Oslund: I thought it was just a plat?
Johnson: You are right it is just a plat, sorry about that, recommendation.

Johnson: Commissioner Hepper motions for approval, seconded by Commissioner
Malcolm MacCoy, all those in favor? Opposed?
MOTION CARRIED: All Yea
FIVE MINUTE RECESS
ITEM #12: PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A
PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAIT STUDIO BY BERTON & DEANNA SPENCER:
Johnson: At this point I will open the public hearing and invite the applicant or the
applicant's representative to address the Commission.
Berton Spencer, 213 E. 3rd, was sworn by the City Attorney.
Spencer: Originally when we began this process and what we determined was really quite
a process what we would basically need is we need a place to do some photographic
portraits. The main thing that we are considering is for like seniors and at this location
there wouldn't be more than one possibly two seniors there at a time. It is going to be very
limited. The other thing would be interviewing and discussing wedding plans with brides
should we do weddings: Most of our work is done on site. For instance working with
seniors on the green belt, environmental type work. We originally made the application
for the enclosing the car port for a photographic studio and I saw that there were several
questions and comments with regard to that. Basically how we feel at this particular time
is that anything that if you don't want to enclose it we won't enclose it. I have also noticed
that there are also some concerns about a sign and that sort of thing. This would be an
appointment only sort of situation that we would like to have at this location. I am not sure
at this particular time if an accessory use permit might be a better thing than a full
conditional use permit but we would just like to state that any, we would be more than
willing to work with the Commission on any way it would allow us to be able to do this.
Johnson: Thank you Mr. Spencer, any questions from the Commissioners to the Applicant?
Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission
April 9, 1996
Page 35
MacCoy: I do, you say it is going to be done by appointment only?
Spencer: Yes
MacCoy: How do you plan to advertise, through the yellow pages or though billboards or
what?
Spencer: Yes and word of mouth that sort of thing. As far as billboards, .the other thing
would be like the school paper with a phone number that sort of thing.
MacCoy: You have read the material that was written up by the City?
Spencer: Yes, I would also like to include that there won't be any type of photographic
processing done on the site so as far as the compliance with the City sewer there wouldn't
be any problem.
MacCoy: Let's go back one step here, you list your home at 213, I got the impression that
was a single family dwelling. I took a look at it and it is a duplex.
Spencer Yes, when we originally purchased the property there was a question about that
and we went to our insurance agent and he said that they insure it as a single dwelling
property because there is a split. evidently there is some sort of fire between the two so
they are able to insure them as separate properties.
MacCoy: Probably a fire wall in there.
Spencer: The other owner is here this evening as well.
MacCoy: I would like to hear from them later on. I have got a concern the fact that it is a
duplex, because 215 being your next door neighbor I have seen over the years this type
of installation causing a problem. You mentioned chemicals not being used in the building,
what kind of assurance do we have that is not going to happen?
Spencer: There used to be a problem in the past with nitrates in films, that is no longer a
concern. As far as lighting, 1 don't use flood lighting, it is all electronic. So there won't be
a problem with that.
MacCoy: There won't be a problem with wiring for example.
Spencer: It is very low.
Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission
April 9, 1996
Page 36
MacCoy: Let's go back to your carport now, do you still plan to frame that to make a room
out of it or are you going to do that in your home?
Spencer: I would like to but I would, at some point my wife would like to have the extra
space. I frankly, at this juncture I would like to leave it to the Commission if that would be
acceptable.
MacCoy: Because framing that carport in puts you, I can see your neighbors fencing which
is pretty close.
Spencer: There is five feet from there in between the fence that exists there.
MacCoy: Is that a four foot high fence?
Spencer: No, I think it is more like a three (inaudible) in fact it is getting rather old if you
noticed. That is going to have to be taken care of sooner or later.
MacCoy: Where do you park your car when the car port is gone. I noticed behind your
area it doesn't look conducive to put more cars and more vehicles.
Spencer: There wouldn't be any access to get to the rear of it.
MacCoy: So you would be forced to park on the front part of your property.
Spencer: We have measured that and I am not sure of the requirements but there are 25
feet from the existing sidewalk to the street. and even without the carport there you could
easily put three in front and one in the driveway which is four vehicles. Frankly I don't see
any situation where we would be having more than two other vehicles there.
MacCoy: Okay, so you wouldn't plan to park your car on a I guess a concrete pad of some
kind in front of your existing (inaudible)
Spencer: There is one existing there now.
MacCoy: Did they list the fact that (inaudible)
Spencer: There is an existing four foot sidewalk there that runs the entire length of the
block. But it is getting rather old anyway. I am assuming that here when they were talking
about the installation of a five foot sidewalk that would go in its present position.
MacCoy: You mean replace what you have.
Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission

the equipment is rather portable. So it would also require that we take the equipment down.
as well so that she could discuss plans with brides that want to come in and have a
wedding and to show work.
