03-18-85 Annexation CommitteeMarch 18, 1985 ANNEXATION COMMITTEE 4:00 P.M. • Chairman Manning, Councilman Springer, PWD Harmer, Fred Zavodny, City Attorney Neier, Mayor McDowell, Nick Verma, and Paul Palmer were in attendance. ZONE CHANGE REQUEST: Financial Services Corporation, B-1 to B-3 This does not comply with the comprehensive plan (Hi -density urban) but because of the progression of Meridian a change to B-3 makes a stronger case for a commercial development area. DPW Hammer is concerned about traffic and access. If Frontier Pies is a two level access then there would be no problem. If there was a drive -through from Meridian there would be a problem. Committee recommended referring to the zoning commission. ZONE CHANGE REQUEST: Mahugh., R-4 to B-2 Committee decided to have the council return this issue to the annexation committee for written findings of fact based on the public hearing and possibld petition from adjacent landowners.
