The last item was Case #96-22-SUP, a Special Use Permit for a new office building, a wash rack and a sign for the Caldwell Transportation Co. Located at 3503 S. Tenth Avenue. Chairman Roos reco ' gnized Commissioner Buckendorf and explained how she was unavoidably detained. Ed Christopher presented the staff report. Legal requirements have been met. The applicant wishes to gain approval for a future building which has not yet been designed nor specifically located on the property. While the commission may approve it in concept, Staff would recommend that it be submitted by Special Use Permit, at the time its construction is needed. The sign meets the � requirements of the Zoning Ordinance Sign Schedule as to size and location, however; the Special Use Permit would be needed to permit the sign to be illuminated and situated closer to the property line. Corru�issioner Buckendorf questioned what would be the height of the sign. The sign meets the standard of the code, the only difference would be illumination and set back requirements. She also �resrE.c p�z i iiz�i96 PageS � inquired whether there was any other information on the proposed building(plan or concept). Commissioner Nachtigall asked if the sign was going to be illuminated 24 hours a day. Ed Christopher stated that it would be, since there are some school functions in the evening hours; and any other questions could be addressed to the developer. The applicant was represented by Rick Vertrees, 580 Sunset, Nampa, Idaho, 83651. If the sign met the ten foot set back requirement it would be far enough away from the road that the size of the sign would need to be increased. All the Caldwell Transportation Co. wants to do is keep the sign as low and small as possible. The sign is just there simply to identify the business, not to attract business. Mr. Vertrees then addressed the two opposing letters that were received. There being no further speakers, Chairman Roos declared the public hearing closed. Commissioner Buckendorf expressed her concerns on the illumination of the sign in a residential area. Since the sign is perpendicular to the road and its size and height aze relatively small it should mitigate any adverse affects on the neighbors. She then suggests the Commission should consider the planned expansion property, with Siaff's conclusion that we should not look at rt vv�thout any sort of concept plan or knowing more. So the future expansion shouldn't be included as part of the whole package. Chairman Roos re-opened the public hearing to allow the applicant to respond to questions concerning the location of the future office building. Mr. Vertrees stated that they were trying to get in concept approval for the location of the office and hopefully not have to go in front of the Commission with another Special Use Permit. Chairman Roos then closed the public hearings and discussion continued within the Commission. With regard to Findings of Fact, Commissioner Nachtigall stated the proposal is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Component. The legal requirements have been met and the applicant has applied for a Special Use Permit as outlined in the Municipal Code. The sign has met the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance in relationship to its size based on this request A motion was made by Commissioner Roos that the Findings of Facts be approved as stated. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Nachtigall. All in favor "Aye." Opposed: None Motion passed. � Chairman Roos concluded that the legal requirement for this Public Hearing were conducted in accordance with the Idaho State Law. The proposal is in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan. bfINUTES P&Z 1121/96 Page6 1 The proposed use does not pose a safety, health, or nuisance to the surrounding residential neighborhood. A modon was made by Commissioner Buckendorf to accept the Conclusions of Law as read. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Nachtigall. All in favor "Aye." Opposed: None Motion passed. It was the general consensus of the Commission the illuminated sign be accepted, since the Caldwell Transportation Company has accommodated the neighborhood by putting in such a small sign. A motion was made by Commissioner Buckendorf that Case #96-22-SUP, a Special Use Permit for a new office building, an wash rack and a sign for the Caldwell Transportation Co. located at 3503 S. Tenth Avenue, with the recommended conditions as outlined by Staff on the location and request to build a future building be submitted at a later date by S.U.P.
