1999 at 7:37. Roll-call, Mr. Berg. Welcome, everybody here this evening, and I'm
glad to see you all. Council, we have on the Consent Agenda, Items A. Band C.
the approval of minutes of November the 3rd and the one the 10th and the grease
trap installation agreement. Any discussion?

ITEM 1.
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW: REQUEST
FOR ANNEXATION AND ZONING (R-T TO R-4) BY CHARLES
CRANE - LOCATED AT 3610 W. USTICK ROAD:
Meridian City Council Mee!
November 16,1999
Page 2
.
Corrie: The agenda, we were thinking about going through all the Findings of
Facts and Conclusions of Law under our Consent Agenda for 14 Items, but we
have a few that we need to probably discuss here with the City staff. So we'll
take the Items as they come. Item No.1 is a Findings of Facts and Conclusions
of Law: Request for annexation and zoning (R-T to R-4) by Charles Crane
located at 361O West Ustick Road. Staff, comments on Item 1?
Stiles: Mr. Mayor, Council, the Findings on Item 1, Page 7, Item 20, I believe
should be removed. It talks about providing services to surrounding institutional,
commercial and residential development, and this is just a 1.9 acre residential
subdivision, or proposed subdivision. Also on Page 8, 21.3 should be deleted,
21.5 should be deleted. Although Ada County Highway District had made a
recommendation on Page 13, they had asked for a driveway on Ustick Road
under 3.9 on Page 13, they'd asked for a driveway on Ustick Road to align with
Turnberry Way. Turnberry Way is not across the street from this subdivision. It's
a little further to the west. If we could change that to align with the public road on
the south side of Ustick Road. That's alii had on these Findings.
Corrie: Council, find any other things you'd like to see changed?
Bird: I have none.
Rountree: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: I move that we approve the Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law
and Decision of Order with the following corrections: On Page 7 delete Items 20,
Page 8 delete Items 21.3,21.5, and on Page 13, Item 3.9, delete the reference to
Turnberry Way and insert the words "public road."
Bird: Second.
Corrie: Okay. Motion made by Mr. Rountree, seconded by Mr. Bird to approve
the Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law with the exception to the changes.
Any further discussion? Roll-call vote; Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: Aye.

MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
Gigray: Mr. Mayor, point of procedure and information.
Corrie: Mr. Gigray.
Gigray: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, I believe on each of these
Comprehensive Plan land use designation changes, amendments, we've
prepared a Resolution in addition to the Findings for the Council to consider as
the State Law now requires that the Comprehensive Plans be approved by
Resolution rather than by Ordinance. We did not prepare an Ordinance. I
prepared a Resolution as a method to effectuate the decision that you have just
made. I see no problems with a timetable of that you could go ahead and
approve those Resolutions as you approve these Findings if you choose. If you
want to wait and put them on the Council agenda for the next meeting, that's a
matter of your discretion.
Corrie: I'd just soon do it one time.
Bird: I would too, Mayor.
Corrie: All right. We have the Resolution on Item No.5.
Bird: What's the Resolution No.?
Gigray: 263.
Bird: 263?

Clerk to attest Resolution No. 263. Any further discussion? Hearing none, all in
favor of the Resolution say aye.

acres from single-family residential to commercial by Developers Diversified

Staff.
Stiles: Nothing, Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: Mr. Mayor, procedural question. Were we going to see if there were
any citizens that were wishing to testify on these items because of the process
we went through last meeting?
Corrie: I don't think we - Mr. Gigray, can we do that? I think we only had one
that was continued public hearing.
Gigray: Right. There was one and the rest you did not continue. There was
some discussion as to whether or not a question might be asked by the Mayor or
with leave of counsel if anyone was appearing tonight thinking there was a public
hearing on any of those matters.
Bird: People left early, remember?
Corrie: Is anybody here that left early that were going to testify on any of these
Comprehensive Plan changes that we're going through tonight? Other than the -
Item 17 which is single-family residential, mixed/planned use development for
Touchmark Living Centers which is a continued public hearing.
Gigray: Matter of procedure, Mr. Mayor and members of the Council, I'd
recommend that for purposes, the record that you might direct that the minutes
show that no one responded to that call.

ITEM 7.
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW: REQUEST
FOR ANNEXATION AND ZONING TO C-C OF 13.09 ACRES BY
DEVELOPERS DIVERSIFIED REALTY CORPORATION - 4000
E. FAIRVIEW, % MILE EAST OF EAGLE ROAD:
Corrie: Item No.7 is the Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law: Request for
annexation and zoning to C-C of 13.09 acres by Developers Diversified Realty
Corporation, 4000 East Fairview and % mile east of Eagle Road. Staff, changes
on Seven?
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, on Page 5, Paragraph 15, it's a little awkward
because the Comprehensive Plan was just approved for change to make this
commercial, but the way it reads is that the zoning is not consistent with the
Meridian Comprehensive Plan which designates a subject property is
commercial. It would have been single-family residential, so I guess I would
defer to legal counsel to how we can clean that up.
Corrie: Mr. Gigray.
Gigray: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, the state of affairs at the time I
drafted this was at this time we can reflect that the change has been in effect as
you've just acted. The plan, the generalized land use plan has been changed by
your action. We can change that Finding to reflect that.
Corrie: Okay. Thank you. Anything else, Shari?
Stiles: No, sir.
Corrie: Okay. I'll entertain a motion, then, on Item No.7.
Bentley: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bentley.
Bentley: I move we approve the Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law and
Order granting annexation and zoning for Diversified - Developers Diversified
with the correction on Item 15, Page 5, the Comprehensive Plan has been
changed to allow this.
Bird: Second.

MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
Bird: Don't we have a Resolution on that?
Corrie: Is there an Ordinance on that?
Gigray: On an annexation and zoning, there - (inaudible) No. Because there's a
Development Agreement associated with that. Mr. Mayor and members of the
Council, and that Development Agreement I also anticipate will be involved with
the next Item on your agenda, and then the schedule the ordinance passage for
the next meeting has been your standard procedure.

Gigray: That'd be correct. I might advise the Council for your information, we
have prepared in light of the direction you gave me at the last Council meeting
with anticipation of preparing these Findings and Development Agreement, and
because it has been represented by the developers in the public hearings that
this property which is the subject of Item No.8 and the property which was the
subject of Item No.7 will be developed together. We have prepared one
Development Agreement which will effect both properties with a proviso that the
owner of the property that's subject to Item No.7 would only be responsible for
the provisions of the Development Agreement as it pertains to that particular
property. That's prepared and then, I think,. has been submitted to the Clerk
today for consideration by the developer if you act on this Item.
(inaudible discussion amongst Council members)
Corrie: Mr. Bentley.
Bentley: I move that we approve the Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law,
request for rezone of 11.4 acres from I-L to C-C by Developers Diversified Realty

Comprehensive Plan Amendment from single-family residential to mixed
residential for Terrace Lawn Memorial Gardens, Inc., by Clark Development/Bill
Clark, south of Fairview Avenue between Eagle Road and Cloverdale. Staff.
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, this was recommended for mixed/planned use
development and not mixed residential. The recommendation by Planning and
Zoning Commission was for mixed/planned development. On Page 13 of 16, it
still refers in Item 1, third and fourth line is mixed residential. Also on Page 14,
second line, it says mixed residential. Then also the wording in the Resolution
would need to be changed to from mixed residential to mixed/planned use
development.
Corrie: It wouldn't make a difference (inaudible) cemetery.

described that the City would support mixed/planned use development.

Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, this was also recommended by Planning and

it wasn't clear by what the motion was by Council, the applicant did get up and
agree to changing the designation to mixed/planned use instead of the
commercial that was requested.

BASEBALL ACADEMY - NORTHWEST CORNER OF AMITY
AND MERIDIAN ROAD:
Corrie: Okay. Item No. 12 is a Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law:
Request for Comprehensive Plan Amendment from single-family residential to
mixed/planned use by Idaho Baseball Academy, northwest corner of Amity and
Meridian Road. Staff, comments?
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, I believe the motion - the recommendation from
Planning and Zoning Commission and the motion by Council for this was to
designate the two acres shown on their plan as mixed/planned use development
and the remainder of that would be park, open space designation. I don't see
any reference to the park.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Meridian City Council Meel
November 16, 1999

Bird: I believe my motion, seconded by Mr. Rountree, that the attorney draw
Findings of Fact, Decision of Order in favor of Comprehensive Plan Amendment
from single-family residential to mixed/planned use by the Idaho Baseball, and
not a thing said about two acres.
Stiles: Do you have the minutes with you?
Bird: I got the minutes right here.
Rountree: I know it was discussed.
Bird: We discussed that, and that's what the motion come through that way. We
didn't feel it was fair to tie them down to two acres.
Stiles: I am showing the (inaudible)
Bird: The decision of the Planning and Zoning Commission. But that had been
discussed at that point.
Stiles: It was two acres mixed/planned use and the remainder park (inaudible).
Bird: I didn't understand it that way.
Corrie: Mr. Gigray, do we have any problem with the Ada County planning on
this proposal? I remember a letter coming in from the Ada County Planning.
Gigray: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, the letter from the County indicated
that the redesignation of the mixed/planned use might pose some problems with
their existing zoning as to whether or not the intended development of this
applicant could be accommodated without some kind of ordinance change, but in
this instance, remember a Comprehensive Plan drives what will be done as on
the ordinance, so this is kind of the top of the chain. That would be some
problematic issues that the developer might have to deal with the County. As I
remember, there was also some indication in there that they might want to see
some wording in our written Comprehensive Plan regarding what that
mixed/planned use meant, and I suppose that would be for guidance for them on
potential future zoning, and I don't think the application included such a request,
and since you already have and recognize such a use on your Comprehensive
Plan, generalized land use plan, you could facilitate the request. Again, as I've
indicated before, these are your Findings, and you make the changes as you see
them based on the record. It isn't a final action until you take it, approve them.
Corrie: Any further discussion on this two acres and the rest of the open space?
Mr. Bird? Motion to mixed use?
Meridian City Council Meet
November 16, 1999
Page 21

Bird: I didn't understand it that way, but I guess - I thought we'd thrown that part
out of the Planning and Zoning. I would move to table this until the next meeting.
I don't think that's the way the owners understood it, did they?
Rountree: Second.
Corrie: Okay. Motion has been made by Mr. Bird and seconded by Mr.
Rountree to table item No. 12 for next meeting for further discussion with the
owners.
Gigray: Mr. Mayor, just a point of information while you're considering a vote, if
that'd be agreeable with Mayor and Council. If you wish to give me some
direction about some potential revisions of these so you have something to look
at the next Council meeting, I'd certainly entertain such an accompaniment to
that motion so that I could present you with something else to look at if you
desire which could include a designation of the entire parcel mixed/planned use if
that's what your intentions were or to do the two acres with the park designation
if that's what your intentions were. Some of these Findings, of course, support
the ultimate decision which would mean I have to go back through and review
those for some other potential changes in light of the end result.
Corrie: Okay.
Bird: I'd like to see that if any part of the motion - I thought it was mixed use,
and I don't know what the other guys thought, but I thought we had discussed
and taken that out. I'd like to see some action on that.
Rountree: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: From my prospective, I recall a discussion, also recall that we
included the Planning and Zoning's recommendation in the motion, and I also
recall that the applicant got up before us and generally shook his head and said, I
can agree with that. Wasn't it necessarily his preferred decision on his part, but I
recall that he was in general agreement with that kind of a concept with the two
acres of commercial or mixed use and the remainder as a park designation. I
think we then would have to write some kind of explanation to the County as to
how that particular use classification was interpreted what could go on there. I
believe, at least from my point of view, I'd like to see that angle addressed --
*** End of Side 1 ***
Bird: (inaudible), Charlie? That's how they basically stand now.
Rountree: No. It's not real clear about -
Meridian City Council Meet
November 16. 1999
Page 22
.:
Bird: It isn't real clear.
Rountree: -- the general findings indicate that it's mixed use.
Corrie: So, Mr. Gigray can (inaudible)
Rountree: Needs to be clarified.
Bird: Yeah. Get it clarified.
Corrie: So that's okay for the addition in your second, then?
Rountree: I'll second that.
Gigray: This is park and two acres then; is that what we're doing?
Corrie: Yes. Okay. All right. The motion is to table Item No. 12 with the
attorney to work on the two acres and the mixed/planned use. Questions? Any
further discussion?
Gigray: Just one additional question if I might ask for the Council is my definition
as have crafted in this decision with regards to where the two acres is in
accordance with your thinking on this. I tried to tie it to the site plan that was
presented and the activity in the site plan that would match that type of use since
we don't have a separate parcel.
Bird: Yeah. I don't know how your going to - I don't know what two acres you're
going to tell them -
Gigray: It also includes a provision that the applicant would submit a legal
description as requested by Staff and Public Works Department that they could
map it.
Rountree: I believe your description is, Mr. Mayor, I believe your description is
how they portrayed the two acres.
Gigray: So I don't need to change that?
Rountree: I don't think so.
Corrie: That's the Hall of Fame waiver and baseball (inaudible) it says of two
acres or more.
Bird: Yeah.
Meridian City Council Mea

Gigray: Yeah. I just did two acres more or less so that it could fit whatever it is
because we didn't have exact measurements.

one?
Stiles: Mr. Mayor, Council, on Items 13 and 14, we have met with the applicant.
There are some conditions in the Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law that
they wish to have amended now. So we are waiting some revised site plans and
revised narrative for the application so we can notice for a new public hearing
and incorporate those changes if the Council chooses to.
Gigray: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Gigray.
Gigray: There was a Council just to assist in this, I believe I submitted a memo
to the Mayor and Council regarding that meeting and a recommendation that the
Council consider a motion to re-opan the public hearing and to re-set it providing
the notice of (inaudible) under law, receive additional evidence and testimony
which would effect the issues with regards to particularly pathways and roadways
and other items which would be affected and would be beyond what Staff felt
would be done and still to make those changes still be within the framework of
the public hearing and the record that's been produced in this matter.

Rountree: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: A question for counsel. That would be hearings for both of the rezone
as well as the conditional use should be re-opened?
Gigray: I think the potential conditions would probably cross both ones, and the
safe play would be to re-open them. We had a meeting with their - the owners
and with their representatives, and I think they fully understand this and would
agree to this action. .
Corrie: I'll entertain a motion to move re-opening of the public hearing. Do we
need a date?
Bird: We need to table these.
Corrie: Yeah. We do need to table them, but we do need to re-open them.

signed -- signature on the Development Agreement.
Corrie: Will, do you have that?
Berg: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, yes. I have his signature on the
Development Agreement. They submitted a thick package that I passed onto Mr.

Bird: Are we ready to dance?
Corrie: Yeah. We can - do you want to do that one?
Bird: Well, I just wanted to know if we got everything we need.
Corrie: Okay. I'll entertain a motion on Item 15.
Gigray: I believe this would be the first reading of an annexation ordinance and
zoning. Isn't that - or first you could move to authorize the Mayor to sign the
Development Agreement if that isn't on the record. This has been tabled for
awhile so it's a little confusing. That'd probably be the first motion and then you
can deal with the -
Corrie: Annexation.
Gigray: -- annexation and zoning ordinance. But since the developer has
already signed the Development Agreement, that's usually the only reason why
you hold those up.
Rountree: Mr. Mayor.

ordinance reflect the most recent changes?
Gigray: Mr. Mayor, Councilman Rountree, members of the Council, there really
were no changes. What we were waiting on had to do with corporate issues and
certification from the Secretary of State and waiting for Resolutions, and I think
that the corporation Ionic's people were in and out of the office, and that caused
them some delay, and that's the only reason we've been holding it.

