Bird: Mr. Nary do you want to introduce the lVTV?
Nary: Thank you Mr. President, members of the Council. This item on your
agenda, Mayor De Weerd and myself had met with the folks with Treasure Valley
Television about a month ago to discuss a proposal that they have put together
on some possibilities that they think would be very valuable to the city and there
are some costs to them. Some of them are related to the franchise agreement
that we have with Cable One. But, we asked them to come tonight to do the full
presentation for you. With that, I will let them take it from there.
Chris: The full presentation starts with about a five-minute video if you will
indulge -

Bird: Would you mind introducing yourself, ma'am?
Chris: I am Teri Chris. I am Station Manager of Public Access Television,
Channel 11 in Boise, This is Gail Dyer; she is the Executive Director of our
board. We put together a small presentation. We are carried on Cable One,
Channel ii, so if you are not a cable subscriber you don't receive this
programming, but we are carried through 65,000 homes through the Treasure
Valley.
(Presentation displayed).
Chris: Well, that's a little bit - some of a sampling of our public access station
and as you probably heard the City Council in Boise is a little overwhelmed at the
response that they have gotten from coming on air. This is something we would
like to bring to the City of Meridian too. There is a lot of reasons to bring your
City Council meeting to air besides a vanity or something, but it does interest
people. You will be -I know the City here and anyone who is on Public Access,
first of all they are a little bit shocked at the number of people that watch it and
second of all City Council is really shocked how many people stay and listen to
what is going on because - you know, the City Council meetings, I think the last
one was a really hot contested meeting that went until 1: 15 in the morning and
you would not believe the calls we had for copies of that tape because there
were so many people that were down there from the City of Boise having
testimony and they wanted to either see their dad on tape or hear what their
testimony was and see how it turned out. There is a lot of interest in the City
Council meeting and r know there is in Meridian, too. But, not everybody gets up
and drives down for the meeting, sometimes they just want to sit at home and
tune on to 11 and see what is going on. So, what I put in front of you was a little
proposal of what we put together when we met with your Mayor and Bob was
that what we are looking to start at if this is something that you are interested in -
a basic proposal is we are looking to take about three percent of the franchise
fee, which is about $5,000 and what this would enable us to do is to just bring
one camera down here to start the City Council meeting. This is how we started
Boise's meeting, just with a single camera shoot. It would capture the whole
meetings and then we would have to replay, air that on Thursdays. Your
meetings are Tuesday nights, it would take a day to turn it over and we would re-
air that on Thursday nights at 7:00 and we provide you with a VHS copy of the
tape so that you would have it. It's pretty basic. It's pretty simple and for $5,000
we could cover the equipment and the person to come down here and do it. We
could start that as early as January, but what we foresee for the City of Meridian
as well as other cities in the Treasure Valley is that the cities start using our
station in the way that public access should be used; and that is to use us in a
wider variety for other community events you have going on. To do this we are
looking at a $65,000 start up fee for the next fiscal year. This is a start up fee
that comes out of Cable One. It has to be negotiated by the city and for the City
of Boise they negotiated $250,000 start up. This is, however, high it's always
Meridian City Pre~CouncilMeeting
November 9, 2004
. Page 3 of 21
negotiation wherever you start. The Cable will bid you down. This will start your
City Council, your public access and basically what it will purchase is a remote
van to come out here on Tuesday nights and shoot your City Council meeting.
This would be a two-camera switch shoot. It would take you away from the one
camera panning back and forth. It would be a switch shoot. It would be
professionally done every Tuesday nights and the van also could be used to
shoot other events throughout the city. Boise decided to take about $55,000 and
put remote cameras into their City Council, which mayor may not be something
that you wanted to do. The one thing this City Council has to do is negotiate fiber
optics to the City Hall and the Mayor was saying that this is a hall that might be
moving in the near future and that you are outgrowing your facility and want to
move it. So, I don't consider at this point negotiating the fiber optics to this point
- to this building right here would be feasible for you. You should wait to
wherever you are going to move it to and have it moved - it can be expensive.
That is something the city has to negotiate with Cable too. This would allow us to
hook up to the fiber optics with the van and go live with your City Council
meeting. We would need the $65,000 for the van. You would have to negotiate
a franchise fee - the fiber optics - negotiate 10 percent of your franchise fee,
which would be the $65,000 and you would have to bring the fiber optics in
here-what else? Right now the current cable subscribers pay a dime per
subscriber. I don't know if they do that in the City of Meridian, but in Boise,
everyone who subscribes to cable pays a dime. This is a fee that we are trying
to bring up to 30 cents and it was a fee that we would want the City of Meridian
as. This covers our capital cost. It would come to $21,000 for the first year. This
would up the van from the City Council shoot to your high school football shoots.
High school football takes a lot more camera equipment, a lot more cable and a
lot more equipment to a nice job with that and that we would need that $21,000
to bring that van up to football shoots, but then we would like to take a football of
the week, brought to you by the City of Meridian and TVTV and broadcast that on
Channel 11. We have done that with the Boise School District. They paid us last
year to do it, we'd like to do it for the City of Meridian, but we would like the cost
to be covered by the City of Meridian and we had a wonderful response from the
parents of the high school kids. They wanted dubs of the tape. They had
wonderful stories. One woman wanted a dub of the tape and I didn't have it done
it time and she broke into tears about it, which I thought was odd and
overwhelming and she said, you don't understand my ex-husband is in Coeur
d'Alene and he is dying of cancer and without that tape he doesn't see his son
play football. I was overwhelmed. I didn't know, but it does touch the public and
if we are out there shooting the football games, if we are shooting city events the
people in Meridian see where their money is going and I think that it's
appreciated when they see that this football game or this city advantage was
brought to them by the City of Meridian and the schools don't have to pay for it
out of their own very limited budget. So, we have the 30 cents that would be an
ongoing fee, 30 cents of subscriber and that would be $21,000 a year coming to
the station to cover capital, upkeep on the van and upkeep of the facility itself.
Our facility is located on 6225 W. Overland. It's a communion media center and
(
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
November 9, 2004

even now anyone from Meridian can come down there and for $40 a year they
can get a half an hour airtime and make their own television. We have a full-
fledged studio, three editing bays and field cameras that we train people to use
and the people of Meridian can go out and use this facility. Obviously this facility
is not (inaudible) sustaining at $40 a year. It's the view of the board and the
people that run this station that public access has to be cheap to the people at all
times. They have to have access to the airwaves or for us there is no
democracy, but it's not public access if we charge what it would cost. So, we
need the cities in the Treasure Valley to help support this like they would support
a library, so the people here in Meridian can come out there and use that. What
else we are going to ask from the City of Meridian is 10 percent ongoing of your
franchise fee, This is operating expense for us. It comes to $15,000 and this
would hire an employee part time for us to one come out and shoot the football
games, come out and do the City Council games and also help us out at the
facility. So, that is our general proposal for this right now. But, are there any
questions I could answer?
Bird: Council any questions?
Rountree: Mr. President.
Bird: Mr. Rountree,
Rountree: You indicated there are currently 65,000 cable subscribers-
Chris: That's throughout the Treasure Valley.
Rountree: How many in Meridian, do you know?
Chris: I think it's 7,000 - a little over 7,000 is what Meridian has through Cable
One.
Rountree: Thank you.
Bird: Any other questions? If not, I have got a question for her. You say football
games - are you involved with the Channel 17 that does already telecast our
football games and stuff like that?
Chris: That's Cable One this year. They bid that out to the school. It's the
school district of Boise that's paying for that this year. I am not sure what their
deal is. They negotiated with Cable One for that. I am not sure if it will happen
again if Cable One can't turn it into a profit. They might do it, just as outreach,
but if it doesn't - if it's not a profitable venture for them I am not sure that they will
do it again, but we did it the year before for the Boise School District. They did it
this year.
Meridian City Pre~Council Meeting

Bird: Thank you.
Donnell: Mr. President.
Bird: Ms. Donnell.
Donnell: A couple of questions. First of all this is start up fees that you talked
about, but there is ongoing expense and that will be ongoing expense to the city.
Chris: The ongoing expense to the city would be ten percent of the franchise fee.
Donnell: So, when that grows that also grows?
Chris: Yes.
Donnell: I also noticed in a letter that you have sent previously that there
wouldn't be a need to determine where the - and I don't know much about fiber
optics, but the city hall would have to be wired. Is that what you were talking
about -?
Chris: To go live. You have to have the fiber optic wiring. The City of Boise it
was fairly close to them and they brought it into their city hall and there is two
reasons for you to - first you have to find out the closest fiber optic is and second
I know you are thinking about moving and that would be too expensive if you are
going to move it. It's also something you could plan on if you are building a new
city hall, you could plan on adding the - bringing the fiber optics in as part of the
expense and maybe at that time adding your own remote system in and it ran
about $55,000 for Boise and that included the fiber optic. But, I did talk to Linda
Roach who is Executive Director at Cable One in Boise and she said it all
depends on how far away it is and what the cost would be for the City of
Meridian.
Donnell: Mr. President, follow up?
Bird: Ms. Donnell.
Donnell: Am I to understand this right. You are not a part of Cable One? You
are separate from Cable One?
Chris: Yeah, we are non~profit television station; we are ran by a board of about
11 people right now and we have actually only one full time employee and two
part times and volunteers that keep the station running.
Donnell: And so your non-profit status is that - that allows you to write for
grants?
( (
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
November 9, 2004
Page 6 of 21
Chris: We do write for grants. We haven't had a lot of successful grant writing.
We have had a few successes and we hope to find more equipment grants, but
there are a lot of good causes out there besides freedom of speech and so we
are up against those same type grant writings.
Donnell: So, did you say there were 11 staff members?
Chris: No, there is only one full time and two part times. Equivalent of two staff
members at the station right now. We come on air at 5:00 every night. We run
our first straight programming through till eleven. Then we bring in - we have a
city bulletin board we run where we have community events, things like that. We
bring in satellite programming the arch channels things like that through the night
and it's seven the next morning we rerun everything that ran the night before so
everything gets aired twice.
Donnell: Another question Mr. President.
Bird: Go ahead Ms. Donnell.
Donnell: By the time I say that, I almost forget what my question is. I am so
used to just blurting it out. Have you done any kind of survey to find out actually
what your viewer-ship is or whatever that word is?
Chris: Well, we are trying to work something out with Cable One right now to
mail out our survey in their envelopes, which they are willing to do if we get - to
pay for one, we just don't have that kind of income. Most stations do surveys to
sell commercials, which we do not do. We are nonprofit, noncommercial; no one
can sell anything on the station. But, it would be nice to have numbers and if we
can find a nice inexpensive way to do that, definitely we are trying to that and we
are trying to work out something this fall with Cable One, so they will mail them
and people mail back to us.
Nary: Mr. President.
Bird: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Just to give the Council, Mayor a little more information. I did talk to the
Finance Department about what the franchise fees that we currently collect have
been on the Cable One contract and last year it was approximately $81,000. So,
just so you know what that number was and to at least echo some of the
comments that were on the screen, I know in Boise they have had a significant
number of folks respond that they have watched this program and do try to keep
up. Now of course part of that is because it's live, I mean that certainly helps
that, but I would concur with what was said in that that there was quite a bit of
viewer-ship that they do have from Cable.
Meridian City Pre-Council. Meeting
November 9, 2004
Page 7 of 21
Chris: I will agree, the City of Boise was I would say a tad reluctant. They didn't
want to be on television. What if they said something inappropriate, but it was a
producer at our station, just an independent Boise resident who wanted to go
down and shoot the City Council meeting and he started doing it and thaf1s totally
his right and privilege and then he would use his airtime to air it and the city
started getting such a huge response at that point they agreed to spend $55,000
to put in camera equipment to get a little nicer look on their shoots because just
one camera aired two days later, every Thursday night, they just started getting
major response that they thought it was worth paying for. So, I know they
couldn't be more pleased and neither could we. It's part of our mission statement
- we are public access right now, but really we want to be PEG, which is public,
educational and government. One of the things we want the City of Meridian to
do is ask cable for a second channel for us to operate and that would also
separate our government shows from our public shows as you can guess our
public shows are just anyone who comes off in training, it can be anything they
have to say so long as they are not breaking the law that they say, but there are
also sometimes lower quality productions, things like this and the government, I
know, would just be a huge help for the government to - even though we would
be from the same station, have a separate channel for them. It separates them
from the public and gives them a little more leeway so they are not tied into
everybody's public opinion. So, that is one of the things we are extremely and in
the end we want three channels. One for public, one for education and one for
government. That is our dream for the Treasure Valley and we want to service
the City of Meridian, Caldwell, Nampa and we want to be the Treasure Valley's
station and use to our fullest potential. At this point we are only three years old
and I don't think people have even come close to tapping the potential of the
station. It all takes money, but it can definitely be used a lot better than it is now.
Wardle: Mr. President.
Bird: Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: If an option to go live were in place, how would you decide which of the
City Council meetings were to be live?
Chris: Well, first of all we loved to have a second channel and then we wouldn't
have to, but eventually it's going to have to be first come, first served. But, that's
what we hope to, you know, not have to say that just yet and we would love to do
three channels, three live. Is it the whole Treasure Valley that does Tuesday
night? Am I close in assuming that the City Council meetings are Tuesdays?
De Weerd: Mondays and Tuesdays.
Chris: Okay, well that might help us with some right there and spread that out a
little bit more.
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
November 9. 2004
Page 8 of 21
Bird: Any other questions? Madame Mayor?
De Weerd: No, Mr. President. I guess we have heard on what they would like
from us, but I would like you to expend a little bit more on your vision on the
education component and how you see that best utilized, in particular, if you go
valley wide.
Chris: If we go valley wide, I know that a lot of public access stations have a lot
more educational program and they bring in satellites and this way a school or a
teacher could program through a satellite through us, a specific program that she
wants her kids to see in class. She can call us. We can rearrange it, set it up
and then Tuesday at 10:00 this program is going to air in her classroom, she just
has to turn to Channel 11 and she can view it. Things like this and the footballs
games, things like this to reach out through the community with educational
sports, kids programming, this is what the education view I see is the schools
viewing this a lot better. I would love to have the morning menus on there, the
kids' - this is what's going in our school. I would love to see a little 15, 20-minute
show from each school. They have these little radio - most of them are closed
circuit with little cameras and they already do a little T.V, show at most high
schools, this is what's grnng on, this is our bulletin board, this is what's on lunch.
I would love to take that to air too.
De Weerd: Follow up, Mr. President.
Bird: Go ahead, Mayor.
De Weerd: You had also mentioned training that you could do cross training.
Chris: This would be a great governmental use. I was thinking that I know a city
down in Santa Rosa and there Fire Department uses their public access and a
group of men came down and tried to use the equipment, which may sound over
their head, but it's not. They loved it. They all trained to run the equipment and
camera and like a couple times a month they'll come into their station, they will
do a training live and all the other stations just have to tune into that channel and
watch the training. This was a huge expense saver for the Fire Department
because usually they have to go around from station to station and repeat the
training for every man at every station. This way they only did one training,
everyone watched on television, the training was done and she just thought it
was a great way use of our public access channel. So, that was another one.
Bird: Any more Mayor? Council what is your pleasure? I think we need to think
on this and do some checking myself before I am ready to even think about it real
serious. How about the rest of you?
Rountree: I'd be there.
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting

Bird: Well, thank you very much for coming. We will get back to you.
Chris: Thank you. Maybe we could bring a camera down a couple times and
shoot it and you could see how much feedback you get.
Item 4.
Discussion of North Meridian Area Plan:
Canning: I have forgotten to do one thing, sorry. I have a slide coming up that
has some of these talking points, but I will go ahead and start. We did meet with
ACHD staff regarding the open end condition in the North Meridian area stating
that if such time as there was a condition put on the North Meridian area plan
that those developments that were in that area would comply with that. There
has been discussion, as you know back and forth as to what that may mean. At
the last joint meeting you had with ACHD staff started to come up with a couple
ideas of what maybe we could do regarding intersections and right of way
(inaudible) and working within the capital improvement projects, so we did get
together with ACHD staff and what we decided was kind of two things. One
would be that the capital improvement plan will begin updating at about one year
and that isn't a one-year process, so it's a three-year cycle. We have kind of
been in a dead year for the last year and then they will start up again and have
one in a couple of years. But, in that capital improvement plan, we should get
better demographics, reflecting what's going on in the Meridian area, particularly
the north Meridian area. That's been a lot of the issue is that COMPASS
projections just miss the mark on what was going to happen in that north
Meridian area. Then once we get the better demographics that means they can
funnel more funding to that area. One of the things that is going to be different in
this new capital improvement plan is that they will put in intersections, not just
roadways, but actually the intersection analysis and by improving the
intersections, they are not going to - it's going to put off the need for the
additional lanes on the roadways, so there is going to be two things. There is
intersection analysis as well as roadway analysis. That should enable a lot more
projects in kind of a better ranking of those projects based on need because they
are separated rather than being put together. So, that should be another way
that we could get to some of these intersection improvements that are needed in
our North Meridian area, Then regarding right of way, by putting the
intersections in as a separate item, if they get those intersection improvements
done it pushes off the, as I said before, pushes off the need for additional lanes,
which means less right of way, which means they are requiring less right of way
over time, so it does seem to be kind of a win, win doing it that way. Also, we
talked about putting sidewalks in easements, not in the right of way. As you
know, we require for the residential subdivisions on the arterials, we do require a
detached sidewalk and sometimes it meanders in and out of the right of way; a
lot of times it's not in the right of way at all. What ACHD would like to do is just
require those to be an easements, since we do have the large landscape buffers
and that also minimizes some of the need - the money they have to spend to
acquire right of way and as a side line to that, it's not directly related, but we have
i
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
November 9, 2004
Page 10 of 21
also discussed as part of the code revisions that right now that five feet of
pathway you have - it doesn't count in your landscape buffer, so like if your
landscape buffer, your street buffer is 25 feet, right now it means that really you
have to do 25 feet plus the 5 foot for the sidewalk, so it's 30 feet from the edge of
right of way to the fence line, basically, One of the things that we did talk about
was for that any street buffer that was larger than 10 feet we kind of waived that
requirement that that be an additional five feet. So, that's kind of a win, win also.
ACHD isn't having to expend as much money, we get our detached sidewalks,
the developers are giving up less land. They get to call it theirs instead of right of
ways, so that was another win, win. The last one that may need a little further
refinement as time goes on, but we did ask that during the development review
process if ACHD could give us a little better ideas of how those intersections
relate just to the improvements that we are asking for in the City of Meridian.
Right now they have got a list of 100 intersections throughout the county that
they look at and those are all ranked. So, the Meridian ones might be 7,49, 56,
99 you know there is a long list for the county as a whole and we said well what if
you were able to tell us okay of all the Meridian intersections that we know you
are interested in, this pops up as number two. This is an important one for the
City of Meridian, now it might be 49 on their list, but at least going into the
Council hearing, you all will know that this is an important intersection for you and
that may influence what you want to do during a request for annexation during a
development agreement. Maybe there are things we can negotiate as far as
those intersections improvements. If you all know how that intersection relates to
the ones that we are looking at for the City of Meridian as a whole. Then they
would also give you an idea of whether that intersection warrants signalization.
So, there are many of them on our list that don't meet the warrants for a signal
and so they would give us that information as well during the development review
process. This would require some cumulative analysis on their parts, so I think
that that's the part that maybe we need to work on refining, but they seemed
willing to start looking at that and address those issues. So, that's what staff has
come up with. I can answer questions and also Gary Inselman from ACHD and
he can fill in any blanks I may have left or answer any additional questions.
Bird: Thanks Anna. Any questions for Anna or Gary?
De Weerd: Mr. President.
Bird: Madame Mayor.
De Weerd: I guess my concern continues to be in the timeframe and we are
talking two years. There is a lot of building permits. I went to an economic
forecast this morning and all the activities going on in North Meridian area and
could be built out in two years. We will still need intersection improvements. I
don't know. I guess I'd almost like to see us go to the developers. I know ACHD
has their hands tied with how they have to plan with their capital improvement
and their 20-year work plan. But, how we can find maybe out of the box
(
Meridian City Pre~Council Meeting
November 9, 2004
Page 11 of21
solutions with the development community to get those intersection
improvements more timely than they are even listed on rank and file order in the
list. You know, 49 on a rural intersection that's been slammed with 200 new
homes, just doesn't give it a whole lot of priority and a long list of it. Then in this
North Meridian area was supposed to be more specific in looking at the area and
not as it fits in the county. but as it fits in that area.
Canning: Madame Mayor, President Bird and that's what the last item was trying
to get at. We recognized that the City of Meridian has a lot more flexibility than
ACHD does. I mean, ACHD really - the only way that they can work is through
the capital improvement plan. That was the hope on the development review
stuff is that would be immediate. That would be information that they could start
giving right away, not right of way. That would be our opportunity to say okay we
know this is an issue; here is the problem, when those developers come that
want to do projects that are going to use those intersections then we have that
tool to negotiate something to work out of the box to use that or leverage that
however we might. Not to say we couldn't do other things.
De Weerd: So, how would that work with our open condition?
Canning: Madame Mayor as far as I - to my knowledge that open condition
there is nothing we can do with it.
De Weerd: Well then let's get it off of there.
Canning: Okay.
Bird: Council any other questions?
Rountree: Well, I would just reflect the same concerns, Mr. President, that the
Mayor did in terms of times.
De Weerd: Mr. President.
Bird: Madame Mayor.
De Weerd: I guess just one last thing I would ask that our attorney look at it and
see if there is anything we can do. When we went into those conditions, it was
with the anticipation that something would happen with at least the intersection
improvements. I think that was the expectation that we even communicated out
to the development community and before we just totally delete this - because I
mean if there is nothing we can do with it we need to get it out of there. But, I
would like a black and white answer on this. Can we do something? Because
that was certainly the intention during - when we placed those findings on there
that we would have something in form of how we can get a better flow of traffic in
that area of town that I would just like to make sure that legally before we delete
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
November 9, 2004

this condition that there's no hope to put something in there. Maybe ifs even
talking to the original developers who were working with us to find out the
direction they are coming from too.
Bird: I agree with you Madame Mayor. I am sure the attorney can do that. I
thought that's what we had the North Meridian Plan for and the developers did
buy in with it and I thought so did ACHOr but evidently we get different views
from every different person. We have got to be consistent. I feel that if we are
not consistent we are in trouble and I think we are in trouble. Because I am like
you and Charlie I think it's going to develop and pass us by. Any other questions
or statements, Council? Thanks Anna, very much.
Canning: Can I add one statement to the last discussion?
Bird: Yes, go ahead.
Canning: If - and I have to admit that most of the advice regarding the open end
condition has come from ACHD, since they are the road people, so if the city
attorney has some ideas, it's not that planning staff is trying to dodge work, I just
am not aware of anything that could be dona.
Bird: Thank you, Anna. We are not in anyway implying that.
Item 5.
Discussion of Storm Water Drainage Ponds:
Canning: At the same meeting we also had a good discussion on storm water
drainage, although I think there is some issues that we need guidance from the
City Council on as well as we probably need to have it discussed during a joint
meeting, but I am going to throw these up here for your consideration at this time.
There were two things that we need. One would be kind of an understanding of
what we are getting as far as what kind of landscape plan and then tied to that
would be the maintenance. So, the first thing is that we need to know what we
are approving and then we~d go ahead and maintain it. What we have been - we
being planning staff have been advocating storm water drainages and that they
do comply with the street buffer requirements, meaning that they provide the full
width of the street buffer in the area, the one tree per 35 feet and then some sort
of low maintenance ground cover. Now it doesn~t have to be a sod, it could be a
fescue or it could be shrubs, but some sort of ground cover that would eventually
be easy for the Parks Department to maintain as - 1~11 get to that in a little bit.
Then internally, some sort of vegetation. ACHD is by and large been proposing
dry land grasses, which most of the year they look like weeds, but it would be low
maintenance. It is vegetation that is holding that dirt in place. Then the one tree
per 8,000 square feet, which is our standard landscaping requirements for
subdivision open space or residential open space. Then to adhere to the other
storm water drainage (inaudible) standards, which are the slopes primarily, the
use of rocks, things like that. Now, if they were to meet those standards, staff
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
November 9, 2004
Page 13 of21
feels that you wouldn't need to do a land use buffer around them. But, if they are
not meeting those standards and they are more of a constructed facility whether
it's a lot of concrete and if it looks like an industrial facility then we probably need
to have some sort of land use buffer, which would be more like the street buffer
requirements where we have got some screening and things like that. So, that's
the planning staffs suggestion is to what these plans should look like, that's what
we have been advocating. The one that is going in on Locust Grove and Franklin
would meet these standards. The one that went in on Overland and Meridian is
not meeting these standards, so there is the kind of the difference in what they
look like and actually Steve Siddoway met with ACHD earlier today to talk about
the one on Meridian and Overland and you will probably be hearing about that I
think. I don't think ACHD left very happy, but that's staffs ideas on those and
this has been talked about. I think this is probably the first time it's been written
down for ACHD to see and then regarding the maintenance, if we agreed to the
plan, the Parks Director has said he would be happy to send someone out there
to maintain and all he asks is that City Council remember that during budget time
and that's the discussions we have had now, so it's just to date that would be it.
It does represent the more of these that we take on for maintenance; it does
represent an obligation by the city or by the Parks Department on behalf of the
city to maintain these. I think ACHD indicated that they don't anticipate a lot of I
think it was just one more regional facility such as the one that is going in at
Locust Grove and Franklin. The smaller ones would probably be just within the
subdivisions and maintained by those homeowners.
Bird: Council any questions for Anna?
Rountree: Mr. President I have a couple.
Bird: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: Just to get a sense of fairness here. When the City of Meridian
develops a parcel, say one of our Parks doing up paying impact fee?
Canning: You mean to ACHD?
Rountree: Yes.
Canning: The Parks Director is indicating that we do.
Rountree: That confirms what I thought. I know of only one entity in the State of
Idaho that is exempt with complying with zoning and/or ordinances of local entity
and it's not ACHD, so I guess if they are developing these facilities in the City of
Meridian, they are not exempt from our landscape requirements, nor am I of the
opinion they are exempt from maintaining and operating those facilities.
Particularly in light of Meridian having (inaudible) other half of the fairness pay
impact fees when we are developing our own property another governmental
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
November 9, 2004
Page 14 of21
entity in this particular area, So, the comments I have seen from ACHD in writing
that why are we paying the - why isn't the City of Meridian overjoyed to take
these things on? I think they need to take a look at themselves and I guess
that's my opinion on this particular matter. I don't see any room for negotiation at
this point. I think that jf they need drainage facilities, that's part of the road - their
roads have to meet their standards and I think they also have to meet the
community standards and as such they need to bear those costs. We are having
to meet their standards with our facilities. We are having to pay impact fees as
well. So, I guess when you balance it all, I think - I mean I understand their
budgetary plate, but Meridian's not overrun with buckets of money either. I agree
maybe we ought to sit down and talk about it, but when we got a level playing
field then I am going to be more willing to listen to it. Having said that -
Bird: I couldn't have said it better, Charlie. I agree word for word and I think it is
time that we do sit down and they are going to charge us impact fees - I don't
know why we jump so fast to take on the maintenance stuff. You know good and
well that some of these means hiring new people, having other equipment. We
pay our share of impact fee to them when we develop a park and I am like
Charlie, I think we need - that's something that really needs to be talked out
between the two entities. Any other?
De Weerd: Mr. President.
Bird: Madame Mayor.
De Weerd: I guess I appreciate staff trying to find a good middle ground here.
The areas that we are talking about are highly visible and they are in entry
corridors and they leave a lasting impression, in my opinion and on our city not
necessarily it is not signed that this is an ACHD facility that looks really bad. I do
understand your concern. I share that myself because come budget time I know
what the request will be. So, maybe and we did ask that these two items that we
had a chance to discuss it here before --
(Tape turned over)
De Weerd: -- in a joint session with ACHD, but perhaps something that Doug
can also do in between this time and when we get together in a joint session is
come up with what that maintenance would cost. Maybe even find an agreement
between the city and ACHD because they are not maintainers of landscaping
and I don't think they necessarily need to enter into that business. But, if we can
offer it at a reasonable cost that we can also recognize that this is a visual
anesthetic that we would like that would be an amenity to our community, I think
itls something that we can also come back with to them with.
Rountree: Mr. President.
,.""
I.
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
November 9, 2004
Page 15 of 21
Bird: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: You know I think if we are asking more in lines of amenities than we
have a responsibility to look at taking on what ACHD would not normally take on
and in terms of long-term maintenance I haven't seen a willingness, but I would
hope there is a willingness that we could work out maintenance arrangements,
but on a lump sum basis, not on a it's on (inaudible) a dying kind of a basis and I
think that way our tax payers are getting a fair deal spread around.
Wardle: Mr. President.
Bird: Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: I would agree with Councilman Rountree's earlier statements as well as
his last statements in the fact that right now regardless of the cost to maintain
these facilities, I am not willing to step out and say let's do it regardless of
whatever the cost is. For me it's more of a taxation issue for the citizens and I
agree that we make everyone else in the community follow standards and the
Highway District makes us follow their standards when we develop our property,
so I am not sure that we should jump out and take this on without further review.
Rountree: Mr. President.
Bird: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: I have a question for Doug. Are other cities - or Gary or whatever,
are other cities in ACHD's area of influence being asked or being required to
maintain drainage facilities.
Strong: Mr. President, Councilman Rountree I am not sure of that, but I do know
that the City of Boise maintains landscape quarters along the connector and
areas like that and you will see their parked trucks (inaudible) maintain - so
some kind of an agreement in place with the City of Boise to maintain those
areas. As a point of clarification I thought this is a very good discussion because
what's in front of us is we received an agreement from ACHD that for our review
and the decision to sign it to maintain these drainage areas, there is no signature
on an agreement yet, so this very timely discussion and I think it's a decision that
both the city and ACHD wants to make so we know how to go forward. Both
sides of the discussion has been presented very well and there is benefits both
ways. The impact of the maintenance would fall upon our department, so we
look at it as something that we can do, but it would probably impact operating
dollars, at least minimally; with a seasonal worker or someone that would have to
go out and maintain the area on occasion.
Bird: Thank you. Mayor, you will see before we meet with them that we will have
some kind of an idea from the Park's Department on cost?
(
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
November 9, 2004
Page 16 of 21
De Weerd: Yes, Mr. President. Doug, if you could pull together some estimates
of what it would cost staff time, so when we have this discussion with the
Commission, we have those numbers in front of us. And, if maybe during staff
presentation of this, if you can tell us if you have similar agreements, Gary, with
other municipalities similar to that we would appreciate that information as well.
Okay?
Bird: Thank you. Okay, any others on this? Mr. Clerk?
Berg: Mr. President just to remind you that meeting is one week from tonight. It
will start at 5:30 here at our Council Chambers.
Bird: Thank you Mr. Clerk.
Item 6.
Discussion of EMS District:
De Weerd: Mr. President I guess - Kenny did you want to introduce this? Do
you want me to just go ahead and introduce Don?
Bowers: That would be fine.
De Weerd: Mr. President Don Alloway is with us tonight he is the chair of the
blue ribbon EMS task force that the commission had put together and he and
Kenny and I met last week to discuss the petition that is out there regarding EMS
District that I think we briefly discussed prior to this meeting and I appreciated
many of the comments that Mr. Alloway had shared with us and some of his
concerns in the 12 recommendations that the task force brought and just wanted
to provide a little bit more information about the dissolving of the district and
recreating it and some of those items. How did I do Don?
Alloway: Thank you Madame Mayor, Mr. President, Council members. My name
is Don Alloway and I did serve as the chair to the Ada County Blue Ribbon Task
Force on emergency medical services. There were ten of us that served some
seven months and attended 54 hours of meetings, took public testimony for eight
hours. My personal library is over 2,000 pages of testimony and materials and
throughout this period of time, our initial charge was to review the provision for
emergency medical services in Ada County and the only guidelines that we had
was that we were not invited to bring forth any recommendation that would create
a system that would give (inaudible) service to the citizens of Ada County and the
second charge was that we were not to bring forth any recommendations that
would create a system that would put the service providers in more harm than
they already were in and these are fair sideboards to put on a task force. As a
result of hours of studying consideration we came up with 17 recommendations
and presented them to the County Commissioners on May 27,2004. In the final
report that looked like this, one of those recommendations the task force was
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
November 9, 2004
Page 17 of21
divided equally on and that was whether to mandate disclosure of response
times in connection with real estate sells, so that property buyers would know
what the response times were in the area they were looking to buy and that has
been set aside as probably it's appropriate to on the task force splits. One of the
recommendations was that we consider an area wide single agency to handle
emergency medical services. That's a long term goal that I still support because
I think it's more efficient if it's done right, but it includes consolidating
municipalities and county governments and I am not sure that I am young
enough to see that come to fruition. The other 15 recommendations take the
existing Ada County Emergency Medical Services division of Ada County and
make recommendation for changes that make it more efficient through better
utilization of resources and more intelligent dispatching of those resources to
scenes and also to look into ways to finance it. As I am sure many of you know
there was a Medicare change in the middle of 2002 that had the effect of taking
about $1,400,000 in revenues away from the Ada County Ambulance District and
that shortfall is not to be made up through efficiencies or getting rid of waste.
Everybody on the task force came to the same conclusion that we need to
increase our taxes in order to be able to fund an ambulance service and there
has never been any question in my mind and hopefully not in yours that Ada
County needs an ambulance service for all of us. We looked at one legislative
option, which would have been to allow an ambulance district to go to the public
to get a super majority vote to be able to bypass the three percent budget cap
that I am sure you all are very aware of and for two years running we went Ada
County and the Idaho Association Counties went to the legislature, yet the bill
didn't even get printed this January. So, the only option left that could make a
short fall is to dissolve the existing ambulance taxing district and create a new
taxing district, which then allows the County Commissioners to set a levee of up
to four tenths of one mil for the provision of ambulance services in Ada County.
So that end yesterday, maybe some of you saw it on the news yesterday, I
presented to the County Auditor a petition or a series of petitions signed by just
under 200 registered voters and property owners in Ada County requesting that
the County Commission hold a hearing on that and they have tentatively set
December ih for that hearing. Now, I met with Chief Bowers and Mayor De
Weerd to talk a little bit about this issue and try to enlist or support. At the time
that the task force was disbanded in May, we had the concurents of the Ada
County Fire Chiefs and I believe and I believe Chief Bowers was among those
that supported our recommendations and I believe he still does. I also believe
that the majority of the fire chiefs at this point and time don't back the disbanding
of the taxing district and creating a new one charging more taxes and there are a
couple of reasons for that and frankly, I can't say that I disrespect the man for
taking that stance. There are some things that have happened since then that
would call to a reasonable person's mind a question as to whether the Ada
County EMS Management is serious about heeding all of the recommendations
of the task force and along those lines, I wondered should I petition the
Commission? After asking myself that question every time I had to come back to
the answer we'll need additional money to have an ambulance service and we
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
November 9, 2004
Page 18 of21
need an ambulance service, so the petition is a correct thing to do and I urge you
to show up at the hearing on December ih and support it. What I am also going
to do at that hearing is urge that the County Commission do something other
than they have indicated they are thinking of doing. They talked to the media
yesterday in connection with the petition that I presented and indicated that they
might have to raise taxes to the full .4 mil levee. Right now the levee is at .1227
mils, which in round dollars gives tax revenues for ambulance service of about 2
% million dollars. If we set a levee at .2 mils in round numbers that will give us
$4 million or a $1.5 million more than we have, I think that is more than adequate
to do what we need. If we set it at 4 mils that gives revenues $8 million. $5.5
million more than they currently have to offset a short fall of a $1.4 million and to
do whatever else they wish to do and one of the problems that personally I saw
and this is my personal opinion, I believe there is a lot of competition between
firefighters and paramedics over the provision of medical services. I think there
is territories that are being staked out and are trying to be protective and at the
time that we produced our final report, each of the task force members had the
opportunity to add comments to the 17 recommendations, Many of us did. If
anybody had a comment, it got attached verbatim to the report and they are all in
the report and it was my comment that I believe that Ada County EMS had a
minimum of $600,000 in waste in their existing budget. Since that time, Ada
County EMS has brought forth an emergency medical services coverage
enhancement plan that was disclosed to the Mayor's at a meeting with the
Mayor's and the County Commissioners last month that I attended and briefed
them on the EMS and that particular enhancement program creates five
additional ambulances with single paramedic. The program says that they are
transport capable ambulances. The program doesn't indicate that they have
been given orders not to transport and that they are simply another unit
responding. That program costs about $1.25 million in salaries alone every year
and doesn't transport one more patient to the hospital. I plan to go to the public
hearing on December 7th and I plan to encourage the Commission to dissolve the
ambulance taxing district and to create a new one and to create it with a level
that is adequate for the funding of the ambulance district and I personally believe
that that level is around .2 mils and I also plan to encourage the County
Commissioners to fully implement all 15 of those recommendations. One of the
big cost savings recommendations that we made was to utilize our existing
resources in the community. The biggest of those resources are our firefighters
and the fire halls and equipment and your chief as did every other chief in Ada
County offered their facilities for use by Ada County EMS, sometimes without
cost, sometimes with minimal cost and so far a lot of that has been rejected. A
good example, Kuna Fire Department operates an ambulance. They are not
allowed to transport patients without an Ada County paramedic. Ada County has
a full time, 24~hour paramedic and a chase car, a Chevy Suburban that follows
the ambulance down the road. If the patient needs transporting the paramedic
rides in the ambulance and the firemen, if they only need one technician in the
back of the ambulance the firemen drives the chase car back. The cost of that to
Ada County EMS is about a quarter of a million dollars per year. They have four
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
November 9, 2004
Page 19 of 21
employees that they have to hire to staff it 24 hours a day, plus benefits, plus the
cost of the Chevy Suburban and operating it to with no purpose other than to
follow the ambulance. I talked to the chief of Kuna Fire Protection District and he
said that they would be more than happy to train paramedics and place them in
their ambulance if they could get 90 percent of the tax revenues that come from
their district to help support them, something between $70,000 and $90,000. So,
instead of spending a quarter of a million dollars that they could spend $70,000
or $90,000 by sharing their revenues and allowing the Fire Department to
participate. This is an example of the type of utilization of resources that we
need to do and I am hear today to enlist your help in showing up at the public
hearing on December ih and acting publicly and privately to our County
Commission, urging them to go ahead and adopt an ambulance taxing district
with an appropriate levee, but make it appropriate and not the maximum and
conditioning that with their adhering to the recommendations of the task force, all
of which I believe have real value to the emergency medical care of all of the
citizens of Ada County including those of Meridian. I would be happy to answer
any questions that anyone might have.
Bird: Council, Mayor any questions?
De Weerd: Mr. President.
Bird: Madame Mayor.
De Weerd: In discussing with Mr. Alloway, I guess I did not realize that our co-
location of an ambulance would be a non-transport situation and rather than find
creative ways to improve the situation it does get a paramedic onto the scene,
but it still is a terrible duplication of service to our tax payer in that we now send
one fire truck and two ambulances to the same scene and still would take one of
our firefighters out of service to help with that. So, I do know we will need to talk
further before we enter into the agreement on the co-location so we all
understand what service we will be providing our citizens and making sure that
we are improving it and leveraging our tax payer dollar rather than multiplying it.
Bird: Madame Mayor I agree with you and we meant with them over at the fire
stationj nothing was said that that wasn't going to be a transport ambulance and
you not only tie up one fireman, you tie up the whole crew because they go in to
picking u~ - have to go pick the fireman up. So, I hope everybody can make it
out the 7 h and listen. I was fortunate enough to sit on two or three of the task
force meetings and they did a great job and got to go over the results and they -
out of consideration a lot of work went into that and there is a lot of good ideas
that need to be implemented.
Alloway: Mr. President, Madame Mayor if I could respond to that, too. To simply
get a paramedic on the scene faster, you could train your firefighters for probably
$45,000 a year in additional salary to get the paramedic there earlier there than
i.
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
November 9, 2004
Page 20 of 21
the ambulance could come. It costs a quarter of a million dollars to staff a single
paramedic ambulance, plus the cost of the equipment and state law prohibits
transport of patients without a paramedic or an EMT in the back with the patient.
So, a single person ambulance could not by statute be a transport vehicle. So,
there are ways to do it. Having said that, I would certainly hope the Fire
Department is not forced or does not take the stand to act independently. At
several of our recommendations are recommended and integrated system where
we utilize all of our resources, but operate under a unified medical directorship
and with unified or common standing orders in single training program because
the doctors emergency rooms stressed that if they knew exactly what's going to
happen to the patient before the patient gets to the emergency room, they could
be better prepared to save lives.
Rountree: Mr. President.
Bird: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: I just wanted to express my appreciation for all the work you and your
Blue Ribbon Committee did. With what I have read and what you have
presented tonight you are asking the right questions and bringing forth the right
recommendations and I know how tough it is to sit through that many hours of
meetings and that many hours of hearings and then have to digest it all and
come up with some reason, but great job and I hope as you have directed us that
Ada County Commissioners can review that information and come to a reasoned
decision before they impose a 30 percent increase in taxes to the tax payers
without particular good direction at this point from at least what I have heard from
the media.
De Weerd: Mr. President.
Bird: Madame Mayor.
De Weerd: I guess what I would like to do is perhaps work with out attorney and
draft a letter of response from our city regarding the proposal and the petition in
particular and voice some of that in writing prior to the hearing and would
certainly appreciate any of the Council members that could join me at that
hearing to provide testimony. That's not on a Council day is it?
Donnell: It is.
De Weerd: Well, I guess our letter would have to suffice it as well as our staff
there.
Bird: Oh, no. That's the one we are not going to have.

