Anderson: Mr. Mayor, I have a question of our legal counsel on the Findings of
Facts for the Valeri Heights Subdivision. What, with all our options with this
Meridian City Pre-Council M[

Page 2
(' ~
thing, I have had a conversation with the developer today, and I guess they're
having a meeting with the homeowners in the area this week on Wednesday
night, and they've addressed some of the issues on the public testimony that we
had. I guess what are our options with this? Does it have to be acted on
tonight? Could it be tabled for two weeks to find out what the outcome is of the
meeting with the homeowners?
Nichols: Councilman Anderson, Mayor, members of the Council, if you want to
table this item to the 20th pending receipt of additional information, then on the
20th you'd also have to then schedule it for another public hearing to receive that
additional information. You'd also have to - one of the Council members voted
with the majority would have to move to reconsider their vote, reconsider that
decision. Then that motion to reconsider would have to be moved by majority of
the Council. So it would have to be a motion to reconsider and motion to re-open
the public hearing for the receipt of additional information, rescheduling a public
hearing to receive that additional information and then proceeding.
Anderson: And then if we don't do that, then it just gets - we accept the Findings
and then it goes back to the normal process with any changes that they may
come up with; they resubmit that to P & Z?
Nichols: They would have to reapply. In other words, if you were to accept these
Findings based upon the motion that was approved at the last meeting, then that
project that was presented to you would be denied. If they wanted to come back
with something different, they'd have to go through the whole process again.
Anderson: Okay, thank you.
Corrie: Anything else that Council has questions on?
Bird: Mr. Mayor, has the staff got any of these Findings? Have they got any
questions or details that we should know?
Item 15.
Public Hearing: AZ 00-008 Request for annexation and zoning of
23.6 acres for proposed residential and commercial zones from AP

deWeerd: Mr. Mayor, on Item 15 and 16, is that withdrawn on Teare Terrace
Subdivision?
Meridian City Pre-Council Mei,
June 6, 2000 .
Page 3
Stiles: I received a letter from the applicant, not the applicant, but the owner's
attorney asking for it to be withdrawn, that they've withdrawn their consent. But
the applic'ant has not withdrawn, so I imagine we still have to go through with the
public hearing and have the Finding that notarized consent was withdrawn. I
don't know what else to do with that one. We did have the notarized consent. It
was submitted with the application, but since the process has started, the
applicant's attorney wrote us that letter asking for it to be withdrawn.
Nichols: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, if this annexation request is for
more than five acres, then you can annex it without the owner's consent. So this
withdrawal of consent effectively removes one of the Iynchpins that have to be in
place so - I don't know that there's any reason to go forward with a public
hearing given this letter.
Stiles: We had asked for the applicant to withdraw the application or figure out
with the owner what was going on. I don't know if the terms of the agreement for
purchase of the property went through or what, but the applicant hasn't called
back or sent anything in to the City that I know of.
Nichols: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, it might be the safest play to just
leave it on the agenda, and if the applicant doesn't show up, this letter is entered
into the record and close the hearing and deny the application based upon the
withdrawal of the consent.
Bird: Sounds good.

deWeerd: One more question for Mr. Clerk. Do we have the Development
Agreements for Touchmark and Bear Creek? Have they been signed yet?
Berg: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, no I have not received signed
Development Agreements. In fact, discussion with the representative for Bear
Creek said to me today that they need to get some changes on the owner
signature. So I assume that as soon as that gets taken care of, that will be on
the next Council agenda, but until then, I don't have signed documents.
deWeerd: Touchmark and Bear Creek.

are you suggesting on G, H and I, if anything?
Anderson: I'm not really sure where I want to go with that. I'd like to allow them
to have this meeting with the homeowners and see if they can address some of
the concerns that they've got that were brought up at the last meeting.
deWeerd: So would you recommend tabling that?

Anderson: We would need to hold those. Table them.
Bird: We can table them until June 20th on those if that is what you want to do.
Anderson: But then we'd have to re-open the public hearing on the 20th, right?
Bird: That is if you -
Corrie: You couldn't open it. You've got to post it first.
Nichols: Councilman Anderson, Mayor, members of the Council, the 20th would
be too soon to have another public hearing because of the publication of notice
requirements, but it sounds to me that what the Council is asking .for is to find out
if there's some resolution of the neighborhood issues, and if the answer is that
they think they have the neighborhood issues resolved, then at the 20th you can
re-open this matter and schedule it for a date certain to get the details of that
neighborhood workout. If, on the other hand, the word comes that they didn't get
those things worked out, then you deal with these findings as they were
presented. That's the way I see it going so rather than tabling it to July 5th and
then reschedule a hearing for that date and so forth, maybe there's nothing to
come. Maybe there's no resolution.
Anderson: But if you get a new public hearing at that point and find out there
was a resolution, then you'd have to prepare new Findings if there was anything
new.
Nichols: Right. We'd have to do new - there would be a new motion and a new
set of Findings to take in the additional information.
(inaudible discussion amongst Council members)
Bird: Do you want to pull those?
Anderson: I'd like to pull G, H and I until the 20th.

Kuntz: No, I think it's real straight-forward. It's a matter of formally accepting the

Bird: Okay, thank you.
B. City Engineer - Gary Smith:
1. WWTP - Digester/Clarifier Project, Change Order No.3:
Corrie: Do you want to hear Gary on the Wastewater Treatment Plant digester /
clarifier project? Gary.
Smith: Mr. Mayor, Council members, that's a Change Order request for some
granular backfill material, import material that was used to replace material that
was excessively moist and was not suitable for support of the building. So that's
the reason for that Change Order.
c. City Planner - Shari Stiles:
1. Discussion of Star Impact Area:
Corrie: Shari, do you want to share the discussion of the Star Impact Area right
now?
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, I didn't get a copy of their entire application. This
is what they want us to comment on. Did you all get a copy of this map in your
packets? It's a little hard to read, but they do have their primary area that they're
requesting, and their secondary area would be similar to what we have a referral
area. You'll note that they're going south of Chinden for half a mile up to
McDermott and going to Chinden up to Ten Mile. What the County
Commissioners have asked for the Council to comment on asking for any input at
all that you have so that they can use it in their negotiations with this group that
they have.
Corrie: Shari, I had a meeting with Mayor O'Connor in reference to that, and I
told her that we will probably not be very inclined to go with their area of impact
south of the 20-26 or Chinden Boulevard. She agreed to that. She said that
Council would agree to that as well. So I would just reiterate I think with the
Council if they think the same way. I'm supposed to write a letter to the Ada
County Commissioners for her in reference to the area of impact. I personally
don't have any objections to the area of impact - you don't all have this sheet, do
you?
Bird: We've got a small -
Meridian City Pre-Council M~r

Corrie: Just south of Beacon Light and north of Joplin Road and it goes out here
to Highway 16 just a little ways. This is pretty much the one that the judges that's
looking at that said they might let them have the area of impact. The
Commissioners are looking at this right here. As far as going south - well, that's
the secondary area. They wanted to have this the primary area (inaudible) The
Ada County Commissioners said we could have this little here. So I need to just
make it pretty plain in my letter that if the Council agrees that not to go south of
Chinden as far as we're concerned. That's the one that I'm concerned. She
wants to do north or they want to do east, that's Eagle. See, they have the river
here, and everything else is pretty hard to sewer. (inaudible) highway. I will
certainly make that known in the letter. She suggested that letter to me to write
to the County Commissioners. If any of you would like to see it, I rejected that
letter, too. No sense in making everybody mad at Meridian. Okay, any other
comments?
Anderson: Mr. Mayor, I would agree. I wouldn't want to see them extend their
impact area south of Chinden. I would also think the one-mile section on Ten
Mile just north of Chinden in the secondary area may at some point become a
point of contention. I'm not sure if we want to endorse that one at this point
because I think we would probably be able to sewer and accommodate that area
way before they could. People could be coming to us asking us for annexation in
that particular area.
deWeerd: That's in your Fire District, too, is it not?
Anderson: It is. We'll have a station on Ten Mile, we can get there pretty
quickly.
Bird: That square-mile area is our Rural Fire District, isn't it?
Anderson: Yes, to the south channel of the Boise River.
Bird: Okay.
deWeerd : To Black Cat?
Anderson: Goes past Black Cat and out to - is it McDermott we go?
Corrie: Okay. I'll make that notation and get that letter out. Anything else,
Shari? Anything else on that one?
Stiles: Mayor, did you want me to draft that or are you going to do that?
Corrie: If you want to draft it, let's get together tomorrow morning. We need to
send it. Chief, do you have anything?

D. Police Chief - Bill Gordon:
1. NNO Parade:
Gordon: Mayor, Council, there's an organization, a national organization of crime
prevention and safety awareness that is being sponsored in the Treasure Valley
area. A Meridian resident, Linda deHaro has taken it upon herself to put this
together, and it's called National Night Out. What it amounts to is block parties
which are safety awareness I crime prevention. Includes ambulance, fire, police.
The Neighborhood Watch Program is involved in this, and the~ have block
parties. Meridian is scheduled for three block parties on July 29. Boise and
Nampa and Caldwell and Canyon County are also involved in this. At the
conclusion of the block parties, they're all going to get together and send over
their cars or police cars or fire engines for a final grand finale in Meridian which is
a parade from Rite Aid to Storey Park. Storey Park is where the booths will be
set up for safety awareness. We run into kind of a catch in that. The insurance
company, ICRMP, says that this is an independent function and not a City-
sponsored event. I guess what I would ask the City of Meridian or the Council is
to declare this a City event and allow me to take care of the insurance for the
parade on a rider basis rather than an individual insurance policy. An individual
policy is $800 to $1000. This group does not have that much money in their
coffers. They don't pay dues to anybody. They gather donations. The food that
we're going to barbecue, the Police Department is, and I promise to get
instructions from Councilman Anderson on cooking hamburgers, but those will be
sold and that money will be rolled over into the City as revenue and rolled over
until next year to help pay for the cost of next year's budget. We've got Police
Department, Fire Department, Mothers Against Drunk Drivers, Crime Prevention,
Crime Stoppers, Meridian Lock and Key, Police Bike Safety Patrol, State Farm
Insurance paid, ADT Alarm, Citizens on Patrol and our Explorer group are
already going to be involved in this function. It's almost solely a Meridian
function, the parade is. Next year I would guess that it will move to either Boise
or Nampa or in Canyon County somewhere. This year we've been chosen for
the parade by this group which is just a local group of citizens. I would ask that
the Cou ncil allow me to call this a City-sponsored event and put it on.
deWeerd: Well, it sounds like it is.
Gordon: Well, ICRMP says we need to designate if it is or it isn't. If it isn't a City-
sponsored event, then they're going to have to get their own insurance policy. If
it is, then they can go on a rider on our insurance.
Bird: Sure we can do that on the regular agenda. We can get that approved on
the regular agenda.
Gordon: That's alii had, Mayor.

Bird: What time are you gong to do this, Chief?
Gordon: It starts at 6:00 in the morning. KQFC radio will be broadcasting from
Storey Park. 10:00 the parade starts, and when I say parade, it's not going to be
like the Dairy Days. It's not going to be that long. It's going to be some police
cars, some DARE cars, some fire trucks. We're going to drive down East 1 st to
Storey Park. Noon will be the barbecue. The Mayor will read a proclamation on
crime prevention. The barbecue starts immediately, and it should be over by
2: 00.

if we were going to compete against some other parking problems.
Gordon: No, sir. July 29th.
Corrie: Anything else?
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor, we need to do the public hearing on the Designation 2020
Plan of COMPASS. We have an upcoming open house for our Comprehensive
Plan on the 22nd. Perhaps we cou Id display the 2020 plan at that same open
house and have public hearing in July on it. Would that be appropriate? The
open house for the Comprehensive Plan is the 22nd of June. It goes from 2:00 to
7:00 at the office and convention center where Planning and Zoning is. It's just a
drop-in thing. They'll present the different components of the Comp Plan and
have, Shari, we'll have copies available for people to review. July 5th.

Item 4.
Appeal of Zoning Administrator's interpretation of the Ordinance by
Tim Bever:
Corrie: Item NO.4 is an appeal of the Zoning Administrator's interpretation of the
Ordinance by Tim Bever.
Bever: My name is Tim Bever. I live at 6754 Cochrane Drive, Meridian. I have
some things for the Council here. We own property at (inaudible - away from
mic) The property is at 613 Meridian Road which is down here behind Kentucky
Fried Chicken. The area is zoned C-G. The client that wants to rent this from us
is Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and we were told that we need Conditional Use Permit
because it is a car lot. At least, that's what I was told. Then that's what I was
told why you need a Conditional Use Permit. This is the letter from Enterprise
Rent-A-Car which has thousands of locations all over the country. I don't know if
you remember, they're the ones that bring the car to your house and then come
pick the car up, and you don't have to go anywhere to get it. That's kind of their
MO. This is the letter from the manger, Dan Adams, who is attending to answer
any questions you might have. The sales office is basically where their sales
people come in and they go out and they make sales calls with corporations, car
dealerships because they don't send out loaners anymore, insurance companies,
and then they come back and do their paperwork. Automobiles will be stored in
the back of the property in open storage back there. You read the letter with his
intent with what he can use. There is very little traffic going in and out of this
location, and it - the lot is 55 x 150. It's an existing house. The next page is
basically just the general retail and service commercial definition of C-G zoning
which I've included, and I'm sure you're pretty privy to that. Also, there is a listing
of C-G zoning as we interpret it. It would be a professional sales office. They
are not selling cars, they do rentals. They will not sell any cars here. They do -
the licenses can kind of explain - next page indicates what a professional sales
office is per your definition of it, and then the third page is storage facilities
outdoor. This is an approved usage of the property there. Then there's a
.(.r
Meridian City Council Specia,. ;ting
May 23,2000 .
Page 6
(
definition of what the outdoor-commercial storage will be. If you go - I have
some photographs. I took a picture of this property, and you can see it says
front, 613 Meridian Road. It's a little house that has been re-worked with a
handicapped ramp that was already put in. We did go through Ada County P & Z
sometime back and had to go through the condemnation to get the sidewalk in
with the Ada County Highway Department when they want to put their sidewalks
in, so they have been in there before. It is hooked up to City water and sewer. If
you notice to the immediate left on the picture, this is Republic Storage that does
the outside/inside storage, little locker-room storages and that sort of thing. To
the right of the property, you can see a trailer house, this is a camper-top sales
place which is immediately to the right. Just past them you come to Corporate
Drive which is going to go through at some time in the future as I've been told.
The next picture if you look at it, the view of the south, it has the same fence
around it that they put around the storage building because the City required
them to because they currently own this piece of property at one time. So it has
the same fence that is around the back of this. The privacy (inaudible) you can
see the inside how it's all boxed in. You can see the storage behind it on the far
end of it because Republic Storage wraps around the property on two sides.
Immediately to the left is the office where they check people in and out, and then
it kind of wraps around to the back, and then the camper guys have a piece of
property that borders Corporate Drive and kicks back to this piece of property
and around, so you can kind of see where it is. We feel that it's within the
definition and the zoning that is on the area. It is open to interpretation, the
zoning is, there's some ambiguities that we found in there. You can't have a
wholesale warehouse, but you can have an indoor storage and wholesale
facilities. You can't sell ag equipment, but you can sell farm equipment. These
are on the lists in here. So we found a lot of interpretive problems with this. I
spent a lot of time with it. I just don't feel that this message has any impact on
the areas outside of the commercial designation on it. Very low impact. If you
have any questions, Dan Adams is the manager. Very clean business.
Somebody we'd very much like to have be there. It's land-locked, it's an old
house, been there for 42 years. The front of it is all paved, concreted. The back
of it isn't. We wanted to pave the back of it, but I understand you have to put a
tree in. There's no place in the front - Shari suggested we put the trees in the
back behind the 8-foot fence. We would like to put these Douglas Fir miniature
trees in the very front of the building because it would look a lot better. There is
just virtually no place on the front of it to tear up the pavement and put anything
without destroying the property. So that's kind of what we'd like to do, and we'd
like to make a suggestion for the small trees in the front because the back will be
paved because it has to be paved to be able to park cars back there. Egress
access, you can see on it - you go in one side and out the other. The garage
has a garage door on it. It's going to have another garage door on the back
where they vacuum the cars out. There's not going to be any car washing there.
They go across the street to the Chevron that has a little drive-thru car wash is
what they'll use. They'll use that for vacuuming. No cars parked in the front,

everything is kept in the back. So that's kind of what we think it ought to be.
Shari doesn't agree.
Corrie: It kind of went backwards here. We should have heard from Shari and
then you. It's all right. Shari, can you make comment on this for your staff, and
then we'll -
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, you have my memo dated June 2, 2000. It is still
my opinion that this is not a permitted use in the zone. It's not listed. It may be
similar to other uses that are permitted, but the Ordinance does specify that if it's
not listed, they apply for the Conditional Use Permit and if it is determined that
the use is similar and compatible with listed uses, then it may be permitted as a
conditional use.
Bever: May I speak?
Corrie: Are you done, Shari?
Bever: The conditional use process would make this not a viable client in the
amount of time that it takes to maybe get a yes or a no. The property is 42 years
old. It's got a history of commercial use. This is an interpretive issue with this list
of stuff that we're kind of - no wholesale sales, no warehouses, but it's very
ambiguous if you really get into it, and I have. I have a lot of examples of
interpretive things. This is a sales office with outdoor storage is what it is. That's
what it says here, and it's on the list on two pages, and I've given those to you.
Specifics in this are very general, very vague. They use the word et cetera in two
of the descriptions. They say cars, autos, et cetera. What is an et cetera? If
they want to say it's not on the list, has to be specific, well, this is the problem
that I'm having. This is just a call. I don't believe that it's based on anything.
Corrie: You are aware that she can't change an ordinance? She has to interpret
one. What she has done here, the use is not specifically permitted or listed in the
district. That's the one that I think she's going on. There's nothing in our
Ordinance that says this is able to do a (inaudible). That's why she did one
interpretation. You have another. Now the Council has to determine whether
they want to go ahead and do what you are asking or what she's doing.
Bever: Okay. I think if you read the definitions of sales office that I supplied to
them, that's anything that's bought and sold, basically. If you look at how
(inaudible) storage is specifically what it is, but the sales office function, if you
look at what your definition is in your book, it is doing commerce. Whether it's
leasing or selling or whole bunch of other things, this is where it gets real vague.
It is in there. It's not specific, and it's not general, but we think those are the
activities that are going to take place on that piece of property. Again, I think
they'd be a good corporate citizen for this town. They're very limited in where
they can go because if they're now dubbed as a car dealer, they might have a

Page 8
hard time coming to Meridian because those areas are quite fringe and kind of
hard to come by. Again, if you have any questions on the business, the manger
is here.
Corrie: Council, questions?
Anderson: Mr. Mayor, I have a question. Does the front of the property need to
be used for the storage of cars or is there enough room in the back?
Bever: No, sir. The back is more than ample. It's 150 feet long by 50 feet wide.
I can show you on my plat plan that there's not much room to meet the
requirement of backing up front. It works now, you put a tree in - well, I can't
meet the so many feet and then back the car up to get them out. They will not
store any cars in the front.
Anderson: So is your proposal to landscape that and meet our ordinance?
Bever: The landscaping, in talking with Shari, and if anyone visits the site, they
can see that when they put the sidewalk in and did the condemnation on that,
they left 40 feet. You put a car in there, there isn't - you landlock it to a point you
can't get a car in the parking spots. The landscaping - I'm open for it - to put
trees in the back behind an 8-foot privacy fence with sprinkling system and my
enjoyment because you will have a building on both sides when the camper-top
guys get built. It will extend above the 8-foot fence, and also around back. I
would like to put the money in front of the building in the drain pit where we could
put these pots with these big Douglas Pine miniatures is what they are - they're
dwarfed so they can take the heat and they don't go so enormous that you can't
manage them, but they're very nice. They're very expensive, but we'll put them
in. Now, I've looked at them a lot what we could do to make it better. You could
put a tree in with the irrigation in there and you'll be pulling it out when it pokes its
head up through the pavement. It's just an old house that was encroached upon,
and now we've got the front, the back is wide open. It goes back quite a bit.
Anderson: So you are willing to landscape the property?
Bever: I am willing, but I want to do it smart and I want to do it so the City
benefits from it. It talks about the benefits to the City and the citizens, and that
would be in the front of the building in these pots. I can't put giant trees, but
there would be three- or four-foot of these, probably four or five of these out
there. There's a nice spot for them if you look at the picture where it says front,
the handicapped ramp, you'll see that there's a bed down below this ramp right
here, and it goes over here also, and basically that is a drainage thing because
when they elevated this creating the pond there, we put drainage rock in there
and now it drains off really nice. We were going to have this resurfaced, too.
That's where they would go. It would go the full front of the building and one
here on the end. I'm open to suggestions other than destroying the place. That's
/

kind of - if you saw it, you'd go, Yeah, there's no where to go with it other than
the back yard or do it someplace else. If they want, I'd have to put in two trees,
we're putting it on 2900 s.f. of asphalt because there's some over there, I don't
know how you count it. We could put those in the back, in the corner and put
sprinkling systems to it, but I don't think that was the intent. I think it was out to
be on the corridor where people drive by and see your pad. I understand the
reasoning behind it, and I know with new developments, there's real opportunity
to do that kind of stuff, and I support that. Over developments, you do what you
can and you try to be reasonable. That's all. Do you have any questions?
Corrie: I don't think so. Thank you. Council, you have the decision to - whether
you want to stay with Shari's interpretation of the - what she's done and ask that
it goes through a Conditional Use Permit or you can bypass - correct me, Mr.
Attorney, if on the vote they can bypass the Conditional Use Permit area here
and permit it; is that correct?
Nichols: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, this is an appeal of her decision. If
you conclude that this is a permitted use, then they're allowed to proceed. If you
conclude, as Shari did, that it's not a permitted use, it falls into that catch-all
category and becomes a conditional use. So it's the Council's decision whether
it's a permitted use or not, and Council's permitted to interpret its own
ordinances.
Corrie: Discussion? Hearing none, I will entertain a motion on the request of the
appeal.
Bird: Mr. Mayor, I move that we interpret the ordinance on this property as being
within the zone, the planned use of it, that they are going to use. Anybody
understand that? I'm for letting them go ahead and put their building in.
Corrie: OkaYJ Mr. Bird, do you want to paraphrase that a little better?
Bird: I move that we reverse the Zoning Administrator's interpretation of the
ordinance.
McCandless: I'll second.
Corrie: Motion is made and seconded to reverse the Planning and Zoning's
interpretation of the ordinance at this time. Is there any further discussion?
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor, the only caution I would have on this is since we do not
have it in our definitions, anywhere you have a commercial area, this will be
allowed, and it's probably one of the businesses that's not specified. It is listed
as conditional use. So be careful what you do because once you do this, it will
be permitted anywhere in our commercial areas.

