Item 4: Department Reports
1. Planning and Zoning Department – Shari Stiles
A. Update on Preparation of Final Comprehensive
Plan / Resolution:
Corrie: Item 4 is Department Reports. Planning and Zoning Department, Shari Stiles,
update on preparation of final Comprehensive Plan and slash Resolution.
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, I just wanted to let you know where we were on the
Comprehensive Plan. We had hoped to have it up for a resolution tonight. We did get
the copy back from our consultant with changes made. However, there are additional
changes that need to be made, clean up typos, and problems with some of the layout of
the document. We will be meeting with them next week to make the final changes and
would like to ask if your meeting on the 30th, if we could have a special meeting prior to
the meeting that I guess you would have with the Planning and Zoning Commission on
the 30th, since it is the fifth Tuesday. Not going to have any?
Corrie: We already decided on the 2nd.
Stiles: Are you not going to have any meeting on Tuesday?
Corrie: No. We will have it -- the next meeting will be August the 6th.
Stiles: Is that when you -- you want to hold it off that long?
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 4 of 89
Corrie: It's up to the Council if they want to have a special meeting for that week, we
could do that.
Bird: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Shari, how long a meeting are we going to have? I don't want to hold it off any
longer than that.
Stiles: As far as I know it's a formality to adopt the -- what you have already approved
through the resolution. The attorney's office said they would like to have a complete final
document as it is going to be printed for -- from now on. So we just don't have that
available yet.
Bird: Could we have it the 23rd ahead of time, say 6:00 o'clock?
Stiles: We won't have it ready that soon. We are not meeting the --
Bird: The 3rd will be the soonest you could have it?
Stiles: To have it printed, because we are meeting around the middle -- either
Wednesday or Thursday next week with the consultant and then we will have to have it
printed.
Bird: Mr. Mayor, I have no problem with that, as long as everybody else --
Corrie: Okay. Who cannot be here?
Nary: I won't be here on the 30th. I mean I'd like to be here for it, but I mean I don't want
to wait until --
Bird: We need all of us to be here.
McCandless: It's on a Monday?
Corrie: No. On Tuesday. The fifth Tuesday. If we want all of us to be here, which I think
would be a very good idea, I -- and I'm like Keith, I would hate to put it off, but I think the
6th would have to be that.
Nary: Okay.
Bird: Can everybody be here?
Berg: Mr. Mayor and Members of the Council, if it's just a formality and that's what we
are talking about, you have a meeting that you have to attend on the 29th, that Monday,
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 5 of 89
at 8:30 at Compass on the North Meridian Planning Area, that maybe you could hold a
meeting either -- you could maybe hold it at 8:00 o'clock here on the formality of
approving a final draft; correct?
Bird: Mr. Nary I won't be here.
Nary: I won't be here. I mean I hate to wait, but I mean --
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: If the changes are not material, if they are just typographical and pictures, I
don't understand why we could not pass the resolution, unless the attorney needs to
have those typos fixed. Is that what's holding it up?
Nichols: Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council, what we wanted was the resolution to
have attached to it the plan that's adopted and so that in the city clerk's resolution file
that's the document that's attached to the resolution. Now just a typographical error
change, that's not a change of substance. If there are issues with regard to the layout,
that may be -- I mean it's however you want us to do it.
Corrie: Okay. I'll just make an executive decision here and go to the 6th of August and
we can all be here.
Stiles: Thank you.
Corrie: Okay. I will need a motion for that, Council, to table that until the 6th of August.
Bird: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I would move that we table the final Comprehensive Plan resolution until August 6,
2002.
McCandless: Second.
Corrie: Okay. Motion has been made and seconded. Any other discussion? All those in
favor of tabled to the 6th of August say aye. Opposed no. All ayes. Motion carried.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Item 5: (Items Moved from Consent Agenda)
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 6 of 89
E. Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law for Denial: CUP 02-011
Request for a Conditional Use Permit for a sports bar with pool tables and
Blumacs Sports Bar
big screen TV’s in an O-T zone for by Michael
McGuinness – 706 East First Street (N. Main Street):
Corrie: Item No. 5 is the items moved from the Consent Agenda. We will take up E first,
Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law for denial of a Conditional Use Permit for a
sports bar with pool tables and big screen TV in an O-T zone for Blumacs Sports Bar,
706 East First Street, North Main.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I had requested to have this item pulled. I simply wanted to bring before the
Council to delete on the Findings of Fact Item 7. What the Findings say is another
alcoholic beverage of this type in the Old Town area would not help foster a family
friendly atmosphere for the downtown area. I know that was part of our discussion and it
was a lot of our discussion. My only concern is in the Findings it says we don't really
have an ordinance that supports what that means, what family friendly means, and I
don't -- certainly don't want to give an opening to a district judge to find some reason to
overturn, plus there is plenty of other reasons in our findings to support that decision, so
I wanted to ask if we should simply delete No. 7 to tighten up the Findings a little bit to
make it so that it's less attachable, I guess, by another party.
Corrie: Okay. Any other discussion? Okay. If you want to make that a motion that we
can --
Nary: I would, therefore, then, move to approve the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of
Law with the amendment of the deletion of Item 7 of the findings for the denial of the
Blumacs Sports Bar.
Bird: Second.
Corrie: Okay. Motion has been made and seconded. Any further discussion? Hearing
none, roll-call vote, Mr. Berg.
Roll-call vote: McCandless, aye; Nary, aye; DeWeerd, aye; Bird, aye.
Corrie: All ayes. Motion is carried.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
J. Will Serve Letter – W. H. Moore property:
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 7 of 89
Corrie: The next item is Item J. This is a Will Serve letter by W. H. Moore property. Mrs.
de Weerd.
De Weerd: This, as well as I believe three other properties, were items that we
discussed that needed changing on our land use map for our new Comprehensive Plan.
We had adjusted that land use map to reflect the changes that have been discussed at
Council and then we added it back in with the impression that these needed to come in
front of us for application. In looking at some of this correspondence, it suggests that
two of these are being built with -- at Ada County without those applications. I just
wondered what is the process we want to follow with this and -- with changing our area
of impact. Do we want them to apply and do a Public Hearing there? Is the Public
Hearing satisfactory just at Ada County? Do we need to -- if we are going to meet on
this application, can we not clean up the rest of the properties with Yorgason, the one
south of the freeway -- I can't remember whose that is. And Cavin? You know, what is
the process we want to follow here?
Bird: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: This Will Serve is for property that's in our impact area, except for --
De Weerd: That one piece.
Bird: -- just one little piece up there and that's the -- and I am under the understanding
that these others have been -- and I don't know what -- I'm like you, Tammy, I don't
know what the procedure is to get these transferred from Meridian's impact area to
Boise -- from Boise to Meridian. This is strictly a letter that says when we get the sewer
to you that we will let you hook up to it and then once we get within annexation area,
you will annex. This don't have any -- this letter here don't have anything to say about
the other being between Boise's impact area and our impact area.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: I guess I just opened up the question of procedure and how we were to
going deal with the other ones. Also in this letter it suggests that because they have
agreed to annex as a condition of receiving city water and sewer, do they -- are we
asking them to annex first? Are we going to help them find an annexation route? Or are
we going to have the service out there without annexation and then we lose the
application fees, the right to inspect, and some of those issues that we had talked I think
over a year ago as those were major concerns. So this is the first we have really had an
opportunity to discuss it, so I just wanted to have these items on the table, so we can
follow a protocol for the other applications that could be coming if they are required to
apply.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 8 of 89
Bird: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: We have already -- the South Slough we have extended it out there and once we
get it out there I for one have no problem serving the property if they give us a letter of
intent to annex when it's available to annexation. We do get the use of the hook-up fees
and the monthly and I agree with you, we don't get the building fees and stuff like that,
but it helps pay for the -- by the hook-up fees and stuff it helps pay for us to get the
sewer and water out there. So I, for one, am in favor of signing these agreements. We
have already signed these with a couple of previous subdivisions that we have had to
run up lift stations and stuff to serve up north of that area. So I for one am in favor of
doing that and I was a year ago when we discussed it.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: As to the new annexation -- well, I don't know if it's necessary anyway, because
under the new annexation law once they do hook to the service we can annex it
anyway. So I don't know if we need to put -- just to make it more muddled, I had a
conversation with Don Hensley from Boise city public works department and he had
also offered that -- maybe to answer Councilwoman de Weerd's question that there
probably is -- does need to be some discussion with the public works staff or us and the
public works staff of Boise to maybe resolve some of those issues that are along the
borders between two cities, that serviceability and which should properly be in Boise's
impact area and which in Meridian and vice-versa and I haven't had a chance to tell
you, Gary, but he had mentioned that to me that that really made sense to him and I
said I'd bring it to you to address that at some point.
Smith: Thank you.
Corrie: Well, I think what we need to do is we have to have our Council approval,
Boise's council approval for the exchange of the area of impact and also the Ada
County Commissioners. So I was trying to set up a meeting the 22nd of this month
between the Ada County Commissioners, us, and Boise and make that change that we
want to do that for that property up at -- Yorgason's property and also for this property
and then if you wanted to do the north -- the northeast corner of Ustick and Eagle you
could do that, but I would imagine the time that this gets all done the annexation will
probably be there before they would even want to build anyway. We will have the sewer
and water available by that time as well. So we can service it, I'm just concerned that I
don't want to get into a match with United Water where they can and then they get it and
they are not going to relinquish that at all, so --
De Weerd: Does Shari have something?
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 9 of 89
Corrie: Are you waving at me, Shari?
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, there is a process they need to go through. Boise city
does it through a zoning ordinance amendment; Cavin has already submitted that
request to Boise city for the northeast corner of Ustick and Eagle. He's also submitted to
us a miscellaneous application for the impact area change on his property, so we are
running through public hearings on both sides and then would need to meet with Ada
county once that's an official action by the Council.
Corrie: So we would need a Public Hearing on Yorgason and also W. H. Moore's
request, Shari, or can we --
Stiles: That's what we are telling the applicants in order to be consistent at least with the
surrounding areas and I think they should go through a process with the Public Hearing
and not just make it a meeting where you sit down with them and make some decision
out of the public forum.
Bird: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: This has -- this letter has nothing to do with -- this letter has absolutely nothing to
do with whether it's in the Boise or Meridian impact. The biggest share of this land is in
the Meridian impact area. This is a letter to ask us to serve once we get the sewer and
water out there, which we will have out next year. That's all that is. The other process
we have to go through a different -- it's a different process altogether. This is a Will
Serve letter.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: So we have two different issues on the table right now. One is the Will Serve
letter, which I don't have an issue on, but I do agree with Councilman Nary that our
public works staff for Meridian and Boise should get together and find out who can best
serve these properties. That doesn't influence this one, but I do think that's necessary
before we meet with the county and the city of Boise, so we kind of have our ducks in a
row and on the second issue, we have four pieces of property that were affected on our
land use map, three of them that would be transferred over to Boise city's area of impact
and one which is Winston Moore's that would be transferred into the City of Meridian.
Those, as I understand it, need to go through an application process both from Boise
and Meridian and the county, so they will have three separate public hearings.
Stiles: I'm not aware that Ada county does a Public Hearing, but --
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 10 of 89
De Weerd: Okay. So they need a Public Hearing in Boise and one in Meridian. As long
as we are consistent and we ask that of all the applicants, then that's how we should
proceed, but I just wanted to be clear that we do have a process and that staff should
get together to discuss the advantages and make sure our staff and Boise staff are all
on the same page as well as to how those properties could best be served. Okay. Well,
with that I will move that we approve the Will Serve letter for the northwest corner of
Ustick and Eagle Road through Winston Moore's property and ask the Mayor to update
his letter and the date from July 12th to July 17th and send it out.
Bird: I second that, but I'd like to add one thing. We need an agreement with W. H.
Moore Company regarding annexation when it becomes available.
De Weerd: With the new law I don't think --
Corrie: I'm sorry. Mr. Nichols.
Nichols: Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council, just a couple things. One thing to
remember is what the law is today may not be the law at the same time next year.
Nary: That's true.
Nichols: And since we are providing service outside the city limits, we can condition that
service on agreement to annex when contiguous and if that agreement is made and
entered into and recorded, it binds the property and I think at that point, even if the law
changes, we still have an argument that any change in the law cannot interfere with the
terms of the contract. The contract would still be enforceable and annexation would still
apply.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: I would move to include that in my motion. Second agrees?
Bird: Second agrees. I believe that's the thing that we have out with those other two,
isn't it?
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor, I would also ask that staff works on finding that annexation route,
so maybe in the timing we can actually do the annex and service all at the same time
and I don't know what the hold ups are. I'm sure there is a couple of challenges out
there, but if we can assist the applicant and make sure that we do this all at the same
time, we'd sure clear up some problems. And I'm sure you're trying to do that anyway,
Gary.
Corrie: I will be happy to explain that. Okay. Anything else? Okay. Motion before the
Council. Any additions? Okay. Roll-call vote, Mr. Berg.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 11 of 89
Roll-call vote: McCandless, aye; Nary, aye; DeWeerd, aye; Bird, aye.
Corrie: Okay. All ayes. Motion is approved.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Item 6: Swear in two New Police Officers – Meridian Police Department:
Corrie: At this time we have the swearing in of two new police officers for the Meridian
Police Department and then followed by ICRMP awards for two other officers. So Chief.
Worley: Thank you, Mr. Mayor and Council. It's always a pleasure to bring on a couple
new officers and I'd like to have the two guys come up here right now and we will talk
about them just a little bit. First in the back here, Matt Shriver is originally from Texas,
but he spent most of his adult life in Idaho, graduated from Capital High School and
then went onto Boise State University as a criminal justice major, also spent six years in
the Marine Corps Reserve where he received the select Marine Corps reserve metal
and the Navy achievement metal. He, in August of 2001, completed his studies at Boise
State with a bachelor of criminal justice administration. Most recently he was working for
Sears, but he's now a member of the Boise -- or Meridian Police Department. Old habits
getting there, folks. Thirty-two years of saying that, you know it -- but we are very happy
to have Matt on board with Meridian. Brian Caldwell is originally from southern
California. After high school in Canoga Park started out to be a music teacher, was
enlisted in the Army National Guard in southern California as a combat engineer and
during the 1994 earthquakes his unit was activated to help with the crowd control and
that sort of thing with -- as a result of the earthquake. He spent some time working with
law enforcement agencies in the Los Angeles area and became hooked on law
enforcement as a career from that. Was accepted to Washington State University where
he changed his major to criminal justice and also did an internship with the Department
of Corrections and Probation and Parole in the Lewiston office and upon graduation he
was hired as a parole and probation officer in Lewiston where he's been employed up to
the time that he came to work for us and, again, we are very happy to have Brian on
board. So if I can ask the Mayor to come foreword and administer the oath. Oh, excuse
me, Mayor. One second. I forgot something. Let me give each one of you a chance to
introduce the people that you have here to support you. Matt.
Shriver: I brought my fiancee Mary and my stepfather Art, my mom Angela, and my
sister Joni.
Worley: Thank you. Welcome. Brian.
Caldwell: I have my father-in-law Michael Brand and his wife Betsy and my father-in-
law's sister Sheila, but my wife is still up in Lewiston trying to gain employment down
here, so --
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 12 of 89
Worley: Okay. Welcome to you, too. Thank you. Okay, Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Thank you, Chief.
(Officers sworn.)
Corrie: Congratulations.
Worley: Thank you very much. Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council, citizens of Meridian,
I'd like to present Police Officer Matt Shriver and Police Officer Brian Caldwell.
Item 7: Awards from ICRMP for two officers:
Worley: Mr. Mayor, if we can just move onto the next agenda item, I'd like Lieutenant
John Overton and Sergeant Wayne Fukes to come forward. These two gentlemen
recently attended a course put on by ICRMP that provides insurance coverage to most
municipalities for the state of Idaho and I'd like to ask the city clerk to come down and
make a presentation from that and explain a little bit of what this entails.
Berg: Thank you, Chief. It is my honor and privilege, because I am the risk manager for
the City of Meridian. ICRMP, our insurance carrier, provides a training program for risk
management and it isn't very often that they have police officers that attend this and go
through the whole course of personnel, contracts, policy, and loss control and liability
insurance. So it is important that not just one person in the city knows about all these
things, but quite a few, and our police department is a very high risk, exposed
department, not because of them, but because what they do. And so it is my honor to
present Wayne Fukes and John Overton and I want to read this certificate of
accomplishment. Presented to Wayne Fukes and John Overton who successfully
completed the ICRMP risk management program. This comprehensive training program
completed on May 2nd, 2002, is an in-depth study focusing upon the role of public entity
risk managers in Idaho. The program emphasizes human resource responsibility,
property and casualty insurance, loss control, claims handling, tort reform, Idaho State
statutes and contract insurance law. So it is an honor and I'm sure the chief really
appreciates you both completing this. Thank you.
Item 8: Introduction of Cindy Hill – Meridian Police Department:
Worley: Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council, the next agenda item was an introduction
of a new employee to the Meridian Police Department. I don't see her here tonight, but
let me just talk just a little bit about her. We have been in the process for about the last
year of hiring an evidence technician. As the Council is aware and for the citizens'
information, one of the things that we have tried to do in the past year is turn over some
jobs which have been being performed by police officers, but can be performed by non-
sworn personnel, turn those over to those non-sworn people to put police officers back
out on the street where they are providing direct service to the public. We have been in
the process for about the last year of attempting to hire an evidence technician. It's a
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 13 of 89
fairly specialized area even from the technician standpoint in that this cataloging and
keeping track of all the evidence that comes into a police department can be a daunting
task, because of court rules every piece of evidence that comes in, every movement of
it has to be tracked, everybody who touches it, has any contact with it, that has to be
logged and tracked for what we call the chain of custody. So it is a somewhat complex
process. In the process of one not completely successful attempt to bring some people
on board and find a candidate, we wound up re-advertising and going with a full-time
position and that gave us some benefits to look at some people who weren't necessarily
interested in the original part-time position. During this process we also became aware
that some other cities in the area had used some of their evidence people, not only in
the cataloging of evidence, but also as crime scene investigators, to actually go out and
process crime scenes, something that is, again, very often done by police officers, but
doesn't have to be. And in this process we were very fortunate to have apply and to
select Cindy Hill. Cindy has been in the area of criminal forensics for a little over 15
years. She at one time was the lead technician for the Boise city lab and most recently
was working for the state of Idaho. She will be starting next week and Cindy, in addition
to knowing quite a bit about the process of chain of custody, is arguably one of the best,
if not the best fingerprint forensics people in the state of Idaho. She -- at the budget
presentation this morning we showed a little video clip of her work being featured on the
Discovery Channel's New Detectives show for her work in a fingerprint comparison that
led to the murder conviction of Ben Cusmachev for killing his wife about five years. So
with that I just wanted to bring that to the Council's and city's attention that we are very
fortunate to get the caliber of people that we are getting now in the Meridian Police
Department. Thank you, Mayor and Council.
Item 9: Tabled from July 2, 2002: Discussion of water and sewer latecomer
agreements with Sundance Company for Silverstone Subdivision
project:
Corrie: Thank you, Chief. Okay. The next is Item No. 9, which is tabled from the July
2nd, 2002, meeting to discuss the water and sewer latecomer agreements with
Sundance Company for Silverstone Subdivision project. Brad, do you want to kind of
give us a rundown here and what we have on that.
Watson: Thank you, Mayor and Council Members. As you recall from two weeks ago, I
had sent a memo to you listing five issues that needed some guidance from Council. I
think we only good through about one and a half of those that night. The first one that
we seemed to talk about at length was the eligible cost on the water and sewer
latecomer request from Sundance Company. I did request in writing from them a more
detailed explanation of what a couple of those costs were and they responded also in
writing. I put a copy of that correspondence in your box this afternoon. It's not on your
computer, if that's what you're looking for. Essentially, the discussion revolves around
their claims for a construction manager and general conditions. Sundance's
correspondence lists what they include in the general conditions and construction
manager categories. Do you have that in front of you or do I need to run through that?
Meridian City Council Meeting

Corrie: That's the one I got this afternoon?
Watson: Yes.
Corrie: Yes. I have it. Does everybody else? Yeah.
Watson: Again, my question originally was whether those should be included in eligible
reimbursement costs. The only reason it came up is we have never done that before.
Most of the projects that we have done in the past were not of the magnitude of this
one. It appears from looking at this correspondence that -- from what I could tell, those
items are all needed during the course of a sewer and water construction project. Are
there any other questions or things I can clarify on that first issue?
Corrie: Any questions from the Council? Okay. Doesn't seem to be right now. Is it your
recommendation that we stay the way we have been doing it before, Brad? Or you want
to discuss this a little more later?
Watson: Well -- and I guess I should have a recommendation and all I can say is these
are the things that ordinarily would be included in a construction project of this
magnitude. The ordinance, if I can refer back to the ordinance, which I'm not sure if you
have the packet from two weeks ago, the only issue is the interpretation of the
ordinance and whether I'm getting sideways with that if I include it in the reimbursement
agreement.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: You know, Brad, I guess my recollection of the discussion and looking at the
ordinance, I mean I don't think what they are requesting is adverse to what the
ordinance says. I think it is just an interpretation issue. I guess my thought from two
weeks ago was I think what either you or Gary or maybe both of you said, it's just
something that's never actually been addressed before, it hasn't been brought up by
someone else, so it isn't that we are changing -- I think our concern always is are they
consistent with everybody and this is just something that we have never asked to be
reimbursed for before. I don't see any reason that -- at least in part of the discussion,
maybe at the end of the day in your discussions with them or while we are getting this
agreement hammered out, you're able to work out some of these issues, but I don't
think it's adverse to this, at least my reading of this -- or I don't think you would be
adverse in including it. I recognize what your testimony was the last time and what your
statement was, is that what your concern was, again, sending that back to the other
people that have to hook onto that, but if it's justified and you can show and they show it
to you that it's reasonable in light of the nature of the project, I think that's what you
would tell anybody else that has to sign a latecomers agreement, that was what the cost
of the project was, this is reasonable, it's in line with our ordinance, we agreed to it, you

want to hook onto the line, that's the way it is. You got to have water, that's the way it
goes. I will pay for it. So I guess that would be my view.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: How many other properties were going to be affected by this or participating
in it?
Watson: Council Member de Weerd, Mayor and Council Members, there are -- it
depends on what you look at, the sewer or the water, because they have different
service areas. There are dozens of property owners.
De Weerd: And have any of them developed or in the process of developing?
Watson: There are two projects in the process of developing, Sutherland Farms and El
Dorado.
De Weerd: Okay. And these property owners are being kept in the loop of this process
and what's being recommended and that sort of thing, so this won't be a surprise to
them as well?
Watson: Council Member de Weerd, Mayor and Council, one of the property owners is
very aware of what's going on and has, in fact, from what I understand, reached a side
agreement with the Sundance Company. But ordinarily in the course of preparing a
latecomer, because there are dozens and dozens of properties, we do not coordinate
with them or we don't contact them and tell them this is what we are working on, come
in and look at it if you want. There is no Public Hearing notice requirement, so no. I think
the second property owner is probably aware that there is a latecomer fee that will be
charged, because they couldn't even begin to develop a project until the sewer was
constructed, but as to participating and review of that, they haven't.
De Weerd: Can those property owners participate at this point so that helps minimize
any cost affected by this agreement would be?
Watson: I suppose that they can. My attitude on that is that because there are normally
dozens and dozens of property owners, if we select -- are selective in who we choose to
contact and involve in the process, then those that are never contacted -- it's just a
consistency thing.
De Weerd: Right.
Watson: If there was a Public Hearing notice requirement, then it would make it easier, I
guess.
Meridian City Council Meeting

Bird: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I believe that when we discussed this before, that the agreement had all already
been agreed upon by one of the -- by the second developer in or had looked it over and
was agreeable to that. If I remember, that was the letter we received, Brad, if I
remember right.
Watson: Council Member Bird, Mayor and Council Members, there was a letter from an
adjacent developer who I agreed -- who I believe agreed, at least in principle, to being
subject to the latecomer fee and what I have in front of me doesn't list a specific
amount. Maybe I don't have the right one.
Bird: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I think this return letter here and -- in fact, I agree with you, Brad, I think -- you
know, you definitely did what we had asked you to go back and get, if there was a cost
and make sure it wasn't marked up, but I'm like Councilman Nary, that this is something
we probably haven't done, but I don't think that our ordinance tells us exactly -- it's so
clear that it tells us that it can't be done this way and I understand where the developer
is coming from, I mean he is out this money and I think he's entitled to return on his
money, he put the money up to get the sewer out there.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I'm no engineer or anything, but it appears to me that, really, the burden isn't on
you, other than your department ends up being the first line people to deal with it, but
the agreement has to be approved by us. The next person in who wants to dispute
whether or not that was reasonable -- and I think what we would be relying on is what
you're going to tell us, like in this issue about the construction manager, that's a
reasonable cost for construction. We have built this, that's what it cost us to do it, we
would have had to hire somebody, maybe we would have got a couple more low bids,
because we are the city, but this is reasonable in light of the market of what you can do
or what it would cost to build that project if we would have done it or they did it. Now
they as asking to be reimbursed for it. The next person that comes in and says I don't
want to pay that, they can come and talk to us and we can say, look, we already made
that decision when we agreed to that latecomers, those people put that line in
essentially for us, rather than us forking out the money for it they did, we agreed it was
reasonable, you want to be hooked to our water and sewer, that's the price you have to
pay. Period. And then, really, this isn't -- although, like I said, I know you folks get the
first call, but ultimately it's us. So, you know, we have to approve whatever the final
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 17 of 89
agreement is. If you can't come to an agreement, I guess if that eventually comes to an
impasse of some sort with Sundance, I guess you bring it back here and you make your
pitch and they can make theirs and we decide this is what we are going to do. But I
think that's probably the easiest way to go forward is really it's our ultimate call in
approving it and our ultimate call in telling the next party, tough luck, Charlie, pay it or
you can't do it, if that's what you want, you have to pay the price.
Corrie: Okay.
Watson: Unless there are more, I will prepare an agreement that includes these costs
and bring it back.
Corrie: Thank you. Agree, Council?
Bird: I agree.
Corrie: All right. You have got your marching orders. Do you want to --
Watson: That's fine. There are four other issues.
Corrie: Oh, I'm sorry. There are. I'm sorry.
Watson: I wish that was --
Corrie: I'm sorry. I did take all four at one time. So go ahead.
Watson: The second one is interest costs -- the construction loan interest cost from the
time that was initiated through September 1st of this year projecting out. Again, the
question on my part is whether this is allowed under the ordinance of a sewer
ordinance, I think it's item number three, a reimbursement agreement may provide for
interest to be paid to the sewer user. As I summarized two weeks ago, ordinarily this
has been interpreted to mean that the latecomer fee per ERU is increased each year
October 1st, according to either the prime rate or some other agreed upon percentage.
Sundance's interpretation of this is that the construction loan interest cost are eligible.
Bird: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Brad, if we were to have to borrow money to put in a sewer and we don't get it
free, it's interest on the project, that's part of the cost of the project, isn't it?
Watson: Councilman Bird, I would certainly consider it a project cost. That's not a
question on my part, it's just whether the ordinance allows us to do that and if it does
allow us to do that, then I'm going to apply it consistently to every other agreement that
comes after this.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 18 of 89
Bird: Mr. Nichols has --
Corrie: Mr. Nichols.
Nichols: Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council, it's my opinion it was referred to in the
ordinance as interest after the latecomer agreement is entered into, because the
agreement is potential up to a ten year agreement and the previous interest issues in
the other agreements are so that the present dollar cost with some interest factor down
the road to someone that hooks up in the year nine pays present value plus interest.
That does not mean that the interest cost isn't a reimbursable cost, just I would read this
portion of the ordinance as saying that's interest on top of whatever number you arrive
at, however you arrive at it. That would be my interpretation of the ordinance. So, again,
the ordinance doesn't say you can't include interest cost, they approve the cost,
approve that part of their expansion of the system, then if the Council chooses to, it can
be included. It could be that no one's asked before.
Watson: Unless I hear otherwise, I'll go ahead and include this as an eligible
reimbursement cost. Okay.
De Weerd: Is that correct, Brad? They are only asking for the interest during
construction only or is it interest from the time they start construction until the end of the
ten years that you're allowed to collect or --
Watson: Council Member de Weerd, Mayor and Council, it's both. They include the
interest on their construction loan as their starting principal, plus each year that per ERU
would escalate.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I guess the only issue I would have -- and I think I agree more with Mr. Nichols,
but one of the things the provision says they can't be reimbursed more than a hundred
percent of what it cost them. The interest is something else and I think Mr. Nichols'
interpretation is probably the most conservative and yet it still benefits the builder to a
degree and may not -- maybe not necessarily as much as Silverstone wanted, but it is
benefiting them. If they build it today and you don't hook up for eight years, you still
have to pay whatever that fee we determined it would cost to hook up, plus the interest
for the eight years you didn't hook up, because you weren't a part of it. Isn't that what
you said? Is that right?
Nichols: Councilman Nary, Mayor and Members of the Council, my view is if you choose
you can take the interest cost through the end of construction, include it as a
reimbursable cost, and then on top of that have a reasonable rate of interest, so that
down the road someone who pays is on the same footing -- in other words, he gets
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 19 of 89
back his cost, because if they were to build today and hook up today, he would be made
whole today and if he waited until year eight, then there is some interest -- forgone
interest on that reimbursement, because he didn't have it to invest or do something else
with it.
Nary: That's what I just -- okay.
Watson: I think I understand. Proceed that way. The third item is the administration cost
provided for in the ordinance. It provides for a ten percent administrative fee to be
retained by the city for handling the latecomer agreement over the ten-year period.
Traditionally, it has been taken out of the principal. In other words, on a 500,000 dollar
latecomer agreement, if that was all paid back in the year one, the city would retain
50,000 dollars of it, the develop would get 450,000. That's the way it's been done on
every agreement that we have so far. Sundance's interpretation is that we calculate the
fee based on 550,000 dollars, they are made whole, they get back their entire principal,
the city tacks on ten percent to each latecomer. Again, I think this is an interpretation
thing and whatever we decide to do on this one is what I'll end up doing on all of them.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Although we haven't done it that way, I certainly think you can read the ordinance
to say that. It doesn't really tell us that it can't be an additional cost passed on, because,
otherwise, we are asking the builder to build something to the city's benefit, wait
potentially ten years to get all your money back, and at the end you're still out ten
percent, plus whatever cost -- I mean part of this is to serve their property, so part of it
they have to pay for. So I understand where they are coming from and I don't see any --
I don't think there is anything wrong with doing it that way.
Bird: I don't either.
Watson: Okay. Okay. Should I move on or --
Nary: Yes.
Watson: Okay.
Nichols: Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council?
Corrie: Mr. Nichols.
Nichols: Just a point for future reference. If you're going to add this fee on top, it would
be my recommendation that we change the ordinance and come up with some kind of a
fee that the departments calculate out that they incur as they collect these fees,
because when we take it out of the reimbursement, that's part of our contract and so
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 20 of 89
that's part of the agreement with the developer that they have made an agreed to live
with that. When we impose the fee upon somebody that's hooking up, we need to make
sure that it's not a tax and is actually a fee that has a relationship to the actual services
that's being provided.
Nary: I think that's great. That's a great rational that makes sense and that's fair to
everybody. Thank you.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: How soon could that be done? Because we have at least two properties that
are in the process of being in that situation as a latecomers fee. Will we be able to
collect a ten percent administrative fee without that new language?
Nichols: Councilwoman de Weerd, Mayor, Members of the Council, the ordinance
simply says the city may charge and may receive. It doesn't say that we have to. So as
far as these that are ready to hook up now and pay now and there may not be actually
that much to the administrative expense, but the departments that have to do this, the
finance department, can certainly give some kind of a cost figure of how much time is
spent doing this and based upon a reasonable reimbursement fee we could factor it in
per ERU and have it assessed that way. As far as changing the ordinance, it wouldn't
take too much to change the ordinance, we just simply take this provision, delete
sentence four, or change part of it to say may receive an administrative fee to be set by
resolution of the Council.
De Weerd: Is this also something we could put in the development agreement that has
not come through yet?
Watson: Yes.
De Weerd: It sounds like, Brad, you have some quick work to be done. Okay.
Watson: The next -- the fourth issue is the water latecomer fee. The only reason I'm
bringing this to you is that the cost for this water line extension was very high when you
compare it to the service area, which is relatively small. If you'll look at table three, it's a
couple -- well, do you all have the information from two weeks ago? Table three in there
it shows the water latecomer fee at different -- under different scenarios. I think what we
are looking at now, since we have gotten through the first three issues, is the bottom
right figure of 1,162 dollars per ERU. This is an extremely high latecomer fee per ERU.
I'm not sure that I have a question or even a recommendation on this one. I guess I just
want you to be aware that when and if an agreement came before you, and Sundance
is saying it is really high -- normally they are in the two to three hundred dollar range.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 21 of 89
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: Brad, perhaps we can revisit this after you have had time to kind of look at it
further, because this needs to be solved with the latecomers on the sewer or can this be
done separately?
Watson: This is the water latecomer agreement. The first three I think is enough to get
their sewer latecomer agreement signed by --
De Weerd: Well, we can visit this when you have a recommendation.
Watson: The fifth one -- the fifth issue has to do with the well site and, again, trying to
wrap this into a latecomers agreement is very difficult. We have never put a well into a
latecomers agreement. What they are asking for is reimbursement of the area that we
are using for our pump house and this is turning out to be kind of like sewer easements,
we never used to have to pay for one, but evidently we are in an era when we do that.
They are quoting us a discounted price of five dollars per square foot on 20,840 square
feet, for a total land price of 104,240 dollars. If I put this into the water latecomers
agreement it's going to escalate up to the point of adding 17,000 dollars or so to every
house they build in that area.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: Brad, what was in the development agreement? Usually well sites are
addressed in that. Were they not required to provide that?
Watson: Council Member de Weerd, Mayor and Council Members, I don't know that
they were required to provide it. Way back in the conceptual stages of this project I think
we agreed in principle or in concept at the time that we would try to wrap this land cost
into a latecomer's agreement, not knowing what the discounted price would be once we
got it. Once we tried to push that into a latecomers agreement, like I said, it just
becomes huge. Some of the options are spreading it out over a somewhat ill-defined
service area and the reason I say that is a well doesn't have a -- doesn't have a
boundary on it. It serves all over the place, depending on which wells are on. If we
brought something like that to you, it would be different than anything you have seen
before, but maybe Mr. Nichols needs to speak to this -- but somewhat -- because of
these boundary lines on a latecomer agreement. We can do a lot of things. The long
and short of it is they want something in writing that guarantees that they are going to
get paid back for this land.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary:
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 22 of 89
Nary: What I did hear you say, Brad, is we didn't require that they provide this well site
to provide water for their own property as a condition of approval? Like we would -- isn't
that normally the course for most of a residential subdivision and the like, that we have
well houses on --
Watson: Council Member Nary, Mayor and Council Members, I think it was required that
they provide that. What I don't know for sure is in the development agreement, was -- at
what compensation or -- if any. Normally, I think the developers of residential subs
where most of our wells are just donate it. I guess kind of a related question is if you do
do something that makes this a formal agreement, are appraisals needed? Do we need
to do something in order to execute such a document or agreement? I'd hate to work
something out, get it all the way to you, and then at the last minute be told that I should
have gotten an appraisal and I could have taken care of this outside the Council
meeting. The last few days it's been kind of hectic.
Bird: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Brad, this five dollars a square foot, is it -- what -- like a Touchmark or areas like
that or what have we been paying for it?
Watson: Council Member Bird, Mayor and Council Members, like I said earlier, we
haven't paid for a well site up to this point. We are in negotiations with the Touchmark
people to purchase that well site, too.
Bird: Is this in line with what they are asking?
Watson: Gary says that they are asking for eight, but that is an existing well, the hole
was already in the ground, so I guess there is some value in that. It sounds like from the
discussion maybe I need to bring two, three, four specific proposals to you.
De Weerd: Yes.
Watson: A menu that you can select from and I will look at number four as well. I think I
have got enough direction on the first three to at least get started on the sewer
latecomer agreement fairly quickly.
Corrie: Okay.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 23 of 89
De Weerd: I guess to bring something back, would Silverstone be subject to the well lot
portion of the latecomer's fee as well or are they asking to be excluded from that when
you start figuring total cost?
Watson: If we brought a water latecomer well land latecomer agreement to you, it would
have to have some benefit area, some service area. What I would probably do is take
Silverstone's proportionate share out and then divide the remaining cost over that
benefit area. So the short answer is, no, they wouldn't be, but they wouldn't be getting a
full whatever it was, 105,000 dollars back either, because their proportionate share
would be taken out of the reimbursable amount.
De Weerd: Okay.
Corrie: Okay. Brad.
Watson: Thank you very much.

Item 14: FP 02-012:
Request for Final Plat approval of 35 building lots and 7 other
Berkeley Square Subdivision
lots on 4.67 acres in an R-8 zone for by
Wardle and Associates -- 1025 North Ten Mile Road:
Corrie: Item No. 14 is a request for final plat approval of 35 building lots and 7 other lots
on 4.67 acres in an R-8 zone for Berkeley Square Subdivision by Wardle and
Associates, 1025 North Ten Mile Road. Staff comments.
Shari: Mr. Mayor and Council, we have made our comments on this application. The
applicant has expressed opposition to one condition, that would be Site Specific
Condition No. 11 in regard to the pressurized irrigation well development fee. They are
proposing a reduced fee due to the fact that the lots are smaller than the typical 8,000
square foot lot. They are asking for a reduction from 730 dollars per lot to 124 dollars
per lot. They are also basing their calculation on the irrigable land on the lots on a
proposal that the setback between buildings be completely gravel, so that would mean
the five feet that is adjacent to the building on each building would be gravel, no
landscaping within that area. I will let the Public Works Department address whether
they agree with the reduced fee.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 28 of 89
Watson: Mayor and Council Members, I have met with the applicant and I think we have
come to an agreement on what an appropriate reduced well development fee per lot
should be. I think. We are okay. Is there any questions?
Corrie: You're okay with what they are suggesting?
Watson: Yes.
Corrie: Is what you're saying?
Watson: Yes. It's a 20 percent reduction -- or it's 80 percent down to 20 percent
reduction of the standard R-4 8,000 square foot home.
Corrie: Okay.
De Weerd: So you're okay with 124 dollars?
Watson: It works out to -- there are a couple other arithmetic things that are not quite
right in the staff comments. It works out to 150 dollars per lot.
Corrie: Anything else? Representative Wardle?
Wardle; Mr. Mayor, Council Members, my name is John Wardle. My address 50
Broadway Avenue in Boise. As Mr. Watson stated, the fee we have worked out with
them is 150 dollars per lot, so we agree with that as well and I will stand for any
questions if you have any. That was the only issue we had with the conditions that were
in the staff report.
Corrie: Okay. Any questions from Council? All right.
Wardle: Thank you.
Corrie: Okay. Any further discussion? If not, I'll entertain a motion on the request for
final plat and the staff comments.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: I move that we approve the request for final plat of 35 building lots and 7
other lots on 4.67 acres for the proposed R-8 zone of Berkeley Square Subdivision, to
include all staff comments with the reduced well development fee to 150 per lot and ask
the attorney to draw up Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and Decision of Order.

Item 15:FP 02-013:
Request for Final Plat approval of27 building lots and one
Vienna Woods Subdivision
other lot on 10.29 acres in an R-4 zone for
No. 6
by Skyline Development Company – east of North Locust Grove
Road, north of East McMillan Road:
Corrie: Item No. 15 is a request for final plat approval of 27 building lots and one other
lot on 10.29 acres in an R-4 zone for Vienna Woods Subdivision No. 6 by Skyline
Development Company, east of North Locust Grove Road and north of East McMillan
Road. Staff?
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, this is another phase of Vienna Woods that has been
developed in Ada County per our agreement with the Ada County Commissioners in
negotiating our area of impact. Planning and Zoning takes no issues with this project,
but asks that all of the staff comments -- that they comply with all staff comments on this
project.
Corrie: Is the applicant for Vienna Woods here? Name and address for the record.
Johnson: Mr. Mayor and Council, Tucker Johnson, Skyline Development, 10464 Gabriel
Court. Generally concur with the staff report. Just a couple housecleaning items that I
noticed once I was able to get the packet earlier today. As with the previous phases,
item one, need to insert the word applicable city ordinances. This is a county
subdivision, so not all city ordinances have jurisdiction in terms of, you know, how to
measure a lot width and things like that, but for the most part it won't affect anything
substantial. The final plat as you saw it and viewed it is exactly how we are building it.
Actually, in this case we actually deleted one lot, so we are actually loosening the
density at little bit. Item three, paragraph three, it talks about needing building permits.
Technically building -- you don't issue building permits, you issue the sewer and water
fees. So my recommendation there would be that the word building permits -- prior to
any water or sewer fees being accepted. That's how we worked it out with the Public
Works in terms of those issues. Those are current when the sewer and water fees are
paid to the city and that's what we talked about with the city, the department will not
accept those applications for sewer and water hook-up until X, Y and Z and then
requiring us to put it in. Item five of No. 2 -- this is my last comment. Strike the words
minimum square footage. That sounds -- it's a county subdivision and the county zoning
ordinance is the applicable ordinance and has per the previous phases, to be
consistent, that would be stricken as well from these comments. So it's pretty cut and
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 30 of 89
tried, pretty straight forward in terms of -- it's the sixth time around, so it's not real rocket
science, but those are the extent my comments or questions and I'll stand for any
questions if you have any.
Corrie: Council, any questions?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Mr. Bird. Okay. Thank you.
Bird: Thank you.
Johnson: Thank you.
Corrie: Okay. I will entertain a motion for the request for final plat on the Vienna Woods
Subdivision.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: I move that we approve the request for final plat approval for 27 building lots
and one other lot on 10.28 acres in an R-4 zone for Vienna Woods Subdivision No. 6, to
include the changes in number one, to insert the word applicable where needed;
number three, to replace building permits with water and sewer fees, and, number five,
to delete item number -- or item two and ask the attorney to draw up Findings of Facts
and Conclusions of Law and Decision of Order.
McCandless: Second.
Corrie: Okay. Motion has been made and seconded to approve the request for final plat
for Vienna Woods Subdivision No. 6 with those changes. Further discussion? Hearing
none, roll-call vote, Mr. Berg.
Roll-call vote: McCandless, aye; Nary, aye; DeWeerd, aye; Bird, aye.