Oslund: You said that there is not going to be any photo processing on site, where would
that occur?
Spencer: That is done out of state. I presently have a professional lab that I deal with.
Oslund: You did say that if we were to approve this without the enclosure of the carport
that would be acceptable.
Spencer: That would be acceptable if it was between not being able to do my photography
and that. I am just trying to work with you.
Oslund: Then, just to make this clear on the, in terms of the advertisement and that sort
of thing then you would not be necessarily or you would not be advertising your location
for just for folks to just come in.
Spencer: In fact we would if we could stipulate it would be by appointment only, would that
be acceptable. I also have some photographs of the property if you would like those.
Johnson: If you submit those to us it becomes property of the City I have to tell you that
in advance.
Hepper: I had a quick comment, I am not sure that the feasibility of enclosing the carport
would be satisfactory. You would probably have to, you can just build a wall and set it on
the concrete slab. In order for the building department you would have to check with the
building department but you would have to have a footing and foundation under there
(inaudible) just like you have to have for a house. The cost of tearing all of that out and
putting that in is probably more then the cost of the carport right now.
Spencer: I was, it was one of those things where I was going to go do that then somebody
said no before you do that come here first.
Hepper: I don't know maybe Gary can comment on that, I believe that I am right. The
building requirements would require a footing and foundation and redwood plate and all
of that kind of stuff just like a new construction. So the only thing you would be salvaging
would be the roof but you would basically have to rebuild that as a part of the house.
Johnson: Did you indicate that your neighbor was here that is in the same building?
Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission
April 9, 1996
Page 39
Spencer: Yes
Johnson: I would be interested in hearing if he would be willing to come forward or she.
Sharon Barrows, 215 East 3rd Street, was sworn by the City Attorney.
Johnson: The concern of some of the commissioners I believe, Commissioner Oslund and
also Commissioner MacCoy is compatibility of a commercial enterprise with someone so
close in proximity. My question to you is what is your reaction to this application and are
you on the favorable side or the negative side. How do you view this application affecting
your way of life.
Barrows: Our property is really close to down town Meridian, we are, I don't know what
you call when you are living in a commercial area anyway. As I see it I see this
photography studio as something positive; I think it will upgrade our property myself. It truly
doesn't sound like anything where there will be cars coming and going, coming and going,
it sounds like sort of a quiet family small business. I felt that it was positive.
Johnson: In other words you do not have a specific objection to the application as has
been presented. In case the record did not get that she said no she does not. For
clarification you are owners or your unit or your portion of the duplex.
Barrows: Yes, I don't own it yet but 1 am buying it.
Johnson: Right, it is not a rental situation.
Barrows: No sir
Johnson: Any questions of the neighbor, I am sorry the name escapes me right now.
Thank you very much we appreciate your testimony. Is there anyone else that would like
to come forward on this?
Crookston: I would just have a question for the applicant Mr. Spencer.
Johnson: Is that it?
Crookston: Mr. Spencer if you did use the carport my question is are you going to operate
in the winter?
Spencer: If it wasn't enclosed I wouldn't operate it in the winter of course without enclosing
it in. At this particular point it sounds awfully unfeasible to do that because of the cost of
Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission
April 9, 1996
Page 40
enclosing it in.
Crookston: Are you aware that you would have to bring the property up to code, meet all
of the codes to do this?
Spencer: You mean for the carport, I am not sure about the other codes as far as if we
were to use a conditional use permit without the carport suggestion.
Crookston: It would be the electrical, the mechanical, the water and sewer codes, all of it.
Johnson: Well you need to be more specific, are you saying that none of this meets code
now?
Crookston: I have no idea whether it does or does not, I am just saying that is required.
Johnson: Of course that was in the comments from staff, you have those comments do
you not?
Spencer: Yes, I have a question about the fire department requiring the 25 foot in one of
the comments. I don't understand what that requirement exactly is. It was on #4 general
comments on the first page. As far as the American with Disabilities act, I will have to read
and find out what that is specii'ICatly referring to. Whether it is referring to wheel chair
access only.
(Inaudible)
Oslund: You alluded to early on in the testimony that you weren't sure if you were
supposed to be getting a conditional use permit or an accessory use. The way that I see
it anyway, if you were going for the proposal as stated that is the enclosure and the sign
out front and that kind of situation then I guess I would say yes that this is a candidate for
conditional use permit. I guess it is but if it is reduced, the scope of this thing is reduced
to the point where what you are talking about is you have people over you are not openly
advertising. You have clients over one and two at a time and you are taking pictures of
them and you are not processing the film on site and none of your neighbors seem to, the
ones we heard, didn't have any objection and you noticed the rest around your area. I
guess I just don't see the problem, I can't answer or address Wayne's statement about
bringing everything up to code. It seems like if somebody wants to do that it should be
Johnson: What you are saying Commissioner Oslund is this is a candidate for accessory
use is that what you are saying?
Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission
April 9, 1996
Page 41
Oslund: I guess I am asking
Johnson: Let's get Shari's feed back on that since Shari is the expert on Accessory uses.
Stiles: Commissioner Oslund and the rest of you, they did initially apply for an accessory
use permit. However because of the of the commercial aspect of it and the fact that it is
in Old Town I did not feel it was eligible for an accessory use permit. Usually the home
occupations are merely office like such as a real estate or insurance where they do not
have trafFc coming in and out. All they want to do is use it as a business address and don't
use it as a commercial site.. That was the reason for requiring conditional use permit.
Johnson: There is usually little to no traffic, no signage.
Stiles: Yes
Oslund: I guess what I am asking is and that determination I assume was made given the
facts that are in his application that is the sign out front. I think the application at least
Spencer: Excuse me in the original accessory use permit application I didn't include that
sign, that sign was basically just an after thought.
Oslund: How about the addition?
Spencer: The addition I believe was in it. (Inaudible)
Oslund: I guess it would be my opinion that if we adjust the application to eliminate all of
those things and he wants to have just one or two clients in his home on occasion without
general advertising to take pictures it seems like it should fit. Especially when we have
noticed all the neighbors and one showed up and has no problem and the others didn't
find a good reason.
Stiles: I believe if this were an occasion where none of the work were done at the home
and they simply had a business and wanted to go out on site like they were going on the
green belt and things like that, I think that would be fine as an accessory use permit, but
I still believe this is a commercial use of the property and it should be under the conditional
use permit.
Johnson: The last and I am not arguing with you, but the last accessory use that I recall
that we approved was a fellow that actually made, manufactured wood signs in his home.
There was no traffic there and that seemed to be the reason that we permitted the
accessory use, but there was work there. He had converted his garage, there was no
Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission
Apri 19, 1996
Page 42
structural change to his building, but he was doing his sign work out of the garage. I am
a little foggy myself on accessory uses. Accessory uses don't require for lack of a better
term the rigmarole that we are going through tonight. Shari's point about OId Town, we
have a special designation for this area Old Town because we want to kind of see it retain
its integrity so to speak. So everything in Old Town is conditional use where it not in others
areas of the zoning. That may be one of the guiding reasons that she decided that it
wouldn't fit accessory use. I am not putting words in your mouth I am just trying to see
where we are coming from here. We need to address at a different time what constitutes
an accessory use and~what doesn't. I tend to agree with Greg which I don't do very often
that maybe this isn't a conditional use but that is the Commission's call.
Crookston: (Inaudible) I believe that whether it is a conditional use or an accessory use
they still have to meet the codes.
Deanna Spencer, 213 E. 3rd, was sworn by the City Attorney.
Spencer: I guess what my question was concerning code, was we have done some
research to find out what it is we need to bring this area into code as far as electrical,
heating, as far as any of these other things that would have to be added. I guess what my
question was is there anything different that you are talking about in this area that I am not
aware of?
Crookston: Well there would be one thing that you haven't mentioned that could be a
problem is the fire code, the health and life safety code, mechanical code, electrical,
mechanical, that is all that popped into my head right now, Shari?
Stiles: Uniform Building Code which would include the American with Disabilities Act.
B. Spencer: And then we would still, we couldn't ask for a waiver of any of, for instance
the parking ordinances or that sort of thing?
Crookston: You can always apply for a variance but when they are specific requirements
it is very difficult for the City to grant them.
Johnson: (Inaudible) City Council which is where the variance has to be approved not
before this body, it is reluctant to vary anything that is required by code.
D. Spencer: These are all things that I am sure we would have to have someone address.
We are required to meet any of those codes and so it is something that definitely we need
to do.
Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission
April 9, 1996
Page 44
Smith: With respect to the codes and they do this primarily for sale of home orfor a buyer
perhaps but primarily for transfer ownership or homes. I would assume that they could do
the same thing.
Johnson: You locate those people in the yellow pages or do you have references?
Smith: Well, we have a contractor that works for us in the building inspection department,
his Company (End of Tape) he is in the building department and I think he does this kind
of work outside of his regular City inspection duties. I think he can advise these folks of
what they would need to do to upgrade in all of these categories. I am not sure of that but
certainly could give him a call and check with him. If he can't I would suspect that he could
advise them of someone that could.
Johnson: Thank you, what we need to do here is help these people out so they don't
spend a lot of money going off into one direction and not be able to realize any return.
D. Spencer: I just wanted to further comment here that we wanted to do a small business
operation in hopes that someday we would be able to increase. Then at that time be able
to go out and rent the appropriate square footage for studio or reception for sales area and
maybe even production. What my thought was after this was accomplished I would like
to use and have that area revert back to residential as a spare family room or something
that we would like to use as additional space. So on those other things we would have
had to I think we would have had to do that anyway.
Hepper: From my own perspective on this I think, I don't really see where it is a problem.
