Re: Variance Application
654 E. King Street - Meridian, Idaho
I, Larry A. Eld, am the sole owner of the above described property.
I currently reside at 11085 Thomas Drive, Boise, Idaho 83709. My
telephone number(s) are 887-7669 (business), 376-2524 (home). Please
accept this as my Application for a variance to the Meridian Zoning
Ordinance. Enclosed is my check for $258.65.
I have attached a copy of the Real Property Purchase and Sale Agreement
as proof of ownership as well as a legal description of subject property.
We currently operate a pet cremation service at this address and would
like to include a pet cemetary in the lawn area. I have also included
a map showing vicinity property lines and existing streets and a list
of property owners within 300'. As indicated our property is surrounded
by a gravel driveway, gravel impund yard and a gravel work yard at
Handy Trucking. We would like to eliminate the requirement to pave
our driveway and parking lot. Paving this area would increase the
cost and make the small pet cemetery uneconomical.
The driveway into our property from King Street is gravel, Handy Trucking's
loading area is gravel and the impound yard is gravel. If I am required
to pave my driveway and parking lot, it would be an isolated piece of
asphalt surrounded by gravel. These gravel driveways were in place before
I occupied this property. Our current gravel driveway is comparable
to the surrounding area. The approximate cost of paving this area would
be $25,000.00. This would be a financial burden. Current gravel driveway
is in compliance with the surrounding rea. /r

PROPOSED ADDITION OF A
OPERATION BY L MERIDIAN BUSINESS PARK, 654 E.
KING STREET:
Borup: I'd like to open the public hearing. Mr. Siddoway.
Siddoway: This is a addition to a pet cemetery that is all ready existing in the Meridian
Business Park. Basically stafhreou should IhaveppWeaecommend approvaldsubject to
comments dated June 8 whic y
those conditions.
Borup: Will the applicant come forward.
Eld: Larry Eld. I live at 11085 Thomas Drive in Boise. Chairman Borup and members
of the commission, I made this application because there are no pet cemetery's in the
valley and there is a need. We geze theeawn space thattwe allaeady havle he~ep weon
occasion and I felt if we could u
could implement this very nicely with the facility we all ready have.
Borup: Have you had a chance to read and review the staff comments.
~ -~
Eld: I have and I am a little bit confused that they are asking me to pave the driveway
and the parking lot. I would just say I would just kind of run some figures through and if
I were to require to do that I probably not economically feasible to proceed with the
project. The paving bills would be $20,000 to $25,000. I have a concern about that if in
fact this is what the staff is saying here. The other thing, the trash enclosure area, we
have about one plastic bag full that goes out in the morning that the garbage truck
comes by. It would be pretty unnecessary to build a 3 walled enclose for one bag. We
just don't have trash out there. That is a minor problem. The paving really bothers me.
Borup: Steve would you comment on that.
Siddoway: The requirement to pave is the requirement of our city ordinance and
application like this it should be brought into compliance. Without paving, it would
require a variance from City Council, which has not been filed for at this time.
Borup: How did it get this far without ever being paved to start with.
Siddoway: Well, it has been there quite a while hasn't it?
Eld: It has been there a number of years and of course our access there is right next to
Handy Trucking and none of Handy Trucking is paved so there was nothing said about
paving it. If I were to just pave my driveway and parking lot I still have a gravel access
that goes back to Western Insurance. They are holding yard back there and it is all
unpaved. There is noting paved right there in that area.
Borup: Your parking stalls are not paved either.
Eld: We have no asphalt out there, no. I was not required when we put that in. We got
permission and it was granted to us. We moved the facility to Meridian Business Park I
think in 1995 or 94 somewhere in there.
Barbeiro: Would it be advisable to consider continuing this until the doctor is able to
apply for the variance.
Siddoway: The variance goes straight to City Council.
