Re: Steiner DevelopmenVCity of Meridian Land Exchange Agreement
Dear Mayor Corrie and Council Members:
Following the Council's meeting of December 5, 2000. Doug Campbell of
Steiner Development had discussions of Wally Lovan of Cherry Lane Recreation,
Inc. in an attempt to reach an accommodation with respect to the piping of the
eight mile lateral in the vicinity of the exchange parcels. From what I understand,
Mr. Campbell and Mr. Lovan did reach an understanding in that respect.
Unfortunately, that agreement had not yet been reduced to writing prior to Mr.
lovan's unfortunate and untimely death. Under the circumstances, Mr. Campbell
has been reluctant to burden Mr. Lovan's family with this matter and would,
therefore, appreciate it if the Council would defer further action on the Exchange
Agreement until its next regularly scheduled Council meeting. At that time, Mr.
Campbell hopes that he will be in a position to present the Council with an
agreement acceptable to Cherry Lane Recreation, Inc. In the event you have
any concerns with respect to this matter, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
SAB:1I

RE: Conditions of Approval for The Lakes at Cherry Lane No. 8 and No.9, and the Final Plat

Dear Mayor and City Council
The Lakes at Cherry Lane NO.8 and NO.9 were both approved with the condition to provide a
perimeter fence around both of the subdivisions. The conditions in question for both subdivisions
state:
. Permanent perimeter fencing is to be installed prior to applying for building permits (stated in
Site Specific Requirement No. 2 The Lakes at Cherry Lane No.8, and Site Specific
Requirement No. 3 The Lakes at Cherry Lane No.9).
These two subdivisions have frontages on The Cherry Lane Golf Course. The applicant is
requesting the requirement for perimeter fencing be deleted where the sites front the golf course.
This is consistent with previous City approval (i.e., Ashford Greens and other phases of The
Lakes at Cherry Lane).
The applicant has submitted the final plat application for Wilkins Village for City review and
approval. The applicant is also in the process of submitting a conditional use application for a
temporary sales facility that will be located on Wilkins Village or the Lakes at Cherry Lane No.
9. The modular building is currently located on Wilkins Village. Planning and Zoning staff stated
that the final plat application for Wilkins Village would not be processed until a conditional use
application for the temporary sales facility is approved by the City Council. The process from
submittal to approval for a conditional use application takes between 4 to 6 months. We are
requesting that the final plat application is processed concurrently with the conditional use
application so that the final plat will not be delayed for many months unnecessarily.
Please place this item for discussion on your next available City Council meeting.

RE: Conditions of Approval for The Lakes at Cherry Lane No. 8 and No.9, and the Final Plat
application for Wilkins ViJJage
Dear Mayor and City Council
The Lakes at Cherry Lane No.8 and No.9 were both approved with the condition to provide a
perimeter fence around both of the subdivisions. The conditions in question for both subdivisions
state:
· Pennanent perimeter fencing is to be installed prior to applying for building permits (stated in
Site Specific Requirement No. 2 The Lakes at Cherry lane No.8, and Site Specific
Requirement No.3 The Lakes at Cherry Lane No.9).
These two subdivisions have frontages on The Cherry Lane Golf Course. The applicant is
requesting the requirement for perimeter fencing be deleted where the sites front the golf course.
This is consistent with previous City approval (Le.. Ashford Greens and other phases of The
lakes at Cherry Lane).
The applicant has submitted the final plat application for Wilkins Village for City review and
approval. The applicant is also in the process of submitting a conditional use application for a
temporary sales facility that will be located on Wilkins Village or the Lakes at Cherry Lane NO.9.
The modular building is currently located on Wilkins Village. Planning and Zoning staff stated
that the final plat application for Wilkins Village would not be processed until a conditional use
application for the temporary sales facility is approved by the City Council. The process from
submittal to approval for a conditional use application takes between 4 to 6 months. We are
requesting that the final plat application is processed concurrently with the conditional use
application so that the final plat will not be delayed for many months unnecessarily.
Please place this item for discussion on your next available City Council meeting.
S;ncerely.

Section 13, said line also being the centerline of Overland Road; thence
South 89026'27" East 577.68 feet along said South line to the POINT OF
BEGINNING;
EXCEPT that portion situated in the Overland Road right-of-way.
7. The present land use of subject property is presently zoned Light

character and visible from a public way and located on the walls of
buildings, barns, sheds or on trees, poles, posts, fences, or other structure;
B. On-premises business signs that advertise an activity, business, product,
or service and which are no longer conducted or available on the premises
on which the sign is located;
c. Signs placed on any curb, sidewalk, post, pole, hydrant, bridge, or tree
except official public notices as posted by a public officer;
D. Signs which are placed in any public right of way except publicly-owned
signs, traffic-control signals, directional signs, and signs which direct and

FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND -- Page 4 of 10
ORDER OF DECISION GRANTING A VARIANCE / V AR-OO-024

(
ordinance were applied to the subject property: there are none.
15. The unusual or peculiar circumstances which indicate that regulations of
the ordinance should not be strictly complied with, and the special conditions and
circumstances that exist, are that the entire parl<- is not yet developed. However, a few
businesses will be opening in the near future and have requested freeway exposure for
their business. Other developments have acquired similar permits to expose their
businesses to the public by utilizing off-premise freeway signs.
16. A literal interpretation of the provisions of the ordinance would deprive
the Applicant rights because the provisions of the Ordinance if applied, the proposed
location of this .sign is in a section of the industriaVtechnical parl<. that DBSI has just
started to develop, and the parcel of land that this sign will occupy is currently vacant
and undeveloped.
17. The existence of.special circumstances or conditions affecting the
property is that the circumstances of the property are that the freeway side of this
property was divided so that this particular section of land did not have to be
developed until construction was started, and so that the new tenants could utilize
freeway exposure.
18. Granting the variance would maintain rights which would be afforded to
others in the same situation.

19. The Comprehensive Plan for the I-L District is to provide for light
industrial development and opportunities for employment for Meridian citizens and
area residents and reduce the need to commute to neighboring cities; to encourage the
development of manufacturing and wholesale establishments which are clean, quiet and
free of hazardous or objectionable elements, such as noise, odor, dust, smolce or glare
and that are operated entirely or almost entirely withi11 enclosed structures; to
delineate areas best suited for industrial development because of location, topography,
existing faciliti~s and relationship to other land uses.
20. The variance would allow the applicant to maximize the most efficient
use of the land and maximizing the landscaping with the usage.
21. The granting of the requested variance will not be detrimental to the
public's welfare or injurious to other property in the area of the proposed plat, and, in
fact, the development of the plat in accordance with the conditions of approval and the
requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance will prevent the conditions which are the
source of the complaints raised in the public hearing of this matter.
22. The granting of this variance will not have an effect of altering the interest
and purpose of the Subdivision or Development Ordinance and/or the City's
Comprehensive Plan for the reasons stated above.
23. The applicant paid the fee established by the City Council for application

Memo
To: Mayor Corrie
From: Brad Watson, P .E.
CC: File, Gary Smith, PE, Shelby Ugarizza
Date: 12106/00
Re: Waterline Easement from Ed Sews (fen Mile Road, from McMillan Road south to %
comer)
I am forwarding the following document, a signed water line easement from Ed Sews, for City
Council acceptance and approval on its consent agenda at its December 19,2000 meeting.
The easement is necessary because the water line will not be in the existing Ten Mile Road
right-of-way but will be in the future right-of-way to be dedicated when development occurs
along the east side of Ten Mile Road. The existing pressure sewer from the WVVfP to the
Boise River is located in the standard water corridor causing this non-standard water line
location.
Please contact me if you have any questions~
Thank you.

