MERIDIAN CITY PRE-COUNCIL MEETING
JANUARY 18. 2000
The Pre-Council meeting of the Meridian City Council was called to order at 6:40
p.m. on Tuesday, January 18,2000 by Mayor Robert Corrie.
Members Present: Robert Conie, Tammy deWeerd, Cherie McCandless, Keith
Bird, Ron Anderson.
Others Present: Bill Gigray, Gary Smith, Kenny Bowers, Shari Stiles, Bill
Gordon, Tom Kuntz, Will Berg.
Corrie: Okay. I'll open the special session on Pre-Council meeting at 6:40 p.m.,
January 18, 2000. Council, your pleasure on the questions. Staff? Mr.
Anderson.
Item D.
Tabled 1/412000: Findings Of Fact And Conclusions Of Law:
Request for annexation and zoning of 150.79 acres of land for R-4
zoning by Bear Creek, LLC - east of Stoddard Road and south of
Overland:
Item E.
Tabled 1/412000: Findings Of Fact And Conclusions Of Law:
Request for preliminary plat for proposed Bear Creek Subdivision of
326 single-family dwelling lots by Bear Creek, LLC - east of
Stoddard Road and south of Overland:
Anderson: Bear Creek_ What do we do with that? That's on Consent Agenda,
isn't it?
Corrie: Good question. Mr. Smith. I guess you're up - I think you sent us a
memo the 18th that we need to find out what you had in mind there and what
procedures we need from Bill to - what we need to do, what we should do.
Smith: Thank you, Mr~ Mayor and Council members. I was just wanting to get a
couple of clarifications on the Findings of Fact_ I think I listed those on my
memo_ It was a concern that I've got with some of the verbiage, the meanings of
some of the YJOrds along with the statement that the Black Cat Trunk sewer fee
was going to be $1500 per lot, and that has not been established absolutely yet_
That was an estimate at the time that the testimony was taken. I'd really rather
see, hopefully, a different type of language that does not establish that fee to be
$1500~ I'm not sure what the number is, but I'd rather have the flexibility at this
point to make a final determination in the very near future. I think my other
comments were mostly just my thoughts on some of the \^lOrds that Vv'9re used as
to whether they were or this project was disturbing to others and whether or not it
was going to cause excessive traffic. I believe it will. I believe that it is disturbing
to others. I just vvondered if there were better words that could be used. I think
this is kind of canned, shouldn't say canned, typical language with these for
['

Findings. I'm not sure that maybe Bill could comment. I think that was the crux
of my comments, Mayor, Council members.
Corrie: I think there is a couple places there, too, that acreage was YJrong.
Smith: Oh, yes, sir. Correct. For some reason or another, I don't know where
the 150 acres came from, but the legal description has 154 acres as it's
described and as a part of the Findings. I would assume that perhaps maybe the
- I talked to Bruce Freckleton and he thought that maybe the rights-of-way had
been taken out of the annexation description to get to the 150 acres. But the
annexation should include the rights-of-ways and should include all of the
property in that legal description. Thank you.
Bird: Mr. Mayor. Gary, I see in the deal that they've got approximately, the
developer (inaudible) to pay approximately $1500. It doesn't say a flat $1500 in
this one~ They also have changed it to the O'Mlers of Lot 1 have indicated their
desire to donate to the public a park. Well, who is Lot 1? Who are the owners of
Lot 1? That's what I mean. Yeah. They've taken - this is the thing that JoAnne
sent back to Bill. Bill has sent on to us. Maybe you haven't seen it, Gary. I don't
know.
Smith: No, I haven't, Councilman Bird.
Bird: Would you have any problem with it being approximately $1500?
Smith: No, sir. I 'NOuldn't have any problem with the W'Ord approximately being
added to it.
Bird: Mr. Mayor. I don't know how the other Council members feel, but I think
we definitely need to take this off of the Consent Agenda and if we want to put it
towards the end or at the end of the other one, or if we have time, run into it, it
would be fair to me, but I think there's some - looks like to me they're trying to
change some stuff that we passed. If they want to do that, they have to start
back through the process as I understand the process.
Corrie: Some of the things, too, Mr~ Bird, I think they're trying to change the
preliminary plat that we already approved.
Bird: That's right.
Corrie: According to Mr. Gigray's letter, I think that they also want the City to
develop the park, park fees.
Bird: Well, that's what I kind of take it here, too. I don't - not being a lawyer and
the way these lawyers vvrite, it's hard for us laypeople to understand, but I kind of
got that idea, too, that they might want us to fund that out of our Impact Fees~

Corrie: Mr. Gigray.
Gigray: Mr. Mayor and members of the Council, as I understand the procedure
at this point, you have before you Findings which our office has prepared
because you have closed the public hearing. You haven't taken any final action,
at least according to my records, and I would defer to the City Clerk because he
has the official records which means that these Findings have not yet been
adopted, but you have closed the public hearing which means that you've closed
off the receipt of any new evidence and testimony concerning facts relative to
these two proposals. If you want to go ahead and deliberate and make a
decision based on only the evidence that has been presented at the hearings
other than argument that would be submitted, then you can proceed to make
whatever decisions you feel the evidence would support. If you want to receive
additional evidence on some of the issues that have been raised here regarding
matters about why a requirement to dedicate the park is not advantageous to the
developer because I believe of IRS regulations issues regarding the accredit
against what I would assume are Impact Fees for the park for its dedication and
development and some of these other matters, it seemed, at least to my
knowledge, outside of the motion that was made by Council directing me to make
the Findings. That's why I recommended in my memo to the Council that if you
want to get into these matters that you probably should reschedule this for a
public hearing and someone vvould need to open it back up for a public hearing
and then give notice so that everyone else can appear and testify if they have a
position on it. As far as the issues concerning the Findings relative to
infrastructure issues, I had to in this particular one prepare Findings in light of
what I felt was the motion made by the Council. We had to 'NOrk from the
Planning and Zoning recommendations which that motion directly related to~ I
believe in my memo to the Council specified those areas of the
recommendations that I left out because I felt that they were contradictory
because of the recommendations from the Planning and Zoning Commission
induded all of Public Works' Comments, some of which I think would gravitate to
a denial of this project. You're the ones that make the Findings. As long as you
feel the evidence produced at the hearing supports whatever Finding you end up
voting for, then you can make whatever changes you want to. Or if you want to
delve into these subjects in more particular traffic and other things that have
been raised, then my advice would be open it back up to a public hearing and re-
advertise it and re-address those issues at that time_
Corrie: Comments, Council?
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor. To understand this a little bit more, if we keep it on the
Consent Agenda and approve it as written with the changes that Gary has
specified, because they don't change content, it's just corrections, correct?
(
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeb,.~
January 18, 2QCX)
Page 4
(
Gigray: In my view, some of the Findings with regards to traffic issues might
pose other issue to the approval of this application which was the heart of the
emotion that was made. I would need specific direction from you as to what you
would be advising me to change the Findings so that they VtJere worded in the
way that you wanted them worded and which ones. See, I can't just make these
up. I have to go from the record that is made and from the motion that's made.
That's what I try to do as best I can. So I need specific directions - you have, the
Council has numerous times in the past made corrections in those Findings, and
you just tell me in your motion what those corrections are so when we resubmit
them to the Clerk, they include whatever corrections you've requested.
deWeerd: So I guess the technical comments like the acreage and the per-lot
sewer trunk line fee if changes to the wording - I guess what I'm asking is if we
correct what could be corrected without re-opening it, they can appeal?
Gigray: Judicial review. The test is whether there's going to be substantial
evidence in the record to support the Finding. If there is, the Court will affirm it.
deWeerd: So we probably should table this until next meeting so that we can
look into those things? Look at the -
Gigray: My advice is if you're going to receive more evidence, testimony and
information other than just argument about what is in the record already, I think
you need to re-open the public hearing, and, in fact, if you're going to hear
argument about whether the Findings should say this or the other, I think you
should give notice to all parties that you're going to entertain such motion so
everybody has an opportunity to argue the record as they see it. That'd be like
me representing a party in a lawsuit and the judge saying I'm going to hear final
argument and I don't get invited. It's a problem. If we're dealing with technical
issues relative to getting just the right acreage or something to that nature, I'm
not too concerned about that as long as we can point the record and know
exactly what it is because I'm just following the recommendations from the
Planning and Zoning Commission, or if we've made a typo, we can correct those
things without any big problem. Or if you feel in your analysis of this that there's
a Finding in there that is flat wrong and that you know the evidence supports
another Finding, you can move that that be changed and we do it. But if you're
going to get - You know, I think the line of demarcation is are 'N8 getting into new
stuff that wasn't presented in the public hearing.
deWeerd: Bill, when you do these, do you - when you do the Findings, do you
also look at the recommendations back to P & Z or do you take that -
Gigray: Depends on the motion that the Council members made.
deWeerd: I don't know, Mr. Mayor, if this is the appropriate place to raise this,
but as I sat on that side of your bench, I was always amazed that you guys never
(
Meridian City Pre-Council Meet...~
January 18, 2CXJO
Page 5
(
knew what P & Z meant in their recommendations. Now I see that you don't
even get their minutes. So I guess now I understand why you didn't know where
P & Z is coming from on their conditions because you don't read the transcripts.
Is there a reason we don't have those?
Gigray: I don't know the answer to that question~ That's part of the record~ The
only thing that my recommendation to the Council is if you get this process so
complicated that you have to or I have to look at 48 different things in order to
draft Findings, there isn't enough time~
deWeerd: But when it came from P & Z and that's why even look for it, when it
came from P & Z, did P & Z say that 'He vvould credit the impact fees to that
park? I don't think we did, but I don't have the minutes to refer back to~
Gigray: There are specific recommendations that are Findings and
Recommendations from Planning and Zoning and if the Council, and many times
has made the motion, that they approve the project subject to the conditions and
Findings of the Planning and Zoning Commission, if that's part of the motion,
then I incorporate those verbatim in your Findings. Except in this case, there
were some recommendations included in the Planning and Zoning Commission's
recommendation that included all of the comments of the Public Works of which
some I felt were contradictory to the motion of approval and I, in my memo to the
Council, I specified what portion of those recommendations I had left out so that
if you disagreed, you'd know what was not included in your proposed Findings
that had been included in the Planning and Zoning Commission's Findings~ Now,
the motion is an alternative motion. If, say, it's a motion to include the
Recommendations of the staff excluding the Planning and Zoning Commission,
then that means I have to go through the file and find out where all those are to
put them together in Findings and Decision and Order~ That's always a more
laborious process because that - that's helpful to me if you're saying just the
recommendations of Public Works or you're saying the recommendations of the
Planning and Zoning Administrator, does that include the recommendations of
the Ada County Highway District and everybody else, and that's why I'm thinking
that this process can work a lot better if when those recommendations and
Findings come out of Planning and Zoning Commission are issued through the
Clerk's office, a letter goes with them as \Nell as a position statement so that the
staff, the developer and affected property owners can fill out a position
statement, and you know what their position is about those Planning and Zoning
recommendations, so you know where the issues are. This needs to be
changed, that needs to be changed, and it's got to be 'JVOrded this way or that
way.
deWeerd: Can this be an item for our workshop?
Corrie: (inaudible) a lot of changes we're going to have a vvorkshop on all of
them.
(

Gigray: See, at this point, as I understand the process, we get a
recommendation or the Clerk's office gets recommendations from the Planning
and Zoning Commission and its schedules along with the Mayor for the matter of
public hearing before City Council so notice can be givena Then you have a
public hearing here. Usually you close those public hearingsa Sometimes you
continue thema Then I'm directed to prepare Findings and submit them to you by
the very next meeting. I have to go off of my notes in order to make that time
table because I cannot wait for the minutes of the meeting because there's
usually quite a bit of transcript and it takes the Clerk's office a fair amount of time
in order to simply physically type all of thata So in order for me to get all of that
back. to you, I have to have that all put together. If I have a motion that's concise
to the record, whatever it is, and if you have a record before you so you can
make your concise motion, the potential for error or whatever is less. If we have
broader scope situations with more and more conditions that could be vvorded
different ways involving more and more information and chances for error or the
chances for different interpretations of what a motion should mean are greater
and greater.
deWeerd: We just need to work on this process. I guess we don't need to go
into detail about this on this one, but what do we want to do with this?
Bird: Mra Mayor, I think we have to pull it and get it back open. They're proposing
to change some substance to our motion. Most of the time, what I've seen, is 'He
usually include the recommendations of the Planning and Zoning, conditions of
the Planning and Zoninga This one we didn't a hundred percent, I don't believe.
We had some in there, but they're changing too much stuff. I certainly wouldn't
want to see it on a Consent Agenda. I think there's some stuff in here that they
should have the opportunity to respond to because we're certainly not - I'm
certainly not going to take what they're outlining and doing it without having
another public hearing myself. I think you have to get it, Mra Clerk, if I'm right, to
get it to an open meeting, we'd have to go to the 15th of February, wouldn't we,
so that we could - be too quick. to go to the first, wouldn't it? So 'Ne'd have to pull
those t'NO and table them until the 2/15 and have a public hearing, open them
back up to a public hearinga I don't want - I feel that vve're playing with the
substance of the Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law on both items. What
I thought was agreed upon. Then when 'He get a letter from the Council marking
stuff out that we did not agree upon, I'm not going to pass something for that.
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor, the other option is to approve them the way we felt, we
voted, or you vateda
Bird: That's righta Then as the attorney said, we can go to court
deWeerd: Judicial review.

Anderson: Mr~ Mayor, I guess the problem with that is we still have some things
that aren't dear on the sewer issues in my mind that I think YJOuld be better off to
table them_
deWeerd: And re-open it.
Corrie: Re-open on the 15th of February. I agree with that, too.
Bird: That's (inaudible) fair to both parties and get it right~ Because they
misinterpreted something (inaudible) or we misinterpreted something, and I don't

comfortable with (inaudible) you could certainly pull those off (inaudible).
McCandless: Mr. Mayor, I have read all of them, and I don't know how
comfortable I am with them, but I have read them all.
Corrie: Mr. Berg.
Berg: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, these two items were tabled because
of the annexation process that needed to be completed before them. Today I did
receive a signed Development Agreement from Woodbridge with the suggestion
of review by the attorney before we put it on the agenda, but the process is we
need to have this signed Development Agreement and then approve the
(-

(
annexation ordinance, and then we can deal with the CUPs. That's what both of
these items involve~
Bird: So we need to pull them to the 1st of February? (inaudible)
Gigray: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, I believe that, correct me, Mr~ Clerk,
if I'm wrong, that the Development Agreement involved Snorting Bull, was one of
the parties, and I have - there's been, as it often happens, and this is something
that I would like to see get more clarified in the public hearings, these
applications where they're anticipating selling the property somebody else. We
prepare these Development Agreements and then they come back and say, well,
we're selling this to so-and-so, so we've got to revise this and put another party
in there, and it's not really been clear in the public record that's going to happen~
We've tried to facilitate that because simply unless the ow.ner was the central
part of the condition which it has not been thus far, but in this particular instance,
I have reviewed that Development Agreement~ I have reviewed the strike-
throughs and they deal with who the party is and their address and those sorts of
things~ It looks okay to me unless I'm looking at the wrong one. Will, you can
correct me. I would think that would be ready to go and the Council could then
move to approve the Mayor and Clerk's signature of that Development
Agreement and that one could move forward at least to the best of my
knowledge.
Bird: How about the - Mr. Mayor, how about the Overland Mini Storage? Same
thing on that? Do we have -
Berg: Mr. Mayor, Councilman Bird, that's the same situation but I have not
received the Development Agreement. I guess a point of clarification to the
attorney, if I may, Mr. Mayor, if the Development Agreements can be approved
tonight or do I need to put them on the next agenda? I wait to put them on the
agenda until I have a signed Development Agreement, and some of these get
lost in the process because of the back and forth of the little changes or the
change of ownership. Just for clarification~
Gigray: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, you know, I think the process
you've been following is fine. We could put the Development Agreements along
with the Findings as an agenda item so when they come back in and if they've
been signed by the developer, Council could go ahead and approve the City
entering into those and maybe what should happen with Item F if it be continued
to be tabled because we don't have a Development Agreement signed, possibly,
the Clerk's office could notice this developer that this is being held and we need
clarification as to what's going on here~ I can't remember now exactly why this
one hasn't been signed~ Was this a change of ownership?
Bird: So we need to table that?

Item 10.
Public Hearing: Conditional use permit to construct a
single-tenant commercial building with a drive-thru window
(Walgreen's) by Hawkins Smith Management, Inc. - NW comer
of Fairview and Locust Grove:
Gigray: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, I just might note on the regular
agenda, and I don't know if the Clerk's office has this, but with Ordinance -
proposed Ordinance 853 on the Solid Waste Collection Services and Franchise,
there should be an agreement also with 581 as a follow-up to that ordinance. I
believe I have gotten a transmittal from their attorney, Mr. Freeman, that they
have, in fact, signed that agreement, and I think we've got a copy of their
corporate resolution. Thafs an item that the Council if it doesn't take action on
tonight should come fairly soon and then I would encourage the Council to take a
look at Items 7 and 8 and 9 and 10, and the Mayor as to 'Nhether or not 7 and 8
and 9 and 10 might be considered a motion to combine those companion
applications for public hearing purposes only. That's something you've tended to
do and can speed up the process subject to consent of the applicants and
anybody appearing.
Bird: Mr. Mayor, getting back to - I've got one question. On Gary's proposal
concerning the latecomers fee, by approving that, is that the proposal, Gary, that
you want to implement? We don't have any real facts and figures on there that I
can see. You've got an approximate and something like that.
Smith: Mr. Mayor, Council members, Councilman Bird, I just wanted to change -
propose that change to the policy. There is not specific language that I wanted
you to approve tonight, but I wanted to get your review and your comments
concerning the format as far as how we return latecomer fees to those that
extend sewer and water lines.
Bird: Mr. Mayor. Gary, don't you believe that is something that we could take
about 10, 15 minutes in the vvorkshop this month and discuss?
Smith: Yes, sir. You bet. Sure could.
Bird: So, would you be offended if we agree with you on this proposal but pull it
from the Consent Agenda and bring it to the YJOrkshop?
(
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeth,~
January 18. 2000