Council will remember, at the time that we had the last public hearing on
annexation and zoning, we also went over the entire conditional use and
presented the various fords that Staff has describing what would be done on-site,
and we held over - the Council held off on reviewing the Commission's
recommendations pending the final adoption of annexation and zoning and
signing of the Development Agreement. You have the recommendations by the
Commission before you which we agree with except there are just maybe two or
three that I'd like to direct the Council to and just indicate how we have provided
you with more information or a question that we have. With that, we will - after I
get through with that, we have Bryce Peterson here and Doug Tamura, the
architect and designer that can answer any specific questions that you might
have after following on the other public hearing that we've had. I'm looking right
now at 1.27 which is found on Page 6 of your recommendations. This states that
the proposed height of Building D, these are the buildings, the two buildings that
are southerly most on the property. When we originally presented it to the P & Z,
they were approximately 33 feet, and the Commission at that point was saying
that they wanted to see further detailed and representation at the hearing, and I
think they meant the City Council hearing. On the actual height of the buildings
and what we presented to the Council at the last public hearing was the fact that
those hearings had been reduced in height from three- to two-story so that they
are approximately 26 feet in height, and the Staff has plans that show that. So I
think that recommendation just reflect the fact that the plans now show that, and
that is our intention. Then looking at 1.31 and 1.32, this is on Page 7. I think we
explained this to the Council, but the Planning and Zoning's recommendation
was that they didn't think they saw an apartment maintenance building. As you
will recall, there is an existing structure on site that will be remodeled for the
clubhouse, for the laundry and the clubhouse, and the garage of that building will
be used for maintenance equipment. In 1.32, their recommendations talk about
storage areas for things such as boats, campers and trailers. This was
something that I have to say I don't recall discussing either at the Planning and
Zoning Commission and looking back at the transcript or the City Council. We do
meet your parking requirements at two spaces per unit, so we are meeting your
requirements. I think that this particular recommendation would fall away.
Finally, I'll just turn you to the last two pages, Pages 8 and 9. These were the
specific recommendations of the P & Z Commission, 1.43 that the two buildings
shall be reduced to two stories which they have, and on the following page, the
unimproved right-of-way shall be maintained at the expense of the developer,
and that is true. On 1.45, with regard to ACHD, it has always been our intent to
meet all of ACHD's requirements. At the Planning - as we talked about at the
last City Council meeting, at the Planning and Zoning Commission, there was a
discussion with Larry Sale about whether or not that intersection should be
improved at that point. Mr. Sale was explaining to the Commission that, no, right
now ACHD was looking for more flexibility with regard to that intersection. I'm
just reading from my notes from that hearing. That when it becomes a safety

.
problem, ACHD can move funds to reconstruct and install a signal or add turn
lanes. He was explaining to the Commission that, no, ACHD had not made that
requirement or made that requirement of this applicant, and it was not making
that recommendation. We will- so we are asking that that condition of approval
be clarified to say the applicant will meet all ACHD's requirements, but with
regard to a proportionate share of improvement, that would be left up to ACHD.
At this point, they are not asking for that. So, other than those few modifications,
we're in agreement with the recommendations of the Planning and Zoning
Commission. We'll stand for questions and respectfully ask that you approve the
conditional use as you have the zoning and annexation.
Corrie: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: I'm just a little slow at taking notes, so bear with me.
Butler: Okay.
Rountree: The second item you mentioned after 1.27.
Butler: 1.31.
Rountree: Okay.
Butler: That's the - there is an existing structure on-site that's going to be used
for clubhouse and, I guess, P & Z would - was wondering where will
maintenance equipment be held, and that will be in the garage of this structure
which exists.
Corrie: Excuse me, but did you say 1.32 to eliminate?
Butler: Yeah. We're asking that that be eliminated. It references, it says that
there does not appear to be any storage areas provided on the site, and they're
talking in terms of boat, campers and trailers. That wasn't - it's certainly not a
requirement under the Ordinance, and we think that we are very well parked for
this site to - two spaces per unit, so if that should become an issue, that people
would have spaces. I don't think it's our idea to encourage that.
Rountree: That's alii have.
Corrie: Any comments, Council?
Bentley: Comment for Staff. Shari, your response to her - response of your
questions?
Stiles: I do agree that the storage at least for the maintenance of the facility
could be accommodated in the existing building. Under 1.32, it is referring
Meridian City Council Mel
November 16, 1999

specifically to an ordinance requirement for planned developments that asks for
that additional parking, and what our comment was that they either provide that
or submit some information justifying why that was not required; why they didn't
need it.
Bentley: She's stating there's extra parking spaces; is that true? Is there enough
there to handle or do we require this to be in a separate area?
Stiles: It meets ordinance requirements for parking.
Bird: But it don't for storage.
Bentley: But it doesn't for storage.
Stiles: The way the Ordinance reads, it does ask for additional storage areas,
but in an apartment complex, we don't think that you would see a lot of that.
Bentley: Okay. Thank you.
Corrie: Bryce.
Rountree: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Yes.
Rountree: Just on that topic and question of Shari, would a maintenance
restriction or management restriction on the site would preclude residents from
having those kinds of things on the site be sufficient to get around that?
Stiles: Yes, I believe it would.
Bentley: Because it's going to come up.
Peterson: Mayor and members of the Council, my name is Bryce Peterson. I'm
representing the (inaudible) Stamas Corporation who will be the owners of this
property. Our - the management company would not permit the use of the
parking facilities for that, anything that might be of a nature that would be a trailer
or a boat or like that. We would like to have you (inaudible) with Councilman's
Rountree suggestion that we provide in the approval of this project that we don't
allow it. It certainly would please us if that were in there.
Bird: Put it on our backs.
Peterson: Any questions?
Corrie: Thank you.
Meridian City Council Me.

Peterson: Thank you.
Corrie: Thank you. Anyone else like to issue testimony on Item No. 16? Okay.
Council, any questions?
(inaudible)
Corrie: You'd better come up here and give us a few words in.
Fox: Alan Fox, 1840 Cadillac Drive. Shari, could you go back to the previous
one where you had the yellow spot up there showing it? Thank you. They show
Locust Grove as going straight across which it doesn't right now. There's no
projection when that's going to happen. I talked to Larry Sale two weeks ago, he
told me you guys are - Meridian City Council of Meridian is going in for a federal
grant. If they get that, the overpass over the freeway will be two to four years
down the road. I said, "What happens if they don't get the grant?" He said, "I
can't give you a timeframe." There's also an original time, first time in here, I
didn't make the meeting. I was told that the signatures that were turned into you,
they were told that the signatures (inaudible) didn't live right next door, so you
didn't care about the signatures. They came from other subdivisions. 200 of
those I collected, and they came from the blanks - the bottom up was R-T, Shari,
on down. No. Lower. Right down - right there. Okay. That subdivision you're
going to hear about tonight. They (inaudible) 180 homes in there. We border
that. My subdivision. Locust View Heights. I took 200 signatures out of that
area and was on (inaudible) go by the intersection down there every day at least
twice a day. Traffic right now is crowded. This, basically, is the same type of
apartment complex setup that you turned down on Overland and Locust Grove a
couple of months ago. Originally, (inaudible) plan for the road and Five Mile
Creek's going in there. He claims he's got 6.15. By the time we get done giving
up land for roads and everything, he's going to be down close to four acres. He's
going to be under five acres, I'll bet, to build on. His original plan when he came
in, he had 12 apartments in there, and it was only going to be one to two of them
going to be two stories. The second time he came back, there were three to four.
Now he's down to nine buildings, and all of them are going to be three-story he
wants. That's building right there (inaudible) too high density. He doesn't have
the room that he started out with that he thought he had to build in there. As
Locust View Association strongly oppose this going in on the corner there due to
the high density and the problems we have with traffic. I thank you.
Corrie: Okay. Any questions of Council?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Thank you, Mr. Fox. Anyone else from the public?
Meridian City Council Me!

Roberson: My name is Ernie Roberson, and I live right next to this development.
On Item 1.26 where it says that south boundary be incorporated with a berm at
least three feet, we don't think that's (inaudible) going to put a berm of three feet,
then we should have the brick wall or a masonry wall on top of the berm because
for sound, we go right next to this (inaudible) development. Also I believe your
ordinance says that it is 20 feet from my fence to his fence. I think right now
you're saying that it's 15. So we are saying that it should be, your City Ordinance
says it should be 20 feet. Also, if they are now the owners of that property,
there's a dead animal in the creek. We have talked to everybody in the ACHD
and so forth, and they said it's the property owners' responsibility to remove the
dead animal. I'd love to see that done. Thank you.
Corrie: Anyone else like to issue testimony? Okay. Ms. Butler, do you want to-
any comments on the testimony?
Butler: Thank you, Mr. Mayor. We appreciate all the neighbors' comments that
they've provided us and the Council at the last hearing. Just briefly, again, these
are not three stories, but two stories. The density, I appreciate that people would
not like to see perhaps any homes in the vicinity, but this - the allowed density is
40 units per acre, and this stands at 14.9, so much decreased density from what
is allowed. We also appreciate that everybody has concerns about the traffic.
As Larry Sale said at the last hearing, he has bad news and bad news. Traffic in
the area is an issue, but it's an issue that ACHD is dealing with. It's not reached
the issue where they feel they need to improve the intersection at this point, that
they're very much aware of it by virtue of the fact that Mr. Sale has been at so
many meetings about this particular area. They're obviously trying to convey to
Meridian that they're aware of it. So with that, again, we think that - we
appreciate the comments raised, but we think that we've dealt with those issues
and are asking the Council to approve this tonight.
Corrie: Can you get the animal out of there?
Butler: Sure. Yes.
Corrie: Thank you.
Butler: And thank you for - that we've been made aware of that.
Corrie: Okay. Council, any questions on the public hearing?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Okay. I'll entertain a motion to close the continued public hearing at this
time.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.

Any further discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor of the motion say aye.

Corrie: Council, discussion? Okay. Hearing no discussion on Item 16, I'll
request a motion on the conditional use permit.
Rountree: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: Just a procedural question. I've missed a step on this. We do need
Findings, correct? Okay. Mr. Mayor, I will move that we have the city attorney
prepare Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law on this request for conditional
use permit and that the Findings of Facts and Conclusion reflect
recommendations of the Planning and Zoning Commission with the following
changes: Item 1.27 reflect that the adjacent building heights to surrounding
properties be no more than two stories; Item 1.31 reflect that the maintenance
equipment will be stored on-site in the existing garage; Item 1.32 reflect that
parking will meet a City of Meridian's Ordinance and that further no on-site
parking for recreational vehicles, commercial vehicles be allowed; on Page 8,
Item 1.43 - do you have that? Would you read that to me?
Corrie: Which one?
Rountree: 1.43.
Corrie: 1.43. The two buildings identified as D-type buildings shall be restricted
to two-story buildings.
Rountree: Okay. Again, that the building height be restricted to two stories; and
Item 1.45 that the intent there is that the applicant will meet all of ACHD
requirements.
Bird: Are you done? Second.
Rountree: I'm done.
Meridian City Council Me.

Bird: I second it.
Corrie: Motion is made and seconded to approve the request for conditional use
permit and have the attorney draw up the Findings of Facts and Conclusions of
Law incorporating the Planning and Zoning comments and other changes made
by Councilman Rountree. Any further discussion?
Anderson: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: Just like to go on record that I do appreciate the developer working
with some of the concerns of the citizens, and I think you've tried to address
some of those. From my perspective, I oppose this project from its start, and
primarily for the concerns a lot of the citizens are stating. Franklin Road not
being widened yet, no stoplight, Locust Grove not being improved or widened,
the possibility of an overpass, things like that. So, I again, at this point, I think it's
a good project and I think at some point it would fit in there very nicely, I guess,
I'm still going to vote against this simply because I think we ought to put the
. infrastructure and build the roads first, and then buildings up; however, the
funding is not there to do that, and so I think I'm kind of on the losing end of this
battle, but I just wanted to go on record as stating that.
Corrie: Any further comments?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Okay. Roll-call vote; Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: No.
Corrie: Mr. Bentley.
Bentley: Aye.

ITEM 17.
CONTINUE PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT FROM SINGLE-FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL TO MIXED/PLANNED USE DEVELOPMENT
(TOUCHMARK LIVING CENTERS, INC.) BY JOSEPH A.
BILLlGIWA TERFORD DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION
COMPANY - EAST OF ST. LUKE'S BETWEEN 1-84 AND
FRANKLIN ROAD:
Corrie: Item No. 17. This is a continued public hearing. This is a request for
Comprehensive Plan Amendment from single-family residential to mixed/planned
use development, Touchmark Living Centers, Inc., by Joseph A. Billig / Waterford
Development and Construction Company, east of St. Luke's between 1-84 and
Franklin Road. At this time, I'll open the public hearing and hear from Staff first.
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, this is for a request for Comprehensive Plan
Amendment change. Some of this property from single-family residential
designation to mixed/planned development. A portion of this, approximately to
here is already designated as mixed/planned development. The applicant has
submitted applications for annexation and zoning and conditional use permit on
this property which will go to - I can't remember when it's going to - anyway, it's
on its way to you. There's two applications. Staff's recommendation was that
they did include this piece of property within that mixed/planned use area so that
there wouldn't be a mixed/planned use development designation surrounding it,
and then this would still be single-family residential. They did agree with that.
Do you all have preliminary Findings?
Corrie: Yes.
Stiles: I just did have one comment on those. I don't know if - I guess I'll wait
until the public hearing is over.
Corrie: Okay. This is a public hearing and invite the developer's representatives
first.
Bowcutt: Becky Bowcutt, Briggs Engineering, 1800 West Overland. I think I kind
of gave you a presentation on this two weeks ago, so I'll keep this quite brief.
We're asking for the mixed/planned use development on this property. As 1
mentioned before, a portion of the Bews' property is already designated
mixed/planned use development. We're just asking for that designation to be
continued to the east up to the Meridian Impact Boundary there; Edgeview
Estates and the Ridenbaugh Canal. We have done a traffic study on this project.
It was submitted to ACHD. We received comments from their staff in writing that
promotes this Comprehensive Plan use change according to their analysis, the
number of trips per day would be less than if this property were to develop as,
say, an R-4, single-family development. As Shari indicated, the conditional
uselrezone/annexation applications are working their way through the process.
Meridian City Council Me!g

.
They'll be heard by the Planning and Zoning Commission in December. At that
point in time, we'll start getting into the specifics. At this time, we're just asking
for the Comprehensive Plan change to proceed forward so that we may continue
on. We did hold a neighborhood meeting a week or so ago. We had a good
turnout. We talked to the Montvue neighbors, talked to the Edgeview residents,
and we're trying to work through some of the issues that we know will be brought
up when this comes through as a CU and annexation rezone. Thank you.
Corrie: Thank you. Anyone else from the public like to issue testimony on Item
No. 17? Okay. Shari, comments?
Stiles: I just had one item on the Findings. On Page 3, Paragraph 7 should
indicate that the property is south of Franklin Road and north of 1-84.
Corrie: Any other comments? Close the public hearing? Okay. I'll entertain a
motion to close the public hearing.
Bentley: So moved.
Rountree: Second.
Corrie: Motion made and seconded to close the public hearing. Any further
discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor of the motion say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
Corrie: Mr. Gigray, is there any (inaudible) difference between the Findings of
Facts on the Decision of Order for the request for Comprehensive Plan
Amendment from the original?
Gigray: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, as I remember, the public hearing
which you continued was virtually completed at the last meeting, and I think you
continued this just in case someone else might appear. I don't believe that there
was any new evidence produced and the correction as indicated by the Planning
and Zoning Administrator is a good note of a misdesignation of north and south
and is appropriate. I think we prepared a Resolution on this as well.
Rountree: Yes.
Corrie: That would be Resolution No. 268 if you'd like to incorporate it in your
motion, whoever does.
Bird: 269.
Corrie: Oh my goodness.

Rountree: And include the correction on Page 3, getting the direction, the proper
order.
Bentley: Second.

ITEM 18.
PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR VACATION OF PUBLIC
UTILITIES AND DRAINAGE EASEMENTS ON LOTS 5, 6, 12, 13
BLOCK 7, WHITESTONE ESTATES NO.3 SUBDIVISION BY
WHITESTONE DEVELOPMENTS, LLC - NORTH OF WEST
FRANKLIN ROAD AND WEST OF SOUTH LINDER ROAD:
(Where upon meeting was in recess at 9:12 p.m.)
Corrie: Okay. 9:20 reconvene the City Council, Item No. 18. Is a public hearing,
a request for a vacation of public utilities and drainage easements on lot 5, 6, 12,
13, block 7, Whitestone Estates No.3 Subdivision by Whitestone Development.
So I'll open the public hearing on Item 18. Staff, comments first. Yeah. That's
you, Shari or Gary.
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, this is for a vacation of easements. The
Whitestone Subdivision was originally proposed with stub streets going to the
south. The Meridian School District has since taken that property to the south
where an elementary school and when they replatted it, the county engineer
required them to leave the existing easements on the plat for these four lots and
that's what they're asking for is vacation of those previously approved
easements.
Corrie: Gary.
Smith: Mr. Mayor, Council members, typically we receive from each of the
affected utilities a signed statement, notarized signature, indicating that they
relinquish their rights to these easements. Mr. Gigray has some information for
Meridian City Council Me.

you this evening on the State statute requirements for vacation of these
easements. Since this is part of a previously recorded final plat, Bill has
explained to me that these statutes would apply as they are written, and
somewhat simplifies the process for vacating of these easements.
Corrie: Mr. Gigray.
Gigray: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, since this is part of - these
easements are part of the plat, it appears that the procedure that you would
follow is in the subdivision statutes of the State which is under 50-1306A,
Subsection 5 which requires on vacation that upon receipt of agreement in
writing of the persons who hold of the easement rights that you're in a position
where you could proceed to grant the application for vacation, and I believe that's
what the Public Works Director said is on file and part of the record. Makes a
difference, this is always very kind of dicey because if it isn't in a plat, then we
have to follow a completely different procedure that's more cumbersome.
Corrie: Okay. Thank you. Is there anybody from the public that would like to
issue testimony on the Item No. 18, request for a vacation of public utilities and
drainage?
Ackley: (inaudible)
*** End of Side 2 ***
Ackley: -- or what it involved.
Corrie: Okay. Your name, please.
Ackley: Fred Ackley.
Corrie: Okay. A-C-K-L-E-Y?
Ackley: Yep.
Corrie: Okay.
Ackley: So is this for the utilities that are -
Corrie: Right. This is for the public utilities and drainage easements on one, two,
three, four lots in Block 7.
Ackley: Right. But it's for putting in the elementary school that they're going to
vacate that section of it, or -
Smith: Mr. Mayor.
Meridian City Council Me!
November 16.1999

Corrie: Mr. Smith.
Smith: Mr. Mayor, Council members, originally when the Whitestone plat was
platted, recorded, the developer showed two streets extending to the south into
the area that's now occupied or will be occupied by the school. These two stub
streets are the item of the vacation request. Because when the property was
sold to the school district by the developer, then these stub streets were no
longer needed because they're accessing the property oft of the street to the
south, Waltman, correct? So these two stubs were not needed. The lots along
the north boundary of this school district property then were replatted, and the
replat was required by the county engineer to show these previously recorded
rights-of-ways as an easement. So this process that's being requested now is to
vacate those easements, and so the recorded plat of the amendment to this
section of the previously recorded plat will, this process will eliminate those
easements.
Ackley: Okay.
Corrie: Thank you. Anyone else like to issue testimony at this point? Okay. If
there's no other testimony, I'll entertain a motion to close the public hearing on
Item No. 18.
Rountree: So moved.
Bird: Second.
Corrie: Motion made and seconded to close the public hearing on Item No. 18.
All those in favor say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
Corrie: Okay. I'll entertain a motion for Findings of Facts and Conclusions of
Law to be drawn up.
Anderson: Mr. Mayor.

favorably on this vacation.