Item 8.
AZ-OO-018 Request for Annexation and Zoning of 34.84 acres to
R-8 for a church and vacant land by Valley Shepherd Church of
the Nazarene - Meridian Road south of Overland Road
Corrie: Item No. 8 public hearing request for annexation and zoning of 34.84
acres to R-8 for a church and vacant land by Valley Shepherd Church of the
Nazarene on Meridian Road south of Overland Road. At this time I will open the
public hearing on annexation and zoning 00-018 and invite staff co~ments first.
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, this is for the property on Meridian Road that is
south of Elk Run Subdivision. There is a property that is still in the county that
separates this from Elk Run, and the Bear Creek Subdivision would border it to
the west. They are request annexation and zoning only at this time. They have
presented a concept plan of their future build out plans. There is an issue of the
sewer and where it presently is in Elk Run Subdivision. The needed alignment
would be for the sewer to be extended down Meridian Road which would
intersect with a fiber optic cable that apparently is not being constructed in the
easement, that was set up for the fiber optic cable. That is going to be one
hurdle that needs to be addressed in order to sewer a portion of this property.
The entire property is not sewerable through the Meridian Road Trunk sewer line.
Approximately the back half - I am not sure exactly where that line it maybe Gary
can help clarify where that might be will have to go into the ultimate Black Cat
Trunk sewer line that is yet to be constructed. At first they had expressed a
desire to be able to sewer back into the Bear Creek lift station and into that
existing line. Staff informed them that that was not the desire of the Council, at
least in previous action and I believe that they have decided that that is not what
they are going to be proposing at this time. This is a picture of the property, as is
it is vacant. This is a proposed concept for the build out of the site. This is
Meridian Road when this direction would be North and they are proposing their
facility with a gymnasium and a chapel. They are proposing a daycare, a senior
center. Again this is only conceptual they are showing the baseball fields in the
back and possibly in the future when access to that trunk line is available they
would propose some retirement housing. Staff would recommend approval with
the conditions that they enter into a development agreement that the
development agreement is somehow tied to that provision of sewer through the
Black Cat Trunk line. Also that single-family residential development not be
permitted that it somehow be tied to this site plan to a point. I know they will
probably have some modification a church is allowed through a conditional use in
the R-8 zone they will need to bring the sewer line down through Meridian Road.
Thank you.
Corrie: Thank you Shari. Is the applicant here this evening?
Meridian City Council Meeting (
December 19, 2000
Page 9
Field: Hello, my name is Scott Field, I am with Roylance and Associates, I am
representing the applicant. My address is 391 West State Street, Suite E, Eagle,
Idaho. Just to elaborate a little bit on the comments that Staff has made, when
we initially approached the Planning and Zoning Commission with this
application, there was some concern raised on part of a few of the surrounding
neighbors as to the possibility by annexing this and rezoning it to R-8 with an
idea of a church that ultimately it may become just another subdivision. They
were concerned about having that density adjacent to them when they are on
larger acreage tracks. The Commission felt the same, and I feel their concerns
were extremely justified, so what we did was we came back and submitted the
conceptual plan that is shown here. I would like to emphasize, right now that the
only thing that is immediately planned is the church itself, or about two-thirds of
the church that is shown there right now out on Meridian Road. The remainder of
this could have a build out of up to ten years and obviously it is dependant upon
the sewer system serving the backside of it before any of that could possibly
happen. What we discussed with Planning and the other council is entering into
a Development Agreement that would essentially restrict or bind the church to
the uses shown on this conceptual plan here. The reason that they are
requesting the R-8 over some other type of zoning it is the least dense zoning
that permits a church. R-4 is something that was suggested, but a church is not
even allowed under a Conditional Use Permit on that and a light office obviously
makes no sense on this property. Hopefully you have had an opportunity to read
a letter that was submitted to the P&Z Council and Staff. I think it does a good
job of fully explaining the situation and I just briefly tried to summarize that
tonight. The church is eager to expand down to this site. Their location across
the street is extremely cramped and this is going to allow them to create a church
and surrounding amenities that are going to be of a great benefit to not just the
congregation but the city as a whole. I would be happy to answer any questions
that you have this evening and encourage you to following the recommendations
of the Staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Corrie: Thank you. Council any questions at this point?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Anyone else from the public that would like to issue testimony on this
annexation and zoning?
Jewett: My name is Jim Jewett, I reside at 4002 West Teeter in Meridian. I have
absolutely no objection to a church going up on the site. I think it is very well
suited for it there. My questions lie with what is going to be left over when the
church goes in under the concept plan now it is going to leave a little strip a
keyhole above them between Bear Creek and the proposed site which I am
purchasing. There is a supposed stub street coming out of Bear Creek, if you
could Shari, right there. One of my questions is was it the intent to have that as a
through street all the way to Meridian Road by the City Council when they
Meridian City Council Meeting (
December 19,2000
Page 10
approved Bear Creek and if so how is that going to affect the church site as far
as access. In ACHD Staff comments on their recommendation on this plat, they
state they there should not be any additional driveway or access within 600 feet
of their access. If you go back to their site plan / conceptual drawing they have
an access right up in the northwest corner that appears to be in a few 100 feet of
where that stub street would come out. That appears to be a conflict of ACHD's
recommendation and if that stub street is in fact planned to go all the way
through to Meridian Road would it not be better served if the church also access
off the stub street as well and it would be made a residential collector or - what is
the intent when that was proposed for Bear Creek to go all the way out? It
proposes a problem for this little piece that is going to be left over that's barely
wide enough to put one row of houses in more less than two. It is a 190 feet
wide what is left there. I would pose the question is that street proposed to go all
the way through and if so should the church not take access off that street
instead of Meridian - Kuna Road or Highway 69?
Stiles: I think that is a good question. It may be better dealt with when they
come in for a Conditional Use Permit for the site and they actually have
conditions attached to a specific plan. All they are asking for right now is the
annexation itself. They will need to come back in an do a Conditional Use Permit
where you can get site specific comments for the plan that will deal with parking
and landscaping and all of those issues. The concept plan that they submitted is
,not in concrete; they just submitted that to give some additional information to the
Planning and Zoning Commission and to the Council to make them a little more
comfortable with what their plans where. I guess that is my opinion that it should
really be dealt with when they come through with a specific plan. You do have a
good point and I can see both sides. If you are left with a piece that is marginal at
best to try and develop that cost effectively and the existing stub street that is
proposed to come out of Bear Creek. I can also see the church's side where
they would probably desire to have a self contained facility without the impact of
a lot of high traffic volume coming out.
Jewett: I appreciate those comments. I just want to make sure that when we do
a Development Agreement to get the zoning that it will be done (inaudible)
church under this conceptual plan that we not tie us up to a point where their
access is going to be on the northeast corner which would prohibit that site for
next store from ever putting a road in because you cannot have a road within 600
feet of it. So I want to make sure that we do not lock the hands of a neighbor
because we approve a conceptual drawing on a Development Agreement that
say we got this approved and I think we need to take in consideration all the
neighbors and what is best served. When the church originally went in 1997 and
received a CU within the county the ACHD at that time suggested a residential
collector around the south boundary, down along this site. The ACHD has since
decided that is not necessary under the Bear Creek plan because there is not
stub street over, obviously not under the Bear Creek plan it is up in the north
corner. It would certainly be unfair if determines that has to be a residential
Meridian City Council Meeting (
December 19, 2000
Page 11
collector to make that little strip of land, that five acres pay for the whole
construction of a residential collector they cannot take front on access on it. That
just would not be justifiably fair. I ask this Council please take in consideration
the neighboring properties and maybe they can draft this development
agreement not to tie it in so much to this conceptual plan but to a conceptual plan
that will work for all neighboring properties and the future development of both
sides. Bear Creek has been set because it is a Preliminary Plat that has been
approved the property to the south obviously is a large piece yet but the property
to the north is just that little sliver. I think you guys probably remember the
(inaudible) plat that come in here this summer that was that little key hole leftover
on Locust Grove and he had to go in with those little townhouses to make that
work because all that was leftover and there was no other access, it was one
way in and one way out we fought to get some pedestrian access there and did
not end up getting it and I hate to see something of the same nature get left
again with the City saying "what do we do" when we do not look at it ahead of
time and say "let's plan it out."
Corrie: Any questions Council?
Bird: I have none.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: The property north of yours what is that?
Jewett: That is all Bear Creek. That little triangle is all part of Bear Creek.
De Weerd: It is clear to Bear Creek.
(inaudible discussion amongst members)
De Weerd: Have you talked to ACHD and asked them what their road plan was
in that area?
Jewett: It is sketchy at best. They look at each application as it comes in and
the church rightfully so as a stand alone entity can have two access off of
Meridian Road and does not need anything additional. Nothing else has been
applied for Bear Creek has its approvals and it has the one stub street to the
north and so that is all they look at. They do not look past what is in front of
them. They do not look at the neighbors and how are we going to develop this,
they simply say well there is a stub street there you will figure it out later and I
think it is just poor planning. But that is how they do things they look at them as
they come in and yes, the church can stand on its own and have two accesses
but it really hurts that piece. Again, they stated that we are just looking at
Meridian City Council Meeting (
December 19,2000
Page 12
(
annexation we do not really comment on that when we see an actual application
for a CU then we will comment more seriously on it, but I am afraid if we make a
Development Agreement based on a conceptual drawing that we may have
locked ourselves into a point where some people are going to get damaged. I do
not know if I could be where that would not happen that there could be some -
personally, and I have talked to the church about it, I think that the northern half
of their piece should be left residential and they should put that street through
and they can do houses on that side as well that way it is double fronted and not
make it a residential collector then you can have front on access but if it is
classified as a residential collector you cannot have front on access and you take
that 190 feet strip and you take 50 feet out of it and you try to put a cul-de-sac
and lots on it, it does not work. You have essentially eliminated that piece from
being able to be developed in any reasonable manner. Again, I have no
objections I think it is a good use for the area, I just think we need to look at all
the parcels around it. The other issue is the issue of sewer out there. I think
when I was at Planning and Zoning the recommendation or the statement in the
Development Agreement would be only half the site would be sewered. I have
had surveys go out there and had them survey the sewer coming out of Elk Run.
I have shot it and I have done the (inaudible) I pretty much know of that 30 acres
I doubt you can sewer 1 0 acres of it from that existing sewer it is just not deep
enough. They cannot get past the Harden Drain there, I do not even think they
can get to the Harden Drain. If you have a Development Agreement that they
can sewer half of it, but they can only physically sewer one-forth of it I do not
know if that is a contradiction to what the actual intent is. My understanding
talking to Public Works is the intent is everything that can gravity sewer into that
sewer should be allowed into it but not to allow pump stations into it.
Corrie: Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: Mr. Jewett looking at this map and the way Bear Creek streets are
laid out and the stub street it comes right in on the point of the church property as
you say you bought the property, or you are looking at buying it?
Jewett: Looking at buying it.
Anderson: Have you meet with the owners of the church property and discussed
some kind of arrangement on providing access -
Jewett: Yes.
Anderson: Has that been fruitful?
Jewett: I am assuming not because they have not contacted me further. They
said if they had any additional interest they would contact me. They came up
with this conceptual drawing which would lock it in - I am assuming it locks it into
the use that they are proposing on this conceptual drawing. I originally proposed
Meridian City Council Meeting (
December 19,2000
Page 13
putting that street through then them taking access where it comes out in
Meridian Road putting in three lanes one in, one out, and a left hand turn lane, so
that it would provide better access to the church instead of having one entrance
to the church and 100 feet to 150 feet down to the entrance where that cove was.
I have not heard from them since the P&Z hearing. Yes, I had several
conversations in the fall with the church on what to do there. Basically, it was do
not squeeze me into a situation where it makes that property undevelopable. One
of the proposals I had with them was to do just a little bit of residential on their
north side to front on this street and either sell it to me and I will develop it or they
can develop it and pay for half the road and they can take and sell off lots. I just
think that something needs to be looked at there instead of just limiting that tiny
sliver of ground to either building a complete road that will be a residential
collector or being "undevelopable."
Anderson: So you asked them to share half the cost of putting the street in?
Jewett: Yes, and at the entrance providing a little ground for the wider road
because we were putting in the turn lane because I thought the turn lane would
be a benefit. Not only to them on Sundays and gathering days, but for the
Subdivision as well. My assumption is that you put that street through to
Meridian Road, that when Bear Creek gets built out you are going to have a lot of ;
traffic. I think that those people living in Bear Creek are going to find that the
most convenient way out. I think you are going to see a lot of traffic on it. My
understanding it they are going to signal the entrance at Elk Run, but this
entrance if it got put in would be closer to the half mile mark, in fact it would be
within 150 feet of the half mile mark, which is more suited for another signal other
than a quarter mile from Overland Road so you could possibly see a change from
the Highway District to signally this if it went in through as a residential collector
because I do believe it would take more traffic out of Bear Creek when it gets
fully developed. The other problem with it is because it is going to exceed the
block limit for your ordinance, which is 1 ,000 feet, and it is currently about 1 ,500
feet in length with actually no traffic calming whatsoever. So it would be a
(inaudible) in there. If I was doing it and if I was doing the whole site and the
church and the other site, I would try to do some traffic calming I would try to do
something to slow traffic down in there. I think that needs to be thought of
because I am sure the people of Elk Run would appreciate that put in there too
take it out of their subdivision.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Mr. Jewett you stated to Mr. Anderson that you would want the church to
go half on that road by putting it through. The only thing that road benefits is that
property there that is not developed. It does not benefit the church property at
all.
Meridian City Council Meeting (
December 19,2000
Page 14
Jewett: Could you hold up the conceptual plan Shari? If the church redesigned
their access and did away with that access up at the corner and took it off of that
proposed street that would go through there yes it would serve them, because by
allowing that access there you prohibit a road being a put in there.
Bird: I agree that, but the church has their site set out like this and actually that
road going through the only one that will benefit is that one little - you say five
acres?
Jewett: 5.4 acres yes. If the church went in just like that it would prohibit that 5.4
acres from running that street out to Meridian Road.
Bird: That is true you would have to come back off the stub and back out.
Jewett: You would end up with a cul-de-sac because you could not come out
because there is not any other stub streets. I guess one of the questions I have
is was the intention whe.n the City Council approved Bear Creek with that stub
street in mind was it intended to go all the way through to Meridian Road?
Bird: Not to my knowledge.
Jewett: Then that could probably be developed without it going out but it would
need another entrance other than a cul-de-sac and the sewer for that property is
for Meridian Road so something has to come from Meridian Road. ACHD
proposed at one point trying to connect that stub street into the cul-de-sac on the
other side of Bear Creek which would require me going to Greg and asking Greg
to extend that street over as a stub street instead of a cul-de-sac in the way that
it is currently proposed. Not saying that he would be objectionable to that but it
still would require - what would happen is if that went into ACHD exactly like that,
the length of street that would front on the church property would never get built.
You'd have half a street built. ACHD cannot require a property owner to build
both sides of the street if you only take frontage on one side. So the church side
where the softball and the soccer field would be would never be built. It would be
half a street.
Bird: But the church side doesn't need any street on their north boundaries.
Jewett: No, not as planned, they don't. Basically I'm here just to layout the
information so when something comes through on another piece of property,
nobody says how's this happened. I want it to be fully known that there is a little
sliver left there, and we're not really looking at it when we approve this church
site. If it went in exactly as proposed, we would not be taking into consideration
that side at all. I think at the minimum that that entrance coming in at the
northeast corner should at the minimum be a shared entrance with that property
to the north. If there's a 600-foot requirement between driveways, that property
Meridian City Council Meeting (
December 19, 2000
Page 15
cannot have any access on Meridian Kuna Highway. Now, I think in this case
they would grant a variance because you couldn't just limit it, but from a safety
point of view, should it be? Or should that be a joint entrance? Joint entrance
solves the problem.
Bird: I could see where looking at that that you could run that road through and
have your entrance and eliminate their north entrance, but really and truthfully,
they don't need that road after they get down past that berm there, they could
come in right there into their parking lot and stuff. Back up, Shari, come to the
east. There, right in there. So why should they have to help finance that road all
the way up there when they only need to come in right in there? If they would
agree to eliminate that one, you can run your road through if you're the owner the
property. Maybe they could help pay for an entrance like they've got there in the
north park down to that point there because that's all the farther they will
probably want to go with that entrance.
Jewett: I will agree with you if that's what the City Council decides when that
other piece of property comes in that that's adequate, then that's fine. I just want
it to be known up front that, one, you're saying now that the road coming out of
Bear Creek doesn't necessarily need to go anywhere, that it could simply go in
there and stop, number one; and number two, at the north of the - east part of
this property should be jointly shared and you could have two ways. The east
half of that five acres could service off that joint entrance; the westerly half could
service coming out of Bear Creek.
Bird: I didn't say that.
Jewett: I said that's a possibility.
Bird: I said if you want to run that road to Meridian Road from the stub street, the
church would only participate in helping you do that if they will agree to close
their north entrance off that conceptual. They should only have to help
participate down to right about there. That's all the farther they have to go down
to get to their entrance.
Jewett: But what the option would be at that point would be to take the road,
swerve it into that 5.4 acres and take it away from the church site and do
something between the church site and that road. Then that would solve the
problem of the joint entrance, and then the rest of it could be used solely to
whatever happens to the 5.4 acres.
Bird: Okay, that 5.4 acres, you're saying not go through with that. The church -
what the church is saying, they're happy to have their entrances just like that.
Jewett: What I'm saying is by doing that, you limit the use of the 5.4 acres
access to Meridian Kuna Road because of the requirement to have 600 feet -
Meridian City Council Meeting f
December 19, 2000
Page 16
Bird: You won't have an access to Meridian Kuna Road if you do it that way.
You'll have to come back out through the stub street.
Jewett: That's the other option, but that's a little bit unjust to that 5.4 acres
because they have 192 (inaudible) on Meridian Road, but it's (inaudible) they
can't use it. So the question is - I guess the main question I have is approval of
the annexation and zoning of the property tonight, if that's what the Council
decides, does that lock in this - by Development Agreement lock in this
conceptual plan to that or is it going to be worded as such as when they come in
for the Conditional Use Permit that it'll be brought up again, these issues, to best
serve the neighbors? I guess that's really my question is that - are we approving
this conceptual plan and that's it?
Corrie: That's a conceptual. That's not a plan. You can't lock in a conceptual.
Bird: That's what I understood from Shari.
Jewett: I'm sorry. I wasn't able to hear Shari's -
Corrie: All we're doing at the present time is annexing and zoning the property.
We're going to have a Development Agreement and work out whether they want
to have an inside so they don't have R-8 houses all through there. That's what
their Development Agreement will consist of. How you handle - if you buy that
5.25 acres in there, that's something that will come down later after they decide
how they want to do their plat. That will be the time when you bring it up again.
This is technically not having anything to do with it right now other than you
getting it to our attention. We know it's coming -
Jewett: And that's really what my intent was today: bring it to your attention and
make sure we're not approving that specific entrance and that specific entrance.
Make sure that there is still flexibility and hopefully there will be some
cooperation between the property owners so that it works for everybody. I think
that's what needs to happen.
Corrie: But you do understand that there is a possibility that there will not be an
entrance on Kuna Road.
Jewett: Well that's always a possibility.
Corrie: That's a pretty - that's a five-lane road. It's going to have to be signaled
if you come out of there. ACHD might be looking - well, that wouldn't be ACHD,
that would be Idaho Department of Transportation.
Jewett: Well, I think it would be a cooperation -

