Discuss Request from Ashford Greens to Address Maintenance Agreement of Drainaae Ponds: Nary: 1 think we have a letter from Mr. Nichols on our packet here and I don't know if Mr. Nichols wants to explain a little bit of that on the record first. Nichols: Thank you Mr. President, Mayor and members of the Council. At the meeting two weeks ago, Council asked that 1 look at the agreements regarding the storm water drainage off the streets in Ashford Greens. Some of which are located on the golf course property and see if we could resolve this issue of who is responsible for the light maintenance of those drainage ponds. Brad Watson furnished to me copies of the easement agreements as well as some photographs as well as some other information that, I believe, the homeowner's association provided to Public Works with regard to drainage areas in question. Meridian City Pre -Council Meeting September 28, 2004 Page 2 of 14 It was my conclusion that under the terms of the easement agreements the homeowner's association has responsibility for light maintenance which is defined in those easements — let's see if I can find one. Light maintenance includes things such as weed control, trash cleanup, slope stability, pond side slope surface and access road grass trimming. It says grass shall be mowed on a regular basis to maintain a neat appearance. It appears to me that those grassy areas are to be maintained by the homeowner's association. The pictures that the homeowner's association provided to us did point out that there are areas where there is standing water and under the terms of these same easement agreements, ACHD has heavy maintenance responsibility and so I would say that that part of it is ACHD's responsibility to make sure there isn't standing water, particularly now that we have heightened concerns over mosquitoes and those sorts of issues. That was my opinion after looking at the documents. I did furnish a copy of the memo late yesterday afternoon to Mr. Brown, who is president of the Ashford Green's Homeowner's Association. So, I apologize for the lateness of getting the memo to you because I know you just got it yesterday as well. Nary: Thank you very much Mr. Nichols. I don't know, Mr. Watson, if you have anything you wanted to add? Watson: No. Nary: Okay, thank you. Council do you have any questions for Mr. Nichols? Rountree: Mr. President. Nary: Mr. Rountree. Rountree: I have a couple of questions. One with respect with the standing water in the easements. Is that something that the city should notify ACHD about and request that they take remedial action? Is that something that they do as a routine inspection of their drainage facilities? Nichols: Councilman Rountree my recommendation is that you have somebody on the staff work with ACHD to get some sort of a work program scheduled to have those items addressed, whether it's Mr. Watson or someone else. But, if Mr. Enselman had been here from ACHD to hear this part of the presentation I guess we could ask him but he is not here yet, so somebody on staff I think should be able to get something going with him. Canning: Mr. President. Nary: Ms. Canning. Meridian City Pre -Council Meeting September 28, 2004 Page 3 of 14 Canning: Councilman Rountree we are - we do have a joint meeting with ACHD next week and actually drainage ponds is going to be put on that agenda, so that may be a good question to raise - an opportunity to raise that question as well. Nary: Council, would that be something that we want to add then to the agenda for Monday, this particular one? De Weerd: Mr. President Nary: Madame Mayor De Weerd: It has already been added. As you can see from the memorandum from Doug Strong, we had wanted to talk about two other drainage ponds that are separate from this, but we will just add it to the discussion to drainage ponds specific to this one as well. Nary: Did you folks have comments? Why don't you come on up. Just state your name for the record. Brown: Tim Brown, president of Ashford Greens Homeowner's Association. How are you guys tonight? As far as a finding then on this issue, is that going to be issued - is this kind of being issued vocally right now or will it be something formal written relating to the response? De Weerd: We will have our city attorney next week draw something up. Nary: It looks like we have something in writing, but yeah, we could certainly do something else. I think after we have had some opportunity to discuss with the commissioners, I guess we could at least issue you a letter that tells you what's going to happen, some timetable (inaudible), who you can contact so that you know that it isn't something that's just getting left behind. Brown: One point of clarification - Nary: You did get a copy of Mr. Nichols'-? Brown: Yeah, I did. At one point of clarification was that the manual for light and heavy maintenance refers to Ashford Greens Association