Anderson: Mr. Mayor, I just wanted to comment that it would probably be
impossible to list every possible type of business that could come to us, and
that's why the term Uet cetera" was probably put in there, and I think listening to
Mr. Sever's explanation of what is going in there that I think it would be a logical
assumption that to figure that this would fit into this type of zoning. I really don't
think that we're establishing any type of precedent here. I think this would be a
good use and probably should be reversed.
Bird: Mr. Mayor, I'd like to comment that the new construction, I think you can
have your rules and regulations, but a lot of times on these older commercial
deals it is impossible and if you can get a good, clean business in like this is
going to be, I think it adds to the City instead of takes away from it.
Corrie: Any further discussion?
McCandless: Mr. Mayor, just a comment that each case should be considered
under its own merit, and it isn't necessarily a blanket decision.
Corrie: Any further discussion? Questions have been called for. All those in
favor of the motion say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
Stiles: Mr. Mayor, I would like to point out that the applicant does need to get a
Certificate of Occupancy prior to operating and does need to meet the ordinance
requirements in regard to landscaping and trash enclosures unless a variance is
obtained.
Bever: Would a variance be necessary to (inaudible) out front?
Corrie: I think you can work that out with the Planning and Zoning Director.
Thank you, Shari.
Item 5.
Tabled from May 16, 2000: CUP 00-012 Request for Conditional
Use Permit for Maple Grove RV for RV sales, RV retail and repair
in an I-L zone - 2490 W. Franklin Road:
Corrie: Item No. 5 is tabled from May 16, 2000 for the request for Conditional
Use Permit for Maple Grove RV and RV sales, rental, retail and repair in an I-L
zone, 2490 West Franklin Road. So first, Shari, we'll start this quickly here and
we'll have Mr. Dugan.
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, do you have a memo from myself dated June 2,
2000, in your packets? As I recall from the last meeting, the applicant was to get
with staff if they had any questions or needed clarification on any of the items for
approval. The Ada County Highway District has revisited this based on a letter
Meridian City Council Specii' ~ting
May 231 2000 ...
Page 11
(
that I wrote them that's also in your packet. They have been undergoing many
staff turn-overs at the Highway District, and overlooked some of the issues with
this project. They did meet again on Friday, and hopefully you have their reports.
Do you have their draft report? Their tech-review report? The Highway District is
asking for the 48-foot right-af-way dedication, construction of sidewalk, and
another issue that they - I don't know if any of the items are going to be
appealed by the applicant, but they have also asked that one of the driveways be
closed because it does not meet their policy. I think the other main issue that
came up, still, was the construction of a firewall in the existing 3600 s.f. building.
We have had no response from the applicant on whether that would be
considered what he is planning to do. I guess he can address what his issues
are that are remaining. I've had a very difficult time understanding what his
issues are. It seems to be a new one every time. We would request that you
consider this a favorable recommendation and include staff comments as
conditions at approval.
Corrie: Come back again, Shari. You approve of the Conditional Use Permit
based upon your recommendation; is that what you're saying?
Stiles: I would recommend approval with staff conditions.
Corrie: As long as they meet all the staff conditions?
Stiles: Yeah. One thing that we hadn't ironed out yet, we would like to tie down
the signage that's permitted out there. There's stuff out in the right-at-way and
all along the fence. It would be great if we could tie that down with this
Conditional Use Permit, what kind of limitations would be on signage.
Bird: Mr. Mayor, Shari, the staff conditions are the June 2, 2000, the latest ones?
Stiles: Yes.
Corrie: Any other questions? All right. Your turn. Before you get started, have
you seen that letter of June 2nd?
Dugan: I da believe I have, Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: All right.
Dugan:: Mr. Mayor, Honorable Council members and distinguished City
representatives, my name is Matt Dugan, and I am the President of Maple Grove
RV Services at 2490 West Franklin Road. I would like to apologize in advance
for taking more time than normally allotted for verbal comments; however, I do
believe once I am finished the City Council will have the material and information
necessary to render a decision. I gave Will all my - this packet that I have in
front of me. I, Matt Dugan, stand before you the victim of a bureaucratic

nightmare. It began 20 years ago when the property known as 2490, 2492 and
2494 West Franklin Road was annexed into the City of Meridian. Much to my
disappointment, it will not be completely resolved tonight. What we have here is
what comes first: the chicken or the egg. My partners and I own a small piece of
land that fronts the two-lane road which everyone knows will be widened to four
lanes some day. The land sits around it on three sides by 1 00 acres of
agricultural and livestock even though the zoning is light industrial in the City
limits. Across the street is hundreds more acres of agricultural zoned residential
and County jurisdiction. We are so rural that there are only three human
neighbors within the City's definition of neighbor to have received notice of this
application. There are no city service trunk lines within the mandatory 300 feet to
require or allow hook-up and no plan on file with the City to (inaudible) trunk lines
or to find the implication date. Having been a resident of the area for 30 years, I
have witnessed this same scenario occur numerous times. Most recently when a
section of Franklin Road between East First and Linder was widened. Being a
customer to many of the landowners who were in business prior to road-
widening, I am aware that these sites were allowed to develop as City services
became available and to finalize permanent fixtures like an asphalt parking lot
when the roadwork was to be completed. These reasonable accommodations
were made for landowners to avoid undue hardship, and we respectfully request
the same considerations. The best I can hope for is that the City Council will
understand why I change - excuse me. The best I can hope for is that the City
Council will understand what I am about to propose is not undue. Granting a
Conditional Use Permit at this time will not constitute a change in past practice
which has been approved and condoned by the City of Meridian and its entities
for years. In the interest of justice, equity and reasonable accommodation, I am
requesting that the City Council approve Maple Grove RV's application for a
Conditional Use Permit and submit the following position statement on proposed
property improvement site plan to support this request. The facts are complex,
but the crux of the problem is simple: The City annexed without securing a
commitment from the applicants to deviate the City from liability to provide for
services that are required by Ordinance. I have tried to quietly point out to the
City and its entities that I am willing to be flexible and wait for the time when the
City is able to provide trunk lines necessary for hookup in exchange for
reasonable accommodations and timing of property improvements to avoid
undue hardship. It seems that the Planning and Zoning Department does not
want to compromise on issues that have direct relationship in the necessity of
City services for compliance. Instead, Planning and Zoning wants to take the
strictest interpretation of Ordinance compliance for Maple Grove RV and yet
does not apply the same standards of compliance to the City itself. I could use
numerous neighbors and fellow business owners within the City who are also
held to the - not held to the latest level of expectation defined as minimum
requirements of approval by the Planning and Zoning. I will not use finger-
pointing to make my case. The facts speak for themselves. Let me leave note
that providing trunk lines to within 300 feet of said property is a responsibility of
the City whether by design or default unless the City wants to install the trunk

lines for said services immediately, the City must be willing to compromise on
requirements that are directly or indirectly related to the installation of City
services. Impeding the process has been the calculated harassment and
discrimination by the Planning and Zoning Director who wants to heap the
burden of responsibility on me in retaliation for complaints about her consistent
inappropriate behavior and the lack of accurate and up-to-date forms, policies,
procedures and publications her department is responsible to administer. Her
continued attempts to influence others with claims that contain innuendo -
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor, I'm sorry. But I don't think this is appropriate to attack our
staff in a public hearing. Are you going to read this whole -
Dugan: Mrs. deWeerd, she attacked me in a public letter.
Corrie: Let him finish.
deWeerd: Are you going to read these whole six pages?
Dugan: We have time restrictions, do we not, Mr. Mayor?
Corrie: Yeah-
deWeerd: I think we need to read this, and if you want us to consider what is
written here that maybe we re-visit it at our next public meeting.
Dugan: Well, Mrs. deWeerd, that's up to the Council members themselves. I
don't have control over this meeting. All I have asked is to come and show what
my side of the story is and what I am supposed to do to meet these
requirements. How can I meet the requirements when I'm not the one changing
the rules every two minutes when it is a Planning and Zoning Director who wants
to give me different opinions every time I walk in there? From my site-specific
plans of the original site-specific plan, I had seven requirements. I now have 19.
I have a letter that is full of lies. The Planning and Zoning Director has lied.
Even in my site-specific plan, she has - if you read her letter, the last paragraph,
she comments on - excuse me - she comments on the agenda when I said last
year it took me a year and-a-half to get through this process, last meeting, and as
the Mayor can attest that I have been trying to do this for almost two years, and I
originally put in my application March of 1999. She put in my site-specific plan
that she wanted to clarify this, and I didn't start until January 2000 which is not
the truth.
deWeerd: I think there must be a better way of hashing out the -
Dugan: Mrs. deWeerd, if you have a better way, I'm all for it. I have done
everything that I have possibly can do. I have sent official complaints to the

Mayor that I have not received any word back on. Not one. The letter was over
a month and-a-half ago.
deWeerd: But I think, Mr. Dugan, we need to spend time on the application and
the items that you are contesting, not what has been said or what - how long it's
taken. Let's try and resolve those issues and identify with those issues and see
what we can do so in her recommendations what do you not agree with?
Dugan: Well, my problem is that I have no City services down there to my place
at no fault of my own. So what happens is if I have to develop this piece of
property to comply with City ordinances, I'll have to pay for a parking lot twice. I
don't have no place to hook up. I have no place to stub my water lines. I have
no place to put my sewer lines.
Corrie: Matt, let me clarify something for you. The staff at their meeting with you
the last two times, they said rather than having a fire sprinkle system because
you don't have water there, you have a well, you can put up a firewall in the
building where you do your welding, and only do welding in that area. So they
would take care of that part of it. That would be one of the conditions. The other
is that you asked for a Conditional Use Permit to sell motor homes. Now what
this is that you have now, you've got ACHD involved, and technically speaking,
you don't even have a permit what you're doing from the City. There's nothing in
our files that says you even have an occupancy permit for what you did. Now
that's the crutch of the whole thing. Now what Mrs. deWeerd is asking, you have
seen this letter on June 2nd. I'm going to reiterate what about this, Item 1, 2, 3, 4,
5 and 6, and going down this whole thing, I presume you've read it, let's just take
it one at a time, then. Do you object to the section about the Ordinance that says
off-street parking?
Dugan: I'm going to have to find it. One second, Mr. Mayor. Do I have the
letter?
Anderson: Matt, you can borrow my copy.
Dugan: My problem with the off-street parking is that if I put in my parking lot,
and I do it according to Ordinance that I'll have to dig up the whole parking lot to
hook up to City services when the lines come down to whenever the trunk lines
come in. That's my problem with doing it. So I'm paying twice for a parking lot.
That - so that's why -
Anderson: (inaudible) have to do that?
Dugan: Excuse me?
Anderson: Why would you have to do that?
Meridian City Council speCie ating
May 23,2000 ""
Page 15
('--
Dugan: Because I'd have to dig up and hook up to the City lines from my
building back to the front.
Anderson: Could you lay a dry line now?
Dugan: Well, the problem is we have no point of where we're going to put this
dry line. There's no sewer points, how deep it's supposed to be, how far it's
supposed to be, how end of the road it's supposed to be. There's no drawings,
there's no nothing. Where am I supposed to hook it? How are you supposed to
put in a dry line?
Corrie: Have you done a drainage plan?
Dugan: A drainage plan? No, we have not gotten to that drainage plan. The
whole parking lot now is all gravel and it has surface drainage. Paving and
striping, again, if it comes down to the issue that I don't want to tear my parking
lot up twice. Outside lighting, I have no problems with. All signage I have no
problems with. When we talked about it at the Planning and Zoning level when
the Commission was in, the only sign I asked to keep was the sign over my big,
large building out back and I'll put the sign up out front according to the City
ordinances. Determine the seasonable high-ground elevation, and that -
Corrie: I'd imagine you'd need an engineer for that so you don't get drowned out
on what your drainage and that is. Go ahead.
Dugan: Okay. I have no construction for No.7.
Corrie: That's American Disabilities Act. Okay. No.8 is where you said you can
put the wall -
Dugan: No.8 is where we put the wall up. I just want to state for the fact that we
are sitting in there and with this conversation, there was no compromise being
met, and they was like, If you don't have City water, you're not going to have it. I
said, well, what happens if I shorten the building up or I do take 600 feet off of it
or whatever I can do to do it, how can I do that? Well, Yeah, if you take a section
of your building out. I go, well, what happens if I put a wall up? Can I put a wall
up? They look at each other and they said, Well, yeah, you can do that. So I
mean, I was the one who was having to come up with the ideas. I feel like the
City was trying to say that they're the ones that are saying that this was a great
idea and we're trying to compromise with them.
Corrie: But they said you could do that, right?
Dugan: I don't have a problem with that. What hinders my building is - this
building has been there, has been hot works, has been condoned for 1 0 years.

They've been doing maintenance in there. Ms. Stiles calls it a storage shed. It's
not a storage shed. It's a shop. It was built for a shop.
Corrie: Okay. Your landscaping and paving would be done with a variance
request. Do you realize that?
Dugan: Yes, there was, at one time, except for a variance, they did give me the
information for a variance request. But I was just going how many applications or
how many things do you have to do to get to this point? As well as a variance
request, the landscaping that they want on each side of the property with City
ordinances, it requires a zero buffer zone and low landscaping is required except
in the front or the rear unless there's houses within 300 feet of the property.
There's not houses within 300 feet ot the property, so there's a zero buffer zone
on three sides of it except the front. She wants a 35-foot setback. You know, I
have no problem meeting a 35-foot setback. It's just that right up the street they
were only required to put a 20-foot setback in. With the 48-foot right-af-way of
center on Franklin Road, all these things are addressed in my report that I was
going to read. The 48-foot setback and the right-ot-way at Franklin Road - I
have no problems with that. When we bought the property, we -
*** End of Side 1 ***
Dugan: -- 48 feet from the center of railroad, and Ada County Highway District
said that they would buy that property. And what I was told in here, she was
wanting me to give the 48-faot right-af-way, 35-foot setback and I told her
nobody's bought that property and everything, and Shari told me that if I want the
- if I want my Conditional Use Permit that the City Council can require me to give
up that land and just when Ada County Highway District develops the road, then
that's when you'll get paid for.
Corrie: ACHD said that they'd buy that property?
Dugan: Yes. ACHD said that they would buy that from me.
Corrie: Then you've got the five-foot sidewalk required by ACHD?
Dugan: No, it's going to be the only thing I have to (inaudible) sidewalk, I have a
whole mile stretch. Again, I don't know if the sidewalks will be tore up because -
you know, the five lanes that are going to come in. I don't know if they've done
any drawings on the five lanes that are going to come in. The sidewalks that are
going to come in. There's nothing that - what we1re going to have is 200 feet of
sidewalk and a mile stretch.
Anderson: It says you can provide a letter of credit. You don't have to build the
sidewalk. You have an option there.

Dugan: That's fine.
Corrie: So actually, bring it down to where the river meets the road here, Matt.
Are you willing to put in a wall in that building and do the welding behind that,
nothing but welding? In case there's a fire back there, it will stay there and
doesn't get to the other trailers?
Dugan: To get approval, if that's what I have to do, that's what I suppose I would
- but I am not, because that it is such a hindrance upon my business. It cuts my
building in half. I have no use of the building It's just a huge hindrance upon
this. I have a building permit that says I even conform to all City codes when this
building was built.
Corrie: You have a building permit?
Dugan: Yes. For the building that was constructed, yes.
Corrie: That - not as an RV - you don't have an occupancy permit for the RV
repair?
Dugan: I didn't know I was required to have an occupancy permit because when
I bought the property from G2B, they didn't have no occupancy permit. They'd
been there for years. I didn't know you had to have an occupancy permit. All I
thought is that I'd go in there and meet the industrial light definition.
Corrie: You say you were not aware that you had to have an occupancy permit
for an RV repair, that it was not that in the first place; is that what you're saying?
Dugan: Right. I'm saying that the property that was there before was the same.
Corrie: It's not the same. It wasn't an RV repair. It was a (inaudible).
Dugan: But that's like saying the difference between repairing a Chevy and a
Ford for what the building as it's going on - for what the work that's going on in
there.
Corrie: And then you were aware that you can put a bond or a letter of credit to
do those things later within a year or so that's required in the Ordinance for an
RV, CUP, to sell motor homes.
Dugan: I'm not sure what a letter of credit means.
Corrie: It means whatever it costs to do that, then you could get a letter of credit
from the bank that says that we've got this amount of money set aside or you can
set a bond that within a year's period or a year and-a-half it will be done. If it's

not, then the bond will be used to do it. See what I'm saying? Do you have any
objections to that?
Dugan: No, I do not.
Bird: They're not easy to get.
Corrie: They're pretty hard to get.
Bird: Just be up-front with you.
Dugan: What is the problem to get a bond?
Bird: As I understand, and I'm not a banker, to get a letter of credit, a bond
would be easier to get, but with a letter of credit, you have to be liquid enough -
cover all their costs and stuff. It's tough.
Dugan: Well, I have no problem. I really feel that it's the City's responsibility to
bring water and services. I have no problem sprinkling my building right now,
putting a sprinkling system in there and when the water gets there, then I'm in
compliance. So if the ordinance says I don't have to hook up to City services
within 300 feet, can I not put a sprinkling system in there and be in compliance?
Corrie: The sprinkling system has to have the capacity in case you have a fire to
put it out. You don't have enough water, from what I understand.
Dugan: But is that my responsibility, Mr. Mayor?
Bird: Have you asked for City services? Will you ask for sewer and water down
there?
Dugan: I have never, and I have always paid taxes on them.
Bird: You haven't paid taxes on water and sewer.
Corrie: You haven't paid because you don't have that.
Bird; Have you ever applied for that? You're within the City limits. You have
applied for it - our ordinance states when we annexed you that we would provide
services. Have you ever asked for it?
Dugan: No, I have not. I'm sorry. I have asked for the City services in a
complaint letter addressed to the Mayor. I can get you that letter and date.

Dugan: Mr. mayor, may I say that all I wanted to do is I fix RVs. All I wanted to
do was sell a few RVs a year that I refurbish out in the shop out back. I do not
want to have a full-blown RV dealership because my property cannot support it.
It's plain, flat not big enough.
Corrie: Okay. Getting back to the question, the request here is a Conditional
Use Permit for the -
Dugan: Can I ask about No. 17, if approved this Conditional Use Permit should
be subject to annual review or any time upon 1 0 days notice to the applicant. Is
that an average request? Is anybody else -
Corrie: (inaudible) conditional use permits. That's no. We look at other
Conditional Use Permits~ We just want to make sure that all the things that were
requested be done are done.
Dugan: If it was normal, Mr. Mayor, why was it not done in the first site-specific
plan?
Corrie: I don't know. I don't know.
Dugan: Neither do I, Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: I'm just telling you what is the conditions of staff. The Council can throw
it out if they want or they can keep it. The Council, any other questions you have
for Mr. Dugan or do you want anymore testimony here on this?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Okay. Shari? Okay. Then the question is the CUP for the request to
sell motor homes at this point. And the recommendation is to include all staff
comments and we'll go from there.
Dugan: Thank you.
Corrie: Thank you. Staff, questions, discussion? I'm sorry. Council.
Anderson: Just for clarification, Mr. Mayor. Planning and Zoning Commission
recommended denying and staff is recommending approval. Is that correct?
Corrie: With staff comments. That's correct.
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor, just in response to Councilman Anderson's comments, I
think there's been a lot of information that's happened since this was at Planning
and Zoning, and I think the Fire Marshall has met with Mr. Dugan (inaudible) Mr.
Meridian City Council special( .ing

(
Dugan came up with a good idea to compromise. I think that has changed some
of the position of staff (inaudible). Is that accurate, Shari?
Stiles: Well, except for the fact that it was not Mr. Dugan's compromise. It was
suggested by the staff.
deWeerd: It doesn't matter. It's now satisfactory? With your comments?
Stiles: For the fire code. Yes. The ones that he's addressed, these are old
comments. He hasn't addressed any of these comments in the new memo.
deWeerd: Well, we just had them addressed. I think - is Council satisfied with
what Mr. Dugan's response was to staff comments? Just one more question to
Shari or maybe Gary. In staff comments here, there's considerable information
that's needed on a drainage plan and helping Mr. Dugan on where he can lay his
dry lines for future hook-up. Is that at a stage where that information can be
given to him? Does further work need to be done with Mr. Dugan so he knows
really what is going to be required for him out there?
Smith: Councilwoman deWeerd, are you speaking to the sewer or the on-site
drainage?
deWeerd: I'm speaking of both.
Smith: Okay. On-site drainage can be accomplished by them finding where the
historical high ground water level is which can be done by a (inaudible) looking at
an excavated depth. The sanitary sewer is more difficult. We have at this time
only general elevations for the trunk line that were determined in our facility plan.
We do not have any final design elevations for sanitary sewer. The one thing
that could be looked at would be what the elevation of the trunk line that would
serve this property versus what the elevation of the sanitary sewer is leaving the
building and see how much grade is required to get to the trunk. Then some
expectation or decision could be made whether or not the sewer is deep enough
to serve this property or what elevation they may need to put the sewer service in
at. I haven't looked at the trunk line, so I really don't know the extent of pipeline
to serve this property. I believe it's served through the Ten Mile Creek drainage.
deWeerd: So where does that leave him in his need to know where to lay these
lines so that he doesn't have to dig up his parking lot again.
Anderson: Request a variance.
Smith: We don't have any definitive information on where the invert of the sewer
line will be other than what's been provided to us by the consulting engineer on
the facility plan. Those are approximations. They're not absolutes. Utilizing the
approximated elevation of the trunk line and the elevation of the service line at

the building, a decision could be made without too much effort as to whether or
not a minimum grade of a service line leaving the building or leaving the
property, however it was to be served, could flow to the trunk line as designed on
a preliminary basis.
deWeerd: Thank you.
Dugan: On the back of my documentation, I wrote on the back page, I wrote a
very crude drawing of what I would like to do, and it is actually has 150-foot
driveways coming into the property. I posted where all the water is on the
property that I have possible access to. I'm willing to have more than abundant
fire extinguishers inside the building and am willing to post fire extinguishers on
the outside of every building, the largest fire extinguisher that can possibly be
carried. I'm willing to give the 35-foot right-at-way up-front, and I'm willing to
change my signs.
Corrie: You realize you're eventually going to have one driveway.
Dugan: I realize that, Mr. Mayor, and I'll acknowledge that right now in public
testimony that because ot the 50-mile an hour speed limit is what the reason was
out there. I'll - you know, I didn't create this problem, and I'm sorry that I ever
even mentioned anything, but I'm not sorry because I believe that this is how
progress gets done. All I've tried to do is be a good businessman in the
community.
Corrie: I'll give you that you have cleaned it up a lot.
Dugan: I've cleaned it up a lot. I have shown - if you'll look at the back page, I
drew pictures in there how I have brought the property up to beautification levels
or however you guys want to say it and developed the property the best that I
can. So there's proof there that I'm willing to progress this as we go. I just think
that it's an undue hardship upon myself to make me do all these things when I
pose no danger to nobody. I haven't had one complaint in here that says that
nobody wants this. I haven't had anybody come up and be adverse to me. So
that's what I've got.
Corrie: Thank you, Matt. Well, Council, what do you want to do?
Anderson: Mr. Mayor, I'll make a motion just to get this thing rolling. I will make
a motion that we deny the Conditional Use Permit request for Maple Grove RV.

proposing two separate plats. One is known as English Gardens Subdivision I
and also English Gardens Subdivision II. We have our staff comments dated

final plat because we had some issues, some problems. We were working with
staff on this for a month, at least, maybe six weeks to work out all the issues to
make sure that the plat was everything we've represented in our preliminary.
Also so that it compiled with your requirements on the final. So we have worked
with staff, and staff's been really good to work with. We don't have any real
problems here as far as we're concerned. We just listed five items here that we
would like to see adjusted from what staff was recommending. I've gone over
them with Shari. She doesn't have any issues with what we're recommending.
We would like to go forward with the plats.

Bird: Mr. Mayor, the only problem is we don't know what the staff comments
were because we don't have a copy of it. How can we go forward? I mean, we
have stated the last two years that if it doesn't get here by Friday, don't bring it on
Tuesday. It's not fair to the applicant, it's not fair to our staff, and it's certainly not
fair to the Council and Mayor. We're getting stuff shoved in front of us that we've
had no chance to look at, to read or comment. I can look stupid enough without
somebody helping me.
Corrie: This final plat, if it's held off until June 20th, is that going to make any
difference as far as timing with you and that - are you still within that year?
Unger: Well, that's a hard one for me to respond to, Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: I understand.
Unger: Your staff is very overworked. I know that because I've dealt with them
on numerous projects. They are very overworked, understaffed, and having a
hard time keeping up. I appreciate that. They are at this point. To be perfectly
honest with you, I don't want to be tabled again. I have to answer to my client,
and I've answered to him twice already that we've been tabled, and he's not a
happy camper with that. I think the staff comments, I'm sorry that you don't have
those, haven't had a chance to review them, but staff comments were all
appropriate staff comments for a final plat. We've got a good project. We
comply with your codes. We had a couple requests on just some minor changes
in the staff comments that were very minor. Staff doesn't seem to have a
problem with them. It's unfair for us to ask you folks to approve the final plat
based upon comments that you haven't seen. But then again, it's not fair to table
us again because of that.
Bird: I agree with you, Bob.
Unger: Now, your approval if you approve it this evening, you were going to
direct the attorney to prepare Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law based
upon incorporating staff comments, hopefully our comments, and if there is a
problem with that, then I guess you can hold the adoption of the Findings of
Facts and Conclusions of Law, but what we're asking is that you don't hold us up
again. Please, we'd like to go forward with the project. Until the final plat's
approved, we can't get our construction drawings approved. Until we get the
construction drawings approved, I can't start construction. I'm starting to get to a
window where we're not going to be able to get the project, the infrastructure and
everything built and start drawing and building permits until September if things
go well at this point. We might get September. We go much longer, we're going
to get into the season where they're not going to be able to get the construction
going as far as building, et cetera, and my client has got a substantial amount of
Meridian City Council specia( ting
May 23) 2000 :
Page 26
money invested here. and every time we get put off. it costs him more money.
So that is an issue with him, and as such, I have to represent that to you.
Bird: Mr. Mayor. all issues were - didn't we have that other little subdivision
come up right next to you and some roads were going to be stubbed out and
stuff? Is that all taken care of? Mr. Manship.
Unger: Those issues have been resolved between us and Jeff. Yes. That's all
been taken care of.
Anderson: Mr. Mayor, would it be appropriate to ask Shari to run and make a
copy of her staff comments if she has those with her? We take a chance to
review those?
Corrie: We can. The motion, if you decide to do so, is either accept or reject If
you accept, the attorney will prepare the appropriate order. and then it will have
to come back on June 20th and approve.
Bird: Ron, we can do it that way. Then we'll have it in our packets at that time.
So if you want a motion, Mayor, I'll certainly give that.
Corrie: Let me ask a question. Shari, is there anything in this that you don't
agree with that - I guess it's Item 1 0, they'd rather not get - nine lots, 9 and 19 in
Block 11 - install a cedar fencing; any problem with that?
Stiles: Mr. Mayor, could I run through his comments?
Corrie: No. 1 0, I have no problem with their proposal to leave that as it is. On
15, we were not sure that they were proposing landscaping with the Ten Mile
Drain easement, and that was the reason to request the non-combustible
because of the weeds that would be left there, but they are proposing
landscaping that area, and so we would have no problem with this six-foot cedar
provided that the lattice was used at the top to allow a little visibility for safety
reasons back there. The 1 Q-foot wide easement on No. 18, if that's acceptable
to the Public Works Department and the County Engineer, we have no problem
with that. Also as far as the naming of it, that was partly informational that we did
want to have to know a new name if one was going to be required by John
Priester at the Ada County Engineer. Other than that, we, as far as site-specific
comments, asked for was for them to coord inate the construction of the pathway
with the Parks Director and the Western Ada Recreation District because it will
eventually go into their park and the approval agencies. Standard comments on
sewer and water to go to and through the site. Comment on lot frontage, and
they understand that. There is an issue on these lots. This lot and this lot and
this lot. They do meet the frontage requirements facing this road that we felt that
was a safety issue, and so we had requested that any of the driveways for the
houses located on those lots be located off of this street. And the applicant had
Meridian City Council Specia( ting

