Good evening. Wade: Hello. My name is Elyssa Wade. I am the MYAC vice-chair. The first thing I would like to talk about today is the January competition that we had. Our goal was to get MYACers to bring friends into MYAC and get more students involved with their community and at the end the student that brought the most friends would receive a 50 dollar gift card to The Village. Next we had some amazing guest speakers this month. We had Andy Fujimoto that was talking about Rising Star versus Star Performer. What makes people happy. Why people -- I'm sorry. The three keys to success was aspiration, engagement, and technical ability. Our next was Jeff Reynolds, which he talked about Ignite Youth, how to present that. His experience with the other people that did it and Matt McCarter, he talked about why people die by suicide, what makes people happy. Leadership. One very important thing that stood out to me throughout these guest speakers was at the very end of Andy Fujimoto he gave us his personal contact if we ever needed to talk to him, which I thought that that was very amazing for a guest speaker. January 20th, 2018, we had our legislative breakfast, discussing our topic on organ donation, which was supposed to be designated to students ages 15 through 17 to be able to put their organ donation stamp on their driver's license or ID if consented by a parent. January 20th we also had our MYAC tubing event, which turned out successful, and we had many people come and enjoy that. This was at Eagle Island State Park. Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 10 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 5 of 101 And, lastly, I would like to invite Ben Hutchins up to the podium to tell us about his role in MYAC, as we are trying to get more students presented to City Council. De Weerd: Hi, Ben. Hutchins: I'm Ben Hutchins. I am the at large ambassador for MYAC. So -- I messed that up. I speak for the charter schools, the schools in Meridian that aren't represented by direct ambassadors, like the big schools, like Rocky. I'm for like Northstar Charter School, Meridian -- the -- the academy. Sorry. I totally blanked on that. Yeah. Meridian Medical. And my sister and I are both the co-at large ambassadors and we pretty much inform the schools about what MYAC is about. We tell them about the upcoming events and we make a presence for MYAC in the schools. De Weerd: Well -- and, Ben, I think you -- you have recently -- you and Abby have reached out to Central Academy, Meridian Academy Rebound, which we had I think a couple of students from Rebound that attended the youth summit and with Compass Charter, the other two charters of Meridian Medical Arts and the technical charter, you have a lot of schools to cover. Hutchins: Yes, we do. And it's really cool at the summit that we had, we had the students from Rebound and we had just a vast amount of schools that we had covered and throughout each meeting we have been having different schools showing up, which has been really great. We have been getting MYAC's name out and it's been really great for us. De Weerd: Well, thank you for that. Wade: Are there any questions? I'm free to answer. De Weerd: Any questions some Council? No? You did an awesome job. Wade: Good afternoon. De Weerd: Thank you. Active kids. And we have Ignite Youth coming up that we are encouraging young members of our community to sign up for. It's -- the gentleman that came and presented -- Boise Ignite to the teens, he did it in the Ignite format, so he had five minutes and 20 slides to present the idea and so we look forward to seeing what great ideas are expressed this year. Okay. Well, thank you for joining. B. Meridian Arts Commission: Concerts on Broadway Memorandum of Agreement with the Meridian Development Corporation and Budget Amendment for Spending Authority 1. Approval for Memorandum of Agreement Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 11 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 6 of 101 2. Approval for Net-Zero Budget Amendment for Spending Authority of Funds Not-to-Exceed $10,000 De Weerd: Item 8-B is from our Meridian Arts Commission. Bodnar: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I'm here to present a memorandum of agreement and, then, pending the approval of that memorandum of agreement a budget amendment form for Concerts on Broadway and the Meridian Development Corporation's contribution to that annual event. I don't know what else you need from me. It's an annual ask and we already have their agreement. That should be included in your packet and I just tried -- we are trying to put the budget amendment with the agreements as they happen. De Weerd: Okay. Are there any questions regarding this pass-through fund amendment? Cavener: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Cavener. Cavener: Hillary, just for clarification, four concerts? Bodnar: Four concerts. Yep. Cavener: Great. Bodnar: And they are going to be all in July and August this year, so -- De Weerd: So, you already have an idea who they are? Bodnar: Yes. I should have brought that to you. We have got two new bands and, then, two recurring bands. So, High Street will be back in this year. They are always a big hit. One of the bands that was new last year, Jeffrey Castle and his Celtic Knight Band, they were the closures of last year and they actually agreed to do some education, some outreach to local schools. So Jeffrey Castle is going to go into I think a couple of different schools and talk to some of their orchestra students and their band students and kind of talk to them about his experience as a musician and, then, we have Avenue B, which will be the first year we have had Avenue B here and I’m blanking on the last one. De Weerd: Yeah. I can't help you. Bodnar: It's a great lineup. De Weerd: Very good. Bodnar: And we had the Meridian Symphony Orchestra hosted their competition two weekends ago, which Gretchen attended, and that's where we select our student Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 12 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 7 of 101 performers, our student openers from. So, she said there were like five or six different amazing youth performers that could easily come in help fill those spaces. But we try to usually just highlight one before each show. De Weerd: Thank you. Council, any questions -- any further questions? If not, I would entertain a motion. Cavener: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Cavener. Cavener: Maybe a question for legal. Can we approve them together? Do we need to approve the memorandum and the budget amendment separately? Nary: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, Council Member Cavener, if you can approve them separately. Cavener: All right. I move we approve the memorandum of agreement with the Meridian Development Corporation for Concerts on Broadway. Bernt: Second. De Weerd: I have a motion and a second. Any discussion? Hearing none, Mr. Clerk. Roll call: Borton, yea; Milam, absent; Cavener, yea; Palmer, yea; Little Roberts, absent; Bernt, yea. De Weerd: All ayes. MOTION CARRIED: FOUR AYES. TWO ABSENT. Cavener: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Cavener. Cavener: I move we approve this budget amendment from the Arts Commission for a not to exceed -- not to exceed amount of 10,000 dollars. Bernt: Second. De Weerd: I have a motion and a second to approve item -- whatever item this is. B-2. 8-B-2. Mr. Clerk. Roll call: Borton, yea; Milam, absent; Cavener, yea; Palmer, yea; Little Roberts, absent; Bernt, yea. Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 13 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 8 of 101 De Weerd: All ayes. MOTION CARRIED: FOUR AYES. TWO ABSENT. Bodnar: Thank you. C. Amended onto the agenda: Update on Waterline Break on Eagle Road De Weerd: Thank you, Hillary. Item 8-C is an update on a major event -- kind of a major -- yeah, it was a major event last night. It's had our water division very busy last night and today. Bolthouse: Madam Mayor, Members of Council, yes, we have had quite a -- quite a -- coming up on 24 hours here with -- with a little bit of excitement in our water department. I was driving home last night thinking about water disasters. I had got a call earlier today and -- by my wife only to be notified that our washer had blown up and we had all kinds of issues at home. So, I was thinking what else could possibly go wrong, other than the washing machine when I got home. Well, that's a -- that's a dangerous question to be asking. At about 10:25 last night we got notified from our SKADA system -- I'm putting in a couple pitches for why we have these automated systems. Our SKADA system lit up with all kinds of low pressure alarm systems to a variety of folks in our water department indicating that, hey, we had lost pressure in a major zone in our city and we got that reading in several wells and that immediately puts in the emergency response team for our water department into action and so literally that entire group starts mobilizing and heading towards -- towards the water department and if known where it's at. In the meantime we started to receive some citizen calls that said, hey, there is a lot of water out here on Eagle Road and -- and so the combination of the two directs our group -- several personnel responding and, lo and behold, we found a water main break on -- on Eagle Road. The actual section of the water break I guess you could say if there was something fortunate about it, we were lucky in that it's a -- it's a cross-member main tie that goes from east to west right at Florence Street and it is valved on both ends. So, once we got there and through our GIS and Asset Management Systems, we knew exactly where our valves are. We locate them. We turn them off. And within 45 minutes we had the entire system isolated, shut down, and pressures were back up across that zone and the rest of the city. So, utilizing some of those tools that we -- we ask for your support every year, really -- really paid off here. There were a number of agencies that responded, all at that time. So, when we arrived there was already police there blocking the roads and keeping people from -- from getting into the -- the water that was flowing, which was -- which was awesome. Fire responded. ITD was already there helping to set up barricades and things. Dig Line is immediately called, because we know we have got -- we have got an excavation, you know, coming and so it was really -- it was really an awesome response by a variety of -- of individuals, not to mention our water and waste water groups. So, a full 20 foot section of 12 inch water main completely split, if you will, from stem to stern. That water line was installed in 1984. It's about eight feet deep below the road surface right there. So, obviously, age is not necessarily a primary consideration Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 14 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 9 of 101 for PVC pipe at that age. But what we do find is that when we have this kind of catastrophic failure, a lot of times it leads back to installation of that and, really, the criticality of our inspection team today to make sure that it's installed properly, bedded, and doesn't have the opportunity for any outside pressure influences or deflection in the pipe, that over time can ultimately, you know, create a failure and without really knowing -- it's probably speculative, but our experience tells us that that's a real probably cause of this particular event. So, the road was closed and over the course of the night we dug up the section, our water group, with our equipment and by 7:00 o'clock or so this morning we had the line repaired, back in service, charged, cleaned, sanitized, sampled DEQ notified, and we were, in essence, done with our part of it. And, then, it becomes a road project. There were no customer impacts at all from this incident, other than low pressure. So, when you have the release of that amount of water, pumps kicking on, you see a pressure drop, but we actually didn't have a service outage, if you will, from any customers. We did have this morning a few brown water calls. I think we had a total of five that I'm aware of, which was surprisingly little for this kind of an event. So, we are -- we are pleased with that. We also had some peripheral impact. So, obviously, this amount of water -- and we are still working on estimates, but it could be several hundred thousand gallons that are released in a very short period of time. We did have water flowing off Eagle Road and primarily to the south and west. There is a couple of businesses there that the water flowed up against their foundation. One of them had water in the crawl space. The other business actually has a basement and had some water in their basement. Those -- we had kind of disaster clean up type services there assisting them on getting those cleaned up already last night. We also had -- was notified by CenturyLink telephone service in some of the surrounding area there was disrupted and we are not exactly sure how our water influenced that, but it may have found its way into some areas that could have created a challenge and they are still out there this afternoon trying to pick their way through and find exactly the last last -- last customers of theirs that are disrupted. So, last night, you know, after the water department got things under control, we realized that we have got a significant, you know, project with road work -- you know, Dennis and team starts down through and found L-2 Excavation to be our lead contractor on the project. They engaged with Central Paving, Specialty Construction, Curtis Clean Sweep and got a full team put together that have been now working through the day to rehab that area and get it prepared for asphalt. So, most of the day backfilling curbs, compaction, final subgrade, new asphalt prep and we are very fortunate that there is even an asphalt operation running this time of year. It normally is cold and they aren't operating, but there is some other critical asphalt efforts happening in the valley and so we do have access to that and so that's going to -- that's going to be very beneficial for us getting a good solution to this, although it will be probably tomorrow. So, the probable schedule. So, where we are at. So, they are -- right now ITD has made a decision that they would like to attempt to do a temporary fix right now for the -- for tonight, filled it with gravel, compact it, isolate some lanes north and south, no turning and things, and open it up and try to get through to 9:00 o'clock tomorrow morning in a temporary situation, in which case, then, we will shut the road back down, excavate out some of the gravel that has to come out and, then, the -- we will go through the blacktop asphalt operations, striping, and hope, if things work really well, that it would be open up tomorrow afternoon or early evening tomorrow with a permanent fix, at least for now. So, Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 15 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 10 of 101 as these things -- as these things always seem to go, there was just tremendous cooperation with a variety of the agencies from the Meridian police and fire department, ITD, L-2 Excavation and I can't tell you how proud we are of our water and wastewater teams who worked through the night to try to minimize the impact on our citizens. This was the perfect storm, if you will, but we had some fortunate breaks along the way. So, we will take those when we can get them. Want to recognize Dennis, who has been -- is running on empty, but has -- has really been our point of contact throughout the whole thing. So, we appreciate him and all of his work through the night. So, with that I would be glad to stand for any questions and if I can't answer them I got an engineer and a superintendent ready to do that, so -- De Weerd: And we certainly appreciate the constant updates from both police and Dennis. You were excellent at communicating, so that Kaycee could really form the messages to get out to the media. So, appreciate that. I know our police department and I think, you know, Dennis, you might be a new media superstar or something -- no? Okay. Council, any questions? Borton: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Borton. Borton: Not -- not a question, but a comment. There is -- there is sometimes obvious opportunities or less obvious opportunities to be really, really proud of our city and our employees and this is an excellent example of just how proud we all are of how you have led and how the whole team led through this difficult situation. It's extremely impressive. I think the coordination you described doesn't happen by chance. The fact that you're prepared to have everybody ready to respond and know what to do and -- and everybody covers their responsibility and -- it's phenomenal and the whole community doesn't necessarily get a chance to see you in action and see kind of the guts of a city work so well together, but this is the best example of that. So, we are proud in many ways, many days, but this is a very clear shining example. So, thank you very much. Bolthouse: Thank you. And I will carry that message back to all the parties that were involved, so appreciate that. De Weerd: Please do. Thank you. Bolthouse: Thank you. De Weerd: We thought an update would be important tonight. This is a major incident and, surprisingly, the media -- not surprisingly. The media covered it well. But really helped with the messaging to -- you know, this was a major inconvenience and a major traffic issue, but our crews were out there on the -- on the pavement making sure that they helped ease the flow, as well as possible. That facility carries 54,000 cars a day and so we know it's going to be a major inconvenience, but this is one of those things that you Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 16 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 11 of 101 just hope to never see happen, but it's nice to see we were prepared when it did. So, thank you. D. Landfill Rate Increase Discussion De Weerd: Okay. Item 8-D is a discussion that we have with our SWAC and Republic and I don't know who is taking the lead on this. Don't know who drew the short straw; right? Cory: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I can get out of the way pretty fast on this one. At the -- De Weerd: Steve, if you will just state your name for the record. Cory: Steve Cory and I am chairman of the Solid Waste Advisory Commission. De Weerd: Thank you. Cory: And at the Solid Waste Advisory Committee meeting for the county last month I was handed a letter in an envelope and didn't think much of it and, then, a couple of nights later one of the employees of the county -- did you read the letter I handed you and I went, oh, well, I will take a little better look at it. Anyway, it was on this subject and I hope you have all been given a copy of it. We were made aware of Ada county's action, but realized that it was an inappropriate communication method, that it should have come directly to the city instead of through a citizen, and that notification from Republic was necessary on this issue and at this time SWAC has not picked up the issue and we are more than happy to do that at your direction when you feel -- if you feel that we need to be involved in it and with that I'm going to turn it over to Republic to go ahead and address the content of that letter. De Weerd: Okay. Thank you, Steve. Fisher: My name is Dave Fisher, I'm the general manager for Republic Services here in Idaho and -- Remling: Rodney Remling, the controller. De Weerd: Thank you. Fisher: And I would just like to say that I love your screen saver, it makes a great screen saver. I'm glad it's not on our streets and we are not living that like we did last year. So, our garbage men and recyclers out there are loving the weather we are having right now. So, glad we are not having that conversation. I think -- I believe you do have a copy of the letter. We received it January 16th, that informed us as of the 22nd that our effective rate at the transfer station -- the Meridian transfer station was going to change and was going to go to a per ton basis. From what we have been paying traditionally to this number Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 17 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 12 of 101 is just over 11 percent increase and in Section 22 of the contract between Meridian -- the City of Meridian and SSC that we -- then that contract was assigned to us, there is Section 22 that allows for these type of price increases to our cost structure, that we can, then, bring that to City Council and ask for help and a modification of the rate, so -- so, far any questions? Cavener: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Cavener. Cavener: And, Dave, I don't know if it's a question for you or for the commissioners. I read the letter and I'm struggling to kind of wrap my head around where the rationale for the rate increase is coming from. It appears that because it's a convenience for our community to utilize the transfer station, that they feel the need to charge more and -- am I missing something? Fisher: Mayor and Commissioner Cavener, there is a -- when that transfer station was built there was a letter written by SSC that was kind of laying out what their intent was on how the trash would be charged. Typically we are charged by the cubic yard and so there is always that -- well, how many cubic yards are in the trailer or in the truck. There is a little bit of a -- you know, a cooperation between the hauler or in the county on that. When we purchased SSC we want to get a little more structure in that, because what we saw before was that it was -- a little bit was up to the driver and we didn't want fluctuations based on what the driver thought or I didn't know or knew, so we put a pricing structure in where we now knew the weight of that trailer, so we took the weight of the trailer, divided by a thousand pounds, to calculate the yards and so we were very, very consistent, very, very up front about it. The county disagrees with that way of doing it, so we had that disagreement this summer and so we suggested that we go to what had been our effective rate, using that method, which was 22 dollars a ton and go to a per ton basis. We asked them to do that. They responded back August 15th. They talk about that. And there is some correspondence back and forth. We asked for 22 dollars a ton and this is what their official response was that we got in January that, no, that is being rejected and they want 24.50 a ton. So, maybe a little more history than you wanted, but that's kind of where we are at on this. Cavener: Madam Mayor, follow up. De Weerd: Uh-huh. Cavener: Is the -- I know you provide waste hauling to a number of municipalities in the valley. Is it a consistent charge for all those same municipalities? Is it more from Meridian? Is it less? Help get me educated on that particular piece. Fisher: You bet. Mayor Tammy and Members of the Council, it's been consistent and it's 11 dollars per compacted yard, 5.50 for loose, and so the blue trucks that roll up to the landfill are charged 11 dollars a yard and that's what we are using to calculate out of the Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 18 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 13 of 101 Boise transfer station. We have a transfer station in Boise also and we have the one here in Meridian and that's what the basis has been. So, this is the -- really, the first per ton charge that has been levied and it's -- in the letter you will see it's not only for the Meridian transfer station, but it's also the transfer station in Boise is going to 24.50 per ton. The blue trucks going up the hill are still at 11 dollars per cubic yard. De Weerd: So, Dave, did you take this to SWAC when you heard that they were going to have a public hearing on it, so that we had at least an opportunity to go and weigh in? This is out of the blue. Yes, it was delivered in a very inappropriate manner, but we know that we all have to hold public hearings on increasing rates and it would have been very appropriate for us to have been able to weigh in, understand the science that you just explained to Mr. Cavener and at least had an opportunity to say we are in the middle of our -- you asked for a rate hike this last fall. That's usually when those increases are considered. We don't even have an opportunity to put this out to our citizens. It's just like -- it's effective immediately, I assume? Fisher: Yes. It was effective -- we -- we received notification basically January 16th. We were not notified of any public hearing or any meeting to have a conversation about it. We were handed the letter the same way that your SWAC chairman was handed -- was handed the letter. De Weerd: Did Ada County SWAC know about this as well? Mr. Cory? Cory: No. No. They were not informed at all. De Weerd: So, do we know how they put out the information about the public hearing? Usually they publish. I assume. Cory: All I can say is, no, we -- we received no information. So, I have no idea how it was communicated. De Weerd: Mr. Nary, is a rate increase even valid without a public hearing? Or post -- a posted public hearing? Nary: So, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, we did some research as well and there was an earlier discussion at -- I think at the Ada County Solid Commission, but all the -- in reviewing the minutes, all the conversation was -- and I think it pretty much ended with this -- this rate structure that exists today isn't sustainable, it will need to change, but no clarity as to when or how that would be done or what the mathematics behind that would be. It was -- it was just a very open discussion from minutes. Now, again, I know Mr. Cory was there, but, then, we did research to look to see if any public notice had been done. Yes, the county does have to follow the same requirements that we do in publishing notice, having an agenda, public hearing -- a noticed public hearing before rates can be increased. We could not locate a public notice of any kind in the Idaho Statesman, which is their paper of record. So, in our opinion they haven't properly noticed this, which -- Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 19 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 14 of 101 which does mean that an objection could be made by Republic, by the city, by any taxpayer as to this rate being charged without notice being provided. De Weerd: Well, I guess, you know, going back to when the transfer station was built, it was during air quality issues, emission issues, that -- this was seen as a -- a solution to the number of trips that went up to the landfill and to reduce those and to -- to provide better service and so that our citizens also didn't have to go up to the landfill, they could take it to the transfer station as well and minimize the trips on the road. Have you asked the county at least to have an audience to talk about this? I guess we could ask ourselves, but certainly, Republic, have you made that request of them? Fisher: Yes. And I have scheduled a meeting today with them. They said the first available time was like the third week of March. De Weerd: And in the meantime they expect you to pay the increase? Fisher: Yes, Mayor, they do. Nary: Madam Mayor, I would add one more point if you wouldn’t mind. De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Nary. Nary: The other -- the other concern I would have is -- Mr. Fisher is correct, our contract with -- with Republic Services -- or originally SSC, does -- does mandate that we will, then, if they do have a rate increase, the city shall, then, add to our rate increase to our customers to make up for that gap. Our concern from the legal department is that if the fee wasn't legally instituted, we, then, can't turn around and impose that on our citizens either. So, I do think, you know, a response from the city has to be made as well, because we can't substantiate that this rate was increased legally. Now, that's just a delay. They can redo it. But that does delay the imposition of when the rate does take effect. De Weerd: Do you have a cost that -- what is the cost that this new increases? Remling: Yes, Madam Mayor, we run some numbers on that and so it's about an 11 percent increase on us and disposal, but it translates to just under two percent -- about two percent for the residential customer, which is, you know, roughly what annual increases have been running for the last several years. So, you're looking at that. On a prearranged basis -- I don't have the percentage on commercial, but typically it runs about the same. De Weerd: And will you give me a real number? Two percent, what does that mean? Remling: So, we are looking at about 30 cents on -- 30 cents per month for a residential household. So, that's -- we are still working the numbers, but that's pretty close. De Weerd: Thank you, Rodney. Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 20 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 15 of 101 Remling: Yes, ma'am. De Weerd: Any other questions, Council? Mr. Bernt. Bernt: I think we might be delaying the inevitable, obviously, but I think that it's important that we have this discussion, both legally and I think it's out of respect and, you know, I mean we are an organization that we have customers and citizens who care, so I think it's our duty and to -- and, you know, to -- to ask questions and, you know, I think that we need to do it. I think -- I don't know what the process is to -- legally to get Mr. Nary involved or whatever, but I think it's important that we do it. Absolutely. De Weerd: It just probably seems a little frustrating to SWAC and certainly we have been working very closely with the county with this recycling issue and trying to understand that and look at different alternatives and -- and this has never come up even in those conversations. So, it -- I guess, Steve, in answer to you and your comment, if we are requested to look into this, I would say that our Solid Waste Advisory Commission really should take a look at this and you vet every increase and as citizen representatives this is your dollars just as much as it's all of our dollars sitting up here as well, that I would like to see that SWAC has a conversation about this and -- and that maybe our legal team reaches out to request a conversation with the county -- at least to show us where the public notice was and if we could request a conversation with them before it's expected to be imposed to Republic. Cory: We can do that. De Weerd: And I hope you understand that we can't impose a cost to our citizens until it has gone through the legal processes as well and that puts you in the middle. But I don't think you should be paying an increase that is not official and it sounds like it is not official, but we need to ask them. Cavener: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Cavener. Cavener: Recognizing the awkward position that you guys find yourself in, I'm just curious -- have you made a similar presentation to the city of Boise and what has been the response from -- from their mayor and council as a result? Fisher: We have not been to city council yet. We are talking to the public works staff and working through the numbers with them and having the same conversations. So, we made them aware of -- aware of it also. De Weerd: And the impact on Boise is not as great as the impact on our -- our situation, because all of our garbage goes to the transfer station first. Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 21 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 16 of 101 Fisher: That is true, Mayor. Nary: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Nary. Nary: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, we have internally also reached out to the city of Boise and Mr. Fisher is correct, we are still trying to coordinate a response. They also want to respond similarly, because they have similar concerns as we do. The Mayor is correct, the impact on them is slightly different than it is to the City of Meridian, but the same issues have the same impact to them of wanting to make sure the county understands what our concerns are, so -- De Weerd: And I agree with Mr. Bernt, that there -- this cost, you know, is probably at some point going to be something that we pass through, but we should have the conversation and we should be able to know the rationale behind it, so we can share that with our citizens as well. It just doesn't work because the county told us to. Or maybe I can use because Republic told us to. You're in a good situation today with recycling anyway. You might as well just pile that one on, too. Fisher: It's been a very pleasant three months, let me tell you. De Weerd: We agree. Any other questions from Council? So, I guess next steps would be a letter to reach out to the county and as you're having those conversations as well, David, if you will keep our staff in the loop and to our Solid Waste Advisory Commission that we will add one new topic to your growing list. You guys have never been so busy, have you? Cory: I do have a concern as to whether I'm making this a rather large position for a citizen and whether that might be getting to the point where discussions about someone within the city structure may need to be present in the future. De Weerd: True. And Boise has it in public works. Humm. There you go, Dale. We will have a conversation. Okay. Well, thank you. We appreciate your time here tonight and we will try and -- and unravel this together and I am sure -- this is not a new topic. It has happened many years ago. It just I think caught everyone unawares and we need to work on how we can improve that conversation, but also how we can substantiate the -- the increase. Cory: Thank you. Item 9: Action Items A. Final Plat for Blakeslee Commons (H-2017-0164) by Bungalows Meridian LLC located on the south side of E. Ustick Road between N. Locust Grove Road and N. Eagle Road Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 22 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 17 of 101 De Weerd: Okay. Thank you. Okay. Item 9-A is a final plat on H-2017-0164. Beach: Good evening, Madam Mayor. If I may, I'm going to defer to the applicant. There is a couple of conditions in that staff report that they do not like and are asking to -- to be modified and I will pull up the e-mail directed from the applicants so you can see what she's requesting and, then, I will -- if you like, Madam Mayor, the project is south of Ustick Road. It is the Blakeslee Subdivision. This is the first final plat for that subdivision. This project is somewhat narrower homes. I can go through it, I guess -- you can see those -- basically what these conditions are. Typically we have a condition that all common lots be fenced. The applicant is requesting that because of the nature of the development being 55 and older, they like the open feel. There is a large common lot within that subdivision that fronts on the majority of the homes. It's very central. Their thought is that they would like to keep that open. Staff has suggested to the applicant that there is the option for alternative compliance to the fencing code, which would potentially allow them to keep some of that open. It doesn't necessarily need to be presented tonight as an alternative compliance, that's an administrative application. Their concern was that -- that not being part of the condition as crafted by staff wanting to make sure that was still on the table and so I believe their request tonight on that specific -- which would be condition number six there with the B, meet this section of code, 11-3-A7A7, or seek alternative compliance or seek approval of alternative compliance from staff. The other condition is number 19, which is a condition of the Public Works Department. There was a typo in that condition that listed lot 23, instead of lot 2-3. It was caught by the applicant. They were just hoping for that minor change there. Having said that, they have been in communication with the Public Works Department and that easement that is being called out is no longer being required by the Public Works Department, they found another way to serve or achieve their goal there and you can ask -- Warren Stewart here can clarify that if you have any questions, but those are the two conditions this evening that the applicant has requested to be modified. And stand for any questions you have. De Weerd: Thank you, Josh. Council, any questions? Okay. Is the applicant here? Would you like to make any comment? You have to comment at the podium on the record. If you will, please, state your name and address for the record. Walsh: Madam Mayor and Council, I'm Pam Walsh. Would you like my address? De Weerd: Yes, please. Walsh: 2218 West Woodlawn Avenue, Boise, Idaho. De Weerd: Thank you. Walsh: As I have stated in -- and I don't know if you have the plat pulled up and are familiar with it, but this is a 55 plus community, so our objective was to bring the community together, have open space that they can mingle, socialize, walk through, you know, have their -- their dogs together there and so we have no issue with fencing off the Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 23 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 18 of 101 micro paths on both ends of the park as you enter it, but the homes actually -- the backyards, which are only 12 feet wide, back up to that park area. So, our desire was to keep that open, so that as adult -- adults, they would have real ready access to use that park. The other issues we had are there are some real small sliver lots that are common lots that are adjacent to homes. There is Lot 2, Block 3, and Lot 2, Block 4, that we would like to keep open to the home that's next to it, rather than fence that off from that home and they will be landscaped, but it would be nice to just have that property flow. The plat -- because of the size of the lots, it's a little tight, you know, as -- as it is, which is what the 55 community desires in this lock and leave lifestyle of having everything taken care of, so that's where we would like to go with an alternative compliance to the planning staff and present that. We have some neighborhoods that are in Pacific Northwest that fit that kind of neo urban or urban design that they have implemented this kind of design, not only in the active adult communities, but in a lot of their in-fill communities where things are very open for neighbors to meet and mingle versus drive in their garages and not see one another. De Weerd: Thank you. So, will these be individually owned or -- Walsh: They are all individually owned. De Weerd: So, if the owner goes in there and wants to put up a fence -- Walsh: It would be in our CC&Rs that they could not. De Weerd: Okay. Council, any questions? Cavener: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Cavener. Cavener: Is it anticipated this is a -- one of those communities where the -- the landscape is all maintained? Walsh: Yes. The homeowners association will maintain all the landscape on the individual homes. We will do all the planting as we build the homes. Cavener: Front and back? Walsh: Front and back. Uh-huh. So, all the common space and the -- the property side yards, everything will be maintained by the homeowners association. De Weerd: Awesome. Mr. Bernt. Bernt: Madam Mayor. One question. The applicant -- just to confirm -- are these roads going to be private or public? Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 24 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 19 of 101 Walsh: The roads around the -- the main perimeter are public. The only roads that are common drives are the ones that are down in the southern portion of the plat. You can see there is one, two, three, four, five drives that are common drives. So, those are private. And those are alley load homes. So, those will be fenced. They actually come out their front door and greet their neighbor 24 feet apart or 20 feet apart. Bernt: Madam Mayor, follow up. And those will be maintained by the homeowners or by the HOA? Walsh: By the HOA as well. Uh-huh. De Weerd: Any other questions? Thank you very much. Walsh: Thank you. We look forward to building out a new, beautiful 55 community for Meridian. De Weerd: Thank you. Josh, anything further? Beach: No, Madam Mayor. Borton: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Borton. Borton: Josh, are you supportive of that -- that request? Beach: I am. I think, you know, with the -- the insight that it is a 55 and older community, the landscape is all going to be maintained by the HOA and I think that -- that's not typically what we -- what we do, but there -- I don't see a large concern with -- with the type of community that it's going to be. De Weerd: Yeah. It certainly seems if it's maintained by the HOA it would be consistent and you're not putting obstacles in the way as well. Okay. If there is no further questions or comments, I would entertain a motion on this item. Borton: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Borton. Borton: I move that we approve Item 9-A, H-2017-0164 to include the alternative compliance on the fencing as requested by the applicant. Bernt: Second. De Weerd: I have a motion and a second to approve Item 9-A. If there is no discussion -- yes, Josh. Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 25 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 20 of 101 Beach: Madam Mayor, there was the other condition in there as well to eliminate the condition that they have a public utility easement being created between Lots 2, 3 and 4 and 5, Block 4. So, I just wanted to make sure that -- to include that or to eliminate that condition if that's your desire. Borton: Thank you, Josh. Include that in the motion. De Weerd: Okay. Mr. Clerk, will you, please, call roll. Roll call: Borton, yea; Milam, absent; Cavener, yea; Palmer, yea; Little Roberts, absent; Bernt, yea. De Weerd: All ayes. MOTION CARRIED: FOUR AYES. TWO ABSENT. B. Public Hearing Continued from January 23, 2018 for Pond Subdivision Shop - VAR (H-2017-0169) by Schultz Development located at 2980 N. Meridian Road 1. Request: Variance to UDC Section 11-2A-6 to keep an existing accessory structure in a required front yard setback C. Public Hearing for Winco Wells Subdivision (H-2017-0153) by Dan Zimmerman, TAIT and Associates, Located at 2600 East Overland Road 1. Request: Preliminary Plat consisting of 7 building lots on 18.75 acres of land in the C-G zoning district De Weerd: Thank you. And thank you. Item 9-B and C, the applicant has requested to withdraw the application. Josh, can you discuss this? Beach: Happily, Madam Mayor. The Pond Subdivision that was before you a few weeks ago, a discussion about an accessory structure that was in this -- the front yard, we have -- working with the applicant to come up with a different solution for that, so they don't have to apply for a variance. They are going to do a property boundary adjustment to meet the setback requirements. So, they have opted to withdraw their variance application. The second one, 9-C, is the Winco Wells Subdivision. They have asked to withdraw. We have not actually received a good response as to the reason for that withdrawal of the application. So, I'm not really able to answer that or a reason for that request. A representative is in the house if you want to ask them directly. De Weerd: Sure. Where is -- oh. Here we go. Thank you. If you will, please, state your name and address for the record.