Page 31 of 89
Corporation, west side of North Locust Grove Road, south of East McMillan Road. Staff
comments.
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, you have the staff comments that are dated July 11th,
2002. We received this afternoon some comments from the applicant's representative
opposing some of the comments. I'll go through those -- each one of those items. Site
Specific Condition No. 6, the site specific condition does read correctly as worded. The
preliminary plat did show a 20 foot wide alleyway. There was a twelve foot wide paved
area shown for the alley, with a four foot wide gravel area shown in the street section for
the alleys on each side of the paving that would have been the -- that would have
equaled the 20 feet. We were trying to follow what was approved at the preliminary plat
stage and with some experience we had on previous applications in final plats, we were
sticking to make sure that the plat does conform with the approved preliminary plat. So
that would be up to Council whether they want to delete that requirement to stick to
what was approved with the preliminary plat, which was a twelve foot pavement with
four foot gravel on each side. It probably doesn't make a specific difference to the fire
department, as they can reach it from the streets. They would be able to reach it with
the streets. They wouldn't have more than 150 feet. They were concerned -- I talked
with Joe Silva this afternoon and he was concerned with the fact that a lot of fires could
be started in the back towards the alley with the garages in the back, but there is not a
fire code ordinance that would require those to be in keeping with the 20 foot wide
alleyway. We have not heard from Sanitary Service Company. We tried to get with them
this afternoon to see if they would have any problems with -- I think the main concern
they had was with the recycling trucks. So if that's deleted we would like that to be
specifically acted on by the Council how that should read. Site Specific No. 7, the -- I'm
not sure where the three lots came from. The preliminary plat, Block 24, did reflect 22
lots initially. They have shown three lots at the end with a slightly different orientation.
One of those lots was partially outside of the current phase line and as long as we can
keep track of what that is and what's deleted and there is no net increase, we will -- as
long as the changes don't get to the point where we are not able to track them and
when the application was submitted it said it would conform with the preliminary plat and
our condition stands as it reads, unless modified by the Council. The first one is not
considered significant if that remaining lot outside of the phase or the remaining portion
of the lot is not added somewhere else. Site Specific Condition No. 8 on Block 11, there
was a lot added after the approval of the preliminary plat. Had the applicant's
representative merely talked to the staff and explained what was going on prior to
submitting their application we probably could have worked that out, but it was
submitted indicating conformance with the preliminary plat and, in fact, it was not. They
have indicated that they will be removing a lot on the southern boundary in a future
phase. Site Specific No. 12 we had no issue with. We would like to add in the second
sentence -- they are proposing to add that the said plan shall be implemented per staff
approval prior to the issuance of any building permit, to add per staff approval between
the implemented and prior. Site Specific Condition No. 13, the planting landscaping
plan, it was staff's understanding at the -- during the preliminary plat that due to the fact
that there was -- it was an unknown when the frontage on Locust Grove would be
developed as far as the office uses and the exception area, that that frontage would be
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 32 of 89
landscaped at this time and also that the landscape plan would be submitted to show
that landscape plan. It may be years and we don't know that at this point how long it will
be before that develops, but we would like to have the landscaping constructed along
Locust Grove in accordance with city ordinance, even though it is a -- it's an off-site
improvement for this phase, we believe that the requirement was intended to mean that
they landscape it prior to any lot within the preliminary plat subdivision that was
approved and we would like that requirement to remain, so we would not recommend
approval of the request on Site Specific Condition No. 13. The applicant's representative
under that same item has indicated that he wanted to add in the event of weather
restrictions the applicant shall be allowed to bond for all the required common area
improvements, including landscaping, the community center, and gazebo prior to final
occupancy of any unit. In any case, improvements shall be made as weather permits.
This is not something that we had typically allowed to be done after occupancy and I
believe the development agreement that we typically enter into does state that all
improvements will be completed prior to occupancy and that would include the
community center and gazebo. We naturally had to make some concessions on
landscaping if you're in the middle of winter and it's obvious that you can't plant or even
in the hot weather in the summer there is times when it will severely stress the
plantings, then we have allowed them to have a reprieve on getting those planted until it
was prudent. So I'd like to -- for the Council to be able to address that, specifically the
Locust Grove landscaping and the common area improvements, which would include
the community center and the gazebo. Site Specific Condition No. 18 was simply a
clarification that would show the net density as 5.83 dwelling units per acre. General
Requirement No. 3 on the lighting, they want the ability to install some street light
fixtures. I think that the requirement can stand as is, because they will -- if they propose
alternative streetlights, they will take an agreement with the city at a later date, that they
-- the Council will be asked to approve alternative streetlights. General Requirement No.
9, four foot sidewalks. We did show the separated detached sidewalk to be four foot
wide sidewalks per our ordinance and per the Conditional Use Permit. We would still
ask if there are pathways in common areas going through pedestrian walkways, those
types of things between common areas, that they be built at the five foot wide
construction. Fire Department Requirement No. 7 regarding on-street parking, they
have asked that Requirement No. 7 be deleted and I believe with the Council's approval
of the preliminary plat, they did delete the fire department's requirement to have
restrictive parking on one side. The fire department does request that the alleys be
posted to -- that they have no parking and be shown as a fire lane. If they are to be two
way alleys, they would like that to be on each end of the alley or if it's one way, they
could be just on one end of the alley. With that we would ask Council to act on the
requested changes and to otherwise approve it with staff and agency conditions.
Corrie: Any questions of staff?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Okay. The developer?
Meridian City Council Meeting

Page 33 of 89
Wardle: Good evening. For the record, John Wardle with Brighton Corporation, 12426
West Explorer Drive in Boise. If you will indulge me just for a second so I can pass out
some things. I appreciate staff's comments and I think I can limit my points just to a
couple of issues here. On Site Specific Condition No. 6 we have always intended to go
with twelve foot alleyways and the question is whether the right of way width needed to
be 16 feet or 20 feet. On another project being built the highway district required us to
do 20 feet. They since changed or have maybe interpreted their standard a little bit
different. Their requirement is 16 feet. So we have assumed the additional footage in
the lot. I think it's pretty straight forward. We are just asking ACHD's standard, which is
16 feet for the 12 foot alley to be accepted. I gave to you a couple of loose sheets --
there is actually three of them. This relates to Site Specific Condition No. 7 and Site
Specific Condition No. 8. In front of you there is what the final plat looks like today and
what it looked like with the preliminary plat. In Site Specific Condition No. 7 we simply
re-oriented a couple of lots, so we did end up with a little area back there which is kind
of a no-man's land. These lots front out on one road, instead of two facing that way and
one this way. So we re-oriented that. We don't see that as a significant change. It
doesn't increase the density, it's just simply a re-orientation of those two lots. On Site
Specific Condition No. 8, specifically Block 11, the final plat, which is Block 17 in the
final plat, we did add a lot here and this -- I did discuss this with the staff verbally before
it was submitted. I did submit a letter to staff clarifying what we had done here, as well
as the subsequent e-mail and other verbal conversation. We did add a lot here, but we
subtracted a lot from another area. We aren't trying to sneak in an additional lot here. I
did submit to you tonight a revised site plan that reflects these changes. When we were
in the Public Hearing we did hear from the neighbors to the southwest that were
concerned about the lots in there and we went back and looked at them and there were
a few small lots and what decided to do is pull one lot out of there, spread the difference
between the existing lots, we are talking specifically Block 21 here, and move that lot to
another area. We don't want to get penalized for adding a little additional width in one
area, we just want to be able to move that lot to another area. And graphically just
wanted to show you what he have done, that we are not adding a lot to this project, we
just wanted the flexibility to move one lot from the area -- like I said, move it to this final
plat in Block 11 final plat. In terms of temporary construction fencing, we will work with
staff and we are okay with their approval. On Site Specific Condition No. 13, relating to
the planting plan and landscaping plan, this is along Locust Grove and specifically the
areas where we will have an office development. We did intend to put those
improvements in at the beginning of the phase, we talked about the phase may be
accelerated, but since they are not part of this plat, we don't feel it's appropriate for us to
have to do that improvement at this time. I can perhaps refer to Mr. Turnbull to address
that a little more. We did not include those in the landscape plan, because they are not
part of the plat. Coming out of the Public Hearing as well it wasn't our impression that
we needed to provide that landscaping to begin with. As for that last part of that
condition that we added which is underlined, it said in the event of weather restriction,
that language is specifically from the approved preliminary plat and Conditional Use
Permit and the Public Hearing. I pulled that directly from what was signed off by the city.
There was much discussion at the Planning and Zoning and City Council meeting
regarding these improvements. There is a significant amount of improvements that are
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 34 of 89
going to occur with this project at the very beginning. You have got a community center,
which will include a swimming pool, a gazebo, we have a three acre park site, we just
need the ability, since it's late in the year, that these -- that if we are not done in time
that the certificate of occupancy occurs, that we be allowed to hold those -- you will be
allowed to hold those bonds as a guarantee and as weather improves we will finish
them off. That language is directly from what was approved by the city. And as for the
rest of those, I think Shari has done a really good job of explaining our position. We
don't have any additional comments. I will defer to Mr. David Turnbull, he wants to
address of few things at this point.
Turnbull: Good evening, Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council. David Turnbull, Brighton
Corporation, 12426 West Explorer Drive. I think John has covered it pretty well. I think
Shari has covered it mostly. I guess I'll just point out that the nature of the preliminary --
the difference between a preliminary plat and a final plat, if we are not able to do some
fine tuning when we come to a final plat stage, I don't know what the purpose of the
preliminary or final plat stage is. This is very consistent with what's done in other areas,
specifically the areas that were mentioned up in here and, you know, it's just a
reconfiguration of lots and that's consistent with what happens between a final plat and
a preliminary plat. As for landscaping on Locust Grove Road, I want to point out that in
our Conditional Use Permit we were required to do in our first, phase this area right
here, this park and gazebo, which we are going to also point out that we are doing the
community center in this first phase. We are also going to be improving some other
areas here and I was totaling that up today and it's a million dollars worth of common
area improvements. So we are going well beyond the normal standard, we are
essentially putting all the common areas in, with the exception of Locust Grove frontage
and we will do that in a subsequent -- at a subsequent time in the near future. If you
wanted to make it concurrent with the second phase, I would be happy to do that. We
will probably even do of before then, but we just have a lot of work to do with this initial
phase. There is a lot of common areas that we are doing. So if you have any questions
for me I will be glad to answer them. Otherwise, I would appreciate that you consider
the letter of revisions which we don't think are substantial, but they are important, that
Mr. Wardle submitted to you this morning. Thank you.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: And I don't know if Mr. Turnbull or Mr. Wardle can answer this, but you didn't
address that there was some disagreement on the staff of the four foot sidewalk and the
on-street parking issue and I didn't know if you were --
Turnbull: What was the --
Nary: Well, Site Specific Condition No. 18, net density, the staff comment here is the
3.93 or the 3.39, but it's actually -- 3.39 is actually 5.83.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 35 of 89
Turnbull: Well, what the staff requested was a setback -- typically as a developer when
you express density you take the overall boundary and count the number of lots and just
do a simple division. Staff requested that we go back through and I think what they do is
take out all the right of ways and all the streets, all the parks, and so forth and that's a
separate what they call a net density calculation. It's not something that we typically use
on the development side, but it's just -- so we provided that. They asked for it, so we
provided that figure. So there is no issue there at all with that, I don't think.
Nary: What about the issue on the parking in the alley where the -- the request from the
fire department was --
Turnbull: We are happy to sign both ends of the alley no parking, plus fire lane access.
Nary: Okay.
Corrie: And the pathway five foot width?
Turnbull: Well, we have no pathways. All of the sidewalks are detached. There will be
four foot sidewalks. I think what Shari's comment was was if there was a separate
pathway that it be five feet, but there are none, so I don't think it's an issue.
Corrie: Okay. Any other questions from Council? Thank you.
Turnbull: Thank you.
Corrie: Okay. Any discussion from Council before I entertain a motion for final plat?
Hearing none, I will entertain a motion on the final plat request.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I'm going to move the approval of final plat for FP 02-014, the final plat approval
for 82 building lots and 6 other lots on 24.21 acres in an R-8 zone for Heritage
Commons Subdivision by Brighton Corporation, pursuant to the staff comments of July
11th, as well as all the modifications requested by the developer dated in their staff
comments -- or their position statement of July 16, that Site Specific Condition No. 6,
the right-of-way width for alleys be deleted, that we believe that a 16 foot right of way is
ACHD's requirement, that Site Specific Condition No. 7 also be deleted, changing the
frontage, just a slight modification on the preliminary plat; that Site Specific Comment
No. 8, Block 11 -- let's see. That that also be deleted pursuant to the -- pursuant -- I'm
sorry. I guess I'll scoot up. That pursuant to the developer's position statement,
Condition No. 8, Block 11, be deleted. Construction fencing, I think they were both in
agreement; is that right? And number three, the planting and landscape plan -- I guess I
don't see the point -- I think bonding for it as required with the condition regarding
weather is adequate. I don't see this is a significant problem with the plan from what we
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 36 of 89
reviewed in the preliminary plat, but if you want to follow, I don't see a problem of
following it with the developer's request in that particular one. It appears we are all in
agreement on Condition 18, number three, of the general requirements; number 9 of the
general requirements, and the developer is in agreement that the staff requested that
they -- in general -- the fire department requirement number seven, that they sign both
ends of the alleys that there is no parking and they be designated fire lanes, so we
make sure the fire department will have access and I think that was all the comments
and for council to prepare Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and Decision and
Order.

3, 2641 E. Bernice Dr.:
Corrie: Item 18, 19, and Item 20 are Public Hearings. This is -- no. I'm sorry. We got 18
yet to do. I'm sorry. This is a request for a variance for a reduced setback from ten feet
to five feet on the side of a home with a dormer on the second level by KW Homes, lot
28, Block 4 of Packard Estates No. 3, 2641 East Bernice Drive. At this time I will open
the Public Hearing on the request for a variance and staff comments first.
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, this property came to our attention several months ago.
The property had been built not according to plans, which required a lot line adjustment
to meet the minimum setbacks. They had reached an agreement with the adjoining
property owner to do the lot line adjustment and apparently money exchanged hands,
but no document was ever recorded. Since that time both properties or one of the
properties had changed ownership, maybe both of them, I'm not sure, but, nevertheless,
there was never a lot line adjustment to -- so they could meet the minimum setback
requirement. If you can see, I believe it's on your computers, that shows a picture of the
existing home, the dormer on the -- that would create the two stories was not shown on
the approved plans. Staff does not feel this application meets the requirements for a
variance, as there are -- none of the conditions exist that would warrant a variance. It
was all due to conditions created by the applicant. So our request is to deny this
variance request. Thanks.
Corrie: Okay. Any questions for the staff at this point?
Bird: I have none right now.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Mrs. Stiles, how did they get a certificate of occupancy?

Page 38 of 89
Stiles: You have a letter from Daunt Whitman, the building official, in your packets.
Nary: On the computer packet?
Stiles: I think so. It's dated June 6. Daunt Whitman states the certificate of occupancy
for KW Homes was issued based on the information provided that the land purchase
had taken place.
Nary: Thank you. Sorry.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: So at that time Daunt didn't ask for proof of that when the occupancy was
granted?
Stiles: Not that I'm aware of, no.
Corrie: Any other questions? Okay. This is a Public Hearing. Do we have -- the
applicant can testify first. We have five minutes and then anybody that wants to testify
on the Public Hearing has three minutes to give their part and we will time and we will
cut you off at five and three minutes. Okay. Is the applicant here this evening? Raise
your right hand. Is the testimony you're about to give the truth, the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Wang: Yes.
Corrie: Name and address, please, for the record.
Wang: My name is Kent Wang. On the plan to approve for the dormer, on the plan
exactly got approved for it, the dormer, but --
Nary: Excuse me. Could you give your name and address again?
Wang: 2146 East Bernice Drive. I forgot to bring the floor plan here tonight. On the side
there is supposed to have a notice of ten feet, you know, setback for the property line,
but when they come to -- the framer do the framing and the truss -- the truss company
and when they deliver the truss, it had another five feet and I didn't know that until after
the framing done and I -- at that time, you know, I go and talk to the builder next door,
John Conner, to buy the five feet and to have the 10 feet to meet the city -- you know,
but at that time we exchange the check and I forgot to go down to the city to record it
and ask for -- to obtain a judgment and I make a mistake, you know, and it won't happen
again and I hope the city, you know, approve for my request. On the plan they do have
a five -- you know, a dormer on that plan.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 39 of 89
Corrie: Okay. Any questions from Council?
Nary: Mr. Wang?
Wang: Yes.
Nary: I guess I saw our building inspector said it doesn't show, but it did show that on
the --
Wang: It did show on the blueprint, you know, the five by six dormer. No, one -- just half
that, but when the truss company build the truss they, you know, make a mistake or
another four feet for me, so I have enough room to make another, you know, full bath in
there, so I just add another full bath on the dormer, but --
Nary: When did you have the transaction to purchase that other property?
Wang: At sometime last year July, but I forgot about, you know, to record it, the time I
change the agreement with the builder John Conner, to by the five feet from him.
Nary: You gave -- according to this application, Mr. Wang, you gave this person money
to buy that five feet of property and now what you're telling us is you forgot to go get a
deed and record it?
Wang: Yes. Yes. And he never been recorded -- the deed to -- and I never go to record
the deed, too, so when the house -- I sold and he sold and then he -- you know
homeowner want the five feet back, just because I forgot to record, you know, the deed
for the five feet.
Nary: And are you suing him for that or --
Wang: I'm not suing him, no. Well, I can get the very end the five feet, you know, but --
okay for a dormer.
Nary: So you want us to fix this problem that you messed up?
Wang: Yes.
Nary: But you're not taking any action against the person you paid money to buy
property to fix the problem?
Wang: I think they get a lawyer to sue my homeowner. I think by Idaho law, I'm not sure,
but my friend tell me there is no way I can have a chance to win the case.
Nary: Do you have a lawyer?
Wang: No. My homeowner have a lawyer.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 40 of 89
Nary: So you're just -- you built this house?
Wang: Yeah.
Nary: And you sold it.
Wang: Sold it to them.
Nary: So now if we don't approve this, you got to go tear that out and rebuild their wall?
Wang: That's the last chance, but I hope with the dormer -- right now in the same
subdivision in Packard Estates have one house, same thing, have a dormer, five feet,
right near by the property line and they do get a. -- you know, get an occupancy permit
to -- I make mistake, you know, I should record that deed, but, you know, I just ask for
one chance. Won't happen again.
Corrie: Any other questions?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Okay. Thank you. Is there anyone that would like to issue testimony on this
variance request? Okay. Hearing none, Council, any other questions for staff on the
record for the Public Hearing?
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd; Gary or Shari, was this caught at the framing inspection or at final
inspection?
Stiles: The memo dated June 6 says it was caught at the framing inspection.
De Weerd: And the applicant was told at that time and that's when you purchased the
property and --
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: This other one that he's made reference to in Packard Estates Lot 2 Block 1, what
was that about? I don't know anything about it.
Stiles: I'm not aware of anything either.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 41 of 89
Nary: Okay. I guess we haven't closed the Public Hearing. Mr. Wang, do you have
more information about this Packard Estates Lot 2 Block 1 variance you say that was
granted by the Council?
Wang: One of my realtor lady tell me that you have one in the middle of the phase that
they call middle the room for one house is only five feet setback with a dormer and
another thing on the final framing inspector, I never had any note about a dormer too
close to the property line on June 15 -- whatever she's gone on common -- if I could
catch onto June 16, you know, I do just move back to five feet, you know, take out the
soaking tub will still meet the -- you know, the property line. But I never have any on the
-- you know, note. The inspector never leave any note, you know, say too close to the
property line.
De Weerd: So you're saying it was the framing inspection that the note wasn't made?
Wang: Never had any not -- nothing note to me saying I need to meet the, you know,
ten feet.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Mr. Wang , so you're saying that -- what Mr. Whitman's telling us is that he told
you that this was too close and you -- stop. Is that what you just said?
Wang: When you tell me to stop -- the framing inspection.
Nary: No. I understand that. He told you, though, it was too close to the property line?
Wang: Nobody.
Nary: Okay. Why did you go buy the five feet from the neighbor?
Wang: Because somebody tell me I need to meet the five -- I need ten feet to meet the
dormer.
Nary: Who was that somebody?
Wang: Just, you know, some builder there in the subdivision. They said, oh, usually they
require ten feet to meet the -- you know --
Nary: So you never told Mr. Whitney that you would purchase that property, that
transaction was happening, and you would do a property line adjustment? You never
told him any of that?
Wang: I don't tell anybody at that time.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 42 of 89
Nary: So he's lying in this letter to us? Is that what you want us to believe?
Wang: Okay. All I remember at that time is when I got frame inspection, right? I don't
get collection on the note. I know on the building -- on the blueprint they require ten feet,
but I'm -- my mistake if you go to -- the truss company deliver the truss -- this five by --
six by ten, six by nine, that's to prove the six, but later on the truss company deliver a
truss that's six by ten -- six by nine, that's four feet exactly, you know, four feet too long,
you know.
Nary: So, Mr. Wang, instead of correcting the problem or requesting a variance, you
tempted to buy the property, though?
Wang: Correct.
Nary: All right.
Wang: Going back to July, yeah, I know I made a mistake that time, so I go and try to
get the five feet from the next door -- the next builder.
Nary: And you have told us you did that, you made that transaction?
Wang: Told the lady sometime August. I think August or September. I just can't
remember the time, because I had another job I worked for a restaurant or just get too
busy and forgot to record it.
Nary: And so -- well, you're saying you forgot to record it, that tells me you have a deed
that you can record. What you said before is you don't even have a deed.
Wang: That's right. That's why I tell to give the -- buy the money to build -- I gave him a
check.
Nary: And you got nothing.
Wang: And we record -- no, we just -- you know, I haven't change papers saying, you
know, his name and my name and he will to sell me the feet, you know, on the --
Nary: Okay. I just want to understand what you did. So you gave this guy money, you
got no deed for it, you didn't record it, but you framed the house up anyway and sold it?
Wang: No. I framed it long before. You know, I frame it long before, you know, can't
wait.
Nary: And when you did that you knew that it was a violation of an ordinance.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 43 of 89
Wang: Yes. No. After our framing done, everything done, I know and that's why I go
ahead and go buy the five feet. But after I buy five feet I forgot to take out to city and
record the deed and get a -- obtain a judgment.
Nary: And your only evidence that we had granted some variance of that before is a
realtor friend of yours told you some other house in Packard Estates had variance
granted?
Wang: I not sure granted or not, but I know that one house in there only have five feet
setback just like mine with a dormer.
Nary: Mr. Wang, realtors tell people all kinds of stuff and they are not always accurate.
You never checked, you never did anything, other than just take the person's word for
it?
Wang: I trust them.
Nary: It sounds like they trusted you to take care of the problem before you were here.
Bird: Mr. Wang? Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Mr. Wang, you say from the other builder you gave him a check and he gave you a
receipt stating that this property --
Wang: It's a realtor help us print out paper saying his name John, you know, Conner
Construction and he sell five feet of the property, you know, from Lot 27 to my name
Kent Wang, KW Home on the Lot 28, you know, five feet. So I buy him -- you know, I
sign the paper and I give him a check, but, you know, I just forgot to record it and get a
deed from him.
Bird: And you are KW Homes? You are a builder, then?
Wang: Yes. I have the home -- he allow me to -- everybody make mistake, you know.
All I ask is just one chance. It won't happen a second time in my life.
Corrie: Okay. Any other questions? Okay. Thank you. Okay. Any other questions before
we close the Public Hearing? If not, I'll entertain a motion to close the Public Hearing.
McCandless: Mr. Mayor, so moved.
Nary: Second.
Corrie: Motion made and second to close the Public Hearing. Any further discussion?
All in favor say aye. All ayes. Motion carried.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 44 of 89
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Corrie: Discussion?
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: If I understand all of Mr. Wang's testimony, he's a builder, he builds a house,
somebody told him that it was too close to the property line, our building inspector said it
wasn't him, he says it was somebody, he doesn't know who it was; he knew the trusses
were too long, he built it anyway, he framed it up anyway and bought property from the
next door neighbor for 2,650 dollars, which he never got a deed for, never recorded it,
and he doesn't do anything about that at all, sold the property to somebody else, who
now is stuck with this and he'd like us to fix it. I'm sorry, I don't see that we are obligated
to fix it. I think Mr. Wang made this from one chocolate mess to another and he needs
to fix it. I don't think we need to vary our ordinance because Mr. Wang botched this from
the get go on how this was done and now wants no responsibility for it, except for us to
vary our ordinance for his benefit. I just can't see what in the world we would do to grant
something like that. We have been very strict on granting the variances and there is no
reason to do this just because all we would be doing is encouraging Mr. Wang or
anybody else to do whatever they wanted, mess it up poorly, and then and come say
vary your ordinance to make it fit for me. But I'd like to see what everyone else has to
say.
Corrie: Further discussion?
Nary: Maybe someone has a different perspective than I have.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: I guess I have a little different perspective. When you look at the integrity of
our ordinance on variances, I just can't see anything in here that meets the ordinance to
grant a variance and that's what it comes down to. I know this puts the homeowner is a
real awkward situation, but this is something that the builder is going to have to rectify
and he will have to find that builder and find a way to do it. It doesn't meet the intent of
our variance ordinance and that's what we have tried to consistently base our decisions
on. However, we empathize with the homeowner. We have to -- we have to go by our
ordinances, so --
Corrie: Any further discussion?
Bird: I have none.
Meridian City Council Meeting

Page 45 of 89
Corrie: I'll entertain a motion for the request for variance.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: That's what I mean that Council Member de Weerd said. I would move that we
deny the request for variance for a reduced setback from ten feet to five feet on the side
of the home with a dormer on the second level by KW Homes on Lot 28, Block 4 of the
Packard Sub No. 3 and for our council to prepare Findings of Fact and Conclusions of
Law and Decision and Order to that effect.
Bird: Second.
McCandless: Second.
Corrie: Okay. I heard a couple seconds. Motion made and seconded. Any further
discussion? Role-call vote, Mr. Berg.
Roll-call vote: McCandless, aye; Nary, aye; DeWeerd, aye; Bird, aye.
Corrie: Okay.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Yes, Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: Can we take a five minute break?
Corrie: Okay. Let's come back here at five minutes until nine and we will adjourn until
that time.

Request for a Conditional Use Permit for a
Planned Unit Development for residential, commercial and office park
Sutherland Farm
development for by Sutherland Farm, Inc. – east of
South Eagle Road and north of East Victory Road:
Corrie: All right. I will reopen the City Council meeting. The Public Hearing next is three
public hearings on Sutherland Farms. One is for a request for annexation and zoning
and one is for the preliminary plat and the other is a request for a Conditional Use
Permit for the Planned Unit Development. I will open all three of the public hearings at
one time. Your testimony can be for all three or where ever you want to go on that. To
save some time I have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine signed up
against, I don't have any signed for, but we will do the same rules as before, since there
are three things here we will give the developer five minutes on each one if he needs it,
if they don't that's fine. You'll have three minutes on the for or against testimony. So at
this time I will open the Public Hearing on Items 19, 20, and 21 and staff comments first.
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, this is for property that's immediately south of the
Sundance -- or Silverstone Subdivision. It's east of Thunder -- or Thousand Springs
Subdivision. It extends to Victory on the south and the Ridenbaugh Canal is adjacent to
the a portion of it on the north. The property north of the Ridenbaugh Canal here is not
proposed as part of a Conditional Use Permit. What they are thinking is is that when this
80 acres develops adjacent to Silverstone, that it's likely that this could be included as
part of that development or may be even included as part of the Silverstone
development at some point, but they don't have any immediate plans for this
commercial portion. They would propose a pathway along the Ridenbaugh Canal. We
do show in our existing Comprehensive Plan that the Ridenbaugh Canal is a multiple
use pathway. They are proposing office uses adjacent to Eagle Road in this area and
then they have some townhouse lots, alley loaded lots, in the -- this is a regular public
street I believe here adjacent to townhouse lots. They are showing some open space
here. A pond feature with open space. There are five acre lots or more adjacent to them
in the southern -- south of the property and also in this area. They have been -- they
have made changes since the initial application to try to address some of the neighbors'
concerns. They have submitted an agreement with the -- one of the property owners
adjacent to them, Mr. Gale Sasser -- I don't know if I'm saying that right. Do you have
that in your packets? Do you have that on your computer about the memorandum of
understanding? The applicant had agreed to a restriction for single story homes on Lots
12, 13, and 14 of Block 9 and Lots 5 and 6 of Block 9. The Planning and Zoning
Commission also recommended that an eight foot cedar fence be built along the entire
length of the western and northern property boundaries. I believe that's of the Sasser
property. I think that needs some explanation. Eight foot fences are prohibited in all
residential zones, so I guess if the Council wanted to approve that as part of the
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 47 of 89
Conditional Use Permit they should consider that specifically in the Conditional Use
Permit. And also agreed to extensive landscaping with a mixture of evergreen and
deciduous trees. That could be misinterpreted and maybe needs some additional
clarification of what consists of a dense mixture. It says they will work together to
develop a mutually acceptable landscape plan. The applicant has also agreed to an
increased rear setback of 30 feet for Lots 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 of Block 9. This planned
development will provide a variety of housing types. The applicant has removed some
of the lots that were initially shown adjacent to the park area to create a better view
corridor and to make it more open and more accessible to all residents within the
subdivision. They propose a bridge over the Ridenbaugh Canal. Ada County Highway
District will require bonding for construction of that prior to signature on the final plat. I'm
not sure if their bonding requirements were for half of the cost of that or for three-fourths
of the cost of that, since they do have property to the north of the Ridenbaugh Canal.
Maybe Gary Lee would be able to answer that. They will need to provide -- and I believe
it's shown on the plat -- with the temporary turnarounds at these stubs that are over 150
feet in length. They would be coming back in -- and Gary can correct me if I'm wrong on
that -- about the Conditional Use Permit. They have only come in with a conceptual plan
on the office uses at this time. They would need to come back at a later date to do a
detailed Conditional Use Permit for a planned development for the office uses.
However, the commercial uses north of the Ridenbaugh Canal are not proposed to be
part of the planned development and would be zoned separately. It's a little hard to see.
It's real faint on the scanned document that we have for the plat. They are showing their
landscape areas. They have extensive landscaping along what would be a collector
type roadway going through here. In the future they are proposing that the road that has
been extended in Silverstone would be extended north through this property to extend
to the other parcel on the east. The staff recognizes the effort that the applicant's
representative has made in trying to accommodate the neighbors. It's always hard when
you come up to rural residential subdivisions that are five acre lots and provider urban
densities, but it's just not cost effective to try to develop with sewer and water with five
acre lots in an urban area of impact. It's a waste of property. I can empathize with the
people that have those lots and I'm not sure how many of them are here again tonight,
but hopefully that this can be designed and constructed and have adequate buffers
between the densities that will be acceptable to the neighbors. We would ask that this
project be approved for annexation and zoning and preliminary plat and Conditional Use
Permit for a planned development with the staff and agency conditions and the
recommendations with the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Corrie: Okay. Any questions at this time?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Okay. Is the applicant here this evening? Is the testimony you're about to give
the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Lee: Yes, it is.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 48 of 89
Corrie: Name and address for the record, please.
Lee: My name is Gary Lee with JUB, 250 South Beachwood in Boise, representing the
applicant Sutherland Farms. I think Shari has done a pretty good job of explaining the
project. I just wanted to briefly go over some of the highlights of the application request.
The total plot here is 128 acres, roughly, and the C-G zone that we are requesting of
about 11 acres lies just north of the Ridenbaugh Canal as currently adjacent to existing
city limits and a C-G zone there for Silverstone. The rest of the site is proposed to be R-
4 with a PUD that's 116 acres. Of that PUD area we have about 97 acres in residential
and about 19 and a half acres of office and we threw in multi-family, because it's a little
unknown at this time as exactly what we are going to do with that area, but we wanted
to allow some uses in there for future expansion for L-O type uses and maybe some
multi-family. So any discussion with staff they thought a PUD might be the way to go
and then as part of our development agreement we will agree to conditional use
applications for that site that lies west of the residential area. In addition, we needed to
come up with some estimates for the traffic counts when we do our traffic analysis for a
presentation to ACHD and as part of our application under the CUP we developed a
preliminary site plan of that area and devised some building footprints, we are assuming
they are two story buildings, then we added parking stalls to that and then generated
our traffic counts, so you have kind of a base map to work with in the future and not
have a surprise on a traffic issue. Same thing applied to the commercial general use
area to the north. We did some preliminary layouts for that as well trying to come up
with some reasonable number. But both of those areas will come back to you for a
Conditional Use Permit. The landscaping we provided about 13.8 acres total, 12 and a
half -- or about 12.2 is part of the area that's not street buffer and counts about ten and
a half percent of the total size to meet the PUD requirement. As Shari mentioned, we
did enhance the site with a neighborhood park that's about four acres in size and
included the city's pathway along the Ridenbaugh Canal. Through the preliminary plat
review process there were some concessions made. We eliminated some lots near the
open space in the center of the site just below the pond area. They had four lots there --
fairly sizeable lots. We took those out at the suggestion of staff and we didn't lose the
count, but we added them to the area just to the west, so our overall density stayed the
same. Speaking of that, we got about a three unit to the acre density on this project, so
it's not that high for an R-4 zone. We added some micropaths through a couple of the
blocks at the staff suggestion easterly of that common open space neighborhood park.
And there were some discussions with Mr. Sasser on his five acre piece, which is a
parcel that fronts on Victory Road. He's the gentleman that's building quite a sizeable
home right now and fairly high value and our client decided it was -- there was interest
to work with him and develop some landscape schemes and try to do some things there
that would help mitigate impacts on his property, mainly because his house sits so close
to the property line adjacent to us. Unlike some of the others along the Los Altos
Subdivision, those homes sit back quite a bit further and they have some extensive
landscaping available there already. There is just a couple issues on the staff
recommendations I wanted to briefly discuss with Council and the first one is on the
preliminary plat condition number 21 and that's on page three of the preliminary plat
document. Item 12. It talks about -- excuse me. It's not 12. Item 21 on the restrictions. It
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 49 of 89
includes language that says restrictions shall include single story, as well as peak height
of 25 feet or less on those lots and block adjacent to the border of the project. We have
an opportunity out here to build some basements, we have very low groundwater
conditions and we have some deep sewers and we'd like to maybe modify that condition
to say not to exceed peak height of 25 feet and just scratch the single story portion of it
if that would be acceptable to the Council. I think the effect is the same. The idea was to
keep the building height low. So that would help us out on some multi-story units that
could possibly go in there. Also on item 12 of the preliminary plat -- I got out of
sequence here. It talks a little bit about the phasing of the development and the last
sentence in there I'd like to request that it be deleted. What it says is all development --
all development, however, must be contiguous to a previously improved phase.
Because of the physical constraints on this site, we are going to start our phasing of the
residential development in Victory Road and move northerly and the reason for that is
there is a working horse ranch that lies kind of in the north long east-west portion of the
property and the piece below that -- if I had a pointer I'd show you. I'll just go point to it
right now. That portion that I just pointed to is an area that they feel they can start with
and still keep their ranch operating in the meantime. We have got three phases planned
for that area, phase one, two, and three, and we'd like to start there with our
development and go through the residential portion of it first. However, we still --
depending on what the market does in the next few years for commercial retail multi-
family, there may be a need or a buyer come along that wants to do something with that
commercial area and if we decide to take phase four up north of the canal it won't be
contiguous with phase three. We'd like a little flexibility there to construct that sentence
in there to where we wouldn't have to go contiguous with a previous phase. It would
help us out in our marketing scheme. So you know, the -- in order to develop that first
phase we have to extend sanitary sewer from Silverstone -- Silverstone Subdivision and
it's quite an extension, probably 1,500 to 1,800 feet. So we are going to have some
major infrastructure in place just to get to phase one. We also have to extend the water
from Eagle Road down what is known as Easy Jet Drive with a preliminary plat about a
quarter mile into that development. So we are going to have a lot of that already in
place, so that the city shouldn't have to worry about future phases continuing onto the
north. The bridge issue Shari touched on briefly that crosses the Ridenbaugh and what
we have agreed to with the Highway District is when we come into develop that phase
that's adjacent to that bridge for that stub street, which I think is Knapp Avenue, we
have agreed to develop this and to acquire construction bids for that crossing. And
ACHD will determine a letter of credit amount that we will have to post with them to pay
for our share. Now there wasn't any firm discussions on what our share is, but we
expect it's going to be half. But whatever the number is we will have to deal with that
with the Highway District. So that money will go into an account. When the property due
north of us develops, then they will throw in their share of the bridge and it will be
constructed and that way the connection north to Overland Road will be complete in the
future. I touched on the CUP for the office area that Shari had mentioned and I just
wanted to reiterate on that commercial use north of the Ridenbaugh Canal, that being a
C-G zone and we did have some lots designated on our preliminary plat and I think we
had five lots in there. We'd like to keep that lot count. It may -- the lots mentioned may
move around a little bit based on the uses in the future. But, again, it will be a

Conditional Use Permit for the Council. So with that I would conclude and if you have
any questions I would be glad to answer those or I could answer them after other
testimony.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Mr. Lee, what is that? What is that piece there?
Lee: The north-south piece that you're pointing to that is the wider --
Nary: Yes.
Lee: That will be a public street that connects to Copperpoint Way.
Nary: That's a stub and this is --
Lee: And that's a common access driveway for those five lots.
Nary: There is no stub -- this is just a stub now and there is no other access at this point
to these lots, except from -- well, there isn't one. This is a canal; right?
Lee: Right.
Nary: There will be no access at all.
Lee: There will be when that stub street goes through north on the east side. Way over
on the east. Yeah. Right there.
Nary: Okay.
Lee: It will be contiguous there.
Nary: That's the issue with the bridge. Okay. And then is there -- is there something up
-- this is where the Silverstone is. Where does this stub street -- does it stop right on the
other side of the stub street on that end or something or --
Lee: That's the very east end of Copperpoint Way in the Silverstone plat.
Nary: Okay.
Lee: So it connects to that right of way.
Nary: Okay.
Meridian City Council Meeting

