Item 3.
Discussion of Area of City Impact:
De Weerd: I will introduce this. I believe that you received kind of a taped
together map of the area north of Chinden between Linder and the map of Locust
Grove. Did they not --? Oh, it's on your computers. Here, you can look at mine.
It's a very nice picture. I had some of the property owners approach me last
week and since we do have this - some of this area in front of the Ada County
and asking for it to be part of the area of impact, I did ask the property owners to
come here tonight and share with you what they had conveyed to me. So, I will
turn this over - J don't know who wants to be the spokesperson, Mr. Calhan?
Carnahan: I do have some handouts.
(Inaudible discussion)
Carnahan: Madame Mayor, members of the Council, I appreciate the opportunity
to make some comments on this area of impact discussion. My name is Doug
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
May 25, 2004
Page 2 of 21
Carnahan. I live at 4410 West Chinden Boulevard. Myself and several of my
neighboring property owners are here tonight to talk about some of the proposals
that have been made by several cities. We have a specific request that we
would like to make. First of all, in running through those pages that I provided
you with the person that is not here on the list is Drew Aigers. He is in accord
with what we are going to propose tonight and ask us to represent his position,
but Jaq Huitt, Leroy Brandt as you can see on your slide there in the audience.
We own property that's bounded by Chinden and the Phyllis canal and the other
way east west from Linder over to Black Cat. We actually own some properties
on the other side of Chinden as well, but we really haven't wanted to address
those tonight because we think those are being taken care of in other
discussions. If I could move you to the second page, this will show the property
that we own. Let me start to the left. The Aigers family owns that in the yellow,
which actually does straddle Black Cat, but approximately 160 acres. The
property to the green is property that myself and my wife own and we have a
nursery that's in operation on that property. Moving further east in the blue -
Rountree: Excuse me.
Carnahan: Yes.
Rountree: How big is that property?
Carnahan: Our property is 220 acres,
Rountree: Thank you.
Carnahan: The property in the blue includes the Spur Wing Golf and Country
Club and that property is owned by the Huitt family and leased to the Country
Club and in fact, Jaq Huitt has developed a fair amount as you can see there a
number of lots in that blue parcel and Jaq I am - you have probably what 250
acres in there?
Huitt: (Inaudible discussion)
Carnahan: And then Leroy Brandt who is with us has about 50 acres and that's
shown in the purple. So, on the next slide, basically gets to the point of why we
are here. We would like to participate in this area of impact discussion. We have
read about different proposals in the papers and all that and thought we would
take the initiative and go forward and make some - a specific request. At the
same time, we have - we are at different stages of development on these
parcels; like for example, Jaq Huitt has already developed a subdivision in the
Spur Wing area, but others of us are working with architects and coming up with
proposals and we just want to make sure that we are working with the right
municipality. So, I could, if you would like me too, make a few comments about
what our plans are for each of those specific colored areas, or at least our earlier
thinking if you'd find that useful at this point. Would that be helpful?
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
May 25, 2004
Page 3 of 21
Nary: Sure, that would be fine.
Carnahan: Okay. Well, if I can take you back to the colored map. The Aigers
family in the yellow, they are probably the furthest out in development planning.
They think in about over - probably in about the ten-year timeframe, they want to
be doing construction. Their interested in doing low-density residential out in the
rim and then as you move closer to Chinden, probably a little bit higher density
residential; when I say low-density I am thinking like one acre lots and higher
density is maybe four-quarter-acre lots, something like that. Then selectively
commercial may be around the corners or as fits the rest of the development.
Our plans in the green are to, basically do something similar. We are going to
take up kind of a golf course theme, but we could see single-family, low density
lots out on the rim; more higher density as you move towards Chinden and then
maybe some selective commercial. We do have an office for our nursery in that
along Chinden as we (inaudible) today. Jaq, I don't know if you wanted to
comment about your plans.
Huitt: Inaudible.
Carnahan: Basically, Jaq has developed a lot of the property already. He does
have a plan to build some condominiums and some patio homes towards
Chinden and you can see an area that is kind of looks like a little gray line and
that's the - his proposal, he's held up because sewers aren't available as of this
time. So, that's what he is waiting for, but he is ready to go. Leroy Brandt in the
purple property has active dialogue with people that are interested in that
property and his thoughts are a mix of residential and some commercial
selectively near the corners. So, back to our priorities; sewers. Availability of
services to that area. We want to be included early in the area of impact and this
decision-making process. We are concerned that all this - I will call it difference
of opinion as to who's, what cities area of impact we should be in is going to
really slowdown the process and this could be contentious and we would like to
get beyond that, have it decided and move forward. Then the last thing that's a
priority for us, we do - we are interested in not just putting five acres lots out
there. We are interested in mixed use. Like I said, low to medium density
residential and light commercial. So, our last page in our request is real
straightforward. We think the property that I have shown on the map there that's
founded by the Phyllis Canal on north, Chinden on the south, Black Cat on the
west end and Linder on the east end. We think that should be in the Meridian
area of impact. We also - it's obvious we think you are in the best place to serve
those properties. We own properties outside of those bounds and then maybe,
for example, Spur Wing Country Club would be if the dividing line was the Phyllis
Canal, Spur Wing would be in two different areas of impact and you may want to
modify the line to accommodate some of those developments already in place.
We certainly are open to discussion, but we do believe Meridian is the correct
city to have that in their area of impact. We would like the area to be served with
services and we would like some support for all what I call mixed-use
("
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
May 25,2004

development as opposed to just being all five-acre lots. So, that's the request.
We are open for questions or thoughts or comments. We would appreciate some
feedback. Did I run out of time?
Nary: Council, do you have questions for Mr. Carnahan?
Bird: Mr. President, I got one question.
Nary: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Mr. Huitt might have to answer this. What you are saying is the existing
houses and stuff at Spur Wing is wanting to come into the city limits of Meridian?
Carnahan: What - I think they are talking area of impact.
Bird: Area of impact. Just the area of impact?
(Inaudible discussion)
Nary: You probably need to come up here, sir.
(Inaudible discussion)
Nary: Sir, I need you to be on the microphone. That's all right.
Huitt: Excuse me. I haven't canvassed the homeowner's within the Club. I have
an additional 19-acre parcel that I want to do high density residential and so my
interest is from that standpoint there. As far as the owners there, they all have -
of course we all Meridian addresses in that part of the Valley, but we haven't
canvassed the individual owners yet to see if they would want to be in Meridian's
area of impact or not, which would ultimately be within the City of Meridian.
Bird: Mr. Huitt, let me ask you and this is probably a dumb question, but in your
blue area here, isn't the Spur Wing Golf Course included in that?
Huitt: Yes, if you see the section of lots where it says Volada Court?
Bird: Affirmative.
Huitt: Okay, then just below that there is kind of a thin gray line that goes down.
It's almost sort of shaped like a bow tie, right there. That would be the area,
which would be developed.
Bird: Okay.
Huitt: Then that would be - that would complete the development for residential
at Spur Wing.
Meridian City Pre-Council.N1eeting
May 25,2004
Page 5 of 21
Bird: That's the one there along (inaudible) the north?
Huitt: Yeah, one, two and three. It's just to the right of the first, second and third
hole.
Rountree: Mr. President.
Nary: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: I had a question for Mr. Carnahan. You had indicated that the Aigers
property was looking somewhere around ten years out for construction
speculation on your parcel?
Carnahan: We are thinking probably two to ten years we would like to see
construction in that type of timeframe. We have already made commitments to
take a lot of the growing from that nursery and move that to other locations and
so that's commitment is taking place as we speak, so, or the move is taking
place, so we think we could be moving dirt over the next two to three years, but it
would take some time to develop 220 acres,
Rountree: Thank you.
De Weerd: I believe, Mr. Huitt had mentioned 2008 for your project?
Huitt: Yeah, right now when we did our development under the non-farm, this
remaining section has to be in open spaces until 2008. The demand is there as
far as what we have. We have a list of a number of people and as soon as we
are ready to go, you know - so, it's a very high demand, which would be high in
single-family patio homes and those kinds of things.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Nary: Council, any other questions or directions to staff? Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: Mr. President and Mr. Carnahan. Recognizing that currently this area
is in the City of - or at least mostly in the City of Eagle's area of impact, I believe.
Is it not? It's all of this?
De Weerd: Their request is-
Rountree: So, they are a two lender then?
De Weerd: They are a two lender.
Rountree: Okay.
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
May 25, 2004
Page 6 of 21
Carnahan: Yeah, this is all in the county now and Eagle has made a request to
include it in their area of impact.
Bird: It's nobody's impact now?
Carnahan: Correct. That's my understanding.
Nary: Madame Mayor. Oh, is Mr. Rountree done?
Rountree: I am confused on that issue because I thought Chinden was the line
of demarcation and that that was on a map somewhere.
De Weerd: I have a map in my office if you'd like me to share it with you. They
are asking to extend their area of impact from Linder to Black Cat, clear-
Rountree: North of Chinden?
De Weerd: Yes, north of Chinden and then it would kind of squiggle over to
Highway 16, north of the river.
Rountree: Okay.
De Weerd: It is the recommendation of the Ada County planning staff that this
area not be included at this time. So, that's where the Ada County planning
staff's recommendation is.
Rountree: Not being included with the City of Eagle's?
De Weerd: In the City of Eagle's? Or the City of Stars. The City of Star is
looking for the area to Black Cat, so they would go to Black Cat and then Eagle is
asking (inaudible) from Black Cat to Linder.
Rountree: Okay. All right.
De Weerd: Mr. President.
Nary: Madame Mayor.
De Weerd: I guess in talking with our Public Work's staff. They are in the
process since there is - there will be annexation routes to this so they will be
contiguous. They are looking at kind of doing a master plan and if I am wrong,
please tell me - no, really don't.
(Laughter).
De Weerd: -- but they are looking - there is the south east corner of Ten Mile
and Chinden that's being explored and some other property around there. So, if

May 25, 2004
Page 7 of 21
the Council would like to have this area included in some of the master planning
for that area, now would be the best time to master plan it. Is that correct? You
can say no,
Nary: That sounds like a (inaudible) to you, Mr. Watson.
Watson: Thank you, Mr. President, Madame Mayor, Council members. The
south east corner of Ten Mile and Chinden there are at least one developer who
is trying to pursue coming in with a development application and - well, I will
spare you the details. It's not in the right sewer area and they want to pump back
to the other service area. I told them that in order to do that there was another
project that was withdrawn about a year ago that they would have to coordinate
with. When I was telling you about master planning, it was a fairly fine-eyed little
area no more than probably 60 acres on that corner and we didn't anticipate
actually having JUB or somebody like that do a master plan. I was just
anticipating having staff coordinate between the two developers and, I think, one
other parcel that hasn't shown any interest in developing, yet. So, the scope of
what I was intending to do on that corner was fairly limited.
De Weerd: But, it could get bigger.
Watson: With your direction, it certainly could get bigger.
Nary: Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: Mr. President in the discussions that we have had about area of impact
and certainly these things have been spurred by the City of Eagle and the City of
Star. From what I have heard the Council and the Mayor say is we would like to
hear from the property owners and the neighbors and see what they would like to
do. We have had some discussion about whether we can service that area and
staff gave us a presentation several weeks ago as to that we would need to do a
study to further see that happen, but if I remember Brad saying "could be
possible" was not definitive, but could be possible. So, what I am hearing tonight
is that the property owners and the neighbors would like to come in and from my
just brief description that I heard tonight from Mr. Carnahan, would like not only
to do just five-acre parcels, but some of the things that I heard fit into the
comprehensive plan for some of the things that we are seeing in north Meridian
that we have promoting and so, certainly - I am not sure the right direction as to
where to go or how to pursue this, but it appears to me that this could be a fit for
the City of Meridian given some of the things that I have heard about Ada County
and they have recommended taking that out of some of the other areas of
impact. I think it certainly warrants further discussion and the other thing that I
would like to say is the neighbors are not coming in with a specific application
requesting services tomorrow; they would like to know what our timeline is
because I don't think we - or I know we don't have a definitive timeline to give
them right now for service ability, but they are asking not just for sewer services,
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
May 25,2004
Page 8 of 21
but entire city services and would like to be part of our community as a whole.
So, I will put that out for discussion.
Nary: Mr. Carnahan one of the things that I noted in your presentation is that you
said you wanted to - you and the other property owners want to be involved in
the decision-making process and make sure you are talking to the right people
and why, so have you done this presentation to the County?
Carnahan: No.
Nary: Okay. Have you talked to either the City's of Eagle or Star?
Carnahan: Yes, we attended a meeting that was held by the City of Eagle for
planning discussion, but when we attended that a lot of work had been done, but
the people up on the bench where we live, to be honest, hadn't been included in
most of that planning and so it was kind of they acknowledged that yeah we are
kind of late and that was their fault, but we did attend and we provided and raised
the question what about services? Their comment back was that services like
sewers for example, could be handled on multi-agency agreements and that the
political boundaries didn't need to match the sewer boundaries. Maybe there is
some good way to have a city fund sewer systems and all that kind of stuff and
get returns, financial returns from extending it into other city's areas of impacts or
other cities it just seems surprising to me that that would work.
Rountree: Good deduction.
(Laughter).
De Weerd: We are trying to be polite.
Carnahan: Yeah, I was too. I don't know whether I was or not.
Bird: We don't really want to tell you what we think.
Nary: Well, Council I think this is a very good presentation by these property
owners. What would you suggest they do? I think at this juncture - just to sort of
recap where we have been, I think at this point we had recommended or had
commented to the County to study this area thoroughly to make that assessment,
essentially as these property owner's have asked as to where is the most
appropriate area of impact, if any, this property should be in. Obviously, before
we could commit further resources of the City we would have to make that
decision as well as to whether or not we wanted the Public Works Department to
do further study and further modeling to sort of carry out this possibility as to
whether or not it is feasible for the City of Meridian to serve this area at some
point in the future and whether it makes the most sense to us to, instead of
advocating a somewhat neutral position to the County we are really advocating
more with you that this area should become part of the Meridian area of impact.
MerIdian City Pre-Council Meeting

Bird: Mr. President.
Nary: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I will give you my opinion. I feel that this is an ideal area of impact for us. I
feel we can service it if we have to go to lift stations. Everybody else around
here does the service things. This isn't something that they are going to want to
start developing tomorrow. It's something that's down the road and I will certainly
welcome this into our impact area and I think it's the most logical to be in our
impact area. That's my opinion and I would help to do anything we could to get
(inaudible) anything back there.
Rountree: Mr. President.
Nary: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: I am not going to offer my opinion, but it is so nice to have folks come
to Meridian and want to be part of our community. I think we ought to put a hand
out to these folks and take a look at this request and look at the feasibility and be
genuine and upfront with you and let you know what our timeline is, what our
potential costs are, what kind of partnering we might want to do with new
landowners and see if this realistically can happen. I agree with Keith that this
certainly would be an ideal northern boundary for the City of Meridian and it's
consistent with the Fire District and the Recreation District that surrounds us as
well and the library district and a lot of things that are within that boundary.
Nary: Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: Mr. President. I would also agree with comments and as far as from an
action step, I think we need to see some costs from Public Works as far as what
a study would look like, so that we can make good decisions on how to proceed,
but in the interim process, I think to note that this is not a pressure being driven
necessarily upon the City of Meridian by our municipality, but is affecting some of
those municipalities around us. I think it would be good to bring the property
owners because they have obviously organized and come up with a plan and to
have them also contact the County and at least make sort of either a
presentation or a written form and to certainly at this point support at least a
delayed decision on this area from the County so that, again they are
recommending this again at this point, I think it would be - we have already
submitted that we should, I think that it would bring these property owners in to
recommend that a decision be held off until we have all the answers would be
appropriate at this time.
De Weerd: Mr. President.
Nary: Madame Mayor.
(
Meridian City Pre-Council Ivleeting
May 25,2004
Page 10 of 21
De Weerd: I would agree we do have a hearing on Thursday and I think it would
be appropriate for you know - the Eagle area of impact will go to Black Cat and if
the Aigers would like some of this as a part of that discussion, I could also attend
and provide testimony, again to remove this area from the applications until
further information can be sought and if the property owners don't mind then I
would share that we have been approached by the property owners for the
majority share between Linder and for that area of impact in question to come
into Meridian and we likely have already stated in testimony would like to know
who can best service that area in the least amount of time and the least amount
of price to the property owners and that has been our statement to them and I
think it's fair to continue that. I believe that Meridian would be the first to be able
to service that and Eagle's comments are exactly them thinking we would service
it through contract through them and if we are going to provide services it makes
more sense that we would provide all the services and it would be part of our
City.
Nary: It's very typical when politicians say we are not going to give you an
opinion and it sounds an awful lot like an opinion.
De Weerd: I already told them my opinion.
Nary: I guess I looked at it as a couple of steps. Obviously, there are some
short windows that we need to address and I think Madame Mayor suggestion of
participating in the next meeting on this - both for you folks as well as for us to
be a participant in that discussion. I leave it to the Mayor's discretion on having
the same discussion prior to the meeting with the mayor of Eagle. You know,
what we are not giving an opinion is really waving into an issue to this point that
we have taken a fairly neutral position about and I agree with the rest of the
Council members. I think it does make sense that this area - Chinden has been
this artificial line for no reason and it's just a road that happens to be there. It's
not because it made any particular sense of planning ownership, long-range
objectives, and sewer ability. It's just a road and that's it and as we have found
over the years, the roads themselves aren't laid out in some definitive way to
determine which part should be in which city and we have had to address that. I
don't look at the road as a barrier. I think there is some practical sense. I agree
with the Mayor that it doesn't make sense for the City to extend services across
the street from the City to provide service to an area and then have that area be
in another city. It just doesn't make that much sense for us. So, I think that
being said, we probably need to consider in fairly short order some other things
from the staff level as to what would be the cost of doing some analysis to make
that if we are going to make an application or we are going to participate in the
discussion stronger than we have been from the City that this should be in our
area of impact we probably are going to have to understand for all of us what's
that going to take. What's the process for us? How does that impact all of you?
What roles should you folks play and again what's the impact and cost to the
residents for us to do that? So, I think we are going to have to sort of keep that
Meridian City Pre-CouncillV1eeting
May 25, 2004
Page 11 of 21
on our radar. I don't necessarily think we have to make those decisions tonight,
but I think we are going to have to go down that road fairly soon if that's what we
want to do. Unless someone else tells me I am off on my thoughts, I think that's
how we are going to get there. In the short run, I think the Mayor's suggestion is
probably in the immediacy is probably the best way to go, You can have the last
word.
Carnahan: Okay. Well, just to bring clarity to something for my benefit and
maybe your benefit as well. On the issue of you being able to state that you
have been approached by the property owners and they want to be part of
Meridian, the answer is we support that. You can say that publicly or there is no
problem with that issue. So, that's clear. If you would like us to talk to the Mayor
of Eagle and explain our position - that's - we are willing to do that if you
consider that and just - we are willing to do that if you would like us to participate
in the County discussions and have us make a similar presentation we are willing
to do that.
De Weerd: Mr. President.
Nary: Madame Mayor.
De Weerd: I think it's more appropriate that I talk to the Mayor of Eagle and talk
to her about what happened at the meeting tonight and - but, I do think it is
appropriate that you do provide testimony at the County meetings and state your
interest. I guess what I would like to also ask is Council to give some direction to
staff on maybe what the steps necessary would be and give them an idea of
when we would like to hear back on those next steps.
Nary: Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: Mr. President.
Wardle: Brad, what - when do you think it would be possible to give us just a
brief outline of what steps it would take to make - to give the Council and the
Mayor enough (inaudible) to make a decision?
Watson: Councilman Wardle I would undoubtedly speak with JUB on this issue.
It's going to take a little bit more time than it ordinarily would because of what we
have their people working on right now; it's the Black Cat project that we are right
in the middle of - the most intense part of the design. Complicating that is that
we have issued an RFP for the wastewater plant design where we will be
interviewing them and they will be preparing for interviews. All that said, three to
four weeks, probably four would be ideal to get with them, look at what a
proposal would be, look at what the cost for proposal to study this area would be
and bring it back to you.
Wardle: Mr. President.
Meridian City Pre-CouncillV1eeting

Nary: Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: I guess just to be clear the first step would be to talk to them about
doing really a feasibility study. Is that kind of what we are talking about? A
sewer feasibility study? Is that --?
Watson: Right. Councilman Wardle what we would probably do is ask them for
a proposal that's broken into several phases. The first part would be the mere
feasibility of it. Second would be maybe a little more detailed analysis of what
the layout might be, along with that would be cost. So, it would be a phased
approach, probably at each point we would come back to you with a no go, go no
go request from CounciL
Wardle: Mr. President. So, Brad in say four weeks we could have a pretty good
idea of maybe timelines and cost? Is that --?
Watson: Yes, I believe we can.
Wardle: So, would July 6th give you enough time?
Watson: Yes, I think that would be great. Thank you.
Nary: Council is everyone comfortable with that if we ask Mr. Watson - Ms.
Powell is not here right now, but I think we will probably want some input from the
planning staff as well as to the same issues; feasibility, what the process would
be from the City's perspective. I think we are going to do some other things in
the meantime, but July 6th if Council is all right with that.
Rountree: Fine with me.
Nary: Is that going to work, Mr. Watson?
Watson: Yes, it will thank you,
De Weerd: Mr, President.
Nary: Madame Mayor.
De Weerd: Just to clarify for the property owners, staff will come back July 6th
detailing the next steps for what we need to do to plan for this area and see the
feasibility and sewer-ability. Is that correct?
Affirmative,
De Weerd: Okay.

