Kingsford: The first item on the agenda as with the second item on the agenda and I
recognize some folks from the audience that were concerned about that issue the Bews
issue. We have received a request from the Sews' to table this to the second meeting in
July, the July 18th meeting. I had hoped that they had contacted you, I asked them to
when they asked us to continue that. So has that been sent along? Okay, they did
receive a study or about to have from the Highway District and they are going to be
reviewing that and suppose to be getting with you. Unless you have some comments I
would ask the table to go ahead, the Council to go ahead and table that to that meeting.
I would entertain a motion then for the Council to table then items 1 and 2 with regard to
the EL. Bews issue.
Crookston: Table to when?

conclusions of law for Wild Shamrock Partnership, comment Mr. Morrow?
Morrow: I have a question on item 13 on page 6 and maybe just need to refresh my
memory here but was in the proposal of the request for this variance was fencing
Meridian City Council
June 20, 1995
Page 5
discussed and access to the lateral and was possible landscaping within the Eight Mile
Lateral easement for aesthetic purposes, were those 2 issues discussed in their
application?
Kingsford: Those issues as well as my recollection, the portion on the North and east,
north mainly would run in part adjacent to future golf course area. Is that not right?
Crookston: This is the land that is north, south of the bowling alley.
Kingsford: Excuse me, I am lost.
Tolsma: I think what happened was the bowling alley wanted, didn't want a bridge put
across that because their parking was created by ACHD over there, they had (inaudible)
so the bowling alley doesn't want a bridge across there, a vehicle bridge.
Morrow: In the original hearing before us there was on the part of the applicant there was
some, a presentation that they wanted to use that as a future access point and we
deferred from that. In terms of the variance request that was asked for at our last meeting
I don't recall these 2 things being part of the variance request. I thought that the variance
was simply not to tile the ditch, we had some discussions initiated by me with respect to
size of ditch and the amount of water and Mr. Caven who testified indicated that between
their engineer and Nampa Meridian's that the flow was well in excess of the 48 inches in
diameter. I did not remember any of these things as being discussed.
Kingsford: I think that is probably right Mr. Morrow. And of course the applicant is only the
owner of the land on the south side. Mr. Caven is here and may address that question if
you would like?
Morrow: I think I would like an answer to it because I guess my reluctance here is to adopt
findings of fact and conclusions with what amount to surprises to the applicant perhaps.
Kingsford: Mr. Caven?
Caven: First of all regarding the fence, the comments from staff and from the Nampa
Meridian Irrigation District was that they did not require tiling or fencing of that lateral. In
regards to the landscaping that was addressed on our site plan when we came forward
with our application for the conditional use permits it had the landscape shown on the site
plan. Off the top of my head I can't remember, Shari do you remember if there was
landscaping on the north boundary? The plat here shows that there is landscaping on the
north boundary that (inaudible). It looks to be about a 20 foot landscaping area.
Meridian City Council
June 20, 1995
Page 6
Kingsford: Other questions Mr. Morrow?
Morrow: I guess my question would be is that was part of the presentation for the
conditional use, why is it part of the findings of fact with relation to the variance was for the
tiling of the ditch only. Why is it part of the conclusions?
Kingsford: That was drawn I think in sum from that testimony, counselor?
Crookston: Yes, we have in previous applications for a variance from the tiling
requirement required fencing, specifically I recall the variance for Parkside Creek on the
Eight Mile Lateral. The landscaping came from the conditional use idea, the fencing I put
in there as a condition of granting the variance because I think that we do need something
to prevent access to the Eight Mile Lateral because the reason that the Council passed the
tiling requirement was a safety factor. If you don't require the tiling I think that you do need
to place some kind of safety means around or on the area so that access is limited as best
you can.
Tolsma: We have done that all on previous residential properties (inaudible).
Kingsford: You have required tiling in an industrial park most recently I believe Meridian
Industrial park.
Morrow: I think the issue there was it was less than 48 inches and if fell well within the
issue. I think if I am understanding this property right the request for the variance was a
variance from the tiling according to Mr. Caven the Nampa Meridian had recommended
neither tHing nor fencing. I guess the question is in this particular ditch is that you have
total access to the ditch on the north side of it by virtue of the fact that is it not Gem Street
that runs immediately next to. If you are going to requiring fencing how does that impact
their property in terms of, where does the fence sit? Does it sit out into the property and
thereby cut off access to landscaping. Does Nampa Meridian have a setback requirement
for purposes of maintenance or is Nampa Meridian agreeable to maintaining from the north
side only. I think those are questions that I would like to hear the answer for.
Caven: What Nampa Meridian would require, they have a 30 foot easement there so my
fence would be 30 feet from the edge of the lateral where I have proposed landscaping at
this point. They would not want the fence in their easement because they couldn't move
their trucks. If I put in grass and so forth that is fine in their easement and that is what the
landscaping is proposed is in the 30 foot irrigation easement. If I put a fence up it has got
to be 30 feet from the edge of the lateral.
Morrow: From water's edge, so from a practical standpoint how do you maintain the
Meridian City Council
June 20, 1995
Page 7
landscaping?
Caven: Everything north of that fence will not be landscaped, it is not on our property and
we will put the fence up and the irrigation district will maintain that no man's land.
Morrow: So if I understand what you are saying correctly if the fence is not there then it
gets that 30 feet gets landscaped. If the fence is there then the 30 feet does not get
landscaped. I see
Caven: Looking in the future and we put a fence up now Meridian Road, if you know
Meridian and 1 st there is a lot of design right now going on in the improving of those 2
streets. I think ACHD is considering Gem doing improvements to Gem Street at the same
time. If they would do that I would foresee that lateral would be tiled by ACHD to get the
road width they would like going through there. We have a meeting scheduled with them
next week to talk to them about some of the ideas because we are bonding for some of
those improvements.
Morrow: I think the other issue from our standpoint as a City is that we are not very far off
of seeing that final design from Franklin Road/East FirstlWaltman Lane that entire area.
Gary does that include Gem Road also does it not? Is there not some stuff there, there
is, not?
Smith: I haven't seen anything on Gem.
Caven: I think ACHD contacted us and wanted to meet because I think they are now
thinking follow the road improvement they would like to see Gem Street be a part of this
project and include it in there. My feelings would be if I have to put up a fence I might as
well take the cost of that fence and work with ACHD and see if they would foot the rest of
the bill and put that money into tiling. If we are going to go to the expense of putting up
a fence and not having landscaping. I would rather take that money and work with ACHD
and get the ditch tiled.
Morrow: I think from a practical standpoint Mr. Caven that work by ACHD is some 2 years
away yet.
Caven: Yes, maybe, I know Les Schwab is bonded or put in money for trust for
improvement of Gem Avenue also.
Morrow: I don't have anymore questions.
Kingsford: You have heard the motion and second, roll call vote.
Meridian City Council

ROLL CALL VOTE: Morrow - No, Yerrington - Yea, Corrie - No, Tolsma - No
MOTION FAILS: 3 - No, 1 - Yes
Kingsford: That being the case you need to look at amending your findings.
Crookston: That I can do.
Kingsford: I assume that you are talking about them specifically dealing with that issue of
fencing.
Morrow: That is correct, I have no problems with the rest of the findings. I do have a
problem with the conclusions with respect to fencing.
Kingsford: From my standpoint I would like to see the result of the meeting that Mr. Caven
has with the Highway District if we are talking 2 years tiling I would not be for necessarily
putting a fence up that is gone for all the years that lateral was created. It is an industrial
area rather than a subdivision I don't have as much concern as I would if it were in a
subdivision. I share your concerns generally.
Tolsma: Especially where the other side is controlled by ACHD and they don't (inaudible)
so it is still open on one side and not the other.
Morrow: The additional point here is that ACHD controls the fate of that fencing on 3 sides,
that property has been a functioning commercial entity for a number of years. It has only
been within the last couple of years that there has been virtually not much going on there.
So, that seems to me to be part of the issue also, I think in this case it would be better to
have grass than fence and bareness in the short term. And if ACHD is going to
incorporate covering it in the long term than it is mute.
Kingsford: Another minor consideration is the Fire Department does use that on occasion
for drawing water in that particular area in the case of a fire if there is insufficient hydrant
capacity too. Access is useful in that regard. So anyway, I guess the proper motion would
be to have the City Attorney prepare amended findings.
Morrow: Mr. Mayor I would move that we instruct the City Attorney to prepare amended
findings of fact and conclusions of law for the Wild Shamrock Partnership.
Tolsma: Second
Kingsford: Moved by Walt, second by Ron to have the City Attorney prepare amended
Meridian City Council

findings of fact and conclusions of law for Wild Shamrock Partnership, all those in favor?
Opposed?
MOTION CARRIED: All Yea
Kingsford: If you would Mr. Caven the results of that meeting would be beneficial to the
Council.

MOTION CARRIED: All Yea
ITEM #10: FINAL PLAT: LOS ALAMITOS SUBDIVISION NO. 2 BY FARWEST
DEVELOPERS:
Kingsford: Does the Council have any questions on that final plat?
Morrow: Mr. Mayor, at this time I would like to ask Gary Smith to address a couple of
comments that appear to be on all three of the plats that we are dealing with tonight.
Obviously we tabled the D.W. one but comment NO.2 with respect to the water system.
If he could make us a short presentation because I think that has some bearing on what
it is we are going to do with these plats.
Kingsford: Mr. Smith, I know you have spent a day and a half on that subject and will be
well versed.
Smith: Thank you, we have been receiving a few complaints from residents within the City
and various parts of the City but primarily in the northeast part that they have been
experiencing low water pressure. In the past there have been other reports in the past year
Meridian City Council
June 20, 1995
Page 11
or so of lower water pressure. This year it seems to be much more significant. At the time
that I submitted these comments to you we weren't sure exactly what was happening. On
all of the subdivisions that come before you for approval or a decision we run a water flow
check through our computer model to verify that we have fire flow of 1,000 gallons per
minute with a residual pressure of at least 20 psi or a minimum of 20 psi which is a fire
flow minimum standard. At this point in time we have not had a failure in that computer
model. Since the time that I wrote these comments to you we have done some
investigating with our water superintendent with our water consulting engineer that help
develop the computer model. It doesn't appear as though we have a supply problem
although we just began to do some changing in our telemetry control system. So we don't
know for sure. We have had a certain sequence of wells come on and turn off depending
upon the water level in the tank. We have juggled the sequence of the wells coming on
and turning off such that we have a well, a lead well coming on that is located in the
northeast part of town. Hopefully with this well running more it will pressurize that system
in that area and upgrade the pressure. At this time, because we only did that this morning
I don't really know what the results of that will be.
Morrow: Can you guess how long it will be before we have meaningful information for that
problem, a week or 2 weeks?
Smith: I would think that it would be pretty evident within a few days as to whether that
is going to work or not. We have put some pressure recorders out in the system in that
area. Particularly at the homes of some people that have been in contact with us
previously about the water pressure problem. The other thing that is a little bit bothersome
is that our big well runs a lot, Well No. 15 on Linder at the Vineyards Subdivision runs a
lot. For example, yesterday the information out of the computer showed that it ran 24
hours out of 24 hours. The other well that was running in conjunction with that well ran
for approximately 4 hours on and off during that 24 hour period. For example, yesterday
only 2 wells were on of the seven wells that we have supplying the City. So, we have 2
wells of the seven that are down. One well in the northwest part of town, Cherry Lane and
Ten Mile Road will be in operation in ten days, back in operation in ten days. Which will
help the pressure situation out there which will in turn help the pressure situation in the
northeast part of town becuase since the gradient is from east to west and we have
additional flow then provided in the west that flow gradient will not be as great from east
to west which will help the pressure on the east part of town. I just became concerned
because I didn't know what the answer was. I knew we were getting a lot of calls and I
didn't feel prudent in marching ahead with more development until we knew or at least
from my standpoint in saying that we have the ability to serve untill knew what was
happening. I don't know as of this point in time I feel fairly comfortable that it is not a
supply problem just based on looking at the run stop records of the wells. Yesterday we
had 2 wells running all day is all. We have some cool weather right now, this weekend is
Meridian City Council
June 20, 1995
Page 12
projected to be 90 to 95 degrees, hot weather again. It is just a fact that people pour the
water to the lawns good or bad. Thankfully based on your efforts the pressurized irrigation
is becoming a reality which is very helpful and will continue to be helpful. Nevertheless,
I just felt uncomfortable at the time I wrote these comments I didn't want to proceed without
knowing what was really happening.
Morrow: Let me ask you this, are you still a little uncomfortable, would you feel better if we
postponed these until our July 5th meeting which is a matter of 10 or 12 days from now or
do you feel comfortable enough where you are at in terms of this troubleshooting to press
on tonight with them?
Kingsford: I think the question that I was going to ask Gary may have some information
for Mr. Morrow on that subject. What was the amount that the wells put out that ran
yesterday in number of gallons per minute?
Smith: Well, I don't know the total gallonage Mayor, but Well No. 15 was running about
1,950 gallons per minute and Well No. 14 pumps about 1,550 gallons per minute.
Kingsford: What is our total if all the wells were running what is their capacity?
Smith: If we had Well NO.9 which has been off for awhile and 12 back on line those 2
wells back on line we would be at around 9,000 I think 9,100 gallons per minute total.
Kingsford: So we were running it just over a 1/3 of our capacity?
Smith: Well, 14 didn't run, it ran only 4 hours out of the 24 hours.
Kingsford: I mean when they were both running.
Smith: When they were both running correct. As I mentioned earlier, I don't think that
supply is a major problem, I think it is an issue. Well No. 16 which has been drilled and
is out for bid right now for equipping the pump and pump house is a pretty important well
for that end of town, for the east end of town. It is important from the standpoint of
pressure on Eagle Road and East of Eagle Road in the commercial area which we are
lacking in right now. It is important for fire flow demand, quantity of water. I wouldn't
expect that Well No. 16 would be operational for maybe 45 days from the date that we
open bids which would be the first week in July. I am still not absolutely comfortable that
we have solved the pressure dilemma in the northeast part of town. I think though that we
are going to see some positive change there by the different sequencing of the wells
coming on. And I know that we are going to see some positive impact when Well No. 12
is reactivated in the northwest part of town. Exactly what that means in terms of numbers
Meridian City Council
June 20, 1995
Page 13
I don't know. I guess my conservative attitudes from engineering just kind of take over a
little bit. Because we have been running pretty hard everywhere.
Corrie: I think from that explanation I would feel more comfortable tabling this until the July,
would the July 5th meeting help you a little bit more on that Gary?
Smith: Yes sir, it would, it would give us a chance to see what is going to happen, how
things are going to react. I think that we are going to have to play with this a little bit with
the controls. The controls on the telemetry because it is controlled by our tank level the
controls in the telemetry system are very touchy. A change in a tenth of a foot in the on
and off sequence of a well makes a difference, it doesn't seem like it would but it certainly
does because I can stand there at the board and watch it happen. I think we need to and
talking with our Water Superintendent he says the same thing, it is very touchy it has very
little change can make a difference. I am not sure that, I think that the demand on the
system has an effect on that change too. How soon the change takes place in the tank the
water level changes in the tank. There are several things that we are looking at to modify
our control system. One of them is to modify the telemetry such that part of the wells
would be operated off of the water level in the tank and part of the wells would be
operated off of pressure set points within an area such as the northeast part of town that
would have a well on or off only by pressure in that region on that area. So we would have
a pressure zone out there. But some of these things that we talked about we need to look
at harder and find out all the intricacies of what kind of changes would need to be made.
to accomplish it and how beneficial it would be to do that.
Kingsford: I think personally I recognize Gary's concerns but as we look at last year's flows
in the wells cycling on and off I agree we have a problem with pressure, but even last year
during the hottest season all the wells did not run anywhere near all the time.
Smith: There were days when they were all running.
Kingsford: But not anywhere near all the time.
Smith: Not all the time no sir, we have the peak periods of time that they were all on.
Kingsford: The other thing that I think the Council needs to look at is we are looking at 45
days to 50 days to have that well on in the eastern part of town. These subdivision if
approved tonight are not likely to have a house built and on line for that prior to that well
being on line. Whatever your guys comfort level is.
Tolsma: Question for Gary, when is our next (inaudible) corner of Ustick and Locust Grove
area are we going to (inaudible) when is that up for bid (inaudible).
Meridian City Council
June 20, 1995
Page 14
Smith: Yes, it would be started quite soon, I have already placed and order with Idaho
Power, a work order with them to generate the power being brought into the lot. We do
have the deed for the lot, basically we have the specifications from the last well put
together with some minor changes that thing can go out the door in pretty short order for
drilling.
Tolsma: What is the time frame on that roughly, six months?
Smith: No it wouldn't be that long, I would say that well at a minimum we would have
before a driller, once we start advertising it would be a minimum of probably a month
before we had a driller on the site to start drilling. If we had another 2 months well, let's
see. If we had a driller on the site for a month that would be 2 months and I don't think he
would be there that long depending on the type of drill rig that he has. But a reverse rotary
drill for example can drill a well in a week, they are in and out of there in a hurry. But
assuming that we had a cable tool rig come in and drill it then that could take a while and
anymore I can't tell you how long a cable tool takes to drill, it seems like forever. I would
think that a month to get a contract through a month to get them in there and out of there
for drilling, 2 months to equip it, so we are probably 4 months.
Tolsma: So we are still into September, late September.
Smith: Yes
Tolsma: After the peak water usage anyway.
Smith: It would be getting in on the tail end of the peaks correct. Then we have another
well to drill south of town on Locust Grove at the Los Alamitos site. That is kind of
important over there too just based on the development that is going on plus the fact that
we only have one well on that side of the interstate and we have one water line crossing
of the interstate.
Tolsma: (Inaudible) Locust Grove and Ustick,
Smith: Right.
Morrow: Mr. Mayor, I think from my standpoint it is my preference that 2 weeks is not or
July 5th is not a major time frame to wait. I think that I would feel more comfortable in terms
of our staff if we tabled both item 10 and 11 until July 5th. So I would move that we table
items 10 and 11 until July 5th.
Yerrington: Second
Meridian City Council
June 20, 1995
Page 15
Kingsford: Moved by Walt, second by Max to table items 10 and 11 the final plats for Lost
Alamitos and Salmon Rapids Subdivisions NO.2 until the July 5th meeting, all those in
favor? Opposed?
MOTION CARRIED: All Yea
Smith: Mr. Mayor, can I make one more comment, just for the applicant and their
representatives that might be here tonight. I hope they understand that this is being taken
very seriously by me because for the welfare of the people that are already here utilizing
water. I hope I am not over-reacting I just felt like I needed a few minutes to get a good
assessment on what the situation is and give you the best information possible for
decisions.
ITEM #12: PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR ANNEXATION AND ZONING OF 39.87
ACRES TO R-4 BY PNE/EDMONDS CONTRUCTION (PACKARD SUBDIVISION):
Kingsford: At this time I will open that public hearing and invite the owner or his designee
to speak first.
Ted Hutchinson, Tealy's Land SUNeying, 109 South Fort Street, Boise, was sworn by the
City Attorney.
Hutchinson: Thank you Mr. Mayor and members of the Council, we are requesting
annexation of about just under 40 acres of ground, we are adjacent to the city limits on 2
sides. We have Wingate Place subdivision on the west side and the next phase whenever
it comes before you of Dove Meadows on the south as well as the Capital Christian Center
on the south. We are located west of Eagle Road there is a 1/4 mile separation between
Eagle Road and our site. We are also a 1/4 mile north of Fairview. We do stretch, we are
about that square 1/4 in there. There is a subdivision application which was delayed at
the Planning and Zoning level we believe we have everything ironed out at their last
meeting they recommended approval and passed that on. That subdivision request will
be coming before you. The area surrounding the site is predominantly residential zones,
there is R-8 to the west which has the smaller lot sizes and R-4 I believe to the south. We
are proposing that this be annexed for residential development with an R-4 density. The
lots will be at least the minimum lot size would meet the R-4 zoning standards. The lot
sizes that we are proposing range from 8,000 to almost 20,000 square feet. We have
reviewed the findings of fact and conclusions of law that were issued by the Planning and
Zoning Commission. We agree with those basically I believe they were recommending
that this be annexed and that there were several requirements that were included.