Page 51 of 89
Lee: And that road, by the way, is slated to continue on east and it will intersect with
Knapp Lane at the mid mile section, so we have an east-west road and a north-south
road.
Nary: Okay. Thank you.
Corrie: Any other questions? Okay. Thank you.
Lee: Thank you.
Corrie: Okay. This is a Public Hearing. I'll remind you, you have three minutes. Is there
anyone here for the project to testify? Okay. We have some signed up that are against.
I'll go down the list here. Mark Azakowski? Is he here?
Azakowski: I have nothing to say at this time.
Corrie: All right. How about Nancy Hilton? Cassie Shelton. Is the testimony you're
about to give the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Shelton: Yes.
Corrie: Okay. Your name and address for the record, please.
Shelton: My name is Cassie Shelton and I'm a homeowner at 2934 South Goshen Way,
which is in the Muir Wood Subdivision located right there. Yeah. I'm to the east. Yeah.
To the east of this neighborhood. It's been brought to my attention in recent meetings
with -- I believe it's been the Ada County Highway District and other entities that we, as
a neighborhood association, would like to blockade that entrance from our entrance into
their neighborhood, Sutherland Farms -- right there. With posts or some sort of barrier,
because what's going to happen is if there aren't any sort of protective measures taken,
one street, Muir Ridge Drive, I believe, will get all of the construction traffic and whatnot
for that whole neighborhood until it's been developed and the construction workers can
make and forge their own gravel pathway, usually new neighborhoods that are
constructed have a gravel entrance. I know ours currently does right now. That's not an
official entrance, but it's kind of a gravel path that the construction workers use. What's
going to happen is that that's not blocked off right there, at least until the neighborhood
is done, our entrance -- the entrance to our neighborhood Muir Woods is going to have
all of the construction traffic and everything until traffic patterns are in place, I guess,
and I believe that it was the ACHD's recommendations that protective measures be
placed there until the final phase was completed of this neighborhood and I wanted to
just make sure that that was in whatever note it is that you're looking at, because
previously that wasn't mentioned, so -- that's all.
Corrie: Thank you. Dave Barclay. Is the testimony you're about to give the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 52 of 89
Barclay: Yes.
Corrie: Name and address for the record.
Barclay: My name is David Barclay. We own the property at 3465 Victory, right at the
entrance to your proposed subdivision. Several years ago we purchased the five and a
half acre plot there with the desire to -- there was an existing home and we wanted to
build an additional home, one for my wife and I and have our daughter and her husband
and our grand children live in the existing home. Silly me. I found out that this was not
permissible under your zoning laws and now from my perspective it is very frustrating to
see someone come in across the street and pretty much given a cart blanche from my
perspective. This whole system has been a very unfriendly experience as far as the
common person. From every meeting it appears that everyone wants to cater to the
developer. As a voter, as a property owner, it's been very very frustrating. Victory is an
extremely small road. I now find out they are going to start the construction from the
south on Victory and progress northward. I repeat. It is a very small road. The original
Planning and Zone meeting where everyone was available or given the opportunity to
express their opinions was at a time when I was unavailable myself and my wife told me
that there would be a second meeting where perhaps I might be able to attend. We
found out that that meeting transpired. Apparently there was a notice the day of the
meeting, but certainly not enough time for me to prepare -- for me to arrange my
schedule so that I could attend. And apparently at that meeting they made some
concessions with the other property owners, i.e., the eight foot wall, other concessions.
But, again, our property is right there directly across the street -- exactly. All right. We
thought perhaps we'd have a berm or something placed there that would block the
headlights and block the traffic and sound, but apparently that -- no one's discussed that
with us. We also were told that the water that's going to come along Victory --
apparently now that's coming from Eagle. And that was perhaps the only carrot that was
offered to me, at least in future development or future use of our property, is that there
would be a waterline there available for us in the event that we would then be able to be
annexed into the city or whatever for us to build a home. And, of course, that's not going
to happen now either. Of course, these are changes that apparently come to light, you
know, just in the last -- at this meeting here. In summary, it's been a very frustrating
experience and I know that the trend nowadays is for city councils to try to generate the
revenue and apparently this is a means of generating revenue, but the impact of the
people in the surrounding area is tremendous and, again, a very frustrating experience.
Corrie: Okay. Any questions for Dave? Okay. Sue? Is Nancy Hilton here yet? Okay. Pat
Maley. Is the testimony you're about to give the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but
the truth, so help you God?
Maley: It is.
Corrie: Okay. Name and address, please.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 53 of 89
Maley: My name is Pat Maley, 12449 West Muir Woods Drive. My issue has already
been addressed once, but just for clarification sake, we live on the street that would pick
up a fair amount of traffic -- yeah. That one. From the east end of Sutherland Farms.
There was a presentation made by a group of Muir Wood homeowners to the ACHD
and in ACHD's consideration of their preliminary plat it's my understanding that they
placed a condition for the installation of temporary bollards across Hollendale, which is
where the mouse is right now and also across Knapp, at least on the north and I believe
on the south, until such time as Knapp Road is connected to Overland Road. The
reasoning for that is that the preliminary traffic study that was submitted along with this
indicated that in the p.m. rush hour Muir Ridge Drive would have one car about every 15
seconds. It's certainly not developed for that. It's not designed for that now. It's 37 feet
curb to curb, a 50 foot right of way, has a 138 degree deflection curve that's right in the
pathway of that -- there is a place where the major entry into our common area, our
park, is located -- Muir Ridge Drive has an island in it and so if some child were to ride a
bike, a skateboard, scooter, or run out in front of a car, there is place for a car to swerve
and so we respectfully request, again, that you maintain the provision that we
understand is in the temporary -- the preliminary plat that would require the installation
of temporary bollards until such time as the Overland Road connection is complete.
Thank you.
Corrie: Thank you. Rodney Reyes? Am I pronouncing it correctly? Is the testimony
you're about to give the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you
God?
Reyes: Yes.
Corrie: Name and address, please.
Reyes: My name is Rodney Reyes. I live at 3465 East Victory Road. I live in Dave
Barclay's home. What -- to kind of recap on what he stated about living across the street
from that beginning subdivision there. As you all know, Victory Road is very small and
we have even had a case in the winter where we've had a car come into our yard and
take out a tree. Just to some type of maybe like what Dave said, a berm or something.
Nothing has been said to us on -- like he stated and that and I do have four small
children that like to play out in the front yard. My -- the road actually sits probably, I don't
know, four feet from my yard. I have dirt and then I have my grass and just kind
concerned about what they might do to help with that and with all the construction traffic
going through Victory Road.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: I just have a question.
Corrie: Rodney.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 54 of 89
De Weerd: Now does their entrance into the subdivision align with your driveway?
Where is it in relation to your front yard?
Reyes: My wife can answer that.
Corrie: Is the testimony you're about to give the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but
the truth, so help you God?
A.Reyes: Yes.
Corrie: Okay. And would you take that mike with you right there.
De Weerd: And if you will state your name and address for the record.
A.Reyes: Amber Reyes, 3465 East Victory Road. This -- we have a field right here. My
home starts right where this road and that -- our driveway is over here.
De Weerd: So that road would shine into your house?
A.Reyes: Into mine and my little girl's bedrooms when they would turn onto Victory
Road.
De Weerd: And do you have any landscaping -- any existing landscaping that would
help?
A.Reyes: We have two trees. One was taken out. So, yeah, we still have one existing.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you.
A.Reyes: Could I ask a question or do you want me to -- okay. Just from hearing the
gentleman speak right now, the sewer is already coming in off of Eagle Road. So my
question is why are they starting the first phase to the south. Right there. Why is it not --
if you already have the Thousand Springs Subdivision on Eagle and then you have Muir
Woods to the east, it would make sense to put a subdivision in between those two,
instead of coming off of Victory Road where you have five acre lots. Start your first
phase off of Eagle Road where you already have a subdivision adjacent to it. So I would
just like to ask maybe consideration of the first phase be changed to coming off of Eagle
Road. Thank you.
Corrie: Okay. Is Nancy back in or is she still gone? Is there anyone else that would like
to issue testimony at this time? Okay. Is the testimony you're about to give the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Roundy: Yes.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 55 of 89
Corrie: Name and address, please.
Roundy: My name is Joyce Roundy. R-o-u-n-d-y. I live at 4178 Los Altos Drive. I guess
my question -- forgive me, I came in late and perhaps it was already addressed, but I
live where that -- see where the arrow is? I live on Los Altos Drive. It's Ranchos Los
Altos Subdivision. Shall I go point?
Corrie: Yes, please.
Roundy: Right in here. I think right in there.
Corrie: Okay.
Roundy: Our subdivision, as you may know, was built back in the '70s and we have
large lots. I mean the smallest piece of land that anyone owns in there is two acres.
Ours happens to be a two acre lot that butts right up against Sutherland Farms. The
people to the east of us have two acres. The people to the west of us have three acres.
The people across the street from us have three and a half acres. Now, granted, we
realize that we were built in a different era and we could not hope to maintain those size
of lots forever. I guess what we have requested in the past -- and I just don't know how
this turned out yet, is that we have some transition lot sizes, rather than quarter acres
up against us. To the east of Sutherland Farms, as you know, is Muir Woods and that
also comes up against Rancho Los Altos. I understand that that's Boise and what we
are considering here is Meridian and policies are different perhaps, but they did give us
at least some better transition sizes, a third to a half acre lots up against the large lots of
Rancho Los Altos. Yeah. Right where you're pointing there. Has that been established,
the size of the lots up against ours?
Corrie: I don't know. We will have to ask the --
Roundy: Asking a quarter acre. Is that what you're saying? I guess, then, I would put in
my request that they be larger than that to give us a better transition. Another question.
At one time the developer did indicate that they would be willing to keep the level of
homes along Rancho Los Altos to one story, rather than two and I guess I'm asking,
again, is that -- does that still stand?
Nary: What is that change? So there is only -- they are 25 foot height, but it could be
two story, as long as it's within the 25 foot height requirement.
Roundy: Is the minimum height for one story 25 feet?
Nary: It kind of depends.
De Weerd: They are asking that basements to be included. That's why they didn't want
the two story requirements.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 56 of 89
Roundy: Oh. I see.
De Weerd: They would build down, rather than up.
Roundy: Yes. Okay. It was the height. I know at one time they said, well, only one
restriction should be required of those lots surrounding us. My comment would be those
are very compatible restrictions -- those are compatible restrictions, because if you have
a larger lot you have more room to build on a single level. Thank you.
Corrie: Is there anyone else? Yes, ma'am. Is the testimony you're about to give the
truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Renke: I do.
Bird: Name and address, please.
Renke: My name is Caroline Renke, 3595 East Victory Road, and I'm just asking -- I did
send a letter to the City Council, faxed a letter in. You received that. And the concern is
our home is directly where that access road is to the south. The headlights would shine
directly into our living room, dining room. But builder has made -- the engineers have
made agreements to work the neighbor to the east, Mr. Sasser, putting up eight foot
fences and dense trees, they haven't said anything about even putting a fence to stop
the lights from shining directly -- the cars that are egressing to the south onto Victory,
those lights will come directly into our home if they turn toward the east. And we have a
concern regarding the development of phase one, that they are reaching the furthest
that they can to annex into the city and developing that without even knowing what they
are going to be doing, what the economy is going to be doing and to develop a density
of those homes and commercial. But they want to be sure and reach as far as Victory to
get that in and then it's easier to decide what they want to do in the future and that's --
and Victory is a very busy road and it's difficult for us to get out and turn east onto
Victory the way it is now with an access road facing us. I ask you to consider the traffic.
Corrie: Thank you. Anyone else? Tom?
Kuntz: Mayor Corrie --
Corrie: You're already sworn.
Kuntz: Tom Kuntz, the parks department. We just want to go on record in regards to the
park, the private neighborhood park that they have there. Our comments were
submitted to the Planning and Zoning Commission as part of staff comments on May
15th. Our recommendation was to delete lots -- I believe it was 66 through 73 on Block
1. They deleted four of those, but there still remains three lots in the southeast corner of
that neighbor park. We just want to go on record that we still recommend that those
three lots be deleted, so that the park size would go from four acres to five acres, so
that in the future when we received a call from the homeowners association that states
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 57 of 89
that we do not want to -- pay to maintain this neighborhood park any longer, would the
city consider taking it over, our minimum park size is five acres. If those three lots were
to be deleted, not only would it enable us to take that over at some point if the
homeowners find that to be a burden, but it also would make a much better
neighborhood park if those three lots were deleted and we just want to go on record.
Thank you.
Corrie: Anyone else? Okay. If the developer can answer the questions that have been
brought up by the Public Hearing.
Lee: Gary Lee with JUB Engineers. I guess I will start with -- I'll do them in order. There
was discussion about the stub streets going into Muir Woods Subdivision and also
going to Los Altos, Hollandale Drive and Knapp Lane. It's true that ACHD had
recommended those stubs to be installed and the City of Meridian staff agreed. At the
ACHD Commission meeting they decided that they'd make a compromise and request
that bollards be installed on those two streets temporarily until the bridge is constructed
across the Ridenbaugh Canal and that road extends to Overland Road in the future and
the bollards could be removed. And as you have seen in your staff comments, they did
make that recommendation. I might just add a key note to this. The traffic study that we
had performed did not anticipate those roads being blocked, except for Knapp Lane and
it was our recommendation that it not go through at this time. So there was traffic
movement through Muir Woods Subdivision. That traffic analysis was reviewed by the
Highway District and approved and they indicated level of service on the intersections
affected were acceptable. The next item talks about -- I think Dave Barclay indicated --
had questions about the water on Victory Road. As far as a requirement of the City of
Meridian, we will have to install water along our frontage. When we extend that water
from Eagle Road through our development, it will be used for future phases and be
positioned along the public road that we have planned for and then when we get to the
first phase we will have to build the water along Victory. It will be a stretch to the
adjacent property frontage and will be available to anyone adjacent to it on either end.
So there will be water there. There will be landscaping along Victory Road. That's been
a concern. The ordinance requires I guess a 25 foot buffer on Victory, as I recall. I
brought along a copy of an aerial topography map that we had prepared for the
preliminary plat and I'll pass this out. It kind of gives you a better representation of
where the houses are in relation to our entry road.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: So, Mr. Lee, while we are looking at that plat there, that thick black line, that was
the 25 foot setback?
Lee: Yes. Along Victory.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 58 of 89
Nary: Is it the landscape buffer that's a berm or is it a landscape buffer that's just flat? I
think the concern was about lights and all those types of things.
Lee: Well, I don't recall exactly what was on the landscape plan and maybe Shari does,
but it can be bermed if that's what the Council would like to see. I don't see a problem
with that. It seems to be the norm of most developments.
Nary: That's what I thought, too, but I just thought I'd ask.
Lee: But not always. But it could be bermed. I don't see any real reason not to. So that I
think addresses the road offset issue. As you can see, the outbound lane on that street
coming out of Sutherland Farms, the headlights are going to come out and it will direct
southerly along the fence line of the pasture. So traffic turning east there may be some
lights that could reflect on their houses as it turns. Most of the traffic in our study
indicated going west. So it shouldn't be impacted that much. We talked about the Knapp
and Hollandale Drive and the level of service; by the way, on Muir Woods Drive and
Cloverdale as a result of this development, they have a level of service C in the morning
peak hours and a level service D in the p.m. I think prior to development they were both
level of service C. So there is some impact, but not enough to warrant any change. We
talked about the berm on Victory Road. The entrance alignment. The sewer that the --
the sewer to this property has to come through Silverstone. The sewer in Thousand
Springs right now is not deep enough to service this property, nor is it in the proper
drainage area for the city. So we have to bring the sewer up through -- from Silverstone
through Sutherland Farm, it's fairly deep, and it's designed to service not only this side,
but all the properties across Victory Road to the south and down Victory Road as well.
So it's fairly deep and that's the only way we can get it through the project. And as I
explained earlier, that we wanted to maintain the ranch operation and reserve the ranch
facility and start our residential phase on the south. And we discussed the height of the
homes along Los Altos Subdivision. We'd like to restrict that to 25 feet, if possible, if you
would be willing to do that. The lot sizes along there that are orientated on the
preliminary plat, most of them are in the 10 to 12 thousand square foot range, so that
they are larger than the R-4. And Mr. Kuntz's comment about park, we did eliminate four
of the seven lots in there. We wanted to maintain at least three lots in that area to try to
help our density overall. We'd like to have something a little higher, but it just wasn't
working out with the amount of transition that we were doing from the smaller lots in the
interior to the larger lots on the exterior. As you can see from the plan it still leaves us a
pretty good open view of the park and eliminating those three lots along the east side of
the park I don't think would really greatly enhance the view. Plus it's a home on a park
that's neighborhood maintained. There is an irrigation pond there. It's fairly sizeable. We
will have to maintain that facility for our irrigation system. I'm not sure if it went to the city
what would happen to that park -- or that pond. So there is some uses there we need for
the development other than just the park. I think I addressed most of the comments that
were brought up. Do you have any questions?
Corrie: I believe we had -- I didn't hear about why the first phase on Victory Road and
not Eagle.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 59 of 89
Lee: Well, the Eagle Road portion is slated for that office area. As you well know, there
is a lot of office facilities coming in on Eagle Road with Silverstone and also El Dorado
and the developer right now doesn't have a buyer who wants to build some office space,
nor a multi-family. If he did I'm sure he would to start there as well. So we are wanting to
declare our presence with the development by starting in a market that we know will sell
fairly quickly and that will be the residential area and those are the large -- some of the
larger lots in that southern area as well that are 8,000 plus square feet and lots ten and
12 thousand square foot lots are along the border. So from a market strategy and also
keeping the operation of the ranch going in the interim, we wanted to do our first three
phases on the south end. It's an economical thing for them to do. Although they still
have quite a bit of off-site cost they are going to have to bear in that first phase. Did I
answer that --
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Mr. Lee, is this an out-parcel right here?
Lee: Yes, it is.
Nary: And the homeowner that you have the agreement with, Mr. Sasser, they are over
on this part?
Lee: They are to the east of that finger on the south on Victory Road. Right there.
Nary: Okay.
Lee: Three five acre parcels which front on Victory Road right there next to each other.
Nary: And who owns the -- so this isn't owned by Sutherland Farms or anything?
Lee: No, it's not.
Nary: Okay.
Lee: The closest neighbor we talked to them about the access in there and ACHD has
made the requirement to provide them access to our commercial collector road.
Nary: One other thing. On this -- on Eagle Road I know there is a buffer requirement as
well. Is that -- does this buffer here look like that or is it taller? Isn't this 25 feet on both
sides?
Lee: It should be 35 feet. I'm not sure how it got put in the way it is on that picture.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 60 of 89
Nary: That's just a drawing, but it's the same on both sides?
Lee: Same on both sides. Yes. I think that's the landscape plan we are looking at. Can't
tell for sure.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: The entrance off of Eagle, what phase is that in?
Lee: That will probably be in -- well, the actual entrance will be built in phase four. There
won't be any platting, I don't believe, along that road; we are just going to plat the
roadway itself to get our second entrance.
De Weerd: So what are you -- I don't have anything that shows me what phase four is,
so how much of that area off of Victory is built out before you get phase four in?
Lee: The design that we have right here -- I think there is 112 lots that we counted in
that area that we will do, but there is a stipulation in your staff comments that we have
to build that access out to Eagle Road at the 101st building permit.
De Weerd: Okay.
Lee: That gives us our second emergency access as well.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Mr. Lee, I'm sure it was already said, but was this is green space here and green
space here? Is that what that is?
Lee: Yes.
Nary: How much -- what is the point of that? It seems so small.
Lee: Well, it is and I think that the only reason it really turned out that way is the design
of the town homes, the dimensions that we thought it required in the longitudinal length
of the lot. That was a leftover area and we didn't want to have a whole lot of people's
back yards backing up against that collector street, so we left that landscaped area.
When those limited office space facilities come in there will be landscaping
requirements along that front as well so it will all blend in.
Nary: Couldn't you put these three lots in there?
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 61 of 89
Lee: Well, that area is a low spot in the property and we had hoped to use it for a storm
water facility. And it's adjacent to that commercial and limited office area and I'm not
sure how it would fit in there effectively. We'd like to have a couple lots against the park.
I think there is higher value in that. Those are fairly sizeable lots, too.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: So you will have open space in what phase?
Lee: Let me grab this other map.
De Weerd: So, then, you have how many people living there before you have open
space? I guess that's a way to do a planned use development, not to have any open
space until your final phase.
Lee: Well, looking at condition -- I think there is a condition in there that we have to build
that park so we have the roadway entrance is the wording. I don't know if Shari
remembers exactly what condition that is. I remember reading that earlier. Certainly
we'd like to get through the first four phases, because that's the area that we are trying
to separate from the horse ranch operation, but it could be included in the phase that is
phase five when we start really getting into the horse ranch operations and all that. And
that would make sense to put it in there, although it's going to be kind of removed from
where phase five is.
De Weerd: Where is phase five?
Lee: It's just west of the open space. The park. Phase five is for the townhouse units
and that loop street just east of the townhouse units.
De Weerd: And what is phase four?
Lee: It's the balance of that southerly piece that goes down the southeast corner. Right
in there.
De Weerd: Oh. Can you put it in in phase four along with the street?
Lee: I could -- well, I guess I could make that suggestion. We want to build that street all
the way out to Eagle Road, because that's going to put us over the 101st home anyway
if we take that much more in. And there may be as far as phase five, if that is part of
phase four, those lots that front that east-west collector street. In the CUP application.
There you got it. The 101st permit. Same with the roadway. We have to come in. I
thought I saw that earlier. I just couldn't remember where.
De Weerd: Well, it talks about permits and not phasing.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 62 of 89
Lee: Right. I guess that makes sense.
De Weerd: So you could be in phase six and not have a building permit on either of
those.
Lee: Okay.
De Weerd: On the street or the open space.
Lee: Could be. I think that 101 number was arrived at as an emergency access more
than anything else. When we do phase four we will have to build the road. And it may
make sense to go ahead build the park then, too.
De Weerd: So rather than stating number of occupancy permits, you would feel
comfortable with stating a phase?
Lee: Yeah. I think it would end up being the same thing as the number.
De Weerd: Now the drawing you gave us with the property owners across the street,
this one house right across from your entrance definitely will be impacted by the cars
coming out of that subdivision. You have mitigation of some of the neighboring
subdivisions. Could you help them with maybe a couple trees in that front to help filter
the headlights?
Lee: Well, the headlights that you're going to get I guess would be the ones turning east
and the number on the traffic study during that time frame is pretty small. As I
remember, it was less than ten during the peak p.m. hours. I don't know if that's a
significant impact to them or not. But it's something we could certainly work with them
on and maybe think about some sort of buffer there, as long as it's not extravagant. But
I wouldn't think the impact wouldn't be that great from the numbers.
De Weerd: Well, studies have been known to be wrong.
Lee: Yeah. That's true, too.
De Weerd: I don't know how you study the behavior of a driver, so -- now Shari also had
mentioned on your landscaping to clarify the dense mixture -- the mixture of the trees
and that berm that's supposed to provide some density. Did you have a landscape plan
that suggested plantings and -- I guess, Shari, that can be worked out with staff.
Lee: I think that's the agreement with the Sassers that you're talking about.
Stiles: Their memorandum of understanding says it will be agreed to -- mutually agreed
to between Sassers and the applicant.

De Weerd: Okay. That's all I have.
Corrie: Any questions? Yes, Gary.
Smith: Mr. Mayor and Council Members, just for the record, this subdivision will be
subjected to a latecomers fee for sewer service through the Silverstone Subdivision and
there may be a -- depending upon the coverage, a well development latecomers fee
also. Those values have not yet been determined, as you're aware, but they will be.
Thank you.
Corrie: Thank you, Gary. Okay. Any other discussion?
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: I know the applicant had mentioned that water would be run down along
Victory, so -- for future development. Sewer needs to be stubbed to the property line as
well. So future development south of Victory would have stubs off that sewer and water;
is that correct, Gary?
Smith: Council Member de Weerd, Mayor and Council, I can't remember the exact
layout of our master plan, but if the master plan requires the area to the south and east
to be served through this area, then it will need to be -- it will need to be stubbed to the
boundaries of the subdivision and we will require that on the basis of our master plan as
their development plan is submitted.
De Weerd: So anyone south of this property should check with you and the master plan,
but you would have water available?
Smith: Yes.
De Weerd: Is that what I understand?
Smith: Yes. Water will be stubbed to the boundary of the subdivision.
De Weerd: Okay.
Corrie: Any other questions? I will entertain a motion to close the Public Hearing at this
point.
McCandless: Mr. Mayor, so moved.
Nary: Second.
Meridian City Council Meeting

Corrie: Motion has been made and seconded to close the Public Hearing on Sutherland
Farms preliminary plat, request for annexation and zoning, and Conditional Use Permit.
Any further discussion? All those in favor of the motion say aye. All the ayes. Motion
carried.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Corrie: Discussion?
De Weerd: I have none.
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Okay. I'll entertain a motion on the request for annexation and zoning of 127.7 --
is that .74 of .64, Shari? One says it's .64 and the other says it's .74. I guess you can
correct that in the minutes there from the thing. So 127.74 acres from RUT to a C-G, L-
O, and R-4 zones for proposed Sutherland Farms by Sutherland Farms, Inc.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I'd move the approval of AZ 02-004, request for annexation and zoning of 127.74
acres from RUT to a C-G, L-O, and R-4 zones for the proposed Sutherland Farms by
Sutherland Farms, Inc., east of South Eagle Road and north of East Victory Road,
pursuant to all the staff comments and recommendations from the Planning and Zoning
Commission. I don't think there is anything else on the annexation. And for Findings of
Facts and Conclusions of Law and Decision and Order to be prepared.
Bird: Second.
Corrie: Motion has been made and seconded to request annexation and zoning. Any
further discussion? Hearing none, roll-call vote, Mr. Berg.
Roll-call vote: McCandless, nay; Nary, aye; DeWeerd, aye; Bird, aye.
Corrie: Okay. Motion is approved.
MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES, ONE NAY.
Corrie: Item No. 20 is a Public Hearing, request for preliminary plat approval of 308
building lots and 30 other lots on 127.64 acres in a proposed L-O, C-G, and R-4 zone
for Sutherland Farms.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 65 of 89
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Before I make a motion I guess there was some discussion on this particular
issue. I think most of the testimony was regarding the preliminary plat and not the
annexation, but I think -- I think the developer has addressed the majority of them or will
address the other ones that are remaining, since I do think the Reyes and the other
folks on Victory Road raise a legitimate point. There may not be a lot of cars today, but
there is going to be a lot of cars in the not too distant future turning out of that
subdivision on Victory Road and so I don't think mitigating that with some trees is an
unreasonable request. I think that's very reasonable and fair. And the phasing issue,
you know, no matter where you start someone doesn't like it, so I don't know that there
really is a whole lot to address with that. I think there is always some business reason
for starting on one place or another. I don't think there is really a whole lot we can do
with that. The issue on the lot sizes, I think the lots are at least a little bit larger, they
could be a little larger than that, you know, I guess it's open to debate, but I don't think
it's an unreasonable amount. The limitation from the height without the story wording is
probably fine. We will be hassling over that for years anyway. I think that the parks
department request, though, on those three lots on that park, I really think I'd agree with
the parks department. Having lived very close to a park that small, three houses right on
top of it I think are a little troubling. I think the parks points are valid. You know, I guess
I'm a little concerned about those three lots there. They have already eliminated four to
make the park a little bit more of a usable open space. I guess I'm a little concerned
about the ability -- I guess the discussions were for me, I don't know if anyone has that
same concern about having that there. I think the rest of that open space is not really
usable. That little tiny green space is not really anything of any note, and the other
place, obviously, it's a swale, so there is not really as much, so I think to make that a
much better situation, I guess it would be my preference that they take those three lots
out and that be one big piece as the park, instead of that one piece and put the houses
on top of it. But I don't know that the other concerns that -- I think the other issues that
we have talked about, the bridge and the bollards to prevent the access are -- I think
everybody is in agreement with, so I think the other thing to address that I guess I just
have a concern about those three lots on the park.
McCandless: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. McCandless.
McCandless: Unfortunately, I'm going to continue being consistent when I vote against
putting numerous subdivisions on roads that are too small to handle them. Victory Road
certainly is and South Eagle Road is no less either. And I just think we should enlarge
the roads, get the infrastructure in there before we start urban sprawl. And I will vote
against it for that reason.
Corrie: Okay. Any comments?
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 66 of 89
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: I guess since that's a homeowner’s association park and so I don't have any
opinion one way or another on the three lots. You know, I would agree that if the city
were ever to take it over, that it would not be considered without -- with those lots in
there and so that's something that the applicant has to keep in mind when they develop
that, if that would ever be a request, if you put those lots in there, don't count on asking
the city to take it over. And maybe that needs to be a note on the plat, so the
homeowners association understands that. I do think there needs to be some mitigation
with the property owner across the street from that entrance for a little screening. We
would need to put in a variance for the height of the eight foot fence or allow the eight
foot fence where it's been noted and, you know, I have concerns as Council Member
McCandless has on streets, but the street counts and the information that we have
doesn't give me any information that says those streets aren't adequate at this time.
ACHD has given them a level of service and I'm not tracking anything there, so I can't --
I would sure love to second-guess them, but I won't. And so, Mr. Nary, good luck on
your motion there.
Corrie: Any other comments?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Okay. I sense -- I will entertain a motion, then, for the preliminary plat.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I guess I'll just see what happens. I would move the approval of PP 02-004,
request for preliminary plat approval for the 308 building lots and 30 other lots on
127.64 or .74 acres in a proposed L-O, C-G and R-4 zones for proposed Sutherland
Farms by Sutherland Farms, Inc., east of South Eagle Road and East Victory Road,
pursuant to the staff comments, recommendation of the Planning and Zoning
Commission and in addition to the testimony tonight that the applicant will assist in
mitigating the light spillage from this subdivision on the adjacent property across Victory
Road, that they will -- let's see. I think that was -- I think that was really the only issue of
concern with that. And that they eliminate the three lots that are currently on the park
and that -- other than that, all the other comments, as well as the comments from the
applicant, and that Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law and Decision and Order
be prepared.
Corrie: Motion has been made. Do I hear a second?
Bird: I'll second it.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 67 of 89
Corrie: Okay. Motion has been made and seconded.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Discussion, Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: Also on the preliminary plat did you want to note the peak height?
Nary: Oh.
De Weerd: Instead of the two stories, the 25 foot? And, as well, the order of phasing?
Nary: In regards to the park?
De Weerd: In regards to the order that it needs to be in. Item No. 12.
Nary: Yeah. Let me see. Which one was the one for the height? Oh. Number 21 of the
site specific requirements, that we could delete the language saying single story, but
keep the language that says peak height of 25 feet or less and -- did you say the --
De Weerd: Yeah.
Nary: Site-specific requirement --
De Weerd: On the phasing schedule.
Nary: I guess I don't really know what the -- about the contiguous issue?
De Weerd: Yeah.
Nary: That it needs to be contiguous to a previously approved phase? I guess I don't --
at this juncture, based on just what was asked, I don't really want to -- I'd rather that it
be contiguous, at least at this juncture until we know a lot more about what it is they
actually want to develop. They can always come and ask to amend it. But at least so we
know it's going to be developed, because I think the concern -- I agree with Mr. Lee, that
he's spent all this money to bring the sewer line and the water line down here, you're
going to finish developing it. There is a big hole in downtown Boise that's got a crane in
it that's not getting developed very quick and so I'd rather it be contiguous until they
have at least some idea of what they want to do differently and they can always ask to
do it differently, then. So if that's okay by the second?
Bird: That's fine with the second.
Nary: Okay.
Corrie: Any other discussion?
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 68 of 89
De Weerd: No.
Corrie: Okay. Roll-call vote, Mr. Berg.
Roll-call vote: McCandless, nay; Nary, aye; DeWeerd, aye; Bird, aye.
MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES, ONE NAY.
Corrie: All right. I will entertain a motion on the request for a Conditional Use Permit,
005.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I move the approval of CUP 02-005, request for a Conditional Use Permit for a
Planned Unit Development for residential, commercial, and office park development by
Sutherland Farms, east of South Eagle Road and north of East Victory Road, pursuant
to staff comments and recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission and for
Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law and Decision and Order to be prepared.
Bird: Second.
Corrie: Okay. Motion has been made and seconded. Any further comments or
discussion?
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: It seems to me like we have had some comments on the open spaces that
need to be built as well. Did you want to make that contingent on building permits or
phasing?
Nary: Well, the problem I guess I have with the phasing is the phasing is decided by the
developer, so I guess I don't want to get in an argument that we figure on phase four
and they figure on phase three and I don't know that we could really enforce that. The
development permits are a mechanism to enforce that, because that's at least
something we have control over the outcome of how that gets issued, but phasing is
simply -- in the final plat stage they can come back and develop the ground the way
they want to build it and they are going to build it based on market and I think it's just
hard for us to enforce it if we do it based on that and I think that using the building code
is the tool the city has to do that.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 69 of 89
De Weerd: Can you -- for a phase -- a phasing -- phase four or 101 building permits,
whichever is sooner?
Nary: Well, I think he said they were the same thing. I think his testimony was that they
would be built -- by the time they got to building 101 homes that would be phase four.
They wouldn't be 101 homes and not build a park, so -- unless you want to -- it's
difficult, I guess, from a marketing standpoint to try to force when is that park the right
time to develop. The figure 101 is at least something that is agreeable and was realistic
on the amount that was being sold, so -- yeah. I think it's on the CUP -- or on the
preliminary plat, but I think -- it's on the preliminary plat.
De Weerd: It has the eight-foot fence.
Nary: Yes. It has the eight-foot fence as a condition, so -- so I don't think there is really
anything to change in the recommendation.
Corrie: There was a second?
Bird: Yes. Second.
Corrie: Motion has been made and seconded for the request for Conditional Use Permit.
Any further discussion? Roll-call vote, Mr. Berg.
Roll-call vote: McCandless, nay; Nary, aye; DeWeerd, aye; Bird, aye.
Corrie: Approved three-one.
MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES, ONE NAY.
Item 22: Public Hearing: AZ 01-015
Request for annexation and zoning of 34.60
Utility Subdivision
acres from RUT to I-L and L-O zones for proposed by
Falcon Creek, LLC – 3365 North Ten Mile Road:
Item 23: Public Hearing: PP 01-017
Request for Preliminary Plat approval of 11
building lots on 34.60 acres in proposed I-L and L-O zones for proposed
Utility Subdivision
by Falcon Creek, LLC – 3365 North Ten Mile Road:
Corrie: Okay. Item No. 22 and 23 is a Public Hearing. This is on the Utility Subdivision
by Falcon Creek, 3365 North Ten Mile Road. And at this time I will open the Public
Hearing on both the annexation and zoning and preliminary plat. And will invite staff's
comments first. Same way with the Public Hearing, the developer has five minutes and
the other people on the sign-up sheet are -- where they are now -- would have three
minutes.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 70 of 89
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: I just still have one comment and I'm sorry that most of the neighbors left,
but on the Sutherland Farms, we realize that traffic is an issue, but we have some major
business parks going in, in that area. If we don't put housing there, we are creating even
more traffic, because people won't live near where they work and that has been a goal
of the Council is trying to get that kind of situation and get people living around where
they are working and, boy, Cherie, if I could figure out how to get roads first, I would be
beating that door with you. Unfortunately, ACHD I think is in the same situation, we are
always behind the dime.
Corrie: Or the nickel, as the case may be. Okay. All right. Thank you. Staff.
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, this property was the item of the discussion in a previous
application that was before the City Council for request for a text amendment to the
Meridian Comprehensive Plan. This application does still fall under the existing
Comprehensive Plan and not the new Comprehensive Plan. The applicant has changed
the proposal to request a light industrial zone for two lots on the northern boundary of
the property where they are proposing that the -- a waste transfer station and the
Sanitary Services Company be permitted to go in. I'd just like to remind Council that a
Conditional Use Permit was not submitted as part this application, so any conditions
that you might place on this would have to be included in the annexation and if that
includes some of the details of any site specific details they have provided, that you
have -- that you specifically note those so it is included in the development agreement.
As a result of a request for a Comp Plan text amendment, the City Council did approve
a text change to allow -- to add one sentence that said limited light industrial uses may
be considered in the area immediately adjacent to the wastewater treatment plant.
However, no map amendment was approved at that time. With the request for light
industrial zoning immediately adjacent to the wastewater treatment plant and the
remainder of the property left at L-O, the current Comprehensive Plan does not
currently support that zoning. The one-acre park that's previously shown on the plan
has been removed. This cul-de-sac has been shortened from the cul-de-sac originally
shown. Also they have provided flag lots to provide access direct frontage and street
access to this lot and also this lot. They have submitted elevations for the Sanitary
Service office maintenance building and waste transfer station. The Planning and
Zoning Commission did recommend denial of this application due in part to their
determination that the use did not constitute light industrial use. Meridian city code does
define that light industrial zone as encouraging the development of manufacturing and
wholesale establishments which are clean, quiet, and free of hazardous and
objectionable elements such as noise, odor, dust, smoke, glare and that are operated
entirely or almost entirely within enclosed structures, uses incompatible with light
industrial not permitted and strip development is prohibited. This was from the staff --
the staff report dated June 10th, 2001. The applicant has -- the representative has
submitted a letter dated June 7th, 2002. There has to be an error on this date, June
10th, 2001. It has to be 2002, I think. We do have a letter from the applicant's
representative outlining some additional considerations for this project. They are
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 71 of 89
discussing things that would be appropriate in a mixed-use classification of MU-WTP.
That classification does not yet exist. They have proposed that all developments
proposed in the MU-WTP area will require approval as a planned development through
the conditional use process. The uses that they are proposing would include normal
residential uses -- actually, this is from a work session the City Council discussed this.
Existing residential uses may remain. Professional office uses were acceptable.
Warehousing uses, flex space uses, office/warehouse uses, business park uses, and
mini storage. We would not have a particular argument with that should that actually be
put into our zoning ordinance and designated as such within the zoning ordinance. The
only issue we may have -- I know we have included in the Comprehensive Plan, but we
would need a better definition of what a business park was, if that were to be included
as a permitted use. Unless you have questions for me, I will let the audience speak for
themselves. I know the applicant's representative is here and she is ready to answer
any of your questions. I believe one request that the staff would have, should you
choose to approve this annexation and zoning, is that all of the uses require going
through a conditional use permit and that the uses allowed in the development
agreement be very specific as to the type of uses that will be permitted with a
Conditional Use Permit. That's all I have, unless you have further questions of me.
Corrie: Okay. Any questions of staff?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Okay. Is the applicant here this evening? The representative? Okay. What we
have here, usually we have five minutes for a Public Hearing and we are using two of
them, so you have ten minutes. You don't have to use it if you don't need to. Raise your
right hand. Is the testimony you're about to give the truth, the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth, so help you God?
Ford: Yes.
Corrie: Name and address, please.
Ford: Good evening, Honorable Mayor, City Council Members, for the record Ashley
Ford, Hubble Engineering, 71 South Allen Street in Meridian. I'm here tonight
representing Falcon Creek LLC, the applicant on the subdivision and SSC, the applicant
regarding the transfer station. Tonight we are before you with a request for annexation
and zoning of lots one and two to I-L, zoning of lots three through 11 to L-0, the
approval of Utility Park Subdivision and approval of the development agreement for an
office with four shop areas and a waste transfer station on lot two. As Shari mentioned
at the April 17th, 2002, work session, the Council recognized that this property needed
a special land use designation due to the approximately to the Meridian waste treatment
plant. The Council directed staff to create a new land use classification, a Mixed Use
Waste Treatment Plan to the site. At the work session the Council discussed the type of
uses that would be appropriate to the new mixed-use classification. Shari has outlined
those for you. I-L does not seem an appropriate land use within the land use
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 72 of 89
classification. The Council also indicated that the proposed L-O zoning would be an
appropriate transition buffer between the I-L for the northern portion of the site and the
residential subdivision to the south. We do understand there are a number of concerns
that the Planning and Zoning Commission and city staff have in regards to a transfer
station for the site. Staff is concerned regarding the design of the transfer station's lack
of means to secure the northern elevation of the building. Color photos have been
provided to staff and I believe Shari has those in the presentation and they show other
transfer stations that are located in Idaho. Typically these facilities do not have closing
doors and if they were placed on this transfer station, these doors would remain up
during normal business hours. The only reason for such facilities to have doors is to
provide security measures. With the proposed security fencing that we have around the
site, we are requesting not to put one on the facility. The orientation of the building is
such that it's facing away from the residential uses and towards the treatment plant.
Now as staff mentioned it's several hundred feet away from the residences. We realize
there are concerns in regards to noise, odor, and litter and the potential impact to the
surrounding neighbors. Steve Sedlacek of SSC is here tonight and has taken noise
readings at their facilities at Franklin Road, locations near the subdivision, and the Latah
County transfer station. A copy of these results should have been included in your
packet and I will get Steve the opportunity to address these findings in a few moments.
Landscaping and berming will help buffer any noise transmission on the site. A detailed
landscaping plan showing the height of the berm and the type of landscaping has been
submitted with this application. The applicant is requesting Council to keep in mind a
fully landscaped berm will provide -- will be provided on the southern part, which will
have mature landscaping by the time the transfer station will be built in five years. Trees
are excellent for breaking up noise is common to this Commission. Solid walls are
where you have issues with the noise bouncing off the wall and bouncing up and out. It
is also likely buildings in the propose office portion of the project will already be
constructed, thus providing even more of a sound barrier between the residences and
the site. The compactor for the transfer station is located within the building and is
enclosed in a concrete encasement to help buffer the noise radiated. But this also help
keep out any sort of debris, trash, litter from leaving the facility. The compactor is an
electric motor, which is very different noise wise from a hydraulic motor. Noise should
be the equivalent to that of a waste treatment plant and, like I said, I will have Steve
maybe elaborate a little bit more on that. In regards to the issue with litter and odor, both
DEQ and Central District Health will require a litter and odor control plan before any
permits for this site will be issued. Also, it should be understood that the waste is
compact somewhat to that of a brick. A summary of the solid waste industry regulations
has been provided for you and your staff report and, again, I will let Steve comment on
that. The next item of concern is regards to the landscaping and fencing of Lot 2, Block
1. Shari, can you put up the detailed site plan. Is there not one in there?
Stiles: Let me check. Just a second. Sorry.
Ford: Okay. No problem. For the Sanitary Service site, the applicant is requesting to
landscape only the portion of Lot 2, Block 1 that will be developed at this time, which is
roughly right in here. There are not any uses planned on the western portion of the
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 73 of 89
property. If and when expansion of the site occurs it will be most likely ten to 15 years in
the future and will be required to go through the CUP process. The applicant asks that
the Council realize that there is such a large amount of landscaping and that they are
trying to be a good neighbor by providing more than the required landscaping along the
southern boundary and providing the temporary landscape buffer that runs north-south
midway through the site. The portion that is not landscaped will be maintained by
mowing, so that portion of the property does not become unsightly or noxious. We do
plan on providing security fencing within the boundary of Lot 2. We do understand staff
has concerns with the fencing not being visually appealing and that the fencing will not
be able to be seen once the landscaping is mature. A diagram of the typical fence and
berm has been provided to the Council, I think an 11 by 22 was provided to you today. It
shows a six foot high security fence placed within the property boundary with 12 -- 12
and a half feet of berm with lawn on a three-to-one slope, which will provide an
estimated height of four feet. A tall evergreen will be provided with a mature height of 20
feet and then an additional 12 and a half feet of berm to the parking line. The next item
of concern is regarding the environmental impact statement. Staff recommends that the
applicant be required at a minute to provide an EIS assessment for the site and the
purpose of its uses. The applicant contends this is not necessary for the following
reasons. First, the federal regulation for the EPA, DEQ, and Central District Health, will
meet or exceed any requirement associated with an EIS and the federal regulations for
these agencies do not require an EIS for a transfer station. The activities associated
with a transfer station will occur within concrete walls in a building and any discharge
will be contained in a sand and grease trap, which will be regulated by DEQ. The
applicant will not be discharging any material into either creek abutting the property.
Again, lists of these regulations have been provided to Council. The applicant is in
agreement with staff's recommendations of the hours of operation. However, we would
like to modify the condition to include: With the exception of departing commercial
trucks. These trucks do have commercial pick up which necessitates leaving the facility
at 5:00 a.m. in the morning. The next issue is in regard to the required pathways along
the Nine Mile Drain and Five Mile Creek. The parks department requiring a ten-foot
pathway outside the western property line, the properties right along the Nine Mile Drain
and File Mile Creek. Nampa-Meridian Irrigation District has an agreement to make a
new waterway. The main issues we see are the following: First, the pathways will be
outside of our property boundary. We understand that the city and the district do have
an agreement to put pathways along canals and ditches, but plans would have to be
submitted six months in advance to be approved. Second, the Five Mile Creek is the
only designated pathway within the Comp Plan. We did compromise with staff of the
Planning and Zoning Commission and agree to construct a pathway. The Nine Mile
Drain does not have a pathway, or does it go anywhere. Staff was in agreement that
this pathway did not make a lot of sense. Inglewood Subdivision to the south does not
have a pathway and there were considerable questions by staff if there were an
adequate easement. Therefore, we request the release of this portion of the condition.
While we agree to construct the path along Five Mile Creek, the parks department is
requiring a ten-foot pathway. However, there are many examples to the city that there
are only five-foot pathways and you can select the verification of what is being required.
We realize the neighbors have concerns that this development will change the rural
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 74 of 89
character of the vicinity. However, any development will generate more traffic than what
is there already. The site is not surrounded by residential uses on all sides, which needs
to be understood. There is a treatment plant to the north and agricultural land use to the
west. The applicant is proposing L-O, which will provide a significant buffer between the
proposed industrial use and the residential use. I'd like to reiterate that we are
approximately 800 feet from the nearest residential use. It is the belief of the applicant
that these issues have been addressed to the best of our ability and that the applicant
has worked with the City of Meridian to find acceptable uses for this site. Staff, the
Commission, and the Council have agreed that residential uses are not what is
envisioned. The Council did recognize that unique circumstances are placed on the site
with regard to being next to a sewage treatment plant and thus changed the Comp Plan
text accordingly. A certified traffic study was submitted to ACHD for development citing
traffic numbers generated by the uses, including the transfer station. ACHD has
approved this application. The transfer station will take access off the proposed local
road within the development. The subdivision does abut two minor arterials which
ACHD agrees can accommodate such a development. There was a consent at the
Planning and Zoning Commission regarding the site lying in a flood plain. This site does
lie within the 500-year flood plain and we have received verification from the Ada county
engineer that this use is permitted. All in all, if the applicant does not agree -- does not
abide by any of the conditions of our approval, they have the City of Meridian and the
federal and the state and the local agencies that can shut them down. Before I give
Steve a chance to come up with concerns, he can explain further the noise study and
the agency regulations, I would like to request one item from the Council. Steve's facility
has burned down. Basically, SSC needs to move forward with a new site. We request
approval of the annexation and zoning, preliminary plat and a transfer station by a
development agreement. However, if you can't approve the transfer station this evening,
we ask approval for the other applications. We feel that staff can recommend approval
of those as well and be happy to answer any questions.
Corrie: Any questions? Okay. Perhaps Steve can come up on rebuttal at the end.
Ford: Okay.
Corrie: Okay. This is a Public Hearing. I have a few here that signed up for it. Is there
anyone for the subdivision? Steve Sedlacek. You can have three minutes of that time if
you'd like. Is the testimony you're about to give the truth, the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth, so help you God?
Sedlacek: It is.
Corrie: And your name and address, please.
Sedlacek: My name is Steve Sedlacek, 723 West Franklin. I'm the business manager
for Sanitary Services. I just wanted to hit a few points. Actually, it's -- don't have much
time, it's getting late tonight. The first question I had for Council tonight was, as Shari
accurately pointed out, the P&Z Commission said to us last month that basically they
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 75 of 89
kind of liked the layout of that subdivision, I-L on the north, and putting in the mixed
office use, but they said, quite frankly, that Sanitary Services is not allowed in an I-L
zone and I suspect that it's because of the Section 11-7 in the zoning ordinance that
says you cannot generate odor, noise, glare and some other items. Although in Section
11-8 of the zoning ordinance it says that permitted use in an industrial zone is a solid
waste transfer station, a contractor's yard, those are the things that we are going to do
on this parcel and the reason why we have come to you and told you exactly what we
are going to do is so that everybody knows -- you know, we are not hiding anything from
anybody, we don't want to get it zoned in a certain way and then start building different
types of buildings, we just want to be open and up front with everybody. So that's why
we have requested, since these are permitted uses according to the zoning ordinance,
we have requested that they not be conditionally permitted. I do have to seek a
Conditional Use Permit from DEQ that is enforced by the health districts. I guess
another point to make, Ashley had mentioned that we were going to build a transfer
station in five years. We don't know that. We don't know if we are going to build a
transfer station. This is a tool that we are going to need to service this community,
perhaps, if we have to do long haul transfer of waste out of this town. Now it might be
that we need it and it might not, I'm just not sure. But I'm going to tell you up front that
this is a thing that we might have to have. Secondly, I guess the first question I'm hoping
you will answer tonight is can we get an I-L zone and if the answer is no, I guess the
rest of my discussion is sort of mute, but let me go through it anyway. We did do a noise
study -- there were some questions that the neighbors have about noise, basically what
we did was we came up with a noise survey that we have handed out to you. We used
the Latah County transfer station as a surrogate and we took noise measurements.
Basically we found that 800 feet away, which would be the nearest residence, you're not
going to be able to discern the noise from the traffic on Ten Mile and Ustick. Indeed, the
neighbors are impacted by noise and it's noise from traffic and that traffic is going to get
worse when Bridgetower goes in and Lochsa Falls and whatever besides Sanitary
Services that goes into this parcel, traffic is going to get worse and I don't know what to
do about that. And my times about out, I guess that's my comment right there, so I'll
leave it at that. Thank you.
Corrie: Is there anyone else that would like to testify in favor? Okay. We have Janet -- is
the testimony you're about to give the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so
help you God?
Wilder: It is.
Corrie: State your name and address.
Wilder: Janet Wilder, 3340 North Ten Mile Road.
Corrie: Okay.
Wilder: I just had a few comments about waste transfer stations. I was curious as to
what they were and so I made a trip down to Twin Falls to look at their transfer station
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 76 of 89
there. I found it out in their industrial area. There were no houses around it. It had
Amalgamated Sugar was to one side of it and Monroc was across the street from it. I
don't remember what the other businesses were, but in back of it was open space.
There were no residential. We were down there -- my daughter went down with me and
it was probably 4:00 or 4:30 when we were down there, so we weren't there at the
busiest time, but it still was noisy. There was something inside the building that you
heard clanking. I don't know what it was, but it was noisy and we were to the street, I
don't know how far away it was, but I found it noisy. We did stop at Wendell on the way
back and it serves I guess Wendell and Gooding, it's out between Wendell and
Gooding, clear out in the country and nothing around it, but a salvage yard or graveyard
for cars across the street from it and they did have rubbish piled up in a berm, they had
a bunch of refrigerators and appliances piled outside the building and another brush pile
that was piled up real high with brush and pallets and things in it. So I certainly don't
want to see that in the neighborhood. I don't think this is the place for a waste transfer
station. There are too many neighbors. Recently you turned down Blumacs Bar in Old
Town Meridian for basically the same reason, just didn't fit in the neighborhood. I would
ask you to use the same consideration here. Another concern that I have is medical
waste, what sort of hazards are they going to pose for the neighborhood. Let's see. I
guess maybe that's it. So thank you.
McCandless: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. McCandless.
McCandless: Mrs. Wilder?
Wilder: Yes.
McCandless: Would you object to the trucks being out there without the transfer station?
Wilder: From what I understand from people that work on the trucks, have anything to
do with the trucks themselves when they are empty, that they are very smelly when they
are empty. I have -- I know someone that is a mechanic that has worked on them and
they just shudder when they have to work on them, because they do contain an odor
and so for that reason I probably would be opposed to the trash trucks being there. I
think there are some other uses. The office use and that probably wouldn't be
objectionable, but there is rodents, you know, that are going to come with smell and
trash. Seagulls. Now that's the other thing at the Twin Falls station that we saw were
Seagulls present. So, you know, my answer would be, no, I guess, that I wouldn't want
to see them there.
McCandless: Thank you.
Wilder: Okay.
Meridian City Council Meeting

Page 77 of 89
Corrie: Okay. Charles Crane. Is the testimony you're about to give the truth, the whole
truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Crane: Yes, it is.
Corrie: Name and address, please.
Crane: Charles Crane, 3610 West Ustick Road. I'm the human that lives west of this
where it's supposed to agricultural. I'd like to characterize this neighborhood as a family
neighborhood. There is a new grade school going in on the south side of Ustick that's
almost completed now. There is families all over across the street. My house I have a
family, I have a child, and the new Bridgetower Subdivision is going to be families. So I
don't like to hear this being characterized as an industrial garbage dump. This is a
family neighborhood and I disagree strongly with them calling it something else. I'm a
little jealous of the Sutherland Farms developers to hear the developer working with the
neighborhood voluntarily putting in parks and worrying about fences and berms without
neighborhoods trying to force that out of them. I'm a little jealous of that. I would like to
see a lot more details on this if it does proceed. The landscape plan for one is not very
detailed. I was looking through the city's landscape ordinance and I need a clarification
from the Council. The pathways and the greenbelt, I was looking at classifications for
uses and you have a class one through five on the land use intensity classifications and
in class one we have single family homes and parks. I was wondering what
classification the pathway greenbelt would be? Would that be considered a park for this
classification as intensity?
Nary: Yes.
Crane: Yes, it would be? Okay. And then in the city ordinance class five, which is the
most intense use, recycling, light industrial listed. So according to the city ordinance, if I
read it properly, if you have a class five use next to a class one use, you need to have a
35 foot landscaping zone on that more intense use and their landscaping plan shows no
landscaping over on the borders of my property. The most recent one I saw at Planning
& Zoning has no landscaping at all. So I would like a lot more detail if this is to progress
at all, since there is not a CUP. The one person that hasn't been represented at the
meeting is the residence that's very close to this, the Ten Mile transfer -- or the storage
unit has a live-in manager there. She did express some nervousness. She didn't want to
come to the meeting, because her boss is involved in Bridgetower and she doesn't want
to lose her job, but she was very concerned being very close to where this is, right
across the Five Mile ditch. Okay. Thank you.
Corrie: Any questions? Thank you. Cheryl Hennings? Is the testimony you're about to
give the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Hennings: It is.
Corrie: Okay. Your name and address, please.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 78 of 89
Hennings: My name is Cheryl Hennings and I live at 2696 North Morello here in
Meridian. Seven months ago I spent two enjoyable days meeting all of the people in my
subdivision as I went door to door collecting petition signatures against what was being
propose for the property at the corner of Ten Mile and Ustick. One of my new neighbors
signed the petition, but informed me that what I was doing was useless and would make
absolutely no difference. I was shocked. He just shook his head as I left. Well, nothing
has changed since those two cold days in January, except when I went around the two
days it was really really hot. My neighbors continue to support efforts to have this parcel
zoned in such a way that the integrity of our part of town not be compromised and my
skeptical neighbor still shakes his head and now smiles at the same time. We maintain
that industrial as it stands is not appropriate for this land. Mixed use or less would give
us peace of mind that each and every request would have to meet conditional use
criteria. This vulnerable piece of property needs the utmost development protection.
This is the wrong location for a waste transfer station and recycling facility. Communities
throughout our state have located their waste transfer stations well outside of their
towns, not in the midst of existing residential development. And for good reason.
Despite the optimistic statements given, there will be debris, there will be noise, there
will be odor, more than we already have. We already live with cows and the treatment
plant and that's plenty. And there will be a significant increase in large truck traffic.
Meridian neighborhoods are protected from noise pollutions in her own ordinance.
Please protect this piece of property, the surrounding neighborhoods, and the
community from inappropriate development. Thank you.
Corrie: Thank you. I can't read this -- the first name is George. Name last?
George: John George.
Corrie: John George. Is the testimony you're about to give the truth, the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth, so help you God?
George: It is.
Corrie: Okay. Name and address, please.
George: John George, 3070 North Turnberry Way. I'm also a board member of the
homeowners association for Dakota Ridge, approximately 1/8th of a mile west of the
proposed site. Pretty much the facts that I have to bring to your attention have been
mentioned. Let me emphasize on the trash truck traffic. At the Planning and Zoning
Committee meeting we figured as a group there would be approximately 100 trips per
day -- 100 trips per day within a five-year period. The safety issue with Ponderosa
Elementary School going in, again, I'd like to emphasize that. Children going home on
their bicycles, walking along the roads with that increased traffic is a big concern. The
stench -- basically I don't care how you camouflage it, it's a dump. We as an association
do not want this facility built. We ask that you deny admitting I-L zoning. Thank you very
much.

