Mayor Tammy DeWeerd,
City of Meridian
After careful consideration and much deliberation, it is our opinion, that we should make
a temporary one way couplet from the freeway to Fairview in order to move traffic
through the city in an orderly and expedient manner until such time as the ten mile
interchange and road development has been finished to provide relief to the downtown
area. It is our opinion that at that time we could make a more intelligent decision as to
the overall direction of the downtown streets as far as expanding the size of Meridian
road or making the huge change of the split corridor, which cannot ever be undone.
It is overwhelmingly agreed upon by the private citizens and business owners ofthe
downtown area, that the temporary one way couplet from the freeway to Fairview is a
less expensive plan than the split corridor & in the best of interest of those people that are
trying to make downtown Meridian a viable area to attract commerce of all kinds. A
temporary couplet is a more flexible plan that will allow a smoother flow of traffic
through Meridian until the Ten Mile interchange can be completed, at which time we can
make a more informed decision about traffic congestion and the future of the downtown
area of Meridian. We feel the "Steering Committee?" has refused to listen to the people
of Meridian and with no stake in Meridian or the outcome of this decision.
Ifwe decide today to do a split corridor in Meridian, it will be five years until
completion. Ifwe decide to make a one way couplet today, we could line the streets,
install the one way signs and do some reprogramming of street lights and be operational
in a matter of weeks. It is begirming to feel like we are being sold a bill of goods and
then railroaded into accepting the outcome. It does not make economic sense and it does
not solve the congestion today or even in the next three years. The steering committee
for the downtown study was made up of people who had a bias for a small two lane road
on Main Street. The idea is not bad, but is it in the best interest of the city for now, and
will it be the best thing for the city in the future? It seems to me if one was to put
together a steering committee, it would be much more diverse, and take into the mix, the
opinions of the merchants and property owners affected, as well as the private citizens.
The meetings were a sham to appease the complaints of the nay Sayers and to document
that it had taken place.

Mayor Tammy DeWeerd,
City of Meridian
After careful consideration and much deliberation, it is our opinion, that we should make
a temporary one way couplet from the freeway to Fairview in order to move traffic
through the city in an orderly and expedient manner until such time as the ten mile
interchange and road development has been fInished to provide relief to the downtown
area. It is our opinion that at that time we could make a more intelligent decision as to
the overall direction of the downtown streets as far as expanding the size of Meridian
road or making the huge change of the split corridor, which cannot ever be undone.
It is overwhelmingly agreed upon by the private citizens and business owners of the
downtown area, that the temporary one way couplet from the freeway to Fairview is a
less expensive plan than the split corridor & in the best of interest of those people that are
trying to make downtown Meridian a viable area to attract commerce of all kinds. A
temporary couplet is a more flexible plan that will allow a smoother flow oftraffic
through Meridian until the Ten Mile interchange can be completed, at which time we can
make a more informed decision about traffic congestion and the future of the downtown
area of Meridian. We feel the "Steering Committee?" has refused to listen to the people
of Meridian and with no stake in Meridian or the outcome of this decision.
If we decide today to do a split corridor in Meridian, it will be five years until
completion. If we decide to make a one way couplet today, we could line the streets,
install the one way signs and do some reprogramming of street lights and be operational
in a matter of weeks. It is beginning to feel like we are being sold a bill of goods and
then railroaded into accepting the outcome. It does not make economic sense and it does
not solve the congestion today or even in the next three years. The steering committee
for the downtown study was made up of people who had a bias for a small two lane road
on Main Street. The idea is not bad, but is it in the best interest of the city for now, and
will it be the best thing for the city in the future? It seems to me if one was to put
together a steering committee, it would be much more diverse, and take into the mix, the
opinions of the merchants and property owners affected, as well as the private citizens.
The meetings were a sham to appease the complaints of the nay Sayers and to document
that it had taken place.

on Main Street. The idea is not bad, but is it in the best interest of the city for now, and
will it be the best thing for the city in the future? It seems to me if one was to put
together a steering committee, it would be much more diverse, and take into the mix, the
opinions of the merchants and prope y owners affected, as well as the private citizens.
The meetings were a sham to appeas the complaints of the nay Sayers and to document
that it had taken place.

Downtown Meridian Transportation Management Plan
JUL 2 1 2005
City of Meridian
City Clerk Office
On Tuesday, July 26, 2005, the Meridian City Council will hold a public hearing on the
proposed Downtown Meridian Transportation Management Plan (DMTMP). The proposed
plan recotntnends the 'Split Corridor' as the best option to balance the needs of both
moving traffic and revitalizing downtown. Per the City Council's request, the Planning and
Zoning Commission reviewed the DMTMP at their meeting on July 7, 2005. The motion to
recommend approval of the plan, with the Split Corridor as the preferred option, was
approved unanimously by the Conurussion.
This staff report reviews public involvement, the process background, Multi-Criteria
Evaluation, and summarizes the analysis results. A full copy of the plan and all public
cotntnents received were transmitted to the Mayor and Council previously.
Public Involvement:
Four public meetings have been held to date: September 30, 2004; November 16, 2004;
January 19,2005; and May 18,2005. The first public meeting coincidentally occurred on the
evening of the first Presidential debate. Though it was not well attended, participation was
positive from those who came. Purposes of the meeting were to inform the public of
current conditions, describe the planning process and outline six alternative transportation
solutions.
The second public meeting focused on familiarizing participants with details of the three
finalist alternatives. It was widely publicized to encourage participation and a count shortly
after the meeting began identified 122 people present. Discussion was spirited and many
people expressed frustration widl the current circulation systenl. All in attendance except
one agreed tllat change is needed. Over the course of the meeting, participants became
increasingly engaged, constructive and positive. The meeting facilitator encouraged
participants to further express their thoughts in writing so that their ideas could be recorded
for consideration by City and ACHD leaders. Over forty people did so at the meeting.
Their comments are in the plan as Appendix 3a. Staff recommends that the Council review
all of the statements to get a better sense of public response to the presentation.
The third public meeting in ] anuary was held to present the Split Conidor as the prefened
alternative. It was also well attended, with just under 100 people at the presentation.
Written public comments from the meeting were also compiled and included in the full plan
as Appendix 4. Originally, this was intended to be the last workshop; however in April
ACHD revised the cost estimates for all alternatives upward and it was decided that the new
information needed to be taken back to the public for review and comment.
Thus, a fourth public meeting was held in open house format to present the revised cost
estimates along with ideas for phasing the Split Corridor. Attendance was not taken, as
people were able to come and go at any tin1e dU11ng the evening, but the open house was
also well attended. Written comments from the May meeting were compiled and submitted
to the Mayor and Council with a separate cover memo dated July 14 for your review and
consideration.
Tluoughout the process, a Steering Team was also involved in reviewing and making
reconunendations to the project. The Steering Team included a diverse array of interests,
including the City of Meridian, ACHD, MDC, Chamber of Commerce, Compass, lTD,
Police Dept., Valley Regional Transit, and the Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission.
Process Background:
TIllS project has been an outstanding partnership between the City, ACHD, and the project
Steering Team. The collaborative process, including extensive public involvement, has
resulted in moving from a list of about fourteen transportation management alternatives to
six semi-f111alists; and then from six to three ftnalist alternatives. The d1tee ftnalist
alternatives received a very d10rough analysis tluough a process known as Multi-Criteria
Evaluation (MCE). After much analysis and discussion, a prefened alternative, known as
the Split Corridor, was selected for the plan.
How did we come to select the Split Corridor as the prefened alternative? The MCE
method uses goals and priorities as criteria to measure the relative merits of different
alternatives. First, relevant City and ACHD (Ada County Highway District) goals were
identifted in existing documents (e.g., Comprehensive Plan). Then, the project Steering
Team collaborated to identify other project goals that should be considered and to weight
the goals according to their relative priority. Generally, the Team organized goals into three
categories: Community Priorities, Transportation Priorities, and Fiscal Priorities.
The evaluation criteria and their relative weighting! are:
1 Steering Team members were asked to distribute 100 points among the 22 criteria. The more important
anyone criterion, the more points it should receive. Scoring from each of the members was then totaled
and averaged. This democratically derived final (average) score reflects the combined insights of people
with a variety of backgrounds and specialty knowledge.
Transportation Priorities Score
.> C0111.patible with current & probable uses / zoning
.> Integrates adequately with regional transportation network
~ Reduces traffic congestion
.> Enhances circulation in all cardinal directions
.> Provides for reasonable traffic flow & progression
.> Provides adequate capacity for next 20 years
.> 1vIinimizes traffic diversion
~ Allows for reasonable pedestrian flow and safety
Community Priorities
.> Compatible with community vision and probable land uses
.> Encourages strategic development of downtown as the
heart of Meridian
~ Compatible with Downtown as a pedestrian-oriented
community center
~ Fosters multi-modal lifestyles
.> Fosters environmental quality
.> Provides high potential for public acceptance and use
~ Allows for emergency vehicle access and routing
.> Accommodates parking and commercial deliveries
.> Minimizes impacts to historic structures
Fiscal Priorities
.> Compatible with reasonable maintenance costs
~ Compatible with reasonable construction costs
~ Provides for Phased Implementation
How Multi-Criteria Evaluation Works: (Skip this section o/YOtl are familiar with !vICE.)
In the real world, choices are complicated by the presence of multiple and diverse goals.
Multi-Criteria Evaluation is an analytic system that helps decision-makers compare
alternatives using a range of typically incomparable criteria (e.g., cost, square feet, number of
people, time, etc.). The first step in this process is to identify goals, or 'criteria', to be used in
the evaluation. The priorities listed above are such criteria.
The second step is to determine 11.1eanS to measure performance of each alternative against
each criterion. There are many ways to measure performance. Sometimes decision-makers
are well served with measures as simple as 'yes-no.' Often, more detailed measures can
provide a greater depth of insight (e.g., square feet, total dollars). For the Downtown
Meridian project, a mix of such measures has been used. Each measure needs to be
expressed in quantitative terms. Even with Yes-No situations, 'Yes' becomes a one and 'No'
becomes a zero. Partial fulfillment in such situations can be stated as a fraction between
zero and one.
In the third step, the value of Multi-criteria Evaluation (.tvlCE) becomes most clear.
Ordinarily, such things as dollars cannot be compared to square feet. With MCE,
performance measures for all alternatives are totaled for each criterion. An average is then
calculated. Individual measures for each alternative are compared to the average in terms of
its variance from the average. This is called "normalizing the score:' At this stage, measures
from diverse criteria are now in a comparable form.
In the fourth step, normalized scores are multiplied by a weighting factor that expresses their
relative importance. Again, this reflects the real world where different goals (criteria) have
varying levels of importance. In MCE, to obtain these weights, one hundred points are
distributed among the criteria. The higher the importance of a criterion, the more points it
gets (c.f., Footnote 1). The individual weighted and normalized measures are totaled for
each alternative to derive a comparable performance score. Generally, the higher the score,
the better an alternative addresses the collective criteria.
Results:
The results of the MCE scoring are summarized in the following table:
Alternative Cost Score
1. Split Corridor $11.6 M 74
2. Widen Meridian $11.7 M 58
3. One-Way Couplet $8.1 M 47
4. Base Condition $0 29
These scores measure relative performance and are useful only in comparing one alternative
to another. No "perfect" score is possible or implied.
In brief, the Split Corridor performs the best among all criteria. The Widen Meridian
alternative also addresses the Community priorities better than the One-Way Couplet. All
alternatives perform substantially better than the Base Condition (which relies exclusively on
regional transportation improvements to address program criteria).
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the Downtown Meridian Transportation Management Plan,
with the Split Corridor as the preferred alternative. For many years the City has been in a
debate between the one-way couplet and widening Meridian Road. We have found a
solution that combines the best components of both other options and meets the needs for
both traffic flow and downtown revitalization. We look f01ward to a productive discussion
with the Mayor, Council, and the public about this plan.

The Honorable Tammy de Weerd
Meridian City Council
33 E. Idaho Ave.
Meridian, ill 83642
Dear Mayor de Weerd and Council Members,
The Meridian Chamber of Commerce Board is very interested in the City's solution to
downtown Meridian traffic. Upon reviewing all of the City's presentations the membership and
our Joint Government Affairs/Economic Development Committee, and after attending various
public meetings on the suggested traffic alternatives, the Chamber is taking the following
position.
We support the split corridor option as a long-term solution to downtown traffic
congestion; however, because this project will not be complete for at least 5 years, the on-
going vitality of the Meridian business community requires an immediate solution that
provides relief in the interim. We call on the City and ACHD to address this interim
solution, which includes detailed plans of the FairviewIMainIMeridian intersections.
With the continuing positive redevelopment of downtown, and our ever increasing population
and traffic congestion, solutions need to be found soon to ensure that we have a vibrant
downtown core that people will want to visit. We urge you to continue the good work you have
begun in making this a reality. The Chamber is ready and willing to assist you towards this goal.
Sincerely,
Robert Chandler
President

Memo
To: Meridian City Council
Ada County Highway District Commission
From: Steering Committee
Date: May 11, 2005
Rm Preferred Alternative for Downtown Meridian Traffic
The Steering Committee supports the process and results of the Downtown Meridian
Transportation Management Plan. We established evaluation criteria that consider three
different types of impacts: transportation, community, and fiscal. We used these criteria and
public input to narrow our evaluation from fourteen to six to three altematives. The top three
alternatives then received in~depth analyses over the past several months. Through these
analyses, we have concluded that the 'Split Corridor' option along Main Street/Meridian
Road best meets the combined transportation and community needs ofthe City of Meridian.
We understand that there are still many unresolved issues concerning implementation and
funding related to constructing the corridor. We encourage the Meridian City Council and
Ada County Highway District Commissioners to work together to further refine the design of
the corridor and to resolve the funding issues.
Thank you for your consideration,
Steering Committee

Siddoway: Thank you Mr. Council President. Mr. President and members of the
Council. I am here before you tonight and am looking forward to this discussion
on this proposal for the Downtown Meridian Transportation Plan. We titled this
presentation where the vision hits the road. As you recall last year at this time
(
Meridian City Council Special Meeting
July 26, 2005
Page 2 of 30
we were just wrapping up our Downtown Marketing Strategy, which set our vision
for downtown revitalization and the downtown has been experiencing heavy
congestion for several years. We also have an area near the freeway off of
Waltman Lane that is not developing due to lack of access. For years, as many
of you know even better than I there has been a debate over what to do with
downtown traffic. ACHD has been asking the city for a decision and about a year
ago, we started this process to try and come to a solution, to move forward with a
decision and this study was initiated to do that. We have a brief presentation that
will go through the background history of the project, of the present conditions we
are experiencing and the future opportunities or alternatives that became the
finalist. First of all, you probably heard the acronym DMTMP. That is the short
version for the Downtown Meridian Transportation Management Plan. It has
been a partnership between the city and the Ada County Highway District. It's
been a fifty-fifty partnership from its outset funded by both agencies and
participates fully by both agencies through both the RFP process, consultant
selection and the preparation of the plan. The consultant team for the project
was a combination of the Hudson Company who worked on the Downtown
Marketing Strategy and (inaudible) Pierce who are transportation consultants
specifically. As mentioned, this project initiated in August of '04. We completed
the plan last month in June and we are before you tonight with this public
hearing. Our goal was to identify circulation system that addresses three
priorities - three groups of priorities: community priorities, transportation
priorities and fiscal priorities and I will get into what those are here in just a
moment. First of all for the benefit of everyone here, a little bit of orientation to
the corridor. We are looking at roughly two miles of the corridor along Meridian
Road and Main Street between Interstate 84 and Fairview - Cherry Lane. This 1-
84 Interchange at Meridian Road is the second busiest interchange in the state.
The busiest is also in Meridian at Eagle Road, so there are very high volumes of
traffic being experienced by the corridor. Main Street bisects downtown
Meridian. The downtown area pretty well begins at Meridian Road and goes over
to around East 3rd and Main Street runs through the heart. We have a critical
five-way intersection down the south end, which we will get into more detail here,
but it's at the Main Meridian - Waltman Central intersection where KFC is where
Main and Meridian split. Oh, let me go back. Now ACHD has the primary
mission of moving cars. The city has been working very hard on goals to
revitalize downtown. We went into this knowing that our solution - that would
work for downtown Meridian we would have to do both. We have to move cars
and need to make sure that it works for the downtown revitalization goals. Some
of the most obvious issues to us in going into this is that there is a delicate
balance between what we call to traffic and through traffic. Now the through
traffic is the commuter traffic that travels through the area, but are not necessarily
people who stop and visit and shop. The to-traffic are those destination trips.
What we have been hearing for quite a while from downtown businesses is the
through traffic is really becoming so heavy that it is deterring to-traffic or people
who might be customers from coming downtown. It is so difficult to come
downtown, make a left-hand turn into a business or out of a business, finding
Meridian City Council Special Meeting
July 26, 2005
Page 3 of 30
convenient parking and things like that that it's really the traffic issue has become
a detriment to downtown. So we have got to balance that to-traffic and that
through-traffic and find ways to accommodate both. The next thing is that it is
time for a decision, as you will see in a moment that the issue has been
discussed for at least 13 years - probably longer than that. What do we do with
downtown traffic? And the whole goal of this was to try and find a decision that
we can move forward with. I have already mentioned the intersection so I will
move on. I am going to turn some time over to Terry Little. For a little bit on the
background, you'll see here in the note that the study initiated in 1992. That's
kind of where the recent history on this issue began and with that I will turn the
time over to him.
Little: Thank you Mr. President, Mayor and Council and citizens. This began
about 13 years ago, at least my involvement with it. At that time, the main
concern of ACHD was the intersection at Central down by McDonalds and we did
a study to find out what are we going to do with a five-legged intersection once
the Waltman Lane develops because it's destined to break down if we didn't
simplify it and limit access at least on one leg to make it function better. At that
time, Mayor Corrie had been on the Council three months, so everything has
changed over. Even the street name has changed. We or you changed it from
East 1 st to Main Street, so if I slip and say East 1 st, you will now where that is
coming from. But, with the study - arriving at a decision at what the ultimate
should be and then also installed a signal in the interim and the traffic that we
had in 1992 would triple at that intersection by 2002 in ten years. We finished
the signal in 1994. In 1997 we did a Meridian corridor study. Now this included
the whole corridor that Steve showed you. The conclusion was that a one-way
couplet was certainly the most efficient way to go and was the solution, but it
wasn't totally supported, it was kind of the last resort, it was put into plan and no
one wanted to see it built in the near term and so it kind of sat there and as a
consequence we ended up looking at some alternatives at the intersection.
There was some concern that in that six year period or so - or six to eight years
that of the new players that were involved in that and there were many that
weren't happy with the limitation, which did reduce direct access to Waltman
Lane as part of the concept, ended up with pretty much the same place - a little
tweak to the design, but started the intersection design in 2001 and as we got
going in there new players entered again. I think it was primarily the
development community over there and a concern about access. We looked at
six alternatives in 2002 and finally arrived at and started proceeding on the
design of one and we built phase one in late 2002 which was the Corporate _
Main intersection where we installed a signal to widen the road and we set up to
go back and do a stage two, the Central - Waltman - Main - Meridian
intersection, but before we got started on that the corridor study was looked at
again and updated and then we put that on hold and Meridian went through this
marketing strategy and the conclusion was that we wanted something that would
leave the downtown in a lower traffic volume, more compatible for - extremely for
pedestrian uses. Elaborating on what Steve mentioned about through-traffic and
Meridian City Council Special Meeting
July 26, 2005
Page 4 of 30
to-traffic, this is an auto-oriented area, certainly by any stretch or by anyone's
definition - Winco and Home Depot and so forth that is auto-oriented. Downtown
identified up there as more the pedestrian friendly storefront type atmosphere.
The transitional (inaudible) zoned between Franklin and the railroad tracks and
then you have got the surrounding residential both to the north and to the west
and all the way around this area to the north and west you have the residential
areas - you have some open land and then you have the demand for traffic. The
primary through-traffic coming from the Boise direction, Micron, so forth going out
Franklin and into the residential area and then we have the same directions
coming from the east, going north and then west on Cherry Lane. So, that is the
through-traffic demand in that corridor. The unfortunate thing is the way the
intersection is set up and the ways the roadways are set up you have more of a
capacity - your five lane intersection - concerns I have mentioned - auto-
oriented land uses here - heavy traffic volumes - a desire to really open this up
to really maximize the potential of this economically off of Waltman Lane and a
need to serve the predominant corridor pattern, but the capacity goes this way to
the - up the Main Street, the demand of where the people want to go is up
Meridian Road, largely in a sense of the through-traffic. Okay with that I will give
it back to Steve.
Siddoway: Thank you, so that is an outline of what we are faced with. What we
have done to try and identify the future opportunities, we set up a process known
as multi-criteria evaluation in order to try and identify all the different types of
goals that we were trying to balance. Before we ever identified any solutions we
first asked the question, what are we trying to achieve? What are the goals that
we are going to weigh into the alternatives against? What we came up with was
a series of different types of priorities. There were transportation priorities that
were considered. Those transportation priorities considered things such as the
level of service through the corridor, which is a measure of the delay at the
intersections, the signalization and time spent traveling through the corridor and
things like that. There were also nine community priorities that were identified.
Those were themes like what - how well does the proposed solution fit in with
our goals for downtown revitalization? How does it work for emergency services
routing? And many other things like that. Finally we also did include the fiscal
priorities. What does it cost to build both in terms of right-of-way and in terms of
construction? What are the maintenance costs likely to be? And other
opportunities for phasing this solution? Now to go into what the various
alternatives are. The first thing that everything is weighed against and that
someone could consider one of the alternatives is the based condition, meaning
what we have today. It considers Main and Meridian without any changes as it is
today, but it does include several regional improvements. The Ten Mile
Interchange, the Locust Grove Overpass, a Linder Overpass and the extension
of Corporate to the west that is also planned. Now, the first question that we had
to ask was is this enough? What we determined is that it was not. The
advantage of the base condition is obviously the cost that if you don't build
anything in the corridor, there is no cost to that. The disadvantage is that it does
Meridian City Council Special Meeting
July 26, 2005
Page 5 of 30
nothing to address the bottleneck at the Waltman intersection and doesn't meet
the future travel demand through the corridor. So, the first alternative to the base
condition is the one-way couplet that was considered in that 1997 study. What it
would do is it would have one-way traffic headed northbound on Main Street,
southbound on Meridian Road. Main Street would continue to dead end at
Fairview and that is where the couplet would run. The advantage of the couplet
is that it does improve the operations of the Waltman intersection. Because of
the high traffic volumes that you would expect to see along a couplet like this is
that it does serve well the auto-oriented businesses on the south end. There is
less right of way needed for the couplet than other alternatives and at a resulting
moderate construction cost. The disadvantage is that the primary one is that it is
inconsistent with the downtown goals and objectives, not because it is one-way,
but because of the high traffic volumes that it pushes through downtown and then
secondly as I mentioned the abrupt one-way to two-way transition at the end
where Main Street would continue to dead end. The second alternative, which
has been talked about for some time is to widen Meridian Road. You can see a
blow up on the inset here and how this might work with Meridian Road punching
straight through. Main Street would then t-in and would not actually be accessed
by the signal at this intersection and this would become a standard four-way
intersection with Central, Waltman and Meridian Road. The primary advantages
of the widening Meridian Road alternative is that it does put the heavy through
traffic on Meridian Road, which saves downtown Main Street from those heavy,
heavy traffic volumes, so it becomes consistent with the downtown goals. It does
improve the Waltman intersection. The main disadvantage of this option - this
does not meet the south end auto-oriented businesses as well. It has the most
right of way needed of any alternative and the level of service which is a measure
of how much you have to wait to get through a signal light intersection at Franklin
and Meridian goes to a level service (inaudible) and so it has the poorest function
for delay at the intersections. Those are the two that have been debated for a
number of years. The third finalist that was brought up is a hybrid of the two.
What it does is that you have a one-way couplet on the south end and Main and
Meridian split and Main becomes northbound and Meridian southbound, that
couplet continues north beyond Franklin Road and between Franklin and the
railroad tracks, the couplet comes together with a new road connection. What
this does for you is instead of having a couplet that dead ends at the north end, it
comes back together in a more seamless manner. Now the advantages of the
split corridor is that it also does improve the operations at Waltman. Because of
the high traffic volumes, you do see a benefit to the auto-oriented businesses
down that end. It does shift heavy through-traffic to Meridian Road before
reaching downtown, you have got an easy one to two-way transition in this area
rather than an abrupt one and it is consistent with the downtown goals because
of the traffic volumes that would fall more in the range of the six to ten thousand
vehicles per day that we would like to see in the downtown setting, rather than
the 20,000 plus that we are experiencing today. The main disadvantages of the
split corridor include the right of way for the transition area and also the
southbound Main Street movement isn't as direct or seamless as the movements
Meridian City Council Special Meeting
July 26, 2005
Page 6 of 30
as the northbound Main or north and southbound Meridian Road. However, to
address that there are multiple connections in downtown Meridian to get traffic
from Main Street that want to get over to Meridian Road and be able to make that
movement. I want to turn some time over to Terry to talk some themes and
ideas.
Little: One of the questions is can it be phased and how would it be phased?
Because we are hearing again and again, that you have got to do something in
the short term for traffic and we looked at a couple of phasing ideas and one was
to rebuild the intersection to the ultimate here at Central can bring a couplet up to
Franklin and then have a two way street to be like it is today and the other one
was to go to Ada. As we analyze that the one to Franklin is really the way to go it
has less impact up here and it works well. So, let's not to confuse it, with that
needs to come and certainly a commitment to the ultimate plan. I am not trying
to derail that in anyway, but to let you know there is the potential to - this a fairly
expensive expenditure - this area probably could be done without too much
investment in an interim way. This is what that transition - this is Franklin Road
and here is the railroad tracks - this is what that transition looks like in terms of
the area coming up past Ada and the Youth Ranch, I think is right there and
Tates is up in here, swings over and this would be one-way northbound here,
one-way southbound here and then they would join and this would be five lanes
from where they join up through Fairview - Cherry intersection. This is a look at
what the intersection would be like. Again, this is a one-way, northbound here
with - this is two-way obviously coming from the interstate, but one-way north of
here, one-way southbound on Meridian - Waltman could come in as a normal leg
on this as would Central and that would be a four-legged intersection, essentially,
where these two serve as one leg. I guess the most comparable intersection is
Main and - Idaho or Main and Warm Springs down by St. Luke's where they
come together at Broadway and this functions as a four-way intersection. A
pretty good investment in this project, but it (inaudible) a lot of traffic as Steve
mentioned, this is the second heaviest link in our whole system to Eagle Road in
terms of traffic volume. As we ran the various alternatives through that scoring
process and we had all the various goals in the transportation priority, the
community priorities and fiscal priorities and weighted them. This was the
scoring that came out. The split corridor, with the highest at 75 points, to widen
Meridian Road second at 58, the couplets below it had 47. The other thing that
everyone wants to know is the cost. What is the cost? Have those up there and
these are the updated costs that ACHD came up with in April. The split corridor,
the option that we are recommending is 11.6 million - the couplet is 8.1 million
and to widen Meridian Road is 11.7 million. You should have received from me
in preparation for this meeting three items. One is a copy of the full plan. One
was a memo including all of the public comments received to date both from the
most recent meeting and then all of the public comments received at the prior
three were in the body of the document itself and then third was a staff report that
gives you some more of the background and the weighting and how the multi-
criteria evaluation process worked. It's been our goal to give the Council a
(
Meridian City Council Special Meeting
July 26,2005
Page 7 of 30
process that lays out the goals and it has been a way to gather all the information
that we can about these alternatives and recommend what we think is the best
alternative that works for both traffic and downtown goals and we would
recommend the split corridor to you as that option.
Wardle: Thank you Mr. Siddoway. Council, Mayor any questions for Steve
before we begin the public testimony portion?
Bird: No.
Wardle: Thank you for the fine presentation for both us and the public, Steve. I
have in front of me a sign in sheet. We will begin taking public testimony. At the
conclusion of the public testimony, the Council has a number of choices that we
can choose to close the public hearing and then make a decision, choose to
close the public hearing and request additional information or leave the public
hearing open. Is that - are those, Mr. Baird?
Baird: That's correct.
Wardle: Thank you. If you will please state your name and address for the
record when you come up and please limit your comments to three minutes, we
will have a timer up here and it will have a soft beep and if you could make your
closing remarks then. My first person is John Foresberg and John, I believe that
you are speaking for a number of individuals so I am going to provide you five
minutes to present what I understand is a petition? If you will state your name
and address please. ~
John Foresberg: Thank you my name is John Foresberg, [live at 2320 Cadillac
Drive in Meridian. I am kind of affected by this in several ways and I have
thought about it an awful lot. Basically, I wrote a petition and sent it around town
and we got several hundred signatures on it. A lot of the people on Meridian
Road and a lot of my own customers and people that drive the area. Anyway,
what we believe ought to take place is that we install a temporary one-way
couplet from the freeway or the split all the way up to Fairview and do that
immediately and do all the intersection changes as we can so that we can
provide the most amount of relief to the drivers driving up and down the corridor.
It may be that it will be inconvenient for some of us, but it seems like that would
be the best route until the Ten Mile Interchange gets completed. At that time, it
seems that the best thing to do would be to step back and take a look at the
traffic volumes and where the traffic is moving to, what's actually taking place
and then make a decision on the final outcome of downtown. We think that
because it's a much more changeable program than the split corridor. The split
corridor did not take into consideration the intersection at the north end. It is
going to completely make that an absoluteness with the traffic volumes that we
currently have. Fairview is already backed up all the way to Locust Grove at
night and in the morning. If you put a five lane in over there and the two lane
(
Meridian City Council Special Meeting
July 26, 2005
Page 8 of 30
going on Main Street, we are going to have an absolute nightmare and it seems
to me that the Hudson Company's study was completely worthless because it did
not take that into consideration and that's basically the jest of what we have to
say. Who would like to receive the petitions?
Wardle: You can present it to the City Clerk please. Thank you very much.
John Foresberg: Thank you.
Wardle: I would also like to note for the record that the city has received a letter
from Mr. Christopher Brower and has entered his written comments into the
public record. Next, Mike Zimmerman.
Mike Zimmerman: Good evening your honor, Council members. I am here this
evening to speak in opposition to the couplet plan. The opposition is strictly
selfish. My wife is the owner of the Hungry Onion at the drive-in restaurant,
which is located at Ada and Main Street Unfortunately this is right in the "y" of
the proposed plan. According to your numbers that I have from the previous
meetings, this would limit the traffic past the Hungry Onion to about 3,000
vehicles a day as opposed to the current, which is too much traffic by there now.
I think this would adversely affect the business. I noticed in the planning that
they took special pains to make sure that the motors had easy access to
McDonalds. The Hungry Onion has been here for 50 years and has long-term
employees that live and contribute tax money to Meridian economy and I just
think that it would put us out of business. If you want to illustrate the point, I
could ask one of the planners to get up and describe how a motorist who wanted
to come to the Hungry Onion for lunch would get there from the Post Office after
this was done. Would somebody want to do that?
Wardle: Council?
Donnell: Council member Donnell would.
Wardle: Mr. Siddoway if you could provide a brief-
Donnell: It can't be done?
Bird: Not unless you go back up to the -
Siddoway: Let me go to the blow up of that area and that will help me show that
the most. Okay, this is a blow up of the split corridor transition. This is Main
again and this is Meridian. The Hungry Onion I believe sits right here is that
correct?
Zimmerman: Yes.
(
Meridian City Council Special Meeting
July 26, 2005
Page 9 of 30
Siddoway: So, the question was southbound. First let me show you northbound
you would be able to come in and turn right into the business directly.
Southbound you would come up and you would have to enter from Ada to get
into the business at that location.
Donnell: Mr. President.
Wardle: Ms. Donnell.
Donnell: Steve you would need to go - what way is that, east from the Post
Office?
Siddoway: South from the Post Office, down Main, turn east on Ada and into the
business.
Zimmerman: The transition begins before Ada.
Rountree: This is not a debate.
Wardle: Thank you Mr. Siddoway and thank you Mr. Zimmerman for your
comments. Next I have Pam Haws. Please begin by stating --
Pam Haws: Well, I was actually with him and so he was really speaking on my
behalf, but you know have worked there for 36 years, so -
Wardle: Thank you~very much. Sally Norton is you could please state your
name and address for us.
Sally Norton: Well, personally I think the Hungry Onion is a Meridian icon and so
I think we should make a special effort to let people go there. I love looking at
that. My name is Sally Norton and I live at 638 Mondale Drive in Meridian Idaho.
I have been a resident of Meridian and the Boise area for 23 years. I have a
Masters of Public Administration degree and I have been a Meridian Planning
and Zoning Commissioner. I also have been commuting this route for 12 years,
the last two years I have been carpooling with a fellow person and we carpool
downtown, so I am very much affected by this and I believe this is the sixth study
regarding this road. I think it has been studied to death. I do feel jf I could just
add one thing is if you could pleas time the stop lights - BSU engineering
students did time stop lights in Boise - particularly the stop lights on Cherry Lane
and Meridian Road and Main, if those could be timed better that would help
tremendously. BSU Engineering students would be happy to do that for free.
The comment by the first person regarding doing a temporary couplet and then
waiting for another study after the Ten Mile Interchange went through. When I
was on Planning and Zoning, Ten Mile Interchange was on ACHD, I think the
five-year plan and as we know five years, ten year plan, it gets - you will drown
quite a bit with ACHD, so it could be another 20 years before we get another

couplet there at Ten Mile and the freeway - I am very much in favor of this, I
think Steve Siddoway and his group has done a beautiful job and I think it is time
for action and I say do it. If I could use part of my three minutes, I was unable to
attend the public hearing at 8:00 yesterday regarding the budget. Again I noticed
in the newspaper it was reported a $242,000 more dollars is to be put away for
another five studies. I am a working person and I couldn't come to the public
hearing, but I can't even save that amount of money from my retirement and I am
tired of studies. We are smart and I think we can handle this. So, that's all I
have. Thank you very much.
Donnell: Mr. President.
Wardle: Ms. Donnell.
Donnell: A question. Did you - let me see if I understand that. You are for the
split corridor?
Sally Norton: Correct.
Wardle: Thank you for your comments.
Bird: Mr. President.
Wardle: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Remind her that that wasn't a public hearing on the budget -- that will be
coming up the 30th of August.
Wardle: Yes, that was an initial presentation and you still have time to comment
on the official budget. The next individual - I cannot read the first name -- the
last name is Anderson, I believe?

