they must certify that all construction meets ADA and FHA Standards.
1.10 Sanitary sewer service to this site is proposed via extensions from an
existing main in Stonehenge Way. Subdivision designer to coordinate
main sizing and routing with the Public Works Department. Sewer
manholes are to be provided to keep the sewer lines on the south and

r.,
1.11 Water service to this site will be via extensions from extensions of an
existing main in Stonehenge Way. Applicant will be responsible to
construct the water mains to and through this proposed development.
Subdivision designer to coordinate main sizing and routing with the
Public Works Department. Please provide the Public works department
with information on anticipated fire flow and domestic water
requirements for the proposed site. Water service to this development is
contingent upon positive results from a hydraulic analysis by our
computer model. Flow and pressure from the existing mains should be
monitored with the Meridian Water Department.
L 12 Assessments for sewer and water service are determined during the
building permit application process. Applicant will be required to enter
into an Assessment Agreement with the City of Meridian.
1.13 Two -hundred -fifty- and 100 -watt, high-pressure sodium streetlights will
be required at locations designated by the Public Works Department.
All streetlights shall be installed at subdivider's expense. Typical
locations are at street intersections and/or fire hydrants.
1.14 Underground year-round pressurized irrigation must be provided to all
landscape areas on site. submit hook- design details based on the
proposed landscaping. Due to the size landscaped area primary water
supply connection to the City's mains will not be allowed. Applicant
shall be required to utilize any existing surface or well water for the
primary source. If City water is proposed as a secondary source,
developer shall be responsible to pay water assessments for the entire
common open area. Applicant has responded that an irrigation plan is being
prepared utilizing surface irrigation water for the watering of all landscaped
areas. The owner asks that surface irrigation water be the sole source of water to
the landscaped area. Applicant will be required to work with the City on this.
1.15 Applicant has indicated the pressurized irrigation system within this
development is to be owned and maintained by the developer. If the
system is being proposed as a private system, plans and specifications for
the irrigation system shall be reviewed by the Public Works Department

pressurized irrigation system O&M manual must be submitted prior to
RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL - 4
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT —40 -UNIT APARTMENT COMPLEX PENN

r..
plan approval. The City of Meridian requires that pressurized irrigation
systems be supplied by a year-round source of water. If a creek or well
source is not available, a single -point connection to the culinary water
system shall be required. If a single -point connection is utilized, the
developer shall be responsible for the payment of assessments for the
common areas prior to signature on the final plat by the Meridian City
Engineer. If City water is proposed as a secondary source, developer shall
be responsible to pay water assessments for the entire common open
area.
1.16 The 10 -foot buffer adjacent to Danbury Fair Subdivision is deemed
adequate.
1.17 The storm drain must be relocated to be fully within the roadway. It
must not cross into the landscape buffer, because it the storm drain
would preclude the trees shown on the landscape plan.
1.18 The landscape plan is recommended for approval with the following
minor modifications: The Austrian Pines at the entrance must be
relocated outside of a 40' X 40' clear sight triangle, measured from the
projected intersection of Stonehenge Way and the entry road. Add three
trees along the pathway stubbed to the east property line, to give it the
same landscape treatment as the rest of the path. Finally, staff
recommends adding one tree behind each building along the east
property line. The applicant is responsible to ensure that no easements
exist that would preclude the proposed landscaping. All landscaping
shown will be required, with the additions mentioned above.
1.19 Storage areas shall be provided for the anticipated needs of boats,
campers and trailers. For typical residential development, one (1)
adequate space shall be provided every two (2) living units. This may be
reduced by City action if there is a showing that the needs of a
particular development are less. Staff recognizes that, due to the close
proximity of Avest Mini Storage just north on Locust Grove Road, this
requirement could be waived.
One (1) additional parking space beyond that which is required by the
Zoning Ordinance may be required for every three (3) dwelling units to
RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL - 5
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT —40 -UNIT APARTMENT COMPLEX PENN
STATION APARTMENTS — PANGAEA LAND PLANNING
accommodate visitor parking (Ordinance 12-6-8-A 2). This could result
in up to 13 additional parking spaces. The applicant will be required to
work with staff to provide additional parking spaces with at least 7 extra spaces.
1.20 The text submitted with the application continually mentions that 25 -
foot wide driveways are being provided. The plan submitted shows 20 -
foot driveways. The applicant should clarify this discrepancy. Staff is
concerned that visitors to the apartments will park along the driveway,
blocking traffic flow. The driveway should be posted as "No Parking".
1.21 Staff does not have a problem with the proposed 15 -foot wide one-way
entry/exit drive aisles. However, the Meridian Fire Department must
approve this design. The Fire Dept. usually requires 20 -foot wide drive
aisles for fire truck access.
1.22 Six -foot -high, permanent perimeter fencing shall be required, except
where the City has agreed in writing that such fencing is not necessary.
All required fencing is to be in place prior to issuance of building
permits.
1.23 Staff recommends approval of the proposed design tiling the Flume
Canal and leaving the Settlers Canal untiled, with a pathway along the
north side of the property. The proposed 5, gravel walking path must be
concrete or asphalt to match the rest of the pathway and provide a more
useable, lasting surface. Staff will work to get the path extended when
the property to the east is developed. Due to the high-density proposed
use, safety may be a concern of the Settlers Irrigation District and the
City of Meridian along the Settlers Canal if no fencing is proposed.
1.24 Proposals for Planned Unit Developments must include a minimum
often percent common area. Common open space shall mean land area
exclusive of street rights-of-way, buildings, parking areas, structures, and
appurtenances except those improvements that are accessible and
available to all occupants of the private units within the PD. No
calculations for open space were submitted with the application. The
applicant should present the calculations to the Commission at the
hearing. Entry landscaping should not be included in these calculations.
Space between buildings, etc. should not be counted. Only those areas
RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL - 6
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT —40 -UNIT APARTMENT COMPLEX PENN
STATION APARTMENTS — PANGAEA LAND PLANNING
that are provided as common open space for all should be counted.
1.25 The stormwater detention area must be designed with slight slopes and
grass to allow it to function as a recreation area for the subdivision to
include it in the open space calculations.. The proposed subdivision is
outside the service area of all existing city parks.
1.26 Staff points out that the design is for one way in and out, with no future
access to the east. In general, staff wishes to enhance the street
connectivity throughout the city, but we acknowledge that a stub street
may not be feasible with the constraints of the site. We simply point it
out as an issue for Commission and Council to consider.
1.27 The proposed 6' X 4' entry signage for the subdivision must be placed
outside of a 40' X 40' clear sight triangle, measured from the projected
intersection of Stonehenge Way and the entry road; or if the sign is
reduced to 3' or less in height, it may be placed within the sight
triangle.
Adopt the Recommendations of the Ada County Highway District as follows:
1.28 Replace damaged curb, gutter and/or sidewalk on Stonehenge Way with
new curb, gutter and/or concrete sidewalk to match existing
improvements. Segments to be replaced shall be determined by ACHD
Construction Services staff.
1.29 Utility street cuts in pavement less than five years old are not allowed
unless approved in writing by the District.
1.30 Locate site driveway 35 -feet north of the south property line.
1.31 Pave the site driveway access to Stonehenge to its full -required width of
24 to 30 -feet and 30 -feet beyond the edge of pavement with 15 -foot
radii pavement tapers abutting the existing roadway edge.
1.32 In accordance with District policy, stub streets to the undeveloped
parcels abutting this site may be required upon review of a future
application for this site.

1.33 Other than the access point(s) specifically approved with this
application, direct lot or parcel access to Stonehenge is prohibited. Lot
access restrictions, as required with this application, shall be stated on
the final plat.
Adopt the Recommendations of the Fire Department as follows:
1.34 Only one egress and ingress into this project.
1.35 All trash and weed will need to be cleaned up on common areas.
1.36 No parking of vehicles or trailers in cul-de-sac.
Adopt the Recommendations of the Central District Health Department as
follows:
1.37 The Applicant's central sewage and central water plans must be
submitted to and approved by the Idaho Department of Health
Welfare, Division of Environmental Quality.
1.38 Run-off is not to create a mosquito breeding problem.
1.39 Stormwater shall be pretreated through a grassy swale prior to discharge
to the subsurface to prevent impact to groundwater and surface water
quality.
1.40 The Engineers and architects involved with the design of the subject
project shall obtain current best management practices for stormwater
disposal and design a stormwater management system that prevents
groundwater and surface water degradation.

Freckleton: Mr. Chairman and members of the commission, I just wanted to point out
that Steve's comments he talked about the fact that the applicant was wanting to leave
the Settlers canal untiled. It is city ordinance that it be tiled so I believe that the
applicant would need to file an application for a variance. In our staff comments we do
state in there that staff would support the design with leaving the Settlers untiled with
pathway along the north side of the property. The proposed 5 foot gravel walk path
must be concrete or asphalt to match the rest of the pathway system. Also, we did not
that due to the high density of the proposed use, safety may be a concern with the
Settlers Irrigation District and also the City of Meridian if there is no fencing along that
canal. I wanted to raise those points.
Borup: I did neglect to open both hearings. I'd like to do that right now.
8. PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR
PROPOSED 40 -UNIT APARTMENT COMPLEX TO BE CALLED PENN
STATION APARTMENTS ON 3.4 ACRES BY PANGAEA LAND PLANNING —
SOUTH OF FAIRVIEW AND EAST OF STONEHENGE WAY:
Borup: Mr. Siddoway I assumed you'd like to incorporate your previous comments with
item number 8 also.
Siddoway: Please incorporate my comments.
Borup: And Bruce Freckleton's. Any questions from the Commissioner's. Do we have
the applicant or their representative here this evening.
Fluke: Mr. Chairman and members of the commission my name is Daren Fluke. I
represent the applicant in this matter. 408 W. Idaho in Boise. As staff stated, we are
asking fcr 40 units on this 3.4 acre site. The site is well located for this particular land
use. It is a very difficult shape. It makes it impractical for the site to develop with single
family dwellings. When the applicant looked at buying this site, the first consideration is
what does the Comprehensive Plan say. It is designated at a mixed use site. That is
because we've got single family dwellings on side of us. We've got commercial on one
side of us and we've got good access to a large number of services which is what you
want for a higher density development. People in this development will not have to get
in their car to go to the store. The proximity to commercial makes it very attractive for
this type of land use. This isn't that high density of a project. The R-15 would allow up
to 15 dwelling units per acre. We come in at something just over 10 to the acre. That
makes sense given the land uses that are around us. It will act as a nice buffer in-
between the commercial land uses, Fairview Avenue and the lower density single family
dwellings to our east. When we came in to look at designs on this parcel, the
configuration is extremely difficult to work with because we come to a point in this area.
There is a lot of wasted land. Our primary consideration was, how do we buffer these
folks, these single family dwellings, from what we want to do on this property. With that
in mind, we design it with a 10 foot buffer strip which we will be building a six foot

past is we stay here and it is twelve o'clock and then we tell the people its too late. I
don't want to do that tonight Mr. Chairman.
Borup: I don't want to stay all night either. We have all ready continued one thing to the
next meeting. If we do some more, then we won't get through the next meeting either.
Let's quite talking about it and get into it.
Brown: I guess I don't have a second.
Norton: I'll second that, I'm sorry but these are way to late. When I get home at 2 a.m.
and have to be at work at 7:30 in the morning, it is hard all week to try to get caught up.
These are way to long agendas.
Borup: Motion and second, all in favor.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
Swartley: Mr. Chairman, why don't you make sure that the people who are here—
Borup: Your saying we are only going to hear one more application.
Brown: I think what we need to do is tell the people who are here for the landscape
ordinance and the preliminary plat that we are not going to get to them tonight.'
Borup: Which is item number 9 and 10 will be proponed to June 13th.
7. PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR ANNEXATION AND ZONING OF 3.4
ACRES TO R-15 FOR PROPOSED 40 -UNIT APARTMENT COMPLEX (TO BE
CALLED PENN STATION) BY PANGAEA LAND PLANNING—SOUTH OF
FAIRVIEW AND EAST OF STONEHENGE WAY:
Siddoway: This is Penn Station Apartments for a proposed 40 unit apartment complex.
The requested zone is R-15. There is 3.4 acres total. There is two canals on site. The
Settlers Canal is the northern most. It is proposed to remain untiled. This is the Flem
Canal which sets just south of this one. This is proposed to be tiled with a –this is the
location of the pedestrian pathway that they are proposing on their site plan. South is
Danbury Faire Subdivision. Some lots have fence and some do not. There is a junk
yard to the east. This property does not go all the way to that. Directly north there is a
vacant parcel that is zone C -G. The proposed apartments would sit between the
existing Subdivision and these commercial properties. Parking half covered, half
uncovered and they have 10 buildings with 4 units per building for a total of 40
apartments. This is the landscape plan. You have our staff comments that are dated
May 18th. We do have a written response from the applicant. One of the issues they
brought up was that they were not submitting for planned development, but I would
point out that this is in the mixed planned use zone in the Comprehensive Plan and as
such is required to come through as a planned development and meet those standards.
Meridian Planning and Z^ng Commission �

screen fence and extensive landscaping in there. We've got a 25 foot internal drive.
We've got 20 feet of parking before you ever get to the building. So your looking at 60
feet before you ever get to one of those buildings. I would point out these folks have a
20 foot set back between their dwelling and their rear property line. These buildings are
something like 85 feet away from these folks houses. They are two story units. They
have balconies off the back, so our objective here was to create an internal courtyard
where we could focus the patios internally rather then having these buildings that lord
over the single family dwellings. You gain (Inaudible) scale with the two story building.
You have the same footprint. You have the same utility requirements as far as hooking
as you would with a single story, but you get double the number of units. If you think
about what may be going in to the west of us, it has frontage on Locust Grove.
Currently it is designated mixed use in the current Comprehensive Plan. Under the new
one we are not sure. It is likely that this would develop with something even at a higher
density than what we are proposing. In summary we think we have developed a quality
product here. We've made very efficient use of this site. Again, we are only at 10 units
to the acre and it is a good high quality project. It works very well for this particular site
and for what the city is looking for in this area. I need to address some of the issues
that came up in the staff report. I hope you have my written responses.
Borup: We did not get a copy of response.
Fluke: On page 2 bottom of the page, small a and small b, driveway width at 20 feet
instead of 25. 1 think that was a miss -reading of the plan. We show a 25 foot drive. On
the provision of the maintenance building, several of these issues all point out deals
with specifically with whether we are a conditional use or planned development. From
my reading of the ordinance as well as the Comprehensive Plan, I did not believe that a
planned development was required and was not aware that that was the policy of this
body. It is not a problem for us. We meet most of the standards but would have to ask
for consideration on a couple of items. One would be the provision of a maintenance
building. For a 3.5 acre site, it is simply not necessary. The land owner contracts with a
company that maintains all of his facilities. He operates several of these type of
facilities. We simply don't need a maintenance building on the site. The RV and boat
storage, Again it is not practical on our site. These units are not typically the sort of
units where we have a lot of recreational vehicles, boats. We do have a storage facility
just across Fairview from us and we'd ask for some consideration on that. On the tiling
of the Settlers Canal, again we feel like this acts as (inaudible) to the project. Our site
plan does show that we have a path along that providing a connection to the east. We
anticipate that that will develop to something at a higher density and that pedestrian
connection will add to both projects. We don't have a problem installing street lights per
condition number 13. It is written awkwardly and we are not exactly sure what staff is
asking for there. We would point out that we did indicated to our neighbors that we
would keep the lighting to the minimum on the site and that we would fit all of our site
lighting with cut off shields. This developer will own and maintain this project so number
15 is not applicable. He will also own and maintain the irrigation system. We would
prefer to provide all of our irrigation from the water right that we have on the property
from surface irrigation water, water (inaudible) hooking to the municipal system to
Meridian Planning and Zr`rig Commission
May 24. 2000
Page 43
provide irrigation. Number 20 is a key item for us. It is talking about an additional
parking above and beyond the two required per dwelling unit. Again we are working
with a constrained site here. I originally laid this site out with one and a half parking
spaces per unit and it worked well. But, of course, we need two so we did that and that
ate up a bit more land. If we were required to add an additional parking spaces, it would
really eat into the amount of land that we are able to devote to open space. I did submit
calculations in my written response showing that we are per your definition of what can
be used for open space, we are at something like 30% has been left open either in
landscape or in usable common open space. That is all I have.
Borup: Any questions from the commission. I didn't see where you really had any
question on any of the staff comments other than the parking.
Fluke: The parking. The provision of a maintenance building and out door storage.
Otherwise, we are fine.
Borup: Do we happen to have anyone who would like to come forward on this?
Fastabend: Greg Fastabend. I live at 1101 N. Shreveport which is in the Danbury Faire
Subdivision and I am here speaking on behalf of the homeowners association to
discuss our concerns not only from us as board members, but also from the
homeowners that they have raised about these two motions. First of all, the change in
zoning from multi -use to R-15 and the proposed Penn Station Apartment project. First
of all in our concerns about the zoning issued, we understand the Comprehensive Plan
of Meridian. We oppose the change in zoning and that approving an apartment
complex immediately adjacent to our low density residential housing would not in any
way be compatible with our existing homes and development. Mr. Fluke has raised a
lot of issues about the constrains that he is under due to the small property size that he
is working with. We do not feel that is planning and zonings problem. You should not
have to make concessions to this proposed development in an extreme nature to allow
it to go forward. We are concerned that a change in zoning of this property would set a
precedent for the neighboring undeveloped parcels. We know that Dennis Baker who
originally developed our entire Subdivision owns the property that is behind
Intermountain Sports and that other owners own the other two horizontal properties.
We are concerned that if this small 3.5 acre parcel is zoned to R15 there would be very
little opposition to the rest of
END OF SIDE FIVE
Fastabend: being placed within this close proximity of our subdivision. We have also
been informed that Dennis Baker had some sort of an easement agreement with
Settlers Construction which is the developer under the Pangaea Group, that he would
be granted some sort of a road easement into his larger property which would allow him
2 points of egress. Ada County has declined a traffic study for the impact of this
development although they have given us an estimate that 264 car trips per day would
come out of this apartment complex. Another issue with traffic is that the entrance or
Meridian Planning and Zr-*"ng Commission
May 24, 2000
Page 44
turn lane into the Idaho Athletic Club is exactly opposite of the turn lane going west on
Fairview to come into Stonehenge. All of this will increase the traffic coming into this
Subdivision. Regardless of what development goes on here, the traffic will increase in
our Subdivision. We are concerned about high density development. In the initial
proposal it was suggested that the apartment complex would benefit the area and
increase property values and we do not believe that is true. We are thankful that this
development has been proposed with our concerns in mind and that they have gone to
great lengths to buffer us rather then place the apartment buildings right on the rear
property line. We still do not feel the two story buildings will be compatible with our
Subdivision. They will be visible from Penrith through the houses and there will be a
large visual landmark as you gone in on Stonehenge. For those reasons we would
greatly appreciate a that this zoning is not approved and the landowner find some other
way to utilize this property and regain his investment in it. In addition to that, Mr. Fluke
did mention that the berm that is going in will include a screen fence, his original design
called for a 6 foot cedar fence, which is compatible with the covenants for our
Subdivision. We would be greatly opposed to a screen fence. Other concerns are the
types of trees, the nature of the berm and—
Brown: Are you telling us you don't want a berm.
Fastabend: No. Our concern would be what types, how fast growing. Some of the
concerns our homeowners have raised to us and ask that we present to you. Another
concern is we have been told the leases on these properties would be month to month
rather than long term. Long term tenants take better care of their property than short
term. We are concerned about our property values because of the way this project is
nested in along our entry to the Subdivision. It may be permanently associated with our
Subdivision. In closing I would like to reiterate that we do not agree with the possibility
this could be rezoned to high density. We would hope that the commission would vote
along the lines of the master plan. Inclosing I would like to present a petition that we
gathered signatures of members of our Subdivision who are opposed to this
development. 99 percent of the people we contacted were will to sign the petition
against the rezoning and possibility of the Penn Station project.
Brown: You said that you think there should be single family homes behind
Intermountain Arms. Is that what your recommending to us.
Fastabend: We would recommend that any development going in would be compatible
with our development that is currently there. Intermountain Arms is a commercial that
would have to be contended with. Next to it is a junk yard
Brown: From previous comments that this commission received from staff, at a
minimum for the mixed use areas that would be a R-8 zone, which is definitely higher
then what would be considered a single family.
Fastabend: Our largest concerns would be the increased density of having two story
apartments on the property. 1 do not think the majority of residents would be opposed to
Meridian Planning and Zr--'ng Commission
May 24, 2000
Page 45
duplexes of a single story that would allow the developer to place a higher density of
tenants or owners on the property but would not create a two story building which would
look down into the back yards.
Brown: You would be closer when you abut two neighbors together and one is two
story and one is not. You only have forty feet between the buildings and they are
looking down in. They are similar uses. Somewhere you have to have a transition from
the commercial to the residential. Typically apartments and higher density are
recommended as you transition to the commercial area. That is historic where ever you
are and that is why in my opinion the Comprehensive Plan is put this as a mixed use.
Fastabend: Is it possible that duplexes or patio lot properties would provide the same
transition. Are apartments the only answer?
Brown: Well, lets say that they were townhouses. Most townhouses that I have been in
contact with are still two story. What you still have is something that is taken a greater
distance away from you. When you have a townhouse like every other single family
owner, you don't want your own backyard so then you have the units closer. This is
what I do for a living. I would put them closer to you if I put townhouses in. I would butt
them up to you. You'd have a two story townhouse that would be closer to you then two
story four plexes. At a bare minimum from what staff is telling me, we could go with a
R-8 and they are asking 10 to a acre. I telling you this is an appropriate land use from a
annexation standpoint. The highway district required you to line up and the reason
Idaho Athletic Club entrance is where it is at is because someone (inaudible) first and
they had to line up with you. That way they can control the traffic.
Fastabend: If a proposal is not made at this time for a road to be made or access off of
this proposed—as far as I have seen so far that has not been proposed to the
commission (inaudible). Is there anyway that would change and they could be allowed
to add in a access which would connect to—
Brown: That would be modifying the conditional use permit and they'd be back before
us again.
Fastabend: On your comments about higher density homes, it may be true that
townhomes would be closer to the existing homes and some of the residents on Penrith
may feel it would be a better solution to have if we are destine to have high density two
story buildings. They may feel it might be better to have apartments that are farther
back from their properties. I personally would feel that although a townhouse solution
would be closer to the residents at Penrith that it would provide a better mix with our
Subdivision in the long run because the townhouse owners would personally own their
own proprties and they would be more inclined to maintain them and be more of a
permanent residnet to their property then a apartment renter.

Brown: Now their owned units instead of rented, then does the homeowners
association not have as much a problem. Lets leave them right where they are at and
they are condos. You buy the space inside that building. Now you have buyers.
Fastabend: That would greatly appease the homeowners association in that that would
change the nature of the tenants and the way that they would interact with the existing
homes.
McNitt: My name is Steve McNiff. I live at 1472 N. Penrith. As far as the project that is
being proposed right now, the traffic issues are a major concern. I live right on the
corner of the proposed project. Whether or not Planning and Zoning Commission can
do anything about what Ada County allows through there is another story. Stonehenge
Way goes all the way through Pine. It is used regularly. A couple of issues I have is
some of the wording under the Comprehensive Plan and the way that Daren perceived
it. First off he said it would be a good project for people to be able to access the
commercial areas around. The only business that this group would be able to access
safely would be Intermountain. Currently there is no sidewalks on the south side of
Fairview or any of the commercial going to Locust Grove. There is no sidewalk on
Locust Grove that would accommodate without crossing either Fairview or Locust Grove
to walk to these commercial areas. I have lived there for 6 years and I am not walking
on Fairview. One problem I have with the two story complex the way they are, even
with the 6 foot fence, I am still going to have people looking into my backyard. It was
first understood that that would most likely be zoned R-8 with single family dwellings. I
would be much happier with a R-8 single level house behind me 20 feet from my
property line than I would be 60 feet away with a 25 foot building looking down into my
backyard.
Brown: That could still be a 2 story because of the site constraints to get the 8 units per
acre—
McNiff: Only if that person was willing to lose month the minute you built it. So, R-8 is
not just single family dwelling. Danbury is a R-8 zoning is that correct. Okay. In their
multi area space they say 2 acres of the site is to be given to open space. Problem with
that is the end down there they must build a swale by the ordinance to allow for their
100 year plane. One point of interest that effect just my house and that's as you make
the turn into that complex there my house sits right there on the corner where the
proposal is set to go in. When those cars come in and make an immediate left hand
turn into that property, I will be visiting with headlights all night long into my bedroom
window. Something has to be addressed there.
Brown: Are you bothered by them coming down Stonehenge now.
McNiff: No I am not.
Borup: Not on the plat we've got. Once they turn left they are going away from your
house.