Meridian City Council Meeting f
December 19,2000
Page 17
Corrie: Well, (inaudible) ACHD.
Jewett: Right now ACHD is proposing the signal (inaudible) coming out of the
front. So with that theory, they don't want that to go all the way out. They'd as
soon not. I just want to make sure that everybody understands that I was told
that nobody within the City (inaudible) the purpose of that stub street was to get
another access. I think those people in Elk Run told me that. The purpose of
that street was to alleviate traffic coming through their subdivision. There's no -
the question of whether or not that would ever go through, and that's why I
wanted to (inaudible) on it.
Corrie: Stoddard Road's going to be a main exit.
Jewett: Yes. That's what appears to be on the drawing is that Stoddard is going
to have their main entrance. All right?
Corrie: Any other questions?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Thank you. I appreciate that.
Bird: Mr. Mayor, before we proceed on, for Mr. Jewett's information seeing how
he was late, Shari, would you please explain on the Development Agreement
what you had discussed that you wanted in that on the conceptual drawing or
whatever you want to call that up there?
Stiles: I think what we wanted to address, mostly, was the concept of what it is
that they want to put there and not this specific plan because we'll have to
address, you know, the entryway corridor setbacks for landscaping and really get
down to detail on the specific plan, but I would envision the Development
Agreement addressing more of what they are proposing that their use would be
limited to the church facility and the daycare and the recreation facilities and that
type of thing and not pinpoint the exact requirements for it.
Bird: Thank you, Shari.
Anderson: Mr. Mayor, I had a question, then, for Mr. Field. Maybe he could
address the comments that Mr. Jewett made about the negotiations that have
gone on between the church and Mr. Jewett and whether there is any common
ground there.
Field: Well, to be perfectly honest, I have not been involved in the discussions
personally between the church and Mr. Jewett. I'm aware that there have been
some, so I don't know that I'm really in a position to give you any specific
information. I do have a gentleman here from the church that could maybe shed
Meridian City Council Meeting (
December 19, 2000
Page 18
a little more light on this. I just - as long as I'm here, just to further reiterate what
staff had said regarding the agreement, that was our intentions, too, to purely
address some specific uses and not specific uses and not intend to say that the
church is there and this is there and this is there, and for that matter, this is the
entrance. Like it was brought up before, the development - when the Conditional
Use Permit comes in for the church, then that's the time when we envision
getting into the specifics of the entrances and locations and landscaping and
everything else. Did you have something -
Bird: Bring him up and get his name. Thank you.
Elburst: Dean Elburst, member of Valley Shepherd. I really have not been
involved in any discussions with Mr. Jewett, so I don't know that I could add any
additional light to that, but I would take it back that we're having ongoing
meetings and I will take it back to the congregation.
Corrie: Is there anybody else in the public that would like to issue testimony on
the request? Okay.
Anderson: Mr. Mayor, I would have an additional question of staff. I guess this
would be for Gary under the recommendations on 1.12 -
*** End of Side 1 ***
Anderson: -- it talks about that Bear Creek Subdivision, and that is going to be .
designed at capacity. If they start running into problems, then that's going to be
monitored, and they'll be required to re-route the pressure sewer to the Ten Mile
Trunk along the eastbound off-ramp of 1-84. Gary, you could explain how it is
that we're going to try to sewer this, because my understanding is with Bear
Creek that that was it; there's no more. I'm concerned about approving anything
else that's going to go to that same line. We already talked about Bear Creek
being two different service areas, and we're doing a temporary fix with that as it
is, and bringing anything else on board that would go through this same area, I'm
not sure where all those lines would run and how that would work.
Smith: Councilman Anderson, Mayor and members of the Council, it's our -
perhaps this isn't worded clearly enough, but the sewering of this property is to
be directed to the gravity line in Meridian Road as much as can be sewered by
gravity. The remainder of the property by elevation would gravity-flow into the
Black Cat Trunk drainage. You're correct that the lift station for Bear Creek is
sized for Bear Creek and that's all. The reference here on where that pressure
line is pumping is the eight-inch line in Overland Road that the Bear Creek lift
station would be pumping into. We don't know absolutely what the capacity of
Bear Creek or the requirements for the Bear Creek sewering will be. The
comment that was included in the Bear Creek approval was that if they exceeded
- if the Bear Creek Subdivision exceeded the capacity of the eight-inch line on
Meridian City Council Meeting {
December 19,2000
Page 19
Overland Road, then they would need to carry that pressure line onto the east
and tie it directly into the Ten Mile Trunk. But there was no inference or should
not have been an inference that any other properties should drain into that Bear
Creek lift station.
Anderson: So with this property, then, do we know which parts of it can sewer
into Meridian Road?
Smith: No, sir. I don't know. Specifically we don't know how much of the
property can sewer into Meridian Road.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor, that would be more when they came through with their
Conditional Use Permit; run the models and know better how much it can be
sewered.
Smith: Mayor, Council, Councilwoman de Weerd, they're required as part of the
Development Agreement on the project to develop how much can be sewered,
and there's a schedule requirement of cover over the upper ends of the sewer
lines that they have to meet. So, I don't know how much engineering has been
done on this site. I would assume that their engineer has done enough how
much of the site can sewer by gravity to Meridian Road just by the location of the
church, for example.
Anderson: And I guess I point that out because I guess I'm in favor of letting the
applicant know at this point, and I would be in favor of some type of a restriction if
you (inaudible) that only allowed building permits for the buildings that could
actually be sewered off of Meridian Road and that the church would need to
understand that anything that isn't in the drainage that would go there is going to
have to wait for building permits until they could tie into that Black Cat trunk line.
Smith: Yes, sir. That would be our intent.
Corrie: Any other discussion?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Okay. Since there's no one else from the public that would like to testify,
Council, I'll entertain a motion to close the public hearing on Item No.8, request
for annexation and zoning.

those in favor of the motion say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Corrie: Council, any further discussion on the request?
Bird: Mr. Mayor, I'd like some information from Mr. Nichols if we could. This is
just a request for annexation and zoning for an R-8 zone so they could have their
church and stuff in that This other stipulation for putting on that you can only
sewer what flows naturally to the Ten Mile or the Meridian Road, should that be
part of our comments and stuff in an annexation and zoning?
Nichols: Councilman Bird, Mayor, members of the Council, it would be my
recommendation that anything that restricts a development of a property be put
into the Development Agreement so that at such time as they come forth with a
Conditional Use Permit application that you've essentially laid out the ground
rules for how the property can be developed; for example, if I understood the
testimony correctly, the only place that would have any residential development
would be that retirement housing portion that's shown in the southwest corner of
the parcel, which if I also understood the testimony correctly is that a piece of the
property that would only gravity-sewer into the Black Cat Trunk at such time that
it's constructed, so that if the Development Agreement restricted permits only
those improvements that could gravity-flow the sewer to the existing line that
exists further north on Meridian Road, that should be in the Development
Agreement and then when the design is coming through on the Conditional Use
Permit, it ties into the Development Agreement, and they'd have to show on their
concept or their site plan, you know, here's what we have and this will gravity-
flow sewer. Also, in order to address the concerns that were raised at the
Planning and Zoning Commission level with regard that we don't want a bunch of
R-8 houses in this parcel that you can put into the Development Agreement that
the uses are restricted to the uses that are specifically shown on the concept
plan without referencing the actual location; in other words, there's a worship
center, commons, gymnasium, classroom areas, prayer chapel, senior center,
daycare, school, bus garage, those are - the RV parking area, the retirement
housing, again, is the only thing that really fits into any residential use. So, those
things could be delineated in the Development Agreement that comes from this
concept plan. Those are the uses that are going to be allowed when this
property is annexed. So then the neighbors know that it's not some R-8 housing
that is going to be put in on the - where the baseball field is shown or something
similar to it. As Councilman Anderson suggested, restricting building permits -
everyone knows what the ground rules are.
Bird: Thank you.

De Weerd: Mr. Mayor, Mr. Nichols, would that include that something be worked
so that the property to the north that shares access or a shared access out onto
Meridian Kuna Road would be worked out?
Nichols: Councilwoman de Weerd, Mayor, members of the Council, my only
reluctance on that is there's not enough staff input on whether that's a good idea
or not. It may well be that ACHD says or your planning staff says on this five-
acre piece that's where the stub street is that that should not empty out onto
Meridian Kuna Road, State Highway 69; but instead there might be a limited
office space or something in that front part of that, but that back part, if it's going
to have houses on it, goes through Bear Creek to Stoddard in order to get - so, I
would be reluctant to put it in the Development Agreement to say that this
particular piece - I don't know what you would say. Negotiate with them? Well,
they're apparently doing that anyway. On the Conditional Use Permit side,
though, that's when a lot of these issues can be addressed and looked at more
closely. It may be that what's arrived at is a shared entrance on the northeast
corner of the church property which allows some use on Meridian Road by this
parcel, but maybe the back part of it goes through the Johnson development and
Bear Creek. But, at this point it's all just kind of up in the air.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Corrie: Any other discussion or questions?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Then the question before us is a request for annexation and zoning.

including attorney's to be put into the Development Agreement and for the

Item No.9. Public Hearing: RZ-OO-006 Request for Rezone of 7.14 acres from
I-L to C-G for the Meridian Business Park by Donald Asbell - East
Franklin Road and Baltic Place:
Corrie: Item No.9 is a public hearing, request for rezone of 7.14 acres from I-L
to C-G for the Meridian Business Park by Donald Asbell, east Franklin Road and
Baltic Place. At this time I will open the public hearing and invite staff comments
first.
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, this is for the property in the existing Meridian
Business Industrial Park on Franklin Road. This would be the fire station site
here. These are empty pad sites currently owned by Mr. Thad Thomas. He has
a building that's been constructed here. This is where the new building is that's
available for lease. Mr. Don Asbell has his structures - well, he goes all the way
to King Street with these structures, but the request is to rezone the property
from light-industrial to commercial, and it's basically due to the fact that they
would like to attract tenants other than straight industrial users. Mr. Asbell and
Dave Williams have experienced a market more for some retail and office use
along this corridor, but are prohibited from marketing to that sector just because
of the fact that the light-industrial zone. There is a ReMax office in one of these
buildings. This is a little confusing because these lots don't reflect the lotline
adjustment that has been done and the County's records do not reflect that
adjustment yet. The existing Thad Thomas building, basically, the parking lot
goes clear to King Street, and with these two pad sites remaining there, their
hope was to market that more toward the retail or office use. That's the reason
for the request, and staff would recommend approval with the staff and agency
conditions and recommendations of the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Thank you.
Corrie: Thank you, Ms. Stiles. Is the applicant here this evening?
Williams: My name is Dave Williams, Diamond Properties, 4124 North Westview
Way, Boise, Idaho. I'm here to represent both of the applicants. Mayor Corrie
and City Council members, Shari is directly correct in stating that we are having a
lot of people wanting to lease from us, but they're leaning more toward the office.
A few retail. Primarily office. In Thad Thomas' case, he has constructed a
building that is a two-story, beautiful brick-block building, and if you've been by
Franklin Road past these parcels of ground, I'm sure you've seen his project.
The core is in place. He's done a wonderful landscaping and water fountain out
front of this complex. He originally was going to occupy this building, but since,
he decided to stay in the present building he's in. He's been approached by
some large governmental agencies as well as some private corporations. He
would like to hold out, get this rezone into place so that he can lease to one or
two tenants. He would really rather have just one tenant in this project of his. He
has 4.3 parking spaces to every 1000 square feet, so that puts him well under
250 square feet for parking space. Then the pad sites that he has that front
Meridian City Council Meeting (
December 19,2000
Page 23
Franklin Road, he perceives at a future date those would. probably go to
additional offices. So that is the purpose in his request that he foresees that
that's the type of tenant that he would be having wanting to occupy his building.
Don Asbell has two buildings in place. One building he has had in place for a
couple of years that is horizontal to Franklin Road and is right on the corner of
East Baltic and Franklin. We presently have that building fully occupied;
however, and we call that Building 1, however, in Building 4 which sits
perpendicular and is between the corner property and Thad Thomas' property,
that's correct where the arrow is, that's the building that the southwest end of it
we have ReMax in. Once we put ReMax in that 20,000 square-foot building,
ouch; we can't put more office in there. We're very limited office. We're limited
to 25 percent of the square footage in there as office. That building is a single-
story, stucco building, and we have parking scenario for it that equates to about
1 :400 with some overflow on both buildings. We've been in a position with that
project that because of the height of the eves and so on we don't have a lot of
overhead doors. On the East Side of that building we have no overhead doors at
all. All storefront entries. We've had a lot of call for 12,000 square-foot users
that would like to be office users. Very limited on the retail side, but we might
end up with a small retail business wanting to locate in this project. So our
purpose in the request this evening is that we feel like we have the frontage, the
adequate frontage to be zoned C-G; over 1600 square feet of frontage between
the two applicants, and the need is for the small office users in the Asbell project
and the large user in the Thad Thomas project.
Corrie: Have your applicants any objection to the recommendations of the
Planning and Zoning as far as the conditions?
Williams: Not at all, Mayor.
Corrie: Council.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor, just one question. Why aren't you going L-O? Why is
your request not L-O?
Williams: Well, the C-G allows us to do what we want to get accomplished 100
percent office for Thad Thomas, 100 percent office for Building 4 for Don Asbell,
and we understand it would be limited because of the parking scenario on the
corner building for Don Asbell. It does for us what we want to get accomplished.
Specifically for Don Asbell, his Building 1, we do have some users in there that
wouldn't be suited for the L-O. We didn't want to have to eliminate present
tenants that would be in that building.
Corrie: Any other questions?
Bird: I have none.

Corrie: Okay. Thank you very much. Is there anyone else from the public that
would like to issue testimony in this request for rezone? Okay. Did I see you
raise your hand? Okay. Council, any questions for the record? Hearing none,
I'll entertain a motion to close the public hearing on Item No.9, request for
rezone.
Anderson: So moved.

Corrie: Council, further discussion?
Anderson: Mr. Mayor, this request makes perfectly good sense to me; therefore,
I would make a motion that we approve the request for a rezone of 7.14 acres
from I-L to a C-G for Meridian Business Park by Donald Asbell, east Franklin
Road and Baltic Place and instruct the City Attorney to draw up the Findings of
Facts and Conclusions of Law and Decision of Order.

Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law. Any further discussion?
Bird: Mayor, I've got one question. Public hearing - Thad Thomas is also
included in this, but it's all under one name? Asbell?