Wardle: The next person, Violet Blake. If you could please state your name and
address please.
Violet Blake: My name is Violet Blake and I live at 612 N. Eldon in Star Idaho.
Where they are doing the cross over and at first I would like to complain because
I have never been notified of any other public hearings on this. I own four blocks
at the southwest corner of Main and Ada Street and your plan that they have is
going to go exactly through my property and this property is my main source of
income. I am a widow. So, now what I want to know is that when they come in
and they take all of my property are they going to compensate me enough to
make my income be what it is now or is it what they are going to offer me - I am
going to have to put on low interest rates and cut my income in half and I would

like to know what is going on, but I also think that this was a great over sight and
I should have been notified a long time ago. The only reason I know about this is
I happen to be at the coffee shop and ended up with an old Meridian Times that
had this notice in it. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known that this was happening.
Thank you.
Wardle: Thank you.
Donnell: Mr. President.
Wardle: Ms. Donnell.
Donnell: Mrs. Blake, can you say again where your property is?
Violet Blake: My property is on the southwest corner of Main and Ada and it
goes right by the Lathrop, where it comes-
Donnell: Main and Ada right there? Oh, that portion right there? What is the
businesses that are currently there?
Violet Blake: There is a sign company, I forgotten his name because he
subleases, but Vinyl Touch is the renters of my property.
Donnell: Okay, thank you.
Wardle: Rich Allison.~
Rich Allison: Mr. President, City Council we have studied this for 25 years that's
true. We have come up with a lot of solutions and we have looked at a lot of
plans, financed a lot of studies and we really have gotten nowhere in my opinion.
We have now come up with a hybrid plan that takes away a lot of property. It
doesn't really solve our problem. It doesn't get people out of town on Main Street
going south correctly. It will create many, many accidents in the future. We
probably should buy and build a Police Station right where that little (inaudible) is
because we are going to need there because of people trying to get back south
from Main. By the way, the Hungry Onion is a well-known place. It is also in a
movie, Bronco Billy with Glint Eastwood for those of you who haven't been here
long enough to know that. I really believe that we should leave everything the
way it is until the Ten Mile Interchange is built. We should also do another traffic
count next year after Locust Grove is built across the freeway, which is going to
relieve some traffic downtown without question. The third thing I did after I got
the information with regard to the split corridor is contact my brother who is
Deputy Director of Transportation for the California Transportation System. I
reviewed this with him and he came up here and he made a solution, which I felt
was appropriate and would work and I don't know how many Councilmen here
have looked at that solution. If not, I have those comments that I made to the
Meridian City Council Special Meeting
July 26, 2005
Page 12 of 30
Planning group and I also drew a map that showed a different type of way of
solving the problem, which is not part of the six studies that were done by ACHD.
Basically, what it would be is exactly the same as what they have today before
you, except that Main Street would only be one way to approximately Gem Street
or somewhere in that location. At that location, Main Street would be brought
back into Meridian Road to what I call a reverse. split corridor, which means that
we would not have to buy any additional right of way other than widening what I
feel should be widened, which is Meridian Road and it solve getting all the cars to
the south; it would solve getting all the cars to the north, both on Meridian Road
and on Main Street and would make Meridian Road a five lane Road. The only
objection I have heard to Meridian Road being five lanes is a level "f' intersection
at Franklin and if ACHD after all of this time cannot build an intersection that
would relieve that problem, it's hard for me to believe. It would not be level "f',
certainly.
Wardle: Thank you. David Gray? If you could please state your name and
address for the record please.
David Gray: David Gray, 1404 West Gander Drive. We just thought we were
signing up to say that we were here. Didn't know we were up here to speak, but I
will talk for a few minutes. Tate's Rents is not in the movie that I am aware of.
Our only concern is if you go back to the one - we do lose some ability to get
down to one of our end lots. We do own an end lot, where we store our
equipment, our big equipment, backhoes and 686's and it would be real difficult
for us to drive a backhoe across the two lanes going that other way. Other than
that, there is -
Donnell: Mr. Gray?
Wardle: There is a pointer right there.
David Gray: All right. This right here, we own that. So, I am not sure how we
would get across there. It is a backhoe and we could just drive over the road, but
I don't know if we really want to do that. Anyway, that's like - I haven't talked
with Steve at all about that, so it is just something we kind of thought of. My
office is right here, so I am kind of sad about that and I will have to move back
over into here, but I am okay with that too. I am guessing that people are going
to be able to come into here off this and be able to connect here and hoping that
will be made just as easily as possible for our customers. That is one thing that
Tate's Rents prides itself on is customers. Contractors don't want to kind of wait
a half an hour to get in and out of our store and that's one that we do is to make
sure that they are in and out. Thanks.
Wardle: Thank you. Ellis Cunningham.

Clair Bowman: My name is Clair Bowman and I live at 4400 W. Legacy Lane,

called the Meridian Development Corporation. The Board and I have been active
observers and participants in this study for it's entire duration. The report of the
Hudson Company and Fair & Pierce was presented to the MDC Board for
consideration. They accepted the report and recommended that the split corridor
option - they recommended officially the conclusions that are in the report are
supported and should be supported by the City Council. That would be all I have
to report. Thank you.

would like to if you would please come forward and state your name and

Robert Wynner: Robert Wynner, 2730 S. Mayflower Way, Boise. Council
members, Madame Mayor I am a potential landowner at Waltman Lane. The
property has been basically landlocked for I guess forever. If this intersection is
enlarged and Waltman Lane becomes accessible, we have several businesses,
hotels and restaurants that have already spoken to us that would like to be there.
Waltman Lane being widened and improved will also access subdivisions to the
west and with Corporate coming down from the north and also accessed
subdivisions to the northwest as well through the stubs that are now just dead
ends. So, some of our traffic that is now having to go down to Franklin, turn
west, come back in could then cut through on Waltman using basically what we
are going to develop as access into and out of their subdivisions, morning and
evening and for businesses as well. That's alii have to add.

Jay Johnson: -- I have been involved in this, as I said for about 23 or 24 years,

parking and consequently, it's null and void. One piece of property. You got a lot
of things to weigh. [would like to see Meridian survive.
Donnell: Thank you.
Jay Johnson: Thank you.
Wardle: Is there anyone further? Thank you very much for all of your public
comments. Council we do have an open public hearing.
Bird: Mr. President I would like to ask Mr. Little to verify something. The
Waltman intersection goes in all three options, right? The same configuration?
Terry Little: The Waltman leg has full access under all - if that's what you are
asking.
Bird: Yeah.
Terry Little: Yeah, that was one thing that we were strong about early on in this
study - we wanted to present real options that could serve that because that is
the thing that has hung this up all along is providing that full access.
Bird: Okay, thank you.
Donnell: Mr. President.
Wardle: Ms. Donnell.
Donnell: Mr. Little, would you please respond to the role that ACHD has in the
Ten Mile Interchange?
Terry Little: Yes, the Ten Mile Interchange is, of course, primarily ITD and
development and we have been involved in a number of meetings, but it has
never been to my knowledge, my 13 years, been in our program as a funded
project. I think ITD has identified it as part of that GARVEY funding and has
Meridian City Council Special Meeting
July 26, 2005
Page 15 of30
great potential to be done in cooperation with the development. We are working
with them, we of course are greatly impacted and need to work with them on our
projects and ITD will be dealing with this GARVEY proposal here at their Board
level soon. I expect we will be getting feedback meetings, planning and hopefully
a program project in the near term that can do that interchange. I can't speak for
ITD or the developer, but we will just cooperate.
Donnell: Mr. President, follow up?
Wardle: Ms. Donnell.
Donnell: Mr. Little, ITD meaning Idaho Department of Transportation?
Terry Little: Correct.
Donnell: Idaho Transportation Department, I'll get that right. Then would you
also respond to the Locust Grove overpass and ACHD's role in that as well?
Terry Little: Yes, the Locust Grove overpass is one in which Meridian had
proposed that they make a commitment on right-of-way purchase and dollar
commitment. They made a very large commitment on that. ACHD committed to
move it into our program and do it as expeditiously as we could. The final key to
the puzzle was the over-crossing, which ITD was to fund with a couple different
funding sources. That has finally been resolved and that is the last piece that will
be built and that was 2006, that will be next year. It will make a difference in
downtown and that is going to be huge for the locals to get across the freeway
without having to do Eagle Road or Meridian.
Donnell: Follow up again, I am sorry.
Wardle: Ms. Donnell.
Donnell: So that - yes the city did make a huge commitment. I think 1.8 million
dollars. So, that will be completed in 2006? Started in 2006? How long will it
take for that to be completed?
Terry Little: Let me - boy, I am not exactly sure. I will look and see what I have
got in my program. Involving ITD and the Interstate, we don't have as much
control as we might, but I will look in my book here and see if we have got an
estimate on that.
Donnell: Thank you.
Mayor: Mr. President.
Wardle: Madame Mayor.

Meridian City Council Special Meeting
July 26, 2005
Page 16 of 30
Mayor: While, Terry looks at that [ think it's important to note that ACHD has
been a huge partner with the City of Meridian in this. On the Ten Mile
Interchange they have worked hard to improve a lot of miles of road over there
by 2009, so that there are ready for the impact of the traffic when the Ten Mile is
constructed. So, we appreciate that partnership. Also, they were the ones that
kept pursuing and keeping Locust Grove overpass on the books when it very
easily could have been taken off. They have also fronted the money for ITD
because it was in ITD's plan for 2007. So, I would like to note that publicly that
ACHD has been a partner with the City of Meridian and they are working on
behalf of our community and our citizens to make sure a lot of our transportation
improvements are done. Unfortunately none of them can be done as
expeditiously as we would like to see them, but they have been great partners for
the City.
Wardle: Council, to continue to have an open public hearing?
Bird: I think Mr. Little is -
Rountree: Terry is looking for an answer.
Terry Little: 2006 is what our program shows, but it's not specific as to the actual
letting the contract and that and I can say that that's when we've got everything
funded, but I can't say exactly when it will begin and end. It says constructions
program for 2006 with funding split in 2006 and 2007, so it could end and would
end likely in 2007. Our 2007 calendar year starts in September or October 1,
2006.
Donnell: Okay, thank you.
Rountree: Mr. President, I have a question for staff. Would you speak to the
comment that was made that the Transportation Management Plan didn't
address issues at Fairview and Main and a[so speak to the concept that Mr.
Allison proposed if you would?
Siddoway: I will begin and then turn some time over to Terry. The Plan did go
up to and include the intersections at Main and Fairview and Meridian and
Fairview. It was looked at in terms of level of service and delay comparisons at
those intersections and total delay for the corridor. What it did not do is go
beyond the intersection to bring the couplet back together, but it did include those
specific intersections in the analysis.
Terry Little: I would just add a question with respect to Franklin and Meridian,
which does show up as a level service "f' under the widened Meridian concept. I
think that the issue was that the amount of traffic would exceed the ability - your
normal ability to handle intersection with double "f' turns. You can't make a triple
<'
Meridian City Council Special Meeting
July 26, 2005
Page 17 of 30
"f' turn onto a five lane street because traffic turns don't have any place to go and
it was the maximum conventional build out, I believe, is what the consultant used
in there and came up with a delay of 92.5 seconds, which the capacity or the
level service "f', "e,f' line is 80 seconds. So, it wasn't beyond measure -
sometimes the computer will tell us. That compared with split corridor of 23.6 at
the same intersection delay and 20.7 at the one-way couplet verses 92.5, so
there might have been some tweaks to get it down to an 80 maximum capacity of
level service "e", but it was four times the delay of the other two alternatives at
that intersection.
Rountree: Mr. President.
Wardle: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: Follow up. Other comments were made about the difficulty with
southbound traffic on Main Street making the move to get to Meridian to leave
town.
Siddoway: I will start with that. There are - as Main Street comes to downtown,
there is three lanes in the couplet. The right most lane continues straight north,
two lanes peel off to join Meridian Road. If you were coming southbound Main
Street and reached this juncture, you would have to cross one lane of traffic, get
in the left hand lane and continue south that direction. However, if your
downtown destination is further north, you got to remember there are roads, east-
west roads about every 300 hundred feet in the downtown area that could get
people from the dowl'ltown Main Street over to Meridian Road and south as well
as an option. It's not as direct.
Bird: Mr. President.
Wardle: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Under that, Mr. Siddoway, you are going to have stoplights at all the cross
streets there like at - so that the people can get across five lanes?
Siddoway: Not at all, then but the plan does propose that we look at at least one
additional one. There would have to be some provision for that traffic to get over
to Meridian Road and make that southbound movement.
Donnell: Mr. President.
Wardle: Ms. Donnell.
Donnell: Steve, I still am having a really hard time in my mind thinking how that
is going to work at Fairview and Main Street. So, would you just walk me through
that again, please? Let's just say that - since I am one of those people is
Meridian City Council Special Meeting

Page 18 of30
clogging up the roads as I come from any place east and I get off the Interstate
and I want to get to Cherry Lane, so that I can head west. So, tell me how I am
going to do this.
Siddoway: We have two options. The primary route for the through-traffic would
be to be on the one-way couplet and it would come over to the Meridian Road
and would just continue north or you would hit the intersection. The intersections
on both Main and Meridian between Fairview and the railroad tracks are two-way
streets. Main Street, you specifically asked about Main - Fairview intersection?
It is unchanged from what it is today in this alternative. You can see these
pullouts show graphically what the different road segments look like. So, there is
a center turn lane, one lane of each direction and on street parking in downtown.
That is what you have today and as you continued north on Main Street and hit
the intersection at Fairview it would look very much like it does today. The
Meridian - Fairview intersection would also be the same in that it is two-way, but
the main change is that Meridian becomes five lanes, where it is currently just a
two-lane facility.
Donnell: Thank you.
Wardle: Council? Again we have a number of options and certainly have had
excellent public testimony and we are, however, past our point in hour for this
meeting.
Rountree: Mr. President.
Wardle: Mr. Rountree.

Rountree: First interested in what Chris is after. You have a question?
Donnell: Mr. President.
Wardle: Ms. Donnell.
Donnell: Mr. Rountree, not after anything. Only that I am just extremely
compromised in my own mind about what is the right way to go and the more
information I get the better. I know, we have studied it to death, but frankly I

drive through town here. So, I really just enjoy getting more and more
information, but I was out-voted, so that's okay. I have been out-voted before.

hearing?
Donnell: Well, certainly not this evening and I am going to bring all these people
Bird: Well, I mean to a certain date?

Donnell: Oh, three of us, okay. I know that our staff and ACHD - you have done
a great job and plenty of nights and lots of hearings and public meetings and oh
my goodness, I don't want to have to put you through more of this, but here we
go. I am not going to make a motion.
Wardle: Ms. Donnell, if you do have, certainly, requests for more information is
something that, you need, we could accommodate, however, I would ask that if
you have some specific questions that you would like to ask either of staff or of
the public that could be addressed rather than re-opening an entire public
hearing, we could set a time for either at our next Pre-Council agenda at the
presented request.
Bird: Shaun, you could re-open that if you want to and if Christine feels she
would like something like that, I would be in favor of that.

can't get it solidified in my mind and maybe I just have to sleep on it or something
or drive it a lot more, I don't know. But, I have all the questions about the Ten
Mile Interchange because I really feel like that is going to come sooner than
perhaps many of us - might be dead by the time it gets here, but hopefully not, I
think it's coming sooner than that. I think that the Mayor has really been working
hard with ITD and to make that happen and the Locust Grove Interchange -
Wardle: -- Overpass.
Donnell: I mean overpass, sorry. I knew that too. But, Council I don't know that
I have any other questions. I think I pretty much have in my mind what - how it
will work, if it works. Does that make any sense?
Mayor: Uh huh.
Donnell: So, I don't know that it would do any good to continue with public
testimony. Don't give them my phone number. Just whatever the Council wants
to do.
Mayor: Mr. President.
Wardle: Madame Mayor.
Mayor: I guess I have a couple of things. First, we have heard the Ten Mile
mentioned several times tonight and it will help relieve it. It's not going to relieve
the traffic numbers long enough. We have to plan for the future and we have to
make a decision of the property owners, businesses, the future way of flowing
our traffic needs to know what's going to happen, so we do need to get on with it
and I guess I have a vote only if you tie. I would ask that everyone here be
reminded that we have a public commenting period going on right now on our
long range planning. The Ten Mile Interchange is on that document, both for the
transportation improvement plan that is accepting public comment through
COMPASS and also through the State Transportation Department called the
STIP and they are looking for public comment. Please comment. Please
comment on the Ten Mile. The more comments you give them, the more they
see the community support and certainly we need to continue to provide our
comment on how important that is to our community. I don't think it's going to
relieve the traffic on Main and Meridian and I will give you my little spill and then I
will shut up and then you guys can vote. I hope.
Bird: We haven't had a motion.
Mayor: Well, I know, but okay, make a motion. I grew up in a community that
had one-ways and it killed the downtown. It killed the downtown businesses, it
killed the residential around there. While certainly they have plenty of opportunity
(

to drive because the cars were just through-cars, there wasn't any "to" to go to.
They died. It is slowly 30 years later coming back, but it will never be the vibrant
downtown that it once was. We need to keep the majority of that traffic off. I
know that various people have offered testimony today and I agree with the a
little bit of all of them. One thing I do know is they will work with area businesses.
They will work with the area property owners. The woman from Star who had
some property on there, they will work with you. The Hungry Onion - I know the
Farmer's & Merchants building was also in that same film and unfortunately it will
be torn down in a couple of years when - as was a condition on the new
Farmer's & Merchants going up. But, it will be worked through and I think the
statement was made that not everyone is going to be happy, but no one is happy
not making a decision at this point. I think that the split corridor presents an
opportunity for an excellent gateway into downtown in setting a vision and setting
what the priorities of our community is and taking that traffic, that intense traffic
off of Main Street will open up potential and possibilities for a vibrant pedestrian-
oriented downtown, where families and people can come and gather and
socialize and where businesses can thrive without having to compete against the
number of cars going through that downtown. So, I see the split corridor as a
compromise. It does offer a vision, a potential gateway into a downtown that we
hope and we plan for with the Urban Renewal Agency to be vibrant and to
redevelop and to be something that Meridian citizens are proud of. I don't think a
one-way is going to accomplish that.
Bird: Mr. President.
Wardle: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I will stand up for the one-way for a little bit and I am not 100 percent
behind it, but Boise definitely wasn't hurt by one-way traffic, in fact, I think it
helped the downtown there. Their dead downtown was other problems, not one-
way traffic. I have never known a city that has went down. Bend, Oregon has
got a lot of one-way streets right now and they are a very vibrant, growing
community. I think this is something - I disagree with some people. I think that
Ten Mile is going to take a lot of our traffic out of Meridian. I think all your west
people, your Cherry Lane, your Rich Towers, all those people are going to get off
there. I think Locust Grove Overpass is going to alleviate a lot of downtown
traffic. Sure we want traffic to come to downtown and hopefully one of these
days we will have a downtown that encourages people to come down and be for
pedestrians and walk around the downtown area. So I don't think one-way either
makes your city or takes it down. That's alii can say.
Mayor: Just a follow up. I don't want to debate Mr. Bird.
Bird: I don't want to either.
(
Meridian City Council Special Meeting

Mayor: We love to debate, though. The difference between Meridian and Boise
is that we only have two options. We only have two roads and that's what we
found in Moscow is they have three and Boise has many. Their main roads that
are one-way that carry the traffic do not have pedestrian-friendly businesses.
Those are auto-oriented.
Bird: I didn't know you were talking about Moscow.
Mayor: Of course I was. That's where I grew up. Okay, just because your mind
is made up.
Bird: They want to go through on Saturdays in the fall.
Mayor: Some of us actually lived there and didn't go to school. But anyway, I
think that the disadvantage that Meridian has is that we do not have too many
roads that go through it. So, we are limited by that. You do not see the amount
of traffic that we have on both Main and Meridian right now on those interior
Boise one-way streets. You see the majority of that traffic going through on
Myrtle and Front and so I guess that's my only comment. We have a great
benefit in developing a downtown because of the limited roads and it also poses
a huge problem. I guess one final thing I would state is I don't think that on the
one-way corridor, we have really considered what happens when you get that
one-way traffic to Fairview and I know they have said right now they can handle it
with just the lights, but I think you are going to have to straighten that and merge
it into Meridian and take out a corner of a shopping center. So, that could be an
expensive adventure eventually as well.
Bird: Mr. President.
Wardle: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Mr. Little, how much of that estimate was Waltman? Wasn't it a couple 3
million or something out of each one of those?
Terry Little: It was a large amount.

like that?

Bird: Second to agree.
Wardle: Second would agree - with or withdraw-
Bird: To re-open.
Wardle: Public Hearing Item No.3 for question from staff. Mr. Little if you could
respond to Mr. Bird's question?
Terry Little: I am taking from my partner here that I am thinking it was around 3
or 3.5 million. It was a large part of it and the cost of the couplet was the three
lane, the sidewalks, drainage and those kind of things are where we are at.
Bird: And a lot of right-of-way on Meridian Road, right?
Terry Little: Some right-of-way, yes, on Meridian Road.
Bird: How much right-of-way do we have to purchase in one-way on Meridian
Road?
Terry Little: This is south of - part of south of Pine, mostly wasn't it?
Bird: You just stand to three aren't you?
Siddoway: The couplet used a typical 57-foot right-of-way section. The right-of-
way through the area varies quite a bit. Some of Meridian Road is three lanes, a
large portion of it from Fairview down to - well pretty much all the way to Franklin
is two-lanes and doesn't have a center turn currently. So, there is some
additional right-of-way needs there, although, there is some more right-of-way
than there is asphalt. But, there would be some additional right-of-way needs
along Meridian Road. I don't believe there is additional right-of-way needs along
Main; downtown they would use the existing right-of-way and there is minimal
right-of-way needs and then the curbing, gutters, sidewalks and storm water that
would be -
Bird: And then the couplet on Meridian Road you would basically if you took from
the west side would be taken half a block all the way down - am I not right?
Siddoway: For the couplet or for the split corridor?
Bird: For the split corridor or -
Siddoway: Yeah, the ACHD looked at both the east side and the west side
options for right-of-way acquisition and it was determined that the west side
would be about 1.5 million cheaper. We also started off looking at a standard
ACHD section of 96 feet for a five-lane road that did impact nearly every property
(
Meridian City Council Special Meeting

along the west side of Meridian Road. We then decided because of that to look
at a constrained section along Meridian Road of 80 feet, which is what the recent
improvements along Franklin Road are. That's an 80-foot right-of-way section
and I believe those ended up impacting about a third of the properties on the
west side.
Bird: Thank you guys, very much. But, one other question. Follow up please.
Wardle: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Waltman is in the plans regardless of which way this goes, am I not right?
Terry Little: Waltman was in the program that was taken out and everything that
was reprogrammed will have to be re-inserted - whatever goes in because there
is nothing in right now. It was - Phase one was built, Phase two was just
reprogrammed with other projects.
Bird: Thank you, Terry.
Siddoway: Mr. Chairman, I would add to that for Mr. Bird. We did try to address
Waltman Lane with all three options. The option that you've seen here is the
same under the one-way couplet and the split corridor. The five-lane Meridian
Road would have a different configuration with Main Street "t-ing" in north of this
intersection.
Bird: Thank you, Steve.
Rountree: Mr. President.
Wardle: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: Terry, I just have conferred with legal counsel and need to ask this
question. Would there be a possibility that federal highway dollars would be
used to construct this?
Terry Little: That's a possibility. One of the major sticking points has been the
issue of the NEPA process the National Environmental Policy Act tends to want
you to start over almost, historically. For instance, the Three Cities River
Crossing over there between Eagle and Glenwood, we had to basically throw
away all of our prior bench valley study and start looking at alternatives. I
understand there has been a decision within this last spring that attempts to
marry the planning process that's already been done with the federal aid
process. If that is the case, this would be more feasible to potentially be funded
with federal aid, but otherwise they say you start with a blank sheet of paper,
almost in terms of prior planning and have to go through all of it for environmental
(

analysis and so forth and I don't think anybody wants to try that. But, this latest
decision may make this feasible. I don't have any more information on that.
Rountree: Mr. President with that response, although I was hoping it was going
to be "no" I am going to have to declare a potential conflict.
Mayor: Well, there goes my opportunity.
Wardle: No tie vote for the Mayor.
(Inaudible discussion)
Wardle: Council, again, we have an open public hearing, Ms. Donnell if you have
a request for more information, this would be the time to potentially make that.
Donnell: No, Mr. President, I move that we close public hearing.
Bird: Second.
Wardle: It's been moved and seconded to close the Public Hearing on Item No.
3. All in favor? Opposed?
THREE AYES. ONE ABSTENTION, Mr. Rountree. MOTION CARRIED.
(Inaudible discussion)
Wardle: Again, let me review our options at this later hour in our meeting. We
have the opportunity to make this decision this evening with a motion from the
Council. Our next available meeting, if it were to be pushed out is August 9th.
Mayor: Mr. President.
Wardle: Madame Mayor.
Mayor: I guess we do want to make a decision if we are going to make one this
year because ACHD is starting their CIP process, their five year work program
and we do hope to get this in that, so we need to bring a recommendation
forward to ACHD so we can have it considered for that five-year work plan,
otherwise I guess you bought another year.
Wardle: I will take this opportunity just to make my personal comment as far as
decision making and having not voted on this, having been recently elected to
the Council, I see this as an opportunity to put into place a decision that could
have been made a while ago, could have solved some problems and certainly
has been studied in nearly every possible manner and I think that the community
as well as staff and the other partner agencies have done an excellent job

bringing as much information as possible for us to make a decision in which was
really a recommendation if we all remember correctly, a recommendation to the
Ada County Highway District. With that, I will move that the Meridian City
Council recommend to the Ada County Highway District that we choose the split
corridor,option for our Downtown Meridian Transportation Management Plan.
Donnell: I will second.
Wardle: Discussion?
Donnell: Comment?
Wardle: You bet.
Donnell: I have talked to a lot of the folks about the options and we all have
strong opinions about what may be will be the best, but doing nothing is
absolutely the worst thing that we can do and I think we need to move ahead. I
am not sure that the split corridor is the best. I don't like one-way streets, frankly,
and I certainly am not in favor of doing nothing, so with that I just wanted to make
that comment. I hope I can still come and have prime rib and Kahootz and get a
hamburger at the Hungry Onion because I like both those places a whole lot, so
- and I will get there one way or the other. So, that is my second.
Wardle: The reason for my motion and subsequent is that I feel the community
has invested in this process. The community has selected this option through a
number of public hearing, public input processes - my greatest concern and my
reluctancy for this vote is that this option currently as proposed is 11.6 million
dollars verses the 8.1 million dollars for a one-way couplet system. That is the
only reluctance in which I will vote in the affirmative for this motion. Having said
that, would we like a roll call vote?
Bird: Let's go.
Wardle: Mr. Berg, roll call vote.
Berg: Thank you Mr. President, members of the Council roll call vote: Wardle,
aye; Donnell, aye; Bird, nay and Rountree abstain.
Wardle: Motion passes in the affirmative. Thank you very much everyone for
providing your input.
Bird: Mr. President, I move that we continue the Item NO.4 for a date certain.
Canning: Sir, may I make a brief comment before you do that?

Wardle: Before we do that, I will direct legal staff to bring forward our decision in
a resolution on Item No.3, please for our decision and confirmation on August
9th. Anna, a brief comment before I move to change prerogative on Item 4?
Canning: On Item 2? Or is it 4? I am sorry. There are a number of people here
who have sat and waited through the previous hearing to testify. I would suggest
maybe a very brief presentation by staff, no more than five minutes just to explain
the materials that I have given you. You could take the testimony and then
continue the hearing. I am certainly not expecting a decision tonight. What I
would suggest is that you do set it over to a date certain and direct staff to
prepare an ordinance for first reading that would be available or that would be on
the agenda the same night as your continued hearing.
Wardle: Anna a question I have is that is it your understanding that the
individuals here tonight have some prepared statements?
Canning: Most of them have submitted statements in written form or I'll have
conversed with them. I don't anticipate anyone to have lengthy testimony of the
folks that I know that are here.
Wardle: My question is could we forego staff comments, take public comments
and continue the public hearing?
Canning: Certainly.
Wardle: With that, .Council, I will open Item No.4, Public Hearing on the
Application for Ordinance for a New Title 11 Unified Development Code - we will
forego staff comments, take brief public comments with the intention of
continuing our public hearing leaving it open for public comment to a date certain
to be decided shortly.
Item 4.
Public Hearing: Application for an Ordinance for a New Title
11 Unified Development Code replacing I repealing Title 11
Zoning Regulations and Title 12 Subdivision Development of
the Meridian City Code:
Wardle: If I could invite the first individual to comment on - if you could state
your name and address for the record, please.
Clair Bowman: Clair Bowman, 4400 W. Legacy Lane, Meridian. I am the
administrator for the Urban Renewal Agency, Meridian Development
Corporation. Mr. President, members of the Council, Mayor the Uniform
Development Code is a wonderful improvement in my estimation over what we
worked with in the past. The members of the Meridian Development Corporation
have not had an opportunity to act formally on it. I have engaged in a number of
discussions with them about several aspects of it. The only aspect, I believe I
I
Meridian City Council SpeciallVleeting

Page 28 of 30
would be empowered to comment on this evening has to do with the parking
requirements. The code as modified currently has no parking requirements. I
lauded that at the beginning because I think developers and landowners,
property owners have a better sense than what any of us in the public sector are
of what is needed. However, in the downtown area, our ability to use in lieu of
parking fees to help construct the parking garage or things like that that might be
needed as ancillary parking for businesses simply disappears if you have no
parking requirements in there. So, we would - again, I am speaking on individual
conversations and I am not acting, not speaking in direct behalf of the board
here. The general feeling is that to have a minimum level-parking requirement
added back in there for the Old Town area would be a desirable modification.
That's alii would have to offer. Other than that, go for it.
Wardle: Thank you Mr. Bowman and I believe that is an additional staff
recommendation?
Canning: Yes, sir and I forgot to get a copy of that to Mr. Bowman. I will send
him that.
Wardle: Is there anyone further who has prepared testimony for Item NO.4? Mr.
Turnbull if you will please state your name and address.
David Turnbull: David Turnbull, 12601 W. Explorer Drive. I want to echo a little
bit of what Clair said. I worked on the Process Improvement Group putting this
thing together and what seems like a fairly routine, simple process can turn into a
- there is just so much cross-referencing and reading and thinking about these
things that - how long did it take, Anna?
Canning: A year and one half. Just about two years, actually.
David Turnbull: But you on the Council on that are familiar with than since you
have a lot of reading material that you have to go through on a weekly basis. I
appreciate the opportunity to comment and I appreciate that it's late in the
session, so I am going to defer my comments since you are holding this over to a
future date. There are a few things that I would like to go over on with Anna, but
on the whole of your adoption of this, I think it's very well put together by Anna
and Diane. It reads really well, it's user friendly and it's a huge improvement. I
was comparing this to another municipalities proposed revisions just recently and
it's night and day, it's a great document. So, I will over the next probably two
weeks if that's what your deferral is, I will confer with Anna on a few points and
then if I have any other comments I will make them at that time. Thank you.
Wardle: Thank you and Mr. Turnbull we would like to thank you for your
commitment to the process and to helping that. Thank you for staying with us
through the proceeding hearing and I am going to ask if there are any other
people that would like to comment?

Mayor: Mr. President.
Wardle: Madame Mayor.
Mayor: I guess I would also like to recognize Mr. McKinnon and Mr. Bailey for
their participation as well. I know that a lot of time and dedication went into this
and in addition to Mr. Turnbull, they were extremely dedicated to making sure
that this was a document that our community would be proud of the end result. I
think even on behalf of the Council and the Mayor what it gives our staff is that it
empowers them to do their job and that's what we expect of them and I think that
this document and the revisions will help accomplish more than just a code
update.
Wardle: Thank you Madame Mayor with that members I would entertain a
motion to - if you could please state your name and address?
Sabrina Whitehead: My name is Sabrina Whitehead. I am a land-use planner
for WRG design for 53 Fitness Lane, Eagle Idaho. I do have one question. Is
this document going to be able to be reviewed by the public before it has become
into official ordinance?
Mayor: It's online.
Wardle: Yes it is and do you have a specific web address Anna?
Canning: It's cityofmeridian.org and then go to the Planning Department page
and it's right at the top in red. It's not flashing, but just about. It has been posted
there since June and you can also get paper copies through the Clerk's Office if
need be or you can get a CD copy through the Clerk's Office or through the
Planning Department.
Sabrina Whitehead: So, this is going to be deferred until two weeks and then
public comment, testimony can be placed on it?
Wardle: Public testimony will be - and if you could submit those directly to the
Clerk's Office they will be included in public record.
Sabrina Whitehead: Okay, thank you.