McNiff: (Off microphone).
Glenco: My name is Matthew Glenco. I live at 1011 N. Maple Creek Avenue. My
comments are brief and not raised by anyone else. One of the greatest concerns is the
nature of the residents in this kind of construction particularly being a month to month.
The problem I see my having entrance as part of Stonehenge which is effectively part of
our Subdivision they by default become part of the Subdivision enjoying some of the
benefits in the Subdivision which we as homeowners association pay our dues to
maintain landscaping between Fairview and along Stonehenge until you get into the
houses. We have a couple parks that are close to that area that will also be utilized by
people living in that structure. I do very much prefer the concept of condos. Part of that
community that is in the Subdivision I do like the idea better if people who are vested in
the area and that would possibly able to be incorporated within the Subdivision as part
of our program participating with the homeowners association and also especially since
I don't see any other way that they can have egress or ingress so they may as well be
part of what we are doing there and participate with landscape.
Powers: My name is Rob Powers. I live at 1348 N. Penrith right where the pie comes
to a point. My concern is that empty space and the adjoining property that is going to
have a access. Looking at that site plan there where it is empty, some day there could
be a road right through there to go to the acreage behind it. I am just wondering. There
is no other access back that way.
Borup: That is not part of this application. There is no road or road easement. Using
your analogy they could build a 30 story office building back there and that is not going
to happen. They would have to come back before us. One of your previous neighbors
said it wasn't even a usable area because it is a swale. This is the drainage swale in
this area.
Powers: What I was told is they were granted access to Dennis Baker who owns that
land behind there.
Borup: We will ask the applicant about that.
Powers: One of the other concerns was lighting. I purposely built my house with the
livingroom facing the back so I would not have headlights. If the road does go in there it
defeats my whole purpose and my property value is shot.
Borup: Thank you. Do we have anyone else.
Billings: My name is Janelle Billings. I live at 1265 N. Sanlan which is right in the very
center of the neighborhood. I have a large concern about traffic that comes through
there. We have a large amount of traffic that comes from Pine through to Fairview and
vice versa. We have had several problems with the speed of people who are not
residents of our neighborhood.

Jewett: Jim Jewett. 4002 W. Teter. Just for a point of clarification, I was the previous
owner of this piece of property. I did enter into an agreement with Dennis Baker for an
easement and as of yesterday we signed an agreement vacating and doing away with
it. There is no more easement across this property.
Centers: Lee Centers. 325 Meridian Street. We designed this not to impact the
neighbors. The four plexes the only windows facing that way are the bedrooms. The
rest are all out the back. I don't know how it got started but we always do a six month
lease. Never a month to month. We are going to screen with a lot of arbavitas and a
six foot fence. There will not be any light penetrations. The gentleman who is on the
corner, we'd be glad to screen him with anything that would deflect light there.
Brown: Mr. Centers is the same unit on the north side of your property. Do their
windows and so forth face the back of the building and is that where if everything is to
the north and it looks like the same units up there, are those different or all of their
windows in their living space facing toward Intermountain Arms.
Centers: All the living spaces are the opposite side of the parking. The only thing in
front are two bedroom toward the parking.
Norton: What type of construction materials are these apartments going to have.
Centers: These will be a 25 year composition roof. They have metal fascia and soffet
and they will be the new vinyl siding. Vinyl windows. Iron Railing. Concrete treads.
Low maintenance.
Norton: Do you have a maintenance or management company.
Centers: We do our own.
Barbeiro: Mr. Centers will these be similar to the properties you have behind your
office.
Centers: Just like them.
Fluke: I'd just like to touch on some of the concerns that were brought up. We heard
quite a bit about compatibility. I stress that these are similar land uses, residential land
uses. Compatibility means what can this land owner do with his property and so it in
such a way that we don't have adverse impacts on other people. We think we have
addressed those concerns by this layout. We anticipated that this would be the big
issue and that is why we laid it out the way we did. We are proud of the layout.
Regarding the comment for setting precedent for higher density's I just say that your
Comprehensive Plan envisioned higher densities in this area and this zoning
designation is in keeping with the Comprehensive Plan that this body has adopted. As
far as traffic, 264 trips a day sounds like a lot. In actuality that is quite a low number.
Meridian Planning and Zc -ig Commission
May 24, 2000
Page 49
The highway district anticipates each unit in a development of this nature generates 6-
1/2 trips per day per unit. If we were to come in and do an R-8 on this with attached
single family, townhomes or detached single family, we would be looking at probably
4500 square foot lots with 50 foot frontages. To do that we would be building skinny
two story structures. If we were able to fit 25 of those units on this parcel, we would be
looking at 10 days a day from each one of those units, which is 250 trips. Right there
we are all most at the number the highway district anticipates. As far as reduction in
property values, there has been no evidence submitted to you that would collaborate
that. The weed patch that is sitting back there now is more likely to reduce your values.
This developer lives in the community and maintains and operates them himself. It
doesn't do him any good to have junky looking facilities with nasty people living in them,
so they are well kept facilities. Clarification on the fence. When I said a screening
fence I confused somebody. We have committed to a six foot cedar fence that will
screen views at least for that six feet. We were not intending on putting a berm on that
property line, however, we only have 10 .feet there to work with and we would rather put
our resources into putting dense landscaping along that road. Cut through traffic—
you've got connections, your ordinance supports connectivity –yes there will be some
traffic that goes through that neighborhood, but again we are a pretty low number of
trips. Those 264 trips are spread out during a 24 hour period as well. Peak hours will
see more traffic but not the majority of traffic. That is all I had.
Siddoway: A couple final comments. I have had a chance to review in more detail Mr.
Flute's responses to our comments. His response to number 7, 1 have no problem with
the modifications. Number 13, 1 have no problem with the modifications. Number 14,
,ve have no problem with the service irrigation water being the primary source of water,
but we do require year around water and we would need to make sure that that is clear.
No problem with number 15 and 19. No real problems with number 20, but I would
bring it up that there are no visitor or parking spaces on this site. Strickly the two
parking spaces per unit and the ordinance provides that the commission can
recommend to council to require up to 13. 1 don't know where they will put it. It is very
maxed out but I just point out that they are meeting the minimum standards of two
spaces per unit with no additional visitor parking and that needs to be addressed by the
commission. Number 21 and 25 no problems with those.
Brown: Your telling me that the ordinance only requires 2.
Siddoway: Two per unit. There is four units we have 80 parking spaces.
Brown: The ordinance does not require the three that your asking for.
Siddoway: What the ordinance does is allows in planned developments that are
residential, one additional parking space beyond that which is required by the zoning
title may be required for every three dwelling units to accommodate visitor parking.
It is the commission's call. It say's maybe, not must be. One per 3 dwelling units, that
would be up to 13 additional parking spaces.
Meridian Planning and Zc_ag Commission
May 24, 2000
Page 50
Borup: Any other questions. Steve, what wculd be the normal secondary source of
water then. You mean tie into city water to be continuous year around.
Freckleton: Members of the commission, the requirement by the City of Meridian for the
year around source is mainly to provide water pre irrigation and post irrigation season.
We don't want people watering their yards in December. We do request that they look
at other alternatives and if they do have surface water that is there from a drain that
may run preseason and post season that they would use that as a secondary. If there
is an existing well on site that they could utilize. Typically they look at the city for
secondary source. You may have seen in other comments as a single point connection
Borup: Thank you.
Siddoway: My final comment would be in the Comprehensive Plan specific to this area
page 28 for the mixed use area at Locust Grove road and Fairview Avenue. 5.17U — A
variety of coordinated planned and compatible land uses are desirable for this area,
including low to high density residential, office, light industrial and commercial land
uses. 5.18U — That existing residential properties will be protected from incompatible
land use development in this area and that screening and buffers will be incorporated
into all development requests in this area. As staff we feel that both these are met by
this plan with the conditions that we requested and placed on it.
Hatcher: Mr. Chairman I move that we close the public hearing—both of them.
Brown: I'll second.
Borup: All in favor?
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
Borup: The motions will be on one at a time. Item number 7 is request for annexation
and zoning. Any discussion.
Barbeiro: I would like to address my discussion to both item 7 and 8. 1 know Mr.
Center's properties to be very well maintained. His management is a excellent property
manager. The site really does not have a real good access. It will —the neighbors
arguments that this will become the Danbury Faire Apartment complex is compelling
and I have to follow along with that. The single access into this Subdivision road does
worry me and knowing that it is on that turn and I do know that turn is not a well planned
turn. It will be a blind corner at times. I am a little concerned that they move the
buildings far away from the neighbors but that now the neighbors have the traffic going
back and forth in their backyard as opposed to having a building in the backyard. There
is a poor access to a left hand turn on Fairview and this property is going to have a
negative effect on that. I would prefer that there were visitor parking in there. While the
new proposed Comprehensive Plan is not in effect and can not be implemented on this,
that land is called for a public use not for a mixed residential.
Meridian Planning and Zc—ig Commission
May 24, 2000
Page 51
Borup: Anyone like to add to that? Anyone want to make a motion.
Norton: I'd like to ask staff, is there anything that can be done regarding that road?
The other question is can the apartment building contribute to the homeowners
association or to maintain that long extension out to Fairview.
Siddoway: It is a land locked parcel. It is the only frontage that it has. No, not unless
the property to the east developed and provided a stub street to them. Currently, the
only frontage this parcel has is at that point. The maintaining would have to be
voluntarily done by the owners of the apartment complex.
Borup: Anyone else have thoughts other than sit here and make it till midnight.
Barbeiro: With all due respect to Mr. Centers and his plan, I would submit to City
Council that we do not approve the zoning request for annexation and zoning of 3.4
acres to R-15 for proposed 40 unit apartment complex.
Brown: I would ask a question to Commissioner Barbeiro what is
END OF SIDE SIX
Brown: high density office and commercial. What would be the finding for that
recommendation.
Barbeiro: I am finding along with a large number of neighbors who are here the poor
access to the entrance. I would like to have seen a combination of single family homes
that went along the existing neighbors at Danbury Faire and then perhaps combine that
with apartments that would go right up against where the Intermountain Arms is at and
giving the neighbors the single family home buffer and putting the apartments up
against there will give yourself a buffer against the commercial zone. That was my
preference.
Borup: And, how does that help their main concern of traffic.
Barbeiro: I don't have a answer for you. I was just giving a proposal of what I thought
would be preferable design in keeping with a poor piece of land and the neighbors
desire to have single family housing abutting their own homes.
Borup: So you saying put some more single family housing in abutting the apartments.
Barbeiro: Yeah, very similar to what we say at our last meeting there Fairview as we
move in to just west of Locust Grove. We have commercial, single family housing and
apartments along that existing mobile home park.
Borup: We do not have a second so do we have any other motions.
Meridian Planning and Zo"^g Commission
May 24, 2000
Page 52
Norton: I'll second that on the reasoning that the traffic situation is a very serious
concern and if we have to wait a little longer until another site is developed until these
people have access in and out another way, might make more sense to just hold off on
annexing that property at this time. The traffic situation on Stonehenge would my
reasoning to deny this.
Borup: Motion and second. Discussion. Would anyone like to reiterate ACHD's
concern on the traffic. Steve. No I don't think they had any. That is why I asked.
Siddoway: ACHD hasn't mentioned traffic concerns as one of the residents testified
they declined to do a traffic study. Most of the site specific requirements have to do with
curb gutter and sidewalk. Utilities, street cuts, location of driveway, paving
requirements, access points. They do state the estimate trip generation of 264
additional trips per day with zero existing but don't elaborate any farther then that.
Borup: Does that usually mean they don't have any added concern on the added traffic
to the road system. If there was they mention it. Any other discussion. We have a
motion and second. If not more discussion, all in favor.
TWO AYES, TWO NAYS
Borup: This was a motion for denial. In light of our constrains on the ordinance and
Comprehensive Plan I am going to have to go nay. You open for another motion. What
is something that is going to be logically be able to put on the back side of a commercial
building and near a junk yard. It is hard to make an argument for single family
residential in a location like that.
Brown: Along Fairview the other uses that have been used in similar situations are
storage units, like the ones behind Fred Meyer. The other ones we have recently
approved have been apartments and other commercial uses.
Hatcher: Although I feel this project has some problems I think with staff's comments,
most of the issues will be resolved. I find myself torn to make a motion to approve it just
on the status of my architectural background and not having any information in the
conditional use permit as to the appearance and design of the building themselves.
Because of that lack of information, I can't approve or deny this project. Architectural
design information I believe is typical application information for a CUP.
Siddoway: The architectural design information was submitted, it is required with the
application. It should be in the City Clerk's—they probably just submitted them on large
sheets that did not get reduced down to the packet size. I believe we could retrieve
those. I know they exist. They show the elevations and the construction materials that
was required to be included with the application.