Corrie: Thank you. Mark Reese. Is the testimony you're about to give the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Reese: I do.
Corrie: Name and address, please.
Reese: My name is Mark Reese. I live at 3081 North Dakota Ridge -- sorry. North
Turnberry Way in Dakota Ridge. I deny from many reasons. It seems to be that's a very
illogical thing to put a dump site in an industrial area and not mix in a place where
people live, so urge you to think carefully and deny. Thank you.
Corrie: Thank you. Mark Madsen. Dana Borquist. Is the testimony you're about to give
the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Borquist: Yes, it is.
Corrie: Name and address, please.
Borquist: Dana Borquist. 3125 West Gallant Court in the Hartford Subdivision. It's a new
Hubble Homes subdivision. First of all, I'd like to say when we went to the Hubble Home
office asking what was going to be potentially built in that new -- in that field to the west
of us, they told us a nice city park. We dealt with Hubble, but I'm not associated with
Hubble, but I can't say for sure, but I'll bet you anything if you go in there tomorrow and
ask the gals that work in that office, they will tell you a park is going to be built over
there and that's all. It's really misleading. I am definitely against this waste transfer
treatment center going in in this area. I know that the applicant needs this business, I
know that we all need it as consumers, but this is not the right place for it and if you look
at all the beautiful homes that picture showed and then the yellow building, it just does
not go with the neighborhood. I understand we live close to the wastewater treatment
center. However, if the zoning shown is proper -- and it sounds like it is and they are
trying to change the zoning that's already in place, you can have storage units or offices
-- plenty of people will have their business there as far as warehousing or things like
that, it's not going to be a problem to find potential customers. I would also like to
publicly thank the Planning and Zoning Commission for listening to us and denying this
request or saying they are against it. I don't know exactly the right terms to say, but it
kind of shows that if people get together and have a cause that sometimes they are
heard and I appreciate that and I appreciate your time in this matter. I would just like to
ask you to honestly to sit down and think if you were living in our neighborhoods if you
would want this in your backyard and I know the answer would be no. Again, I would
like to thank you for your consideration in denying this for the applicant. There are many
other places I think that is proper. They might have to spend a little more money and a
little more time finding those places, but they do exist. Thank you.

Corrie: Thank you. That takes care of the ones that signed up. Is there anyone else
from the public that would like to issue testimony? Yes. Is the testimony you're about to
give the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Cody: Yes.
Corrie: Name and address, please.
Cody: My name is Charles Cody. I live at 3691 West Niemann. That's in Dakota Ridge
Subdivision. And I have a couple concerns by this type of operation. I find that this is the
first time in my experience of anywhere I have lived that this type of operation was trying
to move into an established neighborhood. Usually the complaint is the neighbors
moving into these places knowing that this operation was, in fact, there and they had no
complaints. Most of the neighbors have made it very clear how we feel on this and for
the health reasons and such and such. I have a couple of points that I would like to also
make. First of all, Steve did make a statement here tonight that he wasn't trying to hide
anything and I think that's pretty much true, because you just can't hide a dump. The
birds will seek it out, the rodents and the stench and the noise. Then there was a cover
up -- and everybody realizes once you let a cat out of the bag -- it's easy to let the cat
out of the bag, but it's awful hard to put it back and who is going to have to patrol for
this? Once these things are in operation you have a tendency to forget about the
controls and forget about the neighbors and it progressively gets bigger and bigger and
they talk about a recycling center here also and they don't want to talk about the noise.
With every recycling center I have ever went to all the operators have earmuffs on. Well,
I don't understand that. If it isn't going to go into the neighborhood, why would they be
concerned about noise? Then they discuss about a path, they wanted to pave a path
and make it look nice. A path to where? Who is going to walk a path in a dump area
next to a waste treatment plant? Maybe the homeless or the dope dealers. I don't know.
I sure certainly wouldn't want to find out. Well, that just about has it with me. I just feel
that this is not a healthy situation to put in a neighborhood. It doesn't have their
problems. I sympathize with Steve and his operation. As has been stated here tonight,
we do need it, but also, again, as has been stated, this is not the place to put this type
of operation. Thank you.
Corrie: Thank you. Anyone else? Okay. Council, questions while the Public Hearing is
still open?
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Is Mrs. Stiles here?
Corrie: Oh, I forgot. Steve, you do have five minutes here after we are -- for some of the
questions that the people have brought up. I apologize.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 81 of 89
Ford: Ashley Ford. Well, you have listened to me talk a lot and we could get Steve back
up here, but he has given me some of his notes and let me be the bad guy up here.
One thing that I did forget to note in my presentation was that we were going -- we are
not going through a CUP process, but, yes, we are asking that the Council consider this
as a part of our development agreement, which is essentially going to be the same as
going through a conditional use process. Staff has even made the statement in the staff
report that we had submitted all the requirements of a CUP application, the landscape
plan, the elevations, et cetera, and so hopefully if you look at your annexation, if you do
decide to agree to approve that tonight, then we can work out the details and put it in
the development agreement. It is a legally binding document. Regarding the trash, you
know, I guess there is trash at some waste transfer stations. This one will not. Yes,
residents can come and drop off their trash to this waste transfer station, but it won't be
left at the gate like some of these other stations are allowed to do. Steve has a lot of
pride in his business and will not allow that. Also we are subject to conditions of
approval, so at anytime if we are not complying with the conditions of approval of
Meridian staff and Planning and Zoning, they and all the other agencies, that our
permits can be pulled, plain and simple. So you can make that a condition of approval.
Regarding the landscaping on the southwest border along Mr. Crane, we will meet any
landscaping requirements of the ordinance. Plain and simple. We will meet that. If that's
your requirement, we will be there. Regarding traffic, like I said, we meet ACHD
standards. A hundred trips per day, that's really nothing on minor arterials, as we all
know. Minor arterials can hold up to 15,000 vehicle trips per day. We know that this
portion of Ustick will be made into four lanes. When that will happen I don't know, but
we know that that -- it is classified as a minor arterial, that is the purpose of those
arterials is to take the traffic. I heard many residents say this is a dump. This is not a
dump. This is a waste transfer station. Basically it's trucks -- it's smaller trucks loading
the trash into -- compacted trash, like a brick, into larger trucks. It's in the facility. It's
confined to the facility within concrete walls. That's what needs to be understood. In
regards to Steve's comments, transfer stations are mostly in rural areas. Unfortunately,
there are few rural areas remaining in Meridian. They are looking at all zoned property
in Meridian. We don't collect medical waste. There is a small amount in residential
waste -- the residential waste stream, there is no impact to the public and others. There
have been no complaints from the current facility and they are only 75 feet away from a
4-plex and, once again, we will have to meet all the regulations for odor and noise and
litter, with all the agencies, DEQ, Central District Health, et cetera. And I'll be happy to
stand for any questions.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Ms. Ford, I'm curious. An issue that was of some concern to the Planning and
Zoning Commission was the definition of light industrial and how this facility as a waste
transfer station -- I don't know that there was discussion in regards to the parking lot for
trucks. Since this is a waste transfer station, we have the definition that talked about
hazards and objectionable elements, such as noise, odors, dust, and that it is operated
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 82 of 89
entirely within an enclosed structure. What I heard you say earlier is that you don't want
this to be an enclosed structure, you want it to be open on one side.
Ford: Open on one side, that's true, but the transfer takes place within a concrete --
within concrete walls which is further back into the facility.
Nary: But I think what's contemplated by the ordinance is a building.
Ford: If that's a make or break situation on this, we will put a door in it. What we are
trying to explain is during normal business hours that would be open due to the trucks
moving in and so forth. So that would be Council's call. We will comply with conditions
that you place on us. Waste transfer stations don't have that third door, but --
Corrie: Any questions?
Ford: Thank you.
Nary: Mrs. Stiles, I was just curious, I guess. I wondered if we were going to fight this
battle forever, but under the new zone in the new comp plan, if they started all over
again once that is finalized, wouldn't this fit within those -- what's contemplated there? I
think it was fairly left wide open. Couldn't we basically be back having the same
discussion again?
Stiles: Well, the uses that were proposed for that Mixed Use Wastewater Treatment
Plant area were the ones that are listed in Ashley's letter of June 7, 2002. Those are the
ones that were discussed with the professional office use, warehousing, flex space use,
office warehouse use, business park use, and mini-storage.
Nary: I guess my question is is that if we were to deny this application based on the
reasoning that the Planning and Zoning Commission used that it didn't fit the light
industrial zone, once the new Comprehensive Plan was in place it would, in theory, fit in
that -- in the zone that's contemplated for that area at that point, so we would still be
arguing about the conditional use, but we wouldn't be arguing about zone; is that
correct?
Stiles: I think there are light industrial uses within those uses I just discussed, but some
of those would fit within that light industrial use, yes.
Nary: Thank you.
Corrie: Tom.
Kuntz: Mr. Mayor and Council, just to go on public record in regards to the preliminary
plat, the parks staff recommends a pathway -- ten foot wide pathway with a 30 foot
easement buffer along the Nine Mile -- excuse me -- Five Mile Creek, because it is a
main corridor -- pedestrian corridor that will link up to Tulley Park, will link up with
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 83 of 89
Bridgetower, will link up with Meridian Road, which is currently linked with Tulley Park
now. It's important that we have landscaped easements so that people will use it, but we
also feel like there needs to be a pedestrian pathway along the Nine Mile to service the
subdivision south of Ustick Road to link up with the Five Mile Creek Pathway. Also in
comments we have asked for the developer to bond or put in place monies to help pay
for a bridge, pedestrian bridge, that would go across Nine Mile. And those comments
are all contained in the Planning and Zoning prior meetings. Thank you, Mayor.
Corrie: Okay. Thank you. Any other questions from Council?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Okay. I will entertain a motion to close the Public Hearing.
McCandless: Mr. Mayor, so moved.
Corrie: Mrs. McCandless moved. Do I hear a second?
Nary: Second.
Corrie: Okay. Motion has been made and seconded to close the Public Hearing. Any
further discussion? All in favor?
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: Staff has said something that it looks like the applicant would like to respond
to. I think the applicant should have that chance.
Corrie: I'm sorry. I didn't even see you. Okay.
Ford: Thank you. Make this brief. Regarding the ten foot paved pathway, we were going
to do that along the Five Mile, we agreed to that, we just want clarification as to why it
needed to be ten feet. Regarding the Nine Mile, regarding the bridge, this is the first we
have heard of a bridge. And, second, regarding the Nine Mile -- the conditions of staff,
they have made the recommendation that that can go away, because it doesn't lead
anywhere and it doesn't make a lot of sense for the site. So we are in partial agreement
with that condition. Like I said, I just wanted some clarification from Tom Kuntz on the
nine feet. But the bridge, this is news to us and we request that that be deleted.
Corrie: Tom?
Kuntz: Mayor and Council, the ten foot wide hard surface pathways is a standard that
we have adopted. There is other developments that we can show to verify that to the
developer. The bridge issue, there is nothing new. If you go back through our comments
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 84 of 89
to Planning and Zoning, I can show the developer that the bridge was an issue and is
an issue. And, again, we -- the parks staff feels like the link to the Five Mile Creek
pathway along the Nine Mile is important for those subdivisions, Dakota Ridge,
Inglewood to the south, so that the kids don't have to go to the intersection and go up to
the Five Mile. Now that link may not have to be ten foot wide, we certainly can discuss
that issue, but those comments, again, were made twice to the Planning and Zoning, so
there is nothing new.
Ford: And just one last comment. The comment regarding -- I haven't seen the memo,
so -- we came in on this project a little bit later, so that might be my miscommunication. I
apologize for that. But, second, we would like just to reiterate that the Nine Mile pathway
does not go anywhere to the subdivisions to the south. It would end right into Ustick, so
that's just what I'd like to get on the record. Thank you.
Corrie: Okay. Any other discussions?
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Just to make note, Mr. Kuntz's comments are here on -- dated April 17th to the
Planning and Zoning Commission and it talks about the ten foot wide path along the
Five Mile and Nine Mile drain and then that they have to provide a letter of credit for one
half construction of the future pedestrian bridge over the Nine Mile Drain and there isn't
a finding by Planning and Zoning Commission, they recommend denying it, so there
isn't any finding by them to consider that, so --
Kuntz: Mr. Mayor, the other memo is dated October 11th, 2001. Thank you.
Corrie: Okay. Any other discussion? Okay. All in favor of the motion say aye. Okay.
Ayes motion is approved. The hearing is approved. And discussion, comments. Okay.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Nary: Mr. Mayor:
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I have heard this application a lot and unlike many of the applications that we get,
I think from -- if you look at what we saw last year and what we see now, you wouldn't
recognize it as the same application. So I do appreciate the attempt and the work that
has gone in to try to make this work and trying to do everything they can, which would
be as far away from these homes as it could be. If it's contained within a building, it
probably is not going to have the impact that people think as the transfer station will in
Twin Falls or somewhere else. The landscaping is better than what we get around an
office. I mean there is a tremendous amount of work that's gone in to try and get this to
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 85 of 89
mediate the problems that have been addressed for the last eight or nine months. But
sometimes I just can't -- no matter what you do, I don't think you can make this work. I
just don't think we will ever not listen to people that hate this project in that spot and
that's my concern. And the problem is now Hubble Homes told us a year ago we think
it's great, we love it, and now I have really no doubt what the gentleman says that
probably someone told them it was going to be a park. They have been saying it's
going to be a park for last the nine years in that spot, even though it hasn't been
proposed to be a park for about eight. So the problem is is that now we are building
homes that those people that have bought those homes have no idea that's what was
going to be there and it's the same problem we had. If this was built a year ago those
homes aren't there, now they are. The more and more this gets delayed -- and that's not
anyone's -- it's SSC's fault, it's not the developer's fault, it's anybody's fault, it just is. But
it just -- I just have a hard time saying this is going to work. I recognize they have done
everything they can. I don't fault them for anything they have tried to do and this is just
one of those places that it just -- just aren't going to convince those people that live
there that this can work. It just is that difficult to want to annex this property and do that.
And, again, I know we can fight this battle again, because I think the Mixed Use
Wastewater Treatment Plant zone will allow for this use again and I understand all
those things and I don't have a concern that SSC can't manage their property, because
they manage all their property well, their contract is with the city, the people that enforce
it is us. But I just -- I guess I just feel in my gut that annexing this property and putting
this there is just -- it's just a rock we don't want to turn over.
McCandless: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. McCandless.
McCandless: As hard as it is, Steve and Bill run a wonderful, great business. They really
do. I wish you all knew how well they run that. You know, sitting up here it's awfully hard
to not listen to the people that live out there. I wish I could tell you where a better place
is for you. I can't. I don't know. But I sort of agree with Bill Nary. I don't know what else
to say. It's one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make.
De Weerd: It's always hard for me not to comment. I was against the text change
amendment to begin with. I live out in that area. I don't see a problem with the waste
treatment plant or a transfer station next to our sewer treatment plan. It's one of those
things of what other kind of compatible use can you have and I have kids that will go to
Ponderosa, too. That's not what bothers me. I think that what they have done is, just like
Councilman Nary said, they totally turned this application around and, actually, that's the
beauty of the public process is -- I know I have seen the faces here a number of times
and they are the reason it looks like that, but, too, I think that it's kind of at the point
where I don't know if they could do anything more to still make it appeasing to the
surrounding neighborhood. This is a very residential area and people moved in there
knowing about the sewer treatment plan and they are living with it. I can't compound
that, whether I personally would agree that this would be a good use or not. I do think
that our city is going to have to work with one of the service providers in trying to find a
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 86 of 89
place for it and a place where we can have temporary sewer or something that will
serve it in an industrial area, because that is the appropriate use for it, is a heavy
industrial area and not a light industrial area. And even with the new language that I
didn't support, this still doesn't fit with that new language. So I don't know what else to
say, other than the integrity of SSC is beyond reproach. They are a top notch company.
We saw the company and I think many of you did before they took it over. They have
put a whole new definition of this company and really cleaned up its image. I'm not
concerned about them, even as long as they are owners, but, unfortunately, some
things change and I can't say anymore.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I would say one other thing and probably not very popular, but no one ever that
sits here is popular all the time. You know, I think for most people I think we recognize
that's a single lot, there are other spots, we'll just find somewhere else. The impact to
the rest of our city would be that potentially we are going to have to pay higher costs for
trash, because they are going to have to put it in a spot that's further out of town to be
able to do the same thing where you want. So, understand, that is the impact it has and
that's okay and that's something that's part of life, too, but that is the impact and that is
something that we have to weigh as well, but, you know, like I said, I think it's just one of
those things that just no matter how many ways you try to dress up this pig, it still looks
like a pig. Sorry. We have been here all day --
De Weerd: We have been together all day long, you know, and we are starting to
really --
Nary: It's just one of those things. Sorry.
Corrie: Any other comments?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Okay. I don't usually say anything, but I'm going to this time. Tammy mentioned
that if it doesn't pass tonight that the city needs to help find a spot for these people,
because at the present time the properties are outrageously high for anything of this
nature right now and Mr. Nary is absolutely right, if they have to pay an enormous price
for land, you're going to have to pay more for the trash hauling business and, again,
they are a tremendous company, they have turned a 360 as far as collecting trash and
being good neighbors as a business. So which ever way this vote comes out, I will do
my best and I'm sure the Council will, too, if they vote negative on this, that we find them
a place and at least get some sewer and water to them where they can put it in a
different place. So I think that that being said, I think the Council knows where I'm
coming from and what I would -- how I would vote. So we will see how they vote and
whether I do or not. So I guess with that being said, we call for the question -- and I
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 87 of 89
think we have -- we will have a vote. Okay. I need to have a motion for the request or
annexation on Utility Subdivision.
Nary: Oh, I will do it, Mr. Mayor. I would move that we deny AZ 01-015, request for
annexation and zoning of 34.60 acres from RUT to I-L and L-O zones for the proposed
Utility Subdivision by Falcon Creek, LLC, pursuant to staff comments and the
recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission and for council to prepare
Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and Decision and Order.
De Weerd: Second.
Corrie: Motion has been made and seconded. Any further discussion? Hearing none,
roll-call vote, Mr. Berg.
Roll-call vote: McCandless, aye; Nary, aye; DeWeerd, aye; Bird, aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Corrie: Four ayes. You don't have to hear what I had to say. All right. I will now entertain
a motion for the preliminary plat.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I move that we deny PP 01-017, request for preliminary plat approval of 11
building lots on 34.60 acres in a proposed I-L and L-O zone for the proposed Utility
Subdivision by Falcon Creek, LLC., pursuant to the recommendations of the Planning
and Zoning Commission and staff comments and the testimony here tonight and for
Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law and Decision and Order to that effect.
De Weerd: I second it.
Corrie: Motion has been made and seconded. Any further discussion?
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: I probably don't have any discussion on the particular motion, but I do have
a comment.
Corrie: Okay.
De Weerd: When this text change came through, I think we sent the application -- or the
applicant a mixed message and also, you know, these neighbors have invested a lot of
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 88 of 89
time in this and, boy, the applicant has invested a lot of time with it. I don't know when
Council approved the text amendment what they had in mind, but what they approved
was this application that was in front of them, so I guess I'm a little confused as to the
turn around and that we need to be a little bit clearer on expectations when we ask
people to invest a lot of their time and effort, whether it's the neighbors or the applicant.
Like I said, I have seen these faces in here and you have invested a lot of your time and
the applicant has invested a lot of their time and money to try and make this work. So I
think we need to start doing a better job in letting people know the directions that we are
going and I'm not just saying that because I voted no, but I am concerned that it has
gone on to P&Z, to City Council, after that point and it's a mixed message that we had
out there, so --
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I think I've probably heard this more than everybody, but -- and the text
amendment was my motion at Planning and Zoning and my motion here, but in my
opinion we have never given anybody the impression that this was a done deal, that this
was an easy road. We said over and over and over you need to convince those people
that live there that this can work and as much as they tried -- and I have said it over and
over, too, they have tried, it just isn't going to work. But we never, in my opinion, ever
gave anybody the impression that this was going into effect. We agreed to the text
amendment because there wasn't anything to prohibit it, but we have said unless you
can convince the people in that room right here, the same people that are just like you
that this is a good deal, it won't happen. This isn't going to work. So I don't think we sent
a mixed message. I think we said the process requires it and we would follow the
process and said when we get to the end of the day we will see what happens and this
is what happened, so --
Corrie: Okay.
De Weerd: I will call for the question.
Corrie: The question has been called for. Mr. Berg.
Roll-call vote: McCandless, aye; Nary, aye; DeWeerd, aye; Bird, aye.
Corrie: All ayes. Request for preliminary plat is denied.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Corrie: Okay. That concludes the City Council agenda for July 16th. Council, I will
entertain a motion to close the Public Hearing -- or close the --
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor, I move we adjourn.

A, Update on Preparation of Final Comprehensive
Plan I Resolution:
Corrie: Item 4 is Department Reports. Planning and Zoning Department, Shari Stiles,
update on preparation of final Comprehensive Plan and slash Resolution.
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, I just wanted to let you know where we were on the
Comprehensive Plan. We had hoped to have it up for a resolution tonight. We did get
the copy back from our consultant with changes made. However, there are additional
changes that need to be made, clean up typos, and problems with some of the layout of
the document. We will be meeting with them next week to make the final changes and
would like to ask if your meeting on the 30th, if we could have a special meeting prior to
the meeting that I guess you would have with the Planning and Zoning Commission on
the 30th, since it is the fifth Tuesday. Not going to have any?
Corrie: We already decided on the 2nd.
Stiles: Are you not going to have any meeting on Tuesday?
Corrie: No. We will have it -- the next meeting will be August the 6th.
Stiles: Is that when you -- you want to hold it off that long?

Corrie: It's up to the Council if they want to have a special meeting for that week, we
could do that.
Bird: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Shari, how long a meeting are we going to have? I don't want to hold it off any
longer than that.
Stiles: As far as I know it's a formality to adopt the -- what you have already approved
through the resolution. The attorney's office said they would like to have a complete final
document as it is going to be printed for -- from now on. So we just don't have that
available yet.
Bird: Could we have it the 23rd ahead of time, say 6:00 o'clock?
Stiles: We won't have it ready that soon. We are not meeting the --
Bird: The 3rd will be the soonest you could have it?
Stiles: To have it printed, because we are meeting around the middle -- either
Wednesday or Thursday next week with the consultant and then we will have to have it
printed.
Bird: Mr. Mayor, I have no problem with that, as long as everybody else --
Corrie: Okay. Who cannot be here?
Nary: I won't be here on the 30th. I mean I'd like to be here for it, but I mean I don't want
to wait until --
Bird: We need all of us to be here.
McCandless: It's on a Monday?
Corrie: No. On Tuesday. The fifth Tuesday. If we want all of us to be here, which I think
would be a very good idea, I -- and I'm like Keith, I would hate to put it off, but I think the
6th would have to be that.
Nary: Okay.
Bird: Can everybody be here?
Berg: Mr. Mayor and Members of the Council, if it's just a formality and that's what we
are talking about, you have a meeting that you have to attend on the 29th, that Monday,
Meridian City Council Meeling
July 16,2002
Page 5 of 89
at 8:30 at Compass on the North Meridian Planning Area, that maybe you could hold a
meeting either -- you could maybe hold it at 8:00 o'clock here on the formality of
approving a final draft; correct?
Bird: Mr. Nary I won't be here.
Nary: I won't be here. I mean I hate to wait, but I mean --
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: If the changes are not material, if they are just typographical and pictures, I
don't understand why we could not pass the resolution, unless the attorney needs to
have those typos fixed. Is that what's holding it up?
Nichols: Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council, what we wanted was the resolution to
have attached to it the plan that's adopted and so that in the city clerk's resolution file
that's the document that's attached to the resolution. Now just a typographical error
change, that's not a change of substance. If there are issues with regard to the layout,
that may be -- I mean it's however you want us to do it.
Corrie: Okay. I'll just make an executive decision here and go to the 6th of August and
we can all be here.
Stiles: Thank you.
Corrie: Okay. I will need a motion for that, Council, to table that until the 6th of August.
Bird: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I would move that we table the final Comprehensive Plan resolution until August 6,
2002.
McCandless: Second.
Corrie: Okay. Motion has been made and seconded. Any other discussion? All those in
favor of tabled to the 6th of August say aye. Opposed no. All ayes. Motion carried.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Item 5:
(Items Moved from Consent Agenda)
Meridian City Council Meeting

E, Findings of Facts and Conclusions of L..aw for Denial: CUP 02-011
Request for a Conditional Use Permit for a sports bar with pool tables and
big screen TV's in an O-T zone for Blumacs Sports Bar by Michael
McGuinness - 706 East First Street (N. Main Street):
Corrie: Item NO.5 is the items moved from the Consent Agenda. We will take up E first,
Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law for denial of a Conditional Use Permit for a
sports bar with pool tables and big screen TV in an O-T zone for Blumacs Sports Bar,
706 East First Street, North Main.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I had requested to have this item pulled. I simply wanted to bring before the
Council to delete on the Findings of Fact Item 7. What the Findings say is another
alcoholic beverage of this type in the Old Town area would not help foster a family
friendly atmosphere for the downtown area. I know that was part of our discussion and it
was a lot of our discussion, My only concern is in the Findings it says we don't really
have an ordinance that supports what that means, what family friendly means, and I
don't -- certainly don't want to give an opening to a district judge to find some reason to
overturn, plus there is plenty of other reasons in our findings to support that decision, so
I wanted to ask if we should simply delete NO.7 to tighten up the Findings a little bit to
make it so that it's less attachable, I guess, by another party.
Corrie: Okay. Any other discussion? Okay. If you want to make that a motion that we
ca n --
Nary: I would, therefore, then, move to approve the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of
Law with the amendment of the deletion of Item 7 of the findings for the denial of the
Blumacs Sports Bar.
Bird: Second.
Corrie: Okay. Motion has been made and seconded. Any further discussion? Hearing
none, roll-call vote, Mr. Berg.
Roll-call vote: McCandless, aye; Nary, aye; DeWeerd, aye; Bird, aye.
Corrie: All ayes. Motion is carried.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
J. Will Serve L..etter - W. H. Moore property:
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 7 of 89
Corrie: The next item is Item J. This is a Will Serve letter by W. H. Moore property. Mrs.
de Weerd.
De Weerd: This, as well as I believe three other properties, were items that we
discussed that needed changing on our land use map for our new Comprehensive Plan.
We had adjusted that land use map to reflect the changes that have been discussed at
Council and then we added it back in with the impression that these needed to come in
front of us for application. [n looking at some of this correspondence, it suggests that
two of these are being built with -- at Ada County without those applications. I just
wondered what is the process we want to follow with this and -- with changing our area
of impact. Do we want them to apply and do a Public Hearing there? Is the Public
Hearing satisfactory just at Ada County? Do we need to -- if we are going to meet on
this application, can we not clean up the rest of the properties with Yorgason, the one
south of the freeway -- I can't remember whose that is. And Cavin? You know, what is
the process we want to follow here?
Bird: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: This Will Serve is for property that's in our impact area, except for--
De Weerd: That one piece.
Bird: -- just one little piece up there and that's the -- and I am under the understanding
that these others have been -- and I don't know what -- I'm like you, Tammy, I don't
know what the procedure is to get these transferred from Meridian's impact area to
Boise -- from Boise to Meridian. This is strictly a letter that says when we get the sewer
to you that we will let you hook up to it and then once we get within annexation area,
you will annex. This don't have any -- this letter here don't have anything to say about
the other being between Boise's impact area and our impact area.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: I guess I just opened up the question of procedure and how we were to
going deal with the other ones. Also in this letter it suggests that because they have
agreed to annex as a condition of receiving city water and sewer, do they -- are we
asking them to annex first? Are we going to help them find an annexation route? Or are
we going to have the service out there without annexation and then we lose the
application fees, the right to inspect, and some of those issues that we had talked I think
over a year ago as those were major concerns. So this is the first we have really had an
opportunity to discuss it, so I just wanted to have these items on the table, so we can
follow a protocol for the other applications that could be coming if they are required to
apply.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 8 of 89
Bird: Mr, Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: We have already -- the South Slough we have extended it out there and once we
get it out there I for one have no problem serving the property if they give us a letter of
intent to annex when it's available to annexation. We do get the use of the hook-up fees
and the monthly and I agree with you, we don't get the building fees and stuff like that,
but it helps pay for the -- by the hook-up fees and stuff it helps pay for us to get the
sewer and water out there. So I, for one, am in favor of signing these agreements. We
have already signed these with a couple of previous subdivisions that we have had to
run up lift stations and stuff to serve up north of that area. So I for one am in favor of
doing that and I was a year ago when we discussed it.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: As to the new annexation -- well, I don't know if it's necessary anyway, because
under the new annexation law once they do hook to the service we can annex it
anyway. So I don't know if we need to put -- just to make it more muddled, I had a
conversation with Don Hensley from Boise city public works department and he had
also offered that -- maybe to answer Councilwoman de Weerd's question that there
probably is -- does need to be some discussion with the public works staff or us and the
public works staff of Boise to maybe resolve some of those issues that are along the
borders between two cities, that serviceability and which should properly be in Boise's
impact area and which in Meridian and vice-versa and I haven't had a chance to tell
you, Gary, but he had mentioned that to me that that really made sense to him and I
said I'd bring it to you to address that at some point.
Smith: Thank you.
Corrie: Well, I think what we need to do is we have to have our Council approval,
Boise's council approval for the exchange of the area of impact and also the Ada
County Commissioners. So I was trying to set up a meeting the 22nd of this month
between the Ada County Commissioners, us, and Boise and make that change that we
want to do that for that property up at -- Y orgason's property and also for this property
and then if you wanted to do the north -- the northeast corner of Ustick and Eagle you
could do that, but I would imagine the time that this gets all done the annexation will
probably be there before they would even want to build anyway. We will have the sewer
and water available by that time as well. So we can service it, I'm just concerned that I
don't want to get into a match with United Water where they can and then they get it and
they are not going to relinquish that at all, so --
De Weerd: Does Shari have something?
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 9 of 89
Corrie: Are you waving at me, Shari?
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, there is a process they need to go through, Boise city
does it through a zoning ordinance amendment; Cavin has already submitted that
request to Boise city for the northeast corner of Ustick and Eagle. He's also submitted to
us a miscellaneous application for the impact area change on his property, so we are
running through public hearings on both sides and then would need to meet with Ada
county once that's an official action by the Council.
Corrie: So we would need a Public Hearing on Yorgason and also W. H. Moore's
request, Shari, or can we --
Stiles: That's what we are telling the applicants in order to be consistent at least with the
surrounding areas and I think they should go through a process with the Public Hearing
and not just make it a meeting where you sit down with them and make some decision
out of the public forum.
Bird: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: This has -- this letter has nothing to do with -- this letter has absolutely nothing to
do with whether it's in the Boise or Meridian impact. The biggest share of this land is in
the Meridian impact area. This is a letter to ask us to serve once we get the sewer and
water out there, which we will have out next year. That's all that is. The other process
we have to go through a different -- it's a different process altogether. This is a Will
Serve letter.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: So we have two different issues on the table right now. One is the Will Serve
letter, which I don't have an issue on, but I do agree with Councilman Nary that our
public works staff for Meridian and Boise should get together and find out who can best
serve these properties. That doesn't influence this one, but I do think that's necessary
before we meet with the county and the city of Boise, so we kind of have our ducks in a
row and on the second issue, we have four pieces of property that were affected on our
land use map, three of them that would be transferred over to Boise city's area of impact
and one which is Winston Moore's that would be transferred into the City of Meridian.
Those, as I understand it, need to go through an application process both from Boise
and Meridian and the county, so they will have three separate public hearings.
Stiles: I'm not aware that Ada county does a Public Hearing, but --
Meridian City Council Meeling
JUly 16, 2002
Page 10 of 89
De Weerd: Okay. So they need a Public Hearing in Boise and one in Meridian. As long
as we are consistent and we ask that of all the applicants, then that's how we should
proceed, but I just wanted to be clear that we do have a process and that staff should
get together to discuss the advantages and make sure our staff and Boise staff are all
on the same page as well as to how those properties could best be served. Okay. Well,
with that I will move that we approve the Will Serve letter for the northwest corner of
Ustick and Eagle Road through Winston Moore's property and ask the Mayor to update
his letter and the date from July 12th to July 17th and send it out.
Bird: I second that, but I'd like to add one thing. We need an agreement with W. H.
Moore Company regarding annexation when it becomes available.
De Weerd: With the new law I don't think --
Corrie: I'm sorry. Mr. Nichols.
Nichols: Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council, just a couple things. One thing to
remember is what the law is today may not be the law at the same time next year.
Nary: That's true.
Nichols: And since we are providing service outside the city limits, we can condition that
service on agreement to annex when contiguous and if that agreement is made and
entered into and recorded, it binds the property and I think at that point, even if the law
changes, we still have an argument that any change in the law cannot interfere with the
terms of the contract. The contract would still be enforceable and annexation would still
apply,
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: I would move to include that in my motion. Second agrees?
Bird: Second agrees, I believe that's the thing that we have out with those other two,
isn't it?
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor, I would also ask that staff works on finding that annexation route,
so maybe in the timing we can actually do the annex and service all at the same time
and I don't know what the hold ups are. I'm sure there is a couple of challenges out
there, but if we can assist the applicant and make sure that we do this all at the same
time, we'd sure clear up some problems. And I'm sure you're trying to do that anyway,
Gary.
Corrie: I will be happy to explain that. Okay. Anything else? Okay. Motion before the
Council. Any additions? Okay. Roll-call vote, Mr. Berg.
Meridian City Council Meeting

Item 6:
Swear in two New Police Officers - Meridian Police Department:
Corrie: At this time we have the swearing in of two new police officers for the Meridian
Police Department and then followed by lCRMP awards for two other officers. So Chief.
Worley: Thank you, Mr. Mayor and Council. It's always a pleasure to bring on a couple
new officers and I'd like to have the two guys come up here right now and we will talk
about them just a little bit. First in the back here, Matt Shriver is originally from Texas,
but he spent most of his adult life in Idaho, graduated from Capital High School and
then went onto Boise State University as a criminal justice major, also spent six years in
the Marine Corps Reserve where he received the select Marine Corps reserve metal
and the Navy achievement metal. He, in August of 2001, completed his studies at Boise
State with a bachelor of criminal justice administration. Most recently he was working for
Sears, but he's now a member of the Boise -- or Meridian Police Department. Old habits
getting there, folks. Thirty-two years of saying that, you know it -- but we are very happy
to have Matt on board with Meridian, Brian Caldwell is originally from southern
California. After high school in Canoga Park started out to be a music teacher, was
enlisted in the Army National Guard in southern California as a combat engineer and
during the 1994 earthquakes his unit was activated to help with the crowd control and
that sort of thing with -- as a result of the earthquake. He spent some time working with
law enforcement agencies in the Los Angeles area and became hooked on law
enforcement as a career from that. Was accepted to Washington State University where
he changed his major to criminal justice and also did an internship with the Department
of Corrections and Probation and Parole in the Lewiston office and upon graduation he
was hired as a parole and probation officer in Lewiston where he's been employed up to
the time that he came to work for us and, again, we are very happy to have Brian on
board. So if I can ask the Mayor to come foreword and administer the oath. Oh, excuse
me, Mayor. One second. I forgot something. Let me give each one of you a chance to
introduce the people that you have here to support you. Matt.
Shriver: I brought my fiancee Mary and my stepfather Art, my mom Angela, and my
sister Joni.
Worley: Thank you. Welcome. Brian.
Caldwell: I have my father-in-law Michael Brand and his wife Betsy and my father-in-
law's sister Sheila, but my wife is still up in Lewiston trying to gain employment down
here, so --
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 12 of 89
Worley: Okay. Welcome to you, too. Thank you. Okay, Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Thank you, Chief,
(Officers sworn.)
Corrie: Congratulations.
Worley: Thank you very much. Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council, citizens of Meridian,
I'd like to present Police Officer Matt Shriver and Police Officer Brian Caldwell.
Item 7:
Awards from ICRMP for two officers:
Worley: Mr. Mayor, if we can just move onto the next agenda item, I'd like Lieutenant
John Overton and Sergeant Wayne Fukes to come forward. These two gentlemen
recently attended a course put on by ICRMP that provides insurance coverage to most
municipalities for the state of Idaho and I'd like to ask the city clerk to come down and
make a presentation from that and explain a little bit of what this entails,
Berg: Thank you, Chief. It is my honor and privilege, because I am the risk manager for
the City of Meridian. lCRMP, our insurance carrier, provides a training program for risk
management and it isn't very often that they have police officers that attend this and go
through the whole course of personnel, contracts, policy, and loss control and liability
insurance. So it is important that not just one person in the city knows about all these
things, but quite a few, and our police department is a very high risk, exposed
department, not because of them, but because what they do. And so it is my honor to
present Wayne Fukes and John Overton and I want to read this certificate of
accomplishment. Presented to Wayne Fukes and John Overton who successfully
completed the ICRMP risk management program. This comprehensive training program
completed on May 2nd, 2002, is an in-depth study focusing upon the role of public entity
risk managers in Idaho. The program emphasizes human resource responsibility,
property and casualty insurance, loss control, claims handling, tort reform, Idaho State
statutes and contract insurance law. So it is an honor and I'm sure the chief really
appreciates you both completing this. Thank you.
Item 8:
Introduction of Cindy Hill - Meridian Police Department:
Worley: Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council, the next agenda item was an introduction
of a new employee to the Meridian Police Department. I don't see her here tonight, but
let me just talk just a little bit about her. We have been in the process for about the last
year of hiring an evidence technician. As the Council is aware and for the citizens'
information, one of the things that we have tried to do in the past year is turn over some
jobs which have been being performed by police officers, but can be performed by non-
sworn personnel, turn those over to those non-sworn people to put police officers back
out on the street where they are providing direct service to the public. We have been in
the process for about the last year of attempting to hire an evidence technician. It's a
Meridian City Council Meeling
July 16, 2002
Page 13 of 89
fairly specialized area even from the technician standpoint in that this cataloging and
keeping track of all the evidence that comes into a police department can be a daunting
task, because of court rules every piece of evidence that comes in, every movement of
it has to be tracked, everybody who touches it, has any contact with it, that has to be
logged and tracked for what we call the chain of custody. So it is a somewhat complex
process. In the process of one not completely successful attempt to bring some people
on board and find a candidate, we wound up re-advertising and going with a full-time
position and that gave us some benefits to look at some people who weren't necessarily
interested in the original part-time position. During this process we also became aware
that some other cities in the area had used some of their evidence people, not only in
the cataloging of evidence, but also as crime scene investigators, to actually go out and
process crime scenes, something that is, again, very often done by police officers, but
doesn't have to be. And in this process we were very fortunate to have apply and to
select Cindy Hill. Cindy has been in the area of criminal forensics for a little over 15
years. She at one time was the lead technician for the Boise city lab and most recently
was working for the state of Idaho. She will be starting next week and Cindy, in addition
to knowing quite a bit about the process of chain of custody, is arguably one of the best,
if not the best fingerprint forensics people in the state of Idaho. She -- at the budget
presentation this morning we showed a little video clip of her work being featured on the
Discovery Channel's New Detectives show for her work in a fingerprint comparison that
led to the murder conviction of Ben Cusmachev for killing his wife about five years. So
with that I just wanted to bring that to the Council's and city's attention that we are very
fortunate to get the caliber of people that we are getting now in the Meridian Police
Department. Thank you, Mayor and Council.
Item 9:
Tabled from July 2, 2002: Discussion of water and sewer latecomer
agreements with Sundance Company for Silverstone Subdivision
project:
Corrie: Thank you, Chief. Okay. The next is Item No.9, which is tabled from the July
2nd, 2002, meeting to discuss the water and sewer latecomer agreements with
Sundance Company for Silverstone Subdivision project. Brad, do you want to kind of
give us a rundown here and what we have on that.
Watson: Thank you, Mayor and Council Members. As you recall from two weeks ago, I
had sent a memo to you listing five issues that needed some guidance from Council. I
think we only good through about one and a half of those that night. The first one that
we seemed to talk about at length was the eligible cost on the water and sewer
latecomer request from Sundance Company. I did request in writing from them a more
detailed explanation of what a couple of those costs were and they responded also in
writing. I put a copy of that correspondence in your box this afternoon. It's not on your
computer, if that's what you're looking for. Essentially, the discussion revolves around
their claims for a construction manager and general conditions. Sundance's
correspondence lists what they include in the general conditions and construction
manager categories. Do you have that in front of you or do I need to run through that?
Meridian City Council Meeling
July 16,2002
Page 14 of 89
Corrie: That's the one I got this afternoon?
Watson: Yes.
Corrie: Yes. I have it. Does everybody else? Yeah.
Watson: Again, my question originally was whether those should be included in eligible
reimbursement costs. The only reason it came up is we have never done that before.
Most of the projects that we have done in the past were not of the magnitude of this
one. It appears from looking at this correspondence that -- from what I could tell, those
items are all needed during the course of a sewer and water construction project. Are
there any other questions or things I can clarify on that first issue?
Corrie: Any questions from the Council? Okay. Doesn't seem to be right now. Is it your
recommendation that we stay the way we have been doing it before, Brad? Or you want
to discuss this a little more later?
Watson: Well -- and I guess I should have a recommendation and all I can say is these
are the things that ordinarily would be included in a construction project of this
magnitude. The ordinance, if I can refer back to the ordinance, which I'm not sure if you
have the packet from two weeks ago, the only issue is the interpretation of the
ordinance and whether I'm getting sideways with that if I include it in the reimbursement
agreement.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: You know, Brad, I guess my recollection of the discussion and looking at the
ordinance, I mean [ don't think what they are requesting is adverse to what the
ordinance says. I think it is just an interpretation issue. I guess my thought from two
weeks ago was I think what either you or Gary or maybe both of you said, it's just
something that's never actually been addressed before, it hasn't been brought up by
someone else, so it isn't that we are changing -- I think our concern always is are they
consistent with everybody and this is just something that we have never asked to be
reimbursed for before. I don't see any reason that -- at least in part of the discussion,
maybe at the end of the day in your discussions with them or while we are getting this
agreement hammered out, you're able to work out some of these issues, but I don't
think it's adverse to this, at least my reading of this -- or I don't think you would be
adverse in including it. I recognize what your testimony was the last time and what your
statement was, is that what your concern was, again, sending that back to the other
people that have to hook onto that, but if it's justified and you can show and they show it
to you that it's reasonable in light of the nature of the project, I think that's what you
would tell anybody else that has to sign a latecomers agreement, that was what the cost
of the project was, this is reasonable, it's in line with our ordinance, we agreed to it, you
Meridian City Council Meeling
July 16, 2002
Page 15 of 89
want to hook onto the line, that's the way it is. You got to have water, that's the way it
goes. I will pay for it. So I guess that would be my view.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: How many other properties were going to be affected by this or participating
in it?
Watson: Council Member de Weerd, Mayor and Council Members, there are -- it
depends on what you look at, the sewer or the water, because they have different
service areas. There are dozens of property owners.
De Weerd: And have any of them developed or in the process of developing?
Watson: There are two projects in the process of developing, Sutherland Farms and EI
Dorado.
De Weerd: Okay. And these property owners are being kept in the loop of this process
and what's being recommended and that sort of thing, so this won't be a surprise to
them as well?
Watson: Council Member de Weerd, Mayor and Council, one of the property owners is
very aware of what's going on and has, in fact, from what I understand, reached a side
agreement with the Sundance Company. But ordinarily in the course of preparing a
latecomer, because there are dozens and dozens of properties, we do not coordinate
with them or we don't contact them and tell them this is what we are working on, come
in and look at it if you want. There is no Public Hearing notice requirement, so no. I think
the second property owner is probably aware that there is a latecomer fee that will be
charged, because they couldn't even begin to develop a project until the sewer was
constructed, but as to participating and review of that, they haven't.
De Weerd: Can those property owners participate at this point so that helps minimize
any cost affected by this agreement would be?
Watson: I suppose that they can. My attitude on that is that because there are normally
dozens and dozens of property owners, if we select -- are selective in who we choose to
contact and involve in the process, then those that are never contacted -- it's just a
consistency thing.
De Weerd: Right.
Watson: If there was a Public Hearing notice requirement, then it would make it easier, I
guess.