(
Smith: No, not at all. We've got several latecomer agreements in the process of
being finalized, determined, at cetera. I just want to get the language straight in
those agreements so that we can return this fund and it will have to be taken care
of in the agreement with that particular language or that specific language.
Bird: Maybe City Clerk could get us a copy of each one of the Councilmen and
the Mayor a copy of that latecomers fee, generic, I know they're all different, but
the generic agreement to let us look at when 'Ne'ra doing that.
Smith: I'll make you a copy of an example agreement that we presently have
approved and under contract, so to speak, that's operational right now.
Bird: Then we'll put that on the 28th workshop agenda for a short meeting.
Smith: Okay.
Corrie: That's fine~ Anticipating, you being the Council President) we need to sit
down and discuss what we can put on the workshop. We might take a half a day
on some of these things because there's a lot of ordinances coming up~
Bird: I wouldn't have a problem with that, Mayor~
Corrie: Okay. Anything else, any other questions that Council has?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Mr. Gigray, on this Ordinance No. 853, did you say to hold that - you
didn't say that. I just wondered. I didn't think you had, just the agreemenfs
coming in. Okay.
Gigray: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, all I'm saying is we have prepared
an agreement, we have worked with S51 on the terms and conditions of that
agreement. That has been approved all the way around. SSI has taken
corporate action to enter into the agreement, and I'm just saying it is appropriate
in my view if the Council wishes to consider it, that agreement could be approved
following the passage of that Franchise Ordinance.
Corrie: Thank you.
Item 3.
Public Hearing: Request for annexation and zoning (R-T TO R-4)
by Charles Crane -located at 3610 W. Ustick Road:
Anderson: Mr~ Mayor, I had a question on Item 3 that public hearing and the
request for annexation for Charles Crane. Refresh my memory ~ What was the
deal on that one and what \NE}re we waiting on?
(
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
January 18, 2000
Page 12
Bird: The road~ Ada County Highway District (inaudible)~
Anderson: o kay_
Gigray: Mr~ Mayor, members of the Council and Councilman Anderson, as I
remember, the reason that was continued or the reason it was re-opened for
public hearing is that the way the motion had been made on the Findings and the
proposed Development Agreement, it required some kind of dedication of
roadway to the Ada County Highway District, and I think his contention was that
he was not planning any immediate development, so therefore, that condition
shouldn't be operable until development occurred, and I think there was some
language problem there~ It was something that wasn't directly addressed, I don't
think at the time at the other hearing by him, so it was recommended it be re-
opened. Shari may have further background on that, but that's how I remember
it. I think it centered on that one condition, primarily~ It was a condition
requested by Ada County Highway Districta
Bird: I believe that's all been straightened out~
Corrie: Mrs~ Stiles~
Stiles: Mr~ Mayor and Council, that is correct a There were some problems
because of the zoning that he was given if he were to dedicate the additional
right-at-way at this time would have put his lots below the minimum requirements
of that zone. The way that Ada County Highway District comments read was that
upon future development he would be required to meet those conditions, and the
way the Findings were that he had to do that immediately. So that was why the
public hearing is being re-openeda
Item 5.
Public Hearing: Request for vacation of 20-foot emergency
access of Mirage Meadows Subdivision to a new access located
at the end of Oakcrest Drive by Robert Higgins, et al - Block 1,
Lots 16 and 17 of Mirage Meadows Subdivision and Lots 19 and 20
of Chateau Meadows east located at the end of Oakcrest Drive:
Anderson: Just a question for Kenny on Item 5, the request for vacation of a 20-
foot emergency access. The Mirage Meadows Subdivision. The way I read that,
do they want to vacate that whole thing and that it would disappear, but yet, in
your comments, it looks like you vvere talking about they maintain a gate and stuff
like that and I was unclear - it sounded like it was going to go away entirely, but
you were talking about a gate that 'NOuld be kept up.
Bowers: Mayor Corrie, City Council, Councilman Anderson, there is a road right
now that runs right by the Chevron Station. It used to be called Dixie Lane. They
have to maintain that road because there is one house back there where a
gentleman is living. They are going to use that road, put a gate and that's where
(

our emergency access will be used~ They will close down the one you're talking
about completely be'tYleen the MIa houses - be'tYleen the four houses, excuse
me. They will close that completely. We will still have where I believe it's
Oakcrest comes in and meets the old Dixie Lane, we're going to have them put a
gate there. We will still have access to the subdivision, Ron.
Anderson: Okay. Thank you.
Corrie: Any further questions? Okay. We can - I'll entertain a motion to close
the Pre-Council meeting and reconvene at 7:30 for the regular meeting.
Bird: So moved.
Anderson: Second.
Corrie: It's been moved and seconded. All those in favor say aye.

and I; that we pull D and E and send back to open a public hearing on 2/15/2000
and we table Item F. Item G will be coming before us on the 28th in our
workshop.
Anderson: I'll second that.
Corrie: Okay. Motion's made and seconded to approve Item A, Band C, Hand
I; to have Item D and E to be placed - re-opened for a public hearing on
February 15, 2000; and Item G will go onto the workshop on the 28th of this

month, and Mr. Bird, did you want F to be tabled to the next meeting or just
tabled for the night?
Bird: Tabled until February 1st, I believe we -
Corrie: To February 1st.
Bird: Uh-huh. I'm sorry.
Corrie: Any further discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor of the motion
say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
Corrie: Okay. Council, we have a possibility - if Item No. 7 and 8 would be
opened to the public hearing, open those both up as a public hearing to hear the
annexation and zoning and the conditional use permit. Is there anyone that's
here for the Magic View Office Complex have any problem with that? Just a little
timing as far as opening it up together. Just open them together. And Item No.
g and 10, the same thing; open them both up for public hearing at the same time.
They'll be handled differently. Council, does that meet with your approval?
McCandless: Yes.
Bird: Yes.
Item 1.
Reconsideration of Police Grant (hiring two officers):
Corrie: Okay. Item No. 1 on our Regular Agenda is reconsideration of the police
grant, hiring two officers. Chief Gordon.
Gordon: Mr. Mayor, Council members, what I've handed out was a reproduction
of what I handed out the last time I brought this issue before you. One exception
is on the front there. The closing date at that time was December 13th. I have
been able to obtain an extension to January 27th on this grant. Here again, I
bring this back because I think it's extremely important because of the growth of
the City that we accept this grant and put these two officers on the streets as
soon as we can get them out there. The costs to the citizens of Meridian is half
of what it's going to be over a three-year period, and even if we don't use them or
you don't think we need them this year, if we hire them next year, we can't use
this grant. This grant is a continuing grant. We've already hired eight officers on
the grant. I don't know how long they're going to continue funding it. It was just
re-funded again for next year, so I can re-apply at that time for more officers,
manpower. The need is there. I've given you in the facts sheet, some stats. I
was just sitting over here waiting for my return in the front here, and just an
example of what has happened since we started keeping statistics, on Page 7 of
(
Meridian City Council
January 18, 2000
Page 6
8, 1992 we responded or had calls for service 16,416 with 10 police officers
which is 1641 calls for service per officer per year. In 1999, the calls for service
is 79,924. We responded to 1949 calls per officer per year. That's an increase
of 300 calls per officer. The crime rate stays low because of the work of the
people that we have on the streets. They're responding to more calls now than
they did in 1992. I don't look for that to go down. The stats on the previous page
show an estimated population of - the year 2000 I think it was estimated we were
going to be at 28,000 population. The signs outside of town say 36,000, and
they're short. This trend is not going to stop. The growth, and I know all of you
have seen that growth, just continues to go. It's going in all directions. I stress,
and I can't stress enough, the seriousness of the situation, and I feel that the
longer we wait, the farther behind we're going to get, and the harder it's going to
get to get back up to a level playing field. The officer ratio, I've given you several
different estimations for different publications. They show a population ratios
presently, we're drifting on Page 4, we stayed low but evenly low up until '98, and
then we started separating. We're going to get lower and lower as the population
continues to increase. The cost. It's 50 percent - it's 50 percent of an officer for
a three-year period. That starts out 75 percent of wages and benefits. The
second year is 50 percent of wages and benefits. The final year is 25 percent of
wages and benefits. That totals $134,372 that we're going to be able to save by
taking advantage of the officers on this grant. Here again, I can't stress the
seriousness of it. If we do not accept this grant, we will be removed from this
program, and this particular program is the one dealing with officers. Here again,
I have no idea how long it's going to continue. We've been on this program for
the last four years, five years. This year, again, we were the only department in
the state of Idaho to receive this grant, and, here again, it's because of our
growth. They see the growth. The Y2K, they had Boise on national television
touting the fastest growing community in the United States. Well, we're not that
far away from Boise. What happens in Boise, we're going to have to tolerate
also. Once again, I would ask that you reconsider this program and hopefully
accept it. I would stand for questions.
Anderson: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: Bill, you stated earlier in your presentation that you could apply for
this grant again next year; is that - if we don't use it, you can't apply for it?
Gordon: That's correct It's a continuing program, and the COPS program, I
think five years ago, we had to give them an estimation of what we were going to
need each year in the future and then we had to re-apply for each one. The
program ended last year, but it was re-funded again, and that's why I picked up
these two officers here. I just received word that it's been re-funded again for
next year for the year 2000. I can re-apply as long as we take this grant here
because we're still in the program. The departments in Idaho that did not receive
Meridian City Council
January 18, 2000

(
this grant this year are still in the program. If we refuse the grant, we'll be
removed from the program.
Anderson: I thought in our earlier meeting back in June that you had indicated to
us that there would be no penalty, that when you wanted to apply for this grant,
and we told you to go ahead and do that, that you could apply for it and that if we
ended up not using it, then we wouldn't be penalized. I thought you had told us
that we wouldn't be.
Gordon: I don't recall that. My recollection was - my understanding was that if
we did not accept this grant, we would not be allowed to apply for any federal
grant within a three-year period. Then I found out that this only pertains to this
particular grant. If we don't accept this, we're removed from that COPS program.
There are other grants.
Anderson: There are some other grants that would help with manpower?
Gordon: No, sir. Not to my knowledge. That doesn't mean that they're not out
there. Most of the grants right now are equipment grants. We just got another
$3,000 on an equipment grant. We'll get that next week.
Anderson: You came to the City in, what, '89?
Gordon: Yes, sir.
Anderson: And how many officers did we have then?
Gordon: That was 10.
Anderson: And how many do we have now?
Gordon: Forty-one.
Anderson: Was that total personnel or -
Gordon: That's sworn officers. We have ten civilian staff.
Anderson: So we have 51 employees?
Gordon: Yes, sir.
Anderson: How many total employees did we have when you came here?
Gordon: Eleven counting me.
Anderson: Is the WRICOPS assessment or study, has that been completed yet?
(
Meridian City Council
January 18, 2000
Page 8
Gordon: No, sir. It is not. I've called and they've assured me that it'll be done at
the end of January. I've asked Mike Baccar (sic) with the Department of Law
Enforcement, Post Academy, to call. He did and he was also assured that it'll be
done the end of January. We were promised the end of December. I realize
that. We were promised the end of November and then the end of December,
and now it's the end of January.
Anderson: Out of the 51 employees, how many of them are patrol officers?
Gordon: Twenty-eight.
Anderson: Would these additional two employees, would they then make 30 on
the street or would there be two that get re-assigned or .promoted?
Gordon: No. The plan is they would go onto the street patrol answering calls
where the need is right now.
Anderson: And do we have enough equipment, cars and stuff like that, to handle
the additional personnel?
Gordon: We don't have the equipment, and to handle the officers, we have right
now, but we'll make do. We're running cars 26, 27 hours by doubling some of
the shifts up. Friday and Saturday nights are our busiest shifts. The need for the
personnel would far exceed the need for the equipment right now. We're short
on equipment, also, but I'm looking at another grant for that.
Anderson: What kind of items are included in equipment?
Gordon: Cars and just the equipment needed for each particular police officer,
paperwork, tapes, tape recorders, staff to type the reports, files, the ratio of staff
personnel or officer personnel, civilian personnel is also a ratio for the sworn
officers. I haven't even gone into that area yet. We're extremely low in that area
also. There aren't any grants for that.
Anderson: You had indicated to us in the past that you're kind of bursting at the
seams down there in your present facility and, in fact, we've added a portable
building next to the Police Station, and we're in the process of trying to purchase
some land for a new building. Will these two additional officers compound that
problem even more? I mean, do we have more people taking up that space
down there?
Gordon: Yes, sir, it does. But if we don't hire personnel that's needed on the
street because we don't have the space and the building, then when we get the
new building, we're going to have a lot of space and no officers. The workload
will be such at that time that they won't be able to enjoy the new building, and
(
(
Meridian City Council
January 18, 2000
Page 9
they'll be out on the road. Not meaning to be funny, but I can take two officers
and keep them on the street if we don't have room for them in the building easier
than I can take the calls. We're already starting to back up calls. There for a
long time we were able to stay on top of all of our calls. That is changing. We
recently had to restructure our call-out - our calls for service by taking priorities.
Calls that we were taking before we're no longer taking because we don't have
the manpower. One of them was private property accidents, the other one is bad
checks under $500. -We used to take those. We no longer take them because
we don't have the personnel. This happens in - we're not the only one's that
have done this. Boise's had to decide what calls they're going to take for service
and which ones they just don't have the manpower to take. It comes with growth,
and it's just a fact of life. I grudgingly hang onto as much service as we can
provide because I still think we're still a small town, and I think we should provide
that service, but we did give it up recently in those two areas.
Anderson: My last question is, is there a set number of patrol officers that the
department forecasts or determines that they need? I mean, the Council's intent
could be to hire two new individuals to go on patrol, but is there anything that
keeps them there? If you decide that you wanted to reassign eight of these
people and put them in detectives or school resource officers, I mean, what
keeps X-number of officers on the street? Is that strictly a management
decision?
Gordon: Yes, sir. With the increase in the school programs, the schools
themselves, we're putting a new elementary school over here on Eagle, the
school resource program, before we really got into that, the total crime for one
year was 80 percent juvenile, 20 percent adult crimes. We got very active on our
school resource program, and I took a patrol officer, put him into a school, each
school has got a school resource officer at this time, we've lowered that crime
rate back where it should be. Thirty percent of our crime now is juvenile related,
and seventy percent is adult rated. Not that we've had the increase in the adult,
but we've lowered the juvenile crime which automatically raises the adult crimes.
There's no more crimes, but the ratios have dropped. The PAL program, I have
an officer that's assigned to the PAL program which is a youth activity program
which is designed to be proactive and deal with kids at a level prior to them
growing up and becoming criminals. The other programs that we're looking at
right now is the Boys' and Girls' Club. To do exactly the same thing that would
require an officer. By using officers on other programs, I get away from that
hook-them-and-book-them attitude, and cops just take people to jails because
there's no more room in the jails. We look at other areas to eliminate crime. If
we can catch them at a younger age, it's - statistics have proven that we don't
end up with adult criminals. So by utilization of manpower, when you say patrol,
we gauge the calls for service in the patrol area versus the proactive portion of
law enforcement. I can tell you how many crimes there are, but I can't tell you
how many crimes we prevent by having school resource officers. We have
neighborhood watch programs. I can't tell you how many that deters. The
(
Meridian City Council
January 18, 2000
Page 10
programs themselves are crime prevention, and you can't put a number on
those. As the population grows, the actual numbers of crimes also grows.
Without these programs, I would say the numbers that I just gave you would
probably be about double.
Anderson: Okay. Thank you.
Corrie: Any other questions?
McCandless: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. McCandless.
McCandless: Chief, if we did not add anymore new officers, we would find
ourselves in a reactive position rather than in a proactive; would we not?
Gordon: Mr. Mayor, Councilman McCandless, that's correct. As the population
grows, I would be forced into strictly a reactive mode. We would have to respond
to the calls for service faster than what we're already doing.
McCandless: Do you think that the crime rate that's raising all the time in
Canyon County and the problems that they're having in Boise are going to stop
at our borders as we continue to grow?
Gordon: They haven't so far. They're all around us. Our officers are dealing
with the same people that Boise's dealing with; although I think they live in
Meridian and go somewhere else to cause all the problems, but they're still here.
McCandless: So we need to be - at least have a proactive attitude where our
city is concerned and our safety, wouldn't you say?
Gordon: I can give you and the taxpayers more for their money by being
proactive, yes. If we're reactive, then we're taking people to jail and that
increases taxes because you're going to need jails to keep them.
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor, I just have a couple comments and questions. I did a little
bit of background on why it didn't pass last month, and I do understand that there
is a no-hire policy in the City and that the City Council really needs to stand by
that policy. In adding personnel, it - we have growth throughout the whole city.
All of our departments are experiencing it; however, I do believe that our safety
and how safe our public feels should be a priority. I know that you mentioned
youth programs. Can one of these positions be dedicated to your explorers, PAL
and the possibility of a Boys' and Girls' Club if you were to get these positions?
Gordon: One full-time position?
Meridian City Council
January 18, 2000
Page 11
deWeerd: Yes.
Gordon: As you know now, those programs are split up. I personally am
handling the explorer program. Officer Ellis is handling the other programs, and
Officer Chopko is handling the PAL program. I would think if we put it on one
particular officer, we wouldn't get the quality that we're getting right now. Here
again, you'd be taking a police officer and all he would do would be social work.
Police officers are of a nature where they still need a little bit of police work
(inaudible). I get more work out of them that way.
deWeerd: But there are a lot of possibilities in expanding PAL into non-
traditional, non-athletic events. I know there's been some concern that the police
haven't always been able to be on-hand and be visible. Really, that is the
advantage of PAL is really giving them the exposure to the police and giving
them a positive role model and positive experience. So would there be more
time that could be dedicated to those activities?
Gordon: I can't answer that one. I can tell you that would be one of the goals
would be to get more time in some of the programs that we already have. We
have stopped accepting or starting any new programs with the exception of last
Friday which was kind of a surprise to me on the Boys' and Girls' Club activity,
but we have not accepted any new programs. Here again, the safety of the
Meridian citizens would come first, and then what's left would go into the
programs. I can't answer that positively yes. If we were looking at one person
full-time, I think I would have to restructure our hiring program, and I would
advertise for somebody non-commissioned officer, say, a civilian position who
would be schooled in that area dealing strictly with youth recreation and
activities. I think we could do far better that way.
deWeerd: And would these positions be dedicated to the community policing
philosophy?
Gordon: Definitely. The Department is committed to that.
deWeerd: When would they need to be hired, and what would be the effective
date of this grant?
Gordon: The effective date would be as soon as I could get them hired. They
didn't give me a drop-dead date on the actual drawing of the money, just the
signed documents stating that we were going to utilize the grant. We have fliers
out right now to establish an eligibility list; that closes the end of January, we
could be testing the middle of February and hiring probably the middle of March
by the time we finished all of our background checks.
deWeerd: So half way into your budget year?
(
Meridian City Council
January 18, 2000
Page 12
Gordon: Yes.
deWeerd: Then would it be good for a three-year period, so you're going - okay.
Gordon: Yes. We don't lose the grant time. It's a total three-year grant. It would
just extend it out.
deWeerd: Can you go for one rather than both and still qualify for future grants?
Gordon: I don't know. We didn't put in for one. I have no idea.
deWeerd: I know this is a question that I asked last month.
Gordon: I don't recall if you did, and I didn't get you the information, then I'm at
fault there. I don't recall that.
deWeerd: Do you have in your budget the training costs for these two positions?
Gordon: The first year, the six months, no. They would be state-certified officers
so they wouldn't have to go to the Police Academy, and it's free anyway. But,
no, I don't.
deWeerd: So would you be coming in and asking for additional monies, or do
you have the flexibility in your budget to accommodate that?
Gordon: The money that I would need would be the 25 percent match on wages
and benefits which totals $22,000 - a little over $22,000. The other money would
just be taken from within my budget, and, no, there isn't any extras, but there is
flexible areas. We would do without some areas.
deWeerd: Okay. I have no further questions.
Corrie: Anyone else? Mr. Bird?
Bird: No sense in repeating myself.
McCandless: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. McCandless.
McCandless: The community policing program would not only benefit the adult
citizens of Meridian but would also benefit the kids of Meridian; am I correct?
Gordon: That's correct.
(
(
Meridian City Council
January 18, 2000
Page 13
McCandless: You'd have the officers out on the streets more, and they would
interact with the kids as well as other people?
Gordon: That is correct.
McCandless: Okay. No further questions.
Corrie: Hearing no further questions, I will entertain a motion as far as the
reconsideration of the police grant as presented.
McCandless: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. McCandless.
McCandless: I move that we reconsider the grant to hire two new police officers.
deWeerd: Second.
Corrie: Motion has been made and seconded that we reconsider the - doing the
police grant for the two new officers. Any further discussion?
Anderson: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: Just a few comments. Can't argue with Bill. He did a very good job
of articulating with the needs of the Police Department. I would like to commend
the Meridian Police Department. I think you guys are well-respected in the
community and do a great job. The reality of the situation on this is this, though.
The fiscal responsibility part of this falls on the City Council, and as Councilman
deWeerd testified, it's just not the Police Department that is under pressure to
keep up with the growth. It's Parks, it's Fire, it's everybody in the City. Looking
at our budget this year, between the Police and the Fire Departments alone, 72
percent of the City's budget is going to those which is a fairly large investment
that I think the City's putting forward towards public safety in this community.
The reality is we took almost two million dollars out of our fund balance to help
fund some infrastructure for the police and for the fire, and if we get too far out of
balance where manpower costs, labor costs are on-going costs once we hire
these people, then that cost is there every year. We have a tremendous need to
expand facilities from police stations to fire stations to park facilities. If we spend
all of our resources on manpower and on labor costs, then we simply would not
be able to build the infrastructure to house those people. It's going to take a
balancing of the resources to be able to do this. We've already run into some
sizeable increases in what we're looking in land costs and some associated
infrastructure with that, and I'm sure that we're not done with all of those costs.
We have not yet seen the results of the WRICOPS study which I was very
(
Meridian City Council
January 18,2000
Page 14
interested in and would like to see their assessment on the police department
and what some of their recommendations would be. I think we're four months
into this budget year. To be honest with you, there is no fluff in the budget. I
don't know where the extra money would come from to fund these two extra
positions even at 25 percent funding, plus the additional costs for vehicles and
equipment as you related to us. I guess having made those comments, I guess
caution the Council that we have a fiscal responsibility also to our constituents
out there, and I think that the reality is I think we have a great police department
and Meridian is really struggling with growth right now. We would love to be able
to add manpower, we'd love to be able to add it in all departments, but we have
to balance that with what we can afford to do.
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. deWeerd.
deWeerd: I can understand where Councilman Anderson is coming from,
however, I think safety has to come above all else, and I don't think we're setting
a precedence by accepting these grants. I was under the understanding that we
do have flexibility in our budget to accept this grant. If not, I'd like to know
different.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: If he has any flexibilities within his own budget that he's got, we do not
have any flexibility within the overall city one. Like Ron said, we've taken two
million dollars out of our fund to fund some capital improvements so that we
could give the raises and the equipment on the deal. I, too, believe that we've
got a very fine police force. We had agreed last summer that we would wait and
see what WRICOPS said before this was brought before us. Evidently, we didn't
want to wait until WRICOPS got out assessment out. I think people are going to
find out that WRICOPS is going to show that we are very well in safety. We're
not a Garden City, we're not a Boise. Our 1.1 officer, I think, is fine for this city.
Now, if we were Garden City or something, you'd want more, or Boise, Nampa,
Caldwell, wherever. I think our police force does a very fine job. I, too, am like
Ron. We - to meet the budget, get some infrastructure built, we have a very,
very tight budget. We would have not made the budget if we hadn't taken in the
two million dollars out of the slush fund. So even if I felt safe - that we need for
safety of citizens - (inaudible) needed more officers, I wouldn't care whether it
was a grant or not. I'd vote for it. I do not believe that we do. I believe
WRICOPS will show that we don't. That's all I've got to say.
Anderson: Mr. Mayor.

