Sewer Service Discussion by Ralph Perez of Briarwood
Corporation:
Nary: Mr. Perez.
Perez: Good evening, Madame Mayor and Council I would like to thank you for
allowing us the opportunity to come here this evening and beg you for some
services we much need in an area that we don't currently have any. Madame
Mayor, may I provide a map of the area that we are discussing to you and the
Council?
De Weerd: Yes.
i. . .
Meridian City Pre~Councu Meeting
May 11, 2004
Page 2 of 23
Perez: May I also give one to your engineer so he is clear also on what we are
discussing? The reason we are here is we - our development firm that has been
attempting to develop some land on the north side of Chinden, which is outside
of your area of impact as you all know and within Eagle City's area of impact. As
you probably also know, the City of Eagle does not provide sewer service
anywhere within their jurisdiction. There is a sewer district - Eagle Sewer
District, which is not affiliated with the City, it's a private organization that
provides sewer in the areas that they have lines and cans service. Unfortunately,
they are primarily - well, not primarily they are exclusively down in the river
bottom. They are not anywhere up on the bench area and all the development
that has occurred in that area say from Eagle Road going west is larger lots -
one acre lots and septic tanks, which has created some problems that we are
finding now are affecting us in the way of high nitrate levels in the groundwater.
Some environmental concerns, obviously that comes about by having a high
density of septic tanks. In fact, as I understand it the DEQ and Department of
Health had come up with new standards in the last year that require a minimum
lot size of two acres to even have a septic or onsite sewer for a home, which kind
of puts Eagle in a particularly interesting position where they have zoned things
for one acre lots, but they don't have any services for one acre lots and you can't
build on a one acre lot without sewer. Nonetheless, we are not doing one-acre
lots in our development, but we do have a pretty low density for that area. It's
1.26 units per acre. There is not a whole lot of additional ground over there that
is left undeveloped. Currently, the Linley Farm and the Linley's are here in the
audience this evening and Mr. Linley and his family farmed this ground for 40
years and he would like to retire and we are trying to help him along the way,
here, but not having much luck, so that's why he is here tonight to help support
our efforts. They have got a 119 acres, which is a little under half of the
undeveloped ground. The LDS Church also has a site there - a five acre site on
Meridian Road, which is identified on the map, which they had went in for a
building permit and were actually refused or not able to get a sequencing batch
reactor system, which is a really high tech onsite sewer. They couldn't get it
approved because of the high nitrates in that area. So, they are here and they
have a representative, Mr. Wade. He is here tonight also to support our efforts,
which they would like to participate with us and if we can get your approval to
move forward so that we can resolve their need for sewer as well. Then there-
Stage Realty has 80 acres and then on the corner of Linder and Chinden there is
38-acre parcel - two parcels that make up 38 acres that is undeveloped. So,
about 242 acres of ground. It is scheduled for one unit per acre. We are doing a
little bit of additional density, like I said 1.26, so if I used ours as a guideline,
which has yet to be seen that we can get 1.26 there would be around 305 units
added to your system. The conversations that we've had with your staff, with
Gary Smith and Brad Watson basically as we understand that this area is not
your general concern and not within your jurisdiction, we understand those things
and so it's hard for us or for even your staff to determine whether or not you
might have the additional capacity in your trunk lines - the north slew trunk line to
be able to bring on these 305 homes and you wouldn't be in a position to
Meridian City pre-Couni:::ti Meeting
May 11, 2004
Page 3 of 23
authorize them to expend either resources and man hours and funds to make
that determination because that's obviously not your area. So, we are here
tonight to see if we can't offer a way to move forward that might help us without
costing you and basically, we would be willing to form a coalition with these
property owners and also, by the way, I might add that I am here also on behalf
of the Eagle Sewer District. They have authorized me to basically spearhead the
effort to form a joint agreement, be an agency-to-agency type of agreement
whereby you would provide the sewer treatment for their system within these
properties. So, again we are willing to expend the finances to have your
engineers, I believe it is JUB Engineering that handles your (inaudible) to have
them re-calculate the models and determine whether or not there is an excess of
capacity that would allow you to service this area without causing any future
problems for your growth in that area. Touching upon the agency-to-agency
agreement, I think there is precedence set here. Garden City - they do no sewer
treatment whatsoever. All of it is contracted with the City of Boise, but they do
their own collection. They do their own billing and they just have this agreement
with the City of Boise. The Eagle Sewer District, also has an agreement along
the lines we are proposing to provide sewer treatment for it's area that they do
service. Their treatment plant they had - you know they had problems with years
ago and so they entered into an agreement with Boise - it's all pumped up to
Boise and they haven't had any problems with that arrangement as far as Boise
setting a precedence of providing sewer outside their area or anything like that
that could cause a problem for you when you are dealing with other areas
outside of your immediate boundaries. So, I am sure you are all asking what
does this have to do with us? What's in it for us? Obviously, a question I would
ask if I was sitting there. Why should we be listening to this guy? One is it's
always good to be a good neighbor. You know, the Eagle Sewer District, you
know, like I say they are not part of Eagle City and so the good neighbor thing is
a (inaudible) one, but I just wanted to raise that. The other thing is that it is
environmentally sound. It's environmentally the prudent thing to do. In fact,
Senator Howell Bunderson, I know, that Mr. Smith and I don't know if Mr. Watson
has been to any of the committee meetings, but he has formed a common sense
environmental- or a environmental common sense committee to try and address
this very issue on a state-wide basis and of course we don't want to wait around
for that committee because the (inaudible) was really long and the interests were
really divergent and I don't think they are ever going to resolve anything at that
level. Maybe we can set an example and do it on a local basis. Another reason
that - a couple of reasons that might benefit the City is if in fact you do have
some additional capacity there again without compromising your own growth
area, based on current hook-up fees 305 additional homes would generate a little
over $480,000 of revenue to your Public Works Department to help with your
facilities' costs and then ongoing sewer treatment billing. On average, I spoke to
your Public Works Department this afternoon to get an idea. I know you base it
on water consumption, but on average around a $20 a month bill would generate
another $6,000 per month in income to the Public Works Department. So, that-
it's not something that's going to cost you money. I think it's something that
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
May 11, 2004
Page 4 of 23
could help you pay for your facilities and to upgrade your facilities or whatever
you need to do there. Then one other consideration is that you have got an area,
as I understand it, on the south side of Chinden there and I am not exactly sure
how far east it goes, but in our conversations I know it would include that Catholic
Church that currently has it's own system that's at the corner of Meridian and
Chinden Boulevard. There is an area from there clear down to Linder Road, I
believe, that cannot gravity sewer into your existing north slew line that they are
building currently and so there would either have to be lift stations created for
those individual properties, or a separate line and I believe your staff has looked
at or at least tentatively drawn a plan for a line that would come up Linder to
Chinden and then go along the south side of Chinden to allow for a gravity
(inaudible) situation for those properties within your jurisdiction. So, with this
effort we may be able to expedite the construction of that line which would allow
your - the property owner's in your jurisdiction a much quicker opportunity to
develop without having to wait for individual developments to drag that all the
way to them. So, those are my initial arguments. I would entertain any
questions.
Nary: Council, any questions?
Bird: Mr. President.
Nary: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Are they on a septic system or are they sewered down over the hill by
Boise?
Perez: They are on septic system.
Bird: They are on a septic system?
Perez: They are as close, as I understand it, the closest Boise line is near
Chinden on the south side says between Locust Grove and Eagle Road. I am
not sure how far that comes, but it doesn't go down that far. And interesting
enough, I had contacted Boise to see if they couldn't access that line since they
already had this treatment agreement and they informed me that yeah, we have
an agreement to treat their sewer, but we don't have an agreement to collect it,
so you can't use our collection lines. You can get it to the plant, we will treat it for
you, but you can't use that line. So, kind of interesting. Again, I think that is an
example of how limiting these agreements can be structured to protect your
concerns about this getting out of control. I know that your staff had kind of
looked at that area and so you know, if we are going to go across Chinden then
we might as well consider the whole area because we may end up having to
sewer that eventually when septic tanks fail or whatnot occurs in the future. I
think that the important thing to note here is that you as a City would not be
providing sewer to this area. This area would still be provided sewer by Eagle
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
May 11 , 2004
Page 5 of 23
Sewer District. They would be in charge of collection, billing and the
responsibility would still be theirs, so the limiting nature of the agreement we are
proposing would only include the sewer capacity that is determined to be there
currently and no future requirements or responsibilities would be - would fall on
your city if their failures 10, 15 years down the road of septic tanks that would be
a concern of Eagle City and Eagle Sewer District to find a way to do that. Now,
they may come back and ask you, but you have the option to say, you know, we
don't have that capacity and we don't want to go beyond the agreement that we
were entertained earlier. I think that gives you a lot of protection as far as this
not getting out of control or causing any problems like that.
Nary: Mr. Watson, did you have any opportunity or did you want to have an
opportunity tonight to kind of address this issue?
Watson: President Nary, Madame Mayor, Council members I didn't have
anything prepared. After I talked with you several weeks ago about this issue I
took some direction from the consensus or the statements and just sort of
dropped it. I talked with Mr. Perez the next day and told him based on the
conversations or - that you had that I wasn't comfortable spending staff time
pursuing it any farther and that maybe this was his best avenue that if you so
directed that we could investigate it more or do whatever we needed to do. So,
no I don't have anything tonight.
Nary: Okay. Council do you have any other questions or direction to our Public
Work's staff or want to mull it over and bring it back next week?
Bird: Mr. President, J would prefer to bring it back next week. I would like to
(inaudible) on it; phone calls or some of that stuff.
Nary: Is there any direction to the staff at this juncture, Mr. Bird?
Bird: Stay like it is. I don't see putting any money into it yet. I don't think our
whole area of impact is sewered out yet is it?
Inaudible speaker: No.
Nary: Okay, well Mr. Perez, I think - is that the consensus of everyone?
Rountree: I would agree with that, Mr. President.
Nary: All right, Mr. President what we will do is we will schedule this again on our
pre-council agenda. How are we looking? Put it out one week or two weeks
would be better? Two weeks. Why don't we do that so we don't have to set it
over again. We will set it for two weeks from tonight. We will set it just like this
again for a few minutes for us to have a discussion and again at that juncture we
will hopefully have maybe a better idea of what we would like to do or explore it
( (

further or whether or not we would like to not do that. I guess two weeks we will
just reset it on this same agenda. The time may change, so you may want to -
or Mr. Berg's office can get in touch with you to make sure that in case the time is
earlier than 6:00.
Perez: Okay.
De Weerd: Mr. President.
Nary: Madame Mayor.
De Weerd: I guess I would suggest Ralph that you come with a summary of
what your proposal is in terms of - we know our staff time is really stretched and
would you then be personally your group or partners be hiring JUB to do a study
on how this could all be put together any detail that you can provide in covering
costs and the terms of the agreement - kind of a little bit about what you covered
tonight, but in the Reader's Digest form.
Perez: Okay, Madame Mayor that's fine. That is what we are proposing that this
would not be an expense to your City - that we proposed it (inaudible) the study
to determine whether you have that capacity and I would be happy to provide
that information. I will send a letter over for the Council and Mayor. If anybody
has questions of me on the interim, my telephone number if you would want to
make a note of it is 761-4342 and I would be happy to answer any questions at
any time. Thank you for your time this evening.
Nary: Thank you. Oh, Ms. Skeggs, there you are.
Item 4.
Discussion of Amendments to Standard Operation Policv and
Procedure dealing with hours of work, overtime compensation,
and holidays by Pauline Skeggs:
Skeggs: I am just short. Mayor De Weerd, President Nary and Council
members you should have received a copy of the hours of work, overtime and
holiday policies that I revised to include the compressed work week and flexible
work schedules. I have been working with the department directors on this policy
for several months and it's now ready for implementation. A compressed
workweek is a schedule that permits full-time employees to work an equivalent of
full work in five or fewer days. An example would be an employee working a
four, ten-hour day or a nine eighty-work week, where an employee works 80
hours over a nine-day period. A flexible work schedule would basically be the
start and end time is different from the standard operating time and it allows
employees to choose their work hours within a limited time period set by the City.
In the policy we put seven to nine and stopping at four to six. The advantage of
offering a compressed work week is that it reduces turn over, improves
employee's job satisfaction facilitates the scheduling of appointments and
f.
Meridian City Pre-CounCil Meeting
May 11, 2004
Page 7 of 23
improves employee's life satisfaction by increasing the time off that they have to
spend on leisure activities. The advantage of offering a flex time allows
employees to avoid the rush hour traffic, accommodates childcare arrangements,
they are able to coordinate with their working spouse to tailor the flex time to get
their children to daycare and it also suits the needs of the employee and the City.
The advantage for both is that it improves the employee's morale can go up and
customer service. It can reduce tardiness and absenteeism and it helps to aUract
and retain talented workers. The disadvantage basically is when employees on
different schedules or compressed workweeks there is problems with
communications at times when meetings are being scheduled. If employees
work different schedules then department directors may have to reschedule
where all employees are there at the same time. Six departments right now have
taken a survey and decided that their employees want to either use the
compressed workweek or flexible time schedule. They are Planning & Zoning,
Accounting, Utility Billing, Wastewater, Water and Public Works. Planning &
Zoning has four employees that want to utilize the compressed workweek. Two
of the employees would be off on Fridays and two on Mondays. The employees
who are working will cover for the employees that are off. Accounting - all
employees have been cross-trained and will cover for one another, but right now
they don't have anybody that has been identified to participate. Utility Billing has
two employees that want to use the compressed workweek and they will cover
for one another. Wastewater also has two employees in the pre-treatment
facility; one would take every other Friday and one would take Monday off and
those employees will cover for each other. The Water Department at this time
only wants to utilize the flex time schedule, but at a later date may consider a
compressed work week for five employees and they have coverage for all
positions Monday through Friday from eight to five. Public Works has two clerical
support staff that want to work the flextime and three potential employees in
engineering are considering the compressed workweek. All those positions also
have coverage Monday through Friday from eight to five. To implement the
changes of compressed work week and the change to hours work. We changed
three policies. The hours of work, overtime and holiday policies. The hours of
work, I basically added sections - a new section - compressed work week and
flex time Section II and then in the overtime policy we added Section V under
hours worked and work period defined. We had to add - I added a Section B
and C that defines the designated work period and the holiday policy was
changed to add the compressed work week and nine hours and then as part of
the holiday policy, management had also request that those employees who are
required to work a work shift be compensated at the hours and not just the eight
hours of holiday. Right now that would only impact two departments. We have
Police and Wastewater that are required to work ten-hour shifts. For those
employees who voluntarily want to participate in the compressed work week,
they would only be paid eight hours of holiday unless City Council wants to
consider paying all employees working a shift - you know the hours that they
worked their regular work shift. Then as part of the packet, you also got an
incentive listing from each department what they wanted Council to consider for
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
May 11, 2004
Page 8 of 23
next year's budget and we basically looked at $50 per employee and that pool of
money will give department director's the money to use in their departments and
then the breakdown of that was kind of listed. I got a list of all departments that
are in there except for, I think, there is only one department missing and that was
City Clerks. Are there any questions?
Nary: Council, are there any questions?
Rountree: Mr, President.
Nary: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: I am not finishing perusing this, but from what I see this is at the
discretion of the employee.
Skeggs: Right. This is correct.
Rountree: I find that hard to comprehend that this isn't at the discretion of the
supervisor.
Skeggs: Well, the supervisor would have to approve it.
Rountree: Okay.
Skeggs: But, it would be available to all regular, fullRtime employees and right
now the listing that I had given you were those only employees that once they
took a survey in the departments and only six departments right now, the
employees wanted to utilize it. The Police already use the ten hour work shift,
but they didn't want to expand it out to their clerical support and then we had
other departments as well that aren't going to utilize the compressed work week
whether it's because they couldn't compensate like City Clerk's because he
needs all his employees there working. They don't have - they are short staffed
so they don't have coverage for an employee to be gone. But, the departments
that are requesting were the six that I had listed. Those are the only ones right
now,
Rountree: Mr. President.
Nary: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: Another question. Is this applicable to department heads as well as
other critical section supervisors and those types of reports?
Skeggs: That's correct, but right now we don't have any of those individuals that
would be participating and basically to go to a compressed workweek or flex
hours, the approvals is based on the staffing needs and the employee's job
Meridian City Pre~CounclI Meeting
May 11, 2004
Page 9 of 23
duties and work record. Also, if they find that employees on a compressed
workweek that they need them to work overtime then they would be subject to
that as well. Also, they may have to change them back if they go to compressed
work week and it doesn't work out for that individual, then at the supervisor's
discretion they have the right to change the employee back to a regular eight to
five work shift Monday through Friday.
De Weerd: Mr. President.
Nary: Madame Mayor.
De Weerd: I guess I did want to clarify the documents that you have in front of
you. You have received before; you just didn't know what was changed. The
changes weren't noted.
Rountree: The blue is different.
De Weerd: The blue shows the changes.
Rountree: Okay.
Nary: I have a couple of questions, too. I have a concern because I think there
is a mixed message here. I think a compressed workweek or a flex schedule is
always the management's right, not the employee's right, the management's right
and although it does say here that supervisors have to approve it, it seems to be
unclear when you tell the employees on one hand that every employee has the
option, but we have to approve it. I think it needs to be clearer that it is - that
employees can request a compressed work week or a flex schedule, but it is
management's right and it is a privilege to have and I don't see language like
that. On the 3.2 policy in the blue section of the policy portion the first sentence
says a compressed work week or flex time schedule's may be available to non-
represented, regular full time employees, but in the other part of the policy it talks
about employees not covered by collective bargaining agreement. I am
assuming that's what you mean.
Skeggs: Right.
Nary: But you should use the same term throughout the policy so they are not
inconsistent. You have employees that are represented - that's not what you
mean, you mean employees that are covered by a collective bargaining
agreement, so I think you should make the (inaudible) consistent. Nine-eighty
work weeks is not in in Section 2 of 3.2 a nine eighty work week is not employees
working nine hours for nine days, it's employees working nine hours for eight
days and one day of eight hours. Because nine hours for nine days is eighty-one
hours, so jf - since you are trying to be specific, you probably need to clarify
that's what that means. In Subsection E of that same Section 2, it says that the
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
May 11, 2004
Page 10 of 23
City reserves the right to suspend, cancel or amend this policy at any time. You
know, to me, that's really the whole basis of this as again it's a privilege to have
this, but it says the City also reserves the right to cancel or suspend use of this
schedule by any employee who experiences performance problems deemed to
be related to the new schedule. I don't think it has to be related to the new
schedule. It's a privilege and whether or not the employee has an issue with the
work schedule; if your employee has performance problems it's not necessarily
the best thing to necessarily say you have to only tie it to that. Again, I didn't
have a lot of time to read it since I just got this as we got here, but the other one I
have a question about is in 3.6 under compensatory time, sub 4 it says
compensatory time is in lieu of monetary overtime compensation, which is given
at a rate of not less than one half and one half one and one half hours for each
hour of overtime worked. I am assuming this is existing language because it's
not in blue, but it says the City does not recognize nor allow compensatory time
in lieu of overtime payment. Those are two sentences that seem contradictory to
me. Why wouldn't we allow comp time in lieu of overtime payment? That's not a
downside to the City that I can think of. The other last one in 4.1 and maybe this
is just my philosophical thing, but in Sub 3 it says for employees who voluntarily
request to work a compressed workweek schedule, a maximum of 80 hours of
holiday pay is provided. It doesn't matter whether - to me, it doesn't matter if an
employee requests a workweek schedule change, once we allow it, we allow it.
It's always our choice. So, it's not that the employee voluntarily wanted to go to
something because most people may want to go to a schedule. We allow it
because it fits the needs of the business, therefore, it's not the employee's
voluntary-ness that we are doing. We are saying, they've asked and we've
allowed it now, therefore, that employee has a compressed workweek and that's
our convenience. That's our management choice to allow it so it seems it doesn't
make sense to me essentially to penalize the employee for asking to change
their work schedule and we grant it. So, those are the few things that I picked up
in just sitting up here and reading it that I guess I'd like you to look at again and
before we just bring these forward and there may be more, I just didn't have time
to look at them. But, if you want to respond to any of those, Ms. Skeggs, that
would be fine.
Skeggs: Thank you, President Nary. Yes, on the compensation on the work shift
we do have another policy that I put in place that says that they will be
compensated for all shifts, however, in talking to the department directors, they
wanted to say if the employees volunteered to do this then they wanted to pay
them eight hours holiday, so I changed that. But, I do have another policy
wording it just covers that everybody works a work shift would be paid that shift.
So, I can get you that. I already have that done. As far as compensatory time
that was eliminated. Several years ago the City used to offer compensatory time
in lieu of overtime and City Council eliminated that because it wasn't being - the
director's basically were allowing employees to work through their lunch to get
compensatory time, so they went with the overtime policy if they worked over 40
Meridian City PrewCounclI Meeting
May 11. 2004
Page 11 of 23
hours in a work week, then it's paid at time and a half and we eliminated the
compensatory time at that time. That's why that wording is in the policy.
Nary: Well that was dumb. I mean it doesn't cost anything to - it sounds to me
like you had a management issue instead of dealing with the management issue
they just made it into a pay issue. That doesn't benefit anybody.
Skeggs: There has been discussion from department directors that they would
like to look at the compensatory time and bringing that back. So, that's
something that we could discuss further and then I could change the policy, but I
know that some of the directors have or are in favor of bringing back that
compensatory time.
Nary: And the issue on whether or not it's a privilege or did you want to think
about that?
Skeggs: Right. I'll go back and took at the policy and we can discuss it with the
directors for the-
Nary: Okay. Again, there may be more, again, Council hasn't had a lot of time to
look at it so there might be some more things. Council do you want to have this
on our agenda again or do you just want to respond to Ms. Skeggs? Do you
have a preference?
Bird: Mr. President.
Nary: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I think we can respond to Ms. Skeggs, but I also think we need to have it
back on the agenda and go through it. This isn't something that we want to just
blow through. This is something you have got to really sit down and think and
read letter for letter and make sure all the "t's" are crossed and the "I's" are
dotted.
Nary: All right. Well, we will look at the pre-council we have in the next few
weeks and try to have it on in the next two to three weeks, depending on what
our schedule's look like. We are getting a little thick, so. Does that work okay,
Ms. Skeggs that we have the Council members just directly contact you with their
thoughts - ?
Skeggs: That's fine.
Nary: -- and we will try to put this on in two, three or four weeks.
Skeggs: That's fine, Councilman Nary.

