DATE: February 27, 1996
APPLICANT: Hawkins Smith, Commercial Developers
PROJECT: Office Development on Property Located at the SE Corner of
Yellowstone and Burnside
Hawkins Smith submits for Design Review, its proposed site plan for the building
and parking lot located as set forth above. Of concern are the size of the curbs at
Yellowstone and Burnside, at the NE corner of the property where Burnside curves from
eastbound to southbound and the size of the curbs of the SE corner of the property.
The parties represent the site will be used for a retail office supply store. Those present
were Mayor Cotant, Ron Conlin, Cary Campbell, Steve Smart, Larry Kohntopp, Kent
Kearns, from Land Use Commission, Charlie Dickman, fire chief, Chief Jerry Rowland,
police chief, Thomas J. Holmes, city attorney.
Attorney Holmes disclosed that he represented James Thilmont, one of the
partners in Property Enterprise, which is the partnership selling the property to Hawkins
Smith. After discussion, the Design Review Committee reached the following decision:
A. The NW corner, Yellowstone and Burnside, shall have a radius of 40 feet.
B. The NE corner, Burnside and Burnside , shall have a radius of 30 feet.
C. At the N �V corner, the curb on the southside of the entry into the site shall
be placed so that the radius starts further into the parking lot. This may eliminate one
parking space which shall not be a problem with the overall parking.
D. The compact parking spaces on the south side of the property shall be
converted to full size vehicles. While this may result in the parking lot being short a few
spaces of that strictly required of the size of the building, it would be Design Review's
recommendation to the City Council that they approve a reduced parking requirement.
E. The landscaping along Yellowstone requires a 10 foot strip. Because of
the proximity of the road right-of-way to the sloping hill from Yellowstone, the developer
shall landscape the slope as part of its landscaping requirement and tie it to the City
water system. The City will maintain the landscaping on the slope. Developer and
subsequent owner shall allow the City access across its property for purposes of
maintaining the landscaping on that slope. All other landscaping within the project shall
be maintained by the developer and subsequent owner.
Pursuant to Idaho Code S 67-8001 et set., the Design Review Committee makes
the following findings with respect to the decision in this action:
