MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL PRE-COUNCIL MEETING
DECEMBER 7.1999
The Pre-Council meeting of the Meridian City Council was called to order at 6:30
p.m. on Tuesday, December 7, 1999, by Mayor Robert Corrie.
MEMBERS PRESENT: BOB CORRIE, KEITH BIRD, CHARLIE ROUNTREE
OTHERS PRESENT: GARY SMITH, SHARI STILES, BILL GORDON, BILL
GIGRAY, KEN BOWERS, WILL BERG, TAMMY deWEERD, CHERIE
McCANDLESS
Corrie: I'm going to open the Pre-Council meeting, but we don't have a quorum,
so the following will be a discussion only.
Glen: - five from Canyon County, Nampa, Caldwell, the County of Canyon and
then two rural highway districts, and then Clair Bowman and I from Ada Planning
Association at that time represented Ada County governments, and Terry Little
from Ada County Highway District. At the request of the City of Boise, an
eleventh member was added at our last meeting to represent the City of Boise.
We're the Committee that's basically been working with a consultant and
advising the Idaho Transportation Department on this study~ There's two
significant things in this I'd like to cover before I turn it over to Dave. First of all,
in order to do this kind of analysis, we need a travel forecast model that was
regional in nature. For the last 20 years, Ada County has had one, but we really
haven't had the ability to look at Canyon County and the dynamics of traffic
between the two, particularly if we had the capacity in a (inaudible). Through the
funding available for the study, we did do an origin/destination survey around a
year ago and now have a regional model that we're using as an analytical tool for
this. It's also going to be a valuable tool for a lot of other studies and analyses
that we'll be doing, and it's certainly going to benefit the City of Meridian~ The
second point I want to bring up is we, early on, adopted the goal in Ada County of
25 percent of all trips by alternative modes. When we did the origin/destination
survey a year ago, we came up with about 18~8 percent of all the trips were other
than driving along, so the goal would bump that another third to 25 percent~ Had
we not made that assumption for that six percent increase in alternative
transportation, we estimate that we'd have to find another equivalent of a six-lane
arterial east-west between Ada and Canyon County just to handle the demands~
So the traffic assumption is really in here, and if it weren't, there'd be a lot more'
(inaudible) needed in the (inaudible)~ With that, I'd like to turn it over to Dave
Butzier and have him go through this with you. We are certainly looking forward
to your questions and answers.
Butzier: On the - first of all, thank you for the opportunity to be here, Mr. Mayor,
members of the CounciL The cover shows the boundaries of the study area. If
you'll look carefully, I know it's a small scale, but it really goes from Issac's
Canyon (sic) interchange on the east end to the other side of Caldwell or what's
( (
Meridian City Council Pre-Council Meeting

referred to Exit 24 where Highway 44 ties into the Interstate there~ It's 32 miles
in length, there's 16 existing interchanges, and we're looking at several new
locations to be determined. I want to walk through the sheets that are in here
and kind of give you some background~ This first sheet which we call the Travel
Demand Map, what we did was took the traffic analysis zones as a part of the
overall model and grouped major activities there. The City of Meridian was used
as one major activity center; Nampa, Caldwell and Eagle as well, and then we
took an area around the mall, downtown Boise, and the airport and Micron~ So
there's eight, essentially, major activity areas that we combine traffic analysis
zones to look at how many trips are going to be occurring between those major
zones. So if you look at Meridian, for instances, Meridian to Nampa in the future,
in 2020, the model was saying there's going to be 12,346 trips in one day, and
that's what this line shows here. The number means the number of trips being
made between Meridian and Nampa in the future. If you go the other way to
downtown Boise from Meridian, there's 12,391. It's essentially the same, but it
gives us an idea about where the trips are going to be made and where we need
to account for them. Another example would be this top line that has 560 next to
it shows the number of trips from Caldwell to Eagle~ One of the things we use
this to determine is, again, as I said, where the major trips are going to be. This
tells us from Caldwell to Eagle, there's not a whole lot of trips going to be done in
the future or made in the future. The Highway 44 isn't probably a major
component to handling the trips in the Treasure Valley between Caldwell,
Nampa, Meridian and Boise~ It may be a major component for the Middleton and
some of the stuff along Highway 44, but it's not going to be a major corridor for
relieving the Interstate. The next one, deficiencies map, Capacity Deficiencies
Map, what we did was I put into the network all the projects that are funded on
the various programs in the next five years; ITDs, five-year program, ACHD's
program for additional capacity or projects that actually have money earmarked
for in a particular year, and then ran the model with the 2020 land use. If you
look where there's blue lines, we're showing the capacity, the level of service in
the future would be what we call a level of service iCe." Green would be "D."
Orange would be "E" and red uF." Levels of service are graded from "A" to UF."
U A" would be great, uF" is not good; just like in school. uAn would be there's
almost no traffic out there and you've got very little - very few other vehicles to
worry about or getting in your way; "B" they're starting to get a little bit of traffic,
but not a whole lot of conflict; "e" you've got to be careful, you've got to watch
over your shoulder; the lower down we get, of course, "F" if there's just the
slightest incident along the freeway, for instance, a flat tire or anything and it
comes to a stop (inaudible) parking lot. So you can see the more red we have,
the less that's going to be good~ That kind of tells us where some of the
problems are. There's a lot of red. A lot of orange, unfortunately. So that's
some of the things we're trying to address~
Rountree: Mr_ Mayor.
Corrie: Mr~ Rountree.
(
Meridian City Council Pre-Council Meeting
December 7,1999
Page 3
Rountree: Dave, in addressing or identifying level of service UF," is that an
instantaneous level of service uF" or is it - did you pick a duration that the facility
would operate at uF," say, 15 minutes during rush hour or for three hours a day,
or-
Butzier: We looked at peak hours.
Rountree: Peak hours, okay.
Butzier: Good question. I don't know how long the peak hours are going to be in
the future. We didn't look at that detail. Other larger communities kind of laugh
when we talk about peak-hour, rush-hour traffic around here because we really
don't have a peak hour - yeah. We have a peak period, but it's really not quite
an hour. Most major cities have peak hours of three or four and some more than
that, unfortunately. After we identified the capacity deficiencies and the travel
demand map, we looked at - we call it a series of five strategies. This isn't in
your packet, but let me go through that real quickly. Strategy One we did all the
improvements on arterial system, nothing to the Interstate, no additional capacity
to the Interstate, not even new access points all the way to Strategy Five where
we do everything on the Interstate, no additional capacity to the arterial corridor
system. What we found was neither one, neither extreme worked. We needed
to be somewhere in the middle where we did some improvements on the
Interstate as well as some of the parallel arterial corridors. We heard that a lot
from the public. We've got sounding boards in both Ada County and Canyon
County as well as we had a series of open houses in May and again just last
month, and we're hearing that a lot that people think we need to do more than
just develop the Interstate because if something happens out there, they want an
alternative. The next formats we labeled Alternative AA through DD; AA, BB, CC
and DD. There was a step between those strategies and these that we called
Alternative A, 8, C and D. Each of those we looked at widening the Interstate
and providing additional access, cross another parallel corridor, too, and found
we still didn't have enough capacity, so we go to these what we're now calling
AA, BB, CC and DO which have several different parallel corridors. Let me just
walk through AA for you real quick It's got widening on the Interstate, and, in
this case, four lanes from the Y -Interchange to Eagle Road; three lanes from
Eagle Road Interchange on out to Middleton Road; five lanes on US 20-26 from
Caldwell all the way into Boise; five lanes on Ustick from Caldwell Boulevard all
the way to Curtis Road; five lanes on Franklin from essentially Garrity or CanAda
Road out by the Idaho Center on through Meridian into tying into the five-lane
section in Franklin down by Five Mile as well as Overland Road; a five lane
section south of the Interstate and Victory Road_ In this case, Victory Road from
1-84 out to Meridian Road with new interchanges at Ten Mile, at McDermott Road
and at Middleton Road. That's what the circles represent. If you turn over to SB,
it's very similar to AA. There's a few minor changes. The major change actually
happens in Canyon County. This one has' an interchange at Karcher Road
(
Meridian City Council Pre-Council Meeting
December 7, 1999
Page 4
instead of Middleton Road. It's also got the same interchanges at Ten Mile and
McDermott that AA had~ The other slight variation is Five Mile Road between
Franklin and Overland would be five lanes in this altemative~ Victory Road stops
at Eagle Road where as in AA it went on out to Meridian Road. Then if we move
on to CC, it's very similar to AA and BB. The exceptions are there's an
interchange at Ustick Road over south of Caldvvell, just south of the airport there.
There's no McDermott interchange, no McDermott Road Interchange. There's
still a Ten Mile Interchange. Those are the basic differences~ The other one, in
this case, Franklin Road doesn't go as a five-lane roadway past Ten Mile~
Previously it did~ It went to Garrity. Then DD, we've got - the biggest difference
- it's the one that varies the most from the other three. It's got a loop around
Nampa. As we \Nant out to the public, we heard a lot from folks concemed about
a lot of agricultural traffic coming from southern Canyon County particularly
headed to the beet factory, but other locations~ They currently all have to drive
right through downtown Nampa, and so we've been talking a lot about a loop
road around Nampa to take some of that traffic out of downtown~ On the west, it
would be Middleton Road with an interchange at 1-84. This one has Ustick
Interchange as well~ Just a mile-and-a-half further west. Going up and down to
Deer Flat Road on the southern part of the loop and then using Star Road and
Robinson Road on the east side of that loop with an interchange at Star Road or
Robinson. The previous AA and SS had those, had the interchange at
McDermott, and the pros and cons to those two, McDermott is actually half way
between Ten Mile and Garrity, so it provides good spacing on the Interstate, the
Robinson ties into Star Road which goes across the river and gives good access
to the Idaho Center. So there's pros and cons to both. We're looking at which
one really makes the most sense~ The only major difference on this DD is a Five
Mile Interchange. The previous three did not have Five Mile Interchange
(inaudible). What we did was we ran capacity analyses on these four
alternatives, and actually for the open house two weeks ago, 17th and 18th, these
other alternatives we presented to the public~ We got some input and the last
two sheets show the results of that input. I'd like to go through, move onto~ The
first, this sheet that's normal size, 8 % by 11 is a matrix summarizing the tVJO
alternatives we're looking at right now. We've pared it down to what we're calling
CC-1 and-2 and DD-1 and -2~ Let's look at the map real quick and then I'll come
back to that matrix in a minute~ CC-1 and -2, the only difference between -1 and
-2 is there's no Ustick Interchange on CC-2 and there's a Ustick Interchange on
-1 ~ It's the same thing with the next one is 00-1 and -2. There's no Ustick
Interchange on alternative 2~ So there's only slight variations between the two.
We're basically (inaudible) DD and a CC. Do you follow that? So if we look at
CC-1 first, it's showing, and you have to look at the matrix as well, but the
interstate shows five lanes in each direction from the Y to Eagle Road; four lanes
in each direction from Eagle Road to Ten Mile; three lanes in each direction from
Ten Mile on out to Ustick Road; five lanes on Ustick Road coming on into Eagle
Road; 20-26 is showing with this green that's showing is a four-lane expressway
from the Interchange there at Caldwell to Ten Mile Road and then going to six-
lane expressway from Ten Mile on into Garden City at Glenwood and then a
Meridian City Council Pre-Council Meeting
December 7, 1999
Page 5
seven-lane arterial from Glenwood on into 1-84. Franklin Road in this alternative
goes as a five-lane from CanAda all the way into town. The gap there again in
Meridian is because it's already five lanes~ We wouldn't have to do anything
more to it, but the purple on either side shows it needs to be widened. If we - it's
got a Ten Mile Interchange in this case. We've got that loop road concept
around Nampa using McDermott on the east with an Interchange of 1-84,
Middleton on the west, but it does not have an Interchange in this version. The
Interchanges are at Karcher and Ustick. Again, Ustick is in or out depending on
whether you're talking about 1 or 2. So, let's flip over to DO real quick and I'll go
through the differences between the two. It's still got the loop road around
Nampa, but in this case, eastern loop road is Robinson Road and Star with the
Interchange there, again, instead of McDermott. On the west side, Middleton
Road is still the loop road, but the Interchange is at Middleton instead of Karcher.
There's still a Ten Mile Interchange. This one still has the Five Mile Interchange
in it that we had in the previous DD. The Interstate is the same five lanes in both
directions from the Y to Eagle Road, four lanes from Eagle Road to Garrity
Interchange in this one; previously, CC we stopped it at Ten Mile. So we're
taking four lanes in each direction all the way to Garrity and then three lanes from
there on to Ustick and Franklin Road stops as a five-lane roadway at Ten Mile in
this case where it went on out to Garrity in the previous one. We have Victory
Road showing as a five-lane roadway in this case all the way to Robinson. On
the previous one it stops at McDermott which is the eastern edge of that loop
road in Nampa or around Nampa. I think those are the highlights. Ten Mile is
showing as a five-lane from 20-26 down to Victory Road, I think, in both cases.
Yes. With the connection to Highway 16 across the river coming up Ten Mile.
That matrix that I skipped over in text form gives you a summary, the black
lettering shows a common element between the alternatives. We've got red print
means there's some difference between the two alternatives, so if you look at the
1-84 lines there, again, it's Ten Mile - ten lanes, five lanes in each direction from
Y to Eagle common to both. Eight lanes from Eagle Road to Ten Mile, again,
common to both, but then it goes on DD the eight lanes or four lanes in each
direction goes on out to Garrity where it goes six lanes on CC and so forth all the
way through and it gives you kind of a summary, and hopefully you can follow
along and see the differences. I think with that we'll entertain any questions,
comments and thoughts you have on all of this.
Corrie: You're increasing the capacity of the lanes. Is that going to solve our
transportation problems by adding more lanes or do we need to go more rapid
transit? It seems like in other areas, the more roads you build, the more cars that
was on it~
Butzier: We think the answer is both. We need additional lanes, but we also
need some form of alternative transportation. I neglected to mention, the orange
line that's in the middle of both maps, CC-1 and OD-1, is along the (inaudible)
corridor symbolizing the 25 percent that Erv talked about using alternative
modes. That's going to be - take quite a bit to get us from the 18.8 to the 25
( (
Meridian City Council Pre-Council Meeting
December 7, 1999
Page 6
percent. We don't know what form that's going to be, whether it's an
expresslbusway or light rail (inaudible) or what, but it's - or HOV, High
Occupancy Vehicle Lanes, on the Interstate, but it's that 25 percent. Again, Erv
mentioned if we didn't take that incremental change from the 18.8 that we're at to
the 25 percent, we'd need additional six lanes somewhere in this area. We took
a screenline just west of Eagle Road and added up all the trips that (inaudible)
make that (inaudible) and just at change would take another six lanes to be able
to accommodate the difference between the 18_8 and the 25 percent_ So, I
guess that's a long answer to we need both_
Bird: I think Mr_ Gigray had a question to ask_
Corrie: Bill.
Gigray: Mr. Mayor, with your permission and the Council, one of the questions
that I had was what does the corridor study at this point, is this a preliminary
graph? Is this something that you are requesting that cities have reviewed by
their Public Works Departments, P & Z and maybe their Commissions and the
City Council make recommendations on positions or what is the envision of the
process at this point?
Butzier: The extent to which you want to look at it, we'd welcome as much input
as you'd want to give us. We are - we just came from Garden City, and frankly,
they don't much like the option of seven lanes down through Garden City_
They're very concerned about that_ It's an option to the info we got. The
previous, if you look at all the AA, the double-lettered ones, Ustick was a five-
lane roadway on into town, and that was a concern of the neighborhoods in
there, and so we're in the process of testing what it does in terms of pushing
traffic to the Chinden corridor, and we told Garden City that we'd take another
look and develop an option that is a little more friendly to their community. So if
there's anything you see that causes you folks concern, we'd like to know about
it.
Gigray: The point of the question, and I know I represent a highway district, too,
that I must disclose that, but it seems to me, you know, I think vvould be important
from the City's standpoint from administration is this: If you are still funded to
continue this study, and if the study is looking for some kind of uniform, at least
recognition throughout the Valley, it seems to me that it V\fOuld be important for
the various communities affected thereby to get some input, and that means I
would think the City in this instance would need comment from Public Works
Department, probably a comment from its Planning and Zoning Administrators
and Department as well as a review by the Planning and Zoning Commission
and a report to the City Council because the City Council being the governing
body would be the one to decide what the position of the City would be_ That
process takes some time. I can see this could affect a number of things. It could
affect utility infrastructure, it can affect potential zoning and Comprehensive Plan
(
Meridian City Council Pre-Council Meeting
December 7, 1999
Page 7
considerations of the City because of the time you start putting in major roads
like that, that's really going to affect land values and land use. Also, access
needs of various communities are hugely affected by this, and it would seem
that, and I don't know how far you were funded or if your mission is just to do this
and you're done.
(
Butzier: The ultimate mission is for each of the agencies in the Treasure Valley
to adopt it including Meridian, Boise, Garden City, Nampa, Caldwell. So
whatever you folks are comfortable or need to do in order to be comfortable in
adopting, that's what needs to happen.
(inaudible) Public Works Director and your Planning Director to review this
with them, see if they have any comments. This is going to go to the community,
my organization's board, on the 20th of this month for all of the elected officials to
actually get an in-depth presentation so you can hear what others are saying as
well. It's going to the public at the end of January for public comment. Following
that we'll likely send it to the Idaho Transportation Board. They're the sponsor of
this. If they don't like it, it won't go any further anyway. After that, we're going to
send it out for your formal adoption. That process can take up to six months and
would be up to each individual entity to, you know, whatever procedure you'd
like. So there's plenty of opportunities for getting Meridian and the other cities to
give us their comments, and ultimately, you're going to be asked to adopt it.
Before you can adopt it, you have to be comfortable with whafs in there.
Rountree: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: I have three questions. Are any of the improvements on any of the
corridors including an HOV facility?
Butzier: The HOV is part of that 25 percent whether - we don't know for sure
what's going to end up on the Interstate. If it's an additional lane over what we're
planning, then it'd be another lane.
Rountree: It'd be an additional lane?
Butzier: Yeah.
Rountree: On any of that widening of the existing grid other than the Interstate,
was there any assumptions made at the time of access control or are we looking
at access control that exists there or are we looking at our control access?
Butzier: There's really several answers to that. 20-26, for instance, where it's
fairly rural, particularly west of Ten Mile, that would be access control, probably
strongly controlled access. For instance, Ustick where there's already some
(
Meridian City Council Pre-Council Meeting
December 7 f 1999
Page 8
access, it would not be as strong of control, but we hope to do better than what
Fairview Avenue has done in the past, for instance, or Chinden Boulevard in
Garden City~ There'd be some control, but, again, the level of the facility would
depend~
Rountree: So that's certainly going to take some coordination for local entities
and-
Butzier: Absolutely~
Rountree: -- for the land use side of it~ Last comment or question: It seems that
this is already started to be somewhat of a divisive process. Our sister city to the
west doesn't seem to be particular pleased with much about this~ I mean to the
east. Yeah. To the east~ Right. It seems to me that we're all in this together. If
in fact they don't climb aboard on this particular corridor study and some of the
results that may please the western folks, has there been any thought to how to
get over that hurdle?
Butzier: We're still trying to figure that out, Charlie. We don't know for sure and
welcome any thoughts you might have at this point.
Rountree: Yeah~ I wish I had an answer for you. It seems to me that's probably
the key issue right now is that if we've got a major holdup, your efforts are going
to be in vain.
Butzier: Right~
Rountree: And I see from the looks of this in terms of Meridian's position)
certainly some of our main corridors will be wider than they are now, but that's
not inconsistent, I don't think, with what we've been anticipating anyway with
major sectionline facilities. Looking at five-lane roadways, north-south as well as
east and west~
Butzier: That's what we're hoping is that it would be consistent, and that was the
plan. We do, and I've neglected to mention, we do show in brown, and it's hard
to see, Locust Grove and Linder across the freeway as well based on your task
force input and - is it in your Camp Plan too?
Rountree: Not at this point.
Butzier: Okay.
Rountree: That's alii have, Mr~ Mayor.
Corrie: I was just wondering how - on the five-lane, you have Ustick, that was
one of the things that Boise was really hot about. Then you get five lanes up to
(-
Meridian City Council Pre-Council Meeting
December 7,1999
Page 9
Eagle Road, and then it goes down to nothing as far as they're concerned. What
do you do with all that traffic that's dumping on Ustick to Eagle Road?
(
Butzier: The - as an off-shoot of the Bench Valley or kind of a compromise that
came out of the Bench Valley study that most of you, I think, are familiar with, the
agreement was the connections off the Bench that came out of that study would
be done as a three-lane facilities, all of them built and then come back and look
at what needs to be done. Boise City's contention was Ustick is part of that, and
so we - the previous versions, the AA, BB, CC and DD had Ustick as a five-lane
all the way into Curtis Road where it's just opened up. Their position was not -
the agreement was we'd do all these other connections and then we'll look at
what needs to happen out here. That's why we've shown these alternatives
backing off on Ustick. Eagle Road is going to be a major facility shown as an
expressway. It's going to take a lot of traffic. We've also - Ten Mile has a five-
lane all the way up to 20-26 is previously, I think, in those versions we stopped it
at Ustick. Now it's shown as five lanes to 20-26 to help disburse some of that
traffic that wouldn't be able to go on on Ustick. I think we also, McDermott or
Robinson, depending on where the Interchange, we took it up to Ustick Road to
help again spread it Quta But the Ustick itself would be addressed after all the
other connections that came out of the Bench Valley study were done to see
what needs to be done there.
Corrie: Any other questions?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Okay. Thank YOUa
Butzier: Thank you, again, very much for your time and r~cord any other
comments you have.
Corrie: Thank you.
Rountree: Excuse me, Mr. Mayor. Could you leave some extra copies of these
- we have a couple Councilmen that aren't here and we've got two new
Councilmen in the audience, so if you've got-

BY WHITESTONE DEVELOPMENT, LLC:
Gigray: I just thought I'd provide, Mr. President and member of the Council and
soon-to-be members of the Council, on the Consent Agenda, obviously as our
practice has been, you'll want to move to take anything off there that you want to
take off, and I would note that you probably received some memos from our
office regarding that we're waiting for relinquishments on the Whitestone
Development, that's Item K, and Gary has advised me this evening, and he has
the needed relinquishments so that action can take place. We. were going to
append those to the Findings on that vacation, and then I'll hold if you're taking
notes until you nod to go to the next one. Item L, this has to do with Findings
concerning a conditional use permit that are related to Item Z~ Is there a
problem? (microphone problems)
Smith: Could I make a comment on that Whitestone? Is it okay? Could I make
a comment on that Whitestone vacation?
Rountree: Please do~
Smith: The vacation of the easements actually refers to Whitestone Estates No.
2 Subdivision. It's being done as part of the Whitestone Estates N04 3 Sub, but
the easements themselves belong to what was recorded as Whitestone Estates
No.2; specifically the utility easements on Lot 4, Block 7 and Lot 7 Block 5 of
Whitestone Estates No.2.

STORAGE, LLC:
Gigray: Mr~ President, Item L, I believe, is a conditional use permit that involves
the annexation and zoning which is in Item Z, and it is my recommendation of the
Council that you not take action on Item L, in fact, that you table it so that your
action can be complete in the passage of the annexation ordinance and Item Z is
completed, then once that has been published, the ordinance of annexation,
you'd be in a position to take action on Item L.
Bird: So in other words, table Item L?
Gigray: My recommendation would be to table Item L. The Clerk may have
further information.
Rountree: Will.
Berg: Yes, Mr_ President_ Just to add to Mr. Gigray, Item Z on the Consent
Agenda which we had gotten is Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law for
annexation and zoning which should probably be in front of that, but we got them
and we didn't get them in place in the right order_ He is correct with that
assumption of tabling, but just so you know, there is an order for that annexation
to come first.
Rountree: Mr_ Berg, what Item is that? What would be the timing on the
publishing of that so we would know the date certain to table? Until January?
Berg: Was there a Development Agreement for the Overland Mini-Storage?
Which means we need to approve the Findings of the annexation before I can
attach that to the Development Agreement to send to the applicant, property
owner. I guess that's who signs the Development Agreement: property owner.
Rountree: Which Findings?
Berg: Item Z.
Rountree: So approve Item Z and then how long do we have to table -
Berg: I will attach that to the Development Agreement and send it out -
Meridian City Council Pre-Council Meeting

Page 12
Rountree: It has to be published?
Berg: No. That's the Development Agreement. When a Development
Agreement is signed, then I bring it to the City Council for their approval and
have the Ordinance right behind it. Does that make sense?
Rountree: So then we can act on the conditional use permit? That'll be in
January.
Gigray: That would sound correct, Mr. President, and the Clerk is correct. Your
procedure would be don't pass the annexation and zoning until you know the
Development Agreement is signed because it's a condition.
Bird: Need to pull Land Z, both.
Gigray: Well, Item Z, I think you can do the Findings.
Bird: Annexation?
Gigray: That's as far as it can go, I think.
Rountree: Go ahead, Mr. Gigray.

