PROCLAMATIONS [Action Item]
1. Meridian High School Wrestling State Championship Proclamation
Hoaglun: Next up is a proclamation. For the third year in a row of the Meridian
Wrestling team. Please come on in. Well, this is fantastic. You know, this is a special
occasion. I mean you guys are making this a regular deal and I kind of like that. We
even decided for the third time you got to have your picture up on the big screen. So,
we -- we wanted to do that. And it's especially special to me, since I am an alum of
Meridian High School. So, I think this is fantastic. Appreciate you guys representing my
alma mater very very well. So, let me ask you a few quick questions. How many of you
have been on the team for -- and I know some of you are younger, just on the team --
coming up freshman, sophomore. But how many of you been on the team for three
years -- three championships? Great. You know, it's -- it's one thing to do it one time
and that's a great thing to have and -- and to take away and it's a memory you have for
the rest of your life, but -- but three times, that's a heck of an accomplishment. But no
pressure, but we expect you back next year. Also let -- let me ask you how many of you
placed at state this year? Raise your -- raise your hand. Now, of course, I'm curious if
you placed at state and you did -- raise your hand again. If you placed at state raise
your hand. Nice and high. Now hold up how many fingers -- how many times have you
won at state? Number of times. If you just -- okay. You placed. Okay that's good. One
-- okay. If you -- just one take -- take down. If you are two or more keep your hand up.
Okay. How many? Three? Two of you have done it three times. All three years.
That's fantastic. Congratulations. And who -- who is a junior? You are the junior. Again
-- and -- and no pressure on you for a fourth time. None at all is there? No. I -- I think if
you have won it three times you put enough pressure on yourself that you want to do it
four times I'm sure. Yeah. Yep. That would be awesome. That would be awesome. I
think there is only -- in 5-A only ten players in the history that they keep records have
done it four times I think. I -- I'm not -- I'm not positive, but I think I saw something about
that. But that would be fantastic. You would be number 11, so -- well, we have got this
special proclamation. Mayor -- Mayor Simison is out, but he signed this before -- before
he left the meeting. So, we are -- we are good to go here. So, let me read this.
Whereas being a Meridian high school wrestler is more than escapes, takedowns, pins
and achieving state titles, it is training to build leadership, character, confidence,
teamwork and resilience, all traits needed to succeed on the mat, in the classroom, and
in the real world and whereas the work -- hard work and dedication of the Meridian
wrestling team and coaches has resulted in a three peat to become the 2023 state
wrestling champions and whereas your tenacity racked up 280.5 team points to once
again bring -- bring the trophy home to Meridian and whereas the Meridian Warriors
Meridian City Council
April 18,2023
Page 3 of
have continued to conquer the competition and become the dominant squad in the 5-A
ranks and whereas the leadership, training and discipline of their coaches helped all
team members to focus their talents, passion and determination to become a dynasty,
with each player making valuable contributions to the victory. Therefore, I, Brad
Hoaglun, on behalf of Mayor Robert E. Simison, hereby proclaim April 18th, 2023, as
Meridian High School Wrestling State Champions Day in the City of Meridian and call
upon the community to join us in congratulating the Meridian High Warriors on their
remarkable athletic achievement and for representing Meridian so proudly in the state
tournament. Thank you very much, gentlemen. And ladies. And ladies. And you were
state -- you placed as well? That's -- that's fantastic. First place. That's awesome.
Coach Muri, come on up, say a few words.
Muri: Thanks, Gonzo. Yeah. The kids are always making fun of my style, which I
appreciate. Yeah. Once again complete team effort top to bottom; right? You don't get
the job done in the sport of wrestling with one or two individuals; right? It was a -- it was
a team effort and we are missing some guys that are at wrestling practice and rugby
practice. But this is most of the state team and we actually have quite the coaching
staff. I think there is 15 or 16 of us and, yeah, it's just a lot of -- a lot of selfless people
investing a lot of time in these kids and it's cool when you get to see the fruit of your
labor and these kids -- they -- they do it all; right? They -- they lift. They run. They
wrestle. They live clean lifestyle. It's cool to see them get it done and we definitely --
you know, these aren't easy to win, so we are super grateful. That's all I got. Thanks
for all the support, you guys.
Hoaglun: All right, coach. We are -- we are passing out -- I thought the easiest way to
do it -- we have a City of Meridian pin for each one of you. They are being passed
down. But we are going to take a picture here. We will go in front of the -- the podium
and the proclamation -- we have the generic one, but we have the one with everybody's
name that -- from the -- from the team, state champions, that you guys can have as well
and put on display and it will be in city records forever. So, when somebody wants to
look you up, you know, when Google is not a thing anymore there will be something
else, there you will be, so -- anyway. So, keep passing those down and, then, let's
stand in front and we can all get photos. Yeah. Let's hear it. Let's hear it. All right.
Give them a hand. Thank you.
DEPARTMENT/ COMMISSION REPORTS [Action Item]
2. Public Works Department: 2023 Environmental Excellence Awards
Hoaglun: All right. We are not done with recognitions this evening. This is a great
night. This is kind of fun. Next up Department/Commissioner Reports. We have an
action item that -- from Public Works and the 2023 Environmental Excellence Award.
Jason Korn come on up and the podium is yours and I flipped it around and I probably
shouldn't have. I -- I don't have enough practice, so -- that lever on the left side there
you can pull out and, then, swing around. That -- you can do it. It's on the side. Yeah.
There you go. All right. So --
Meridian City Council

Korn: All right. All right. Thanks, Members of the Council. My name is Jason Korn. I'm
the environmental programs coordinator with the City of Meridian. It is my honor to be
here this evening to present the 2023 Environmental Excellence Awards. Our
Environmental Excellence Awards program is a way for us to recognize those
individuals, businesses and organizations in our community that really demonstrate a
commitment to environmental sustainability and making Meridian a better place to live.
Yeah. And this year we had several nominations from the community at large, which we
reviewed with our cross-departmental team here at the city to select two winners for this
year and it is really exciting to honor two volunteer lead programs and with that I will
bring up our first recipient. So, Dan Fraser has been volunteering with the Recycle a
Bicycle program, which is a partnership with the Meridian Solid Waste Commission and
Republic Services where they rescue bikes that were destined for the landfill and
reconstruct them into usable bikes, which are, then, put out to the community and Dan
has been serving as a volunteer for picking up those bikes, getting them out of the -- the
trash bins, taking them -- revamping them, taking what parts he can, making those bikes
that could, then, be used by children, adults, teens. He's been doing that for six years
now and has completed -- I talked with him earlier this afternoon -- over 1,800 bikes that
have gone back out into our community to be used by those, you know, kids -- refugee
families -- really it's all across the board. Anyone that needs a bike, you know, he's
played a really big part in making this program a success. With that I would like to bring
Dan up. And our second environmental excellence awardee for tonight is the Kleiner --
Kleiner Park Pollinator Project. Now, the -- the Kleiner Park Pollinator Project started
with the Meridian co-op gardeners, who had an existing food plot in Kleiner Park where
families are able to, you know, learn how to grow food. They grow a large amount of
food. A lot of that's donated to the food banks and, you know, they saw some leftover
land there and asked our Parks Department if they could use that for a pollinator garden
and, thankfully, they agreed and through a lot of efforts on their part they were able to
secure grant funding, work with Idaho Botanical Gardens, several other volunteer
groups and get the garden in the ground and since, then, there is actually another
pollinator garden that has gone in at Heroes Park. So, it's expanded beyond just
Kleiner Park and I really hope to see it keep expanding and I know with their leadership,
the Meridian co-op gardeners and now the Kleiner Park Pollinator Project, that we will
be able to see that and really having those pollinator gardens are -- are vitally important
for our ecosystem and having those plants available for those bees, insects, birds,
beetles, you know, all the things that really help our food and our landscape exist. So,
they are vitally important ecosystem functions and very thankful to have them in our
community. So, with that can I bring up Julie Bokenkamp to represent the Kleiner Park
Pollinator Project and everyone else, too? All right. I would like to thank everyone for
attending and supporting our winners and look forward to nominations for next year,
which are available on our website, nominate for the 2024 Environmental Excellence
Parts. Thank you.
Hoaglun: Thank you, Jason. If you can flip that around, too, real quick. Thank you.
Cavener: Mr. President?
Meridian City Council
April 18,2023

Hoaglun: Yes. Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: While Jason is flipping that around, maybe just a quick moment of privilege.