De Weerd: Thank you. Zimmerman: Unfortunately, I have -- I have been directed not to comment on this, so -- De Weerd: Okay. Zimmerman: -- sorry, but I can't provide any more information. De Weerd: Well, we appreciate you being here tonight to tell us that. Zimmerman: All right. Thank you. De Weerd: Okay. Council, I will need a motion to -- on this withdrawal. Borton: On each? De Weerd: Yes. Borton: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Borton. Borton: Move that we accept or approve the withdraw of the application H-2017-0169. Bernt: Second. De Weerd: I have a motion and a second to approve the withdrawal of -- of the application for a variance. Mr. Clerk, will you call roll. Roll call: Borton, yea; Milam, absent; Cavener, yea; Palmer, yea; Little Roberts, absent; Bernt, yea. De Weerd: All ayes. MOTION CARRIED: FOUR AYES. TWO ABSENT. De Weerd: And on 8 -- on 8-C as well.

Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 27 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 22 of 101 Borton: Move on this as well to accept and approve the request to withdraw the application H-2017-0153. Bernt: Second. De Weerd: I have a motion and a second. Any discussion? Mr. Clerk. Roll call: Borton, yea; Milam, absent; Cavener, yea; Palmer, yea; Little Roberts, absent; Bernt, yea.

Request: Annexation and Zoning of 5 Acres of Land with a C-C Zoning District De Weerd: Okay. Item 9-D is a public hearing for H-2017-0095. This is -- I have opened this public hearing. There is a request to be rescheduled to February of -- February 27th. This one, as well as the next one, which are unrelated, but I think this was a posting error. So, it -- it has to be continued. Coles: That's correct, Madam Mayor. If I may chime in here. Items 9-D and E, there was an issue with the radius notice that is required in our code to send our radius notice to property owners within 300 feet of the subject property. That did not occur on these two projects. We found that out on Friday or we did the investigation and figured out -- we couldn't confirm that it happened, so for that reason these two items -- and Mr. Nary can chime in as well -- need to be rescheduled to that date. I have been in contact with both the applicants, explained the situation, and have confirmation that they understand what happened and to move forward with the February 27th date. De Weerd: Okay. Mr. Nary, do you need to add anything? Nary: Just, Madam Mayor, for the record, it will be renoticed, so they are not continued public hearings, they will be renoticed to a new date. De Weerd: So, they will be new public hearings. Nary: Yes. Palmer: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Palmer. Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 28 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 23 of 101 Palmer: So, this was our mess up? Coles: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, Council Member Palmer, correct, it was -- we failed in the clerk's office to send out the notices for these two projects. De Weerd: Okay. Well, our apologies to anyone who might be here for this public hearing, as well to the applicant. We will hear this on the 27th. And I wish I could say we would still take your testimony, but we can't. So, it's -- yes. E. Public Hearing for Harper Ridge Subdivision (H-2017-0151) by McMaster Limited Partnership, Located at 3885 E Copper Point Drive 1. Conditional Use Permit Consisting of 124 Multi-Family Dwelling Units on Approximately 10.68 Acres in an Existing C-G Zoning District 2. Preliminary Plat Approval Consisting of 16 Multi-Family Building Lots, 4 Common Lots and 2 Other Lots on 10.68 Acres in and Existing C-G Zoning District De Weerd: Same with Item 9-E then. And we don't need any motion, because they are not real. Okay. F. Public Hearing for Caven Ridge Estates West (H-2017-0156) ) by New Cavanaugh, LLC, Located on the East Side of South Meridian Road, South of East Victory Road 1. Preliminary Plat Consisting of 67 Building Lots and 9 Common Lots on 14.42 Acres of Land in the R-8 Zoning District 2. Amendment to the Development Agreement to Modify the Conceptual Development Plan to Include More Building Lots for the Development of Patio Homes on the Portion of the Site West of South Standing Timber Way De Weerd: Okay. Item 9-F is a public hearing for H-2017-0156. I will open this public hearing with staff comments, Beach: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, this application before you tonight -- I will say originally was for a rezone for a preliminary plat and for a development agreement modification. The applicant has withdrawn the application -- the application for a rezone. So, the site consists of 14.42 acres of land, which is, again, zoned R-8, located on the east side of South Meridian Road, south of Victory Road. This property was originally Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 29 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 24 of 101 annexed in 2006 and included in a preliminary plat that has since expired. The Comprehensive Plan future land use map designation for the property is medium density residential, which is three to eight -- approximately three to eight dwelling units per acre. The applicant requests Council approval of an amendment to the existing development agreement to include an updated conceptual development plan, which includes 20 -- 20 more building lots with -- than were previously proposed. A preliminary plat is proposed that consists of 67 building lots for single family residential detached homes, nine common lots on the 14.42 acres of land. The minimum lot size is 4.4 -- excuse me -- 4,448 square feet, with an average lot size of 5,713 square feet. The subdivision is proposed to develop in four phases. Since the Commission hearing the applicant has submitted a revised plat in accord with the Commission's recommendation that depicts reduced lot depths for Lots 35 and 36, Block 1, to allow for a wider street buffer along South Meridian Road and to accommodate the walls required for noise abatement adjacent to state highway and the existing driveway via State Highway 69 that is proposed to be used for emergency access. Two of the micro lots were also relocated to provide better pedestrian connectivity. Access is proposed via a local street from South Standing Timber Way. A direct lot access to Standing Timber and South Meridian Road are prohibited, except for emergency access. A 35 foot wide landscape buffer is required along South Meridian Road, which is considered an entryway corridor. Segments of the city's regional pathway system are required within the street buffer along South Meridian Road and along the north boundary of the site adjacent to the Ridenbaugh Canal. There is an existing segment of the multi-use pathway on the adjacent property to the north along Meridian Road, but there is an approximate 40 foot long section that is missing. The Commission recommends, as a provision of the DA, that the applicant construct this off-site improvement with this development, if allowed by ITD through a license agreement. A total of ten percent or 1.45 acres of qualified open space and site amenities consisting of two segments of the city's multi-use -- multi-use pathway system and internal pathways are proposed in accord with UDC standards. The development will also be allowed to use the amenities in the Caven Ridge East project, to the east of the site. Commission recommendation were approval with conditions. Summary of the Commission public hearing were Wendy Shrief and Brady Lasher in favor. There were none in opposition. Did not receive any comments. Did not receive any written testimony. And there were no key issues of discussion, aside from those previously mentioned by the Commission. Issue discussion by the Commission were consideration of the applicant's request to not be required to construct a sound attenuation wall adjacent to the common area a Lot 27, Block 1, along Meridian Road. The applicants request for a reason solely for the allowance of reduced side yard setbacks from five feet to three feet and concern regarding homes being so close together. Commission changes to the staff's recommendation were the Commission approved the applicant's request to withdraw the rezone application. The applicant's request the Commission recommends a change to the staff recommended DA provision that requires the off-site extension of the multi- use pathway along South Meridian Road to include a language with approval of the adjacent property owner or ITD as applicable. There are no outstanding issues for City Council. I did not receive any written testimony since the Commission hearing and with that I will stand for any -- any questions you may have. Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 30 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 25 of 101 De Weerd: Thank you. Council, any questions at this time? Borton: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Borton. Borton: A couple of quick ones. The first one, I -- there is not a scenario where you ever do an off-site improvement without the permission of the property owner. Isn't that a condition in any off-site improvement? Beach: I think in this case it's -- it's an ITD right of way. Borton: Right. Beach: And we typically just have them get a license agreement to -- to construct that pathway from -- from ITD and -- because we already have a pathway in there I don't see a large issue with them granting that -- that easement. You can have it be -- Borton: Right. Beach: -- based on their approval, instead of it being -- being required or work with them to achieve this. Borton: Madam Mayor? One other question. With the addition of the lots, the number of lots is still permitted within the R-8 zone. The side yard setback is really the driving force to try to go R-15, but it's not necessary? Beach: Correct. I believe the discussion from the Planning and Zoning Commission where they were uncomfortable with the R-15 just for the fact that they wanted the -- the narrower side yard setback of three feet versus the five. Borton: Madam Mayor. So, it's staying compliant with the R-8 standards that already existed on this annexed property in the five yard -- five foot side yard setbacks? Okay. Cavener: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Cavener. Cavener: Josh, one of the key issues of the Commission was the applicant's request not to be required to construct the sound wall. I didn't see if there was any resolution to that request from the Planning and Zoning Commission. Can you educate me where the Commission landed on that? Beach: I wish I could better. I'm covering for Sonya this evening. So, it looks like the language here -- the Commission changes to staff recommendations are that -- I apologize. That's for the -- the multi-use pathway. I don't know where they landed on Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 31 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 26 of 101 that. Typically that's something that we want to know. There is a common lot there, instead of a residential lot, but our code requires that there be a residential zone, that there be a sound wall. So, I think the -- without knowing exactly where the Commission ended on that, that's where -- obviously, that's where staff -- staff fell in a recommendation. Cavener: Thanks. De Weerd: Okay. Anything further at this point? Is the applicant here? Good evening. If you, please, state your name and address for the record. Shrief: Good evening. Wendy Shrief with JUB Engineers and my business address is 250 Beechwood Avenue in Boise, Idaho. 83709. De Weerd: Thank you. Shrief: Thank you. It's good to be here with you this evening. We are in full agreement with the staff report and staff -- and we worked primarily with Sonya Allen. They have really helped us to shape the project. I think we have a better project here this evening after working with your planning staff. We are in agreement with -- with the recommendations that were made by Planning and Zoning Commission. We debated and -- whether to extend the sound attenuation wall across a common lot that was not directly next to residential. We agreed it was -- basically it's in your code, so we have agreed to go ahead and put that sound attenuation wall in along that common lot. We also discussed that off-site improvement with extending that pathway and -- and we asked for there to be -- for it to be noted that if -- if we were able to obtain permission for that right of way, because that was our primary concern it was not -- the extension of the pathway that is being able to obtain that easement for -- for that pathway extension. But we are -- we are in agreement with that condition. We are here with -- with what's a relatively straightforward subdivision. We have already been annexed in the City of Meridian. We have R-8 zoning. What we are proposing is in full compliance with -- with the R-8 zone. This is going to be a nice, upscale subdivision. We have kind of a mix of lot sizes. Some of our lots -- it's different from what was originally part of the concept plan for this area. We are going to be putting in some patio homes and we have some examples of a couple builders who have done patio homes in Meridian and what those homes will look like and will be in compliance with those submitted elevations for those buildings. We are proposing 67 building lots on 15.68 acres. So, we are in full compliance with the code. We are asking to modify the development agreement to allow us to do this type of different -- this different home type. We think it's -- especially in the south Meridian area, it will be nice to have that difference of housing types in that south Meridian area where it's primarily single family, larger lot, larger family homes. So, these will be kind of an alternative with upscale homes. One of them single story, smaller footprint. So, that was sort of the -- the reasoning behind that request. We have worked closely with staff to -- we basically worked through all of our conditions. We don't have any additional requests for you here this evening, but I'm here for any questions. Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 32 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 27 of 101 De Weerd: Council, any questions? We see the elevations. Shrief: And they are in the back of the staff report. I think we have submitted a number of them. So, these are all elevations from local builders who specialize in -- some of these, when we were originally going to ask for the R-15 zoning with the reduced setback, were builders especially from small lots, that these are some of the single story we are proposing a variety of housing types and styles. De Weerd: Okay. Thank you. Shrief: Thank you very much. De Weerd: This is a public hearing and so, Mr. Clerk, do we have sign-ups? Coles: Thank you, Madam Mayor. We had one additional sign-up this evening. Steven Yearsley, against, wishing to testify. De Weerd: Good evening. If you will state your name and address for the record. Yearsley: Good evening, Mayor and Council. Steven Yearsley. I live at 2961 East Lucca in Meridian. It's kind of -- it might seem counterproductive that I actually approved the subdivision and, then, come and actually say I'm against the application. When we met with the City Council -- or Planning and Zoning, we had to approve this, because it met all the conditions and rules of an R-8 zoning. However, in the DA agreement, if I remember right, the property is set to a number of lots per the DA agreement. This subdivision sits adjacent to the canal above Red Feather. So, it is actually a view corridor for people coming -- leaving Meridian. It is going to be very visible to people to see and having those lots so close together, having the offset being so close, that I don't think it's going to look very -- very pretty for people driving down Meridian Road. I like the small -- there is the bigger lot sizes. The lots that were initially platted the way it was platted, I think that's the way we should leave it and so I formally request that you deny the -- the DA modifications to allow the increased lots. And, then, regarding the -- the -- the -- or the fence along the Meridian Road, we recommended that that be extended to the property line to the end, so we had that. So, if you have any questions I would be happy to answer those. De Weerd: Thank you. Council, any questions? Yearsley: Thank you. De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. This is a public hearing. Is there any further testimony? Okay. Council? Oh, does the applicant have any closing remarks -- yes. Sorry. Shrief: Mayor and Council Members, in rebuttal I would just -- De Weerd: If you will just state your name again for the record. Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 33 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 28 of 101 Shrief: Wendy Shrief with JUB Engineers. De Weerd: Thank you. Shrief: I guess in rebuttal we -- the request we have before you is fully compliant with -- with the R-8 zoning district. We have -- we have already been annexed into the City of Meridian. This is a development which had some earlier subdivision plats that have been approved and there was a concept plan where I believe -- and it's too bad Sonya is not here this evening -- that concept did not actually specify the number of lots. Sonya went through and counted lots on that -- on that concept plan. So, there was not an explicit number of lots that were approved by Council when -- when that concept plan was approved with the previous addition of the plat. So, we -- just to be on the safe side did -- did submit the development agreement modification to put a new -- have a new concept plan attached as a part of that development agreement, but we -- we are fully compliant with -- with the zoning district R-8 and with your Comprehensive Plan and we think that we are bringing up a different, better product and something that's needed in south Meridian to have that diversity of housing types. But we -- we are doing standard R-8 residential lots in this area. De Weerd: Okay. Bernt: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Bernt. Bernt: So, thanks for coming this evening. Thanks for your presentation. Shrief: You're welcome. Bernt: One question. Would you agree that you're adding more lots to -- compared to what was in the original development agreement? Shrief: Correct. In the -- Mayor and Council Members, in the original development agreement there was a concept plan attached to the development agreement and that concept plan had fewer lots than what we are proposing. So, yes, we are. Bernt: Would you -- so, right around plus 40'ish lots? Shrief: We -- there is an increase of 20 lots from the previous concept plan. And there was that -- there is an original plat -- it was Cavanaugh Subdivision with a different developer, different project. That was the original concept plan and I believe that was further amended with -- with Cavanaugh Ridge. So, we are coming in with a new concept plan to attach to that development agreement. Bernt: Thank you for that clarification. Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 34 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 29 of 101 De Weerd: Yeah. I don't understand that explanation. It says that the preliminary plat expired. So, there was a preliminary plat. There wasn't a concept plan, there was an actual plat; is that correct? Beach: Madam Mayor, my understanding is that there is -- yes, there was a plat. Typically what we do is we tie the plat to the development agreement. So, you're right, it was a concept plan, but it would also have been -- if the plat expired it would have been -- de facto becomes a concept plan in the development agreement. But, yes, it's indicated by the staff report there were 47 lots approved for that plat and they are asking for 67. De Weerd: Any other questions for the applicant? Thank you. Bernt: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Bernt. Bernt: I move that we close the public hearing for H-2017-0156. Palmer: Second. De Weerd: I have a motion and a second to close the public hearing on Item 9-F. All in favor say aye. Okay. All ayes. MOTION CARRIED: FOUR AYES. TWO ABSENT. Bernt: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Bernt. Bernt: I guess I will just start off with my thoughts and opinions on this -- on this application. I believe that this is an area of our city where, you know, there is actual view lots and -- and because of that I think that we need to protect the view lots in this particular area. Because of that I am against amending the development agreement to include an updated conceptual development plan, which includes 20 more building lots. I just don't think that's a prudent decision for this area of town and that's where I stand with my opinion on it. Palmer: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Palmer. Palmer: Madam Mayor -- and while we are talking, maybe we could go back to the before and after and I have got a question for Councilman Bernt. When you say view lots, do you mean do you have a view from the lot or a view of the lot? Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 35 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 30 of 101 Bernt: It's -- it's situated -- in my opinion I believe that it's in an area where it's elevated and so I believe that the least amount of density possible in that area. So, I'm in full agreement of -- of the original plat that was -- that was agreed upon originally, the development agreement originally, I just don't want to add to it. I don't think we need to. I don't think it -- I completely agree with Commissioner Yearsley's explanation of why. Palmer: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Palmer. Palmer: I'm trying to find the lots. Where were they added to? Are they just skinnier? De Weerd: Do you have the previous -- this is the previous. Do you have the current? Palmer: There we go. Beach: Madam Mayor, if it helps I'm happy to pull up a Google Earth shot, so you can kind of see what the topography looks like. De Weerd: That would be great. Beach: So, this is looking north on Meridian Road. The project is in this area. I'm not sure what orientation you'd like to get to so you can see -- De Weerd: Can you still -- can you continue to move it to the left? Okay. So, that's in the area where the house -- the existing house was? The home was? The Cavanaugh home? Beach: So, it's back over this way. Correct. De Weerd: Okay. Beach: So, away from Meridian Road. De Weerd: Okay. Can you now show the -- the lots again? Beach: Absolutely. Palmer: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Palmer. Palmer: I struggle to see what view would be lost by the additional lots or preserved. I live just upstream from this and -- I mean it's the flat area at the bottom of the ridge. That's where all the -- I believe where all this is. Because that noticeable incline is south of the proposed area, I believe. Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 36 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 31 of 101 De Weerd: I'm sorry. Sorry -- I'm sorry. We can't accept -- Palmer: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Yes. Palmer: It definitely goes uphill, but it's -- I'm -- it's not a -- in my opinion, noticeable enough to incline until further south of this property where it really does go up there, that the Meridian Road adjoining streets -- there is no view of anything that isn't already above ground. De Weerd: Josh, in that area that says phasing plan, those are the apartments? Beach: That is correct, Madam Mayor. De Weerd: So, the apartments pretty much block at least the area along the canal or this linear thing and, then, it's really this view shed of these larger lots that -- that do have certainly -- I think in 2006 when this plat was done, R-8 had different dimensional standards than it does now, so, you know, it's really hard to say this fits the vision then, because it doesn't. The vision then -- an R-8 was -- if I remember correctly, it was a much bigger lot size and had different setbacks as well. Beach: Correct, Madam Mayor. We -- if you remember just about year, year and a half ago, we changed these standards again for the lot sizes and they got even smaller. So, you're correct. De Weerd: Yeah. So, to say it fits the vision is kind of a stretch. Palmer: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Palmer. Palmer: If we didn't want to allow for differing from that vision why did we change it? De Weerd: Well, I'm just telling you what it was then and that's a decision that this Council makes, but the -- I don't know if the changing of those dimensional standards were to go retroactively back to every plat that hadn't been final platted, so that's the only response I can share. Palmer: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Palmer. Palmer: I mean looking at the design change, one, it's -- adding the additional lots is not going to take away anyone's view of anything and in fact -- I mean looking at it, especially Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 37 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 32 of 101 those ones close to Meridian Road, it lines them up more, as opposed to just kind of having them all squampus directions. If anything, if somebody wanted to look between them, it's something -- they have a better chance if they are proposed than the existing. I mean it's zoned for it. You know, there is not big mansions going in here in either plan. It's consistent with what's there. In fact, it's better. I mean I live in CBH. Those look better than what's connected to the east. Higher quality. Looks like a better development to me. I don't see any reason why there is a lot of argument against it. It looks like it should be a simple one here. Bernt: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Bernt. Bernt: I respectfully disagree with Councilman Palmer. I think that adding 20 lots to this already jammed packed -- you know, I think that it -- it completely changes the look of the -- of the development. I mean just -- just looking at it myself, I mean we are not here today to decide whether or not what the existing -- or what the prior plat needed to look like, what we are here discussing is if we are going to allow 20 more lots and in my opinion 20 more lots is just too much for this -- for this area. I think it's just too dense. What they choose to do in the future, if this is -- you know, if this is denied or if this is approved, I don't know, but if it is denied what they -- if they have to go back to the drawing table and come up with something else, then, that would be a different design plan. Palmer: Madam Mayor De Weerd: Mr. Palmer. Palmer: Madam Mayor. Mr. Nary, how does this work when it comes to entitlements under the -- is it because it's different than what was agreed on in the development agreement that we can say, heck, no, we won't go? Or what -- what do we have to make this decision here? De Weerd: Mr. Nary. Nary: Yes. Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, Council Member Palmer, so a development agreement is merely a contract between the city and the developer as to what they agreed to build on that site. It is not required of the city to agree to a change and the finding you simply need to make is it's not in the best interest of the city, it's not consistent with what you have previously approved and they haven't presented enough evidence to you to make the change agreeable. So, I mean it really is a discretionary call on the part of this Council on whether or not it is either consistent with your vision that you had in the original development agreement or that the change isn't consistent with what you envisioned for that area and, therefore, they don't have a right to change the development agreement for that purpose, so -- Palmer: Madam Mayor? Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 38 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 33 of 101 De Weerd: Mr. Palmer. Palmer: Madam Mayor. Mr. Nary, would you say that this is -- this change would, then, make it inconsistent with what we have approved in the area? Nary: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I mean ultimately that's your -- your call, not -- not mine. But I mean it really is -- this is a challenging area. The Tanana Valley that was originally approved 12, 13 years ago was a large development, almost 700 homes, and this is now pieces and parts of it over time. So, it really is -- it is incumbent on this Council to decide yourselves based on today's factors and what's in front of you today on whether this is consistent or inconsistent, because, again, it's changed so greatly over this time period of what was envisioned originally, you really have to look at kind of relative to what's there today and whether you believe it is consistent with what's existing, not necessarily consistent with what was previously approved. Palmer: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Palmer. Palmer: Madam Mayor. Then, Council, is this consistent with what we have approved in the area? I think if anything is inconsistent in that it's not dense enough. Plenty more dense around it. So, we have to justify the findings that it's not in the best interest of the city being that it's not consistent with what we have approved in the area. De Weerd: Well, no, not really. They have an entitlement right now and that entitlement is defined in the development agreement and it's for a certain number of lots. That's why they are in front of you today is to propose a new preliminary plan with an increased number of lots. So, really, the -- the preliminary plat, even though it had expired, the development agreement allows for a certain number of lots and a certain zone that at the time considered larger lots than is defined today. So, it fits the vision of the city at that time and the owners of the property in that area if they were to ask what was approved in this area that is what they would have seen. Palmer: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Palmer. Palmer: To argue with you a little bit, I think that if they were -- they would have to ask whether they are adding 20 lots or a hundred lots. If they were adding a hundred lots, then, our job is easier to say, no, that is not consistent with what we have approved in the area. But whether it's one lot or 20 lots or a hundred lots, they have to ask the question and we have to make a decision and at 20 lots it is consistent. It is reasonable. Annex the property. De Weerd: And that is your decision. Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 39 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 34 of 101 Borton: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Borton. Borton: If memory serves, I think I was on Council when this was approved originally. I think that original plat back in '06 was appropriate, because it was designed as part of that annexation and that concept and those restrictions placed on the development agreement captured the benefit to the city specifically and I think those characteristics and those benefits remain today. So, in light of the magnitude of the requested change, I'm not supportive of it. Cavener: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Cavener. Cavener: For right or wrong, when our public comes and provides testimony, it's always beneficial. You have -- I don't know if you're chairman anymore, but a former chairman of the Planning and Zoning Commission comes to speak out your ears perk up maybe a little more. I appreciate Commissioner Yearsley's comments about protecting the view and it definitely caused me to perk up and take a look at that. Is -- is that worthy of consideration. I live around that area as well. You inevitably take notice about what growth may or may not look around your neighborhood and this is an area that I have always looked at to wonder what it inevitably would be and -- and I struggle to say, oh, that's -- that's an area that has a view for travelers leaving town that we need to protect and I'm struggling to wrap my head around that, because, frankly, as I leave town to drive to Kuna I see homes on top of the ridge already and when I look to the west I see an established neighborhood and I think that we as a community talk a lot about transition and I think that this use is an appropriate use of transition to go from -- in some -- some larger lots, more traditional single family homes to the east and, then, you have the multi- family to the north. So, appreciate Commissioner Yearsley's feedback and perspective. To me I don't see the -- the warrants, though, changing the plan that is before us here tonight. But I see that the applicant's here. So, Madam Mayor, if we are willing -- Shrief: I would request to be able to -- De Weerd: I'm sorry, the public hearing is closed. The Council can open it up if they want to accept additional testimony, not just from the applicant, it would be open for all comments. Palmer: Madam Mayor, given that -- at least we did have somebody in the audience to, I move we reopen the public hearing on this item. Cavener: Second. Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 40 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 35 of 101 De Weerd: I have a motion and a second to reopen the public hearing. All those in favor say aye. Okay. All ayes. MOTION CARRIED: FOUR AYES. TWO ABSENT. De Weerd: Okay. If -- so, you're the applicant. I do want to see, first, if there is any public testimony and, then, I will ask, because you always have the last word. Okay. Is there anyone who wishes -- state your name and address for the record. Good evening. If you will, please, state your name and address for the record. Reynolds: It's Sally Reynolds. I live at 1166 West Bacall Street in Meridian. De Weerd: Thank you. Reynolds: Sure. And so I don't live around this area, I'm north Meridian, but I just wanted to say I do agree with the sentiments and the logic that Commissioner Bernt has put forward as far as when -- when residents and when the city see one concept plan, just like Madam Mayor was saying, that is the concept plan and there is an intent and there is a certain expectation that goes along with that and I understand, I am a real estate agent, I understand how lot development works. I understand how things pencil. I understand, you know, that is how they make their living. But at the end of the day these are real people moving into real homes and they do want yards. They really want some space for their families to spread out and while I know that it is more lots, it's not necessarily a higher standard of living, I guess. The only thing that I can say for the people who eventually live there, there will be more cars, you know, 40 more cars. There will be more children in the schools and I know that that's things that this Council has heard over and over again. So, I would just like to remind, you know, Council of that and also say that in my mind 40 -- or 20 -- going from 47 to 67 amounts to a 50 percent increase. So, percentagewise that is a pretty large increase to be asking for this small of an area. Thank you. De Weerd: Thank you. Reynolds: Stand for questions. De Weerd: Thank you. Any other testimony? Good evening. If you will, please, state your name and address for the record. Shelton: Andrea Shelton. 2498 East Cyanite, Meridian. De Weerd: Thank you. Shelton: I loved the first plat. I think it's wonderful. There is room for a pool. There is bigger lots and that canal that goes through there is beautiful in the summer and it is raised above. You can see the apartments on the northwest corner of Victory and Meridian and they will overlook that. They will be above that. So, that they can actually Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 41 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 36 of 101 see the mountains and the view. Please don't squish more houses in there. It's beautiful the way it is, so -- De Weerd: Thank you. Bernt: Now you can talk. Karnes: Thank you. Sam Karnes. 5556 South Graphite Way, Meridian. De Weerd: Thank you. Karnes: I won't talk about anything you talked about, obviously, since I left the room, but, yeah, those -- they have a view there. It's pretty obvious from the picture. That's what I was responding to. I have to drive home that way every day, because the traffic is so bad on Overland when I get out of the Axiom gym I can't make a left there. So, I go down Meridian and, yes, it goes uphill and, you know, in fact, there is a beautiful old house, which I believe was built in like the '50s or '60s, that's now being surrounded by development, but it's -- I believe it's in that clear spot right in the middle right there and, yeah, that's why they built it there. It has a beautiful view. Anyway, that's all I wanted to say. Yeah, there is a view and I appreciate your being concerned with that, Councilman. De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. Council -- usually we don't have someone return up to testify, but with your permission after this gentleman we can ask Mr. Yearsley back up. I will ask you at that time. If you will, please, state your name and address for the record. Minert: Ryan Minert. 2859 South Andros, Meridian. 83642. And I'm the applicant and I think there is some misconceptions. This is in a hole. It's down very low. It does not start going up the hill until we hit the next property owner, who is not part of our plat. So, we are -- we don't have views. And it's very similar to what these apartments are. There is a need for patio style homes. I know that it was said that, you know, there is -- we are squishing them in -- homeowners won't want that. W ell, there is a need. There is a market for it. There is people that don't want to take care of big yards and so that's the market that we are going to try to hit. We are not hitting. We do have -- and I do have the property on the other side, Caven East. That's where we have bigger homes, we have a pool, we have big common areas, that's where those buyers theoretically will be going. You know, this just serves a different market. So, I just wanted to basically clear up maybe some misconceptions and we are really not going up the hill. The home is in that -- the home they were referring to, the Cavanaugh home, is in that -- by the blue -- between the purple and the blue there and that's being fixed up and will be sold as a home. That's the highest part. But we are certainly nowhere near that. It climbs significantly once you leave our property. So, anyway, thanks. De Weerd: Appreciate the clarification there. Bernt: Madam Mayor, I have got a question for the -- Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 42 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 37 of 101 De Weerd: Sir. Bernt: Sorry. No. You're fine. What's the next phase? What's the other property you own? Minert: It's Caven East. It was approved a while ago. Bernt: Did you say phase one? Is that what you're talking about? Minert: Phase one and all the colored area. That's Caven East. Phase one is already developed. Phase two includes -- and I don't have a way to point on here. Bernt: They can point for you. Minert: Phase two includes phase two east and phase one east. Phase two east goes up the hill and we have got really big lots there right next to a park. Bernt: Do you own phase one where it says center? Minert: Yes. Bernt: Okay. And what type -- is that going to be similar -- Minert: That is already being built and there is, you know, 10,000 square foot lots, you know, I mean they are pretty good size. Two different types. We have view lots on the upper tier. That's Palermo. You can't really see it on -- I don't know if you can point to it. The upper street has bigger view lots and, then, what I call our standard lots are down below, but those are where families are coming and we are building a three acre park. You know, that's what we are marketing to, you know, families to move in there and the other side is geared more towards empty nesters, you know, patio home style. But to hear that we are blocking views -- if you're standing on the property that's really not the case, so -- De Weerd: And I don't know if it was the view thing or not. At least not for me. But it is -- the change is pretty excessive in terms of the number of lots and, yeah, I -- the views getting hidden behind the apartments were not one of those things for me, but the dramatic increase in the number of lots certainly was and I appreciated the elevations and your further explanation of where this really lies on that piece of property. Mr. Yearsley. I'm sorry. Where? Oh, I'm sorry. Come on -- good evening. Webb: Good evening. My name is Wendy Webb and my address is 2299 East Lodge Trail Drive. I used to jog along that path, so I know it really, really well. It is flat in the area where they are planning on building there. My concern is about developing sustainable neighborhoods and in my research sustainable neighborhoods have a lot of green space. So, when I think about adding so many more homes in there, I feel like we will lose a lot of green space and 20 years down the road I want this neighborhood to be Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 43 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 38 of 101 safe to jog through. I want sustainable neighborhoods of green space. That's what I want as a resident of the community. To me that means if you put in a patio home that you add a lot more common area that's green space to make up for the setbacks between the homes and so it concerns me that we are not adding a lot more green space to compensate for the amount of residents that will be in that area. That's my concern. De Weerd: Thank you. Webb: Thank you. Yearsley: Madam Mayor and Council, Steven Yearsley at 2961 East Lucca, Meridian. I was a little nervous and which is kind of surprising, but I was kind of nervous talking to you before. In the comprehensive code we changed recently talking about the southern rim and trying to preserve open space, trying to view -- preserve openness for people to see, not people looking from their lot out, for us looking at the lots. If you look at that, there is a canal that runs just behind the apartments. That canal sits ten to 15 feet higher than all the other ground around that. So, that is the southern rim. This property is considered the southern rim and that's where I -- I have my heartburn is you look down Eagle -- you look right down Victory Road, you look up, you see those homes above the canal and so what we are going to see with those 20 additional lots is a sea of homes instead of having space in between those homes. That's where I come -- that's where I have my heartburn with this lot. If this was down on the lower side of that canal, in the -- in the flat area where you couldn't see it, I wouldn't have any heartburn with it at all. But where we are looking up at it and driving down that road, is that something that we want to look at day in, day out, a sea of homes, without much change, much differences, with very little lots, very little room between the homes? We -- we approved Sobie, which is right next to my subdivision and that's the way it is. You have large two story homes with five feet on either side and they are -- all it is -- all you do is see homes. You don't see any differences and so that's where I -- I'm concerned about is in the future looking up at that, you know, and seeing that view and I don't believe that that's what we want our city to look like. So, thank you. Shrief: Mayor and Council Members, again, Wendy Shrief with JUB Engineers. So, thank you. I think this is the first time I have ever reopened a hearing that -- I just wanted to bring a couple things up. First of all, we are going to have the -- we are proposing the standard ten feet between homes you have in your R-8 zoning district and we will have -- there is a ten foot combination of berm and attenuation wall along Meridian Road. So, this is going to be very similar to other subdivisions where it's going to be obscured from Meridian Road, so I think that concern about the view corridor, we are going to have a combination of a wall and a berm all along Meridian Road. What -- what I would like to propose -- it sounds like there were -- with the R-8 zoning we were granted when there were different dimensional standards back when this development was originally approved when this was annexed. We would like to have the opportunity to continue the hearing and come back and re-examine those dimensional standards from the original R- 8 zone when this property was originally dimensioned, come back with a site plan, Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 44 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 39 of 101 emphasize our open space and green space and look at those dimensional standards that were in place when this property was annexed at that time. De Weerd: And I appreciate that. One thing I think when they looked at the dimensional standards, the hope was to give greater creativity opportunities to as testified to provide maybe some of that in open space, so that you can create a feeling of taking advantage of the amenities and maybe