Item 4.
Request for Sewer Service by Calvary Chapel Treasure Vallev:
Watson: Thank you President Bird, Council members and Mayor and others.
This request came to Gary in August. He spoke with Pastor Zackman from
Calvary Chapel Treasure Valley. I haven't spoken with him ever. His request
was that he be allowed or at least the City of Meridian not object to him getting
sewer service from Boise City. The map on the screen, although it's somewhat
faded, does show their proposed site down here, south of Lake Hazel Road
about a half mile west of Cloverdale Road. There is one point in Gary's memo to
you that needs to be clarified. I think Gary was under the impression that this
site was within the area of impact and it's not. The area of impact boundary is a
quarter mile south of Amity and this side is another % of a mile south of that.
This is in our referral area and it is included in the sewer master plan as you have
heard me say before, our sewer master plan simply extended as far as it could
until it ran out of depth or ran into Boise City limits. So, we do have a master
plan trunk way up here at the top end. The likelihood of getting the sewer
extended hefe would not be too great, other than the fact that it ultimately needs
to be diverted into the Black Cat Trunk, which as we all know is probably some
time away, at least on the south side of the interstate. It appears from Pastor
Zackman's letter that the motivation behind discharging to Boise City father than
an onsite septic system is simply cost. Although, he doesn't specify what those
costs are other than to say he would save thousands of dollars. Gary did speak
with Boise City Public Works and they verified that they could accept this sewage
discharge into their system. Really, I think the only question before Council is
what kind of comment we should make to Boise City and two, if we don't object,
whether to enter into some agreement whereby once the sewer gets there in the
future, he is required to connect to City of Meridian sewer. Those are the two
issues, at least that I can glean from Gary's memo. I'll be happy to answer any
questions if you have those.
Bird: Council, any questions for Brad?
De Weerd: Mr. Vice-President.
Bird: Madame Mayor.
De Weerd: Just to also say that Calvary Chapel has indicated that they would
like to stay in Meridian and so when we are there, they would readily annex in, so
they really would prefer the Meridian - continued the Meridian address. Is Boise
okay with that kind of arrangement, is the question I have for Brad?
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
October 5, 2004
Page 3 of 11
Watson: Madame Mayor. I can't tell from Gary's letter if they would be okay with
a temporary arrangement or not. They have been pretty agreeable to most of -
we haven't had any of these agreements actually take place, but they have been
discussed with their staff. Again, these are two engineering staff talking together.
We don't object to some of the things that elected officials might, but we could
make that comment that it's a temporary interim connection and that they would
need to put together an agreement to sewer to Meridian and annex when it's
available and they are contiguous. I expect that that would be quite a few years
in the future.
Bird: Any other questions?
Rountree: I have none.
Bird: I have got a question for the legal angle here. What do we do as far as
getting a letter - just a letter stating it's okay with us as long as you come back in
and --?
Nary: Madame Mayor, members of the Council, Council member Bird the issue
really before you is what do you want to do to preserve that referral error for the
potential future that you may expand the impact area to meet that particular site.
I think what Mr. Watson is saying is that there does not occur to be in the
immediate future, they are certainly willing to sign an agreement of some sort or
some acknowledgement - they could probably do the same by letter. I am not
sure, 15 or 20 years from now when that's eligible to be in the city area of impact.
It's going to really be a question. I think the issue is going to be is if you allow
this particular site to simply go without any acknowledgement that they would
prefer to be in the City of Meridian when it's adjacent they would hook to your
sewer system, then the other surrounding property owners also may opt one way
or the other and then that may impact on whether or not you expand your impact
5, 10, 15 years from now. I think we could certainly prepare an agreement with
them. The enforceability of it 15 years from now may not be much. If it's not in
the area of impact, it's not. If it is in the area of impact, they are going to have to
hook to the sewer system anyway. Whether or not the City of Boise wants a
temporary arrangement, you know, I think it's their decision on allowing them to
hook on now. Whether they unhook to the system later, I don't know if they City
of Boise is going to care. Central District Health is the only one that normally
cares and as long as they are going to get hooked to somebody else, I don't
know that it'll matter to them either. We could certainly prepare an agreement if
you'd like. I don't know that a letter from them acknowledging that is probably
fine, but if we could certainly do that to at least make it a little more concrete for
the future. Whether or not it becomes an issue, we'd have something at least to
go forward with.

Bird: Council, would that be your preference to have Brad and legal draw up an
agreement that they would sign and go ahead and let it hook to Boise, with that
condition?
Wardle: Mr. Vice-President.
Bird: Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: That would be my preference and that it be maybe not necessarily as
far as an agreement, but just an acknowledgement and understanding that when
the circumstances do arise they are contiguous and in the area of impact that
they do hook to the Meridian city sewer.
Bird: I am understanding that you with the agreement that the Mayor sign, the
Clerk attests, right? Was that a motion?
Wardle: So moved.
Rountree: I'll second.
Bird: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: It's a grand idea, but in theory, but in practice, who's going to uncover
this in 15 years -
Bird: Twenty.
Rountree: Twenty years, excuse me. Let's do it. At least we are covered for
now.
Bird: Okay, we got a motion made and seconded. All in favor say aye.
ALL AYES. MOTION CARRIED.
Bird: Brad, will you take care of that with Mr. Nary and get it forward?
Watson: Yes, I will.
ItemS.
Transportation Task Force Recommendations for TIP FY05:
Hawkins-Clark: For some reason Gary Smith didn't want to come tonight. So, I
am pinch-hitting here. Yeah, I think you have all received the memo from Gary
that is the annual submission to the Council that outlines the roadway projects
and intersection projects and pedestrian projects that the Transportation Task
Force is recommending to you to be approved for the - or to forward onto Ada
County Highway District and COMPASS as part of their planning projects. The
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
October 5, 2004
Page 5 of 11
last page of the memo shows all of the committee members, which three of
those, I believe, are citizens and then the rest are some combination of agency
staff people. Generally, the advice that this committee has been given, which
does meet every year - that has been given by COMPASS staff and ACHD staff
is basically if there is a project that the City of Meridian really feels strongly about
and wants in the process to leave it on our list until the year of construction. Not
that there is that much of a risk in something getting taken off of the five year
work program, but that was the advice that this committee was given was since
they do every year go through a ranking process and they looked to see where
was this project? Where did it fall on the city's priority list? So, for that reason
we did leave the Locust Grove overpass as number one, Ten Mile Interchange is
number two and Meridian Road - then actually the rest of them did change in
terms of the rankings from last year's list, but we did leave the two significant 1-84
projects there at the top of the list. There is some pretty helpful information in the
comments column there, most of it provided by Daris Bruce, who is ITD staff. At
our committee meeting he kind of summarized where those projects were at and
the various access studies and environmental impact studies that go with those.
So, those comments are provided there for you. The other piece of advice that
we have been given relates to the order and the fact that while they will just kind
of move - they being the committee at ACHD that moves their way down through
this list every year, you know they just start at the top and just kind of move
down, but normally you won't see any more than the top four or five roadway
projects really have any impact on this next fiscal year for the Highway District.
One of the questions that came up at the committee was should we keep
Meridian Road from Cherry Lane to Franklin on there as a top five since we do
have the downtown transportation study that's underway. I guess the first
meeting was just this last week. As you can see, we did shift that from - it was
number three last year to number five this year. We moved up Linder Road to
the new number three, which essentially makes Linder Road from Franklin north
to Cherry Lane, the number one city recommendation for roadway widening in
terms of the local system widening after the Locust Grove overpass and Ten Mile
1-84 Interchange. The committee did feel that that was important - a number of
developments have come onto Linder Road as you know over the last year, year
and one half and they are really starting to see some congestion, especially there
at the railroad tracks and at Pine. The only other new item - a lot of this is just
kind of shifting up from last year's list. We did take Overland off and we took
Franklin off from last year's list, but we did add - at least I hope it's on there -
well, I guess it's not. I guess what we added this year was the discussion notes
from the meeting. That's where it is, it's on the attachment, which is just notes
from our meeting. The committee actually have met twice this year. We did talk
about the intersection improvements in north Meridian and those are listed there
in terms of the ranking. The Linder I Franklin is listed - oh, I am sorry the Ustick I
Linder is number one. Ustick I Meridian number two and McMillan I Meridian
number three in terms of the three intersection improvements. However, since
these have a much higher priority for us than what can feed into this normal tip
process, we are trying to work with them directly to see jf there is other
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
October 5,2004
Page 6 of 11
opportunities to work with those intersections, so if the Council feels like that's
something you want to add in here, I guess that would need to happen because
at this point it's not in the actual list that would be forwarded onto COMPASS and
ACHD. So, unless you would like me to go into any more detail on the projects
themselves or answer any questions about it, I think that the rest of it's pretty self
explanatory.
Bird: Council any questions for Brad?
De Weerd: Mr. President.
Bird: Madame Mayor.
De Weerd: I guess as we look at the top two Locust Grove overpass and Ten
Mile Interchange it's very important that the connecting local roads reflect the
priorities as well because they are landing roads. I realize we have a lot of road
needs, but if dilute some of them by putting further down in there, are we really
supporting Locust Grove and Ten Mile as our top two, without having the local
roads priorities up high as well? I guess those are my comments. The Nola and
Pine and the emergency connection we need for Mallard landing area, those are
all listed as developer driven and should they be on there or in a separate
category in their own? They are certainly priorities, but since they are
development driven, we are taking up one of those needed priority numbers and
if certain priorities after a certain number drop off, you are almost wasting that
priority number. I guess those are my only observations and wondered if that
was a topic of discussion at the committee?
Hawkins-Clark: Madame Mayor, at least on the Locust Grove side, that is in the
five year work program. The touchdown point at Bentley, I think it is, about 600
feet north side. Of course, south side is going to be finished to Overland anyway,
with the crossing. But then as you head north from Bentley to Franklin and then
from Franklin to Fairview are currently already in the funded-
De Weerd: Well, I realize that, but I guess you had mentioned that they said
even though it's in a funding list, you should put it on here, so some of them that
are in a funding program are on here, some of them aren't on here. It's not
consistent. I am not sure -
Rountree: That's the question I have, Mr. President.
Bird: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: You have got a mix of projects. A lot of these projects - well not a lot,
but some of the projects are already in the TIP and have a (inaudible)
established and it seems to me that the committee ought to be informed that
that's where they are and the funding level is what they are if the committee
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
October 5, 2004
Page 7 of 11
wants them advanced in the TIP that could be a recommendation, but probably
what they ought to be looking at is additional projects to be considered for adding
into the TIP. Because if you get ahead there, then you have an opportunity to
get some new projects, whereas a lot of these will just say well, stuff that's
already in the TIP is stuff that we still want, but we don't want anything more.
Locust Grove is there. I don't know that sidewalk projects necessarily need to
even be in the - I think that's something ACHD could probably tell us. Even
some of these other projects, I think are already in the TIP as well.
De Weerd: Well, I guess Brad if we could note that the year - if they are on a
funded year, what year they are and if we wanted to change that, what we would
be willing to swap it for, you know. I guess, when I hear the discussions at during
our joint meetings with ACHD or COMPASS meetings those are more along the
lines of what information they are seeking. If some of the priorities are going to
change and we have to reshuffle something, what are we willing to give up to get
it and how are we changing those priorities and what ultimate effect it has.
Hawkins-Clark: There is definitely a juggling thing going on here, because at
least my understanding is that there is some risk that you know something could
get bumped down if we didn't have it on our list here, but maybe we actually have
two lists or something that get submitted side by side and one reflects the
projects already in the TI P and basically affirms that we don't want to change
those and then the other ones is when they are in their prioritizing, they can look
to our new project list and say okay these are the ones that aren't currently in the
TIP. This is the format that we have traditionally submitted and I don't know if
COMPASS or ACHD are asking for it exactly in this format or not.
Rountree: Madame Mayor, Mr. President I think if you are playing in the arena of
projects being bumped or moved then we have a spot at the table on COMPASS
when that is considered as well as with ACHD Commissioners, so yeah there is a
potential of it happening, but I think as long as whomever our representatives are
in front of those particular groups or on governing boards we argue our case that
no we don't want that to slip or if it has to slip because of some funding malady
that shows up then yeah we will let that slip, but we want something to fill in
behind it, so it's a bargaining kind of activity. But, once it's on the TIP it's going
to stay on the TIP until essentially it can't be funded or Meridian says we don't
want it anymore. I'll give the floor to Katey at this point.
Levihn: Hello Mayor, President and Council members. May I take five minutes
to inform you of what I think are some changes, if not this year, coming up in the
near future with - well, they are actually incorporated here, but I see a little bit of
a difference. We do typically say please leave your requests in here so that we
understand the importance of them, like Locust Grove overpass, which is funded.
By the way I want to say although we program that in our five year work program
for '06, it was taking a big risk, which ITD has supported us on that and it is going
to be advanced constructed in '06 provided all the environmental documentation
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
October 5, 2004
Page 8 of 11
and right of way acquisition goes through. And it looks like it will at this time.
One thing I want you to notice is that COMPASS is trending towards looking
more regionally and what you see in the TIP if you notice very carefully the TIP is
limited to principal arterials are higher or regionally significant roadways. Several
of your roadways in here are not - don't fall under either of those categories. So,
although this says TIP request, it's also TIP and five year work program request
because it is a local entity and we have most of those roadways that you have in
there.
Rountree: So, would that be part of your CIP as well?
Levihn: Well, our CIP is related only to capacity expansion projects that are
calculated under that formula, so we have got a really confusing, in a way, lists of
projects that we keep out there. The ones on the TIP are principal arterials or
higher or regionally significant and I can give you that definition if you want. The
CIP is only capacity expansion that are needed by a certain formula twenty years
out, then there is projects on here that are not in the CIP and not in the TIP that
ACHD handles it or typically the arterials, although any collector roadway of
course, doesn't meet either of those other two, the CIP or the TIP process,
typically. What I would ask for you, what I notice about your - the change in the
list here if you decide to go ahead with it is the significant change from what they
are showing as the last project on the first page, West Linder Road from Franklin
to Cherry has moved up to third place and the top one on the next page, Ten
Mile from Franklin actually we have it to Cherry in the program, you ask all the
way to Ustick. What's important for us is because that second road, Ten Mile
from Franklin to Cherry is scheduled for construction in '07. I would have to
check, we probably just let the design contract on that for this year. So, it would
be difficult for us to change that, but we could if you were indeed putting Linder
Road ahead of Ten Mile Road. That kind of thing is what I am seeing in this
program. Other than that the top five or ten are pretty much as they are in the
program or not in the program and likely not to be what's number seven, the
second one on the second page, rebuild of Pine? Because that's a priority
number 43, we are currently funded on our list through about priority 36 or 37, so
this rebuild of Pine will likely be evaluated to be put into PO, if the priority remains
the same. We are right now in the process of re-evaluating all those priorities.
We look at all the change in ADT and what's been built and what hasn't been.
So, that is a real candidate to move up into PD. Another thing why I am
particularly pointing that one out, possibly also what shows up both current and
last year's number ten Ustick from Locust Grove to Eagle, that's currently
showing priority 51. That might also - that's pushing it but that might be
considered for our preliminary development category in part because you saw we
had - we collected more money this year than we thought we would with
economic conditions and we had that 4 million, we have moved several projects
from '06 to '05 and so that might open up a slot - another project or two slot on
the end of the program. I have to qualify that might. There have also been
significant increases in oil prices which reflects an asphalt, steel, which reflects in
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
October 5, 2004
Page 9 of 11
concrete work. We are not sure how that's going to workout. But, J would say
those two projects are the ones that are likely to be considered for actually
moving into our five-year work program that I would have to check to see if they
are regionally significant and would then move into the TIP. That feel at the
moment is not. Then that other one, I would point out between Linder from
Franklin to Cherry and Ten Mile, Franklin to Ustick. It may be difficult to switch
those because I believe those designed contracts been (inaudible).
De Weerd: I (inaudible ---) changing that priority, but I don't know-
Bird: Any questions for Katey?
Levihn: I know it's confusing, please-
Rountree: Now that we are all confused -
Levihn: Well, it is. We try to not put your transportation task force through a
meeting with ITD, a meeting with us, a meeting with COMPASS. We tried to do it
all at once and so there is several lists and priorities going on at the same time
here.
Bird: Any other questions?
De Weerd: Mr. Vice-President.
Bird: Madame Mayor.
De Weerd: J guess what would be helpful on this list is to show where they are
and at in the funding and I should have brought my map and I didn't think to.
But, it would also be helpful as we submitted if there is a funding year to it, so it's
kind of like the item three and four for this year that was five and six last year.
We would see that difference and I guess we don't want to send out mixed
messages to ACHD and I think we have been pretty aggressive in showing that
Ten Mile is that priority and that would put Ten Mile ahead of Under and I think
that's reflected as well on your work plan.
Levihn: Right now Ten Mile is for construction in 2007 and Under in 2009.
Bird: That's the way it was given to us (inaudible). We need to switch those.
De Weerd: Mr. Vice-President.
Bird: Madame Mayor.
De Weerd: I guess maybe we can do a little bit of clean up on this and also we
see the ranking from last year. If we can re-rank or if we can sort these to the
(

proposed ran kings, it also makes it easier to read what has been changed and at
the funding years and have Council look at it again next week and just maybe do
some sorting as Katey has suggested. Would that be acceptable, Brad?
Hawkins-Clark: So, reorder based on current year priorities, but then is there
something in addition to that?
De Weerd: Well, kind of take the regionally significant. Also put in funding years
- that there are funding years, so Council can, better synthesize what information
we have here.
Hawkins-Clark: Yeah, they are hidden in there, but I think everything that has a
funding year is in there. It's just a little bit imbedded.
Levihn: We could help with that. I would suggest putting in a separate columns,
two columns. One showing funding year and one showing regionally significant
in TIP, in CIP in five year work programs or something like that. Make it simple.
Hawkins-Clark: Would you like us to work that together and then bring back to
you next week?
Bird: Is that your preference, Council?
Rountree: That would be mine.
Wardle: Mine too.
Bird: That would be mine. Okay, Brad if you would do that we would certainly
appreciate it.
Hawkins-Clark: In terms of the projects themselves, though, the Council has
none other to add or comments on --?
Bird: Madame Mayor.
De Weerd: I guess in the current form it's a little bit jumbled to know. I
personally would like to see three and four switched. You know, as I was trying
to go through this last week when I got it, it just was - it would help if it were done
a little bit different.
Rountree: Mr. President.
Bird: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: One comment I would suggest that the committee contemplate is
finish the connection of our community and that's looking at a Under grid

separation. That's long-term. But, that's the next one in the puzzle to get all of
our grid connected across all of our city.
De Weerd; The overpass. That's alTO - that's like telling a doctor, in English

October 4 PreCouncil
We were notified by JUB Engineers that they will not have the sewer study of
the area north of Chinden done until late next week. Evidently, the
employee who was working on it recently left their firm.
This study directly relates to the North Black Cat Sewer item that David
Turnbull and Frank Varriale want to discuss at the Pre-Council meeting. I
am recommending this item be postponed until the October 11 Pre-Council
meeting. I spoke with Mr. Turnbull yesterday and told him this, also.
Please call if you have any questions.
Thank you,

Re: Request for Sewer Service - Calvary Chapel Treasure Valley.. Lake Hazel
Road
Hi Mayor:
I telephoned Pastor Zachman, of the Calvary Chapel, to obtain some details to the
letter that he recently sent to you requesting that he be allowed to connect this
property to Boise City sewer.
His church property is located on the south side of Lake Hazel and is about Y:z mile
west of Cloverdale Road. This property is within our Area of Impact, which has an
eastern boundary % mile west of Cloverdale. He said the property is about 1000
feet from Boise's sewer line, which is serving the Medallist Subdivision that is next to
the Boise Ranch Golf Course. He would need to pump his sewage to Boise's
system.
I also called John Johnson at Boise City Public Works to verify the details of their
sewage collection system in this area. John confirmed that theIr sewer is In this
location and that the church would need to pump to get there. He also indicated
he did not think it would be a problem to accept the church's sewage, from a
capacity standpoInt.
Pastor Zachman states in his letter that he is willing to
accept this connection to Boise as a temporary one
until such time os Meridian r s sewer system is extended
to his area. He is not requesting to be removed from
our impact area. If you and the City Council agree to

his request, it may be appropriate for the church to enter into a short legal
agreement with us wherein they agree to disconnect from Boise and connect and
pay connection fees to us at the time our sewer system is available to them. I
assume they will need to pay connection fees to Boise, which the Pastor should ask
Boise if they will refund at the time they disconnect.
I don't have a problem grantIng his request as long as a legal document exists and
we don I t have to rely on our memories when our sewer line does get there and it is
necessary for them to disconnect from Boise and connect to us. From our Facility
Plan it appears that a 15-inch diameter line could some day be located near the
northeast comer of their property.

Dear Mayor de Weerd:
Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Dal)'! Zachman, and I am the pastor of CalvaI)'
Chapel Treasure Valley. We currently meet in the Hillcrest Shopping Center in Boise and have a
private school for grades K through 8th. We have purchased property on Lake Hazel next to Boise
Ranch Golf Course, between Cloverdale and Eagle, which we are planning to begin developing
sometime next year. The property is in a Rural Residential district and not in a city impact zone,
however, it does have a Meridian address. As we have been going through the application process for
a Conditional Use Permit, we have had great support from the landowners and homeowner's
associations in the area.
Our problem is that presently there is no sewer service to the property. We've called your city office and
have been told that it will be ten to fifteen years before the Meridian sewer district provides service. Our
first thought was that we could do a septic system. But high ground water levels make this a costly
proposition. The Boise sewer line ends about a thousand feet east of our property line at the golf
course.
The reason that I am W1iting you is that the Boise sewer district will not allow us to hook up unless we
have a letter from your office granting us the right. This would save us thousands of dollars. Even if
such permission was granted only temporarily until the time that we either sold the property, or until the
Meridian sewer district could provide service, it would help us develop the property much sooner and at
much less cost than if we have to provide our own sewer treatment facility.
Your consideration of this matter is greatly appreciated. We look forward to soon providing this
developing area with a variety of quality community services. Please feel free to call me on my cell if
you have any questions~ 412-7759.
Sincerely,
CfJ~r

Public Hearing: PP 04-029 Request for Preliminary Plat approval for 20
single family residential building lots on 4.91 acres in a proposed R-8 zone
for Redfeather Village Subdivision by Packard Estates Development,
LLC - east of north Eagle Road and north of East Fairview Avenue:
De Weerd: Thank you. I'm sorry, I'm really having a hard time saying anything tonight.
I guess that works in the advantage of the Council. Okay. I will open Item No. 8 with
staff comments.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, our first item tonight is Redfeather--
De Weerd: And it's infectious.
Canning: Redfeather Village Subdivision. This is an annexation and zoning request of
4.91 acres from RUT to R-8. The property is located right in the middle of the original
Redfeather request, which came through earlier this year. This was the original
Redfeather. You can see the five-acre -- five acre out parcel outlined here and that is
the subject of this new subdivision. It's a very straightforward subdivision. They have
proposed 20 single family residential lots and the stub streets from the original
Redfeather just connects in an L shape with the lots on there. The gross density is 4.07
dwelling units per acre. The lots -- Madam Mayor, you have got me all tongue-tied.
That's not fair. The lots range in size from 6,712 square feet to 12,412 square feet.
This is a straight subdivision; it is not a planned development. And that's the basics. I
will answer any questions that Council may have.
Bird: I have none, Madam Mayor.
Rountree: I have none.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you, Anna. Okay. Is the applicant here tonight? Well, since
the applicant isn't here this evening, Council, do you wish to go any further? Is there
anyone in the public who would like to offer testimony on this a pplication? Council,
what would you like to do?
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I would move that we continue the public hearings for Items 8 and 9 to October
12th, 2004.
Rountree: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. It's been moved and seconded to continue this item until next week.
Is there any further discussion? Okay. All those in favor say aye. Okay. All ayes.
Motion carries.

Item 10:
Public Hearing: CUP 04-029 Request for a Conditional Use Permit for a
daycare facility for 30 to 40 children in an R-8 zone for Condra Steeves
Daycare Center by Condra and Donald Steeves - 1258 East Cougar
Creek Drive:
De Weerd: Okay. Item 10 is Public Hearing CUP 04-029. I will open this Public
Hearing with staff comments.
Canning: Just a moment. I wasn't prepared to move that quickly. I'm sorry. Madam
Mayor, Members of the Council, the next request is for a Conditional Use Permit for a
daycare facility for -- the original request was 30 to 40 children in an R-8 zone. They
can only accommodate 30 children with the parking that's provided. So, it would just be
limited to 30. You can see the outline of the house as shown here. It's on Cougar -- I'll
see it in the next one. No, I won't. Cougar Creek. Thank you very much. Off of Locust
Grove Road just south of Ustick. And there is the arrow. You can see that the
subdivision is built out. This is the -- north is headed this way for a reference point. So,
here is Cougar Creek Drive on the south end of the property. The parking would be
located in this area. Here is the side buffer. This is the garage from the house that
would still be a garage and be able to accommodate two vehicles. And, then, this is the
house and this is the play yard in the back. I'm going to go right to the P&Z
recommendation, so I can kind of summarize some of the testimony that we heard in
the previous hearings. This does come forward with a recommendation for approval
from the Planning and Zoning Commission. The 0 riginal recommendation from staff
was for denial based on the need -- the lack of adequate parking, primarily, in the front
area. There is a note there from Ms. Kirkpatrick regarding the recommendation. It says
at the September 2nd, 2004, hearing, the Planning and Zoning Commission
recommended approval of the CUP application for Condra Steeves and adopted staff
comments as part of their motion to approve the CUP. Staff comments did recommend
denial and we did not include conditions of approval. Since it was clearly the intent of
the Planning and Zoning Commission to recommend approval of the CUP application,
staff just submitted a revised staff report that included conditions of approval, so -- and,
then, we added the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission from
there. So, they did not have the standard conditions of approval going forward into the
hearing, but we did add those for this hearing. At the Public Hearing nine local
residents testified in favor of the application. Three neighbors testified in opposition to
the project, expressing concerns regarding traffic, noise, and the impact of the daycare
center on property values. There was also quite a bit of testimony about other kinds of
nonresidential uses in the area and I would imagine that that testimony will come up
again tonight. The key issues of discussion were the potential impacts of the daycare
center on the neighborhood; the logistics of the daycare center, just how people would
get there, drop off kids and leave. And, then, landscaping of the subject property and
parking on the subject property. They did recommend approval of the CUP. They also
recommended that the applicant work with the city to obtain alternative compliance for
Meridian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 7 of 84
landscaping. That will need to bed one a sa separate application, but a t staff I eve!.
They don't meet the required buffer on this side setback. That required area is 20 feet
and due to site constraints and location of the existing residents, they are not able to
provide that 20 feet. They have about 11 feet -- they are asking for a buffer of 12 feet.
And then -- on the eastern edge of the property and, then, eleven foot six on the
western edge. If I can get my -- there we go. So, they are asking for 12 feet there and,
then, 11 feet six on this location. There was quite a bit of discussion about the three
parking spaces at the front of the house and as to whether a variance was required for
that or not. The standard residential setback is 20 feet. There is an exception for the --
for the residence portion to move forward to 15 feet. So, for a residence, the setback
varies between 12 -- or 20 and 15 feet. In this case we have a conditional use going
into this zone, so there is a question about what is the setback and that becomes
important, because for commercial properties or for nonresidential uses, essentially, the
required parking cannot be in the front setback. So, as they have shown their three
parking spaces, they meet the 15-foot setback, but not the 20-foot setback. So, there
was some discussion as to whether a variance was needed. The Planning and Zoning
Commission felt that there wasn't and didn't recommend -- didn't forward a
recommendation to Council that the applicant be required to get a variance. So, that
was an outstanding issue before Council. And I think with that I will end my
presentation and answer any questions that Council may have.
De Weerd: Council, do you have any questions for staff at this time?
Canning: I do have the floor plan of the house. It's very difficult to read, but -- and there
is the house.
De Weerd: Okay. Is the applicant here this evening? I notice you were sworn in.
Nickel: I was sworn in, Madam Mayor. Thank you.
De Weerd: State your name and address.
Nickel: Shawn Nickle, 52 North 2nd Street in Eagle.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Nickle: Here tonight representing Condra Steeves and this application for a Conditional
Use Permit. As staff has stated, your Planning and Zoning Commission did make a
recommendation for approval of this application after a lengthy discussion and
testimony, both in favor and in opposition. The applicant did, prior to submittal of this
application, hold a neighborhood meeting, which they sent out 54 letters, of which two
people showed up and they explained the process that they were going to go through
for the Conditional Use Permit. Also, the property itself and the aspects of the
Conditional Use Permit. The client also took a petition around, in which 49 of the
residents on Cougar Creek Lane or Drive, including the homeowner association
president and vice-president, signed in favor of the application. In addition, the
Meridian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 8 of 84
applicant submitted a petition with 103 signatures of past and present parents that have
either gone through their daycare centers in other locations or are currently going
through those centers. And in addition -- you should have all that in your packet. In
addition to that there is also a letter from State Senator Bunderson and from a local
businessman, all in support of this application for this use in this location. The actual
use is a preschool, rather than a daycare, but it is being processed as a daycare center,
because of the code. The applicant is not proposing any signage. They will be limiting
the number of students to 30. The hours of operation will be 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.,
Monday through Friday. There will be three teachers at the -- at the facility, all licensed
with the state. The reason for this location was because of its location and central -- its
central location to the subdivision. Many of the potential children and parents can walk
to this site, including one of the teacher's lives right down the street. Thus, that would
help with any traffic concerns. I think that initially the Planning and Zoning Commission
and staff had serious concerns about this request until they did find out the hours of
operation and the fact that our parking can be contained on site and the testimony in
favor of the application at the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. ACHD has
submitted a report stating that the traffic will not increase to a point that would make the
street unsafe. There is an existing adult care facility adjacent to the property on the
west. There are other commercial uses also within the subdivision. The neighbors on
both sides of the property have submitted letters in your packet requesting approval and
requesting that the alternative landscape plan that is appropriate and that we work with
staff on -- on exactly how many trees and w hat kind of buffering we will do on that
property. With that I will stand for any questions you have.
De Weerd: Council, do you have any questions?
Rountree: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: Shawn, you indicated that there are other commercial uses in the area.
Where are those uses and what are those uses and are they permitted through a CUP
or some other action?
Nickle: The main one is the adult care facility, which is next door to the property. I don't
believe that -- we went through this at Planning and Zoning and --
Rountree: It doesn't need a permit.
Nickle: It doesn't need a permit, so -- I don't know if the other ones are legal uses or
not. Home offices and smaller daycares.
De Weerd: Any further questions?
Bird: I have none at this time.
Meridian City Council

De Weerd: Okay. Thank you.
Nickle: Thanks.
De Weerd: Okay. We have a number of people that have signed up for or against. If,
when I read your name, you would like to come up to provide testimony or if it's just
sufficient to read into the record if you're for or against. I have Deborah Schrader for.
Would you like to provide testimony? Okay. I'm guessing Louann Falter. Okay. Sorry.
I couldn't read it and listed as for. Amy Young for. Yes, please. Were you sworn in?
Young: Yes, I was.
De Weerd: Okay. If you will, please, state your name and address.
Young: I'm Amy Young. My address is 20 --
De Weerd: If you will pull the microphone down. I'm sorry. Okay.
Young: I'm Amy Young. My address is 2690 North Mildew Way. I am a patron of the
preschool. My son attends there. My older son attended there. It is a preschool, so all
the children that attend, attend in a two-hour block period, so they have -- the 30
students would be three different classes of ten students each. My son loves it dearly
and we are looking forward to it being close to the neighborhood and I think it would be
a wonderful addition to the neighborhood. I have -- I don't know if the neighbors that
are, you know, opposed to it -- I brought a little -- the preschool makes up a little packet
of the kind of things that go on with the children and a sample of what the preschool
looks like and I have -- I have that if anybody would like to look at it. But my son's --
he's seven years old now and I brought it tonight to -- just in support of it, so --
De Weerd: Well, thank you. Corrine Arnell. For. Okay. Tish Davis against. Okay.
Were you sworn in?
Davis: I was.
De Weerd: If you will, please, state your name and address.
Davis: I'm Tish Davis and my current address is 12351 West Gregory Drive. But,
however, I do have a house that is a rental on Stormy Drive, which is one road north of
where the proposed daycare center is, and my backyard would, basically, butt up
against their backyard, but there is a canal that runs in between those two sections of
land right there. And I guess my biggest concern over it is the traffic, because people
will enter to get to their home off of Locust Grove and, as you can see, there really isn't
any place to turn around. They are going to have to go up and come back out and that
will take them right down Stormy Drive. What isn't shown on this map is that section up
there that looks like it's undeveloped --
Meridian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 10 of 84
De Weerd: You have a pointer right there.
Davis: Oh, do I? Look at that. Let's see. That section right there is being developed
currently and they are cutting a road right there. I'm shaking. And so, then, that means
that all of that traffic is going to be right down Stormy Drive, too, along with all the traffic
from that daycare center. And there is a group home that is right next to where this
proposed daycare center is going in and I'm just wanting to know how many more --
how many more commercial businesses are going to be allowed into that -- into that
subdivision. I don't doubt that they are great people and that they are there to serve a
purpose and I think that that's great, but as a homeowner, as a landowner, I am
concerned about the traffic that it's going to bring into our neighbor. Thank you.
De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. Judy Alton against. If you will, please, state your name
and address.
Alton: Judy Alton, 1252 East Stormy Drive.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Alton: And I live on the same street that Tish was speaking about. My real concern is
traffic. There is, as she said, the new subdivision going in and we are already going to
be getting a lot of people coming through to avoid the stop sign at Ustick and Locust
Grove to go to the subdivision. And people coming from the daycare center are
probably going to come around and we have a lot of small kids riding their bikes up and
down the street and that's a lot of traffic to be added. Also, just our home values. If we
are adding more and more of these type of properties, I think that people would
generally choose not to live next door to a business in a neighborhood and those are
really my chief concerns. I have no doubt that these people are great and that they run
a wonderful preschool, but I think that because of the traffic concerns that it is an issue
that I would rather not see.
De Weerd: Thank you. Steve Alton signed up against. Would you like to provide
testimony? Okay.
S.Alton: My wife usually says everything for me, but I just want to point one thing out.
De Weerd: If you will state your name and address.
S.Alton: Steve Alton, 1252 Stormy Drive.
De Weerd: And were you sworn in?
S.Alton: Yes.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you.
Meridian City Council
October 5. 2004
Page 11 of 84
S.Alton: The same concerns, obviously. When we moved in four years ago, we moved
into a neighborhood that we recognized would have additional traffic based on -- see if I
can get this to work. Based on the fact that that area was undeveloped and with this
road right here going through to Ustick, that when that was developed it was, obviously,
going to be easier for cars to come through to avoid the light both going to work and,
then, the traffic flow back, cut through a gain to avoid this intersection. What wasn't
mentioned is that I went over and counted the number of lots that are developed and
they are just starting to build in this area right here and there are 60 lots. So, they are
typical family homes, which they are. There is two cars per home, so that's a potential
of 60 automobiles just on that alone coming through our street and diminishing our --
excuse me -- the peace that we bought and the property value that we acquired. So, to
put a commercial building -- or commercial development there and put more cars down
our neighborhood is only going to diminish our value further. So, we are strongly
opposed against it.
De Weerd: Mr. Alton, in that subdivision that's being developed, do they not have an
access onto Ustick?
S.Alton: They do have an access onto Ustick, but most people like to go take the route
of least resistance, so rather -- their option is to go to Ustick, come to a light, wait for the
light, and, then, go this direction or this direction. Locust Grove traffic is picking up and
most people want to get down Locust Grove to Fairview, to Eagle, to the freeway,
whereever they are going. So, the natural cut through -- and we are seeing it now. I
mean there is no homes being lived in right here, they are just being built, but we are
seeing increased traffic through that route down our street now from no homes and no
families living there. It's just people that have figured it out. They can get through there
quicker i neither direction than going u p to the I ight a t Locust G rove a nd U stick and
waiting for a left-hand turn, Locust Grove to Ustick, or a right-hand turn going the
opposite direction. So, it's becoming a known cut through. When the homes are built
there and 60 more cars are in play, it's going to be a freeway, let alone 30 more cars
throughout the day. So, the property value. But there is one more thing that I want to
bring up. The way that thing has been handled, we were having dinner one night when
a young lady showed up at our front door and kind of explained that they were going to
do a daycare, with no details, and we thought, well, that's great, somebody trying to
make a living with the daycare, we didn't have any -- and they asked, you know, if you
had a problem with that, that there was opportunity to get involved. We gave it no
consideration and thought that's not a problem, four or five kids in the neighbor, typical
daycare. That's the last we heard of it. We got no petition. We had no invitation to a
meeting. The only thing that we had was a notice in the mail that this meeting was
going to occur tonight and, then, we saw in that -- in that notice that they were intending
for the 30 to 40 kids. So, I read the minutes from the last meeting today and I found that
most of the neighbors -- it said in there that most of the neighbors -- and the reason that
zoning was giving the recommendation that it be okay was because most of the
neighbors are saying it's fine. However, I don't know that most of the neighbors really
understand the full impact of what's being proposed. We certainly didn't until we got
Meridian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 12 of 84
that notice and I don't know that others do. If -- I would like to submit, if nothing else -- I
don't know what the meeting tonight is for, if it's for a final approval or what --
De Weerd: Yes.
S.Alton: Is it? I would like at a minimum suggest that -- I'd like to go around and talk to
my neighbors and see if they really understand the impact of this and if they have been
given the opportunities that we have been given. I don't think they understand what's
going on, so --
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you. Jeremy -- I will mutilate your name, so I will just call you
Jeremy. Or Jerome. I'm sorry. I already mutilated your name, didn't I? Signed up
against. Would you like to provide testimony? Thank you. Okay. Trina Savoy. Thank
you. I didn't notice that I swore you in.
Savoy: You did not.
De Weerd: Is the testimony you provide tonight the truth, the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth, so help you God?
Savoy: Yes.
De Weerd: Thank you. If you will, please, state your name and address.
Savoy: Okay. Trina Savoy. My address is 2136 East Clarine and I live 9/10ths of a
mile away from the proposed preschool and I do want to reiterate it is a preschool with a
very strong curriculum, preparing children for kindergarten. This is my second year
attending Mrs. Steeves' preschool. My intention is to walk. A lot of the children are car
pulled. The majority of them. There could be a potential problem now with where it's
located and she's done such a good job of making sure that groups of children are
coming in at the same time, we are not having 20 cars coming in at once. It's very well
managed and handled. And I believe -- I'm not positive, but I believe that that sign that
was posted did state the details and the number of children, the sign that was posted in
front of that house about the meeting and the number of children that were going to be
attending. So, that might be something you want to check on, but I'm pretty sure.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you. Staff, do we know what the sign said? When those are
posted does it list specifics about the application?
Canning: We should have a picture of it. Let me check. It should read just the same as
this one here. Generally the same wording.
De Weerd: Okay. While you look at that, I'll go ahead and continue. Brian Conner
signed up against. Thank you. Were you sworn in?
Conner: Yes, I was.
Meridian City Council