Nary: I have a couple questions about the application. Doctor Eld it appears that you
said you are willing to use approximately 7400 square feet of lawn for this pet cemetery.
How many animals do you anticipate burying.
Eld: We will sell those by the square foot and I anticipate that oh I can't remember the
number now but approximately 4 square feet per animal into 8,000. Eighteen hundred
that was it.
Nary: I noticed in your application you said that there were no environmental concerns.
You were burying these animals in plastic containers.
~'•. ,r1
Eld: They will either be in sealed plastic container or in a sealed casket if the people
wish to purchase one.
Nary: Do you have documentary evidence that indicates that 2000 plastic containers
containing animals is not going to cause any type of environmental concern.
Eld: I don't have any documented or scientific on that but our intent is that they would
be in sealed plastic containers. We are working with a laminate plastic group over in
Caldwell to make us these containers. I am not talking about plastic bags.
Nary: It is my assumption that a person would choose to do this would be to go and
visit the animal.
Eld: There are some religious believes and personal believes that they just don't like
cremation and they do not have a place to bury an animal out side of their backyard.
There is not a public cemetery available.
Nary: I think you will have some increased traffic. Some people are going to come
there to do that. Do you have any idea of how much increased traffic your going to
have on that roadway.
Eld: I doubt that the traffic will increase even noticeably. I suppose like on Memorial
Day and such we may have 2 or 3 cars come. I also want to put a little fountain and
kind of a mourning wall so to speak, a place people can come and sit and spend some
time. There will be a little bit of traffic but certainly not like your 7-11 or Albertson's.
Most of our cremations as far as we have a pick up service. We have very few clients
that come out. It will be limited.
Nary: Do you have any documented evidence of other pet cemeteries as to the traffic
usage, environmental needs, those types of things.
Eld: I would say no. The only other pet cemetery that I am familiar with is Pet Haven
which has been closed down for a number of years. That was not regulated at all. We
have contacted pet cemeteries. Forest Lawn down in California has one. There is one
in Chicago we have talked to as far as putting this in.
Nary: Steve, there is a statement in the staff report that indicates that there was -it is
an expansion of a non conforming use, but there is not any support that I saw in the
staff report that indicates the reason why the expansion of a non conforming use is
being approved without some analysis as to how much use is going to be in relation to
the current use. Did I miss that.
Siddoway: Anytime there is an expansion even if it is a non conforming use it's
suppose to come into compliance with existing codes. If it is a non conforming use that
burns down for example, it would be allowed to rebuild the same square footage that
'~
they had but not increase it. Once you get into increases, changes of ownership and
use issues it is an addition and that is why it is required to come into conformance even
thought is a non conforming use at this time.
Nary: That was the reason for the paving and the driveway and all that.
Norton: Dr. Eld, I know that you are a very respected veterinarian in the Treasure
Valley. How long have you been practicing medicine.
Eld: I have been in Boise since 1968 and owned and operated Mountain Animal Clinic
until just recently. So I have practiced medicine for 33 years.
Norton: Thank you Dr. Eld. Commissioner's, he has been practicing for 33 years in the
Treasure Valley. Also, don't you take care of the zoo animals.
Eld: I did for 20 years and then turned it over to the (inaudible) teaching center in
Caldwell.
Norton: You have been in this area for a long time and taken care of a lot of pets.
Number one of the general comments by staff they ask this commission to determine
the number of parking spaces that might need to be provided. Judging from your area
here do you think there will be any additional space that would be necessary or can
people park along your roadway.
Eld: On one of the diagrams that Steve put up we drew out some parking spots. There
is three there on the east end and three in front and then three on the south side, so
there is nine that could be if it was asphalted, could be striped. There would be nine
parking spots there. I have one employee and car and I have the delivery truck that
comes in there and we average one or two cars a day.
Norton: Will there be any additional signage or do you have the monument sign that
was on the picture.