still getting the same numbers in there, but having opportunities to do something different. What you showed was not something different and I agree that there is a demand. I have heard it from several of our senior advisory board members, they would like to see greater opportunities for smaller lots and, hopefully, someone else taking care of their yards. But if you also might consider that in -- in what you're looking at. Shrief: Okay. So, Mayor and Council, that is our request to continue to -- to continue and to come back with that plan and to revisit the dimensional standards for when this property was annexed and -- and also I want to look a little bit at the area and how some of this is developed. I think when this was originally approved subdivisions in the area, such as Silver Water, which have come in with a mix of lots, they have actually brought in some lots that are much smaller that we are proposing, but I want to look at that -- kind of that shot in history when this was originally annexed and what was the plan for that area and how has that changed and what were the dimensional standards back then and we will come back with probably a prettier plan for you. But we appreciate the opportunity to do that. Cavener: Madam Mayor? Bernt: Madam Mayor? Seniority. De Weerd: Mr. Cavener. Cavener: Do you think you need -- is 30 days sufficient? Shrief: If I could get two weeks that would be great. Cavener: Okay. Bernt: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Bernt. Bernt: See, this is what I like and this is what I appreciate is when, you know, smart minds get together and come up with plans that work. I have experience on the Planning and Zoning Commission and I know it's possible. I saw it day in and day out where -- where smart people got together and came up with plans where it just worked. I have no doubt that you will come back with a plan that better serves this area, that's maybe a little bit Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 45 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 40 of 101 less dense, but more creative. I appreciate your -- I appreciate your willingness to do that. Shrief: Thank you. Cavener: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Cavener. Cavener: Unless anyone else has anything to add or offer, seeings how we have got the public hearing already open, I move that we continue this public hearing to February 20th, 2018. Palmer: Second. De Weerd: I have a motion and a second to continue Item 9-F to February 20th. All those in favor say aye. Any opposed? Okay. All ayes. MOTION CARRIED: FOUR AYES. TWO ABSENT. G. Public Hearing Continued from October 24, 2017 for 2017 Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment (H-2017-0113) by City of Meridian ECR, administrative changes and certain policy statements 1. Request: Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment for the purpose of 1) updating the text and policy statements (Goals, Objectives and Action Items) contained in the plan; 2) add text that identifies the Southern Rim; and 3) update the current version of the Existing Conditions Report (ECR) De Weerd: Item 9-D is a public hearing continued from October 24th on H-2017-0113. I will turn this over to Caleb. Hood: So, Madam Mayor, with your -- De Weerd: Or Brian. Hood: -- with your Council's permission -- yeah. Is it okay if we present from -- we will just go right down the line here. Warren is actually part of this team, too. So, if you're okay, though, I think we will just present from the staff desk if that's okay. De Weerd: We won't hold it against you that Warren is part of it. Are you turned on? McClure: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I'm here tonight to continue speaking to you about this Comprehensive Plan text amendment. This is a staff initiated Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 46 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 41 of 101 amendment, as you mentioned, began on October 24th. You gave us some direction and some more to do and so we have come back to explain the process to you now. Caleb, Warren and I will all discuss this -- De Weerd: Brian, can you pull that a little closer to -- McClure: Is that better? De Weerd: Yes. McClure: We have three items to cover tonight in two groups. Before moving on I'd like to emphasize that these groups -- and even the specific elements in texts in these groups are not a package deal. You can choose which elements or text to approve or not. This first group, which I will be covering, is the same as presented on October 24th, so I apologize in advance. This includes a yearly review of Comprehensive Plan policy statements and department text and the updated existing conditions report. These are what we consider to be administrative changes, approving these will help us to prepare for work on the new Comprehensive Plan. We have not received or heard any comments or concern with these items. The second group and third item are proposed policy and text changes to the Comprehensive Plan related to the rims. This topic is where our conversations focused at the last hearing and Caleb and Warren will have some of the updates on this later on. What's included in the review. There are too many changes to go through one by one, but here are a few examples. Generally these revisions reflect things that already have or are occurring. Red strike through is text proposed to be removed and green underlined text are proposed additions. First example reflects that Public Works has completed their sewer master plan model and the second just shows some updated numbers to fire department staffing. Again, we will get to the rim text changes later. Here are a few proposed changes to policy statements. The goals, objectives, and action items of the plan. Again, there is too many to go through one by one, but these generally are actual operations or things the city is already doing. Examples on the screen are very typical, as most of these changes are just responsible department priorities and clarifications. Anything red is removed. Green is new. Existing conditions report is the second item we will be discussing. The Comprehensive Plan is split into two documents, both of which are needed to meet state code. The first document, which is the Comprehensive Plan, includes a future land use map is future looking. What is it we want to be when we grow up. The second document, which is an addendum to the first, is the existing conditions report. This describes who we are today. The new existing conditions report -- the new photos, more photos, updated tables, new tables, new charts and reduction of overall text. Number of pages, but a higher ratio of graphics and it's really kind of meant to be flipped through. The infographics slide on the screen is a summary of information in the ECR and the graphics on the screen reflect Meridian only, but the ECR will compare that against the Ada county, Canyon county, Boise, Nampa, Idaho, and the U.S. as a whole. Here is a few more graphics, just to highlight what's in the ECR. Of note I guess poverty levels in media are lower than local, state, and national rates. Meridian is aging. The median age continues to increase and the older percent of the population is increasingly a large portion of the overall whole and Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 47 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 42 of 101 housing costs, increasingly larger portion of total household income. This is especially true for those renting homes and apartments. Lastly here are a few additional items for your consideration and as proposed. We didn't get these into the original application, but they were covered at P&Z and with Council October 24th and they have not changed. In summary, staff would like to change all occurrences of the Wastewater Treatment Plant to the Wastewater Resource Recovery Facility in both the text and the policy statements and, then, for policy number five, .05.03A, Public Works had originally requested this priority item to be lowered. Subsequently Legal and SWAC requested that we leave it alone and Public Works concurred. So, we are asking, basically, to leave it alone in regard to the priority. And, lastly, some of the information on parks with the ECR, what it is we included in the packet has -- was -- parks requested some additional updates to that afterwards, so they have been changed in the ECR before it went to Planning and Zoning and City Council, but I'm just making a note that they weren't in the original application. That's it for this section. I'm happy to take any specific questions if you have them. Otherwise, I can turn this over to Caleb. De Weerd: Council, any questions on this part? Hood: So, Madam Mayor, Council, thank you. Before I get into my -- my portion of this, I do want to just emphasize a couple of things that Brian brought up. First, I want to -- and I think we talked about this maybe in October, but you're going to hear a lot of the same things we talked about in October tonight. But I do want to just thank Brian and to appreciate him for the work he did, particularly on the ECR. If you haven't looked at that document, it's pretty fantastic and the work he did to -- not graphically, but just coordinate the census website, talk to COMPASS staff, find the information and, then, make it pretty, so you can actually read it and understand it, it's a pretty cool document. So, again, you have other things to consider, but at the end of the day, if nothing else that ECR and probably the administrative changes, if you can at least move those forward would be great. He's put a lot of effort into that and we use it for marketing materials and other things, too, that we would like to officially start using it, so, anyways, onto really why I am here before this evening. So, again, just a little bit of background. Over the last 12 to 15 months or so you have had some projects, particularly in south Meridian -- and I'm not going to define south Meridian, other than being south of I-84. But you have had some projects and some public comment at those proposed projects about the southern rim and densities in particular and based on some of those comments staff was indirectly directed to work with a small group of those property owners to develop some policies and piggyback, if you will, what we just presented, the administrative changes, and the ECR that we were already in the process of working on and get some policies related to the rim to consider. So, that's kind of just a real quick -- and I know -- obviously, that was a year or 15 months' worth of history in 30 seconds, but that's kind of what brought us to submitting the application with what I'm going to talk about, rim policy. So, we had that first meeting, the first public hearing, on October 24th. You continued it at that meeting to tonight, February 6th. You did ask us to come back in December with just a quick update on how we were going to kind of tackle these tasks and we did that as well. As well as for Public Works to evaluate sewer impacts and do that additional public outreach. So, what have we done? Since the 12/6 meeting we had a meeting -- or, Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 48 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 43 of 101 excuse me, since the October 24th meeting we had a meeting on December 6th with three members of the Southern Rim Coalition, their representatives. Three Building Contractors of Southwest Idaho representatives and three city staff people. Essentially there was no real concurrence on that meeting. I thought it was productive, but there wasn't a whole lot of agreeance that came about from that meeting or that even the concept of including text in the plan from the BCA's perspective into the Comprehensive Plan. But it was a good opportunity for at least the two sides -- three sides to all sit to down and hear each other out on that. Like I mentioned, then, on 12/12 we did a quick just outreach plan to Council that we provided to you and, then, on January 3rd we held a public information meeting here in conference room A-B. Letters went out to property owners that had two acres or more within the rim areas and I will show you a graphic here in a second of what that means. As well as the homeowners association and we also posted it to the clerk's office on NextDoor. We had 31 people sign in at that meeting with about 36 in total -- not everybody tends to sign in, but we had about 36 and that doesn't include staff and, again, we had four or five staff people present as well. So, Planning and Public Works staff gave a similar presentation that you're hearing tonight. We kind of did the whole dog and pony show and, then, we had some boards set up on either side and we answered questions after the more formal kind of PowerPoint presentation. We did have comment sheets available that were provided to anybody in attendance. We actually even e-mailed a couple of them after the fact. We only received six sheets and some of them even just provided the e-mails back to us, but six comment sheets returned to us by when we were asking for them by the 10th of January. It was a split response. Total six, three were generally in favor and three were against. We also -- I also provided the memo that you have in your pocket for tonight dated February 1, to that same what I call the party of nine. Three members from BCA, three members from the Southern Coalition and staff. So, they have that as well. Since, then, we have also received a petition online and I believe the clerk has either a link or somehow has linked that to your packet, so you can look at the petition in searchable documents. I'm sure you will hear a little bit more about that, but that's also in the packet part of the record for this. So, that's a quick recap of just the things we have done. I will let Warren kind of talk what he's done here in just a minute. But that's kind of -- since the last public hearing what's taken place. So, I want to spend -- again, you have heard this before, but I want to -- I need to go through it again. So, this is the meat of the proposal. We are back in the plan itself here. The comp plan. So, here are what the rim areas look like on the map. These new exhibit maps depict the rim areas that would be included in the comp plan. These overlay areas would not be depicted on the future land use map. So, this is a separate stand-alone exhibit in the comp plan that's cross-referenced and some of the policies I will run through here in just a second. The area shown here were drawn the same way on the original. North of Chinden. Here is Spurwing. Text was written. And the areas are within a quarter mile of the rim on both sides. So, before I go -- before I go too far in more of the changes to the map, I do want to just reinforce what the comp plan is and does and what it isn't as well. So, it's a generalized guide for how our community should grow. It's not a blueprint for that growth. It's a broad visionary document, not a one size fits all policy. There is discretion involved. The appropriateness and intent of a project and if or how specific policies within the plan are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. So, essentially, as you will see on the next slide, language is in shoulds and not shalls. We do encourage, you Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 49 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 44 of 101 know, these types of things, but it's not explicitly required. That being said, we do -- staff and I think you do, place a lot of value on the text within the Comprehensive Plan. So, it's a balancing act. Again, it's not shalls, but we do emphasize these things and are looking for general compliance. But it is, again, kind of case by case as well. Okay. So, then, back into the -- the text of the plan. Before I highlight everything on this slide, I do want to talk about the purple here for just a second. In the memo that I referenced earlier, dated February 1, I put a note in there that when we had our meeting with the BCA and the Southern Rim Coalition representatives, that everybody was in general compliance or agreement with -- on the third bullet, the clarification that not already annexed and zoned in the city. That's new language. I don't think anybody disagrees with that clarifying language, but the BCA asked and I will -- they are not in favor of any of this text. So, they didn't agree to that change, because the premise of even having this text they don't necessarily agree with it and I will let them speak for themselves, but that's, essentially, the clarifying language is that was meant just as a clarifier. It really doesn't change how we would have applied it or not. Staff always presented it this way. If you are already annexed and zoned, this isn't retroactive to you. We thought it would help clarify that. So, if it moves forward tonight, I would ask that it read this way, but, again, are all parties on board with how this reads? No. So, I'm sorry if I misrepresented that in my memo. So, the first bullet -- this text removes the density step allowance within the rim areas. So, right now the city will consider a one step or down density for most residentially designated properties without doing a future land use map amendment. So, the step is not a given. It is something that can be requested by an applicant, but the applicant must justify that step and gain Council concurrence. Usually, first staff concurrence and, then, Council -- ultimately Planning and Zoning and Council concurrence. Just a quick aside on this and you will see some of this language even in the petitions and some of the other things that are out there. We are going to take a serious look at this step when we get into a new comp plan. So, that's not -- you know, the step citywide -- not the step in the rim, but the step citywide. Is this -- it is -- and we kind of talked about this in October, it's antiquated at this point. It was put in place during a time when state law only allowed us to modify our map twice a year. Once every six months. However, this policy has withstood the test of time and lives on and it's been helpful in some cases, but it really hasn't and I don't want to get too far off track -- hasn't provided some of those assurances that may be adjacent property owners were expecting when they look at the map. It allows a wide range of residential development to occur because of the ranges you get with a step up or down from whatever your based designation is. That range is just -- it's crazy. So, anyways, we will look at that more with a new comp plan. But this one would limit that for now within the north and south rim areas as depicted in the first slide that I showed you. They couldn't step up. So, if you're in -- in the overlay area, there is no -- there is no stepping up. If you're low, you're low. If you're medium, you're medium. There is no going from low to medium, so -- without doing a future land use map amendment. That is still a tool that anybody has in their tool box, can apply for. If you're the property owner you don't like a designation, you can file a map amendment with the city and go through the process to change the map. So, it's not set in stone. None of this is ever set in stone. We modify development agreements. You modify the comp plan. It's a living, breathing document, but it is a guide and there is a lot of work that goes into putting it together, so -- so, that's the first bullet. Really, what it would do is, again, within those Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 50 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 45 of 101 areas depicted you couldn't even request that step up. Your residential -- if -- if you're residential in those areas that is the range your -- your project would need to develop to without going through a map amendment. But feel free to stop at any time so this makes sense, but I know you have heard most of this before. Bullet two. Again, I will just highlight. This is should language, not shall. This -- this statement sets the context for additional policy statements, the goals and objectives that I will show you here in a second. Meant to encourage developers to think about the rim as an asset and allow their project appropriately. Who defines appropriately? That is everybody. So, we are, again, setting -- saying, hey, is there -- almost your last discussion you had, is this an asset that should be thought about when you're laying out this property? Is there a view. If so, what can we do about that? Should we lay something out with open space or our streets or whatever. So, we don't -- we, as staff, don't really have any way to enforce this policy, but we ask the developer to explain how they are complying or meeting the intent of it. So, the third bullet, then, on this is right now all residential uses north of Chinden and within a quarter mile of the Phyllis Canal or that rim are supposed to be one half to one acre. So, this policy has existed for some time, but, in reality, if you go out there you don't have all half to one acre lots within a quarter mile of that rim that drops off to the Phyllis Canal. So, like I was just saying, it's a guide. It's not a blueprint. It doesn't mean exactly a quarter mile. All lots have to be a size. So, just, again, want to set that concept -- that concept up. So, your future land use map color or your residential density really trumps this text, because you have projects in the Tree Farm, for example, that are medium density. That trumps any policy like this that says half to one acre lots generally. So, staff evaluates projects, again, on a case by case basis. I will probably just leave it at that. Transitions are the other thing that definitely factor into that. This is the other main part of the proposed rim text and these are the goals, objectives, and action items. So, the comp plan contains background, think ECR and some of the other administrative changes that we are having, but also contains real policies, goals, objectives, action items and this is what is typically referred to most frequently in a staff report, you know, see action item 3.01-03A. That's -- that's the reference you're getting most of the time in a staff report. So, this is that -- this is an addition to that table in Chapter 3 of the comp plan that staff would most likely say is a project doing these things. But, again, they are policy statements, they are meant to encourage, not require, and without reading them to you, I will assume the font is large enough everyone can read it. Essentially what they are trying to encourage is preserving views, orienting developments to make use of those views, using open space to benefit neighborhoods with views, and encouraging open vision fencing to limit obscuring views. So, these are all goals we seek to achieve with lots of options and examples for a variety of development types. Again, not a blueprint. So, just a couple of more exhibits and, then, I will turn it over to Warren. So, this, essentially, is a hybrid. Again, we aren't putting this designation on our future land use map, but it shows what it would look like if you overlaid the two. So, this wouldn't be in the comp plan, but just to show you what it -- essentially, what it would look like. The rim area is cross- hatched here. I will just -- just a quick aside. We have had some -- I have had some conversations with some folks about -- particularly if you look at the -- below the rim in this case. I mean the Phyllis Canal really -- I mean it's -- it's definitely lower and some have asked, well, why would you limit -- there is no view there. I mean you're on the river. You're in the low lands, but why would you limit the -- now, you're really talking about Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 51 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 46 of 101 densities. There isn't a view to speak of there, but it's more about kind of that transition there potentially. But, again, would staff apply down below half to one acre lots as a hard and fast rule? Probably not. Is it -- it doesn't have that same value, if you will, if you're up on top and especially the first block or so along -- along the rim looking out over the river. The same -- in that same vein we had conversations about Chinden and you also just talked about it, but the last project was on the state highway as well. Ten foot minimum sound and noise mitigation wall along Chinden. No one is getting --there are no public views from Chinden Boulevard here. We are building a wall, because we said noise is an issue from the highway, put up a wall. So, if you're talking about public value here from Chinden anyways -- and there is going to be public streets, more than likely, running through, you can't -- you can't see -- you can still see over the wall, obviously, you can probably see Butte and the foothills and things. But, again, it's obscured, if you will. So, I just want to kind of -- some of the conversations I have had with people about, well, what -- yeah, there is a value if you're right on the rim, but, really, very few others would derive any value. So, I have gotten some of those -- those questions or concerns about this. So, here is -- is just an aerial view. I probably won't spend too much time on this. But just, again, remember the green areas are the low density. Those are the ones that will be limited to no step. You couldn't step up if you're green. But we have got -- I should have done this calculation. Brian may even have it. But we have got a large portion of this that's already developed. Spurwing. Tree Farm. You know, really it's west of Black Cat and even some of that is imminent. There is really not a lot of opportunities for this -- for these policies really to apply in this area, so -- yeah. I see some of you still looking at the screen, but I'm ready to move on if you are. Okay. So, the south end. So, same kind of deal. Show you what it would look like over the top of our future land map. Again, this is only an illustrative exhibit. It isn't proposed to be actually put in the plan. But would show you how many residentially designated properties are affected and how many low density residential properties are even affected. So, here is that same -- since they are the same scale, just with the aerial instead of the future land you map. So, you can see some of the properties already developed out. Some of them are developed in the county with some redevelopment potential and some that are largely undeveloped or being farmed right now. So, with that, again, this was originally heard on the 24th and the other reason to continue it was for Public Works to evaluate the impacts of the -- the proposed text I just ran through on sewer. So, with that I'm going to turn it over to Warren. Stewart: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, at that same hearing in October that Caleb talked to you about, we also presented some information on how land use and densities impact Public Works infrastructure and I was asked to come back with a little bit more information and so that's why I'm here tonight. I will go through for the benefit of those who may not have been there that night and give you a little bit more -- a little bit of background and, then, I will talk a little bit more about sort of the issues and concerns that we would promise to come back to you with. So, land use density has a significant impact on Public Works infrastructure. The sizes that we -- of the pipes and the main lines and pumps and things that we use are dependent upon how much usage they are going to get or how much demand there is going to be for that infrastructure. So, developing a good plan and, then, staying fairly consistent with that plan saves the city a lot of money in either over or under investing in infrastructure if that plan changes. So, getting this Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 52 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 47 of 101 fairly well dialed in -- now that's not to say it has to be perfect, but getting it fairly well dialed in and, then, staying somewhat consistent with that plan is important to ask. Otherwise, we either overbuild or under build and either one can, essentially, waste money. Every utility has a point at which the utility has a break even -- the densities are either sufficient to cover the cost of long-term maintenance operation and replacement. For many cities across the nation they have been -- they have studied this and found that that -- that break even point for most utilities is somewhere between two and four dwelling units per acre. You have to have that kind of density in the order to generate enough revenue per mile of pipe to eventually maintain that, operate it, and the big ticket item is to replace it when it gets old and needs to be replaced. We have looked at that for the City of Meridian. Our breaking point for the City of Meridian appears to be somewhere around 2.7 to three dwelling units per acre right now and that's kind of, you know, based on some information that we looked at a few years ago also had that -- that, again, as a part of this effort and that's kind of the break even point for us. However, I will say that some -- some areas of small, larger or lower density areas don't have a significant impact on that number, provided that they are not extensive and that they are not significant to the relative size of a drainage basin. So, our water system has got wells all over the city and doesn't have a centralized treatment area. Because of that our water system is not as affected by these changes that might take place. But our sewer system, because we have a central place where the sewer is treated, we have to start that infrastructure and sizing that infrastructure from the plant and work outward. We have some drainage basins in the city or areas that drain into one main trunk line that are very large and small areas of lower density development within that trunk sewer shed we call them have very little impact on those mainline sizes. However, if you've got a trunk sewer shed that's relatively small and you make changes to the density in that area, that can have a significant impact on the size of that pipe. So, for instance, just to kind of give you some perspective. If you look at this map, the purple lines in this map represent the drainage basins of the sewer sheds for the City of Meridian. If you look, essentially, west of Meridian Road, you will see that this -- the little purple areas are relatively small. So, changing densities in those areas can have a dramatic impact on the size of those pipes in that area. Whereas, going to the east, the sewer sheds in that area are much larger than and so changes in those, essentially, land use densities can -- will have a much less -- or they will be much less noticeable on the pipe sizes. So, I wanted to give you some perspective. There is -- it matters what portion of the town you're in. It matters how big the drainage basins are with regards to the impact that these changes have. Just to kind of give you a little bit of perspective with this. Most of you are familiar with the project that we are doing right now going down Meridian Road with a new trunk sewer and through the Simplot property, across Victory -- or Amity Road and onto the south. These changes that we are talking about here, if we implemented those changes, would, essentially, on that trunk sewer that we are in the process of building and the future segments of that, we would be able to change one segment of 24 inch pipe to 21 inch pipe for a thousand lineal feet. Now, that may not sound like a lot, but that's a pretty substantial downsize in the pipe for a fairly significant distance, which saves the city a lot of money. We would also have another section where we could take the ten inch pipe that's there and we do see up to eight inch pipe for an additional thousand feet. So, these land use changes can have an impact on what we invest in those areas. If we invest -- in other words, if we take Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 53 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 48 of 101 these changes and we implement them and we put the smaller pipes in the ground and, then, we decide later on that, well, maybe we would rather go back to a higher density, I just want Council to be aware that can be extremely difficult to do if those pipe sizes are already in the ground, if not impossible in some instances to go back and what that will mean is we will have overinvested in that sewer system. So, again, the message is decide what to do, be fairly consistent with what we want to do, because significant changes in what we do have a dramatic impact on whether we have invested too much or too little with regards to our sewer infrastructure. One of the other questions that you guys had asked me to come back with is what are the funding options. In other words, if, in fact, you have a situation where you might have low density lots, less than two dwelling units per acre, and we can't -- at our current single rate tier or single rate structure for rates, we don't cover the cost or we can't recoup enough cost to cover that, what can you do? I talked about back then about maybe going to a tiered rate structure. That's one avenue that you could look at in order to potentially allow the lower densities and still create a rate structure where they would pay for that eventual long-term replacement. As I looked into that more and more, tried to find other alternatives, I honestly didn't find very much information on any other alternative. So, I think one of the things that you could consider, potentially, if we wanted to, is some sort of a tier grade structure, that you could sort of increase that for the lower density -- increase rates for lower density homes, so that they -- you could generate enough revenue over the long term to eventually pay for the long- term replacement. I did want to just sort of mention that this is -- this is a -- long-term infrastructure replacement and -- is a big issue throughout the country right now. It's an issue that we want to make sure that as the Public Works Department we come back to you here in the next few months and give you a lot more information on, because I think long-term planning for infrastructure replace -- replacement is going to be significant. We have cities back east that haven't planned well and are facing monumental challenges right now trying to figure out how they are going to replace aging infrastructure and they either are going to have to jack up rates or reduce services in order to make that happen. I recently read one -- it's a major city, but a major city back east that has over 400 mainline breaks a day and I can't even imagine what we had out here in Meridian Road -- or in Eagle Road 400 times a day and the kind of money that they are, essentially, throwing away, because they haven't thought about this long term and don't have the funding to replace that infrastructure. So, something to consider. I want to make sure you guys are aware of that, that you have that in the back of your mind. Summarizing, you know, a few -- a development that may be 40 or 80 acres and has a few half acre or even one acre lots and a portion of that, but their overall density in that development approaches 2.7 to three dwelling units per acre, that's not a problem. Especially in a large drainage basin, that's going to be okay. But if we -- if we do take and make significant areas of our -- our city, these larger lots, I think we need to look seriously at what we need to do in order to plan for that long term or we could be in a situation where that could cause us some problems and some difficulties. And with that I will stand for any questions. De Weerd: Thank you, Warren. Council, any questions? Cavener: Madam Mayor? Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 54 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 49 of 101 De Weerd: Mr. Cavener. Cavener: Warren, I appreciate your request and your comments about being fairly consistent moving forward. Can you share with Council -- city employees for the most part are fairly consistent in them being in their positions, but this body is -- in a perfect world consistent for at least two years, but even two years from now there could be four new people sitting up here. Can you share with us as a department how you plan taking into consideration that we, as a body, may not always be fairly consistent in who is sitting up here? Stewart: Well, thank you, Councilman Cavener and, Mayor, thanks for giving me the opportunity to talk about this. But I don't know that we -- obviously, we have no control over that, but my hope is that this planning effort that we are going through right now and creating a vision will sort of help drive that consistency, because as a Council you don't all change all at once. So, hopefully, as this plan is implemented by -- or a plan is implemented by this particular Council, that will stay fairly consistent over time. We realize that there is going to be some modifications here or there, but that's why we are here and we hope to be able to provide you with the information to hope you understand that land use planning and changes to these plans do have an impact on Public Works infrastructure and they can mean that we can either overinvest or under invest. So, keeping that in mind -- it's your decision. I mean as a Council you have the ability to make those decisions. But I think what's -- for me what's important is that you understand the implications of that. That if you decide to make a change, you understand that that -- that that has implications to our Public Works infrastructure and that can -- that can mean that we either have to reinvest additional money in an area that we thought we were sufficient in or that we may have put in bigger infrastructure than was necessary. Cavener: Thank you. Stewart: I don't know if that answers your question. Bernt: Absolutely. De Weerd: Well, I think maybe I will ask it in a different way is what can Public Works do to keep that information in front of the elected body, so the decisions that are made make sense to what has been modeled. So, therefore, if you take it -- I don't know by square mile or what have you, but to constantly keep that information in front of us as to where we are at and -- because I imagine it's net density, not gross density, or vice-versa. Yeah. Net. Stewart: Yeah. Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I think we, obviously, can do a new master plan every five years and we make that master plan available for sewer and water. You're certainly welcome to look at that anytime you like. I think the one thing that helps us keep consistent is every time there is an application that comes through the process we model that for comparison against what we had planned in the master plan. If, for instance, we had planned for a particular density and an application comes through Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 55 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 50 of 101 that seeks to increase that density significantly and we model that and we say, you know what, we don't currently have the infrastructure to support that kind of density, we will let you know through that application process. Now, unfortunately, the other way around doesn't always happen. In other words, if our infrastructure was sized to accommodate the higher density and you go lower, we, of course, are going to be able to serve that. It does mean that some of that infrastructure may be, basically, underutilized, but I think -- De Weerd: Warren? Stewart: Go ahead. De Weerd: Warren, do you look at it, though, on a cumulative basis when you model -- do you model just that specific subdivision or do you also compare it to what else has been done in that -- along that line that you're modeling and see -- maybe you have a greater density than was anticipated in one development and a lower one in another development, do you take that into consideration or do you just do your model on that application? Stewart: So, every five years when we update the master plan, we actually take all of the development that's come in and recalibrate the model for the existing development and, then, we do projections based on what the current land use plan is. So, we take the land use plan that has been adopted by the city and we put that in our model and say, okay, this is zoned this much, we are going to assume that it's this many dwelling units per acre and we run the model to predict or project what those mainline sizes are going to be in the future and, then, we truth that up every five years -- well, we actually update the model on a continuous basis with whatever comes in. But every five years we will take a more comprehensive look. So, in other words, if there is an area that was on the land use plan that's way out that changed from one kind of density to another one, one iteration of the plan will take that into consideration to the next. You still have a situation where you could end up with us coming back -- it's happened already in the city. I mean, obviously, years and years ago the city was planning for certain mainline sizes. We did a project in Eighth Street Park just last year where we went through a significant portion of that and we had to do a parallel main, because they made a guess at that time that the main line size needed to be a certain size and we have, obviously, outgrown it. So, we had to put in a parallel main in order to accommodate the growth in that area. We are trying to minimize that, because that's very costly to go back and do that after houses and everything else are already built up, but -- I don't know if that helped or not. Hopefully it did. De Weerd: It does. Council, any other questions for Warren at this time? Okay. Hood: So, Madam Mayor, before I wrap up, just -- or change the slide anyways, just to clarify. So, as I mentioned before on some of the other exhibits we are not proposing -- staff is not proposing with this any changes to the future land use map. So, on here you see some other layers that show sewer sheds, but, again, those wouldn't show up or with the cross-hatched rim area. So, just no changes to the future land use map at all proposed with -- with this group and I also just want to piggyback or comment on one of Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 56 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 51 of 101 the questions that was asked of Warren and, really, just reinforce, yes, Public Works is definitely impacted and part of and needs to be in the know of what we are doing with land use changes and development. All departments are impacted by changes in land use and what I really want to -- I mean fire, police, parks -- maybe not IT so much, but, basically, every department is affected by changes up or down in density. They are definitely, you know, affected probably the most, but, again, everything is based on how many households we have; right? So, all that just to plug our -- the upcoming effort for a new Comprehensive Plan. Everybody needs to be involved. The public, all of our departments need to be part of coming up with that and understanding the implications for any changes and so I will get off my soap box and get back to the -- the task at hand. It's not just, oh, we do appreciate our relationship with Public Works and do work with them to try to minimize those or at least understand the impacts, but same could be said with fire and parks and -- De Weerd: Mr. Bernt. Bernt: Caleb, I -- you couldn't have said it better, in my opinion. You know, everyone is affected. Every department in this city is affected. Every citizen in this city is affected. And I hope -- and on the record I'm going to say it out loud, as loud as I possibly -- I hope that people will be involved -- not just those who are on the southern and northern rims, but everywhere in between. This is -- this -- honestly, this decision -- the decisions that we will be making for this Comprehensive Plan coming up is probably one of the most crucial things that we have discussed in a long time and, hopefully, we all listened to what Caleb said and -- and are prepared for this discussion and I can't wait, it's going to be fantastic, but it's going to be very important for the future of Meridian. Hood: Thank you. So, what's on the table right now? Within the rim area -- so, let me just kind of boil it down and everything you have heard -- at least for my part of the presentation. Put Brian's stuff aside, because this really doesn't summarize his stuff, but within those rim areas -- again, the same cross-hatch, north rim, south rim, cross- hatch, no step would be allowed. No step up would be allowed in those areas if you're residential today. The other impacts. For areas that have both of the following bullets. If you have a low density residential designation -- I'm going to go back. That's the darker green here. For those properties that are low -- designated low density. Sorry, it should be both -- both of the green shades there. And aren't already developed, zone entitled, or have applications that are already in process, you -- the impact would be instead of today, where you could develop up to three dwelling units per acre, you would only be able to develop to a maximum of half acre lots within those areas. So, it does -- there is -- there is another level of effect for properties that have a low density residential designation that are under developed or undeveloped today. So, that's -- that's the reality of -- of -- the implications, if you will, of the text changes. So, what's before you in the options as staff sees them? You can approve -- and all three phases of this, if you will, and Brian covering two and Warren and myself covering the other one with the rim -- approve just the administrative changes in the ECR, but deny the rim policy additions or changes. I think we need to have a little bit more of a conversation if you choose Option B. Would you need that direction. So, let's -- let's talk about that if you're leaning towards that, because Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 57 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 52 of 101 that's where the motion goes. See approved proposed changes with any specific changes. Maybe you like all of them, but you don't like the way this reads or you don't like that policy or whatever or simply deny them all. So, you see staff's recommendation there. Also put it in the memo for tonight. We are approving at a minimum the ECR and administrative changes and we are going to ride the fence on this one. We can do it. It's possible without too many negative implications. There may even be some positives. But at this point in time staff usually come with a recommendation on this one -- or, again, kind of straddling that line in the gray area and we are going to leave the rim up to you all. Is it something we should adopt and begin implementing at this point in time. So, that ends our portion of the -- I know we kind of already did the Public Works portion, but I'm sure Warren would stand for any other questions or Brian or myself before you open it up for general public testimony, Mayor, but that's our -- our update presentation. De Weerd: Thank you. Council, any questions at this time? Okay. Mr. Clerk. Coles: Thank you, Madam Mayor. We had a few sign-ups this evening to provide testimony. De Weerd: Oh, Mr. Clerk, I think, Council, if we could, take a five minute a break, just so you can check your phones or take a walk down the hall. (Recess: 8:39 p.m. to 8:47 p.m.) De Weerd: We are going to go ahead and get this started. Give you a few minutes to -- so, I will ask Mr. Clerk to go ahead and start down our sign-up list. Coles: Very good. Thank you, Madam Mayor. The first on our sign-up list this evening is Denise LeFever, wishing to provide testimony. De Weerd: Good evening. If you will, please, state your name and address for the record. LeFever: Denise LeFever on 6706 North Salvia Way and, yes, that is in the north rim. De Weerd: Thank you. LeFever: I came before -- Madam Mayor, Commissioners, I came before you guys back in October and I did not object to the plan administrative text and I still don't and the ERC, I don't object to it. As a matter of fact, I think Brian did a really great job. I concur with that. That's a nice looking piece. What I did object to is the lack of notice and I do understand that it is legally correct. So, what I did object to is this impacted over 200 -- 200 properties that were in that area and it impacted property owners that had rights there that didn't necessarily get noticed individually from it. So, I want to come before you and say thank you for kicking it back and allowing that opportunity to have those meetings and have those conversations and notice the individuals. Thank you, Brian. Thank you, Caleb. You guys worked really hard on that, did a splendid job and I know it was a lot of extra work that you had to do because of it. But at the end of the day I do not object to Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 58 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 53 of 101 what's going on in the rim. I'm neutral to it at this point. I think everything that needs to be done was done and I appreciate that. Overall I do object to the Comprehensive Plan and the way of noticing by the newspaper. I think that the Comprehensive Plan is important. I think there is a lot of energy and effort that goes into that Comprehensive Plan and future changes to the Comprehensive Plan that impact over 200 lots, I would like to see more notice. So, as far as this proposal goes on the rims, I'm neutral to it. Thank you for your time. De Weerd: Thank you. Palmer: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Palmer. Palmer: Madam Mayor. Denise, thanks for coming and letting us know and hanging out with us for a while. What -- you would like more notice? We agree that the newspaper is a joke, but the state requires us to do that, so we do. But what -- what types of notice would you like to see? LeFever: To the same effort that you would do in a comprehensive change, especially when it impacts people that own properties that have development rights. It was clear that the developers were caught off guard by this change, so I just think there needs to be a higher level when you go back through and make these comprehensive plans that impact that many lots, because there is no signage, there is nothing there. You post signs. You can go back through, do public notices, if you can get them on the radio. Mayor did a wonderful job -- Mayor Tammy did a wonderful job when I was at BVEP. She announced that the Comprehensive Plan was coming up. Doing notices that -- bigger swaths. Caleb went back through and did a wonderful job doing it like a mini town hall. I just think it needs to be at a higher level. Thanks for asking. De Weerd: Any further questions? Thank you, Denise. Coles: Wendy Webb was next on the list in favor, not wishing to testify. Marilee Andrews was in favor, not wishing to testify. Gary Andrews in favor, not wishing to testify. Torrey Mew, no indication. Andrea Shelton in favor, wanting to testify. De Weerd: Good evening. Shelton: Andrea Shelton. 