October 13,2004
. To Whom It May Concern,
Letter of Reference for Boise Public Access TV~TV
I would like to take this time to express my support for Boise Public Access TV-TV. I
am the Executive Director of the Women of Color Alliance (WOCA); an organization
dedicated to the empowennent and advancement of Native, Immigrant, and Migrant,
Latina and African American women in the state of Idaho. Our organization like so
many non-profits, do not have the access to "big money" to get our issues and events out
there by local TV, radio or major newspapers, all this is quite costly and we are unable to
pay their high fee's. So we are dependent on Public Access TVTV to get our message
. about who we are and what we are doi.ng in the state of Idaho.
In the past year, WOCA has taken the opportunity offered by TVTV to do a show called,
"WOCA Speaks" our show profiles women of color in and around the state of ldaho to
express their concerns on issues that relate to local politics, to women sharing their
. achievements and struggles. This show has been able to build a wide network for women
in our organization and women who are interested in knowing more about the other
women who may live their communities. Due to the vast distances women must travel
and often live in complete isolation, our TV program, "WOCA Speaks') gives women the
. ability to hear what other women are doing in Idaho. We could not have done this
without the help and support of TV TV and their staff. Always professional and kind in
assisting us with questions and ideas, TVTV has given a new voice to women in Idaho.
Without TVTV, there would be a "silent voice" of the good and hard working
organizations and individuals, who would not other wise have the ability to discuss
important issues within our communities, TV TV is giving us that connection.
If you have any questions, please feel to contact me at 208-344-4914 or by email at
Sonya@wocaonline,org
Thank you,
Sonya Rosario

To Whom It May Concern:
It is my pleasure to offer a letter of support for Tl'el3SLlrC Valley Public Access
Televisio~ TVTV~ a much n~ded public forum for citizens and organizations to
tell their stories; a genuine grassroots organization.
Treasure Valley Public Access Television and it's small but capable staffhas
demonstrated an untiring ability to connect the university, the arts, and the
community-which directly benefits so many ofns who live and work in Boise. Our
assllciation vvitb. this organization began about three years ago. Since that time, the
Commission has had the privilege ofworldng On projects with Terry Christenot1
Station Manager; Troy Shreve, the Programming Director and Teclmical Manager;
Dr. Peter Lutze, former board chair and BSU professor; and many volunteers and
students.
TVTV fihned and then broadcast the presentations of keynote speakers from our two
statewide ArtMatters! conferences in 2001 and 2003. Our most recent. collaborative
project was for the creation of a videotape featuring recipients of the Governors Arts
Awards. These vignettes demonstrated a high degree of professionalism from
interviewer to film crew to editing and they will be expanded into a longer film
documentary that will be aired on Idaho Public Television.
It was a pleasure working with TVTV on the recent governor's arts award film
project. Everyone displayed a remarkable commitment to the project and in addition
were enthusiastic and professional. Treasure Valley Public Access Television is, and
will continue to be~ an asset to the city of Boise and the surrounding community; as
well as to the arts in Idaho. Peter Lutze said it well when he wrote "One of the
reasons I have been so excited about public access is 1hat it is a practical instrument
for the making of community through partnerships of non-profits, govermnent
entities, and individual citizens." r couldn't agree more and they have my whole-
hearted support.
Respectfully,
[L~
Dan Harpole,
Executive Director

Re: Leeshire Subdivision, AZ 04-017, PP 04-024, C.UP 04-;026
Dear Masot de Weerd:
This letter constitutes a request for reconsideratiolJ.!c1arification of the verbal c;lecision made by
the Meridian City Council on September 7, 2004, and tIle written decision made on October 12,
2004, with respect to the matter teferen?ed above. . Through. discussions with tQe City's atto~ey,
it has ~~c()me clear that our request for r~consideration (r:nade on Sept~rpber 28, 2004) was
, premat,rre because the final decision had yet to be rtI,ade.
It is very likely that all parties would benefit from a clear statem~nt of the "decisionJrom the City
Council. Because the decision of the ColJilcil was not tQoroughly disCJlssed, the basis for denial
of the application is unClear. Accqrding to Idaho Code 1$7-6519: ' - . .. .
4.. Whenever a governing ho~d. or zoning Of planning ~nd zornng
commission grants or denies a perinit, .it shall specify:
- .
(a) The onijnaitce an4 standards us~d in evaluating the application;
(b) The teas'olls for approval or dem?l; and .
(c) The aqtions, if any that the applicant could tak;e to obtain a permit.

In the Council's public hearing for Leeshire Subdivision many issues were discussed, however,
the statutory direction above does not appear to have been met. The developer is seeking
direction on design element modifications in order to obtain project approval.
Respectfully, we ask the Council to reconsider its decision and: (1) approve Leeshire
Subdivision; (2) tell the applicant what actions can be done to obtain approval; or (3) remand this
matter to the Plamring & Zoning Commission for further consideration. The last action may be
the most appropriate. The Planning & Zoning Commission did advise us at the Commission
hearing that if the City Council denied the application the matter would be remanded to the
Commission. >
Very truly yours,

Mayor Tammy de Weerd
De Weerd: I will go ahead and call the City Council regular meeting to order. It is

welcome you all here tonight and ask the city clerk to, please, start with roll call

We know your love endures forever and it's new every morning and great is your
faithfulness. God, we thank you for this great city that you have built and you are
continuing to build and thank you for this team of leaders before me and citizens behind.
God, we are in this city together. We pray for vision to be shared tonight from your
heart through the presentations and decisions made, that there be wisdom from heaven

Item 4:
Adoption of the Agenda:
De Weerd: If you will allow me, I'd like to present you with one of our new City of
Meridian pins and thank you for joining us. Before we get to Item 4, Kenny, I would like
it if you could, please, step forward to the microphone. Chief Bower. The city missed
an opportunity twice now to recognize our fire chief. Chief Kenny Bowers was
appointed fire chief on December 30th, 1983, and he became a full time position on
October 1 st, 1992. We failed to recognize the milestones that we have reached with
Chief Bowers and also prior to him being appointed the fire chief he served as a
volunteer for both our fire and our police department and so, Kenny, I'd like to take an
opportunity to recognize you for your contribution to our community with something.
Kenny, this is something that ICRMP had put together at one time and Will got a copy of
it with their permission, of course, and got it framed and we would like to present this to
you for the years of service to our community and in recognition for your dedication.
Bowers: Well, thank you. It's been enjoyable. It's been fun. Thank you very much.
De Weerd: So, thank you, Kenny. I didn't want you to get away without me doing that.
Okay. Item No. 4 is adoption of the agenda.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I would move -- well, we are going to have -- I need the resolution number on the
resolution disposal or surplus and their consent. Do we have a resolution number?
Wardle: 04-05 -- or excuse me. 04-450.
Bird: Okay. And also the staff has asked us to -- which we will do when we get to them,
is table No. 11 and No. 13, if anybody is here for that. And with that I would move that
we adopt the agenda as revised on 11/9/04.

would.
Rountree: Second agrees.

Department Reports
A. City Clerk - Will Berg
1. Request to Change Date for Public Hearing for
Kingsbrid~e Subdivision Annexation and Zoning,
Preliminary Plat, and Conditional Use Permit for a
Planned Development Applications:
De Weerd: Okay. Item 6. Department Reports. We will begin with our city clerk.
Berg: Thank you, Madam Mayor. Even though this probably wasn't my topic, we put it
under my department. We had a request made to us in writing -- and I think you have a
copy of that in your electronic files -- to change the date for the Public Hearing for
Kingsbridge. The applicant's representative explained the situation that he was involved
with, that he's asking to change that date, so he can make it to do a full presentation. I
believe a representative from this project is also here tonight if you have any other
questions to ask them. Thank you.
De Weerd: Council, would you like to hear from the applicant or do you have
discussion?
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I'd like to hear from the applicant, because we have set this when he was here
and never heard anything about him not being able to be here at that time and there
was a lot of people here that was under the impression that it's going to be a certain
date.
De Weerd: Okay. If you will, please, state your name.

