The city of Meridian later approved a one year time extension. This time extension is set to expire on September 20, 1996. It is our understanding that city ordinance only allows one time extension for a final subdivision; therefore, J-U-B is requesting a variance from this requirement to allow an addition one- yeartime extension for this project. The reason for this extension request is that it is taking longer for the developer to gain the financing necessary to complete the necessary improvements. This is due to a rather soft real estate market at this time. We feel that this variance and time extension are appropriate for the following reasons; • The final plat for Turtle Creek No. 1 will not-have any additional impact upon surrounding properties than was previously considered in 1994. • The city's ordinances in regard to this property and subdivisions in general have not changed in a manner that would render the 1994 final plat approval inappropriate. • The conditions attached to the present final plat approval remain applicable and protect the general health, safety and welfare of surrounding properties and the general citizenry. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to assist you with this request. Thank you for your cooperation. Sincerely, J-U-B Engineers, Inc. ~~'1 ~ -- Carl L.

I offered to report back to you in regard to a construction start date for my project. As of this date, I cannot give you a firm construction start date. I am still in the process of obtaining financing. I did meet with Gary Smith, Brad Watson, and my engineer, Gary Lee, on January 6. We reviewed the projected cost of the pumping station for Tulley Park. The cost could run as high as $85,000. The largest portion of this cost is a check station to be built in 5 Mile Creek at a cost of $37,000. We also discussed cost sharing between the City and me. The irrigable acreage of Tulley Park is 13 acres of Turtle Creek's 36 acres (a ratio of .33). The water rights needed by the City to water the park in a 12-hour cycle are 120 gpm. Turtle Creek water rights are 440 gpm (a ratio of .25). I believe Mr. Smith and I are in agreement that a sharing ratio of .29 for the City and .71 for Turtle Creek is a fair sharing agreement.

RECORDING OF FINAL PLAT FOR TURTLE CREEK SUBDIVISION NO. 1 FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS The above entitled variance request having come on for consideration on October 1, 1996, at approximately 7:30 o'clock p.m. on said date, at the Meridian City Aall, 33 East Idaho Street, Meridian, Idaho, and the City Council having heard and taken oral and written testimony, the Applicant appearing through his representative, Gary Lee, the City Council of the City of Meridian makes the following: FINDINGS OF FACT 1. That notice of the public hearing on the request for a variance from 11-9-604 I 1., which requires that the final plat be filed with the County Recorder within one year after written approval by the City Council was published for two consecutive weeks prior to the scheduled hearing for October 1, 1996, the first publication of which was fifteen (15) days prior to said hearing; that the matter was duly considered at the October 1, 1996, hearing; that copies of all notices were available to newspaper, radio and television stations. 2. That notice of public hearing is required to be sent to property owners within 300 feet of the external boundaries of the FINDINGS OF FACT & CONCLUSIONS OF LAW TURTLE CREEK SUB. NO. 1 - VARIANCE PAGE 1 i • land being considered pursuant to 11-2-416 E., 11-2-419 D., and 11- 9-612 B. l.b. of the Revised and Compiled Ordinances of the City of Meridian; that this requirement has been met. 3. That Ordinance 11-9-604 I 1., requires that the final plat be filed with the County Recorder within one year after written approval by the City Council, otherwise such approval shall become null and void, unless prior to said expiration date an extension of time is applied for by the Applicant and granted by the City Council. 4. That the Applicant has requested to be granted a variance from the above filing and recording requirement; that Carl L. Stearns, Planning Associate with J.U.B. Engineers, Inc. stated in the Application that the reason for the extension request is that it is taking longer for the developer to gain the financing necessary to complete the necessary improvements; that due to the soft real estate market at this time the variance and time extension are appropriate; that this will not have any additional impact on the surrounding properties than was previously considered in 1994; that the City's Ordinances have not changed in a manner that would render the 1994 final plat approval inappropriate, and the conditions attached to the present final plat approval remain applicable and protect the general health, safety and welfare of surrounding properties and the general citizenry. 