and/or Cherry Lane recreation. The actual easement agreement itself does not distinguish light maintenance, it just says several - in general some activities may be solely the responsibility of the association and does not specifically indicate light maintenance. At some point, is there going to be - is your response going to indicate whether or not light maintenance is the full responsibility of Ashford Greens or whether Cherry Lane Recreation will share in that? Nary: I sure hope so. I don't know. 1 guess I will have to see Meridian City Pre -Council Meeting September 28, 2004 Page 4 of 14 Brown: Okay. One other thing that Mr. Nichols indicated was that the grassy areas were — in his review going to be part of this light maintenance and I think that needs to be clarified and I think that needs to be clarified and not left open. By grassy areas, we take that to mean the seepage bed itself and we would continue to argue the point that any access to these beds, which are actually cart accesses for the course, are to be maintained by the course itself and not by our association and we will continue to pursue that, unless it's clarified in this response that the maintenance for those cart passes to be by Cherry Lane Recreation. Jumping ahead a little in the event that we — it sounds like we will be undertaking in the future maintenance of the beds itself. In regard to that maintenance, the light maintenance if an instance occurs, where Cherry Lane Recreation in maintaining those beds, who is the goveming authority there? Cherry Lane Recreation or the City of Meridian? If we have a problem with maintenance on those beds coordinating something with Cherry Lane Recreation? Nary: Mr. Nichols you have read the easement. Do you have an answer? Nichols: Thank you Mr. President. Mr. Brown, are you talking about if you need to go on there or if you perceive some issue between you and the lessee, I need a little more clarification — Brown: Hypothetically, light maintenance agreements states that we are responsible for weeding or also making sure the (inaudible) or the sloping of the berms is in a stable condition if we'd undertaken upon ourselves to go in and do something different on the berm. Do we have authority to override anything Cherry Lane Recreation may want to say about that since, in the event that you pin us with all the light maintenance and that falls under light maintenance and at that point do we have sole ownership of the light maintenance, therefore, can we do whatever we feel necessary? Nichols: Mr. President, Mr. Brown. I don't think it means that you can do anything that you want. I think these beds are supposed to be engineered, if I understand things correctly. So, they should have certain slopes, they should have certain characteristics and so I think your obligation to maintain slope stability is if you, for example, see some erosion or something like that you maintain the slope at whatever the engineer angle and so forth is, what the grade is and those kinds of things. That would be my understanding. With regard to maybe a larger issue, although the city owns the ground, Cherry Lane Recreation is the lessee, I believe, of this entire area, and therefore, you need to coordinate your activities with them because they do have property interests as the lessee of that property. So, I don't think that would be — I would hope that wouldn't be too difficult to do and that you would be able to coordinate those things with them. But, to do just do whatever you want to do on there, I would say that's not, but if Meridian City Pre -Council Meeting September 28, 21104 Page 5 of 14 what you wanted to do is the way it's engineered, I would say you are well within your rights to do that. Brown: So, we will know within a week when the written response comes out whether or not the light maintenance is part of Ashford Greens or not — our responsibility? Nary: Well, I think the opinion say it is. Nichols: Mr. President. Nary: Mr. Nichols. Nichols: Mr. Brown can you point out to me where in the easement it also refers to the Cherry Lane Recreation? Brown: For instance, go to easement agreement for Phase III behind Hubble's information, which is under the light and heavy maintenance — my document isn't in order, but on the top of one of my pages, which is not numbered reads this manual outlines the duties to be performed by the homeowner's association and/or Cherry Lane Recreation for the light maintenance of the storm water ponds associated with storm drain structures and access road at Ashford Greens' Subdivisions under five and six as well as the duties to be performed by AND for heavy maintenance of the ponds and associated structures. This was attached as part of the maintenance manual for light and heavy maintenance for Ashford Greens five and six. Nichols: Mr. President. Nary: Mr. Nichols. Nichols: Mr. President what I was referring to