Bird: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I believe that when we discussed this before, that the agreement had all already
been agreed upon by one of the -- by the second developer in or had looked it over and
was agreeable to that. If I remember, that was the letter we received, Brad, if I
remember right.
Watson: Council Member Bird, Mayor and Council Members, there was a letter from an
adjacent developer who I agreed -- who I believe agreed, at least in principle, to being
subject to the latecomer fee and what I have in front of me doesn't list a specific
amount. Maybe I don't have the right one.
Bird: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I think this return letter here and -- in fact, I agree with you, Brad, I think -- you
know, you definitely did what we had asked you to go back and get, if there was a cost
and make sure it wasn't marked up, but I'm like Councilman Nary, that this is something
we probably haven't done, but I don't think that our ordinance tells us exactly -- it's so
clear that it tells us that it can't be done this way and I understand where the developer
is coming from, I mean he is out this money and I think he's entitled to return on his
money, he put the money up to get the sewer out there.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I'm no engineer or anything, but it appears to me that, really, the burden isn't on
you, other than your department ends up being the first line people to deal with it, but
the agreement has to be approved by us. The next person in who wants to dispute
whether or not that was reasonable -- and I think what we would be relying on is what
you're going to tell us, like in this issue about the construction manager, that's a
reasonable cost for construction. We have built this, that's what it cost us to do it, we
would have had to hire somebody, maybe we would have got a couple more low bids,
because we are the city, but this is reasonable in light of the market of what you can do
or what it would cost to build that project if we would have done it or they did it. Now
they as asking to be reimbursed for it. The next person that comes in and says I don't
want to pay that, they can come and talk to us and we can say, look, we already made
that decision when we agreed to that latecomers, those people put that line in
essentially for us, rather than us forking out the money for it they did, we agreed it was
reasonable, you want to be hooked to our water and sewer, that's the price you have to
pay. Period. And then, really, this isn't -- although, like I said, I know you folks get the
first call, but ultimately it's us. So, you know, we have to approve whatever the final
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 17 of 89
agreement is. If you can't come to an agreement, I guess if that eventually comes to an
impasse of some sort with Sundance, I guess you bring it back here and you make your
pitch and they can make theirs and we decide this is what we are going to do. But I
think that's probably the easiest way to go fOl'V1lard is really it's our ultimate call in
approving it and our ultimate call in telling the next party, tough luck, Charlie, pay it or
you can't do it, if that's what you want, you have to pay the price.
Corrie: Okay.
Watson: Unless there are more, I will prepare an agreement that includes these costs
and bring it back.
Corrie: Thank you. Agree, Council?
Bird: I agree.
Corrie: All right. You have got your marching orders. Do you want to --
Watson: That's fine. There are four other issues.
Corrie: Oh, I'm sorry. There are. I'm sorry.
Watson: I wish that was --
Corrie: I'm sorry. I did take all four at one time. So go ahead.
Watson: The second one is interest costs -- the construction loan interest cost from the
time that was initiated through September 1st of this year projecting out. Again, the
question on my part is whether this is allowed under the ordinance of a sewer
ordinance, I think it's item number three, a reimbursement agreement may provide for
interest to be paid to the sewer user. As I summarized two weeks ago, ordinarily this
has been interpreted to mean that the latecomer fee per ERU is increased each year
October 1 st, according to either the prime rate or some other agreed upon percentage.
Sundance's interpretation of this is that the construction loan interest cost are eligible.
Bird: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Brad, if we were to have to borrow money to put in a sewer and we don't get it
free, it's interest on the project, that's part of the cost of the project, isn't it?
Watson: Councilman Bird, I would certainly consider it a project cost. That's not a
question on my part, it's just whether the ordinance allows us to do that and if it does
allow us to do that, then I'm going to apply it consistently to every other agreement that
comes after this.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 18 of 89
Bird: Mr. Nichols has --
Corrie: Mr. Nichols.
Nichols: Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council, it's my opinion it was referred to in the
ordinance as interest after the latecomer agreement is entered into, because the
agreement is potential up to a ten year agreement and the previous interest issues in
the other agreements are so that the present dollar cost with some interest factor down
the road to someone that hooks up in the year nine pays present value plus interest.
That does not mean that the interest cost isn't a reimbursable cost, just I would read this
portion of the ordinance as saying that's interest on top of whatever number you arrive
at, however you arrive at it. That would be my interpretation of the ordinance. So, again,
the ordinance doesn't say you can't include interest cost, they approve the cost,
approve that part of their expansion of the system, then if the Council chooses to, it can
be included. It could be that no one's asked before.
Watson: Unless I hear otherwise, I'll go ahead and include this as an eligible
reimbursement cost. Okay.
De Weerd: Is that correct, Brad? They are only asking for the interest during
construction only or is it interest from the time they start construction until the end of the
ten years that you're allowed to collect or --
Watson: Council Member de Weerd, Mayor and Council, it's both. They include the
interest on their construction loan as their starting principal, plus each year that per ERU
would escalate.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I guess the only issue I would have -- and I think I agree more with Mr. Nichols,
but one of the things the provision says they can't be reimbursed more than a hundred
percent of what it cost them. The interest is something else and I think Mr. Nichols'
interpretation is probably the most conservative and yet it still benefits the builder to a
degree and may not -- maybe not necessarily as much as Silverstone wanted, but it is
benefiting them. If they build it today and you don't hook up for eight years, you still
have to pay whatever that fee we determined it would cost to hook up, plus the interest
for the eight years you didn't hook up, because you weren't a part of it. Isn't that what
you said? Is that right?
Nichols: Councilman Nary, Mayor and Members of the Council, my view is if you choose
you can take the interest cost through the end of construction, include it as a
reimbursable cost, and then on top of that have a reasonable rate of interest, so that
down the road someone who pays is on the same footing -- in other words, he gets
Meridian City Council Meeling
July 16, 2002
Page 19 of 89
back his cost, because if they were to build today and hook up today, he would be made
whole today and if he waited until year eight, then there is some interest -- forgone
interest on that reimbursement, because he didn't have it to invest or do something else
with it.
Nary: That's what I just -- okay.
Watson: I think I understand. Proceed that way. The third item is the administration cost
provided for in the ordinance. It provides for a ten percent administrative fee to be
retained by the city for handling the latecomer agreement over the ten-year period.
Traditionally, it has been taken out of the principal. In other words, on a 500,000 dollar
latecomer agreement, if that was all paid back in the year one, the city would retain
50,000 dollars of it, the develop would get 450,000. That's the way it's been done on
every agreement that we have so far. Sundance's interpretation is that we calculate the
fee based on 550,000 dollars, they are made whole, they get back their entire principal,
the city tacks on ten percent to each latecomer. Again, I think this is an interpretation
thing and whatever we decide to do on this one is what I'll end up doing on all of them.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Although we haven't done it that way, I certainly think you can read the ordinance
to say that. It doesn't really tell us that it can't be an additional cost passed on, because,
otherwise, we are asking the builder to build something to the city's benefit, wait
potentially ten years to get all your money back, and at the end you're still out ten
percent, plus whatever cost -- I mean part of this is to serve their property, so part of it
they have to pay for. So I understand where they are coming from and I don't see any --
I don't think there is anything wrong with doing it that way.
Bird: I don't either.
Watson: Okay. Okay. Should I move on or--
Nary: Yes.
Watson: Okay.
Nichols: Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council?
Corrie: Mr. Nichols.
Nichols: Just a point for future reference. If you're going to add this fee on top, it would
be my recommendation that we change the ordinance and come up with some kind of a
fee that the departments calculate out that they incur as they collect these fees,
because when we take it out of the reimbursement, that's part of our contract and so
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16. 2002
Page 20 of 89
that's part of the agreement with the developer that they have made an agreed to live
with that. When we impose the fee upon somebody that's hooking up, we need to make
sure that it's not a tax and is actually a fee that has a relationship to the actual services
that's being provided.
Nary: I think that's great. That's a great rational that makes sense and that's fair to
everybody. Thank you.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: How soon could that be done? Because we have at least two properties that
are in the process of being in that situation as a latecomers fee. Will we be able to
collect a ten percent administrative fee without that new language?
Nichols: Councilwoman de Weerd, Mayor, Members of the Council, the ordinance
simply says the city may charge and may receive. It doesn't say that we have to. So as
far as these that are ready to hook up now and pay now and there may not be actually
that much to the administrative expense, but the departments that have to do this, the
finance department, can certainly give some kind of a cost figure of how much time is
spent doing this and based upon a reasonable reimbursement fee we could factor it in
per ERU and have it assessed that way. As far as changing the ordinance, it wouldn't
take too much to change the ordinance, we just simply take this provision, delete
sentence four, or change part of it to say may receive an administrative fee to be set by
resolution of the Council.
De Weerd: Is this also something we could put in the development agreement that has
not come through yet?
Watson: Yes.
De Weerd: It sounds like, Brad, you have some quick work to be done. Okay.
Watson: The next -- the fourth issue is the water latecomer fee. The only reason I'm
bringing this to you is that the cost for this water line extension was very high when you
compare it to the service area, which is relatively small. If you'll look at table three, it's a
couple -- well, do you all have the information from two weeks ago? Table three in there
it shows the water latecomer fee at different -- under different scenarios. I think what we
are looking at now, since we have gotten through the first three issues, is the bottom
right figure of 1,162 dollars per ERU. This is an extremely high latecomer fee per ERU.
I'm not sure that I have a question or even a recommendation on this one. I guess I just
want you to be aware that when and if an agreement came before you, and Sundance
is saying it is really high -- normally they are in the two to three hundred dollar range.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16. 2002
Page 21 of 89
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: Brad, perhaps we can revisit this after you have had time to kind of look at it
further, because this needs to be solved with the latecomers on the sewer or can this be
done separately?
Watson: This is the water latecomer agreement. The first three I think is enough to get
their sewer latecomer agreement signed by --
De Weerd: Well, we can visit this when you have a recommendation.
Watson: The fifth one -- the fifth issue has to do with the well site and, again, trying to
wrap this into a latecomers agreement is very difficult. We have never put a well into a
latecomers agreement. What they are asking for is reimbursement of the area that we
are using for our pump house and this is turning out to be kind of like sewer easements,
we never used to have to pay for one, but evidently we are in an era when we do that.
They are quoting us a discounted price of five dollars per square foot on 20,840 square
feet, for a total land price of 104,240 dollars. If I put this into the water latecomers
agreement it's going to escalate up to the point of adding 17,000 dollars or so to every
house they build in that area.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs, de Wee rd.
De Weerd: Brad, what was in the development agreement? Usually well sites are
addressed in that. Were they not required to provide that?
Watson: Council Member de Weerd, Mayor and Council Members, I don't know that
they were required to provide it. Way back in the conceptual stages of this project I think
we agreed in principle or in concept at the time that we would try to wrap this land cost
into a latecomer's agreement, not knowing what the discounted price would be once we
got it. Once we tried to push that into a latecomers agreement, like I said, it just
becomes huge. Some of the options are spreading it out over a somewhat ill-defined
service area and the reason I say that is a well doesn't have a -- doesn't have a
boundary on it. It serves all over the place, depending on which wells are on. If we
brought something like that to you, it would be different than anything you have seen
before, but maybe Mr. Nichols needs to speak to this -- but somewhat -- because of
these boundary lines on a latecomer agreement. We can do a lot of things. The long
and short of it is they want something in writing that guarantees that they are going to
get paid back for this land.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary:
Meridian City Council MeeUng
July 16, 2002
Page 22 of 89
Nary: What I did hear you say, Brad, is we didn't require that they provide this well site
to provide water for their own property as a condition of approval? Like we would -- isn't
that normally the course for most of a residential subdivision and the like, that we have
well houses on --
Watson: Council Member Nary, Mayor and Council Members, I think it was required that
they provide that. What I don't know for sure is in the development agreement, was -- at
what compensation or -- if any. Normally, I think the developers of residential subs
where most of our wells are just donate it. I guess kind of a related question is if you do
do something that makes this a formal agreement, are appraisals needed? Do we need
to do something in order to execute such a document or agreement? I'd hate to work
something out, get it all the way to you, and then at the last minute be told that I should
have gotten an appraisal and I could have taken care of this outside the Council
meeting. The last few days it's been kind of hectic.
Bird: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Brad, this five dollars a square foot, is it -- what -- like a Touchmark or areas like
that or what have we been paying for it?
Watson: Council Member Bird, Mayor and Council Members, like I said earlier, we
haven't paid for a well site up to this point. We are in negotiations with the Touchmark
people to purchase that well site, too.
Bird: Is this in line with what they are asking?
Watson: Gary says that they are asking for eight, but that is an existing well, the hole
was already in the ground, so I guess there is some value in that. It sounds like from the
discussion maybe I need to bring two, three, four specific proposals to you.
De Weerd: Yes.
Watson: A menu that you can select from and I will look at number four as well. I think I
have got enough direction on the first three to at least get started on the sewer
latecomer agreement fairly quickly.
Corrie: Okay.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 23 of 89
De Weerd: I guess to bring something back, would Silverstone be subject to the well lot
portion of the latecomer's fee as well or are they asking to be excluded from that when
you start figuring total cost?
Watson: If we brought a water latecomer well land latecomer agreement to you, it would
have to have some benefit area, some service area. What I would probably do is take
Silverstone's proportionate share out and then divide the remaining cost over that
benefit area. So the short answer is, no, they wouldn't be, but they wouldn't be getting a
full whatever it was, 105,000 dollars back either, because their proportionate share
would be taken out of the reimbursable amount.
De Weerd: Okay.
Corrie: Okay. Brad.
Watson: Thank you very much.

Corrie: Item No. 14 is a request for final plat approval of 35 building lots and 7 other Jots
on 4.67 acres in an R-8 zone for Berkeley Square Subdivision by Wardle and
Associates, 1025 North Ten Mile Road. Staff comments.
Shari: Mr. Mayor and Council, we have made our comments on this application. The
applicant has expressed opposition to one condition, that would be Site Specific
Condition No, 11 in regard to the pressurized irrigation well development fee. They are
proposing a reduced fee due to the fact that the lots are smaller than the typical 8,000
square foot lot. They are asking for a reduction from 730 dollars per lot to 124 dollars
per Jot. They are also basing their calculation on the irrigable land on the lots on a
proposal that the setback between buildings be completely gravel, so that would mean
the five feet that is adjacent to the building on each building would be gravel, no
landscaping within that area. I will let the Public Works Department address whether
they agree with the reduced fee.
Meridian City Council Meeting

Watson: Mayor and Council Members, I have met with the applicant and I think we have
come to an agreement on what an appropriate reduced well development fee per lot
should be. I think. We are okay. Is there any questions?
Corrie: You're okay with what they are suggesting?
Watson: Yes.
Corrie: Is what you're saying?
Watson: Yes. It's a 20 percent reduction -- or it's 80 percent down to 20 percent
reduction of the standard R-4 8,000 square foot home.
Corrie: Okay.
De Weerd: So you're okay with 124 dollars?
Watson: It works out to -- there are a couple other arithmetic things that are not quite
right in the staff comments. It works out to 150 dollars per lot.
Corrie: Anything else? Representative Wardle?
Wardle; Mr. Mayor, Council Members, my name is John Wardle. My address 50
Broadway Avenue in Boise. As Mr. Watson stated, the fee we have worked out with
them is 150 dollars per lot, so we agree with that as well and I will stand for any
questions if you have any. That was the only issue we had with the conditions that were
in the staff report.
Corrie: Okay. Any questions from Council? All right.
Wardle: Thank you.
Corrie: Okay. Any further discussion? If not, I'll entertain a motion on the request for
final plat and the staff comments.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: I move that we approve the request for final plat of 35 building lots and 7
other lots on 4.67 acres for the proposed R-8 zone of Berkeley Square Subdivision, to
include all staff comments with the reduced well development fee to 150 per lot and ask
the attorney to draw up Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and Decision of Order.

Item 15:
FP 02-013: Request for Final Plat approval of 27 building lots and one
other lot on 10.29 acres in an R-4 zone for Vienna Woods Subdivision
No.6 by Skyline Development Company - east of North Locust Grove
Road, north of East McMillan Road:
Corrie: Item No. 15 is a request for final plat approval of 27 building lots and one other
lot on 10.29 acres in an R-4 zone for Vienna Woods Subdivision No. 6 by Skyline
Development Company, east of North Locust Grove Road and north of East McMillan
Road. Staff?
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, this is another phase of Vienna Woods that has been
developed in Ada County per our agreement with the Ada County Commissioners in
negotiating our area of impact. Planning and Zoning takes no issues with this project,
but asks that all of the staff comments -- that they comply with all staff comments on this
project.
Corrie: Is the applicant for Vienna Woods here? Name and address for the record,
Johnson: Mr. Mayor and Council, Tucker Johnson, Skyline Development, 10464 Gabriel
Court. Generally concur with the staff report. Just a couple housecleaning items that I
noticed once I was able to get the packet earlier today. As with the previous phases,
item one, need to insert the word applicable city ordinances. This is a county
subdivision, so not all city ordinances have jurisdiction in terms of, you know, how to
measure a lot width and things like that, but for the most part it won't affect anything
substantial. The final plat as you saw it and viewed it is exactly how we are building it.
Actually, in this case we actually deleted one lot, so we are actually loosening the
density at little bit. Item three, paragraph three, it talks about needing building permits.
Technically building -- you don't issue building permits, you issue the sewer and water
fees. So my recommendation there would be that the word building permits -- prior to
any water or sewer fees being accepted. That's how we worked it out with the Public
Works in terms of those issues. Those are current when the sewer and water fees are
paid to the city and that's what we talked about with the city, the department will not
accept those applications for sewer and water hook-up until X, Y and Z and then
requiring us to put it in. Item five of NO.2 -- this is my last comment. Strike the words
minimum square footage. That sounds -- it's a county subdivision and the county zoning
ordinance is the applicable ordinance and has per the previous phases, to be
consistent, that would be stricken as well from these comments. So it's pretty cut and
Meridian City Council Meeling

Page 30 of 89
tried, pretty straight forward in terms of -- it's the sixth time around, so it's not real rocket
science, but those are the extent my comments or questions and I'll stand for any
questions if you have any.
Corrie: Council, any questions?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Mr. Bird. Okay. Thank you.
Bird: Thank you.
Johnson: Thank you.
Corrie: Okay. I will entertain a motion for the request for final plat on the Vienna Woods
Subdivision.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: I move that we approve the request for final plat approval for 27 building lots
and one other lot on 10.28 acres in an R-4 zone for Vienna Woods Subdivision No.6, to
include the changes in number one, to insert the word applicable where needed;
number three, to replace building permits with water and sewer fees, and, number five,
to delete item number -- or item two and ask the attorney to draw up Findings of Facts
and Conclusions of Law and Decision of Order.
McCandless: Second.
Corrie: Okay. Motion has been made and seconded to approve the request for final plat
for Vienna Woods Subdivision No, 6 with those changes. Further discussion? Hearing
none, roll-call vote, Mr. Berg.
Roll-call vote: McCandless, aye; Nary, aye; DeWeerd, aye; Bird, aye.

Page 31 of 89
Corporation, west side of North Locust Grove Road, south of East McMillan Road. Staff
comments.
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, you have the staff comments that are dated July 11th,
2002. We received this afternoon some comments from the applicant's representative
opposing some of the comments. I'll go through those -- each one of those items. Site
Specific Condition No.6, the site specific condition does read correctly as worded. The
preliminary plat did show a 20 foot wide alleyway. There was a twelve foot wide paved
area shown for the alley, with a four foot wide gravel area shown in the street section for
the alleys on each side of the paving that would have been the -- that would have
equaled the 20 feet. We were trying to follow what was approved at the preliminary plat
stage and with some experience we had on previous applications in final plats, we were
sticking to make sure that the plat does conform with the approved preliminary plat. So
that would be up to Council whether they want to delete that requirement to stick to
what was approved with the preliminary plat, which was a twelve foot pavement with
four foot gravel on each side. It probably doesn't make a specific difference to the fire
department, as they can reach it from the streets. They would be able to reach it with
the streets. They wouldn't have more than 150 feet. They were concerned -- I talked
with Joe Silva this afternoon and he was concerned with the fact that a lot of fires could
be started in the back towards the alley with the garages in the back, but there is not a
fire code ordinance that would require those to be in keeping with the 20 foot wide
alleyway. We have not heard from Sanitary Service Company, We tried to get with them
this afternoon to see if they would have any problems with -- I think the main concern
they had was with the recycling trucks. So if that's deleted we would like that to be
specifically acted on by the Council how that should read. Site Specific No.7, the -- I'm
not sure where the three lots came from. The preliminary plat, Block 24, did reflect 22
lots initially. They have shown three lots at the end with a slightly different orientation.
One of those lots was partially outside of the current phase line and as long as we can
keep track of what that is and what's deleted and there is no net increase, we will -- as
long as the changes don't get to the point where we are not able to track them and
when the application was submitted it said it would conform with the preliminary plat and
our condition stands as it reads, unless modified by the Council. The first one is not
considered significant if that remaining lot outside of the phase or the remaining portion
of the lot is not added somewhere else. Site Specific Condition NO.8 on Block 11, there
was a lot added after the approval of the preliminary plat. Had the applicant's
representative merely talked to the staff and explained what was going on prior to
submitting their application we probably could have worked that out, but it was
submitted indicating conformance with the preliminary plat and, in fact, it was not. They
have indicated that they will be removing a lot on the southern boundary in a future
phase. Site Specific No. 12 we had no issue with. We would like to add in the second
sentence -- they are proposing to add that the said plan shall be implemented per staff
approval prior to the issuance of any building permit, to add per staff approval between
the implemented and prior. Site Specific Condition No. 13, the planting landscaping
plan, it was staff's understanding at the -- during the preliminary plat that due to the fact
that there was -- it was an unknown when the frontage on Locust Grove would be
developed as far as the office uses and the exception area, that that frontage would be
Meridian City Council Meeling
July 16, 2002
Page 32 of 89
landscaped at this time and also that the landscape plan would be submitted to show
that landscape plan. It may be years and we don't know that at this point how long it will
be before that develops, but we would like to have the landscaping constructed along
Locust Grove in accordance with city ordinance, even though it is a -- it's an off-site
improvement for this phase, we believe that the requirement was intended to mean that
they landscape it prior to any lot within the preliminary plat subdivision that was
approved and we would like that requirement to remain, so we would not recommend
approval of the request on Site Specific Condition No. 13. The applicant's representative
under that same item has indicated that he wanted to add in the event of weather
restrictions the applicant shall be allowed to bond for all the required common area
improvements, including landscaping, the community center, and gazebo prior to final
occupancy of any unit. In any case, improvements shall be made as weather permits.
This is not something that we had typically allowed to be done after occupancy and I
believe the development agreement that we typically enter into does state that all
improvements will be completed prior to occupancy and that would include the
community center and gazebo. We naturally had to make some concessions on
landscaping if you're in the middle of winter and it's obvious that you can't plant or even
in the hot weather in the summer there is times when it will severely stress the
plantings, then we have allowed them to have a reprieve on getting those planted until it
was prudent. So I'd like to -- for the Council to be able to address that, specifically the
Locust Grove landscaping and the common area improvements, which would include
the community center and the gazebo. Site Specific Condition No. 18 was simply a
clarification that would show the net density as 5.83 dwelling units per acre. General
Requirement No. 3 on the lighting, they want the ability to install some street light
fixtures. I think that the requirement can stand as is, because they will -- if they propose
alternative streetlights, they will take an agreement with the city at a later date, that they
-- the Council will be asked to approve alternative streetlights. General Requirement No.
9, four foot sidewalks. We did show the separated detached sidewalk to be four foot
wide sidewalks per our ordinance and per the Conditional Use Permit. We would still
ask if there are pathways in common areas going through pedestrian walkways, those
types of things between common areas, that they be built at the five foot wide
construction. Fire Department Requirement No. 7 regarding on-street parking, they
have asked that Requirement NO.7 be deleted and I believe with the Council's approval
of the preliminary plat, they did delete the fire department's requirement to have
restrictive parking on one side. The fire department does request that the alleys be
posted to -- that they have no parking and be shown as a fire lane. If they are to be two
way alleys, they would like that to be on each end of the alley or if it's one way, they
could be just on one end of the alley. With that we would ask Council to act on the
requested changes and to otherwise approve it with staff and agency conditions.
Corrie: Any questions of staff?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Okay. The developer?
Meridian City Council Meeting

Wardle: Good evening. For the record, John Wardle with Brighton Corporation, 12426
West Explorer Drive in Boise. If you will indulge me just for a second so I can pass out
some things. I appreciate staff's comments and I think I can limit my points just to a
couple of issues here. On Site Specific Condition NO.6 we have always intended to go
with twelve foot alleyways and the question is whether the right of way width needed to
be 16 feet or 20 feet. On another project being built the highway district required us to
do 20 feet. They since changed or have maybe interpreted their standard a little bit
different. Their requirement is 16 feet. So we have assumed the additional footage in
the lot. I think it's pretty straight forward, We are just asking ACHD's standard, which is
16 feet for the 12 foot alley to be accepted. I gave to you a couple of loose sheets --
there is actually three of them, This relates to Site Specific Condition No.7 and Site
Specific Condition NO.8. In front of you there is what the final plat looks like today and
what it looked like with the preliminary plat. In Site Specific Condition No.7 we simply
re-oriented a couple of lots, so we did end up with a little area back there which is kind
of a no-man's land. These lots front out on one road, instead of two facing that way and
one this way. So we re-oriented that. We don't see that as a significant change. It
doesn't increase the density, it's just simply a re-orientation of those two lots. On Site
Specific Condition No, 8, specifically Block 11, the final plat, which is Block 17 in the
final plat, we did add a lot here and this -- I did discuss this with the staff verbally before
it was submitted. I did submit a letter to staff clarifying what we had done here, as well
as the subsequent e-mail and other verbal conversation. We did add a lot here, but we
subtracted a lot from another area, We aren't trying to sneak in an additional lot here. I
did submit to you tonight a revised site plan that reflects these changes. When we were
in the Public Hearing we did hear from the neighbors to the southwest that were
concerned about the lots in there and we went back and looked at them and there were
a few small lots and what decided to do is pull one lot out of there, spread the difference
between the existing lots, we are talking specifically Block 21 here, and move that lot to
another area. We don't want to get penalized for adding a little additional width in one
area, we just want to be able to move that lot to another area, And graphically just
wanted to show you what he have done, that we are not adding a lot to this project, we
just wanted the flexibility to move one lot from the area -- like I said, move it to this final
plat in Block 11 final plat. In terms of temporary construction fencing, we will work with
staff and we are okay with their approval. On Site Specific Condition No. 13, relating to
the planting plan and landscaping plan, this is along Locust Grove and specifically the
areas where we will have an office development. We did intend to put those
improvements in at the beginning of the phase, we talked about the phase may be
accelerated, but since they are not part of this plat, we don't feel it's appropriate for us to
have to do that improvement at this time. I can perhaps refer to Mr. Turnbull to address
that a little more. We did not include those in the landscape plan, because they are not
part of the plat. Coming out of the Public Hearing as well it wasn't our impression that
we needed to provide that landscaping to begin with, As for that last part of that
condition that we added which is underlined, it said in the event of weather restriction,
that language is specifically from the approved preliminary plat and Conditional Use
Permit and the Public Hearing. I pulled that directly from what was signed off by the city.
There was much discussion at the Planning and Zoning and City Council meeting
regarding these improvements. There is a significant amount of improvements that are
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 34 of 89
going to occur with this project at the very beginning. You have got a community center,
which will include a swimming pool, a gazebo, we have a three acre park site, we just
need the ability, since it's late in the year, that these -- that if we are not done in time
that the certificate of occupancy occurs, that we be allowed to hold those -- you will be
allowed to hold those bonds as a guarantee and as weather improves we will finish
them off. That language is directly from what was approved by the city. And as for the
rest of those, I think Shari has done a really good job of explaining our position. We
don't have any additional comments. I will defer to Mr. David Turnbull, he wants to
address of few things at this point.
Turnbull: Good evening, Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council. David Turnbull, Brighton
Corporation, 12426 West Explorer Drive. I think John has covered it pretty well. I think
Shari has covered it mostly. I guess I'll just point out that the nature of the preliminary --
the difference between a preliminary plat and a final plat, if we are not able to do some
fine tuning when we come to a final plat stage, I don't know what the purpose of the
preliminary or final plat stage is. This is very consistent with what's done in other areas,
specifically the areas that were mentioned up in here and, you know, it's just a
reconfiguration of lots and that's consistent with what happens between a final plat and
a preliminary plat. As for landscaping on Locust Grove Road, I want to point out that in
our Conditional Use Permit we were required to do in our first, phase this area right
here, this park and gazebo, which we are going to also point out that we are doing the
community center in this first phase. We are also going to be improving some other
areas here and I was totaling that up today and it's a million dollars worth of common
area improvements. So we are going well beyond the normal standard, we are
essentially putting all the common areas in, with the exception of Locust Grove frontage
and we will do that in a subsequent -- at a subsequent time in the near future. If you
wanted to make it concurrent with the second phase, I would be happy to do that. We
will probably even do of before then, but we just have a lot of work to do with this initial
phase. There is a lot of common areas that we are doing. So if you have any questions
for me I will be glad to answer them. Otherwise, I would appreciate that you consider
the letter of revisions which we don't think are substantial, but they are important, that
Mr. Wardle submitted to you this morning. Thank you.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: And I don't know if Mr. Turnbull or Mr. Wardle can answer this, but you didn't
address that there was some disagreement on the staff of the four foot sidewalk and the
on-street parking issue and I didn't know if you were --
Turnbull: What was the --
Nary: Well, Site Specific Condition No. 18, net density, the staff comment here is the
3.93 or the 3.39, but it's actually -- 3.39 is actually 5.83.
Meridian City Council Meeling
July 16, 2002
Page 35 of 89
Turnbull: Well, what the staff requested was a setback -- typically as a developer when
you express density you take the overall boundary and count the number of lots and just
do a simple division. Staff requested that we go back through and I think what they do is
take out all the right of ways and all the streets, all the parks, and so forth and that's a
separate what they call a net density calculation. It's not something that we typically use
on the development side, but it's just -- so we provided that. They asked for it, so we
provided that figure. So there is no issue there at all with that, I don't think.
Nary: What about the issue on the parking in the alley where the -- the request from the
fire department was --
Turnbull: We are happy to sign both ends of the alley no parking, plus fire lane access.
Nary: Okay.
Corrie: And the pathway five foot width?
Turnbull: Well, we have no pathways. All of the sidewalks are detached. There will be
four foot sidewalks. I think what Shari's comment was was if there was a separate
pathway that it be five feet, but there are none, so I don't think it's an issue.
Corrie: Okay. Any other questions from Council? Thank you.
Turnbull: Thank you.
Corrie: Okay. Any discussion from Council before I entertain a motion for final plat?
Hearing none, I will entertain a motion on the final plat request.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I'm going to move the approval of final plat for FP 02-014, the final plat approval
for 82 building lots and 6 other lots on 24.21 acres in an R-8 zone for Heritage
Commons Subdivision by Brighton Corporation, pursuant to the staff comments of July
11th, as well as all the modifications requested by the developer dated in their staff
comments -- or their position statement of July 16, that Site Specific Condition No, 6,
the right-of-way width for alleys be deleted, that we believe that a 16 foot right of way is
ACHD's requirement, that Site Specific Condition NO.7 also be deleted, changing the
frontage, just a slight modification on the preliminary plat; that Site Specific Comment
No.8, Block 11 -- let's see. That that also be deleted pursuant to the -- pursuant -- I'm
sorry. I guess I'll scoot up. That pursuant to the developer's position statement,
Condition No.8, Block 11, be deleted. Construction fencing, I think they were both in
agreement; is that right? And number three, the planting and landscape plan -- I guess I
don't see the point -- I think bonding for it as required with the condition regarding
weather is adequate. I don't see this is a significant problem with the plan from what we
Meridian City Council Meeling
July 16, 2002
Page 36 of 89
reviewed in the preliminary plat, but if you want to follow, I don't see a problem of
following it with the developer's request in that particular one. It appears we are all in
agreement on Condition 18, number three, of the general requirements; number 9 of the
general requirements, and the developer is in agreement that the staff requested that
they -- in general -- the fire department requirement number seven, that they sign both
ends of the alleys that there is no parking and they be designated fire lanes, so we
make sure the fire department will have access and I think that was all the comments
and for council to prepare Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and Decision and
Order.

Item 18:
Public Hearing: VAR 02-007 Request for a Variance for reduced
setback from ten feet to five feet on the side of a home with a dormer on
the second level by KW Homes - Lot 28 Block 4 of Packard Estates No.
3,2641 E. Bernice Dr.:
Corrie: Item 18, 19, and Item 20 are Public Hearings. This is -- no. I'm sorry. We got 18
yet to do. I'm sorry. This is a request for a variance for a reduced setback from ten feet
to five feet on the side of a home with a dormer on the second level by KW Homes, lot
28, Block 4 of Packard Estates No.3, 2641 East Bernice Drive. At this time I will open
the Public Hearing on the request for a variance and staff comments first.
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, this property came to our attention several months ago.
The property had been built not according to plans, which required a lot line adjustment
to meet the minimum setbacks. They had reached an agreement with the adjoining
property owner to do the lot line adjustment and apparently money exchanged hands,
but no document was ever recorded. Since that time both properties or one of the
properties had changed ownership, maybe both of them, ['m not sure, but, nevertheless,
there was never a lot line adjustment to -- so they could meet the minimum setback
requirement. If you can see, I believe it's on your computers, that shows a picture of the
existing home, the dormer on the -- that would create the two stories was not shown on
the approved plans. Staff does not feel this application meets the requirements for a
variance, as there are -- none of the conditions exist that would warrant a variance. It
was all due to conditions created by the applicant. So our request is to deny this
variance request. Thanks.
Corrie: Okay. Any questions for the staff at this point?
Bird: I have none right now.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Mrs. Stiles, how did they get a certificate of occupancy?
Meridian City Council Meeting

Page 38 of 89
Stiles: You have a letter from Daunt Whitman, the building official, in your packets.
Nary: On the computer packet?
Stiles: I think so. It's dated June 6. Daunt Whitman states the certificate of occupancy
for KW Homes was issued based on the information provided that the land purchase
had taken place.
Nary: Thank you. Sorry.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: So at that time Daunt didn't ask for proof of that when the occupancy was
granted?
Stiles: Not that I'm aware of, no.
Corrie: Any other questions? Okay. This is a Public Hearing. Do we have -- the
applicant can testify first. We have five minutes and then anybody that wants to testify
on the Public Hearing has three minutes to give their part and we will time and we will
cut you off at five and three minutes. Okay. Is the applicant here this evening? Raise
your right hand. Is the testimony you're about to give the truth, the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Wang: Yes.
Corrie: Name and address, please, for the record.
Wang: My name is Kent Wang. On the plan to approve for the dormer, on the plan
exactly got approved for it, the dormer, but--
Nary: Excuse me. Could you give your name and address again?
Wang: 2146 East Bernice Drive. I forgot to bring the floor plan here tonight. On the side
there is supposed to have a notice of ten feet, you know, setback for the property line,
but when they come to -- the framer do the framing and the truss -- the truss company
and when they deliver the truss, it had another five feet and I didn't know that until after
the framing done and I -- at that time, you know, I go and talk to the builder next door,
John Conner, to buy the five feet and to have the 10 feet to meet the city -- you know,
but at that time we exchange the check and I forgot to go down to the city to record it
and ask for -- to obtain a judgment and I make a mistake, you know, and it won't happen
again and I hope the city, you know, approve for my request. On the plan they do have
a five -- you know, a dormer on that plan.
Meridian City Council Meeting

Page 39 of 89
Corrie: Okay. Any questions from Council?
Nary: Mr. Wang?
Wang: Yes.
Nary: I guess I saw our building inspector said it doesn't show, but it did show that on
the --
Wang: It did show on the blueprint, you know, the five by six dormer. No, one -- just half
that, but when the truss company build the truss they, you know, make a mistake or
another four feet for me, so I have enough room to make another, you know, full bath in
there, so I just add another full bath on the dormer, but --
Nary: When did you have the transaction to purchase that other property?
Wang: At sometime last year July, but I forgot about, you know, to record it, the time I
change the agreement with the builder John Conner, to by the five feet from him.
Nary: You gave -- according to this application, Mr. Wang, you gave this person money
to buy that five feet of property and now what you're telling us is you forgot to go get a
deed and record it?
Wang: Yes, Yes. And he never been recorded -- the deed to -- and I never go to record
the deed, too, so when the house -- I sold and he sold and then he -- you know
homeowner want the five feet back, just because I forgot to record, you know, the deed
for the five feet.
Nary: And are you suing him for that or--
Wang: 1'm not suing him, no. Well, I can get the very end the five feet, you know, but --
okay for a dormer.
Nary: So you want us to fix this problem that you messed up?
Wang: Yes.
Nary: But you're not taking any action against the person you paid money to buy
property to fix the problem?
Wang: I think they get a lawyer to sue my homeowner. I think by Idaho law, I'm not sure,
but my friend tell me there is no way I can have a chance to win the case.
Nary: Do you have a lawyer?
Wang: No. My homeowner have a lawyer.

Nary: So you're just -- you built this house?
Wang: Yeah.
Nary: And you sold it.
Wang: Sold It to them.
Nary: So now if we don't approve this, you got to go tear that out and rebuild their wall?
Wang: That's the last chance, but I hope with the dormer -- right now in the same
subdivision in Packard Estates have one house, same thing, have a dormer, five feet,
right near by the property line and they do get a. -- you know, get an occupancy permit
to -- I make mistake, you know, I should record that deed, but, you know, I just ask for
one chance. Won't happen again.
Corrie: Any other questions?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Okay. Thank you. Is there anyone that would like to issue testimony on this
variance request? Okay. Hearing none, Council, any other questIons for staff on the
record for the Public Hearing?
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd; Gary or Shari, was this caught at the framing inspection or at final
inspection?
Stlles: The memo dated June 6 says it was caught at the framing inspection.
De Weerd: And the applicant was told at that time and that's when you purchased the
property and --
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: ThIs other one that he's made reference to in Packard Estates Lot 2 Block 1, what
was that about? I don't know anything about it.
Stiles: I'm not aware of anything either.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 41 of 89
Nary: Okay. I guess we haven't closed the Public Hearing. Mr. Wang, do you have
more information about this Packard Estates Lot 2 Block 1 variance you say that was
granted by the Council?
Wang: One of my realtor lady tell me that you have one in the middle of the phase that
they call middle the room for one house is only five feet setback with a dormer and
another thing on the final framing inspector, I never had any note about a dormer too
close to the property line on June 15 -- whatever she's gone on common -- if I could
catch onto June 16, you know, I do just move back to five feet, you know, take out the
soaking tub will still meet the -- you know, the property line. But I never have any on the
-- you know, note. The inspector never leave any note, you know, say too close to the
property line.
De Weerd: So you're saying it was the framing inspection that the note wasn't made?
Wang: Never had any not -- nothing note to me saying I need to meet the, you know,
ten feet.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Mr. Wang , so you're saying that -- what Mr. Whitman's telling us is that he told
you that this was too close and you -- stop. Is that what you just said?
Wang: When you tell me to stop -- the framing inspection.
Nary: No. I understand that. He told you, though, it was too close to the property line?
Wang: Nobody.
Nary: Okay. Why did you go buy the five feet from the neighbor?
Wang: Because somebody tell me I need to meet the five -- I need ten feet to meet the
dormer.
Nary: Who was that somebody?
Wang: Just, you know, some builder there in the subdivision. They said, oh, usually they
require ten feet to meet the -- you know --
Nary: So you never told Mr. Whitney that you would purchase that property, that
transaction was happening, and you would do a property line adjustment? You never
told him any of that?
Wang: I don't tell anybody at that time.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 42 of 89
Nary: So he's lying in this letter to us? Is that what you want us to believe?
Wang: Okay. All I remember at that time is when [ got frame inspection, right? I don't
get collection on the note. I know on the building -- on the blueprint they require ten feet,
but I'm -- my mistake if you go to -- the truss company deliver the truss -- this five by --
six by ten, six by nine, that's to prove the six, but later on the truss company deliver a
truss that's six by ten -- six by nine, that's four feet exactly, you know, four feet too long,
you know.
Nary: So, Mr. Wang, instead of correcting the problem or requesting a variance, you
tempted to buy the property, though?
Wang: Correct.
Nary: All rig ht.
Wang: Going back to July, yeah, I know I made a mistake that time, so I go and try to
get the five feet from the next door -- the next builder.
Nary: And you have told us you did that, you made that transaction?
Wang: Told the lady sometime August. I think August or September. I just can't
remember the time, because I had another job I worked for a restaurant or just get too
busy and forgot to record it.
Nary: And so -- well, you're saying you forgot to record it, that tells me you have a deed
that you can record, What you said before is you don't even have a deed.
Wang: That's right. That's why I tell to give the -- buy the money to build -- I gave him a
check.
Nary: And you got nothing.
Wang: And we record -- no, we just -- you know, I haven't change papers saying, you
know, his name and my name and he will to sell me the feet, you know, on the--
Nary: Okay. I just want to understand what you did. So you gave this guy money, you
got no deed for it, you didn't record it, but you framed the house up anyway and sold it?
Wang: No. I framed it long before. You know, I frame it long before, you know, can't
wait.
Nary: And when you did that you knew that it was a violation of an ordinance.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 43 of 89
Wang: Yes. No. After our framing done, everything done, I know and that's why I go
ahead and go buy the five feet. But after I buy five feet I forgot to take out to city and
record the deed and get a -- obtain a judgment.
Nary: And your only evidence that we had granted some variance of that before is a
realtor friend of yours told you some other house in Packard Estates had variance
granted?
Wang: I not sure granted or not, but I know that one house in there only have five feet
setback just like mine with a dormer.
Nary: Mr. Wang, realtors tell people all kinds of stuff and they are not always accurate.
You never checked, you never did anything, other than just take the person's word for
it?
Wang: I trust them.
Nary: It sounds like they trusted you to take care of the problem before you were here.
Bird: Mr. Wang? Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Mr. Wang, you say from the other builder you gave him a check and he gave you a
receipt stating that this property --
Wang: It's a realtor help us print out paper saying his name John, you know, Conner
Construction and he sell five feet of the property, you know, from Lot 27 to my name
Kent Wang, KW Home on the Lot 28, you know, five feet. So I buy him -- you know, I
sign the paper and I give him a check, but, you know, I just forgot to record it and get a
deed from him.
Bird: And you are KW Homes? You are a builder, then?
Wang: Yes. I have the home -- he allow me to -- everybody make mistake, you know.
AliI ask is just one chance. It won't happen a second time in my life.
Corrie: Okay. Any other questions? Okay. Thank you. Okay. Any other questions before
we close the Public Hearing? If not, I'll entertain a motion to close the Public Hearing.
McCandless: Mr. Mayor, so moved.
Nary: Second.
Corrie: Motion made and second to close the Public Hearing. Any further discussion?
All in favor say aye. All ayes. Motion carried.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 44 of 89
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Corrie: Discussion?
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: If I understand all of Mr. Wang's testimony, he's a builder, he builds a house,
somebody told him that it was too close to the property line, our building inspector said it
wasn't him, he says it was somebody, he doesn't know who it was; he knew the trusses
were too long, he built it anyway, he framed it up anyway and bought property from the
next door neighbor for 2,650 dollars, which he never got a deed for, never recorded it,
and he doesn't do anything about that at all, sold the property to somebody else, who
now is stuck with this and he'd like us to fix it. I'm sorry, I don't see that we are obligated
to fix it. I think Mr. Wang made this from one chocolate mess to another and he needs
to fix it. I don't think we need to vary our ordinance because Mr. Wang botched this from
the get go on how this was done and now wants no responsibility for it, except for us to
vary our ordinance for his benefit. I just can't see what in the world we would do to grant
something like that. We have been very strict on granting the variances and there is no
reason to do this just because all we would be doing is encouraging Mr. Wang or
anybody else to do whatever they wanted, mess it up poorly, and then and come say
vary your ordinance to make it fit for me. But I'd like to see what everyone else has to
say.
Corrie: Further discussion?
Nary: Maybe someone has a different perspective than I have.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: I guess I have a little different perspective. When you look at the integrity of
our ordinance on variances, I just can't see anything in here that meets the ordinance to
grant a variance and that's what it comes down to. I know this puts the homeowner is a
real awkward situation, but this is something that the builder is going to have to rectify
and he will have to find that builder and find a way to do it. It doesn't meet the intent of
our variance ordinance and that's what we have tried to consistently base our decisions
on. However, we empathize with the homeowner. We have to -- we have to go by our
ordinances, so --
Corrie: Any further discussion?
Bird: I have none.

of the home with a dormer on the second level by KW Homes on Lot 28, Block 4 of the
Packard Sub No.3 and for our council to prepare Findings of Fact and Conclusions of

Public Hearing: CUP 02-005 Request for a Conditional Use Permit for a
Planned Unit Development for residential, commercial and office park
development for Sutherland Farm by Sutherland Farm, Inc. - east of
South Eagle Road and north of East Victory Road:
Corrie: All right. I will reopen the City Council meeting. The Public Hearing next is three
public hearings on Sutherland Farms. One is for a request for annexation and zoning
and one is for the preliminary plat and the other is a request for a Conditional Use
Permit for the Planned Unit Development. I will open all three of the public hearings at
one time. Your testimony can be for all three or where ever you want to go on that. To
save some time I have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine signed up
against, I don't have any signed for, but we will do the same rules as before, since there
are three things here we will give the developer five minutes on each one if he needs it,
if they don't that's fine. You'll have three minutes on the for or against testimony. So at
this time I will open the Public Hearing on Items 19, 20, and 21 and staff comments first.
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, this is for property that's immediately south of the
Sundance -- or Silverstone Subdivision. It's east of Thunder -- or Thousand Springs
Subdivision. It extends to Victory on the south and the Ridenbaugh Canal is adjacent to
the a portion of it on the north. The property north of the Ridenbaugh Canal here is not
proposed as part of a Conditional Use Permit. What they are thinking is is that when this
80 acres develops adjacent to Silverstone, that it's likely that this could be included as
part of that development or may be even included as part of the Silverstone
development at some point, but they don't have any immediate plans for this
commercial portion. They would propose a pathway along the Ridenbaugh Canal. We
do show in our existing Comprehensive Plan that the Ridenbaugh Canal is a multiple
use pathway. They are proposing office uses adjacent to Eagle Road in this area and
then they have some townhouse lots, alley loaded lots, in the -- this is a regular public
street I believe here adjacent to townhouse lots. They are showing some open space
here. A pond feature with open space. There are five acre lots or more adjacent to them
in the southern -- south of the property and also in this area. They have been -- they
have made changes since the initial application to try to address some of the neighbors'
concerns. They have submitted an agreement with the -- one of the property owners
adjacent to them, Mr. Gale Sasser -- I don't know if I'm saying that right. Do you have
that in your packets? Do you have that on your computer about the memorandum of
understanding? The applicant had agreed to a restriction for single story homes on Lots
12, 13, and 14 of Block 9 and Lots 5 and 6 of Block 9, The Planning and Zoning
Commission also recommended that an eight foot cedar fence be built along the entire
length of the western and northern property boundaries. I believe that's of the Sasser
property. I think that needs some explanation. Eight foot fences are prohibited in all
residential zones, so I guess if the Council wanted to approve that as part of the
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 47 of 89
Conditional Use Permit they should consider that specifically in the Conditional Use
Permit. And also agreed to extensive landscaping with a mixture of evergreen and
deciduous trees. That could be misinterpreted and maybe needs some additional
clarification of what consists of a dense mixture. It says they will work together to
develop a mutually acceptable landscape plan. The applicant has also agreed to an
increased rear setback of 30 feet for Lots 2, 3, 4,5,6,7, and 8 of Block 9. This planned
development will provide a variety of housing types. The applicant has removed some
of the lots that were initially shown adjacent to the park area to create a better view
corridor and to make it more open and more accessible to all residents within the
subdivision. They propose a bridge over the Ridenbaugh Canal. Ada County Highway
District will require bonding for construction of that prior to signature on the final plat. I'm
not sure if their bonding requirements were for half of the cost of that or for three-fourths
of the cost of that, since they do have property to the north of the Ridenbaugh Canal.
Maybe Gary Lee would be able to answer that. They will need to provide -- and I believe
it's shown on the plat -- with the temporary turnarounds at these stubs that are over 150
feet in length. They would be coming back in -- and Gary can correct me if I'm wrong on
that -- about the Conditional Use Permit. They have only come in with a conceptual plan
on the office uses at this time. They would need to come back at a later date to do a
detailed Conditional Use Permit for a planned development for the office uses.
However, the commercial uses north of the Ridenbaugh Canal are not proposed to be
part of the planned development and would be zoned separately. It's a little hard to see.
It's real faint on the scanned document that we have for the plat. They are showing their
landscape areas. They have extensive landscaping along what would be a collector
type roadway going through here. In the future they are proposing that the road that has
been extended in Silverstone would be extended north through this property to extend
to the other parcel on the east. The staff recognizes the effort that the applicant's
representative has made in trying to accommodate the neighbors. It's always hard when
you come up to rural residential subdivisions that are five acre lots and provider urban
densities, but it's just not cost effective to try to develop with sewer and water with five
acre lots in an urban area of impact. It's a waste of property. I can empathize with the
people that have those lots and I'm not sure how many of them are here again tonight,
but hopefully that this can be designed and constructed and have adequate buffers
between the densities that will be acceptable to the neighbors. We would ask that this
project be approved for annexation and zoning and preliminary plat and Conditional Use
Permit for a planned development with the staff and agency conditions and the
recommendations with the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Corrie: Okay. Any questions at this time?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Okay. Is the applicant here this evening? Is the testimony you're about to give
the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Lee: Yes, it is.

