Re: CUP for Ada County Parcels 51204336450 & S1204336500
Attn: Planning Department
This letter is being submitted as part of the application for the conditionat use permit for the property
Parcels indicated above.
This request is by the Meridian Lions Club for the use of the property for the annual Meridian Lions
Rodeo and all such events that will coincide with the facility as a rodeo grounds and equestrian, riding
arena. At this time the only events scheduled are the Meridian Lions Rodeo and a Barrel Race. We
anticipate increasing the number of events when the permit is in place.
The Meridian. Lions Club will be holding their twenty-first (21st) annual rodeo on the weekend of
September 24, 25th, and 26th, 2010. The Rodeo was initially held at the Meridian Speedway and after
four years it was moved to the comer of Eagle Road and Fairview Avenue. In 2004 it was moved to the
property indicated above, which is owned by the City of Meridian. We are in the process of entering
into an agreement with the City and will use the conditional use permit rather than continuing on with
the temporary use permit process. The County has issued temporary permits annually since we have
moved to the property. We have developed a good relationship with the surrounding property owners
and they are supportive of our events. A neighborhood meeting was held on April 17, 2010 with the
certification form attached to the application.
Proposed use and all uses associated with the request Include but are not limited to:
a. Annual Meridian Lions Rodeo as a fund raising event by the Meridian Lions Club.
b. Riding Groups who have inquired about using the arena for practice.
c. High School rodeo clubs have expressed an interest in using the facility.
d. Organizations such as Team Ropers, Barrel Racers, and Reiners.
The Meridian Lions Club owns the equipment that is on the property and includes the riding
arenas, bucking chutes, fencing, bleachers, and announcer stand. We have continued to improve
the site as funds are available.

It is anticipated that the primary use of the facility will be weekend days. There will be
times when we may use the facility during the week. The weekdays will probably be
used by the riding groups for practice sessions. Typically the events will be held from
April to October.
Hours of Use;
At this time there are no utilities on the property so the majority of use would be limited
to daylight hours, We may on occasion need to use portable temporary lighting for safety
reasons if vehicles are leaving the premises after sundown.
The Length of Time.
The length of time for any event discussed so far is not anticipated to be more than three
(3) days at any one time. If a request is for another aspect of time, we will consider it is
as it pertains to the permit or adjust accordingly.

This is the second time we have requested a conditional use for this facility, The original request
was dated April 17, 2007 and was referenced by isle # 200700081 -CU. Due to some issues we
were unable to resolve in a timely fashion we withdrew the application and proceeded with a
temporary use application. We have been in discussions with the City of Meridian and believe
we can proceed with the process at this time. Some of the items you wanted us to address in the
previous application are listed below. We are limited on improvements due to the lack of sewer
and water to the property. As these amenities become available to the area we will update the
facility as best we can to comply with your requirements.
Items to address:
Drainage Plan:
Drainage has not been a problem in previous years. The Concession area has
been graveled and all other areas are kept groomed and open to return any
precipitation directly to the soil. The drive areas and parking areas are kept
groomed and drains very well.
Traffic Control:
We have sighs that we use to direct traffic into and out of the facility from Cherry
Lane. We are currently using a temporary entrance with property owner approval
and adequate signage from McDermott Road to allow for truck and trailer entry to
avoid congestion. The approval letter from property owners Mike and Donna
Anderson is attached to this application. We will put up no parking signs to keep
vehicles off Cherry Lane & McDermott Road. As we develop the facility we
anticipate adding another entrance from Cherry Lane, Traffic control attendants
will also be used as needed to avoid congestion.
Manure Removal -
Because of the number of events at this time, the accumulation of manure has not
been a problem.