was not so much the manual part as it was the easement part. If you look, for example, I am looking at Ashford Greens number three, Section 3,2 in the easement — I'll just read it. 3.2 — When by written notice given to grantor and developer, ACHD has accepted the storm water drainage system as constructed and installed by a developer. The homeowner's association will have some maintenance responsibilities to be performed at sole cost and expense and ACHD will have heavy maintenance and repair responsibilities for the system, thereafter at its sole cost and expense. The respective responsibility shall be carried out in accordance of the terms and conditions of the manual for light maintenance and heavy maintenance at storm water infiltration ponds at Ashford Greens Subdivision and so on. So, it appears to me that although the — for example, the maintenance document on number three didn't say at the top and/or Cherry Lane Recreation it just says homeowner's association and the others may incorporate some reference to Cherry Lane Recreation, but in those agreements the language in 3.2 is the Meridian City Pre -Council Meeting September 28, 2004 Page 8 of 14 same and it makes no reference to Cherry Lane Recreation in those portions and so because you stand in the shoes of your developer, rightly or wrongly, I would say that the specific language under 3.2 controls, but again, that is just one lawyer's opinion, but that is the way I would read it. Brown: So, you will constitute some maintenance as and interpret that as performing as all light maintenance as outlined in the manual? Nichols: Because it says, for example, under 3 that it is the homeowner's association that does that. And again, just from an equity standpoint, for Cherry Lane to maintain drainage ponds or the city to even — you know, let's say Cherry Lane wasn't there and the city was running the course, the city to maintain those drainage ponds when they benefited the development that went in that you are alluding I think is outside the scope of what's equitable, but again, that's just my opinion. Nary: So, does that answer your question? I guess I wasn't anticipating that you were going to get a letter that says something different in that. I think what our intent was after next week, is hopefully giving you some contact information, some idea of what our discussion is in relation to the Highway District and what their plan is on whatever heavy maintenance, but what Mr. Nichols' opinion is, is who's responsibility it is is probably not going to change. Brown: So, for the record, then you — as far as heavy and light maintenance, we are not unfused on what the responsibilities are of either category there. We just want to make sure that there is something in writing that defines who is responsible for light maintenance and that will be given next week? Nary: t guess — I — talking in a circle? You don't think this does that? This says to me that its Mr. Nichols' opinion that the Ashford Greens Homeowner's Association is responsible for maintenance of these drainage areas regardless of whether they are in the common lot or on the golf course property and (inaudible) talking about is light maintenance. Brown: It says some maintenance. Nary: Okay. Brown: And so if you are interpreting some maintenance as light maintenance, I would like that clarified. Nary: Didn't he just say that to you a minute ago? Brown: Well, he said that's his opinion. Nary: Right. Meridian City Pre -Council Meeting September 28, 2004 Page 7 of 14 Brown: So, if the city is going to take the stance, I would just like it writing for us an association so for future records and for our sake we have that on file. De Weerd: Mr. President. Nary: Madame Mayor. De Weerd: I guess I understand the issue because we do ask all homeowner's associations to take care of their own drainage areas and so that's pretty clear on and in answer to the subdivisions question about the light maintenance. They are responsible for the light maintenance, ACHD for the heavy maintenance, but I guess where I think we have an answer at the question is on the areas that they have cart paths. Nary: Right De Weerd: Because that certainly isn't dealt with in any of our situations with other subdivisions and what we expect of them. Is that still something that you were looking for as well? Because those are two different issues. There is the issue of storm water drainage areas - Brown: Yeah, and that's ail I have touched on at this point. De Weerd: -- the other one is not so black and white. Mr. Nichols, I guess, have you had a chance to take a look at that as a separate issue? Nichols: Madame Mayor, members of the Council just what I have looked at at this meeting tonight, there is apparently some anticipation under these ACHD standards for taking care of access roads. Now if the cart path is also an access road to the drainage area then I