Eld: That will not change. No more signage. Nothing changes other then I am going to
continue to dress it up and make it look more like a Forest Lawn as time goes on. I
think if you look at anything I have been involved in has always been very nice and well
kept. I intend to do that here.
Barbeiro: What about headstones
Eld: We are not going to allow headstones. What we will do is have a plate that is flat
on the ground and it will be a small marker plate so you can mow right over the top. We
will have a memorial wall where people if they like can purchase a brass plate with their
pets name and put on there with a water fountain and a bench.
Barbeiro: Would you accept animals larger than dogs
Eld: I would not accept horses there. In fact we are cremating horses there. We have
a machine large enough. What we might do is if someone would cremate the horse we
might bury the remains. We would be working in square feet.
Borup: Dr. Eld you understand the comments that staff made, those are city ordinance
as mentioned. A variance would need to be applied for.
Eld: Someone will have to tell me what to do on that.
Borup: Staff can work with you on that, but this body does not have the authority to
grant a variance and it would be up to city council.
Eld: The only question I have is because nothing else around there is paved and I
would have a piece of asphalt out there in the middle of a gravel driveway.
Borup: That may be a good argument for City Council. Is there anyone that has any
comments on this application. Commissioner's.
Norton: I move to close the public hearing.
Nary: Second.
Borup: All in favor.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Norton: I'd like to move that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend
approval of the request of conditional use permit for the proposed addition of a pet
cemetery to existing pet care operation by Larry Eld, DVM, Meridian Business Park to
include all staff comments specifically number one, no additional parking places to be
needed. We would recommend Dr. Eld seek a variance for the paving.
Barbeiro: We don't want this to go to City Council until he has put in for a variance.
Borup: Can he do that simultaneous Steve.
Siddoway: I think they could and then we would just ask Mr. Berg to hold the forwarding
of this on to City Council until the variance is submitted deemed complete and then be
able to be scheduled for a hearing.
Swartley: Mr. Chairman the one problem with that would be is that if it is recommended
for approval it has to be heard at City Council within 45 days. That is the one problem
with it being held. It would depend on the schedule and whether or not Will could fit it in
on the City Council agenda. The one thing in the applicants favor is there are 3 City
~1
Council meetings a month now. Just two this month, okay. It does need to be heard
within 45 days of recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Borup: Your saying hold it until the variance has been granted Commissioner Barbeiro.
The fastest way for his application would be as the motion stated with the applicant
understanding that he needs to get that variance applied for in a timely manner or it
could cause a problem later on.
Barbeiro: With that I will second the motion.
Borup: All in favor.
MOTION CARRIED: 2 AYES 1 NAY
2. CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR
PROPOSED WANDA'S MEADOW SUBDIVISION - 26 LOTS ON 7.99 ACRES
IN AN R-4 ZONE BY ROBERT GLENN-1440 NORTH OF USTICK ROAD
WEST OF LOCUST GROVE:
Borup: This is the same application we saw a few months ago on annexation and
zoning and now they are back with preliminary plat. Mr. Siddoway.
Siddoway: This was before you the previous month. There were issues on this the last
time it was here. The biggest one was the stub street being provided to the property
provided to the west. The plat that was originally submitted did not have it. This plat
was submitted just today to the clerk. I have not had a chance to review it, but it is my
general feeling that it meets compliance. With that, staff comments dated May 18tH
Standard requirements based on public works issues. The 20 foot landscape buffer
beyond ACHD right of way is required. The original plat did comply with this. I would
say that we would recommend approval based on the comments in our staff report
dated May 18 and allow the applicant to address any concerns he might have.
Borup: Are you saying you want more time to study the plat.
Siddoway: I am telling you I have not studied it.
Borup: Comparing the two it looked to me like the only thing changed is around the
area of the Stub street, we've added a flag lot there on lot 3 and appeared to my
everything else complied. Is the applicant here.