Clarneau: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, my name is Randy Clarneau, and
I'm the senior partner of Vision First, 661 South Rivershore Lane, Suite 120, in Eagle.
83616. Ken Elliott, who is a senior member of our team, who made the presentation at
the last meeting, actually realized later that he is going to be out of the country during
that time and because he is a senior member of our team and is probably most familiar
with the discussions that have transpired with the neighborhood, with the staff, with the
consultants and so forth, I think it would be a mistake to have the meeting without him,
since he has a lot of that background and knowledge, and so he has requested on our
behalf that we move that and we have also offered to notify the residents and pay for
the cost of that or to pay for the cost if the city would want to notify the residents of the
date change. And I think it would also, you know, give us a little more time for
preparation. Not that we have a tremendous amount of need for that, but certainly
would give us more time for preparation.
De Weerd: Okay.
Nary: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes. Mr. Attorney.
Nary: Just for the Council's consideration, because the request came the day of the
meeting, the notices -- and I think that's why it's under Mr. Berg's report -- the notices
haven't been sent yet. There is adequate time to provide adequate notice under the
statute for either the date that we originally set of November 30th or a reset date
afterwards. So, it's within your discretion to do either one.
Bird; Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: If we was to reset that, it would be -- the first available one would be the 14th of
December. Would that give -- that gives us time and everything to get it all noticed?
De Weerd: And I believe that the offer has been that all of those that have signed up on
the sign-up sheet to testify, mailings would be made to them as well?
Clarneau. That's correct.
De Weerd: Okay.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Meridian City Council
November 9,2004
Page 6 of 39
Bird: If he's willing to do that, I'm certainly willing to change the date to December 14th,
2004.
Rountree: Is that a motion?
Bird: That's a motion.
Rountree: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. It's been moved and seconded to go ahead and put this to
December 14th, with the notification going out to those within the typical mailing area,
as well as those that were signed up to testify. So, is there any further discussion?
Okay. All those in favor say aye. All ayes. Motion carries. You said aye?
Wardle: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes.
Wardle: Not having been part of the former, I'm just -- I'm going to abstain.
De Weerd: Abstain. Okay. So three ayes, one abstain.
MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES. ONE ABSTAIN.
B. Parks Department - Doug Strong
1. Presentation on Adventure Island Playground.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you, Mr. Berg. The Parks Department. Doug, I guess before
you go, Mr. Day isn't here yet?
Bird: Yeah. He's here.
De Weerd: Is he?
Bird: He's right there in the back corner.
De Weerd: Yeah. Boy, you clean up really nice, Brad. Didn't even recognize you.
Well, thank you. Yes. Mr. Strong.
Strong: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, you'd like to start, then, with either this
-- the Powerpoint presentation or the appreciation certificate.
De Weerd: Yes, please.
Meridian City Council
November 9, 2004
Page 7 of 39
Strong: Okay. We will start with that. Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I
appreciate the opportunity to spend a few minutes talking about a very perfect
partnership that we have going on in Meridian that will leave the City of Meridian with
the first universally accessible playground in the state and will be kind of an icon for at
least the park system and how partnerships can work to bring something of great
benefit to the community. As many of you will recall, because you have been involved
with this project from the very beginning, as it started with just an idea or dream and it's
taken several years to make some progress to where we, actually, now on this coming
Saturday will have the opportunity to open the first phase of the playground. I have a
series of slides that show the progress and this -- you see the date it was September
10th, 2003, over a year ago we were out on just open ground at Settler's Park doing
ground breaking and it was the opportunity to bring attention that there was going to be
a playground there and there was -- at that time there was still, I think, concern that it
was really going to happen, but the decision was made to move ahead and get things
moving. So, this picture represents what the playground is all about is the opportunity
for children of all abilities to come to an area where everyone can play together in a
playground that's built to accommodate each of their individual needs and also promote
their sensory development and individual development. So, as you can see in the
background, the beginning of the excavation that started to form the first phase of the
project and it -- there was a lot of underground work, earth moving, thousands of yards
of dirt brought in to make the berm that was necessary for -- at the playground. And,
then, it was time to start the community build part of the project and on August 25th of
this year, all of this equipment that you see moved on these trailers became the first
part of the playground to be built in a major community build project. The beginning of
the day the site looked like this. As the day progressed on August 30th of the
community build day, everything was laid out and over 300 community volunteers
showed up to help assemble it and put it all together. So, during the course of the day
there was a tremendous amount of activity and as you can see there was dust and
noise and people lifting and doing all kinds of things and the guy standing on the ramp
can show the OSHA approved --
Bird: I was going to say, all OSHA approved.
Strong: -- way not to damage you're hearing is just stick your fingers in your ears. All
the pieces were laid out and as you can see that these tops of different pieces of
playground had to be manually moved over and put in place and everybody got
involved. It didn't make any difference your age or whether you were male or female or
what, it was a -- very much a joint event and at the end of the day, about 6:00 o'clock,
everybody assembled for a picture and everything was there and in place. Now, in
saying that, it doesn't mean that everything was bolted down and secure, it just meant
that everything was put in place and, essentially, put together so that the next phase of
the project could take place. And, essentially, what that amounted to is all that those
pieces of play equipment that you see there that have a foundation or a base either had
to be poured in concrete or bolted down. Some of that work was done with continued
work by volunteers and much of the work was done by department staff and one of
those staff members is here tonight that we will recognize a little bit later that did a
Meridian City Council
November 9, 2004
Page 8 of 39
tremendous amount of work on this project. I want to point out two things about this
slide. This is the day that the surfacing -- the pour-in-place surfacing that we have
heard much about in the news recently, was started to be laid out. I want to point out
the two yellow poles that are in the parallel bars. You see the round circles at the base
of the pole, that shows how they had to be secured. There is actually concrete poured
around them and that was done by volunteers to secure them in place. Most of the
equipment that you see on the left was, actually, bolted into the cement, which meant
holes had to be drilled, bolts had to be put in place, and bolted down and any final
adjustments to make sure that everything was plum had to be completed. This first
layer of surfacing is about three inches thick. It's a -- it's a much coarser material than
the top layer of surfacing and it goes down to form the base and you can't see any of
the drainage system there, because they have covered it up, but under this base there
is a drainage system throughout the playground that will take any water on the surface
down through the rubberized surfacing, this is porous and, then, take it away from the
playground, so there is never any standing water on the surface. So, this provides most
of the cushion for the playground and it went in around all the equipment. I'm going to
skip to another topic here for a minute before we get to the final surfacing. This is the
railing that tomorrow morning the first section that's been powder coated and completed
will be put in place at the playground is being fabricated in our shop at the department.
On the left is Brad Day and on the right is Terry Whipple, our fabrication expert. The
design was created by the Land Group and how to put it all together was up to Terry to
do and he's been working for over a month now on several sections of the railing. The
thing that makes it complicated is there is only one straight section, all the rest of it is
curved and goes up and down hill. So, if you have ever seen any metal fabrication,
that's not an easy job. This is the section that will be put in place tomorrow and you can
see that's what it's going to look like when it comes back with all final welds complete
and ground down and power coating in place, so it will be as colorful as the rest of the
playground. So, there is still some sections of railing to be completed that you won't see
if you're there on Saturday for the opening. We had to bring in domestic water lines and
trenching, so that there could be water fountains and such at the playground and, then,
this is the final surfacing that's a different kind of grain and it's about an inch thick that's
put on top and it provides the color to the playground. This particular piece of
playground equipment was installed professionally after the other major section of
playground was put in and this is the surfacing around it and you can see some of the
designs that are in the surface of the playground to give it kind of appearance of like
water and sand and, then, dirt like a beach area. And this is another very colorful area
of the major playground area that you saw earlier. This is a section of the playground,
some of which was damaged by whatever individuals got in there before it was set up
and had been replaced. The blue surfacing was what was damaged that is now, as you
can see, in good shape. So, I want to emphasize that we will do our grand opening on
this coming Saturday at 1 :00 o'clock at Settler's Park and everybody is invited to attend
and participate in that and, hopefully, we will have a good day. And with that I also
need to emphasize that this is just the first phase. As I mentioned earlier, it's about a
third of what will actually end up being in the total playground. The second will be this
section, which we are calling fish wreck, which is phase two, and you can see it has
also a water theme and it's a zero depth water feature. And I want to read the words
Meridian City Council
November 9, 2004
Page 9 of 39
from -- that Angela Lindig put in her invitation to come this weekend about this second
phase and she said we anticipate phase two will require approximately another 500,000
dollars in order to complete the zero depth splash pad, accessible swings, touchable
waterfall, explorative sand area, bolder rock climbing areas and outdoor musical play
area, as well as other park amenities, such as benches, tables, and shaded gazebos.
All of these components will create a unique and sensory rich play area for kids of all
abilities. And I think that's really the key to this entire playground is that it will be unique
in the state and there isn't any child that would not be able to play here in some form or
fashion and find a very sensory rich experience. So, with that I would entertain any
questions you might have before we move into the next phase.
De Weerd: Council, any questions?
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: The only thing I'd like to have Doug testify on to start with, this is something that's
a win-win for the city, because they are helping do this and, then, they turn it over to us
and it's for the whole community. I mean it's for the whole Treasure Valley. It's the only
one in here and I'm just very proud that we were the ones that got to select it and the
ones that got to put it in.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Strong: Thank you. Actually, Councilman Bird, you bring up an important point. VVhen
we planned the opening on the 6th there was a family from Ontario that had actually
planned to come over for the opening. So, I think it will reach out to the entire valley
and beyond, because it will -- it is so unique in the state and especially in this area.
De Weerd: Well, this is certainly an amenity not only for Meridian and the region, it will
be a one of its kind in the state of Idaho and they have found that throughout the
country there are very few of these and they do have a wide appeal to a wide area
surrounding where they are located, so people will travel miles where their kids can play
together on such a facility and I guess, Doug, when we began dreaming about this
playground, we never thought angles and curves and those kind of things. So, that --
which brings to the table a lot of people make these things happen and, actually, Becky
McKay and her husband were an integral part of some of the underground work and
appreciate that. It does take a lot of people. This has been a real community based
effort, certainly spearheaded by Angela and she -- she and her husband Darin have
been tremendous behind this. But also our staff as well and, Brad, we wanted you to be
here today, because we wanted to recognize that -- I know this is part of your job, but
you took it above and beyond. You have spent countless hours and maybe before I
present you with a certificate of appreciation, I'd like Doug to expand on that.
Meridian City Council

Strong: Thank you, Madam Mayor. I think with any project like this, as you have
mentioned, there is certainly a long list of people that have made contributions to the
project by community donations and community volunteer work. When that work is
complete oftentimes what's left is the refinement of their efforts might be one way to say
it. Like I mentioned, all of that equipment that was put in place needed to be bolted
down, it needed to be trued up with levels and plums to make sure that everything fit
like it was supposed to and transition points were smooth, so that kid in wheelchairs
could navigate around the equipment safely without any barriers at all and I think in
each department there is always somebody that brings a unique set of skill sets that
really contribute to getting that kind of very unique kinds of job task completed and
certainly on this project Brad Day is the person who brought all that. He drilled all the
holes I think in the concrete, put in all the bolts, made sure everything was plum. And,
then, when the pour-in-place surfacing fellows got there, they informed him that the
bolts were too tall, too high, you need to grind them off, so he was the guy that got to
grind them down to the right height so that the pour-in-place surfacing could go over
them and just one challenge after another it seemed like and has also provided some of
the assistance that Terry Whipple has needed in the construction of the railing. So, we
are very pleased to have Brad in the staff. Like I say, he brings a unique set of skills to
the department that without his expertise there is a lot of things that we would have to
hire done or it wouldn't get done. So, appreciate all that Brad does.
De Weerd: Brad, if you will, please, come forward. It's a small token of our
appreciation, but we would like to recognize you for your efforts and what a great legacy
that you had a big role in creating for our community and our region. Our certificate is to
acknowledge your dedication and hard work on Adventure Island Playground Project
and we gratefully appreciate your outstanding efforts. Thank you. You know, I also
have one for you, Doug. You know, it's not often we get a chance to recognize our staff
for their contributions and oftentimes we -- or too often we take for granted a lot of the
tremendous work that's done in our community and, Doug, we appreciate the leadership
you have given to this project in making it happen and tying up the loose ends and we
have seen you out there on weekends and in evenings and we know the countless
hours that you have put to this project as well and we appreciate your dedication to this.
It's going to mean a lot to our community and we look forward to the grand opening on
Saturday. So, I hope you're all able to join us and, Kitty, we sure have appreciated the
coverage that the paper has given this and the profile, because it is a very important
day, in particular for a large group of volunteers. We had over 300 people show up to --
you know, 'like to use the paper's figure more than I like to use Doug's. They said 500.
So, we had a lot of people show up on build day and really shows what support we do
have in this community. Okay.
Donnell: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Oh, I'm sorry.
Donnell: I just wanted to add that it would be really neat if down the road we could see
some pictures of it when it's full of children using it.
Meridian City Council

De Weerd: I think you will be able to see that on Saturday.
Donnell: Good. I will be there.
C. Mayor's Office
1. Mayor's Report.
De Weerd: Good. My report, I am very excited to tell you that the Mayor's Youth
Advisory Council, we have 14 kids that will meet at the end of the month for its very first
Mayor's advisory youth -- or Youth Advisory Council. We had 25 applications or
applications of interest submitted and we allowed up to 15 kids in our original vision of
this and thought we would start with 14. We have a 50-50 split and that wasn't done on
purpose, it just happened to fall out that way, of seven females and seven males. We
have -- four members are 15, six members are 16, and three members are 17, which
means two of those members are seniors and will open up seats -- for sure seats for the
following year, but we have a great diversity of kids to really I think give a real diverse
look on our Mayor's first Youth Advisory Council. I would like to ask the Council if any of
you have an interest, I would like to have a Council member that can also be a liaison
for Council on this group. If anyone has an interest I would certainly welcome your
participation. And I guess you can tell me in private if you want to. Either that or I'll just
appoint one of you.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: If somebody don't step forward, I will be glad to do it.
De Weerd: Thank you, Mr. Bird. I appreciate that. It's really exciting. What we are
going to do the first time is bring them in for pizza --
Bird: And I know I'd like that.
De Weerd: Oh, sorry, I would have gotten all of you volunteering. I'm only going to feed
one of you. But we will give a little bit of the history and background, do an ice breaker
and find out what their vision of this is. The first meeting the beginning of the year we
will bring kids from Caldwell and Nampa to talk about what they have been doing in their
youth councils, to give them an idea as they look at the draft of bylaws we have already
prepared, how they envision this group being and how they interact with Council and
city-related issues. The ten other kids that applied -- or eleven other kids that applied,
we will try and get them in Meridian's Promise, on the parks commission, on the
historical preservation commission. We have several different opportunities for them.
So, we will engage all of these students that have indicated an interest.
Meridian City Council

De Weerd: Okay. Item D is our city attorney.
D. Attorney Bill Nary
Nary: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, after all those very feel good things, I
hate to be the next one on the agenda. I did just want to make you aware you did have
in your boxes tonight we have had a request for both a reconsideration, as well as
request for a takings analysis, which is a statutory option that's been in place for about
two years in this state when you have an application or a permit denied, you have an
opportunity to request the governmental entity to provide you an analysis as to why -- or
how that may affect you. This is on the Leeshire property that was denied as a final
decision of denial -- or the finding were approved on the 12th of October. The one thing
that happens statutorily from that when a takings analysis is requested, it does toll the
time in which to request a review by the Fourth Judicial District Court. Ms. Butler
represents the developer Mr. Tapola and she had requested a second reconsideration.
The Council recalls this was denied initially in September. They requested a
reconsideration prior to the end of September, but also prior to the findings actually
being prepared. And so at that -- at that point the reconsideration was not granted -- or
not considered, because there were no findings before this CounciL When it was raised
again in October and the findings were before this Council, no one specifically
requested a reconsideration again at that juncture, so the findings were approved.
What I will do before next week's meeting is provide you with some information as to
your options in dealing with that if you wish. I also wanted to advise you today that we
did receive an inquiry and I think you should have a letter from an attorney that is going
to be filing a petition for review and I think Mr. Berg and I came to the conclusion that
this is the property at Ustick and Eagle that we believe was -- the Ruwe property has
already been annexed, but it was not approved? Is that correct, Mr. Berg? Is that the
property I think we are talking about. They didn't identify it in the letter, but I think that's
who -- I think that's who these folks represent. So, they are going to file a petition for
review. I did want to advise you of that formally and also as I anticipated -- was hoping
to avoid this in the first month I was here, but that didn't work out so well. We will
probably likely need to contract this particular matter out to probably White Peterson to
handle, since they have handled our other cases such as this. We don't get very many
of them and I was hoping we wouldn't have one right away, but due to the time and the
need that this type of conditions for review take, it is probably going to be best off for the
city to have an outside firm handle this particular one. I did also receive a call today and
the lady's name escapes me. I think it's Burn. It's the request -- is that the right name?
Canning: Donna Born.
Nary: Born. That's right. I'm sorry. Thank you. I did receive a call today from Ms.
Born. This is, if you recall, Council, this was the denial of a variance for a garage that
was about sometime in the month of October that that was denied and she was also
seeking a petition for review. I am going to recommend she seek counsel for something
like that and have a conversation with her. I think Mrs. Canning and I were going to see
if there was something we could do to resolve that matter short of that, but I wanted to
Meridian City Council
November 9, 2004
Page 13 of 39
advise you that that did come today and so we may be seeing another petition as well
and, ultimately, I think on Leeshire that's certainly a possibility. So, all of those -- all of
those possible scenarios I wanted to bring to your attention and, again, knew you had
some of that documentation, but not all of it, so I wanted you to be aware of it tonight.
That there must be something good next, so--
Item 7:
(Items Moved from Consent Agenda)
De Weerd: Well, Mr. Nary, I appreciate you keeping our feet on the ground. Okay. We
did not move any items from the Consent Agenda.
Item 8:
Tabled from November 3, 2004: FP 04-063 Request for Final Plat
approval for 50 single-family residential building lots and 13 common lots
on 15.34 acres in a R-8 zone for Sheridan Place Subdivision by Robert
Chavez - east of North Locust Grove Road and north of East McMillan
Road:
De Weerd: So, we will move to Item No.8, tabled from November 3rd, on FP 04-063.
I'll begin with staff comments.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, this was the final plat for Sheridan
Place Subdivision, which is located on the north side of McMillan Road east of Locust
Grove. Now, that I have those streets down. The item was tabled in order for staff to
prepare a little more information on a driveway for an existing residence located in the
southwest corner of the proposed subdivision. Council had asked for more information.
We did have a -- the original conditions of approval had a note restricting access to
McMillan Road. The applicant had responded saying that that driveway had been
approved by ACHD during the preliminary plat process. I did go back to staff and ask
them to research what we had known and what information we had conveyed to the
Planning and Zoning Commission and to the City Council on this item when the
preliminary plat went through. You do have a memo from Steve Siddoway regarding
the issue and I'll try and summarize it briefly. Mr. Siddoway was not fully aware of the
driveway access -- taking access from McMillan Road. The landscape plan that he
reviewed in his review of the subdivision did not have the driveway shown. There were
subsequent copies of the preliminary plat that refer to an existing driveway to remain.
Sometimes that's shown at the subdivision boundary, sometimes it's referencing a
driveway that straddles the subdivision boundary, so -- and in all cases the landscape
island is always shown as having sod and a driveway and more sod. So, it is not clear
from those drawings, especially the landscape drawings, although there is the call out
on the preliminary plat. Steve did attend a tech -- Ada County Highway District tech
review on this subject and at that time the item of discussion was -- did not focus on this
-- to his knowledge it was -- it was not discussed at the tech review he was at. I think
there was more than one tech review on this project and that could have occurred at
that time. The items of discussion at that -- at the tech review he attended were this
item -- this area here and whether it could be accessed from a separate cul-de-sac
street. That was the primary issue discussed. Becky McKay did send an e-mail to me
Meridian City Council
November 9, 2004
Page 14 of 39
yesterday. I didn't notice that the clerk was not cc'd, so that did not get down to you all
for your packet. She is here and has comments -- basically a rebuttal to Steve's letter. I
did try and -- I also received an e-mail from Lori Dunn-Hartog from Ada County Highway
District saying that ACHD had discussed it in their staff report and we did recognize that
it was in the ACHD staff report. Our staff does not -- did not have that staff report at the
time they wrote theirs. It received the ACHD staff reports afterwards. And I did ask her
to -- if she could verify when tech reviews were done, if there is more than one, and who
was in attendance at the time. I did not receive a reply from her on that -- on that
request. And with that [ will end staff's presentation.
De Weerd: Okay. Council, any questions at this point?
Bird: I have none, Mayor.
De Weerd: Mrs. McKay, do you have anything to add?
McKay: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council --
De Weerd: Please state your name and address.
McKay: Becky McKay, Engineering Solutions, 150 East Aikens, Suite B, Eagle. I was
not able to attend last week's meeting due to illness. Sheri came over in my place.
Some confusion, obviously, arose over the driveway issue. The memo that I sent Anna,
I'd just kind of like to go through it, since it was not part of your packet. The existing
driveway to the existing home was delineated on all preliminary plats, including the one
that was referenced in our development agreement. At Ada County Highway District at
tech review we did discuss the driveway and Ada County Highway District's staff report
reflects that on page eight. May I quote: The applicant is proposing to utilize existing
20-foot wide driveway that intersects McMillan Road. They incorrectly put at the east,
but it should have been west property line. This driveway is proposed to serve the
existing single-family residence and is proposed to intersect with McMillan Road
approximately 115 feet west of Schubert Way. The applicant is proposing to utilize
existing driveway due to the fact that the existing home and garage are oriented in such
a way that the garage could not be accessed from North Schubert. District policy
requires driveways on arterial roadways with speed limit of 50 miles per hour to offset a
minimum of 255, but it is supportive of the applicant's proposal to utilize the existing
driveway. And, then, it goes on to say staff is supportive of utilizing the existing
driveway due to the fact that the home is oriented in a manner that the homeowner
could not access the garage from Schubert Way and a single family is anticipated to
generate approximately ten vehicles trips per day. They also qualified that stating that if
the home were ever removed from the site or the use happened to change, that, then,
access would be required from Schubert. Obviously, with this in our ACHD staff report,
this item was discussed at tech review. The confusion arose between -- if you recall
correctly -- [ know you hear so many of these they kind of start blending together. I
have a hard time keeping my own stuff straight some days. There was a 25-foot access
easement that was recorded on this property and 25 feet that was recorded on the
Meridian City Council
November 9, 2004
Page 15 of 39
adjoining property to the west. There was a discussion by Mr. Buckley, he wanted
compensation for that.
Canning: Becky, can you use the laser pointer up there, so everyone can see?
McKay: I'm sorry. It was located here on the west boundary. I believe the confusion
that arose was the issue of Mr. Buckley. The driveway -- there is no access straddling
the property line. The only driveway is to the existing home, which is located right here.
We kept putting on here existing home, existing driveway to remain, and if one goes out
in the field there is one existing driveway into the subject property, which goes into this
house, and so I don't know whether staff got confused about the issue of the easement
from Mr. Buckley and this property, which we did work with Mr. Buckley, my clients
purchased -- or compensated Mr. Buckley in exchange for relinquishment of this 25-foot
old easement that was adjoining his boundary and it was also existent on his side. My
clients have spent a considerable amount of money, approximately 53,000 dollars
updating this home, re-roofing it, making it an asset to this neighborhood that they are
trying to create. Obviously, they want to make an impression when someone comes in
and this house had to be updated and enhanced. There was one -- the original
landscape plan that was submitted did not reference the existing driveway and it was
not shown, but when we resubmitted our landscape plan prior to Council on 4/26/04, the
revised plan stated the existing driveway would remain. We've never tried to mislead
the staff, mislead the Council in any shape or form and if you look at this plat, the home
-- the garage is -- I have kind of highlighted in that yellow. The outline of the home is in
purple. The only way to get into that garage is along this western boundary. I have
approximately eight trees that are -- a lot of them are very mature and we have been
working with the city arborist as far as we had a couple out here that we were trying to
avoid with our sidewalk. If I -- if we have to bring a driveway around here, one -- my
client has tried to get a vehicle this way and make the turn, we can't. It's impossible.
There will be no backing motion into the arterial and I believe that was a hot button
issue on another one of these questions of driveways directly coming off an arterial.
They will be backing out and coming out front ways. I don't -- anytime I can avoid any
direct lot access on arterials we do. We go to great pains. This particular orientation of
this home in westward fashion with the driveway facing due west and this being
technically the rear yard where all of the landscaping that is existing is -- that is going to
have to remain, I don't have any other option and I'm not -- I don't believe I'm coming at
the 11th hour. This has always been on our plan, it was just confusion. So, hopefully,
that is clarified for the Council what's transpired. And to my knowledge we did not have
any condition on the preliminary plat that I can recall that said no direct lot access to
McMillan. Otherwise, we would have been arguing that before the Council and it would
have been of record. Do you have any questions?
De Weerd: Council, any questions?
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Meridian City Council
November 9, 2004
Page 16 of 39
Bird: I have to agree with Becky that we did discuss that. We knew it was there. It just
goes into the existing house. It's on the west side and not the east side. I don't recall
any condition -- I mean I'd have to look back at the minutes -- any condition regarding
that being not usable for that one house on the west side. So, I would have to agree
with her on that point.
De Weerd: Okay. Any others comments?
Rountree: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: I had a question. Is this point of access actually in the subdivision or is it
adjacent property on an easement?
McKay: No. It is a lot in the subdivision. The existing home?
Rountree: No. The access point.
McKay: The access point is on the subject property. Yes, sir. It is not on the adjoining
property. No.
Rountree: Okay. It's on the far western boundary?
McKay: It is on our far western boundary, yes, sir.
De Weerd: Any other questions? Okay.
McKay: Thank you.
De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. Council, do I have a motion?
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I move that we approve FP 04-063, Sheridan Place Subdivision and also leave
that existing driveway for the existing house and lot to only service that house and lot.
Donnell: I will second that.
De Weerd: Okay. The motion is to approve with the existing driveway and with the
condition that there is a change of use that that would be --
Bird: Yeah. You bet.