5. That Gary Lee, the Applicant's representative, testified that the Applicant is requesting to extend approval on the final FINDINGS OF FACT & CONCLUSIONS OF LAW TURTLE CREER SUB. NO. 1 - VARIANCE PAGE 2 plat; that the City's zoning ordinance allows one extension of final plat for one year and that there had been an extension granted for Turtle Creek Subdivision No. 1 previously and the Applicant is requesting a variance to allow an additional extension of time for that final plat; that approving this variance affect the submittal dates of the second phase of the final plat; that by Ordinance the second phase was to be submitted within one year of the first and the Applicant respectfully requests that he be allowed for that to be extended as well; that the real estate market in this area was somewhat softer in the 95/96 year and that developer ,john Steele didn't feel it would be financially a wise move to bring on 80 some more lots in this particular phase and just have them sit there longer than he would like; that if this variance to extend the final plat is approved there wouldn't be any additional impacts than were already addressed in the initial approvals; that all the present conditions of approval by the agencies, the highway district, the City, Corps of Engineers, Water Resources, all of the ones that the Applicant has. gone through would still be applicable in this case. 6. Discussion was had between Councilmen Tolsma and Morrow and Mr. Lee regarding the pump station and the impacts that it plays on the schedule of development of Tully Park; that Councilman Morrow stated that there has been goofing around with that park for some 3 years waiting on various regulatory agencies to get through their stuff and now the City is to the point where it can finally FINDINGS OF FACT ~ CONCLUSIONS OF LAW TURTLE CREEK SUB. NO. 1 - VARIANCE PAGE 3 get this thing done and that Councilman Rountree's committee will be dealing heavily with that issue and in his mind there is a certain linkage between this extension request and the pump station so that as soon as the temperatures reach the right numbers in the spring, grass can be growing and water is there that he is not willing to hold the City hostage or its citizens hostage for the lack of irrigation water for that park and that the City has waited long enough; that he doesn't have a problem with the variance for the extension but there needs to be a linkage between that and the completion of that pump station and that may mean that Mr. Steele fund that ahead of when he is actually going to construct or his share of it ahead of when he actually begins construction, but at this juncture, Mr. Morrow is not willing to do anything to slow the development of that park. 7. John Steele, the developer, testified that he wants the pump station as much as the Commissioners [Councilmen] and that the park is going to be a beautiful improvement to the City of Meridian; that he could assure the Commission [Councilmen] that within the next 90 to 120 days he believes he can give the City more definite information about a start date; that he didn't realize there was anything going on out at the site [of the park] until driving by to see that earth had been moved and that the City was going ahead with actual construction; that he is ar;xious to coordinate the development with the City and feels it appropriate to fund a share and that it be a condition of variance approval and FINDINGS OF FACT & CONCLUSIONS OF LAW TURTLE CREEK SUB. NO. 1 - VARIANCE PAGE 4 • that it is acceptable; that he could give no concrete guarantee that development would take place, only his assurance that it was an urgency in his life to get that development up and going, but could not say in fact that the property would be developed in 9 months or a year from today. 8. That Jan deWeerd testified that since conditions were being considered on the possible extension that the maintenance of the property by a condition to the developer; that it is an unattractive weed patch. 9. The entire property in question is described in the subdivision application and is incorporated herein as if set forth in full. 10. That the Applicant is the property owner. 11. That there was no other public testimony given. 12. That the Ordinance requires that the plat be recorded within one year of final plat approval; that since the plat was approved on September 20, 1994, the plat should have been recorded on or before September 20, 1995; that the Applicant requested an extension on June 23, 1995; that at the August 1, 1995, hearing, the City Council approved the variance for a one year extension to September 20, 1996; that the Ordinance also states that any request for an extension must be filed with the Zoning Administrator prior to the lapse of the original one year. 13. That proper notice was given as required by law and all procedures before the City Council have been given and followed. FINDINGS OF FACT & CONCLUSIONS OF LAW TURTLE CREEK SUB. NO. 1 - VARIANCE PAGE 5 CONCLUSIONS 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 of hearing on the proposed variance to owners of property within 300 feet of the external boundaries of the Applicant's property. 