Page 27
(
no problem with that. The other, 6 through - all of the rest of the comments
through 12 are changes to the notes just for clarification and cleanup. On No.
13, we had asked for detailed landscape plans for the common areas, and those
will also be given to the Parks Director for his approval, especially along the Ten
Mile Drain. Ask for a permanent - the one he had a question on about the non-
combustible fencing, and I think that's agreeable with the landscaping if you
agree with that. Six-foot permanent perimeter fencing. That was requested. A
standard note about what's to be in place prior to building permits being issued.
We had asked for evidence of monies deposited with Ada County Highway
District for construction of the bridge over Ten Mile Creek prior to signature on
the final plat. Another correction of a note. Then under general requirements we
had nine items, and those are all standard comments that are included on .every
subdivision that's before the Council.
Corrie: So your site-specific requirements, these are the ones that you had taken
that No.1 0, 15 and 18, 21 and you have no objection (inaudible) from staff.
Unger: Nope, we're fine. Thank you.
Corrie: Council have any other questions?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: All right. Then we'll take a stab at that and make a motion for final plat
on English Gardens Subdivision, Item No.6, FP 00-007.
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor, I move that we approve the final plat of 102 building lots
and 14 other lots for English Gardens Subdivision to include staff comments on
June 6 as well as the applicant's response also dated June 6 and to ask the
attorney to draw up the Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law and Decision
of Order.
Bird: I will second.
Corrie: (inaudible) Findings of Facts on this one.
Nichols: Mr. Mayor, if I may make a point of order. Mr. Mayor, members of the
Council, in some of Mr. Unger's comments, they're essentially disagreements
with the staff comments such as the non-combustible fence requirement, so in
order for me to prepare Findings, it would be helpful if you want to override staff's
comments with Mr. Unger's, to specify which ones you want and which ones you
don't.
deWeerd: Can I - Mr. Attorney, can I do it just with the comment that staff
concurs with the response of the applicant and to make the appropriate changes
Meridian City Council Specia( ting
May 23,2000 '
Page 28
to their staff comments? Having not seen them, it's hard to change them. Shari,
did you concur with these responses 1 00 percent?
Stiles: I did provided on the fencing that that top portion was left as an open
lattice or something like that, and they have the landscaping that they've
proposed.
-Nichols: I think it's sufficiently clarified. I understand what your intent is.
deWeerd: Thank you.
Corrie: Did I get a second here? Okay. Mr. Bird. Motion has been made and
seconded to approve the Item No.6, request for final plat approval, English
Gardens Subdivision, including comments of the applicant and the staff and for
the attorney to draw up the Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law. Any

Item 7.
Tabled from May 16, 2000: FP 00-008 Request for Final Plat
approval of 164 building lots and 41 other lots on 50.9 acres with in
an R-4 zone for Woodbridge Subdivision by Woodbridge
Community, LLC - east side of South Locust Grove 'X mile south of
Franklin Road:
Corrie: Item No. 7 is a request for final plat approval of 164 building lots and 41
other lots on 50.9 acres with the R-4 zone for Woodbridge Subdivision by
Woodbridge Community, LLC, east side of South Locust Grove 'X mile south of
Franklin Road. Staff comments on Item No.7?
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, hopefully you have our comments dated June 1 st
and a response from the applicant that's dated today.
Corrie: Yes.
Stiles: I believe that there are issues that they have that primarily deal with the
Public Works Department. We still haven't quite worked out the easement along
Five Mile Creek. It may be premature, but I think that can be handled by working
with the Parks Director for that future pathway along Five Mile Creek. Before I let
Gary address those issues particularly with regard to the water, there is an issue
of the name of the road. They have changed the names within these loop roads
to comply with Ada County Street Name Committee's report. They had initially
wanted one name for the entire road on each side, but I believe that issue has
been resolved. The only issue remaining for the street name is that they want
Meridian City Council SpeCia( ~ing

(
this main road through the project to be able to be called Woodbridge Drive. And
as the applicant explains in his June 1st letter, there is one 200-foot long private
drive in Boise that is also called Woodbridge. I believe Kenny Bowers, Fire
Chief, stated that he doesn't have a problem with it being duplicated in this case.
I don't know if you have a problem with that? Police Chief indicates that he does
not have a problem with the duplication, and the applicant is just requesting that
the City Council approve that name so that they can have the Street Name
Committee approve it and get their plat signed with that name designated on the
plat.
Smith: Mr. Mayor and Council, I'd just like to make a comment concerning the
water pressure in the area of this subdivision. We have made, our consultant,
several computer runs with our computerized model of our water system, and
they project that the water pressure in this area would be in the low 40s to the
mid 50s PSI range. Fire flow is available at the 1 ,000 gallons per minute with
residual of 20 PSI. That's all based on computer modeling. We did fire hydrant
and - on Central Drive near Jabil. We had a very good flow there. The
applicant's engineer has done some additional work in determining pressures
available at the upstairs shower head of a home located on the highest ground
elevation in the subdivision, and they find that to be acceptable to them. The
applicant is aware of our concerns, and as such, they are understanding that a
future connection to the high-pressure zone of this subdivision may be
necessary, and that would be at their Phase II, I suspect, portion of their
development which would be the properties to the right-hand side of Five Mile
Creek as it crosses the drawing on the screen. In accordance with that
understanding, the applicant is willing to install a pressure-reducing valve station
at the west end at Locust Grove Road and their Woodbridge Drive entrance or in
that approximate area such that at a future date, this subdivision could be
connected to our high-pressure zone, and it would allow its disconnection, so to
speak, from the low-pressure zone, but still allow us an avenue to divert flow
from high-pressure into the low-pressure zone. They are agreeable to provide
that facility. I believe in their site-specific comments to our review, Item No.1, I
believe that's what Derek Q'Niell is expressing. The reason that we put a little
emphasis on this issue is that memory of Meridian Greens' low-pressure situation
still exists, and it was necessary at that point in Meridian Greens to install a
booster station to take care of the pressure problem there at a significant
expense to the City. A little bit different because it was a little bit lower. We had
42 PSI, I believe, at the pump station or at the well head, and it went down from
there as you went uphill in Meridian Greens to the south. So from that
standpoint, we're a little better off here because these pressures of the low 40s to
the mid 50s are in the subdivision, in this subdivision. I did want everybody to be
aware that homeowners are not as understanding as the developers sometimes
are. I'm not willing to take the load of all the phone calls if there are going to be
any on low-pressure issues, so that's the reason I'm raising this flag and making
it number 1 in the site-specific comments. I think Derek Q'Niell understands -

*** End of Side 2 ***
Smith: -- the applicant's been very good to work with, and we appreciate a very
quality development. If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them.
Anderson: Mr. Mayor, Gary, you talked about we had a high-pressure zone. Is
that over by St. Lukers or is that back by Jabil?
Smith: It's at St. Lukels, yes, sir.
Anderson: So when you say that we could make a connection there, how far of a
run would that be that would connect to that area?
Smith: From this project's eastern boundary, I suspect it's several hundred feet
through the lots on Magic View Subdivision before you get to Magic View Drive,
and then you could go north and east on Magic View and connect at Allen Street
which is where it is right now. I don't know how many feet that is, Councilman.
Anderson: So if that was required, would the City be the one to foot the bill for
that?
Smith: Well, I guess I'm not entertaining that as a provision for the City of
Meridian to.
Anderson: But you're offering that as a solution to solve the low water pressure,
so somebody has to look at who is going to pay for that.
Smith: That's correct. The reason I brought this up is I don't want the City to be
in a position where we have to install something to increase the pressure in a
subdivision similar to what we had to experience in the Meridian Greens project.
I know Derek O'Niell has a different attitude about that, but I just wanted to be
sure that everyone understands the situation, and I'm not willing, as Public Works
Director, to say the City of Meridian would extend waterline to make this
connection and put this project in a high-pressure zone.
Anderson: Thank you.
Smith: Mr. Mayor, if I could add one more comment, please. Again, this is a
computer model. We try to keep that computer model as accurate as possible,
and that's why we flow the hydrant up on Central Drive near Jabil t~ get that kind
of flow information, pressure information, and the wells that we're operating, the
height of the water in the water tank, all that information plugged into that water
model so that it was giving us the best answer that we could get, but, again, it's a
computer model. It's not actual flow conditions. It is based on a maximum bay
demand. So it's pretty restrictive. Thank you.

deWeerd: Gary, just so I understand what you're saying, are you offering the
developer some options if they do have a no-pressure problem out there? You're
giving them these options that they can do at their expense at a later time?
Smith: I guess the - I'm not sure if I'm offering an option. I'm just trying to make
a statement that there's going to be less than desirable pressure in the
subdivision from my standpoint.
deWeerd: And on the 10th call, he has to put something in?
Smith: I guess we can make that a condition. It's correctable. Can be corrected
to making a correction to the high-pressure zone. That's one alternative. A
booster station in the subdivision can be used too if it was not connected. The
pressure could be boosted by a booster station in the subdivision or at the
entrance to the subdivision. So I guess that's another alternative. A third
alternative would be just to deal with the pressures that are there.
Anderson: What would be an approximate cost of a booster station?
Smith: I don't know, Councilman. I can't tell you right off-hand.
Anderson: Can you give me a ball-park?
Smith: No, I'm sorry. I don't have any information on boosters to - it would be
less than, much less, extending the main line into the high-pressure zone.
deWeerd: But at this point you're not requiring it of them even though you know
you will take the brunt of the phone calls.
Smith: I just have that gut feeling, and just based on experience.
deWeerd: Not a good feeling. Accurate.
Smith: You're right. At this point I just want everyone to be aware of what we
feel will happen based on the information that we've been able to develop.
deWeerd: Can it get worse?
Smith: I don't think so. I think this is a worst-case scenario like I mentioned to
Councilman Anderson. It's a max-day demand. That's an August day, 1 ,000
gallons a minute fire-flow.
Anderson: It can get worse the more homes you add in that area.
Smith: Yes, correct. With this development I don't think it will, but if there are
other subdivisions that connect in this area, you're right. Yes.
Meridian City Council specia( ting

Bird: Also in your comments in Phase II they're required to do that.
Smith: Our comments do say that, and they are - they have come back and
discussed that with us, and we've modified just would agree to their request to
modify that condition as a requirement to connect. This proposal does meet the
State minimum requirements. It exceeds the minimum requirements, the DEQ
requirements for pressure.
deWeerd: Is there any concern for fire protection if development goes in further
out there, is this going to hamper our safety services?
Smith: I think that any other development that takes place out there will require
the waterline to be extended from Locust Grove to connect at Franklin Road or
near Franklin. I believe there is a developer at the southwest corner of Franklin
Road and Locust Grove that's been approved. I don't know where it's in the
construction process, but that connection would be made. That would slightly
increase the pressures in this subdivision. Not materially, but it would provide a
more reliable flow because it would be a looped line then serving subdivision.
We don't expect that it will impact the fire-flow requirements.
deWeerd: Thanks.
Corrie: Any other questions of staff? Shari?
O'Niell: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, my name is Derek O'Niell, 101
North 9th, Suite 300. I'm here representing Woodbridge, LLC. I guess maybe
we'll start with the water since that seems to be the issue. I want to make sure
you have the letter we wrote today with the attachment "Au. I guess we're
suggesting the changes to the original staff report to the final plat be modified by
these conditions. I heard both Gary and Shari say they're acceptable to these
conditions. So we would ask that to do that. In regards to the water, I could talk
to you for a long time. I think Gary did a very good job explaining it. The first
time we were aware that this would be an issue was about three weeks ago, and
you tabled it the last hearing we had for us to work with Gary and to review the
matter a little further. I want to reiterate that we think it is an issue, and we're
working with Gary, and we think we have an acceptable solution. That is to put
in the pressure-reducing station now so that when it's needed in the future the
system will be able to be hooked up - we're not sure it's necessary immediately.
It is necessary in the future. We think we'll have the system in so that it will be
connected and work. As Magic View grows, and you all know it is growing, we're
going to have to come down Magic View, and at a point, it will connect and we'll
take it and anticipate that happening, we'll take our water and run it into theirs.
So I think there is a solution. We're not trying to be a problem. We're trying to
help and work with Gary to provide a solution. I want to reiterate it does meet the
state's water requirements. We're aware of it. We've suggested in our condition
Meridian City Council specia(' ting
May 231 2000 '.
Page 33
I~
(
that we put in our conditions, CC & Rs, the fact that we will disclose the water
system as planned so that people are aware of it. We'll put it in the document we
call "The Facts You Need to Know" so that when people move into homes, the
documents that they sign (inaudible). They'll still probably call Gary, but Gary
can refer them to that document and tell them that they signed that and they
knew that when purchasing their home. So we're taking it very seriously as well.
So that's my answer to the water issue. I think a lot of work has been done in the
last three weeks; not just for our project, but for that general area. It's something
the City's got to look at. It's not just our project. There are other projects, a
number of projects that are near us that are going to have an issue with the water
eventually. In terms of the street name, I think Shari did a great job of (inaudible)
our concerns. We did write a letter to Shari and hopefully you have that. This is
a substantial project, and we think the main street is appropriately named
Woodbridge Drive. The fact that there is a private lane in Boise that is private, not
public, located in a portion of town that is never going to be extended, there is a
bluff on one side of it and another portion of town that's already developed. So
the chances of that being extended are very, very - it's not going to happen. Has
very few addresses on it and the fact that the Fire Chief and the Police Chief
have said that they can live with it I think is very important. We think it's
important for the community to connect the name with the street. So we're
asking that you make that decision. I guess in closing I would ask that you
approve the final plat with the modifications attached as Exhibit A in our June 6th
letter. I'll answer any questions you have.

with their application and that it had been tabled and that they were expected to
be here. Those types of issues, I guess.

Berg: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, I know their original letter requested
an indefinite period of time from John Moody, L.B. Industries. I can't answer for
sure if my staff or Shari's staff has contacted them directly. Originally, they were
contacted, and I guess that was the May meeting that their contact was they
were running some changes with the landscaping requirements that the P & Z
had made. I can't tell you if I had any response with that.
Corrie: Ms. Stiles, same question.
Stiles: It's been some time since we've contacted them since it was public prior
to that May 7th request. I'd hate to see them start all over again on this. Can
there - I know there was a concern on landscaping along that future driveway or
the driveway that is there now. I didn't-
deWeerd: There wasn't any concern. It was just a question. You know, 1-
Corrie: Mrs. deWeerd, you'd like to (inaudible) -
deWeerd: Sorry, Mr. Mayor, but, you know, I keep hearing this that City Council
asked them to put in landscaping. We didn't. Two questions were asked and the
applicant wasn't here. Has not responded, and we've never had an opportunity
to even ask the question. So I agree with Councilman Anderson. I hate to deny
this before the applicant is even seen in our room here. I would be opposed to
this motion.
Bird: What do you want to do? Keep tabling it every two weeks?
McCandless: Mr. Mayor, in the letter written on May 15\ they asked for an
indefin ite postponement, and they said that they were gathering information that
would make an impact on their application once - can't remember exactly what it
said - they're in the process of negotiating the purchase of the property with the
owners and feel this would make a huge impact on our application. So they
asked for an indefinite time. If we deny it now, they'd have to go through the
whole thing again, I.think.
Bird: How long are you going to keep (inaudible) it out?
Anderson: Mr. Anderson, I have a very simple solution. Why doesn't somebody
pick up the phone and call them and tell them where we're at and ask them what
they'd like to do with their application? Then we would have information that we
could work on to say that we're either going to deny it, table it or approve it or
what we're going to do. I would ask that we have staff do that between now and
the next Council meeting.
Corrie: We had a motion before the floor. Let's see where that one goes. Then
we can do that if we need.

Corrie: Motion to deny has been overruled. Make another motion, Mr. Bird?
Well, we've got to -
Bird: Do whatever we want. Do you want to pass it or table it?
deWeerd: Well, it's a closed public hearing. I would like to instruct Shari's office
to please call the applicant and have an answer by June 20th which I will move to
table this until June 20th. We closed the public hearing. We'll have to open it
then, right?
Corrie: You can't do that because you have to notify again.
deWeerd: Okay. Mr. Mayor, I changed my mind. I'd like to move to open the
public hearing.
Anderson: Continue it.
deWeerd: I would like to open it first.
Bird: Re-open the public hearing on this?
deWeerd: Yes.
Anderson: Second.
Corrie: Okay. Motion - do I hear a second on that to open the public hearing
again? Re-open it? Let me get this to you right now. If we open the public
hearing again, and we continue it to table it to have a public hearing, we can do
that. We can direct staff to call them. The next meeting, it will be a continued

rescinding that they don't want to be annexed or zoned. So that public hearing
on 15 and 16 is going to be removed with the consent of the Council because of
the letter of resignation by the application. So there won't be anymore on that

owner is the one that has withdrawn their consent on the annexation.

Corrie: We'll open the public hearings on Items No.9, 1 0, 11, 12, 13 and 14. All
testimony can be done at the same time if you want. You will and can address
anyone of those that you wish at that time. The applicant will have five minutes
if they want to do each one of those, and if you want to do any testimony on any
of the others, you'll have three minutes for each one of those. Sounds confusing,
and 1'1( go through it with you as we get up here. So at this time I'm going to
open the public hearing on the request for the annexation and zoning of
Resolution Business Park, the rezone of the 37.64 acres from R-4 to L-O zone.
The Conditional Use Permit for proposed planned commercial development
consisting of multi-family, commercial, office and LOS seminary, and also the
request for preliminary plat of the 17 building lots in the Resolution Business
Park. Request for a Conditional Use Permit for an ice arena and Conditional Use
Permit for 200-unit luxury apartments by Mr. Voigt. So at this time I'll open the
public hearing and have staff comments first.
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, I am going to address these in order just to kind
of clarify where we're at. The first public hearing, Item No.9, is a request for
annexation and zoning to C-G of 16.119 acres. That would be the property right
here. It is not currently in the City limits. They are proposing a mixture of office,
daycare and some retail on this corner. The applicant's representative is aware
of our request that they come in later for a Conditional Use Permit for a planned
development as they did not have the details of that finalized. They haven't
submitted elevations of these buildings, and they would come back in at a later
date. They are requesting the annexation and zoning to C-G. Item No. 1 0 is a
request for rezoning of 37.64 acres. Some of you may recall that this formerly
was a 97 -acre subdivision known as Sundance Subdivision. It was approved by
the City Council some time ago. Since that time, some changes in the area, the
Cesco, John Deere facility coming in here, the approval of the Freightliner facility.
Directly across the street led the owner of the property to rethink his development
options, and he has since sold 55 acres of this property to the Meridian Joint
School District for a high-school site leaving this remainder as part of his request
now for a rezone to L-O. Within the L-O, they have proposed under public
hearing under Item No. 11 the Commercial Development with the multi-family
apartments, 200 units, some commercial office and an LOS seminary be located
in an L-Q and C-G zones. Under public hearing Item 12, they had asked for a
preliminary plat approval. In this configuration, they are requesting platting
approval for 17 building lots and 2 other lots. Under item 13, they're requesting
the ice arena that wold be located on this lot within this proposed subdivision.
They have presented elevations and detailed plans of that facility. Item 14 would
be the 200-unit apartment complex. That would be located in this area here.
They have provided all the information required for a planned development
including elevations of the buildings. So although many of the opponents and
also the proponents of this development may address all of their comments at
one time, they are separate issues that would need to have separate Findings on
them. I just wanted to make that clear.

Corrie: We'll try to make it less confusing for them when they get up here and
what they want to talk about. Later they can, too. Okay. The developer's
representative. Now, Becky, if this gets - you don't want to do it all at once, you
can do it each time and we'll have the comments of the public at once. Make
their comment on the annexation and zoning and separate that if they want it as
well. I don't know whether you're having some difficulty back there.
Bowcutt: I guess at the Planning and Zoning Commission, we did on the
annexation and rezones, obviously, need to go into a lot of detail. I don't want to
be repetitive this late in the hour. But there are issues with each application that
should be addressed, and I think if we try to lump them all in - it's going to get
confusing for the Council. I prefer to take them individually. Like I said, I'll take
the least amount of time possible. Becky Bowcutt, 11283 West Hickorydale,
Boise. I'm representing the applicant in this matter. The first application, as
Shari indicated, is the application for annexation and rezone of that corner parcel.
As you recall, we came before you here six, eight, ten months ago with the
Comprehensive Plan change. We asked that this be designated mixed-planned
use development where all the particular uses will require conditional use
approval by the City. We provided a concept plan for that corner parcel. We do
not have any particular users at this time. So the best of our ability, consulting
with an architect, we came up with this particular configuration. We don't
anticipate that happening until we see an overpass go through. This is obviously
a three-leg-type intersection. You don't typically see it in retail users of any
substantial size until you've got more traffic than is out in this vicinity at this time.
So this is down the road. It's not something that we anticipate being constructed
at this time. We requested a C-G zoning designation. Your staff recommended
a neighborhood commercial, and our response to the staff, we indicated that
neighborhood commercial would be acceptable. I guess staff had some
concerns allows some pretty heavy commercial uses as we have found across
the street with the Freightliner, Cesco, I think the contractor's yard. In this vicinity
since this property is at a major two arterials, Overland and Locust Grove, and in
considering that we have the C-G zone across the north side of Overland, this is
an appropriate use for the property. Do you have any questions?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Let's see if the public has something that they want to say on that. Then
we'll go to the next one and kind of keep this is some kind of order. Okay. This is
a public hearing. Is there anyone who would like to issue testimony on the
request for annexation and zoning right now? Okay.
Bertell: Actually, I would like permission - my name is Marion Bertell, I live at
2534 South Velvet Falls Way, Salmon Rapids Subdivision, Meridian. I would like
my statement to address all of Items 9 through 14, and I'll give a copy of it to Mr.
Berg. At this time, I would like to reiterate to the members of the Council what
Meridian City Council speci{"

my husband has stated to the Planning Commission at the last meeting. We
have 725 signatures from the residents of Salmon Rapids Subdivision, Raven
Hills Subdivision, Los Alamitos Subdivision, Sportsman's Pointe Subdivision,
Hunts Bluff Subdivision, and Meridian Greens Subdivision all respectfully asking
the City Council to at least delay approval of the development proposed for
Locust Grove and Overland Road area until such time that Overland Road is
widened to five lanes. Those who have signed the petitions are frustrated over
having to drive the already heavily traveled traffic road on a daily basis and agree
with the Ada County Highway impact analysis that a development such as this
one 'before the City Council tonight would only intensify and exacerbate an
already existing major traffic problem. My husband parked at the intersection of
Locust Grove and Overland Roads on March 23rd from three p.m. until six p.m.
and counted 3,137 vehicles using the intersection of Overland and Locust Grove.
This coincides with the Ada County Highway District's Findings of 11 ,422 vehicle
trips per day on Overland Road. Please bear in mind this is already existing
traffic. During that three-hour period, he also saw one rear-end accident and one
near accident. As the Ada County Highway District pointed out in its report, the
traffic on Overland Road and Locust Grove will easily double and more than
likely triple as a result of this development. That's the entire development of all
of the proposed. We as residents of the six existing subdivisions directly
impacted by this development and a seventh subdivision which is just being
developed are especially concerned since, one, it appears that Ada County
Highway District has no plans to widen Overland Road until 2004; number two,
no plans to widen Locust Grove south of Overland until way beyond 2005;
number three, no plans to even install a traffic light at the intersection of Overland
Road and Locust Grove Road until 2004 or until, quote, wanted. The developer
hopes to start the major ice hockey and sports arena before the end of this year.
The Meridian School District, pending bond approval, could open the new high
school by the fall of 2002. Additionally, office, retail and residential phases of the
development will be completed probably well before 2005. We are not opposed
to development, just to the development prior to widening Overland and Locust
Grove Roads. Prior to the beginning of heavy construction vehicles traveling the
roads, tying up traffic or lane restrictions. We need to consider the need for
emergency vehicle traversing Overland and Locust Grove Roads to access
homes in the area or accidents on Overland which there are many. It would be
difficult at best as there is no place for traffic to move over out of the way. We
have very little shoulder there. We ask that Overland and Locust Grove not
become another fiasco like the Curtis Road extension. We respectfully request
that you consider the opinion of the 725 residents of Meridian who signed the
petitions as well as all of us who live near this development. We ask that the City
Council of Meridian plan wisely, plan carefully, put the horse before the cart, not
wait until the mother and father are called by the coroner to identify their child's
body on the road. Please take action to alleviate traffic and pedestrian problems
and potential hazards prior to approval of this project which will create and
intensify the already-existing problems. Thank you. I have one further personal
comment I'd like to make that is apart from the petition, and I don't know if it's

even legal or it can be done. I would like to recommend also when this is
developed after the roads are widened that the development between Locust
Grove and Eagle Road south of Overland that there be a citizens committee with
three people from the subdivisions to work with Brad Hawkins-Clark regarding
bike paths, the park that is projected, access to the park from Locust Grove and
Eagle Roads be a bike path and landscape berms. Also, in the Planning and
Zoning hearing regarding the ice arena and the high school, I believe there is a
serious problem there because there is one ingress and egress road that comes
down to the ice arena into the high school, a 600-foot road. There is no
emergency access coming from Locust Grove or any major arterial. The only
roads that could even possibly come in there unless one is designated and built
in this projection, they would have to be sending fire trucks or EMTs through
subdivision where children sometimes play in streets. This is not a safe
condition. You need to have emergency access included somewhere like from
Locust Grove into the high school and the ice arena. It's just not logical as it
stands now. I thank you for your time, and I will give you a copy of my original
comments and the petition. I also have a fax sheet if you like it where my
husband got the (inaudible).
Corrie: And do you wish to have your testimony included in all?
Bertell: Yes. Would you please include my testimony on each of the items?
Thank you very much.
Corrie: Is there anyone else that would like to issue testimony on the annexation
and zoning that's different that will be heard?
Southerland: Mr. Mayor, Council, my name is Ted Southerland, 2365 East Three
Bars, Meridian, Idaho. What I have to say is probably going to be an echo of
what I said the last time that I was here and everybody except the Mayor was
lucky enough to have not been here the last time. I lived in this area for two and-
a-half years, watched a number of homes in that section that I live in (inaudible)
triple, and I can see us double in the next 12 months. It's that whole mile section
of Overland, Victory, Locust Grove and Eagle, there's going to be nothing but
houses, and you're going to add 200 more facing Overland. I signed the petition
- (inaudible) petition should have included adequate intersection at Meridian and
Overland, and it should have included an overpass over Locust Grove. Until we
get those two things - five-lane road going down Overland isn't going to do us
any good at all (inaudible). You're still going to have a problem with cars backing
up on the Meridian highway on Meridian Road and Meridian-Kuna Road. You're
going to have people coming up on Locust Grove and have them to get into that
mess. If you will consider our part of town Meridian - I don't. I told you last time
that I do not consider -

Southerland: -- Meridian at this point. We don't have anybody on the City
Council from that part of town. We don't have any access to this part of town to
where I live. I can't make a left turn off of Locust Grove onto Overland without
endangering myself half the time, so I don't go that way. I go right. Rather than
making a left turn I go down to Five Mile and do my shopping down there. I have
no reason to come to Meridian. I have no access to get here. If you want to
consider us part of your city, you're going to have to make yourselves, make
some streets - we are living on country roads right now. That's all they are.
Two-lane, country roads with country intersections, and you're expecting us
enjoy having 200 houses between us and your city. I would think - (inaudible).
But this is just idiotic in my estimation. If I were to be a part of the City Council,
you turned one subdivision down one time down. I was here one other time and
you voted it down. To vote this through right now would totally destroy me. I've
got well property - (inaudible) turn down when you turned the last one down. I
have absolutely no problem with the commercial use that's going in there. My
wife dreams of having an ice skating rink so she can go ice skating. She could
have been, very easily, been an Olympic ice skater with the proper money back
when she was a little bit younger. That's going to be industrial, commercial
zoning through - I have no problem with this. The problem that I have and the
problem (inaudible) has is the streets. If we can't get from our house the way we
have to go, you've destroyed a whole bunch of attitude (inaudible). Thank you.
Corrie: Anyone else as far as the annexation and zoning is concerned?
Waite: Bruce Waite, I'm a resident of Meridian. 1753 South Labrador Place,
Sportsman Pointe Subdivision, Phase V, Meridian, Idaho. I addressed the City
Council a year ago. There are two new faces on it when the Sundance
Apartment Complex was being planned on the north side of Overland west of
Locust Grove, and there was quite a bit of discussion at that time on the traffic
problems of that one small apartment complex would cause on Overland Road,
and the City Council at that time denied the rezoning and the Conditional Use
Permit based on the perceived or anticipated traffic problems. This is ten-fold
times worse than that. At the time, the City Council also discussed no more
commercial or no more retail development on Overland Road until the problems
were fixed. So I guess I would like to restate that from your actions a year ago.
Just a couple of questions for you, I'd like to know how this project is going to
affect my home value as we have heard previously. The traffic problems tie
(inaudible) sell my home in the future and potential folks come to look at it and
they see the disaster of the road problem, my home value's down the tubes.
There's a need for no more business parks. If you drive down Overland to Maple
Grove, down Emerald, they have a zillion half-completed business parks. How
many more do we need? It's just not compatible to subdivisions. Thank you.