think you have got - there needs to be some cooperation there. But, I think that's just simply talking about keeping the grass trimmed and it also says that weed control for the entire area of the pond and access road. So, that appears - I can understand their frustration. If there was an access road to a drainage pond and nobody else was using it, it's easier for them to swallow the maintenance than the access road being the cart path that the course golfers use so to the extent that there needs to be some cooperation between these two entities is what it boils down to there I think. Because I can see both sides of that one. I can see where the golf course could say, look they have got to maintain the access road and the homeowner's association is saying yeah, but you are using it for a cart path. So, there should be some cooperation there on that part of it. Brown: With the exception of one bed in of the six, all of them are accessible from county roads. The one bed that is not, which is off of Silverleaf in our subdivision is accessed through a cart path. The cart path would be there with or Meridian City Pre -Council Meeting September 28, 2004 Page 8 of 14 without the seepage bed, though. That is their only point of access to the course to the rest of — there at the last five holes in the course. So, our argument would be that they would be maintaining that cart path with or without our seepage bed there as an access to it. De Weerd: So, that's the only place you really are taking issue on? Brown: That cart path is a large path. It enters both sides of the road. There is a side on the other side of Silverleaf without a seepage bed, but is in the same condition as the one with the seepage bed. So, my question, I guess at this point is if I have issues with the maintenance of those areas, do I proceed to present them to Cherry Lane Recreation for remedy? Does the city have any say in that as the lessor? Nichols: Mr. President, members of Council the answer is yes and yes. The city does have some say over how the course is maintained and that's been an ongoing issue and discussion between the city and Cherry Lane Recreation. Should you contact them directly first to try and address those issues, the answer is yes. They have given us every indication that they are more than willing to sit down and discuss those things. Where the discussion goes from there, but at least they have indicated their willingness to do those things and they have shown that in the past. Brown: In the event that we can work things out with them by first going to them with our issues and that works that would be great. If, however, they disagree with us at which point do we come back to you? Nichols: I will leave that for the Council to decide De Weerd: Mr. President. Nary: Madame Mayor. De Weerd: It probably would be helpful if you could provide just an area map on where those access roads are and which ones you really have taken issue with so that we can — I have no idea of the areas that you are talking about and maybe then we could share that with Cherry Lane and get a better idea of where they are coming from, what is an ACHD thing and I guess not knowing anything about those areas if you could just highlight those and where they are so — Brown: We provided those two weeks ago to you guys as part of that packet. De Weerd: Do you have — Brown: I gave you pictures of the two access and we gave you one of the access that we maintain. Meridian City Pre -Council Meeting September 28, 2004 Page 9 of 14 (Inaudible discussion) Brown: Those are the accesses that are currently causing a lot of the hard berm and then I had attached — De Weerd: So that's on all (inaudible) --? Brown: And then I attached pictures — (Inaudible discussion -------). De Weerd: Oh, okay, well thank you. Really, a and b — that's your primary area? Brown: Those are the areas that are in most disrepair currently on the course. I receive personally calls all the time from homeowners about weeding mostly of the course. That's an ongoing thing that we will initially try to address with the course itself to see if we can resolve that. As far as — you know we would like to see some action taken on those two specific cart paths. Nary: Council do you have any questions for Mr. Brown? Bird: I have none. Brown: I had one last question. In the agreement with the course, that (inaudible) back to 1978, where the city entered an agreement with the new pacific company from Oregon. There were terms set up where the course would be evaluated once a year by a party to be determined in that it would be reviewed at least annually. Has that taken place? Bird: No. Nary: There have been some ongoing discussions with Cherry Lane on some issues that have gone on maintenance issues in general. So, I don't know that a lot of those things have been adhered to. De Weerd: Mr. Nichols do you want to answer that. Nichols: Madame