(Inaudible discussion)
Nary: Our next item is surplus, real property. Mr. Smith.
Item 5.
Discussion of Surplus Real Property Lot 63, Block 14 of
Thousand Springs Subdivision No.5 by Gary Smith:
Smith: Thank you, Mr. President, Madame Mayor, Council members. We have
got a piece of property out here in the Thousand Springs Subdivision. I will hand
out a little color drawing of it.
(Inaudible discussion).
Smith: This property was deeded to the City by the developer at Thousand
Springs No.5 Subdivision. It was originally designated as a site for a pressure
booster station for our water system and since we have got into the - farther into
the water system business and our pressure zones in that area we have made
the decision that we no longer need that piece of property for that use and
because it is a maintenance issue in keeping the weeds down, we have no use
for it and we have asked Mayor De Weerd to approve of surplusing it and in
accordance with instructions from our City attorney and we need to get your
concurrence and we need to establish a value for it and it needs to go to an
auction and I assume that you have my memo of April 30th? The parcel is .18
acres in size. I have a parcel number it is - address is East Three Bars Drive -
the assessor has no value assigned to it because it is a City property. So, unless
you have some value that you would like to assign to it so that we can proceed
with the auction assuming that you want to move forward with it, I guess the next
step would be to get an appraisal of it. Is that correct, Mr. Nichols?
Nichols: Mr. President.
Nary: Mr. Nichols.
Nichols: Madame Mayor and members of the Council the statute requires that
the Council declare a minimum value for the parcel. So, it's whatever information
you need in order to do that. If you want to have an appraisal done in order to
establish the minimum value, then that's one way to go about it. It's - you have
the auction and then it's basically the minimum value sets the opening bid and if
anyone bids that amount or more then it's sold and if it's - if there are no bids at
the minimum value then you are free to sell it at a negotiated price.
Smith: Mr. President.
Nary: Mr. Smith.
Meridian City Pre-Councul\l1eeting

Smith: Mayor and Council the gentleman that owns the property adjacent to this
parcel is interested in it and he has made contact with Mr. Freckleton several
times to see how this process was evolving.
Rountree: Mr. President.
Nary: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: How interested is he?
Smith: That's a good question, Councilman and I asked Bruce today and he said
he didn't know.
Rountree: Mr. President.
Nary: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: Another point. That's kind of a tricky location in terms of what use
might come with that lot if it goes to auction and I would think that we might want
to put some kind of - even though an ordinance would cover fencing if somebody
were to put a fence even 10 feet from the back of sidewalk on that lot you are
going to decrease the site distance around that corner. So, we might want to
deed restrict that in some or another as well when we get rid of it.
Smith: Yes, that is a good suggestion.
Rountree: As far as the value, I suppose we could send out for some kind of
(inaudible) value. It's not a build-able lot in that subdivision, but it would be a
build-able lot in the possibly an R-8 subdivision. Maybe that's the way to come
up with just a thumbnail minimum value as opposed to spending $400 plus for an
appraisal.
Bird: I would think that the developer could give us some kind of pretty good idea
of what that ground per square foot. I am like Councilman Rountree, three
hundred percent and that we do need a deed restriction regarding fencing on
that, I believe, for safety purposes, with our fence committee that (inaudible---).
I would think that the developer or somebody could come up with a pretty good
price on what that's worth a square foot, myself, I would think so. At least a
minimum, we could start with.
Nary: I am going to assume Mr. Smith, too, that the developer would have some
idea of what the value of it was when he gave it to us because I am going to
assume he wrote it off, so.
Smith: Yes, that's correct.
Meridian City Pre-Councu Meeting
May 11, 2004
Page 14 of 23
Nary: Using that figure is probably just as valid as anything else unless you think
there is something better.
De Weerd: Mr. President
Nary: Madame Mayor.
De Weerd: I guess, if it's a write off it might have more value than it really is
worth, so -
Nary: People don't do that
De Weerd: It's not build-able. It would be limited with deed restrictions on where
you could put the fence, so it really doesn't have a lot of value, but it has a lot of
liability at this point for the City with maintaining it and with what could happen on
it. So, I guess we do want to make sure that it's reasonable in price.
Nary: I guess my point, I think what Mr. Bird was saying too and maybe that was
just the starting point. That may not be an appropriate value, but we don't even
know what that is. So, before we go get it appraised and spend that money I
guess we could do some of that.
Smith: Okay, I will do a little research on it
Nary: Yeah, see if there is some way that we think that's a fair amount
Smith: Okay.
Nary: Because I agree, it's probably not much - how big is it again?
Smith: .18 acres.
Nary: So, yeah, it's probably not usable for too many things anyway.
Smith: I will do some research on it then and would you like me to bring it back
to the next pre-council meeting or just - do you have to make a formal -?
Nary: Maybe what you should do, if the rest of the Council is okay with it, maybe
what you could do Mr. Smith is if you could get that and we could simply put it on
a department report, let us know what that is and we can certainly take action if
all we are doing is authorizing to go ahead and do all the noticing and the like for
that. Maybe we could do it like that. Would that work Mr. Nichols, to do it that
way?
Nichols: Yes, because what you have to do is declare that minimum value.
(

Nary: Okay.

Nichols: Once that is done then we can start the process.
Nary: And that is your call whenever you want to put that on in the next few
weeks.
Smith: Okay, great.
Nary: Great, thank you.
Smith: Thank you very much.
Item 6.
Discussion of ESGR Statement of Support:
De Weerd: Mr. President.
Nary: Madame Mayor.
De Weerd: I did want to introduce this item as we see our reserves preparing to
enter to the war efforts, I thought it was important to reinstate our support of our
National Guard and reserves and contacted Charlie Brown and Max Bearden to
discuss this. You have in your packet the information that they gave us as far as
the statement of support. Now, I did have our, I believe, that they did speak to
our HR director and I believe that we did fall under the three stars as - even
though we do not have the enhanced payor the continuation of company
benefits. Under special recognition we are doing something in conjunction, as
well with the Speedway this weekend. We can have special recognition for our
reserves, soldiers and their families. Right now, we only have one reserve
member on our City staff and so it would certainly be looking forward to when we
might have additional members as well, but with that I will open it up to - are you
Mr. Brown?
Brown: Yes, I am.
De Weerd: Okay. Nice to have you here.
Brown: The Mayor called and asked that we provide her with the opportunity to
sign a statement of support for the City. You mayor may not know, we have
about 152,000 troops that are guard and reserve that are currently involved with
the Iraqi situation either coming or going. Like she says, you may only have one.
We accept statements of support from people who do not have any people who
are in the military and their particular entity. The ESGR - Employer Support for
Guard and Reserve is an arm of the Department of Defense. We serve as an
intermediary with regard to the uniform services, employment and re-employment
rights act, which as you know when you have people like we do in guard and
(
Meridian City Pre-CounCn Meeting
May 11, 2004
Page 16 of 23
reserve and they have military duty they are called and on orders, those types of
things it affects businesses, it affects particularly those people who own and run
their own individual and private businesses. We try to serve, if there are
employees or employers that are having a problem with an employee to take
care of any issue that might be between the employer, employee if they are
having a problem leaving or particularly on return for re-employment. You may
or may not know that you (inaudible) protects the individual who is in the military
service and he has the rights of the same as if he were here for those activities
that he would be entitled to if he was here. With that I would just like to have
Max speak to what we caJl the Three Star Program and let him explain a little
more in detail that part of it. Thank you.
Nary: Thank you.
Bearden: Mayor De Weerd, Councilman Rountree, Councilman Bird,
Councilman Nary, Councilman Wardle thank you very much for having us as
Charlie has indicated we are in a fix and a pickle in our country. Approximately
40 percent of the forces that are in Iraq right now are National Guard or
Reservists. What we are trying to do in Idaho and we have been at the forefront
of it is to rather than have businesses face problems not being aware of the
(inaudible) law and their obligations under the Re-employment Act is to get out
and be proactive so that the management and businesses know what their
employee's rights are and at the same token if-
(Turn over tape)
Bearden: -- should have questions regarding their rights or I think the employee
is abusing those rights, we go in and mediate rather than having it go to the
Department of Labor and one thing or another and that way it keeps everything
down on a low-key basis. ESGR is an arm of the Department of Defense under
the Secretary of Defense for reserve's affairs. We are a volunteer group of
businessmen and former military and housewives also and any other thing along
those lines. There is approximately here in the state of Idaho, we have 125
members that are doing basically what Charlie and I are doing within their
individual communities. Our State Chairman is Kip Modridge. He developed a
program called the Three Star Program. In addition to signing the statement of
support, which you have there, we have developed this Three Star Program and
we would ask that each individual employer display this prominently in their
business letting the public know that they are in support of their members to our
guards and reservists. Not only would we encourage you to put up in City Hall
here, but in the various departments, which you have throughout the Police
Department, Fire Department or wherever and we would also like, if possible,
sign the statement of port. If you could sign the statement and put it with each
department head also, so that we can get the word out of what we do. And the
appreciation we hold for our young men and women, who are making a sacrifice
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
May 11, 2004
Page 17 of 23
for us and it is a big sacrifice. Basically, that's it. If there is any questions I would
be more than happy to answer them.
Nary: Council, any questions?
Bird: I have none.
De Weerd: I don't have any questions. I would like to sign it.
Nary: Council, do you have any direction or anything - concerns. I don't know
that you need a resolution to sign that, unless Mr. Nichols thinks we need that.
don't see why we would, but-
Bird: Mr. President.
Nary: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I think we need to sign it. I don't care if we have (inaudible)-
Wardle: Mr. President.
Nary: Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: I would also like to voice my support for entering into the Three Star
Program; I feel it's important for the City to recognize not only our employees, but
all of the employees that are protecting our country.
Bearden: It does mean a lot to them. It really does, you know? To have a
young person (inaudible) Guard or Reserve (inaudible). Be told that when they
get their orders if they come back they don't have a job; it's just devastating to
them. Believe me, it happens on a not too infrequent basis and Charlie's been all
over the state trying to resolve those issues and letting the people know just
exactly what their obligations are. I also have some fact sheets I would like to
pass out to each one of you if I may, just to let you know what is involved in the
law.
Nary: I guess from what I am hearing, I will take Mr. Wardle's lead and I am
assuming we can consider that to be a request for unanimous consent. That way
we could go ahead and have the Mayor sign the proclamation and the like.
De Weerd: Mr. President.
Nary: Madame Mayor.
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
May 11, 2004
Page 18 of 23
De Weerd: I guess what I would like to do is invite these two gentlemen back
next week and also ask our reservists if he would join us for that signature
ceremony.
Bearden: And would it be all right if we brought our public affairs person by to
take some pictures also?
Bird: You bet.
Nary: Absolutely.
Bearden: Which time would you like us to be here?
Nary: Right now, we would be starting our meeting at 6:00 or do it with the
regular meeting, Mayor?
De Weerd: I would like to do it in the regular meeting where there is a few more
people here.
Bearden: Super.
Nary: So, it will be approximately 7:00, so it will be some time a little after that
and we will try to do it somewhat early on in the meeting.
Bearden: Mayor and Councilmen, thank you so much for the opportunity to
speak with you.
Nary: Thank you.
Bearden: You were saying next week ---
Nary: Next Tuesday night.
Bearden: At 7:00?
Nary: Yes.
De Weerd: If that works for you.
Bearden: Yes, it does.
Nary: Council we are running close to 7:00 and we have got two - well, three
more items. The Area of Impact Action. I don't know who's the person to
discuss that.
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
May 11, 2004
Page 19 of 23
Item 7.
Update on Area of Impact Action:
De Weerd: I guess we - I haven't been able to - I did attend a requested
meeting last night from the County in Star when they had Star and Eagle there to
resolve some of their issues. I have not been able to get a hold of either of the
two county members that were there. Jerry Armstrong, who is the planning
director or Richard Cook. Anna, were you able to get a hold of them?
Powell: No, ma'am.
Nary: Did you think I forgot you?
Powell: No, I was laughing because she was looking at me and I wasn't
(inaudible----) so I was a little worried.
De Weerd: -- (inaudible) on my perspective.
Nary: My recollection was is when we had this previous discussion that there
was some comment period and so we were trying at least to have some
comment and I think we had some of that discussion previous to tonight about
what our comment was to this point, but I didn't know if there was something
else. Any - do you -?
De Weerd: If Anna hasn't been able to talk with their staff, I can give you my
perceptions. So, it looks like Anna wasn't successful either. I did attend and I
did leave early. I left probably about 7:15. There didn't seem to have been much
progress made and so I don't know if anything happened afterwards. The points
J raised were those that we have discussed at Council; that to give it due
diligence to the property owners, that the property owners in choosing if they
were to choose what area of impact they would desire to be in. That's kind of
where it was when I left is there would be - since they couldn't decide among
themselves - it would be to the vote of the property owners. I suggested that the
property owners be given information to make that determination as far as how
much it would cost to serve their piece of property. You know if they decide they
wanted to go to one city and it was four times the cost to be serviced by that
community, I think they need to have that information prior to. I did also talk
about the different taxing entities that do bring services to those and how they
depend on those being kept within their taxing districts and the challenge that
Eagle does provide in kind of chipping away at our Rural Fire District and thusly,
their partnership with us. It also - our Fire District goes to the Boise River. Our
Meridian Library District goes to the bluff and those are two districts that do have
concerns about what would happen if this area was put into a specific city area of
impact. So, they did hear those comments and concerns. There was also
discussion on connectivity; making sure that where those pieces of property are
placed feel connected with the community that they are being added into. Now, I
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
May 11,2004
Page 20 of 23
have heard from some of the bench residents that they feel more connected to
Meridian even though they are in the City of Eagle. So, those are just pieces of
concern that I shared that I would like to see answers to. Indeed, they are going
forward with the public hearing, I believe it's Thursday evening. We may want to
have a representative there just to restate our concerns, if Anna, you find that is
necessary that we are present. So, if you would talk to their planning staff to see
if we have to attend that meeting as well. It was a battle of the attorneys and I
am sorry that I didn't bring mine. But, I didn't know I needed to.
Nary: Gotta love that. Anything else, Council on that or questions for the Mayor?
Rountree: Thanks for the update.
Item 8.
Discussion of Fuaitive Dust Issue:
De Weerd: Mr. President.
Nary: Madame Mayor.
De Weerd: This had been in an email that has been going back and forth
between our staffs, code enforcement, DEQ, my office and then I sent it out to
you and got feedback that we should have it on the agenda here tonight. DEQ
currently doesn't have any plans to work with COMPASS originally to address
this issue. It is a significant problem, in particular with Meridian and all it's
construction that's going on. It does continue to be a source of phone calls and
without very much remedy that we can offer to the residents. They have
suggested that we might look at conditions within our agreements or findings of
facts to control our dust and so I just wanted to open up for your comments and
see what your thoughts are.
Bird: Mr. President.
Nary: Mr. Bird.
Bird: You can probably (inaudible--) I need to ask a question. Does Boise have
the dust abatement ordinance in?
Nary: Yes.
Bird: And it's been pretty successful, hasn't it, Councilman?
Nary: I know we have it - I guess I don't know - I think they have, I mean there
is a full time staff person that that's all he does is address those issues with that.
There is a lot of staff time that's taken up in working with that. I think it's probably
like most programs, like code enforcement ~ any of the code enforcement type of
program that a lot of it is the education early and getting that compliance in
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
May 11, 2004
Page 21 of 23
working with the building contractors and the like. But, I think it has worked
pretty effectively.
Bird: To follow up on that I believe that we need to look at the ordinance. I
believe that we need something in Meridian, but I think it's something that we
need to make sure that the contractors are comfortable with. We don't want to
over step our bounds, but if Boise is having - I know Boise had something like
that and it is a real problem if you are a house next to a new subdivision going in,
it is a major problem and it's something that maybe we can look at and see if we
can't take care of it.
Wardle: Mr. President.
Nary: Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: I would also agree with Councilman Bird that we need some input from
our building community and from those individuals. In my time on the COMPASS
Advisory Committee I have seen some fairly egregious programs for fugitive
dust, some that I think step far over the top of what the intent is and so, I think we
have got some good knowledge out there that we can lean on to help us craft
something that will be good for the community as well as good for our business
community.
Nary: Ms. Powell, do you have any particular thoughts or how we can kind of get
our arms around this particular issue and go forward?
Powell: Well, I guess the issue before was there wasn't a county-wide
(inaudible) and as June Ramsdale said in her email it's - there was a lot of
opposition from the Building Contractors Association and the Board of Realtors.
At that point, COMPASS kind of just threw up their arms in the air figuratively and
they were looking for us to still take ours forward, but were unwilling to even offer
us support for ours as I recall. They wouldn't even go that far to support the
recommendations that we had. I do think that the Boise City spends quite a bit of
time and money enforcing theirs and it's more at the building department level,
it's when you pull the construction permits and, you know, prepping the
entrances before you even get there and sending someone out to enforce it on a
regular basis. Given that we have limited building department staff that would be
an issue there too because that is where the implementation of it would really be
is through those building - the building inspectors as their own site and things
like that. I hadn't thought about it much because the last time the issue came up
it was just kind of dead in the water, so I hadn't put a lot of thought into it in all
honesty at this point. It would be nice to have some support from COMPASS. I
mean, I guess that really surprised me that they weren't even willing to say that
they supported what the City was trying to last time.
De Weerd: Mr. President.
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
May 11, 2004
Page 22 of 23
Nary: Madame Mayor.
De Weerd: I guess I would suggest it is - Boise is under the building department
and in her recommendation that many growing communities around the nation
have included language in the building permit applications have required sites to
be wet down on a regular basis to minimize the dust and that this requirement
can be added locally to control the impact that this has, that perhaps we can ask
Gary to come back with - after contacting the building department in Boise,
finding out what works, what doesn't work, you know, they have had a great
testing site for that and if he feels that he has adequate staff in the building
department at this point to even add such a condition or not.
Nary: Will that work, Mr. Smith?
Smith: (inaudible answer).
Bird: Mr. President.
Nary: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I got a comment. I don't think the building permits - I think it's nice to have
it at that level, but your biggest dust and stuff is when the developer goes in and
starts cutting the roads and the water and the sewer and all that is where you get
the most dust. So, we have got to figure out - I think the building permits is a
nice place to have it on there too, but I guess in the development or findings
would have to be - it would probably be best to be in the findings at that point.
We need to look into it and see if it's legal.
Nary: Sure. So, it sounds like someone has got to come and tell us something
about this in a week or two.
(Inaudible---).
Nary: Does that sound like an okay timetable?
De Weerd: It could be a team effort.
Powell: Mr. President, Madame Mayor, members of the Council I was looking up
the Ada County agenda for Thursday and both the Star area of city impact
amendment are on the agenda as well as the Boise City minor adjustments - the
one to the south that we had talked about with the Rural Fire Commission. So,
they are both on Thursday night, so the Fire Department and I will try and attend.
Nary: Thank you. Mr. Wardle.