ITEM 19.
PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR VACATION OF TWO 10-
FOOT WIDE PUBLIC UTILITY EASEMENTS BY W.H. MOORE
COMPANY LOTS 5 AND 6 OF BLOCK 1, MERIDIAN BUSINESS
PARK:
Corrie: Item No. 19 is a public hearing: Request for vacation of two 1 O-foot wide
public utility easements by W.H. Moore Company, Lots 5 and 6 of Block 1,
Meridian Business Park. I'll open the public hearing. Staff, comments?
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, this is for vacation of those easements. They
would be located south of - west of East 5th and south of Bower Street on -
actually, it would involve four lots instead of just the two that are shown there.
Corrie: Shari, we can't see what you're -
Stiles: I believe those easements - there's a five-foot public utility easement on
the south side of these two lots, and then another five-foot easement here, and
then another five-foot easement on each side of this property line. And they're
requesting vacation of those easements so that they can construct a single
building using these three lots.
Corrie: Gary, same situation?
Smith: Yes, Mr. Mayor and Council members. It's a similar situation. I do have
the relinquishment of easements from the affected utility companies in
possession.

Seal: Good evening. My name is Jonathan Seal. I'm with W.H. Moore
Company, 600 North Steelhead. I'm not sure that I can really add anymore to it.
In essence, we just have two ten-foot public utilities through there. We're
ultimately buildings will be situated. We're asking that they be vacated. All the
utilities are in the street. As Gary said, we've gotten relinquishment from all the
utilities on these. Other than that, I'd be glad to answer any questions. It's pretty
straight-forward.
Bird: I have none.

ITEM 20.
PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR ANENXA TION AND
ZONING FOR OVERLAND MINI-STORAGE OF 7.25 ACRES
FROM SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL WITH ACREAGE TO
COMMERCIAL LOTS AND MINI-STORAGE FACILITY BY
OVERLAND MINI-STORAGE, LLC -1230 OVERLAND ROAD:
Corrie: Item No. 20 is a public hearing: Request for annexation and zoning for
Overland Mini-Storage of 7.25 acres from single-family residential from acreage
to commercial lots and mini-storage facility by Overland Mini-Storage, LLC, 1230
Overland Road. At this time, I'll open the public hearing on Item 20 and invite
Staff to go first.
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, this is for the property on Overland Road
immediately north of the Sportsman Pointe Subdivision. Nine Mile Creek comes
down on the boundary here. This is where the Treasure Valley Baptist Church is.
This area here has recently been annexed and is proposed as a roofing
contractor's office and storage area. They have also submitted in the next two
applications preliminary plat and a request for conditional use permit. The only
use they have shown now is for storage units. We have asked for a
Development Agreement to be entered into and would recommend approval with
Staff and agency comments.
Corrie: Okay. Thank you. Staff comments? Okay. Public hearing, (inaudible)
from the applicant here tonight?
Unger: Good evening, Mr. Mayor, Council members. My name is Bob Unger,
I'm with Pinnacle Engineers. Our address is 870 North Linder Road, Suite B,
Meridian, Idaho 83642. We represent the Overland Storage, LLC in this project.
Shari, do you have the plat itself on here? There you go. Thank you. What we
are proposing is a four-lot, or actually, four-lot subdivision. We have one, two,
three, four lots in here. There's currently an existing house on this lot right here.
We're asking that that house be allowed to continue to be there until such time as
some sort of development could occur on it or a conditional use to modify the use
of the structure. These two lots would be used for commercial, some sort of
commercial development in the future which would require conditional uses on
Meridian City Council Melg

each of those lots. For development, this lot here, we are requesting approval for
mini-storage facilities. They would be individual storage, and also they would be
some other - recreational vehicle storage which would be covered. We have
provided a landscape plan which provides landscaping around the perimeter as
required by Staff and by Code. The zoning that we are requesting is a C-G
which is compatible with the development which is currently occurring in the'
area. That zoning is compatible with policies and the goal of the City
Comprehensive Plan. Sewer and water are available to the site. In fact, there is
a sewer easement that runs along the edge of the property here which we are
aware of and during Staff's review of the project, particularly Public Works
Department, we were informed that we couldn't have any kind of drainage or
anything over that easement, so we have no problems with that. We'll modify our
drainage to comply with Staff's requirements. We have reviewed the Findings of
Facts and Conclusions of Law and the conditions of approval from Staff and the
recommendations from the Planning and Zoning Commission. We really have no
problems with those conditions or the Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law
which have been forwarded to the Council. I believe at this point, we'll just stand
for any questions that you might have.
Corrie: Questions from Council?
Bird: I have none.
Rountree: I have none.
Corrie: Okay. Thank you. I'm sorry. Mr. Bentley.
Bentley: Do you want your testimony from this hearing included in the others?
Unger: Yes. You could include my testimony on Items 21 and 22.

ITEM 23.
PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR ANNEXATION AND
ZONING OF PARCCEL "A" FROM RT TO SINGLE-FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL AND PARCLE "B" FROM SINGLE-FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL TO LIMITED OFFICE BY WOODBRIDGE
COMMUNITY, LLC - SOUTH OF EAST FRANKLIN ROAD AND
EAST OF SOUTH LOCUST GROVE ROAD:
Corrie: Item 23 is a public hearing: Request for annexation and zoning of Parcel
"A" from R- T to single-family residential and Parcel "B" from single-family
residential to limited office by Woodbridge Community, LLC, south of East
Franklin Road, east of South Locust Grove. At this time, I'll open the public
hearing and invite Staff comments first.
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, this is for the 80 acres previously known as the
Griffin Property located a quarter mile south of Franklin on Locust Grove. They
have submitted a conditional use permit. It was a little bit delayed at the
Planning and Zoning level. You will be hearing that next month. They're
requesting for this property an L-O zone. This would be the Medimont
Subdivision, Stonebridge Subdivision. They have requested annexation of this
piece so that they would be contiguous to the city. This was their only way of
being contiguous at this time. The property, these two 20s here are designated
as in the Meridian Comprehensive Plan currently as single-family residential. We
will be recommending a change to that designation in the future, but Staff
recommends approval of the annexation and zoning with this piece to an L-Q that
all uses be developed under the conditional use permit process through a
Development Agreement and also that the Development Agreement be entered
into for the property here. There are some issues. We are still working out with
the applicant. We will be meeting with them Thursday. They are relatively minor.
They are proposing a planned development with various lot sizes and house
sizes, and I guess that's alii have.
Corrie: Okay. Thank you, Shari. This is a public hearing on Item No. 23 for
annexation and zoning. Developer.
Pete O'Niell: Mr. Mayor and Council members, my name is Pete O'Niell, I'm
President of O'Nieli Enterprises who is the managing member of Woodbridge
Communities, LLC. Introduce my colleagues; my son Derrick who is the
President of our building company and Vice President of Development; and Scott
Beecham, Development Assistant; and Gary Alan with Givens Pursley Lawfirm
who represents us in our activities. We're here tonight to hear the
recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission for annexation and
zoning of the two parcels that Shari just presented. We have some, and as I
Meridian City Council Met
November 16, 1999
Page 52

understand it, you have a copy of the recommendations in front of you. We have
a few minor wording issues we'd like to discuss on that, but I think before we get
into that, if - I'd like to take a few minutes to kind of give you a quick overview of
what it is we have in mind for the property as that probably is of more interest to
you than the technical zone. You'll hear in depth on the 7th what it is we plan, but
if Scott would put up the site plan, what I want to do is introduce this project by, I
guess you might say we're in a rut. We've been at this for 20 years. We've done
several communities in Boise including River Run, Spring Meadow, the Springs,
Meadow Creek and Surprise Valley, Lane Ranch in Sun Valley and Spring
Mountain Ranch in McCall, and while each one is really quite different, and
Woodbridge will be different from any of those, they all share a lot of common
elements. What I'd like to do is just give you a quick overview of that so that
when the full package comes, you'll have some sense of what it is we're talking
about. All of these, just to orient you, this is the SO-acre parcel to the east of
Locust Grove Road. All of the communities we've done, including the proposal
for Woodbridge here, there are a number of things in common. One is they'll
include a variety of housing types, sizes and price ranges that appeal to different
lifestyles and different budget tastes. Secondly, they're made up of distinctly
human scale, neighborhoods that contain anywhere from 20 to 50 houses each,
typically. They all share, again, all of the projects including this share a hierarchy
of roads. They typically include some kind of spine road or collector that has no
driveway accesses as bordered by a combination walking and bicycling path,
heavily landscaped, and its only purpose is to serve the neighborhood streets
which have in common, the only purpose they serve is to serve the people who
live in the neighborhood. They're not thru-streets. They're small and serve only
the neighborhood. Typically we provide open spaces between the
neighborhoods that include pathways and landscaping. The pathway, if we
include the manmade amenities such as recreation center, which again we're
proposing here, some open spaces, walking paths which link all of the
neighborhoods and the open spaces to each other and to the recreation facility.
Where we have a chance, we try to enhance, in some cases create natural
amenities such as streams, creeks, ponds, wetlands as habitat for wildlife. In this
case, we do have the unique opportunity with Five Mile Creek bisecting the
property to take that irrigation ditch and try to enhance the area around it.
There's some wetlands that we similarly will preserve and actually enhance in the
process. The other commonality that we're including here would include pretty
extensive landscaping, the so-called Linear Park that comes along Woodbridge
Drive and the open space in between, and while this picture doesn't show it,
there's pretty extensive landscaping along Locust Grove and a substantial
entryway. They all came - we pay attention to the architecture and architectural
control committee, and we typically have a selected builder team and a very
focused marketing effort, so this is a little - this is kind of our secret formula. It's
worked. We'd like to do it again and bring it to Meridian. Another common
element in all of these is we've gone through the PUD process, and our
experience has been in other communities, and I suspect it's not going to be a
whole lot different here, is that's a little more complex process. It creates some
Meridian City Council Me!
November 16, 1999
Page 53
.
confusion on parts of a lot of folks, but we think if you read the ordinances that
support the PUD idea and specifically in Meridian, in order to encourage more
innovative design, more open space, more community amenities, and a greater
variety of housings, it is recognized that the PUD process has the authority to
override some of the standards regarding lot size and setbacks required in the
subdivision ordinance. That's kind of what we're all about. It is a trade-off thing.
We typically - the lots are a little smaller, the setbacks are a little less, but there's
a lot more open space and a lot more amenities (inaudible). We think the trade-
offs are worth it. We've got 100 residents in our communities that seem to agree
with that. What did I say? 2,000. So we think when the PUD concept is well-
planned and well-executed, it indeed does create some exceptional and lasting
value, not only for the people who live there, but the community at large. We're
happy to be here in Meridian. We're proud of what we've got to talk about at
Woodbridge, and we think we can do all of this in a way that it'll make the
community as well as ourselves proud of the effort. With that, that's a quick
overview. That's not what we're here really to discuss. I've got a handout we'll
provide to you as soon as we're done here that has - that you can take with you
and read at your leisure. Now, to get to the specific recommendation - they don't
have a copy? Did you provide that? That came forward from Planning and
Zoning, I think there's just some items of clarification that we'd like to propose. If
you'd turn just indifference to the hour and your busy agenda, we could get right
to - I think it's Page 3 of the recommendations which would be Point No.1 0, and
you can see what it is we've underlined, what we've added and what we've lined
out we're proposing to delete. We're planned to develop Parcel "A" in the
following manner, construction, development of a 283 single-family residential
planned development, period. The applicant currently has no plans to develop
Parcel "B." Essentially, what we're changing is we don't do subdivisions. We do
planned developments, and secondly, it suggests that Parcel "B" for some
reason is a single-family residence that that's what we're proposing. That's what
it is now. We're proposing on the L-O that it'll be something that's consistent with
that zone, and when we decide what to do, we'll present you with a CU to deal
with it. The other change is another change is Point 11, and I think there just
was some confused wording, so designates Parcel "A" as low-density residential
and Parcel "B" as mixed/planned use development. It's talking about your
Comprehensive Plan. There's a reference to subject property which was
confusing. Then, finally, there's only three comments. I guess there's two more.
On the last page, Page 5 of the recommendations, one - this deals with the
Parcel "B" 1.2, we're suggesting that be struck altogether on the basis of we don't
know what's going to be adjacent to Parcel "B" and to fix a 20-foot landscape
buffer because there's a single-family house next door to it. At this time, seems
to be inconsistent with the whole CU process. Our guess is in a few years from
now, that neighborhood is going to change, and it'll have different uses, and we'll
deal with the conditions of approval at that time. If there's a single-family
residence next door and a buffer's appropriate, fine. We can add it at that time.
But to saddle that property with an additional buffer doesn't seem to make sense
particularly in 1.1 says it will go through the conditional use process at the time
Meridian City Council Melg
November 16,1999
Page 54

which gives ample protection to protect this surrounding properties at that time.
Then the only final comment we'd have is in the old 1.4 which would become 1.3
on Page 5, says the Development Agreement for the development of Parcel "A",
the Development Agreement for Parcel "A" would be required as a condition of
annexation of both parcels. It just said a Development Agreement, and I don't
know how we could have a Development Agreement on Parcel "B" when we
don't know what it is we're going to do there, so the Development Agreement that
you'll see on the ¡ih, hopefully, would be a condition precedent or a - not a
condition precedent, but a condition for the annexation of the parcel, so if you
were to approve this tonight, it would be conditioned on approving a
Development Agreement at a later date, hopefully the ¡ih of December. If I
haven't totally confused you, those are the suggestions we would have to the
recommendation for approval for the annexation and zoning. I'd be happy to
answer any questions. I guess you'd have some public comment. Answer any
questions.
Corrie: Which is "A" and which is "B"?
Pete O'Niell: I always get this confused. "A" is the big one, and "B" is the little
one.
Corrie: Okay. Gotcha. Any other comments? Council?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Okay. Thank you, Pete. Anyone else would like to issue testimony on
Item No. 23 for annexation and zoning? All right. Hearing none, I'll entertain a
motion to close the public hearing on Item No. 23.
Rountree: So moved.
Bird: Second.
Corrie: Motion made and seconded to close the public hearing on Item No. 23.
So we're just talking about "A", right? "A" and "B" or just "A"?

Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, I just had a comment on a couple of Mr. O'Niell's
comments. On Page 3, Item 10, his suggested changes would be appropriate.
On Item 11, the zone that is requested is limited office, so that should remain
limited office. On Page 4, Item 1.2, Mr. O'Niell's correct; we can address that in
the conditional use permit. That could be stricken. The Development Agreement
will be required for both parcels. I mean, it could be separate Development
Agreements, but the Development Agreement will have to be entered into prior to
annexation of the property. That's alii had.
Gigray: Mr. Mayor, point of information while the public hearing's still open.
Corrie: It's not. It's not open.
Gigray: Sorry. I was writing a note. Excuse me.
Corrie: Okay. Do you need to re-open it?
Gigray: Well, I just had a question. If you're going to entertain a Development
Agreement with regards to conditions that we can impose, in Development
Agreements are with our ability to zone which is at the time of annexation, so that
would be the time that we do the Development Agreement. I don't know if there
are many terms in that Development Agreement. If you would choose to accept
the recommendations, I would probably prepare it in a manner for your
consideration at the next Council meeting if I'm so directed which would provide
provisions in the Development Agreement that the parties would agree that it
might be amended by those certain conditions that would precipitate from the
planned unit development hearings which would leave it a little bit flexible. Which
isn't something we've characteristically done, but that's what I'm hearing if that's
what you choose to do.
Corrie: Do we want to put it another way?
Gigray: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, I'll try to make this even more
convoluted.
Corrie: I think I know what you said.
Gigray: Basically, we provide in those Development Agreements for conditions
regarding the use and then conditions regarding the development, and it seems
that the use may be fairly well gone over here this evening, but some of the
specific terms of the development seem to yet need further review. What I would
do is put a provision in the Development Agreement regarding development
conditions that would provide that the parties would agree that the agreement
would be amended pending the other hearing and terms for the granting of the
planned unit development. I think that's what I was hearing the applicant say
Meridian City Council Melg

here. It's just not a provision we've ever used before since I've been here, but I
think it's something we could do if you order it.
Corrie: (inaudible)
Gigray: You might want to find out what Staffs view is about that.
Corrie: Do you have any problems with that, Shari?
Stiles: Are you talking about my clarifications to what they're proposing for L-O
or based on their approval of a PUD for the 80 acres or both?
Gigray: And/or both. As whatever the Council directs. It seemed the only one
I'm aware of that the PUD would, at least at this point, would be the large parcel,
and they're proposal was a conditional use permit process with the smaller parcel
which I could provide for both depending on your direction. You may want to
open this back up just to see what the developer's position is on this and Staff's.
Corrie: We may have to.
Bentley: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bentley.
Bentley: I move that we re-open the public hearing for Woodbridge Community.
Corrie: Okay. Do I have a motion. Do I hear a second? Okay. Motion dies for

Franklin Road and east of South Locust Grove Road with the recommendations
of Planning and Zoning with the changes discussed in the public hearing. I don't
think I'm done yet. Development Agreements be drawn on Parcel "A" and "B"
with changes that could be made at conditional use time.
Gigray: And PUD.
Bird: And PUD.
Bentley: You done?
Bird: I think I am.
Bentley: Second.
Corrie: Is that the correct? "A" and "B" - we're not supposed to be doing this,
but I want to make sure we got the right motion. The big one is "A" and the little
one is "B".
Gigray: I can follow that.
(inaudible)
Bird: That's what the development - that's what we made the motion on. The
Development Agreements can be changed at different times on either parcel, but
you're going to get a Development Agreement on both parcels now. One on "A"
and one on "B".
Corrie: Can be changed during the process.
Gigray: Point of information for the Mayor and Council. I can follow that motion.
Of course, as you've well demonstrated here this evening, you don't take final
action until you approve those Findings and those agreements, so you'll have a
good look at this before you finally decide it at the next meeting.