De Weerd: Okay. If you will, please, state your name and address. And you can pull
that up.
Conner: Okay. Brian Conner. I live on 2797 North Snow Goose Way, Meridian.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Conner: Basically, my house is one -- one house and one street away. I live in Hunter
Point Subdivision. A long with t he concerns that have been v oiced tonight a bout the
increased traffic and things of that nature, I think my -- one of my major concerns and
something that hasn't really been stated, is the kind of commercial creep into R-8 zoned
residential areas. Council member Rountree already kind of touched on it tonight when
he asked how many other conditional use permits do we have in that area with some
sort of commercial use. And so the more we allow this, the more it sets a precedence
for other people to have businesses and I think -- I really doubt that some of the people
that live in this area would have bought their house if there was a daycare or preschool
facility, whatever you may have, right next door to them or if their houses may have
appraised at the same rate. The only time this kind of commercial creep really benefits
anyone is when you're one of the last residential homeowners standing and everything
else has finally valued up, because it is all business, everything has been totally
restructured. You look on any house in Boise on Broadway, Fairview, something like
that, that's right next to all the commercial creep, those houses are fairly run down, they
are not worth much anymore, unless you can rezone it and sell it as commercial. So, I
just kind of -- I think this kind of commercial creep is subject to what the original zoning
intent was for these areas and I don't think we need the increased traffic either. Thank
you.
De Weerd: Thank you. Don Jensen has signed up in support. Would you -- okay.
Melinda Jensen in support. Okay. Jack -- I'm sorry. Jack Savoy. Okay. He's in
support. Gwen Blakeslee. In support.
Blakeslee: Hi.
De Weerd: If you will, please, state your name and address.
Blakeslee: Gwen Blakeslee, 2550 North Bobcat Way.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Blakeslee: And I have a daughter who is in her second year with the preschool at their
location on Under and I'm in a car pool with another student and I would really
appreciate having another facility closer. It would cut d own on my, you know, eight
minute drive to about -- either walking or a one minute drive, because I'm in the
neighborhood adjacent to it. And I have two other children that would benefit from
having a quality preschool close by.

De Weerd: Were you sworn in?
Steeves: I was not.
De Weerd: Okay. Is the testimony you provide tonight the truth, the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Steeves: It is.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Steeves: I just wanted to clarify a few things. What they are saying about traffic, we do
come in car pools. The way that it works is we have three classes that would be
attending. They would come at 9:00,9:15, and 9:30. With my 9:00 o'clock class there
would be four cars coming in and out. With my 9:15 there is five and with my 9:30 there
is five, maybe six. That doesn't count the people who are in walking -- I mean it does
count the people who are in walking distance. Can they stand?
De Weerd: You bet.
Steeves: People who are within walking distance. Oh, there was going to be more of
them. There is at least 11 who are within walking distance who will be there. There has
been a neighbor who has asked us not to make u-turns, so I have talked to the parents
about pulling into the driveway, backing out, and, then, going back out the same street.
They don't even know Stormy exists without this map here. I mean I'm sure they could
figure it out, but they didn't -- I was planning on them using East Cougar Creek. We
have walked East Cougar Creek, we have got all their signatures, the people who -- no,
there is two people on the street who we don't have their signatures, but 99 percent I
would say. We have walked that whole East Cougar Creek Drive and they are all okay
with it and they understand. They have seen the sign. The sign says 30 to 40 children.
But we have gone to them and explained how they will be coming in. The other thing is
R-8 zones are zoned for commercial uses, but our preschool will not have signs, it's
bought in our names, so it is a residence, it is not a commercial building. Anyone
driving down in the evenings wouldn't know what was going on. So, it will stay looking
as a home, up kept as a home, and since we are buying it as a husband and wife, it
won't change property values at all. No one will even know that it's a preschool. During
-- from 9:00 to 3:00 is when we operate, so when they are out with the children and in
the evenings with families, it will be dead quiet and there will be no traffic from us. I
think that was all of the issues from there.

De Weerd: Okay. Thank you, Council, do you have any questions?
Bird: I have none.
Rountree: I have none.
Wardle: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: Mrs. Steeves, if I could just ask a question. My question is why this particular
location?
Steeves: I have about 60 people within a mile radius who would like to go there. The
location was looked at, there was actually a home farther down we looked at and the
parking wouldn't facilitate. This one has room for three cars double deep. So, if I have
six people dropping off, they can all fit in the driveway and not on the road. That was
one reason. The square footage works very well and it's that quiet. We are very quiet.
Our children are in classes of ten with a teacher, all supervised, it is educational, no kids
are running around or anything, so it fits very well in neighborhoods, which I target. The
parents who come want an in-home feel for their children's first experience at schoof.
We provide that in-home feel, plus keep it just -- so that area -- I was targeting that area
and, actually, the homeowner came to me and said -- who is a person that has children
in the preschool and said we are wanting to move, would you look at our home and see
if it would work. There is plenty of people right around who would like that. So, we did
do the research we did do that. Also, with the other people, mailers were sent out by
Meridian city and by -- for this one. This is the second hearing. They got the mailer for
the first hearing that explained the 30 to 40 children; it has the exact same wording. So,
everybody on Stormy -- this is their second mailer and I was the nice lady that knocked
on the door and handed them an invitation to a neighborhood meeting where I would
explain all of this. We only had two people show up. But that was an invitation when
we talked to them, was handed to them, please come to the neighborhood meeting, so I
can explain all this.
Wardle: Madam Mayor, follow up?
De Weerd: Okay.
Wardle: I guess my question was this Council has seen and approved just recently a lot
of office along -- if I can have the map of the neighborhood. Yeah. Just along Locust
Grove to the south and, then, up into here and so I heard you say that an in-home feel
is important to your needs. You didn't consider a use in -- such as a low office or--
Steeves: No. No. We would not have the clientele we have. They come to us for an
in-home feel.

Wardle: Thank you.
De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. Is the testimony you are about to give the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Freeze: Yes. Yes.
De Weerd: Thank you. Please state your name and address.
Freeze: Melissa Freeze, 4650 West Big Creek Street.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Freeze: And I just want to say I have been at home for four years, but I taught for six
years in the Meridian district, three at Under Elementary and three at Chaparral and
when I looked for a preschool I was pretty p icky a nd I was very impressed with her
setup and I did like the in-home setting and it takes the cost down, plus it's clean. And I
have been really -- like I said, I'm really picky and I was the room mom last year, so I
was very careful about watching and being in there and she runs a very tight ship. She
does not let her kids get out of control and if there is a problem, she takes care of it right
away and I do not foresee any problems as far as other property being destroyed or
kids climbing fences or whatever. There is -- in our class it was a one-to-eight ratio,
which is a really small ratio. I don't know if you have checked other preschools around
town, but most of them are one to 15 or 18, sometimes with a helper. And the other
thing is -- is I know that they are concerned about traffic, but I wanted to reemphasize
that the morning sessions are usually like from 9:00 to noon at the latest and, then, my
son is in the afternoon session and he gets out at 2:45. And I know that that's before
people are home from work and also before kids get home from school. So, I know that
if most people in that neighborhood are working, they are probably leaving at 7:00 or
8:00 and that's, really, before any of the moms come and, then, when you get home at
5:00 or 6:00, they will be gone. Kids -- my son's home at 3:00 every day. And it's not a
daycare, it's -- I was very picky about that. I wanted it to be a preschool. So, you either
sign up for the morning or afternoon and, then, that's it. So, I just want to emphasize
that [ think it's not going to be an issue, because they will probably be at work when
people are dropping off and car-pooling.
De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. Were you sworn in?

Kendrick: Santha Kendrick, 1076 East Cougar Creek Court.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Kendrick: And I only live about six houses down and I have space for six cars -- well,
five, because I have my car. So, we can use my area if we need for cars. I'm very
willing to do that and I'll walk down myself, so I won't need to drive. But I'm very willing
to, you know, give up the area if we need to use that to allow their preschool in and I
have had my son there for three years and it's excellent, it is a very fun and very good
program and my second son is turning -- he just turned three, so I'm excited to have one
so close. But, anyway, I -- like I said, I will be walking down there myself and if they
need extra space I definitely have enough to fit all of them.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Kendrick: Thanks.
De Weerd: Is the testimony you provide tonight the truth, the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth, so help you God?
Perry: Yes.
De Weerd: Thank you. Please state your name and address.
Perry: I'm Stephanie Perry, 1258 East Cougar Creek. We are the current homeowners
of the home and I also have had my children in the preschool. This is the fourth year. I
have had three children go through there. I just want to say that it's a wonderful
preschool. Obviously, I keep my children in and for both years -- three and four years. I
also wanted to bring up -- I understand a lot of people are concerned about the traffic,
which is understandably so, but, like she said, there is going to car pools, the preschool
that she currently runs, I know there is several car pools that go through there, but I also
wanted to say we have a lawn care and sprinkler company and we have two employees
that run that and we personally give a lot of traffic to the road. So we are -- we need to
move, we need to expand and get a bigger house, because I feel there is -- you know,
we have two trailers, three vehicles, and, then, our two employee vehicles, along with
my two brother-in-Iaws that come and help run the company. So, with that traffic
coming in and out, you know, I feel that the business -- going into a business, I don't
know if the neighbors will notice so much of a difference with us gone, because,
currently, like I said, we have a lot of -- a lot of trailers and vehicles in our area in our
home, so --
De Weerd: Thank you. Council, any questions?
Rountree: Madam Mayor?

De Weerd: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: Do you have a Conditional Use Permit to operate a business in that
neighborhood?
Perry: No, we don't.
Rountree: Thank you.
De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. Any new testimony? Is the testimony you provide
tonight the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
D'Hadley. Yes.
De Weerd: Thank you. Please state your name and address.
D'Hadley: My name is Karen D'Hadley. I live on 706 West A shby. I have been a
teacher at S mall Hands Preschool for six years and I -- it's a wonderful program. I
started there when I was going to school at BSU. I had many great teachers,
professors, doctors, that helped me and Condra Steeves progress this preschool to the
point that it is. I consulted with them hours and hours and they helped me and Condra
to make it a wonderful program. But what I really wanted to express was our parents --
people are worried about the traffic and worried about people rushing, but our parents
and us love our children. They follow the speed limit. They are careful. They are safe.
Our children are the most important things to us in the world and we wouldn't ever put
them in danger and they are very good about keeping the laws of the road and very
considerate drivers and they do come in car pools. I have one class -- or I have three
classes I only have four cars coming in with ten kids. So, traffic is low and they do
follow the speed limit and are very careful and I think that's all. Thank you.
De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. Is there any further testimony? Were you sworn in?
Bohrn: Yes, I was.
De Weerd: Okay. If you will, please, state your name and address.
Bohrn: My name is Donna Bohrn and I live at 1451 North Santa Rosa Place.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Bohrn: And this is something dear to my heart, too. I mean it's not about a variance, it's
about -- it's kind of the same issue, except for mine is not quite as big. But I just wanted
to come and say that when -- comments about when people are looking to buy a house
in a neighborhood like this and stuff, when do they mostly go out? They go out on the
weekends, they go out in the evenings after work. This type of a preschool is not going
to see the type of traffic or kids out playing during those times. I don't think it's going to
Meridian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 19 of 84
have any effect of the value of -- in the neighborhood on houses. The next issue I'd like
to bring out is that it is a structured environment. Preschools are a little bit different than
daycares and I know for a fact that preschools and daycares -- slash preschool
daycares that I have gone to around here seem to think they are grouped together and
they are not. When it's just a preschool, it's just a preschool. It's very structured. They
go from one center to another center, there is not any yelling, they are to use their
inside voices. It's not like -- it would be like even better than your own kids behaving at
home. If you had five to ten kids of your own, you would probably have a lot of noise
going on throughout the day. Whereas with these preschoolers, there is not much noise
at all, because they are talking in human voices, they are not yelling, they are not
screaming, they are not running around with guns, they are learning, you know, like our
kids do. You know, that's what I mean the gun comment, because usually they have
squirt guns or running around, you know, when they are out playing. But when they are
in school they are not allowed to do that. It's structured. So it is a structured
environment, so the noise and stuff is very limited. When they do go outside, they don't
go outside for two or three hours, they are out there for maybe 15, 20 minutes at a time
and it's, again, structured play. There is the sandbox. There is the swings. They are
not running around causing all kinds of chaos. The next thing I'd like to point out is that
usually the parents that bring their children to us are strictly day -- or a preschool
environment c are a bout their children enough tot ake 0 ut the time tog 0 to it. They
usually don't work. If they do work, they have somebody, like a family member or a
friend, deliver their children or a car pool. They are not in a rush. They don't have a job
to go to. This is their job. They are parents or friends or family that are helping get
these children to their education start. The next issue is the last one and I will be quiet.
I feel t hat a subdivision would benefit from home businesses, because you probably
have all experienced it yourselves, the traffic is getting crazy everywhere, the time it
takes to get from one point to another point is going up. Just myself, I live four miles
from Wal-Mart, when I go to Wal-Mart it used to take me like eight minutes, now it takes
me 15, you know. So, those types of things cut into our time with our family and family
is a big issue with me. I would have more time with my family. So, if we had these little
places, like daycares, preschools, nail salons, home businesses that are -- have
something to do with like selling candles, baskets, perfume, makeups, whatever, it helps
us as parents that choose to stay at home and do that during the day, to just be right
around the corner to walk to it, to just jump in the car and go two miles versus eight
down the road. I think it's a benefit to a subdivision, especially if it's handled in a decent
way, which is like they were saying, there is not going to be any signs, so I don't think
that it would be an impose on the neighborhood or bring down the value. Thank you.
De Weerd: T hank you. N ow I don't even have to ask, dol? 1st he testimony you
provide tonight the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Bodily: Yes.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Meridian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 20 of 84
Bodily: My name is April Bodily, I live at 2728 South Sims Place in Meridian, and I just
wanted to stand tonight and put on record that I am in support of this. My children have
attended Small Hands Preschool for three years. It's an interesting thing. If you know
Condra, which I guess you guys don't have that fortunate of knowing her, but this
preschool started just in her home with probably six kids and Condra is a woman who
loves education and she's great at it and it has grown, not because she wanted to make
money, not because she wanted to have centers all around the Treasure Valley, but
because she loves children. She teaches them well and you would not believe the
parents that call day and day -- day after day wanting to get into this program. It is like
no other. It is also affordable, which is very hard to find, because Condra is not out to
make a living off of this. She is out to help these children. One small known fact also is
that Condra does scholarship many children and has quite a few classes where parents
pay very little, because they can't afford this sort of thing and wouldn't get it any other
place. I know these parents help out in other ways that they can by, you know, doing
some of the task work at home and stuff like that. So, I guess I just wanted it to be
known this is not about a business. And another little known fact -- I was at the last
hearing -- is that if this CUP does go into effect, it is with Condra only, it doesn't stay
with the home or the property. Somebody else can't come in and do this if she sells it.
One more thing I want to say is every time you will hear Condra say, oh, the parents will
just come in and park there and turn around and leave, it is the truth. She runs a tight
ship in the sweetest way and the parents listen. They do love their children. They love
Condra. They are happy to have their children here with these wonderful teachers in
this educational environment and you will see everything that she says happen. There
will be many children walking. I have now started to sort of work in this preschool,
which is amazing, because I said I would never do anything like that after I got rid of my
children into school. But it's because it's just amazing. You're taken into it. It's quiet. I
do go down into the basement of her center now and you would not believe that there
are 30 children there, because it is absolutely quiet. They are learning and they are
loving it. So, I just wanted that to go on record tonight. Thank you.
De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. I'm sorry you've already testified. Is there any further
testimony? Okay. We do give the applicant an opportunity to rebut.
Canning: Madam Mayor, before the applicant comes up to rebut, I did want to just point
out a couple 0 f things from the staff report and some 0 f the commitments that have
been made by the developer that are not reflected in the conditions of approval. If you
look on page four of your staff report, you will notice that there is three items listed there
as special considerations, but because they were not -- as I mentioned before, there
was a recommendation for denial that was taken forward to the Planning and Zoning
Commission, there were no conditions of approval. So, these are just special
considerations at this point. The first one deals with the landscape buffer. I do think it
would be appropriate to add a condition of approval, if the Council decides to approve
this application, that the applicant be required to obtain alternative compliance prior to
occupancy of the structure. The second one is a commitment by the applicant to put up
a nonclimbable fence along the Onweiler lateral, which abuts the property to the north.
Again, I feel that would be an appropriate condition of approval. And, then, Mrs.
Meridian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 21 of 84
Steeves testified that there was room for six double-parked vehicles. I did want to point
out that there is just five and that's why staff has said that they only meet the parking
requirements for the 30, not for the 40. Again, that's two in garage and, then, three
across the face of the property. The other commitments that we have heard tonight
from the applicant and the application's staff have been car pools, off-site parking,
walking, and no u -turns and although these have been offered, these -- typically we
don't put these as conditions of a pproval, because there would be no way for us to
enforce those in any effective manner. So, I just did want to point those out, in case the
applicant wanted to talk about any of those in their rebuttal.
De Weerd: Thank you, Anna. Okay. Just restate your name and address.
Nickle: Thank you, again, Madam Mayor and Council Members. Shawn Nickle. There
are basically three issues this evening. I think that the character of Mrs. Steeves has
been well add ressed and sol don't need tog 0 further into that. Those 0 ther - - the
issues are traffic, the noticing of this -- of this use to the neighborhood and, then, the
commercial use itself. In the red, that's what the sign said. As you know, those are very
large, white signs. It's been up for about two months and it specifically said 30 to 40
children. It even gave Condra Steeves' phone number for personal contact, if anyone
had any questions, if they are right out front, you couldn't miss it. The petitions that you
have in your packet and the letters I think support the immediate neighborhood that
Condra's intending to impact in that it's always been her intention to not impact the rest
of the subdivision, other than what's coming in off of Locust Grove. So, I think that's
important to understand. As far as safety and traffic, again, I think what really
impressed the Planning and Zoning Commission was the hours of operation, the 9:00 to
3:00, the fact that this is a -- not a daycare, but a preschool, so it follows the same hours
and times of year that a normal school -- in other words, they are out for summer, just
as the school kids would be. So, you're not going to have that conflict during the week
of children out playing w hen cars are coming and going during that Monday through
Friday time period. Yes, this is a commercial use. There may be other commercial
uses in the development, they mayor may not be allowed. We are doing the right thing
in coming to you and asking for approval of this application. I can't speak for the people
who mayor may not have done t hat, but we are doing that. T here is conditions of
approval that you can place 0 n this t hat I believe will help lessen the impact 0 n the
neighbors. The testimony you heard from neighbors just in the general area, I think,
show that this is a needed use in this type of subdivision. Council member Wardle
brought up why don't you -- why can't you use an existing office and I think Condra did a
good job of explaining she's looking for a more personal type of facility, one that's within
the subdivision that you don't have to necessarily drive to if you don't want to. One of
her teachers lives right down the block and would walk to the property. You're not going
to be located on an arterial street, so, you know, safety and noise would come into play
-- or would not come into play. Staff explained the screening and fencing, which we
have agreed to. Of course, the condition that this application -- this approval would stop
with Mrs. Steeves and would not go to another buyer of the property in the future and,
then, very quickly, the issue of the variance that was brought up with staff, Planning and
Zoning did not recommend that we get a variance. However, just so you know that by
Meridian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 22 of 84
asking for the variance we are not asking for -- in other words, there is plenty of room to
park to turn around cars and to provide a required parking without blocking any
sidewalks or blocking any traffic when cars come in and out to drop off their kids. So, I
think it's real important, the staggering of the children when they are dropped off, the
hours of operation, the Monday through Friday. The neighbors have been, I think, fully
noticed of this application and we have had neighborhood meetings -- they are well
informed, I do believe, and that's why I think you got the lack of testimony from those
neighbors on Cougar Creek, it was because of that extra effort that Mrs. Steeves went
through to inform them. I think that's all I have to say. I'd love to answer any questions
you have.
De Weerd: Council, do you have any questions? No. Thank you, Shawn.
Nickle: Okay. Thanks a lot.
De Weerd: Okay. Council, do you need any further information provided by the
applicant or staff? Okay.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I would move that we close Item No. 10's Public Hearing.
Rountree: Second.
De Weerd: It's been moved and seconded to close the Public Hearing on Item 10. All
those in favor say aye. All ayes. Motion carried.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
De Weerd: Discussion?
Rountree: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: I think the applicant is to be commended and there is certainly testimony
here this evening for her abilities and her personal traits and any comment I might say
from this point forward I don't intend to relate to that aspect of the application, but my
concern is is that we have an, obvious, commercial activity that is being proposed to
take place in an obvious residential neighborhood and that's evidenced by the fact of
the variances, the exceptions, the inability to meet the ordinance requirements that we
have established in the City of Meridian for commercial activities. It seems to me if I
were a commercial activity coming to the City of Meridian and wanted to start a
commercial activity and the city were to approve these kinds of things, I would seek the
Meridian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 23 of 84
sanctuary 0 f an R -8 subdivision a nd a void a number 0 f those things that we require
applicants and folks that do come to our city to establish businesses and run
businesses. Again, I understand the desire of the folks to have a close -- I think I
thoroughly understand the abilities of Mrs. Steeves, but I have an issue with the
commercial -- an obvious commercial activity in an obvious residential setting.
Wardle: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: My comments are much along the lines of Councilman Rountree's. I would like
to say that I am impressed with the fact that so many people have come in support of
this person's individual business and the way they conduct their business and certainly
believe that all of those things, car pooling, walking, and understand that all of those
would be part this application, but we have commercial areas for a reason and I think
this is -- this is an example of something that would fit into a neighborhood center. [t is
a neighbor business and we do have -- even in this area not very far up the street a
neighborhood center with some approved commercial zoning in areas and so I -- just
the exceptions being made here I feel are more appropriate, from our Comprehensive
Plan, in a like area with other businesses. And so I just wanted to say that as my
personal opinion, but, again, that this is certainly not any type of indication as to the
character of the applicant or the business itself.
De Weerd: Okay. Any further comment? I would offer another perspective and I would
agree that in some regards the parking and the drop off has some issues to it, but I
brought my kids to an in-home preschool setting and it does serve a function. Certainly,
the traffic and the parking and drop off type of situation could be better, but I'm
impressed with the fact that the neighbors that live on this street are not opposing it and
that they have done a good job in putting any concerns to rest in that regard. And so
that's very impressive. [think that most neighbors see that as an asset and certainly it
is an asset and why it's allowed in an R-8 is to provide a service to the neighborhood
and, yes, there are neighborhood centers for that, but not in these older parts before
neighborhood centers existed. So, I do believe there is a use for it. There are some
concerns on the drop off, but I -- and I do also believe in what Mrs. Steeves said is if
you locate in a commercial area, your prices do go up, because you do have to cover
the cost and the cost of the preschool and the hours are very low impact and that's
probably why you don't see a lot of the immediate neighbors here to testify against it.
And I guess ['II leave my comments at that. And there are illegal uses going on in our
neighborhoods and the city does need to know about those, because they do require
conditional use permits in the city and we don't advocate businesses operating illegally
out of our houses, even in R-8 subdivisions. And group homes, just for the record,
those are not considered a business, those are considered residential uses and we
have recently done a lot of research on that, so I just wanted to put that for the record
as well. Is there any further -- Mr. Bird.
Meridian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 24 of 84
Bird: Madam Mayor, I'll throw my two cents worth in here. I agree that I think that this is
a very nice application. She's done a great job, sold the neighbors and everything. Her
only problem is she come in to do it legally where, evidently, a whole bunch of them
don't do it legally and I appreciate that very much so. I think she's got a very worthwhile
business for that area. I don't believe the traffic bothers me that much, it's the fact of
having -- if we set precedence and all our -- we are going to have commercial
throughout our residential, which I don't think is a good policy. But I see nothing wrong
with this as an application. I think she's done very well and it's -- the people being here
speaks for itself how well she's done and the program she's put up and having seen
grandchildren go through these preschools and stuff, they are very needed, very
needed, and when you can -- you know, when you can pay three or four dollars a
square foot against 12 to 15 you would in commercial, more people can afford to go.
That's my thoughts.
Rountree: So, are you going to make a motion?
Bird: I probably wouldn't get a backing or a second.
Rountree: Go ahead.
Bird: But I will make it. I would move that we approve the CUP, the Conditional Use
Permit for a daycare facility for 30 to 40 children in an R-8 zone for Condra Steeves and
to incorporate staff, applicant, and public testimony. That's it.
De Weerd: Okay. I have a motion to approve Item No. 10. Do I have a second? Okay.
Motion fails.
Rountree: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: I move that we deny the request for Conditional Use Permit 04-029, request
for a Conditional Use Permit for a daycare facility for 30 to 40 children in an R-8 zone
for Condra Steeves and the reason for the denial as I stated earlier in my comments in

Canning: Do I get to play Bill Nichols? Since this is a Conditional Use Permit, usually
Bill asks that you -- Mr. Nary can chastise me later if he wants to, but, generally, we ask
that you give the applicant an idea of how they might be able to obtain approval in the
future.
De Weerd: And since I was just going to ask our attorney that, thank you.
Canning: I'm sorry.
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Well, the only position I heard Councilman Rountree indicate as -- that was the
incompatibility of the commercial use in the residential zone. Is that correct?
Rountree: Correct.
Nary: And so I'm sure that there -- I'm not sure whatever other information the Council
wants to include to allow the applicant that opportunity. I'm not sure what there would
be. But, certainly, if Council has something, you can certainly provide that to the
applicant.
De Weerd: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: Madam Mayor, something of a smaller scale, something consistent with an
ancillary use or the daycare provision that we have in residential areas for ancillary use
in the -- I believe it's five to six children for daycare or school or whatever, require that
the primary use of the facility be a residence, not a commercial establishment at a
minimum.
De Weerd: Okay. Is that enough for the record, Mr. Nary?
Nary: Yes, Madam Mayor.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you.
Bird: Does the second agree?