Wardle: Mr. President just to clarify real quick is what I heard is Mr. Smith is
going to look at how Boise's is operating and to bring that back as, in my opinion,
as a first step before we go out and ask our building community what they think.
Is that everyone's --?
De Weerd: Yep.
Bird: That's my opinion.
Nary: Item 9 is an Executive Session and Council since we are at a late hour for
the Pre-Council and we could start the meeting and we could move that to the
regular agenda rather than going into Executive Session now.
Bird: I move that we move it to Item No. 15 when we do the agenda.
Wardle: Second.
Bird: With that, Mr. President, I move that we adjourn the Pre-Council meeting.

hour shift, he/she would be paid for ten (10) hours of holiday plus ten (10)
hours of straight time pay, for a total of twenty (20) hours of pay.
V. HOLIDAY AND LEAVE STATUS
Employees who are on leave status (vacation, sick, personal, worker's
compensation, military duty, FMLA, etc.) are not eligible for additional holiday
pay. For example, if an employee is on vacation leave during the week of
December 23 through December 27, that employee's pay would reflect four (4)
days of vacation leave and one (1) day of holiday pay. Holidays falling within
approved leave time will not be counted as part of the leave time.
VI. BARGAINING UNIT EMPLOYEES
Holiday leave for bargaining unit employees shall be governed by the provisions
of the bargaining agreement. Represented employees shall reference the current
labor agreement for related information.

Re: Surplus Real Property - Thousand Springs Subd. No.5
City of Meridian
City Clerk Office
Mayor.
The City requested as a condition of subdivision approval, and received, from the
developer of Thousand Springs Subdivision No.5. a small irregular shaped lot (shown
as Lot 63, Block 14 on the attached copy of the plat} for the purpose of locating a
future pressure booster pump station for our domestic water system. It has now
been determined that we will never use this parcel for its intended purpose and an
adjacent property owner has expressed interest in obtaining it. At this time It is 0
maintenance problem for us in terms of weed control and we would like to dispose
of it for that reason.
An Inquiry was made of our City Attomey as to the process for disposal. He relates
the following, in occord with state statutes:
1. Submit the request to you for your approval and discuss it with our
department liaison.
2. Assign a minimum value to the property. Council may want an appraisal
unless other information is available to support its value. The Council will need
to declare a minimum value, on the record, at
a Counal meeting.
Fromlhe desk of..,
3. City Clerk publishes a summary of Council
action and a hearing is held on the sale.

4. A public auction is held for the sale of the property and if no bids are
received equal to or above the minimum declared value, the City can sell it
without further auctions.
Therefore, this memo is written to request your approval to dispose of this surplus real
property. With your approval, we will proceed to obtain a value of this parcel and
bring that back to Ciiy Council for further action.
Thank you,

Hi Mayor deWeerd,
DEQ does not currently have any plans to work with COMPASS to pass valleywide dust control
ordinances. It is my understanding that when COMPASS worked on that issue previously they
were met with resistance from the Association of General Contractors and the Building
Contractors Association.
Fugitive dust is a significant problem in areas where there is an excessive amount of
construction taking place, such as in Meridian. As the "air quality authority" DEQ does
have the ability to act upon validated complaints regarding construction dust as per IDAPA
58.01.01.650-651, as Tom Krinke stated in his earlier email. There is no requirement for a
construction site to control their dust and DEQ cannot act until the problem has occurred
and the community has already been impacted.
Many growing communities around the nation have included language in building permit
applications that require, for example, sites to be wet down regularly to minimize dust.
By adding this requirement the city can locally control the impact those construction
companies have on residents before dust becomes a problem.
DEQ's Boise Regional Office has already been receiving higher than normal amounts of
complaints about dust this year due to the dry spring our area has been experiencing.
Although we understand that Meridian has no requirement to take any actions to deal with
construction dust we feel that addressing this problem is very important. DEQ would
welcome the opportunity to work with the city on any action they may decide to undertake
to solve this air quality problem.
If you would like to discuss this issue further please feel free to call me at 373-0493.
Sincerely,
June Ramsdell

Re: Opposition to Future Adjustments of Boise City Area ofImpact Boundaries
The Meridian Rural Fire Protection District (MRFPD) specifically opposes the removal of the
Rockhampton Subdivision and any future adjustments of the Area ofImpact Boundaries. The MRFPD
and the City of Meridian have been working very hard to plan for the future needs of our residents. The
rapid growth within the Meridian Fire Department has just completed the construction and staffing of Fire
Station 3 in December of2003. The City of Meridian and the Meridian Rural Fire Protection District have
Master Planned and acquired sites for future fire stations 4 and 5. Station 4 is planned for construction in
the next budget year. It will be located on Eagle Road at the Ridenbaugh Canal to service the residents in
the southeast corner of the City and Rural District. The site for fire station 5 is on Linder Road 1;4 mile
south of Chin den Boulevard. We are currently searching for a site for fire station 6 along the Meridian
Road Corridor south ofI-84.
It is a difficult task to plan, finance, and staff fire stations ina rapidly growing community like Meridian.
This difficult task is made even more complex when the footprint ofthe district changes unexpectedly and
we lose our tax base which we have projected to construct and operate our facilities. This matter has to be
carefully considered when it costs $975,000.00 to construct a fire station, $475,000.00 to purchase a fire
engine and $675,000.00 per year to staff the facility.
Accordingly, the Meridian Rural Fire Protection District opposes the removal of the Rockhampton
Subdivision from our taxing district and any future change in the Area ofImpact boundaries.

i(~~

Ada County Commissioners

Second Floor
Boise, ill 83702
City of Meridian
City Clerk Office
Dear Commissioners:
This letter is in response to the requests by the City of Eagle and the City of Star to
expand their areas of city impact. We would have preferred to remain neutral; however,
this does cause concern. Idaho Code Section 67-6526(b) says that the Ada County
Commissioners should consider three factors in defining an area of city impact: (1) trade
area; (2) geographic factors; and (3) areas that can reasonably be expected to be annexed
to the city in the future.
Both cities have included properties on the north side of Chinden Boulevard in their
requests. The City of Meridian strongly believes that the area bounded by Chinden
Boulevard and the bluff between the existing Eagle city limits and McDermott Road
should remain outside of any area of city impact at this time. We do not believe that
either city can positively meet the three factors as set forth in Idaho Code.
Meridian City Council has had a preliminary discussion and believes if the subject area is
placed in an area of city impact, it should be in Meridian. As a Planning Commissioner,
Council Member, and now Mayor, I have had many conversations with the property
owners in the subject area. They have repeatedly expressed that they view themselves as
part of the Meridian community. These citizens are within the Meridian Rural Fire
District, the Meridian School District, and the Meridian Library District. The bluff
provides a geographic definition to the area, and the City of Meridian is positioned to
annex and service up to the bluff in the future.
This area is also a logical extension of our sewer and water facilities. Conversely, in
order to cross a sewer line over the Boise River, both Eagle and Star will be faced with
extraordinary engineering and arduous permitting processes, including state and federal
agencies. This will make annexation difficult for both cities. Already, we have been
approached by developers wanting to build in the Eagle area of impact asking Meridian
to provide sewer to their projects.
Furthennore, the Meridian Rural Fire Commission expended significant funds in building
the Locust Grove Fire Station to serve the subject area and a parcel on Linder just south
of Chin den has been secured for a future substation. As you know, the City of Meridian

Fire Department and the Meridian Rural Fire District share personnel and resources. The
Meridian City Council and Meridian Rural Fire District Commissioners are meeting on
April 27, 2004 to further discuss this issue. After that meeting, we will provide a second
letter further detailing our collective concerns.
In summary, we do not believe the subject area should be included in any area of city
impact at this time. However, should the County Commissioners feel it is appropriate to
define ultimate city limits for the area, we feel it should be included in the Meridian Area
of City Impact.

Mayor Tammy de Weerd
De Weerd: Okay. I will go ahead and call the City Council regular meeting to order. It's
Tuesday, May 11th. It is 7:25 and I'd like to welcome you all here with us tonight. I will
start with roll call attendance.
Item 2:
Pledge of Allegiance:
De Weerd: Item NO.2 is the Pledge of Allegiance. If you will, please, stand and join us
in the pledge.
(Pledge of Allegiance recited.)
Item 3:
Community Invocation by Pastor Stan Kelly with Capital Christian
Center:
De Weerd: Thank you so much. Item No.3, our community invocation, will be led by
Pastor Stan Kelly with the Capital Christian Church. Thank you for joining us.
Kelly: Thank you, Mayor, and City Council. I'll set a good example by being brief. Lees
pray. Lord, we thank you for this beautiful place called Meridian, Idaho. We thank you
that you would bless these discussions that take place tonight. Lord, we ask that you
would give, Lord, the Council wisdom, you would give them discernment, and that you
would give them consensus. Oh, Lord, we ask one more thing. We could really use
that civic recreation center, so would you help us with that. We ask these things in your
precious name, amen.
Item 4:
Adoption of the Agenda:
Meridian City Council Meeting
May 11,2004
Page 2 of 20
De Weerd: That was a shameless plug, I might add. We do appreciate the partnership
we have had with the faith community in attending the luncheon that we held in January
to start the dialogue. We feel it's very important to enter into a partnership with the faith
community and that all of our religious beliefs are represented at the table to bring
multiple solutions to many of the issues that face our community. So, we appreciate
your attendance here tonight and leading us off with such optimistic vision. Okay. Item
No.4 is adoption of the agenda and I would like to request to Council to add a Mayor's
report to follow up on the items that I discussed last week and told you l'd come back
and report on this week.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: On the agenda under Consent, Items G and H, has been requested to be pulled.
We had 6-A for Public Works under Department Reports, 6-B, the Mayor's Office
Report. And under the regular, 12, 13, and 14 has been asked to be continued to May
25th, 2004. Item 15 is an Executive Session per Idaho Code 67-2345(1)(f). And with
that I move that we approve the revised agenda.
Rountree: Second.
Powell: Madam Mayor, excuse me. To the maker of the motion, Item H did not need to
be withdrawn from the Consent Agenda. And I did have a chance to talk to the
applicant regarding Items 12, 13, and 14. He said a month would be okay, if you'd
rather do a month.
Bird: You're right. And back to -- if the second will agree, Item H -- just Item G that we
are going to pull from the Consent Agenda. Item H stays, which --
Rountree: I agree.
Bird: -- will clarify that. And we will still keep the continued to May 25th on the other.
Powell: Okay.
De Weerd: Okay. It's been moved and seconded to adopt the agenda as amended.
Any further discussion? All those in favor say aye. All ayes: Motion carried.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.

Bird: I move we approve the Consent Agenda, with the exception of Item G being

De Weerd: Mr. Nichols.
Nichols: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, with the letter from Schmeckpepers
withdrawing their rezone application, do you want me to prepare an order accepting
withdrawal of the application, like we have on the others?
De Weerd: I think that Item G was to discuss that. Is that why you pulled it?
Bird: No, we just pulled it to get it off. That's what they requested. They just pulled it.
And do we need an order?
Meridian City Council Meeting

Page 5 of20
Powell: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, Messrs. Schmeckpeper have asked
that they be allowed to withdraw the applications and, hence, that's what Mr. Nichols is
asking about. Do you want to have him draft up an order accepting the withdrawal?
Item 6:
Department Reports:
A: Public Works.
De Weerd: Well, Mr. Nichols, I imagine, since you suggested it, it must be needed. So,
yes, please. Okay. Item 6. We will have our Public Works Department.
Watson: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Council Members. And I apologize for not getting
this on by the deadline last Thursday. This was a situation where a series of events
happened that the contractor was out on site starting to install some sewer or water and
the license agreement with Nampa-Meridian, the developer, and the city, had not been
approved by this body yet, so they were out there -- I think they still have equipment on
site. I'm sure they do. This is a typical three party license agreement with
Nampa-Meridian Irrigation District. I reviewed it and it's, essentially, the same as every
other agreement that you have approved, other than the site and the developer. So, I
appreciate your approval on this tonight.
De Weerd: Is there any questions from Council? Okay. Do we have a motion?
Wardle: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: I move that we approve the three-party license agreement with
Nampa-Meridian Irrigation District, Finch Lateral Sewer and Water Crossing, received
May 30th, 2004 -- or, excuse me, May 11th.
Nary: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. It's been moved and seconded to approve the agreement by Public
Works. Is there any further discussion? Mr. Clerk, will you call roll.
Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Wardle, yea; Nary, yea.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
B: Mayor's Office Report.
De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. For my report I had talked with you last week about the
summer intern program, the value statements, and an economic development position.
You should have in front of you -- I did e-mail to all of staff and Council our statements
for our values of customer service, accountability, respect, excellence, which spells
Meridian City Council Meeting
May 11,2004
Page 6 of20
CARE, and would like to have that accepted. Since I did not get any comments back, I
thought you might not have any questions.
Rountree: I had none.
Nary: I have none.
De Weerd: Okay. Are you okay with the statements that support each of those values?
Bird: You bet.
Rountree: Do you need a motion or--
Bird: Do you need a motion?
De Weerd: With the Mission Statement, I believe that we had a resolution adopting
those. Mr. Nichols, would that be advisable?
Nichols: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I thought we had prepared a
resolution to adopt those and, then, forwarded that already.
De Weerd: Oh, for these statements?
Nichols: Not for the CARE statements. Excuse me. That was the mission and vision.
Excuse me.
De Weerd: Yes. We had those. Do we need one for these as well?
Nichols: I think if you're going to make it policy, that would be the best way to do and so
we will prepare --
De Weerd: Okay. Well, that would be my suggestion to Council.
Nary: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I guess, then, I would move that we bring forward a resolution adopting those
CARE statements as policy of the city.
Wardle: Second.
De Weerd: It's been moved and seconded to draw up a resolution accepting the
statements for our values. All those in favor? All ayes. Motion carried.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.