Mayor, members of the Council, Mr. Brown the Council stepped up I believe it was two years ago and paid for the USGA turf service report because there have never been a definitive inspection of the course, ever since the completion of the second nine and so the Council went ahead and authorized to pay for that and they did that. There has been a running dialogue with the course over maintenance issues. There has been a golf course committee that you probably read their report. There have been a variety of different things gone on. A specific you know get an independent person to do Meridian City Pre -Council Meeting September 28, 2004 Page 10 of 14 an inspection of the course, I believe the consensus is because there has not been a market difference in the service said it was in. So, that's all I can tell you on that specific follow up, independent report that I am aware of. De Weerd: Mr. President. Nary: Madame Mayor. that hasn't been done course from the USGA There has not been a De Weerd: I guess just to add to that is we did meet with a representative this summer and we are starting to work towards setting those standards for that annual review. So, it hasn't been done. The USGA report kind of was the thing that got the dialogue specifically more focused and now we are going down that part of the planned path. We are working towards that. Brown: My last comment then is more of a question. If issues were regarding upkeep cannot be worked out to our satisfaction with Cherry Lane Recreation, then we do come to you to have those resolved if they don't act within a 30 day period as they are supposed to when maintenance issues are brought to them per their lease agreement? Nichols: Mr. President. Nary: Mr. Nichols. Nichols: Mr. President, members of the Council I am not sure that the Council is the final arbiter disputes between you and the golf course lessee, but I am sure that the Council would be willing to try to facilitate things if there is some kind of law jam because that's what this group is, is they are facilitators for a lot of things. So, 1 would say that if you have an issue that you can't get resolved with Cherry Lane, contact the Mayor and if she is able to take care of things for you, great and if not then I guess she can ask for help. Brown: My only reason for bringing that up is as the lessee you guys hold that lease over them and based on the lease agreement of a breach in maintenance can constitute a retraction of release from them. I would call that kind of holding a hammer or being a facilitator a little bit more than a facilitator and so that's why I look back to the city as the lessor to remedy that situation. Nary: Not to be trite, Mr. Brown, if it was all that easy it would be nice. It's not always quite that easy. Certainly, I think Mr. Nichols is right that if there are issues with Cherry Lane I think that the Mayor and the Council would always be willing to listen to that and try to participate in that and try to facilitate some resolution to it, but you know are we the judge and jury of that? Not exactly. Is it quite so easy to say a maintenance dispute over a drainage pond or an access road or a cart path is enough ammunition to revoke an existing lease depends on Meridian City Pre -Council Meeting September 28, 2004 Page 11 of 14 the circumstances not necessarily. If it was all so quite out and dried like that we wouldn't need lawyers. Where would we be with that? So, if there are issues, we certainly I think are going to want to listen to that. That doesn't eventually mean that that may solve everything. Does Cherry Lane want to add anything? Or do you just want to sit very quietly? Speaker?: I am just listening tonight. I would like to know what areas he is talking about. I don't think we got a copy of that. Nary: Okay. Well, we can get you a copy of the map that he provided. That's no problem. Anything else, Mr. Brown? Brown: No. Thank you. Nary: Council, anything else? Bird: Mr. President. Nary: Mr. Bird. Bird: On one of these pictures, in picture A, I don't know if Cherry Lane's planting tomatoes out there, but there is a lot of tomato plants down there and it does look kind of (inaudible) to have to think that most of those weeds are coming from the property that backs up to it. From the looks of this picture right here, its quite a ways away from the clubhouse, if the clubhouse is growing tomatoes. Nary: Well, at least we will have some discussion with the Highway District about the heavy maintenance and I guess we could discuss after that, Council, the response letter to Ashford Greens so we at least know where we are at, at that point. We'll get a copy of that for your folks. Anything else on that item, Council? 