Carlton Ave. Meridian, Idaho 83642 RE: Eagle Concrete Pumping /Variance Application /Lot 10, Block 2 Meridian Business Park / Baltic Place. Dear Ms. Stiles: Please find attached a Variance Application for the above mentioned project. This Variance Application is a result of the Flood Plain Overlay District and the Owner's desire to have the finish floor elevation of the building below the required flood plain elevations. Because almost 3'-0" fill will need to be added to the site to get the building above the flood plain elevation makes it extremely difficult to fit the building on the site and make the transitions from the adjacent lots to the finish floor of the proposed building. By elevating the site it would also make the site usable for his concrete trucks because of the extreme slopes. As for the building the Applicant is proposing to construct a 4,125 square foot tilt-up concrete building to be used to store concrete pumping trucks. The building will have a recessed metal roof with aluminum doors and windows as well as overhead doors. The inside of the building is proposed to have a rest room only and open shop/truck space for the trucks. The site is proposed to be fully landscape and paved in accordance with the Meridian Zoning Ordinance. Exterior lighting will be done from wall packs on the building. The trash enclosure is screened by the building as well as a chain link fence with vinyl slats. The site is drained by seepage beds as shown on the attached plans. This building type has the least number of construction joints, solid concrete walls, the heaviest structural components and will not rupture if contacted by floating debris. We are proposing to use City sewer and can add shut offvalves to prevent seepage in the event of a flood. We have attached additional information as required by the Conditional Use Application on the following pages. Please fell free to call if you have questions or concerns. n Sincerely, Larson Architects Cornel Larson n VARIANCE APPLICATION DATA SHEETS EAGLE CONCRETE PUMPING 1. SITE ADDRESS: ---Baltic Place 2. APPLICANT: Eagle Concrete Pumping 645 Edgewood Lane Eagle, Idaho 83616 939-8785 3. OWNER: Rod and Sheri Eisile 645 Edgewood Lane Eagle, Idaho 83616 939-8785 4. LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Lot 10, Block 2, Meridian Business Park A resubdivision of Meridian Business and Industrial Park, located in a portion of the SW 1/4 SE 1/4 and the SE 1/4 SW1/4 of Section 7, T. 3 N., R. 1 E. B.M., Meridian, Ada County, Idaho 5. PROOF OF OWNERSHIP: See attached copy of Deed 6. DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING USE: Vacant Industrial Ground 7. PROPOSED USE: Storage of concrete pumping trucks with minor repair. 8. PRESENT ZONING: Industrial -Light I-L 9. VICINITY MAP: Copy Attached 10. PROPOSED PLANS: Copies of the Site Plan, Landscape Plan, Floor Plan and Elevations are attached. 1 Copy each at 8 1/2" x 11" of the Site Plan, Landscape Plan, Grading and Drainage and the Elevations. 11. MAILING LISTS: Attached copy of the Mailing List of property Owners within 300'-0" 12. PROPERTY CHARACTERISTICS: Due to the size of the site is requires excessive slopes if it is filled above flood plain elevations. It will be impossible to meet the Americans with Disabilities Act requirements as well as good engineering practices. 13. MINIMUM REQUHtEMENTS: We would like to set elevations as shown on the attached Site Grading and Drainage Plans. 14. DIFFICULTY OR HARDSHIP: The Owner would be required to have a site that does not meet federal law or good engineering practices. 15. UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCE: Same as Item 14 above. 16. SPECIAL CONDITIONS: This is one of the smallest lots in the subdivision and it is difficult to raise the lot to the compliance level and have safe conditions for trucks to operate on. Other structures in the area are larger and down at an elevations similar to this application. 17. DEPRIVED OF COMMONS RIGHTS: Due to the size of the site the applicant will not be able to build on this site. without placing retaining around the property lines. These wall would need to be heavily reinforced for the 60,000 pound trucks he uses. The change in the flood plain map has deprived him of the ability to use the site for the industrial use he intended when purchased. 18. SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCE: The flood plain maps in the area were changed due to the unwillingness of the railroad to change their culvert to prevent flooding of adjacent properties. The subdivision was approved prior to change in the flood plain map. The developer has been unable to convince the railroad to replace the culvert. ,~-, 19. SPECIAL PRIVH.EGE: The Owner has a smaller lot than most in the subdivision and hence can not build it as high as larger lots and still have a usable area for building and circulation. 20. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: This area is zoned and being used for industrial uses. It would not be in violation if this variance were approved. 21. FEES: A fee for $260.38 is attached. 22. PROFIT AND CONVENIENCE: The Owner would not have to build retaining walls around the site to use it. The trucks can be removed from the building if flood occurs. The Owner would save the cost of fill and retaining walls. VERIFICATION: The Applicant has verified the information contained in this application is true and correct and does hereby state to the correctness. POSTING: The Applicant will post the property giving notice of the hearing within the time frame required. Applicant's Signature '7_~B - Od Date: "A'D'D t~ i o b .. , . aQA ~ _ ,~JrY RECORDER .1.