MOTION CARRIED: TWO AYES. ONE NAY.
Item 11:
Public Hearing: AZ 04-021 Request for Annexation and Zoning of 10
acres from RUT to R-8 zone for Arcadia Subdivision by C7 Development
- 3665 Jericho Road:
Item 12:
Public Hearing: PP 04-028 Request for Preliminary Plat approval for 33
single family residential building lots and 3 common lots on 10 acres in a
proposed R-8 zone for Arcadia Subdivision by C7 Development - 3665
Jericho Road:
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you, Mr. Berg. Okay. Item No. 11 and 12 are related. I will
open these two items, Public Hearing AZ 04-021 and PP 04-028. I will open with staff
comments.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, this is Arcadia Subdivision. It's a
request for annexation and zoning of ten acres from RUT to R-8. The property is
located just south of Jericho Road off of Chinden. There is a church, a school site,
some -- four new residential lots -- five new residential lots, some existing larger homes,
and you see the subject property here. This was the proposed Leeshire development.
This is the Saguaro Subdivision as was recently approved. There is currently an
existing home that will be removed. The proposed subdivision does have a number of
connecting streets. This, again, connects up to Jericho and they have a loop. This is
stubbed into the -- the former Leeshire development and this stub goes into Saguaro
Canyon. The applicant is proposing 33 building lots and three other lots. The open
space lots -- this is a -- a separation between the two homes there and, then, this is all
open space at the center. There is also open space at the entrance here and here.
The lots range in size from 6,540 square feet up to 12,493 square feet. The gross
density of the project is 3.3 dwelling units per acre and the plat contains approximately
12 percent open space, which exceeds the five percent minimum required. This not a
PUD, this is a straight subdivision. Just a moment, Mayor and Council, I'm looking for
the recommendation sheet for the summary from the Planning and Zoning Commission.
This does come forward with a recommendation f or approval from the Planning and
Zoning Commission. One neighbor testified in favor of the application. Four neighbors
testified in opposition to the application, citing concerns regarding traffic and the density
of the subdivision. The key issues of discussion by the Commission were the stub
streets to the neighboring properties and also the fencing along open space areas and
pathways. We had asked -- staff had requested that micro-path landscaping standards
be applied in this area, as well as all open space, which would mean that you could
have a four foot solid and two feet of open lattice fencing in those areas and there was
quite a bit of discussion. The applicant didn't want to be restricted to that. There was
discussion about it along this property line and also along this lot line as well. The
Planning and Zoning Commission did recommend that the micro-path landscape
provisions be provided adjoining this large open space lot in the center. They also
added a condition regarding the sewer easement. I'm going to let Brad handle that one.
It's a sewer easement in the northeast corner of the subdivision and I think it was
Meridian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 27 of 84
related to recent developments between Leeshire and Saguaro, but those issues may
have changed. And with that I'm going to let Brad update you.
Watson: Madam Mayor and Council Members, I did have one revision to make to
condition seven in the staff report and that change is necessary because of the denial of
Leeshire. Condition seven, fourth sentence, this development will require a second
water main connection to provide for better flows and redundancy within the system,
which this can be accomplished through Leeshire Subdivision or Saguaro Canyon and
we need to add the phrase: Or other adjacent property. It just takes the specificity out
of Leeshire and Saguaro Canyon and as to the sewer easement condition that the
Commission changed on the staff recommendation, that's fine. So, with that I think staff
is done.
De Weerd: Okay. Any questions for staff at this time, Council?
Bird: I would have none.
Rountree: None.
De Weerd: Okay. Is the applicant here? If you will, please, state your name and
address.
McKinnon: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. Dave McKinnon, 735
South Crosstimber. I know it might be shocking, we are not asking for a super-size
subdivision tonight, we are not asking for --
De Weerd: Or variances.
McKinnon: Or a variance 0 rap lanned development with the subdivision. This is a
straightforward subdivision with a straightforward annexation. After annexation of the
Saguaro Subdivision, which you recently approved, as part of Saguaro Subdivision's
approval you required that they have a stub street in the northwest corner of this small
piece of property, which we have provided for, and that will provide access out to
Chinden Boulevard, which is a requirement that you made for Saguaro, so we are,
actually, helping Saguaro meet their requirements that you suggested. I'd like to
address Anna's comments real quick. First of all, I'd just like to take you through the
subdivision really quick and explain to you the reasons why the subdivision is designed
the way it is. Coming down off of Jericho from Chinden Boulevard there is currently a
small house that sits right here with a lot of large landscaping trees surrounding that and
rather than just trying to get rid of all the trees and jam in as many lots as we could, we
decided to keep as many of the large trees that we could. Meridian doesn't have a
great deal of trees and these are large mature trees, so we have tried to maintain and
keep as many trees as possible, bringing the road through where the house was and
there are a couple of trees that will have to go, but we have added quite a bit of open
space, which will be landscaped to provide for additional trees. Coming into the
subdivision, instead of seeing houses directly into the subdivision, you see open space,
Meridian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 28 of 84
as Anna pointed out. Actually, there is about 12 percent open space. Again, this isn't a
PUD where we have to have ten-percent, we are, you know, by choice giving 12
percent open space to the subdivision. The reason for that is to try to create a different
feel from the other standard subdivisions that you see in Meridian. Again, if you look at
the subdivision, there is a stub street into Saguaro, a stub street into the -- I guess it's
the untimely demise of Leeshire Subdivision, with Twilight Hush Avenue being the
name, and coming back around and access back out to Chinden through there. The
reason for the loop is to try to limit the amount of traffic coming in and out on one street.
Anna pointed out a couple of small issues that were discussed quite a bit at
Commission. The fencing issue -- and I'm going to probably lean on your new city
attorney, Councilman Nary, just a little bit for some help on this tonight. The Planning
and Zoning Commission at the meeting decided that because this was an open space
area and the landscape ordinance does not address fencing for open space areas, it
addresses micro-path areas only, they said that they would need to have a development
agreement that says that this should be fenced in accordance with landscape
ordinance, even though it didn't -- doesn't specifically say micro-path. There is no
micro-path proposed for this area, it's just open space, and we said if a fence is
provided, we will meet that requirement and so we felt that it would be something that
could be provided without a development agreement. The only reason for the
development agreement was to put in language to say that if fencing goes in on this
area, it has to meet the requirements. We are more than willing to comply with that and
put fencing in there, if fencing is put in and the neighbors, if they put fencing in there,
choose to put fencing in, it would comply with that section of code for micro-path
landscaping. So, I -- I want to call you commissioner, now Councilman, now City
Attorney Nary, I need you to help us out with that. I don't want to take away work from
him, but if there is a way to get around doing a development agreement and having to
review a development agreement only regarding fencing, we think there may be a way
out of that by just making it a condition of approval for the annexation, rather than going
through a lengthy development agreement and having to go through that process. In
addition to that, Brad Watson just briefly just touched on the sewer easement in this
area. The reason for the sewer easement -- there may be some confusion there.
Initially, the staff report from Ada County Highway District requested what would be
considered -- and it's stated in their staff report -- as a quasi stub street in this location.
In questioning Ada County staff as to what a quasi stub street is, they said, well, it's a
place where you might be able to have a stub street in the future, if there is ever a need
for a stub street, and in discussing with the Planning and Zoning Commission, there
was an access to a school site here, there is an elementary school site just to the
northeast of this project, with an access just to the north here, and Planning and Zoning
Commission felt that there was no need for a stub street there, so they got rid of the
requirement for the stub street in that place, so they said, you know what, in the future
there may need to be a sewer extension coming through along this side, the east side of
the project, so they said put the sewer stub right here and provide an easement across
right here, rather than provide a stub street. And we have talked with the owner of the
property right here -- Anna, if you can go back to the overhead, the aerial. There we go.
This piece of property right here. We have talked with this property owner right here
and he's agreed to allow us to stub to that piece of property, so in the future if it
Meridian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 29 of 84
develops, sewer can be brought to that piece of property, rather than on the street, but
rather as a sewer easement and we are in agreement with that. The P&Z Commission
didn't make an explicit statement that is reflected in the staff report, but the reason for
the sewer easement there was to get rid of the requirement for a stub street, the quasi
stub street as Ada County Highway District reflected that on their report. With that, I
guess the major issues that the Commission had we resolved those with you. As you
see in your staff report, there weren't any major issues left to resolve that they
forwarded to you. There is still some time left, but I don't believe there is a great deal
that needs to be discussed from me that you can't already see or that has been
presented to you at this time and if you have any questions for me at this time and turn
the time back to you.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Bird.
Bird: Go back to the overhead. How do you get into that property right now?
McKinnon: Right now? We come in off of Jericho from Chinden Boulevard, which is the
only access currently. Leeshire Subdivision, which was recently denied, which they are
reworking 0 n, we provided a stub street to the south, a connection to Locust Grove.
Saguaro Subdivision in its later phases will provide a stub street to here. But for right
now there is one way in on Jericho and one way out.
De Weerd: Okay. Council, any other questions?
Bird: I have none at this point.
Rountree: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: Go back to the plat, please. Thank you. The lot sizes that are adjacent to
Saguaro --
McKinnon: The lot sizes -- Anna, if you can help me out, seeing it from your computer,
if you can read those 0 r not real clearly. These are in the 7,000 to 8,000 range. I
believe this is a 6,540 lot right here. Saguaro, as you remember, had smaller lots up on
this side, and they reduced a couple of them to make them bigger, but they were,
actually, the smaller size.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Councilmember Rountree, they are -- that one is just about
7,000. That's 7,800,7,500, 7,500, 7,000, 7,500. These get bigger. 11,433 and, then,
10,000.
Rountree: Thank you.
Meridian City Council
October 5. 2004
Page 30 of 84
McKinnon: Thank you.
De Weerd: Dave, I guess I have a question as to -- I know this is an in-fill project, but
why -- why at these densities? It's stuck in the middle of nothing right now, but why an
R-8?
McKinnon: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, the R-8 zone affords a reduced lot
frontage. If you get into densities, which we are dealing with 3.3 units to the acre, the
Comprehensive Plan requests three to eight units to the acre and so, actually, the
density is well on the shallow end of that, rather than trying to cram a large number in,
there is actually less than what would be allowed in the R-4 zone. As you know, the R-8
zone affords for a variety of lot sizes and lot frontage dimensions. With a ten acre piece
of property, without having a super-size subdivision to deal with large land masses and
to be able to created the typical 80 by 100 lot, the R-8 zone affords the smaller lots, as
well as the larger lots, without having to just go with the straight 80 by 100 lot you
typically see in an R-4 zone, but as far as density goes, this falls below the typical R-4
zoning density. So, we are not asking for a large density increase for this area. This
actually would fall within an R-4 zoning density, but it has a variety of lot sizes that
wouldn't be allowed in the R-4.
De Weerd: All right. I guess my last question would be why now when you're going to
be putting this traffic out onto Chinden?
McKinnon: Why -- how many --
De Weerd: Why are you wanting to develop now without the other accesses out onto
the arterials, rather than Chinden?
McKinnon: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, the 33 lots, if you take the average
daily trips, we are looking at about 300 vehicle trips per day and that's not a significant
increase on Chinden Boulevard, which currently carries in the tens of thousands of
vehicle trips per day. Leeshire Subdivision we had hoped that, you know, things would
work out with the city at this time to provide a secondary access out. We can't control
the speed of development with Saguaro Canyon. However, as you know, development
is happening at a faster pace all the time. We believe that, you know, the 300 units out
to -- 300 vehicle trips per day out to Chinden Boulevard would not significantly increase
the amount of traffic on Chinden at this time. You will see a much greater traffic impact
when Saguaro and the resulting development around this area develops to its fullest.
This is, actually, just a small development, which will provide a small impact.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Rountree: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Rountree.

Rountree: I'm sure I have the answer here on my PC, but has this been coordinated
with the district department of transportation?
McKinnon: Yes.
Rountree: And their comments were --
McKinnon: The comments were it's an existing access on Jericho; they are not going to
shut Jericho down.
Rountree: Any concern about left turn movements from Chinden into this area for
safety on a two-lane facility?
McKinnon: Madam Mayor, Commissioner Rountree, as you know, Chinden Boulevard
for this area there has been studies that have been completed and there is a plan in the
-- I wish I could say the very near future, but I can't say that right now, but to widen
Chinden in the future and to provide additional lanes for Chinden. Chinden is a very
large growth corridor and they plan on widening Chinden in the future.
Rountree: Madam Mayor, if Dave will indulge me -- and this, really, hasn't -- question
isn't specifically to do with this development, but in the past few months -- actually,
weeks, we have seen this -- we have seen Leeshire and we have seen Saguaro and we
have seen a couple other fairly large subdivisions in this general area. What could the
city do to facilitate the various landowners that all of a sudden decided they want to
develop, to get them together and master plan larger areas of land, as opposed to this
ten acres, you have got five and seven acres to your west of this facility that's in this
area that's going to -- who knows, in the next few weeks we might be seeing those as
well. And I'm having a hard time making sense of all of these little incremental
developments that are going on in this particular area. We haven't seen it so much in
some of the other areas of the city, but right here it's -- it's going to be a jig saw puzzle
before we are done and I'm not sure we are going to like what we are going to have.
McKinnon: Boy, that -- Madam Mayor and Councilmember Rountree, boy, that's a tall
order to answer in just a few minutes.
Rountree: Just some insight, because you're working on that side of the fence.
McKinnon: On this side of the fence now and having worked on the other side of the
fence the last few years, there is a lot that can be done. The City of Meridian Planning
and Zoning Department -- I know in talking with Anna and having worked in it, they are
burdened at this time. The comprehensive planning process I think was probably the
most appropriate process for handling this. There was a great deal of thought, a lot of
community involvement that went through this in the last few years, where the
community was gathered and the map right here, there was a lot of discussion as to
how was this going to be developed and those people were brought together at the
Meridian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 32 of 84
same time in the same room. Comprehensive plans have a way of doing that. In recent
discussions between yourself and other developers there has been discussion to revive
the -- I guess what's now dead, the north Meridian plan. Under the north Meridian plan
there will be a large group of people who are really very interested in finding out what
would happen with their property. There was some discussion amongst the developers
and amongst members of staff that the Comprehensive Plan needs some work in this
area and one of the ways to do that would be to hold additional hearings to change that
and that would be probably through the north Meridian plan. That would be the best
way to get the groups of people together. As far as controlling the development, there
is no way to control who is willing to pay what and how much and it's going to be very
hard to determine which company would be the right company to gather everybody and
to master plan for the area. However, the city itself can do master planning for specific
areas. That was one of the ideas of the Comprehensive Plan was to provide for
neighborhood planning in specific areas in the future, but that's something that takes
time to do and it's hard to do that with a burdened staff.
Rountree: Thank you.
De Weerd: I guess, though, Dave, we do know that the Comprehensive Plan and the
north Meridian plan don't offer the specifics I think that Councilman Rountree is talking
about to see how it would connect and how we -- how all of these started fitting together
and I realize that the other portions of the north Meridian area we've seen have been
large tracts of land and so that has given us benefits seeing what the big picture looks
like. And I would agree with Councilman Rountree, if there is a way that we can start
pulling this together and seeing it in a larger -- even if it's one landowner at a time, but if
we see the bigger picture, it does make for a better community plan.
McKinnon: I would agree with that. Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, the
Comprehensive Plan does address that. There is a need for neighborhood planning for
specific areas. There is, actually, a goal statement in the Comprehensive Plan to
provide for specific neighborhood design. I can tell you that this developer, as well as
myself, I have met with the property owner to the northeast, the property owner to the
south at Leeshire, Grant Lee, as you know I worked on the Saguaro Subdivision, this
isn't something that's been piecemealed together, we have had some access issues we
have had to work with. Leeshire Subdivision to the south, initially we had a different
location for the stub street to the south, we have worked with them to provide the stub
street there. We have worked with Saguaro to meet their stub street requirements. So,
there is a great deal of interaction between developers to try to create that, but, as you
know, in the free market economy that we live in, it's very hard to determine how many
and how much the price is going to go for and what can happen until a master plan
does happen and there isn't one yet.
De Weerd: Thank you.
McKinnon: Thank you.

De Weerd: Okay. We do have a Public Hearing. I do have one person signed up,
Mark -- Mike, I believe? I'm sorry. Mark.
Miller: Sorry I scribbled.
De Weerd: Now have you been sworn in?
Miller: Not -- I will.
De Weerd: Okay. Is the testimony you provide tonight the truth, the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Miller: Yes.
De Weerd: Thank you. If you will, please, state your name and spell your last name,
and provide your address.
Miller: My name is Mark Miller, 1906 East Dunwoody Court. I just wanted to come up
and actually kind of ask the Council to look again at the bigger picture of what's
happening inn orth Meridian. I think the comments that you have already made a re
completely appropriate. You can see -- can you just show the overhead aerial? You
can see the issues in addition for what -- I live over here on Dunwoody, but the
piecemeal approach to developing this area certainly brings up the issues that you have
already talked about. This one is pretty small, but we look at this one and this one and
wonder what in the world could somebody propose to try to jigsaw puzzle all these
things in together. So, we had come to Planning and Zoning and asked them to please
-- because even though this is medium density residential and their lot sizes actually fit
R-4 zoning, that we have it zoned as R-4 and it at the very least would allow the rest of
the things that fill in around here to have at least a better community. I think what we
are worried about the most is the general community of this northeast part of Meridian
and the way it's developing and we would love to have a master plan that would require
everybody to get together. I think that should be possible. Obviously, there is financial
interests other ways that are pressuring people to do other things, but we are talking
about the community in 10,20, 30, 50 years from now and that's the whole reason for a
plan is to protect the way things will be long in the future. The other reason I came
today is -- can you put up the master city plan for me?
Canning: The zoning map?
Miller: Just the master city -- the future land use map. Do you have that? The same
thing that's down here on the ground.
Canning: Hold one.
Miller: If you will notice -- it's hard to see here, but we talked about this at the Leeshire
Meeting, there is a -- there is a multi-use pathway that my wife talked about, she's the
Meridian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 34 of 84
mother of f our kids a nd triplets and we walk all the time, we are planning on using,
hopefully, this neighborhood center and the ideal situation will be here, but if there is not
a plan to keep this multi-use pathway in this master plan, we may have a problem and
you will notice that the multi-use pathway cuts the corner of this ten acre property and
there is no alternative plan for the multi-use pathway. There has been a question as to
whether you could connect through a -- through Larkwood Subdivision here, but there
probably will be some real issues, possibly even legal, of getting a multi-use pathway
through an already developed agricultural neighborhood. So, we'd love to have the
continuity of the multi-use pathway, because we think it's important for the master plan
of this northern area, it needs to be addressed. There is certainly an easy possibility to
keep it connected as it follows the post -- the back end of this church property, requiring
Leeshire and we just request that since -- if things do end up having to be piecemeal,
that the master plan at least be followed the way it is and if we do decide to put an extra
multi-use pathway in here, it would hurt nobody to have two multi-use pathways or an
extra way for people to run or get to a park, but I think there just needs to be a larger
picture evaluated and we would request that maybe we could make this into R-4 zoning,
if -- we'd prefer to have everything develop around the same time or at least have some
type of master plan and require the owners of the properties to make a little bit more of
an effort to do something that's better for the city and better for the area, but I just -- I
think what my wife wanted to -- let me come down and leave the kids, so we can put
them to bed, was to tell you to, please, leave the master plan the way it is and, please,
require these developers to put in things that are already amenities that are planned.
Thank you.
De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. Is there any further testimony? Okay.
McKinnon: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. Mark hit on a couple
really good issues and I'd just like to --
De Weerd: Just restate your name.
McKinnon: Dave McKinnon, 735 South Crosstimber.
De Weerd: Thank you.
McKinnon: The micro-path -- I guess the large pathway system, as you will recall from
a month and a half ago -- or maybe it was longer ago than that, the Saguaro Canyon
Subdivision, there was a lot of discussion about the multi-use pathway and as you will
recall, the multi-use pathway determined that coming off of the canal right here there
was a large 100 foot wide landscape easement that was there and we decided to put in
a ten foot wide pathway there, rather than a sidewalk. That was in lieu of the pathway
coming up on this side of Larkwood. There is a ten-foot wide pathway going up through
Saguaro Canyon Subdivision, up to the mid point. At the mid point there was
discussion of taking that pathway, bringing it up with a six foot wide detached sidewalk
from the center of the subdivision through Leeshire Subdivision to provide the access,
rather than having the smaller -- it kind of comes up and around this direction to avoid
Meridian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 35 of 84
Larkwood. That way we would have a pathway that comes up, provides access to the
school site, and to the site of the Ashenbrenner piece of property. In addition to that,
there is a sewer easement that's hopeful to come through here and come through
Larkwood. The pathway itself was intended to come through at this point with the sewer
easement as well. So, there is a pathway already that was approved with the Saguaro
Canyon Subdivision. So, the pathway is something that was addressed, even though
Saguaro Canyon only had a minor portion of that. So, the pathway actually comes up
and, then, runs through this direction all the way out to Locust Grove, rather than only
having the single access way to the south on Locust Grove. So, that has been
addressed. A couple other issues that Mark hit on is the hodge-podge and we have
talked a little bit about that. In your Comprehensive Plan there is a number of policies
that are listed. A number of those policies include interconnectivity, a variety of different
housing types and that's what this is providing. There are some limitations with this site.
It's ten acres. It does have some in-fill as you said, and we are trying to provide as best
we can for those policies. If you can flip back to the overhead, again, Anna. I guess the
-- the project. There we go. If you can go one more just into the subdivision. There we
go. We tried to provide open space, a variety of different housing types. The open
space requirement -- you know, we have provided more than what's necessary. This is
a small piece of property. Provided three stub streets on ten acres, 12 percent open
space, and we have tried to provide all the amenities that you would see in a bigger
subdivision on a small subdivision. And, actually, more amenities with the open space.
We feel that the attempts to keep the trees here to try to reduce the amount of work that
your new attorney has to do by getting rid of the development agreement are all positive
things. If there is anything that we can do to accommodate, you know, the greater area,
we would try to do that. As you know, the development community all know each other
and t hey work together. We feel that t his piece 0 f - - this piece 0 f property with the
accesses to all the adjoining properties has met the intent of the Comprehensive Plan.
The 3 .3 dwelling units per a cre meets t he density requirements of t he three toe ight
units per acre for the Comprehensive Plan and we'd ask for your approval at this time.
De Weerd: Thank you. Any questions?
Rountree: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: ACHD has indicated that Jericho will be extended from the north of the
property. What's the intent there? What's a typical section, what's the surfacing, what's
the drainage, who is going to be responsible?
McKinnon: Who is going to be responsible for the construction of Jericho all the way
out?
Rountree: The care and feeding of it once it's done.
McKinnon: Ada County Highway District.

Rountree: Okay. What's a typical section?
McKinnon: What's a typical section? With the amount of vehicle trips, it would be
probably a 36-foot street section, with a 50-foot right of way. T his is not a collector
status street, but it is a local street. It doesn't fall in the half mile. Typically 36 paved.
Rountree: Drained? That's all I have. Thanks, Dave.
McKinnon: Okay. Thanks.
De Weerd: Are there any other questions? Okay. Thank you. Okay. Council?
Wardle: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: Just -- not to bring the other -- other developments into the concern of this, but
one of the things that we heard -- and we have heard in past areas from neighbors and
from some of the people around this is buffering and difference of lot sizes and I believe
we had a conversation last week or several weeks ago that the difference between
6,200 square feet and 6,700 square feet was not a differential in lot size. And I do see
this here. I see the difference between 6,500 and 12,000 feet and I see some buffering
and so I would just like to point that out from my opinion of what -- what's different about
this development versus some of the others that we have seen in the area. And the fact
-- again, the fact that we are not seeing a PUD used to -- to try to create smaller lot
sizes, to create different housing types, they have done that within the R-8 zone and
kept the density down, so just some of my observations.
De Weerd: Thank you. Staff, I know in the development to the south of this, the
pathway was brought up. Has staff -- is it staff's recommendation to not carry that line
on our Comprehensive Plan up through the property to the south, that it won't have an
affect on this?
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I suppose staff's recommendation is
that it -- that it follow this sewer easement through this subdivision and connect up to
Saguaro, but I would have to admit that it's a rather weak recommendation and the
reason that we have gone back and forth on this is that that line is not following any
natural feature and we have discovered that the -- that the quality of those open spaces
is sometimes not all that great. They end up following just on -- into the sides of streets,
because there is not a physical constraint to development in that area, they often end
up just being on the streets and, actually, that's the way it was in Saguaro anyway, but it
followed a linear pathway system, if you remember on Saguaro. So, it was kind of
creating a little bit better of effect of pedestrian or bicycle atmosphere. We were very
concerned that it wouldn't get passed the L DS church in this location, given that it's
already developed. Coming up through here became difficult and, again, there is just
Meridian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 37 of 84
no natural feature for it to follow. The Saguaro one did come up and end -- I think right
about where Mr. Grant's house is, even with it. So, it's kind of ended in this area. We
had talked about continuing it on the street through Leeshire and, then, the
neighborhood center is, technically, in this area. And Brad would like to add to that, too.
Watson: Madam Mayor and Council Members, I guess I wasn't aware that anyone was
considering a sewer easement for a public pathway. We are in negotiations with these
property owners and Larkwood Subdivision and I very much expect that one of the
limitations on their granting an easement, if they do, would be that the public not be
walking through their side-yards. Just getting a sewer easement with gates on each
side with emergency access only would be a bonus to me, putting aside the public
pathway. That's alii have. Thank you.
De Weerd: Thank you, Mr. Watson.
Wardle: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: Not seeing the parks director here, I will just have -- relate some of the
discussions we have had in my work on the parks commission, on the pathways
committee, and now as the liaison to the parks department and that is the fact that when
looking at the master plan for the parks system and the pathway system, the overall
idea was conceptual and so what we are finding is that by working with the development
community at this point in time, the parks department is able to provide some
connectivity and so just to talk about some of the things that Anna has mentioned, we
are finding out within the pathways committee and that is that the lines were not always
drawn on a natural feature, such as an irrigation ditch or some sort of an area that
would just naturally be able to, with some work and cooperation with the irrigation
district, be able to turn into a natural pathway for the community, so just offer that.
De Weerd: Okay. Well, Mr. Wardle and Anna, I hope now that we have a
transportation planner, that we start having a stronger master plan for these pathways,
so we do know what the expectations are and how we are connecting up. The
alternative forms and how we connect are important for our community and so it was a
topic that was brought in the application to the south of this piece that seemed to still be
unanswered and this is our only chance on this one.
Canning: Madam Mayor, may I make a soap box comment, since I have a few
developers captive, at least one of them.
De Weerd: You bet.
Canning: There is no reason that a pathway couldn't be built with a nice feel to it or a
secluded feel to it, even though it's not following a natural feature. We have just not
seen anybody bring one in so far.

Page 38 of 84
McKinnon: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, just a few comments. That was a
big issue for Saguaro. There wasn't any way for it to connect and so that's the reason
why they brought it in up off of McMillan, was because there was no other way to bring it
in, other than if it was coming in off of Leeshire, which, actually, doesn't follow the
master plan, because the master plan for the pathway shows it much further to the
south than coming in off of Leeshire, but we felt there should be an additional
connection. That's the reason why it was to go through there. Brad pointed out
accurately that the Larkwood Homeowners Association didn't want to have a pathway
there, but we have provided within Saguaro the opportunity for that to happen if there
was ever a desire for Larkwood to accommodate that and that's part of the reason that
we did that. And, finally, just -- if you had had a chance to look at the ground truthing of
the pathway system, there is two of them that I really enjoy within the Comprehensive
Plan that I think you have all seen before. There is micro-path -- if you can go back to
the Comprehensive Plan, Anna. My favorite one is the micro-path that goes across 1-84
and the micro-path that crosses Victory Road three times within a quarter mile. So, it
gets to be a little awkward. Having worked on this Comprehensive -- right here it
crosses one, two, three times in a quarter mile. None of them are at intersections,
across a 50-mile an h our road. And this micro-path that crosses 1-84 is a personal
favorite. The idea is to try to get those to come to happen, but they weren't ground
truthed and that was a discussion that we have had and it's a discussion that we have
had for years on this Comprehensive Plan is how are we going to get these to happen
and so in order to accommodate some things, they accommodated the pathway to
come up through Saguaro to provide access to the school site and provide access out
to Locust Grove and, as you know in the future, as McMillan builds out on the north side
you will probably see the pathway continue along McMillan, a larger pathway, because
of the Lemp Canal that sits on the north side of McMillan. It doesn't provide for the easy
access for sidewalks.
De Weerd: Well, Dave, I think you have earned a berth on the pathway committee,
since you have favorites, as you want to note.
McKinnon: As you know, I'm happy to serve.
De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. Council.
Nary: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Nary.
Nary: There was the question about the development agreement Mr. McKinnon raised.
In looking at the minutes it appears originally -- and I guess I wanted Mrs. Canning's
opinion -- originally it appeared that the fencing issue was felt resolved by the staff by
preliminary plat conditions and, then, the discussion at the Planning and Zoning
Commission seemed to, then, move to a development agreement and Mr. McKinnon
sort of agreed with that, in having that, and I guess I'm unclear as to why that digressed,
Meridian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 39 of 84
even in looking at the minutes. Obviously, there is a concern about making sure they
are site obscuring, that there is no sight obscuring fencing around that common area
and along the micro-path, as well as the rest of the common area, but we have dealt
with those before through preliminary plat conditions and we don't always do those two
development agreements, so I guess I wasn't clear from looking at the minutes why it
digressed to that.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, Mr. Nary -- that's going to take
awhile. You know, I -- in all honesty, I don't remember much of the discussion, other
than the staff planner just had somehow brought it up, So, I don't feel strongly about it
at all. I don't understand why we couldn't do it as a condition of approval. I don't know if
she had gotten legal advice from White Peterson to the contrary, but I'm not sure on that
Issue.
Nary: Yeah. I read the staff attorney's comments there and I think it was the same
thing, they seemed to get on this tack of having a development agreement, but, you
know, it appears for that -- for that particular use -- or particular issue they wanted to be
concerned with a plat condition that's adequate I think to meet the same desire, to make
sure there is four foot fencing, if there is fencing. If there is less than -- it can be more
than if it's non-sight obscuring. I think all of those can be down through the conditions of
approval, so --
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you. Okay. Council? Or do you need to -- good. I wasn't
going to recognize you anyway.
Nary: Quit when you're ahead.
De Weerd: Is there something important you wish to add? Okay. Council?
Wardle: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: Hearing no more public comment, I would move to close the Public Hearing.
Rountree: Second.
De Weerd: It's been moved and seconded to close the public hearings on Items 11 and
12. Is that the motion?
Wardle: Yes.
De Weerd: Okay. All those in favor say aye. All ayes. Motion carries.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Meridian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 40 of 84
Wardle: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: Before I make a motion, Brad, you had mentioned that item number seven --
was your intent to remove the recommendation of -- or sewer through Leeshire and
Saguaro Canyon and replace that with other adjacent property owners or to add other
adjacent property owners?
Watson: Madam Mayor and Council member Wardle, the latter. Just add other adjacent
property owners, because without Leeshire they are stuck with Saguaro, which won't
work.
Wardle: And, then, another question for Mr. Nary. Mr. Nary, was the condition of
recommendation placed to require a development agreement? Would we have to
remove that condition and, then, add a plat condition?
Bird: Madam Mayor, Councilmember Wardle, yes, you need to change those
recommendations.
Wardle: On both applications?
Nary: Yes.
Wardle: With that, Madam Mayor, I move that we approve AZ 04-021, annexation and
zoning for Arcadia Subdivision, to remove the specific condition requiring a
development agreement, to place in its place a condition that no sight obscuring fencing
be placed near the micro-path or the open area and to change condition number seven
requiring -- to add the phrase: Or other adjacent property in reference to obtaining
sewer connection.
Canning: Councilmember Wardle, the micro-path fencing that we had discussed earlier
does allow four foot of solid fencing and, then, two feet of lattice. I believe your motion
just said no sight obscuring. I just wanted to clarify is that what you -- is that what you
really wanted?
Wardle: Yes. As I recall, the developer agreed to -- to that specific fencing type, if the
neighbors were to put the fences up.
Canning: Okay.
De Weerd: Okay. Do I have a second?
Rountree: Second.
Meridian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 41 of 84
De Weerd: Okay. It's been moved and seconded to a pprove Item No. 11 with the
amendment as noted. Is there any further discussion?
Rountree: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: If we move forward with this motion in an affirmative way, is it consistent with
the recommendation and decision that we put forth on the Leeshire Subdivision? I can't
remember exactly the reasons for denial of that and I want to make sure that we are
consistent here. I think it had to do more with -- yeah, density and lack of a mix of lots.
It was pretty -- it was either one great big lot or a bunch of little tiny ones.
Nary: Madam Mayor, Council member Rountree, I believe that's correct. I don't know
that we have seen those, have we? We haven't seen them, but you're correct, it was
based on the fact there was one large lot, there was this division almost in the middle of
the subdivision, you had all small lots on one side of it, that -- some of it was the
density, but a lot of it was the design. Right.
De Weerd: The green space.
Nary: The green space was Mr. Lee's yard.
Rountree: I just wanted to bring that out, so --
De Weerd: Okay.
Rountree: -- get my memory refreshed.
De Weerd: Okay. Any further discussion? Mr. Berg, will you call roll.
Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Wardle, yea.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
De Weerd: Okay.
Wardle: Madam Mayor, I move that we approve Item No. 12, PP 04-028, preliminary
plat for Arcadia Subdivision, to add to condition number seven the phrase: Or other
adjacent property in reference to gaining sewer connection, to remove the condition for
a development agreement and to add a condition which would limit specifically the
fencing type discussed in the Public Hearing to the micro-path and the open space.
Rountree: Second.
Meridian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 42 of 84
De Weerd: Okay. It's been moved and seconded to approval Item 12 with the changes
as noted. Any further discussion? Mr. Berg.
Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Wardle, yea.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. Item 13 is Public Hearing VAR 04-006. ['II open this
Public Hearing with staff comments. No. I'm opening the Public Hearing with staff
comments. Thank you.
Rountree: Can we take a break?
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, this is a request for a variance--
De Weerd: Anna, I think we are going to take a ten-minute break per Council's request.
(Recess.)
Item 13:
Public Hearing: VAR 04-006 Request for a Variance from MCC 11-10-6
to allow a childcare/preschool for five or fewer children to be operated in a
required garage area of a single-family home in an R-4 zone for Earl and
Donna Bohrn by Earl and Donna Bohrn - 1451 North Santa Rosa Place:
De Weerd: I wil[ call this meeting back to order. Okay. We are on Item 13 and I will
open the Public Hearing on V AR 04-006 with staff comments.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council --
De Weerd: Oh, Anna, ['m sorry, just to note, we did receive a letter. The author of the
letter did ask that it be kept confidential. When we receive letters from the public it is
open to the public, so we don't have the choice to honor that. I just wanted to note that
for anyone who might be curious in the public.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, this is a variance to the code
requirement that requires that every residential house have a garage capable of
housing two automobiles. The subject property, as you can see, it's in the Vineyards
Subdivision located off of Under and Cherry. It is also a developed neighborhood. I
was going to run through some of the exhibits. This is the Bohrn's home and you can
see t he two car garage door is still in p lace. The third bay of t he garage has been
replaced with a window and a door -- with a door entry. This was the site plan that
came in for the accessory use. Okay. I'm going to go back now and touch on some of
the history of this application. Mrs. Bohrn applied for an accessory use permit in May of
this year to operate a preschool for five or fewer children in her home and we did send
out notice to abutting property owners about the proposed use and we published in the
Statesman and there were no 0 bjections filed within t he allowed time period. When
Meridian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 43 of 84
staff had taken in the application, at first glance it appeared that these asterisks are the
locations where the preschool would be going on and it was our understanding that the
preschool would be in that third bay of the garage, not in the entire garage area. Prior
to approval of the accessory use permit Ms. Allen went out to inspect the facility and
was -- unfortunately, had to tell Mrs. Bohrn that she could not use the whole garage,
that she still needed to have a garage capable of handling two children -- or two cars.
Excuse me. Had we known that in advance -- which often happens when accessory
use permits come in, the garage is often where they do want to have the use occur and
we tell them right off the bat that it can't -- you still have to have a garage for your home,
that where there is a third bay of the garage, you can use that third bay for an accessory
use permit, such as a home occupation or a day care for five or fewer children. The
Bohrns are now, as I said, asking for a variance to allow them to use those -- that
garage as -- the full garage as the preschool area. Upon notice to the surrounding
property owners, we did get several objections this time, mostly in regard to the use of
the daycare being operated out of the garage. The reasons for the objections were a
business in the home is against CC&Rs, the preschool would create additional traffic,
which would be a hazard to pedestrians and autos, concerns about the impact on
property values of adjacent homes, another child care facility not needed due to the two
existing facilities in close proximity, on-street parking and safety concerns for children
being dropped off or picked up and the potential noise created by children. Staff was
not able to make the findings for denial, so the staff recommendation is -- I mean --
excuse me. Staff was not able to make the recommendation to approve the variance or
not able to make the findings for the variance, so we are recommending denial. And I
will leave that as staff's presentation.
De Weerd: Okay. Council, any questions for staff a t this time? Okay. Would the
applicant like to come forward? And I know you have been sworn in. If you will, please,
state your name and address.
Bohrn: My name is Donna Bohrn and IJjve at 1451 North Santa Rosa Place.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Bohrn: I am aware that you probably have the packet that has all the complaints and
stuff like that, is that true?
De Weerd: Uh-huh.
Bohrn: Okay. One of the things I'd first like to start off with is I thank you for listening to
me tonight, taking your time to make this decision. I have been dealing with this since
May and I'm very passionate about this. I came from Nevada a year ago and I ran a
very successful business out of my home in a subdivision there. I ran through over 120
kids through my program and got them prepared for kindergarten. I just want to start
out in my home, because I'm unfortunate where I can't go out and rent retail space to
allow me to do this. So, I thought I could just do it in my home. I thought my home was
my home and I thought what i had done on the inside of mine and I found out since that
Meridian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 44 of 84
time that it's not. A lot of people, if you looked around this room, probably half of us
have had a dream of wanting to open our own business, to run our open business, to be
our own boss. There has been several people -- famous people that have started their
business in their garages. Bill Gates. Dell Computers. Some bands, like Simple Plan.
Just to mention a few. I wasn't aware that I had made so much trouble in the
neighborhood. I barely received today this packet. I was shocked when I heard all the
bad things, comments and stuff that -- you know, here I was trying to do this legal, I
have been doing its ince Maya nd here n ow a II of a sudden I find 0 ut that a II these
people are objecting to me because of traffic. One of the things that was in the packet
that disturbed me was a whole bunch of pictures -- and I don't know -- Anna, do you
have them up to show?
Canning: No, we just had photocopied ones. I can use the photocopied ones.
Bohrn: That are up -- that you can put up there? What was bothering me is that they
put that there was the traffic impact. These pictures that were in this packet that was e-
mailed to me are taken in the evening. I don't have anything going on yet. I don't have
a business going, so I didn't have any of this traffic. The only one picture that's there is
my camper in front after we came back from a camping trip to unload. So, I was
bothered by that. My neighbors across the street that aren't here that don't have an
objection to it, have a church thing that they have twice a week. They have a lot of
traffic. The people living next door to us have 11 children, so when they come to visit --
they have and have had family gathers quite often, there is a lot of traffic. Those are all
in the evenings most of the time. My preschool would be three days a week for three
hours a day for five kids or under to start out. And as soon as I could build up enough
name and recognition, then, I would go out into the community and rent a retail
commercial zoned property to expand. So, I would like to know if on some of these
things that you had in your packet, if I can rebuttal some of them or do I have to wait?
Because I have never done this before.
De Weerd: Yes, you can comment on those.
Bohrn: Do I comment on them now or after people speak?
De Weerd: If you would like to -- you have 15 minutes, so --
Bohrn: Okay. Right here -- let's see. This is our house right here. Next door
neighbors. Yes, our camper is parked there, because, like I said, it was summer. Right
there. He got a good shot, I guess. All these cars right here are either for the neighbor
that's parked right here and the camper, or it's for the people right across the street over
here that you can't see their house. Right here. There is -- I have people that are with
me tonight that can tell you that during the day there is hardly any traffic and there is
hardly any cars parked on this street. There is a business down the street that's a nail
business. I don't know whether it's got a license or not, but I got a flyer saying that she
was doing nails in her home. She's going to have probably more than five clients a day.
You know, I don't -- I don't know. But my thing is most of mine -- I know three people
Meridian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 45 of 84
that were going to send their kids to my school and they are in walking distance. And
so on this I don't think I have an impact and when I looked at these pictures that were in
your packet, they don't have anything to do with my case. So, I would ask that they not
be considered in. Is that -- I mean can I do that? I don't know.
De Weerd: Yes, you can --
Bird: Sure.
Bohrn: Okay. Thank you. Let's see. One thing that I did get permission from AMI,
which I believe I gave you a copy in the packet and the first one says that they will grant
a conditional waiver on -- to let me do my business, to conduct a business in my
residence. This is dated July 17th and it says that the single car garage door may be
modified for use as an emergency exit. However, in the event you move the preschool
out of your home or close the school, the modifications to the garage will be removed
and the garage door will be restored to the original condition. And me and my husband
agreed to this. We had always planned on this. It wasn't a permanent thing. But what
bothered me about this letter is it says vehicles may not regularly be parked on the city
streets. That's fine. But what bothers me is that the letter that the Vineyards sent to
you objecting to this, says -- and it's the one, two, three -- third paragraph down, the last
sentence, it says: One of the conditions that the board temporarily approved this waiver
is that no vehicles may be parked on the driveway or street. And I got nothing but run
around. Every time -- I talked to this man, David Crandall, that is supposed to be the
neighborhood manager, I talked to him back in April when I was thinking of doing this,
because when I bought a house here I thought the CC&Rs -- and I was concerned, well,
how can they across the street and do child care if there is not supposed to be any
businesses. So, I called and he says, oh, if it's a preschool, daycare, you can do that. I
thought, okay, you know, that's fine. I also told him about the garage, the door, and he
said that it would have to go through this. So, we went through all the steps, we got,
like I said, the letter on July 17th approving it and now all of a sudden it's like they are
taking it back in this letter that they sent to you. So, I'm really bothered by that. If they
didn't want me to do it, they should have told me in the first place and, then, I wouldn't
have spent all this time and money and your time also. The next thing is, there was a
lot of comments with excessive noise and, like I said before, I think a lot of people
misconstrue that it is a daycare and it's not, it's a preschool. They would be there for
three hours. They would be outside for 15, 20 minutes tops, weather permitting.
Wintertime when it's raining, snowing, they are not going to be outside. Also, I do not
teach in the summer. You know, it goes with the school year, just like everything else
does. Let's see. I also had talked to a few parents, because I have been advertising
trying to get -- if it does go, that they would be able to start and so with some of them
I've talked to them about maybe parking on the side street -- which can we go to the
map, Anna? Okay. So, the side street would be -- I'm sorry. I'm shaking. Cherry Lane.
You would come in here and the side street would be right here. It's called Sonoma.
And right here, these two houses right here, have no driveway on these -- on this street
right here Sonoma, right where I'm pointing. This little intersection here, from here to
here. So, they would be able to park there and walk around the corner two houses
Meridian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 46 of 84
down and drop off their kids, takes maybe three minutes tops, walk back, they have to
sign them in, that's it. Let's see. Then the last one I wanted to comment on was the
one that's from Planning and Zoning. I wanted to reiterate again that when I first filed
for the accessory use that I had no complaints of my immediate neighbors that were
adjacent to me or touched my boundaries. Also, on the next page in response to the
preschool will create additional traffic and would be a hazard, I believe that, you know, it
doesn't take very long, they could come in inteNals of -- if you requested that, I could
have them come every, you know, 15 minutes. It says that they were concerned about
the impact of the property value. Well, as you can see from the picture of my house,
there is really no difference looking at it in this -- looking at the exit for handicapped
children to come and go and I have a handicapped relative that I would have to build a
ramp at my front door to be able to allow them to come in just to have dinner. So, I
thought it would be, you know, kind of like both ways. My handicapped person could go
in through my garage, you know, entrance door. Plus for a fire -- another fire escape
and for if I get any special needs children that meet that requirement, which not very
many people take, versus preschool, so that's another added bonus to my preschool.
Also, with the property values, I would I ike to ask them -- or ask you if they can be
saying this without doing market research and see what an appraiser or a real estate
agent -- to say that this would actually affect it, the property value. Do you know if they
can actually say -- you know, because it was also in some of the people's comments,
the neighbor's comments about bringing down the value?
De Weerd: Well, they can make those comments.
Bohrn: Okay.
Rountree: People say a lot of things.
Bohrn: Okay. Thank you. Also, it says that there is two childcare facilities, so there is
not a need for anymore. Well, did they do a market research, did they see if it was all
tapped out, that all those preschools were full? I did before I started this and they were
full. So, to my idea if they are full and have a waiting list, there is a need for another
one. So, that's why I thought, bingo, here we go, I will try this area right here in my own
backyard. Okay? So, I didn't really like that comment, especially from Planning and
Zoning, which I didn't appreciate. I mean how can someone decide if you should have
another preschool or not in that area? And, let's see, then there was -- on the next page
-- I think the most part of my neighbors are objecting to is my business, which as it said
on the first page -- or it says on this page right here on the top paragraph, the preschool
could be reasonably accommodated in the living portion of the existing residence. So, if
I wouldn't have done it in my garage, I would be open for business right now today. So,
that was my concern is that I think they just had a problem with my -- the traffic that it's
going to bring the business and I think that the issue here today is if I can have a garage
that's not used as a garage and I think that's what we need to decide tonight and I'm
asking you to decide that on that fact, not on the fact that I'm going to be watching five
kids, three days a week, three hours a day. I have done that so it won't cause an
impact. I could do it five days a week, but I chose not to, because, to me, that's helping
Meridian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 47 of 84
with the community, so there is not so much traffic and stuff during the day. My hours of
operation are 9:00 to 3:30, but that's hours of operation when people can come and
check out the preschool and that's when I'm there. So, I think a lot of people got
misconstrued about that fact, because they were saying that, you know, if it was going
to be all day long a daycare type situation, but it's not. One more thing I'd like to ask, if I
can submit a couple pictures to you. And you can have this to keep. I had put in the
packet on question 11 and -- 10 and 11 that there was a house on Under and I'm new to
this, so I don't know if this house was built before '92 or not when the ordinance took
effect to having a two car garage, but this one is a mortgage company and they clearly
have made a garage into a mortgage company. So, I'll submit those. And, then, I just
wanted to -- when I talked to Planning and Zoning, we had some problems, we had a
meeting a Itogether a nd with the compliance 0 fficer, with Planning and Zoning, Anna,
and Kristy, and the building inspector and they told me they would do whatever they
could to help me and they would come out and take pictures and they would have them
for a slide show. Well, when I went down to sign and turn in my paper that I had posted
my notice and asked when they would be able to come out and take pictures, they said,
oh, don't worry, we'll just come out and take some of the outside and I was bothered by
that, because if you see on the inside, I have put my whole heart and soul into this and I
know that was a little much, but I do a very decent program and I do quality and when I
do something I do it a hundred percent and I do it the right way and that's why I was
doing -- trying to do this legal. And I apologize for any error that I may have made
tonight, because I have never done this before. Thank you.
Canning: Madam Mayor, would you like me to put those overhead?
Bohrn: Do you want me to explain them?
De Weerd: Yeah. We will have you just make comments.
Bohrn: Okay. They are not very good. Well, this is the door coming in from outside
that we put in and the window is right here. This right here is the door going out to our
backyard. So, the door and window that we put in the third bay would be right over
here. This right here is the front of the garage door, two-car garage. As you can see, it
doesn't look like a garage, it looks like a school and that's the atmosphere that I wanted
to portray, because when children come to my school, they know they are at school and
they are eager to learn and I think they learn better in an environment that's set up that
way.
De Weerd: Okay. Council, do you have questions?
Bird: I don't.
Rountree: No.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you.

