Item 7: Action Items
A. Public Hearing Continued from September 2, 2014: RZ 14-005
Southridge Commercial by DBTV Southridge Farm, LLC
Located Southwest Corner of S. Linder Road and W. Overland
Road Request: Rezone of 7.41 +/- Acres from the TN -C to the
C -C Zoning District
De Weerd: So, we will move right into 7-A, which is a public hearing continued from
September 2nd on RZ 14-004. 1 will ask for staff comments at this time.
Watters: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. The first application
before you tonight is a request for a rezone. This site consists of 7.41 acres of land. It's
currently TN -C and it's located at the southwest corner of South Linder Road and West
Overland Road. This site was annexed in 2006 with the larger Southridge development
and is subject to development agreement that requires development to comply with the
concept plan as shown and includes provisions intended to insure quality development.
The property is platted as Lots 1 through 5, Block 1, Southridge Subdivision No. 1. The
applicant is requesting a rezone of the 7.41 acres from TN -C to the C -C zoning district,
consistent with the mixed use commercial future land map designation. The reason for
the rezone request is because the TN -C district requires all new construction to have a
minimum of two stories. The C -C zone allows for a mix of retail, office, and service
uses, with access to arterials or nonresidential collector streets, as is this property. A
minimum number of stories is not required. The application feels the C -C district will be
more accommodating to businesses who are interested in building on this site. The
design guidelines and the Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan are still applicable to
development of this site. The Commission recommended approval of the rezone
request with no changes to the existing development agreement. Timothy Eck testified
in favor of the application at the public hearing. No one testified in opposition or
commented. Written testimony was received from Jason Densmer, the applicant's
representative, in agreement with the staff report. There are no outstanding issues for
City Council and there has been no written testimony since the Commission hearing.
Staff will stand for any questions Council may have.
De Weerd: Thank you. Council, any questions?
Zaremba: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Zaremba.
Meridian City Council
September 16, 2014
Page 6 of 18
Zaremba: Somewhere in your comment about the change from TN -C to C -C there was
a comment about access to the arterials and collectors. Is the access being changed?
Watters: Madam Mayor, Councilman Zaremba, Councilmen, no, the access is not
being changed. Access is from the collector street as shown. My comment was
pertaining to the C -C zoning district. C -C zoning is desired for properties that have
access to arterials or collector streets, as is this property. That was my point.
Zaremba: Great. Thank you.
De Weerd: Any other questions of staff?
Zaremba: I was just -- follow up.
De Weerd: I'm sorry.
Zaremba: I was just making sure we weren't adding accesses onto the arterial, so -- I'm
satisfied. Thank you.
De Weerd: Thank you. Any other questions?
Bird: I have none.
De Weerd: Okay. Does the applicant have any comment? Good evening.
Densmer: Good evening.
De Weerd: If you will, please, state your name and address for the record.
Densmer: Yes. My name is Jason Densmer with The Land Group. Our address is 462
East Shore Drive in Eagle.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Densmer: We don't have anything to add. I think staffs done a fantastic job of
summarizing our application and it's really motivated by a desire to meet the needs of
businesses who are interested in building buildings on those five lots for whom the two
story requirement of the TN -C zone has really been an impediment. They would really
like the opportunity to build single story buildings, which I think is commensurate with
the area. I don't have any questions, unless you have any for me.
De Weerd: Thank you. Council, any questions?
Bird: I have none.

we choose Meridian. Love it here, so -- I became aware of this opportunity a few weeks

MOTION CARRIED: FIVE AYES. ONE ABSENT.
E. Legal Department: Resolution No. : A
Resolution Adopting Water and Sewer Billing Rates and Fees
De Weerd: Item 8-E is under our legal department. Resolution 14-1018 and these
adopt the water and sewer billing rates and fees. Council, the fees as you requested
were put into this resolution. Mr. Nary, did you have anything to add?
Nary: Madam Mayor, just, again, for the record -- I know Council Member Borton wasn't
here last week as well. The Council did close the hearing at the end of the public input
last week. They did make some specific parts of their motion and I wanted to make
sure that we captured that. I did call Council President Rountree on Friday and I read
him the language and he did say this was what he recalled the discussion was and I
wanted to make sure -- which is why we left it on as a department report -- that part of
the motion was that the water -sewer billing rates and fees will be reviewed twice a year
for the first two years of this program and, then, annually each year thereafter and that
there was a sunset of the EPA compliance fee of ten years. So, the intent of the
Council was to sunset that at that particular time. So, if the language in the resolution
meets what your recollection was and what you wanted, then, you can go ahead and
move that forward. All the rest of the attachment is what you had in front of you last
week, so none of that has changed, it was just the specific wording in the resolution.
De Weerd: Council, any questions or comments?
Borton: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Borton.
Rountree: Just a comment that -- not from last week, but from before -- and I would
have mentioned it last week -- that I thought it was great to see a member of the public,
Mr. Couch, showed up asking great questions, some hard questions, and got some
answers as best he could. Went to the back of the room and, then, Tom Barry went --
watched him in the back of the room -- go over, visit with him, answer questions, share
information, and be able to provide follow up. So, I just -- thanks to Tom Barry for doing
that and I think that's the right -- it's just good to see that type of interaction when the
public have questions and thanks to Mr. Couch, who is not here today, but he asked
some good questions and it was -- for me it was important to hear those and it was nice
to see Mr. Barry reach out to him the way he did right away.
De Weerd: Thank you for that comment. I wholeheartedly agree with you on that.
Anything further from Council? Madam Clerk, will you -- oh.
Zaremba: Madam Mayor?