Canning: Madam Mayor, just for clarification of the motion, the applicant had requested
some specific wording and we went over this last week. I'm sorry, I should have
refreshed your memory -- that some specific wording on conditions number 11 and,
then, 16, note 18. On eleven it would be to strike the first sentence saying the existing
house on Lot 9, Block 5, will be required to take access from North Schubert Way. So,
that would be struck. And, then, on condition number 16, just strike note 18 and,
instead, replace it with the language proposed by the applicant in their letter dated
October 29th, which states that utilize the existing 20 foot wide driveway that intersects
McMillan Road at the east property line as proposed. Oh. I'm sorry. On note 16 it
would be except for the cross-access easement shown for Lot 9, Block 5, direct lot
access to East McMillan Road is prohibited.
Bird: That's true.
De Weerd: Okay. So, to include applicant's comments?
Bird: Yes. And also staff comments.
De Weerd: Via her letter?
Bird : Yes.
De Weerd: Okay. Is there anything further, Council? Okay. Mr. Berg.
Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, nay; Wardle, yea; Donnell, yea.
MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES. ONE NAY.
Item 9:
FP 04-065 Request for Final Plat approval of 57 building lots and 6 other
lots on 17.29 acres in a R-8 zone for Redfeather Estates Subdivision
No.4 by Packard Estates Development, LLC - south of East Ustick Road
and east of Eagle Road:
De Weerd: Item 9 is FP 04-065.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, this is Redfeather Estates No.4.
It's on the south side of Ustick east of Eagle Road and this is a request for 57 residential
building lots and six common lots on 17.29 acres. The area for the preliminary -- or the
final plat is shown here in red on the preliminary plat. And here it is. It has a gross
density of 3.3 dwelling units per acre and a net density of 3.98 dwelling units per acre.
The applicant did receive approval for a planned development that allowed for
reductions to the minimum lot size, minimum street frontage, minimum house size. The
proposed final plat is in substantial compliance with the preliminary plat. They did add a
micro-path to Lot 30, Block 17, wh ich contains a subsurface storm drainage pond and
(

staff felt that it still complied with the approved preliminary plat. Staff is recommending
approval of this final plat.
De Weerd: Okay. Anna, did we receive word from the applicant? Do they agree with
all the comments?
Canning: I do not have a letter from the applicant on this one. They are indicating that
they are in agreement.
De Weerd: Okay.
Canning: It's not in my file.
De Weerd: Thank you. Council, do you need any further information?
Wardle: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Wardle,
Wardle: Hearing no need for further information, I move that we approve FP 04-065,
final plat for Redfeather Estates Subdivision No.4.
Rountree: Second.

east of Eagle Road:
De Weerd: Item 10 is FP 04-066. We will start with staff comments.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, again, this is Redfeather Estates.
The circled area was -- for the final plat is shown on the preliminary plat and as you will
see, it is in substantial compliance with the approved preliminary plat. The applicant is
requesting 27 building lots and one common lot on 7.3 acres. So, the gross density is
3.66 dwelling units per acre and a net density of 4.58. The subdivision, again, had
reductions for lot size, street frontage, and house size and the final plat is in substantial

compliance with the approved preliminary plat. I do have a letter from the applicant
stating that they are in agreement with the conditions of approval. And I did on the
other one, too, just for Mrs. McKay's good name. She did give me a letter on the last
one. It was hidden in my file. I'm sorry. With that I'll end staff's presentation.
De Weerd: Okay. Council, any further information?
Bird: I have none.
De Weerd: Okay.
Wardle: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: I move that we approve Item No. 10, PP 04-066, final plat for Redfeather

Bird: Yes.
De Weerd: Okay. I would entertain a motion.
Rountree: So moved.
Bird: What date, Charlie?
De Weerd: To what date?
Rountree: Did we have a request for a date?
Meridian City Council
November 9, 2004
Page 20 of 39
Canning: One week should be sufficient at this time. Part of the issue was that they
needed to coordinate with Mr. Freckleton. We are hoping that we can still get that
resolved by the end of the week, but if we -- we may need to put it off two, but we had
committed to one previously.
De Weerd: Okay.
Rountree: We had committed when?
Canning: Well, we had led the applicant -- staff had hoped that we could get the
applicant taken care of in the next week, but -- of course, you make the decision, so that
was --
Rountree: I get a sense that -- I move that we table that until our regularly scheduled
meeting on the 23rd of November.
Bird: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. The motion is to table Item 11, FP 04-067, to November 23rd, 2004.
All in favor say aye. All ayes. Motion carries.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Item 12:
FP 04-068 Request for Final Plat approval of 10 commercial building lots
on 3.80 acres in an L-O zone for Brockton Subdivision by Confluence
Management, LLC - 3665 North Locust Grove Road:
De Weerd: Okay. Item 12 is FP 04-068. I'll start with staff comments.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, this is the final plat for Srockton
Subdivision, which is south of Heritage Commons on Locust Grove Road north of -- I'm
not even going to get myself in trouble with that. North of Ustick. Thank you. This is a
final plat for ten commercial building lots on 3.8 acres in an L-O zone. This was the
approved site plan and I'm showing you this one, because when we go to the final plat
you will see that it doesn't convey as much information. So, this was the approved
preliminary plat. This is the final plat. The final plat is in substantial conformance with
the approved preliminary plat and staff is recommending approval and we do not have a
letter from the applicant on this one.
De Weerd: Okay. Is the applicant here tonight? No letter?
McKay: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, we received the staff report this
morning, but I know Mr. Freckleton's had a loss in his family, so, obviously, that's fine
with us. I did not have opportunity to respond, though. We have read the conditions
and we are in agreement with the conditions. There was only one item that I did want to
mention to the Council and that's site specific 5-C. We have a detached meandering
Meridian City Council
November 9,2004
Page 21 of 39
five-foot sidewalk running along Locust Grove Road in our 25-foot landscape buffer.
According to staff, based on the current landscape ordinance, it states that the five-foot
sidewalk cannot be part of that 25 feet, you have to allocate at least 30 feet, because
you have to subtract the five feet. So, therefore, staff has stated to move the sidewalk
into the right of way or allocate additional room and I'd just like to mention that that's
kind of crazy and I know the highway district mentioned it to us the other day that they
are working with the cities to try to get them to count that, because we are creating a lot
of better pedestrian friendly environment if we can detach these sidewalks away from
the back of curb. This is going to be a five-lane highway in the future and if I can get it
in this 25 feet and meander it, it looks better, it's more pedestrian friendly. I don't know
if the Council has the ability to make any waivers or adjustments to the landscape
ordinance, but this is a situation that I hate to move that sidewalk up back into the right
of way. The other thing I'd like the Council to realize is this is not -- Locust Grove is not
in the 20-year plan. So, my client doesn't have to dedicate any right of way along
Locust Grove. We did have a condition that said to try to preserve it and the district -- or
the highway district will not purchase it, but I have convinced my client to go ahead and
dedicate that ten feet, which is, obviously, a donation to the highway district for that
future five lane highway, but, yet, we are being penalized by putting our sidewalk in our
25 foot landscape buffer. That's it. That's the only thing I got on that one.
De Weerd: Very nicely put, Becky. Thank you. Council, any questions? Okay.
Council -- or Mr. Attorney, do we have this -- does Council have the flexibility to accept
the sidewalk in the landscape plan?
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, before --
Nary: If Mrs. Canning wants to chime in, I certainly would be willing to hear that.
De Weerd: Anna.
Canning: We have used the alternative compliance section of the landscape ordinance
to negotiate alternative landscaping requirements. Technically, it's my approval, but, of
course, I would do the Council's bidding on this issue. But it is generally addressed
through alternative compliance and so the next question would be what is the
alternative. That's generally what I say when asked for alternative compliance, I say,
well, what is the city getting in return.
De Weerd: So, I guess Mrs. Canning has the final say, but you certainly can give your
direction.
Nary: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I think that the only consideration you
may want to put around that, as Mrs. Canning said, is what is the alternative that they
are complying with, because this is not an uncommon request from -- from different
developers to count that type of addition as part of landscaping and, generally, that has
not been approved. It has been on occasion. So, I think to help the planning staff, I
think if you want to do that, you certainly need to -- it would be helpful to give them
(
Meridian City Council
November 9,2004
Page 22 of 39
some direction as to what standards you want Mrs. Canning to apply in the future to
that.
De Weerd: Well -- and I guess just an observation with -- when Anna notes what do we
get in return, dedication of right of way is certainly nothing to blink at and appreciate that
as well. So, Council --
Rountree: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: I move that we approve Item No. 12 for the final plat for Brockton Subdivision
with the staff comments and the direction from Council that the sidewalk be approved
through alternative compliance available through the city landscaping ordinances based
on information provided by the applicant.
Bird: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. For clarification that information by the applicant would be the
dedication?
Rountree: Dedication of the additional right of way for future expansion of Locust
Grove.
De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. Any further discussion, Council? Okay. Mr. Berg.
Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Wardle, yea; Donnell, yea.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Item 13:

I-L zone for Montaaue-Sauriol. LLC by Montague-Sauriol, LLC - 1127
East Pine Avenue:
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you. Item 13 has also been requested, I believe, as well --
Bird: Yes.
De Weerd: -- to table. Mrs. Canning.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, one week will suffice for this tabling.
It was tabled at staff's request to reconsider some additional information given by the
applicant.

testimony, if you will, please, raise your right hand. Will the testimony you provide
tonight be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God? If so
answer I do.
(Affirmative answers.)
De Weerd: Thank you. And we still haven't changed that ordinance.
Nary: We are getting there.
Item 14:
Public Hearing: PP 04-032 Request for Preliminary Plat approval for 8
commercial building lots and 1 common lot on 3.86 acres in a C-G zone
for Central Vallev Corporate Park No.6. This is a re-subdivision of Lots
21 and 22, Block 2, Central Valley Corporate Park No. 6 by Steve Wensel
- 929 South Industry Way:
De Weerd: Okay. I will go ahead and open Item 14, Public Hearing PP 04-032 with
staff comments.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, this is a request for a preliminary plat
approval of an eight lot commercial subdivision on 3.86 acres. It's on an existing --
actually, two existing platted lots in Central Valley Corporate Park Subdivision and they
are shown with the hatch mark here. The site may be familiar to you as the one where
when you turn up that road there is the basketball court at the end of it. It's right across
from the Compass building. The property is currently zoned C-G and it is designated as
commercial on the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed site plan shows four structures,
one, two, three, four. And three of the structures would feature multiple zero lot line
units, so the lot line would run through the structure, but they would be on individual
lots. They are not proposing to condominium-ize the facility. The Planning and Zoning
Meridian City Council
November 9, 2004
Page 24 of 39
Commission is forwarding a recommendation for approval. They held a hearing on
October 7th and they did vote to approve with conditions. It was all ayes for both
applications. Actually, there is only application before you. The summary of the Public
Hearing, staff did the presentation, the applicant did not testify, so there was no -- no
testimony in favor or opposition or commenting. The key issues of discussion were the
existing pocket park and I wanted to explain this little pocket park a little bit. As this
application went through the City Council on the Planning and Zoning Commission, that
park was never shown. It was not a condition of approval, so it was not required that
the applicant construct that park. They just thought it might be a nice thing for the
people that were using the subdivision. So, they installed it after all approvals. So, their
previous approvals were in no way tied to this little pocket park that's on the site. So, a
lot of the discussion focused around that and they did also discuss staff's special
considerations and I'll go back and hit some of those. Just a moment. One was the
future parking. The buildings are proposed as what's called flex space these days,
which would be a combination of some office space, some retail show room space and
some warehouse space and if -- if every structure or everything were to go to a full
retail, they would not meet the parking requirements for our ordinance. Now, we don't
anticipate that in this area. A lot of the other areas -- uses in the area are a much larger
box -- I mean Winco and Home Depot are immediately to the west of this and, then, on
the east side we have some office spaces. So, we are not anticipating a full retail build
out of this property, but there were conditions raised that when those CZC or the tenant
improvements are approved, we do need to review some of those parking requirements
to insure that there is adequate parking in the future. Then, as I mentioned, the existing
park and the landscaping and saving the mature trees that are on the site were
discussed as well, in the staff report, as well as at the hearing. There were some
concerns about the trash container and its location within a Nampa-Meridian Irrigation
District easement and, then, the building setbacks. Some of the lot lines do not
accommodate a 15-foot front setback as required in the C-G. There is room for them to
move those lot lines out and meet those building setbacks as required. So, those
comments were incorporated into their recommendation. However, staff would ask that
the City Council clarify a couple of those. One is the park -- pocket park. Again, this --
the condition that -- site specific condition number 16 now states that the applicant
should submit details regarding the amenities planned in the proposed relocated park
and work with Meridian's parks department on mitigation and relocation of existing
trees. Again, this was not a required park, so staff recommends that the City Council
clarify that amenities are not actually required for this subdivision and, therefore, the
applicant would not need to post surety with the city engineer. They have proposed to
create a new open space on the site, so, again, that was kind of a voluntary basis. It
wasn't -- staff did not see it as a requirement for this subdivision. Secondly, staff
recommends that the City Council clarify that all the tree mitigation measures be
included on the final plat landscape plan. And, again, that's the existing trees around
the pocket park. The second outstanding issue before City Council was the trash
enclosure with regard to the Nampa-Meridian Irrigation District agreement. Site specific
condition number 17 requires the applicant to obtain a license agreement from
Nampa-Meridian Irrigation District to locate the trash container. Staff recommends that
the City Council clarify that its condition is not a plat condition, but a license agreement
Meridian City Council
November 9, 2004
Page 25 of 39
should be provided with the first certification of zoning compliance application submitted
with this application. So, it shouldn't be tied to the final plat, as much as it should the
certificate of zoning compliance. And with those -- those were the outstanding issues
and I will end staff's presentation and answer any questions you may have.
De Weerd: Okay. Council, any questions for staff at this time?
Bird: I have none, Mayor.
De Weerd: Okay. Do you have --
Rountree: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: The question came up about the pocket park, but my recollection -- this is
going to be a stretch back to the way back -- that might have been included because
some of the original discussions in this particular development were that those kinds of
things were to be included, but most specifically a network of pathways were to be
included in developments in this area to provide an opportunity for pedestrian traffic, as
well as leisure use of the employees that would be either in office space or in industrial
or commercial use. So, has that provision been accommodated? Is there a continuity
in the pathway system in and around this particular parcel?
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I know that when the property to the
north of this was developed as the parking lot for the -- now, wait a minute. That's not
right. I am not aware of any pathway system through here.
Rountree: Okay.
Canning: I did ask staff to double check that that pocket park was not a required
amenity and I know that they researched that issue. Council-member Rountree, I had
not heard the issue of the pathway raised. We can go back and review that and look
through those minutes, but I did specifically make sure that there was not a required
open space amenity and I would have thought that they would have found the
references to the pathway when they were looking for that, but I did not ask them to
specifically look for that.
Rountree: Thank you.
De Weerd: Well, Anna, I appreciate your sensitivity to -- to the open space, because
that -- whether it was required for that particular site or not, it's an amenity within the
park itself that I think the other parcels enjoy it and I appreciate the applicant is still
maintaining an open space amenity, so -- is the applicant here? Would you like to come
and comment? And I'm assuming that you were sworn in.