Bohrn: Thank you.
De Weerd: Okay. I have a number of people signed up and I will read off your name. If
you would like top rovide testimony, f eel free to stand up and come forward. Kevin
Snow signed up against. Were you sworn in?
Snow: I was.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you. Just state your name and address.
Snow: Kevin Snow, 1470 North Silverado Place.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Snow: Council Members, Madam Mayor, thank you for this opportunity to speak. I'm
here on behalf of the homeowners association of the Vineyards and I am somewhat
familiar with the situation of the Bohrn's preschool that has operated over this past
summer. I apologize for Dave Crandall, he was out of town this week and so I'm here
somewhat in his place. I can't testify for him. I can tell you what he's told me of the
situation and my understanding of working with him and his attempts to work with the
Bohrns over the past few months. Earlier this year the Bohrns made plans to operate a
business out of their residential home. I believe they did contact Dave Crandall and
notify him a nd the homeowners association of this. T here a re provisions made that
people can run limited size daycares out of their homes and with that understanding
Dave Crandall proceeded. However, he was not aware of the modifications to the home
at that time, whether due to a miscommunication on his part I don't know. When we did
find out, through advertisements and so forth, and some of the neighbors discussing it
with us, that there were modifications to the home, Dave Crandall immediately
attempted to contact the Bohrns to notify them of the provisions of the two-car garage
requirement. He left messages, but was unable to make contact with the Bohrns until
after the modifications had been completed. In the spirit of good will, a temporary
waiver was offered for the summer. This was done providing that the Bohrns adhere to
the law applicable to business in a residential area and that they would not be parking
their vehicles in the street. Normal CC&Rs for our subdivision indicate that you do not
park in the driveway overnight and I believe that was assumed. There was also the
expectation that they would seek a more suitable location for their intended preschool
as soon as could be done. That t he p Ian that they gave was f or approximately five
children per class and to run multiple classes on different days throughout the school
year and during part of the summer. The Bohrns did make an extra effort to insure that
their modifications fit the look and style of the home, which we appreciated. The
homeowners association is particularly aware of parking complaints on this street. Not
necessarily traffic, but parking. The ordinance requiring two car garages has been most
effective in keeping vehicles away from the street and to clear the field of view for local
traffic. When I step out of my house on a given day, I can see 200 yards to the stop
sign down the street, all the doors -- nobody parked on the side of the street, maybe
one or two cars in driveways. It's wonderful. However, when we come to this particular
Meridian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 49 of 84
street -- can we back up to the overall plat of the Vineyards, please? As you can see,
there is a slight bend in the road, right about where the Bohrn's house is. Driveways in
the immediate vicinity are often filled to capacity in this location and multiple cars
frequently line the street on both sides. Because it takes this bend, the street can have
the appearance of being completely blocked off from the intersection as you approach
towards the cul-de-sac. I have seen the pictures that have been presented. That's a
pretty bad case. I have been there at 7:00 in the morning, at 11 :00 o'clock, I have been
there in the early afternoon, I haven't seen it quite that bad, but I have consistently seen
cars parked on both sides a nd very frequently see, through all hours 0 f t he day, full
driveways. There have been times when cars may not pass each other on this stretch
of road with confidence, meaning that it is so constricted and it's at that bend, that
you're heading right at another car if it's coming to pass you in that particular stretch of
road. We also fear the combination of full driveways and vehicles lining the streets
added to the actions of picking up and dropping off small children is particularly
dangerous. The field of view from doorway to curb is blocked by parked vehicles on
occasion, as is the first seven feet of the street. This is clearly a hazard to the
community and a disservice to the residents of the street. I do not know to what degree
the Bohrns may contribute to this traffic problem. I do know that this is the current
situation now without any in and out traffic due to additional things like people dropping
off children. On my way to this meeting tonight I drove by the street and noted that four
cars were parked in front of the Bohrn's home. I don't believe they all belong to the
Bohrns, but just a point that it's not them that's the problem, necessarily, but it's a
problem location.
De Weerd: Sir, you need to summarize. Your time is up.
Snow: I'll summarize. In view of the problems already evident, the homeowners
association strongly recommends that the request for a variance, making the operation
of the preschool potentially permanent and aggravating an already dangerous
circumstance, be denied and that the ordinance requiring a functional two-car garage be
strictly enforced. Thank you for this opportunity to speak.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you. Any questions, Council. Okay. Thank you. Alex
Salinas signed up against. Okay. Russ Coyle. I'm sorry, after 9:00 o'clock I kind of go
brain dead. Guy -- if you would like to comment, you can, please, come forward.
Okay. Were you sworn in?
Coyle: Yes, I was.
De Weerd: Okay. Just state your name and address.
Coyle: My name is Russ Coyle. I live at 1515 North Santa Rosa. So, I live just a
couple houses down from this. And a couple things I want to point out. First off is we
are not here to protest the integrity or the type of daycare that Donna may run. We are
sure that she probably runs a fine daycare. But we propose that we should not allow
these businesses into our neighborhood. We are very concerned about the safety of
Meridian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 50 of 84
children. We are concerned about the traffic flow and we are concerned about the
value and the degradation of our property value. If I could digress slightly, I previously
lived in a neighborhood -- you have heard the adage that no one wants to live next to a
textile mill, as long as it's in someone else's neighborhood, that's fine. I have lived in
neighborhoods before where daycares would come in and that may look fine, but the
houses next to them has to lower their value of sale by ten, twenty thousand dollars and
that oftentimes introduces a different g roup of individuals who, as they come in they
don't take cafe of that house, the house next to them degrades, and pretty soon your
neighborhood has lost essential value. I would like to ask the Council for clarification on
whether or not it is required by all the developers to provide covenants for their -- for
development for neighborhoods. Is that true?
Rountree: That's correct.
De Weerd: No, it's not a requirement. They are asked to -- I guess, Anna, we just
recently looked into that. What is the language?
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, the application form for the
preliminary plat states that if they are -- if they are having CC&Rs, we do ask for a copy
of those, so that we can check maintenance agreements. We don't often see it --
mostly we see the CC&Rs because there are some common maintenance areas that
need -- we need to see how they are being maintained, but that could be done through
another mechanism. But it is not strictly a requirement.
De Weerd: So, the portion we look at in the CC&Rs is just for your common areas and
maintenance issues. We do not enforce CC&Rs. Those are neighbor to neighbor.
Coyle: Okay. That was the question is if they were required by the city, whether or not
those would be legally binding covenants.
De Weerd: No.
Coyle: So, could we bring up the photos that you showed -
Nary: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Oh, I'm sorry.
Nary: Just so you are clear, they are legally binding, but they are binding between the
homeowners and the subdivision, not the city and homeowners.
De Weerd: Right.
Canning: Okay. Thank you. The first photos that you showed with the cars on the
street. That came with the packet. Madam Mayor, if you would like me to do that, it's
going to take me awhile. I put them away already.
Meridian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 51 of 84
De Weerd: Okay.
Coyle: So, let me say --
De Weerd: We do remember seeing them and when she shows them up here, it's --
Coyle: So, I would like to just say to the Council that those are not misleading. I have
taken account -- I leave about 8:00 o'clock in the morning, I return home at 4:30, 5:30
o'clock at night. During the weekdays this week and towards the tail end of last week, I
have seen at the most eight cars there and never fewer than five cars. At other times I
have seen as many as 18 cars there, but I will acknowledge that that is not the result of
Donna and that household. But what we have here is a real situation with way too
many cars on the street and it is very true that you cannot see around that corner and
we are very concerned about little children slipping out and running into that street. We
have teenagers on that road that drive extremely too fast and we acknowledge we have
a problem and we are trying to correct that problem. We wish her -- we have no
animosity towards her, we wish her well. If she wants to go out into a commercial
district, open up a home, we welcome that opportunity. I see my time is about up. We
had too much time to take too many notes, I believe. There are multiple bus stops. If
you see right around that corner -- just around the corner there is a child bus stop there.
There is one on the other entrance coming off of Cherry Lane. So, we have -- we have
kids that are being picked up there and those kids come home. She mentioned her
hours between 9:00 and 3:30. When do the kids come home from school? At 3:30.
That's when my kids get home from school. So, the time that those mothers are coming
in to pick up those kids, the same time that they are going to be coming in and we are
concerned about this and we ask the Council that we try to turn the table on these retail
businesses moving into neighborhoods, I moved into a cul-de-sac to avoid this very
problem. I have been there for 12 years and I see this as a growing trend and I think it's
going to be costly to the homeowners that have been there for some time. Thank you.
De Weerd: Thank you. Any questions, Council? Okay. Guy Kerr.
Kerr: I did not swear in, because I didn't think I had any comments.
De Weerd: Is the testimony you provide tonight the truth, the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth, so help you God?
Kerr: Yes, it is.
De Weerd: Thank you. Please state your name and address.
Kerr: My name is Guy Kerr and I live at 1892 West Sunnyslope Drive.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Meridian City Council

Kerr: And my comment is that I am semi retired, I do not work all the time, and I live
only three doors away from the location, but I happen to live on the corner where the
stop sign is for most of the people who head this way. So, I live in this lot right here and
there is a stop sign right on this corner and most of the people who enter this
subdivision go this direction, they don't stop at this stop sign. Then, there is a stop sign
at my neighbors right here and most of the people who cross this road, they don't stop
at this stop sign and a lot of people believe that maybe they are not in a hurry in the
mornings or they are not in a hurry in the afternoons and we all know that most people
are in a hurry. So, I spend enough time -- my driveway faces this -- where this T is right
here, but my house faces this way. I have spent enough time in the driveway, even my
yard, to know that these people don't stop at the stop signs; they don't pay attention to
the speed limit. There is a dip on both sides of this street right here and people actually
try to cut around here to avoid the stop signs and, then, they fly through here and
bounce through those dips while these people are trying to cross those stop sign areas
and the other thing I want you to know is I have a handicapped daughter and I have
lived in the location there for a little over eleven years and I didn't modify my home to
get her in and out of my house, I just built it so that it would work without ramps and
without extra doors in my garage and I also want you to know that just trying to back out
of my driveway with the traffic at 8:00, 7:45, 8:15 in this area right here is virtually
impossible and so I would like you to consider some of the things that the people here
have about the traffic, because it really is important to us. Thank you.
De Weerd: Thank you. Carol Gentry signed up against. Okay. Signed up against.
And Ralph Gentry as well. Thank you.
Rountree: I have no idea.
Patterson. Does it start with an R?
De Weerd: Yeah.
Rountree: Maybe.
De Weerd: A lot of loops. Okay.
Patterson: I have been sworn in. My name is Roger Patterson; I live at 1502 North
Santa Rosa Place and let me apologize before I start, in case I fall asleep. I'm usually
in bed by now. Okay? So, last night I get home and my wife comes home and I'm
talking to her and I said tomorrow night I'd like you to be home for dinner, because I
have to go to a city council meeting. Usually we don't eat dinner together, because she
has her own business, see? So, she says, okay, she says, well, why, and I says, well, I
got to go to the city council meeting. She said what for and I said, well, I got to talk
about the daycare down the street and the opposition of it and she says, well, you know
what, she says, I think I'd rather have a daycare than have that guy out there smoking
pot in his boxer shorts. I said, well, that's a good point. I can't argue with that. So, I
said, well -- I said what about the traffic? I said how about the girls playing at the end of
Meridian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 53 of 84
the cul-de-sac, you know, we get a few cars come by there, you know, doesn't that
bother you any? And she says, well, she says, no, she said, because we get a lot of
traffic anyway. There is cars all over that street all the time. She said that's not a big
factor. So, I said, well, let me see, I got to come up with something else. So, I said,
well, hey, how about that rent you're paying for your business, I said why don't you just
move your business to our garage and you can just start shipping your drugs out of our
garage. Well, she said, I -- I don't think our garage is big enough. She said I need a
little bit more space than that. So, I kept thinking, I said how the heck can I persuade
her to come onto my team? So, I said -- I said, hey, look at these CC&Rs right here, I
said it says right here in these CC&Rs that this is a residential area and you're not
supposed to have a business in here. You can't operate a business in here. I said how
about that? She goes wow. I said, you know, if we let that business in here, we are
going to set a precedence, people are going to start opening businesses everywhere
down this street. I said, then, this residential nightmare is going to be a commercial
nightmare. So, you know, she said you're right. I think that's about the second
argument I ever won my wife. So I thought, you know, I better come to the city council
meeting and I better talk about it. Thank you.
De Weerd: Thank you. Molly Bedney for. I believe you were sworn in.
Bedney: Yes.
De Weerd: Please state your name and address.
Bedney: Molly Bedney. 1795 West Sonoma Drive. Madam Mayor and City Council
Members, I have known Donna for a little over a year and I have on many occasions --
there have been, first of all, cars parked on my street for long periods of time.
Secondly, I'm a little unsure of what's been presented at this point. I came here tonight
with the intent on supporting Donna, because she remodeled her garage, I felt that was
the issue. I've heard nothing but traffic issues. Well, maybe a little bit of the other from
Donna. So, I'm concerned that -- yes, I'm concerned about the traffic, because I live in
the neighborhood, I see more traffic and high speeds -- I should say over 25 after the
high school gets out than I do during the day. I do not work out of my -- out of the
home, I work at home most of the time, and I do appreciate the concerns of the other
people 0 n the cul-de-sac regard ing this, that t hey a re - - that t hey a re dealing with a
traffic issue, but I believe that's a separate issue from what Donna is bringing to you
tonight. So, I would just ask that -- that, you know, the point of her remodel could be
focused to that and not necessarily the traffic. I understand that has to be considered in
a business like this, but she's just starting and so I'm here to support that. To my
knowledge and from what I have seen, I went over, I looked at her facility, I -- I, myself,
have schooled before; you do have to do some modifications when you have children in
your home as a starting point. So, I guess that's pretty much alii need to say. I would
like to at least add -- which I -- I can't add this with a lot of knowledge, but there is an
adult handicapped foster care home at the opposite end of our subdivision. I believe it's
on Sonoma, but I really have little knowledge that I'm bringing tonight. So, I just ask that
you be fair and consider Donna is starting out. Thank you very much.

De Weerd: Thank you. Diane Kerr signed up against.
D.Kerr: I wasn't sworn in.
De Weerd: Okay. Is the testimony you provide tonight the truth, the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth, so help you God?
D.Kerr: Yes, I will.
De Weerd: Thank you. Please state your name and address.
D.Kerr: My name is Diane Kerr and I live at 1892 West Sunnyslope Drive. And -- okay.
Okay. I live right here. The daycare is right here. There is a high school that's right
here. And I knew that when I moved into the subdivision. In--
Bird: The high school can't be right there.
De Weerd: No. Down lower.
D.Kerr: Okay. But it impacts this traffic coming down Linder is what my point is going
to be. Okay. In the morning I cannot get out on Linder Road to leave. I have to go
down this path -- it's not easy to hold down here. I have to go down this path out this
way. She's talking about leaving traffic right there. In the morning there is a lot of traffic
that comes out that other access to cut through to get to the high school in the morning,
so there is high speed in the morning already from the high school trying to gain access
to Linder Road to get to the high school. Yeah. Which would be down here, actually.
There is also a bus stop right here and I have the same hours as a daycare, because I
work at a school, and so I see in the morning when I leave that this is quite -- the only
way I can get out is out through Cherry Lane, because it is so heavily traffic'd and
speeding, because of that -- people trying to gain access to that area. My other point
would be that the daycare right now -- she was talking about how she came in and she
wanted to have a business in her home, but, really, wasn't aware that you couldn't do
what you wanted to do in your house. Well, they changed the front of their house and it
does not look like the rest of the houses. None of them look exactly alike; they are not
all cookie cutter houses. But also her house looks like a business. She has signs of
business on her vehicles, which are parked on the outside, because you can't park
inside her garage. There is signs that she has put in the common areas, have been
asked not to put them in the common areas, advertising an open house, metal signs --
she continues to do that. Then there is also flyers that are put on your house
advertising her daycare. There is also another business that's right in -- and I also have
a mailed flyer from this business, which is a nail salon, which is right in this cul-de-sac
right here, within a few doors down, right in that area of this business. So, that is an
additional traffic hazard. I don't know if, you know, people rushing around in the
morning to get their kids to preschool or late for their nail salon is going to affect that
already heavy traffic problem within the subdivision. She was also talking about how in
MerIdian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 55 of 84
the summertime she had her RV parked in the front. That's also against -- I think not
only our covenants, but city code and you're not supposed to put it in the front there, but
that kind of stuff -- there is just way too much -- there is no -- the only place that other
people are going to have to park is -- and there is not really any -- much room in that --
in that cul-de-sac as it is. I don't know where they are going to park.
De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. Virginia Boren. Thank you. Please state your name
and address.
Boren: Virginia Boren. 321 East Cassidy Road. And I visit Donna very often and we
have our children that are about the same age. We have three high school students
that go to that high school and I understand where the previous lady was saying that
there is a lot of traffic, because I drive my daughter and my niece to school, but that's at
7:00 o'clock in the morning. By, then, school -- Donna would start her preschool.
Again, I would clarify, it's not a daycare, it is a preschool and she wouldn't start that until
later in the afternoon. And the only thing I have to object right now would be that the
homeowners association stated that they tried to contact her without any prevail when
they were -- when we were doing the modification to the garage. The modification took
close to two months and we weren't -- we meaning my husband was there -- we helped
them, you know, put everything together and it wasn't private, it wasn't something that
we were trying to hide or do secretly. Everybody was aware of it. If they -- I feel if they
wanted to contact her in two months -- it was plenty of time and we were there a lot of
the times and if it were told to her that this could not have been done, we certainly
wouldn't have wasted the resources or the money putting all that hard work into doing
what we did for her. We would have definitely turned and tried to find something else,
but nobody spoke up until after the work was done. And that's alii have to say.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Boren: I just feel it's not -- you know, it's not right. If they felt it was -- it wasn't
something that they wanted 0 r s ometh ing that should be being done, then, its hould
have been said at that time, because she did, she was -- since April we were trying to
take the right channels here and it just seemed like it was a go ahead and, then, after all
the work was done when everybody started slamming everything, saying, hey, that's not
right. So, I think she should be given a chance. Okay? Thank you.
De Weerd: Thank you. Mr. Nary, this is -- this is regarding a variance for use of the
garage; is that correct? So, it's not an issue of the accessory use permit.
Nary: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, according to the city code, the
accessory use permit -- there is only 15 days in which to object to the accessory use
permit. That time period past and no one objected. So, the zoning administrator can
issue it. The issue -- the problem here is the statute is discretionary -- or the ordinance
is discretionary. Mrs. Canning's staff, as they reviewed that and, then, had looked at the
site, because, again, when they went over to inspect it, it appeared that the property
was going to be used -- the garage was going to be used for the -- for the preschool
Meridian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 56 of 84
facility. That's where the rub is with the ordinance. But, you're right; it is only a variance
that's being requested to use the garage -- to not have a two-car garage. It is required
under Merid ian city ordinance, a different ordinance, 11-10-6, requires that every house
have a two car garage that is able to have two cars park in it. The city doesn't require
you park in it and the city doesn't require that you can't park on the street, those are left
to the homeowners associations to deal with. But we only require that. So, what we
have here is a situation where Mrs. Canning's staff, in reviewing this accessory use
permit for final, because no objections were submitted, were concerned that a different
ordinance was being violated, that's why we are here for the variance. If the Council
were to deny the variance, it doesn't mean that she can't operate this accessory use, it
means that she can't operate it in the garage.
De Weerd: Okay. I thought I had better get clarification on that. Okay.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I, actually, did issue a denial letter,
Mr. Nary, regarding this application, because she could not meet the standard and that
denial was not appealed. She went forward with the variance process instead. So, I'm
unclear as to the standing of the AUP at this point also.
Nary: The denial letter was issued, but the staff recommendation was to seek the
variance; right? And the denial was based upon the fact that the garage was going to
be used for the accessory use and that was the only reason it wasn't issued at the time;
right?
Canning: Correct.
Nary: The staff report --
Canning: Correct. The staff didn't recommend a variance, but that was the only avenue
left, other than appealing.
Nary: Okay.
Canning: And the appeal of the decision, as we discussed with Mrs. Bohrn, would have
had to have been that staff erred in some part and she decided to go with the variance
request instead.
Nary: So, the time period has past, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, so if -- if
Mrs. Canning's already issued the denial -- if that, then, there wouldn't be any accessory
use but for this variance, she'd still have to go -- even with this variance she'd have to
go back through the accessory use process again, because that's still been denied. All
the Council would be granting if they -- if they granted this variance, was for her to have,
essentially, an enclosed garage for a living space and that's all she would be able to do
with it. She'd still have to go back through the accessory use process again to be able
to operate this preschool facility in her home.
Meridian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 57 of 84
De Weerd: And did the applicant understand the ramifications of not appealing your --
your letter and -- [ mean I don't understand why she would come forward with a
variance if she understood that she would still have to go back to the conditional use --
or the accessory use permit. I don't think it sounds like it was very clear.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I don't think we anticipated that far in
the future. I will agree to that. I did discuss the possibility of writing a letter that was
contingent upon not using the garage. That was not an option at the time, so the denial
letter was sent out. I didn't plan that far in advance, I'm sorry, Mayor. I missed that
connection. So, it was not discussed and if we had thought about it, we would have
certainly had her file both applications to keep that opportunity open.
De Weerd: So, Mr. Attorney, what is the reason for this hearing? To discuss if she
cannot park in her garage? I mean because she won't have an accessory use permit at
this point, then.
Nary: Madam Mayor, most people wouldn't come to the Council to ask if they can
enclose their garage and make it into a living space. They would either get a building
permit -- probably many would not, but you wouldn't be here, normally, except for this
accessory permit and, I'm sorry, I misunderstood that they had issued a denial, because
I agree with you, Madam Mayor, it certainly would have made more sense for Mrs.
Bohrn to have appealed that decision, as well as sought a variance at the same time.
Because right now all that Council can do is either affirm or deny this request for a
variance. We do have a city code that is very specific on garages. We have a city code
that is very specific on the findings that are necessary to grant a variance. And the staff
recommendation is those findings can't be made, there isn't adequate evidence to show
that. That's all the Council can do is approve or deny that variance. It has nothing to do
with the accessory use.
De Weerd: Well, I think this is very unfortunate that she is not -- it's not been clear that
this could have been a chance to appeal the denial as well. And I don't know if there is
anyway to remedy that.
Rountree: Reapply.
De Weerd: Well, but that doesn't seem right.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: How come we -- how come we were -- somewhere in the packet wasn't shown
where they have had a letter that was sent denying it? That's part of this variance
application I would think.

Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, Mr. Nary also, all the public notices
have included to allow a childcare slash preschool for five or fewer children to be
operated in the required garage area. So, certainly the notice, as you can see from all
the people that it has addressed the issue of the daycare, so they have been informed
of that.
Nary: I guess, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I'm the new person on this side
of the bench, but that may have provided notice to the public as to what we are talking
about, but all you have before you is whether or not to grant a variance and you don't
have anything else. A s I said, if you grant the variance, that doesn't mean she can
operate this d aycare, because that permit was denied and she didn't a ppeal it. So,
she'd still have to go back through the accessory use process to be able to actually
operate this -- sorry, not daycare, but preschool facility. She still would need to have
that, because that's already been denied. The process is completed and all you have is
this variance before you.
De Weerd: I guess my question is did she know that she could appeal, in addition to
the variance?
Nary: I don't have the letter -- I don't have a copy of the letter.
Canning: Yes, the letter does state that there is an appeal period and it lists the exact
date of the appeal.
De Weerd: Okay. Well, we will ask you in a little bit. Okay.
Nary: And the only other issue, Madam Mayor -- and, again, I don't know the answer to
this, I'm not trying to put Mrs. Canning on the spot -- from the staff report it indicates that
the discussion was somehow with Mrs. Bohrn that her avenue to get remedy here was
to get a variance.
Canning: We certainly thought that was the case at the time we recommended her to
get the variance and at that time we had no knowledge of any neighborhood opposition.
Nary: Right. And so because of that -- I mean I don't know whether or not part of the
reason, as I think you have already stated, Madam Mayor, as to why an appeal wasn't
sought was because the belief Mrs. Bohrn had from that conversation was what she
needed to do was seek a variance. If that was granted she, then, would be okay to
proceed with her business. And that may be part of the reason. I don't know.
Canning: That's -- I'm sorry, Madam Mayor. That was it exactly. I guess we just didn't
think it through exactly right and I apologize for that. But we did think that the variance
was the remedy for the situation.
De Weerd: Okay. Well, we still have a number of people signed up here and I'm sorry I
muddied the water with my question.