Shepherd: My name is Dave Shepherd, and I live next to Bruce here at 1791
South Labrador Place. I'd like to show you what happens to me on the map
here. This is my house right here. Straight up the street (inaudible). So you can
see what that's going to do to me. Some of us are brand new in this town,
moved here from Seattle about a year and-a-half ago. This gentleman just came
in from Portland. He wasn't aware of anything. We have no impact statements
to tell us what's going on. That's alii have to say (inaudible).
Shipley: John Shipley, 2770 South Locust Grove Road. Resident there for 28
years. I've watched a lot of growth in our valley. I think some of the things that
are proposed here are going to be a real positive thing for the community. But
the impact of the traffic and everything needs to be looked at. If there's no law
stating that we can't build this stuff before the roads are appropriate, there should
be a law. If there's not common sense between you folks stating that you know
there's a problem and we need to hold it up until ACHD corrects the problem, I
understand that the subdivider's going to put up a good share of the money for
their road improvement. I don't think five lanes is even close to enough. I spent
over an hour the other night coming from Wal-Mart up Overland Road the other
night to make a left turn onto Locust Grove and watched as two and three traffic
lights changed each time. It was five o'clock, and I had made it with the mistake
of going over to Wal-Mart during the traffic time. I don't shop in Meridian
anymore. I go to Kuna. Kuna is about 15 minutes drive, and there's no hassle.
The prices are the same out there. I come to Meridian, and it's quite evident the
main street of Meridian - beautify it instead of making extra lanes there, they got
little cul-de-sac places for cars to park. They made it pretty instead of practical.
It goes on and on. Everybody can be critical about anything. Just look at it. But
if you know there's a problem ahead of time, don't cause it to get worse. Fix it
before the problem gets any worse. That's what I'm asking.
White: My name is Lisa White, and I just moved here from Jackson, Wyoming. I
live at 2512 Meadowwood Court, and I'm not against widening the roads; I think
that's good. But like she said, it might take - you guys (inaudible), but by the
time you wait that long, something smaller that won't cause as much traffic would
go in there, and there would be no place for the ice rink. I'm pretty sure that the
other rinks excluding the Idaho Ice Rink, but they're not for public use. They're
all hockey and based upon the Steelheads. Driving all the way out to the rink
every morning takes a long time and it's, like, really tiring to go all the way out
there. An ice rink and all the other little businesses aren't going to bring so much
traffic that it's going to cause that big of a problem because if you drive Fairview,
that's only, like, two lanes, and there are businesses all over it. No matter where
you go there's going to be traffic. NO matter where you go things are going to
grow and get bigger whether it'd be a Wal-Mart, an ice rink or something like that.
I think that you should make the roads wider, but I think that should happen in
time instead of waiting so long (inaudible) until something else is proposed in this
building site. Thank you.

Gale: Mayor Corrie and City Council members, I'm Norma Gale, and I reside at
299 East Spinosa Drive in Meridian. I would be very much in favor of the ice
arena. It's needed by the youth of our community, and selfishly, I know it would
help my grandchildren who go out to Ice World out by the outlet mall and also
downtown Boise. So I would think it'd be wonderful to have this facility in
Meridian. I realize the problem with traffic, but I think historically the Ada County
Highway District has responded after development when they see it is indeed
going to take place, and I assume that the developer would help with the costs of
the road. So I ask that you would approve the Resolution Business Park. Thank
you.
Corrie: Anyone else?
Barren: Good evening, my name is Michelle Barren, and I reside at 2512 East
Meadowwood Court in Meridian. I'm the mother of the daughter who just came
up here to speak. We just, as she said, moved here from Jackson Hole,
Wyoming, where development there is a lot harder than here. I am in agreement
for the ice rink being built. She is an ice skater as well as I have two children
who are hockey players. The commute here is much longer than what we used
to make, and it's very hard when you have two full-time parents that are working
to be able to also get your children to their activities whereas with my children,
it's hockey and ice skating. They've been doing it for many years, and I would
hate for them to just discontinue that because with working where we have to
work, any families - both parents have to work to bring in an income, and I hate
to do that because of my schedule and how far the rink is right now going to the
Idaho Ice World. I can understand the situation with the traffic, but I see that
everywhere I go now. I see that on Franklin Road. I see it in other areas, and as
I would hope that it eventually would take action (inaudible) but I'd hate to see
this delayed any longer for the children of the community here in Meridian. I do
notice that they do need some more things here in Meridian for the children, and
it's very good to have something for the children. The needs, the sport - they
need to be involved so that they stay out of trouble. I think it's a big reason why
- my daughter hasn't been in as much trouble as she probably could have if she
didn't have this to fall back on and keep her attention. So I would like to see this
approved that they can at least get working on the developments over there and
hopefully the situation with the roads will come when it's needed. Thank you.
Corrie: Thank you. Anyone else at this time? Okay. Becky.
Bowcutt: I'd like to remind you that this particular application just involves that
corner for the annexation and the rezone to that neighborhood commercial. As I
stated before, all those uses are in concept only. We would have to come back
before you, go back through the Ada County Highway District, public notice
would be sent again for any specific uses. So although we're here asking for
annexation and zoning and a conceptual approval, we do not have any particular
user on this southeast corner. So really, technically, we don't have anything

Bowcutt: On the corner? There's nothing scheduled at this time or has even
been really discussed in any detail. We were thinking five years. Probably five
years out.
deWeerd: Thank you.
Corrie: Okay. Do you want to address the request for Conditional Use Permit for
proposed planned commercial development? That's part of that. Okay. How
about the preliminary plat on the building lots and 2 other lots on 1 07.5 acres?
Do you have anything - actually on No. 12. Kind of-
Bowcutt: Didn't you skip the rezone?
Corrie: Did I? Well, that's sorry. That's a planned commercial development.
(inaudible) Item 11. That's right.
Bowcutt: The remainder of the property there that is cross-hatched is currently
zoned R-4. It's annexed into the City. When that property was zoned and
annexed, there was a preliminary plat as Shari indicated called Sundance
Subdivision. It was all single-family dwelling lots. The Meridian School District
approached the applicant and asked if they would be willing to sell 55 acres of
this parcel for a future high school. They were in dire need of a site south of the
freeway. They had monies that needed to be spent within a certain period of
time. They had another site that they thought they were going to close, and it fell
through at the last moment. My client agreed to sell that to him, but one of the
things that we discussed when we met with the School District was they wanted
our assurance that we would not put any single-family dwellings north of that
school. We do not want to create another Borah High School situation where we
have substantial cut-through traffic through single-family neighborhoods. They
said office, multi-family, some limited retail, any uses like that would be
acceptable. And we agreed. When the Council zoned the property north across
Overland to C-G for the Freightliner, I came before this body and testified that it
would be difficult to put single-family across the street from that type of intensive
commercial use. That we would probably have to change the use. At that time,
the designation on the Camp Plan was single-family residential. As I stated
before, we came back through and asked for mixed-planned use development,
and that was granted. We chose the L-Q zone because it's kind of a nice
umbrella zone, and with the planned commercial development, it would allow
different uses within that L-O. But it was not intensive as, say, the C-G. The

School District has looked at our site plan. We've discussed our collector
roadway system to them. As you may recall, Mr. Voigt and some of the other
property owners in the area have spent a lot of money getting the sewer across
the freeway. They worked with the City in conjunction with boring water and
taking water north and taking sewer south. Sewer has been extended up to
Overland over here on the corner. Water has been extended down and across
the freeway so those facilities are available. As far as the roadway system, the
way Ada County Highway District works is these roads are paid for in arrears
through impact fees. That's how we do it. We have worked closely with the
Highway District. We went before the Commission and talked in depth about
what we'd like to see out there. They've got Overland Road targeted for five
lanes in 2004; however, if the bond issues pass this fall, the School District
indicates they'll begin construction Spring 2001 and have the high school
occupied by the Fall 2002. So we urge the Highway District Commissioners to
accelerate their plan and rebuild that to five lanes since that high school will most
likely be coming on line within a couple of years. The other thing we brought up
with them, they have set forth the requirements for us to build a third lane all
along Overland Road to trust fund for 75 percent of a signal at the collector
roadway which will come out of the high school site. To trust fund for 25 percent
of the signal at the intersection of Locust Grove and Overland. Then install,
obviously, sidewalks along Overland and Locust Grove. The point that I made
before that Commission was - I'd hate to spend a considerable amount of money
on that roadway if in 12 or 18 months they're going to come in and tear it out and
build the five lanes. If the monies are going to be spent, let's do it right. So
we've been working closely with them and going over ideas. Now the problem
that arises is that we have impact fee money. They said they've got - I think
their staff member indicated a million dollars that they can allocate to the
roadway, but they've got to find matching funds within the budget because they
can't rebuild the existing lanes with impact fee money. So they have to re-budget
to accelerate that building of Overland Road. But if need be, we will build the
third lane because that is the added capacity that would be necessary, and when
they look at our projects, they look at it from the worst-case scenario, the
maximum build-out, and this is a phased project. I think I stated in the
application the first one to come on line would be the ice arena. They would like
to begin construction this year if at all possible. They want to be located next to
that high school. They think it's an appropriate area. They like the Meridian
area. Easy access to the interchange at Eagle Road. The apartments would like
to begin construction of their first phase in Spring of 2001. Other than that, the
only other user we have is the LOS Seminary. They'll have to come back before
you with a Conditional Use Permit application. So as far as the first phasing, it's
quite limited. But the commercial alone will generate, according to Ada County
Highway District, a million dollars in impact fees just with the commercial on the
corner. Not including any of the commercial or the office or apartments on the
other side. We feel we've got a really good project. We want to get that collector
roadway. We've got to get the sewer and the water down to the school site, and
we feel this will compliment the City. We also feel it will provide necessary

(
services out to this suburban area, and if you can capture some of these trips,
then we decrease the number of trips on the interstate as they go to Ice World.
On all the other roadway systems, the further they've got to travel to have
necessary services, then the more impact we have on our transportation system.
So if we can provide some of these neighborhood commercial services out in the
suburban areas, we will cut down on the traffic. We feel this is a good project.
We would hope that you would support it, and we think the L-Q zone is
appropriate.
Corrie: Okay. Any questions at this point? Thank you, Becky.
Shepherd: Dave Shepherd, 1791 South Labrador. We're wondering about the
impact in our area and who cares about us. We're putting our names on paper.
We'll send them out here, but we're not getting any recognition. This is going to
really affect us. It's five years down the line for that piece of property. Then
come back in five years when you've got something on paper. You know, I'll look
up the street (inaudible) just like I'm looking at you, and I have to see what's up
there. It affects my property rights as well as everybody else. So we need a fair
shake.
Corrie: Any new testimony, please. If you have been up here before, you've
already had your say, and if you're going to say it again, we don't want to hear it
because you're already on the record with that testimony. If you've got
something new that you want to add on this part of it, you're welcome to come
up.
Bertell: I just wanted to clarify one thing that I was concerned about. I'm sorry -
Marion Bertell, 2534 South Velvet Falls Way, Meridian. On the lower part of site
A, there is no provision, the only ingress and egress road is that one road that
comes down to the high school site and to the ice arena site. A 600-foot road. If
there is an event at the ice arena that lets out for the evening and, say, a
basketball game lets out at the high school, and someone is hurt in there, and
that road is blocked with traffic leaving, there is no provision for an emergency
access road for a vehicle to get in there to help someone that's hurt. I truly feel
that on Site A at the lower end there should be an ingress and egress emergency
road to facilitate help for people that might be hurt when they can't get in there
because of traffic. Thank you.
Barren: My name is Michelle Barren, 2512 Meadowwood Court. I wanted to just
add in regards to the high school that I was very shocked when I moved here to
find out that my daughter's high school was Eagle High because our nearest
crossroad is Eagle and Fairview. Eagle High is farther than Centennial High; it is
farther than Meridian High for her. The reason I was told this was the other two
school districts are overcrowded. So she does have to travel much farther. I
hope she gets her driver's license this year, and that's going to be farther for her
to drive. I'm sure being a new driver, too, I would prefer she went to the other

Page 50
school as well to be closer as well as the ice rink being closer to her. It'll be a
shorter distance for her. In regards to the roads, Ada County coming in and
widening the roads, if - what better way to get them in there to start widening the
roads than to start building some businesses down there, and then maybe they
will get in there much quicker, then if we don't, they probably will push it back and
take care of some other roads. This will be a good way to get them in to start
building the roads if we start building down there.
Corrie: Thank you. Anyone else here on the Item No. 11, the L-O and C-G
zones? Okay. Becky, on the preliminary plat, 17 building lots and 2 other lots on
1 07 acres; do you want to address that now? We're on 11 now, sorry. Item 11.
I'm one step ahead of you. Rezone - Sorry. We're on 11 now. Oh, you're done
with 11 now? So we're on 12.
Bowcutt: Becky Bowcutt, 11283 West Hickorydale, Boise. This is the
subdivision plat which we have submitted as one of the applications with this
property. The first phase of this subdivision will encompass this area here. This
is not part of the first phase. Obviously, we wouldn't plat that at this time until we
know what's going to happen down the road. The roadway network system
street you see here is a big collector roadway. This will be a signalized
intersection here. Ada County Highway District has indicated that they would not
allow this high school to go in there without that light. The School District has
assured me that they wouldn't go in there without that light. One of the things
that's going to happen is you're going to have these peak hours for the high
school. The District likes the fact that they'll be platooning these cars right here,
and then they'll have the signalized left-hand turn. The advantage of putting a
signal here is it causes the cars to platoon at this point here heading west which
then allows breaks in the traffic for this particular intersection to make a left-hand
turn at Locust Grove. Locust Grove at this time is a level of service A. Overland
Road is a level of service 0 at this time. This roadway network here, there were
comments about the ice arena which will be located on this Lot 2, Block 1, here
that this is the only access. That is not correct. This is a public street. It's built
to collector standards. This is a public street stubbed over to the east. That will
be built to collector standards also. This is a little, what we call, round-about here
with landscaping in the middle. We have one, two, three, four accesses on
Overland in alignment with the access points to the north of Overland, and then
we have two access points on Locust Grove and the Highway District made this
align with Peacock, and then they made us offset from the new LDS church's
driveway here. So we did have to change our approaches at this location. When
I met with your staff, they indicated that they thought it would be preferable that
the School District lot be platted at this part of our application. The reason being
is at one time this was all one parcel. If you recall, the City of Meridian owns this
4.2 acres in the corner, so there was a division that took place when this property
was - when I think the subdivision was approved, the residential, then the School
District purchased this, and then an easement was granted for access out to
Overland. So staff said basically there's been multiple divisions, and we want
.r..-

(
that included. So that is why we have included the School District lot. They are
not part of the planned-unit development. They are only part of the plat. That's
what they consented to. We have to take sewer and water, extend it down
Overland and down this collector roadway to get to the school site and
(inaudible) power. That's where their primary access will be. There is a stub
street here at Raven Hills. There's a stub street here at Los Alamitos. Now,
obviously, those are located at the time when it was anticipated when there was
a subdivision, residential subdivision, that was going to take place here, and
these matched up with that layout. I talked with the School District's architect
today. They only have what they call a rough sketch of their site plan, and would
not even give me a copy of their rough sketch because the School Board has not
endorsed it, nor have they put it out for public comment. Within 30 days they feel
they would have more detailed information. At this time it's conceptual, bubble-
concept only. So as far as the primary access to the school, it will be here. The
Highway District has indicated that these roadways would not be used for
vehicular access with the school. They would be used only for emergency-
vehicle access to provide secondary means in the event that there was blockage
here. So we do have multiple points of access if we - when they get their site
plans solidified, then we'll be able to see how they're going to be able to make
these interconnections at this time. I can't tell you. But Mr. Carberry and the
School District has received copies of our site plan and our plat. We work with
them all through this process. There are a couple things I need to go through on
the conditions. As you know, it states on the staff report, unless expressly
modified by the Council, these conditions shall apply. Under the preliminary plat
requirements, there is Item A. We would like to have our landscaped lots along
our perimeter to be in easements versus separate lots. I believe staff's comment
was they could live with that as long as we did provide them with CC & Rs that
set forth responsibility of maintenance by the Association and not by each
individual lot owner so that you would have consistency in landscaping and
maintenance. Item 10 under the preliminary plat, staff indicated that they would
like the western boundary which would be the multi-family parcel not to have a
fence. The applicants for the multi-family have stated that they would like to
have a fence for security purposes especially if this were to develop retail or
office in the future. Then that would give them some privacy, and, obviously,
some buffer from those uses there. So our preference would be to allow some
type of fencing along this Hunter Lateral. The staff has asked that we pipe the
Hunter Lateral. First we thought about trying to leave it open. We have agreed
to pipe it. We are in agreement there. Item 13 deals with this roadway here. We
gave it a name, the technician put a name on it. Staff thought that would be like
a private road. It's just an access drive. Just the same that we have through this
parcel here for access behind this building. This is a retail building so they'll
have some access here. So we did not intend for that to be a private road;
therefore, requiring curb, gutter and sidewalk built to ACHD standards. It's just
an access, kind of alleyway. So we want to make sure that that is on the record.
Now, staff has put a note on here stating that the final plat must be required prior
to the issuance of any building permits or Certificates of Zoning Compliance.

With the high school going in, I'm not sure how that's going to impact them.
Obviously, if we were able to process the construction plans and the plat in a
timely fashion, hopefully it wouldn't impact them. But if they've got a schedule
and the plat's not recorded, I do see some problems arising. So I don't know if
the Council has any ideas or staff has any ideas. But that was one concern that
we did have. Other than that, that's alii have under preliminary plat comments.
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor, Becky, why in your planning on this plat do you not have
emergency access over to the west from Site Band C through Site A?
Bowcutt: We - the Planning and Zoning Commission asked us to make some
interconnection between Site A and Site B since this parcel was long and large,
spanning one-half mile, we broke it up into A, Band es. This is 8 here, I believe.
We provided access out this direction into this traffic circle here. That would
obviously eliminate some of the trips out on the exterior roadways for the
residents of the multi-family area to come into this retail area. Then there's
interconnections between the multi-family and Site C. They have an approach
there on the collector roadway. It's difficult to see on that drawing. It's easier to
see here. So there's an access to the multi-family off of the collector. They've
also got an independent access here at Overland Road. I believe that is in
alignment with Cesco. Then this is where we're making that interconnection
here. Now, one of the things that we talked about with the Commission was how
to keep the high-school kids from finding these other routes out of the site. We
want to concentrate the most there at these signals. One of the things that the
Commission talked about was possibly some type of a combination keypad gate
at these locations here to keep kids from possibly wanting to wind their way
through. There's also speed bumps which the Fire Departments don't like.
deWeerd: Has the Fire Department seen that? Can they maneuver that little
circle there? The traffic circle?
Bowcutt: That would be designed to meet their standards as far as the ratings,
yes. It would have to meet all Uniform Fire Standards. All of the radiuses within
the complex would have to meet their standards so that you can easily
maneuver a fire truck around any medians or any parking areas. Now, in my
past discussions with Mr. Bowers, he's indicated that if you were to gate
something that he would want to the opticom gates. So I did indicate to the
applicant that that would be a requirement of the Fire Department if the Council
allowed this to be gated.
Corrie: Okay. Public testimony on that one? Okay.
Waite: Again, my name is Bruce Waite, 1753 South Labrador Place. I've got a
couple of comments. One of them specifically. It seems like there are a lot of
pretty pictures and a lot of sweet-talk about this development providing a lot of
access and all the things for the high school. I would like to remind you that that
Meridian City Council Specia( ':ing

Page 53
(
bond has not been developed. It's not been put to a vote. We don't know if the
high school is eventually going in there or not. There's a lot of basis for this
development, a lot of sweet-talk based on access and providing things for the
high school. That's a whole separate issue. The community and especially the
residents in that area need to address that when that bond issue comes up. I
would hope that doesn't influence you (inaudible) project. The second item on
Site A, having an access out on Locust Grove directly across from the street
where I come out on Locust Grove, if any of you live on Maple Grove and
Overland, there's a similar short cut. Any time there is a short cut around a
stoplight, there's a tremendous amount of traffic that uses those short cuts
around stoplights. Originally, when some of us went to Planning and Zoning,
there were to be no accesses out from the western Site A on Locust Grove. I
think that would create a fiasco in itself. I do want to remind you that the school
bond has not been voted on. Don't let that influence you on how you vote on
this.
Southerland: Ted Southerland, 2365 East Three Bars. I don't know, you
probably don't know if the LOS Church is already well into construction on that
building out there. I don't know if they've got easements or approvals or
whatever the comment was made, but they would have to do something before
they got done. The other thing is if you read the Boise paper today, APA is
talking very seriously about some work cutting down on some road construction
in Ada and Canyon County, and I think that should be taken into consideration in
your decision tonight, also. There is no way in the world that if they're going to
shut down part of the construction on the Flying WYE that they're going to come
out and do anything on Overland Road.
Corrie: That's a whole different thing. Okay. Anybody else?
Southerland: (inaudible)
Corrie: It does, but it doesn't have to do with this right now. It does on the Flying
WYE; you're right.
Bertell: I'm Marion Bertell, 2534 South Velvet Falls, Meridian. Regarding impact
fees. Everyone's talking about we have to build to get impact fees. All along the
north side of Overland, there are huge commercial development. They've
already paid impact fees. This hasn't developed Overland. I rest my case.
Corrie: Anyone else? I guess we're on 13 on the Conditional Use Permit for ice
arena, pro shop, fitness center, restaurant and locker room and storage.
McKeegan: My name is Patrick McKeegan representing the applicant on this.
My address is 419 South 8th Street, Suite B in Boise, Idaho. I'm the architect on
the project. I don't know how much information you'd like to have, and because
of the lateness of the hour, I could give you a very brief description of the
Meridian City Council Specia( .ing