The City Council takes judicial notice of its Zoning, Subdivision and Development Ordinances codified at Title 11 Municipal Code of the City of Meridian and all current zoning maps thereof and the Comprehensive Plan of the City of Meridian adopted December 21, 1993 Ordinance #629 -January 4, 1994 and Maps. 2. The requirements of Idaho Code §§ 67-6509, 6516 and §§ 11-2-416 E and 419 D as evidenced in the record of this matter. FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW & ORDER OF DECISION GRANTING A VARIANCE ,~ 3. The Applicants are Rod & Sherrie Eisele whose address is 645 Edgvvood Lane, Eagle, Idaho. The location of the subject property is in North Baltic Place in the Meridian Business Park, Idaho. 4. The proposed land use of subject property is to develop the subject property in the following manner: Construction of a commercial building. 5. That a schematic drawing, of which is attached to these findings marked Exhibit "A" has been supplied. 6. The Applicant requests a variance of the provisions of Section 11-11-3A2 of the Floodplain Overlay District which requires that no structure shall be erected unless the main floor is placed a minimum of 1-foot above the elevation of the 100-year floodplain. The elevation of the floodplain on-site is 26I 1 ft. The floor elevation of the structure is only 2609.25 ft., nearly 2 feet below flood level (and 2.75 feet below the required 1-foot above flood elevation. ) 11. Cornell Larson testified representing the Applicant and Gary Smith testified on behalf of the City of Meridian. 12. The existence of special circi.unstances or conditions affecting the property are: 12.1 The applicant has stated that to raise the building above the flood level, it would require filling three feet above the existing road, requiring steep slopes contrary to "good engineering practices." In addition, the proposed building "has the least number of construction joints, solid concrete walls, the heaviest structural components and will not rupture if contacted by floating debris." FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW & ORDER OF DECISION GRANTING A VARIANCE 2 13. Strict compliance with the requirements of § 11-11-3.A.2 of the Municipal Code of the City of Meridian would result in extraordinary hardship to the owner because of the size of the site and the fact that the use is of a type that it would be less impacted by flooding it flooding should occur. 14. The granting of the requested variance will not be detrimental to the public's welfare or injurious to other property in the area. 15. The granting of this variance will not have an effect of altering the interest and purpose of the Floodpiain Ordinance and or the City's Comprehensive Plan. 16. The applicant paid the fee established by the City Council for application variance. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW 1.