Meridian City Council Meeting
May 11,2004
Page 7 of 20
De Weerd: I do want to invite you all and remind City Council of our ribbon cutting
ceremony and open house at Fire Station No.3. It is this Saturday at 11 :00 a.m. on the
fire station on Locust Grove at 3545 North Locust Grove. Okay. You have in front of
you the intern program that Councilman Nary had brought up several weeks ago and it
details out which department would like to utilize interns and what that cost -- that
associated cost would be, what is in each individual department's budget. Those that
are not budgeted for come to an estimate of 11,960 dollars.
Nary: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I guess I'm a little confused. This program that we talked about a couple of
weeks ago, I guess isn't what I'm reading on this statement. I think what I had
envisioned was a little bit different and let me just backtrack for a second. What we had
talked about was, essentially -- there were interns that we use in different departments,
they are already funded, there is a few of these that are on here that are already funded
and that wasn't what I was looking to mess with. I recognize there are specific needs in
some departments for specific expertise of interns, whether they be college students or
the like for that. What I was talking about was a program that would provide some
connection between Meridian students, either high school students, or Meridian college
students, and for varieties of other types of tasks that didn't necessary deal with specific
expertise. What I guess I was hoping for or anticipating was similar to what the first
paragraph here for Planning and Zoning was -- is a high school student, 100 hours, six
dollars an hour, possibly a second one. So, essentially, a 600-dollar cost for a summer
intern of a high school student. The intern one in the IT paragraph doesn't tell me if
that's a student from Meridian or from somewhere else. The Public Works wants the
same thing. The police department already has a program. Parks and Recreation
already has a program, it's already funded, it doesn't tell me where this student normally
would be -- it says he goes to U of I. It doesn't say where he comes from otherwise.
And for your office, since you advertise at the colleges for these positions -- and, again,
I don't know if these students are Meridian citizens. And maybe I wasn't clear or maybe
-- again we are talking about two different things, but we also talked about a cost of
around five or six thousand dollars and this is for almost 12,000 dollars. So, I guess I'm
a little confused. It wasn't what I was thinking we were talking about a few weeks ago. I
think it's a little different. I'm not saying it's bad, it just wasn't what we were talking
about.
De Weerd: Well, Mr. Nary, it is -- for the criteria that you set out, we didn't think we had
to reemphasize it in this piece of paper, but that is the criteria you talked about, that is
what we would be looking at, and when they were at the college fairs this was just to
indicate an interest at that time, not for anything specific, but if we were to develop a
program in the future what -- would there be interest by the area schools that we do
have. We do have a number of Meridian residences, both college students and high
schools, that have indicated an interest and certainly once this past discussion, the HR
Meridian City Council Meeting
May 11,2004
Page 8 of20
department can get a hold of the local high schools and see what the interests are. You
did ask -- you did set a parameter on the salary or the amount, but you did say who
would have interest and so each of those submitted what they would have an interest in,
what they could utilize, and it's now yours to do with what you would like to.
Nary: Ah.
Wardle: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: And I appreciate that and also I'm sensitive to the cost estimate or the cost
comfort level that the Council had before. What I don't see on here -- and I understand
this is a rough draft. What I don't see is specific -- essentially, a job description for this
internship how those people would be measured and how this would benefit their
education and their practical experience and I understand those things need to come,
but I'm -- as far as Planning and Zoning student for data entry, who would supervise that
individual? How would they be -- how would their training affect staff's time, all those
kinds of things that I think are important and I think this is an important program, but I
think it needs reworked a little bit, as far as the -- our operating procedures internally. I
don't think that we can just jump into it and I guess give it a whirl. I don't want to
adversely affect anyone's education.
De Weerd: Well, Mr. Wardle, it would -- we can get further detail, but those specifics
werentt generally asked for, it was, first, if there is a need and this is a response to that
question. We can certainly bring back more detailed information. There is a job
description for mine and that's been on file with the HR department for a couple of
months and so certainly -- and I believe that I had sent out a copy of that to each
Council member when they submitted it to HR. So, you have seen those. We can bring
further detail back on the other ones. It also depends on whom we get in the position.
If they need college credit, it has different criteria than if it's for salary. So, we would
also have to look at what students we would be looking at for the particular position on
what the exact criteria in tracking would be. So, I don't know how to wrap my arms
around that, but I certainly will tell HR that further information is needed and she can
certainly come back with you next week and provide more detail.
Rountree: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: I think you have accomplished what you set out to do that demonstrates
there is a need for the intern program. The real fundamental question I have are these
extensions of cost per hour for hours worked. I would guess that in terms they are no
different than any other employee in terms of benefits and those sorts of things, at least
Social Security and some fundamental other costs to -- from employment. So, we have
doubled our anticipated amount for the program and I think there is yet some other cost
Meridian City Council Meeting
May I I, 2004

to the program if we were to implement this one. So, I don't think extension of hourly
costs are realistic. But I think the program is needed, so we have to determine what --
what budget level we are going to dedicate to the program. But I guess this is a
question for Pauline or somebody. Do we have to pay Social Security? Do we have to
pay some other basic benefits to these empJoyees? Unless we are contracting with the
school for them to provide the interns and simply pay a fee, which is another approach
to an interpret program.
De Weerd: And that was discussed as well, as more of a stipend. As you can see in
the police department, they were looking more for a stipend than a salary, I believe. Is
that correct, chief?
Musser: That's correct, Madam Mayor. Also, for Members of the Council in regards to
Councilman Rountree's question, the stipend traditionally is considered a contractual
type of a payment agreement, from my understanding, which means that we wouldn't
necessarily be responsible for the FICA or federal tax withholdings. Technically, they
could receive that information and we can track it in the form of a W-9 and that W-9 puts
the responsibility on them to report it and so include it with their -- with their own tax
reports. So, we do have some access there and it would help us and narrow those
numbers down significantly.
De Weerd: But we can bring that information back again next week.
Nary: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Nary.
Nary: Thank you for clarifying, too. I mean I would agree with Councilman Rountree. I
mean I think the departments have shown there is a need and I would anticipate, like
Councilman Wardle's request, that there would be viable work and they would have all
of those other things he said and so I think just some of the costs things is really all we
need, then, going forward, since all the other criteria has been met, that's fine.
De Weerd: Okay. So, next week we can bring back a total cost. Do you want to set up
parameters to bring that back with, so we can whittle that down?
Nary: By parameter, you mean how much funding --
De Weerd: Yes.
Nary: I guess I'm still -- J'm still of the mind set of five or six thousand dollars, unless --
again, some of these are for two, you know, maybe there is only one this year. You
know, see how the program works and if the Council certainly, I guess, wants to go up
as high as 10 or 12 thousand dollars, it can, and I mean if there is money there, but I
think it's -- I think right now I'd still want to stick somewhere in that five or six thousand
dollar range to at least see how this gets off the ground.

Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I would agree with Councilman Nary on the fact that this is the first year and I
would like to -- you know, I'm sure it's going to be very, very successful, but there is also
the chance it might not be successful. So, I would like to stay with the five, six thousand
dollars this year, and let's get it -- the program set up and, then, from year to year we
can grow it as we see fit.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you. Okay. The following item is on the economic
development coordinator. And if you haven't had time to look at this, certainly we can
hold it over until next week.
Bird: I would prefer that, Madam Mayor.
Item 7:
(Items Moved from Consent Agenda)
Item 8:
FP 04-029 Request for Final Plat approval for re-plat of Troutner Park
Subdivision Lots 4-5 and 10-15, Block 2; Lots 1-3 and 5-8, Block 3; Block
4; and Lot 3, Block 5 consisting of six commercial building lots and one
common lot on 17.26 acres in a C-G zone for Troutner Park Subdivision
NO.2 by Mary Ballantyne - west of North Meridian Road and south of
West Franklin Road:
De Weerd: Okay. Okay. Item 8 is FP 04-029. Start with staff comments.
Powell: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, this is the final plat for Troutner Park
Subdivision No.2. You will recall this came through -- they are primarily consolidating a
number of lots for the West Boise RV Park and they have gotten their final vacation
approvals from the Ada County Highway District and I have now submitted the final plat.
It is in substantial compliance with the approved preliminary plat and staff is
recommending approval and I have talked to Mr. Ericson of Keller and Associates and
he indicated that the applicant was in agreement with the conditions of approval and I'm
getting a nod from Mr. Ballentyne as well, so I believe that all issues have been
resolved.
De Weerd: Thank you. Any questions for staff?
Bird: I have none.
Rountree: I have none.
Wardle: Madam Mayor?

Gemtone Center Subdivision No.5 by Engineering Solutions, LLP -
west of North Eagle Road and south of East Fairview Avenue:
De Weerd: Thank you. Item 9 is TE 04-001.
Powell: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, this is a time extension for the
Gemtone Plat. I have showed the vicinity map, just because it's kind of an odd parcel
and it's helpful to see how it relates. It does connect and extend Pine Avenue to its
west property boundary as shown here. They are -- the applicant's statement says they
are nearing completion and that instead of bonding, they wanted to get a time extension
on the plat and staff has reviewed it and it's recommending approval of the one-year
time extension.
De Weerd: Okay. Council, do you have any questions?
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Hearing no comments, I would move that we approve TE 04-001 time extension
for a period of one year to May 1 st, 2005.
Rountree: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. It's been moved and seconded to approve Item NO.9 to May 1 st,

Item 10: Public Hearing: PFP 04-001 Request for Preliminary Final Plat approval
for 3 residential building lots and 1 common lot on .73 acre in an R-15
zone for Troy Place Subdivision by PPN, LLC - 1236 East 2 % Street:
Item 11:
Public Hearing: CUP 04-003 Request for a Conditional Use Permit for a
Planned Development to allow for a multi-family development consisting of
1 tri-plex and 2 four-plexes with reduced street frontage, setbacks and
minimum lot width requirements in an R-15 zone for Troy Place
Subdivision by PPN, LLC - 1236 East 2 % Street:
De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. Items 9 and 10 are for applications PF 04-001 and CUP
04-003 for Troy Place Subdivision. I'll open the Public Hearing with staff comments.
Powell: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, this area is just north of -- kind of the
downtown core and it's on East 2 1/2 Street, as shown there. There is a beauty salon to
the south of the property and a single-family residence to the north. The kind of interior
of this block is largely vacant, as you can see. There are some single-family homes
down here that back -- their lots back onto this property, but the homes are quite a
distance away. The applicant has brought forward a combined preliminary and final
plat. The plat is necessary to put each apartment building on its own lot and, then,
there is one common lot that holds the drive aisles and the parking lots and they are
seeking a Conditional Use Permit, they are seeking approval of one triplex, which they
have actually already gotten approved through the City Council and, then, two additional
four-plex units at the east end of the site. One here and one here. They would all take
access from this internal drive. It's a 25-foot wide drive that comes up through the
property and, then, there is an approved turnaround at this location. Then, they'd come
back out. Actually, the approved turnaround is here. Sorry. There is a basketball court
and a picnic area included on the site as part of the PO application. The area is
currently designated as high density residential on the Comprehensive Land Map Plan
and this is -- complies with that designation. Their overall density is 15-units to the acre.
They have requested a number of setbacks and it always gets difficult to determine
what's the appropriate front, side, and rear setbacks on these ones where there really --
the lots are just accommodating the buildings, but they face a different way. The
existing setback here, I believe, is six feet, so that would remain. They are proposing, I
believe, nine feet in this location. And, then, this -- can't read that dimension. That
appears to be about 14 and one half feet, almost nearly 15 feet along the eastern
boundary. I believe you also received a copy of a revised landscape plan. Mr. Hood
did have a number of revisions that he required them to do in the landscape plan. ]t
appears that they have met most of them. You will see a number of additional trees,
particularly along the north boundary and the south boundary and the east boundary. It
would appear that the landscape plan addresses those, but the timing of that was not
stated, so I'll let Mr. Hood review that tomorrow. At the Planning and Zoning
Commission they did hold a hearing on March 18th and they have recommended
approval of this application with conditions. The applicant's representative Shawn
Nickel testified in favor of the application. Two members of the public testified
expressing concerns about the proposed development. The key issues of discussion
Meridian City Council Meeting
May 11, 2004
Page 13 of 20
and questioning by Commission included the open space requirements, both private
and common, and landscaping adjacent to the single-family homes to the north. The
two-story building backing up to the single family home to the south and let me show
you that. It was -- the two people that testified were the homeowner here, which Mr.
Palmer has worked very closely with to meet their needs and, then, the other testimony
came from this property owner here and there is -- there is their house. The road
capacity concerns on 2 1/2 Street and irrigation water and drainage runoff were the
other items of discussion. The Commission made no major modifications to staff
recommendations. They did add some additional landscaping to the north and required
some landscaping in the long aisle of parking spaces in this location and some
additional no parking signage and approval of the revised site plan, if it was approved
by the fire department. Previously they had -- these three parking spaces went out --
extended out along here. It brought them to about -- the final one was about here,
which exceeded the 150-foot requirement of the fire department, so they flipped them
around to this side and it now meets the fire department standards. There appeared to
be no outstanding issues before the City Council regarding this application. I do have
some pictures of the site. This is the existing triplex. This is the salon to the south. I
don't have the elevations. I'm sorry. The elevations for the department dwellings were
fairly attractive. I can find them and put them on the overhead. I'm sorry. Sorry I can't
get the lights brighter. That is the elevation for the apartment dwellings. They are fairly
typical ones. The stairwell comes up the center and there is a small landing and, then,
they do have balconies. I believe one of the discussions at the Planning and Zoning
Commission was the 100 square feet of private usable open space and, as I recall, this
application did meet that 100 square feet requirement. I think I will end staff's testimony
there.
De Weerd: Are you done?
Powell: Yes.
De Weerd: I'm sorry. Is there any questions for staff? Okay. Hearing no further -- or
any questions for staff, is the applicant here?
Nickel: Did you get lulled?
De Weerd: Is the testimony you provide tonight the truth, the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth, so help you God?
Nickel: It is.
De Weerd: Thank you. Please state your name and address.
Nickel: Thank you, Madam Mayor. Shawn Nickel, 52 North 2nd Street in Eagle. I
appreciate the time this evening. I'm going to be very brief. As you can tell, we have
worked very hard with your staff, your Planning and Zoning Commission, the fire
department, and also with the neighbors in trying to bring forward an appropriate PO
Meridian City Council Meeting
May 11,2004
Page 14 of20
application. I think we have a nice in-fill for this property. It meets the intent of what
your Comprehensive Plan calls for in this area. Again, as I stated, we did meet with the
neighbor to the north who had concerns regarding fencing and landscaping and Paul
will get up in a couple minutes and he will express some concerns and explain to you
how we are going to work those out with him. The other neighbor that spoke at the P&Z
who Anna pointed out lived to the south, was concerned about the two-story structure.
As you can see from that aerial, he's quite a distance from the north -- from his north
property line, our south property line. In addition, there are a lot of -- and I have got a
picture here I can give to Anna or I could show you, I guess. This is our south
boundary.
Powell: You need to give them to me, Shawn. Excuse me. Mr. Nickel.
Nickel: Okay. As Anna puts those up there, you can see that our southern boundary is
lined with a lot of deciduous trees, both on our property and the property to the south
and so I think that's going to provide that gentleman with a nice buffer in the
summertime for views of that two story and I think he was concerned about the
balconies that were facing out there and, again, those will be screened by those trees,
which propose to retain the majority of those. Again, we have no objection to any of the
proposed conditions of approval and I will stand for any questions you have.
De Weerd: Council, any questions?
Bird: I have none, Mayor.
De Weerd: Thank you, Shawn.
Nickel: Thank you very much.
De Weerd: Okay. I have a person signed up here that didn't print. I think it's Troy
Palmer. I thought maybe it was Troy Place. If you would like to come forward. Did you
want to provide testimony? Okay. Is there anyone else who would like to provide
testimony? Okay. Thank you. We will get -- I will ask that you be sworn in. Is the
testimony you provide tonight the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so
help you God?
Stevens: Yes, I do.
De Weerd: Thank you. Please state your name and address.
Stevens: Tom Stevens and I live at 1304 East 2 1/2. I live on the property just north of
the Palmer place.
De Weerd: Thank you, Mr. Stevens.
Meridian City Council Meeting
May 11,2004
Page 15 of20
Stevens: Madam Mayor and Members of the Council, I have talked with Mr. Palmer and
we talked today about the -- again, the fence and the buffers between our place. I think
that we won't have any problems as far as the fence and the landscaping between the
two properties. The only problem that -- I don't know if it's really a problem, it's just
finding out the actual pin placement of the property between our two places. I was
looking at my property deed the other day and it's approximately about -- about a foot
away from the fire hydrant that you see on that picture right there and when the
surveyor came out he put a stake in about six inches from the edge of the right track of
where my van is, so it's something that we just need to address to find out exactly
where that pin placement is. They said there is a pin out in the middle of the road and
that's straight away from the pin that's supposed to be on my property, so that's the only
thing I feel that needs to be addressed as far any matters between Troy's place and my
place.
De Weerd: Okay. Well, thank you. Council, do you have any questions?
Bird: I have none.
De Weerd: Thank you very much. Okay. Is there anyone else who would like to
provide testimony on this application? Okay. Mr. Nickel.
Nickel: Thank you, Madam Mayor. Again, Shawn Nickel. As Tom did state, we are
going to work with Tom and I'm going to get my surveyor back out there to make sure
that we have surveyed that in the right place. It's a discrepancy of about a foot. Staff
has given us some flexibility on where to locate our landscaping and our fence to make
sure -- what Tom's main concern is, is when he pulls his van in that he has plenty of
room to get out, which is -- it's a good concern and we are going to work with him to
make sure that he's happy with what we do and staff has given us that flexibility to work
with that, so --
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you. Any questions from Council? Okay. Thank you very
much. Okay. Council -- is there any further testimony? Hearing none, do I have a
motion to close the Public Hearing?
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I move we close the Public Hearing on Items 10 and 11.
Rountree: Second.

The subject Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Decision and Order were
tabled to your May 11 Consent Agenda to allow staff time to review the final
documents. The CUP (03-058) appears clean. The following modifications are
recommended for more clarity and accuracy in the Preliminary Plat and Annexation
& Zoning documents:
AZ-03-027
· #3, pg. 6, 3rd line - The correct number of buildable lots is 432, not 433.
· #8, pg. 7, 1Slline - Strike ". . .v:hich will oome in up in Ph::lse 10." (This access
road is intended to be used for a new residence earlier than Phase 10.)
· #8, pg. 7, 2nd para, 3rd line - Strike ". . .other 3CCeSG," so it reads ". . .residence
obtains other public access. . ."
(NOTE: These same edits/changes appear in PP-03-032.)
PP-03-032
· #17, pg.11 - Add a new paragraph to the end of condition #17 which is the
condition #8 from AZ-03-027 pertaining to Mr. Brian McColl's language on the
secondary access. (This is simply to keep consistency between the annexation
and pre plat approval documents.)
· Item "G", pg. 17 - Strike the Parks Department comment about the pathway "not
connecting through the development." The revised plan shows the pathway
extending aU the way through.
· #4, pg. 18 - Add the phrase "See the attached exhibit" to the end of this
paragraph and have the Attorney/Clerk attach the re-subdivision plan as an
exhibit.
With the above edits, staff recommends the final documents be adopted.