(
information; an overview, and then you can ask me questions. The testimony
and our application was relatively complete as to what the use of the facility is
going to be. It's going to be approximately 90,000 s.f. Two sheets of ice, one of
which is going to be an Olympic sheet of ice which will be the only Olympic sheet
of ice between Salt Lake and Seattle area when it is completed. That's important
because contrary to what everybody thinks, the rest of the world skates on
Olympic ice sheets. The United States and Canada are the only ones that use
NHL-size hockey rinks. The reason we're putting in the Olympic sheet is so we
can get some venues in that normally aren't coming to Boise because you don't
have the larger ice. In the application, the figures that we have used for seating
are the maximum for a venue. That includes - that would be if we happen to
have venues in both of the arenas going on at the same time. That would very
seldom occur that we would have packed house on both sides. In most cases,
the usual case for this is going to be two teams practicing on each sheet of ice
which would be 16 people per team, referees, coaches and such. During that
time period and teams waiting to come on the ice or going off of the ice, you'd
have between 120 to 150 people within the facility. We have parking way in
excess of that. The - for the shows and stuff, we'd probably only run one sheet
of ice. It doesn't make sense to have a special show on one side and then have
something competing on the other side. We might have tournaments, but again,
during tournaments, you can only have four teams on the ice playing, and they'd
be rotating through. So you might have people waiting, but you're not - the
figures that we have showing for the seating would very seldom be maxed out.
Usually that would happen when the office and retail portions were not in
business. If we were going to bring in an Ice Capades or something like that, we
wouldn't do that during the day when the businesses were going. We would do
that in the evening to attract people. At that point in time, the office and the retail
parking would become available for overflow parking for our use. Becky
addressed the issue of access to the site. There are two roads coming in off of
Overland directly contiguous to our site. There's also the stub road going to the
east which we anticipate there will be some development to the east that we
would tie into which would give a third access point to Overland Road for our ice
facility. We chose Meridian, we chose this location for the reason that the young
ladies earlier spoke to. All the other venues for ice skating are on the other end
of the valley, and if you're driving from Meridian or from Nampa or Caldwell to
skate, it's a pretty long drive. We also knew that in the City of Meridian there's a
great need for additional facilities for youth to have a place to skate or for them to
- we're going to have a fitness center for them to participate in that. We'll have -
anticipate some kind of a restaurant in location, and then also a pro shop in
conjunction with the theme. The owners of the property are working on some
synergistic-type uses with Raging Waters to maybe do some passes to where
you could go during the summer. You could go to Raging Waters for two or three
hours and just bake yourselves crazy, and then you could come down to the ice
rink two or three hours and skate and cool off. Putting together some things like
that to give us some recreational opportunities in this end of the valley. The
obvious connection with the high school is one that we've tried to do. It's our
Meridian City Council SpeCia( Jng

Page 55
understanding that within two to three years the State Board of Education is
going to be considering hockey as a letter sport in the state which is going to
increase the need for this type of facility. We've also been approached by other
communities in the state to duplicate this facility in their communities to try to get
- ice skating is really coming to this part of the country, and it's coming very
quickly. All of the participants in the project except for me with my bad old knee
are skaters and hockey players and associated with ice sports and are bringing
that load to the project. The design of facility is we're placing the main sheets of
ice and the locker rooms and everything -
*** End of Side 4 ***
McKeegan: -- building would be lower. In relationship to the structures around it,
the high school auditorium and gymnasium being (inaudible) actually be higher
than our facility. On the main level, we're going to have the fitness area in front.
The fitness center and the interior's going to be set up with a clear span of
courtyard, mall-type of a look so we can figure the spaces inside without having
to figure any bearing walls or anything like that. All of the mechanical equipment
is going to be housed into an interior mechanical rooms above the fitness room
of the offices on the south side so you won't have any rooftop equipment
showing except for whatever explosion hatches or emergency smoke venting or
whatever the Fire Department or the Fire Code requires out in the perimeter of it.
The ice machines and everything are going to be on the south side of the facility.
The actual machines are going to be in enclosed rooms with cooling power,
again, facing the school away from any residences or any buildings like that. We
placed the building in the corner of the site with the parking around the front so
not knowing what was going to be new developing on the east side and the south
side. We wanted to use the building as a buffer for the parking uses. The
parking lot will obviously be lit for events, but we'll have the lights on a timer so
that later in the evening when there's not as much traffic on the site we can lower
the light level and lower the impact on any of the uses. One other item. I'd like to
have a formal correction to the recommendation. I think somebody's word
processor - because in Item 1.2 in the recommendations, it states that the
recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission, and it should state
a minimum of seven handicapped accessible spaces should be provided to serve
this facility. Appears like something from a previous report was entered on the
tail-end of it about pavement and Overland and Locust Grove, and we don't have
any access to those streets and aren't contiguous to those streets. I believe that
that last portion of that sentence is applicable to the development as a whole
rather than our specific project. With that I will open myself for any questions or
comments that the Council may have.
Anderson: Mr. Mayor, what did you say the seating capacity of the ice rink was?
McKeegan: According to my notes, 1 080 is the seating capacity of the total
facility. That's both sides of the rink. Of that there are probably only fixed
I""
Meridian City Council Speciarl jng

Page 56
(
seating in the range of 300 to 500. Most of it is going to be portable seating to be
brought in for special events so that the portions off-rink can be used for dry
skating and dry training.
Anderson: Which was the condition that you said didn't apply?
McKeegan: On my - it's 1.2 on Page 2 of the Recommendations to City Council
at the bottom of the page. It applies, but it's just the only portion it applies to is
the handicapped spaces which we don't have any problem with that. I just
wanted to make sure that since this was the official record that it reflected the
text of the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation.
Corrie: Any other questions?
Bird: I have none.
McKeegan: Thank you very much.
Corrie: Testimony on the ice rink's Conditional Use Permit? Okay. Another
request for Conditional Use Permit for a 200-unit luxury apartment complex,
proposed L-Q zone for Resolution Business Park.
Day: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, my name IS Daman Day. I'm
representing Desert West Properties as the applicant for the Cond itional Use
Permit for the 200-unit luxury apartment complex that's been part of this
commercial development. My address for Desert West Properties is 1 00 West
Overland Road in Meridian, Suite 201. As has been previously explained and
see on the map, the location of the 2DD-unit apartment complex will be fronting
Overland Road and would have frontage on Millennial Way which would be the
access point to the area with the proposed high school. We are proposing a 200-
unit complex which would be 20 buildings of (inaudible) that's per building. The
(inaudible) drawings here that I can show to the Council, and they would be
available for the Council and any of the residents that are here at the hearing this
evening. Here is a site plan for the multi-family portion of the complex presenting
the layout for the buildings as well as including the buildings, the 20 buildings that
would be here, each housing 10 units for a total of 200. (inaudible) plans for a
clubhouse that would include exercise facilities, a business center for use for the
residents of the apartment complex as well as a pool and other amenities for the
residents. One thing I would like to clarify is this is a - this concept is a patented
concept. We went to some architects out of Dallas that specialize in projects that
are specifically designed to blend well with upper-end residential applications.
These complexes you will find in some of the more exclusive areas of the
country. You will see, as I show you, the elevations and explain some of the
things that are provided in with the apartment complex that are apartments
designed for renters by choice. People who are either down-sizing, do not want
the maintenance issues that go along with the single-family home or those who

are choosing to rent based on the surroundings and the type of development that
we are providing with this complex. As I mentioned, the concept is referred to as
"The Big House" Concept. The reason being is that the elevation that (inaudible)
each building proves to be a large single-family home, so it gives the appearance
as opposed to a traditional garden-style apartments where you share accesses
and entries. These complexes provide a privately-issued garages, private
access to the units. Again, a very nice curb appeal for each of the exposed
areas of the building. So we will see that it doesn't really look like any apartment
complex that we normally think of when we talk multi-family housing. It is
certainly not like anything that we have here in the Treasure Valley. We believe
that this will be the nicest apartment complex in the state of Idaho. Our proposal
to bring (inaudible) overall conventional development use that we are not only
lessen (inaudible) impact of vehicular trips, it is - (inaudible) 2DD-unit complex as
recognized by the Highway District in their traffic report, it actually produces less
trips than other commercial and retail. So we feel like it's a good mixed use
development and a good use for the 14.7 acres which we are proposing to put
the apartments. As I mentioned, it's 14.7 acres (inaudible) density of about 13.70
units per acre. The (inaudible) arranged for a mixture of (inaudible) proposing
about 4D percent will be one-bedroom, 40 percent will be two-bedroom, and the
remaining 20 percent will be three-bedroom units. With that there are either
single-car garages or two-car garages that are provided with the units. Square
footage would range from about 750 s.f. for a dwelling up to the high end of
about 1348 s.f. per dwelling unit. High ceilings, amenities you would find in the
upper end homes that would allow us to command rates that would be - I don't
recall the exact average, but it's up there. It would be pretty high end of the
market. I would be happy to entertain questions. I do have both of these
elevation drawings that, obviously, (inaudible) leave them here for anybody to
look at. I do have some floorplans for the units as well as the clubhouse or any
other portions of the development.
Corrie: Council, any questions?
Bird: I have none.
Anderson: I have none.
Corrie: Okay. Public testimony on the request for Conditional Use Permit for the
luxury apartments? Becky, do you have anything that you want to say as far as
the development is concerned on the items that have come up?
Bowcutt: Yes, sir. Under the conceptual planned-unit development application,
on Item 4, you guys in the Code you have your standard requirements that ask
that maintenance buildings be provided, areas be provided for recreational
vehicles. In my comments to staff, we indicated that recreational vehicles will be
prohibited in this apartment facility. They will not allow any RVs; therefore, we
don't have a need for that. As far as maintenance, nowadays we contract with
Meridian City Council speCia( .. ting
May 23,2000 .
Page 58
landscape companies that bring their own equipment off site, so there's no need
to have any storage of a maintenance buildings around. The most important
thing was staff's recommendation on the parking. Your Ordinance calls for two
units per dwelling unit for multi-family buildings three units or above. That has
always been the standardized number; it's consistent with other jurisdictions in
this area for multi-family. In this particular project, they have the one- and tWQ-
car garages. They also have some open parking. Each unit would at least have
a minimum of one enclosed garage that is attached to the dwellings. Staff
indicated that they wanted to see 2.3 parking spaces per dwelling unit. Under
the PD section, there is an obscure comment that this is - my experience with it
being implied - it says Hone additional parking space beyond that which is
required by Zoning Title may be required for every three dwelling units to
accommodate visitor parking." Well, the nice thing with this facility with having a
lot of these enclosed, attached garages is you don't have all that hard-surface
parking asphalt area. It allows you to have more landscaped areas and less
parking. We have 401 parking spaces, and that would include the garages and
any of the open parking. In addition to that, there is parking in front of the
garages which is consistent with some of the other complexes that I've dealt with:
Renaissance Apartments out at Boise Research Center on Chinden. I was
involved in that application. Those units had enclosed garages and when people
go to visit, I've been over in that vicinity, I see that there are cars parked in front
of the garages. Obviously, if there's a husband and wife, they only have a one-
car garage. So we feel that with that - even though that doesn't count for the two
spaces per unit, we have met the intent with 401 spaces of the Code, plus we
feel that we've gone beyond that to impose the point three, I don't think it's
practical. All that's going to do is take away from landscaping and put more
asphalt down. It's a really good site plan with a good concept. I would hate to
add more parking. So I'd like to ask you to please take that into consideration.
Oh, the other thing was a limitation on 30 units.
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor. Becky, I just had a question. Are you refe~ring to staff's
comments or to the recommendation by Planning and Zoning? We don't have
staff's recommendations. We only have the recommendations from P & Z.
Bowcutt: it was in staff's recommendation.
deWeerd: Are you referring to 1.1 on Page 2 or the staff recommendation for the
20Q-unit apartment complex?
Bowcutt: What does it state the parking requirement is (inaudible) matrix, doesn't
it?
deWeerd: No. It just says our requirements provided in the PD-C section shall
apply to Site B. Apartment complex shall be incorporated here. Is that what
you're referring to?

Bowcutt: Yes. Part of that PO section is these provisions dealing with RV
parking, maintenance building, and then the additional point three.
deWeerd: So P & z-
Bowcutt: So it's Section 12-6-8, Design Standards in the PD.
deWeerd: So P & Z is supporting staff's recommendation, or did they modify it?
Bowcutt: We went for four or five hours. I'd thought that they had concurred
with us. I believe that's what I came away. I'm not sure how the attorneys
viewed it when they wrote up the recommendations from the Planning and
Zoning Commission. I believe Steve was at that hearing. Shari was out.
deWeerd: Mr. Borup's here.
Bowcutt: Maybe Keith can enlighten us.
Borup: Yes, we did concur. Becky, just to reiterate, you have 400 parking
places now plus an additional 200, so you've got room for 600 cars?
Bowcutt: I've got, I believe, 553 if you counted the tandem. The requirement is
for 400.
Borup: That was what I think persuaded P & Z is they - similar to a single-family
residence; the space in front of a garage is used for parking in a single-family
residence, and that's the same aspect of the plat here.
deWeerd: Thank you.
Bowcutt: Yes, the .3, the Ordinance says "may," and it talks about visitor
parking, not for the resident parking. So we have met the requirement as the
Ordinance for two plus additional tandem.
Corrie: Any questions at this point? Okay. Thank you.
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: All right. Thank you.
Bowcutt: One other issue. In the recommendation by the P & Z, there was
discussion in there about the five-lane roadway.
Corrie: In which one?
/~:,..-,._.....
Meridian City Council Special( Jng
May 23,2000 '
Page 60
Bowcutt: I can't remember. There are six of them. In the motion in the minutes
when I read through just to refresh my memory, there was discussion about the
road improvements and at what point in time would these road improvements be
required. I believe the Commission on their recommendation stated that no
building permits would be issued until such time as Overland Road was rebuilt to
five lanes. Obviously, the public hearing was closed at that time so we could not
comment; however, I'd like to state for the record in working with Ada County
Highway District, I obviously can't insist that they build those five lanes. We can
do what we can to encourage them and try to get them to participate with us with
the argument that it's public funds will be saved in the long run and that is
necessary improvement in that area. But to state that no building permits could
be issued, that I believe is harsh. That would obviously impact the high school.
That was one of the discussions, I think, in the minutes that Mr. Barbeiro brought
up was if they limited these building permits, the high school as' part of this plat
would also be restricted. We only need the third lane to accommodate this
development. Capacity does exist. With the phasing of this project, the
Highway District was satisfied the lower traffic generators are the first couple
phases of this project. The retail will contribute 65 to 70 percent of traffic. The
apartments generate just a little over five trips per dwelling unit. A single-family
dwelling generates 1 0 trips per dwelling unit. So the Commission did approve
this based on the fact that there is capacity that with the improvements they have
requested of us, the additional capacity will be created to accommodate us at
build-out. They are extracting a considerable amount of money for trust funds on
these signals that they indicated they will put in as they feel they are warranted.
Like at Locust Grove and Overland. Do you have any questions?
Bird: I have none.
McCandless: Mr. Mayor, Becky, you keep talking about a third lane, and you
guys are going to put that in?
Bowcutt: Mr. Mayor, Councilwoman McCandless, yes, the Highway District has
stated that they want us to install a third center turn lane along the half-mile of
Overland Road frontage. They've asked that we install center turn lanes that
coincide with the Locust Grove approaches. It's kind of allowing that traffic to get
out - that free-flowing to make that turn into a particular project. Then they've
asked for 75 percent trust fund which I believe is $112,000 for the signal at the
new collector that would provide access to the high school. School District would
be a participant in that light. They imposed the requirement upon us because the
City does not require a Conditional Use Permit for the high school. So the
Highway District would have no opportunity to impose a requirement, so they did
it through the plat and through us. The District has stated that they will pay their
proportionate share. Then we've got a trust fund for $37,000 for 25 percent of a
light at Overland and Locust Grove. Plus we'll be installing sidewalk on Locust
Grove. They asked for $52,000 in trust fund for sidewalk on Locust Grove and
Overland; however, we did request that we be allowed to install that. Especially

with the school going in shortly. Our idea was we wanted to keep it in our
landscaping so we didn't have any conflicts. They don't like to go in and tear
sidewalk out, so they didn't want us to put it in a right-af-way. They wanted us to
give a trust fund. The City has always been af the City that they wanted the
sidewalks to go in when the projects go in. So they thought they could work with
us if they could meander it through our landscaping. That's what we show on our
site plan. We show that coming in right here on this landscaping. Then we've
got it meandering down here.
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor, what did ACHD say about when the installation was on the
line on Locust Grove and Overland would be going in?
Bowcutt: I brought to their attention the concerns of the residents. I've talked to I
think the President of the Meridian Greens Association and I talked to some
residents that live in Sportsman Pointe. They said that it's not warranted at this
time. The intersection operates at the level of service A, and the left-hand
turning movement, I think, is a level of service D or F. You've got 3500 vehicles
on Locust Grove. That was as of 1999, the vehicle count. With the intersection
that we're creating at the collector roadway, there will be 5000 trips. Three
thousand of those will be generated by this high school. They would not give me
any time table. They just stated in this staff report that they will install it when
warranted. But by putting the light in the collector will create a tuning effect
which will alleviate some of the problems that you've got that they're trying to
make that left-hand turn because you've got a full mile of traffic that's free-flowing
in both directions. You don't have intermittent areas like you find where you want
a signal a half-mile mark or the quarter-mile mark where it creates those gaps in
traffic. So that does help the situation. ACHD is also installing free turn lanes at
the intersection of Eagle Road and Overland. In fact, they stated that they will
begin construction on that within just a couple of months. That will enhance that
intersections' capacity. Then they've got Meridian Road and Overland
intersection listed on their critical intersection list, and they hope to get that one
improved too. So they're trying to get aggressive in this area. We are doing
what we can to pay our proportionate share and encourage them to accelerate
their plans.
Corrie: Mrs. McCandless. Okay. Council, any other questions?
Bird: I have none.
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor, I hate to let you down. There were a number of comments
that Becky had on some staff comments in one of these, and she's referring to
the staff comments rather than the Planning and Zoning recommendations. I
don't know if any of the other --

Bowcutt: If I could make it easier, I have my written responses. Do you have
that? Those items are balded.
deWeerd: But those are in response to staff's comments.
Bowcutt: The staff report does say that all of their requirements and suggestions
apply unless expressly modified by the Council. So we have always had a two-
leg system where even if the Commission concurred with us, we also had to
make sure the Council did.
Anderson: Were there quite a few of them that you disagreed with?
Bowcutt: No, sir. (inaudible).

Corrie: So does Council have any other questions that require any public
testimony? Hearing none, 1'(1 entertain a motion on closing the public hearing.
Anderson: So moved.
Bird: Second.
Corrie: Motion made and seconded to close the public hearings for Items 9, 1 0,
11, 12, 13 and 14. Any further discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor of
the motion say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
Corrie: Public hearings are closed. So I assume Council wants to take these
one at a time; correct?
Bird: Yes.
Corrie: Item 9, this is a request for annexation and zoning of 16.119 acres from
RT to C-G for proposed Resolution Business Park by G.L. Voigt / Overland, LLC,
south of Overland Road and east of Locust Grove Road. Discussion? No
discussion, then we'll take a motion.
Anderson: Well, I'll throw out some discussion first, then. Just a comment to the
residents and some people fully understand this and other don't, but the City of
Meridian does not build roads. Ada County Highway District would be the ones
who actually build these roads. This has been a continuing problem for the City
Council that we agree with a lot of the comments that were made out there. We
would love to have the roads widened prior to development coming.
Unfortunately, as Ms. Bowcutt pointed out, the impact fees are collected as

buildings are built, and we try as we may to try to get the Highway District to build
these roads, but they build them on their e tables, and they build them usually
when something is more of a crisis situation than what we would like to see them
built. Not a good situation for us. If we were to wait until the roads were
widened, we'd probably just shut down all building completely in Meridian, and
there would never be any new growth. I'm not sure that that's a realistic
approach to that situation. I would also make the comment that this project will
probably have less of an impact on overall traffic than several other projects that
could go in there including R-4 and residential. I think this, with the proximity that
this has at the interchange at Eagle Road and the freeway that this type of a
mixed-use would be very well suited for that area. Those are some of my
comments for now.
McCandless: Mr. Mayor, I agree with what Ron said. I think in some ways that
this is a really, really nice concept. I think it will be an asset to Meridian. I do,
however, resent the fact that the developers come in here and almost without
exception, they put the cart before the horse. You've still got two-lane highways
out there. I was out there today, and the traffic is horrendous without any of this
coming on. I sympathize with the guy who is looking at a vacant lot now out his
front window. But you can't expect the growth that we're having in Meridian that
you can't expect it to stay a vacant lot. You're going to have to accept that there
. is going to be growth out there. I think it's - the project is great, but we need to
look at things like traffic where there's all kinds of accidents and people being
killed and everything else. I just don't agree with it. You've got two lanes on
Overland and two lanes on Locust Grove. I have seen projects that Ada County
Highway District has put us on the five-year plan, and all of a sudden it
disappears. Well, where did it go? Well, it's on the ten-year plan. I've seen it
over and over again. I don't know about the overpass. We need it and badly.
When is it going to be built? Nobody seems to know. We get the excuse from
Ada County Highway District that we need the access before we can get it built
before the Transportation Department will build it, but we haven't seen anything
done on it yet. That's alii have to say right now.
Anderson: Mr. Mayor, on this first item, the request for annexation on Item No.9,
as Ms. Bowcutt points out, there is no plan right now for development. All they're
simply doing is asking for annexation at this time, and they'll still have to come
before the City Council with a CUP to build something there. In light of that, at
this time I would make a motion that we approve the request for annexation and
zoning for the 16.119 acres for RT and - was that the one that you were wanting
to go to what was the zoning on that? C-N for the proposed Resolution Business
Park for G.L. Voigt I Overland, LLC, and request that the Findings of Facts and
Conclusions of Law be drawn up by the attorney.

Anderson: (inaudible)

Corrie: This is the one about the boats, campers and motorhomes?
Bird: Yes.
McCandless: That's on 14, isn't it?
Nichols: Mayor and Council, if I may be of some assistance. On Page 5 of the
recommendations from the Planning and Zoning Commission, 1.9 deals with
storage areas. 1.1 0 is the maintenance building or landscape maintenance-type
things.

Stiles: -- this area, somewhere in this area that would go through, and that would
serve as emergency access. There will be a bridge or a crossing over the Hunter
Lateral there into this site.
deWeerd: So that should just be noted in the motion? The reference to the
emergency access as shown in the revision.
Anderson: As shown in the revised -
Nichols: Mayor, members of the Council, point of order. In Site A, this is merely
a concept. Site A is not a plat, it's not been formalized. What you can do in your
motion if you're inclined to is indicate that will be emergency-vehicle access
between this area that's covered by this CUP and the area that's covered in the
annexation and zoning - you can figure out how to word that, but at such time
that Site A that there's some development for that, a CUP, a plat, whatever, there
would be a place to connect to and follow up through that process then for that
connectivity. But. even following this particular plan, that's what is shown
because Site A is not platted. I don't think it would be appropriate to mandate
that that's where it should be. You can mandate that one exists, but not
necessarily that that's where it is.
deWeerd: So emergency access to the west from Site B to Locust Grove.
Anderson: I would amend my motion if the second would agree to require the
developer to provide cross-access from Site A, Band C, provide access at such
time as Site A is platted.
Bird: Second agrees.
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor, did you want to include In your motion, Councilman
Al1derson, 1.5,1.9 and 1.10?
Anderson: Actually, we want to delete those, right?
deWeerd: Well, don't delete 1.5 totally.
Anderson: Mr. Mayor, the City Clerk is pointing out to me that in the CUP for the
apartments that those maintenance building and the storage areas and the
parking are waived - the parking's not waived, but the other two are waived for
the CUP for 14, so do we need to take it out of the CUP, too? This one's for the
entire development.
Corrie: Mr. Nichols. It's on the CUP for the apartments.
Nichols: Councilman Anderson, Mayor, members of the Council, that could be
done by stating specifically with regard to Item 1.9 and 1.0 by (inaudible) except

for the multi-residential development, comma, and then I would also add that
since the applicant has made the statement that there would be no RV parking
that we simply, on Item 14 when we get there, if you're inclined to agree with that
one, to say that the CC & Rs shall provide that there shall be no RV parking,
boats, trailers, campers, motorhomes.
Anderson: That would be item -
Nichols: Well, whatever it is on the next one under Item 14 on your agenda.

have toughed it out and are still here, I know you've heard from the other Council
members, but it's really frustrating dealing with ACHD, and we're trying to get our
priorities - as a priority for them, they have been using our impact fees to
improve our roads, and that's all their using. So unfortunately, that forces us to
look at developments that would have a lower impact so that you can pay for the
road improvements. As much as you disagree with it, as much as we disagree
with it, it's the only way that we can get our roads paid for unless anyone has
influence on the Curtis extension, perhaps we can get the funding over here for

that, but that's not going to happen. So the condition that Planning and Zoning

~, Section 6, T3N, R 1 E:
Corrie: Okay. Now, we need to have the Council on the public hearing - Mr.
Attorney, what is the procedure on this again?
Nichols: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, as I understand it, we have a letter
form an attorney for the owner which states that the owner is withdrawing
consent to the annexation. That letter should be placed in the public record. If
there's anybody here to testify, I suppose they can, but basically with this
information, there's no way you can annex the property unless it's completely
surrounding the enclave.
Corrie: Is there anyone here that came to testify on Items 15 and 16? Is that
what happened? Okay.
Abbott: Mayor and Council, my name is Leroy Abbott. I'm one of the partners.
Corrie: Have you seen this letter?
Abbott: We have seen that letter. We were also notified that was rescinded. We
are under a contractual agreement with Mr. Curtis to develop this property with
conditions of Planning and Zoning approval, City Council approval, preliminary
plat, and is one of the conditions of the contract. Until we accomplish that, our
contract, in our opinion is not with Mr. Curtis. (inaudible) We were notified by
phone today that that had been rescinded. So I'm a little surprised. We would
not have wasted your time with the hours if that had not been the case.
Corrie: I don't think we've done anything on it other than - Mr. Attorney, in that
case, do we need to continue the public hearing on those two until we find out
what's going on?
Nichols: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, my recommendation would be that
you continue this hearing because at this point, all the Council has in writing is
this withdrawal. So if that has been rescinded, there will need to be something
from either Mr. Dillon or Mr. Curtis that states that this letter is withdrawn so that
we can proceed. If you continue the public hearing, we get that letter, then we
can do it next time.