2. Placement of Western Heritaae Historic Bvway Sian in
Storey Park:
De Weerd: Item NO.2. Mr. Strong.
Strong: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. That same July 13th
Parks and Recreation Commission Meeting, the commission approved a request from
Aldis Garsvo to place a Western Heritage Historic Byway sign in Storey Park in
conjunction with the Initial Point sign that's already located in the park. The Western
Heritage Historic Byways constructed the sign, which are typical Idaho Transportation
Department signs, map boards, measures in overall height of ten feet, with a four foot
by eight food map board attached to the upper half. The Parks and Recreation
Commission is recommending that City Council approve placing the sign in Storey Park
in conjunction with the Initial Point sign. And that the supporting documentation for the
sign is attached to the item, so you could see what the sign looks like. So, with that I
would certainly entertain any questions about this particular proposal.
De Weerd: Mr. Strong, do you have a copy of that sign that you can display on the
overhead? I believe we also received a letter from the Chamber of Commerce. Is that
correct, Mr. Berg? Can we get it on the overhead so members of the public can --
Donnell: Do you know how to work the overhead? I wouldn't know how to work it.
De Weerd: Anna does.
Strong: What's being shown on the screen is a typical Highway Scenic Byway Highway
Department sign. Once it comes into focus.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Bird.
Bird: Doug, where in Meridian is that scenic byway?
Strong: The Scenic Byway starts at Interstate 84 and, then, goes to Kuna and down to
the Snake River.
Bird: It starts on Meridian Road there at the overpass or starting at Overland and going
down?
Strong: I certainly don't know the exact beginning of the Byway, but it shows the
intersection on Interstate 84 and, then, where it heads south on Meridian-Kuna Road
toward the river.
Bird: It doesn't go through Store Park or anything like that?
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 8 of 72
Strong: No. They are just looking for a location for people that would be interested in
traveling on the scenic byway, that they could get information about how to get on the
byway and get down to the river. I mean I don't have no problem with putting it in
Storey Park, but is that -- I mean how many people are going to see it?
Donnell: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mrs. Donnell.
Donnell: Councilman Bird, the discussion at the parks commission meeting was that
since that's also the visitor's center for Meridian, that many people might see that as
they stopped and asked for other kinds of information.
Bird: Well, I tell you that went over my head. I forgot about that deal.
Strong: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, actually, Mr. Garsvo, who made the
presentation, indicated that not including Meridian on this byways map was a bit of an
oversight. But the signs have already been produced. So, it would be difficult to go
back and include Meridian per se on the signs, as I recall.
Bird: I think Councilwoman Donnell just cleared it up for me.
De Weerd: Okay. Are there any further questions? Okay. Do we have a
recommendation?
Donnell: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mrs. Donnell.
Donnell: I'd like to make a recommendation that we allow the placement of the Western
Heritage Historical Byway Sign in Storey Park, with the Parks Director's direction -- oh,
that was good. In terms of where it's going to be placed in the park. Okay.
Bird: I second that.
De Weerd: Okay. There is a motion to approve. Mr. Berg, will you, please, call roll on
this item.
Roll-Call: Bird, aye; Rountree, aye; Wardle, aye; Donnell, aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
3. Update on Park Development Projects with Kiwanis,
Meridian Youth Baseball, Adventure Island Playground,
and Police Athletic League by Doug Strong:
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 9 of 72
De Weerd: Okay. And last, but not least, Mr. Strong.
Strong: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. The last item is an item
that we discussed two weeks ago regarding park development. Projects to bring parks
that were currently in partnership with different organizations to a level of being greened
up and usable. And as you recall, we have talked about Kiwanis Park and Hero's Park
with the Pal Soccer complexes going and Meridian Youth Baseball on the west side of
Settler's Park. And, then, Adventure Island Playground to get Adventure Island
Playground phase two completed. So, as we went through that discussion we talked
about where these projects are currently and I gave you information about work that had
currently been done as in this slide with Kiwanis Park and the accomplishments that
have been done to date at Kiwanis Park and, of course, they all vary in different stages
of completion. Also showed you money currently in budget and to bring it to a level of
essentially what we are calling Green Up, what we would be looking for that would be
an unfunded difference that would be requesting funds from the park impact fees to
green up these parks.
De Weerd: And, Doug, that is paved parking?
Strong: And what you asked me to do is go back and come up with numbers that would
show paved parking. What I showed -- and, actually, Kiwanis Park was a paved parking
lot. Hero's Park and Meridian Youth Baseball was gravel parking lot. So, without going
through each of these slides again, unless you have questions about them, I went
through and --
De Weerd: No, we don't need you to --
Strong: -- put in numbers for paved parking and changed the last slide, which is a
summary of the numbers, which is I think what you're really interested in. And that
gives you a total based on the most current figures that we have either from engineers
or construction companies for these projects.
Donnell: Great.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you, Doug. Any questions for Doug at this point? Council?
Rountree: None.
Bird: I have none.
De Weerd: Okay. Do we have direction for the --
Donnell: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mrs. Donnell.
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 10 of 72
Donnell: I'd like to make a motion that we authorize the expenditure of the park impact
fee fund to -- not to complete, but to do the work as outlined by the Parks Department.
And to amend the budget to do so.
Bird: Second.
Donnell: And the amount is $1,482,429.
Bird: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you. Is there any discussion? Hearing none, Mr. Berg, will
you, please, call roll.
Roll-Call: Bird, aye; Rountree, aye; Wardle, aye; Donnell, aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.

Item 8:
Reauest for Reconsideration from Parks Commission reaardina
Messina Meadows Subdivision:
De Weerd: Thank you, Council. The items moved from the Consent Agenda were
moved to Item 8. They are G, H and I. Item 8 is a request for reconsideration. Anna
or Bill. Mr. Nary.
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 11 of 72
Nary: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, you have a letter above that directed by
the Parks Commission to be sent to you in regard to the issue that you had placed
before them on whether or not the property that was being proposed for a park site in
Messina Meadows would be public space -- a public park or a private homeowners
park. In there they have asked you to reconsider the whole project. And, essentially,
remanded back to Planning and Zoning and they would like the opportunity to consider
that as a public park. That wasn't in the original motion by this Council. You certainly
have the ability to do that. The record, though, doesn't really reflect that that was the
intent of the Council in sending it to the Parks Commission. And in this letter they do
also indicate that they recognize that it wasn't what your original intent was, but that was
simply a desire of the Parks Commission. And that if you didn't wish to remand the
matter or reconsider it or remand the matter, then, you would not consider this for public
open space and that this would be a private homeowners park. You may also want to
consider and Councilmember Donnell would probably be the better one for that and
whether or not you want to direct staff, Parks Department, legal department, Planning
and Zoning, to coordinate on process to have these projects brought to the parks
commission or the front and of the discussion when the opportunity to actually design
the park around the residential lots that they want to build could actually be done at a
more economical and timely manner. So, if you wanted to do that as additional --
additional tasks coming from this discussion, you certainly can do that as well. But
that's really what's in front of you, is simply a request for reconsideration. You can do
that if you wish or you may take the alternative that's proposed as well.
De Weerd: Okay. Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: Madam Mayor, I believe I made that motion. My recollection of that motion
was that -- and the acceptance was that Council agreed with the subdivision and the
layout of the subdivision and all the things that it brought as amenities to the city. I did
leave as I understand an opportunity for the city to, if they would like to, to take that park
over as a public park. It did not obligate the city to do so. My preference at this time,
first off, on this particular application, would be to approve the Findings as the motion
was made. If the developer would like to reconsider where that park would be and meet
with the staff then and, then, ask for reconsideration certainly at their request, I believe it
would be fair. However, I believe that this Council approved that application on its
merit. Incidentally, I do agree that if we could have some sort of process on the front
end to allow the Parks Commission to see these applications beforehand and try to
formalize what that would look like, I would be in favor of such a procedure.
De Weerd: Okay. Anything further?
Nary: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Nary.
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 12 of 72
Nary: Just for clarification, Madam Mayor, Councilmember Wardle, and that is the way
the Findings are reflected. That it was simply a decision of public versus private space.
And that was your motion. So, you certainly can approve the Findings as written. And
the decision is you can certainly -- may want to put that on the record as well. If your
decision is to accept the recommendation from the Parks Commission, you could
certainly do that here and that would be part of the staffs consideration when the final
plat were to be brought forward.
Donnell: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mrs. Donnell.
Donnell: Having been in on the discussion at the Parks Commission, as well as the
long discussion that we had on Messina Meadows last time, the issue -- I mean there
were several. It's more than just whether it's public or a neighborhood park, private
homeowners park, but the whole issue about how those parks are viewed when they
are embedded in a subdivision. And, then, as you read the letter, there is other issues
that the Commission has with the fact that we approved it the way it is. So, let me see if
I can understand, Mr. Nary, what you were saying. And that is that we can approve the
recommendation as it is, which does accept the park as a public park. Accept the land
as a public park. Did I understand that correctly? No?
Mr. Nary: No.
Donnell: Okay.
Nary: Madam Mayor, Councilmember Donnell, what the Findings said was prior to the
final plat a decision has to be made on whether it be public space or private space.
Donnell: Thank you. That was the motion that--
Nary: Yes. And that's what the finding was.
Donnell: Is that what you said, Shaun?
Wardle: That's what I said.
Donnell: Okay. Okay. That was my comment.
De Weerd: Okay. Anything further by Council? Then I would need a motion.
Bird: Madam Mayor, what would you need, a motion to approve 8 G, H and I, would
you not? No.8? I mean the recommendation?
De Weerd: If you don't want to consider the request I certainly need a motion, too.
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 13 of 72
Bird: Well, I wasn't here and I didn't vote on it, so I can't make a motion.
Wardle: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: I would make the motion that we approve Item 8 G, H and I, with the Findings.
Donnell: And I will second that.
De Weerd: Okay. There is a motion to approve G, H and I from the Consent Agenda.
Is there any further discussion? If not --
Rountree: Madam Mayor, just before--
De Weerd: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: -- I vote, I wanted to make sure that what I heard is what I heard. And the
Findings do not commit the City of Meridian to make a public space that will be a private
space until the final plat is --
Bird: Is designed. Yeah.
Rountree: Is designed and, then, there is an opportunity for the city to either agree or
disagree further.
Wardle: And, Mr. Rountree, I believe the Findings, as I understand from the motion, are
to allow the city the option at their will to do that and before the final plat to make that
determination. Does that make sense? And, Mr. Nary; is that correct?
Nary: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes.
Nary: Maybe this will clear it up. What the Findings say is Lot 21, Block 1, of the
proposed Messina Meadows Subdivision, dated March 14, 2005, is shown as a city
park. Prior to submitting a final plat, the applicant shall bring the proposal before the
Meridian City Park Commission for a recommendation to the Meridian City Council to
ultimately approve of Lot 21, Block 1, becoming a public park or if it is to remain as an
open space common lot maintained by the homeowners association. So, they have
done that, they have brought that forward with that recommendation. You can certainly
direct staff, if you wish to accept that recommendation that it not be a public park, which
is what is in front of you in the letter for reconsideration, you could certainly direct staff
to receive the recommendation it would not be a public park and you won't accept that
and, then, no one will question what your intention was.
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 14 of 72
De Weerd: Okay.
Bird: I agree with the attorney.
Wardle: And that was the intent of the maker of the motion. Does the second --
Donnell: Second agrees.
De Weerd: Okay. Mr. Berg, will you call roll.
Roll-Call: Bird, aye; Rountree, aye; Wardle, no; Donnell, aye.
De Weerd: I will vote aye. You have already voted on this. So--
Bird: Well, are you agreeing to that letter, then?
De Weerd: No. They just approved --
Bird: I know. They didn't agree to it. So, ifs got to come back; right?
Nary: No.
De Weerd: No.
Donnell: It just has to go to the Parks Commission.
Nary: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, what the letter said was they would like
you to reconsider it. If you don't want to reconsider it, their recommendation was that it
not be a public park.
Donnell: Right.
Nary: We were voting on the Findings.
De Weerd: We were voting on the Findings.
Nary: Yes. I understand. And the Findings say your decision is to let it -- to have a
recommendation be made by the Parks Commission. So, if you want to accept that
recommendation you can certainly put that on the record if you want.
De Weerd: And that's what he said was--
Nary: Yes.
De Weerd: -- was the intent of this motion.
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 15 of 72
Nary: Right.
Bird: That wasn't what his motion said. His motion accepted the Findings of Fact as
stated.
De Weerd: With the--
Bird: Not -- he didn't say anything about with.
De Weerd: Yes, you did. He corrected that after Mr. Nary noted that and he said that
was included in his motion.
Bird: Okay. I misunderstood.
De Weerd: And the second agreed, so--
Bird: Okay.
De Weerd: So, that motion carries.
MOTION CARRIED: TWO AYES. TWO NAYS. MAYOR AYE.

05-043. I will -- and, actually, we have letters on Items 9, 10, and 11. Do you have
agreement on 12 from --
Canning: Yes. It's a request for time extension, so there is no condition.
De Weerd: I will go ahead and consider a motion on Items 9, 10, and 11 of the staff
comments that have been agreed to by the individual applicant, so --
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 16 of 72
Wardle: So moved.
De Weerd: Thank you. Is there a second?
Bird: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. The motion is to approve Items 9, 10, and 11. Mr. Berg, will you call
roll.
Roll-Call: Bird, aye; Rountree, aye; Wardle, aye; Donnell, aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Item 12:
TE 05-007 Request for a One Year Time Extension for CUP 03-048 for
Buich Subdivision (aka Cherry Lane Office Park Subdivision) by
Pinnacle Engineers, Inc. - 2150 Cherry Lane:
De Weerd: Okay. Item 12 is a request for an extension. Mrs. Canning.
Canning: I'm sorry, Madam Mayor. I meant to try and tell you that this could have been
included in the last motion. It's just a request for a time extension and staff has no
objection. So, there is no conditions of approval for the applicant to comply with, other
than the original one.
De Weerd: Did they have a reason?
Canning: You know, ma'am, they didn't give me this file today. If you give me a
moment J can look it up. I think I do have something. I wasn't prepared for you to ask
that question tonight.
De Weerd: And there is a reason?
Canning: There we go. Sorry about that. This is -- although it's called Butte
Subdivision, it's the Cherry Lane Office Park, and the original approval was for a nursing
home facility for up to 40 patients and five office pads. The -- it was approved February
10th. And the 18 months is soon over. The applicant states that the reason for the
delay in commencing construction is that the site layout was modified in that a lot was
removed in order to make the project more marketable, which required revision of the
improvement plans. For this reason they are unable to meet the time requirements.
De Weerd: Okay. Council, any questions?
Rountree: I have none.
Bird: None.
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 17 of 72
De Weerd: Okay.
Canning: I would like to comment that the site does work much better with the removed
lot.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Hearing no discussion, I move that we approve TE 05-007, a one-year time
extension to July -- or August 1 st, 2006.
Rountree: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. The motion is to approve. Mr. Berg, roll call.
Roll-Call: Bird, aye; Rountree, aye; Wardle, aye; Donnell, aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Item 13:
Public Hearing: PFP 05-003 Request for Preliminary Final Plat approval
for 2 building lots on 1.84 acres in a I-L zone for Marce Subdivision by
James Wylie - southwest corner of Fairview Avenue and North Eagle
Road:
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you. Item 13 is a Public Hearing. I will go ahead and open
the Public Hearing on PFP 05-003 and start with staff comments.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, this is called Marce Subdivision. It's,
actually, just a re-subdivision of portions of the lot in the existing Krispy Kreme
Subdivision. It's been reconfigured -- the lots have been reconfigured a number of ways
and staff felt it was best that they just come in with a new plat, rather than trying to do
reduction in plating requirements. This is a combined preliminary and final plat. It's just
a two-lot plat. Basically, one and two. It's a very straight-forward two lot subdivision.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval at their June 16th
hearing. There was no key issues of discussion and to our knowledge there are no
outstanding issues before Council. I do believe we have a couple certificate of zoning
compliances that were waiting for this to get approved, so we can issue them. So, with
that I will answer any questions you may have.
De Weerd: Council, do you have any questions?
Rountree: I have none.
Bird: I have none, Mayor.
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 18 of 72
De Weerd: This is a Public Hearing. Is the applicant here this evening? If you will,
please, state your name and address.
Wiley: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, my name is James Wiley, 1676 North
Clarendon, Eagle, Idaho. And we agree with all the facts and findings in this subdivision
and ask for your approval and I'm here to answer any questions that you -- if you have
any.
De Weerd: Okay. Council, any questions for the applicant?
Bird: I have none.
Rountree: I have none.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you so much. Is there anyone who would like to provide
testimony on this application? Seeing none --
Rountree: Madam Mayor, seeing no additional --
De Weerd: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: -- testimony, I move that we close the Public Hearing for Item No. 13.
Bird: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. Motion to close on item 13. All those in favor say aye. All ayes.
Motion carries.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
De Weerd: Any discussion?
Wardle: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: I move that we approve Item No. 13, PFP 05-003.
Donnell: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. Motion to approve Item 13. Is there any discussion? Mr. Berg, will
you call roll.
Berg: Are there findings prepared?
De Weerd: Are there findings on this item, Mr. Nary?
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 19 of 72
Bird: Yes.
Rountree: Yes.
De Weerd: Okay.
Berg: So, I assume that includes Findings. Thank you.
Roll-Call: Bird, aye; Rountree, aye; Wardle, aye; Donnell, aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Item 14:
Public Hearing: PFP 05-002 Request for Preliminary I Final Plat
approval for three building lots on 5.93 acres for Monica Subdivision by
B2 Investments, LLC - north of West Franklin Road and west of North
Under Road:
De Weerd: Okay. Item 14 is Public Hearing PFP 05-002. I will open the Public Hearing
with staff comments
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, before I discuss this item, I have to
explain that this was originally submitted by B&A Engineers, but they have released this
project to Skinner Land Surveying. So, I no longer have a conflict of interest. This is
Monica Subdivision. It is located on north of Franklin Road and west of Linder. It's
close -- it's south of the~ railroad tracks as you see there. It is a combined preliminary
and final plat. They are proposing three building lots on 5.93 acres. This is Lot 1 and,
then, 2 and 3. The lots range in size from .4 to 2.72 acres. It will accommodate three
commercial sites. P&Z has recommended approval with conditions. The key issue -- or
the discussion of the Planning and Zoning Commission was the ACHD requirement to
move the proposed driveway 30 feet north. And to our knowledge there are no
outstanding issues before Council. Another straightforward -- this is an industrial
subdivision. There have been a number of parcels split in this area that mayor may
not be legal and this just cleans up the rest of them, so it's a good clean up plat.
De Weerd: Anna, does that road continue west?
Canning: I don't believe so.
De Weerd: Is it a private road?
Canning: I think we actually approved this as a private road. And maybe the applicant
can answer that more. I believe there is a property at the end that takes access from it,
but I think it ends here, but the property does take access from it. And that would be
that property right there, I think.
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 20 of 72
De Weerd: Now, you mentioned --
Canning: Oops. No.
De Weerd: There was commercial -- that's industrial, isn't it?
Canning: Yeah. I just mean commercial as in not residential. As a business. It's
industrially zoned. I'm sorry.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you. Any questions for staff?
Bird: I have none.
De Weerd: Is the applicant here this evening? If you will, please, state your name and
address.
Jones: Sure, Chad Jones. 2250 Grassy Branch, Meridian. I'm representing the
applicant Skinner Land Survey. And I guess to answer your question as far as the road,
that is a non-continuous private road. It's only meant to service the storage and parking
area along the west side of the parcel. The parcel to the west is accessed off of
Franklin. It's non-continuous. I believe it's -- this parcel is not -- is non-developed and
they are not planning on developing anytime soon. This is our parcel right here. I
believe we --
De Weerd: Okay. Anna. I'm sorry, sir. On that piece that's, then, behind it, they have
an easement down to Franklin. Is that going to be -- have a traffic light there? Do you
know is that where the bus garage comes out?
Jones: I don't remember. The bus garage comes out -- I thought the bus garage
came out right about in here.
Bird: That little triangle is the bus property, isn't it?
Jones: I thought the bus garage was right here.
Bird: Yeah.
De Weerd: No. It's behind.
Bird: Is it over?
Rountree: It's in the triangle piece.
Bird: In the triangular.
Jones: This one?
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 21 of 72
Rountree: No.
Bird: No. The one right there.
Rountree: North.
Bird: North.
Rountree: North and west.
Bird: That right there.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I have not ever heard a light
discussed for the bus facility. I think -- I haven't heard of one discussed. That's all [
can say at this point. I can do some more research if you want me to. I'm not terribly
familiar with this area, I have to admit.
De Weerd: I guess J just remembered some access to the Under in those back
properties.
Jones: There was a cross-access agreement once they got between -- or over these
parcels accessing this westerly line. I don't recall that going anywhere. I'm not sure
there was --
Donnell: Where is the railroad tracks?
De Weerd: It's just to the north of those parcels.
Donnell: The bus garage is back towards the railroad tracks. It's not that.
Bird: Christine, which was the bus? Isn't it over there on the --
Donnell: Shoot. [think--
De Weerd: It's that one. Right there.
Bird: And didn't you guys buy it out all to Franklin there?
Donnell: Yes. All the way out and --
De Weerd: SSC.
Donnell: And this is the road that goes down.
Bird: Yeah. Okay.
Meridian City Council
July 26. 2005
Page 22 of 72
Donnell: So -- and I had never heard of any discussion of having a light there either.
Even when we were building it.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, we have discussed a separate
access with the school district, so that the right out turns could flow freely and, then, the
left out turns could stack at the existing driveway location, but I haven't ever discussed a
light with the school district at that location.
De Weerd: Okay. Well, sorry I even mentioned it. I guess my whole point is I vaguely
remember an access from Under to that back property. If that back property is going to
gain an easement on that road from the bus garage, I thought in discussions about that
one piece of property they had to have access out to Under as well.
Bird: No. Remember, we come off of Franklin there and went up the east side of
Interstate Batteries with an easement to that back property.
Donnell: Okay.
De Weerd: So, they are not land locked.
Bird: No. They are not land locked.
Canning: And, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I'm looking through the ACHD
report. They do not discuss that. And they are -- we know that is something they
consider. I think Mr. Bird was right in that that subdivision that went on just with or
beside the school district's property did include an easement going north.
Rountree: Gary's shaking his head.
Canning: Let's see. B&A did that. Chad, do you remember? It does? It goes north?
Okay.
De Weerd: Mr. ACHD is nodding.
Donnell: Moving right along.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you, sir. Is there any public testimony on this application?
Okay. Thank you.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Hearing none, I move that we close Item 14, Public Hearing.

Item 15:
Public Hearing: VAR 05-011 Request for a Variance to allow a second
free-standing monument sign on the same street frontage for .K!.n9.
Electric Sians for King Electric Signs - 2200 South Cobalt Pointe Way:
De Weerd: Okay. Item 15 is a Public Hearing on VAR 05-011. I will open the Public
Hearing with staff comments.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, this is a variance request on the --
the agenda states that it's to allow a second freestanding monument sign on the same
street frontage for which would be -- that was the applicant's initial request. Staff's initial
staff report, which you may have received, was for denial of that second monument
request. Staff was unable to make the findings in order to recommend approval to you
all. After working with the applicant, staff has modified the variance request to allow a
larger size sign for a directional sign for city -- the City Corporation area or campus.
Staff was able to make the findings for this variance. I'm having technical difficulties.
There we go. I think my -- either all my batteries are going today or something. I'm not
sure what's going on. This is a portion of the City Corporation campus. It's a much
larger site. As you know, the existing monument sign is here. This would be the
proposed location for the directional sign. The directional sign does look like this. It
would be larger than the allowed four square feet. The reason staff was able to make
the findings for recommending approval for the variance were basically that this is an
unusual site and that it is a single tenet site. It's our largest just single tenant site in
Meridian. And also it's a very large structure. So, you know, this same size directional
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 24 of 72
sign that we would see on a 3,000 square foot fast food restaurant just didn't seem
appropriate for the large structure that is City Corporation at this point. So, staff has
recommended that you approve this variance. To our knowledge there are no other
outstanding issues before Council.
De Weerd: Okay. Any questions for staff?
Bird: [have none.
Rountree: I have none.
De Weerd: Is the applicant here tonight? If you will, please, state your name and
address.
Harold: Ron Harold. King Electric Signs. 103 7th Avenue South in Nampa, Idaho.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Harold: I would just ask that the Council take staffs recommendations. And I'm just
here to answer any questions they you may have.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you. Any questions for the applicant?
Donnell: Huh-uh.
Bird: I have none.
De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. Is there anyone who would like to provide testimony on
this application? Hearing none? I have to ask. Sorry. Okay. Council?
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I move we close Public Hearing No. 15.

Page 26 of 72
Rountree: We have that on record now.
Canning: It's going to be a long night, isn't it? Madam Mayor, Members of the Council,
this is Silver Oaks project. It's located on the north side of Franklin Road and, then,
west of Ten Mile. You will see another application tonight that will be just immediately
to the east. So, that will take us out to Ten Mile. It has very limited frontage on Franklin
Road as you see. The request that is before you is for annexation and zoning,
conditional use, and for a planned development and preliminary plat approval. The
annexation and zoning is for 28.65 acres to R-15 and L-O and the R-15 would be
generally in this northern -- there is a little public street here toward the south end of the
property. The L-O would be in the southern portion. The R-15 would be the northern
portion. This little inset goes right there. For the Conditional Use Permit is a request to
allow 77 multi-family structures. So, that's a total of 308 individual units or dwelling
units. The amenities for the multi-family units include a clubhouse and a pool, a court
area and a fitness center and the landscape plan as we go through there is a little
better, you can see the portion of the land, the court area, and the clubhouse. There is
a fair amount of open space on the property. The road curves around rather than
intersecting at right angles, so it creates a nice flowing pattern for the open space. It's a
little hard to tell, because I had to break it up to get it in the slides. But you can see it
there. I will go with the front one a little bit. The road pattern comes like this, loops
around, comes back around this way, and, then, down and connects with the public
street. And there is a little one that goes through here, too. So, the lighter areas are all
the open space areas. There is also a proposed pathway system through the park and
you can see that connected in various spots. On the remainder of the site, the applicant
is proposing five nonresidential uses. One would be for a day care and, then, four.
There is the day care and, then, four other buildings. The applicant at this time has
requested that all four of these buildings be allowed on a single lot. All the multi-family
is one lot and all the office or nonresidential is on another lot. So, it's only a two-lot
subdivision. They have indicated that their intent is to come back through with
condominium plats for individual ownership, rather than a lotted plat. And, then, the
planned development was needed for the frontage requirements for the L-O buildings
and as well as for the multi-family. The gross residential density of that portion above
the public street is 12.62 units per acre. This is designated as high density residential
on the Comprehensive Plan, so it is within that designation. The proposed square
footage for the nonresidential uses is 15,080. And, then, again, the number of
commercial buildings -- and commercial being not single family residential, those used
for commerce, I suppose, is the four office, the one day care, and, then, the 77
structures. Just to note that there is a revised preliminary plat and site plan of June
22nd, '05. And I do have some elevations. These are the multi-family units on the top
and, then, the two story structures of the multi-family and the single story structures of
the office. This is the plat. How exciting is that. Sorry. This is the one and two lots
there. Okay. The Planning and Zoning Commission has recommended approval with
conditions and that was at their June 16th, 2005, hearing. There was quite a bit of
discussion. So, I have got quite a bit to read to you now. Most of this was in your
summary sheet, so I will go over it briefly. But the discussion was there was discussion
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 27 of 72
on whether there should be a private street or a public street. They have changed that
to a public street and submitted a revised plan. They also discussed the vehicular
circulation with the day care. There is the day care. And cross-access from the church
site and the storage site to the private road system. Go to the overall one. Right now
the public road comes up to about here and, then, heads west. Another private road
continues up and connects with the south end of the storage property. This is the
storage property. So, it does provide an access to the rear portion of that storage
property. And there is a cross-access provision with the church, which is later on in the
agenda, but that's the property to the east. There was also discussion about the
addressing of the units. As well as parking and landscaping and whether they would be
leased or whether they would be a condominium plat. And, then, also pedestrian
accessibility from the common area to the multi-family units. The overall traffic
circulation for the mid block on Franklin Road and, then, the Kennedy Lateral status and
feasibility of bridging the public road to the west. And that's where that public street
comes in. Here it is. This is the whole -- the landscaping plan doesn't reflect the public
street now, so I had better go up. Where this public street comes through it does stub.
I did want to point out that ACHD did not make it a condition of approval, but there is a
specific note to the city, and they state that the applicant, if the city wants them to make
this a public street, which the Planning and Zoning Commission did, then, this -- then,
the applicant should construct a stub to the Kennedy Lateral and should road trust for
one half the cost of the bridge to cross the lateral. And staff does recommend that the
City Council make this a condition of approval, because it's not listed as a condition right
now in ACHD, it's just a note to the city. The Commission did make several minor
changes to the staff report regarding unnecessary conditions. A lot of them are related
to revising the site plan. And, then, clarification of landscaping. Also Public Works
asked for clarification on the development agreement conditions that the applicant
agreed to pay for all sewer, main line extensions to the property, in addition to serve
extensions on the property. And that because there is not sewer to the site currently,
there is sewer to the north that is expected and I believe is expected to come down Ten
Mile as well. And I will let Len answer those questions if you need some answers. We
did receive a new layout with the public street, the one that is on before you tonight.
And the revised layout also addressed the fire department concerns for accessing the
building in the northwest corner of the site right at this little tinny one. The roads do
converge up there and they improved the access. So, again, the major outstanding
issue before Council is that one that I noted about road trusting for half the bridge.
Otherwise, I think staff and the applicant and the Planning and Zoning Commission
were able to come up with conditions of approval that addressed almost everyone's
concerns. And I will answer any questions you may have.
De Weerd: Any questions for staff?
Bird: I have none, Mayor.
De Weerd: Any comments from the fire department or police department? No?
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 28 of 72
Canning: Madam Mayor, I would add. I think if you had an opportunity to read the staff
report or the memo that I did for the Unified Development Code at all, I think this is likely
to be one of those developments where the fire department would take -- make use of
that ability for them to require a private street on existing developments for the purpose
of addressing. I think this is exactly the kind of situation where they would like to have
some sort of private street naming ability, so that they can locate these units more
effectively.
De Weerd: The fire department is concurring with that statement. Okay. Anything
further? Is the applicant here? Please state your name and address.
McKinnon: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. Dave McKinnon. 735
South Crosstimber. If I have learned anything addressing you guys in the last few years
is that keep it short and sweet. We have read the staff report and we are in agreement
with it. All the comments that Anna just made we are in agreement with those and we
are more than happy to add that condition of approval stating that we would trust for half
of the bridge across the Kennedy Lateral and provided a revised site plan that shows
that we would bring the public street right to that point and stub out. And the final
comment that Councilman Rountree agreed to with the fire department with consensus
among, for the private street and adding some naming there so you can address it more
correctly. We have no problem with that. And we are in agreement with that. And we
would ask for your support and your approval tonight.
De Weerd: Wow. That's new. A question for you?
McKinnon: Okay.
De Weerd: This is prime railroad property with railroad in the back. And certainly I
know this conforms to our Comp Plan, but as you know being city staff before, comp
plans, there are reasons to change them. And they are not changed in a very timely
form. We have a prime freight corridor with that railroad. And I guess my question to
you would be, I understand the mixed use and that sort of thing and that the city is
starting to shift it's thinking about having residential up against the rail corridor. Why
did you make that whole piece -- well, most -- the large majority of that piece all
residential?
McKinnon: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, you make some great comments
there. You have your Comp Plan and sometimes it's easier to not fight against the
Comp Plan and just to go straight with that. The Comp Plan shows this entire area as
multi-family. So, that's the direction we went with this is because the Comprehensive
Plan directs us to do that. There is a large amount of industrial land further to the west
of this project. I'm looking at it on your Comp Plan right now. The large amount of it
further to the west in addition to that on the north side of this project. This is all single
family along the north. And, then, this triangular shaped piece below, this is also shown
as multi-family. Part of the reason the multi-family I believe is located here is we have
the Ten Mile interchange that's happening and we are going to have a large amount of
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 29 of 72
service industry at the retail that's going to be generated in this area. It's all in your
Comprehensive Plan. It's either commercial or mixed use regional, which means you're
going to have a lot of service, industrial, retail. People that work in those industries
need to have a place to live. They typically can't afford to live in the single-family rental
units. They are a great location for that. So, rather than having a whole bunch of
people have to drive to this location like they have to do to Wal-Mart and other such, like
St. Luke's, they are providing housing near the service industry. That's another good
reason to have that. Immediately to the west of this, this is all zoned as industrial -- not
zoned by designated as industrial on your comprehensive map, because I think it's
important actually to have this diversity of housing and to have some multi-family
housing, it's affordable housing for those people that could be in the service industry.
De Weerd: Well, I'm not disagreeing that a mixture is good, but that is, again, prime
railroad property and that freight is an important ingredient to the business community.
Council just approved a budget request for next year to study this area and see how it
connects and what works best for it. And I admit since the Comprehensive Plan was
adopted, Councilman Bird and I have had the opportunity to travel that rail corridor with
Idaho Northern, who is the leaseholder to that corridor, and it is an important ingredient
to the health and vitality of our city. And this is one area that does need to be visited.
Another component of riding that rail corridor was seeing residential backed clear up to
that -- that rail corridor. I might say that some of the decisions we made to put
residential up there seem -- especially when we saw what happened along there and
the burning of the fence was quite compelling, gave reason to think, yeah, maybe this
isn't the best place for residential up so close. Now, should it be connected because of
a future public transportation? Yeah. It should. But should it be a butted to the rail
corridor, I think this Council needs to reconsider that and that's what we hope to
accomplish in that Ten Mile area plan. That we will be doing this spring or next fall or
whenever it's going to happen. So, I guess that is what our Comprehensive Plan
showed that those are living documents and they do change. And, unfortunately, when
you grow as fast as we have grown, those changes don't change as quickly as they
probably should or could. And that's my statement along with the question of why you
put residential up against rail corridors. So, Council, do you have any questions for
Dave?
Bird: I have none.
Rountree: I have none.
De Weerd: No questions.
McKinnon: Okay.
De Weerd: Thank you.
McKinon: Thank you.
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 30 of 72
De Weerd: Is there further testimony on this application? Okay. If there is no further
testimony on this application, do you have any final comment? Okay. Council, do you
have any final questions?
Bird: I have none.
Donnell: I do.
De Weerd: Okay. Mrs. Donnell.
Donnell: Madam Mayor, I do. Dave, so you really think you can rent those back there
with the railroad going through?
McKinnon: Sure.
Donnell: Sure?
McKinnon: Sure. We wouldn't do it otherwise.
Donnell: And considering the fact that I have a 90-year-old mother-in-law who lives on
the other side of the railroad tracks in a big apartment complex, they haven't had any
problem renting it either. I'm not quite sure, Mayor, what your concerns are about.
Were you talking about fire or something going to -- did I fall asleep there for a second
or something?
De Weerd: There was a fire. We were traveling on the rail corridor and there was some
kids being very creative burning the fence.
Donnell: Oh, I remember that. Which is not unlike when I was traveling along Chinden
Boulevard and saw a fire in -- a bush set on fire by the apartments that are right there at
-- before you head up the hill toward HP. Kids had set that on fire as well. And it just
about took the building down. So, I mean there is going to be those kinds of issues
wherever there happens to be kids. So, I'm not quite sure what we are trying to protect
there, unless we think that those are going to end up being not very well taken care of,
not well maintained, that no one will rent them back there because the train goes by and
keeps them awake at night or whatever. I'm not quite sure what we are trying to protect.
So, maybe it's not --
De Weerd: Yeah. That's not a question for Mr. McKinnon.
Donnell: No.
De Weerd: I guess what we are trying to protect is the rail corridor and Anna might tell
you that we get a number of inquiries on economic development. And 80 percent of
those are industrial that want rail access. That rail corridor is quickly being swallowed
up and developed. And we have one opportunity. And you -- we also found that there
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 31 of 72
is a way that you can transition from that rail corridor, which often is noisy and, yeah,
they choose to move on it, but it doesn't mean because they move next to a source of
noise that they accept that. We have seen that time and time again. I guess the
thought is now is looking at preserving it and giving it an opportunity to not only be a
source for our public transportation, but also a source for moving commerce and making
sure that that corridor is healthy in both regards. And I don't know if a healthy public
transportation corridor means that you have housing backed up against it you certainly
want to contact people to it, but that doesn't mean they have to live on top of it. And so
my point is only that that land is valuable to freight and there is other opportunities to put
apartments and higher density living mixed in with those without giving up some prime
freight land. And, yeah, this does match our Comprehensive Plan. But does that make
it something that -- that shouldn't be considered for another use. No, I don't think so.
Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: Madam Mayor, just a comment to your comments as far as industrial versus
residential. And it appears to me that we are really talking about two separate worlds. I
know that some of the valley initiatives are looking towards a mass transit system
located along the rail corridor certainly a number of years out. But I -- as I recall, one of
the key components to that is having residential within accessible distances for people
to be able to use that system and I know that that was one of the key components to
making that work.
De Weerd: And that's correct, Mr. Wardle. But it doesn't mean they have to be right on
top of it.
Wardle: My second question would be how viable an industrial corridor or where is the
spur located, all of those questions in relation to a light rail system or mass transit
system and those are certainly things that were down the road.
De Weerd: Well, Mr. Wardle, spurs can be added anyplace and that is one of the things
that we did learn along that trip is they can be put in at any point on that rail -- on that
rail line as it is today. And, again, it was a very educational experience going down that
rail corridor and actually experiencing it and seeing it through their eyes on the freight
potential. Now, Idaho Northern has also master planned in the dual use with public
transportation. And, yes, you need to have your transit or your depot spots on the rail
corridor, but don't have to have your house upon it. You do need connectivity through
path systems, that they can ride there by bike or inter mobile type of access, but you
don't have to live directly on the rail corridor to do that. And those are lessons learned
since we put together the Comp Plan. Any further questions or--
Bird: I have none.
De Weerd: Any final remarks, Dave?
McKinnon: No. Thanks for your time. Appreciate the comments.
Meridian City Council