So, I love these awards, Jason. So thank you. And, you know, they often -- these
awards are a result of a big impact in our community and certainly both of these awards
did that here. But if I can't I just -- Dan, I just want to thank you for your service.
Eighteen hundred is a really really large number and I don't know about the 1 ,799, but I
know about one and there is a -- a very remarkable young man who is very close to our
family that your hard work and that bike made a huge difference in that young man's life
and in a time when he didn't feel like there was anybody thinking of him, you, a stranger,
repaired a bike that he, then, took over and I just -- from -- from one resident to another,
thank you for making a difference in that young man's life and thank you for all you do
for our community. It starts with one and you made a big impact on that young man's
life and so thanks very much. Thank you, Mr. President. Apologies.
Hoaglun: Thank you for those kind words, Councilman Cavener. We appreciate that
and -- and to -- the all the award recipients, fantastic job. Glad you are in our
community. This is what makes Meridian so great and we look forward to seeing who
the recipients are next year. Thank you, Jason.
PUBLIC FORUM — Future Meeting Topics
Hoaglun: Next item under -- is public forum. Mr. Clerk, do we have anybody signed up
for the public forum?
Johnson: Mr. President, we did not.
ACTION ITEMS
3. Public Hearing Regarding Investment of Community Development
Block Grant Funds
Hoaglun: Okay. Moving forward we have a public hearing regarding investment of
Community Development Block Grant funds. So, Crystal, turn it over to you.
Campbell: Thank you. As you said that I'm Crystal Campbell, I'm with the Meridian
CDBG program, and this is the final step of our planning public hearing. We did receive
a few -- a few comments, so I wanted to give you a quick presentation with that update
and just a reminder that this -- the purpose of this was to gather feedback from the
community on partnerships for public service funding. So, we have had a few
presentations. The public hearing was open on April 4th at our Council meeting. I also
presented at the Meridian Gathering and Resource Center on April 8th and, then, we
have this final presentation tonight. Throughout the process, then, we have been
accepting comments through phone calls, e-mails, however people wanted to provide
those. We didn't actually receive any, but we did also put out a questionnaire and we
received responses from 18 residents on that questionnaire. So, since we didn't receive
Meridian City Council
April 18,2023
Page 6 of
any other comments, the next several slides are summaries of what we did receive on
the questionnaire. The questions on -- that were contained in the questionnaire, they
were based on the services that are available and, then, we also left a space for people
to fill in other services that they might have accessed. So, the services that people
have accessed that responded to this were childcare assistance, domestic violence
services, emergency rental assistance, food access, legal services and utility
assistance. For the most part the level of ease was not too difficult to access. There
were a few that they did list as difficult. That was childcare assistance, legal services
and utility assistance and for the most part that was related to either eligibility
requirements that are typically set at the federal level or the lack of knowledge in the
community on what's available. We received these six comments and the full
comments will be included in our action plan this summer, but a brief summary of what
we received was that financial eligibility is a barrier to accessing services. Meridian
should support the homeless programs operated in Boise, since that's where residents
are accessing those services. There was also a comment that COVID funding is
temporary and will leave a gap and there was some frustration with the assumption that
nothing will come of this questionnaire. There was also a request for assistance with
housing affordable to seniors to be addressed, because it's desperately needed and
that the people need more information on accessing services in the community. So, we
did receive some suggested partnerships, which was what we were looking for, and it
was good to see that the majority of the services people were asking for are current
contacts. They are people we have already e-mailed the application to, so that would
be services for things like emergency rental assistance, childcare scholarships,
homeless services, healthcare, utility assistance and food banks. But there was a
request for legal services and so we are doing some more targeted outreach for
potential partners that we can work with on legal services and while we are sending the
application to them, there is only so much we can do if they don't apply. So, that's the
most that we can do with that. There were also three ineligible projects that we,
unfortunately, are not able to address with our CDBG funding. Those were landscape
maintenance, property tax reduction and grocery credits. So, they are great
suggestions that would help the population, but, unfortunately, we can't do anything with
that. So, that, -- again, the purpose of this was to try to find partners that we could
reach out to to apply for the public service grant and we will use that information to
inform our action plan and there will be a -- an opportunity this summer for people to
provide further comments on that action plan when it's closer to being completed. And
with that I will stand for questions.
Hoaglun: Thank you, Crystal. Any questions for Ms. Campbell?
Borton: Mr. President?
Hoaglun: Councilman Borton.
Borton: Crystal, on the additional outreach, did they provide any context or -- or
example of the reason for the request to reach into legal services as far as an unmet
need that they have tried to acquire here?
Meridian City Council
April 18,2023
Page 7 of
Campbell: No, they -- no, they did not. They just basically checked a box and said that
that was a need and that they had difficulty accessing it, but they didn't specify the type
of law that they were looking for or anything else.
Borton: Okay.
Hoaglun: Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: Yeah, thanks, Mr. President. Crystal, on the -- the ineligible projects -- at
least the -- the landscape maintenance project on its surface seems like it may be a
potential fit for a neighborhood grant. Have we done any type of follow up to encourage
them that, hey, this program doesn't maybe meet your needs, but there is another
program that maybe would or, if not, is that something you would be willing to do?
Campbell: I will have to double check and see if this person left me their contact
information, but that is a great suggestion, so I will follow up and see if I can find that who the person was, but I can also send out an update to the contact list -- I sent it to to provide responses to the comments that were received.
Cavener: Great. Thank you. Appreciate it.
Hoaglun: Council, any further questions? If not, Mr. Clerk, do we have anybody signed
up to testify?
Johnson: Mr. President, we do not.
Hoaglun: Okay. Is there anybody online who is -- would care to testify? And I don't see
anybody on the list that looks like they are willing to testify that are online, so --
Cavener: Mr. President?
Hoaglun: Yes, Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: If there isn't anyone here that wants to provide any public testimony, I move
that we close the public hearing regarding the investment of Community Development
Block Grant funds.
Perreault: Second.
Hoaglun: We have a motion and a second to close the public hearing regarding our
CDBG grant fund program. We will do a voice vote. So, all those in favor of closing the
public hearing, please, say aye. Any opposed? The ayes have it and the public hearing
is closed.
MOTION CARRIED: FIVE AYES . ONE ABSENT.

Borton: So, Mr. President?
Hoaglun: Councilman Borton.
Borton: Just a real quick comment on it. I think the comment that Crystal made about
the questionnaire might not be -- have a lot of weight with us or with you as an
administrator. I don't know if that's necessarily true. There might not be a lot of input,
but you do a great job of doing outreach to our community trying to gather information.
Really all we can do is make -- provide opportunities for people to participate and
provide input. If some choose not to or -- or a large volume don't, then, you know, that
tells us information as well. So, it is important to us when we receive that type of
feedback. So, you sharing it helps and I know you do everything you can to get people
opportunities to participate in this program and that's really all we can do. So, thank you
for that.
4. Public Hearing continued from March 14th for Alexanders Landing
Subdivision (H-2022-0084) by Kent Brown Planning Services, located
at the southeast corner of W. Pine St. and Black Cat Rd. Approved
A. Request: Annexation and Zoning of 5.2 acres of land from RUT in
Ada County to the R-8 zoning district.
B. Request: Preliminary Plat consisting of 24 building lots and 4
common lots.
Hoaglun: Thank you, Councilman Borton. All right. Moving forward. Next up is a
public hearing that's continued from March 14th, H-2022-0084, Alexander's Landing
Subdivision and, staff, go ahead and -- Stacy, you have a presentation.
Borton: Mr. President?
Hoaglun: Councilman Borton.
Borton: Just real quick. I was absent at the public hearing when this first was
presented, but have had an opportunity to review the materials and catch up and get up
to speed, so I feel comfortable participating with today's hearing.
Hoaglun: Thank you, Councilman Borton. Stacy.