Item 4.
Sewer Service Discussion by Ralph Perez of Briarwood
Corporation:
Nary: If you recall, this is from a couple of weeks ago. Mr. Perez is here and if I
recall correctly and maybe somebody remembers this better. I think Mr. Perez
did make his presentation about this area north of Chinden as well off of Meridian
Road area and I think we basically said come back in a couple of weeks while we
think about it. So, I don't recall we gave any other direction than that, so if we did
I don't recall. Did we give you more direction? I didn't think we did. I think we
said we'd think about it and -
Perez: Mr. President, Madame Mayor first of all let me just say thank you for
allowing us to come back again. I am glad I got to hear the last testimony, but
probably would be more confident if I was up first tonight than second. I think
there is obviously some overlapping issues there. As I understand it, I was to
come back in two weeks with trying to get some more details. The Mayor had
asked me to write her a letter, spelling out a little bit in more detail what I am
proposing. I did attempt to get a hold of the Mayor to ask a couple of questions,
but I know the schedule is been real busy and it came right down to the end here,
so I didn't get you that letter, but I did provide to the Council and the Mayor a
(
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
May 25, 2004
Page 14 of 21
copy of the agreement that the Eagle Sewer District has with the City of Boise
and since I am not an expert in how this is actually going to work out when you
ask me for more detail, I am thinking okay, I have got to go get that detail from
somewhere else because I don't have that information myself, so that agreement
I think had a lot of the information that will be helpful in it. Also, I did - we did
meet with JUB Engineering in order to get a proposal from them that would give
us an idea of the costs involved in doing the study to determine whether or not
it's feasible for you to service this area. I believe you have a copy of that
proposal from JUB as well. Can I add that in lieu of the previous conversation
that you just had with the area north of Chinden, it seems clear that in general
you are not inclined to provide services unless, you know, it is your area and you
are going to be providing all the services. I would like to point out the differences
between what we are proposing and the issues that are west of Linder. First of
all the Linley family and the properties that we are discussing here are already in
Eagle's area of impact. If not, we would have been standing right here with these
other folks tonight, suggesting the same thing. I am sure the Linley's - you know
they have been trying to develop their property now for many, many years and
wish they would have been able to have the opportunity not to be in the Eagle's
area of impact today if they had that option. So, we understand why the other
folks are trying to get a head of the curve here, they don't want to be in the same
boat that we are in currently. The other issue is that the City of Eagle provides
no services for sewer. It's the Eagle Sewer District that provides these services.
The Eagle Sewer District does not go west of Linder Road. The area that you
are discussing with these property owners does not fall within their area of impact
or even in their future planning area. It goes to Linder, drops off the bench, pretty
much goes along the boundaries, I believe, of the area - if I could see the map I
was seeing here pretty well skirts around the north of it. So they are not even in
this area. Maybe that's a point for discussion that in an agreement that we
drafted, perhaps there could be some agreement that they would not requested
to expand their area into that area. That's something that could be open for
negotiation. So having said that the proposal that we got from JUB to determine
whether or not you had any additional capacity in the north slew trunk line, I
believe Brad is it - or is that what we are asking for in Linder Road -- there is two
proposed ways to do it, but either way the cost is a little over $9,000, close to
$10,000 I believe, which is a cost that - a little over $9,000 is a cost that we, the
undeveloped property owners in this affected area are willing to pay to determine
whether or not you have that capacity. It would be either way we would have to
have a lift station to pump it across Chinden either near Meridian Road or at
Linder Road depending on which of the two ways we would end up having to
sewer it. So, politically I know we are in kind of a strange quagmire here. I was
hoping not to have to be in that, but I saw it coming. Again, I think there are
significant differences that would not affect your negotiations with the County. I
believe that it makes perfect sense that the area - in fact I think that this is a fine
example of why the area north of Chinden, west of Linder Road should be in
Meridian's area of impact. It's obvious that the City of Eagle is not in a position to
provide the services, the environmental services that are going to be required to
service that area, nor has there been any plans to even address, providing that
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
May 25, 2004
Page 15 of 21
they don't have the district that doesn't go out there, they don't have the planning
in place for future ability to service that area. So, the only hope that Meridian
would have to service that area is if they came to you and - the City of Eagle,
excuse me - and had an agreement directly with you to service their City in that
area, This is a completely different issue. This is the Sewer District asking you
to provide sewer treatment for their current area. I hope that's a significant
enough difference and maybe we can be helpful in your negotiation and we
would be more than happy to testify as to the problems that we have had in trying
to develop in this area because we are in fact in an area that does not have
services.
Nary: Council, is there questions or comments for Mr. Perez? I guess my
comment is that, you know, I agree with you I think it is different. I mean the
situation with the other areas that are served by the City of Boise is really just
essentially selling a commodity. They are selling space in the sewer treatment
plant. They are not extending service. They don't extend lines. They don't
extend anything. All they do is they allow someone outside the City limits to hook
a line - hook their line up to the City sewer line. They meter that line. They
basically - they count the billing from that meter and they just bill for the services.
They are just selling capacity and that is different from what the other
homeowners are asking. I think based on the comment of the prior property
owner, that's essentially what it sounds like Eagle was telling them if they
(inaudible). I wasn't there, but it sounds from his testimony that's what they were
telling them is you can be in our area of impact, just like the area you are
representing here and you can go essentially pay for capacity in the Meridian
Wastewater Treatment Plant and go get sewer service that way and we don't
have to provide it to you. So, I agree with you. I think it is different. I think the
issue before the Council here is do we want to get into that business and if we
do, what's that going to take? We didn't - we specifically didn't ask Mr. Watson
to tell us that in two weeks, so I think we need to know, Council, do you want to
do that? I think the last comment I recall at the last meeting was we are already
working to serve our area of impact now; do we want to get into the business of
doing this at the same time? That's, I guess the group's decision. Madame
Mayor you look anxious to make a -
De Weerd: No.
Rountree: You just look anxious. Mr. President.
Nary: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: I think you stated it quite well in what Meridian is undertaking and has
planned to do over the last number of years, not just recently; but we have
planned to accommodate our area of impact. We have sized our package plan
accordingly and as you heard earlier, we have yet another RFP out for an
additional improvement and expansion of that facility and we also have additional
folks who want to become part of the City of Meridian; if that happens we have to
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
May 25,2004
Page 16 of 21
figure out how to accommodate them. I am not - I was going to say
uninterested, but that's not true I am interested in the plight of the folks that you
are representing and yourself, but I am not sure that I am ready to have the City
of Meridian become a merchant of capacity within our Wastewater Treatment
facility.
Perez: Mr. President.
Nary: Mr. Perez.
Perez: Thank you. I understand that. I guess I would just state that the nature
of this agreement is very limited. You are under no obligation to enter into any
other agreements of this kind. It's a very specific area and it's a very low density
of houses. We are looking at 300 to 350 homes; that's not a lot of capacity, but it
would mean a big difference to the Linley's and if they have an opportunity, Mr.
Linley would like to say something this evening if - I know we are running late
here. I guess what we are asking is obviously what we need in order to even
proceed to determine whether you have got the capacity is the authorization from
the Council to allow JUS to use your 2003 modeling information to accomplish
our study. So, that's what we are asking for here this evening and] will just leave
it at that if I may unless there are other questions and if Mr. Linley could say
something.
Nary: Just one more thing -
(Turn tape over)
Nary: I guess I don't have as big an opposition to your proposal. When I look at,
I guess - if you folks were - if you and your clients were standing here saying our
systems have failed and we need it. We just don't have the ability to rebuild
these systems that we have now and we need it. That's why the City of Boise
got into that business of selling that capacity was to basically deal with the health
and safety of the community. We probably - the discussion would be different.
You just happened to be here early before your systems failed and that's okay,
that's good, What I guess I am not willing to do is commit the City of Meridian's
resources to studying your proposal. But, I think you are asking us to commit
your own.
Perez: That is correct, Mr. President.
Nary: Study this proposal, see whether or not this agreement and then basically,
I think what we would be asking our staff is would this essentially capacity sale,
would this detract from our ability to carry out our sewer master plan? Would this
somehow speed our capacity up sooner than we anticipated? Would it then
hinder our ability to serve within our community and within our boundaries, would
this somehow impact the necessity of building on to the treatment plant sooner?
And if it is so, what's that cost and what's that cost going to be to the other
(
Meridian City Pre-Councillv1eeting
May 25, 2004
Page 17 of 21
users? How are we going to recoup that through this agreement with you folks?
But, I guess for me to study it, to see whether or not it makes some practical
sense and what the cost would be to the City, I don't have any aversion to that. I
think having that information gives us at least something to make a better
decision on. I don't, at least for me, I don't feel like I have enough information to
say no.
Perez: Thank you, Mr. President. That is correct. The only, I guess to be really
straight forward about it, there would be a need from time to time as JUB was
doing their running their calculations, there would be a need to discuss their
progress with Mr. Watson and make sure that they are making the right choices.
So, some consultation time of your staff - a very limited amount, would be
required with consultation with JUB. To that extent there may be some
resources, but the financial resources and the major work would be all done by
ourselves and JUs.
Wardle: Mr. President.
Nary: Mr. Wardle,
Wardle: Just a comment. While I understand and what Mr. Nary said sounds
reasonable, I feel - I certainly don't want to send a group of people out to spend
resources studying an issue that we are addressing even within our own city.
We have had individuals that are property owners come and ask us when they
are going to be able to receive city services and they are within our area of
impact and so at that level I am not as comfortable saying go out and do a study
and bring it back. I am not sure that the result is going to help that much at this
point and time. That's my opinion.
Rountree: Mr. President.
Nary: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: I am not opposed to having the study moved forward. I just want you
all to know that at least from my perspective that I am not inclined to be
favorable, though my mind is not made up, it's pretty close. So, you know, don't
go into it with rose colored glasses thinking that my 9 or 10 thousand dollar
investment is going to get me in because - (inaudible----). Just to be fair,
Perez: Mr. President, Madame Mayor.
Nary: Certainly, go ahead Mr. Perez.
Perez: I understand that, I guess the idea would be that if the study did not
determine any negative impact on the City of Meridian and it's ability to grow into
the future that I guess I'm (inaudible) in being able to move forward is that there
is a reasonable possibility to utilize any capacity that is there, again, that if
!
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting

provided your staff makes the determination that there is no negative impact to
your community, If there were negative impact found, then obviously you need to
decide accordingly.
Bird: Mr. President.
Nary: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I agree with Shaun and Charlie to a degree, not 100 percent, but the
problem I see out there is the impact and stuff isn't going - and like Charlie says,
if you go spend 9 or 10 pounder there is no guarantee. I have a problem
servicing other cities' impact area, the same as I would have other sewer districts
or water districts coming in and servicing our area. I think it's like Mr. Wardle
said we have got a tremendous amount of our own impact area that has been
our impact area for years that we are not ready to service and there are
developers out there wanting to develop it. I think that we have to look at that.
Now, if you get out of the Eagle impact area, like the proposal was brought to us
before, hey (inaudible----). This is one guy to take a good hard look at it.
Rountree: This is one guy that would take a real hard look at that too. I am sure
the Linley's would be jumping for joy.
Bird: I think we are just doing some things that probably isn't - we shouldn't be
doing at this point; stepping on other municipalities' toes and their impact area.
We would not like them stepping on our toes. We have had that done to us. We
don't like it. We have got a thing coming up before us right now that another
municipality is trying to take some stuff away from one of our taxing entities. I am
like Mr. Rountree, you can go do that, but make sure you understand that there is
no guarantee that we are going to do it. If you spend your 10 thousand dollars,
there is not guarantee that this guy going to vote for it.
Wardle: Mr. President.
Nary: Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: I would just like to follow up on something that Mr. Perez says and said.
That was that if the study determined that the staff level that there wasn't any
negative impact that you would assume that you could proceed forward with that
process and well, not in my opinion, but in fact, that's a policy decision
determined by this Council, not a staff level decision that if there aren't or doesn't
appear to be any negative impact based on modeling that it will automatically
happen. I just again wanted to - before any resources or time is spent that it is a
policy decision that will come from Council.
Perez: Mr. President, Madame Mayor.
Nary: Mr. Perez.

Perez: I appreciate that, Mr. Wardle. Mr. Bird, I just would add one comment to
what you had said, I agree with 100 percent of with what you said, however, if
the City of Eagle was not in favor of this agreement in order to sewer their area,
in other words in realizing that the City of Eagle is not part of this sewer district,
but if they were also to step forward and say hey we don't have a problem with
this then would that tend to alleviate your concern with regards to stepping on
anybody's toes? Because I believe that and maybe Madame Mayor could raise
this issue in her conversations with the Mayor of Eagle. They would like to have
our development. Obviously it's going to be their tax base, whether you provide
the service or don't and they want to see the development occur realizing that
this is really the only way that it can occur. So, I think they would be very much
in favor of that.
Bird: Well, I am like Mr. Rountree; I'd have an open mind on that. A lot more
open at that point than it is right now.
Perez: Thank you.
Nary: Yeah, Mr. Perez you were reading my mind. I was going to ask the Mayor
to see if she wanted to add this to her agenda to discuss with Mayor Merrill.
De Weerd: I have a growing list.
Nary: And to at least get their feedback because obviously we aren't in the
business of stepping on other people's toes, We don't like it. Other entities don't
like it and we are not wanting to do that. I don't think we probably could make it
any clearer that you know we are willing to let you spend your money, but a year
from now you are standing here saying we spent 10 thousand dollars studying
this you have got to do this for us, we are not promising we are going to do
anything.
Perez: I promise I won't stand here and tell you that you got to do anything
today.
Nary: Well, we record all these meetings and we will remember that we said that
to you. I am sure that we will make sure to bring that back up to you, but if you
want to proceed and study that I certainly don't have an objection and I am not
hearing a boisterous objection from the rest of this Council to go ahead and
make that study. Am I reading that correctly, Council is that all right? With that
caveat that we have given you if you want to study that and get with our staff
when it's at their convenience to be able to work that in, I think Mr. Watson is
pretty busy, but to work that in with what they got to do they've got to do they
certainly will work with you.
Perez: Okay.

Nary: Is that a fair assessment, Mr. Watson at your schedule?
Watson: Yes it is Mr. President. The only thing that Mr. Perez is asking is that
we allow him and his consultant to use our work product, which is the sewer
model and unless you have any objections I will release JUB to use that.
Nary: I think that's okay.
Watson: Thank you.
Nary: Mr. Smith did you have any thought that you wanted to add to that before
we are done? You can always make a comment later,
Smith: Mr. President, Mayor and Council members I guess it's just an issue that
we need to look at for that whole area between Chinden and the bluff. You
know, I don't want to - I understand what Mr. Perez's issue is and his objective
and the other property owners that came before you earlier this evening, but it
seems like the whole area needs to be looked at really hard as far as sewer
services are concerned. The other thing that always is in the back of my mind is
the length of time that it takes to develop treatment capacity at the wastewater
plant as compared to the length of time it takes to develop a subdivision with a lift
station and a pressure line and those two things are apples and oranges. As
Councilman Bird said, we are trying to keep some excess capacity at the plant
for the properties that we presently have within our area of impact that can be
served, such as the Black Cat trunk extension area. So, we really got some
multiple balls in the area you might say and I really need to be careful about how
we proceed and that we do it in a group effort in a larger area so we don't
continually have to address these individual projects. JUB's well versed in our
plan, they developed it for us. I know that will be upper most in their mind, but I
just wanted to kind of reiterate that. Thank you.
Rountree: Thanks, Gary.
Nary: Thank you. I don't want to cut off Mr. Linley if he would like to have a few
moments that certainly fine before we are done.
Perez: Thank you very much.
Linley: My name is Tio Linley. I live at 4125 Harbor Point, Meridian. I just
wanted to thank you. It's a tough situation when your landowner. My family
bought this property in 1958 and he is getting up in the years now and trying to
retire and we just hit a lot of things that we couldn't get through with Eagle City. I
won't say it's a last resort, but it's - we appreciate you looking at this and I really
even though the people that maybe were in front of us, I understand where they
are coming from and I certainly wish we could have done that and got ahead of
the curve knowing what we know now. I can tell you that to answer you, you are
right there is a problem area - everything out there. As near as we can tell there

is no answer. There is no place for us to go, so [ thank you for the opportunity
and just hearing us today. Thank you.
Nary: Thank you. Council, we are at the end of our agenda if you would make a
motion to adjourn.
Rountree: So moved.
Bird: Second.

Meridian City Council Meetinq
May 25, 2004.
The regular meeting of the Meridian City Council was called to order at 7:15 P.M.,
Tuesday, May 25, 2004, by Mayor Tammy de Weerd.
Members Present: Mayor Tammy de Weerd, William Nary, Keith Bird, Charlie Rountree
and Shaun Wardle.
Staff Present: Bill Nichols, Tara Green, Brad Hawkins-Clark, Brad Watson, Bill Musser,
Gary Smith, Kenny Bowers, Doug Strong, and Dean Willis,
Item 1:
Roll-call Attendance:
Roll call.
X Shaun Wardle
X Charlie Rountree
X
X Bill Nary
X Keith Bird
Mayor Tammy de Weerd
De Weerd: Okay, I will go ahead and call the City Council regular meeting of May 25th
to order. It is 7:15. We will begin with roll call attendance.
Item 2:
Pledge of Allegiance:
De Weerd: Thank you. Item NO.2 is our pledge of allegiance and tonight we have
Commander Vallerie with the American Legion Post 113. What more appropriate can
we -- how more appropriate than election day to have the post -- or the color guard
leading us in our pledge and posting the flags. So, Commander Vallerie, if you will,
please, join us,
(Pledge of Allegiance recited.)
Item 3:
Community Invocation by Ray AllenJ Chaplain for American Legion:
Allen: Dear Lord, as we gather here tonight for the Mayor's proclamation of Poppy Day,
let us not forget the sacrifices made by our military fighting in the defense of freedom
worldwide. Lord, as our organization, the American Legion and the American Legion
Auxiliary goes back over half a century and is composed of veterans for four great wars,
plus the Gulf War and soon veterans will be added to our roles from Afghanistan and
Iraq, Lord, will you are direct us as members of this great organization to do our part to
honor our fallen comrades, to promote Americanism, to promote Veterans programs for
our veterans and to promote programs for the youth of the community of nations. Lord,
truly the poppy is a fitting symbol for the servicemen. Its birthplace was Flanders,
Belgium, in World War I. The poppy seeds in the soil, the fiercer the fighting the more
the poppies grew. Lord, we ask you blessing on our members of this nation and grant
them the American Legion and the American Legion Auxiliary may always do your will,
in thy name we pray, Amen,
Meridian City Council
May 25, 2004
Page 2 of 59
Item 4:
Proclamation for American Legion Poppy Day proclaimed Saturday,
May 29, 2004:
De Weerd: I will read the proclamation for the American Legion. It's Poppy Day on
Saturday, May 29th, and I can't tell you how much this means. We had the ESGR at
our meeting last a week and this week. What a great way to celebrate before Memorial
Day. So, J will read this proclamation. Whereas the members of the American Legion
Auxiliary are asking everyone to wear a poppy in observance of Memorial Day and
whereas in the battlefields of Belgium during World War I poppies grew wild amid the
ravages of war, the overturned soils of battle enabled the poppy seeds to be covered,
allowing them to grow and forever serve as a reminder of the bloodshed of war and
whereas the poppy honors the hospitalized and disabled veterans who make these red
handcrafted flowers, providing financial and therapeutic benefits and whereas the
displaying of the poppy honors the millions of Americans who have willingly served and
are currently serving our nation, as well as all too many would have made the ultimate
sacrifice, therefore, I, Tammy de Weerd, Mayor of the City of Meridian, do hereby
proclaim Saturday, May 29th, 2004, as American Legion Poppy Day in recognition of
the sacrifices of our veterans and those serving our country today by honoring these
brave men and women, dated this 25th day of May, 2004. I present it to Kay Vallerie.
Thank you. Thanks to the American Legion for joining us tonight.
Item 5:
Adoption of the Agenda:
De Weerd: Okay. Item NO.5 is adoption of the agenda.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird,
Bird: I would -- we have got a couple of requests here to -- to take Items 9, 10, and 11
and move them to June 8th, 2004, and I do need a number on the resolution in the
Consent Agenda. It's 04 --
De Weerd: 434.
Bird: -- 434. And with that I would move that we accept the revised agenda.
Hawkins-Clark: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Hawkins-Clark.
Hawkins-Clark: I'm sorry, staff didn't get a chance to raise this, but on Item No. 12 and
13, staff would also prefer to have a little more time. There was an item -- an issue that
came up on that last week, which neither myself, nor Mr. McKinnon from Pinnacle were
here at last week's meeting, so we'd prefer to have it deferred, if all possible, for a week
Meridian City Council

to review the minutes. I have talked with him and he's in agreement with that, if the
Council so agrees.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.