However there seem to be some confusion because we are also submitting Packard
Subdivision NO.2 which is going to be north of this site and north of that or adjacent to that
Meridian City Council
June 20, 1995
Page 16
in fact running through the middle of that is a portion of Wingate Lane which is not a public
road and I don't believe it is an approved private road by Ada County. But there was some
confusion about the development that should occur next to those properties that front on
Wingate Lane. And basically those are properties that are north of the South Slough
excuse me there is a lateral that runs in there, north of that lateral that is south of Carol
Subdivision. I think there was some confusion in the findings concerning any development
that occurs against those. I think that basically shoudl be reserved until Packard
Subdivision NO.2 comes along which will be, in fact it will be heard by the Planning and
Zoning Commission this Thursday night. Anyway (End of Tape) Again on page 3 there
is some confusion regarding Wingate Lane and how much development of Packard
Subdivision NO.1 would affect those parcels that are on Wingate Lane. Virtually none of
those parcels will be affected by this particular development. The Packard Subdivision No.
1 that we are proposing to develop in four phases the first phase would be the far
southwest portion of the site. The second phase would extend up to the lateral which
forms our northern boundary and phase 3 the northeast corner and finally phase four being
the southeast corner just north of the Capital Care Center or Capital Christian Center. The
findings and conclusions particularly in the requirements and we are just talking about the
annexation and zoning of this particular piece of ground we understand that the City of
Meridian prefers development agreements. The developer has picked up a copy of the
development agreement, I believe they are getting that ready so that it can be submitted
to the City of Meridian for review and ultimate adoption. We would like to ask if you look
at page 13 beginning on page 13 where we talk about the issue at hand which is the
annexation and in the findings it says that the application for annexation and zoning is in
conformance with the Comprehensive Plan it is not in conflict with the rural sections. It
discusses the large lots in the Wingate Lane area and the Carol Subdivision area in
requiring buffering. In the design of the subdivision which will be coming before you we
have proposed some pretty good sized lots up against the Carol Subdivision and we have
added considerable amounts of depth to those lots so that we can require an additional
rear yard setback to provide some distance between any dwellings that may be developed
in the Packard Subdivision and the existing dwellings in Carol Subdivision. The lots on
the Wingate Lane we will specifically address when we bring forward the Packard
Subdivision No. 2 should be noted at this point that the lots along Wingate are not
developed to their full potential. Basically these are unplatted parcels. They range in size
from probably an acre to five acres or more. Basically they do have a considerable
redevelopment potential. Conversely the lots in the Carol Subdivision are fully developed
and there would be, there really is no comparison between the lots that lie in Carol
Subdivision and those that are in the Wingate area. There is little or no opportunity for
redevelopment of Carol Subdivision, however the lots along Wingate Lane are large tracts
that will in all likelihood redevelop at least to an R-4 density. Although the current property
owners mayor may not be inclined to develop their property a realistic evaluation of the
property value is based on the redevelopment potential for those parcels. The highest and
Meridian City Council
June 20, 1995
Page 17
best use of those tracts is not going to be 1 to 5 acre parcels. The highest and best use
will be found in the development of lots that are 6,000 to 8,000 square feet. Particularly
those tracts that are next to the Kearney Place Subdivision, Wingate Place and
Chamberlain Estates Subdivisions. For those parcels closer to Ustick Road most of that
redevelopment will most likely be similar to the development which has been approved
north of Wingate. So we ask that in your review of the findings and before you issue the
findings we would ask that you maybe take a look at those items that do not specifically
affect Packard No.1 which is the 39.87 acres south of the lateral. Again, we are
contiguous to the City limits, your comprehensive Plan has designated this as a residential
zone. We are trying to provide for buffering between the Carol Subdivision which is an
acre lot subdivision currently under county jurisdiction and those smaller lot subdivisions
which are located within the Meridian City limits. Those basically have an R-8 density and
have lots as small as I believe about 6,000 square feet. We do comply with the provisions
of your Comprehensive Plan, the subdivision will be in compliance with your zoning
ordinance and development standards. We ask that you annex this property with the zone
of R-4. Are there any questions from the Council?
Kingsford: Questions from the Council? Mr. Morrow?
Morrow: I have some, is my packet missing, there is no proposed, in my information, there
is no proposed lot layout or any of those kinds of things.
Kingsford: He is indicating that is still at P & Z.
Morrow: The question is why is not with this?
Hutchinson: Mr. Mayor, Councilman Morrow, the application, the P & Z held it up they felt
comfortable with the annexation when they acted on the annexation. However, they had
a couple of questions for the City Engineer so they delayed the application for the
subdivision. At their last meeting the Planning and Zoning Commission did recommend
approval and passed the subdivision proposal on for you. I am not sure when that is going
to be scheduled for you.
Kingsford: You didn't receive this map, I thought that everyone received it. I don't have
it out here I have seen it.
Hutchinson: I have a view foil, I don't know if you have an overhead projector.
Kingsford: We don't right here. Do you have any other questions?
Morrow: Not at this time.
Meridian City Council

Kingsford: I would comment then that the Council should have received a letter that we
received today from Mr. Vern Alleman with regard to his comments. If he would like to
make those he is welcome to but we will include that in the record. Anyone else from the
public that would like to offer testimony?
Don Brian, 2070 North Locust Grove, was sworn by the City Attorney.
Brian: I am one of those confused individuals that he is talking about. I don't know what
the distinction is between Packard 1 and Packard 2. Is it my understanding that what is
on the agenda tonight is that parcel south of Carol Subdivision? Or does anybody know
on the Council?
(Inaudible)
Brian: On that parcel my ditch lateral runs the entire length of the east side if I am not
mistaken and on the entire south side also. I haven't got a copy of the findings from the
planning and zoning so I am not aware of what it states in there but I voiced by concern
at the Planning and Zoning meeting about as they progress through this subdivision in
phases of 1,2,3 and 4 they are working right around that lateral. It was my wishes at the
time of planning and zoning to persuade them to get all the ground work such as the tiling
of that ditch done as soon as they start phase 1 and get that out of the way so it doesn't
lead onto a situation that we have in Dove Meadows which is adjacent and they waited
until the last, they waited until their subdivision approval ran out of time and hasn't been
approved. They haven't buried that ditch yet and we still have problems with the ditch out
there. Because they waited until the final phase in the Dove Meadows project to that ditch
burying and now the final phase of Dove Meadows has lapsed and they haven't got
anything going. That ditch is going to lay open for another year or however long it takes
to get it developed. I would like to keep that from happening in this development and get
that ditch buried and out of the way and get me out of your guys hair for the next 4 phases
of this subdivision. I don't know if that was addressed in the findings or not if they are
going to do that. There is also a question of where that ditch lies and whose land it lies on,
whether it is one the developers side or if it is on the church property side and back on the
east side. I don't think anybody even knows where it is because it is buried and there are
a couple of ditches going over the top of it. So I don't know what is going to happen out
there and as that all becomes developed and the undeveloped portion to the road that is
all going to end up being buried. I know there is a problem with that ditch lateral. I get to
go out there and, I don't know what it is every 400 feet and check one of the clean out
boxes and find out what the problem is for 5,000 feet down to my place. That whole ditch
line is going to be in people's back yards all the way to my property when that
development is all done. I would just like to see that ditch be taken care of as they start
phase one or before and make that a requirement of the developer to get that out of
Meridian City Council
June 20, 1995
Page 19
everybody's hair. Also take care of the problems we had pending with the Dove Meadows
Ditch on what is going to happen with that. Because I don't know where that stands or
what the status is of that, what they are going to do. It is a temporary ditch now, Dan
Wood' development and Wingate Lane he has done his part, he has buried his ditch and
I am sure when he does phase 2 of Wingate he wlll do his tiling but nothing has been done
in Dove Meadows other than problems and relocation as a temporary stuff. It is anybody's
guess how long that is going to layout there. That is alii have.
Kingsford: Do you have any questions?
Morrow: I guess my only question would be is that we are getting some relief there with
respect to the flooding. These issues that you are discussing now are with respect to the
supply of water to your.
Brian: Right, the live water coming to feed me. The drain water, to give you the rest of the
Councilmen an update on the drain water that I had problems with last year or the last four
years of flooding I have been dealing with the Avest people on the Fred Meyer property
and they have put in a temporary ditch and a diversion that has taken care of the flooding
problem so I haven't been flooded out this year yet. This is just the live ditch.
Kingsford: I didn't know if it was that or you just didn't like me anymore that I hadn't seen
you.
Brian: There is more to life than City Council.
Kingsford: Thank you Don, anyone else from the public?
Helen Sharp, 2445 Wingate Lane, was sworn by the City Attorney.
Sharp: I am at the end of Wingate Lane and of course we have lived there numerous
years and I of course would disagree with the developer in that we are not using our land
to the maximum. Not everybody wants to live in a subdivision, we kind of like the idea that
we bought five acres, we would like to see it that way. We moved out there in that country
lane that we maintain, we would like to keep it that way and while it does not directly affect
this particular he was the one that suggested in time it will because Wingate Lane is going
to be involved in it. The main reasons that I am against this annexation is because it is
going to open too many doors and the services are not there. The developer knew when
he bought this land and proceeded to develop that at this time water and sewer are not
available. Should this board or this Council of the City of Meridian grant this then I would
assume since part of the niceties or good things about (inaudible) are the services that are
to be provided being sewer and water. If they are not there that could be lift station with
Meridian City Council
June 20, 1995
Page 20
the lift station that of course would be another expense for the City of Meridian. And I
don't believe that the Meridian residents should be burdened with an expense to the
betterment of a developer so he could have what he wants. And I think that, I (inaudible)
I think that is very evident when the plat itself is not being presented at this time along with
the zoning and the request for annexation. I think this one way to put guilt upon this board
they have spent so many dollars to start this and it is easy to say what do I do with it now.