Meridian City Council Meeting (

proposed Meridian Greens No. 4 by Scott-Fuller
Investment/Glencoe - northwest corner and northeast corner of SE
5th and Overland Road:
Corrie: Item No. 10, public hearing, request for Preliminary Plat approval of 13
building lots and 3 other lots on 7.88 acres in an R-4 zone for proposed Meridian
Greens No. 4 by Scott-Fuller Investments / Glencoe, northwest corner and
northeast corner of Southeast 5th and Overland Road. At this point I will open the
public hearing and invite the staff comments first.
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, this is for the remnant piece of property that fronts
Overland Road. It currently serves as the entrance to the Meridian Greens
Subdivision from Meridian Road or from Overland Road - one of the entrances.
Do you have the recommendations from Planning and Zoning Commission in
your packets? I would like to -
Corrie: I think so. Yes.
Stiles: Brad Hawkins-Clark did review these recommendations and had some
requested changes from what he thought was the record. I'll need you to help
me on this. On Page 4, the recommendation by Planning and Zoning
Commission was that the plat - to modify the plat boundary to exclude the 80-
foot easement. Now they're not showing that anywhere on the plat as part of the
subdivision. The boundary just -
Corrie: Excuse me, Shari. What number?
Stiles: It's probably the very first one, the first paragraph there that is 1.6, but it
would be - he's noted it as on the top of Page 4 there. He's written the plat
boundary was modified to exclude the 8D-foot easement. The boundary
description must be amended on Sheet 2 of the Final Plat's Certificate of Owners
to reflect this change. That's what he felt the motion was by the Planning and
Zoning Commission. Planning and Zoning Commission. 1.7 is a moot point
because they have moved their pressurized irrigation outside the easement.
1.8, that comment, their current plan has been modified to address that. 1.10,
the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that the developer be given
the option to either place a buffer in an easement or common lot along East 5th
Way. This is where looking into the site, this is where East 5th comes in,
Southeast 5th. This is about roughly where the property begins the southern
boundary. Staff had initially made the recommendation that this should - since
this is a collector, it should be a 20-foot landscape buffer and include it as a
common lot which we typically do on collectors, and that's our typical
requirement. They are having houses front on the collector which is a diversion
from ACHD's standards, but they really didn't have any choice if they were to
develop this property residentially. On that same 1.10, the second to the last
sentence Brad felt should be modified to say developer to provide the City with a
Meridian City Council Meeting (
December 19, 2000 .
Page 26
(
landscape plan of all landscaped areas including the landscape easement on the
west side prior to approval of the Final Plat. Then, the remainder of that
paragraph would be a new separate condition that's unrelated to the landscape
easement. He added one item on Page 6, and he had written this down as 1.22,
Brad Hawkins-Clark, that is, a new recommendation from the Planning and
Zoning Commission that the developer shall enter into an Agreement with the
Homeowners Association to specifically address pipe sizing, designing a looped
system, increasing pumping capacity, and other concerns of the pressurized
irrigation system addressed in Harmon Averas (sic) October 5th letter to City
Council. There was some concern expressed in the Planning and Zoning
Commission meetings that if they hooked this phase of the project onto the
existing system. They had already had some pressure problems, and they just
wanted to make sure that that was addressed as part of this approval. One thing
that was missed during the review, and this was kind of as a result of the
transition of the new landscape ordinance being in effect now, was that this 20-
foot landscaped common area has been increased per Ordinance to 35 feet. So
I guess in keeping with the new landscape ordinance, we would request that
landscape buffer be increased to 35 feet. I believe staff could go along with
having this 20-foot strip be a landscape setback as long as there is no
encroachment of fences in that and it was landscaped and maintained
consistently to provide a nice entrance into the subdivision. All of these lots
would share a driveway - well, this one wouldn't. This one looks like it has some
little hammerhead configuration there. But these two lots would share a
driveway. These two lots would share a driveway to help alleviate some of the
concerns of Ada County Highway District of having houses front directly onto a
collector. We had initially tried to convince them to try to have some kind of an
alley access so that they didn't have any garages fronting this street and that
their accesses - they'd have one access shared, but that was not accepted by
the applicant. The City currently has a well site here; City well site goes to the
centerline of the Eight-Mile Lateral. Typically we would require that the common
lots include all of this Eight-Mile Lateral area that is owned by the applicant. Not
entirely sure why the recommendation was made to exclude that from the plat.
Currently there is a Nampa Meridian Irrigation District road on the east side of the
Eight Mile Lateral, and because we'd made that comment about making this a
common lot, and that their fences would need to be on the easement line unless
they received an encroachment agreement with Nampa Meridian Irrigation
District that, I believe that's part of the reason they've taken that out. It is the
developer's intent that these lots would not have fencing along them, they would
like them to be landscaping similar to - I guess I don't have pictures of that.
Some of the other lots within the Subdivision have actually landscaped down to
the bank; they do have a fence there too. Mr. Fuller did have some nice pictures
previously of the treatment of that area and what his desire was. Other than that
I don't have any - if you can enlighten us about what this whole deal was with
was the Eight Mile Lateral I'd appreciate that and taking that out of there. Staff
would recommend approval with the conditions as noted and amended, and
Meridian City Council Meeting (
December 19,2000
Page 27
would also request consideration of revising the common lot along Overland road
to be increased to thirty-five feet to meet the current landscape ordinance.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Can I ask Shari a question?
Corrie: Yes.
Bird: Shari on all of these changes on the Planning and Zoning recommendation
are they Mr. Clark's recommendations or are they the Planning and Zoning?
Were they misinterpreted or how come we missed so many complete things? Is
that Mr. Clark's interpretation or was that the will of the Planning and Zoning
commission?
Stiles: They were what Mr. Hawkins-Clark believed was the action by the
Planning and Zoning Commission after reading the minutes and having attended
meetings.
Anderson: Mr. Mayor, do these findings then once they're made --- do they go to
your staff Shari, and you guys have a chance to review them before you come to
counsel? If you disagree with them then you meet with the attorney or how does
that work?
Stiles: We've just recently started reviewing these recommendations from the
Planning and Zoning Commission to make sure that they reflected the motions
that were made. Unfortunately we're under the same - we have the same
restrictions as the city attorney's office has in the timing of getting the actual
minutes from the meeting. It's real hard to sit through those long meetings and to
catch everything. When you have the actual minutes and can read the minutes
and read the actual motion that was made, it's a lot easier to catch. I don't know
if these were prepared prior to ever having the minutes or what exactly
happened. My staff has not had time with the deadlines we've had for other
projects to get these reviewed prior to this.
Bird: Shari you do get a set of the minutes, your staff gets a set of the minutes of
the meeting?
Stiles: Yes.
Bird: How soon are they coming out?
Stiles: I couldn't tell you when they came out.
Meridian City Council Meeting (
December 19,2000
Page 28
Bird: After the meeting, are we getting them within one week?
Stiles: It's probably a couple of weeks. We were on deadline - we did get these
comments on December 8th but we had application deadline day. We've got
applications we've got to review, it's an excuse - we do what we have to
absolutely get done and every minute of every day is filled with what we have to
do. It's not that we tried to put it off till today. The timing of these meetings -
Bird: I know Shari, we're all under a time schedule. I have a real problem when
we come in on recommendations and our planner is interpreting for Planning and
Zoning Commission. I don't have a set of minutes here, myself, to read through
and see what the actual motion or the discussions were. I have a real problem
with it.
Corrie: I guess I feel if there's that many differences between the findings in
what your staff is seeing then this item should be pulled from the agenda on
Friday and we shouldn't be discussing it until you guys have come to conclusion
on that.
Stiles: I don't think this should be a reflection of either my department or the
attorney's office. Initially when these comments are made, this is right when the
application -- when we initially go through that application and make all our
comments based on the application. That's what goes to the Planning and
Zoning Commission. What they've put in here is exactly what our comments
were, that's what these items are that were prepared by the attorney's office.
Those are basically verbatim what staff's recommendations were. However, the
Planning and Zoning Commission did not accept those exactly as they were
written. That's why Brad is very thorough and took a great deal of time going
through this to make sure that what's in here reflected what the Planning and
Zoning Commission came up with for their recommendation.
Bird: No reflection of any department - it isn't fair to the applicant or to the
Council when there's that many changes that the staff hasn't written out and got
it to us by Friday to look at it and even to let the attorney look at it so that he can
go back on his notes and maybe find out which one was what the Commission
had wanted in their recommendation. That's why we had set this time limit on a
Friday and if we can't get hit it (inaudible) we're just going to have to pull it until
the next meeting. That's nobody's fault. I just don't like having to pass on a
motion when you've read off all of the things and I can't sit here and write them
fast enough. I can't remember every word of them so I really don't know what I'm
passing on. I need to see it in writing.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor, then perhaps it needs to go back to how it was awhile
back that Planning and Zoning reviews their own motions. This was done - staff
was doing a courtesy by cleaning that up and maybe it needs to be Planning and
Meridian City Council Meeting (
December 19,2000
Page 29
Zoning Commissions work that they look at their own recommendations. They
don't see this.
Bird: They don't see it I agree with you, but if there's that many changes in the
recommendations -- has the developer seen a copy of this? The applicant?
Stiles: No.
Bird: Have we seen a copy of it?
Stiles: No.
Bird: What did we say at our last workshop? If it is not ready by Friday,
everything, it gets pulled from the agenda. We've sat up here and looked like a
bunch of dunces and we don't need any help we can do it ourselves.
De Weerd: Whose responsibility, Council member Bird, is it? Should it be
Planning and Zoning, staff that has fined these?
Bird: Staff is fine. They should get it so that everybody can look at it so if there's
any disagreement we can see what the differences are. If it's one item or one
letter I have no problem with that, I can remember that. When you've got a list as
long as my arm I'm not going to remember it.
De Weerd: I'm just asking, whose responsibility should it be. Should it be the
Planning and Zoning Commission, should it be the City Attorney's office, or
should it be Planning and Zoning Staff? I think Planning and Zoning Staff having
to do this is - he actually went an extra step.
Bird: I have no problem with that. I think that if there's this much disagreement
on the recommendation then I think that we take the extra week - after the first of
the week we'll be meeting every week--
De Weerd: Planning and Zoning twice a week.
Bird: Put Planning and Zoning twice a month. I think that if there was that many
the staff should have got back to the attorney, Planning and Zoning Attorney, and
go the minutes or the tapes. There' are tapes, they can listen to the tapes and
find out what is the recommendation that is coming before us. If it changes then
you get it in writing to us.
Anderson: I guess in answer to your questi,on Tammy, it would seem logical that
the Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed their own recommendations.
That would be like asking Will to review our recommendations and decide what
our intent was. I would agree that it probably ought to be the Planning and
Meridian City Council Meeting (
December 19,2000
Page 30
Zoning Commission themselves once the recommendations are written that they
should review them.
Corrie: This is a recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
don't think they even see it-
De Weerd: No they don't.
Corrie: -- I'm just repeating what you're saying and I agree with it. I think that if
you have a comment and if this isn't what you think it is, it should go back to the
Planning and Zoning and they look at their recommendation then they bring it to
us so that they get a second shot at it. We're going to have extra meetings in
Planning and Zoning. They can do that and make sure that we get, that you
have it, they have it and they both agree then we get it. I think that would be the
ideal situation that we're going to have to have. However, we do have a public
hearing here and we can continue this and have -- We need to send it back to
the Planning and Zoning to give it to us again. I don't know what the protocol
would be Mr. Attorney. Will we have it to continue at the public hearing, send it
back, or what would be the best protocol with the Planning and Zoning
Commission?
Nichols: Mayor, members of the Council, in my opinion, the way to handle this
are I mean the applicant is here and ready to testify. Go ahead and take that
testimony, Shari can have Brad reduce these suggested revisions in a memo
form so that the applicant has them. I can take them to Dave Swartley in our
office and have him look at them. I don't find the minutes in my file here --
they're probably in the Planning and Zoning minute file instead of that portion of it
being put in here - see if Dave missed it when he put the recommendations
together, then he missed it. We can take care of that, come back and say, we
missed it and this is what it should be. As far as this particular one, the applicant
is here. It may be that when the applicant sees Brad's memo he says, yeah
that's it. I will say this though; I want to hear from the applicant with regard to this
thirty five-foot setback, landscape setback on Overland road. I have a question
for Shari, what was the landscape setback at the time the application was filed
with regard to that Overland road landscape buffer?
Stiles: It would have been twenty feet.
Corrie: Is the applicant here tonight?
Hard: Hello, my name is Matt Hard, I'm with Civil Survey Consultants at 100
South Atkins Way, Suite 101 in Meridian. I represent Fuller-Scott and Glencoe
for this application. I might as well dive right in to what the points that Shari
brought up. Originally staff made recommendations after our original submittal,
prior to the Planning and Zoning meeting, we revised the plat to address several
of those concerns. That was the revised plat as what we looked at during that
/
Meridian City Council Meeting i
December 19,2000
Page 31
meeting. Some of these comments that Shari has made is in regards to the
points that are moot now regarding the irrigation easement and things of that
nature. Originally we were going to (inaudible) the east half of the southeast fifth,
those lots one through five there blocks two. We were going to originally plat
those to the centerline of the canal but then we realized we would have to get an
encroachment agreement from Nampa Meridian and that might be rather difficult
to get. Instead of going through that headache we decided to just move the
(inaudible) lines back to match their existing easement lines so we would not
need Nampa Meridian's permission. There's several comments like 1.6, 1.7 that
are moot now, they're not a concern. I got a copy of this report yesterday; I
looked at it this morning. The only glaring discrepancy that I had was with Item
1.10. During the Planning and Zoning meeting we talked about staff -- we
discussed that during the meeting. The developer would prefer that both sides
be easements, they were still being included in a landscape plan that would be
approved by the city. The developer will still pay and construct the landscape
items prior to final acceptance by the city. During the Planning and Zoning
meeting, Planning and Zoning ruled that the West Side of southeast fifth could be
an easement instead of a common lot. Staff supported that decision during that
meeting. We did decide that the landscape buffer along Overland road should be
a common lot since it was fronting a major arterial in that area. Shari brought up
the point tonight that now the city would like to have thirty-five foot instead of the
twenty feet, which was the rule when we originally submitted this application. I
would like to state that we would like to stick with the twenty-foot easement being
that was the conditions of when we submitted this application. We touched
briefly about having a fence along the inside of the Eight-Mile Lateral there.
Other fences of Meridian greens have not been fenced, the property owner's
been an allowed to plant grasses and landscape up to the water's edge. The
developer would like to again not be required to construct a fence along that
border. Staff report says that they would encourage a fence but would not
require one. When you put a fence on the edge of a canal like that the side of
the fence that's by the canal is just overgrown with weeds and it's (inaudible).
Overall it would be much better for the property owner's and for the Subdivision
to be allowed to utilize that area. Obviously (inaudible) the lot lines that are
building setbacks will still be enforced from that line but they would be able to
utilize that area clear to the water's edge. The shared access as we've showed
there on the east side of Southeast 5th were approved by ACHD. It is an
exception to their normal policy but there's really not a real good way to access
those lots unless we do use the shared driveways in that area. The access
points shown on there were approved by ACHD and I believe that's alii have for
now. Thank you.
Bird: Mr. Mayor, did you understand all the changes in the recommendations
that Shari read?
Hard: Yes' did.
Meridian City Council Meeting (

(
Corrie: I guess the next question do you agree?
Hard: Well the exception -
Corrie: The landscaping, yeah I understand now. Anyone else want to
(inaudible) testimony? Council?
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor, just one more question for staff. Shari, apparently the
concerns of the Homeowners Association has been addressed. Since they're
not here, I would assume that those have been addressed through Planning and
Zoning.
Stiles: Mr. Mayor, Council, Councilwoman de Weerd. That was the 1.22 that
Brad had added to this that the Planning and Zoning Commission had added in
their motion an additional condition for them to enter into an agreement with
Homeowners. Since they made that in their motion that's probably why they're
not here tonight.
De Weerd: The applicant agreed with that.
Corrie: Any other questions?
Bird: I have none Mayor.
Corrie: Then I presume we better close the public hearing on Item No. 10.
Bird: Mr. Mayor, I move that we close the public hearing on the Request for
Preliminary Plat approval of 13 building lots and 3 other lots on 7.88
acres in an R-4 zone, Meridian Greens No. 4 by Scott-Fuller

MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
Bird: Mr. Mayor, I believe we have got to work out a better process and I think
That Councilman Anderson or somebody hit up on it that we need - maybe it
was the Mayor - we need to get these back and let the Planning and Zoning
people take a look at their recommendations and stuff so that we are getting a
little better ones. Adding our extra meetings should help that but with that and
understanding the applicant understood all of the recommendations from the
Meridian City Council Meeting (
December 19,2000

spiel. I would move that we approve the request for Preliminary Plat approval of
13 building lots, and 3 other lots on 7.88 acres in an R-4 zone, for proposed
Meridian Greens No. 4 by Scott-Fuller investments and Glencoe with staff
comments added and 1.22 added to the recommendations from the Planning and
Zoning for the attorney to draw up the Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law
and Decision of Order. Excuse me I need to add something to that. That the
landscape setback would stay at the 20 feet when it was proposed.
De Weerd: Second.
Corrie: Motion has been made and seconded to approve the Preliminary Plat
calling the staff comments, adding 1.22 (inaudible) and that the 20-foot setback is
standard on that. Other comments made in the motion. Any further discussion?
Roll-call vote, Mr. Berg.
Roll call: McCandless, aye; Anderson, aye; Bird, aye; De Weerd, aye

Nichols: Shari, if Brad could get that memo upstairs to us as soon as possible so
that we can use that in preparing the findings that would be gratefully
appreciated.