Item 7:
Department Reports:
A. Planning and Zoning Department
1. Discussion of Draft DA with Lamont Kouba and Robnett
Construction, Inc.:
De Weerd: Okay. Item 7 is Department Reports. Item A from the Planning Zoning and
Department. We will begin with item one.
Hawkins-Clark: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. You should have
received in your packet a brief summary on a development agreement that has been
kind of out there pending adoption for -- for several years now. This came through the
city as a Conditional Use Permit a couple of years ago under the project name Bobby's
Transmission and at that time -- this is property on the south side of Fairview, just
immediately south of Ultra Touch Car Wash. There is a little over two acres that's
vacant back there. When that application came through a couple of years ago, it was
discovered that a development agreement was required of the city in '97. Mr. LaMont
Kouba, who was the property owner and remains the property owner today, that was
never entered into, never executed. In order for any development to occur on that two-
acre piece back there, the annexation, essentially, requires that a development
Meridian City Council
May 25, 2004
Page 5 of 59
agreement be entered into. So, the reason Mr. Nichols and I had discussed putting this
on the agenda tonight was, essentially, to make the Council aware that we were
proposing this to be put on your Consent Agenda next week, just for adoption, as other
standard development agreements are, but because you hadn't seen it as part of an
annexation or a rezone recently, we just wanted to make you aware that -- the
background of why it was on your -- or why it will be, hopefully, on your Consent
Agenda and the reason that it's come before us right now is Robnett Construction is in
the process of purchasing that property and would like to get a building permit going.
They are also pending a preliminary plat approval or application with Planning and
Zoning right now, which you would see that in several weeks. The main issue, really, in
the development agreement -- a lot of standard language, but it relates to parking stalls
that Ultra Touch Car Wash was required to provide that are, actually, now on this parcel
that is not owned by Ultra Touch Car Wash and the agreement, basically, requires that
this -- that this property to the south provide cross-access and cross-parking for 11
stalls in order to help Ultra Touch Car Wash meet their Conditional Use Permit
requirement for off-street parking. The previous applicant was unable to come to an
agreement with Ultra Touch on that. My understanding is that Robnett is able to
accommodate that and they want proceed. So, I think that's kind of the summary to it. I
guess if the Council's in support of this, we would proceed to put it on the Consent
Agenda in the upcoming meetings.
De Weerd: Council, do you have any questions? Okay.
Nary: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Nary.
Nary: So, if I'm just -- so I'm clear, Brad, what you're saying is the requirement was to
have a development agreement, there was some requirement for cross-access dealing
with Ultra Touch -- we have got something like that is what they want to bring forward,
we just have a different property owner than what it was originally required of and that
Bobby's Transmission is no longer -- obviously, moved somewhere else, because they
are now on Meridian Road --
Hawkins-Clark: Right.
Nary: -- with a different property owner, but we are still accomplishing what was
originally intended, just with different players?
Hawkins-Clark: Correct. Actually, Councilman Nary, the players are -- in terms of Mr.
Kouba, is the same.
Nary: Okay.
Hawkins-Clark: But the developer is different.
Meridian City Council
May 25, 2004
Page 6 of 59
Nary: Okay, I don't have any objection to go ahead and bringing that forward.
Rountree: Go ahead and finalize it.
Hawkins-Clark: Great. Thank you,
De Weerd: Okay, Anything further on this item?
2. Discussion of waiver of Appeal fee for Steve
Christianson:
De Weerd: Okay. Brad, I believe the next item is also yours,
Hawkins-Clark: Right. I guess I can give just a brief overview of what I understand. I
have to plead a little bit of ignorance on this one, The Planning Director Mrs. Powell is
out, so I'm kind of pinch-hitting here tonight, but, essentially, as I understand it, I believe
the -- Mr. Christianson is here tonight and would like to speak to this matter.
De Weerd: He was --
Hawking-Clark: In Bridgetower Crossing -- I'm sorry.
De Weerd: I'm sorry.
Hawkins-Clark: In Bridgetower Crossing there was a fence waiver application that was
submitted to the city to receive a waiver to the 20 foot setback for a six foot fence along
a public street that was submitted by Christine Klose and that fence waiver was -- there
was an opposition letter submitted by a couple of neighbors, in particular, Steve
Christianson, who opposed the variance, saying that the 20 foot should be maintained,
The way that the code is written, fence waivers now, if there is opposition, there is a
hearing that is held, but it's only held -- it's by the planning and zoning administrator and
a representative from the police department and one other person, I believe. That
hearing was scheduled. Mr. Christianson was unable to attend. The hearing
proceeded, the waiver was granted. At this point Mr. Christianson would like to appeal
the decision of that committee, of the fence waiver committee, that granted the appeal.
So, the item for you tonight, as I understand it -- and, Madam Mayor, if you have had
discussions, maybe you could fill me in on this, but it's not to discuss the appeal itself,
it's to discuss a fee that Mr. Christianson was told by our department was -- there was
some confusion about whether or not he would be charged a fee to appeal this decision.
He did pay a 150-dollar fee for an appeal to our department and is seeking the Council's
permission to basically have the fee waived in order to appeal it. So, I think I'll stop right
there in case I have got a few facts wrong, because I was just updated today on that,
but that's basically my understanding
De Weerd: No, Brad, I think you did a good job and I'm sure Mr. Christianson can fill in
any holes, but he did submit his appeal letter within the appeal time frame and he was
Meridian City Council
May 25, 2004
Page 7 of 59
told he needed to pay an appeal fee, which he didn't understand at the time the hearing
was made for the fence variance. He had submitted a letter and he felt if he knew that
there was a fee, he would have asked that that meeting be delayed, rather than just
submit a letter. So, is Mr. Christianson here? Okay. Please join us.
Christianson: I'm Steve Christianson. I live in the Bridgetower Subdivision. Thanks for
taking the time to listen to me. I know I have spoken to you Mayor Weerd and -- de
Weerd. I'm sorry. And--
De Weerd: I'm weird.
Nary: She gets that all the time.
Christianson: You guys aren't recording this on TV anywhere?
De Weerd: It is on public record --
Bird: It's on public record.
De Weerd: -- what you just called me, so --
Nary: Watch the 10:00 o'clock news.
Christianson: Let's just strike that reference from the -- strike that from the record here.
The reason for my request of the appeal fee waiver -- or the appeal fee -- he explained
it very well, that we were notified of this Public Hearing on the 22nd, I received a letter in
the mail on the 22nd of April, and [ actually called down to the Planning and Zoning
Commission on the 23rd and spoke to Sonya Allen and she said that, you know, I'd
have to speak to Anna Powell about getting the Public Hearing date changed. She first
told me that it could not be changed, because I was out -- I was going to be out of the
country and also my neighbor Kent Scott was also going to be out of town that day, so it
wasn't plans that we could really change on -- especially when we only had about eight
days notice that the hearing was going to be held on April 30th. So, I called Anna and
asked her if it could be changed. She, actually, called me back, left me a voice mail
saying it could not be changed, the dates could not be changed, and that if we wanted
to appeal the decision, then, we could appear in person during the appeal time -- or
appeal hearing and make our case at that time and at no time on that message she
would never say that we had to pay a 150 dollar fee and if I would have known that, I
would have asked -- I would have gone up the ladder a little bit more to have that date
changed. I, actually, even spoke to Tara Green today and she said she never received
a request about any date being changed. So, it made me believe that the date could
have been changed. I feel that the Public Hearing was held and folks who submitted
the application for this fence waiver were present and there is a number of people who
are opposing it. Actually, even got a letter of -- a petition letter signed by the close
attending neighborhoods in the neighborhood that opposes the fence waiver as well. I
just feel that we didn't get our -- excuse the phrase, but we didn't get our time in court to
Meridian City Council
May 25, 2004
Page 8 of 59
present our case in front of anybody and, you know, they heard one side and didn't hear
the other side and I think you all know, as well as I do, that spoken word is a lot better
than written word, it has a little bit more -- a little bit more -- you know, holds a little bit
more than just writing a letter and submitting it. So, for that reason I would request that
the 150 dollar fee that I paid would be waived in this case, just because we -- if I would
have known that this fee would have been paid, I would have pushed a little bit more to
get the Public Hearing date changed,
De Weerd: Council, any comments? Questions?
Nary: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: So, I guess I'm still not clear. Did you pay a fee?
Christianson: Uh-huh.
Nary: And you paid a fee to have the hearing?
Bird: No.
Christianson: No. I paid the fee -- I had to pay the fee in order to bring this before you
today.
Nary: Okay.
Christianson: And it --
Nary: You want your 150 dollars back.
Christianson: Yeah. Yeah.
De Weerd: And to appeal.
Christianson: And to appeal. Because we never got to make our case in the first place.
No one was able to be present that day. We were only given eight days notice when
the Public Hearing was going to be held. I couldn't -- I was out of the country. I couldn't
change it, it was for work, and he had a weeklong trip planned.
Nary: Did I understand from Mr. Hawkins-Clark, though, that you submitted written
information as to what our opposition was?
Christianson: Yes, we did.
Meridian City Council
May 25, 2004
Page 9 of 59
Nary: Okay. J know we are not here about the appeal itself, but was there some order
or something issued to you? Did they give you something in writing explaining why they
decided whatever they decided?
Christianson: Yeah. Well, they didn't -- J had to request it.
Nary: Okay, But they did prepare something in writing explaining why they decided
whatever they decided?
Christianson: Yeah, but there was nothing on there about the appeal process or
anything like that.
Nary: I understand. But in that information doesn't it say they considered the
information you did provide?
Christianson: Yeah. They considered it -- I mean I have talked to -- my brother's a city
manager down in Bakersfield, he's involved with City Council meetings all the time, and
he has talked to other people and they said, you know, if you're there in person to argue
your case, it's a lot better than not being present. It makes a big difference. And I
believe that firmly.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Mr. Christianson, you have got a petition here by ten people,
Christianson: Uh-huh.
Bird: Now, all ten of them were out of the country or on vacation or something when
this Public Hearing was --
Christianson: No, Me and Kent Scott were. And I don't know what everyone else's --
Bird: Why couldn't they have come and testified?
Christianson: I think because me and Kent are the two most affected by this, because
we live nearest to the property,
Bird: Okay.
Christianson: Yeah,
Bird: Understand.
Meridian City Council
May 25, 2004
Page 10 of 59
De Weerd: So, the issue in front of you today is to -- is a waiver of the appeal fee, so
they can decide what they would like to do.
Christianson: Yes.
De Weerd: And I don't have the authority to waive fees, so that's why it's in front of you.
Rountree: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: Maybe Brad can brief us on the ordinance, the notification period established
in the ordinance, and when and where and why fees are to be assessed.
Hawkins-Clark: Councilman, I'm sorry, was the question why the fees are assessed?
Rountree: No. When and why are fees assessed as the language of the ordinance
states and what kind of notification period does the notice provide.
Hawkins-Clark: Well, on the first matter, you know, the fee would be assessed for an
appeal, essentially, for the processing -- staff time to process the appeal to provide the
research to the Council, write up a report, and to pay for the -- you know, essentially, to
pay for that processing time. The time period on a fence waiver is different than other
public hearings and the notice is sent to all property owners within 200 feet of the
property and the recipients have 15 days to respond in writing and if an opposition letter
is received, then, a hearing is set. [f an opposition letter is not received, then, it's the
decision of the planning and zoning administrator to either approve, deny, or approve
with conditions. Does that get to your question?
Rountree: Well, it just creates a couple more questions. There, obviously, was a letter
of opposition sent. Did that trigger the eight-day notification period? [s there a period of
time after a hearing is triggered that has to transpire before the hearing is held?
Hawkins-Clark: Yes, there is.
Rountree: Okay,
Hawkins-Clark: Let's see. That is in Section 12-4-10. If the administrator receives
objections, they schedule a hearing no later than seven days. When a hearing is
scheduled, notice of the hearing shall be mailed to the applicant and any person who
has filed objection no later than seven days prior to the hearing.
Christianson: If I may add, if that's the case, I -- we made -- I mailed our appeal letter
on April 1 st. We didn't receive notice until the 22nd. I have my letter that I sent to them,
the original letter, and [ also have the date of the appeal letter. The appeal letter was
the on -- [ mean of the notice of Public Hearing. The date showed April 20th and we
Meridian City Council
May 25. 2004
Page 11 of 59
received it in the mail on the 22nd. So, unless I'm misunderstanding, it wasn't within the
seven days as well.
Rountree: I think the understanding -- Madam Mayor? The understanding is that you
receive notice and had it a minimum of seven days.
Christianson: Oh, a minimum, Okay. I'm sorry. I misunderstood there.
Rountree: So--
Nary: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Brad, I know -- and I know this is putting you on the spot, so it's good for you to
fill in tonight. It appears to me from what you have read that the city did comply with the
time limits in the ordinance; is that correct? At least from what you have read. I know --
I know you haven't had a lot of time to look at it, but it appears from the timing of these
things, the hearing was set eight days out from when this notice was received, it was,
actually, ten days from when the letter was sent. It requires to set it at least seven days
beyond and the Jaw only requires five.
Hawkins-Clark: Right.
Nary: For court notices, anyway. So, is there -- is there a method in there to request
an extension or whether or not that's a discretionary decision on the part of the
administrator or does it even speak to it at all.
Hawkins-Clark: I do not believe the fence waiver chapter of Title 12 addresses that.
Nary: Okay. I guess for me, Mr. Christianson, you know, if the process was followed
and what you told me was that the information you received was that -- the information
you provided was considered, then, at least for me I don't have -- I don't have any
reason to agree to waive the fee.
Christianson: Okay.
Nary: If it's a process you don't agree with and you don't agree with the outcome, the
process is an appeal.
Christianson: Sure,
Nary: But to waive the fee for the appeal when we have followed all the process that
the code requires, because you couldn't personally be there, isn't good enough,
Meridian City Council
May 25, 2004
Page 12 of 59
Christianson: Okay. If I may add, if it's all right, I spoke with Anna Powell and Sonya
Allen from the Planning and Zoning Commission several times and I wanted to know
about the appeal process -- or the process of the public hearing and everything and
they said I'd receive a notice in the mail and that's when I received this notice on the
22nd. I understand that the fire chief and the Planning and Zoning Commission and the
applicant for the fence waiver, their schedules were all checked and none of the
opposition -- the opponents to this matter, their schedule was not checked. I just
thought it would have been fair to have everybody's schedule checked, because I had a
Powerpoint presentation ready to present at this Public Hearing, there was a lot of
people who were planning to attend that were on this petition. This petition,
unfortunately, wasn't able to be submitted, because I was told I could bring people with
me to the Public Hearing. Now, when I found out that the Public Hearing was made on
April 30th, I immediately called the next day and I asked and the way it came across to
me that there was no chance of it being changed and] thought it should be a little bit
more fairer process to have -- you know, try to find a -- you know, a compromise to have
both me and Mr. Scott attend the hearing, because not only, number one, this is a
safety issue that we are dealing with on the -- a corner lot, it also deals with, you know --
you know, being able to be, you know, in a fair situation to be able to present our case
and I thought that was taken away from us by not allowing the date to be changed. So,
that's why I'm a little bit insistent about this. If I would have known -- from the very
beginning she never mentioned to me -- she even put in her e-mail that she put to me,
which I have a copy of it here, she said I'm sorry about the confusion and
misunderstanding we had, because they failed to mention to me about -- they
mentioned to me everything about the appeal process, except for the 150 dollars.
That's why I said, okay, I'm not going to worry about getting the Public Hearing date
changed. I mean I said, okay, I can make my case on an appeal. But I wasn't given the
opportunity to do it when the other people were given the opportunity. All I'm asking for
is a fair opportunity to present my case without paying a fee, because the people who
submitted the application for the fence waiver got that right and I didn't.
Nary: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I guess, Mr. Christianson, I'm certainly not trying to say that -- at least for me to
make any judgment as to whether or not the process was appropriate or whether or not
you had a full and fair hearing or all of those things. The issue -- all that we have is
whether or not we should waive the fee. At this juncture, you haven't given at least me
enough to waive the fee. The purpose of the fee is to get the staff work done for us to
able to -- assist us in making a decision. That has to be done regardless of what your
position is. At the end of the day, ] guess, for me, in disposition, unless someone tells
us differently, I don't know that we can't return your fee as part of the disposition --
Christianson: That was my other question.
Meridian City Council
May 25, 2004
Page 13 of 59
Nary: -- if that's what we choose to do. But at this juncture, the staff work and the time
that goes into it to prepare this appeal still has to get done and the fact that a lot of what
you're talking about to me is your unhappiness with our process and it how works and
how it impacted your presentation and your opportunity for a full hearing, that is
something, as part this appeal, that we would likely consider, but at least for me today,
you haven't at least convinced me that we would waive the cost of what the appeal is.
Christianson: I'm sorry I haven't persuaded you enough, but I just think out of a matter
of courtesy that it at least could have been considered and it was never considered, the
date change. I requested that and it wasn't even considered at all. I think if the
applicant had a chance to request -- you know, let me give you a scenario. If we appeal
this and win it, they can also appeal it, the applicant. So, they are going to have to pay
the fee; right? Is that the case? That's from my conversation with the Planning and Zone
Commission. They would have the right to appeal.
Nary: Well, I guess maybe Mr. Nichols might have to answer that for us, but they
would -- I mean they could appeal to the court, but they are not going to appeal to
anybody else. We would make the final decision.
Christianson: No, that's not the case -
Nary: Unless I'm --
De Weerd: Mr. Nichols.
Nichols: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, this is an appeal that goes to the
planning commission and if -- whatever the decision is at the planning commission can,
then, be appealed to you.
Nary: You didn't say that.
Christianson: Sorry, I --
Nary: Not you.
Christianson: Oh. Okay.
Nichols: So -- because this isn't a -- this appeal that Mr. Christianson has filed is an
appeal of the action of the administrator. So, therefore, it goes to the Commission and
that decision, then, can be appealed to you. So, there could be another level of appeal
yet again. And whoever would appeal that would also have to pay the fee. And I
believe that part of the reason for the fee is associated with the mailings and so forth
that go out and the staff time and so forth that goes into these, but that's the process
that] see in 11-1-11.
De Weerd: Is there any further questions, Council?
Meridian City Council
May 25, 2004
Page 14 of 59
Rountree: I have no more questions.
Bird: I have none.
De Weerd: Anything further you would like to --
Christianson: Yeah. Just one thing. If the Council decided not to approve the waiver for
this application, if I do successfully appeal, is my application fee refunded for the -- for
the appeal?
De Weerd: No, sir. That's the fee you pay to get it on the agenda and to get the public
noticing done.
Christianson: For that reason -- that's just the main reason I'm trying to fight this. You
know, if I just had my chance to have them hear us and hear me and the, you know, ten
other people in the community, I -- you know, they got a chance to make the application
fee free and that's the only reason I'm asking for the same.
Rountree: No, they didn't.
Christianson: Oh, they didn't?
De Weerd: There is a fee.
Christianson: Okay. My misunderstanding there. But I wanted to just have the right to
be able to pose it and give my case without having to appeal it and do it in person.
That's the only thing I'm trying to request here.
Nichols: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Nichols.
Nichols: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, Mr. Christianson, one of the
unfortunate things is I think you're the first appeal of a fence waiver decision and so
when we -- at least in the last four years you're the first one I have seen.
Rountree: There were some previous to that.
Nichols: So, it's been awhile since any have been done and so the changes that were
made in the fence waiver ordinance a year or so ago were sort of made in -- you know,
it's kind of like the academic exercise, and so, certainly, the Council would consider your
issues in terms of whether any adjustments need to be made to the appeal ordinance
and those kinds of things in the future.
Christianson: Okay. I appreciate that. Thank you.
Meridian City Council
May 25, 2004

De Weerd: Thank you.
Rountree: Do we need an action?
De Weerd: I believe we need an action, Council.
Nary: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I think we only need an action if we wanted to approve the waiver. If we don't
want to approve the waiver, then, I don't know that we need an action.
De Weerd: I guess that's an action in and of itself.
Rountree: I concur we don't need an action.
De Weerd: Okay. I guess the lack of action is your answer.
Nary: I mean unless Mr. Nichols thinks we need, for the record, an actual motion to
deny his request.
Nichols: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I hate to sound like a bureaucrat, but I
don1t think there was an application for a fee waiver and I don't think you have such an
animal, but just to make the record clear, to vote up or down, you also might consider
whether in your motion refund of the fee if the appeal is granted by the planning
commission, whether that's anything you want to consider or not.
Nary: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I guess based on that, I would move to deny the request to waive the appeal fee
by Mr. Steve Christianson in regards to this appeal matter that's before the Planning
and Zoning Commission.
Rountree: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. It's been moved and seconded. Is there any further discussion? All
those in favor say aye. All ayes. Motion carries.

West Ustick Road. The property has Autumn Faire Subdivision to the east here. As
you can see, the rest of the area -- this is on the extreme western edge of the Meridian
city limits. The request is to annex just this portion that is shown outlined here. The
applicant, is my understanding, does not -- does not own the balance of the property, so
they are requesting an annexation and a zoning to R-8. The Planning and Zoning
Commission did recommend approval of that. The aerial shows you there is an existing
farm house and a barn that is, actually, on the Ada County survey for historic structures
that is also on the property. The plat that they are proposing is shown here. The
access is a single point off of Ustick Road, generally right in the middle of their parcel
here. They, essentially, have a loop road system. There is a stub street that they are
utilizing out of Autumn Faire that is being proposed to be extended. This is the revised
plat that's shown here and it does show you that they -- a modification that was done
after the Planning and Zoning Commission hearing. The sewer -- sanitary sewer for the
project originally looped down to the south end and to the north and they were
potentially going to need to provide quite a bit of fill to get the north end of this site to
sewer correctly. So, the alternative route that they choose was to add a common lot
right here in the middle of this block that will run an eight inch sewer main through that
and, apparently, according to the engineers that's going to work. I think it's also nice it
does break up this block a little bit. The main question that was remaining on the
Planning and Zoning Commission hearing was how they will address their Ustick Road
future right of way. Steve Siddoway's cover memo, I think, touched on that and Mr.
Brown, Kent Brown, has stated that they are intending to show future right of way, place
that in a common lot that will be held by the homeowners association until such time as
Ada County Highway District -- they need to acquire that right of way. They would
construct a sidewalk on the back edge of that future right of way, so that's how they are
proposing to address that. Let's see. They have also a Conditional Use Permit. One of
the amenities, as this slide shows, their common area is here on the north end, they are
proposing both a swimming pool and a cabana as amenities to the project. The
planned development -- let's see. The reason for the planned development is minimum
lot frontage 52 feet, which, normally, is 65 and a minimum lot size of 5,460 feet, which
normally is 6,500. Those are the two exceptions that they were seeking under the
planned development and, then, the amenities I mentioned. So, here is a couple of
elevations of the houses that they are proposing to construct in the project. There are a
couple of lots -- several lots, I believe, that have also reduced front setback that would
have side loaded garages, which is reflected on this here -- this slide. And, then, the
barn that's on the property is shown here. My understanding is that they did have a
structural engineer come out and take a look at that barn. It is a nice barn. If you have
seen Ada County's poster of all the historic barns in Ada County, that one is, actually,
on that poster. Unfortunately, the structural engineer determined that they would
probably have to spend more money than is my understanding that would really be
worth to keep that safe for public occupancy. But maybe Mr. Brown can give us more
detail on that. That's it.
De Weerd: Okay. Any questions for staff at this time? Okay. This is the public hearing
portion of our public -- or our meeting tonight. Any of those people who are wanting to
provide testimony, I would like to swear you all in in one big event. So, Ms. Bowcutt -- if
Meridian City Council

Page 19 of 59
you will, please, raise your right hand. All who would like to provide testimony. Is the
testimony you provide tonight the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so
help you God? If so, answer I will.
(Affirmative answers.)
De Weerd: Thank you. If the applicant would like to step forward. And since I saw you
go through this exercise, if you would just state your name and address.
Brown: Kent Brown, business address 1800 West Overland in Boise, Idaho. We have
gone through many changes on this site over the period of time. I know that our firm
has been working on it close to a year. Some of the changes have to do with directly to
the west of us is one of your neighborhood centers and so we are supposed to
transition to the density that you would require around one of those neighborhood
centers. We looked at optioning the ground to the west of us and felt that we could
maybe do that, but this is as far as we can extend the sewer and so the sewer capability
with it coming out of the ground just makes it so that this is, basically, all that we can do
at this time and so that's been a concern all along. This is a project that I just recently
received, but I'm very familiar with it and what we are trying to accomplish. We did have
a structural engineer look at the barn. My clients really did want to make that some kind
of amenity for the homeowners association, but when we started looking at how it's built
and making it safe, basically, you'd almost have to lock it up, so that you couldn't ever
go inside of it. We tried to do something like some of the other developments. There is
one over in Eagle where they made a barn and use that as a common area, kind of a
center, and the difficulty is just you basically almost had to take it completely apart to
make it so that it was safe and, then, lock and make it impossible for anybody to go into
the second level of the barn. So, it just kind of priced it out and my clients really wanted
to make that work, because they really did like the barn. The existing house will stay on
the site. But they did come up with an alternative and that was with the pool and
cabana, so they have a pool and --
De Weerd: Mr. Brown, if you could put that so everyone can see that. Council, you can
see that?
Brown: And that is located there in the north portion. We felt that that was a
reasonable amenity and Planning and Zoning Commission did, too. We are in
agreement with all the conditions both of the annexation, conditional use, and the
preliminary plat. That the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended. And I'd
stand for any questions.
De Weerd: Council, any questions?
Wardle: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Wardle.
Meridian City Council
May 25, 2004
Page 20 of 59
Wardle: Just so I can understand, what's the definition of a cabana?
Brown: A cabana is like an awning or shelter that provides -- like a restroom for the
swimming pool, like a little changing room, kind of typical of what we are seeing in a lot
of the developments that we are doing that are putting these pools in.
De Weerd: No, not a restroom like we think of it, like a bathroom.
Brown: Right.
De Weerd: But just a place where you can go rest.
Brown: A changing room or -- sounds like an old Mork and Mindy thing.
Rountree: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: This is for my education and I don't know if it's Mr. Brown or Mr.
Hawkins-Clark that can answer this question, but we have an application for a rezone to
R-8 and, then, we have a preliminary plat for an R-8 and, then, we have a Conditional
Use Permit for a planned unit development or planned development and it seems to me
with the rezone to R-8 you get the smaller lots and, then, you want more and, then, you
ask for the planned development, so you can get all the variances that mayor may not
come with the planned development. My question is probably more for Brad than you,
Mr. Brown, isn't that a way to get the best of all worlds for the developer and not
necessarily for the community?
Brown: I would be happy to speak to that one, but--
De Weerd: Well, we'll have Brad --
Rountree: I'll ask Brad and, then, you can speak to it as well.
Hawkins-Clark: Councilman Rountree, Members of the Council, the intent that the
ordinance was written for was to provide for more creativity, more flexibility, more
opportunities for developers to take a piece of land and do some more unique design,
creative things with that piece of property. I mean that's really what it's for. The idea
behind the amenities is one that's subjective and that this Council and the Commission
have struggled with off and on for a long time. I guess the theory is that if they get to
reduce those R-8 standards by a little bit, they provide some amenities that are
generally equivalent to the breaks that they get and we find as staff that sometimes the
amenities they propose are not in concert with the breaks that they get and sometimes
they are and they would only be required to provide five percent open space with
nothing else, if they did a straight R-8 subdivision. That they would not be required to
do the swimming pool or the cabana and they could reduce the amount of open space
Meridian City Council
May 25, 2004
Page 21 of 59
that you see there by a little bit. So, I think that's one of the advantages to it. Certainly,
I agree, if I hear the leaning of your question, that it can be a tool that is abused. I don't
think that's the case here.
Rountree: Go ahead.
De Weerd: Mr. Brown.
Brown: Madam Mayor, Councilman Rountree -- and I can agree that it can be abused,
but there are great advantages in a planned unit development that provides for some
creativity that sometimes the zoning doesn't allow. We are asking for ten-foot front yard
setbacks, when we are not having the garages or the front of the garage face that
direction. By allowing more flexibility, you come up with a different housing product.
Being able to have the garages in the rear and some of those other things provides for a
more non-typical housing development that provides some uniqueness and some
character to it. To do a planned unit development or a PUD, you double what a
standard subdivision has for open space, and providing amenities on top of that. And
so that's why some of those allowances lot-wise accommodate some of that, to help pay
for the construction of those amenities and that's what makes developers want to do
that.
Rountree: Thank you.
De Weerd: How could you not believe someone with an, I voted sticker on his shirt,
too?
Rountree: I didn't ask him who he voted for.
De Weerd: I'm glad you exercised your American right.
Rountree: About the only time I can do something with political officials that gives me
any power or authority.
De Weerd: Thank you for your additional comments. Any further questions for Mr.
Brown?
Nary: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Mr. Brown, just, again, so I'm clear, how much -- how much more open space is
there or how much -- I saw it here at one point, it says 5.9 and at another point it says
7.65. So, tell me the amenities. Here is the pool, the cabana, and more open space
and how much more open space was it?
Brown: Now, Brad can correct me, but aren't you required with a PUD to have ten?
Meridian City Council
May 25, 2004
Page 22 of 59
Hawkins-Clark: No. You're required to do -- if you do ten-percent, that would count as
one of your amenities.
Brown: Okay.
Hawkins-Clark: They have 7.65 percent, so they have 2.65 percent more.
Nary: More than are R-8.
Hawkins-Clark: Right.
Nary: And the amenity is -- so, that 7.65 is not the amenity, it's the pool --
Brown: And the cabana.
Nary: And the cabana. But that of kind goes with the pool. You can't put a cabana in a
park.
Brown: Right. Exactly.
Nary: Okay.
Bird: You can.
Nary: Well, you can, but it's not meant to --
De Weerd: Then, it's just a shelter.
Bird: You can put a basketball court in a swale.
Brown: Put a basketball hoop at the end of the pool and there is your second one. How
is that?
Nary: Okay.
De Weerd: Okay. Any further questions? Thank you, Mr. Brown. Okay. I have a
Kathleen Denny signed up. If you could, please, state your name and address for the
record.
Denny: It's Kathleen Denny, 3009 West Wilder.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Denny: I have some concerns about the size of the -- the number of houses on this
development for the size of the property. It just seems like the houses are right on top --
Meridian City Council
May 25, 2004
Page 23 of 59
going to be right on top of each other, you're not going to have any street space. If they
are having sewage problems already and the houses aren't even developed, what good
is it going to be putting 75 houses there? You got one access going in and out -- it just
doesn't make a whole lot of sense. It's too much for too small of an area. Can the
property be expanded? Larger lots? I mean the amenities are nice, that may draw
people, but once you get into the neighborhood and find out that your next door
neighbor is right there, how many people are going to be wanting to stay there. My
family and I moved up here to get away from the California style of home developments
where your neighbors are right there and you can hear everything going on in their
homes, even with the sound proof windows and everything and it just doesn't make
sense that all this development is coming in the way that it is. The developments that
I'm seeing, they are standing for two years, some going on three that are small, but still
have vacant houses. The housing development that we live in has 59 homes in it and
we have large lots, compared to, I guess, a lot of them. But still we are not at a hundred
percent capacity and that development has been there at least two years. They are just
now building the final home. But there are still vacant homes in there. Do we need this
amount of homes going up and in this tight of quarters? Is there that big of a demand?
De Weerd: I guess that is a risk for the developer, isn't it? Do you have questions for
Mrs. Denny? Do you have anything further?
Denny: Well, I know that we just moved up here last June and we had our grandchildren
up with us and it was the first time they had an opportunity to see farm animals,
because in Sacramento they don't have them. They are way out numbered by the
houses and that was one of the things that drew us up here and I just don't want to see
it destroyed.
De Weerd: Well, thank you.
Denny: Thank you.
De Weerd: Is there anyone else who would like to provide testimony on this application?
Thank you. Mr. Brown.
Brown: I think as you look at developments, you're seeing lots of different kinds of
homes. I know, typically, a number of years ago -- and I have heard a particular City
Councilman that's no longer here speak about that, you know, 8,000 -- or 8,000 square
foot lots, 80 by 100, you know, that they didn't want to just see all of those anymore.
And what my clients are -- the feedback that I'm getting is that two-thirds of the people
that are buying are empty nesters. Not everybody wants to be able to take care of a
yard and as what we are doing in the industry is providing different lot sizes and trying
to put those for those different houses and different -- different people's needs and
wants and in this particular area this is the one that we feel will do the best and
complies with your Comprehensive Plan for that mixed use community to the west of us.
A portion of the site is covered with that same designation as put in those facts and
findings in the annexation conditions and that's alii have to say.
Meridian City Council
May 25, 2004
Page 24 of 59
De Weerd: Okay. Any further questions? Okay. Thank you.
Nary: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Brad, could you put up -- you had like an area map showing the location of this
parcel. That's good. And the subdivision, then, to the east of this parcel, is that an R-4
or is that an R-8?
Bird: That's an R-8.
Nary: That's an R-8 right there?
Bird: Yeah.
Hawkins-Clark: No. I think it's R-4. Autumn Faire is R-4.
Nary: R-4? Autumn Faire? Okay.
Hawkins-Clark: Tricia's Subdivision, Autumn Faire is R-4.
Nary: Okay. All right. Thank you.
De Weerd: Brad Watson, I guess I did want you to at least address the sewer
statement, that we are not out of capacity and how this fits within those sewer plans.
Watson: Madam Mayor, Council Members, this property is just at the farthest western
most extent of how far the sewer can gravity flow back to the east. That's as much of
that parcel as they can develop and make the gravity conform to slopes and depths as
possible. If it goes any farther west, then, it will out come up out of the ground or they
have to fill or -- there is not a problem with this parcel being sewered.
De Weerd: And coming up out of the ground does not mean the sewage comes up out
of the ground; correct?
Watson: No. No. I guess that's a colloquialism that we use in the engineering
department.
De Weerd: I thought maybe it would be nice to have that clarified.
Watson: Thank you.
De Weerd: So, that's just the pipe. And the properties, then, to the west of that would
be in a different sewer trunk line that would have a different line to it?
Meridian City Council
May 25, 2004
Page 25 of 59
Watson: Correct. It would be in the McDermott trunk area.
De Weerd: Okay. Okay. Council, what would you like to do? Mr. Nichols?
Nichols: Madam Mayor, if I may ask a question of Brad. This revised plat that shows a
revision date of 5/20/04 takes into account the concern about how the right of way was
going to be handled; is that correct?
Hawkins-Clark: That's correct.
Nichols: Okay. So, that issue on that cover sheet to the Council has been resolved by
this revision?
Hawkins-Clark: Right. Yeah. As long as it's -- you refer to that last date of received by
the clerk 5/21 that would cover that concern.
Nichols: Yes.
De Weerd: Okay. Council, what would you like to do?
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Hearing no further discussion, I would move that we close the public hearings for
14, 15 and 16, the Jaydan Village Subdivision.
Rountree: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. It's been moved and seconded to close the public hearings on Items
14, 15, and 16. All those in favor say aye. All ayes. Motion carried.
MOTION CARR I ED: ALL AYES.
De Weerd: Any discussion or comments?
Nary: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I guess I'll make a comment and I -- I have no problem with the subdivision. I
mean it's -- you know, it's about 4.4 units per acre. It is different. I understand -- I
understand the one person who was concerned and -- about the change, but this is their
property, I mean they can tear their barn down if they want to. I mean they can stop
farming their property if they choose to. So, how it gets developed -- this is consistent
Meridian City Council
May 25, 2004
Page 26 of 59
with our Comprehensive Plan, it is a variety of housing, which is what we seek. It does
have some higher densities, but this is a pretty small piece of property. I mean 16 acres
and 75 homes is really not a lot in comparison to what else we have looked at. The
amenities are okay. The pools are nice and that park is nice and all of those things. I
think they are adequate. Some of the setbacks don't concern me. You know, we have
a variety of R-8's now, with some variety in them, and that's what we have asked for. I
looked at that other site plan that they had -- I mean, obviously, Mr. Brown and Briggs
have been listening. I saw islands in both of the main streets; they have a fairly good
size green space. They have got an amenity with a pool, they have got the stub streets,
so they have connectivity to other subdivisions -- I mean I think they have covered,
really, the things that we really hit on all the time with the developers. So, I mean I
really -- I understand exactly where you're coming from, but it really does fit with the
other things that we have asked people to do. It's their property and we have asked
people to do it this way and I think this really hits all of those things. So, I have no
objection to it.
De Weerd: Okay. Any further comment? Okay.
Wardle: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: Hearing no other, I guess, discussion, I would move that we approve Item No.
14, AZ 04-003, annexation and zoning for Jaydan Village Subdivision.

