Julv 5. 2000
The Pre-Council meeting of the Meridian City Council was called to order at 6:35
p.m. on Tuesday, July 5, 2000, by Council President Keith Bird.
Members present Keith Bird, Cherie McCandless, Ron Anderson, Tammy
deWeerd.
Members absent: Mayor Robert D. Corrie.
Others present: Bill Nichols, Shari Stiles, Bill Gordon, Ken Bowers, Will Berg.
Bird: 1'(1 open the Pre-Council meeting on July 5, 2000, at 6:35 p.m. We will
discuss agenda items and department reports which are on the scheduled City
Council meeting. Okay. Mr. Smith called and had an emergency come up and
will not make it tonight. We'll go from there. Council, have you seen the
agenda? Let's start with the department heads. Any of the Consent Agenda, Mr.
Clerk -
Item 1 o.
Tabled from June 6, 2000: CUP 00-013 Request for Conditional
Use Permit for proposed modifications to include an additional pole
sign for Chevron/McDonalds in a C-G zone - 603 South Eagle
Road:
Berg: Mr. PresidentJ members of the Council, just an item for notation. On
Consent Agenda Item D, that needs to be moved to the regular agenda Item 10,
and that shows on the revised agenda. Also-
McCandless: Move to Agenda Item 1 O?
Berg: If you look on your new, revised agenda, it places it as Item No. 10. It
placed it there because we needed to have it on the regular agenda. Also, on
the Consent Agenda for what you had originally looked at, the minutes to the
previous meetings were added to the Consent Agenda. Also an addendum to
the Development Agreement, Item S, was added to the Consent. It's amending a
section to the Development Agreement for Overland Storage. Also, what was
added to your agenda was Department Reports from Mayor Corrie.
Bird: All the Development Agreements and everything that's necessary are in
our hands?
Item M.
Development Agreement: AZ 99-014 Request for annexation
and zoning of 4.34 acres from RT to CG by Sonntag Eye
Associates or assigns - Lot 15 of Magic View Subdivision:

Berg: On Item L, Development Agreement for Sonntag Eye Associates, we have
that signed agreement and also for Item S, the Amendment, the Addendum for
the Development Agreement for Overland Storage is also signed.
(
Item N.
Ada County Development Services: Preliminary Plat for
Edinburgh Subdivision 53 lots and 5 other lots on 17.76 acres by
Steve Smith:
McCandless: Mr. President, for Item N, we need to move that to the regular
agenda.
Bird: Okay. We'll move that one to Item 1 on the regular agenda. Meet your
approval, Council?
deWeerd: Mr. President, I would like to move Item F to the regular agenda.
Bird: That'll go under 1 B.
Berg: Mr. President, and members of the Council, Item F also has a preliminary
plat that needs to go with it. There was a little misunderstanding with a memo
that came from the attorney's office, and so that - those findings for the
preliminary plat as well as the annexation and zoning needs to be approved by
the Council. My suggestion is if youJre going to move Item F, make a spot for F1
or something of that nature that deals with the preliminary plat.
Bird: Okay, we'll make Item F 1 Band 1 C will be Item F1.
Berg: Is that correct, Mr. Attorney?
Nichols: Yes, President Bird, members of the Council, sort of for future
reference, we can keep these things square when we move them, the regular
agenda, just keep the same letter. That's like 1 F, 1 N even though it's kind of
lacking, but at least it keeps it continuous for the Consent Agenda, and for the
future you might consider that. On this particular one, on Autumn Faire, we did
receive a request for reconsideration from an attorney for the developer /
applicant. That should be in your packets, a detailed letter from Susan
Wildwood, and that's why it needs to be pulled. So if you decide to reconsider,
you have a place to do it.
Item A.
Tabled June 20, 2000: Findings of Fact and Conclusions of
Law: CUP 99-039: Request for conditional use permit for planned
unit development including continuing care retirement community,
single-and multi-family residential and office and retail use by
Touchmark Living Centers - Joseph A. Billig - east of 8t. Luke's
between Franklin Road and Insterstate 84:

deWeerd: Mr. President, Mr. Clerk, did we have all the necessary papers from
Touchmark which is Item A?
(
Berg: Councilwoman deWeerd, members of the Council, we have not received
the signed development agreement, and that's what is holding that up.
Bird: We need to table that one, then?
deWeerd: It seems that we requested at a prior meeting, and since I haven't
read my minutes yet, I don't know when, but that we ask when specifically we
should expect this so that we don't see it every time we have a meeting.
Bird: Was that on that one, Tammy? I thought it was on another one. Let me
look real fast.
deWeerd: If they didn't, may I make that suggestion? If they're not going to do
something for a number of months, I really - it just doesn't make a whole lot of
sense that every meeting we have to table this.
Bird: I agree, Councilwoman deWeerd. The situation in the past was that we'd
approve annexation and zoning Findings and wait for Development Agreements
before approving the Ordinance and the CUP Findings. Of course, we don't
have a Development Agreement to put on the agenda nor the Ordinance, but yet,
the Findings for the CUP comes on the agenda with the Findings for the
annexation and zoning. That we try to hold those things back to keep them in
order. I've contacted, not myself, but my office, the representative for Touchmark
and they say that they're trying to get the correct people to sign it. I have not
heard anything about not liking what's on the Development Agreement. Maybe
the City Attorney can confirm that. All I've understood is getting the right people
to sign. We have tried to follow that up, but I know this is a continuous table
because we don't know when for sure we'll get that document in our office and
get it put on the agenda, but because it's on the agenda, we keep getting it
tabled. Parliamentary procedure, and that we can do some other thing and just -
deWeerd: We've had this since April, and so I would not like to see it again until
it's signed. Can we do that?
Bird: Mr. Attorney?
Nichols: President Bird, members of the Council, when I last talked to Steve
Bradbury, the attorney for Touchmark, he and I think I talked to him the day of
the Council meeting a couple months ago, and they were scrambling to get
signatures. I don't know what's happened with it. I can follow up on that. It
might be appropriate to simply table this to a meeting in August unless we get the
Development Agreement back sooner, and Mr. Berg can put it on a sooner
agenda and proceed.

Bird: You think we need to table it, though? We don't just want to take it and pull
it off?
Nichols: Well, it's easy - we've had a few of these things come up in the last six
months or so where we've had Development Agreements that were supposed to
be done maybe several years before. They didn't, for whatever reason three or
four years ago, they didn't get done, and all of a sudden somebody's saying we
need to have one now. This is a way of keeping it on our plate so that we don't
forget about it. I don't know that it's the best way to do that. You can - if you'll
do this, table to the next meeting, I'll personally call Steve Bradbury tomorrow
and ask him where it is.
Bird: All right with you, Councilwoman deWeerd?
deWeerd: Yes, and I appreciate all your help.
Bird: Any other things before we go to Shari and see if she's got anything that
we need to look at on any of these?
deWeerd: Mr. President, you may notice I don't know if I'm - if I got up on the
wrong side of the bed this morning, but it's - when we don't get our minutes, it's
very difficult reading these Findings and seeing that everything that we had
mentioned or that was discussed is in it because I don't keep my packet of
material, so I don't know how the rest of you read these and make sure they're
accurate, but without the minutes, it's very difficult for me to know that
everything's in here or not. I know that our City Attorney takes very good notes,
but he doesn't have the minutes either.
Bird: Tammy, we just had a talk with the City Clerk's office this afternoon. My
personal opinion is that we don't have the minutes to read by the Friday before
the Council meeting, we won't have a Council meeting. That means that we
need to hire a new person. Hire another person. We realize that the Clerk's
office is running shorthanded, but we need - we as Council last year said no new
hires, but this is a case where the Clerk's office, by State Statute, is given
charges to do and stuff, and this is one of them. They all work hard in there;
they're just shorthanded. I think we need to get somebody. I agree with you. I
don't like going to the Council meeting without having the stuff, and I will say
again like I've said before, and I plan on the staff of Public Works to tell them that
if the developers or them can't get their Findings and stuff back to us by Friday,
don't be telling that they're not going to be on the agenda for Tuesday.
deWeerd: I just don't know - we continue to approve these Findings, and I, for
one, don't feel comfortable doing this meeting after meeting.

Bird: I don't like getting the submittals back from the applicant or from our staff
the Tuesday the day of the meeting; come in at 6:30 and pick them up. I'm not a
fast enough reader and we don't have time to do it. I think we just need to set
the deal down, and I think we need to see that the Clerk within a month has a
person on board that does nothing but type minutes.
(
deWeerd: That sounds like a fun job.
Berg: Mr. President, members of the Council, just in that regard, it is very tough
to get the minutes typed out when we have minutes of meetings that last very
long into the night. The goal was to get the minutes done and as soon as they
are typed to get them in your boxes so that you have sufficient time to read them.
We will reapply that. I do have another new person coming into the office, and
she will be trained, but we will try our best to get that completed and into your
boxes. I don't mean Friday before your Council meeting; I mean when they're
complete so that you can have more than just the regular packet time to read
your minutes.
Bird: Thank you, Will. Shari, you have anything here that could jump up and bite
us?
Item J.
Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law: CUP 00-024 Requst
for conditional use permit by James L. Aimonettofor a temporary
office trailer currently in an I-L zone - 2204 Lanark:
Stiles: Mr. President and Council, I haven't completely read through all of these
items either, but most of the request for changes I had would come up either
under the regular agenda. I was noticing on this James Aimonetto that it seems
that there was some discussion about the bid, and the letter of credit - didn't
something come up about a letter of credit or cash for the tiling of that Evans
Drain? Didn't we discuss that?
Bird: What did we decide?
Stiles: It seems like you were - well, that's what I don't know. Maybe it's in the
Findings. Didn't you bring that up? Weren't you talking about that at the meeting
that they had some problem about the letter of credit or the cash?
Bird: Are you talking to me, Shari?
Stiles: Yes.
Bird: I recall something, but I can't remember if we decided to stay with the
letter of credit or cash or bond or what. Which Item was that, Shari?
Stiles: It's Item No. J.

Bird: This is for that temporary office trailer.
Nichols: Mr. President, members of the Council, it's addressed at Items 1.4 in
the Findings under the Decision and Order which is on Page 11. It seemed to
me that the discussion was something to the effect that the other parcels that had
been built on in that area had not been required to tile that particular ditch
because it was a natural drainJ not just an irrigation drainJ and so whether or not
it would have to be tiled, this doesn't - that's why it was submit a letter of credit in
the bid, and then determine later whether or not it actually has to be tiled
because that had to do with Nampa Meridian or the Bureau of Reclamation or
somebody with regard to the -
Bird: I think that's the same drain that goes right behind R. C. Willey's. I was
under the understanding that -
(inaudible discussion amongst Council members)
Bird: Right across the street. Runs right down there.
Stiles: I - without the minutes, I have no idea what the motion was.
Berg: Mr. President, members of the Council, the concern I have is we really
need to decide what we're going to do with the Evans Drain for the simple fact
that the letters of credit eventually start running out and I have to get them
renewed. The example is R.C. Willey is coming up in September, I believe. It's
a good way to hold on to it until you make a decision, but somewhere we need to
make a decision if it's going to be tiled or if it's not because the letters of credit
just are held for year after year after year and the company gets tired of renewing
them. Plus, that's a lot of money to be holding out there for maybe if or maybe
not.
Anderson: That would be a project that probably our Public Works is going to do
a little bit of research on and get with us on -
Bird: And that's what I thought Gary was going to do. I thought that's what the -
I thought that a year ago (inaudible) from the Bureau that said not to tile that
ditch. We could cover it with concrete but leave the bottom open. Just cover it
across the top.
Anderson: I vaguely remember something like that because it percolated back
up; ground was percolating back up.
Bird: We will get Gary to make a deal on that, but as it stands now, just pass it
like this if it's okay. That okay?