Item 12.
Public Hearing: VAR 00-022 Request for a variance of Section
12-3-6 (a and b) Time Extension of Preliminary Plat for Gemstone
Center No.4 - west of Eagle Road and south of Fairview Avenue:
Corrie: Item No. 12, is a request for variance in section 12-3-6 (a and b) Time
Extension of Preliminary Plat for Gemstone Center No. 4 - west of Eagle Road
and south of Fairview Avenue. At this time we'll open the public hearing, invite
staff to give the comments first.
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council this is for the property out next to the Blue Cross.
This would be the Blue Cross property right here, this is where Pine Street - half
the street has been constructed. The applicant came in and was granted a six-
month extension in May for the platting of this property. They had requested an
extension and Council may grant an extension up to one year but it was felt that
construction of th~t Pine Street was a priority. The City wanted to see it get done
so put the limit of six months of it. The sixth months has expired, the application
is null and void unless this variance is granted. We had hoped it would have
worked but Ms. Bowcutt is representing the applicant and I'm not sure if their
request is for a specific time period. I believe she would like the additional six
months which would indicate that it would be May 16, 2001, if the variance were
granted that they would need to have the plat recorded.
Corrie: Since this is a public hearing, Becky, welcome back.
Bowcutt: Becky Bowcutt, 11283 West Hickory Dale. As Shari indicated we
submitted time extension back in May, it gave us till November. It was one of
those items that I kind of lost track of, it came before you, and I did not attend the
hearing. The Council granted a six-month extension, your ordinance does allow
for up to one year. We have our construction materials on the site; sewer and
water pipe are out there. We have had some problems with storm drainage
because we do have few ground water issues that we've been contending with,
then dealing with Nampa Meridian on the overflow from our storm drainage
facilities. We resolved that and quickly found ourselves running out of time so
that's why I'm here this evening to ask for this variance. We're asking for that
additional six months, the ordinance allows up to one year so we felt that it was
fair and we would like to proceed. Thank you.
Corrie: So you are requesting six months, by May 16, 2001?
Bowcutt: Yes sir.
Corrie: Thank you. Any other persons want to issue testimony in the public
hearing. Hearing none, Council (inaudible) gives the questions of applicants?
Bird: I have none.

Item 14.
Department Reports:
A. Public Works Director - Gary Smith:
1. Meridian Transportation Task Force Committee
Report:
2. Building Lease - Public Works / Building / Planning &
Zoning:
3. Change Order No. 4 by Turnkey Construction for the
Digester Project:
B. City Attorney - Bill Nichols:
1. Financing of Police Station:
Smith: Thank you Mayor, the first item I have for you this evening is the Meridian
Transportation Task Force Committee Report. I believe you have that report in
your packet. That committee meets annually and we met on November the 16th
for about three hours and discussed our transportation related issues in the City
of Meridian. Out of that meeting came the minutes that are attached to the
memo that I sent and along with that at the end of the minutes is a prioritized
recommendation of the transportation projects that this committee feels are a
priority for the City of Meridian. I might mention also that the membership of this
Task Force Committee is pretty diversified. I included a copy of that membership
in the memorandum so that you can see who is on the committee.
Representation from the citizens of Meridian, staff of Meridian, Councilperson
and Planning and Zoning along with representatives from ITD and ACHD. It's a
pretty diverse group. The recommendation from, well actually the requirement
from the City of Meridian is to submit a prioritization of projects to Compass,
ACHD and lTD. I would recommend that this recommendation, whatever you
feel you want to submit to them, goes to all three agencies so that there isn't a
breakdown of communication anywhere along the line so that this
recommendation is received by all agencies that are involved in putting the
Transportation Improvement Project program together. Theoretically, I guess
actually Compass is the organization that coordinates the efforts of the
Transportation Projects to ACHD and ultimately onto lTD. I guess realistically,
and I think it was probably expressed by either the ACHD representative or the
ITD representative, that not all of the priority based listing that we showed will be
fundable. I think it was probably a consensus of the committee that we're
working through maybe the top six items. We established a whole footnote
listing at the end of the thirteen items that we wanted to include in the
Meridian City Council Meeting (
December 19, 2000 '
Page 37
(
recommendation to the Compass, ACHD, and ITD that some of these are
actually under construction or in final designed phases and ultimate funding. We
didn't want anyone to feel that these were not critically important items for the
City of Meridian even though they are advancing in the design changes toward
construction. The Locus for example, the Locust Grove Road rebuild from
Fairview to Ustick is I think 95 percent complete as far as design goes. It will
move forward for construction but we didn't want that to fall off of the list
completely. The committee one that to retain itself as an item on the priority list.
The Locust Grove overpass, as you know is progressing in the design stage and
you'll have a memorandum of understanding or a cooperative agreement to
review at the second meeting in January for that project. Do you have any
questions concerning the minutes from the meeting or the prioritized listing of
transportation projects?
Anderson: Mr. Mayor, I did have one comment Gary, on your priority based list.
I guess Item 7 to me, and I don't know - the signalization of that east bound off-
ramp road -
Smith: Yes sir.
Anderson: -- to me that is something that's an existing that's a hazard. To me
that needs to have a very high priority and should be probably number one on
the list. Some of these other roads, I mean they're not even built yet, yes they're
badly needed but if we don't put that traffic signal at the interstate up higher on
the priority list -- you mentioned that we're probably dealing with one through six,
that may never happen. They need to understand that that's a high priority. The
traffic lights at the fire stations, if these other projects that happen - one through
six occur, those would be taken care of. If we finish the construction on the ten-
mile station for example and there's enough money left in the budget then we
may have money that we could buy the used equipment from them and install
that. I really think that signalization at the interstate needs to have a higher
priority in my mind so that it definitely gets taken care of. That's an immediate
hazard to me.
Smith: I understand that Councilman Anderson and it did receive a lot of
discussion. There was some discussion that ACHD had some funds, that they
could contribute to the installation of that signal and I'm not sure that was ever
substantiated. You're right it is a hazard. There was a comment made by one of
the committee members, are we going to have to have a fatality out there before
we get a signal lined up. It was a very serious discussion about it. This list is
presented to you for your comments and it can be adjusted to your desires.
There are no limitations there.
Anderson: I guess when I look in the total scheme of things these other ,projects
- for each of those projections we're talking about millions of dollars and several
years to take place. This one is not of the magnitude and we can't wait three or
Meridian City Council Meeting (
December 19, 2000
Page 38
(
four years, in my mind for that to take place. If we move that higher on the
priority list, even if there's x amount of dollars available it still doesn't mean that
on some of these other projects - design or write away purchase and some of
that could go on but it may just delay whatever the build out time would be for
whatever difference it would cost, I don't know what the signalization out there
would be. 150, 000 dollars I don't know.
Smith: I can't remember the dollar value for that.
Corrie: Gary where was Pamela (sic) in that recommendation? How did she
react to that?
Smith: She was not in attendance Mayor.
Corrie: Oh, she wasn't?
Smith: No, they had their planner there.
Corrie: Lard wasn't there either?
Smith: No, Jonathan Hennings was there from ITD, he's their planner. I
shouldn't say all of these work items, but I would venture to say that your request
as a Mayor in Council for the City of Meridian will carry a lot of weight as to what
projects they move forward with. The pressures are always there for projects to
be built everywhere because there are always a lot of projects and there are
limited moneys available.
Corrie: That will be an ITO project and ACHD. Of course Chuck Winder is very
aware of that and so is Bonny McClure. I've talked to them so much now that
they don;t even want to see me coming but they all agree. I think that if we made
that as one of the higher priorities and particularly let ITD know about it then we
might be able to get that through there. That's ~ minor thing for ITO as far as
cost is concerned, compared to building a new overpass.
Smith: There is work involved in that signal other than just a signal. There is
work that will be involved in the off-ramp itself, widening the off-ramp, adding a
lane, storage lane for a turning lane, that sort of thing. There's also a
synchronization of the signal lights then, north south on the Kuna Meridian
highway. That's going to have to be changed. One of the things that continues
to baffle me is that ACHD still hasn't resolved signal synchronization for the City
of Meridian. The last word that I had from that meeting from this meeting is that
they have to add another 20 feet of tower at their base station in Garden City in
order for the transmitting device located out here at the Amity, Kuna Meridian
intersection, to see through the trees so that way they can control our signals.
That project has been ongoing for four years probably. They still don't have it
resolved. Adding another signal at the off-ramp is going to compound the flow of
Meridian City Council Meeting (
December 19, 2000 >
Page 39
traffic. The Highway District Traffic Engineer said that it's going to be better
coordinated. The signalization needs to be much better coordinated for that to
work. There are some problems in getting that done. Again the prioritization of
these projects by you as Mayor in Council sets the stage for what needs to be
funded or what we ask to be funded as the City of Meridian. Along with that I
would say any influence that you could put forth to the agencies for the spending
of the money, even individually or as a group, written, verbal. I would assume
that all has an impact.
Corrie: I suppose, based upon what you are saying it should be right under one
because ITD is involved in this Locust Grove right now. They could be - that
signalization of 184 eastbound off-ramp should be plugged up pretty close up
there and then the others are ACHD projects. Just a comment here.
Bird: Mr. Mayor, Gary I first I want to commend you and your committee for the
nice job you guys did on Shari, Chief Gordon being involved. I also, I think this
184 eastbound ramp needs, unlike the Mayor, I think it needs to go right up under
the Locust Grove overpass. What would you estimate, half a million dollars?
There is a lot of roadwork, people just think you're going to throw a signal up
there but you're not. There's quite a bit of roadwork and stuff that's going to have
to be done. I would think, I don't know what lights cost Ron said 100, 150. I
wouldn't have any idea but I think the roadwork would probably be a couple
300,000 dollars. I surely think on a safety measure that, if the Mayor - we can
put some pressure on ITO - I'm to the point that I think safety wise that might be
number one priority. Coming of f of there, coming from Nampa quite a bit I'm
telling you you're best to just turn right, go down and swing through JB's and get
onto Overland road and turn. I hate to be saying that especially with the Chief
sitting there that that's what I do. It's the only - I'm not too sure you're actually
looking at two different items I feel, but I think that signalization of that eastbound
off-ramp should be started immediately. I really firmly believe that and I think
everyone of these are very high priorities but to me that has got to be - safety
wise has got to be number one priority.
Corrie: When is the funding coming back to ITO? I know they had their board
meetings and they're pretty tough on everybody but maybe we need to get to
their next board meeting and just make a presentation to them as well as to put
this priority in front of them. Get with Monty and push pretty hard. The last time I
went to one of their meetings they were pretty territorial about their money but I
think under the circumstances I think you can make our point. This they do listen
anyway.
Bird: That is just such a safety issue that - you shouldn't even have to prioritize
that.
Smith: Mayor Council. ITO did an intersection study for a bunch of intersections
in; I'm not sure if it was just district three or if it was statewide. They did a big
Meridian City Council Meeting ('
December 19, 2000 '
Page 40
(
intersections study of which this intersection was part. I don't know all of the
components of that study but out of that came this recommendation of FY20004
for the construction of it.
De Weerd: 2004?
Smith: 2004 that's right. Four years away, well three years away. Which is
unacceptable.
Anderson: Everyone was turning right so they figured nobody made left hand
turns there.
De Weerd: That is also when the corporate park Walton on east first was late for
improvement wasn't it?
Smith: Yes, I believe.
Anderson: Mr. Mayor I guess I would just make a recommendation and just
throw it out on the floor if Gary has to send this on there's no point setting here all
night talking about this. I make a recommendation that we move this up to our
number one priority on the priority list.
Bird: I'll second that.
Corrie: Motion been made and seconded to move the priority list as a
signalization of 184 eastbound off-ramp on the Meridian Road to the number one
position. The others follow the way they have it?
Anderson: I think it's great work that the committee did.
Corrie: Hearing that is there any other discussion? Hearing none, all in favor
say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
Corrie: Gary will send all three this letter of priority list. I may just send the letter
to each one of them personally that we want some business that was discussed
quite a bit here to Monty and to Chuck as well.
Smith: I agree, I think that would be appropriate. Mr. Mayor do you want me to
write that letter and sign it as City Engineer or do you want -
Corrie: Do you want to sign it Engineer and then have myself and all the Council
sign it? I don't think it would make much difference if we do send a separate
letter from us. We can send a separate letter to Chuck and to Monty and
everybody can sign it if they want to on that letter.