5. ORDER OF DECISION: REQUEST FOR FINAL PLAT OF PACKARD
SUB NO. 3 BY WIRT EDMONDS AND CRAIG GROVES - WEST AND
NORTH OF FAIRVIEW AND EAGLE ROADS:
Gigray: Thank you, Mr, President. I want to report on for your information on
Item No. O. I prepared two Development Agreements. The reason for that is
that particular application included two parcels. It was a parcel A that's aO-some
acres and a parcel B that's about 1.5 acres. They have different owners, the two
parcels. So I have prepared two Development Agreements in conjunction with
the purported action there. I just wanted to note that, that you, of course, make
the final decisions when you pass things. There should be a routing slip on it
explaining it. I would point out in Items Q and R, I have an explanation letter with
both of those that were sent out in that there were some changes and corrections
that the Council ordered as a result of those particular Findings, and I felt as a
result of those changes, there were some minor other changes that needed to be
made. The letter that accompanies those Findings explains what it was~ I just
wanted to point that out to you. In Item 8, an Order of Decision, there's a
reference in 1.2 of the Order of that final plat. Order of Decision which
references, I believe, the placement of that pathway, and I included in that in a
provision in there and in accordance with the requirements of the Nampa
Meridian Irrigation District, that that's incorrect. I might point that out, and Shari
might take a peek at that as we go through just to see that we've done that
correctly, but that's how I understood the action of the City Council at the last
meeting~ Thank you, Mr~ President~ I just wanted to point out those Items on the
Consent Agenda.
Rountree: I appreciate it. Gary, do you have any comments on those Findings?
ITEM J.
FINDINGS OF FACTS AND CONSLUSIONS OF LAW: REQUEST
FOR VACATION OF TWO 10-FOOT WIDE PUBLIC UTILITY
EASEMENTS BY W.H. MOORE COMPANY, LOTS 5 AND 6 OF
BLOCK 1, MERIDIAN BUSINESS PARK:
Smith: Yes. I had a couple things, Mr. President. In the Consent on Item J.
Rountree: Okay.
Smith: Request for vacation of two 10-foot wide public utility easements by W.H.
Moore Company; the body of the Findings addresses the tvvo 10-foot easements.
The title of the Order only addresses Lots 5 and 6. Lots 6, 7 and 8 should also
be included of Block 1. There were two locations of the easements. One was
along the lot line common to 5 and 6, the other easement was along a lot line
common to Lots 6, 7 and 8.
Rountree: Do you have that, Mr. Berg? (inaudible) have to make a motion?
Okay.

Rountree: Anything else, Gary?

FINDINGS OF FACTS AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
REQUEST FOR PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR OVERLAND MINI-
STORAGE SUBDIVISION BY OVERLAND MINI-STORAGE, LLC

Stiles: I didn't - I just had a couple of things. On the Overland Mini-Storage,
Item M, page 4. There was just an extra - under Item 2, it mentions - has the
adopted Planning and Zoning Administrator and City Engineer recommendations
as follows, and then there's nothing under it. That's just - needs to be taken out
because it's repeated.
Rountree: Item 2? Delete it?
Stiles: Pardon me? It has the conditions of approval are as follows to wit, and
then the next two lines need to be deleted because those are repeated later.
ITEM N.
FINDINGS OF FACTS AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR 96-UNIT
APARTMENT COMPLEX (PROPOSED COBBLESTONE
VILLAGE) BY STAMAS CORPORATION/IONIC ENTERPRISES,
INC~ - SOUTHWEST CORNER OF LOCUST GROVE &
FRANKLIN:
Stiles: On Item N1 Page 18, it references a site plan. On the very last line, it
says City of Meridian, City Clerk's Office on August 25th, 1995. That should be
'99. On Page 24, Item 2.32 and 2.33, those should be 48 feet instead of 43 feet.
Item 2.35, there's a typo in the second line that should read "of' instead of zero,
one.
Rountree: What Item was that, again?
Stiles: 2.35.

Bird: Thanks, Shari.
Stiles: I can't quite recall if your motion was - you know, you changed those
buildings to two-story, the ones adjacent to the Robbersons on Cobblestone
Village. Those apartments - that apartment complex, you've made those two-
story buildings. Were you letting them replace those units they lost there in other
buildings, or was it going to reduce it down to 92 units? I don't recall.
Rountree: My recollection would be that would have reduced the number of
units, not in compensation for.
Stiles: Okay. So then I believe we would need to change the approval that it's
for the conditional use is granted for 92 units.
Rountree: Okay.
Stiles: And Page 6 of 8 of the Order of Conditional Approval, Item 2.30, the
reference to August 25th, 1995 should be changed to 1999; also 2.32 and 2.33,
the 43 feet should be changed to 48 feet. Then the -let's see.

Stiles: Item Q, just wanted a clarification from legal counsel, it's the application
was for single-family residential to commercial, but I didn't know if as a clean-up
item, maybe need to change that footer that the Decision of Order is amending
the Comprehensive Plan from single-family to mixed/planned use development.
It appears to be okay in the text, I just -

Stiles: I was wondering where the five-foot - we didn)t ask for a five-foot
pedestrian pathway to there) did we?
Gigray: I'm just going off of the notes that I took. There was a reference-
Stiles: The comment that was made at the meeting was that we wanted to make
sure that they had five-foot pedestrian pathways wherever they went because
they've constructed the huge mailbox structures right in the middle of the
sidewalk, and we wanted them to flare out those sidewalks so they had a
minimum walking path of five feet. But it didn)t involve the -
*** End of Side 1 ***
Stiles: - that'll probably just remain dirt. I doubt Nampa Meridian is going to
permit any mention of a pedestrian pathway along that. It'll just be there.
Bird: That was Item 36 (inaudible).

Gordon: Yes) sir.

Re: Engineering Agreements - Miscellaneous and Sewer Trunk Une
Mayor: Here are two engineering agreements for work. relating to our sanitary sewer system. I would
appreci~~.~ it if these could be placed on the agenda for the December 7Ut City Council meeting.
The foll~i1g.~.~~. a brief explanation of each agreement.
1. "1999\~::.Trunk Sewer Extension Proiect": This design project will result in the installation

and iff2rrQ~9Q of a 30 inch diameter sewer line to the "headworks" of the wastewater treatment

.........~.......-....~~....... .,._u....... _d__
Plan~~;~~~ktension of that pipe approximately 300 lineal feet to the northeast, under the
.................~.~,......._~-.--..-......-.
Cre~_~~~~~ral. At that point the developer of the proposed mini-storage facility will connect and
exte~l1e:trunk through his project and out to Ten Mile Road for Mure extension and connection to
the "No-Name" sewer trunk. This project is a little complex, design wise, because of the connection
to the headworks and having to deal with existing underground facilities on the treatment facility site.
This complexity is indicative of the proposed engineering costs, as relates to the estimated cost of
construction.
2. "1998 Sewer Master Plan Analvsis of Development ConceDts": This agreement will allow us to
consult with JUS, as needed, for assistance in detennining impacts of proposed dewlopments on
our sanitary sewer system master plan. Much of this type of analysis will be done "in houseJJ,
however, there are times that we need assistance from JUS, because they put the computer
analysis program together for us and have a very good understanding of our system and obviously
the operations of the computer model.

Re: Ordinance Amending 1-8-1 and Ordinance Adopting the New City
Code
Dear Will:
I am enclosing the original and a copy of the Ordinance which is required
to be passed to adopt the new Meridian City Code. I recommend the following steps in
regard to this matter:
Step no. 1: I have recommended that the Mayor and City Council
authorize the submission of the new code amendments in the Zoning Ordinance to the
Planning and Zoning Commission for public hearing and recommendation to the City
Council.
Step no. 2: If this is authorized and with the permission of the Mayor
relative to the setting of the agenda items for the Council meetings, this enclosed
ordinance should be placed on the agenda at the time the Recommendations of th.e
Planning and Zoning Commission are received and at the time the matter of the
amendments to the Zoning Ordinance are set for public hearing.
Step no. 3: Mter the public hearing is completed the Council can then
proceed to pass the enclosed ordinance adopting the Nevv Code.
Please also be advised that I have a number of ordinances that I am
preparing that include both needed legislative changes which are operational matters,
Will Berg, City Clerk
September 1, 1999
Page 2
and other ordinances which will fLx minor corrections which are necessary to the new
Code. As we submit those for consideration they should be held pending final action on
the new Code. This will involve all new ordinances for consideration. Once the new
Code is on the agenda for consideration you and I should review all of these with the
Mayor for permission to place on the City Council Meeting agenda following the
adoption of the new Code~
Very truly yours,
Enclosure

RE:
2 New Police Vehicles (Replacement)
Chevrolet has reentered the police vehicle market with the, ~pala V -6, front
wheel drive. ,.
The Impala has the same horsepower as the Ford V -8, and is $1,461.57 less
than the Ford. Chevrolet let Meridian Police Department test drive one, and the officers
would like to test one for a year.
I have obtained quotes on (1) one Ford Crown Victoria and (1) one Chevrolet
Impala totaling $40,764.43. (See attached)
I also agree with Lieutenant Fuchs and believe that we should stay local, Meridian
Ford and Roundtree Chevrolet.

Bill,
Since I gave you recommendations on the purchase of the new patrol vehicles, I
been thinking that going with the two low bids maybe lower in cost in the short run, but
higher in cost in the long run. There is a difference of only $84.25 between Meridian
Ford and Dan Wiebold Ford. It takes about 45 minutes longer combined to travel to Dan
Wiebold Ford than to Meridian Ford. That is about 3 trips before the $84.25 savings are
used up. The cost of two officers taking the vehicle over to Dan Wiebold Ford.
As for the difference between Edmark Chevrolet and Rountree Chevrolet it is
$153.43. This would take about 6 trips before the savings are used up.
Though the initial cost of purchasing the vehicles through Dan Wiebold Ford and
Edma,rk Chevrolet is cheaper in the long run I believe that it will cost the City Of
Meridian more.
I would recommend that the Chevrolet Impala be purchased at Roundtree
Chevrolet for $19,651.43, and the Ford Crown Victoria be purchased at Meridian Ford
for $21,113.00. This is for a total price of$40,764.43.

Re: Engineering Agreements - Miscellaneous and Sewer Trunk Una
Mayor: Here are two engineering agreements for work relating to our sanitary sewer system. I would
appreci~~,- it if these could be placed on the agenda for the December 701 City Council meeting.
The foll~[~li~_ a brief explanation of each agreement
................~r......'_.............~~--........
. ~ ~.. ~ ~............... ~... ~ ~........ ~... +
.............~......~.................................
......_........~-~ .~.....~................."--....~.
1. "199!~~~;nJnk Sewer Extension Project": This design project will result in the installation
and I!~el of a 30 inch diameter sewer line to the "headworks" of the wastewater treatment
plan~~~~-'Xtension of that pipe approximately 300 lineal feet to the northeast, under the
CreC{ii~gral. At that point the developer of the proposed mini-storage facility will connect and
exte~~~~~nk through his project and out to Ten Mile Road for future extension and connection to
the "No-Name" sewer trunK This project is a little complex, design wise. because of the connection
to the headworks and having to deal with existing underground facilities on the treatment facility site.
This complexity is indicative of the proposed engineering costs, as relates to the estimated cost of
construction.
2. "1998 Sewer Master Plan Analvsis of Development Concepts": This agreement will allow us to
consult with JUS, as needed, for assistance in detennining impacts of proposed developments on
our sanitary sewer system master plan. Much of this type of analysis will be done "in houseJJ,
however, there are times that we need assistance from JUB, because they put the computer
analysis program together for us and have a very good understanding of our system and obviously
the operations of the computer model.

December 3, 1999
Suaaested City Council Action:
1. "1999 WWTP Trunk Sewer Extension Proiect": Approve of the engineering agreement with
JUB Engineers, Inc., of Boise, Idaho to develop the design, plans and specifications for
construction of approximately 300 lineal feet of 30 inch diameter sewer line from the Waste
WaterTreatment Plant (WWTP) headworks northeast under the Creason Lateral for the cost of
$17,489 (Lump Sum) and $6,981 (Time and Materials Estimate) and to authorize Mayor Corrie to
sign the agreement with attest by the City Clerk.
2. "1998 Sewer Master Plan Analvsis of Development ConceIJtS": Approve of the engineering
agreement with JUB Engineers, Inc. of Boise, Idaho to provide engineering review and analysis to
support the Meridian Department of Public Works with the evaluation of sewer service
alternatives, on an on-call basis at a time and material cost using a payroll rate multiplier for
overhead of 3.17, and to authorize Mayor Corrie to sign the agreement with attest by the City
Clerk.

IDAHO:
SECTION 1: That sub-paragraphs 1.,2.,4., and 9. of sub-section B of Section
IV of the Personnel Policy Manual are hereby repealed.
SECTION 2: That sub-section B of Section IV of the Personnel Policy Manual
is hereby amended by the addition thereto of new sub-paragraphs 1 through 21 and
re-numbering the remaining sllb-paragraphs of sub-section B to read as follovvs:
B. COMPENSATION POLICIES AND PRACTICES
1. Objective and Definitions
The purpose of this sub-section is to provide guidelines for consistent administration of
the compensation program and movement of employee from position to position (i.e.,
promotion, transfer, demotion, etc.). The City believes that employees should be paid for
their performance and the contributions they make as employees of the City of
Meridian. This philosophy is known as "Pay for. Performance".
"In-guideline": approvals require all levels of management signature in the chain of
command (starting with the Supervisor).
"Out-of-Guideline": approvals require all levels of management signature in the chain
of command and the Mayor.
"A promotion": is a reassignment of an employee to a position in a higher salary/wage
range or grade than the employee's prior position.
REVISIONS OF CONIPENSATIONPOLICIES AND PRACTICES PAGE 1 OF 14
(<
itA demotion": is a reassignment to a position of lower salary/wage range than the
employee's prior position.
"A transfer": is a lateral move to a different job in the same grade.
itA documented vvarning": is an action taken when and employee's behavior is
inconsistent vvith the city's statement of conduct and has received a vvritten notice
describing such conduct.
"A short-term (less than three (3) calendar months) reassignment": is not considered as
a promotion, transfer, or demotion.
itA pay review": is, conducted when a wage or salary adjustment is being considered.
itA performance review": considers various factors of the employee's fulfillment of
his/her job duties.
"Reassignment to another shift": is not considered a promotion/ transfer unless meeting
the above criteria.
2. Pay Program
2.1 Annual Increase Amounts
The Mayor and City Council determine pay increases as budgets are set and tax
levies are authorized. Pay given for any position within" the City is subject to the
annual budgetary process and as such may be subject to increase or decrease
from fiscal budget year to year. The head of the department may make
suggestions about salary compensation and other pay system concerns but the
final decision regarding compensation levels rest with the Mayor and City
Council. The Mayor and City Council reserve the right to make budget
adjustments, and consequently pay adjustments, during the course of the fiscal
budget year to deal with other circumstances which they think justify changes in
entity expenditures.
Employees will receive the increase according to the mid-point of their current
grade range. After considering the employee's performance as provided here in
this sllb-section, the percentage increase will be determined. This amount is
then multiplied by the mid-point of the employee's grade and added to the
current rate. For example, an employee is in a grade range with a mid-point of
$10.00. The individual is given a 5% increase based on his/her performance.
The employee's current rate is $9.25. The employee's ne\rv rate would be $9.75
($10.00 X .05 = $0.50 + $9.25 = $9.75).
The increase amOllnts can be adjusted. Contact Human Resources for the latest
schedule.
REVISIONS OF COMPENSATION POLICIES AND PRACTICES PAGE 2 OF 14
2.2 Employees Currently Over the Maximum of Their Grade Range
These employees will continue to receive increases as if they vvere vvithin the
range for one (1) year. If after one (1) year the employee is above the range
maximum, he/she will be frozen until recaptured in the range.
2.3 Compliance vvith State and Federal Pay Acts
The City shall comply with all State and Federal pay acts respecting the
compensation of employees for services performed in the public service.
3. Review Schedule
03.1 Current Employees
Current employees will be given a review on October 1st of each year unless
experiencing a date altering event as prescribed by policy. Upon completion of
the review current employees are eligible for a merit increase based on
performance.
3.2 Nevv Hires
Employees hired on or after October 1, 1998 will receive a review at six (6)
months, and will be eligible for an merit increase based on performance at twelve
(12) months effective on their employment start date and on the employee's
anniversary thereafter unless experiencing a date altering event as prescribed by
policy.
Employees in the police department will receive a review after one (1) year of
service, and will be eligible for a merit increase based on performance that vvill
be effective on the anniversary date of hire, unless experiencing a date altering
event prescribed by policy.
Employees in the fire department will receive a review after one (1) year of
service; merit increases are determined by the union contract.
3.3 Interim Increases (Changes in Anniversary Date)
Each time an increase or decrease occurs, the date of this adjustment will be
used to determine the next review. For example, if an employee receives an
increase or promotion on March 15, his/her next review is due twelve (12)
months after the wage increase.
Supervisors may delay or request early increases on an exception basis. Such a
review will be approved through Uout-of-gtlideline" approval channels. The
exception to this is a pay review that is delayed because the employee is on a
REVISIONS OF COMPENSATION POLICIES AND PRACTICES PAGE 3 OF 14
documented disciplinary warning for which he/ she has signed an
acknowledgment of receipt.
3.4 Rehires
Employees who have terminated their employment will have their revievv date
based upon when they rehired.
3.5 Employees on Document Written vVarning
These employees vviII not be eligible for pay increase until after the warning has
expired. If an increase is granted after the warning period has expired, the
anniversary is not adjusted, but remains the same date as the scheduled revievv.
For example, and employee's scheduled revievv is October 1. The individual is
placed on an employee signed warning on September 15. The employee
sllccessfully fulfills the outlined warning obligations and the warning expires on
March 15. The increase would be effective on March 15 and the employee's next
review will be on October 1 in the following year.
3.6 Promoted Employees
See section 15 of the "Promotion/Transfer" policy.
4. Differentials
4.1 Lead Differential
Lead Workers will be raised to the greater of: two grades above the lowest
position in the work group for which they are responsible or one grade higher
than the grade of the top position in the work group. For example, if a Lead
Worker coordinates employees who are in a grade A2 and As he/she would be
placed in Grade A4. However, if the work group consists of only A4's, the Lead
Worker would be placed in the A6 grade.
4.2 Other Differentials (Police Department)
Differentials (e.g., skill pay, certification) are additions to the base wage and will
be removed when the specific condition is no longer required.

significantly changed, and slot new positions.
7. Interim Increases

including the Mayor. The next review date will then be derived from this adjustment
date.
8. Procedure
8.1 Notice of Review Date

increase, Human Resources will send a list of employees to be reviewed to the
designated supervisor, manager or department head.

Evalllation form for each of the employees noted in section 8.1 and indicate the

(
tvvo (2) vveeks after receipt of the list by the supervisor.
8.S Approvals
8.3.1 If the recommendation is "in-guidelines", the immediate supervisor

Action request form is sent to Human Resources and the Performance
Evaluation and a copy of the Personnel Action Request form is sent to
the immediate supervisor.

Request form and related Performance Evaluation(s) are sent to all levels
of management and up to and including the Mayor for approval.

filing.
8.7 No Preliminary Discussion with Employee
No discussion of the increase should be held with the employee prior to receipt
of fully approved documents.
8.8 Responsibility for Review Outcome
The immediate supervisor should take responsibility for the amount of the
review. In no case should a supervisor lead an employee to believe they tried for
a larger increase, but could not get it approved by "upper management."
8.9 Wage/Salary Increase Philosophy
Increases are "earned by the employee not "given" by management. All
increases are earned by merit. Merit considers and measures job performance
REVISIONS OF COMPENSATION POLICIES AND PRACTICES PAGE 6 OF 14

against job standards or established goals and objectives. Attitude can also be
considered if it affects the job performance of the employee or other employee( s).
9. Employees on Leave of Absence (LOA) and Layoff(LO)
9.1 Revievv Date

prorated based upon time service.
If the employee has been on LOA or LO for more than one-half(~) of the total
days for the review period, the review will be forfeited.
9.2 Pro-ration of Increase
When increases are given job performance is, among other factors, a major
consideration. If the employee has been on active status for less than the annual
review period of twelve (12) months, an increase will be calculated from a
proportion of actual mon ths of active status worked compared to total number of
months in the review period.
Example: An employee is on active status for six (6) months during his/her
review period. He/ she is reviewed on October 1. This individual would receive
six-twelve's (6/12) or 50% of his/her regularly scheduled amount.
10. Returning [rom LOA/La or Transferring to a Position in a Lower Grade
Employees returning or transferring to a position in a lower salary/wage grade
will assume the new salary/wage range. Factors considered in determining the
employee's salary/wage in the new range include: speed, accuracy, attitude,
length of service in the job class prior to the leave of absence or layoff, the
salary/wage grade range of the new position, grade range penetration of the
employee relative to experience level, etc.
10.1 Minimum to Mid-Point
Generally, employees will be placed between the entry and market point of the
range for the position they are being placed.
10.2 Under the Minimum and Over the Mid-Point of the Range
Employees' rate can be placed in these locations through "out-of-guideline"
approval( s ).

DEPARTMENT REPORTS
B.
FIRE CHIEF - KENNY BOWERS
2. AUTOMATIC AID AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF BOISE:
Bowers: The next item is an automatic aid agreement between the City of Boise,
the City of Meridian and the Meridian Rural Fire Protection District. Basically
what the deal this is, is Boise City will come into our area out of Medicaid
Agreement and help us at St. Luke's and also the Blue Cross building at this
time. I was not able to get an original draft. I've tried all week, last week and this
week to get an original so you guys could look at it also, but this is the draft that
was sent to Bill Gigray. He has checked it out and he does not have a problem
with it. Do you guys have any comments on it?
Rountree: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: Having heard the recent news broadcast about this particular item, I
suspect it ought to have a no-whining clause in it.
Bowers: Yeah. We would surely put that on the last page.
Corrie: We never did find out what was going on, did we?
Bowers: That really hit me along side the head. I wasn't ready for that.
Rountree: I don't think any of us were, and I think it was uncalled for and just
bad news day or something. I think we ought to explore that before we enter into
this. I don't know when you're going to execute it, but (inaudible) -
Bird: I agree with Charlie. I'd like to know where that come from.
Rountree: But that kind of stuff, it doesn't do any of us any good.
Bowers: Talking with Steve Dennis and also talking with Ran Ross on the
subject, there's just too many stories that I can't figure out where it came from
either, you know. Whether it came from somebody in our district was whining
about it, and I don't - why would they do that because we're the ones that are
getting the best part of this at this time of these agreements.

December 7, 1999

Corrie: Yeah.
Bowers: Excuse me.
Corrie: Go ahead.
Bowers: And also, we will not be responding to their area unless we are called
for. The reason being, they have annexed now that big chunk of land through
there, and that was north Ada Counties, and they will start hydrant, putting
hydrants and water in that area right away, they said, by United Water. We will
not have to take our tanker to their - but I still - we still need help, of course, at
Blue Cross and St. Luke's.
Rountree: It's a good deal for all of us.
Bowers: I don't want to turn down free help. We did get slapped in the face.
Corrie: I had a conversation with Mayor Coles, and he's - last conversation he
hasn't been able to find out anything either. But you, we are still pursuing it.
Okay. Any further discussion on the automatic agreemelJt Boise City and
Meridian, Meridian Rural?
Rountree: do we want to see a final version -
Bird: (inaudible)
Corrie: We need a Resolution, don't we?
Resolution? Does this take a Resolution?
Is there a final - is there a
Bowers: Yes. Yes, it does.
(inaudible discussion amongst Council members)
Rountree: I guess my concern on it is all we have is something that's got "draft"
on it.
Bird: Yeah. All we got is something that says "draft."
Rountree: Is it something we're going to want to change on their end -
Gigray: (inaudible) indicate we've done one at one time.

Corrie: Any changes that you're aware of?