(File VAR-DO-01 S). We have reviewed this submittal and offer the following comments, as conditions of the applicant. These conditions shall be considered in full, unless expressly modified or deleted by motion of the Meridian City Council: PROJECT SUMMARY The subject parcel is within the 100-year floodplain of Five Mile Creek, and is therefore regulated by the Floodplain Overlay District, Chapter 11 of the Meridian Zoning Ordinance. The purpose of the Floodplain Overlay District (FP) is to guide developrr~nt in floodplain areas throughout the City of Meridian, and to minimize the expense and inconveniences to the individual property owners and the general public through flooding. Authorized uses in the FP district shall not hinder the movement of flood waters. The FP district is superimposed over other zoning districts, wherever a 100-year floodplain exists (see Ordinance 11-11-1). Ordinance 11-11-3.A.2 requires that no structure shall be erected unless the main floor is placed a minimum of 1-foot above the elevation of the 100-year floodplain. The applicant has applied for a Variance from this requirement (VAR-00-015). The elevation of the floodplain on-site is 2611 ft. The floor elevation of the structure is only 2609.25 ft., nearly 2 feet below flood level (and 2.75 feet below the required 1-foot above flood elevation). COMMENTS The applicant has stated that to raise the building above the flood level, it would require filling three feet above the existing road, requiring steep slopes contrary to "good engineering practices" In addition, the proposed building "has the least number of construction joints, solid concrete walls, the heaviest structural components and will not rupture if contacted by floating debris." The structural integrity described must be verified by the City of Meridian Building Official prior to issuance of building permits. ~"~ Mayor, Council and P&Z August 1, 2000 Page 2 .~.~ 2. The sewer and water systems shall be floodproofed and approved by the District Health Dept. of the Department of Health and Welfare as per Ordinance 11-11-3.A.1. An engineer must certify that the floodproofing requirement has been fulfilled as per Ordinance 11-11-3.A.3. The applicant is proposing add shut-offvalves to prevent seepage into the City sewer in the event of a flood. The engineer's certification that this requirement has been met shall be submitted with the application for a Certificate of Zoning Compliance, prior to building permits. 3. Materials that are buoyant, flammable, noxious, toxic or otherwise potentially injurious if transported by floodwaters are prohibited as per Ordinance 11-11-5. 4. All machinery and equipment that provide utility service to the building shall be set a minimum of 1-foot above the established base flood elevation. S. Permanent openings (flood vents) shall be required in the walls supporting the building. Openings shall be no higher than 1-foot above the adjacent grade. Windows, doors, or a garage door is not considered an opening for the purposes of satisfying this requirement. Quantity and size of openings shall comply with Federal Emergency Management Agency Guidelines. 6. A Flood Plain Development Permit from the Meridian Building Department shall be required for this application. 7. The granting of approval of any structure or use shall not constitute a representation, guarantee or warranty of any kind or nature of the City governing body or the Commission, or by an officer or employee thereof, of the practicality or safety of any structure or use proposed and shall create no liability upon or cause action against such public body, officer or employee for any damage that may result pursuant thereto. (Ord. 430, 4-2-1984) RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the requested Variance, with the conditions noted above. Meridian City Council Meetii September 19, 2000 Page 65 Chuck Elliot, The Elliot Group -south of Fairview Avenue and east of Locust Grove Road on Wilson Lane: Corrie: Item no. 12 and 13 - I need a motion to do that one after Item 20.

MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Item 14. Continued Public Hearing from September 5, 2000: VAR 00- 015 Request for a variance allowing the applicant to lower the finish floor elevation below the Flood Plain because of the size of the site by Rod and Sheri Eisele /Eagle Concrete Pumping in an I-L zone -Baltic Place in the Meridian Business Park: Corrie: Item no. 14 is a Continued Public Hearing from September 5, 2000 - a request for a variance allowing the applicant to lower the finish floor elevation below the Flood Plain because of the size of the site by Rod and Sheri Eisele / Eagle Concrete Pumping. So I'll continue the public hearing at this time and open it and staff comments. Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council. Gary Smith, I believe has some additional information on what he's found out regarding the FIMA requirements for building in the flood plain. Smith: Thank you, Mayor and Council. My conversation with Fred Eisenbarth at the Idaho Department of Water Resources concerning this issue -there are two, actually three alternatives. One is that the building can be what IDWR FIMA calls "dry flood-proofed." This process or this alternative is used where the finished floor is below the base flood elevation and it is designed to keep the water out of the building. Therefore, all the openings in the building -doors and/or windows that are one foot below the base flood elevation must be waterproofed. I received a technical bulletin from Mr. Eisenbarth and I transmitted that to Mr. Cornell Larson -the architect for the owners. The other alternative is called wet flood-proofing and this process allows the floodwater to pass through the building with openings that are in the walls or foundations. Facilities in the building are elevated one foot above the base flood elevation such that no damage occurs. In this particular case, it's not a feasible alternative. The last thing that Mr. Eisenbarth told me was that a variance could be granted based on a hardship and I explained to him this site and the peculiarities with it and the use that's Meridian City Council Meeti, September 19, 2000 Page 66 being proposed for the site and the need to contain drainage on site as dictated by Ada County Highway District. As I calculated, presently the design finish floor for this building is at elevation 2609.25. Flood elevation is 2611.00, so if you add one foot to that flood elevation and you're approximately 1.75 feet below the flood elevation with the finished floor as it's designed. That means that the finished floor needs to be raised 2.75 feet above its present design. Its present design is approximately two feet above existing curb and gutter. Therefore, in order to qualify this finished floor one foot above base flood elevation, it would have to be 4.75 feet above the existing curb elevation out there and that's not feasible either. Mr. Eisenbarth did warn us that a variance can be - or if a variance was allowed based on hardship, that we could not look at authorizing a variance for all of the lots in this area on the same basis. FIMA would not look favorably on that and I don't know exactly what he means by that but I would assume they would come back and wrap our knuckles a little bit. One building exists more or less across the street -Baltic Place -from this building site. It does not meet the floor elevation requirement. It's obvious just by visual inspection. I don't know what the applicant's architect has to say about the dry flood-proofing option. I did not read the technical bulletins so I don't know what impact that has on the cost of the building. It would be necessary to - on the doorways -the windows wouldn't be a problem, I don't believe, but the big overhead doors that they have proposed in the building would need to be flood- proofed up to a height above the finished floor elevation. It wouldn't necessarily be the whole door and I'm not sure how you flood-proof part of a door other than in the jams - at the bottom of the door -the thresholds. Maybe Mr. Larson could speak to that, but I'm assuming that that flood-proofing is a costly venture and I don't know if the finished floor could be raised any above what exists or what they're proposing - to provide a little more cushion between the base flood elevation and finished floor than what they have shown -and still maintain on- site drainage and still maintain access into the building for their concrete pumping trucks. I guess that's a question that the applicant and his architect will need to answer. Anderson: Mr. Mayor. Corrie: Mr. Anderson. Anderson: I have a question, Gary. In the first place, how the heck did we approve this road being that elevation, and second, give us the big picture. How many of these lots are going to be low and how many times are we going to be looking at this as this developed? Are there buildings already built, or just the one across the street or - Smith: There's just one across the street that's built and its finished floor is below the base flood elevation. Meridian City Council Meeti~ September 19, 2000 Page 67 r Anderson: And how far is this going to be affected? Is it going to go down King Street or just that very tip of Baltic or - Smith: No. It takes in all of the end of Baltic above King Street. I can't relate to you exactly the limits of it. It's a pretty good size flood plain area. The