2. That the City has authority to grant variances pursuant to Section 11-2-419 of the Zoning Ordinance and pursuant to Section 11-9-612 of the Development Ordinances. 3. That the City Council has judged this application by the guidelines, standards, criteria, and policies contained in the Subdivision and Development Ordinance and upon the record submitted to it and the things upon which it may take judicial notice. 4. That the Council may take judicial notice of its own proceedings, those of the Planning and Zoning Commission, governmental statutes, ordinances, and policies, and of actual conditions existing within the City and the State. 5. That the following provision of Section 11-9-612 A. 1., of the Zoning Ordinance is noted which is pertinent to the Application: 11-9-612 A. 1. PURPOSE The Council, as a result of unique circumstances (such as topographic - physical limitations or a planned unit development), may grant variances from the provisions of this Ordinance on a finding that undue hardship results from the strict compliance with specific provisions or requirements of the Ordinance or that application of such provision or requirement is impracticable. FINDINGS OF FACT & CONCLUSIONS OF LAW TURTLE CREEK SUB. NO. 1 - VARIANCE PAGE 6 • 6. That the specific requirements regarding a variance that must be evidenced and found by the City Council are as follows: 11-9-612 A. 2., FINDINGS No variance shall be favorably acted upon by the Council unless there is a finding, as.a result of a public hearing, that all of the following exist: a. That there are such special circumstances or conditions affecting the property that the strict application of the provisions of this Ordinance would clearly be impracticable or unreasonable; in such cases, the subdivider shall first state his reasons in writing as to the specific provision or requirement involved; b. That the strict compliance with the requirements of this Ordinance would result in extraordinary hardship to the subdivider because of unusual topography, other physical conditions or other such conditions which are not self- inflicted, or that these conditions would result in inhibiting the achievement of the objectives of this Ordinance; c. That the granting of the specified variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property in the area in which the property is situated; d. That such variance will not violate the provisions of the Idaho Code; and e. That such variance will not have the effect. of nullifying the interest and purpose of this Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan. 7. That there does appear to be a specific benefit or profit, economic gain or convenience to the Applicant in that if the variance is not granted the Applicant would be required to go through the platting procedure again; that the Applicant could have recorded the plats within one year of September 20, 1994, but then under 11-9-616 it would have one year to commence construction and FINDINGS OF FACT & CONCLUSIONS OF LAW TURTLE CREEK SUB. NO. 1 - VARIANCE PAGE 7 • an additional year to complete construction; that there have been no significant subdivision and development ordinance changes to require additional requirements that were not in effect when the subdivisions were approved. 8. That regarding. Section 11-9-612 A. 2. it is specifically concluded as follows: a. That there are no special circumstances or conditions affecting the property that the strict application of the provisions of 11-9-604 I 1. would clearly be unreasonable. b. That strict compliance with the requirements of the 11-9- 604 I 1., Approval Period, would not result in extraordinary hardship to the applicant as a result of factors not self-inflicted, but since there have been no significant Subdivision and Development Ordinance changes which could be avoided if the variance was granted, it does make reasonable sense to grant the variance. c. That the granting of a variance would not be detrimental to the public's welfare or injurious to other property in the area in which the property is situated. d. That the variance would not have the effect of altering the interests and purposes of the recording requirement or the Meridian Comprehensive Plan. 9. That it is concluded the Application for a variance should be granted, but the Applicant must record the plat on or before September 20, 1997, and the requirements of 11-9-616 shall be complied with. 10. That the granting of this variance, or any variance, is on a case by .case evaluation and the granting of this variance shall not be considered as setting a precedent; each application must stand on its own merits and the granting of one variance is not a precedent for granting others. FINDINGS OF FACT & CONCLUSIONS OF LAW TURTLE CREEK SUB. NO. 1 - VARIANCE PAGE 8 11. That the granting of this variance is only for the recording requirement and all other Ordinances of the City of Meridian must be met and complied with.