Bird: There was no changes, Kenny, to the one we got in?
Gigray: Point of information.
Corrie: Mr. Gigray.
Gigray: Mr. Mayor and members of the Council, if I could ask Chief Bowers, are
we just kind of waiting for final approval from Boise? Because as I remember, we
kind of decided, and you ran it by the Rural, and we were all copasthetic about
what needed to be done, and then we were kind of getting some changes from
Boise, and that was where I thought we kind of left it.
Bowers: This was the final draft from Boise, and this is what they will approve of.
Gigray: You could go ahead and authorize it tonight as long as the final draft
looks like this, you're okay. We'll have to work with the Clerk's office, but he has
this draft, so he can look - we can verify that with the Mayor if you're ready to go.

the Planl1il1g and Zoning Comlnission on this application, and having duly
considered the matter, the City Council malces the following Findings of Fact,
Conclusions of Law, Decision and Order Amending Comprehensive Plan Generalized
Land Use Map.
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. A notice of the tilne, place, a11d a summary of the proposed alnendlue11t
plan to be discussed at the November 3, 1999, hearing was published fifteen (15)
days prior to said hearing; copies of all notices were made available to newspaper,
radio, and television stations; the matter was duly considered at the November 3,
1999, public hearing; and the public was given full opportunity to express COlnn1el1ts
and submit evidence.
2. There has been compliance with all notice and hearing requirements set
forth in the City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan and Idaho Code S 67-6509.
3. The property which is the subject of the application for alnel1dmel1t is

distance of 2618.81 feet;
Thence N 89021'19" E a distance of 1759.40 feet to a point;
Thence S 3059'54" W a distance of 755.96 feet to a point;
Thence S 89021'20" W a distance of 1706.67 feet to a point;
Thence N 0000'05" W a distance of 753.53 feet to the POINT OF
BEGINNING.
This parcel contains 29.98 acres and is subject to any easements existing or in
use.
4. The Applicant is QUEENLAND ACRES, INC., of 1032 E. Cayn1an
Drive, Meridian, Idaho. The Applicant filed a written Comprehensive Plan
alnendlnent application.
5. Pursuant to the application, the affected property is generally described
as a parcel on the south side of Overland Road approximately 1/4 mile west of
Meridian Road, westward to Stoddard Road.
6. The application consists of twelve one-acre parcels a11d 20 acres of
farmland for a total of approximately 30 acres, all of which are outside of the City
limits but abut the City limits, with the one acre parcels currently zoned County Rl
and the farmland zoned as County RT Rural Transitional.
7. The Meridial1 Plan11ing a11d Zoni11g COffilnissiol1 takes judicial110tice of
its Zoning, Subdivision and Development Ordinances codified at Title 11, Municipal
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW, PAGE 3 OF 15
DECISION AND ORDER AMENDING COMPREHENSIVE
PLAN GENERALIZED LAND USE MAP TO MIXED
PLANNED USE DEVELOPMENT / QUEENLAND ACRES, INC. - CPA-99-006
Code of the City of Meridian and all current zoning maps thereof and the
Comprehensive Plan of the City of Meridian, adopted December 21, 1993, Ord. No.
629-Jan.4, 1994 and Maps and Ordinance establishing the Impact Area Boundary.
8. The Applicant requested the Comprehensive Plan amendment and the
application was not initiated at the request of the City of Meridian.
9. The proposed application requests a Comprehe11sive Plan amendlnent to
change the designation of the subject property from Single Family Residential to
Commercial. The designation change requires an amendment to the Comprehensive
Plan of the City of Meridian as requested by the Applicant. (City of Meridian
COlnprehensive Plan, pg. 78-79).
10. The subject real property has 10 011e-acre parcels zoned R-I with
residential rental houses and which are owned by the Applicant, these parcels have
direct access to Overland Road and additionally there are 20 acres of farmland zoned
as Ada RT Rural Transitional. The Meridian City limits abut the property on the
east and the north. Water a11d sewer is available with extension of lines. The
property is within the Meridian Area of Impact.
11. The conditions or situations which warrant a change being made from
Single Family Residential to Commercial includes the fact that all of the adjoining
property north of Overland Road is zoned C-G and is currently being developed into
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW, PAGE 4 OF 15
DECISION AND ORDER AMENDING COMPREHENSIVE
PLAN GENERALIZED LAND USE MAP TO MIXED
PLANNED USE DEVELOPMENT / QUEENLAND ACRES, INC. - CPA-99-006
commercial businesses. The existing property to the east is also zoned C-G.
Overland Road is a minor arterial with a proposed 96-feet right-of-way. This would
put the roadside within 23-feet of the existing residential houses.
12. The public need for and/or benefit from such a change in the Plan is
it would be appropriate to have commercial property adjacent to Overland Road to
provide a buffer from future residential use anticipated to the south. Controlled
entrance of traffic to Overland Road could be planned. Freeway access is readily
available to allow the public to reach future businesses.
13. No other solutions to the problem are presented by the current policy of
the Plan that are possible or reasonable in that, directly north, existing businesses
include Mountain View Equipment, Intermountain Pet Hospital, Roaring Springs
Water Park, and Boondocks. Currently, Interstate Center has future plans for motel
and restaurant development. It is not reasonable to expect this large, full-scale
commercial development on the north side of Overland Road to be compatible with
single-family housing on the south side. Title 67, Chapter 65, Idaho Code, will not
allow zoning or annexation requests until the Meridian Comprehensive Plan is
alnended.
14. The applicants do not plan to develop the property themselves, but they
do have an interested buyer for a 7 -acre parcel on the west side of RoHo located
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW, PAGE 5 OF 15
DECISION AND ORDER AMENDING COMPREHENSIVE
PLAN GENERALIZED LAND USE MAP TO MIXED
PLANNED USE DEVELOPMENT / QUEENLAND ACRES, INC. - CPA-99-006
across from Roaring Springs Water Park. The purchasers plans include a planned RV
parle for travelers visiting the water park.
IS. Any commercial development would add to Meridian's future tax base
and provide additional customers for existing businesses in Meridian. Costs would be '
paid by future impact fees, increase in tax base, developers, and future businesses.
16. The City has complied with the referral process with Ada County of the
requested amendment of the Comprehensive Plan.
17. The Applicant filed a written application for Comprehensive Plan
amendment with the consent and permission of the owners of the real properties
which include Queenland Acres, Inc., Theron Scott and Carol Lotspiech.
18. The Meridian City Council takes judicial notice of its Zoning,
Subdivision and Development Ordinances codified at Title 11, Municipal Code of
the City of Meridian and all current zoning maps thereof and the Comprehensive
Plan of the City of Meridian, adopted December 21, 1993, Ord. No. 629-Jan.4, 1994
and Maps and Ordinance establishing the Impact Area Boundary.
19. The Planning and Zoning Commission has recommended to the City
Council approval of an amendment to the City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan
Generalized Land Use Map component for the subject real property from Single
Falnily Reside~tial to Mixed Planned Use Development which will call for
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW, PAGE 6 OF 15
DECISION AND ORDER AMENDING COMPREHENSIVE
PLAN GENERALIZED LAND USE MAP TO MIXED

commercial development along Overland Road, while giving the Planning and Zoning
Commission, and the City Council, greater control over the uses that develop to
ensure compatibility with surrounding development, and as an entryway corridor to
the City of Meridia11.

B. COMPENSATION POLICIES AND PRACTICES
1. Objective and Definitions
The purpose of this sub-section is to provide guidelines for consistent
administration of the compensation program and movement of employee from
position to position (i.e., promotion, transfer, demotion, etc.). The City
believes that elnployees should be paid for their performance and the
contributions they mal(e as employees of the City of Meridian. This
philosophy is l<.nown as "Pay for Performance".

c11ain of comn1and (starting vvith the Supervisor).
"Ollt-of-Gt.lideline": approvals reqllire all levels of nlanagement signatllre in
the chain of COlTI111and and the Ivlayor.

salary/vvage ra11ge or grade than the employee's prior position.
"A demotion": is a reassignment to a position of lovver salary/wage ra11ge thal1
the employee's prior position.
"A transfer": is a lateral move to a differe11t job in the same grade.
"A documented warning": is an action taleen when and employee's behavior is
inconsistent vvith the city's statement of condllct and has received a vvritten
notice describing such conduct.
"A short-term (less than three (3) calendar months) reassignment": is not
considered as a pron1otion, transfer, or demotion.
"A pay revievv": is conducted vvhen a vvage or salary adjustment is bei11g
considered.
"A perforn1ance review": considers various factors of the employee's
fulfillment of his/her job duties.
"Reassignment to another shift": is not considered a prolTIotion/transfer unless

2. Pay Program
2.1 Annual Increase Amounts
The Mayor and City Council determine pay increases as budgets are set
and tax levies are authorized. Pay given for any position within the City
is subject to the annual budgetary process and as such may be sllbject to
increase or decrease from fiscal budget year to year. The head of the
department may rnalee suggestions about salary compensation and other
pay system concerns bllt the final decision regarding compensatio11
levels rest with the Mayor and City Council. The Mayor and City
COllncil reserve the right to malee budget adjustments, and conseqllently
(
pay adjust111e11ts, dllring the COllrse of the fiscal blldget year to deal \vith
other circumstances which they think justify changes in entity
expenditures.
Employees will receive the increase according to the mid-point of their
curre11t grade range. After considering the employee's perfor111a11ce as
provided here in this sub-sectio11, the percentage increase vvill be
determined. This amount is then multiplied by the mid-point of the
employee's grade and added to the current rate. For example, a11
eluployee is in a grade range vvith a Inid-point of $10.00. The i11dividllal
is given a 5% increase based on his/her perforlnance. The elnployee's
current rate is $9.25. The employee's new rate would be $9.75 ($10.00
X .05 = $0.50 + $9.25 = $9.75).
The increase amOllnts can be adjusted. Contact Human ReSOl.lrCeS for
the latest schedule.
2.2 Employees Currently Over the Maximum of Their Grade Range
These employees will continue to receive increases as if they were within
the range for one (1) year. If after one (1) year the employee is above
the range maximum, he/she will be frozen until recaptured in the range.

Supervisors may delay or request early increases on a11 exceptioll basis.

than the annual revievv period of tvvelve (12) months, an increase will be
calclllated froIn a proportion of actual months of active status worl(ed
compared to total number of months in the revievv period.
Example: An employee is 011 active status for six (6) months during
his/her review period. He/she is reviewed on October 1. This individual

amount.

order here. Bear with me. I'm substituting for the Mayor who is going to be gone

for a white this evening, I don't know how long. I'm the City Council President,
Charlie Rountree~ The first items on the agenda this evening is the Consent
Agenda~ Any discussion?
Bird: I have none.
Rountree: Mr. Bentley~
Bentley: I have none.
Rountree: I'll entertain a motion on the Consent Agenda.
Bird: Mr. President. On the Consent Agenda, I move that Item L be tabled until
the 21st, I believe, December 21st~
Rountree: January 4th.
Bird: Okay. To January 4th. On the rest of it, I move that we approve the
Consent Agenda with the Staffs comments from our Pre-Council meeting
recorded, and that we have voice vote because we have some contracts involved
here.
Rountree: You all done? Do I hear a second?
Bentley: Second.
Rountree: It's been moved and seconded that we approve the Consent Agenda
with tabling of Item L and including the Staff comments on the Items as
discussed in the Pre-Council briefing. Voice vote; Councilman Bentley.
Bentley: Aye.
Rountree: Councilman Bird.
Bird: Aye.
Rountree: Councilman Rountree; aye. All in favor. The Consent Agenda is
passed.
MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES, ONE ABSENT

AND CLERICAL TEXTUAL CHANGES TO THE ZONING AND
SUBDIVISION ORDINANCES AND WHICH WILL PROVIDE FOR

THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A NEW FEE FOR COPIES OF THE
ZONING AND DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE IN THE AMOUNT
OF $25.00 AND RECODIFICATION OF NEW CODE BOOK FOR
THE CITY OF MERIDIAN:
Rountree: First Item on the Regular Agenda is a continued public hearing for the
purpose of reviewing and considering the Planning and Zoning Commission's
consideration of various technical and clerical textual changes to the Zoning and
Subdivision Ordinances. Any discussion?
Bird: Give us time to find it, will you?
Rountree: It's on the second page.
Bird: This is only Consent Agenda here.
(inaudible discussion amongst Council members)
Rountree: 1'1) open up the public hearing on a review and consideration of
Planning and Zoning Commission's Subdivision Ordinance change in the new
recodification and new Code Book. Staff, any comments?
Stiles: No.
Rountree: Mr. Gigray.
Gigray: Mr. President, members of the Council, I simply comment that this went
through the Planning and Zoning process and the public hearing process
because of the fact that my concern that there was a - we increased a fee for, I
believe, is it the Comprehensive Plan packet, $25, and there were various little
technical changes in the Zoning Ordinance besides a recodification of it to
splitting of the titles of the Subdivision Ordinance and the Zoning Ordinance to
Titles 11 and 12 where now they are only in Title 11. Since that was in a sense,
a change to the zoning Ordinance, we felt it was proper to have a public hearing
and go through the process as required by the Land Use Planning Act. This is
really part and parcel of the adoption of the new City Code which is on the
agenda this evening. But it's not substantive. It's not like it's changing zones or
designations of zones or conditions of zones. It's not that kind of change.
Rountree: Any questions of Mr. Gigray?
Bird: I have none.
Rountree: Anybody from the public wish to testify on this particular item? Seeing
none I would entertain a motion to close the public hearing.
(

Bentley: So moved.
Bird: Second.
Rountree: Been moved and seconded to close the public hearing; all those in
favor?
MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES, ONE ABSENT
Rountree: Recommendations?
Gigray: Mr. President, point of information for the President and Council
members. You don't really need to do anything on this public hearing. It's just to
meet the requirements of the Land Use Planning Act. The action that you will
take on this will be when you adopt Item No.2.
Rountree: Okay. Thank you, Mr. Gigray. Item 1 will be deferred until Item 2.
ITEM 2.
CONTINUED 11/16/99: ORDINANCE NO.
REVISING, CODIFYING AND COMPILING THE GENERAL
ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF MERIDIAN:
Rountree: Item 2 is a continuation from our last meeting, November 16th,
Ordinance revising and codifying and compiling the general Ordinances of the
City of Meridian. Any questions of Mr. Gigray on this particular item?
Bentley: I have none.
Bird: I have none.
Rountree: Staff, do you have any input on this particular item? What would the
Ordinance No. be, Mr. Clerk? 849. Mr. Clerk, if you'd read the proposed
Ordinance by Title.
Berg: Thank you, Mr. President. Ordinance No. 849: An Ordinance for revising,
codifying and compiling the general Ordinances of the City of Meridian providing
for the adoption of the City, excuse me, for the Meridian City Code as prepared
by Sterling Codifiers, Inc., and providing for a method of procural codification and
providing for an effectiveness of existing City Ordinances and providing that
certain types of Ordinances shall not be included in the City Code and declaring
it unlawful to change or amend by additions or deletions any part or portions of
the Code to cause the law of the City to be misrepresented thereby and providing
an effective date.
Rountree: Thank you. This is a public hearing. Anybody in the public wish to
testify on this particular Ordinance? Seeing none, motion to close the hearing.

Rountree: All those in favor?
MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES, ONE ABSENT
Rountree: We need a motion to take action on this particular Ordinance for
whatever your pleasure is.
Bird: Ask if anybody wants to read it in their entirety.
Rountree: Oh. Yeah. Novice mayor tonight. Is there anybody out there that
would really like to hear this in its entirety? Thank you.
Bentley: Mr. Mayor. Mr. President.
Rountree: Mr. Bentley.
Bentley: I move we adopt the Ordinance No. 849 with a suspension of rules.

Bentley: Aye.
Rountree: Mr. Bird.

Rountree: Mr. Rountree; aye.
ITEM 3.
CONTINUED 11/16/99: RESOLUTION NO.
BUILDING PERMIT FEE SCHEDULE:
ADOPTING
Rountree: Item No.3, I'll open the public hearing on Ordinance adopting building
permit fee schedule. Mr. Smith, any comments? Mr. Gigray?
Gigray: Mr. President, members of the Council, this basically adopts the same
fee structure that you have now. I believe there are just a few changes of
categories, and that's why this is on here, and also as part of your action in Item
No.2, the 1997 Building Code is now a part of the City's Building Code which is
(
Meridian City Council Meeting
December 7, 1999

now updated, and that's why we needed to bring these fees current with the 1997
Building Code. That's why it is before you. It's to my knowledge this has been -
I know it has been approved by the Building Inspector and by Public Works.
Rountree: This is a public hearing. Anybody from the public wish to testify? Mr.
Clerk, would you read this by Title and give us an Ordinance No?
Berg: Thank you, Mr. President. Just a question for the attorney, if I may. I
have a Resolution No. on my page. Does this need to be Ordinance or
Resolution?
Gigray: I believe it's a Resolution. Isn't it a Resolution for adoption, the fees?
think that's right. I don't know. Is it noted -
Rountree: It's noticed as an Ordinance.
Berg: It's noticed as an Ordinance, but I have a Resolution ready.
Gigray: Yeah. That's what it should be.
Berg: Okay. Thank you.
Rountree: So there's no need for reading of the Resolution by Title. Resolution
No. is - again, to get us back on track, is there anyone wishing to testify on this
Resolution for building fee schedule, Nos. 273? Seeing none, did I close the
hearing?
Bird: So moved.
Bentley: Second.
Rountree: Been moved and seconded to close the hearing.
Bird: Mr. President.
Rountree: All those in favor?
MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES, ONE ABSENT
Rountree: Okay.

building permit schedule.

APPOINTMENT OF PLANNING AND ZONING ADMINISTRATOR:
Rountree: Open the public hearing on Ordinance for the appointment of
Planning and Zoning Administrator.
Gigray: Mr. President.
Rountree: Mr. Gigray.
Gigray: Mr. President, members of the Council, this particular agenda item, I
believe, is consideration of an Ordinance, and I might report to the Council that
this has been prepared now that the new Code is in place, we have, as you
know, been trying to search it for potential corrections to meet current practice in
the City as it will come about in the next year for appointments of various City
officers and Department Heads, I was requested to prepare an amendment as I
had pointed out, I think, in former workshops that there was some omissions in
the section as to some of the appointments, so as you can see, this proposed
Ordinance would delete the reference to the City Public Works Superintendent
which is no longer an appointed position, and would add a Planning and Zoning
Administrator which is provided for actually in another part of the Code under the
Zoning Title, but this makes sure that these are all together under the
administrative section of the Code, adds the Public Works Director, Parks and
Recreation Director and Human Resources Director. And - Am I looking at the
wrong Item?
Rountree: No. That's the correct Item. Anything else, Mr. Gigray?
Gigray: There's a deletion of "and assistants" which was a part of the Fire
Department, and as my understanding in speaking with the Mayor that that's no
longer a practice, so that's why that's stricken. I would also mention as an
ancillary, in my report, I would report on at least, and these are drafts not for your
consideration tonight, but for your information, and we still need input from the

various affected departments, proposed draft for the creation and Ordinance of
Public Works Department and a Human Resources Department as well as the
designation of Director and Director responsibilities and duties which would be a
follow-up to this, but that will require comment from those affected departments
and wouldn't be for action this evening. Would be a follow-up to this in the next
couple of three meetings.
Rountree: Thank you. Shari, do you have a comment? Gary? Chief? This is a

Rountree: Okay. Mr. Gigray.
Gigray: Mr. President, members of the Council, I would simply report this is the
work of the SWAAC Committee which the Council appointed. President
Rountree served on that Committee. The Committee met throughout the past
year in working out the details because it was my recommendation at the time
that we were approached last year by Sanitary Services to engage in a new
franchise and a revision of the agreement that our existing Ordinance concerning
solid waste services needed to be updated and so that Committee worked very
diligently and this is the net product of that, and this has been held because this
was drafted so it would amend the Meridian City Code which you just passed.
Rountree: Any questions for Mr. Gigray?
Bentley: None.
Rountree: This is a public hearing. Anybody wish to testify on Ordinance 851
related to Sanitary Services? Mr. Clerk, would you read this Ordinance by Title?
It's a long one.
Berg: Thank you, Mr. President. Ordinance No. 851: An Ordinance of the City
of Meridian relating to Sanitary Service System, repealing Chapter 3, Title 7 of
the Meridian City Code; providing for a new Chapter 1, Title 5 of the Meridian
City Code to be known as "Sanity Service System"; providing for definitions,
establishing a responsible authority for the enforcement of the provisions of the
Chapter; providing for compulsory use solid waste collection; providing for solid
waste collection, transportation and disposal without a franchise; providing that it
is unlawful to accumulate solid waste and declaring it to be a public nuisance;
providing for regulation of waste resulting from construction activities and
compost piles; prohibiting open burning and dumping of solid waste; providing for
the regulation of the loading of containers; providing that it is unlawful for
customers to deposit prohibited wastes not in compliance with the ordinance;
defining and making the theft of collecting services unlawful; providing that it is a
violation of the Ordinance for persons to discard solid waste in specified locations
such as streets, alleys, vacant lots, et cetera; providing for the regulation of the
storage of scrap tires; providing for special handling of solid waste materials,
prescribing collection frequency; providing for a Board of Adjustment and its
authority to prescribe rules and regulations and to adjust rates; providing for the
regulation of commercial, residential and multi-family premises service; requiring
a site plan for commercial or multi-family new construction or remodels; providing
tor collection fees and a method of collection and disposition of fees; providing

Rountree: Mr. Gigray.
Gigray: Mr. President, members of the Council, probably to Councilman Bird's
annoyance, I apologize for the - we submitted to the Clerk a memo on November
30th as I was proofing these for City Council meeting, I noticed that the draft that
he had prior to that date referenced as was read Chapter 1, Title 4 being
repealed and unfortunately, that's the old code. The new code is Chapter 1, Title
4 and the Clerk's office should have, and I can give him my copy, if you want, the
reference to Chapter 1, Title 4, it's in - the second line at the top of the Title, and
it's Section 1 on Page 2 of the Ordinance, it says, Chapter 1 of Title 4 of the
Meridian City Code being the same as hereby repealed. That's - and then
you're re-enacting that same Chapter in Section 2.

ITEM 6.
CONTINUED 11/16/99: ORDINANCE NO. TO
PROVIDE FOR THE EXTENSION AND CONNECTION OF
SEWER SERVICE OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS:
Rountree: Item No.6, the Ordinance 852 if it passes to provide for the extension
and connection of sewer service outside the city limits. It is a public hearing. Mr.
Smith, comment? Mr. Gigray.
Smith: Mr. President, Council members, I guess I have a real comment for this
particular Ordinance other than the information that was published in the
Statesman this morning concerning Boise City's attitudes toward extension of
sewer lines into the unincorporated areas, and I think maybe that's a point of
interest that we need to watch.
Rountree: Thank you. Mr. Gigray.
Gigray: Mr. President, members of the Council, as you recall, this Ordinance, I
believe we've discussed before at workshops that the Council's had. This is to
provide a process by which the City facilitates extension and connection of its
sewer system and water system outside of the city limits to provide a
methodology where developers pay for the over-sizing of the need for putting in
new lines to serve new areas, and then they can - the City is authorized to enter
into late-comer fees with those developers so they can recoup some of those
costs not associated directly with their development, but also avoid the need to
have to put in two or three lines to the same area, and it also eliminates from
your presence code provision the double hook-up fee which is provided at this
particular time so that we can bring the provisions of the ordinance more in light
with the engineering and the cost studies which are associated with our regular
fees, but provide the assurance that City funds for the proprietary funds for water
(

and sewer are not used for the extension and enlargement of the sewer and
water system for these types of projects. I believe that the Public Works
Department and Gary have approved, this Ordinance, and we've felt that we have
one project that has pushed this along, and we have - it's been our
recommendation to the Mayor and City Council that this would set a policy that
the City would have - should establish a policy with dealing with these kinds of
requirements, and that's what this Ordinance is designed to do.
Rountree: Again, this is a public hearing. Anyone wish to testify on Ordinance
No. 852, provide for the extension and connection of sewer service and water
service outside the city limits? Mr. Clerk, would you read the proposed
Ordinance 852 by Title only?
Berg: Thank you, Mr. President. Ordinance No. 852: An Ordinance of the City
of Meridian repealing Section 16, Chapter 1 of Title 9, Meridian City Code and
amending Chapter 1 of Title 9 and the addition thereto of a new Section 16 to
provide for the extension and connection of water service outside the city limits
and repealing Sub-section A, Section 26, Chapter 4 of Title 9, Meridian City Code
and amending Section 26, Chapter 4, Title 9, Meridian City Code, by the addition
thereto of a new subsection A to provide for the extension and connection of
sewer service outside the city limits and providing an effective date.
Rountree: Anyone in the audience wish to have the entire Ordinance read?
Seeing that and no desire for testimony, I would accept a motion to close the
public hearing.

ITEM 8.
INTRODUCE ORDINANCE FOR FRANCHISE AGREEMENT TO
PERFORM SOLID WASTE COLLECTION SERVICES:
Rountree: Item 7. Public hearing I'll open for Ordinance 853, solid waste
collection services. Mr. Gigray.
Gigray: Mr. President, members of the Council, I believe you've had handed to
you a packet regarded Agenda Item No.8, and I believe that this Item is covered
in that particular packet. There's a letter from me to the Mayor and Council dated
December 2nd regarding a series of steps associated with this particular matter,
and what this is is an Ordinance as it's required by Idaho Code in the granting of
a franchise that it be done by Ordinance and so that's what this is designed to do
with sanitary services. This is also in conjunction with the development of the
agreement, the franchise agreement to petform solid waste collection and
disposal services. I would report to the Council, and I believe Mr. Sedlicek (sic)
is here in Council chambers, that we have negotiated with his company and his
attorney, Mr. Mark Freeman, we have drafted provisions of the agreement. They
have commented on that agreement. We've run drafts back and forth, made
various corrections and at this point in time, I think that these are both in a
position where myself as part of the staff of the City as well as I understand their
position is to recommend this for passage by the City Council. In order for us to
meet statutory requirements, I would recommend that the Council could receive
this as a report this evening, that the Council should then introduce the
Ordinance granting the franchise, you could even have a first reading, but then
direct the City Clerk to publish the Ordinance, and it has to be published at least
once, and that publication must be 30 days prior to the passage of the
Ordinance, so then the second reading, and then maybe the motion to suspend
the rule would then occur in January to allow enough time for the publication.