2498 East Cyanite, Meridian. I just want to say that -- to begin with I love this place. I love this place. We were born and raised here. We love Meridian, Idaho. We don't want to live anywhere else. The possibility of changing the text to protect these rim areas is near and dear to my heart. I love not just the view, I love the space. I love having a place that I can breathe and I know that there is a lot of older people that may like just no yard. I love my yard. I love my gardens. I love my pets. I also think that we are making huge impacts on our schools, on our roads, on every aspect of our lives. So, protecting possibility, some of the future use of these rim areas to me is wonderful. I Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 59 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 54 of 101 also love that you guys are considering putting this into the text and all that was done. I attended your meeting. It was wonderful. And I thank you for doing that for all of us. We love Idaho and we love Meridian. So, that's all. De Weerd: Thank you, Andrea. Coles: Ben Shelton also signed up in favor, not wishing to provide testimony. Katelyn Shelton in favor, not wanting to testify. Stacia Morgan in favor, not wanting to testify. Dave Yorgason against, wanting to testify. De Weerd: Good evening. If you will, please, state your name and address for the record. Yorgason: Good evening, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. My name is Dave Yorgason. My address is 14254 West Battenburg Drive, Boise. And, first, I want to say thank you for continuing the hearing and allowing the process to move forward as it did. As has already been stated, there was actually -- as I attended the open house that the city provided in early January, I noticed several landowners -- might have been a couple developers, really. There are just landowners who are directly affected by this change - - or this proposed change who expressed appreciation for the opportunity to be part of the process, because they weren't even aware of what was going on. They were caught by surprise, I believe, and so they appreciated that and I do know there is at least one or a couple who have provided some written comment to you. I know of one who wished who could be here tonight. He's in the lower part of the south rim, if you want to think of it that way, not on the upper portion. But it is directly affected by that. Secondly, I want to thank the staff for putting together a meeting we had with the -- with the neighbors. Give me an opportunity to understand the perspective and their goals and what they are trying to accomplish. I appreciate that. Because there is a few things that were kind of concerning, but aside from that I think it was a very productive and a professional discussion we had. As you probably know I have developed subdivisions in the valley for over 20 years, mostly meeting the high end subdivisions in in Meridian, but also Boise and Eagle. In fact, more work in Eagle than probably the other two. I have dealt quite a bit with issues that we are talking about here, working with neighbors and transition, large lots, those types of things I'm very familiar with some of the expressed concerns. Having said that, I am opposed to this proposal and I have at least three reasons why. First, some of the language as stated identifies things -- words like optimizing or maximizing view sheds and, then, after that it goes on and it gives a long list of inclusive things -- kind of what I will call a wish list of pocket parks, trails, open space, large yards, large side yard setbacks. It goes on to say residential lot, streets, and open spaces must be oriented and designed to, quote, maximize view sheds. First of all, I don't know if view shed is really defined. Second of all, if it is I don't know where it is. Third, I'm not aware of any view shed easements that are on properties. So, if there are some, a comp plan change isn’t needed to enforce an existing view shed easement that's in place. Having said that, if there aren't any in place, what this sounds like to me is the city is granting view shed easements over existing owner's property for the benefit of some existing properties. In other words, you're taking value from one homeowner and giving it to another. One landowner to another and that's just an observation. So, maybe that's the city's intent. Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 60 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 55 of 101 But that's a concern. In other words, you're devaluing someone's piece of property for the benefit of someone else's. I am concerned with requiring large lots, community trails, and/or open space adjacent to existing landowners for the benefit of them. Though they don't have to pay for it, they get to use it. You don't have to -- it will be in private property, typically common area open space. They don't have to maintain it, but they get the benefit from it. Those are all concerning things. Again, maximizing view sheds sounds pretty subjective. I'm concerned with that language. I will be real quick and finish up. Half acre to one acre lots is a concern -- would you like me to finish up, Madam Mayor? I will. Half acre, one acre lots is very concerning. It's very expensive to install and also expensive for the city to maintain. Thirdly -- and no step up. I'm concerned with the no step up rule. I believe that's in place, because you don't receive it automatically -- a developer doesn't receive a no step up, but, rather, you are granted if it's earned and that seems like that's something the city would want to have is encouraging developers to be more flexible, more creative, and, frankly, more upscale and if you do those things, then, you might be granted a step up, otherwise you're not. And so I'm concerned with those. So, having said that, it's my opinion -- and I think the goal is to preserve, protect, and maybe even enhance existing properties around and that's kind of concerning. So, my recommendation would be to go ahead and move forward and adopt the noncontentious or the administrative changes that staff has proposed, but not move forward with the other specifics to the south rim area and I can address any questions you have at this time. De Weerd: Thank you, Dave. Any questions from Council? Cavener: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Cavener. Cavener: Dave, recognizing you only have three minutes and I appreciate the breakneck speed you took us through -- you mentioned in the -- in the group meeting -- the group of nine I think was -- you heard some things that were concerning. I just wanted to give you an opportunity to maybe extrapolate a little bit more of that for us. Yorgason: Thank you, Madam Mayor and Council Member Cavener. When I was there, again, as -- cordial. I didn't really feel bitter or angry feelings. When I heard things such as -- again, not a lot of comment, but just to be fair here, desires to have influence on what the entrance -- entrances to a subdivision looks like, for example. Wanting more open space, more -- specific open space at the entrance to a subdivision. They were very complementary to the Hill Century Farm Subdivision, how wide open spaces that it feels and looks -- okay. That's nice, but it's also their subdivision and I think the developers should have a little bit more latitude on what they do for their own subdivision and not have adjacent neighbors tell me as a developer how to create my entrance to my subdivision. So, specifically entrances to subdivisions was one observation. It's not in the code here, but economy may be like -- lead to some concerns down the road. Cavener: Thank you. Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 61 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 56 of 101 Yorgason: Thank you. Palmer: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Palmer. Palmer: Madam Mayor. Dave, can you elaborate a little more on -- again, touch on the -- you only have three minutes -- your -- your points about view sheds. Is that something that exists in the industry elsewhere? Is it -- what -- you kind of touched on what I think you were talking about -- if somebody were to, then, build that's outside of it and potentially obstruct what we may have inadvertently created or -- or helped somebody assume would be a right to a view, that -- how that could be problematic? Yorgason: Madam Mayor and Council Member Palmer, maybe a couple answers. First of all, when I develop foothills subdivisions -- have done a couple -- in the middle of one right now in the Boise foothills -- and there are no view shed requirements in the city of Boise. Where the requirement comes in is when I, as a developer, want to protect what I have for my existing homeowners and so I will put height restrictions on houses. I will put height restrictions on the landscaping even. By the way, none of that's addressed in this text here. And so if we are trying to protect somebody's existing view, as a developed I try to do that to enhance the value of my lots, so I can sell the lots or homes for more. My experience is if a city wants to try to impose some restrictions, as maybe you are suggesting here, then, it, then, becomes the city's responsibility to enforce it as well and so, then, when we get down to things like, well, if a developer -- or a -- for that matter, a homeowner comes in and plants trees or puts a different fence in or whatever it is, that might restrict the view, then, it now becomes potentially the city's responsibility to enforce that through your code enforcement. But if it's not in your code, it's just in your comp plan, you really might not have much of a leg to enforce and so that leads to some confusion I believe to the public to think we have our view and, then, someone comes back in later five, ten, whatever years later and changes it or puts it a taller home or whatever it might be than what was perceived might be out their backyard and all of a sudden they are going to be upset at the city, because they thought they had something protected that really wasn't. The city attorney is thinking over here. Borton: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Borton. Borton: So, Caleb's introductory comments -- and you're certainly aware of the role of the comp plan, as opposed to making a specific code amendment, which isn't part of the discussion, but if -- and, again, focusing this conversation just on this rim discussion, I think I agree -- I think everyone agrees that the administrative changes in the ECR are to be approved as is. So, on this third leg of the stool, understanding that the comp plan is a guide and that we are using the word should and we are trying to articulate general intention of concepts that we would like to incorporate into a project and this language doesn't alter the existing land use designations in either region, which, to a large extent, Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 62 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 57 of 101 have already -- and always been planned to be low density residential, a good chunk of it and our sewer master plan has incorporated those designations, assuming no step up, assuming that they are going to go forward as is and that these changes still can allow a step up and really doesn't negate any actual flexibility you have now -- if anything, it seems like it might focus the Council's attention and maybe a developer's attention that these might be some principles that are really important to the city, you can articulate a reason why a map amendment should go along with an application to justify a step up, the project is appropriate, all of that would still get approved perhaps anyway. So, I'm not totally certain I capture the -- the disagreement with -- with the language on the north and south rim, understanding there still is all that flexibility and opportunity to do everything that you already can do. Yorgason: Is there a question there, Madam Mayor? I will be glad to maybe try to respond to it. Borton: Yeah. Madam Mayor -- and I don't know if it's a question, but I appreciate the input. But the reason that I wasn't as -- as concerned and -- it's primarily because I see this still allowing the development community and the landowners to do what they do yesterday, they could do tomorrow if this went forward. There is a heightened attention pointed to certain concepts, if the city thinks these are important and see how that was -- Yorgason: Madam Mayor and Councilman Borton, if I could just answer -- respond. Borton: Sure. Yorgason: A couple things first. Couple things. Half acre to one acre lots. That is different. What we do today. So, that is added cost. My experience is two to three times more cost for that area -- that we are talking about a quarter mile on both sides, so a half mile wide of the rim. For a long distance. Recognizing it's not every parcel in there, but there is -- Borton: Right. Yorgason: -- a lot of acreage -- I have been told it's over 2,000 acres we are talking about that -- that's in this swath. I don't know that all 2,000 acres affected, because some of them are already entitled, but having said that, that's a pretty big area and so to develop those -- and, again, I will reference the lower bench area, the lower -- I call it bench, but the lower area below the rim -- specially if you're one lot away from the rim, just one lot away, now you're down -- personally, you ought to be able to get a home on rim. Unless there is certain slopes and you might have it a little tiered up or something, but you're not going to get it right to the top. That just doesn't -- you have the slope anyway. Having said that, you have a larger backyard -- so maybe it's one lot away, but once you're at that point there is no view -- there is no way a home gets built that tall is my point. Now, if that's true, then, the rim is actually not that tall. That isn't what we are really trying to protect. It's not that tall. But we are hearing that it is. And the second point is where can Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 63 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 58 of 101 you see this rim? You cannot see it once -- you cannot see the whole thing once the developer has put in along the main arterial roads the landscaping that's required for a subdivision. So, we put in our five foot or whatever tall berm, trees and fence on top of that. You look -- cast across to the south rim, down looking up, and you won't see the whole thing. There is no way you can, because of the landscaping along the arterials and so you will see it in a couple of key locations at intersections, like maybe Amity and Locust Grove, for example. But you will see it in a couple spots where the rim kind of crosses near the intersection, you won't see the whole six or seven miles of it, that just wouldn't happen. But to your specific point, the view shed restrictions for a whole quarter mile long is -- that's really excessive. That's way more than what Eagle does and they are way out of control, let's put it that way, with regard to transitions and I have done as many subdivisions in Eagle as probably any other developer has, so I can say that with certainty. Having said that, the transition point, the half to one acre size lots and in this no step up requirement, is no longer allowed with this change. Now you get standardized subdivisions. You will have encouraging of flexibility do -- do better than the normal -- do better than code and we may give you the step up is the way I think it is today. Your staff can -- you have to ask and have it earned, I will say it that way, in order to have it received. And so I don't believe with this change no step up will be removed as an option for the development community. So, those are the changes; right? Borton: Madam Mayor? But -- unless I heard you wrong, the -- that process -- the step up -- you can get to the same end result, it just is an additional component of the application. A map amendment as well. Yorgason: Madam Mayor, Councilman Borton, are you suggesting do a map amendment to change the -- with an application process? Instead of doing a step up you actually have a secondary application to change the comp plan to be medium density or whatever the change might be; is that what you're saying is the option? Borton: Madam Mayor. If that's -- if I stated that correctly from staff's -- that might not be desired. It's expensive. There may be reasons not to do it, but it's not prohibited, it just requires some additional layers; is that fair? Yorgason: Madam Mayor and Councilman Borton, I understand now what you're saying as far as the path to get there. Of course, I have never done one. Borton: Okay. Yorgason: I have never done one. But I just see that as -- a half acre and a one acre lot in the view shed as part of -- I mean those are big deals and try to -- maximizing and optimizing words in this laundry list of wish list of things that are buffering between existing homes, I'm really concerned that -- Borton: I won't beat it to death. I really appreciate the discussion, but the devil's advocate on that is -- what in value is -- if something like this was the desire of the Council, right, the landowner and the development community wants to know it earlier the better. If this Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 64 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 59 of 101 is truly what a council likes to see, for example, in this area, that could be expressed as late as a City Council meeting, which isn't necessarily ideal. But the conversations that you just described where in a particular project -- here is a reason why, you know, there might be a logical basis for a half acre lot here and here, but not here, because of this topography and here is what we are doing, it seems like this would afford staff and the applicant that type of flexibility to have that conversation, where because we are using shoulds and they are suggestive elements, they are not mandatory requirements, if there is an opportunity to have the discussion early on in the process, the developer, landowner is not surprised when staff says let's talk about view shed, even if it's not defined, but that conversation early seems to be beneficial and it seems like, you know, to your point you articulated very well, good reasons why there might not be an acre, half acre lots throughout a particular project within the shaded area and staff made reference to the north rim doesn't have -- quite frankly and probably for good reason. It seems like the conversation you describe would happen with these amendments, just earlier on in the process, and doesn't necessarily hamstring or certainly limit developer's opportunity. Trying to accelerate the conversation. Yorgason: Madam Mayor and Councilman Borton, I hundred percent agree. I always prefer to have communication early on in the process to make sure that we are not wasting everybody's money and time in the process. If the Mayor and Council wants to protect the south rim -- and, of course, one of my questions is are we protecting from the view up or the view down. You know, are you protecting existing views of people that live on the rim looking out, which is the view shows -- suggested earlier about methods -- we are creating easements for these -- default easements -- maybe not a legal easement. In essence that's what you're granting without actually doing -- going through the benefit of the process of it. So, is it the view up or the view down -- you know, top down are we trying to protect, because those really are two different things. And so if there is a -- if this is something the city really wants to have, maybe it's a workshop, some discussion around it, I have a lot of experience in working through that. I know I'm not the only one in the development community. We have always reached out to work with the city if there is some goals the city wants to accomplish, but the way this is written today about maximizing and optimizing and having a wish list of things is concerning. Thank you. Borton: Okay. That's helpful. Thank you. De Weerd: I appreciate the -- the questions you asked, but also maybe you could give it also a little perspective over time, we have had developers consider doing developments in -- in some of these areas that do seem to have a higher value for those executive developments, because it does give greater amenities for the success of that kind of development and in asking developers why they don't do it is, because they want to ensure that their -- their developments are protected and those investments are secured. So, in setting a vision for these key areas that have some of those opportunities, I guess we want to articulate and make clear that here are the opportunities and your investment would be -- your investment would be protected to a certain degree and I guess your questions prompt certain things, but I -- I do think that the whole reason that we went down this road is to answer some of the questions that we continue to hear from the Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 65 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 60 of 101 residents in those areas, as well as those willing to invest in those areas, wanting to know their investments are secure. Yorgason: Madam Mayor, I wouldn't disagree with anything you have said. I think that all makes sense. Again, kind of how some of this is written is what's a little more concerning. De Weerd: And I get that from some of the questions you ask and I think those could be further explored and defined. So, thank you for your testimony. Yorgason: You're welcome. Any other questions if you have them. Stand for more questions. De Weerd: Thank you. Yorgason: Thank you. Coles: Next on the list was Susan Karnes in favor, wishing to testify. Karnes: Good evening. My name is Susan Karnes. I live at 5556 South Graphite Way. I'm here representing the Meridian Southern Rim Coalition. May I have ten minutes to represent the almost 300 signed petitions we have in support of these special amendments? De Weerd: Council, is there anyone in opposition of that? Cavener: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Cavener. Cavener: I guess I'm not opposed, but I -- I guess Mr. Yorgason was here representing an organization and wasn't afforded ten minutes, I -- if we would have granted ten minutes to Mr. Yorgason to represent the BCA, I would feel more comfortable about representing -- giving this group ten minutes. De Weerd: Well, Mr. Yorgason didn't ask for it. He certainly could have. And we spent probably more than ten minutes in the exchange. So, unless there is opposition I will go ahead and grant that. Karnes: Thank you. First of all, I want to thank Caleb and Brian and Council for the wonderful working relationship the coalition has enjoyed working on this special amendment and comp plan amendment. It's been a steep learning curve for us and we certainly came in with a long wish list and we received a great education in the difference between code and the comp plans and I appreciate that. This evening I'm here to speak specifically to these amendments. Just to give you context, there has been -- for those who belong to the Southern Rim Coalition, there has been, in their opinion, a clear record Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 66 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 61 of 101 of step ups along the southern rim. The residents of the southern rim invested in a lifestyle using the future land use map as their guide for --future land use map for their future land use. Many residents want and enjoy larger lots and residents of the southern rim do not perceive or accept R-4 as low density and I just present this as a point of information, Madam Mayor and Council, because low density, of course, includes R-2 and R-4, but for the existing neighborhood identity -- and I'm taking the swath along say Lake Hazel from east of Eagle on toward Meridian Road, a lot of those are rural or semi-rural large acreage parcel -- or larger estate lots and so for, you know, a density of four doesn't seem like low density to them. So, this is the future land use map and I am just going to point out to you the context of what I mean by why there is a perception of so many step-ups. Let's take this area outlined in red and you can see that it is, basically, Amity and Locust Grove, Eagle, Lake Hazel here and this is the way the future land use map looks. There is a lot of gray and there is a lot of low density and this is what people perceive to be the plan. This is what they have expected. This is on which they have based their buying decisions and, then, as you can see this is what comes along. There is a step up to R-4. There is a step up to R-4 and I won't agonized by going step by step, but this is the current situation and so the coalition, in listening to our membership base, acknowledged their concern about the great number of step ups and I think this vicinity is a nice portrayal of their concern. I want to make it clear we are not opposed to development. We are not opposed to high density development. We certainly recognize the city has a need for affordable housing. This discussion tonight is specifically about these special amendments. We have tried to work within the process. Unfortunately, the way that development applications work, residents are put in a more or less reactive and oppositional stance. We go to neighborhood meetings. We hear an application details and, then, we go to P&Z and we testify and we come to Council and we testify and we always I think come across as being negative, but we are the ones who have invested in this city. We are the ones who feel passionate about this is our home and we want to be heard and so I feel that in the context of all of these step ups many residents who belong to the coalition are beginning to believe that Council really doesn't want what they perceive is true low density, R-2, and they also desire a clear and updated vision for the southern rim that embraces its unique assets. We appreciate the fact there is going to be a new comp plan. We really appreciate the fact there is going to be a new future land use map. But we are in a race against time to protect what little we have left. So, we feel there is a rationale for approving these special amendments. As Councilman Borton has pointed out, there is a great deal of flexibility for individual discretion with applications that will come before you. A successful precedent is in place for the north rim. We feel the amendments comply with the Comprehensive Plan. We feel they comply with the future land use map and we feel strongly that development is outpacing the timeline and so we cannot wait for the new comp plan. We feel, however this may be imperfect, imperfect action is better than perfect inaction. We feel that this is not only about step ups, it's about also a critical shortage of large lots in Meridian's housing inventory and it also addresses the concerns and desires of Meridian constituents. Let's take a look at housing. This is an MLS report broken down by lot sizes. You can see the first column is under quarter acre and, then, quarter acre to half acre. These are single family homes sold from January 1st, 2017, to the present and you can see that we have an extraordinary amount, over 80 percent, on very small lots. You know, what people want to say lots we consider. Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 67 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 62 of 101 So, let's break it down. Those are existing homes. Let's look at what is new homes. We have, for the same time period in Meridian, according to MLS, 850 new home builds. Thirty-three percent of them were on less than .15 acre lots. Fifty-two percent were on up to a quarter acre. We have 15 percent under a half acre. Ninety-nine of those 129 homes are on less than a third acre. We have had five builds of a half acre to three- quarter acre, or less than one half of one percent of total new builds in Meridian. Three of those were in Sky Mesa and I will point out to you a portion of those lots is sloped and that slope is nonbuildable per a development agreement. So, they are not flat lots. And for three-quarters of an acre and greater there were no new homes built according to MLS data. We, in an effort to try and enumerate support and express it to Council, created two change.org petitions. The first one was approved special amendments protecting Meridian's southern rim. We have 256 that were signed online and this evening I presented to the city clerk 31 additional hard copies. We have heard from residents in central Meridian and north Meridian about their concerns about step ups and these are the kinds of comments that came with the petitions. Our children need space to play in their own backyard. Families want decent space with room to live without seeing, touching and hearing their neighbor. Please approve neighborhoods with half acres. The growth in Meridian is adversely affecting the way of life we have chosen to enjoy for many years. I'm signing this petition because no matter how hard we work and how many meetings we attend, our city representatives seem to always give developers step ups when it comes to what land is previously zoned. We have another petition. Limit residential density in Meridian. This was an effort not only by the Southern Rim Coalition, but other neighborhood groups across the city to try and measure residents' emotions and opinions concerning step ups. I wrote two letters to the editor. One was published in the Meridian Press. The other was instead of published as a letter to the editor was published as an op ed piece in the Idaho Statesman and as of this evening we have more than 900 of that petition signed. So, I think there is widespread support by your residence to protect and preserve and set aside low density and by low density I mean these half acre to one acre lots are generous lots. Again, here is someone that I think summarized quite nicely. Meridian is a desirable location for a number of reasons. The city is at a crossroads where growth will determine its future. The wonderful qualities that have attracted many to Meridian can be ruined if growth goes forward unchecked. So, our rationale is we feel these amendments reflect key community values. Managing growth to achieve high quality development ensure a good quality of life for all current and future residents, protecting our self identity. Yes. Okay. De Weerd: So, Council, any questions? Palmer: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Palmer. Palmer: Madam Mayor. Mrs. Karnes, thanks for coming and being as active a participant in the process as actually probably more than anybody in the couple of years that I have served here. So, appreciate it. I'm curious. How many projects have you come and testified against in Meridian? Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 68 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 63 of 101 Karnes: I have come and testified against East Ridge Estates and I came and testified not against, but for revisions to Sky Mesa. That's my memory. Two. Palmer: Madam Mayor. And I remember also the Winco project in north Meridian. Karnes: The coalition testified. Palmer: How many of the projects that you have testified against have passed? Karnes: Well, there -- I mean Linder Crossing, the coalition testified for certain revisions. It's still an active application. East Ridge Estates was approved. Sky Mesa East was approved. Palmer: And -- Madam Mayor? Do you feel like Council listens to what people say, what testimony is brought? Do we -- do you feel like we actually consider those things or that these protections are necessary to stave off the evil City Council? Karnes: Madam Mayor, Councilman Palmer, I think that there is a substantial -- probably majority portion of our membership that feels that Council has not really listened to residents, that Council favors developers. I think some of that is misguided or misperceived, but it is difficult to not be able to rebut rebuttals, because sometimes there are misstatements of fact that cannot be corrected by us. It's difficult to see a developer questioned about a certain street configuration we have requested and to hear the developer answer that it can't be done, knowing that less than a quarter mile away there is a street climbing the exact same slope and the same grade and that developer's word is taken as expert witness. It's discouraging that Council cannot come out and familiarize itself with these settings, that we have to kind of paint a picture for you and I think that we hear it's very difficult to come and speak in three minute increments. The individuals. A lot of people don't understand the process either and that's a big part of our mission. So, I would say you have a mixed record. As far as I'm concerned, I have found Council to be very accessible. I have had wonderful meetings with individual Council Members. Staff has been stellar in every way and very even handed. I mean I don't feel they favor us. I don't think they favor developers. They just lay it out. So, my personal experience has been positive. But discouraging at times. Yeah. I mean I think there are tweaks that could have and should have been made to developments I have spoken about that, you know, was discouraging to see that they were approved without perhaps a little more thought and research and investigation. Palmer: Madam Mayor, if I may. And if we could pull up where it shows the hashed out -- either of the rims. So, my question for you is into the specifics of it, where we both live in the rim area. I am trying to remember exactly where your house is. I'm sure you're on the top. I'm down on the bottom and the other side of the tracks, the other side of the canal. Karnes: Yeah. I have been peering into your backyard. Oh. Okay. Go ahead. Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 69 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 64 of 101 Palmer: And so my question for you is including this where -- you know, it's half a mile wide, it's a quarter mile on the bottom of it, often below the canal. What are your -- what are your thoughts on the necessity of extending this to the -- below the rim? Karnes: I think there is an incredible need for true -- what I would call true low density, R-2 lots, in this community. I think that if the city does not set aside and protect large lots, then, you're going to -- as Councilmember Bird said in a hearing -- become known as an R-8 city and I think we are much more diverse than that and I think there is clear language in our comp plan that allows for estate lots, but I don't see that they are being preserved or the land being protected and -- and that goes back to your question about do the residents think they are being treated fairly. There is the perception -- when the comp plan says Council can approve step ups, we are relying on your discretion. We are relying on your judgment. We are relying on your -- your forethought and your vision. We are not the only stakeholders. You know, there are a lot of stakeholders. But the residents feel they are important stakeholders. They want to be heard. Palmer: Madam Mayor? So, below the rim you feel that it's necessary that the half to one acre lot size would be preserved below the rim? Karnes: We would rely on Council's judgment. I mean as has been pointed out, developers can come forward with an application and establish a true and compelling need or necessity or reason for putting higher density in. You know, we would rely on our elected officials to make those judgments. Palmer: Thanks. De Weerd: Any other questions? Thank you. Karnes: Thank you. Coles: Christie Herwy signed up in favor, not wishing to testify. Sam Karnes also signed up in favor, not wishing to testify. And Sally Reynolds signed up in favor, wanting to provide testimony. De Weerd: Thanks for sticking with us. If you will state your name and address for the record. Reynolds: Sally Reynolds and I live at 1166 West Bacall Street and that's in Meridian, Idaho. So, although, as you know, I'm in the northern part of Meridian, we also feel that we want to preserve Meridian's unique identity and so I'm going to be speaking more from the point of a real estate professional. I have had my license for about five years. And there is -- this area has exploded so -- so much. I would say that 75 percent of my clientele is from out of state over the last couple of years. I won't say which state. I'm sure we can only guess. But it's from out of state and particularly the people who come here, it's really interesting, but they -- they cite all the reasons that we love Meridian why they come here. Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 70 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 65 of 101 They say lower cost of living. Less traffic. Less pollution. Friendly political environment, believe it or not -- as far as they think that this is what they used to have where they used to live 40 years ago and that's why they are drawn to it. In the same vein, these people come to me and they say we want a five acre lot, because that's what they envision Idaho as being. We want an acre lot. I have had some clients for over a year to two years trying to find them large parcels of land. I have somebody I have been working with for a year right now and all -- and they just -- a quarter acre, because there being such large homes, even on a quarter acre -- he says I can still see my neighbor brushing their teeth. So, there is definitely a demand for it and in the southern area we actually have preliminarily started a subdivision, which will be coming in a few years. We would like to do one acre. Lots by word of mouth. This already has 75 percent of the lots reserved by word of mouth only. So, there is a need for it and I -- I would say that this is the right place for it. Idaho's topography in this area is very unique. When people come and they -- say they are from Washington, they are from Colorado, they are from California and they say we want a view, right, because they want a view. They are used to that in Washington and Colorado and California. There are as little hills in their topography -- they have -- used -- that they are used to and I say, okay, well, your choices are the northern rim, Eagle, you can go up to El Paseo in Boise. We have got the southern rim and maybe if you go out west a little bit those are your views and you can see that with all of the water that developers are putting in, because they also want a water view, if that makes sense. So, this is a wonderful area to keep -- to preserve these estate lots and like Councilman Borton said, there is latitude within these amendments to give you discretion if you feel that a step up is really warranted, which there is a history of doing in the past. You have done it. You can do it again. To Councilman Palmer really quick, I do think that Meridian city listens to residents. The one thing that I would say is that not -- the 300 foot notice there, just for the reason that you extended this hearing, 300 feet you do listen to the people who are here, but sometimes people don't get the notice and that was one case with us. We went before Planning and Zoning and Commissioner Bernt was actually at that. He can testify that a developer stood up and we stood up and we were against him and he -- we had no idea and I went up to him afterwards and I said I am so sorry we blindsided you. I just had -- we had no idea this application was coming in and he said, oh, yeah, no. So, we completely collaborated. He redid his application. It's beautiful. We supported it. It was great. But, you know what, my house was just outside that radius. So, I think -- I think you guys -- I think you do listen to the people who are here. Thank you. Bernt: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Bernt. Bernt: I got a question for you. I'm glad you're here. Nice to see you, Sally. Reynolds: Sure. Bernt: You being a real estate professional, just -- just a question. I hear a lot -- the demand for larger lots, estate size lots, half acre lots, acre lots plus. If the demand were such, why aren't developers developing half acre or acre lots if it's such a demand? If Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 71 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 66 of 101 you -- like, for example, if I were a developer and I knew that there was, you know, the possibility that you could develop a parcel of land and 75 percent of the lots are sold, why aren't they building them? Reynolds: Yeah. So -- okay. So, I'm not a developer, so you can -- you know, you can ask a developer. Here is my -- here is my best shot at that from what I know of -- from what I know. I would venture to guess that the more high density you have the more profit per lot you have. Bernt: Right. I get that. Reynolds: And then -- right. And so if they are not building it -- so, they -- they will have more land and be able to -- to do that. Bernt: So -- Reynolds: But it artificially also inflates the price of the land. Bernt: Right. Reynolds: I mean if you support free market. Bernt: So, I mean I totally get how that works, but my -- I mean -- but if you really had -- and I'm not trying to be argumentative nor do I feel this personally, I'm just trying to wrap my arms around it, because it doesn't make sense to me. But -- but let's just say that those who -- those customers who would be able to afford those large acres, I mean they would -- they would -- they would pay more for. Reynolds: Right. Bernt: And if they are willing to pay more for them, then, I -- I just don't understand why -- I just don't see -- I guess from an outsider looking in I just don't see the demand. What you're saying and what other people are saying I don't see there is a huge demand. Reynolds: So, if they were out there and they could charge more for them, that's not saying that they could charge more for them on par with the lots that they could charge at higher density. Yes, they could charge more, but the market price will only demand so much. Bernt: Right. Reynolds: So, you're not going to get on par and that's why when developers are up here and they are saying it won't pencil in, that's what they are talking about. Bernt: Right. Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 72 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 67 of 101 Reynolds: They are saying I couldn't -- you know, it's -- and in the end the people who walk away are the landowners, they have made more on their land, because they got a step up to approve a bigger profit and, then, the developers got a bigger profit and then -- and the land actually wasn't worth that much at the time and so it also is an artificial inflation of -- I mean just from an economic standpoint alone and, then, housing prices go up, because they have to charge more and, then, we are just in a really bad cycle. So -- yeah. And one other -- if I could address one more thing Councilman Palmer said. On the lower rim, if that's okay. Okay. Just the lower rim protections, they would like to see their -- one example is Reflection Ridge. It came in and all the houses since are so close together, you can't see the lower rim anymore and so it just took that beautiful landscape away from lower Meridian, because the houses are so close together, so -- Palmer: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Palmer. Palmer: So, I live in Green Valley. So, I look up at Reflection Ridge and I'm sure I will get eye rolls, people won't believe me, but -- so, when I take people on tours of my Corey Barton home, I -- I show them the view out my back window from my bedroom at Reflection Ridge, because it is far cooler looking to me, then, out the front towards the foothills, because they are the most beautiful homes built there in Reflection Ridge and every home that is in the elevated positions of Reflection Ridge -- now there is six smaller ones out on the bottom, they are closer together that aren't really on the rim, they are just on the canal. But the ones that are actually on any bit of the, every single one of those has a view. Every single one of them. Because the way that they built it -- and they are far from half acre lots. Reynolds: Yeah. And they -- and they did. I mean they maximized that view for all of them, which they did beautifully, it's just us looking up at from the distance, it looks very. different. So, I'm glad you have a good view of it. That's wonderful. I'm glad you enjoyed that view. So, the only question the coalition had -- and, staff, if they could look into it was how many acres does this -- that are not developed does this affect and so I don't know the answer to that, but it might be something that Council wants to take a look at. De Weerd: Thank you. Bernt: Thank you, Sally. Reynolds: Uh-huh. De Weerd: And, Mr. Bernt, I would love to answer your question just from the feedback I get is you don't see larger acre -- or larger lots because they want to make sure their investment is protected. For example, we approved a half acre lot subdivision up north of Lochsa Falls -- no, not Lochsa Falls, but Saguaro and, then, just to the east of it was proposed an R-8. Fortunately it was -- it was denied, but they went for the step up and -- and no one lived in those half acre lots yet, but that -- that impacts investment and they Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 73 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 68 of 101 have no guarantees that that's not going to happen. So, that's why you don't see a whole lot of large acre lots. Mr. Yorgason, do you want additional time? Because Mr. Cavener did make sense in saying you do represent an organization, so I would offer you some additional time if you had additional comments. Yorgason: Madam Mayor, for the record Dave Yorgason. I am a land developer. I can answer that question all day long if you want to talk about land developers and why we do and don't do certain things. I'm also a licensed realtor, just like the other testimony. I can tell you that as of a week ago -- I haven't looked since then -- there was only two lots in all of Meridian multiple listing that are less than 100,000 dollars, regardless of size. There is just a lot shortage. I can talk about the market until the sunrise. I'm not going to do that. I feel like every time I saw this presentation of ten minutes I just couldn't sit any longer. I have more knowledge in my head than I can stand, probably, just because of my experience and my presentations of economic analysis to the building community, which I did just recently. So, my only testimony -- additional to what you just asked for additional time, is I'm just here to stand and answer your questions. I think I made my points. I'm not going to ask any further prepared testimony, but I appreciate your willingness to grant that. De Weerd: Any additional questions? Cavener: Madam Mayor? Palmer: Madam Mayor? Seniority. De Weerd: Oh, is that the -- an older guy. Cavener: I love the respect I get. De Weerd: Mr. Cavener. Cavener: Thank you. De Weerd: The senior guy. Cavener: Thank you, Madam Mayor. Dave, the Mayor kind of shared a perspective as to why we don't see large acre lots in Meridian. Do you agree, agree and provide additional thoughts? Disagree? I'm curious from your perspective the reason. Yorgason: Madam Mayor and Council Member Cavener, it's my experience -- and go and include my father's experience back in the '70s, I can add a lot of years' experience to this comment. A two acre lot does not sell for twice the price of a one acre lot. A one acre lot does not sell for twice the price of a half acre lot. Neither is a half acre lot twice the price of a quarter acre lot. Your bump ups are anywhere between ten and 20 percent -- maybe 25. That's the most you are going to get in those increments. So, if you have twice the size of land, you go from a quarter acre to a half acre -- I will just start with that Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 74 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 69 of 101 one. A quarter acre lot today sells for -- I'm just going to make up a number -- a hundred thousand dollars. You don't sell that half acre for two hundred thousand. You might get it for a hundred and a quarter. You're not going to get it for 150. Now, as I say that, that's general market conditions. There are all kinds of factors that go into lot prices. I'm actually aware of Sally's development. I have seen the signage out there. I'm masterfully -- I have done lot reservations for a lot of years. I know how to get lot reservations. But tying up a piece of property with lot reservation actually is nonrefundable and so it's not really much of a commitment. Though I don't want to discount what she said. I do know there is interest in larger lots. I can also tell you that that trend is declining due to changes in demographics in our society. Increases in millennials and baby boomers want to down size. So, we are seeing a less -- and that trend will continue for at least the next five to seven years, by the way, just due to demographic changes in society. And so there is a demand, but not for twice the price and not for even 50 percent more of the price for larger lots. That's my experience. And I have only sold, for the record, over 3,000 lots in my career. Palmer: That's a lot of lots. Yorgason: Thank you. And they are all medium to high end. None of them are low end developments. De Weerd: Well, maybe anecdotal, but I do know that the business that my husband is in just added a whole bunch of executives and they are living in Eagle, because they can't find a decent size lot in Meridian. Yorgason: And Madam Mayor -- sorry. De Weerd: And that's hard to accept. Yorgason: Madam Mayor, I'm not disagreeing with any of what you just said. I agree with what you said. I know there is a desire. The question is where should they be? I know the comment was made just early -- I made the comment -- the reference trying to squeeze my testimony into just a few minutes, but if we are trying to protect the views, just those folks that live on the rim and grant them a view shed easement or corridor, whatever you want to call it, that's one thing. If it's within the low density areas, specifically up in the upper rim area where it may be more clustered together, if that's what the city wants, I'm here to say I will -- and I know there is others will work with you to help accomplish that, because that's a vision, a goal of the city and try to enable that. But the lower land areas, off the rim, really struggling with that one. Just saying -- but the upper areas where there is some pocketed areas, meaning low density already defined on the comp plan, I see some value there. I really do. Especially as there is demand -- you're hearing from others outside of the building community. This is a demand. I get that. So, again, I'm struggling with how it's written, but I see that maybe some intention or some direction where the city wants to go and maybe some of the context is there, but the way it's written and the wish list of things and the ands -- requirements, I get the vision, their goal, ideas, but to an applicant and to the community who looks at these things and to Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 75 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 70 of 101 staff who relies upon these things, they tend to become strong statements in a staff report that's used, then, as -- as discussion. Borton: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Borton. Borton: Dave, did I hear you say that you were, then, perhaps supportive of the rim view designation, but it should be of a different dimension and more narrow? Yorgason: Madam Mayor, Council Member Borton, this is me speaking, not the BCA. But as me speaking, because I have worked -- and I will just give you one anecdotal. When I went through and approved the subdivision which is now known as Ashbury, I went to all the backyard neighbors and talked to every one of the neighbors in their backyards and in their homes and said what do you want and as I talked to them and tried to see what transition is appropriate -- and this is one of several that I have done, by the way. Once you get past the first home you can't see past that first home, whether it's flat or even tiered down, because it's just the way it works, especially with the bigger yards, they are even further back behind. As the whole -- if you want to call it the north rim, Eagle might call it the south rim, whatever you want to call it, I guess, as that all developed -- Banbury is what started the whole thing up there and it was several years later before there was an actual other subdivision called Wedgewood and Castlebury and Spyglass, which we did Castlebury, by the way, and we just transitioned or worked through the process, but it took a long time for the market to be willing to pay for that price for a lot. Those are all -- most all of them were below a hundred thousand, by the way. Just perspective. And so clustered areas are -- are appropriate. You have already defined them, frankly, in your comp plan as low density. And maybe the step up is the real beef that we are talking about, the other two pieces of requiring the half acre to one acre or requiring the -- the view sheds they talked about, maximizing, optimizing. Those are -- those are the bigger hurdles as far as being wide open and be honest with you there. Borton: Okay. Yorgason: Hope that helps. Borton: It does. Madam Mayor? So, it's -- your last comment, it sounds like the -- the least concerning list is the -- the elimination staff level -- to the step up component -- not the amendment that would come with it. But the -- excuse me -- the view corridor, it's dimensions in all our -- at least I initially saw them as illustrative, somewhat like the big brown circle that we used for the neighborhood centers; right? Just to kind of give us and everyone a general idea of the -- De Weerd: Or park. Yorgason: As you should have. Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 76 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 71 of 101 Borton: Yeah. You know, that's kind of how the -- Yorgason: Madam Mayor, Council Member Borton -- and maybe it's shifting entirely up on the upper rim and maybe it's not quite as wide or -- I'm not saying I have the answer right now, but I could see some -- maybe some analysis by staff or existing landowners might be appropriate to kind of figure that out, but that's -- that's -- when you start talking about transition I think that's been my experience in the half dozen or more that I have done. Hope that helps. Borton: Okay. It does. Thank you. Yorgason: Thanks. De Weerd: Any further questions? Thank you, Dave. Yorgason: You're welcome. Thank you again. Coles: No other sign-ups, Madam Mayor. De Weerd: Okay. The only one in the room who hasn't said anything. Welcome forward. Welcome up. Welcome -- well, welcome. Come on down. Conger: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, Jim Conger. 4824 West Fairview Avenue. So, kind of just following up on what David indicated -- and I will -- kind of the lower area for certain we don't quite understand. I could be here speaking on behalf of my streetlight contractor, he owns ten acres just west -- between Locust Grove and Eagle Road on Amity. He's directly across the street from Hayden Homes and, then, Hubble Homes on Estancia. So, his development -- you know, he's farming. There is no plans that he will open it in the near future. But taking a look at that property you would have 80 percent, if not 90 percent typical development, which would be deserving of Amity Road at that point across from the Estoncias in the world right there. And, then, in the back part, which you would never see, because right -- the landscape buffers that Dave Yorgason kind of indicated, you won't see past Amity Road when you're driving, you will have single and two story homes and 70 foot wide lots or probably 8,000 square foot lots or 7,500 and, then, you would have this half acre or acre lot requirements on the back three acres of the ten acre parcel. So, I think what that comes full circle to is -- is back to the low density designation and in, really, the affected area. So, the low density, which is the three dwelling units -- and I think it's important -- a slide you saw earlier from Mrs. Karnes was the R-4 and the R-8 as she was popping them up across there and I know in our last public hearing we had a long little first session and Caleb did -- what is the comp plan. It drives the density. The zoning doesn't drive the density, it drives the land use and the use -- the specific use. So, when you're seeing the R-8s and the R-4s, that doesn't necessarily mean that changed the comp plan of three units -- of the driving acreage per acre. So, I think that's a little -- a little misleading. But if we are talking half acre lots and acre lots, obviously, a half acre lot at most you will be at one and a half units per acre. So, if that's what I'm hearing tonight more than the viewshed, is are there Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 77 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 72 of 101 pockets that we can have larger homes. You heard Dave say he would sit on something. I would sit on a committee. What it feels to me like is instead of putting a broad brush, which, for the record, is -- what you have in front of us -- and I'm just talking the south rim -- is 6.3 miles long and it's 2,400 -- 2,380 acres. Yes, it's not all affected. Then why are we putting a paint brush over it? How many acres is it and are they the appropriate acres? So, is there a way for us in the Comprehensive Plan that's going to start being worked on, to actually get the city's vision and dreams for certain areas. There is lots of us that would spend many afternoons driving with staff around to understand which parcels matter. But why would we simply take a paint brush over 2,400 acres, which probably 70 percent of it's not affected anyhow, and let's create a zone instead -- or in the comp plan, it's not a zone, of ultra low density, which is your one and a half and under, if that's the desire. That, then, you would have to look a homeowner -- or a landowner in the eyes when you're -- when you're taking the land down, which may be what everybody does and that's what a comp plan is for, but the giant paint brush -- De Weerd: Mr. Conger -- Conger: Yeah. I'm done. I was taking Dave's -- I was taking Dave's -- rest of his two minutes, but -- yeah. As far as impact is schools, police, fire, all our great things, parks, they will benefit with the building permits. It's not the opposite. Bigger lots aren't helping the sewer treatment plant and they aren't helping schools and parks, period, to that. That's it. De Weerd: Okay. Any questions from Council? Thank you. Oh, yes. I was mistaken. He wasn't the last one. You are. Yearsley: Let's hope. Steven Yearsley. 2961 East Lucca, Meridian. I -- I kind of had issue -- well, let me back up. I find it kind of interesting that the previous application that we just heard is within this southern rim -- southern rim boundary, but yet we weren't too concerned about the view corridors. Not that it matters. But I find it interesting -- half acre lots are a large lot. We had a lot of land -- I thought when I was grown up I wanted -- and I have -- you know, I struggle to maintain it just at that point. And so I think I struggled initially why people wanted smaller lots and, then, I saw neighbors struggling to maintain their half acre lots, just because they didn't want to. I think with this -- we ought to consider, instead of add a condition from -- let's try to bridge that range just a little bit better to -- to make it a little bit more palatable with that. Also in 2040 they are figuring over a million people. I think a million three, which is about to double the size of the valley, which is hard to fathom. This southern area that we are looking at in the future land use map is so -- is highly under representative of what that density will end up being. I was -- and I was critical of it, then, that the Kuna and -- potentially being another Eagle Road if it's not managed correctly. You know, given the growth that we are anticipating to see, I think you're going to have a lot more density out there than -- than people imagine and so making the future land use map for utilities is going to be -- and making sure that we have that and I think trying to reserve specific areas in that area is -- is good. I talked to a friend of mine, they were looking at some potential banker lots just south of Eagle -- south of -- and they were not wanting to put septic -- they wanted to put septic systems Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 78 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 73 of 101 in a lot, which at that point he's like -- isn't worth it for an acre lot. So, I think the cost becomes prohibitive for a lot of people on one acre lots. So thank you. De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. Council? Palmer: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Palmer. Palmer: Let's chat about it, uh? I think his initial point was -- was important -- the previous application where there was -- clearly we weren't sure, but there was clear opinions that there was no view in that particular piece of property that was included in there. But there is -- there is clearly properties within the -- as been said, the paint brush stroke, that half acre, one acre, attempts to preserve view, any -- any number of the things that we are trying to fix, aren't going to be solved or don't need to be solved or there wouldn't be any kind of issue, but because it got lumped into to the -- hey, you fit within that half mile width, there you have it. So, I think that we can all agree that there is something that can be done, but I feel like this is not the best mechanism. To Mr. Conger's point about let's change the map, let's go in, go find particular parcels or we can say, hey, Mr. Property Owner, this is going to affect you, here is an idea we have got, here is what your neighbors are looking at, wanting to have half acre to an acre lots here on the property that you own, thinking about changing the map for you, what do you think and let us know. I think it is a much more appropriate method of making this decision than, hey, you're near the rim, above it or below it, you're in. I'm sure I will have more later, but I'd like to hear someone else, too. Bernt: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Bernt. Bernt: I mean I would be -- I would be open to the discussion of -- so, I don't remember who said it earlier, but someone said are we protecting, you know, the view up or the view down and I thought that was a pretty, you know, interesting statement and a discussion that we may need to have, especially in that southern exhibit where -- I mean that's a -- that's a lot of land that's being protected. You know, I'm not saying that's a good or bad thing, I just think that's something we need to talk about, you know. Are we going to protect -- are we going to talk about the actual rim or -- or, you know, all of that area below the rim as well. I think it's something we need to talk about. Borton: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Borton. Borton: Really valuable discussion. Great considerations I think that have helped shine a light on -- at least try and focus the discussion. The way it's left with me is -- is I would support adopting tonight the -- the administrative changes and the ECR, the existing Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 79 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 74 of 101 conditions report, and, then, the -- within the south rim area, the one sentence prohibition -- the addition to number three that prohibits the automatic step up. The remainder of the language in Chapter 3, page 21, as well as the goals, I think there has been a lot of vague, legitimate concerns brought up with how you define it, how you apply it, as much as it would be nice to be -- make it valuable and clear to landowners and developers and neighbors, I don't think we are there yet with this particular language. So, it's -- it's one small component of the southern rim as depicted. I'm not as concerned with the -- the broad brush paint brush dimensions of it, because it doesn't -- it's not a zoning designation and it's similar to the dots and other kind of broad brush applications within our future land use map. So, with that understanding that's one provision I would be comfortable with acting on that I -- Bernt: Which one is that? Borton: The last portion of the first bullet in Chapter 3, page 21, that includes in the north and southern rims as depicted in Appendix E where no step up is allowed. That goes along with the discussion starting with staff's comments that, again, it's not a zoning designation and it's not an absolute prohibition on different land uses within those two rims. It does focus the attention a little bit more -- there is specific grounds that would warrant it. Palmer: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Borton, are you -- okay. Mr. Palmer. Palmer: Madam Mayor. And Mr. Borton, I think putting in the -- the no step up requirement could be -- better accomplish when an individual parcel or property is -- is discussed and sectioned out for setting that kind of thing up, as opposed to including across, again, the whole paint brush, because there very well may be dozens or hundreds of acres within that that would make perfect sense for the step up without having to go through the traditional expense and process and time of changing the map. But to make sure that those properties where we are saying, okay, this is going to be the larger parcel situation, those are the ones where we are also saying no step up there. But any of that kind of thing -- the whole thing. Cavener: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Cavener. Cavener: A couple thoughts and -- first, this is why I love public hearings. You know, I'm sure like many of you I spend my weekends engrossed in this information and, you know, we more or less have some thoughts about maybe where I'm leaning before we get to City Council and, then, we hear from different stakeholders here in the public that provide very competent testimony that influences and brings perspective maybe that I didn't -- didn't have before I arrived here this evening. I tend to agree with Council Member Borton's recommendation, specifically to the step up piece. I think that our rims are an Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 80 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 75 of 101 asset and perhaps a higher threshold is warranted in those areas. I appreciate Mr. Yorgason's comments tonight about the view shed and specifically I think on the southern rim, looking -- I guess for that -- for the -- on the southern part of the southern rim looking up, what threshold that has to -- to be protected. I think clearly having our southern rim residents be able to have an unobstructed view of the foothills, likewise, our residents on the northern rim being able to have a view of the river and the foothills when that makes sense, I -- I guess I'm not quite completely sold on the inverse of that and I don't know if the appropriate mechanism is further conversation. I think it was suggested at a workshop session around. Maybe some of these elements. I would maybe be opposed to that -- or I would be most likely supportive of something along those lines. I think for the most part what staff has presented for us today makes a lot of sense with maybe a couple of tweaks if they can't be resolved this evening, could be resolved at a closer date and time. Palmer: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Palmer. Palmer: Could we get the rims again? So, Madam Mayor, this is what, you know, we have been staring at and how can we look at the lower portions of this six mile stretch below the canal and say there is -- there is no way anywhere in there a step up wouldn't be assumed that, yeah, that makes sense. Cavener: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Cavener. Cavener: If I may. So, I -- I guess Council -- I would be happy to answer that question from my perspective and I think that it's probably inappropriate for us to make a broad generalization based on a -- on a map that's here in front of us. The fact of the matter is -- is that the rims are an important amenity in our community, that's something I believe, that's something we have heard from our citizens and I think requiring a higher threshold makes sense for these particular areas, in my opinion. Bernt: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Bernt. Bernt: Does that include -- are you saying below the rim as well, this -- this big, you know, area of land below what would be considered below the rim? Cavener: Madam Mayor? I think it's a two-step process, really, for me. I think that we as Council need to be more willing to address it when a step up is requested that's really benefiting our community. I can appreciate the rhetoric that comes from some of our citizens believing that it's automatically considered and on our discussion many times at the Council level there isn't -- there isn't a lot of debate about if a step up is warranted. So, I can appreciate where our citizens are coming from. So, I think, one, Council needs Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 81 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 76 of 101 to be more vigilant and explain to the public why we are supportive of a step up as a whole. As it relates to -- specifically to the rim, again, I think that on both the north and the south side, because it is an important amenity, that having an extra step or a higher threshold, as I mentioned, is warranted and makes sense for those particular areas. Like I think we would if we had other assets in our community, like you have seen in other municipalities across the country, it's a unique geographical amenity and should require a higher threshold. De Weerd: Well, certainly, Council, you can act on all of the areas or one, two, or three and if you need further definition of some of the items, any -- any detail to staff would be helpful to know what to work further on or we can bring back additional information. Looking for your direction. Palmer: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Palmer. Palmer: I think one final pitch for the -- the lack of information we have about the space within that. The hashed area is -- you know, without us having an opportunity to look at even a Google Earth view of close up hashed out of, you know, the whole space, it's -- it's too hard to put a restriction on those properties or make it more expensive or harder to develop on those properties without really knowing what exactly is there. I mean at the quarter mile from the ledge -- just because you happen to be within a quarter mile of the ledge you have got additional restrictions on your property on what you can do with it, so -- not because you -- hey, you have got -- you have got a property with a view, you have got property with the right slope where you're in -- in a good position to be able to develop that in a certain way, it's because you're within a quarter mile of the ledge that that's what we gave you. Cavener: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Cavener. Cavener: I don't know if there was a question there or just more waxing poetic, which I appreciate, even at 10:15 at night. I think Council Member Palmer, though, brings up a good reason and maybe this will kind of lend to a question that I have for legal. Councilman Palmer brought up some good points that is worthy of further discussion and, again, maybe additional stakeholder testimony or feedback. I think it sounds like that we are -- it sounds like we are all supportive of the existing -- approving the existing conditions report and the administrative changes as a whole. I guess the question for Legal is can we -- can we separate at least those two out and, then, make a motion to approve both of those and, then, we could have a further discussion about the third piece related to amendments after -- Nary: You know, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, Council Member Cavener, yes, you can -- you can do that. Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 82 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 77 of 101 Cavener: To maybe move us along, I think we will keep our conversations going, we can continue to wax poetic if needed, but I would move that we would approve the ECR and the proposed administrative changes. Borton: Second. De Weerd: I have a motion and a second. Any discussion? Cavener: Madam Mayor? And I'm talking a lot. My apologies. I just wanted to add one thing, because I didn't get a chance to -- to touch on the ECR and the administrative changes. I just wanted to commend Brian for his great work. I had the opportunity over Christmas break to read through that and take it and show it to some other elected officials in municipalities in Idaho and across the west and specifically the ECR was something that many of them just were fascinated with. Thanks for the digital copy. I have got it laminated and hung up in my office. I think it's something that really you should be proud of, Brian. So, thank you for your great work on that. I didn't get a chance to say it earlier. I didn't think we would still be here at 10:15, but I think you have had -- or done a remarkable job of representing our community with that. Bernt: Do you really have it laminated and stuck on your wall? Cavener: Yeah. It's great. Have you seen it? It's amazing. Sorry, Madam Mayor. De Weerd: It's -- it's good to get excited about. Okay. A motion is in order. Mr. Clerk. Roll call: Borton, yea; Milam, absent; Cavener, yea; Palmer, yea; Little Roberts, absent; Bernt, yea. De Weerd: All ayes. MOTION CARRIED: FOUR AYES. TWO ABSENT. Palmer: Madam Mayor, I had a question at this time. No statement. How would it work in -- Councilman Borton and Cavener's scenario if your property was split -- your half outside the quarter acre and half inside, will there have to -- would you have to -- I don't know how this works. Do you have to split your property to do something with it or just make sure that your project is half compliant with the rim issue and half not or -- what do you do there? Hood: Madam Mayor, I will take that one. So, as was stated before, there is language actually in the beginning of the Comprehensive Plan and particularly as it talks about the future land use map, it does not follow property lines. So, there is some flexibility to slightly tweak those designations even within there. And, again, as was mentioned, the cross-hatched or rim area, if it shows up, isn't even on the future land use maps. So, it - - we define it, so there is some definition to it, but it's not a hard and fast -- if you have 51 Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 83 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 78 of 101 percent and 49 percent -- we work with that property owner to go, okay, we are going to apply this to you here or, no, we are not. So, without an exact scenario I can't tell you the answer, but the short answer is the director has discretion in that to say, yes, for this reason we are applying this, even if it's a small portion of your property this applies to you, because it's all on a bluff or whatever the case may be. So, there is some -- again, this is the higher level -- it's just a guide -- I shouldn't say just. It's a guide. It's not prescriptive. So, there is some leeway in there to be convinced one way or the other if it should apply or not. Palmer: Madam Mayor? Caleb, so, then, would finding individual properties and designating them as that be a simpler situation than leaving it up to the director? Hood: Madam Mayor, Council Palmer -- we have a new director. So, on the back end it probably would be, but identifying those and defining those -- I mean that sounds like a chore to me. So, we could do it that way or come up with slopes -- and I know Boise -- well, they used to anyways. You know, ten percent slopes are not -- that's how this applies, when your property has slopes in excess of this, you're classified as that, and here is how you -- you know, when these types of policies apply. It's not a real good fit for Meridian, at least not right now. We are not saying we couldn't go there and do that or some version what you're talking about. Honestly, I think if this were to be applied common sense will play into it to some degree. I mean just -- if I can, Madam Mayor, I think this answers the question, but to use your last scenario about below the Phyllis Canal, half acre lots, there is really two things going on here. It's not just about the views, it's about having larger lots and even though -- if they don't have the view, it's still about preserving larger lots somewhere. At least that's some of the rationale here. So, again, there is some discretion when we look at it and go, okay, well, what's going on next to you? Are they R-8 lots or are they R-2 lots? Or RUT lots in the county still and that transition. Was it an appropriate transition. So, I know I didn't explicitly answer your -- because I really can't. What's easier? I don't know. We could do it that way. I don't know that I like that idea of lot by lot, identifying them. But it's possible. Palmer: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Palmer. Palmer: So, then, Caleb, or -- if I understand -- so, if there was a property that was sandwiched between two R-8s next to the apartments, right at the bottom of the rim, then, it might be a scenario where the director might be asked to say, okay, you might be 50 feet -- long way from a quarter mile -- you might be 50 feet from the edge of the rim, but common sense would say this doesn't make sense for half acre lots, so we are going to let it anyway, even though it's well within the quarter. Hood: So -- Madam Mayor. Here is how that plays out. Yes -- essentially yes. Although staff still calls out the policy and says, listen, this property is technically within this area. However, because of the other circumstances being surrounded by apartments and R-8, we don't think this should apply in this case. Ultimately it's your call. You can say, no, it Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 84 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 79 of 101 says that we want half and it makes sense to us for some other reasons, but -- not just the director, by the way, it's usually the assigned staff, but we consult each other. But that's kind of how it plays out. De Weerd: And maybe there is a better place for it. We -- we do have a motion on the floor. We don't? Did we already vote on it? Oh, my God. Nary: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: I think I need to go to bed. Yes, Mr. Nary. Nary: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, so, I'm a lawyer, so I don't really wax poetic. But to answer maybe Council Member Palmer's earlier question, if you were to agree to what is on the screen, these three changes, one being the south area, no step was allowed language, that doesn't change anybody's property right, because you have no ordinance in effect to affect that. If you want to change that language in the comp plan to say no step up is allowed or no step up was allowed unless authorized by code, no -- or step up -- no step up is encouraged unless authorized by code, that, then, pushes it to where the code, which is really where the rubber meets the road, that's what the court evaluates. Your code follows your comp plan. The process in your code is what the next conversation is going to be. Just think of it as when we have sometimes things that are staff level or director level approval, we sometimes have things that simply require Council's finding and approval and occasionally we require a variance. So, they -- as a specific requirement. Council Member Borton raised it earlier. Do you do a comp plan amendment or is it something less than that. So, that's, really, the next step, which isn't before you tonight. So, all they are asking -- and if you're not comfortable that this language is really where you want, you want something a little softer, maybe clearer, that it's discouraged, but not prohibited, that's certainly something we can move it a week or two out and bring back some different language. But I just wanted to address that one point, maybe, because it is 10:20. This won't change anybody's property today, because we still have to have a code that matches up with what your policy is and we haven't got to that yet and you still have that option to have that conversation. Palmer: Madam Mayor? But there is no way that, you know, I could be okay with -- well, it's in the comp plan, but we are not going to address that later, we are not going to -- I mean the comp plan -- either we pay attention to it or we don't. So, I mean to say that this -- this won't have any effect, because it's 10:25 and we want to get out of here, it's not a big deal, Councilman Palmer, let's move on. Unless I'm totally misunderstanding what the comp plan is -- question mark? Nary: Madam Mayor? So, no. Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I'm not saying let's move on, what I'm saying is your -- your statement was is this going to change an individual member's property rights of the property today. The answer is, no, it does not, because it is only the comp plan. The language does drive what the code has to read when we get to that code. So, if the language is too prohibitive to you or to the rest of the Council or too restrictive, even though we may address it in code in how the process is to Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 85 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 80 of 101 change it, we can change the language and that's not a problem, but I just wanted to tell you that, again, if you were to approve this as it is written and on the page, it doesn't change anything. You have to -- you have to still have to approve it, you still have to have a code. So, that hasn't changed. I'm just saying if you think this is too strong, too restrictive, if that's the Council's direction, we can bring you different language and, then, the code will follow that. Borton: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Borton. Borton: There may be discussion that follows, but I move that we adopt the text change on the screen, item -- under the first bullet point -- or three within the north and south rims as depicted on Appendix E, where no step up is allowed and the remainder of the changes be tabled and probably incorporated and more discussions either through a committee or the broader comp plan process. De Weerd: And which part of that do you want a work group to look at? Borton: Well, Madam Mayor, that -- it might be addressed a number of ways. There is valid and good discussion as to support some of the concepts that the additional language tries to capture with view sheds. There is a lot of great question and concern with how that could be misapplied or create confusion, so none of which -- none of it seems to be ripe for any adoption today. None of this page -- I think those concepts need further vetting to be useful or helpful and that may happen whether it's in a separate committee -- I'm not making a suggestion that way. The larger -- the discussion is going to continue, basically. The manner in which it continues I'm not sure. So, it would be that single sentence. De Weerd: Okay. So, will you restate your -- your motion. Borton: Certainly. That the text change incorporated and I guess the conclusion of Appendix E -- the first bullet or three within the north and south areas as depicted on Appendix E where no step up is allowed. That's it. De Weerd: So, you're, essentially, leaving out the -- the second bullet? Borton: Correct. De Weerd: Okay. Do I have a second? Cavener: Second. De Weerd: Okay. Any discussion? Borton: And, Madam Mayor, the third bullet is left out, obviously, as well. Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 86 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 81 of 101 De Weerd: Right. Palmer: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Palmer. Palmer: All right. So, to help the simple one here, so if this is -- if we do this, if we approve this motion, what happens next? Or what does -- what effect does this have? Nary: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, so we would bring a resolution adopting that as now another part of the comp plan and, then, we would craft an ordinance to create what does that -- what does that mean. And, again, the discussion has been both ways, so I don't have a clear direction tonight. If no -- no step up is allowed under any circumstance or a step up is allowed under some circumstances, depending on what they are. I mean part of it Caleb spoke about in relation to the reality of what the adjoining properties are. That's a policy choice. But what's the code going to say in relation to -- for the property owner? Is it telling the property owner it's zero prohibited? I'm not hearing that. But is it allowed in certain circumstances and what's the process in which to do that. Is it a comp plan amendment? Is that the direction we are going? Then that's what we would recommend. If it's something less than a comp plan amendment, then, we probably need to make sure the language is clear enough in the comp plan to reflect that it doesn't require a comp plan amendment just to do one thing. Hood: Madam Mayor? Can I maybe state that a little bit differently or maybe with a little bit different angle, really, what this would effectively do. And we need to talk about if there is any code changes necessary if this motion passes or not, but, effectively, what it would do is we would talk with that property owner and say if you want to step up, we would recommend you file a comp plan map amendment to get there. We would still take in their application, but based on this policy we would recommend denial of that application, so -- and we may recommend denial of their comp plan map, but they really should have that package deal together to say I'm low, I want medium, here is my map amendment to go along with my plat and annexation, that's what we would effectively require with this change in our -- in our Comprehensive Plan. Would we prohibit -- I mean we had this discussion I think in October. Would we prohibit or require somebody to actually submit that map amendment? Maybe, maybe not. But it really doesn't look good for them if they don't. So, that's, again, the effective change of that. That's kind of what -- how I see it being implemented. This really kind of makes it more clear to me or developers -- property owners, low is low, medium is medium, medium high is medium high, so -- Palmer: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Palmer. Palmer: So -- but which is it, Caleb? Is it we will recommend denial, because they are within the area or your project might make sense, so we might not? Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 87 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 82 of 101 Hood: Well, Madam Mayor -- again, Council Palmer, there is just too many variables for me to answer that phrased that way. Right? I mean it's site specific. But generally speaking, if somebody came in with a project that was four dwelling per acre and they are low on our map, you're not -- you're swimming upstream already. Staff generally doesn't support that, because we have policies now that say you're low, zero to three. Two and three. That -- but it's a guide; right? But we would still probably recommend it out of your project. If you didn't have -- and justify why you're not stepping up, but changing the map to say I need to go to medium and justify that. Oh, I have R-8 around me and apartments, maybe we can support that. You're surrounded by that? Okay. Let's change the map then. But I can't -- I'm sorry, I just can't answer your scenario that simply. There is a lot to consider in that. Palmer: Madam Mayor? And that's the problem with the paint brush. I mean why not say within the north and southern rim as depicted in Appendix A where -- maybe -- or where a step up may not be allowed. If we are going to say is not allowed -- well, there is a million scenarios in which it very well may be, so may not be allowed -- we have the exact same -- whether it may not be allowed or is not allowed, we are still going to treat an individual application the same way; right? De Weerd: Is there any further discussion? You have another way of asking it? Borton: Yeah. Palmer: I -- Madam Mayor, I guess I just can't wrap my head around why we would put in the Comprehensive Plan and telling developers, okay, this is what you got to abide by, we are going to say where no step up is allowed, unless you sell it to us on why -- why it should be allowed, without a map amendment. De Weerd: That is so hard to answer without having a specific application. I think that's what Caleb is saying, that this is not totally black and white. A Comprehensive Plan is -- is not your set of regulations and codes, it's -- it has more gray area. Are we ready for the question? Mr. Clerk. Roll call: Borton, yea; Milam, absent; Cavener, yea; Palmer, nay; Little Roberts, absent; Bernt, yea. MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES. ONE NAY. TWO ABSENT. Hood: Madam Mayor? I'm sorry, I know it's late, but I think a few minutes here may save us hours and hours in the future and in the near future when we look at the comp plan. So, essentially, what you just did -- and, Brian, would you mind going to the slide with the options -- was a hybrid of two. We need some direction on kind of -- at least some scope of what we are talking about here as we go through the comp plan -- this new comp plan. Is everything on the table? Are we starting from scratch? Is it -- you know, Warren and I have been talking and a lot of where we thought we were going to be spending a lot of Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 88 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 83 of 101 our time is kind of what was alluded to I think in Mr. Yearsley's testimony back towards the county line and in 2011 and we see some low densities maybe being different in the near future or maybe we have it right. We weren't really planning on -- but that's where I need some direction -- land use studies. Are we to work with our study to talk about -- with our consultant that we are looking to hire in the next few months and is that something we want to really focus in on is do we have enough low density, in particular, in south Meridian -- and I don't even know where that's at. Does that go from Meridian Road all the way back to Cloverdale and our area of impact or what. But I need just some -- I need some direction at some point or else we are going to be all over the place with the comments we get back. So, I need to kind of frame the question what's on the table, what shall we talk about? Is it -- is it views and maybe defining view sheds and maybe even going as far as code that says -- De Weerd: You know, Caleb, maybe it would be a good idea -- next week we have our joint meeting with the City Council and our Planning and Zoning Commission. That might be a good conversation to have that. Hood: Okay. De Weerd: Let Council kind of contemplate some of the questions that really came out of the discussion tonight and stew over it -- maybe be more articulate of exactly what we are looking for to help understand or define and having P&Z in on that conversation would be very beneficial and it will give you an opportunity to really frame the questions that you have, too. Does that make sense? Okay. Anything further from Council? Okay. Thank you for sticking with us this evening. We appreciate that. Item 10: Department Reports A. Parks and Recreation Department: South Meridian Regional Park Naming De Weerd: Item 10 under Department Reports. So, we have our Parks and Recreation Department. Siddoway: And you're going to bring up my presentation for me. Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, it's late, we are all tired, I will try to be as brief as possible for you. The first presentation I'm here to make is to -- I was hoping it would be a little fun for us. We get to name a park. We get to name a great new park in south Meridian and we are excited to -- to have that conversation with you and choose a name. To foreshadow the ending, it will come as no surprise, because it's come up twice in the last month on the public record here at Council -- that the recommended name coming before you is Exploration Park. Having said that, the questions that I have heard from Council as that's come up during Mike's presentation, during Jo Greer's presentation, is more around, you know, what happened to the name Discovery Park. Were there other names considered? Has there been a thoughtful process? So, what I wanted to do tonight was give you some of the process and background and lead up to how did we get there and, Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 89 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 84 of 101 then, have that discussion of what the -- what do we want the name to be. So, I won't spend a lot of time here, but our phase one design concept is based on a discovery theme. That's been, you know, the idea of it for the last -- oh, at least 14 months since we have presented that to Council. There is a destination playground, splash pad, sand and water play and on down the list, but this discovery theme and what we are calling learning landscapes and the idea of, you know, when is a playground more than just a playground when you can you learn from it, is still very much alive and well. So, where we started with the commission last summer on this discussion was, okay, we have been talking about the name Discovery Park since this discovery theme had come forward and so the name Discovery Park or Meridian Discovery Park was really where we started. The commission discussion at that point was that they felt that there were too many discovery naming conflicts, particularly the first one and that is that there is a Discovery Park -- Discovery State Park at Lucky Peak in Boise. So, within the Treasure Valley there is -- there is a Discovery Park. They felt like that in and of itself was a deal killer in moving forward with the name. I think just about all of them, though, would agree that Discovery Park rolls off the tongue easier than Exploration Park -- Exploration Park does. I don't know -- I don't think there is anyone that would disagree with that. The quote that I think I took from John Nesmith as the commissioner was, you know, Discovery Park is an awesome name. Too bad the name is already used. So, that's -- and if Council feels that Discovery Park as a name -- that it's okay that there is a Discovery State Park at Lucky Peak and we want to have our own, you know, that's something we can talk about. But for the commission's sake, in making a recommendation to you, they felt like the fact that it was already used in the valley was a deal killer. So, we went to brainstorming. What other names could we use instead of Discovery Park. The result of that process had five names going forward. Highland Park. Falcon Ridge Park. Innovation Park. Adventure Park. And Exploration Park. We, then, did develop some concepts around them. So, the first round looked at these name options. Highland Park. It's up on this ridge that we are talking about. It has great views. So, we could celebrate the -- the nature of where the land is. I'm going to go through these kind of fast. Falcon Ridge Park was based on the idea that we have a relationship to the Birds of Prey area south of Meridian -- south of Kuna and we could play off of that idea and celebrate that. Innovation Park was a recommendation from one of our commissioners that was trying to look -- explore other ideas that could develop this idea of Discovery or Exploration. Adventure Park. Same thing. And, then, Exploration Park was the fifth of those. Of those they picked three to move forward. Exploration Park they felt like was the name that tied best with the discovery theme of the park. Innovation Park they also felt had a good tie to the STEM or STEAM ideas. But as you will see later, they felt like the concepts surrounded maybe tied more with the technology, industrial type park than with the kind of park we had. And Highland Park they liked because of its vistas, great views, and the upper bench. They cut from this list the Adventure Park. They felt it was too close to Adventure Island Playground, which we already have in Settlers Park and they also cut Falcon Ridge Park, because there is a Falcon Ridge Charter School in Kuna not far from there. So, then, we started taking those three names and looking at different logo options that could be developed around them. For Exploration Park, for Innovation Park, and for Highland Park and this was what I call Round 2-A. Then we picked kind of some favorite images off of those and say, well, let's take the same three names and use them with -- with the images Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 90 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 85 of 101 here. So, here is Highland, Exploration and Innovation Park with a first logo type, a second logo type, and a third logo type, because, really, you could use those names with any of those that you felt appropriate. None of them were quite jiving for them with the actual graphics, but at that point they said, look, we like Exploration Park. Let's choose the name Exploration Park, but continue to explore alternative graphic options and bring it back to them as their third round. So, this was their -- their third round. All of these say Explanation Park at this point. One is based on maybe what -- you know, what had been part of Falcon Ridge Park where you could have a steel structure and cutouts. A sandstone rock with a Peregrine falcon. Option three is really just another alternative of option two. And, then, option four was this idea of steel cylinders with -- with cutouts. So, there you can see the four options that they were looking at specifically in relation to Exploration Park. Now, option four was the one that started getting the most attention and interest and it was based on this image that they felt like there is a lot of cool things that you could do with these cylinders, with steel cutouts and, obviously, this would work with whatever the name is, but there was a lot of interest in this as an idea. It may or may not be lit, as these are, but the idea was that this could work -- you could adapt this to different areas of the park. If you had had a different -- future area, you know, in phase three or something that is based on, you know, a butterfly garden, you could have butterfly cut outs on a pole in front of it or you could -- if you have one that's exploring the solar system, you know, you can do planets and stars and -- it's kind of very flexible and adaptable as an idea. So, Council feedback. Discussion. Decision. The recommendation from the commission to you tonight is for the name Exploration Park. I do know that there is a fair bit of interest still in the name Discovery Park and the feeling that it rolls off the tongue easier or do you like another name and, then, we would also like -- if you ask the direction of the art and signage using the steel cut out bollards, because they are still kind of working on developing that idea further if you like that direction. And with that I will stand for questions or discussion. De Weerd: Thank you, Steve. That was very thorough. We appreciate that. Council, any feedback, questions, comments? Cavener: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Cavener. Cavener: I will be the first to throw a wet blanket. Steve, I think I have been pretty vocal. I'm not a fan of Exploration Park. I think it is hard to say and maybe it's because since I have been on Council we have talked about this park, we have always used Discovery to refer to it as kind of a working title. I don't want to take away any of the work that the parks commission put into this and to the Mayor's point you provide a very thorough explanation of the steps the commission went through to come to a recommendation. I'm just not a fan of their recommendation, which is my personal opinion. I would support Discovery Park. I would support right now referring to it as south Meridian park and going back and coming up with a different -- I mean I don't want to -- I'm not saying -- just because I don't like Exploration Park that we need to necessarily come up with a final decision tonight. Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 91 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 86 of 101 Palmer: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Palmer. Palmer: Madam Mayor. I agree. I mean if it's got to be one of these, I think Discovery Park is the one, despite that it's common, because it's good. But with the sign designs, I do like all of the sign designs. I think if it was to be this column style we would have to figure out how to light it for sure, because it looks cool. But love where those are going. I can't -- can't wrap my head around falling in love with any of the names. Siddoway: Is the name Discovery Park not a deal killer for either of you that there is a Discovery State Park at Lucky Peak? Cavener: Madam Mayor? To address the question, it's not for me, I think that -- I didn't know that the state park at Lucky Peak was called Discovery Park I think until Mike had mentioned that to me. While we have a Discovery Center in downtown Boise, I think many of the elements that you have kind of vision cast about this park lend itself to the same kind of similar mission that the Discovery Center was founded on, which is learning through doing and I think that that lends itself to what we are trying to accomplish with this park. So, it's not a deal killer for me. I don't know how the city of Boise would feel about it, but I think for our park it would -- it would make a lot of sense. Siddoway: And to be clear, it's not a city of Boise park, it's a state park so -- Cavener: I meant Discovery Center. Yeah. Siddoway: Oh, Discovery Center. Borton: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Borton. Borton: Exploration Park is for me at least perhaps the best name yet. If it were to continue I guess there is -- I don't know if there is time to make it continue, but in light of the background and the explanation and the pros and cons of the other names -- and I agree with Councilman Palmer, these steel cut outs are pretty cool. Should be lit and -- if those were explored further, but -- is there a drop dead date you're trying to get -- I know you want to announce it. You could get feedback -- Madam Mayor? Did you get feedback from Councilman Little Roberts or Milam? Siddoway: They have not. Borton: Have they weighed in? No? Cavener: Madam Mayor? Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 92 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 87 of 101 Borton: The name's fine with me. Sorry. I'm done. Cavener: I don't know if Council Member Bernt wanted to chime in. I just had a suggestion and I don't know how far it would go, but I don't want to step on his toes as a former parks commissioner if Council Member Bernt had any -- Bernt: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Bernt. Bernt: I definitely -- I like the name Discovery Park, but we discussed this. I -- Exploration Park is fine. I mean -- since, you know, as a past commission member of the parks and recreation commission I -- there is a lot of discussion and there is a lot of thought that goes into what they do and so I would respect that decision, if that's what they wanted to use, but if there is no disagreement about using the Discovery name on Council or the Mayor's part, that would be my number one choice, to be honest with you, but if that's not an option and we feel as a Council that that's not an option, then, Exploration Park is a fantastic name as well. Let's go explore at Exploration. Siddoway: I think the commission would accept, you know, whatever direction the Council wants and, then, take that and develop it into signage options for you. Right, they are, you know, working on the Exploration name, because that's -- well, I just gave you the history, but -- I know that they would take your direction and work on options from there. Cavener: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Cavener. Cavener: Just a thought for consideration amongst the Council. A couple of months ago Mayor's chief of staff came and talked about ways to engage the public and giving them opportunities to weigh in. This may be a suitable opportunity to allow the public to -- to weigh in. We have got three names from the commission somewhat vetted. We have got a name that sounds like three of the four Council members like. I recognize that we want to announce it tomorrow, but -- De Weerd: Don't have to. Cavener: -- create a survey website -- I think it also builds some excitement for our residents that you -- every time the city has named a park, well, here is your chance, you can name it. And I don't -- and maybe we also solicit nominations. I mean I'm -- I'm kind of shooting from the hip right here, because it's late, but could this be an opportunity to allow our public to weigh in on what the name of the park is? Palmer: Madam Mayor? Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 93 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 88 of 101 De Weerd: Mr. Palmer. Palmer: I see Sally like grinning ear to ear. They are both back there giving -- De Weerd: What, Discovery? Palmer: -- being able to do their own input. Siddoway: Madam Mayor, I would be glad to repeat that for the record. De Weerd: You don't need to. Palmer: You were paying for it. They always come up with the names or -- I mean it's always the people on the commission and, then, Council saying, hey, here is the name or the Mayor letting us know what the name is. What the -- Pocatello did it with their flag and they -- and it was something really cool. They ended up with some craziness, but it was something really neat. I think -- a chance to throw it out and -- Cavener: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Cavener. Cavener: I do think it plays with the theme of the park, too, is it's -- you know, it's kind of an experiment. What our public want to name the park, so -- if you're looking -- Madam Mayor, sorry, if I may. If you're looking for a recommendation from the Council, I would recommend Discovery if you need a name. But my higher recommendation would be turn over to the public and let them decide. Siddoway: And how -- would you turn it over as like a Facebook poll or how would -- what methods? Cavener: Madam Mayor? I think that a Facebook poll would be fine. A poll -- I think in the past you had used polling on the city website. Again, I think there is a lot of different ways that we could go about it. I would yield to Kaycee and IT and Shelly to say we think this is the best way to have our public participate. And, Madam Mayor, I'm not trying to write your State of the City speech, but, boy, would that be a cool announcement to make tomorrow, is we want the public to decide what you want to name our park. I think people would applaud. I know I would. Siddoway: And, Madam Mayor, if I may -- which names would you take forward? Obviously, these two, Exploration and Discovery and Innovation? Throw in Highland? You want four? Borton: Craig Steele? Madam Mayor, Craig Steele Park? Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 94 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 89 of 101 Cavener: Steve -- and, again, I think that -- again, I'm treating that -- yes. The answer to your question would be, yes, I would -- I would take all the names. Borton: They might want to come up with their own. Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Oh, my God. Mr. Borton. Borton: We started from scratch, that concept, and it makes sense. I'm not opposed to it, but we have had the commission now go through the laborious effort of vetting and pros and cons and -- Siddoway: Joe, we can't hear you. Borton: They have gone through this process at great length to set the pros and cons and give good reasons why some names might not be the best, even though maybe in a vacuum they are good names, so -- ask people to go back and start over, in light of all the work that has been done. Unless we think the names are terrible, which I don't think anyone does, so -- De Weerd: I like Exploration. Palmer: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Palmer. Palmer: And to Councilman Borton's point, take the names that they come up with, maybe even two or three more that they have considered, and just throw those ones on there and not make it a -- come up with your own, just here is what your board came up with, what do you like. De Weerd: Could even add an other, just to Mr. Cavener's -- and if they come up with one that just is like, whoa, why didn't we think of that. Leave it to their -- Imagination Park. There you go. Borton: Madam Mayor? You got to be aware of the unintended consequences. If you have six names and the winner gets 18 percent and now you have got 80 percent of your community that doesn't like the name of your park. So, you're going to have to vet how you're going to do it and narrow it down and have finalists and -- to do it right, if you were to go down this path, it's -- do it right. Bernt: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Bernt. Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 95 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 90 of 101 Cavener: I agree with Council Member Borton. It sounds like -- if I remember, but there is three names that -- for the most part that the commission wrestled with, they were Highland, Innovation, Exploration -- Siddoway: And, then, Discovery. Cavener: And, then, I would add Discovery. And there is four and ideally one will receive more than 26 percent of the vote. Maybe Council Borton will be hitting refresh and voting and refresh and voting to insure that his -- Brent: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: We will try and make only unique users. Mr. Bernt. Bernt: I'm in agreement one hundred percent with Mr. Borton. I think that he brought up some great points -- as that's what I was thinking as well. I would be -- I think it's great to -- I am definitely not opposed to, you know, community involvement in -- on any level. However, when it comes to these things, I think we should just make a decision and -- and, you know, go along with the recommendation of the commission and make a decision tonight. That would be my opinion. But it -- I guess it maybe leaves it up in your -- because you got two twos, so I guess you're a final vote. De Weerd: I haven't heard a motion. Cavener: Madam Mayor, are you looking for a motion from the Council on this? De Weerd: I am looking for a decision of some sort. Cavener: All right. Well, it's almost 11:00. We have still got more work to do. So, I will -- I move that we -- I guess let me start again. Madam Mayor, I move that you work with City of Meridian staff to establish a fair survey method that would allow our public -- our citizens to name their park, using the three names vetted by the parks commission and include Discovery Park on that list. Palmer: Second. De Weerd: Okay. I have a motion and a second to put this out to vote of the public. Any discussion? So, you have Exploration, you have Discovery, Innovation and Highline -- or Highlands. Siddoway: Highland. De Weerd: Highland. Okay. Any discussion? Cavener: Madam Mayor? Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 96 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 91 of 101 De Weerd: Yes, Mr. -- Cavener: For discussion sake -- and I think -- obviously, we have got staff that can figure out all the logistical details. My motion is more just to kind of summarize of where I think we should go and will yield to you and park's staff to establish the appropriate sideboards, timing, et cetera, and ensure that the public has enough time to weigh in and we promote it. De Weerd: Okay. Any further discussion? Mr. Clerk. Roll call: Borton, nay; Milam, absent; Cavener, yea; Palmer, yea; Little Roberts, absent; Bernt nay. De Weerd: Aye. MOTION CARRIED: TWO AYES. TWO NAYS. TWO ABSENT. MAYOR AYE. De Weerd: So, we will take it up and vote for the people. Okay. B. Parks and Recreation Department: Kleiner Park Memorial Plaza Fees and Policy Siddoway: Thank you. I have one more presentation. Can you bring it up? Kleiner Park Memorial Plaza. It's on the left. There you go. Thank you. Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, this last item is to get your direction on what we want to notice as the fees for the Kleiner Park Memorial Plaza and also just a brief three points on policy we want to bring back to you. To be clear, we are not asking for your final approval motion tonight, what we are asking for is your direction, so we know what to notice. It will still have to be a noticing process and a public hearing after your direction tonight. Quickly we have an -- we have had an existing memorial program for the last 15 years at Tully Park. There is a memorial tree lane along Bud Porter Pathway in Tully Park. It has 12 by six granite plaques. The cost for the tree and the plaque is 290 bucks. But that program is full. Every tree in the park is named. There is no more trees to do. We also have an existing program at Generations Plaza with the brass plaques on the wall around Generations Plaza. The cost of those brass plaques is a hundred bucks. They are four inches by two inches and that program is still available, a little over half full. As you know, we have a program underway with the partnership with MYAC. MYAC's elected this as their participatory budget project for last year. It's currently under construction as you can see in the top photo. There is Memorial Plaza pavers. Thanks to the great weather we are having staff have been out there the last two days starting the installation of the actual pavers ahead of when we thought we would be in there this spring. I don't need to get into the dimensions with you in detail, but there they are for the plaza. I will point out the very bottom bullet that the center tree has been selected as a Magnolia butterflies tree, which we think will be very beautiful and you can see the picture there at the bottom. So, this new memorial program, the construction funding, as I mentioned as part of the MYAC participatory budget. The question is what should we charge for each of the bricks. The Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 97 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 92 of 101 first thought is we need to make sure we are recouping our -- our direct costs. So, the brick itself is about five bucks. The engraving on that brick is 25 bucks. The mobilization fee to get the company out there to engrave, is 135. An average of four hours of staff time to both work on it with the applicant is pretty standard. That would be 80 bucks. That totals 245, we rounded it to 250. So, if a one at a time scenario -- if we are recouping all of our direct costs, that would be 250 bucks. Now -- so, 250 bucks per paver covers the direct cost. Last time we were talking about other fees there were questions raised by Council of are you factoring in costs for recovery of maintenance and I don't have an exact science for you to say how much would it cost to maintain this over the next 50, 100 years, how many will we have to replace, will we have to replace any. I don't know, but for discussion sake we -- we suggested, you know, if you even wanted to go there, you know, of one and a half times multiplier or if you also are interested in recovering not only direct costs and not only maintenance recovery, but the initial 20,000 dollar construction cost applied over the number of bricks there, then, you would add an additional 125 bucks, making them 500 dollars per paver. Now, the next question we usually get at this point is -- oh, that's the next slide. The commission has discussed this and made a recommendation for you to consider. They -- they thought we ought to be focused on recouping all the direct costs of having a four by eight paver of 250 bucks or a double sized eight by eight paver at 400 bucks. They also suggested a promotional period leading up to the first Memorial Day this year where we would drop that price to 150 and 250 in order to encourage the initial influx. They also recommended considering making this an annual thing. I don't know that an annual sale would be that good, because you would just wait and can get it, then, I think. But something -- something that they discussed and to consider. So, the question I usually get at this point is, well, what do other memorial programs charge. So, there is -- I have two for you. The Idaho Fallen Firefighters Foundation bricks in the city of Boise, their bricks range in cost from 100 to 200 dollars. The Veteran's Memorial Park Patriot Walk bricks, a four by eight brick and an eight by eight brick is the same size that we are talking about for ours, are also 100 and 200. Twelve by twelves are also -- say they are available, but no price was listed. Those were specifically for businesses or corporations. Now, we have had some additional staff discussion since then, both with the Mayor, amongst ourselves, that 250 dollar direct cost is based on mobilizing for every brick. We could set up a scenario where we get multiple bricks in before we go out and -- and engrave them, in which case we could split that cost among multiple bricks. So, if we split that cost between at least four pavers, that direct cost would drop to 145 bucks. So, for round numbers you could consider some alternate standard pricing of 150 bucks and 250 dollars for the eight by eight. Seems more in line with what other memorial bricks cost. And so for your discussion the commission's recommendation is the 250 and 400 for the two sizes. If we are willing to think about, you know, aggregating multiple ones before we go out, I think that this idea of dropping that price to 150 and 250 has some merit and if you want to consider some of those other options I guess that's on the table, too. And with that I will pause here and ask for a discussion. De Weerd: Thank you, Steve. Council? Bernt: Madam Mayor? Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 98 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 93 of 101 Palmer: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Bernt. Bernt: I -- I personally like the alternate standard pricing and doing maybe like a semi- annual time period where we go out and install a bunch of bricks two times a year, which would alleviate a lot of the cost. If I'm looking at -- I have two grandpas that I would like to honor in this memorial location and I could get two at the alternate standard pricing as -- you know, for almost the price of one with the commission's recommendation and so if you're doing it that way, I think you will find it will create volume. I think more people will do it. Therefore, invite with the alternate -- alternate standard pricing. We are still recouping all of the direct costs, it's just that we are doing multiple at the same time. So, I think it makes sense to do that, for sure. That would be my thought. De Weerd: Mr. Palmer. Palmer: Madam Mayor. A couple questions. Has the plaza portion already been built? Siddoway: So, the photo that you saw -- if I back up. That part right there is constructed. The tree is not installed yet. The landscaping is not in. And the bricks are going in this week. Palmer: Madam Mayor? So, what -- what takes four hours of staff time? Siddoway: Oh. The -- the coordination with the -- the applicant. There is quite a bit of back and forth, both with them on getting the -- the language that they want finalized and approved and, then, in ordering the -- the memorial plaza out there. It seems like it could get streamlined to be less, but as I was asking, you know, how long do these take in general, that's the feedback that I got. Palmer: Madam Mayor? I don't -- I have never put a paver down, so I don't really know how this works. Can you pull it up and put it back easily enough if you were to -- say you sold 50 in a period of time, you're going to rip 50 up, go take them to the engraver themselves instead of having to pay them to come out and do it and put them back or is that just -- that doesn't work? Siddoway: Yeah. It would be more expensive to do that. It's actually more cost effective to just mobilize them once for 135 bucks and engrave 50 bricks right on site. Palmer: Okay. De Weerd: Steve, could you maybe have two different programs, one if they want to expedite it it would be the 200 -- it would be the cost that the commission chose, but if you are willing to wait to be part of a larger order you could have the reduced price. Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 99 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 94 of 101 Siddoway: Yeah. And, honestly, that's where I was headed next on the -- the policy discussion. One of the things that we -- there is three points that I wanted to discuss that we have learned -- discussed with the commission. There is general consensus there. We think there would be benefit to saying, look, we installed the bricks that come in twice a year. We are thinking May and October, you know, right before Memorial Day and then -- De Weerd: And Veteran's -- Siddoway: -- I guess we are Veteran's Day. Would be October and, then, we got them fairly well spaced throughout the year. We think that simplifies things quite a bit for us and we would recommend doing that. The other thing that we have learned is we need a sunset clause with the agreement that we have with these people that purchased a memorial. The other was that we have looked at in Boise and other cities have them, the typical language that we have seen is that, you know, this brick that they are buying or whatever it is is guaranteed for the life span of the facility or amenity, meaning that if in the future the park just has a complete face lift, there is not a commitment that one 100, 200 years from now it can't be removed, but for the life span of that plaza, you know, it would -- we would -- you would keep it up. And, then, the third one is to avoid some really strange things that you can get on some of these bricks. A really like what -- what Boise has done for all of theirs. They have a first line, second line, third line where they have an approved set of phrases -- there is a lot. There is 54 approved phrases about anything that you could want. It's not just in memory of or in recognition of. But -- and we can bring those back to you with the policy recommendation, but we want to have the wording limited to where there is an approved phrase on the first line, the name of the person and, then, the appropriate dates as the third line. That would be our recommendation for keeping some consistency with these bricks within the memorial. So, back to your first point of the installation, which is why I jumped to this slide. We would recommend that that would be our proposal in order to be able to support that alternate standard pricing as a realistic option. Cavener: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Cavener. Cavener: A couple questions. One, did the parks commission have the chance to review the alternative standard pricing? Siddoway: They have not. Cavener: Then just a follow up question. If this is something that the commission discussed or if it's worthy of Council discussing, the Meridian Senior Center has a brick memorial program. It looks like their bricks are -- four by eights are 100 and eight by eights are 250. Just don't know if we want to have two competing brick programs. If that's been contemplated, if the parks commission was aware of that, if there was any thoughts at having kind of two brick memorials in the same park. Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 100 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 95 of 101 Siddoway: You mean like pricing in the same or -- Cavener: Either pricing the same or -- I don't know if somebody is going to take one brick over another, I'm just -- they are a partner and it -- maybe we are stepping on their toes a little bit with the program they have been doing. I don't know if that was contemplated by the parks commission or not. Siddoway: It was not. De Weerd: It wasn't, but it also was part of the -- the program that came to the Parks Department and the parks commission as a result of the participatory budgeting and the establishment of that memorial plaza. That's kind of the context of it. I would think that it would not be a competition to the senior center's program. That is their fundraiser for their nonprofit, but also this is a more expensive one and in the public eye, instead of inside the building. So, I think there is enough of a difference that it shouldn't compete against each other, but it's a good point. Siddoway: I would just like to say that Mike Kleiner was here last week. He and I got together for about a half day and did a tour. We got -- we specifically went to see the -- the new memorial plaza site, because that was one of the things he was really interested in seeing. We took him out there. We stood there and looked at it. He was very pleased with the way it's been sited, the way it works with the Rock of Honor and takes advantage of the views out to the pond. So, I just wanted to share that with that we did have Mike Kleiner here last week to come look at it and he was quite pleased with the direction it was going. De Weerd: And -- and I think that is one of the other things that really came up during the Memorial Plaza discussion is this is one of the visions that the Kleiners had is looking for additional ways that you can memorialize your loved one and that -- that is some of the context behind the Julius M. Kleiner Memorial Park. Siddoway: I was just going to say, it is a memorial park and it fits where its proposed and they were also particularly excited to hear about the tie back with the youth and how MYAC came up with it and brought it to us, so -- Cavener: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Borton. Borton: The alternate standard pricing makes good sense to me. The promotional period, as you proposed, makes good sense and the bi-annual installation dates seem to make great sense. So, great work. De Weerd: And if someone wants to expedite it, having the higher costs because there is a true cost, is an option. At least you give the option. Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 101 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 96 of 101 Siddoway: And if there is general consensus with that -- we will see if there is, but one point I would ask is if you like the alternate standard pricing as a standard pricing, but also like the promotional period -- I didn't put what the promotional price would be up here, but, you know, 100 and 200 dollars, maybe, for that, you know, one time, but I guess I would ask if that's what -- if that's what you would like. De Weerd: I'm going to get ten. Siddoway: What's what? De Weerd: Sorry. Cavener: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Cavener. Cavener: I guess, Steve, with the -- the -- it sounds to me like the alternative standard pricing allows the city to recoup its costs and that the promotional -- and the additional discount during the promotional time that wouldn't necessarily be the case. Siddoway: Unless we get enough to even split them further. Cavener: So, I would just say let's do the alternative pricing and that comes -- that's the promotional price. We do it twice a year. That's the price. And, then, to the Mayor's point, if somebody says I want one in February, then, they can pay the commission's recommended pricing. That way the city is not in the red for doing this program. Palmer: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Palmer. Palmer: Thank you, Councilman Cavener. What was running through my head is there is no way where you can lose any money on this thing. Participatory budgeting has had a tendency to cost more than it was allotted. So, yeah, don't lose any money. De Weerd: They are not recommending these prices. Borton: Madam Mayor, I second Councilman Cavener's motion. De Weerd: Okay. Cavener: Great. It was a motion. Borton: It sounded like it. Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 20, 2018 – Page 102 of 601 Meridian City Council February 6, 2018 Page 97 of 101 De Weerd: I have a motion and a second to approve the fees as presented and to bring them back to go through the process of official adopting. Siddoway: Understood. Borton: Just direction. De Weerd: All those in favor say aye. All ayes. MOTION CARRIED: FOUR AYES. TWO ABSENT. Siddoway: Understood. Thank you. We will get it noticed and be back for a hearing on the fees. Thank you. De Weerd: Thank you, Steve. I love that tree. Butterfly Magnolia. Cavener: All right. What's next? Item 11: Ordinances A.