25 and 26 on public hearings, and then Items 33, 34, 35, 36, and then for the
meeting on December the ¡th because it's % after ten now. We'll be here until
2:00 in the morning, we'll never make any good decision, I don't think. So,
Council's pleasure. We can view Item 27, 28, 29, 30 and 31 and Item 37 pretty
quick. Any other Items we can delay until December the ¡th. That'd be Item 24,
25, 26, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36 until December the 7th. We're going to do the
Ordinances, No. 27, 28, 29, 30, 31 and then 37.
Berg: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Yes.
Berg: Since Mr. Gigray isn't here, just a point of clarification, Item 26 is really
attached with all the ordinances down below because these ordinances have the
new title numbers and chapters, and the sequence, according to Mr. Gigray was
to have the hearing for Item 26 and then pass the additional ordinances to be
recodified with them. Mr. Gigray's here, he can probably elaborate --
*** End of Side 3 ***
Bird: -- delay this until (inaudible)
Corrie: Item 26, public hearing so we also have to Item 27, that ordinance, Bill?
Gigray: Yes.
Corrie: Have all of them?
Bird: Have to delay them all.
Gigray: 26 and 31.
Corrie: Okay. Then we just take up Item 32 and 37 and the Department
Reports?

Then table the others until the 7th of December. Yeah. Item 32 and 37?
(inaudible discussion amongst Council members)
Bird: Is there any - Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Is there any of these that can be affected if we - I mean, I'm sure they all
can be affected if we don't act upon them tonight, but we just - I don't know.
We're shoving a lot of ones onto next week, and we've already tabled a couple.
Corrie: We can have another meeting the - no, we can't. We can do it the 23rd.
Bentley: I won't be here.
Bird: Has the Staff got any - is there anything if we tabled those, going to be
affected?
Smith: Mr. Mayor, Council members, I think the Item No. 32, those folks are here
this evening on that fence variance appeal.
Bird: Yes.
Smith: I know that they're very anxious to move forward with their fence and
present their case to you.
Corrie: (inaudible) Item No. 37 (inaudible). Request for beer and wine license by
Eagle Partners, LLC, is that a big one?
: No, sir. It is not.
Corrie: I didn't think so.
Berg: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Berg.
Berg: members of the Council, they are hoping to open up November 22nd, and
they rushed to get me the state and the county license for that application.

Anderson: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: Well, we just table the rest of the public hearings and the related
ordinances, and then start with Item 32 and work this as far as we can until
11 :OO?
Corrie: Okay. That's whatever you want to do.
Bird: I second that.
Gigray: Mr. Mayor, could I - point of information. I just want to clarify with the
Public Works Director that if we continue this ordinances, is that going to be a
problem with the Vienna Woods plat because the amendment of the ordinance
with regards to double hook-up fees is one of the follow-ups.
Smith: Mr. Mayor, Council members, Mr. Gigray, I don't think it'll be a problem
with that plat because those fees would not be assessed until building permits
came in, and they're a ways from that and should be okay.
Corrie: Okay. The motion for the Chair to have Items 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30
and 31 to be placed on the agenda first in October the - excuse me, December
the 7th meeting. Any further discussion on that request? Okay. Hearing none,
all those in favor of that motion say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
Corrie: You have a little extra time. I appreciate you folks staying. We want to
make a good decision. I'll entertain a motion now to table Items 24 - we already
- we just did. Continued it.
Bird: Continued it.
ITEM 32.
APPEAL OF FENCE VARIANCE COMMITTEE DECISION BY
CHARLOTTE NOLAN AND ROBERT SMITH:
Corrie: Okay. Item No. 32 is appeal of a Fence Variance Committee decision by
Charlotte Nolan and Robert Smith. Staff, comments on this, Gary?
Meridian City Council Mel
November 16, 1999

Smith: Thank you, Mr. Mayor, Council members. Shari has put up on the screen
a planned view of the proposal. This residence is located at 2466 West Carlton
in the Haven Cove Subdivision, and it is a corner lot as all of the lots are that the
Fence Variance Committee deals with for exceptions to the setback on six-foot
tall fences. The proposal from this property owner is to locate a fence out next to
the sidewalk on North Mora (sic) Avenue, I believe it is. I think, yeah, the fence
was to be located within two feet of the edge of sidewalk, their yard-side edge of
sidewalk. That's denoted by that dash line that parallels the sidewalk line. The
Fence Variance Committee met and rendered a decision on this on November
the 3rd in the presence of the applicant. The Fence Variance Committee has
been very consistent in their decisions to allow construction of a six-foot tall solid
fence within the side street setback area on corner lots. We feel, as a
Committee, that, number one, the corner lot owner should be afforded some
additional space for their backyards because, typically, the size of the corner lots
are not significantly larger than the size of the interior lots, and therefor, using a
20-foot setback from the front of the house and also from the side of the house,
or for the side of the house severely limits the amount of backyard that the corner
lots have and the amount of private backyard that they have. So from that
standpoint, the Fence Variance Committee feels that most generally these
requests are appropriate to the extent that we have been allowing as the
committee, a ten-foot variance. That is ten foot from the back of sidewalk. Most
all subdivisions, the property lines for these lots are not the back of sidewalk, but
they are a foot-and-a-half from the back of sidewalks, so the variance, in effect, is
allowing them 8 % feet from the property line or an 11 Y2 foot variance from the
20-foot setback from the property line. Even though the property owner is
required to take care of ground up to the back of sidewalk, technically that's an 8
Y2 foot setback. We've done this for two reasons. One is that we felt that a
security issue is at hand for the people that are using the sidewalks and not
having to walk right up against a six-foot tall fence. Now, when I say up against,
it's not tied against the back sidewalk, but it is quite close at the requested
location. A six-foot fence at that location is quite imposing to pedestrians on
sidewalks. Secondly, it does not present itself well as far as vehicular vision is
concerned. Secondarily, we feel that construction of a fence along side the back
of sidewalk will create a tunnel effect for the streetscape in the subdivision.
Although this is an isolated case as regards the property owners to the north of it
and to the east of it, there wouldn't - if this was allowed to be constructed at the
back or near the back of sidewalk, there wouldn't be anything that would prevent
other property owners making the same request. We don't feel that from an
aesthetic standpoint it's appropriate. I know the property owner has some
special concerns here with the improvements they want to make in their
backyard and the privacy that they desire, but that is the feeling of the Fence
Committee, and we've been holding pretty tight to that ten-foot minimum
encroachment. I guess that's pretty much the basis for our decisions. I know the
property owner's here this evening, and I'm sure that they would like to address
Meridian City Council M~

Council, too, and Mayor. Thank you. If you have any questions, I'd be glad to
answer them.
Corrie: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: Gary, are there any design review committees in this area that would
be involved or subdivision property owners association that would be involved in
this? That's come into play many times in the past.
Smith: Yes. Typically, the Homeowners Association has what they call an
Architectural Review Committee that theoretically can react to a violation or a
proposal to do something other than what's allowed by the covenants. As a city,
we don't have any jurisdiction in those CC & R's, but the Homeowners
Association does. We suggest, as a Fence Committee, that a homeowner
making this application also approach the Homeowners Association and get their
approval. I don't know. I can't recall if that was done in this particular case or
not. We did, on this particular subdivision, and there is a situation at the
entrance of the subdivision off of Pine Street where the subdivision boundary
fence, we allowed that boundary fence to return from the subdivision boundary
into the subdivision probably two feet off the sidewalk. That was a situation
where the boundary fence was coming to an end and entering the subdivision.
Of course, these folks picked up on that, and that's part of the reasoning for their
request. We've had that happen in other subdivisions also on the entrance roads
from a collector or a main road into the subdivision.
Rountree: Thanks, Gary.
Corrie: The applicant.
Nolan: Hi. My name's Charlotte Nolan. I did come here tonight because when I
went to the Fence Committee, they said that they have basically developed an
arbitrary ten-foot line, and when I made my request for this, I didn't know that
there was this unwritten arbitrary ten-foot that they would do. So, as you can
see, my pool, where I want to put the pool in, which is partly why we bought the
corner lot, was that there's enough room to put that considering where they put
our slab for our back patio because we have a very large pool. So to put it at ten
foot would only put it only two feet from having a pool, and, I don't know. Myself
having had a pool, if you put the fence too close, then everybody who walks by
gets some big kick about throwing stuff in the pool. So, I went through the
neighborhood before I set up this fence variance request to see what the City
themselves had done, you know, as far as it went. I figured probably the two
major things that would be considered would be safety in where you put your
fence and whether or not your neighbors, you know, had - I did check with my
next-door neighbor who is also President of our community group there, and he
said as long as I got an okay from ya'all and the neighbors didn't care, then it
was no problem with our neighborhood setups. When I went to put the fence in, I
Meridian City Council Me.
November 16.1999

really wanted it probably about 20 feet closer because I wanted it to close in the
room - the window that goes to our bathroom because we've had people, you
know, come up off the street and knock on it and all kinds of stuff like that;
however, and having one, you know, I took pictures. Unfortunately, I don't have
all these things to show you all so easily like at night. But I did go take pictures
of where it came into the neighborhood and stopped and the vision that they
allowed there where people come in and out all the time is greatly decreased
compared to what I put in, because what I did was walk to the back of my house
and gave as much vision as I could figuring I was taking in the safety feature for
being on the corner and put the end of my fence to where the house actually
started occluding your vision going around the corner versus my fence doing
that. So, it moved my fence back as far as that went, and then I went out and
decided it had to be safety because we have a lot of bicycles and rollerbladers
and so I put two bicycles side-by-side on there, and putting two feet off, you
know, was plenty of room for two bicycles to go along the edge of the concrete
and pass each other. So I figured as far as the fence went, that was safe, too.
Then, the next thing was, cars for vision, and myself for the pool, because that
would give me 12 feet, so it's kind of hard to chuck things 12 feet versus just two
feet over a fence into a pool. Then the next thing that I looked at from they came
in, the inside of the vision, of our subdivision, was that their fence is like really
long, so you have to come way into the subdivision way before you can see
around the corner right there because that first fence is so long that it blocks your
vision whereas you can get around my corner without it doing that, so I felt that it
was a safer situation than what they approved at the entrance for the length of it.
They had a concern about it being an alleyway because of it not being ten foot on
either side. The people on the other side of me, you know, their house faces my
house. There's no way for them to put a six-foot fence up and my six-foot fence
up. So I understand the concern about the alleyway, but in my situation, there's
not going - it can't be an alleyway because they can't possibly put a six-foot
fence up over there. Then the next thing I went to was the neighbors, and out of
seven or eight neighbors that are in direct view or direct situation of that, I went
and asked them if they minded I put a six-foot fence up there when my neighbor
behind me is set back from me, and not one - I got five out of seven that I could
talk to. One of them's a rent house. I didn't talk to them. But none of them
cared, so I figured, okay, I've got the approval of the neighbors, I've got the setup
like they have on the entrance way that they considered safe. Difference on the
entrance way, though, is that they said about the six-foot fence being tall and
kind of being a problem, but directly across from the back of my fence is a
streetlight that shines on the back of it. Directly right in front of my house is a
streetlight that shines on the front of it. Now, on the entryway where the kids
come in and out every single morning, because I leave every morning around
6:30 when they're going out to catch the bus, the closest light to that whole thing
is around the corner and down two houses. That entire entryway is dark. The
entire thing is black. There's no way to even see people as you're coming in and
out unless you have lights on on your car. So, I came to ask for the twenty feet
that I have which is two feet off of the thing because everything that the Fence
Meridian City Council Me.
November 16, 1999
Page 65

Committee told me was a consideration other than the arbitrary ten feet that
they've decided upon, I feel that I fall within it. I feel that I've given consideration
to every single thing that they've asked for. If it did form an alleyway, then I
would understand what they're talking about, but this situation, it won't form an
alleyway because people across the street can't put a fence across the front for
the length in that, so that's why I came to ask instead - they told me that they
could not go over ten feet because that's their agreement, and if I had to ask for
twenty feet, then I had to come ask ya'all. So that's what I'm asking for.
Corrie: Is the pool in?
Nolan: No, it isn't. It's excavated for it. I've had it dug out and leveled.
Corrie: Okay. Any other questions?
Bentley: Is it an in-ground or above-ground?
Nolan: It's an above-ground. But I actually have it down about 18 inches.
Corrie: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: I guess I didn't hear. I'm assuming that you're requesting a solid,
privacy fence as opposed to -
Nolan: Chain link.
Rountree: -- chain link or -
Nolan: No. I didn't ask for chain link.
Rountree: -- wrought iron.
Nolan: No. Well, nobody in our neighborhood has had chain link. I looked over
our whole neighborhood.
Rountree: I'm just asking, not suggesting.
Nolan: Any other questions? No?
Corrie: Any other questions? Okay. Thank you.
Anderson: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Anderson.

Anderson: I guess I'll start this off, because I live on a corner lot just like this,
and about three years ago I dealt with the exact same dilemma building my fence
and came to the conclusion after talking with the neighbors back behind me as
she would have neighbors there, that just kind of obtrusive to them to have a
fence running clear out to the sidewalk, and it doesn't give real good aesthetic
appearance to the front of their house. We don't always know that these same
neighbors are going to live in these houses or she won't get tired of the
swimming pool and fill that in and back a camper in there because of all your CC
& R's state that the camper or RVs have got to be behind a fence. I guess I
would not be in favor of granting the variance clear up to two foot behind the
sidewalk. I would stick more with our Fence Committee's version of the ten foot.
Something that I would lean more favorable to and go that direction.
Corrie: Any other comments? Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: I guess the question we have is, one, do we even allow a variance?
Is there sufficient hardship and that sort of thing present? That's the question
before us. To address the question, the City's established the Fence Committee.
The Fence Committee goes back a number of years and having been on the
charter membership of that group some years ago, can understand the difficulty
of dealing with the individual cases. I understand through a process of several
mistakes how they ultimately arrive with the approximately 1O, 8 % feet off the
back sidewalk as a reasonable compromise to accommodate both desires of the
property owner to utilize their property the best they can and also to minimize the
safety issues as it relates to the rest of the populous that are going to (inaudible)
the streets and sidewalks as well as the aesthetic aspect. I could go either way
on this except the Fence Committee's recommendation will disallow a variance
altogether, but I cannot accept the idea of the fence that close to the backside as
being requested.
Corrie: Thank you. Any other comments? Okay. Hearing none, I'll entertain a
motion on the request for appeal of the Fence Variance Committee's decision.
Rountree: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: I would move that we deny the appeal and affirm the recommendation
of the Fence Variance Committee.
Anderson: Second that.
Corrie: Okay. Motion is made to deny the appeal and approve the Fence
Committee's decision of denial. Any further discussion? Mr. Bentley.
Bentley: Should we instruct the attorney to prepare the order?

Rountree: Let's just table it. What's the next one?

Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, Councilman Rountree. There was a change
made that was on Page 7, Item 1.3. She did propose signage, and it was
recommended for approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission. This is for
the property, it's across the street from the Texaco now and behind an office
building on East 1st Street. They're proposing that it be a - retain the use as a
residence and that a portion of their house be approved for retail use. The
Planning and Zoning Commission did recommend that instead of the parking
spaces that were requíred by ordinance that that be reduced to three spaces.
Corrie: Has this applicant seen this request and what they're asking the changes
and all?
Stiles: I believe the Findings did come up back before Planning and Zoning
Commission, and she was present there and did review these Findings.
Anderson: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: I have a question. Shari, do they know that they're supposed to
come to these meetings? Is it - are they told that, I mean, by somebody?
People that do this kind of stuff don't come before the City Council on a regular
basis and don't understand the process. They need a little bit of guidance as far
as what the steps are, and I'm sure they probably would have been here had
they been told that.
Corrie: Mr. Berg.
Berg: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, they were told that they were on the
agenda. They were also told that this wasn't a public hearing, that testimony
would not be accepted, and so I guess they probably chose not to come. That's
the confusion with some of these that only require one public hearing and then
pass recommendation onto the City Council. I don't know what kind of lines of
questions or comments she could have that would affect the Findings at the
p & Z has produced. So that might be a question for the attorney.
Anderson: I just think it's something that we need to clarify amongst ourselves.
If we're talking about tabling something because somebody's not here, and yet,
they're being told that you really don't need to go there because we're not going
to take any public testimony, we need to get our act together is what I'm saying.
Council and Staff level, so that people have clear instructions on what is
expected of them when they come here or not expected if they don't come.
Berg: Yes. I agree with you, and my response is we don't discourage them from
coming. We try to tell them what they can anticipate being at these meetings.