I.
Smith: Alright.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor, Gary does ACHD and COMPASS need some action on
this by Council?
Smith: Yes. I don't know whether that should be a resolution or just an approval
of this prioritization.
Corrie: Mr. Counselor we can put this as a resolution you know.
Anderson: Mr. Mayor and members of the Council you can or you can simply
pass a motion to take Gary's committee's recommendations and move that one
to the top and that's your list.
De Weerd: So do make sure that ACHD and Compass notes that we did act on
it.
Smith: Yes, I'll put that in the letter that it as a formal motion at this meeting.
Thank you. The second item I have is the building lease for the Public Works
Building Department Planning and Zoning office area that was prepared by
Thornton Oliver Keller, the leasing agent for Mr. William A. Hahn. This is for
building office space located at the corner of Stratford and the Watertower Lane.
The address is 660 East Watertower Lane, 6711 square feet of office space.
The lease as you have it has been back and forth between my office, City
Attorney's office, the Leasing Agent's office, and Mr. Hahn. This lease language
has been approved by Mr. Nichols and it has been approved by Mr. Hahn.
They've been very good to work with as far as what our requirements are. We
can put everybody in the building space that is contained in exhibit b of this
lease. It leaves us several offices for expansion beyond the personnel that we
are hiring or have hired recently and are endeavoring to hire for our immediate
needs. I guess my request on the behalf of the Public Works building and
Planning and Zoning Department is for you approval of this lease agreement with
William A. Hahn. Do you have any questions concerning the lease?
Corrie: When is our present lease up?
Smith: Our present lease ends January 31st of 2001. We will not be ready or the
building will not be ready. for occupancy until March 1 st. We have one month to
rent at our existing location before we can move.
Corrie: We got the okay to do that?
Smith: I have not.
Meridian City Council Meeting ('
December 191 2000 '
Page 42
Corrie: What happens if we don't get it, are you going to have to do outside
plumbing and a tent?
Smith: They'll have to evict us and I think they'll have to give us notice don't they
Mr. Attorney?
Bird: They can't get you up running in 80 days.
Smith: I have not talked to the building owners specifically to see what problems,
if any there would be. Our anticipation is that we can stay that one month without
any severe penalties. Otherwise we'll take all of the interior walls partitions and
everything with us when we move.
Corrie: Discussion, Council?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Well that's a quiet Council, okay I'll entertain a motion then.
Bird: Mr. Mayor, I move that we join into this billing lease with William A. Hahn
and for the Mayor to sign and the Clerk to attest.
Corrie: Okay do I hear a second?
De Weerd: Second.
Corrie: Motion been made and seconded to accept the commercial lease and
(inaudible) from William A. Hahn for the Mayor to sign and the Clerk to attest for
the contract. Further discussion?
Bird: Mr. Mayor, one thing to point out people we do have a fund out clause and
they have agreed to it. It's all legal; Mr. Nichols made sure of that.
Corrie: Any further discussion? All those in favor say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
Smith: Mr. Mayor, I might also add on this issue, we did investigate four different
buildings in the City of Meridian. The costs were very similar, there was very little
difference. The space where we are located right now we did, for Tim's benefit,
we did get - we had a good price on that facility, square footage wise, dollars per
square foot. This move allows us to get our departments together, Planning and
Zoning, building and engineering together on the same floor. I think we'll have
better ability to communicate and I think that was the big incentive was to give us
a little room to grow to.
Meridian City Council Meeting (
December 19, 2000

(
Corrie: We're getting pretty good size.
Smith: Thank you.
Corrie: Thank you.
Smith: The last item I have is a Change Order request. Change Order No.4
from Turnkey Construction for the Digester Project. I can run through the memo
that Brad put together if you would like.
Corrie: Is the Change Order, Gary, basically just a request for an extension of
time?
Smith: There's an increase of $18,092.22. The items - they did ask for an
increase in time but we're not recommending that at this time. The items for the
contract, the $18,092.22 are at the tail end of the packet material that you have
with an explanation of what each item involved. There are 12 items I believe to
make up - some of them are - well I think the maximum item was $5694 which
was a waste gas burner addition.
Corrie: Would there be that 56 days addition or not?
Smith: Not at this time, no. There's no recommendation for extension on the
contract time. I don't know whether this - I don't think that - there will be some
additional time approved ultimately but not anywhere near the 56 days. I guess
Brad's comment was that there maybe a few days that are justified but not
anywhere near the 56 days. We'll be in a wrestling match with the contractor as
this project winds up on a time extension. Right now the request is for approval
of these work items, dollar amounts.
Corrie: Any questions?
Bird: I have none. Mr. Mayor, I would make a motion that we accept Change
Order No.4 with Turnkey Construction for the amount of $18,092.22 and that no
added days to the contract be allowed.
Corrie: Motion made and seconded to that increase of $18,092.22 and no
increase in days Change Order. Any further discussion? All those in favor of the
motion say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
Corrie: You heard we did include the discussion on the financing on the Police
building and from the attorney on the certificate of participation, leasing finance,
and addition confirmation proceeding. Are there any further questions before we
Meridian City Council Meeting (
December 19,2000

financing the documents and proceed. Everybody understand?
Bird: You want a motion?
Corrie: If everybody understands what it is and I think we do so yes, I'll entertain
a motion for the -
Bird: Mr. Mayor, I would move that we instruct the Mayor and attorney to go
forward with getting our judicial review, started with First Security Bank and Mr.
Skinner financing 3.5 million dollars for the Meridian Police Department's new
building.
De Weerd: Second.

proceed with the judicial confirmation proceedings and with the other part of the
motion. Any further discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor of the motion

Meridian City Pre-Council Meetina
December 5. 2000
The Meridian City Pre-Council meeting was called to order on Tuesday,
December 5, 2000, at 6:30 p.m. by Mayor Robert D. Corrie.
Members Present: Robert Corrie, Cherie McCandless, Ron Anderson, Tammy
de Weerd, Keith Bird
Others Present: Shari Stiles, Gary Smith, Bill Gordon, Bill Nichols, Will Berg
Corrie: Okay, I'll open the Pre-Council meeting at Meridian City Hall, 33 East
Idaho Avenue, Tuesday, December 5th. Let the record show that all the
Councilpersons are in attendance. First off, we'll have discussion with Pat
Nelson from ACHD regarding the Commuter Ride program. Pat.
Nelson: Thank you, Mayor Corrie, Councilmen, my name's Pat Nelson; I work
for Ada County Highway District, the Commuter Ride Coordinator. I'm here
tonight along with our contractor, Terry Lindenburgh from Treasure Valley Transit
to report to you on the progress of our Treasure Valley metro system. live
handed out a shiny black folder that has the information in it. Just to give you a
little bit of background, as you recall we- put a website poll together and tried to
find out what would be the most successful commuter ride coming into Boise or
to Micron. Meridian citizens voted the most for services that start from Meridian
into Downtown Boise. Our commute shuttle started in June. The mid-day shuttle
that Treasure Valley Transit started was a little bit more successful than we were
in getting started. They started their operation in April with five buses per day.
Originally it started out to be four. Terry saw the need and got enough people to
call her office; that she boosted that up to five hours per day providing hourly
service both from Canyon County to Meridian and Meridian into Downtown
Boise. There is a sheet on the right side that indicates what the funding
breakdown was for those commuter shuttles. We did start an advertising
campaign to start boosting the ridership right away; right now it looks like we
have about 42 riders per day that are taking just the commuter side of the shuttle.
You have to keep in mind that these buses that are 16- or 18-passenger buses,
and the ridership numbers are in there for you. In November, there were four or
five of the morning routes, and I think three or four of the afternoon routes that
were at capacity or above. On several days we've had 22 passengers riding on
one bus. We're to the point right now where we want to know your feelings on
whether we should continue this operation. We have an opportunity to go back
into Idaho Transportation Department and ask for grant funding for the Year
2002. They do have a bit more money that's available. We've tried this last year
and were turned down on our application because we didn't have the air-quality
benefits that they thought we should have to justify funding it. We think with the
current ridership numbers, the number of people that are trying to ride and are
not able to ride because of a capacity problem that we might have a better shot
(
Meridian City Pre-Council Meetir\~
December 5,2000
Page 2
this year at getting a 2002 funding. It would require about $17,000 worth of
match in our first application. Meridian had indicated that they were interested in
providing that match to us to match the CMAQ federal dollar. That would be,
again, what we would be asking for to go back into another grant cycle to keep
the commuter cycle operational. We do have some plans to go out with a survey
to the ridership. There is a copy of that in the packet, also. To find out - if we
tweaked the schedule just a bit, if we could probably move some of those
passengers to one of three buses rather than have them all crowd onto two.
We'll know the results of that survey probably within the next two weeks, and if
they agreed to it, we will tweak the schedule the 1 st of January and see what we
can have happen then. Survey. Don't have it?
Bird: Yes, we do.
Nelson: Did you get a copy of it or did you want it? Okay. We feel like the
ridership does really build up -- our first initial estimate was going to be 10
passengers per bus that we would be considering successful on, and so far it's -
we're right at that number right now. November we did have a little bit of
ridership decline, but part of that was due to the two days that we have holidays
in November, and the ridership was about half on both those days. That brought
the average down to nine passengers per trip. Right now the fares that we
gather on that are still a dollar per ride which is quite reasonable especially when
you consider the gas costs. We're gathering about 14 percent of the cost of the
vehicle, the operational costs, through those ridership fares. I think BUS is about
18 percent; 16 to 18 percent is above average for the fare recapture of the cost
vehicle. Do you have any questions so far?
Bird: Mr. Mayor, Pat, what do you figure the cost per mile of the bus is? Is it a
buck 25, a buck 50?
Nelson: Right now we're charged 73 dollars per trip. That includes the
deadhead, the mileage into Boise, and I would imagine the trip back. It's
probably 15 miles, maybe more than that. Twenty-five miles.
Bird: So we're looking at 25 miles, so we're looking at about three dollars a mile.
That's not bad.
Nelson: We had tried to find out a way that we could expand the capacity on
these buses or find some additional buses that were larger. When we first
started the program we didn't want the public perception of having the bus half
empty and didn't know how successful we would be, so we purposefully asked
for smaller buses. Now we've got a problem with getting all the bodies in that
small bus. Treasure Valley Transit - that is a nice problem. Still, if you get on a
bus and you have to ride to Boise going 60 miles an hour, if you're lucky that
morning, standing up is probably not a real good option. So we've got to look at
expanding the size of the vehicle. Treasure Valley Transit does not have -
f~
f

r
currently have any vehicles that are bigger than that. So we either have to find
away to get larger buses on it or put an additional route on possibly to take care
of those passengers that are being displaced because of capacity.
Bird: Pat, why couldn't if we had to put an additional one - this is only happening
on one or two routes as I understand it. Do they have a smaller bus that we
could have as a back-up bus?
Nelson: Terry, do you want to answer that? I'm sure it will cost.
Bird: I understand that, but if I'm paying a dollar - I hate to say that I don't think
it's safe to have people standing up going into Boise, and I don't like to see that.
By the same token, if you go to a 40- or 50-passenger bus, you've only got 22
people on it, then the public is going to start yelling or screaming that we're not
using their taxpayer dollar right.
Lindenburgh: At the present time, Treasure Valley Transit does not have enough
vehicles, or operating costs to implement additional buses, but that brings me to
another point. Pat had mentioned the CMAQ funding. That can also be asked
for capital equipment. One of my thoughts were regarding our mid-day shuttle,
and one thing -- another aspect of TVTS received numerous phone calls from
Meridian residents wanting a city route in Meridian comparable to what we have
in Nampa and Caldwell. What I propose is that TVT write the Congestive
Mitigation Air Quality Grant for two vehicles in 2002, and this would also require
match; for example, for $430,000 worth of equipment which would be a 24- plus
2-passenger vehicle. I am right in the process now of specing out such a vehicle,
for as Pat was talking about the commuter shuttle that right now TVT does. I am
hoping to find that information out and put these vehicles out -- to go out for bid in
April. If that is successful and these vehicles are larger, we would not have a 40-
passenger we would have a 26-passenger, which I ,think would be the next
logical step. What I propose is to have sponsorship by the City of Meridian to
write the grant. There is no guarantee that we may get it, but if we do the cost to
the City of Meridian would be $17,000 which is 7.34 percent of the actual grant.
TVT was successful in acquiring such a grant last year that enables us to get two
vehicles per year for Canyon County. So I think we stand a great chance since
we were successful before. So, for $17,000 your $230,000 worth of vehicle and
that would put a 12-hour Meridian City route into operation as well as expand the
mid-day, because we were talking about how it went from four hours to five
hours, but still it's a mid-day block. People are hesitant to ride, because they
can't go to the mall and spend more than two hours. Were an eight-hour route
gives more flexibility; not as much as 12 hours but it is a beginning. So, that's
what I am looking at. And for operational cost of those 20 hours per day that
would go to Meridian, you would be looking at a total $41 ,750 worth of operating
from the City of Meridian. Now this is in 2002, and TVT for the total operations
was talking about a $182,000. Of that $182,000 to actually operate it, $41 ,000
would come from Meridian so if you look at the $17,000 for the vehicles and the
(
\
Meridian City Pre-Council Meetiny
December 5,2000
Page 4
$41 ,000 of operating cost for two routes. You are under $60,000 dollars, and
you are accessing quite a bit of grant funds which would enable the service. So
that is what I am looking at.
Bird: So we would have $17,000 dollars plus another $24,750 dollars for
operations on the other bus; who on this grant has the ownership on this bus?
The 24 passengers, that if the City of Meridian is putting the $17,000 down, does
that revert to Treasure Valley?
Lindenburgh: Treasure Valley Transit.
Bird: It does, okay.
Lindenburgh: Unless you want it.
Bird: No, I am looking the legality, that's why I am looking at Bill over here, of us
giving $17,000 for a capital improvement that goes in someone else's name.
Nelson: Another option you might take a look at is all of us at some point or time
will be part of Via-Trans; it might be the first step in getting equipment for Via -
Trans that can be used in Meridian. The match still has to be provided, but the
legal owner might be Via-Trans. I don't want to take it away from Treasure
Valley Transit, but that might be more legal than have a Canyon County provider
own the equipment.
Bird: The thing I was thinking about was the liability, that if we purchase that and
it is in your name, but there is a major accident, the lawyers start suing how
much liable is the City going to be without being in our name? Is our insurance
underwriter going to pick that up for us, or are we going to be hanging out there
by ourselves?
Nelson: Well, from what I understand with the CMAQ grant that was for Canyon
County, it was in issue of sponsorship, basically. As a private non-profit even
though we are public transportation, and this will be changing, too,there is going
to be a lot of different things occurring when the census becomes official,
because right now we are a private non-profit. Once the census goes into effect,
we are going to have to go under a governmental body. Those are things that
we are going to be dealing with through Via-Trans on how those thing will come
about, and that will probably be in 2002 when these things all come into play.
Right now with TVT, Canyon County sponsored the grant, and in liability,
everything rest on TVT. We are heavily insured.
Bird: No, I am just bringing the legality of it. I think it is a great program. I think
$17,000 for a bus is very, very cheap and I have no problem with it , for two bus.
I don't want to stick City's neck out to get it chopped off.