Abbott: Mr. Mayor, Council, Mr. Attorney, is there any possible way that we can
because of the typical month between hearings that we could address this
subject of that being rescinded being that we've been here this long tonight?
Address the annexation with your approval or denial based on this rescintion
given to City Attorney and properly (inaudible) avoid a month's delay?
Corrie: Your delay would only be until the 20th of June. Two weeks.
Abbott: Two weeks?
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor, I believe that there were public that left after you made this
announcement.
Corrie: There was some, yes. Would the two weeks be a hardship? We've got
to do something. It might be a month, but we've got to be something because
people did leave.
Abbott: If there's no possible way that we can proceed, then we can be - we will
be agreeable. We want to proceed with this development. It was obvious today,
and our attorneys (inaudible). His comment to us was that they had conversation
and they had rescinded.
Corrie: I would recommend to the Council that we continue the public hearing on
Item 15 and 16 on the 20th of June to get this situation cleared up. That way in
the meantime if we need something from Mr. Curtis or Mr. Dillon, (inaudible) to
us.
Abbott: Thank you very much.
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor, would this need to be re-noticed because the public did
leave?
Berg: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, I would suggest that I would try to
send out first-class mailings just to notify them that the hearing was continued
until June 20th because my concern is the impression that they had when they
left that it was going to be withdrawn. I don't know what the attorney would
advise, but my concern would be first-class would get there and they wouldn't
have to try to come to the post office and try to get a certified mailing, it would
take longer.
Nichols: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, it would be my recommendation
that the clerk does has he suggested, and that should provide sufficient notice
and opportunity to be heard. We don't know the people that left were opposed or
in favor, and so to presume that they were opposed may be premature. Certainly
if they happen to sign any of the sheets that we asked them to sign in the back

and indicated that they were going to testify on this particular matter, a letter
could be specifically be sent to them what has happened.
Corrie: That's probably the best thing we can do. We have to continue it,
though.
Abbott: Mr. Mayor, so I understand that we would be heard on the 20th.
Corrie: That was the suggestion that was made by City Attorney. Thank you.
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor, I move that we continue the public hearing for request for
annexation and zoning of 23.6 acres for proposed Teare Terrace as well as the
request for preliminary plat for the same project to June 20th.
Corrie: Do I hear a second?
Bird: I'll second it.

Corrie: Item No. 20, Keith, would you do this for me?
Bird: Okay, Council, Item 20 is a request for a Conditional Use Permit for
Generations Park Plaza I by Cole Associates Architects for the revitalization of
an existing building to house a restaurant and offices in an OT zone. They want
to redo the old Mangum building.
deWeerd: Can we do 20 and 21 together?
Bird: Can we do them together? Oh. They're different buildings. Okay, staff.
Stiles: There's been a little change that they've come up with since the
application was originally submitted. They have decided that they are going to
tear down the building and construct a new building there. But apparently they
came into some problems and decided that it would be better for them to
demolish - they have already received a variance for the off-street parking
requirement. They've also been working extensively with Tom Kuntz on the
proposed lease area next to Generations Plaza, and I believe I'll just let Tom
cover his issues on that.
Kuntz: You should have in your packets tonight a memo sent to Gary Benoit of
Stewart, Laney and Benoit. It add resses issues that the Parks and Recreation
Commission has with adjacent sidewalks and landscaping buffers. It also

litter and addition trash and that type of thing.
Anderson: Where's the restroom?
Kuntz: The restroom was not able to be negotiated within the current floorplan of
this building. We do have porta-potties ready to be moved in at a moment's
notice, however.
Corrie: There might be a need for that.
Bird: Mayor, the staff report's (inaudible), excuse me. It's getting late. Do you
have anything that you want to say on that? (inaudible).
Cole: Good evening, Mayor Corrie and City Council. My name is Stan Cole,
Cole Associates Architects. I'm at 960 Broadway, Boise, Idaho. I represent
Stewart, Laney and Benoit developers for this project. We've been working very
hard with Mayor Corrie and Meridian City Council, Parks and Recreation and
Planning and Zoning. We feel that this is a nice amenity for the downtown core
of the Old Town in Meridian. We've got a few issues. We dealt with Mr. Kuntz
regarding the park. I understand with conversation with the landscape architect
who is working with Tom that there's still not complete with the conceptual
design; that's still in the works. We intend to work with them until that is
complete and coordinate our projects with that. We have two buildings that face
the park. Both are intended to have amenities with terraces and plaza and that
one area that we're leasing from the City to (inaudible) for each building. I'll
provide some documentation for the Council to look at that shows the former
park concept and what's proposed. I'll let Gary Benoit finish, wrap up what our
intentions are for this.
Benoit: Good morning, Mayor and City Council. I'm Gary Benoit, Stewart, Laney
and Benoit, 91 0 Main Street in Boise. We're the developers of the Generation
Plaza building. Stan has handed you some handouts there depicting two things.
One is called the former concept which is the original parks idea of what they
were going to do with the remainder of Generation Park before we came along,
and the other one is called the Concept No.1. The purpose of my addressing
you at this point is we do take exception to some of Tom's good work on the
park. We appreciate everything that has gone into it, but there are some
extenuating circumstances and some elements that we would like to explain. I
would start out by pointing out a former concept drawing down there. You can
see the - what that was they basically were accessing the alleyway before it was
vacated, and there would be some parking with some shrubbery and four-foot
stone wall or a brick wall separating the cars or screening the cars, actually, from
the park. Then along the existing Mangum building or the Idaho Street building
would be some ornamental trees planted, then two sidewalks traversing the lane
of the park area. After our conversation with Mayor Corrie and Tom and our
Meridian City Council Special (

(
investors, and we got all fired up, we decided that we wanted to buy both
buildings and work out a plaza concept and get together a miniature Center on
the Grove. We feel like we came up with really a great win-win situation that
everybody is going to come out with a better product. If you'll take a look at
concept No.1, there are some color coding on there, and I'll explain those in just
a minute, but one of the things that we get by doing the vacation of the alley, we
remove the wall that was we felt obtrusive and kind of blocking off, cutting off the
park. In doing so, we increased the overall size of the park by 23 percent. That
23-percent figure takes into consideration the fact that we're asking to lease a
patio that now is 16 by 80 or 65 feet it is now. So even after we deduct the patio,
there is still a net gain of 23 percent of the size of the park. Probably one of the
biggest things that we've done in doing this is by closing off that alley, we've also
made that a safer park. Now we've got little kids that run out to grab the ball and
they're not running out into an alley where some unsuspecting or unconscious
driver is coming along and can cause a serious injury. We feel that we've added
a lot. We hope that we've jumpstarted the downtown core, that we've gotten a
new project off. We've wondered about it, the Statesman editorial said that they
were pleased that developers were willing to risk coming to Meridian and to
pioneer coming to the downtown area. That made us a little bit nervous. We got
a little bit nervous when our banker told us on the project, the first comment was
he said that we spent too much money for the land. We knew. We
acknowledged that before, but it was financially not the strongest deal we ever
put together for a variety of reasons. Primarily because we were somewhat
enamored with this concept of creating this nice little park area, but our banker's
looking at it and saying, well, you spent too much money on your land. Then he
said an interesting thing. He said his biggest concern was the neighborhood, the
downtown Meridian area is a risky place to be building a property. I don't know
how our Board's going to look at that. So we become a little more financially
conscious as we move along through this project. Of course, as Shari just
eluded, now we're finding that the Mangum building structurally is not the building
we thought it was and it has problems. So we're tearing that down and we're
going to have to start all over again. We really didn't come out very well
financially on this deal at all. Which probably makes us a little more sensitive to
Tom's request. We feel that the items that they're asking for us to do, if you'll
look at your concept one, the blue sidewalk is a sidewalk that parallels - I should
say is paralleling the existing alley. The way that is set up, the alley is 16 feet
wide, and we're proposing to take eight feet of the alley, the remaining eight feet
of the alley was to have been originally - the park had agreed that they were
going to put in a sidewalk, and there was a change of attitude at kind of the last
minute. We took the issue before the Planning and Zoning Commission, and
they agreed with us that the park needed to build the sidewalk. We thought the
issue was taken care of, and apparently it's not. It's still an issue. I guess that's
what a public forum is all about to express our ideas on them. So we're looking
at this sidewalk and we're saying, gosh sakes, haven't we done enough for the
City? Haven't we brought you 23 percent greater area to the park? Haven't we
brought you a much nicer concept that will give the City a gathering area, a place
Meridian City Council speCia{ dng
May 2312000 .
Page 76
for people to be, and hopefully a proud new entrance to a new Old Town section.
The sidewalk area as you can see on the original map, if you look at the former
concept, the sidewalk was already planned is going in a different direction. Now
it's just been turned and gone down parallel to the park. Tom's Item No.2 about
the new sidewalk highlighted in yellow on the former on the - on the Concept No.
1, he wanted us to pay for that as well which we're saying, well, wait a minute.
You already had that sidewalk in before we ever came along. The Parks
Department had planned on putting the sidewalk in. What is the difference that
we decide to build a project next to it and bring more people in to use your park
and enjoy the facility? We don't feel that that's something that should be
assigned to our side. It just doesn't seem fair. I think that's probably the
underlying tone of all of these points. We don't think they're fair. Item No.3,
they want us to landscape the east end of the building. We, in our negotiations,
already conceded to do two things with the patio. The first one was to landscape
the perimeter of the patio. The second one, and that's actually park land, but
then we were asked, okay, if you're going to landscape that, then you might as
well lease that. So you've got to pay for it now. What we'd originally talked
about was a 15 by 60 foot patio, and that's what they were going to lease and
use for the restaurant. We really hadn't anticipated having to landscape that for
the park, and we really hadn't anticipated having to pay for it. But in spirit of
conciliation, okay, we'll do that. That's not a problem. One thing that we do
have a problem with, though, is landscaping the rest of the site of our building. If
you look on the original format concept and see that the City had a series of trees
already planned down that side. So they changed the look of the landscaping a
little bit. We've already done half that side around our patio. It would seem that
the Parks Commission would be able to do the remaining half. Again, we
probably wouldn't be fighting for these points except we now have a financially
struggling project. If we were to take this building and put it somewhere else, we
could probably double our return. This is not a strong, financial investment for
us. This is more of a heart-felt-we-want-to-do-it-type of a project, and we do
have investors in it that we need to answer to, and we need to be able to provide
them a certain amount of return. So at this point, an element that hasn't entered
into it yet, there's a new $5000 sewer line that was just added to this last week.
So you start adding all of these up plus tearing down a building, pretty soon
these pennies are adding up and we've got a project that financially could be in a
bit of trouble. It's hard to convince our investors that they should keep their
money in it. One of the items that Tom mentioned here is on the patio, you
know, we agreed we'll do the landscaping, we'll even trim the bushes which we
found a little bit interesting, but we'll do that. One item on the cost of the lease
itself, our original negotiations, Tom has calculated us at 1.5 percent per month,
and I had written down a comment from our discussion, 1.25 percent. I don't
know if that was - I think that might be an oversight or something that we need to
talk about. We didn't have a chance to discuss today. That falls into the
category of lease negotiations which we would like to get the lease taken care of.
We've been patiently waiting three months now for the lease. Haven't received
that. The final item, Item No.5, they're anticipating that we're going to increase
Meridian City Council special>"" Jng

Page 77
the area of the use of the area, and in doing so we're going to leave more trash
and debris and food drinks. The patios that you see there, these are patios that
are served by servers. The food and the debris are going to be on the patios and
the waitperson's going to take that away. I don't really foresee people throwing
things over the edge. But even if they did, I think the concept that the whole
downtown is trying to accomplish is you want more people downtown. You want
more usage. Quite frankly, if we spill a little ice cream or some coke on your
patio, our taxes which are going to be 8 to 10 times what you're collecting now on
that land will surely clear that off. So again, we look at this and say we're kind of
nit-picking at all of these things. We want to see that downtown core developed.
Quite frankly, I think future developers will take a look at it and say, you know, if
they're going to get nit-picked to death, why take the risk? Why go out there and
do those things if everybody's going to split hairs on it? It's - I think it's
conducive to the City for your Old Town to be developed correctly. Quit splitting
hairs. We ask that you quit splitting hairs with us and disregard the additional
charges that we're faced with here. The rest of the City's been real cooperative.
We appreciate your support, and we've had good support on it, but this is one
issue that we're just having a little trouble swallowing. Thank you.
Corrie: Council, any questions? Okay.
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor, just wanted to give you some input behind the
recommendation from the Parks and Recreation Commission. They reviewed
this. Mr. Benoit had made a presentation to them at a real preliminary stage, and
at that time it was all conceptual that, so they did have a change to review it at
this last meeting as well as a recent gathering. They feel that definitely these two
businesses will impact this park. There's no doubt that the people would go into
the businesses suggested and number two, as well as number one, would take
their pizzas or their mochas and sit in the park. That's what parks are for, to be
utilized, and they believe that the park is an amenity to these businesses, and
with Generations Park Plaza II, they were using the full alleyway, and they meet
the Park's alley-half to provide the sidewalk for them and do not feel it was an
unreasonable request to say that we'll maintain that, but your patrons will be
utilizing it because they will not be able to walk --
*** End of Side 6 ***
deWeerd: -- construction is done, they won't have the maintenance costs that
the park will assume that. It was also felt that on the other side as well will
benefit the Smokey Mountain Pizza restaurant that's being proposed there, and
didn't feel it unreasonable to request that landscaping go on the perimeter of their
building. One thing that Tom didn't mention in there, you know, the Commission
did further than that, and I think that Tom felt that he was already pushing the
dime. They felt that he should further develop the property clear to the sidewalk
that they were putting in place, and I see that he's left that out. The Commission
does believe that this will add more people to the parks, and that is a good thing.
Meridian City Council Special( ing

But they also felt that the use of that, the developer should contribute to some of
the development of that sidewalk that will benefit their properties.
Corrie: We're trying to work something out here.
Mayor and City Council, Gary Benoit, 91 0 Main Street. Granted, the sidewalks
are going to be used by our patrons, but addressing the two different situations,
the sidewalk along the alley, for instance, we view that from two perspectives.
First of all, I don't know how people are going to get to the City parking lot if you
don't have a sidewalk to get back and forth on. Granted, our people might walk
on it, but we see other people using it as well. The second point I'd like to make
is this is what we get for our tax dollars. We get a front sidewalk on Main Street
someplace or on Idaho Street. We're already replacing 25 percent of the
sidewalks around the Pine Street building, the Generations II building. We're
paying for 25 percent of the street sidewalks. We're replacing those. It would
seem like at some point, our tax dollars or something ought to allow us to use a
public thoroughfare, a walkway. I don't think we should be asked to pay for all of
these. As an example, when Tom and I were putting this together, we weren't
sure how to do this. We contracted through eeDe in Boise to ask them how
they assess their merchants along 8th Street in Boise. Tom was surprised, and I
wasn't surprised to find out that they don't charge them a stinking thing. They
gave them - they built the regular sidewalk and then they added 15 feet on both
sides of the sidewalk and brick pavers. They don't charge them any rent. They
don't charge them any maintenance. They said it was worth our time to
encourage merchants because look what we did. Look at 8th Street. And they
have. They've filled 8th Street up. It is now - 8th Street is so powerful they even
moved the City Center of Boise one block east. They've moved it over from 9th
Street to 8th Street just by the foresight. That's the foresight that we'd like to see
the City of Meridian have. Don't nail us on these small things because in the end
we're going to fill up the buildings, we're going to bring more development to your
downtown area. As far as the sidewalk parallel to the Smokey Mountain building,
that one was already on your plan. I can't see - again, it's kind of a City sidewalk
that everybody ought to be able to use. It's not the main entrance to the
restaurant, particularly. The main entrance is over on Idaho Street. Even if it
were, I think in the spirit of cooperation and the spirit of hoping that our project
succeeds so that your downtown succeeds, I think that the sidewalk should be
provided. Thank you
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor, I have a question for Mr. Benoit. If the park were to build
their grass clear up to their property line and the alley, you would have to be
putting in a sidewalk. So you would be losing square footage off of your building
which we all understand that is one cost that you cannot afford. This is a one-
time cost; reducing your square footage is a permanent cost. So it would seem
by the Commission as the compromise by putting in the sidewalk that would
allow you that patio space for your outdoor amenity.
Meridian City Council Specia{ Jng

Benoit: Granted, you could do that. You could put grass all the way up to our
patios. But we go back to the word cooperation. We're trying to cooperate with
the City to give you a better project. Our concept is already enlarging the
Generations park by 23 percent. What else do you want? We gave you 23
percent more grass. Twenty-three more than anything else and a much safer
concept. Much more viable showpiece for the whole City. We think that we're
getting nickel-and-dimed to death to have somebody pour a little concrete patio
brick paver or sidewalk along there and, furthermore, to maintain it. That was
one of the requests that Tom has is to maintain the sidewalk. Now, why should
we maintain the City sidewalk? I don't understand it. Any other questions?
Cole: Stan Cole, Cole Associates, 960 Broadway, Boise. Now that we vacated
the alley, our property line actually adjusts to the center of the alley. We could
potentially actually build our building to the centerline of the alley and not provide
any of the sidewalk at all if we wanted to. We're, in the spirit of cooperation, we
want that (inaudible) pedestrian plaza (inaudible) access way. We think the best
use is for both parties to provide paving that matches (inaudible) corridor.
Bird: Mr. Cole, I believe, I agree that when we vacated that we go to the
centerline, but our ground also goes out to the centerline too when you vacate
the alley because we own up to it.
Cole: That's correct.
Bird: So actually, the ground that we're getting, we're putting the sidewalk down
and it is our ground anyway in the right-ot-way of the alley where the sidewalk is
going if I look at this map right.
Cole: We could actually build -
Bird: You can build your building over there, but we still have the halt deal there.
You can build it within five foot of your property line.
Cole: We can build it to zero.
deWeerd: There's an easement there.
Bird: Zero allowance? Okay. I'm not arguing that, but actually, and I -
deWeerd: That's an easement. He can't build there.
Bird: That isn't an easement when they vacate it, is it?

Bird: So that's - I know where you guys are coming from, too, but I just want
people to understand that that sidewalk ground that you're given that you say
you're giving us, you're not giving us. When you vacate that alley, our property
line which we own up to on the south side goes to the middle of the alley, too, the
same as yours does. I realize that you can bring your building out to there. I
want to cooperate, don't get me wrong, but I don't want people saying that you're
giving us this extra square footage.
Cole: We're not required to have any sidewalk along that side.
Bird: No, we can put the sidewalk in. That sidewalk is no argument. I have no
problem with your patio. I have no problems. But don't come tell me that you're
giving us this extra ground. We could have vacated this square footage and had
it done ourselves a long time ago. We've got to be joint venturers and we've got
to get along. But don't tell me that you're giving us this amount more when it's
being put on my ground. See what I mean?
Cole: Not in total because we're both buying (inaudible) of that parcel of alley.
Corrie: I guess what I'm looking at is where we had parking over there is if we
move that parking out, that's - we're not giving anything to anybody. That's still
our property. So the centerline is irrelevant. I understand what he's trying to say
is we want to cooperate as much as possible, but you're not giving us anymore
land.
Cole: No. You're just encroaching more on - you're increasing your land by
taking (inaudible)
Bird: Yeah. Your project is beautiful for downtown. I appreciate Gary and his
partners coming down here and doing it. It will definitely be an asset to
Generations Plaza. Asset to the whole City. So I think we can work some things
out.
Cole: We think with just a little cooperation and negotiation -
Bird: I have no problem with that at all. Absolutely no problem at all. But I don't
- I kind of get riled up when you tell me that you're giving me this extra ground
when it's actually ours anyway. So, anyway.
Anderson: Mr. Mayor, I guess I'm kind of a numbers guy. When I look at the
little bit of sidewalks that we're asking your guys to help participate, we feel that
we've made a sizeable investment in property and development in that park, and
we have the parking lot that was built behind your building which will be utilized in
that, too. We've created quite an amenity there that you guys wouldn't be
looking at that project if that park wasn't sitting there. I guess when I look at it,
we're going to have better than $300,000, maybe $400,000 in this thing to ask

you to foot the bill for $10 or $15,000 in sidewalks. I'm not sure, maybe you
know what the numbers are, what we're asking for. I hate to get into a pissing
match over penny-anty things because we're not looking at the big picture there,
but we feel that we have made an investment there and the investment that we
make is what is going to make your project fly. We appreciate the fact that you're
willing to start that, but if it's not you, someone else is going to pick up on that
amenity and Meridian will get revitalized at some point.
Benoit: Gary Benoit. Yes, you've made an investment there. I guess our point
is that those, the sidewalks, the landscaping, the brick wall, the parking stalls, all
that, that was all budgeted. That was all planned for. We came along, we didn't
change any of that. We were going to spend about the same or less money than
you were before. The pressure, the piece I'm not telling you, I guess you'll have
to decide for yourself, there are three partners in our group. We had a meeting
this morning. It" a point of ethical conduct for the other two. They're backing out
if this doesn't - if we have to pay for it. I'm not trying to threaten you, but I've got
to tell you what you're up against. You're right. You'll find someone else to
develop it, but you know, timing is everything. You've got to hit the market when
it's right. The market is right right now. In another couple of years, if you've
missed that time, who knows what's going to happen. Point No.1. Point No.2 is
when somebody comes to us and says why didn't you guys do it? We relate the
stories. I know developers are going to go Oh my God, we don't want to deal
with that. You're going to get the wrong reputation out there, and you're going to
have trouble downtown. Again, I'm not saying this to threaten you. I'm saying it
to tell you the facts of the way they are. When I go back tomorrow, if we're doing
(inaudible) I've got a battle because I've got two partners that say huh-uh, we're
not going with it. Part of it is we've got to spend an extra $200,000 to tear down
a building and re-build it. That makes a difference. We paid too much for the
land to begin with. That makes a difference. The bottom line is we've got
bankers, and the bankers are going to come along and say, we don't care how
much you've paid for the land, and we don't care what it cost for the building.
How much rent can you generate? That's what dictates where it is. If we can't
generate enough rent to justify the amount that we paid for the buildings, we're
out of luck. We either come out of pocket more or we just don't get the land.
That's the way the bank works. They just have their perimeters. I just want to
lay all the cards out on the table so that everybody can make a good decision.
WE want to move forward. WE think it's a great project, too. I think it would be a
shame to let it slip at this point of really what is a piddly amount. It's probably
$10, $12,000 worth of amenities. Right now, the way our budget is, that $10- or
$12,000 works and the partners are looking at it and saying is there a spirit of
cooperation or isn't there?
Anderson: Thought there was.
deWeerd: We're giving you a piece of a park land to lease. Without your
outdoor dining, we've reduced your parking requirements. You're using one of

our lots that is really benefiting the two businesses you're putting in there. I don't
see how that can take away from the spirit of cooperation that the City is doing.
There are a lot of businesses who would go in and build a building and put in a
fountain as an amenity. We already have that there for you.
Benoit: Not in Meridian Idaho. You can't get the rents here for that. You can't
afford those kinds of amenities in this (inaudible).
deWeerd: We have tried to be very cooperative. This is something that has
come up - it does benefit you and it seems logical to me. I don't think it's -
Benoit: What's the difference? Had we not come along you would have put in
the sidewalks and the landscaping and the parking. You would have spent x-
number of dollars.
deWeerd: And we would have built it clear up to that building and there wouldn't
be outdoor dining. There wouldn't -
Benoit: That's right.
deWeerd: -- be a nice walkway next to an outdoor patio type of thing. It would be
designed differently.
Benoit: It would function differently. It wouldn't have the ambiance, the
creativity, the synergy that's going to be created there by having patios and
people and restaurants.
deWeerd: And that's what attracted you there.
Benoit: It's not going to have the look, the bang that you're looking for for that
downtown core. I understand where you're coming from. Probably I know you're
on the Parks Commission. It's prudent to ask, but what I'm telling you is we can't
go anymore. I've got two partners that aren't going to go anymore. Like it or not,
that's the way it was told to me.
Corrie: So we're talking about $12,000 and they're going to throw this whole
project down the tubes?
Benoit: Well, it's not just that, Mayor. It's the rest of it. It's not penciling out
well. We need to give our investors a 16 percent return on their money. This is
8-1/2 percent. They can go into the stock market and do better than that.
Bird: Not right now.
Benoit: These guys are standing back and saying what's the City going to do?
They going to do this? They going to do that? They've magnified all of this out

of perception. But it doesn't make any difference because they're the money
behind it, and if we lose them -
Bird: Now you're telling me that this is also - you can't pencil out on Generations
Plaza II at the VanPapagan side, I take it. If we have this kind of a deal - you're
actually looking at two buildings, Gary, that's going to be that $12,000 is charged
against because you've got the new one coming up and the old one, and you're
going to charge it against the renters, the leasers, that $12,000 over or whatever
it is, but you've got two buildings there as far as the parking - no problem. We're
going to interchange our parking lots, I'm sure, after hours. The City will be using
your parking lot with your blessings, and you're more than welcome to use ours.
That's what it's there for. So I think that with the variances and stuff that we've
got, that we've given you for Generations Plaza II, you're going to have a nice
building, and I don't know what you have to have a square foot to pencil out. It's
none of my dang business. But I would think when you're talking about with two
buildings, I don't know how many square foot you're going to need on either one
of them, but $12,000 isn't going to add up to much. I don't think that we're hung
on $12,000. I think you could probably go back and talk to the Commission and
get - my recommendation as a Councilman is if you go back and talk to them
and sit down and cut it in half, that's fine. Something like that. Go negotiate with
them. I don't want to lose your project. I think it's a very - it's a start for
downtown Meridian. We know that. Meridian needs a shot in the arm.
Downtown Meridian nee'ds a shot in the arm. You guys are giving it to us.
You've got two nice projects. I didn't realize that Mangum's building had to come
down. How many square foot building (inaudible) two-story?
Benoit: Six thousand feet at Mangum's and 12,000 on the other one. See, we've
already averaged, to get it to pencil out, we're taking the good building, the
Generations II building that doesn't have quite the problems and rolling that
together with the Generations I building to try to get the figures to come out.
We're still not coming out. We're not even close.
Bird: Now you're going to have basement and two stories at Mangum's or just
two stories?
Benoit: Two stories.
Bird: Not a basement?
Benoit: No. I agree, $12,000 is not a whole lot. But in this case, it's starting to
be a whole lot. It's also the nervous-Nelly investors that's sitting back there and
looking at this and saying this isn't' going to work. The bank's only going to loan
x-number of dollars because you can only generate x-number of dollars in
revenues. It's a catapulting thing. I guess I'm here as a messenger to tell you
that the project is in grave jeopardy if we nickel-and-dime it to death. I'm asking
you to not to do that. It just isn't worth it. The City stands to gain a whole lot

more. I can agree with you, and if it were my money, I'd say to the heck with it.
$12,000 doesn't make that much difference. In this particular case, under the
circumstances, it's going to make a difference.
Bird: The thing I look at, too, and from the City's standpoint, from the
Councilman standpoint, Mayor, I look at every year that we don't have those
buildings up, we're losing tax dollars. So, you know, that building can pay more
than $12,000. We're kind of both sitting here fighting over something that really
isn't a matter on the overall project. It matters to us on our Generations Plaza. It
matters to you on your two buildings. That's why I think we could probably reach
a center point of where we have to be. I don't know where the Parks and
Recreation if they've thrown some numbers together or if they went back and
looked at what the actual costs are going to go and from there. I don't know how
they did it. I know they're very good people, and I would think they would. I for
one don't want to see - I think we're also helping you guys out by a variance in
parking and stuff like that. You're helping us with the downtown development.
Benoit: We will all like to continue to work together on it.
Bird: I thought we were getting along great.
Benoit: And we were. We have been up until this last go around with this last
list of items. The timing was just bad, you know, and it came back that we
thought we had it all put to rest. We're having to tell the investors that we've got
to do this, we've got to do that. These guys are already getting squirmish and
saying why do we have to do that? So, you know, we lose them we lose the
project. I've got to tell you. ('ve had the two investors from our standpoint that
we have other opportunities. We've got a building we could buy in Boise right
now that's going to return about 21 percent. From a financial standpoint those
guys are saying, well, let's put up over there. Let's go do that. Those are the
things that we're fighting with. Again, it's (inaudible). It's $12,000 and not a big
deal. I'm not the sole decision-maker. That's alii can tell you. Help us. Please.
Bird: I've got a question. How do we have a CUP on an existing building when
it's not going to be an existing building?
Stiles: That was what the application had.
Bird: Oh, okay. Now do you have to reapply when you come in with a new one?
There's a big difference between remodeling one and what they're going to have
in it or what it's going to be new.