PAGE 2 OF 22
5. The property is presently zoned RUT (Ada County), and consists of a single-
family residence and vacant land.
6. The Applicant requests the property be zoned as R-4 (Low Density Residential).
7. The subject property is surrounded by the following properties and uses:
North: Two, 10-acre parcels with single family residences and a 22.95-acre parcel
with a single family residence, all zoned RUT (Ada Co.)

the Meridian City Clerk's office.
12. 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:
A. Adopt the Special Recommendations of the Planning and Zoning Commission as follows:
L Add a new condition to the Development Agreement (paragraph La.) which states: "No
more than 50 homes can be built until both the North Slough Trunk and a second
emergency access, constructed to the satisfaction of the Meridian Fire Department, are
built."
2. Add a new condition to the Development Agreement (paragraph 1.b.) which states: "No
more than 236 building permits will be issued until a second public access is available,
either connecting to a platted stub street or the temporary use of the easement currently
enjoyed by the Boyacks. If the latter is the choice, it will be paved and at least 20 feet
wide."
3. Add a new condition to the Development Agreement (paragraph Lc.) which includes the
following language, (Per City Council meeting April 20, 2004.):
"There shall be a hold harmless agreement executed by the Applicant in favor ofthe City
of Meridian that the Applicant will hold the City harmless from any and all damages for
any failure to provide sanitary sewer service until it is available in the ordinary course of
the City's sewer development program. Applicant agrees that by mmexing this property,
City is under no obligation to provide sewer services to the property on the Applicant's
timetable. No subdivision improvements beyond Phase 1 (that southerly portion of
Saguaro Canyon Estates which will gravity flow to the lift station in Cobre Basin
Subdivision) can begin until the North Slough Sewer Trunk's easements are finalized by
the City and the trunk construction schedule is finalized with the civil contractor that is
awarded the bid."
B. Adopt the Recommendations of the Meridian Planning & Zoning Department as follows:
1. The applicant/owners shall enter into a Development Agreement (DA) with the City of
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
AND DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION
FOR ANNEXATION AND ZONING SAGUARO CANYON ESTATES SUBDNISION
(AZ-03-027)
PAGE 4 OF 22
Meridian. A condition of the DA shall be that the applicant participates in any road
infrastructure agreements in the North Meridian Planning Area negotiated with ACHD and
shall faithfully perfonn the terms of such agreement or agreements.
2. Any existing domestic wells and/or septic systems within this project will have to be
removed 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.
3. All irrigation ditches, laterals or canals, exclusive of natural waterways, intersecting,
crossing or lying adjacent and contiguous to the parcel shall be tiled per City Ordinance
12-4-13. Plans will need to be approved by the appropriate irrigation/drainage district, or
lateral users association (ditch owners), with written approval or non-approval submitted
to the Public Works Department. Iflateral users association approval can't be obtained,
plans will be reviewed and approved by the Meridian City Engineer prior to final plat
signature.
4. Any future subdivision, planned development, uses and construction shall comply with the
City of Meridian ordinances in effect at the time.
C. Adopt the ACHD conditions listed in their report dated November 13, 2004, which report
lists required site-specific requirements, conditions of approval and street improvements.
D. Adopt the action of the City Council taken at their Apri120, 2004 meeting as follows:
For clarification:
1. Placed into record, and which is on file with the Meridian City Clerk's office, is the
Letter of Approval and Acceptance from Grant and Joyce Lee, dated April 20, 2004.
2. The Applicant, Farwest, LLC, per their letter dated January 6,2004, pertaining to
Larkwood/Saguaro Canyon Agreements, agrees to provide the following:
a. A 25' height restriction (measurement at the peak, to allow for a second
story bonus room only) on 4 lots in the Saguaro Canyon Subdivision along
the Larkwood boundary (Lots 26, 41, 43 and 44, Block 9).
b. To construct a vinyl fence with l' lattice on the top along the Larkwood
west boundary.
c. The Applicant has cut and reworked the lots on the original submittal from
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
AND DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION
FOR ANNEXATION AND ZONING SAGUARO CANYON ESTATES SUBDIVISION
(AZ-03-027)
PAGE 5 OF 22
27 buildable lots to 20 buildable lots in the latest plat. The 20 buildable lots
remaining on the Larkwood boundary average 13,268 square feet. These 20
lots are an average of 42.85% larger than the average lot in Saguaro
Canyon.
d. Tile the North Slough, North Slough #2 and the Rosti Laterals. Farwest,
LLC will also tile any of the above mentioned ditches adjacent to the
Larkwood west boundary regardless of their minor meandering across the
legal lot lines.
e. Provide a pressurized irrigation stub to each ofthe Larkwood lots adjoining
Saguaro Canyon, providing the Larkwood homeowners transfer sufficient
water rights to the pump station diversion point to provide for these stubs.
3. The Applicant submitted a revised preliminary plat dated April 6, 2004, in the
corresponding preliminary plat PP-03-032, which removes several lots on the east,
west and north boundaries. The revised plat proposes 432 buildable lots (vs. 442)
and has a gross density of3.09 dulacre (vs. 3.15 du/acre). Other than the removal of
ten (10) lots, no other modifications were made to the corresponding preliminary
plat, PP-03-032, the April 6, 2004 preliminary plat is approved.
4. The Applicant also submitted a future re-subdivision plan for Lot 34, Block 28 (the
5-acre Boyack lot).
5. A detailed fencing plan shall be submitted upon application of the final plat. A 5-foot
vinyl fence with one-foot of lattice on top is required adjacent to the Larkwood
Subdivision. In addition, the Applicant has agreed to provide a stamped concrete
fence adjacent to Lots 1-9, Block 33 and Lot 37, Block 28.
6. Prior to City of Meridian approval of a new, single-family building permit
for the area shown as Lot 34, Block 28, the area shall be combined with Ada
County parcel S0530244450 (the existing driveway) to create a single flag
lot with frontage on Meridian Road. If not previously platted, said flag lot
shall be included in the first final plat submitted that is north of Phase 5 (the
existing Ada Co. parcel S0530244350). A one-time building permit is
allowed to be issued for Ada Co. parcel S0530244350 (the 60.89 acre
Boyack parcel) prior to final plat recordation. Any existing dwelling units on
the parcel must be demolished prior to issuance of a new building permit.
7. A permanent pedestrian easement, in favor ofthe City of Meridian, shall be recorded
for the regional pathway in each phase ofthe subdivision. The public easement shall
be recorded for the pathway prior to occupancy of any structures in that particular
phase of the subdivision. Submit a copy of the recorded easement to the Planning
and Zoning and Parks Departments. The easement shall be sufficient width to cover
the 1 O-wide pathway. The pedestrian easement is allowed to decrease to 6 feet wide

in front of Lots 7-12, Block 23 and Lot 71, Block 9, on the south side of E. Mesa
Bluffs Street. Buildings are precluded from constructing within this easement. The
1 O~foot wide hard surfaced pathway shall be constructed and fully improved prior to
the issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy for any building within the phase.
Additionally, a note shall be added to the face of each final plat indicating the City of
Meridian is responsible for the maintenance of the pathway surface located within the
easement. Applicant shall conform to the Park's Department standards for
construction of the regional pathway. The Homeowner's Association is responsible
for maintenance of all landscaping adjacent to the pathway.
8. Pertaining to the 24 foot access road, and which the Boyack 5-acre property is part of
the total parcel in this annexation and zoning, the 24 foot access road shall be
regulated as follows:
Within the Development Agreement there shall be a provision that the 24 foot lane
will be limited to use for one single-family residence on that five acres and no others,
until such time as either that residence obtains other public access, and/or the five
acres is approved for redevelopment. At that time, the 5-acre Boyack property shall
either: 1) relinquish any rights to use that lane for access; 2) offer it for sale to either
the property owner on the north or the property owner on the south, at appraised fair
market value.
9. At the April 20, 2004 Council meeting, Dave McKinnon, the Applicant's
representative, addressed the neighboring property owners concerns over traffic,
density/transition, and collector roads. It is noted at the public hearing by Dave
McKinnon as follows:
Traffic: Traffic has always been a concern, and there has been a recent concern with
the North Meridian Area Plan, as far as what is actually happening with it presently.
The impact fees that are paid for these types of projects are spent in different areas
currently, and you cannot have change in the road system without the impact fees.
Without the development there are no impact fees, and there would not be the money
to pay for the growth or for improvements in the roads in the future. This growth is
helping to pay, through ACHD, for the fixing and building of roads in other areas and
in the future these roads will be fixed and maintained by ACHD.
Due to a large ditch that runs along McMillan Road the developer is not able to
construct a secondary access onto McMillan Road.
DensitvITransition: The reason for the 90 degree pie-shaped lots, which are located
on the rear eastern end ofthe project, are that these lots would be only approximately
two lots for every single one within Larkwood. Across the street the lots step down
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
AND DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION
FOR ANNEXATION AND ZONING SAGUARO CANYON ESTATES SUBDIVISION
(AZ-03-027)
PAGE 7 OF 22
to 10,000 square feet; and which 10,000 square foot lots are still larger than the
minimum lot size. As you go farther back into the subdivision until you cross the
collector street those lots become smaller. The lots within the subdivision range from
9,200 sq. ft. up to 11 ,000 sq. ft. in size. Located on the interior ofthe subdivision are
large lots. The smaller lots are located adjacent to the school site, to the
Ashenbrenner's site, and across the collector street, to help provide for transition.
The transition expands from east to west within the subdivision.
Collector Roads: The City would like to see collector streets at the half-mile, but
they don't have to align directly with the half mile, (such as the Lochsa Falls
development) .
The Priddy property does not want traffic running right along the side of their home
and property, and the need for buffering this area could be addressed by having the
street come in at the half-mile location, and then jog to the south. This would
provide a buffer to the 24 foot wide street. The Developer is in agreement of getting
rid of the 24 foot wide road once everything is developed. Upon complete build out
of the Saguaro Canyon Subdivision, then the 24 foot wide access road is something
that the Wilsons would have to work out with the Ashenbrenner property owners.
13. It is found that the requested zoning designation, R-4, is harmonious with and in
accordance with the effective Comprehensive Plan ('02) and the Future Land Use Map, which
designates the land to be "Medium Density Residential". There is a minimum target density of three
(3) du/acre in the Comprehensive Plan and Saguaro Canyon's gross density is 3.09 dulacre. The
Future Land Use Map shows a potential public park site, regional pathway, and future school site in
this section. The Applicant proposes to construct a lO-foot-wide regional path from the parcel's
west boundary to the northeast boundary. Joint School District No.2 has purchased 40 acres of the
lID-acre Aschenbrenner parcel to the west for a middle school site and they are not pursuing any
further land acquisitions in Section 30 at this time. There is no awareness that any efforts of the
Meridian Parks and Recreation Department is undertaking to acquire land within this section for a
public park.

(AZ-03-027)
PAGE 8 OF 22
The Comprehensive Plan contains policies which encourage development to be phased in
accordance with their connection to the sewer system (policy #8, page 108 )and similar policies
aimed at controlling growth. The majority of this development precedes the permanent sewer trunk
line that is intended to serve this area (North Slough).
The Comprehensive Plan policies which generally support the annexation request are as
follows:

14. It is not anticipated that the applicant intends to rezone the subject property in the
future. This is the first urban-scale development and annexation application in Section 30, T4N,
Rl E. Upon extension of the North Slough Trunk into this square mile, additional rezone requests are
anticipated.
15. It is found that the proposed single-family residential subdivision would be allowed
within the requested R-4 zone, with a Planned Development to allow the reduced frontages, lot sizes
and house sizes.
16. It is found that the land directly south of the subject property was approved for
development similar to the proposed subdivision in 2002 (Cobre BasiniHavasu Creek). There is an

existing church (Holy Apostle's Catholic) approximately 260 feet north of this property's north
boundary. Also, a new elementary school is currently being constructed in the northeast corner of
the section (approved through Ada County), approximately 1,000 feet from the subject parcel. It is
found that the requested zoning district (R-4) is harmonious with several other approved
developments in the North Meridian Area (e.g. Havasu Creek, Bridgetower, Lochsa Falls, Cedar
Springs).
Neither McMillan or Meridian Road (between Chinden and McMillan) are programmed
within ACHD's Five Year Work Program. McMillan Road is in ACHD's Capital Improvement
Program and is anticipated to be reconstructed in 2018. The property is designed to sewer into a
portion of the North Slough Trunk that is not yet constructed.
It is found that the requested zoning and annexation could be deemed premature for this
section (TAN., R.IE, Section 30) based on the Comprehensive Plan policies noted in 13 above.
However, the approval of Havasu Creek Subdivision and the school district's intent to construct a
new Middle School in the next two to three years demonstrates a certain degree of intent for the City
to expand in this area.
17. It is found thatthe proposed single-family residential use will not change the existing
rural character of the subject property. There are two estate-style properties abutting the west
boundary and a low density, county development to the east. Neither of these is expected to
redevelop in the near future. The intended character of the vicinity is a mix of urban and suburban
scale developments on a generally gridded street system with a focus on single-family and multi-
family housing at 3 to 8 d.u./acre. The proposed use is compatible with the Future Land Use Map.

AND DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION

(AZ-03-027)
PAGE 10 OF 22
The design and density conforms to most of the Comprehensive Plan policies.
18. It is not anticipated that the proposed residential uses will be hazardous. However, it
is found that the new residences may be disruptive to existing agricultural practices to the west and
north.
19. It is found that the property to be annexed will or can be served adequately by most
essential public facilities and services if all conditions of approval are met by the applicant. The
applicant shall be required to extend water mains to and through the proposed development, thereby
making them available to the adjacent properties. The applicant and/or future property owners will
be required to pay park and highway impact fees as well as construct on-site storm water drainage
facilities.
As noted under paragraph 13 above, the north two-thirds of the parcel are not served by
sanitary sewer. There shall be a hold harmless agreement executed by the Applicant in favor of the
City of Meridian that the Applicant will hold the City harmless from any and all damages fro any
failure to provide sanitary sewer service until it is available in the ordinary course ofthe City's sewer
development program. The Applicant agrees that by annexing this property, the City is under no
obligation to provide sewer services to the property on the Applicant's timetable. No subdivision
improvements beyond Phase 1 (the southerly portion of Saguaro Canyon Estates which will gravity
flow to the lift station in Cobre Basin Subdivision) can begin until the North Slough Sewer Trunk's
easements are finalized by the City and the trunk construction schedule is finalized with the civil
contractor that is awarded the bid.
Review of the ACHD, Police and the Fire Department comments concerning this subdivision

will provide further information regarding public services and facilities.
20. It is found that there will not be excessive additional requirements at public cost for
public services and facilities, if the applicant complies with the conditions of approval for the
accompanying conditional use permit and preliminary plat applications.
21. It is recognized that traffic and noise will increase significantly upon build-out ofthe
proposed subdivision. Referral ofthe TIS prepared by WGI that accompanies this application will
provide specific details on traffic impacts. Specifically, the Red Horse Way/McMillan intersection
(serving both Havasu Creek and Saguaro Canyon) will create congestion on McMillan Road, even
with the center turn lane and right turn lanes constructed. However, it is not felt that the amount
generated will be detrimental to the public welfare if all City and ACHD conditions of approval are
met.
It is found that the proposed subdivision will not involve uses that would create other
nuisances that would be detrimental to the general welfare of the surrounding area.
22. It is found that the subdivision's vehicular approaches off of McMillan Road will
need to be aligned with the existing public street on the south side of McMillan and comply with the
turn lane and intersection control conditions imposed by ACHD. The other proposed roadways will
need to be improved in compliance with ACHD requirements in order to alleviate interference with
the existing and proposed intersections. Review of ACHD comments concerning vehicular
approaches and traffic generation will provide additional information on this matter. ACHD has
approved Saguaro Canyon application.
23. It is found that no natural or scenic features of major importance will be lost or

damaged by approving the atUlexation and re-zone. The North Slough does bisect the property and is
proposed to be piped underground. However, this facility is not considered to be a feature of"major
importance" for the community. Any existing trees larger than 4" caliper that are removed shall be
mitigated for, per the Landscape Ordinance.
24. It is found that water, irrigation, solid waste, library and street services are
available to the site. Sewer and fire service are readily available to approximately 50 of the 442
buildable lots. Existing elementary school capacity remains an important but undetermined factor
for this subdivision. In his November 10,2003 letter to the city, Mr. Wendel Bigham states that
"additional students will further compound the current overcrowded situation. Residents CaJlliot
be assured of attending the neighborhood school." Both Havasu Creek and Paramount
Subdivision, approximately Y2 miles to the west, have been approved for new elementary schools,
although neither of these sites has a construction date at this time.
Long-range planning in the North Meridian area has been underway since 2001. This area
is a part of the North Meridian Area Plan. The proposed use and density generally comply with
this plan. It is found that the annexation of this property mayor may not be in the best interest of
the City. In particular, paragraphs 13 and 16 above, raise concerns about the timing of expanding
the city limits into Section 30 (T4N, RIE) prior to all municipal and school district services
being fully addressed.
25. It is found that if the developer pays for the requested improvements
and complies with the conditions set forth in these Findings of Fact No. 12, and aU 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.
26. It is also found that the development considerations as referenced in Finding No.
12 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 hannonious
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.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
1. The City of Meridian has authority to almex real property upon written request for
annexation and the real property being contiguous or adjacent to city boundaries and that said
property lies within the area of city impact as provided by Idaho Code Section 50-222. The
Meridian City Code S 11-16 provides the City may annex real property that is within the
Meridian Urban Service Planning Area as set forth in the City's Comprehensive Plan.
2. The Council may take judicial notice of government ordinances, and policies, and
of actual conditions existing within the City and State.
3. The City of Meridian has exercised its authority and responsibility as provided by
"Local Land Use Planning Act of 1975", codified at Chapter 65, Title 67, Idaho Code by the
adoption of the Amended Comprehensive Plan City of Meridian adopted August 6,2002)
Resolution No. 02-382.

D. Adopt the action of the City Council taken at their April 20, 2004 meeting as follows;
For clarification:
1. Placed into record, and which is on file with the Meridian City Clerk's office, is the
Letter of Approval and Acceptance from Grant and Joyce Lee, dated April 20, 2004.
2. The Applicant, Farwest, LLC, per their letter dated January 6, 2004, pertaining to
Larkwood/Saguaro Canyon Agreements, agrees to provide the following:
a. A 25' height restriction (measurement at the peak, to allow for a second story
bonus room only) on 4 lots in the Saguaro Canyon Subdivision along the
Larkwood boundary (Lots 26, 41, 43 and 44, Block 9).
b. To construct a vinyl fence with l' lattice on the top along the Larkwood west
boundary.
c. The Applicant has cut and reworked the lots on the original submittal from 27
buildable lots to 20 buildable lots in the latest plat. The 20 buildable lots
remaining on the Larkwood boundary average 13,268 square feet. These 20
lots are an average of 42.85% larger than the average lot in Saguaro Canyon.
d. Tile the North Slough, North Slough #2 and the Rosti Laterals. Farwest, LLC
will also tile any of the above mentioned ditches adjacent to the Larkwood
west boundary regardless of their minor meandering across the legal lot lines.
e. Provide a pressurized irrigation stub to each ofthe Larkwood lots adjoining
Saguaro Canyon, providing the Larkwood homeowners transfer sufficient
water rights to the pump station diversion point to provide for these stubs.
3. The Applicant submitted a revised preliminary plat dated April 6, 2004, in the
corresponding preliminary plat PP-03-032, which removes several lots on the east,
west and north boundaries. The revised plat proposes 432 buildable lots (vs. 442)
and has a gross densityof3.09 du/acre (vs. 3.15 du/acre). Other than the removal of
ten (10) lots, no other modifications were made to the corresponding preliminary
plat, PP-03-032, the April 6, 2004 preliminary plat is approved.
4. The Applicant also submitted a future re-subdivision plan for Lot 34, Block 28 (the
5-acre Boyack lot).