Meridian City Council Meeting

Page 48 of 89
Corrie: Name and address for the record, please.
Lee: My name is Gary Lee with JUB, 250 South Beachwood in Boise, representing the
applicant Sutherland Farms. I think Shari has done a pretty good job of explaining the
project. I just wanted to briefly go over some of the highlights of the application request.
The total plot here is 128 acres, roughly, and the C-G zone that we are requesting of
about 11 acres lies just north of the Ridenbaugh Canal as currently adjacent to existing
city limits and a C-G zone there for Silverstone. The rest of the site is proposed to be R-
4 with a PUD that's 116 acres. Of that PUD area we have about 97 acres in residential
and about 19 and a half acres of office and we threw in multi-family, because it's a little
unknown at this time as exactly what we are going to do with that area, but we wanted
to allow some uses in there for future expansion for L-O type uses and maybe some
multi-family. So any discussion with staff they thought a PUD might be the way to go
and then as part of our development agreement we will agree to conditional use
applications for that site that lies west of the residential area. In addition, we needed to
come up with some estimates for the traffic counts when we do our traffic analysis for a
presentation to ACHD and as part of our application under the CUP we developed a
preliminary site plan of that area and devised some building footprints, we are assuming
they are two story buildings, then we added parking stalls to that and then generated
our traffic counts, so you have kind of a base map to work with in the future and not
have a surprise on a traffic issue. Same thing applied to the commercial general use
area to the north. We did some preliminary layouts for that as well trying to come up
with some reasonable number. But both of those areas will come back to you for a
Conditional Use Permit. The landscaping we provided about 13,8 acres total, 12 and a
half -- or about 12.2 is part of the area that's not street buffer and counts about ten and
a half percent of the total size to meet the PUD requirement. As Shari mentioned, we
did enhance the site with a neighborhood park that's about four acres in size and
included the city's pathway along the Ridenbaugh Canal. Through the preliminary plat
review process there were some concessions made. We eliminated some lots near the
open space in the center of the site just below the pond area. They had four lots there --
fairly sizeable lots. We took those out at the suggestion of staff and we didn't lose the
count, but we added them to the area just to the west, so our overall density stayed the
same. Speaking of that, we got about a three unit to the acre density on this project, so
it's not that high for an R-4 zone. We added some micropaths through a couple of the
blocks at the staff suggestion easterly of that common open space neighborhood park.
And there were some discussions with Mr. Sasser on his five acre piece, which is a
parcel that fronts on Victory Road. He's the gentleman that's building quite a sizeable
home right now and fairly high value and our client decided it was -- there was interest
to work with him and develop some landscape schemes and try to do some things there
that would help mitigate impacts on his property, mainly because his house sits so close
to the property line adjacent to us. Unlike some of the others along the Los Altos
Subdivision, those homes sit back quite a bit further and they have some extensive
landscaping available there already. There is just a couple issues on the staff
recommendations I wanted to briefly discuss with Council and the first one is on the
preliminary plat condition number 21 and that's on page three of the preliminary plat
document. Item 12. It talks about -- excuse me. It's not 12. Item 21 on the restrictions. It
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 49 of 89
includes language that says restrictions shall include single story, as well as peak height
of 25 feet or less on those lots and block adjacent to the border of the project. We have
an opportunity out here to build some basements, we have very low groundwater
conditions and we have some deep sewers and we'd like to maybe modify that condition
to say not to exceed peak height of 25 feet and just scratch the single story portion of it
if that would be acceptable to the Council. I think the effect is the same. The idea was to
keep the building height low. So that would help us out on some multi-story units that
could possibly go in there. Also on item 12 of the preliminary plat -- I got out of
sequence here. It talks a little bit about the phasing of the development and the last
sentence in there I'd like to request that it be deleted. What it says is all development --
all development, however, must be contiguous to a previously improved phase.
Because of the physical constraints on this site, we are going to start our phasing of the
residential development in Victory Road and move northerly and the reason for that is
there is a working horse ranch that lies kind of in the north long east-west portion of the
property and the piece below that -- if I had a pointer I'd show you. I'll just go point to it
right now. That portion that I just pointed to is an area that they feel they can start with
and still keep their ranch operating in the meantime. We have got three phases planned
for that area, phase one, two, and three, and we'd like to start there with our
development and go through the residential portion of it first. However, we still --
depending on what the market does in the next few years for commercial retail multi-
family, there may be a need or a buyer come along that wants to do something with that
commercial area and if we decide to take phase four up north of the canal it won't be
contiguous with phase three. We'd like a little flexibility there to construct that sentence
in there to where we wouldn't have to go contiguous with a previous phase. It would
help us out in our marketing scheme. So you know, the -- in order to develop that first
phase we have to extend sanitary sewer from Silverstone -- Silverstone Subdivision and
it's quite an extension, probably 1,500 to 1,800 feet. So we are going to have some
major infrastructure in place just to get to phase one. We also have to extend the water
from Eagle Road down what is known as Easy Jet Drive with a preliminary plat about a
quarter mile into that development. So we are going to have a lot of that already in
place, so that the city shouldn't have to worry about future phases continuing onto the
north. The bridge issue Shari touched on briefly that crosses the Ridenbaugh and what
we have agreed to with the Highway District is when we come into develop that phase
that's adjacent to that bridge for that stub street, which I think is Knapp Avenue, we
have agreed to develop this and to acquire construction bids for that crossing. And
ACHD will determine a letter of credit amount that we will have to post with them to pay
for our share. Now there wasn't any firm discussions on what our share is, but we
expect it's going to be half. But whatever the number is we will have to deal with that
with the Highway District. So that money will go into an account. When the property due
north of us develops, then they will throw in their share of the bridge and it will be
constructed and that way the connection north to Overland Road will be complete in the
future. I touched on the CUP for the office area that Shari had mentioned and I just
wanted to reiterate on that commercial use north of the Ridenbaugh Canal, that being a
C-G zone and we did have some lots designated on our preliminary plat and I think we
had five lots in there. We'd like to keep that lot count. It may -- the lots mentioned may
move around a little bit based on the uses in the future. But, again, it will be a

Conditional Use Permit for the Council. So with that I would conclude and if you have
any questions I would be glad to answer those or I could answer them after other
testimony.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Mr. Lee, what is that? What is that piece there?
Lee: The north-south piece that you're pointing to that is the wider --
Nary: Yes.
Lee: That will be a public street that connects to Copperpoint Way.
Nary: That's a stub and this is --
Lee: And that's a common access driveway for those five lots.
Nary: There is no stub -- this is just a stub now and there is no other access at this point
to these lots, except from -- well, there isn't one. This is a canal; right?
Lee: Right.
Nary: There will be no access at all.
Lee: There will be when that stub street goes through north on the east side. Way over
on the east. Yeah. Right there.
Nary: Okay.
Lee: It will be contiguous there.
Nary: That's the issue with the bridge. Okay. And then is there -- is there something up
-- this is where the Silverstone is. Where does this stub street -- does it stop right on the
other side of the stub street on that end or something or --
Lee: That's the very east end of Copperpoint Way in the Silverstone plat.
Nary: Okay.
Lee: So it connects to that right of way.
Nary: Okay,
Meridian City Council Meeling
July 16, 2002
Page 51 of 89
Lee: And that road, by the way, is slated to continue on east and it will intersect with
Knapp Lane at the mid mile section, so we have an east-west road and a north-south
road.
Nary: Okay. Thank you.
Corrie: Any other questions? Okay. Thank you.
Lee: Thank you.
Corrie: Okay. This is a Public Hearing. I'll remind you, you have three minutes. Is there
anyone here for the project to testify? Okay. We have some signed up that are against.
I'll go down the list here. Mark Azakowski? Is he here?
Azakowski: I have nothing to say at this time.
Corrie: All right. How about Nancy Hilton? Cassie Shelton. Is the testimony you're
about to give the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Shelton: Yes.
Corrie: Okay. Your name and address for the record, please.
Shelton: My name is Cassie Shelton and I'm a homeowner at 2934 South Goshen Way,
which is in the Muir Wood Subdivision located right there. Yeah. I'm to the east. Yeah.
To the east of this neighborhood. It's been brought to my attention in recent meetings
with -- I believe it's been the Ada County Highway District and other entities that we, as
a neighborhood association, would like to blockade that entrance from our entrance into
their neighborhood, Sutherland Farms -- right there. With posts or some sort of barrier,
because what's going to happen is if there aren't any sort of protective measures taken,
one street, Muir Ridge Drive, I believe, will get all of the construction traffic and whatnot
for that whole neighborhood until it's been developed and the construction workers can
make and forge their own gravel pathway, usually new neighborhoods that are
constructed have a gravel entrance. I know ours currently does right now. That's not an
official entrance, but it's kind of a gravel path that the construction workers use, What's
going to happen is that that's not blocked off right there, at least until the neighborhood
is done, our entrance -- the entrance to our neighborhood Muir Woods is going to have
all of the construction traffic and everything until traffic patterns are in place, I guess,
and I believe that it was the ACHD's recommendations that protective measures be
placed there until the final phase was completed of this neighborhood and I wanted to
just make sure that that was in whatever note it is that you're looking at, because
previously that wasn't mentioned, so -- that's all.
Corrie: Thank you. Dave Barclay. Is the testimony you're about to give the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16. 2002
Page 52 of 89
Barclay: Yes.
Corrie: Name and address for the record.
Barclay: My name is David Barclay. We own the property at 3465 Victory, right at the
entrance to your proposed subdivision. Several years ago we purchased the five and a
half acre plot there with the desire to -- there was an existing home and we wanted to
build an additional home, one for my wife and I and have our daughter and her husband
and our grand children live in the existing home. Silly me. I found out that this was not
permissible under your zoning laws and now from my perspective it is very frustrating to
see someone come in across the street and pretty much given a cart blanche from my
perspective. This whole system has been a very unfriendly experience as far as the
common person. From every meeting it appears that everyone wants to cater to the
developer. As a voter, as a property owner, it's been very very frustrating. Victory is an
extremely small road. I now find out they are going to start the construction from the
south on Victory and progress northward. I repeat. It is a very small road. The original
Planning and Zone meeting where everyone was available or given the opportunity to
express their opinions was at a time when I was unavailable myself and my wife told me
that there would be a second meeting where perhaps I might be able to attend. We
found out that that meeting transpired. Apparently there was a notice the day of the
meeting, but certainly not enough time for me to prepare -- for me to arrange my
schedule so that I could attend. And apparently at that meeting they made some
concessions with the other property owners, i.e., the eight foot wall, other concessions.
But, again, our property is right there directly across the street -- exactly. All right. We
thought perhaps we'd have a berm or something placed there that would block the
headlights and block the traffic and sound, but apparently that -- no one's discussed that
with us. We also were told that the water that's going to come along Victory --
apparently now that's coming from Eagle. And that was perhaps the only carrot that was
offered to me, at least in future development or future use of our property, is that there
would be a waterline there available for us in the event that we would then be able to be
annexed into the city or whatever for us to build a home. And, of course, that's not going
to happen now either. Of course, these are changes that apparently come to light, you
know, just in the last -- at this meeting here. In summary, it's been a very frustrating
experience and I know that the trend nowadays is for city councils to try to generate the
revenue and apparently this is a means of generating revenue, but the impact of the
people in the surrounding area is tremendous and, again, a very frustrating experience.
Corrie: Okay. Any questions for Dave? Okay. Sue? Is Nancy Hilton here yet? Okay. Pat
Maley. Is the testimony you're about to give the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but
the truth, so help you God?
Maley: It is.
Corrie: Okay. Name and address, please.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 53 of 89
Maley: My name is Pat Maley, 12449 West Muir Woods Drive. My issue has already
been addressed once, but just for clarification sake, we live on the street that would pick
up a fair amount of traffic -- yeah. That one. From the east end of Sutherland Farms.
There was a presentation made by a group of Muir Wood homeowners to the ACHD
and in ACHD's consideration of their preliminary plat it's my understanding that they
placed a condition for the installation of temporary bollards across Hollendale, which is
where the mouse is right now and also across Knapp, at least on the north and I believe
on the south, until such time as Knapp Road is connected to Overland Road. The
reasoning for that is that the preliminary traffic study that was submitted along with this
indicated that in the p.m. rush hour Muir Ridge Drive would have one car about every 15
seconds. It's certainly not developed for that. It's not designed for that now. It's 37 feet
curb to curb, a 50 foot right of way, has a 138 degree deflection curve that's right in the
pathway of that -- there is a place where the major entry into our common area, our
park, is located -- Muir Ridge Drive has an island in it and so if some child were to ride a
bike, a skateboard, scooter, or run out in front of a car, there is place for a car to swerve
and so we respectfully request, again, that you maintain the provision that we
understand is in the temporary -- the preliminary plat that would require the installation
of temporary bollards until such time as the Overland Road connection is complete.
Thank you.
Corrie: Thank you. Rodney Reyes? Am I pronouncing it correctly? Is the testimony
you're about to give the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you
God?
Reyes: Yes.
Corrie: Name and address, please.
Reyes: My name is Rodney Reyes. I live at 3465 East Victory Road. I live in Dave
Barclay's home. What -- to kind of recap on what he stated about living across the street
from that beginning subdivision there. As you all know, Victory Road is very small and
we have even had a case in the winter where we've had a car come into our yard and
take out a tree. Just to some type of maybe like what Dave said, a berm or something.
Nothing has been said to us on -- like he stated and that and I do have four small
children that like to play out in the front yard. My -- the road actually sits probably, I don't
know, four feet from my yard. I have dirt and then I have my grass and just kind
concerned about what they might do to help with that and with all the construction traffic
going through Victory Road.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: I just have a question.
Corrie: Rodney.
Meridian City Council Meeling
July 16, 2002
Page 54 of 89
De Weerd: Now does their entrance into the subdivision align with your driveway?
Where is it in relation to your front yard?
Reyes: My wife can answer that.
Corrie: Is the testimony you're about to give the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but
the truth, so help you God?
A.Reyes: Yes.
Corrie: Okay. And would you take that mike with you right there.
De Weerd: And if you will state your name and address for the record.
A. Reyes: Amber Reyes, 3465 East Victory Road. This -- we have a field right here. My
home starts right where this road and that -- our driveway is over here.
De Weerd: So that road would shine into your house?
A.Reyes: Into mine and my little girl's bedrooms when they would turn onto Victory
Road.
De Weerd: And do you have any landscaping -- any existing landscaping that would
help?
A.Reyes: We have two trees. One was taken out. So, yeah, we still have one existing.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you.
A.Reyes: Could I ask a question or do you want me to -- okay. Just from hearing the
gentleman speak right now, the sewer is already coming in off of Eagle Road. So my
question is why are they starting the first phase to the south. Right there. Why is it not --
if you already have the Thousand Springs Subdivision on Eagle and then you have Muir
Woods to the east, it would make sense to put a subdivision in between those two,
instead of coming off of Victory Road where you have five acre lots. Start your first
phase off of Eagle Road where you already have a subdivision adjacent to it. So I would
just like to ask maybe consideration of the first phase be changed to coming off of Eagle
Road. Thank you.
Corrie: Okay. Is Nancy back in or is she still gone? Is there anyone else that would like
to issue testimony at this time? Okay. Is the testimony you're about to give the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Roundy: Yes.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 55 of 89
Corrie: Name and address, please.
Roundy: My name is Joyce Roundy. R-o-u-n-d-y. I live at 4178 Los Altos Drive. I guess
my question -- forgive me, I came in late and perhaps it was already addressed, but I
live where that -- see where the arrow is? I live on Los Altos Drive. It's Ranchos Los
Altos Subdivision. Shall I go point?
Corrie: Yes, please.
Roundy: Right in here. I think right in there.
Corrie: Okay.
Roundy: Our subdivision, as you may know, was built back in the 70s and we have
large lots. I mean the smallest piece of land that anyone owns in there is two acres.
Ours happens to be a two acre lot that butts right up against Sutherland Farms. The
people to the east of us have two acres. The people to the west of us have three acres.
The people across the street from us have three and a half acres. Now, granted, we
realize that we were built in a different era and we could not hope to maintain those size
of lots forever. I guess what we have requested in the past -- and I just don't know how
this turned out yet, is that we have some transition lot sizes, rather than quarter acres
up against us. To the east of Sutherland Farms, as you know, is Muir Woods and that
also comes up against Rancho Los Altos. I understand that that's Boise and what we
are considering here is Meridian and policies are different perhaps, but they did give us
at least some better transition sizes, a third to a half acre lots up against the large lots of
Rancho Los Altos. Yeah. Right where you're pointing there. Has that been established,
the size of the lots up against ours?
Corrie: I don't know. We will have to ask the--
Roundy: Asking a quarter acre. Is that what you're saying? I guess, then, I would put in
my request that they be larger than that to give us a better transition. Another question.
At one time the developer did indicate that they would be willing to keep the level of
homes along Rancho Los Altos to one story, rather than two and I guess I'm asking,
again, is that -- does that still stand?
Nary: What is that change? So there is only -- they are 25 foot height, but it could be
two story, as long as it's within the 25 foot height requirement.
Roundy: Is the minimum height for one story 25 feet?
Nary: It kind of depends.
De Weerd: They are asking that basements to be included. That's why they didn't want
the two story requirements.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 56 of 89
Roundy: Oh. I see.
De Weerd: They would build down, rather than up.
Roundy: Yes. Okay. It was the height. I know at one time they said, well, only one
restriction should be required of those lots surrounding us. My comment would be those
are very compatible restrictions -- those are compatible restrictions, because if you have
a larger lot you have more room to build on a single level. Thank you.
Corrie: Is there anyone else? Yes, ma'am. Is the testimony you're about to give the
truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Renke: I do.
Bird: Name and address, please.
Renke: My name is Caroline Renke, 3595 East Victory Road, and I'm just asking -- I did
send a letter to the City Council, faxed a letter in. You received that. And the concern is
our home is directly where that access road is to the south. The headlights would shine
directly into our living room, dining room. But builder has made -- the engineers have
made agreements to work the neighbor to the east, Mr. Sasser, putting up eight foot
fences and dense trees, they haven't said anything about even putting a fence to stop
the lights from shining directly -- the cars that are egressing to the south onto Victory,
those lights will come directly into our home if they turn toward the east. And we have a
concern regarding the development of phase one, that they are reaching the furthest
that they can to annex into the city and developing that without even knowing what they
are going to be doing, what the economy is going to be doing and to develop a density
of those homes and commercial. But they want to be sure and reach as far as Victory to
get that in and then it's easier to decide what they want to do in the future and that's --
and Victory is a very busy road and it's difficult for us to get out and turn east onto
Victory the way it is now with an access road facing us. I ask you to consider the traffic.
Corrie: Thank you. Anyone else? Tom?
Kuntz: Mayor Corrie --
Corrie: You're already sworn.
Kuntz: Tom Kuntz, the parks department. We just want to go on record in regards to the
park, the private neighborhood park that they have there. Our comments were
submitted to the Planning and Zoning Commission as part of staff comments on May
15th. Our recommendation was to delete Jots -- I believe it was 66 through 73 on Block
1. They deleted four of those, but there still remains three lots in the southeast corner of
that neighbor park. We just want to go on record that we still recommend that those
three lots be deleted, so that the park size would go from four acres to five acres, so
that in the future when we received a call from the homeowners association that states
Meridian City Council Meeling
July 16,2002
Page 57 of 89
that we do not want to -- pay to maintain this neighborhood park any longer, would the
city consider taking it over, our minimum park size is five acres. If those three lots were
to be deleted, not only would it enable us to take that over at some point if the
homeowners find that to be a burden, but it also would make a much better
neighborhood park if those three lots were deleted and we just want to go on record.
Thank you.
Corrie: Anyone else? Okay. If the developer can answer the questions that have been
brought up by the Public Hearing.
Lee: Gary Lee with JUB Engineers. I guess I will start with -- I'll do them in order. There
was discussion about the stub streets going into Muir Woods Subdivision and also
going to Los Altos, Hollandale Drive and Knapp Lane. It's true that ACHD had
recommended those stubs to be installed and the City of Meridian staff agreed. At the
ACHD Commission meeting they decided that they'd make a compromise and request
that bollards be installed on those two streets temporarily until the bridge is constructed
across the Ridenbaugh Canal and that road extends to Overland Road in the future and
the bollards could be removed. And as you have seen in your staff comments, they did
make that recommendation. I might just add a key note to this. The traffic study that we
had performed did not anticipate those roads being blocked, except for Knapp Lane and
it was our recommendation that it not go through at this time. So there was traffic
movement through Muir Woods Subdivision, That traffic analysis was reviewed by the
Highway District and approved and they indicated level of service on the intersections
affected were acceptable. The next item talks about -- I think Dave Barclay indicated --
had questions about the water on Victory Road. As far as a requirement of the City of
Meridian, we will have to install water along our frontage. When we extend that water
from Eagle Road through our development, it will be used for future phases and be
positioned along the public road that we have planned for and then when we get to the
first phase we will have to build the water along Victory. It will be a stretch to the
adjacent property frontage and will be available to anyone adjacent to it on either end.
So there will be water there. There will be landscaping along Victory Road. That's been
a concern. The ordinance requires I guess a 25 foot buffer on Victory, as I recall. I
brought along a copy of an aerial topography map that we had prepared for the
preliminary plat and I'll pass this out. It kind of gives you a better representation of
where the houses are in relation to our entry road.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: So, Mr. Lee, while we are looking at that plat there, that thick black line, that was
the 25 foot setback?
Lee: Yes. Along Victory.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 58 of 89
Nary: Is it the landscape buffer that's a berm or is it a landscape buffer that's just flat? I
think the concern was about lights and all those types of things.
Lee: Well, I don't recall exactly what was on the landscape plan and maybe Shari does,
but it can be bermed if that's what the Council would like to see. I don't see a problem
with that. It seems to be the norm of most developments.
Nary: That's what I thought, too, but [ just thought I'd ask.
Lee: But not always. But it could be bermed. I don't see any real reason not to. So that [
think addresses the road offset issue. As you can see, the outbound lane on that street
coming out of Sutherland Farms, the headlights are going to come out and it will direct
southerly along the fence line of the pasture. So traffic turning east there may be some
lights that could reflect on their houses as it turns. Most of the traffic in our study
indicated going west. So it shouldn't be impacted that much. We talked about the Knapp
and Hollandale Drive and the level of service; by the way, on Muir Woods Drive and
Cloverdale as a result of this development, they have a level of service C in the morning
peak hours and a level service 0 in the p.m. I think prior to development they were both
level of service C. So there is some impact, but not enough to warrant any change. We
talked about the berm on Victory Road. The entrance alignment. The sewer that the --
the sewer to this property has to come through Silverstone. The sewer in Thousand
Springs right now is not deep enough to service this property, nor is it in the proper
drainage area for the city. So we have to bring the sewer up through -- from Silverstone
through Sutherland Farm, it's fairly deep, and it's designed to service not only this side,
but all the properties across Victory Road to the south and down Victory Road as well.
So it's fairly deep and that's the only way we can get it through the project. And as I
explained earlier, that we wanted to maintain the ranch operation and reserve the ranch
facility and start our residential phase on the south. And we discussed the height of the
homes along Los Altos Subdivision. We'd like to restrict that to 25 feet, if possible, if you
would be willing to do that. The lot sizes along there that are orientated on the
preliminary plat, most of them are in the 10 to 12 thousand square foot range, so that
they are larger than the R-4. And Mr. Kuntz's comment about park, we did eliminate four
of the seven lots in there. We wanted to maintain at least three lots in that area to try to
help our density overall. We'd like to have something a little higher, but it just wasn't
working out with the amount of transition that we were doing from the smaller lots in the
interior to the larger lots on the exterior. As you can see from the plan it still leaves us a
pretty good open view of the park and eliminating those three lots along the east side of
the park I don't think would really greatly enhance the view. Plus it's a home on a park
that's neighborhood maintained. There is an irrigation pond there. It's fairly sizeable. We
will have to maintain that facility for our irrigation system. I'm not sure if it went to the city
what would happen to that park -- or that pond, So there is some uses there we need for
the development other than just the park. I think I addressed most of the comments that
were brought up. Do you have any questions?
Corrie: I believe we had -- I didn't hear about why the first phase on Victory Road and
not Eagle.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 59 of 89
Lee: Well, the Eagle Road portion is slated for that office area. As you well know, there
is a lot of office facilities coming in on Eagle Road with Silverstone and also EI Dorado
and the developer right now doesn't have a buyer who wants to build some office space,
nor a multi-family. If he did I'm sure he would to start there as well. So we are wanting to
declare our presence with the development by starting in a market that we know will sell
fairly quickly and that will be the residential area and those are the large -- some of the
larger lots in that southern area as well that are 8,000 plus square feet and Jots ten and
12 thousand square foot lots are along the border. So from a market strategy and also
keeping the operation of the ranch going in the interim, we wanted to do our first three
phases on the south end. It's an economical thing for them to do. Although they still
have quite a bit of off-site cost they are going to have to bear in that first phase. Did I
answer that --
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Mr. Lee, is this an out-parcel right here?
Lee: Yes, it is.
Nary: And the homeowner that you have the agreement with, Mr. Sasser, they are over
on this part?
Lee: They are to the east of that finger on the south on Victory Road. Right there.
Nary: Okay.
Lee: Three five acre parcels which front on Victory Road right there next to each other.
Nary: And who owns the -- so this isn't owned by Sutherland Farms or anything?
Lee: No, it's not.
Nary: Okay.
Lee: The closest neighbor we talked to them about the access in there and ACHD has
made the requirement to provide them access to our commercial collector road.
Nary: One other thing. On this -- on Eagle Road I know there is a buffer requirement as
well. Is that -- does this buffer here look like that or is it taller? Isn't this 25 feet on both
sides?
Lee: It should be 35 feet. I'm not sure how it got put in the way it is on that picture.
Meridian City Council Meeling
July 16, 2002
Page 60 of 89
Nary: That's just a drawing, but it's the same on both sides?
Lee: Same on both sides. Yes. I think that's the landscape plan we are looking at. Can't
tell for sure.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: The entrance off of Eagle, what phase is that in?
Lee: That will probably be in -- well, the actual entrance will be built in phase four. There
won't be any platting, I don't believe, along that road; we are just going to plat the
roadway itself to get our second entrance.
De Weerd: So what are you -- I don't have anything that shows me what phase four is,
so how much of that area off of Victory is built out before you get phase four in?
Lee: The design that we have right here -- I think there is 112 lots that we counted in
that area that we will do, but there is a stipulation in your staff comments that we have
to build that access out to Eagle Road at the 101 st building permit.
De Weerd: Okay.
Lee: That gives us our second emergency access as well.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Mr. Lee, I'm sure it was already said, but was this is green space here and green
space here? Is that what that is?
Lee: Yes.
Nary: How much -- what is the point of that? It seems so small.
Lee: Well, it is and I think that the only reason it really turned out that way is the design
of the town homes, the dimensions that we thought it required in the longitudinal length
of the lot. That was a leftover area and we didn't want to have a whole lot of people's
back yards backing up against that collector street, so we left that landscaped area.
When those limited office space facilities come in there will be landscaping
requirements along that front as well so it will all blend in.
Nary: Couldn't you put these three lots in there?
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 61 of 89
Lee: Well, that area is a low spot in the property and we had hoped to use it for a storm
water facility. And it's adjacent to that commercial and limited office area and I'm not
sure how it would fit in there effectively. We'd like to have a couple lots against the park.
I think there is higher value in that. Those are fairly sizeable lots, too.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: So you will have open space in what phase?
Lee: Let me grab this other map.
De Weerd: So, then, you have how many people living there before you have open
space? I guess that's a way to do a planned use development, not to have any open
space until your final phase.
Lee: Well, looking at condition -- I think there is a condition in there that we have to build
that park so we have the roadway entrance is the wording. I don't know if Shari
remembers exactly what condition that is. I remember reading that earlier. Certainly
we'd like to get through the first four phases, because that's the area that we are trying
to separate from the horse ranch operation, but it could be included in the phase that is
phase five when we start really getting into the horse ranch operations and all that. And
that would make sense to put it in there, although it's going to be kind of removed from
where phase five is.
De Weerd: Where is phase five?
Lee: It's just west of the open space. The park. Phase five is for the townhouse units
and that loop street just east of the townhouse units.
De Weerd: And what is phase four?
Lee: It's the balance of that southerly piece that goes down the southeast corner. Right
in there.
De Weerd: Oh. Can you put it in in phase four along with the street?
Lee: I could -- well, I guess [ could make that suggestion. We want to build that street all
the way out to Eagle Road, because that's going to put us over the 101 st home anyway
if we take that much more in. And there may be as far as phase five, if that is part of
phase four, those lots that front that east-west collector street. In the CUP application.
There you got it. The 101st permit. Same with the roadway. We have to come in. I
thought [ saw that earlier. I just couldn't remember where.
De Weerd: Well, it talks about permits and not phasing.
Meridian City Council MeeUng

Lee: Right. I guess that makes sense.
De Weerd: So you could be in phase six and not have a building permit on either of
those.
Lee: Okay.
De Weerd: On the street or the open space.
Lee: Could be. I think that 101 number was arrived at as an emergency access more
than anything else. When we do phase four we will have to build the road. And it may
make sense to go ahead build the park then, too.
De Weerd: So rather than stating number of occupancy permits, you would feel
comfortable with stating a phase?
Lee: Yeah. I think it would end up being the same thing as the number.
De Weerd: Now the drawing you gave us with the property owners across the street,
this one house right across from your entrance definitely will be impacted by the cars
coming out of that subdivision. You have mitigation of some of the neighboring
subdivisions. Could you help them with maybe a couple trees in that front to help filter
the headlights?
Lee: Well, the headlights that you're going to get I guess would be the ones turning east
and the number on the traffic study during that time frame is pretty small. As I
remember, it was less than ten during the peak p.m. hours. I don't know if that's a
significant impact to them or not. But it's something we could certainly work with them
on and maybe think about some sort of buffer there, as long as it's not extravagant. But
I wouldn't think the impact wouldn't be that great from the numbers.
De Weerd: Well, studies have been known to be wrong.
Lee: Yeah. That's true, too.
De Weerd: I don't know how you study the behavior of a driver, so -- now Shari also had
mentioned on your landscaping to clarify the dense mixture -- the mixture of the trees
and that berm that's supposed to provide some density. Did you have a landscape plan
that suggested plantings and -- I guess, Shari, that can be worked out with staff.
Lee: I think that's the agreement with the Sassers that you're talking about.
Stiles: Their memorandum of understanding says it will be agreed to -- mutually agreed
to between Sassers and the applicant.

De Weerd: Okay. That's aliI have.
Corrie: Any questions? Yes, Gary.
Smith: Mr. Mayor and Council Members, just for the record, this subdivision will be
subjected to a latecomers fee for sewer service through the Silverstone Subdivision and
there may be a -- depending upon the coverage, a well development latecomers fee
also. Those values have not yet been determined, as you're aware, but they will be.
Thank you.
Corrie: Thank you, Gary. Okay. Any other discussion?
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: I know the applicant had mentioned that water would be run down along
Victory, so -- for future development. Sewer needs to be stubbed to the property line as
well. So future development south of Victory would have stubs off that sewer and water;
is that correct, Gary?
Smith: Council Member de Weerd, Mayor and Council, I can't remember the exact
layout of our master plan, but if the master plan requires the area to the south and east
to be served through this area, then it will need to be -- it will need to be stubbed to the
boundaries of the subdivision and we will require that on the basis of our master plan as
their development plan is submitted.
De Weerd: So anyone south of this property should check with you and the master plan,
but you would have water available?
Smith: Yes,
De Weerd: Is that what I understand?
Smith: Yes. Water will be stubbed to the boundary of the subdivision.
De Weerd: Okay.
Corrie: Any other questions? I will entertain a motion to close the Public Hearing at this
point.
McCandless: Mr. Mayor, so moved.
Nary: Second.

Any further discussion? All those in favor of the motion say aye. All the ayes, Motion
carried.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.

De Weerd: I have none.
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Okay. I'll entertain a motion on the request for annexation and zoning of 127.7 --
is that .74 of .64, Shari? One says it's .64 and the other says it's .74. I guess you can
correct that in the minutes there from the thing. So 127.74 acres from RUT to a C-G, L-
0, and R-4 zones for proposed Sutherland Farms by Sutherland Farms, Inc.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I'd move the approval of AZ 02-004, request for annexation and zoning of 127.74
acres from RUT to a C-G, L-O, and R-4 zones for the proposed Sutherland Farms by
Sutherland Farms, Inc., east of South Eagle Road and north of East Victory Road,
pursuant to all the staff comments and recommendations from the Planning and Zoning
Commission. I don't think there is anything else on the annexation. And for Findings of
Facts and Conclusions of Law and Decision and Order to be prepared.
Bird: Second.
Corrie: Motion has been made and seconded to request annexation and zoning. Any
further discussion? Hearing none, roll-call vote, Mr. Berg.
Roll-call vote: McCandless, nay; Nary, aye; DeWeerd, aye; Bird, aye.
Corrie: Okay. Motion is approved.
MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES, ONE NAY.
Corrie: Item No. 20 is a Public Hearing, request for preliminary plat approval of 308
building lots and 30 other lots on 127.64 acres in a proposed L-O, C-G, and R-4 zone
for Sutherland Farms.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Meridian City Council Meeling
July 16, 2002
Page 65 of 89
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Before I make a motion I guess there was some discussion on this particular
issue, I think most of the testimony was regarding the preliminary plat and not the
annexation, but I think -- I think the developer has addressed the majority of them or will
address the other ones that are remaining, since I do think the Reyes and the other
folks on Victory Road raise a legitimate point. There may not be a lot of cars today, but
there is going to be a lot of cars in the not too distant future turning out of that
subdivision on Victory Road and so I don't think mitigating that with some trees is an
unreasonable request. I think that's very reasonable and fair. And the phasing issue,
you know, no matter where you start someone doesn't like it, so I don't know that there
really is a whole lot to address with that. I think there is always some business reason
for starting on one place or another. I don't think there is really a whole lot we can do
with that. The issue on the lot sizes, I think the lots are at least a little bit larger, they
could be a little larger than that, you know, I guess it's open to debate, but I don't think
it's an unreasonable amount. The limitation from the height without the story wording is
probably fine. We will be hassling over that for years anyway. I think that the parks
department request, though, on those three lots on that park, I really think I'd agree with
the parks department. Having lived very close to a park that small, three houses right on
top of it I think are a little troubling. I think the parks points are valid. You know, I guess
I'm a little concerned about those three lots there. They have already eliminated four to
make the park a little bit more of a usable open space. I guess I'm a little concerned
about the ability -- I guess the discussions were for me, I don't know if anyone has that
same concern about having that there. I think the rest of that open space is not really
usable. That little tiny green space is not really anything of any note, and the other
place, obviously, it's a swale, so there is not really as much, so I think to make that a
much better situation, I guess it would be my preference that they take those three lots
out and that be one big piece as the park, instead of that one piece and put the houses
on top of it. But I don't know that the other concerns that -- I think the other issues that
we have talked about, the bridge and the bollards to prevent the access are -- I think
everybody is in agreement with, so I think the other thing to address that I guess I just
have a concern about those three lots on the park.
McCandless: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. McCandless.
McCandless: Unfortunately, I'm going to continue being consistent when I vote against
putting numerous subdivisions on roads that are too small to handle them. Victory Road
certainly is and South Eagle Road is no less either. And I just think we should enlarge
the roads, get the infrastructure in there before we start urban sprawl. And I will vote
against it for that reason.
Corrie: Okay. Any comments?
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 66 of 89
Corrie: Mrs. de Wee rd.
De Weerd: I guess since that's a homeowner's association park and so I don't have any
opinion one way or another on the three lots. You know, I would agree that if the city
were ever to take it over, that it would not be considered without -- with those lots in
there and so that's something that the applicant has to keep in mind when they develop
that, if that would ever be a request, if you put those lots in there, don't count on asking
the city to take it over. And maybe that needs to be a note on the plat, so the
homeowners association understands that. I do think there needs to be some mitigation
with the property owner across the street from that entrance for a little screening. We
would need to put in a variance for the height of the eight foot fence or allow the eight
foot fence where it's been noted and, you know, I have concerns as Council Member
McCandless has on streets, but the street counts and the information that we have
doesn't give me any information that says those streets aren't adequate at this time.
ACHD has given them a level of service and I'm not tracking anything there, so I can't--
I would sure love to second-guess them, but I won't. And so, Mr. Nary, good luck on
your motion there.
Corrie: Any other comments?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Okay. I sense -- I will entertain a motion, then, for the preliminary plat.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I guess I'll just see what happens. I would move the approval of PP 02-004,
request for preliminary plat approval for the 308 building lots and 30 other lots on
127.64 or .74 acres in a proposed L-O, C-G and R-4 zones for proposed Sutherland
Farms by Sutherland Farms, Inc., east of South Eagle Road and East Victory Road,
pursuant to the staff comments, recommendation of the Planning and Zoning
Commission and in addition to the testimony tonight that the applicant will assist in
mitigating the light spillage from this subdivision on the adjacent property across Victory
Road, that they will -- let's see. I think that was -- I think that was really the only issue of
concern with that. And that they eliminate the three lots that are currently on the park
and that -- other than that, all the other comments, as well as the comments from the
applicant, and that Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law and Decision and Order
be prepared.
Corrie: Motion has been made. Do I hear a second?
Bird: I'll second it.
Meridian City Council Meeling
July 16, 2002
Page 67 of 89
Corrie: Okay. Motion has been made and seconded.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Discussion, Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: Also on the preliminary plat did you want to note the peak height?
Nary: Oh.
De Weerd: Instead of the two stories, the 25 foot? And, as well, the order of phasing?
Nary: In regards to the park?
De Weerd: In regards to the order that it needs to be in. Item No. 12.
Nary: Yeah. Let me see. Which one was the one for the height? Oh, Number 21 of the
site specific requirements, that we could delete the language saying single story, but
keep the language that says peak height of 25 feet or less and -- did you say the --
De Weerd: Yeah.
Nary: Site-specific requirement--
De Weerd: On the phasing schedule.
Nary: I guess I don't really know what the -- about the contiguous issue?
De Weerd: Yeah.
Nary: That it needs to be contiguous to a previously approved phase? I guess I don't --
at this juncture, based on just what was asked, I don't really want to -- I'd rather that it
be contiguous, at least at this juncture until we know a lot more about what it is they
actually want to develop. They can always come and ask to amend it. But at least so we
know it's going to be developed, because I think the concern -- I agree with Mr. Lee, that
he's spent all this money to bring the sewer line and the water line down here, you're
going to finish developing it. There is a big hole in downtown Boise that's got a crane in
it that's not getting developed very quick and so I'd rather it be contiguous until they
have at least some idea of what they want to do differently and they can always ask to
do it differently, then. So if that's okay by the second?
Bird: That's fine with the second.
Nary: Okay.
Corrie: Any other discussion?

