STORM WATER MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that storm water be pre-treated through a grassy swale
prior to discharge to the subsurface to prevent impact to ground water and
surface water quality. The engineers and architects involved with the design
of this project should obtain current best management practices for storm
water disposal and design a storm water management system that is
preventing grOundwater and surface water degradation. Manuals that could
be used for guidance are:

Idaho Cities and Counties.

Oear Sir,
In the matter of Falash & Ross Construction application for Conditional Use Permits, Lot 5,
Block 2 and Lot 1 O, Block ? of the Medimont Subdivision, ! cannot testify in person and present
my testimony in writing for record.
Although several lots apart, both of these developments appear to be identical (if mirror images
of each other) and my comments here address both developments in lieu of filling two sets of
repetitious comments.
1. Encroachment of parking lots on existing easements.
On both lots, 12 parking spaces on the East side of each development are sited UPON an
irrigation easement. These are clearly indicated by dotted lines through the parking spaces.
The City of Meridian prohibits development upon easements, so the parking spaces shown are in
violation of Ordinances and will have to be withdrawn from use. Ordinances aside, however, it
must be pointed out that the irrigation system involved is only a 1' diameter pipe, and just
barely below the ground. It was not designed to hold the weight of parking or traffic and is
subject to rupture.
In the matter of Lot 10, Block 2, ALL of the parking spaces on the south side (in addition to all
the spaces on the east side) are also placed on the irrigation easement. Although the plat fails to
label the easement, the dotted line between junction boxes (which are correctly labeled) shows
the easement being paved over.
The Commission may recall that the irrigation easement was a point of contention during the
annexation of Medirnont. The residential owners wanted the easement within the nature strip
while the developer wanted the easement within the bounds of the development. Among the
residents' reason against the easement within the development was that it would overstate
useable space on some lots. Which is what seems to have happened in this case.
In sum, this easement voids of all parking on Lot 1 O, Block Z, and voids one third of the parking
on Lot 5, Block 2, and may mean neither of these projects is feasible.
Z. Lack of Storm Drainage.
Plats for both properties show areas designated as ~Appmx. Location of Seepage". I believe
storm drainage to Adkins Way is required in Medimont by Ordnance. More important to the
residents, however, are two points. First, all of the residences are on wells for domestic water.
"Seepage" as shown, could easily contaminate this water table (we test our water twice a year
as the result of this possibility). Second, all of the residences are BELOW the level of
Medimont. if "Seepage" did not work, any flooding would be toward the residences.
Accordingly, we request the developer use proper Storm drainage and that all road and parking
surfaces be paved - paving is not specified on the plats.
3. Dumpters.
Both properties site the dumpsters on the irrigation easement, and as with parking, would have
to be relocated elsewhere. However, we also not that the dumpsters are located as close as they
can be to residential properties. Whether screened or not, they are a vector hazard and should
be either housed within the structure (as was required with Brackus Machine Shop which
adjoins Lot 5, Block 2, or moved to the westem side of the developments.
4. There is No Provision for Landscaping.
In the application of Intermountain Wood Products (November, 7001 ), the City required
landscaping and / or a soundwall between the development and the adjoining residences due to
high volume of traffic. Lot 10, Block 2: and Lot 5, Block ?_ also abut residences (Smith and
Roberson) and have their traffic flow designed to pass immediately next to the residences.
Intermountain Wood Products adjoins Lot 1 O, Block 2 to the north.
This design may change with the elimination of the eastern parking spaces (because of the
easement violation). However, as presently platted, we would ask that sound and light
mitigation be required on the eastern boundaries of both properties as precedent with
Intermountain Wood Products so that no light or sound will intrude into residential property.
5. Intended Use is Unspecific.
Both retail and warehousing are allowed by the Development Agreement - provided they are
compatible with the quiet enjoyment of residences. Both of the properties on these applications
are apparently being built on speculation, where by actual use of the properties will not be
known UNTIL AFTER tenants occupy the spaces.
The Annexation only prohibited exotic uses (to wit a railroad yard, waste transfer, truck
terminal, etc) EXCEPT for conditional use properties as are the two properties in question.
believe a blanket CPU should not be issued.
We
For example, a welding supply warehouse, with explosive materials, could become a tenant too
close to residents, but would be allowed under a blanket CUP of warehouse; a tavern could
become a tenant next to residences under a blanket CPU of retail.
Given this, we would ask that a Conditional Use Permit be required for each tenant in specific,
as well as for the main developments in general. Otherwise, we would ask that the developer be
made to specifically declare the types and limitations he will put on tenants as a requisite for
obtaining a CPU. The developer should be agreeable to this as he could clearly see that
properties adjoined residential and should have been made aware that uses, by Ordnances,
Development Agreement, CPU, and opportunity of litigation could be less general than other lots
within Medimont.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide public testimony, and thank you for the Commission's
interest and consideration.
Sincerely,
J~Wit~erell