Wensel: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, my name is Steve Wensel, 7886
Joplin Road, Nampa, Idaho. 83687.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Wensel: In reference to specifically the open area amenity, we do feel like it's important
to have a place for people to relax. That park has been there for several years and we
have felt it was important, not only for our site, but for the entire development, to --
where we are trying to optimize the use of the site, still retain a -- kind of a welcoming
feel there and also break up the drive as you're coming across the front of the site. The
new plan for the park is not going to include a basketball court, but it is going to have
the walkways, we will have good nicely maintained landscaping and I think it will be a
nice continuation of what's planned to be happening there.
De Weerd: Thank you. Council, do you have any questions for the applicant?
Bird: I have none, Mayor.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you so much.
Wensel: Thank you.

De Weerd: Mr. Rountree. I'm sorry. Mr. Wardle.
Bird: Mr. Armstrong. Come on.
De Weerd: Oh, I'm sorry. I don't go that--
Wardle: Thank you, Madam Mayor. I move that we approve Item No. 15, PP 04-032,
preliminary plat for Central Valley Corporate Park No.6, to include the comments that
the amenities, which are going to be mitigated, are not required to post surety with the
city engineer, that the tree mitigation be included on the final landscape plat and that the
irrigation -- or the agreement with Nampa-Meridian Irrigation not become a plat
condition, but be required to be in place before a certificate of zoning compliance is
issued.
Donnell: I'll second that.
De Weerd: Okay. The motion is to approve Item 14 with the amendments as noted. Is
there any further discussion? Mr. Berg.
Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Wardle, yea; Donnell, yea.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Item 15:
Public Hearing: CUP 04-037 Request to modify the existing Conditional
Use Permit (Planned Development) approval for the construction of a 96-
unit apartment complex to a 65-unit assisted living retirement facility in an
R-40 zone for Devon Park II (Fairview Lakes) by Fairview Lakes, LLC -
824 East Fairview Avenue:
De Weerd: Thank you. Item 15 is the Public Hearing on CUP 04-037. I will open this
Public Hearing with staff comments.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, this is a request to modify the
Conditional Use Permit for Fairview Lakes, also known as Devon Park. As you know,
the property is located on the north side of Fairview Avenue and has been partially
developed, although it's not shown on this aerial. The portions to develop at this point
have been the -- the driveway is installed with the light at North Lakes Boulevard and,
Meridian City Council

then, also the Hastings building has gone in. The area in question is at the north end of
the site toward the back and as shown here in red. The northern portion of the property
was originally approved for 96 apartment units. I believe that's the correct number. The
applicant is now asking for a 40,000 square foot, 65 unit assisted living facility. The
master site plan shows two future phases, one for the independent senior living units
and, then, the other for the future building, which is on the west side of the property.
We have the detailed information, I believe, on the assisted living facility and the
independent living facilities and I may need some help from the applicant on this when
he comes up, but I believe the one that we don't have the detailed information for is the
building on the west. There was a lot of discussion and a lot of questions as this
application came through on how to best match up the independent living facilities and
the assisted living facilities with the classifications used in our zoning ordinance,
specifically the term nursing home, and that became quite a bit of the discussion at the
Planning and Zoning Commission and I will get to that in a moment. I will move forward
to the recommendation. I'm going to let the applicant provide a little more detail on the
actual design and layout of the project. I'm going to move forward to the
recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission, which was for approval.
They held their hearing on October 7th, 2004. The applicant Doug Tamura and Linda
Hines, the future operator of this facility, as well as John Bernard, a neighbor, testified in
favor of the application. No one testified in opposition. Staff commented and Brad
Hawkins-Clark was the presenter or the -- and had prepared the staff report. The key
issues of discussion by the Commission were the definition from the state of Idaho
versus the city regarding nursing home, retirement center, and assisted living. And also
the multi-use pathway location and the Jackson Drain tiling. As some of you may
remember, when the apartments came through, the Jackson Drain was left open and
used as an amenity for the property. They have now requested that that be tiled. Also,
on the original preliminary plat there was the multi-use pathway came up -- sorry.
Wrong way. Came up the east side of the property and, then, kind cut across
diagonally with the drain. The applicant is, actually, requesting to move it over and
follow North Lakes Boulevard up through and, then, it will cross over to the drain once
it's done. There has been concerns about the proximity of the pathway to the neighbors
on the east side of the property. This is the landscape plan. I will go through. There is
basically parking on the perimeter -- mostly the perimeter site and, then, these are the
independent units on the east side of the property and, then, this is the dependent living
-- or assisted living facility is kind of a box-shaped building with some open areas and
walking areas in between. Then, there was a question about the -- tied to the question
of the definitions was the question of the appropriate zoning for the assisted living and
retirement home. Throughout the testimony on the definitions, the Planning
Commission did make the determination that an assisted living facility was not the same
as a nursing home and, therefore, the rezone was not required at this time and so,
therefore, they deleted the condition related to that requirement and staff, given the
testimony provided that night, felt that that was a good determination. So, it's -- from
staffs perspective there are no outstanding issues before the City Council related to this
application. I do not believe I have a letter from the applicant regarding the conditions
of approval. With that, I will end staffs presentation.

De Weerd: Anna, while you have that plat up there, can you tell me -- you mentioned
that the pathway would go down the Boulevard, but where through this development
does it go, then?
Canning: It looks like it's coming right here right now and I do believe that they wanted
to relocate this portion, though, and we have two more applications in, Mayor, and I
know Mr. Tamura is frustrated by my inability to keep up with this project, but I'm not
sure if the relocation of this pedestrian path was included with this one or with one of the
two other applications we have in on the project and maybe they can provide some
information on that.
De Weerd: Certainly we have seen this application in many forms. So, would the
developer like to come forward?
Rountree: Are we getting close?
De Weerd: I think this might be it. If you will, please, state your name and address.
Tamura: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, my name is Doug Tamura. My office
is at 499 Main Street in Boise, Idaho.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Tamura: To start with, on the clarification -- could I have the large site plan? We have
been working with Brad Hawkins-Clark, but what happened is we were getting an
uproar from the neighborhood about trying to put this pathway in next to their homes
and so I called Brad up and I told him -- I says, you know, the thing that probably makes
sense, you know, one is I think the policy -- or the city's policy was to follow the Jackson
Drain, but since it was piped through this section of it and the only logical place to cross
Fairview Avenue was at the light that we installed, it seemed like the most -- the best
location was right here at Fairview Lakes. So, it follows along up Lakes Boulevard and,
then, we thought it would be nice to, you know, bring it in as a buffer in between the
single family residential and, then, through our apartment complex, then, when we
decided to go to the apartment -- the retirement center, I talked to Brad, because we
were in the process -- we had already constructed all of North Lakes Place up to this
cul-de-sac and we put in Carol Street in here. But we were just in the process of
installing all our infrastructure for the second phase of our office complex, so we
included a ten-foot wide sidewalk that's from here to here. I haven't been able to meet
with the parks department, because the only thing that we have deficient now is we
have got a ten-foot sidewalk from here to here and we have got a ten foot sidewalk
across here, but we have only got a five foot sidewalk that wraps around this cul-de-sac.
But from this point up we have got a ten foot sidewalk and our plan was to go ahead
and provide pedestrian ramps and a ten foot sidewalk that follows along the south
boundary of the retirement center and, then, up the west property line and have it exit
on the Jackson Drain frontage through here. So, our intent is to go ahead and continue
the ten foot pedestrian path. We have got an application submitted to Planning and
Meridian City Council
November 9, 2004
Page 30 of 39
Zoning that will be heard the first week in December that delineates the future building
and it shows the details of that pathway at that time. In regards to the retirement center,
the kind of the nitch or the black hole that we fell into with the Planning and Zoning was
the City of Meridian has a definition for what a nursing home is, but it doesn't have a
definition of what a retirement or assisted living is. For some reason the city requires
nursing homes to be in a lesser zone of an R-15. It allows a retirement center to be in a
higher zone of R-15 or R-40 and so part of what we are doing with this future is that the
future building will have been Alzheimer's -- a 30 unit Alzheimer's and so I'm working
with Brad, we are going to go ahead and down zone that whole property down to an R-
15. But the State of Idaho, under their license agreement for both nursing and assisted
living, has two separate definitions, so they have a license agreement for a nursing
home and they have another license agreement for assisted living, which we fell more
under the retirement center definition -- or retirement requirements of the City of
Meridian and that's what we worked out with the Planning and Zoning Commission.
De Weerd: Any questions for the applicant, Council?
Bird: I have none, Mayor.
De Weerd: Okay. r guess when you come through with your other application -- my
concern is we are starting to get a pathway system that is not clearly delineated and so I
would look forward to seeing how that can be clearly marked so people know it is a
public pathway and, hopefully, it will connect to something.
Tamura: We will meet with the parks department in our presentation to the City Council
on the second phase. The second phase also includes the second phase of our
commercial. We have got a bank that's going to go on the out pad and we have got
some additional retail that we are going to start on the east side of Lakes Place, so that
will probably start construction in this spring. We are hoping to start construction on a
portion of the assisted living this winter.
De Weerd: Thank you. And it looks beautiful right now.
Tamura: Well, thank you. You know, I guess the last -- in closing, we concur with all of
staff's findings of -- and conditions of approval. Thank you.
De Weerd: Thank you. Is there anyone else who would like to provide testimony on
this application?
Donnell: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes, Mrs. Donnell.
Donnell: I'd like to move to close the Public Hearing.
Bird: Second.

De Weerd: Okay. The motion is to close the Public Hearing on Item 15. All those in
favor say aye. All ayes. Motion carries.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Donnell: And, Madam Mayor, I'd like to move that we approve CUP 04-037 and to
modify the Conditional Use Permit.
Bird: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. The motion is to approve Item 15. Is there any further discussion?
Mr. Berg.
Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Wardle, yea; Donnell, yea.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Donnell: And just as a follow up, Madam Mayor, I hope that you get that done right
away. I have a mother-in-law who needs that assisted living soon.
Item 16:
Public Hearing: MI 04-014 Request to amend the Development
Agreement for Lot 1, Block 3, Parcel B of Resolution Subdivision No.1
by Lombard Conrad Architects - southeast corner of East Overland Road
and South Millenium Way:
De Weerd: Okay. Item 16 is Public Hearing MI 04-014. I will open the Public Hearing
with staff comments.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, this is a miscellaneous application to
amend the development agreement for Lot 1, Block 3, Parcel B, of Resolution Sub and
that is, to reference you, here is Overland Road and this is the entrance to the
subdivision. Parcel B is kind of the entry part -- parcel as you enter into the subdivision.
As you know, you have seen numerous conditional use permits on the large property to
the west where we have the offices and, then, the apartment buildings. The number of
dental offices -- they all congregated in this area. A bank. And, then, a request to
exclude this property from the further conditions of approval also came forward to
Council as a miscellaneous application. Then, this is the remaining vacant property, I
believe. You did previously approve a request not to require conditional use approval.
At that time staff asked if it were appropriate to amend the entire development
agreement and City Council wanted to do it on a case-by-case basis and that's why we
are here tonight. We did realize that our tracking system for our new lot split allowances
or reduction in platting requirements is not up to par. We could not find record of having
approved one on this one. We did, indeed, and we did get a copy of the record of
Meridian City Council
November 9, 2004
Page 32 of 39
survey, so there are some errors in the staff report regarding that. We do have a record
of su rvey that was recorded August 18th of this year. And, therefore, there is an item --
the last partial paragraph on page two of staffs application says if the Council approves
the proposed development agreement amendment, any new building on the subject
property will still be required to submit a re-subdivision application to divide the lot and
we can -- we can strike that requirement, they just will need to do a certificate of zoning
compliance application prior to any construction. Because this property is kind of the
key entry property to the subdivision, staff did not feel it was appropriate to waive the
conditional use requirement after many of the other properties had had to -- have gone
through that requirement. I do believe, though, that the applicant is prepared so show
you some -- some elevations of the buildings that are proposed on that property and
that would certainly be a consideration and wanting -- considering whether or not to
waive that requirement. The conditional use requirement has primarily been one where
you're looking at the site sign and the detailed elevations, compared to the land uses in
this case. We do have commercial uses, I believe, on the other side. It's all zoned
commercial north of -- on the north side of Overland and this is where the -- the new
theater complex is going north of this property as well. And with that -- I guess there is
one other little outstanding issue on this property and that's the high school is trying to
find a spot to locate their sign and I guess I'll bring this up now, so that we can have it
on the record or at least discuss it with you. There is an issue with off premise signs. I
know they want to go on this parcel B. We've had a difficult time finding a way to
approve it on the property, so they have also talked about deeding the land to the
school and whether or not to put it on an easement or actually own the property and
maybe this applicant can answer some of those questions as to what they are doing
and maybe Council can give some direction on the proposed sign and -- if that's
something that they want to see there. So, with that I will end staff's presentation.
That's an unrelated issue, the sign, but just so I have some discussion with you
regarding it, I thought I'd take the applicant.
De Weerd: Thank you. Any questions for staff at this time?
Bird: I have none, Mayor.
De Weerd: Okay. Would the applicant like to come forward? If you will, please, state
your name and address.
Burrows: Madam Mayor, Council Members, I am Sam Burrows with Lombard Conrad
Architects. My business is at 1221 Shoreline Lane in Boise. I thank you for giving me
the opportunity to talk before you. As staff mentioned, there were some other
applications requesting the -- excusing the applicants from the conditional use
requirement for the Resolution Business Park and that's what we are asking at this time.
We certainly can understand why staff had some reservation about this particular of
piece property, simply because it's on Millennium Way and Overland and so it's a very
prominent piece of property. We have had -- Lombard Conrad has had a history of
doing very quality projects with Meridian. The Meridian Health Plaza. The Spine
Institute. Your police station. And some of the credit unions. In fact, the credit union on
Meridian City Council
November 9,2004
Page 33 of 39
parcel A of this property, before it was split, is from us also. So, with that history, just to
give a little background, that our projects are -- we try to do, you know, very sensitive
projects for the environment that they are in. Like staff mentioned, it is zoned for this
use, so we felt the conditional use applicant was a little overkill, as well as tying up the
time of the Council in seeing that thing and doing a lot those issues several times over.
We have already met with ACHD, they have no problems with the layout that we have
proposed on that site. We have already met with Joe Silva of the fire department and
he has no problem with the layout that we have proposed on that site and it seems like
it just boils down to what the building is going to look like and so like staff mentioned, if
we could have an opportunity to just give you a brief overview of what the outside of the
building looks like, just so that -- so that you could see what -- could I have permission
to do that?
Canning: Sir, there is a microphone just to your right, if you want to use that, so we can
get you on record.
Burrows: Thank you. Of course, this building is -- we realize this is a very prominent
location for this building and we intend very much so to make it kind of a landmark at
that entryway. It does meet all the zoning requirements as far as the heights and the
square footage and the setbacks, so that's not an issue here. What was the issue was
simply what was the building going to look like and it is a two story building, it's going to
be medical office, so it's a B occupancy, and it's going to have some accents of stone
around the base, as you can see -- well, maybe -- maybe not from that distance, but
there is going to be a base of stone and, then, a two tone synthetic stucco finish. It's
going to have a mansard roof, which will hide all of the mechanical units on the roof,
similar to -- I don't know if you're familiar with the Meridian Health Plaza, but that is a
similar design that we used on that. The glass will have a subtle green tint to it and the
roofing material will be high profile asphalt shingle. So, mostly, in neutral tones, nothing
-- nothing too wild and crazy, but something that is just kind of soft and understated and
nice for that part of town. We don't think it's going to clash or conflict with anything else
that's going on there. So, with that, if you have any questions of me.
De Weerd: Okay. Council, any questions?
Bird: I have none, Mayor.
De Weerd: Shaun?
Wardle: Madam Mayor, just to clarify. You said the use was medical office and it does
fall within the --
Burrows: Yes. It's a business occupancy.
Wardle: Okay. Thank you.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Meridian City Council

