PAGE. 01 Meridian City Council , February 4, 1997 Page 43 MOTION CARRIED: All Yea Corrie: Conclusion? Morrow: Mr. Mayor, I would move that the City Council of the City of Meridian approve the conditional use permit requested by the applicants for the property described in the application with the conditions set forth in the findings of fact and conclusions of law as amended or similar conditions as found justified and appropriate by the City Council, that the property be required to meet the water and sewer requirement, the fire and life safety codes, uniform fire codes, parking, paving and landscaping requirements and all of the ordinances of the City of Meridian. The conditional use should be subject to review upon notice to the applicants by the City. Rountree: Second Corrie: Motion made and seconded on the decision and recommendation with the inclusion of as amended after conclusions of law, all those in favor? Opposed? MOTION CARRIED: All Yea Morrow: Mr. Mayor, as a point of discussion here should this pedestrian ramp prove to be unfeasible (inaudible) should the drainage problem prove to make that thing unfeasible I think there ought to be some flexibility that they not have to do that. Rountree: I agree, if it (inaudible) possibly that is something that staff and the others can work out with ACHD. Corrie: Staff do you know what you are do with the recommendation of Council on the water issue and you accept that responsibility without mental reservation or hesitation whatsoever. ITEM #11: VALLEY SHEPHERD CHURCH: REQUEST FOR HOOK UP TO WATER AND SEWER: Corrie: Is there a representative from Valley church here tonight? Roylance: Mr. Mayor and City Council my name is Dave Roylance, I am a civil engineer and land planner representing the Nazarene Church. In the audience is a few of the church members here, you probably know them, Dale Ownby, Randy Peterman (inaudible) they are here on behalf of the Nazarene Church.. What we are requesting is water and sewer service to our project that is 34 acres located (inaudible) Corrie: David, I hate to interrupt but can you get closer to the mic. Meridian City Council 4 February 4, 1997 Page 44 Roylance: I wrote you a letter on January 281h of this year and maybe what I will do is just paraphrase or read parts of that to explain our request. The Nazarene Church is attempting to purchase approximately 34 acres immediately south of Elk Run subdivision No. 2 on the west side of Meridian Road. The property purchased is subject to obtaining adequate sewer and water facilities along with other utilities and the correct zoning and approvals to allow construction at the facility. It has been the intent of the Nazarene church to submit an annexation and rezone request to the City of Meridian and we have diligently pursued that objective for the past few months. In order to be annexed into the City we must be contiguous to the current City limits. There is one property owner between us and the existing City boundary and currently that property owner after thought and study doesn't wish to be annexed into the City. We have aggressively pursued this annexation route and all other annexation routes without success. In order to develop this property we are left with one option. We would like to submit a land use application to Ada County and seek approval with City water and sewer. It is doubtful that Ada County will support the project without central sewer and water services. We anticipate that in the near future there will be an annexation path to Meridian city limits and when that occurs we agree to annex without delay. We are currently in the impact area of Meridian City and agree to comply with all Meridian city requirements and recommendations including the Meridian city design review of the project and facilities and executing a development agreement if necessary. We propose extending the sewer and water mains south along Meridian Road to our project at our expense and in conformance with the requirements of the Meridian City Engineer. So in a nut shell I guess in summary we *are about 165 feet away from being contiguous and despite our best efforts we can't get contiguous, we can't get a path. We don't think that we can develop it, with septic tank and wells and we really want to be in the City. We want to. be served by the City and that is our request. We are in the urban services planning area. We think in the near future that being that close that there will be a path. And as stated the second there is in a heart beat we will apply for annexation. So that is our request. Corrie: I have no questions of David I have one of Gary. Rountree: Do you have either an on site well or plans for a well for irrigation purposes? Roylance: There is an on site well and I think we will convert it to irrigation uses. believe there is on site surface water and if there is to the extent possible we want to use that to irrigate the bigger areas, soccer field and park. Corrie: Any further questions of David? Thank you, questions of the Council to staff? Morrow: Technical question Gary, why is the sewer line short of what it is on the plans, do we know that? Meridian City Council February 4, 1997 Page 45 Smith: Yes sir, US West fiber optics strayed outside of .their easement along the west right of way line of Highway 69. When the contractor exited Elk Run No. 2 with the sewer and installed his manhole and turned to go south he clipped the fire optic conduits. They are outside of their easement, we have contacted the State Highway Department, the State Highway Department has contacted them and US West told them that they are going to have to move their fiber optics and US West said no we are not. So there is a bit of a stalemate there. Bentley: Finish clipping it. Smith: In order to continue south the only option that we have with the sewer is to move out toward the road and get into the shoulder of the highway. The State Highway Department doesn't want to talk to us about that. So it is a little bit of a difficult situation and I am not sure how it is ever going to get resolved. Rountree: Maybe this is an opportunity to get it resolved. Morrow: Well very candidly I guess the issue boils down to that is what ought to be done. (Inaudible) outside of its deal and it gets cut, the person doing the cutting has no liability. Smith: Can we quote you on that Councilman? Crookston: Mr. Mayor, the City does have condemnation authority and if we have to do that we can do it. If it is outside of the easement (inaudible) if it is not a proper use of the easement we don't have to pay anything, I don't believe we have to pay anything. Smith: Should we proceed on that basis then, can our City Attorney advise me of how we should proceed to get that sewer line finished to the underside of the Kennedy lateral where it is suppose to be. Bentley: Yes Corrie: Do you want a vote on it, it is a consensus of the Council on record that is what we will do. Rountree: I have a question for Gary, do we have the water? Smith: Yes, the water is on the east side of the highway and it doesn't seem to be, nothing is interfering with its extension. Rountree: Do we have sufficient water supply for this development to take care of both potable and fire supply? Meridian City Council February 4, 1997 Page 46 Smith: We should have, well no. 17 is going to be coming on line within a couple of months. This is in that high pressure zone so we should be all right. They will have to bore under Highway 69 to get water service to this property. Corrie: Any further questions? Morrow: I have one question, w annexed, obviously the sewer line a provision for late comers so the that piece of property? Smith: Yes th respect to the property that doesn't wish to be is going to come across the front of that is there not : these folk could recapture some of their cost from Corrie: I guess we are ready for the question on the request for hook up to water and sewer then. David how soon are you going to plan on start building in there? Roylance: Start building, that could be awhile we still have to go through the Ada County processes, then we have to do all of the planning and that. Does anybody know when we might start building, it could be a ways out (inaudible). Corrie: Two to five years, thank you. You may be annexed by the time (inaudible) Morrow: I would move that we grant the request for the hook up to the City water and City sewer services to the Valley Shepherd Church subject to ordinance conditions. Rountree: Second Corrie: Motion made by Mr. Morrow, second by Mr. Rountree that we grant the request for sewer and water hook up be granted according to ordinance conditions, any further questions? Hearing none all those in favor? Opposed? MOTION CARRIED: All Yea ITEM #12: WATER/SEWER/TRASH DELINQUENCIES: Corrie: This is to inform you in writing if you choose to you have the right to a predetermination hearing at 7:30 P.M. Tuesday, February 4, 1997 before the Mayor and City Council to, appear in person and be judged on the facts and defend the claim made by the City that your water, sewer or trash bill is delinquent. You may retain counsel, this service will be discontinued on February 12, 1997 unless payment is received in full. Is there anyone present that wishes to contest their water, sewer or trash delinquency? Seeing none, they are hereby informed that they may appeal or have the decision of the City reviewed by the Fourth Judicial District Court pursuant to Idaho Code. Even though they do appeal their water will be shut off, the amount of the