Rountree: No. I think that's important.
De Weerd: We will continue the Public Hearing with Cheryl Ferneau. Okay. Thank
you. Signed up for. If you will, please, state your name and address.
Ferneau: Cheryl Ferneau. 440 South Malachite in Meridian.
De Weerd: Thank you. Were you sworn in?
Ferneau: Yes, I was.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Ferneau: I have known Donna for several years and my children were at her preschool
and I know what kind of a person and what kind of a business she runs and how she
handles everything, with the access of traffic, interaction with the parents being there
around the community, making sure everybody is aware of what's going on and so that
it's not a problem. In my belief, Donna does this very well. I feel that in her whole
process of trying to get this going, she has been misled several times. She has gone
about the proper channels and I feel it would be very unfortunate to make her pay for
somebody else's mistakes. She has done whatever she has been told is the proper
way to do it and the time and money she has put into it and the hopes and dreams that
she's had to get this going will be shattered. The traffic problem -- in my subdivision
there is also a preschool. There is also an elementary school that is -- you go down my
road to get to it for a passageway for the children to walk to and, honestly, there is no
traffic problem with the preschool dropping off and picking up. I have been on Donna's
street several times and there is a great deal of cars parked on the road, which has
been mentioned, but it's not from the her side, it's from another group meeting of some
sort. I also wanted to reiterate that Donna has not had the preschool going during the
summer. She was going to try, but with everything she was running into problems
getting things approved and she was waiting for her license to actually come through,
which was helped up by t he Planning a nd Zoning Committee. So, s he had not had
anything running, so has not contributed to any traffic. I guess that's it.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you. Now, I just would remind everyone, this is about the
garage, okay? Okay. Steve Svoboda.
Svoboda: And I was sworn in.
De Weerd: Okay. Just state your name and address.
Svoboda: So, my name is Steve Svoboda and I live at 1480 North Santa Rosa.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Meridian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 60 of 84
Svoboda: So, using the little laser here, I live about right there. And I was hesitant to
come down here for a couple of reasons. And now there is another reason in that I --
you know, I could have watched the debate and everything else, but -- so I could have
come down here at 10:00 and still said my piece. But, anyway, one of the reasons that I
was hesitant to come down was because I really don't want to be at odds with any of my
neighbors, you know. I believe in being reasonable, being flexible and so forth. I also
believe that there are covenants and restrictions that one has to abide by. So, it's really
a two-way street about being neighborly, whichever side of a particular issue you
happen to be on. And also the other reason is because we actually have a contract on
our home, we were one of the original homeowners on Santa Rosa, we have been there
over eleven years, and although we may be out on the street, because we haven't
figured out exactly where we are moving to yet, but we -- we have finally sold the house.
However, the -- we had a full price offer on our house fairly quickly after we put it on the
market and the -- or, actually, we didn't get it in writing yet, but the realtors spoke and
the contract was written up and the people decided that they wanted to pray about it
over night and the next morning their realtor called our realtor and said that they
decided to go with their second choice and withdrew the offer because of the cars and
traffic on the street. So, even though Donna and the Bohrns and, then, the daycare and
all that stuff -- and I'm not totally aware of how much traffic and cars that may have
already added or will add in the future, there is no denying that street, in and of itself,
has a huge amount of cars parked on it and traffic along -- and it's a cul-de-sac. And for
people to come in that cul-de-sac, then, the natural way to do that, since Donna lives on
the opposite side of the street, you know, as you're coming in the street she would live
on the left side, would be to go all the way down to the end of the cul-de-sac, turn
around, come back and, then, pull up in front of that house, because there doesn't
appear that there would be any parking in the driveway, because there is no garage.
Okay? So, the -- in my mind a couple of the big issues are, one, you know, do the
covenants and the ordinances apparently -- apparently there is an ordinance where you
need a two car garage t hat apparently is for u se for your cars, 0 kay, and, t hen, the
covenants themselves. So, the ordinance and the covenants, do they have any -- any
bearing on this or -- and does one have to abide by it. And when you sign a contract on
a house, I believe, if I'm not mistaken, when you close, that you sign that you are aware
of the covenants -- whether you read them or not, that's -- you know, that's up to you
individually, but if you come in afterwards and either didn't read them or feel like, well,
you know, I don't think my little thing is going to be that much of a deal and, then, try to
proceed, it's sort of after the fact, you know. And so I do think these issues of traffic and
safety, of property values, I think my case has some bearing on property values, at least
on salability, if not value in and of itself, I think these all need to be taken into account
and, again, like it has been said before, we -- I barely met Donna, she seems like a very
nice person, you know, I have no reason to think she wouldn't do a great job, and I wish
her the best, but I feel like it -- you know, you need to work on both sides to be in the
neighborhood. And one last point if I could and that is that I wasn't aware -- now maybe
an attempt was made, but I wasn't aware -- I was not aware of any -- anything of going
around to the neighbors -- certainly didn't meet any neighbors on the street -- it sounded
-- a couple of comments were made about--

De Weerd: Your time is up.
Svoboda: Okay. They should -- we should go to them or we should be aware of things
ahead of time, but I think it would have been neighborly to come to us and ask us what
we thought. So, thank you very much.
De Weerd: Thank you. Dee Carter signed up against.
Carter: Yeah. I have no further comments.
De Weerd: Thank you. Mason Carter against. Okay. Darrell Shuenberg. Thank you.
Cindy Dury is for. Okay.
Dury: Thank you. I'm nursing a broken leg. I was not sworn in.
De Weerd: Okay. Is the testimony you provide tonight the truth, the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Dury: It sure is.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Dury: My name is Cindy Dury, I live at 1422 West Santa Rosa Place.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Dury: Since we are here for one purpose and that's to decide whether or not she can
use the facility as a preschool in our garage --
Rountree: No.
Dury: I think that's the point that we need to stick with. The neighbors had the
opportunity to come and speak and no one said a thing. They watched her garage, they
watched there be construction all summer long and didn't say a word about it and now
when she's put the money, the time, and everything, then, everybody has decided now
this is going to cause a traffic problem and everything else. There are three houses on
au r street right now t hat teenagers live in their garage a nd their garage is not being
used for cars. There are two houses on our street right now that have been remodeled
strictly for that purpose. So, to blame this on traffic -- the house with the eleven
children, quite extensive, and I don't -- I don't think that it's fair for people to be able to
come and sling when they had the opportunity to do that -- the time and the money has
been put in, stick with the issues, stick with the problem. Thank you.
De Weerd: Thank you. And I have one last person signed up here is Chris Svoboda.
Okay. Opposed. Is there any other testimony to be provided to tonight? You have
Meridian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 62 of 84
already testified, sir. Is the testimony you provide tonight the truth, the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Crandall: Yes, it is.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Crandall: My name is David Crandall, 1864 East Lochmeadow Street in Meridian.
Madam Mayor and Council, I'm kind of in the middle of all this, because I work for AMI,
I'm the neighborhood manager; I'm hired by the association to manage the affairs of the
association. Contrary to what some things that have been said, I did start getting the
calls from the neighborhood, I did start getting calls from people who live on the street
asking me to take action on this. I did write a letter to Donna when I first became aware
through contacting the neighborhood that she wasn't allowed to confine the garage, I
sent her a letter stating that she had to go through the architectural process. I did not
hear a reply from her. Some weeks went by, I had given her time to respond, I, then,
sent her a second letter, a little bit stronger wording, with a copy of the forms saying that
she had to submit the form. At that time she did submit the form and the impression
was that this was going to be a temporary thing until she could find a place out of the
neighborhood. We, then, laid down some conditions in talking with the board that you
have heard tonight, that if she did take the service out of the community, that she had to
restore the garage back to its 0 riginal c ond ition. We put some conditions a bout the
parking of the cars and the whole time there was an assumption that it was just the one
car bay, that she wasn't going to take the other two out, that she would continue to park
her cars in the garage and the home would still look like a home, at least on a
temporary basis we would have the one door, which I understand from Donna was put
in because of the fire ordinance, they had to have an emergency exit. The reason I
think a lot of homeowners are here tonight -- and I'm certainly here tonight is because
Donna, then, changed what we understood the original agreement to be, she now wants
to take the whole garage out of service and she wants all three car bays out of service
and that's why the association directed me, through the board of directors, to write to
Donna to tell her we were objecting to it and a lot of the letters that you have in your
packet were signed by men otifying her that t he association's position, that we were
objecting to all three bays taken out of service, because the implication, then, is going to
be that the cars are going to be regularly parked either on the street or the driveway and
that was a safety issue, it's an unsightly issue, and over time, as you have heard tonight
also, it does encroach on the neighborhood and values of properties and resale values
of property. We do not oppose her as to her intent to operate the business, the quality
of care that she can provide to the students or anything about that, that's not what we
are protesting. We are saying that there are covenants, the covenants clearly state that
you must have at least a two car garage, with the assumption that you're going to park
your vehicles in that garage, and when she changed from what the letters were
originally written, saying that she now wants to take all three cars out of -- three car
bays out of service, that's why you're seeing so much objection tonight. And we would
encourage her to do the business, but we also encourage her to develop it quickly to
Meridian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 63 of 84
move it to an off-site location and restore her home to a home and not a mixed purpose.
Thank you.
De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. Is there any further testimony? Okay. Donna. You
have five minutes for rebuttal.
Bohrn: To start things, he assumed that we would park in the garage. Our covenants
don't say that we have to do that and I checked into other covenants and they
specifically spell out if you are supposed to park in your garage or not, so I don't know
where he thought that about -- and that letter that he sent strictly said there will be no
parking to you guys, but I never heard that. I never heard that. It was only regularly
parking on the street was in the first letter. Some of the things I'd like to point out is that
I believe Kevin Snow's wife does daycare unofficially.
De Weerd: If we can keep this to you using your garage.
Bohrn: Okay. Okay. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I got off track, I guess.
De Weerd: Well-- and I know that's easy to do.
Bohrn: I'm just very bothered by this, because I have felt like I have got the run around.
I tried to do this legal, I've tried to do everything, and it seems like everybody tells me a
different story. The first letter says -- it's dated July 14th, this is the letter you asked me
about from the city Planning and Zoning. I'm sorry. It says that I'm not able to do my
preschool in my home, because I don't have the use of the garage. It does not state in
here what my resources are, so when I got this letter I was devastated. I called and
asked what I could do. Sonya told me I had to put in for a. conditional use to temporarily
use of my garage and that would be another 350 dollars and I didn't have it. Then, I
asked to talk to her supervisor and Anna told me that I should put in a variance and she
told me that if I didn't want to put in the variance, because it was 310 dollars, that I could
appeal and that that was in my letter and I told her that it was not in my letter. And if I
could submit this, I would really like this back, because I didn't make a copy of this
tonight.
De Weerd: Our clerk can take a copy of it.
Canning: Madam Mayor, we have a copy in the record.
De Weerd: Okay.
Canning: Both letters are in there. I sent another letter a week later.
Bohrn: Do you guys all have copies -- the Council? Because this first letter does not
say that I could appeal and that I had 15 days and so when I talked to Anna, she issued
me another one on July 27th.
Meridian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 64 of 84
Bird: Madam Mayor, I'd like a copy of that.
De Weerd: Will, if we could get a copy.
Bohrn: -- saying that I had 15 days to appeal, it would be 150 dollars, and I called her
and she told me that we should get together and meet and so we did, like I told you,
with all the group headings and stuff, the building inspector and the enforcement officer,
because she was telling me other things that if I wanted to appeal it, then, I would have
to the remove the carpet, remove the linoleum, stuff like that, that I didn't think, even if I
had to put back and make it a working garage, I would probably just leave the carpet,
because it would make it warmer, because my daughter has allergies and in our garage
down in Nevada we had carpet, because sweeping causes dust, which goes into
everything, even into your house and we just vacuumed, instead of sweeping. So, I
didn't feel like should have to take out my carpet and the building inspector said, no, if
she wants carpet in the garage she can have carpet in the garage. So, I feel like I was -
- I have just been getting the run around from everybody. Just like Dave Crandall said,
you know, he -- we worked on it with our garage door open, because it was
summertime, it was hot, I was out there -- people could have came and asked me, you
know, what we were doing and I apologize for not letting -- talking to the other people
that were notified about this issue, because the first one it was just my adjacent
neighbors that I had to talk to and I did do that, but, then, we went into you have to have
a variance -- I guess I didn't even think in the back of my mind that I need to talk to
everybody else, I just figured it probably won't bother them, I mean you drive by they are
not going to see anything different, other than the door that's out there and the window.
But on two cars garages that people that don't have a third car garage, because they
bought the house with just a two, it doesn't look any much different than that. I wanted
to reiterate that my hours of operation are only hours of operation; it doesn't mean the
kids are there from 9:00 to 3:30. A lot of people said that, you know, it would be during
school and stuff and it's not, it would not be during, it would start after all the school
started. The last bus comes through our subdivision there about 8:30 in the morning.
The soonest I would ever open class would be at 9:00.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Bohrn: I would just ask the committee to consider granting me this, even if it's on a
temporary basis. And I do think that Anna put this up in front of everybody to see. This
is the house on Linder, 370 Linder, for the question of ten and eleven.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you. Council, do you have any questions?
Rountree: I have none.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council?
De Weerd: Yes.
Meridian CIty Council
October 5. 2004
Page 65 of 84
Canning: Regarding the first letter, when I found out that Sonya had sent a letter
without the appeal information, I did send a new letter and set the appeal date based on
the new letter. I did want to make sure that she was aware of that information. We did
go forward thinking that the variance was the solution to this problem. I do
acknowledge that. We did have a meeting with Daunt Whitman, with Chris from White
Peterson, whose last name escapes me at the moment, and with Mrs. Bohrn, her
husband, Kristy Vigil and myself and Joe Venamin to discuss this issue, because there
has been a huge amount of miscommunication all throughout the process. While the --
before the AUP had been approved Joe Venamin did visit the site, it's in his logs, and
he did inform Mrs. Bohrn that -- that she was not allowed to convert the garage. Mrs.
Bohrn has no recollection of that conversation. We talked with Daunt in his presence,
because we wanted to make sure that we all understood the requirements for a building
permit. There was no building permit obtained to do this work. It did require a building
permit. So, there are some conditions of approval that should the Council choose to
approve this application tonight, that a building permit does need to be obtained to
convert property from -- or convert the area from a garage use to residential use.
Because I just wanted to clarify some of the staff concerns regarding the application
with regard to processing. It was a difficult application to process, as you can see. It's
not had a smooth journey.
De Weerd: Well, usually, as we come up with things that we haven't faced before, we
try and find a logical route of process and sometime it just doesn't work out the way we
think it will, so we apologize for that. Council, do you have any questions or additional
information you need at this point?
Rountree: I have none. Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: Hearing no further discussion, I would move that we close the Public Hearing
on Item No. 13.
Bird: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. It's been moved and seconded to close Item 13, the Public Hearing.
All those in favor say aye. All ayes. Motion carries.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Rountree: Madam Mayor, if I might just kind of summarize what I'm thinking about this -
- excuse me. He can hear me. Just a little bit. This hearing is not about the use of -- or
the -- yeah, the use in this neighborhood of a preschool, it's not about traffic, it's not
about the character of the applicant, it's not about any of those things, it's about whether
or not there is sufficient evidence for the city to make a finding that it can vary a city
ordinance to allow a home to not follow the required city ordinance, which is to have a
garage that would accommodate two cars. We have heard a lot of testimony about a lot
Meridian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 66 of 84
of things tonight, but very little -- I'm not sure any that relates to that particular topic. I
don't find that there is any evidence that supports a finding for the variance, but I do
hope that Mrs. Bohrn continues on with her endeavor and re-Iooks at an accessory use
permit, possibly with the modification of another portion of her home. Having said that, I
would move that we deny the request for variance for Item No. 13, Variance 04-006.
Bird: Second.
De Weerd: It's been moved and seconded to deny Item 13. Is there any further
discussion? Hearing none, Mr. Berg.
Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Wardle, yea.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Item 14:
Public Hearing: MI 04-010 Request to a modify the hours of operation
approved previously under CUP 01-016 from 8 am to 10 pm Monday thru
Saturday and 9 am to 9 pm Sunday to 6 am to 10 pm seven days a week
for Cherry Crossing Subdivision by Robnett Construction, Inc. -
northwest corner of West Cherry Lane and North Under Road:
De Weerd: Thank you. Item 14 is a Public Hearing on MI 04-010.
Wardle: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: Before you open the Public Hearing on Item No. 14, I need to recuse myself
from this hearing.
De Weerd: Okay. Okay. I'll open this Public Hearing with staff comments.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, this is a modification -- a request to
modify the hours of operation for Cherry Crossing Subdivision. The property is located
at the corner of Cherry and --
De Weerd: I'm sorry, Anna. I guess Councilman Wardle did recuse himself for a
reason of personal benefit. If you're not going to state your reason, I'll make one up.
Personal conflict? Okay.
Bird: That's fine with me.
De Weerd: Does the Council -- sorry, Anna, I didn't mean to--
Canning: That's okay. I was still trying to figure out the cross streets. I think it's Cherry
and Under. The property has undergone this discussion a number of times, actually. It
Meridian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 67 of 84
was explained quite well in the staff report and I think I'm just going to kind of briefly go
through it. There is -- as many uses have come on, we were familiar with the problem
that as a new use comes in usually we have to shift the lines a little bit and in this
particular case they have needed some adjustments in the hours of 0 peration. The
applicant is clear that this request is to accommodate a fitness facility, small fitness
facility that wants to location at the north end of the property. The hours of operation
are being asked to be adjusted to open two hours earlier. The closing time would still
be the same. So, in a nutshell, that's the -- that's the request of the applicant.
De Weerd: Okay. Is that all?
Canning: I'll answer any specific questions you might have.
De Weerd: Well, I didn't know if you were done or not.
Canning: I'm not sure either at this point in the evening.
De Weerd: Would the applicant like to come forward? The representative. Have you
been sworn in?
Robnett: Yes, ma'am, I have.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Robnett: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I appreciate the opportunity to be
here tonight.
De Weerd: State your name and address.
Robnett: My name is Mike Robnett. I reside at 6655 West Oakhampton.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Robnett: Just a quick clarification before I get started. In the application I believe there
was a legal description -- it is not the entire parcel that we are looking to change, but
this section of it right here, which is --
De Weerd: Do you want to put that on the overhead?
Bird: It should be in the application.
Robnett: This is the portion of the property here that we have under contract right now
from Hawkins, so they might be a little upset if we change the hours on the rest of their
property. The hours of operation that are on there right now, as Anna had stated, were
basically established based on the user that was intended to go in there. Now that we
are working with Total Woman Fitness, they need the hours of operation starting at 6:00
Meridian CIty Council
October 5, 2004
Page 68 of 84
a.m. and go to 10:00 p.m. and I personally walked the neighborhood behind it and on
two different occasions talked to all the neighbors back there and their big opposition on
hours was going late into the evenings, be it bars or restau rants t hat a re open until
10:00, midnight, 2:00 o'clock. The users that we are looking at fit nicely into a 6:00 to
10:00 schedule. We have been working with a dentist on one of the centerpieces and
he would, obviously, be an 8:00 or a 9:00 to 5:00 operation. And we have been talking
with a daycare -- not in a house, but on the western most lot. And that would probably
start 6:30, 7:00 o'clock in the morning as well. It's just tough to find a user anymore
that's going to be able to fit an 8:00 o'clock opening. We run our construction office out
in Eagle and, you know, our guys start showing up at 6:00 o'clock and so we are
requesting to change the hours to 6:00 in the morning to 10:00 p.m. seven days a week
on that part, which is -- that shows that it's three lots. It is still one lot right now. So, I'll
be glad to answer any questions you guys might have.
De Weerd: Council -- oh, no. Council, over there. Council, any questions?
Bird: I have none.
Rountree: None.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you. Is there anyone who would like to testify in this
application? Okay. Council, do you need any further information?
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I move we close Item 14, MI 04-010.
Rountree: Second.
De Weerd: It's been moved and seconded to close the Public Hearing on Item 14. All
those in favor say aye. All ayes. Motion carries.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I move we approve MI 04-010, modifying the hours to 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.,
seven days a week for Cherry Crossing Subdivision by Robnett Construction,
Incorporated, and incorporate all staff and applicant comments.

De Weerd: It's been moved and seconded to approve Item 14. Is there any further

Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Wardle, excused.
MOTION CARRIED: TWO AYES. ONE EXCUSED.
Item 15:
Public Hearing: MI 04-009 Request to allow a one-time lot division to
separate an un-platted parcel into two parcels in an I-L zone for Joe
Pachner by Joe Pachner - 850 West Franklin Road:
De Weerd: Thank you. Item 15 is Public Hearing MI 04-009. I'll open this Public
Hearing with staff comments. And Mr. Wardle has joined us again.
Wardle: Thank you, Madam Mayor.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, this is a request to allow a one time
lot division, essentially, to be more specific, it's to allow a reduction in platting
requirements as we discussed in the past and it's for a currently unplatted parcel in an 1-
L zone, so that request by city code does need come before you. We are on Franklin
Road and the nearest cross street is Meridian. Nearest major cross street on the north
side of the road. The applicant has not done a survey yet, but their general intent is to
just divide the property in half to make two squares there. As Ms. Allen was -- in her
communications with the applicant, he -- the applicant had not offered to make this
property subject to a future full subdivision and Ms. Allen did not know that that was an
item of let's say potential interest for the City Council. I know that when the Van Auker
split came up the other day that I got the impression from Council that you were more
comfortable with the split, because you knew that that would be the subject of a
preliminary plat application in the near future. So, it admittedly came at the last
moment, staff has provided an optional condition for you, but we were not able to talk to
the applicant before that went into the staff report. I believe just from the brief all of ten
second conversation I was able to squeeze in between a couple of items, that they are
generally opposed to that condition and I did want to apologize kind of in advance for
not raising it. These, again, are kind of new and Ms. Allen did not know that that was an
issue of concern for Council. So, if the Council wishes to make that a fifth condition, we
have provided that wording for you and we did also include a cross-access agreement,
because one of the properties will not have any frontage on Franklin Road. And with
that I will end staff's comments.
De Weerd: Okay. Questions for staff at this point?
Bird: I have none, Mayor.
De Weerd: Okay. Does the applicant have any comments? I'm sure he does. You
waited this long to talk. Were you sworn in?

Pachner: I haven't been sworn in, no.
De Weerd: Okay. Is the testimony you provide tonight the truth, the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Pachner: Yes, it is.
De Weerd: Thank you. Please state your name and address.
Pachner: Joe Pachner, 10371 Skycrest Drive. Madam Mayor, Members of the Council,
as stated, we don't object to the conditions of approval. We do question this additional
requirement for a subdivision application because the intended use is very compatible
all the adjacent landowners -- or land uses in that area, but if that is a requirement we
will go along with it.
De Weerd: Okay. Council, do you have any questions? Need clarification? No?
Thank you. Council, what would you like to do?
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Hearing nobody wanting any more information or anything, I move we close the
Public Hearing MI 04-009.
Rountree: Second.
De Weerd: It's been moved and seconded to close Item 15. All those in favor say aye.
All ayes. Motion carries.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
De Weerd: Any discussion? If not, I'd entertain a motion.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Bird.
Bird: I move we approve M I 04-009 and to incorporate staff and applicant comments.
Wardle: Second.
De Weerd: It's been moved and seconded to approve Item 15. Is that without the
additional --
Bird: Yes.
Meridian City Council

Page 71 of 84
De Weerd: Okay. I just wanted that clarification.
Rountree: Is that with or without condition five?
Bird: I beg your pardon?
De Weerd: With or without condition five?
Bird: Without.
De Weerd: Okay.
Wardle: Second agrees.
De Weerd: Okay.
Bird: Isn't that what -- isn't that what staff said, that they are --
Rountree: No. They suggested that we have condition five for the subdivision.
Bird: Okay. No. Without.
De Weerd: Without. Okay. Mr. Berg.
Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Wardle, yea.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
De Weerd: Thank you. We are getting late. Item 16 --
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, if I could, just a brief discussion. I
know Kevin is just -- doesn't mind waiting at all. Do you want us, on these future
applications, that it's necessary or should we just try and figure out where it may be
appropriate and whether or not -- I just want some -- I want to make sure we get the
guidance.
De Weerd: I think they trust your judgment. Mr. Wardle?
Wardle: Madam Mayor, I certainly was going to say that as well, but if you need
something a little clearer, I would say that on an application such as this -- there are
certainly applications which would need to -- I think that could utilize the re-subdivision
and the extra step and the extra fee and all of those things associated with it, but we will
leave that to your judgment to bring those forward.

Item 16:
Public Hearing: MI 04-008 Request to modify the condition of the
approved Preliminary Plat regarding the 5-foot wide asphalt pathway
within Nampa Meridian Irrigation District's easement for Castlebrook
Subdivision No.3 by Liberty Development, Inc. - east of North Black
Cat Road and south of West Cherry Lane:
De Weerd: Okay. Clear as mud? Okay. Item 16 is a Public Hearing for MI 04-008.
will open this Public Hearing for all those wishing to testify with staff comments.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, we -- you had an opportunity to
discuss this issue, actually, a few weeks ago as related to Chesterfield, which is just
south of here, and the issue was the applicant offered as a -- offered an off-site
improvement a s part of his a pplication for C astlebrook Subdivision NO.2 preliminary
plat and that offer was to -- I think I have a -- yeah -- was to construct an off-site
pathway within the Nampa-Meridian Irrigation District easement and at that time we
assumed that it would just fall within other easements that we have or other
arrangements that -- other arrangements that we have with the Nampa-Meridian
Irrigation District. When Mr. Amar went to go plat the third final plat, this issue came up
-- I'll show you that. No, I can't show you the third final plat. Sorry. It covers a portion --
this portion of the pathway. And the Nampa-Meridian Irrigation District said, no, you
can't build a private pathway in that easement, it has to be a City of Meridian pathway
and -- he needs to take out the pathway. So, the question before Council tonight is
would you like to take over ownership of that pathway when it connects. We will have
one on the north side of the drain and on the south side of the drain. So, we will have
two pathway systems. There is a bridge connecting to the park at this location. So,
that's one option and that wouldn't require modification to the preliminary plat
necessarily. The other option would be to just relieve him of the requirement to
construct a pathway.
De Weerd: Okay. Council, questions?
Bird: I don't have any questions.
Canning: I'm sorry, Madam Mayor. In Chesterfield I believe what -- I might have to go
back and look up the exact wording and maybe Mr. Amar could help me, but I believe
the decision was that the homeowners association would take care of maintenance of
the property until such time as the City of Meridian was ready to assume those
responsibilities. And that's similar to language we have throughout the city. The intent
is always that the city will eventually take over maintenance of those pathways. Now
I'm done. Sorry.
De Weerd: Thank you. Council, now do you have any questions? Okay.
Rountree: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Rountree.
Meridian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 73 of 84
Rountree: Not a question. Maybe a concern if we don't have any comments from parks
and recreation folks who would have to take this on within their budget and their
resources, I assume, at some point in time in the future.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I was a little dismayed that -- the no
comment stamp that came back from Mr. Strong.
De Weerd: Would the Council liaison like to comment?
Wardle: Madam Mayor, I'm not going to comment on the specific actions of the
department head in regards to this, as far as it wasn't discussed with myself or -- in the
scope of his duties. We are going to hear from the applicant in just a minute; right?
De Weerd: Uh-huh.
Wardle: I'll hang onto my comments until then.
De Weerd: Okay. Is the applicant here?
Amar: In body.
De Weerd: Were you sworn in?
Amar: No.
De Weerd: Is the testimony you provide tonight the truth, the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth, so help you God?
Amar: Yes.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Amar: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Council Members. For the record, Kevin Amar. I'll
make this really brief.
De Weerd: And your address.
Amar: 114 East Idaho, Suite 230.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Amar: This is similar to the application in Chesterfield. In Chesterfield, as well as this
one, this is something that was not required by the city, it's not a portion of a PUD -- in
fact, Castlebrook is not a PUD, it's a straight subdivision. It is something that we had
requested doing to improve that area that's always left open to weed -- weeds and
Meridian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 74 of 84
nuisances. At the time we went forward Nampa-Meridian had the policy of allowing a
pathway, public or private, on their -- in this case their land. This is not an easement,
they actually own the property. Since, then, their policy has changed and they require
that it be a public pathway. So, our request and our hope is not that it be removed, I still
want the pathway and I still want it landscaped, make it a public pathway and we will
maintain it until the city tells us they don't want us to maintain it anymore. So, as far as I
believe Councilmember Rountree's question of does the parks department have the
money in the budget, in my opinion if the parks department never wants to take it over,
they don't have to. That will be a determination by the parks department. Some day
they may want to, but if they don't have it in the budget, we are setting it up and it's
always been our intent to have the homeowners association maintain it anyway. So,
whether it's public or private, the homeowners association was still going to maintain it.
Rountree: So, I guess my question is Nampa-Meridian District's position is public in the
sense that it's open to anybody or public in the sense that it's owned and operated or
operated by a public entity?
Amar: In a conversation that we had -- and I believe, Anna, were you in that meeting
when we spoke with Bill Hinton? He didn't care who maintained it, he just wanted a
public pathway. The pathway maintenance and -- I believe in Chesterfield we talked
about that, it can be sent out to whatever private entity to maintain a pathway, but it's a
public pathway.
De Weerd: Okay. Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: Madam Mayor, just to clarify, I believe the condition that Nampa-Meridian
Irrigation puts on is something that they are -- this is a new policy for them. If the city is
willing to take the ownership, certainly, the homeowners association could maintain it
and I think it's something that maybe -- I'm not sure if we have to look into it legally or if
this is -- the policy has begun because of some of the state statutes for open recreation
and those kinds of things as far as liability is concerned and I think it's at least worth
looking into for future developments to look at -- and especially this one, but if the city
needs -- is going to get pathways -- and we had a pathway comment earlier, we need to
do some creative things and this is one of t he -- one of t he things -- this developer
wants a pathway, thinks it's an amenity, I agree, and if we can make it available we
should and we should maybe look into doing this on future projects if the opportunity
arises with the development community and the irrigation district.
Amar: I could comment about the preliminary plat. I think all of mine should just be
approved, I don't need to -- I'll leave that for your discretion. But I also don't always get
what I want.
Rountree: With staff conditions.
Amar: I just want to throw it out there.
Meridian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 75 of 84
De Weerd: Well, thank you for that--
Amar: I have sat here that long, I expect my voice to be heard. Not listened to, but
heard.
De Weerd: Your time is up. Anything else?
Amar: Thank you.
Watson: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes.
Watson: I know it's late and I hate to prolong the agony. I just want to be clear. His
plat has been hung up in my office for months because of this last lingering issue. What
will need to happen, in realty, is that the city will have to approve and sign on the dotted
line an addendum to the license agreement. That's what I'm reading anyway.
Amar: Can I address that?
De W eerd: You bet.
Amar: Condition number three of the Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law state
the pathway shall be constructed prior to the issuance of the first certificate of
occupancy permit of any lots adjacent to the pathway, which, to me, indicates that the
final plat will be recorded and we can be building houses. The pathway just has to be
constructed prior to a certificate of occupancy. So, I don't think that would be hung up in
your office.
Watson: Madam Mayor, I don't have those conditions in front of me, but the
construction I don't think is the issue. I think we required that you have a license
agreement for the pathway prior to plat signature. But that license agreement couldn't
be obtained between your company and Nampa-Meridian and so I think we are headed
into a direction where you're willing to be the contact, so to speak, on the operation and
maintenance, but the city is the licensee. So, it puts the city in a position of being the
contact for the irrigation district and enforcing the maintenance with the homeowners
association, unless I'm misunderstanding this.
Amar: I don't see the license agreement; I'm just looking real quick, though. So, I could
be -- I have been heard, just not listened to.
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I also -- Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I don't have the conditions in
front of me, but it would appear to me that they are going to have to have some
amendment to the condition to make sure that it's clear as to where the future
Meridian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 76 of 84
ownership and maintenance of this pathway is going to be and that's the condition we
are amending tonight. Once that's done, then, I don't think there is a particular hold up.
There should be some acknowledgment from Nampa-Meridian at that juncture that that
meets their satisfaction to allow that pathway to be there.
Amar: I was wrong, it does say that the license agreement shall be signed prior to the
signature on the final plat. I guess I would --
Bird: That's the condition put on it.
Amar: Correct. I guess I would ask for some consideration. We have been sitting in
Brad's office for a long time. Or remove the condition of the pathway. I guess that -- I
want the pathway there, I would be happy to move forward, but modify a condition so I
can be 0 ut 0 f Brad's office and get onto the Priester's office -- on the P riester, Don
Priester. I'm still more than willing to put in a pathway, I just want to move forward with
the project.
De Weerd: Okay. So, Mr. Nary, what do we need to do so this can all happen?
Nary: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I guess what I -- what I guess it is is still
up to Mr. Amar. I mean what I thought your testimony was that you're willing to
construct it and the only condition that the City of Meridian has to agree to is that at
some point in the future, if the city really wants to, they can take over ownership. With
that acknowledgment of -- if the Council is willing to do that tonight, I guess I don't know
how much more delay there would be with Nampa-Meridian. I would assume it wouldn't
be much and, then, Mr. Watson could sign your plat.
Amar: Or the license agreement with Nampa-Meridian, which could take two to three
months, so --
Nary: And your only other option, then, is to -- to not agree to that condition and remove
the condition to build the pathway there, which you're saying you want anyway. You
were saying if you remove the condition, you will just build it anyway? And, then, the
Council doesn't -- and, Mr. Watson, I --
Amar: Accept it as public. I guess -- I guess I'm a little confused on the semantics. If
the city is saying that we have to -- they are not going to issue -- in the conditions they
won't issue any certificate of occupancies for those lots adjacent to the pathway prior to
the pathway being constructed, can we sign the final plat and move forward? That
holds a number of lots for me to sell those lots, which gives me guarantee or effort to
construct this pathway. It still moves the process forward, everybody gets what they
want, but the process isn't delayed on my behalf for another couple of months while I'm
waiting for semantics. I mean we are -- I guess that's what I'm asking. I'm not trying to
be difficultly, I'm not trying to be anything, I'm sure Anna's tired of me calling and asking
and I'm sure Brad is also. It's an issue we have been talking about for months.

Nary: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I guess, Mr. Watson, I mean what --
what's your thoughts on what he's asking? He's simply saying if there is a condition
that, instead, deals -- allows you to sign the plat now and there is some other conditions
later that still assure the performance of having the pathway constructed, would that be
satisfactory .
Watson: Madam Mayor, yes, I guess it boils down to whether you want the pathway
there. If the answer is yes, then, that condition tied to the final plat signature could be
deleted and the construction of it could be tied to another milestone, such as COs on
those lots backing up to it.
Amar: Which it is tied to that already.
Watson: Right.
De Weerd: Okay.
Nary: So, you can do that?
Watson: Yes.
De Weerd: Any further clarification, Council, on what's being requested?
Rountree: Probably for specificity, if Brad has the condition number and the
modification, I assume, would be to -- if we want to do this, to allow the signature of the
final plat, without agreement with Nampa-Meridian, all other conditions to be complied
with.
Watson: Madam Mayor and Councilmember Rountree, it's in 1.13 of the order of
conditional approval. Submit a signed license agreement with Nampa-Meridian
Irrigation District for the pathway and culvert foot-bridge prior to signature on the final
plat. That's the way it reads right now. You could probably delete that whole sentence.
Rountree: Okay. And still accomplish the path.
Watson: There will need to be a license agreement at some point in the future.
Rountree: Actually, you could leave the first part of that sentence and just strike the
signature of the final plat.
Watson: Sure.
Rountree: Okay.
De Weerd: Okay. Okay. Well--

De Weerd: Thank you, Mr. Clerk. I guess while we have this in front of us, I'd ask Mr.
Nary, is there any chance that we could just show these ordinances by title only up on
the screen and that would meet the criteria or does it have to be read into the record?
Nary: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council -- I thought you wouldn't call on me,
that's why I came over here. What the state statute says is they have to be read once
by title. At least the only other place I have ever had experience they don't read them
Meridian City Council
October 5. 2004
Page 81 of 84
by title. They list them on the agenda by title, they acknowledge them on the Consent
Agenda by title, and if they waive the reading rules, they put it in the actual title of the
ordinance that they are waiving the reading rules and they pass it on the Consent
Agenda.
De Weerd: Can you perhaps work with the city clerk on a process here, so that -- you
know, while we love to hear from the city clerk --
Nary: Madam Mayor, what I was going to propose -- I know -- I know it's disappointing
that we didn't solve all the problems in the first day, because I know you had a lot of
expectations for the 5th of October and, I'm sorry, as I told people, I remembered where
I worked and I remember what I did, and that was probably all I could do for the first
day, but what my expectation was is we have an issue about the ordinance regarding
appointing of officers that we need to clarify next week and fix. There is a couple of
other issues, administrative types of issues -- one of them is the swearing in of all of the
audience. I think we have had that issue come up previously and the Council has
requested that we change that and delete that provision from the code. Our normal
process is to have that on pre-Council for discussion. What I was planning to do is I'm
hoping to be able to have by next week at least a couple of t hose things, the more
administrative function types of things, so that we can get the process moving a little bit
faster on pre-Council, so I'm hoping to have as many of them as I can get done by the
end of this week on your agenda next Tuesday. If you think they are satisfactory and
you're willing to move forward, you can always move them onto your regular agenda
and pass them if you want to do that. So, some of those things we can do. Like I said,
the state code doesn't -- there is no case I'm aware of in the state of Idaho that was
challenged because they didn't actually read the ordinance out loud.
De Weerd: And we could also read it to ourselves.
Nary: Right. The statute says it has to be read once by title. It doesn't say it has to be
read out loud.
De Weerd: Thank you. Well, we will look forward to you bringing those clarifications
back to us.
Rountree: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes.
Rountree: I think we have an executive session to adjourn to, but before we do --
Bird: We've got to pass these.
Rountree: What's that?
Bird: We've got to pass these three ordinances.
Meridian CIty Council

Rountree: We've got to pass the three ordinances, number one, so I will move that we
approve ordinances 04-1104, 04-1105,04-1106, with suspension of rules.
Bird: Second.
De Weerd: It's been moved and seconded to approve Items 18, 19, and 20, ordinances
that were read by title. Is there any further discussion? Mr. Berg.
Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Wardle, yea.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Rountree: Madam Mayor, one point before we break for executive session and I got a
sense that we were a contributor to the issues as it related to Mrs. Bohrn's garage
and --
De Weerd: And this is for Anna.
Rountree: And this is for Anna. And also for Bill. I'm suggesting for consideration do
we offer to Mrs. Bohrn the opportunity to appeal the denial if she can arrange her
dwelling in such a way that she can meet all the other ordinance requirements of the
city and that if she can do that and chooses to appeal, that we waive the cost of the
appeal and I would just ask for comments and considerations on that.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, Mr. Nary also, there -- when I sent
her the second letter, I did make the appeal date subject to that second letter and it's
always seemed to me to be a little bit of a useful loop hole in that someone can ask a
director's determination and, then, the appeal date is set from that date, so I'm not sure
that she couldn't -- I guess this would be the question for Mr. Nary. Can she ask for a
reconsideration of that letter that if she were able to do that all in her house could she
be approved and, then, I could write the letter based on that request? It would just be a
determination letter. And it always seemed a little bit of a loophole. I did offer, by the
way, to write that letter for her, but she was not interested, she wanted to have it in the
garage. It was not an option to just have it in the house, so --
Nary: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I was -- in fact, part of the reason I did
come sit over here was to talk to Mrs. Canning about some opportunity we might have
to talk to Mrs. Bohrn a bout what does she do now, because, obviously, she's got a
concern that she's been damaged by her neighbors, she may believe that the city has
somehow caused that damage as well, and so we need to figure out what exactly we
can do. Our ordinance says in-home occupations that you can't use your garage at all
for a home occupation. There isn't anywhere -- there isn't an exception for that, except
by a variance. But that's no longer a garage, it's now living space, and so it's certainly
Meridian City Council
October 5, 2004
Page 83 of 84
eligible to be used for that. Just because it seems to violate a provision about not
having a garage on your property, doesn't mean it isn't eligible for an accessory use.
So, I think we -- Mrs. Canning and I need to probably sit down and figure out what do
we do, so we can maybe at least approach Mrs. Bohrn and say here is what we can
come up with, here is what we think you can do, I just need to figure that out in my mind
tonight as to how do we do that.
Rountree: That's all I'm asking.
Nary: Sure.
Rountree: Some way to continue a dialogue with her.
Wardle: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: I would agree and also another comment that Councilman Rountree made is if
there is an opportunity to waive some of those fees, because of some of the confusion,
whatever process we have that might seem reasonable, I think that would be in order as
well.
Nary: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I think before we would probably
suggest waiving a fee, that would certainly come back to you before -- before we would
recommend doing that. The only other thing I'd add to your question, Council member
Rountree, is because the process is completed, I think it would be -- I think it would
make more sense to waive a new application fee, rather than go backwards and do a
reconsideration of something that was decided two months ago.
Rountree: Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Thank you.
De Weerd: Well, yes, if you just discuss that and maybe report back via memo to
Council on what the steps would be.
Bird: Tomorrow would be fine.
De Weerd: Later tonight.
Bird: Madam Mayor, I move we go into executive session as per Idaho State Code 67-
2345( 1 )(b).
Rountree: Second.
De Weerd: It's been moved and seconded to adjourn into executive session. Mr. Berg,
would you call roll.