Hersh: Good evening, City Council President and City Council Members. So, this
application was continued from the hearing from March 14th to April 18th, due to
requesting an ACHD representative to be present and additional transportation
information as it relates to the extension of West Pine Avenue. I will just go over a few
highlighted items to remind everybody about the project. It was requesting annexation,
zoning, and preliminary plat for 5.23 acres. It was a 24 lot subdivision, with four
common lots, for single family residential detached homes at a gross density of 4.59
Meridian City Council
April 18,2023
Page 9 of
units per acre. There is an existing home that is proposed on Lot 1, Block 2. Due to
access availability staff recommended that the development shall not commence until a
public road access is available to the site upon development of the Horse Meadows
Subdivision prior to submitting a final plat for approval. The applicant has met all of the
open space and amenity requirements. Commission did recommend approval of the
application. Key issues I can go over. From the Commission were timing of the
proposed development not commencing until a public road access is available to the
site upon development of the Horse Meadow Subdivision to the north and there was a
comment made of recommend -- or request that historical advisory committee work with
the city in preserving the Roosevelt Elementary School that was used in 1910 that was
located on the property to the west and staff has looked that up and that is designated
as residential and someone is living there owning it, so I don't know that that was the
property that they were referring to. There weren't any outstanding issues for Council.
There were the same written testimonies of the three individuals that had concerns with
traffic and would like to see a better transition with larger lot sizes and staff did some
research prior to the meeting and Foxcroft Subdivision has finished laying the bridge
across Ten Mile Creek and Fox -- Foxcroft Subdivision -- oops. Sorry. Is required to
construct the full extension of the West Pine Avenue with the first phase of that
development and the extension of Pine Avenue is scheduled to be finished by late
summer, fall of 2023. Horse Meadows Subdivision to the north of this submitted a time
extension on December 12th, 2022, to -- to obtain the city engineer's signature on the
final plat prior to January 12th, 2025. Staff has not received a final plat application for
Horse Meadows to anticipate when development will commence and also staff is still
requesting that Council strike the condition under A.3.0 pertaining to the landscape plan
submitted. Depict an open vision fence at least six feet in height around the Purdam
Drain Gulch per UDC 11-3A-6 and I have also pulled up the preliminary plat, so you can
see how the subdivision to the north is depending on this -- this one is depending on the
subdivision to the north to be developed and, then, here are the landscape plans and
some of the amenities that were provided for this site and you can see how the -- the
new road constructed going east-west and how the develop -- the property to the west
will develop in the future some type of concept for that and staff stands for any
questions that you may have.
Hoaglun: Thank you, Stacy. Any questions? Council Woman Perreault.
Perreault: Thank you. Stacy, did I correctly hear you that Pine will have some
additional improvements beyond installing the bridge and that it's anticipated to be open
late summer, early fall this year?
Hersh: Council President Hoaglun and Council Woman Perreault, yes, that is correct.
So, the Foxtrot -- Foxcroft Subdivision is supposed to develop to finish those
improvements.
Hoaglun: And we do have a representative of ACHD online. I'm sure will talk after the
applicant discusses some things and we can ask those questions, too, about some of
Meridian City Council
April 18,2023
Page 10 of
those things that -- issues that came up at the last meeting. So, would the applicant like
to come and present? Could you state your name and address for the record, please.
Bailey: Thank you. David Bailey. Bailey Engineering. 1119 East State Street in Eagle
is my office address. Representing the applicant. And I'm stepping in here to cover for
Kent Brown, who is the planner, and he is on his way back from Hawaii today, so he got
a nice vacation. I got back earlier from my vacation, so I ended up being selected to
come in here. From that perspective, though, I appreciate Stacy's presentation there,
you know, and I -- I think we got most of the things covered on this and there -- there is
some questions about the road. I am actually the engineer for the developer of the
Foxcroft Subdivision and the Ten Pines Subdivision and worked on Chesterfield and
worked on Coral Creek and on Castlebrook, all the way along here and on Somersby in
the northeast side. So, I have been watching Pine Street for an awful long time and we
did the engineering design on the -- on the Pine Street bridge last year, including all the
flood study work. That deck is actually in place now. The winter -- winter work is done.
So, we can't be held up by the irrigation season on that and their plan is -- I think they
are having a brief talk to Shawn Brownlee with Trilogy today and the pre --
preconstruction conference is tomorrow. That road is already -- the improvements at
the intersection are done and -- and the road is in in front of the -- of the -- of the Baron
project that's there. They are building there. And, then, that will continue and be paved
across. All the improvements are all the way down the street to the north boundary of
this project with the Chesterfield and -- and Castlebrook projects; right? So, those are
all in there. And we are in agreement with the -- and they said that -- that that should be
paved and ready to go. We are hoping to -- to -- to record that plat and have that all
done here this fall. So, by September of this year is our intent to have that road fully
open all the way -- all the way through there. The Horse Meadows Subdivision, the
developer did talk to that -- that developer on that and they have submitted a time
extension, because the -- the original developer had sold the project to someone else.
So, someone else is on that. They do intend to move forward on that and we do
understand the condition, you know, that we can't build here until we get public road
access. We certainly don't have frontage. We don't have a road. We don't have fire
access. We don't have anything that -- that can get us there. So, we don't have a
problem with that. I think Kent -- Kent mentioned to me -- and I don't think we are
opposed to the -- to the condition to do that. Like I said -- just said we are accepting
that, but the -- but the condition is written in such a way that it says that we can't submit
our construction drawings for approval -- or I'm not sure exactly how it's written -- that
we can't submit our construction drawing for approval, you know, prior to -- prior to them
actually building out that subdivision and I'm not sure that was the intent; right? So, we
wouldn't build anything and couldn't even get in there and -- and actually work on it until
that -- their plat is underway and under construction. And, then, of course, we wouldn't
be able to file the plat until that right of way is public in front of us. It's totally accepted,
you know. So, we wouldn't be building any homes in there prior to them. But we want
to make sure that we -- you know, that we just clarify in there that it says we could
submit our plans and be ready to go, you know, such that we could do that. So, I'm not
sure if that's a point of contention or -- or something, but I did want to bring it up and
Kent had asked me to mention that -- that in the presentation here. So, with that I would
Meridian City Council
April 18,2023
Page 11 of
be happy to stand for any questions you might have and I'm happy to hear that ACHD
did -- did get online today, so --
Hoaglun: Council, any questions for Mr. Bailey? Council Woman Perreault.
Perreault: Good to see you, Mr. Bailey. Question about the -- do you know your client's
plans for kind of where they will stage their -- their construction vehicles, apparatuses?
This is -- it sounds like you have spent some time out there. That intersection of Black
Cat and Pine is really busy and I'm just wondering, -- you know, you will have -- you will
have some concrete trucks and -- and other large tractors that are probably making
rights or lefts onto Pine and, then, they are going to immediately need to access the
property -- the Horse Meadows and your property to the south. Do you have -- is there
some coordination between the applicants in kind of how that's going to work, how they
stay off of Pine as much as possible? Any information along -- this is just a really
unique corner and I think it's going to be -- I think it could create some potential traffic
issues there.
Hoaglun: Mr. Bailey?
Bailey: So, Council President and Council Woman Perreault, I guess I don't have those
specific plans in place. One -- one of the things here that, you know, obviously, with the
construction of the Horse Meadows Subdivision they are going to do the -- there is an
asphalt widening on Black Cat and, then, all of the curb and gutter improvements and,
then, sidewalk both on Black Cat and there. So, as far as pedestrians they would have
to maintain that and in place. As far as we -- where we would actually stage equipment,
I mean it would be subject to the ACHD right of way permit, which they would need to
do that work; right? So, I think probably have a -- a greater concern during the
construction of -- of the Horse Meadows than you do during this project. I would
suspect that, since we are probably going to follow right on the tails of the Horse --
Horse Meadows that their property would be up for us staging our equipment for doing
the exact same thing. We are off the road quite a bit. And I -- I do know those are
pretty well controlled by the Ada County Highway District. It looked to me like the plans
for actually improving Black Cat to five lanes looked like, you know, 2030. On that
number -- I spent some time on that committee as well with the Ada County Highway
District in the long range, you know, planning on stuff and I'm not sure -- quite sure why
that's out there, but those can change, you know, as they go along on that -- that end of
it. So, the -- the Black Cat -- and, obviously, we got more projects to the south and up
to the north on here that are -- that are going to impact that. I don't think this project
necessarily impacts any of that and I don't think the construction should be a problem
considering ACHD right of way permit, you know, restrictions, so --
Hoaglun: And, Mr. Bailey, for your information in our last go around for our priority list
for streets and bridges and whatnot for our community that we sent to ACHD, the -- the
Black Cat portion was moved up to the top 20.
Bailey: Oh, great.
Meridian City Council
April 18,2023
Page 12 of
Hoaglun: So, more of a priority for -- for our community as well, so --
Bailey: Great.