Rountree: Any questions for Mr. Gigray? Gary, did you have any comments that
you wanted to make? This is a public hearing. Anybody from the audience wish
to testify? Mr. Clerk, if you would read the proposed Ordinance 853 by Title.
Berg: Thank you, Mr. President. Ordinance No. 853: An Ordinance of the City
of Meridian, Idaho, relating to the granting of a franchise for solid waste collection
and disposal; providing for a title definition setting forth the authority of the City
Council to grant a franchise and license; setting a term of granting a franchise
ordinance for a solid waste collection and disposal to the Sanitary Service, Inc.,
an Idaho Corporation; and setting a term commencing September 9, 1999, and
extending to at least September 30, 2010; providing for a seven-year advance
notice of termination; providing for an acceptance; providing for specific
conditions; providing for general conditions; providing for indemnity; providing for
comprehensive liability and property insurance; providing for limitation on
franchise; providing for assignment of franchise; providing for default by 8SI;
providing for effective invalidity; providing for savings clause; and providing for all
ordinances and resolutions in conflict are repealed and rescinded; and providing

Bird: Get your revised one out. The one we got today.
Rountree: And it's dated December 6th and received December 6th. Cover letter
from Mr. Gigray to the City Clerk. That's Item 8.
Bird: Item 8 is to introduce Ordinance of a franchise agreement to provide solid
waste collection services. Number 7 is Ordinance No. - solid waste collection
services, and this is new, revised agenda of 12/6. Now, if there's another one
out, please give it to Glenn and I.
Rountree: Mr. Gigray.
Gigray: Hopefully I can explain. There's only two Items for consideration.
You've already passed, earlier, on the Ordinance that cleaned up and
modernized your solid waste Ordinance. Now the consideration has to do with
who you grant the franchise to to provide the service, and that's done with two
actions; one action is the granting of that franchise by Ordinance, and that's why
you have an Ordinance for your consideration, which requires prior publication
before it's passed, and it's what needs to be introduced first, and then voted on
finally at a later date after the 30-day publication, and then there is also an
agreement to provide the services which would be entered into with Sanitary
Services in conjunction with your passage of that Ordinance in January.
Rountree: So that's the one we've numbered 853, the action on Ordinance 853
is to approve its publication; correct?
Gigray: Introduce it and approve it for publication by the Clerk with 3D-days
notice, and then set it for final action on the agenda with the Clerk's advice about
when that should be. That's the franchise ordinance.

Subdivision. It goes from south of Overland Road clear to Victory. There are
some significant issues related to the sewer, and I don't know if Gary wants to
address those or have Bruce address those issues. It's not that we're against
the project, it's the fact that one of the few growth management tools we have
available to us is the sewer, and with the introduction of this proposal, we've
already had requests for other annexations of subdivisions all the way to Linder
Road. We're being hit on the north side with the No-Name Trunk Sewer that
Council has put a priority on. With the boring of the sewer under the freeway
near Overland and Eagle, that area is going to explode. Becky's here to make
her case tonight, but Staff is recommending denial of the project.

Rountree: Mr. Smith, any comments?
Smith: Thank you, Mr. President, Council members. For quite some time, the
City Council has had the informal policy concerning pumping of sewage from one
drainage area to another. This particular development would be served at some
future time, or this parcel of ground would be served at some future time, by the
extension of what is known as the Black Cat Sewer Trunk. The proposal that's
being placed before us is to gather the sewage from this development and pump
it into the Ten Mile Drain sewer. In order to facilitate the Ten Mile Drain sewer
accepting this flow, there's a necessity to parallel pipe a length of the existing
sewer from approximately in Crestwood Subdivision from approximately Ten Mile
Drain north on Linder Road to the railroad tracks. This is 326 lots, I believe, as
proposed. Your Assistant City Engineer, Brad Watson, has done a significant
amount of work as far as analysis is concerned, hydraulic analysis, on the Ten
Mile Trunk Sewer. The impact that this system will have on it, the ability of the
trunk line to continue to serve development on the Ten Mile Drain that could be
served by gravity. I think at this point, Mr. President, I'd like Brad to get into the
hydraulics of the project, proposed project, its impact on the Ten Mile Drain.
Rountree: Okay.
Watson: Mr. President, Council members, there's been a lot of analysis on this,
and I'm going to compress it to a very small bit of data, so if you have any
questions that aren't readily apparent to you that seem readily apparent to me,
please stop. Doing the hydromodel that J-U-B provided to us earlier this
summer, we've estimated -
*** End of Side 1 ***
approximately 1100 remaining units that can go into the Ten Mile Trunk. This
Bear Creek proposal, as Gary mentioned, proposes to parallel about a half-mile
of line in the Crestwood Estates area. That's where the bottleneck is in the
whole Ten Mile Trunk. That's where the 1100 remaining units of capacity are
controlled is in that area. If they parallel that particular line, they will increase the
number of ERUs that can go into that trunk. From anywhere from 1200 to
approximately 1700 additional units depending on the size of the line that they
install. Anything more than that, we're just not going to get out of it because we'll
be chasing the bottleneck all the way to the plant after that. That's the - those
are the basic numbers. If there's any other questions, I'd be happy to answer
them.
Rountree: Brad, you indicated that it would add 1200 to 1700 additional units or
the capacity would be 1200 to 1700. So we're looking at now we're bottlenecked
at 11 00. It could be 2800?
(
Meridian City Council Meeting
December 7, 1999
Page 23
(
Watson: Councilman Rountree, that's correct. There's 1100 existing with the
parallel line. It would, the extra, the total number of ERUs that could be added
from today would be from basically 2200 to 2700 plus or minus.
Rountree: Thank you. Any other questions?
Bird: I have none.
Rountree: Gary.
Smith: Mr. President, Council members, I'd like to make one other comment. As
Shari stated in the beginning of her presentation, we're being delluded with
requests for development of property in all areas of the city. Right now, we're in
the process of designing about three miles of sewer trunk line between Ustick
and McMillan from the Wastewater Plant east to Locust Grove, open up three
square miles of development area. The extension of the sewer and water line
under the interstate and near Eagle Road will open up a significant amount of
land for development at that intersection. We're also looking at extension of the
south slew sewer line to the east under Eagle Road that will serve property in
that area. So you can see that everywhere we're being asked to look at
development. The developments other than in this southwest area would be
served by gravity sewer. The gravity sewer lines are going to take awhile to build
for the most part, and at the same time, the Wastewater Treatment Plant is being
expanded and continues to expand and has been expanding for the past four
years or more to provide the increased capacity. When you start pumping
sewage, that happens fairly quickly. How far you pump it is dependent upon the
diameter of the pressure line and the size of the pump. You can impact an
existing drainage system. You can impact an existing wastewater plant in a fairly
short period of time. Thank you.
Rountree: Thank you. Is the applicant here?
Bowcutt: I have a lot of props tonight.
Rountree: Give us your name and address.
Bowcutt: Becky Bowcutt, Briggs Engineering, 1800 West Overland, Boise. I'm
representing the applicant in this matter this evening. These drawings are kind of
large. This is the Bear Creek Estates project. Just to give you some history, Elk
Run Subdivision adjoins the east boundary. The city limits run along this
Kennedy Lateral. Water and sewer are in Caulderwood. The property comes
down to Victory Road and then abuts Stoddard a half mile line which is
designated for a future collector. The Harden Drain traverses through this
property. It's approximately 150.79 total acres. We're proposing 326 single-
family homes. The average lot size for this project range from smallest lot,
approximately 9200 all the way up to 35,758 square feet. What we've intended
here is to provide three types of lot sizes all going up from 9200. This will
(

provide larger lot development which the City has asked repeatedly when they've
seen projects at this standard 8,000 square foot. The proposed density in here is
2.16 dwelling units per acre. Mr. Johnson, when he brought this to us, gave us
the opportunity to design a project that has extremely low density. He gave us
the latitude to come in and propose a park site. That park site's 18.62 acres.
That would be donated to the City. He agreed that he would pipe the Harden
Drain, install the easterly parking lot, provide sprinklers and seed the park with
some type of seed that the Parks Department dictates under their standards. We
did have multiple meetings with the Parks Department on this project. We got
their input on the configuration, the location of it. It would be a community park,
as was mentioned in the article in the Statesman this week, on the south side of
the freeway. We don't have any parks, and this would function as a regional or
community park. He was really excited about it, and we're excited too. We
submitted this project knowing that it was an uphill battle. But I'd like to layout
the facts of the configuration of this parcel based on your sewer planning maps.
This is the Black Cat drainage area you see in blue. As you can well see, it's an
extremely large area. None of that trunk exists. Why doesn't any of that trunk
exist? Well, probably because all of this area has gone into another trunk. This
is Ashford Greens, Turnberry, part of Dakota Ridge, and this development here.
English Gardens came in the other day. That's in the Black Cat Trunk area also.
It was approved with a special assessment of $1500 per lot, but it was allowed to
have a lift station for a very small project with no amenities. So none of this
Black Cat Trunk has been built. Here we are in pink, and this particular project is
split. As you can see, the Ten Mile Trunk Line service area is over here to the
east, and here's the Black Cat; traverses it here and here. It doesn't look like
much when you look at a map this size. I think that's like one inch equals 2,000
feet, but when you look at it at a larger scale, that constitutes 17.7 acres. That's
12 percent. So 12 percent of this property lies within the Ten Mile Trunk service
area. The rest of the property is on the fringe. What you see in orange here
delineates that. This property's on the fringe. In like the City of Boise under their
jurisdiction, there are a lot of properties that lie within a fringe of a service area or
a drainage area as Staff calls it. I had multiple conversations with two of the City
Engineers at Boise City, and I said what happens when you have a property that
is split by a particular drainage area or lies within a fringe. They indicated to me
whichever trunk line gets there first would service the property. My question to
them was what if it took a lift station. They stated, then, a lift station would have
to be constructed, obviously, at the developer's expense. They have utilized lift
stations in many jurisdictions, Boise in particular, because it allows them to
provide service and collect those hook-up fees when the City's not putting out
any expense for the trunk lines. To think that you're going to gravity everything
within the Meridian Area of Impact is just not practical. It can't happen. Not
unless you had trunk lines that were 35 feet deep. We've looked at some trunk
extension in particular areas, the Nine Mile in particular, where the trunk line, if
extended according to the plan, would be 28 feet deep. The cost to construct
that, the cost of long-term maintenance of that, according to other cities, that's
just not preferable. So what I'm trying to tell you is other jurisdictions have used
(
Meridian City Council Meeting
December 7, 1999
Page 25
this to build their coffers up. These lift stations are not considered permanent.
They're considered temporary. The lift of the lift station, it may be there five
years. It may be there ten years. It varies. But the cost here would be going by
the project. We suggested in our letter, prior to English Gardens coming before
you, that a special assessment should be allocated on this, or assessed on this
Black Cat drainage area. The letter we submitted with our application, we stated
that we would like to see at least a $1 ,000 special assessment in addition to the
1700-and-some-odd dollar hook-up fee. Your staff came back with some
analysis and said $1500 would be more appropriate. We said great. We accept
that. $1500. The issue then came up about the capacity. The capacity of the
Ten Mile Trunk is not what it was intended to be. As is today, the Ten Mile Trunk
cannot service what is delineated here in orange. The Ten Mile Trunk can't
service all of this area. There's a bottleneck at Crestwood Estates up at Franklin
and Linder. That bottleneck is approximately 2800 linear feet. So we went to
your staff, and we said, well, what if we went in and we corrected that
bottleneck? What's causing that bottleneck? Well, it's a 15-inch line, and I
brought some handouts to kind of demonstrate to you what that looks like. As
you can see by the drawing, that's Crestwood Estates. That section of line you
see there is where you've got an 18-inch trunk line going into a 15-inch. That
constructs the flow. That decreases over the capacity. So your capacity for the
Ten Mile Trunk is already compromised at this point in time. So we said, okay,
how about we come in and we replace that 2800 feet of line. Estimated cost
would be about $75 a linear foot, so approximately $210,000 would have to be
used to go in and replace that line. If we replaced that line, your own staff said,
well, that would double the capacity of the Ten Mile Trunk. So one of my points
is we're not utilizing the capacity that's there. I'm not taking capacity away from a
parcel that's in that drainage area today based on what the capacity of the line is
now. I'm going in and we're improving the capacity and creating our own
capacity plus a substantial amount above and beyond what is needed for this
project. Staff indicates that the Black Cat line will cost about 8.6 million dollars.
If you allocate special assessments of $1500 and start creating that fund for that
Black Cat construction, then that at some point in time is going to start taking
shape. We've got to start somewhere, and that was one of the statements that
the Planning and Zoning Commission said: We have to start somewhere.
Someplace collecting these funds. Now, I'm not asking you to change your
priorities or your focus. I understand fully that your focus, at this point in time, is
on the north area in that McMillan, Ten Mile vicinity. However, for someone to
think that all of the growth is going to go there, we've got a lot of planning ahead,
a lot of transportation planning because you can't go and plop six or ten
thousand homes in that north area and have those people get around. This
particular property is within about 1 % to 1 % miles from the existing fire station.
So it's close to a fire station, it adjoins the city limits, it has access to the
interchange at the Meridian Road interchange, and it's got sewer and it's got
water. I think those are important points. That's what makes this property
unique. You already have eight lift stations in this city right now. Staff indicated
in their analysis that those circumstances came about due to a critical reason.
(
Meridian City Council Meeting
December 7, 1999
Page 26
(
Well, I don't necessarily agree that it was critical reasons, but there were
definitely reasons in why those lift stations were accepted. One of the reasons
that we bring before you is the park site. We feel that this will add to this
community. We're not just coming in with another cookie-cutter subdivision with
3 or 3.5 dwelling units per acre. We're coming in with an amenity that will benefit
the community. We're coming in and we're adding capacity to a line that's
currently compromised. The community's been begging for parks. Council's
asked for larger lots. Look at some alternatives other than the standard R-4s.
That's what we'd done. We've worked very, very hard on this project to bring this
before you. We think that we have a valid reason. I would challenge any other
development to come in and match the low density and this type of park
donation. One of the reasons that we have the ability to do this is the location. If
I can gravity sewer out the front door of a project, the price of the land is such
that the development cannot bear the burden of making a donation of this size,
and that's a fact. That's why we see so many projects that come in and they're
pretty much built up with lots with a few minor pocket parks. Nothing that has
anything of this size. We feel that that is a valid reason. We also feel that it's not
precedence setting because of the reasons I've given you tonight. One of the
things that was brought up, well, if you take out the park, what's your density?
The density, if I remove the park area, is 2.47. So it's still far below what you
typically see. We've got private common area in addition to the park which is
about 9.56 acres. The Elk Run development that's next door, to kind of give you
an example, their density is 3.3 dwelling units per acre. Their lots start at about
6500 square feet because there's a portion of it that's R-8 and then they go on up
from there into the second phase, probably averaging maybe 8500 square feet,
maybe push 9,000. So our lots are definitely consistent and compatible with
what's proposed or what's existing next door to us. I know the staff has painted a
pretty grim picture, and I understand what their concern is. They're worried that
this opens up a Pandora's box. But I'm not the first lift station to come through
the door, I won't be the last. Those other projects had some valid reasons,
according to the staff, and we feel that we do too. That's what one can base this
determination on. We spent a lot of money to get here. My clients spent over
$30,000 just so we could get to this point to have you take a look at this project. I
hope that you're looking at this with an open mind because the facts, we believe,
speak for themselves that this is a creative plan, we've done a really good job
trying to solve the problems that Staff has brought before us. Your staff can't find
anything technically wrong with the project. They don't oppose the density, the
design; the issue is this lift station. In our opinion, we don't see how the City can
lose with a project like this. Most communities would really be ecstatic. We're
put in a give-and-take situation here. Yes, we're asking for something from you,
but we're also giving something back. It's not that often that I get to get up here
and give something back that serves more than just one particular neighborhood.
With that $1500, in addition to that, I just figured $1700 hook-up fees, this project
will generate $554,200. That would include the special assessment and your
standard hook-up fees. Excuse me. No. $880,200. I'm sorry. $554,200 in
hook-up fees, $326,000 - or - yeah. Special assessment, $880,200.

Rountree: Do you want to start over?
Bowcutt: I'm getting tired and I'm getting cotton mouth. Sorry. I think that's all
that I'll say at this point in time. Would like to reserve some rebuttal. Last - oh.
One thing I did forget to mention is we did agree, we did write a letter to the Staff
concerning the maintenance of the lift station. We stated that we will bear all
costs for maintenance of that lift station for the first year. Thereafter, the
Association would pay. The way City of Boise looks at lift stations is they have
what they call an 0 and M surcharge of $3.11 per household per month, and
that's the monies they utilize for operation and maintenance of these facilities.
According to Boise, it takes one to two visits per week, approximately two hours
per week or 104 hours a year. That was one of the main concerns that your staff
has had that these take up employee time, that they're labor intensive.
According to some of the other cities, telemetry and other modern things that can
be placed on the lift station, it cuts down on the maintenance and also it - Gary
brought up the fact the peek flows. There's going to be a lift station on the Black
Cat Trunk anyway. It can't flow back to the plant to the east without a lift station.
So even when the Black Cat comes, that'll be flowing through a lift station. The
second thing is the Black Cat Trunk will come in and intercept the Ten Mile when
it is constructed and take some of the Ten Mile away. So eventually, even
though I'm going into the Ten Mile, we'll end up getting rerouted, technically, in
theory, into the Black Cat Trunk. So I'd like you to keep that in mind. Thanks.
Rountree: Any questions for Ms. Bowcutt?
Bird: I have none.
Rountree: This is a public hearing. Could I get a show of hands of number of
people who want to testify? Okay. Please, please. This is a public hearing.
Thank you. I'll just point and choose given the raise of hands, so, ma'am, if you
would -
Yarrington: Thank you. Mr. President and members of the City Council, my
name is Carolyn Yarrington, my address is 8830 Morning Mist, Boise, Idaho, and
I have property on the west side of Stoddard Road. I hope you take into
consideration and staff comments regarding this project. They have taken the
time to research the issues, and I think it's important to note that each Planning
and Zoning Meeting, staff recommendation was to deny this project. It was
brought up by the applicant that it was okay to do this project because it is on the
fringe of an existing sewer trunk line. If this is approved, will this extend the
fringe line to the other side of this project in which this same developer has
already purchase 40 acres? At the Planning and Zoning meetings, it was
mentioned that it would not be setting a precedence by building a sewer lift
station to pump into a trunk line that was not designed for this area; however,
many times there was reference to prior lift stations in Meridian. Even though not
(
Meridian City Council Meeting
December 7, 1999
Page 28
setting a legal precedence, I believe people would then refer to this project for
future approval. I think that this area will eventually be developed and annexed
into Meridian, but it shouldn't be done until it can be connected to the Black Cat
trunk line which is a drainage system it should utilize. Traffic is already bad at
Meridian, Kuna and Overland Roads and also at Victory, especially at rush hour
times. How can this project not affect the existing traffic? It should not be
approved until major improvements can be made to these two intersections. I
think this project creates more problems that it solves, and I strongly oppose it.
Thank you.
Rountree: Thank you. Yes.
Atkins: I'm Joan Atkins, my address is 400 West Victory Road. I'd like to show
you where that is on this map up here. (walked away from microphone) The
engineering firm keeps talking about the consistency of the development with the
neighbors. Well, the only consistency I see with the neighbors is this small
percentage up here, but I sure don't see a consistency - sorry, my voice carries
pretty well - consistency with the rest of the neighbors, and you know what?
There are some other neighbors around besides just this group up here. I've sat
through a very interesting process of the Planning and Zoning meetings, and my
heart goes out to the people that are in public office in this community right now
because you're overwhelmed by the amount of projects and requests and things
that are coming across your desks as well as the City and the people that are
there. There has been a structure put in place, a study put in place that's
supposedly been done in a thoughtful way to create a structure for decisions to
be made in, and I think the staff has reviewed that structure and tried to make
recommendations consistent with that so there isn't a hodge-podge of decisions
being made that just - a patchwork rather than made with an overall plan. It's my
understanding the overall plan is still under consideration, and, hopefully,
decisions will be made in that format. I grew up on a farm in Idaho. I didn't move
out here to move to 326 people. I'm a libertarian at heart, thought, and I never
get anybody to vote for, but I understand private property rights. Certainly is the
right of this developer to build this property and to purchase this property. I
certainly wasn't naturally able to do that, but it is his right to buy that property and
develop it. You know, I worked for (inaudible) Development Company in the 80s,
and the last time I checked, there were 43,000 square feet in an acre, and I'm
still amazed by this process that a 9,000 square foot lot ends up at 2.6 density.
Never could quite figure out how that worked. Frankly, there's a lot of those. If
you'll actually look closely at that plat, the only reason that you get larger lot sizes
on this plat is because you have such a small frontage on the road that then
creates this huge triangle, you end up with a few 20,000 square foot lots. Most of
them are not anywhere near that size, so again, the map of this process eludes
me. Someday I'd like to be educated on how a whole lot of 9,000, 10,000
square-foot lots end up being 2.6 density. Again, last I checked, 43,000 square
feet in an acre. So maybe it changed since the 80s until now. The other thing is
lawn a residential real - residential interior design firm. I drive subdivisions in
this valley for a living. I see a lot of them. I see a lot of them done poorly. I see
Meridian City Council Meeting
December 7, 1999
Page 29
a few of them done well. I've been, again, interested - this is packed as tight and
just as close together as humanly possible. This is certainly the highest density
that this property is able to absorb. They're having - it just has to do with
configuration of this site is why some of the lots have gotten larger. Anywhere
there is a straight road that you could pack those lots in just as tightly as you
could, it's been done. If you look at the property all around it, there isn't anything
else that looks like that except Elk Run. I have no question in my mind that this
property is built beside us that it will negatively, substantially negatively affect the
value of our property. And we're not an old farm house that's been there for 70
years, the City's preparing - the County's preparing to tear down because for
some reason they requested a road to go through our property; don't plan on that
happening, and don't know why that was requested, but there's no question that
this property at the value of these homes, and how they're going to absorb it
again, I was in real estate development, I have no idea how that's going to work,
once all these costs get loaded, how they're going to actually, competitively price
these lots once all these freebe - all these things get thrown in that they're going
to pay for. They have to cheapen the homes. I'm in residential real estate. I
understand what's going to happen. The homes will have to be cheapened for
this to be competitive. It's the only way to make it happen if you keep giving all
these things. At the prior meetings, again, I guess I'm missing details. They
were reque~ting a credit for the donation of the park. I don't know where that
negotiation has gone, and I don't know its status, but it's something that needs to
be brought up again. In my book, a donation is not something you then request a
credit for against your fees. They also requested for a credit against the cost of
the extension of the parallel extension against the assessment fees on the
special assessment fees on - don't know where that negotiation again. That
money is coming in, but they're requesting for it to come back out. I don't know
how the City benefits from that. I know the sewer is the overriding issue, and as
we went through the P & Z hearings and talked to the staff, I think everyone, and
I'm sorry to say this, but believed all along the sewer was such a big problem,
that the other issues regarding this development didn't get a huge amount of time
because everybody felt the sewer was such a big problem. This is the accident
report from the Sheriff's Department from Meridian and Victory from '95 to '99. I
can tell you how many Fs are on here, which are fatalities. Someone's got to
look at the traffic of that intersection. I'm sorry. You want to add that many trips
to it, please give up some help and look at the traffic. The poor guy that was sent
out to do the study ended up in an accident at Meridian Road and Amity. The
poor guy trying to do the study on whether we ought to have a traffic light ended
up in an accident. So I'm hoping, now I know which side he's on, but we really
do need some help out there. I welcome any of you to be in my car with me at
20 minutes to eight in the morning, try to make a left turn onto Meridian Road
from Victory. Try to make a right turn onto Stoddard at the same time. I'm sorry,
but I welcome you not have your throat up in your - your heart up in your throat
every single trip. So please give us some help. That was impressive, wasn't it?
But I can't fold it back together. This wonderful park that's being donated, unless
I'm reading the wrong things in the paper, I'd like someone to explain to me
Meridian City Council Meeting
December 7, 1999
Page 30
where the funding is going to come from to do anything other than spread grass
on it. This isn't going to be this great addition to the city, at least from what I've
been reading, they've got significant budget constraints on getting this park built.
We are requesting that does happen, that is a needed park site, but that is not
within the discretions (inaudible) deeded to the City. It's a deed-restricted site.
But somebody explain to me when this wondertul site is actually going to come to
fruition. We have playground equipment, very, very large pond that's 20 feet
deep on our property. We're going to become the park. So there's a lot of other
issues that haven't been addressed just because I think the sewer is such a big
issue. I really do. Please, Heavens, I hope the sewer kills the project. I'm sorry,
but I do. But, please, I would request that the other issues get as much careful
consideration as the sewer's been given, and, frankly, at this point, I don't think
they have. Thank you. Appreciate your time.
Rountree: There was a gentleman up front here that -
Critell: Gentlemen, my name is Wilfred A. Critell. I believe my dad and I and my
mom sent you a letter which I hope you received. )'11 show you where we live.
Our property is right here (inaudible - walked away from the microphone) - Can I
stand right here and talk?
Rountree: You can use the microphone.
Critell: Couple of things. I don't want to keep going on top. Number one, the
park development up here, if you want to see what it looks like, take a drive out
Five Mile Road. There's some property that was donated by a developer. Boise
City just recently took it over from Ada County, and when I was living over there,
they told us that maybe within ten years we'll do something with it. We don't
have the time or the finances. Henceforth, this is going to be seeded. That's all
you're getting. You're not getting any equipment, you're not getting anything else
unless they haven't told us about that yet. In addition to traffic, I get to exit up
here every morning. This is not the only bad intersection. This one up here is
bad too, and you've got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven extra people trying
to fill into this. Traffic is going to be a definite impact on this area. I've got to
save something for somebody else. This is the Ridenbaugh Canal. I don't know
if any of you have ever swam it. I used to 30 years ago. Fast-moving current.
Stay out of it. We've all been warmed, but we all did it. This is going to remain
open. Notice the lots all bordering this. I assume this is annexed into the city
that as soon as the first child drowns in this canal, the City will be informed.
Thank you.
Rountree: Thank you. Gentleman in the back that wanted to testify? No?
Anyone else that wants to testify? Last call. Okay. Becky, you wanted to have
some time at the end?