De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. Council?
Rountree: Hearing no further testimony, I move that we close the public hearings on
Items 16, 17 and 18.
Bird: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. The motion is to close the public hearings from Items 16 through 18.
All those in favor say aye. All ayes. Motion carries.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
De Weerd: Any discussion or do I have a motion?
Rountree: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: I have a couple comments. And I have said them before. I don't know that
Meridian is in such a situation that we have to hurry into these kinds of things. This
particular concept seems to me fraught with bringing it back more and more times to
Planning and Zoning and Council with a two lot subdivision with 70 some units on it.
That bothers me. We don't have any subdivision lots per se for these units. I can -- we
have had these discussions about subdivisions coming back before wanting to identify
lots. I have heard that there was some additional consideration that that would -- they
would come back and ~ identify lots for condominium sales. I'm not sure that I'm
comfortable annexing under those concepts. And once annexed it's difficult for the city
to -- control is not the word. Direct what does or does not occur there. I'm not
convinced that this concept is the right concept for that piece of future Meridian and
probably would vote against a motion to approve.
De Weerd: Okay. We don't have a motion. Do we have any further discussion? Or
would you consider a motion?
Donnell: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mrs. Donnell.
Donnell: I don't believe I'm going to make a motion, but I am going to make a statement
and that is while your remarks are well taken and we talk about a fluid Comprehensive
Plan, our Public Works Department, the folks that are doing -- working with the
developers, follow that Comp Plan and I don't know how many times I have said to my
constituents when they have complained about development that if, in fact, it's included
in the Comp Plan, then, that generally is the way things will happen and I guess I have
learned on -- being on the Council that that doesn't necessarily have to be the way it is,
but, then, I think our Public Works Department needs to clearly understand the
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 33 of 72
philosophy of the Mayor and the Council, so that they can work with developers, so that
they don't bring requests forward to us when they know that it probably is not going to
be something that we can agree with.
De Weerd: That's our Planning Department, not Public Works.
Donnell: I'm sorry planning. Sorry, wrong department. Our Planning Department. You
heard everything I said right, Anna?
Canning: Yes, ma'am.
Donnell: Okay.
De Weerd: And, Mrs. Donnell, I appreciate those comments and Mrs. Canning was
along that tour and that is the recommendation. One of the reasons she brought the
recommendation to study that area for this next budget year, since there is not sewer
there yet, we didn't realize that we would have these pressures already. So, it just is a
timing issue. So, she was well aware of what the potential is along that corridor, but
nothing was changed, so --
Canning: And, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, maybe I should have said
something earlier, but in defense of the Comprehensive Plan a little bit, I think at the
time that they were drafting it was when rail use was actually going down quite a bit.
They did change ownerships and since the change in ownership the rail use has
actually gone up. So, when we were planning we were anticipating less freight and
more public and more likely to go as a transit line or -- I'm losing words. It must be
nearing 10:00 o'clock. But since that time the rail use has actually increased and I think
that that's a lot of why you're seeing this -- this needs to update the Comprehensive
Plan to match what's going on these days is mostly that.
Donnell: And, Madam Mayor, and Mrs. Canning then -- and that is expressed to the
developer when they come forward with these plans -- with plans that abut residential
development right along the rail corridor? Do they understand that?
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, Councilwoman Donnell, I don't think
that this applicant was -- I've had another site where I have expressed that to the
applicant, because I don't think they have been able to blend their project into the
commercial and industrial uses on their other site. But this is more of an open field and
we didn't -- we didn't discuss that issue when they first came in.
Donnell: My concern -- follow up? -- is -- and I'm not trying to throw a tantrum here, but
is that I hate to see folks waste their time. And you know -- and that's why I think that it
needs to be clearly laid out what will and will not be accepted through Planning and
Zoning and, then, when it gets to the Council. r think it's a lot of time and money wasted
when they come forward with something that isn't going to be accepted. So, that was
my statement.
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 34 of 72
Canning: And, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, no one's accused me of being
anything except blunt, I believe, when they come in the door. So, I mean we do try -- I
think this one has actually been in the loop longer than it -- than you would think. It's
taken awhile to get to you all. So, I think a lot of those railroad concerns weren't on our
radar at the time that they initially came in for application.
De Weerd: Yes, they were starting to develop, and it is unfortunate. But, again, I only
give you these comments, because we have one chance to do things right and I
appreciate the -- unfortunately, the timing of the master planning and that area is not
conducive to this application. Any further comments? Mr. Wardle, did you have
something?
Wardle: Not at this time.
De Weerd: Okay. Okay. Well, do I have a motion?
Rountree: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: I move that we deny annexation and zoning request as identified in Item 16.
Bird: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. I have a motion to deny Item 16. Is there any discussion? Mr.
Berg, roll call attendance.
Berg: Roll call vote.
De Weerd: I mean -- I'm sorry. Roll call vote.
Rountree: We are still maybe all here.
De Weerd: I don't know.
Bird: I don't know if we are all here. We are present.
Roll-Call: Bird, aye; Rountree, aye; Wardle, nay; Donnell, nay.
De Weerd: And I would vote nay. I mean aye. Sorry.
Rountree: Are you here?

De Weerd: No. I'm still waiting for attendance.
Bird: That must be the woman for you.
De Weerd: I am in favor of the motion to deny.
Berg: Motion passes, which denies annexation, which Findings will have to be
prepared such.
Rountree: Findings will have to be prepared to indicate the denial.
MOTION CARRIED: TWO AYES. TWO NAYS. MAYOR AYE.
De Weerd: Mr. Nary, do you --
Nary: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, yes, I -- we will prepare an order -- an
order to that effect that we will have on your next agenda moving to deny, because it's
not in the best interest of the city with what J perceive from the discussion. And if that's
incorrect, then, you can correct me, but that was what the basis for denial of annexation
and there will be an order corresponding with the other preliminary plat and CUP, since
an annexation was denied.
De Weerd: Is that correct, Mr. Rountree?
Rountree: That's correct.
De Weerd: Mr. Bird?
Bird: Yes.
De Weerd: Okay. So, do we need a motion on items 17 and 18? No? Okay. Item 19
is a Public Hearing AZ 05-023. I will open this Public Hearing with staff comments
Canning: Madam Mayor, Council, don't they have to take action on the other ones?
don't think they just drop them, usually.
Nary: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I guess they are moot for the purpose
of -- there is no point making a motion. The order will reflect all three of the
applications.
Canning: Okay.
Nary: So, we will reflect the final action on all three applications. They don't have to
make a motion or vote on it, since once they haven't annexed, they -- they can't approve
the other two. But the order that we will prepare will reflect all three applications.

Canning: Okay. Thank you for that clarification. I'm sorry. Just a moment. The next
item the applicant wants me to ask you to clarify. It's certainly what would be
appropriate on the property. If you would like me to continue with the next application I
will.
Rountree: Please.
Canning: Okay.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I will give my reasons for the yea vote on the turn down. I think it's just too dense.
The density that we are getting anymore is going overboard I feel. I also feel a lot like
the Mayor does regarding the corridor. But I also believe in property rights, somebody
doing something. But I think -- I don't think we are doing the city a favor of putting that
kind of density in all over. It seems like, David, that we are getting more -- more and
more of that density. I was a real big advocate of getting rid of the R-4 classification
that we had for years and years and years in Meridian, Idaho. I'm not to sure we
shouldn't go back to it for awhile. That's my biggest reason.
Rountree: I have stated my reasons.
De Weerd: Well -- and I know you already heard my little dialogue on that freight
corridor. I guess I'm more curious -- this whole area is going to break open and I would
like to see how it's all going to work together. This is -- this is going to be very intense.
And I -- you know, the interconnectivity, the ditch that you have running along the west
side of it, how that will connect to the neighbors to the west, how it's all going to flow
together. And, you know, the density of that in the middle of a commercial and
industrial area, I guess I would like to see a master plan, so we can make sure that the
connections with the traffic and where you will have to make a road, the circulation of
traffic when you put that kind of high density, where is it going to go. Right now it only
has one point. And so I would like to see a plan. And I guess that's where. I was
coming from. And some transitioning from that corridor, so -
Item 19:
Public Hearing: AZ 05-023 Request for Annexation and Zoning of 39.47
acres from RUT to C-N zone for Cherry Lane Christian Church by BRS
Architects - NWC of Ten Mile Road and Franklin Road:
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, Item No. 19 is an annexation and
zoning request for the Cherry Lane Christian Church. It's located at the northwest
corner of Ten Mile and Franklin immediately east of the former application. It is an
annexation of 39.47 acres with C-N zoning. I just want to go over some of the highlights
of the proposed development agreement. This is the conceptual layout of the site at
this time. Here is Ten Mile Road. And we have a whole lot of parking and, then, the
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 37 of 72
church is in the -- basically at the north end of the site. There is a natural feature here
the Ten Mile Drain that divides it. They would be putting a footbridge to connect to
some recreation fields. And I believe there is a caretaker's house. And, then, an
existing city facility that would still maintain access here in the triangular portion. The
DA -- the development agreement conditions associated proposed with this annexation
are that any new structures be generally compatible in appearance in bulk with the
surrounding residential properties as determined by the detailed plan development.
And also that the proposed uses include a private school with childcare, church, and
administrative offices. They wanted to make sure that the applicant informed the
Council of any other uses through the planned development process, if they were to be
asking for those, the detailed planned development, and the applicant agrees to provide
cross-access to the parcels to the west and north prior to issuance of any certificate of
zoning compliance on the property. And that accesses are limited to those approved by
ACHD. I think there is a little bit of confusion about this on the part of the applicant. I
think ACHD has only -- in my understanding is that they have only agreed to the single
point of access here. That all the others would be reviewed after the church submitted
a detailed traffic analysis plan, then, they would consider all the other access points that
have been prepared and there are a significant number of those access points. But at
this time I believe the only one that they are really approving was this one that would be
shared with the Silver Oaks property here to the west. I pointed that out almost more as
a clarification for the applicant than for Council, because I had heard that there was a
misunderstanding on that issue. Sewer is currently not available to this site. We don't
have elevations for the proposed church. The Planning and Zoning Commission has
recommended approval with the development agreement. The key issues of discussion
were the vehicular access and cross-access to Ten Mile Road and Franklin Road,
future uses, and the extent of the project. The cross-access required for emergency
access from the north and the west. And, then, the multi-use pathway along Ten Mile
Creek or Ten Mile Drain. I would ask that if Council is considering approving this
application, that they add a condition to the development agreement. I read you that
one about the detailed planned development. It's a little unclear that we have actually
required that they come in for a detailed planned development before they get approval
for any building on the site. So, we would ask that you add a condition stating that the
applicant shall submit a detailed conditional use application for the site either as the
whole site or for individual uses on that site. Originally, they had talked about doing
some pads out front for commercial development. So, I don't know if they are prepared
to do that with the timing of the church construction. So, this is in the same area of the
previous discussion. So, I will answer any questions you might have.
De Weerd: Council President Wardle, I will turn this meeting over to you. I am a
member of this church and don't --
Wardle: Thank you, Madam Mayor.
Canning: I didn't have anything else, Council President Wardle. You're looking at me
like you want me to tell you something. Sorry.
Meridian City Council

Page 38 of 72
Wardle: Would the applicant please come forward? If you will state your name and
address for the record, please.
Woodard: My name is Larry Woodard. I am one of the associate ministers there. My
address is 1701 Almaden in Meridian.
Wardle: Thank you.
Woodard: I just have a few brief comments on our request for annexation and rezoning.
First of all, many of you have visited our current facility on Cherry Lane and we have
been active with your police department and other groups. And we just think that,
eventually, if we get to this point that we will provide another facility that will provide
anymore community accommodations. We have worked closely with your Planning and
Zoning Commission. And we basically are in agreement with the report. We have
agreed to sell a lot up in this corner to the city for a well site. The initial test well has
been drilled. And I see on your agenda tonight that you authorized some more studies
in connection with Well 27 as part of your consent agreement. We have already met
with your city attorney regarding the development agreement that would follow. And we
are prepared to go forward after this meeting. A couple of things we just want to clear
up is on page two of Exhibit C, it talks about landscaping along Meridian and Ustick
Road. And I think that should read Franklin and Ten Mile.
Rountree: That's closer.
Woodard: That's closer. Yeah. And just for the public record our annexation and
agreement is going to oe over an extended period of time, because we will build out
there as funds become available. So, we could be adding structures for 10, 20 years or
shorter. Or even longer. And we fully understand it as we need -- as we come in for
these various building permits, we will need to comply with the recommendations of
staff. We want to keep open the possibilities of some residential use out there, because
this existing house could become unusable when they widen Ten Mile to five lanes and
we just got to have some eyes and ears on the property of this size. So, we just want
you to be aware of that. And we will come back if we decide to move it or build another
facility. As was mentioned, you know, the -- could we have a larger picture that shows -
- there we go. All the rumors now swirling around this site here makes us wonder about
some of the commercial opportunities along here. And although we are pestered by
people all the time for this, our thought is that we may come back at some point and as
part of our ministries have book stores, restaurants, health clubs, and so forth along
Franklin. And so, again, we will come back for that. One other area of clarification is
that the staff report left us a little confused about a trunk line -- sewer trunk line that's
supposed to cross -- here we go. Basically, east to west and, then, run up our west line
and under the railroad. It was our understanding at P&Z that that would be a city
constructed line and that's what the testimony says at P&Z, but the staff report would
seem to indicate we are responsible for that. So, we would like to have some
clarification on it. I draw your attention to page two of Exhibit C, the last sentence. And,
then, the staff report indicated that neither Franklin or Ten Mile roads were in the ACHD
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 39 of 72
five-year plan. They are both in the five-year plan, but the Ten Mile is the only one that
has a fixed date that is actually going to happen. And that's in 2007. And so we have
had a traffic study completed. We have submitted it to ACHD. And this past week they
granted us -- go back to the site plan again. They have granted us four access points
along Ten Mile, all four that we asked for. And they have granted us three points along
Franklin Road. They did not approve this one here. So, we got three of the four on
Franklin. You mentioned on page one of Exhibit C our primary planned facilities, which
are the main church facilities and administrative offices. I would just like to add for the
public record that we do envision recreational facilities and maintenance facilities over
on this 3.5 acres. And so with that we are in agreement with the staff report and --
(End of tape one.)
Wardle: -- A clarification from Public Works. I believe the applicant had a question
about the sewer trunk line.
Grady: Councilman Wardle, Members of the Council, yeah, we did have a city project
planned to take sewer down through the Franklin and Ten Mile intersection to
coordinate with ACHD's paving of that intersection. And that was scheduled to be
completed in 2007. It -- just prior to their paving that project. So, we are proceeding
along those lines. Now, Silver Oaks is considering bringing that down as part of their
project, too, realizing that got denied. So, that's the confusion is we had always
intended to bring that down just prior to 2007, so --
Woodard: And so, if I understand you, that is still a city project that runs east and west
across the church prope~rty?
Grady: Well, we are in the process of designing that as we speak.
Woodard: Right. And you plan to build it in 2007?
Grady: Well, we are in the process of negotiating easements with various landowners,
including you, and the exact path of that hasn't been determined.
Woodard: Okay.
Grady: So, JUS has been in contact with you and several other landowners in the area
and it is our intention to somehow get that sewer down through Franklin and Ten Mile.
Woodard: Okay. And it's always been our understanding that we would, then, be
responsible for hooking to that with any lines from our facility.
Grady: Yes. Depending on the final route of that.
Woodard: Okay.
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 40 of 72
Wardle: Council, any other questions for the applicant?
Bird: I have none.
Rountree: Mr. President. Did I understand you that at some future date you will be
coming back to the city to re-subdivide and possibly either build or sell lots and if that's
the case where would those be located?
Woodard: We have no plans to sell any portion of this for re-subdividing. We do
envision possibly some ministry functions that would include commercial type facilities
on our property.
Rountree: Follow up?
Wardle: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: You mentioned the residential, the dwellings out there now.
Woodard: Yes.
Rountree: At some point in time in the future, it may be displaced by the widening of
Ten Mile, but you said something about replacing it. What do you have in mind with
that?
Woodard: This is an older home that we re-remodeled and if the plans are such that we
are going to have to move that or tear it down, we will have to come to that decision and
what I'm pointing out is we may either move it up here along Avest or build a different
facility, but we got to have some eyes and ears on that property.
Rountree: Follow up. And you intend to use that as a residential dwelling?
Woodard: Yes. Uh-huh. In other words, we would have staff live right in it or -- a
caretaker, groundskeeper, something of that nature.
Donnell: Mr. President?
Wardle: Mrs. Donnell.
Donnell: Is that required, numbers of parking spaces, or do you just anticipate that you
would use all of that parking? Is your congregation so large that much would need to
have the parking for --
Woodard: Initially, the parking would encompass just this area here. We are a
congregation of about 1,200. We -- quite honestly, we intend to double our initial size
when we build. And it could go up to seating for 4,500.
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 41 of 72
Donnell: Remind me not to ever go along Ten Mile Road when you're letting out of--
Woodard: On Sunday morning.
Donnell: -- church there. So, with that possible -- follow up, Mr. President?
Wardle: Mrs. Donnell.
Donnell: With that possibility of that kind of congregation is that much parking required?
Oh, let me add onto that. And, if so, then, there would not be any possibility of them
being able to use some commercial use like a bookstore or something.
Canning: President Wardle, Council member Donnell, I'm not sure that we calculated an
ultimate. We would have had to have specific numbers on the number of auditorium
seats, plus the gross floor area for the administration building, plus the number of
elementary classrooms -- I'm not sure we have the exact information we need to get an
exact parking count. For that reason, staff did put the current parking requirements in
the special considerations for the annexation and zoning, but it doesn't give an ultimate
required number. So, typically, though, our parking requirements tend to be less than
what folks want to do and I would guess that this is the case of that as well.
Wardle: Anna, let me clarify your staff recommendation to bring forward a detailed
conditional use. Does that include the current site plan that we have to bring that
forward for detailed conditional use or for anything outside of this plan?
Canning: Well, we haven't received elevations along with this. So, it was including this
use, because I don't -- we really don't have very much specifics on the proposed uses at
th is point.
Wardle: Okay. And part of the parking requirements that Mrs. Donnell is referring to
would be included in that conditional use process.
Canning: Correct.
Wardle: Okay. Thank you.
Rountree: Mr. President?
Wardle: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: I have a question for Anna. Is residential use allowed in the C-N?
Canning: President Wardle, Members of the Council, Councilmember Rountree, if you
call it a caretaker unit it is. It's kind of an accessory use to a standard commercial unit
and there are a lot of commercial buildings that may not have someone living there, but
there is someone there all night, so --
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 42 of 72
Rountree: Thank you.
Canning: I think that that's how we have always discussed it was a caretaker dwelling.
Rountree: I know it's been an issue in the past and I just wanted to make sure that it
doesn't become an issue.
Wardle: Thank you.
Woodard: Thank you.
Wardle: Is there anyone else who would like to testify on this application?
Grady: President, I have just some clarification I need as far as running this sewer
down through this property. Do we have the authority to have them grant us
easements, so that we can get to and through? In other words, we may -- we may end
up having to go through their property and we might get ourselves in a situation where
we not only have to build it, but pay for it. And I don't know what our authority is there.
Wardle: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Mr. President, Members of the Council, I think -- I think most of the time in the
past and I -- maybe Mr. Grady can correct me, but we have a policy as to how we
acquire easements and trying to -- as we are in the design phase, Mr. Watson
normally, if there has been a question or an issue, has brought that to the Council,
because of a particular property owner's concern whether to reroute that or needing
specific additional direction from the Council. But, otherwise, I think they followed a
policy internally on acquiring those. So, I don't know that you need a separate direction
tonight.
Grady: I would agree, other than in this particular case they are both sort of happening
simultaneously. Normally, if this were bare land we would have to go purchase
easements. He's in the process of going through the development at the same time.
Nary: You wanted that as a condition of approval, is that what you're seeking? Okay.
Then, that was my misunderstanding. So, if you wanted that included as part of that,
that they would work with the staff on Public Works on acquiring easements and things
and such, I think that's a condition we put in before.
Canning: Mr. President?
Wardle: Anna.
Canning: Just to put words in our new city engineer's mouth, perhaps. Since this is a
development agreement, could it be a condition of the development agreement that the
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 43 of 72
applicant provide easements to the -- for the purpose of routing that sewer easement or
that sewer line?
Nary: As long as you're going to pay for it.
Wardle: Would the applicant like to respond to staffs additional condition?
Woodard: Well, we have worked closely with JUB on the route and it's shown on our
plan here and that is this right here. We have always been in agreement to grant such
an easement if it were presented to us, but we -- it is not.
Wardle: Thank you very much. Council, any further comments?
Bird: I have none, Mr. President.
Rountree: None.
Bird: Mr. President, I would move we close the Public Hearing on No. 19.
Rountree: Second.
Wardle: It's been moved and seconded to close the Public Hearing on Item No. 19. All
in favor?
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Donnell: Mr. President?
Wardle: Mrs. Donnell.
Donnell: Prior to a motion being made on this application, help me to understand, either
Councilman Bird, Rountree, or Wardle, how this is different than the development that
we denied when we didn't have better plans for the corner of the property. Do you
remember the one I'm talking about? I think just last week. And we denied it, because
we didn't have any real firm idea of what this was going to be. It was all conceptual. Is
this the same? Is this conceptual or would you look at this as being more defined than
what we have denied in the past?
Bird: This was on the 12th. I can't remember. I wasn't here.
Rountree: Oh, I will give a run at this.
Donnell: Okay.
Rountree: The previous one, which was two weeks ago, I believe, was a subdivision. I
believe we are going to reconsider it with additional information. There was no
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 44 of 72
indication of what the use was going to be. There were no elevations. There was no
idea that that was what the subdivision was really going to look like. And I think there
were five lots.
Donnell: They were office buildings, weren't they? It was on the corner of Meridian and
Ustick.
Rountree: Maybe. I'm not sure that we saw any landscape plans, no particulars as it
related to the subdivision. This is --
Donnell: Isn't a subdivision.
Rountree: -- this isn't a subdivision. From the testimony we received I thought it was
originally, but, apparently, it will not be.
Donnell: Okay. Thank you.
Rountree: We can handle the concern for design based on asking for a detailed
development plan, conditional use, to be submitted; correct, Anna?
Canning: Yes.
Rountree: And that certainly is a concern. So, I guess that's the observations I would
make is between the difference in the two.
Donnell: Okay. Thank you.
Rountree: Does that help?
Donnell: Uh-huh.
Rountree: Okay.
Canning: President Wardle, to clarify the record, you did approve the Findings for that
project last week. You reconsidered and approved them last week. The last time you
met
Donnell: Was I not here?
Nary: Mr. President. You're talking about Dr. Price's -- they reconsidered it and reset it
for a new--
Rountree: Reset it for a new hearing. We did not -- we have not heard it yet.
Canning: I'm sorry.
Meridian City Council

Donnell: I didn't think we had.
Wardle: Council, we have closed our Public Hearing. I will --
Bird: Mr. President, I will --
Wardle: Mr. Bird.
Bird: -- make a motion here. I move that we approve AZ 05-023, Cherry Lane Christian
Church on Ten Mile and Franklin Road, and to incorporate -- and to incorporate new
Findings with the addition of staff and applicant's comments and public testimony
tonight.
Wardle: I will second that, if it specifically requires detailed conditional use as outlined
in the staff comments.
Bird: That was in the staff comments. That's why we are doing new Findings.
Wardle: Second.
Nary: Mr. President?
Wardle: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I think this is a comment, but just to be sure that what your intention is for
Councilmember Bird, addition to the development agreement besides the detailed
conditional use would also be to provide easements through the property for the sewer
extension.
Bird: The applicant --
Mr. Nary: And the applicant was in agreement with that.
Bird: He was in agreement with it and he stated it.
Nary: All right.
Bird: That was part of his testimony.
Wardle: It's been moved and seconded to approve Item No. 19. Mr. Clerk, will you,
please, call roll.

Item 20:
Public Hearing: RZ 05-007 Request for a Rezone of .13 acres from R-8
zone to 0- T zone for Meridian Counselina & Wellness Center by Ruth
& Jeff Ulmer - 934 East 5th Street:
Item 21 :
Public Hearing: CUP 05-028 Request for a Conditional Use Permit for a
counseling and massage therapy center in a proposed O-T zone for
Meridian Counselina & Wellness Center by Ruth & Jeff Ulmer - 934
East 5th Street:
De Weerd: Okay. I will go ahead and open up the Council meeting and we are on Item
20 and 21, public Hearing RZ 05-007 and CUP 05-028. I want to make sure I wasn't
forgetting something. I will open those two Public Hearings, 20 and 21 r with staff
comments.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, this project is for the Meridian
Council and Wellness Center. It's located at 934 East 5th Street. And it might not be
easy to spot, but it's that parcel right there. It is a request for a rezone and a
Cond itional Use Permit. The rezone is of .13 acres. And, again r it's a little difficult to
see. It's right there. And the rezone would be from R-8 to Old Town. And, then, the
CUP is for a Counseling and Massage Therapy Center in Old Town zoning. The
existing structu re is 2,412 square feet. And there is just one structure. Access would
be from the north end of the property into a small parking lot behind the existing home.
Currently faces towards 5th Street. This is some photos of the existing home. The
cross street is State Street. The police department is trying to figure out what this cross
street was, so it is 5th and State Street. Okay. Going back up. As with many of the
developments that occur in the Old Town zoning, the applicant is requesting alternative
compliance to address the required buffer between land uses. Twenty feet is required.
They are only able to provide about two feet on the east. It says seven feet here on the
east. And seven feet on the south. They have -- staff has recommended that for that
alternative compliance they provide a six-foot solid fence and additional trees in lieu of
the required area. The Planning and Zoning Commission has recommended approval.
They conducted a Public Hearing on June 16th, 2005. And their key issues of
discussion were appropriateness of a business in the proposed location, which is
currently surrounded by residential properties, the type and number of clients to be
treated at the proposed business, and the limits on the hours of operation. As a result
of those hearings, the Commission added conditions regarding the hours of operation
and they limited them from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. They also added conditions stating
that the Conditional Use Permit is granted only to the current applicant and should
become null and void upon transfer of the property. Ruth Ulmer spoke in favor of the
application. Susan Dodds spoke in opposition. The outstanding issue before Council
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 47 of 72
tonight is whether this is appropriate zoning at this time. Although the Comprehensive
Plan designation does show this as Old Town, there is some question when the nearest
other Old Town zoning is down here along the railroad use area. And, then, this orange
over here is the Old Town. So, the nearest commercial use I believe is here in the R-15
and the nearest commercial zoning here in the orange and that small property there
along where the heavy industry is. So, though it is consistent with the Comp Plan, the
one outstanding issue is whether the timing is correct. So, with that I will answer any
questions.
De Weerd: Council, any questions?
Donnell: No.
Bird: I have none.
De Weerd: Okay. Is the applicant here? If you will, please, state your name and
address.
Ulmer: My name is Ruth Larsen Ulmer and I live at 670 South Clearwater Lane, No.
204, Boise. 83712.
De Weerd: Thank you. Do you have any comment?
Ulmer: No.
De Weerd: Do you agre-e with all the staff comments?
Ulmer: Yes, I do.
De Weerd: Okay. Council, any questions for the applicant?
Bird: I have none.
Rountree: None.
De Weerd: Okay.
Ulmer: Thank you.
De Weerd: Is there anyone who would like to provide testimony on this application? If
you would, please, state your name and address.
Rizzario: Yes. Mayor and Council. My name is Fred Rizzario. I live on 1012 Kathy
Lane, Meridian.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 48 of 72
Rizzario: Actually, it is East 5th Avenue to be exact, not East State Street. So, I live at
the actual dead end cul-de-sac.
Donnell: Can you use the pointer, sir?
Rizzario:Certainly. Right there.
De Weerd: Okay.
Rizzario:Yeah. And that is East 8th Avenue. My concern is actually -- and I need to
find out a little bit more information about the actual counseling, because we -- actually,
have -- I guess I don't want to specify -- we actually have a -- what do you call it,
designated sex offender in the block, so that's caused me some concern. But I don't
know what type of counseling or who is going to be coming. Another concern was
traffic. As it is there is no stop signs, yield signs, or anything on there and as it is, traffic
is pretty rough there because of the subdivision that comes down this way. So, there is
a lot of traffic going down that way.
De Weerd: And those are apartments to the north?
Rizzario: Yes. Right.
De Weerd: Okay.
Rizzario: Up on the north. It's the whole housing. It's all housing. Also what I -- also
caught my attention was the Old Town designation. About two years ago I was here
with your predecessor and we had actually discussed the Old Town where I believe was
going all the way to Five Mile Creek, which is right here. The reason why is I actually
own the oldest parsonage in Meridian and it's one of your history buildings, so --
historical buildings. It's not on an historical site, like the historian stated at that time,
because it was moved there back in '89. But, nonetheless, it's still -- the building's intact
the same way so -- and we have kept it that way. And, you know, so that's what
brought me here was trying to figure out the old zone. I thought that was pretty much
already done and there is confusion on did it get re-designated or has it been changed
or anything like that and, of course, then, my concern with safety and security with
children. I'm in the profession of -- I work over at Job Corps in Nampa. So, I deal with a
lot of the counseling and students and things like that, 16 to 24 year olds, so this
brought up some concern with having -- I don't know the actual designation for sex
offender, but it's there and we know he's there, so that causes me some concern being
so close and, of course, having a type of service industry within all the residential area.
De Weerd: Well, we will ask for clarification on the type of counseling as well.
Rizzario: Thank you very much.