ROLL CALL: COUNCILMAN MORROW VOTED COUNCILMAN BENTLEY VOTED COUNCILMAN ROUNTREE VOTED COUNCILMAN TOLSMA VOTED MAYOR CORRIE (TIE BREAKER) VOTED DECISION That it is decided the variance from the 11-9-604 I 1. is hereby granted and the plat must be recorded on or before September 20, 1997; that this then is an extension of approximately two years of the time requirements of 11-9-604 I 1. i APPROVED: DISAPPROVED: FINDINGS OF FACT & CONCLUSIONS OF LAW TURTLE CREEK SUB. NO. 1 - VARIANCE PAGE 9 • Meridian City Council October 1, 1996 Page 18 Morrow: Mr. Mayor, I believe the reason for continuing the public hearing was to give Mr. Newbeny and his company an opportunity to conclude a purchase of an adjacent property and if that earnest money was in fact executed then we would close the public hearing and remove this from the agenda. Do we have that information (inaudible). Crookston: Mr. Mayor and Council I think that the suggestion was by Mr. Newberry that he was going to buy this property that is to the east of Hi-Micro Tooi. I think it would be appropriate to keep it on the agenda and to table the matter until the closing has occurred not just the signing of the earnest money. It was my understanding that closing was going to be quite soon. Corrie: It was supposed to be October 1st. But the minutes stated it was an earnest money agreement that we were looking for. But that was supposed to happen the 1st of October. So that is why I was concerned, I didn't see him here so I think it would probably be a good idea to make sure we have that and continue this if you so desire. Morrow: I think the motion ought to be that we continue the public hearing until October 15. Rountree: Second Corrie: Motion made by Mr. Morrow, second by Mr. Rountree that we continue the public hearing until October 15 to make sure that we have all of the signed agreements there to take care of the variance. All those in favor? Opposed? MOTION CARRIED: All Yea ITEM #9: PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE FOR TURTLE CREEK SUBDIVISION N0. 1 BY JOHN STEELE: Corrie: At this time I will open the public hearing and invite the representative from Turtle Creek Subdivision to (inaudible). Gary Lee, 1750 North Summertree, Meridian, was sworn by the City Attorney. Lee: The variance application before you this evening is for a request to extend approval on the final plat. As it is today the City's zoning ordinance allows one extension of final plat for one year. There had been an extension granted for this Turtle Creek Subdivision No. 1 previously and we are here before you this evening requesting a variance to allow an additional extension of time for that final plat. Also that would affect the submittal dates of the second phase of the final plat. By ordinance that second phase was to be submitted Meridian City Council October 1, 1996 Page 19 within one year of the first. And vwe would respectfully request that be allowed to be extended as well. Some of the reasons as was stated in the narrative and submitted to you was the real estate market in this particular market area was somewhat softer in the 95/96 year. The developer John Steele didn't feel it would be a financially wise move to bring orr80 some more lots in this particular phase and just have them sit there longer than he would like. If you were to allow t#~is variance and to extend the final plat approval there wouldn't be any additional impacts tlh~an were already addressed in the initial approvals. All the present conditions of approval by the agencies, the highway district, the City, Corps of Engineers, Water Resources, aA of the ones that we had gone through would still be applicable in this case. I would be glad to answer any questions that Council may have on the request. Corrie: Council, questions? Morrow: The only question I would have Gary is could he not have the plat recorded and do anon-development agreement and' accomplish the same thing or is there a pro or con to that? (Inaudible) Lee: Well I guess, I am not sure how the ordinance addresses the approval of the plat whether it expires on the date of recording in the ordinance or the date of actual Council approval. Which is a lot of times not the same date. But the Council did approve the extension through I think it was September 20 of 1996. Corrie: Gary, have you seen Bruce Freckleton's comments? Lee: I haven't seen any comments from the City yet. Morrow: Mr. Mayor if 1 might address that, to answer you question Gary, typically the extensions are and Counselor Crooks~n reminded me of this, typically the extensions are from the date of approval of origins! approval and to '.,e consistent that is when we granted extensions in the past is from date of approval, one year and in case of the variance beginning from the date of approval. Lee: I guess the one comment in here from Bruce is to have the plans re-reviewed which we would expect, I think ACHD is going to require the same thing as well as DEQ later, their normal plan approval is for one year. However there were extensions granted by the Corp of Engineers on the (inaudible) on the Five Mile Creek work and by Water Resources. But we would expect to go through that review process again with the City. Tolsma: Does this mean our pump station is on hold? • Meridian City Council October 1, 1996 Page 20 Lee: Temporarily Corrie: As you noticed that field over there (inaudible) Lee: I noticed they were changing the landscape over there a little bit, that is good news. Corrie: Any further questions of the Council? Morrow: I guess I would have a question in terms of the pump station how it impacts in our schedule of development of Tully Park. We are not going to be very far off some time probably next spring or summer in terms of needing those waters for that seeding. So if we grant the variance for the extension there may be some conflict (inaudible) is that correct Ron? Tolsma: I was talking to Gary about it (inaudible) Corrie: What was your conclusion, do you want to share that what you talked about? Lee: Well it is a timing issue obviously for the developer as to when he can start his actual construction. I know Mr. Steele has been