Meridian Lions Club PO Sox 266 Meridian, ID $3680
Parking:
A drawing of proposed spectator parking with 400 spaces with handicap access is
attached. Contestant and horse trailer parking and loading is also shown In
previous years we have been packing and watering all drive and parking areas
prior to and during the event as needed to keep dust to a minimum. We have been
very successful in this endeavor and drainage and dust abatement have been
complied with. We have adequate handicap parking. We take great care in
marking the parking areas with stakes and tape. We also have attendants
available to keep vehicles parking in an orderly manner.
Landscaping:
Since utility services are not available and a Master Site plan is not required we
are asking for the landscape plan requirements to be waived at this time. Weed
control measures are taken during the course of the season to keep weeds from
being a problem. The City has been working on weed control and all grass is kept
mowed to keep from being a problem.
Lighting:
Since utility services are not available on the property we do not anticipate having
any events after dark. For safety reasons we may have to use temporary portable
light plants for people leaving the facility after dark. The light plants are similar
to what you would rent from a rental facility that includes a generator and light
plant. They are non -obtrusive to any neighbors to the property.
Noise: ACC 8-4A-15
At this time we do not plan on having events between the hours of ten o'clock
(10:00) PM and seven o'clock (7:00) AM. Our sound system is a 150 watt amp
with 6 speakers and is just for the purpose of the announcer to speak to the
spectators and for background music. The location of the bleachers and
announcer stand is such that sound does not offend any of the neighbors to the
property.
Signage:
Any signage used will be approved by the City and adhere to County A COUNTY

Discussions with Meridian Fire Department:
Previous discussions with the Meridian Fite Departipent have indicated that there
will be a working relationship between the department and the Meridian Lions
Club. Previous letter is attached to this application and new discussions will take
place.
Discussions with Idaho Department of Environmental Quality:
I
Previous discussions with Idaho DEQ indicated the main concern with them is air
pollution due to dust stirred up by ground preparation and the animals in the
arena. The use of water trucks at the events has ]sept dust to a minimum in the
past and will be continued as needed. The trucks are used for all parking areas
and the arena. As parking lots are developed the dust will also be further reduced.
Discussions with Ada County Highway District:
Previous discussions with ACHD have been positive for this project and further
discussions will be held. The main issues to address will be entrances to the
property.
Due to the fact that we are a non-profit group that raises funds to give rack to the community we
do not have large amounts of capital to fund major improvements on the facility and must
depend on donations from outside sources to accomplish what we can. We would appreciate
your help in working with us to accomplish this application process. The Meridian Lions Club is
a local service club that is part of Lions Intternational and we raise funds through community
projects. The annual rodeo has become one of the largest local rodeos in the Northwest and
continues to grow, The money raised is primarily for local needs of the community and its
citizens. Our emphasis is on sight and hearing loss prevention, diabetes awareness, and youth
development. Thank you in advance for your consideration of this application. I can be reached
by phone at 208-866-0311 or by email at d u be ei is.net.

Diene,
I am out of town till the 4th of July but wanted to get you some Info about the concessions and bleachers. The
bleachers will holt about 1500 people. Typically we have about 900-1,000 people using the bleachers. These
are the same bleachers that the County has inspected and approved for use the lest few years. We have
repaired there as needed. The concession area consists of Coca Cole wagons and portable grills, The Central
District Health Dept has inspected and approved for use these same items In past years.
If you need any further info please let me know.

Diana, we met earlier this week with the Meridian Lyon's Club to discuss their plans for use of a parcel for a
yearly rodeo event, Since the parcel will see most of the yearly usage during a 2 -day period, I see no benefit in
requiring the applicants provide a paved parking lot at this time. They have agreed to roll and water the field prior
to the yearly event. This should prove satisfactory. We may wish to condition the approval as being able to
reevaluate the situation should problems be noted in the future or if the public complains.