Stiles: That's fine. I just - seems like something came up that he wanted to be
bonded instead. I just don't remember.
Bird: The same problem with a bond.
Stiles: The other items I can bring up during my presentations before the
various items on the regular agenda.
Bird: Gary isn't here, nor will he be here, so we can't do his reports. Unless
Council's got any questions on any of the waterline improvements and stuff that
Gary had set in here, we will enact upon them. One's a bid and - On the
appointments, I've got some appointments from the Mayor regarding one seat on
the Parks and Recreation Commission, and he'd also like to appoint the ex officio
from the school board which we can discuss at that point. I think you all got a
copy of the recommendations that he had submitted. Also, Council, the joint
meeting of the ACHD commissioners and us has been cancelled. It was
scheduled for tomorrow at noon. They called and asked that we - if we'd like to
try to reschedule another meeting. What's your pleasure, Council?
deWeerd: Yes.
Bird: One hot issue is a five-year report on Boise's income and output that was
asked for two months ago. City of Boise - don't need Meridian. I want to know
what they brought in and what they spent over there. Nice on checks that we get
them monthly, and we get an overlay for our project one year. (inaudible)
deWeerd: Mr. President, also we need an update on the projects that were
identified in Mayor Corrie's March memo that was addressing the Traffic Safety
Committee recommendations.
Bird: That has been given and I will tell you that we got stuck back on that.
deWeerd: And an update on the Locust Grove overpass. I understand they're
having a public hearing on the five-year plan. I guess I'd like to have an
understanding of it. That five-year plan, then, is for next year or for the one we
got earlier this spring? When that public hearing is?
Bird: Councilwoman deWeerd, what date would you like the City Clerk to set that
up for if we can? Noon on the 20th?
(inaudible discussion amongst the Council members)
Bird: Is it the consensus of the Council to have a meeting with them this month?
deWeerd: Yes. I won't be here on the 17th.

Nichols: Item 1A on Edinburg Place, the attorney for the applicant, JoAnn Butler
had another Ada County meeting this evening and she asked that if this came up
on the regular agenda that it be moved to the end so that she would have an
opportunity to be here when it's brought up. So even though it's 1A, I guess what
I'm asking is her request would be to defer, I believe, until she's here for that.
Bird: Okay. Move it to Item No. 10B.
Nichols: You can just simply defer action on it at - I mean the applicant is here
as well, but I believe that was her request on a voicemail I received this
afternoon. Would that be okay? You'd rather have it early.

Bird: Okay. We will strike that. Council will go with 1A, which is Item N from the
Consent Agenda. That's the Ada County Development Services Preliminary Plat
for Edinburg Subdivision, 53 lots and 5 other lots on 17.76 acres by Steve Smith
one half mile east of Eagle Road on McMillan Road. Discussion.
Anderson: Mr. President.
Bird: Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: Could you maybe have staff give us a report about - refresh us about
the project and where we're at on it.
Bird: Shari.
Stiles: Yeah.
Anderson: City Attorney could probably do that.
Bird. City Attorney.
Nichols: President Bird. Members of the Council, we received a letter from
Joann Butler, attorney for the applicant, who's asked for some changes in the
proposed findings of facts and conclusions. Those changes were summarized in
a letter dated July 3, 2000, and I don't know if the Council has received that in
their packet or not. The requested changes are essentially three. The first has
to do with the agreement to contribute parked impact fees. As worded, the
findings require the payment of the park impact fees. The requested change
from the applicant is that it reflect that they voluntarily agreed to contribute the
impact fees to the city for this subdivision. The second one has to do with
Condition of Approval 2.10 which has to do with a 10 percent open-space
requirement. The motion as I recall was that the Council moved to approve this
subject to the applicant working with staff to try to achieve 10 percent open
space in future aspects of this development at such time as they develop in the
future. We received a letter from the applicant's attorney indicating that the 10
percent open space requirement did not apply because this is not a Planned Unit
Development and secondly the 10 percent open space was not required for
Vienna Woods which is the adjoining property. So they're asking that Condition
2.10 be deleted. The third item has to do with the future impact fees and I
believe this went toward trunk fees for both water and sewer and I believe it's
Condition 2.11 - which states the system development charge will facilitate future
construction of trunks, sewer and water lines. This development is a candidate
for payment of this fee as it is developed. Preliminary calculations show the, fee
to be $750 per lot for sewer and $520 per lot for water. The applicant is asking
that that be deleted because there is no current provision in the code for such
assessments although it's under study and was disclosed to the applicant as a
possible future cost. I would also like to point out to the council then in a
f.
(" -
I
Meridian City Council Meetin~
July 5, 2000
Page 6
response to a - I believe they are notes from a meeting with regard there was
had and I believe these are the applicant's attorney's notes. And on that
particular point it indicates "will pay whatever assessment is fairly assessed by
the city" so I think we need the applicant to clarify what the objection is to 2.11
and what it is they're really asking us to do there. The others we know what
they1re asking with regard to those proposed findings.
Bird: Would the applicant like to come forward?
Smith: Mr. President, members of the council. My name is Gene Smith.
Unfortunately Joann was not able to attend at this time but I have reviewed her
letter and as a matter of fact I do have copies for each of you. There's actually
two documents there that I am handing out. The one being Joann's letter and the
second one referring to Condition of Approval 2.2 dealing with working with the
School District requiring a letter from the School District indicating that they have
no interest in a school site on this piece of property and have capacity to approve
this project. The letter there is from the School District. I just received that today
indicating that very thing. So in addition to those items pointed out in Joann's
letter, we would request that Item 2.2 also be deleted based on that letter from
the School District. With response to Item 2.11, the objection was, or I should
say our understanding was that we would be more than willing to pay whatever
assessment is applicable throughout the city that is being charged area wide.
However if it was a specific charge, specifically against the project, that was our
objection - not if it was something that was area wide throughout the city.
Nichols: Mr. President. If I may address the applicant.
Bird: You may.
Nichols: Mr. Smith, what's intended here is that future developments contribute
to establishing water trunk lines and sewer trunk lines. Now when you say
assessments within the city, those that are already on a trunk line and already
have their sewer connections and already are served by city services would not
be assessed the system development charges. It will only be new
developments. So my question to you is when you say "city wide" do you mean
city wide to all users or city wide to new-
Smith: To new developments.
Nichols: Thank you.
Bird: Any other-
Nichols: President Bird, if I may ask. Mr. Smith, would you object to language
which says that such time as a system development charge is adopted by the
City of Meridian that any and all lots within Edinburg Place within this particular
,,- -
(
Meridian City Council MeetinJ

development would be subject to that assessment? Would you object to that sort
of language?
Smith: No. I think that would be acceptable.
Bird: I'm agreeable with you.
Nichols: Yeah. I just want to make sure that there is something in here that
addresses that, President Bird. Thank you.
Bird: Thank you. Council. Any questions?
Anderson: Mr. President.
Bird: Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: I'm not sure if this is a question for the applicant or our council. On
that 2.8 in the language about the voluntary versus shall be required - I guess
my question by changing that terminology to voluntary does that mean that at
any point the applicant decides he doesn't want to pay those that he could just
stop paying those and would we have any legal recourse to then require the park
impact fees?
Nichols: Councilman Anderson, President Bird and members of the Council, this
is sort of the same discussion we got into with regard to the park side in Bear
Creek. The difference was that in Bear Creek the park site was already platted
as one lot and so upon approval of the Preliminary Platt it was going to be there
regardless. As I understand it this has to do with possible tax breaks for a
voluntary payment of park impact fees and calling that a donation versus a
mandatory payment which is a cost of development and then would have to be
amortized over whatever the applicable amortization schedule is for capital
improvements of this type. I think - I am not sure if they decided to walk away
and not pay those park impact fees - whether this proposed language would
have the same force as the language that we propose. The other thing that I
would submit to you is all you're basically doing is asking them to be subject to
the same thing that somebody that's already contiguous to the city limits would
be upon this approval. So you're not asking them to do anything here more than
what another applicant would do that's contiguous to the city limits that would be
annexable. So to answer your question I am not sure that we could mandate
those payments because it's not a requirement. It's not a Condition of Approval.
It's just a recitation that they voluntarily agreed to pay it.
Bird: Any other questions, Council? Thank you Mr. Smith.
Smith: Thank you.

Page 8
Bird: Discussion?
deWeerd: Mr. President.
Bird: Councilwoman deWeerd.
deWeerd: A question for Shari. On the 10 percent open space for Vienna
Woods, they had 10 percent open space, didn't they? I thought that was the
discussion at our last meeting, but I can't remember.
Stiles: Vienna Woods was not required to have 10 percent open space as part
of their development but I believe they do have an eight acre park within it that's
also used for drainage. But that wasn't a condition that we placed on them.
They did that voluntarily.
deWeerd: Right. It wasn't a condition but they had at least the 10 percent--
Stiles: I believe it was an eight acre park within it.
Bird: Any other questions, discussion. If none, I'll entertain a motion.
Anderson: Cherie, have you had a chance to read this letter and do you have
any comments on it?
McCandless: Councilman Anderson, Council. I have looked at it. I believe that
it is reasonable since they have volunteered to pay the park impact fees and we
really have to standing to - even if they were required to meet our subdivision
ordinance which they're not in Ada County, I think that they're volunteering to
provide those park impact fees. It would be roughly between 25 and 30
thousand dollars to the city. I think that's reasonable.
deWeerd: Mr. President.
Bird: Mrs. deWeerd.
deWeerd: I thought the discussion was that because they were going to pay
those fees, that's what made it more desirable, and if we have no assurance that
those fees are going to be collected because of the term voluntary, then that kind
of takes away from the intent, doesn't it?
Bird: Mrs. deWeerd, I think this was done just like what was asked at the Bear
Creek thing. It's strictly a deal for tax benefits for them.
deWeerd: But like our attorney mentioned, that was platted so they pretty much
couldn't go back on it. It was part of the Platt. This is not part of the Platt. It's
not able to be part of the Platt.