I can't economically feasibly sit on it and wait for an action that is (inaudible) and the
feasibility of any project (inaudible) why this board should even consider it. It certain is not
there, we have another real serious problem, we are asking our kids to go to schools that
are overcrowded and I think the public has spoken very strongly when they denied the last
bond issue. And it is going to get progressively worse. We do know that the children that
live right in the immediate area of St. Joseph school cannot attend and what will this do
with the school if they continue to build right close by it. Also the traffic, the traffic is
horrendous if you live in that and (inaudible) back to phase 2 crossing private lane
Wingate because they want to go off Locust Grove (inaudible) even Locust Grove now is
worse than Wingate Lane which is a private lane. We do keep that maintained. Of course
our question and our concerns are stop it now before it gets even further out of hand. You
can annex this which would be an opening for phase 2, why do we have to be concerned
about that. We are talking about this specific piece of land and I say now we do not have
the services, we know the services are up there (inaudible) I don't think it should be
granted. Here again I think if Planning and Zoning was not willing to give it to you as a
total package they gave it to you in parts then it should be acted on this until we find out
just exactly what the proposals are. Thank you.
Kingsford: Questions for Mrs. Sharp? Anyone else from the public?
Dale Sharp, 2445 Wingate Lane, was sworn by the City Attorney.
Sharp: I kind of resent the fact that this is being presented in a piece meal fashion where
you say Packard No.1, 2, 3, and 4 and they know darn well it hinges on crossing Wingate
Lane and this is a private lane and you are going to affect the traffic on that lane and they
say well people won't use that lane, but they will. They will use it because they got to
leave us access to Ustick from our place. And they say they will use the paved lane but
people come down there and try and use it just for a short cut to Ustick and also if this
happens these different phases they will try and use Wingate Lane to bring their
construction equipment in if this is approved for these different phases. I do have water
pressure of the neighbor over in the subdivision south of me. He said we just have a
trickle that is coming out of there. Putting it mildly he was not very happy. As far as the
annexations and zoning there, they don't have the sewer. The schools are overcrowded
and the public has spoken and said something has to be done here. We don't have this
now and we are just compounding it if we continue to annex and place these subdivisions
Meridian City Council
June 20, 1995
Page 21
in existence. As far as putting bigger lots and so forth close the Carol Subdivision we
would like also to have bigger lots and so forth closer to our property if these are
approved. We have been out there 30 years practically and I think we deserve just as
much consideration as Carol Subdivision residents. In fact we, they were going to put
mobile homes in that Carol Subdivision and we opposed that. Now we have a beautiful
subdivision, why can't we have something like this going on instead of these small and
(inaudible) where people don't have enough room and so they get, there is always these
people get mad and everything else. I think it is just because they don't have enough room
they don't have any privacy and if a house starts on fire the next house starts on fire and
that happened right over here, right over south of Meridian. So, I think we need to look at
these things before we ever approve. These piece meal planning and approval of these
things I am just opposed to it and I am opposed to this annexation.
Kingsford: Questions for Mr. Sharp?
Corrie: Wingate Lane, is that, you say it is a private lane and who is that owned by, is that
owned by you?
Sharp: We have access the property owners have access down there and it was granted
in 1913.
Kingsford: Who is the owner of the deed, does it go as it progresses.
Sharp: As it progresses down right.
Morrow: So each property owner owns a portion of the lane and then you maintain it.
Sharp: I might offer more we went to Ada County Planning and Zoning here abut 4 or 5
years ago and at that time they said there would be no more single family residential
permits off of Wingate Lane. If you do cross Wingate Lane and put those houses up there
that is going to in effect put more permits off of that lane. At the time they said okay we
will allow this one property to build a house there then subsequent to that an individual
down at the end of the lane bought some property and they denied it solely on that basis.
So I think that when you start affecting the people that live on Wingate Lane I think you
should give us some consideration because we have been there a long time and we have
been supportive of Meridian, Ada County and the State of Idaho.
Kingsford: Any other questions? Anyone else from the public?
Floyd Reichert, 2575 Wingate Lane, was sworn by the City Attorney.
Meridian City Council
June 20, 1995
Page 22
Reichert: I would like to give a little input on the clarity of Wingate Lane. When it was
dedicated by the land owners as the East 15 feet of the northwest section. It is recorded
on a contract of agreement, recorded at the court house. Wingate Lane is one the property
of those on the west side of the lane. I have asked repeatedly from people on the east
side of the lane to dedicate right of way when they build their home and they have never
dedicated any footage other than 2 homes. Those 2 homes have dedicated 25 feet but
they pi led rocks out there and planted trees that you can't use the east side of the lane.
If you need be I can bring that document from the court house that was recorded down
there in 1913 of who owns that 15 feet. It is the property owners on the west side of the
lane. It is the east 15 feet of their boundary.
Kingsford: Can I ask you a question please? That being the case, you're the ownership
Mr. Sharp's question confused me. The owner of this property then would be able to
traverse across that lane because they do not own it, am I right there?
Reichert: If you are looking at the first subdivision that you look out (inaudible) property
that is directly east of my property doesn't have it, that was the old Kirkpatrick place when
I moved out there. The property that is south or north of my property owns the 15 feet,
owns Wingate Lane. Just like the man that owns the property and paid taxes on it for 40
years on the end down there of Ustick that can't use it owns it and pays taxes on it. Any
other questions?
Kingsford: Let's see if there is other comment first please. Anyone else from the public?
Your response.
Hutchinson: Thank you Mr. Mayor, again I am Ted Hutchinson of Tealey's Land
Surveying, a lot of the, I think we are getting into issues that will be specifically addressed
when we get to Packard Subdivision No, 2 and I believe that most of you have, somehow
that got into your packet for tonight and that is coming forward to you. I have a map of the
area that shows the location of our property in relation to the development and I will submit
this into you. This is Fairview Avenue here, Eagle Road, Locust Grove. We have Wingate
Place Subdivision No.1, NO.2 I believe is going to be to the west of that. Kearney Place
Subdivision is here. Dove Meadows is in this area down in here with the Capital Christian
Center being located here. The hatch part here is our proposal is 39.87 acres just barely
under 40 acres. I believe it is Hickory Way is the road that goes into Dove Meadows, we
will have to extend Hickory Way into our property to get access to Fairview Avenue. Then
we will develop basically phase 1 is this area down here and then phase 2 of here, phase
3 and then phase 4. Wingate Lane is this area that runs from Ustick Road down to the
Sharps's property which is right here in the corner. Again Kearney Lane is immediately
south of Sharp's, R-8 6,000 square foot lots. Chateau Meadows NO.6 is also R-8 forms
the Western boundary of the Sharp property. Wingate Lane as they have indicated was
Meridian City Council
June 20, 1995
Page 23
deeded in 1913 to the property owners I believe there were originally 3 property owners
now there are at least 11 property owners in that property. Mr. Alleman lives up in here
I believe his property extends part way out there I am not sure who else has property
immediately adjacent to Wingate Lane. Mr. Alleman sold a portion of his property to his
brother who has subsequently sold that property to the Brown's, the Brown's sold the
property to Pacific Northwest Electric and Edmonds Construction. That is this property
right in here. This property right here was owned by the Borup's they have also sold to
Pacific Northwest Electric and Edmonds Construction. So everything that was in the
heavy dots up in here is now owned by Pacific Northwest and Edmonds as well as this.
When this subdivision up in here comes before you the portion of Wingate Lane that lies
on the PNE/Edmonds property will be constructed as public road right of way and
dedicated to the Highway District. It is only going to affect that portion that lies within the
subdivision. Access to the Sharp's and to the Reichert property will have to be maintained.
They have legal access to that easement we will provide access onto a public road right
of way and then they will traverse the public road right of way to the edge of the right of
way and then they will be given the opportunity to get back onto the easement that goes
out to Wingate. Now this presents kind of an interesting problem, we are looking at
working this out with the Highway District whether it takes a gate across Wingate to
prevent the residents is something that we will have to get worked out. But again that is
in the second phase. I think these kind of issues are clouding the issue which is basically
this piece of ground right here. We have Meridian City limits on the west boundary and on
the south boundary. It is in an area that your comprehensive plan calls for residential
development. We are proposing that it me R-4 which is, it is larger lots than those that
have been approved to the south and west of the property. We are providing a buffer
against the one acre lots in Carol Subdivision as I stated before that is pretty well at a
maximum development I don't think you will see any type of redevelopment in Carol. With
the current development that is there it would take a complete re-do of that property in
order for them to re-develop. These other properties that are along Wingate Lane are
larger tracts, they have nothing, one single family dwelling on them. The opportunity for
them to re-develop is there and it is going to happen. Again whether it is similar to the
Kearney or Chateau Meadows that would be up to the City Council ultimately on what size
lot size or whether or not it would go to the lower R-4 density similar to what we are
proposing in Packard Subdivision. As far as piece meal I don't believe this is piece meal
this was submitted as a package to the Planning and Zoning Commission again they felt
comfortable enough with the annexation and zoning request to recommend approval and
send it on to the City Council without the subdivision. Now they have subsequently acted
on the subdivision and it is coming before you, I don't have the specific date, I don't know
if Shari has that date established yet or not but the subdivision is coming before you.
Kingsford: Can I ask you to you respond to the issue brought up with regard to sewer and
water?
Meridian City Council
June 20, 1995
Page 24
Hutchinson: Certainly, right now there is water at the end of Hickory Way which is in Dove
Meadows and we will extend water, that is , in talking with your Water Superintendent I
believe that was a 10 inch line. We will extend the 10 inch line into Packard and through
Packard to the north so that it will continue with a 10 inch line to the north. I believe we
also have to take the ten inch line out to either 8 or 10 inch I can't recall whether it is 8 or
10 that we extend to the property to the east. Sewer right now, there is sewer in Dove
Meadows, we have worked with Gary Smith the City Engineer and we recognize that it is
going to take a temporary lift station. There will be a temporary lift station that would
service just this parcel. We understand that if we when we submit this which is already
in the process that the sewer for this will come through the extension of the south slough
which is up in this area here. So this will be sewered by gravity and then once this is fully
developed in here then the temporary lift station will be able to be taken off and this whole
thing would gravity to the south slough trunk line. So there really are services available
to this, water and sewer. All be it we will be using a temporary lift station but we will work
that out with and make sure it is complete to the City Engineer's satisfaction. This would
be temporarily on a lift station. As soon as this one, sewer was extended through this then
the lift station would be removed.