Wardle: I move that we approve Item No. 16, CUP 04-004, Conditional Use Permit for

De Weerd: Okay. It's been moved and seconded to approve Item 16. Is there any
further discussion?
Rountree: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: I have a comment, though I'm not going to oppose this. This is becoming
desperately close, in my opinion, to lack creativity that is to be obtained with the
Conditional Use Permit for planned development, in terms of what I would evaluate
creativity. So, just for the record.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I would concur with Councilman Rountree. I think this is a around-the-skirt way of
getting some changes in there on doing -- its either a PUD or it's an R-8 and I agree
with what Councilman Rountree stated.
De Weerd: Any further comments? Do we have a motion?
Rountree: Yes. And a second.
De Weerd: Oh, yeah. This was discussion. It was so long ago.
Rountree: I'll move for the question.

Item 17:
Public Hearing: AZ 04~004 Request for annexation and zoning of 34.6
acres from RUT to I-L, L-O, and C-G zones for proposed McNelis
Subdivision by Falcon Creek, LLC - northwest corner of North Ten Mile
Road and West Ustick Road:
Item 18:
Public Hearing: PP 04-004 Request for Preliminary Plat approval of 16
commercial building lots and 5 common lots on 34.6 acres in proposed I-L,
L-O, and C-G zones for proposed McNelis Subdivision by Falcon Creek,
LLC - northwest corner of North Ten Mile Road and West Ustick Road:
De Weerd: Thank you. Items 17 and 18, I will open those two, for AZ 04-004, PP 04-
004 -- boy, there is a lot of 04-004's tonight, isn't there. And I will start with the staff
comments.
Hawkins-Clark: I agree. Thank you. Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, this
application does have two hearings tonight, one for the annexation, and one for the
preliminary plat. The property is no stranger to the Council, particularly those that were
here a couple years ago, known as Utility Subdivision, then. They have changed the
name to McNelis Subdivision. The application now is requesting three different zones
on this property that's at the northwest corner of Ustick and Ten Mile. The area is
designated -- there is approximately 430 some odd acres around the wastewater
treatment plant on the Comp Plan designated wastewater -- Mixed Use Wastewater
Treatment Plant. This does fall within that and the staff report, I think, did a good job of
kind of summarizing some of the history on that and what the Comprehensive Plan
envisions for uses around the wastewater\ treatment plant. The property is still in Ada
County. The surrounding uses include an Idaho Power transmission substation area
immediately to the north here. This little out parcel. The Hartford Subdivision is to the
east, as well as an out parcel that's located across the street from one of the proposed
entrances. Inglewood Creek Estates to the south. And, then, to the west there are a
couple of single-family homes. The Nine Mile Creek does run along the west and the
Five Mile Creek along the north, so it does have two pretty large irrigation facilities to
deal with on the layout here. The Planning and Zoning Commission did recommend
approval of the rezone and this does show the properties -- or the lots that -- the layout,
as well as the zoning that they are looking for. The light industrial uses are shown here
on the north end adjacent to the city property, which is also, zoned light industrial. And,
then, they have several professional office, limited office lots down here in the south and
to the west and, then, on the corner they are looking for general commercial. There is
an existing residence on the property that's on Ten Mile Road in this location. The plat
is proposing a new public street that would be designed to commercial standards,
Meridian City Council
May 25, 2004
Page 29 of 59
basically looping through. They are also proposing a -- all of the required -- to construct
the required landscape buffers on the public streets, as well as internally you can see
the buffers between land uses, which our landscape ordinance requires between
industrial uses and office uses and commercial uses and office uses, so these -- that's
the internal buffers that you see there. As far as the creeks, they are proposing to
construct multi-use pathways along both facilities. Obviously, we have our parks
director Mr. Strong here tonight if you have any questions on that, but the way that the
condition is worded is, essentially, to construct those. They will be the maintenance
responsible of the City of Meridian. There was some discussion at the Planning and
Zoning Commission about the design standards for those multi-use pathways. The
layout that they have shown here would actually -- you would have a fence and, then,
landscaping and, then, a ten foot wide pathway and, then, a shoulder, which the parks
department is asking to be gravel, so that they can run, typically, as far as their arms on
their sprayers for maintenance, that's how they prefer to maintain those. And, then, you
would have the top of bank and, then, on down. So, that's the same on both Five Mile
and Nine Mile. So, the fence, actually, is on the inside of the property and, then, the
pathway is nearer to the top of the bank. I think there are just a couple of issues to
point out as far as the proposed conditions that the Planning and Zoning Commission
forwarded on to you. We did receive a letter dated today from Becky McKay at
Engineering Solutions that goes over the recommended conditions on these two
applications. I think there is mainly two issues to be discussed tonight. One is the
development agreement that was recommended on this project excluded convenience
stores and gas stations as allowed uses and that would be down here in this C-G area.
They are asking for that to be reinstated and that those two uses be allowed to be
considered on this property. There was testimony both for and against, by the way, at
the Planning and Zoning Commission hearing from the public for this -- for this project.
Then, the second issue that I think is -- you're going to hear about in the hearing relates
to the access points and Craig Hood, a planner in our office, put this slide together that I
think kind of summarizes what the issues are. Again, Ustick Road on the south. Ten
Mile. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended and ACHD approved -- and,
actually, they applied for just one access on Ustick Road, in addition to the new street.
They are proposing two accesses on Ten Mile Road, in addition to the new street. So,
Ten Mile would have the two driveways, plus the public street, and Ustick would have
one driveway, plus the public street. Ada County Highway District did approve -- on Ten
Mile Road they did approve both of these commercial driveway access points, as well
as the street. The issue was raised up by staff at the Commission that there is a finding
that the city has to make -- are the proposed vehicular access points to a project safe.
And Craig's analysis was that -- that you have this existing house that has a circular
driveway on the east side of Ten Mile and, as you can see, that's generally right in
between the two new proposed access points for these two black boxes here. On a 50
mile an hour roadway, the highway district's policy says that you have to have your
driveways full access driveways, 255 feet -- yeah, 255 feet apart from each other and if
you factor in the distances here, they -- it is less -- the southern one is proposed to be
right in, right out only. However, the northerly one would be a full access point and, of
course, you have the driveways on the side and 375 feet from there to the new street.
So, there is, obviously no issues between the northerly driveway and the new street.
Meridian City Council

The issue is whether or not this is congested and imagining Ten Mile at build out, if that
many access points is potentially a hazard or not. The argument from Mrs. McKay is
that the city doesn't have standards that are published or available or ordinances that
deal with driveways and -- in terms of the offsets on streets. It's a highway district issue
and the city should not get in that business. However, I do think that there is some
room for the city to look at traffic and particularly vehicular access points into new
subdivisions that we are approving in terms of the public safety. So, I think that's --
that's the argument that was made. The P&Z Commission did agree with staff. They
said only one access -- one driveway access on Ten Mile, so there would be,
essentially, one on each, plus the new street. Are there any questions?
De Weerd: No. Just I had this feeling of deja vu when we were told we had nothing to
do with streets and I agree with your statement on safety is our business and appreciate
that. Any questions for staff?
Nary: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Yeah. Brad, could you put up the other -- the site plan? So, is there -- is there an
access point from those -- from those -- the commercial piece or those light office
pieces to that street or is it just to the light office pieces that are abutting that street have
access? There is no -- there is no common drive or anything that accesses that little cut
out for commercial?
Hawkins-Clark: I'm sorry, I'm guess I'm going to have to refer to Mrs. McKay for that.
don't know.
Nary: Basically, this portion here --
Hawkins-Clark: Right.
Nary: -- there is no -- the access point is here and here?
Hawkins-Clark: Right.
Nary: And -- or maybe just here for this piece? There is no other point into this piece?
Hawkins-Clark: Of course, this is the survey only that we are dealing with or the plat.
It's not a development site plan.
Nary: Sure. Okay.
Hawkins-Clark: So, it doesn't preclude it, but it does appear as they have drawn it out
that that's kind of how they intend that to develop out, but it doesn't mean that they
couldn't provide that.

Nary: Sure. Okay. Thank you.
De Weerd: Any further questions? Thank you. Would the applicant like to step
forward? Please state your name and address for the record.
McKay: Becky McKay, Engineering Solutions, 150 East Aikens, Suite B, Eagle.
Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, as Brad indicated, this was a very controversial
project when it came through the first time.
De Weerd: Becky, I will ask you to put it on the easel. And we should have a pointer--
a laser pointer up there or -- or you can stay over there.
McKay: Now I can wander around. Just to refresh your memory, this was proposed as
a -- I think a bus barn for Meridian School District. They also -- the trash company
wanted to have a transfer center here. And so it was a highly contentious few public
hearings that took place on this project. The Council at that time told the owners and
applicants to -- that those particular uses were too intensive for this property,
considering the location adjoining single family residential and, then, the -- abutting the
sewer treatment facility and that that kind of prompted the city to come up with this
wastewater treatment plant overlay, specifying certain types of mixtures of uses that
would be appropriate for this particular area. In your Comprehensive Plan you guys
inserted discussions or language recommending light professional office uses, flex
space, including light warehousing, no new residential uses, limited to small scale retail
uses, and mini storages. So, what we did is this group came back -- came to me and
said, you know, our experience was very poor the first time, could you meet with the
city, do a neighborhood meeting, get input from those two entities, and give us your
recommendations on what appropriate uses would be on this property. So, we did -- we
come up with the concept of doing a little bit of a mixture, because the property is 39 --
like 34 acres in size, so it's pretty large. We came up with -- we got -- Mr. Crane lives
here, so we have got a residential use here. We came up with like an L-O use adjoining
him. The exposure to the treatment plant is here on this northern boundary, so we
came up with I-L here and, then, we have also got the Idaho Power substation that's
going to go in here in a year or two and they were very concerned about what our uses
were and how compatible we would be with them. They were relieved when I told them
we had no residential component in this development. Down here, this is L-Q and,
then, we had a C-G. If you look at the percentage breakdown of what we are
proposing, we have got approximately 48.8 percent L-O, 43 percent I-L, and 8.1 percent
C-G. So, we leaned real heavy on the L-O and the I-L. The staff recommended that all
uses along the perimeter be conditional use, so that the neighbors would have
opportunity to give the city input and the Council could scrutinize those uses that go in.
So, we are not -- we are not asking for cart blanche here. We also submitted a list of
potential uses, obviously, omitting those that would be offensive or cause some type of
hazard and nuisance in this area. One other thing that we -- that I looked at, by
providing this commercial collector here and creating this loop, we do add capacity to
the intersection, we did do a traffic study. They looked at -- there is going to be a
Meridian City Council
May 25, 2004
Page 32 of 59
certain amount of capture of traffic along this roadway network and that's kind of why we
thought the C-G to be appropriate. In our traffic study they are recommending like
some right turn lanes and center turn lanes into this project. We designed this to meet
all of ACHD's standards. We have one full access here, one right in, right out there, and
one full access here and, then, this public street. To answer Councilman's Nary's
response as far as the interconnectivity, I did do kind of an internal concept and I did
show cross-access coming through this direction. So, that someone could come in the
commercial collector, go to their dentist, pop over to say the drycleaners or a video
store or whatever, without going back out onto the arterial. Now, staff has not included
any language in their conditions referencing cross-access and if the Council views that
as important, that I'd recommend that there be some language in there, you know,
directing some interconnectivity and I always do promote interconnectivity, especially
with a commercial type development. We feel that based on -- on what we have got to
work with and the limitations, we have come up with some good uses. We have mini
storage would be on the very back portion here on our northwest corner and we created
kind of a big lot and, then, narrowed it down here, so they could have a controlled gate
system coming in. The I-L, we see that kind of as flex space, maybe a plumber, an
electrician, somebody that has a small office, warehouse, has a yard, that they would be
a good component there next to the treatment plant. Your treatment plant at some point
in time -- I did the mini storage -- Ten Mile Mini Storage facility above it. It does, as I
think the staff calls it, burp periodically, so that, you know, I had to think of uses that,
obviously, could coexist with that type of facility. Obviously, the intensity or like offices,
you would have more people, but they are further away from the plant and down along
the Ustick and Ten Mile area. The pathway, we are showing that, that's on your
Comprehensive Plan and also in the park's plan. We do show the multi-use pathway
coming along here and wrapping back. The applicant wasn't real excited about the
landscaping, but it is in the landscape ordinance, so, therefore, it is avoidable -- or
unavoidable. I'm sorry. It's getting late. This property -- we even looked at -- we even
met with PAL Soccer, because at the last public hearing people said, well, you know,
why don't you make it a park, why don't -- you know, did you look at ball fields and stuff?
Yes, we did. We contacted PAL Soccer, they came in, my staff and I, we laid out -- we
got their criteria, we laid out ball fields, parking, they had like a vendor area, to see if
this property in this configuration could accommodate that type of use. We did that at
no cost to them and I didn't charge the client for the work either. So, we just did it as
kind of a benefit for them, because I thought that would be a great use. They went to
their lender, they came back, and I talked to the gal and she said we cannot get -- we
can't get the financing. The amount of financing that we can get, it wouldn't even cover
single-family residential property that has no sewer. I mean that's kind of where their
budget was. So, that kind of went out the window. But I just want the Council to know
we did explore different ideas as far as uses on this property. As I told the Planning and
Zoning Commission, there has to be some use -- I mean we can't just draw a circle
around the plant and say these 450 acres, we can have absolutely no uses. We have
got to find something that can coexist with the plant and the neighbors. I worked
diligently with your staff and Anna was very pleased with what we were proposing,
because she thought that this is a right step and this is one of the first parcels, with the
exception of Ten Mile Mini Storage that's going -- you know, that's of any size that's
Meridian City Council
May 25, 2004
Page 33 of 59
going to develop next to the plant and so she thought that this would, obviously, set the
type of tone and be the type of development that the city would be in favor of. Staffs
conditions, we are in agreement. The only thing that my client was -- was not pleased
with the Planning and Zoning Commission to delete a C-Store or gas station out next to
the arterial. We made the argument at the Planning and Zoning Commission that that
would be a conditional use. That does not necessarily mean that it is an allowed use, if
it's a conditional use. If the Council believed a particular use to be inappropriate, too
intensive for what we have as far as the surrounding uses, they would, obviously, have
the ability to deny that. We thought that that was a good enough safety factor in there,
but the Commission -- because most of the negative comments were the fact that the
neighbors said we fear a convenience store and gas station, we do not want to see 24
hours a day, but not all C-Stores are 24 hours a day, not all C-Stores are a nuisance, I
guess. We all stop and get gas; we all need a gallon of milk. I have had multiple
people ask me when in this area are they going to put a convenience store. I lived out
there and I got to drive clear over to Fairview to get gas. So, I mean as the north
Meridian area expands and more houses are occupied, the need is there. I guess it's
the Council's purview to determine what -- where are those appropriate locations, but
you need to keep in mind the more services we provide in these suburban areas, the
less trips we are creating out on the arterials out into the Fairviews and Eagle Road
areas. The second issue was the issue of access and I -- as Brad put it, I guess my
problem with that is the principal of the thing. We design to Ada County Highway
District standards, we go through traffic studies, we work with their staff, my staff report,
my traffic study, everything says specifically all access locations conform with Ada
County Highway District policy manual. I have never had the city staff tell me an access
was inappropriate if I met all standards. So, I fear that this is a precedent setting thing,
that even though we are designing to standards, we have traffic engineers that are
saying this is appropriate, they don't have any policy or standards to go from when they
are making a determination whether it is appropriate or inappropriate. So, I'm
concerned about that being a precedent setting thing. If we are not going to rely on Ada
County Highway Standards, then, I guess maybe Meridian needs to come up with their
own standards. Maybe they take over their streets like Nampa. I don't know the
answer. But we have to design to something. It is right in, right out, we are going to
have to build turn lanes and we felt that that was an inappropriate condition. Do you
have any questions?
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Becky, I do have a problem and I'm not trying to say that I'm -- and I know I'm not
smarter than ACHD, but I do not like those entrances that close to the intersection. I
think it can be designed -- and I would like to see the biggest share of the traffic going
off the interior road there at the two entrances onto Ustick and onto Ten Mile. We have
already got some stuff in Bridgetower dumping in on -- close to the stop sign on that
area. I don't know -- and I think it could be designed -- that's on the roadway. Now, on
the convenience store and a gas station. I think it's great. I think that area needs
Meridian City Council
May 25, 2004
Page 34 of 59
something out there. I don't like people driving through my subdivision to get to gas and
convenience stores and there is nothing out there. So, I do agree with you on that. But
I just -- I just don't like the traffic flow on this and I don't think it's -- I don't think it's so
much the traffic transportation, I think it's as the Mayor said, I think it's a safety issue.
McKay: Madam Mayor, Councilman Bird, if I could respond to that. In -- with full
access to an intersection, what Ada County Highway District policy manual states is we
have got to come back 440 feet. That's from edge of pavement of the future build out of
Ten Mile back to my edge of driveway. This approach and this approach meet or
exceed the 440. This one here, Councilman Bird, is 220.
Bird: And that's what I don't like.
McKay: And that's the one that you're concerned with. Two twenty is right in, right out
only. And I guess from the perspective, those do seem close. At Bridgetower we have
no right in, right outs, they are all 440 and greater. Interconnectivity will also help as far
as the number of vehicles entering those. For commercial type uses you're not going to
get -- I don't think that would be viable as a commercial corner if you had to come in
and, then, wind your way through to get over to here. You can't capture the traffic.
Bird: I have no problem with those, Becky, but --
McKay: It's this one. Okay. It's this one right there.
Bird: It's this one that I have a problem and you can dump -- you can dump those into
the commercial -- into a C-Store or whatever it is. Gas station. It's just that one there
that's so close. I think it will really cause some -- even if it's a right in, right out, you're
still -- you're still causing the congestion, I believe.
Nary: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Yeah. On that -- that's one entrance, I guess, Mrs. McKay, I would have the
same concern as Councilman Bird has. It looks like Krispy Kreme's corner to me and --
McKay: I didn't do that.
Nary: And it seemed like a good idea at the time and -- it seemed like a good idea at
the time, because I was one of the people up here that said, oh, that seems like that will
work and now I have to say, yeah, we approved that and it doesn't really work very well.
And that's what that one entrance -- it appears there is adequate access to this property
with both the streets to have some connectivity from the rear street, as well as the other
two access points to be able to get to that commercial piece, that I think those are
adequate, but that one piece does strike me as a safety concern, being so close to the
corner and so close to the other entrance as well. That one is a hold up to me.