Bird: Very true.
Anderson: Mr. President.
Bird: Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: Maybe we could have the applicant address that term for us since
welve heard our attorney and yourself give us interpretation of what they mean.
Maybe they could tell us what they mean by changing that term.
Smith: Mr. President, Members of the Council.
Bird: State your name again.
Smith: Gene Smith. The word voluntary is strictly for a tax issue. If it pleases
the Council to strike that, we're willing to do that. Thafs fine.
Bird: Any other questions for the applicant?
deWeerd: Cherie has a comment.
Bird: Cherie.
Stiles: Mr. President, Council, I had a question of the applicant. Since we've
never been able to impose impact fees, have you had the discussion with the
applicant when that will be collected by the city? Is that going to be an up-front
payment to the city upon recordation or upon signing of the final plat, or -
because we won't have any control over it once it's signed and goes to Ada
County.
Smith: What we had discussed previously with your city engineer, Gary Smith,
that would be a collection at time of building fee that would then go directly to the
city - Building Permit Fee.
Bird: That is done through Ada County, though.
Smith: But the collection of that impact fee for the city.
Bird: Ada County would collect it through the building fee and then pay us back.
Anderson: Shari's shaking her head that they won't-
Bird: Theylve never done that before that I know of.
Smith: I believe what our discussion with Gary was the fees are collected
separately for the water and sewer versus the actual Building Permit Fee. The
Building Permit Fee would go to the county. The water and sewer hook-up fees
(
Meridian City Council Meetin~
July 5,2000
Page 10
go to the city. And that park impact fee would be collected at that same time that
the water and sewer fee were collected.
Bird: So basically every billing permit, you'd make out two checks - one to Ada
County and one to the City of Meridian.
Smith: That's correct.
Anderson: You are going to have to do that anyway because of-
Smith: Because of the water and sewer.
Bird: Yeah. Okay any other questions? Okay. Thanks, Mr. Smith. Council,
what's your pleasure?
Anderson: Mr. President.
Bird: Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: I would make a motion then that we approve the Preliminary Plat for
Edinburg Subdivision for 53 lots and 5 other lots.
Stiles: The Findings?
Anderson: And instruct the city attorney to prepare the Findings of Facts and
Conclusions of Law in a decision of order and in three responses from the
applicant - on the first one about striking the word "shall be required" and
changing to "as voluntarily agreed" we have read that the applicant has agreed to
contribute park impact fees to the City of Meridian for this subdivision.
Bird: Do I hear a second? Mr. Nichols.
Nichols: I'll wait (inaudible)
Bird: Okay.
McCandless: 1111 second.
Bird: Okay. Now discussion. Mr. Nichols.
Nichols: Point of clarification, President Bird, Council and Anderson. We already
have the proposed findings of facts, so if you can direct me exactly which ones to
change then I'll make these changes and submit the changed ones to the clerk
for the Mayor's signature and so it looks like at this point 2.8 has been asked to
be changed in the motion. 2.2 with regard to the school stuff as addressed by

the letter I can either take it out or I can leave it in because the address satisfies
that condition.
Anderson: Okay. Delete 2.2 and then make the modification on 2.8 to - You got
the language on that one?
Nichols: Okay. And then what do you want to do with 2.1 0 and 2.11?
Anderson: On those I think we can probably delete those and from what our staff
is telling us that those weren't required in the other projects and there wouldn't be
a problem. Is that correct Shari?
Stiles: I am sorry I couldn't hear you.
Anderson: 2.1 0 and 2.11 that they could be deleted.
Stiles: I don't have that file.
Nichols: President Bird, members of the Council, 2.10 is the 10 percent open
space reference.
Anderson: Okay. So 2.11 we'd leave in and 2.10 we'd take out.
Nichols: 2.11 I would suggest is reworded to say that the applicant will pay
whatever system development charges subsequently approved by the Council
and applied to all new developments.
Anderson: Okay.
Nichols: And my apologies to the person that transcribes the minutes but I think
that that is where we are at.
Bird: Seconds, do you agree with that?
McCandless: Yes.
Bird: Anymore further discussion, Council?
Anderson: Mr. President.
Bird: Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: I guess one further comment that I would like to add to the
developers and we have been talking to staff a lot and any of these projects that
we're getting correspondence on the day of the meeting, in the future, we are not
going to be acting on those because we don't have time to thoroughly read,

Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law: AZ 00-009 Request
for annexation and zoning of 101.4 acres from RT to R-4 for
proposed Autumn Faire Subdivision by Gem Star Properties, LLC
- southwest corner of Black Cat and Ustick Roads:
Bird: Okay. Next Item. Item F1 from the Consent Agenda. This is 1 F. Findings
of Facts and Conclusions of Law: Request for annexation and zoning of 101.4
acres from RT to R-4 for proposed Autumn Faire Subdivision by Gem Star
Properties, LLC. - southwest corner of Slack Cat and Ustick Roads.
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor - I mean Mr. President.
Bird: Mrs. deWeerd.
deWeerd: Sorry to have given you a promotion or a demotion. I am not sure
which.
Bird: I thank you. I know. I'll stay where I am at.
deWeerd: Perhaps our city attorney can give us an overview on this.
Nichols: President Bird, Councilwoman deWeerd, members of the Council, after
the last council meeting, the attorney for the applicant submitted a request for
reconsideration with regard to the denial of this particular annexation and zoning
and Preliminary Platt on this subdivision. You will recall that a lot of the issues
centered around the proposed park site. She has Susan Wildwood representing
the applicant Gem Star Properties submitted a 4 page letter with attachment
asking that the Council reconsider and reopen the public hearing and take this
additional information in with regard to issues pertaining to this park site. The
letter specifically ask that it be reopened on July 18th and Mr. Clerk, I am not sure
that there is enough time to publish and have it on the 18th.
Berg: Mr. President. There was a council there was not sufficient enough time.
It's 15 days notice and that's from the date of the notice in the paper and there's
some deadlines that we have to have to meet it in the paper so we could not
meet that 18th.
Bird: Would August 1st? Give you 15 days.

Berg: I would just guess that the August 1st date would be an acceptable date.
(
Nichols: Mr. President. The question is whether the Council wants to reconsider
it at all and if the Council wishes to reconsider then someone who voted with the
majority and denial would have to move to reconsider and then there would have
to be a subsequent motion to set a new hearing date on this application to
receive this additional information with regard to this part.
Bird: Okay.
deWeerd: Mr. President.
Bird: Mrs. deWeerd.
deWeerd: I was one that voted against this for the concerns that are explained in
this letter including sewer capacity design, road access, and development of time
frames of the mentioned park. We didn't give the applicant an opportunity to
respond to the questions we raised in our discussions and I do think it's fair that
we allow them an opportunity to respond. It looks like they have done some
redesign on this. I don't think there has been enough redesign to warn it going
back to planning and zoning but I would move to reconsider this - the application
of Gem Star Properties, Autumn Faire subdivision for annexation and zoning as
well as Preliminary Platt. Can I do them all in one?
Bird: One time.
deWeerd: Okay. Just for annexation and zoning.
Bird: We've got a motion, Council. Do I hear a second?
Bird: No second? Motion dies from lack of second.
deWeerd: Mr. President.
Bird: Mrs. deWeerd.
deWeerd: This is an unusual circumstance that some of these issues were
raised after the public testimony was closed and we had no public opposition to
this application. We had several actually neighbors testify in support of it so I find
it somewhat we didn't give a reason for denial and so this letter does ask for
more specifics on why it was denied so I do believe that we haven't given the
applicant the necessary information on this application to figure out if they need
to go back and redesign or what they need to do. So without reopening it, I don't
see how we can do that.
Anderson: Mr. President.

Item 7.
CUP 00-031 Request for Conditional Use Permit to construct two
office/warehouse buildings on 4.13 acres currently in an I-L zone
by H & W, Inc. - northwest corner of Franklin Road and 10th Street:
Bird: Item No.7. Conditional Use Permit to construct two office/warehouse
buildings on 4.13 acres currently in an I-L zone by Hand W, Inc. - northwest
corner of Franklin Road and 10th street. Staff.
Stiles: Mr. President, Council. This is for a property located on the northwest
corner of Franklin Road and Northwest 10th. This would be the storage units
back in this area here. This property is still in the county and currently has a
residential unit on it. The recommendations to City Council, on page 3, Item 1.11
we would like - they may have given some information about this at the Planning
and Zoning commission but I don't have those minutes, so we would like them to
offer some details about the actual use of the structures - particularly where it
says at the end of that 1.11, it says staff wonders if any commercial retail uses
are proposed since this is in a light industrial zone. Commercial and retail uses
are not permitted uses, so I don't think that needs to be there. We are still
waiting for documentation of Item 1.13 as par as their documentation for the 10
percent of the gross land area and to calculate that landscape area within the site
fence boundaries. This is the eight mile lateral that runs on the northern
boundary of the property and they are proposing fencing on the easement line for
the eight mile lateral. Another item we wish to address, on the site plan, they're
showing this driveway here from the corner of the building to the proposed fence
line is only 13 % feet, and then talking with Fire Chief Kenny Bowers tonight, he
indicated that he would like that to be a minimum of 20 feet. Item 1.15, staff had
requested that in conjunction with making this a 20-foot driveway, they also
removed this parking stall as it would impede access. Also back on 1.14, it says
the drive isle on the west side of building one and that should indicate the east
(

(
side of building one. On Item 1.16, we can clarify this when they come in for
actual building permits and actually have a tenant because it's not known if the
parking spaces are adequate. We don't have a floor plan showing how much is
office, how much is display area, how much is warehouse and what kind of
company vehicles may be involved in the business - the proposed business. So
we can verify that. They said that their parking was adequate for their anticipated
number of company vehicles, but we would need to verify that as part of a
Certificate of Zoning compliance. On Item 1.17, we will also need to get the
calculation for the total caliper inches proposed on the site to meet the
landscaping requirement and we can verify that as part of the building permit
process. Also, under 1.18, no screen trash enclosures are shown on the site.
They would need to be enclosed by a screening fence and we would like them to
coordinate the locations and the construction requirements with Sanitary Service
Company and provide a letter of approval from their office. Signage is also
mentioned under 1.20. They haven't proposed any signage and that's why we
did recommend a limit to any signage on the site. Staff would recommend
approval with staff conditions on this project. Thank you.
Bird: Thank you. Any questions for staff?
deWeerd: Just for clarification, there's no necessary changes to the P & Z
recommendation except to clarify on 1.15 - the east side of building one.
Stiles: That would be on 1.14.
deWeerd: ,Okay.
Stiles: Yep. We wouldn't change anything. I guess the condition, after talking to
Kenny Bowers is that they would need to alter the site plan to show a minimum of
20-foot driveway in this area here.
deWeerd: And that's on the east side of building one?
Stiles: Yes.
deWeerd: Okay. Thank you.
Bird: Any other questions. Okay. If the applicant is here, come forward please.
Whitney: Good evening, President Bird, members of the Council. My name is
Ron Whitney, 1412 West Idaho Street, Suite 200, representing Hand W Inc.
I have to apologize. I am a little bit taken back here. Jim Glancey's office, who is
the architect on the job had submitted a revised site plan subsequent to the
Planning and Zoning Hearing. In an attempt to address most of these issues we
have the landscape calculations on the plan. We have the caliper of the trace of