Thank you for the opportunity to submit comments to your staff report regarding the above noted
applications. In general we are in agreement with the staff report but offer the following continents for the
Planning and Zoning Commission's consideration:
• Our understanding is that Section 11-8-1 of the Meridian City Code allows apartments in the R-15
zoning designation as a conditional use. Therefore we submitted only a conditional use
application, not a planned development application as stated in the staff report. We are not
necessarily opposed to the planned development process but are of the opinion that some of the
provisions found in that section of code are not -warranted by this request. i have addressed
individual requirements by condition number below.
• All driveways its shown on the drawing (and the driveway cross section) are dimensioned at 25' in
width. No variance or exception is required on thi.,� point.
• The responses below correspond to the conditions of approval listed in the staff report:
97 — The owner/developer of this project owns several other complexes and contracts with a
professional landscape maintenance company for the maintenance of all his facilities. No building
is required for the storage or maintenance of equipment on this site.
013 — We are not opposed to installing the required street fighting but ask that the Commission not
require additional lighting beyond that required for the entry and what is shown on the site plan_
We assured our neighbors at the neighborhood meeting that we would keep lighting to a minimum
to prevent tight spillage on adjoining properties.
#14 — A irrigation plan is being prepared utilizing surface irrigation water for the watering of all
landscaped areas. The owner asks that surface irrigation water be the sole source of water to the
f- landscaped areas.
8 #15 — The irrigation system will be owned and operated by the owner/developer of the project.

419 — This provision applies specifically to PUDs, not conditional uses. In any event, based upon
the owners experience with similar projects, no storage of boats, campers or trailers is anticipated
and should not be required on this site. We agree with staff that there are adequate storage
facilities in the immediate neighborhood to accommodate this development.
o #20 — This provision applies specifically to PUDs, not conditional uses_ In any event, two parking
spaces per unit is more than adequate for this development. A requirement to add an additional 13
J spaces would result in an excessive amount of paving and would eliminate common areas that
could be utilized by people rather than cars.
OV-' #21 — The plan and driveway cross section show 25' driveways.
# 25 — This prevision applies specifically to PUDs, not conditional uses. However, the project does
contain approximately 44,959 square feet (approximately 30% of the site total) of useable open
0,V space. Specifically, the picnie/stormwater retention area in the south end of the project contains
b V� 14,750 square feet, the open common area north of the stormwater retention area contains 3,240
ssquare feet, the common area between the buildings and internal drive contains 8,760 square feet
and the open area along the canal on the north end of the project contains 18,209 square feet.

STORM WATER MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that storm water be pre-treated through a grassy swale
prior to discharge to the subsurface to prevent impact to ground water and
surface water quality. The engineers and architects involved with the design
of this project should obtain current best management practices for storm
water disposal and design a storm water management system that is
preventing groundwater and surface water degradation. Manuals that could
be used for guidance are:
State of Idaho Catalog of Stormwater Best Management Practices For
Idaho Cities and Counties.
Prepared by the Idaho Division of Environmental Quality, July 1997.
Stormwater Best iWanagement Practices Guidebook.

Location
n
This project is located approximately 620 feet south of Fairview Avenue on the east side of Stonehenge Way
in Section 7, Township 3 North, Range 1 East. The subject property is comprised of three tax parcels and
contains approximately 3.4 acres of land. One parcel currently lies within the Meridian city limits and is zoned
C -G. The other two parcels lie within unincorporated Ada County and are zoned RT and R 1. The land to the
south and west is developed with single family dwellings within the Danbury Fair Subdivision and is zoned
R8. There is a vacant parcel to the north adjacent to Intermountain Outdoor Sports, both parcels are zoned C-
G. The parcel to the east contains a single family dwelling and is zoned RT.
Site Overview
The site is currently vacant and is surrounded on three sides by development. Agricultural activities no longer
occur on the site. Access to public right-of-way is provided by approximately 97 feet of frontage on
Stonehenge Way which provides access to Fairview Avenue to the north. The site is constrained by its
irregular shape (narrowing and coming to a point in the south) and the location of the Settlers Canal which
forms the northern boundary of the property. The shape and size of the property make it unsuitable for
development with single family dwellings and the proximity to residential land uses make it unsuitable for
commercial development.
Project Overview
Annexation
The land owner is requesting annexation for the two parcels currently outside the Meridian city limits. Those
parcels are zoned RT and R1 by Ada County and contain approximately 3 acres. The third parcel contains
approximately .3 acres and is zoned C -G. Said parcel is about 60 feet wide and contains the Settlers Canal.
Upon annexation the property owner requests that the entirety of the property be zoned R-15.
Conditional Use
The land owner wishes to develop the property with 10 multi -family residential units containing four
dwellings each for a total of 40, two-bedroom residences on the three acres. The resulting gross density of
11.53 units per acre falls below the 15 units per acre allowed by the R15 zone and works well for the site.
Subdivision of the land is not proposed and the development will be owned and maintained by the current land
owner as a single development.
Project Design
As designed the project accommodates ten, two-story buildings (25' in height) and ten carports providing forty
covered parking spaces. Each building contains four, two-bedroom units within a footprint of 54'x 44' and
is provided with two parking spaces (one covered, one not) and a patio or deck. The site design was created
with the primary objective of keeping the buildings as far as possible from the adjoining single family
dwellings lying to the west in the Danbury Fair Subdivision. To that end the site plan dimensions a 10' buffer
strip with extensive landscaping and a six foot cedar fence, and a 25' driveway adjoining the western property
line.
The project makes use of an internal loop drive providing access to Stonehenge Way for all of the parking and
each of the units. The internal drive will be developed to a 25' road section with curb and gutter. Sidewalks
are to be constructed at the front of each building and between buildings, providing safe and convenient
pedestrian access to Stonehenge Way and effective internal circulation for pedestrians. In addition, the owner
proposes to provide a meandering path adjacent to the Settlers Canal on the north of the site with a stub
connection to the property to the east, eventually providing pedestrian access to Locust Grove Road when the
adjoining parcel develops.
The project will be extensively landscaped and will contain an attractive entry feature including a stone
identification sign and landscaping. Almost two acres (1.99 acres) of the site has been left in open space and
landscaped areas with common areas to be planted in grass and provided with picnic tables and barbecues.
Meridian Comprehensive Plan
The Generalized Land Use Map contained in the Meridian Comprehensive Plan designates the property as
Mixed / Planned Use Development. Pertinent policies are found in the land use, transportation, open space
and parks, and housing sections of the plan. In general the site is very well situated for this type of
development. The land to the west is already developed with detached single family dwellings on lots of 6,000
to 8,000 square feet, the parcels to the north are or will be developed with retail commercial land uses and the
it is likely that the parcel to the east will be developed with commercial or office type land uses. This project
will make an excellent transition / buffer between the single family dwellings in Danbury Fair and the more
intensive commercial land uses on Fairview Avenue and Locust Grove Road.
With regard to the policies of the Meridian Comprehensive Plan pertaining to land use, please note the
following:
• The proposed project provides apartments in an area that is well served by the necessary commercial
services and future transit lines. The people living in this development will be able to walk to obtain many
of the necessary, day to day services such as restaurants, retail services and professional services.
• Although the project does not contain a neighborhood park, almost two acres of the site is given to open
space and landscaped areas and a path is proposed to the east providing the opportunity to walk to Locust
Grove Road and points north without driving. Given the size and confi(Turation of the parcel the proposed
layout provides open space that is both useable by the residents and aesthetically pleasing.
• The project as designed and proposed will be an improvement over the existing condition of the site and
will enhance both the visual appearance of the area and the value of surrounding properties. This is exactly
the sort of project that the plan envisioned when it talks about quality infill development.
• Paved sidewalks are provided within the development and will provide safe and convenient pedestrian
access within the development and good connectivity to the existing public right-of-way.
Irrigation
The applicant proposes to tile the flume canal which lies south and parallel to the Settlers Canal. The Settlers
Canal forms the northern boundary of the property and will be left open. In accordance with state law, any
irrigation waters that run through the property will be left undisturbed and will continue to downstream
properties. A pressurized irrigation system will be installed to serve the development with water coming from
the properties existing allotment of surface water from the Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District.
Drainage
This property presently accepts drainage water from development to the south and will continue to do so post
development. A drainage plan is being developed that will accommodate a 100 year storm event by collection
in the south and subsurface piping to the existing point of exit at the north of the property.
Water & Sewer
Water and sewer service currently exist in Stonehenge Way at the north boundary of the property and will be
extended to serve the development.
Fire Service
The project is located in the Meridian Fire District. Augmented fire protection will be provided for the project
as required by Meridian Fire with installation of public water and fire hydrants. Access issues have been
preliminarily discussed with the fire district.
Other Utilities
Public utilities, such as power and communications, will be extended underground into the project.

Meridian City Council
33 E. Idaho Street
Meridian, Idaho 83642
RE: Penn Station Apartments Staff Report
AZ -00-011 / CUP -00-028
Dear Council Members:
Thank you for the opportunity to submit comments to the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning
Commission on the above noted applications. In general we are in agreement but offer the following
comments for your consideration:
• Item 1.1:
All driveways as shown on the drawing (and the driveway cross section) are dimensioned
at 25' in width. No variance or exception is required on this point.
The owner/developer of this project owns several other complexes and contracts with a
professional landscape maintenance company for the maintenance of all his facilities. No
building is required for the storage or maintenance of equipment on this site.
Based upon the owners experience with similar projects, no storage of boats, campers or
trailers is anticipated and should not be required on this site. We agree with staff that there
are adequate storage facilities in the immediate neighborhood to accommodate this
development.
The applicant will submit an application for a variance for the requirement to tile the
Settlers' Canal.
• Item 1.14:
An irrigation plan is being prepared utilizing surface irrigation water for the watering of
all landscaped areas. The owner asks that surface irrigation water be the sole source of
water to the landscaped areas.
• Item 1.18:
A revised landscape plan has been prepared and submitted in compliance with this
condition.
• Item 1.19
Additional storage area is simply not warranted for these 40 units.

n
Two parking spaces per unit is more than adequate for this development. A requirement to
add an additional 13 spaces, or even 7 additional spaces results in an excessive amount of
paving and eliminates common areas that could be utilized by people rather than cars.
Item 1.20:
The plan and driveway cross section show 25' driveways.
Item 1.24:
The project contains approximately 44,959 square feet (approximately 30% of the site
total) of useable open space. Specifically, the picnic/stormwater retention area in the south
end of the project contains 14,750 square feet, the open common area north of the
stormwater retention area contains 3,240 square feet, the common area between the
buildings and internal drive contains 8,760 square feet and the open area along the canal
on the north end of the project contains 18,209 square feet.

computer model. Flow and pressure from the existing mains should be
monitored with the Meridian Water Department.
1.12 Assessments for sewer and water service are determined during the
building permit application process. Applicant will be required to enter
into an Assessment Agreement with the City of Meridian.
1.13 Two -hundred -fifty- and 100 -watt, high-pressure sodium streetlights will
be required at locations designated by the Public Works Department.
All streetlights shall be installed at subdivider's expense. Typical
locations are at street intersections and/or fire hydrants.
1.14 Underground year-round pressurized irrigation must be provided to all
landscape areas on site. submit hook- design details based on the
proposed landscaping. Due to the size landscaped area primary water
supply connection to the City's mains will not be allowed. Applicant
shall be required to utilize any existing surface or well water for the
primary source. If City water is proposed as a secondary source,
developer shall be responsible to pay water assessments for the entire
common open area. Applicant has responded that an irrigation plan is being
prepared utilizing surface irrigation water for the watering of all landscaped
areas. The owner asks that surface irrigation water be the sole source of water to
the landscaped area. Applicant will be required to work with the City on this.
1.15 Applicant has indicated the pressurized irrigation system within this
development is to be owned and maintained by the developer. If the
system is being proposed as a private system, plans and specifications for
the irrigation system shall be reviewed by the Public Works Department
as part of the development plan review process. A draft copy of the
pressurized irrigation system O&M manual must be submitted prior to
RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL - 4