De Weerd: Okay. Thank you, sir. Is there any other testimony on this application?
Okay. Would the applicant like to respond, please?
Ulmer: I answered a lot of these questions when I went through the Planning and
Zoning and the County Commissioners. We do not see pedophiles at my location. I will
not be leasing my office spaces to anybody who sees pedophiles. I will not be leasing
my office space to anybody who deals primarily with people who are drug addicts and
alcoholics. And that is why they tied the Conditional Use Permit to me and myself only.
So -- and there is pages of testimony regarding pedophiles at the last meeting. Yes.
De Weerd: Okay. So, what kind of counseling, then?
Ulmer: I do children, adolescents, and families. So, I see children who have ADHD,
depression, anxiety. Children who don't want to go to school. I want to hire or not hire -
- excuse me. I want to lease my office spaces to massage therapists. I want to lease
my office space to nutritionists who see people who are a little over weight and need to
lose weight, people who have eating disorders, that kind of thing. So, pedophiles are
court ordered that see therapists on Medicaid. I have no desire to see those kind of
people and I'm not going to rent my office space to anybody who sees those kind of
people. So, not an issue.
De Weerd: Okay. Council, any questions?
Bird: I have none.
De Weerd: Thank you. -
Ulmer: And I also in terms of the traffic, I also plan on trying to get all of my clients and
everyone to come down Pine Street, so I really don't want to have everyone come down
State Street, because I am very aware that there is the unmarked intersections. So, I
do plan on having people use Pine Avenue -- yeah. Pine Avenue. So, hopefully, that
will answer that question also.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you.
Canning: Madam Mayor. Members of the Council, would you like me to comment on
the question about the Old Town zoning?
De Weerd: Yes.
Canning: Staff did initiate a mass rezone of all the properties within the Old Town
designation to Old Town. The consensus at the Public Hearing was -- at the time wasn't
right, because the restrictions on the Old Town zoning were so heavy in that there was
no principle permitted uses on the -- but at the time there was no design guidelines on,
there was just no clear benefit to anyone to go ahead and get that Old Town zoning at
that point. We have recently discussed about when it would be appropriate to bring this
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 50 of 72
issue back. And what we had talked about and what is in my strategic plan for next
year is to get design guidelines adopted, get the new provisions of the Unified
Development Code in place, and work on some residential design guidelines for Old
Town and at that time it would be appropriate, we might have the downtown design
guidelines and, then, some defined areas for the residential guidelines. So, this could
be in -- I guess what staff is anticipating is that you would have a kind of a layering or
concentric ring of uses, even though it all has the Old Town zoning, is that you would
see mostly the downtown core would have a lot of the more intense retail uses and,
then, lessening out toward office and, then, residential. Residential is still planned to be
one of the primary uses within the Old Town designation. It just tells you where staff is
headed with that whole issue.
De Weerd: Okay.
Rountree: So, if I might follow up on your question to Anna's information. This is or is
not designated in the Comp Plan as Old Town?
Canning: It is not. It was aborted at the hollering of almost everybody that was there, I
believe.
De Weerd: Okay. Hold on for a moment. Did you have a question?
Wardle: Madam Mayor, I have a question for the Police Chief. And just ask him to
comment given the public testimony of I believe the presence of a registered sex
offender and any concerns with what is -- has been terminologized as a child counseling
center within that vicinity. Chief.
Musser: Madam Mayor, Councilman Wardle, Members of the Council, when it comes to
the registered sex offenders, this question seems to come up in a multitude of ways.
And unless that registered sex offender is currently on probation, there is an assumption
that they are an everyday type citizen and the information is out there for public
awareness only. And we don't have indications of anybody that is actively a pedophile
or predator in that instance. And if they are registered, then, they are making the
appropriate steps under the law. It's the ones that don't register or that are currently on
probation that are more of a concern. And to my knowledge this one does not fit any of
those categories at this time.
Wardle: Thank you.
De Weerd: Thank you. Does the applicant want to make a statement? Or have a
question?
Ulmer: When I purchased the property I went straight to Planning and Zoning and
asked what zoning I was in and I was told R-8 and I was told immediately that I was in
the Comp Plan for Old Town. And so I stated my plans on what I was going to do with
this building and I was stated, well, you're in the Old Town Comp Plan, that shouldn't be
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 51 of 72
a problem. And so I have never -- I am under the assumption now that it's no longer in
the Comp Plan for Old Town?
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, that is not what I was saying.
Ulmer: Okay.
Canning: It's still Comp Plan -- it's still Old Town in the Comp Plan. I was just trying to
clarify that where we are headed was to have some different design guidelines for
different areas.
Ulmer: Okay.
De Weerd: So, in the Comp Plan this is designated within the Old Town boundaries.
Canning: Correct.
De Weerd: Where are the Old Town boundaries?
Canning: There is one of the other neighbors testified -- the boundary right close by
here is here and, then, it jogs over a little bit. Let's see. It comes up, but it gets those
and, then, it comes back down and goes -- looks like -- something like that. And, then, it
comes down from there. So, it goes approximately like this.
De Weerd: That's a really odd boundary.
Canning: It's right -- about I could do is put the laser pointer right there, so --
Donnell: Which part again, Mr. Nary?
Nary: This part right here --
Donnell: What color is that?
De Weerd: That's brown.
Rountree: So, it's already zoned Old Town.
Donnell: The light brown?
De Weerd: It's designated --
Nary: This part -- madam Mayor, Members of the Council, this part right here, this is a
pathway that follows that creek right along there.
De Weerd: Okay. Is this clear as mud?
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 52 of 72
Donnell: So, it is or is not? Is this property in Old Town -- so, the request for it to be
zoned for Old Town, but it is in the potential Old Town area? Okay.
Canning: Now, is that a little bigger?
Donnell: Yeah.
Canning: Okay.
Donnell: That's good
Canning: The confusion lies in that we have a Comprehensive Plan designation that's
exactly the same as the zoning designation. [understand what's going on now. So, it is
in the Old Town Comprehensive Plan Designation. The property is just about right
there.
De Weerd: Okay.
Canning: It is not currently -- it does not currently have Old Town zoning. That is the
request that is before you tonight is for the Old Town zoning.
Donnell: Okay. Got it.
De Weerd: Okay. AnYfurther questions?
Bird: I have none, Mayor.
Donnell: No.
De Weerd: No? Okay. Any further testimony? Okay. I would entertain a motion to
close.
Donnell: Madam Mayor, I make a motion that we close the Public Hearing?
De Weerd: That is 20 and 21?
Donnell: On 20 and 21.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you.
Bird: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. Motion to close Items 20 and 21. All those in favor say aye. All
ayes. Motion carries.

De Weerd: Do we have any discussion? Do I have a motion?
Donnell: Madam Mayor, I'd like to make a motion that we approve Item No. 20, RZ 05-
007, and to include all staff comments -- and do we go with the next one, too?
Bird: No.
Donnell: Or just that one?
Bird: Is that including the Findings?
Donnell: It absolutely did.
Bird: Second.
Donnell: Didn't I say that?
De Weerd: Okay. The motion is to approve Item 20. If there is no further discussion,
Mr. Berg.
Rountree: Given my history on these particular items, I have to explain my vote to
approve. Because it currently is already an R-8, which would allow this kind of activity.
Were it some other zoning, I probably would vote to deny.
Bird: So, what is your vote?
Rountree: Aye.
Bird: Okay.
Roll-Call: Bird, aye; Rountree, aye; Wardle, aye; Donnell, aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.

Donnell: Before we go on, I just have to say I'm really making a real mess of everything
considering that one of my bosses is in the audience tonight.
De Weerd: One of your bosses?
Donnell: Yes. So, I hope that I'm duly impressing him. One of my bosses.
Rountree: He wouldn't want to be up here. You're already ahead of him.
Donnell: I have five bosses. Is that how many I have, Matt? Five? There is five of
you. They hired me. They will fire me. So, J'm headed in that direction; right?
Item 22:
Public Hearing: PP 05-022 Request for Preliminary Plat approval of 4
buiJding lots and 1 common lot on 1.74 acres in a L-O zone for
Woodpenn Subdivision by Pennwood III, LLC - 429 SW 5th Avenue:
Item 23:
Public Hearing: CUP 05-030 Request for a Conditional Use Permit for a
commercial Planned Development on 1.74 acres in a L-O zone for
Woodpenn Subdivision by Pennwood III, LLC - 429 SW 5th Avenue:
De Weerd: Items 22 and 23 are Public Hearings, PP 05-022 and CUP 05-030. I will
open these two Public Hearings with staff comments
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, this project is WoodPenn. It's
located at 429 Southwest Fifth Avenue. It is a request for four building lots and one
common lot on 1.74 acres In an L-O zone. You can see here that it currently has the L-
o zoning. The planned development that accompanies it is to approve the frontage
requirements for the two rear lots. When I show you the site layout you will see why.
So, here is Fifth Avenue. Here is Woodpenn. You come into the site, this building --
two buildings at the front and, then, two buildings at the rear that do not currently have
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 55 of 72
frontage. So, they have done the Planned Development application. And as part of that
they have proposed as amenities a plaza and the landscape berm, which I'm not seeing
right away. So, maybe the applicant can point out where that is. And a picnic table
and approximately 2,200 square feet of open space, which is 29 percent of the site, I
think it shows up a little better here in the landscape plan. I think this is the -- here we
have the berm and the plaza area. Here are the -- some of the conceptual elevations.
And this is an aerial view or bird's eye view looking down on it. A little bit like roof tops
from up here. The total square footage of the proposed structures is 22,000. And,
then, again, there are just four of them. P&Z has recommended approval with
conditions. And they, again, heard it at their June 16th meeting. And no one spoke in
opposition to the project. There is no key issues of discussion. And there are no
outstanding issues that we know of before Council.
De Weerd: Thank you. Any questions, Council?
Donnell: No.
De Weerd: Any comment from the applicant? If you will, please, state your name and
address.
Newton: Matthew Newton, 25370 Volendam in Caldwell.
De Weerd: Now, do you need to abstain if your job is threatened?
Donnell: Probably.
Newton: If I could clarify myself. I'm a member of the Pennwood III, LLC, with the least
amount of leverage. That's why I'm here. So, I'm just here to answer any questions you
may have.
De Weerd: Council, do you have any questions?
Bird: I have none.
De Weerd: No, she's going to behave herself. No questions.
Newton: Thank you very much.
De Weerd: Any further comment? Anyone wish to testify? Okay.
Rountree: Hearing no further testimony, Madam Mayor, I move that we close Items 22
and 23.
Bird: Second.

- SEC of Jericho Road and Chinden Boulevard:
De Weerd: Thank you, Mr. Berg. Okay. Items 24, 25 and 26 are Public Hearings for
AZ 05-018, PP 05-020, and CUP 05-027. I will open these Public Hearings with staff
comments.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, this is Westborough Square. It's at
the corner of Jericho Road and Chinden Boulevard. Jericho runs on the west side of
the property. There is Chinden. It is three applications. It's an annexation and zoning
of the outline of the property that you see here, and, then, a preliminary plat and a
Conditional Use Permit, just on the top lot, or the northern lot of that existing
subdivision. Here is -- okay. The annexation and -- Westborough Subdivision was
approved by the county~ but with city services. And as a condition of providing those
services they were required to annex the property when sewer was available to the site
with the approval of both with the Arcadia -- there is an annexation path to
Westborough and that's why they have come in with the annexation application on the
whole of the subdivision, but the additional development requests are just on a portion
of it. Meridian School District owns this property and has developed it. I think they have
future plans for development as well. Then there are someone one acre home sites
along Jericho Road. And, then, there is a well lot for the city near -- right on Locust
Grove. So, that is the annexation request and that's why that annexation request is
before you today. Moving on to the -- oh, and as part of that annexation request, there
is one acre lots they requested R-8 zoning on. They requested R-4 for the school
property. And, then, they had requested R-8 for the one-acre homes and, then, R-15
for this lot.
De Weerd: R-8 for the one-acre homes?
Canning: Yes. Staff has not recommended that you approve those as R-8. We are
recommending R-4 for those lots.
De Weerd: Don't we have a lower designation?
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 58 of 72
Canning: We do have lower designations, yes.
Rountree: Three and two.
Canning: Okay. The preliminary plat approval is for seven building lots and, then, one
common lot on the -- in the proposed R-15 zone. So, this is the proposed R-15 zone,
the 5.39 acres. And, then, the CUP is for ten multi-family structures here on the east
end of the site. And for the six office buildings toward the west end of the site, with
multiple buildings on a single lot, and they have also asked for a waiver of the street
frontage requirements that -- in a proposed R-15 zone. So, the CU would allow for a
total of six office buildings and ten four-plex units. I do need to point out that the original
staff recommendation was for denial. The Planning and Zoning Commission was able
to modify the site plan to a point where they felt comfortable --
(End of side one, tape two.)
Canning: -- part of the reason staff initially recommended denial is that the
neighborhood center is located -- centered on this line right here. So, it comes kind of
like this. It does not touch the proposed property. The P&Z felt that that center could
float to include this property. So, they basically felt that this could be developed as
something other than residential because of the closeness of the neighborhood center.
I do have some elevations. That shows the structures a little better. And here is some
elevations. Okay. Planning and Zoning Commission has recommended approval with
conditions. The key issues of discussion were the amenities for the planned
development, the addition of a tot lot and a pathway to the patio area near Chinden. If I
can get my mouse -- there we go. And, then, based on the applicant's testimony, the
Commission made some changes to the condition of approval. Craig detailed those
very carefully in your summary sheet. And he used underline and strike outs. I'm not
going to go over them in detail. But, basically, the first was regarding that construction
of a tot lot within the multi-family portion of this element. The second change requires a
pathway and sidewalk from the multi-family portion to the patio area near the Chinden-
Jericho intersection. And, then, this third change reflects the applicant's willingness to
provide a hundred square feet of private usable open space for each four-plex unit. And
we have discussed that a number of times. That is a requirement of the planned
development. Craig -- or Mr. Hood has pointed out that there is an outstanding issue
before Council. Most of the conditions of approval were with regard to the site plan
modifications. They have submitted a revised site plan. But as pointed out in the
summary, it still provides deficient buffers between land uses. And that's the -- those
required here to separate from the school and the church. And, then, those here to
separate from the school and the one-acre lots. So, either the condition needs to be
changed to reduce that buffer amount or the site plan still needs to be modified to meet
those conditions. Finally, there is limited sewer capacity in this area. The applicant
delivered a letter to the city engineer earlier this afternoon proposing a method to make
more capacity available. The city engineer has not had time to review that proposal, so
staff's position is that there is still limited capacity for sewer in this area. A portion of this
may be able to get sewered, a portion may not. It's unclear how much they could serve
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 59 of 72
at this point. And with that I think I will let the -- answer any questions and let the
applicant explain the site layout a little more.
De Weerd: Any questions for staff?
Bird: Madam Mayor, I do have -- I have a couple of questions. Anna, what kind of
noise abatement have we got along Chinden Boulevard?
Canning: To my knowledge there is no provisions made for noise abatement.
Bird: Are we not doing that on Chinden, getting some kind of noise abatement off
them?
Canning: We have not discussed that before. I think this is --
Bird: Yes, we have.
De Weerd: Yes, we have.
Canning: Oh, that's right, because they did the berm before, didn't they.
Bird: The others that have been butting up to Chinden have been providing some kind
of noise abatement and this definitely needs to be. And, then, on the sewer does this
go into the North Slough, Len, it is over to that or is this going to be flowed back down
and picked up in the lift station and taken to the White Trunk?
Grady: It will come through the North Slough once that's comes through Saguaro. But
that's at least a year out.
Bird: I was going to say where are they getting their limited --
Grady: Well, currently there is a lift station that's going to be operated --
Bird: Edinburgh and them?
Grady: What? Pardon me?
Bird: The one that takes care of Edinburgh and --
Grady: No. This would be Arcadia. The Arcadia Subdivision.
Bird: Oh the Arcadia one. Okay.
Grady: Yeah. That's right. And there was capacity for one lot that was approved prior
now with this extended -- expanded plat. I would say without a modification of that lift
station we would not have capacity. Now, the applicant did give me a revised plan for
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 60 of 72
that lift station, which I have not had time to evaluate. Whether or not that we can
provide that sewer through that lift station remains to be seen.
Bird: Thank you, Len.
De Weerd: Okay. Any other questions at this point? Would the applicant like to come
forward? If you will, please, state your name and address.
Holt: My name is Phil Holt with the Land Group. 462 East Shore Drive in Eagle, Idaho.
83616.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Holt: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I'm here representing JLJ Enterprises for
the annexation and rezone and preliminary plat, along with a planned development for
the Westborough Square project. I will just go into a little bit of the kind of the design
features first. Maybe expand upon Anna's description a little bit. We got the six
commercial buildings up front on Jericho and on Chinden. One single entry off of
Jericho. No entrance whatsoever off of Chinden for safety reasons. And we pull into
the one main parking lot for buildings -- with the buildings on the exterior perimeter, so
you don't see a sea of asphalt going on the roadways. And, basically, help keep the
corridor clean and landscape clean and nice looking. As you drive back into the site we
get to the multi-family area with the ten buildings. It looks like we are out of batteries.
Okay. As you drive back into the residential area, the ten four-plex, multi-family
residences -- residential units. And as you see on this layout also, we don't have one
central large parking 16t in the center, it's more of a traditional feel with on-street
parking, bulb outs for ease of pedestrian access across. This will be -- one was around
this corner. We have street trees. Separated sidewalk. It's quite a different feel from
your typical multi-family development with a single parking lot in the center and feeding
out from that to the individual units. Some of the key features: We have 34 percent of
landscape open space on the project. Again, the on-street parking. Bulb outs. Street
trees, as opposed to that large central parking area in the center. It helps break it up.
And, basically, makes for a much more pedestrian friendly atmosphere in that
residential area. Some of the key P&Z Commission changes included adding the tot lot
in the center of the site. Adding sidewalks along Chinden Boulevard. Connecting into
the plaza space on the corner of Jericho and Chinden, as well as providing the
individual patio spaces for the units. You can see those at those locations. One of the
comments from Councilman Bird I'd like to address right off the bat is the noise
abatement and -- along Chinden Boulevard and what we are providing there is a berm.
It's hard to see on this plan, but there is actual contours up in here. I think we are
calling that a three-foot berm, but we could easily go to more of the five foot range, and
the plant material along that berm is more than double what is required in the ordinance.
So, it's fairly extensively planted, bermed up. We can put that walkway on either side of
that berm. It seems like it might be better if it was on the residential side, so that you
get a little bit of protection from the roadway. So, that will be bermed in that residential
site. And, then, to address the buffer provisions on the exterior boundary of the
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 61 of 72
residential area, we have submitted an alternative method of compliance for the
encroachment upon those buffer areas. And the reason for the encroachment is to
create enough space in the interior of the project to provide a more traditional
neighborhood feel with the on-street parking, bulb out, separated sidewalk, street trees,
as opposed to that larger central parking lot to access the residences. This centrally
focused design creates more pedestrian oriented neighborly interaction, while shifting
the buildings and garages to the perimeter. And the perimeter being on this side a large
open field for the church site here and, then, the large open field for the school site here
and, then, we are not asking for a reduction in that buffer along the residential lot from
this side, we are maintaining that 20-foot there. And what we are doing to comply with
the intent of the ordinance is to more than double the plant material along those buffers
with both conifer, ornamental, and shade tree varieties. As well as place a six-foot vinyl
fence along the east side and the south side. I think it's also important to note that no --
the structures do not go into that 20-foot buffer. It's only the patio spaces. Sort of
creating little courtyards for the patios with very dense landscaping around those to
create those courtyards, while maintaining that pedestrian oriented feel with the street
trees and whatnot on the interior.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, since we paused, Phil, there are
structures -- the carport structures, the garage structures are in that --
Holt: Oh. I'm sorry. You're right. I meant the actual residences. The carports do
encroach into that space. We have ten feet between the property line and the garages.
Basically, we felt that 20 feet behind the garage is kind of dead space. I think reducing
that and just providing landscape in the back accommodates the -- I guess the intent of
the code of providing a buffer between uses that dead space back there can I guess be
a little bit troublesome for potential vandalism and who knows what can happen.
Garages in that dead space between the fence and the garage. Let's see. Along the --
on the north side along Chinden Boulevard we are proposing a 35-foot buffer space
between the new right of way line and our buildings. I think it's important to point out
that the new right of way line that we are dedicating as part -- they have -- the project is
85 feet away from the existing edge of pavement. And, again, this space will include
berming, extensive landscaping, and the five-foot wide sidewalk. And as part of the
alternative method of compliance, we are asking to include the five foot walk in the 35-
foot total, as opposed to going to a 40-foot with that five foot sidewalk in it. There is an
additional 50 feet of space between our buffer and the edge of pavement. We are
planning to obtain a license agreement with ITD to landscape a portion of the right of
way to the bottom of the borrow ditch, which will create effectively an approximate 55
foot wide landscape area along Chinden Boulevard, which is quite substantial I would
think. In order to accomplish this type of high quality traditional neighborhood style
design with the interior pedestrian oriented streetscape, we are asking to modify site
specific condition of approval number two in a couple of areas. Under bullet item
number one, if we could remove the reference to the 40-foot buffer along Chinden, and
we will comply with the intent of the code by providing double the required number of
trees and effectively landscape a 55-foot wide area along Chinden. And, then, under
bullet item number three, if we could encroach into the buffers as shown on the
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 62 of 72
submitted site and landscape plans, we will build the project as presented with
traditional neighborhood streetscapes on the interior and vastly improved perimeter
landscape and fencing. And one last comment with the R-4 versus R-8 on the
residential lot down here. I think in the initial application that was a misunderstanding
with staff. We have no problem going to R-4 or even less on those acre lots there.
Those are intended to stay one-acre residences and we don't have any problem with
that at all. I guess one other point of clarification on the change from our application
through the P&Z process, the initial request was for an R-15 zone on the entire project
and, then, a Conditional Use Permit for the commercial on the front half. The P&Z
recommended that we go with an L-O zone on the front half, as opposed to the
conditional use. And we don't have a problem with that either. That makes good sense
to go with L-O zone for the limited office use and, then, the residential in the back of the
R-15. With that I will stand for questions.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I have got in our -- in our new Unified Development Code noise abatement for
residential use along federal and state highways, which includes that. Constructing a
berm or berm and wall combination. They got to be ten foot higher than the center
elevation of the road.
Holt: Okay.
Bird: So, it's a combination of either a berm up or -- and a wall -- or a wall ten foot
above the center line elevation.
De Weerd: And I think that's what we required.
Bird: We have been requiring that all along there at the residential use and I don't
believe any has slipped by us since we had one slip by us on Eagle Road. Before your
time. So, I would be that -- and I would -- I, for one, sir, would -- on the one acre lots, I
would -- I wouldn't vote on anything or approve anything that wasn't at least R-2 myself
on that.
De Weerd: Any other questions for the applicant? No? Okay. Thank you, sir.
Holt: Thank you.
De Weerd: Any other testimony on this application? Okay.
Wardle: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. -Wardle.
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 63 of 72
Wardle: Question and clarification for both Planning and Zoning and Public Works. As I
understand this, we are -- we are annexing and zoning the entire 29 acres; is that
correct?
Canning: Correct.
Wardle: So, we will be including all the homes, as well as the school and the church
site as well?
Canning: I believe the church is not part of the application.
Wardle: Okay. And, then, a question for Len. If these applications are approved, they
would need the sewer capacity before being able to obtain a building permit; is that
correct?
Grady: That's correct.
Wardle: Okay.
De Weerd: So, how does that work when there is not sewer capacity out there? Do
you just wait until there is --
Nary: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: A couple suggestions. If you want to make clear on the conditions regarding the
sound buffer, the wall along Chinden, it wasn't proposed to have a development
agreement for this property, but that might be an appropriate place for it. Mrs. Canning
may have a different opinion as to if there is a better spot for that. The other is we have
placed conditions on properties. And I don't recall off the top of my head if it was in a
development agreement or if it was in a conditional approval of a plat was that they
could not develop until the -- there was not current sewer capacity available for this
property and that the developer basically brought this forward at their own risk, so that
they were aware that there was no availability currently. And that it wasn't -- you know,
it wasn't within the next year or whatever notation you wanted to make, but we did that
on property south of the freeway off of Overland for the same reason.
Rountree: We did that on -- just there off Black Cat.
Nary: Right. Black Cat as well.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, there is a very specific condition of
approval. And I will read it to you. It's a little bit long. Westborough Subdivision has
designed and installed a private sewer lift station as part of an earlier phase. When
Public Works reviewed and accepted the plans for the -- for this lift station staff was
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 64 of 72
approving it for only the five lots for which it was proposed and five commercial lots.
With the added multiple family dwelling units, engineering staff had some reservations
on the ability of this lift station to service the proposed extra volume of effluent. The
applicant shall install a flow meter to measure the true amount of flow that is being
generated by this development, thereby enabling engineering staff to determine how
many lots of this maybe developed until gravity sewer becomes available. The
applicant shall be responsible to construct all required sewer mains, service projects
main, sizing and routing to be coordinated with Public Works. So, I just wanted you to
be aware that's the existing condition. So, if you want to -- if you want to go with
something that's a little more specific, then, we probably need to go and remove this
one as well.
De Weerd: Is that specific enough for Public Works, Len?
Grady: Yeah. That does work. Again, they did come up with a modified design to their
lift station. It may -- that helps mitigate the problem. But, certainly, the condition as
read there works for us.
De Weerd: Okay.
Canning: Just to be real quick. I know that Public Works hasn't had much time to
review that letter, but it's from the civil engineers, WH Pacific, and it basically says that
preliminary evaluation indicates that increasing the diameter of the wet well from five
feet to 6.1 feet should adequately meet the design operation requirements for the newly
proposed conditions. That is a little bit more technical than that, but that's kind of the
gist of it. So, I think ~ once the civil engineers can clarify that with Public Works,
everything will hopefully work out.
De Weerd: Okay. Mr. Wardle, did you have anything?
Wardle: I have some comments. Would you like them now?
De Weerd: Sure.
Wardle: My specific comments in regard to the overall annexation and zoning are that
we typically see in annexation and zoning and in these outlying areas we see the larger
property owners and the one-acre lots coming forward in opposition to higher density
and mixed use. This application incorporates mixed use, but also is bringing those
larger lots within the city. So, something that we -- that is different I -- also from the
design standpoint, like the way that multi-family is taking an internal drive separating out
the carports again, getting rid of the entire sea of asphalt, and agree that the buffering
along the other areas for the -- I believe the church and the school area is adequate and
as a use does not require that full 20-foot width.
Donnell: Madam Mayor?
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 65 of 72
De Weerd: Mrs. Donnell.
Donnell: Just a question for the applicant. I hope that there is some planned gates or
openings that you will make sure that you have in there for that future elementary
school.
Holt: Absolutely. There is a sidewalk connection that comes straight through here and
connects to that school.
Donnell: I should have just looked.
Holt: It's hard to see on that.
Donnell: Well, the microphone was right in front. Thank you.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I don't hear anymore public comment. Anybody need anymore public comment?
I would move that we close the public hearings 24, 25, and 26.
Wardle: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. Motion to close the public hearings on 24 through 26. All those in
favor say aye. All ayes. - Motion carries.
MOTION CARRI ED: ALL AYES.
De Weerd: Any discussion?
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: And I should have probably mentioned this with the applicant. He can nod. But I
think before I could vote or make a motion on the plan or the annexation and zoning, we
need a development agreement to make sure that all these things get in, like the berm
on Chinden going from the an R-8 down to an R-2, and all that. So, I have no problem
with the annexation and zoning, as long as those changes -- and we have a
development agreement. And I don't know what the other Council -- that can discuss
this or what they think or --
Rountree: Is that your motion?
Bird: I will make a motion if you like.
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 66 of 72
De Weerd: Okay.
Bird: Madam Mayor, I move that we approve AZ 05-018, the request for annexation
and zoning of 29.18 acres to R-4, R-2, and R-15 zone for Westborough Square
Subdivision to get a development agreement that includes the proper noise abatement
along Chinden and all other stuff that was discussed by staff and applicant that is not in
Planning and Zoning conditions.
Wardle: Second.
Bird: Is that clear?
De Weerd: And was the proper stuff is what was in the code?
Bird: That is -- that's the code. That is the proper -- the code is the property noise
abatement. The ten-foot wall or ten foot berm from centerline elevation to the road of
Chinden Boulevard.
De Weerd: Yes, Anna.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, just to clarify, that's the proposed
language from the Unified Development Code and it's a wall and berm and in
combination of ten feet, but the wall can't be any higher than six feet, because it's a
residential district. So, it would be a four-foot berm and a six-foot wall.
Bird: It don't say that in there, but that's fine with me. That's absolutely fine with me.
That's something you can put in the development agreement.
Canning: Okay.
Bird: I mean all I want is the noise abatement ten foot tall. I don't care if it's all berm or
all block.
De Weerd: You don't want to ten-foot block--
Bird: It looks pretty good along the freeway.
De Weerd: I'm sure the residential would love that.
Nary: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Nary.
Nary: And I don't know if this is in the development agreement or if Mrs. Canning has
an opinion. The discussion was between a 35-foot setback and a 40-foot setback and
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 67 of 72
the issue was whether to have the five-foot sidewalk on the residential side, which only
makes sense. But I don't know -- I want to make sure if that needs to be in the
development agreement that we have that. And I don't know if Mrs. Canning has an
opinion on 35 versus 40. The applicant stated they prefer the 35.
Canning: Yes. And in the new code, which I really hope will get adopted soon, we did
take out on the larger setbacks, we do get them credit for those five feet. In this case,
though, just for the Council's consideration, it's going to be difficult to get a four-foot
berm and a six-foot -- well, maybe they do have enough room, but it may be a little tight
on the landscaping anyway. J would question whether you would want the path on the
inside, because I think -- I'm not sure that there will be a sidewalk on the other --
adjoining the street, so --
De Weerd: We need it on the roadside.
Canning: I would think you would want it on the roadside. Yes. That's what I was
trying to say.
Bird: That's fine. And the 35 feet should be enough to get the berm and still get the one
-- the meandering sidewalk.
Canning: And maybe Phil can do some quick calculations, but it's a three-to-one slope.
You're still okay? He can do the four-foot with a six foot wall.
De Weerd: Okay. So, that was a motion made. Do I have a second?
Rountree: Can I ask for clarification? On your zoning you said an R-2, R-4, and an R-
15. Do you mean an R-2, an L-O, and an R-15?
Bird: That's right. 1'm sorry. Charlie. Thank you. Thank you. It was an L-O.
Wardle: Second agrees.
Canning: So, R-2, R-4, L-O, and R-15?
Bird: No. No.
Donnell: No. No R-4.
Rountree: No R-4.
Bird: R-2.
Canning: No. The ---
Bird: L-O and R-15.
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 68 of 72
Canning: Oh, you want to make the school L-O now?
Bird: We have got an R-4. We have got to leave that in there. Thank you, Anna.
Canning: Okay.
Bird: We just have to add that L-O to that. We knew we kept you here for some
reason.
Canning: Do I hear a C-N? Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, the maker of the
motion, just to clarify including all the changes discussed by the applicant, that is that
the landscape plan as submitted is sufficient for the 20-foot buffers. Is that what the
maker of the motion intended?
Bird: Yes.
Canning: Okay.
Bird: I do agree with that.
De Weerd: Okay. Any other points of clarification? Okay. So, the maker of the motion
is okay with where we are at right now?
Bird: When we see the development agreement and the Findings. Yes, I am.
De Weerd: And we probably want new Findings along with that.
Bird: Yes.
De Weerd: Okay. If there is no further discussion, Mr. Berg, will you call roll on Item
24.
Roll-Call: Bird, aye; Rountree, aye; Wardle, aye; Donnell, aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
De Weerd: Thank you. Item 25. Mr. Bird.
Bird: Madam Mayor, I move that we approve CUP 05-027, with the -- oh, I'm sorry. I
got -- I'm on 26. I'm sorry. I move we approve PP 05-020, the preliminary plat. And to
incorporate staff and applicant public comments.
Wardle: Second.
Meridian City Council
July 26, 2005
Page 69 of 72
Bird: And include -- well, we have already changed it to L-O up there, so we wouldn't
have to do it down here, would we?
Wardle: No.
Bird: We have already given the classification. So, that's the end of my motion.
Canning: Madam -- oh, 1111 wait for a second.
Bird: What did I do wrong now?
Wardle: I will second it.
De Weerd: Okay. There is a motion and a second. Anna.
Canning: Nothing wrong, sir. Just wanted to clarify. On the -- with staff and applicant
comments, I think the comments specifically for the 35 foot sidewalk and the 20 foot
buffer are part of the preliminary plat. So, I just wanted to make sure that was --
Bird: Part of the preliminary plat. And we had already taken -- I thought we had
clarified that in the development agreement; is that not right?
Canning: I was just trying to make it clear for record. That's all.
Bird: So, it would be clarified in this, too. Is that not right?
Canning: Yes, sir.
Bird: Okay. Yeah. I agree with you, Anna. Thank you.
De Weerd: Okay. Anything further? Mr. Berg.
Roll-Call: Bird, aye; Rountree, aye; Wardle, aye; Donnell, aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
De Weerd: Okay. Item 26. Mr. Berg.
Bird: I will get on this one now. I move we approve CUP 05-027, request for
Conditional Use Permit, planned development, for Westborough Square Subdivision
and include all staff and applicant public comments. Thank you.