the plan. We have the trash enclosures on the plan and I guess I need to ask if
maybe that drawing hasn't gotten into her hands.
Stiles: I don't. I don't have it. I don't have a revised plan.
Whitney: Okay. I don't know. Maybe it's not necessary.
Bird: Do you have a revised plan there, sir?
Whitney: Yes, I do. Unfortunately I only have one.
Bird: Well, I know. What is the date on it - as long as we can set the date down.
Whitney: Revised 6/26.
Bird: 6/26. Note that for the record.
Whitney: I can certainly leave it for the record.
Bird: If you wouldn't mind. Leave it to Shari. Let her look at it real fast and make
sure that -
Whitney: So, the issues that were addressed, I think we pretty much already
addressed on, I think we don't have a problem. The only thing that caught me a
little bit by surprise was a request by the Fire Department to increase the 13 'Y2
foot wide to 20 feet. At Planning and Zoning, it was discussed that at 13 % feet,
that needed to be designated a one way drive and we did designate that as a
one way drive. We had no comments from the fire department and the initial
submittal and return so that's brand new to me tonight.
Bird: Shari, can you answer that?
Stiles: I believe that was why we put in our comments that the drive isle is
subject to Fire Department approval. From A Planning and Zoning standpoint, if
there's adequate room for one-way traffic for a car, they didn't have a problem
with reducing that to 13 % feet but we can't change fire code.
Whitney: Weld like the opportunity to discuss that with Fire Chief. We've tried to
address it as far as turning radius to make sure that there was adequate room to
bring fire equipment around the building. I'd like that opportunity to at least have
a discussion with him to make sure we don't have a misunderstanding there.
Bird: Is that agreeable, Shari?
Shari: That's fine. I think the way it stands in the comment area and the
recommendations handles it because they'll need the fire department's approval.

Incorporated - west of Locust Grove Road and north of Fairview Avenue. Staff.
Stiles: Mr. Mayor - sorry. Mr. President, Council. This is for the five acre parcel
on Locust Grove Road. It's kitty-corner from the lot that Fred Meyer is on. They
did receive Conditional Use Permit approval for a development here and
proceeding with their Final Plat tonight. You have our comments that are dated
in a memo - a memo dated June 29, 2000. The applicant has responded saying
they will comply with everything and that's the kind of response we like. Staff
would recommend approval with the conditions of the Preliminary Platt and the
Conditional Use Permit requirements.
Bird: Thank you. Any questions of staff? Applicant.

Item 9.
Appeal of Planning and Zoning Administrator's Decision to
Require a Conditional Use Permit by Eagle Concrete Pumping -
Baltic Street in The Meridian business and Industrial Park
Bird: Okay. Passed. Item no. 9. The appeal of Planning and Zoning
Administrator's Decision to Require a Conditional Use Permit by Eagle Concrete
Pumping - Baltic Street in The Meridian business and Industrial Park. Staff, do
you want to take it over.
Stiles: Mr. President, Council members. The City Zoning ordinance has a
section on Flood Plain Development and we had processed some building
permits in this Meridian Business and Industrial Park. It's the same park that the
new fire station is in and also where Artack (sic)and all of that development
across from the cemetery is on Franklin Road. The ordinance is fairly clear on a
requirement for any structures within that flood plain overlay district to be
developed under the Conditional Use Permit process. The plats that were
recorded for this subdivision didn't show the flood plain as is required on the plats
that we have today so that'we can readily ascertain which lots lie within the flood
plain. The applicant had submitted for a building permit for a Certificate of
Zoning Compliance and in Steve Siddoway review of the application determined
that they would require the Conditional Use Permit and informed Eagle Concrete
Pumping that that would be required before we could process the permit. I think
part of what triggered is - a more close - for him to look more closely with this
project was that - typically when we get building permit applications, if they are in
a flood plain particularly for single family home residential. There's a note right
on the Platt that said their finished floor elevation has to be a minimum of one
foot above the highest established ground water elevation and when this
application came in they were proposing there's an error on his report. It's one
point - they were proposing that the floor elevation would be 1.75 feet below the
flood plain elevation. I haven't had experience with the flood plain issue prior to
this. Steve, being from Portland had had a lot of experience with the flood plain
and part of his concern was that the flood plain has been established - that that
flood plain elevation that's been established will at some time be flooded again is
his contention. The applicant has also said that with their floor elevation below
flood level, that they would simply open the doors if there were a flood to allow
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 5,2000
Page 49
the flood waters to progress through the site. We are required to have an
ordinance dealing with the permitting of uses within the flood plain. Our
ordinance does require the Conditional Use Procedure. Had we not had any kind
of ordinance regarding development in the flood plain. Most of the properties
within Meridian would not be eligible for FHA or VA - those kinds of programs for
funding so. That is what the appeal is about and hopefully someone's here from
the applicant to address those issues. If you have any other questions.
Anderson: Mr. President.
Bird: Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: Help me to understand, Shari. I'm still not sure why being in a flood
plain makes it a Conditional Use Permit Application. I mean it seems like staff
should go to work with the applicants on that as far as making sure their
foundations are high enough and stuff like that. It seems like we have more than
enough stuff coming from the City Council that - that should be a staff level
decision and those things should be worked out there. I am not following why
those need to come here.
Stiles: If our ordinance were written that way, that would be fine. But it's not. It
specifically requires the Council to act on the Conditional Use Permit. And I don't
know the history. I don't know if there's anybody that -- I mean I almost think it's
not a good idea to have the Council and the Commission because you don't have
the expertise to even - I mean why would you want to permit something like that
and what if they do flat? I mean does that mean that you authorize them to build
and we're - I don't know. I don't know. Maybe Bill has some experience in
another community, but that's the way our ordinance reads and it's not something
that once we became aware of that whole overlay district and how it reads in the
ordinance, we can't just say 'Well we're not going to enforce it. II We have to
enforce what's there.
Anderson: Well, yeah. I guess if you say there's a problem with the ordinance
maybe we ought to approach it from the ordinance instead of making all these
people come to us for Conditional Use Permits.
Stiles: Well, I think that that's going to require a change in the ordinance. That's
not something that you can say "ignore that portion of the ordinancelt. I mean
you can certainly instruct us and I will be glad to work toward changing that if
that's your direction but it's not up to staff to say 'Well, we ought to be able to
handle in house and let's not bother the Council with it because it's-"
Anderson: That's not what I'm asking you to do. I'm asking you if our ordinances
don't do what you think they ought to do you ought to bring that to a work session
and recommend that we change that ordinance - not just arbitrarily change it.
That's not what I'm asking you to do.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 5, 2000
Page 50
Stiles: Right. Well this just came up. I mean this came up in probably the last
two or three weeks or less. But it's there for a reason and I don't have the
expertise with the flood plain district. I know that Steve has been working with
Fred Eisenbart at the Department of Water Resources. He's also going to apply
to go to a conference back in Washington D.C. that would be paid for hopefully
by the Federal Government to help him become more aware of the issues
involved with the Flood Plains but I think it is important. You build a lot of
structures in a flood plain and when that flood plain elevation is reached in the
future - I mean it's not a question of if - it's a question of "when". Where does
that water go? You're increasing the flood probability on lands beyond this
property because you're impeding the water based on the structure being there.
It's a pretty important issue and I agree that it's probably not something that you
want to be involved in but we're just following the ordinance.
Bird: Any other questions? If not, I got one, Shari. How far into the process was
this applicant notified that there was a problem and how many other buildings are
sitting within a block area down there that has been approved without a CUP?
Stiles: Probably most of the structures that are there, at least Don Asbell's, the
Architectural Building Supply probably is. There's a new one back on -
Bird: Thomas Suites.
Stiles: Thomas - I am not sure if that's all in but all the remaining lots in this
subdivision are impacted by the flood plain.
Bird: None of those were -- that has built so far -- have not been impacted by
the-
Stiles: They haven't been impacted. They've been in the flood plain but they
were not required to go through the Conditional Use.
Bird: Okay. How far along - was this applicant told right up front when he come
in that he was in the flood plain - that it would take a Conditional Use Permit?
Stiles: I couldn't answer that. I don't know. I mean, they came in for a certificate
of zoning compliance and that was when Steve found out how much of that
property was in the flood plain.
Bird: Okay. Thank you, Shari. Any other questions for Shari? If not, the
applicant want to come forward?
Larson: Good evening, Mr. President Bird, Councilmen. My name is Cornell
Larson. My address is 210 Murray in Boise, Idaho. Just to give you a little
history on the site that we're looking at right now, this project was subdivided
{
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 5, 2000
Page 51
some time back by the V H Moore Company. Within the last year or two the
flood plain map there was amended to - and I've since found this out since we've
got to this point, was amended to reflect the culvert under the railroad crossing
that was undersized that was allowing this particular area to back up and be
flooded. We have talked to the developer about changing out the culverts $0 that
the lots would be out of the flood plain. He's reluctant to do that because of the
downstream effects that may occur as a result of changing out the culvert. So
what we had done early on in the project is the owner had came in and visited
with the city and I talked to the Building Department, the Zoning Department
sometime back in February or March and asked what needed to be done. He
was told basically that if the building floor were in the flood plain area, as long as
it doesn't have an office or anything in it - as long as it is being used for storage
garage type facility that could be built like that. We subsequently took on the
project as the architects and again check back with - we checked in this case
with Steve Siddoway and talked to him about where it was and what it was. We
only got to this point about two weeks ago of finding out that it was in the flood
plain. It required a Conditional Use as a result of being in the flood plain. We got
to that point after we had submitted the Zoning Certificate application. Prior to
that, we hadn't received any indication from anyone that it did require a
Conditional Use Application. What we're here tonight hoping to do is to see if
there is some way - then we wanted to talk a little about schedule but if we go
through the Conditional Use process as we understand it we are approximately
three to four months down the road plus six weeks to get a building permit. This
being a concrete tilt-up building puts us starting that in late November and that's
pretty tough start time. We had thought we had done our homework on the job.
We aren't normally in asking for these kind of things because it hasn't been our
practice. We usually try to go through the proper procedures to get them done.
Our hope was that you could alleviate some of the time concerns that we have.
The owner has lost his lease, needs a new home, has gone through all the
financing, all the appraisals - all of the things and was basically prepared to start.
We would like to see if it would be at all possible if there was some way we could
work through this with staff to shorten the time frame up and reach some of the
items that may be addressed under the Conditional Use so that we could
address those as well. The other problem that we have is the site's an extremely
small site. To elevate it a great deal of height means that we have to have side
slopes so we aren't encroaching on the adjacent properties and makes it pretty
difficult on a small site to get it up as high as we need to make the flood plain
finish floor elevation work. That's why we had gone to the building department to
ask, you know if we could keep this floor down if we didn't have office space in it-
if we were merely using it to stofe and to move vehicles in and out of and so we
thought that we had done everything right. Well, we obviously haven't or we
wouldn't be here and it's no fault of anyone in particular as Shari had said. It's
one of those things that kind of came to light in the process of what we thought
we were doing was the appropriate approach to the project. So what we were
looking for is some hope for some sympathy, I guess and see if there would be
another method we could proceed through this project with and do the best we
{
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 5,2000
Page 52
could at complying with the ordinance. If there was a shortened version that we
could go to so that we could conceivably get this project started earlier. And
that's all I had to say.
Bird: Council, any questions for Mr. Cornell?
Anderson: I had one. So your floor is a foot and % lower than the flood plain, is
that right?
Cornell: Correct. That's where it's at right now, yes.
Anderson: And you have no plans of raising at all?
Cornell: Well we could back and explore that again but initially we had about 130
feet to work with and as you jack the site up you have to worry about how the
ground tapers off to the adjacent lots. You don't encroach on the adjacent
property owners. As we continue to raise it up and continue to narrow the
parking areas and the usable areas down - it was getting to the point where we
couldn't make all the slopes work. We couldn't make the Americans With
Disabilities stuff work where we needed it to work.
Anderson: Have you looked at retaining walls around it?
Cornell: We could probably do some retaining walls to help that out a little bit.
They just got to the point where they were expensive too because they were
about just going around the lot and letting the adjacent property owners butt up to
them later. Again, we do apologize for this. We aren't normally in this mode but
at this point and time we're to a point where we needed to at least ask you.
Bird: Cornell what are you - I know it's concrete business but are you - that's
where you're going to repair your trucks and stuff like that or - you say you're not
going to have an office there or work - Come on up if you -
Eisele: President Bird and Council. My name is Rod Eisele. Address is 654
North Edgewood in Eagle. Basically it's going to just be used to store the trucks.
We take them in and out every day to go do jobs at other places. We might do
minimal maintenance there but most of the maintenance is done at either Mack
dealers or tire shops or stuff like that.
Bird: So basically it's going to be a wide open building with several overhead
doors - stuff like that so that, like you said, if it did flood, you'd run it right on
though.
Cornell: Right. And as far as the slope of the lot, if we elevated it as high as they
say we need to, can you imagine driving a 59,OOO-pound truck on a slope lot on a
(
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 5,2000
Page 53
snowy road? It's going to end up in the next door neighbor's lot and that's what
one of the concerns we have about -
Bird: And also doing that, you create when you have to slope up like that, you're
runoff. It runs off all of the other properties.
Cornell: Well we had taken that into consideration with his engineering and
architectural work with as far as keeping that on the same line.
Bird: And then if you put a retaining wall around that smaller property it will look
like a little fort.
Cornell: Fort.
Bird: Anybody else have any questions of the applicant?
Cornell: Can I just explain to you - the Council, what the building is. It's a tilt-up
concrete building which means it's large slabs of concrete and we caulk the
joints. The building has a restroom in it , three overhead doors, two man doors,
basically a concrete floor and a steel roof and - or steel bar joist and metal roof.
It's pretty durable should there be a flood there, it's probably about as impervious
a building you can get. To water they tend to stand up pretty well compared to
other types of structures. So what we are proposing isn't something - it isn't
compatible in the flood plain. It's a fairly compatible building.
Anderson: I guess I wouldn't be as worried about the building being damaged as
I would the contents or the occupant. We know that over the years it doesn't
always stay the same occupant.
Cornell: Yes. We understand that.
Anderson: You could sell it to anybody and have a different use in there 10
years from now.
Cornell: Yeah.
Bird: Is this right across the street from D and A glass and Caulking Specialties?
Cornell: No, I don't think. Are we down that -
Bird: Yeah you're down that-
Cornell: We're down at - you know where the Thomas Development.
Bird: When you go right on down there - they're on the big building below A B S.