VACANT 5.5 ACRE SITE IN A C-G ZONE BY NORCO - NORTH
OF FAIRVIEW BETWEEN EAGLE ROAD AND LOCUST GROVE
ROAD:
Corrie: Item 34, request for conditional use permit for a 3-building retail complex
for approximately 50,000 square feet on vacant 5.5 acre site in a C-G zone by
Noreo, north of Fairview between Eagle Road and Locust Grove Road. Shari,
Staff? Looks like we've got the same - oh. We've got somebody here.
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, this is for the property that's on Fairview Avenue
south of Dove Meadows Subdivision. They've submitted a conditional use permit
for a planned development as they had three separate buildings shown, and we
would recommend approval with all Staff and agency conditions. There needs to
be a change according to what the Planning and Zoning Commission - well, I
guess it doesn't need to be changed. It was changed later, but on Page 5 of the
Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law, Item 5.1.16, Staff comments were that
a single pylon sign and a single monument sign for the center were indicated,
and only those signs are approved along the Fairview Avenue frontage as a
condition of approval. In the Conclusions, the Planning and Zoning Commission
changed that recommendation on Page 16 under Item 1.42 that they can - shall
construct sign not to exceed 72 square feet. That should be a monument sign
not to exceed 72 square feet.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Shari, it should be a monument? Is that what the Commission said?
Stiles: Yes.
Bird: That's - I mean, because it's not in my Findings. It's in - written in and
then shoved up there. It's not typed in mine.
Rountree: It's not in mine, either.
Bird: I'm telling you that, I'm not going to - that isn't acceptable. That's why I
hate passing these things when you got writings and crosses and everything else
on it. Mine reads here, the applicant shall construct a sign not to exceed 72
square feet, and then somebody's wrote monument and shoved it up in with an
arrow between "a" and "sign." I don't know whether that was done - ..

left out of the minutes or something? I want notes for my answer.
Berg: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, Councilman Bird, on the November
9th Planning and Zoning Commission, they met and read through these Findings
and inserted that as approval of the Findings. That's my record. I would
presume that the attorney's office would have corrected that and gotten me a
copy, but they had not, so I kept this as my record as what the P & Z approved.
That's what I do on records when things -
Bird: The official record shouldn't have crosses through it and monument-
Berg: Well, that might be true, but official records should have exactly what
they've done.
Bird: I realize that. But, you know, I just - anybody could walk in and get hold of
a copy of this and start x'ing it out.

needs to be a common open area, lot, and it couldn't be included in the lot
somehow because there'll just be a 40-foot strip in there enclosed by two fences
that nobody ever keeps up, and the Stokesberry Lateral in that area will be piped,
so (inaudible) ground, it could be landscaped. He just wanted some clarification
on that.
Bird: I guess -
Tealey: From Staff.
Corrie: Shari, Staff comments?
Stiles: Let me make sure I'm understanding. You're wanting to include that
entire 40-foot as part of that lot?
Tealey: Well, we'd like to include the 40 feet in the - in those five lots there just
so that we don't have a strip of land laying vacant between two fences. The
easement would still be there.
Stiles: No. I don't believe the irrigation district would allow that to be included as
part of lots, and as part of the annexation and zoning, that was required to be a
pathway and also was an access for Nampa Meridian to get through that. It
currently goes all the way to Locust Grove now from Eagle, and it's a nice - it will
be a nice pathway between subdivisions there.
Tealey: Maybe Mr. Groves, the developer -- Do you want to say anything,
Craig? Sorry.
Corrie: That's okay.
Tealey: The last comment.
Stiles: What? Goes clear to Locust Grove.

Groves: As I've been out and looked at that, Shari, I'm not sure it goes all the
way through to Eagle Road.
Corrie: I need your name.
Groves. I'm sorry. For the record, it's Craig Groves.
Corrie: How do you spell your last name, just for -
Groves: G-R-O-V-E-S.
Corrie: Thank you.
Stiles: It may end at Chateau, but it is currently being used by people in the
neighborhood for walking. It will be a good pathway to get to the new
elementary school site. I think as we're preparing the Development Agreement,
it hasn't been prepared for this property yet, we'll probably see that as a condition
of the annexation that that was to remain as a common lot.
Bird: Mr. Mayor, where's the annexation at?
Stiles: It was done a long time ago. Years ago.
Bird: Years ago. Okay.
Stiles: And the Development Agreement was never entered into, so it's going to
take some research on our part to be able to prepare a Development Agreement.
Bird: We can't-
Corrie: Then we need to table this one, then; correct? Until we get the
Development Agreement - final plat. Gary, do you see a problem here?
Groves: If I may, Mr. Mayor, it was just a question. It'll remain in - we'll keep it
as a common lot and use it any way the Staff wants it. It was just a question of
whether or not maybe we could get rid of an eyesore there. If we can't, no
problem at all.
Corrie: Good. So we still have an agreement -- Development Agreement yet,
though, right?
Stiles: We do need a Development Agreement.
Corrie: Before you can have the final plat approved.

Stiles: Well, the way we do it now, it would be prior to being annexed, but
Bruce's comment was to have it recorded prior to signature on the final plat. I
wouldn't particularly have a problem with that, but I would want to add one
comment to these comments by Bruce on November 15th. The first phase of
Packard Estates has some mailboxes, huge structures in the middle of the
sidewalks that only allows maybe two feet, two % feet, and they do need to
provide five-foot pedestrian walkways, so if they're proposing those same kind of
mailbox structures, they're going to need to add - to flare out those sidewalks so
that there's minimum five-foot walking, and that was just a suggestion from
looking at the first phase of that.
Rountree: You don't like MDCBU's, huh?
Stiles: What's that?
Bird: Ugly garbage boxes?
Corrie: Okay. It's a site-joke. I wouldn't get into it. Was that put in here?
Stiles: Pardon?
Corrie: Is that put in here anywhere?
Stiles: That was something that was put in the comments, but that was
something I would like to add - that they do need to provide the five-foot
pedestrian walkways exclusive of mailboxes or mailbox structures.
Corrie: I guess my point is if it's not in here, how can they be held to it?
Stiles: Because they're requesting final plat approval right now.
Corrie: It could be a condition of the plat, then, right?
Stiles: Yeah.
Corrie: All right. I'm learning. Mr. Groves.
Groves: Yeah. Mayor, Council, we've got no problem with that request. You
can add it, but I would like to, at this time, I'd like to address this 40-foot strip of
land that would be common lot there. If Staff is open to this, if we could allow the
Nampa Meridian Irrigation District, ourselves and Staff to negotiate the use of
that 40-foot in our final Development Agreement, I'd like to be open to that.
Stiles: We'd have to look at the record and see what it said. I think we've always
intended that to be an open -
Meridian City Council Meebt
Novennber16,1999
Page 76

Groves: Yeah. We're not going out there - I wish I had some pictures, but we're
not going out there, Shari, that 40-feet strip of land just ends right at Carole (sic)
Subdivision. It doesn't go anywhere. It's going to, you know, be a weed patch.
Stiles: It won't be a weed patch because you will maintain it.
Corrie: You and Nampa Meridian.
Groves: Yeah.
Corrie: That means you'll probably have to do it.
Stiles: It will be -
Groves: Okay. So, my point is, if we can work out an arrangement with Nampa
Meridian Irrigation so they have access to their irrigation facilities because
everything will be underground in there, and they agree to it, and it's acceptable
to the preliminary plat approval back in '96 -
Stiles: Again, we'd have to look at the record. I know the Sharps did have some
concern about having access to their headgate that was part of that, and I think if
we're talking about changes to the original annexation conditions, we'd have to
open it back up for a public hearing -
Rountree: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: I move we approve the request for final plat of Packard Acres
Subdivision No.1 by Packard Estates Development subject to staff comments
with additions of five-foot wide sidewalk around mailbox structure and staff and
developer to work with Nampa Meridian Irrigation for use of Stokesberry Ground
Lateral.
Bird: Second.
Corrie: Motion made and seconded to approve the final plat of Packard Acres
Subdivision No.1 by Packard Estates Development subject to staff comments
with additions of five-foot wide sidewalk around mailbox structure, and staff and
developer to work with Nampå Meridian Irrigation for use of Stokesberry Ground

Corrie: Could that work? What he requested? Or do you want to -
Rountree: Is this a result of the discussion that went on with the school district
and Staff about realigning the road and approach and getting access over there?
Groves: Yes. That's what it was. It wasn't any intention on our part to get
another lot or anything.
Corrie: (inaudible)
Bird: (inaudible)
Corrie: Mr. Smith.
Smith: Mr. Mayor, Council members, it appears as though, as Mr. Groves points
out, these lots are bordering Carole Subdivision have a wider width thiin what
was originally proposed in the preliminary plat. I don't have the preliminary in
front of me, but it looks like, I think as I recall, the Carole Subdivision folks had
requested those larger lots as part of their testimony on the preliminary plat. As
long as we're meeting with the intent of the preliminary plat, with the same
number of lots and the size of the lots particularly against Carole Subdivision, it'd
probably be all right.
Groves: The lots against Carole Subdivision now actually four feet wider than
shown on the preliminary plat which they have in front of them. Gary's not
counting -
Bird: (inaudible) shoes off yet.
Smith: It's the same number of lots that the preliminary plat shows that Mr.
Tealey just gave me a copy of the Number 3 final plat revision.
Corrie: It's still (inaudible).
Smith: They are having a precon tomorrow, as Pat mentioned, on sewer and
water through this project to serve the elementary school site.
Bentley: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bentley.
Bentley: Gary, so does that plat that you now have is correct; is that what you're
saying?

Smith: Well, yes, sir. As far as the number of lots are concerned along the north
side of that Bernice (sic) Drive which is the area in question, it's correct, yes.
Behtley: And the date on that is - is there a date stamp on there?
Smith: Yes. Mr. Tealey has signed his land surveyor stamp as November 15,
1999.
Bentley: Thank you.
Corrie: Does that help you?
Bird: That's all you need.

Corrie: I'm sorry. Gary.
Smith: Mr. Mayor, Council members, we haven't made any comments on the
plat yet other than it did not conform with the preliminary plat, and so the
comment was that it should be tabled until the plat is squared away.
Bird: Took care of that now.
Smith: Pardon me?
Bird: And we took care of that now.
Smith: The plat is apparently squared away, but we still don't have any
comments for you to incorporate in your approval of the plat unless you want to
make it subject to future comments that the Staff would make.
Corrie: That's pretty much what - well, okay.
Smith: Okay.
Corrie: I don't want to put words in Charlie's mouth.
Smith: And I believe that - I believe the applicant understood the ramifications of
that.
Corrie: Okay. Does that help you, Bill?
Rountree: He's scratching his head.
Gigray: To me, you're issuing an order that doesn't have any finality to it. When
we have the comments, and I can reference those specifically and so we've got a
written document and we knbW what they are, this is just subject to further
negotiation, and it's an order on a final plat. I mean, you can do what you want to
do here, but-
Corrie: Can't you just hold the final order until it's all done?
Rountree: Until we receive comments from Staff?
Stiles: We can get them to you tomorrow.

upon their suggestions?
Gigray: With the proviso, if it's agreeable with the Council, that I will resubmit the
order for the Council to see at the next Council meeting which means that you're
not continuing it. We'll prepare the order so you can look at it.
Corrie: I think that'd be best.
Gigray: For its - I mean, and then we'll just prepare it as normal for the Mayor's
signature, but that way you'd put it on the Consent Agenda or something, and if
somebody sees a red flag, you can divert it at that point. I'd feel more
comfortable at with that.

DEPARTMENT REPORTS:
Corrie: Janice Smith is - her report will be coming out to us. She's trying to get
the rest of it together. In the meantime, Glenn, do you want to take her spot just
a second - want something on the election issues?
Bentley: Yes. I spoke to several people that really complained about confusion
over the election, where we're at, where they're supposed to go. I had some
complaints from the people from the south, south of the freeway. I think offering
some ideas to the Council and the future Council as to what we can do to try to
help the situation. First off, I think south side of the freeway, they're complaining
about having to come across that bridge and fight all that traffic at 6:00 at night
for the people coming home. South side's getting big enough plus we've got
another sewer line going across. I think it's probably time we look at putting a
precinct on the south side and find a building to hold a polling place. I think we
need to move on using the new water bill system to maybe put out some
information 60 days prior to the election as to how you go about getting
registered, maybe even looking at throwing in a couple voter cards, registration
cards to do by mail, but they need instructions as to exactly how they can
register, because so many of the people that I've talked to went to one place
when they're supposed to be at another. Well, I voted last time, but I moved in
the meantime, and they don't realize that cancels out what they've done. So just
offering some suggestions and hopefully to take a look at it. Like I said, I think
the main issue would be to try to get a precinct on the south side. That's all I
have.
Corrie: Okay. Gary.

PHASE I - WATERLINE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT:
Smith: Thank you, Mr. Mayor. First Item I have is the Phase I Waterline
Improvement Project. This is a change order for the contractor that is doing that
job. It has to do with the - there's justification on change order form, about
middle way down the sheet that explains the reason for the change order. It has
to do with a conflict in the vertical location of the waterline as it was constructed
to a point by others and where this contractor grabbed hold of it and headed off,
ran into some other utilities, had to lower the waterline. It's a 16-inch diameter
waterline, and so the fittings and so forth are fairly expensive. The total amount
of the change order request is $6,085.44. It's one of those things that happened
after they started digging and found the other utilities. So my recommendation to
you would be to approve the change order for that amount at $6,085.44 and to
authorize Mayor Corrie to sign and City Clerk Berg to attest. Do you have any
questions?
Corrie: (inaudible) Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: I move we approve Contract Change Order No.2 in the amount of
$6,085.44 for the Phase I Waterline Improvement Project.

REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT - G.L. VOIGT
SEWER AND WATER LINE EXTENSION AGREEMENT:
Gary: Second Item is a reimbursement agreement between G.L. Voigt and the
City of Meridian. This agreement request is for the construction of a waterline
under the interstate from approximately Wells Circle south over to Overland
Road. We have contracted with the contractor that's installing the sewer line for
Mr. Voigt and his partners in that venture to also install the waterline at the same
time in the same easement at a depth that's not as great, obviously, as the sewer
line, and I think this is saving us some money being able to be in there with this
contractor in the same area. It's also saving some stress and wear and tear on
Meridian City Council Meet'
Novernber16,1999
Page 83
8
the properties that we're crossing. It's allowing us to connect to high-pressure
zones and our water system. So we have a loop now in that high-pressure zone.
The reimbursement agreement has been reviewed by Mr. Gigray, and his
comments back to me have been incorporated in this agreement. It has been
sent to Mr. Voigt, and he has signed it. On Page 3, Item No. E lists the
developers and the City's responsibility as far as the costs of the system are
concerned. You notice that there's - the City is supporting the cost of the water
system that's being installed totally. We're also supporting a share, a small
share of the cost of the trunk sewer. The reason for this is that I kind of changed
horses in midstream on the diameter of the sewer pipe and increased it from a
10-inch diameter which it was originally designed to and 18-inch diameter. The
reason for that is it appeared to me it would facilitate the service to the south and
the east if we're able to utilize an 18-inch sewer line on this alignment out to
Overland Road rather than try and extend it along the off~ramp on 1-84. Because
there are some improvements along there that are going to be kind of difficult to
go through. So that's the reason for the $22,000. It gained us about 2 Yz foot of
depth at Overland Road, and it's going to allow us to extend to the south and
east for service of that area. I think in a much more expeditious manner than
trying to go down the off-ramp paralleling that on private property. That's the
reason for that amount of that cost. The bids for the project were advertised in
accordance with our requirements as though it was a City project. I believe they
received five bidders. Brown Construction was the low bidder. Coincidentally,
Brown is doing our waterline project on the north side of the interstate and also
on the south side under another contract with the City. He's just going to
continue through with the work and make the connection on both of these. I
guess you could call it kind of a private-public partnership to install this water and
sewer system, this portion of it. So, I would request that you approve this
reimbursement agreement between Gary Voigt, the developer, and the City of
Meridian for the cost to install a waterline and increase diameter sizing of sewer
line from approximately Wells Circle southward under Interstate 84, Overland
Road and to authorize Mayor to sign and City Clerk to attest.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I move that we approve this reimbursement agreement with Mr. Voigt for
the sum of $124,032.05 for the sewer and waterline extension agreement and for
the Mayor to sign and the Clerk to attest.
Rountree: Second.
Corrie: Motion made and seconded to reimbursement agreement, Mayor to sign,
Clerk to attest.

Enter into the agreement. We'll prepare the Resolution subsequent. You can go
ahead and take the action tonight and get it to the Clerk, and then that'll require a

TULLY WATER PARK IRRIGATION PUMP STATION:
Corrie: Three.
Smith: Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Council. Last Item is an agreement with Nampa
Meridian Irrigation district for the operation and maintenance of the pump station
in Tully Park. This is an irrigation water pump station that has been constructed
by the City of Meridian and partially funded by the Turtle Creek Developer. This
pump station will provide water to the Tully Park and also to Turtle Creek, and
this is an Operation Maintenance Agreement that Nampa Meridian requested so
that they will operate and maintain that pump station. We will be responsible to
maintain and operate the distribution system in Tully Park. I'm not sure what the
agreement is that Nampa Meridian has with Turtle Creek. They probably will be
maintaining their distribution system in that subdivision as well as the pump
station. Mr. Gigray has reviewed this, and Tom Kuntz has reviewed it, and I have
reviewed it and made comments, and this is the final copy that's come back from
Nampa Meridian's attorney. My request to Council is to approve this pump
station operation and maintenance agreement, to authorize the Mayor and City
Clerk to sign the agreement. Do you have any questions? I'll be happy to try to
answer them.