If it is feasible for you guys to do it, just taking some pictures is really not a big intensive
use. I have no problems with putting a studio in there it is just if it is feasible for you to do
it. I think from my standpoint I don't have any problems with it.
Oslund: I agree, not sure how we get you through this as fast as we can. Like I said I was
kind of leaning towards the accessory use but I don't know if we can get that. {don't know
if it makes any sense, you are really close to getting through this process and like Wayne
said some of these issues about code requirements would apply regardless of the planning
process that you go through. I don't believe though, I guess I like, it is a good idea with
the exception of I don't really like the idea necessarily of the sign and the addition. But the
other stuff.
D. Spencer: Well I can do without the sign, it is not important.
MacCoy: But if you plan to do the addition anyway for another thing down the road then
that is a different story altogether. I think you have to do your homework and finances
Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission
April 9, 1996
Page 45
before you step into this.
Oslund: Well that addition doesn't need to be done, it could be, just come back go to the
building department and say we have a single family residence or a duplex and we want
to add on a family room and I don't believe that you will ever have to come see us. As long
as you meet their requirements.
Crookston: On your question about if you do go with a conditional use permit or an
accessory use permit either one and then you operate your business and in two years or
20 years later you want to go back to the home that is not a problem.
Johnson: Anyway, the way this process works is if we go to the findings of fact and
conclusions of law then those aren't addressed until our May meeting on the 14th,
following that it goes to the City Council so it is not a real quick process. That is as quick
as it can be under the (inaudible) with what we have to do with noticing the people etc.
Anyone else have anything else? Anyone from the public have a final comment? If not I
will close the public hearing then. It does require findings of fact and conclusions of law.
Oslund: Mr. Chairman, I move that the City Attorney prepare findings of fact and
conclusions of law for this application and incorporate the testimony given and the
concerns of the commissioners.
MacCoy: Second
Johnson: Moved and seconded you have the City Attorney prepare findings of fact and
conclusions of law, all those in favor? Opposed?
MOTION CARRIED: All Yea
Johnson: That is it for tonight, if you do have any question feel free to contact the City
either the public works department but that is probably not your best bet, go first to the City
Clerk if you have any questions he can direct you to the people to give you answers in the
interim here.
ITEM #13: PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR A VACATION OF A PORTION OF GEM
STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY BY WILD SHAMROCK PARTNERSHIP:
Johnson: At this time I will open the public hearing and ask the representative or the
applicant to come forward and address the Commission. I need to remind you that any
materials presented to the Commission become property of the City.

SITE SPECIFIC COMMENTS
1. The parcel of land is less than 2,090 square feet. Using today's standards, construction
of this duplex would not be permitted. One unit of the duplex is on an adjacent lot, also
less than 2,090 square feet. Given that all surrounding uses are single-family homes
(except for the attached duplex unit), in addition to the extremely small size of the lot, this
location is probably not a good choice for commercial activity at this time.
2. Adequate off-street parking for both a commercial activity and use of the duplex as a
residence is not available at this site.
3. Buffering of adjacent residential properties would be required prior to approval of any
conditional use permit.
4. A Certificate of Occupancy --- signed by the Building Inspector for compliance with
current commercial building codes, the Fire Marshal for compliance with current fire
codes, and the Zoning Administrator for compliance with zoning and development
ordinances --- must be obtained prior to any change of use of this property.

MERIDIAN.. IDAHO
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS
The above entitled matter having come on for public hearing
April 9, 1996, at the hour of 7:30 o'clock p.m., the Petitioners
appearing in person, the Planning and Zoning Commission of the City
of Meridian having duly considered the evidence and the matter
makes the following Findings of Fact and Conclusions:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. That a notice of a public hearing on the Conditional Use
Permit was published for two (2) consecutive weeks prior to the
public hearing scheduled for April 9, 1996, the first publication
of which was fifteen (15) days prior to said hearing; that the
matter was duly considered at the April 9, 1996, hearing; that the
public was given full opportunity to express comments and submit
evidence; and that copies of all notices were available to
newspaper, radio and television stations.
2. That this property is located within the City of Meridian
and the Applicant's are the owners of the property; the property is
described in the application which description is incorporated
herein.
3. That the property is zoned Old Town, which requires a
conditional use permit for the operation of a photographic portrait
studio, which the application requests.
4. That the Old Town District is described in the Zoning
Ordinance, 11-2-408 B. 12. as follows:
(OT1 Old Town District: The purpose of the (OT) District
is to accommodate and encourage further expansion of the
historical core of .the community; to delineate a
centralized activity center and to encourage its renewal,
revitalization and growth as the public, and quasi-
public, cultural, financial and recreational center of
the City. A variety of these uses integrated with
general business, medium-high. to high density
residential, and other related uses is encouraged in an
effort to provide the appropriate mix of activities
necessary to establish a truly urban City Center. The
District shall be served by Municipal Water and Sewer
systems of the City of Meridian. Development in this
district must give attention to the handling of high
volumes of traffic, adequate parking, and pedestrian
movement, and provide strip commercial development, and
must be approved as a conditional use, unless otherwise
permitted.