STATION APARTMENTS — PANGAEA LAND PLANNING
plan approval. The City of Meridian requires that pressurized irrigation
systems be supplied by a year-round source of water. If a creek or well
source is not available, a single -point connection to the culinary water
system shall be required. If a single -point connection is utilized, the
developer shall be responsible for the payment of assessments for the
common areas prior to signature on the final plat by the Meridian City
Engineer. If City water is proposed as a secondary source, developer shall
be responsible to pay water assessments for the entire common open
area.
1.16 The 10 -foot buffer adjacent to Danbury Fair Subdivision is deemed
adequate.
1.17 The storm drain must be relocated to be fully within the roadway. It
must not cross into the landscape buffer, because it the storm drain
would preclude the trees shown on the landscape plan.
1.18 The landscape plan is recommended for approval with the following
minor modifications: The Austrian Pines at the entrance must be
relocated outside of a 40' X 40' clear sight triangle, measured from the
projected intersection of Stonehenge Way and the entry road. Add three
trees along the pathway stubbed to the east property line, to give it the
same landscape treatment as the rest of the path. Finally, staff
recommends adding one tree behind each building along the east
property line. The applicant is responsible to ensure that no easements
exist that would preclude the proposed landscaping. All landscaping
shown will be required, with the additions mentioned above.
1.19 Storage areas shall be provided for the anticipated needs of boats,
campers and trailers. For typical residential development, one (1)
adequate space shall be provided every two (2) living units. This may be
reduced by City action if there is a showing that the needs of a
particular development are less. Staff recognizes that, due to the close
proximity of Avest Mini Storage just north on Locust Grove Road, this
requirement could be waived.
One (1) additional parking space beyond that which is required by the
Zoning Ordinance may be required for every three (3) dwelling units to
RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL - S
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT —40 -UNIT APARTMENT COMPLEX PENN
STATION APARTMENTS — PANGAEA LAND PLANNING
accommodate visitor parking (Ordinance 12-6-8-A 2). This could result
in up to 13 additional parking spaces. The applicant will he required to
work with staff to provide additional parking spaces with at least 7 extra spaces.
1.20 The text submitted with the application continually mentions that 25 -
foot wide driveways are being provided. The plan submitted shows 20 -
foot driveways. The applicant should clarify this discrepancy. Staff is
concerned that visitors to the apartments will park. along the driveway,
blocking traffic flow. The driveway should be posted as "No Parldng".
1.21 Staff does not have a problem with the proposed 15 -foot wide one-way
entry/exit drive aisles. However, the Meridian Fire Department must
approve this design. The Fire Dept. usually requires 20 -foot wide drive
aisles for fire truck. access.
1.22 Six -foot -high, permanent perimeter fencing shall be required, except
where the City. has agreed in writing that such fencing is not necessary.
All required fencing is to be in place prior to issuance of building
permits.
1.23 Staff recommends approval of the proposed design tiling the Flume
Canal and leaving the Settlers Canal untiled, with a pathway along the
north side of the property. The proposed 5, gravel walking path must be
concrete or asphalt to match the rest of the pathway and provide a more
useable, lasting surface. Staff will work to get the path extended when
the property to the east is developed. Due to the high-density proposed
use, safety may be a concern of the Settlers Irrigation District and the
City of Meridian along the Settlers Canal if no fencing is proposed.
1.24 Proposals for Planned Unit Developments must include a minimum
often percent common area. Common open space shall mean land area
exclusive of street rights-of-way, buildings, parking areas, structures, and
appurtenances except those improvements that are accessible and
available to all occupants of the private units within the PD. No
calculations for open space were submitted with the application. The
applicant should present the calculations to the Commission at the
hearing. Entry landscaping should not be included in these calculations.
Space between buildings, etc. should not be counted. Only those areas
RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL - 6

STATION APARTMENTS — PANGAEA LAND PLANNING
PI -19
that are provided as common open space for all should be counted.
1.25 The stormwater detention area must be designed with slight slopes and
grass to allow it to function as a recreation area for the subdivision to
include it in the open space calculations.. The proposed subdivision is
outside the service area of all existing city parks.
1.26 Staff points out that the design is for one way in and out, with no future
access to the east. In general, staff wishes to enhance the street
connectivity throughout the city, but we acknowledge that a stub street
may not be feasible with the constraints of the site. We simply point it
out as an issue for Commission and Council to consider.
1.27 The proposed 6' X 4' entry signage for the subdivision must be placed
outside of a 40' X 40' clear sight triangle, measured from the projected
intersection of Stonehenge Way and the entry road; or if the sign is
reduced to 3' or less in height, it may be placed within the sight
triangle.
Adopt the Recommendations of the Ada County Highway District as follows:
1.28 Replace damaged curb, gutter and/or sidewalk on Stonehenge Way with
new curb, gutter and/or concrete sidewalk to match existing
improvements. Segments to be replaced shall be determined by ACHD
Construction Services staff.
1.29 Utility street cuts in pavement less than five years old are not allowed
unless approved in writing by the District.
1.30 Locate site driveway 35 -feet north of the south property line.
1.31 Pave the site driveway access to Stonehenge to its full -required width of
24 to 30 -feet and 30 -feet beyond the edge of pavement with 15 -foot
radii pavement tapers abutting the existing roadway edge.
1.32 In accordance with District policy, stub streets to the undeveloped
parcels abutting this site may be required upon review of a future
application for this site.

1.33 Other than the access point(s) specifically approved with this
application, direct lot or parcel access to Stonehenge is prohibited. Lot
access restrictions, as required with this application, shall be stated on
the final plat.
Adopt the Recommendations of the Fire Department as follows:
1.34 Only one egress and ingress into this project.
1.35 All trash and weed will need to be cleaned up on common areas.
1.36 No parking of vehicles or trailers in cul-de-sac.
Adopt the Recommendations of the Central District Health Department as
follows:
1.37 The Applicant's central sewage and central water plans must be
submitted to and approved by the Idaho Department of Health
Welfare, Division of Environmental Quality.
1.38 Run-off is not to create a mosquito breeding problem.
1.39 Stormwater shall be pretreated through a grassy swale prior to discharge
to the subsurface to prevent impact to groundwater and surface water
quality.
1.40 The Engineers and architects involved with the design of the subject
project shall obtain current best management practices for stormwater
disposal and design a stormwater management system that prevents
groundwater and surface water degradation.

Location
This project is located approximately 620 feet south of Fairview Avenue on the east side of Stonehenge Way
in Section 7, Township 3 North, Range 1 East. The subject property is comprised of three tax parcels and
contains approximately 3.4 acres of land. One parcel currently lies within the Meridian city limits and is zoned
C -G. The other two parcels lie within unincorporated Ada County and are zoned RT and R 1. The land to the
south and west is developed with single family dwellings within the Danbury Fair Subdivision and is zoned
R8. There is a vacant parcel to the north adjacent to Intermountain Outdoor Sports, both parcels are zoned C-
G. The parcel to the east contains a single family dwelling and is zoned RT.
Site Overview
The site is currently vacant and is surrounded on three sides by development. Agricultural activities no longer
occur on the site. Access to public right-of-way is provided by approximately 97 feet of frontage on
Stonehenge Way which provides access to Fairview Avenue to the north. The site is constrained by its
irregular shape (narrowing and coming to a point in the south) and the location of the Settlers Canal which
forms the northern boundary of the property. The shape and size of the property make it unsuitable for
development with single family dwellings and the proximity to residential land uses make it unsuitable for
commercial development.
Project Overview
Annexation
The land owner is requesting annexation for the two parcels currently outside the Meridian city limits. Those
parcels are zoned RT and R 1 by Ada County and contain approximately 3 acres. The third parcel contains
approximately .3 acres and is zoned C -G. Said parcel is about 60 feet wide and contains the Settlers Canal.
Upon annexation the property owner requests that the entirety of the property be zoned R-15.
Conditional Use
The land owner wishes to develop the property with 10 multi -family residential units containing four
dwellings each for a total of 40, two-bedroom residences on the three acres. The resulting gross density of
11.53 units per acre falls below the 15 units per acre allowed by the R15 zone and works well for the site.
Subdivision of the land is not proposed and the development will be owned and maintained by the current land
owner as a single development.
Project Design
As designed the project accommodates ten, two-story buildings (25' in height) and ten carports providing forty
covered parking spaces. Each building contains four, two-bedroom units within a footprint of 54'x 44' and
is provided with two parking spaces (one covered, one not) and a patio or deck. The site design was created
with the primary objective of keeping the buildings as far as possible from the adjoining single family
dwellings lying to the west in the Danbury Fair Subdivision. To that end the site plan dimensions a 10' buffer
strip with extensive landscaping and a six foot cedar fence, and a 25' driveway adjoining the western property
line.
The project makes use of an internal loop drive providing access to Stonehenge Way for all of the parking and
each of the units. The internal drive will be developed to a 25' road section with curb and gutter. Sidewalks
are to be constructed at the front of each building and between buildings, providing safe and convenient
pedestrian access to Stonehenge Way and effective internal circulation for pedestrians. In addition, the owner
proposes to provide a meandering path adjacent to the Settlers Canal on the north of the site with a stub
connection to the property to the east, eventually providing pedestrian access to Locust Grove Road when the
adjoining parcel develops.
The project will be extensively landscaped and will contain an attractive entry feature including a stone
identification sign and landscaping. Almost two acres (1.99 acres) of the site has been left in open space and
landscaped areas with common areas to be planted in grass and provided with picnic tables and barbecues.
Meridian Comprehensive Plan
The Generalized Land Use Map contained in the Meridian Comprehensive Plan designates the property as
Mixed / Planned Use Development. Pertinent policies are found in the land use, transportation, open space
and parks, and housing sections of the plan. In general the site is very well situated for this type of
development. The land to the west is already developed with detached single family dwellings on lots of 6,000
to 8,000 square feet, the parcels to the north are or will be developed with retail commercial land uses and the
it is likely that the parcel to the east will be developed with commercial or office type land uses. This project
will make an excellent transition / buffer between the single family dwellings in Danbury Fair and the more
intensive commercial land uses on Fairview Avenue and Locust Grove Road.
With regard to the policies of the Meridian Comprehensive Plan pertaining to land use, please note the
following:
• The proposed project provides apartments in an area that is well served by the necessary commercial
services and future transit lines. The people living in this development will be able to walk to obtain many
of the necessary, day to day services such as restaurants, retail services and professional services.
2
• Although the project does not contain a neighborhood park, almost two acres of the site is given to open
space and landscaped areas and a path is proposed to the east providing the opportunity to walk to Locust
Grove Road and points north without driving. Given the size and configuration of the parcel the proposed
layout provides open space that is both useable by the residents and aesthetically pleasing.
• The project as designed and proposed will be an improvement over the existing condition of the site and
will enhance both the visual appearance of the area and the value of surrounding properties. This is exactly
the sort of project that the plan envisioned when it talks about quality infill development.
• Paved sidewalks are provided within the development and will provide safe and convenient pedestrian
access within the development and good connectivity to the existing public right-of-way.
Irrigation
The applicant proposes to tile the flume canal which lies south and parallel to the Settlers Canal. The Settlers
Canal forms the northern boundary of the property and will be left open. In accordance with state law, any
irrigation waters that run through the property will be left undisturbed and will continue to downstream
properties. A pressurized irrigation system will be installed to serve the development with water coming from
the properties existing allotment of surface water from the Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District.
Drainage
This property presently accepts drainage water from development to the south and will continue to do so post
development. A drainage plan is being developed that will accommodate a 100 year storm event by collection
in the south and subsurface piping to the existing point of exit at the north of the property.
Water & Sewer
Water and sewer service currently exist in Stonehenge Way at the north boundary of the property and will be
extended to serve the development.
Fire Service
The project is located in the Meridian Fire District. Augmented fire protection will be provided for the project
as required by Meridian Fire with installation of public water and fire hydrants. Access issues have been
preliminarily discussed with the fire district.
Other Utilities
Public utilities, such as power and communications, will be extended underground into the project.

RE: Penn Station Apartments Development Agreement
Dear Mr. Nichols:
1 am writing to request a modification to the development agreement for the Penn Station Apartments
which were recently approved by the City of Meridian. Said agreement listed the undersigned as a
signatory on the agreement, apparently because I was listed as the applicant on the application. 1 was
hired by the owner/developer of the project, Mr. Lee Centers of Centers Construction to act as his agent
and shepherd the application through the entitlement process. I was listed as the applicant simply because
I needed to be notified of the hearing dates and other correspondence from the city related to the project.
1 do not have, nor have I ever had, an interest in, nor ownership of the land or the development approved
for the land. I therefore respectfully request that you remove any reference to myself or my company,
Pangaea Land Planning, from the development agreement between the City of Meridian and Mr. Centers
relative to the Penn Station Apartments.
Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,

modifications: The Austrian Pines at the entrance must be relocated outside of
a 40' X 40' clear sight triangle, measured from the projected intersection of
Stonehenge Way and the entry road. Add three trees along the pathway
stubbed to the east property line, to give it the same landscape treatment as