De Weerd: We all know what right in, right out means, too. Unless you have an island -
McKay: Don't get caught going left.
De Weerd: Yes. Unless you have an island to deter them --
McKay: Yes, I have seen that and done that myself.
Wardle: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: And just a quick comment on the right in, right out. If I'm -- essentially -- and
I'm not an ACHD commissioner, but the right in, right out theory is, obviously, this right
here is going to become congested as a viability for a commercial project, the way I see
this platted right now is that sits alone by itself and so the only traffic that you will be
able to capture without someone crossing a large amount of congestion will be traffic
traveling from -- from north to south and I'm not sure that, in my opinion, that that would
be a great commercial corner for someone that could only attract traffic from one
direction.
De Weerd: Thank you, Mr. Wardle. Any further questions for the applicant? Okay.
Thank you.
McKay: Thank you.
De Weerd: Okay. I do have one person officially signed up and that's Kathleen Denny.
Denny: Do I give my name again?

back up for me.
Hawkins-Clark: Sorry, we are --
Denny: Technical difficulties?
Hawkins-Clark: Yes. Experiencing them. But we will get it up as soon as we can.
Denny: Okay. As far as the development in the area, I have no problem. My problem
is the safety issue in that. I live directly across the street from that in the Hartford
Estates. We got buses picking up kids along Ten Mile and on Ustick and dropping them
Meridian City Council
May 25, 2004
Page 36 of 59
off and it's like right where the driveways are going to be. That's -- my concern is the
safety issue for the kids. We have got a ton of kids in that neighborhood and they are
having to bus them out to the different schools in the area and I know the junior high
and the high school, that they drop off on that side of the street coming in from Ten Mile
after school. And would be a major concern for me. Thank you.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Denny: Other than that, j have no problem with the development.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you. Any questions?
Bird: I have none.
De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. This is a Public Hearing. Is there anyone else who like
to provide testimony? Step forward. And I don't think I saw your hand up when we
swore people in, so --
N.Denny: No. I was kind of--
De Weerd: Is the testimony you provide tonight the truth, the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth, so help you God?
N.Denny: Yes, it is.
De Weerd: Thank you.
N.Denny: My only concern is the type of businesses --
De Weerd: Oh, if you will, please, state your name and address.
N.Denny: Nathan Denny, 3009 West Wilder. I'm her husband.
De Weerd: Thank you.
N.Denny: -- is the type of businesses we are going to allow to go inside there, like
pornography places or, you know, adult places or stuff like that, you know, so, no, there
is that little nasty place down there on Black Cat and Franklin down there that I kind of
avoid, you know, because my grandkids ask me what that is every time I go by, so that
would be my only concern is the type of business that we are going to allow in there. A
gas station would be very cool there. I don't have to go all the way over to Linder and
get gas, so that's alii have got to say.
De Weerd: Thank you. Brad, how far is that church from that corner? Do you recall? Is
it quite a ways? Okay. I think we have an ordinance that says you can't have adult
entertainment by a sewer treatment plan. Isn't that correct?

Nichols: Madam Mayor, there are those who would argue that's the right place for it.
Bird: In the sewer.
De Weerd: Thank you, Mr. Nichols. I don't think I recognized you. Okay. Is there

Crane: Yes, it is.
De Weerd: Thank you. Please state your name and address.
Crane: My name is Charles Crane. [live at 3600 West Ustick Road. I'm, actually, here
in favor of this project, which is kind of a big flip-flop from the last time you guys saw
me. Our six hundred pound guerilla has come in with tucks and tails and I really
appreciate the developer having a meeting that talked with the neighborhood and,
actually, listened to us. Some other meetings I have been to the developer tells you
what they are going to do. They have no intention of listening to the neighborhood, but
in this instance the developer has really listened to some of the comments the
neighbors have made and have, actually, seen some changes on their plan and I just
wanted to comment on that and thank the developer for part of it. I do have a concern
with the traffic. I drive down Franklin and Ten Mile in that corner and as the years have
gone by it's become increasingly obvious that if you have an intersection with too much
traffic, it backs up way down the road and that's what I'm thinking this extra driveway on
Ten Mile would contribute to that intersection being a place to stop and park for 15, 20
minutes while congestion slows everything down. So, I would hope you guys follow the
recommendations of Planning and Zoning to restrict that access that's close to the
entrance and do internal connections to that property. The only concern I have is a
convenience store. With the three other corners being approved for residences -- if we
could go back in time and say, well, let's make this a business corner, but in the past we
have approved three corners to be residential, so we need to keep that in mind. Even
though this would be a nice commercial corner, we have already approved three
corners of it to be residences. So, if we do allow some kind of heavy commerce, we
should keep in mind that people sleep there, their bedrooms are near there, if we could
at least limit the hours or put some restrictions on it to make it a livable corner still for
the people that have residences. Two other minor points I'd like to have the developer
put on record. The pathway on the north -- or the top right corner, it ends in the power
substation property. I would like to have something in the development agreement that
they will work with either the Nampa-Meridian Irrigation or the substation people to align
that pathway with another connection to finish that last little bit and if also she would
mention on the bottom left corner next to my property there is a pumping station and we
had talked about it early and she had said that they might go and move that somewhere
else, but I'd like to have her put that on the record. That's all.

there anyone else who would like to provide testimony? He definitely is a sheriff. He
definitely has to be sworn in. Is the testimony you provide tonight the truth, the whole

Borquist: Yes.
De Weerd: Thank you. Please state your name and address.
Borquist: Dana Borquist, 3125 West Wilder Court. Madam Mayor, Members of the
Council, I appreciate your time. I live -- if you could put the aerial or the one with the
yellow that shows the residential -- I live relatively close to -- I live right there. If my
hand would stop shaking. Anyway, as Madam Mayor indicated, I'm in law enforcement
and rm okay with most of this development. I know it's a difficult area to develop and I
applaud the developer for at least going out of the box and looking at different varieties
to put in there. However, I do have major concerns, as well as many of my neighbors,
about convenience stores and all night stores being that close to residential
neighborhoods. We all built knowing that that was a vacant area. However, if you look
at the two other corners that we are on, it's all residential. I think Councilman Bird put it
correctly when he said he doesn't like people driving through his area to get gas and I
know from experience that if you drive around town in Meridian, you will find most of the
gas stations that are here have rental homes or trailer parks right next door to them.
Property goes down, I could almost say with certainty that most of the convenience
stores have had major crime activity -- criminal activity, whether or not they are armed
robberies or just common petty theft that occur all of the time. We have pathways that
go into our subdivision that are accessible directly across the street from one of these
entrances and I think we would draw that negative behavior right into our backyards, if
you will. I would like to see you uphold the recommendations from Planning and Zoning
that at least limit them to not have the gas stations, car washes, the all night activity
stores and limit it to more things like banks and such. The other issues I have are with
traffic. I see all the time where cities have the perfect opportunity to say no to some
recommendations that ACHD has and you have many problems right here in Meridian
with traffic issues and we are just asking for more problems if we create more
driveways, if you will, and you have the perfect opportunity to limited that and Itm sure
your chief of police would agree that that invites, you know, more resources from them
to write more accidents and more congestion. ACHD I don't think is planning on
improving any of those roads untfJ 2008 and that goes up until Ustick and, then, nothing
further north. And if you have these large businesses, there is going to be a major draw
of resources and lane usage in that area. So, again, I would -- I like most of the
recommendations. I would ask that you limit the use of the commercial back to light
office or whatever zoning that would be, that limits the hours to regular business hours,
like until 5:00 or 6:00 p.m. Thank you.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you. Any questions?
Nichols: Madam Mayor?

De Weerd: Mr. Nichols.
Nichols: Excuse me. If I may. Would you have the same objection to a convenience
store that had to close at 11 :00 and couldn't work and couldn't open until 6:00 A.M.?
Borquist: Yes, I would. It draws the same clientele, same activity.
Nichols: Okay.
De Weerd: I know it would draw my kids there to buy candy, so -- you know. Any
questions? Anyone else like to provide testimony? Is the testimony you provide tonight
the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Wilder: It is.
De Weerd: Thank you. Please state your name and address.
Wilder: Janet Wilder, 3340 North Ten Mile Road. And we are the lot they were talking
about with the circle drive. J wrote this down, because I knew I wouldn't remember it all.
First, let me say that I was at the meeting where it was decided to zone the property
around the wastewater treatment plant as mixed use wastewater treatment plant and
the reasoning behind it was to buffer the residential area away from the wastewater
treatment plant. Allowing the corner to become commercial I feel brings the sewer plant
to us on the corner, instead of buffering us from it. So, I'm totally opposed to any
commercial on the corner. I'd like to see it light office and access from within, instead of
the two entrances that they plan on Ten Mile. I think they could do it that way and it
would be -- would kind of enclose the whole development, instead of affecting the
neighbors so much, I guess. On or about November 4th, 2003, we received a letter
from Engineering Solutions concerning a neighborhood meeting about proposed
McNelis Subdivision to be held on Monday, November 17th at 6:30 at Meridian City
Hall. I attended this meeting, along with -- I think there were other neighbors and Sheri
Stiles representing Engineering Solutions. We were shown the plans and told what they
wanted to do. At that time I voiced opposition to the two commercial lots on the corner,
because of the location and the driveways. I asked if they could access them from the
commercial roadway that runs through the center of the property and was told they
couldn't and that we needed to move. Sheri told me that she would ask about a
different access and let me know. To date I haven't heard from her. I would have
appreciated a notice of the ACHD hearing in March. Now I find that it's too late to
appeal it. Also, it's my understanding that -- oh, another thing about the ACHD. I spoke
with them today and they told me that they don't notify neighbors about their hearings
and it's kind up to the developer to let anyone that might be affected know about the
meeting. As far as I know, none of the neighbors knew about it or I certainly would have
been there. Also, it's my understanding that at such time as a traffic light is installed, a
median will be put in that goes 50 feet beyond the driveway, which is affected and that
puts it back almost to our driveway. And on the school bus issue, I know for a fact there
Meridian City Council
May 25, 2004

is two busses stop there morning and night for kids, right -- well, driveway's just not that
far from the driveway they propose across street and I don't know why the school bus
stops there, but it does. And there is times through the day that traffic is backed up past
our drive, past our northern driveway now even. So, I just see a huge traffic problem
there, if these driveways are allowed. So, that's alii have to say. Thank you.
De Weerd: Thank you. Any questions? Thank you. Okay. Is there anyone else who
would like to provide to testimony? Please step forward. Is the testimony you provide
tonight the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Weber: Yes.
De Weerd: Thank you. Please state your name and address.
Weber: My name is Steve Weber and I live at 390 -- oh, I'm sorry -- 3139 West
Purdeau Court and I spoke last time, as well as I do this time representing -- I have --
there is one other family that lives in the subdivision right next door to me and I spoke
for quite a few families, but found out just recently that the developer is trying to get the
convenience store and gas station back into the proposal. So, that's why I was late and
I apologize for that. I didn't get on the list and as well as there was a lot of people that
weren't able to make it because of that. We thought, basically, that was off the plate,
based on the proposals of Planning and Zoning. So, we were actually against the
whole development -- and I don't know if you guys were forwarded on the 150
signatures that we had against it. It only took us, you know, a few hours over a period
of a couple days to get that little of signatures. There was a lot of negativity and a lot of
people against the development altogether and as the night went on with the Planning
and Zoning, we kind of -- we kind of talked back and forth and we changed our minds
somewhat that they asked us if we would be willing to allow the development if they
would take the convenience store and gas station out of the contingency. They do --
they did -- the developer says that it's -- we still have the right to come back and protest
it again or whatever when it comes up for whatever is going to go in there, but I mean
there was enough opposition that the Planning and Zoning recognized that there would
be opposition every time and if the developer is in the true interest of the residents in
the area, they would recognize that now and remove that concern. We are not -- we
were somewhat against the commercial, but we would rather see something like a bank
or some other thing like that come in or even limited office space, rather than a
convenience store. And the same comment, we don't want people coming into our
neighborhood, because it will draw traffic into the area that would never have come
there through subdivisions and through the connecting roads. We were told by -- I think
it was one of the managers at Albertson's that there will be a gas station there in a year
at the Albertson's on that corner. I don't know if that's true or not, but that seems like a
more suitable place for a commercial type business. And we would just like you guys --
the panel here to take that into consideration and as well as take the experience of the
Planning and Zone for Meridian into consideration against that.

De Weerd: Thank you. Do you have any questions for the -- no? Thank you so much.
Okay. Is there any further testimony? I guess I would like Bruce to please come
forward. I think we have a couple questions. Or I have a couple questions for ACHD. If
you will, please, state your name and address.
Mills: Madam Mayor, Council Members, Bruce Mills, Ada County Highway District,
Garden City.
De Weerd: Bruce,] guess I have a question in terms -- I was a little concerned with the
comment that there is no public noticing when these applications coming from it -- in
front of ACHD and I'm not familiar with your process. Could you tell us what that is?
Mills: Madam Mayor, that is correct, actually. Ada County Highway District has 19 days
from when we receive a development application to turn it around and get it back to the
lead agency, as we are not the lead agency, and that's what one of the requirements for
notification are. We, actually, don't have public notification -- we don't have enough
time to do it, for one thing, and it's not a requirement that we have. We do place things
on our website several days before our meeting, but that is the only way at this present
time that we work with these other agencies. We have explored ideas before, but they
have never come to fruition with perhaps getting something put on your public
notification signs that would at least say for traffic concerns contact ACHD with a phone
number or something, but we -- but, anyway, that is -- that's where we are at at this time
with public notifications.
De Weerd: Now, I guess this would be for Mr. Nichols or Brad. When we send out our
public noticing, would the date at ACHD have already been set that we can include it in
ours?
Hawkins-Clark: Madam Mayor, no. When we receive the applications, we get them to
the city clerk's office, who usually just within a matter of a couple of days distributes the
30 copies around to all the agencies and departments. So, we are transmitting our
applications, you know, long before Ada County Highway District can know when their
dates are set. So, they do hold the tech review meetings, you know, which invites city
staffs to come and talk with their staff and the developers about the projects, but, again,
that's not a publicly noticed thing, so --
De Weerd: Wow. Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: Madam Mayor, just a quick question. Heard Mr. Mills say that they don't
provide noticing because they are not the lead agency and so I guess taking that into
consideration on this, Meridian is -- the City of Meridian is the lead agency for this
project; is that correct?
Mills: Mr. Wardle, that's correct. We are a recommending body to the city.
Meridian City Council
May 25, 2004
Page 42 of 59
Wardle: Okay. And just to follow up, Madam Mayor, it seems to me that in that case
that the City of Meridian has all the public hearing requirement for that? That -- I guess
what I'm saying is we are getting a recommendation from ACHD, but you're not -- you're
holding a public hearing -- I shouldn't say that. I'm sorry. You're holding a public
hearing, however, it's part of our process to notify the residents affected and incorporate
that into our hearings.
Mills: Mr. Wardle, it's not your requirement to notice our hearings, it just your
requirement to notice your own. It's possible when -- when your public notification is
sent out to those people, even though you don't know a date of an ACHD hearing, that
something could be put in there that's -- that mentions that ACHD will also be examining
this and holding a meeting and for more information contact this number. That's
possible, I think, maybe, but Brad is right, when he sends his notification out, we still
don't know when our hearing is going to be at this point
Wardle: Madam Mayor, just, I guess, a quick comment to agree with the comment that
the Mayor made at the beginning of this. While the City of Meridian is not the lead on
road changes, I do believe we have a commitment to safety within our city and so just
following up with some of those questions of Bruce.
Nary: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Yeah. I guess I would probably go even further. I think it is, as you said, Mr.
Mills, and correct me if I'm wrong, it is merely a recommendation from ACHD as to the
curb cuts and the locations and the roadways and the like. How the roads are built is
what ACHD really has jurisdiction over, but it is the city's ultimate decision on whether or
not to agree with those recommendations; isn't that correct?
Mills: Mr. Nary, that's correct. Basically, especially in looking at the two driveways in
question on the west side Ten Mile, again, they meet spacing wise ACHD policy. The
440 feet away from the intersection for a full access and the 220 for a limited right in,
right out access. While they meet our minimum policy requirements, you certainly have
the ability to decide whether you wish to keep them or change them.
Nary: Thank you.
De Weerd: Now, if they meet your minimums on an arterial -- are those arterials?
Arterial requirements?
Mills: Correct.
De Weerd: Okay. And I would like to get back to the north Meridian plan that I have
assumptions are still out there somewhere and being worked on, but on intersection
improvements, where are we at with intersection improvements in this north Meridian
Meridian City Council
May 25, 2004
Page 43 of 59
area and can you ask funds to go towards the lighted intersection improvements and
have you?
Mills: Madam Mayor, at the present time the impact fees that we collect are for projects
that are in the 20 year capital improvements plan and I believe there are some
intersections -- I don't know how many of them are in the north Meridian plan, but there
are several in there and there are also a few roadway segments. Obviously, those were
based on a Compass model run that was performed years ago -- a few years ago,
anyway, and when Compass updates that model, no doubt they will update the
demographics and it will show that north Meridian, obviously, in the last couple of years
is growing much faster than they had previously modeled. I believe at that time that
they run that model and that we update our capital improvements, which is right now
about two and a half more years away. When that is done, that will likely show
additional signals and additional roadway improvements in the Meridian area, which,
then, will be funded in that particular way. We do not at this present time have any
extraordinary impact fees that we are adding on in the north Meridian area. We are
leaving some language in our -- in our site specific requirements that says that we are
asking that there not be an opposition for developments that are being approved, that
they could still fall under some type of an extraordinary impact, but we have not
analyzed in any way at this point in time how we come up with those fees and charge
them.
De Weerd: So, you're saying that in order to do that, you need to wait for an update
Compass model and that's two years off? Can they be asked to update theirs sooner
than that?
Mills: Madam Mayor, the latest schedule that I got for them was that their model would
be updated -- I'm trying to get the years right, but ACHD put our capital improvements
plan into place in October of 2003, so it would be in October 2006 where we would be
looking to update it and I believe Compass is going to have their model done in late
2005 or the start of 2006. That's the latest date I have heard from them.
De Weerd: I guess if Brad Watson can forward a request to Gary Smith and the
transportation task force or maybe the request can go through our Planning and Zoning
representative, but this really needs to be visited and I do believe we still have open-
ended conditions in development agreements that state the development would adhere
to whatever recommendations came out of the north Meridian plan and that should be
certainly a consideration by Council to be added to this development as well. So,
anything that is recommended through the north Meridian plan can be participated on
by this development as well. I guess that's the only questions I have for you. Is there
any further question from Council? Thank you, Bruce. Okay. Is there any further
testimony by the public? Okay. Would the applicant like to come up and respond?
McKay: Becky McKay. I'll just hit on a few of the key points. Mr. Denny asked about
inappropriate uses, such as adult businesses. They were not on our approved list of
acceptable uses in any three of the zones. Mr. Crane has been very supportive. I'd like
,
!
Meridian City Council