'Acceptable level of service for a two-lane principal arterial roadway is "E' (14,000 ADT).
6. Site History: ACHD staff previously reviewed this site for the Meridian Lions Rodeo, as a
temporary use (200600214 -TP, 200700167 -TP & 200800151 -TP) in September 2006,
September 2007, and August 2008. There were no requirements at the time of the applications
due to the application being a temporary use.
Development Impacts
7. Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate approximately 47 additional vehicle
trips per day, based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual, 8' edition.
During events, actual trip generation will be significantly higher.
8. Impact Fees: There will be an Impact fee that is assessed and due prior to issuance of any building
permits. The assessed impact fee will be based on the impact fee ordinance that is in effect at that
time.
9. Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) / Five Year Work Plan (FYWP):
Tyre are no roads, intersections, or bridges in the general vicinity of the development that are
programmed for improvement in the current Five Year Work Plan.
• Cherry Lane is listed in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for corridor preservation to
accommodate widening to 5 -lanes in between McDermott Road and Black Cat Road.
B. Findings for Consideration
1. Cherry Lane
Right -of -Way Policy: District policy requires 96 -feet of right-of-way on arterial roadways (Figure
72-F1B). This right-of-way allows for the construction of a 5 -lane roadway with curb, gutter, 5 -foot
concrete detached sidewalks and bike lanes.
Sidewalk Policy: District policy requires 7 -foot wide attached (or 5-1oot detached) concrete
sidewalk on all collector roadways and arterial roadways (7204.7.2). ,
ACHD Master Street Map: ACHD Policy Section 3111.1 requires the Master Street Map (MSM)
guide the right-of-way acquisition, collector street requirements, and specific roadway features
required through development. This segment of Cherry Lane is designated In the MSM as a
Planned Commercial Arterial with 5 -lanes and on -street bike lanes, on -street parking and an 82 -foot
street section within 96 -feet of right-of-way.
Existing Conditions: Cherry Lane is improved to 2 -lanes (25 -feet of pavement), with no curb,
gutter, or sidewalk within 50 -feet of right-of-way.
Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is not proposing any improvements on Cherry Lane abutting
the site.
2 201000531 -CU
Staff Comment/Recommendattons: Typically with this type of development application, the
applicant would be required to dedicate 48 -feet of right-of-way from the centerline of Cherry Lane,
as well as construct a 5 -foot wide detached concrete sidewalk located a minimum of 42 -feet from
the centerline of Cherry Lane abutting the site.
However, due to the lack of improvements adjacent to the site, and the large amount of frontage on
Cherry Lane (995 -feet), staff recommends a modification of policy to allow the applicant to do one
of the hallowing:
1. Dedicate 48 -feet of right-of-way from the centerline of Chevy Lane abutting the she and
construct a 5 -foot wide detached concrete sidewalk located a minimum of 42 feet from the
centerline of the roadway abutting the site, or;
2. Dedicate 48 -feet of right-of-way from the centerline of Cherry Lane abutting the site with
no compensation In lieu of sidewalk construction.
This site has also been designated as a future City of Meridian park. With a future development
application, additional frontage improvements may be required.
2. Driveways
Access Management Policy, District policy 7207.8 states that direct access to arterials and
collectors is normally restricted. The developer shall try to use combined access points. If the
developer can show that the use of a combined access point to a collector or arterial street Is
impractical, the District may consider direct access points. Access points for proposed
developments at Intersections should be located as far from the intersection as practical, and in no
case closer than as illustrated on Figure 72-F4, unless a waiver for the access point has been
approved by the District Commission.
Successive Driveway Policy (45 MPH): District policy 72-F5, requires driveways located on
collector or arterial roadways with a speed limit of 45 to align or offset a minimum of 230 -feet from
any existing or proposed driveway.
Driveway Width Policy: District policy 7207.9.3 restricts commercial and institutional driveways
with daily traffic volumes over 1,000 vehicles to a maximum width of 36 -feet. Most commercial
driveways will be constructed as curb -cut type facilities If located on local streets. Curb return type
driveways with 15 -foot radii will be required for driveways accessing collector and arterial roadways.
Driveway Paving Policy: Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance problems
due to gravel being tracked onto the roadway. In accordance with District policy, 7207.9.1, the
applicant should be required to pave the driveway its full width and at least 30 -feet into the site
beyond the edge of pavement of the roadway and install pavement tapers with 15 -foot radii abutting

Applicant Proposal: The applicant Is proposing to utilize the 20 -foot wide existing driveway onto
Chevy Lane located 1,277 -feel east of the Intersection of McDermott Road and Chevy Lane (615 -
feet from the nearest existing driveway on the south side of the roadway).
Staff Comment/Recommendation: Staff recommends a modification of policy to allow the
construction of one driveway onto Chevy Lane, as it meet's the Intent of ACHD's Access
Management policy, by providing sole access to the site; therefore, the applicant's proposal to
utilize the existing driveway onto Chevy Lane should be approved, as proposed.
The applicant should be required to pave the driveway its full width and at least 30 -feet Into the site
beyond the edge of pavement of the roadway.
This site has also been designated as a future City of Meridian park. With a future development
application, access to Cherry Lane will be restricted. Although District staff is making a
recommendation to allow the continued use of the existing driveway located 1,277 -feet east of the
Intersection of McDermott Road and Cherry Lane with this application, the applicant should plan on