1.11 Water service to this site will be via extensions from extensions of an
existing main in Stonehenge Way. Applicant will be responsible to
construct the water mains to and through this proposed development.
Subdivision designer to coordinate main sizing and routing with the
Public Works Department. Please provide the Public works department
with information on anticipated fire flow and domestic water
requirements for the proposed site. Water service to this development is
contingent upon positive results from a hydraulic analysis by our
computer model. Flow and pressure from the existing mains should be
monitored with the Meridian Water Department.
1.12 Assessments for sewer and water service are determined during the
building permit application process. Applicant will be required to enter
into an Assessment Agreement with the City of Meridian.
1.13 Two -hundred -fifty- and 100 -watt, high-pressure sodium streetlights will
be required at locations designated by the Public Works Department.
All streetlights shall be installed at subdivider's expense. Typical
locations are at street intersections and/or fire hydrants.
1.14 Underground year-round pressurized irrigation must be provided to all
landscape areas on site. submit hook- design details based on the
proposed landscaping. Due to the size landscaped area primary water
supply connection to the City's mains will not be allowed. Applicant
shall be required to utilize any existing surface or well water for the
primary source. If City water is proposed as a secondary source,
developer shall be responsible to pay water assessments for the entire
common open area. Applicant has responded that an irrigation plan is being
prepared utilizing surface irrigation water for the watering of all landscaped
areas. The owner asks that surface irrigation water be the sole source of water to
the landscaped area. Applicant will be required to work with the City on this.
1.15 Applicant has indicated the pressurized irrigation system within this
development is to be owned and maintained by the developer. If the
system is being proposed as a private system, plans and specifications for
the irrigation system shall be reviewed by the Public Works Department
as part of the development plan review process. A draft copy of the
pressurized irrigation system O&M manual must be submitted prior to
RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL - 4

plan approval. The City of Meridian requires that pressurized irrigation
systems be supplied by a year-round source of water. If a creek or well
source is not available, a single -point connection to the culinary water
system shall be required. If a single -point connection is utilized, the
developer shall be responsible for the payment of assessments for the
common areas prior to signature on the final plat by the Meridian City
Engineer. If City water is proposed as a secondary source, developer shall
be responsible to pay water assessments for the entire common open
area.
1.16 The 10 -foot buffer adjacent to Danbury Fair Subdivision is deemed
adequate.
1.17 The storm drain must be relocated to be fully within the roadway. It
must not cross into the landscape buffer, because it the storm drain
would preclude the trees shown on the landscape plan.
1.18 The landscape plan is recommended for approval with the following
minor modifications: The Austrian Pines at the entrance must be
relocated outside of a 40' X 40' clear sight triangle, measured from the
projected intersection of Stonehenge Way and the entry road. Add three
trees along the pathway stubbed to the east property line, to give it the
same landscape treatment as the rest of the path. Finally, staff
recommends adding one tree behind each building along the east
property line. The applicant is responsible to ensure that no easements
exist that would preclude the proposed landscaping. All landscaping
shown will be required, with the additions mentioned above.
1.19 Storage areas shall be provided for the anticipated needs of boats,
campers and trailers. For typical residential development, one (1)
adequate space shall be provided every two (2) living units. This may be
reduced by City action if there is a showing that the needs of a
particular development are less. Staff recognizes that, due to the close
proximity of Avest Mini Storage just north on Locust Grove Road, this
requirement could be waived.
One (1) additional parking space beyond that which is required by the
Zoning Ordinance may be required for every three (3) dwelling units to
RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL - S
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT —40 -UNIT APARTMENT COMPLEX PENN
STATION APARTMENTS — PANGAEA LAND PLANNING
accommodate visitor parking (Ordinance 12-6-8-A 2). This could result
in up to 13 additional parking spaces. The applicant will he required to
work with staff to provide additional parking spaces with at least 7 extra spaces.
1.20 The text submitted with the application continually mentions that 25 -
foot wide driveways are being provided. The plan submitted shows 20 -
foot driveways. The applicant should clarify this discrepancy. Staff is
concerned that visitors to the apartments will park along the driveway,
blocking traffic flow. The driveway should be posted as "No Parking".
1.21 Staff does not have a problem with the proposed 15 -foot wide one-way
entry/exit drive aisles. However, the Meridian Fire Department must
approve this design. The Fire Dept. usually requires 20 -foot wide drive
aisles for fire truck access.
1.22 Six -foot -high, permanent perimeter fencing shall be required, except
where the City has agreed in writing that such fencing is not necessary.
All required fencing is to be in place prior to issuance of building
permits.
1.23 Staff recommends approval of the proposed design tiling the Flume
Canal and leaving the Settlers Canal untiled, with a pathway along the
north side of the property. The proposed 5, gravel waMng path must be
concrete or asphalt to match the rest of the pathway and provide a more
useable, lasting surface. Staff will work to get the path extended when
the property to the east is developed. Due to the high-density proposed
use, safety may be a concern of the Settlers Irrigation District and the
City of Meridian along the Settlers Canal if no fencing is proposed.
1.24 Proposals for Planned Unit Developments must include a minimum
often percent common area. Common open space shall mean land area
exclusive of street rights-of-way, buildings, parking areas, structures, and
appurtenances except those improvements that are accessible and
available to all occupants of the private units within the PD. No
calculations for open space were submitted with the application. The
applicant should present the calculations to the Commission at the
hearing. Entry landscaping should not be included in these calculations.
Space between buildings, etc. should not be counted. Only those areas
RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL - 6
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT —40 -UNIT APARTMENT COMPLEX PENN
STATION APARTMENTS — PANGAEA LAND PLANNING
that are provided as common open space for all should be counted.
1.25 The stormwater detention area must be designed with slight slopes and
grass to allow it to function as a recreation area for the subdivision to
include it in the open space calculations.. The proposed subdivision is
outside the service area of all existing city parks.
1.26 Staff points out that the design is for one way in and out, with no future
access to the east. In general, staff wishes to enhance the street
connectivity throughout the city, but we acknowledge that a stub street
may not be feasible with the constraints of the site. We simply point it
out as an issue for Commission and Council to consider.
1.27 The proposed 6' X 4' entry signage for the subdivision must be placed
outside of a 40' X 40' clear sight triangle, measured from the projected
intersection of Stonehenge Way and the entry road; or if the sign is
reduced to 3' or less in height, it may be placed within the sight
triangle.
Adopt the Recommendations of the Ada County Highway District as follows:
1.28 Replace damaged curb, gutter and/or sidewalk on Stonehenge Way with
new curb, gutter and/or concrete sidewalk to match existing
improvements. Segments to be replaced shall be determined by ACHD
Construction Services staff.
1.29 Utility street cuts in pavement less than five years old are not allowed
unless approved in writing by the District.
1.30 Locate site driveway 35 -feet north of the south property line.
1.31 Pave the site driveway access to Stonehenge to its full -required width of
24 to 30 -feet and 30 -feet beyond the edge of pavement with 15 -foot
radii pavement tapers abutting the existing roadway edge.
1.32 In accordance with District policy, stub streets to the undeveloped
parcels abutting this site may be required upon review of a future
application for this site.

Freckleton: Mr. Chairman and members of the commission, I just wanted to point out
that Steve's comments he talked about the fact that the applicant was wanting to leave
the Settlers canal untiled. It is city ordinance that it be tiled so I believe that the
applicant would need to file an application for a variance. In our staff comments we do
state in there that staff would support the design with leaving the Settlers untiled with
pathway along the north side of the property. The proposed 5 foot gravel walk path
must be concrete or asphalt to match the rest of the pathway system. Also, we did not
that due to the high density of the proposed use, safety may be a concern with the
Settlers Irrigation District and also the City of Meridian if there is no fencing along that

8. PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR
PROPOSED 40 -UNIT APARTMENT COMPLEX TO BE CALLED PENN
STATION APARTMENTS ON 3.4 ACRES BY PANGAEA LAND PLANNING –
SOUTH OF FAIRVIEW AND EAST OF STONEHENGE WAY:
Borup: Mr. Siddoway I assumed you'd like to incorporate your previous comments with
item number 8 also.
Siddoway: Please incorporate my comments.
Borup: And Bruce Freckleton's. Any questions from the Commissioner's. Do we have
the applicant or their representative here this evening.
Fluke: Mr. Chairman and members of the commission my name is Daren Fluke. I
represent the applicant in this matter. 408 W. Idaho in Boise. As staff stated, we are
asking for 40 units on this 3.4 acre site. The site is well located for this particular land
use. It is a very difficult shape. It makes it impractical for the site to develop with single
family dwellings. When the applicant looked at buying this site, the first consideration is
what does the Comprehensive Plan say. It is designated at a mixed use site. That is
because we've got single family dwellings on side of us. We've got commercial on one
side of us and we've got good access to a large number of services which is what you
want for a higher density development. People in this development will not have to get
in their car to go to the store. The proximity to commercial makes it very attractive for
this type of land use. This isn't that high density of a project. The R-15 would allow up
to 15 dwelling units per acre. We come in at something just over 10 to the acre. That
makes sense given the land uses that are around us. It will act as a nice buffer in-
between the commercial land uses, Fairview Avenue and the lower density single family
dwellings to our east. When we came in to look at designs on this parcel, the
configuration is extremely difficult to work with because we come to a point in this area.
There is a lot of wasted land. Our primary consideration was, how do we buffer these
folks, these single family dwellings, from what we want to do on this property. With that
in mind, we design it with a 10 foot buffer strip which we will be building a six foot

Borup: Your saying we are only going to hear one more application.

7. PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR ANNEXATION AND ZONING OF 3.4
ACRES TO R-15 FOR PROPOSED 40 -UNIT APARTMENT COMPLEX (TO BE
CALLED PENN STATION) BY PANGAEA LAND PLANNING—SOUTH OF
FAIRVIEW AND EAST OF STONEHENGE WAY:
Siddoway: This is Penn Station Apartments for a proposed 40 unit apartment complex.
The requested zone is R-15. There is 3.4 acres total. There is two canals on site. The
Settlers Canal is the northern most. It is proposed to remain untiled. This is the Flem
Canal which sets just south of this one. This is proposed to be tiled with a –this is the
location of the pedestrian pathway that they are proposing on their site plan. South is
Danbury Faire Subdivision. Some lots have fence and some do not. There is a junk
yard to the east. This property does not go all the way to that. Directly north there is a
vacant parcel that is zone C -G. The proposed apartments would sit between the
existing Subdivision and these commercial properties. Parking half covered, half
uncovered and they have 10 buildings with 4 units per building for a total of 40
apartments. This is the landscape plan. You have our staff comments that are dated
May 18tH. We do have a written response from the applicant. One of the issues they
brought up was that they were not submitting for planned development, but I would
point out that this is in the mixed planned use zone in the Comprehensive Plan and as
such is required to come through as a planned development and meet those standards.
Meridian Planning anc ning Commission

