variance request cannot
proceed on until proper notification. My recommendation is that we table this pending
resolution of the notice issue and then once that is resolved either it comes off the table
and continues on the variance process if the notice was done correctly or the variance
process starts over with proper notification.
Kingsford: Make that in the form of a motion (inaudible).
Morrow: So moved
Yerrington: Second
Kingsford: Moved by Walt, second by Max to table the request for variance by JRN LLC
pending the research of notification of deed of property owners, all those in favor?
Opposed?
MOTION CARRIED: All Yea
Kingsford: The ball is in your court, you need to find out who owns that and let us know.
You need to legally get a list from the Assessor's office, they have the deeded owners and
they can give you that. Areal estate sign doesn't cut it we have to have the owner of
record.
Yerrington: Mr. Mayor, I move fora 5 minute break.
Morrow: Second
Kingsford: All those in favor? Opposed?

MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning &~ n ~ mission, Mayor and Council

FROM: Shari L. Stiles, Planning & Zoning Administrator
DATE: December 2, 1994
SUBJECT: Variance Application for Tri-City Meats
COUNCIL MEMBERS

ROBERT D. CORRIE

Planner 8 Zoning Administrator
JIM JOHNSON
Chairman -Planning & Zoning
Hansen-Rice is seeking a variance from the landscape requirements of the Meridian Zoning and
Development Ordinance. The requirements of the Ordinance, although not spelled out in the
application, include one 3" caliper tree for every 1,500 feet of paving and 10% of the gross land
area as common open space. I believe Hansen-Rice is doing the Tri-City Meats projects as a
turnkey project, and the required changes are costs they did not plan for in their bid. The
primary problem is that no steps were taken prior to submitting building plans to ensure City
Ordinances were incorporated into the plans.
Treasure Valley Business Center was approved as a PUD. City Ordinance requires that all
PUD's have a minimum 10% of the site as open space. This is reinforced by the fact that the
covenants for the subdivision also require 10% of the site. Architectural review of all building
plans is required for this subdivision by the Architectural Control Committee. Tom Wright has
asked if the City could require developments within this subdivision to be stamped as approved
by their Architectural Control Committee prior to accepting building permits. Although I have
asked Hansen-Rice on numerous occasions to submit the plans for approval by the Architectural
Review Committee, they have totally disregarded this request.
The application claims as part of their reason for the variance that the adjoining properties do
not comply with the Zoning Ordinance and that they want to install a landscape scheme
consistent with the surrounding area. Although adjoining properties may not have the required
number of 3" caliper trees, the plan submitted by Hansen-Rice does not come close to the 40'
perimeter landscaping of the adjacent Ida-Tran. Food Services of America, which is going up
across the street from Tri-City Meats, also has submitted a good landscaping plan which has a
minimum of 40' of landscaping adjacent to the roadway, as well as numerous 3" caliper trees.

Section 11-2-419.A of the Ordinance specifically states:
"No non-conforming use of neighboring lands, structures or buildings in the same
district and no permitted or non-conforming use of lands, structures or buildings
in other districts shall be considered grounds for issuance of a variance.
Variances shall be granted only where strict application of the provisions of this
Ordinance would result in unnecessary hardship. "
1 make the following findings:
1. Special circumstances or conditions affecting the property do not exist that would make
the strict application of the provisions of the Ordinance impracticable or unreasonable.
There is plenty of available space, and part of the parcel is remaining undeveloped at this
time. Future development plans will also require conformance with the Ordinance.
2. No extraordinary hardship because of unusual topography, the nature or condition of
adjacent development, or other physical conditions will result from compliance with the
Ordinance.
3. Granting of the variance will be detrimental to the public's welfare.
4. Granting of the variance will have the effect of altering the interest and purpose of the
Ordinance and the Meridian Comprehensive Plan.
5. Ten percent (10%) of the gross land area of the entire site should be open space, not just
the portion being developed at this time,. to avoid problems in the future with compliance.
6. Although the applicant's representative stated an affidavit of posting was submitted, no
affidavit was received and the site has not been posted in accordance with State Code.
In addition, Food Services of America, an adjacent property owner, was not included in
the list of property owners within 300' .
I recommend that the application for variance be denied.

STORMWATER MANAGEMENT RECO1vIIdENDATIONS
We recommend that the first one half inch of stormwater be
pretreated through a grassy Swale prior to discharge to the
subsurface to prevent impact to groundwater and surface water
quality. The engineers and architects involved with the design of
this project should obtain current best management practices for
stormwater disposal and design a stormwater management system that
is preventing groundwater and surface water degradation. Manuals
that could be used for guidance are:

Re: Variance Request JRN LLC 12/6/94
Gentlemen:
Because I am scheduled to be out of town on December 6 I offer the following written
testimony:
1. The notice is unclear as to whom the applicant is; I assume this is Tri-City Meats.
2. IDA-TRAN, Inc. would expect that landscaping done adjacent to our investment
at least be to the extent IDA-TRAN went to including the sodded and maintained
berming fronting N. Hickory Ave.
3. This appears to be an improper notice as Food Services of America does not
appear on your list of mailings and is located directly West across the
street from the applicant's property.
Sincerely

RE: JRN LLC Application for Variance
Lot 2, Block 3, Treasure Valley Business Center
Meridian, Idaho
Dear Mr. Berg:
Thank you for the Notice of Hearing for consideration of a variance by JRN LLC
regarding landscaping on their new site in Treasure Valley Business Center.
Since I will be unable to attend the hearing in person, I wish to describe our
property and the situation regarding landscaping for each parcel.
The entire Treasure Valley Business Center parcels, totaling approximately 325
acres, were rezoned and classified by the City of Meridian in 1991 for a PD-G
identification. In otherwords, a Planned Development project. The attendant
open space requirement for a PD-G zone requires, among other things, that
"The total area of all common open space shall equal or exceed ten (10) percent
of the gross land area... " In our opinion, this is a reasonable criterion to
measure an applicant's landscaping area by. (Based on former conversations
with the staff at the City of Meridian, we have been led to believe that the storm
drainage and irrigation canals can be considered as part of the common area.)
Furthermore, we filed in 1992, Covenants, Conditions and Restriction for
Treasure Valley Business Center-Phase I. Article VII, Section 7.3, Landscaping
Requirements, states, "Each Owner of Occupanf within TVBC 1, shall be
responsible for the construction, installation and maintenance of functional and
aesthetically suitable Landscaping on the Building Site in accordance with State
and local governmental requirements." It was our opinion at that time, and it still

remains, that the City of Meridian has reasonable and attractive ordinances in
place having to do with landscaping and it was unnecessary for us to embellish
those in the CC&R's. In this regard, we and other owners in the development
rely on the City's standards.
Since we will be unable to testify in person at the public hearing on December 6,
1994, we feel that if the applicant was to install the same proportionate quantity,
and quality, of landscaping as that provided by the neighboring properties,
Yellow Freight or Ida-Tran, then wt would be satisfied.
truly yours,