working very hard on getting that whole package put together to start construction as soon as possible. We can only hope that it is going to work into the City schedule. Tolsma: Would he be adverse to (inaudible) Lee: Maybe he can answer that in just a minute. Tolsma: (Inaudible) Lee: You are going to need water next sr,ring for sure. Corrie: Any further questions for Gary? Thank you John Steele, 4619 Emerald, Suite F, Boise, was sworn by the City Attorney. Steele: Mr. Mayor and members of the Council I want that pump station as much as you do believe me that park is going to be a beautiful improvement to the City of Meridian and that whole area. I can assure you that the next 90 to 120 days I believe that I can give you more definite information about a start date. But I can't give you a definite start date tonight. I don't have the ability to do that. Meridian City Council October 1, 1996 Page 21 Morrow: Mr. Mayor, Mr. Steele 1 have to ask the question or at least make the comment from my perspective is that we have been goofing around with that park for some 3 years waiting on various regulatory agencies to get through their stuff and now we are to the point where we can finally get this thing done and Councilman Rountree's committee will be dealing heavily with that issue and I guess in my mind there is a certain linkage between your extension and that pump station so that thing as soon as the temperatures reach the right numbers in the spring that grass can be growing and water is there. I am not willing to hold the City hostage or its citizens hostage for the lack of irrigation water for that park. We have all waited long enough. So I guess, from my perspective is I don't have a problem with the variance for the extension but there needs to be a linkage between that and the completion of that pump station. If that means you fund that ahead of when you are actually going to construct or your share of it ahead of when you actually construct of whatever then so be it. But I am not willing at this juncture willing to do anything to slow the development of that park. It has been slow in my mind way to long already. Steele: I couldn't agree with you more Councilman Morrow, it has been slowed and I didn't realize there was anything going on out there until driving by the other day and seeing that earth had been moved. So I was not aware that the city was going ahead with actual construction until driving by. It was a pleasant surprise to me to see it. Morrow: Us too. Steele: I guess in terms of coordinating development with the City I am anxious to do that. If you feel it appropriate that yes I fund a share of that then make that a condition of approval and that is acceptable. Rountree: The only reason stated for not having advanced this development at this point in time is that there is an apparent soft market for real estate in the Meridian area. Given that we have had record growth probably in excess of 2000 building permits in the City of Meridian the last couple of years s:~ice September of 1994 my question to you is what i~ to guarantee us that this year extension is going to see any more work done out there than has been now given the fact that there probably really is a softer market for real estate. Steele: I can give you no concrete guarantee that the development will take place. I simply can give you my assurance that it is an urgency in my life that is probably more urgent than anything else in my life right now to get that development up and going. But no I cannot stand here and tell you that in fact the property will be developed in 9 months or a year from today. Rountree: Is in fact the condition to get it developed contingent on satisfactory financing on your part? Meridian City Council October 1, 1996 Page 22 Steele: Of course. Tolsma: It would not have an adverse affect on that property to be sold if there was an up and functioning full time City park right across from it though would it? Steele: No, it would not have any adverse affect at all no, it would not Councilman Tolsma. Tolsma: The sprinkler system Steele: Is a huge benefit to the City and to my property yes. Bentley: I have a question for staff, Gary, is there just the park and his development coming off of that one pump house? Smith: Yes Corrie: Any further questions or comments? Thank you, anybody else from the audience that would like to give testimony? Jan deWeerd, 2090 West Chateau, Meridian, was sworn by the City Attorney. deWeerd: Mr. Mayor and Councilmen, since you are considering perhaps putting conditions on the possible extension. I would suggest that we firm up the maintenance of the waste land that is currently there behind our house as better maintained than so far. At one time I really believed we had some kind of botanical garden there with basically only one species being Russian Thistle. But it is indeed a noxious weed and other than the company that sells herbicides nobody else really profits from that. So I wish that maybe we can give some clear instructions how he keeps that lot, that plot there in better shape than he has done so far. Morrow: Mr. Mayor, if I may answer his observation is that we have a weed ordinance within the City and it is the responsibility of the zoning compliance officer to investigate those claims. If you have an issue there and it is outside of what is reasonable in your mind simply call the Ordinance officer and he will come and if it is absolutely right he will issue the paperwork to require Mr. Steele to cut the weeds and give him a certain amount of time if that doesn't occur then the City will cut them and assess the charge against Mr. Steele or any other property owners, (Inaudible). So we have a method to solve your dilemma and all you have do is tell us and we will get it done. Now part of the zoning ordinance officer is to kind of drive around and keep track of that stuff but some of it can get lost very easily. We will help you any way we can but we have to know. Meridian City Council October 1, 1996 Page 23 Corrie: Anybody else from the audience that would like to enter testimor~r at this time? Council? Morrow: My only discussion would be is