BILL GIGRAY:
1. PROPOSAL FOR RECONSIDERATION OF COUNCIL ACTION
PROCEDURE:
Corrie: Okay. Item C, I think, we're going to postpone and take a break.
Gigray: That's fine if you want to.
Corrie: You're not going to take too long, are you?
Gigray: No.
Meridian City Council Meet
November 16, 1999
Page 86
.
Corrie: Okay. You got it.
Gigray: First of all, I want to express my thanks to the Clerk's office and to the
Planning and Zoning Administrator. If you'll recall, we had one or two days short
of our usual time span to prepare Findings and Orders and Recommendations,
and there was an immense amount of material as a result of the last action of
Council. We tried to get all of those to you for the very next Council meeting in
time. We have still had to (inaudible) a lot of stuff, some of it came out late
because we were dealing with Comp Plan Amendments which we haven't dealt
with before, that's a little different procedure. But I just wanted to say, I wanted
to thank Will's office for all of their help in getting stuff routed at the last minute
and Shari's put under the gun here to have to review a lot of stuff at the last
minute, and I think they did a good job, and I sure appreciate their help and
support. As far as this Item 33-C, I have experienced as city attorney, an
increasing number of calls from attorneys or developers saying, gee, we want to
change this or that or the other, can't we reconsider. I think you've seen a couple
of motions where they've tried to get Council members to amend their vote for
reconsideration under Roberts Rules, and what I think we ought to do is try to
codify how that's done, and so when we get these requests, we say, this section
is how you do it. Basically, and I've sent this down for comments to Gary and to
Shari, the comments I got back were that they were not in favor of this because
they felt it created more paperwork. I will be persistent anyway and say that I
think it's something you ought to consider. This is drafted so that first of all, the
only way they can seek a reconsideration is they need to state a claim in writing
that would be a basis for which they could seek a judicial review. That's what
11-410A is all about. That's right out of that statute. Then, it has to be in writing
that's submitted to you. I would brief it for you if I think they've got a good case.
I would tell you in a memo. All you do, you don't hear any argument or anything.
It just comes back up and you say, yeah, we'll grant a re-hearing or no, we
won't. Then that's the final action and that's all there is to it. If you say no, if you
decide there's something meritorious, then you would reschedule it for argument
at a later time given notice. Then they'd have to pay a filing fee, and they would
have to go to some work to write out what it is is their basis for a re-opening or
having reconsideration. That's basically the idea is. It's not designed to have
new Staff reports or anything as you'll notice. They have to come in and argue
their point. They can't present any new evidence. It's not designed to re-open
the public hearing. It's designed to limit it to reconsideration, and it gives us
something to tell them, well, if you're going to do this, you've got to follow this.
Quite frankly, if I were representing a protester or affected party given these
provisions, I would think long and hard before I'd even want to fuss with this
because I'd be giving away my cards if I were going to take it up on a judicial
review as to really what my case is. We have one pending right now on judicial
review. Until we see their brief, we really don't know what it is they're contesting.
All they have to do is file their petition and say it's some vagaries about what their
claim is and then not until they file their brief do we know what it is. This would
Meridian City Council Meet'
Novernber16,1999
Page 87
.;
really make them state their case. I can tell you, my view or my memo to you
would probably be don't grant the request until I see something in there that I
think we might need to take another look at it because they've got a good case
for judicial review. That was the idea of this.
Bentley: More consideration.
Gigray: Right.
Corrie: Do you want to consider it (inaudible).
Gigray: This will be something you do later. It's just if you say we don't want any
part of it, then we'll just withdraw it and forget about it.
Rountree: With the explanation of it, I want to consider it now.
Bird: What?
Rountree: With the explanation now, I want to consider it.
Corrie: Okay. I would too, myself. Okay. Then let's do it.
Gigray: And I'll ask Gary and Shari to take another look at it. If they've got
some suggestions about things we need to change, but I pulled a lot of this right
out of the State Code.
Corrie: I've got comments here that I want to talk (inaudible)
Gigray: My view is that unless they can state a good case for judicial review, it's
like granting, sir, you either say yeah or no. No hearing, no nothing.
Corrie: Getting used to the long nights, Cheri? I'll entertain a motion to close the
City Council -
Bird: Mayor, were you going to have a meeting-
Corrie: Yeah. Monday. Can everybody come about 6:30 to a Special Meeting

Corrie: Oh. It's going to be about 10 minutes because it's aye or nay.

MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL PRE.COUNCIL MEETING NOVEMBER 16.1999
The Pre-Council meeting of the Meridian City Council was called to order at 6:40
p.m. on Tuesday, November 16,1999, by Mayor Robert Corrie.
MEMBERS PRESENT: BOB CORRIE, RON ANDERSON, KEITH BIRD,
CHARLIE ROUNTREE
OTHERS PRESENT: SHARI STILES, BILL GIGRAY, KENNY BOWERS, WILL
BERG, TOM KUNTZ
Corrie: It is 6:40 to discuss the Parks and Recreation Master Plan, Norm
Landerman-Moore, and that we will have an APA discussion presentation by
Charles Trainor. So, if you would like to start, Tom.
Kuntz: Mayor and Council, it's my pleasure to introduce Norm Landerman-Moore
;who is the consultant who has been conducting or putting together our Parks and
Recreation Comprehensive Plan which hopefully will be a component of the
revised City Comprehensive Plan. Norm has a draft with you tonight; wants to
spend about a half an hour with you. He'll be back on December 2nd for a
meeting with the public, and at that point, we'll bring a more final draft with maps
included for you to review during the month of December, and then we'd like to
get some comments back and plan a public hearing in January at one of the
Council meetings and have the Council adopt the Comprehensive Plan.
Corrie: Norm.
Landerman~Moore: Good evening. It's a pleasure to be with you this evening
and talk about the Comprehensive Plan. Landerman-Moore Associates, as you
know, probably, is planning an economic research for recreation, special events,
and fairs and expositions industry about 30 years in business in the western
United States primarily. In our work, we're also privileged to be part of the
National Recreation Parks Association, a revenue school program in Colorado
and San Diego, and we participate in policy development on recreation planning
and community planning throughout the United States. So we enjoy this work.
We have a commitment to it, and we have worked with many small communities
in dealing with the issues of recreation. The plan that we have been working on
with your community and with your people has had the - a certain level of public
participation and through a workshop procedure that we established and
structured to gain input, some of you, I believe, we in attendance of one or more
of those workshops, and we, in that process, did an evaluation of an inventory of
existing public and private recreation facilities and programs. We did a forecast,
also, of demand and needs for future Parks and Recreation services. We did
estimates of costs for improving and maintaining existing and future recreation
facilities. We made recommendations in the draft of development and service
standards for existing and future facilities in recreation programs. The graphic
Meridian City Coun.eeting -

Page 2
portions with the draft tha~ou have in front of you are still being prepared and
will be in the December 2 package. There is an implementation and action
program, and this plan is 2010 plan, 10-year planning horizon, and there's a cost
and funding implementation program designed into the plan for the
improvements that are projected, and also, a set of policies and standards to
guide the development and administration of the Parks and Recreation services.
In the small introduction summary that I handed you, on Page 6 of that, you'll see
some of the basic information that we discovered in this process, and that is one
that the City of Meridian has experienced, as you well know, a significant
population growth during the 90s and that appears to be continuing, and there is
a projection of population by 2010 of more than 48,000, and there are two or
three different projections depending on who you're talking to about build-out
population, but it no doubt will exceed 100,000 in population. Quite obviously,
you'll become a large community and with all of the challenges that larger
populations bring to a community. At present, the amount of park land available
to the residents of Meridian is about 64 acres which includes the 39 acres owned
by the City and 25 acres owned by a special district. A current level of service for
Parks and Recreation in the City of Meridian is about 1.7 acres of park land for
every 1,000 residents. To give you sort of a thermometer or measure device for
that level of service, we're seeing acres per thousand ratios of anywhere from
six, seven, eight acres per thousand ratios in terms of design standards for
modern populations. The current planning provides for the design of 56-acre
community park and the expansion of Chateau Park, a five-acre site, and new
park land needs for the 2010 horizon that we have designed into the plan is 152
acres beyond what you have now available within the community. That will
provide for ten new neighborhood parks and four new community parks beyond
those that are in the current planning status. For the long-term, as I mentioned,
39 acres of operational city parks, there will be an additional 61 acres of
operational parks after completion of the 56-acre community park and also
Chateau Park, and an additional 152 acres of park land will bring the total to 252
acres. There will be a need to acquire an additional 96 acres for long-term park
development and achieve the directive of a parks (inaudible) 348 acres of
operational park and for the future as you continue to grow. Using the 1999
dollar values, in terms of land acquisition, we have some discussion, by the way,
in the Commission meeting last night about information that we had received
from your local real estate organizations with regard to institutional land
categories and their pricing values, and those pricing values were given to us at
somewhere between five and ten thousand dollars an acre. That value, as we
discussed it in Commission and also with a gentleman participating from a school
district, Jim Carberry, yeah. We - Jim mentioned that the School District is
paying far in excess of that for the land that they're acquiring, and they're
probably doing about as good as anybody can do in terms of land pricing. So we
re-evaluated the valuation of the institutional land, and that's been adjusted, and
so the 152 acres using 1999 dollar values could be anywhere from 3.8 million to
4.56 million. The important thing to recognize there is that the plan itself does
not suggest that you go out and acquire land and use, you know, in the sense of
.. --
Meridian City Coun~eting
November 16, 1999
Page 3
on-the-market value, but there are other methods in terms of acquiring land or
property that should be looked at and also that you should consider moving with
a joint program with the School District or Police Department or others to secure
land suitable for neighborhood community parks. Using the cost per acre and
classifications and number of (inaudible) needed for the 2010 development
objective identified in the Comp Plan, the (inaudible) facilities development costs
could range from 15 to 35 million dollars. Again, that's not something that is
suggested in the Comp Plan that you go out and try to spend today or tomorrow
or try to create a bond program to do today or tomorrow. There's other methods.
Sort of a ramping up process is designed into the plan that addresses that on an
on-going basis. The total parks acquisition, development program identified,
would range anywhere from 18.8 million to 39.5 million. Now, if we can turn to
Page 44 of the document, the blue-covered document that you have in front of
you which is Comp Plan, and you look at on Page 44, the chart or table, I should
say, that is called the Parks and Recreation Development Program for 2000 to
2010, in the planning process, we begin to define the neighborhoods and the
population centers and growth of population, not only throughout the City, but
within the areas that are defined as urban growth boundaries or urban growth
areas. In looking at these as well as the street locations, the neighborhood
patterns, population, popular types of population and so forth, we begin to define
these recreation service areas of which there are six that are designed into the
plan. These recreation service areas then would contain a certain number of
recreational assets that would develop community parks, neighborhood parks, so
forth. You can see by that chart how the distribution of these assets throughout
the community would begin to occur. We also within the plan identified a number
of things with regard to organization if you turn to Page 46 and 47, you can see
two organizational charts side-by-side that deal with the administration and the
operations, maintenance of the parks system, and what we have on 46, on page
46, is an existing organizational structure. What we have on Page 47 is an
organizational structure that begins to more effectively deal with the management
and the operations and maintenance of a Parks and Recreation system as it
matures. Now, one of the things that we found in the research and in the
analysis is that the weakest area of recreation services that we have is in
recreation programming. That is in the actual programming of recreation
classes, recreation activities and so forth throughoutthe community. A key to
that, and one of the keys to that, one of the most effective tools to have in place
to support that kind of activity is a community recreation center or community
recreation centers. There's two different levels to be looked at in that regard.
One is a more larger unit which is in very high demand as expressed by the
public here, and something very needful expressed by the public here, and also
in our own analysis, it shows statistically, that without a recreation center or a
fairly large recreation center, you are really not able to effectively serve the year-
round recreational needs of the population. Those recreational needs in the
wintertime especially become important to the population because of the climate
conditions that exist in the wintertime and the indoor recreational opportunities
that a recreation center would provide. There is a second level of recreational
Meridian City Counfteting ..
November 16, 1999
Page 4
center which is much smaller, more (inaudible) type of recreation center. It still
gives indoor space capability, but outdoor space capability as well for year-round
utilization. So, as this organization begins to develop and we look at recreation
services and recreation programming, turn to Page 49,48 and 49, and based
upon the recreation categories and the needs for recreation, the type of
recreation programming within the department, the organizational structure will
really need to focus on this very aspect of the City's services. Not only for the
benefit of the community of Meridian, but certainly for all those who-
associations and private non~profit organizations, church groups and other
organizations within the community that participate in recreational activities. So,
recreation management and recreation program services in the community will
take on a much more weighty role in the overall Parks and Recreation
Development Program. I'd like to draw your attention, very quickly, to Page 81.
What we found in our research and our working with Tom and his staff and also
with the Parks and Recreation Commission is that the Advisory Commission itself
is not really functioning with a set of policies. The policies are essentially non-
existent in terms of directing the future and guiding the day-to-day practices of
the Commission to the extent that they address specific issues in Parks and
Recreation; for instance, park land acquisition policy is a very critical policy to
have in place not only a policy, but specific guidelines to have in place. The
reason for that is it protects you as Council members, and it protects the
Department, and it protects the Commission against those people who, for
whatever reason, may want to try to influence anyone of you in terms of going
about a property acquisition process outside the bounds of a public process; in
other words, they want to try to do it privately. It gets you into strange waters as
it were, for the legal standpoint and also not really meet the public interest as
defined in the Comprehensive Plan and so we feel that it's very important to
establish a park land acquisition policy and the guidelines specifically designed
into your policy procedures to gUide that acquisition process. A park facility
improvement policy needs to be in place where it looks at the opportunities with
the School District, it looks at opportunities of developing joint programs as well
ADA barrier free and ADA compliant. In terms of access, recreation programs
and services policy, which is defined, and all ofthese pOlicies that are included in
the pages in the - through the 80s there, 81 on through 84, 85, are all policies
which give you the what we call the umbrella policy structure in which saying
some of these policies there may be specific guidelines, specific detail,
procedural statement~ that are adopted as well in order to address a particular
matter. I'd like to draw your attention to 85, Page 85, to 5.1 E. That is an
economic performance and finance policy. Language there becomes self-
evident in terms of what is trying to - the intent of this policy, the City will identify
and participate in growth impact related public service fees and organize
assessment in such as - you'll see the word "benefit assessment." Now, the so-
called developer fee which was supposed to be the answer to all of our problems
in terms of land or acquisition of property for Parks and Recreation services, not
only in this state or in this community, but throughout the western United States
is just simply not working. It's not effective enough to really develop the
.. --
Meridian City Cou~~eting

recreational assets to support the populations generated by the populations
created again in those developments. Their needs are not being met, nor can
the cities or counties that are dealing with the growth management or developer
impact fee policies effectively carry out a program of recreation services at a
level to sustain the recreation demand that's created again by the population
generated. A benefit assessment structure designed to create a benefit
assessment district and base that upon an equity formula that is on a per cap
basis or per parcel basis, not on land values. There's a very important tool to
begin to consider utilizing. What it does is create the project, the plan, the
Comprehensive Plan. It creates the policy document for the project. The 56-
acre, for example, park which is now being master planned creates a project
definition. It's designed, its costs are understood. That is a benefit that the
publiC then understands in relationship to what they're bidding, what they're
paying for, what they're buying. And then the benefit is disbursed throughout the
entire city. The city itself becomes the benefit assessment district because that
park perceivably being of its size and nature serves the entire community's
needs in one fashion or another, and so the equity - it's not tied to property
values, again. Property values as a matter of fact, have nothing to do with
recreation whatsoever. Nothing. If I have a home with a half a million dollar
house and my wife - myself only, and our attorney here has 50,000 with eight
kids, guess who's going to place a greater demand on the park. Yet, his
payment in terms of the (inaudible) resource values is far different than mine, and
I may never use the park.
(inaudible)
Landerman-Moore: I doubt if I'd ever use it. The fact is, yeah, I'd probably have
more time to - I don't know about that. We consultants and j;lttorneys both stay
pretty busy fellows, but the fact is that a benefit assessment structure becomes a
lot more valuable tool. What we had done is we've given Tom some legal
language to consider there to advance through City Council to legal counsel,
begin to discuss how you would effectively organize benefit assessment structure
for this community. There are a number of other policies and standards that are
designed to the Comprehensive Plan to take it forward. Now, when we look at
land acquisition, it's, I think, recognized by everybody that if you wait until all the
properties are developed, if you wait until all the community development actions
have taken place, and there is not a land banking process in effect, then by the
time you get around to building a park, just like the School District testified to last
night, there's no land. Either that or the land is so expensive that there's no way
that you could ever accomplish what it is you intend to do in terms of providing
public service. So we suggest very strongly in the Comprehensive Plan that you
move forward with the land acquisition development program on a city-wide basis
in these various service areas that are defined, six areas defined and get ahead
of the curve, if you will. Try to get ahead of this process so that you're working
more closely to land as it is being developed and theh working with the
developers and the builders to consolidate land areas or dedication of fees to

acquire land in areas so you can create a neighborhood and community parks
that are going to be necessary. There's one thing about the economics and the
benefits of recreation that we have learned both at the national level and local
levels, and I'd like to pass that on to you, and I'm sure you recognize it. The
statement that I have made before in the workshops and I'll make here as a
matter of record is that you have a clear choice in today's society is to how you
treat the investment value of publiC dollars in public services when it comes to
recreation. It can either recreate or you can incarcerate. I'll certainly wager that
anyone of you could measure in your minds the cost of incarceration as
compared to the cost of recreation. When we look at the load on public services
in terms of dollar values and we look at recreation as a benefit, there is a real
and factual benefit has now been defined quite well by National Recreation Parks
Association and by other organizations including police officer organizations in
this country that has to be taken into consideration. So the value of that
recreation development program, I think, has dividends and payback capability
1hat go beyond the hard cash payback. That's just a very brief overview of the
Comprehensive Plan as Tom has mentioned. What we're going to be doing is
including the graphics, setting in the - some additional changes and
modifications there, the Parks Commission is meeting on the second, and again,
to review this document. They're going to have their responses back to me right
around the 15th of December, and then right after that, we will look forward to
your response as well, as well you will have copies of that same document in its
more final form, and then in January, we'll be holding a public meeting as well on
the second, and then in January, we'll come back to review this with you in a
public hearing and submit it for your acceptance and eventual adoption. I'd like
to say that there's - in closing, before we go into Q & A, there's a fairly good
response, I think, in the workshops from the public. We measure the response in
this kind of work not simply by numbers, it's the quality of input that we look for.
We have subsidentive (sic) quality input in those workshops. There were number
of interest expressed, views, (inaudible) views in some cases, but or (inaudible)
views in some cases, I should say, and then -I think overall we had good quality
input. But independent of that, we have been doing a lot of research and a lot of
analytical work as manifest by what you're seeing in this Comprehensive Plan to
get to the participation rates and get the kind of detailed data that we need to
make critical decisions on and make recommendations on in this Comp Plan.
So, as far as lean tell, it's subsidentive. It has good factual basis data. We have
some problems with the demographics, trying to get that settled down, after we
discovered a number of flaws in the demographic recording in the county and the
state, we needed to really tighten up on that, so we went to work through our
company out of New York and who did some additional demographics analysis
for us so that we could better understand the profile of the community and people
in Meridian. With that, I'll certainly open up to discussion at your pleasure.a
Corrie: Thank you, Norm. Questions?
Bird: I have none.