Hoaglun: Yeah. Council, any other questions for the applicant?
Borton: Mr. President?
Hoaglun: Councilman Borton.
Borton: Dave, just to your comment, you making sure we are on the same page as far
as the conditions of approval that you were referencing at the tail end of your
comments. Stacy, was there any -- do we -- do we have any -- feel like we have any
disconnect in their proposed conditions that you were referencing as far as submission
-- submittal of construction drawings being permitted -- permissible?
Hersh: Council President Hoaglun and Councilman Borton, so you are wanting to
submit the land development records for the roadways you are asking or the final plat?
Bailey: So, we -- we would want to submit the application -- the -- the final plat
application to the city, which includes the construction drawings on it and, then, we
wouldn't be able to submit the final plat to the city engineer for signature until that public
right of way.
Hersh: So, you are asking to be able to submit the final plat for approval, but not the
final plat mylar?
Bailey: Yes.
Hersh: So, I know Kent had mentioned -- because I know that there is some work that
can be done once you submit the final plat and post a surety and you can get things
done through different phases, but we wouldn't allow that. We could probably change
the language on this just to say that your -- change the condition to read that you are
able to submit the final plat for approval, but -- but not -- you -- you should not
commence development until a public road access is available.
Bailey: Yeah. It depends on what -- what -- I guess it depends on what development
means. Improvements to the site can constitute the development or is it actually pulling
a building permit? We can't get the plat recorded --
Hersh: Well, site improvements are what needs to happen first.
Bailey: Right.
Hersh: Water. Sewer. Roadway.
Meridian City Council
April 18,2023
Page 13 of
Bailey: And the only disconnect is -- is that, you know, from the time we submit the
construction drawings and the final plat to the city and, then, your process has us take
the -- the -- the plat actually goes to the City Council before the staff will even review the
construction drawings and now we have got a four month wait with Highway -- Ada
County Highway District and a several month wait at least with the city to review the
construction drawings. So, if we waited until their plat's recorded, for example, to do
that, now we are six months out before we can even start and normally we can submit
the construction drawings for approval, you know, at any time during the process, but
we can't get a pre-construction conference to start construction until we have public
road access to that that meets the Fire Department requirements and everybody else's.
Hersh: And, then, the final plat goes on consent agenda. So, I'm not sure if staff is
comfortable with that for this project. Kent was talking about proposing an easement
dedication with ACHD or some sort of thing to replace this the last time we were here
and we were amenable to that. I know the -- the language needs to change.
Bailey: And -- and so we can work on the wording of that. I -- I'm just maybe --
maybe --
Hersh: We are open to that. It just needs to be whether it needs to be an easement
through dedication of roadway for ACHD for Quarter Horse Lane for the property owner
that's fronting there or however. That was his proposal last time.
Bailey: It seems to me that for the protection of the city and the residents that we don't
get the -- we don't get anything until we get the plat recorded and our plat cannot record
prior to Horse Meadows recording their plat and so what happens on the site as far as
construction prior to them recording that plat is the developer building things on the site
to his expense at no value to him, unless Horse Meadows records their plat. So, it
should be -- it seems to me that normally what we see is a condition such that we can't
record our plat until they record their plat and so to -- to hold that up we usually hold up
the city engineer's signature on the plat.
Hersh: That's amenable.
Bailey: You can support that?
Hersh: Yes.
Bailey: Okay.
Borton: Mr. President?
Hoaglun: Councilman Borton.
Meridian City Council
April 18,2023
Page 14 of
Borton: Good work. Thank you. Getting that sorted out. And if I understand that
correctly, the public road would be in on that project to the north as part of that final plat.
Or, no, it wouldn't be installed --
Bailey: Yeah. Before they record their final plat that would have to be all constructed.
Borton: Okay. Good. Thanks.
Hoaglun: Yeah. Councilman Borton, I went back to the minutes, because I know I had
read that that -- that Kent was worried about having to wait four months without being
able to do that and missing the window for doing other development -- site development
and those types of things. So, I think we were on the same page, it's just how do we
word that, how do we get there and those types of things, so -- yeah. Anything -- any
other questions for the applicant at this time? Council Woman Perreault.
Perreault: Thank you. Did -- did we resolve the -- did we resolve staff's
recommendation to move the temporary turnaround into Lots 5 through 7, instead of
where it currently exists? Was that -- that was a recommendation made in the staff
report and I want to make sure that it's on record what -- what the applicant's thoughts
are on that. If staff would like to comment on that as well that would be fine.
Hersh: Council President Hoaglun, Council Woman Perreault, so we did discuss that
and we have the developer set aside funds for remediation of the temporary turnaround
in a form of a surety. That will hold for the HOA and, then, once development continues
to the west and that's no longer needed, then, the money will be taken care of to -- to
replace that with landscaping.
Bailey: And we are in agreement with.
Hoaglun: Thank you, Stacy. I guess no further questions for now, we will have Christy
Inselman come on. I think there were some issues -- questions for ACHD. Christy, if
you can unmute and we would recognize you for -- for comments if you have any or
would you like to take questions? Am I supposed to do something, Mr. Clerk?
Johnson: Mr. President, no. Christie's unmuted. I'm just not sure -- if she can hear us.
It doesn't look like she -- there she is.
Hoaglun: Hi, Christy. Can you hear us? Because we can't hear you if you are
speaking.
Johnson: And, Mr. President, the microphone signal is not moving, so it doesn't look
like there is any speaking happening.
Hoaglun: We will -- we will just move forward and -- and when we get Christy hooked
up -- is there anybody else who has signed up to testify?
Meridian City Council
April 18,2023
Page 15 of
Inselman: Okay. Can you guys hear me now?
Hoaglun: Oh. Yes. Christy, you are back.
Inselman: Okay.
Hoaglun: Great.
Inselman: I got promoted to panelists and, then, I could -- then you could hear me.
Hoaglun: Yep. That works.
Inselman: All right. I am happy to take questions. I think staff did a great job of giving
an update on the timing for the construction of Pine and that was a question, but I'm --
I'm happy to answer any additional questions that the Council may have on this project.
Hoaglun: Council, any questions forACHD? Council Woman Perreault.
Perreault: Thank you, Christy, for being here. My question is currently Pine Avenue is
not striped and there is not bike lanes and eyeballing it it doesn't look like it is a width
that would accommodate bike lanes and -- you know, lanes in both directions. Just --
just wanted to get some more information on how that will be improved once the
connection -- or before the connection comes through in September.
Inselman: Thank you, Mr. President, Council Woman Perreault. I actually have a handy
dandy measure tool on here to see. It looks like we have 34 feet of right of way. Well,
that's basically -- the pavement width is about 34, 35 feet and depending on whether
parking is allowed or not that would be an adequate width for dedicated bike lanes if
that's the plan for this in the future, which I can also look up if you would like.
Hoaglun: Council Woman Perreault.
Perreault: Thank you, Mr. President. I'm sorry, I -- I only heard a portion of what you
had mentioned. I heard that the -- the width is appropriate for bike lanes. Did -- did you
mention what was going to happen with the striping?
Inselman: On the striping maybe in future projects -- I apologize I didn't hear that as a
question prior, so I was not prepared. Let me get to that area and pull the adequate
maps up. Okay. So, Pine --
Johnson: Mr. President? Christy, if you can hear me you are able to share your screen
if you would like to and if you need to.
Inselman: Okay. Let me -- sorry. I'm working on my laptop, so it's never as -- as big as
the nice two screens I have when I'm in the office. So, I can share with you a -- a map
of -- so, the -- the map that's available on your screen -- this is a representation of our
Meridian City Council
April 18,2023
Page 16 of
low stress bikeway network. As you can see Pine Street is identified as a future low
stress bike -- bike network. It doesn't go all the way to Linder, but it does -- the -- the
remainder would be here. Sorry. Too many layers on my computer. Yeah. I actually
get all the way over to Black Cat. So, from that point it's just a -- it's a Level 2 facility
where we would anticipate either -- if we have enough availability and there is no
parking we would have room to do bike lanes. Otherwise we would do sharrows, like a
shared facility, and signage. But that's a future -- that's a future treatment that we would
do once the roadway is -- is through. I hope that makes sense as I'm throwing random
maps up on the screen for you.
Perreault: Council President?
Hoaglun: Council Woman Perreault.