5. Conditional Use Permit is defined in the Zoning Ordinance
as follows: "Permit allowing an exception to the uses authorized
by this Ordinance in a zoning district."
6. That the use proposed by Applicant is a specifically
allowed conditional use in the Zoning Schedule of Use Control, 11-
2-409.
7. That the Applicant stated in the application that the
intent is to utilize a portion of the residence to photograph and
that the proposed business name is Drost Portraits; that the
Applicants wish also to enclose the carport for the exclusive use
of the photographic business.
8. That the property is located in a residential area at 213
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - SPENCER PAGE 2
East Third Street.
9. The Applicant's are the owners of the property.
10. That sewer and water is connected to the property, and
the Applicants agree to pay any additional fees for water, sewer
and trash associated with this use.
11. That the Meridian Planning and Zoning Administrator,
Shari Stiles, and the Assistant to the City Engineer, Bruce
Freckleton, submitted comments, and they are incorporated herein as
if set forth in full; that any irrigation and drainage ditches
crossing the property must be tiled, off-street parking, paving and
stripping, a drainage plan, outside lighting and signage shall all
be provided in accordance with City Ordinances; that 5-foot wide
sidewalks on East Third Street be provided, outside the existing
right-of-way and that sewer and water to this facility would be by
means of existing service lines; that assessments for service will
be reviewed to see if additional load would justify an adjustment.
12. That Shari Stiles and Bruce Freckleton submitted site
specific comments which are as follows:
1. The parcel of land is less than 2,090 square feet.
Using today's standards, construction of this duplex
would not be permitted. One unit of the duplex is on an
adjacent lot, also less than 2,090 square feet. Given
that all surrounding uses are single-family homes (except
for the attached duplex unit), in addition to the
extremely small size of the lot, this location is
probably not a good choice for commercial activity at
this time.
2. Adequate off-street parking for both a commercial
activity and use of the duplex as a residence is not
available at this site.
3. Buffering of adjacent residential properties would
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - SPENCER PAGE 3
be required prior to approval of any conditional use
permit.
4. A Certificate of Occupancy signed by the Building
Inspector for compliance with current commercial building
codes, the Fire Marshal for compliance with current fire
codes, and the Zoning Administrator for compliance with
zoning and development ordinances, must be obtained prior
to any change of use of this property.
13. That the Nampa. Meridian Irrigation District, Central
District Health Department, Meridian Police Department and Fire
Department submitted comments and they are hereby incorporated
herein as if set forth in full.
14. That the Sewer Department submitted comments and they are
incorporated herein as if set forth in full; that if the
photographs are processed on site, this establishment will require
a silver saver and an ion exchange unit for pretreatment purposes.
If the photos are processed by others, this will not apply.
15. That Commissioner MacCoy submitted statements regarding
this application, and they are hereby incorporated herein as if set
forth in full and his comments include the following:
1. City records regarding this address should be checked;
that this is a duplex, a two-story building, not a single
family residence.
2. That there is no available space for parking, thus cannot
meet Meridian Parking Ordinances.
3. That curb, gutter and sidewalk may be a requirement in 0-
T (Old Town) Zoning; that none exist here at this
.location.
4. That Applicant must meet all codes; that some concern
exists with the electrical wiring, and use of chemicals
for this type of business.
5. Lot size with existing building (House, car-port being
turned into this type of business) with relationship to
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - SPENCER PAGE 4
property line and adjacent building, also adjoining
building. Health and safety codes to be strictly
enforced.
Commissioner MacCoy stated that he has seen businesses of this type
on several occasions burn totally to the ground.
16. Berton Spencer testified that this is a limited
operation, by appointment only; that most of the work is done on
off site; that all of the processing is done out of state at a
professional lab and that there would be no photographic processing
done on the site; that the nitrates which use to be used in films
is no longer a concern and that the lighting used is all
electronic, no flood lighting; that plans for advertising would be
through the yellow pages, by word of mouth.
17. That Commissioner MacCoy commented that he had been by
this location and discovered that this residence is a duplex and
not a single family dwelling. He voiced his concern that over the
years he has seen this type of installation cause a problem, such
as wiring. He also commented that if the Applicant still plans to
frame in the carport making a room out of it, that this puts the
neighbors fencing pretty close and creates a parking problem,
forcing the Applicant to park on the front part of the property and
that the health and safety of the neighborhood, and particularly
the next door neighbor, are of concern.
18. Mr. Spencer stated that the when the property was
originally purchased there was a question and that the insurance
agent said they insure it as a single family property because there
is a split; that there is some sort of fire wall between the two
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLIISIONS OF LAW - SPENCER PAGE 5
enabling the insurance company to insure them as separate
properties. That the Applicant stated that he would like to
enclose the carport adding some extra space; that if the carport
was not enclosed, that would be acceptable also, and that he would
use his living room and the equipment, being rather portable, could
be moved when clients were. present; that he wouldn't operate in the
winter without enclosing the carport and that may be not be
feasible given the cost.