EXHIBIT E
The City Council hereby approves the following analysis of required findings by staff:
ANNEXATION & ZONING ANALYSIS
According to Ordinance 11-15-11, General Standards Applicable to Zoning
Amendments, both the P&Z 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 J 1-15-11 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;
Staff finds that the proposed zoning designation, R-8. is harmonious with and in
accordance with the 2002 Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map, which
designates the land to be Medium Density Residential. There is a minimum target
density of three dwelling units per acre in the Comprehensive Plan; the proposed
gross density of Chatsworth Subdivision is 3.97 dwelling units per acre. The
Future Land Use Map shows a future community park in this square mile.
However, the Parks Department is not seeking to acquire any land from the
applicant.
B. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be rezoned in the
future;
Staff does not anticipate that the applicant intends to rezone the subject property
in the future. There are several large, undeveloped county parcels to the west and
south of this land and additional annexation/rezone requests are anticipated on
these parcels in the future. .
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 single-family residential subdivision would be
allowed within the requested zoning district of R-8. The accompanying plat
demonstrates the land would be developed in lot sizes, housing types and other
dimensional requirements that conform to the proposed zoning designation.
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 adj acent area being developed
in a fashion similar to the proposed rezone area;
Staff finds that the land directly north and east of the subject property is annexed
and approved for development similar to the proposed subdivision (Roseleaf
Subdivision and Tuscany Lakes Subdivision). Tuscany Village Subdivision and
Sageland Subdivision were also recently approved residential developments in the
area. Tuscany Lakes Subdivision is located near the southwest comer of Locust
Grove Road and Victory Road and Sageland Subdivision is on the northeast
comer of Locust Grove Road and Victory Road. The majority of Section 30,
Township 3 North, Range 1 East is designated for residential.development similar
to the proposed project. This is the third annexation application the City has
processed within the northeast quarter of Section 30.
Locust Grove Road is designated as a Section Line Road on the Functional Street
Classification Map. This section of Locust Grove Road abutting the site is not
currently programmed within ACHD's Five Year Work Program or Capital
Improvement Program for roadway improvements.
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;
The existing charaCter of the area will, and is, currently changing, especially upon
build-out of the proposed project and other similar subdivisions in the general
vicinity. Staff finds that the proposed R-8 zoning and subsequent single-family
residential uses proposed in the preliminary plat are consistent with the intended
character of the vicinity, as depicted on the Future Land Use Map. Staff also finds
that the proposed zoning/uses can be designed and constructed in a manner that
will be hannonious with and appropriate in appearance with the existing and
intended character of the surrounding area. Although there will be an impact of
the subject development on the existing character of the area (agricultural), staff
finds that the impact is consistent with the intended character of the area; a mix of
low and medium density residential.
F. Will the proposed uses not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future
neighboring uses;
The Commission and Council should rely on public testimony (oral and written)
to determine whether or not the proposed zoning and subsequent uses will be
disturbing or hazardous to the existing or future neighboring uses.
Staff does not anticipate that the proposed residential uses will be hazardous as
long as landscaping, fencing and the other conditions outlined in this report are
complied with and construction traffic and house construction is conducted in a
manner consistent with City Code.
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 in
Locust Grove Road, however, the applicant has preliminarily designed the sewer
to flow out through the proposed Roseleaf Subdivision. 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.
On August 11, 2004, the ACHD Commission approved this development with
site-specific and standard conditions. Please review the ACHD report for
additional information regarding this finding.
On July 23, 2004, a joint agency/department comments meeting was held with
representatives of key service providers to this property. A concern about
secondary emergency access to this site has been raised by the Meridian Fire
Department. See Site Specific Condition # 9 in the Preliminary Plat section ofthis
report, and the detailed comments and conditions from agencies attending the
comments meeting at the end of this report. 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 the Meridian Police and Fire Departments, or any other
public service provider, regarding their ability to adequately service this project.
NOTE: Sanitary Service Company (SSC) will not enter privately owned common
driveways in residential subdivisions to pick-up trash. MCC 4-1-11.B.4 requires
all trash cans "be placed as close to the curb as possible, or in alleys if the
property has alley access. The solid waste containers shall be clear of pedestrian
and vehicular traffic at all times. Solid waste containers shall be clearly visible
and accessible to the waste collection personnel and free from obstructions
including, but not limited to, trees, shrubbery, fences, vehicles, and walls." The
impact of this ordinance on Lots 12-15, and Lots 3-6, Block 5, is that property
owners will have to haul their trash cans from the residence to the public street.
SSC is requesting a condition that all trash cans for Lots 3-6, and 12-15, Block 5,
be placed no more than five (5) feet behind the sidewalk off the adjacent public
street. (See Preliminary Plat Site Specific Condition #11)
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, police and school
facilities and services. Staff finds there will not be excessive additional
requirements at public cost and that the rezone 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 finds that the proposed annexation and the development of single-family
homes on this site will not involve uses that will create nuisances that would be
detrimental to the general welfare of the surrounding area.
ACHD projects this development will generate 760 additional vehicle trips per
day. Staff recognizes the fact that traffic and noise will increase with the approval
of this subdivision; 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 traffic, noise,
smoke, fumes, glare, or odors.
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 location of the proposed new entry road, Tiber Drive, has been approved by
ACHD. Tiber Drive is located approximately 285-feet from the Tuscany Lakes
Subdivision entry road (palermo Drive) on the east side of Locust Grove Road.
Further, the applicant is proposing to extend a stub street from Roseleaf
Subdivision to provide access to the site, limiting the amount of interference with
traffic on surrounding classified streets.
lfthe two proposed vehicular approaches are constructed as approved by ACHD,
staff does not believe that the subdivision will create interference with traffic on
the surrounding public streets. Please review the ACHD report for this project for
additional information regarding this finding.
K. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic
feature of major importance; and
Staff finds that no natural or scenic features of major importance will be lost or
damaged by approving the annexation and rezone. 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 (medium density residential). The
land east and north of the subject property has already been annexed and this is a
logical expansion of existing zoning and land uses. In accordance with the
findings listed above, stafffinds that the annexation/rezone of this propertv would
be in the best interest of the City.
EXHIBIT F
The City Council hereby approves the following analysis of required findings by staff:
PRELIMINARY PLAT FINDINGS AND REQUIREMENTS
Sections 12-3-3 1.2 and 12-3-5 D read as follows: "In determining the acceptance of a
proposed subdivision, the Commission/Council shall consider the objectives of this title
and at least the following:
A. The conformance of the subdivision with the Comprehensive Development
Plan;
Staff finds that the proposed application is in substantial compliance with the
adopted Future Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan (Chapter VII). The
proposed density, 3.97 dwelling units per acre (gross), is in compliance with the
land use classification, medium density residential, noted on the map.
B. The availability of public services to accommodate the proposed
development;
Staff finds that public services are available to accommodate the proposed
development. (See finding "G" under Annexation and Zoning Analysis for more
detail. )
C. The continuity of the proposed development with the capital improvement
program;
Because the developer is installing sewer, water, and utilities for the development
at their cost, staff finds that the subdivision will not require the expenditure of
capital improvement funds.
D. The public fmancial capability of supporting services for the proposed
development;
Staff recommends the Commission and Council rely upon comments from the
public service providers (i.e. police, fire, ACHD, etc) to determine this finding.
(See finding "G" under Annexation and Zoning Analysis above, and the Agency
Comments and Conditions at the end of this report for more detail.)
E. The other health, safety or environmental problems that may be brought to
the Commission's attention.
Staff is not aware of any health, safety or environmental problems associated with
the development of this subdivision that should be brought to the Councilor
Commission's attention. ACHD considers road safety issues in their analysis;
ACHD staff has approved this subdivision, with conditions. Staff recommends
that the Commission and Council reference any public testimony that may be
presented to determine whether or not the proposed subdivision may cause health,
safety or environmental problems of which staff is unaware.

EXHffiIT E
The City Council hereby approves the following analysis of required findings by staff:
ANNEXA nON & ZONING ANALYSIS
According to Ordinance 11-15-11, General Standards Applicable to Zoning
Amendments, both the P&Z 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 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;
Staff finds that the proposed zoning designation, R-8, is harmonious with and in
accordance with the 2002 Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map, which
designates the land to be Medium Density Residential. There is a minimum target
density of three dwelling units per acre in the Comprehensive Plan; the proposed
gross density of Chatsworth Subdivision is 3.97 dwelling units per acre. The
Future Land Use Map shows a future community park in this square mile.
However, the Parks Department is not seeking to acquire any land from the
applicant.
B. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be rezoned in the
future;
Staff does not anticipate that the applicant intends to rezone the subject property
in the future. There are several large) undeveloped county parcels to the west and
south of this land and additional annexation/rezone requests are anticipated on
these parcels in the future. -
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 single-family residential subdivision would be
allowed within the requested zoning district of R-8. The accompanying plat
demonstrates the land would be developed in lot sizes, housing types and other
dimensional requirements that conform to the proposed zoning designation.
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;
Staff finds that the land directly north and east of the subject property is annexed
and approved for development similar to the proposed subdivision (Roseleaf
Subdivision and Tuscany Lakes Subdivision). Tuscany Village Subdivision and
Sageland Subdivision were also recently approved residential developments in the
area. Tuscany Lakes Subdivision is located near the southwest comer of Locust
Grove Road and Victory Road and Sageland Subdivision is on the northeast
comer of Locust Grove Road and Victory Road. The majority of Section 30,
Township 3 North, Range 1 East is designated for residential.development similar
to the proposed project. This is the third annexation application the City has
processed within the northeast quarter of Section 30.
Locust Grove Road is designated as a Section Line Road on the Functional Street
Classification Map. This section of Locust Grove Road abutting the site is not
currently programmed within ACHD's Five Year Work Program or Capital
Improvement Program for roadway improvements.
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;
The existing character of the area will, and is, currently changing, especially upon
build-out of the proposed project and other similar subdivisions in the general
vicinity. Staff finds that the proposed R-8 zoning and subsequent single-family
residential uses proposed in the preliminary plat are consistent with the intended
character of the vicinity, as depicted on the Future Land Use Map. Staff also finds
that the proposed zoning/uses can be designed and constructed in a manner that
will be harmonious with and appropriate in appearance with the existing and
intended character of the surrounding area. Although there will be an impact of
the subject development on the existing character of the area (agricultural), staff
finds that the impact is consistent with the intended character of the area; a mix of
low and medium density residential.
F. Will the proposed uses not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future
neighboring uses;
The Commission and Council should rely on public testimony (oral and written)
to determine whether or not the proposed zoning and subsequent uses will be
disturbing or hazardous to the existing or future neighboring uses.
Staff does not anticipate that the proposed residential uses will be hazardous as
long as landscaping, fencing and the other conditions outlined in this report are
complied with and construction traffic and house construction is conducted in a
manner consistent with City Code.
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 in
Locust Grove Road, however, the applicant has preliminarily designed the sewer
to flow out through the proposed Roseleaf Subdivision. 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.
On August 11,2004, the ACHD Commission approved this development with
site-specific and standard conditions. Please review the ACHD report for
additional information regarding this finding.
On July 23, 2004, a joint agency/department comments meeting was held with
representatives of key service providers to this property. A concern about
secondary emergency access to this site has been raised by the Meridian Fire
Department. See Site Specific Condition # 9 in the Preliminary Plat section of this
report, and the detailed comments and conditions from agencies attending the
comments meeting at the end of this report. 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 the Meridian Police and Fire Departments, or any other
public service provider, regarding their ability to adequately service this project.
NOTE: Sanitary Service Company (SSC) will not enter privately owned common
driveways in residential subdivisions to pick-up trash. MCC 4-1-11.B.4 requires
all trash cans "be placed as close to the curb as possible, or in alleys if the
property has alley access. The solid waste containers shall be clear of pedestrian
and vehicular traffic at all times. Solid waste containers shall be clearly visible
and accessible to the waste collection personnel and free from obstructions
including, but not limited to, trees, shrubbery, fences, vehicles, and walls." The
impact of this ordinance on Lots 12-15, and Lots 3-6" Block 5, is that property
owners will have to haul their trash cans from the residence to the public street.
SSC is requesting a condition that all trash cans for Lots 3-6, and 12-15, Block 5,
be placed no more than five (5) feet behind the sidewalk off the adjacent public
street. (See Preliminary Plat Site Specific Condition #11)
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, police and school
facilities and services. Staff finds there will not be excessive additional
requirements at public cost and that the rezone 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 finds that the proposed annexation and the development of single-family
homes on this site will not involve uses that will create nuisances that would be
detrimental to the general welfare of the surrounding area.
ACHD projects this development will generate 760 additional vehicle trips per
day. Staff recognizes the fact that traffic and noise will increase with the approval
of this subdivision; 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 traffic, nOIse,
smoke, fumes, glare, or odors.
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 location of the proposed new entry road, Tiber Drive, has been approved by
ACHD. Tiber Drive is located approximately 285-feet from the Tuscany Lakes
Subdivision entry road (Palermo Drive) on the east side of Locust Grove Road.
Further, the applicant is proposing to extend a stub street. from Roseleaf
Subdivision to provide access to the site, limiting the amount of interference with
traffic on surrounding classified streets.
If the two proposed vehicular approaches are constructed as approved by ACHD,
staff does not believe that the subdivision will create interference with traffic on
the surrounding public streets. Please review the ACHD report for this project for
additional information regarding this finding.
K. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic
feature of major importance; and
Staff finds that no natural or scenic features of major importance will be lost or
damaged by approving the annexation and rezone. 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 (medium density residential). The
land east and north of the subject property has already been annexed and this is a
logical expansion of existing zoning and land uses. In accordance with the
findings listed above, staff finds that the annexation/rezone of this property would
be in the best interest of the City.

EXHffiIT F
The City Council hereby approves the following analysis of required findings by staff:
PRELIMINARY PLAT FINDINGS AND REQUIREMENTS
Sections 12-3-3 J.2 and 12-3-5 D read as follows: "In determining the acceptance ofa
proposed subdivision, the Commission/Council shall consider the objectives of this title
and at least the following:
A. The conformance of the subdivision with the Comprehensive Development
Plan;
Staff finds that the proposed application is in substantial compliance with the
adopted Future Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan (Chapter VII). The
proposed denSIty, 3.97 dwelling units per acre (gross), is in compliance with the
land use classification, medium density residential, noted on the map.
B. The availability of public services to accommodate the proposed
development;
Staff finds that public services are available to accommodate the proposed
development. (See finding "G" under Annexation and Zoning Analysis for more
detail. )
C. The continuity of the proposed development with the capital improvement
program;
Because the developer is installing sewer, water, and utilities for the development
at their cost, staff finds that the subdivision will not require the expenditure of
capital improvement funds.
D. The public rmancial capability of supporting services for the proposed
development;
Staff recommends the Commission and Council rely upon comments from the
public service providers (i.e. police, fire, ACHD, etc) to determine this finding.
(See finding "G" under Annexation and Zoning Analysis above, and the Agency
Comments and Conditions at the end of this report for more detail.)
E. The other health, safety or environmental problems that may be brought to
the Commission's attention.
Staff is not aware of any health, safety or environmental problems associated with
the development of this subdivision that should be brought to the Councilor
Commission's attention. ACHD considers road safety issues in their analysis;
ACHD staffhas approved this subdivision, with conditions. Staff recommends
that the Commission and Council reference any public testimony that may be
presented to determine whether or not the proposed subdivision may cause health,
safety or environmental problems of which staff is unaware.

EXHIBIT D
The City Council hereby approves the following analysis of required findings by staff,
with strikethrough l1lodffications, as noted.
STANDARDS FOR ZONING AMENDMENT
The Commission and Council shall review the particular facts and circumstances of each
proposed zoning amendment in terms of the follawing standards and shall find adequate
evidence answering the following questions about the proposed zoning amendment (11-
15-11):
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;
Staff finds that the requested Old Town (O-T) zoning designation is in accord
with the Comprehensive Plan's Future Land Use Map, which delineates the
subject property as "Old-Town" _ The text of the Comprehensive Plan (page 99)
supports a variety of uses in the 0- T zone, including offices and retail. In
addition, it states, "In order to provide and accommodate preservation of the
historical character, specific design requirements may be imposed. Pedestrian
amenities would be emphasized."
B. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be re-zoned in the
future;
Staff finds that the proposed re-zone and accompanying development plans
comply with the requested zone and staff does not anticipate that the property will
be rezoned in the future.
C. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be developed in the
fashion that would be allowed under the new zoning;
Staff finds that the applicant has submitted detailed development plans for a
Conditional Use Permit for the property. Staff further finds that the proposed
office/retail use will only be allowed with the approval of a Conditional Use
Permit in the proposed 0- T zone. Intended setbacks ',..ill be defined by thc
Downtown Transportation !\fanagcment Plan; until the plan is complete and
adoptod, setbacks should be in alignment other structures on the block.
D. Has there been a change in the area or adjacent areas which may dictate that
the area should be rezoned;
Staff finds that the City's Comprehensive Plan has provided the applicant with the
ability to request the O-T zone for the subject property. Much of Meridian Road
has already redeveloped from residential to office or commercial uses.
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 development is designed in a manner that will be
harmonious with and appropriate in appearance with the existing neighborhood,
especially if setbacks are modified in alignmcnt ....rith other existing structures
along the block. The proposed office/commercial use in harmony with the
intended uses in Old Town. Staff is pleased that the applicant has placed the
parking in the rear of the building.
F. Will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighboring uses;
Staff finds that the requested rezone should not be disturbing to existing or future
neighboring uses. Through the comp plan process, the City determined that
compact, infill development is appropriate for the area. Any future change of use
on the property that may have a significant impact on the surrounding properties
will require conditional use approval under current ordinances, and adjoining
property owners will have an opportunity to comment.
Staff anticipates that the proposed office/retail building use will not be hazardous
or disturbing to the neighboring uses. The Commission and Council should
consider all public testimony, oral and writte~ before making this finding.
G. Will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services such as
highways, street, police, and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse
disposal, water, sewer or that the person responsible for the establishment of
proposed conditional use shall be able to provide adequately any such
service;
Staff finds that the proposed uses can be adequately served by all essential public
services and facilities. Drainage will need to be retained on site. Please show the
proposed drainage facilities on the plans to be revised and resubmitted.
H. Will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public
faciJities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of
the community;
Staff finds that the requested uses will not create excessive additional
requirements at public costs for public facilities and services. Additionally, staff
finds that the proposed rezone would not be detrimental to the economic welfare
of the community.
I. Will not involve uses, activities, processes, matel;aIs, equipment, and
conditions that will be detrimental to any persons, property, or general
welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes,
glare or odors;
Staff finds that the proposed 0- T zoning designation of the property does not
inherently allow uses that will generate activities, processes, materials,
equipment, and conditions that are detrimental to the general welfare of the
community.
J. Will have vehicular approaches to the property which shaD be so designed as
not to create an interference with traffic on surrounding pu blic streets;
Staff finds that the proposed 0- T zoning will not interfere with general traffic
patterns on any public streets. Please refer to the revised ACED staff report for a
full report on traffic issues.
K. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic
feature of major importance.
Staff finds that the existing trees on the site are considered dead or dying and may
be removed without mitigation. No other natural or scenic features will be lost or
damaged by the project.
L. Is the pmposed zoning amendment in the best interest of the City;
Staff finds that the proposed rezone would be in the best interest of the City by
allowing a property owner to make improvements to the property for re-
development that would otherwise not be allowed without the rezone.
EXHIBIT E
The City Council hereby approves the following analysis of required findings by staff
STANDARDS FOR CONDITIONAL USES
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;
The proposed building is 2,674 s.f total. Ordinance requires 1 per 400 s.f for
professional office and 1 off-street parking space per 200 s.f for retail uses. Thus,
for an office use, the project would require 7 spaces. 7 spaces are provided per
the site plan. For a retail use, however, the project would require 13 spaces. Staff
finds that the subject property, as depicted, is large enough to accommodate the
required parking, open spaces and landscaping required by the ordinance for an
office use, as long the buffers between land uses are approved under alternative
compliance. The site does not have enough space to accommodate parking for a
retail use. Therefore staff recommends approval of the project for office or other
commercial use provided that parking requirements are met. See condition #2
below.
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 current Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates the property as Old
Town. Staff finds that jfthe modifications required in this report are done, the
application will meet the requirements of the Planned Development and other
Zoning Ordinances. See items A and C under the Zoning Amendment Analysis.
c. That the design, construction, operation, and maintenance will be compatible
with other uses in the general neighborhood and with the existing or
intended character of the general vicinity and that such use will not adversely
change the essential character of the same area;
Staff finds the design concept to be compatible with the intended character of the
area. See item E under the Zoning Amendment Analysis.
D. That the proposed use, if it complies with all conditions of the approval
imposed, will not adversely affect other property in the vicinity;
Staff does not anticipate that the proposed development will have an adverse
impact on the surrounding property. However, the Commission and Council
should consider any testimony given at the public hearings before making this
finding.
E. That the proposed use will be served adequately by essential public facilities
and services such as highways, street, police, and fire protection, drainage
structures, refuse disposal, water, sewer or that the person responsible for
the establishment of proposed conditional use shall be able to provide
adequately any such services;
See comments under the Zoning Amendment Analysis item G.
F. That the proposed use will not create excessive additional requirements at
public cost for public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the
economic welfare of the community;
See comments under the Zoning Amendment Analysis item H.
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;
See comments under the Zoning Amendment Analysis item I.
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;
See comments under the Zoning Amendment Analysis item 1.
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.
See comments under the Zoning Amendment Analysis item K.

EXHIBIT D
The City Council hereby approves the following analysis of required findings by staff,
with strikethrough modifications, as noted.
STANDARDS FOR ZONING AMENDMENT
The Commission and Council shall 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 (11-
15-11):
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;
Staff finds that the requested Old Town (0- T) zoning designation is in accord
with the Comprehensive Plan's Future Land Use Map, which delineates the
subject property as "Old-Town". The text of the Comprehensive Plan (page 99)
supports a variety of uses in the 0- T zone, including offices and retail. In
addition, it states, "In order to provide and accommodate preservation of the
historical character, specific design requirements may be imposed. Pedestrian
amenities would be emphasized."
B. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be re~zoned in the
future;
Staff finds that the proposed re-zone and accompanying development plans
comply with the requested zone and staff does not anticipate that the property will
be rezoned in the future.
C. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be developed in the
fashion that would be allowed under the new zoning;
Staff finds that the applicant has submitted detailed development plans for a
Conditional Use Permit for the property. Staff further finds that the proposed
office/retail use will only be allowed with the approval of a Conditional Use
Permit in the proposed 0- T zone. Intended sctbacks '.,<ill be defined by thc
Do..,mtown Transportation Managcmcnt Plan; until the plan is complete and
adopted, setbacks should bc in alignment other structures on thc block.
D. Has the.'e been a change in the area or adjacent areas which may dictate that
the area should be rezoned;
Staff finds that the City's Comprehensive Plan has provided the applicant with the
ability to request the 0- T zone for the subject property. Much of Meridian Road
has already redeveloped from residential to office or commercial uses.
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 development is designed in a manner that will be
harmonious with and appropriate in appearance with the existing neighborhood,
especially if setbacks arc modified in alignment with other existing structures
along the block The proposed office/commercial use in harmony with the
intended uses in Old Town. Staff is pleased that the applicant has placed the
parking in the rear of the building.
F. Will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighboring uses;
Staff finds that the requested rezone should not be disturbing to existing or future
neighboring uses. Through the comp plan process, the City determined that
compact, infilJ development is appropriate for the area. Any future change of use
on the property that may have a significant impact on the surrounding properties
will require conditional use approval under current ordinances, and adjoining
property owners will have an opportunity to comment.
Staff anticipates that the proposed officelretail building use will not be hazardous
or disturbing to the neighboring uses. The Commission and Council should
consider all public testimony, oral and written, before making this finding.
G. Will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services such as
highways, street, police, and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse
disposal, water, sewer or that the person responsible for the establishment of
proposed conditional use shall be able to provide adequately any such
service;
Staff finds that the proposed uses can be adequately served by all essential public
services and facilities. Drainage will need to be retained on site. Please show the
proposed drainage facilities on the plans to be revised and resubmitted.
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;
Staff finds that the requested uses will not create excessive additional
requirements at public costs for public facilities and services. Additionally, staff
finds that the proposed rezone would not be detrimental to the economic welfare
of the community.
I. Will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment, and
conditions that will be detrimental to any persons, property, or general
welfare by reason of excessive pl'oduction of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes,
glare or odors;
Staff finds that the proposed 0- T zoning designation of the property does not
inherently allow uses that will generate activities, processes, materials,
equipment, and conditions that are detrimental to the general welfare of the
community.
J, Will have vehicular approaches to the property which shall be so designed as
not to create an interference with traffic on surrounding public streets;
Staff finds that the proposed 0- T zoning will not interfere with general traffic
patterns on any public streets. Please refer to the revised ACHD staff report for a
full report on traffic issues.
K. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic
feature of major importance.
Staff finds that the existing trees on the site are considered dead or dying and may
be removed without mitigation. No other natural or scenic features will be lost or
damaged by the project.
L. Is the proposed zoning amendment in the best interest of the City;
Staff finds that the proposed rezone would be in the best interest of the City by
allowing a property owner to make improvements to the property for re-
development that would otherwise not be allowed without the rezone.
EXHmIT E
The City Council hereby approves the following analysis of required findings by staff
STANDARDS FOR CONDITIONAL USES
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;
The proposed building is 2,674 s.f totaL Ordinance requires 1 per 400 s.f for
professional office and 1 off-street parking space per 200 s.ffor retail uses. Thus,
for an office use, the project would require 7 spaces. 7 spaces are provided per
the site plan. For a retail use, however, the project would require 13 spaces. Staff
finds that the subject property, as depicted, is large enough to accommodate the
required parking, open spaces and landscaping required by the ordinance for an
office use, as long the buffers between land uses are approved under alternative
compliance. The site does not have enough space to accommodate parking for a
retail use. Therefore staff recommends approval of the project for office or other
commercial use provided that parking requirements are met. See condition #2
below.
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 current Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates the property as Old
Town. Staff finds that if the modifications required in this report are done, the
application will meet the requirements of the Planned Development and other
Zoning Ordinances. See items A and C under the Zoning Amendment Analysis.
C. That the design, construction, operation, and maintenance will be compatible
with other uses in the general neighborhood and with the existing or
intended character of the general vicinity and that such use will not adversely
change the essential character of the same area;
Staff finds the design concept to be compatible with the intended character of the
area. See item E under the Zoning Amendment Analysis.
D. That the proposed use, if it complies with all conditions of the approval
imposed, will not adversely affect other property in the vicinity;
Staff does not anticipate that the proposed development will have an adverse
impact on the surrounding property. However, the Commission and Council
should consider any testimony given at the public hearings before making this
finding.
E. That the proposed use will be served adequately by essential public facilities
and services such as highways, street, police, and fire protection, drainage
structures, refuse disposal, water, sewer or that the person responsible for
the establishment of proposed conditional use shall be able to provide
adequately any such services;
See comments under the Zoning Amendment Analysis item G.
F. That the proposed use will not create excessive additional requirements at
public cost for public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the
economic welfare of the community;
See comments under the Zoning Amendment Analysis item H
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;
See comments under the Zoning Amendment Analysis item I.
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;
See comments under the Zoning Amendment Analysis item J.
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.

EXHffiIT D
The City Council hereby approves the following analysis of required findings by staff
STANDARDS FOR CONDITIONAL USES
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;
Staff finds that the subject property is large enough to accommodate the requested
use and all other required features as noted above. The building requires 18
parking spaces, as detailed by the applicant on the site plan; 20 spaces are
provided.
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 current Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates the property as
"Office." Staff finds that the proposed retail pharmacy and office uses are
harmonious with and in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. If the project
is approved as a CUP, it will meet the minimum requirements of the MCc.
C. That the design, construction, operation, and maintenance will be compatible
with other uses in the general neighborhood and with the existing or
intended character of the general vicinity and that such use will not adversely
change the essential character of the same area;
Staff finds that the proposed Medicap Pharmacy will not adversely change the
existing or intended (office) character of the general vicinity. The proposed
project boundary is surrounded on all sides by existing residential subdivisions,
which may wish to comment on the drive-through use. The applicant should
address any measures taken to minimize noise impacts on adjacent neighbors at
the hearing. The project is in substantial compliance with the draft site plan
submitted with the preliminary plat.
D. That the proposed use, if it complies with all conditions of the approval
imposed, will not adversely affect other property in the vicinity;
Staff does not antIcIpate that the proposed pharmacy will adversely affect
adjacent properties. However, the drive through may create noise impacts for
adjacent lots. The applicant should address any measures taken to minimize noise
impacts on adjacent neighbors at the hearing, such as hours of operation of the
drive-through, low volume speakers or handsets, etc. The Commission and
Council should consider any testimony (written and oral) presented at the public
hearings before making this finding.
E. That the proposed use will be served adequately by essential public facilities
and services such as highways, street, police, and fire protection, drainage
structures, refuse disposal, water, sewer or that the person responsible for
the establishment of proposed conditional use shall be able to provide
adequately any such services;
Staff finds that the proposed development can be adequately served by the
essential public facilities and services listed above. City water and sewer mains
will be constructed within the Lynwood Plaza project. Drainage will be retained
on site. Trash enclosures have been provided on-site for refuse disposal; however
the applicant should verify that it can be located over the Nampa & Meridian
Irrigation District easement, as currently depicted. The applicant needs to
coordinate with the Fire Department regarding the fire lanes.
F. That the proposed use will not create excessive additional requirements at
public cost for public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the
economic welfare of the community;
Staff finds that the proposed pharmacy usage will not be detrimental to the
economic welfare of the community, nor would it create the need for any new
facilities or services to be paid for by the public. Staff is unsure as to the
suitability of the other potential tenant, as this tenant is not disclosed on the
application. However, if the tenant is a permitted use in the L-Q zone, it should
not be detrimental. All required improvements, including landscaping, paving,
parking, installation of services and roads, etc. will be paid for by the developer.
The primary public costs to serve the project will be for fire and police services.
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;
Staff finds that no excessive traffic, smoke, fumes, glare or odors should result
from the proposed medical office use. Refer to ACHD's report for additional
information on the traffic production.
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;
Staff finds that the proposed use will not create significant interference with any
traffic on the surrounding public streets. Please refer to ACHD comments for
additional detail on this finding, as noted above.
I. That the proposed use will not result in the destl'Uction, loss or damage of a
natural, scenic or historic feature considered to be of major importance.
Staff finds that no natural or scenic feature will be lost, damaged or destroyed by
issuance ofthis conditional use.