Nelson: I think we are looking at two separate grants. One is for the buses, the
capital equipment. The other would be for purchase of service for the commuter
side.
Bird: But, that the cost of $34,000; $17,000 for the buses
Nelson: That would take care of your (inaudible). The mid-day. That does not
cover the commuter side. That's an additional fee.
Bird: That's what I was going to say. You want $17,000 and she wants $17,000
for the grant but another $24,750 for the operation. You take $17,000 out of
$41,750.
Nelson: The $17,000 was for the vehicle and then for the operational cost for
20 hours worth of service which would be including the new route, a 12-hour
service which we could implement. This is not necessary, it is always good to
have a back-up budget too. If we looked at the most service possible, adding a
twelve hour Meridian City route, and continuing and expanding the five-hour mid-
day to and eight hour, would be 20 hour service with a total operational cost to
the City of $41 ,750 so it's a total of not quite $58,750.
Bird: Okay, I am sorry misunderstood you. I thought we took the $17,000 out of
the $41,750 dollars. Instead we have to add up so its $58,750 to Treasure Valley
and $17,000 for Pat's grant. So we are looking at $75,750.
Corrie: Is it $17,500 or $17,OOO?
Nelson: It's about $17,000. It's 7.34 percent of the grant amount that we are
going for is $225,000. $200,000 for the commuter service and 25,000 for
marketing.
Corrie: So we are looking at $75,750 dollars or somewhere.
Bird: And what fiscal year is that for Pat? Is it for now?
Nelson: It is for 2002.
Bird: Okay, so it is something we would need to budget coming summer for this
next year.
Nelson: I think in your current budget I thought that we had talked about there
was money for the commuter shuttle in the approved budget that you are working
under right now. Is that correct?
Bird: Yes, there is.

Meridian City Pre-Council Meetiny

Nelson: We have been able to stretch the WYE funding to cover the shuttle up
through October, but after October 1 st we do not have anything for operations.
There is nothing there, and I would hate to see this die after it has been proven
successful.
Bird: I think you would get hung if you did.
Nelson: Via-Trans now has an Intern Director. We her, Kelly Fairless to try to
put together a CMAQ application for the next purchase of service through TVT or
any other contractor that we decided. That did include one more bus. So, we
would have five runs in the morning and five in the afternoon. It would still fall
under that $17,000 local match.
Bird: That is what I was going to ask you, on October 1, 2001, you would want
the $17,000 and that would cover us even without the WYE Grant.
Nelson: Right, it would be a CMAQ Grant, if we get it!
Bird: What if we do not get it? What do we do then, Pat? You do not start
something like this and get it built up and stop it.
Nelson: I know. I am open for suggestions because is we don't have the
CMAQ we have Surface Transportation Funds which are highway funds which
are very protected by the highway folks. I do not think you are going to get any
money there. We have Via-Trans which does not have a budget. They do not
have an income source. The only other place would be to go to the County and
to the cities involved to ask for contributions for it.
Bird: When will we know on this grant if we would be successful? When will you
apply for this grant?
Nelson: The applications have to be into COMPASS by January or February, but
it has to go to Via-Trans it has to go through, if we are the contract agency it
would have to go through my commissioners. So I would imagine we would have
to write in December have it approved to go on to Idaho Transportation
Department in January or February. We probably will not know for sure whether
it is even on the priorities list I don't imagine until May. So we are talking very
late in the year. Budget times are already pretty well into place.
Bird: That is what I am saying we are starting into budgets already and we need
to know which way we are going to jump.
Nelson: We talked about increasing the passenger cost. You do lose a lot of
people when you do that. In our vanpool business you can't raise the vanpools
past the cost of what you put in your gas tank, or people will not ride. This little
service has been so well received by people; the flexibility of getting on anyone
(

(
of those four shuttles in the morning and afternoon is invaluable. The mid-day
portion is a big hit with people because they can get back to their car if they want
to any time of the day.
Bird: And it is going to grow as we grow and we add the hours on and the buses
on. It is going to do nothing but grow. We need to have a Plan B in place.
De Weerd: So we have it through the end of 2002?
Nelson: We have it through October of 2001.
De Weerd: Oh, 2001.
Nelson: We have one year. Originally it had been scheduled to cut the WYE
funding the 1 st of October, but we did have some savings throughout other parts
of the project that we could put towards the Metro. It is going to be real tight. I
guess I am just after guidance on which direction you would like us to go. Is it
something that you would be interested in sponsoring the CMAQ application, if
we put that in, to continue it for one more year? We can apply for 2002; there is
no CMAQ openings for 2003, so we will be back to square one unless Via-Trans
has some kind of funding in place for 2003.
Corrie: I guess we are going to the legislature with it anyway.
Nelson: It would be nice if we could work faster, I guess, and get that in place a
little bit earlier, but it just takes time to get the legislature people prepared for
local option taxing, I guess. As far as Treasure Valley Transit's proposal, is that
something you would be interested in pursuing?
Bird: Yes, I would.
Nelson: Local service?
Bird: I would. Definitely. You bet. I think as we grow, a bus would really --within
the city.
Nelson: We have gotten some preliminary feedback from Jabil that they want the
Canyon-County-to-Jabil shuttle. We have got some interest there. Terry is
working on that to see if maybe she can make that connection with the current
system that we have. Our Park-and-Ride is pretty well on track for next spring
out by the Ford dealership. We hope to have that up and running. Poor little
Gem Street out here by the bowling alley is full to capacity. We were talking in
the office today about maybe renting that piece of property, if they are willing to,
to the south of Gem Street and maybe putting gravel or something in there so
that we can put some more cars in there, if that is possible, if Shari will let us do
that.

Bird: Does State still have that? Does States Investment still own that?
Nelson: Is that what it was? Okay. But we are real happy with the shuttle and
way it is operating. We could not ask for better service from TVT, and we would
just like your endorsement to move forward on it.
Corrie: Mr. Anderson, do you have anything?
Anderson: No, I think I got most of my questions answered. (inaudible)
Corrie: Any other questions?
Bird: I have none, Mayor.
Corrie: I guess the only thing you are asking is if we go with the sponsorship to
CMAQ funds and that would be --
Bird: All of these are for 2002 budget year, so that it is not affecting this year's
budget. I am for it.
Corrie: Tammy?
De Weerd: Yes.
Corrie: Mr. Anderson?
Anderson: I am for it, but I guess I am cautious because I am worried about the
City's ability to fund, and we are committing ourselves to a lot of things coming
up. So I guess I am just cautiously optimistic. I think it is a good program, and I
supported it initially, and I still do. We have very limited funding and we have to
do some things to increase our funding, and that is a big chunk to commit. It is a
good buy, no doubt, as you demonstrated, but I am just not sure about our ability
to fund.
Corrie: Cherie?
McCandless: I have to agree with Ron, I am very much in favor of it also, but we
will have to look at our funding.
Corrie: Okay, do you want to talk about it a little bit more before we give Pat a
decision of sponsorship for the CMAQ funds with the ACHD (inaudible)?
Nelson: I have to get the blessing from my commissioners to, to do this. It might
be through Via-Trans. We find out on the 14th. We are going to be asking the
(
Meridian City Pre-Council Meetfj 18
December 5,2000
Page 9
Chairman and Vice Chairman if that is something that they want to sponsor,
mean, they want to submit it as a public agency.
Corrie: So what is your timetable from us then?
Nelson: Probably within the next two weeks some kind of indication of whether
you would be interested keeping in mind that you folks could playa big part in
helping convince the legislature that we need this authority to raise funds. Not
just from Meridian citizens, but throughout the whole valley. Your citizens are
also Ada County citizens so maybe we should be talking to Ada County
Commissioners for contributions for this also.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor, I think it needs to be remembered, too, that this air-quality
suit that is in front of us needs to be a major part in this consideration, and
because of the steps that we are taking to address air-quality issues, road
funding will continue to be available. If we do not take it serious and do not
support some of these alternative transportation items that we have available to
us, we may be lessening or increasing the air-quality issues to a point were we
lose monies to build and improve roads. So it is kind of a Catch-22, and it might
be a small investment that in the long run is a huge one. So we also have to look
at the long-term ramifications of this, too.
Corrie: And to Pat, correct me if I am wrong. We made a commitment on this
lawsuit what we are reducing, and this will definitely help. Plus our landscaping
ordinance is going to give us some credits there, too. I agree that I think that we
need to take a close look, and we will get with you as soon as we will be back in
two weeks and give you a decision. I think it sounds pretty good right now, but
you never know. I will also talk to the Ada County Commissioners on this as
well.
DeWeerd: I think that it is an opportunity, Pat, to send a strong message to the
legislature that because of some of the policies that they have put on
municipalities with the three-percent cap and those sort of things there are really
tying the hands of local municipalities. We have some serious issues in funding
and keeping our services inline with the growth and being able to offer our
citizens what they need. That message, as far as Meridian goes, will be coming
out very strongly from our community. These kind of efforts are certainly things
we can start hanging our hats on and being big advocates for.
Corrie: Anything else?
Bird: I have nothing.
DeWeerd: Thank you, Pat, Terry.

(--
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: On the regular agenda, we had at the planning session Gary had brought
forward a deal regarding that agreement on the City of Meridian land swap with
the Lakes of Cherry Lane regarding the length of the tiling of the ditch. Is there
anything we can do, Mr. Nichols?
Nichols: Councilman Bird, Mayor, members of the Council, since it is on the
agendas and ordinance and I advice Steve Bradberry that this issue came up,
although not in great detail did I, but I think that it is appropriate to go ahead and
talk about it. The actual agreement itself has not yet been signed by the City. I
think that they may be here later and may be prepared to address the issue with
the Council in terms of value per value issues, or I also understand that Mr.
Campbell on behalf of Steiner Development may have made a subsequent
commitment with regard to additional tiling of the ditch, which if that is the case I
do not know if there is an issue there or not. I think you just take up the
ordinance and you just talk about the ordinance does not necessarily mean that
you have to immediately launch into the first reading, you can still talk about it.
The thing is that the public hearing has been closed, but I do not know that
necessarily means that you cannot take additional information from the staff, and
/ or the other party. It is not like a Planning and Zoning applications to where you
have to close the public hearing in order to have a record upon which you act. I
guess what I am telling you is I think there is some flexibility there to be able to
discuss the issue and take it up at the time, and as long as Steiner and / or their
representative is here to be able to do that you should be okay.
Item 3.
Sign Ordinance:
Nichols: Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council, also, I do not think the sign
ordinance is ready because we are waiting on some graphics to be able to plug

will be ready by then. I think that some outsourced work that we are waiting on
for the graphics.

property is not, I do not think it has been annexed yet, and there are a couple of
issues on the Development Agreement side that we may need to talk to the

issues are relatively straightforward I think. This one is not ready to go. We
have not even annexed the property yet.

Bird: Do we need to table that?
Nicholson: I would say it should be tabled and I think Shari would have may
issues with regard to the completeness of the final plat application. I guess I
would ask Shari to comment on that one.
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, we did request in our comments regarding the
final plat that they make some changes as they do not comply with the conditions
of approval of the preliminary plat. I would like to see those presented to the
Council prior to your taking action on it. As far as their comments, I can address
that, I believe the applicants representative will be here tonight.

Hartford subdivision should have been noticed as a public hearing for a variance,
and it was not. So, we will need to notice that and get it on the agenda for
January 2.

point.

Bird: Mr. Mayor, Shari, on Item 8, you are saying when do we need to table that
to? Till the 19th or do we need to take it to January 2nd?
Stiles: I believe we will get revised plats in this week so they should be able to
go by the 19th if they get their Development Agreement signed.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor, is that an issue the Development Agreement, as far as
signing It? Is it reasonable to assume that they will have it done in two weeks?
Stites: I do not know really what is remaining on it.
Nichols: Councilwoman DeWeerd, Mayor, Members of the Council, there are a
couple of issues on there with regard to the annexation of the outparcels that
(
Meridian City Pre-Council MeetiH;:;;
December 5, 2000
Page 14
were identified which were actually not owned by Langley Farms but owned by
the principals of Langley Farms. That is one issue. There is another issue
about, and this is what I have to talk to Shari about, the phase at which the park
site is supposed to be donated to the City. I think in the findings of fact that it
indications Phase IV, and I think they may have been thinking Phase I of Autumn
Fair No.2, I will have to look at Susan Wildwood's letter again and I want to show
that to you. Most of the things that they have asked for are not very critical with
regard to the deal. We do have this annexation issue on this out parcels, and
there are just a couple of issues there. One is there is a requested that they not
have to hook up to City water and sewer until the use of the property changes
and I know that that was an issue that was discussed at the Planning and Zoning
Commission level. Gary, Shari and I talked a little about that a bit this afternoon
because the owner of the property that was subject to this development
application is different than the owners of the out parcels.
Corrie: So are we going to have time to do that, Bill, on the 19th?
Nichols: I think so.
Corrie: Good. Thank you Shari. Janice.
Item 12.
Department Reports:
A. City Treasurer - Janice Smith:
Treasurer's Report:
Smith: Thank you Mayor and Council. For the Treasurers report this month we
are starting our new - It will be October on your expenditure report you received,
and your investment summary is also for the month of October. I will make this
brief because I know we have a lot here on the agenda. Just a quick overview of
the revenue for the General Fund: We took in $169,000, and we are spending
$787,00. We will be receiving proper tax money the first of the year, so right now
we are operating on our fund balance. Also, you'll make note that this report
does not show any correcting it or adjusting entries. We are right in the middle of
an audit; two days in. You will receive ending audit report in December for
October. At that time after the audit is complete, the carry-forwards on the
capital projects which we had the parks and the water and sewer will show up on
that, hopefully December report. If it is delayed I will let you know. When you go
into the second fund that we have is our Enterprise Fund. It looks a little better.
The Enterprise consist of the water and sewer brought in $794,000, and at this
point they are spending $372,000. They do have some big projects going in, a
big bulk of the money will be going out in June. Since we knew they were not
going to be spending a lot of money, the Investment Committee go together and
took $3,000,000 out of the checking account because -- $3,300,000 out of the
checking account because we knew we were not going to be using that money
(
Meridian City Pre-Council Meetir,~

until June. We gave that money to our Investment Committee -- our investment
brokers, and they invested it into some new CDs. They have gotten two new
banks, Idaho Banking Company from Eagle and Syringa Bank were fighting over
the money. So, our investment brokers put $2,570,000 into Idaho Banking and
interest to 7.25 percent and that is great for Enterprise. We are going to need
that in June. We also went with Syringa Bank and also Farmers Merchant Bank
over six-month and twelve-month maturities. They would only go up to 6.85
percent. That is why the majority went the Idaho Banking. Overall, the
investment brokers put in 5.25, we had some CD's come due, so they did some
good investing this last month. You will not see that probably until December
report on investment cash summary because we just did it today. Other than that
I did give you the wage report just tonight, and then we are working on our
procedures on our purchase order and we will keep you updated on how that is
going. So if you have any other questions? Thank you.
c. City Clerk - Will Berg:
1. Request by Jeff Manship to discuss Tremont Place
Subdivision Development Agreement:
Corrie: On your request with Jeff Manship, are they here? They're not?
Anything else from the Council at this point. Okay, when we open, we will have
the consent agenda done, and on the regular agenda we will have the Police
Department swearing-in ceremony right at the beginning of the regular agenda.
It looks good to see all that bodyguards out there. Okay, if I hear nothing further,
I move that we close the agenda items here at Pre-Council Meeting, and we will
come back into session at 7:30 p.m.
Bird: So moved.
Anderson: Second.
Corrie: Okay. Motion made and seconded to go out of Pre-Council Meeting and

Corrie: Also Items 6 and 7 have been requested to be tabled until the February
20 meeting that is on Linder Crossings by the Hawkins Company. February 20?
They had some things in there that I talked to them about and they said they

Meeting

Approve minutes of December 5, 2000, City Council Meeting
McCandless: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Yes, Mrs. McCandless.
McCandless: The minutes of December 5 Pre-Council meeting and also the City
Council meeting will have to be corrected. They have a temporary doing the
minutes, and they have Shari Stiles and myself mixed up. They have me making
a whole bunch of statements in there.
(inaudible discussion amongst Council members)
Corrie: Okay, we can certainly correct that.
McCandless: Do you want to know where that is?
Corrie: Okay. Which one?
McCandless: On the Pre-Council meeting, it is page 11 and 12 and on the
regular Council meeting it is page 21. Will said that we would have those
corrected.