Roll-call vote: McCandless, nay; Nary, aye; DeWeerd, aye; Bird, aye.
MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES, ONE NAY.
Corrie: All right. I will entertain a motion on the request for a Conditional Use Permit,
005.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: [ move the approval of CUP 02-005, request for a Conditional Use Permit for a
Planned Unit Development for residential, commercial, and office park development by
Sutherland Farms, east of South Eagle Road and north of East Victory Road, pursuant
to staff comments and recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission and for
Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law and Decision and Order to be prepared.
Bird: Second.
Corrie: Okay. Motion has been made and seconded. Any further comments or
discussion?
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: It seems to me like we have had some comments on the open spaces that
need to be built as well. Did you want to make that contingent on building permits or
phasing?
Nary: Well, the problem I guess I have with the phasing is the phasing is decided by the
developer, so I guess I don't want to get in an argument that we figure on phase four
and they figure on phase three and I don't know that we could really enforce that. The
development permits are a mechanism to enforce that, because that's at least
something we have control over the outcome of how that gets issued, but phasing is
simply -- in the final plat stage they can come back and develop the ground the way
they want to build it and they are going to build it based on market and I think it's just
hard for us to enforce it if we do it based on that and I think that using the building code
is the tool the city has to do that.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 69 of 89
De Weerd: Can you -- for a phase -- a phasing -- phase four or 101 building permits,
whichever is sooner?
Nary: Well, [ think he said they were the same thing. I think his testimony was that they
would be built -- by the time they got to building 101 homes that would be phase four.
They wouldn't be 101 homes and not build a park, so -- unless you want to -- it's
difficult, I guess, from a marketing standpoint to try to force when is that park the right
time to develop. The figure 101 is at least something that is agreeable and was realistic
on the amount that was being sold, so -- yeah. I think it's on the CUP -- or on the
preliminary plat, but I think -- it's on the preliminary plat.
De Weerd: It has the eight-foot fence.
Nary: Yes. It has the eight-foot fence as a condition, so -- so I don't think there is really
anything to change in the recommendation.
Corrie: There was a second?
Bird: Yes. Second.
Corrie: Motion has been made and seconded for the request for Conditional Use Permit.
Any further discussion? Roll-call vote, Mr. Berg.
Roll-call vote: McCandless, nay; Nary, aye; DeWeerd, aye; Bird, aye.

by Falcon Creek, 3365 North Ten Mile Road. And at this time I will open the Public
Hearing on both the annexation and zoning and preliminary plat. And will invite staff's
comments first. Same way with the Public Hearing, the developer has five minutes and
the other people on the sign-up sheet are -- where they are now -- would have three
minutes.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Meridian City Council Meeting

Page 70 of 89
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: I just still have one comment and I'm sorry that most of the neighbors left,
but on the Sutherland Farms, we realize that traffic is an issue, but we have some major
business parks going in, in that area. If we don't put housing there, we are creating even
more traffic, because people won't live near where they work and that has been a goal
of the Council is trying to get that kind of situation and get people living around where
they are working and, boy, Cherie, if I could figure out how to get roads first, I would be
beating that door with you. Unfortunately, ACHD I think is in the same situation, we are
always behind the dime.
Corrie: Or the nickel, as the case may be. Okay. All right. Thank you. Staff.
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, this property was the item of the discussion in a previous
application that was before the City Council for request for a text amendment to the
Meridian Comprehensive Plan. This application does still fall under the existing
Comprehensive Plan and not the new Comprehensive Plan. The applicant has changed
the proposal to request a light industrial zone for two lots on the northern boundary of
the property where they are proposing that the -- a waste transfer station and the
Sanitary Services Company be permitted to go in. I'd just like to remind Council that a
Conditional Use Permit was not submitted as part this application, so any conditions
that you might place on this would have to be included in the annexation and if that
includes some of the details of any site specific details they have provided, that you
have -- that you specifically note those so it is included in the development agreement.
As a result of a request for a Comp Plan text amendment, the City Council did approve
a text change to allow -- to add one sentence that said limited light industrial uses may
be considered in the area immediately adjacent to the wastewater treatment plant.
However, no map amendment was approved at that time. With the request for light
industrial zoning immediately adjacent to the wastewater treatment plant and the
remainder of the property left at L-O, the current Comprehensive Plan does not
currently support that zoning. The one-acre park that's previously shown on the plan
has been removed. This cul-de-sac has been shortened from the cul-de-sac originally
shown. Also they have provided flag lots to provide access direct frontage and street
access to this lot and also this lot. They have submitted elevations for the Sanitary
Service office maintenance building and waste transfer station. The Planning and
Zoning Commission did recommend denial of this application due in part to their
determination that the use did not constitute light industrial use. Meridian city code does
define that light industrial zone as encouraging the development of manufacturing and
wholesale establishments which are clean, quiet, and free of hazardous and
objectionable elements such as noise, odor, dust, smoke, glare and that are operated
entirely or almost entirely within enclosed structures, uses incompatible with light
industrial not permitted and strip development is prohibited. This was from the staff --
the staff report dated June 10th, 2001. The applicant has -- the representative has
submitted a letter dated June 7th, 2002. There has to be an error on this date, June
10th, 2001. It has to be 2002, I think. We do have a letter from the applicant's
representative outlining some additional considerations for this project. They are
Meridian City Council Meeling
July 16, 2002
Page 71 of 89
discussing things that would be appropriate in a mixed-use classification of MU-WTP.
That classification does not yet exist. They have proposed that all developments
proposed in the MU-WTP area will require approval as a planned development through
the conditional use process. The uses that they are proposing would include normal
residential uses -- actually, this is from a work session the City Council discussed this.
Existing residential uses may remain. Professional office uses were acceptable.
Warehousing uses, flex space uses, office/warehouse uses, business park uses, and
mini storage, We would not have a particular argument with that should that actually be
put into our zoning ordinance and designated as such within the zoning ordinance. The
only issue we may have -- I know we have included in the Comprehensive Plan, but we
would need a better definition of what a business park was, if that were to be included
as a permitted use. Unless you have questions for me, I will let the audience speak for
themselves. I know the applicant's representative is here and she is ready to answer
any of your questions. I believe one request that the staff would have, should you
choose to approve this annexation and zoning, is that all of the uses require going
through a conditional use permit and that the uses allowed in the development
agreement be very specific as to the type of uses that will be permitted with a
Conditional Use Permit. That's alII have, unless you have further questions of me.
Corrie: Okay. Any questions of staff?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Okay. Is the applicant here this evening? The representative? Okay. What we
have here, usually we have five minutes for a Public Hearing and we are using two of
them, so you have ten minutes. You don't have to use it if you don't need to. Raise your
right hand. Is the testimony you're about to give the truth, the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth, so help you God?
Ford: Yes.
Corrie: Name and address, please.
Ford: Good evening, Honorable Mayor, City Council Members, for the record Ashley
Ford, Hubble Engineering, 71 South Allen Street in Meridian. I'm here tonight
representing Falcon Creek LLC, the applicant on the subdivision and SSC, the applicant
regarding the transfer station. Tonight we are before you with a request for annexation
and zoning of lots one and two to l-L, zoning of lots three through 11 to L-O, the
approval of Utility Park Subdivision and approval of the development agreement for an
office with four shop areas and a waste transfer station on lot two. As Shari mentioned
at the April 17th, 2002, work session, the Council recognized that this property needed
a special land use designation due to the approximately to the Meridian waste treatment
plant. The Council directed staff to create a new land use classification, a Mixed Use
Waste Treatment Plan to the site. At the work session the Council discussed the type of
uses that would be appropriate to the new mixed-use classification. Shari has outlined
those for you. I-L does not seem an appropriate land use within the land use
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 72 of 89
classification. The Council also indicated that the proposed L-O zoning would be an
appropriate transition buffer between the I-L for the northern portion of the site and the
residential subdivision to the south. We do understand there are a number of concerns
that the Planning and Zoning Commission and city staff have in regards to a transfer
station for the site. Staff is concerned regarding the design of the transfer station's lack
of means to secure the northern elevation of the building. Color photos have been
provided to staff and I believe Shari has those in the presentation and they show other
transfer stations that are located in Idaho. Typically these facilities do not have closing
doors and if they were placed on this transfer station, these doors would remain up
during normal business hours. The only reason for such facilities to have doors is to
provide security measures. With the proposed security fencing that we have around the
site, we are requesting not to put one on the facility. The orientation of the building is
such that it's facing away from the residential uses and towards the treatment plant.
Now as staff mentioned it's several hundred feet away from the residences. We realize
there are concerns in regards to noise, odor, and litter and the potential impact to the
surrounding neighbors. Steve Sedlacek of SSC is here tonight and has taken noise
readings at their facilities at Franklin Road, locations near the subdivision, and the Latah
County transfer station. A copy of these results should have been included in your
packet and I will get Steve the opportunity to address these findings in a few moments.
Landscaping and berming will help buffer any noise transmission on the site. A detailed
landscaping plan showing the height of the berm and the type of landscaping has been
submitted with this application. The applicant is requesting Council to keep in mind a
fully landscaped berm will provide -- will be provided on the southern part, which will
have mature landscaping by the time the transfer station will be built in five years. Trees
are excellent for breaking up noise is common to this Commission. Solid walls are
where you have issues with the noise bouncing off the wall and bouncing up and out. It
is also likely buildings in the propose office portion of the project will already be
constructed, thus providing even more of a sound barrier between the residences and
the site. The compactor for the transfer station is located within the building and is
enclosed in a concrete encasement to help buffer the noise radiated. But this also help
keep out any sort of debris, trash, litter from leaving the facility. The compactor is an
electric motor, which is very different noise wise from a hydraulic motor. Noise should
be the equivalent to that of a waste treatment plant and, like I said, I will have Steve
maybe elaborate a little bit more on that. In regards to the issue with litter and odor, both
DEQ and Central District Health will require a litter and odor control plan before any
permits for this site will be issued. Also, it should be understood that the waste is
compact somewhat to that of a brick. A summary of the solid waste industry regulations
has been provided for you and your staff report and, again, I will let Steve comment on
that. The next item of concern is regards to the landscaping and fencing of Lot 2, Block
1, Shari, can you put up the detailed site plan. Is there not one in there?
Stiles: Let me check. Just a second. Sorry.
Ford: Okay. No problem. For the Sanitary Service site, the applicant is requesting to
landscape only the portion of Lot 2, Block 1 that will be developed at this time, which is
roughly right in here. There are not any uses planned on the western portion of the
Meridian City Council Meeling
July 16, 2002
Page 73 of 89
property. If and when expansion of the site occurs it will be most likely ten to 15 years in
the future and will be required to go through the CUP process. The applicant asks that
the Council realize that there is such a large amount of landscaping and that they are
trying to be a good neighbor by providing more than the required landscaping along the
southern boundary and providing the temporary landscape buffer that runs north-south
midway through the site. The portion that is not landscaped will be maintained by
mowing, so that portion of the property does not become unsightly or noxious. We do
plan on providing security fencing within the boundary of Lot 2. We do understand staff
has concerns with the fencing not being visually appealing and that the fencing will not
be able to be seen once the landscaping is mature. A diagram of the typical fence and
berm has been provided to the Council, I think an 11 by 22 was provided to you today. It
shows a six foot high security fence placed within the property boundary with 12 -- 12
and a half feet of berm with lawn on a three-to-one slope, which will provide an
estimated height of four feet. A tall evergreen will be provided with a mature height of 20
feet and then an additional 12 and a half feet of berm to the parking line. The next item
of concern is regarding the environmental impact statement. Staff recommends that the
applicant be required at a minute to provide an E1S assessment for the site and the
purpose of its uses. The applicant contends this is not necessary for the following
reasons. First, the federal regulation for the EPA, DEQ, and Central District Health, will
meet or exceed any requirement associated with an E1S and the federal regulations for
these agencies do not require an EIS for a transfer station. The activities associated
with a transfer station will occur within concrete walls in a building and any discharge
will be contained in a sand and grease trap, which will be regulated by DEQ, The
applicant will not be discharging any material into either creek abutting the property.
Again, lists of these regulations have been provided to Council. The applicant is in
agreement with staffs recommendations of the hours of operation. However, we would
like to modify the condition to include: With the exception of departing commercial
trucks. These trucks do have commercial pick up which necessitates leaving the facility
at 5:00 a.m. in the morning. The next issue is in regard to the required pathways along
the Nine Mile Drain and Five Mile Creek. The parks department requiring a ten-foot
pathway outside the western property line, the properties right along the Nine Mile Drain
and File Mile Creek, Nampa-Meridian Irrigation District has an agreement to make a
new waterway. The main issues we see are the following: First, the pathways will be
outside of our property boundary. We understand that the city and the district do have
an agreement to put pathways along canals and ditches, but plans would have to be
submitted six months in advance to be approved. Second, the Five Mile Creek is the
only designated pathway within the Comp Plan. We did compromise with staff of the
Planning and Zoning Commission and agree to construct a pathway. The Nine Mile
Drain does not have a pathway, or does it go anywhere. Staff was in agreement that
this pathway did not make a lot of sense. Inglewood Subdivision to the south does not
have a pathway and there were considerable questions by staff if there were an
adequate easement. Therefore, we request the release of this portion of the condition.
While we agree to construct the path along Five Mile Creek, the parks department is
requiring a ten-foot pathway. However, there are many examples to the city that there
are only five-foot pathways and you can select the verification of what is being required.
We realize the neighbors have concerns that this development will change the rural
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 74 of 89
character of the vicinity. However, any development will generate more traffic than what
is there already. The site is not surrounded by residential uses on all sides, which needs
to be understood. There is a treatment plant to the north and agricultural land use to the
west. The applicant is proposing L-O, which will provide a significant buffer between the
proposed industrial use and the residential use. I'd like to reiterate that we are
approximately 800 feet from the nearest residential use. It is the belief of the applicant
that these issues have been addressed to the best of our ability and that the applicant
has worked with the City of Meridian to find acceptable uses for this site. Staff, the
Commission, and the Council have agreed that residential uses are not what is
envisioned. The Council did recognize that unique circumstances are placed on the site
with regard to being next to a sewage treatment plant and thus changed the Comp Plan
text accordingly. A certified traffic study was submitted to ACHD for development citing
traffic numbers generated by the uses, including the transfer station. ACHD has
approved this application. The transfer station will take access off the proposed local
road within the development. The subdivision does abut two minor arterials which
ACHD agrees can accommodate such a development. There was a consent at the
Planning and Zoning Commission regarding the site lying in a flood plain. This site does
lie within the 500-year flood plain and we have received verification from the Ada county
engineer that this use is permitted. All in all, if the applicant does not agree -- does not
abide by any of the conditions of our approval, they have the City of Meridian and the
federal and the state and the local agencies that can shut them down. Before I give
Steve a chance to come up with concerns, he can explain further the noise study and
the agency regulations, I would like to request one item from the Council. Steve's facility
has burned down. Basically, SSC needs to move forward with a new site. We request
approval of the annexation and zoning, preliminary plat and a transfer station by a
development agreement. However, if you can't approve the transfer station this evening,
we ask approval for the other applications. We feel that staff can recommend approval
of those as well and be happy to answer any questions.
Corrie: Any questions? Okay. Perhaps Steve can come up on rebuttal at the end.
Ford: Okay.
Corrie: Okay. This is a Public Hearing. I have a few here that signed up for it. Is there
anyone for the subdivision? Steve Sedlacek. You can have three minutes of that time if
you'd like. Is the testimony you're about to give the truth, the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth, so help you God?
Sedlacek: It is.
Corrie: And your name and address, please.
Sedlacek: My name is Steve Sedlacek, 723 West Franklin. I'm the business manager
for Sanitary Services. I just wanted to hit a few points. Actually, it's -- don't have much
time, it's getting late tonight. The first question I had for Council tonight was, as Shari
accurately pointed out, the P&Z Commission said to us last month that basically they
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 75 of 69
kind of liked the layout of that subdivision, l-L on the north, and putting in the mixed
office use, but they said, quite frankly, that Sanitary Services is not allowed in an I-L
zone and I suspect that it's because of the Section 11-7 in the zoning ordinance that
says you cannot generate odor, noise, glare and some other items. Although in Section
11-8 of the zoning ordinance it says that permitted use in an industrial zone is a solid
waste transfer station, a contractor's yard, those are the things that we are going to do
on this parcel and the reason why we have come to you and told you exactly what we
are going to do is so that everybody knows -- you know, we are not hiding anything from
anybody, we don't want to get it zoned in a certain way and then start building different
types of buildings, we just want to be open and up front with everybody. So that's why
we have requested, since these are permitted uses according to the zoning ordinance,
we have requested that they not be conditionally permitted. I do have to seek a
Conditional Use Permit from DEQ that is enforced by the health districts. I guess
another point to make, Ashley had mentioned that we were going to build a transfer
station in five years. We don't know that. We don't know if we are going to build a
transfer station. This is a tool that we are going to need to service this community,
perhaps, if we have to do long haul transfer of waste out of this town. Now it might be
that we need it and it might not, I'm just not sure. But I'm going to tell you up front that
this is a thing that we might have to have, Secondly, I guess the first question I'm hoping
you will answer tonight is can we get an I-L zone and if the answer is no, I guess the
rest of my discussion is sort of mute, but let me go through it anyway. We did do a noise
study -- there were some questions that the neighbors have about noise, basically what
we did was we came up with a noise survey that we have handed out to you. We used
the Latah County transfer station as a surrogate and we took noise measurements.
Basically we found that 800 feet away, which would be the nearest residence, you're not
going to be able to discern the noise from the traffic on Ten Mile and Ustick. Indeed, the
neighbors are impacted by noise and it's noise from traffic and that traffic is going to get
worse when Bridgetower goes in and Lochsa Falls and whatever besides Sanitary
Services that goes into this parcel, traffic is going to get worse and I don't know what to
do about that. And my times about out, I guess that's my comment right there, so I'll
leave it at that. Thank you.
Corrie: Is there anyone else that would like to testify in favor? Okay. We have Janet -- is
the testimony you're about to give the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so
help you God?
Wilder: It is.
Corrie: State your name and address.
Wilder: Janet Wilder, 3340 North Ten Mile Road.
Corrie: Okay.
Wilder: I just had a few comments about waste transfer stations. I was curious as to
what they were and so I made a trip down to Twin Falls to look at their transfer station
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 76 of 89
there. I found it out in their industrial area. There were no houses around it. It had
Amalgamated Sugar was to one side of it and Monroc was across the street from it. I
don't remember what the other businesses were, but in back of it was open space.
There were no residential. We were down there -- my daughter went down with me and
it was probably 4:00 or 4:30 when we were down there, so we weren't there at the
busiest time, but it still was noisy. There was something inside the building that you
heard clanking. I don't know what it was, but it was noisy and we were to the street, I
don't know how far away it was, but I found it noisy. We did stop at Wendell on the way
back and it serves I guess Wendell and Gooding, it's out between Wendell and
Gooding, clear out in the country and nothing around it, but a salvage yard or graveyard
for cars across the street from it and they did have rubbish piled up in a berm, they had
a bunch of refrigerators and appliances piled outside the building and another brush pile
that was piled up real high with brush and pallets and things in it. So I certainly don't
want to see that in the neighborhood. I don't think this is the place for a waste transfer
station. There are too many neighbors. Recently you turned down Blumacs Bar in Old
Town Meridian for basically the same reason, just didn't fit in the neighborhood, I would
ask you to use the same consideration here. Another concern that I have is medical
waste, what sort of hazards are they going to pose for the neighborhood. Let's see. I
guess maybe that's it. So thank you.
McCandless: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. McCandless.
McCandless: Mrs. Wilder?
Wilder: Yes.
McCandless: Would you object to the trucks being out there without the transfer station?
Wilder: From what I understand from people that work on the trucks, have anything to
do with the trucks themselves when they are empty, that they are very smelly when they
are empty. I have -- I know someone that is a mechanic that has worked on them and
they just shudder when they have to work on them, because they do contain an odor
and so for that reason I probably would be opposed to the trash trucks being there. I
think there are some other uses. The office use and that probably wouldn't be
objectionable, but there is rodents, you know, that are going to come with smell and
trash. Seagulls. Now that's the other thing at the Twin Falls station that we saw were
Seagulls present. So, you know, my answer would be, no, I guess, that I wouldn't want
to see them there.
McCandless: Thank you.
Wilder: Okay.
Meridian City Council Meeting

Corrie: Okay. Charles Crane. Is the testimony you're about to give the truth, the whole
truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Crane: Yes, it is.
Corrie: Name and address, please.
Crane: Charles Crane, 3610 West Ustick Road. I'm the human that lives west of this
where it's supposed to agricultural. I'd like to characterize this neighborhood as a family
neighborhood. There is a new grade school going in on the south side of Ustick that's
almost completed now. There is families all over across the street. My house I have a
family, I have a child, and the new Bridgetower Subdivision is going to be families. So I
don't like to hear this being characterized as an industrial garbage dump. This is a
family neighborhood and I disagree strongly with them calling it something else. I'm a
little jealous of the Sutherland Farms developers to hear the developer working with the
neighborhood voluntarily putting in parks and worrying about fences and berms without
neighborhoods trying to force that out of them. I'm a little jealous of that. I would like to
see a lot more details on this if it does proceed. The landscape plan for one is not very
detailed. I was looking through the city's landscape ordinance and I need a clarification
from the Council. The pathways and the greenbelt, I was looking at classifications for
uses and you have a class one through five on the land use intensity classifications and
in class one we have single family homes and parks. I was wondering what
classification the pathway greenbelt would be? Would that be considered a park for this
classification as intensity?
Nary: Yes.
Crane: Yes, it would be? Okay. And then in the city ordinance class five, which is the
most intense use, recycling, light industrial listed, So according to the city ordinance, if I
read it properly, if you have a class five use next to a class one use, you need to have a
35 foot landscaping zone on that more intense use and their landscaping plan shows no
landscaping over on the borders of my property. The most recent one I saw at Planning
& Zoning has no landscaping at all. So I would like a lot more detail if this is to progress
at all, since there is not a CUP. The one person that hasn't been represented at the
meeting is the residence that's very close to this, the Ten Mile transfer -- or the storage
unit has a live-in manager there. She did express some nervousness. She didn't want to
come to the meeting, because her boss is involved in Bridgetower and she doesn't want
to lose her job, but she was very concerned being very close to where this is, right
across the Five Mile ditch. Okay. Thank you.
Corrie: Any questions? Thank you. Cheryl Hennings? Is the testimony you're about to
give the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Hennings: It is.
Corrie: Okay. Your name and address, please.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 78 of 89
Hennings: My name is Cheryl Hennings and I live at 2696 North Morello here in
Meridian. Seven months ago I spent two enjoyable days meeting all of the people in my
subdivision as I went door to door collecting petition signatures against what was being
propose for the property at the corner of Ten Mile and Ustick. One of my new neighbors
signed the petition, but informed me that what I was doing was useless and would make
absolutely no difference. I was shocked. He just shook his head as I left. Well, nothing
has changed since those two cold days in January, except when I went around the two
days it was really really hot. My neighbors continue to support efforts to have this parcel
zoned in such a way that the integrity of our part of town not be compromised and my
skeptical neighbor still shakes his head and now smiles at the same time. We maintain
that industrial as it stands is not appropriate for this land. Mixed use or less would give
us peace of mind that each and every request would have to meet conditional use
criteria. This vulnerable piece of property needs the utmost development protection.
This is the wrong location for a waste transfer station and recycling facility. Communities
throughout our state have located their waste transfer stations well outside of their
towns, not in the midst of existing residential development. And for good reason.
Despite the optimistic statements given, there will be debris, there will be noise, there
will be odor, more than we already have. We already live with cows and the treatment
plant and that's plenty. And there will be a significant increase in large truck traffic.
Meridian neighborhoods are protected from noise pollutions in her own ordinance.
Please protect this piece of property, the surrounding neighborhoods, and the
community from inappropriate development. Thank you.
Corrie: Thank you. I can't read this -- the first name is George, Name last?
George: John George.
Corrie: John George. Is the testimony you're about to give the truth, the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth, so help you God?
George: It is.
Corrie: Okay. Name and address, please.
George: John George, 3070 North Turnberry Way. I'm also a board member of the
homeowners association for Dakota Ridge, approximately 1/8th of a mile west of the
proposed site. Pretty much the facts that I have to bring to your attention have been
mentioned. Let me emphasize on the trash truck traffic. At the Planning and Zoning
Committee meeting we figured as a group there would be approximately 100 trips per
day -- 100 trips per day within a five-year period. The safety issue with Ponderosa
Elementary School going in, again, I'd like to emphasize that. Children going home on
their bicycles, walking along the roads with that increased traffic is a big concern. The
stench -- basically I don't care how you camouflage it, it's a dump. We as an association
do not want this facility built. We ask that you deny admitting I-L zoning. Thank you very
much.

Corrie: Thank you. Mark Reese. Is the testimony you're about to give the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Reese: I do.
Corrie: Name and address, please.
Reese: My name is Mark Reese. I live at 3081 North Dakota Ridge -- sorry. North
Turnberry Way in Dakota Ridge. I deny from many reasons. It seems to be that's a very
illogical thing to put a dump site in an industrial area and not mix in a place where
people live, so urge you to think carefully and deny. Thank you.
Corrie: Thank you. Mark Madsen. Dana Borquist. Is the testimony you're about to give
the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Borquist: Yes, it is.
Corrie: Name and address, please.
Borquist: Dana Borquist. 3125 West Gallant Court in the Hartford Subdivision. It's a new
Hubble Homes subdivision. First of all, I'd like to say when we went to the Hubble Home
office asking what was going to be potentially built in that new -- in that field to the west
of us, they told us a nice city park. We dealt with Hubble, but I'm not associated with
Hubble, but I can't say for sure, but I'll bet you anything if you go in there tomorrow and
ask the gals that work in that office, they will tell you a park is going to be built over
there and that's all. It's really misleading. I am definitely against this waste transfer
treatment center going in in this area. I know that the applicant needs this business, I
know that we all need it as consumers, but this is not the right place for it and if you look
at all the beautiful homes that picture showed and then the yellow building, it just does
not go with the neighborhood. I understand we live close to the wastewater treatment
center. However, if the zoning shown is proper -- and it sounds like it is and they are
trying to change the zoning that's already in place, you can have storage units or offices
-- plenty of people will have their business there as far as warehousing or things like
that, it's not going to be a problem to find potential customers. I would also like to
publicly thank the Planning and Zoning Commission for listening to us and denying this
request or saying they are against it. I don't know exactly the right terms to say, but it
kind of shows that if people get together and have a cause that sometimes they are
heard and I appreciate that and I appreciate your time in this matter. I would just like to
ask you to honestly to sit down and think if you were living in our neighborhoods if you
would want this in your backyard and I know the answer would be no. Again, I would
like to thank you for your consideration in denying this for the applicant. There are many
other places I think that is proper. They might have to spend a little more money and a
little more time finding those places, but they do exist. Thank you.

Corrie: Thank you. That takes care of the ones that signed up. Is there anyone else
from the public that would like to issue testimony? Yes. Is the testimony you're about to
give the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Cody: Yes.
Corrie: Name and address, please.
Cody: My name is Charles Cody. I live at 3691 West Niemann. That's in Dakota Ridge
Subdivision. And I have a couple concerns by this type of operation. I find that this is the
first time in my experience of anywhere I have lived that this type of operation was trying
to move into an established neighborhood. Usually the complaint is the neighbors
moving into these places knowing that this operation was, in fact, there and they had no
complaints. Most of the neighbors have made it very clear how we feel on this and for
the health reasons and such and such. I have a couple of points that I would like to also
make. First of all, Steve did make a statement here tonight that he wasn't trying to hide
anything and I think that's pretty much true, because you just can't hide a dump. The
birds will seek it out, the rodents and the stench and the noise. Then there was a cover
up -- and everybody realizes once you let a cat out of the bag -- it's easy to let the cat
out of the bag, but it's awful hard to put it back and who is going to have to patrol for
this? Once these things are in operation you have a tendency to forget about the
controls and forget about the neighbors and it progressively gets bigger and bigger and
they talk about a recycling center here also and they don't want to talk about the noise.
With every recycling center I have ever went to all the operators have earmuffs on. Well,
I don't understand that. If it isn't going to go into the neighborhood, why would they be
concerned about noise? Then they discuss about a path, they wanted to pave a path
and make it look nice. A path to where? Who is going to walk a path in a dump area
next to a waste treatment plant? Maybe the homeless or the dope dealers. I don't know.
I sure certainly wouldn't want to find out. Well, that just about has it with me. I just feel
that this is not a healthy situation to put in a neighborhood. It doesn't have their
problems. I sympathize with Steve and his operation. As has been stated here tonight,
we do need it, but also, again, as has been stated, this is not the place to put this type
of operation. Thank you.
Corrie: Thank you. Anyone else? Okay. Council, questions while the Public Hearing is
still open?
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Is Mrs. Stiles here?
Corrie: Oh, I forgot. Steve, you do have five minutes here after we are -- for some of the
questions that the people have brought up. I apologize.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 81 of 89
Ford: Ashley Ford. Well, you have listened to me talk a lot and we could get Steve back
up here, but he has given me some of his notes and let me be the bad guy up here.
One thing that I did forget to note in my presentation was that we were going -- we are
not going through a CUP process, but, yes, we are asking that the Council consider this
as a part of our development agreement, which is essentially going to be the same as
going through a conditional use process. Staff has even made the statement in the staff
report that we had submitted all the requirements of a CUP application, the landscape
plan, the elevations, et cetera, and so hopefully if you look at your annexation, if you do
decide to agree to approve that tonight, then we can work out the details and put it in
the development agreement. It is a legally binding document. Regarding the trash, you
know, I guess there is trash at some waste transfer stations. This one will not. Yes,
residents can come and drop off their trash to this waste transfer station, but it won't be
left at the gate like some of these other stations are allowed to do. Steve has a lot of
pride in his business and will not allow that. Also we are subject to conditions of
approval, so at anytime if we are not complying with the conditions of approval of
Meridian staff and Planning and Zoning, they and all the other agencies, that our
permits can be pulled, plain and simple. So you can make that a condition of approval.
Regarding the landscaping on the southwest border along Mr. Crane, we will meet any
landscaping requirements of the ordinance. Plain and simple. We will meet that. If that's
your requirement, we will be there. Regarding traffic, like I said, we meet ACHD
standards. A hundred trips per day, that's really nothing on minor arterials, as we all
know. Minor arterials can hold up to 15,000 vehicle trips per day. We know that this
portion of Ustick will be made into four lanes. When that will happen I don't know, but
we know that that -- it is classified as a minor arterial, that is the purpose of those
arterials is to take the traffic. I heard many residents say this is a dump. This is not a
dump. This is a waste transfer station. Basically it's trucks -- it's smaller trucks loading
the trash into -- compacted trash, like a brick, into larger trucks. It's in the facility. It's
confined to the facility within concrete walls. That's what needs to be understood. In
regards to Steve's comments, transfer stations are mostly in rural areas, Unfortunately,
there are few rural areas remaining in Meridian. They are looking at all zoned property
in Meridian. We don't collect medical waste. There is a small amount in residential
waste -- the residential waste stream, there is no impact to the public and others. There
have been no complaints from the current facility and they are only 75 feet away from a
4-plex and, once again, we will have to meet all the regulations for odor and noise and
litter, with all the agencies, DEQ, Central District Health, et cetera. And I'll be happy to
stand for any questions.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Ms. Ford, I'm curious. An issue that was of some concern to the Planning and
Zoning Commission was the definition of light industrial and how this facility as a waste
transfer station -- I don't know that there was discussion in regards to the parking lot for
trucks. Since this is a waste transfer station, we have the definition that talked about
hazards and objectionable elements, such as noise, odors, dust, and that it is operated
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 82 of 89
entirely within an enclosed structure. What I heard you say earlier is that you don't want
this to be an enclosed structure, you want it to be open on one side.
Ford: Open on one side, that's true, but the transfer takes place within a concrete --
within concrete walls which is further back into the facility.
Nary: But I think what's contemplated by the ordinance is a building,
Ford: If that's a make or break situation on this, we will put a door in it. What we are
trying to explain is during normal business hours that would be open due to the trucks
moving in and so forth. So that would be Council's call. We will comply with conditions
that you place on us. Waste transfer stations don't have that third door, but --
Corrie: Any questions?
Ford: Thank you.
Nary: Mrs. Stiles, I was just curious, I guess. I wondered if we were going to fight this
battle forever, but under the new zone in the new comp plan, if they started all over
again once that is finalized, wouldn't this fit within those -- what's contemplated there? I
think it was fairly left wide open. Couldn't we basically be back having the same
discussion again?
Stiles: Well, the uses that were proposed for that Mixed Use Wastewater Treatment
Plant area were the ones that are listed in Ashley's letter of June 7, 2002. Those are the
ones that were discussed with the professional office use, warehousing, flex space use,
office warehouse use, business park use, and mini-storage.
Nary: I guess my question is is that if we were to deny this application based on the
reasoning that the Planning and Zoning Commission used that it didn't fit the light
industrial zone, once the new Comprehensive Plan was in place it would, in theory, fit in
that -- in the zone that's contemplated for that area at that point, so we would still be
arguing about the conditional use, but we wouldn't be arguing about zone; is that
correct?
Stiles: I think there are light industrial uses within those uses I just discussed, but some
of those would fit within that light industrial use, yes.
Nary: Thank you.
Corrie: Tom.
Kuntz: Mr. Mayor and Council, just to go on public record in regards to the preliminary
plat, the parks staff recommends a pathway -- ten foot wide pathway with a 30 foot
easement buffer along the Nine Mile -- excuse me -- Five Mile Creek, because it is a
main corridor -- pedestrian corridor that will link up to Tulley Park, will link up with
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 83 of 89
Bridgetower, will link up with Meridian Road, which is currently linked with Tulley Park
now. It's important that we have landscaped easements so that people will use it, but we
also feel like there needs to be a pedestrian pathway along the Nine Mile to service the
subdivision south of Llstick Road to link up with the Five Mile Creek Pathway. Also in
comments we have asked for the developer to bond or put in place monies to help pay
for a bridge, pedestrian bridge, that would go across Nine Mile. And those comments
are all contained in the Planning and Zoning prior meetings. Thank you, Mayor.
Corrie: Okay. Thank you. Any other questions from Council?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Okay. I will entertain a motion to close the Public Hearing.
McCandless: Mr. Mayor, so moved.
Corrie: Mrs. McCandless moved. Do I hear a second?
Nary: Second.
Corrie: Okay. Motion has been made and seconded to close the Public Hearing. Any
further discussion? All in favor?
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs, de Weerd.
De Weerd: Staff has said something that it looks like the applicant would like to respond
to. I think the applicant should have that chance.
Corrie: I'm sorry. I didn't even see you. Okay.
Ford: Thank you. Make this brief. Regarding the ten foot paved pathway, we were going
to do that along the Five Mile, we agreed to that, we just want clarification as to why it
needed to be ten feet. Regarding the Nine Mile, regarding the bridge, this is the first we
have heard of a bridge. And, second, regarding the Nine Mile -- the conditions of staff,
they have made the recommendation that that can go away, because it doesn't lead
anywhere and it doesn't make a lot of sense for the site. So we are in partial agreement
with that condition. Like I said, I just wanted some clarification from Tom Kuntz on the
nine feet. But the bridge, this is news to us and we request that that be deleted.
Corrie: Tom?
Kuntz: Mayor and Council, the ten foot wide hard surface pathways is a standard that
we have adopted. There is other developments that we can show to verify that to the
developer. The bridge issue, there is nothing new. If you go back through our comments
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 84 of 89
to Planning and Zoning, I can show the developer that the bridge was an issue and is
an issue. And, again, we -- the parks staff feels like the link to the Five Mile Creek
pathway along the Nine Mile is important for those subdivisions, Dakota Ridge,
Inglewood to the south, so that the kids don't have to go to the intersection and go up to
the Five Mile. Now that link may not have to be ten foot wide, we certainly can discuss
that issue, but those comments, again, were made twice to the Planning and Zoning, so
there is nothing new.
Ford: And just one last comment. The comment regarding -- I haven't seen the memo,
so -- we came in on this project a little bit later, so that might be my miscommunication. I
apologize for that. But, second, we would like just to reiterate that the Nine Mile pathway
does not go anywhere to the subdivisions to the south. It would end right into Ustick, so
that's just what I'd like to get on the record. Thank you.
Corrie: Okay. Any other discussions?
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Just to make note, Mr. Kuntz's comments are here on -- dated April 17th to the
Planning and Zoning Commission and it talks about the ten foot wide path along the
Five Mile and Nine Mile drain and then that they have to provide a letter of credit for one
half construction of the future pedestrian bridge over the Nine Mile Drain and there isn't
a finding by Planning and Zoning Commission, they recommend denying it, so there
isn't any finding by them to consider that, so --
Kuntz: Mr. Mayor, the other memo is dated October 11th, 2001. Thank you.
Corrie: Okay. Any other discussion? Okay. All in favor of the motion say aye. Okay.
Ayes motion is approved. The hearing is approved. And discussion, comments. Okay.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Nary: Mr. Mayor:
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I have heard this application a lot and unlike many of the applications that we get,
I think from -- if you look at what we saw last year and what we see now, you wouldn't
recognize it as the same application. So I do appreciate the attempt and the work that
has gone in to try to make this work and trying to do everything they can, which would
be as far away from these homes as it could be. If it's contained within a building, it
probably is not going to have the impact that people think as the transfer station will in
Twin Falls or somewhere else. The landscaping is better than what we get around an
office. I mean there is a tremendous amount of work that's gone in to try and get this to
Meridian City Council Meeting

mediate the problems that have been addressed for the last eight or nine months. But
sometimes I just can't -- no matter what you do, I don't think you can make this work. I
just don't think we will ever not listen to people that hate this project in that spot and
that's my concern. And the problem is now Hubble Homes told us a year ago we think
it's great, we love it, and now I have really no doubt what the gentleman says that
probably someone told them it was going to be a park. They have been saying it's
going to be a park for last the nine years in that spot, even though it hasn't been
proposed to be a park for about eight. So the problem is is that now we are building
homes that those people that have bought those homes have no idea that's what was
going to be there and it's the same problem we had. If this was built a year ago those
homes aren't there, now they are. The more and more this gets delayed -- and that's not
anyone's -- it's SSC's fault, it's not the developer's fault, it's anybody's fault, it just is. But
it just -- I just have a hard time saying this is going to work. I recognize they have done
everything they can. I don't fault them for anything they have tried to do and this is just
one of those places that it just -- just aren't going to convince those people that live
there that this can work. It just is that difficult to want to annex this property and do that.
And, again, I know we can fight this battle again, because I think the Mixed Use
Wastewater Treatment Plant zone will allow for this use again and I understand all
those things and I don't have a concern that SSC can't manage their property, because
they manage all their property well, their contract is with the city, the people that enforce
it is us. But I just -- I guess I just feel in my gut that annexing this property and putting
this there is just -- it's just a rock we don't want to turn over.
McCandless: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. McCandless.
McCandless: As hard as it is, Steve and Bill run a wonderful, great business. They really
do. I wish you all knew how well they run that. You know, sitting up here it's awfully hard
to not listen to the people that live out there. I wish I could tell you where a better place
is for you. I can't. I don't know. But I sort of agree with Bill Nary. I don't know what else
to say. It's one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make.
De Weerd: It's always hard for me not to comment. I was against the text change
amendment to begin with. I live out in that area. I don't see a problem with the waste
treatment plant or a transfer station next to our sewer treatment plan. It's one of those
things of what other kind of compatible use can you have and I have kids that will go to
Ponderosa, too. That's not what bothers me. I think that what they have done is, just like
Councilman Nary said, they totally turned this application around and, actually, that's the
beauty of the public process is -- I know I have seen the faces here a number of times
and they are the reason it looks like that, but, too, I think that it's kind of at the point
where I don't know if they could do anything more to still make it appeasing to the
surrounding neighborhood. This is a very residential area and people moved in there
knowing about the sewer treatment plan and they are living with it. I can't compound
that, whether I personally would agree that this would be a good use or not. I do think
that our city is going to have to work with one of the service providers in trying to find a
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 86 of 89
place for it and a place where we can have temporary sewer or something that will
serve it in an industrial area, because that is the appropriate use for it, is a heavy
industrial area and not a light industrial area. And even with the new language that I
didn't support, this still doesn't fit with that new language. So I don't know what else to
say, other than the integrity of SSC is beyond reproach. They are a top notch company.
We saw the company and I think many of you did before they took it over. They have
put a whole new definition of this company and really cleaned up its image. I'm not
concerned about them, even as long as they are owners, but, unfortunately, some
things change and I can't say anymore.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I would say one other thing and probably not very popular, but no one ever that
sits here is popular all the time. You know, I think for most people I think we recognize
that's a single lot, there are other spots, we'll just find somewhere else, The impact to
the rest of our city would be that potentially we are going to have to pay higher costs for
trash, because they are going to have to put it in a spot that's further out of town to be
able to do the same thing where you want. So, understand, that is the impact it has and
that's okay and that's something that's part of life, too, but that is the impact and that is
something that we have to weigh as well, but, you know, like I said, I think it's just one of
those things that just no matter how many ways you try to dress up this pig, it still looks
like a pig. Sorry. We have been here all day--
De Weerd: We have been together all day long, you know, and we are starting to
really --
Nary: It's just one of those things. Sorry.
Corrie: Any other comments?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Okay. I don't usually say anything, but I'm going to this time. Tammy mentioned
that if it doesn't pass tonight that the city needs to help find a spot for these people,
because at the present time the properties are outrageously high for anything of this
nature right now and Mr. Nary is absolutely right, if they have to pay an enormous price
for land, you're going to have to pay more for the trash hauling business and, again,
they are a tremendous company, they have turned a 360 as far as collecting trash and
being good neighbors as a business. So which ever way this vote comes out, I will do
my best and I'm sure the Council will, too, if they vote negative on this, that we find them
a place and at least get some sewer and water to them where they can put it in a
different place. So I think that that being said, I think the Council knows where I'm
coming from and what I would -- how I would vote. So we will see how they vote and
whether I do or not. So I guess with that being said, we call for the question -- and I
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 87 of 89
think we have -- we will have a vote. Okay. I need to have a motion for the request or
annexation on Utility Subdivision.
Nary: Oh, I will do it, Mr. Mayor. I would move that we deny AZ 01-015, request for
annexation and zoning of 34.60 acres from RUT to I-L and L-O zones for the proposed
Utility Subdivision by Falcon Creek, LLC, pursuant to staff comments and the
recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission and for council to prepare
Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and Decision and Order.
De Weerd: Second.
Corrie: Motion has been made and seconded. Any further discussion? Hearing none,
roll-call vote, Mr. Berg.
Roll-call vote: McCandless, aye; Nary, aye; DeWeerd, aye; Bird, aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Corrie: Four ayes. You don't have to hear what I had to say. All right. I will now entertain
a motion for the preliminary plat.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I move that we deny PP 01-017, request for preliminary plat approval of 11
building lots on 34.60 acres in a proposed I-L and L-O zone for the proposed Utility
Subdivision by Falcon Creek, LLC., pursuant to the recommendations of the Planning
and Zoning Commission and staff comments and the testimony here tonight and for
Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law and Decision and Order to that effect.
De Weerd: I second it.
Corrie: Motion has been made and seconded. Any further discussion?
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: I probably don't have any discussion on the particular motion, but I do have
a comment.
Corrie: Okay.
De Weerd: When this text change came through, I think we sent the application -- or the
applicant a mixed message and also, you know, these neighbors have invested a lot of
i
I
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 16, 2002
Page 88 of 89
time in this and, boy, the applicant has invested a lot of time with it. I don't know when
Council approved the text amendment what they had in mind, but what they approved
was this application that was in front of them, so I guess I'm a little confused as to the
turn around and that we need to be a little bit clearer on expectations when we ask
people to invest a lot of their time and effort, whether it's the neighbors or the applicant.
Like I said, I have seen these faces in here and you have invested a lot of your time and
the applicant has invested a lot of their time and money to try and make this work. So I
think we need to start doing a better job in letting people know the directions that we are
going and I'm not just saying that because I voted no, but I am concerned that it has
gone on to P&Z, to City Council, after that point and it's a mixed message that we had
out there, so --
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I think I've probably heard this more than everybody, but -- and the text
amendment was my motion at Planning and Zoning and my motion here, but in my
opinion we have never given anybody the impression that this was a done deal, that this
was an easy road. We said over and over and over you need to convince those people
that live there that this can work and as much as they tried -- and I have said it over and
over, too, they have tried, it just isn't going to work. But we never, in my opinion, ever
gave anybody the impression that this was going into effect. We agreed to the text
amendment because there wasn't anything to prohibit it, but we have said unless you
can convince the people in that room right here, the same people that are just like you
that this is a good deal, it won't happen. This isn't going to work. So I don't think we sent
a mixed message. I think we said the process requires it and we would follow the
process and said when we get to the end of the day we will see what happens and this
is what happened, so --
Corrie: Okay.
De Weerd: I will call for the question.
Corrie: The question has been called for. Mr. Berg.
Roll-call vote: McCandless, aye; Nary, aye; DeWeerd, aye; Bird, aye.
Corrie: All ayes. Request for preliminary plat is denied.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Corrie: Okay. That concludes the City Council agenda for July 16th. Council, I will
entertain a motion to close the Public Hearing -- or close the --

SCOPE OF WORK
TEN MILE ROAD INTERCHANGE
Introduction
This scope of work has been prepared to demonstrate Earth Tech's approach to the project
development of the Ten Mile Interchange Project. The detailed scope of work has been prepared
from site visits, discussions with ITD, and OUf understanding of IT'D procedures and practices.
There are six major tasks involved with the work. They are:
Task 1 - Pre-operations Conference and Administration
Task 2 - Inventory, Data Collection, and Supplemental Field Surveys
Task 3 - Soil and Material Investigations
Task 4 - Preliminary Investigations
Task 5 - Preliminary Environmental Investigations
Task 6 - Preliminary Concept Report
Task 7 - Public Participation
Our understanding is that the scope of work for the project is only through the preparation and
submittal of the Preliminary Concept Report.
Our approach to the project will be to keep all participants, proposed project partners and
stakeholders informed of all key decisions as they are being developed. All of the key aspects
will have been discussed with Eastboume, ITD, FHVf A and local agencies as the Preliminary
Concept is being developed. Decisions will be documented and required concurrence will be
obtained prior to incorporation into the document.
1 PRE-OPERATIONS CONFERENCE AND ADMlNISTRA TION
This task will serve to initiate the project, clarify all standards and requirements, and establish
project protocol.
1.1 General Administration
This task will consist of the daily management of the project and involves
administrative tasks of a general nature that are required of the Consultant during the
course of project development, including Subconsultanr administration and setting up
project accounting procedures.