Corrie: (inaudible) Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: Table 3, there's two - (inaudible) reference to the Recreation
Services. I have not had an opportunity (inaudible) to read this. (inaudible) map
that demonstrates where those -
Landerman.Moore: Yes. That-
Rountree: Is there a narrative that explains those?
Landerman-Moore: Yes, that is correct.
Rountree: Is that in here?
Landerman-Moore: No. The narratives and the map will be forthcoming as a
part of tied to the map. There'll be several maps, in fact, back in the beginning
of right after the list of tables in the very front or just before the list of tables in the
very front of the document, you'll see a list of illustrations. In the needs
assessment, 2-1, Section 2, you'll see the Meridian Recreation Service areas,
and they'll be - Mr. Rountree, there will be a map in there, there will be a
description of the map as justification. Of course, there will be several other
models and maps which will be included in the report. That, by the way, that
Table 3-2 is really the core map of how to allocate the assets throughout the city
to better serve the community on a more balanced basis
Rountree: We'll be seeing those about when?
Landerman-Moore: Second. Second of December. We would have had them
now, but the fellow working on the computer had a death in the family, and there
was an interruption of work flow and this was hot off the press when I left
yesterday, and so - we didn't quite have (inaudible). I apologize for that.
Rountree: Procedural question, Mr. Mayor, if we have comments and conditions
and whatever on the graph that we have now (inaudible)
Kuntz: Yeah. That'd be preferable on those questions through you.
Corrie: Okay. Anyothers? Mr. Gigray.
Gigray: I would just recommend that you might consider having us review a copy
of this before you go to the public sector with it because as you may well know,
Idaho has some very severe restrictions about what local governments, units,
can do with regards to raising funds, and unless there's expressed statutory
authority for taxes which if it isn't a fee generated on the basis of the providance
of the service, if it's for general revenue purposes, it's considered a tax under
Meridian City coun.eling ..

state laws. I know that those rules aren't as strict in a lot of other states, so I
would just encourage that we ought to take a look at it at some point particularly
if you have funding issues associated with that.
Landerman-Moore: Well, that question was raised last night, and I think it's an
important one to (inaudible) out. You know, and I don't know how you feel about
pioneering, enabling legislation, there's many movements going on I understand
in the state to look at how your legislation is impeding public services and how
the people feel about their needs in relationship to being taxed or assessed in
certain ways; that certainly is an important one to begin to (inaudible) out.
Corrie: Okay. Any other questions for Norm? Thank you for presentation-
Landerman-Moore: Thanks, gentlemen. I appreciate the opportunity to work
with you and look forward to seeing you on the second.
Corrie: Okay.
(inaudible discussion amongst Council members)
Trainor: I'm Charles Trainor with the Community Planning and Zoning
Association of Southwest Idaho, 413 West Idaho, Boise, 83702. Appreciate the
opportunity to be here tonight. I know that some of you have probably seen this
project several times and are deeply familiar with everything that is to be
presented here. Would like to talk tonight about, very briefly, about Treasure
Valley Futures. It's a project that we've been working on at Community Planning
Association for about a year now. We were awarded some funding this May and
have spent the summer getting organized, and now we're out here doing some
outreach on this. This project is land use transportation analysis that's going to
be occurring over the two-county area. We're going to be involved in both
counties, 14 cities and five highway districts and 360,000 at least we're wildly
optimistic about how many people can actually get involved. That's our target.
We're doing this because we're basically, as you experienced deeply here in
Meridian, growth has really been challenging us. We have about 88,000 people
moving into the Valley since 1990, about three percent growth rate, a very high
growth rate compared to the U.S. which runs under one percent. There have
been a lot of changes in the Valley because of that. Those numbers are shown
on the material I handed out to you. Basically, 27 percent increase in housing,
29 percent increase in population, 22 percent increase in drivers, but a whopping
41 percent in the number of registered vehicles in the two counties. However,
we only have about a 14 percent increase in the roadway capacity in the sense
of adding new lanes, aisles of public road. At the same time, there's been about
49,000 acres of farmland lost in the process of this growth. That's one of the
things that we're going out to the communities and saying, well, how much more
farmland is going to be given up to urban development? Today there's about
370,000 vehicles in the two counties, nearly one for every person; we have about
Meridian City counfteting ..
November 16,1999
Page 9
a third of the population, however, that can't drive. That's becoming more and
more challenges - the communities are getting more and more spread out. Of
course, the big challenge is all that is creating a tremendous increase in traffic on
the road. Basically, a vehicle miles of travel typical measures about twice the
rate of increase of population because you get more people and also living
further and further apart. This has been a real challenge, and basically, in
creating this conflict as the cities grow out, farmland is chewed up, the farms that
are at the edge of the cities, the developing areas or even isolated pockets of
development sometimes becomes a real conflict between real farming and what
might be called suburban or very low density suburban development. This is a
good time for this project to occur. This is sort of a - we get a chance to look
forward and seek growth and sort of pick the future of the two-county area. Now,
we got this grant, basically, we had a grant we applied for, 544 proposals were
submitted, we were one of 19 across the U.S. that were funded. We felt very
pleased about that, and one of the reasons we got funded was because we felt
this was a challenging project and trying to bring together some different partners
into the mix to involve more citizens and businesses in this sort of project. There
are five goals in this - under this grant that we applied for. The first is to improve
the efficiency of the transportation system. That can mean basically how you
make roads better, how do you make alternative choices, more people able to
walk or bus to where they want to go. The other thing is to reduce the impact of
transportation on the environment. That can mean cleaner buses, it can also
mean better designed streets so there's less problem from those streets on the
community. So then you're looking at that. We want to reduce the need for
costly infrastructure investments. Showing here the Flying Y project: 70 million
dollar, approximately, project. Already in some of the 1-84 corridor studies
(inaudible) optimistic or pessimist engineer, it looks like that certain section of the
interstate may have to be 12 lanes to handle the traffic in the future. It's my
imposing for the community and certainly imposing for the pocketbook. Finally,
to ensure efficient access or second (inaudible) access to job services (inaudible)
make sure that people can get where they're going as quickly as possible, and
finally, is to encourage private~sector development patterns which meet these
purposes. So those are the wafty goals put out by the general highway
administration in awarding this. They gave it to this area because they felt that
this area has a real opportunity to look and see what could be done in a smaller
urban setting. Basically, we're not Portland, we're not San Diego. We don't have
massive cities. Can we make it work here in communities that are a lot more
typical of what you find throughout the west once you move away from the coast.
We also felt that this was an opportunity to demonstrate effective local control
and hum-drum solutions. We don't want this sort of (inaudible) here's what
they're doing in San Diego and it should work here. We all want to get citizens to
think about what kind of communities they want, and we also believe that the
elected officials are really pumped for this. There is a lot of activity such as the
Treasure Valley Partnership that really provided leadership in getting this grant
that was a very (inaudible) factor in making it happen. The primary objective to
this project, first of all, to educate citizens and elected officials about where and

how communities can grow, some of the discussion from the gentleman
presented the parks - you're growing whether you make that growth work for
you, discuss what we're going to be doing, what we want for the future of our
communities. Again, we're talking about 14 cities. Both counties. Also look at
obstacles that get in the way of the future we want. One of the issues is
sometimes they're saying, well, maybe you ought to have more growth in the
cities, denser communities, mixed uses. A lot of times that's not happening. We
want to find out why not. Is it just citizens don't want it to happen which is
perfectly legitimate. Are there other obstacles to having a denser community?
We want to define realistic tools. Basically, come out of this project with things
that staff, your staff like Shari, can put to work. We don't want a lot of pretty
pictures. We want things that you can actually, you know, changes in subdivision
ordinances, zoning ordinances, Comprehensive Plans, financial policies of
lending institutions and so forth that can actually be put to work. We are looking
for solutions for real setting in this project. We have a lot of project partners in
this. Public policy makers, such as yourself, we're trying to mix them together
with community partners that are listed on the material I handed to you. All of
these people are supposed to come together over this next year to work on this
project. The elements of this project is first of all, what we're doing right here,
going to talk to elected officials, Planning and Zoning Commissions, Highway
District Commissions, anybody we can get to to let them know that this project
coming up and try to get their involvement in it. The second one is this regional
trend baseline from the demographic issues. If we continue to grow, what's
going to happen in the two counties over the next 20, 30 years. Some of the
numbers that Ronnie Garing~Pratt (sic) of our office developed in request of
Treasure Valley Partnership communicated that just based on current plans, you
could have a population of in excess of 700,000 in the two counties; roughly
double what we have here today. Employment would also double in the area.
So back to what I said about vehicle miles of travel increase is twice as fast as
the populations. So if you have a doubling of population, you're going to have
four times as much travel on the road as you have today. Benchmark (sic) Three
is to look at those barriers. To go community by community and say, if you want
higher density, if you want mixed uses in your community, we're making a leap of
faith there, what is it that's in your plans, your subdivision ordinances that does
not permit it, what about the infrastructure, the sewer, the water capacity. I think
one of the important ones is what are the prospectives of citizens and developers
on these type of alternative land use patterns? If people say do you need eight,
nine units per acre in your community in certain areas, and I know one of the big
things is people oppose that. Well, alii want is exactly what we have here. In
one meeting I sat in the City of Eagle, the people (inaudible) one-acre slums
coming into our area which I thought was kind of unusual. Benchmark Four is to
basically take those barriers and turn them around and basically create tool kits.
Basically - here's what this community can do. Here's what it can change to

height and width could also vary with the buffer to provide
a more integrated appearance.
The proposed height of Building "D" is approximately 33
feet. The actual height of the buildings from finished grade
to roof-line peal<. as viewed from the south shall be no more
than two (2) story. We request further detail and
representation at the hearing on the actual height of the
buildings from finished grade to roof-line peak as viewed
from the south (i.e., the 21/z-story versus 3~story
appearance) .
Assuming an above-ground height difference of 8-10 feet
between Buildings A-C and Building D, staff recommend
the Applicant relocate both Building "D's" to the current
location of Building "B" on the west boundary and move
Building "B" to the south boundary. This is to minimize the
view obstruction to the south properties.
The proposed parking layout will result in a "sea of asphalt"
appearance given the absence of any landscape islands or
landscape bump-outs. The applicant shall revise plan to
incorporate a visual break in the form of landscaping or
other feature (i.e. benches or artwork) for at least every
fourteen (14) adjacent parking stalls. Staff would support
the relocation of trees from the west or east buffer area to

the parking areas since the number of proposed trees on the
site is nearly double the ordinance requirement (57 required
and 120+ shown). Note, though, that the landscaping
represented on the final plan approved by the City Council
for the CUP may not be reduced.
The Site Plan currently shows 192 parking stalls on site,
which is the minimum number required by the Zoning &
Development Ordinance for a 96-unit complex. In order to
accommodate the recommended parking lot landscaping
revision, staff calculate that a minimum of four (4) stalls will
need to be omitted. Staff recommend the Applicant propose
a revised plan to meet this internal landscaping requirement
and that the Commission and Council grant Staff authority
to negotiate the final parking design. The Applicant may
need to reduce the total number of dwelling units to
accommodate this requirement.
The garage which is located in the existing structure which is
depicted on the Cobblestone Village Site Plan Al.0, File
Tamura &Associates, Project No. 9834, received City of
Meridian City Clerk's office on August 25,1999, as "1
STORY BRICK WITH BASEMENT" shall be occupied and
used asa maintenance facility for the development to house
equipment and operations required for the repair and
maintenance of all common areas of the development.
There shall be no on site parking of commercial or
recreational equipment or vehicles.

2.12 If any surface drainage leaves the site, the Nampa & Meridian Irrigation
District must review drainage plans.
2.13 The Developer must contact the Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District
for approval before any encroachment or change of right-of-way occurs.
Developer must comply with Idaho Code S 31-3805.
2.14 Any existing irrigation/drainage ditches crossing the property to be
included in this project, shall be tiled per City Ordinance 11-9-605.M.
The ditches to be piped should be shown on the site plans. Plans will
need to be approved by the appropriate irrigation/drainage district, or
lateral users association, with written confirmation of said approval
submitted to the Public Works Department. No variances have been
requested for tiling of any ditches crossing this project.
2.15 Any existing domestic wells and/or septic systems within this project will
have to be removed from their domestic service per City Ordinance
Section 5-7-517. Wells may be used for non-domestic purposes such as
landscape irrigation.
2.16 Off-street parking shall be provided in accordance with Section 11-2-414

2.20 All signage shall be in accordance with the standards set forth in Section
11-2-415 of the City of Meridian Zoning and Development Ordinance.
No temporary signage, flags, banners or flashing signs will be permitted.
2.21 Provide five-foot.wide sidewalks in accordance with City Ordinance
Section 11-9-606.B.
2.22 All construction shall conform to the requirements of the Americans with
Disabilities Act.
2.23 As stated in the 7-6-99 letter from Department of Water Resources
Stream Protection Specialist M. Gene Gibson to Shari Stiles, separate
permits will be required from IDWR and Corps of Engineers before any
activity can take place below the high water mark of Five Mile Creek. The
Nampa Meridian Irrigation District (NMID) also requires separate
pemlits prior to any construction. It appears from the revised Site Plan
that the NMID.required 30-feet right-of-way from the Five Mile Creek
centerline is protected and no building activity will occur below the high
water mark. Applicant must confirm this and submit compliance letters
from said agencies.
2.24 Applicant must submit ten (10), 8 1/2" X 11" copies of building elevations
for the proposed Buildings "c" and "D" prior to the 9-14-99 P&Z
Commission hearing. To date, elevations have been received only for
Buildings "A" and "B." The blueprint elevations submitted to P&Z
Department on 8.26-99 also include a proposed Building "E" but no "E"
is represented on the Site Plan. Please clarify.
2.25 We recommend the proposed landscaping along the south boundary be
incorporated with a berm at least three-feet (3') in height to provide for
maximum sound barrier. Given the variance of buffer widths along this
boundary line (i.e. from 16' in the center to 36' at Building "B"), the
berm height and width could also vary with the buffer to provide a more
integrated appearance.
2.26 The proposed height of Building "D" is approximately 33 feet. The actual
height of the buildings from finished grade to roof.line peak as viewed

detail and representation at the hearing on the actual height of the
buildings from finished grade to roof-line peak as viewed from the south
(i.e., the 21/2-stOry versus 3-story appearance).
2.27 Assuming an above-ground height difference of 8-10 feet between
Buildings A-C and Building D, staff recommend the Applicant relocate
both Building "D's" to the current location of Building "B" on the west
boundary and move Building "B" to the south boundary. This is to
minimize the view obstruction to the south properties.
2.28 The proposed parking layout will result in a "sea of asphalt" appearance
given the absence of any landscape islands or landscape bump-outs. The
applicant shall revise plan to incorporate a visual break in the form of
landscaping or other feature (i.e. benches or artwork) for at least every ,
fourteen (14) adjacent parking stalls. Staff would support the relocation
of trees from the west or east buffer area to the parking areas since the
number of proposed trees on the site is nearly double the ordinance
requirement (57 required and 120+ shown). Note, though, that the
landscaping represented on the final plan approved by the City Council
for the CUP may not be reduced.
2.29 The Site Plan currently shows 192 parking stalls on site, which is the
minimum number required by the Zoning & Development Ordinance for