Zoning Amendment Findings
According to Meridian City Code (MCC) 11-15-11, General Standards Applicable to
Zoning Amendments, both the Planning & Zoning Commission and Council are required
"to review the particular facts and circumstances of each proposed zoning amendment in
terms ofthe following standards and shall find adequate evidence answering the
following questions about the proposed zoning amendment."
The following is the list of standards found in 11-15-11:
Will the new zoning be harmonious with and in accordance with the Comprehensive
Plan and, if not, has there been an application for a Comprehensive Plan
amendment;
In Chapter VII of the Comprehensive Plan, 'medium density' is defined as areas
including single-family homes at densities of three to eight dwelling units per
acre. Staff finds that the requested zoning designation, R-8, is harmonious with
and in accordance with the 2002 Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map,
which designates the land to be "Medium Density Residential". The 3.58 dwelling
units per acre proposed with the preliminary plat are consistent with previous
Commission and Council actions and generally conform to the goals, objectives,
and action items contained in the Comprehensive Plan for this area. In addition,
the applicant's cover letter (dated March 7, 2005) lists several Comprehensive
Plan policies, all of which support the annexation and proposed residential use of
the property.
Staff finds the following 2002 Comprehensive Plan text policies to be applicable
to this application (staff analysis is in italics below policy):
After evaluating the original preliminary plat submittal and the Comprehensive
Plan policies regarding hazardous use (floodplain), multi-use pathway, and
preservation of natural features areas, staff discussed with the applicants agent
the portion of the site within the floodplain and along the Ridenbaugh Canal, the
Eight-Mile Drain and Ten-Mile Drain designated for multi-use pathways. Staff
expressed concerns that the proposal needed to conform to the purpose statement
of the natural features goals and policies and staff can make the findings to
recommend approval based on the following:
Chapter V A.2 P30 - Hazardous Areas - The purpose of the floodplain District is
to guide development in the flood-prone areas of any watercourse that is
consistent with the requirements for the conveyance of flood flows and to
minimize the expense and inconveniences to the individual property owners and
Exhibit G - Messina Meadows
the general public through flooding. Uses permitted in this district are generally
associated with open space, recreational, and agricultural land uses and do not
hinder the movement of floodwaters.
The applicant has submitted a letter from Paul Kunz (April 28, 2005)
indicating that the applicant has made the first indications of filing for a
Letter of Map Revision to the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The
letter indicates that if the farm access roads are removed within the
Bellingham Park proposal then the lOa-year floods would be contained within
the naturally graded banks of Ten-Mile Creek.
As reported soils types closest to the Ten Mile Creek are prone to flooding
with seasonal high groundwater levels at 5-10jeet below grade.
The submitted plan has seventy (70) lots proposed in the current floodplain
designation.
The applicant has reviewed a letter from John Anderson, of Nampa Meridian
Irrigation District addressing usage along major canal systems. Staff feels
the plat dated March 14, 2005 adequately addresses the location of the multi-
use pathways which provide a buffer from the creeks to residential lots and
will not hinder the movement offloodwaters.
Chapter VI C.2 P71 - Multiuse pathways: Pathways that encourage use by
bicyclists and ~ pedestrians can decrease road congestion and add to the
community's quality of life. The proposed off-street and multiuse pathway
systems are depicted in Figures VI-3 and VI-4. New and existing developments
should ensure that the guidelines laid out in this plan are adopted.
The applicant has included multiuse pathways proposed in this development.
The Comprehensive Plan indicates in Figures VI -3 and VI-4 the locations of
pathways along the Ridenbaugh Canal, Eight Mile Creek, and Ten-Mile
Creek.
In response to the Nampa Meridian Irrigation District letter indicating the
need to have all pathways located away fi'om the interchange of the Ten-Mile
Creek and the Ridenbaugh Canal, the applicant has proposed an alternate
route for the pathway. Staff supports the pathway system in these locations.
With the relocation of the pathways away from the canal systems the applicant
has also proposed a more intensive use closer to the irrigation interchange
than a pathway.
The following goals and policies support the request for additional open
space along natural resources:
Exhibit G - Messina Meadows
· "Preserve and conserve our waterways, wetlands, wildlife habitat, and
other natural resources."(Chapter V, Goal I, Objective AI)
· "Preserve open space for recreation conservation and aesthetics" (Chapter
V, Goal I, Objective A2)
· "Identify waterways, wetlands, and other natural resources for
preservation" (Chapter V, Goal I, Objective A, Action item 1)
· "Identify feasible interconnected greenbelt areas along waterways,
railroads, etc." (Chapter V, Goal I, Objective A, Action item 2)
· . "Develop and maintain greenbelts along waterways" (Chapter V, Goal I,
Objective A, Action item 4)
· "Improve and protect creeks (Five Mile, Eight Mile, Nine Mile, Ten Mile,
South Slough, and Jackson and Evans drainages) throughout commercial,
industrial, and residential areas" (Chapter V, Goal I, Objective A, Action
item 11)
Staff also finds the following 2002 Comprehensive Plan text policies to be
applicable to this application (staff analysis is in italics below policy):
· "Require appropriate landscape and buffers along transportation corridors
(setback, vegetation, low walls, berms, etc.)." (Chapter VII, Goal IV,
Objective D, Action item 4)
As depicted on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map, the applicant
is proposing to construct a 25-foot wide landscape berm with vegetation
along Eagle Road. Staff is supportive of these widths, as long as the entire
buffer lies outside the ultimate right-ofway, and the sidewalk is located
outside of the 25-foot wide buffer (or increase buffer to 40-feet). See Site
Spec{fic Condition #5 in the Preliminary Plat section below.
· "Consider "Accommodating Bicycle and Pedestrian Travel: A Recommended
Approach" from the National Center for Bicycling and Walking in all land use
decisions." (Chapter VI, Goal II, Objective A, #3)
This publication encourages jurisdictions to establish bikeway and walkway
facilities in new construction and reconstruction projects, in a manner that is
safe, accessible and convenient. The proposal as
· "On-street bikeways should be incorporated on all future Collector streets."
(Chapter VI, Figure VI-5)
Figure VI-5 on page 57 of the Comprehensive Plan designates an on-street
bikeway mid-mile between Victory Road and Amity Road. The applicant is
proposing a 36-foot street section for Wrightwood Way (collector). The
applicant has not proposed an onstreet bike path for Locust Grove road
between Victory and Amity but the addition of a 10-foot gravel shoulder for
future expansions should accommodate bike lanes.
Exhibit G - Messina Meadows
A portion of the site located south of the quarter section line is locatd in the "Low
Density Residential" Designation. In Chapter VII of the Comprehensive Plan,
'Low density' is defined as areas including single-family homes at densities of
three dwelling units or less ner acre. The applicant is requesting that all the
subject site be zoned R-8 (Medium Density Residential) and has made a request
for a 'step up' in density. The R-8 district allows for a maximum of eight (8)
dwelling units per acre (MCCll-7-2.C). The applicant's requested design
provides for larger lots consistent with a lower density transitional area. The
comprehensive plan states on Page 104, Objective D- Plan for appropriate uses
within rural areas: "Require new urban density subdivisions which abut or are
proximal to existing low density residential land uses to provide landscaped
screening or transitional densities with larger, more comparable lot sizes to
buffer the intelface between urban level densities and rural residential densities. "
There is one approximately 3 acre lot located immediately south of the property
classified as Low density residential. The applicant has calculated a residential
density of 3.37 dwelling units to the acre for the overall low density designated
area, however the lots surrounding the southern property are significantly larger
and designed in such a manner as to be least intrusive. Although it would be
possible to require an R-4 zoning designation staff sees the value in allowing one
zoning designation on the entire subdivision. Staff supports the step up in
density for this project.
Staff recommends that the Commission and Council rely on staffs analysis,
public testimony received and any comments submitted from any other agencies
or departments regarding whether the proposed zone and subsequent development
is harmonious with and in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan.
B. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be rezoned in the
future;
Concurrent with the annexation and zoning application, the applicant has
submitted a preliminary plat and conditional use permit proposing single-family
lots on the subject site (PP-05-0l9 & CUP-05-026). Staff does not anticipate that
the applicant plans to rezone the subject property in the future if the
accompanying CUP/PD and PP applications are approved.
C. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be developed in the
fashion that would be allowed under the new zoning -for example, a
residential area turning into a commercial area by means of conditional use
permits;
The existing proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Staff does not
anticipate commercial or other uses are planned for the site.
Exhibit G ~ Messina Meadows
D. Has there been a change in the area or adjacent areas which may dictate that
the area should be rezoned. For example, have the streets been widened, new
railroad access been developed or planned or adjacent area being developed
in a fashion similar to the proposed rezone area;
Staff finds that a substantial portion of the land to the north has been developed
(or approved for development) in a manner similar to the proposed subdivision,
with single-family dwelling units. The Tuscany Lakes Development (Tuscany
Lakes, Messina Hills, Messina Village) to the north was approved with a gross
density of 2.34 dwelling units per acre and a school site. Tuscany Lakes
Subdivision is an R-4 subdivision with the lot range from 10,000 sq feet to 30,000
square feet. Neighboring Ada County Developments are in the 1 acre to 5 acre
size range. This development is proposing significantly smaller lots, but within
the acceptable limits for a medium density development bordering a low density
residential area.
There have been no recent street improvements in the area. Further, Eagle Road
(south of Victory Road) is not currently scheduled within ACHD's Five Year
Work Program or Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) for roadway widening.
This entire development is not currently serviceable by the City of Meridian's
sanitary sewer system. Phase I shall be served by a connection in Messina
Village Subdivision #2, while sewer service for the western and southern phases
ofthe development will be via the future main located along Ten-Mile Creek,
through Tuscany Subdivision and piped under the Ridenbaugh Canal. If this
development is approved, it shall be subject to extending the sewer system. Other
urban services, such as water, are near to this site and the applicant should be able
to extend such services to the site in cooperation with Meridian Public Works.
Staff finds that the subject site is more dense than surrounding proposals and
provides a housing type which has not been utilized in the immediate vicinity
(Blocks 22-23). The overall proposal is consistent for development in a fashion
similar to other properties in the area.
E. Will the proposed uses be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to
be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing or intended
character of the general vicinity and that such use will not change the
essential character of the same area;
The applicant has submitted several front elevations for the proposed single-
family homes. If the homes are constructed in substantial compliance with the
submitted elevations, they will be similar in design to other residences in the area.
The existing character of the area will, and is, currently changing. However, this
is one of the first developments to apply for residential uses south of the
Ridenbaugh canal. This development will set the tone for how tbe rest of this area,
particularly the south, develops or does not develop.
Exhibit G - Messina Meadows
The monosed homes must be designed constructed and maintained in significant
comoliance to the recommendations as listed bv the Geotechnical exnerts reoort.
The houses must be desirmed in a fashion as to not allow anv groundwater to
enter the crawlsoaces otherwise the housing products should be constructed
without crawlsoaces.
F. Will the proposed uses not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future
neighboring uses;
Due to other existing and proposed uses near the site, staff does not anticipate that
the proposed zoning/uses will be physically hazardous to future or existing uses or
neighbors in the area.
The floodplain must be engineered as to not hinder any floodwaters leaving the
site. If a flood event occurs and buildings impact the flow of water downstream
then the use may become hazardous to the neighboring properties.
Staff recommends that the Commission and Council rely on staff analysis,
comments from other agencies, and public testimony to determine whether the
proposed use will be disturbing or hazardous to the existing neighboring uses and
future expected uses in this vicinity.
G. Will the area be served adequately by essential public facilities and services
such as highways, streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures,
refuse disposal, water, sewer or that the person responsible for the
establishment - of proposed zoning amendment shall be able to provide
adequately any of such services;
This entire development is not currently serviceable by the City of Meridian's
sanitary sewer system. Phase 1 shan be served by a connection in Messina
Village Subdivision #2, while sewer service for the western and southern phases
of the development will be via the future main located along Ten-Mile Creek,
through Tuscany Subdivision and piped under the Ridenbaugh Canal. lfthis
development is approved, it shall be subject to extending the sewer system. Other
urban services, such as water, are near to this site and the applicant should be able
to extend such services to the site. Water to serve this development is existing or
currently under development with Tuscany Lakes Subdivision. The applicant shall
be responsible for the extension of utilities to and through this proposed
development. Sizing and routing shall be coordinated with the Public Works
Department.
The applicant and/or future property owners will be required to pay park and
highway impact fees as well as construct on-site storm water drainage facilities.
Exhibit G - Messina Meadows
Based on the comments received from other agencies/departments, staff finds that
the public services listed above can be made available to accommodate the
proposed development. The Commission and Council should reference any
written and/or verbal testimony submitted by any public service provider,
regarding their ability to adequately service this project.
H. Will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public
facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of
the community;
If approved, the developer will be financing the extension of sewer, water, public
street infrastructure, utilities and irrigation services to serve the project. The
primary public costs to serve the future residents will be fire, police, school
facilities and services. Staff finds there will not be excessive additional
requirements at public cost and this development will not be detrimental to the
economic welfare of the community.
I. Will the proposed uses not involve uses, activities, processes, materials,
equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any
persons, property or the general welfare by reason of excessive production of
traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors;
Staff recognizes that traffic and noise will increase with the approval of a
development on this site; however, staff does not believe that the amount
generated will be detrimental to the general welfare of the public. Staff does not
anticipate that annexation and development in accordance with current city code
and the Comprehensive Plan will create excessive noise, smoke, fumes, glare, or
odors.
Fencing along all canals and watelWays shall be a minimum of 6' in height and
constructed of non-combustible materials as to not interfere with regular
maintenance of ditches and waterways by Nampa Meridian lITigation District.
J. Will the area have vehicular approaches to the property which shall be so
designed as not to create an interference with traffic on surrounding public
streets;
The applicant is proposing to construct one public street entrance into the site
from Eagle Road and a public street connection to the site from Amity Road and a
stub street at the Y2 section line as outlined by the comprehensive plan. The
proposed public street entrances to Eagle and Amity Roads have been proposed to
ACHD. If all vehicular approaches (streets) are approved and constructed in
accordance with ACHD policies, staff does not believe that the subdivision will
create interference with traffic on the sUITounding public streets. Please review
any comments from ACHD for this project for additional information regarding
this finding.
Exhibit G - Messina Meadows
K. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic
feature of major importance; and
The comprehensive plan defines the Ten-Mile Creek and Eight Mile Creek as a
natural features of importance, as described in the Annexation and Zoning
Analysis A. The applicant should make all attempts at preservation ofthis natural
feature. There are many game species in the vicinity which utilize the drainage
systems for habitat.
Any existing trees larger than 4" caliper that are removed should be mitigated for,
per the Landscape Ordinance.
Staff recommends that the Commission and Council reference any public
testimony that may be presented to determine whether or not the proposed
development may result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic
feature(s) of importance of which staff is unaware.
L. Is the proposed zoning amendment in the best interest of the City of
Meridian. (Ord. 592, 11-17-1992)?
In accordance with the findings listed above, staff finds that the
annexationlzoning ofthis property, as proposed by the applicant, would be in the
best interest of the City.
Exhibit G - Messina Meadows
EXHIBIT H
Messina Meadows Subdivision PP-05-019
Preliminary Plat Findings
Sections 12-3-3 J.2 and 12-3-5 D read as follows: "In determining the acceptance ofa
proposed subdivision, the Commission/Council shall consider the objectives of this title
and at least the following:
A. The conformance of the subdivision with the Comprehensive Development
Plan;
Please see Annexation and Zoning Analysis "A" above.
B. The availability of public services to accommodate the proposed
development;
Please see Annexation and Zoning Analysis "G" above.
C. The continuity of the proposed development with the capital improvement
program;
Because the developer will be required to install sewer, water, and utilities for the
development at their cost, staff finds that a development on this property will not
require the expenditure of capital improvement funds.
D. The public financial capability of supporting services for the proposed
development;
The development will not require major expenditures for providing supporting
services. Staff recommends the Commission and Council rely upon comments
submitted from the public service providers (i.e. police, fire, ACHD, etc.) to
determine this finding. (See finding "G" under Annexation and Zoning Analysis
above, and the Agency Comments and Conditions at the end of this report for
more detail.)
E. The other health, safety or environmental problems that may be brought to
the Commission's attention.
Staff finds that there should not be any health, safety or environmental problems
associated with this subdivision that should be brought to the Council or
Commission's attention; other than the floodway and potential groundwater/soils
issues previously discussed, no hazardous natural features have been identified on
the site. ACHD considers road safety issues in their analysis. Staff finds the
Commission and Council should rely on any public testimony that may be
presented to determine whether the proposed use may cause health, safety or
environmental problems of which staff are aware.
EXHIBIT I
Messina Meadows Subdivision
CUP-05-026
CUP/PD Findings
The Commission and Council shall review the particular facts and circumstances of each
proposed conditional use in terms of the following and may approve a conditional use
permit if they shall find evidence presented at the hearing(s) is adequate to establish (11-
17-3):
A. That the site is large enough to accommodate the proposed use and all yards,
open spaces, parking, landscaping and other features as may be required by
this ordinance;
As part of the Planned Development (PD) the applicant is requesting relief from
the standard street frontage requirement and lot size requirement and standard
setbacks, as required by Meridian City Code. See Special Consideration #1 below
for detailed analysis.
Staff finds that the subject property is large enough to acconunodate the requested
use and all other required features. Although the site is large enough to
accommodate all of the features required by ordinance, the applicant has asked,
through the Planned Development, to modify specific development standards.
B. That the propo~sed use and development plan will be harmonious with the
Meridian Comprehensive Plan and in accordance with the requirements of
this Ordinance;
Staff finds that the proposed single-family residential subdivision, with a gross
density of3.58 dwelling units per acre, is generally harmonious with and in
accordance with the 2002 Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map, which
designates the site to be "Medium Density Residential" and "Low Density
Residential" (provided the Commission and Council grant the requested planned
development). Please see Annexation & Zoning Analysis "A" above.
C. That the design, construction, operation, and maintenance will be compatible
with other uses in the general neighborhood and with the existing or
intended character of the general vicinity and that such use will not adversely
change the essential character of the same area;
Please see Annexation & Zoning Analysis "E" above.
D. That the proposed use, if it complies with all conditions of the approval
imposed, will not adversely affect other property in the vicinity;
Exhibit I - Messina Meadows
Staff recommends that the Commission and Council rely upon public testimony,
staffs analysis, and other agency comments when determining if the proposed
uses will adversely affect other properties in the vicinity.
E. That the proposed use will be served adequately by essential public facilities
and services such as highways, street, police, and fire protection, drainage
structures, refuse disposal, water, sewer or that the person responsible for
the establishment of proposed conditional use shall be able to provide
adequately any such services;
Please see Annexation & Zoning Analysis "G" and "H" above, the Other
Agency/Department Comments and Conditions at the end of this report, and any
comments that may be submitted to the City Clerk regarding this project.
F. That the proposed use will not create excessive additional requirements at
public cost for public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the
economic welfare of the community;
Please see Annexation & Zoning Analysis "H" above.
G. That the proposed use will not involve activities or processes, materials,
equipment, and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any
persons, property, or general welfare by reason of excessive production of
traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors;
Please see Annexation and Zoning Analysis "I" above.
H. That the proposed use will have vehicular approaches to the property which
shall be so designed as not to create an interference with traffic on
surrounding public streets;
Please see Annexation & Zoning Analysis "J" above. The Commission and
Council should review any comments received from the ACHD provide for this
project when determining this finding.
I. That the proposed use will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a
natural, scenic or historic feature considered to be of major importance.
Please see Annexation & Zoning Analysis "K" above.
SPECIAL CONSIDERA TraNS-CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
1. Reduced Standards: As stated earlier, the applicant is requesting modifications
from standard ordinance requirements for street frontage and lot size.
Lot Size: The applicant has requested reduced lot sizes; the submitted preliminary
plat has lots below the 6,500 square-foot minimum size. Therefore, a modification
Exhibit I - Messina Meadows
to the standard R-8 lot size of 6,500 square-feet is applicable. The proposed lot
sizes range from 3,600 square-feet to 30,713 square-feet.
Lot Fronta2:e: The minimum requested street frontage is 40-feet. There are lots
that have between 40-feet and 168-feet of frontage (65-feet is the minimum for
the R-8 zone). The Lots located in Blocks 22 and 23 along the private streets and
the lots to be accessed through Common Drives also require relief from the
minimum street frontage. Staff is supportive of reducing the frontage for some of
the lots as it provides lot diversity.
Setbacks: The minimum requested setbacks as defined by the submittal of
3/14/05 is detailed above. Staff recommends that all street setbacks comply with
these requests (See Site Specific Conditions-Preliminary Plat). Side yard
setbacks shall be five (5) feet and rear yard setbacks shall be 15 feet. Staff would
recommend even greater setbacks for lots along canals and watelWays to help
mitigate any NMID issues.
2. Amenities: MCC 12-6-2.A.3 requires two or more amenities to be provided as
part of each planned development. The proposed amenities for the subject planned
development include: a 8.5-acre public park, an extensive open space lot system
for multi-use pathways and a common lot with a clubhouse and a pool. The
proposed open space makes up greater than 10% of the site, 5% minimum is
required and it takes 10% to count open space as an amenity. However, on site
parking for the public park has not been addressed by the applicant. On-street
parking will be limited adjacent to the 8.5 acre park along the collector roadways.
The applicant is proposing parking for the clubhouse located on Lot 3, Block 1 to
be located off of Tusa Street. As proposed, staff believes the proposed park and
open space areas provide sufficient amenities relative to the size of the proposed
development. Landscaped open space means land exclusive of street rights-of-
way and street buffers, except for right-of-way specifically dedicated for
landscaping within a subdivision. The applicant states that the total open space
areas account for 18.68 acres of which approximately 14-acres count toward open
space which meets the open space definition in the PD ordinance. No drainage
lots, required street buffers, or canal buffers have been included in this
calculation.
3. Elevations: The applicant has submitted several front elevation drawings for the
proposed dwelling units. Staff believes that the dwelling units will be compatible
with the adjoining uses, if the buildings are constructed as shown on the submitted
elevations. Construction within Messina Meadows Subdivision should
substantially comply with the elevations submitted by the applicant. Construction
materials used on the structures should be approved by the City of Meridian
Building Department and in accordance with the most recent Uniform Building
Code. See Site Specific Condition #4 below.

AGREEMENT.
Attachment A--Scope of Work and Schedule for City of Meridian
Pretreatment Program Application Modifications
Introduction
Shown below is our scope of work, proposed schedule, and estimated fee to respond to Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) comments regarding Meridian's Pretreatment Program Application. Work
includes collecting data consistent with the July,2004 EPA Local Limits Development Guidance to justify
technically-based local limits on the 15 national Pollutants of Concern (POC) listed in the Guidance;
recalculating the local limits based on the new data; and responding to other comments in the EP A letter
received on June 20th.
Task 1.0-Project Management
The purpose of this task is to provide for the initiation and overall management of the PROJECT activities.
An overall schedule and work plan will be implemented to assure work activities are completed in a
properly integrated and timely manner, and includes those elements necessary to properly manage, lead,
and control the PROJECT. This task also includes periodic progress meetings with City staff, preparation
of project instructions, and administrative tasks. Internal quality control reviews will occur under this task.
Task 2.O-Refme the Sampling Plan
Previous data used was not consistent with Exhibit 3-1 and Table 4-1 in the new EP A Guidance document,
and as noted in the EP A letter. Data is to be collected in accordance with Table 4-1 for the 15 POCs listed
in Exhibit 3-1 of the Guidance document. Table 4-1 requires sampling the plant influent, effluent, and
sludge on consecutive days. With the exception of BOD, TSS, and ammonia data, we believe there ~s no
sample data available where the national POCs were sampled on consecutive days. Based on this, we have
developed a draft sampling plan as shown in Table One below. The sampling plan assumes the City
already bas 14 consecutive days of influent and effluent BOD, TSS, and ammonia data. Our pricing
assumes the City will cover the all costs of sampling including labor and laboratory expenses.
EP A is adamant that key manhole sampling be accomplished to determine if there are unknown industries
and pollutants in Meridian. Therefore we have assumed 2 manholes will be sampled, however, we still
need to determine tbe specific manholes. We recommend that the results of the influent sampling be
reviewed before sampling of key manholes occurs. If no poes are in the plant influent, we will discuss
this with EP A to determine if a waiver of key manhole sampling will be granted.
We recommend two samples of hauled waste be analyzed for the full suite of POCs in order to show EP A
that it is only septic waste. Five :Mile Creek is the receiving stream with less dilution flow available,
therefore, the worst case in terms of environmental impact. An impartial data set is available on upstream
POC concentrations, therefore sampling will be required on Five :Mile Creek.

Task 3.O-Review and Assemble Data
The Engineer will assemble, review, and summarize the data in spreadsheet format for the purpose of
developing and calculating local limits.
Task 4.O-Review Local Limits Criteria
The Engineer will review the existing local limits criteria for the parameters of concern. Criteria is
currently based on receiving stream water quality, however, we will review biosolids quality and treatment
inhibition.
Task S.O-Recalculate Local Limits
The Engineer will recalculate local limits based on the data collected, the appropriate local limit criteria,
and revised assumptions and approaches as deemed appropriate by the Engineer and Owner using the EP A
Region 10 Spreadsheet.
Task 6.O-Address Other EP A Comments
The Engineer will address other EP A comments in the letter received on June 20th including:
· Total Toxic Organics limits
· Detail domestic, industrial, and receiving stream flow data
· Sewer Use ordinance
· Other miscellaneous comments (edits)
Task 7.O-Prepare Technical Memorandum
The Engineer will prepare a Technical Memorandum that summarizes the approach used to establish draft
revised local limits. The Technical Memorandum will provide the technical justification for the data used
to develop the limits and present the assumptions and approaches used to develop the limits. The
Technical Memorandum wiIll;>e presented to the Owner for review in draft form. After review, the
Technical Memorandum will be revised and presented to the Owner and EP A for review.
Task 8.0-Consult with Owner
During development of the revised local limits, the Engineer will meet twice with the Owner and EP A to
discuss the process and strategies for revising the local limits. The Engineer will also consult with the EP A
in the Owner's behalfto discuss the development of revised local limits. It is assumed this consultation
will occur via telephone conference.
Task 9.0-Modify Pretreatment Program Application and Sewer Use Ordinance
The Engineer will assist the Owner to modify the pretreatment program application and existing sewer use
ordinance as it relates to modifying the current local limits. Up to 20 hours of Engineer's time will be
provided.

Evaluation of Aging Supply Wells and/or WeJls With Water Quality ChaJlenges
Dear Brad:
I have developed this general scope of work, and estimated costs to work with the City
Water Department in much the same capacity as we have for the last 10 years or so. This
scope of work covers emergent problems with supply wells, regulatory compliance and
monitoring issues, source water protection, grolUld water quality challenges, and some
customer-related water quality complaints. Current ongoing projects include
implem~ntation of the new Radionuclides Rule, Disinfection By-Products, Iron, and
Manganese aimed at improving the City's overall water quality and reducing its
unnecessary monitoring requirements. We have submitted applications to IDEQ that
have significantly reduced the City's monitoring and laboratory costs such as the recently
reduced Synthetic Organic Compounds monitoring and reporting.
By keeping general track of our requested consultations over the years, I am
recommending a level of funding that could easily be used by the City for these
endeavors. I have tabulated the costs to complete the work as a single project on the
attached spread sheet. The cost estimates are considered to cover an approximate year's
worth ofprojects for the Water Department.
We stand ready to commence the work right away and to proceed continuously to
completion of each project that comes up. I believe we have a track record of rapid
response to these emergent projects and a high success rate in resolving water chemistry
problems and in reducing the City's costs.
Thank you for considering Hydro Logic, Inc. for this work for the City.

City of Meridian Water Rights Projects Including Future Needs, On-Going Filings,
Beneficial Use Licensing Examinations, Snake River Basin Adjudication, Municipal
Irrigation District, and Comprehensive Post 1987 Water Rights Transfers
Dear Brad:
I have developed a scope of work, and estimated costs to work with the City on a number of
fronts. For many of these projects, the path remains unclear. In all likelihood, there will be
many changes to our plan along the way as some projects are found to be non-fruitful and
others fmd new ways to succeed. Another difficulty in quantifying costs for these projects is
whether the City will be opposed in any of its filings and! or whether the City will have
protests of its own for water rights of others (IMAP or SRBA for example). To that end, I
have done the best job I can of apportioning the costs amongst the projects assigning moderate
numbers to each task. In other words, the requested amounts are more than enough to "sail
throu h" but robabl not enough to go to the ma all in the worst case contested matter.
Under this plan, "sharing" of e ds will most likely be adequate whatever happens. Either
way, I feel quite encouraged that we will accomplish an enormous amount toward putting
Meridians water rights in final order. I believe that we may likely be able to accomplish the
stated tasks for less money and this will be our goal. I predict this because we have already
done a significant amount of work and the existing individual water rights are already in very
good shape.
I have discussed the projects with Charlie Honsinger and he is in agreement on the costs
which are explained in more detail later in this scope of work narrative. The arrangement I
have worked out for the legal aspects of the project is that I would use Ringert Clark as
deemed necessary. I would receive and review their invoices and pass the charges along on
my bills to the City with no mark Up-'; the City would receive one bill. This is an arrangement I
have used before with other clients as well as the City. I believe this will keep costs down and
eliminate much work on your end dealing with more than one person. This does not insulate
you from Ringert Clark and the City is free to contact and discuss water rights at any time; the
bill will simply come through Hydro Logic. Another reason for doing it this way is that we
may need to seek other attorneys for some jobs (municipal irrigation district for example;
explained below).
I have tabulated the costs to complete the work as a single project on the attached spread
sheet. The cost estimates are considered maximum amounts and it is my hope and intention
to reduce costs at every opportunity. I intend to include a budget spreadsheet for this project
that details the monies spent and monies remaining as an attachment to each of my successive
invoices.
We stand ready to commence the work right away and to proceed continuously to completion
of the project without interruption. The following narratives correlate with the spreadsheet
tasks to explain, in more detail, the scope of work.
FUTURE NEED ANALYSIS AND ApPLICATION
This task entails two separate approaches. The first is finding and acquiring existing water
rights to be held for reasonably anticipated future needs. This includes our hope to find a
block of water with irrigation districts and or available water rights that we discover from
transitioning agricultural lands or developments. The second approach is the analysis and
application for a new 200S-priority future needs water right. This is our current plan to use
the north planning area as a test case and to follow this through the process. The estimated
costs include the alternate approach of hiring an economist/planner (such as Don Reading) if
necessary to make predictions on growth and land use. Our current (north planning area)
approach does not need such an analysis. We have already obtained IDWR conceptual buy-in
on our planned approach, we just need to do it. Estimated costs are $ 20K.
SNAKE RIvER BASIN ADJUDICATION
This will entail following the SRBA through the next year. The IDWR's preliminary
recommendations for the City's water rights will be reviewed and analyzed prior to the final
recommendations being released to the general public. The water rights of others may be also
reviewed (UWID) for insight into how the SRBA is treating municipal water rights. It is
conceivable that the cities that were de-facto partners in the !MAP case could unite again if
there are issues.
The UWID recommendations will be reviewed with respect to damages to Meridian and the
options for moving on or digging in our heels will be presented. This task (SRBA) will have
more legal hours than the others as a percentage. If our claims sail through and we do not
wish to protest anyone else, this will be a rather inexpensive task (estimate $7K-to-$10K). If
there are protests of the City's rights or if the City should choose to object to IMAP costs
would be significantly greater (estimate as high as $80K). Estimated costs for this task are
$ lSK.
MUNICIPAL WATER RIGHTS TRANSFERS FOR POST 1987 WATER RIGHTS
Transfer applications (or a single application) will be developed and filed to add all wells as
points of diversion for all water rights. The current Licenses that were encumbered with the
"moratorium conditions" of not being able to irrigate park lands and common areas will have
those conditions removed from the rights. This may entail filing a single transfer up front, to
2
flush out the problems, and following it up with a comprehensive transfer. The smaller
application would be less apt to be protested and it would set a precedent. The expense of this
item ranges from ~$5K for an non-protested comprehensive transfer application to $20K for a
protested matter. Transfer of rights from abandoned wells (Well #3 for example) will be
accomplished as well. Estimated costs are $ 7~K.
NEW WATER RIGHT FILINGS AND IN-LINE BENEFICIAL USE EXAMINATIONS
This task entails finalizing approximately five beneficial use field examinations and writing
up licensing recommendations to the IDWR for wells 20-B through 26. It also covers new
filings required for new wells amendments to permits, and or required transfer application if
necessary. Estimated costs are $ 7~K.
MUNICIPAL IRRIGATION DISTRICT
This is a provision to negotiate with Nampa Meridian Irrigation District and work out the
details of the City developing a municipal irrigation district where NMID would simply
supply the irrigation water to the City but the City would operate and design the system,
needed wells, etc. This task is tantamount to the City receiving a "future needs" block of
guaranteed water from Nampa and Meridian Irrigation District for its future use; irrigation or
otherwise. I see this as a first step to resolving the City's future water supply needs without
spending millions of dollars to do so. Whether this would a wholesale takeover of existing
systems or a new upstart fore new systems would be worked out; a combination is the
expected result. Preliminary estimated costs are $7K.
UNEXPECTED PROTEST OF THE CITY'S WATER RIGHTS OR A CITY PROTEST OF OTHER'S
RIGHTS
This task is a place holder for the likelihood of the City's water right filings being protested
and having to whether through a contested administrative proceeding. Similarly, It is
conceivable that the City may discover a water rights application that it needs to protest. Both
situations have occurred in the past. Given the increasing contentiousness of recent filings,
and the large number of filings the City is proposing, we believe this budget item is warranted.
Estimated costs are $ 8K.

Hydrogeologic Design, Consultation, Inspection Services, Geotechnical Services, &
Oversight of the Proposed City of Meridian's # 27 Municipal Supply Well
Dear Brad:
I have developed a scope of work, and estimated costs to work with you on the
specifications, design, drilling, construction, and hydraulic testing of a new City water
supply well. We understand that finished water-quality is a major concern of the City and
this proposal is directed toward developing a well with the best water-chemistry as well
as the best annular seals to protect against contamination.
I have tabulated the costs to complete the work as a single project on the attached spread
sheet. The cost estimates are considered maximum amounts and I would recommend a
15 percent contingency owing to the inherent unknowns of subsurface exploration and
drilling.
We stand ready to commence the work right away and to proceed continuously to
completion of the project without interruption. The following narratives correlate with
the spreadsheet tasks to explain, in more detail, the scope of work.
Regulatory SubmittalslWell Site Approval
This task includes obtaining, compiling, and review of all available information including
Driller's Reports, water quality, water-levels, well locations, nearby sources of pollution,
existing City water rights files, and other site characteristics. This information will be
used in filings for drilling permits and DEQ site approval (including a preliminary check-
list). Digline will be contacted for buried utilities and the water rights filed with IDWR.
Technical Well Drilling Specifications and Bid Documents.
Contractual agreements, specifications and bid documents for the supply well will be
developed. A public drinking water system submittal to DEQ for well site and well-
construction approval will be executed with three stamped sets of plans but I have
included this in the Regulatory approvals.
Project Coordination With Staff, Driller, and City.
This includes staff briefings, meetings at the City, calls to and from the driller, e-mails,
transmitta1letters, and faxes to the City over the entire length of the project and as the
proj ect progresses.
On Site Well Drilling and Surface Seal Oversight.
This task includes measurement of the drillers tools, on-site observation of the surface
seal casing depth and verification of the surface seal according to IDWR rules. Geologist
to be on site during the last portion of the pump-chamber casing bore to verify that the
geologic section is the same as the test-well and to arrest drilling at the selected seal
location. TIlls task includes the design and oversight of the drilling and on-site logging of
the drill cuttings.
Borehole Geophysics
This is a provision to run borehole geophysical logs in the supply well should it be
deemed necessary; for example if the supply well lithology appeared different from the
test-well lithology or ifvoids are suspected. This provision includes natural gamma-ray,
single-point resistivity, caliper, and temperature logs.
Final Well Design.
Sieve analyses of target aquifer sands will be conducted and a graphic lithologic log will
be constructed from drill cuttings and compared and interpreted with respect to
geophysical logs of the test-well. Geophysics will be interpreted to most accurately place
aquifer/aquitard units with respect to screen locations aild optimum yield.
Casing, Seal, Well ScreenlFilter Sand Installation Oversight.
On site inspection services to include installation and centralization of the PVC casing
including observation and documentation of the full-depth surface seal. Well screen,
packer reducer assembly, and filter sand specifications will be verified and measurements
taken for as-built construction drawings.
Hydraulic Testing, Well Development, and Sampling
This task includes coordination and observation of well development techniques along
with the installation of the packer-reducer assembly and well head flange. Pumping test
design and scheduling for constant-discharge and stepped-discharge testing periods, to
include pump-setting, HP, discharge considerations, and measuring/sampling ports. We
will oversee the testing which may include some development testing, stepped-discharge
testing, and constant-discharge testing. DEQ/USEP A water quality sampling for Public
Drinking Water Systems, delivery to the lab of City's choice. On-site supervision,
sampling protocol, and pump-sampling equipment. Fields parameters of temperature,
pH, conductivity, and sand content are to be measured. Laboratory costs for water
analyses are not included in our cost estimate.
Down Hole Camera Survey and Well Disinfection.
This task includes disinfection of the completed well and scheduling, on-site
observation, and review of a down hole camera survey of the completed welL Includes
field notes and archive quality videotape delivered to the City with back-up copy kept at
Hydro Logic, Inc.
Final Report and Regulatory Submittals.
A fmal comprehensive report to the City will be prepared and a [mal DEQ Checklist will
be submitted. This task includes consolidation of all pertinent documentation, sketches,
diagrams, plots, letters, permits, and regulatory submittals into a bound document for
future reference. DEQ submittals will be coordinated with the City and include all
necessary revisions etc.