Anderson: For Councilman deWeerd, we don't have time to get into it tonight,
but if you wanted .to table this motion, I'd be glad to go over the budget numbers
with you and show you where we're at on those. Maybe we could get some
better costs (inaudible) something we can afford.
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. deWeerd.
deWeerd: Is this something that we can do at our workshop?
Bird: We can - he's got to have it by the 27th according to what he just said.
deWeerd: And when's our workshop?
Bird: Well, you seem to be able to switch (inaudible).
deWeerd: Our workshop is the 25th.
Bird: It's the 28th.
Corrie: It's the 28th. January the 25th. But you'd have to have a special
meeting.
Bird: You can't do it? Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Just a minute. Is Janice here? Would you have her come in?
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: In fact, we had to go back into the Police Department and give them more
money because we had screwed up on salary as it was, if you remember right,
so they - we did have to give - because we had (inaudible) implementation of a
nice program didn't quite work out like we thought it would, so we had taken that.
Corrie: Janice, they're talking about - (inaudible) budget is concerned whether
we have enough in a contingency fund of what's left of what we've done with the
budget while we approved of. How much - is there any slack here?
Smith: Yes, there is. I don't have the - right in front of me what was in the
paper. We have about 70Q-some thousand not accounted - not designated. It
was just general. When you did the report, you allocated so much for Police, so
(
j
Meridian City Council
January 18, 2000
Page 16
much for Parks, so much for Fire and the rest into general. You went into two
million of the Capital Improvement Fund, but we're not going to be using all that
two million into the Capital Improvement Fund, so there's like 700-some
thousand that we won't either hit; you wouldn't have to use all that money from
the fund balance. You took the two million out of the fund balance. The option is
not to use all that two million or to allocate it. At the budget workshop, (inaudible)
said no new employees, so that really downed everybody's expenditure report in
the general fund.
Anderson: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: I had a question for Janice, then. When we were at that workshop, it
was down to $25,000. Where has this money magically come from now?
Smith: Well, if you can give me a second, I can just bring it up on the screen.
I've given a lot of the printouts to the Mayor and I've gone over it quite a bit. I
think you have received a summary after the budget was in there, and you can
see on your reports, expenditure reports, get a summary of those. There's - I
can print you out one. It'd be the last one I gave you. I try to let you know it's
there. You guys haven't allocated it for anything. It's just floating in the general.
I said on the last report, the options are you don't go into the fund balance, the
two million or are we going to hire more people or Financial Director or police?
That's my plug. Or police?
Corrie: Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: In light of what Janice is telling me, I'd like to see if Bill could talk to
them and get a week extension. I'd like to go over the new numbers and figure
out just what we do have.
Gordon: I can always call them.
Bird: See if you can get to the 2nd or the 3rd of February because we have to
work on it the first; am I not right? (inaudible)
Corrie: (inaudible) They extended it until the end of January - ask them again to
extend it again, I don't know how the federal government works. You know as
well as I do.
Bird: (inaudible) They've extended it for two years since I've been on the
Council.

Item 3.
Public Hearing: Request for annexation and zoning (R-T TO R-4)
by Charles Crane - located at 3610 W. Ustick Road:
Corrie: Item No.3 is a, public hearing request for annexation and zoning, R-T to
R-4 by Charles Crane located at 3610 West Ustick Road. At this time, I'll open
the public hearing and invite staffs comments first. Thank you.
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, as we discussed in Pre-Council, this is a request
by the applicant to change some of the original conditions of approval;
specifically, they would begin on Page 3 of the Recommendation to City Council
and would extend to Page 4 with Items 1.7 through 1.12. The basic changes
needed is to add on Page 3 before Item 1.7 that if the Ada County Highway
District receives a development proposal, the District intends to provide the
following requirements, and then go on with those requirements, but not to make
them an initial requirement of annexation. Mr. Crane's here tonight. If he has
anything to add to that, has any other comments. That's all I had.
Corrie: Any other staff comments? Hearing none, all right., I'll open the public
hearing for the request for annexation and zoning. Is Mr. Crane or representative
here this evening?
Crane: Hello, again. My name is Charles Crane. I'm at 3610 West Ustick Road.
I'm the applicant. Councilperson deWeerd probably remembers this from July.
This was originally a simple one-time split, and I've went through the City
Ordinance with the staff, and everything seems to be real simple and straight-
forward. This has taken quite a long time, and one of the points is the road
department had a list of future requirements that was mistakenly applied to this
rezoning and annexing. There is a letter in the file from Steve Siddoway that
tried to bring this to the attention of the Council on September 20th where it lists
the mistake in the record that the road department only required those for a
future subdivision if things have changed; if there was being resubdivided or
resubmitted in some future with the sidewalks and other requirements they listed
Meridian City Council
January 18, 2000
Page 20
would only be required at that time. Since then, the director of ACHD also sent a
letter to the City Council to restate that fact. So you guys have that. So,
basically, I'm just requesting that those items that were put in by mistake, the
sidewalk and easement and other things be taken off the Development
Agreement. Just basic, simple annexing and zoning.
Corrie: Okay. Questions from Council?
Bird: I have none.
deWeerd: I have none.
Corrie: Okay.
Crane: All right. There is one other point. This has created a pretty severe
financial hardship because this is being drawn out this long. One of the
stipulations is that water and sewer be connected when I get annexed and
rezoned. I was going to ask if that could be postponed - in the letter from Steve
Siddoway if we could postpone it until I had a buyer for the land because of the
delay of these hearings, all my finances I had set aside to pay for those things
are gone now. I was hoping I could wait until I had a buyer for the land before I
had to hook up to the City water and sewer; if I could have a delay put in the
Development Agreement.
Corrie: Mr. Smith.
Smith: Yes, sir.
Corrie: Do you have any comment on that at this point? Other than maybe get
some counseling from the attorney on where we should go with this?
Smith: I guess my only comment would be that the Ordinance has a requirement
for connection if the property is within 300 feet of sewer or water lines. So, the
provisions of that Ordinance would need to be (inaudible) if that's your desire.
That's about the only thing I could speak to, Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: What he's saying is it would take a variance from the Ordinance to do
that. It's-
Crane: It's my understanding that you have the authority.
Corrie: Council can do that.
Gigray: I think that's a Planning and Zoning Ordinance. Is that in the Subdivision
or Zoning Ordinance? (inaudible) subject to a variance.
(
Meridian City Council
January 18. 2000
Page 21
Smith: Mr. Mayor, Council members, it is in the Sewer Use and the Water Use
Ordinance, yes, sir.
Corrie: Mr. Gigray, could that be possible then, on the variance? (inaudible)
land use.
Gigray: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, it's not a matter of which I have
reviewed for this meeting because I wasn't aware this was going to be an issue,
but generally speaking, those ordinances proscribe a certain time period within
which they have to hook up, and it isn't like it's immediate. I don't know if it's a
year or whatever it is. As I understand our variances, they generally apply to
Zoning Ordinance criteria and subdivision criteria and aren't generally applicable
to regulations over the water and sewer system. Basically, the requirement for
hookup when hookup is available is to protect the integrity of this system and
also usually many systems are started with bonding and whatever and bonding
agents require those kind of conditions be an ordinance to assure that the ability
of the system to repay the obligation of the bond, and it could be - it's not an
uncommon thing to be in city ordinances. There may be a provision in the code.
I'm just not aware at this time, for him to apply for some kind of relief. That'd be
a matter, I think, that should be dealt with separately under the terms of that
ordinance, not as part of this application.
Corrie: Okay. Is that all right with you?
Crane: Yeah. If the time period is like a year or something, that would be fine.
think somebody at the Council had mentioned 15 days.
Bird: That's what the ordinance, I think, does say: 15 days from annexation.
Crane: If it's 15 days, if I could get some kind of relief from that if it's within your
power.
Smith: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Smith.
Smith: I've made this statement to the Council to you and to the Council before.
I'm not out looking for customers for sewer and water. We've got lots of them,
and there's more coming. This particular use certainly wouldn't impair or impede
us in gathering customers. I certainly, personally, wouldn't have a problem with
waiving this requirement. Legally, if that's how you need to go about it, that's
another question. In terms of you asking me if I had any concerns about this, I
would not.
Corrie: Thank you. We'll take it up separately from this one - annexation.
Anything else? Okay. This is a public hearing. Is there anyone else in the public
Meridian City Council
January 18, 2000
Page 22
that would like to issue testimony on Item No.3? Hearing none, Council, any
questions or discussion?
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. deWeerd.
deWeerd: What would the step be for the applicant then to take, or could - is it a
possibility we can make that a condition upon application of a building permit?
Can we just build that into the Development Agreement or does he have to
specifically, formally apply for a variance?
Gigray: Mr. Mayor, Councilman deWeerd, members of the Council, the
procedure will be if there is one available, should be proscribed in the ordinance.
I just don't have it in front of me, and I wouldn't presuppose at this point to
answer that question because I don't know the answer to it. Certainly, I would
think the immediate control over those provisions of the ordinance would be with
the Public Works Department because they are the ones who administer for the
most part, the Water and Sewer Ordinances of the City. If there is some
available relief in this instance, I would think that could be handled at least on
initial review at a department level. Now, the department could look at it and
determine that the terms of the ordinance are unduly restrictive and provide for
hookup in too short of period and could request this office with the approval of
the Mayor to prepare an ordinance that would amend that to extend the amount
of time. I know that time in other cities is longer. I know in some areas it's as
much as a year or so. But I don't think that - I wouldn't advise this Council to
waive provisions of your ordinance that are mandatory as a condition of a
Development Agreement. I don't think it'd be proper.
Corrie: Any other questions?
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. deWeerd.
deWeerd: So, Gary, can you meet with the applicant and let him know what the
procedure would be, then?
Corrie: Hearing no other discussion, I'll entertain a motion on the request for
annexation and zoning.
Bird: We've got to close the public hearing.
Corrie: Sorry. You're absolutely right. I'll entertain a motion to close the public
hearing. '

Conclusions of Law and Decision of Order for the request for annexation and
zoning, R-T to R-4, by Charles Crane located at 3610 West Ustick Road in a
favorable comment.
Corrie: Is there a second to that motion?
deWeerd: Second.
Corrie: Okay. Motion's made and seconded to have the attorney draw up the
Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law and the proper ordinance for the
annexation and zoning for Item No. 3 from R- T to R-4 by Charles Crane. Any
further discussion?
Anderson: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: I just had a comment. I agree with Council. I think we set a
dangerous precedent when you do the annexations and just waive your
ordinances, and I think the proper procedure would be to change the ordinance
first and not grant a variance in this case. It seems like we're doing it backwards
to me, and we're setting a precedence, and we're inviting anybody else in similar
situations to get their property annexed and increase the value, change it to a
different zoning ahead of putting up the development costs and stuff like that. So
it's my feeling that this wouldn't be the proper way to do this.

Bird: We're not changing any variance.
Anderson: But you're approving it without water and sewer hookup.
Bird: No, I'm not. I didn't say that. My motion does not carry that.
Anderson: Okay.
Bird: I didn't take any variances in that.
Anderson: All right.
deWeerd: No. The applicant is supposed to work with Gary on the procedure.
Bird: That isn't in the motion. The motion is cut and dry. It's as per our
ordinance. There's no variance.
Anderson: Okay.
Corrie: Yeah. The motion is to have the Findings of Facts and Conclusions of
Law and Ordinance drawn up for the annexation and zoning.
Anderson: Okay. Thank you.
Corrie: Thank you. Any further discussion? Mr. Gigray.
Gigray: Point of - request for clarification. The draft Findings and Conclusions
of Law that we prepared for which this matter was re-opened included some
Findings of the adoption of the Recommendation of the Engineering Department
and there were certain requests that adopted conditions and recommendations of
the Ada County Highway District which were set out on Page 5 and Page 6 of
those proposed Findings. I think, as I understand it, that was the heart of what
the complaint of what this applicant was were those conditions, and if I
understand his motion correctly, for re-opening this public hearing was to
eliminate those conditions alone, and then he brought up the one additional point
about hooking up to the sewer system, but I think all you need to do, if this is
your desire, would be to simply eliminate those Ada County Highway District
recommendations and Findings in that I think the import of this was that they
would be able to address that as such time as they would develop this property
and that you could just simply direct me to eliminate those conditions from the
Findings and Decision of Order as well as the Development Agreement and then
I could proceed to bring those back to you with those eliminated based on this
action for your final action and adoption at the next meeting would be our normal
process.

signs should be limited to a maximum height of 20 feet as a -
Anderson: That is on 1.8?

requirement for a Development Agreement be deleted.

Item 5.
Public Hearing: Request for vacation of 2 O-foot emergency
access of Mirage Meadows Subdivision to a new access located
at the end of Oakcrest Drive by Robert Higgins, et al - Block 1,
,Lots 16 and 17 of Mirage Meadows Subdivision and Lots 19 and 20
of Chateau Meadows east located at the end of Oakcrest Drive:
Corrie: Item No.5, this is a public hearing request for vacation of 20-foot
emergency access by Mirage Meadows Subdivision to a new access located at
the end of Oakcrest Drive by Robert Higgins, et ai, Block 1, Lots 16 and 17 of
Mirage Meadows Subdivision and Lots 19 and 20 of Chateau Meadows East
located at the end of O~kcrest Drive. I'll open the public hearing and invite staff
comments first.
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, this is for an existing emergency access that also
serves as a pedestrian walkway between Mirage Meadows and Chateau
Meadows north of Fred Meyer. The complaint has been that there's been
vandalism occurring along that section and the adjacent property owners would
like that access to be discontinued. As you can see, there's this access here.
There's very little inter-neighborhood access here. What they've proposed is that
this be used as the access between the neighborhoods. Unfortunately, this is
still county property, and the City does not control development of that piece. I
don't know (inaudible). I would like the Fire Chief, Kenny Bowers, to make some
comments on this and set forth his recommendation.
Bowers: Mayor Corrie and City Council, when we first started talking about this, I
was quite concerned because I didn't realize that the City had a piece of property
in that yellow piece right by that arrow. I figured it was all county, and I didn't
know how we were going to do this. But after Shari pulled it up, there is just a
little piece of property that is the road that is the City property there. My biggest
concern, also, was the elevation difference between where the arrow is and
Oakcrest. We have taken a truck down there in that area and looked it over.
With a little bit of grading, we should be able to get the elevations satisfiable to
myself for the fire trucks. We did try to work out to put a gate there that we could
just come up and cut the chain and go through it that way, so that would be okay
with us at this time until that piece gets developed. My biggest concern is who is
going to maintain that road back to that one house like in the wintertime? Part of
it is asphalt, part of it's gravel, part of it's dirt. That was one of my concerns.
They are still going to have to use that as a walkway to get to Fred Meyer so that
gate will not be the full length of the road, to my knowledge. And we will have to
make sure that there's no parking so we can swing that gate open so we're not -
so the gate will not fling back and hit another vehicle and damage it, scratch it. A
lot of the people, from what I understand, that visit this place here, the older
house there in the county, they do park at the end of Oakcrest. So we're going to
(
(
Meridian City Council
January 1812000

have to make sure we get some signs up or something, no parking in that area.
Does City Council have any other questions?
Bird: I have none.
Anderson: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: I have a question. More of SharL So the piece we're talking about is
that little, thin sliver, the yellow piece? Right there?
Stiles: He's talking about this little yellow -
Bowers: City Council members, Ron Anderson, that piece right there will be part
of the road that we have been discussing. The circle, the red circle to the left of
that, right there, that's the part that they want to close between those four homes
right there. I think the next slide has it on it, Shari. Right there. That's the piece
that they want to close between the four homes. That's Oakcrest there on the
bottom that runs left and right and it runs into Dixie Lane, the old Dixie Lane.
Right there.
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. deWeerd.
deWeerd: Chief Bowers, is it called a pedestrian path or is it a road? What is
that?
Bowers: Mayor Corrie and City Council members, right now there is two big
concrete barriers that Ada County or somebody has put there so they cannot
drive from Oakcrest to the old Dixie Lane. Yes, they do that - they use that as a
pedestrian walkway for those subdivisions to get to Fred Meyer and to the
Chevron Station and to school.
deWeerd: So what is it made up of? Is it pavement?
Bowers: The pavement ends right - are you talking about -
deWeerd: What you will be using as the emergency access.
Bowers: Okay. Right there. That's partial pavement. Right where the arrow's
at, it starts to dirt and gravel. They will be - if you pull the arrow up just a little bit
farther, right there, they will put a gate that swings right there.
Anderson: Mr. Mayor.