lot at the southwest corner of Baltic and King is elevated -well let's see. It might be the lot next to it - is elevated substantially. I think it is safely out of the flood plain without doing any elevation work. They've hauled in a significant amount of fill on the end of the cul-de-sac down there. They've got quite a pile of material that's been stock-piled down there and I think it's there for areason - to elevate these buildings. This particular lot, because of its size, as the architect pointed out to me today, it's just difficult to access a commercial building with vehicles as this is proposed. If it was an office type building, it would be a different situation, but where they have to enter the building with vehicles, and still maintain on-site drainage, it's difficult as far as the grades are concerned. I guess the only thing I can say about that one building that exists out there is that it's slipped by in this flood plain overlay district. Anderson: Are we in the habit of approving streets below flood plain level? Is that something Ada County Highway District does or us? Smith: Well, the streets are approved by the Highway District, but the streets don't seem to be a problem as far as the base flood elevation is concerned. The problem is damage from a flood to personal properties, buildings -that sort of thing. A flood would impact any storm drainage system that a street would have either under it or adjacent to it. Again, we're caught up in the FIMA flood plain situation which the City of Meridian had resisted to adopt for a number of years and we're finally forced to adopt. You could talk to a lot of folks in the Meridian area -old-timers so to speak and you probably wouldn't get any records of any floods. But nevertheless, the engineering data shows that this is a flood plain area and it's caused by the crossing under the railroad - a restricted crossing under the railroad. Corrie: Anything else, Gary? Smith: I hope I have given you enough information. I haven't given you any real answers other than a variance could be allowed on the basis of a hardship and due to the access problems on the lot. Again, the FIMA cautions us -our IDWR representative for FIMA cautions us on granting a number of hardships in this hardship variances in this area on that basis. Perhaps the architect and the owner could help the situation a little bit by raising this finished floor if you so decide to grant the variance to provide a little bit more clearance. *** End of Side 5 *'~* Meridian City Council Meeti ~ r` September 19, 2000 Page 68 Larson: Good evening, Mr. Mayor and members of the Council. My name is Cornell Larson. My address is 210 Murray Street in Boise. I did get a chance to look through the technical bulletin that we received from Gary today. There's - as he said, not to many acceptable options to us. We could raise the building up a little bit, but as the bulletin continues to mention that we still have to meet all state, local, ADA access codes, drainage codes and whatever is applicable. That's been kind of the problem with this site in order for us to come in from the sites so we slope in and retain our drainage on-site slope back up. We just can't get the building up high enough to meet the flood requirements -the numbers that Gary had given you earlier about raising that site up approximately 4 3/4 feet is pretty accurate basically from what we've looked at from our engineering data. Right now, the site has slopes on it at about three and a half percent at the elevation we've got it at. As soon as you start approaching that four percent mode, car doors slam shut if they're parked on slopes. Front doors - we can't get them open really easy. They tend to close by themselves. It makes it difficult for a truck that has a hopper that's 18 inches off the ground to come over the break-over angles from the street. We start seeing problems that we just can't solve on a small lot by just continuing to raise it up. Somebody has hauled some fill in there since we started this process. A portion of it may be on our site, but it isn't something that we did -but we understand that they're maybe trying to raise some of those lots. We could probably get the slope or the finished floor elevation maybe up 7/10 or'/4 foot, but we're going to be hard-pressed to make it work -meet the ADA requirements, keep all the water on our site and deal with the small site that we have right now. We've talked with the owner /applicant in this case about other options in redesigning the site and we just can't seem to come up with one that still doesn't cause us to not be able to meet standard good engineering practices as well as deal with the flood plain issue. As far as dry- proofing the building, we haven't ever, in our experience, made an attempt at that and I'm not sure what that might entail. The tilt-up concrete building that we have proposed fortunately has very few construction joints in it. There would probably be three down each side and two down the short sides, so it would be pretty durable and pretty sealable from the standpoint of everything but the large overhead doors that are wide enough for the trucks to drive in and out of. We can get the utilities up off the floors. We can provide devices to manually shut the sewers off so that the flood waters wouldn't be getting into the sewer systems. We aren't going to get the floor elevation