APPLICATION SUMMARY The applicant, Peter Harris, has requested approval of a modification to the Paramount No. 29 final plat (note #14) to allow the future home constructed on Lot 15, Block 76 to take access from the abutting local street (N. Borgnine Ave.) in lieu of the common driveway (Lot 16, Block 76). II. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the subject application subject to the modifications listed in Exhibit A.4.

Denial After considering all Staff, Applicant, and public testimony, I move to deny File Number H-2017- 0168, as presented in the staff report for the hearing date of January 16, 2018, for the following reasons: (You should state specific reasons for denial.) Continuance After considering all Staff, Applicant, and public testimony, I move to continue File Number H-2017- 0168 to the hearing date of (insert continued hearing date here) for the following reason(s): (you should state specific reason(s) for continuance) IV.APPLICATION AND PROPERTY FACTS A. Site Address/Location: The subject property (Lot 15, Block 76) is located at 5260 N. Borgnine Avenue in the southeast ¼ of Section 25, Township 4 North, Range 1 West. B. Applicant/Owner: Peter Harris Construction Inc. 6945 Duncan Lane Boise, ID 83714 C. Applicant's Statement/Justification: Please see applicant’s narrative for this information. V. PROCESS FACTS The subject application is for a modification to the final plat. By reason of the provisions of the Meridian City Code Title 11, Chapter 5, the City Council is the decision making body on this matter. A public meeting is required to be held for this type of application. VI. LAND USE Paramount No. 29- H-2017-0168 - 1 - EXHIBIT A A. Existing Land Use(s): The subject property is vacant property developed as a single-family residential subdivision. B. Character of Surrounding Area and Adjacent Land Use and Zoning: This area is predominantly developed with single family detached homes. C. History of Previous Actions: On May 26 2015, the property received final plat approval (FP-15- 016) to development 62 single family lots and 12 common lots on 18.42 acres. VII. STAFF ANALYSIS The applicant requests approval to modify the Paramount No. 29 final plat to allow Lot 15, Block 76 to access from the abutting street rather than the adjacent common driveway. Specifically, note #14 on the recorded plat states said lot must to take access from the abutting common driveway along the south boundary (Lot 16, Block 76). The modification is requested because the applicant wishes to construct a new home on the parcel that takes access from the abutting local street (N. Borgnine Ave.). As stated in the UDC, any property that abuts a common driveway shall take access from the driveway. However, if the abutting property has the required minimum street frontage, the property is not required to take access from the common driveway. In this situation, the abutting property’s driveway shall be on the opposite side of the shared property line; away from the common driveway. Solid fencing adjacent to the common driveway is prohibited unless separated by a 5-foot landscape buffer. The applicant has provided an exhibit that demonstrates how the home is to be oriented on lot. In reviewing the attached document, Staff finds the lot meets the minimum street frontage requirements of the R-8 district and the proposed driveway for the future home is on the opposite side of the common driveway consistent with the common drive standards set forth in UDC 11-6C-3D.5. In order to proceed with the modification as proposed by the applicant, the plat note #14 must be modified as follows: 1) Note #14 – Lot 18 of Block 54, Lots 9 and 16 of Block 76 are designated as common driveways to provide access to Lots 15, 16, 17 and 19 of Block 54, Lots 6, 7, 8, 10, 15, 17, 18 and 19 of Block 76, respectively, said Lot 18 of Block 54, Lots 9 and 16 of Block 76 are to be owned by the Paramount Owners Association Inc., or assigns, and the owners of the lots which will benefit from the use of the common driveway shall maintain, repair and/or replace at their own cost and expense of said driveway. Lot 18 of Block 54 and Lots 9 and 16 of Block 76 are also encumbered by a blanket public utility easement. Staff recommends the proposed MFP be approved with the modification in Exhibit A.4. VIII.