(AZ-03-027)
PAGE 18 OF 22
Subdivision. In addition, the Applicant has agreed to provide a stamped concrete
fence adjacent to Lots 1-9, Block 33 and Lot 37, Block 28.
6. Prior to City of Meridian approval of a new, single-family building permit for the
area shown as Lot 34, Block 28, the area shall be combined with Ada County parcel
S0530244450 (the existing driveway) to create a single flag lot with frontage on
Meridian Road. If not previously platted, said flag lot shall be included in the first
final plat submitted that is north of Phase 5 (the existing Ada Co. parcel
S0530244350). A one-time building permit is allowed to be issued for Ada Co.
parcel S0530244350 (the 60.89 acre Boyack parcel) prior to final plat recordation.
Any existing dwelling units on the parcel must be demolished prior to issuance of a
new building permit.

Meridian is responsible for the maintenance ofthe pathway surface located within the
easement. Applicant shall conform to the Park's Department standards for
construction of the regional pathway. The Homeowner's Association is responsible
for maintenance of all landscaping adjacent to the pathway.
8. Pertaining to the 24 foot access road, and which the Boyack 5-acre property is part of
the total parcel in this alU1exation and zoning, the 24 foot access road shall be
regulated as follows:
Within the Development Agreement there shall be a provision that the 24 foot lane
will be limited to use for one single-family residence on that five acres and no others,
until such time as either that residence obtains other public access, and/or the five
acres is approved for redevelopment. At that time, the 5-acre Boyack property shall
either: 1) relinquish any rights to use that lane for access; 2) offer it for sale to either
the property owner on the north or the property owner on the south, at appraised fair
market value.
9. At the April 20, 2004 Council meeting, Dave McKilU1on, the Applicant's
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
AND DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION
FOR ANNEXATION AND ZONING SAGUARO CANYON ESTATES SUBDIVISION
(AZ-03-027)
PAGE 19 OF 22
representative, addressed the neighboring property owners concerns over traffic,
density/transition, and collector roads. It is noted at the public hearing by Dave
McKinnon as follows:
Traffic: Traffic has always been a concern, and there has been a recent concern with
the North Meridian Area Plan, as far as what is actually happening with it presently.
The impact fees that are paid for these types of projects are spent in different areas
currently, and you cannot have change in the road system without the impact fees.
Without the development there are no impact fees, and there would not be the money
to pay for the growth or for improvements in the roads in the future. This growth is
helping to pay, through ACHD, for the fixing and building of roads in other areas and
in the future these roads will be fixed and maintained by ACHD.
Due to a large ditch that runs along McMillan Road the developer is not able to
construct a secondary access onto McMillan Road.
DensitvITransition: The reason for the 90 degree pie-shaped lots, which are located
on the rear eastern end ofthe project, are that these lots would be only approximately
two lots for every single one within Larkwood. Across the street the lots step down
to 10,000 square feet; and which 10,000 square foot lots are still larger than the
minimum lot size. As you go farther back into the subdivision until you cross the
collector street those lots become smaller. The lots within the subdivision range from
9,200 sq. ft. up to 11,000 sq. ft. in size. Located on the interior ofthe subdivision are
large lots. The smaller lots are located adjacent to the school site, to the
Ashenbrenner's site, and across the collector street, to help provide for transition.
The transition expands from east to west within the subdivision.
Collector Roads: The City would like to see collector streets at the half-mile, but
they don't have to align directly with the half mile, (such as the Lochsa Falls
development).
The Priddy property does not want traffic running right along the side of their home
and property, and the need for buffering this area could be addressed by having the
street come in at the half-mile location, and then jog to the south. This would
provide a buffer to the 24 foot wide street. The Developer is in agreement of getting
rid of the 24 foot wide road once everything is developed. Upon complete build out
of the Saguaro Canyon Subdivision, then the 24 foot wide access road is something
that the Wilsons would have to work out with the Ashenbrenner property owners.
4. The City Attorney shall prepare for consideration by the City Council the appropriate
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW

ordinance for the annexation and zoning designation ofthe real property which is the subject ofthe
application to (R-4) Low Density Residential District, and Meridian City Code S 11-7-2.
5. Subsequent to the passage of the Ordinance provided for in section 4 of this Order the
engineering staff ofthe Public Works Department shall prepare the appropriate mapping changes of
the official boundaries and zoning maps as provided in Meridian City Code S 11-21-1 in accordance
with the provisions ofthe annexation and zoning ordinance.

The subject Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Decision and Order were
tabled to your May 11 Consent Agenda to allow staff time to review the final
documents. The CUP (03-058) appears clean. The following modifications are
recommended for more clarity and accuracy in the Preliminary Plat and Annexation
& Zoning documents:
AZ-03-027
· #3, pg. 6, 3rd line - The correct number of buildable lots is 432, not 433.
· #8, pg. 7, 1st line - Strike ". . .which will come in up in Ph::lse 10." (This access
road is intended to be used for a new residence earlier than Phase 10.)
· #8, pg. 7, 2nd para, 3rd line - Strike ". . .other ::lC0066," so it reads ". . .residence
obtains other public access. . ."
(NOTE: These same edits/changes appear in PP-03-032.)
PP-03-032
· #17, pg.11 - Add a new paragraph to the end of condition #17 which is the
condition #8 from AZ-03-027 pertaining to Mr. Brian McColl's language on the
secondary access. (This is simply to keep consistency between the annexation
and pre plat approval documents.)
· Item "G", pg. 17 - Strike the Parks Department comment about the pathway "not
connecting through the development." The revised plan shows the pathway
extending all the way through.
· #4, pg. 18 - Add the phrase "See the attached exhibit" to the end of this
paragraph and have the Attorney/Clerk attach the re-subdivision plan as an
exhibit.
With the above edits, staff recommends the final documents be adopted.

Comprehensive Plan by reason of the fact that it lies within the existing Urban Area as defined in
the Meridian Comprehensive Plan Generalized Land Use Map, Infrastructure Planning Analysis
Amended Comprehensive Plan Map, adopted August 6, 2002, Resolution No. 02-382, and the
property is presently zoned RUT by Ada County, however, an application for annexation and
zoning to R-4 is before the Council, and requires connection to the Municipal Water and Sewer
System. [Meridian City Code g 11-7-2 C]

2. The preliminary plat is in confonnance with the Amended Comprehensive Plan
City of Meridian adopted August 6,2002, Resolution No. 02-382, except for sanitary sewer
service, as the majority of this development precedes the permanent sewer trunk line that is
intended to serve this area (North Slough). The proposed subdivision meets goals of the
Comprehensive Plan through the following:
Ch. V, Goal III, Obj. B. #7
Ch. VI, Bullet #2, pg. 71
Ch. VI, Bullet #5, pg. 71

The Future Land Use Map shows a potential public park site, regional pathway, and
future school site. The Applicant proposes to construct a 10-foot-wide regional path from the
parcel's west boundary to the northeast boundary.
3. It is determined that Urban Services can be made available to accommodate a
portion of the proposed development, but sanitary sewer and fire are not available for the
majority of the lots, ifthe plat complies with the requirements and conditions hereinafter set forth
as conditions of preliminary plat approval. However, below is a potential timeframe for
development of Saguaro Canyon, based on the Subdivision Ordinance and a typical plat scenario
in Ada County:

Pre Plat & Annexation Approval (City Council)
Phase I Final Plat Approval (City Council)
Phase 1 Final Plat Recorded
First Certificates of Occupancy Issued
Assuming the above scenario for Phase 1 and strong market conditions, it's possible a
second phase of Saguaro Canyon could be approved and require availability of the North Slough
Trunk by Spring 2005. It remains unclear ifthe Public Works Department and their contractor
will have obtained the necessary sewer easements through Paramount Subdivision and the
Aschenbrenner parcel by this time. Joint School District No.2 anticipates needing the trunk line
extended for the Middle School by Spring 2007.
In tenus of fire service, it's anticipated that the second, permanent access for the
subdivision (besides McMillan Road) will be provided through a new residential subdivision on
the Aschenbrenner property, north of the school site and west of the subject property. To date, the
City has not received an application or conducted a pre-application meeting on this property.
4. The proposed development is a continuity of the proposed development within the
City's Capital Improvement Program and if the conditions, which are requested by the Planning
and Zoning Administrator and the Engineering Technician III, and as proposed by the developer
as stated on the preliminary plat, there will be public financial capability of supporting services
for the proposed development. The proposed subdivision would certainly not create any more
additional requirements or demands to the City than other residential uses. The primary question
is one of timing. Until the North Slough Trunk is constructed, sanitary sewer service is not
available for the majority of this development.

5. The development ifbuilt in accordance with the conditions and as proposed, will
not create health, safety or environmental problems and there have been no specifics of any such
concerns brought to the Council's attention. It is found that the development will require public
expenditures for extending the North Slough Trunk. Specifically, the Public Works must enter
into a contract with a private firm to acquire easements, design and construct the line. The
funding for this extension is budgeted in the FY04 budget, with a preliminary estimated schedule
of construction completion by June 2005.
6. It is found that the Recommendation To City Council of the Planning and Zoning
Commission is reasonable and appropriate for the conditions of approval of the preliminary plat
as hereinafter set forth. Other than previously noted above, it is not found that there would be
any other health, safety or environmental problems associated with this subdivision.

FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND ORDER
OF CONDITIONAL APPROVAL OF PRELIMINARY PLAT
SAGUARO CANYON ESTATES SUBDNISION I (pP-03-032)
PAGE 17 of22
42.85% larger than the average lot in Saguaro Canyon.
d. Tile the North Slough, North Slough #2 and the Rosti Laterals.
Farwest, LLC will also tile any of the above mentioned ditches
adjacent to the Larkwood west boundary regardless oftheir minor
meandering across the legal lot lines.
e. Provide a pressurized irrigation stub to each ofthe Larkwood lots
adjoining Saguaro Canyon, providing the Larkwood homeowners
transfer sufficient water rights to the pump station diversion point
to provide for these stubs.
3. The Applicant submitted a revised preliminary plat dated April 6, 2004, in
the corresponding preliminary plat PP-03-032, which removes several lots
on the east, west and north boundaries. The revised plat proposes 432
buildable lots (vs. 442) and has a gross density of 3.09 du/acre (vs. 3.15
dulacre). Other than the removal of ten (10) lots, no other modifications
were made to the corresponding preliminary plat, PP-03-032, the April 6,
2004 preliminary plat is approved.
4. The Applicant also submitted a future re-subdivision plan for Lot 34, Block
28 (the 5-acre Boyack lot), see the attached exhibit.
5. A detailed fencing plan shall be submitted upon application of the final plat.
A 5-foot vinyl fence with one-foot of lattice on top is required adjacent to
the Larkwood Subdivision. In addition, the Applicant has agreed to provide
a stamped concrete fence adjacent to Lots 1-9, Block 33 and Lot 37, Block
28.
6. Prior to City of Meridian approval of a new, single-family building
permit for the area shown as Lot 34, Block 28, the area shall be
combined with Ada County parcel S0530244450 (the existing
driveway) to create a single flag lot with frontage on Meridian
Road. If not previously platted, said flag lot shall be included in the
first final plat submitted that is north of Phase 5 (the existing Ada
Co. parcel S0530244350). A one-time building permit is allowed to
be issued for Ada Co. parcel 80530244350 (the 60.89 acre Boyack
parcel) prior to final plat recordation. Any existing dwelling units
on the parcel must be demolished prior to issuance of a new
building permit.
7. A permanent pedestrian easement, in favor of the City of Meridian, shall be

FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND ORDER
OF CONDITIONAL APPROVAL OF PRELIMINARY PLAT
SAGUARO CANYON ESTATES SUBDNISION / (pP-03-032)
PAGE 18 of22
public easement shall be recorded for the pathway prior to occupancy of any
structures in that particular phase of the subdivision. Submit a copy of the
recorded easement to the Planning and Zoning and Parks Departments. The
easement shall be sufficient width to cover the 10-wide pathway. The
pedestrian easement is allowed to decrease to 6 feet wide in front of Lots 7-
12, Block 23 and Lot 71, Block 9, on the south side ofE. Mesa Bluffs Street.
Buildings are precluded from constructing within this easement. The 10- foot
wide hard surfaced pathway shall be constructed and fully improved prior to
the issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy for any building within the
phase. Additionally, a note shall be added to the face of each final plat
indicating the City of Meridian is responsible for the maintenance of the
pathway surface located within the easement. Applicant shall conform to the
Park's Department standards for construction of the regional pathway. The
Homeowner's Association is responsible for maintenance of all landscaping
adjacent to the pathway.
8. Pertaining to the 24 foot access road, and which the Boyack 5-acre property
is part of the total parcel in this annexation and zoning, the 24 foot access
road shall be regulated as follows:
Within the Development Agreement there shall be a provision that the 24
foot lane will be limited to use for one single-family residence on that five
acres and no others, until such time as either that residence obtains other
public access, and/or the five acres is approved for redevelopment. At that
time, the 5-acre Boyack property shall either: 1) relinquish any rights to use
that lane for access; 2) offer it for sale to either the property owner on the
north or the property owner on the south, at appraised fair market value.
9. At the April 20, 2004 Council meeting, Dave McKinnon, the Applicant's
representative, addressed the neighboring property owners concerns over
traffic, density/transition, and collector roads. It is noted at the public
hearing by Dave McKinnon as follows:
Traffic: Traffic has always been a concern, and there has been a recent
concern with the North Meridian Area Plan, as far as what is actual1y
happening with it presently. The impact fees that are paid for these types of
projects are spent in different areas currently, and you cannot have change in
the road system without the impact fees. Without the development there are
no impact fees, and there would not be the money to pay for the growth or
for improvements in the roads in the future. This growth is helping to pay,
through ACHD, for the fixing and building of roads in other areas and in the
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND ORDER
OF CONDITIONAL AFPROV AL OF PRELIMINARY PLAT
SAGUARO CANYON ESTATES SUBDIVISION / (pP-03-032)
PAGE 19 of22
future these roads will be fixed and maintained by ACHD.
Due to a large ditch that runs along McMillan Road the developer is not able
to construct a secondary access onto McMillan Road.
Densitv/Transition: The reason for the 90 degree pie-shaped lots, which are
located on the rear eastern end of the project, are that these lots would be
only approximately two lots for every single one within Larkwood. Across
the street the lots step down to 10,000 square feet; and which 10,000 square
foot lots are still larger than the minimum lot size. As you go farther back
into the subdivision until you cross the collector street those lots become
smaller. The lots within the subdivision range from 9,200 sq. ft. up to
11,000 sq. ft. in size. Located on the interior of the subdivision are large
lots. The smaller lots are located adjacent to the school site, to the
Ashenbrenner's site, and across the collector street, to help provide for
transition. The transition expands from east to west within the subdivision.
Collector Roads: The City would like to see collector streets at the half-
mile, but they don't have to align directly with the half mile, (such as the
Lochsa Falls development).
The Priddy property does not want traffic running right along the side of
their home and property, and the need for buffering this area could be
addressed by having the street come in at the half-mile location, and thenjog
to the south. This would provide a buffer to the 24 foot wide street. The
Developer is in agreement of getting rid of the 24 foot wide road once
everything is developed. Upon complete build out of the Saguaro Canyon
Subdivision, then the 24 foot wide access road is something that the Wilsons
would have to work out with the Ashenbrenner property owners.
10. Jack Wilson provided a letter dated April 9,2004, which is placed on
record, and is on file in the Meridian City Clerk's office, stating they have
retained 5 acres of the land purchased from George and Betty Boyack to
eventually construct a home before city services will be available. He
provided a preliminary drawing as to the layout of the road and lot
designation. He also agreed in his letter that when city services become
available that they will disconnect from the well and septic system, and
then proceed with planning their remaining 4 ~ acres and connect to city
servIces.

Re:
The subject Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Decision and Order were
tabled to your May 11 Consent Agenda to allow staff time to review the final
documents. The CUP (03-058) appears clean. The following modifications are
recommended for more clarity and accuracy in the Preliminary Plat and Annexation
& Zoning documents:
AZ-03-027
· #3, pg. 6, 3rd line - The correct number of buildable lots is 432, not 433.
· #8, pg. 7, 1st line - Strike ". . .'Nhich '.vill come in up in Ph::lse 10." (This access
road is intended to be used for a new residence earlier than Phase 10.)
· #8, pg. 7, 2nd para, 3rd line - Strike ". . .other access," so it reads ". . .residence
obtains other public access. . ."
(NOTE: These same edits/changes appear in PP-03-032.)
PP-03-032
· #17, pg.11 - Add a new paragraph to the end of condition #17 which is the
condition #8 from AZ-03-027 pertaining to Mr. Brian McColl's language on the
secondary access. (This is simply to keep consistency between the annexation
and pre plat approval documents.)
· Item "G", pg. 17 - Strike the Parks Department comment about the pathway "not
connecting through the development." The revised plan shows the pathway
extending all the way through.
· #4, pg. 18 - Add the phrase "See the attached exhibit" to the end of this
paragraph and have the Attorney/Clerk attach the re-subdivision plan as an
exhibit.
With the above edits, staff recommends the final documents be adopted.