Perreault: Thank you. Yes. Thank you very much. I was asking -- obviously, there is
several schools in that area and, then, you have access to Fuller Park from that
neighborhood and so just -- just wanted to make sure that was an option. There is two
-- two or three bus stops along Pine there. I lived in the neighborhood there in
Chesterfield for 12 years and saw a lot of really bad driving behavior and -- and
speeding, crossing over, and so the -- that's the reason I was asking about the striping
for the safety of the -- it -- it just kind of acts right -- right now like a -- as if it was a
subdivision street, even though it's not, it's a collector, so the residents treat it as if it's
their own street as part of their subdivision, instead of, you know, for public use, so --
Inselman: Right.
Perreault: -- I just wanted to kind of see how that was going to develop now that it was
going to be connected to Ten Mile and there is an anticipation that traffic will increase.
Inselman: Yeah. We -- we treat these -- we look at each corridor individually, but we
have a lot of treatment options that we can look at for bike facilities themselves. So,
there is vertical elements we can look at dependent on volumes, speed limit along the
corridor, but generally with something like this we would want to wait until the
connections are done, get an idea of what the traffic is going to start doing once it's
competed and, then, we would add that to our list to evaluate for treatment. Sometimes
it's just a painted buffer -- there is -- there is multiple options we can do.
Cavener: Mr. President?
Hoaglun: Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: Christy, can you give Council a little flavor for what your -- the highway
district's engagement is with -- with the railroad? You know, we -- we touched on this a
little this last week. I have got some real concerns about the stop sign at the railway
and believe -- I know that you guys are waiting until 2030 to potentially expand Black
Cat. That -- that stop sign at the railway is -- is a huge bottleneck and maybe giving
Meridian City Council
April 18,2023
Page 17 of
Council a flavor for what the highway district can do or would do to maybe get that
moved from a stop sign to engaging with the railroad about a -- about a crossing.
Hoaglun: Christy, go ahead.
Inselman: Mr. President, I couldn't see -- I think that was -- I'm not sure who was
speaking. It didn't come up on my screen.
Hoaglun: Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: Don't worry about it, Christy.
Inselman: Cavener. Councilman Cavener. Thank you so much. We -- when we do
roadway projects we always engage with them. If -- if we hear that there -- we -- we are
currently working with the railroad and a couple other locations where there is an
existing stop sign with the railroads to see what other treatments we can do, so that it
doesn't create some bottlenecks. I'm happy to talk to our traffic department about the
stop sign at Black Cat and since they are already engaged currently with the railroad
and see if there is something that potentially could be done otherwise there. The
roadway itself we don't currently have it in the integrated five year work plan, but, Mr.
Hoaglun, as you -- or Councilman Hoaglun, as you spoke earlier, that did go up
significantly in the City of Meridian's prioritization request. Last year it was 62 -- or the
last submission was 62. Now it's in the top 20 and it's your number two on
programmed. So, that will definitely lend to us looking at getting this particular project
programmed with this next update.
Cavener: Great. Thanks, Christy. Appreciate you being here.
Inselman: Absolutely.
Hoaglun: Any other questions for Christy at this time, Council? If not -- yes. Thank
you, Christy. We didn't have anybody signed up to testify. Would the applicant like to
come forward for any closing comments?
Bailey: Thank you, Mr. President, Council Members. David Bailey again. I don't have
any rebuttal of anything. I appreciate that the ACHD came and -- and got some
answers on that stuff and I -- I think we have -- we have resolved most of the issues on
this. This is kind of the last -- almost the last thing on -- on this stretch of road and --
and, like I said earlier, working on getting all these pieces, put together over the years it
seems really neat for Meridian to -- to get here. My first office was in Meridian at Pine
and Linder, just to the east of the high school in the 1993, so -- so, been -- been in this
area for a while. So, I think this is going to be a neat area and -- and this -- this is great.
It's right with your Comprehensive Plan and we would ask for your approval tonight of
this -- this project.
Meridian City Council
April 18,2023
Page 18 of
Hoaglun: All right. Thank you, Mr. Bailey. Any last questions for the applicant? All
right. Thank you.
Bailey: Thank you.
Hoaglun: Council, what is your pleasure on this project?
Borton: Mr. President?
Hoaglun: Councilman Borton.
Borton: I think that, you know, good work's been done on this, that from it being
consistent with the comp plan, what's intended as far as intensity and type of use at this
location. It's a relatively small, somewhat in-fill type project that has a couple of wrinkles
that have been worked out over the -- the couple of public hearings that we have had
and -- and P&Z's recommendation of approval I think makes sense as well. So, in light
of the clarification that's been provided with the conditions at today's hearing, I'm
supportive of the application as presented.
Hoaglun: We have a motion for approval. Is there a second?
Johnson: Mr. President, do you want to close the public hearing?
Hoaglun: Oh, yes. Thank you, Mr. Clerk. Let's have a motion to close the public
hearing. Is that what you said, Councilman?
Borton: I was just ruminating on some initial thoughts, but I can do that. Mr. President, I
move we close the public hearing on H-2022-0084.
Perreault: Second.
Hoaglun: We have a motion and a second close the public hearing. All those in favor
signify by saying. Any opposed? We closed the public hearings.
MOTION CARRIED: FIVE AYES. ONE ABSENT.
Hoaglun: Councilman Borton. Or rumination, please.
Hoaglun: That was it. Those are my ruminations. So, I will pause a moment and see if
any other Council Members have --
Cavener: Mr. -- Mr. President?
Hoaglun: Councilman Cavener.
Meridian City Council
April 18,2023
Page 19 of
Cavener: To be filed under -- under rumination. I -- I'm struggling with -- with this
project. I -- I agree a lot with Council Member Borton's comments. This is a small
project, falls within the Comprehensive Plan. Staff and applicant have I think worked
this project out to make it successful. I -- I feel that I'm supportive today, but I have
some real concerns about what the traffic impacts on Blackhead are going to be once
Pine is completed. You know, we have got a roadway at Black Cat that's -- that's better
than D and looks like can accommodate, you know, some more -- some more vehicles.
This -- this is not the first time we have talked about Black Cat and -- and my concerns
about development that's occurring over there and the impact on Black Cat and this
project is certainly not straw that going to break the camel's back, but I do think that we
as a body need to be exerting some caution and some patience on future applications
that come through on Black Cat until we have a better sense as to what and if the
roadway improvements are going to be accelerated past 2030. 1 think we have got a
couple of things that are going to all come together at the same time. A handful of
housing projects that are moving forth in that area, coupled with Pine's expansion, we
really have the potential for a recipe of disaster and so I think I can be supportive
tonight, but I -- and this is also just -- I think good feedback for staff as you were hearing
from people coming in with pre-apps, I am a Council Member that is going to be really
reluctant on future residential applications that impact Black Cat. So, just, again, filing
under rumination, outward discussion, I am struggling with this particular project for
those reasons.
Nary: Mr. President?
Hoaglun: Thank you, Councilman Cavener.
Nary: Mr. President?
Hoaglun: Yes.
Nary: Mr. President, Members of the Council, I just wanted to let you know after the
discussion both on this project, as well as Newkirk, I did reach out to Miranda in
Planning, since she is our school contact person, and so she has reached out to
Compass Charter School to kind of talk about these issues you are concerned with.
Hasn't had a response back, so she's going to go be more diligent and actually go there
to find a contact person and be able to sort of get in front of these issues now versus
later, so -- so, she is working on it, so --
Cavener: Thank you, Bill. I appreciate that.
Hoaglun: Thank you, Mr. Nary. And -- and that is one of the issues. Black Cat.
Compass Charter is -- there is times a day -- before school and after school -- there is
no turn lane on Black Cat going into or coming out of that school. I -- it's -- it just
boggles my mind that -- how that happened and how it came about without having such
a significant road issue and -- and that's why -- you know. And I -- I understand ACHD
wants to do full miles, but at the same time they have got the full intersection improved
Meridian City Council
April 18,2023
Page 20 of
at Franklin and Black Cat and they have got the right-of-way and those houses on the
east side to come up -- at least complete a turn lane in the interim. Makes -- makes
sense. It just -- but there are times a day I know that I will not go down that road,
because it's going to be a major mess, as -- as Councilman Perreault knows all too well
I'm sure from her time there, so -- but anyway. So, that is something that -- and it will be
interesting to see the dynamics with Pine once that opens. I think there will be a lot
more people headed to Ten Mile, instead of trying to make their way out to Black Cat
because of that, but -- and, of course, our Meridian Police Department can always be
strong on enforceable if there are problems that -- that come up on -- on Pine with --
with a few people who don't think speed limits apply to them, so --
Perreault: Mr. President?