screen fence and extensive landscaping in there. We've got a 25 foot internal drive.
We've got 20 feet of parking before you ever get to the building. So your looking at 60
feet before you ever get to one of those buildings. I would point out these folks have a
20 foot set back between their dwelling and their rear property line. These buildings are
something like 85 feet away from these folks houses. They are two story units. They
have balconies off the back, so our objective here was to create an internal courtyard
where we could focus the patios internally rather then having these buildings that lord
over the single family dwellings. You gain (Inaudible) scale with the two story building.
You have the same footprint. You have the same utility requirements as far as hooking
as you would with a single story, but you get double the number of units. If you think
about what may be going in to the west of us, it has frontage on Locust Grove.
Currently it is designated mixed use in the current Comprehensive Plan. Under the new
one we are not sure. It is likely that this would develop with something even at a higher
density than what we are proposing. In summary we think we have developed a quality
product here. We've made very efficient use of this site. Again, we are only at 10 units
to the acre and it is a good high quality project. It works very well for this particular site
and for what the city is looking for in this area. I need to address some of the issues
that came up in the staff report. I hope you have my written responses.
Borup: We did not get a copy of response.
Fluke: On page 2 bottom of the page, small a and small b, driveway width at 20 feet
instead of 25. 1 think that was a miss -reading of the plan. We show a 25 foot drive. On
the provision of the maintenance building, several of these issues all point out deals
with specifically with whether we are a conditional use or planned development. From
my reading of the ordinance as well as the Comprehensive Plan, I did not believe that a
planned development was required and was not aware that that was the policy of this
body. It is not a problem for us. We meet most of the standards but would have to ask
for consideration on a couple of items. One would be the provision of a maintenance
building. For a 3.5 acre site, it is simply not necessary. The land owner contracts with a
company that maintains all of his facilities. He operates several of these type of
facilities. We simply don't need a maintenance building on the site. The RV and boat
storage, Again it is not practical on our site. These units are not typically the sort of
units where we have a lot of recreational vehicles, boats. We do have a storage facility
just across Fairview from us and we'd ask for some consideration on that. On the tiling
of the Settlers Canal, again we feel like this acts as (inaudible) to the project. Our site
plan does show that we have a path along that providing a connection to the east. We
anticipate that that will develop to something at a higher density and that pedestrian
connection will add to both projects. We don't have a problem installing street lights per
condition number 13. It is written awkwardly and we are not exactly sure what staff is
asking for there. We would point out that we did indicated to our neighbors that we
would keep the lighting to the minimum on the site and that we would fit all of our site
lighting with cut off shields. This developer will own and maintain this project so number
15 is not applicable. He will also own and maintain the irrigation system. We would
prefer to provide all of our irrigation from the water right that we have on the property
from surface irrigation water, water (inaudible) hooking to the municipal system to
Meridian Planning anc'—)ning Commission �.
May 24, 2000
Page 43
provide irrigation. Number 20 is a key item for us. It is talking about an additional
parking above and beyond the two required per dwelling unit. Again we are working
with a constrained site here. I originally laid this site out with one and a half parking
spaces per unit and it worked well. But, of course, we need two so we did that and that
ate up a bit more land. If we were required to add an additional parking spaces, it would
really eat into the amount of land that we are able to devote to open space. I did submit
calculations in my written response showing that we are per your definition of what can
be used for open space, we are at something like 30% has been left open either in
landscape or in usable common open space. That is all I have.
Borup: Any questions from the commission. I didn't see where you really had any
question on any of the staff comments other than the parking.
Fluke: The parking. The provision of a maintenance building and out door storage.
Otherwise, we are fine.
Borup: Do we happen to have anyone who would like to come forward on this?
Fastabend: Greg Fastabend. I live at 1101 N. Shreveport which is in the Danbury Faire
Subdivision and I am here speaking on behalf of the homeowners association to
discuss our concerns not only from us as board members, but also from the
homeowners that they have raised about these two motions. First of all, the change in
zoning from multi -use to R-15 and the proposed Penn Station Apartment project. First
of all in our concerns about the zoning issued, we understand the Comprehensive Plan
of Meridian. We oppose the change in zoning and that approving an apartment
complex immediately adjacent to our low density residential housing would not in any
way be compatible with our existing homes and development. Mr. Fluke has raised a
lot of issues about the constrains that he is under due to the small property size that he
is working with. We do not feel that is planning and zonings problem. You should not
have to make concessions to this proposed development in an extreme nature to allow
it to go forward. We are concerned that a change in zoning of this property would set a
precedent for the neighboring undeveloped parcels. We know that Dennis Baker who
originally developed our entire Subdivision owns the property that is behind
Intermountain Sports and that other owners own the other two horizontal properties.
We are concerned that if this small 3.5 acre parcel is zoned to R15 there would be very
little opposition to the rest of
END OF SIDE FIVE
Fastabend: being placed within this close proximity of our subdivision. We have also
been informed that Dennis Baker had some sort of an easement agreement with
Settlers Construction which is the developer under the Pangaea Group, that he would
be granted some sort of a road easement into his larger property which would allow him
2 points of egress. Ada County has declined a traffic study for the impact of this
development although they have given us an estimate that 264 car trips per day would
come out of this apartment complex. Another issue with traffic is that the entrance or
Meridian Planning and ^ ning Commission
May 24, 2000
Page 44
turn lane into the Idaho Athletic Club is exactly opposite cf the turns lane going west on
Fairview to come into Stonehenge. All of this will increase the traffic coming into this
Subdivision. Regardless of what development goes on here, the traffic will increase in
our Subdivision. We are concerned about high density development. In the initial
proposal it was suggested that the apartment complex would benefit the area and
increase property values and we do not believe that is true. We are thankful that this
development has been proposed with our concerns in mind and that they have gone to
great lengths to buffer us rather then place the apartment buildings right on the rear
property line. We still do not feel the two story buildings will be compatible with our
Subdivision. They will be visible from Penrith through the houses and there will be a
large visual landmark as you gone in on Stonehenge. For those reasons we would
greatly appreciate a that this zoning is not approved and the landowner find some other
way to utilize this property and regain his investment in it. In addition to that, Mr. Fluke
did mention that the berm that is going in will include a screen fence, his original design
called for a 6 foot cedar fence, which is compatible with the covenants for our
Subdivision. We would be greatly opposed to a screen fence. Other concerns are the
types of trees, the nature of the berm and—
Brown: Are you telling us you don't want a berm.
Fastabend: No. Our concern would be what types, how fast growing. Some of the
concerns our homeowners have raised to us and ask that we present to you. Another
concern is we have been told the leases on these properties would be month to month
rather than long term. Long term tenants take better care of their property than short
term. We are concerned about our property values because of the way this project is
nested in along our entry to the Subdivision. It may be permanently associated with our
Subdivision. In closing I would like to reiterate that we do not agree with the possibility
this could be rezoned to high density. We would hope that the commission would vote
along the lines of the master plan. Inclosing I would like to present a petition that we
gathered signatures of members of our Subdivision who are opposed to this
development. 99 percent of the people we contacted were will to sign the petition
against the rezoning and possibility of the Penn Station project.
Brown: You said that you think there should be single family homes behind
Intermountain Arms. Is that what your recommending to us.
Fastabend: We would recommend that any development going in would be compatible
with our development that is currently there. Intermountain Arms is a commercial that
would have to be contended with. Next to it is a junk yard
Brown: From previous comments that this commission received from staff, at a
minimum for the mixed use areas that would be a R-8 zone, which is definitely higher
then what would be considered a single family.
Fastabend: Our largest concerns would be the increased density of having two story
apartments on the property. I do not think the majority of residents would be opposed to
Meridian Planning and _ ning Commission
May 24, 2000
Page 45
duplexes of a single story that would allow the developer to place a higher density of
tenants or owners on the property but would not create a two story building which would
look down into the back yards.
Brown: You would be closer when you abut two neighbors together and one is two
story and one is not. You only have forty feet between the buildings and they are
looking down in. They are similar uses. Somewhere you have to have a transition from
the commercial to the residential. Typically apartments and higher density are
recommended as you transition to the commercial area. That is historic where ever you
are and that is why in my opinion the Comprehensive Plan is put this as a mixed use.
Fastabend: Is it possible that duplexes or patio lot properties would provide the same
transition. Are apartments the only answer?
Brown: Well, lets say that they were townhouses. Most townhouses that I have been in
contact with are still two story. What you still have is something that is taken a greater
distance away from you. When you have a townhouse like every other single family
owner, you don't want your own backyard so then you have the units closer. This is
what I do for a living. I would put them closer to you if I put townhouses in. I would butt
them up to you. You'd have a two story townhouse that would be closer to you then two
story four plexes. At a bare minimum from what staff is telling me, we could go with a
R-8 and they are asking 10 to a acre. I telling you this is an appropriate land use from a
annexation standpoint. The highway district required you to line up and the reason
Idaho Athletic Club entrance is where it is at is because someone (inaudible) first and
they had to line up with you. That way they can control the traffic.
Fastabend: If a proposal is not made at this time for a road to be made or access off of
this proposed—as far as I have seen so far that has not been proposed to the
commission (inaudible). Is there anyway that would change and they could be allowed
to add in a access which would connect to—
Brown: That would be modifying the conditional use permit and they'd be back before
us again.
Fastabend: On your comments about higher density homes, it may be true that
townhomes would be closer to the existing homes and some of the residents on Penrith
may feel it would be a better solution to have if we are destine to have high density two
story buildings. They may feel it might be better to have apartments that are farther
back from their properties. I personally would feel that although a townhouse solution
would be closer to the residents at Penrith that it would provide a better mix with our
Subdivision in the long run because the townhouse owners would personally own their
own proprties and they would be more inclined to maintain them and be more of a
permanent residnet to their property then a apartment renter.

Brown: Now their owned units instead of rented, then does the homeowners
association not have as much a problem. Lets leave them right where they are at and
they are condos. You buy the space inside that building. Now you have buyers.
Fastabend: That would greatly appease the homeowners association in that that would
change the nature of the tenants and the way that they would interact with the existing
homes.
McNitt: My name is Steve McNiff. I live at 1472 N. Penrith. As far as the project that is
being proposed right now, the traffic issues are a major concern. I live right on the
corner of the proposed project. Whether or not Planning and Zoning Commission can
do anything about what Ada County allows through there is another story. Stonehenge
Way goes all the way through Pine. It is used regularly. A couple of issues I have is
some of the wording under the Comprehensive Plan and the way that Daren perceived
it. First off he said it would be a good project for people to be able to access the
commercial areas around. The only business that this group would be able to access
safely would be Intermountain. Currently there is no sidewalks on the south side of
Fairview or any of the commercial going to Locust Grove. There is no sidewalk on
Locust Grove that would accommodate without crossing either Fairview or Locust Grove
to walk to these commercial areas. I have lived there for 6 years and I am not walking
on Fairview. One problem I have with the two story complex the way they are, even
with the 6 foot fence, I am still going to have people looking into my backyard. It was
first understood that that would most likely be zoned R-8 with single family dwellings. I
would be much happier with a R-8 single level house behind me 20 feet from my
property line than I would be 60 feet away with a 25 foot building looking down into my
backyard.
Brown: That could still be a 2 story because of the site constraints to get the 8 units per
acre—
McNitt: Only if that person was willing to lose month the minute you built it. So, R-8 is
not just single family dwelling. Danbury is a R-8 zoning is that correct. Okay. In their
multi area space they say 2 acres of the site is to be given to open space. Problem with
that is the end down there they must build a swale by the ordinance to allow for their
100 year plane. One point of interest that effect just my house and that's as you make
the turn into that complex there my house sits right there on the corner where the
proposal is set to go in. When those cars come in and make an immediate left hand
turn into that property, 1 will be visiting with headlights all night long into my bedroom
window. Something has to be addressed there.
Brown: Are you bothered by them coming down Stonehenge now.
McNitt: No I am not.
Borup: Not on the plat we've got. Once they turn left they are going away from your
house.

McNitt: (Off microphone).
Glenco: My name is Matthew Glenco. I live at 1011 N. Maple Creek Avenue. My
comments are brief and not raised by anyone else. One of the greatest concerns is the
nature of the residents in this kind of construction particularly being a month to month.
The problem I see my having entrance as part of Stonehenge which is effectively part of
our Subdivision they by default become part of the Subdivision enjoying some of the
benefits in the Subdivision which we as homeowners association pay our dues to
maintain landscaping between Fairview and along Stonehenge until you get into the
houses. We have a couple parks that are close to that area that will also be utilized by
people living in that structure. I do very much prefer the concept of condos. Part of that
community that is in the Subdivision I do like the idea better if people who are vested in
the area and that would possibly able to be incorporated within the Subdivision as part
of our program participating with the homeowners association and also especially since
I don't see any other way that they can have egress or ingress so they may as well be
part of what we are doing there and participate with landscape.
Powers: My name is Rob Powers. I live at 1348 N. Penrith right where the pie comes
to a point. My concern is that empty space and the adjoining property that is going to
have a access. Looking at that site plan there where it is empty, some day there could
be a road right through there to go to the acreage behind it. I am just wondering. There
is no other access back that way.
Borup: That is not part of this application. There is no road or road easement. Using
your analogy they could build a 30 story office building back there and that is not going
to happen. They would have to come back before us. One of your previous neighbors
said it wasn't even a usable area because it is a swale. This is the drainage swale in
this area.
Powers: What I was told is they were granted access to Dennis Baker who owns that
land behind there.
Borup: We will ask the applicant about that
Powers: One of the other concerns was lighting. I purposely built my house with the
livingroom facing the back so I would not have headlights. If the road does go in there it
defeats my whole purpose and my property value is shot.
Borup: Thank you. Do we have anyone else.
Billings: My name is Janelle Billings. I live at 1265 N. Sanlan which is right in the very
center of the neighborhood. I have a large concern about traffic that comes through
there. We have a large amount of traffic that comes from Pine through to Fairview and
vice versa. We have had several problems with the speed of people who are not
residents of our neighborhood.