19. Commissioner Hepper commented that the enclosing of the
carport may not be feasible; that the Applicant may be required to
have a footing and foundation as there would be for a house or new
construction and the only salvaging would be the roof, which would
basically have to be rebuilt as a part of the house and that the
cost in tearing out and rebuilding is probably more than the cost
of the carport right now.
20. Commissioner Oslund commented that maybe an Accessory Use
Permit may be what the Applicants need to apply for rather than
this Conditional Use Permit; that there should be no open
advertising such as signage, no processing of film done on the
premises, and that one or two clients at a time at the location
with no apparent objections from the surrounding neighbors.
21. Planning and Zoning Director, Shari Stiles, commented
that the Applicant's did initially apply for an Accessory Use
Permit, but because of the commercial aspect of it and the fact
that it is in Old Town, Ms. Stiles felt this application required
a Conditional Use Permit.
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - SPENCER PAGE 6
22. Sharon Barrows, offered testimony that she is the
neighbor living in the other side of the duplex, and that she is in
the process of buying the other portion of the duplex and that this
photography studio is something positive; that this application
sounds like a quiet family, small business, and that it doesn't
sound like cars will be coming and going.
23. Deanna Spencer testified that she and her husband have
done some research to find out what needs to be done to bring the
area into code as far as electrical and heating; City Attorney,
Wayne G. Crookston, Jr., stated that the fire code, the health and
safety code, and mechanical code, are a few of the codes which will
need to be met. Shari Stiles added that the Uniform Building Code
would include the American with Disabilities Act. Ms. Spencer
testified that these codes are something which are required to be
met and something that she and Mr. Spencer definitely need to do.
24. Mr. Spencer summarized his testimony, saying that he and
his wife wanted to do a small business operation in hopes that
someday they would be able to increase and in the future be able to
go out and rent the appropriate square footage for a studio, sales
area, maybe even a production area, and then perhaps revert this
area back to residential as a spare family room or something that
could be used as additional space.
25. That proper notice has been given as required by law and
all procedures before the Planning and Zoning Commission have been
given and followed.
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - SPENCER PAGE 7
coNCZVSioxs
1. That all the procedural requirements of the Local
Planning Act and of the Ordinances of the City of Meridian have
been met including the mailing of notice to owners of property
within 300 feet of the external boundaries of the Applicant's
property.
2. That the City of Meridian has authority to grant
conditional uses pursuant to 67-6512, Idaho Code, and, pursuant to
11-2-418 of the Revised and Compiled Ordinances of the City of
Meridian and pursuant to those sections authority to place
conditions on a conditional use permit and the use of the property
pursuant to 67-6512, Idaho Code, and pursuant to 11-2-418 D of the
Revised and Compiled Ordinances of the City of Meridian, Idaho.
3. That 11-2-418 C of the Revised and Compiled Ordinances of
the City of Meridian sets forth the standards under which the
Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council shall review `
applications for Conditional Use Permits; that upon a review of
those requirements and a review of the facts presented and the
conditions of the area, the Planning and Zoning Commission
concludes as follows:
a. The use, would in fact, constitute a conditional use
and a conditional use permit is required by ordinance.
b. .The use should be harmonious with and in accordance
with the Comprehensive Plan but the Zoning Ordinance
requires a conditional use permit to allow the use.
c. The use apparently would be designed and
constructed, to be harmonious in appearance with the
intended character of the general vicinity.
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - SPENCER PAGE 8
d. That the use should not be hazardous nor should it
be disturbing to existing or future neighboring uses, if
the conditions herein stated are met.
e. The property has sewer and water service available.
f. The use should not create excessive additional
requirements at public cost for public facilities and
services and the use: would not be detrimental to the
economic welfare of 1:he community.
g. The use would not involve a use, activity, process,
material, equipment or conditions of operation that would
be detrimental to person, property or the general welfare

BEFORE THE MERIDIAN PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAIT STUDIO
~\ 213 EAST THIRD STREET
MERIDIAN.. IDAHO
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS
The above entitled matter having come on for public hearing
April 9, 1996, at the hour of 7:30 o'clock p.m., the Petitioners
appearing in person, the Planning and Zoning Commission of the City
of Meridian having duly considered the evidence and the matter
makes the following Findings of Fact and Conclusions:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. That a notice of a public hearing on the Conditional Use
Permit was published for two (2) consecutive weeks prior to the
public hearing scheduled for April 9, 1996, the first publication
of which was fifteen (15) days prior to said hearing; that the
matter was duly considered at the April 9, 1996, hearing; that the
public was given full opportunity to express comments and submit
evidence; and that copies of all notices were available to
newspaper, radio and television stations.