Bowcutt: On the issue of traffic, a traffic study was done on this project. It was
submitted to Ada County Highway District. We met with Ada County Highway
District when we just had a hand sketch to get their input on the configuration of
this development. We have a street connection, the Caulderwood street.
Caulderwood Street is a designated collector with a 41-foot back-to-back, five-
foot sidewalks both sides. The way we connected to it was in the T-fashion so
that we could try to distribute our traffic into multiple directions. We did not want
a convenient thru-fare onto Caulderwood even though it is a collector without
front-end housing. That leads out to Highway 69. In ACHD's review, they have
asked us to go up to the intersection of Overland Road and Stoddard and go in
and construct a turn lane. That map doesn't go far enough north. So we'll come
in here, here's Stoddard and Overland. So we'll go in there and we'll have a turn
lane right there so you can have a left-hand turn. That would be an off-site
improvement that this project would bear. On Stoddard Road, we would have to
install sidewalk, five-foot sidewalk all along Stoddard on the east side only.
According to the Highway District and the traffic study, we will need to put center
turn lanes on Stoddard because at some point in time, Stoddard is going to be a
full-fledged collector. We also intersect down here at Victory, and then Victory
wraps in to Highway 69. Based on the traffic analysis, it was determined by the
traffic engineer and the Highway District the capacity does exist in this area for
this project. Considering the potential density of this project, if it were developed
at its highest - you know, highest use, the traffic would be far greater than what's
proposed here. I think we're at 3260 vehicle trips per day. Of that about 105
would be generated by the park. The question arose on the park: What's the
timeline? The park is in the first phase. This is going to be probably a six- to
seven-phase project. People don't recognize that. All they see is a lot of lots on
the picture, and they feel oh, my word, we're going to have 326 new neighbors
simultaneously. It does not happen. This is a six-, probably a six-year project at
least, given current market conditions. Obviously, if the market were to change,
then that would either be accelerated or would slow down. But if the park is
within our first phase as delineated on the preliminary plat that we submitted to
your staff. We've provided landscaping all along Stoddard Road. 30 feet. We've
also laid our landscaping so we don't end up with just a straight corridor. We've
gone in and proposed parking islands within our cul-de-sacs that are landscaped
also to provide additional parking whereas when one finds restricted parking in
the cul-de-sac areas. We've got this little intermittent pocket park here. We've
tried really hard to come in and make our lots deeper along this area. We realize
our neighbors include others and not just Elk Run. We came in and tried to keep
a minimum of about 136 feet and ranging all the way up to 152 feet of depth in
these lots. These lots are ranging next to this property here, ranging between
100 and 98 feet wide. Obviously, we can't come in and match five-acre lots for
five-acre lots, but we have really tried to transition what we're proposing. The
other issue is the Ridenbaugh Canal. The Ridenbaugh Canal would obviously be
fenced. It would require fencing on both sides according to the City Ordinance.
The Ridenbaugh Canal traverses through many subdivisions that we have done.
We have always treated the same six-foot, nonclimbable" nonburnable fencing.
(
Meridian City Council Meeting

The issue was brought up as far as impact fee credits. Well, we put in our
application, and in our meetings with your Parks Director, we discussed that we
would like to see some park impact fee credits. That is typically a mechanism
that is used to help facilitate the parks. You don't give back everything that
you've obviously donated. We're putting out a lot. The piping of the drain,
building one parking lot, going in and installing sprinklers. Obviously, it'd have to
work off of our pump station which would be under Nampa Meridian Irrigation
District's jurisdiction, and then going in and seeding it. And the donation of the
land. That's a lot of dollars. A lot of dollars, and, yes, we have asked for park
impact fee credits. But that's not any different than the parks that have been built
over by the YMCA next to Andrus Elementary. The developer did the same
thing. So they say, well, gee, so how long is it going to be until there's play
equipment? I can't answer that. We're providing the land. We're going in and
putting in some basic things that are requirements so we've got instant green.
Just because there's no play equipment doesn't mean it can't be used. We need
soccer fields. We need Optimist Football fields. There's a lot of needs out there.
Ball diamonds are the other thing. Big complaint in the community all summer
long was there just aren't enough places for the kids to have these types of
extracurricular activities. There are people that I work with that were driving their
kids clear across to southeast Boise when they lived over in Meridian for some of
these games. So we do need to provide some areas for these types of activities.
That's what we're doing. As far as the monies for the special assessment, we
want to pay the $1500 per lot. The $1500 per lot at 326 is $489,000. The only
thing we ask is that because we are creating some or additional capacity in the
Ten Mile that we be eligible at some point in time in the future for some late-
comer reimbursement on that trunk line just for that money spent. That's it.
That's all we're asking. We can only do so much~ We're giving - we're kind of at
the limit as far as what we can afford to give. As I stated before, this project is
what it is because of its location, and you do need to consider the neatness of
the project. We've got a good project. I think we can - we've offered solutions to
all the problems. I do think that Staff became alarmed, but I doubt if they were
any more alarmed than when Vienna Woods came about. I heard the rumblings
about that when that happened. They said, well, that's to protect our eastern
boundary from Boise. So there was a reason. This is going to provide a good-
quality, low-density development plus a city park. We think we've got a reason
here too. Do you have any questions?
Bird: None.
Rountree: Glenn?
Bentley: None.
Rountree: Becky, it was pointed out by that individual that testified that the
developer has purchased additional land in this vicinity - vicinity I think was the
word. Is that then going to create an additional demand for utilization of or
(
Meridian City Council M-eeting
December 7, 1999
Page 33
development, expansion in this area potentially expanding the pumping facility
potentially utilizing capacity that's going to be increased with the parallel sewer
lines? Is it going to just create this snowballing effect in this area?
Bowcutt: The land, I believe, the developer did purchase some land further west,
but it's in agricultural use, and it's - my understanding is it's tied up (inaudible).
Greg may be able to answer that. Is this our first step? To my knowledge, no.
This is what we're looking at here. Greg may be able to answer that.
Johnson: I'm Greg Johnson. I reside at 2433 CanAda Road in Melba. I did
purchase the, actually, the LLC that owns this subdivision -
*** End of Side 2 ***
Rountree: Okay.
Johnson: We have purchased 40 acres directly across from the city park. It is
currently operated as a dairy. It's a small dairy. We felt it important to control
that piece of property. We're proposing 326 new homes in this neighborhood
over a period of six years, and we need to control when that dairy goes away,
and we did purchase that. It is currently leased to Mr. Curtis Peck (sic) who
operates that dairy. He has come to us and asked to expand that facility, and
we're not allowing him to expand the facility. He's a young dairy farmer, he's
getting started in it. Two years, maybe three years he's going to outgrow its
capacity, and he'll have to go out by Parma or Melba or somewhere and
purchase ground and build a permanent dairy facility for himself. It's tough to
transition these neighborhoods, but a dairy and development don't mix, and so
we felt it came on the market about the same time we had optioned this property,
and so we purchased it so we could control what happened there. Someday in
the future, yes, we are going to want to develop that ground, and we'll try and
buy other ground in that neighborhood, but we understand that it's probably
going to take the Black Cat Trunk to develop that ground. We'd like to get
started on it now with these fees for trunk assessments. Hopefully it will start
growing from the other end and then five or six years from now, we can come in
with another proposal that'll eventually get Black Cat Trunk on this side of the
freeway and serve this area. Any further questions?
Rountree: Any questions?
Johnson: Thank you.
Bowcutt: One thing I did want to mention or I failed to mention earlier; the plant
is being increased in its capacity. My understanding is you can handle 4 million
gallons per day. The new upgrade that's going to take place will bring that up to
8 million gallons per day. We've estimated with this development, based on 3 ~
bedrooms, we will generate 275 gallons per day per home. That equates to
(
Meridian City Council Meeting
December 7, 1999
Page 34
89,650 gallons per day or 1.12 percent of your plant's capacity. So I just want
the Council to know that we do not believe the impact on the plant by this project
is even a drop in the bucket.
Rountree: Thank you. Anyone wish to testify? Is it something new? You
promise? Okay. Come on up.
Atkins: Joan Atkins, 400 West Victory Road. The one thing that hasn't - I don't
think the project's been submitted because the church - we've been approached
by the people (inaudible). Everybody around us is very busy. That's owned by
the Valley Church of the Nazarene. They have told us the back of that's all
soccer fields. That the church is up against the northeast corner, and that whole
back side of that property is all soccer fields. So we're going to be really busy on
Saturday afternoons, and that need is going to be met through the church facility
over here. I don't know what's going on, but I don't think that plan that's been
presented to us for that property has ever been brought up at the hearings. So I
just wanted to let you know. Thank you.
Rountree: Thank you. Anyone else? Questions of staff?
Bird: I'd like to hear the Staffs rebuttal or if they got any different views.
Smith: Mr. President, Council members, I don't think that the picture that Becky
has painted is in error in terms of what they're proposing to do. The costs on the
system, those have all been researched, and I don't think there are any errors
there. I see that - what I see happening is that this is the beginning of
development in this area. If this project goes forward, I think plans might just as
well be laid to locate this lift station somewhere down west of Linder on Overland
Road and just make plans to accommodate all the vacant properties within that
area because we've been approached by other land owners, particularly the
southwest corner of the intersection of Stoddard and Overland Road, interested
in developing. Queenland Acre Properties, the east side of Stoddard Road, is in
for a Comp Plan change right now, and a portion of it, a very small portion of that
property can sewer into Overland Road. That property's going to need sewer.
It's just the beginning of development in this area, and I appreciate the comments
that Mrs. Yerrington and Mrs. Atkins had to make particularly concerning the
traffic. I agree with them that that has been an issue that has not been very
strongly addressed. There is a tremendous amount of traffic on Kuna Meridian
Road and on Overland Road in the mornings and in the evenings. Particularly in
the darkness of the winter months, those intersections are treacherous.
Caulderwood will become one. If we go forward with the approval of this project,
I think $1500 assessment per lot should be paid up-front, lump sum to the City of
Meridian, not on a per building permit basis. I don't believe there should be any
credit given for the $210,000 for parallel piping. Our - your staff comments are
not in favor of this project, and our policy, the City's policy has been, with a few
exceptions as Becky mentioned, pretty tough on pumping on one drainage area
(
Meridian City Council Meeting
December 7, 1999
Page 35
into another without a real good reason. The northeast part of this town was
being protected from the advents of Boise City by allowing the pumping of the
sewage from Vienna Woods into the south slew. The construction of the No-
Name Trunk will allow that pumping to be placed in the No-Name Trunk.
Ultimately, the north slew will have to be built before that pump can go away. I
believe with only one exception, we have lift station that's not going to go away,
and it's an old one, serves a very small number of homes. I think that's all I
have. Thank you
Rountree: Thank you. Any other questions? I'll entertain a motion to close the
hearing.
Bird: I move we close the public hearing.
Bentley: I second it.
Rountree: It's been moved and seconded to close the public hearing on this
Bear Creek, LLC annexation and preliminary plat for 326 single-family dwelling
lots. Discussion and recommendations -- (inaudible) Findings of Facts and
Conclusions of Law (inaudible).
Bird: Got the annexation and zoning first and then the preliminary plat.
Rountree: This is the hard part.
(Mayor Corrie rejoins meeting at 9:28 p.m.)
Rountree: Do you want to take over or do you want to hold off?
Corrie: Hold off.
Bird: Mr. President.
Rountree: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Just a comment. This is a nice, a very, very nice development. I think the
18 acres of park would be very, very nice. Of course, the traffic. The traffic's - of
course, Meridian's probably still be back with 1500 people if we had our
infrastructure in before we developed, or all cities would be the same way. The
sewer issue is a real sore spot. We've sat around, to be truthfully, I believe the
City and let ourselves get way behind in the sewer deal. We were trying to catch
up now which I hope within the next two years we do get caught up. I can't
jeopardize the people that are already naturally flowing into the sewer system,
but bring in a pump. I know we did that at Vienna Woods, but I think it's a very,
, very nice development, but I don't know if we're ready to accept it with our
infrastructure that I think we need to get going as a City Council and as a City
(
Meridian City Council Meeting
December 7, 1999
Page 36
(
getting that going in the right way and getting caught up before we're going to
want to - still want to go, we better get, as a City, better get ourselves in line and
get going after it. We ask the developers to pay a lot of money and fees up-front,
and we put it in the bank. That's alii got to say.
Rountree: Mr. Bentley.
Bentley: I pretty much would have to agree with Keith. I, too, if from my four
years here, I've pushed pretty hard to get the sewer program going to where we
can have some orderly growth and protect the infrastructure that we're trying to
create. I'm with Keith. I'm really thrilled to see somebody come forward and
really willing to donate 18 acres of park land, sprinkle it, get it under way. I'm
afraid I'm going to have to agree with Keith also, I can't go with this project just
because of the sewer problems we've got. I wish I could say yes to it because I'd
love to see it go.
Rountree: Do you want to put that in the form of a motion for Findings of Facts
and recommendation?
Bentley: Well, only after I hear what you have to say.
Bird: (inaud ible)
Corrie: You're not skating.
Bird: You're not skating out.
Rountree: I figured that was the case. We have two issues, one, annexation and
zoning and the other preliminary plat. At some point in time in the not-too-distant
future, this piece of property will more than likely be residential. It will more than
likely be R-4. I don't disagree with that, and I think it's consistent with our Camp
Plan. It is not consistent, thought, to the extent of what City's usual practice has
been as it relates to sewage and drainage basins and pumping of sewer. Water
is not an issue. Police and fire, no more issue here than they are anyplace else.
Sewer is a definite issue. I applaud the applicant for willing to accept an
additional fee per lot, an assessment, if you will, that would be banked toward a
trunk line extension at some point in time in the future (inaudible) Black Cat
drainage. Unfortunately, I wish this were on the other end of that line than where
it is at mid-end of the line. I have a hard time going against the staff's
recommendations even with severe conditions. I think there's some ways maybe
to make this work, and I believe Gary may have touched on one in terms of
maybe we need to look at a sub-basin analysis in this area jointly with the City as
well as this applicant and some potential future applicants that have apparently
approached the City and see if there isn't a better approach on an interim basis
to handle the sewer situation. Having said that, I'm not in the position to flatly
deny this application for annexation. I would like to see it deferred possibly for
(
\
Meridian City Council Meeting
December 7, 1999
Page 37
yet another round of analysis with the City and the developer and any other
developer in the area that might participate to take a look at what we can do on a
sub-basin basis as it relates to the appropriate spot for temporary pumping
station in this area that may accommodate what we all know is coming: the
request for development. Maybe we'll do it for a length of time and generate fees
of sufficient quantity to at least get us started on the Black Cat trunk line. I have
really no comments as it relates to the preliminary plat. I think it's as far as R-4
subdivision developments that have been presented to the City, it appears to be
a quality subdivision. The lots are larger than what are required in an R-4
subdivision by some 1200 to several tens of thousands of square feet. It does
provide some amenities for the Homeowners Association to utilize and take care
of, and it does provide the City with the amenity of a city park; albeit, there is
going to be some responsibility on the part of the City to make it entirely usable.
So having said that, you know where I stand. I don't - I hate to stop this thing
right now because I think there's some issues that we need to explore with the
developer, but if we can't go there with them, then possibly keep this process
open so we can at least go to the end if it - my recommendation would be to
deny the annexation, but my first preference would be to keep it open and pursue
that. You guys get to make a motion.
Bird: I'd like to comment some more. Charlie, I agree with you 100 percent on
that. I don't want to see it die, but in the same token, our staff is adamant about
not pumping into that. They don't want a pump station. I think I, too, think it's a
very, very good development. I hope that it gets us off our whatever and gets
this City in gear to start developing stuff; get our trunk lines out there and do stuff
like this so that we don't have to tell people this. I don't know how you would - if
you don't deny it, how you continue it. I mean, we can keep continuing it, but I
guess, what do you do? I mean, I'd like to see the thing worked out too so it
could work.
Rountree: Well, I guess my preference would be at least continue it to the point
where that could be explored with the applicant and brought back and presented
in a public hearing form.
Bird: I have no problem with that.
Rountree: And then at that time, condition it to a point of acceptability or reach a
point where after the public hearing it's denied.
Bird: I would have no problem with all of that.
Rountree: (inaudible) any suggestions from the city attorney procedurewise.
Gigray: Mr. President, members of the Council, if you choose to keep this matter
open, and you choose to entertain the idea of additional evidence, in order for
you to decide whether or not you would accept this project subject to terms and
(
Meridian City Council Meeting
December 7, 1999
Page 38
conditions which would come out of that, then what you would need to do then, I
guess, would be my opinion, would be to re-open the public hearing and then
move to continue it and then I would recommend that you ask the applicant
whether or not they would be willing to waive any provisions in our ordinance that
proscribe that you make a decision within a certain period of time. I'm not saying
that that's a problem at this point, but it ought to be cleared because we do have
some issues relative to our subdivision ordinance particularly, and then I would
recommend a procedure that you might request that the matter be continued to a
time certain with a subsequent staff report based on whatever negotiations came
out of this, the developer would have an opportunity, of course, to address that,
and you'd probably ought to, since this matter is contested, request that report be
provided to the public so that they would have an opportunity to address any
issues that might come out of that as well. I don't know how Staff and the
developer, given the workload, and you may want to ask the Public Works
Director, what kind of a reasonable timeframe there would be to discuss some of
these so that you could decide if you choose this action of when to set it for.
Rountree: Thank you, Bill.
Bentley: Mr. President.
Rountree: Glenn.
Bentley: Follow-up question for the attorney. If we continue this, does the
changing of the Council have any bearing on this?
Gigray: Could have a big bearing on it because you have such a limited number
here, and with you going off and Mr. Rountree going off, then we've got a quorum
problem.
Rountree: Actually, we're leaving. We're not going off.
Gigray: Excuse me. Leaving off. I'm sorry. So that would limit your ability, and
that's a good point to bring up. Because it'd have to be an old business item the
first meeting in January. (inaudible)
Rountree: Any recommendation by way of motion? Mr. Bird.
Bird: I don't have anything. I know we're out of public hearing and everything,
but I liked Bill's idea of going back to public hearing and delaying it for two weeks
to see if we can work something out that would be - I mean, we have to have it
done before January 4th because of you two guys.
Bentley: Don't blame us.
Rountree: It's not my fault.
(
Meridian City Council Meeting
December 7, 1999
Page 39
Bird: Well, we got one -
Rountree: If you wish to make that a motion -
Bird: I would make a motion that we re-open the public hearing on Items 9 and
10 which is the request for annexation and zoning of 150.79 acres of land for R-4
zoning by Bear Creek, LLC and the request for preliminary plat for the same
acreage. I would like to ask the developer if they have anything against tabling
this for a couple of weeks and seeing if we can work something out.
Rountree: Got a motion; don't have a second.
Bentley: Second.
Rountree: Okay. Moved and seconded to re-open the public hearing on Items 9
and 10. All those in favor?
MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES, ONE ABSENT
Rountree: The public hearing is re-opened. Do I have another motion?
Bird: I would move that we continue until December 21, 1999, the public
hearings for Items 9 and 10 on the agenda, see if we can, between staff and
developer, can work something out that would be acceptable to getting this
project taken care of.
Rountree: What was the date again?
Bird: The 21st.
Rountree: Do I have a second?
Bentley: It's been moved and seconded to continue the public hearing until
December 21st to have the developer and staff coordinate a potential solution.
All those in favor of the motion? Discussion.
Bentley: Question for Mr. Gigray. Do we need to talk to the developer now?
Whether they're interested in even going any farther than this?
Gigray: Mr. President and Councilman Bentley, members of the Council, if
you're just continuing it to the next meeting, this is the first public hearing that I'm
aware of that you've had where you've received the testimony. I don't have
many concerns on a two-week delay. I was thinking if more time for discussion
than whatever, then we might run into a problem. But with a two-week delay, I
don't see that as a problem. I think you'll want to make it very clear to all that are
(

here that everyone is invited back and they'll all have an opportunity to address
the issues that are brought up that are new at that public hearing whether they're
for this project or against it.

agreeable with Council.

conducting the meeting. I was -
Rountree: Did you raise a lot of money?

telethon, and they wanted $300,000 and we were at $400,000 when I left. I think
they're going to be able to (inaudible) go with it. Thank you, Charlie.
(inaudible discussion amongst Council members)
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, Item 11 is a request for a variance of the
landscaping requirements. The old ordinance section was 11-2-414D2, Items A
and C under that provision which require a minimum of one three-inch caliper
tree for every 1500 square feet of asphalt. As part of their preliminary plat, they
have three buildings, they have three lots, they're requesting to increase the lots
to four to allow construction of another building. They're severely under-
landscaped out there. The plans that were approved as part of the building
permit were never constructed. They do have some landscaping. Our
comments regarding the variance of the landscaping requirement are in with your
plat comments. They would be on the recommendation to the City Council for
the plat, it would be on Page 3, Item 1.7. Staff could support some reduction in
the landscaping, but not what they have requested. They're proposing a total of
34 trees for four lots which is not acceptable. We have asked for ten-foot wide
landscaped area around the south, east and west boundaries of the subdivision,
and in that - by that method, they can accommodate 68 of the 77 trees they
would be. required. The entire site is building and asphalt. Majority of the
landscaping they do have now is in the right-of-way. They have indicated that
they think they meet what the rest of that subdivision has installed as far as
landscaping, but we have found no evidence that any of the lots in that
subdivision are deficient to this point. We would ask as part of the variance if it is
approved that our comments stated- at 1.7 on Page 3 for the plat be incorporated
as part of that variance allowance. There are currently three buildings. I don't
have the exact lot lines where they would be. Their parking is also severely
limited as far as driveways and parking on site. There's a serious problem with
on-street parking in this area. This eventually is planned to go through, would go
through the Elixir (sic) property and onto Eagle Road. We do have a letter in the
(
Meridian City Council Meeting
December 7, 1999
Page 42
(
file from Walt Morrow. He was opposed to it. That is, as far as I know, the only
opposition from owners within the subdivision. He owns the property right here,
and he has met the requirements of the zoning ordinance. I hope that you have
a copy of that letter in your packets as dated November 8, and he wanted to
make sure that was included in the record. Their proposal is to make the four
lots or they would have a building here, a building here, a building here, and
propose a new building on this lot. That's alii have.
Corrie: Thank you. Any questions?
Rountree: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: Did I hear you correctly, Shari? You've looked at the development in
this particular subdivision at this point in time and they are consistent with our
landscaping ordinance requirements?
Stiles: Yes.
Rountree: Okay.
Corrie: Okay. Any other questions? Since this is a public hearing, I'd invite the
applicant to speak first.
Henkley: First, and I have (inaudible) these are the plans for the (inaudible) -
Corrie: Okay. I need you to get your name on the record first.
Henkley: My name's Robert Henkley. I live at 1036 Taffy Drive in Nampa. I'm
with a surveying and engineering company (inaudible) working for the client. If
you want to open those up. Basically what it shows is what my preliminary plat
shows is the landscaping is built (inaudible) plans. It does have a disclaimer
down in the corner, but those were the approved plans, and that is what was built
out there. They built the buildings across the lot lines. What we're trying to do,
basically, is move the lot lines to reflect where the buildings are and build the
future proposed building up in the corner there as shown on those plans. This is
a terrible copy. I have the blue-line if you wanted to pass that around. It's a little
better copy. You can see the amount of landscaping doesn't go around the
perimeter or anything.
Corrie: So you're proposing 34 trees on the four lots?
Henkley: Yeah. If you have a copy, we brought copies in, you should in your
packet, I would imagine, have a copy of the preliminary plat, full-size there that
you can see with the landscaping pretty much matches what's on those plans
(.

there (inaudible) built. Also maybe like to bring to your attention, the parking
which except for a small area behind Building 1 on the new Lot 4 would meet
requirements; however, if we take off a ten-foot strip around the edge, we
wouldn't be able to possibly meet parking requirements. We'd lose too much
square footage. It's all currently asphalted. All we'd have to do is do a little re-
striping back there. We'd have to remove a lot of asphalt, fences.
Bird: Are the first three buildings up?
Henkley: The first three buildings have been in existence since, I believe, about
'94. (inaudible) I've also brought some pictures, if you like, because City - what
the landscaping does look like in actuality, and kind of what some of the
neighboring ones do. (inaudible) I don't know if you have any other questions
for me.
Corrie: Council, any questions?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Okay. All right. Thank you. Anyone else in the public that would like to
issue testimony? Okay. If you'll give us your name and spell your last name,
please.
Downing: Sure. My name is Bill Downing, D-O-W-N-I-N-G, I'm with Reineo
Construction. Just a couple little quick things. The point of the landscaping not
meeting those original drawings was - there were some changes, but it was
because of the Fire Department needed access and visibility to get in. I can - I
have it on the original (inaudible - walked away from microphone) It's not much
but (inaudible) Second point I was going to make is just the street parking. Did
you get those pictures of the street scenes? These are just street scenes of that
subdivision. (inaudible) Currently in the second building, it's shared by a
mechanic, repair shop and a moving company. The new building that's proposed
will be occupied by the mechanic shop and the moving company will take over
the entire building for no. 2 there which gives them all the parking behind that
building. In the pictures, you'll see it's a moving truck that's parked out in front of
this facility. It usually is. But that's not just true of the Forsythe's property, either.
If you're looking at on-street parking, you'll see across the street, neighbor there,
that has three or four cars out there every day. It'll actually improve the parking if
they get approval of the variance and (inaudible). I think that was all I got. I just
wanted to get that out.
Corrie: Thank you. Is there anyone else from the public that would like to issue
testimony tonight on Items 11 or 12? Okay. Hearing none, any questions from
the Council?
Bird: I have none.

Corrie: Okay. I'll entertain a motion to close the public hearing on Item 11 and
12.

Bentley: I move we close the public hearing on Items 11 and 12.
Bird: Second.