Jewett: Jim Jewett. 4002 W. Teter. Just for a point of clarification, I was the previous
owner of this piece of property. I did enter into an agreement with Dennis Baker for an
easement and as of yesterday we signed an agreement vacating and doing away with
it. There is no more easement across this property.
Centers: Lee Centers. 325 Meridian Street. We designed this not to impact the
neighbors. The four plexes the only windows facing that way are the bedrooms. The
rest are all out the back. I don't know how it got started but we always do a six month
lease. Never a month to month. We are going to screen with a lot of arbavitas and a
six foot fence. There will not be any light penetrations. The gentleman who is on the
corner, we'd be glad to screen him with anything that would deflect light there.
Brown: Mr. Centers is the same unit on the north side of your property. Do their
windows and so forth face the back of the building and is that where if everything is to
the north and it looks like the same units up there, are those different or all of their
windows in their living space facing toward Intermountain Arms.
Centers: All the living spaces are the opposite side of the parking. The only thing in
front are two bedroom toward the parking.
Norton: What type of construction materials are these apartments going to have.
Centers: These will be a 25 year composition roof. They have metal fascia and soffet
and they will be the new vinyl siding. Vinyl windows. Iron Railing. Concrete treads.
Low maintenance.
Norton: Do you have a maintenance or management company.
Centers: We do our own.
Barbeiro: Mr. Centers will these be similar to the properties you have behind your
office.
Centers: Just like them.
Fluke: I'd just like to touch on some of the concerns that were brought up. We heard
quite a bit about compatibility. I stress that these are similar land uses, residential land
uses. Compatibility means what can this land owner do with his property and so it in
such a way that we don't have adverse impacts on other people. We think we have
addressed those concerns by this layout. We anticipated that this would be the big
issue and that is why we laid it out the way we did. We are proud of the layout.
Regarding the comment for setting precedent for higher density's I just say that your
Comprehensive Plan envisioned higher densities in this area and this zoning
designation is in keeping with the Comprehensive Plan that this body has adopted. As
far as traffic, 264 trips a day sounds like a lot. In actuality that is quite a low number.
Meridian Planning and — ning Commission
May 24, 2000
Page 49
The highway district anticipates each unit in a development of this nature generates 6-
1/2 trips per day per unit. If we were to come in and do an R-8 on this with attached
single family, townhomes or detached single family, we would be looking at probably
4500 square foot lots with 50 foot frontages. To do that we would be building skinny
two story structures. If we were able to fit 25 of those units on this parcel, we would be
looking at 10 days a day from each one of those units, which is 250 trips. Right there
we are all most at the number the highway district anticipates. As far as reduction in
property values, there has been no evidence submitted to you that would collaborate
that. The weed patch that is sitting back there now is more likely to reduce your values.
This developer lives in the community and maintains and operates them himself. It
doesn't do him any good to have junky looking facilities with nasty people living in them,
so they are well kept facilities. Clarification on the fence. When I said a screening
fence I confused somebody. We have committed to a six foot cedar fence that will
screen views at least for that six feet. We were not intending on putting a berm on that
property line, however, we only have 10 feet there to work with and we would rather put
our resources into putting dense landscaping along that road. Cut through traffic—
you've got connections, your ordinance supports connectivity –yes there will be some
traffic that goes through that neighborhood, but again we are a pretty low number of
trips. Those 264 trips are spread out during a 24 hour period as well. Peak hours will
see more traffic but not the majority of traffic. That is all I had.
Siddoway: A couple final comments. I have had a chance to review in more detail Mr.
Flute's responses to our comments. His response to number 7, 1 have no problem with
the modifications. Number 13, 1 have no problem with the modifications. Number 14,
We have no problem with the service irrigation water being the primary source of water,
but we do require year around water and we would need to make sure that that is clear.
No problem with number 15 and 19. No real problems with number 20, but I would
bring it up that there are no visitor or parking spaces on this site. Strickly the two
parking spaces per unit and the ordinance provides that the commission can
recommend to council to require up to 13. 1 don't know where they will put it. It is very
maxed out but I just point out that they are meeting the minimum standards of two
spaces per unit with no additional visitor parking and that needs to be addressed by the
commission. Number 21 and 25 no problems with those.
Brown: Your telling me that the ordinance only requires 2.
Siddoway: Two per unit. There is four units we have 80 parking spaces.
Brown: The ordinance does not require the three that your asking for.
Siddoway: What the ordinance does is allows in planned developments that are
residential, one additional parking space beyond that which is required by the zoning
title may be required for every three dwelling units to accommodate visitor parking.
It is the commission's call. It say's maybe, not must be. One per 3 dwelling units, that
would be up to 13 additional parking spaces.
Meridian Planning and—,ning Commission
May 24, 2000
Page 50
Borup: Any other questions. Steve, what would be the normal secondary source of
water then. You mean tie into city water to be continuous year around.
Freckleton: Members of the commission, the requirement by the City of Meridian for the
year around source is mainly to provide water pre irrigation and post irrigation season.
We don't want people watering their yards in December. We do request that they look
at other alternatives and if they do have surface water that is there from a drain that
may run preseason and post season that they would use that as a secondary. If there
is an existing well on site that they could utilize. Typically they look at the city for
secondary source. You may have seen in other comments as a single point connection.
Borup: Thank you.
Siddoway: My final comment would be in the Comprehensive Plan specific to this area
page 28 for the mixed use area at Locust Grove road and Fairview Avenue. 5.170 — A
variety of coordinated planned and compatible land uses are desirable for this area,
including low to high density residential, office, light industrial and commercial land
uses. 5.18U — That existing residential properties will be protected from incompatible
land use development in this area and that screening and buffers will be incorporated
into all development requests in this area. As staff we feel that both these are met by
this plan with the conditions that we requested and placed on it.
Hatcher: Mr. Chairman I move that we close the public hearing—both of them.
Brown: I'll second.
Borup: All in favor?
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
Borup: The motions will be on one at a time. Item number 7 is request for annexation
and zoning. Any discussion.
Barbeiro: I would like to address my discussion to both item 7 and 8. 1 know Mr.
Center's properties to be very well maintained. His management is a excellent property
manager. The site really does not have a real good access. It will —the neighbors
arguments that this will become the Danbury Faire Apartment complex is compelling
and I have to follow along with that. The single access into this Subdivision road does
worry me and knowing that it is on that turn and I do know that turn is not a well planned
turn. It will be a blind corner at times. I am a little concerned that they move the
buildings far away from the neighbors but that now the neighbors have the traffic going
back and forth in their backyard as opposed to having a building in the backyard. There
is a poor access to a left hand turn on Fairview and this property is going to have a
negative effect on that. I would prefer that there were visitor parking in there. While the
new proposed Comprehensive Plan is not in effect and can not be implemented on this,
that land is called for a public use not for a mixed residential.
Meridian Planning and "`ming Commission
May 24, 2000
Page 51
Borup: Anyone like to add to that? Anyone want to make a motion.
Norton: I'd like to ask staff, is there anything that can be done regarding that road?
The other question is can the apartment building contribute to the homeowners
association or to maintain that long extension out to Fairview.
Siddoway: It is a land locked parcel. It is the only frontage that it has. No, not unless
the property to the east developed and provided a stub street to them. Currently, the
only frontage this parcel has is at that point. The maintaining would have to be
voluntarily done by the owners of the apartment complex.
Borup: Anyone else have thoughts other than sit here and make it till midnight.
Barbeiro: With all due respect to Mr. Centers and his plan, I would submit to City
Council that we do not approve the zoning request for annexation and zoning of 3.4
acres to R-15 for proposed 40 unit apartment complex.
Brown: I would ask a question to Commissioner Barbeiro what is
END OF SIDE SIX
Brown: high density office and commercial. What would be the finding for that
recommendation.
Barbeiro: I am finding along with a large number of neighbors who are here the poor
access to the entrance. I would like to have seen a combination of single family homes
that went along the existing neighbors at Danbury Faire and then perhaps combine that
with apartments that would go right up against where the Intermountain Arms is at and
giving the neighbors the single family home buffer and putting the apartments up
against there will give yourself a buffer against the commercial zone. That was my
preference.
Borup: And, how does that help their main concern of traffic.
Barbeiro: I don't have a answer for you. I was just giving a proposal of what I thought
would be preferable design in keeping with a poor piece of land and the neighbors
desire to have single family housing abutting their own homes.
Borup: So you saying put some more single family housing in abutting the apartments.
Barbeiro: Yeah, very similar to what we say at our last meeting there Fairview as we
move in to just west of Locust Grove. We have commercial, single family housing and
apartments along that existing mobile home park.
Borup: We do not have a second so do we have any other motions
Meridian Planning and "ening Commission
May 24, 2000
Page 52
Norton: I'll second that on the reasoning that the traffic situation is a very serious
concern and if we have to wait a little longer until another site is developed until these
people have access in and out another way, might make more sense to just hold off on
annexing that property at this time. The traffic situation on Stonehenge would my
reasoning to deny this.
Borup: Motion and second. Discussion. Would anyone like to reiterate ACHD's
concern on the traffic. Steve. No I don't think they had any. That is why I asked.
Siddoway: ACHD hasn't mentioned traffic concerns as one of the residents testified
they declined to do a traffic study. Most of the site specific requirements have to do with
curb gutter and sidewalk. Utilities, street cuts, location of driveway, paving
requirements, access points. They do state the estimate trip generation of 264
additional trips per day with zero existing but don't elaborate any farther then that.
Borup: Does that usually mean they don't have any added concern on the added traffic
to the road system. If there was they mention it. Any other discussion. We have a
motion and second. If not more discussion, all in favor.
TWO AYES, TWO NAYS
Borup: This was a motion for denial. In light of our constrains on the ordinance and
Comprehensive Plan I am going to have to go nay. You open for another motion. What
is something that is going to be logically be able to put on the back side of a commercial
building and near a junk yard. It is hard to make an argument for single family
residential in a location like that.
Brown: Along Fairview the other uses that have been used in similar situations are
storage units, like the ones behind Fred Meyer. The other ones we have recently
approved have been apartments and other commercial uses.
Hatcher: Although I feel this project has some problems 1 think with staffs comments,
most of the issues will be resolved. I find myself torn to make a motion to approve it just
on the status of my architectural background and not having any information in the
conditional use permit as to the appearance and design of the building themselves.
Because of that lack of information, I can't approve or deny this project. Architectural
design information I believe is typical application information for a CUP.
Siddoway: The architectural design information was submitted, it is required with the
application. It should be in the City Clerk's—they probably just submitted them on large
sheets that did not get reduced down to the packet size. I believe we could retrieve
those. I know they exist. They show the elevations and the construction materials that
was required to be included with the application.
Meridian Planning and ``Nning Commission
May 24, 2000
Page 53
Borup: The only additional comment on that I guess that it was testified that it was the
same design as the existing apartments they have on Meridian Road across from the
Bowling Alley.
Hatcher: That does not help me on this project
Borup: Will has looked through the file and there is nothing in there.
Hatcher: Seeing that that information has not been submitted, I personally would
recommend that that this be tabled until that information is properly submitted and had
adequate time to review it.
Borup: That is one option. Are we comfortable with the parking spaces. That was the
one thing from staff comments that was not addressed.
Brown: I think they do need some additional visitor parking. Like staff and the other
Commissioner's I don't know where they are going to put it.
Borup: I see a real problem trying to get 13 additional spaces. A couple maybe. Have
you had a chance to review the plans commissioner Hatcher.
Norton: Staff are these one bedroom apartments or two bedroom.
Siddoway: I believe they are two bedroom apartments.
Hatcher: In light of the additional information I will motion to City Council that we
recommend approval of the project as submitted including all staff comments that would
be approval of the annexation and zoning of 3.4 acres to R-15 for proposed 40 -unit
apartment complex to be called Penn Station Apartments.
Brown: I'll second.
Borup: Any discussion. All in favor.
MOTION CARRIED: 3 AYES 2 NAYS
8. PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR
PROPOSED 40 -UNIT APARTMENT COMPLEX TO BE CALLED PENN STATION
APARTMENTS ON 3.4 ACRES BY PANGAEA LAND PLANNING —SOUTH OF
FAIRVIEW AND EAST OF STONEHENGE WAY:
Hatcher: I motion that we recommend approval to City Council for the conditional use
permit of the proposed 40 unit apartment complex to be called Penn Station Apartment
on 3.4 acres by Pangaea Land Planning as submitted to include staff comments and
modifications.
Meridian Planning and —,ning Commission
May 24, 2000
Page 54
Borup: That includes the 13 parking spaces.
Siddoway: Comments say up to 13. If you just want us to work with them with an open
ended ticket trying to maximize parking we can do that if you can give us a number.
There is also the staff comments related to the maintenance building, the RV and Boat
Storage and I just went through the response and most of those we did not have a
problem with. They are recommended modifications to staff comments.
Hatcher: When you were commenting on his response you weren't stating —you were
stating you were okay with their stated response.
Siddoway: Yes with their modifications to staff comments in those situations. One
exception of the irrigation —14 and 20 were the two.
Hatcher: What I would do is I would modify my motion to include their response
comments, modifying them. To address Item 14 in the underground year around
pressurized irrigation that they work with the city to provide year around secondary
means of irrigation and to address the item number 20 that they work with staff to
provide additional parking spaces and I would have to state that they at least
accommodate an additional ten spaces. I think it is fair to say 10 visitor spaces for 40
units.
Swartley: Steve, do you have the applicants responses to those. l will go over them
with you later. Oh, I have them too. Thank you.
Brown: Would you be willing to modify that to 7. 1 would rather see grass then the
parking I guess.
Hatcher: Yes.
Brown: I'll second.
Borup: All in favor.
MOTION CARRIED: 3 AYES 2 NAYS
Swartley: Mr. Chairman, did you want to open up the public hearing on number 9 and
10. It is up to you. You've done it in the past. I'm just checking with you. I wanted to
stay here a little longer. Go ahead and do that and make a motion to continue them to
the next meeting.
Borup: I'd like to open the public hearing on Item number 9 and Item number 10. I'd
entertain a motion on those two items.
Hatcher: We all ready motioned to move them to the next meeting, did we not. I motion

STORM WATER MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that storm water be pre-treated through a grassy swale
prior to discharge to the subsurface to prevent impact to ground water and
surface water quality. The engineers and architects involved with the design
of this project should obtain current best management practices for storm
water disposal and design a storm water management system that is
preventing groundwater and surface water degradation. Manuals that could
be used for guidance are:
State of Idaho Catalog of Stormwater Best Management Practices For
Idaho Cities and Counties.
Prepared by the Idaho Division of Environmental Quality, July 1997.
Stormwater Best Management Practices Guidebook.
Prepared by City of Boise Public Works Department, January 1997.