For clarification:
1. Placed into record, and which is on file with the Meridian City Clerk's office, is the
Letter of Approval and Acceptance from Grant and Joyce Lee, dated Apo120, 2004.
2. The Applicant, Farwest, LLC, per their letter dated January 6, 2004, pertaining to
Larkwood/Saguaro Canyon Agreements, agrees to provide the following:
a. A 25' height restriction (measurement at the peak, to allow for a second
story bonus room only) on 4 lots in the Saguaro Canyon Subdivision along
the Larkwood boundary (Lots 26, 41, 43 and 44, Block 9).
b. To construct a vinyl fence with l' lattice on the top along the Larkwood
west boundary.
c. The Applicant has cut and reworked the lots on the original submittal from
27 buildable lots to 20 buildable lots in the latest plat. The 20 buildable lots
remaining on the Larkwood boundary average 13,268 square feet. These 20
lots are an average of 42.85% larger than the average lot in Saguaro
Canyon.
d. Tile the North Slough, North Slough #2 and the Rosti Laterals. Farwest,
LLC will also tile any of the above mentioned ditches adjacent to the
Larkwood west boundary regardless of their minor meandering across the
legal lot lines.
e. Provide a pressurized irrigation stub to each ofthe Larkwood lots adjoining
Saguaro Canyon, providing the Larkwood homeowners transfer sufficient
water rights to the pump station diversion point to provide for these stubs.
3. The Applicant submitted a revised preliminary plat dated April 6, 2004, in the
corresponding preliminary plat PP-03-032, which removes several lots on the east,
west and north boundaries. The revised plat proposes 432 buildable lots (vs. 442)
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LA W AND DECISION AND ORDER
GRANTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
PAGE 9 OF 29
and has a gross densityof3.09 du/acre (vs. 3.15 du/acre). Other than the removal of
ten (10) lots, no other modifications were made to the corresponding preliminary
plat, PP-03-032, the April 6, 2004 preliminary plat is approved.
4. The Applicant also submitted a future re-subdivision plan for Lot 34, Block 28 (the
5-acre Boyack lot).
5. A detailed fencing plan shall be submitted upon application of the final plat. A 5-foot
vinyl fence with one-foot of lattice on top is required adjacent to the Larkwood
Subdivision. In addition, the Applicant has agreed to provide a stamped concrete
fence adjacent to Lots 1-9, Block 33 and Lot 37, Block 28.
6. Prior to City of Meridian approval ofa new, single-family building permit
for the area shown as Lot 34, Block 28, the area shall be combined with Ada
County parcel S053 0244450 (the existing driveway) to create a single flag
lot with frontage on Meridian Road. If not previously platted, said flag lot
shall be included in the first final plat submitted that is north of Phase 5 (the
existing Ada Co. parcel S0530244350). A one-time building permit is
allowed to be issued for Ada Co. parcel S0530244350 (the 60.89 acre
Boyack parcel) prior to final plat recordation. Any existing dwelling units on
the parcel must be demolished prior to issuance of a new building permit.
7. A permanent pedestrian easement, in favor of the City of Meridian, shall be recorded
for the regional pathway in each phase ofthe subdivision. The public easement shall
be recorded for the pathway prior to occupancy of any structures in that particular
phase of the subdivision. Submit a copy of the recorded easement to the Planning
and Zoning and Parks Departments. The easement shall be sufficient width to cover
the 1 O-wide pathway. The pedestrian easement is allowed to decrease to 6 feet wide
in front of Lots 7-12, Block 23 and Lot 71, Block 9, on the south side of E. Mesa
Bluffs Street. Buildings are precluded from constructing within this easement. The
I a-foot wide hard surfaced pathway shall be constructed and fully improved prior to
the issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy for any building within the phase.
Additionally, a note shall be added to the face of each final plat indicating the City of
Meridian is responsible for the maintenance ofthe pathway surface located within the
easement. Applicant shall conform to the Park's Department standards for
construction of the regional pathway. The Homeowner's Association is responsible
for maintenance of all landscaping adjacent to the pathway.
8. Pertaining to the 24 foot access road, and which the Boyack 5-acre property is part of
the total parcel in this annexation and zoning, the 24 foot access road shall be
regulated as follows:
Within the Development Agreement there shall be a provision that the 24 foot lane
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION AND ORDER
GRANTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
PAGE 10 OF 29
will be limited to use for one single-family residence on that five acres and no others,
until such time as either that residence obtains other public access, and/or the five
acres is approved for redevelopment. At that time, the 5-acre Boyack property shall
either: 1) relinquish any rights to use that lane for access; 2) offer it for sale to either
the property owner on the north or the property owner on the south, at appraised fair
market value.
9. At the April 20, 2004 Council meeting, Dave McKinnon, the Applicant's
representative, addressed the neighboring property owners concerns over traffic,
density/transition, and collector roads. It is noted at the public hearing by Dave
McKinnon as follows:
Traffic: Traffic has always been a concern, and there has been a recent concern with
the North Meridian Area Plan, as far as what is actually happening with it presently.
The impact fees that are paid for these types ofprojects are spent in different areas
currently, and you cannot have change in the road system without the impact fees.
Without the development there are no impact fees, and there would not be the money
to pay for the growth or for improvements in the roads in the future. This growth is
helping to pay, through ACHD, for the fixing and building of roads in other areas and
in the future these roads will be fixed and maintained by ACHD.
Due to a large ditch that runs along McMillan Road the developer is not able to
construct a secondary access onto McMillan Road.
Densitv/Transition: The reason for the 90 degree pie-shaped lots, which are located
on the rear eastern end of the project, are that these lots would be only approximately
two lots for every single one within Larkwood. Across the street the lots step down
to 10,000 square feet; and which 10,000 square foot lots are still larger than the
minimum lot size. As you go farther back into the subdivision until you cross the
collector street those lots become smaller. The lots within the subdivision range from
9,200 sq. ft. up to 11,000 sq. ft. in size. Located on the interior ofthe subdivision are
large lots. The smaller lots are located adjacent to the school site, to the
Ashenbrenner's site, and across the collector street, to help provide for transition.
The transition expands from east to west within the subdivision.
Collector Roads: The City would like to see collector streets at the half-mile, but
they don't have to align directly with the half mile, (such as the Lochsa Falls
development).
The Priddy property does not want traffic running right along the side of their home
and property, and the need for buffering this area could be addressed by having the
street come in at the half-mile location, and then jog to the south. This would
provide a buffer to the 24 foot wide street. The Developer is in agreement of getting
rid of the 24 foot wide road once everything is developed. Upon complete build out
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION AND ORDER
GRANTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
PAGE 11 OF29
of the Saguaro Canyon Subdivision, then the 24 foot wide access road is something
that the Wilsons would have to work out with the Ashenbrenner property owners.
14. It is found that the subject property is large enough to accommodate the requested use
and all other required features required by ordinance.
15. It is found that the requested zoning designation, R-4, is harmonious with and in
accordance with the effective Comprehensive Plan ('02) and the Future Land Use Map, which
designates the land to be "Medium Density Residential". There is a minimum target density ofthree
(3) dulacre in the Comprehensive Plan and Saguaro Canyon's gross density is 3.09 dulacre. The
Future Land Use Map shows a potential public park site, regional pathway, and future school site in
this section. The Applicant proposes to construct a IO-foot-wide regional path from the parcel's
west boundary to the northeast boundary. Joint School District No.2 has purchased 40 acres of the
11 Q-acre AschenbrelU1er parcel to the west for a middle school site and they are not pursuing any
further land acquisitions in Section 30 at this time. There is no awareness that any efforts of the
Meridian Parks and Recreation Department is undertaking to acquire land within this section for a
public park.
The Comprehensive Plan contains policies which encourage development to be phased in
accordance with their connection to the sewer system (policy #8, page 108 )and similar policies
aimed at controlling growth. The majority ofthis development precedes the permanent sewer trunk
line that is intended to serve this area (North Slough).
The Comprehensive Plan policies which generally support the alU1exation request are as
follows:

16. It is found that the land directly south of the subject property was approved for
development similar to the proposed subdivision in 2002 (Cobre BasinlHavasu Creek). There is an
existing church (Holy Apostle's Catholic) approximately 260 feet north of this property's north
boundary. Also, a new elementary school is currently being constructed in the northeast comer of the
section (approved through Ada County), approximately 1,000 feet from the subject parcel. It is found
that the requested zoning district (R-4) is harmonious with several other approved developments in
the North Meridian Area (e.g. Havasu Creek, Bridgetower, Lochsa Fans, Cedar Springs).
Neither McMillan or Meridian Road (between Chinden and McMillan) are programmed
within ACHD's Five Year Work Program. McMillan Road is in ACHD's Capital hnprovement
Program and is anticipated to be reconstructed in 2018. The property is designed to sewer into a
portion of the North Slough Trunk that is not yet constructed.
It is found that the requested zoning and annexation could be deemed premature for this
section (TAN., R.I E, Section 30) based on the Comprehensive Plan policies noted above. However,
the approval ofHavasu Creek Subdivision and the school district's intent to construct a new Middle
School in the next two to three years demonstrates a certain degree of intent for the City to expand in
this area.
It is found that the proposed single family residential use will change the existing rural
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION AND ORDER
GRANTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
PAGE 13 OF29
character of the subject property. There are two estate-style properties abutting the west boundary
and a low density, county development to the east. Neither of these is expected to redevelop in the
near future. The intended character of the vicinity is a mix of urban and suburban scale developments
on a generally gridded street system with a focus on single family and multi-family housing at 3 to 8
d.u./acre. The proposed use is compatible with the Future Land Use Map. The design and density
conforms to most of the Comprehensive Plan policies.
17. It is not anticipated that the proposed residential uses will be hazardous. However, it
is found that the new residences may be disruptive to existing agricultural practices to the west and
north.
18. It is found that the property to be alUlexed will or can be served adequately by most
essential public facilities and services if all conditions of approval are met by the applicant. The
applicant shall be required to extend water mains to and through the proposed development, thereby
making them available to the adjacent properties. The applicant and/or future property owners will be
required to pay park and highway impact fees as well as construct on-site stormwater drainage
facilities.
The north two-thirds of the parcel are not served by sanitary sewer. The applicant should
present more details to the City regarding how they will provide or coordinate the extension of the
North Slough Trunk.
Please review ACHD, Police and the Fire Department's comments concerning this
subdivision for further information regarding public services and facilities.
19. It is found that there will not be excessive additional requirements at public cost
for public services and facilities, if the applicant complies with the conditional use permit
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION AND ORDER
GRANTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
PAGE 14 OF 29
conditions, and the conditions of approval for the accompanying annexation and zoning and
preliminary plat. It is found that the development will require public expenditures for extending
the North Slough Trunk. Specifically, the Public Works must enter into a contract with a private
firm to acquire easements, design and construct the line. The funding for this extension is
budgeted in the FY04 budget, with a preliminary estimated schedule of construction completion
by June 2005.
20. It is recognized that traffic and noise will increase significantly upon build-out of the
proposed subdivision. Refer to the TIS prepared by WGI that accompanies the atmexation and
zoning application for specific details on traffic impacts. Specifically, the Red Horse WaylMcMillan
intersection (serving both Havasu Creek and Saguaro Canyon) will create congestion on McMillan
Road, even with the center turn lane and right turn lanes constructed. However, it is not felt that the
amount generated will be detrimental to the public welfare if all City and ACHD conditions of
approval are met.
It is found that the proposed subdivision will not involve uses that would create other
nuisances that would be detrimental to the general welfare of the surrounding area.
21. It is recognized that traffic and noise will increase significantly upon build-out of the
proposed subdivision. Refer to the TIS prepared by WGI that accompanies the annexation and
zoning application for specific details on traffic impacts. Specifically, the Red Horse Way /McMillan
intersection (serving both Havasu Creek and Saguaro Canyon) will create congestion on McMillan
Road, even with the center turn lane and right turn lanes constructed. However, it is not felt that the
amount generated will be detrimental to the public welfare if all City and ACHD conditions of
approval are met.

It is found that the proposed subdivision will not involve uses that would create other
nuisances that would be detrimental to the general welfare of the surrounding area.
It is found that the subdivision's vehicular approach off of McMillan Road will need to be
aligned with the existing public street on the south side of McMillan and comply with the turn lane
and intersection control conditions imposed by ACHD. The other proposed roadways will need to be
improved in compliance with ACHD requirements in order to alleviate interference with the existing
and proposed intersections.
Review ofthe ACHD comments concerning vehicular approaches and traffic generation will
provide additional information. ACHD has approved the Saguaro Canyon application.
22. It is found that no natural or scenic features of major importance will be lost or
damaged by approving the alUlexation and re-zone. The North Slough does bisect the property and is
proposed to be piped underground. However, this facility is not considered to be a feature of "major
importance" for the community. Any existing trees larger than 4" caliper that are removed shall be
mitigated for, per the Landscape Ordinance.

Saguaro Canyon, providing the Larkwood homeowners transfer sufficient
water rights to the pump station diversion point to provide for these stubs.
3. The Applicant submitted a revised preliminary plat dated April 6, 2004, in the
corresponding preliminary plat PP-03-032, which removes several lots on the east,
west and north boundaries. The revised plat proposes 432 buildable lots (vs. 442)
and has a gross densityof3.09 du/acre (vs. 3.15 du/acre). Other than the removal of
ten (10) lots, no other modifications were made to the corresponding preliminary
plat, PP-03-032, the April 6, 2004 preliminary plat is approved.
4. The Applicant also submitted a future re-subdivision plan for Lot 34, Block 28 (the
5-acre Boyack lot).
5. A detailed fencing plan shall be submitted upon application ofthe final plat. A 5-foot
vinyl fence with one-foot of lattice on top is required adjacent to the Larkwood
Subdivision. In addition, the Applicant has agreed to provide a stamped concrete
fence adjacent to Lots 1-9, Block 33 and Lot 37, Block 28.
6. Prior to City of Meridian approval of a new, single-family building permit
for the area shown as Lot 34, Block 28, the area shall be combined with Ada
County parcel S0530244450 (the existing driveway) to create a single flag
lot with frontage on Meridian Road. If not previously platted, said flag lot
shall be included in the first final plat submitted that is north of Phase 5 (the
existing Ada Co. parcel 80530244350). A one-time building permit is

8. Pertaining to the 24 foot access road, and which the Boyack 5-acre property is part of
the total parcel in this annexation and zoning, the 24 foot access road shall be
regulated as follows:
Within the Development Agreement there shall be a provision that the 24 foot lane
will be limited to use for one single-family residence on that five acres and no others,
until such time as either that residence obtains other public access, and/or the five
acres is approved for redevelopment. At that time, the 5-acre Boyack property shall
either: 1) relinquish any rights to use that lane for access; 2) offer it for sale to either
the property owner on the north or the property owner on the south, at appraised fair
market value.
9. At the April 20, 2004 Council meeting, Dave McKinnon, the Applicant's
representative, addressed the neighboring property owners concerns over traffic,
density/transition, and collector roads. It is noted at the public hearing by Dave
McKinnon as follows:
Traffic: Traffic has always been a concern, and there has been a recent concern with
the North Meridian Area Plan, as far as what is actually happening with it presently.
The impact fees that are paid for these types of projects are spent in different areas
currently, and you cannot have change in the road system without the impact fees.
Without the development there are no impact fees, and there would not be the money
to pay for the growth or for improvements in the roads in the future. This growth is
helping to pay, through ACHD, for the fixing and building of roads in other areas and
in the future these roads will be fixed and maintained by ACHD.
Due to a large ditch that runs along McMillan Road the developer is not able to
construct a secondary access onto McMillan Road.
DensitvlTransition: The reason for the 90 degree pie-shaped lots, which are located
on the rear eastern end of the project, are that these lots would be only approximately
two lots for every single one within Larkwood. Across the street the lots step down
to 10,000 square feet; and which 10,000 square foot lots are still larger than the
minimum lot size. As you go farther back into the subdivislon until you cross the
collector street those lots become smaller. The lots within the subdivision range from
9,200 sq. ft. up to 11,000 sq. ft. in size. Located on the interior of the subdivision are
large lots. The smaller lots are located adjacent to the school site, to the
Ashenbrenner's site, and across the collector street, to help provide for transition.
The transition expands from east to west within the subdivision.
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION AND ORDER
GRANTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
PAGE 26 OF 29
Collector Roads: The City would like to see collector streets at the half-mile, but
they don't have to align directly with the half mile, (such as the Lochsa Falls
development).
The Priddy property does not want traffic running right along the side of their home
and property, and the need for buffering this area could be addressed by having the
street come in at the half-mile location, and then jog to the south. This would
provide a buffer to the 24 foot wide street. The Developer is in agreement of getting
rid ofthe 24 foot wide road once everything is developed. Upon complete build out
of the Saguaro Canyon Subdivision, then the 24 foot wide access road is something
that the Wilsons would have to work out with the Ashenbrenner property owners.
2. The conditions shall be reviewable by the Council pursuant to Meridian City Code
S 11-17-9.
3. The above conditions are concluded to be reasonable and the applicant shall meet
such requirements as a condition of approval of the application for a conditional use permit.
4. That the City Attorney draft an Order Granting Conditional Use Permit
in accordance with this Decision, which shall be signed by the Mayor and City Clerk and then a
copy served by the Clerk upon the applicant, the Planning and Zoning Department, the Public
Works Department and any affected party requesting notice.
NOTICE OF EIGHTEEN (18) MONTH CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DURATION
Please take notice that the conditional use permit shall be valid for a maximum period of
eighteen (18) months unless otherwise approved by the council. During this time, the permit
holder must commence the use as permitted in accordance with the conditions of approval,
satisfy the requirements set forth in the conditions of approval, acquire building permits and
commence construction of permanent footings or structures on or in the ground. In this context
"structures" shall include sewer and water lines, streets or building construction. The applicant

has specified in the application and to the commission and council a construction schedule and
completion date for the project. If the completion date specified for the project is exceeded, the
conditional use application shall become null and void. However, the applicant may submit an
application for a time extension on the project for city council review. The application for time
extension shall be submitted at least thirty (30) days prior to the deadline for completion of the
project. For projects requiring platting, the final plat must be recorded within this eighteen (18)
month period. For projects with multiple phases, the eighteen (18) month deadline shall apply to
the first phase. In the event that the development is made in successive contiguous segments or
multiple phases, such phases shall be constructed within successive intervals of one year from the
original date of approval by the council. If the successive phases are not submitted within one
year intervals, the conditional approval of the future phases shall be null and void. (MCC 11-17-