Corrie: Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: I guess I'm confused what that piece of property has to do with the
other one that they're asking to vacate, then.
Bird: I'm with you.
Bowers: City Council members, Mayor Corrie and Ron Anderson, years ago, this
subdivision was developed, and upon the recommendation of City Council that
they would put that access road in the circle into this development because that
is the only way into this piece of the subdivision until Oakcrest gets built through.
One way in, one way out of this subdivision. Locust Grove on your left comes in,
you go one way in, one way out, and the access to get into this location for
emergency vehicles was' in that circle. We thought by now that Oakcrest would
be punched through, but I'm not sure what the problem is of purchasing that
property .
Anderson: So the place where the arrow is sitting right now is not the access
road that you're talking about?
deWeerd: It is.
Anderson: Where it is?
Bowers: A new access road. The new proposed access road, yeah. The one in
the circle is the old access road right there.
Anderson: Okay. So you're proposing vacating that one and creating a new
one.
Bowers: That's what they are proposing, yes.
Anderson: Okay. Get this straight.
(inaudible discussion amongst Council members)
Corrie: Shari.
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, you have our comments of December 3, 1999.
Just like to reiterate that the children in this subdivision do use this micropath to
go from Oakcrest Drive to Meadow Wood Street which is right here, and then
they get up to Chateau because this is where they have a crossing guard assist
them to get across Locust Grove Road; otherwise, these children are going to be
forced to come out to Locust Grove and up here where I don't believe there are
any sidewalks yet. Are there? They indicate there are sidewalks. Of course,

interneighborhood connectivity because they really don't have any real access to
the other neighborhoods. That's alii had.
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. deWeerd.

deWeerd: No. I know there was something else with this, but I don't have the
minutes.
Corrie: Mr. Gigray.
Gigray: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, point of information. I might
encourage the Councilor the Mayor to inquire of staff with regards as to what the
actual statement is on the plat that dedicates the particular item which is before
you because it might clarify what kind of a dedication it was. It is my concern that
this is a dedication that would be an emergency access, or it could be considered
in some way a road right-of-way. My opinion would be that the City Council
could certainly entertain this application for its approval as would be required, but
it would come under the jurisdiction of the Ada County Highway District because
they're the ones that are in charge of roads and streets in this county. It seems a
little unclear to me from the information that I have in my packet as to the very
nature of this particular easement for which this application applies. I assume
there's a note on the plat or something that designates what it is, and maybe I'm
just missing it and it's in here somewhere.

interest. It was not recommended by them, and the property that's involved
belongs to the people' who - the easement crosses their land. Ada County has
no interest in it. The only reason that was there was this subdivision - may I -
does somebody have a laser or can I - Basically, when 1-
deWeerd: Sir, you can use that microphone. No. Right here on the stand. And
you can take it off the stand if you would like.
Higgins: The reason - my understanding was when this easement was put in,
this emergency easement, that's all it was granted for, fire trucks to get into the
subdivision, is because this subdivision at the time was not developed. And it
was crossed out - in reference to paved, it's gravel right in here, and then
starting down from this point becomes pavement all the way down to Fairview.
So from this point here down to here, we're looking at pavement. The school - in
reference to the school problems, in reference to their talking about kids going
through there, it was never considered to be a pedestrian right-of-way, but as of
next year, all students in this subdivision here will be going down through this
subdivision because the new school is being built over right here for our
subdivision. In reference to the kids walking through that alleyway, basically,
they're getting good sex education because they're writing all sorts of foul
language, putting obscene pictures on my fence. The liability suit of all four
neighbors in this are liable if anybody gets hurt, falls down, we're liable. They
can come to our insurance company and nail us. I would like to bring up one
comment from my neighbor who had been walking through there, we've got a
scare. Last week, as a matter of fact. His name is Joe Paswalk.
Paswalk: Council, I'm Joe Paswalk, 2041 North Applewood Place. The problem
in there is it's really dark. My problem with the whole thing is safety of
everybody, both subdivisions. The other night I came through there and the kids
were sitting along the fence, couldn't see them, you know, it was really quite a
heartstopper when you're going around the corner to walk in there, and you're
just right there in the dark. I'm really concerned that we're going to have a
problem out there to where we're going to have some residents hurt. That's kind
of out of control right now. So that's my biggest concern. The little people that
go back and forth in there, that's really great, but somebody's going to get run
r

over on either end, now, because the traffic has gotten more and more out there.
So I think that's my biggest concern in that walkpath out there. Thank you.
Higgins: Last week before we left, I had also a letter here from Richard Stagnaro
(sic). He lives on - in our cul-de-sac. He just wanted to be of record that the
kids traveling between both those subdivisions, they're cutting across - when
they come across, they're shooting through here and cutting right across the
lawns here of Joe Paswalk and Richard Stagnaro is right here. They've got a
little berm there. The kids will come right across his lawn and jump his berm. So
it's just getting real irritating. I've been living there for about six years, and I
finally just can't take it anymore. It's just been - this last year has just been the
final point where I've got to say I can't afford the risk. I've backed up and come
close to hitting kids through there, and on top of it, when I did my research and
found out we own the property and we're liable, if we don't get it authorized, then
I would think that we're going to be entitled to close it off manually so the Fire
Department could go through it. It'll stop congestion traffic. So, it is not
guaranteed a pedestrian walkway. It's only an emergency access. It was only
supposed to be temporary at that point. So I'd like to give this letter and make it
part of the record if you would, please.
Corrie: Thank you. Council, any questions?
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Sir, how long has that been used as an - I know you stated as an
emergency pathway, but how long has it been used as a public pathway?
Higgins: I've been there since February '93.
Bird: '93. And that right-of-way is actually part of your deeded lot?
Higgins: It's part of my deeded lot. There's a letter from Ada County saying they
have no fee interest in that property.
Bird: Are you talking about the matter from Christy Richardson (sic)?
Higgins: Is she from Ada County Highway District?
Bird: Yeah. Ada County Highway District staff has received and reviewed the
application and site plan for the item referenced above.
Higgins: No. There's a letter that says there is no fee interest in that property.
Bird: It says don't have any site requirements at this time.

Higgins: It was hand - it was delivered to you. Hold on. I might have a copy of
that here.
Bird: That one is from Christy Richardson of ACHD>
Higgins: It was dated December 14th because I got it the day of a meeting.
Bird: Mine is December 1st the one I've got here.
Higgins: There's a letter from Ada County Highway District that's dated
December 14th which they stated they had a no-fee, simple interest in that
property.
Corrie: Mr. Higgins, do you have that in your file? It might help us a little bit.
deWeerd: Would it be the one dated November 4th?
Higgins: No. This is just - I got it the day they signed off on it on December 14th
when we had that meeting because I just got it that afternoon. They said it was
part at this file, so I didn't bring it with me. (inaudible) It was part ot the record
when we were here on the 14th, and Tammy, you were here at that time. I
handed it in at that point. You could check the records. It should be part of your
records.
Anderson: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: I'm not sure the letter from ACHD would have any real relevance
whether they're charging a fee or not. I just -
Higgins: No. What it states is they don't have an interest in that party. Basically
what the letter is saying is that the property involved is owned by the lot - the
homeowners - the property that easement crosses.
Anderson: I understand that. You mentioned that they're going to build a new
grade school off to the east of that; how will the kids from your subdivision
access it? Is there a way to get from Oakcrest on down to that (inaudible)
Avenue?
Higgins: Yeah. Right through here there's a public right-at-way, ten-foot access
from the sidewalks here that goes across this lot here to North Dixie Lane. The-
if you'll check the records, the Planning and Zoning guy that was here before
verified that.

Anderson: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: Just a couple more questions. Robert, P & Z staff themselves
recommended keeping that, and Planning and Zoning recommended closing it.
p & Z staff recommended possibly opening that up a little bit. It sounds like you
must have six-foot high cedar fence or something on each side of it right now.
Has there been any thought by the homeowners to go ahead and open that up
with a chain-link fence or a lower fence so the visibility could be improved to kind
of discourage kids from hanging out there?
Higgins: I like my privacy. I don't like people walking through and seeing what
I'm doing in my backyard, plus the lower the fences, we've got two people with
hot tubs back there. The liability if we don't keep high fences, we can get sued.
Either that or lose our homeowners. Right now, I'll be really - I think we're going
to be in a Catch-22 situation for anybody who gets hurt in there, and our
homeowners pays for it and they find out they're on the hook for that every time
somebody gets hurt because my - it's just like a dog biting. Your insurance will
pay for it once, but if it happens again, they'll cancel your homeowners. When
they put that in there, the City Council before, I think they forgot about the liability
factor of the -
*** End of Side 2 ***
bicycles, making rumps and jumping in there. These - the Balls who live in the -
right here on this (inaudible) Meadowwood, she's not here tonight, but she's
come close to - their driveway's right next to the fence and backing out, kids
come around through there and she comes close to hitting a kid of their bicycles.
So it's just a matter of - it's not - if it's going to happen, it's just a matter of when
it's going to happen. The vandalism that I've had on my fence, I mean, I was
going to have to report it to insurance, and I'm not looking forward to that,
because when it happens, they're going to say we'll pay for it once, but come
next time, who's going to pay for it? I have to pay for it? I don't think that's right.
Corrie: Anything else?
Higgins: No, that's it for me.
Corrie: Thank you. Anyone else like to testify? Okay. Questions of the
Council?
Anderson: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Anderson.
Meridian City Council
January 18,2000
Page 36
Anderson: One more question for Mr. Gigray, a legal question. The
homeowners had talked about their liability. Educate me a little bit. The
pathways now that are being created in newer subdivisions, are those common
areas? Is that why there's no liability with those homeowners and this is set up
differently because this was an emergency access at the time, or do the current
ones that we require or ask for, do they still have the same liability?
Gigray: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, I think the issue ot liability would be
fact-driven, and that would be what is actually happening out there. If these
property owners are in possession and maintaining possession of the property
and are aware of or have conditions there knowing it's public use, it would be
endangerment to people using it, I would say they probably incur some liability. If
this is, in tact, a dedicated right-at-way, which it sounds to me like it is, to me, the
ownership interest of that right-at-way would be held by the Ada County Highway
District. What these property owners, if they've got some concerns about liability
or, in fact, damage to their property by the public use of that, that they need to
confer with Ada County Highway District about closing it off. One ot the things
that I think is going to be difficult for you to make a decision about this
application, and I might urge that you might consider continuing this hearing to
get more information is I'd like to see what the plat says and the language of the
dedication. It sounds to me like the evidence produced so far would indicate that
there's been public use of this tor a period of greater than five years which, I
think, creates public right-at-way issues that get outside of the City's jurisdiction
at this point other than your jurisdiction to consent any vacation of that right-of-
way by the Highway District. It it's like we maintain pathways within our parks
systems, and that's into the jurisdiction of the City, and it's the City's
responsibility and not the private property owner.
Corrie: Any other questions?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Hearing none, I'll entertain a motion to close the public hearing.
Bird: So moved.
Anderson: Second.

Page 37
Corrie: Mrs. deWeerd.
deWeerd: How do we obtain the information on if it's a dedicated right-of-way
and it's not?
Corrie: Shari, Gary?
Smith: Mr. Mayor, Council members, I'm looking at a reduced copy of the plat
from Mirage Meadows which was recorded in 1990. A reduced copy of the plat
of Chateau Meadows East No. 1 which was recorded in 1990. Both plats show
this as a 20-foot wide emergency access easement. It's not a dedicated public
right-of-way by the plat. The plat from Mirage Meadows shows it as a 20-foot
emergency access easement, fenced both sides with 20-foot of asphalt
pavement. So it was dedicated as an easement on the plat. An easement only.
deWeerd: So it's not a right-at-way.
Smith: It's not dedicated as a right-of-way if there's something about use of the
property over a period of time, as Mr. Gigray commented that it turns it into a
public right-at-way, I don't know. But the plat did not dedicate it as a public right-
of-way. It showed it as an easement across the property.
deWeerd: And when was that platted?
Smith: 1990.
Corrie: So, Mr. Gigray, then we could vacate that property; correct? Or not?
Yau hesitated a bit.
Gigray: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, I think first of all you've closed the
public hearing. If we're going to get additional information, I would just think
procedurally you should re-open the public hearing to receive that. I'd certainly
be more than happy to look at that, but quite frankly, it seems to me that there's a
dedication for emergency access or for access, we're getting into issues for right-
at-way. You can have access of ingress and egress that are easements to
properties which are right-af-way and if the dedication says it's dedication to the
public, then I think we need to examine that to determine what the rights are
there in terms of the potential interest ot the Ada County Highway District. Now,
we have in the past granted vacations and then put a notice in that order of
vacation that the applicant is advised that they may wish to seek the approval of
the Ada County Highway District as kind of a hedge of representing whether or
not the City has that ultimate authority, and then they would proceed to the Ada
County Highway District. It they decline that they have any interest in it, they
could get a ruling from the Commission and that might resolve the issue. That's
just an issue that comes to my mind. The City would have to approve it if the
Ada County Highway District were going to vacate it, it would have to have the
Meridian City Council
January 18,2000
Page 38
City's approval because it's in the City. I mean, it wouldn't be a waste of time to
go through this with - it makes a little difference on how I write up an order if you
were going to grant this. It's one of my concerns.
Corrie: So that I am hearing what I think I'm hearing, you're asking that we open
the public hearing back up and table it - continue the public hearing to the next
meeting until we get information; is that correct?
Gigray: Well, either that or at least receive the information that the Public Works
Director provided so we can get that plat information into the record. I don't have
it in my packet. It may be there and I just don't know it.
Anderson: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: I would make a motion that we re-open the public hearing for Mirage
Meadows Subdivision.
Bird: Second.
Corrie: Motion made and seconded to re-open the public hearing on Item No.5.
Any further discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor of the motion say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
Corrie: Okay. Re-open the hearing. If you will please enter that testimony on
the record.
Smith: Thank you, Mr. Mayor, Council members. The two plats involved in this
request are Chateau Meadows East No.1. It was created in 1990. Mirage
Meadows Subdivision also created in 1990. Both of these are recorded
subdivisions at Ada County Recorders Office. The easement under question is
noted on the plat as Chateau Meadows East No. 1 as a twenty-foot emergency
access easement, fenced both sides with 20 feet of AC pavement. The
easement description on Mirage Meadows Subdivision is a 20-foot emergency
access easement, fenced both sides with 20 feet of AC pavement. These are
shown as easements, ten feet each side of the property line as platted. I think
that was all I related to you earlier.
Corrie: Okay. Mr. Gigray, is that what we needed?
Gigray: Thank you, Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: All right. Any other discussion of the public hearing?

Anderson: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: Question tor Mr. Gigray, then. Does that testimony change any of
your thoughts about that there's still some question about whether this would be
a dedicated right-ot-way or not?
Gigray: My opinion is what I've heard that it is. That's my opinion. At the same
time, even if it is, the Council is required to give its approval, although, I think the
proper procedure in those instances is to make application to ACHD, they run it
through, and then you run your approval to them. But we've done it the other
way. It just makes a difference in the language I do in the Order if you grant this.
Now, I believe this applicant may want to address what's been said here.
Higgins: Yeah. I would.
,Gigray: That's up to you, Mr. Mayor. I'm sorry.
Corrie: That'd be fine if you give your name, please, again.
Higgins: My name's Robert Higgins, I'm at 2064 North Applewood Place. I went
to Ada County Highway District. They - that's the reason I got that letter that's in
here, and I can get you another copy of that letter that says they have a no-fee
interest, simple interest in that property. I've got a license application that's been
approved to put the gate up. Ada County Highway District, the letter that's part ot
your file, you should have it, they have no interest in it. They've - was not a
requirement for them when they put that subdivision, when this subdivision went
in. So what they told me is I have to go before City Council. Now you're telling
me to go back to Ada County Highway District again so they can provide you
another letter that says they have no interest. I'm - I hate to say this, but
bureaucracy here is kind ot driving me wild here because I'm trying to get things
resolved, and Ada County Highway District - it's not a requirement. It was never
a requirement for that easement to be put in. The City of Meridian put it in. The
plat I've got here, all it says is it's an emergency access only. So I'm trying to
jump through the hoops here and make everybody happy, but I can't - I wish I
would have kept - I went through my stuff to get rid of stuff which I didn't think I
needed, and that letter was part of it because I had a copy of it. Let's see.
That's - you've got the copy. This is a plat which I got with my title report on this
property. I'll - let me show it to Mr. Bill Gigray.
Gigray: What he read was what's on the back of the plat.
Bird: (inaudible)

and get this matter resolved. I mean, I don't know what else I can provide you.

hearing? Information? Okay.

request for vacation to the Councilor you can do what Mr. Gigray suggests.
Bird: Mr. Mayor, I'm going to try this. I move that we get the Findings of Facts
and Decision of Order for the request of vacation for the 20-foot emergency
access of Mirage Meadows Subdivision to a new access - I don't know why that
is even in it, but at the end of Oakcrest Drive by Robert Higgins, Block 1, Lot 16
and 17 of Mirage Meadows Subdivision and Lots 19 and 20 at Chateau
Meadows East located at the end of Oakcrest Drive and that they are to in this
motion, they are to go after we pass it, they are to go get it approved by ACHD.
Corrie: Okay. Motion made by Mr. Bird. Is there a second to the motion?
Hearing none, motion died for lack of second. I'll entertain another motion.
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. deWeerd.
deWeerd: Can there be discussion? I would like to know why he was
suggesting to go to ACHD on when this was not a dedicated right-af-way.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I believe that it being open to the public for five years it is a right-at-way
and it can be proven to be a right-at-way, a public right-ot-way that's been used
tor five years as a public access even thought the plat does call (inaudible).
Corrie: Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: Mr. Mayor. Are you done, Keith? I'm sorry. I have questions. It
sounds like we still have discrepancy between what our legal counsel is telling
('
Meridian City Council
January 18,2000
Page 41
us, what he believes and what the City Engineer and what the applicant believes,
and I guess for me to vote on this with a clear conscience, I'd like to have this
cleared up first. I sympathize with the applicant, and I don't want to send him
running back and forth to ACHD a million times. Is that something that our staff
could clear up between Bill and Gary, or would it require more visits to ACHD?
Corrie: Mr. Gigray.
Gigray: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, Councilman Anderson, to answer
your question, there's a possibility if I could look at the plat and the language on
the back of the plat which I don't have in front of me, I don't know if this is a
dedication to the public. If it is a dedication to the public which is standard
language that I've seen in plats that show that they're dedicating these various
things and it is, in fact, an access for emergency vehicles, I don't think that
providing access to some private property owner to have emergency access
across this to another piece of property. So therefore, it would seem that it would
be some kind of dedication to the public which I think raises jurisdictional issues
here which you don't have in other counties where you don't have a county
highway district because the City's in control of its roads and streets as well, and
can handle the whole thing itself. My understanding of the law with regards to
Highway District law is that they are in control of the public rights-ot-way whether
they're dedicated or otherwise and it's properly within their jurisdiction to do final
authority on vacation. As far as easements are concerned for utilities, we've
been able to clarify with them that they don't claim that jurisdiction. We have
interpreted the statute to provide that the City can do that by following the
procedure and we don't have the same problem. If this were utility easement, I
wouldn't have this concern. Be that as it may, what we've done in the past is we
have prepared Orders and simply granted the application, and you've directed so
with the various Findings, and we've just provided a proviso in there that the
applicant is advised to 'consult with the Ada County Highway District to get a
determination from them as to whether or no they claim any interest in this right-
of-way or not because, I assume, if they ever sell that property, that could show
up as an exception on their title policy as to whether or not that vacation was
done properly or not. I'm just telling you what my view is about the law in this
particular regards. Yau can take whatever action you see fit, but I see that as an
issue here. I can put that language in the order which was kind of what I
understood the motion of Councilman Bird to be or I'll leave it out.
Bird: That's what I meant.
Anderson: Now with the explanation, I wouldn't mind seconding Councilman
Bird's original motion if he wants to re-make it.
Bird: Re-state it because I can't remember it. Go back to the tape. I'll make it
again. Let's see. How did I do that? I move that ~e approve the vacation of 20-

No. 6 and invite the Council to - All right. Staff comments on Item No.6.
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, this is for the Thunder Creek easement vacation?
Corrie: That's correct.
Stiles: I need to make some changes to the recommendations to City Council.
On Page 1 under Item 1, second line, it should be east of Ten Mile. On Page 2,
Item 7, I believe this was a carry-over from the previous application. This is not a
matter of vandalism and trespassing. The applicant requests the easement
vacation between Lots 6 and 7, Block 3 in order to obtain an adjustment of lot
lines. (inaudible discussion) I wanted Gary to check on Item 10 whether those
relinquishments had been received from the utilities. Do you have that in your
file, Will? Relinquishments from the utilities on this? If Will doesn't have those in
his file, we should probably strike Item 10 in its entirety.
Corrie: Shari, is it we don't have a No.9?
Stiles: Oh. Well, if you just strike Item 10, then you'll be okay.
Corrie: All right.
Stiles: I think that's covered in the Recommendation anyway that before you get
any building permits, they'll have to furnish those relinquishments. This is just
simply for adjustment of the lot lines so that they can accommodate some
housing units that otherwise they couldn't build there. They will still meet the
minimum requirements for an 8,OOO-square foot lot, 80-foot minimum frontage,
and they - it's just made the lots, as you can see it the application, a little more
workable for the builder. Staff recommends approval with the recommendations
as amended.
Corrie: Okay. Thank you. Public has the request for the vacation on Item No.6,
the audience. Does anyone else from the public like to enter testimony on Item
No.6?