Morrow: Question, what does temporary mean?
Hutchinson: Well, as soon as the sewer from the north is extended.
Morrow: I understand, is that 5 years, 10 years?
Hutchinson: I don't have a time frame on that.
Morrow: Who maintains the temporary lift station?
Hutchinson: I believe the City of Meridian maintains the lift station.
Corrie: So in other words if you don't do that NO.2 for 15 years we have a lift station for
15 years.
Hutchinson: That would be correct.
Corrie: That is expensive.
Kingsford: Any other questions? Anyone else from the audience?

Page 25
Kingsford: Well, we take your testimony whatever it is you wish to offer. Would you come
up here so we have you on tape please?
Sharp: On this drawing that he gave you may I see something please? Now if I can get
this turned around so I really know where I am. We are on the corner this is our corner
and the corner of the subdivision are right together, One of the problems that we heard
when it went to Planning and Zoning and I talked to the engineer and the Attorney for the
Highway Department, there has to be 2 accesses into and out of the properties. The
drawing that was submitted originally to Planning and Zoning had one. This is where
Phase 2 comes in and we have to take into consideration because in order to have that
separate access they want to develop this 2 crossing Wingate Lane and going out through
Locust Grove. There is not any immediate plans for Locust Grove and we know I have
attended (inaudible) studies done on Locust Grove. We have a light at Locust Grove and
they are going to do something about that intersection is coming in there. Nothing is being
planned for Locust Grove from Fairview to Ustick until 2001 and that is only because Fred
Meyer's is coming in there and because of the traffic. When this was brought up someone
said just because someone works at Micron does that mean they live at Columbia Village,
and I'm saying I hope not. (Inaudible) same as our situation here with Fred Meyer's and
(inaudible) live in one of these subdivisions immediately close to it. We talked about the
(inaudible) how is Meridian going to benefit. We are going to get an expense (inaudible)
thank you for asking what temporary meant that could mean 30 years. The only one that
is going to benefit is the developer (inaudible) with that tax base and (inaudible) but if you
had a $125,000 house (inaudible) of that money that you pay for taxes you would have
$481 that would go to the school district (inaudible) $2600 to educate a child in the
Meridian School District. (Inaudible) there is also the funds that come from (inaudible) and
I know we don't pay State taxes or Federal taxes all we pay is property taxes. So where
is this money going to come from? Here again when you are talking about broadening the
tax base it is a false front. If that was a big (inaudible) such a tremendous problem with our
schools. If our tax is so good with this tremendous influx of subdivisions. Here again the
only ones benefitting are developers. We have a high water table there, 18 inches down
we have hard pan and that is going to be brought up when the Brown property comes into
play again because (inaudible) the hard pan and the water won't flow. We have 6 inches
of water in one of the houses just to the (inaudible). We cannot ignore this (inaudible)
here again since we don't have the plat (inaudible) do we or do we not have (inaudible)
says there has to be. I for one say think about please think about this before you grant it.
Kingsford: Anyone else from the public?
Mick Dauvin, 2820 Wingate Lane, was sworn by the City Attorney.
Dauvin. Just a couple quick comments, I would think we would probably want to see a
Meridian City Council
June 20, 1995
Page 26
complete plot or plan before from P & Z before you act on an approval. Is there easements
granted for the permanent sewer line along the slough.
Kingsford: Thank you, anyone else? Seeing none I will close the public hearing. Council
members, Mr. Crookston has there been significant changes since the findings of P & Z?
Crookston: There have been people that did not testify at P & Z. I don't believe that the
comments are significantly different from what was presented at P & Z though.
Kingsford: What is the Council's pleasure?
Morrow: Mr. Mayor, from my perspective, and I am going to be consistent here with my
long held position that is that I am not seeing a whole project. I don't intend to vote for
these findings offact if that is in fact what the motion is until I see a whole project. I think
that it makes good sense from the stand point of the development teams and the contractor
teams and from the City's perspective, the neighbors perspective that we see the entire
thing. If we have got part of this held up at P & Z for actions there I think that we need to
see that. My major reason for that is that as a City the major hammer that we have is that
point of annexation. I want the loose ends tied up at the point of annexation so that it is
clear in our minds as a City, our citizens mind, the developers mind and the builders mind
exactly who gets what and who does what and all of those issues are resolved upfront and
not at some point later. So, from my perspective I am not prepared to vote on these
findings of fact and conclusions until I see the rest of the information.
Kingsford: When you say that you mean specifically the plat?
Morrow: The plat and those things that are related to this 40 acre subdivision. I would
think as a word of caution to the engineering folk it looks to me like there are some other
issues out there that and to the developer that maybe ought to be resolved because I can
see that some of those are real valid issues. And that would be a secondary point of
access and Wingate Lane, how you effectively keep people from using it if you are going
to tie into it and those kinds of things long term. That does affect this subdivision and it
does affect the neighbors at some point in the future. So I would like to hear some
comments with respect to that also or those issues being addressed at least.
Tolsma: Mr. Mayor, I agree with Walt's sentiments entirely. Also, in relation to Mr.
Alleman's comments here on the park that was originally proposed there which is no
longer out there I would like to see where that City park is going to be or where the
community park is going to be or where the green area or open area is supposed to be
inside that subdivision.

(Inaudible)
Kingsford: Sir, we have closed the public hearing and at a minimum we would need to
have this on tape but those are issues that I think need to parallel or at least the Council
is saying needs to parallel or at least the Council is saying needs to parallel the
annexation. That they want to have that either with or have these things before they
approve the annexation.
(Inaudible)
Kingsford: Shari, are you aware of that? July 18th they are saying.
(Inaudible)
Kingsford: I understand that what this Council would like to have as this annexation is
proceeding is that in front of them as to what is going to happen with the property.
Planning and Zoning has had that this Council has not seen that plat. That is as I am
hearing their comfort level is they need to have that.
Corrie: Mr. Mayor, also, I have some problems with this lift station it looks to me like you
should flip flop your subdivisions around. What, if you don't do number 2 for 10 or 15
years and let's say we don't have the population or growth pattern we are stuck with a lift
station cost. Is there, I think you should look at it the other way around. Get those
problems solved and then not have to do your lift station. So, I agree with the other 2
Councilmen, I am not at ease with this at all and wouldn't put it to a vote either. Just for
the comments of the developers.
Morrow: If I might raise another point Mr. Mayor, it seems to me that maybe part of what
is remiss here is that I guess my preference would be that P & Z not pass on these issues
piece meal. I don't know that is fair to us it is not fair to the public or the development
teams. I would think that it would make sense that either we get the whole thing from them
or nothing from them and if they are uncomfortable with parts then they hold it until they
are comfortable with the entire project and then forward it as one project. It seems to me
like there is some room for improvements there.
Kingsford: Other comments? What is your pleasure?
Morrow: My pleasure would be to table this until we received the second portion of it and
then look at the whole thing. If that is July 18th that we are going to receive that than I
would move that we table this until July 18th.

Tolsma: Second
Kingsford: A question then that I would have, you are saying the second part, now Shari
is Packard NO.2 on for the 18th? I wanted to be clear on what you said.
Morrow: The second part has nothing to do with Packard NO.2.
Kingsford: You are talking about the plat for Packard NO.1 this property?
Morrow: Yes
Kingsford: You have heard the motion and second, all those in favor? Opposed?
MOTION CARRIED: All Yea
Kingsford: I assume that you have those maps and we should be able to see those
forthwith. Even though the P & Z has them the Council should see those.

ITEM #13: REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF CROSSROADS SUBDIVISION:
Kingsford: Has the Council reviewed that, is there any question or discussion?
Tolsma: (Inaudible)
Kingsford: Is that right Shari, number 3 is the correct one for Crossroads NO.3 am I right?
Is that the one that they are asking for the extension on? That is correct.
Yerrington: Mr. Mayor, I move that we grant the extension to Crossroads Subdivision No.
3 until the first meeting in, well first of July 1996.
Morrow: Second
Kingsford: Moved by Max, second by Walt to grant the extension on Crossroads
subdivision NO.3 until the first meeting in July, 1996 all those in favor? Opposed?
MOTION CARRIED: All Yea
ITEM #14: REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF SPORTSMAN POINTE SUBDIVISION:
Meridian City Council
June 20, 1995
Page 29
Kingsford: Similar request, any questions on that?
Tolsma: Mr. Mayor I would move that we grant the extension for recording the final plat
on Sportsman Subdivision No. 5 and 6 for one year from this date, it would be the first
meeting in June, 1996.
Corrie: Second
Kingsford: Moved by Ron, second by Bob to approve of the extension of Sportsman Pointe
5 and 6 until the first meeting in June 1996, all those in favor? Opposed?
MOTION CARRIED: All Yea
ITEM #15: DEPARTMENT REPORTS:
Kingsford: Mr. Smith
Smith: Thank you Mr. Mayor and Council members. The first item on the department
reports is the Cherry Lane Road/Sunnybrook Subdivision fence. I believe you have in your
packet it should be the last item, a request from the Highway District to place a fence along
Cherry Lane Road adjacent to the Sunnybrook, I think it was the first phase of Sunnybrook
Subdivision to place this fence along the back of the sidewalk. Hopefully you have had
a chance to go out and take a look at that. I know Councilman Yerrington and I have
looked at it. I believe Councilman Corrie has looked at it and I think you can see just from
visual inspection that placement of the fence somewhere else on the slope of that fill would
create some problems. that is the reason that the Highway District requested this.