Dear Brad:
Under cover of this letter, please find two signed copies of our proposed contract for
ground water studies for the Meridian aquifer system. I believe these studies to be very
basic, fundamental investigations that provide essential information for the growing and
future City. The resultant docwnents will be long-term (forever) references that will be
used again and again (and hopefully improved on) in the future. Documentation of the
information that is in my head is necessary so that the wheel does not get reinvented over
and over again by future consultants that have to start from ground zero. I foresee that
many good ideas and concepts will grow from these investigations that can only be
realized by actually spending the time and writing it up. We have talked about doing
these studies for years and I believe the time has come. Should you decide not to do the
studies, that of course is the City's prerogative and I will cease beating this drum. I
would not be doing my job for you, however, if I let this opportunity go by without my
strong recommendation to move forward with the studies. I believe the costs are very
low with respect to the deliverable products, partly because of the incredible data base we
have to work with and partly because of my research interest in getting this written up.
Please call to discuss if you have questions on the scope of work.
If you would like us to carry out the work and direct the project, please sign both
contracts and return the copy marked Hydro Logic, Inc in the stamped and addressed
envelope provided.
Thank you for considering us for this important work for the City.
Respectfully,

City of Meridian Hydrogeologic Framework I Ground Water
Geochemistry Studies and Development of a Ground Water Master Plan
Dear Brad:
I have written up the following scope of work, and estimated costs to work with the City on a
hydrogeologic framework! groundwater geochemistry evaluation in support of the development
of a ground water master plan for the City. This is a project we have been discussing for years
and one that Gary Smith had previously asked me to develop a proposal for. I am of the opinion
that this project is one of great need and merit for a number of reasons: 1) It would compile and
synthesize all of hydrogeologic, geophysical, geologic, and geochemical data that the City has
developed over the last fifteen years into a single report with observations, conclusions, and
recommendations, 2) cross-sectional diagrams of the sub-surface would be generated to better
illustrate the three dimensional framework of the aquifer system, 3) the study could be the data
base for any number offuture regulatory and water right matters to be addressed, 4) the study
would serve as the conceptual model necessary to future computer modeling of the aquifer
system, 5) the report would document all of our unpublished [mdings on the aquifer system from
our studies over the years (mostly in my head at this time), 6) it would provide the basis for the
City's desire to declare an Area of Drilling Concern, 7) if and when sub-surface contaminants
begin to show up, this work would provide a basis to deal with it and to predict where it will
migrate, and 8) well-head protection, source water protection, and water rights are other
concepts that would benefit from such a study. The details are explained below.
The Ground Water Master Plan will be the most immediately useful product to the City in terms
oflong and short term planning. This is envisioned as a stand-alone document that would
complement your general water master plan.
You are aware that the hydrogeologic framework study is a project that I would like to publish in
a peer-reviewed professional journal and that I have a personal interest in doing so. This desire,
on my part, is responsible for the low cost of a project of this magnitude. With the City's
blessing to publish, I am willing to devote significant personal time to this project. Obviously,
no proprietary City data would be released and the City would be given full credit for its support,
vision, and' good work. Obviously, there would be no charges to the City for the research report
which would not actually be commenced until the City's reports are completed and accepted.
I have tabulated the costs to complete the work as a single project on the attached spread sheet.
The cost estimates are not-to-exceed amounts. I intend to include a budget spreadsheet for this
project that details the monies spent and monies remaining as an attachment to each of my
successive invoices. The amounts are estimates but, also, not-to-exceed numbers.
We stand ready to commence the work right away and to proceed continuously to completion of
the project without interruption. The following narratives correlate with the spreadsheet tasks to
explain, in more detail, the scope of work.
HYDROGEOLOGIC FRAMEWORK / GEOCHEMISTRY STUDIES
This task entails two separate approaches. The first is developing a three dimensional conceptual
model of the Meridian sub-surface. The lithologic logs, geophysical records, hydraulic testing,
ground water monitoring data would be compiled and synthesized into cross-sectional (cut-away)
diagrams of the upper 1000 feet of geologic section beneath Meridian. These drawings would be
used to correlate between aquifer units and well completion intervals. Besides characterizing the
basin sediments, aquifer pressures and significant observations would be documented for future
investigations and discoveries. At this time, I am the only one with detailed knowledge of the
sub-surface and of all the intricacies of our 15 years of unpublished experiments and drilling
projects. I think it important to record this knowledge for future workers and in the event
something would happen to me. Updated monitoring results with a synopsis of our interpretation
of the water level data would be included. Water wells of significance that do not belong to the
City would be referenced as well along with seismic information and Treasure Valley Hydrologic
Project data from Meridian. The dynamics of ground water recharge would be addressed with
predictions on future anthropogenic contamination issues. Finally, and most usefully, this report
would include conclusions and recommendations on the future development and protection of the
ground water resource relied upon by the City of Meridian. Estimated costs are $ 20K.
GROUND WATER MASTER PLAN
This will entail drawing from the hydrogeologic framework data and information from individual
City supply wells. Total productive yield from each City well site, including consideration of
multiple wells, will be estimated, each individual well will be evaluated with respect to its
maximum production potential and existing condition. A well maintenance schedule and priority
will be tabulated for capital planning purposes. GroWld water chemistry results will be analyzed
from the perspective of future wells, future water quality concerns, and changing conditions
within the aquifer. Well drilling practices, other than the City's, will be discussed with respect to
damages to the aquifer; domestic and agricultural wells will be addressed. A chapter on water
rights will be included as well as the potential effects of production wells along the periphery of
the Meridian Water Service Area. Conclusions and recommendations will be detailed in
narrative form. Available water level and hydraulic test data will be used without any new
measurements other than the potential for SCADA data from the City in electronic form.
Estimated costs for this task are $ lOK.

Evaluation of Aging Supply Wells and/or Wells With Water Quality Challenges
Dear Brad:
I have developed a scope of work, and estimated costs to work with the City on the
evaluation of existing municipal supply wells for 1) replacement, 2) modification, 3)
maintenance, and or repair in advance of an emergent situation. Several of the City's
wells are aging and some produce less than desirable water to Meridian's customers.
Wells that have been identified as qualifYing for such work include Wells #7, # 1 0, and/or
# 11. Similarly, some recent wells are affected by water geochemistry challenges (Well
#23 = radiology and Well #22 = iron and manganese) that should be addressed through
similar evaluations. The investigatiqns would consider geologic, hydrogeologic,
geochemical, and well construction data to develop a short technical memorandum of
observations, conclusions, and recommendations for any given well.
I have tabulated the costs to complete the work as a single project on the attached spread
sheet. The cost estimates are considered to cover a maximum of two wells for the term of
the contract; unless two projects were very straightforward and remaining fund were
available.
We stand ready to commence the work right away and to proceed continuously to
completion of the project without interruption. The following narratives correlate with
the spreadsheet tasks to explain, in more detail, the scope of work.
Thank you for considering Hydro Logic, Inc. for this work for the City.

Zoning Amendment Findings
ANNEXATION AND ZONING FINDINGS
The legal description submitted with the application meets the requirements of the City of
Meridian and State Tax Commission. The subject property is within the Urban Service
Planning Area.
Because there are existing commercial uses on this site, staff has combined the analysis
of use with the annexation and zoning findings.
According to Ordinance 11-15-11, General Standards Applicable to Zoning
Amendments, both the P&Z Commission and Council are reqUired "to review the
particular facts and circumstances of each proposed zoning amendment in terms of the
following standards and shall find adequate evidence answering the following questions
about the proposed zoning amendment. "
The following is the list of standards found in 11-15-11 and analysis by staff
A. Will the new zon4Ig be harmonious with and in accordance with the
Comprehensive Plan and, if not, has there been an application for a
Comprehensive Plan amendment;
The 2002 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designates the subject
property as "Mixed Use - Regional". In Chapter VII of the Comprehensive Plan,
"Mixed Use - Regional" areas are anticipated to provide a higher density
residential uses, greater than 200,000 sq ft non-residential building areas, limited
Conditional Use permits. Uses may include major employers, entertainment, and
clean industry. Staff finds that the requested C-G zoning generally conforms to
this stated purpose and intent of the Mixed Use - Regional designation.
The conceptual plan for the property does not propose a mix of uses. However,
this is a relatively small property, and it may only be feasible to develop with a
single use. Staff anticipates that the property immediately south of the subject
property will be developed with a church; the Comprehensive Plan designates the
property to the west as Multi-family residential. This would bring a mix of uses to
the general area.
Staff finds the follOWing Goals, Objectives, and Action items contained in the
2002 Comprehensive Plan to be applicable to this application (staff analysis is in
italics below policy):
o "Restrict curb cuts and access points on collectors and arterial streets."
(Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective D, Action item 2)
One curb cut on Ten Mile Road exists and no new curb cutes are planned.
III "Require appropliate landscape and buffers along transportation conidors
(setback, vegetation, low walls, belms, etc.)." (Chapter VII, Goal IV,
Objective D, Action item 4)
The Applicant has not addressed landscaping adjacent to the existing uses
that are to remain on-site. A CHD has stated that its fitture right of way
acquisition width on Ten Mile Road will be 45.Jeet on each side of the
centerline (90 feet total) for building setbacks and to include afi'ontage road.
The general requirements of ACHD would not be in compliance with the
existing use and would require compliance upon approval of a detailed site
plan and/or subdivision and/or conditional use permit issuance.
Staff finds that the existing building setbacks, landscaping, and the potential
for right-oJ.way acquisition create a unique situationfor the site. In order to
mitigate anticipated problems, staff recommends that the City enter into a
development agreement with the Applicant.
G "Permit new . . .commercial development only where urban services can be
reasonably provided at the time of final approval and development is
contiguous to the .City." (Chapter IV, Goal I, Objective A, Action item 6)
The Meridian Fire Department comments are based on the conceptual site
plan indicating a single use of indoor storage facilities. One of the comments
receivedfrom the Fire Department states that the new bridge and potential for
multiple buildings creates several items of concern. The Meridian Fire
Department requires specific turning radiuses between buildings, two points
of access, weight requirements for the bridge, and water flow to be
established prior to issuance of any building permit or certificate of zoning
compliance.
Public Works will submit a separate memo related to this finding di$.cussing
the availability of sanitmy sewer and water systems.
e "Locate new community commercial areas on arterials or collectors near
residential areas in such a way as to complement with adjoining residential
areas." (Chapter VII, Goal I, Objective B, Action item 5)
The subject property has frontage on a designated collector Ten Mile Road.
The existing uses adjacent to this site have not yet developed to the expected
residential densities or Commercial uses anticipated in the Comprehensive
Plan.
The existing area will be complemented by the uses of a Church to the south
of the property and vmying residential densities in the immediate vicinity to
the north and west of the site. The comprehensive plan designation to the
west of the site is high density residential and medium density residential to
the north of the site. The applicant has indicated a working relationship with
the property owner to provide storage for a proposed apartment complex and
to have a secondmy access to the west to provide for thru flow of emergency
vehicular trciffic. The anticipated residential densities for the general vicinity
would be expected to utilize the storage facilities and other mixed commercial
uses within the similar comprehensive plan deSignation.
· "Plan for a variety of commercial and retail oPportunities within the Impact Area." (Chapter
VII, Goal I, Objective B)
The proposed and existing indoor storage facilities are the only storage facilities in the
general vicinity. It is expected that a variety of commercial and reSidential uses would utilize
the site with a mix of injill commercial sites and a vmying of densities in the reSidential
developments.
· "Require all commercial businesses to install and maintain landscaping."
(Chapter V, Goal III, Objective D, Action item 5)
The Applicant has not addressed the requirement to install landscaping
adjacent to the existing indoor storage facilities. Prior to issuance of any
building permit or certificate of zoning compliance the applicant shall provide
a landscape plan and install the required landscaping in conformance with
MCC Title 12 Chapter 13.
· "Multi-use off street pathways are to be located along, natural drains/creeks
and canals... the UPRR railroad corridor." (Chapter VI, Figure VI-3)
Figure VI-3 on page 55 of the Comprehensive Plan designates a multi-use
pathway on Ten Mile Creek which bisects the site. The Applicant has not
addressed the issues of a pathway on the site, however as reSidential
developments to the north of the site will be extending the pathway on the
North side of the UPRR. Right of way the pathway will be required to connect
through the site on the west side of Ten Mile Creek according to the design
standards for pathways as listed in the City of Meridian Comprehensive Parks
and Recreation System Plan.
G "2. Identify feasible interconnected greenbelt areas along waterways. 4.
Develop and maintain greenbelt areas along waterways 11. To improve and
protect creeks (Ten mile) throughout commercial, industrial, and residential
areas." (Chapter V A.1 D)
The participation in the multi use pathway shall satisfy the goals and policies
of the Meridian Comprehensive Plan improving the waterway and providing
the required interconnectivity to the multiuse pathway system.
o "Consider "Accommodating Bicycle and Pedestrian Travel: A Recommended
Approach" fi.-om the National Center for Bicycling and Walking in all land use
decisions." (Chapter VI, Goal II, Objective A, Action item 3)
This publication encourages jurisdictions to establish bikeway and walkway
facilities in new construction and reconstruction projects, in a manner that is
scife, accessible and convenient. The detailed site plan must address these
issues.
B. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be rezoned in the
future;
Staff does not anticipate that the Applicant intends to rezone the subject property
in the future.
C. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be developed in the
fashion that would be allowed under the new zoning _ for example, a
residential area turning into commercial area by means of conditional use
permits;
Inside Storage Facilitates are principally pennitted uses in the C-G zone.
Residential uses are prohibited in the C-G zone. The existing business would be
principally allowed in a C-G zone. The purpose of the C-G District is to provide
for conunercial uses, which are customarily operated entirely or almost entirely
within a building (MCC 11-7-2.K). Staff finds that the proposed uses would
confonn to the proposed zoning.
D. Has there been a change in the area or adjacent areas which may dictate that
the area should be rezoned. For example, have the streets been widened, new
railroad access been developed or planned or adjacent area being developed
in a fashion similar to the proposed rezone area;
Chesterfield Subdivision has recently been annexed and developed with
residential uses immediately north of the site. There are several commercial and
high density residential developments in the area that would complement the site.
The Commission and Council should rely on the preceding facts and any public
testimony to determine whether the changes in the area dictate that this area
should be annexed into the City and zoned C-G at this time.
E. Will the proposed uses be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to
be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing or intended
character of the general vicinity and that such use win not change the
essential character of th.e same area;
Staff finds that the proposed C-G zone with the proposed retail uses if designed,
constructed and operated in accordance with adopted city ordinances, should be
hannonious and appropriate in appearance with the intended character of the
vicinity. The site is intended to be used for cOl1U11ercial uses which, based 011 the
Comprehensive Plan description, will have such uses as retail, wholesale, service
and office uses, multi-family residential, as well as appropriate public uses such
as govenUllent offices. The existing uses do 110t conform to the harmonious and
appropriate appearance of the existing general vicinity and would be required
upon redevelopment to conform to these goals and policies.
F. Will the proposed uses not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future
neighboring uses;
The existing uses on the site are hazardous to neighboring uses. Accessory to the
existing businesses, there are chemicals, gasoline, and assorted automobile wastes
stored on this site. Appropriate buffers should be required on the north and east
boundaries of this development, as the abutting uses are less-intense than the
proposed and existing uses (see MCC 12-13-12-4). The Commission and Council
should rely on public testimony to detennine whether the proposed uses will be
disturbing or hazardous to the neighboring uses.
G. Will the area be served adequately by essential public facilities and services
such as highways, 'streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures,
refuse disposal, water, sewer or that the person responsible for the
establishment of proposed zoning amendment shall be able to provide
adequately any of such services;
Staff finds that the proposed roadway improvements to Ten Mile Road should be
acknowledged with the detailed site plan for the project. In the short term the
existing access and frontage are satisfactory for the site. This site has over 500
feet of frontage on Ten Mile Road. Based on future development applications
staff is conditioning that the Applicant enter into a development agreement with
the City to require improvements (landscaping, sidewalk, multi-use pathway, road
widening, turn-lane, etc.) to Ten Mile Road, subject to ACHD requirements, with
site-specific standards conditions to be met in accordance with approval of the
subject development.
On December 17, 2004, a joint agency/department comments meeting was held
with representatives of key service providers to this property. The Meridian Fire
Department has concerns with serviceability of this site, as it contains several
required turns around buildings to meet standards for service. Because the
applicant has not identified all future buildings within this development, such
buildings will be subject to further review and comments by Meridian Fire
Department.
The Commission and Council should reference any written or verbal testimony
submitted by the Meridian Police DepaIiment, and any other agency not listed
above, regarding their ability to adequately service this project.
Staff finds that the property proposed for aI1l1exation can be served adequately by
all essential public facilities and services as conditioned.
H. Will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public
facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of
the community;
If this annexation/development is approved, the developer will be financing the
extension of sewer, water, local/internal street infrastructure, utilities and
irrigation services to serve the project. The primary public costs to serve the
future site will be fire and police services. Staff finds that this development will
not cause excessive additional requirements at public cost.
I. Will the proposed uses not involve uses, activities, processes, materials,
equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any
persons, property OJ' the general welfare by reason of excessive production of
traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors;
Staff finds that the indoor storage facilities involve activities, processes, materials,
equipment or conditions that could produce excessive traffic, noise, fumes and/or
odors, as well as other negative public impacts. A key auestion that should be
discussed at the public hearin!l is whether the imoacts will be "excessive." MCC
11-12-2 and 11-12-3 are intended to mitigate impacts of special uses such as fire
hazards, bulk storage, noises. Staff does not anticipate the impacts of the site to
exceed the standards as set forth by MCC 11-12-2 and 11-12-3 based on current
operating conditions.
J. Will the area have vehicular approaches to the property which shall be so
designed as not to create an interference with traffic on surrounding public
streets;
Stafffinds that any future uses.!1illY impact the level and flow of traffic on the
surrounding roadways. The site has one access point to Ten Mile Road and future
development should be designed as to provide contiguous traffic flow to adjoining
properties.
K. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic
feature of major importance; and
Staff finds that the Ten Mile Creek is a significant natural feature that should be
protected through standard st0l111water and mn-off management practices. Staff is
not aware of any other natural, scenic or historical feature(s) of major importance
in the area that may be affected by the proposed development. Staff finds the
Commission and Council should rely on any public testimony that may be
presented to detennine whether the proposed use may cause health, safety or
environmental problems of which staff is unaware.
L. Is the proposed zoning amendment in the best interest of the City of
Meridian. (Ord. 592, 11-17-1992)"
Staff finds that the annexation and zoning of this property as mitigated through a
development agreement may be in the best interest of the City for the following
reasons:
I!l municipal sanitary sewer and water systems are readily available to provide
service;
II the proposed use may involve activities, processes, materials, equipment
and/or conditions that will produce additional traffic, noise, fumes and/or
odors, as well as other negative public impacts that can be mitigated through
development of the site;
· the existing uses that are to remain, SigIlage, landscaping, public infYastmcture
(sidewalk, bike lanes), screening, drive-aisles, or parking, are to be brought
into compliance with current City Code upon development of the site;
For the reasons listed in the findings above, City Council finds that the annexing
and zonin 0 this 1'0 er would be in the best interest 0 the Ci .

Required Findings
ANNEXATION & ZONlNGANALYSIS
Accordblg to Ordinance 11-15-11, General Standards Applicable to Zoning Amendments, both
the P&Z Commission and Council are required "to review the particular facts and circumstances
ofeachpraposed zoning amendment in terms althefollowing standards and shalJjind adequate
' evidence answering the following questions about the proposed zoning amendment. "
A. Will the new zoning be harmonious with and in accordance with the
Comprehensive Plan and, if not, has there been an application for a
Comprehensive Plan amendment;
The subject property is designated as "Medium Density Residential" on
the F~ture Land Use Map. City Council finds that the requested zoning
designation, R-4, is harmonious with and in accordance with the adopted
Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map. The proposed use as a
,rruddle school is a permitted use in the R-4 Zone, per the Zoning Schedule
of Use Control in MCC 11-8-].
B. Has there been a change in the area or adjacent areas which 'may
dictate tbat the area should be rezoned. For example, have the streets
been widened, new railroad access been developed or planned or
adjacent area being developed in a fashion similar to the proposed
rezone area;
Surrounding properties include rural residential properties, future
commercial and multi~family developments and recently approved
residential subdivisions. The area around the subject property has changed
dramatically in the last decade with literally thousands of new residential
lots being added. This change in ~se from agricultural land to residential
has created the need for additional schools in the area. City Council finds
that the requested zoning designation of R-4 for a middle school will be
hannonious with the existing and future developments.
C. Will the proposed uses be designed, constructed, operated. and
maintained to be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the
existing or intended character of the general vicinity and that such use
wiD Dot change the essential character of the same area;
City Council finds that the proposed use (middle school) will not change
the existing or intended residential character of the area. See discussion
under liB" above.
D. Will the proposed uses not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or
future neighboring uses;
City Council does not anticipate that the proposed uses will be hazardous
or disturbing to future or existing l1eighbors. See discussion under "B"
above.
E. Will the area be served adequately by essential public facilities and
services such as highways, streets, police and itre protection~ dl'ainage
structures, refuse disposal~ water, sewer or that the person responsible
for the establishment of proposed zoning amendment shall be able to
provide adequately any of such services;
City Council finds that the property to be annexed will be served
adequately by all essential public facilities and services.
F. Will not .create excessive additional requirements at public cost for
public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the
economic welfare of the community; .
City COWlcil finds that there will not be excessive additional requirements
at public cost and that the annexation and zoning wiII not be detrimental to
the community's economic welfare.
G. WiD the proposed uses not involve uses, activities, processes,
materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be
detrimental to any persons, property or the general welfare by reason
of excessive production of traffic~ noise, smoke, fumes~ glare or odors;
City Council realizes that the proposed middle school will create
additional traffic in the general area, but does not anticipate that it will be
excessive. The addition of a school near to the new residential
subdivisions in north Meridi~ may actually positively the affect the
traffic situation by reducing the distance that residents travel in order to
deliver their children to school. The lack of pedestrian and bicycle
facilities related to Sawtooth Middle School, on Linder Road north of
Ustick Road, has been the topic of discussion and criticism among < area
media, community members, and local agencies. As subdivisibn~ in the
area develop, more sidewalks will be constructed along- the. 'arterial
roadways, but at the present time~ there are no improvements on McMillan
Road or Meridian Road within one-mile of the school in any direction.
The recently developed residential subdivisions in the area have created
additional traffic in the area and City Council also finds that the proposed
middle school will not create excessive noise or other nuisances that
would be detrimental to the general welfare of the surrounding area.
H. Will the area have vehicular approaches to the property which shall
be so designed as not to Cl'eate an inteJ.'ference with traffic on
surrounding public streets;
This item was heard at the Aplil13, 2005 ACHD Commission meeting.
Please refer to ACHD report for specific traffic discussion and see
discussion under '~G" above.
I. Will not result in the destruction, Joss or damage of a natural or scenic
feature of major importance; and
City Council finds that no natural or scenic features of major importance
will be lost or damaged by approving the annexation and re-zone, Any
existing trees latger than 4)) caliper that are removed shall be mitigated
for, per the Landscape Ordinance.
J. Is the proposed zoning amendment in the best interest of the City of
Meridian. (Oed. 592,11-17-1992)"
City Council finds that the annexation of this property would be in the best
interest of the City.

Re: City Council Agenda Item: Placement of Western Heritage Historic Byway Sign
As President of the Meridian Chamber of Commerce, I have just been made aware that an item
has been placed on the City Council agenda for July 26, 2005 that may impact or involve the
Chamber. That item is the placement of two large historical marker signs in Storey Park, with a
recommendation that they be placed near the Chamber office.
Because we have just learned of this recommendation from the Parks Commission, and have not
had time to review or study it, I would like to request that the Chamber be given time to do so,
and have the opportunity to respond to the proposal at a City Council meeting in August.
Thank you for considering our request.
Sincerely,
Robert L. Chandler

Honorable Mayor DeWeerd and Members ofthe City Council
C/o City Clerk
33 E. Idaho
Meridian, ID 83642
RE: Proposed Messina Meadows Neighborhood Park - Request for Reconsideration
Dear Mayor De Weerd and Council Members:
This letter is in response to your request for input from the Park and Recreation Commission
regarding the proposed neighborhood park in the recently approved Messina Meadows
Subdivision. This matter was discussed at the July 13, 2005 Parks and Recreation Commission
meeting. I was chosen to write this letter to inform you ofthe Commission's concerns.
The first issue that raised concern for most everyone present was the shape of the parcel. The
thin strip of land in the north east corner of the plot is virtually unusable for most park events,
presents a challenge to the maintenance group, and does not fit in with the goals established in
the city's comprehensive plan for a neighborhood park. It was the opinion of the Commission
that this land should be used in one of the subdivision lots and other land allocated in a more
useable location.
The next area of concern isJhe location ofthe park. Accessibility consists of the southern side of
the proposed lot borders the incoming road for the subdivision. There is also a small residential
road on the southeastern side of the plot. While this provides two forms of access to the land,
there are serious concerns that this configuration will limit the accessibility of the park and drive
undesired traffic through narrow subdivision streets. There was a general conclusion that this
park would better serve the community and the subdivision occupants if the park land was
shifted to the west, allowing two sides of access to the land from larger arterial roads. The
current proposed lots on the west side of the land can be moved to the east side of the property.
There is also concern that this land is of poor quality and grade. There were several
commissioners and a superintendent who believe this land may be very difficult to keep
maintained properly. Current grade has the park land as the lowest point in the subdivision in an
area that seems to flood easily. While this land can be backfilled to prevent the collection of all
the water from surrounding areas, it has happened in the past that this backfill material is of poor
quality (such as the gravel like mix that was used to fill in Bear Creek), making it nearly
impossible to keep the grass properly watered during hot summertime months.
Finally, it came to the attention ofthe Commission that this plat, which includes a neighborhood
park, has received approval without ever being reviewed by the Parks and Recreation
Commission. The Parks and Recreation Commission has great interest in devising a system that
will allow the Commission ample time to review and provide input on park issues in these plats,
as well as doing so in a timely manner so as to not require the applicant to absorb undue costly
delays.
For the reasons set forth in this letter, the Commission made a motion on the record to request
that the City Council reconsider its decision to approve the Messina Meadows preliminary plat.
The Commission would like an opportunity to work with the applicant to address these concerns.
In the event that the City Council does not wish to move to reconsider its approval of this matter,
and if the applicant is not interested in addressing the issues raised in this letter at this time, the
Commission has serious reservations about accepting this parcel as a public neighborhood park
and would recommend that the Council consider this park to remain as private property. .
On behalf of the Parks and Recreation Commission, I would like to thank you for your time and
effort on this particular subject. We sincerely appreciate the opportunity to give input on matters
of this nature and would look forward to future opportunities to do the same. Please know that
we are anxious to work closely with you in resolving these issues and for a smoother future
process.
Respectfully,
James E. De Boer
Meridian Parks and Recreation Commissioner

Annexation and Zoning Comments
ANEXATION & ZONING FACTS AND COMMENTS
1. The subject property is within the Urban Services Planning Area. The legal
description submitted with the application (dated 4/15/05, stamped by Stephen
Lee) shows the property as contiguous to the existing corporate boundary of the
City of Meridian. The Public Works Department has confirmed that the
submitted legal description meets the requirements of the City of Meridian and
the Idaho State Tax Commission.
2. Any future subdivision and/or development of this property shall comply with the
City of Meridian ordinances in effect at the time.
3. Prior to the annexation ordinance approval, a Development Agreement (DA) shall
be entered into between the City of Meridian, property owner (at the time of
annexation ordinance adoption), and the developer. The aoolicant shall contact the
Citv Attornev Bill Narv at 888-4433 to initiate this nrocess. The DA shall
incorporate the following:
· That any new structure(s) shall be generally compatible in appearance and
bulk with the surrounding residential properties, as determined by the detailed
Planned Development approval as approved through a Conditional Use
process.
· That no building or other structure shall be erected, moved, added to or
structurally altered, nor shall any building, structure or land be established or
changed in use without prior approval.
· That all future uses shall not involve uses, activities, processes, materials,
equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons,
property or the general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic,
noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors.
· At this time the applicant proposes the following uses on the subject property:
Private School w/childcare capabilities, Church, and Administrative Offices.
The Planned Development Application as required by this Development
Agreement must include these and any other uses requested by the applicant.
· That the applicant agrees to provide cross-access to the parcels to the west and
north, prior to issuance of a Certificate of Zoning Compliance (CZC) permit
for any future use.
· That vehicular access to this site shall be restricted to those approved by
ACHD and the City.
Cherty Lane Christian Church Exhibit C
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS (ANNEXATION & ZONING)
]. Access: Limiting vehicular access to this property is essential to maintaining
traffic flow on Franklin Road during peak hours. ACHD policy requires right-
in/right-out driveways located on arterial roadways to be constructed a minimum
of 150 feet from a stop controlled intersection; 220 feet is required for a full
access driveway. Although this property has sufficient frontage to meet the
District's policy, there is need and a request by ACHD for a detailed traffic study
prior to development. When the Franklin/Ten mile intersection is signalized, or if
safety of any accesses should become an issue, the ACHD may restrict the access
to right-in/right-out only for all access points. The final locations of points of
access will be detennined at a later date, during detailed approval through the
Planned Development process.
Because only one access to the public roadway system is being proposed for this
property to the west of the site, staff recommends that cross access be provided to
the site to the west. The idea with providing cross access to the multifamily
development is that when the church expands and/or redevelops, cross access will
be reciprocated to the proposed multifamily development. If cross access is
provided then patrons of the church can access Franklin Road at a signalized
intersection without having to cross traffic lanes on Franklin Road to exit the site.
See Annexation & Zoning Facts and Comments #2 below.
Landscaoing: Franklin Road and Ten mile Road are classified arterial roadways.
A 25-foot wide landscape buffer is currently required adjacent to arterial
roadways (MCC 12-13-10-4). Landscape buffers along Meridian Road and Ustick
Road will be required by the City with CZCIPlanned Development approval.
If the subject annexation and zoning application is approved, C-N property will be
adjacent to rural residential properties zoned RUT in Ada County and an outdoor
storage facility. To buffer the existing land uses to the south and west from future
commercial office uses on this site, landscape buffers along the perimeter of the
site should be installed when a CZC/Plat is approved (see MCC 12-13-12).
Parkin!;!: For Churches/Schools/Gymnasium, parking stalls are currently required
at the rate of one space per 4 auditorium seats, one space per each 5 church seats,
one space per 400 s.f. of gross office floor area (administration building), 2
parking spaces per elementary classroom, 10 parking spaces per high school
classroom plus 1 for each 10 seats in and auditorium or gymnasium. (MCC 11-
13-S.B).
3. Sanitary Sewer: Sanitary sewer is currently not available to this site. This site is
master planned for the sewer to drain to the Black Cat lift station via extensions of
mains through Castlebrook Subdivision, Chesterfield Subdivision, and the
proposed Silver Oaks Subdivision to the west. The applicant shall be responsible
to design and install sewer mains to and through this proposed development,
Cherry Lane Christian Church Exhibit C
coordinate main size and routing with the City of Meridian Public Works
Department. Water is readily available in Ten-Mile Road and Franklin Road.
The applicant shall be responsible to design and install water main to and through
this development, coordinate main sizing and routing with City of Meridian
Public Works. The applicant shall execute City of Meridian standard fonns of