Burrows: Thank you.
De Weerd: I did have one other person signed up to testify. Dave Roberts. State your
name and address.
Roberts: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, Dave Roberts, 5418 North Eagle
Road, Suite 160 in Boise.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Roberts: I just want to add to that. Staff did a pretty good job stating the case for the
applicant. One thing, just to make you aware of, is timing is very crucial on this deal for
the doctor. He's in a lease with St. Luke's at the St. Luke's Meridian Hospital, his lease
is up in October of '05. We are prepared moving forward, we have got the architects,
mechanical engineer hired, we are prepared to submit building permits to the city mid
December in anticipation of having a building permit received in February of '05, to have
this building completed in September, because it gives us about a month leeway for the
doctor, the construction, weather, things like that. If this doesn't happen, it's probably
not going to happen -- this building is not going to happen in the City of Meridian and he
will renew a lease with St. Luke's and be up for three as a tenant. So, I think it would be
a shame to miss this opportunity and if there is something that the Mayor or Council
Members would like to have the staff see more time, I would suggest maybe an
opportunity to go back to staff for a week and table it, discuss the CUP, the normal
process to discuss the elevation, any issues that staff would have with it, and come
back for approval for this process.
De Weerd: Thank you. Okay.
Donnell: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes, Mrs. Donnell.
Donnell: Just a question. Anna, you made some reference to a sign, the issue of a sign
going on that property.
Canning: Yes, Madam Mayor and -- you know, no one here may be able to answer that
question, but we did have a sign applicant come in saying that a portion of the property
was going to be dedicated by Idaho Central Credit Union and, you know, we can't just
create that parcel, so I suggested that they find out if it were going to be in an
easement, because we don't have a mechanism for dedicating it, other than doing
another lot split on this property that's already been split once. We are having a difficult
time finding a way to approve the sign in the first place and I didn't want to make it more
complicated by not having a legal piece of property to do it on.
De Weerd: It looks like Mr. Roberts might be able to answer it.
Meridian City Council
November 9, 2004
Page 35 of 39
Roberts: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, and Anna, I can give you a little bit of
insight on the sign. The Idaho Central Credit Union, which is the seller of this parcel to
our client, has been in discussions with Mountain View High School regarding an off-site
sign with a reader board and things like that. Our client has not agreed to anything
regarding that. We are in negotiation with Idaho Central Credit Union on where our
building is located and we think we have got that all completed and have really made no
decision whether we would approve ourselves of that sign on the property or not and I
guess I would suggest that if we did approve of that, then, we would, you know, come
back to the city and find a way to have that happen successfully if it's the city's choice to
do that. But as of now our client has not agreed with anything in regards to that sign.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Donnell: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes, Mrs. Donnell.
Donnell: Mr. Roberts, I was just going to suggest that if you had said that there would
be a sign in big neon that said go Mavericks, that you might get my vote, so --
Bird: And say go Warriors?
Donnell: It can that, too, by golly.
De Weerd: I don't know if go Warriors would really work over there.
Bird: Well, at least it would class it up.
De Weerd: Oh, great. Now that we have digressed. Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: Madam Mayor, I have a question of Anna. At first glance applicant mentioned
maybe looking at the elevations a little closer. At first glance it appears to me this is
something that would -- that has been approved in the City of Meridian. Is that your
opinion as well?
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, Council-member Wardle, it does
appear to be similar to the office buildings that have gone out there. Some have only
been one story. This appears to be two story. We haven't seen a site plan for it. I'm
assuming that they have the usual landscape provisions of -- we have actually seen
kind of more than necessary landscaping I think out there on this side of the property. I
don't know about necessarily on the apartment side, but I think on this side we have
seen a little more landscaping than is specifically required. You know, not to dwell on
the sign, but we have a sign application in our office asking for approval, so now I'm
wondering if we need to hold up on that or not, but--
Meridian City Council
November 9, 2004
Page 36 of 39
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I think there is some legal complications of putting a sign out there and I'd like Mr.
Nary to explain the situation of putting a sign out there.
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I guess I think what the quandary that
Mrs. Canning is talking about is that under our off-premise sign ordinance we are not --
we don't allow signs off -- offsite on someone else's property and I think that's the issue
that I think she was trying to address is that property going to remain in the ownership of
someone else or was that going to be dedicated to the school. I guess the only caution
I'd have is it really isn't part of this application and so -- and it hasn't been noticed. I
mean I think she was simply looking for guidance on what to do with that and it may
have an impact to this particular property. The other thing I guess I would just ask you
to consider in trying to formulate what you would like to do on this particular property on
granting that waiver they are requesting -- or the amendment to the development
agreement, to no longer require a conditional use, it's probably not unreasonable, as I
think what Mrs. Canning is saying is is that we haven't really received any site plan,
landscaping plan, anything else as an alternative, other than the request to waive that.
Now, maybe I misunderstood her and she could clarify that, but it seems to me that if
the Council wants to place some of those conditions as some condition precedent to
granting this amendment, you certainly could do that. I think you just want to make sure
you give staff some direction as to what to be put in the final order from you as to what
they would need to provide for this waiver. Or amendment. I'm sorry.
De Weerd: Thank you, Mr. Nary. Do you any comment, Anna?
Canning: No. He was correct. We just haven't received anything, but to follow up on
that Mr. Wardle's comment, I mean the elevations would appear to be nice, I would
agree. I mean if the Council wants to just approve it as is, it's -- having staff evaluate it
for zoning ordinance requirements, we will have to do that for the certificate of zoning
compliance anyway, so they will -- they will have to abide by that and I did not mention
in my previous discussion, but there are no conditions of approval with this, so that staff
would not have to go back and prepare findings or conditions of approval for you. It is
just kind of a thumbs up or thumbs down from the City Council on the matter.
De Weerd: Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: Madam Mayor, just to follow up. So, Anna, what you're saying is if we were to
approve this application, it would remove the conditional use, but it would not remove
any of the conditions of the site plan, our landscaping ordinance, and all of those things
that are already in place; is that --
Meridian City Council
November 9, 2004
Page 37 of 39
Canning: Correct.
Wardle: Okay.
Nary: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: But am I correct this is an amendment -- this is requesting an amendment to the
development agreement.
Canning: So, you wouldn't need an order. Amending the development agreement did
not require a Conditional Use Permit. We wouldn't necessarily need findings, is that--
Canning: Yes, sir. I'm sorry.
Nary: Is that right?
Canning: There is no findings Of conditions of approval.
Nary: Okay. Just an order.
Rountree: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: Just a point for clarification. Assuming we do move forward with this in a
positive way, what kind of language do we need to make sure that it's tied specifically to
this application? So, if for some feason it goes south, then, we have an amended
development agreement to a new owner.
Nary: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, Council-member Rountree, I think
simply the application is only referenced to that one parcel and I think the prior request
for amendment have been to different parcels. So, I think as long as it's tied just to that
parcel amendment or if you want to put a time limit that whatever action that they are
contemplating taking has to occur within a time period for that amendment and the
Council can revisit it or put some language like that, but it sounds to me like that's going
to happen. So. if you want it tied to the parcel, that's probably adequate to assure that it
doesn't apply to the entire property.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Council-member Rountree, did you want to tie it to these
elevations? Was that the issue you were getting at, because--
Rountree: Yes.
Meridian City Council
November 9, 2004
Page 38 of 39
Canning: Okay. And I do believe you could do with some statement that it be generally
consistent with the elevations provided at this hearing.
De Weerd: Does the applicant have any further comment?
Burrows: Madam Mayor and Council Members, yeah, our request in the miscellaneous
application was just for parcel B and we certainly understand that this is a case-by-case
situation and we are just asking for the waiver of that conditional use for parcel B only.
De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. Council?
Wardle: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Rountree. You know--
Rountree: Okay, Bob.
De Weerd: At least it's one of your names up here, okay? Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: I move to close the Public Hearing on Item No. 16.
Rountree: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. I think the motion was to close the Public Hearing on Item 16.
All those in favor say aye. All ayes. Motion carries.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
De Weerd: Okay. Mr. Wardle.
Rountree: Madam Mayor, this side of the bench Rountree would like to move that we
approve a request on Item 16 for amendment to the development agreement to remove
the requirement for conditional use for Lot 1, Block 3, parcel B, and that that be
conditioned on the fact the testimony provided by applicant and elevations and the
proposal as presented by the applicant be followed through with.
Bird: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. The motion is to approve Item 16 with the noted comments. Is there
any further discussion? Okay. Mr. Wardle, when you miss a meeting you lose your

EXHIBIT E
Annexation and Zoning Findings
Erstad Thornton Architects
(File AZ-04-026)
The City Council hereby approves the following analysis of required findings by staff:
According to Meridian City Code (MCC) 11-15-11, General Standards Applicable to
Zoning Amendments, both the Planning & Zoning Commission and Council are required
"to review the particular facts and circumstances of each proposed zoning amendment
in terms of the following standards and shall find adequate evidence answering the
following questions about the proposed zoning amendment. "
The following is the list of standards found in II-IS-II and analysis by staff:
A. Will the new zoning be harmonious with and in accordance with the
Comprehensive Plan and, if not, has there been an application for a
Comprehensive Plan amendment;
In Chapter VII of the Comprehensive Plan, 'commercial' is defined as areas
providing a full range of commercial and retail to serve area residents and visitors.
Staff finds that the requested zoning designation, C-G, is harmonious with and in
accordance with the 2002 Comprehensive Plan and the Future Land Use Map,
which designates the land to be "Commercial."
Staff also finds the following 2002 Comprehensive Plan text policies to be
applicable to this application (staff analysis is in italics below policy):
. "Pennit new. . . commercial development only where urban services can be
reasonably provided at the time of final approval and development is
contiguous to the City." (Chapter IV, Goal I, Obj. A, #6)
This parcel is contiguous to the City because it abuts the Records East
Subdivision (Wal-Mart) across Fairview Avenue. Sanitary sewer and water to
serve this development is currently available on the south side ofFairview
Avenue.
. "Require all commercial businesses to install and maintain landscaping."
(Chapter V, Goal III, Obj. D, #5)
Staff has included conditions for landscaping within this report.
. "Consider' Accommodating Bicycle and Pedestrian Travel: A Recommended
Approach' from the National Center for Bicycling and Walking in all land use
decisions." (Chapter VI, Goal II, Obj. A, #3)
This publication encourages jurisdictions to establish bikeway and walkway
facilities in new construction and reconstruction projects, in a manner that is
safe, accessible and convenient. The applicant will be required to construct 5-
foot wide sidewalks adjacent to Pairview Avenue and Venture Street as
conditions of approval.
. "Plan for a variety of commercial and retail opportunities within the
Impact Area." (Chapter VII, Goall, Objective B)
Staff believes that the proposed use, bank with drive-through, does contribute
to the variety of commercial uses in this area, as envisioned with the
Comprehensive Plan.
. "Require screening and buffering of commercial and industrial properties and
residential use with transitional zoning." (Chapter VII, Goal IV, Obj. A, #6)
While transitional zoning is not proposed (e.g. L-O), the applicant does show
a 25100t wide landscape buffer immediately adjacent to Venture Subdivision
to the north. The Landscape Ordinance requires a minimum buffer width of
25-feet between single:family residences and commercial uses. As long as the
landscape stripslbujfers are constructed in accordance with Meridian City
Code (M CC) 12-13, staff believes the intent of this policy is met with the
submitted site and landscape plan.
. "Where the project is developed adjacent to low or medium density residential
uses, a transitional use is encouraged" (Chapter VII, pg. 98)
There are two existing residences immediately adjacent to the property's
north boundary, which is approximately 3151eet long (east-west). On the
north end of the site, a transitional use is not proposed. Rather, a landscape
buffer is proposed, as discussed above. Because this site is only 230:feet deep
(north-south), fitting a transitional use between the proposed bank and the
single-family homes would be difJicult. Staff finds that the separation shown
meets the intent of a transitional use, as long as appropriate screening and
noise and light mitigation measures are taken. The Commission and Council
should review the seoaration and compatibility of the prooosed commercial
users) with Venture Subdivision to the north.
B. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be rezoned in the
future;
Concurrent with the annexation and zoning application, the applicant has
submitted a conditional use permit for a bank with a drive-through on the subject
site (CDP-04-035). Staff does not anticipate that the applicant plans to rezone the
subject property in the future ifthe accompanying CUP application for a bank
with a drive-tlrrough is approved.
C. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be developed in the
fashion that would be allowed under the new zoning -for example, a
residential area turning into a commercial area by means of conditional use
permits;
Staff finds that the proposed bank building is a permitted use within the requested
C-G zone. However, according to City Code the drive-through use requires
conditional use permit approval. The applicant is proposing to utilize
approximately two-thirds ofthe existing parcel for the proposed bank. There is no
use proposed use on the remaining 0.62 acres, eastern portion of the parcel. Future
conditional use permit approval may be required, depending on the use on this
undeveloped portion ofthe site. See Special Consideration #1 below for further
analysis of conditional use permit approval requirements on the undeveloped
portion of this site.
D. Has there been a change in the area or adjacent areas which may dictate that
the area should be rezoned. For example, have the streets been widened, new
railroad access been developed or planned or adjacent area being developed
in a fashion similar to the proposed rezone area;
Surrounding uses include rural residential properties to the north,
retaillcommercial uses to the east, a cemetery to the south, and a turf fann to the
west. There has been recent retaillrestaurant/commercial/office development up
and down this portion of Fairview Avenue. Additionally, Fairview Avenue is
currently improved with 5-lanes. This site is designated 'Commercial' on the
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map. Stafffinds that the requested zoning
designation of C-G is harmonious with the existing and planned adjacent
developments.
E. Will the proposed uses be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to
be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing or intended
character of the general vicinity and that such use will not change the
essential character of the same area;
Staff finds that the proposed commercial zone/use will change the existing
character of the area, but that the proposed zone and future uses should 'be
hannonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing and intended
character of the area. Staff finds that any future uses, if designed, constructed and
operated in accordance with adopted city ordinances, should be harmonious and
appropriate in appearance with the intended character of the vicinity.
F. Will the proposed uses not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future
neighboring uses;
To mitigate the possible noise and visual disturbances ofthe proposed
commercial use, the applicant is proposing to construct a 25-foot wide landscape
buffer along the entire north property line. Said landscape buffer has dense trees
and shrubs. Staff is supportive of the proposed landscape buffer along the north
property line.
There are two potential disturbauces/hazards that staff can envision if the
atmexation and zoning and concurrent CUP applications are approved. The first
potential disturbance is the potential hours of operation of the bank. Ifthe bank is
operating during regular business hours then staff does not believe that the
proposed use will be disturbing to the existing residential uses.
The second potential disturbance/hazard has to do with vehicular access to and
from this site. The lack of any proposed access to this site was a concern of the
City in denying the annexation request in 2002 (the subject applicant is proposing
two access points onto Venture Street and one access point onto Fairview Avenue
with CUP-04-035). During the hearings for the previous aooexation request, the
neighbors had differing views on access. Some neighbors did not want this site to
take access to Venture Street because it would increase their time to get into and
out of their development and because there are kids that play in Venture Street.
Other neighbors and ACHD did not want access to be granted to Fairview Avenue
because adding access points to arterials contributes to the inefficient movement
of cars on the roadway.
ACHD considers access points in their analysis of projects and has prepared a
staff report that prohibits access to Fairview Avenue. In order to have access to
Fairview Avenue, the applicant must receive a modification of ACHD policy. The
ACHD Board of Commissioners is scheduled to hear this item on October 6,
2004. Staff supports ACHD staff's recommendation, prohibiting direct lot access
to Fairview Avenue, and further recommends that the applicant contact Mr.
Shuerman to the east to see ifhe would be willing to share his access to Fairview
Avenue with the subject property. Staff finds that if cross access between the
subject property and the property to the east is constructed as well as the proposed
accesses to Venture Street, the proposed use (access) should not be hazardous to
neighboring uses. However, staff does find that increasing the traffic volumes on
Venture Street will be an inconvenience to the existing residence as Venture
Street is the only way to get into and out of the subdivision. The Commission and
Council should rely on public testimony to determine whether or not the potential
disturbances will substantially affect the existing or future neighboring uses.
As noted above, there is approximately 0.62 acres on the eastern side ofthis site
that the applicant is not proposing to develop at this time. In order for staff to
ensure that this future use is not hazardous or disturbing to the existing and future
neighboring uses, staff is recommending that all future uses be required to obtain
CUP approval. See Special Consideration #1 below for further information.
G. Will the area be served adequately by essential public facilities and services
such as highways, streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures,
refuse disposal, water, sewer or that the person responsible for the
establishment of proposed zoning amendment shall be able to provide
adequately any of such services;
Sanitary sewer and water to serve this development is currently available on the
south side of Fairview Avenue. The applicant shall be responsible for the
extension of utilities to and through this proposed development. Sizing and
routing shall be coordinated with the Public Works Department.
The applicant and/or future property owners will be required to pay park and
highway impact fees as well as construct on-site storm water drainage facilities.
The ACHD Board of Commissioners is scheduled to hear this development
proposal on October 6, 2004. Because vehicular access to this site is currently
provided from substandard streets (Venture and Fairview), ACHD is requiring the
applicant to install improvements such as curb, gutter, sidewalk, and pavement
widening on Venture Avenue and sidewalk on Fairview Avenue. Please review
the ACHD report for additional information regarding this finding.
On September 10, 2004, a joint agency/department comments meeting was held
with representatives of key service providers to this property. Based on the joint
agency/department meeting and other comments received from
agencies/departments, staff finds that the public services listed above can be made
available to accommodate the -proposed development. The Commission and
Council should reference any written and/or verbal testimony submitted by any
public service provider, regarding their ability to adequately service this project.
H. Will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public
facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of
the community;
If approved, the developer will be financing the extension of sewer, water, local
street infrastructure, utilities and irrigation services to serve the project. The
primary public costs to serve the future residents will be fire and police facilities
and services. Staff finds there will not be excessive additional requirements at
public cost and that the proposed zoning and subsequent development will not be
detrimental to the community's economic welfare.
I. Will the proposed uses not involve uses, activities, processes, materials,
equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any
persons, property or the general welfare by reason of excessive production of
traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors;
Staff recognizes that traffic and noise will increase with the approval of this
development; however, staff does not believe that the amount generated will be
detrimental to the general welfare of the public. Staff does not anticipate the
proposed annexation and subsequent uses will create excessive noise, smoke,
fumes, glare, or odors. Staff finds that the proposed commercial zoning/use will
not be detrimental to people, property or the general welfare of the area.
J. Will the area have vehicular approaches to the property which shall be so
designed as not to create an interference with traffic on surrounding public
streets;
The applicant is proposing to construct one new driveway to Fairview Avenue
and two new driveways to Venture Street. ACHD considers vehicular approaches
in their analysis ofprojects and has prepared a staffreport that prohibits access to
Fairview Avenue. In order to have access to Fairview Avenue, the applicant must
receive a modification of ACHD policy from the Board of Commissioners. The
ACHD Board of Commissioners is scheduled to hear this item on October 6,
2004.
The proposed access points to Venture Street meet ACHD policy for location.
Staff finds that the least amount ofinterference to traffic on the surrounding
public streets will occur if cross access between the subject property and the
property to the east (Shuerman) is constructed, and the proposed access points to
Venture Street are constructed. However, staff does find that increasing the traffic
volumes on Venture Street will be an inconvenience to the existing residence as
Venture Street is the only way to get into and out of the subdivision.
The proposed site plan shows three drive-through windows with each lane able to
stack approximately 3 to 4 cars. Staffis supportive of the proposed drive-through
lanes as they should not interfere with traffic on Venture Street or Fairview
Avenue.
The Commission and Council should rely on public testimony, ACHD's
Commission action, and staff's analysis when determining whether or not the
vehicular approaches and drive-through lanes will create an interference with
traffic on surrounding public streets.
K. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic
feature of major importance; and
Staff is unaware of any natural of scenic features of major importance on this site
and finds that no natural or scenic features of major importance will be lost or
damaged by approving the annexation and zoning application. Any existing trees
larger than 4" caliper that are removed shall be mitigated for, per the Landscape
Ordinance.
L. Is the proposed zoning amendment in the best interest of the City of
Meridian. (Ord. 592, 11-17-1992)"
Staff finds that all essential services are available or will be provided by the
developer to the subject property and will not require unreasonable expenditure of
public funds. The applicant is proposing to develop the land in substantial
compliance with the City's comprehensive plan and development ordinances. The
land to the southwest of the subject property was previously annexed into the City
and this is a logical expansion of existing zoning and land uses. In accordance
with the findings listed above, staff finds that the annexation/zoning of this
property would be in the best interest of the City.
EXHIBIT F
Conditional Use Permit Findings
Mountain West Bank
(File CUP-04-035)
The City Council hereby approves the following analysis of required findings by staff:
The Commission and Council shall review the particular facts and circumstances of each
proposed conditional use in terms of the following and may approve a conditional use
permit if they shall find evidence presented at the hearing(s) is adequate to establish (11-
17-3):
A. That the site is large enough to accommodate the proposed use and all yards,
open spaces, parking, landscaping and other features as may be required by
this ordinance;
Parking stalls are required at the rate of one space per 200 s.f. of gross floor area
for banks (MCC 11-13-5.B). Thirty-four parking spaces are proposed; twenty-
tlrree parking spaces are required (minimum). Staff finds that the project should
have ample parking.
The proposed site plan shows three drive-through windows with each lane able to
stack approximately 3 to 4 cars. Staffis supportive of the proposed drive-through
lanes as they should not interfere with internal traffic flows or traffic flows on
Venture Street.
All proposed setbacks and landscaping meet the minimum standards outlined in
Titles 11 and 12, Meridian City Code.
Staff finds that the subject property is large enough to accommodate the required
yards (setbacks), open spaces, parking, landscaping and other features required by
the ordinance.
B. That the proposed use and development plan will be harmonious with the
Meridian Comprehensive Plan and in accordance with the requirements of
this Ordinance;
The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates the property as
"CommerciaL" MCC 11-8-1, Schedule of Use Control, allows for drive-in
establislnnents through the conditional use process in the requested C-G zone.
Staff finds that the requested bank use is in compliance with the Comprehensive
Plan Future Land Use Map and that if approved as a CUP the project will be in
compliance with MCC. Please see the findings in section "A" ofthe Annexation
and Zoning portion of this report for further analysis.
C. That the design, construction, operation, and maintenance will be compatible