Hoaglun: Council Woman Perreault.
Perreault: Yeah. That's why I have been -- I have been so noisy about this area. When
I was in -- Compass was approved when I was on Planning and Zoning and I was just
as noisy then with the same questions about the turn lanes. But I have the same -- I
share the same concern as Councilman Cavener. I don't think this application is going
to tip -- you know tip this over, so I agree in that regard. But when we -- when we
discussed this with Horse Meadows, the response was, oh, well, you know, likely now
most folks from these surrounding neighborhoods are going to -- are going to head east
on Pine and -- and they are going to get to Ten Mile and I don't disagree with that.
However, Pine connects to El Gato, which is in the county, and El Gato connects to
McDermott, which is going to be one of the main accesses for Highway 16 and so I do
think we are going to have a lot of traffic heading west that -- that maybe we would not
have otherwise expected. So, I don't know -- El Gato is going to connect at 16 -- or at
McDermott and I don't know from there where -- whether folks can take McDermott and
get an access to Highway 16 or not. They won't be able to?
Hoaglun: Yeah. Council Woman Perreault, it's my understanding there are only certain
segments of Ustick -- not McMillan, but Ustick, I believe -- and -- and, Christy, you will
probably have better insight into this, the connections into Highway 16 are going to be
Ustick, Franklin -- and were those only two? What were they doing with Cherry? I don't
think Cherry was included in that.
Inselman: Mr. President, I don't believe there was a direct connection to 16 from
Cherry, no.
Perreault: Mr. President?
Hoaglun: Council Woman Perreault.
Perreault: So, a driver wouldn't head west to McDermott and, then, take a left and go
south to Franklin to access 16?
Meridian City Council
April 18,2023
Page 21 of
Hoaglun: They would have to -- yes, Council Woman Perreault, they would have to turn
left and head to Franklin to get on to Highway 16. There is no direct connection from from Pine or El Gato.
Perreault: But El Gato connects to McDermott. It does. So, they would -- they would they could take El Gato to get to McDermott and get onto 16.
Inselman: And -- and, Mr. President, Commission, Commission Woman Perreault, they
-- they are --just so you know. Sorry. I am doing five things at the same time. The -- or
sorry. Mcdermott is going to be realigned. We are actually pulled back from its current
location and, then, they will be able to turn and make that -- that connection. Just so
you are aware it's not -- it won't stay in the existing location that it's at, it's actually going
to be pulled east and realigned.
Hoaglun: Yes. There is -- I have seen that -- to Christy's point, I have seen the ITD
map and, then, they pull that over where the highway goes and it's basically a frontage
type of road. Hard to explain. I haven't looked at it for a while, but it -- it does get pulled
back. But there are access points, then, you can go to Ustick -- or -- or Cherry and --
and down and they have those connections. But it is a something that, you know, we
are paying attention to, especially from the fire department for access purposes,
because there is going to be limited access from the highway -- new highway, but how
to -- how to maneuver within that, so --
Overton: Mr. President?
Hoaglun: Yes, Councilman Overton.
Overton: So far the comments have been fantastic. I agree with Councilman Borton
and Councilman Cavener on specifically two points. I can -- I'm concerned about this
geographical area. I'm not concerned about this application. I think this application is a
good application. It's a small in-fill that's going to -- you know, it's going to fall behind
the -- the one to the north of it as it comes on. I think you are going to have the
connection at Pine happen and I was trying to summon my crystal ball and figure out
where that traffic's all going to go. I would like to think that most of it's going to go east
on Pine, head to Ten Mile to access the interstate, But potentially I have watched when
Locust Grove overpass went in the rule of the land is if you build it they will find the
quickest way to get to where they want to go, no matter what we think, and only time will
tell as these get developed and built where those new roadway demands are going to
be and how best we adjust our next year's priorities to make sure that we are keeping
up with where that demand is. But for the purposes of the project tonight, I'm -- I'm
supportive of that project.
Borton: Mr. President?
Hoaglun: Councilman Borton. yes.
Meridian City Council
April 18,2023
Page 22 of
Borton: I move that we approve H-2022-0084, consistent with the -- the staff report as
presented dated April 18th, 2023.
Overton: Second.
Hoaglun: I have a motion and a second for approval. Question for staff. Do we need to
strike condition A.3.0 and do we need to keep the Purdam Drain open -- and make that
as part of the condition to keep it open or is that in the staff report?
Hersh: Mr. President, yes, I need you to state that you would like that condition strike --
or struck.
Hoaglun: Struck. Okay.
Borton: Mr. President?
Hoaglun: Councilman Borton.
Borton: The motion so includes those provisions. It also includes any clarification
articulated by staff and the applicant with regards to the conditions presented at
tonight's hearing as well.
Hoaglun: Okay. Does the second agree?
Overton: Yes.
Hoaglun: Second agrees. Okay. We have a motion before us for approval with the --
with the conditions. Mr. Clerk, would you, please, call the roll.
Roll Call: Hoaglun, yea; Borton, yea; Cavener, yea; Perreault, yea; Strader, absent;
Overton, yea.
Hoaglun: All ayes. Motion carries.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM TOPIC: Meridian High School Wrestling State Championship Proclamation
E IDIAN
IQAHO
The Office of the Mayor
PROCLAMATION
Whereas, being a Meridian High School wrestler is more than scoring points, escapes,
takedowns, pins and achieving state titles. It is training to build leadership, character,
confidence, teamwork and resilience—all traits needed to succeed on the mat, in the
classroom and in the real world; and,
Whereas, the hard work and dedication of the Meridian Wresting team and coaches has resulted
in a threepeat to become the 2023 State Wrestling Champions; and,
Whereas, their tenacity racked up 280.5 team points to once again bring the trophy home to
Meridian; and,
Whereas, the Meridian Warriors have continued to conquer the competition and become the
dominant squad in the 5A ranks; and,
Whereas, the leadership, training and discipline of their coaches helped all team members to
focus their talents, passion, and determination to become a dynasty, with each player
making valuable contributions to their victory.
Therefore, I Mayor Robert E. Simison, hereby proclaim April 18t'', 2023 as
Neri&an 3 Wh SchooC WrestCing
State Cha i mpons Day
in the City of Meridian and call upon the community to join me in congratulating the Meridian High
Warriors on their remarkable athletic achievement and for representing Meridian so proudly in the
state tournament.

problem is in Meridian, but the unhoused residents are forced to move to Boise to obtain real services to get back on their feet. If Meridian is going to force its residents to get
their services in Boise, then Meridian should provide more financial support to the Boise resources, like Our Path Home or CATCH.
Was there anything that made it easier for you to be able to access the services?Are there any service providers you think the City should reach out to? Please provide the name of the

Item #3: Alexanders Landing Subdivision (H-2022-0084)
Application(s):
Annexation and Zoning
Preliminary Plat
Size of property, existing zoning, and location: This site consists of 5.2 acres of land, zoned RUT, located near the Southeast
corner of W. Pine Avenue and Black Cat Road.
History: None
Comprehensive Plan FLUM Designation: Medium Density Residential (MDR)
Summary of Request: The subject 5.23 acres currently contains an existing home. The subject site is abutting an R-8 development to
the north, Horse Meadows Subdivision; to the east and west is county residential not yet annexed into the City of Meridian; and to the
south is the railroad and Purdam Gulch Drain. The subject property is designated as Medium Density Residential on the future land
use map consistent with the approved development to the north. The Applicant proposes a 24-lot subdivision and 4 common lots for
single-family residential detached homes at a gross density of 4.59 units per acre, which is within the desired density range of the MDR
designation.
An existing home on the property is proposed to remain on Lot 1, Block 2. The outbuilding located on Lot 3, Block 2 shall be removed
with development of this property. The existing home does not meet the required number of off-street parking spaces per UDC-3C-6
for a three (3) bedroom home; four (4) parking spaces are required, at least 2 in an enclosed garage, other spaces may be enclosed or
a minimum 10-foot by 20-foot parking pad. The existing home does not comprise of an enclosed garage. Staff recommends that the
non-conformity of the home be remedied to meet the off-street parking regulations prior to the City Engineer’s signature on the final plat
Access: Access is proposed from Quarterhorse Lane from the north; direct access to N. Black Cat Road and W. Pine Avenue is
prohibited. The subject property is dependent upon the development of Horse Meadows Subdivision directly to the north to reconstruct
a portion of Quarterhorse Lane (existing private road) as a public street, which would provide public street frontage and access to this
site.