Page 44 of 59
to thank him. He gave us a lot of good comments and he was very pleasant to work
with. For the record, I will work with Nampa-Meridian Irrigation District to make sure
that the pump station is not located directly across from his bedroom window, because
there is some noise associated with them, even though they are in an enclosed building.
So, I told him the location on the plan right there at that southwest corner was just an
arbitrary location that we would work with Nampa-Meridian to get our actual point of
delivery. But I'd like to go on the record that we will make sure that it's not outside his
bedroom window. Concern about the C-Stores that's pretty common. That's why I
believe we -- that type of use goes through a conditional use process, because there
are places that are appropriate, there are places that are inappropriate, and it's always
the purview of a city council to determine what is a good location. Also, as Councilman
Wardle indicated, the market determines what is a good location. He may be right.
This may be in appropriate; it may not be able to capture enough trips to be a preferable
site. Concerning Mrs. Wilder and her access, I guess one thing that I looked at -- I did
look at her access location. She does have a loop drive, so she is not backing -- having
a backing motion onto the arterial. I guess one question I had is when the Wilder's sold
their property, which became Hartford Estates as a residential subdivision, but, yet, kept
their home on the out parcel, why they did not provide for any internal access when they
have a cul-de-sac -- this is one inch equals 50 feet. There is a cul-de-sac it looks to be
about 35 feet from their property line and that would have, therefore, allowed a second
means of access, so she was not directly fronting on the arterial. And in hindsight, I
mean they are a developer, they probably didn't think about at some point in time Ten
Mile could be five lanes, but now the realization is here and so I'd just like to, you know,
make sure that the Council is aware of -- I can't correct mistakes of the past and we try
not to repeat those.
Rountree: Promise?
McKay: We try.
Bird: So do we.
McKay: I think these uses are as good as it gets. This property has to have some type
of use. We have got to be able to coexist with residential and the sewer treatment
plant, as I stated before. I can't think of any better uses than what -- the mix that we
have got. We have got a little -- you know, a different variety to appeal to different
markets. I don't see this property as developing very quickly, because this area is just
starting to grow and we may be a little ahead of the game as far as, you know, a lot of
office out here or flex space or something like that, but I think those are the appropriate
uses and J think the city recognizes that we have got to find something to put next to the
plant and I believe this is -- this is it. Do you have any questions?
Nichols: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Nichols.
Merldian City Council
May 25, 2004
Page 45 of 59
Nichols: Madam Mayor. Becky, did I hear you address Mr. Crane's concern about the
pathway and its connection to Ten Mile?
McKay: No, sir. Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, and Mr. Nichols, that's Idaho
Power property, so I can't -- I can't obligate Idaho Power, I can't construct on Idaho
Power property, I can only bring the pathway so that it abuts them. I guess I would
recommend that the city talk with Idaho Power. They are usually pretty good about
trying to work with the municipalities. Mr. Crane indicated that he had spoken with
someone from there and they had indicated they were going to use -- install a lot of
landscaping, buffering, making sure that this substation was esthetically pleasing. So,
as far as Incorporation of the pathway, it could go across Idaho Power property or it
could go on Nampa-Meridian property, because they now own Five Mile Creek in fee
simple. We don't have any easements on this, I don't believe. I think that's the property
line where their boundary ends. So, there is two options to extend that path, but I don't
know what I can -- you know, I can't force Idaho Power to do anything.
De Weerd: Brad, has that already been annexed in? Okay. So, they need to come
through for annexation and zoning.
Hawkins-Clark: Yes.
De Weerd: Okay.
Nary: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Nary.
Nary: Becky, on the off chance that Idaho Power doesn't want a pathway running along
their property -- I know Mr. Crane was talking about this sidewalk, but there is,
obviously, an internal sidewalk here; right?
McKay: Yes, sir.
Nary: So, why not connect the path right there, as an alternative, if this can't be
accomplished, rather than haVIng a path that starts here and ends there and has a no
man's land in the middle, why not at least connect it all the way through, since there is a
public sidewalk access right here.
McKay: Madam Mayor, Councilman Nary, that's correct, you could come down and
make that connection there. I think the idea of the multi-use path is it would follow the
creek. So, if Idaho Power is uncooperative, I know you guys have worked on
agreements with Nampa-Meridian where those pathways go onto their property. I don't
know -- so, there is another option. I guess the Council could put some type of a safety
factor in the condition that maybe a pathway easement be provided in the event that this
outlet cannot be obtained and, then, I guess the parks department, if Idaho Power didn't
and build it and wouldn't cooperate, they would have an easement that -- they could
Meridian City Council
May 25, 2004
Page 46 of 59
construct it and bring the pathway out. I guess that's an option, too. I would think it
would be in Idaho Power's best interest to be cooperative and I found them to be quite
reasonable. They -- you know, they need to be politically correct most of the time.
Wardle: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: I have a question, Ms. McKay. And I'm familiar with the -- or I guess I'll make a
statement and ask a question. I'm familiar with the term flex space and my idea of flex
space is the single story building next to where our Planning and Zone Department is on
Water Tower with office in the front and roll-up doors in the back. Could you further
define a contractor's yard for me?
McKay: Like, for example, Madam Mayor, Councilman Wardle, like a plumber, they
typically have things that are stored, but they have to be stored out of sight, either
enclosed or like a yard. Say a heating and cooling company, you know, electricians,
they may have rolls of different materials and -- like I said, it's got to be obscured, it
can't be visible and I guess you -- I think the ordinance requires that, but if you have
concerns, you could always add a condition that in the event that they had materials
stored on the site, they would have to be either in an enclosed building or behind a
sight-obscuring fence, if you're worried about esthetics. And I think I've had projects
where that condition was placed upon it, because I don't know -- I can't tell you exactly
who those users are going to be, but I want to make sure that -- that since they are
internal, they won't be coming back through the conditional use process, being internal,
that we make sure that they provide an esthetically pleasing environment.
Wardle: Madam Mayor, thank you, Becky, that's exactly what I was talking about, so --
McKay: Thank you.
De Weerd: Any further questions? Okay.
Wardle: Madam Mayor -- and just a comment on my comments on the convenience
store and I'm going to agree with Keith, mostly because if you look at this development,
I live -- or my home is somewhere right there and there are many Saturday mornings
where I woke up and wished that the convenience store was right here, so I could get
gas for the lawn mower. However, understanding that, I do agree with neighbors that
the residential properties which border it on the three sides would make that somewhat
of a nuisance to the neighbors and so I -- while I agree with the -- in theory that, that
type of use may be nice for some of the residents, it would put other residents, which
are directly affected, in essentially, a nuisance zone and so that's my opinion on the
convenience store section of this project.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
Meridian City Council
May 25, 2004
Page 47 of 59
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: And to say that -- you know, I don't think that we are saying that definitely just --
there is going to be a convenience store and a gas station there, it's going to -- a lot like
Shawn said earlier, it's going to take what the market demands out there. But -- and it's
in a CUP, so they have to come back before the Council to get approval to put it in
anyway. I just -- I don't know, I just hate to see that we would tie their hands to get a
Fred Meyers or an Albertson's that wanted a gas station. Some gentleman stated that
Albertson's in -- on Ten Mile and Cherry Lane was going to get a gas station. They
have tried twice and, we have turned it down. They are not big enough. They don't
have enough parking lot. So, I think that -- I just don't want to see it stricken as an area
that could be explored. And nobody's going to go out there and stick something up that
isn't going to be profitable. So, that was my statement on it. And I think that area does
need a gas station. I don't know about a convenience store.
Nary: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I would agree with Councilman Bird as well, that all the Planning and Zoning did,
which I don't agree with, is strike that as an option to consider and the CUP as the
method in which to address those concerns. I lived across the street from a
convenience store, a Circle-K, for nine years. It is not by itself a problem. There can be
problems. We have seen lots of good ones built here in this community, like Hark's
Corner. [don't think those people having bought those houses right behind Hark's
Corner at the corner of Linder and Franklin because it's built nicely, it's done well. It can
be done well and that's what the CUP process is for to be sure it is done well. I respect
Deputy Borquist's opinion about the type of clientele that some of these draw, but they
don't all draw that. They are nice convenience stores. There are lots of them in lots of
areas. Some of the older ones do front rental properties and trailer parks, as was
stated, but rental parks and trailer property is not bad people. So, you know, to have
the option to consider it in the future, I don't have a problem with that. That's the
purpose of the process is to make a determination at the time they ask for it, whether or
not it was appropriate. The people that -- on those three corners have fences -- if my
recollection is right, there is fences on everyone of these properties that are on that
corner -- if you have that other picture up, Brad. On that this -- there is a fence that runs
all along this property on both sides. There may be an opening in the fence, but there is
a fence on both sides. There is a wall on this property on the corner and right now there
is a single family home on the corner, but there is fences all along here. I mean this is
not like this is some invitation to mayhem and crime in this corner just because there is
a C-Store there or a gas station two years, five years from now. Councilman Bird's
right, they have turned down the gas station at Albertson's at Ten Mile twice in the last
eight years. So, you know, for this area, with the growth and development there, that is
at least a reasonable use to consider at some point in the future. Everything else -- this
is great. We asked these folks with this property to do something else that they had
tried. We turned it down; they came back with exactly what we asked them to do. We
Meridian City Council
May 26, 2004
Page 48 of 69
asked them to come up with flex space, we can make some changes, as Mrs. McKay
suggested, regarding making sure that any contractor type of yard is in an enclosed
building or in some covered space or site obscuring space in the rear of the property. I
think I do agree with Councilman Bird, though -- and I don't know whether or not we
need to continue the plat, but I can't agree to that right in, right out driveway 220 feet
from the corner. But other than that, this is a good project and this is a good option for
this project to consider at some point in the future. If it doesn't work and all of those
neighbors come back and the Council, whoever is sitting here at that point in time
decides not to do it, that's the risk the developer takes. They know that. But just to
wipe that out now just doesn't make any sense.
De Weerd: Is there any further comments?
Rountree: Nothing left more to say.
De Weerd: Okay.
Hawkins-Clark: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes.
Hawkins-Clark: If I could just point out for the record and for the public, that the way that
the development agreement is worded, that the hours of operation in the I-L and L-O
areas would be restricted -- now I just lost it. Oh, there it is. 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. in
the I-L and L-O. That is the way that it's worded and I believe they are in agreement
with that, but just -- that is the way that the condition is worded right now. It does not
address the corner, the C-G, but it does address the rest of the project.
De Weerd: Thank you, Brad. Okay.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Bird.
Bird: Nobody else has anything to say, well, I would move that we close Items 17 and
18, the public hearings for McNelis Subdivision by Falcon Creek, LLC.
Nary: Second.
De Weerd: It's been moved and seconded to close Items 17 and 18. All those in favor
say aye. All ayes. Motion carried.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
De Weerd: Okay. Is there any further discussion or is there a motion that anyone
would like to make to consider?
Meridian City Council
May 25, 2004
Page 49 of 59
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: On the annexation would we close the road at that time or that would be under the
preliminary plat?
De Weerd: Oh, Mr. Nichols.
Rountree: Mr. Nichols.
De Weerd: I thought you would just talk without it.
Nichols: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, what you have done in the past is if
you're going to require a condition, such as limiting the number of accesses from the
arterial, that you do so in the annexation and zoning requirements, as a condition that
would be included in the development agreement and that would be part of what you
would do there. So, if there -- if you're going to eliminate an access, then, you would do
that in the annexation and zoning. And also you would also want to address the issue
of -- if you're going to restrict uses, I'd also recommend that you restrict them in the
annexation and zoning.
De Weerd: And if they were to add a condition regarding the north Meridian plan
conditions.
Nichols: Yes.
De Weerd: All under zoning. Okay. Or annexation and zoning.
Bird: Annexation and zoning
De Weerd: Right. Were you making a motion or--
Bird: No. I was asking a question.
De Weerd: Is Mr. Nary making a motion?
Nary: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Nary.
Nary: I would move the approval of AZ 04-004, the request for annexation and zoning
for McNelis Subdivision, to include also in the development agreement a couple of
additional conditions that the access point onto Ustick that was right in, right out as
shown on the preliminary plat be eliminated, that there be a pathway easement for
Meridian City Council
May 25, 2004
Page 50 of 59
connectivity between the north and south point of the pathway on the northern part of
the property line, that the additional conditions is that on the I-L properties, that if a
contractor yard is constructed, that the materials must be either in an enclosed building
or behind site obscuring fences in the rear of the property and that the convenience
store and gas station be included as conditional uses that can be considered for the
C-G zone on the -- on the corner of Ten Mile and Ustick. Does that cover all the
conditions? Is that the area we should cover, Mr. Nichols?
Nichols: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, Councilor, I believe you said Ustick
instead of Ten Mile.
Nary: You're right. You're correct. Told from everybody. It was right in, right out on
Ten Mile, not Ustick that would be removed.
Rountree: Cross-access.
Nary: And that -- thank you. And that there be cross-access between the commercial
properties and the L-O properties that abut the rear street.
Bird: And if -- would this include if -- in a contractor's yard that any company vehicles,
lettered company vehicles and stuff, be behind fencing or enclosure, too, so that they
are not out in the public view?
Nary: Overnight.
Bird: Yeah.
Nary: Right. Yes. That all of the -- all types of company vehicles and equipment would
be also behind sight obscuring fencing in the non-working hours. And I think that's -- I
think that's all of those.
Bird: I'll second it.
De Weerd: Okay. As long as you don't ask me to repeat that. Is there any further
discussion or questions?
Wardle: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: Just discussion. I agree with the motion almost in total. The one part that I
can't agree with and, obviously, I have expressed it before, is the convenience store,
so --
De Weerd: Thank you.
Meridian City Council
May 25,2004

Rountree: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: A question on the cross-access. Is that to all lots?
Nary: You know, at this juncture, yeah, I would say to all lots, because they are going to
have to decide exactly where the lots are going to be, so if that won't work, they are
going to have to come back and ask for it to be amended, so yes.
Rountree: Thank you.
De Weerd: Okay. Any further discussion? Ms. Deputy Clerk, will you call roll.
Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Wardle, nay; Nary, yea.
MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES. ONE NAY.
De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. Item 15.
Nary: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I'd move the approval of PP 04-004, the preliminary plat for McNelis Subdivision,
with the appropriate changes in regards to the plat regards to the right in, right out
access on Ten Mile and for the plat, Mr. Nichols, is there -- do the other conditions need
to be present as well that we added to the development agreement or just the
driveway?
Nichols: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, and the cross-access.
Nary: Oh, and the cross-access. Thank you. The cross-access also be to all
properties adjacent to commercial property on the corner as well.
Bird: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. It's been moved and seconded to approve Item 16. Any further
discussion? Okay. Mrs. Deputy Clerk.

MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES. ONE NAY.
De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. And Item 16, CUP 04-004. I'm sorry. Item 18. We just
did both of them. Okay. [just wanted to remind staff, if we can make comments on the

updated Compass model -- or model and the transportation task force, as well as if we
can also put some kind of notification that transportation meetings will held at ACHD
and to have a contact number or a website. If you could work something out in that
between Planning and Zoning and the clerk's office, that would be very appropriate. I
guess I did not know that the public was not noticed on those hearings.
Rountree: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: If I might make a comment to staff. I applaud you and appreciate your
comments on traffic in this particular application and more of it would be appreciated.
De Weerd: Here. Here.
Nary: Nothing more needs to be said.
Item 19:
Public Hearing: PP 04~003 Request for Preliminary Plat approval of 2
building lots on 2.7 acres in an I-L zone for Cafarelli Subdivision No.2
by Shawn Fickes - 1950 West franklin Road:
De Weerd: Okay. Item 19 is Public Hearing PP 04-003. I will open with staff
comments.
Hawkins-Clark: Thank you. This application does just involve the one -- the one
request and that is to re-subdivide an existing lot in Cafarelli Subdivision. Cafarelli
Subdivision are the three lots that front franklin just about a quarter mile -- excuse me --
about a quarter mile west of Linder Road. The Sanitary Service Company and Meridian
School District have this property immediately to the west. There is all industrially
zoned land surrounding this. It is already annexed in and is zoned light industrial. They
are not proposing any changes there. The request is to basically just do a split of the lot
into two buildable lots. The property does have -- does show a shared access ingress-
egress easement here on the east boundary with the existing building and lot that's
there. There is, as you probably well know, a private -- about a 50, 55 foot wide road
easement that is constructed by the school district to serve their bus facility here and
what the application -- or the Planning and Zoning Commission is recommending to you
is that -- that there only be in the future one point of access, possibly, to that roadway
and that would be this 25 foot wide easement that you see graphically depicted here
between the two lots. However, as was testified at the Planning and Zoning
Commission hearing by the applicant, Mr. Bigham with the school district, they have had
conversations, they really don't know exactly, is my understanding, of whether this will
become public or not. It think he envisions it will. Until there is a final determination on
whether this is going to be public or not, the recommendation is to close off the access
until some agreement is made in the future between all the parties as to how this will be
utilized, if there is a signal on Franklin, et cetera. So, at this point they are showing a
20-foot wide easement all the way up the whole west boundary adjacent to that
Meridian City Council
May 25, 2004
Page 53 of 59
roadway. That would be, basically, a landscape easement and this 25 foot cross-
access for future potential access there. Until that point this shared driveway would be
used between the two lots. Eight Mile Lateral does run on the north boundary of this
property, which has a pretty good size easement on it. That's to be left open. So, I
think those are the main highlights that staff has to offer on this one.
De Weerd: Thank you, Brad. Any questions? Okay. Is the application here? Kevin,
were you already sworn in?
Amar: I am not.
De Weerd: Okay. Is the testimony you provide tonight the truth, the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Amar: It is.
De Weerd: Thank you. Please state your name and address.
Amar: For the record, Kevin Amar, address 114 East Idaho, number 230, in Meridian. I
am here representing Cafarelli Subdivision NO.2. As Brad stated, it is a simple lot split
or we are requesting a simple lot split. We have read and understand the conditions of
approval that are being asked of us and we do agree with those conditions of approval.
Some of the items with respect to the issues that Brad had raised, the access to this site
currently is using the existing access as was approved with Cafarelli Subdivision off of
Franklin Road. So, we are not requesting any new accesses, in fact, using the existing
access that is currently being used by Regal Industries. Also, with respect to the road
on our western boundary, it is not known at this time when that road will be public and
we understand until it becomes such, we have no right to access that. For that reason
we are putting a landscaping strip -- actually creating an additional lot -- two additional
lots, one in this location and one in this location, for the express means of landscaping,
understanding that in the future we can -- we can access that roadway when and if it
becomes public. So, that is looked at, so there will be -- there will be access. Other
items we are comfortable meeting or wanting to do two uses that are allowed within this
-- within this zone and asking for a simple lot split.
De Weerd: Thank you. Any questions? Mr. Nichols.
Nichols: Mr. Amar, is this property where the overgrown weeds in the landscape is
along Franklin? Is that where this is?
Amar: If you can call them weeds. There are big trees.
Nichols: And there is a bunch of grass. It's not a well-maintained landscape.
Meridian City Council
May 25, 2004
Page 54 of 59
Amar: Not well maintained. No. And it was the last lot within Cafarelli Subdivision, so it
has become the dumping yard of anything and everything out there. It definitely needs
cleaned up.
Nichols: Since I drive by it several times, I notice there is a lot of concrete debris and --
you're going to maintain the landscape strip along Franklin there?
Amar: Well, we are going to improve it It needs -- it needs developed at this point. If
you want any fill, you could -- you're welcome to run out there and --
Bird: Help yourself.
De Weerd: How generous.
Amar: And that offer is extended to any of you.
Rountree: It's free.
Nary: When he says any of you, he means anyone in the City of Meridian.
Amar: Yeah.
Nary: Not just the seven of us sitting up here.
Amar: That's correct.
De Weerd: Doug, do you need any dirt?
Amar: Well, we don't have any of that. It's just all concrete.
Bird: I was just going to say --
De Weerd: Oh, concrete.
Bird: We haul that stuff off.
De Weerd: Okay. I'm sorry. Is there any further questions? It must be late.
Amar: Not as late as it could be. Thank you.
De Weerd: Is there anyone else who would like to provide testimony on this item?
Okay. Any further comment, questions, soap box statements?
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Bird.

Item 20:
Ordinance No.
Commission Ordinance:
Parks and Recreation
De Weerd: Okay. Item 20 is Ordinance 04-1080. Would the Deputy City Clerk please
read this ordinance by title only?
Green: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. Ordinance No. 04-1080,
an Ordinance of the City of Meridian, Idaho, repealing Chapter 2, Title 2 of Parks and
Meridian City Council
May 25, 2004
Page 56 of 59
Recreation Commission of the Meridian City Code, providing for conflict, validity,
savings clause and providing for an effective date.
De Weerd: Thank you . You have heard the ordinance 04-1080 by title only. Is there
anyone who would like hear it read in its entirety? Don't say yes and leave.
Nary: We can reconsider the last one.
Nichols: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Nichols.
Nichols: Madam Mayor, I would ask that in the motion to approve that we amend the
caption to include the words and reenacting a new Chapter 2, Title 2. I missed that in
the draft. I'm sorry.
De Weerd: Council, I guess I had -- we had this in front of us in a pre-Council and I
guess I just had a couple of questions and -- or items that I would like to hear some
discussion on. The first one would be in item 22-1-B4, which on page two, and that's
talking about ex-officious and this is where they chose to move the youth representative
and make it a non-voting and I didn't know what the purpose was for making the youth
member a non-voting member.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Bird.
Bird: Let me ask you a question, Mayor. Is that the last one? Because we got one that
we didn't discuss before pre-Council and, then, we got another one and I'm quite
shocked that it's on the agenda. We got another one that was -- and I have not had a
chance to go through and see what the changes were on the -- on the second one we
got from the attorneys. We just got it the end of last week, I think it was, wasn't it, Tara?
Green: I believe it was May 14th that we received the latest one.
Bird: May 14th.
Nary: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes.
Nary: And maybe, Mr. Bird, maybe we should set it over. The direction -- and I could
be wrong, but my recollection was the direction after pre-Council was we made the
recommended changes and said put it on the Council agenda, so that is why it's there.
But we have had some technical difficulties accessing the information this weekend, so I
mean maybe it would be better to set this matter over and -- to give us that time.
Meridian City Council
May 25, 2004
Page 57 of 59
Bird: Well, I think the Mayor's got a couple of good points and [ don't -- can't remember
if that's what -- there was a couple of little changes and I can't remember if that was one
of them. Why get a youth on there if we are not going to let them vote? I want their
voice. I mean I think they -- I think they got every right to have a voice.
De Weerd: Well, since we have not had the opportunity to take a look at this in
complete -- in total, why don't we continue this until next week. We will just put it on
next week's agenda and bring your comments and -- Mr. Nichols?
Nichols: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I think the only change that was made
-- and I -- ] believe this is it -- it was on page two in item three, we changed the wording
with regard to membership on the Parks and Rec. Commission of a resident of the area
of impact. We had before may include a resident of the area of impact, but in the
proposed agreement that we forwarded to Ada County, which is modeled after the
Boise city, Ada County agreement with regard to collecting park impact fees, that
agreement requires one membership from -- at least one from the area of impact. So, I
did -- I did make that change before it came back to you, but I think that should be the
only change. I think the rest of the provisions were as before, we just simply cleaned up
the comment language and took those things out. But, you know, we invite, you know,
whatever scrutiny you want to give it and whatever changes you want to make.
De Weerd: Yeah. And I appreciate that. I think when it was on the pre-Council, there
was still the question as to what the county would ask for, but also I think there was
some cleaning up and taking some stuff out, blue and red and stuff like that. So, this is
the first time we have seen it in black and white and I believe it was the direction of
Council to get the blue and red and stuff out, to have it in a more readable form, and so
it is appropriate that we just continue this until next week. I'm sure Mr. Wardle and
Doug Strong would probably have liked to have reported on this tomorrow tonight at the
commission meeting. Is that tomorrow night? Oh, that was last week. Where I am?
Wardle: Madam Mayor, typically, the second Wednesday of each month, so --
De Weerd: Okay. Well, they can report on it next month, then.
Bird: A least that's what it's been for six years.
Nary: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes.
Nary: I was going to say on the youth member, probably the one area that -- and the
youth members on the Boise commissions, the one area that they have found the most
success in having a voting member is the parks commission, in having the youth
members. So, it, actually, has been by far the most successful and Mr. Hall, the parks
director -- I'm not speaking for him, but I think would echo that. He's said that to me
Meridian City Council
May 25, 2004
Page 58 of 59
more than once, that they found that to be a valuable member of the commission was
the youth member. So, I would agree that it doesn't really make much sense to have
that position and not have them be a voting member.
Bird: And their commission is so successful. It's been so successful. Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Bird.
Bird: I'd like to ask Mr. Wardle if he knows why they didn't want that youth to be a voting
member.
Wardle: Madam Mayor, Mr. Bird, I do not recall that being addressed and I'm going to
defer to Director Strong to ask if he remembers that specific discussion.
Strong: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, please, restate the question.
De Weerd: Go ahead.
Wardle: Doug, we have a question as to in the previous ordinance, the youth member
was a voting member and in this current version is not. I couldn't recall a specific
discussion.
Strong: I believe that's correct. I don't think there has been any discussion about youth
member participation in the past at all. I don't recall whether it's even addressed in the
previous ordinance or not. I think there is a clause that there may be a youth member.
I believe that's the way it's stated.
De Weerd: I guess--
Bird: Thank you. That answers mine, Mayor.
De Weerd: -- it was in the recommendation by the commission and it has been stricken
and, then, put somewhere else in a different way. So, it had been in there. Anyway, we
can discuss that next week and --
Wardle: Thank you, Madam Mayor, and I was just going to suggest that we do hold this
over and I know that from the commission's standpoint, just to report back to you, they
are anxious to see this, but -- to see it approved and passed. However, they would like
it done correctly, so that they can -- they can really utilize it to benefit the city. And with
that -- I'm sorry. Mr. Nichols.
Nichols: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes.
Meridian City Council
May 25,2004
Page 59 of 59
Nichols: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, if we could -- if you come next week
prepared to tell us what changes you will make, then, I will come back with a clean one
and we can clean up the title and have it a week later. So, rather than me cleaning up
the title and, then, revising it again, if you choose to change some of the language, I'll
just leave it alone for now and you can tell us next week what changes you want to
make.
De Weerd: Okay. Sorry.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Bird.
Bird: I would move with that that we continue Ordinance No. 04-1080 to June 1st, 2004.
Rountree: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. It's moved and seconded to continue this to next week, June 1 st,
2004. All those in favor say aye. All ayes. Motion carried.

Re: Sewer Service agreement
Dear Mayor and Council,
We would like to request a hearing before the Mayor and Council, perhaps at the May II pre-council
meeting.
On behalf of the Eagle Sewer District (unaffiliated with the City of Eagle) and ourselves, we are proposing
ajoint agency-to-agency agreement for sewer treatment. Within the Sewer districts area of service there is
approximately 350 acres of undeveloped land, which cannot be serviced now or anytime in the foreseen
future. However, the City of Meridian has trunk I ines in close enougb proximity to provide service to this
area. We understand that the primary responsibility of the city is to provide for its own area of service, and
that available additional capacity would have to be determined. The area in question is located in Eagle
City's Area of Impact and is designated for no more than one unit per acre ofresidentiaJ development, a
very low density. Another understandable concern that may arise, would be setting some kind of
precedence for the "City of Meridian" providing sewer outside its own area. We believe the nature of the
agency-to-agency agreement would remove this concern. The Eagle Sewer District and the City of Garden
City have similar agreements with the City of Boise, which have worked well for many years. We
understand that any costs associated with detennining capacity and/or actually hooking into your system
would be our responsibility.
Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter. Jf you require any additional infonnation, please
feel free to contact me at (208) 76]-4342. You may also correspond by mail to 8970 W. Duck Lake Dr.