portion ofthis report.
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 one new driveway to Fairview Avenue
and two new driveways to Venture Street. ACHD considers vehicular approaches
in their analysis of projects and has prepared a staff report that prohibits access to
Fairview Avenue. In order to have access to Fairview Avenue, the applicant must
receive a modification of ACHD policy from the Board of Commissioners. The
ACHD Board of Commissioners is scheduled to hear this item on October 6,
2004.
The proposed site plan shows three drive-through windows with each lane able to
stack approximately 3 to 4 cars. The drive-through lanes are located on the west
side of the proposed bank building. Staff is supportive of the proposed drive-
through lanes as they should not interfere with internal traffic flow or traffic flows
on the abutting roadways.
The Commission and Council should rely on public testimony, ACHD
Commission action, and staffs analysis when determining whether or not the
vehicular approaches create an interference with traffic on surrounding public
streets. Please see the Findings in section "J" in the Annexation and Zoning
portion of this report for more analysis.
I. That the proposed use will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a

EXHIBIT E
Annexation and Zoning Findings
Erstad Thornton Architects
(File AZ-04-026)
The City Council hereby approves the following analysis of required findings by staff:
According to Meridian City Code (MCC) 11-15-11, General Standards Applicable to
Zoning Amendments, both the Planning & Zoning Commission and Council are required
Uto review the particular facts and circumstances of each proposed zoning amendment
in terms of the following standards and shall find adequate evidence answering the
following questions about the proposed zoning amendment. "
The following is the list of standards found in 11-15-11 and analysis by staff:
A. Will the new zoning be harmonious with and in accordance with the
Comprehensive Plan and, if not, has there been an application for a
Comprehensive Plan amendment;
In Chapter VII of the Comprehensive Plan, 'commercial' is defined as areas
providing a full range of commercial and retail to serve area residents and visitors.
Staff finds that the requested zoning designation, C-G, is harmonious with and in
accordance with the 2002 Comprehensive Plan and the Future Land Use Map,
which designates the land to be "Commercial."
Staff also finds the following 2002 Comprehensive Plan text policies to be
applicable to this application (staff analysis is in italics below policy):
. "Permit new. . . commercial development only where urban services can be
reasonably provided at the time offinal approval and development is
contiguous to the City." (Chapter IV, Goal I, Obj. A, #6)
This parcel is contiguous to the City because it abuts the Records East
Subdivision (Wal-Mart) across Fairview Avenue. Sanitary sewer and water to
serve this development is currently available on the south side of Fairview
Avenue.
. "Require all commercial businesses to install and maintain landscaping."
(Chapter V, Goal III, Obj. D, #5)
Staff has included conditions for landscaping within this report.
. "Consider' Accommodating Bicycle and Pedestrian Travel: A Recommended
Approach' from the National Center for Bicycling and Walking in all land use
decisions." (Chapter VI, Goal II, Obj. A, #3)
This publication encourages jurisdictions to establish bikeway and walkway
facilities in new construction and reconstruction projects, in a manner that is
safe, accessible and convenient. The applicant will be required to construct 5-
foot wide sidewalks adjacent to Fairview Avenue and Venture Street as
conditions of approval.
. "Plan for a variety of commercial and retail opportunities within the
Impact Area." (Chapter VII, Goall, Objective B)
Staff believes that the proposed use, bank with drive-through, does contribute
to the variety of commercial uses in this area, as envisioned with the
Comprehensive Plan.
. "Require screening and buffering of commercial and industrial properties and
residential use with transitional zoning." (Chapter VII, Goal IV, Obj. A, #6)
While transitional zoning is not proposed (e.g. L-O), the applicant does show
a 25-foot wide landscape bufftr immediately adjacent to Venture Subdivision
to the north. The Landscape Ordinance requires a minimum buffer width of
25-feet between single-family residences and commercial uses. As long as the
landscape strips/buffers are constructed in accordance with Meridian City
Code (MCC) 12-13, staffbelieves the intent of this policy is met with the
submitted site and landscape plan.
. "Where the project is developed adjacent to low or medium density residential
uses, a transitional use is encouraged" (Chapter VII, pg. 98)
There are two existing residences immediately adjacent to the property's
north boundary, which is approximately 315-feet long (east-west). On the
north end of the site, a transitional use is not proposed. Rather, a landscape
buffer is proposed, as discussed above. Because this site is only 230-feet deep
(north~south), fitting a transitional use between the proposed bank and the
single-family homes would be difficult. Staff finds that the separation shown
meets the intent of a transitional use, as long as appropriate screening and
noise and light mitigation measures are taken. The Commission and Council
should review the seoaration and comoatibility of the proposed commercial
users) with Venture Subdivision to the north.
B. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be rezoned in the
future;
Concurrent with the annexation and zoning application, the applicant has
submitted a conditional use permit for a bank with a drive-through on the subject
site (CUP~04-035). Staff does not anticipate that the applicant plans to rezone the
subject property in the future if the accompanying CUP application for a bank
with a drive-through is approved.
C. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be developed in the
fashion that would be allowed under the new zoning -for example, a
residential area turning into a commercial area by means of conditional use
permits;
Staff finds that the proposed bank building is a permitted use within the requested
C-G zone. However, according to City Code the drive~through use requires
conditional use permit approval. The applicant is proposing to utilize
approximately two-thirds of the existing parcel for the proposed bank. There is no
use proposed use on the remaining 0.62 acres~ eastern portion of the parce1. Future
conditional use permit approval may be required, depending on the use on this
undeveloped portion of the site. See Special Consideration #1 below for further
analysis of conditional use permit approval requirements on the undeveloped
portion of this site.
D. Has there been a change in the area or adjacent areas which may dictate that
the area should be rezoned. For example, have the streets been widened, new
railroad access been developed or planned or adjacent area being developed
in a fashion similar to the proposed rezone area;
Surrounding uses include rural residential properties to the north,
retail/commercial uses to the east, a cemetery to the south, and a turf farm to the
west. There has been recent retail/restaurantlcommercialloffice development up
and down this portion ofFairview A venue. Additionally, Fairview Avenue is
currently improved with 5-lanes. This site is designated 'Commercial' on the
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map. Staff finds that the requested zoning
designation of C-G is harmonious with the existing and planned adj acent
developments.
E. Will the proposed uses be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to
be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing or intended
character of the general vicinity and that such use will not change the
essential character of the same area;
Staff finds that the proposed commercial zone/use will change the existing
character of the area, but that the proposed zone and future uses should be
harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing and intended
character of the area. Staff finds that any future uses, if designed, constructed and
operated in accordance with adopted city ordinances, should be harmonious and
appropriate in appearance with the intended character of the vicinity.
F. Will the proposed uses not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future
neighboring uses;
To mitigate the possible noise and visual disturbances of the proposed
commercial use, the applicant is proposing to construct a 25-foot wide landscape
buffer along the entire north property line. Said landscape buffer has dense trees
and shrubs. Staff is supportive of the proposed landscape buffer along the north
property line.
There are two potential disturbanceslhazards that staff can envision if the
annexation and zoning and concurrent CUP applications are approved. The first
potential disturbance is the potential hours of operation of the bank. If the bank is
operating during regular business hours then staff does not believe that the
proposed use will be disturbing to the existing residential uses.
The second potential disturbance/hazard has to do with vehicular access to and
from this site. The lack of any proposed access to this site was a concern of the
City in denying the annexation request in 2002 (the subject applicant is proposing
two access points onto Venture Street and one access point onto Fairview Avenue
with CUP-04-035). During the hearings for the previous annexation request, the
neighbors had differing views on access. Some neighbors did not want this site to
take access to Venture Street because it would increase their time to get into and
out oftheir development and because there are kids that play in Venture Street.
Other neighbors and ACHD did not want access to be granted to Fairview Avenue
because adding access points to arterials contributes to the inefficient movement
of cars on the roadway.
ACHD considers access points in their analysis of projects and has prepared a
staff report that prohibits access to Fairview Avenue. In order to have access to
Fairview A venue, the applicant must receive a modification of ACHD policy. The
ACHD Board of Commissioners is scheduled to hear this item on October 6,
2004. Staff supports ACHD staffs recommendation, prohibiting direct lot access
to Fairview Avenue, and further recommends that the applicant contact Mr.
Shuerman to the east to see ifhe would be willing to share his access to Fairview
Avenue with the subject property. Staff finds that if cross access between the
subject property and the property to the east is constructed as well as the proposed
accesses to Venture Street, the proposed use (access) should not be hazardous to
neighboring uses. However, staff does find that increasing the traffic volumes on
Venture Street will be an inconvenience to the existing residence as Venture
Street is the only way to get into and out of the subdivision. The Commission and
Council should rely on public testimony to determine whether or not the potential
disturbances will substantially affect the existing or future neighboring uses.
As noted above, there is approximately 0.62 acres on the eastern side of this site
that the applicant is not proposing to develop at this time. In order for staff to
ensure that this future use is not hazardous or disturbing to the existing and future
neighboring uses, staff is recommending that all future uses be required to obtain
CUP approval. See Special Consideration #1 below for further information.
G. Will the area be served adequately by essential public facilities and services
such as highways, streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures,
refuse disposal, water, sewer or that the person responsible for the
establishment of proposed zoning amendment shall be able to provide
adequately any of such services;
Sanitary sewer and water to serve this development is currently available on the
south side of Fairview Avenue. The applicant shall be responsible for the
extension of utilities to and through this proposed development. Sizing and
routing shall be coordinated with the Public Works Department.
The applicant and/or future property owners will be required to pay park and
highway impact fees as well as construct on-site storm water drainage facilities.
The ACHD Board of Commissioners is scheduled to hear this development
proposal on October 6,2004. Because vehicular access to this site is currently
provided from substandard streets (Venture and Fairview), ACHD is requiring the
applicant to install improvements such as curb, gutter, sidewalk, and pavement
widening on Venture Avenue and sidewalk on Fairview Avenue. Please review
the ACHD report for additional information regarding this finding.
On September 10, 2004, a joint agency/department comments meeting was held
with representatives of key service providers to this property. Based on the joint
agency/department meeting and other comments received from
agencies/departments, staff finds that the public services listed above can be made
available to accommodate the proposed development. The Commission and
Council should reference any written and/or verbal testimony submitted by any
public service provider, regarding their ability to adequately service this project.
H. Will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public
facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of
the community;
If approved, the developer will be financing the extension of sewer, water, local
street infrastructure, utilities and irrigation services to serve the project. The
primary public costs to serve the future residents will be fire and police facilities
and services. Staff finds there will not be excessive additional requirements at
public cost and that the proposed zoning and subsequent development will not be
detrimental to the community's economic welfare.
I. Will the proposed uses not involve uses, activities, processes, materials,
equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any
persons, property or the general welfare by reason of excessive production of
traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors;
Staff recognizes that traffic and noise will increase with the approval of this
development; however, staff does not believe that the amount generated will be
detrimental to the general welfare ofthe public. Staff does not anticipate the
proposed annexation and subsequent uses will create excessive noise, smoke,
fumes, glare, or odors. Staff finds that the proposed commercial zoning/use will
not be detrimental to people, property or the general welfare of the area.
J. Will the area have vehicular approaches to the property which shall be so
designed as not to create an interference with traffic on surrounding public
streets;
The applicant is proposing to construct one new driveway to Fairview Avenue
and two new driveways to Venture Street. ACHD considers vehicular approaches
in their analysis of projects and has prepared a staff report that prohibits access to
Fairview Avenue. In order to have access to Fairview Avenue, the applicant must
receive a modification of ACHD policy from the Board of Commissioners. The
ACHD Board of Commissioners is scheduled to hear this item on October 6,
2004.
The proposed access points to Venture Street meet ACHD policy for location.
Staff finds that the least amount of interference to traffic on the surrounding
public streets will occur if cross access between the subject property and the
property to the east (Shuerman) is constructed, and the proposed access points to
Venture Street are constructed. However, staff does find that increasing the traffic
volumes on Venture Street will be an inconvenience to the existing residence as
Venture Street is the only way to get into and out ofthe subdivision.
The proposed site plan shows three drive-through windows with each lane able to
stack approximately 3 to 4 cars. Staffis supportive of the proposed drive-through
lanes as they should not interfere with traffic on Venture Street or Fairview
A venue.
The Commission and Council should rely on public testimony, ACHD's
Commission action, and staffs analysis when determining whether or not the
vehicular approaches and drive-through lanes will create an interference with
traffic on surrounding public streets.
K. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic
feature of major importance; and
Staff is unaware of any natural of scenic features of major importance on this site
and finds that no natural or scenic features of major importance will be lost or
damaged by approving the annexation and zoning application. Any existing trees
larger than 4" caliper that are removed shall be mitigated for, per the Landscape
Ordinance.
L. Is the proposed zoning amendment in the best interest of the City of
Meridian. (Ord. 592,11-17-1992)"
Staff finds that all essential services are available or will be provided by the
developer to the subject property and will not require unreasonable expenditure of
public funds. The applicant is proposing to develop the land in substantial
compliance with the City's comprehensive plan and development ordinances. The
land to the southwest of the subject property was previously annexed into the City
and this is a logical expansion of existing zoning and land uses. In accordance
with the findings listed above, stafffinds that the annexation/zoning ofthis
property would be in the best interest of the City.
EXHIBIT F

Mountain West Bank
(File CUP-04-035)

three parking spaces are required (minimum). Staff finds that the project should
have ample parking.
The proposed site plan shows three drive-through windows with each lane able to
stack approximately 3 to 4 cars. Staff is supportive of the proposed drive-through

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;

establishments through the conditional use process in the requested C-G zone.
Stafffinds that the requested bank use is in compliance with the Comprehensive
Plan Future Land Use Map and that if approved as a CUP the project will be in
compliance with MCC. Please see the findings in section "A" of the Annexation
and Zoning portion of this report for further analysis.

Please see the findings in section "E" of the Annexation and Zoning portion of
this report.
D. That the proposed use, if it complies with all conditions of the approval
imposed, will not adversely affect other property in the vicinity;

the establishment of proposed conditional use shaU be able to provide
adequately any such services;

public cost for public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the
economic welfare of the community;
Please see the findings in sections "0", "H" and "I" of the Annexation and
Zoning pOliion of this report.
G. That the proposed use will not involve activities or processes, materials,
equipment, and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any
persons, property, or general welfare by reason of excessive production of
traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors;
Please see the findings in sections "I" and "J" of the Annexation and Zoning
portion of this report.
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 one new driveway to Fairview A venue
and two new driveways to Venture Street. ACHD considers vehicular approaches
in their analysis of projects and has prepared a staff report that prohibits access to
Fairview Avenue. In order to have access to Fairview Avenue, the applicant must
receive a modification of ACHD policy from the Board of Commissioners. The
ACHD Board of Commissioners is scheduled to hear tills item on October 6,
2004.
The proposed site plan shows three drive-through windows with each lane able to
stack approximately 3 to 4 cars. The drive-through lanes are located on the west
side of the proposed bank building. Staffis supportive ofthe proposed drive-
through lanes as they should not interfere with internal traffic flow or traffic flows
on the abutting roadways.
The Commission and Council should rely on public testimony, ACHD
Commission action, and staff's analysis when determining whether or not the
vehicular approaches create an interference with traffic on surrounding public
streets. Please see the Findings in section "J" in the Annexation and Zoning
portion of this report for more analysis.
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.

damaged by approving the annexation and zoning application. Any existing trees
larger than 4" caliper that are removed shall be mitigated for, per the Landscape

Dear Mayor de Weerd and City Councilors:
Thank you for your decision last evening to hear the applicant's apfeal on the above-
referenced applications. After the City Council announced the November 30t hearing date and I
had left the hearing room., I remembered that I have scheduled a family vacation for that week_
My wife and I are plarming to visit our two college-age children., both of whom are studying this
semester on exchange programs in Great Britain.
For that reason, I would respectfully request the City Council to grant a continuance of
the appeal hearing until the next available date and agenda after November 30th, J spoke with the
City Attorney this afternoon, who told me that there ,",ill be no meeting on December 7t\ so I
understand the next possible date would be December 14th. depending on other agenda items
already scheduled. If the City Council grants this continuance, Vision First would offer to send
out a mailing to all of the neighbors who signed up to speak last evening notifying them of the
date change.
Thank you for considering this request.