Stiles: The elevations they proposed would be the same. They did present it to
the Planning and Zoning Commission as having to be demolished and start over.
So they haven't changed anything from when they went from the first public
hearing for at Planning and Zoning Commission.
Bird: Mr. Mayor. Tom, what's your cut on this?
Kuntz: I guess my recommendation on the compromise would be that the
developer be responsible for the improvements to our eight feet of alleyway
because the Planning and Zoning, at the meeting, Shari Stiles' recommendations
were there be a five-foot sidewalk there. The Planning and Zoning Commission
left that up to Gary and myself to come to some kind of understanding on how
that would happen. We've already reached a compromise in that we're allowing
them to use their half of the alleyway for their tables and chairs and retractable
awning. So we're giving them our half of the alleyway to be used as a sidewalk
that was a requirement of their building. So I think a fair compromise would be
for them to pay for the improvements of our eight feet of the alleyway. We could
certainly maintain that area. I don't think that's an issue. I think the other
compromise would be that we would pay for the sidewalk from Idaho to the
alleyway, but they pay for the landscaping along side of their building that would
be contiguous with the patio. Those would be my two recommendations.
Anderson: And we would maintain that landscaping?
Kuntz: We could certainly do that.
Anderson: I mean, we're going to be out there trimming our shrubs. It wouldn't
be that much harder to trim those.
Kuntz: I think the reason that we recommended that they maintain the shrubbery
on the patio is, one, we wanted to make the lease all one, tight package. Two,
we may not maintain that shrubbery in the way that the restaurant leasing the
property wants it maintained because they may want a certain vegetation
blockage for privacy in the patio. So we felt the cleanest way to handle that is to
have them maintain that vegetation around the patio as part of the lease much
cleaner.
Anderson: If we're going to pay for the haircut, they're going to wear their hair
the way we like it.
Kuntz: Right. But I don't mind, as a compromise, for them to - if they pay for the
improvements of the landscaping around the rest of the building, it's going to be
contiguous with those picnic tables there, a further compromise, I don't mind if
we maintain that. But I would still like to see in the lease that they maintain the
area immediately adjacent to their patio. I think that's a good way to go. That
would be my recommendation.

Bird: Mr. Mayor. Tom, I've got one question. I think Gary hit up on it. Being
familiar with restaurants and stuff, I think the biggest trash that's going to incur
around that patio is going to be coming from Generations Plaza at it instead of it
going to Generations Plaza. They will keep that pretty clean and stuff. I think
that most of the trash will be generated by the Generations Plaza.
Kuntz: That's why, if you read No.5, we're not - the statement that we reserve
the right to review the maintenance costs. We're not saying that it's going to
happen. But we wanted to put that in as a safeguard. I think what the
Commission envisioned was that someone, and I've eaten at Smokey Mountain
Pizza, and a lot of people call orders in and then they go pick them up or they
walk in a restaurant and order it to go, and they go out into the Plaza or the
Starbucks people go out in the Plaza with their coffee, and they're welcome in
there. It's a public place. We want that. But if those restaurants and those other
places at a great deal of maintenance as far as little, double, triple garbage
pickup, so forth and so on, then we want to be reasonable to be able to go back
and say, you know, can you help us with these costs. We hope it doesn't
happen, and 90 percent of the restaurant business is going to be inside the patio,
not outside. But we wanted to leave that clause in there so that we've got an
open door in case we need to use it.
Bird: Yeah, because you know, there's nothing saying that we can't go to Pizza
Hut or we can't go anyplace else and bring our food up there. In fact, that's what
I envisioned once we get it done is people doing that whether they go to Smokey
Mountain or walk across to the Sunrise and get a sandwich and take it to the
Plaza.
Anderson: What Tom talked about, is that agreeable with you guys or not
agreeable?
Benoit: It gives me something to go back and say, well, (inaudible)
deWeerd: Sir, can you say that officially? We want it on tape.
Benoit: It does give me something to go back and say we met each other half-
way. I've still got a debate on my hands. I think the other partners are probably
looking for a reason why they don't have to do this because they look at the
returns and say, oh, this isn't so good. Let's go do something else. So, it shows
a spirit of cooperation. We can certainly agree to that. If we can't -
Bird: I think what Tom said, too, also, Gary, is that they'll look at it and if they
don't have to have that, they don't have to have that much. They're - we're
going to be fair with you. You're doing a service to the City by bringing these
buildings. There's no doubt about it. Nobody's going to sit here and tell you

Bird: I hope you can, too.
Benoit: That would be agreeable to us.

deWeerd: Mr. Mayor, does staff have any further questions before we do
anything here? Comments?
Stiles: I know we were addressing all of these comments in both projects, but
aren't we still on just 20? The Idaho Street. Okay. I was just getting clear.

the CUP other than what the Parks Commission said. If he had any issue with.
Okay.

compromise by our Parks Director to be noted. Do I need to be specific, Mr.
Attorney? Okay.
Nichols: At 1 :00 in the morning, please, yes.
deWeerd: Oh no. That the applicant and that compromise was that the applicant
would construct the sidewalk that - oh. We're doing Generations Plaza I, right?
That the applicant would install the landscaping - no. This isn't one. Yeah, but
that's two. That would be in two. Okay. That the applicant would landscape the
area on the side of their building, the west side; that the Parks Department would
maintain the strip from the back of the patio to the alleyway; and that the
applicant would maintain the landscaping surrounding their patio area. I believe
that was all. And that the City would install the sidewalk.

estimation $16,500. $10,500 plus $5,000 software and six to eight weeks. The
other one we didn't get back at all (inaudible)
Bird: Is that one kid, the Troy, is he the one that works on our computers in the
City now? But he's about $500 higher?
*** End of Side 7 ***
Bird: That's considered professional services. You don't have to take the low bid
on that, do you? Have we had good luck with him? Has he - very competent?
Corrie: Yes. WE can them and they're here in 20 minutes. WE go down or
come up and whatever the case may be. (inaudible) real good. Troy, and he's
done our computers. He knows our server, he knows how to do it. (inaudible).
Bird: Empire Computer Consultants? That's for $18,000?
Corrie: Yes.
Bird: Council, to me I don't know anything about web sites or anything else, but it
doesn't sound outrageous or anything. Originally someone told us $30,000. I
think we need it. What do you think, Ron? Mr. Mayor, with that I would move
that we - you instruct the Empire Computer Consultants to proceed with our web
page for $18,000.
McCandless: Second.
Corrie: Motion made and seconded to have Empire do our web page at the cost
of $18,000. Any further discussion?
deWeerd: Does it come out of your budget?
Corrie: Okay. Any further discussion? All those in favor of the motion say aye.

MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
B. City Engineer - Gary Smith:
1. WWTP - Digester/Clarifier Project, Change Order No.3:
Corrie: Gary, you're up.
Smith: Thank you, Mr. Mayor, Council members. This is Change Order No.3 for
the Digester/Clarifier Project. It's for some granular backfill material required
under the building because of the moisture condition problems. It was felt that
the existing material could not be compacted to adequately support the building,
so the import material was ordered to replace it. We'd recommend approval of
the Change Order.
Bird: Is that the $8511.00?
Smith: Yes, sir. $8,511, and there's also an increase in the contract time of 63
days. Again, that was because of the weather.
Bird: This is with Turnkey, right?
Smith: Yes, sir.
Bird: Mr. Mayor, I move that we approve the Change Order with Turnkey, Inc.,
for $8,511 and add 63 days to the back end of the contract for the Mayor to sign
and the Clerk to attest.
Anderson: Second.
Corrie: Motion made and seconded to approve the request for the
digester/clarifier project. Any further discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor
of the motion say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
D. Police Chief - Bill Gordon:
1. NNO Parade:
Corrie: I think the only thing we had left was the Chiefs request he had about
the City sponsoring the National Night-Out.
McCandless: Mr. Mayor, I move that the City sponsor the National Night-Out; to
facilitate the insurance for the parade, and have the Mayor sign and Clerk attest.

Bird: Yau want to put a date on that?
McCandless: July 29.
Anderson: I'll second it.
Corrie: Motion made and seconded for the City to sponsor a night-out on July
29th. Any further discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor of the motion say
aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
Bird; Mr. Mayor, may I say one thing? I know it's late, guys. We looked - I'm
glad there's no public here. We looked like a bunch of clowns tonight because
information not getting to us until the day of the thing and then half the time it not
getting here. I think we need to go back as a Council said a year ago, that if you
can't get it here by the Friday before, don't bring it to the agenda. We looked - I
was embarrassed. I can embarrass myself easily enough, and I don't need any
help. I think that all the departments should be instructed that if we don't have
the things back from the departments or the applicants, tell the applicant to stay
home because they're not going to be on it until the next week. Do you all feel
that way?
deWeerd: Amen.
Corrie: Put a motion - I'll take care of it. Memo put out - do I need to converse
with you?
Berg : Yes. Mr. Mayor, the concern that I have is we prepare the packets on
Friday. Well, the applicants sometimes can't respond until Monday or Tuesday.
What youJre telling me is forget about putting - giving you that information. Tell
then sorry.
Bird: I'm not talking about that.
Anderson: If they haven't-
Bird: When you should have all that stuff when you're putting the packets
together. What I'm saying is when our staff sends on June 6th to the applicant
and then he gets back here and we haven't seen it, and we sit here with nothing
to even look at when the applicant has to bring us up on the recommendations.
We look like a bunch of idiots.

Berg: I understand what you had said, but what you said before was we get
information from the staff and the applicant, and sometimes the applicants don't
get the information to respond. Sometimes they bring them to the public hearing.
Bird: Then they'll - you know what will happen? They'll only get shut down
once, and I'll bet you that they'll have the stuff here on Friday.
Corrie: Our staff has to get the questions to them.
Bird: OUf staff has to get the questions out. It's no different than what we
demand of them to get the stuff here by Friday. We've told the law firm that we
needed them by Friday. We're got to have some time to read over them and
study them. We were an absolute joke tonight.
Corrie: Okay.
Bird: Staff, don't get me wrong. I'm saying Council. I'm not (inaudible). Don't
get me wrong. We're just going to have to stay with our rules. I'm sure other
cities have their rules.
(inaudible discussion amongst Council members)
Bird: Shari, he acknowledged that, but at the same token, Becky has a whole
bunch of stuff out here that we haven't seen of the staff recommendations and
she has to bring it up here and for us to make our motions, we have to sit here to
get the things right, we've got to sit here and do that.
deWeerd: No, Keith, on that one, the applicant is supposed to look at the
recommendation from Planning and Zoning and that is what she should have
been making her comments on.
Bird: We didn't have the recommendations from Planning and Zoning.
deWeerd: Yes, we did.
Bird: Anyway, let's have them here Friday so I can read them over the weekend.
Corrie: Okay. I'll entertain a motion to close the meeting.
Anderson: So moved.
Bird: Second.
Corrie: All in favor?
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES

JUN - 6 2000
CITY OF MERIDIAN
June 6, 2000
Mayor and City council:
The billing department sent out delinquency notices to all customers that were 30
days or more past due this month as the first step to bring the department up to
date with ordinance 9-1-21 which states "The City Clerk shall furnish each
property owner on the first of each month of a statement of the amount due for
water for the preceding month or up to the time that the meter has been read and
for other charges relating to the water system; and if any owner neglects to pay
the water bill by the tenth (10th) day of the month, or shall fail or refuse to pay the
water bill in that time period, the water user's account shall be delinquent."
Due to the large number of customers that are 30 days or more delinquent we
will be doing turn off two days this month, June 14th and June 21 st. The attached
list reflects all the delinquent accounts in books 1 through 32, which will be
turned off on Wednesday June 14th. On June 20th you will receive the delinquent
list for books 33 through 75 that will be turned off the following Wednesday on
June 21 st.
If you have any questions please contact Aly Cooke in the Billing Department.
Thank you,

The ne\v east-\vest street is currently being constructed as a 28-foot \vide road\vay tapering to
40-feet at the intersection with Eagle Road \vith no curbs, gutters or side\valks. The ne\v street
\vill be a future collector street to service the large area of undeveloped land to the south and

B. 011 March 27,2000, the District Planning and Developnlent staff inspected this site and
evaluated the transportation systen1 in the vicinity. On March 31, 2000, the staff nlet as the
District's Technical Revie\v COll1111ittee and revie\ved the inlpacts of this proposed developnlent
on the District's transportation systen1. The results of that analysis constitute the follo\ving Facts

(
C. · In 1997, the District COllducted an access control study for the Eagle Road COITidor (Eagle Road
Access Control Study, MK Celltennial Engineering, Septelnber 25, 1997). TIle access COlltrol
~,,,fl.rea covered in this plan inclllded the segmellt of Eagle Road adjacent to this project site and
recoll11nended that drive\vay access to Eagle Road be elinlinated and that public street
intersections be located at tIle quarter and half mile point. TIle applicallt is cOllstructing all
east/\vest collector road at the quarter Illile locatiol1. Based OIl the findings of tIle Eagle Road
Access Control Study, tIlis site should not have a drive\vay on Eagle Road and the priluary
access to the arterial street system sIlould be provided from tIle new east/\vest collector roadway.
This IO,cation of ne\v collector roadway was also idelltified in tIle Eagle Road Access Control
Study as a tell1porary full-access il1tersection. TIle intersectiol1S will be restricted to rigllt-
in/right-ollt operation as traffic voll~nles on Eagle Road illcreased.
The District previollsly acted on MA-08-99, an elelnentary school site located inlnlediately \vest
of the CUITent applicatioll. TIle school site constnlcted a public street connection to Eagle Road
along this site's SOlltIl property line. The new street was constnlcted along this site's soutll
propeliy as a 28-foot wide roadvvay tapering to 40-feet at the illtersection of Eagle Road.
D.

seetiol1 with curbs, glItters, and 5-foot \vide sidewalks within 58-feet of rig11t-of-\vay.
G.
The applicant should be required to locate driveways on tIle COll1111ercial street a 111illill1unl of 50-

1.1 Determine the normal high groundwater elevation, and submit a profile
of the subsurface soil conditions as prepared by a soil scientist with the
design of site drainage plan.
1.2 Coordinate fire hydrant placement with the City of Meridian Public
, W orlcs Department.
1.3 Provide the Public W or1<.5 Department with information on anticipated
fire flow and domestic water requirements for the proposed site.
1.4 Per Uniform Plumbing Code requirements, each building shall be served
by independent sewer and water services.
1.5 Assessment fees for water and sewer service are determined during the
building plan review process. Applicant shall be required to enter into an
Assessment Agreement with the City of Meridian. In addition to these
assessments, water and sewer "Late Comers" fees will also be charged
against this parcel to help reimburse the parties responsible for installing
the water and sewer mains to their current points.
1. 6 Lighting plans shall ensure that lights do not cause glare or impact
adjacent residential properties or the traveling public, as determined by
the Meridian Public Works Department. The Public W Dries Department
is in the process of determining detailed standards for lighting.
1.7 The conditional use pennit shall be subject to review upon ten days
notice to the Applicant. The conditional use permit shall become null
and void if work does not commence within one year of approval and
construction is not complete within two years from date of approval. The
conditional use permit shall be made transferable from one owner to a
new owner or from tenant to tenant provided uses comply with
Ordinance requirelnents and construction proceeds in accordance with
the approved conditional use pennit.
1.8 One monument sign is proposed for the site. An elevation was submitted
with the CUP application. The sign has a bacl<ground area of
approximately 130 s.f.. The City's draft sign ordinance proposes project
center signs in the L-O zone be allowed a maximum bacl<ground area of
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - Page II of 16
USE PERMIT SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS I J-U-B ENGINEERS, INC.
CAROL PROFESSIONAL CENTER / CUp..OO..020
80 s.f.. A size restriction shall be placed as a condition on this project and
the sign area be reduced to 80 s.f.. No location for the sign was called out
on the Site/Landscape Plan. Applicant shall designate sign location for
review and approval by the Commission. All signage is subject to design
review and separate application to the City.
1.9 The Association's Architectural Review Committee shall establish a
coordinated sign program for all signs within the complex so materials
. complement building architecture style and create a unified, consistent
theme. All signage is subject to design review and separate application to
the City.
1.1 0 _ The maximum allowed building coverage in the L-O zone is 50% per lot.
A couple of the proposed building pads appear close to this maximum.
. The Applicant shall provide coverage calculations for all lots to
. demonstrate compliance with this ordinance. The building envelope sizes
may vary depending on future lot owners, but the general location,
maximum size and orientation for each lot shall be approved with this
application.
1.11 The building pads shown on each lot do not reflect building orientation.
While the proposed elevations are similar for the front and rear,
. Applicant shall designate intended building orientations for Lot 1 and Lot
2, Block 1 (i.e. Eagle Rd. or the cul-de-sac).
1.12 Coordinate the location and sizing requirements of screened trash
enclosures with Sanitary Service Company. Provide a letter of approval

1.15 The minimum parl<ing stall dimensions (as required by Ordinance 11-13-
4.F.) are not met on a majority of the stalls shown on Sheet L1. The
majority meet the minimum 9-foot width but do not meet the minimum
19-foot length. Approval for reducing the length to 1 7 feet where a two
, foot overhang is available but will depend, in part, on the berm ratio.
However, an 18 foot minimum where stalls abut sidewalks shall be
required. The main problem lies with the proposed compact stalls on the
eastern most boundary. Ordinance 11-13-4.G. allows Applicant's to
petition the Commission for compact spaces, but only at a minimum size
of 7 1/2' width and 15' length. These stalls are shown at 13' length.
Extending these stalls by two feet will reduce the drive aisle width from
25' to 23'. Support of a 24' aisle could be approved, but not a 23' aisle.
Additionally, the compact stalls shall be dispersed evenly throughout the
complex and not in a single row. At least 70% of the stalls in this row
should be standard size. The applicant shall address all of these parl<ing
dimension concerns.
1.16 No total off-street parl<ing counts were provided as part of the
application. This must be provided prior to the P &Z Commission
hearing. There are a total of 333 stalls serving all eight (8) building lots,
or an average of 42 stalls per building. The ordinance requires 1 stall per
400 sq. ft. of gross floor area for professional office uses. The 333 stalls
would seIVe approximately 133,000 sq. ft. of office space. The proposed
building pads (single story) are dimensioned at approximately 73,000 sq.
ft. Since individual CUP applications are not being required for each
. future building, all off-street parl<ing requirements shall be met on each
lot. The plan appears to meet the minimum as is, but once the changes
required in #9 above are made, it will impact the total number.
1.1 7 All ADA requirements must be met for each building.
1.18 The parldng row against the east boundary shows fifty-five (55) stalls in a
single row. This is a large expanse of asphalt without any visuaVsoftening
break. At least two (2) landscape islands/bump-outs with dimensions
equivalent to a single stall shall be provided within this row.
1.19 The inclusion of bicycle racIes at each office building shall be required.

1.20 One, three inch (3") caliper tree is required per 1 ,500 s.f. of asphalt area
on the site (excluding rights-of-way). A total of 115 trees are currently
shown for the perimeter landscaping. This appears to meet the ordinance.
However, in order to ensure compliance with this requirement, Applicant
shall submit a calculation of the total amount of proposed asphalt area.
1.21 Detailed landscape plans, including berm height, species, groundcovers,
shrubs and irrigation details shall be submitted with each future
building's Certificate of Zoning Cornpliance/Building Permit application.
1.22 The Applicant shall pay for the opticom traffic signal for the future
intersection on Eagle Road/SH 55, and shall be proportionally reimbursed
for the total cost once tl!e l<leiner property to the south develops.
1.23 That the Meridian School District shall be added to the Plat which
proposes to construct a new, public cul-de-sac and which shall connect the
office complex to the 66-foot collector road serving River Valley
Elementary School. The first 250 feet of the cul-de-sac is not located
within the Applicant's property and that 250 feet lies within the Meridian
School District's property boundaries. Therefore, the Meridian School
District shall be added to the Preliminary Plat as a signatory on the plat,
providing their consent as property owner to this 60 feet of public right-
of-way dedication.
1.24 The total project has 87 more parking stalls than required by ordinance,
and therefore, the Applicant shall be allowed to eliminate the compact
parldng spaces.
3 . That the City Attorney draft an Order Granting Conditional Use Permit in
accordance with this Decision, which shall be signed by the Mayor and City Clerk and
then a conformed copy shall be served by the Cleric upon the applicant, the Planning
and Zoning Department, Public W or1(s Department and City Attorney and any
affected party requested notice.

At some point in the past, the City paid for equipment and deferred the
contribution that was due from the Rural District. The Rural District has now paid
to the City that deferred contribution and the attached AddendulTI needs to be
presented to the Council for approval, so that it Inay be attached to the appropriate

suggest that you put this on the agenda for June 6, 2000.