Items 11 and 12. Any further discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor of the
motion say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES, ONE ABSENT
Corrie: Okay. Discussion. I guess we need to take the variance first.
Bird: Are we going to do Findings?
Corrie: We'll have to do Findings, yeah, for the variance. We'll need to find out
what the Findings are going to be.
Rountree: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: I have a question, I guess, for Shari. It's more of a procedural or
application - this. variance request, is it for the entire four lots or just what would
be a new lot if the plat were approved.
Stiles: it would be the entire four lots.
Rountree: Thank you. Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Rountree. I think this is a case where we've got one or more chefs in
the kitchen, and we need at least at one point in time because the plat that was
before us certainly did indicate that the Fire Marshal did instruct the previous
owners as it related to the building permit to remove some landscaping for fire-
site reasons. Good bad or indifferent, I can't see why we can deny a variance in
that particular -

aspect. It seems to me I would like to see the intent of landscaping and our
ordinance be met if we further subdivide this piece of property and any new
development out there be in compliance with our ordinances. I don't know how
you would structure that. I guess it would be structured in the Findings that a
variance would be granted for the existing development, but then any new
development would have to comply with existing ordinance. Looks to me like
we're a party to them not being consistent with our landscape ordinance.
Bentley: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bentley.
Bentley: My question would have to be by 1.7 of Page 3 of the preliminary plat,
Shari has stated that it is severely deficient, the entire site. I understand what
Councilman Rountree's saying about the Fire Department requesting the trees at
a certain area being removed. I don't have a problem with reducing the
requirements for that amount, but if the entire project is deficient, then I do have
a problem with that. I think the projects should meet the requirements that was
originally put on it with the exception of what was asked to be removed. I'd like
to - Shari's got her hand up.
Stiles: Mr. President, Mayor and Council, I didn't realize this new plan was
submitted on December 1 st. The comments were prepared prior to this plan
being submitted. I can't tell what these symbols are. If they were three-inch
caliper trees or if some of them were conifers. Those are six- to eight-foot trees,
and they are proposing this part of their variance. I think it's a reasonable
compromise is to accept what they have presented as part of their variance.
Rountree: We need to re-open the public hearing and then find out (inaudible)
close the public hearing on the plat.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: I would move we re-open the public hearing to hear from the applicant
as it relates to the proposed subdivision plat that we have before us.
Bentley: Second.
Corrie: Motion made and seconded to re-open the public hearing that we had -
to ask some questions of the applicant. Any further discussion? Hearing none,

Questions?
Rountree: Mr. Mayor. We have before us this that has -
Henkley: I brought a -
Rountree: -- a lot of symbols on it. I guess our question is what do these various
symbols, as it relates to landscaping, mean? They quantify the trees, but they
don't tell us what kind of trees they are.
Henkley: I believe that's in the notes. This wasn't anything to basically we had
as a requirement to send you six copies of the preliminary plat. It may have been
intended to read any changes in the preliminary plat, but we didn't want to be
denied this hearing because we didn't bring the six copies. It's the same as was
submitted months ago. Didn't mean to confuse you, Shari.
Stiles: I don't see anything in the notes that says what they are.
Henkley: If I could look at one, I could find it for you.
Bird: This one. The symbol says right there, three-inch caliper trees. Yeah. On
this one here.
Bentley: That's the old one, though.
Bird: This is the original.
Rountree: I guess if (inaudible) testify to that effect --
Henkley: I believe (inaudible) site plan.
Rountree: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: My question to the applicant then, is that the symbols on this plan
dated December 1st, receipt December 1st by the City of Meridian indicates that
those would be three-inch caliper trees.
Henkley: Correct.
Rountree: Correct? Okay. That's alii need to know.

Corrie: I think that answers (inaudible)
Henkley: I believe on the site plan for Lot 1 pretty much answered that. And if I
could maybe make a comment, I don't know if this is either here or there, but
perhaps we could, you know, if you put a restriction for Lot 1, the new - basically
the new Lot - creating where the new building goes to be fully landscaped. I
don't know if that would be acceptable to you or not. It's a thought. The rest of
it's kind of asphalted and fenced to the - as is.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Yes.
Bird: I got a question for Gary. I've got a letter here from one of the owners of a
building across the street. He's questioning utilities, capabilities of the utilities
that we got out there regarding fire mains and domestic water flows. Is there any
problem with that, Gary?
Smith: Mr. Mayor, Council members, Councilman Bird, I don't know exactly what
Walt's concern is. If there's low service or low pressure, I haven't been advised
of that. I don't know. This line and commercial core will be connected to the one
that's being installed by Elixir to the east so it'll loop in the near future.
Bird: Okay.
(inaudible)
Corrie: Okay. Let's let him finish.
Smith: That's alii have.
Bird: Okay. Thanks, Gary.
Corrie: If you want to come up here, it's still a public hearing.
Henkley: My name's Robert Henkley again. Same address. During P & Z, I
can't recall your assistant - the Assistant City Engineer's name. He was here
earlier. We discussed the water flows, and they aren't real high in that area. I
believe they're bringing - going to connect to Eagle Road here shortly. Water
and that many trees with city water probably wouldn't help the water pressure.

They neglected to put pressure irrigation~in that original subdivision when it was
built. We don't have the option of watering with irrigation.
Corrie: Any other questions?
Bird: I have none.
Bentley: Question for Shari.
Corrie: Mr. Bentley.
Bentley: Shari, would the new understanding of the symbols on the map, your
comments on the landscape?
Stiles: It shows - for the record, we didn't have this until December 1 st. It wasn't
submitted, at least as any part of my files. For some reason it's dated 5/24/99. I
don't believe that was the date it was probably done. We've got a different date
on the plat. But they do show 66 trees on this plan. It is adjacent to the railroad
tracks which is going to be hopefully a multiple-use pathway at some point. It
would help a lot toward the appearance of the backs of those buildings and the
vast sea of asphalt to have the landscaping along the entire border there. I could
support the variance provided the minimum of the 66 trees is provided and that
those trees be three-inch caliper or if they are some type of conifer tree, they be
a six- to eight-foot minimum height.
Bird: Shari, what's the date on those plans you're looking after?
Stiles: It shows a date of 5/24/99.
Bird: Okay. Thank you. Is that the site or the preliminary plat plan?
Stiles: It's shown as a preliminary plat of Seven Gates Industrial Subdivision
including proposed parking and landscaping layout.

ITEM 13.
PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT FOR 283 LOT PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FOR
PROPOSED WOODBRIDGE SUBDIVISION ON 80.83 ACRES
FROM R-T TO R-4 BY WOODBRIDGE COMMUNITY, LLC -
SOUTH Y2 OF THE NW % SECTION 17 T3N R1 E:
Corrie: Item 13 is a public hearing. This is a request for conditional use permit
for 283-lot planned development for proposed Woodbridge Subdivision on 80.83
acres from R-T to R-4 by Woodbridge Community, LLC, south half of the
northwest quarter section, 17T, 3N, R1E. At this time, I'll open the public hearing
on Item No. 13 and hear from Staff first.
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, you have a significant amount of information on
this project. I hope you've had a chance to go through it. We have met with the
applicant and their attorney several times, and it's come down to basically just a
couple of issues. This property is what was formerly known as the Griffin
property, the 80 acres. It's south of Green Hill, west of Magic View Subdivision.
Cobblestone Village was approved up in this location here tonight. They are
proposing to annex it or they have - you've approved the annexation of this
parcel to an L-O, and they're proposing a planned development with a maximum
of 283 lots. They're proposing reductions on a number of the Ordinance
requirements as part of the planned development, but they have proposed open
space, common areas throughout the project with pathways. One thing that will
need to be determined once the platting proceeds with this project, the approval
(
Meridian City Council Meeting
December 7, 1999
Page 51
(
tonight is not the approval of a plat. It's just the conditional use permit. They're
proposing stub street or a street connection through to Magic View. It's not
known at this time whether this will be the final location. They'll be working on
that as they get an engineer to prepare their plans. I believe Ada County
Highway District supported more in this area, and Staff also supported that area,
but they have committed to having that in operation prior to issuance of the 200th
building permit, then that would go through to Magic View and eventually could
be able to access the signal at the Chevron and St. Luke's area. The main issue
that we have just had to agree to disagree on is this street here, Ada County
Highway District - I think I have - there's three different proposals presented for
the connection through to Green Hills Estates. This is an existing 50-foot right-
of-way in Green Hill Estates. It's never been developed, but the right-of-way is
still in tact. The Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation
was that 18 feet of grasscrete be constructed with a five-foot meandering
pathway to connect the two subdivisions and that the ballards would be installed,
and this would only be intended as an emergency access. Ada County Highway
District, I believe this is still their final plan? Oh. I believe this was the staff
recommendation for Ada County Highway District, and I guess Mr. Q'Niell's
shaking his head, but he can clarify that. This is what they presented and gave
to us in the packet most recently, and it says ACHD, so I assume that's what it
was. This is O'Niell Enterprise's recommendation. They're proposing a 12-foot
asphalt pathway with four-foot, I put five-foot there because that's our sidewalk
requirement, pathway requirement. They're proposing four-foot grasscrete on
either side of 12-foot asphalt pathway. In their, in what they presented, you see
a - on Page 2 of what they've just submitted this week under the conditions of
approval, it seems to be a combination of what they were proposing and what
p & Z has proposed. One issue that we had was some of the wording they had
there was that they were willing to go ahead and dedicate the 50-foot right-of-
way so the possibility would exist. They're showing it as 50-foot right-of-way. So
the possibility would exist at some point to make it a public road, but they had put
in their conditions that it would be made permanent when ACHD, the City of
Meridian, the developer and the residents of Green Hill Estates agree it should
become permanent access. I don't know about you, but I don't believe that
would happen in our lifetimes to get those four into these together and agree on
that. There's the interneighborhood connectivity is very important. I don't - well,
here's a better plan. This is the existing public right-of-way that hasn't been
constructed. There's also an existing public right-af-way at this location that I
imagine we're going to come up with the same problem there. They're not going
to want that to continue through. The problem comes with only one access here
that - the problems that exist here that when Franklin Road is reconstructed to
the five lanes or seven lanes or however many lanes they're going to end up with
there, it's going to be virtually impossible for the residents of Green Hill to get out.
They can go through and get eventually to Eagle Road through this location, but I
believe the policies of Ada County Highway District and our policies are to
provide for that interconnectivity. Staff certainly supports the leaving of this as
emergency access only for as long as possible, but I think they're going to find
(r
Meridian City Council Meeting
December 7, 1999
Page 52
(
that in the not-too-distant future, they're really going to wish that they had that.
Particularly when also the Locust Grove if we ever get the overpass there and
they reconstruct Locust Grove Road, that's going to be at least another avenue
for them to exit this site. It's also important for our emergency access, although
the Fire Department is satisfied with the emergency access only. That was the
one point of disagreement. It is a nice project. We certainly could have had
someone else come in and pick up that property and end up with a much less
desirable result. They've got lots of open space. They've got the Five Mile
Creek coming through that they will develop as a common area. You have a
clubhouse, swimming pool, all these other pathways and open areas. They have
the smaller lots that would be on this portion and then gradually go to the larger
lots. These would be the more ideal lots that they have as far as the size and the
views that are available because of the topography of the site. They have
committed to leaving these as type - what they call Type D lots, I believe, that is
at least a minimum of 8,000 square feet. Neighborhood roads, they would all -
you had that in yaur packets. All the street sections they have there. They have
some very pleasing elevations tor some of the proposed housing within the
subdivision. They're allowing for some varied setbacks, side-entry garages. This
is the section of Locust Grove Road that they're proposing. Our ordinance states
that when they are adjacent to a roadway such as Locust Grove, that the
minimum 20-foot planting strip be provided beyond required right-at-way.
They're proposing to build this street section, and I am told by Ada County
Highway District that this does meet their requirements tor a five-lane roadway
even though all of this portion would be in the right-af-way, they would allow
through license agreement for this to be landscaped. This would be an eight-foot
wide meandering asphalt pathway, and we have discussed with the applicant
that we would like to review what types of plantings they have in there as far as
this streetscape. They are proposing an additional ten feet beyond the required
right-ot-way, but with the end result of what they're proposing would be very nice
section. The only caveat would be Staff would ask that any development at least
on the east side of Locust Grove Road be required to match this same
construction and have the same kind of - even the eight-foot wide pathway with
asphalt, at least, so it's consistent so we don't just have a quarter mile that look
like that. This is section that shows in more detail how that will look once it's
completed. They're showing the two thru-Ianes, the turn lane, bike lane, and
then they would have the planting strip and then pathway. So it is a nice view
there. Other than that, we have met for a long time. They have put a lot of work
into it. They have answered virtually all of our questions and have been very
responsive to any time we've asked to additional information, we will be working
out some details as part of the preliminary plat, but Staff supports the project and
would recommend approval and asks for your decision on the Weatherby
connection. If you have any questions.
Corrie: Mr. Gigray.

Gigray: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, just for purposes of the record,
there have been some different transmittals from our office with regard to the
recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission, and I just want to
point out for the record that the official transmission is the one received by the
Clerk's Office dated received December 6, 1999, which I think you have in your
packets. I believe it has front sheet from the Clerk's office, and you'l( see
received 12/6/99. It'l( reference this particular - Excuse me. Yeah. It's right
here. It has handwritten on it, updated corrected, replace old set in packet, and
you'll see a received stamp for recommendation to Council December 6, 1999.
That's the correct one.
Stiles: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Shari.
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, I just got this tonight, so I didn't get a chance to
look at it. I'm not sure that this is entirely consistent with what the Planning and
Zoning Commission recommended. It does include some of the comments of
Staff. On Page 3, Item 1.1, even though Brad did include some language about
the 25 percent and the 75 percent, it's impossible for us to - that PD section has
been interpreted in so many different ways that it's really hard for us to quantify
what it even means. We're having Carla Olsen re-do our Planned Development
Ordinance. That is in the works now. We would like that 1.1 to be stricken. I'm
not sure that Planning and Zoning Commission was in agreement with that.
Then on 1.2, that's what we were discussing about the Weatherby Stub. That
was Planning and Zoning's recommendation. I'm not sure that they were
recommending the 20-foot wide planting strip to be required. I'm sorry. I don't
have this revised copy. If you're referring to this - I am looking at this, it says
updated, corrected, replace old set in packet. But this that I just got, apparently,
does anyone have this? This was faxed Ed Miller from - Bill. But this is what I
picked up in my packet tonight at 6:00.
Bird: Is that for 0 or for-
Rountree: It's this one. It's just got the wrong cover sheet on it.
Bird: That's the one you told me wasn't right.

right. That's-
Bird: The one that we received, this one right here?
Gigray: Yeah. It's the one that - it has a cover sheet on it, and this is where
we're getting confused which is - this is the Clerk's office has had a number of
transmittals, so it's not their problem. It's just so we get the record clear here. I

have in front of me that's in my packet the document that's a routing slip from the
Clerk's office dated December 7th that says Woodbridge Communities, LLC, but it
references Item No. 0 for the Consent Agenda and actually, this has attached to
it the recommendations that we've identified of the - to the City Council from the
Planning and Zoning Commission on this particular matter which is the plan - the
conditional use permit, case no. CUP-99-037. It consists of 12 pages. It has a

top?
Gigray: I'm looking at the footers.

Pete O'Niell: Good evening. My name is Pete OINiel1. I'm President of O'Niell
Enterprises. We're the managing member of Woodbridge, LLC. I'll introduce my
son Derek who's Vice President of Development, Scott Beecham, Development
Assistant, and Ed Miller who's talking with Shari at the moment. I'd introduce the
rest of our team in terms of planners and engineers, but don't need to do that,
that's all part of the record. I would like to just point out that here's a list of
meetings we've had with the City of Meridian. It started 18 months ago with the
first meeting and started in earnest a year ago, nine months ago with a number
of meetings. Since that time, it was submitted in September to Planning and
Zoning. Heard the application on October 12, and it was really the 12 and 13. I
think that was the meeting that ended close to 3:00 a.m. in the morning, and they
wisely deferred a decision until November 9th at which point in time the Planning
and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval with specific
conditions of approval, recommended to the Council that they approve with
specific conditions. On the 16th of November, the City Council met to hear the
annexation and zoning part ot the application which you did at that time. The
next day on the 1 ih of November, we were in front of the Ada County Highway
District which unanimously approved the plan including the use of the connection
to Green Hill Estates as an emergency vehicle/pedestrian access only within a
50-foot right-ot-way. So there was the option to do more than that at some point
in time. The minutes from the Highway District are available. Should be
distributed to you. I think just to try to clarify a little bit of the confusion that just
took place: If I understand what Mr. Gigray mentioned as the official transmittal
from Planning and Zoning Commission that was dated the 7th is essentially
\,

correct. The Planning and Zoning Commission approved it subject to the
conditions that were put forth with some modifications to one condition which is
Condition 7C, and there's a slight error in the transmission because we didn't see
this until today either. It is not consistent with the minutes of that meeting. I think
it's a clerical issue as opposed to anything more. This, I think, technically is
being submitted to you, and correct me if I'm wrong, counselor, is being
submitted as the recommendation of Planning and Zoning. What Planning and
Zoning Commission also mentioned is because Shari was concerned that there
was a 3D-some-odd conditions that she wasn't comfortable without reviewing
them further as written, they should go forward. So we met on the 22nd of
November with representative of Mr. Gigray's office and Shari, and worked
through each of those 31 conditions. They were attached to the packet that we
sent out to you last Friday as Appendix 5A, and it was the red line version of what
Mr. Gigray handed out today. They're a little out of sequence. What Mr. Gigray
handed out essentially came first, these were the revisions to that that were
agreed to on a long transmittal letter, here's what we agreed to and here's what
we haven't, and then as of - Shari was gone for a period of time, so she didn't
have a chance to review the red lined additions until yesterday, so there was a
meeting yesterday afternoon, and subsequently, I believe she's going to had this
out today, subsequently, there's further revisions to five of those conditions which
are revisions of clarification, and I believe those are part of the records. If not, I
believe they should be. Why don't we submit these. These were available for
your review. So if you take the ones in Appendix A with these additions, that is
what the staff and ourselves have agreed to (inaudible) except the wording in
Condition 7C. Having heard Shari's report, I'm not altogether sure we even have
a disagreement on that. So I think she covered it verbally quite well of what it is
we're proposing. I don't know if that sheds any light on this or not. I mean, just
this passing comment, we have always made it a practice to submit a book just
for the very reason you all witnessed. The sections one, two, three and four -
this is the exact information that was presented and gone over at Planning and
Zoning Commission. You're looking at the same information that they did. The
Appendix is things that have happened subsequently to that or concurrently with
that, so we put them separately so there's no legal question of which came first
and so on. That's - we try to go to all this trouble to get it out so the - if one has
a chance to read it all, it hopefully clarifies the issue. There was another -
there's two other transmittals that were either put in your boxes that you may
have gotten. It may have been put in and taken back that were just dead wrong
that were done last week in Shari's absence and I believe Mr. Gigray's absence.
They tried to get something out and it was just not correct. I believe that's been
pulled and corrected. I guess where we go from here - as I mentioned, the only
issue I believe that we would presumably take exception with the Staffs report
and what you've seen now in writing is that Condition 7C, and that really has to
do with the use and configuration of the connection to Green Hill Estates to the
north. So I guess at this point in time I would just again point out that Planning
and Zoning Commission is recommending approval. The neighbors, and the
reason it lasted until three in the morning, A, we didn't start until eight, but there
(

was a substantial testimony of strongly opposed. They strongly opposed the full-
time connection to Green Hill Estates. They were very much supportive of the
project with that as an emergency vehicle and pedestrian connection. ACHD
approved it. Their policy is similar to the City's. The liked the connectivity to all
the neighboring deals, but given the particular conditions of this, they accepted
and approved the emergency vehicle only and pedestrian only access to the
north of Green Hill Estates. As a practical matter, the staff is in agreement with
what it is we'd like to do. Rather than take a lot of your time, I do want to come
back and to put in prospective with the site plan the issues surrounding the
connection to Green Hill Estates just so we can make sure there isn't any
confusion on that. Before I do that, I guess I would follow your lead as to what
level of detail you'd like us to present the project. We've put it in the package for
you. We've got overheads of all of those things. We can give you a detailed
presentation. We can give you an overview. We can just do none of the above
and - other than to frame the Green Hill Estate connection issue. I'd look to your
Council on how you want to proceed from here. We can - we gave you a little bit
of an overview. Last time we could refresh that and not go into a whole lot of
detail if that's your pleasure, but given the hour, I don't want to give you a
presentation that you're not interested in hearing.
Rountree: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: (inaudible) overview of your proposal - I think we know what you're
proposing. What you're recommending is it relates to (inaudible) access and -
those highlights that you feel may be of issue, and then you'll have an
opportunity (inaudible) rebut anything that comes up (inaudible).
Corrie: Okay. Anything - Council comments?
Bird: I have none.
Pete O'Niell: So you'd like a brief overview?
Corrie: I've got a couple of questions, too. I'm not - I don't have the same thing
that you've given us in the booklet form. (inaudible) modifications (inaudible) 7th,
but go ahead and I'll see if we can work this out here.
Pete O'Niell: Okay. Again, as we've - we'll just go through a few-
*** End of Side 4 ***
Pete O'Niell: -- of this community is a variety of housing types and price points. It
isn't a homogeneous subdivision of all similar sizes of houses and all similarly
priced houses. We arranged them in neighborhoods that are human scale and
(