dated June 28, 2000 persites (sic) the applicable Zoning Ordinance which is
Title 11, Chapter 11, Section 2. In that section, it specifically states - well let me
back up. Do you understand what the flood plain - when they say a Flood Plain
Overlay district - do you know what that is?
Bird: I believe I do, but go ahead.
Nichols: Okay. In other words, you have zoning districts. You have your C-G,
your I-L and these other districts. The Flood Plain Overlay District is one that
lays over because ifs based on topography. It lays over whatever is there -
whether it be residential, commercial, whatever the use might be. And so this
Code Section addresses what happens when this flood plain district is combined
with another district, which basically puts all structures in that Flood Plain Overlay
District under a special use or a Conditional Use Permit procedure. The basis for
the flood plain ordinances are Federal regulations tied into Federal Housing and
other financing programs - small business administration I think is also tied into
that too. And so there are requirements in your Flood Plain Ordinance in your
building codes, not just in terms of the stability of the structures that are there but
(

how much space is around them - it's not just is the structure going to remain but
what does that structure do to the force of water? So if you've got structures too
close together, it forces the water into a smaller area, increases the force of the
water. If structures aren't of the proper kind of materials, they can fall apart and
then those things jam up culverts or jam up bridges and create - I mean that's
the variety of those things. So one way the Flood Plain Regulation regulates
those uses in the flood plain is making each structure go through the special
process for approval so that each one can be looked at for all of the things that
are addressed in the Flood Plain Ordinance. You have the ordinance and it's
unfortunate that it wasn't found early, but I don't think that you can wave it in this
particular situation. I am not sure whether the fill requirements - so forth -
maybe that's something that can be addressed in the Conditional Use Permit
process as far as - this is what we're going to do. My understanding - even
thinking about we'll leave the doors open - Most shop type storage building I
have seen - all the overhead doors are on one side. Occasionally you might
have one that's got a door on both sides that can be left open so the water goes
through and it doesn't create this force effect around it. All of those things are
really things that should be addressed by staff and the Planning Commission and
really it's not left for you to guess here how that applies.
Eisner: I donlt think we're asking the Council to waive this. What we're asking
the Council to do is figure out some way that we can go ahead and start
construction and still go through the Conditional Use Permit application so that
we don't end up starting the project in December.
Bird: Well, I don't think he can do that.
Nichols: Well, President Bird, member of the Council and Mr. Eisner, this is an
appeal of the Planning and Zoning Administrator's decision to require a
Conditional Use Permit.
Eisner: Yeah. That's true.
Nichols: And so, yes, you're asking this Council to decide that no CUP is
required in this circustance and the ordinance says that it is. I've been here long
enough to know that this Council is sensitive to these timing and these billing
issues. But I - and if I could see a way around it, I'd try to find one, but I donft
see one where the ordinance is plain on his face.
Bird: Shari, how long, if they fire back throuph for a Conditional Use Permit, how
long will it be in the building permit for the 15 of July?
Stiles: Are you asking what it would typically be or what we might be able to do?
Bird: What we might be able to do.

Meridian City Council Meeting.
July 5, 2000
Page 56
Stiles: If we could get an application, Cornell, yet this week.
Bird: That's Wednesday.
Stiles: The biggest part of it is the site plan. There's a little bit of narrative. It's
just that we've got - our deadline unfortunately was this Monday for the August
meeting. If you could work on - even Monday. If we could get an application by
then to schedule it for the August P & Z and I don't know how long it would take
for recommendations from the August P & Z meeting. It doesn't require a second
public hearing so it would go directly to City Council. I does have to go to P & Z.
It requires a public hearing at the Planning and Zoning Commission. Then it
goes to City Council. I don't know how long it would take Bill to get
recommendations from that P & Z meeting in August. If he had it the next week
- I mean one week, the 15th of August, or September 5th.
Bird: Can you do it in one week? Can you turn it around?
Nichols: President Bird, members of the Council. It's highly dependent on the
circumstances. If, for example, there's no opposition, and there aren't a lot of
differences between the applicant and the staff with regard to what those
recommendations are when they receive. I mean, there have been occasions
where we've looked at some and said we think this one is going to be approved.
We don't know for sure and we can get a jump on the findings but typically our
pattern has been - like for this meeting tonight. You'll have proposed findings in
two weeks. We're a little bit crunched because we're a day behind this time but
typically we try to do that so that you have them in another two weeks.
Stiles: And then there would still be findings required from wherever the
recommendation - you'd have recommendations from Planning and Zoning
Commission, then it goes to City Council. You'd still need to order findings.
Bird: Yes. We'd still come back the 5th, but once it was approved at City Council
level, could the Building Permit process start at that time? Before we have the
findings and stuff.
Stiles: I think once we knew the intent of Council and what the findings - I mean
were reasonably sure what the findings would say, we could process it.
Bird: We could start the Building Permit? So it could be in a couple, three weeks
before the final findings and stuff is approved.
Nichols: President Bird, members of the Council. I'm a little confused. Are we
talking about simply processing a building permit, and not actually issuing it until
the findings have been adopted.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 5,2000
Page 57
Stiles: Not issue.
Bird: Starting the process. Getting in the six weeks.
Nichols: Which would include all the building plan review and all those other
things that go along with it.
Stiles: We have to take our responsibility, too, for the problem here. The Fima
maps were just new. They just redid those. I donlt know if they didnlt packet this
parcel previously but we just got new Fima maps in our department. I think
under the circumstances, I would have no problem even letting them start the
building permit review process concurrently just with the caviat that if that
requires changes in your plans for any reason, you know you would be subject to
that. We could nit really issue a Certificate of Zoning Compliance. It would be
almost like a Conditional Certificate of Zoning Compliance and that would be our
effort for our part in your problem and trying to help you expedite that building
permit. So it would probably roughly coincide - I mean if you start the Building
Permit Review Process now and the Conditional Use Process - I mean itls not
the ordinary thing that we do at all but I say it looks like the Counsells.
Bird: And then Shari will let you get started. Right Shari? As soon as itls legally
okay to start the building permit, you will -
Stiles: Then the permit - the days that those findings are acted on, the permit
could be issued the next day.
Bird: So they could process the review of findings, or the building permit
anytime. Am I right?
Stiles: Right. Donlt spread it around, though.
Bird: No. I know it. Ifs public. Is that agreeable, Cornell, Mr. Eisner?
Cornell: Yes, it sure was.
Bird: Council, you got any questions.
deWeerd: No.
McCandless: No.
Bird: Thank you. We got to enact upon this, so we have to deny the appeal.
McCandless: Mr. President.
Bird: Mrs. McCandless.
Meridian City Council Meeting