Pavelek: My name is Richard Pavelek, 915 W. Jefferson in Boise. What we have done
is submitted the revised preliminary plat that is before you to address one of the staff
conditions of approval and that was to provide a stub street to the property to the west.
All other aspects are as original submission. What we wanted to do is share with you
the solution that we feel meets all the requirements of the stub street. We have
reviewed this with the highway district and they support this configuration and location

Meridian City Council
Our response to the following recommendations made by the Meridian
Police and Fire Departments is as follows.
Fire Department:
The gravel road and parking lot consists of Twenty (20) inches of
pit run with a solid road mix top coat. It will support at least
70,000 pounds of gross weight. We have cement transport semi-trucks
from Handy Trucking over this driveway several times a day.
Police Department:
We feel that our driveway and parking lot is adequate for our needs.
Our surrounding area consist of Handy Trucking and Western Casualty,
their parking lots are not paved. They have the same gravel drive as
we do.

9. That a vicinity map, attached hereto as Exhibit "A", consisting of one
page, of the proposed scale approved by the City Council showing property lines,
existing streets, proposed district and such other items as required has been furnished.
10. The Applicant seeks a variance of the following provision of the Meridian
City Code, § 11-13-4 D, DESIGN STANDARDS FOR OFF-STREET PARIQNG,
PAVING and in the I-L zone, which provides as follows:
11-13-4 D PAVING:
All open off-street parking areas shall be paved in accordance with the
standards established by the City.
11. All property owners within three hundred feet (300') of the external
boundaries have been notified by mail, and their mailing addresses may be obtained
from the list on file with the Planning and Zoning Department.
12. The minimum requirements of the ordinance that need to be reduced to
permit the proposed use would be the elimination of the requirement to pave the
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND Page 4 of 10
ORDER OF DECISION GRANTING A VARIANCE
BY LARRY ELD, DVM /MEMORIAL PET CARE / VAR-00-012
/~
driveway and parking lot and to allow such areas to remain graveled.
13. The difficulty or hardship which would result if the requirements of the
ordinance were applied to the subject property is that the approximate cost of paving
the area would be $25,000.00, and paving the area would increase the cost and make
the small pet cemetery uneconomical.
14. The unusual or peculiar circumstances which indicate that regulations of
the ordinance should not be strictly complied with are that the driveway into the
subject property from Icing Street is gravel, and Handy Trucking's loading area is gravel
and the impound yard is gravel. If the driveway and parking lot were to be paved it
would result be an isolated piece of asphalt area surrounded by gravel. The gravel
driveways were in place before purchase of the subject property. The current gravel
driveway is comparable to the surrounding area.
15. A literal interpretation of the provisions of the ordinance would deprive
the Applicant rights because the neighboring properties have gravel driveways,
impound yard and a gravel work yard.
16. The existence of special circumstances or conditions affecting the
property is that there is no paving around the area and borders a gravel driveway,
impound yard and work yard.
17. Granting the variance would maintain rights which would be afforded to

BY LARRY ELD, DVM /MEMORIAL PET CARE / VAR-00-012
/'\
others in the same situation.

18. The Comprehensive Plan for the Old Town District is to encourage its
renewal and expansion of the Historical core, to delineate a centralized activity center,
medium to high density uses is encouraged, to provide mix of activities necessary to
establish a truly urban city center, but adequate parking and traffic flow is a concern.
19. The variance would allow the owner to maximize the potential site in
order to generate a fair return on investment.
20. The granting of the requested variance will not be detrimental to the
public's welfare or injurious to other property in the area of the proposed plat, and, in
fact, the development of the plat in accordance with the conditions of approval and the
requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance will prevent the conditions which are the
source of the complaints raised in the public hearing of this matter.
23. The granting of this variance will not have an effect of altering the interest
and purpose of the Subdivision or Development Ordinance and/or the City's
Comprehensive Plan for the reasons stated above.
24. The applicant paid the fee established by the City Council for application
vanance.