up very much and make the site accessible for the use. I guess we're asking you to grant a variance based on hardship. We'd like to see if you'd consider that. I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have. Anderson: I have one question. Gary mentioned something about railroad tracks. Did that cause a problem? Is there something that a bigger pipe under that or something that could be done over there that would cure this problem? Larson: We had talked to the developer on the property sometime back and the new flood FIMA studies that were done in the area within the last year or so - Meridian City Council Meeti. September 19, 2000 Page 70 Corrie: Yes. Smith: I think one important consideration in this request and Cornell touched on it was the elevation of materials within the building to a point that would be above the base flood elevation to reduce the amount of damage that a flood may cause. I think that's one of the things that FIMA looks at is if there is a flood, how much damage is there going to be? How much is FIMA going to pay out in a claim? I think if provisions were made by the building owner to elevate these things that could be damaged if a flood did occur that that would help our case as far as - or your case, the City's case, as far as granting a variance if that's what you decide to do. Now, the other thing -Councilman Anderson's comments or question on the base flood elevation, I am told that if it reaches this elevation of 26.11, it will actually be flowing over the railroad tracks onto the north. At every crossing, you will see a similar situation with the flood plain. All of the crossings in Meridian of a drainage way, whether it's Five Mile Creek, Ten Mile Creek, Nine Mile Creek, you cross a roadway, you cross a railroad, you end up with a flood plain that is outside the banks of the drainage. You can see by the picture that Shari has on the board the size of the flood plain and the site and that subdivision. It covers a significant area. The next large area on the other side of the railroad is Pine. Pine Street is a major restriction and Five Mile Creek creates a tremendously large flood plain area. This development does not impact the flood way. You can barely see the flood way as across-hatched area under the dark shaded area, but it doesn't impact the flood way. The flood way is a critical element. No building is allowed within the flood way. So we have this situation whenever you cross a roadway with a culvert or a pipe. At Fairview Avenue, you have a similar situation with Five Mile Creek. The only time you don't have a problem is where a new structure has been installed along with a roadway improvement project. Typically, those structures will pass a hundred year flood. And that's what you're looking at here -the hundred year flood. Anderson: So if I understand you correctly, Gary, FIMA recommends that any buildings built in that flood plain then ought to be built to this FIMA standard? Smith: The finished floor elevation is to be one foot above that base flood elevation. That's what their requirements are. Anderson: We just haven't been enforcing that. Smith: We have, but this one building that's existing out there, for one reason or another doesn't have that elevation. We've probably been because we have fewer commercial or industrial subdivisions in Meridian adjacent to these drainages. We haven't had the situations presented to us as much as we have residential subdivisions. Residential subdivisions probably .get more attention just because of the numbers of lots that are involved in flood plain areas. And again, you can take these flood plain areas out of the flood plain by filling the land and you request what they call a LOMAR which is a Letter of Map Revision .-.., rte. Meridian City Council Meetin_ September 19, 2000 Page 71 on the flood plain. But you have to go through certain process and procedure to get that change made through FIMA. Corrie: Any other questions? Bird: I have none. Corrie: Anyone else in the public that would like to issue testimony? Hearing none. Any questions for anybody on the record here? If not, I'll entertain a motion to close the public hearing. Bird: So moved. Anderson: Second. Corrie: Motion made and seconded to close the public hearing on Item No. 14 - Variance No. 00-015. Any other discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor of the motion say aye. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Corrie: Any further discussion on the variance request? Bird: Mr. Mayor. Corrie: Mr. Bird. Bird: If we don't have any discussion, I will make a motion that we approve this variance allowing the applicant to lower the finished floor elevation below the flood plain because of a hardship by the size of the site by Rod and Sheri Eisele and Eagle Concrete Pumping in an I-L zone and for the attorney to draw up the proper papers. Anderson: Second. Corrie: Motion made and seconded to approve the variance request and have the attorney draw up the proper papers and forms. Any further discussion? Hearing none. Roll-call vote, Mr. Berg. Roll-call: De Weerd, aye; Bird, aye; McCandless, aye; Anderson, aye. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Item 15. Tabled from September 5, 2000: CUP 00-044 Request for Conditional Use Permit to construct a 4,125 s.f. tilt-up concrete building for Eagle Concrete Pumping by Rod and Sheri Eisele in a