Due to access availability, development should not commence until a public road access is available to the site upon development of
the Horse Meadows Subdivision prior to submitting a final plat for approval.
A local stub street (W. Newland Drive) is proposed for interconnectivity between two developments that is stubbed at the east/west
boundary on the site in accord with the UDC. The street does exceed 150 feet; therefore, a temporary turnaround is required. The
Applicant is proposing to construct a temporary turnaround on a common lot (Lot 10, Block 1), which decreases the usability of the
area. Staff recommends that the Applicant construct the temporary turnaround on Lots 5 and 7, Block 3 in the southwest corner of the
development to increase the open space for development. The reason for this recommendation is to ensure open space for the
development remains intact without placing a burden on the HOA to remediate the removal of the turnaround area. The Applicant
included a concept plan for the property to the west that demonstrates how the western R1 property could potentially develop in the
future.
Landscape Buffers: No street buffers are required per UDC Table 11-2A-6 for internal local streets. Common open space landscaping
is proposed as shown on the landscape plan.
Open Space and Amenities: A minimum of 15% (or 1.23 acres based on 5.23 acres) qualified open space is required to be provided
in this development per the standards listed in UDC 11-3G-3. An open space exhibit was submitted that depicts 1.29 acres of common
open space for the development with 0.78 acres of this area as qualified open space. The minimum amount of qualified open space
required is 0.78 acres, approximately 34,194 square feet. A 10-foot wide pathway is required per the Master Pathways Plan in lieu of
the proposed 6-foot pathway running along the southern border.
The project size of 5.23 acres requires a minimum of one (1) amenity point (1 point for every 5 acres). According to the submitted
plans, the Applicant is proposing the following amenities worth 3 amenity points: a picnic shelter w/tables (2), and pathway (1),

V. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANALYSIS
LAND USE: This property is designated as Medium Density Residential(MDR) on the Future Land Use Map
(FLUM)contained in the Comprehensive Plan. This designation allows for dwelling units at gross densities
of 3 to 8 dwelling units per acre.
The subject 5.23 acres currently contains an existing home. The subject site is abutting an R-8 development
to the north,Horse Meadows Subdivision;to the east and west is county residential not yet annexed into the
City of Meridian; and to the south is the railroad and Purdam Gulch Drain. The subject property is
designated as Medium Density Residential on the future land use map consistent with the approved
development to the north. The Applicant proposes a 24-lot subdivision for single-family residential detached
homes at a gross density of 4.59 units per acre,which is within the desired density range of the MDR
designation.
Goals,Objectives, &Action Items: Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable
to this application and apply to the proposed use of this property(staff analysis in italics):
• "Encourage a variety of housing types that meet the needs, preferences, and financial capabilities of
Meridian's present and future residents."(2.01.02D)
The proposed single-family detached dwellings with a mix of lot sizes will contribute to the variety of
housing options in this area and within the City as desired. Single-family detached homes are in the
development process to the north and south of railroad tracks are an existing and planned Medium
High-Density Residential development consisting of attached, townhouse , and, and multifamily
dwellings.
Page 4
• "Permit new development only where it can be adequately served by critical public facilities and
urban services at the time of final approval, and in accord with any adopted levels of service for
public facilities and services."(3.03.03F)
City water and sewer service is available and can be extended by the developer with development in
accord with UDC 11-3A-21.
• "Avoid the concentration of any one housing type or lot size in any geographical area;provide for
diverse housing types throughout the City."(2.01.01G)
This area consists primarily of single family detached homes with some multi family apartments to
be developed to the southeast; only single-family detached homes are proposed within this
development. The proposed development offers lot sizes ranging from 4,010 to 5,258 square feet
(sf.) with the existing home on a 21,852 sf. lot.
• "Require all new development to create a site design compatible with surrounding uses through
buffering, screening,transitional densities,and other best site design practices."(3.07.01A)
The proposed medium-density residential single-family homes contribute to the variety of residential
categories within the surrounding area as desired.
• "Encourage compatible uses and site design to minimize conflicts and maximize use of land."
(3.07.00)
The proposed site design provides maximum use of the land with the proposed residential dwelling
types and should be compatible with planned development on adjacent properties that are also
designated for MDR uses. The project does abut three(3) existing multiple-acre County residential
properties to the east, west, and north. Until these properties are redeveloped, development could
impact the County residences.
• "Support infill development that does not negatively impact the abutting, existing development.
Infill projects in downtown should develop at higher densities,irrespective of existing
development."(2.02.02C)
The proposed development will not likely impact the abutting development to the north existing
homeowners in the county to the east and the existing homeowners south of the railroad tracks.
• "Ensure development is connected to City of Meridian water and sanitary sewer systems and the
extension to and through said developments are constructed in conformance with the City of
Meridian Water and Sewer System Master Plans in effect at the time of development."(3.03.03A)
The proposed development will connect to City water and sewer systems with development of the
subdivision;services are required to be provided to and through this development in accord with
current City plans.
• "Require pedestrian access in all new development to link subdivisions together and promote
neighborhood connectivity."(2.02.01D)
A 10 foot wide multi-use pathway connection is required and a 6-foot wide multi-use pathway is
proposed along the south boundary adjacent to the railroad tracks. The Applicant shall provide a
10 foot wide multi-use pathway in accord with the Pathways Master Plan. This pathway will provide
a link between all subdivisions east off. Black Cat Road and west of this site.
• "Require urban infrastructure be provided for all new developments, including curb and gutter,
sidewalks,water and sewer utilities."(3.03.03G)
Urban sewer and water infrastructure and curb, gutter, and sidewalks are required to be provided
with development of the subdivision.
Page 5
• "Eliminate existing private treatment and septic systems on properties annexed into the City and
instead connect users to the City wastewater system; discourage the prolonged use of private
treatment septic systems for enclave properties."
If annexed, the existing home will be required to abandon the existing septic system and connect to
the City wastewater system.
• "Maximize public services by prioritizing infill development of vacant and underdeveloped parcels
within the City over parcels on the fringe."(2.02.02)
Development of the subject infill parcel will maximize public services.
Based on the analysis above, staff finds the proposed development is consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan.
VI. STAFF ANALYSIS
A. ANNEXATION(AZ)
The Applicant proposes to annex 5.23 acres of land with an R-8 zoning district. A legal description and
exhibit map for the annexation area is included in Section VIII.A. This property is within the City's Area
of City Impact boundary. The annexation legal description submitted does not include to the
centerline of the railroad tracks. The Applicant should submit a revised legal description of the
property proposed to be annexed that encompasses the area to the centerline of the railroad tracks
15 days prior to the City Council Hearing.
A preliminary plat and conceptual building elevations were submitted showing how the property is
proposed to be subdivided and developed with 24 single-family residential detached dwelling units at a
gross density of 4.59 units per acre(see Sections VIII.B, E). The proposed use and density of the
development is consistent with the MDR FLUM designation.
Single-family detached dwellings are listed as a principal permitted use in the R-8 zoning district per
UDC Table 11-2A-2. Future development is subject to the dimensional standards listed in UDC Table
11-2A-6 for the R-8 zoning district.
There is an existing home on approximately half an acre to the northeast along W. Quarter Horse Lane.
The property owner intends to annex and connect to City utilities with this development.
The property is contiguous to City annexed land to the north and is within the City's Area of City Impact
boundary. A legal description and exhibit map of the overall annexation area for the R-8 zoning districts
are included in Section VIII.A.
The City may require a development agreement(DA) in conjunction with an annexation pursuant to
Idaho Code section 67-6511A. If this property is annexed, Staff recommends a DA is required with
the provisions discussed herein and included in Section IX.A.
B. PRELIMINARY PLAT(PP):
The proposed preliminary plat consists of 24 building lots and 4 common lots on 5.23 acres of land in
the proposed R-8 zoning district. Proposed lots range in size from 4,010 to 21,852 square feet(s.£) (or
0.09 to 0.50 acres). The proposed gross density of the subdivision is 4.59 units per acre. The subdivision
is proposed to develop in one phase as shown in Section VIII.B.