and Magic View:
Corrie: Item No. 7 and 8 are public hearings on the Magic View Office Complex
by W.H. Moore Company, and since there was no objection to opening both
public hearings on 7 and 8, we will do so so we can have testimony on both of
them. We'll take them one at a time when we do the requests. Item No.7 is
public hearing, request for annexation and zoning of 10 acres from RT to L-Q for
proposed Magic View Office Complex by W.H. Moore Company, Eagle Road and
Magic View and also Item No. 8 is a public hearing, request for conditional use
permit to provide multiple buildings on a single site and an ancillary restaurant in
L-O zone proposed Magic View Office Complex. At this time I'll open the public
hearing and have staff comments first.
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, I have some suggested changes to the
recommendations to City Council. I'll begin with the annexation and zoning
recommendations. On Page 1, Item 6 should read subject property is bordered
to the north by Greenhill Estates Subdivision and city limits of the City of Meridian
are adjacent and abut south and east sides of the property. It should be south
and east instead of all. Page 2, Item 10, the last line Comprehensive Plan
designates the subject property as commercial should be added and
mixed/planned use development. Item 12 should be re-numbered to 11. Page 4
we're requesting some rather significant changes. There was significant
discussion about the buffering between Greenhill Estates Subdivision and this
development. We would ask that Item 1.10 be revised to read: Applicant shall
enter into a license agreement with Ada County Highway District to construct a
3D-foot high buffer - I'm sorry. Okay ~ . Let me start over. 1.10: Applicant shall
enter into a license agreement with Ada County Highway District to construct a
3D-foot wide buffer with a 4-foot high. b'erm and a 6-foot high solid, wooden fence
on top of the berm along the entire length of Parcel B. That would be the eastern
most parcel that has the Ada Couhty Highway District retention pond. As an
explanation to that, that portion th'eie 'where the retention pond is shown on that
parcel is going to be owned by Ad~.~'_9ounty Highway District. I think all of you are
more than familiar with the wa:-y'~"Ada County Highway District maintains those
parcels. They're very concerned. about aesthetics and beautiful landscaping. So
that is the reason why we asked the applicant to enter into that agreement to
make sure that it is landscaped and that they are responsible for the construction
of the fence and the appearance of that entire area. I'd like to ask that 1.11 be
the next item that would read: Applicant shall construct a minimum 20-foot wide
buffer with a 4-foot high berm and a 6-foot high solid, wooden fence on top of the
berm along the entire length of Parcel A. Item 1.11 would then become 1.12.
1.12 would become 1.13. We'd ask that the requirement or the staff
recommendation for the plat be removed that last sentence and instead of that
sentence that the following be added: Applicant shall coordinate with Public
Meridian City Council
January 18, 2000
Page 46
Works Director and Planning and Zoning Director for direction on appropriate
action to accomplish subdivision and/or lot line adjustment. We still need to work
on some standards for those lot line adjustments or one-time splits, and I think as
part of the standards, we probably won't include a roadway dedication to be
permitted as part of a one-time split, but since this is a roadway section that is
very much needed and should be included in our Comprehensive Plan, in fact, is
something that we need to have done. We may develop some standards for
that, but Gary and I can both work with Jonathan to work out the best way for
that. Item 1.13 would then become 1. 14. We'd ask that a sentence be added to
the end: Applicant shall vacate conflicting easements prior to applying for
building permits. The applicant very eloquently made his case at Planning and
Zoning Commission for removal of the Development Agreement requirement.
They felt it was too restrictive and it tied them down too much to exactly what
they're proposing which is kind of the idea of a Development Agreement. If the
Development Agreement is not required by the City Council, I would ask that you
add an Item 1.15 included as part of the annexation that reads: As a condition of
annexation, all uses are to be developed under the conditional use process as a
planned development. That way if they make significant changes to their
proposal, we'll send them back through the process. Maybe legal counsel has
something to say on that. We have in the past included that directly in the
Annexation Ordinance that all uses would require to be developed under the
conditional use process. On the conditional use portion, Page 4, Item 1.10 of the
Recommendations to City Council, staff would support on Line 4, end of the
sentence striking "approval" and inserting "building permit issuance." So it would
read that the conditional use permit will become null and void if the construction's
not complete within two years from the date of the building permit issuance
instead of two years from date of approval here which seemed a more
reasonable timeframe. Under 1.11, the staffs recommendation that all free-
standing and wall signs be included and approved as part of this application. No
details have been forthcoming for any of those signs that because, basically, they
don't have tenants now, but I think that we should set some restrictions on at
least the number and the maximum height of those free-standing signs due to the
experience we've had with the Eagle Partners project, we had this same - a
similar comment to that signage shall be approved as part of the application. No
details were ever submitted, so they've gone through one modification request
for 1 aD-foot pole sign, and they're back again with another application for a 77-
foot high pole sign. So I think if we could add somewhere within the text of this
that free-standing signs are limited to four with a maximum height of ten feet or
they can make their case if they want to attempt something else, but I think we
need to put some definite limitations on this because we don't want to have to
negotiate with every sign that comes through and have to make a judgement call
on what a significant change is to their plan. On Page 5, Item 1.15, that could be
stricken as they have provided those details. I believe they were presented at
Planning and Zoning Commission. Page 6, Item 1.24 should read: A four-foot
high berm and six-foot high solid fence is required for the boundaries adjacent to
the Greenhill Estates lots. That was covered in the annexation and zoning, but it
(
(
Meridian City Council
January 18, 2000
Page 47
would be good to reiterate it in the conditional use permit. Other than that, we
had no further comment. This is a good project. The roadway is needed, and
staff recommends approval with the changes noted.
Corrie: Okay. Any questions of Shari at this point?
Anderson: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: I have one. Shari, you struck a nerve again with that sign deal with
me. You said you didn't want to make a judgement call, but then you kind of
rolled your eyes and said I'm thinking in the neighborhood of 10-foot, yet we have
another application that's on Fairview that you're talking about 20-foot. Have you
come up with a Sign Ordinance and these seem very much like judgement calls
to me like you're making a judgement. Here it's 10 foot, another it's 20 foot.
How do you determine what you're going to allow for height?
Stiles: Where was it 20 feet?
Anderson: I think it's on the - one of these other projects that we were looking
at. The Walgreen I think is a 20-foot sign recommended there.
Stiles: No. That was a 72-foot maximum. Albertson's which is way back -- you
can't even see the building. The building's higher than 20 feet. It's not along an
entryway corridor. You wouldn't even notice a 20-foot high sign back there. The
reason I recommend the 20 feet is because directly south of this property, this
entire five-acre parcel has restricted itself to a maximum 10-foot high free-
standing signs. Every lot in that, they have four or five lots in there, and they
have made a commitment as part of their annexation and zoning that they will not
exceed that. As a condition of annexation and zoning and the conditional use
permit, we could say you can only have two-foot high signs.
Anderson: I understand that. I'm just --
Stiles: I would rather-
Anderson: -- trying to urge you to - let's get that Sign Ordinance up so you're not
making a judgement on all these so that we can push forward with that, and then
you've got something to go by.
Stiles: I would rather make a legal judgement - I mean that becomes a legal
requirement rather than not have any requirement and then have to deal with
each one when they come in and make that judgement call and have nothing to
stand on. That's why I ask (inaudible).

Anderson: Okay.
Corrie: Any further comments?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: This is a public hearing. Any developer?
Seel: Good evening, Mayor, Council members. We have read through the
report -
Corrie: Name.
Seel: I'm sorry. Jonathan Seel with W.H. Moore Company, 600 North
Steelhead, Boise. We've read through the report, and we have no problems. I
don't know if we want to talk about the annexation first or if we want to merge
them together.
Corrie: Go ahead and do the annexation.
Seel: Annexation? Okay. We'll talk about the annexation first. We read through
the annexation, the report that you received. We have no problems with that.
With respect to the annexation and rezone, recommendations that are included
on the letter from Shari, we also have no problems with that. We talked to her
about that already. I'm certainly pleased to answer questions you have. We'll try
to keep this short.
Corrie: Okay. Council?
Bird: Which letter are you talking about, Jonathan?
Seel: I'm talking about this one that Shari had provided to me this evening which
reflects the modifications she just discussed with you.
Stiles: They don't have that.
Bird: We don't have a copy of it? So we need to enter it into the records?
Stiles: The memo was to myself and Jonathan and the City Clerk from Brad
Hawkins-Clark, and I went over every one of those items --
Bird: Oh. Okay.
Stiles: -- verbally.
('
Meridian City Council
January 18, 2000

Seel: Yeah. We're in agreement with them, so, I was under the understanding
you had this.
Corrie: Okay. And the request for the conditional use permit?
Seel: Okay. You want to do that next, h~h?
Corrie: If you're through with -
Seel: Yeah. We're through with that. With respect to the conditional use permit,
again, reading the report, the recommendations provided to you, we're in
agreement with that, and we're in agreement with the conditions, again, that were
applied here with, I guess, with exception of a couple things I want to clarify.
One, I talked a little bit with Shari about the signage, and I understand where
Shari's coming from with her concern for signage. I'm a little reluctant right now
to kind of pull something out without understanding what we're going to be
potentially developing there. I would like to have the flexibility based on that. If
you look at most of our projects throughout the City of Boise, our signage is
never - has not been above ten feet. Typically it's been below that. In fact,
we've submitted a concept plan reflecting one that was seven feet. But there
may be instances where we may need a sign that is slightly higher than that, so I
would like to suggest that we have some flexibility in that depending on what
we're going to get in there, we had talked about a restaurant. And if it's a
restaurant, maybe we will need to look at a little bit higher sign. So I guess I'm
just trying to leave that somewhat open at this point to give us the opportunity
depending on what we arrive at to determine then instead of locking ourselves
into ten feet at this point which mayor may not be, you know, may be
acceptable. I don't know. So I'm a little uncomfortable in that. The other thing
I')) just mention, I don't know, Shari, if you didn't mention 1.4 on Page 3. I didn't -
*** End of Side 3 ***
Stiles: -- tonight because I'm not in agreement with changing that.
Seel: Okay. Well, I don't know if it's just simply we need clarification on it. I
mean, I can explain - my concern about that one, I don't know if you want to
(inaudible) rain on your parade here.
Stiles: Mr. Seel had a concern because on Page 3, Item 1.4 of the conditional
use permit recommendation, it speaks to providing sewer and water to and
through the development. I believe that is an ordinance requirement, and I felt it
was covered by the remainder of that paragraph that said project designer is to
coordinate sizing and routing with the Public Works Department. Mr. Seel's
concern is that he's going to be required to extend sewer and water to and
through his property whether or not it's needed. It's - that's just the wording out
of our ordinance. That's the reason it reads the way it is. That's why I thought it
r
/
(
(
Meridian City Council
January 18, 2000
Page 50
should just stay as it read because the Public Works Department is not going to
require him to build lines that are not necessary.
Seel: That was my only concern. It was more simply a clarification. If we can tie
to sewer on Magic View, and I understand we can. I understand with water we
can't. But in the - if, in fact, we can go ahead and tie to sewer on Magic View, I
don't want to have language in there that might imply down the road that we
need to bring sewer through with what's referred to as St. Luke's Street. As we
all know, memories fade, and a year from now or a year-and-a-half from now,
somebody looks back and says, oh, Mr. Moore, you were supposed to put sewer
down St. Luke's Street. It says it right here, to and through. So I would just like
to have some clarification here that if it's necessary, we would put it in, but if it's
not necessary that it will not be a requirement. I'm not trying to go against the
ordinance because we've had to do the to-and-through policy before. I think it's
just clarification because we're talking two streets here with sewer and water
right now. That's my only thing.
Corrie: But you do agree, Jonathan, that perhaps that last sentence does take
that into consideration?
Seel: I think it generally does. I guess it doesn't completely satisfy me. You
know, I just want it - like I say, I just want something in my mind that's a little
clearer on that. As we say, we're talking two streets. We're going to be
(inaudible) ACHD is depending. I just don't want that to become an issue, and if
it's not necessary and someone down the road decides it, it would be nice to
have, but we don't necessarily need it. So maybe I'm being a little picky on this,
\ but as I say, we believe memories fade. So anyway, it's a minor thing. I think it's
just simply that and the signage are the only two items that I had any comments;
otherwise, we're in agreement with this.
Corrie: Council, any question of Jonathan?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Okay. Thank you. Anyone else that would like to issue testimony on
Item 7 the annexation and also the conditional use permit? Yes, sir.
Harl: My name is Chuck Harl and I live at 3043 Autumn Way in Meridian. Thank
you for your time this evening. I just would like to clarify that I'm a resident in
Greenhill Estates, and I would like to clarify a couple of things here. In particular,
the berm issue because it becomes a noise, light and privacy issue of separation
between this project and our residential subdivision. At the Planning and Zoning
meeting, we somehow came up with this four-foot berm on a 35-foot wide piece
of right-af-way, and it comes out to a 3:1 ratio, and I'm still confused on how this
works. Because even if the 35 feet is split in half, that's 17 feet, and 3: 1 is not
four. I - for some reason, I think we can raise this berm for a little bit more or a
Meridian City Council
January 18,2000
Page 51
little bit more of a privacy issue is what I'm concerned about here. We talked
about before what goes on top of this berm. I'm hearing now that we want a solid
six-foot fence that's made out of wood. At the P & Z meeting, we had requested
either brick or vinyl, something that doesn't need long-term maintenance.
Something that is permanent. This is what we're looking for. I don't think it's
really out of the question to do something like this if you look at the maintenance
costs that are going to be incurred by having wood on there as to no
maintenance on the other things. If we could have some clarification on why
exactly this berm is going to only be four-foot high, I would really appreciate that.
I guess those are my comments.
Corrie: Okay. (inaudible) comments, questions at this point? Thank you.
Anyone else that would like to issue testimony? Yes, sir.
Foley: My name is Howard Foley. I reside at 2875 Autumn Way in Meridian,
Idaho. I'm a resident of Greenhill Estates Subdivision, also, and I have, in
addition to Mr. Harl's comments or concerns, two others. I have the same
concern that was raised by Shari regarding the sign and Sign Ordinance. Our
subdivision has been through this process with Eagle Partners before where the
sign's not been designated and we've been back to hearings, and we've had
discussions about 1 aD-foot signs and whatever. Now, I understand we're going
to be maybe having another hearing about a 72-foot sign, and this seems to be
repetitious, and it seems that this is probably the time and the place for these
discussions to end so we don't find ourselves back again and again. It seems
appropriate to me that if these are going to be office buildings that the signage be
consistent with office buildings. That they be ground-level monument signs or
that they be signs on the buildings themselves, that they not be free-standing,
illuminated signs. Assuming that the offices will be open from eight to five, you
know, I'm just not sure we need 10, or as Councilman Anderson asked, 20-foot
or whatever they are illuminated signs. I know you've heard from us in our
subdivision on too many occasions, but I can assure you we're well illuminated
by signage from Jackson's and the Chevron's and the McDonald's in our
backyards as it is, and the further that development comes down our backyards,
the bigger the concern for us with free-standing, internally illuminated signs - just
some definition of what that's going to be and some consistency in terms with the
development seems appropriate to us. Certainly, the buildings have to have
signage, and we understand that, but we just don't see the need for it to be wide
open and then the signage issues that we've had to address before, all of us.
Secondly, I think there ought to be a Development Agreement. When I first
heard about the project and viewed it, I understand there is a proposal for a
restaurant. At one time, I'd heard the proposal was that the restaurant would be
internal to the office facility itself, would be one of those things where people who
worked inside the office buildings would come and have lunch or whatever the
case might be. Now I understand that the developer's not exactly sure what they
want. They really don't want to be tied down, understandably, I guess, if you
were in our position, we'd like them tied down. We'd like to know what they're
(
Meridian City Council
January 18, 2000
Page 52
going to do, we want to know if there's going to be restaurants that extend
beyond the eight to five timeframe, and if so, what kind of traffic and lighting, and
those kinds of things are going to go on. If that is done by the mechanism of a
Development Agreement, many of the applicants that come before you are
required to enter into Development Agreements, and that's a safeguard for us
through your process, and I'd ask that you pose that on the applicant. Thanks.
Corrie: Any questions for Howard?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Okay. Thank you, Howard. Anyone else from the public that would like
to issue testimony? Okay. Jonathan, any comments on the questions that were
raised?
Seel: Yes. Jonathan Seel, W.H. Moore Company. I think with respect to the
question about the berm and the fence, I think the thinking behind that was that if
we have a four-foot berm and a six-foot feet, you basically have ten feet there. I
think that would obstruct any type of lighting that would come from the cars. I
can appreciate their concern with the noise and lighting, and so I think that was
where it was addressed; the fact that we would put a four-foot berm with a six-
foot fence on top of it which would give you your ten feet. Presumably, that
should be adequate to eliminate the lighting. As far as the sound goes, I'm not
sure that you're ever going to completely eliminate noise there, and (inaudible)
given the fact that you also have, I don't know how many thousands of cars
running up and down Eagle Road every day and every night. So that's where
that came from. With respect to the question of the fence, I don't recall - my
memory's failed me before, but I don't recall any discussion or approval about a
vinyl or brick fence. I do recall some discussions about that, but we would be
opposed to that. You start getting into brick, you get into something very
substantial in terms of costs. It's not cheap. Winston Moore, I think you're
probably all familiar, is a well-respected developer in this community. He's not
one that kind of comes in here, throws up a project, sells it and blows out of town.
It's in his best interest to maintain this fence, too. We don't want that to
deteriorate if we end up, in fact, putting up a wood fence. We want that to look
nice. If that starts to deteriorate, then, obvious, that impacts our marketing
ability. We want full buildings. So, again, I would like to say that we would
(inaudible) wood fence. It would be attractive, it would be well-maintained as well
as the landscaping that's in our best interest. As far as the restaurant goes, I
would point out that we also say here that we are here for a conditional use
permit. In the event that we do come in for a restaurant, we will come back for a
CU. So we will come back at that point and there would be conditions put on us.
At this point, we don't know what kind of restaurant it is. We don't know what
kind of hours of operation. This is a concept. We know generally how it's going
to look, but we don't - that's one of the reasons we said to P & Z and we're
saying to City Council, that we are prepared to come back in the event it is a
,.-

restaurant and ask for a conditional use permit for that project. So you have
essentially another bite of the apple down the road as well as the homeowners
who can either say, yes, that's acceptable, or, no, we have a real problem with
that. So we are not proposing right now that, yeah, we are going to create a
restaurant tomorrow based on this. So I think that's an important point, and I
think that's my only comments.
Anderson: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: Generally what building you'd be looking at for a restaurant?
Seel: Yes. I think most likely if you're looking at it, you'd look at that building
right there. (inaudible) Right there. You know, our feeling is that because that is
so - that is close to the Chevron Station that that's going to be the most likely
place for a restaurant. We also feel that it's far enough away from the
homeowners that will not be disruptive to them - certainly minimize any
disruptions to them. That is right now what we visualize it as working out that
way. I think, again, that would minimize it and it backs up the gas station would
be the most likely place.
Anderson: Thank you.
Seel: Any other questions?
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. deWeerd.
deWeerd: Mr. Seel, would you be - since you'd have to come back for a CUP if
you put a restaurant in that spot to agree to a height on your signs because that
sign could be designated with that piece and could come through with a CUP at
that point.
Seel: Well, again, I would prefer at that point to address the sign on that.
Without knowing what type of restaurant it is -
deWeerd: Exactly. That's my point. You could commit to a height on the other
facilities, but in case that you did have to come back for a CUP on that particular
area, you could come back with the sign package at that time as well.
Seel: I don't see -- like I say, if you look around at anything that Winston
Moore's done, drive up and down Emerald or over Forest River (sic) stuff, you'll
see that those signs are monument-type signs that I think are seven, eight feet
tall. They're no more than that. They're a brick structure with (inaudible). They
(
Meridian City Council
January 18,2000
Page 54
have lights that shine up. They're not internally illuminated. I don't see where
that will, personally, where that will be a problem. I think that will go well with an
office complex.
deWeerd: Would you have a problem putting a ten-foot maximum on signage
with the exception if you come back with a CUP on the particular lot.
Seel: I don't think so. I think that's reasonable. Again, I understand the
homeowners' concerns that they don't want 150-foot sign shining down into the
backyard. We can appreciate that; the homeowners' concerns about that.
deWeerd: Just one last thing. I know that Shari and her changes had mentioned
if we didn't do a Development Agreement there was some other verbiage that
she suggested. Do you have a problem with either of those?
Seel: No. Because what we presented here is what we think is a concept, the
way it will generally look. We've talked about the building, the westerly
(inaudible), and I can't remember if that's Parcel A, but the northerly building
would be a one-story. Again, we know we're backing up to neighborhoods, so
we don't want it to be two-stories. The one below would be potentially a two-
story. So we see this as kind of a concept plan that we're going to do, so we're
comfortable with trying to stay within these perimeters. I don't see where we're
going to erratically deviate. We're not going to throw five buildings on this one
and six on that one or something like that.
deWeerd: So you wouldn't object to a Development Agreement?
Seel: A Development Agreement? Yes, I would.
deWeerd: That was part of my question. Okay.
Seel: Yeah. That's the whole thing. That's what we argued with before was that
we don't want to get locked in, quite honestly, if we are forced for that, then, you
know, we don't know at this point what precisely we're going to do, and if you get
into Development Agreements, they're a very specific thing. You have a concept
here, and I don't know if we - we don't - we're opposed to that.
deWeerd: That's alii had.
Corrie: Any other questions?
Bird: I have none.
Seel: Okay. Thank you very much.