J-U-B shall use the OWNER provided zoning and land use information and aerial
mapping to estimate the ultimate future flow that may potentially discharge to the
receiving sewer from currently undeveloped areas. Assumptions in this determination are
as follows:
III per capita flow contributions from parcels will be computed using parameters
used in the 2003 Sewer Master Plan Update and resulting peak flows will be
added to the HYDRA files at the Chinden Trunk at Linder Road.
E These peak flows from undeveloped land will be added in HYDRA to the current
modeled peak flows to determine the modified peale flows in each sewer segment.
J-U-B shall use the OWNER provided information to generate and evaluate:
III Estimated ultimate peale flows generated from the parcels in both options 1 and 2,
III Estimated incremental flows in the Meridian system considering both options,
III anticipated depth over diameter (dID) impacts in each sewer segment from the
receiving manhole on the Chinden Trunk to the WWTP> and
. Anticipated reserve capacity impacts in each sewer segment from the receiving
manhole downstream to the WWTP.
Analysis shall be conducted using Meridian 2003 Sewer Master Plan HYDRA model.
Evaluation shall be based on flows as published in the 2003 Sewer Master Plan Update.
2.3 Opinion of Probable Construction Cost
J-U-B shall prepare an opinion of probable construction cost for off-site sewer
improvements for both options as shown in Exhibits 1.1 and 1.23. These opinions of

Dear Mayor de Weerd,
The nearly one million members of the American Legion Auxiliary, the world's largest
patriotic service organization of women, are asking every elected and appointed official at
the local, state and national level to wear a poppy on the observance of Memorial Day,
Monday, May 31,2004.
Your poppy is enclosed and we ask that you wear it in honor of the millions of Americans
who have willingly served and who are currently serving our nation, all too many of who
have made the ultimate sacrifice. Additionally, I am asking if you will declare Saturday, May
29, American Legion Poppy Day in the city of Meridian. A proclamation is enclosed for
your consideration. American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary members will
distribute poppies on Saturday, May 29, 2004 in front of D and B Supply Company on
Fairview Avenue in Meridian from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
The poppy also honors the hospitalized and disabled veterans who make these red,
handcrafted flowers. The poppy continues to provide a financial and therapeutic benefit to
those veterans who construct them, as well as benefiting thousands of other veterans and
their families by the revenues collected from poppy distributions.
In the battle fields of Belgium during World War 1, poppies grew wild amid the ravages of
war. The overturned soils of battle enabled the poppy seeds to be covered, allowing
them to grow and forever serve as a reminder of the bloodshed of war.
We still recognize the sacrifice of our veterans and those serving our country today. Please
help the American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary honor these brave men and
women by wearing the enclosed poppy on Memorial Day. J look forward to your
response.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
./ I

FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
AND DECISION AND ORDER OF DENIAL OF V ARlANCE
FOR PACKARD ACRES SUBDIVISION NO.3 - (V AR-04-002)
PAGE 1 OF4
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The applicant is requesting a variance for the reduction ofthe setback from 20
feet to 13.55 feet for the existing house which is located on proposed Lot 21, Block 5. The
variance is requested from the 15 foot front yard setback which is allowed in the R-4 zone. The
15 foot front yard setback applies to the projected living space with the parking to be setback at
20 feet.
2. The variance would be inappropriate due to the fact that the existing home is a
little over 13 feet from the edge ofright-of-way, and due to the odd angle of the house, the side
of the house would be about 13 feet from the street. Additionally, the driveway to the existing
garage is recessed and angled from the road. If the variance was granted, if you moved a total of
106 square feet of building area it would encroach into the setback. Additionally, the garage
would have six square feet that would encroach into the setback area.
DECISION AND ORDER
Pursuant to the City Council's authority as provided in Meridian City Code
Section 12-3-5 and based upon the above and foregoing Findings of Fact which are herein
adopted:
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED AND THIS DOES ORDER, that the Council does hereby
deny the application for variance approvaL

Trat1sportation Policies Applicable to the Kissler-Dealv Annexation:
. "Large dewlopment proposals that are likely to generate significant traffic should
be assessed for their impact on the transportation system and surrounding lat1d uses,
They should be examined for ways to encourage all forms of transportation such as
transit, walking, and cycling.
. New development should not rely on cul-de-sacs since they provide poor fire
access, walkability, and neighborhood social life. New development and streets should
be designed to encourage walking and bicycling.
. In addition to providing for enhanced automobile traffic, Meridiat1 should seek
ways to encourage alternative modes oftrat1sport. Improvement in and encouraged use of
public transit systems is an important first step. Public transit includes bus systems and
ridesharing. By fostering such meat1S of high vehicle occupancies, congestion on
roadways can be decreased.
. Pathways that encourage use by bicyclists and pedestrians can decrease road
congestion and add to the community's quality of Iife. The proposed off-street and
multiple-use pathway systems are depicted in Figures VI-3 and VI-4. Newat1d existing
developments should ensure that the guidelines laid out in this plan at'e adopted.
Mixed Use Development Policies Applicable to the Kissler-Dealv Annexation:
. "Where feasible, multi-fmnily residential uses will be encouraged, especially for
projects with the potential to serve as employment destination centers and when the
project is adjacent to State Highways 20-26,55 or 69;
. Where mixed use developments are phased, a conceptual site plan for the entire
mixed use m'ea is encouraged with the development application or, depending on the
scope of the development, prior to a formal development application being submitted;
. In developments where multiple commercial and/or office buildings are proposed
(not residential), the buildings should be arranged to create some form of common, usable
area, such as a plaza or green space;

8. All building uses and storage practices shall comply with the International Building &

E. Adopt the action of the City Council taken at their February 24,2004 meeting as follows:
1. All uses must be approved through the Conditional Use Permit process as shown on
the Concept Plan, dated: DEC. 222003, NO. 1529, as presented at the February 24,
2004 City Council meeting, and which Concept Plan is hereby approved.
13. It is found that the 2002 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designates the
subject property as "Mixed Use - Regional." The purpose of this designation is "to provide for a
combination of compatible land uses that are typically developed under a master or conceptual plan, ,
.and to identify key areas [of the City] which are either infill in nature or situated in highly visible or
transitioning areas of the City where innovative and flexible design opportunities are encouraged.
The intent of this designation is to offer the developer a greater degree of design and use flexibility."
(See Chapter VII, pg. 97.) The requested C-G zoning generally conforms to this stated purpose and
intent of the MU-Regional designation.
It is also found that the following 2002 Comprehensive Plan text policies to be applicable to
this application (staff analysis is in italics below policy):
Mixed Use Area Comp Plan Policies (from Chapter VII)
. "All development within this designation will occur only under the Conditional Use
Permit process, except the Mixed Use-Regional (areas). A CUP application would not
be needed (for developments within the MU-Regional area) unless a project lies
within 300 feet of an existing residence or school or CUP is otherwise required per
ordinance."
The subject property falts within the MU-Regional designation. There is an existing
residence within 300 feet of the eastern boundary of the property. No existing or
proposed schools are within 300 feet of any portion of the property. The applicant
has stated a wilLingness to have all future development proceed through the CUP

AND DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION

(AZ-03-022)
PAGE 8 OF 21
process.
. "Where mixed use developments are phased, a conceptual site plan for the entire
mixed use area is encouraged with the development application or, depending on the
scope of the development, prior to a formal development application being
submitted";
No development application vvas submitted with the annexation, but it is anticipated
that development will occur in a phased manner. It is likely that the subject property
will develop in tandem with the Kissler property to the west. Given the narrow parcel
configuration and limited access points to Ustick Road, Staff believes it would be
beneficial to the City, adjacent property owners and future developers to have a
conceptual site/master plan preparedfor this area to demonstrate internal
access/circulation and buildingfootprints, etc. If the Commission and/or Council
want to review a conceptual site plan prior /0 a de/ailed CUP application being
submitted, such a requirement may be addressed as part of the DA. (See Site Specific
condition #3 below.)
. "Where the project is developed adjacent to low or medium density residential uses, a
transitional use is encouraged";
The property is adjacent to existing low density residential uses. A transitional use is
not specifically called out but could be addressed as part offuture CUP applications
or as part of a conceptual master plan, as noted above. Stafffinds that transitional
uses could be addressed as part oj future CUP applications.
. "Residential density allowed of 3 to 40 units/acre";
Not applicable. No residential uses are proposed.
. "No upper limit of non-residential uses (square footage)."
(See Chapter VII, pgs. 97-98, for the above-mentioned mixed use policies.)
. "Permit new. . .conm1ercial development only where urban services can be reasonably
provided at the time of final approval and development is contiguous to the City."
(Chapter IV, Goal I, Obj. A, #6)
The Public Works Department is currently completing construction oJthe South Slough
Trunk extension in the vicinity of this annexation. The sewer project extends the trunk
line to Eagle and Leslie Drive and Eagle and UstickRoad intersections. Municipal water
is currently available in Ustick Road. The legal descriptionfor the annexation does not

AND DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING APPLTCA TION
FOR ANNEXATION AND ZONING FOR KISSLER
(AZ-03-022)
PAGE 9 OF 21
place the property contiguous to the existing city limits, but the property would become
contiguous if the pending Kissler annexation application is approved.
. "Encourage high-tech, research, pharmaceutical firms and high-quality retail facilities,"
(Chapter IV, Goal II, Obj. A)
· "Locate new community commercial areas on arterials or collectors near residential areas
in such a way as to complement with adjoining residential areas." (Chapter VII, Goal I,
Obj, B, #5)
The subject property has fi'ontage on an arterial roadway (Ustick). If uses adjacent to
the existing residential land to the east are controlled either through a CUP or zoning,
future development could complement adjoining residential areas.
. "Develop incentives for high-density development along major transpOltation corridors
to support public transportation system," (Chapter VII, Goal IV, Obj. D, #7)
14. The general vicinity of this project is experiencing a rapid change from agricultural
and low density residential uses to commercial/urban type development. Mm1icipal water was
extended east of Eagle Road a few years ago to serve Summer's Funeral Home. Providence Place
Subdivision is a large, urban density residential subdivision located in Boise City less than 600 feet
east of the subject parcel. W.H. Moore Company, who owns the 55+ acres at the nOlthwest comer of
Ustick and Eagle, has had numerous discussions with the City regarding their intentions to develop a
commercial/office parle It is found that a rezone of the proposed property would be compatible with
other land use and facility changes in the area.
15. No uses are proposed with this application. Certain permitted uses in the C-G zone
such as bus stations, outdoor entertainment uses, wholesale facilities and service stations, could have
a negative impact on the existing residential uses. The Dealy parcel is designated as future mixed use
in the comprehensive plan. It is found that any future uses, if designed, constructed and operated in
accordance with adopted city ordinances and future CUP applications, should be harmonious and
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
AND DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION
FOR ANNEXA nON AND ZONING FOR KISSLER
(AZ-03-022)
PAGE 10 OF 21
appropriate in appearance with the existing character of the vicinity.
16. It is found that the majority of future uses on the subject property will not be
hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighboring uses if all development and landscape
buffer ordinances are exercised. Some uses may be disturbing to existing residential uses to the east.
17. It is found that roadway improvements will be required on Ustick Road to handle the
additional traffic generated by future development. Sanitary sewer and water are either currently
available or under construction to provide service to the area. All other public services and facilities
appear to be adequate to service this property.
18. It is found that this development will not cause excessive additional requirements at
public cost. The South Slough Trunk extension was funded by the City of Meridian. Other required
site improvements will be funded and constructed by the developer. It is also found that the
annexation and zoning alone will not be detrimental to the community's economic welfare.
19. It is found that several oftlle allowed uses in the C-G zone may involve activities,
processes, materials, equipment or conditions that could produce excessive traffic and noise and have
other public impacts. MCC 11-12-2 and 11-12-3 are intended to mitigate impacts of some uses such
as fire hazards, bulk storage, and contractor's yards. To comply with this finding, a CUP shall be
required for future uses.
20, It is found that any future uses will impact the level and flow of traffic on the
surrounding streets. Specific traffic counts will be determined at the time of development
application. In accordance with Comp Plan policy #12 (pg. 79) and policy #2 (pg. 107), it is found
that the number of vehicular access points to Ustick Road should be restricted and comply with
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LA W
AND DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION
FOR ANNEXA IrON AND ZONING FOR KISSLER
(AZ-03-022)
PAGE 11 OF 21
ACHD policies in order to preserve the capacity and movement on these roadways at build-out.
21. It is found that the proposed annexation will not result in the destruction, loss or
damage of natural features.
22. It is found that the annexation of this property would be in the best interest of the
City for the following reasons:
. increased commercial land base available to future developers;
. increased property tax revenue;
. municipal services are available to the area; and
. application substantially complies with the Comprehensive Plan.
It is also found that, based upon the information submitted in the application, it is difficult
for the Commission and Council to fully determine "best interest" factors, since no future
users are known at this time. The CUP/PD process does grant the City a fairly high degree
of design and use review authority, but the additional demand on staff to process such
applications should also be considered.
23. 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 all sub-parts, the economic
welfare of the City and its residents and tax and rate payers will be protected, a condition of
almexation and zoning designation.
24. It is also fcund 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 ofthe 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,

VI, Goal II, Objective A, Action item 3)
This publication encourages jurisdictions to establish bikeway and walkway facilities
in new construction and reconstruction projects, in a manner that is safe, accessible
and convenient. The applicant will be required to construct sidewalk on 2~ Street
abutting the site.
The applicant has requested modifications to the standard lot size, setback, driveway and
frontage requirements of the R -15 zone. Staff finds that if the Commission and Council grant the
applicant the requested modifications with the CUP/PD, and the applicant complies with the
conditions included in this report, the lot configuration and overall design of the subdivision
would be in general conformance with the City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan. Please see
Conditional Use Permit Analysis below for further assessment of the proposed development and
associated deviations from development standards.
B. The availability of public services to accommodate the proposed development;
If approved, the developer will be financing the extension of sewer, water, utilities and irrigation
services needed to serve the project. The primary public costs to serve the future residents will be
fire and police services. The site is serviced by city water and sewer currently. The City of
Meridian owns and maintains an existing sewer line that bisects this property. The Preliminary
Plat indicates that this main may not be within it's existing easement. The applicant should
confirm the location of this line and grant the City an easement for the line if it is outside of the
existing easement. See Special Consideration "R" and Site Specific Condition #6 of the
Preliminary Plat below.
On January 23, 2004, a Jomt agency/department comments meeting was held with
representatives of key service providers to this property. The Meridian Fire and Police
Departments have submitted comments and conditions, which are listed at the end of this report.
Staff finds that public services can be made available to accommodate the proposed
development.
Staff recommends that the Commission and Council reference the comments and conditions
from the various agencies and departments, regarding their ability to adequately service this
project.
C. The continuity of the proposed development with the capital improvement program;
Exhibit "A" 4 of20
Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council
Hearing Date: March 18,2004
Page 5
Because the developer is installing sewer, water, and utilities for the development at their cost,
staff finds that the subdivision will not conflict with the capital improvement program.
D. The public financial capability of supporting services for the proposed development;
Staff finds that the City and its related services are capable of servicing the proposed
development. The development will not require major expenditures for providing supporting
services. Staff recommends that the Commission and Council reference any written and/or verbal
testimony submitted by the Meridian Police and Fire Departments with regard to their capability
to serve the proposed development.
E. The other health, safety or environmental problems that may be brought to the
Commission's attention.
Staff is not aware of any health, safety or environmental problems associated with this
subdivision that should be brought to the Councilor Commission's attention. Staff has not
identified any environmental problems that may be associated with the development of this site.
ACHD considers road safety issues in their analysis, and ACHD staff has recommended, with
conditions, approval of the subject subdivision. Staff recommends that the Commission and
Council reference any public testimony that may be presented to determine whether or not the
proposed subdivision may cause health, safety or environmental problems of which staff is
unaware.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS (PRELIMINARYIFINAL PLAT)
A. Access and Parking: As part of the CUPIPD application, the applicant is requesting a waiver of the
requirement to provide public street frontage to each lot. Rather than constructing a public or private
street, the applicant is proposing to construct a common drive aisle for all 11 dwelling units to use as
access to the public street system. See Special Consideration "A" in the Conditional Use PennitAnalysis
below.
Cross Access Agreement: The applicant is proposing to utilize one access point onto 212 Street to serve
the development. ACHD staff has previously reviewed and approved the access point for compliance
with policy. The access point, drive aisle, and parking are all part of the common driveway lot (Lot 1,
Block 1). Therefore, the applicant should be required to either provide a note on the plat stating that Lot
1, Block 1, is a common lot for ingress/egress and parking for all of the lots in the development,
AND/OR record a cross parking/cross access agreement for all of the lots within the subdivision to
utilize Lot 1, Block 1. Maintenance of Lot 1, Block 1, should also be provided for with a note on the
plat, AND/OR a recorded document such as CCR's. See Site Specific Condition #2 and Special
Consideration "A" in the Conditional Use Permit Analysis below.
Drive Aisles and Parking Design: As stated earlier, the applicant is not proposing to construct a public
or private street for this development. The proposed common drive aisle lot (Lot 1, Block 1) is 25-feet
Exhibit "A" 5 of20
Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council
Hearing Date: March 18, 2004
Page 6
wide and includes 90-degree parking stalls, off the driveway, for all of the units. Staff is supportive of
the general design of the proposed driveway, with one notable exception. The east leg of the driveway is
longer than 150-feet and requires a Fire Department approved turnaround. To remedy this, the applicant
should rotate the three eastern most parking stalls to face east, not south as proposed. This will make the
driveway, east ofthe proposed Fire Department turnaround/basketball court, less than ISO-feet. NOTE:
The applicant has submitted a revised site plan reflecting the above-requested change. At the Planning &
Zoning Commission hearing, staff will provide analysis of the revised drive aisle and parking design. All
areas adjacent to driveways, parking lots, or other vehicle use areas, must be protected by curbing, wheel
stops, or other approved protective devices. Curbing may be cut to allow for storm water runoff. All
curbing adjacent to the turnaround and entrance areas shall be painted red and signed "No Parking Fire
Lane". See Site Specific Condition #3 and Special Consideration "A" in the Conditional Use Permit
Analysis below.
B. Buildin~ Setbacks: The required front setback in the R-15 zone is 20 feet. The required side setback is 5
feet per story. The required rear setback is 15-feet (MCC 11-9-1). The varied orientation of the multi-
family buildings makes it difficult to delineate the front, rear and side setbacks, as the yards between the
tri-plex on Lot 4 and the proposed four-plex on Lot 3, as well as the yards on the adjacent properties, do
not match up. The applicant has requested that the required building setbacks be reduced. Staff is
supportive of allowing the proposed building setbacks because the applicant has requested this as part of
the Planned Development and because this modification will allow for the higher densities as envisioned
with the Comprehensive Plan for this area. See Conditional Use Special Consideration "A" below for
further analysis.
C. Landscape Plan: The submitted landscape plan, prepared by Tamura & Associates, and dated 1-7-04 is
not approved as submitted. The following should be included in a revised landscape plan:
Street Buffers: Meridian City Code 12-13-10-4 requires a 10-foot wide landscape buffer along local
streets. In accordance with Meridian City Code, the applicant should provide a 1 O-foot wide landscape
buffer along 212 Street. Said landscape buffer shall be delineated on the plat. Said landscape buffer shall
not preclude the construction of hard-surface driveways. Landscaping shall be in accordance with MCC
12-13-10.
Existing Trees: Any tree over 4" in caliper that is removed from the property shall be replaced by
installing additional trees, being the equivalent number of caliper inches of trees that were removed.
Required landscaping trees will not be considered as replacement trees for those trees that may be
removed (MCC 12-13-13-3).
Land Use Buffers: Meridian City Code 12-13-12-5 requires a 20-foot wide landscape buffer between
multi-family and single-family uses. Meridian City Code 12-13-12-2 requires the land use buffer to be
provided by the higher intensity use and to be located on the building site of the higher intensity use.
As part of the approval for the salon directly to the south, the City granted a modification to code for the
landscaping adjacent to the subject site. Currently there are some low-lying shrubs from 2'i2 Street to
Exhibit "A" 6 of20
Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council
Hearing Date: March 18, 2004
Page 7
approximately 50-feet into the site along the shared property line. There is a 6-foot tall wooden fence and
a screened garbage receptacle past the shrubs. Because the higher-intense salon was not required to
provide a buffer to the subject site, staff is recommending that the applicant not be required to provide
the "standard" buffer. On the submitted landscape plan there are nine trees shown along the south
property line, with no new fencing. The width between the proposed four-plexes and the south property
line is approximately 9-feet. Staffis supportive of the proposed southern setback/buffer design as shown
on the submitted plans.
On the submitted landscape plan, the applicant is showing a 5-foot wide landscape buffer on the north
property line (between the existing single-family home to the north). As part of the approval for CUP-
03-038, the City Council required the applicant to construct fencing adjacent to the single-family home
to the north. Said fence shall be limited to 3 feet in height for the first 20 feet (measured from the west
property line), if the fence is a solid "closed vision" fence. This fencing requirement was approved as an
alternative to the standard landscaping requirement. NOTE: The applicant still needs to pay the
additional fee for the alternative compliance application/review (See Site Specific Condition #5 below).
The width of the other perimeter landscaping is consistent with the Landscape Ordinance. However,
MCC 12-13-11-2 requires one tree per thirty-five lineal feet with shrubs, lawn, or other vegetative
groundcover, adjacent to vehicular use areas along the perimeter of a development. Therefore, five trees
shall be installed along the north property line, east of the single-family lot, and three trees shall be
installed along the east property line.
D. Covenants, Codes, and Restrictions: In the applicant's submittal letter, it is stated that there are not
going to be any CCR's. However, after talking with the applicant the advantages of compiling CCR's
seem to outweigh not compiling them. Staff recommends that for maintenance and operation purposes of
the common areas, the applicant assemble CCR's for this development. See Site Specific Condition #7
below.
E. Pressure Irrigation: Underground year-round pressurized irrigation must be provided to all lots within
this development (MCC 12-5-2.N). The applicant has indicated that the Nampa & Meridian Irrigation
District will own and operate the required pressurized irrigation system within this development. The
City of Meridian requires that pressurized irrigation systems be supplied by a year-round source of water
(MCC 12-13-8.3). The applicant shall be required to utilize any existing surface or well water for the
primary source. If a surface or well source is not available, a single-point connection to the culinary
water system shall be required. If a single-point connection is utilized, the developer shall be responsible
for the payment of assessments for the common areas prior to signature on the final plat by the City
Engineer. An underground, pressurized irrigation system shall be installed to all landscape areas per the
approved specifications and in accordance with MCC 12-13-8 and MCC 9-1-28. See Site Specific
Condition #8 below.
F. Ditches, Laterals, and Cat).als: All irrigation ditches, laterals or canals, exclusive of natural waterways,
intersecting, crossing or lying adjacent and contiguous to the area being subdivided shall be tiled per
MCC 12-4-13. Plans will need to be approved by the appropriate irrigation/drainage district, or lateral

Page 8
users association (ditch owners), with written approval or non-approval submitted to the Public Works
Department. If lateral users association approval cannot be obtained, plans will be reviewed and
approved by the City Engineer prior to final plat signature. See Site Specific Condition #9 below.
G. Fire Hydrant: The Meridian Fire Department has indicated a need for a fire hydrant on this site (See Fire
Department Comments/Conditions below). The applicant should coordinate fire hydrant location and
construction with the Meridian Fire Department and Public Works Departments. See Site Specific
Condition #6 in the Final Plat Site Specific Conditions below.
H. Sewer EasementlLine: The City of Meridian owns and maintains an existing sewer line that bisects this
property. The Preliminary Plat indicates that this main may not be within the existing easement. The
applicant should confirm the location of this line and grant the City an easement for the line if it is
outside of the existing easement. See Site Specific #6 in the Preliminary Plat Site Specific conditions
below.