1.2 Pre~Operations Conference
Earth Tech representatives, including the project manager and key project
engineers, IT'D, ACHD and FHW A, will attend the conference. At this
meeting, the scope of work, contract terms, etc. will be reviewed to assure a
thorough understanding by all parties and project responsibilities, assigned
project schedules, deadlines, and deliverables will also be reviewed. A site
reconnaissance will be conducted. Review areas of concern, key design issues
and project Coordination issues with team members. Prepare field notes of
issues discussed. Discuss possible interchange configurations.
Responsible Parties: Eastboume, Earth Tech, ITD, FHWA
1.3 Coordination and Meetings
Weekly meetings will be held with team members to discuss progress and determine
needs for the following week. ET will hold Biweekly meetings with the client to
discuss progress. To keep the project on a fast track schedule, Earth Tech will
coordinate all aspects of the project with the decision making agencies (ITD, ACHD,
FHW A) to make sure key decisions are made in a timely fashion.
2 INVENTORY, DATA COLLECTION AND FIELD SURVEYS
This task consists of field survey work, other data collection, required for
developing the Preliminary Concept for the project.
It is our understanding that minimal survey work has been done in the proposed
interchange area. We have assumed that the COillASS ortho photos will be
available to use as a base map.
2.1 Review Existing Survey Data
Existing survey data (control, mapping of adjacent property) will be obtained from
Eastbourne, COlYfPASS and ITD. The project manager and team members will
review this data to detennine the type of information available and any additional
data requirements. This information will be used to. develop base mapping for the
project.
Responsible Party: Earth Tech
2.2 Base Map
The Consultant will acquire a scaled aerial photo from CO:tv1PASS to augment the
base infonnation required for the Preliminary Concept Study.
Verify and locate survey control established for the aerial mapping.
2.3 Obtain and Review Existing Alignment Data
II Obtain existing survey data and control; electronic copies of base maps, aerial
Mapping; and existing right-of-way maps, highway construction plans, record
of surveys, deeds for adjacent/affected properties, and tax assessor maps and
Zoning data.
II Obtain previous studies and reports that have been developed for or related to
the Project.

· Obtain relevant planning documents from lTD, ACHD, COMPASS
and other agencies, as appropriate.
· Contact appropriate agencies and individuals to obtain existing data that may
be useful in the development of the Project.
Responsible Party: Eanh Tech
3 SOILS AND MATERIALS INVESTIGATION
Geological reconnaissance and geotechnical investigations are specifically
excluded from this Scope of Work.
4 PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATIONS
This task consists of the establishment of engineering requirements for preliminary
design, and wiII include the preliminary studies identified below.
The foIIowing assumptions have been made in developing this scope:
· A maximum of three preliminary alignments will be included In the
Preliminary Concept Report.
· -ITD has gathered traffic data and future projections for all segments of the
roadway and at the interchange area. It is assumed that this data will be
adequate for Earth Tech's use in preparing the traffic study. No additional

3. The property which is the subject ofthe application for annexation and
zoning is described in the application, and is approximately 5 acres in size, is located at 2515 W.
Ustick Road, all within the Area ofImpact ofthe City of Meridian and the Meridian Urban
Service Planning Area.
4. The owner of record of the subject property is The Corporation of the Presiding
Bishop of the Church of Latter Day Saints, a Utah Corporation, of Salt Lake City, Utah; and the
applicant is Lombard-Conrad Architects, P.A. of Boise, Idaho.
5. The property is presently zoned RUT, and consists of vacant land.
6. The Applicant requests the property be zoned as L-O, with the intent to construct
a 26,000 sq. ft. church building, which is consistent with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan
Generalized Land Use Map which designates the subject property as Single-Family Residential.
7. The subject property is an enclave bordered on all sides by City of Meridian
zoned R-4 properties.
8. There are no significant or scenic features of major importance that affect the
consideration of this application.
9. Giving due consideration to the comments received from the
governmental subdivisions providing services in the City of Meridian planning jurisdiction,
public facilities and services required by the proposed development will not impose expense
upon the public if the following conditions of development are imposed:
Adopt the Recommendations of the Planning and Zoning and Engineering staff as follows:
1. Access to sanitary sewer shall be a challenge for the applicant. There isn't a sewer
main in Ustick Road adjacent to the subject site, but there does appear to be several
options for sanitary sewer service in the vicinity. Additional study shall be done by
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - Page 2
AND DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING APPLICA nON
FOR ANNEXA nON AND ZONING/LDS CHURCH (AZ-02-008)
the applicant to detern1ine the best alternatives for service. Information on the
options available can be obtained from the Public Works Depmiment.
2. Domestic water service to this site shall be via an existing 12-inch diameter main
adjacent to the site in Ustick Road.
3. Essential City services are or shall be available to the subject property.
4. Remove any existing domestic wells and/or septic systems within this project from
their domestic service, per City Ordinance Section 5~ 7-517, when services are
available from the City of Meridian. Wells may be used for non-domestic purposes
such as landscape irrigation.
5. A Certificate of Zoning Compliance shall be obtained from the City of Meridian prior
to constmction of a church on the subject propeliy. All other uses shall be required to
go though the conditional use permit process.
Adopt the Recommendations of the ACHD as follows:
1. Dedicate 48-feet ofright-of-way from the centerline of Us tick Road abutting the
parcel by means of a warranty deed. The right-of-way purchase and sale agreement
and deed must be completed and signed by the applicant prior to scheduling the final
plat for signature by the ACHD Commission or prior to issuance of a building permit
(or other required permits), whichever occurs first.
2. Construct a 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk on Ustick Road located 2-feet within the
right-of-way. Coordinate the location and elevation of the sidewalk with District
staff.
3. Replace unused curb cuts on Ustick Road with 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk to
match the existing improvements.
4. Replace any existing damaged curb, gutter and sidewalk and any that may be
damaged during the constmction of the proposed development.
5. Utility street cuts in pavement less than five years old are not allowed unless
approved in writing by the District.
6. Meet District drainage requirements per section 8000 of the ACHD Development
Policy Manual.
7. If utility relocation is necessary to construct improvements required with this
development, then all utility relocation costs associated with improving street
frontages abutting the site shall be borne by the developer.
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - Page 3
AND DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION
FOR ANNEXATION AND ZONING/LDS CHURCH (AZ-02-008)
8. Any existing irrigation facilities shall be relocated outside of the right-of-way.
9. Pave the driveways to their full-required width and to a point 3D-feet beyond the edge
of pavement of Us tick Road with IS-foot curb radii pavement tapers abutting the
existing roadway edge.
10. As required by District policy, restrictions on the width, number and locations of
driveways, shall be placed on future development of this parcel.
Adopt the Recommendations of the Meridian Fire Department as follows:
1. A fire-flow consistent with Appendix III-A of the Uniform Fire Code shall be provided to
service the entire project. Fire hydrants shall be placed an average of 400' apart at
approved locations.
2. Operational fire hydrants are required before combustible construction begins.
3. Acceptance of water supply for fire protection is contingent upon acceptance of the water
system by the City of Meridian.
4. Final approval for fire hydrant location shall be by the Meridian Fire Department.
5. All turning radii shall be a minimum of28' inside and 48' outside for all internal roads
and entrances.
6. Comply with the requirements of the Uniform Fire Code and Building Code.
Adopt the action of the City Council taken at their July 2, 2002 meeting as follows:
1. The Council recognizes the current 1993 Comprehensive Plan designation, which
designates the area as Single-Family Residential, and there exist valid reasons for varying
from the Comprehensive Plan designation at this time, in that similar uses have been
allowed in previous situations involving a church in a residential area, and therefore, the
applicant shall be allowed to construct the LDS Stake Center to be located at 2515 West
Ustick Road.
10. It is found that if the developer pays for the requested improvements
and complies with the conditions set f011h in these Findings of Fact No.9, and all sub-parts, the
economic welfare of the City and its residents and tax and rate payers will be protected, a
condition of annexation and zoning designation.
11. It is also found that the development considerations as referenced in Finding No.
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - Page 4
AND DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING APPLICA nON
FOR ANNEXA nON AND ZONING/LDS CHURCH (AZ-02-008)
9 are reasonable to require and must be taken into account, in order to assure the proposed
development is designed, constructed, operated and maintained in a manner which is harmonious
and appropriate in appearance with the existing, or intended character of the general vicinity, in
order to assure that the proposed use will not change the essential character of the affected
vicinity and will insure that the proposed uses will not be hazardous or disturbing to the existing,
or future neighboring uses, particularly considering the impact of proposed development on
potential to produce excessive traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare and odors.
12. It is found that the requested zoning designation (L-O) and land use (church) are
harmonious with and in accordance with the adopted Comprehensive Plan and Generalized Land
Use Map (1993), which designates the land to be "Single-Family Residential". Although the L-
o zone does not match the Single-Family Residential land use designation, churches are
permitted with a conditional use permit in the R-8 zone. It is also found that annexing and
zoning the propeliy to R-8, and then requiring a conditional use permit will create an
unnecessary layer of bureaucracy that can be avoided by zoning the property L-O, where church
uses are permitted without a conditional use permit. The City Council additionally approved a
similar annexation and rezone for the LDS Stake Center on Black Cat in 1999.
13. It is found that the majority of the sun"ounding propeliies are medium density
residential subdivisions. The propeliy to the north has been approved for office development. It
is also found that the requested zoning designation ofL-O, if developed as a church, is
harmonious with the existing and planned adjacent development.
14. It is found that the proposed use (church) will not change the existing or intended
character of the area. The church can be operated, designed and maintained to be harmonious
with the surrounding area.
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - Page 5
AND DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION
FOR ANNEXATION AND ZONING/LDS CHURCH (AZ-02-008)
15. It is not anticipated that the proposed use will be hazardous or disturbing to future
or existing neighbors.
16. It is found that the property to be annexed can be served adequately by all
essential public facilities and services, however, access to sanitary sewer will be a challenge for
the applicant. There isn't a sewer main in Ustick Road adjacent to the subject site, but there does
appear to be several options for service in the vicinity. Additional study will need to be done by
the applicant to determine the best alternative.
17. It is found that there will not be additional requirements at public cost and that the
annexation and zoning will not be detrimental to the community's economic welfare.
18. It is found that the proposed church use will not create excessive traffic, noise or
other nuisances that would be detrimental to the general welfare of the surrounding area.
19. It is found that the annexation and development ofthe property will not create
significant interference with the existing traffic on Ustick Road.
20. It is found that no natural or scenic features of major importance will be lost or
damaged by approved the annexation and re-zone. Any existing trees larger than 4" caliper that
are removed shall be mitigated for, per the Landscape Ordinance.
21. It is found that the annexation of this property would be in the best interest of the
City.
22. The subject annexation request and zoning designation and proposed
development relates to and is compatible with the goals and policies ofthe Comprehensive Plan
of the City.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
1. The City of Meridian has authority to annex real property upon written request for
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - Page 6

FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND
DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - 3
Adopt the Recommendations of the Planning and Zoning and Engineering staff as follows:
1. Trash Enclosure: The applicant has submitted a revised Site Plan showing the trash
enclosures and the building elevations. A trash enclosure shall be added to the
gymnasium lot and screened in accordance with Ordinance 11-12-1-C. Applicant shall
come to an agreement with SSC regarding size and dimension specifics on trash
enclosure to be placed in the area of the planned gymnasium.
2. Signs: Applicant's intent is to utilize the existing monument sign presently located on
the southwest corner ofthe property. If the Applicant provides information on additional
signage he shall address the number, location, and maximum size of any proposed
signs-wall-mounted or freestanding. All such signs shall require a separate sign pelmit
and shall be subject to design review by P&Z staff. Given the historic nature of the
structure and its relationship to Old Town, context-sensitive signage is important to blend
with the character of the building.
3. Parking: The proposed use requires 215 parking spaces, but only 159 spaces are
provided on the subject property, with an additional 33 possibly available via a cross-
parking agreement, leaving a deficit of 23 parking stalls. The total parking space issue
shall be reviewed and addressed at the time Cole Valley Christian shall be in need of the
parking spaces, Applicant shall obtain a variance prior to applying for a Certificate of
Zoning Compliance for the gym. Applicant's failure to obtain a variance shall result in
down-sizing or elimination of the gym. The Applicant shall address the anticipated
parking demand for the office uses that will remain, as well as the proposed school, when
such variance is needed. Upon satisfactory resolution of the parking demand versus
supply issue, a variance to the parking requirements would be supported. Also, the
Applicant shall supply written verification that the Apostolic Bible Church is amenable to
the cross-parking agreement and shall work to finalize such cross-parking agreement.
4. Planters/Parking Lot: The proposed site plan does not include planters within the interior
of the parking lot. The parking lot is existing and is being modified less than 50%. The
requirements of Ordinance 12-13-11-4-B apply to this project, which means that the
perimeter landscaping and street buffers are required, but the internal islands are not
required until the parking lot is replaced or altered more than 50%. The perimeter
landscape strips shown on the proposed landscape plan are sufficient to meet this
requirement.
5. Existing Trees: The existing large maple trees along E. 2 12 Street, adjacent to the
proposed gym, shall be protected during construction as noted on the proposed plan.
Applicant shall verify that the proposed new trees are sufficient to mitigate for the one
existing tree proposed for removal. The existing trees surrounding the Meridian Office &
Convention Center shall also be protected and retained.
6. Additional Landscaping: Many of the existing landscape strips contain trees, but the
ground surrounding them is left heavily populated by weeds. Additional landscaping
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND
DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - 4
shall be added to all such areas so that all landscape areas are fully vegetated with grass,
shrubs, and/or vegetative groundcover. A pressurized irrigation system shall be required
to all landscape areas. This shall require some modifications to the existing pressurized
irrigation system, as the current system provides bubblers to the trees only, but does not
currently water the ground.
7. Existing Structures: The proposed gymnasium site contains two existing structures,
which it appears shall be demolished as part of this project. The Applicant shaH verify
whether or not the existing structures will be demolished when the gymnasium is built.
8. Handicapped parking: The Applicant's architect (CTA Architects) sha1l verify whether
or not the proposed site plan meets the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities
Act, and if not, provide a revised site plan showing how the parking shall be modified.
9. Building Height: The proposed gymnasium shall not exceed thirty-five (35) feet high per
the Maximum Building Height shown in Ordinance 11-9-1. Building elevations were
submitted with the application, but the height is difficult to read, though it appears that it
may be 33'-6". The Applicant shall verify the actual height. Applicant shall present a
revised elevation plan that shows more variation to the gym design on the Carlton Street
side and a revised site plan showing the planned trash enclosure.
10. Setbacks: The proposed structure is subject to all required setbacks of Ordinance 11-9-1
for the L-O zone. The submitted site plan appears to meet all of the required setbacks.
11. Water/sewer: This facility is currently served by the City of Meridian's sanitary sewer
and water systems. Existing sanitary sewer and water assessments shall be compared
with the anticipated impact, to determine whether additional assessments are warranted.
If additional assessments are warranted, Applicant shall pay for them with the issuance of
his building permit for tenant improvements.
12. As part ofa conditional use permit, the City of Meridian may impose additional
restricti on sl conditions.
13. Existing trees shall be protected and retained in accordance with Meridian City Code 12-
13-13.
14. Off-street parking sha1l be provided in accordance with the City of Meridian Zoning and
Development Ordinance and/or as detailed in site-specific requirements. All parking and
areas of circulation shall be improved with a hard surface in accordance with Meridian
City Code 11-13-4-D, and shall be installed and striped in accordance with the approved
site plan and Ordinance 11-13-4-D, -F.
15. All construction and site improvements shall conform to the requirements of the
Americans with Disabilities Act.

and shall be submitted to the City Engineer (Ord. 557, 10 1 91) for all off-street parking
areas. All drainage water is to be maintained on-site. Storm water treatment and disposal
must be designed in accordance with Depal1ment of Environmental Quality 1997
publication Catalog of Storm Water Best Management Practices for Idaho Cities and
Counties and City of Meridian standards and policies. Off-site disposal into surface
water is prohibited unless the jurisdiction which has authority over the receiving stream
provides written authorization prior to development plan approval. The Applicant is
responsible for filing all necessmy applications with the Idaho Department of Water
Resources regarding Shallow Injection Wells.
17. All exterior lighting, whether attached to the building or located within the parking lot,
shall be down-shielded or otherwise altered so that the light does not spill over onto
adjacent properties or right-of-way. All parking lot lighting shall be in accordance with
Ordinance 11-13-4-C.
18. All signage shall be in accordance with the standards set forth in Section 11-14 ofthe

STATEMENT OF FACTS RELATIVE TO LEGAL AUTHORITY
AND JURISDICTION
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The applicant, Imaging Center Radiologists, L.L.P, and owner of the property
located at 2929 E. Magic View Drive, filed for a variance from the requirements of Meridian
City Code at S 11- I 4-9 F. 3. in order to install a second wall sign on the east side of their building
that would be visible from S. Allen Street.
2. Applicant, Imaging Center Radiologists, L.L.P., seeks a variance of the sign
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND --
ORDER OF DECISION DENYING VARIANCE I
IMAGING CENTER RADIOLOGISTS, L.L.P. I (V AR-02-008)
Page 3 of 7
requirements because their existing wall sign is visible only from E. Magic View Drive.
3. The location of the subject property is located in a Limited Office District (L-O) at
2929 E. Magic View Drive, Meridian, Idaho.
4. The legal description of the propeliy appeliains to the real property that is included
within the Vicinity Map as appears in the record of proceeds of this matter, and which legal
description is on file in the City Clerk's office at Meridian City Hall.
5. It is found that there are no special circumstances affecting the property that would
make the strict application of the sign ordinance impractical or unreasonable. The applicant
already has the ability to place at least four signs on the propeliy; free-standing signs on both
Magic View Drive and Allen Street and wall signs (existing) visible from Magic View Drive on
the east side of the building and the north side ofthe building. The applicant can re-Iocate the
existing wall sign to the north side of the building and that would allow for a new wall sign to be
placed on the east side of the building, as requested, and then apply for two free standing signs if
they need more signage.
6. It is found that the "L" shaped configuration of the subject lot does restrict the
visibility and identification of the applicant's building when viewed from Allen Street.
However, it is not found that the shape of the lot, or the physical conditions affecting the
property is an extraordinary hardship. The applicant can apply for a" free-standing sign on Allen
Street that should alleviate any confusion with finding the applicant's building. No unreasonable
specific circumstances and conditions that make strict compliance with MCC 11-14-9 F.3. are
found, or that the conditions and requirements of this Title will result in inhibiting the
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND --
ORDER OF DECISION DENYING VARIANCE I
IMAGING CENTER RADIOLOGISTS, L.L.P. I (V AR-02-008)
Page 4 of 7
achievements or objectives of the Zoning Ordinance and Sign Ordinance.
7. It is found that the requested variance will not be detrimental to the public's
welfare or injurious to other properties in the area. However, the goals and objectives of the
Sign Ordinance will be compromised should a variance be granted.
8. It is found that the issuance of a variance for the additional wall sign will have the
effect of altering the purpose and interest of the Sign Ordinance. The Sign Ordinance provides
for additional wall signs and free-standing signs that could be placed on site without the need for
a variance. No justification can be found for allowing a variance to the Sign Ordinance when
several options that comply with the Sign Ordinance exist.
9. Pursuant to the staff testimony and action of the City Council at their July 2, meeting,
that the request for variance should be denied because no facts exist which satisfy the
requirements ofMCC 11-14-9 F. 3.
DECISION AND ORDER
NOW, THEREFORE, BASED UPON THE ABOVE AND FOREGOING FINDINGS OF
FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW, the City Council does hereby Order and this does Order:
1. Pursuant to SS 11-18-3 A and Band 11-14-9 F.3., which prohibits more than one wall
sign on each side of a building used by a single tenant, and that there are no special circumstances
affecting the property that would make the strict application of the sign ordinance impracticable or
unreasonable, and that there no specific circumstances and conditions that make strict compliance to
MCC 11-14-9 F. 3. unreasonable, or that the conditions and requirements ofthis Title would result
in inhibiting the achievements or objectives of the Zoning Ordinance and Sign Ordinance, and lastly
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND --

the Sign Ordinance would have to compromised if the variance was granted, the Applicant is hereby
denied the sign variance as per the decision of the City Council at their July 2,2002, meeting, for
the real property located at 2929 E. Magic View Drive, Meridian, Idaho.

He: WH Moore Property - Eagle RoadlUstick Road
CITY OF MERIDIAN
CITY CI FRK Ol=1="1CF
Winston Moore owns approximately 58 acres at the northwest comer of Eagle Road and
Ustick Road. The approximate12 northerly acres of this parcel are located within the Boise
City Area of Impact with the remaining 46 acres located within the Meridian City Area of
Impact. It is the desire of Mr. Moore to have all of the 58 acres located within the Meridian
City Area of Impact.
Mr. Moore's representative, Jonathan Seel, has been in contact with Patricia Nilson at Ada
County regarding the process required to adjust the Area of Impact boundary line between
Boise and Meridian. Jonathan reports that a renegotiation meeting between the County
and Meridian is the starting point. Apparently a meeting is scheduled for later this month or
next month and Patricia suggested that this item could be included as an agenda item in that
meeting. Following that meeting, the adjustment to the Impact Boundary line would need to
be approved by Meridian P&Z, Ada County P&Z, Meridian City Council and Ada County
Commissioners. Apparently this process could take 4 months or so unless a combined
meeting could be held for the two planning and zoning commissions.
This 58 acre parcel is not contiguous to existing Meridian City limit and no readily available
route for annexation seems to exist. Accordingly, Mr. Moore appears to be interested in
filing a development application with Ada County for his property just to get his development
ball rolling, so to speak. It is uncertain when he would file this application and Jonathan has
indicated he will probably wait until after the new Meridian City Comprehensive Plan is
approved. If an annexation route can be found Mr. Moore is
From lhe detik of...
more than willing to pursue annexation and would then file
all applications through the City of Meridian.

In the event Mr. Moore does file a development application with Ada County, they will not
accept it unless provisions are made for sewer and water service. In that regard, Ada
County is requiring, and Mr. Moore is requesting, a "will serve" letter from the City of
Meridian. A Meridian City water line exists along the south frontage of Mr. Moore's property
and sewer service to this property will be provided by a sewer line to be constructed as a
part of the South Slough sewer trunk project. The South Slough sewer trunk project is
scheduled to begin no later than November 1, 2002 and be completed by May 1, 2003.
Attached is "draft" version of "will serve" letter for your consideration along with a letter
written by Jonathan Seel on behalf of Mr. Moore requesting this City committment.l

RE: "Utility Will Serve" - Northwest Corner UsticklEagle Roads
Dear J etf:
Please accept this letter as a "will serve" commitment by the City of Meridian for water and sanitary
sewer service to the approximate 58 acres of property owned by Mr. Winston Moore, which property
is generally located at the northwest corner of Us tick Road and Eagle Road, as shown on the attached
drawing. The Meridian City Council, by its actions on July 16, 2002, approved ofthis commitment.
A 12-inch diameter water line exists along this property's Ustick Road frontage. A sanitary sewer
line, to be located in Ustick Road, is a part of the South Slough Sewer Trunk project, which is to
begin no later than November 1, 2002 and be completed by May 1, 2003. All of Me Moore's
property, Parcell, 2 and 3 as shown on the attached drawing, can be physically served by City of
Meridian water and sewer, excepting Parcel 3 until such time as Parcel 3 is officially transferred by
Ada County from Boise City to Meridian City Area oflmpact. Mr. Moore has unequivocally
verbally agreed to future City ofMerdian annexation as a condition of receiving City sewer and water
servIce.
Sincerely,
Robert D. Corrie

Mayor Robert Corrie
Members of Meridian City Council
City of Meridian
33 East Idaho Ave.
Meridian, Idaho
Dear Mayor and Council Members:
Winston Moore owns three contiguous parcels of unimproved land at the northwest quadrant of Ustick and
Eagle Road, which total approximately 57.84 acres.Mr. Moore has acquired this land with the intent of
developing a business park with an interior road system. Of this total land area, approximately 12.23 acres
are in the Boise City limits and the balance is in the City of Meridian impact area. I have enclosed a site
map illustrating the impact line separating the two jurisdictions.
Given this somewhat unusual situation, we asked Mayor Coles and the Boise City Council for their opinion
on adjusting the impact line so that all of Mr. Moore's land is solely in the Meridian area of impact.
Simply put, we asked Boise to transfer the J 2.23 acres of the impact area to the City of Meridian. Mayor
Coles and the City Council have reviewed our request and feel it is "fair and reasonable" to adjust the
impact line (see attached letter from Mayor Coles). Please bear in mind their decision was not a formal
approval, but is their position regarding commencing a formal approval process.
With the understanding that Boise will not oppose transferring this land to the Meridian area of impact, we
are now submitting this letter requesting Meridian's preliminary feedback on accepting this land, and also
providing a Will Serve Utility Letter for the entire 57.84 acres of land.
The basis for requesting the Will Serve Letter is this land is in the Meridian's area of impact but not within
the City limits. We understand the City generally requires the land be almexed before water and sewer
services are provided to the landowner. However, at this time there is no adjoining land within the City
limits; therefore, there is no path for annexation. We are certainly willing to support annexation when it
becomes available, and in fact are willing to make this an irrevocable condition to the City issuing a Will
Serve Letter. (As a side note, Pinnacle Engineers has determined the proposed Us tick sewer line can serve
the entire 57.84 acres, which includes the 12.23 acres.) With respect to utilities, water is in Ustick and as
we understand it, sewer should be available by the first of next year.
Winston Moore envisions a first class business park at the intersection of Ustick and Eagle and hopes to
submit a development application to the County under the assumption sewer and water will be available to
the site. However, without the City of Meridian's cooperation our hands are tied and the best we can do is
farm the land in the Meridian area, and since Boise can provide utilities to their land, submit a development
application for the 12.23 acres. We hope you will assist us in developing a quality project in Meridian.
Assuming the Mayor and Council respond favorably on both the impact line modification and Will Serve
Letter, we will begin the formal approval process with Meridian, Boise and Ada County to adjust the area
of impact boundary.

RE; Silverstone Subdivision Latecomer Agreements
Dear Brad:
In regards to your letter dated July 8, 2002, eve included a marc detailed list to describe the
General ConcUions and Construction Manager costs. Please understand these are all dlrect COSIS
atlributed to Sundance by the Sewer and Water pro~ects. We do not fee!lhal iT is reasonable to
penalize the developer that ir.stalls the system, by subsidizing :he compcl:tion.
Here is a list of the items ip.c:uded in the General Condition and Construction Manager
ca.tegories:
Safety equipment, Storage Containers, Temporary Telephone, Temporary Power,
Portable Toilets, Project Trailer, Office Supplies and Postage, Plan Duplication, StTeet
Clea~l-up, Project Manager - Gene Bennett, Project Superintendent - Jc. \1uITay.
A II costs are :.olely those attributed to the Sewer and Waler project.
Please contact me if there is tlllyth:ng fUl1her I can do to clarify. Also, I'm at your convenience
if you or the council rinds it necessary for me. to a.ttend the meeting on July 16,2002 m person.
Thank YOll for your attention, and hopefully this clears IIp any question so we can finalize the
latecomer agreements.

RE: SILVERSTONE SUBDIVISION LATECOMER AGREEMENTS
Dear Ryan:
As detailed In my June 28memo to the Mayor and Council and copied to you, I presented the
question of eligible reimbursement costs to them. I could not adequately answer their questions
regarding the costs listed in your request for "General Conditions" and "Construction Manager."
Consequently, they asked that I provide more information for them so that they can resume the
discussion at their meeting on July 16. Please prepare a written explanation of these two cost
items and send to me by noon on Thursday, July 11, 2002 (fax will be fine) so that I can get it
into the Council packets for their July 16 meeting_
None of the five questions for which I requested discussion and direction were resolved at the
July 2 Council meeting.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
~~~

Meridian City Council Special Meeting
July 2. 2002
The Special Meeting of the Meridian City Council was called to order at 6:05 P.M. on
Tuesday, July 2, 2002, by Council Member Tammy De Weerd.
Members Present: Mayor Robert Corrie, Keith Bird, Bill Nary, Cherie McCandless, and
Tammy de Weerd.
Staff Present: Gary Smith, Brad Watson, Bill Nichols, Tom Kuntz, Mike Worley and Will
Berg.

De Weerd: It's been moved and second to adopt the agenda as presented. All those in
favor say aye. All ayes.
MOTION CARRIED
Item 3. Discussion of water and sewer latecomer agreements with Sundance
Company for Silverstone Subdivision project:
De Weerd: Okay. Item number three is the discussion of water and sewer latecomer
agreement with Sundance Company for Silverstone. Staff?
Watson: Thank you Council President and Council Members. This is a little out of
sequence as you're probably aware and if you've read the memo, you kind of
understand the background. We've been trying to develop a latecomer's agreement
with the Sundance Company and what they're insisting be included in the agreement is
different than what we have done with every latecomer agreement in the past. Usually,
we bring a signed agreement to you for approval and it's all well and good and it's
approved and we move on. This one has some things that have just not been approved
Meridian City Council Special Meeting
July 2,2002
Page 2 of 9
before and rather than wasting their time and signing something that doesn't conform to
the past and bringing it before you and having it subject to some criticism, I thought
we'd just get these questions answered. I'll get on with preparing an agreement. They
can get it signed and we'll get it back to you for approval. There are looks like five
different questions that I posed in that memo. The first one has to do with eligible cost.
Traditionally, we have included only construction, our cost, engineering cost and
easement acquisition, although that's somewhat rare. Sundance has submitted-if I
can find it here. I think it's on the third sheet back-some other costs, including what
they term general conditions and construction manager that amount to about 15% of the
total reimbursement amount. They've also included a minimal amount on an architect
and then some for testing and inspection. These numbers are very large. This was a
large project. They extended sewer. I think the total footage is probably a mile, mile
and a quarter, maybe even more than that. It was very deep. It was in Overland Road,
went to the Eagle intersection and the total water that they installed, I think, was almost
two miles of water all together. So, these costs are high. I did review them and I didn't
have anything on file that was comparable in terms of size, depth or difficulty. The unit
prices are higher than what we've seen. That's not really the question. The question
more has to do with eligible cost, specifically construction management and the
architect and the testing and inspection. The ordinance from my reading of it is
somewhat ambiguous. Section 94-19, Part A is sort of the introductory paragraph to the
reimbursement agreement. It says that the City may enter into an agreement that all or
a portion of the costs will be reimbursed. Then in Part 2, it says no reimbursement
agreement shall pay to the user extending the line more than 100% of his actual
engineering and construction costs. That's where the question lies.
De Weerd: Okay. Council, do you have any questions? I guess I do. None of this was
talked about prior to the application or going through the process. Is this something that
all came up after approval?
Watson: Council President De Weerd and Council Members. We-I've had this
information for probably-I had preliminary information around the first of the year.
Then once they ended up finished construction, final cost. So, yes, these have been in
there from the very-well, pretty much since the project has been completed or almost
completed. As I said, we've been going around for three or four months on this. If
you're talking about when they initially proposed the project, we never got into this
detail. I noticed the letter here that they sent today that they gave us a budget last July
and I don't have that in my files. Perhaps they did, but at that point, it's merely a
budget.
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Brad, the question I guess I have is-and you're right. I think the ordinance is
pretty broad as to what are eligible costs and I understand the reason that you're here is
because our interpretation of what that means is what we've used in the past and this is
a little different. In Sub-Part B of both the water and the sewer, they're both-both of
these are identical aren't they? I mean, when I look at them, they look the same. It's
Meridian City Council Special Meeting
July 2, 2002
Page 3 of 9
just ones for water and ones for sewer. When it talks about reimbursement from the
City, do we have other examples from the City? Have we built any of these and gotten
reimbursement? Did we include that type of cost that they're requesting when we do it?
Watson: Council member Nary. We have agreements but we've always just included
our costs, construction costs and the engineer. We don't have project managers. I'm
not sure what they do on a sewer project. I know what the engineer does and maybe
our engineer functions as the project manager. I don't have any objection to these
costs. The potential pitfall is that people that come in subsequent and hook on and are
charged this fee, they want to go through this calculation and find out what they're being
charged for, what they're being asked to reimburse. I don't know if I can defend that
one way or the other. To answer your question, we don't have-
Nary: We just don't have a (inaudible) from the City side. Okay.
Bird: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Brad, I see on this formula that they sent that their architect, engineer, surveying,
testing and inspection was 7.5%. I've been checking over what our engineers are
charging us on projects and it's running 15-16%. I don't know if these guys did the
same thing or if you had some engineering done on it or if they did all of the engineering
or-
Watson: Councilman Bird, all we did was plan review.
Bird: Beg your pardon?
Watson: All we did was plan review on this particular project. The White Trunk, I think
our engineering, surveying and I guess you would call it construction management, is
probably going to run 15% of the total project.
Bird: I think that's probably some of the construction manager part of the cost. The
general conditions, I don't know what Petra did at that point. I don't know what they call
general conditions on that. Also, Brad, you say they did not give you a budget like other
states that you can find or recall?
Watson: Well, I didn't look for one specifically after I got this late this afternoon but they
very well may have given us a budget but really at the time and quite honestly it doesn't
mean anything to me when a project is just being proposed. I'm not thinking latecomer.
In fact, I'm sure they won't agree but this is about the fastest we've ever even attempted
to turn around a latecomer agreement after construction is done.
Nichols: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nichols.
Meridian City Council Special Meetiny
July 2, 2002
Page 4 of 9
Nichols: Mr. Mayor, if I can ask a question of Brad? Brad, typically, don't we look at the
latecomer agreements in terms of the increased capacity to serve other lands? In some
of these, are you satisfied with these costs they've listed or tied in to their increasing the
capacity of those lines?
Watson: Mr. Nichols, this was-I don't know that they increased any capacity. They
created some capacity in an area that had zero. The way that these are structured is
that the entire benefit area served by that extension is projected and their proportionate
flow is taken out of the equation. In other words, they're responsible for their
percentage of that total number of units that they would contribute. The remaining costs
are divided out over everyone else's projected units of flow. Did I evade your question?
Nichols: Brad, what I'm looking at is, if there was nobody upstream from them at all and
they just install the line just to serve their project, they would be the only one that would
have cost for that project, but when they do something to where additional folks can
hook in, like putting in a pipe that's larger in size than what would be required to serve
that development or maybe contributing something that's going to increase the City's
ability to serve a bigger area. The difference between what it would cost them to serve
themselves and what they put in is what's ordinarily looked at for the latecomer. At
least, in my mind, that's the concept. They've done something more than what's
required for their development and as a result, those that would benefit from being able
to use that system, would have to pay a proportionate share of that benefit.
Watson: Well, Mr. Nichols, that may be the way it's supposed to work but that isn't the
way they've been calculated in the past. It's like when they build the line. There's one
big piece of pie. However much flow they have, they're responsible for that slice and
the cost associated with that. It may not even be half of an eight-inch line that they
would have extended just for themselves. We just take the total number of projected
ERU's in that service area or the benefit area and divided by the total number of
projected ERU's, generally. If Council would like, I can talk to them and get some more
specifics on exactly what general conditions and construction manager consist of and
bring that back if-
Bird: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Yes. I'd like to see Brad work with them. See what that is, Brad, and see if we
can't hammer out an agreement that's beneficial to the City and satisfactory to the
developer, to the contractor. I would ask them for their budget figures that they gave
you July of 2001,
Watson: I can certainly look for that.
Bird: They should have it on record.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Meridian City Council Special Meeting
July 2, 2002
Page 5 of 9
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Brad, I guess the bottom line-what's-I understand this is different than we
have interpreted that ordinance previously. What's your concern about if we were to
change that interpretation and going forward? Because it appears, to me, that it's pretty
open-ended the way the ordinance is written and what they've asked for isn't outside of
what the way the ordinance is written. It's outside of the way we've read it previously.
What's your concern if we were to read it the way they're asking?
Watson: Councilman Nary and Council members. My only concern, I guess, is the
precedent and I guess we don't see many projects this big that would warrant a
construction manager. That's the first concern. That's fine if we want to do this for
everybody we can do that. Second, is the projects that come in afterward, after this
agreement has been executed by the Council and the developers that start questioning,
well, I don't know what costs are.
Nary: Wouldn't our answer to them be tough luck?
Watson: It certainly could be. Although, I'm the one that gets the phone calls.
Nary: Or you want to build your own pipe, you can pay $500,000 bucks and build the
pipe yourself and serve your property and hook it up to our system but if you want to
just hook on, that's the price of this. It's just a precedent concern really, is what it is to
you, right?
Watson: There's a little bit of concern and I'm trying to kind of stay away from it. There
is a little bit of concern on the people that come afterward on the maybe the due
process. They're being impacted by a fee that affects the property they intend to
develop that they-
Nary: Well, they are no matter what cost we associate with it. Their affect is the same
as the level of affect that they have is just the higher cost. The fact that they're affected
by having a latecomer's agreement, that doesn't change, no matter what. It's just the
amount they have to pay. Thank you.
Corrie: Mrs. De Weerd.
De Weerd: I believe Mr. Nary pretty much covered with (inaudible).
Watson: Can I try to get through these others fairly quickly? Okay. Thank you. The
interest cost, number two bullet on there, they're requesting reimbursement for interest
cost on their construction loan. Again, that something we hadn't done in the past. Item
number three, at least in the sewer reimbursement agreement, says a reimbursement
agreement may provide for interest to be paid to the sewer user. The way that's been
handled in the past is that the fee annually escalates at a predetermined interest rate.
That has been our interpretation, not that we pay for their construction loan interest. I
guess the key word in there is may and that's the question tonight.
Meridian City Council Special Meeting
July 2, 2002
Page 6 of 9
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. De Weerd.
De Weerd: You know, I guess a lot of what this comes down to is and I haven't read
our ordinance and how it's worded and how specific it is on what is recouped under the
reimbursement and what costs can be reimbursed to the developer and those kinds of
things. Is it specific? Do you sit down prior to applications and kind of discuss how
these things are assessed or is it just kind of-how do our applicants understand what
all these fees are going to be and how our process is and how to interpret our
ordinance? Do we have any kind of information that goes into more detail on that?
Watson: Council member De Weerd, ordinarily if someone requests a latecomer's
agreement, it's usually after the project. What we have done in the past is simply send
them a copy of a boilerplate latecomer or maybe an example of one that's already
approved. At no time, until they request a latecomer's agreement, do we start going
over the details. We don't have enough time in the week, I guess, to go over these until
it gets real and we have a real cost to work with. Although, in this case, I did do some
preliminary work before the final costs were in, at their request.
De Weerd: Is there-is our ordinance not detailed enough to kind of outline what is
accept-what is reasonable and what is acceptable in those calculations?
Nichols: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nichols.
Nichols: Mr. Mayor and members of the Council. The way I put it is, the ordinance is
just right because it gives you unfettered discretion. You don't-you're not forced to say
yes to the latecomer agreement and you're not forced to say what is exactly in it. So,
you can have some discretion. I think, in fact, you're not required to enter into one. You
can tell the developer thank you very much for the increased capacity. I think there may
be some fundamental fairness issues with that kind of approach but at least it gives you
the ability to tailor to a particular situation. Now, if you want to say we'll only pay part
construction costs or we'll only pay x, you could certainly do that. Even if you did that, I
still would recommend that you continue discretionary approval of such agreements
because there may be reasons down the road that you can't see today where you
wouldn't want to require a latecomer reimbursement.
De Weerd: But how do you remain fair and consistent if you don't have certain
guidelines?
Nary: Mr. Mayor and members of the Council. That's why Brad has always
approached in the same and always done them the same because that's what the
development community has accepted in the past, both from the reimbursement side
and from the paying side.
Meridian City Council Special Meeting
July 2, 2002
Page 7 of 9
De Weerd: This just seems like you're opening a Pandora's Box if you deviate from
how you traditionally have figured these and are you going to have people coming back
saying, well, you didn't do that for me and I want you to recalculate these. You know.
Can that happen?
Nichols: Mr. Mayor and members of the Council. I don't believe so. Since it's
discretionary and since it's a negotiated item, I don't believe that you're going to have-I
mean, you might have folks come back and ask you to reopen it but I don't think that
there'd be a basis to do so.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Brad, in the information in the memo that we have it says that this hasn't been
done in the past. Do you know, has it been asked for in the past and been rejected?
Have we had this type of discussion previously or has it always been done at the staff
level and no one's ever really pushed the issue about interest or the administrative fees
or any of those things?
Watson: Councilman Nary and members of the Council. I don't think either Gary or I
can ever remember this being requested. These are usually pretty boilerplate and
there's nothing much new that pops up.
Nary: I guess the only other comment I'd have I think Mr. Nichols is right. There's a lot
of discretion here but what they're asking for isn't outside what the ordinance is either.
It's just different. I mean, I don't think the ordinance doesn't say they can't get interest.
It just says they may. The ordinance doesn't say that the 10% administrative fee isn't
their own expense. It just says there's an administrative fee. It doesn't say it has to be
charged to the developer. It doesn't mean it can't be charged on top of a 100%
reimbursement to them. It doesn't say.
Watson: Councilman Nary, Mayor and Council. You're exactly right and I read the
same thing that these could be allowable. It's just that it's so different than anything
brought before you before. I wanted to not surprise you-
Nary: Sure. I agree.
Watson: --at approval point.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I guess-I don't know if we want more information before we try to give some
help to Gary and Brad but, I guess my only concern is if-one of these things that
benefits the City is having the developers do this and do it this way because we don't
have to front the cost to do it. Now, since they haven't asked before and it's not outside
Meridian City Council Special Meeting
July 2, 2002
Page 8 of 9
of at least what they can ask for, I think at least deserves some discussion about it
because what I would feel is that in the future, if I'm a developer I'd say I'm not going to
front that cost for you. I'm not going to do that. I'll build the line to serve my needs but
I'm not going to build the line to serve anybody else's needs and so what are we going
to do. Are we going to have ten sewer lines running down the road so that everybody
builds their own capacity and that's it? That doesn't benefit anybody. That rips the road
up ten times. We don't want to do that. So, I mean-I think there's obviously some
balance we need to find here that's reasonable and fair. It looks like it's a first
impression issue that hasn't been addressed before. I don't think we're on dangerous
ground at least discussing it and figuring out what's a fair way to resolve it that benefits
at least the City and gives Brad and Gary and the Public Works Department some clear
direction to tell the other future developments, that this is how we do it.
Bird: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Yes. We've always basically been boilerplate and finally we got somebody that's
got some other idea about latecomer's fee. I agree with Councilman Nary that we
certainly need to discuss it and see what is the benefit to the City plus to the developer
because at this point right now, we haven't got in place a fee to expand our sewer by
ourselves, which I hope we do but hasn't been done. I would hope that we would-
these developers would continue to front the money for us and then recoup it through
the latecomer's fees. I think we need to work it out for the benefit of the City and the
developer.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Mrs. De Weerd.
De Weerd: I guess I would suggest we table this until the 16th giving staff time to work
with the developer because there is no doubt that this is a huge benefit to our
community. The creation of jobs and the economic advantages that this development is
bringing to Meridian is significant. Brad, do you need anything specific from us, other
than please get back to the table and try and work this out?
Watson: Council member De Weerd, Mayor and Council members. No. I am not the
one pushing this schedule. They are. Although, no one is eminently getting ready to
hook on to this so I'm not quite sure why, other than just getting housekeeping done.
They want it done now. We have Sutherland Farms and EI Dorado coming at a future
point. Anyway, I don't need anything. Alii need from, I guess, the developer is to talk
about what exactly general conditions and construction manager costs are. I've been
through this with them many times.
De Weerd: I guess I can certainly understand why they would like to do the
housekeeping now. I'm kind of like one of those that need the details before I go too
much further. I would make a motion to table this to July 16th to allow staff time to work
with the developer to bring something back to us at that time that we can talk on.

Building Lots and 6 Other Lots on 24.21 Acres in an R-8 Zone (with PD) by Brighton
Corporation (File# FP-02-014)
We have reviewed this submittal and offer the following comments, as conditions of the
applicant. These conditions shall be considered in full, unless expressly modified or deleted by
motion of the Meridian City Council:
APPLICATION SUMMARY & LOCATION
This is the fIrst of five (5) proposed phases of Heritage/Quenzer Commons Subdivision and Planned
Development, located on the south side of the half mile line between Ustick and McMillan Roads on
the west side of N. Locust Grove Road. It encompasses the more centrally located lots within the
development, including the two main open space lots featuring the gazebo and community center. It
proposes to plat one of the two primary ingress/egress public streets that access N. Locust Grove Road,
specifIcally the southern street named E. Heritage Park Street. Twenty-two (22) of the proposed 82
single~family lots are alley-loaded lots. The property is located in an area that was designated as
Single-Family Residential in the 1993 Comprehensive Plan (the Plan under which the application was
reviewed and approved).
The gross density of Phase No.1 is 3.39 dwelling units/acre. The zoning designation of the property is
R-8. The approved Planned Development allows for reductions in the development's minimum lot and
house standards. Frontages for the proposed building lots range from 32 feet to 88 feet. Lot depths
range from approximately 100 feet to 120 feet. The minimum house size for the carriage lane homes is
1,101 s.f. and the minimum house size for the conventional homes is 1,301 s.f.
SITE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS
1. Applicant is to meet all terms of the approved preliminary plat, conditional use permit and
development agreement.