Mayor and City council:
The billing department sent out delinquency notices to all customers that were 30
days or more past due this month as the first step to bring the department up to
date with ordinance 9-1-21 which states "The City Clerk shall furnish each
property owner on the first of each month of a statement of the amount due for
water for the preceding month or up to the time that the meter has been read and
for other charges relating to the water system; and if any owner neglects to pay
the water bill by the tenth (10th) day of the month, or shall fail or refuse to pay the
water bill in that time period, the water user's account shall be delinquent."
Due to the large number of customers that are 30 days or more delinquent we
will be doing turn off two days this month, June 14th and June 21 st. The attached
list reflects all the delinquent accounts in books 1 through 32, which will be
turned off on Wednesday June 14th. On June 20th you will receive the delinquent

(
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The City Council talces judicial notice of its Zoning, Subdivisions and
Development Ordinances codified at Title 11 Municipal Code of the City of Meridian
and all current zoning maps thereof aI1d the Comprehensive Plan of the City of
Meridian adopted December 21, 1993 Ordinance #629 - January 4, 1994 and Maps.
2. The requirements of Idaho Code sS 6 7 -6509, 6516 and Meridian City
Code SS 11-15-5 and 12-11-3 as evidenced in the record of this matter.
3. The Applicant is Cole / Associates Architects, P.A., whose address is 960
Broadway, Suite 240, Boise, Idaho 83706.
4. The owner of the property is Stewart Laney Benoit, whose address is 910
Main Street, Suite 240, Boise, Idaho 83702
5. The location of the subject property is located in Old Town at East 1 st
Street and Pine Avenue, Meridian, Idaho.
6. The legal description of the property appertains to the real property that
is included within the Vicinity Map as appears in the record of proceeds of this matter,
and is described as follows:
Lot 17, 18, 19, and 20 in Block 5 of Amended Plat of Townsite of Meridian,
according to the official plat thereof, filed in Bool<- 1 of Plats at Page 50, records
of Ada County, Idaho, together with that part of vacated East Pine Avenue
adjacent as shown in Ordinance 872, City of Meridian, Idaho.
7. The present land use of subject property is presently zoned as (O-T) Old
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND -- Page 2 of 11
ORDER OF DECISION GRANTING A VARIANCE / V AR-OO-008
COLE / ASSOCIATES ARCHITECTS. P .A. / GENERATIONS PARK PLAZA II
Town District which has been used as retail, but the property is presently being used as
an auto service station in need of repair.
8. The proposed land use of subject property is to develop the subject
property in the following manner: First Floor-Retail and Second Floor-Offices.
9. That a vicinity map, attached hereto as Exhibit "B", consisting of six
pages, of the proposed scale approved by the City Council showing property lines,
existing streets, proposed district and such other items as required have been furnished.
1 o. The Applicant seelcs a variance of the following provision of the Meridian
City Code, S 11-13-5 B. 5., SCHEDULE OF PARI<ING SPACE REQUIREMENTS;
RECREATION OR ENTERTAINMENT and in the O-T zone, which provides as
follows:
11-13-5 B. 5. RECREATION OR ENTERTAINMENT:
TYPE OF USE
PARIGNG SPACE REQUIRED
Bowling alleys
4 for each alley or lane plus 1
additional space for each 100 sq. ft. of
the area used for restaurant, cocktail
lounge or similar use
Outdoor swimming pools, public
or community or club
a) 1 for each 5 persons capacity
plus 1 for each 4 seats
b) 1 for each 30 sq. ft. floor
area used for seating purposes;
or

c) The greater of the above 2 options
Restaurants, nightclubs, cocl(tail
lounges, and taverns
1 for each 200 sq. ft. of floor area
Sl(ating rinl(S (ice or roller slQlting)
1 for each 5 seats
11. All property owners within three hundred feet (300') of the external
boundaries have been notified by mail, and their mailing addresses may be obtained
from the list on file with the Planning and Zoning Department.
12. · The characteristics of the subject property which prevent compliance with
the requirements of the ordinance are that the proposed site cannot hold both the
building and the parking required. Replacing a dilapidated service station with a
building that has the udowntown" scale inherently will create a greater parldng delnand
than the existing use.
13. The minimum requirements of the ordinance that need to be reduced to
permit the proposed use would be the elimination of the requireme11t of 35 spaces:
1 :200 for retail and 1 :400 for office parking. As proposed, the Applicant has 19 off-
street parl<ing spaces and is short by 16 parking spaces.
14. The difficulty or hardship which would result if the requirements of the
ordinance were applied to the subject property is that if the City of Meridian were to
require the minimum off-street parldng standards the building could only be 112 its
current proposed size, (9,533 V.S.F. to 5,000 D.S.F) This would mal(e a two story

/
t.
building very inefficient, so a one story retail building of 3,800 V.S.F. would be the
only logical direction, which the owner feels is not a desirable option for the expense.
15 . The unusual or peculiar circumstances which indicate that regulations of
the ordinance should not be strictly complied with are that this project would
encourage a high density urban downtown that is pedestrian orientated and not
sprawling. The parldng ordinance does not encourage this ldnd of city scape.
16. The special conditions and circumstances that exist are that the property
is bordered by a city parle and contains limited parldng facilities.
17. A literal interpretation of the provisions of the ordinance would deprive
the Applicant rights because many of the downtown businesses in the area have less
than the required parldng spaces.
18. The existence of special circumstances or conditions affecting the
property is that the limited property sizes in the downtown area make it difficult to
provide parking, which is not the fault of the property owners.
19 . Granting the variance would maintain rights which would be afforded to
others in the same situation.
20. The Comprehensive Plan for the Old Town District is to encourage its
renewal and expansion of the Historical core, to delineate a centralized activity center,
medium to high density uses is encouraged, to provide mix of activities necessary to
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND -- Page 5 of 11
ORDER OF DECISION GRANTING A VARIANCE / V AR-OO-008
COLE / ASSOCIATES ARCHITECTS. P.A. / GENERATIONS PARK PLAZA II
(
establish a truly urban city center, but adequate parking and traffic flow is a concern.
21. The variance would allow the owner to maximize the potential site in
order to generate a fair return on investment and to offset the cost of the land and
development costs. The proposed building responds to urban design standards by
providing a mixed use development with pedestrian orientated features.
22. The granting of the requested variance will not be detrimental to the
public's welfare or injurious to other property in the area of the proposed plat, and, in
fact, the development of the plat in accordance with the conditions of approval and the
requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance will prevent the conditions which are the
source of the complaints raised in the public hearing of this matter.
23. The granting of this variance will not have an effect of altering the interest
and purpos~ of the Subdivision or Development Ordinance and/or the City's
Comprehensive Plan for the reasons stated above.
24. The applicant paid the fee established by the City Council for application
vanance.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
1. The City of Meridian has authority pursuant to the enactment of the Local
Land Use Planning Act of 197 5 codified at Chapter 65, Title 67, and in particular, by the

RE: Public Hearing review and Consideration for a Reduction in the parking
Requirements for Generation Park Plaza II to be held 5-2-2000 at 7:30 PM
Since I am a land owner of an Adjacent Property to the Project above, I do have some
great concerns with any allowance of this Variance/ and I am unable to attend, I ask to
accept my written comments.
With the Addition of this Building and the Second Building in this Project at East First
and Idaho and East First and Pine. With the addition of Restaurants and offices, which
will Generate More Parking Requirements for the Old Town Area.
The,Area now is basically OUT of Parking For Employees as well as Customers that
Would Frequent these New Businesses along with the Restaurants."" .
Some way there needs to be an additional amount of Parking for these Projectl it does
look as if they are to add 12 more space in the second Project at East First and Pine,
but 12 More spaces WILL NQT allow as much parking is needed for these project,
either one of them. ".
Therefore" I ask that you decline the Variance and make the developers find some
additional Parking the Same Area that will be available for all employee and occupan~
as well as customers for this Project

RE: Application for reduction of parking requirements for Generations
Park Plaza II V AR 00-008.
Dear City Council Members:
My firm is the property manager for a building located on the corner of 2nd
Street and East Pine Street in Meridian. My clients) Lloyd and Betty Gerber have
requested that I address the application filed for a reduction of parking
requirements for Park Plaza, located on 1 st Street and East Pine Street. The
property I manage for the Gerbers is a mixed-use building with two commercial
tenants and four apartments.. While there is off street parking provided for the
tenants at this property~ patrons and guests often times have to seek street parking.
During normal business hours, there is a dearth of available street parking as the
neighboring business and residences absorb the parking spaces.. If Generations
Park Plaza II receives approval for their application, the current shortage of
parking will be acerbated. Our proposed solution to this problem is to post one
or two-hour parking limits on the street. If this control were implemented, my
client would have no objection to the Application.
Very truly yours,
,....

breeding problem; and it is suggested that stormwater be pretreated
through a grassy swale prior to discharge to the subsurface to prevent
impact to groundwater and surface water quality; that engineers and
architects should obtain current best management practices for
stormwater disposal and design a stormwater management systelTI
that is preventing groundwater and surface water degradation.

Practices For Idaho Cities And Counties. Prepared by the
Idaho Division Of Environmental Quality, July 1997.
1.3.2 Stormwater Best Management Practices Guideboole. Prepared
by City of Boise Public Worles Department, January 1997.
1.4 The N amp a & Meridian Irrigation District has reviewed the plans
for this project. The overall concept of this project for this phase
appears to be adequate. One concern pertains to the storm drainage
as it appears to be designed for the lOa-year event although if the
District is to receive any storm water bacle into its system, it will
need to he designed for the 25-year event.
The plans also indicate a 54" culvert to be placed in the Pivemile
Drain and later a bridge to be constructed. Pertaining to the culvert,
the District will need to review the bridge plans for approval, when it
is available. The District will need a license agreement for both
storm water discharge and encroachment if the plan is to discharge
return flow bacl( into the Pivemile Drain.
Pertaining to the pressurized irrigation system; everything appears to
be acceptable with the exception of the loop located at the southeast

comer, which appears not to be looped. This will have to be changed
so the entire system is looped.
The District also needs a completed contract for the operation and
maintenance of this system signed by the developer. It will be
presented to the District's Board of Directors with the other license
agreement for their consideration.
Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District's approval be a condition
before the signing of the final plat.

completed and/or the appropriate letter of credit or cash has been
issued guaranteeing the completion of off-site and required on-site
improvements.

From:
Re:
Request for Final Plat for WOODBRIDGE SUBDIVISION j 164 Single-family Lots
on 50~9 Acres by Woodbridge Community LLC
We have reviewed this submittal and offer the following comments, as conditions of the
application. These conditions shall be considered in full, unless expressly modified or deleted
by motion of the Meridian City COUlICil:
SITE SPECIFIC COMMENTS
1.. The proposed domestic water system for this development, as analyzed by our computer
model, should provide water pressures in the low 40 to mid 50 PSI range.. The computer
modeled water volume and pressure should provide a fire flow of 1000 GPM and meet the
20 PSI resid~ re.quirements. The analysis also indicates that looping the 12 inch diameter
water main in Locust Grove to Franklin Road will not significantly improve normal system
pressures. We strongly feel that customers will view the system pressures as borderline, even
though they exceed the minimum standards established by the State of Idaho Department of
Environmental Qua1ity~ Connecting this subdivision to the higher city system pressure zone
currently serving the St. Luke's area would raise system pressures by approximately 30 PSI.
Currently there is not an easy way to connect this subdivision with the higher pressure zone
in Magic View Subdivision. With the construction of Phase 2 of this development, a
connection will be required to the main in the Magic View Subdivision~ At that time, Phase
1 of this development will be valved-offfrom the low-pressure zone in S.. Locust Grove Road..
Applicant will be required to construct the necessary piping/valving with this development to
accommodate this future conversion. Applicant shall be requrred to disclose this low water
pressure situation to builders/residents..
2. Add minimum house sizes to the plat and indicate that minimum sizes are exclusive of
garages.
3.. Delete references to MCUP-9.9-037 on the plat and show table of setback requirements
directly on the plat as requested during the preliminary plat stage.

4. Please add and/or revise the following notes:
Any resubdivision of this plat shall comply with the applicable zoning regulations in
effect at the time of the resubdivision, or as allowed by conditional use.
This subdivision is subject to the terms of a development agreement recorded as
Instrument No. , Ada County, Idaho.
Provide a note with language acceptable to the Ada County Highway District
regarding heavy- versus light-duty maintenance responsibilities of all storm
drainage easement areas.
The owner of each lot, across which passes an irrigation/drainage ditch or pipe, is
responsible for the maintenance thereot: unless such responsibility has been assumed
by an irrigation/drainage district.
The bottom elevation of house footings shall be set a minimum of12 inches above the
highest established normal groundwater elevation.
Building setbacks from connnon driveway lots shan be a minimum of20 feet from the
edge of the built common driveway, or property line, whichever is more restrictive.
(Remove this notation under "Common Driveway Lots" heading.)
Add a note indicating ownership and maintenance responsibilities for common lots.
5.. Provide five-foot-wide side yard easements for public utilities, drainage, and irrigation for all
Type "B", "c" and "0" lots, and provide easements to the satisfaction of each of the affected
utilities for all Type "A" lots..
6. Street names as shown are not approved by the Ada County Street Name Committee.
Woodbridge Drive is a duplication of the name of a private street in Boise, and applicant is
requesting City Council approval to use the name. Fire CbiefKenny Bowers has verbally
indicated he has no objection to the duplication. Police Chief Bill Gordon should provide
input on this issue.
7. Sanitary sewer service to this site will be via the existing trunk main that traverses through
the development. Applicant will be responsible to construct lateral sewer mains to and
through this proposed development. Installation of a sewer line in Locust Grove will be
required so as to provide service to adjacent property through this development. Subdivision
designer to coordinate main sizing and routing with the Public Works Department. Sewer
manholes are to be provided to keep the sewer lines on the south and west sides of the

roadway centerline. Applicant will also be required to extend an eight-inch sanitary sewer in
a 20-foot-wide easement somewhere in the vicinity of Lots 83 and 84, Block 6, to provide
sewer access to an isolated portion of the adjacent Locust View Heights Subdivision.
Applicant to include a note on his development plans to retain and protect the all-weather
gravel access to the City of Meridian's Five Mile Creek Sanitary Sewer Trunk Line in
, accordance with the provisions of the recorded sanitary sewer easement.
8. Water service to this site will be via extensions of the existing main in Locust Grove Road
from its intersection with Central Drive, or from its intersection with Franklin Road
Applicant will be responsible to construct the water mains to and through this proposed
development. Subdivision designer to coordinate main sizing and routing with the Public
Works Department.
9. Five Mile Creek and the defined wetland tnbutary of Five Mile Creek are excluded from the
piping requirement. All other ditches are to be tiled.
10. A perimeter fencing pl~ and detailed landscape plan for Locust Grove Road as well as a
typical landscape plan for pedestrian pathways~ wetland areas, stormwater retention ponds,

11. Assessment fees for water and sewer service are detennined during the building plan review
process. Applicant shall be required to enter into an Assessment Agreement with the City of
Meridian for the clubhouse portion of the development. In addition to these assessments, "late
comers" fees for sewer, and possibly water, will be charged against this parcel to help
reimburse the parties responsible for installing the water and sewer mains to their current
points. This applicant may submit a written request to the City Clerk's office for the City to
enter into a late comers agreement for those portions of sanitary sewer and water mains that
they will be installing as part of their project that will benefit other lands.
12.. Applicant has not indicated whether the pressurized irrigation system within this development

that pressurized irrigation systems be supplied by a year-round source of water.. If a creek or
well source is not available, a single-point connection to the culinary water system shall be
required.. If a single-point connection is utilized, the developer shall be responsible for the
payment of assessments for the common areas prior to signature on the final plat by the
Meridian City Engineer.. If City water is proposed as a secondary source, developer shall be
responsible to pay water assessments as determined by the City Engineer for the entire
common open area
13.. The conditional use permit approved for this project includes a multiple use pathway along
Five Mile Creek.. This pathway is proposed to be public at such time as adjacent properties
are developed, extending the pathway. The City of Meridian shall work with applicant to
secure a license agreement with the Nampa and Meridian Irrigation District for a pathway
along the Five Mile Creek.. Said agreement shall be between O'Neil Enterprises, Inc.., and the
N amp a and ~leridian Irrigation District. If required by the Nampa and Meridian Irrigation
District, the applicant shall be required to provide liability insurance for the pathway until such
time as it becomes part of a larger public pathway system If and when the pathway is deeded
to the City as part of a larger public pathway syste~ the City would then assume liability and
rriaintenance responsibilities.. Applicant shall provide the easement for a future public pathway
along Five ~file Creek on the plat..
14.. The open detention ponds shown on the drainage plan show that a significant portion of
the area proposed as common open area during the conditional use process is now
proposed for drainage detention. The drainage plan also shows these detention ponds as
being eight feet deep.. Detailed plans of these ponds will need to be reviewed to determine
if these areas are indeed usable as common area by all residents of the development..
Detention ponds shall be designed such that accumulated water is disposed of within a 24-
hour period. The City has been experiencing problems with groundwater in drainage
areas, particularly those without an outflow to an existing drainage system.
15. Applicantms engineer will be required to submit a signed, stamped statement certifying that
all street finish centerline elevations are set a minimum of three feet above the highest
established normal groundwater elevation.
16.. Several lots on the preliminary plat map indicate that they are within the lOO-year
floodplain.. The preliminary subsurface evaluation report prepared by Strata, Inc.., dated
June 28, 1999, states on page 5 under Opinions and Recommendations, oWe recommend
that residential development be restricted to areas outside the 1 00- year floodplain.. p
Several of these lots are also impacted by wetlands.. Please provide plans and applicable
agency approvals for any modifications to the floodplain and wetlands areas. Compaction
test results must be submitted to the Meridian Building Department for all lots impacted by
filling.

17 .. Applicant shall comply with all provisions of City Ordinance Section 11-11 pertaining to
the Floodplain Overlay District. Conditions that may be required by the Commission in
approving the use of structures in a Floodplay Overlay Zone shall include:
a. Limitations on periods of use and operation;
b. Imposition of deed restrictions;
c. Location and arrangement of structures within the floodway and floodway fringe
areas to avoid an increase in flood heights during the recurrence of the 100- year
flood discharge;
d. Requirement for construction of channel modifications, dikes, levees and other
protective measures;
e. Placement of survey benchmarks; and
f. Floodproofing measures.
The evaluation of the effect on a proposed use in the tloodway and floodway fringe areas
causing increase in flood heights is based not just on the effect of the single use acting alone,
but upon the reasonable assumption that other landowners within the floodplain may need to
be allowed to develop to an equivalent extent within the floodway and, therefore, the
accumulative effects of all such encroachments must be considered by the Commission in
making any decision
18. Several needed details are missing from the plat. Due to the numerous notations made on
the plat, the Public Works Department will supply the applicantms engineer with a
redlined copy of the plat submittal so the required corrections and details can be provided.
19. This project is subject to all terms of the development agreement and conditional use
permit as approved by the Meridian City Council.. Staffms failure to cite specific
ordinance provisions or terms of the approved conditional use permit does not relieve
Applicant of responsibility for compliance..
GENERAL COMMENTS
1.. Any existing irrigation! drainage ditches crossing the property to be included in this project,
shall be tiled per City Ordinance 12-4-13. Plans will need to be approved by the
appropriate irrigation/drainage district, or lateral users association, with written
confirmation of said approval submitted to the Public Warks Department.
2. Any existing domestic wells and/or septic systems within this project will have to be
removed from their domestic service per City Ordinance Section 9-1-4 and 9-4-8 . Wells
may be used. for non-domestic purposes such as landscape irrigation.

Re: Woodbridge, Final Plat
Dear Mayor Corrie and City Council Members:
In response to the Staff report prepared for the Woodbridge Hearing on June 6, 2000, O'Neill Enterprises,
Inc. (GEl) would like to submit the following comments and points of clarification on behalf of
Woodbridge Community LLC. We have had the opportunity to discuss our concerns with staff and have
come to an agreement on a number of modifications. Below you will find a summary of our concerns and a
list of modified conditions is attached as Exhibit A. Please note that we are in general agreement with the
comments/conditions not addressed in this letter in that they are generally consistent with the Conditional
Use Permit and Development Agreement previously approved for the Woodbridge Community.
Site Soecific Comments:
1. GEl recognizes Staff's concern that the water pressure available to serve Woodbridge is marginal
even though it surpasses the minimum standards of the Idaho Department of Environmental
Quality. Furthermore, OEI is supportive of a future connection to the "high zone", currently
serving the St. Luke's area, in order to improve water pressure for the residents of Woodbridge.
We do feel however, that placing a requirement for a connection to the "high zone" should be
made if and when future phases dictate the need for the connection. Having said that, we feel that
the necessary provisions for this future connection should be addressed in Phase 1, as they would
need to be constructed as a part of the infrastructure for Phase 1. Discussions with staff revealed
that they are in agreement and that they would be supportive of modifying the condition as
described above.
4. 4 th note: Staff and the applicant agree that this note should include "lateral users association" in
identifying parties that can assume the responsibility and maintenance for irrigation/drainage
facilities.
5. OEI would like to avoid providing utility easements on all side yard areas wherever possible.
Discussions with Staff revealed that the requirement was suggested in order to accommodate the
service providers in Woodbridge, but they did not see a need for the easements if the service
providers did not require side yard easements. Staff supported OEI's suggestion of wording the
condition to require side yard easements "where necessary".
12. Section 2.14 on page 7 of the fmdings of fact for the preliminary plat approval included an
additional sentence on this condition that read: "Staff shall work with applicant to determine the
common area irrigation assessments." Staff and OEI agree that this language should be consistent

with the prior approval and therefore should be included in the conditions of approval for the fmal
pIa t.
13. Granting an easement to the City of Meridian for a pathway along Five Mile Creek is premature at
this time as the exact location has not yet been defmed in the plan and because it will not become a
City pathway until some time in the future upon connection to a larger pathway system. Staff and
OEI agree that the provision of a pathway is sufficiently addressed by the conditions of approval
for the Conditional Use Permit and that an easement can be recorded at a later date.
In addition to the comments made above, GEl would like to reiterate our desire to use Woodbridge Drive as
the name for the main east-west roadway within the Woodbridge community and would appeal to Council
to consider this request. A letter to Staff regarding the justification of this request is attached as Exhibit B.
Thank you for your time and consideration. If you should have any questions, please feel free to contact me
at (208) 336-3430.
Sincerely,
Vffi,td., o.

Exhibit A
Modifications to Site Specific Comments for Woodbridge Final Plat (FP-OO-008)
As a~eed to bv Staff and Applicant
1. The proposed domestic water system for this development, as analyzed by our
computer model, should provide water pressures in the low 40 to mid 50-PSI
range. The computer modeled water volume and pressure should provide a fire
flow of 1000 GPM and meet the 20-PSI residual requirements. The analysis also
indicates that looping the 12-inch diameter water main in Locust Grove to
Franklin Road will not significantly improve normal water system pressures. We
strongly feel that customers will view the system pressures as borderline, even
though they exceed the minimum standards established by the State of Idaho
Department of Environmental Quality. Connecting this subdivision to the higher
city system pressure zone currently serving the St. Luke's area would raise system
pressures by approximately 30 PSI.
Currently there is not an easy way to connect this subdivision with the higher
pressure zone in Magic View Subdivision; however, the applicant shall be
required to construct the necessary piping/valving with the development of Phase
1 to allow for a future connection to this system if/when it is determined to be
nec~ssary for future phases. Applicant shall be required to disclose information on
the water system planned for this development to homebuilders and future
residents in the Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (C,C, & R's).
4. (4th Note): The owner of each lot, across which passes an irrigation/drainage
ditch or pipe, is responsible for the maintenance thereot: unless such
responsibility has been assumed by an irrigation/drainage district or water users
association.
5. Provide easements, where necessary, for public utilities, drainage and irrigation to
the satisfaction of each of the affected utilities for all lots.
12. Applicant has not indicated whether the pressurized irrigation system within this
development is to be owned and maintained by the homeowners association or the
Nampa Meridian Irrigation District. If the system is being proposed as a private
system (H.O.A.), plans and specifications for the irrigation system shall be
reviewed by the Public Works Department as part of the development plan review
process. A draft copy of the pressurized irrigation system O&M manual must be
submitted prior to plan approvaL The City of Meridian requires that pressurized
irrigation systems be supplied by a year-round source of water. If a c~eek or well
source is not available, a single-point connection to the culinary water system
shall be required. If a single-point connection is utilize~ the developer shall be
responsible for the payment of assessments for the common areas prior to
signature on the final plat by the Meridian City Engineer. If City water is

proposed as a secondary source, developer shall be responsible to pay water
assessments as determiped by the City Engineer for the entire common open area.
Staff shall work with the applicant to determine the common area irrigation
assessment~
13. The conditional use permit approved for this project includes a multiple use
pathway along Five Mile Creek. This pathway is proposed to be public at such
time as adjacent properties are developed, extending the pathway. The City of
Meridian shall work with the applicant to secure a license agreement with the
Nampa and Meridian Irrigation District for a pathway along the Five Mile Creek.
Said agreement shall be between O'Neill Enterprises; Inc. and the Nampa and
Meridian Irrigation District. If required by the Nampa and Meridian Irrigation
District, the applicant shall be required to provide liability insurance for the
pathway until such time as it becomes part of a larger public pathway system. If
and when the pathway is deeded to the City as a part of a larger pathway system,
the City would then assume liability and maintenance responsibilities.

Dear Shari,
As a follo\v up to our conversation earlier today, I am writing this letter to inform you of the status of the
street names approved for Woodbridge.
Due to the concern expressed by the emergency service providers in the City of Meridian, we have revised
our initial street name proposal (of a single street name in each loop) and complied with the strict
interpretation of the Street Name Ordinance. This means that there will be five separate street names for
each "'Loop" road within Woodbridge.. We subsequently had this proposal, along with.specific street names,
approved by the Street Name Conunittee at their meeting on May 11, 2000.
This approval, however., did not include the use of "Woodbridge Drive". The committee had reconunended
against the use of this name., as it would be duplicated in the city of Boise. We were informed by the
committee that they were required to make a reconunendation of denial in all situations of duplicated,
similar or sound alike names. Ho\vever, they also informed us that the recommendation could be appealed
to the City Council if we did not agree with it
After a review of the situation in \vhich that name is used, \ve have decided to appeal this matter to the
Meridian City Council for the foIlo\ving reasons:
· uw ood Bridge Lane", in Boise, is private rather than public,
· It is located in a developed portion of town and will never be extended,
· It is approximately 200-feet in length and bas very few properties addressed off of it,
· And, discussions with the Meridian Fire Chief, Police Chief and a Public Works official revealed
that there wasn'lt any concern with the duplication as it would be in a different jurisdiction.
We feel that the reasons mentioned above are justification for the use of this name in addition to the fact
that community will be known as ""Woodbridge" and it is logical to have the consistency of the main street
in the development carrying the same name. Approval of this appeal will be good for the identity of the
Woodbridge Community as well as the City of Meridian. If you should have any further questions, please
feel free to contact me at (208) 333-241 I.
Sincerely,