Initial Point Gallery provides 100 feet of total wall space for hanging two-dimensional artwork, which is broken into fourths, and four enclosed display cases for three-dimensional artwork. Approximately 20 pieces fill half of the gallery space. MAC requests that artists voluntarily donate to MAC 20% of proceeds from sales of art displayed in Initial Point Gallery.

Two- dimensional works displayed in Initial Point Gallery must be comprised of professional-quality, ready-to-hang, original art. Selectees must fill all or half of the gallery. Three-dimensional works may be of any medium, but must fit within the four supplied display cases. No artwork will be displayed which: cannot be safely hung or displayed using the gallery’s equipment; requires unusual maintenance, handling, or security; or is disruptive or likely to offend the sensibilities of the general public. Selectees will be asked to enter into an Acceptance Agreement with the City setting forth specific conditions of display. Selectees and invitees may reapply annually and if selected again, 75% of the display must be artwork that has not been previously displayed in Initial Point Gallery.

We would like to show at Initial Point for our Fall Show entitled “And Here We Have Idaho”. It is not a juried show. Each member may enter up to two paintings with a cap at 90 paintings for the group. We would like to use the wall space and also put up our own panels. The prices for the paintings will range from $100 to 1500. We include any work that is predominantly transparent watercolor. A piece may have touches of gouache, pen & ink, etc. as long as the major portion is water based media. Most paintings will be on traditional watercolor paper, but other papers such as yupo or waterboard are acceptable. The IWS has represented Idaho Artists for many years. We have multiple prize winners and post only family friendly art. We have traditionally shown at Initial Point every other year in the Fall. We love the space and the nice light that your gallery affords, and we hope that you will consider our group for display again next year.

Item #9F: Caven Ridge Estates West — RZ, PP, MDA (H-2017.0156) Application(s): Application withdrawn at Commission hearing ➢ Preliminary Plat ➢ Development Agreement Modification Size of property, existing zoning, and location: This site consists of 14.42 acres of land, zoned R-8, located on the east side of S. Meridian Rd., south of E. Victory Rd. History: This property was originally annexed in 2006 and included in a preliminary plat that has since expired. Comprehensive Plan FLUM Designation: Medium Density Residential (MDR) (3-8 units/acre) Summary of Request: The applicant requests Council approval of an amendment to the existing DA to include an updated conceptual development plan which includes 20 more building lots that previously proposed. A preliminary plat is proposed that consists of 67 building lots for SFR detached homes & 9 common lots on 14.42 acres of land. The minimum lot size is 4,448 s.f. with an average lot size of 5,713 s.f. The subdivision is proposed to develop in 4 phases. Since the Commission hearing, the applicant submitted a revised plat in accord with the Commission's recommendation that depicts reduced lot depths for Lots 35 & 36, Block 1 to allow for a wider street buffer along S. Meridian ROSH 69 to accommodate the wall required for noise abatement adjacent to a state highway and the existing driveway vis SH 69 that is proposed to be used for emergency access. Two of the micro -paths were also relocated to provide better pedestrian connectivity. Access is proposed via local streets from S. Standing Timber Way; direct lot access via Standing Timber & S. Meridian Rd. is prohibited except for emergency access. A 35' wide landscaped street buffer is required along S. Meridian Rd., an entryway corridor. Segments of the City's regional pathway system are required within the street buffer along Meridian Road & along the north boundary of the site adjacent to the Ridenbaugh Canal. There is an existing segment of the multi -use pathway on the adjacent property to the north along Meridian Rd. but there is an approximate 40' long section that is missing; the Commission recommends as a provision of the DA that the applicant construct this off- site improvement with this development if allowed by ITD through a license agreement A total of 10% (or 1.45 acres) of qualified open space & site amenities consisting of 2 segments of the City's multi -use pathway system and internal pathways are proposed in accord with UDC standards. This development will also be allowed to use the amenities in Caven Ridge East to the east of this site.

QUESTIONS RIM SPECIFIC CHANGES New Comp Plan Exhibits Text Changes to North & South Rim [Chapter 3, Page 21] Within Residential areas the following policies shall apply: •In residential areas, other residential densities will be considered without requiring a Comprehensive Plan Amendment. However, the density can only be changed one “step” (i.e., from low to medium, not low to high, etc.). This provision does not apply to 1) the area bounded by Can-Ada, Chinden, McDermott, and Ustick Roads or 2) within the Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan, or 3) within the North and South Rims as depicted in Appendix E where no “step up” is allowed. •Residential lots, streets and open spaces within the North Rim and South Rim areas (See Appendix E) should be oriented and designed to maximize view sheds. •For North and South Rim area properties (see Appendix E) designated Low Density Residential, not already annexed and zoned in the City uses north of Chinden Boulevard and within ¼ mile or less from the rim should have lot sizes should rangeing from one-half to one acre, ensuring compatibility with SpurWing Country Club to the east. Use of transitional lot sizes and clustering of smaller lots adjacent to the non-residential and rim property are encouraged. Green and underlined text is new, Red and strike-through text is removed Purple and underlined text is new, recommended since the last Council hearing on 10/26/2017 North & South Rim Policy Statements I.D. Goals / Objectives / Action Items Priority Responsible Lead Support 1 Staff Notes 3.01.03 Preserve view sheds of the Treasure Valley along the North Rim, South Rim, and at other notable vistas. On-going Community Development City Council New objective statement paired with the following three action items, and new text in Chapter 3, page 21 3.01.03A New residential subdivisions should make strategic use of large lots, terraced grades, community trails and open space, and siting and orientation of new building pads to optimize public view sheds. The topography and view sheds of adjacent properties should be considered when terracing. On-going Community Development City Council New action item paired with new objective 3.01.03, and with new text in Chapter 3, page 21 3.01.03B Residential building lots on properties within designated view shed areas should integrate regular breaks between dwellings, such as pocket parks, trails and trail access points, or incorporate large side yard setbacks, especially in estate, and low density neighborhoods. On-going Community Development City Council New action item paired with new objective 3.01.03, and with new text in Chapter 3, page 21 3.01.03C Residential building lots should make use of open vision fencing types, such as wrought iron and split-rail, especially when closed vision fencing would otherwise obscure view sheds from public spaces. On-going Community Development City Council New action item paired with new objective 3.01.03, and with new text in Chapter 3, page 21 North and South Rim: In Summary Within Rim Areas: •No residential “step up” allowed –e.g. - Can’t go from what is commonly referred to as “R-4” (Low Density) to Apartments without a Comp Plan Map (FLUM) amendment •For areas that (all of the below): •Have a Low Density Residential land use; and •Aren’t already developed, zoned, entitled, or have active applications. –Density range changes from 1 to 3 units per acre, to 1 to 1/2 acre lots.

QUESTIONS Proposed Rim Changes Impacted Trunksheds Note: The changes shown reflect standard future land use assumptions for the sewer model. Totals do not include committed (built/entitled) units. The important take away is the change between the two values and not the actual totals, which may be greater or less (likely less). This methodology was discussed with Public Works and their Sewer Master Plan consultant. Trunk shed #’s are for reference only. The Meridian Southern Rim Coalition Supports the Proposed Southern Rim Special Amendments Context 1. Clear record of step ups along the Southern Rim 2. Residents of the Southern Rim invested in a lifestyle using the FLUM as their guide for future land use 3. Many residents want larger lots 4. Residents of the Southern Rim do not perceive or accept R-4 as Low Density •City’s Plan for Future Growth •Homeowner Expectations •Buying Decisions R4 R4 R4 R4 R4 R8 R8 R8 R8 R4 R4 R4 R4 R4 R8 R2 R8 R4 R15 More Context •Residents are NOT opposed to development •Residents have opposed step ups with less than satisfactory outcomes •Many residents believe Council does not want larger lots and lower density (R-2) in Meridian •Residents desire a clear and updated vision for the Southern Rim that embraces its unique assets Rationale for Special Amendments •A successful precedent is in place for the North Rim •The amendments comply with the Comprehensive Plan •The amendments comply with the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) •Development is outpacing the timeline for a new Comp Plan and FLUM “Imperfect action is better than perfect inaction.” The Proposed Special Amendments address: A critical shortage of large lots in Meridian’s housing inventory The concerns and desires of Meridian constituents New Homes Built 1-1-2017 to 2-6-18: 850 new home builds •0 to .15 acre lots: 280 homes, or 33% •.16 to .25 acre lots: 436 homes, or 52% •.26 to .50 acre lots: 129 homes, or 15% (99 are less than .3 acre) •.51 to .75 acre lots: 5, or less than ½ of 1% (3 in Sky Mesa; a portion of each lot is sloped and non-buildable per development agreement) •.75 acre and greater: NONE Resident Support •Change.org petition “Approve Special Amendments Protecting Meridian’s Southern Rim” •256 signed •25 additional hard copies signed Resident Comments “Our children need space to play-in their own backyard. Families want a decent space with room to live without seeing, touching and hearing their neighbor. Please approve neighborhoods with 1/2 acre lots.” Michelle Burk “The growth in Meridian is adversely affecting the way of life that we have enjoyed for many years. There is a reason we chose to settle here and the constant growth, without infrastructure or consideration of a chosen ‘way of life’ is very disappointing…” Cari Smith More Comments “I’m signing this petition because no matter how hard we work and how many meetings we attend, our City representatives seem to always give developers step- ups when it comes to what land is previously zoned. So many people would like more land, and they are willing to pay for it!” Andrea Shelton More Resident Support •Change.org petition “Limit Residential Density in Meridian” asks Council to suspend ALL residential step ups in zoning. •863 signed petitions •25 additional hard copies signed Resident Comments “Meridian is a desirable location for a number of reasons…. The city is at a crossroads where growth will determine its future. The wonderful qualities that have attracted many to Meridian can be ruined if growth goes forward unchecked.” David Eastman Rationale for Amendment Approval The Special Amendments reflect Key Community Values as defined by Meridian’s Comprehensive Plan, page 3: •Manage growth to achieve high-quality development. 
 •Enhance Meridian’s quality of life for all current and future residents. 
 •Protect Meridian’s self-identity. 
 Additional rationale • Rural / Estate: to allow for agricultural uses and the ancillary development of single-family homes on large parcels where city services (e.g. – sewer and water) may or may not be provided. •Uses may include both small and larger-scale agricultural related activities and single-family homes at densities less than or equal to one unit per five acres. •New development should recognize existing agricultural uses and practices, respect view sheds and open space, and maintain or improve the overall health and production of agricultural lands and resources in the area. Summary The proposed amendment text ensures development consistent with the City’s current Future Land Use Map and Comprehensive Plan The proposed text reflects the wishes of surrounding neighborhoods and residents The proposed text will help provide urgently needed low density housing inventory •The City of Meridian has similar special amendments in place for the North Rim •We therefore ask the City of Meridian City Council to approve the proposed Southern Rim special amendments.

Susan Karnes Meridian, ID 2018-01-17 We hope you will ask your friends and neighbors in Meridian to sign. Thank you! Preserve Meridian Meridian, ID 2018-01-18 Meridian's growth happened so fast that infrastructure - schools and roads - are lagging far behind. The city planning has a direct effect on these services. We want Meridian citizens to have a high quality of life - less gridlock, smaller school class sizes, and larger yards. We want to protect what has made Meridian so great. Robin Card Meridian, ID 2018-01-18 I believe Meridian can do better than its surrounding neighbors by growing intelligently rather than for the sake of growth. If we do not, we will suffer the same ill-advised results as Boise. Amber Woolner Meridian, ID 2018-01-18 I’m am signing for multiple reasons. Breifly, I was present and active in all the discussions for the proposed West Ada school boundary changes. It was abundantly clear to me that our area is growing rapidly and the schools can not keep up the the growth. Rocky Mountain high school is 600-800 students over capacity and cannot even accommodate feeding this students lunch. Also, I lived 30 years in Gresham, Oregon and watched as a huge influx of people from surrounding states moved to our small city and city officials disregarded zoning to allow multiple family dwellings, walk-ups, town homes, flag lots, etc. There was no regulation to this building and crowding, pollution and crime grew exponentially and continues to do so. Withing a matter of ten years, a nightly news segment called “Meth Watch” appeared—that is how out of hand the situation became. I urge you to please consider our community safety and continuing and schools and overcrowding and limit the number of walk-ups, apartments and tow Alison Messersmith Meridian, ID 2018-01-18 Our infrastructure and schools are not set up for this type of growth. Slow down in all of Meridian and put things in place before considering taxing our existing roads and schools with more high density houses. It will affect the community, quality of life for residents, and education of our children. Scott Colberg Meridian, ID 2018-01-18 Growth can and should be managed in an intelligent fashion ensuring great living spaces for future generations Douglas Humphrey Anniston, ID 2018-01-18 It really is time we stop rubber-stamping every developer request, despite its negative implications for our quality of life. Unrestrained growth is not a good thing, except for those who profit from it. When the roads and schools are jammed and our nice little award-winning city has become a suburban jungle, what do you Name Location Date Comment think will happen? People with the means will flee to areas with a more thoughtful approach. Farrah Storli Meridian, ID 2018-01-18 I think developers need to help build new schools and roads when they develop areas. Right now I understand that while they may help with road building costs initially, they get their money back through tax breaks which means ultimately taxpayers shoulder the burden of this development. In my opinion, if developers need to outright help pay for roads and schools without getting their money back, we could slow development to keep it from growing too fast. Alicia Muhlestein Meridian, ID 2018-01-18 Growth needs to be managed here and infrastructure is not being set up to accommodate the out of control housing and building going on in Meridian. Carol Davis Meridian, ID 2018-01-18 The growth in North West Meridian is excessive and poorly planned to make it an area where people will want to live in the future? It is becoming much more urban rather than suburban. The thought of the traffic on Chinden doubling with the addition. of Costco keeps me up at night.. this doesn’t even include the increased traffic Linder Village will create. We will be trapped in our homes because we will be surrounded by terrible traffic on all sides. It’s time for intelligent planning with requirements like other cities have including Design plans which have to be approved and adhered to. I don’t know the background or education level of the people on our Plsnning & Zoning Commission but it seems like it’s time to bring in a highly experienced professional from a market that has delt with these issues before to head-up P & Z. Many of the most expensive homes are in Northern Meridian and the planning for the area is the opposite of what residents want. Example: Costco across from SpurWing?? These com David Eastman Meridian, ID 2018-01-18 Meridian is a desirable location for a number of reasons. This will keep the community from becoming a victim of its own success. The city is at a crossroads where growth will determine its future. The wonderful qualities that have attracted many to Meridian can be ruined if growth goes forward unchecked. Barbara Badigian Meridian, ID 2018-01-18 For all the same reasons that are stated within this petition but also because the roads within Paramount subdivision are not meant for 2 way traffic. They are too narrow. If cars are parked in front of a home on either side there is only room for 1 car to pass at a time. It would be a BIG problem. Beside a BIG safety issue with children within in the subdivision playing outside. Jennifer Ray Meridian, ID 2018-01-18 Smart growth is what we are trying to protect. Following the plans put in place is crucial. Laurel Bower Meridian, ID 2018-01-18 The infrastructure needs to be updated, and we don't want our quality of life in Meridian to continue to deteriorate.

Dr. Sarah Haynes Lerin Perry Meridian, ID 2018-01-19 Our schools are bursting at the seams! We need to pace ourselves with the amount of high density housing until the district can catch up. Rebecca Morris Meridian, ID 2018-01-19 Meridian is growing too fast to accommodate the traffic and for the schools. We have no real bus system to take any of the cars off the road and it looks like the planning commission wants to add at least another 50000 to our streets. Sara K Meridian, ID 2018-01-21 Too much congestion already! Too many empty homes. Cheryl Herz Boise, ID 2018-01-21 Love my town, just don’t understand why they keep building and building with no roads being widened to handle the Congestion. And we don’t have enough Police presents for the population from five years ago, let alone what’s moving in here� Adam Beers Palo Alto, CA 2018-01-21 I really think that the developers and builder should be responsible for some of the infrastructure costs from the beginning. There should be a charge based on the estimated number of residents, with extra attention to student number increase. That money should be used to expand roads, pay for schools and other infrastructure caused by the construction. I'm not saying they should be responsible for all of it, but part of it at least. Right now they are allowed to run rampant! This would do one of two or three things: It would curb developers because they don't want to pay the extra charge. Or it would cause the house cost to go up because they would pass that charge along to the home buyer, which would limit the ability to buy the house. There might be a few other outcomes, but the only people winning in the current situation are the developers and builders. The children are the losers. The schools are too overcrowded. The students are the leaders and workers of the future. The commuters are the l Susan Karnes Meridian, ID 2018-01-22 Good afternoon, and thanks for signing &quot;Limit residential density in Meridian.&quot; Since our last update, our petition drive has grown to 325+ and dozens more through a door-to-door campaign. Keep spreading the word!Today we ask that you support our friends and neighbors in South Meridian by signing their campaign to protect low density zones along Meridian's scenic Southern Rim. They ask that all of Meridian support special amendments to the city's comprehensive plan that mirror those already in place for the North Rim. Won't you please sign? The link is posted above.

Too much consideration to business interests over residential interests. Kathleen Gallagher Meridian, ID 2018-01-23 The City of Meridian has a Comprehensive Plan (2011) and a Land Use Map (2015) which have been adopted by Ada County. If those documents are not going to be followed, they need to be changed, with appropriate input from residents. Stop allowing developers and corporations to plan our city! Karan Reynolds Ammon, ID 2018-01-24 The quality of life in Meridian is being seriously damaged by over building. It's time to make the quality of life of the current Meridian residents a priority. Tony Brownlee Meridian, ID 2018-01-24 Please protect the quality of life and heritage my family has enjoyed for the past 6 generations. The quality of life that keeps those invested in the community here. Cheryl Hileman Moorpark, CA 2018-01-25 It is best for the community not to have high density housing in Meridian. Sharon Emel Boise, ID 2018-01-28 Daughters $600K home devalued immensely when high density apartments built a block away. Crime soared. Dave McDonald Meridian, ID 2018-01-29 High-Density Multi-Family developments are not compatible with single-family residential homes according to recent studies by Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis and Washington State.

Slow down the building. Angela Weaver Boise, ID 2018-02-02 I'm sick of huge neighborhoods popping up on streets that can't handle it. And we shouldn't have to send our kids to star schools from West ada because someone wants to line their pockets with cash. SHAME ON YOU.

Suzanne Troje Boise, ID 2018-02-03 Officials need to be accountable to citizens, not just developers! Alan Pace Meridian, ID 2018-02-03 There is no reason to be sticking 6 to 7 homes per acre either. Start zoning them on at least a minimum 100 by 100 lot. Brad Bauer Meridian, ID 2018-02-03 4 houses per acre is sufficient, lately I've seen more and more developments going to 8-10 houses/apartments/duplexes per acre like what they are doing on Ten mile and Chateau. The apartment complex they built on Meridian road between Ustick and Cherry has made traffic in the area just ridiculous and they are adding more and more houses without the infrastructure to support it. Growth is good, saturating every empty lot and farm land with hundreds of Name Location Date Comment homes crammed 2 feet apart is just assigning and extremely bad management. Rebecca Mullins Boise, ID 2018-02-03 It is taking away lands that is a part of life for livestock inside the city limits Justin Jackson Meridian, ID 2018-02-03 They need to slow down and fix the schools and roads issues first. David Schultz Anniston, AL 2018-02-03 There should be no construction commencement in residential subdivisions, apartment complexes or commercial developments unless adequate roadways are in place prior to a developer starting construction. charlene sotelo Caldwell, ID 2018-02-03 Because im with meridian i go through there everyday to work and its a headache. So much traffic and kids shouldnt be sitting on floors. Stop the growth. Andrea Pope US 2018-02-03 We need to take care of the fundamentals before allowing more and more homes to be built. Cheryl Power Boise, ID 2018-02-03 I am opposed to the out of control zoning step ups. Roads that can't sustain the already crowded traffic. Jeff Mortimer Mesa, ID 2018-02-03 I live in Meridian and the schools and roads are overcrowded. Joan Rudd Meridian, ID 2018-02-03 I'm worries about all the traffic on south eagle road, the overcrowded schools as top issues Gloria Hawkins Meridian, ID 2018-02-03 The city is growing so fast and the roads aren’t keeping up with the amount of traffic! Shannon Everett Meridian, ID 2018-02-04 To big to fast, slow down. Wendy McKinney Meridian, ID 2018-02-04 I appreciate good planning which consists of appropriate balance between Business and residents. Chance Bowser California 2018-02-04 Slowing growth would be better than having a community overrun and roads and housing becoming out of control Becky Gittings Boise, ID 2018-02-04 The roads and schools need to be able to keep up with the growth. Better planning for the traffic! Anne Gould Meridian, ID 2018-02-04 The pace and congestion of building in this area has spiraled out of control. We love the farm land, the open spaces, and the open air that has surrounded Meridian, but see it disappearing rapidly to more and more cookie cutter, small lot subdivisions and massive apartment complexes that will all feed into schools and roadways that are already terribly overcrowded. Brianna Dunn Meridian, ID 2018-02-04 The overcrowding in schools should be a top priority as these young lives are the future!! Let’s not set them up for failure! Growth is great but not at this alarming rate. Sylvia Schellhammer Meridian, ID 2018-02-04 I couldn’t agree more! I tell people this ALL OF THE TIME! I’m not liking living in Meridian anymore ## Name Location Date Comment Dorothy Pefferle Meridian, ID 2018-02-04 We need smart growth Happy to see City is bringing in professionals to help with planning issues. Much needed. Quality of life in Meridian is declining rapidly due to poor growth management and government bending over backwards for developers. Nick Merrick Nampa, ID 2018-02-04 My wife and I just purchased our home last year. Finding a home with a yard was incredibly difficult. The homes that are being built in the neighborhood next to ours are being built incredibly close together. It’s almost like living in appointments. I know developers want profit, but at what cost of our city? Andrew Allen Nampa, ID 2018-02-04 What is the goal of unmanaged non-stop growth? Our kids sit on the hallway floors at the over crowded Mt. View High School to eat lunch due to poor planning by our City Council. Classrooms are over crowded, thanks again. Have you driven the connector in the morning to get to work? If so, you would know what it is like to see your life flash before your eyes daily. Thanks for that. Why don't you slow the building permits and let home values rise in our communties? You would then have the time needed to devise a community friendly and responsible plan for growth. It would also allow the biggest investment most families make, buying a home, to appreciate in value. Instead you are artificially holding down our home values and reducing our return on investment just so you can continue to entice more people to move here and buy cheap homes verses where they are emigrating from.Over crowded schools, over crowded roads, more crime, less open space, enriching devlopers and builders... What kind of comunnity Jim Harmer Meridian, ID 2018-02-04 I have to agree. I am seeing higher density complexes like the giant one in Paramount, popping up right in the areas of Meridian where the traffic is already unreasonably high. Not good for Meridian’s future. Holly Coen Idaho 2018-02-04 I'm tired of NW Meridian... All of Meridian for that matter, being over developed at such an alarming rate, and it's not slowing down! We need to let the Mayor and city council of Meridian know that we're not going to stand for it and we can and will vote them out. They are not a shoe in to retain their positions! We need a new mayor and city council that respect those of us that live here and love it here and want growth in a controlled manner. They need not approve every single thing that every developer puts forth to them. Enough is enough!! Holly Papa US 2018-02-04 Stop listening to developers and start listening to your citizens. We want the quality of life of larger lots and more green spaces. Janee Fallis Greenacres, WA 2018-02-05 We chose to move here because it was similar to our hometown in size and there is less crime. I’m disappointed of how overcrowded the Treasure Valley has become and the crime rate keeps increasing in just the short time we have lived here. I especially don’t like how crammed these houses are together. Andrew Marincic Meridian, AL 2018-02-06 We moved into the Spurwing area because we liked the general feel of the area and the perceived growth. We looked at many areas in Treasure Valley and chose Spurwing because it provided what we were looking for. We were not looking for a huge mega-store to be Name Location Date Comment built less than a 1/2 mile away. Costco is not following the master plan and that is what many people look at when making a major decision as to where to live and work. What is a master plan for if it doesn't allow a family to plan for their future? Michael Battaglia Meridian, ID 2018-02-06 In the 20 months since moving here from Southern New Jersey, the growth of higher density housing has outstripped single family housing by a large margin. This leads to a lower quality of life. New Jersey is the most densely populated state (more people per square mile) than anywhere in the USA. This was the #2 reason we left New Jersey for Meridian, iID, other that the highest property taxes in they USA.. Lyndsey Cable Meridian, ID 2018-02-06 I live in this area and immediately affected my the outrageous growth. We too were under the assumption that what would be built around us would not be these giant Costco stores, apartment, and high density projects. It’s gotten crazy Jerry Stevenson US 2018-02-06 Sick of the city of Meridian creating all of the problems of traffic issues and over crowding of schools. Quality of life has been replaced with noise pollution. Sarah Sprague Meridian, ID 2018-02-06 I've watched this town be destroyed by the greedy city council for over 30 years! Enough is enough!! My senior year of high school I went to a town meeting for government class and watched them approve the apartment complex on Pine and 10mile, even though home owners stated they never signed the required papers to widen 10 mile that the apartment developers said were signed. They were called out on their lies and manipulation in that meeting and the council still let them build. That was when I lost faith in my town and the government as a whole.