Zaremba: I move that we approve proposed -- Resolution No. 14-1018 for resolution
adopting water and sewer billing rates and fees.
Cavener: Second.
De Weerd: I have a motion and a second. Any discussion from Council? Madam
Clerk, will you call roll.

Cavener, yea.
De Weerd: All -- motion passes. Sorry.
Zaremba: Majority.

F. Public Works Department Report: Meridian Split Corridor
Phase 2 Public Art Project Close -Out
De Weerd: Okay. Item 8-F is under our Public Works Department. Or, no, it's not
under our Public Works Department. It is under our Public Works Department. Max.
Like why is it under our Public Works Department.
Bird: That's what I couldn't figure out. But now I know.
Jensen: Because that's where things get done.
De Weerd: Oh, wow. Did Tom pay you to say that?
Jensen: Not yet. Good evening. My name is Max Jensen with the Public Works
Department. I'm here to provide a brief update on the Meridian Split Corridor Phase
Two Public Art project that just got completed actually today. This is a big timeline of
the major events that happened throughout this project. The call to artists was issued
on December 12th of 2012. Public input on the three finalists proposals were from May
20 to June 21st of 2013. City Council's selection of C.J. Rench's proposal was done on
October 1st of 2013 and the artwork installation was completed today. A couple
pictures in here for your reference. These are three pictures of the fabrication. The first
two are in the artist's shop. C.J. Rench's shop in Hood River. The third one is the
completed product that was in the parking lot before they loaded it up on the -- on a

flatbed to bring it here on Sunday. Installation on the date began. The far left picture
shows the -- the footings being poured with concrete in the middle one and the far one
is actually the crane and actually lifting it up and setting it. The far right one actually has
a picture of C.J. Rench himself. He was a very -- very likeable artist out there and he
was not only in art, in the fabrication of it in the shop, but he was also on site actually
using shovels and, you know, being part of the team to get it installed and he was very
helpful and very likeable guy. Three pictures of the project completion. This, again, is
in the parcel -- it's parcel 153, but it's right in between Meridian and Ada Street. I don't
want to be moving too fast if you guys want to look at it a little longer.
De Weerd: Max, I just had a question is -- there was a movable part that was supposed
to be kind of a wind or -- I can't remember what it was. Isn't -- is that on there?
Jensen: The intentions was to make it moveable, but when they further looked at it it
was not possible to make it moveable.
De Weerd: Oh. Okay. And so what piece was that? Or did they just take it off?
Jensen: I believe it was the cloud on the far left.
De Weerd: Okay.
Zaremba: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Zaremba.
Zaremba: I'm -- I don't know if this is exactly germane to this subject, but at one time
there was discussion about putting some bench seating around in this -- what appears
to be sort of a park, if people want to sit and contemplate this sculpture. Where did that
conversation go? Are we doing that?
Jensen: I have not been made aware of those discussions, so I can't answer that
question. I could follow up and get back to you on that.
De Weerd: Why don't we just see if Mr. Siddoway -- yeah. It hasn't been a
conversation I don't think.
Zaremba: I guess it went nowhere.
De Weerd: I guess that answers your question.
Zaremba: Yes.
De Weerd: Thank you. Yeah. I believe what was -- the conversation was is that we
didn't necessarily want people out in that area --

Zaremba: Attracting people to a spot where the traffic is difficult to cross.
De Weerd: Right.
Zaremba: I agree.
Jensen: A couple of interesting facts for the project. Travel distance was 400 miles
from Hood River. The weight is over 1,800 pounds. The structure is made out of a
hundred percent stainless steel. Over 350 man hours were involved to build the
structure. Just over 39,000 pounds of concrete involved with the footings. The
structure itself is 12 feet tall and 20 feet wide. The cost is 95,000 dollars. And there
were no change orders.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Thirty-nine thousand pounds of concrete for footings? How deep did you go?
De Weerd: To China.
Jensen: When we started digging out there the -- the material was pretty soft, so we
had to --
Bird: It was?
Jensen: Right. Clay material. So, we had to over excavate.
Bird: I thought you were digging to China when I was out there, so I just wondered.
Jensen: We are pretty solid.
Bird: You got a lot of footing.
Jensen: Have a good wind load, too.
Bird: Yeah. We got a lot of footings for that.
Jensen: It's not going anywhere. So, with that I would stand for any questions or
comments.
De Weerd: Thank you, Max. Any questions from Council?
Bird: No, I don't have anything.
De Weerd: Have you all seen it?

Bird: I haven't seen it finished. It's pretty cool.
Zaremba: I saw the digging. I haven't seen the finished product.
De Weerd: You will have to go by on your way home. It does look nice.
Jensen: It's a nice art structure.
De Weerd: Thank you, Max.
Zaremba: Cool.

Item 9: Future Meeting Topics
De Weerd: Council, anything under Item 9 for Future Meeting Topics?
Zaremba: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Zaremba.
Zaremba: This not a topic, but an observation, and that would be something we need to
deal with in Agenda Manager. Looking ahead to November 4th, that is election day and
normally that meeting would be moved to November 5th.
Bird: Yeah.
Zaremba: Looking ahead also to the week after that, November 11th is a national
holiday, so our 3:00 o'clock workshop should be moved to November 12th.
Bird: Yes.
Zaremba: And I'm just commenting that, so that everybody knows and that Agenda
Manager makes those adjustments -- adjustments as well.