it takes findings of fact and conclusions and it seems to me there needs to be a linkage in terms of the impending development of the park with respect to the pump station. I think that I would like to see those findings of fact that if we are going to do that the requirement for Mr. Steele to participate or post a bond and guarantee participation at the time that we are ready to start construction. Obviously on our part we would need to inform him of the amount of dollars that is his (inaudible) and give him plenty of notice so that could take place. I don't have a problem with the variance for the one year extension under those conditions. That is my opinion. Corrie: Thank you Mr. Morrow, anyone else? Rountree: Mr. Mayor, I think this is the first one of this magnitude that we have seen as a Council in my presence in the last year. I am not particularly excited about the one year variance, it seems to me at this point we now have allowed a three year, if we are to grant it we are granting a three year grand father clause for any changes in the City's zoning subdivision ordinances etc. to this applicant. I would like to see if in fact we do look favorably on the variance that the conditions of the variance also be subject, subject this development to any new ordinance language or change that comes about that it be entirely subject to review at the time they think it is going to come on line. I think that they need to speak to the issue of providing for the irrigation system for Tully Park. I think it needs to specify that the property will be maintained in a condition that meets the City of Meridian's ordinances since it has been annexed into the City. I still am not convinced that the right thing to do is grant the variance but I will give that further consideration when I review the findings of fact. Morrow: I guess as an answer to your question we have done that before as a City in terms of granting a variance for the extension of time. I have to ask Gary ~~ question in these kinds of issue where the approvals by everybody are for the one year basis does it not follow that when an extension is granted and new approvals are obtained that it brings them to the current codes at the time of the new approvals. Is that the procedure that ACRD and Nampa Meridian and everybody else follows? Smith: I believe so Councilman Morrow. Morrow: So there is not per say a grand father right. Smith: Typically when we approve plans for sewer and water construction we put. a one year time limit on that plan approval that if construction doesn't take place within that Meridian City Council October 1, 1996 Page 24 period of time the plans are subject to a new review. Morrow: And the new review typically brings up new whatever the new codes and ordinances may be? Smith: That is correct, I think the Highway District does that, I know DEQ does that. Rountree: Does that as well apply to the final plat though as opposed to the construction plans? Smith: Our own ordinance requirements? Rountree: Right Smith: That I don't know. Rountree: That is the question that 1 have. Corrie: Any further discussion on that? Bentley: I want to know if the Counselor can advise on that? Crookston: On requiring the plat to meet Bentley: Could you address that in the findings? Crookston: Yes Morrow: I guess the question that I would like to hear (inaudible) Mr. Rountree's question is that when These things go through the approval process and thF one year date comes due and everybody brings it up to current procedures is the same thing true of the final plat. (inaudible) Does everybody again have a shot at it to bring it up to current. Is there in fact some sort of grand father in there (inaudible) Gary, at least in terms of water and sewer construction and those kinds of things that there is no grand father. Apparently ACRD and others (inaudible) what about the final plat? Crookston: I believe that there would be no grand fathering particularly in this instance because the time period has lapsed. Morrow: The September 20th date? ~ ~ Meridian City Council October 1, 1996 Page 25 Crookston: Yes, I am not saying that it is something that the grand father rights are not tied to a plat if an application for the continuance of time is applied for prior to the time that the recording should have been done. What I am saying now is the time period has lapsed so he has no rights and the variance must be requested and it can be a condition of the granting of the variance that he does meet all plat requirements in effect at the time that he submits his application and in the time that he requests to have the plat recorded. Morrow: Part of Bruce Freckleton's comments address that. He says, his only comment is construction plans for this phase of Turtle Creek Subdivision received approval from the Public Works Department in January 1995. Due to the lapse in time plans will have to be reviewed for compliance with the current standards and policies prior to construction. As the lead agency during the development process the City of Meridian will also require updated approvals from other agencies involved in the review process. Crookston: I think he is absolutely correct, all I am saying in this instance that there is no doubt in my mind that the City can do that because the time period in which he should have recorded that plat has lapsed. Bentley: But I think also and you are correct in what you are saying his time limit has expired but for future events, someone else coming before us and I have to agree with Charlie on this what happens if the man is coming requesting an extension but he is within his time frame what .happens then. That is what I would like to have an answer to. Crookston: I would like to be able to give you one right now but I will look into it. Morrow: Mr. Mayor, I would move that we instnact the City Attorney to prepare findings of fact and conclusions of law for the Corrie: Before you go too far let me close the public hearing at this time. Morrow: I would move that we instruct the City Attorney to prepare findings of fact and conclusions of law for the variance for Turtle Creek Subdivision No. 1 by John Steele.