2. That this property is located within the City of Meridian
and the Applicant's are the owners of the property; the property is
described in the application which description is incorporated
herein.
3. That the property is zoned Old Town, which requires a
conditional use permit for the operation of a photographic portrait
studio, which the application requests.
4. That the Old Town District is described in the Zoning
Ordinance, 11-2-408 B. 12. as follows:
(OT1 Old Town District: The purpose of the (OT) District
is to accommodate and encourage further expansion of the
historical core of the community; to delineate a
centralized activity center and to encourage its renewal,
revitalization and growth as the public, and quasi-
public, cultural, financial and recreational center of
the City. A variety of these uses integrated with
general business, medium-high to high density
residential, and other related uses is encouraged in an
effort to provide the appropriate mix of activities
necessary to establish a truly urban City Center. The
District shall be served by Municipal Water and Sewer
systems of the City of Meridian. Development in this
district must give attention to the handling of high
volumes of traffic, adequate parking, and pedestrian
movement, and provide strip commercial development, and
must be approved as a conditional use, unless otherwise
permitted.
5. Conditional Use Permit is defined in the Zoning Ordinance
as follows: "Permit allowing an exception to the uses authorized
by this Ordinance in a zoning district."
6. That the use proposed by Applicant is a specifically
allowed conditional use in the Zoning Schedule of Use Control, 11-
2-409.
7. That the Applicant stated in the application that the
intent is to utilize a portion of the residence to photograph and
that the proposed business name is Drost Portraits; that the
Applicants wish also to enclose the carport for the exclusive use
of the photographic business.
8. That the property is located in a residential area at 213
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - SPENCER PAGE 2
i
East Third Street.
9. The Applicant's are the owners of the property.
10. That sewer and water is connected to the property, and
the Applicants agree to pay any additional fees for water, sewer
and trash associated with this use.
11. That the Meridian Planning and Zoning Administrator,
Shari Stiles, and the Assistant to the City Engineer, Bruce
Freckleton, submitted comments, and they are incorporated herein as
if set forth in full; that any irrigation and drainage ditches
crossing the property must be tiled, off-street parking, paving and
stripping, a drainage plan, outside lighting and signage shall all
be provided in accordance with City Ordinances; that 5-foot wide
sidewalks on East Third Street be provided, outside the existing
right-of-way and that sewer and water to this facility would be by
means of existing service lines; that assessments for service will
be reviewed to see if additional load would justify an adjustment.
12. That Shari Stiles and Bruce Freckleton submitted site
specific comments which are as follows:
1. The parcel of land is less than 2,090 square feet.
Using today's standards, construction of this duplex
would not be permitted. One unit of the duplex is on an
adjacent lot, also less than 2,090 square feet. Given
that all surrounding uses are single-family homes (except
for the attached duplex unit), in addition to the
extremely small size of the lot, this location is
probably not a good choice for commercial activity at
this time.
2. Adequate off-street parking for both a commercial
activity and use of the duplex as a residence is not
available at this site.
3. Buffering of adjacent residential properties would
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - SPENCER PAGE 3
be required prior to approval of any conditional use
permit.
4. A Certificate of Occupancy signed by the Building
Inspector for compliance with current commercial building
codes, the Fire Marshal for compliance with current fire
codes, and the Zoning Administrator for compliance with-
zoning and development ordinances, must be obtained prior
to any change of use of this property.
13. That the Nampa. Meridian Irrigation District, Central
District Health Department, Meridian Police Department and Fire
Department submitted comments and they are hereby incorporated
herein as if set forth in full.
14. That the Sewer Department submitted comments and they are
incorporated herein as if set forth in full; that if the
photographs are processed on site, this establishment will require
a silver saver and an ion exchange unit for pretreatment purposes.
If the photos are processed by others, this will not apply.
15. That Commissioner MacCoy submitted statements regarding
this application, and they are hereby incorporated herein as if set
forth in full and his comments include the following:
1. City records regarding this address should be checked;
that this is a duplex, a two-story building, not a single
family residence.
2. That there is no available space for parking, thus cannot
meet Meridian Parking Ordinances.
3. That curb, gutter and sidewalk may be a requirement in 0-
T (Old Town) Zoning; that none exist here at this
.location.
4. That Applicant must meet all codes; that some concern
exists with the electrical wiring, and use of chemicals
for this type of business.
5. Lot size with existing building (House, car-port being
turned into this type of business) with relationship to
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - SPENCER PAGE 4
property line and adjacent building, also adjoining
building. Health and safety codes to be strictly
enforced.
Commissioner MacCoy stated that he has seen businesses of this type
on several occasions burn totally to the ground.
16. Berton Spencer testified that this is a limited
operation, by appointment. only; that most of the work is done on
off site; that all of the processing is done out of state at a
professional lab and that there would be no photographic processing
done on the site; that the nitrates which use to be used in films
is no longer a concern and that the lighting used is all
electronic, no flood lighting; that plans for advertising would be
through the yellow pages, by word of mouth.