McCandless: I will move that we deny the appeal for Planning and Zoning
Administrator's decision to require a Conditional Use Permit by Eagle Concrete
Pumping and request the attorney to do the proper paperwork to accomplish that.
deWeerd: Second.
Bird: All in favor?
ALL AYES.
Item B.
Tabled from June 6, 2000: CUP 00-013 Request for Conditional
Use Permit for proposed modifications to include an additional pole
sign for Chevron I McDonalds in a C-G zone - 603 South Eagle
Road:
Bird: Okay. Next Item. Tabled from June 6, 2000. A request for Conditional Use
Permit for proposed modification of Sign. Item B. was on our Consent Agenda -
was moved to this.
Anderson: Mr. President.
Bird: Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: I, again, would like to declare possible conflict of interest since my
wife worked for this sign company.
Bird: Is that agreeable, Council, to let him step down? Okay, Mr. Anderson.
Butler: Mr. President, before Mr. Anderson leaves could I just raise a point.
Bird: Okay.
Butler: On the abstentions, I just wanted to raise a couple of points, of course,
the only conflict of interest is some kind of financial gain that stems from a
particular project, and if the Council thinks of that as being diminimus, even if you
did find that there were a financial benefit, that if it was diminimus, that the
Council Member could vote for it. And we'd love to see you, and anybody else
that is here.
Bird: That's what I've been understanding, Ron - that as I understand it from the
State Code, you bring forth your reason for stepping down and the Council can
either approve it or say "No, you won't have no conflict set in."
Anderson: I guess my only comment would be that Idaho Electric Sign is not a
large company and I guess that the financial gain of the company, in the past
they've done profit sharing and that type of stuff.
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 51 2000
Page 59
Bird: Okay, Council, whafs your recommendations? Okay. Staff.
Stiles: Mr. President, Council. This is for a request for a modification of the
Conditional Use Permit for the Chevron I McDonald's at Eagle Road and Magic
View. The applicant has submitted some signs of other - some pictures of signs
along the freeway and they have also shown the Texaco sign that's at the
existing Jackson's there. It should be noted that that Jackson's sign - we were
not doing the reviews of any signage at the time that was constructed. It shows
that it's 77 feet overall height. I don't know how they determine that. The
Building Permit or the Sign Permit application said the maximum height of that
was 65 feet, but I hope they don't consider that representative with what should
be approved in the city of Meridian. And that very sign was one of the reasons
that we started enforcing sign details of all the Conditional Use Permits and any
of the approvals that we have. It should also be noted that the majority of the
signs they've presented actually have freeway frontage. This lot does not have
freeway frontage. They do have informational signs on the freeway that direct
people to the Chevron and let them know about its existence coming up on the
exits. There's a whole lot of property in that Magic View subdivision to be
redeveloped yet and I would hate to think they'd all come in and request a sign to
be seen from that far away - that a sign of that height will impact the views of
Meridian and our entryway and our entryway into the city of Meridian. It would
also be seen prominent to the foothills to the area near Roaring Springs. So staff
does recommend denial of the application and that City Council would set some
criteria now so that we don't see another application next week for a 70-foot high
sign and to set some specific criteria for the signage on this site so there's no
question.
Bird: Any questions of Staff. Applicant.
Butler: Good evening. Joann Butler, 101 South Capitol Boulevard. Can you
hear me? Is that on? I had with me tonight, Mr. Spaghetti, the owner of the
station and Craig Jamison to talk to you about some of those signs that Shari
indicated that we had presented to Stan. You know that this has been going on
for four years in this location and there has been a lot of back and forth. We are
making our presentation tonight. Originally we were brought before the P & Z on
your Sign Ordinance criteria. We held a hearing. It was later at that hearing
determined that we should be reviewed as a Conditional Use Modification,
although there's conflicting language in our Conditional Use Findings of Fact.
Procedurally, I just have to say to the Council, just for the record, that we will
address the Conditional Use Modification criteria, but we believe that we should
have been reviewed under the Sign Ordinance all along, which is originally what
the Council had decided. But we are here asking the Council to approve the
sign. You know that we originally came before the City with a 100 foot sign. City
indicated that we come back with a new application if we wanted a 77 foot sign. I
don't know if the Council would remember, but we offered a Condition of
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 5f 2000
Page 60
Approval that we'd reduce the sign to 77 feet. That would be consistent with the
Texaco Sign that's there and the Council suggested that we come back with a
new application. I want to commend the city for working so hard on its Sign
Ordinance that you're working on. But that Draft Ordinance doesn't affect this
application. I want to stress that because I was listening outside as I was sitting
in the hallway to the comments of staff, in which the Council was asking the Staff
if they couldnlt do something different with their ordinance. Staff's comment at
that point was "No, we have to enforce what's there, under the ordinance." And I
know that you're working towards changing the sign ordinance. But staff was
right when they said that and now on this application, they seem to be saying that
"no, we'd like the Council on this application, to set some criteria." Well the
criteria would have to be set out in that Zoning Ordinance, and until that's done
welre not governed by that ordinance. And is it true that Magic View Subdivision,
folks could come in and request different size signs. That's true, and that's why
you're working toward your Sign Ordinance and I hope you get it done as soon
as you can. We had also proposed to the Council at the last set of hearings that
the condition that the applicant would turn off the sign between the hours of
11 :00 in the evening and 5 am, even though the facility will be open all night.
That's a Chevron sign and the McDonald's sign would be turned off between the
hours of 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. I just want to review quickly the Conditions of
Approval or the criteria for a Conditional Use and show you the facts of your
ordinance and your comprehensive plan allow this sign to be built as we propose.
The first criteria that you have is that this does constitute a Conditional Use and
we'll accept that under protest, as I mentioned before. You did annex this
property as General Retail and Service Commercial. This Council made the
determination that these approved uses are Conditional Uses in nature. The
whole purpose, and I'm going to quote you from your ordinance of the General
Retail and Service Commercial District, and I'm quoting: " to provide for
commercial uses, which are customarily operated entirely or almost entirely
within a building, to provide for a review of the impact of proposed commercial
uses which are auto and service oriented, and are located in close proximity to,
not next to, but in close proximity to major highway or arterial streets to fulfill the
need of the travel related service, as well as retail sales for transient and
permanent motoring public. The whole purpose of the C-G zone is to serve the
motoring public with services in close proximity to the major highways, and that's
what we've attempted to do. I want the Council, if it hasn't read the transcript
would know this but P & Z Commissioner Barbeiro, during the P & Z
Commission, made a talk to his fellow commissioners, who happen to be new -
and said" You know when this was up before us last time, I voted against this
sign" and he said" because I didn't understand that our ordinances talked about
enclosed proximity to major highways," and he said he was wrong. He voted for
the sign in this case.