Corrie: Yes, Mr. Nichols.
Nichols: Mr. Berg wishes to be recognized.
Berg: Mr. Mayor and members of the Council, if you would like, I could get those
corrected, and I could have those on the agenda for January 2; whichever way
you would prefer. If you would like to see a cleaned up, they are not very big
minutes.
McCandless: There are a lot of typos in there now.
Bird: Can we pass it with corrections? Is that okay with you Cherie?
McCandless: Sure.
Bird: How about you Mrs. Stiles?
Stiles: I guess if they want to go with grammatical misspellings then -
Corrie: Just put it out that whatever the Council -- if you want to approve it with
the corrections that they make, you can do that or you can have it corrected and
brought back. Which one did you want Mr. Berg? Do you want to see it done
that way or just crossed out and just put the right name in?
Berg: Mr. Mayor and members of the Council, I would like to see them presented
to you in a good fashion, and if there are some grammatical errors, I will make
sure that we get them corrected and double-checked. I do not like to hear that,
and we can do whichever we want. If there are a lot of grammatical errors, I
would like to go through that and correct them before you approve them so that it
is a nice clean copy for public record.
Corrie: Okay, we can pull those two out and deal with them next time.
(inaudible discussion amongst members)
Item 4.
FP 00-020 Final Plat approval of 47 building lots and 3 other lots

Nichols: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Yes, Mr. Nichols.

Page 4
Nichols: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, Item 4 which is the final plat on
Autumn Faire, today I worked out the last details on the development agreement
with the attorney for Autumn Faire and so a revised development agreement will
be prepared tomorrow. We need to annex the property before we can approve
the final plat, so if we put this off until January 2nd, we can have the Ordinance
for the annexation on January 2nd and can do the final plat with the Development
Agreement. Ms. Stiles may have some comments.
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, I just do not think January 2nd is going to be
enough time for them to bring in a revised plat and have us review it with the
short staff we are going to have the next two weeks.
Nichols: Excuse me, Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Nichols.
Nichols: Shari, were they revising that final plat?
Stiles: The final plat does not comply with Ordinance requirements, so we were
asking for a new plat.
Nichols: You worked that out with Mr. Stanfield at the last meeting?
Stiles: That is -- were our comments.
Nichols: We can put it on the agenda for the January 2nd meeting. If they have
not turned it in, and they do not have it done we can at least take care of the
annexation ordinance and defer the final plat.
Corrie: Any other questions? Mr. Bird?
Item 3.
Sign Ordinance
McCandless: We were waiting for graphics or something.
Bird: I was going to say nothing has been changed.
Corrie: Has any of the graphics come in on the Sign Ordinance yet?
Stiles: No we did get a bid for that though just this week, and they are going to
have those completed by January 18th.
Corrie: So we do not need to have the Ordinance yet?
Bird: I don't know how you can.
Meridian City Pre-Council M~

Page 5
Corrie: I don't know how you can without the - okay we are going to table it until
the - if we keep going, Frank, you can go home early tonight.
Bird: We can all go home early.
Corrie: So what time, Shari? Do you want to table, too?
Stiles: January 18th.
Corrie: January 18th?
Bird: That's not on a Tuesday. January 16?
Corrie: That's the third Tuesday? Is that correct?
Bird: If they're not going to have it ready until January 18 -
Stiles: No, it was the second meeting - well, now the third meeting.
Corrie: Is there anyone around that has pull with these little things that can call,
or will call and see if they will bring us a (inaudible) on tap? We are running out
of - what is that deed? The second or the third Tuesday is what, January 16?
We have been asked to table everything but about three items, I think that is
going to be pretty good.
Item E.
Beer and Wine License Transfer: Corona Village from 39 East
Fairview Avenue to 21 East Fairview Avenue
Item F.
Beer, Wine and/or Liquor Renewals for 2001
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: On the Consent Agenda, does the Chief have any problems with
Item E or Item F for the Beer and Wine License transfer and renewals?
Gordon: Mayor and Council, no. Nor do I have any problems with Corona
Village moving. They are just moving to a larger space just to the west over
there.
Corrie: Anything else?
Item B.
City Attorney - Bill Nichols:
1. Financing of Police Station
Meridian City Pre-Council M~
December 19, 2000
Page 6
Nichols: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Yes, Mr. Nichols.
Nichols: Under Department Reports could we insert under there a discussion of
the financing for the police building? You should have a memo on the steps of
the judicial confirmation process, or we can talk about that some.
Corrie: Also, there was a question about the irrigation ditch. There we might
discuss that a little bit also and attorney fees. We have that there is an irrigation
ditch that runs through the police - whether you want to tile it or leave it open? If
they want to leave it open they will have to take a waiver. Then Richard Skinner
there is also his bill. I need to find out which budget you want that to come out
of.
(inaudible discussion amongst members)
Corrie: Anything else?
Item D.
Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law: VAR 00-021
Request for a variance to place a 23'-3" by 10' internally
illuminated electric pylon sign in an undeveloped part of the
industrial technical park by DBSI Industrial - NWC of Stoddard
and Overland Roads
Stiles: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Shari.
Stiles: This is a minor Item D on the Consent Agenda. The variance was for the
off-premise sign: it is pretty specific about a 23-foot, 3-inch, but they have now
requested a 3D-foot sign which would still comply our new Sign Ordinance if the
off-premise sign was what the variance was for, not anything to do with the actual
dimensions of the sign.
Nichols: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Nichols.
Nichols: Shari, did we get the item wrong, or did they just change their mind on
the size of the sign between when they submitted their initial application and
now?
Meridian City Pre-Council M~'
December 19, 2000 '
Page 7
Stiles: They changed their mind on how big they wanted it because they are only
allowed one center sign per the proposed Sign Ordinance, so they wanted to go
from 23-feet to 3D-feet which is still in accordance with the new Sign Ordinance.
Nichols: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Nichols.
Nichols: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, I would simply recommend that you
adopt these findings as they are presented and Ms. Stiles can - if the variance is
for the off-premise sign and so the actual height is going to be in compliance with
the proposed Sign Ordinance, I do not see any problems with just going ahead
and allowing her to issue the approval.
Item 5.
AZ 00-006 Request for annexation and zoning of 12.73 acres from
RT to L-Q and R-15 zones by Vicki Welker / Gold River
Companies, Inc., for proposed Valeri Heights Subdivision at the
northeast corner of W. Pine Avenue and N. Ten Mile Road
Stiles: Did you say that you still do not have that Development Agreement on
Valerie Heights?
Bird: I understand that we have it. I saw it in here, and I saw it signed by them.
Stiles: You did see it signed?
Bird: Yes, right in front there. It is signed by somebody - Vicki Welker, and it
was attested by Valerie Kaleen secretary and the owner David Fuller and Shirley
Fuller, and this was done on December 5th under a Notary. Is this the one we
are looking at?
Item 11.
RZ-OO-007 Request for Rezone of 6.95 acres from L-Q to C-G for
the proposed Mallane Commercial Complex by The Land Group,
Inc. - northwest corner of Fairview Avenue and North Hickory Way
Stiles: I was just curious. Under Item 11 under the Regular Agenda, did you
note that the applicant request withdraw of that application?
Bird: Yes.
Stiles: Gary had some things.
Corrie: Gary.
Smith: Mr. Mayor, Council members, I just wanted to make sure that this
cooperative agreement between ACHD and ITD and the City of Meridian is on

the agenda for the second meeting in January to discuss for that Locust Grove
Road Overpass project. That is alii had. Thank you.
Berg: I had that item put down for the workshop on the second meeting in
January. I can change it, but that is how I had my notes for the workshop, which
was January 9th. Is that correct?
Item B.
City Attorney - Bill Nichols:
1 .
Financing of Police Station:
Corrie: I guess if you want, Bill, do you want to discuss that program?
Nichols: Certainly, Mr. Mayor, if I may. I can pass out to the Mayor and
members of Council a memo. Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, in exploring
the options available to finance the new police building one of the things that has
come up is since the City owns the acreage where the police building is designed
to go, some of the alternative financing options are very difficult to do and still
obtain a good interest rate. We have had some meetings with Rick Skinner who
is a special bond counsel retained by the City, representative of First Security
Bank and their government financing department and City Officials with regard to
how we might be able to best finance this and obtain the best interest rate and so
forth. In some discussion we have had - if you recall we have had a meeting
with Mr. Skinner some months ago, options were explored, but what it comes
down to is it looks now like the option of pursuing a Petition for Judicial
Conformation offers the best interest rate and the cleanest way of getting this
project financed. The purpose of the memo that you have before you is to outline
what those steps are and what kind of time line you are looking at as far as
getting in front of a judge on a judicial conformation. I understand Garden City
received judicial conformation with regard to their - I believe it was a police
station and the showing that has to be made is that you have such a need for the
facility that it is an ordinary and necessary expense which allows you to go to a
multi-year financing. This then will allow you to use your interest from your
general funds investments to make those payments on these Certificates of
Participation and finance this construction of this police station. It is a process
you can see that it is probably going to take I think it is about 59 days from start
to finish if everything goes click, click, click. If we are going to do this, we need to
get the process started, and it starts with the proposed Financing Lease and
Trust Agreement and financing documents are prepare and so forth because
they have to accompany the Petition for Judicial Conformation. Then we would
proceed with filing the Petition for Judicial Conformation scheduling the request
hearing for the City Council - excuse me we have the hearing first then we have
the petition get the actual court hearing scheduled and go from there. There is
another option, which is to create an Urban Renewal District within the City, and
then there are some things that can be done that way but it is not necessarily
really much quicker to do it that way by using the judicial-conformation process,
Meridian City Pre-Council M~'
December 19,2000
Page 9
(
assuming a favorable decision by the lower court judge we will receive a better
interest rate.
Corrie: Any questions?
Bird: Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: If I may, I would like to (inaudible) if we go through the judicial review the
5.038 percent or less would be your interest?
Anderson: As compared if we did not do it?
Bird: If we went the other way, Ron, it is going to be - we do not know what the
(inaudible) will be but it could be up here higher in the 5.75 percent to 5.70
percent.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: I do not think there is a question that we can show the need. Maybe
the Police Department can get a copy of what Garden City used and at least then
we would have the template to adjust it to our own circumstance.
Nichols: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Nichols:
Nichols: Mr. Mayor, Councilwoman de Weerd and members of the Council, Rick
Skinner was involved in the Garden City financing and you build your case with
all due difference to the expanding of their skills. This is the lawyer's prerogative
to build the case by establishing the evidence to show the need. Including the
situation in the current police station the priors - the facility study that you had
done that estimated the space needs to project out through the year 2020 all of
those things factor into how you establish to a judge that this is an ordinary and
necessary expense which then allows you to do a multi-year financing. We are
well aware of the Garden City situation. Our particular office has had a more
than one judicial conformation. We received approval for the Nampa Recreation
Center and some other things which are very necessary but probably not near as
necessary as a police station. We are talking about public safety. You are
looking at the very small building that you have now, the size of the police force,
and with all of those factors we can get it done. Eric Rossman in particular has
done at least two or three of these and we are hiring a new lawyer that will come
on board next month that has had some experience with these things to. When I
Meridian City Pre-Council M{

say "we," I mean the firm. We are not unaware of the need to put together a
good case to show why it is necessary. Mr. Skinner has done these allover the
state and he understands what is necessary to get it done.
Bird: First Security has been involved in this?
Nichols: Yes.
De Weerd: Mr. Nichols, can that be done in a short timeframe?
Nichols: While we are talking about, Councilwoman de Weerd, is to have the first
step is to tell the bank "yes/' this is the way we are going to go. Then they put
together the Lease Trust Agreement and related financing documents so that we
can then have those and then have a public hearing on it. Th(3 statue requires
that the public hearing has to be noticed at least 15 days before the hearing.
You hold a specific hearing, you take testimony, then 14 days after that hearing
is the soonest you had adopt a resolution to authorize the filing. Then you file the
petition you have to publish notice and so forth you cannot have a hearing on
that petition any sooner than 30 days after you have filed it. Then after the
decision is made there is a 42-day appeal period that has to pass before so that
there is no chance of somebody appealing the judge's decision and at that point
you are good to go.
De Weerd: You started working on this yesterday?
Nichols: The bank has to put together the documents first.
Corrie: We have to approve it tonight at the end.
Nichols: I am convinced that if you say yes during your regular meeting that Bud
Way and the others at Wells Fargo will be please to put the stuff together in a
hurry.
Corrie: Any other questions? Then we will have it come up on the last thing of
the agenda.
Bird: Mayor, may I have the City Clerk in between sessions make a copy of
these?
Corrie: Yes. Will you make about six of them? Keith said he would be able to
go tomorrow night to that ACHD meeting on Maple Grove. I sent a letter I think
all of you received a copy of it. Would anyone else like to go down there? I have
another place I have to go, but I have already talked to all four - the
Commissioners I guess there are five of them and I think they are in agreement
with us. If you want to go down there at 7:00 p.m. it is at the ACHD auditorium. I
said we would probably get at least the President of the Council to go down, they
Meridian City Pre-Council M(
December 19, 2000 '
Page 11
have everything ready to go anyway. It will just kind of reiterate what was said in
the letter. Anything else? Staff anything? With that we will just take a recess
and then we will come back and go out of the pre-council into the regular meeting
then.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: I move that we close the Pre-Council meeting.
Bird: Second.
Corrie: Motion made and seconded to close the Pre-Council meeting at 7:00
p.m. All those in favor say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
MEETING ADJOURNED AT 7:00 P.M.