EXHIBIT C
The City Council hereby approves the following analysis of required findings by staff,
with strikethrough modifications, as noted.
ANNEXATION & ZONING ANALYSIS
According to Ordinance 11-15-11, General Standards Applicable to Zoning
Amendments, both the P&Z 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. "
Thefollowing is the list of standards found in 11-15-11 and analysis by staff:
A. Will the new zoning he harmonious with and in accordance with the
Comprehensive Plan and, if not, has there been an application for a
Comprehensive Plan amendment;
The 2002 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designates the east half of
the subject property as "Old Town" and the west half of the property as "Medium
Density Residential". In Chapter VII of the Comprehensive Plan, Old Town uses
will include offices, retail and lodging, theatres, restaurants, and service retail for
surrounding residents and visitors. Staff finds that the requested 0- T zoning
generally conforms to this stated purpose and intent of the Old Town designation.
Please see Special Considerations for Rezone below for further analysis of the
proposed zoning designation and the existing Comprehensive Plan Future Land
. Use Map designation of this property.
Staff finds the following Goals, Objectives, and Action items contained in the
2002 Comprehensive Plan to be applicable to this application (staff analysis is in
italics below policy):
· "Restrict curb cuts and access points on collectors and arterial streets."
(Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective D, Action item 2)
On the submitted conceptual plan, the applicant is proposing direct access to
Cherry Lane. This site has frontage on not only Cherry Lane, but also West rt
Street and West 2nd Street. Therefore, staff recommends that direct access to
Cherry Lane be restricted. See Special Considerations for Rezone below for
further analysis.
· "Require appropriate landscape and buffers along transportation conidors
(setback, vegetation, low walls, berms, etc.)." (Chapter VII, Goal IV,
Objective D, Action item 4)
An appropriate landscape buffer along Cheny Lane will be required by the
City when an applicationfor a CUP/CZC is submitted.
· "Locate new community commercial areas on arterials or collectors near
residential areas in such a way as to complement with adjoining residential
areas." (Chapter VII, Goal I, Objective B, Action item 5)
The subject property has Fontage on Cherry Lane, an arterial roadway. Staff
believes that the conversion of this property fi"om residential to office will
compliment the existing residential uses/structures in the area if designed
properly.
· "Require all commercial businesses to install and maintain landscaping."
(Chapter V, Goal III, Objective D, Action item 5)
The applicant is not specifically proposing to install any landscaping with the
subject annexation application. Staff is including a condition requiring the
applicant to submit for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) which, when
processed, will require the applicant to construct landscaping along Cheny
Lane and the perimeter of the site.
Staff finds that the new zoning to O-T should be harmonious with and in
accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. Please see Special
Considerations for Rezone below for further analysis.
B. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be rezoned in the
future;
Staff does not anticipate that the applicant intends to rezone the subject property
in the future.
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 commercial area by means of conditional use
permits;
In the applicant's submittal letter, it is stated that the subject property is intended
to be used for dental office purposes. Currently, the only (principally) permitted
uses in the O-T zone are single-family homes, libraries, churches, and museums.
All other uses in the 0- T zone, that are not prohibited, require separate
Conditional Use Permit approvaL
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;
The general vicinity of this project is changing rapidly. In this area there are
several other parcels that have/are/will be converting from residential to office
and commercial uses. On the north side of Cherry Lane, between Meridian Road
and Linder Road, and along Main Street, there are many sites that have converted
to office and commercial uses. Due to increasing traffic volumes on Cherry Lane,
staff believes that the use of this property for residential purposes is not the best
use of the land. Although Cherry Lane has not been widened recently, it is
currently a 5-lane roadway (center turn lane), with curb, gutter and sidewalk in
this area. Staff finds that rezoning this site to 0- T is consistent with other land
uses and facility changes in the area.
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;
The applicant is not proposing a specific use or building design with this
application. Staff finds that the anticipated office/clinic use if designed,
constructed and operated in accordance with adopted city ordinances, through a
future CUP/CZC application(s), should be harmonious and appropriate in
appearance with the existing and intended character of the vicinity.
F. Will the proposed uses not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future
neighboring uses;
Staff finds that the use of this site for professional office/clinic purposes should
not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighboring uses if all
development and landscaping ordinances are exercised. The Commission and
Council should rely on public testimony to determine whether the proposed O-T
zoning will be disturbing or hazardous to the neighboring residential, quasi-
public, and/or commercial uses.
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;
All essential public facilities and City services listed above currently serve this
site, however, upgrading may be necessary to provide a level of service different
from a residential use. Staff finds that the current configuration of Cherry Lane,
and the anticipated widening of Meridian Road in this area should be adequate to
serve this site into the future.
On July 23, 2004, a joint agency/department comments meeting was held with
representatives of key service providers to this property. The Meridian Fire
Department has concerns with serviceability of this site as an office/clinic, as the
fire hydrants near this site may not be located in accordance with the International
Fire Code (all of the detailed conditions from the Fire Department and other
agencies/departments are at the end ofthis report).
The Commission and Council should reference any written or verbal testimony
submitted by the Meridian Police Department, and any other agency providing
service to this site, regarding their ability to adequately service this project.
Staff finds that the property proposed for rezone can be served adequately by all
essential public facilities and services.
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;
Staff finds that changing the zoning of this site will not cause excessive additional
requirements at public cost. Other required site improvements will be funded and
constructed by the developer through the CUP/CZC process. Staff also finds that
the rezoning of this site to 0- T 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;
The applicant is not proposing a specific use for this property at this time. It is
anticipated that a professional office(s) or dental/medical c1inic(s) may be
constructed on this site in the future. Staff finds that an office/clinic type use will
create additional traffic on adjacent arterial roads. Further, the parking and
maneuvering of cars on the site may generate additional noise for surrounding
properties. However, staff does not believe that the additional noise should be
excessive. Staff does not anticipate an office/clinic use will create excessive
smoke, fumes, glare, or odors that will be detrimental to any person, property or
the general welfare of the area. To ensure this finding, all future uses on this site
will be required to go through the Conditional Use Permit and/or Certificate of
Zoning Compliance process and will be subject to compliance with City Code.
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;
Future vehicular access points to Cherry Lane, West 1 st Street, and West 2nd Street
should comply with ACHD policies. In order to prcSCfVC thc capacity and
movement on Cherry Lafic, staff recommends that vehicular approaches to Chcny
Lanc be pmhibited and access to this sitc be pm.tided from Vo,r C3t 1 st Street and
Wcst 2M Strect. If a vehicular approach is approved to the site that is designed and
constructed in accordance with ACHD policies, staff finds that the approach(es)
will not create an interference with traffic on the surrounding public street(s).
Please see Special Considerations below and review any comments from ACHD
for additional information regarding this finding.
K. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic
feature of major importance; and
Staff is not aware of any natural or scenic feature(s) that would be lost, damaged
or destroyed by allowing this site to be rezoned and developed with office/clinic
uses. 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)"
For the reasons listed in the .findings above, staff finds that the rezoninf! of this
lJrOlJertv would be in the best interest of the Citv.

9-4-24: WASTEWATER USER FEES AND ASSESSMENT FEES:
The monthly sewer user rates for sanitary sewer service in the City are based on gallons
of water used as determined by the water meter readings. Residential homeowner's
sanitary sewer user charges will be based on the actual water recorded for monthly water
meter readings during the period of the year from approximately November 15 to the
following March IS. For the following eight (8) month period, the average monthly
reading for the period of November 15 to the following March IS, termed the "winter
average", shall be the basis for the monthly sewer user charge. However, if the actual
water use recorded for any billing period between March 15 and November 15 is less
than the preceding "winter average", the sewer user charge will be based on the actual
water use. Also, provided, however, where there is a new owner, a new occupancy, or a
change in occupancy, such as in the case of sale or new residence construction or sales of
existing residences, between November 15 and March 15, the sewer user charge shall be
based on the average winter residential water use in the City which is six thousand five
hundred (6,500) gallons per month unless the current water meter readings is less than six
thousand five hundred (6,500) gallons. In this case, the sewer user charge will be based
on actual metered water use. All other users such as commercial and industrial shall be
based on their monthly water consumption. The user charges may be reviewed annually.
The user charge system is based on the following: (Ord. 477,4-21-1987; amd. 1999

E. Pass Through Charge To User: The United States Environmental Protection Agency
has required the State of Idaho to test drinking water and the State of Idaho through
the Department of Environmental Quality, has passed the cost of such testing down to
local governmental and private water suppliers. The City must pass the cost of such
testing to the water users. Therefore, each water user shall be charged a monthly
water assessment of twenty five cents ($0.25) until the Department of Environmental
Quality amends or retracts this testing charge. (Ord. 743,9-17-1996)
9-1-20: PAYMENT OF USER CHARGES; LATE FEE:
All water charges shall be due and payable to the Municipal Billing Deparbnent fifteen
(15) days after the date ofthe billing statement. Upon failure to pay the same, within the
time allowed, the water user shall pay, in addition to the amount due, a late payment
penalty as set by resolution of the City Council. (Ord. 03-1044, 9-23-2003)
9-1-21: DELINQUENCIES; CITY PROCEDURE:
A. Termination Of Service; Notice: Each month the Municipal Utility Billing
Department shall furnish each water user a statement of the amount due for water and
Water Use and Service Revision Ordinance
Page 20 of29
sewer and other charges for the preceding month or up to the time that the meter has
been read; and if any water user does not pay the billing within fifteen (15) days from
the date of the statement, the water user's account shall be delinquent. Water users
shall be notified by regular mail of this delinquency and if the bill is not paid in full
within ten (10) days after service of this notification on the water user, the right to
water shall cease and terminate unless the owner requests a pretermination hearing.
Should the water user not request a pretermination hearing, or if an adverse decision
is rendered against the owner after a pretermination hearing, the City may require the
owner to pay the delinquent water bill attributable to the use, plus a turn on charge as
a condition of resumption of water service, and in the event the water meter has been
removed, a fee must be paid as a condition of resumption of water service. No
allowance will be made for nonuse for less than one month. All corrections as to the
charge and all abatements shall be made under the direction of the Mayor and City
Council and shall be certified by the Finance Director.
B. Right To Hearing:
1. The City, in its delinquency notice to all water users and owners, shall inform them
in writing of their right to a pretennination hearing, with such hearing to be held with
the due process protection described below. If a pretermination hearing is requested
by any water user, the City will not discontinue water service to any water user prior
to a fair and impartial hearing, after timely and adequate notice and an opportunity to
confront witnesses, to personally appear with retained counsel to be judged on facts
adduced at the hearing and to otherwise be heard and defend the claim made by the
City. The City Council shall have the responsibility of holding pretermination
hearings. The City Council shall make a record of all pretermination hearings. The
City Council shall render its decision in writing, giving the reasons for its
determination. In decisions adverse to the water user, the City Council will inform the
water user of the right to appeal the decision pursuant to the Idaho State
Administrative Procedures Act 1 (IC 9 67-5201 et seq).
2. Provided, however, the City shall not initially deny or discontinue water service to
any water user because of any delinquent water bill on that premises that is
attributable to the prior owner. However, any and all unpaid water charges shall be a
lien against the property as provided below. The City may initially deny water service
to any water user who requests service at a new location when that water user has a
delinquency at any previous location or premises. Provided, further, that the City
shall not initially deny water service to any water user for whatever reason without
informing the water user of the right to a hearing before the City Council on the issue
of whether the City can initially deny water services. In the case of an initial denial of
water service, the City is not required to provide water service pending a hearing.
However, a hearing upon request of a water user initially denied water service shall
be held as expeditiously as possible and held in the manner and accordance with the
procedures for pretermination hearings delineated above.
Water Use and Service Revision Ordinance
Page 21 of29

From:
Subject:
Miscellaneous Application for Joe Pachner, Toothman-Orton Engineering
Co. (owner Helen Rowley)
Request for a Reduction in Platting Requirements to Divide a 3.44 Acre Parcel
into Two Parcels (MI-04-002).
Staff has reviewed the above referenced submittal and offers the following comments.
APPLICATION SUMMARY & LOCATION
The applicant, Joe Pachner, Toothman-Orton Engineering Co., has submitted a Miscellaneous
Application (MI) requesting a reduction in platting requirements to divide a 3.44 acre parcel
into two parcels. The subject parcel is split zoned I-L (Light Industrial) and C-G (General
Retail and Service Commercial) and is not part of a recorded subdivision. The C-G portion of
the parcel is adjacent to W. Franklin Road.
The subject property is located at 850 W. Franklin Road, on the north side of Franklin,
midway between Meridian and Linder Road.
The owner of the property is Helen Rowley and she has provided notarized consent for the
division of her property.
A site plan has been submitted showing how the 3.44 acre parcel will be divided. The back
portion of the parcel is located in an I-L (Light Industrial) zone, which has no minimum lot
area or street frontage requirements. Future development must comply with MCC 11-9-1
regarding building setbacks, lot coverage, and height restrictions.
Exhibit "A"
Mayor & City Council
Hearing Date: October 5,2004
Page 2 of3
In June, 2004, the Planning & Zoning Department established a new policy and procedure
regarding re-subdivisions. This decision was based on MCC 12-3-1.B. which states the
following:
Re-Subdivision: Notwithstanding the definition of "subdivisionl1 contained in Section
11-2-2 of this Code, where an applicant desires to subdivide an existing lot which is
located in an existing subdivision which has been previously recorded and the required
improvements made thereon, he may do so without going through the entire platting
procedure required by this Title. He shall, however, submit an application for re-
subdivision showing the existing lot and how the lot is proposed to be re-subdivided.
The City shall then determine what requirements of this Title shall be complied with
by the applicant. The City may require full compliance if deemed necessary. The
provisions of this subsection pertaining to the reduction in platting requirements of
certain parcels may apply to previously unplatted and unsubdivided ground upon
application to the City Council. (Ord. 456, 9-3-1985)
The Planning Director, City Engineer, and City Attorney determined that this ordinance
allows property owners to request a re-subdivision of property if the proposed division meets
the following criteria:
1. If the property is within a recorded subdivision, a Lot Line Adjustment
application must be submitted and may be approved at staff level.
2. If the property is unplatted, a Miscellaneous application must be submitted and
heard by the City Council. If the Miscellaneous application is approved by City
Council, a Lot Line Adjustment application must be submitted.
3. For either platted or unplatted land, the applicant must provide drawings that
show a) the existing parcel and the proposed split, b) any and all existing and
proposed improvements within or adjoining the property, c) proposed sewer
connection and profiles, and d) any other information deemed as appropriate or
necessary by the City Engineer and/or Planning Director.
4, Both parcels that result from the split must meet the minimum yard
requirements of the applicable zone per MCC 11-9-1.
5. Applications for re-subdivisions of property will only be considered for
property zoned as commercial and/or industrial. Residentially zoned land is not
eligible. Properties would be limited to a one-time split under these provisions.
6. Platting requirements for condominium plats may also be considered under
these provisions where the condominium plat only affects ownership and does
not result in additional development of the property.
STAFF ANALYSIS
MI-04-009
Exhibit "A"
Pachner MI.doc
Mayor & City Council
Hearing Date: October 5, 2004
Page 3 of3
The applicant meets the above stated requirements for re-subdivision. Sewer and water services
will need to be extended from W. Franklin Road to the rear parcel prior to development of that
parcel. A Lot Line Adjustment application will be required to be submitted for this property
after approval of this application.
This is the second request that staffhas brought before the City Council regarding a "lot split"
for unplatted property. The previous applicant committed to include both properties in a
subdivision application prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. This applicant has not
made that commitment. Should Council wish to add that as a condition of approval, the
following language should be added as Condition #5:
"The applicant shall make the subject split parcel a lot in afuture subdivision.
Such subdivision application shall be submitted to the Planning and Zoning
Department and acceptedfor processing prior to issuance of a Certificate of
Occupancy, "
Staff was not able to discuss this condition of approval with the applicant prior to filing the staff
report with the Clerk's Office.
CONDITIONS OF APPRO V AL
1. Applicant must comply with all subdivision improvements as required by MCC 12-5-2.
2. Applicant shall comply with all improvements as required by Ada County Highway
District.
3. Applicant shall submit a recorded copy of the Record of Survey signed by the City
Engineer prior to Certificate of Zoning Compliance issuance.
4. A cross-access agreement between the two proposed parcels is required to be submitted
with the Lot Line Adjustment application since the back parcel does not have street
frontage.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of this application with the above noted conditions,

It's good to have you and Bill we are sorry that you have been ostracized from
the rectangle table.
Nary: I can see from back here.
Franden: It was your choice, right? But, anyway, congratulations to Bill on his
appointment as City Attorney.
De Weerd: And congratulations from us.
Franden: Maybe what we should do is just quickly we will go around and
introduce ourselves. Well, I guess not. I kind of thought that it was a little bit like
Church, where you had the Meridian people on one side and ACHD on the other,
but I think we are mixed. Anyway, we will start with Dave Wynkoop.

De Weerd: Tammy De Weerd.
Franden: And John Franden. The first item that we have on our agenda is
update on current and future projects in the Meridian area. Mr. Hansen?
Item 1.
Update on Current & Future Projects in Meridian - ACHD
(Hansen):
Hansen: Thank you Mr. President, Madame Mayor, Commissioners and Council
members. My name is Dorrell Hansen I am the assistant manager of
engineering here at the Highway District. I am going to update you on some of
the projects that we have got going in Meridian this year. These next two slides
are just a list of the ones that we are going to be going through. As you can see,
it's a pretty large list. We will start off with the Overland Road project. Eagle to
Touchmark Way - this is a view aerial that was taken last Thursday. That's
Eagle Road and you are facing to the east. This is the portion that is under
construction right now, This project was originally scheduled to go from Eagle to
Cloverdale and it was originally scheduled to be built in 2006, however, the
construction of this first half mile was moved up to accommodate the Silverstone
Development and that did require and I will go over it a little bit later - that did
require that we delay the Franklin Road from Eagle to Touchmark. At this point
and time, the roadway is being constructed five lanes with curb, gutter, sidewalk
and bike lanes and it's being constructed by the developer. It's not an ACHD
project, it's a developer project in the developer project and the developer will be
reimbursed by impact fees for the project. The project is paid out at this point
and time. We have traffic back on it. The traffic is running the middle three
lanes. The two outside lanes are still closed down because they are finishing up
sidewalks, pet ramps and landscaping. We hope to have the road totally open
for traffic by October 15th. The next project is the Franklin Road project from
Main to Nola. This is again at Eagle Road, only we are facing to the west. This
was actually two different projects. The project from Main to Nola was a project
and then the second project was from Nola to Eagle Road here. Main to Nola is
close to completion, They got about 600 feet of curb, gutter and sidewalk on the
north side to complete. You can kind of see that uncompleted phase right there
and from Nola to Eagle the traffic is being routed onto the two brand new lanes
that are on the south side of the road, while the water and storm drain goes onto
the north side. Hope to start curbing the sidewalk on the north side this week.
The new (inaudible) poles at Eagle Road are up and operational and on October
8th at 6:00 p.m. we are going to go in and close this intersection to the west
down. That's a Friday evening. We plan on having the intersection closed down
from Friday evening at 6:00 to 5:00 Monday morning on the 11th because this is
to accommodate the first 300 feet of construction there. It's a very tight area to
be constructing in and we decided it would really impact traffic the least if we
went ahead and just closed it down for a weekend and let the contractor get in
t.
,.

there and get it done. After this roadwork is completed for the season, you will
see that there is one left turn lane and one three lane on Westbound - excuse
me Eastbound on Franklin that is going to be blocked at the Eagle intersection
and that's because we don't have the improvements on the East side completed
and so there is no place for them to go, so even though the project will be done
for the year, you are still going to see barrels up out there and I think we decided
to use barrels rather than paint because we can take the barrels down next
spring or next summer when we get the rest of the project completed. We hope
to have this project completed by November 4h.
(Speaker?): Dorrell, that corner there on the - I was noticing the other day on
the southwest corner - is that going to be a 90 degree corner when it's finished
or is it going to be a sweeping right hand turn?
Hansen: The free right hand turn lane is being taken out as far as this project.
(Speaker?): It is being taken out?
Hansen: Yes it is. This is the remainder of the project that was originally
scheduled to be completed this year, but as I said before it was delayed to
accommodate the Overland Road project. We expect to start construction on
this after school is out in June of 2005 and hope to have it done before school
opens back up. The reason for that is that we are going to allow the contractor to
close this section of the road down and the detour route will be up there on Pine
and so we want the detour route not to be during school time when there is
children coming and going from that school up there on Pine. Next we have
Eagle Road from - excuse me Victory Road to the Ridenbaugh Canal. Eagle
Road from Overland Road to the Ridenbaugh Canal was constructed last year by
the developers of Silverstone and EI Dorado. This project will construct the
remaining section between the canal and Victory Road. This project will widen
the road five lanes with curb, gutter and sidewalk and bike lanes and that
includes a rebuild to the Ridenbaugh Canal bridge. We are also going to build
the Eagle Road and Victory Road intersection with this project and that will be a
five by five intersection. For this fiscal year '05 we plan on going out and
purchasing right of way for these two projects and they are currently scheduled to
be built in fiscal year '06. Next project is Franklin Road from Ten Mile to Linder,
This project is not currently in our five year work program, however, we budgeted
money in fiscal year '05 to prepare a concept report to see if we can't get the
project into the federal aid program and if we can get into the federal aid program
and federal aid becomes available, (inaudible) advanced acquisition of right of
way and potentially even construct it. Under the current schedule if we can't do
any advance right of way or construction, the design was set for fiscal year '06
and '07, the right of way acquisitions for fiscal year '08 and '09 in construction is
currently in PD. The next project is Franklin Road from Touchmark to Five Mile,
This is a federal aid project and it's going to expand the road to five lanes, with
curb, gutter and sidewalks and a safety shoulder. They will also include
(
Meridian City Council! ACflu Commission Special Joint Workshop Meeting
October 4, 2004
Page 4 of 27
intersection work at the Cloverdale and Five Mile intersections. In the fiscal year
'05 we anticipate completing the design work and we have right of way
acquisitions scheduled for '07 and '08 and construction in '09. Locus Grove,
Bentley to Franklin - this is the next phase in Locust Grove Overpass projects
and this project is scheduled to be constructed in '05 and it will widen the
roadway to five lanes. The next phase to that project will be the Locust Grove
Overpass. This is a federal aid project and it's with contributions from the City of
Meridian and lTD. The bridge will be built to four lanes and it will connect into
five lane roads on both sides and by the time we get to this project next year the
roadways on both sides will be done. The acquisition is expected to be
completed this year in FY '05 and we anticipated and as construction to this
project in FY '06. Next project is Locust Grove, Franklin to Fairview. Actually
this is from Lanark to Fairview. We have made the improvements from Franklin
to Lanark as part of the Franklin Road project this year and so this project will
hook onto those and construct a new roadway from Lanark north to Pine and
rebuild the existing roadway from Pine to Fairview. There will be a five-lane
road, curb, gutters and sidewalks and it will include some improvements on Pine
and a signal at Pine and a brand new railroad crossing. Now the new railroad
crossing on Locust Grove is going to require that we close down the railroad
crossing on Nola and that slide is not correct, that's not Locust Grove on the
bottom that is actually Nola and we will have to close down that railroad crossing
when we build this new one and that is going to require us cul-de-sac -ing the
road on both sides of that. Overland Road, Topaz to Cloverdale. This will widen
the roadway to five lanes with curb, gutter and sidewalk. The improvements to
the Cloverdale on Overland Road intersection will actually be completed this year
as part of our Cloverdale Road project and so this project will improve the
roadway from those intersection improvements to the improvements that the
developer is putting in this year up to Topaz. Right of way acquisition is
scheduled for this year and construction in '06. This project will be constructed
along with our project from - which is a widening project from over on Overland
from Cloverdale and Five Mile there is an existing three lanes out there. We are
going to go ahead and widen that out to five lanes at the same time as we build
this project. When these two projects are complete, we will have Overland Road
improved from Meridian Road to the west. Meridian Road to the east we have
the Overland Road project from Meridian to Linder. This project will widen the
roadway to five lanes with curb, gutter and sidewalk and bike lanes. They will
include a 5 x 3 intersection at Stoddard and the design for this will be completed
this year by in house staff and that is why this project does not appear in our
capital budget this year because the design is being done in house. Right of way
acquisition will be scheduled for FY '06 and construction in FY '07. Ten Mile
from Franklin Road to Cherry Lane - this is going to widen the roadway to five
lanes with curb, gutter and sidewalk and includes intersection improvements to a
5 x 5 at Franklin and a 4 x 5 at Pine. This project is also being designed by in
house staff. Right of way acquisition is going to be in FY '05 and '06 and
construction in FY '07.

EastJake: Madame Mayor. One of the things that concerns me about us going
ahead and designing a road like this is that we are designing it assuming it's
going to be a road and yet, Ten Mile, obviously is one of the potential locations
for ITO to actually have the connection all the way down and once we design this
and by right of way and don't buy access - you know if ITO was buying it
because they were going to do a limited access roadway and might buy access
rights, but we don't buy access rights from property owners, so I think that we
need to be real clear that once ACHD designs this road and builds this road
under our regular five lane road standard it would be hard for it to be statewide.
De Weerd: Mr. Chairman.
Franden: Madame Mayor.
De Weerd: It's the City's intentions through our north Meridian plan and through
our comp plan that Ten Mile would not be that connection. It would be Black Cat
or another road that we would work with ITO that would designate, but it would
be helpful to get ITD, ACHD and the City together to really start solidifying that
vision so that these kinds of things can work and compliment each other.
East/ake: So, some place south of Franklin a road is going to connect to a Ten
Mile intersection? Is that what your comp plan envisions?
De Weerd: I believe that shows something maybe north of Franklin coming into
Ten Mile. Anna do you know?
Canning: -- (inaudible) a dotted line or anything like that, but I think that the
discussion we had and in the community (inaudible ------------) somewhere
out after that railroad crossing (inaudible--------------------).
Eastlake: Mr. President, do we know whether we are taking that into account of
all (inaudible----)?
Franden: Dorrell will have to answer that one. There seems to me there is an
awful lot of decisions that haven't been made. What we are talking about is
Highway 16 coming across, right? And joining up some place at Ten Mile for the
Ten Mile overpass and interchange.
Rountree: Well it doesn't necessarily have to be Ten Mile. It could be another
access point.
Franden: It could be Black Cat?
Rountree: It could be Black Cat. It could be McDermott, It could be Star Road
or Robinson Road. That's just a matter of going through the exercises of getting
access onto the Interstate, so-

East/ake: Mr. President. So, continuing this, if we are just moving forward
assuming Ten Mile is going to be a regular ACHD road that has a connection at
in (inaudible) at the Interstate at Ten Mile. What I hear you say is that that had in
no way changes the possibility that Highway 16 might come across and have an
access onto the Interstate someplace else.
Rountree: It's possible, but there are other alternatives. Ten Mile is not a
particularly easy alternative at this point given the fact that you have Spur Wing
at one end and that development and all of the development that is essentially
north of Pine.
East/ake: And there really could be two intersections just a mile apart because
Meridian has really enough of an urban area that like Boise that has intersections
at Vista and Broadway and Orchard and it's possible that we could-
Bird: You mean interchanges?
Eastlake: Yes, interchanges just a mile apart. You think?
Rountree: The past policy is that every two miles-
Eastlake: Well, I know but Boise has (inaudible--) -
Rountree: - there seems to be some softening about every mile at this point.
What are the alternative that looks the best in terms of (inaudible-------)
jurisdictions between cities and counties that are connections across the river
and those sorts of things?
Franden: Mr. Bivens.
Bivens: Mr. Chairman, it appears to me that this schedule is pretty much in line
with what is occurring and ITD has the study going on where that the location of
that interchange is going to (inaudible) and to me this mayor may not be Ten
Mile as it stands today, it may be there or somewhere else. So, to me the
planning schedule is about right on course and that (inaudible) study - Charlie,
when is that going to be back?
Rountree: I don't have a date on the top of my head here. I am thinking that
probably it's eight months out.
Bivens: Okay, I guess I had the month of April floating around. April or May-
Rountree: That could be. I could check, but I don't recall at this point.
(
Meridian City Council! AcRu Commission Special Joint Workshop Meeting