STANDARDS FOR CONDITIONAL USES
The Commission and Council shall review the particular facts and circumstances of each proposed
conditional use in terms ofthe following and may approve a conditional use permit ifthey find evidence
presented at the hearing(s) is adequate to establish (11-17-3):
A. That the site is large enough to accommodate the proposed use and all yards, open spaces,
parking, landscaping and other features as may be required by this ordinance;
On the submitted site plan, the applicant has shown enough parking to accommodate the
proposed uses. Although the site is large enough to accommodate all of the features required
Exhibit "A" 11 of20
Planning & Zoning CommissionlMayor & City Council
Hearing Date: March 18,2004
Page 12
by ordinance, the applicant has asked, through the Planned Development, to modify specific
development standards.
Relief from the frontage, setback, driveway, and lot size standards were specifically
requested in the conditional use permit (CUP/PD) application. Staff finds that none of the
proposed lots meet the frontage, setback, or lot size standards of the R-15 zone. Staffis
supportive of the requested lot frontage, setback, driveway, and lot site deviations because all
of the proposed buildable lots within the subdivision have access to the common
parking/drive lot and the proposed lots can accommodate the proposed building envelopes
with a modification to the standard setbacks. See Special Consideration "A" below for
detailed analysis of the allowable setbacks for this development.
Meridian City Code 12-13-16 requires all multi-family developments to provide common
open space that equals or exceeds ten percent ofthe gross land area. Common open space
means land exclusive of street rights-of-way and street buffers, except for right-of-way
specifically dedicated for landscaping within a subdivision. At a minimum, common open
space lots shall include one deciduous shade tree per 8,000 square feet and lawn, either seed
or sod (MCC 12-13-16-5). In addition to the common open space requirement, Meridian City
Code 12-6-2.AA states that all residential planned developments shall provide each dwelling
unit with at least one hundred square feet of useable private open space, such as a patio or
deck. The applicant has not addressed the common open space or the useable private open
space requirements for this development. See Special Consideration "C" below.
Staff finds that the site is large enough to accommodate the proposed uses and all yards, open
spaces, parking, landscaping and other features required by ordinance and/or by modifying
the requirements through the Planned Development and Alternative Compliance processes.
B. That the proposed use and development plan will be harmonious with the Meridian
Comprehensive Plan and in accordance with the requirements of this Ordinance;
Staff finds that the proposed development is harmonious with the current Comprehensive Plan
Land Use Map (2002) which designates the property as "High Density Residential". (See
Preliminary Plat Analysis "A" for detailed information regarding this finding.)
Stafffinds the development plan is, or can be made to be, in compliance with the requirements
ofthe Zoning Ordinance and the adopted Comprehensive Plan, if the applicant complies with the
Site Specific and General Conditions contained herein.
C. That the design, construction, operation, and maintenance will be compatible with other
uses in the general neighborhood and with the existing or intended character of the general
vicinity and that such use will not adversely change the essential character of the same
area;
Exhibit "A" 12 of20
Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council
Hearing Date: March 18, 2004
Page 13
Staff finds that the proposed apartment houses will be compatible with other uses in the
neighborhood and with the intended character of the general vicinity, which is essentially a mix
of residential and commercial uses. The Council and Commission should consider public
testimony when determining if the proposed use will change the essential character of the general
vicinity.
D. That the proposed use, if it complies with all conditions of the approval imposed, will not
adversely affect other property in the vicinity;
Staff does not anticipate the proposed use will have an adverse affect on other property in the
vicinity if designed, constructed, operated and maintained in accordance with the Site Specific
and General Conditions of approval. Staff recommends that the Commission and Council rely
upon public testimony, staff s analysis, and other agency comments when determining if the
proposed uses will adversely affect the other properties in the vicinity.
E. That the proposed use will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services
such as highways, street, police, and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal,
water, sewer or that the person responsible for the establishment of proposed conditional
use shall be able to provide adequately any such services;
The subject site has adequate access to Fairview Avenue and Main Street via local streets in the
area. The City of Meridian Fire and Police Departments currently monitor, service, and protect
the subject neighborhood. Sanitary Services Company currently provides refuse service to the
site and surrounding properties. The site is serviced by city water and sewer currently. Staff finds
that the proposed development is currently adequately served by the essential public facilities
and services listed above.
F. That the proposed use will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for
public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the
community;
Because this is an infill site and because public facilities and services are provided to the site
and the surrounding vicinity currently, staff finds that the proposed use will not be detrimental to
the economic welfare of the community, nor will it create the need for any new facilities or
services to be paid for by the public.
G. That the proposed use will not involve activities or processes, materials, equipment, and
conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property, or general
welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors;
This development is estimated to generate 29 additional vehicle trips per day (18 existing) based
on the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual. The proposed residential
use is consistent with the existing residential use on the site. Staff does not anticipate that the
Exhibit "A" 13 of20
Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council
Hearing Date: March 18, 2004
Page 14
proposed use, will be detrimental to the general welfare of the community by means of
producing excessive traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors generated by the proposed
residential use.
H. That the proposed use will have vehicular approaches to the property which shall be so
designed as not to create an interference with traffic on surrounding public streets;
The applicant is proposing to construct a new 25-foot wide driveway off East 2~ Street, located
near the site's north property line. ACHD staff has reviewed and approved this one vehicular
approach to the site. Staff finds that the proposed use and associated approach will not create
significant interference with any traffic on the surrounding public streets.
I. That the proposed use will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic
or historic feature considered to be of major importance.
Staff is not aware of any natural, scenic or historic features in the general vicinity of this proj ect.
Staff finds that no site improvements associated with the conditional use application should
damage natural, scenic or historic features in the area.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS (CUPIPD)
A. Reduced Standards: The applicant has requested approval of a PD to allow reduced development
standards including, reduced building setbacks, lot sizes, driveway design, and frontage requirements.
Staff recommends approval of the requested modifications of standards because the proposed buildable
lots within the subdivision have access to the common parking/drive lot and the proposed lots can
accommodate the proposed building envelopes with a modification to the standard setbacks.
Setbacks/Separation: The applicant has requested that the required building separations for the multi-
family structures be reduced to: 3-foot front, 9-foot rear, and 6-foot side (not per story). Staff is
supportive of allowing the proposed multi-family building setbacks because the applicant has requested
this as part of the Planned Development and because this modification will allow for the higher densities
as envisioned with the Comprehensive Plan for this area, without sacrificing the integrity of the site.
Construction materials used on the structures with modified setbacks/separation should be approved by
City of Meridian Building Department and in accordance with the most recent Uniform Building Code.
See Site Specific Condition #2 below. The Commission and Council should also consider if the
requested modifications and staff recommendations are acceptable for the PD application,
Lot Size: Staffis supportive of the requested lot site deviations because all ofthe proposed buildable lots
can accommodate the proposed building envelopes with a modification to the standard setbacks, as
requested. See Site Specific Condition #3 below.
Frontage/Common Drive Aisle/Parking: City Code allows street frontage for three or four lots sharing a
common driveway to be reduced to 10 feet (each)(MCC 11-9-1). The applicant is not proposing any
frontage for Lots 2 and 3, Block 1, Essentially, the proposed common parking and drive aisle on Lot 1,
Exhibit "A" 14 of20
Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council
Hearing Date: March 18,2004
Page 15
Block 1, equate to a private road/service drive that all of the units/lots will share. As long as a cross-
access agreement is provided for all of the lots to use the proposed Lot 1, Block 1, staff believes that the
proposed common parking/drive lot meets the intent of the standard frontage requirement. Staff is
supportive of the requested lot frontage deviations because all of the proposed buildable lots within the
subdivision have access to the proposed common parking/drive lot. See Site Specific Condition #4
below.
Staff recommends that access to the development be provided from a 25-foot wide (minimum) drive
aisle off 2'12 Street, located near the north property line. Because the length of the drive aisle exceeds
ISO-feet, the drive aisle should be built to ACHD standards to facilitate access and to ensure that the
drive aisle can bear the weight of garbage trucks, fire trucks, and other emergency vehicles. See Site
Specific Condition #5 below.
The proposed common drive aisle lot (Lot I, Block I) is 25-feet wide and includes twenty-two, 90-
degree parking stalls, off the driveway. There are 25-feet from the back of the parking stalls to the
opposite side ofthe driveway. The design of the parking area meets City Code and staffis supportive of
the general design of the proposed parking areas, with two exceptions. The fifth parking stall from 2'12
Street is only 8-feet wide. Meridian City Code requires standard parking stalls to be 9-feet wide by 19-
feet long (MCC 11-13-4.F). Designated compact stalls may be constructed to a width of7 Yz feet-wide
(minimum) by 15-feet long (MCC 11-13-4.G). The east leg of the driveway is longer than ISO-feet and
requires a Fire Department approved turnaround. To remedy this, the applicant should rotate the three
eastern most parking stalls to face east, not south as proposed. This will make the driveway, east ofthe
proposed Fire Department turnaround/basketball court, less than ISO-feet. See Site Specific Conditions
#6 & #7 below.
B. Amenities: As part of the PD, the applicant is proposing to construct a basketball court and a barbeque
area. There is an existing sidewalk from the parking areas to the tri-plex entrance on Lot 4, Block 1. The
applicant is proposing to construct a 5-foot wide sidewalk in front of the new four-plex units on Lots 2
and 3, Block 1. Staff is supportive of the general design of the proposed amenities as they appear t~ be
appropriate to the size and uses ofthe proposed development. See Site Specific Condition #8 below. The
Commission and Council should review the proposed amenities and determine if they are "appropriate to
the size and uses of the proposed development" (MCC 12-6-2.e). The applicant should also be required
to construct sidewalk on 2'12 Street abutting the site (see ACHD staff report).
C. Miscellaneous: Below are some ordinance requirements that have not been addressed, or need to be
further clarified, by the applicant to ensure compliance with Meridian City Code.
Open Space: Meridian City Code 12-13 -16 requires all multi-family developments to provide common
open space that equals or exceeds ten percent of the gross land area. Common open space means land
exclusive of street rights-of-way and street buffers, except for right-of-way specifically dedicated for
landscaping within a subdivision. At a minimum, common open space lots shall include one deciduous
shade tree per 8,000 square feet and lawn, either seed or sod (MCC 12-13-16-5). In addition to the
common open space requirement, Meridian City Code 12-6-2.AA states that all residential planned

such area or areas for collection of trash or garbage as determined by the Administrator shall be
provided. The applicant is proposing to enclose the garbage enclosures within the existing and proposed

development standards.
Relief from the frontage, setback, driveway, and lot size standards were specifically
requested in the conditional use permit (CUP/PD) application. It is found that none of the
proposed lots meet the frontage, setback, or lot size standards of the R-15 zone. Staffis

and the proposed lots can accommodate the proposed building envelopes with a modification to
the standard setbacks.
Meridian City Code 12-13-16 requires all multi-family developments to provide common

complies with the Site Specific and General Conditions contained in the Staff Report.
15. It is found that the proposed apartment houses will be compatible with other uses in
the neighborhood and with the intended character of the general vicinity, which is essentially a mix
of residential and commercial uses.
16. It is not anticipated that the proposed use will have an adverse affect on other property
in the vicinity if designed, constructed, operated and maintained in accordance with the Site Specific
and General Conditions of approval.
17. The subject site has adequate access to Fairview Avenue and Main Street via local
streets in the area. The City of Meridian Fire and Police Departments currently monitor, service, and
protect the subject neighborhood. Sanitary Services Company currently provides refuse service to
the site and surrounding properties. The site is serviced by city water and sewer currently. It is
found that the proposed development is currently adequately served by the essential public facilities
and services listed in paragraph 12 hereinabove.
18. Because this is an infill site and because public facilities and services are provided to
the site and the surrounding vicinity currently, it is found that the proposed use will not be
detrimental to the economic welfare of the community, nor will it create the need for any new
facilities or services to be paid for by the public.
19. This development is estimated to generate 29 additional vehicle trips per day (18
existing) based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual. The
proposed residential use is consistent with the existing residential use on the site. It is not

proposed residential use.
20. The applicant is proposing to construct a new 25-foot wide driveway off East 2 11
Street, located near the site's north property line. ACHD staffhas reviewed and approved this one
vehicular approach to the site. It is found that the proposed use and associated approach will not
create significant interferences with any traffic on the surrounding public streets.

Re: Proposed Agenda Items for May 25, 2004 City Council Meeting
The Public Works Department respectfully requests the following item(s) be placed on the
May 25 City Council consent agenda:
Safety Consultinq and Advisory Services - First Link Safety Attached is a contract with First
Link Safety for $2,OOO/month for 6 months and renewable for an additional 6 months. First
Link will help implement our developing safety program. They will provide the necessary
training and documentation to get us up to current standards. In addition, they will help
investigate accidents, incidents, and close calls. With the size of our group, we can not justify
a full time Safety Director. This is a good alternative.
Recommended Council Action: The Public Works Department recommends
that City Council approve the $12,000 contract with First Link Safety for
Consulting Services and authorize the Mayor to sign it.

2.0 HEALTH AND SAFETY ORGANIZATION
2.1 Purpose and Background
This Department Health and Safety- (H&S) Program has been developed to
assist in the recognition of unsafe conditions, and the prevention of injuries
resulting from exposure to these conditions. The Department recognizes that
(A) this plan is constantly evolving, as new hazards are encountered and new
knowledge is gained, and (B) that a written, formalized safety program is only
effective if it is understood, accepted and implemented. While this section
describes the organizational framework of individuals that are tasked with
specific responsibilities, it is also understood that every Department
employee is also represented in this structure, and has the important task of
implementation.
2.2 CMH&SOrganizational Structure
This section depicts the Department Health and Safety Program's
organizational structure and describes the responsibilities and functions of
each component. The health and safety organizational structure is shown in
Figure 2-1. The Director of Safety has the ultimate responsibility of
developing and implementing this Health and Safety Program. Structurally,
the Safety Steering Committee will oversee the program's effectiveness, and
facilitate, stimulate, and maintain interest in Department health and safety
issues across the Water, Wastewater and Engineering Groups. The
Department Safety Committee will be the primary means of facilitating
communication and coordination between management and employees on
matters of health and safety. The Safety Committee also serves as an open
forum for discussing changes in rules and regulations. programs, and
potential new hazards.
The key person in this structure is the Director of Safety, who, with support
from the Safety Steering Committee, is responsible for the overall direction
and management of the Program. The Director of Safety reports to the
Public Works Director, who reports to the City of Meridian Mayor. In order to
implement this program at the Group level, each Group (Water. Wastewater
and Engineering) has an individual selVing as a Safety Representative (SR)
on the Department Safety Committee. Each SR is responsible for
coordinating health and safety issues for their respective Group, On issues
relating to safety. they report to and receive guidance from the Director of
Safety. At the Group level, the SR consults with, and provides health and
safety guidance to, each Group Superintendent/Manager and employees.

4.0 EMPLOYEE TRAINING
4.1 General Information
The Department recognizes that information and training are two key
elements in avoiding occupational injuries. In order to. avoid injury,
employees must recognize potential hazards, and then know how to control
or avoid the hazard. Thus, to safely complete their required tasks,
Department employees must be properly trained to conduct their
assignments in a safe, efficient manner.
Department safety training programs are designed to inform personnel of:
(1) potential hazards which may be encountered, (2) the appropriate actions
to implement to protect themselves against these hazards, and (3)
CMH&SOSHl\. regulatory requirements. The training content and format will
va!)', according to the evolution of the program, but there will always be a
bias towards hands-on, live instructor presentations (when possible). While
initial and periodic refresher training will be provided in accordance with
CMH&SOS!-!.^, health and safety regulations, additional supplemental training
will- be provided if it will assist employees in avoiding injury.
4.2 Training Requirements
The Department has identified various safety training topics applicable to
some, or nearly all, Department activities. These training topics have been
classified as either mandatory (all employees are required to receive) or task-
specific (exposure to particular hazards require specific training), based on
assumed activities. Task-specific training will be in-depth by design, and
provide the knowledge necessa!)' to recoQnize and control associated
hazards. This training is required for employees whose job duties require that
they are present and exposed and cannot avoid the related activity/condition.
SRs, in coordination with their superintendent/manager, will decide which
employees shall receive task-specific training, based on their knowledge of
the employee's assignments.
Training should be provided as soon as the need is identified and scheduling
permits. The SR shall work with their Superintendent/Manager to identify and
accomplish the required training; the Director of Safety is responsible for
assisting the SRs in completing all training needs. Training topics and the
required minimum training, by position, are presented in Table 4-1.

HEALTH AND SAFETY PROGRAM .1 Page 13 of 181
4.3 Delivery of Training
Department employees conduct a multitude of tasks, often requiring that
employees receive highly specialized training to safely complete the tasks.
While most Department tasks are repeated on a frequent basis, some
infrequent tasks where an employee may conduct a specific task (e.g.,
confined space entry, aeration basin diffuser cleaning, etc.), and then go long
periods without repeating the task, requires that competent trainers be
permanently available on short notice for refresher training.
The Director of Safety, coordinating with the SRs, is responsible for
overseeing the development of the in-house training resources, managing the
training schedule, and maintaining a fist of current trainers. If specialized
knowledge is needed, where in-house capabilities are inadequate, then
outside vendors will be utilized. In general, the Director of Safety or an
outside vendor will provide training with the assistance of the SRs.
4.4 Documentation
All health and safety training must ~e documented. There are a variety of
methods to document that an employee attended, participated in and
successfully completed training. The most common way is to prepare a
written Training Documentation form (see Template included as Attachment
4-1 to this Section). This form should contain a written synopsis of the
training content, length of time, identification of the trainer, location of the
training, and the names of the attendees. This should be routed through the
attendees at the start of training, and all attendees should sign, in ink. It is
recommended that the attendee also include their employee identification
number, in case the signature is illegible. Based on Attachment 4-1, each
trainer will develop his or her own training documentation forms for the
specific topic presented. Some CMH&SOSH/\ m:1:1d3tod training requires
that training be "certified" (e.g., PPE, Hazardous Waste Operations).
Trainers will be cognizant of these requirements and document such training
appropriately.
Since task-specific training prepares employees to identify and control safety
hazards, additional documentation is required. This documentation should
either be in the form of a hands-on exercise and/or written test to document
that the employee has retained sufficient knowledge to safely complete the
required task. These tests must be retained indefinitely.
Originals of all training documentation shall be forwarded to the respective
SRs for retention. A copy of the record will be forwarded to the Director of
Safety .

5.0 ACCIDENT NOTIFICATION. & INVESTIGATION
This Section presents the procedures that Department employees should
follow if involved in an accident.
5.1 Definitions
Accident - An accident is a situation that results in physical injury (no matter how
slight). Accidents can be divided into two broad categories: minor or serious.
Minor accident - An accident that does not result in the injured employee
having to remain overnight in a medical setting, receive extended medical
treatment or require the injured employee to be absent from work other
than the date of injury. Examples might include sprains. strains. bruises,
moderate abrasions/simple lacerations. etc.
Serious Accident - An accident that reauires the iniured emplovee to
receive any of the following: (a) medical care beyond first aid (would
include stitches. broken bones, etc.). (b) remain overnight in a medical
facility, or (c) miss work on any day following the date of injury.
Incident - A situation that does not result in physical injury. As used here,
includes situations that could result in minor (e.g., abrasion, sprain, etc.) injury.
Near-Miss Incident - Any incident where no iniury occurred, but where the
potential for significant injury (e.g., fractures, loss of consciousness, crushing,
amputation, death) existed. Examples might include being struck by moving
equipment/vehicles, electrical shock, falls, trench cave-ins, etc.
Catastrophe - An OSHA term meaning the occurrence of either of the following:
A. The death of one or more employees, or
B. The hospitalization for treatment of three (3) or more employees.

obtain medical assistance. If the victim is a Department employee, following the
release of the victim to the medical authorities, the Department employee(s)
knowledgeable about the accident (this may be the injured employee, if able to
do so) must notify the proper Department Superintendent. The Superintendent

HEALTH AND SAFETY PROGRAM
Page 16 of 181
When any Department employee is injured, the following rules will apply:
1. The knowledgeable employee (hereafter called the "reporting employee")
should immediately notify his/her Superintendent/Manager (who will notify
the SR), and verbally relay all pertinent and known facts surrounding the
accident. Do not discuss the incident with any outside employees or
employer. If the Superintendent/Manager is not available, the reporting
employee should contact his/her SR directly (who will notify the
Superintendent/Manager).
2. The reporting employee shall complete an Accident/Incident Report and
submit it to the SR, who will forward the original to the Director of Safety,
and keep a copy for reference until an initialed report is returned from the
Director of Safety. At that time, the SR should place a copy in the Group
file. The next notification step depends on the severity of the accident.
2a. If the accident is "minor". no further notifications are necessary. The SR
should discuss the causes, results and preventative measures with the
Superintendent/Manager, and present at the next Department Safety
Committee meeting.
2b. If the accident is "serious". then the SR or Superintendent/Manager will
verballv notify the Director of Safety. The SR shall perform an accident
investigation (see Section 5.3). The SR should discuss the causes,
results and suggested preventative measures with the
Superintendent/Manager, and present at the next Department Safety
Committee meeting.
2c. If the event is a "catastrophe", per the above definition, then the
Superintendent/Manger will notify the Public Works Director and Director
of Safety as soon as feasible, following the accident. The Director of
Safety, with the assistance of the SR, will conduct an accident
investigation as soon as practical. The Director of Safety should discuss
the causes, results and suggested preventative measures with the
Superintendent/Manager, and present at the next Department Safety
Committee meeting.
5.3 Investigation Procedures
All serious accidents and near-miss incidents involving Department personnel
will be investigated by the appropriate SR. The investigation should be initiated
immediately following the occurrence, and completed within 3 to 5 days. Any
related reports from external sources (police, insurance carriers, laboratories)
should be attached, or forwarded to the Investigation Report recipients as they
become available. Should a "catastrophe" occur, the Director of Safety shall
perform the investigation.

HEALTH AND SAFETY PROGRAM I Page 17 of 181
NOTE: As used in the following discussion on accident investigation procedures,
the term "accident" is meant to include Serious Accidents.' and Near-Miss
Incidents, as defined above.
An SR should complete an Accident Report. (See. example following this
Section). The purpose of this investigation is not to assign blame or find
personal fault, but to reconstruct those direct and contributory factors that
created the conditions, which allowed the accident/near-miss incident to
occur. In this way. the Department can identify the various factors, and by
eliminating one or more of the contributing factors. can eliminate the situation
that generated the incident/accident.
An accident investigation is a method by which the underlying root causes of the
accident/incident are discovered. Most accidents result from a complex set of
factors, which interact to create the environment that results in the accident If
one or more of these causative factors can be altered or eliminated, then the
accident would not occur. The goal of any fonnal accident investigation is,
therefore, to identify the set of causative factors. for the prevention of future
reoccurrence.
In performing the accident investigation, the SR should attempt to:
. Reconstruct the conditions which led to the accident/incident (collect
the facts)
. Describe and document (include sketch, photos, videotape, diagrams,
etc.) how the accident/incident occurred
. List witnesses and conect written statements when possible
. Identify and discuss the causative factors
. Identify management or programmatic deficiencies
. Offer opinion as to the best method of preventing the reoccurrence of
the accident/incident
The SR shall submit the original Accident Report to the Director of Safety7 and
give a copy presenting investigative conclusions to the Superintendent/Manager
for review. Following review, the Director of Safety will contact the injured
employee for additional information if necessary, write his findings, and
redistribute to the SR, affected employee(s) and others as necessary. If
corrective actions are recommended, the SR will present these at the
Department Safety Committee meeting, and initiate implementation.

Re: New Development Agreement with Lamont Kouba and Robnett Construction
RE(;EIVE

City Of Meridian
City Clerk Office
Memo
As some of the City Council members may recall, in 2002 the City approved a CUP for Bobby's
Transmission on the 2.3 acre parcel south of Ultra Touch Carwash on E. Fairview Avenue. The
parcel is owned by Mr. Lamont Kouba. Due, at least in part, to a City-imposed condition that
eleven (11) parking spaces be provided on the parcel to accommodate off-street parking required
for Ultra Touch and the failure to enter into a Development Agreement (DA), the Bobby's
Transmission CUP project never materialized. However, the requirement for a DA to be entered
into remains in effect before any future development can occur on that parcel.
It now appears that Robnett Construction, Inc. has worked out a compromise with Ultra Touch on
the 11 parking spaces and they have a pending Preliminary Plat application before the P&Z
Commission which reflects this compromise. They are also preparing a cross-access/cross-parking
easement. Since they are entitled to a one time building permit on the parcel, they also have a
Certificate of Zoning Compliance application in our office for a new building (which would be
constructed before the new plat is recorded). However, they are being held up on the CZC
because of the pending DA issue.
Attached is a draft DA that Robnett Construction submitted to the City, with suggested staff
modifIcations. I would like to briefly discuss this DA at the May 25th Pre-City Council Meeting and
have it placed on the June 15t Regular Consent Agenda for adoption, if the City Council agrees.
Since the original DA was never executed and this is not an amendment, I'm requesting it be
processed as though it were an original DA (e.g. without a Miscellaneous application). Robnett
Construction would like to proceed with their first buildIng moving and this DA is the only hold-up
for their CZC.
I will be available for questions at the May 25th meeting.