Page 55
Corrie: Any other questions or any other testimony you would like to hear,
Council?
Bird: I have none.
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor, just for staff. Shari, since I didn't write every change down
that you had suggested, in regards to the Development Agreement versus the
other alternative, what are the differences between those two?
Stiles: Well, a Development Agreement will definitely lock them into exactly what
they proposed, what they've shown. I saw Mr. Gigray over there shaking his
head when I was talking about just making it a part of the annexation that all uses
had to be developed under the conditional use permit process as a planned
development. I think that we can do it that way. I think it can be included in the
Annexation Ordinance that that's a condition. It's just as easy, in fact, probably
easier to track than a Development Agreement; less staff intensive. I'm sure Mr.
Gigray wouldn't mind getting rid of some Development Agreements whenever he
has the opportunity. I think we have the same control by going with the
conditional use permit process as we would through a Development Agreement
with a lot fewer trees killed.
deWeerd: Thank you.
Corrie: Any other questions?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: With that, I will entertain a motion to close the public hearing on Item No.
7 and Item NO.8.
Bird: So moved.
Anderson: Second.
Corrie: Motion made and seconded to close the public hearing on Item No.7,
request for annexation and zoning, and Item No.8, request for conditional use
permit. Any further discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor of the motion
say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Corrie: Okay, Council. Let's take then one at a time. Item No.7. Mr. Gigray.
Gigray: I would advise the Council that it would be my legal opinion that
regarding Development Agreements that you can use them to craft conditions of
development as well as conditions of use. You don't have to include both. They
Meridian City Council
January 18,2000
Page 56
can include one or the other. I do not recommend that you have an Annexation
and a Zoning Ordinance that has conditions in the Zoning Ordinance because I
do not feel that there is clear statutory authority allowing that. I think the vehicle
which the Land Use Planning Act provides as a Development Agreement is a
condition of a rezone or a zoning designation, and that's why we've used those.
Now, if your ordinance which is proposed on this annexation requires a
conditional use permit in an L-O zone for what they proposed to do, then that
would take care of itself under the Zoning Ordinance. If it doesn't require a
conditional use permit, then if there's part of this that wouldn't be governed by the
conditional use permit, then the zoning without a Development Agreement
wouldn't control it. They would be able to do what the zone would allow.
Corrie: Any discussion?
Bird: I think Shari's got something to say.
Corrie: Shari.
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, I need to address what Bill just said. If I'm
hearing you right, you're saying that you can't include in an Annexation
Ordinance that as a condition of annexation, all uses shall be developed as
conditional uses, and that under the conditional use permit process as a planned
development. You can't do that?
Gigray: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, no. We can write it that way, I just
don't recommend that. I don't think that there's clear statutory authority. I think
you have an Annexation Ordinance that includes property, an annexation and
then we're required as soon as possible to zone it, and that Annexation
Ordinance includes a designation of the property in a zone. We have an
ordinance that prescribes what you can use property for in a particular zone. We
can't rewrite that Zoning Ordinance in an Annexation Ordinance, and I wouldn't
recommend that we try to do so, and I think that's the idea of Development
Agreements and why the statutes allow us to use them so that through the
Development Agreement as a condition of that zoning you can further limit the
use of the property and/or the development of the property in that agreement.
Now, if, for instance, the annexation were to the L-Q zone and the L-Q zone had
requirements in it that this developer, whatever that is they wanted to do,
required a conditional use permit by the terms of the L-Q zone, then what you've
recommended works under the terms of our own Zoning Ordinance. If that
doesn't work, if then - if you have an annexation into an L-O zone, then they can,
without a Development Agreement, then they would be able to develop the
property subject to whatever uses are permitted in that zone.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Meridian City Council

Bird: This is for Mr. Gigray. But if we, in approving the annexation and zoning to
an L-O, require that all buildings come under conditional use permit, then that
takes - they can't (inaudible) go back on that, can they? That takes place of the
Development Agreement?
Gigray: I'll be directed to draft the ordinance as you require. I just don't
recommend that because I think then you get into issues of conditional zoning,
but by specific ordinances, you have an ordinance that prescribes your zoning
regulations, and you can't amend that by various annexations. You have to go
back and change the whole ordinance. But you can, in the Idaho Land Use
Planning Act specifically gives you authority if you choose to exercise it, to
govern and restrict as a condition of the zoning, the use and/or the development
of the property. You don't have to do both. You can just do one. Or you could
do both, depending on how you see the evidence in the particular case and
what's reasonable. But if you started annexing property and zoning it subject to
conditions, we'd have a bunch of mini-zoning ordinances all over the place with
every annexation, and I just don't see in the Idaho Code clear authority to do
that. But if you direct me to draft the ordinance, I have to do what I'm directed to
do by the governing body which you are.
Corrie: Okay. It looks like you've got two choices. Annexation and zoning with
the Development Agreement or with the conditional use permit on the zoning.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: May I ask Shari - Shari, if I recall, I don't believe it's probably been the two
years I've been on here, but I believe we've done a lot of annexations and
zonings with conditional use permits, have we not, instead of Development
Agreements?
Stiles: Most of them ended up requiring a Development Agreement. Practically
everything that's been annexed since 1994 has a condition that they enter into a
Development Agreement.
Bird: Okay.
Anderson: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: I guess I just have a general question, then. This seems like a
development that we're not the only city that has these types of developments
where we don't actually know who the tenants are going to be at this point. How
are those other cities dealing with this same type of issue? Are they requiring
Meridian City Council
January 18, 2000
Page 58
Development Agreements or are we - is our ordinance restricting us or do we
need to look at that? I'm not - anybody that can answer it, I guess.
Bird: I'm with Councilman Anderson. I'd like to know, too.
Corrie: Shari, any idea?
Stiles: I believe Star is getting into requiring Development Agreements, Eagle is
way different and does require some Development Agreements, but they also
have very restrictive design review guidelines. Boise City has a lot of zones that
are design review. They have Design Review Committees which helps them a
lot, but when you are just trying to do it with Planning and Zoning and Council
and staff, it gets down to design review of practically every project that comes
through the door. That's why we put the Development Agreement requirement
on them because we may have conditions that aren't necessarily outlined in the
existing ordinance that is sometimes a lot of it's site-specific, too. Depending on
where it is, what the surrounding uses are, some of their presentations they may
make during the public hearings that they may say they're going to do that, but if
you can really tie them down with a Development Agreement, it's easier to
enforce, but I don't know how many Development Agreements Boise City has
done. I know that they do have the mechanism for them, but I believe, and
maybe Jonathan can even answer that, too. It's governed more by design review
in those other cities.
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. deWeerd.
deWeerd: It seems that you h"ave a little bit more control, a little bit more chance
of feedback with a conditional use permit, though. At least you can see what
they're proposing. If it's just under a Development Agreement, you don't see it, if
it's permitted.
Corrie: Shari.
Stiles: I don't particularly like the way Development Agreements are turning out
as far as - I mean, they are extremely restrictive. It says - it has - it's 50 pages
long, it has the Findings attached to it, it has an exact site plan that sometimes is
so restrictive that it doesn't leave them any room for even slight modifications
because of the way that it's written.
deWeerd: So it's almost better off that they come in and ask for annexation and
zoning without a plan. I've seen that happen. So why on earth do we allow that
to happen and don't put any conditional use permit requirements on but we're
holding - we're considering holding this one up because the CUP process is not
the way to go?
('

Page 59
Corrie: I don't think it's not a way to go. It's just one of the ways. Mr. Gigray.
Gigray: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, the only time that you have
authority to require a conditional use permit is if the applicant is in a zone and
they propose a use of that property that that Zoning Ordinance requires a
conditional use permit. They've already been annexed, they're already subject to
a Zoning Ordinance that applies to that property, and they propose to, let's say,
put a gas station in an L-Q zone, and in order to use that as a gas station, takes
a conditional use permit. Then you go through and they go through the
conditional use permit. But if the L-Q zone allows an office building, they don't
need a conditional use permit because the zone allows an office building. Now, if
in a Development Agreement, you require as a condition of giving the L-O zone
to the applicant that they go through a conditional use permit in order to get the
office building, you need a Development Agreement in my opinion. That's an
example. Obviously, in this application, one of these would be subject to a
conditional use permit, but I'm saying do not pass annexation ordinances with
zoning designations that include conditions on the zone because I don't think you
have clear, legal authority to do that. You have your zoning ordinance, and once
you're designated in that zone, it's subject to the terms and conditions of that
zone whatever they may be. Now, if you want to limit that further, then you do a
Development Agreement. Whether or not you do that is a matter of discretion
and determination. Yes, you could accommodate an application for annexation
and zoning and no development, and if you feel in your wisdom that's proper,
you'd grant the annexation and zoning with no conditions. You know, those are
going to be fact-driven by each application.
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. deWeerd.
deWeerd: Mr. Gigray, so can you request that a Development Agreement be
made but not particularly tying to that and ask for them to come through with
conditional use permits with their -
Gigray: You could have a Development Agreement simply just governed the
use, and it'd have a provision in there that any uses proposed of the property or
any development of the property would require a conditional use process and of
conditions.
Corrie: Any further discussion?
deWeerd: Well, Mr. Mayor, I guess some of the change in this, I would be
interested to hear what the applicant had to say.
Corrie: We can't do it. It's a public hearing.
Meridian City Council
January 18, 2000

deWeerd: That would be my proposal. I would move that we re-open the public
hearing.
Bird: ('II second it.
Corrie: Motion's made and seconded to re-open the public hearing on Item No. 7
and 8. Any further discussion? All those in favor of the motion say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
Corrie: All right. Let's hear what you've got to say, Jonathan. .
Seel: I think there's a couple things to think about here. This kind of caught me
flatfooted because I didn't think we'd be going through this again. The City
needs the road and County wants to put it in, and Winston Moore - let me back
up. The process behind us was Winston wanted to, about six months ago,
wanted to get an idea how this road would be laid out. He went to ACHD and
said to them, we'd like to know how much right-of-way you'll be taking and how's
this going to be used so we can begin to design a concept plan on this project so
we can begin to market it. ACHD's comment at that point was, okay, you go
ahead and submit an application, and based on that, we'll be able to determine
what kind of road we put. Based on that, we came up with a concept plan is
what we're proposing here which we don't see is going to radically deviate from
this. This is an L-O zone, we are allowed to put office in here. With multiple
office, we go through the conditional use. So we submitted this concept plan
without knowing precisely how this is all going to work out because we haven't
started the marketing process yet, and we don't know how market conditions are
going to dictate for this. So we have a concept plan here. I don't want to say this
as a threat, but this is almost verbatim from Winston, is if the City of Meridian
requires me to do a Development Agreement that's very specific, then I'll simply
pull the application. He doesn't want to get locked into something because we
don't know. As Shari's said, we've gone through this before where it gets so
specific is the type of building, the size, the footprint and everything else, and we
begin to deviate from that, we're back here, and we don't want to do that. That's
just counterproductive. I don't think you enjoy listening to me talk, and I certainly
don't want to be here until 11 :00 multiple times. I'm not trying to be smart here,
I'm just trying to lay it out. What we're trying to do is say, okay, this is generally
what we're going to do. It's an L-Q zone. The homeowners, from what I
understand, and Billy Ray is probably spent many meetings here with
homeowners and their concerns, they wanted office, we're proposing office with
a possibility of a restaurant which we will come back under a conditional use
permit to provide. So we're not really talking about a restaurant today. The
restaurant is for all intents and purposes in my mind off the table. We're just
saying that there's just a possibility down the road, we're kind of laying out.
Maybe it'd be better if we never had. So we're trying to give you a concept plan,
but we don't know if this is specific. If we get a particular type of tenants or
Meridian City Council
January 18, 2000
Page 62
something like that with some latitude in there, you know, we're not proposing
gas stations or any of the other things. We're basically talking office here, and
we will say office, and we said that at the P & Z with the possibility of a restaurant
of a conditional use. We will not come back here and ask anyone else here for -
oh, we changed our mind, and we'd like to put a Shell Gas Station on that corner.
We'd like to put a retail complex. We won't and we said that at P & Z. I think
we're trying to be fairly specific and give everybody the comfort they need.
(inaudible) answers questions. Kind of in a nutshell.
Corrie: Any other questions?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Thank you, Jonathan. I think you answered the question.
Anderson: Mr. Foley wants to comment.
Corrie: If somebody opens it up, comment (inaudible) Howard.
Foley: I'm Howard Foley. From my perspective, I don't represent the
homeowners either, but I just represent myself. I'm not opposed to a general,
loosely-written Development Agreement. My concern is the lack of specifics as
to what mayor may not go in there that isn't office building. That's my concern,
and I want the staff or the City to continue to have some control over it. I
understand legal counsel to say is if you just annex it L-O, you're done. No other
conditions. You can't put conditions on it that are other than limited office. If it's
limited office, it's just a limited office. Restaurants aren't limited offices. That's
my only concern that they're continuing to be some kind of control. If we had the
Design Review, then that would be some further control. We just don't have it.
So that seems to me, and I think that would be acceptable to me as a resident, if
we had a Development Agreement that simply said, if you're going to do
something beyond limited office or those kinds of things that you go through
something that's akin to the conditional use permit or something that gives us
notice and opportunity to come in and talk with staff and say, gee, these are the
concerns that we have. That's really my concern, and we have given what I
understand Mr. Seel to have said if that's acceptable to the applicant. I think that
would be acceptable to us, also, but, you know, we've had these issues before
where we think we know what's going on, and then it's sort of gets a life of its
own and it sort of changes. Then we are back here lots and lots, and I don't want
to do this anymore either. So, that's my only concern.
Corrie: Thank you, Howard. Is that what you were saying, Jonathan?
Seel: I think (inaudible) 30 seconds because I think we have gone through this. I
think that's all we're really saying here. We will put a:n office here. We will put in
there we will be very specific. It's not going to be a 'ga's station, it's not going to
(

Page 63
be retail, it's not going to be a liquor store, whatever it is. It's going to be office
here. What type of office? It could be medical, it could be general, but it will be
office. Then, if we do come with a restaurant, we'll come back with a conditional
use permit, again, you've got that second bite at the apple. So I think we're all in
agreement here. You know, I think we could accept that.

Hawker: I'm with the applicant, and our issue is simply with we have made a
commitment on the property, and we have got to finalize where we are in this
project or our commitments on this thing - we started - we applied in August, we
were deferred through Planning and Zoning, we were deferred through ACHD,
and it just keeps going on and on and on, and I know the timing was bad with the
first of the year and the new City Council members that have come on for the last
hearing that we were supposed to be on. So-
Corrie: One of the things, if I open it, it'll have to be continued to the first, so it'll
be the same thing because we've got people that left that have a right to testify.
Hawker: Well, I understand. I don't know what to say other than (inaudible)
specific commitments that we have got to make and I would just hate to have that
go - I think we have a plan in front of the City Council that we can talk about
tonight. I know there are several neighbors that had some concerns, and I think
we've got a plan that we will present to you that will alleviate the concerns that
they had.
Corrie: That may well be, but they're not here.
Hawker: Well (inaudible) -
Corrie: So that's why we have to have the continued public hearing. You're in a
Catch-22 here. Some people have left because of the hour.
Hawker: I understand.

anybody here that, you know, -- told them that if it comes 10:30, we were going
to decide on these two things to go, and then at that point, five or six people left.

a huge financial commitment that we have to make to go ahead and close on
those pieces of property, and without knowing that my development is approved
as part of this, there's a huge financial risk that I take there.

Smith: Mr. Mayor, Council members, I received a transmittal from City Clerk
Berg concerning this request. This property is located on the west side of Linder
Road approximately across the street from I think it was the last addition of the
Landing Subdivision. It appears from our zoning map it's contiguous, its frontage
on Linder Road is contiguous to what was previously annexed as part of the
Landing Subdivision, I think, No.7, which is the southerly most piece. My
recommendation is that the property be annexed as part of the approval to
connect to city water and sewer which does exist in Linder Road. I think that's all
I have to say.
Corrie: Thank you. (inaudible) comments?
Bird: Do you want an annexation and everything in this, Gary?
Smith: Mr. Mayor, Council members, Councilman Bird, I think that unless it's part
of the approval, that property will not be annexed. It'll remain as County property
and we'll just have an enclave that will continue on in that area as the -
Corrie: They're not requesting annexation, are they?
Smith: No, sir. The request was just to connect to city sewer and water.
Corrie: If there's no incentive to (inaudible) Mr. Bird. Mr. Gigray.
Gigray: Point of information for the Mayor and Council and maybe the Public
Works Director can answer this. You have with your packet Ordinance No. 852
which the Council passed which is certain requirements that have to be met in
order for property to connect the water system outside of the city limits as well as
the sewer system, and it doesn't look to me as if the application which is here
submitted by Mr. Ware meets the requirements of that ordinance which is that in
the application that they would consent to the te(ms and conditions required by
these sections, and then that initiates a process where the Public Works Director
does an analysis about the affect of this hooking up on the system. One of the
things they have to agree to is the Council grants the application, it will include as
a condition that the legal owners of the parcel will enter into an agreement for the
extension of the water. In the case of the sewer, the sewer which provides that
they will agree that the ordinances apply and that it will be, in fact, if it's
annexable, that they will agree to the annexation. I don't see this letter including
- maybe Mr. Ware is here and can further clarify that, but it just doesn't seem like
it meets the requirements of the ordinance.
Corrie: Is that you?
Ware: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, my name is Randy Ware, I live at
1 0464 Shady Brooke in Boise. I talked to Mr. Smith earlier today about the
application, and, apparently, there isn't - hasn't been one made up yet.
(--- 1
Meridian City Council

Smith: Correct.
Ware: So I would like to state for the record though, that I do agree to the terms
and conditions of what is in this ordinance as far as anything - annexing into the
city limits and any of the other things that are in here. Basically, the application -
the ordinance - the application basically addresses items A, B, C, D, E and F
which are, in my opinion, only a formality which basically states that I will agree
to the terms and conditions of the agreement that we put together. All I'm trying
to do is hook up to city sewer and water out there on a couple of lots, and I think
that this ordinance allows for that, but the fact that there is no application
shouldn't penalize me from doing that. This ordinance went into effect December
7th and was in full force January 7th. You know, I'm ready to go with it, but it's not
my fault that there isn't an application for me to fill out.
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. deWeerd.
deWeerd: Mr. Gigray, if this were to be approved, the request, can conditions be
placed that he follow up with the application for annexation and zoning?
Gigray: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council and Councilperson deWeerd, we do
have form agreements that match these requirements for property owners to
sign, and then we record them. I might note that when you remember that a
water and sewer system has - there are many ordinances in place that protect
your water and sewer system, and if properties located outside of the city limits,
those ordinances don't apply. But what we do with the agreement is include
those as a condition of providing water and sewer so that they do apply to the
system and the delivery of the water and the sewer so that you protect your
sewer system against overloads and things that can happen that can cause
problems, and you can enforce it. Secondly, the agreement requires that if the
property is annexable, quite frankly, it's an agreement to be annexed if it's legally
possible, and in this instance, if it abuts the property, you could proceed to
annexation even because it's considered their consent. I think what Gary is
requesting in this instance that they would make an application for annexation
which I think requires a filing fee of some kind and they would initiate that
application rather than the City initiating it on its own. That's how I understand
Gary's comment. That could be included in the order if you choose to do that.
But I would say, I think these issues are important particularly what I see on the

Smith: Mr. Mayor, Council members, I received a transmittal from City Clerk
Berg concerning this request. This property is located on the west side of Linder
Road approximately across the street from I think it was the last addition of the
Landing Subdivision. It appears from our zoning map it's contiguous, its frontage
on Linder Road is contiguous to what was previously annexed as part of the
Landing Subdivision, I think, No.7, which is the southerly most piece. My
recommendation is that the property be annexed as part of the approval to
connect to city water and sewer which does exist in Linder Road. I think that's all
I have to say.
Corrie: Thank you. (inaudible) comments?
Bird: Do you want an annexation and everything in this, Gary?
Smith: Mr. Mayor, Council members, Councilman Bird, I think that unless it's part
of the approval, that property will not be annexed. It'll remain as County property
and we'll just have an enclave that will continue on in that area as the -
Corrie: They're not requesting annexation, are they?
Smith: No, sir. The request was just to connect to city sewer and water.
Corrie: If there's no incentive to (inaudible) Mr. Bird. Mr. Gigray.
Gigray: Point of information for the Mayor and Council and maybe the Public
Works Director can answer this. You have with your packet Ordinance No. 852
which the Council passed which is certain requirements that have to be met in
order for property to connect the water system outside of the city limits as well as
the sewer system, and it doesn't look to me as if the application which is here
submitted by Mr. Ware meets the requirements of that ordinance which is that in
the application that they would consent to the terms and conditions required by
these sections, and then th~t initiates a process where the Public Works Director
does an analysis about the affect of this hooking up on the system. One of the
things they have to agree to is the Council grants the application, it will include as
a condition that the legal owners of the parcel will enter into an agreement for the
extension of the water. In the case of the sewer, the sewer which provides that
they will agree that the ordinances apply and that it will be, in fact, if it's
annexable, that they will agree to the annexation. I don't see this letter including
- maybe Mr. Ware is here and can further clarify that, but it just doesn't seem like
it meets the requirements of the ordinance.
Corrie: Is that you?
Ware: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, my name is Randy Ware, I live at
1 0464 Shady Brooke in Boise. I talked to Mr. Smith earlier today about the
application, and, apparently, there isn't - hasn't been one made up yet.