Basically it is a placement of a fence within the public right of way which is covered by a
section of our ordinance, I believe he refers to it, Ordinance 9-S07 F, G and 1 H. I asked
him to address the variance request to the City Clerk but the letter came to me. So
anyway it does require by that Ordinance section that the City Council approved of the
placement of the fence within the right of way. It really isn't a variance to the ordinance
as far as I can tell unless Wayne can say otherwise. It is strictly a request for approval as
required by the ordinance. If you have any questions I would be happy to try and answer
them.
Kingsford: Any questions for Mr. Smith? I have looked at it I think it is the only appropriate
thing they could do. I think we have to approve of their request.
Smith: Yes sir, that is the way I read the Ordinance.
Yerrington: I make the motion that we approve of the request.
Meridian City Council
June 20, 1995
Page 30
Corrie: Second
Kingsford: Moved by Max, second by Bob to approve of the Highway District's request to
place a fence through Sunnybrook FarmlCherry Lane in the easement, the Highway
District's easement, all those in favor? Opposed?
MOTION CARRIED: All Yea
Smith: The second item I have is a request from Roylance and Associates for an
easement relinquishment in Central Valley Corporate Park No.1, Lot 5 - Block 1, I will
pass out their written request along with a little photo copy of the lot. Any time a request
for a relinquishment is made it goes through the various utilities. They all have to sign off
on the request. At the top of the written page you can see there are five utilities listed
there one of which is the Meridian Department of Public Works. The area that I have
highlighted on that sheet states that the document will relinquish the 20 foot easement on
the north of Lot 5 - Block 1 and create a new 10 foot easement along the north line of
Block 5 - Lot 1. This document will relinquish the 20 foot easement along the west line of
Lot 5 - Block 1 and create a new 5 foot easement along that west line of Lot 5 - Block 1.
Public works department has no objection to this.
Tolsma: Mr. Mayor, could we require the same thing we did on this prior easement to
indemnify the City of all problems (inaudible)
Smith: I think in that case I believe that gentleman already had a foundation constructed
that was a problem. I don't know if that is appropriate but maybe Wayne could speak to
that. Typically if all the utilities sign off on it as far as relinquishing it then everybody,
someone along the line could say we can't relinquish this because we already have
something there for example. I don't know I guess Wayne would have to address it.
Tolsma: (Inaudible)
Crookston: I have not seen this relinquishment idea done before, I think what this is its a
vacation of a portion of the plat.
Kingsford: Well, it is not a portion of the plat your are vacating an easement in the plat.
The plat itself doesn't change except for the easement.
Crookston: That is true but you actually vacate the easement portion of the plat.
Kingsford: We have done that numerous times Wayne with regard to Fairview for example
the portion where the car wash is and so forth. We have seen this a lot, it doesn't change
Meridian City Council
June 20, 1995
Page 31
the plat.
Crookston: It does change the plat because the easement is removed from the plat.
Morrow: A portion of the easement.
Kingsford: It seems to me that the better approach would have been not to vacate 20 feet
but to vacate 15 feet and put it in a more logical English language.
Crookston: It is similar to where we vacated that irrigation easement for the property above
over off of Overland above the rim it was not in the City it was in the County and he
applied for a vacation of the easement, J think that is what these people want to do.
Kingsford: There are no utilities built there and what is the disposition of that property,
there is no building there either is that correct?
Smith: I think that is where Zamzows built their, what do they call it, corporate office, I
could be wrong.
Crookston: If you don't vacate it from the plat and have the plat changed it will always
show this easement on there.
Smith: I think the plat will always show the easement but it will have an attachment to it.
I am not sure, they don't physically change the plat Wayne I don't believe they just attach
a recorded document that says that this easement has been vacated or changed.
Tolsma: The building is already built and paved and asphalted and everything on this
property.
Smith: If that is the lot that I am thinking of Ron, then yes.
Tolsma: Our well sits on Lot 4 doesn't it?
Smith: That is the Eight Mile Lateral/
Kingsford: That is the ditch itself, that would be true then that would be the building that
they have already completed.
Morrow: Isn't this handled just as a recorded addendum to the plat and there is a notation
on the plat.
Smith: Yes I believe so. I know it would be handled that way if it was a vacation I am
Meridian City Council
June 20, 1995
Page 32
assuming that it would be recorded as a whatever the word relinquishment what significant
that has technically. I guess if you relinquish something you give it up which is what they
are asking us to do is to give up that easement right since it is a public utilities and
drainage easement. That is the way it is called out on the plat.
(Inaudible)
Smith: It would have been a lot easier if they had said that you are right.
Kingsford: Any other discussion? Is it the Council's desire to relinquish? I guess then to
grant then to put that on the plat or record it, I think it has to be recorded with the plat
unless you amend the plat it isn't going to change it.
Crookston: There is a procedure that you have to follow to vacate any portion of the plat.
This is shown, it is my understanding that this is shown on the plat as a utility easement.
They need to follow that process, I think it may very well be that nobody cares, but I think
they have to follow the process which is in the State code.
Kingsford: Well, I would entertain a motion by Council to send it back to them and
requesting them to do it that way.
Yerrington: So moved
Corrie: Second
Kingsford: Moved by Max, second by Bob to require the applicant to go through the proper
procedure on that vacation and use better English as they do it, all those in favor?
Opposed?
MOTION CARRIED: All Yea
Smith: Thank you Mr. Mayor and Council, the last item I have is on our Well lot No. 16 we
received a letter from Mr. Thomas Wright and he has requested that the appropriate
signatures be attached to a donee acknowledgement by a charitable organization. I will
pass out a copy of this document. Mr. Wright said in his cover letter please find enclosed
the original IRS form 8283 non-cash charitable contributions. Gemtone Inc, would ask if
you could secure the appropriate signature on part iv donee acknowledgement. If you
would then be good enough to return the form to us we will utilize it on our 1995 tax return.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation, Thomas T. Wright.
Kingsford: I would entertain a motion from the Council that they authorize me to sign that
Meridian City Council
June 20, 1995
Page 33
after the Counselor's review of that document.
Crookston: Well the thing that concerns me is there is no dollar amount on it.
Kingsford: That is one of the things I think we need to discuss with Tom Wright as far as
having that filled out before we sign. I think if there is an assessed value out there I don't
have an objection to that assessed value being on there. But an assessed value certainly
ought to be present.
Morrow: Mr. Mayor, I would move that we the City Council authorize the Mayor to sign and
the City Clerk to attest to the once proper documentation has been been done for the
donation from Gemtone Inc.
Tolsma: Second
Kingsford: Moved by Walt, second by Ron to authorize the Mayor to sign and the City
Clerk to attest the acknowledgement of donation from Gemtone Inc. once the appropriate
documentation has been filled in, all those in favor? Opposed?
MOTION CARRIED: All Yea
Smith: Thank you very much.
Kingsford: Thank you Mr. Smith. Shari? Mr. Chairman good to see you over there. Chief?
Gordon: Nothing your honor.
Kingsford: Counselor?
Crookston: Nothing
Kingsford: Walter?
Morrow: A couple deals, we have our strategic planning meeting next Tuesday, I'll remind
everybody that the items there are the sewer department will make its presentation with
respect to our fact finding as per the Council's instruction last month and the personnel
manual. The department heads should have that all back so that those presentations can
be made at that meeting and we can put that issue to rest. My second question is that
when do we start our budgeting hearings, that is coming up in July is it not? Is that when
we do the first ones?
Meridian City Council
June 20, 1995
Page 34
Kingsford: Well, we need to do it post haste, I would suggest that we look at budget
workshops in the first part of July.
Morrow: So we need to set those dates within the next couple of days then. Okay, the
third thing is that I had a question in my mind in terms of item #5 on the agenda with
respect to the Heaton thing. Once that documentation is signed off why can't the Mayor
and City Clerk sign off, why does it need to come back before us as a City Council, just a
question. I know that the findings called for that but is that really necessary? As I have
thought it through in terms of things that we have just (inaudible) point of discussion, it
doesn't matter to me.
Kingsford: Does the Council have any feeling one way or another on that? That was a part
of the decision required that issue come back and be approved by the Council.
Morrow: That was on the Heaton variance.
Tolsma; I think if all the documentation has come in and approved by the Attorney
(inaudible)
Corrie: Was this a time factor that you are concerned with?
Morrow: No, my concern is why do we need to have something as simple as that before
the Council and consume our time in a public meeting when it could be handled by staff
in house and be on down the road.
Corrie: The only thing that I would hesitate is if it is the Council's job then I hesitate to had
it off to staff.
Morrow: He provides the document, all he does is indemnify the City which is a simple
legal document and the Council reviews it and the Mayor signs it.
Kingsford: (Inaudible) you are going to look to him and ask him if that is adequate. I don't
disagree (inaudible). If that is your druthers that I would like that motion made in this
meeting so as you authorize me to sign and the City Clerk to attest to that after Counsel's
review.
Morrow: I will so move.
Yerrington: Second
Kingsford: Moved by Walt, second by Max to approve the Mayor to sign and the City Clerk
Meridian City Council
June 20, 1995
Page 35
to attest the Heaton application after it has been reviewed the City Attorney, the hold
harmless on liability issues, all those in favor? Opposed?
MOTION CARRIED: All Yea
Morrow: Last item is I would like to welcome our City Clerk replacement and recognize
that instead of having that insufferable candy we do have some real decent treats which
is chocolate chip cookies.
Kingsford: There is only one kind of cookie and that is chocolate chip I agree.
Morrow: Any invite her back or tell Will to change his ways.
Kingsford: I'm sorry gentlemen, were you prepared for something?
(Inaudible)
Kingsford: I guess this once I will allow that, normally we would ask you to please call in
and get on the agenda so the Council is prepared.
Wasson: First of alii think there probably ought to be cookies for the audience also. My
name is John Wasson I live in the Vineyards Subdivision. Sometime in the late January,
early February time frame we were talking about a zero lot variance of that property
contiguous to the car wash and Maverick station at the corner of Cherry and Linder. My
self and a number of our neighbors were there, we expressed our concerns and the
Council listened to us. Did in fact grant that variance if I am correct.