are typically loop roads so that there is not thru-traffic in your neighborhood.
Then we try to separate those neighborhoods with open spaces in between so
that not every home site is - we try to get a SO/50 balance between home sites
that have fences on three sides and some that open up onto open space. We
used to try to get everything onto open space and found that there are a number
of people that like a totally fenced in yard. We tried to get some half-and-half.
We like the open feeling. I think another major characteristic of this project as in
others is there is a hierarchy of streets. Woodbridge Drive is a full 37 -foot of
pavement with no parking allowed, and it serves as just a residential collector to
get to the little neighborhood streets. The section that's included shows a
setback meandering sidewalk on one side and heavily landscaped to 72-foot
right-af-way. We would have a license agreement with ACHD to maintain heavy
landscaping. Very similar to what's going down through Surprise Valley, not
dissimilar to what goes down through River Run. Then as you get into the
neighborhood streets, they're 29-foot section sidewalks on both sides, but again,
they don't go anywhere other than serve that neighborhood. They don't have to
be expandable in the future. I think Shari did a good job in explaining the
proposal for Locust Grove. I think another characteristic would be the active
community center which Shari touched on. There's roughly four acres of open
space there and play fields, swimming pool, small clubhouse and parking for the
use of the residents. Again, we put open space into different categories. Some
of it is the usable space there at the recreation center. There are some pocket
parks in some of the neighborhoods that just soften the entry to the
neighborhoods and gives the kids a place to romp around locally, then there's the
separations between the neighborhoods. There's also that heavily landscaped
area along Locust Grove. There are some environmentally sensitive issues on
the property; there is some delineated wetland which runs down through here.
They need to be enhanced. It's pretty trampled at this point in time, so that's a
little wider section that we'll try to retain the or regain the wetland character down
through there. Then you have Five Mile Creek which is really the distinguishing
feature to this community. There's quite a bit of elevation difference from the top
there down to Five Mile Creek. It, again, is pretty trashed with the cattle
operation over years. We've had good success in enhancing those and
rehabilitating them, so there's roughly a four-acre strip right through the middle of
the project, 2/3 through the project that will go along the Five Mile Creek.
There's also a pathway that goes through there. Talking about pathways, we find
that the number one attribute that most residents like in our communities is the
pathway system. More so than tennis courts or swimming pools or something.
They like to be able to get out, walk around, not being on the streets. We've got
pathways all over the place here. You can get from neighborhood to
neighborhood without going out to the main road by cutting through little paths in
the open space. All of the pathways lead to the Ree Center sooner or later, and
then we've got the pathway on Five Mile Creek. Now, the Five Mile Creek
pathway is designed that if, as and when the City of Meridian is able to - in your
Comprehensive Plan there's a major statement in terms of Five Mile Creek being
connected publicly, so if that ever connects to anything, that pathway is designed
/
i
Meridian City Council Meeting
December 7, 1999
Page 59
to connect and continue on beyond the borders of this property and can be made
into a public amenity. What have I forgotten here? Oh. There was some
concerns by some of the neighbors in terms of neighborhood fencing. I think we
will provide good-neighbor fencing wherever we interface a neighboring
community. Good-neighbor meaning it looks good on both sides; there's not a
good and bad side to that. I commented on the interface with the Meridian City
parks and pathway system. The Locust Grove Street section (inaudible)
irrigation system. We do have water and water rights. We've worked with
Nampa Meridian Irrigation District and will provide pressurized irrigation to all of
the landscaping. We will also deliver the irrigation water to all of the downstream
users; either in surface, ditches or some other means that is satisfactory to the
irrigation users in the district. We're willing to commit to not exceeding the 283
home sites that we're suggesting even though the zoning would mathematically
calculate to more. Shari touched on the fact that as the CU or PUD, in order to
make this all work, we have some variances and terms of square footage of lot
sizes, frontages of lots, setbacks and they're all laid out in a chart that is in the
material and gone over in great detail with staff and Planning and Zoning. Those
are the trade-offs. We found that customers like it, we like it, do some different
sized housing, lots, setbacks in turn for the open space and the pathway system
and the recreation amenities. With that, as a very quick overview, is there
anything else we missed? The whole issue, then, becomes - not the whole
issue, but the issues that seem to have (inaudible) the most concern with the
neighbors and staff here at Meridian and at ACHD for that matter, is this whole
Green Hill Estates access. But to put that in prospective, the primary access to
the project is off of Locust Grove Road, and you can see the way that it's drawn
there. It's kind of a very loose rendering of a pretty substantial entry, and that is,
according to traffic study, where how many? What percentage? 90 plus percent
of the traffic will enter there. High percentage. As you know, thanks to the work
of Mayor Corrie and others, hopefully Locust Grove Road is going to improved
with an overpass and carry some traffic sooner than later. Which moves the
problem down to Franklin, and we're all aware of that, and hopefully we can be
part of the solution to that issue. So when we started looking, okay, that's how
you get in. How do you have a second way in and out of the property? The easy
thing for us to do would have been to use the existing 50-foot dedicated right-of-
way on Green Hill (inaudible) going into Autumn Way and just run the street out
there and say we're done. I mean, here's how you get in, here's how you get
out, and we're done. We did meet with the Green Hill neighbors and the
neighbors all around us. It was very -we did nit need a lesson in politics or
anything else to understand that would not be a popular suggestion with the
neighbors in Green Hill Estates. So we started looking at - we had been looking
at the connection to the east to Magic View Subdivision. It became clear that
really the way the traffic ought to flow is from West Locust Grove Road, and if
there's a second way out, it ought to be headed east and connect up with Magic
View at a signalized intersection on Eagle Road. Now there's two schools of
thought on that. One is that it should be a direct connection and just siphon a lot
of traffic through. The other school of thought is that it's somewhat of an indirect
(
Meridian City Council Meeting
December 7, 1999
Page 60
(
connection. You can get there, but you're not substituting for the major highways
like Franklin and whatnot that are designed, and should be designed, to carry the
traffic and not siphon off traffic through the project. We opt, obviously, for the
secuitous (sic) route. Planning and Zoning supported that. The Highway District
supported it. So the only issue to the east, and we've agreed on when that has
to be identified, and when it has to be built is does it come out the southeastern
corner and make a hard turn to the south - to the east and connect up with an
existing cul-de-sac, platted cul-de-sac, or do we go out somewhere else?
Everyone has a different opinion on where that ought to be. Our opinion is, we'll
put it anywhere. I think it's really a function how that Magic View area develops.
If it doesn't develop by the time we need to put it through, we've got to figure a
way to get it out. So that is our view of where the secondary access goes. Then
you get to Green Hill Estates and I think a full-time access through there at this
time of - full-time vehicular - is a belt and suspenders. Traffic studies say you
don't need it. You can carry all the traffic back out to Locust Grove Road and
work its way through Magic View onto Eagle Road, and you really don't need a
third full-time access to Green Hill Estates; on the other hand, there is an existing
50-foot right-of-way. We said we would match it up with a 50-foot right-of-way,
but strongly you're urged, and our plan revolves around that being an emergency
vehicle access, both of the benefit of the residents of Green Hill Estates in case
their roads get tied up, there is another way for emergency vehicles to access
Green Hill through Woodbridge and vice-versa. We want to - and it be a
pedestrian connection so kids and neighbors can walk and play with their
neighbors without having to get out on the busy streets and go around. So we
want to make very clear the different issue. The issue, I think, is the use of the
connection to Green Hill which is emergency vehicle and pedestrian-only within a
dedicated 50-foot right-af-way that could be changed as needed in the future.
Second issue is the design and the timing of it. Everybody has a different view of
the design, and I think we changed wording and the conditions (inaudible) -
design acceptable to the Fire Department, acceptable to the Highway District,
acceptable to Meridian and acceptable to ourselves and the Green Hill people. I
think the intention is to make it soft from a visual standpoint and a pedestrian
standpoint, but to make it functional from Fire Department standpoint and
emergency vehicle standpoint that you don't have to be a rogue scholar to figure
out how to get through it. It's pretty straight path to get equipment and trucks
through. Whether that's a gate or breakaway ballard or whatever, we'll work that
out with the technical folks. We've done it both ways. So those are the issues. I
think the wording is correct as it relates to the uses, emergency vehicle and
pedestrian. I think there's an error in the transmittal today which one could get
confused - the level of development and just when it happens. We've committed
that by the 100th occupancy permit that that emergency access is functional. You
can get to it, you can get a truck through it, you can respond to emergencies.
Then between that and the development of Phase II, that's how that would
function. When we develop Phase II and the loop road around there, that will be
finished in its permanent condition with the hard surface and the landscaping to
go in as we do the rest of the project. Is that stated properly? So that's the - as
(

quick as I can make it, and I guess I'd rather take your valuable time answering
the questions rather than trying to guess what it is you might want to hear.
Corrie: Questions? Okay.
Pete O'Niell: I guess I would having listened to Mr. Bird's motion, and I certainly
understand it if I was in your position and got thrown that much stuff in that
confusing manner, I'd say, wait a minute. You get organized, and we'll talk about
it later. I'm not sure you have to do that. I think - I'd like to see act on this -
we've been very responsive. We've gotten drafts out. I think other than this
presentation tonight, I think it is pretty clear the steps that have gone through and
really is not that much - there is no debate in terms of - as long as you confirm
that this is an emergency pedestrian connection and not a thru-vehicle
connection. I think the redline drafts work with one minor edit. It would be OUf,
obviously, our want to go ahead and act on this.
Corrie: Okay. No questions ot Council, we'll see what somebody else has to
say.
Pete Q1Niell: Okay.
Corrie: Okay. It's a public hearing. Is there any other for the project at this
point? Okay.
Rockrohr: My name's Dick Rockrohr. I live at 2715 Autumn Way.
Corrie: Okay. Spell your last name.
Rockrohr: R-O-C-K-R-O-H-R. I guess I'm representing the Homeowners
Association tonight. Usually there's a roomful at my neighbors in these things,
but we kind of thought it was all done as far as we were concerned after going
through Planning and Zoning and having them vote unanimously that they
wanted it to be a soft-access with ballards like we discussed. Then going to
ACHD and have them vote unanimously also that the secondary access should
come out and go to the east into Magic View and then access the light on Eagle
Road across from St. Luke's. So the neighbors were all happy, and then we
heard that Staff is going to (inaudible) their demand that it be a regular access
through there, so I guess I was the only one who got mobilized and got down
here. The homeowners in Green Hills are supportive of a project like this rather
than something that wouldn't be near as attractive. We like the open space, but
we realize that development's going to happen. The access as proposed which
gives the option for the right-at-way it in some time in the future in that we really
need it, but still reserves the quality of our neighborhood as a quiet cul-de-sac
type neighborhood opposed to one-acre lots and half-acre lots that this is how
we'd like to see it and so far, everybody's agreed with us except for Staff, it
appears. So thanks a lot.

Corrie: Any questions from Council?
Bentley: I have none.
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Okay. Thank you. Anyone else to testify?
Meecham: My name's Brian Meecham, I live at 2159 Autumn Way, and I'm one
of the neighbors that showed up. I live just east of the Weatherby Drive stub, so
I'm the property that butts up against it. Mr. Fender, who's been here on many
meetings, he lives just to the west of stub road and he has asked that I represent
his views on this stub street. He was not able to attend. Kim Knowlton, who is
the Chairman of our committee that deals with this, we formed a committee in our
subdivision to deal with - work with the Woodbridge Development, and she was
unable to attend tonight and wanted you to know she's very interested. I'm a
member of that committee, so I represent the Committee and their views on
tonight. One of the things that I'd like to say is we have worked well with the
developer. They've been very open to and have given us good suggestions.
When we first started out in this process, we were saying we didn't want anything
coming through that road. We were basically saying let's keep this subdivision
separate. They worked with us, counseled with us that maybe we ought to be a
little bit more free with what we want, and we accepted an emergency vehicular
access and pathway approach. The only surprise tonight is this is the first time
I've seen the design of the developer's desire for what the pathway would look
like, and I would have to get somemore information, but as I look at it, I don't like
what they're proposing. I don't think a 12-foot asphalt pathway's good because a
car can get on that asphalt pathway pretty easily. I might have misunderstood,
so I'm willing to listen, but I do like the Planning and Zoning's recommendation of
the 18-foot grasscrete with a five-foot meandering sidewalk. Just so you know,
our subdivision's been very active in this. We went around our neighborhood
and you have, hopefully, our petitions. We had over 75 percent of our neighbors
sign the petitions to say that we only wanted, if anything, emergency vehicular
access. I think actually the petition said no vehicular access, we just wanted a
pathway, but we have caved and said emergency vehicular would be okay.
We've been to two Planning and Zoning meetings, and unfortunately I've been
here 'til three in the morning once and was a little disappointed when I heard you
were going to maybe continue this because, again, we sat here until this hour
tonight. We've also been represented at Ada County, and we've had quite a few
people at each meeting, and like my neighbor said, we kind of were hoping that
you would see the same way as those two government bodies. Just to give you
a brief, try to keep it real brief, is the history of the subdivision. It's over 20 years
old. I know that you've had to deal with this on the east end of our subdivision for
all the development that went with McDonald's, Chevron, and so you're probably
pretty familiar with our subdivision. You might be a little surprised that we are
(
Meridian City Council Meeting
December 7, 1999
Page 63
actually working with the developer here and not against the developer. Some of
the concerns that we have and why we want to limit the access to our subdivision
is we have few street lights in our subdivision. At nighttime, it's dark in our
neighborhood. We have no sidewalks in the acre lots, so we have no place for
our children to walk freely within the subdivision which is a concern even today.
There are no stop signs on any of our - I don't know if you have a picture of our
subdivision, but there are no stop signs except for the four exits. So we have
free-wheeling going on within our subdivision and any additional traffic would just
cause more problems. In fact, as I've almost been hit head-on twice because of
people cutting the corner on the road. We have seen increased traffic coming
from Franklin to cut through so they don't go through the Franklin Eagle
exchange. They cut through our subdivision, and at night, I've watched them cut
back through and go to Franklin to avoid, and there's where I've almost been hit
head-on as cars coming, flying by there that are on their way to Franklin. The
stub road at Weatherby has not ever been developed and has just been sitting
there. I've enjoyed the use of it for the last two years. Another thing we have in
our subdivisions, many walkers and joggers in our neighborhood. We have the
horse riding and the children. It's just a very nice little development. What we've
heard at the Planning and Zoning meeting is they've recommended the
emergency vehicular access. We understand that the first meeting, staff said no
way. It's got to be a road. Then at the second meeting, if I - I don't want to
quote incorrectly, but I think they said emergency vehicular access could be
considered. At the end of that second meeting, it was the recommendation of
Planning and Zoning to put grasscrete road and the five-foot meandering
sidewalk which, you know, same thing we heard at ACHD. The fact is, one of the
ACHD Commissioners said maybe we don't even need anything. Maybe we can
just not put anything there and then they quickly said, well, they need to be good
neighbors and have the access. We agree with that. We agree with the
developer. We think - we're in favor of the development. We know we had other
types of developments behind us, and we are very respectful of the work that
Q'Niell Enterprises has done in other developments and look forward to a nice
development in our back yard. Based on everything we've heard, our
recommendation from our subdivision is that you also approve emergency
vehicular access only and make this sidewalk and grasscrete so that it doesn't
look like a road. Anyway, we respectfully ask that you follow those
recommendations of the ACHD and the Planning and Zoning and the developer.
Thanks for your time.
Corrie: Thank you. Anyone else like to issue testimony? Yes, sir.
McMillan: My name is Reece McMillan. I live at 870 South Locust Grove Road.
I'm not an eloquent speaker like Mr. Q'Niell is. I want to get right to the point:
traffic. We now have a road coming our East Central coming down on Locust
Grove, and Mr. Bird said, well, one day we'll be (inaudible) paved. Now the City
is providing us with some pretty close police protection. We'll have another road
coming out on our road on Water Tower Lane. This road coming out of the

subdivision on this is going to throw more traffic on Locust Grove, and the only
thing I can say is that I wish this thing was postponed until they get some kind of
development down on the corner of Franklin and Locust Grove; stoplights,
something down there because right now we've got trucks coming in out of our
road which we never had before, and the traffic is more coming in. Now they're
going in Jabill, all the area up in that commercial district. Like I say, that's all I
have to say. I just wish this was postponed until we get something done on the
corner. Thank you.
Corrie: Thank you.
Fox: Alan Fox, 1840 Cadillac Drive. Mayor, Councilmen, I live at Locust View
Heights Subdivision which is on the lower part of this. I would like to see if you're
going to pass it that when you issue the permit so he can start his 80th home
there, the road goes out to east because those people in here are going to use
that. I have trouble getting out at 6:30 in the morning and go to work. I got traffic
coming in. So you put 200 in there before you shove it out the other way, we're
going to have a bottleneck that's going to be like - it'll carry it. We can run
everybody through Milwaukee and Franklin, too, but nobody wants to go to it.
That's what we'll have done there with no lights on it. So when you issue the 80th
permit, the road goes out the other way, and I'll bet you half of those people will
go out that way to hit Eagle if they're going on the freeway and go out because
it's going to be - it's hard to get on Franklin in the morning. That's all.
Corrie: Okay.
Lindley: I'm Ann Lindley, and I live at 1790 East Cadillac Drive in the Locust
View Subdivision. This new subdivision would also back up to my property. I
think it is well laid out. My main concern is the traffic on Locust Grove. Locust
Grove is a two-lane road, and part of it comes right off in a steep bank. Not far
from where their entrance would be. This could be a very dangerous situation.
We do need to have better access onto Franklin, and I really think this should be
postponed until Locust Grove, the Locust Grove situation is taken care of. One
other thing that I don't know whether they know that Five Mile Creek
occasionally, when we have a real heavy rainstorm does flood. It becomes very
wide. So they maybe need to know about this. I think that's about all I have
tonight. Thank you.
Corrie: Anyone else like to issue testimony?
Lindley: I'm Mervin Lindley. Most of my concerns have been mentioned, but-
Corrie: Give us -
(~
Meridian City Council Meeting

Lindley: -- and concerned a little bit about the high density of housing. I prefer to
see it lower. As it was also brought up that there should be a second access to
the subdivision.
Corrie: Okay. Give me your name and -
Lindley: Mervin Lindley.
Corrie: Address.
Lindley: 1790 East Cadillac Drive.
Corrie: So we get it on the record. Thanks.
Lindley: That's all. Thank you.
Corrie: Anyone else? Okay. Which one of you want to take any questions that
they might have had? I guess I've got a couple of questions, Pete. Are you
aware of the Five Mile Drain and the possible flooding -
Pete OINiall: I was going to start at the bottom and work my way up. Yeah.
We've - do that work very seriously and studied all of the data. There is a
floodway and a flood plain related to Five Mile Creek. We've walked one end of
it from and driven from one end to the other, and there's going to be a lot of
backed up culverts from one end to the other because there's all kind of places
that are pretty strained. The reason we're calling it Woodbridge is we couldn't
come up with a culvert design that would really carry the presumed flood flows if
they could get through some of the other constrictions and get down there, so we
actually planned to build a bridge, ultimately, that would pass the flood flows. As
it relates to the traffic on Locust Grove and the intersection at Locust Grove and
Franklin, we truly want to be a part of the solution, not part of the problem. At
least it seems that the way you get things done is you kind of make the problem
bad enough that there's some momentum going to fix it. I would just as soon try
to take a leadership position with the City and anyone else who would like to join
us and all of the property owners that have recently come on and will contribute
to that. There's no reason we couldn't put some kind of LID in effect and
accelerate the improvement of that intersection. We're going to try to sell homes
there. If people can't get to them or get from them, that's going to be hard to do,
so we're in agreement with the neighbors that that should be a very, very high
priority, and we'll do our pro rata share with Jabill and everybody else who is
accessing onto that road, and I work with wh'oever you folks would like to work
with to try and accomplish that. I think we're going to get further by being
proactive with the Highway District than just saying you can't do anything until the
road's approved - improved, and never will get approved. Other than that, the
folks from Green Hill Estates are consistent with their other representatives at
other meetings and don't really have a need to say anymore on that.

Corrie: Okay. One other question. Somebody brought up (inaudible) that east
road to Eagle Road; how soon do you want - are you planning on putting that in
80 homes or 200 homes?
Pete O'Niell: Well, the condition as written, I believe from memory, somebody
can read it while I'm - is that we need to identify prior to platting anything on the
east side of Five Mile Creek, we need to identify where that's going to be. Prior
to the issuance of the 200th building permit, which would be the beginning of
construction in the second phase, we actually have to have it built and functional.
And the Highway District said, you know, 250 is when it should be connected. It
would be, frankly, a hardship we probably could not work at 80 or 100 to build a
road all the way through to connect through some people's pasture land that
don't want to be connected early on, so I just don't think that's going to work. But
as a condition reads, we have to identify prior to platting the second phase which
is the east side of Five Mile Creek, and we have to have it operational by the
200th building permit.
Corrie: Any other questions? Okay. Thank you.
Pete O'Niell: I - this would - for the record, that's like counselor says, we believe
that the conditions of approval that we hope that you will approve are included in
Appendix A with the addition of what was handed out to you earlier that says
agreed modifications to conditions of approval December 7th, and those two
combined become the recommended conditions of approval with the one addition
that in 7e, the stricken sentence that says, until the 166th certificate of occupancy
issued the emergency access may be (inaudible) all-weather service, that had
been inadvertently stricken; shouldn't have been because you could read that
condition that we'd have to put the grasscrete hard surface, everything in when
we connected on the 100th house for emergency purposes, so this gap and logic,
if you read that, and that shouldn't have been stricken. But other than that, I
believe those are the conditions that everyone has agreed to.
Gigray: Point of information.
Corrie: Mr. Gigray.
Gigray: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, I might mention that from a
procedural standpoint that I did participate on meeting with the developer's
representatives, and we used as a base document what I think Mr. Q'Niell is
identifying is Appendix A, I'm looking at a document that has a reference
conditions of approval, Woodbridge Planned Development, and then it's dated
November 9, 1999, appears to be a staff report with a redlining and strikethrough
which was the source document that we used at that meeting. Then, as I
understand it, Mr. O'Niell's representatives, and I think Mr. Ed Miller's present
here, then supplied what is called this Agreed Modifications Conditions of
Approval dated December 7, 1999, which references certain conditions therein,
(c
Meridian City Council Meeting
December 7, 1999
Page 67
and I would, and the reason I point this out, I think this may help the Council
focus on what conditions are being talked about, and you might want to ask Shari
if that's her understanding of what she's addressing, and I would also point out
from a legal standpoint, my advice would be I would have some concern of what I
see is Condition 31, and that's not in these documents I just identified. I'm
talking about the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission. I
would point out that the Development Agreement which is being - has been
prepared for signature on the part of this developer would include a provision in
that that the Development Agreement would be automatically amended by the
conditions of conditional Use approval, and the circumstances of parcel A which
this is, planned development residential application which is yet to come. But the
way Condition 31 reads in the Planning and Zoning Commission, it would
supplant any conditions of a conditional use permit or at least, I would interpret
31 as implying that, and when you grant a conditional use permit and it has
conditions in it, that operates under one section of your code, and under the
State Law in terms of how you can enforce conditional use permits, Development
Agreements, the ability to enforce those is pretty restricted issues of zoning and
zoning act, and that's why I don't like Condition 31 in the Planning and Zoning
recommendation, because other - what the conditions in Appendix A and as
modified makes reference to the fact that the PDR regulations that the Planned
Development Regulations allow them certain variances if approved by Council
from a subdivision otherwise provided by the Subdivision Ordinance, and we
understand that will be part of their application process. I want to make sure that
there isn't something in your Findings that would say that you would override
your Subdivision Ordinance because you won't be. Clearly, this is a conditional
use permit process which will result in if you granted a conditional use permit
which will have an order and there are ways of enforcing those permits and
conditions through the conditional use process which is a different process of
enforcement than a Development Agreement.
Pete Q'Niell: We 100 percent concur with the dating and whatnot as where these
conditions came from. The Condition 31, as submitted by Planning and Zoning
Commission has been modified in Appendix A and further modified in the
addition today to include exactly the thing that City Council pointed out that there
are conditions, there are parts of your Subdivision Ordinance and other
ordinances that goverl1 if they're independent from any of the other things that
have been agreed to. That was a change.
Gigray: I would just recommend, and I'm sorry to interrupt here, that you might
allow Shari to address this so that you're clear you're getting her
recommendation as it relates to those documents because I think it makes it
clear to follow. That is Appendix A in this (inaudible).
Stiles: Yes. It would be under Section 5, Section 5A and starting on Page 5
through Page 13, then with the additional modifications that were faxed to us
today from Mr. Miller, I don't even have a particular problem with the 7C provided

on Page 7 that the permanent vehicular access is a decision of ACHD and the
City of Meridian and not the developer and the residents of Green Hill Estates.

Stiles: Yes.
Rountree: The developer and the residents of Green Hill Estates.
Corrie: Okay. Questions of Staff? Further discussion? Still?
Rockrohr: Can I ask a question?
Corrie: Yeah. It's still a public hearing. We'll give you (inaudible).
Rockrohr: Dick Rockrohr, 2715 Autumn Way. If at the future time City of
Meridian and ACHD decide to make the emergency access into a full road, will
we be notified and have chance to comment?
Corrie: Yep. But what I'm - counselor, surely would; is that correct?
Gigray: And I think, basically, that what Shari was referring to was Item 20 in
their Appendix A and what, if I'm correct, Shari, please correct me if I
misunderstand this; she's saying what she would like left in the language as
otherwise required by the Ada County Highway District. I think this has to do with
this road section. I may be wrong. She can correct me.
Stiles: What page are you looking at?
Pete Q'Niall: Pete Q'Niell again. Obviously we'd love to be able to have equal
status with the City of Meridian and the Highway District, but that is not an
unreasonable request. I do think, however, as Mr. Rockrohr pointed out, would
be a reasonable request if the records show and that condition clearly showed
that it needed to be subject to a public hearing on the part of the Highway District
and the City of Meridian. Otherwise it could be - the neighbors could accuse
someone of treachery. We don't want that to happen.
Corrie: Okay. Any other questions?

Let's get this thing going.
Rountree: Shari, go ahead and start explaining the Cherry Lane final plat to us if
you have any comments.
Stiles: This is the property that is the final connection between the Lakes at
Cherry Lane and Ashford Greens Subdivision. This is where the parking lot for
the golf course's clubhouse is. This is where the clubhouse will be constructed.
This was originally included as part of Ashford Greens, but the option was not
picked up by Brighton, and Steiner did end up with this piece. The preliminary
plat included this portion platted, and unfortunately, the preliminary plat also
included about 20 feet in some cases of the City's golf course property. Maybe-
I don't know if Mr. Gigray could expand on where we might be with any kind of a
land transfer, but they have chosen to just leave this piece out at this time. We
got the response from the applicant dated December 6th, and we had asked in
our comments that they go ahead and put this in here now and they could have
that as a lot, but that they said they didn't want to adjust these lots at this time
and that they would come in at a later time if and when that land exchange
occurs that they can, I guess, have - they'll either plat one lot or they'll do a re-
subdivision to incorporate all the lots that might have some of the current city
property in it. It's pretty straight forward. All the lots meet R-4 requirements,
meet or exceed R-4 requirements. The Eight Mile lateral will be piped here, and
it will be left open here where it goes through the golf course. Other than that,
we recommend approval. I don't know if anybody's even here for the applicant.
Rountree: Said she was leaving.
Stiles: Oh. Okay.

Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, Gary Lee left. This is pretty straight-forward
project. They have a road coming through here that will stub into this 20-acre
parcel where the Police Department's apparently taking 1 0 acres of this site. I
would like to amend one of our site-specific requirements on Page 2, Site-
Specific Requirement No. 2 to delete the last sentence of that paragraph that we
won't require a letter of credit or cash. We wanted the detailed landscape plan
just so we had that on record so that we could have a consistent treatment,
landscape treatment on Stratford and didn't have to negotiate with each lot owner
as they came in. So we have agreed to delete that requirement. Other than that,
it's real straight fOlWard and we recommend approval.

Credit Union, Lots 15, 25, 18 and 19 in Block 2 of Honor Park Subdivision NO.3.
At this time, I'll open the public hearing and Staff comments first.
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, I can't quite recall if we got the non-Development
Agreement lifted on this yet. Was that submitted? There is a non-Development
Agreement, I believe, on these two lots here on this portion of it. Nothing's been
constructed. They will request that. There's also going to be needed a vacation
of the easements that were recorded. There's a 10-foot wide public utilities
easement centered on lot lines, and that will be accomplished prior to us
accepting building permits. They have proposed on these four lots the corporate
headquarters for Capital Educators Credit Union, Federal Credit Union. Very
nice-looking building. Lots of landscaping will be included, I'm sure.
Bentley: Was that a hint?

recommendations of Planning and Zoning Commission, just hope you might ask
to clarify if that's what they're addressing and also with Shari or if we're dealing

Corrie: Okay. Department reports. Gary Smith.
Smith: Thank you, Mr. Mayor, Council members. We had a bid opening on
November 10th for construction of a vehicle storage building at the Wastewater
Treatment Plant for construction of - for storage of vehicles, and it's actually two
buildings, two covered buildings. These are pole buildings with metal siding and
metal roofing, and they're open on the north side of the building is open, and the
east side of the building is open of the L-shaped shown on the plan that's
attached to the bid. We had two bids that were received out of three contractors
that took out the bid documents for bidding. We had one responsive bid out of
those two by Gafford Construction of Boise for $134,018.18. The non-responsive
bidder didn't complete the bid form and didn't include a bid security, so he was
disqualified. So our recommendation from Public Works Department is to award
the bid to Gafford Construction of Boise, Idaho, in the amount of $134,018.18 for
the construction of the two storage vehicle buildings at the Wastewater
Treatment Plant.