17. That Commissioner MacCoy commented that he had been by
this location and discovered that this residence is a duplex and
not a single family dwelling. He voiced his concern that over the
years he has seen this type of installation cause a problem, such
as wiring. He also commented that if the Applicant still plans to
frame in the carport making a room out of it, that this puts the
neighbors fencing pretty close and creates a parking problem,
forcing the Applicant to park on the front part of the property and
that the health and safety of the neighborhood, and particularly
the next door neighbor, are of concern.
18. Mr. Spencer stated that the when the property was
originally purchased there was a question and that the insurance
agent said they insure it as a single family property because there
is a split; that there. is some sort of fire wall between the two
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - SPENCER PAGE 5
enabling the insurance company to insure them as separate
properties. That the Applicant stated that he would like to
enclose the carport adding some extra space; that if the carport
was not enclosed, that would be acceptable also, and that he would
use his living room and the equipment, being rather portable, could
be moved when clients were present; that he wouldn't operate in the
winter without enclosing the carport and that may be not be
feasible given the cost.
19. Commissioner Hepper commented that the enclosing of the
carport may not be feasible; that the Applicant may be required to
have a footing and foundation as there would be for a house or new
construction and the only salvaging would be the roof, which would
basically have to be rebuilt as a part of the house and that the
cost in tearing out and rebuilding is probably more than the cost
of the carport right now.
20. Commissioner Oslund commented that maybe an Accessory Use
Permit may be what the Applicants need to apply for rather than
this Conditional Use Permit; that there should be no open
advertising such as signage, no processing of film done on the
premises, and that one or two clients at a time at the location
with no apparent objections from the surrounding neighbors.
21. Planning and Zoning Director, Shari Stiles, commented
that the Applicants did initially apply for an Accessory Use
Permit, but because of the commercial aspect of it and the fact
that it is in Old Town, Ms. Stiles felt this application required
a Conditional Use Permit.
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - SPENCER PAGE 6
22. Sharon Barrows, offered testimony that she is the
neighbor living in the other side of the duplex, and that she is in
the process of buying the other portion of the duplex and that this
photography studio is something positive; that this application
sounds like a quiet family, small business, and that it doesn't
sound like cars will be coming and going.
23. Deanna Spencer testified that she and her husband have
done some research to find out what needs to be done to bring the
area into code as far as electrical and heating; City Attorney,
Wayne G. Crookston, Jr., stated that the fire code, the health and
safety code,. and mechanical code, are a few of the codes which will
need to be met. Shari Stiles added that the Uniform Building Code
would include the American with Disabilities Act. Ms. Spencer
testified that these codes are something which are required to be
met and something that she and Mr. Spencer definitely need to do.
24. Mr. Spencer summarized his testimony, saying that he and
his wife wanted to do a small business operation in hopes that
someday they would be able to increase and in the future be able to
go out and rent the appropriate square footage for a studio, sales
area, maybe even a production area, and then perhaps revert this
area back to residential as a spare family room or something that
could be used as additional space.
25. That proper notice has been given as required by law and
all procedures before the Planning and Zoning Commission have been
given and followed.

Re: Request for Conditional Use Permit for Photographic Portrait Studio
at 213 East Third Street by Berton & Deanna Spencer

Any existing irrigation/drainage ditches crossing the property to be included in this project,

appropriate irrigation/drainage district, or lateral users association, with written
confirmation of said approval submitted to the Public Works Department.
2. Provide 5-foot-wide sidewalks on East Third Street outside existing right-of-way.
3. Off-street parking shall be provided in accordance with Section 11-2-414 of the City of
Meridian Zoning and Development Ordinance. Applicant is to prepare and submit a

PBiZ Commission, Mayor and Council

Page 2
7. All signage shall be in accordance with the standards set forth in Section 11-2-415 of the
City of Meridian Zoning and Development Ordinance.
8. Sanitary sewer and water service to this facility would be via existing service lines.
Assessments for sewer and water service will be reviewed to see if additional load would
justify an adjustment. Please provide any information that you may have with regards to
your anticipated water demand.
SITE SPECIFIC COMMENTS
1. The parcel of land is less than 2,090 square feet. Using today's standards, construction
of this duplex would not be permitted. One unit of the duplex is on an adjacent lot, also
less than 2,090 square feet. Given that all surrounding uses are single-family homes
(except for the attached duplex unit), in addition to the extremely small size of the lot, this
location is probably not a good choice for commercial activity at this time.
2. Adequate off-street parking for both a commercial activity and use of the duplex as a
residence is not available at this site.
3. Buffering of adjacent residential properties would be required prior to approval of any
conditional use permit.
4. A Certificate of Occupancy --- signed by the Building Inspector for compliance with
current commercial building codes, the Fire Marshal for compliance with current fire
codes, and the Zoning Administrator for compliance with zoning and development
ordinances --- must be obtained prior to any change of use of this property.
