Corrie: One of the things I just want to bring your attention that I think the signage is being taken care of by ACHD. I got word from Mr. Little it's going to be about a $1400 fee for the different signs, and I just wanted to inform you about the letter that I got. I gave you each of copy of that one. Bentley: I thought and the point of his letter and I spoke with him yesterday is he wants to continue Meridian Road in an orderly fashion on across. He stated that he was the signage proposal that he had was for Overland Road and I thought we pretty much decided that it was going to break off at Central right where it dumps in, and evidently he didn't get that feeling. He was thinking we were going to Overland with Main Street and that wasn't the intent. Bird: That's the one that I got down when we had that afternoon meeting. I kind of took it we was going to Overland. Charlie is the one that I think was discussing that. Rountree: Well- Bird: Wasn't main going all the way to Overland? Rountree: Yeah, I think it was going to go all the way to Overland because that's really where E. 1st goes. Bird: Yeah. Rountree: If you don't take it to there, then what does that piece become? Meridian or does it stay E. 1st or - Bentley: My intent was that Main Street would pick up at Central and go through town where Meridian even though it's not a straight line would carry on across because Meridian Road goes to Kuna. That's what their ACHD's idea is. Because otherwise you're going to have Meridian Road coming up to Overland then it's going to change to Main Street. Then you're going to pick up Meridian Road again off of Central. Rountree: No, that's state highway 69 at Overland south that's the state highwey. You can call it what you want. Bentley: That's the state highway, but that's not what it says on the signs. It says Meridian Road all the way out there. I'm talking on the part, he's talking state highway. It says Meridian Road. MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL MEETING MAY 18, 1999 PAGE 56 Rountree: On the cross street signing? Bird: But then there's signs sitting down Glenn that says state highway 69. Bentley: Well yeah, but there's a highway sign that says 20 and 30 both. Anderson: (Inaudible) Bentley: That's right, but they were looking to keep Meridian Road flowing instead of a break in the middle of it. Because you get travelers coming into town, they're looking for Meridian Road and they are going to say where does it start and where does it stop? Rountree: We've got Fairview Avenue and Cherry Lane. Same thing going that direction. Main is going to stop at Overland and Meridian will start. Bentley: The south side is going to be in two different places with a break in between. So they're looking for some direction on where we want to start it at. Corrie: South Main Street starts at Franklin and goes south. Bentley: South Meridian will be in two places with a break in between. Rountree: Yeah, you're worried about delivering mail. Bentley: You had two of them in here tonight so you better be careful. Corrie: Well what do you want them to do on the signage so we can tell them. Do you want to go to Overland Road? Stop Meridian Road right there at Main Street. Rountree: Ron has got the coin. It could be Main Street from the on/off ramps. But then you still have the break in Meridian Road. Bird: Overland Road at Overland Road you start your highway 69, Idaho State Highway 69. Rountree: What are those addresses for those folks have? Bentley: Well south breaks the railroad tracks. Bird: Yeah, I know that, but what is from Overland, south Meridian Road? Like JB's would be S. Main now? Bentley: Yeah, if you do it that way, MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL MEETING MAY 18, 1999 PAGE 57 Corrie: (Inaudible) Bentley: I mean they're all going to have to change their addresses you know no matter where you stop, whoever is on that. Anderson: Ifyou broke itat Corporate, probably at McDonald's probably (inaudible) Bentley: I don't know what their address is. Bird: I think they both are on Meridian, them and Chevron both because they face out to the west. Bentley: Most of those businesses wouldn't want Corporate addresses. They would request coming out on the main road. Bird: I know Chevron has - Rountree: These are the things that really cause big problems for the postal service. Bentley: It don't matter because they all have to put in change of addresses anyway, but I'm thinking about people coming into town to give them a little better flow. Corrie: People are going to come to town, make the thing straight Main Street all the way to Overland and turn right or left and you're still on Main Street. I mean Meridian Road is going to stop somewhere. Bird: I thought we were going to Overland. Corrie: I did too. Rountree: Yeah, I thought that was continuity in Main Street, which was our intent. Bentley: If that's what you want. That's the direction they're looking for. They just need to know where it's going to start and stop. Corrie: Okay. Bird: You going to put that in a motion, Charlie? Rountree: Mr. Mayor I move that we instruct ACHD to sign Meridian's new Main Street from Cherry Lane south to Overland Road. Bird: Second. MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL MEETING MAY 18, 1999 PAGE 58 Corrie: Motion made by Mr. Rountree second by Mr. Bird to start Main Street from Cherry Lane on the north to Overland Road on the south. Any further discussion? All those in favor of the motion say aye. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. DISCUSSION OF CHERRY LANE LOCAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT. Corrie: I had a discussion with several home owners out there. I had a discussion with Mr. Gigray and he suggested that maybe he'd look into the possibilities of LID's and what are some of the possibilities we have out there, one of the home owners had got an agreement with Nampa Meridian that he could put his fence all the way out to three foot of the sidewalk and got an agreement there. Some of the others didn't want that, so that's why they didn't get the agreement because Nampa Meridian said they to sign the agreement for everybody to - for the easement so I just wanted to bring it up that I'm getting a lot of pressure to clean that up out there. I think Mr. Gigray had a pretty good idea that he could look into what the things the city could do, where they could go, maybe talk with Nampa Meridian and see where they will let us put whatever type of program you want out there. So that's what I'm bringing up for discussion to see what you would like to have done, but we need to do something. Bird: Mr. Mayor, didn't we already have an LID out there or did we - Corrie: It fell through. Bird: Did we just - that's what happened it fell through so it's not effective or anything any more? Corde: No. Because of the agreement they wouldn't all 100% agree on the Nampa Meridian Irrigation easements. Bird: And I understand their homeowners association in the first part is not a mandatory Corrie: No. Rountree: (Inaudible) Corde: People out there be willing to do an LID or whatever they can chip in to get it done and I've had the president of the homeowners association of number 3, 4, and 5 said that they agreed that they would like to see that done, and they would do whatever