County parcel S0530244450 (the existing driveway) to create a single flag
lot with frontage on Meridian Road. Ifnot previously platted, said flag lot
shall be included in the first final plat submitted that is north of Phase 5 (the
existing Ada Co. parcel S0530244350). A one-time building permit is
allowed to be issued for Ada Co. parcel S0530244350 (the 60.89 acre
Boyack parcel) prior to final plat recordation. Any existing dwelling units on
the parcel must be demolished prior to issuance of a new building permit.
7. A permanent pedestrian easement, in favor of the City of Meridian, shall be recorded
for the regional pathway in each phase of the subdivision. The public easement shall
ORDER CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
(CUP-03-058)
PAGE70F 11
be recorded for the pathway prior to occupancy of any structures in that particular
phase of the subdivision. Submit a copy of the recorded easement to the Planning
and Zoning and Parks Departments. The easement shall be sufficient width to cover
the 10-wide pathway. The pedestrian easement is allowed to decrease to 6 feet wide
in front of Lots 7-12, Block 23 and Lot 71, Block 9, on the south side ofE. Mesa
Bluffs Street. Buildings are precluded from constructing within this easement. The
1 O-foot wide hard surfaced pathway shall be constructed and fully improved prior to
the issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy for any building within the phase.
Additionally, a note shall be added to the face of each final plat indicating the City of
Meridian is responsible for the maintenance ofthe pathway surface located within the
easement. Applicant shall conform to the Park's Department standards for
construction of the regional pathway. The Homeowner's Association is responsible
for maintenance of all landscaping adjacent to the pathway.
8. Pertaining to the 24 foot access road, and which the Boyack 5-acre property is part of
the total parcel in this annexation and zoning, the 24 foot access road shall be
regulated as follows:
Within the Development Agreement there shall be a provision that the 24 foot lane
will be limited to use for one single-family residence on that five acres and no others,
until such time as either that residence obtains other public access, and/or the five
acres is approved for redevelopment. At that time, the 5-acre Boyack property shall
either: 1) relinquish any rights to use that lane for access; 2) offer it for sale to either
the property owner on the north or the property owner on the south, at appraised fair
market value.
9. At the April 20, 2004 Council meeting, Dave McKinnon, the Applicant's
representative, addressed the neighboring property owners concerns over traffic,
density/transition, and collector roads. It is noted at the public hearing by Dave
McKinnon as follows:
Traffic: Traffic has always been a concern, and there has been a recent concern with
the North Meridian Area Plan, as far as what is actually happening with it presently.
The impact fees that are paid for these types of projects are spent in different areas
currently, and you cannot have change in the road system without the impact fees.
Without the development there are no impact fees, and there would not be the money
to pay for the growth or for improvements in the roads in the future. This growth is
helping to pay, through ACHD, for the fixing and building ofroads in other areas and
in the future these roads will be fixed and maintained by ACHD.
Due to a large ditch that runs along McMillan Road the developer is not able to
ORDER CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
(CUP-03-058)
PAGE 8 OF 11
construct a secondary access onto McMillan Road.
DensitvITransition: The reason for the 90 degree pie-shaped lots, which are located
on the rear eastern end of the project, are that these lots would be only approximately
two lots for every single one within Larkwood. Across the street the lots step down
to 10,000 square feet; and which 10,000 square foot lots are still larger than the
minimum lot size. As you go farther back into the subdivision until you cross the
collector street those lots become smaller. The lots within the subdivision range from
9,200 sq. ft. up to 11,000 sq. ft. in size. Located on the interior ofthe subdivision are
large lots. The smaller lots are located adjacent to the school site, to the
Ashenbrenner's site, and across the collector street, to help provide for transition.
The transition expands from east to west within the subdivision.
Collector Roads: The City would like to see collector streets at the half-mile, but
they don't have to align directly with the half mile, (such as the Lochsa Falls
development).
The Priddy property does not want traffic running right along the side of their home
and property, and the need for buffering this area could be addressed by having the
street come in at the half-mile location, and then jog to the south. This would
provide a buffer to the 24 foot wide street. The Developer is in agreement of getting
rid ofthe 24 foot wide road once everything is developed. Upon complete build out
ofthe Saguaro Canyon Subdivision, then the 24 foot wide access road is something
that the Wilsons would have to work out with the Ashenbrenner property owners.
3. The above conditions are concluded to be reasonable and the applicant shall meet
such requirements as a condition of approval of the application for a conditional use permit.
4. Notice to Permit Holder, this conditional use permit is not transferable without
complying with the provisions of Meridian City Code ~ 11-17-8, a copy of which is attached to
this permit.
NOTICE OF EIGHTEEN (18) MONTH CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
DURATION
Please take notice that the conditional use permit shall be valid for a maximum period of
eighteen (18) months unless otherwise approved by the council. During this time, the permit
ORDER CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT

PAGE 9 OF 11
holder must commence the use as permitted in accordance with the conditions of approval,
satisfy the requirements set forth in the conditions of approval, acquire building permits and
commence construction of permanent footings or structures on or in the ground. In this context
"structures" shall include sewer and water lines, streets or building construction. The applicant
has specified in the application and to the commission and council a construction schedule and
completion date for the project. If the completion date specified for the project is exceeded, the
conditional use application shall become null and void. However, the applicant may submit an
application for a time extension on the project for city council review. The application for time
extension shall be submitted at least thirty (30) days prior to the deadline for completion of the
project. For projects requiring platting, the final plat must be recorded within this eighteen (18)
month period. For projects with multiple phases, the eighteen (18) month deadline shall apply to
the first phase. In the event that the development is made in successive contiguous segments or
multiple phases, such phases shall be constructed within successive intervals of one year from the
original date of approval by the council. If the successive phases are not submitted within one
year intervals, the conditional approval of the future phases shall be null and void. (MCC 11-17-
4.B.)

We will send a letter to each property owner with vacant ground adjacent to the project. The letter will
advise them of the project, tell them the City will install a service stub to their property at their request,
and advise them the cost of the stub will be charged to them following completion of the work. A copy
of the letter will be sent to you for approval of the content and wording prior to being issued. The City
shall provide us with a mailing list for all property owners within the project limits.
We will contact property owners with an existing structure and obtain the information necessary to
design the sewer main to service their existing structure.
We assume all improvements will be within public right-of-way. This scope of services does not include
preparing written easements. Should easements become necessary for construction, it shall be the City's
responsibility to obtain the easements. At the City's request, we can provide written descriptions based
on a time and material basis as a supplement to this scope of services.
Plans will be prepared following the City providing our office with electronic files of the final design
submittal to ACED. Although we are designing the project, our contract with ACED gives them sole
ownership of the plans. We request the City obtain permission from ACED to use the electronic files
for utility design purposes.
We will submit the plans to ACED and DEQ for review and approval prior to construction. It will be
the City's responsibility to negotiate and execute the Joint Effolt Agreement for construction with
ACED. We will submit an application for a Pipeline Crossing Agreement to Northern Pacific Railroad
for the extension of the water main between Lanark Street and Pine Street. All required work to extend
the water main across the Evans Drain will be performed under ACED's agreement with the Nampa-
Meridian Irrigation District.
We propose to provide 40-scale plans on 22"x34" sheets to match ACED's plans. We anticipate that
the plan set will include a cover sheet, general note sheet, 9 plan and profile sheets, and three city
standard detail sheets. The total set is anticipated to include l4 sheets.
We propose to provide the Design Services as outlined above on a time and materials basis with a not to
exceed amount of $13,630.00 without prior approval of the City of Meridian. We have enclosed a copy
of our man-hour and fee estimates for your reference. Construction services are not included under this
scope of services.

a three party agreement betvveen the Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District, Packard
Estates Development, and the City of Meridian. The purpose of this agreement is to
delineate the responsibilities among the parties during and after construction. During the
construction period the agreement is between the NMID and Packard Estates
Development, and upon the final acceptance of the main by the City of Meridian, the
developer drops out of the agreement. and the City becomes the Licensee. This will cut
out a necessary step of having to re-license the crossing to the City of Meridian once it is
complete,.
Recommended Council Action: Approve the license agreement with Nampa &
MeridIan Irrigation District, Packard Estates Development, LLC and the City of
Meridian, and authorize the Mayor to sign and CIty Clerk to attest

fencing shall be approved by the Planning and Zoning Department prior to
construction.
2. Adequate water supply to meet the fire protection requirements must be constructed,
installed and operational prior to signature on the final plat, unless a non-build
agreement is executed and recorded prior to signature on the final plat. The non-
build agreement will not be released until all facilities required meet the fire
protection requirements and are operational.
3. The City Council approved at its March 9, 2004 meeting to proceed with a new well
site or provide other means to increase water supply since currently there is not an
adequate water supply available for the proposed project. It is understood that for the
City to provide a new well site it will take an undetermined amount oftime for the
City to develop a well site, including all the necessary testing and requirements
pursuant to the Idaho Department of Water Resources. Additionally, the additional
water supply would need to be in place before any development could occur.
4. The Public Works Department provided two alternatives for supplying water to
the proposed project, and said options are noted as follows:
1. Construction of an additional well in the high-pressure zone.
2. Routing water supply from the low-pressure zone to the high-pressure
zone by pipeline and pressure-reducing valve station(s).

(AZ-03-035)
PAGE 10 OF 30
7. According to the plans there is a pedestrian pathway located next to the Settlers Canal.
The canal in this area is extremely dangerous, especially to children, because of high
water velocity, and flows. SID does not recommend placing this pathway next to the
canal for safety reasons. However, if the pathway must be placed within SID's easements
the district will require a license agreement from the developer and/or whoever shall have
ownership ofthe pathway. The agreement will address liability issues, as well as the
operation and maintenance of the canal system.
G. Adopt the Recommendations of the Meridian Parks Department as follows:
1. ConstlUct pathway (Meridian Loop) according to current published pathway standards.
H. Adopt the action ofthe City Council taken at their March 9,2004 meeting as follows:
For Clarification:
1. Pertaining to the waste ditch, this ditch shall be leveled with a slight elevation for the future
subdivision lots within the Settlement Bridge Subdivision so that the neighboring property's
water will not flow onto the lots within the subdivision. Additionally, a fence shall be
required along the property line, and the type of said fencing shall be approved by the
Planning and Zoning Department prior to construction.
2. Adequate water supply to meet the fire protection requirements must be constructed, installed
and operational prior to signature on the final plat, unless a non-build agreement is executed
and recorded prior to signature on the final plat. The non-build agreement will not be
released until all facilities required meet the fire protection requirements and are operational.
3. The City Council approved at its March 9, 2004 meeting to proceed with a new well site or
provide other means to increase water supply since currently there is not an adequate water
supply available for the proposed project. It is understood that for the City to provide a new
well site it will take an undetermined amount of time for the City to develop a well site,
including all the necessary testing and requirements pursuant to the Idaho Department of
Water Resources. Additionally, the additional water supply would need to be in place before
any development could occur.
4. The Public Works Department provided two alternatives for supplying water to the
proposed project, and said options are noted as follows:
1. Constmction of an additional well in the high-pressure zone.
2. Routing water supply from the low-pressure zone to the high-pressure zone by
FllIDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW

pipeline and pressure-reducing valve station(s).
The City would maintain control of the design, plans, and construction of the
improvements. If other projects in the high-pressure zone north of Us tick Road
benefit from this method and if Capital Development reimburses the City for this
expense, it is recommended that Capital Development be eligible for a latecomers
agreement. Public Works shall determine which improvements shall be made.
Any required reimbursement must be paid prior to signature on the final plat.
13. In Chapter VII of the Comprehensive Plan <<medium density" is defined as areas
including single-family homes at densities of three to eight dwelling units per acre. It is found that
the requested zoning designation, R-8, is hmmonious with and in accordance with the 2002
Comprehensive Plan and the Future Land Use Map, which designates the land to be "Medium
Density Residential".
14. Concurrent with the annexation and zoning application, the applicant has submitted a
preliminary plat proposing single-family lots on the subject site (Settlement Bridge Subdivision, PP-
03-041). It is not anticipated that the applicant intends to rezone the subject property in the future.
15. It is found that the proposed single-family development would be allowed wi thin the
requested R-8 zone, as it is accompanied with a Conditional Use Permit for a Planned Development.
16. It is found that the land to the north, south, and west have been developed in a manner
similar to the proposed subdivision, with single-family dwelling units. Edinburgh Place Subdivision
#1 to the north has a gross density of 3.1 dwelling units per acre. Heritage Subdivision to the south
has a density of approximately 1 dwelling unit per acre. Havasu Creek Subdivision to the west has a
gross density of 3.5 dwelling units per acre. However, there have been no recent street
improvements in the area. This section of McMillan Road is in ACHD' s Capital hnprovements Plan

(CIP) for road widening in 2015. Locust Grove Road is not currently scheduled within ACHD's
Five Year Work Program or Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) for roadway widening. Other urban
services, such as sewer and water, are near to this site and the applicant should be able to extend such
services to the site. It is also found that the subject site is proposed for development in a fashion
similar to other properties in the area.
17. It is found that the proposed R-8 zoning and subsequent residential use proposed with
the concurrent preliminary plat match the intended character of the vicinity, as noted on the Future
Land Use Map in the Comprehensive Plan. It is also found that the proposed zoning/uses can be
designed and constructed in a manner that will be harmonious with, and appropriate in appearance
with, the existing and intended character of the surrounding area. The existing character of the area
will, and is, currently changing, especially upon build-out ofthe proposed project and other similar
subdivisions in the general vicinity. It is found that the proposed zoning/uses will adversely change
the essential character ofthe area.
18. Due to other existing and proposed uses near the site, it is not anticipated that the
proposed zoning/uses will be hazardous or disturbing to future or existing neighbors in the area.
19. The Meridian Fire Department submitted a list of conditions and needs, and said list
is addressed above in 12.C. Water and sanitary sewer service are proposed to be extended from
existing main lines adjacent to the proposed development. The Public Works Department has
determined that an additional water supply well is needed in this vicinity. Discussions are ongoing
with this developer for a site within the subdivision for a new well. The developer has indicated to
staff that it may be possible to locate the well within the "Grove" common area. The developer and
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
AND DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION
FOR ANNEXA nON AND ZONING SETTLEMENT BRIDGE SUBDMSION
(AZ~03~035)
PAGE 13 OF 30
staff from the Public Works Department are continuing to work on the location of the well site. This
project went before ACHD' s consent agenda on January 28, 2004, and ACHD, with site-specific and
standard conditions, approved the subj ect development. Review of the ACHD report concerning this
subdivision will provide further information.
20. The developer will be financing the extension of sewer, water, local street
infrastructure, utilities and irrigation services to serve the project. The primary public costs to serve
the future residents will be fire, police, school facilities and services, and the construction of a new
municipal well within the proposed development. It is found that there will not be excessive
additional requirements at public cost for public services and facilities and that the annexation and
zoning will not be detrimental to the community's economic welfare.
21. According to the Traffic Impact Study (TIS) prepared by Dobie Engineering, Inc., the
proposed project is anticipated to generate 2,490 vehicle trips per day. It is recognized that traffic
and noise will increase with the approval of this subdivision; however, it is not believed that the
amount generated will be detrimental to the general welfare of the public. It is not anticipated that
the proposed annexation and subsequent uses will create excessive noise, smoke, fumes, glare or
odors. It is found that the proposed residential zoning/uses will not be detrimental to people,
property or the general welfare of the area.
22. The applicant is proposing to construct one public street entrance into the site from
Locust Grove Road, and one public street entrance into the site from McMillan Road. If the two
proposed vehicular approaches are approved by ACHD, it is not believed that the subdivision will
create interference with traffic on the surrounding public streets.

(AZ-03-035)
PAGE 14 OF 30
23. It is found that there are some existing trees and other mature landscaping near the
existing farm house (near McMillan Road) that should be retained and protected. Any existing trees
larger than 4" caliper that are removed shall be mitigated for, per the Landscape Ordinance MCC 12-
13-13. There will need to be an adopted plan of how to protect the "grove" trees during demolition
of the fann house and new constmction near the grove. There should be tree protection zones
established and fenced before demolition begins. The applicant shall work with the City Arborist,
Elroy Huff, on designing and implementing a protection plan. If any trees are deemed to be a hazard,
diseased or dying by the City Arborist, prior to removal, mitigation will not be required for those
trees. It is further recommended that the applicant verify the status of the existing trees prior to
submitting final plat and detailing any required mitigation on the detailed landscape plan submitted
with the final plat. The applicant is proposing to relocate and leave the North Slough open abutting
the site. It is believed that the North Slough is a scenic feature that should be protected.
It is found that the proposed annexation and zoning should not result in the loss or damage of
any natural or scenic features, as long as the majority of the grove area is adequately protected and
the North Slough is relocated in a manner that does not negatively impact its beauty. There is no
awareness of any natural or scenic feature( s) that would be lost, damaged or destroyed by allowing
this site to be annexed, zoned and developed with residential uses.
24. It is found that the annexation and zoning of this property to R-8 would be in the
best interest of the City.

economic welfare of the City and its residents and tax and rate payers will be protected, a
condition of aru1exation and zoning designation.
26. It is also found that the development considerations as referenced in Finding No.
12 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 win 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.
27. Currently, there is an inadequate water supply for the proposed project.
28. A well site in Westborough Subdivision, )4-mile south of Chinden on the west
side of Locust Grove has been secured, and development of the well has begun. If the well proves
acceptable, both as to quality and quantity of water, the well will satisfY the water demands for
this project.
29. The Public Works Department provided two alternatives for supplying water to
the proposed project, and said options are noted as follows:
1. Construction of an additional well in the high-pressure zone.
2. Routing water supply from the low-pressure zone to the high-pressure zone by
pipeline and pressure-reducing valve station(s).
The City would maintain control of the design, plans, and construction of the
improvements. If other projects in the high-pressure zone north of Us tick Road
benefit from this method and if Capital Development reimburses the City for this

expense, it is recommended that Capital Development be eligible for a latecomers
agreement. Public Works shall determine which improvements shall be made.
Any required reimbursement must be paid prior to signature on the final plat.
30. The developer has agreed to reimburse the City for the cost of option #2
hereinabove, if this option is selected by the City.
31. hnposing a non-build agreement upon the development will provide the security to
the City until such time as the water is available, and the non-build agreement will not be released
until all facilities required meet the fire protection requirements and are operational.

construction meeting.
7. According to the plans there is a pedestrian pathway located next to the Settlers Canal.
The canal in this area is extremely dangerous, especially to children, because of high
water velocity, and flows. SID does not recommend placing this pathway next to the
canal for safety reasons. However, if the pathway must be placed within SID's easements
the district will require a license agreement from the developer and/or whoever shall have
ownership of the pathway. The agreement will address liability issues, as well as the
operation and maintenance of the canal system.

For Clarification:
1. Pertaining to the waste ditch, this ditch shall be leveled with a slight elevation for the future
subdivision lots within the Settlement Bridge Subdivision so that the neighboring property's
water will not flow onto the lots within the subdivision. Additionally, a fence shall be
required along the property line, and the type of said fencing shall be approved by the
Planning and Zoning Department prior to construction.
2. Adequate water supply to meet the fire protection requirements must be constructed, installed
and operational prior to signature on the final plat, unless a non-build agreement is executed
and recorded prior to signature on the final plat. The non-build agreement will not be
released until all facilities required meet the fire protection requirements and are operational.
3. The City Council approved at its March 9, 2004 meeting to proceed with a new well site or
provide other means to increase water supply since currently there is not an adequate water
supply available for the proposed project. It is understood that for the City to provide a new
well site it will take an undetermined amount of time for the City to develop a well site,
including all the necessary testing and requirements pursuant to the Idaho Department of
Water Resources. Additionally, the additional water supply would need to be in place before
any development could occur. Public Works shall determine which improvements shall be
made. Any required reimbursement must be paid prior to signature on the final plat.
4. The Public Works Department provided two alternatives for supplying water to the
proposed project, and said options are noted as follows:
1. Construction of an additional well in the high-pressure zone.
2. Routing water supply from the low-pressure zone to the high-pressure zone by
pipeline and pressure-reducing valve station(s).
The City would maintain control of the design, plans, and construction of the
improvements. If other projects in the high-pressure zone north of Us tick Road
. benefit from this method and if Capital Development reimburses the City for this
expense, it is recommended that Capital Development be eligible for a latecomers
agreement. Public Works shall determine which improvements shall be made.
Any required reimbursement must be paid prior to signature on the final plat.
