Petitioner: Steve Pittman(PL Properties LLC)
• The petition appeared on August 21'for the initial Commission meeting. Then the petition was sent to
the Commercial Committee of September 4th and continued to the October 2nd meeting where public
comment was taken.
• The subject property is located on the southwest corner of 106th St. and Illinois St.
• Since the petition was last seen by the Commission there have been a number of changes.
o The median on 106"'St. from the roundabout has been extended west past the entrance of the
property.
o An 8-ft.wall will be built along the south and west property line as a buffer.
o An additional 100-ft. landscaping area will be added to the western edge of the property to screen
an existing house adjacent to the subject property.Certain vegetation will be planted there.
• Steve went through the changes to the commitments.
• Item 1: Permitted uses will be limited significantly.
• Item 2:Neighbor's largest concerns were use of the property during late hours. The hours of operation
for the property has been limited from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm Monday—Friday and 8:00 am to 1:00 pm on
Saturday.If there is, for example,an executive MBA program occurring at the property the time could
extend to 10:00 pm on the weekdays and 5:00 pm on Saturday.
• Strong architectural commitments have been made. Staff has liked what was originally submitted. The
materials used during construction are also present in the commitments.
• We did commit to one building on the property.Neighbor's asked for only one building,which changed
our plans to have two buildings on the property. The primary building will be 5-ft.from the front buffer
yard off of Illinois St.
• We will work with the Urban Forester to preserve trees in the 30-ft. buffer especially when the 8-ft.wall
is being built.
• We have committed to stringent lighting standards. Lights within 90-ft. of the property line can't be taller
than 15-ft.Additionally,the foot-candle cannot exceed 0.1 of the property line. With the wall there will
be little to no spillage.
• Bicycle parking will meet the requirements of the UDO.
• Noise standards will exist and limited to when it can occur. Anything that exceeds 90,000 decibels at the
property line can only occur between 7:00 am to 7:00 pm Monday—Friday.
• We have agreed to obtain an Illinois St. address.
• We came from Commercial Committee with a 3-1 favorable recommendation.
Department Report: Rachel Keesling
• The petitioner has worked with neighbors, Staff,and the Commission and has produced a list of 18
commitments as a result.
• The area the subject property is located in has gone through significant changes in the past few years.
• Due to the commitments,especially the 8-ft.wall and 30-ft. landscape buffer,a use other than residential
is appropriate at this location. While ADLS is not a part of the rezone,the petitioner has committed to
ADLS topics to show their willingness to provide a high quality development on this site.
• With the limiting of uses for the property, Staff is more comfortable with the proposed rezone.
• Staff recommends the petition is sent to City Council with favorable recommendation.

Committee Comments:
Alan Potasnik
• Everything has been included in the following presentations and Department Report.
• I gave the public an opportunity to add any new material at the October 2nd Commercial Committee.No
new material was added at that time.
Susan Westermeier
• The address will be the same address as the St.Vincent's Heart Center(St. Vincent's),but with a
different street?
• Steve Pittman-The property records list the address as 201 W. 106`h St. The commitment is to seek an
Illinois St address. I have always referred to this property as 10580 N. Illinois St.because it is across
from St.Vincent's. The main curb cut will be on Illinois St.
• I am worried that people will be confused with both properties having the same numbered address
because there is not access to St.Vincent's from Meridian.
• Steve Pittman-We will request that the address number is not the same as St. Vincent's.
John Adams
• I was the member of the Commercial Committee that voted against the petition.
• It is the fundamental goal of the Commission to preserve the privacy and property values of adjacent
neighbors,especially residential properties. When residential zoning districts are rezoned to commercial
in residential areas not enough sufficient attention is given to the purpose of zoning,which is why I do
not feel there is a compelling reason to rezone this property from residential to commercial.
• I want to compliment Mr. Pittman and his associates with regards to how acceptable this proposal is.
• Steve Pittman-Thank you for the compliment and I respect your position and principals.