Meridian City Council Meeting

Butler: -- adopted the Comprehensive Plane. You identified this area as service
commercial in nature. And this site is located smack dab in the middle of this
service commercial area. It's consistent with the goals and the policies of the
Comprehensive Plan. Those in opposition at the P & Z Commission and note
that there is nobody here in opposition tonight. But at the P & Z, they gave no
reasons - not one reason why the applicant is not in compliance with your
ordinances. One of the commissioners, also P & Z commissioners stated at the
hearing that it was always assumed that this freeway oriented sign would be part
of this freeway oriented project. The City understands very well that this is part
of your commercial development that you are leading people into the city of
Meridian. By the way, that came up at another one of the hearings too - is that
people don't understand that that particular corner is Meridian. Is it Eagle? Is
that what Eagle Road is? Is this really Boise? Is this just Saint Luke's over in
Boise? For me, it doesn't ever seem confusing, but what we understand from a
lot of people is that the people did not understand that this is an entryway into
Meridian. One of the things that I was just talking to Mr. Eddie about and I'll just
throw it out to the Council for your consideration - is if, in connection with this
sign, you would like a Welcome to Meridian, on that sign post - that Mr. Eddy
was saying. If that's something that people want to consider, he'd be happy to
work with the city on that. Your con plan states that the city supports economic
development by designating these commercial activity centers in the city. That's
exactly what this is. The land you sell them and if your con plan says it's based
in part on the objective to provide mixed use planning along this 84 corridor,
compatible with high volume corridors - and I'm not siting the actual sections. If
you want me to do that or if you want me to provide my notes afterwards, I can
do that. So the Eagle Partners Project promotes Meridian's Commercial Policy
and I'm quoting: II that encourages commercial uses, especially travel related
services to locate near." And again, I repeat "near high intensity activity areas
such as freeway interchanges." It doesn't say freeway frontage. So several
places in your Comprehensive Plan, you talk about "near the freeway
interchange" but you don't require freeway frontage, which is probably why this
Council approved the Texaco on 1st street, which also doesn't have freeway
frontage. And the staff said not all of -the signs approved have freeway frontage.
The mixed use policies of the plan also apply to this. We've been working
diligently with the City to ensure and I'm paraphrasing the quoting mostly from
one of your policies - Policy 5.11: to ensure that the character site
improvements and type development is harmonized with previously developed
land in the area. And because it is located adjacent and near existing residential
areas, this project has been designed to be harmonized with those residential
areas. And Eagle Partners has made all reasonable efforts, which we ask for,
under your Comprehensive Plan, to reduce the environmental impact on the
residential areas. Mr. Jamison is going to be talking to you about the orientation
of the sign and the fact that it is not orientated to the residential area. It's
deliberately done and the lighting from the sign has been addressed by Mr.
Jamison in the past and he'll address that for you now as well. So your plan
recognizes that you want to simplify the mobility of people and goods within the
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 5, 2000
Page 62
city. Staff mentioned the small logos that are found on 1-84. That is outside of
the city's jurisdiction. That's not even a State Highway - Federal Highway, and
that the signs are not addressed. This is a separate application. Your next
criteria is that it will be designed and constructed and operated according to the
intended character of the general vicinity. Again, that is the general service
commercial area. It will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future
neighborhood uses. Again, a lot of work has been done with the Planning and
Zoning Commission to identify this as not being hazardous, certainly, or
disturbing to existing or future uses. We've offered that Condition of Approval to
turn off the sign, and again, it is oriented away from the neighborhood. There is
no blinking light from this sign, either. One of the things I would like to - this also
was brought up to the P & Z Commission. A pilot was at the P & Z Commission
and told the story about how that when the Boise Tower is off or ifs foggy and
you cannot see the tower, that pilots pone in on Boise by finding that Texaco
sign, because that is brighter than the Boise Tower. And so I just want to
mention don't equate us with the Texaco Sign. We are not the Texaco sign. We
are not blinking lights, and if anything is disturbing to the neighborhood, I would
imagine that's it. Some of the other criteria that you have for Conditional Uses
don't quite - aren't quite applicable to signs but I will just mention them - that all
essential public services are found in the area. That's true. It won't require
excessive additional requirements of Public costs. That's obviously true. It won't
involve uses with an excessive, and I quote" excessive production of glare" and
Mr. Jamison will address that as well. The criteria to have vehicular approaches
to the property obviously are not the criteria. To address this sign within also the
destruction of natural or scenic features on this also is not an issue. The only
reason that the Commission denied the sign after Mr. Barbeiro gave his
presentation and Mr. Borup was - Mr. Hatcher voted against it, although I'll point
out that at the original hearing, he said he was going to abstain. So I want to
point that out for the record because in the end he did not. He said that he voted
against it because if he could, he would get rid of the Texaco sign, but that's
really not the issue here. The issue is does this sign meet your ordinance and
your codes and we believe it does. Ms. Norton mentioned that when she made
the motion, she said something about the fact that the Pylon sign had not been
addressed in March of 1999. I really can't tell you what that's about, but again,
that would not be an issue for not reviewing this application that's before you.
We did talk to your attorney. We quoted some Supreme Court cases that I think
Mr. Nichols is aware of. In your staff report, the reasons for denying the sign is
that staff finds the application inconsistent with the 1993 Comprehensive Plan.
I've given you many and the P & Z commissioners many portions of the Camp.
plan and your ordinance is showing that we are in compliance with the
Comprehensive Plan. But the Supreme Court has ruled that you cannot deny an
application solely on the basis of your Comprehensive Plan. Your
Comprehensive Plan are your goals, and you need to set standards, against to
judge something like a sign, and that's why your working on your sign ordinance
- because you don't have those standards now. We are trying to make our sign
compatible with other signs in the area and we find that we are compatible. We
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 5,2000
Page 63
have many signs that are higher than this sign that have been approved.
Likewise, we pointed out to the city attorney, a case out of Twin Falls - Lamar
versus the City of Twin Falls in which the City was found to have adopted
suitable standards - something different for something that you're striving for. So
with that, I'll turn it over to Mr. Jamison. I'll reserve just a minute for a rebuttal at
the end, unless you have any questions.
Bird: Thank you.
Jamison: Mr. President and members of the City Council. My name is Craig
Jamison, with Idaho Electric Signs, 6528 Supply Way, also representing the
applicant in this case. But there's really not a whole lot that I can really add to
Miss Butler's comments on this. Of course this is a project that I have been
personally involved in on one level or another for about the last four years. And I
can tell you that based on my experience, we had originally presented at one
point. This was many years ago, to the Planning and Zoning Commission - a
sign very similar to the one we're asking for tonight. At that point there was times
when we attempted to submit signage applications. We attempted to include it
with Conditional Use Permits - whatever - but the policies just seem to keep
changing for us, and so final~y we've ended up at this point where we're once
again coming and requesting this modification to the Conditional Use. This is a
refresher - the orientation of the sign. We think that's very important. It is not
oriented to the neighborhood on the north, which was most of the' neighbors had
their problem in terms of the lighting. It is oriented east west along the freeway
interchange. And of course the sides of the signs themselves are metal. So any
kind of light transmission that's coming out of the signs is being directed east
west where there's no residences involved in that. The placement that we've
chosen for the sign on the back part of the property is actually two football fields
away from the residences that are in question. I thought it was also interesting at
the last Planning and Zoning Meeting - Mr. Barbeiro was really coming to
questioning the real concerns of the neighbors and the lighting and all of that. I
think the neighbors were very honest in their response when it really came down
to it. A lot of the lighting was coming from maybe the station itself, or maybe the
Texaco Sign. I think they really came down to the decision that the lighting really
wasn't that much of a concern. And especially when you consider the height
being at the 77 foot height, it's going to be way above any of the houses that are
involved. I do have copies for you here of the signs that we did survey. I could
present these two you - along 1-84. They do demonstrate that there are other
signs - certainly a lot of signs within the basic corridor and within the city of
Meridian itself, that are heights of equal to or in excess of the sign we are
requesting. There's a question on the Jackson's sign - the actual height that we
discuss. We base that height finding on the fact that we were also asked to bid
on doing that sign. So we have the prints that were being utilized to build it and it
showed in our records as being 77 foot. They could have made it shorter, but I
doubt if they would have done that since that was what they were asking for and
apparently there was no real review of it. But certainly, the McDonald's sign
(
/
\
Meridian City Council Meeting
July 5, 2000
Page 64
that's located down there on 4th Street, that is a 100 foot sign. Just right there,
also at the intersection there at Meridian - the Best Western Sign. As we were in
the process of going through this application, that sign was actually being raised.
Our understanding was that it was raised to an 80 foot height and that was on a
staff level approval. As a matter of fact, if you'll look at the photograph of that
sign, you'll see there's a crane on it right when I took the photograph so -
certainly a lot of signs - Best Western Sign, the 80 foot Meridian floor. We show
that at approximately 85 foot, the other Texaco Sign, probably about 70 foot - the
one that's on the south side of the freeway. A lot of these signs are located next
to the interstate, but not all of them are. On 1-84, you can find the Meridian Ford,
The Best Western, The Home Depot and Roaring Springs. Without freeway
frontage would be the Texaco Eagle, the other Texaco down there south of the
Interstate. Farther back you've got your tallest sign, with McDonald's, and then
you've got other signs that are quite high up there such as the Shari's Sign, and
then the new R.C. Willey Sign and the new Meridian Crossroads Signs. And I
know Meridian Crossroads - I know that came up a question earlier. Those are
35-foot overall height and 350 square foot. Certainly there's contention that this
sign would be the highest point of the horizon and I think we just pointed out that
that really isn't the case. I might even think that the hospital could be the highest
point on the horizon. But at any rate, there's also the perception that because
you have the Interstate information signs, that that takes care of whatever
necessary advertising that the people might need for being in that type of related
business. And they're great for letting people know where to get off, but I could
tell you and I think you'd agree to me it's a real comfort when you do get off so
you know which direction to go. That's something that this sign will do. And
certainly we're also looking at it from the standpoint of advertising. Not
everybody's going to be pulling off right now to go to McDonald's or to Chevron.
For the traffic going back and forth seeing it - I mean it reinforces in people's
minds that this is a business that's located there when they want to utilize it. I
could tell you that companies like Chevron or like McDonald's - or let's talk about
local operators like Mr. Addie or like the Darmanies' - wouldn't be spending this
amount of money and wouldn't be coming to meetings continuously to torment
you and bringing attorneys in if there wasn1t that type of a benefit that's involved
for them. You1re looking at - A sign of this nature - I don't know what they're
going to be paying for. We would just be doing the installation. But my guess a
sign of this nature is $75,000 on up. So there's also the concern that I have all
the time is if we allow these people to have this, then somebody else is going to
want it and somebody else is going to want it. In actuality I think you'll find when
you're talking that types of dollars and you1ra talking about the process that you
have to go for, it's pretty much of a self policing action. Not everybody is going to
want that type of sign, nor are they going to spend the money for it. With that, if
you have any questions, I'd be more than happy to address it.
Bird: Any questions, Council.
Jamison: Thank you.

Meridian City Council Meeting
July 5. 2000
Page 65
Bird: Joann, would you make it short and sweet?
Butler: Sure. The only thing I'd ask is if the City doesn't permit the sign, as we're
proposed, we need the City to tell us very clearly why we're not being approved
as compared to some of the other signs in the area. And also, as code would
ask, tell us what we need to do to obtain approval. Thank you.
Bird: Thank you, Joann. Okay, Council. Any questions.
deWeerd: Mr. President.
Bird: Mrs. deWeerd.
deWeerd: On the staff, we have our Unified Code, or Sign Code - what is the
criteria in that? She says that it's up to code. What is our code?
Stiles: They could have a 300 feet sign and it would meet that code. That's why
this is a Conditional Use Permit. The case history that's been presented here, I
donlt believe is really relevant. It has to do with a subdivision of a property that
was already zoned and they met the criteria of the Zoning and Subdivision
Ordinance and I donlt think that the Comprehensive Plan is the only criteria that
was used in determining that we would not recommend this sign. There's the
issues of aesthetics and the fact that in a Conditional Use Permit, you can
impose requirements that are not contained in the Ordinance. They also had to
have a 35-foot landscape setback. That was not in the Ordinance, but it was part
of the C0nditional Use Permit. That's why one of the conditions of the original
Conditional Use Permit that the staff put in and was included - were that details
needed to be approved as part of the application so that we wouldn't go through
this every time. I can guarantee it weill be going through this every time unless
we set definite criteria as part of a Conditional Use Permit. I haven't surveyed
the sign that's out at Jackson's and I think everybody here can admit that that's a
mistake. But I donlt think past mistakes should set a precedent for approving
things in the future. And the City has the opportunity to set a definite standard for
this development. Our ordinance that welre proposing, at least, sets that at 20
feet, I believe. Do you remember if itls 20 or 25?
deWeerd: I donlt think you got to highway signs. How tall is the Texaco one by
JBls?
Stiles: I don't know.
Bird: Texaco by JB's. I think it's probably up in the 70's. Shari, the problem I
see, and I'm going to go off because I am in a business where competition - you
have to stay equal. We let one and - you look right across the street, I would tell
Mr. Eddie that if he wanted to build a building up 100 feet, he can put signs on it

all over. Saint Luke1s is sitting up there and those signs that's their
advertisement is 95 feet in the air because I hung the things. And just tonight we
were arguing about Noreo's 25 feet sign. A half mile down, you get Crossroads,
380 square feet, 35 feet - a half mile down. And then we're arguing about this.
Stiles: That's not staff.
Bird: No, I am not saying staff. I include myself because I voted on both of them.
Stiles: But look at the size of the project. Now you've got 74 acres of a project
there.
Bird: Seventy-four acres. I mean, if you're going to have, that's your main
gateway in, that you're telling me. You're telling me that it's okay for one to have
75. You go a mile down the road, you got another 75. Just because they're both
the same company, and then the guy next door that's competing that ain't gonna
put anymore light up there that's already there between St. Luke's - it shouldn't
be approved. I don't agree.
Stiles: Well, you see our problem. That's why we asked for these to be
approved as part of a Conditional Use process. That's why we want the details
approved. Now, Joann could have come in here today and proposed a 300 foot
sign and made the same argument that that - our ordinance didn't say they
couldn't have one.
Bird: I know that.
Stiles: So, you've got to set some kind of standard as part of these Conditional
Use Permit applications. When you've got the opportunity to set a limit - I mean,
right kitty corner from this property, Hubbell came in. They're developing that
parcel. They put the requirement on themselves that they would not exceed 10
feet for any of there three standing signs. And granted, it's a different kind of
business.
Bird: You're talking about different businesses.
Stiles: But maybe they have a business in there that wants to be seen from the
freeway.
Bird: They don't have a retail?
Stiles: They can.
Bird: They can, but 1111 guarantee it they don't or won't
Stiles: They're zoned commercial. They could come in with retail.