Crookston: Did not
Wasson: That makes me feel better. Henceforth there has been a building constructed
that is probably the most aesthetically displeasing building in Ada County that I have seen.
Certainly in the City, myself and my neighbor here to get some input other than being told
to take a negative "Z" access move we would like to know is there anything we can do
since it is built in the vicinity of $120,000 to $170,000 homes so we are already
established. The construction is along side of that building is aesthetically, not necessarily
pleasing but it goes along with the subdivision and it looks nice. Then you have this God
awful blue building that rises out of the middle of now where, Do we have any recourse,
is it supposed to be aesthetically pleasing within the area that it is constructed within?
Kingsford: It wasn't my recollection that there is a requirement for design review or any
of that sort of thing. Counselor does he have remedy, I guess you always have remedy.
Meridian City Council
June 20, 1995
Page 36
Wasson: I will say that I don't think that I am the only one because when I spoke with
Shari over there she said oh do you want to mention something about the lovely decor on
that building. So that kind of tells me that more than one or two people have called.
Kingsford: Is that building complete I guess is the question I have.
Wasson: Yes it is your honor, not only is it large and blue it has got a number of roof
mounted appliances, air conditioners and vents and whatever and what not.
Kingsford: The reason I ask that question is I heard numerous people complain in a
similar fashion about the building on Pine just before you get to the corner of Pine and
Linder, Developmental, Marty Lanholm's building. After it was finished I mean just with
some minor things it really doesn't look that bad. I haven't, very honestly I have not driven
by it because of the beautiful nature of Cherry Lane. I have (inaudible)
Wasson: We would be more than happy to have you up there and give you brownies while
you look at it.
(Inaudible)
Kingsford: I don't know Counselor can you speak to the issue of recourse?
Crookston: There is nothing in the City ordinances that require an owner to submit let's
say aesthetic plans. How they are going to construct a building, they have to submit
building plans but there is nothing that they have to show how they are going to paint it,
how it necessarily is going to be designed other than on the building permit plans which
are not approved by the Council it is approved by the Building Inspector. That is really, it
can be a problem, there are houses that are pink or purple that people don't like but there
is nothing that we can do. We don't have anything that says to tell people it has to be gray
or brown, we don't have anything.
Wasson: I understand that except I guess one of the reasons I was asking is because the
housing development that we live in does have a number of covenants that specify and
I know that is not inside of the subdivision boundaries.
Kingsford: I would expect that little business area has covenants. And that might be one
avenue for you to look at. Perhaps they are in violation of those and of course you
wouldn't be able to enforce those it would be incumbent upon Maverick or the car wash
or the others to be involved in that.
Crookston: Or the owner of the property, the one who owns the remaining portion of the
Meridian City Council
June 20, 1995
Page 37
property could enforce those restrictions if they are in fact there.
Wasson: I guess the other question would be is there anything we can do about having
heavy equipment cranked up and starting to operate at 6:15 and 6:30 in the morning with
concrete cutters going full bore at 07:00 exactly.
Kingsford: You are talking about the contractor doing the Cherry Lane?
Wasson: There was a concrete cutter 50 yards from my house going full bore at 07:00.
now I understand from talking with Shari that she got a hold of Chief Gordon and that the
quiet hours in town are from 23:00 to 06:00 which means I can go out there and raise 150
decibels of noise right in your front yard. Somehow that just doesn't seem proper.
Corrie: This is part of the road construction?
Wasson: I am not sure if it is all road or part of that Maverick construction Mr. Corrie. I
believe that the concrete cutter is part of the Maverick construction, by they have been out
there as late as midnight working on that building.
Corrie: I would think that with the lateness there would be some remedy.
Kingsford: Well yes if it falls in that frame of time. With regard to the Cherry Lane issue,
we can maybe be of some assistance as with any of the streets in town but it would be as
an advisory recommendation to the Highway District.
Wasson: We don't mind the heavy equipment moving down Cherry because we are a 100
meters off Cherry, but when they are parking their heavy equipment and that lot and
cranking it up at 6: 15 or 6:30 in the morning and letting those diesels warm up. I like a
number of other homeowners have young children we really like to put to bed before 11 :30
at night and let them sleep longer than 06:00 in the morning.
Morrow: I think we are caught here in a catch 22 situation let me address part of the
Cherry Lane deal as the representative from here that deals with the highway department
and how we go about those projects in Meridian. It has been our perception that those
projects are very disruptive, the City Council and Mayor through myself many times have
indicated to ACHD that we know those things are disruptive, it is our feeling as a Council
and as a City that we get in and do the maximum amount of work, minimize the amount of
time in terms of disruption and that your contracts and stuff are to be written with that in
mind. We have just suffered through a major catastrophe with respect to contracts with
Meridian Road and the rail road thing. A project that is very simple ends up taking almost
6 months, it is a prime example of prolonging the agony. It had a very detrimental effect
Meridian City Council
June 20, 1995
Page 38
on East 1 st to the point that we are some 21 ]000 cars plus. I am sympathetic with your
problems, I understand your problems but from the community standpoint it is in our best
interest to get in and get those projects done and get out so that we don't cause longer
than necessary. It is one of those a little pain now some pleasure later. One of the issues
that we raised with the award of this particular contract to the particular outfit that is doing
it is we were a little concerned that they would take too long and push hard on the bottom
end limits of the contract. It is beginning to look like they are going to actually complete
ahead of schedule. Our encouragement from the City to ACHD has been to continue to
press those folks for completion as quickly as possible. I understand what you are saying,
I am sympathetic to the problem but it seems to me like it is in the community's best
interest to get in and get the project done and get out. As opposed to having project after
project take time after time. The other thing we did there as a City is that ACHD very much
wanted to do those one mile sections at a time and disrupt that area for 2 years in a row.
We delayed that project for one year so we did both miles at the same time so that it would
only inconvenience you folks that live in the area one during one construction season.
Although I am sympathetic to the issues that you are raising I think it is in our best interest
to continue to push those folks to complete that work. It is going to be inconvenient for a
short period of time but that is kind of the nature of getting things done. In our business
in terms of the construction business quite candidly if you give somebody an excuse to go
off and do work someplace else they are going in a heartbeat. The minute you take the
pressure off then you begin to lose control.
Wasson: And I can understand that, and I can accept that. My question or request to the
Council would be whoever's equipment that is could you guys request that they park that
closer to the road and away from the property line fence line so that it is not as disruptive
at 6: 15 in the morning when they crank the big diesel over.
Morrow: I can't address those issues, that is something we will have to look at. I don't
know the specifics of where they are parking and on whose property.
Kingsford: Would you check into that Walt and see if there is a possibility of changing
that?
Since our audience is limited, have one and take one for your friend.
Corrie: (inaudible) that may relieve itself, I hope it does. I also hope that you don't have
the problem that Dominos suddenly puts on polka dots on the side of that building. I
understand where you are coming from.
(Inaudible)
Carleton: I just can't believe that the City of Meridian would allow construction of that type
Meridian City Council
June 20, 1995
Page 39
in an area where we have that expensive of homes. It is going to look like trash, you have
the cheapest construction built, cinder block roof top units with a sloping roof with gas
piping up the back. When you are looking out your back yard and you can see all this
construction. When I bought that lot they lied to us and told us there wasn't going to be all
of this, it would be professional looking buildings. I see it around other areas where they
enclose all of those units with fences on tope of the roof and cover that stuff and at least
paint them with a decor that is not. You just look at that, I am selling my house and getting
out of there because the fact is I was lied to when I bought it and the construction type
they told me they were going to build there is not adequate to what is going on around the
whole area of Boise. You look in these other subdivisions where they have commercial
property backing up to the commercial subdivisions it is (inaudible) not like these trashy,
it looks like something on skid row in the future those buildings are going to look like trash.
I am serious it is ugly for something out in Meridian like this. I am just astounded that it is
allowed, I don't know how it ever goes passed.
Kingsford: Like we said we don't have a design review ordinance and perhaps we should
have. I certainly would visit with the developer and see if he doesn't have some
architectural review on that in his covenants, because he is the same developer that
developed your subdivision.
Wasson: Do we have any idea Mr. Mayor what is going on further on down that property
Shari?
Stiles: We haven't seen any building plans or development plans at all come in yet. I did
talk to the developer of that Dominos today and told him people were concerned about the
aesthetics of it I guess it is in the eye of the beholder. Some people don't see that it
clashes with the adjacent buildings. What I have been telling people that have called me
since we don't have anything in our ordinance that can force them to at least just paint
most of it white or something and leave a band. I had asked some of those property
owners to get a petition together and present it to Dominos. The developer had indicated
that this was the same color and same design that is in Nampa and Caldwell. The location
may be more appropriate, another thing that is unfortunate about that when it was rezoned
to C-N the developer of your subdivision owned it, but once he sold that he lost any control
and didn't put any conditions on the sale and that is what happened.
Corrie: That might be a factor because everybody in that whole area doesn't like it that
means money to them. They are in the business to make money.
Carleton: (Inaudible) it looks better than what is over there.
Corrie: Like I say the dollar makes a big difference to those people and that whole section

out there rebels against them they won't be there very long.
Wasson: Thank you very much Mayor and Council.
Morrow: I have one final item, Wayne and I talked earlier this week about some guidance
from the Council with respect to the Impact Fee Ordinance stuff that he is reviewing. I
guess it is kind of show up time because my conversation with him was that it doesn't
make a lot of sense to construct up an ordinance if we don't have a sense of direction from
the Council whether we are going to do all of it, none of it or part of it. What I would like
to see happen is that we make a commitment whether we are going to do all of, part of it
or none of it.
Kingsford: Let's discuss that then Tuesday at our planning session and kick that around.
I think that is a good idea let's have a sense of direction. Let's don't bother paying the
money to frame it up if we are not going to run with it. And certainly if we don't then we all
owe Mr. Corrie and his crew. Mr. Yerrington?
Yerrington: Nothing
Kingsford: Mr. Corrie?