4. Discuss Letter to Ada County Commissioners regarding Park Impact Fees: Nary: The other item on our agenda is the Ada County Commissioner's letter regarding park impact fees and Ms. Canning had prepared for us and it's sitting here and I think almost all of us have signed it. I think just Councilman Wardle hasn't signed it yet. Ms. Canning did you have anything that you wanted to add besides the letter? Canning: Mr. President, Madame Mayor, members of the Council the only issue would be that the Mayor did point out to me just before the hearing that there is blanks on that inserted text for 944 C4, those relate to the memorandum of agreement that's noted in the next paragraph. So, I think there is just some paragraph relocation that we may need to do on the first page. If we move that Meridian City Pre -Council Meeting September 28, 2004 Page 12 of 14 paragraph that begins we also propose to enter into and if we move it to just before where it says to accomplish this, we propose the following additional paragraphs. It's just relocating one paragraph so that it makes logical sense, but I can work with the Mayor on that. Nary: On the second line on the letter too, all the spacing between the letters is kind of off. Did you say that, too? At least the copy that is in front of us. I don't know whether that was just a printer error, but it looks like — Canning: I have a different copy than you have. So, I am not sure Nary: Okay. Canning: It's on expanded text, so it will change the spacing, but we can click that item off if we need to. Nary: It just looks funny. Council any questions on that? Is there anything else? That's all we have on our agenda for Pre -Council this evening. I think we had already approved the letter and that's why we are ready to sign it. I think it was just to make sure that everything was good, but I think we are all okay with that. 1 think it was requested by the county in a very nicely worded letter to us. Is there any other items, Mr. Berg is asking for the ACHD agenda, since we have a moment? I think we have a draft agenda in front of you Council that (inaudible) would like to put on for discussion on Monday. Its a joint meeting at noon over at the Highway District. Right now all we show is the update on current and future projects update on the transportation management plan and then I think now the discussion on drainage will be an item. Is there anything else, Council, that you want to add? Bird: Looks fine to me. Rountree: No, it looks sufficient. Nary: Before we take a motion to adjourn, I just wanted to say that this has been a lot of fun. This has been a very fun time to run these meetings. I have enjoyed it very much. Bird: Mr. President. Nary: Mr. Bird. Bird: Well, while we got a couple of minutes here I am going to take seniority doing a little talking. I have mixed emotion on Mr. Nary leaving the Council and going to the city because he has been one of the finest Councilman I have been privileged to serve with. We haven't always agreed, but you always knew where Bill stood and I appreciate that out of anybody. I know that the city is going to be Meridian City Pre -Council Meeting September 28, 2004 Page 13 of 14 better for it because of him becoming our attorney and I just wanted to thank Bill for the three years that he has sat here as a Councilman and the good work he has done and I have certainly enjoyed working with him. Like I said, we have disagreed a lot, but we have always left as friends, I hope. I appreciate it, Bill. Nary: Mr. Bird thank you very much I appreciate all those comments. I just thought your intent was so that I would sit over there next to you. Rountree: Mr. President you may not want that, but — my few months on the council as a returning previous councilman, I do want to compliment you on your presidency and my working with you in the past nine months has been my pleasure and I appreciate the guidance and direction you have provided and look forward to working with you in the future in your new capacity. I think the city loses and gains and we will move positively forward with this. Thank you for your time. Nary: Thank you both very much. I know that during the regular meeting we have this on our agenda as well and I don't know, the Mayor will probably want to add some comments and I might have a comment or two before we are done. I appreciate everything. I appreciate what you say and it is a very exciting opportunity and I agree with Mr. Bird it is a mixed emotion. I like sitting here. I have enjoyed it very much. It is a lot of fun. More fun than I really realized it would be. But, I am excited about the opportunity and changing positions and 1 look forward to a long time. I don't change very much. I don't move around very much. I think most people know that. I am excited about that. If there is nothing else, I guess we could adjourn this one. Bird: So moved. Rountree: Second. Nary: It's been moved and seconded to adjourn our Pre -Council meeting of September 28, 2004. All those in favor, say aye. ALL AYES. MOTION CARRIED. MEETING AJOURNED AT 6;40 P.M.