Bird: Very few people are going to go back there. What is the Holiday Express
up? All they have to do is put a sign across the top of their banner like they've
got right there and they're as high as the Texaco or the Chevron, either one.
Stiles: I don't think anybody would have a problem if they had a building
approved and they wanted to do wall signage. It's a free standing signage that
we have a problem with. You know. We've already got a problem with the
project because of the lights glaring so terribly. You go in those people's
backyard and it's daylight and there's been no attempt to alleviate that.
deWeerd: That's a different applicant.
Stiles: No. That's the same applicant. It's this project - same property, same
project.
deWeerd: They're having light complaints.
Bird: They're having glaring light over into the -
Stiles: From the canopy.
Bird: -- from the canopy.
Stiles: Yes.
Bird: I hadn't heard that, Shari, so I didn't know but I just think you got to - a
General or Uniform Ordinance would be great if every piece of property and
every building was built was the same and had the same thing in it. When you're
out there competing for the dollar, if your competition right next door to you has
got 75 foot of sign, that everybody on the freeway can see, and it's a Texaco -
sure, when they get there, 25 percent is going to turn into the Chevron I
McDonald's, but the other 75 percent is going to - especially if you're a Texaco
card guy or somebody or company that does it. You see a Texaco there, you
pull off. If you're a Chevron, where are you going to see the Chevron sign at?
Stiles: On the freeway.
Bird: You're going to drive on by. That's my only thing. I just think you got to
make - If we want to be the community that I think we envision on being - where
we can work, play, live, we have got to be fair with the people that pay the bills.
And that's your businesses - your small businesses. I've had my say. Anybody
else?

deWeerd: To a certain extent, I agree with you, Keith, but you also have to
remember where those businesses are located and that they deserve
consideration too, although I don't see any of them here. But that is residences.
McCandless: Residences.
Bird: Oh. You mean residences. I thought you said businesses. I agree with
you.
deWeerd: That is why we started the sign ordinance last fall so we would have a
consistent policy. And until we have a consistent policy, it's hard to defend
something that you can build up to 300 feet. Now 100 feet was a little bit too
much but when we have other signs - that Texaco. That's gone in recently.
Stiles: Which one?
deWeerd: Over by J B's
Bird: You're right.
deWeerd: But that's been done since the Jackson's sign. I don't remember even
seeing that one.
Stiles: I don't think ifs gone in recently since we started requiring the Conditional
Use Permit to have details of the sign. It hasn't gone through a Conditional Use
Process.
deWeerd: The Best Western one never came in front of us? Did it?
Bird: Nope. Did Shari's come in front of us?
Stiles: Nope.
Bird: See, this is what I'm saying. We don't play even Steven. Shari, so help me
God, I don't mean anything on your staff or anything. I realize you guys have to
work by our rules and I understand we're antiquated as the devil. We're trying to
run a 30,000 population with ordinances for a 1800. That's our fault, but I agree
with Tammy. There have been too many of these big - there is no uglier to my-
than Crossroad. And we approved that. That thing went through so fast with
flying colors. And just like I said, then, tonight, staff is turning down one that's a
half mile down in a retail development because it's 25 foot high. They don't want
it there.
Stiles: Well, we're trying to be consistent and we're trying to go with the input
we've had from the Council.

Bird: I understand.
Stiles: And the Shari's and the McDonald's - those were done long before I
came here - nobody even asked for landscaping. You know. That wasn't a
criteria. Meridian was begging for businesses to come. Meridian's not begging
for businesses to come. You can be selective and you can worry about the
entrance to your city and to not see a giant McDonald's beacon be your beacon
to come to Meridian.
Bird: I don't agree there, but there won't be a discussion this time.
McCandless: Mr. President.
Bird: Go ahead.
McCandless: I'm sitting here listening to you but I when people are traveling on
the freeway and they need gas and they look for signs that they can see -
particularly card holders - if they hold a Chevron or a Texaco - we do it. My
husband and I do it when we're traveling. And we just keep going until we see
the sign that we're looking for. If you can't see the signs, you aren't going to stop,
so I think freeway signs that are seen from the freeway should be, perhaps,
larger - particularly service signs, such as - well you have signs along the side of
the freeway and it says next exit, you know you have certain restaurants. You're
still looking for those big signs. I think that's a different ball of wax.
deWeerd: Well, this area is a little bit different because of the proximity of the
residences. The Shari's and Best Western's - they're in an industrial area.
They're not surrounded by citizens and I think that's what staff is trying to be
sensitive to. I think that until we have a policy in place, 100 feet was easy to
defend. It's getting a little bit more difficult as they get closer to the other sizes. I
guess I'll go ahead and stick my neck out on this one and say I'll move to
approve the request for Conditional Use Permit for a proposed modifications to
include an additional pole sign for Chevron I McDonald's in a C-G zone and ask
the City Attorney to draw up Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law to modify
the CUP. Is that what you do? And decision of order.
McCandless: Second.
Bird:
Move to second.
Any discussion.
If not, all in favor?
Nichols: Mr. President, shouldn't it be roll call vote?
Bird: Oh. I am sorry. Okay. Roll-call, Mr. Clerk.
Roll-call: McCandless, aye; deWeerd, aye; Bird, aye; Anderson, abstain.

From:
Re:
COMPASS Destination 2020 Plan - Meridian Adoption
This memo provides Planning & Zoning Department staff comments and recommended changes
for Item #2 on your July 5th meeting agenda pertaining to the adoption of Destination 2020.
Below are some highlights from the Plan that are specific to Meridian and our Area of Impact as
well as a couple of recommendations for changes/edits that we request you incorporate as
conditions of adoption of the Plan:
A. The AP A/COMP ASS Board adopted changes to the 2015 Functional Classification
Map on 7/19/99. To complete the final adoption of the new 2020 Functional
Classification Map, each city in Ada County must adopt the new map and changes as
part of their Comprehensive Plan.
B. Meridian's Draft Comprehensive Plan (June 2000 version, currently under review for
public comment until July 24th) includes the 2015 Street Functional Classification
Map and the proposed 2020 changes. There are six (6) proposed modifications to the
Functional Classification Map that impact Meridian's area, all upgrading the
roadways to a higher street classification. Table 4-2 (pg. 12) and Figure 4-12 (pg. 17)
of the Plan show these changes:
· Amity Road - McDermott to Eagle (Collector ~ Minor Arterial)
· Black Cat Road - Franklin to Hubbard (Local -? Minor Arterial)
· Franklin Road - Ten Mile to McDermott (Collector -? Minor Arterial)
· Magic View Drive - Eagle to Locust Grove (no classification -? Collector)
· Ustick Road - McDermott to Black Cat (Collector -7 Minor Arterial)
· Victory Road - McDermott to Eagle (Local -? Collector)
Recommendation: The Figure 4-12 map showing 2020 Functional Classification
Changes for Meridian needs to be amended to reflect projects 7, 17, 33 and 34 from
Table 4-2. These four projects are not currently shown.
Destination 2020.doc
Mayor & City Council
June 30, 2000
Page 2
Also, earlier this year, J-U-B Engineers completed a study for ACHD evaluating potential
locations for new Collector-designated roadways in Ada County, east of Eagle Road/SH
55. The Council may want to review this report and determine if any of these
recommended changes or new roadways be included in the Destination 2020 Plan.
c. Table 4-3 (pg. 19) lists major intersections in Ada County that are slated for
preservation (not construction) over the next 20 years. Three (3) of these intersections
are in Meridian's Area of Impact, all located on Eagle Road. A fourth intersection,
Fairview Avenue and Eagle Road, is already in ACHD's Five Year Work Program
and scheduled for construction in 2001. The project will involve dual left-turn lanes at
all four legs and upgrading the signal. Dakota Company contributed approximately
$390,000 to this project.
D. The Mayor's Ad Hoc Transportation Committee, in their 12/8/98 memo,
recommended three (3) different tiers of priority projects, putting particular emphasis
on the eight (8) projects in Tier 1. Table 5-2 (pg. 4-5'1 Chapter 5) includes all the Tier
1 proiects requested by the Mayor's Ad Hoc Committee. It also carries over a couple
of projects from the Destination 2015 Plan, one of which is the Meridian RoadIE. 1 5t
Street One Way Couplet. This project was listed by the Mayor's Ad Hoc Cormnittee
as a Tier 2 priority project. However, the Committee's recommendation stated that
they believed Tier 1 projects, by themselves, would solve the congestion issues
without the E. 1 st/Meridian Road couplet being required in the foreseeable future. The
memo states, "The task group specifically recommends that Tier 1 projects be
implemented as soon as possible, recognizing that the E. 1 5t and Meridian Road
couplet may still be required if the Tier 1 projects do not solve the issues."
Recommendation: In this light, Staff recommends Project #29 on Table 5-2,
"Transportation Projects Planned for Construction Within the Next 20 Years," be either
omitted or moved out to 2020, not 2015.
E. Projects #30 and #31 on Table 5-2 are the Overland Road widening projects. A
correction needs to be made to reflect the current ACHD Wark Plan which shows
these as 5 lanes, not 3 lanes. Also, expansion of Overland to 3 lanes from Stoddard
Road to Kuna-Meridian Road/SH69 should be added as a new project.
F. Figure 5-5 (pg. 10, Chapter 5) is missing Project #12 from Table 5-2, the Franklin
Road expansion from Five Mile to Meridian Road. This should be added to the Figure
5-5 map.

EXHIBIT "A"
Well No. 21 Drilling Project
Change Order No. 1 Justification
Items 1 through 7: These are adjustments to the original estimated quantities.
Design modifications were made during drilling as a result of what the driller
encountered, thus causing increases and decreases in final quantities. Because
the test well was nearly Y4-mile away from the actual supply well drilling site,
geophysical conditions varied more than when the supply well is drilled adjacent to
the test well. This caused the actual quantities versus the estimated quantities to
decrease and increase more than is ordinarily encountered.
Item 8: Test pumping of the well is included and is on a time and materials bases -
not to exceed amount. Test pumping of the well, although always required upon
completion of drilling, is not normally included in the actual bid but is a negotiated
change order work item. This allows the Contractor and the City to more easily and
accurately define the test pumping requirements after completion of drilling.
Test pumping is based upon the following unit prices from Well #18 test pumping in

Re: July 5 City Council Meeting - Request for Items on Public Works Department Reports
I am requesting the following three items be placed on the City Council meeting agenda for
their consideration at the July 5 meeting. Documentation and supporting materials for each
of the three items are enclosed.
1) 2000 Water1ine Improvement Proiect - Ustick Road Waterline Extension. Bids were
opened for this project today. Seven bids were received and Lurre' Construction
submitted the apparent low bid in the amount of $220,559.85. Attached is a copy of
the memo from JUS Engineers, the project's design engineer, tabulating the bids. As
questioned in JUB's memo, we will direct JUS to further review Lurre' Construction's
qualifications prior to issuing a Notice Of Award.
The Public Works Deparbnent recommends that City Council award the
contract for this project to Lurre' Construction subject to satisfactory
evaluation of their references, qualifications and commitment to the timelines
necessary to this project
2) Drillina of Supplv Well No. 21 - Chance Order No.1. Attached is proposed Change
Order No. 1 for this project As is explained in the change order, final actual
quantities differed from those estimated in the bid schedule as is customarily the case
when drilling wells. Also included in the change order is the addition of pump testing
along with 30 days time extension (contract end date amended from 7/9/00 to
8/6/00).
The total net cost increase to the existing contract requested in this change
order is $17,721.19 and 30 days contract extension. The Public Works
Deparbnent recommends that the City Council approve of this requested
change order.
. Page 1
(
3) Aareement for Survevina Services - Plaza Sewer Rehabilitation Proiect. Two
proposals were submitted in response to our request for proposals for surveying
services for this project. The product of this contract would be used by the Public
Works Department to prepare plans and specifications for the replacement of
approximately 1 ,000 lineal feet of deteriorated sewer in the alleys between Idaho Ave
and Pine Ave (from E. 3rd to E. 1st) and between State St and Carlton (from E. 2nd to
E. 18t). Keller Associates and Civil Survey Consultants, both of Meridian, provided
proposals.
Suaaested Council Action: Approval of the Agreement for Professional
Services with Keller Associates, Inc. of Meridian, Idaho for surveying and
related services for the Plaza Sewer Rehabilitation Project, in the Time and
Materials amount not to exceed $2,836.00, and to authorize Mayor Corrie and
City Clerk Berg to sign the Agreement
Please call me if you have any questions or need additional information.
Thank you,
Brad