Corrie: Two things, Mr. Mayor, I have talked to the police chief and also the
Commissioner, Bill Strobaugh who is with the Goldwing Touring Association the
motorcycle group, they want to donate 50 to 150 teddy bears to the police department to
give to children in homes that are having problems. Chief said he would be happy to do
that and I think the Commissioner did too. They asked if they could drive their motorcycles
up East First Street slowly or whatever it is to show what they were doing and I talked to
the Chief and he said he didn't' think he had any problem with that as long as they stay
within the speed limit and only one traffic light. They talked about a parade and he
informed they needed to get a permit from Ada County and the City. So they would
probably just go up the street and then go onto their department. I thought that was pretty
nice that they would give it, he said they could do it with Boise but it is not big splash for
50 teddy bears to the police department there and this is some publicity for us. I have one
other thing, Mr. Mayor, I would like to, we had a meeting with the golf course people, Wally
and also the Presidents of the Mens Association and Womens Association yesterday.
They made a suggestion that we have a public meeting to allow the people to voice
concerns about the golf course and they all agreed that they would tell their people. So I
would request that if the Council so approved that we could have it on the agenda or a
special meeting or whatever the case may be. Have the City Clerk put it up and let the
people have their say and see if there are any more problems that we can get taken care
of at the golf course and get this nine holes put in. If you so agree
Meridian City Council
June 20, 1995
Page 41
Kingsford: I asked Bob to bring that up, he had said at that meeting that he thought it
would be a good idea to have a second meeting and I think it is important that we structure
the public notice in such a manner that it is positive rather than negative but that we want
the input with regard to the expansion of the golf course.
Morrow: Mr. Mayor what I would like to see with respect to that presentation is that I would
like to see that presentation done in such a manner that we have some very rough
schematics I would like to see the thing billed as a public hearing to review preliminary
designs and operation of the golf course. I think since we all have voted and agreed to
bring Patsy Fedrizzi on board with respect to additional fund raising that probably the
vehicle or method that we get this is that we have Patsy make the presentation of what it
is we plan to do and then invite public comment based on what it is we are doing and or
operation or current operation or changes in mode of operation for the golf course in the
future.
Kingsford: Well, I think along the lines more of an informational and input type of a
meeting. I think I would like to give just a little bit of history of where we are at and where
we hope to go and Patsy likewise and input of concerns accolades and where the public
feels we ought to be headed.
Morrow: I think I would like to, we have great experience here in this Council with dealing
with those issues with the presentation that ACHD has been making on the design of
roads and I would say that it makes sense to follow that same format. That format that
seems to work very well for them and I think that we can adapt that format to this issue.
The same thing as you are saying.
Kingsford: In an effort to not have this body meet forever and every night would it be the
pleasure of the Council to perhaps have that meeting at 6:30 Tuesday next at our strategic
planning session and follow at 7:30.
Corrie: If they can be prepared that quick and I don't know if they can or not.
Kingsford: Well I guess my concern about letting it go too far is we hope to have and there
may be snafoos put on that we hope to have a kick off and ground breaking on July 11 th
at the golf course. In visiting with Terry Sackman today a go/no go situation for the
newsletter for next month would be next Friday. Some of that input I think might be vital
to that along with some other things that I have some concerns about with the golf course
too. I guess, we are at a stage at least in my perception where we need to be moving
along at a fairly decent pace with that.
Corrie: The ground breaking now, do we have all the proper, are we in line?
Meridian City Council
June 20, 1995
Page 42
Kingsford: That is one of the problems.
Corrie: I am saying let's don't get too far in front of it but if we do this now then it is 2
months down the road we are going to get some more people coming in saying I didn't get
a chance it was too fast.
Kingsford: One of the parcels that we don't have and there are 2 we have before us there
is some negotiation that needs to take place and I think it is appropriate that members of
the Council that are interested, myself and the Attorney visit with Mr. Turnbull and Mr.
Smith being involved on that early next week for that deed. The other deed is not as much
concern to me I know that is going to happen I just have to strong arm him into doing it.
There is some concern as you have indicated about that one. But all of those I would kind
of like to put to bed so we have a go/no go for that meeting with Chamber of Commerce.
Corrie: You don't anticipate any problems with Dave Turnbull?
Kingsford: That is what I am saying, that is why I want to have a meeting.
Corrie: Weill suppose if everybody gets the word I have no problem with the timing I
guess. I just don't want this thing to start dragging out.
Kingsford: I sensed Bob and correct me if I am wrong that you were going to try and put
the bug on those people that at least have called you.
Corrie: Oh, absolutely.
Kingsford: And we publish our public notice and we maybe post that in the golf course as
well as the 3 places we normally post that to would be adequate.
Morrow: So 6:30 it is on Tuesday.
Kingsford: Weill am asking you?
Morrow: That is great for me.
Yerrington: I don't care I won't be here.
Corrie: Well, if they can get everything together and we feel the time.
Kingsford: Who are you saying they?
Meridian City Council
June 20, 1995
Page 43
Corrie: The president's of the golf course, they say they want to meet with their people I
don't know how often they have a meeting, if they have a meeting once a month how will
they make sure all these people (End of Tape)
Kingsford: The people that weren't there weren't represented last meeting, Le. the people
that had been in contact with you. I don't think there is any problem with the men's and
women's club, we can post that in the club house, the bulk of those people play regularly.
And word of mouth, I think you are going to see.
Corrie: I know that the 2 presidents wanted to notify their people and so if they can do that
within that time frame I have no problem. I guess the assumption is that we will do it
Tuesday then.
(Inaudible)
Crookston: The ladies association meets, if they do meet, they meet on this coming
Tuesday.
Kingsford: Well the men's association typically they don't meet but they have play on both
Thursday and Saturday. So if that were posted in the club house.
Corrie: We have no other legal requirements for this?
Kingsford: If you have a public meeting you have to post it at least 48 hours in advance
and in 3 public places. We typically do City Hall and the Library and the Post Office. I
think it would be very appropriate in this case to post it at the club house.
Crookston: I would say, I wouldn't not post at the 3 places that we regularly post.
Kingsford: Post those 3 places and, very definitely. Would you make up that public notice
and see that we get that posted I guess prior to Thursday if we could.
Crookston: So we are talking about 6:30?
Kingsford: 6:30 to 7:30 Tuesday next.
Crookston: The 27th?
Kingsford: That is true.
Crookston: I was just thinking, I have a ice skating deal that I am supposed to be at on the
Meridian City Council
June 20, 1995
Page 44
27th.
Corrie: Uh-oh, is that the ice thing,
Kingsford: Dedication and priorities you guys. The Council did designate the 4th Tuesday
again that is up to you guys,
Crookston: I just raise that because I (inaudible).
Kingsford: Certainly, that might conflict with the people that are going to be here
(inaudible) to some extent.
Crookston: You have no idea about that.
Kingsford: Might I said, I definitely have an idea that it might, don't tell me what I might.
Yerrington: Would it be possible to do it before a Council meeting of the 5th of next month
or is that too close to your ground breaking?
Kingsford: I guess the problem is it takes it by that time that I say hey we are not going to
have the ground breaking on the 11 th and have it in the Chamber newsletter.
Morrow: I think part of the deal here is that we press on, we have a problem we need to
get is solved, let's get on down the road and get it solved. I want to see us hit the
schedules as need be. So, Tuesday is the day, Tuesday is the day.
Crookston: I will just say this, it is not in any fashion should my schedule be of concern,
if that is when you have it I will work around it.
Kingsford: Well, we have made a lot tougher decisions can we come up with this one.
Morrow: As far as I am concerned it is Tuesday.
Kingsford: Max you are not going to be there, Bob you are vacillating, Ron what do you
want to do?
Tolsma: It doesn't make any difference to me.
Kingsford: Bob? Well, in so far as that goes here is the issue, we don't have to have a
quorum at that meeting, we don't make any decisions anyway. It is strategic planning, the
sewer department has a beautiful presentation to make, I certainly hope that you all or

most of you could be there,
(Inaudible)
Kingsford: Okay, Tuesday. Do you have anything else Bob? Ron? Thanks for all you
have done for us Anna, I appreciate that. I entertain the infamous motion.
Tolsma: I believe we need to give her a round of ovation for the chocolate chip cookies.
Kingsford: Is there a motion to adjourn?
Corrie: So moved
Yerrington: Second
Kingsford: Moved by Bob, second by Max to adjourn, all those in favor? Opposed?

CITY ENGINEER
SUBJECT: VARIANCE TO PLACE FENCE
Dear Gary:
please consider this as application from Ada County Highway
District to the Meridian City Council for permission to erect a six
foot (6') tall wood fence at the back of the concrete sidewalk
along the north side of Cherry Lane. The fence would be located
upon Public Right-of Way fronting the back lot lines of the
following residential property within the sunny Brook Farms No. 1
Subdivision:
1153 Haley Court
2575 Rebecca Way
2567 Rebecca Way
2561 Rebecca Way
2541 Rebecca Way
2511 Rebecca Way
The property Owners have entered into a lILicense Agreement" with
ACHD to place and maintain their fences upon the Public Right-of
way at the back of sidewalk.
ACHD has the responsibility co remove and replace the existing
property fences affected by the reconstruction activities along
Cherry Lane and in compliance with the terms of Easement Agreements
negotiated with the adjacent property owners. The fences were to
have been re-installed on the property lines behind the new
sidewalk construction. However, this would have placed the fences
approximately 3 to 5 feet behind the sidewalk on a embankment fill
slope.
The fence placement back of and below the sidewalk location would
have jeopardized the privacy of the residential back yards along
this stretch of Cherry Lane, In addition, the maintenance of a

strip of ground that will eventually be filled with weeds between
the sidewalk and fence is not desirable. Therefore the adjacent
property owners petitioned the District for License Agreements to
encroach upon the Public Right-of-Way by having their fences placed
at the top of the fill slope at the back of sidewalk.
As part of this application, the District also requests that
Article G.~.f and G.l.h to Meridian City Ordinance 9-807 be waived.
In advance, thank you for you cooperation in resolving this matter.