Smith: Correct.
Ware: So I would like to state for the record though, that I do agree to the terms
and conditions of what is in this ordinance as far as anything - annexing into the
city limits and any of the other things that are in here. Basically, the application -
the ordinance - the application basically addresses items A, B, C, 0, E and F
which are, in my opinion, only a formality which basically states that I will agree
to the terms and conditions of the agreement that we put together. All I'm trying
to do is hook up to city sewer and water out there on a couple of lots, and I think
that this ordinance allows for that, but the fact that there is no application
shouldn't penalize me from doing that. This ordinance went into effect December
7th and was in full force January 7th, You know, I'm ready to go with it, but it's not
my fault that there isn't an application for me to fill out.
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. deWeerd.
deWeerd: Mr. Gigray, if this were to be approved, the request, can conditions be
placed that he follow up with the application for annexation and zoning?
Gigray: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council and Councilperson deWeerd, we do
have form agreements that match these requirements for property owners to
sign, and then we record them. I might note that when you remember that a
water and sewer system has - there are many ordinances in place that protect
your water and sewer system, and if properties located outside of the city limits,
those ordinances don't apply. But what we do with the agreement is include
those as a condition of providing water and sewer so that they do apply to the
system and the delivery of the water and the sewer so that you protect your
sewer system against overloads and things that can happen that can cause
problems, and you can enforce it. Secondly, the agreement requires that if the
property is annexable, quite frankly, it's an agreement to be annexed if it's legally
possible, and in this instance, if it abuts the property, you could proceed to
annexation even because it's considered their consent. I think what Gary is
requesting in this instance that they would make an application for annexation
which I think requires a filing fee of some kind and they would initiate that
application rather than the City initiating it on its own. That's how I understand
Gary's comment. That could be included in the order if you choose to do that.
But I would say, I think these issues are important particularly what I see on the
horizon of potential legislation that might require votes for annexation of
properties where the property owner is not in favor of it and if there's a reason to
- if we're supplying water and sewer, I think you would want to do what you could
to assure that that consent has already been given, and that's what this is
designed to require. It sounds like with the applicant's testimony here today, on

the record, that he is - we have something in the record that says he will agree to
that.
Corrie: Okay. Any comments, questions?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Gary.
Smith: Mr. Mayor, Council members, we do have an agreement for connection
of property outside the city limits; I think that's what Bill's referring to. It does
include a provision for annexation. We do not have an application that is outlined
in this ordinance. I have not developed that application yet. That's what I related
to Mr. Ware today on the telephone, but as Bill points out, it's my
recommendation that the property be annexed as part of the provision to provide
or for them to connect, and Mr. Ware's agreeing to that. I would assume that he
would be agreeable to sign this - at least review and enter into the agreement
that we have for provision of providing of service outside - for property outside
the city limits, presently outside the city limits.
Ware: Mayor, members of the Council, I would agree to that. I do have a
request, though, that while this process of annexation is taking place that I be
allowed to go ahead and begin the hook-up process that is involved. Timing-
wise it would be much more beneficial.
Bird: (inaudible) with that.
Corrie: Could be done (inaudible) Council wants to do it.
Smith: Mr. Mayor, Council members, I mentioned to Randy on the phone today
that I don't have a problem with that proposal as long as the process continues
on. If the process stalls for any reason and it goes away, then so will the
connection. We will eliminate the connection.
Corrie: You have no problem with that?
Ware: No problem with that.
Smith: Okay.
Anderson: (inaudible)
Gigray: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, I wanted to intervene here just so
Gary could comment. My recommendation would be that in the agreement and
the order we would make a requirement that he make application for annexation
and zoning into the city, and, of course, would not impede that process. The city
would not pre-commit itself on an issue like that because it's quasi-judicial by
/'--

saying the service would be disconnected. I think that once that process gets
started, it will complete itself on its own, and as long as we have a provision in
there that the property owner wouldn't impede that process, I think that could
protect us as long as Gary's comfortable with that. See, my point is that, you
know, we still have to have a fair and impartial decision maker at some point on
the annexation and zoning, and I just want to protect that on the one side in this.
As long as if he turns around and sells and we have a provision in the agreement
that they won't impede that process, it can move forward anyway.
Corrie: Mr. Smith.
Smith: Okay with me.
Corrie: All right. Then I will entertain a motion to that effect.
Anderson: Mr. Mayor, I'll take a stab at this. I would make a motion that we
allow Mr. Randy Ware to hook up to city water and sewer on properties located
on Lots 13A and 13B in the Van Hees Subdivision on Linder Road providing that
he make application to the City for annexation and zoning and does not impede
that progress.
Bird: Second.
Corrie: Okay. Motion made by Mr. Anderson, seconded by Mr. Bird to approve
the hook-up to city water and sewer with agreement that they make the
application to the city annexation and zoning without impeding the process of the
water and sewer. Any further discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor of the
motion say aye.

Corrie: Department Reports. Treasurer, is Janice still here?
Smith: Mayor and Council, Ron was asking earlier in the evening about the
variance that we had, and I pulled out my notebook, a copy that was given to
them in December and that shows a variance. On the white page, it also gives
you some past history also. But for the report tonight, I also typed up something
in case you forgot what I, you know, as it's been a long night and everything, and
you might have some questions later. What I wanted to go over tonight quickly
was the summary that you got this month was a little bit different format because
I
i
\
Meridian City Council
January 18, 2000
Page 73
we updated our software which they do at a regular basis, and they lost our
summary (inaudible) fund, so we just did it in Excel. It just looks a little bit
different than normal. We should have it fixed by the end of the week. Okay.
Another change on Number 2 there, the Idaho Power Utility expenses on all the
funds are not in there because Idaho Power is doing some changing to, I guess,
like the City of Meridian on their utility billing. Anyway, if you looked in your
summary on your Page 9 in the general, it's like $10,000 short because of the
utility billing. Page 2 and 4 of the Enterprise Fund, it's short a couple thousand,
too. So we will be getting with Idaho Power to find out if this is going to be
happening on a regular basis. We may have to at year-end make an adjustment
or request them to do some changes on their billing for the City for the cut-off
date. We'll get with the department heads. I'm sure that they have notices - will
be noticing it to let them know, the heads, up on what Idaho Power's going to do
for us. Then you'll notice on the revenue, on the summary - do you guys happen
to have your statement in front of you? Looks like this. Okay. You'll notice that
the revenues are getting pretty low here. Our expenses are exceeding our
revenues. We do have some money in the bank. This is normal for this time of
the year. We'll be getting our tax dollars at the end of this month or the first part
of February. We may have to pull some money out of the investments to cover
January's payroll. If you'll notice on the - with the Fire Department, with their
expenses and then also with the Enterprise when you go back to your Enterprise,
you'll see they're spending a lot on their projects, their capital projects that
they're working on. So by the end of this week, we'll have some figures, and
then we have an investment committee that the Mayor was on, City Clerk,
myself, and it was Charlie Rountree. I'm not sure who you appointed to take his
place. Keith? Okay. So we'll have to get together and decide if we're going to
have to pull some out of investments. We haven't had to do this since 1993.
We've been operating really good, but we've been spending money the last few
years with the Fire Department getting - last year also with everybody getting up
their hardware for the Y2K which is this fiscal year, October through December
we did a lot of that. In your packet you didn't receive the investment report.
That's because we haven't received the Treasurer's Department - the State
Treasury's Report. They were behind a month also. So as soon as we get that,
you'll get an investment report. I thought I brought a copy in here of what we had
in there. Just a second. Last month there was 30 million in there. But you'll get
that breakdown on that at the end of this month. Before then. It should be within
a few days. Okay. On Issue No.5, the County Department has completed their
part, our part on the 1999 audit. The auditors are waiting for the Council
members' decision on Resolution 140. I think that was brought up a couple times
and it hasn't been addressed in the last few years. The way we see it,
Resolution 140 was binding on - I think you guys need to have an actual
workshop on this, discuss it in further detail instead of trying to make any
decision on it tonight. When you decide on that, they said they'd get us the
rough draft of the audits. Then I usually go over the rough draft for any
corrections, could be verbiage or some dollar figure, and that should be within a
couple days, and they hope to have it in your hands by the end of this month. I
(
Meridian City Council
January 18, 2000
Page 74
know it says in the ordinance, there is an ordinance that puts my department on
the line, it should be done, can't remember right off hand. I did pull it out, but it
should be done before now. There were some issues that they went over the
latecomers with a fine-tooth comb this year, and we've got that pretty well done
with the Bill Nichols here, with his help, and the City Engineer, I think we've got it
fine-tuned. That won't have to be brought up again. We did - they appropriated
so much money for the latecomers, so that wasn't an issue, but it was an issue
up to the end of December. Between Bill and the Engineering Department, we
agreed on a figure~ So I guess if you have any questions on the audit, check with
our auditors. That would be Kevin Anderson. If you guys want to push them, just
skip that 140, they can get that rough draft over to me. They already gave me
one rough draft, and I had some corrections, sent it back. So other than that, if
you guys want to pursue it, get it done now and forget Resolution 140, but it
hasn't - on the last two years, they haven't addressed that.
Bird: Excuse me, Mr. Mayor. Janice, Resolution 140, what does that do with the
P & L of the City? Why does that hold up the audit? You either - what you do
with the excess money - I want to know how much excess money I've got.
That's what the audit does; it tells us how we ran, how much we had left over.
Resolution 140 tells us what we do with it.
Smith: Right. And-
Bird: To make the audit, I can't'see where that had a thing to do with Resolution
140.
Smith: Well, if you looked in prior audits, it was addressed as the reserve - it
was as excess fund revenue. When Blucoff (sic) has taken over, they didn't even
address it, and they noticed an error this year. The wordage, whether it be
excess funds from the building fund or general, it's - to me it's one in the same.
It's just wordage. Here you've got one wordage here and usually every city has
excess - if they have excess revenue, they will decide at the end of the year or
the beginning of the next year, and a Resolution can override another Resolution.
Bird: Janice, I agree with you, but what gets me is I don't have a thing to do with
the audit of what you do.
Smith: Bill has some input on that. Bill Gigray - I've had - he's been helping me
with this.
Gigray: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, the only thing I can understand, I
don't know specifically to answer your question, I would summarize or surmise
that it's probably would be a comment usually the audits have comments in them
about things that need to be done and what their recommendations are, and they
would probably list Resolution 140 and the matters related to that as a comment
for proposed future action. You'd have to check with them, but that'd be my
Meridian City Council
January 18, 2000
Page 75
guess. I guess maybe if they thought action was going to be taken on that, they
would delete that as a comment. But I don't know for sure. That'd be my guess.
Bird: I just have a hard time figuring out why the - I mean, this is the first year
we've ever used anything other than revenue and taxation and stuff, and we took
that money out of the - two million out of the fund balance, so what we've got left
over, I mean, you know, in the private world, man, you know, that's what you look
for is what's left over at the end of the year. That's your problem. So why is a
Resolution holding up a whole lot? That I don't understand.
Smith: Well, the way we see it worded in the Accounting Department, it says all
excess funds need to - would go into the building reserve fund, but then you
have some restricted funds which, of course, are the park impact fees, we know
those are restricted, and also the fire truck funds. But then, also, the Parks
Department has capital projects that they - that he doesn't spend, and those
should go to that building reserve fund, but then he also wants to take that and
re-budget it which he has done on some, but when it's put into the building
reserve fund, it's there. It's not - just because some of the Department Heads
think that since they didn't spend it, well, I still have this from last year. I can
spend it again. But it's not. It has gone to the ,building reserve fund by that
Resolution.
Bird: Yeah. You wouldn't let Bill and I do it at the end of the year last year. We
wanted to do something and you told us no. That's why I'm saying that. You
know, you come to the end, if you're $100 over after you do your P & L, which is
your audit, what you do with that $100 whether you give it to your Board of
Directors or what you do with it doesn't have anything to do with the audit.
Smith: Yeah.
Bird: That's why I'm really wondering why Resolution 140 is holding up the
whole audit.
Smith: Well, January 6th there were two other things that were holding it up, too,
but as of January 7th, the only thing left was Resolution 140. He came to me to
explain, Kevin Anderson, I guess, got the dates wrong. He wanted to help
interpret it the way he is an auditor in the accounting field interprets it. I will tell
him just put it on our management letter of what they would like us to get cleaned
up.
Bird: You know, Janice-
Smith: He's got it all done other than -
Bird: -- this is certainly no reflection on any people or anything. We pass an
ordinance to the citizens of this - taxpayers of this community. Because of a
Meridian City Council
January 18, 2000
Page 76
simple fact that it was four and five years of getting audits before. Two years
ago, when Ron and I came on here, we said this is not going to happen anymore.
You have to do it in the private world, why can't you do it in the public world?
You've got a date in the private, we've got a date to meet here. These people
are very good, but I - maybe I'm thick-headed, and I'm probably not
understanding, but I can't see how a Resolution that deals with profit holds up an
audit.
Smith: With an ordinance that you created on having the audit complete by
January -
Bird: Fifteenth.
Smith: -- is making us tow the line which we have done.
Bird: And you've done a good job.
Smith: All of a sudden - I'll get on them. I'll tell them to fax it over tomorrow and
I'll review it.
Bird: If you can't get anything, ask the Mayor to call. I mean, he should have
some power with them. Ask the Mayor to call.
Corrie: Will do.
Smith: Yeah, because to me, an ordinance overrides a Resolution.
Bird: And a Resolution, that Resolution 140 is profit money. It doesn't have a
thing to do with your P & L.
Smith: Yeah. It's capital improvement.
Bird: But it's money that's in excess that you've made that year. You want to
see a whole bunch of it. If you have a loss, you're not going to be in business
very long. But that Resolution 140 deals with profit; profit is what you determine
out of your audit. Now, tell me why that stops it.
deWeerd: Don't shoot the messenger, Keith.
Anderson: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: Before Keith has a heart attack, I would like to maybe request at our
Strategic Planning Meeting that Janice come and explain to me, when we divided
this money up and took that two million dollars in December and divided that
Meridian City Council
January 18, 2000
Page 77
amongst the different departments and their capital expenditures, we'd had it
down to $25,000 was all that was left as far as fudge money, and I'm really
concerned and embarrassed to hear that there was $700 or $814,000, so I would
like for you to explain to me at that Strategic Planning Meeting and maybe take a
little more time and go through the numbers how we got that much of a variance,
and if there is that much of a variance then maybe we need to look at some of
the other programs that we didn't fund this year and then maybe take some time
and explain that latecomers in more detail, too, because the last thing I
understood, we were going to have to be paying people back $200,000, and I
don't know what's happened with that. I would like to have you spend more time,
and if it takes legal counsel and Gary to help explain that, I'd like to have more
explanation. Not here tonight, but where we can go over those numbers.
Smith: And when is the next Strategic Planning Session?
Bird: January 25th, Janice.
Smith: Okay. That'd be great. If you do look on that pink slip, Budget in 1998-
99, the capital outlay at that time was like - actually, that was the budget amount;
the $2,435,000 and when you - to me as a scenario, when you told everybody
no capital outlay, nobody gets any capital outlay, we will give $2,000,000 in
capital outlay, well there was more than $2,000,000 they had budgeted for capital
outlay. When you go three percent of the other expenses meaning the personnel
and operating, that really went - made it go way down. I can give you some
spreadsheets on that.
Anderson: If you explain that in more detail next week, I'd appreciate it.
Smith: But I thought this might help with also the new Council members coming
on. We will give them a notebook.
deWeerd: I think we're going to have to meet prior to the meeting so you can
probably give us a heads-up on what we're going to know next week.
Smith: I'll give you some samples of what the Council got first when all the
departments that we want, we want, we want, and then (inaudible) you get, you
get, you get. So I've got all those spreadsheets, and I'll pull those together and
try not to make it so cumbersome as many sheets they got throughout the budget
year.

out local veterinarians to sell our dog licenses, and it's basically just giving them
the authority to do it and explains how they have to get the money back to uS~ It
needs to be signed yearly by the Mayor and the City Clerk. I think it deals with
three or four of our veterinarians. Since we started doing that, our dog licenses
just quadrupled, so it was a way for us to get those licenses out to more people.
Bird: Is it a generic, all four of them in one or do we have to do it individually?
Gordon: They're all individual agreements with each veterinarian.