B. FIRE CHIEF - KENNY BOWERS:
1. WORK ORDER CHANGE FOR NEW FIRE STATION:
Bowers: Mayor Corrie and City Council members, this is a work order change
that Ron Anderson and myself and Assistant Chief Joe Silva worked on. At first,
our auxiliary generator that we had, we did not think was going to be big enough
to power the administrative side of our fire station. We just concentrated on the
bays where the fire trucks were at and the living quarters. After getting all the
facts from our generator, we were able to find out that we were able to power the
administrative side also from our emergency generator. Emergency lighting in
the Chief's - the Assistant Chiefs and the Fire Marshal's offices, in the reception
area we were able to have some emergency lighting. Also this is a request that if
there is a disaster in the City of Meridian or in our fire district, we do not have a
place that we can turn into an instant command area that we would have
Meridian City Council Meeting
December 7, 1999
Page 79
availability of a fax machine, a copy machine, phones if the phone system is
down if we could plug into regular phones. Talking to Ron, by the change order
here, we have worked on to also our training room would be turned into an IC
room and we'd be able to run off of our emergency generator. So if there was a
disaster in the City, the Mayor, the City Council, the Police, the Water
Department, the Sewer Department could come to our fire station and use it as
an instant command. Basically, that was the changes that we had worked on for
this work order change.
Corrie: And you have another one for $613 (inaudible) -
Bowers: Yeah. That'd be later.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I move that we approve this change order for Beniton Construction for the
changes in the electrical at the administration side and the training room for the
sum of $3,459, and I believe that takes care of Beniton's markup bond and their
supervision. Should be total.
Bowers: Yes.

3. ADDITIONAL COST REQUEST FOR NEW FIRE STATION:
Bowers: The next item I have, the manufacturer - excuse me. Our architect and
the builder got together and approved of purchasing some beams that go inside
our bays of our fire station that would cut building time by a month that if they
were spliced together instead of waiting for the full beam to come. Somehow, we
were left out of the loop on the project. When the beams got here, they were
somewhere between $2500 and $3000 more. They didn't know for sure what we
had approved of earlier. ZGA and the builder, I believe, argued over this point for
quite a few months. Finally, the ZGA had came to conclusion that it should be
the City Council with the last word of should we do this or not. The final bill was
$2,805 for the two beams.
Bird: How much?
Bowers: $2,805.
Bird: This was above the other cost, huh?
Bowers: Yes.
Bentley: So which beams did we get?
Bowers: We got the beams that were spliced together that cut the building time
by a month, they said. If we would have had a full beam, we would have had to
wait another month until they ran the raw material.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Yeah., Kenny, I see this happened back on July 22nd when the bids come
in from Outland Steel, we could save four to six weeks. I don't think we're four to
six weeks ahead of schedule out there, personally. If we're going to finish in
February which was the original schedule date, we're a long ways from being
four to six weeks ahead of schedule. When they cost so much more, they're
asking for $613 more that was in the Change Order No.1? Has Beniton forgot to
put in their (inaudible)?
Bowers: That's exactly right. Change Order No. 1 was when we had the big
problem with Idaho Power bringing in the stuff. Beniton forgot to put in their profit
of $613 into that bill the first time around.

Rountree: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: My opinion on this change order is that we deny it. It seems to me
that the City was left out of the loop entirely in both of these issues. We did l in
good faith, approve the first change order assuming that that was all the costs in
this change order (inaudible) requested - beams, neither saved us money nor
got us ahead of schedule nor was done in our direction or our knowledge, and I
don't think that we should bear those costs. Not a lot of money, but --
Bird: I agree with you, Charlie. The thing I - Kenneth, the thing on this Change
Order No.2 breakdown, now is this - are you sure they're not asking for another
$2805? They got Change Order 2 breakdown.
Bowers: Yes. $2805.
Bird: They're asking for that plus the $613?
Bowers: $613 from the first change. Yeah. They're asking $2,400 for the
beams extra, then they've got the five percent markup, $120, Beniton
supervision, $230, and then two percent bond, $55. That adds up to $2,805.
Bird: Then did we approve this $2,805 yet?
Bowers: No, we have not.
Bird: This is what they're asking for right now. I didn't understand that because
in your thing it says $613 and then I'm going looking here and I thought, maybe
that's been ran through and they missed it. The only one we've approved is the
- well, we've approved the $3459 tonight.
Bowers: Yes. But I had talked to Ron Anderson on this. He was not in favor of
paying the whole thing either. He was wondering if the City Council and Beniton
and ZGA might want to try to pay part of it, a quarter of it, something like that, but
he was not in favor of paying it all.
Bird: I think they have to - I'd like to know - I'd like to see the facts and figures
on what the original beam bid was. What their costs was. What their costs on
Outland Steel. Get these beams - I'd like to see in their schedule where they've
saved - where they've pushed themselves eight weeks or six weeks ahead. I
don't believe they have. I am in agreement with Ron that I would like to sit down
before I approve this. This first change order, A, they ran the paper route
(inaudible) if they didn't put it in, I don't get a second chance. I guarantee if it
was me, they wouldn't give me a second chance.

Bowers: The $2805 on the beam, I believe the ZGA and Beniton was still
arguing back and forth of should it be put in a work order change or not or an
additional charge, and that's why it wasn't it on the first work order charge,
change excuse me. But that'll be fine. We can get -
Bird: Kenneth, when was our final occupancy date? Isn't it in February?
Bowers: Middle of February we're supposed to go through the check-off sheet.
Bird: We're going to be ready to get occupancy?

Bird: Now, you're telling me that we're going to do it the first of January?
Bowers: That's what he's saying now is that we'll move in right after the first of
January.

complete?

Bird: (inaudible) $100, but I don't see him doing it.
Bowers: There's a ton of work to do inside yet.

Bowers: Other than if we were behind a month, we might not have got the
trusses up quite soon enough and the roofing up to get to that point. We still
might have an open-air bay, maybe. I'm not sure. I don't know.

4. NEW FIRE WORKS ORDINANCE
Bowers: My last item is on the Fire Works Ordinance. I had passed out the new
Fire Works Ordinance to you guys, then one of our strategy meetings, Charlie
Rountree asked you to go through them. There are quite a few changes if you've
noticed. We've went from $10 a permit to $25 a permit now for safe and sane.
That's to do with investigational work; going to look at the site, going and
checking the booths a couple times during sales, and then going and checking
the property afterwards to make sure it's being cleaned off. Also, then, there is
$125 fee now for the permit for the displays of fireworks like at the speedway or
somebody else wants to come in and do that. That's to do with - that's much,
much more background checks for like Will has to do to make sure that they are
licensed to set them off and that they are qualified to do that. Where we picked
out most of this stuff, we got Boise's, Nampa's, Caldwell's, and the State's fire
works ordinances and just kind of melted them all together so we could come up
with one. I wasn't here tonight to pass this. I just wanted to let you guys be

sale dates now; July and then at end December. Our Ordinance now says only
July is the only time we can sell fireworks. Do you guys have some questions?
Bird: I have none.
Rountree: I guess the question is do we want it on an agenda soon? It's
probably time to be notice of a hearing. It has to be noticed -
Corrie: (inaudible)
Bowers: I didn't know what you guys thought of that $125 if you thought that was
way steep. I - we don't know on that. It went from $10 to $125. That's a pretty
good increase.
Rountree: Kenny, I'll tell you this. I got a friend of mine that sells these. He
takes off from work for two years, and he clears $30,000.
Bowers: Oh, yes. I realize that. And we deal with him here. He does a good job
for us here.
Corrie: We need to advertise (inaudible) public hearing (inaudible).
Gigray: We checked the amount. It's based on a reasonable application of staff
time. This isn't a revenue producer. We couldn't do that.
Bowers: Exactly. Okay. Thank you, Mayor and Council.

2~ SKEMA TIC DRAWING QUOTES FOR NEW POLICE
STATION:
Gordon: The next step on the land or the building design is the verification of the
needs assessment and the schematic design~ I've taken the liberty to get four
quotes. As you can see they vary greatly. The hourly not to exceed really
varied. The two fixed ones were still kind of high and then Lombard Conrad
came in with an hourly not to exceed $10,000, but that also includes incidental
expenses. When I asked incidental expenses were, it was photocopies, travel,
and he said they didn't - they shouldn't have to travel anywhere on this one, but
copies, things of this nature. You guys might understand a little bit more of that
than I do. I was really pleased. I've talked to all four of these architects. rve
gone over all of the literature they've provided and Lombard Conrad not only had
the lowest bid, but also had the best looking package as far as what they've
already designed~ They've done a lot of jails and a lot of court facilities and some
police stations. I would recommend Lombard Conrad, and the money's in my
budget.
Bentley: Mr~ Mayor.

c. POLICE CHIEF - CHIEF BILL GORDON:
3. POLICE GRANT:
Gordon: Thank you. The universal hiring program on the cops grant, I received
another letter. They've given me until the end of the month to aye or nay it.
They also informed me that if after we've gone - been awarded the grant that
they will remove us from that program. If the program keeps going, then we
won't be able to get back into it, period. Not just three years out. I don't know
how long they're going to go with that program. I can't stress the need for police
officers. We're not going to get them any cheaper than this. The information that
I've given you, the population based on the first - I think on Page 2, shows
projected population through APA, and they show we don't get to 38,000 until we
hit 2005. We're there now. The latest figures that are in nationally show that the
average police officer per 1 ,000 is 1.8. Average for departments our size is 1.5.
We're presently at 1.1. By this time next year, we'll be way below one officer per
1,000. Page 3 gives you the ratios and with the estimated population that we're
at right now, we should get 58 police officers. We're at 41. Page 4, the graph
gives you a visual look at where we're going right now at the present rate with the
increase in the population. Up until now, we've stayed low, but evenly low.
We're going to start separating more and more each time we come up with a
population change. The ratio down below shows you what we should be at for
the population. The cost is on Page 5. Costs for one officer for three years,
$135,500 roughly. With the grant, the costs for three years for a police officer
would be $68,000. Over a period of the three-year grant, it's going to save the
City on two officers $134,372. Page 6 kinds of gives you a breakdown of the
grants we've already used. We've hired eight officers off of this cops grant.
We've saved the City $500,000, $600,000 already just by using that program.
Page 7, I kind of threw that in there to give you some idea just how the workload
has been increasing. We have gone from 16,000 calls for service a year to
79,000 calls in the past ten years. That doesn't show - we're not talking major
crime. We're talking calls for service. That comes just with the population based
and the way it's increasing. The actual reports also have gone up considerably.
Here again, I'd hate to lose access to this program. We're going to be needing
more police officers as we grow, and I don't think we can get them any cheaper
(---

than what they're going to offer them to us for. My philosophy, yeah, is, and here
again, we were the only department in the State of Idaho that was offered this
grant, and the reason being, I think that they've seen the same thing that I've
seen: we're the fastest growing city in Idaho and have been for the last five or
six years. I understand now that we're the 15th fastest in the United States. They
see the need for police officers, and that's why they're keeping us in the program.
With that, I'll shut up. It's late.
Bird: I got a question. Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: On their cost (inaudible), they don't pay any part of the benefits, I was told.
Gordon: Yes, they do. They pay 75 percent of wages and benefits.
Bird: Of total.
Gordon: Yes. That's first year.
Bird: I understood they only paid 25 percent of the taxable wage.
Gordon: No. Wages and benefits. The grant for two officers for a three-year
period was not to exceed $150,000, and it doesn't. This money came from the
citizens of Meridian to the federal government, and I think this is a good
opportunity for us to bring some home.
Bird: What - have we got the WRICOPS report back yet?
Gordon: No, we don't. They're not going to get into officer needs.
Bird: Well, they're going to tell us if we're controlling -
Gordon: I asked them specifically.
Bird: -- I asked them if they was going to tell us, when they interviewed me, if
they was going to tell us if we were doing a community - doing our community
right policing, and they said, yes, that would be part of the report; if we had
enough officers.
Gordon: Well, not that we've got enough officers. Just that we're doing what the
citizens want us to do. The preliminary report said that everybody that they
interviewed in the City said or thought that Meridian was a safe place to live and
the Police Department was providing the service necessary. I'm not going to say
that's a slight of hand or a magic trick, but that's not going to go on forever. The
perception of the low crime rate is because we don't have a high crime rate. I
attribute that to the job that the guys are doing plus the job that you folks are
(

doing. This is a bedroom community, and it's a nice little town. rd like to keep it
that way.
Corrie: (inaudible)
Bird: it's not big, though, like Boise or something.
Gordon: I've seen towns -
*** End of Side 6 ***
cars that they see in town here. They think they belong to us, and they don't.
Those guys are - they're high visibility, but they don't take care of any of the calls
that we get for service.
Bentley: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bentley.
Bentley: Another thing we need to look at is not just the two officers we're
looking at this year is the officers in the future. Know we're going to keep
growing. (inaudible) tonight with a couple more plans to add quite a few homes.
If we're not going to keep up, we're just going to be wasting - well, we could
waste, wind up wasting a million dollars worth of tax dollars coming back. If
we're not going to keep adding the officers as we need them, then we might as
well close P & Z and tell them we're not going to do anymore building here. So
with that, I make the motion that we go ahead and okay the grant for these two
officers.
Rountree: I'll second.
Corrie: Motion's been made and seconded to approve the grant for the two
officers. Any further discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor of the motion

Corrie: Senior Citizen Center. The seniors have asked us if we would be
interested if they approve it to take over the senior citizens center. They've given
us some data from last year and this year. I told them that we would probably
have to look in with the Fire Marshal and all the other buildings and to give us
somemore reports. I would just like to see if the Council approves to go ahead
and look at that possibility for possible - doing it in October of 2000 so they could

could take a look at it. I guess what my question is whether you want me to
continue working with them and seeing what can be done as far as where we go,
what are we doing or whether we don't, but just to have the information for the
Council.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Seeings how I'm the oldest one, I'm getting the closest to the Senior

out. They definitely need some help, and what we can do to help them. They're
very important part of our community. They do need some help. I would
certainly like to see you proceed with it.
Corrie: Any other comments?
Rountree: Well, I think it's probably almost certainly the politically correct thing to
do, but how much have we explored this in the past, and I'm not sure there's
anything we're in power to do.

ITEM 18.
DEPARTMENT REPORTS
E. ATTORNEY - BILL GIGRAY:
1. CHERRY LANE RECREATION:
Gigray: I have - Mr. Mayor and members of the Council, for the record, Bill
Gigray, City Attorney. I have a few items I'd like to go over. First of all, I have
submitted to me for review, two agreements. One - the both concern the
purchase for the new site for the police station. One would be the listing
agreement with Dave Williams d/b/a Diamond Properties which would be dual
listing. It p~ovides in the agreement which I think you have in your packets that
his fee would be taken from the seller as part of the purchase price. Other than
that, it looks like a fairly standard listing, but it is an exclusive listing with him for
the purchase of the site. The second agreement that I've been asked to review
has to do with making an offer to purchase the police property for the 805,800-
and-same-odd dollars that's reflected in the agreement. One of the
recommendations that I would have is that we have an additional contingency
besides the one that's in there that says they will provide a survey for the
easement across, I believe, it's the northern portion of that property to connect
the streets. Would be that we be able to do a due diligence review to make sure
that we're happy that there isn't some environmental problem on that site. I think
the Chief wants to go with this. I know that you've had your sessions about
moving with this, so I wanted to be in a position that at least we had resolutions
for your consideration as to whether or not you want to go forward with it or not.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Before Bill gets - they'll make sure that the deed of trust and everything is
clear and everything within this agreement (inaudible) before we would - have a
survey and everything done on the easements, make sure everything's going
through before we'd ever put through before we'd ever purchase it.
Gigray: Mr. Mayor, Councilman Bird, members of the Council, you would be -
seeking a clear title, and we would have the right to object if there were problems
in the title police, and we've gone through that issue (inaudible) Generation Plaza
additional purchase. But if there are additional conditions that you want to have
in these, one of the things I think this does point out, and, of course, this may be
(
Meridian City Council Meeting

(
all part of a procurement policy which you'll deal with next year is possibly some
basic protocols that the City, you might, adopt that would be protocols for the
purchase of property so that when we enter these kinds of agreements or make
offers, we just have some automatic boiler plate conditions that go in because
this one was prepared by the realtor. It wasn't prepared by me. It's on a
standard form offer purchase which was used by realtors and recognized by the
State. The only panel that if we don't go through with it is the fotfeiture of the
$5,000 earnest money which this agreements provides. So it's not percentage
concerning the volume of the purchase that huge a problem. So that's why it
didn't get overly exercised about fussing with this too much. But I do think should
give notice that we'd want to do some kind of environmental peek at this. I don't
know what the history of that site is. Do you want me to keep going or do you
want to deliberate on that one?
Corrie: Unless somebody objects to it, I'd say go ahead. (inaudible)
Rountree: As far as the Resolution goes?
Gigray: I think the Clerk has the Resolution.
Rountree: I would move that we adopt Resolution 276 for exclusive buyer and
authorize the Mayor to sign and Clerk to attest.

2. CHERRY LANE RECREATION
Gigray: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, the next Item I want to discuss has
to do with the Cherry Lane Recreation issue, and as I believe, to bring you up to
speed, you should have in your packets, a letter addressed to each of you from
me dated December 3, 1999, and accompanying that should include the letter of
response from Edward Ansen who represents Independent Bank who was in
response to our letter of November 3rd outlining the various four conditions that
the City would request in order to enter into agreement to provide the bank with
notice of default and notice - advance notice before any effective date of a
modification of the agreement of lease with Cherry Lane Recreation, Inc. Bank
(
Meridian City Council Meeting
December 7, 1999
Page 94
wrote back in their letter basically saying, yes, we don't have a problem with your
conditions except that we are not willing to guarantee that the funds derived from
the loan would go to the construction of improvements upon the real property
which is a subject of the conditional use permit. It is also my understanding from
communications with the parties that the Cherry Lane Recreation did not have
heartburn with any of the requests of the City, but I didn't get any further
communications from them about proposed agreements to effectuate any of this,
and I could see that we might be in a dead center position given the direction that
was I thought I was given as a result of the workshop that we - Council
workshop, I believe it was the last meeting. I determined to at least try to fashion
an agreement which was an agreement between the bank, the City and Cherry
Lane Recreation, Inc., that has some kind of unusual provisions because there's
certain portions of the agreement that bind the Cherry Lane and the City and
other portions that bind all three. The idea of that was primarily take cafe of the
issue of the bank not being willing to guarantee the use of the funds, but yet
through the agreement, provide a provision where the City can demand
accounting of the use of those funds from Cherry Lane Recreation, Inc., that they
would have to provide that verification and if we felt they were in default, they'd
have 30 days to cure that, and if they didn't cure it, then they'd be in default with
the agreement of lease, which 1'1) guarantee you would draw the attention
(inaudible) the bank. Also, it provides that the initial disclosure of the information
would be at the bank. The feason for that since this involves the use of financial
funds for the construction of this property, it would probably become public
records if it were here on site, we would provide in this agreement that that would
have to be disclosed through the bank that we would access that information and
then if we declared default, they'd have to - the bank would have to provide us
with that information. So if we had to pursue it, we had it available to pursue it. It
would - the agreement provides that Cherry Lane would agree that they would
use the funds derived from the loan for the letter of credit as well as for the
construction of the improvements required as the condition of granting the
conditional use permit, and then the other provisions in there that the City would
provide the notice that the bank requires (inaudible) Section 4, proposed, and
then whereas there's a provision in here in the event - to amend agreement of
lease, to provide for insurance coverage. Now, I haven't included an amount in
that, and this is in Section 6 of this proposed agreement, because that
agreement of lease goes for so many years in the future for us to put in a specific
amount now may seem fine and good, but it could become antiquated in the
future. This is designed to provide the standard by which they're not going to
carry less insurance and is going to be required to replace the improvements that
are out there, and they can't provide insurance that would be less than what tort
claims law provides, but also it has to equal what is characteristically provided by
privately managed Ada and Canyon County, the courses of similar size, is to
provide some kind of standard to agree as to the amount of insurance coverage
because the existing agreement of lease doesn't provide that they provide
insurance coverage, and now we have considerable and will have considerable
improvements on there that weren't there before. Then there's certain provisions
Meridian City Council Meeting
December 7, 1999
Page 95
here with regards to allowing the City to have the option on a foreclosure sale to
purchase the bank's interest in that so that you don't have the situation of that
going on for sale without at least having the first shot at it. That, of course, would
require the City to tender those funds just in advance of the sale date, and if it
was cured prior to the sale date, then those funds would be returned to the City.
There's about a five-day, I think, period there. Because I represent the City, I do
not feel that I had any authority to disclose a proposed agreement to the bank or
to Cherry Lane Recreation, Inc., without first confiding in you to determine
whether or not you would instruct me to share such an agreement with them and
to pursue this or whether or not there're provisions in this that you don't like that
you'd like changed or whether or not you'd like me to do anythir)g. So I submit
that for your consideration, not to enter into this agreement at this point, but
whether or not to authorize me to transmit it to them, see whether or not they will
agree to it or not. I would say that if we did transmit it, that would be a strong
indication you would ultimately approve it, though.
Corrie: Comments?
Rountree: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Rountree.

Ordinance regarding the creation of two departments, one Department of Human

council, although some of you weren't here, those have been routed to those - to
the department heads of those affected areas. The idea with the Department of
Public Works is to create that department because it's not in the Code now. My
recommendation is that it should be there. We should 'create a Department
Head. The one ordinance proposes to delete the Ordinance that's in place, the
Superintendent, which is really an employee, but we would create a division of
the Department of Public Works to deal with water and sewer as well as a
division of public works to deal with municipal utility billing and we'll report on that
later, but that would be interested in your comments about it if you have any
problems with it.

5. ROUTING TO PROCESS
My last item is this. I have felt increasingly that the process of developing
Findings and submitting those to the Council has gotten to be an issue of they -
and I don't have any problem with staff, it's developers calling up, talking to my
staff, talking to me about how they're going to say, they interpret what the
(
Meridian City Council Meeting
December 7, 1999
Page 97
decision of the P & Z Commission or in my instance what the City Council is and
how these should be worded. Because these are quasi-judicial matters and
because you close a public hearing, in my view, the only proper thing that I can
do, of course, is to route those to the Staff for corrections with regards to how
they see what action was taken, to correct me, because in some places, the
Planning and Zoning Department actually does them. I don't have any problem
with that (inaudible) Public Works. But I am having a problem with the
developers. I don't want to be rude. What I propose to do, and if you have an
objection to this, I just need a read on it. But I propose in my routing slip, when I
route to the Clerk, and I think this is also designed to take off some pressure from
the Clerk's office, and hopefully other staff, is I will put this note on the end of our
letter. This is Findings you've directed me to prepare, because I can tell you on
one of the items we had, I had one of the people walk up to me saying he was
going to help me straighten out your motion. I just want to keep this process
clean. You know we know what we've been through with some of these cases.
would propose language to the effect: Please note that the public hearings are
now closed on this matter, and enclosed Findings have been prepared at the
direction of the City Council for its consideration alone because this is a quasi-
judicial matter to which due process and open meeting law apply, there should
be no discussions regarding these Findings by Council members, the Mayor or
any member of the City Staff other than in a public meeting. Findings shall not
become final until the Council takes action thereon. The City Attorney's Office
will not consult with any affected party regarding the content of these Findings.
can tell you, I really, all year, have not had much of a problem with this, but it
seems like now it gets to be more and more of a debate in some of these
developers. It gets a little bit intrusive. I have no problem dealing with Gary and
Shari and I appreciate their review and comment, but I get a little nervous when I
have developers say, well, I was there at that hearing, and this is what they
intended. You know as well as I do, your motions in some regards have to be a
little bit vague. You don't have time to go through every single item. We have to
call a shot, we send it to you, you see something - and 1111 put comments in there
if I think I'm doing something that I'm not sure about. Sometimes I miss things
and sometimes I make mistakes because I can't wait for the City Council minutes
to prepare them. We have to get that started. But if you see the mistake or you
see something in there, you have every right to make any change you want to
because it's not final until you adopt it. But I get a little nervous about having a
developer starting to call me. I think this was a good one because it wasn't that
heavily contested. You learn lessons and you move on. But I'm thinking I want
to do something to kind of insolate this process so it's just - it's in house and -
we're not in a public hearing, and we just can't invite that kind of debate.
Bentley: It's (inaudible) attorney bring us the Findings.
Gigray: Actually, that's okay, because you could look at them and decide you
like those better than the ones we produce, and that's clean. I don't have a
problem with that. But that should be stated on the record that they're going to
(
Meridian City Council Meeting

Page 98
do that before they do it. They can't come in later and do it. That's not proper at
all.
Rountree: That'd be testimony.
Gigray: yeah. It's adding to the record. This would be a kin to if you're in a legal
action, and the Mayor's the Judge and I'm his Clerk, and you all have argued
your case and Glenn's argued adequately and you - Charlie's argued adequately
and it's submitted and then Glenn comes and talks to me about what the
Findings and Decision of Orders without Charlie being present, it's just a real
violation of due process. You know, it can happen in administrative realm. I just
want some language on here that protects so that it's on there, but I want you to
know we're doing it and why we're doing it so people aren't offended. If you think
it's improper, I'd like to know.