Bivens: Anyway, I think that when we get that - this planning that is going on, I
think it would be probably right in line with what we are doing.
Franden: Mr. Wynkoop.
Wynkoop: The point is still well taken, but we don't want to waste money on
either a design or acquisition of right of way that ends up at cross purposes with
the findings of the !TD studies. So, I guess back to Dorrell just in terms of
coordinating the timing on those two, when did you say that we are working on
design and is that consistent with the timing of the conclusions from the ITD
study?
Hansen: Mr. President and Commissioner Eastlake. To begin with this is being
designed as a five lane arterial local roadway. We are not taking into
consideration anything with regard to lTD.
(Speaker unknown): Are you designing it now?
Hansen: We are designing it now. And it will - we are planning right of way
acquisition in '05 and '06 and then construction in '07.
De Weerd: I think you are designing it correctly. In our comprehensive plan, we
had no intention for that to be a state highway. Look at the land usage and it isn't
and certainly I would encourage our staff's to all get together and start looking at
it. We will be addressing it, I am sure, in the long-range plan, but I guess in the
north Meridian pl8;n and in our camp plan we envisioned it would not be Ten Mile.
Ten Mile would be an interchange site and that any connection from Highway 16
could also if it did have it's own direct access who would (inaudible) and those
wanting to go to the East Wood go to Ten Mile and those going to the left, would
go to McDermott. Those were the two points that were identified in the 1-84
Corridor Study. That's kind of the assumptions that we were working off of.
Franden: Keith?
Bird: I basically would say the same thing. We have never seen a scenario
where that section at Ten Mile would ever be part of a state highway and I hope
you guys will continue on doing what you are doing and keep on schedule with it
because I don't - I think it would be - all the scenarios have been south of
Franklin Road where they have tied in from Black Cat.
Rountree: That's the tough piece, south of Franklin. I think this design concept
is consistent.
Hansen: If I may back up one slide I forgot to mention on this Overland Road,
Meridian to Linder project, we will also improve the intersection of Meridian and
Overland Road at the same time we build this project in '07 and that is going to
Meridian City Council! ACHU Commission Special Joint Workshop Meeting
October 4, 2004
Page 8 of 27
be improved to a 7 x 7 intersection. The next project is Black Cat Road from
Franklin to Cherry Lane. This is going to be a cooperative project and it is going
to be constructed by the City of Meridian with their sewer improvements on Black
Cat Road and ACHD will participate in the project to improve the gravel base
that's in the roadway and also share in the new paving on the roadway. This
project is going to be constructed this fiscal year.
Eastlake: How many lanes?
Hansen: We will put it back to the same number of lanes - two lanes. Next we
have State Highway 69 or Meridian Road and Victory Road and this project is in
just to add a signal to the intersection. Don't anticipate any roadwork on State
Highway 69, maybe a little bit of widening on Victory Road, We plan to design
this and potentially even construct it in this fiscal year. This is State Highway
20/26, Chinden and the Meridian intersection. This is an ITD project. The north
lane of the intersection will be realigned to better match up with the south
(inaudible). They are going to install our right hand turn lane from westbound
Chinden onto northbound Meridian and the project has already been awarded to
Central Paving and there is going to be a start date of October 4th, so that's today
and a completion date of December 17th, The last thing I have is some overlay
projects that we are going to be doing. We have two different overlay projects.
We have got our federal aid overlays and we have got our local overlays. It's
part of our federal overlays in '05. We will be overlaying Ustick Road from Linder
to Meridian and then as part of our local overlays, we will be overlaying Linder
Road from Turtle Creek to Ustick and also as part of our local overlays we will be
doing Fairview to Locust Grove to Eagle Road. That concludes my presentation.
I would be more than happy to answer any questions.
Franden: Any questions for Dorrell? Ms, Eastlake?
Eastlake: Back in the very beginning, you talked about designing something in
hopes of getting different (inaudible) - if we possibly (inaudible----------). And
you talked just a little bit about how much federal aid we have programmed and
how much we might get if the new T21 or whatever they call it, passes?
Hansen: Mr. President, Commissioner Eastlake. I am going to defer to Katie
Levihn.
Levihn: Hello, Katie Levihn for the record. President and Mayor and other
members present here. The project that Dorrell is talking about actually did get
programmed at the end of the year here in federal aid for PD. That's why we are
starting the concept report now and the latest on T21 reauthorization is we just
met with Federal Highways this morning on a different matter, but of course that
is the topic that is of interest to everyone. There has been a continuing
resolution to keep going until November 20th fully funded. II's actually been
extended to continue the program until May 31 S\ but that is going to take an
[
Meridian City Council I ACHO Commission Special Joint Workshop Meeting
October 4, 2004
Page 9 of 27
additional set of continuing resolutions to keep it going. So, at this point we don't
know what is going to happen with T21. Everyone is crossing their fingers that
we will get additional funding and we are trying to position ourselves with that
through this round of putting projects like this one that Dorrell is talking about and
preparing other ones to submit through COMPASS for the adding into the
program. I wish I could be more definitive.
Franden: Thanks, Katey. Any other questions for Dorrell?
De Weerd: Mr. Chairman.
Franden: Mayor.
De Weerd: I guess our staff and myself and commissioners too. Your staff met
(inaudible) future projects and talked about some of the future funds that had
been (inaudible) up to ask about intersection improvements in our north Meridian
area and it just doesn't seem like the north Meridian area can ever get off the
center point and we are really interested to see how we can work together to get
some relief up there in congestions and see how we could playa role in that and
working with the development community. Again, we have this open (inaudible)
finding out there that we would like to utilize and it doesn't seem like we are
getting anywhere. A second one as we looked on updates the safety bussing at
Sawtooth Elementary has been working okay, but there is still after school
activities, there is still a lot of congestion when those kids are walking to and from
those after school activities and a number of parents had contacted my office to
see when that pathway, that temporary pathway that was talked about was going
to go in and I think I understood now that they didn't think it was needed, so it's
now not going to go in and there is concern about that. The parents that have
been driving their kids, anticipating at some point that path will be going in so the
kids could walk. So, I would like an update on those two items,
Franden: Well, the first one would be on the intersections and what we did when
we reallocated dollars and then where we might be in the future. Terry can you
tell us, or maybe whoever, which intersections we added in on the reallocation?
Mike has got it. Okay. Bruce, I know your people did a survey and spent some
time out there taking a look at children who were walking and children that were
also using bicycles and if my memory is correct the number of walking was one
and the number using bicycle was one, so Bruce brought that to us. Mayor we
just felt at this time that there are so many needs out there, not that this isn't a
legitimate need, but there is a number of them out there that are even prior to-
we just felt that the expenditure of dollars, that $30,000 on our part we couldn't
justify it at this point and time. I believe - did we also ask you to go back
through, Bruce, and ask Meridian and the school district to - (inaudible) so we
just decided right at this time it didn't appear to be warranted.
Meridian City Council I ACHD Commission Special Joint Workshop Meeting
October 4, 2004
Page 10 of 27
De Weerd: I guess since we tried to get communication out in front to the
parents, I know there was a lot of concern. This was brought up at several
parent/teacher meetings, PT A meetings between the principal and the parents.
They knew it was a temporary solution and they have been driving their kids.
Now, I guess if the understanding was that was going to go in and maybe they
have been temporarily finding other solutions with the anticipation with that
pathway going in, but the calls I have been getting are more of those that are in
football or after school activities that are walking not during that (inaudible) as
they get out of school at areas for times - I don't know when your survey was,
but they are walking and at that time of day it's more the rush hour peak traffic
that they are dealing with and there continues to be concern. So, I don't know
how to respond to you, but these parents need to know then that plans are
changing because that is their understanding coming into it as was the school
districts.
Franden: Ms. Eastlake.
Eastlake: First of all, I am not familiar with the area, so I don't have the specifics,
but we have had a process of prioritizing - they brought to school projects and
that I don't know for six or seven years at least but the Terry has kept a list and
my concern here is how did this school get the impression that they were
somehow going to get moved up to the front of the list or - I mean, certainly the
school district knew that when they built the school there that there were no
sidewalks, there was nothing, no place for the kids to walk when they chose to
build the school there. We didn't have a road project there or any sign that they
were going to build sidewalks so I don't know how they got the impression that
they were going to move to the front of the list and get some kind of solution
before all these other schools, who have been asking for many, many years to
get improvements to get their kids walking to school.
De Weerd: Do you want me to answer that?
Franden: Sure.
De Weerd: From ACHD. We had a meeting with the schools, with Ada County
Highway District and the City.
Eastlake: We being Meridian? We and the school district?
De Weerd: ACHD.
Eastlake: And who from ACHD?
De Weerd: Who all was there?
r
Meridian City Council I AChtJ Commission Special Joint Workshop Meeting
October 4, 2004
Page 11 of 27
Speaker?: Mr. Wynkoop, myself, Bruce, Commissioner Bivens, I believe. Were
you there that day?
(Inaudible discussion -----)
Speaker?: Who would you like to attend that meeting? So, that's what the
commission came up with.
Speaker?: If I might go ahead -
Eastlake: Yeah, but that's after the school was already built.
Speaker?: This was just two months ago.
De Weerd: In July.
Franden: So, what we had, Tammy kind of started this out by saying we have
got an emergency here and so with the Commission's direction, we - two of the
Commissioners met with Linda Clark and her staff and Tammy and some of her
staff, we looked at that and we asked Bruce to come back with some possible
suggestions and look at that as whether it was an emergency. Bruce came back
with a couple of ideas including that path. Everybody thought that that was a
good idea to try to accommodate the emergency. I think it may have been one of
the meetings you were not at Ms. Eastlake. We did discuss this as a whole
Commission.
Eastlake: Oh, no, I remember discussing it, but at that point had the parents
already been told they were getting a path?
Franden: So, the update, then was we asked Bruce to take a look at what is the
actual usage and Bruce and his staff took a look at that after school started and
concluded that the usage was very minimal. Also, the Meridian School District
provided us with information that they were able to do the safety bussing, which
of course doesn't necessarily help with the after school activities. So, the new
information is that in terms of the overall priority system we have got, there are
situations all over the valley where we have missing sidewalks that need to be
addressed. So, we have a program to do that and put it into that priority system,
The question with respect to Sawtooth Middle School is do we have an
emergency? And I believe the Commission after it received the briefing from our
staff concluded that we do not have an emergency. The second piece of
information was at that joint meeting, we had discussed about some kind of a
cost sharing arrangement and as certainly as to be expected, the Meridian
School District said we've spent our budget on this project so we would not be
able to be a participant in any kind of cost sharing and essentially, Mayor, the
City communicated to us that well that's what ACHD gets paid taxes for, so we
are not sure it is appropriate to the City to do a cost sharing. So, basically, with
I
Meridian City Council! AChLJ Commission Special Joint Workshop Meeting
October 4, 2004
Page 12 of 27
that information and kind of the new information that it did not appear to be as
urgent an emergency as we first thought it might be, At that point, we concluded
as a Commission that we will put it in the regular program, but that this isn't a
crisis that has to be addressed immediately. Or, alternatively, how do you argue
that it's a higher priority crisis than some of the other needs that have been
(inaudible).
De Weerd: I guess just to add to that the City did (inaudible) the funds, the
portion that ACHD came to us on the sidewalk program as a partner to solutions
like this and also I mentioned our funding at that time, but we do want to bring
solutions to the table and we felt we were doing our part, work with funding the
study. It was communicated to the parents once those decisions were made at
parent meetings because parents were very concerned about the safety and the
walking and the topography out there was very low shoulders and you know, it's
a big safety concern. So, this is your PR thing. It's not mine. I have gotten
several phone calls and I did get an email from Bruce and I have passed it on to
those couple parents that it looks like this, but I am not going to have anything to
do with it. I had asked your staff last spring that we come to the table and start
looking at this because, yeah, school is plopped right in the middle of nowhere
and this should be our lesson learned that now anything future we need to take a
look at this and the development community needs to be a part of it. School
District, they stepped up and they felt there funding portion was the safety
bussing and at which is a pretty penny to them as well. So, we do have these
parents driving their kids to school and they thought it was temporary. If I have to
telf them you better start dumping them out on the street, so they can show up in
your counts, I don't know. I don't think that's a solution. I thought we were all
moving forward - I'm sorry, I am a little bit too direct, I think -
Eastlake: I bet there are other Meridian Schools that are already in on this where
kids are walking - they are being safety bussed probably and they are walking if
they are staying for after school programs and stuff like that. I doubt that this is
the only Meridian School that has got that problem,
Bird: Excuse me, Mr. President. It's not only the City of Meridian that has got
this problem. I am like the Mayor, I wouldn't attempt to let my kids walk there
now. I would take them and that's what's happening. But, two wrongs don't
make a right. We made a wrong when we let the facility go in without thinking
ahead to do this, but that don't make it right. It's unsafe and I don't know of any
other schools in the City of Meridian that is even close to this as far as being
unsafe.
Franden: Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: Mr. President, thank you, Commissioner Eastlake. One of the concerns
with this school is that it's on a major collector with the river crossing with large
traffic counts and there are no sidewalks and very narrow shoulders. So,
(
Meridian City Council! ACHu Commission Special Joint Workshop Meeting
October 4, 2004
Page 13 of 27
certainly I understand your concerns about other schools and where they are in
the process, but I think this is a unique situation that we all realize. Just to ask
one thing. I would like to know if we could get a briefing or a copy of that study
and the parameters that were used to measure that pedestrian count. Certainly,
those numbers - if you run them around any school district, I would say that
those seem very low as even an average for any school. It would be interesting
to see that study.
Bivens: I have driven this area and certainly it isn't a safe way for our children to
walk. However, I guess the point that Mayor De Weerd makes is the school
district is currently furnishing bussing to help alleviate what is believed to be an
emergency safety problem. That, no doubt, is costing them quite a bit. I think
one of the fall backs is I think there is a cost - what's the cost, $30,OOO? I think
that was the projected cost to accomplish what Meridian had asked. I guess
there was one alternate thought that if there was a willingness to partner own -
the reason I bring this up - the cost of the school district if they continue to do
that it might be more beneficial and cheaper in the long run if they could be a part
of the process of helping to fund what it appears to be a not as a serious as it
looks. And of course, without the bussing it would be much different. I guess
that's a thought and maybe with the City and the school district participation,
(inaudible-----) we could still get it accomplished (inaudible -------------------),
Franden: Commissioner Eastlake,
Eastlake: Do we have any indication? My recollection was that the $30,000 was
just to go from an intersection up to the school on one side of the road. Do we
have any indication that the safety bussing would stop if there was just that
much? Because the kids are coming - the kids aren't just coming from that
intersection. The kids are coming down every street to get to that intersection. I
mean, I don't think they are going to stop the safety bussing if we just put that
little bit of pavement in there, so it doesn't seem to me like it solves the problem.
Franden: You know, Mayor De Weerd, I don't - my memory may be faltering,
but I don't - It's not clear to me that ACHO said that we will do that project. I
don't know who in the world told the parents that the Highway District would do
that project. I do know that we were exploring getting a split of some kind where
everybody could participate eventually and it concerns me that somebody might
have been out there saying that we were going to do it when 1 don't know that
that commitment had been made.
De Weerd: I don't know when they talked about it at the parent/teacher, but
when I walked away from that meeting, it couldn't be done in September, it would
have to be done after the overlays and that was going to be in October.
Franden: The thing I remember when we walked away from that meeting was
that we were going to support cost sharing and that we were going to see what
( (
Meridian City Council! ACnO Commission Special Joint Workshop Meeting.
October 4, 2004
Page 14 of 27
could we do. You know, what could be done on a non-expensive basis and
came out the gravel would be a possibility to do, but I don't like being put into a
position by somebody saying that we would do something and I am not sure that
we said that. The other thing that really irritates me is that this project went
ahead of building a school and I am not sure that - and we may have been, but I
am not sure that the Highway District was brought in as a (inaudible) partner on
that at that point and time as far as safety was concerned. Now, I just feel almost
like - you know that the person that somebody went and bought a dog next door
and now I have got to build a great big fence to keep the dog out of my yard. It
just kind of irritates me a little bit.
De Weerd: I think everyone was caught with their tail hanging out there. The
school district, the Highway District and the City. We all approved this project
being put there and no one really looked at how things were going to connect to
it. I certainly know we learned something through our planning staff and City
Council that we may take a look at it, but we don't really plan the sidewalks, we
like you, have sometimes just a narrow look at it, but we all need to start looking
a little bit farther and this one project certainly opened our eyes to that and I think
it opened all of our eyes to it.
Franden: I will just say one more thing and then let others. But, your are
absolutely right. We have got so many needs in the area of sidewalks around
our schools throughout this county that is unbelievable and one of the things that
we have done is that we have gone in for a five million dollar request to HUD and
for our congressional delegation to help us to get money; to start getting larger
blocks of money, so we can address these problems throughout the county. One
idea that came up when we were meeting with Eagle a couple of weeks ago was
that we, as the Highway District and the cities and the county that we come up
with a list of things and a presentation that we can make to our congressional
delegation as a whole, as the cities, all of us to Jet that congressional delegation
understand how desperate some of these needs are and solicit theif help, So,
that's one way that we are going to get the money that we really need to have to
do these things right. (Inaudible -------------------)
Wynkoop: Two points. One is theirs is kind of quicker funding for safety bussing
that I (inaudible -------) out there and I don't purport to be an expert on the
latest developments in that, but one thing we might want to check and be careful
about is we don't want to build a pathway that turns out maybe not to be a total
solution, but that it at least provides some access such that the school district
loses it's safety bussing and funding. They get reimbursed for state authorized
safety bussing and so when I found out at the meeting that the school district-
(Tape turned over)
Wynkoop: -- create a more serious safety problem than now exists. But, the
path itself was never going to be the total safety solution here. It was a helpl but
(
Meridian City Council! ACl1uCommission Special Joint Workshop Meeting
October 4, 2004
Page 15 of 27
there is other safety issues in the Valley and I don't know the answers on that,
but we don't want to inadvertently through that (inaudible -----) and create an
even more unsafe situation. Then second, I guess, is the point that I think
everybody is making is that we do need to learn lessons from this - I think all
three agencies and certainly there is a new statute that was adopted to kind of
post date the approval of Sawtooth, I think it just took effect just recentlYI but I
believe our staff is going to be looking much more carefully at the bigger picture.
Not just the access points. I mean, I think we were all in this kind of box where
here is the things we look at. This has opened our eyes to say here is a new
subset of things that we better look at because this isn't going to be the last one
that were are going to see. If you look at the Meridian School District's inventory
of available sites, many of their sites are going to be on this same situation.
They can't wait to buy a site until the road has been built to five lanes and the
subdivisions have all been built out. They have got to somehow get that site
before the whole area is fully developed with subdivisions and roads. This is
going to be just a really ongoing thing where we are going to see many of these
very kinds of sites, especially from middle and high schools. The elementaries
they are trying to put more in the middle of subdivisions so usually by the time
the school is built you will have much of the curb, gutter, sidewalks built, but for
their middle schools and their high schools all their sites are going to be just like
this one_ They are going to be probably mid-mile and on an arterial someplace
and they are caught in that dilemma of timing of there won't be curb, gutter and
sidewalks. There will be the old narrow two-lane railroad, so until it's fully
developed out, how do we safely get kids to those school sites because they
have to build the school at some point before total build out. This very scenario
is going to be repeated and I think what we are all going to have to do, school
districts and ACHD is really look at this a lot more carefully and figure out how to
do some interim safety measures until the build out occurs. It's not going to be
simple and ies going to involve money.
Franden: Ms. Eastlake.
Eastlake: Just to follow up on what Mr. Wynkoop was saying. We have the
problem that a school district comes in with an application. They are going to
access onto a public street. Our only legal ability is to require them to improve
the site the (inaudible) of buying their property. We cannot exact from them
offsite improvements like we can exact from a developer offsite improvements
unless they are directly related to the impact that they are having. So, they come
in mid mile and it's a quarter of mile to the intersection both directions and there
is no sidewalks and we have no mobility. First of all, we don't own the right of
way, probably. We can't require the property owner's to give us right of way. We
can't require the school to buy it. We can't require the school to build it. I mean,
we have got private property rights. We've got (inaudible) issues. We have got
exaction issues. I am not sure if we were where we are today and the school is
coming in today that we have a solution to this problem. So, this is what Dave is
talking about. We had better start looking at the big picture. But, I am not sure
Meridian City Council! ACHD Commission Special Joint Workshop Meeting
October 4, 2004
Page 16 of 27
we have the tools. We know exactly what the problem is. I am not sure that we
have the tools to solve it. So, it is going to be a continuing problem, if in fact the
schools are going to be located on two lane rural roads where there are no
improvements and where development has not fully built out a (inaudible).
De Weerd: So, knowing all this, we'd better get our staffs together with the
school district. Start identifying where these future school sites are, how they are
phasing them in and seeing how we can connect and seeing how we can bring
solutions to this because it is - as rapidly as that school district is growing, we
will have future projects just like this. We had better be prepared and I heard
they bought a site up on McMillan along that wonderful huge ditch and so we
definitely know we have a future issue up there. So, if all of staffs can get
together and start seeing how and what solutions we can bring to it and even if it
is grant eligible to start even pursuing it in that fashion, but we have to find
something.
Eastlake: But then what I wanted to finish with is I am not sure that we want to
be in the position of building just wider shoulders_ I am not a person who thinks
we are not maybe taking on liability. By just building wide shoulders and having
fifth/sixth graders walking down wide shoulders and saying that solved the
problem. I mean sidewalks have got a reason that they are - they have got a
curb and they are separated from the street is because kids tend to wander
around when they are walking to school. They don't stay in some little narrow
line and I am not sure just how many shoulders is (inadudible----).
Bivens: Just as a follow up to again having been on both sides of this, I certainly
don't want to create a problem for the school district that I feel a very high degree
of loyalty to, but it may come to a point where if consequences of locating on a
rural two lane section it could may be that the school district will have to put into
their bond some calculation for at least some of the facilities that there were
some way to even partner with ACHD findings so that we are not after the fact
looking at that because their dilemma is once they have spent all the bond
proceeds on a site, they have no way of doing these things. But, it may be in
order to get the cheaper ground by going a little bit ahead of the development
cycle it may be that one of the costs ends up being that they are going to have to
figure out a way to add into the bond cost some of the pedestrian facility or
maybe there are some other solutions, but I think that the idea is excellent that
we really ought to urge you a task force between our staff, Wendell and his staff
and Anna and her staff to try to say look this is going happen again, now what
lessons have we learned from this and what are we going to do next time?
Speaker?: I think we really got that already started. We got that started that day
we met with (inaudible----).
Bivens: How we do anything or-?
/r .~
(

Speaker?: Communication started -
Bivens: Bruce is there a formal working group on this yet or -?
Mills: Mr. President, Madame Mayor. No, there is not an official one yet. We
have met with the Meridian School (inaudible---------) the new state statute
just came out a year and one half ago, I believe, that says that we must address
these issues in a lot more detail than the developer must. The Highway District
is tasked with looking at all those issues (inaudible------) the development
comes forward for a school site, pedestrian all of the pedestrian crossing issues,
bicycles - there is about 20 different items that has to be addressed. We have
met with Wendell Began of the school district to talk about those items so that in
the future development of (inaudible) brings forward he is going to have to hire a
traffic engineer to address a lot of those issues and they will be addressed in
more detail in the reports that we get that we pass along to the city that we bring
along to the commission.
Bivens: But I think a working group. at least the three parties, sit down and say
how are we going to address this in the future? We are very much open to ideas,
but one possibility may be that you have got to put in some funding in your bond
calculations and that's usually two, three or four years ahead of the site opening
and it may actually be even at the land acquisition stage. It may be that the
school district is going to have to formulate in the cost benefit of a particular site
acquisition, while we can get this site that maybe has already some pedestrian
facilities or we can get this site, but if we get this site we are going to have to
factor into it some additional costs where the creation of a pedestrian facility. I
am-
Eastlake: Because that's just a Meridian School -
Bivens: But, this is like three, four or five years ahead planning of a school
opening -
Eastlake: David, is this a Kuna school problem as well and a Boise school
problem as well or are we just not (inaudible-------) -
Bivens: It's not a Boise school problem because Boise is not building any new
schools at the present (inaudible-------)
Bird: Boise should be included because we got as many facilities in the city limits
of Boise as we do in Meridian.
Bivens: They are all pretty well built out areas.
Franden: Well, in the interest of time we will keep - the thing that I just wanted to
emphasize is we are all very sensitive to the problem. We all are concerned.

We all are parents. We all understand, but one of the main things, Mayor, is the
counts for one thing, didn't warrant. The other is that there are so many that are
before this one that need to be addressed. So, somehow we will figure out how
to tackle all of these as we go. Okay? Thank you.
De Weerd: Just as long as you communicate with the school and deal with them,
right?
Franden: Don't you want to?
De Weerd: This is your thing. Not mine_ I usually just facilitate.
Franden: Oh, okay, okay_
Item 2.
Update on Meridian Transportation Management Plan - City of
Meridian/ACHD:
De Weerd: Who was updating on the transportation plan?
Bird: City of Meridian.
Canning: President, Mayor and others present. I like the way that Katey said
that that shortened everything up quite a bit. I was hoping our new transportation
planner was going to give you the update today, but he is in Disneyland with his
family, so that was a good thing_ So, I can give you a brief update and hopefully
the ACHD members of the staff that are on the Steering Committee with me can
help me out as needed and that would be Terry and Bruce. On Thursday the
Steering Committee met with the consultants and they showed us their
presentation that they would be giving later that night and it really was a great
presentation on traffic modeling and what goes into the models and showing that
it's not a black box, there really is something that goes on in that black box and
how the numbers come out; very informative, great slideshow and then just as
background information and then we went through - they had nine listed, but it
was probably about 15 different alternatives that they wanted the Steering
Committee to review and pick six of those that they would go forward and do the
modeling on. So, we did go through those. We had a lot of discussion and in the
end we had quite a bit of consensus from the Steering Committee on where we
wanted to go and then the hope was that that night they would take the
presentation to the general public and they would get some ideas, if we'd missed
anything along the way_ Unfortunately, it was the night of the debates and they
had a miserable turnout. They only had eight people show up and this is
compared to 40 or 50 people that they had been getting for these things in the
past. So, they were very disappointed in that and I'll leave it at that. The
scenarios that they are going forward with and this is where Terry and Bruce will
come in handy, if I can remember the six. One was just going with the
transportation improvements that are planned. So, that is kind of the no change
(
Meridian City Council I AGhU Commission Special Joint Workshop Meeting
October 4, 2004
Page 19 of 27
scenario. One would be the five-lane Meridian Road. Another one was kind of a
innovative couplet that they had come up with that wasn't going through
downtown, it would end before downtown, but it would facilitate the left-hand
turns that are westbound on Franklin to all that development kind of on the west
end of town, which was one of the issues that came up in their preliminary
analysis as important. Another one was the original couplet as proposed by
ACHD a number of years ago. They were going to look at a round-a-bout at the
Corporate - Meridian - Main intersection just because that's really the only way
to deal with the Waltman Lane issues, so they did want to look at that as one of
the alternatives and then a 3rd street connection extension of grd to 2 % or just
extending 3rd is another one. So, those were the primary ones. We had a lot of
discussion about four lane Meridian verses five lane and could that be kind of
incorporated into one scenario and then we were able to pull some things into the
general discussion as the base case scenario and some of those were Waltman
Lane, right in right out only and some other just kind of standard improvements
that we felt should be added to the base case scenario. So, that was the
recommendations out of the Steering Committee. When they took it to the
general public, they commented the most on the kind of modified couplet and just
kind of had this how on earth will that ever work out feeling about it. So, they
weren't too keen on that. Most of the - but, I think that what they got was on a
four lane verses five lane Meridian Road and straightening out that alignment.
So, that is what I know to this point and I am sorry I didn't get an update from
Steve before he left
Franden: Questions for Anna?
Eastlake: None of these have gotten to a point of actually estimating costs, yet?
Canning: No, this was just narrowing down the large set of alternatives to six.
The next step is to take those six and to go down to three and then I think they
do their evaluation, their full evaluation on the three. So, they will do some
preliminary evaluations on these six.
Franden: Thanks. Mike I forgot to get back to you on the intersections, the
Mayor's questions,
Brokaw: For the record I am Mike Brokaw the manager of administrative
services and treasurer. I will just read you the list that the Commission
reallocated some funds from after we had adopted our budget. The first one is
Cloverdale and Fairview moving up the design from FY'08. The second one
was Franklin and Maple Grove, it was moving up the design to coordinate with a
federal aid project. Fifth Street and Front, that was construction. State Highway
69 and Victory, that's the design portion and State Highway 69 and Deer Flat,
which is also moving up the design. Terry made a quick look at what some of the
signals in the north Meridian area, where they were falling in his prioritization list
and I believe Franklin and Linder is currently scheduled for construction in 2007.
{f.' '
(
Meridian City Council J AChd Commission Special Joint Workshop Meeting
October 4, 2004
Page 20 of 27
Ustick and Linder is scheduled for 2009 and Ustick and Meridian is still in
prel1minary development or PD. So, that's what we did in reallocation process
and thafs where some of the signals in the north Meridian area stand right now.
Franden: Questions for Mike? None. Mike, thank you.
De Weerd: Mr. Chairman.
Franden: Mayor.
De Weerd: I guess just to get our staffs together and start looking at what would
you do on north Meridian? We are getting an awful lot of people out there on
(inaudible) where stop intersections and again we have an open ending finding
that these developments are supposed to be participating in some kind of
transportation improvements and jf we continue to ignore it, well our window will
close.
Rountree: It will be built out.
De Weerd: Exactly. This was our opportunity and our attempt to do something
that maybe ACHD couldn't do, but we need to get our staffs together and see
what we can.
Franden: Any comments from staff at all as far as any work that is being done or
planned to be with the City of Meridian staff? And the other question I have is on
the north Meridian (inaudible --~-~-) what the status is of that.
De Weerd: It's all hung up on transportation.
Franden: How?
De Weerd: On finding these solutions. On seeing if we can fill these findings.
AI! the rest of the plan is done. We are waiting on the transportation.
Franden: All the land use is done and all of those things; sewer, water and so on
and so forth?
De Weerd: Uh hmm.
Franden: Mr. Mills,
Mills: Mr. President, Madam Mayor and others this is an issue that we have - I
think I have sat up here before and talked about this several times in previous
joint meetings_ At the present time, the north Meridian area, the way it is being
handled is through the CIP, that is the method that we have in place. We collect
impact fees and they are supposed to pay for all improvements needed in the
(
Meridian City Council! AChuCommission Special Joint Workshop Meeting
October 4, 2004
Page 21 of 27
next 20 years. That plan will be updated to - it has to be updated in three years
and probably again in 2006. At that point, if the continuing growth in north
Meridian area occurs, I anticipate that it will probably kick more projects into the
north Meridian area that will need to be funded in that next CIP. Until then, yes,
there is some language that goes into the staff reports that leaves the
development open to potential other fees as needed or required and the one that
has been talked about has been an extraordinary impact fees, however, that
shoe hasn't seemed to fit yet in the north Meridian area. In other words there is
still a fair amount of capacity on those roads. Yes, there is some congestion that
is building up at certain intersections. Not generally for an extended period of
time. Traffic is probably better to address that than I am, but at this present time,
the course we are on is through the C IP and the impact fee program to arbitrarily
throw in any type of extraordinary fees, we would have to basically define an
area, figure out what projects would need to go in that area and create an
extraordinary an (inaudible) district that would assess extraordinary fees on top
of our impact fees. However, I don't know that we could justify that at this time
because we are saying that we have a CIP that covers that.
Franden: Ms. Eastlake.
Eastlake: I think that Bruce has said it, but I don't know if people are
understanding it. When we started the north Meridian plan with this idea that it
was going to be a real look at the un~fundable costs within the infrastructure in
the north Meridian area and it was going to address the system, where
development could pay for it's costs. What happened is that the north Meridian
planned basically, in my opinion, said there is no need that the development will
pay enough in the system that's in place to cover the cost of their development
impacts and there isn't any need for another funding source. Then just either at
the same time we are following right on it, our citizens committee to update our
impact fees looked at the capital improvement process and said that based on
the growth model that came from COMPASS and the traffic analysis of that
growth model in the next 20 years, this (inaudible) impact fees are going to be
adequate and the other sources that the other district has to match those are
going to be added to do all the improvements. So, there is nothing left. The law
won't let us say to somebody you have to pay us more money when we don't
have anything - we don't have a north Meridian plan, we don't have a capital
improvement plan, we have nothing that says the resources aren't adequate to
pay for the needs. We can't be out there just charging money if we don't have
something that shows there is a need that is not going to be funded. I don't know
where we go with it.
Franden: Commissioner Wynkoop.
Wynkoop: The problem I am having with that is that's not what Washington
Group said. Washington Group said there is going to be a serious funding deficit
or either that or I misunderstood it, or maybe they are just wrong, but that's the
(
Meridian City Council I AChLJ Commission Special Joint Workshop Meeting
October 4, 2004
Page 22 of 27
dilemma I am having and the frustration is I thought we commissioned on
Washington Group study and they said there was going to be this huge deficit out
in the north Meridian area that impact fees won't cover.
Mills: Mr. President and others, if I could address that I believe that what the
Washington Group did was they said these are at full build out this is what's
going to be required in the north Meridian area. I think the disconnect there was
that they listed every project that was ever going to be needed at full build out in
the north Meridian area. It did not say okay, but what's needed in the next 20
years? It just said regardless of time line, given the zoning land use of those
parcels, this is what's going to be needed out there and they listed those projects
and what the costs in that would be, but I do not believe that they meant that over
a 20 year period.
De Weerd: Mr. President.
F randen: Mayor.
De Weerd: And I believe (inaudible) those deficits we thought this finding could
help bring a solution to and that it didn't have to be on the CIP, that it looked at
the area as a whole and what can we do - what can the City ask for in our
findings that maybe ACHD couldn't ask for and that's what we continue to
struggle to try and find and again, you know, with the cautionary note that those
opportunities diminish everyday, every building permit and we would just like to-
if it's your staffs opinion there is absolutely nothing that we can do at that finding,
then we will just close that loop, that finding and say okay I guess the intention
was good. The city wanted to ask for something that, perhaps, you couldn't, but
we just - we would like to find out a definitive answer. Is there something that we
can be putting in that condition that we can ask for or not?
Franden: Commissioner Eastlake.
Eastlake: Me President, Madam Mayor. I think that the one thing that we are
going to have a talk about this f think Wednesday - the one thing that I think our
CIP is really having the tough time addressing is the fact that we have to decide
in the CIP whether we are going to (inaudible---) a three lane road or five lane
road. If we say we are going to build a three lane road, it'll come back that the
demand is for maybe 10 years earlier and if we say we are going to build a five
lane road, so that where we might need a three lane road in 2009, we probably
don't need a five lane road until 2019 or something like that. The difficulty is if we
put in three lane roads and we don't get the right of way for five, we can't then
build five lane roads 10 years later because developments come along and so it
seems to me that thafs a place where we might - where there might be
something we can do here by saying ACHD is going to decide to use either a CIP
three lane roads and that will move up the timeframe for construction of those
improvements. But, at the same time, we might - maybe there is some way that
(

we can say that because these roads have to go to five lanes in the next 10
years that the city could as a condition require that that extra (inaudible) figure or
whatever it is be left undeveloped, not that we don't purchase it because we can't
use impact fees to purchase it, I think, if it's only a three lane road and we don't
do it for five to ten years, but maybe there is some way that we can figure out
how to state the need as a three lane road, so that it gets into the CIP earlier, so
that the construction costs do come here, the intersection costs and all that, but
then we somehow say but for right away purposes we need to preserve five
lanes in the development application. So, that 10 years later we can then come
back and buy that extra 15 feet or whatever it is on each side. So, maybe that's
what we ought to be talking about is some way to focus the CIP on the short term
needs and the long term needs both and figure out how the city can then help us
do the right of way preservation because right now we are leaving this - we are
giving reports that say the applicant can do this or this or this, trying to get some
system to make sure they don't build in that place and don't put their sidewalks
someplace that we are going to tear the sidewalks out and maybe that's what we
need to do.
De Weerd: And, I think that those were the kind of things that were even
discussed, even to the point of only having a continuous sidewalk on at least one
side of that arterial and not having to do the curb, gutter and sidewalks and
seeing how early we could get the intersections at least built and you know
worrying about the rest of the arterial later and those were all ideas that were
tossed around and -
Eastlake: -and we haven't gotten any further for it.
De Weerd: -- we have never gotten any further for it.
Eastlake: And the other thing I remember us talking about was this idea of
offering the developer, especially if they are doing a lot of the frontage. You
know a third (inaudible) half a mile. Maybe, they would step up and build a whole
mile on one side and agree to be reimbursed, you know, sometime later because
it would sell their project. You know, I mean there's those kind of things too that
we haven't really done too much of.
Franden: Commissioner Wynkoop.
Wynkoop: Tammy I appreciate you trying to force this issue because you are
exactly right. We have frustration - you have been trying to help us. We keep
putting this stuff in our north Meridian reports and it's getting us nowhere. It's
either time to figure out what it means and do something specific or forget about
it and just say north Meridian is like the rest of the county. So, how do we bring
this to a head, Bruce and Anna?
Franden: Commissioner Bivens.

Bivens: I guess the point that I wanted to point out and I certainly and totally
agree with what has been said as far as being able to - if the developer is
voluntarily willing to set aside that land, but if they are not, to me we are wide
open for taking controversy, which we are (inaudible) of - so I think maybe we
lack the tools to be able to accomplish what you say and you are right. This is a
tough one because some way we need to set aside some land and that corridor
preservation, I sat on the transportation committee there in the house and we
had about three to four bills in there that we hadn't done nothing - never, yet
that's the (inaudible---),
De Weerd: Mr. Chairman.
Franden: Madam Mayor.
De Weerd: Just to bring this to a close is it's these kind of discussions that our
staff are supposed to have and then to go to the development community and
see if we could bring some solid solutions to the table and do something with that
finding. But, you know there has to be some work done to even go to the
development community (inaudible) and then we can do something with that
finding or not, but again I don't want to see this go on too much longer this week
do lose our ability to affect anything positive.
Franden: Also, I saw Bruce and Anna over there conferring with each other. Do
you have a plan?
Canning: Yes sir, Mr. President, Madame Mayor and others. Despite my first
flippant remark, I am sorry. I think there are a couple of ideas and I just talked to
Bruce and I think if ACHD makes it clear what their eventual right of way needs
will be, I think we can work with that with the developers and they are pretty
understanding_ It gets frustrating to them when they hear what's in the CIP and
planning staff is saying, but we know we are going to need more eventually and
they are like well you are not the road people and so it's frustrating to them. So, I
think if we have that information from ACHD that would help. Also, when we
started re-Iooking at north Meridian area plan, it was my understanding from the
development community that the land use issues were no longer a problem, but
recently they have been harping on me on those, too, so some of those we
started with those transportation issues associated with north Meridian area plan
thinking that that was really the remaining issue, but there are some land use
issues that are still outstanding apparently. So, I have committed to working
going back to that and looking at those overall land use issues and the
development community is very interested in that, so we can talk to them again
aboLlt some of those things. The one that really seems the most difficult is the
question about how can we get some of these intersection improvements done in
advance whether the developers funding them, what kind of incentive can ACHD
give them and I think that that's the one thing where we really need your help is

how can - what carrot can you throw out there to have them do? Because I think
it does have to be a carrot. I think we are all - our hands are tied as far offsite
improvements, so-
Franden: Could we ask that your staff and our staff get together this month and
then by the end of the month we have a report ~ if nothing else is just to grow
more report on what progress has been made and what direction we are going
and keep this on the burner and keep - what we could do is we'll ask that at least
once every month that we have an updated report so we are moving in the --
EasUake: Maybe we ought to have another meeting with Meridian just on this
issue.
Bird: We need to because-
Eastlake: Just schedule a special meeting -
Franden: Okay.
De Weerd: Let's throw Item 3 on there, too, since it's late.
(Inaudible discussion)
Franden: Is there anything else? The only thing I would just like to say in closing
is that I really appreciated this meeting and it's really evident to me is the
pressures that are put on both of us because of growth and what we are having
to respond to and we are all doing our very best. I apologize if I got a little bit
excited over the school issue and the access there. I guess it's just part of what
we are all dealing with, but what we decide to do is to work as closely as we can
with you and the city and do whatever we can to do what is best.
De Weerd: And I agree, John, we want to know how we can make a difference
with the traffic situation and some Meridian improvement online as quickly as
possible and I know that there are some things that you can't answer and if there
are things that we can, we certainly would like to bring that into our findings and
be more help to your efforts and so that's all we area trying to do.
Eastlake: Do you (inaudible--) the charge on Dr. Freilich, does it take into
account any of this? I mean, is the kind of thing that he might begin an address
or is that -- ?
Franden: I think so.
(Inaudible discussion)
Franden: I see (inaudible) nodding his head.

Eastlake: Because I think his expertise is so broad.
De Weerd: I think we are all real vague on what's (inaudible---).
Rountree: I think the long-range transportation plan should address what these
(inaudible ----) look like,
Eastlake: And it seems to me that maybe somewhere we can solve the
pedestrian problem, too. Maybe if we can get five lane corridors preserved, while
we are building three lane roads and we can put the sidewalks back at the edge
of the five lane corridor or we can get the sidewalks in there even if we don't
have the street improvements in there. We can get the intersections done. You
know, I mean maybe there is a way to piece meal some of these projects in a
way that cannot have to all be torn up. That's the problemy we are so stuck on -
we don't want to build sidewalks and then tear them out.
Bird: It's a money (inaudible--~----).
Inaudible discussion.
De Weerd: Well, we like the detach, so just make a detach and maybe they are
not as -
Franden: The detached at the full five-lane build out and everything.
Eastlake: Except the problem is you don't own the property on the two sides of
the developers.
De Weerd: So, get your attorney on that.
Levihn: Sorry, to interrupt, I was just going to give some good news to the rest of
the commission that we received on Friday as part of our funding effort and
positioning actions to get us in a position to be recognized on a broader scale
than just locally. We submitted for a bicycle friendly community award to the
League of American Bicyclists and on Friday, we received a confirmation smail
that they were going to make an announcement today. We haven't seen it yet.
A national award has been given to Ada County Highway District as a bronze
winner of the bicycle friendly community award and they have got four different
levels. They have got bronze, silver, gold and platinum. Nobody has a platinum,
yet. There are two gold in the United States. That's Palo Alto and Portland.
Then there is a rash of silver and a rash of bronzes. We are the only countywide
district that has received the award, It's all been municipalities before. Although
some other counties have applied and it's based, not just on lane miles Of
connectivity, although that is a big part of it, but also on your policies, your
procedures, your maintenance. For instance, our quarter inch special chip seals

for the bike lanes on Hill Road. Those kinds of considerations given to bicyclists
and every two years they re-evaluate us to see if we stay the same, move up or
worse case drop back. But, we wanted to let you know that that should be
coming out. Thank you.
