Clerk Niemann: Yes. Crookston: I don't recall anything being in the covenants pertaining to that. Also on page 7 dealing with fences, I think there needs to be something in there about on street side it be maximum of 3 feet. On paragraph 9 on page 9 it deals with conduct business, the way it is stated it would be in. violation of the zoning. The Motion was made by Tolsma and seconded by Giesler to approve the covenants on Gem Park *2 subject to changes recommended by the attorney and City Engineer. Motion Carried: All Yea: ITEM *2: COVENANTS ON ONE SUBDIVISION U: Crookston: I have reviewed those. There is a spelling error on item 16. I don't know if the Council wants to address this but in item 2l it talks about garage sales. Page *4 talks about a 1200 sq. ft. interior floor, I don't think that meets with our Ordinance. The Motion was made by Tolsma and seconded by Yerrington to approve the covenants on One Subdivision *1 conditioned upon the City Attorney's recommendations. Motion Carried: All Yea: ITEM #3: PUBLIC HEARING: VARIANCE REQUEST BY PAUL EVANS: Kingsford: I will open the Public Hearing. Don Evans, 1112 N. 3rd, Meridian was sworn by the Attorney. Evans: I am also the builder on this project and will answer any questions that you might have. This is a lot that is in old town, it is l38 ft. deep from Ada Street back to the alley on the north end of the property. The lot is 45 ft. wide. The City has MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 6, 1991 PAGE *2 a requirement that all two story houses set back 10 feet from the property line on both sides. We are asking that on the east side we will stay within the requirements but we are asking on the west side that we be able to build within 7 feet of that property line which gives us a variance of three feet. Myers: The lot is 45 feet wide? Evans: Yes. Myers: So your house is going to be 28 ft. wide. Kingsford: What is the square footage? Evans: 1600 sq. ft.. Kingsford: Is there anyone else to testify on this variance? Hearing no response I will close the Public Hearing. The Motion was made by Myers and seconded by Tolsma to approve the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law for the setback requirements.

Motion Carried: All Yea: ITEM *7: BID ON PARKING LOT AT CITY HALL: Jim Shearer: We have only received one bid on this project. The bid corne in at $39,900.001 our bid estimate was $30,,000.00. I think we are considerable over our bUdget and this is quite a bit over what 'we'd planned. Kingsford: It would be my recommendation that we reject the bid and look at bidding that in the 1993 fiscal year budget. The Motion was made by Myers and seconded by Tolsma to reject the bid. Motion Carried: All Yea: ITEM #8: COVENANTS ON MERRYWOOD SUBDIVISION: Crookston: On Page l3, I assume they are requesting to be allowed not to have street lights and go ahead with the yard light situation, if they do on paragraph 5 on page l3 it needs to mention that the lights need to be wired directly to the panel. Again we have a zoning violation, that's page 14 in paragraph 9. The Motion was made by Myers and seconded by Tolsma to approve the Covenants on Merrywood Subdivision conditioned upon attorney's comments. Motion Carried: All Yea: ITEM *9: DEPARTMENT REPORTS: Wayne Forrey: Thanks City for allowing him to help the staff. Jack Sweet is here I he is on the Downtown Improvement Committee and he has some good pointed comments directed towards E. 1st. People were very pleased with the project until it got all of a sudden quiet and they wondered where was the contractor and why weren't they keeping on schedule. There are a few reasons why and I'd like to explain those. First of all throughout the project property from Idaho Street Intersection to King Street there's been multiple leaking irrigation pipes, some of that is due to age and some due to materials. Another concern was rerouting irrigation lines to solve some problems, when they were rerouted they went over existing city water mains, then there wasn't enough depth between the two pipes and not enough cover so it took extra digging and things like that. There is insufficient drainage by DD and Dicks Car Corral and that has taken quite a bit of redesign and we still don't have ACHD approval. There is further insufficient drainage at Ada Street. Explained further problems and complications that have arisen. (TAPE ON FILE) MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 7, 1991 PAGE #4 Forrey: Explained segments for construction and dates. (TAPE ON FILE) Kingsford: Mr. Sweet have you had a chance to visit with the people in segment two at all? Sweet: I don't think that the people are aware of the implications of the extensions and everything. I think your going to find it's going to hit the fan when they really understand this whole thing. Gave remarks about contractor and E. 1st Street project. (TAPE ON FILE) The Motion was made by Myers and seconded by Tolsma to approve of Wayne Forrey's proposal and incorporate those of Jack Sweet's. Motion Carried: All Yea: Kingsford: Are there any questions of those in the audience with regards to this? Lance: Offered any assistance needed. Kingsford: The Council received just before the meeting a proposal from C.T.F.I. Northwest, Jim Tallmon who is here tonight. This is in reference to the old High School property. Giesler: This area that we are talking about has all been approved and everything. Kingsford: Well no, they are talking about renovating it and I'm sure they realize that they have to renovate it to code. One question that I have for you Jim is as your talking about in your proposal here, living accomodations. How many people would you be looking at housing? Tallmon: We are strictly talking about small classes, not more than 12 to l4 people at anyone time. Kingsford: All of those won't necessarily stay there? Tallmon: No, probably not more than half the class would stay. Kingsford: You plan to use the whole facility. Tallmon: Yes, we'd start with the outside of the building, get it cleaned up and everything and at the same time start work on the inside. Kingsford: I can't speak for everyone/ but I'm delighted to have someone interested in using that building. Myers; I think it's a great idea Do you have any kind of a time schedule? Tallmon: As soon as we can sit down with Moe and see what kind of time lines they have Kingsford: I guess as long as you meet the life safety codes building codes and so forth and the zoning issue you need no approval fcom us. Thank you for coming. MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 6, 1991 PAGE *5 Kingsford: I had asked the Council last meeting about salary changed ace there any cecommendat ions?