Existing Structures/Site Improvements: An existing home on the property is proposed to remain on
Lot 1,Block 2. The outbuilding located on Lot 3,Block 2 shall be removed with development of this
property. The existing home does not meet the required number of off-street parking spaces per UDC-
3C-6 for a three(3)bedroom home; four(4)parking spaces are required,at least 2 in an enclosed garage,
Page 6
other spaces may be enclosed or a minimum 10-foot by 20-foot parking pad. The existing home does not
comprise of an enclosed garage. Prior to the City Engineer's signature on the final plat,the non-
conformity of the home should be remedied to meet the off-street parking regulations. Once the
plat records,the existing home will require a new address.
Prior to the City Engineer's signature on the final plat, all existing structures that do not conform
to the setbacks of the district are required to be removed.
Dimensional Standards(UDC 11-2): The proposed plat and subsequent development is required to
comply with the dimensional standards listed in UDC Table I1-2A-6 for the R-8 zoning district. The
proposed plat appears to comply with the dimensional standards of the district.
Access: Access is proposed from Quarterhorse Lane from the north; direct access to N. Black Cat Road
and W. Pine Avenue is prohibited. The subject property is dependent upon the development of Horse
Meadows Subdivision directly to the north to reconstruct a portion of Quarterhorse Lane(existing
private road)as a public street,which would provide public street frontage and access to this site.
Horse Meadows Subdivision has not submitted its Final Plat for approval at this time;therefore,there is
no right-of-way abutting the subject site. The Applicant's proposal to construct public streets within
the Alexanders Landing Subdivision is contingent upon the development of the Horse Meadows
Subdivision prior to submitting a Final Plat for approval.
A local stub street(W.Newland Drive)is proposed for interconnectivity between two developments that
is stubbed at the east/west boundary on the site in accord with the UDC. The street does exceed 150
feet; therefore,a temporary turnaround is required. The Applicant is proposing to construct a
temporary turnaround on a common lot(Lot 10,Block 1),which decreases the usability of the
area. Staff recommends that the Applicant construct the temporary turnaround on Lots 5 and 7,
Block 3 in the southwest corner of the development to increase the open space for development.
The reason for this recommendation is to ensure open space for the development remains intact
without placing a burden on the HOA to remediate the removal of the turnaround area. The
Applicant included a concept plan for the property to the west that demonstrates how the western
Rl property could potentially develop in the future.
Parking(UDC 11-3C): Off-street parking is required to be provided in accord with the standards listed
in UDC Table 11-3C-6 for single-family dwellings based on the number of bedrooms per unit. Staff will
confirm compliance with these standards at the time of building permit submittal for each residence.
Landscaping(UDC 11-3B): No street buffers are required per UDC Table 11-2A-6 for internal local
streets. Common open space landscaping is proposed as shown on the landscape plan in Section VIII.C.
Landscaping is required along all pathways with a minimum of 5-feet wide shall be provided on
each side of the pathway with a mix of trees,shrubs,lawn, and/or other vegetative ground covers
per the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-12C; the landscape plan should be revised accordingly.
A Tree Mitigation Plan should be submitted with the final plat detailing all existing trees and
methods of mitigation outlined by the City Arborist before any trees are to be removed as set forth
in UDC 11-3B-IOC.5.
Common Open Space& Site Amenities(UDC 11-3G-3): A minimum of 15% (or 1.23 acres based on
5.23 acres) qualified open space is required to be provided in this development per the standards listed in
UDC 11-3G-3.
The proposed project is approximately 5.23 acres in size requiring a minimum amount of open space
based on the requested zoning. Per UDC Table 11-3G-3, the R-8 area requires a minimum of 1 S%
qualified open space. An open space exhibit was submitted that depicts 1.29 acres of common open
space for the development with 0.78 acres of this area as qualified open space(see Section VIII.E). The
Page 7
minimum amount of qualified open space required is 0.78 acres, approximately 34,194 square feet.
There are three(3) main open space areas proposed within Alexanders Landing, the centralized
common open space, the linear open space along the southern boundary, and the linear open space
located on Lot 1, Block 3. The Purdam Gulch Drain does not count as usable open space but is located
on Lot 16, Block 3 (21,617 square feet). The Applicant illustrates the drain to remain open in a natural
state on the landscape plans submitted as well as stating that all repairs and damage due to construction
will be seeded with dryland mix. The large central open space area is approximately 22,028 feet in size
and is the largest usable common area within the project. The Applicant has proposed a 5-foot micro-
path running north/south within this open space for easy pedestrian access. The linear open space along
the southern boundary is approximately 20 feet in width and over 500 feet in length. This linear open
space is shown with trees and a 6-foot wide pathway for an added pedestrian element and will also act
as a buffer between this project and the railroad to the south. The proposed micro path on Lot 1, Block 3
connects to the 6-foot wide pathway(a 10 foot wide pathway is recommended below) running along the
southern boundary to provide convenient access and pedestrian connectivity. Because of the
pedestrian connectivity and the general locations and uses of open space, Staff supports the
proposed qualified open space.
UDC 11-3G-4 dictates the minimum amenity points required for projects over 5 acres in size. The
project size of 5.23 acres requires a minimum of one(1) amenity point(1 point for every 5 acres).
According to the submitted plans,the Applicant is proposing the following amenities worth 3 amenity
points: a picnic shelter w/tables(2), and pathways(1),According to UDC Table 11-3G-4,the proposed
amenities and their point value is correct and exceed UDC requirements for a project of this size. Based
on the proposed site design and zoning, Staff supports the proposed amenities.
Pathways: The Pathways Master Plan depicts a multi-use pathway along the southern boundary
adjacent to the railroad tracks on this site for connection to future developments to the east and west
across Black Cat Road. In accord with the Master Pathways Plan,a 10-foot wide multi-use
pathway should be provided within a 14-foot wide public pedestrian easement; only a 6-foot wide
asphalt pathway is proposed. The landscape plan should be revised to include a 10-foot pathway
and an easement should be submitted and recorded prior to the City Engineer's signature on the
final plat.
Sidewalks(11-3A-17): Five-foot wide attached sidewalks are proposed within the development in
accord with UDC standards.
Waterways: The Purdam Gulch Drain runs along the southern boundary of the site. The Nampa
Meridian Irrigation District(NMID)requires an easement for the Purdam Drain courses along the south
boundary of this property. The easement for the Purdam Drain at this location is a minimum of one
hundred feet(100')total, fifty feet(50') each side. Per UDC 11-3A-6, the Applicant is requesting a
council waiver to allow the Purdam Gulch Drain to remain open in a natural state. The drain
should be fenced with an open vision fence at least six(6)feet in height and having an 11-gauge,
two-inch mesh or other construction, equivalent in ability to deter access to said ditch,lateral,
canal, slough or drain,which fence shall be securely fastened at its base at all places where any
part of said lands or areas being subdivided touches either or both sides of said ditch,lateral,
canal, slough or drain.
Utilities(UDC 11-3A-21): Connection to City water and sewer services is required in accord with UDC
11-3A-21. The existing home proposed to remain on Lot 1,Block 2 is required to connect to City water
and sewer service within 60 days of it becoming available as set forth in MCC 9-1-4 and 9-4-8.
Street lighting is required to be installed in accord with the City's adopted standards, specifications and
ordinances.
Page 8
Fencing(UDC 11-3A-6, 11-3A-7): All fencing is required to comply with the standards listed in UDC
11-3A-7. According to the submitted landscape plans,the Applicant is proposing two types of
fencing throughout the site,vinyl solid fencing and vinyl semi-privacy fencing.
Pressurized Irrigation System (UDC 11-3A-15): Underground pressurized irrigation water is required
to be provided to each lot within the subdivision as set forth in UDC I 1-3A-15.
Storm Drainage(UDC 11-3A-18):An adequate storm drainage system is required in all developments
in accord with the City's adopted standards, specifications and ordinances.Design and construction shall
follow best management practice as adopted by the City as set forth in UDC 11-3A-18.
Building Elevations: Three (3)conceptual building elevations and floor plans were submitted that
demonstrate what future homes in this development will look like (see Section VIII.F). Variations of
two-story homes with a two-car garage are proposed. The submitted elevations depict a number of
different architectural and design styles with field materials of lap siding, differing color accents,
roof profiles, and varying of home styles. Staff recommends that the Applicant add additional
stone or brick accents to the front of the homes to provide more of a variation in materials.