D. City Attorney - Bill Gigray:
1 ~ Police Building Site Negotiations Report:
Gigray: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, on my report, first item that's listed
concerns the negotiations for the site of the proposed new police station. As a
result of the discussions and the information that was provided to me, I have
prepared for your consideration a Resolution which vvould amend Resolution 277
which was your previous authorization to make the $805,000 offer on the
property- I've tried to set forth in the Findings the concerns of - has concerning
this property as well as setting out in the various sections here the conditions of
the offer. Where we are is we make - the City made an offer on the property, the
seller came back with an addendum to that offer which basically had some
provisions that would include the City as a co-developer of this 20-acre parcel of
which the 1 0 acres that the City is interested in would come out of. We received
recommendations from Gary Smith, the Public Works Director, concerning some
environmental issues with that site which are just a due-diligence type of issue~
Then, concerns with regards to how to address the addendum. The specific
counter offer here would be that we would propose a closing of April 1 Oth~ That's
a Monday and that would follow the first Tuesday in April of this year that we
would obtain or require that the seller obtain and/or the seller pay for the
transactional screen, environmental site assessment update which the
information received by Gary Smith and the advice was that that should be
updated because I think the screen that you have was done in '98; that the seller
at their expense would make application from Ada County to obtain an
administrative lot split since the parcel that you are making the offer on is not a
legal parcel at this point in time, and the idea of that would be that the Ada
County could process that application quicker than the City~ At the same time,
the seller make application to the City for annexation and zoning of the property
as an R-8~ The R-8 zone will allow public use, the public use would, of course,
have to come in as a conditional use after zoning~ The advantage of an R-8
zone rather than the other zone which is referenced here is that L-Q zone which
'NOuld be a permitted public use is that that may propose some Camp Plan
problems, and we don't have that problem with an R-8 zone~ There was a
concern about being able to use the property, and that is what Item 4 on Page 3
of this Resolution is designed to address, and that is that the seller would agree
to complete the infrastructure for improvements to the west of the property
including the construction of the road, sewer, water, power, cable, gas and
telephone to the subject property and stub in the cul-de-sac as access to this
property within one year of the date of closing. Further, the seller \IVOuld agree to
do the improvements and the construction of the road across the northern portion
of the property being purchased which is 1,013 feet and then would do the
(

Page 82
necessary road and curb cuts, sidewalks, water and sewer, at cetera, to City
specifications, and that the City would agree to pay the seller an amount not
greater than $152,000 within 30 days of final completion of that roadway and the
infrastructure as provided. So this is for your consideration. I have been
contacted by Dave Williams who is the co-realtor here and have advised him that
this matter is before you for your consideration. I think we faxed him a copy of
this proposed resolution~
Bird: They've got to still accept it, of course.
Gigray: Absolutely~
Bird: This is - Bill, I've got one question. I thought we said we were going to offer
on the $152,000 to pay one-half of the costs not to exceed $152,000.
: That's correct.
Gigray: Well, we can very easily pay -I'm reading the word upay" here. I mean,
we could very easily include in here that -
Bird: That way, if it comes out, you know, it might only be 1 0 or 12, it might be
$2,000 or something. We might as well have the $2,000 to put into our building
or whatever. You know, that one-half of the costs not to exceed $152,000. At
1 ,015 lineal feet, depending on location of the - I don't know how the utilities are
going on. A couple contractors I talked to said that you could probably get it
between $270,000 and $280,000 so that vvould be quite a savings~
Corrie: We just need to have (inaudible)
Bird: One-half not to exceed $152,000. That is - I mean, I'm just one guy.
Whatever you guys think.
Gigray: I think you're probably right.
Corrie: (inaudible) Do we need to do the Resolution tonight 50 that they can
have that (inaudible)?
Gigray: You could indude in your motion that we would prepare a revision of
Condition 5 to include and specify that the City's agreement to pay is for only
one-half of the cost of the installation.
Bird: What is Resolution No. (inaudible) Will? Beg your pardon?
Berg: 286. Excuse me, Mr~ Mayor. Just a typo referring to Dee Jay Subdivision.
I believe it's D-E-E J-A-Y that's you're referring to just 50-

- I don't know if it's platted yet or not. Do you remember if Dee Jay is a platted
subdivision?
Smith: Mr. Mayor and Council members, it's not platted yet; that is, it's not a
recorded plat yet. The development plans have been approved for the extension
of the sewer and the water. I don't believe it's been recorded yet, though.
Gigray: What is its correct name? I'm sorry.
Bird: D-E-E J-A- Y.
Gigray: Is it all caps? Oh. I see. Unfortunately, I had a secretary named D.J.
and she spelled it this way. So I may have subliminally put her in the subdivision.
Bird: We're just glad to see this once in awhile so 'Ne know you're human.
Gigray: Well, you know that every time you see that.
deWeerd: So on No.5, you're going to put one-half of the roadway.
Bird: Not to exceed $152,000. Mr. Mayor. I move that we approve Resolution
No~ 286 with the changing on Item 4 to D-E-E, J-A-Y Subdivision and also on
Item No.5, the last sentence the City shall agree to pay to seller one-half of the
amount of the roadway not to exceed $152,000 and for the Mayor to sign and the
Clerk to attest~
Anderson: Second. Thousand.
Bird: Yeah. $152,000.
Corrie: Motion made and seconded to approve the Resolution No. 286. All
those in favor -
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. deWeerd.
deWeerd: On Item No.5, wouldn't that be, and the second sentence put "one-
half of the necessary roadway" and then - because you need to include the
infrastructure. Is that correct?
Bird: (inaudible)
deWeerd: Instead of one-half there?
(
Meridian City Council

Page 84
Bird: He has to do the whole thing, and then down here we agree to pay half not
to exceed $152,000.
deWeerd: Yeah, but you were putting the roadway in here. Wouldn't it -
Bird: No. It just - the roadway comes in here. He's got to put that whole
roadway in, and we agree - and the utility stuff - we agree to pay half of it not to
exceed $152,000. He's got to put it I, not us.
deWeerd: Right.
Gigray: The way I would anticipate limiting this so it doesn't get out of control
depending on what their subdivision plans are that it would just be in that 1,013-
foot roadway, and that's where stubbing and curbing would be. Now, if for some
reason it would appear necessary to change this, it would provide savings all the
way around, they could approach us or us them about amending this agreement
later on to accommodate that. But at this point, the only thing I'm aware of that
they're proposing to do and requiring is to include a dedication, and in this
instance, we would require them to include it in their lot split of the northern 29
feet of this property which would anticipate a road going clear across it east to
west.
Corrie: Thank you. All right. Okay. Roll-call vote on Resolution.
Roll-call vote: Mrs. McCandless, aye; Mrs. deWeerd, aye; Mr. Bird, aye; Mr.
Anderson, aye.

2. Development Agreements for Woodbridge Community, LLC:
Gigray: No. The only thing I wanted to know was whether or not you wanted to
entertain approving the new development agreements that were subject to the
Woodbridge applications which we've now completed the process on the
Findings and Conclusions. They have submitted a Development Agreement for
the large parcel which is where the development is going to occur, I think is the
Snorting Bull Development Agreement, and the other Agreement is the
Woodbridge Community, LLC, Agreement which is the small parcel and that
Agreement, basically, the Development Agreement just requires a conditional

Both those Development Agreements?
Bird: This is what we (inaudible) going to do at the end.
Berg: Both signed?
Gigray: Yes.
Berg: Yes.
Bird: Okay~ Now that was for Woodbridge and which other one, Bill?
Gigray: They're both Woodbridge. Remember, Woodbridge had two parcels.
One small one that I think was necessary in order to make the large one
contiguous to the City_
Bird: Do we need to make two motions or one?
Gigray: You could just make a motion to approve two separate resolutions to
authorize the Mayor and the Clerk to sign, the Mayor to sign and the Clerk to
attest.
Bird: On the Development Agreements~
Gigray: On these Development Agreements, and you could do that in one
motion then the records VIOuld show you passed them both at one time.

E. City Engineer - Gary Smith:
1. Mike Luke request to connect to city sewer:
Smith: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: On January the 10th, I talked to a Mr. Mike Luke who lives in the County
at 1867 Country Terrace Way. That's a subdivision between Meridian Greens on
its east side, Running Brook Estates on its south and west side for most of
Country Terrace. Mr. Luke is having septic tank problems. All of those lots in
Country Terrace Subdivision \^/ere developed on septic tanks for their sewage
treatment. They have a community well to serve them with domestic water. At
the time the subdivision was developed in 1977, the developer installed a dry
seYler line in the street. The sewer line grades to the south. When Running
Brook Estates was developed, I required the developer to extend the sewer line
up the hill and connect to the sewer line that was in the - is in the Country
Terrace Subdivision. Mr. Luke's septic tank, I should say drain field is failing.
The Central District Health wants him to connect to the sewer line that is in the
street in front of his house. I have ascertained through the Wastewater
Department that we have inspected the sewer line with a television camera as
part of our maintenance of our system. I'm not quite sure why they got involved
in that county sub, but, nevertheless, they did go up through the line. Service
lines were installed out of the main line to each of the lots in the subdivision at
the time it was built, and when I connect - when I had the Running Brook
developer connect to this line, I instructed them to put a plug in the line at the
downstream line of the Country Terrace Subdivision so we didn't receive
anything from them inadvertently. Mr. Luke has made a request to you for
approval to connect to the City. There are a couple problems with this. Number
one, we don't own the sev.rer line in the street. It's a county subdivision. I believe
the sewer line belongs to the homeowners. I don't know who else it would
belong to. Not us. He does have a problem right now with his septic tank and
drain field. It's overflowing, as he said, into the gutter out of the drain field, so
we've got a health problem there. The Mr. Rooter or Master Rooter, Rota
Rooter, I don't know who it is, mentioned to this Mr. Luke that there were four or
five other people in the subdivision that were having similar problems. I don't
know the extent of that. Anyway, Mr. Luke is asking for permission to connect to
the city sevver.
Bird: Gary, what do we do about if it's not our sewer line? It hooks into our main
line.
Meridian City Council
January 18, 2CXX)
Page 87
Smith: It's connected. I had it connected at the time because that's the only
place it could flow.
Bird: We could still charge hook-up fee, couldn't we?
Smith: Oh, yes~
deWeerd: Why aren't we asking them to annex? Their contiguous -
Smith: They're contiguous. That's the other part of my question was that, and I
talked to him about that, Mr~ Luke about that, and he said that these folks have
always been against annexing to the City of Meridian. They didn't want anything
to do with us. Well, now we've got something that they need, and I asked him
the question when I had him on the telephone what the attitude within the
subdivision was toward annexing, and he said, well, it might be 50-SO. So it's
gone up significantly from where it was because it was nothing~ Again, it's a
sewer issue, and I think Mr. Luke's got a serious problem here, but - he's asking
for some help on this. On the other hand, I think 'N8 need to maintain that carrot,
so to speak, that we have with the sewer and the rest of the subdivision, and I
think we need to let them know that this is a - we have an agreement to provide
sewage or sewer, accept sewer outside our city limits that we have used in the
past for these other people that have requested the service, and this should not
be any different than what we've done in the past. That agreement says that, I
paraphrase it, but it's something to the effect if you're annexable you will annex.
Anderson: Mr. Mayor~
Corrie: Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: I guess the logical question is what's the next step. Do we tell this
homeowner to go drum up support from his neighbors or is that staffs doing or
do we take them one at a time? It would be much more feasible to just annex the
whole subdivision and have them dedicate that line to us.
Smith: We're going to have to - YJeIl, to ansvver your question, Councilman, in
the order that you presented it, this fellow's about three lots from the end of the
road, the cul-de-sac where they connect to our sewer system. So, in order to get
him into the City, the first three lots - well, I guess this in effect, his lot does back
up to Running Brook, too, so he could annex - we could annex him just on that
basis. The one lot. But we do have to have the homeowners turn that sewer line
over to us, I think, unless they want to maintain it. I guess they could do that,
too. It's their sewer line as I see it
Bird: But we VJOuld still get the hook-up fees.
Smith: Yes.
Meridian City Council
January 18, 2CX)Q
Page 88
Smith: Wellt we'd go up to the next manhole and block it off there, but that would
still allow half a dozen lots access to the sewer without us knowing it.
Corrie: Would you and your staff go explain that to the homeowners or \tVOuld
you rely on Mr. Luke to try to spread the vvord in his neighborhood about
annexation?
Smith: We could certainly - I'm somewhat familiar with those people out there
because of the community well that they have and the problems that they've had
getting accesst maintaining access to that well through Running Brook. Itve
talked to several of those folks before. We could certainly do that; explain the
process to them and the situation.
Bird: Only problem is he's got one heck of a problem right now.
Smith: He does. He's got a big problem right now. He's pumping his septic tank
almost every week.
Bird: And it's not always doing the job.
Anderson: So he may help you knock on doors.
Smith: Yes.
Anderson: I guess that'd be my thought is to get us some type of feedback on
what the subdivision wants to do.
Corrie: Time is an essence to him so you (inaudible) two or three. That's
Council's choice.
deWeerd: Can you do the same thing that we did earlier is allow him to hook up
as long as they don't impede the process of annexation?
Corrie: Well, (inaudible) lines -
Anderson: We've got that line problem~ We don't own the lines.
deWeerd: I mean for the whole subdivision to do it.
Smith: We don't O'Nll the line. He could hook it up; all we have to do -
(inaudible) go-ahead to go into our main trunk and take off. They're going to
have to maintain it there, right, Gary? What about water if we annex it? Is their
well - they've got a well, but do we take it over?
Smith: No.
Meridian City Council
January 18, 2CXX)
Page 89
Bird: We leave it out there and they run it themselves, too?
Smith: Well-
Bird: Is that City policy?
Smith: No.
Bird: That's what I was going to say. It isn't City policy-
Smith: If we annexed, the water lines that they have within the subdivision would
need to be connected to our system~ I don't know - the well that they have, I
don't know anything about it. It's not a deep well, they've had some problems
with it but not enough to have them knock on our door asking for water.
Anderson: But that's not really a big issue. They have existing lines run already
so we'd just cap their well and tie into our City water.
Smith: Yes. Again, we'd be assuming their system for operation and
maintenance if the whole subdivision was annexed.
Corrie: Probably in the long run, it's bettef for them. Costs a little money
(inaudible) annex it.
Smith: Yes. I guess right now, Mr. Luke's got a bigger problem. He's not very
far from where we can connect it to their line. I guess I'd like to see some way
for him to connect and utilize the sewer, get out of his septic tank and drain field
problem; on the other hand, we need to maintain a little bit of a lever over the
subdivision itself. If we're going to serve one person, let's-
Corrie: May be 20 years (inaudible) -
Smith: Yeah. It's a difficult situation~
Anderson: So is two weeks enough time? That's not going to make or break
him, but would that give you enough time to get some feedback fOf us so that we
know what way the rest of the homeowners are going?
Smith: You bet. I'll contact him and I'll contact the president. I know another
fellow that lives out there, too, that I can contact so I can get some kind of a
feedback from them as to how they feel about annexation. The other thing that -
I'll go ahead and do that. The other thing I just wanted to plant a seed tonight is
development of property outside in the county. These sewer lines that we're
building on the no-name trunk, which, by the way, I found out is located on the
White Drain.

: So it can be the (inaudible)?
Smith: So - it can be the White - pardon me? I didn't catch the end of that one.
: The White Brown Line.
Smith: The White Brown Line. But, anyway, I think we need to think about how
the development should take place up there in those areas because if we don't
maintain city property or city boundaries out there, then we're going to lose all the
building permits to Ada County like we're doing in Vienna Woods for example,
and the park impact fees. Because today I had a visit from Ramon Y orgenson
(sic) and he's talking about wanting to extend the line on up Ten Mile Road to the
north slew and to the east because he's looking at 120 acres up there that he
wants to develop, build and develop. Now all of a sudden we're almost out to
Chinden.
Bird: We are out to Chinden if we go with Brighton.
Smith: And Brighton and I canJt remember the farmer's name. Janicek.
Bird: Janicek.
deWeerd: I sure hope we're seeing green space In there. Let's get that
Landscape Ordinance on the (inaudible).
McCandless: That's not going to help us if it's developed in the county.
Bird: I'm with Gary, though. Let's make sure we get the building and the park
fees and all this kind of stuff and not let the county have it and we take - and
then we come in and take it. We get the hook-up fees.
Smith: But the only way we can do it is to annex as we go.
Bird: I think that-
Smith: It has to be contiguous.
Bird: -- (inaudible) but we've got to be ready to get our services (inaudible).
Smith: Well, services will be there. They'll be there before the city limits are.
deWeerd: Well, with all of this coming up, what needs to be done to make sure
that we get those impact fees?
Stiles: The Parks Director needs to amend that Impact Fee Ordinance to meet
current code requirements. Has to have a capital improvement program in place
(
(
Meridian City Council
January 18, 2000
Page 91
for the parks and has to go to the Ada County Commissioners to get that
approved so they will impose those impact fees in the county. Boise City is now
requesting - Boise City already has the agreement with them. They just have
requested the 10 percent increase in the park impact fees.
deWeerd: Mayor Corrie.
Corrie: Mrs. deWeerd.
deWeerd: Who is supposed to tell Tom to be doing this because I know Shari
and I have been talking to him about this until we're blue in the face. How do we
get our Parks Director to do this?
Anderson: Well, that's your new job.
deWeerd: (inaudible)
Corrie: Sit down and have a chat.
deWeerd: Okay. We have to, especially if thereJs a number of developments
that want in, we do not want to lose the impact fees on those.
Corrie: We need to have an impact fee committee hearing (inaudible) thought
about that (inaudible)
Bird: (inaudible) if you and the Clerk will get together and make a list of all the
Committees we've got within the City and who's on it, I'd appreciate that.

From: Gary D. Smith, PE

Date: 01/13/00
Re: Mike Luke Request to Connect to City Se'Ner
Mayor: Mr. Luke lives in the Country Terrace Subdivision, which is not within current city
limits. When this subdivision was constructed in 1977-78, the developer installed a dry
sanitary sewer line that slopes from the Overland Road entrance to this subdivision, to it's
south boundary. When Running Brook Estates Subdivision was developed, I required the
developer to extend a sanitary sewer line from his development and connect it to the dry
sewer line in the Country Terrace Subdivision. I made this request, to which the developer
complied, because this was the only way the Country Terrace Subdivision could be served in
the future. It appears that the future is now.
I have talked with Mr. Luke about the presence of this dry line and that to the best of my
knowledge, the line presently belongs to his subdivision's Homeowners Association. I have
also talked to our Public Works Superintendent about this sewer fine and he believes that we
have done a camera survey of it and he is researching his files to make sure. I have also
talked to the Central District Health Department and they, of course, want to see Mr. Luke
connect to the sanitary sewer and abandon his septic system. I agree that this is the
alternative that should be followed.
How the approval is made to allow Mr. Luke's connection is a matter of discussion. The
altematives, as I see them are:
1. Allow Mr. Luke to connect, with the sewer lines in his subdivision remaining in the
ownership of the Homeovvner's Association.
2. Allow Mr. Luke to connect, with the sewer lines being
donated to the City of Meridian for ownership and
maintenance, once it is detennined that they are in good
condition.

3. Allow Mr. Luke to connect with a request to the owners of homes in this subdivision to
request annexation into the City of Meridian. As Mr. Luke points out in his letter, there
are other homes in this subdivision that are, or have been, having problems with their
septic systems. Mr. Luke indicated to me on the telephone that perhaps 50% of the
residents would be in favor of annexation.
At any rate, I think it is appropriate to allow Mr. Luke to connect to the existing dry line sewer
system in his subdivision.
There is a bit of urgency in Mr. Luke's request so I would assume that if at all possible, this
should be brought before the City Council at their January 18 meeting.

Gary

RE: Connecting to City Sewer
My septic tank was- pumped- out-Dee: 22nd-1-999- and- nowwe- have- noticed sitttng- water throughout the
yard and overflow entering the gutter, including the odor. Master Rooter has said that our drain lines
have-crystalized and would need- to- be- replaced. They al-so- stated that the other home- owners- in our
subdivision are also having problems. One for example, has to pump every four months.
Nowithas been Drought to my- attentioR-tRat there is a-city- sewer line in front of my home, and-I- WQuld
like to connect in to it. Apparently with in 300ft. of my property there is a connection stub, which was
installed there-when-a- new subdivision went- in- next to us.
I have talked to Mike Reno and Ivan Butterfield of Ada County and they both said I should be talking to
Meridian Public VVorks. So, talking-with Gar)'- Smith he said-I- need- to-send a letter too_you, and- that he
would follow up with more information.
I would appreciate your attention- to- this matter and to whatever can be done.
Thank you for your time.

Interoffice Memo
Date: January 11, 2000
To: MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL
Cc: file I City Attorney
From: GARY D. SMITH, PE
RE: LATECOMER FEES
Mayor & Council: A provision exists in the Se\Aler and Water Use portions of the
existing City of Meridian Ordinance to allow the return of a portion of funds, expended
by a developer/entity vvho extends water and or sewer lines to hislher development,
vvhen property adjacent to this extension develops and wishes to connect to the
extension. This return of expenditure has come to be known as a "Late-comer" fee.
Presently, late-comer fees are collected by the City on a lot by lot basis at the time a
building permit is issued for a lot in a development that is connecting to a se\Ver or
water line installed by others. This method of collecting the late-comer fee results in
a slow retum of funds to the developer/entity that extended the se'Ner or water line
and it creates a lot of paper 'Mlrk for city staff.
Recently, I have had discussions with our accounting staff and with several
developers concerning the return of these latecomer fees and, as a result of those
discussions, I vvould appreciate your consideration of a change in our present policy
for collection of these latecomer fees.
Proposal: When a developer, connecting to a sewer or water line installed by
others, submits a final plat vvith development plans, the developer pays a late-comer
fee for the entire project being developed, with hislher plat application fee or pays the
fee at the time the development plans are approved. This Vlill return a larger amount
of funds, at one time, to the developer/entity VJho extended the line(s) and it \^Jill
reduce the reimbursement paper vvork by city staff. For example; A development
containing 40 platted lots, connects to an existing sewer line installed by others (upon
vvhich a late-comers agreement exists, VJhich agreement requires payment of a late-
comer fee of $100 per lot) pays a late-comer fee of 40 X $100 = $4,000 along with
the plat application fee or pays this fee at the time development plans are approved.
I VIrOuld appreciate your review of this proposal and receiving any comments you may
have.