2.34 Provide a recorded cross access easement for the parcel to the south to use
this parcel for access to the public streets prior to issuance of a building
permit (or other required permits).
2.35 Construct a 24-foot wide driveway on Franldin Road, located
approximately 340-feet west 01 Locust Grove Road. The driveway shall
be signed to control left turns. The design and sight distance should be
reviewed and approved by Development Services staff.
2.36 Construct a 24-foot wide driveway on Locust Grove Road, located
approximately 315-feet south of Franldin Road.
2.37 Pave the driveways their full width and at least 30-feet beyond the edge

2.16 Off-street parking shall be provided in accordance with Section

The Nampa Meridian Irrigation District (NMID) also requires separate
ORDER OF CONDITIONAL APPROVAL OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - PAGE 4 OF 8

--
e
permits prior to any construction. It appears from the revised Site Plan
that the NMID-required 30-feet right-of-way from the Five Mile Creek
centerline is protected and no building activity will occur below the
high water mark. Applicant must confirm this and submit compliance
letters from said agencies.
2.24 Applicant must submit ten (10), 8 J/2" x II" copies of building
elevations for the proposed Buildings "c" and "D" prior to the 9.14.99
P&Z Commission hearing. To date, elevations have been received only
for Buildings "A" and "B." The blueprint elevations submitted to P&Z
Department on 8-26-99 also include a proposed Building "E" but no
"E" is represented on the Site Plan. Please clarify.
2 .25 We recommend the proposed landscaping along the south boundary be
incorporated with a berm at least three-feet (3') in height to provide for
maximum sound barrier. Given the variance of buffer widths along this
boundary line (i.e. from 16' in the center to 36' at Building "B"), the
berm height and width could also vary with the buffer to provide a
more integrated appearance.
2.26 The proposed height of Building "D" is approximately 33 feet. The
actual height of the buildings from finished grade to roof-line peak as
viewed from the south shall be no more than two (2) story. We request
further detail and representation at the hearing on the actual height of
the buildings from finished grade to roof-line peak as viewed from the
south (i.e., the 21/2-stOry versus 3-story appearance).
2.27 Assuming an above-ground height difference of 8-10 feet between
Buildings A-C and Building D, staff recommend the Applicant relocate
both Building "D's" to the current location of Building "B" on the west
boundary and move Building "B" to the south boundary. This is to
minimize the view obstruction to the south properties.
2.28 The proposed parking layout will result in a "sea of asphalt" appearance
given the absence of any landscape islands or landscape bump-outs.
The applicant shall revise plan to incorporate a visual break in the form
of landscaping or other feature (i.e. benches or artwork) for at least
every fourteen (14) adjacent parking stalls. Staff would support the
relocation of trees from the west or east buffer area to the parking areas

e
since the number of proposed trees on the site is nearly double the
ordinance requirement (57 required and 120+ shown). Note, though,
that the landscaping represented on the final plan approved by the City
Council for the CUP may not be reduced.
2.29 The Site Plan currently shows 192 parking stalls on site, which is the
minimum number required by the Zoning & Development Ordinance
for a 96-unit complex. In order to accommodate the recommended
parking lot landscaping revision, staff calculate that a minimum of four
(4) stalls will need to be omitted. Staff recommend the Applicant
propose a revised plan to meet this internal landscaping requirement
and that the Commission and Council grant Staff authority to
negotiate the final parking design. The Applicant may need to reduce
the total number of dwelling units to accommodate this requirement.
2.30 The garage which is located in the existing structure which is depicted
on the Cobblestone Village Site Plan Al.O, File Tamura &Associates,
Project No. 9834, received City of Meridian City Clerk's office on
August 25, 1995, as "I STORY BRICK WITH BASEMENT" shall be
occupied and used asa maintenance facility for the development to
house equipment and operations required for the repair and
maintenance of all common areas of the development.
2.31 There shall be no on site parking of commercial or recreational
equipment or vehicles.
2.32 Dedicate 48-feet of right-of-way from the centerline of Locust Grove
Road abutting the parcel by means of recordation of a final subdivision
plat or execution of a warranty deed prior to issuance of a building
permit (or other required permits), whichever occurs first.
2.33 Dedicate 48-feet of right-of-way from the centerline of Franldin Road
abutting the parcel by means of recordation of a final subdivision plat
or execution of a warranty deed prior to issuance of a building permit
(or other required permits), whichever occurs first.
2.34 Provide a recorded cross access easement for the parcel to the south to
use this parcel for access to the public streets prior to issuance of a
building permit (or other required permits).

be signed to control left turns. The design and sight distance should be
reviewed and approved by Development Services staff.

locations of driveways, shall be placed on future development of this
parcel.
2.41 Other than the access points specifically approved with this
application, direct lot or parcel access to Locust Grove Road or Franldin

and submit evidence.
2. There has been compliance with all notice and hearing requirements set
forth in the City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan and Idaho Code S 67-6509.
3. The property which is the subject of the application for amendment is
described in said application and by this reference is incorporated herein as if set
forth in full.
4. The Applicant is Developers Diversified Realty Corporation, of 3300
Enterprise Park Way, Beechwood, Ohio 44122. The Applicant filed a written
Comprehensive Plan amendment application.
5. Pursuant to the application, the affected property is generally described
as a 12.3 acre parcel V2 mile ease of Eagle Road at 4000 E. Fairview Ave.; the affected
property is currently designated Single Family Residential; the applicant is requesting
a Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map change from Single Family Residential to
Commercial;
6. The Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission talces judicial notice of
its Zoning, Subdivision and Development Ordinances codified at Title 11, Municipal
Code of the City of Meridian and all current zoning maps thereof and the
Comprehensive Plan of the City of Meridian, adopted December 21, 1993, Ord. No.
629-Jan.4, 1994 and Maps and Ordinance establishing the Impact Area Boundary.
7. The Applicant requested the Comprehensive Plan amendment and the

RECOMMENDATION COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT
DEVELOPERS DIVERSIFIED REALTY CORP. - 4000 E. FAIRVIEW AVE. - 2
8. The proposed application requests a Comprehensive Plan amendment to
change the designation of the subject property from Single Family Residential to
Commercial. The designation change requires an amendment to the Comprehensive
Plan of the City of Meridian as requested by the Applicant. (City of Meridian
Comprehensive Plan, pg. 78-79).
9. The Applicant testified at the public hearing that the particular
characteristics of the affected property make the amendment desirable.
10. The Planning and Zoning Administrator, Shari Stiles, submitted
comments by and through a Memorandum dated September 28, 1999, and
submitted comments by and through testimony during the September 30, 1999,
public hearing on this matter. Such report and comments are hereby incorporated
herein, as follows:
10.1. The parcel does not appear to be eligible for a split and would
require a subdivision plat to be submitted and approved.
10.2 The Meridian Comprehensive Plan currently designates this area
as single-family residential. Although changes are occurring in the
area that may make other uses desirable in this location, staff
feels the request for a comprehensive plan amendment should not
be granted at this time. More detailed policies need to be
established regarding the commercial and mixed/planned use
development areas, and development of strip commercial is to be
discouraged.
10.3 Commercial development immediately adjacent to the cemetery
could be disruptive to those holding services there and
consideration for buffering of the cemetery would need to be
closely reviewed.

RE: Family Center at Meridian - MCU-17-98
Traffic rmpact Study
Dear Dave:
The purpose of this supplemental analysi~ is to consider the marginal impacts of the addition of
100,000 sq.fL of retail space to the approved Family Center at Meridian
At full buildolll, the total traffic generated by the Center \Nill increase by 2040 vehicles per day.
Moreover, this retail addition ...,(:ill add appro:;:imately 225 new peak hoUl' tfip~
Site access will be available from Fairview Avenue via the Records Avenue intersection plus two
new driveways. It is anticipated that the new signalized Records Avenue intersection \vili receive
the majority of the site traft1e, especially the left-tuming movements The c.apacity analysis for
this signal was recalculated to include the additional traffic. The projected service levels are
within the CID range for all approaches during the peak hour period This capacity is favorable
and well within acceptable standards.
Acceptable service levels will also be achieved at the site driveways to Fairview Avenue where the
predominant movements will be right turns.
The findings of trus supplemental analysis indicate that no signific.ant traffic problems will result
from adding the proposed retail space to the Family Center site.
Sincerely,
Patrick Dobie, P. E.

Applicant filed a written Comprehensive Plan amendment application with the
consent and permission of the owners of the real property.
7. Pursuant to the application, the affected property is generally described
as a 12.3 acre parcellh mile east of Eagle Road at 4000 E. Fairview Ave.; the affected
property is currently designated Single Family Residential.
8. The Meridian City Council takes judicial notice of its Zoning,
Subdivision and Development Ordinances codified at Title 11, Municipal Code of
the City of Meridian and all current zoning maps thereof and the Comprehensive
Plan of the City of Meridian, adopted December 21,1993, Ord. No. 629-Jan.4, 1994

existing cemetery, which is located in Ada County. Applicant is requesting the Land
Use Designation be amended to Commercial, in order to integrate the property into
the Family Center at the Meridian project. The 1993 Comprehensive Plan Land Use
Chapter states - Cornmercial and retail areas are established along the Fairview Avenue
conidor. Section #4 of the Comprehensive Plan - Commercial Activity Centers, states
- The location of Community Shopping Centers should be guided by peJfonnance and
development standards which consider that Commercial Activiry Centers be located in proximity
to other commercial developments and minimize impacts upon other adjacent areas. The
Commercial Policies Section states - Community Shopping Centers will be encouraged to
locate at arterial intersections and near high-traffic intensity areas. The reclassification of
this project to land use of "Commercial" will meet all of these stated goals and
policies, integrate the property into an existing commercial development and provide
a buffer from the existing cemetery to the south and east. It is highly unlikely that
the property to the east of the subject property would change from a cemetery use,
which provides an excellent buffer to a commercial development.
12. The development intentions for the subject real property is to integrate
the subject property into the existing Family Center at Meridian [this is the
development which is subject to the conditional use permit for an 848,000 square

foot retail shopping center which is a 74.74 acre site herein above mentioned]. It is
the intent of the developer to create a commercially zoned property including the
subject property which is approximately 24 acres in size. A Mixed Use Commercial
development is planned in conjunction with the retail shopping center.
13. The conditions or situation which warrants a change being made from
Single Family Residential to Commercial includes the fact that since the approval of
the existing Comprehensive Plan there has been improvements to Eagle Road to
make it a full five (5) lane road, and the property along Fairview Avenue adjacent and
to the west of the subject property all the way to the intersection of Eagle Road and
Fairview has been approved for the Applicant's conditional use permit for an 848,000
square foot retail shopping center, which is a 74.74 acre site, which is now being
built. Considering the subject application is an extension of that development, which
has taken into account development conditions, and considerations to buffer the
commercial development, and the heavy traffic on Fairview and Eagle Roads from the
Single Family Residential development, which lies to the south of the retail shopping
center and considering previous conditions at the time of the adoption of the
Comprehensive Plan that all of said area was undeveloped and considering the
existing conditions, trends, desirable goals and objectives, and the desirable future

application to enable appropriate zoning of the subject area as the same shall be
annexed into the City.

Compiled Ordinances of the City of Meridian, Section 11-2-410 A, Zoning Schedule of
Bulk and Coverage Controls for R-15 zone, which provides for "Interior Side Minimum
Yard Setback Requirements of 5' per stOlY. There is a total of 7' on the east property
boundary line for the construction of this proposed two story tri-plex."
9. The characteristics of the subject property which prevent compliance with
the requirements of the Ordinance are an encroachment of a carport and fence on the west
boundary of the property. The neighbor will not cooperate with the property owner and
relocate the carport or fence. All fences along the Broadway parcels are off by 7 feet.
10. The difficulty or hardship which would result if requirements of the
Ordinance were applied to the subject property are that a structure cannot be constructed
on the lot due to the neighbors encroachment.

11. The unusual or peculiar circumstances which indicate that regulations of this
Ordinance should not be strictly compiled with, is that, the property boundary problems
in this area have created a unique situation that cannot be resolved with the neighbor.
The Applicant has to accommodate the encroachment of the carport and fence.
12. The statement that special conditions and circumstances exist which are
peculiar to the land, structure or buildings involved which are not applicable to other
lands, structures or buildings in the same district pertains to the matter that the neighbors
have assumed for years the property boundary was the existing fence line. Modifications
of the neighbor's fence and carport would cause a hardship.
13. A literal interpretation of the provisions of the Ordinance shall deprive the
Applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under terms
of the Ordinance is that the lot is only 66 feet wide, and to reduce the lot by the two 10
foot setbacks and the 3 foot overhang, the lot would only have a buildable area of only 43
feet. This 43 feet is difficult to build upon.
14. The statement that special conditions or circumstances exist that were not
a result of the Applicant's action are that the property boundary problems have existed fro
111any years, predating the Applicant.
15. The variance requested are not out of convenience but from necessity. The
configuration of the parcel was determined by prior developments (i.e., sewer and water

previously installed). The variance is not profit oriented, it is due to practicality. This
request is to satisfy the wishes of the neighbor on the west. The neighbor does not want
to relocate the carport or fence. This variance will allow the carport and fence to remain.
17. The Applicant's request for a variance does not contradict the Meridian
Comprehensive Plan.
18. The granting of the requested variance will not be detrimental to the public's
welfare or injurious to other property in the area of the proposed plat, and, in fact, the
development of the plat in accordance with the conditions of approval and the
requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance will prevent the conditions which are the
source of the complaints raised in the public hearing of this matter.
19. The granting of this variance will not have an effect of altering the interest
and purpose of the Subdivision or Development Ordinance and or the City's
Comprehensive Plan.
20. The Applicant paid the fee established by the City Council for application
variance.

8. The Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission took judicial notice of
its Zoning, Subdivision and Development Ordinances codified at Title 11, Municipal
@ode of the @ity of Meridian and all current zoning maps thereof and the
Comprehensive Plan of the @ity of Meridian, adopted December 21, 1993, Ord. No.
629-Jan.4, 1994 and Maps and Ordinance establishing the Impact Area Boundary.
9. The Applicant requested the Comprehensive Plan amendment and the
application was not initiated at the request of the @ity of Meridian.
10. The designation change requires an amendment to the Comprehensive
Plan of the @ity of Meridian as requested by the Applicant. (City of Meridian
Comprehensive Plan, pg. 78-79).
11. The Assistant to the City Engineer, Bruce Freckleton, and the Assistant
Planner, Steve Siddoway, submitted comments by and through a Memorandum
dated September 28, 1999, and Bruce Freckleton and Shari Stiles, Planning and
Zoning Administrator submitted comments by and through testimony during the
September 30, 1999, public hearing on this matter. Such report and comments are
hereby adopted as Findings and are hereby incorporated herein, as follows:
11.1 COMPATIBILITY & DESIGN ISSUES: The proposed project is
fully compatible with St. Luke's to the west. St. Luke's
representatives have expressed support for the project.
@onsideration for adequate buffering of the existing residential

.
subdivisions would need to be carefully considered during future
detailed plan reviews.
11.2 The proposed project includes a private road campus, which likely
will be a hot issue. ACHD will need to determine if a public road
will be required through the project.
11.3 PUBLI@ WORKS ISSUES: The Public Works' Facility Plan
forecasts the northerly portion of this property to be served with
sewer extending through the R@ Willey site, and the southerly
portion to be served by sewer extending through the Saint Luke's
site. The line dividing the north portion from the southerly
portion is not clearly defined. This line represents the division by
which gravity sewer can drain to each of the two mains. The
current Meridian @omprehensive Plan indicates a proposed well
site in the vicinity of the mid section line intersection with
Franklin Road. The Public Works Department still desires to
develop a new well in this vicinity. These and other issues will be
determined when annexation and development applications are
processed. Water service to any future development is contingent
upon positive results from a hydraulic analysis by our computer
model.
11.4 OTHER: It appears that Records of Survey have been recorded
to establish separate parcels of property. The City of Meridian
does not recognize these parcels as legal lots, and appropriate
subdivision platting will need to take place prior to initiation of
any development of the property.
11.5 Staff recommends approval of the @omprehensive Plan
Amendment as a MixedIPlanned Use Development. Due to the
Mixed/Planned Use designation, all development applications will
require a @onditional Use Permit and design review by the
Planning & Zoning @ommission and City Council. Approval of a
change in the land use designation in no way indicates approval
of any concept plans presented, nor serviceability of the site.

12. The Meridian Planning and Zoning staff offered the following analysis
of the written Comprehensive Plan which the Council hereby adopts as Findings of
the compatibility of the application to the written Comprehensive Plan to-wit:
12.1 The 1993 Comprehensive Plan contains a variety of goals and
policies relevant to this application. The following sections most
directly apply to the proposed project and are repeated here for
the @ouncil and Commission's consideration during the hearing
process.
Goal 3 is "to encourage the kind of economic growth and
development which supplies employment and economic self-
sufficiency for existing and future residents, reduces the present
reliance on Boise and strengthens the City's ability to finance and
implement public improvements, services, and its open space
character. "
Goal 4 of the Comprehensive Plan is "to provide housing
opportunities for all economic groups within the community."
Goal 8 is "to establish compatible and efficient use of land