Zoning Amendment Findings
ANNEXATION & ZONING ANALYSIS
According to Ordinance 11-15-11, General Standards Applicable to Zoning
Amendments, both the P&Z Commission and Council are required "to review the
particular facts and circumstances of each proposed zoning amendment in terms of the
following standards and shall find adequate evidence answering the following questions
about the proposed zoning amendment."
The following is the list of standards found in 11-15-11 and analysis:
A. Will the new zoning be harmonious with and in accordance with the
Comprehensive Plan and, if not, has there been an application for a
Comprehensive Plan amendment;
Staff finds that the requested Neighborhood Commercial (C-N) zoning
designation is in accord with the Comprehensive Plan's Future Land Use Map.
which delineates the subject property as "Mixed Use-Regional". Meridian City
Code (MCC) 11-7-2.H. states the purpose of the C-N district is "to pennit small
scale convenience business uses which are intended to meet the daily needs of the
residents in the~immediate neighborhood. .. .and shall not constitute all or any
part of a strip development concept." The following Comprehensive Plan policies
also SUODort the annexation and proposed Church! Private School use:
· "Permit new. . .commercial developments only where urban
services can be reasonably provided at the time of final approval
and development is contiguous to the City." (Chapter IV, pg. 26,
Goal I, Obj. A, #6)
Municipal water, solid waste and other services exist to this area
of Meridian.
· "Require all new parking lots to provide landscaping in internal
islands." (Chapter V, pg. 43, Goal III, Obj. D, #3)
The Site Plan submitted with the annexation application for this
property is conceptual in nature; the parking lot will be addressed
through the submittal of the planned development and shall show
internal planters, as required.
· "Locate new community commercial areas on arterials. . .near
residential areas in such a way as to complement with adjoining
residential areas." (Chapter VII, pg. 43, Goal III, Obj. D, #3)
Cherry Lane Christian Church Exhibit 0
The proposed commercial use is located at the intersection of two
minor arterial roadways. A 25-foot wide street btif.fer is shown
along Ten Mile Road and Franklin Road, designed in part to
mitigate potential negative impacts upon the vehicular traffic on
arterial roads. There are several major residential developments
occurring in the area to which the proposal will provide service.
· "Restrict curb cuts and access points on collectors and arterial
streets." (Chapter VII, pg. 107, Goal IV, Obj. D, #2)
A CHD is requiring the applicant to submit a detailed traffic study
for the site. The curb cuts and access points are consistent with
other proposals of this size and nature. However, these will be
approved with the filing of a detailed Planned Development and
full review by ACHD.
Chapter VI C.2 P71 - Multiuse pathways: Pathways that encourage use by
bicyclists and pedestrians can decrease road congestion and add to the
community's quality of life. The proposed off-street and multiuse pathway
systems are depicted in Figures VI-3 and VI-4. New and existing developments
should ensure that the guidelines laid out in this plan are adopted.
With the design of the conceptual plan the applicant has included multiuse
pathways in this development. The Comprehensive Plan indicates in Figures VI _
3 and VI-4 the locations of pathways along the Ridenbaugh Canal, Eight Mile
Creek, and Ten-Mile Creek.
B. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be rezoned in the
future;
Concurrent with the annexation and zoning application, the applicant has
submitted a conceptual site plan. The site plans depicts several buildings on this
property with 1) a main building to seat 4,500 patrons and several classrooms and
2) a school with a gymnasium and an administration building. The site plan also
shows a recreation field and multiuse pathway system along the Ten Mile Creek.
Staff does not anticipate that the applicant plans to rezone the subject property in
the future if the subject annexation/zoning is approved, as the anticipated Church!
Private School uses will be conditionally allowed in the requested C-N zone.
Please see Finding "C".
c. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be developed in the
fashion that would be allowed under the new zoning -for example, a
residential area turning into a commercial area by means of conditional use
permits;
Staff finds that School! Private Schools would be Conditional uses within the
requested C-N zone. As mentioned above, however, there is no detailed
Cheny Lane Christian Church Exhibit 0
development plan proposed at this time, but a Planned Development must be
submitted in compliance with the Mixed-Use Regional Designation.
D. Has there been a change in the area or adjacent areas which may dictate that
the area should be rezoned. For example, have the streets been widened, new
railroad access been developed or planned or adjacent area being developed
in a fashion similar to the proposed rezone area;
Staff finds that the recent annexation and zoning of Stor-It, Castlebrook
Subdivision, and the recent proposal of Silver Oaks Subdivision (multifamily)
directly west of this site, dictates that the subject property be similarly zoned and
developed. The streets adjacent to this site have not been widened recently, and
neither Franklin Road nor Ten Mile Road roadway improvements abutting this
site are in the current ACHD Five-Year Work Program. Franklin Road from Ten-
Mile to Black Cat is in the planned development phase for improvement.
E. Will the proposed uses be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to
be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing or intended
character of the general vicinity and that such use will not change the
essential character of the same area;
The applicant will be required to construct, operate and maintain the future
buildings in accordance with City Code. Although this area was intended for
residential and commercial uses when the 2002 Comprehensive Plan was adopted,
staff finds that the size and number of uses is consistent with the comprehensive
plan at this location. Staff finds that the design of the submitted conceptual
layouts for school/office/church buildings could be harmonious with the adjacent
properties if cross-access is provided to the parcel to the west (multifamily). Staff
further finds that the proposed uses will change the existing character of the area,
but that the proposed zone and future use(s) should be harmonious and
appropriate in appearance with the character of the overall area. Staff finds that
any future uses, if designed, constructed and operated in accordance with adopted
city ordinances, should be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the
intended character of the vicinity.
F. Will the proposed uses not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future
neighboring uses;
Commercial (school/church) vehicular access to this site could cause a potential
disturbancelhazard to existing and/or future uses. The 2002 Comprehensive Plan
Future Land Use Map designates the properties to the west as multifamily, and to
the south and east as Mixed Use Regional. The Commission and Council should
rely on public testimony to determine whether the proposed C-N zoning will be
disturbing or hazardous to the neighboring uses.
Cheny Lane Christian Church Exhibit D
Staff finds that the use of this site for Church/School type uses should not be
hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighboring uses if the applicant
enters into a development agreement with the City and all development and
landscaping ordinances are exercised. In addition to staffs analysis, the
Commission and Council should rely on public testimony to determine whether or
not the potential disturbance of allowing a conunercial access int%ut of this site
will substantially affect the existing or future neighboring uses.
G. Will the area be served adequately by essential public facilities and services
such as highways, streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures,
refuse disposal, water, sewer or that the person responsible for the
establishment of proposed zoning amendment shall be able to provide
adequately any of such services;
Sanitary sewer is currently not available to this site. This site is master planned
for the sewer to drain to the Black Cat lift station via extensions of mains through
Castlebrook, Chesterfield and the proposed Silver Oaks to the west. Water mains
are readily available in Ten-Mile Road, and Franklin Road.
The applicant and/or future property owners will be required to pay any
applicable park and highway impact fees as well as construct on-site storm water
drainage facilities.
On May 27, 20Q5, ajoint agency/department comments meeting was held with
representatives of key service providers to this property. Based on the joint
agency/department meeting and other comments received from
agencies/departments, staff finds that the public services listed above can be made
available to accommodate the proposed development. However, the joint agency
review was based on the conceptual plan, the Planned Development shall require
detailed review. The Commission and Council should reference any written
and/or verbal testimony submitted by any public service provider, regarding their
ability to adequately service this project.
H. Will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public
facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of
the community;
If approved, the developer will be financing the extension of sewer, water, local
street (driveway) infrastructure, utilities and irrigation services to serve the
project. Other required site improvements will be funded and constructed by the
developer through the CZC/Planned Development approval process. The primary
public costs to serve the future uses will be fire and police facilities and services.
Staff finds there will not be excessive additional requirements at public cost and
that the proposed zoning and subsequent development will not be detrimental to
the community's economic welfare.
Cherry Lane Christian Church Exhibit D
I. Will the proposed uses not involve uses, activities, processes, materials,
equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any
persons, property or the general welfare by reason of excessive production of
traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors;
Staff finds that any future uses on this site will generate additional traffic on
adjacent roadways above and beyond the existing residences. The level of impact
will depend upon the type of future use(s) and the square footage of the buildings.
Staff recognizes that traffic and noise will increase with the approval of this
development; however, do to the large size of the site and number of proposed
accesses, staff does not believe that the amount generated will be detrimental to
the general welfare of the public. Traffic will further be reviewed and
accommodated by ACHD review of the detailed traffic study.
The purpose of the C-N zone is to "to permit small scale convenience business
uses which are intended to meet the daily needs of the residents in the immediate
neighborhood. .. .and shal1 not constitute al1 or any part of a strip development
concept." (MCCll-7-2.H) As such, staff does not anticipate future uses will
create smoke, fumes, glare, or odors that will be detrimental to the general welfare
of persons or property in the area. Staff does not anticipate the proposed
annexation and subsequent use(s) will create excessive noise, smoke, fumes, glare,
or odors. Staff finds that the proposed Church/ Private School uses should not be
detrimental to people, property or the general welfare of the area.
MCC 11-16-4 provides the P&Z Commission and City Council the authority to
require a property owner to enter into a Development Agreement with the City of
Meridian that may require some written commitment for all future uses to more
fully comply with this finding. Due to the close proximity of existing and future
residential uses, the scale of the project; and relation to neighboring uses; staff
believes that a Development Agreement is necessary to ensure that the purpose of
the C-N zone is maintained. Please see Annexation & Zoning Facts and
Comments below.
J. Will the area have vehicular approaches to the property which shall be so
designed as not to create an interference with traffic on surrounding public
streets;
This parcel has a large amount of frontage on both Franklin Road and limited
frontage on Ten-Mile Road. The applicant is conceptually proposing four
driveway approaches to Franklin Road: a shared access at the mid section (for
possible future signalization), two right in and right out accesses, and a full access
at approximately the;;'; section line. ACHD considers access points in their
analysis of development applications and has requested a detailed traffic study.
Staff believes that these locations will provide adequate access, but it may be
restricted based upon the detailed traffic study. To help future traffic flows in this
Cherry Lane Christian Church Exhibit D
area, staff believes that cross access between the subject property and the property
to the west and north should be provided. If cross access is provided from the
west and north, patrons ofthe church/school, storage facility, and multifamily
development can access Franklin Road at the Ih section line, also to be cost shared
with the property to the west. Staff believes that the proposed uses (and access)
should not be hazardous to neighboring uses or traffic flows, but development
should be restricted until ACHD has had adequate time to review a traffic study.
The COlmnission and Council should rely on public testimony, ACHD staff, and
City staffs analysis when detennining whether or not a vehicular approach to
Franklin Road will interfere with traffic on surrounding public streets. See Special
Consideration #1 below for more analysis.
K. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic
feature of major importance; and
Staff is unaware of any natural of scenic features of major importance on this site
and finds that no natural or scenic features of major importance will be lost or
damaged by approving the annexation and zoning application. Any existing trees
larger than 4" caliper that are removed shall be mitigated for, per the Landscape
Ordinance.
L. Is the proposed zoning amendment in the best interest of the City of
Meridian. (Ord. 592, 11-17-1992)"
The legal description submitted with the application, prepared by Stephen Lee
PLS of Pinnacle Engineers, Inc., shows that the property is contiguous to the
existing corporate boundary of the City of Meridian. The land directly north, and
northeast ofthe subject property have previously been annexed into the City and
this is a logical expansion of the City boundary. The applicant is proposing to
develop the land in substantial compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan.
In accordance with the findings listed above, staff finds that the
annexation/zoning of this oroDertv would be in the best interest of the Citv.
NOTE: Staff has included Development Agreement stipulations for annexation
and zoning of this property below.

PRELIMINARY PLAT FINDINGS AND REQUIREMENTS
Sections 12-3-3 J.2 and 12-3-5 D read as follows: "In determining the acceptance of a
proposed subdivision, the Commission/Council shall consider the objectives of this title
and at least the following:
a. The conformance of the subdivision with the Comprehensive Development
Plan;
Staff finds that the requested zoning designation is in general compliance with the
effective Comprehensive Plan ('02) and the Future Land Use Map, which designates
the land to be "Commercial" and "Industrial".
Generally, the Commercial designation will provide for a full range of commercial
and retail uses to serve area residents and visitors.
Sample uses are listed as retail, wholesale, service and office uses. The uses of a
restaurant/Bistro are similar to the sample uses listed on Page 99 Chapter VII of the
Meridian City Comprehensive Plan.
The proposed office/retail uses within the subdivision are permissible under the
excepted land use provisions of the MCC (12-6-3.) Therefore, Staff finds that the
proposed subdivision is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan
b. The availability of public services to accommodate the proposed
development;
Staff finds that this development will not cause excessive additional requirements at
public cost. The property has existing sewer and water stubs served adequately by all
essential public facilities and services through Krispe Kreme Subdivision. Applicant
shall be required to extend water and sanitary sewer mains to and through the
proposed development, thereby making them available to the adjacent properties.
c. The continuity of the proposed development with the capital improvement
program;
Staff finds that the subdivision will not conflict with the capital improvement plan.
Because the developer is installing sewer, water, utilities and irrigation, the
subdivision will not require the expenditure of capital improvement funds.
Marce Subdivision Exhibit C
d. The public financial capability of supporting services for the proposed
development;
Staff finds that the development will not require major expenditures for providing
supporting services. See item b.
e. The other health, safety or environmental problems that may be brought to
the Commission's attention.
Staff finds that there should not be any other health, safety or environmental problems
associated with this subdivision that should be brought to the Councilor
Commission's attention. ACHD considers road safety issues in their analysis. No
hazardous natural features have been identified on the site.

Required Findings
PRELIMINARY PLAT FINDINGS
Meridian City Code (MCC) 12-3-3 J.2 and 12-3-5 D read as follows: "In determining the
acceptance of a proposed subdivision, the Commission/Council shall consider the
objectives of this title and at least the following:
A. The conformance of the subdivision with the Comprehensive Plan;
City Council finds the 2002 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map
designates all of the subject property as "lndustria1." The purpose of the Industrial
designation is "... to allow a range of industrial uses to support industrial and
commercial activities and to develop with sufficient urban services. In light
industrial areas, uses may include warehouses, storage units, light manufacturing,
and incidental retail and offices uses. Heavy industrial areas may include
processing, manufacturing, warehouses, storage units, and industrial support
activities. In all cases, standards for screening, landscaping, and adequate access
would be developed and implemented." (See Chapter VII, pg. 99.)
City Council finds that the proposed subdivision is in compliance with the
Comprehensive Plan.
B. The availability of public services to accommodate the proposed
development;
N. Linder Road, is currently included in ACHD's Five-Year Work Program
(2009) and is anticipated to be 5 lanes from Franklin Road to Ustick Road with
curb, gutter, sidewalk and bike lanes within 96-feet of right of way.
The subject site can be serviced by the City of Meridian's sanitary sewer and
water systems. Sanitary sewer and water mains would have to be extended into
the site by the developer from N. Linder Road.
On May 27, 2005, a joint agency/department comments meeting was held with
representatives of key service providers to this property. All of the detailed
conditions from the Meridian Police Department, Meridian Fire Department, and
other agencies/departments are at the end of this report.
City Council finds that the property proposed for development can be serviced by
essential public facilities and services.
C. The continuity of the proposed development with the capital improvement
program;
City Council finds that the subdivision will not conflict with the capital
improvement program because the developer is required to install sewer, water,
utilities and irrigation, for the development at their cost.
D. The public financial capability of supporting services for the proposed
development;
The developer will be financing the extension of sewer, water, utilities and
irrigation services to serve the project. The primary public costs to serve the
future site will be fire and police services. City Council finds that this
development will not cause excessive additional requirements at public cost, ifthe
applicant complies with the conditions of approval for the preliminary/final plat
application.
E. The other health, safety or environmental problems that may be brought to
the Commission's attention.
ACHD considers road safety issues in their analysis; please refer to ACHD staff
report for a detailed analysis. There are no health, safety, or environmental
problems to bring to the Commission's attention.

Required Findings
PRELIMINARY PLA T ANALYSIS
Sections 12-3-3.J.2 and 12-3-5.D of Meridian City Code read as follows: In detennining
the acceptance of a proposed subdivision, the Commission/Council shall consider the
objectives of this title and at least the following:
A. The conformance of the subdivision with the Comprehensive Development
Plan;
This site is currently designated as "Commercial" on the Comprehensive Plan
Future Land Use Map and is zoned L-O (Limited Office). In Chapter VII of the
Comprehensive Plan, "Commercial" areas are anticipated to provide a full range
of commercial and retail to serve area residents and visitors. Uses may include
retail, wholesale, service and office uses, multi-family residential, as well as
appropriate public uses such as government offices.
City Council finds the following Goals, Objectives, and Action items contained in
the 2002 Comprehensive Plan to be applicable to this application (staff analysis is
in italics below policy):
· "Require all commercial businesses to install and maintain landscaping."
(Chapter V, Goal III, Objective D, Action item 5)
The applicant has proposed extensive landscaping for the site, including a larger
than required land use buffer separating this development from the adjoining
residential neighborhood to the west.
· "Permit new. . .commercial development only where urban services can be
reasonably provided at the time of final approval and development is
contiguous to the City." (Chapter IV, Goal I, Objective A, Action item 6)
This is an infill development site and is readily serviceable by City of Meridian's
sanitary sewer and water systems. Meridian Fire and Police have commented that
they can serve the property.
· "Identify transitional zones to buffer commercial and residential uses, to allow
uses such as offices and other low intensity uses. (Chapter VII, Goal I,
Objective B, Action item 5)
The subject property is zoned L-O (Limited Office) and provides a low impact
transition from the C-G zoned properties to the east to the residential properties
to the west.
City Council finds that if the Commission and Council grant the Applicant the
requested modifications with the CUP/PD, and the Applicant complies with the
conditions included in this report, the lot configuration and overaU design of the
subdivision would be in general conformance with the City of Meridian
Comprehensive Plan.
B. The availability of public services to accommodate the proposed
development;
The subject site has adequate access to SW 5th Avenue via the one proposed
access point. The City of Meridian Fire and Police Departments currently
monitor, service, and protect the subject neighborhood. Sanitary Services
Company currently provides refuse service to surrounding properties. City sewer
and water services are currently available to this site via existing mains in SW 5th
Avenue and the common lot abutting the south property line. The applicant will
be responsible to construct sewer mains to and through this proposed
development. The applicant shall coordinate main sizing and routing, for any
mains required to provide service, with the Public Works Department. Applicant
shall execute City of Meridian standard forms of easements, for any mains that
are required to provide service.
On May 27, 2005, a joint agency/department comments meeting was held with
representatives of key service providers to this property. All of the detailed
conditions from the Meridian Police Department, Meridian Fire Department, and
other agencies/departments are at the end ofthis report.
City Council finds that the subject property can be served adequately by all
essential public facilities and City services.
C. The continuity of the proposed development with the capital improvement
program;
Because the developer is installing sewer, water, utilities and irrigation, for the
development at their cost, City Council finds that the subdivision will not conflict
with the capital improvement program.
D. The public financial capability of supporting services for the proposed
development;
City Council finds that the City and its related services are capable of servicing
the proposed development. The development will not require major expenditures
for providing supporting services.
E. The other health, safety or environmental problems that may be brought to
the Commission's attention.
City Council is not aware of any natural, scenic or historic features in the general
vicinity of this project. City Council finds that no site improvements associated
with the application should damage natural, scenic or historic features in the area.
STANDARDS FOR CONDITIONAL USES
The Commission and Council shall review the particular facts and circumstances of
each proposed conditional use in terms of the following and may approve a
conditional use permit if they find evidence presented at the hearing(s) is adequate
to establish (11-17-3):
A. That the site is large enough to accommodate the proposed use and all yards,
open spaces, parking, landscaping and other features as may be required by
this ordinance;
The submitted site plan depicts 86 on-site parking stalls. MCC 11-13-5.B.2
requires office uses to provide one on-site parking space for every 400 square-feet
of building (gross). Per this requirement, the applicant would be required to
provide 53 parking stalls (21,000s.f building/400 = 53 stalls) on the property.
M CC 11-13 - 3.A requires off-street parking facili ti es to be designed wi th
appropriate means of vehicular access to a street or alley, in a manner which will
least interfere with traffic movement. MCC 11-13-4.D requires all off-street
parking areas to be paved. MCC 11-13-3 requires parking spaces to be within
300-feet ofthe use served. MCC 11-13-4.F requires 90-degree parking stalls to be
9-feet wide and 19-feet long with a 2S-foot wide drive aisle. The applicant has
depicted 20-foot long parking stalls with 6-foot sidewalks. The applicant should
be required to install wheel blocks to prevent vehicles from overhanging the
sidewalk more than one foot, or increase the sidewalk width to seven feet (7') and
reduce the parking space length to nineteen feet (19'). Staff finds that the
applicant has shown enough parking to accommodate the proposed office uses
and that the parking as shown on the site plan complies with MCC.
The developer of Troutner Business Park Subdivision installed the required
sidewalk adjacent to SW Sth Avenue and the landscaping currently existing along
the western boundary of this site. The applicant is required to provide additional
landscaping within the parking areas and a 10-foot landscaped street buffer along
SW Sth Avenue. The applicant should be required to place the proposed street
buffer within an easement in favor of the Business Owner's Association. (See
Preliminary Plat Site Specific Condition #1). Meridian City Code requires a 20
foot (20') land use buffer between the proposed office uses and the existing
residential uses to the west. The applicant has shown on the plans a land use
buffer that is approximately 40 feet wide, which far exceeds the requirements of
the ordinance.
City Council finds that the site is large enough to accommodate the proposed uses
and all yards (setbacks), open spaces, parking, landscaping and other features
required by ordinance.
B. That the proposed use and development plan will be harmonious with the
Meridian Comprehensive Plan and in accordance with the requirements of
this Ordinance;
This site is designated as "Commercial" on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land
Use Map and zoned L-O. City Council finds that if the applicant complies with
the conditions included in this report, the building configurations and overall
design of the development would be in general conformance with the City of
Meridian Comprehensive Plan and will be in general conformance with the
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. Further, City Council finds that the
development plan is consistent with the recorded zoning resolution, development
agreement, and previous development approvals granted by the City for this site.
See further discussion under Preliminary Plat Analysis Item "A" above.
C. That the design, construction, operation, and maintenance will be compatible
with other uses in the general neighborhood and with the existing or
intended character of the general vicinity and that such use will not adversely
change the essential character of the same area;
City Council finds that the proposed office buildings should be compatible with
other uses in the neighborhood and with the intended character of the general
vicinity, which includes a mix of residential, commercial, and office uses.
Meridian City Code requires a 20 foot (20') land use buffer between the proposed
office uses and the existing residential uses to the west. The applicant has shown
on the plans a land use buffer that is approximately 40 feet wide, which far
exceeds the requirements of the ordinance.
D. That the proposed use, if it complies with all conditions of the approval
imposed, will not adversely affect other property in the vicinity;
City Council does not anticipate that the proposed use will have an adverse affect
on other property in the vicinity if designed, constructed, operated and maintained
in accordance with the Site Specific and General Conditions of approval.
E. That the proposed use will be served adequately by essential public facilities
and services such as highways, street, police, and fire protection, drainage
structures, refuse disposal, water, sewer or that the person responsible for
the establishment of proposed conditional use shall be able to provide
adequately any such services;
City Council finds that the subject property can be served adequately by all
essential public facilities and City services. See further discussion under
Preliminary Plat Analysis Item "B" above.
F. That the proposed use will not create excessive additional requirements at
public cost for public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the
economic welfare of the community;
If approved, the developer will be required to finance the extension of sewer,
water, utilities and pressurized irrigation to serve the project. The primary public
costs to serve the site will be fire and police services. City Council finds there will
not be excessive additional requirements at public cost and that the proposed use
will not be detrimental to the community's economic welfare.
G. That the proposed use will not involve activities or processes, materials,
equipment, and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any
persons, property, or general welfare by reason of excessive production of
traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors;
City Council does not anticipate that the proposed uses, will be detrimental to the
general welfare of the community by means of producing excessive traffic, noise,
smoke, fumes, glare or odors generated by the proposed uses.
H. That the proposed use will have vehicular approaches to the property which
shall be so designed as not to create an interference with traffic on
surrounding piIblic streets;
The applicant is not proposing to construct any new vehicular approaches int%ut
of the property. ACHD considers vehicular approaches in their analysis of
projects and has previously approved the access points for this parcel. City
Council finds that the proposed use and associated approaches will not create
interference with any traffic on the surrounding public streets. Please refer to the
ACHD report for further detail on traffic issues.
I. That the proposed use will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a
natural, scenic or historic feature considered to be of major importance.
City Council is not aware of any natural, scenic or historic features in the general
vicinity of this project. Staff finds that no site improvements associated with the
application should damage natural, scenic or historic features in the area.

Required Findings
PRELIMINARY PLAT ANALYSIS
Sections 12-3-3.1.2 and 12-3-5.D of Meridian City Code read as follows: In determining
the acceptance of a proposed subdivision, the Commission/Council shall consider the
objectives of this title and at least the following:
A. The conformance of the subdivision with the Comprehensive Development
Plan;
This site is currently designated as "Commercial" on the Comprehensive Plan
Future Land Use Map and is zoned L-O (Limited Office). In Chapter VII of the
Comprehensive Plan, "Commercial" areas are anticipated to provide a full range
of commercial and retail to serve area residents and visitors. Uses may include
retail, wholesale, service and office uses, multi-family residential, as well as
appropriate public uses such as government offices.
City Council finds the following Goals, Objectives, and Action items contained in
the 2002 Comprehensive Plan to be applicable to this application (staff analysis is
in italics below policy):
· "Require all commercial businesses to install and maintain landscaping."
(Chapter V, Goal III, Objective D, Action item 5)
The applicant has proposed extensive landscaping for the site, including a larger
than required land use buffer separating this development from the adjoining
residential neighborhood to the west.
· "Permit new. . .commercial development only where urban services can be
reasonably provided at the time of final approval and development is
contiguous to the City." (Chapter IV, Goal I, Objective A, Action item 6)
This is an infill development site and is readily serviceable by City of Meridian's
sanitary sewer and water systems. Meridian Fire and Police have commented that
they can serve the property.
· "Identify transitional zones to buffer commercial and residential uses, to allow
uses such as offices and other low intensity uses. (Chapter VII, Goal I,
Objective B, Action item 5)
The subject property is zoned L-O (Limited Office) and provides a low impact
transition from the C-G zoned properties to the east to the residential properties
to the west.
City Council finds that if the Commission and Council grant the Applicant the
requested modifications with the CUP/PD, and the Applicant complies with the
conditions included in this report, the lot configuration and overall design of the
subdivision would be in general conformance with the City of Meridian
Comprehensive Plan.
B. The availability of public services to accommodate the proposed
development;
The subject site has adequate access to SW 5th Avenue via the one proposed
access point. The City of Meridian Fire and Police Departments currently
monitor, service, and protect the subject neighborhood. Sanitary Services
Company currently provides refuse service to surrounding properties. City sewer
and water services are currently available to this site via existing mains in SW 5th
Avenue and the common lot abutting the south property line. The applicant will
be responsible to construct sewer mains to and through this proposed
development. The applicant shall coordinate main sizing and routing, for any
mains required to provide service, with the Public Works Department. Applicant
shall execute City of Meridian standard forms of easements, for any mains that
are required to provide service.
On May 27, 2005, a joint agency/department comments meeting was held with
representatives of key service providers to this property. All of the detailed
conditions from the Meridian Police Department, Meridian Fire Department, and
other agencies/departments are at the end of this report.
City Council finds that the subject property can be served adequately by all
essential public facilities and City services.
c. The contin'uity of the proposed development with the capital improvement
program;
Because the developer is installing sewer, water, utilities and irrigation, for the
development at their cost, City Council finds that the subdivision will not conflict
with the capital improvement program.
D. The public financial capability of supporting services for the proposed
development;
City Council finds that the City and its related services are capable of servicing
the proposed development. The development will not require major expenditures
for providing supporting services.
E. The other health, safety or environmental problems that may be brought to
the Commission's attention.
City Council is not aware of any natural, scenic or historic features in the general
vicinity of this project. City Council finds that no site improvements associated
with the application should damage natural, scenic or historic features in the area.
STANDARDS FOR CONDITIONAL USES
The Commission and Council shall review the particular facts and circumstances of
each proposed conditional use in terms of the following and may approve a
conditional use permit if they find evidence presented at the hearing(s) is adequate
to establish (11-17-3):
A. That the site is large enough to accommodate the proposed use and all yards,
open spaces, parking, landscaping and other features as may be required by
this ordinance;
The submitted site plan depicts 86 on-site parking stalls. MCC 11-13-5.B.2
requires office uses to provide one on-site parking space for every 400 square-feet
of building (gross). Per this requirement, the applicant would be required to
provide 53 parking stalls (21,000s.f building/400 = 53 stalls) on the property.
MCC 11-13-3.A requires off-street parking facilities to be designed with
appropriate means of vehicular access to a street or alley, in a manner which will
least interfere with traffic movement. MCC 11-13-4.D requires all off-street
parking areas to be paved. MCC 11-13-3 requires parking spaces to be within
300-feet ofthe use served. MCC 11-13-4.F requires 90-degree parking stalls to be
9-feet wide and 19-feet long with a 2S-foot wide drive aisle. The applicant has
depicted 20-foot long parking stalls with 6-foot sidewalks. The applicant should
be required to install wheel blocks to prevent vehicles from overhanging the
sidewalk more than one foot, or increase the sidewalk width to seven feet (7') and
reduce the parking space length to nineteen feet (19'). Staff finds that the
applicant has shown enough parking to accommodate the proposed office uses
and that the parking as shown on the site plan complies with MCC.
The developer of Troutner Business Park Subdivision installed the required
sidewalk adjacent to SW 5th Avenue and the landscaping currently existing along
the western boundary of this site. The applicant is required to provide additional
landscaping within the parking areas and a 10-foot landscaped street buffer along
SW 5th Avenue. The applicant should be required to place the proposed street
buffer within an easement in favor of the Business Owner's Association. (See
Preliminary Plat Site Specific Condition #1). Meridian City Code requires a 20
foot (20') land use buffer between the proposed office uses and the existing
residential uses to the west. The applicant has shown on the plans a land use
buffer that is approximately 40 feet wide, which far exceeds the requirements of
the ordinance.
City Council finds that the site is large enough to accommodate the proposed uses
and all yards (setbacks), open spaces, parking, landscaping and other features
required by ordinance.
B. That the proposed use and development plan will be harmonious with the
Meridian Comprehensive Plan and in accordance with the requirements of
this Ordinance;
This site is designated as "Commercial" on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land
Use Map and zoned L-O. City Council finds that if the applicant complies with
the conditions included in this report, the building configurations and overall
design of the development would be in general conformance with the City of
Meridian Comprehensive Plan and will be in general conformance with the
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. Further, City Council finds that the
development plan is consistent with the recorded zoning resolution, development
agreement, and previous development approvals granted by the City for this site.
See further discussion under Preliminary Plat Analysis Item "A" above.
C. That the design, construction, operation, and maintenance will be compatible
with other uses in the general neighborhood and with the existing or
intended character of the general vicinity and that such use will not adversely
change the essential character of the same area;
City Council finds that the proposed office buildings should be compatible with
other uses in the neighborhood and with the intended character of the general
vicinity, which includes a mix of residential, commercial, and office uses.
Meridian City Code requires a 20 foot (20') land use buffer between the proposed
office uses and the existing residential uses to the west. The applicant has shown
on the plans a land use buffer that is approximately 40 feet wide, which far
exceeds the requirements of the ordinance.
D. That the proposed use, if it complies with aU conditions of the approval
imposed, will not adversely affect other property in the vicinity;
City Council does not anticipate that the proposed use will have an adverse affect
on other property in the vicinity if designed, constructed, operated and maintained
in accordance with the Site Specific and General Conditions of approval.
E. That the proposed use will be served adequately by essential public facilities
and services such as highways, street, police, and fire protection, drainage
structures, refuse disposal, water, sewer or that the person responsible for
the establishment of proposed conditional use shall be able to provide
adequately any such services;
City Council finds that the subject property can be served adequately by all
essential public facilities and City services. See further discussion under
Preliminary Plat Analysis Item "B" above.
F. That the proposed use will not create excessive additional requirements at
public cost for public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the
economic welfare of the community;
If approved, the developer will be required to finance the extension of sewer,
water, utilities and pressurized irrigation to serve the project. The primary public
costs to serve the site will be fire and police services. City Council finds there will
not be excessive additional requirements at public cost and that the proposed use
will not be detrimental to the community's economic welfare.
G. That the proposed use will not involve activities or processes, materials,
equipment, and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any
persons, property, or general welfare by reason of excessive production of
traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors;
City Council does not anticipate that the proposed uses, will be detrimental to the
general welfare of the community by means of producing excessive traffic, noise,
smoke, fumes, glare or odors generated by the proposed uses.
H. That the proposed use will have vehicular approaches to the property which
shall be so designed as not to create an interference with traffic on
surrounding public streets;
The applicant is not proposing to construct any new vehicular approaches int%ut
ofthe property. ACHD considers vehicular approaches in their analysis of
projects and has previously approved the access points for this parcel. City
Council finds that the proposed use and associated approaches will not create
interference with any traffic on the surrounding public streets. Please refer to the
ACHD report for further detail on traffic issues.
I. That the proposed use will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a
natural, scenic or historic feature considered to be of major importance.
City Council is not aware of any natural, scenic or historic features in the general
vicinity of this project. Staff finds that no site improvements associated with the
application should damage natural, scenic or historic features in the area.

Please keep the existing Meridian Road and Main Street traffic configuration in place
Public Hearing on the Downtown Meridian Transpoliation Management Plan, July 26, 2005
Written testimony of: Christopher Broer, 387 West Woodbury Drive, Meridian
I don't support spending millions of tax dollars to widen Meridian Road, because of the many
negative effects such widening would have on our existing neighborhoods. Putting a road that
has as many lanes as Eagle Road through an originally residential neighborhood wouldn't affect
just the homeowners directly on Meridian Road. Everyone who's between the interstate and the
far-flung areas these proposals would encourage development in, would eventually have more
traffic coming through their neighborhoods as a result.
Those of us near Meridian Road would not only have a diminished quality oflife from the
additional traffic, but our families' biggest assets, our existing homes, will lose value for two
reasons: First, there will be less demand for our existing homes because people won't want to
live next to the new heavier traffic corridor. As the January 19,2005 Idaho Statesman repolied,
the traffic streets bear influences the desirability of a neighborhood. Second, there would be an
additional supply of new homes in far-flung areas of Meridian from people who view the current
commute time to there as too long, but who would build out there ifthose of us "down stream"
were paved over. We're already more densely populated than either Boise or Garden City, and
three times more densely populated than Eagle, per the U.s. Census Bureau.
These proposals might be wolih consideting if the only winners were the current commuters in
Meridian. If these proposals were coupled with a building moratorium, it could then be said the
benefits of increased capacity would fully accrue to existing taxpayers. But we all know that as
soon as capacity is added, it will only encourage more development such that the new, wider
road is right back up to the same COlmnute time within a couple of years. I support the free
market. If developers want to build large subdivisions in the far-flung parts of Meridian, they
shouldn't be subsidized by taxpayer dollars for these proposals.
Existing residents are told to "compromise" to allow such an increase in all these lanes. I would
respectfully state that the best way to maintain quality of life for existing residents is to maintain
the current system, save our tax dollars, and allow traffic to act as a natural brake on excess
growth. Pedestrians who now walk across two lanes of Meridian Road to get to downtown will
have to walk across up to five lanes according to these proposals, ironically making it less
desirable for them to walk.
Finally, since the roads need to be widened primarily because of new subdivisions being
approved far from downtown, impact fees from those developers should pay for these projects,
not tax dollars. If our impact fees aren't high enough, they can be raised. Please let our existing
traffic layout remain in place.
Thank you for your consideration.
