M.. Members Present: Ron Tolsma, Bob Giesler, Bob Corrie, Max Yerrington: Others Present: Stan Olson, Doug Kowallis, David Holman, Frank Thomason, Kevin A. Jones, Walter Casey, Hi 11 Briggs, Bi 11 Gordon, Gary Smith, Wayne Crookston, Jim Johnson, Robert Strasser: MINUTES OF THE PREVIOUS MEETING HELD MARCH 3, 1992: The Motion was made by Tolsma and seconded by Giesler to approve of the minutes of the previous meeting held March 3, 1992 as written: Motion Carried: All Yea: ITEM #1: PAT DOHIE, ACRD: IMPACT FEE AGREEMENT WITH CITY OF MERIDIAN: Pat Dobie: I have an agreement here that I'd like to distribute to you. Kingsford: For the Council's information, Jack and I and Mr. Crookston have reviewed this and made comments back. Dobie: September of last year the Ada County Highway District adopted an impact fee ordinance. The purpose of the Ordinance was to establish a process to allocate the cost of the new road infrastructure needed to support growth in the community and to allocate it to the new development. The other purpose of the Ordinance was to replace the current exaction program that we could only use to require developments to improve the road frontage adjacent to their properties. The impact fees are to be assessed against all new development at the time that the building permit is issued. The basis for the fee is based upon the size of the structure and the traffic generation of the use. It is a flat rate for residential uses in the neighborhood of X600 to X900 at full fee and variable rates for commercial. The money collected from the impact fee are to be used in a benefit zone in and around the City of Meridian. It's currently estimated that there is about twelve million dollars worth of future road improvements in this area in order to keep pace with expected growth. What you have before you is a cooperative agreement between the Highway District and the City of Meridian relative to the collection of these impact fees. Under this agreement the City would agree to withhold the issuance of a building permit until the fees have been paid to the highway district. In addition, the highway district will indemnify the City and pay • • MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL MARCH 17, 1992 PAGE 2 them the sum of X22,000.00, which is the estimated cost of the Administration of the program. The agreement can be modified or terminated upon a very short notice. That's a quick overview of the agreement. If you have any questions about this or impact fees in general I'd be happy to answer them. Giesler: When does this go into effect? Dobie: April 15th. This would be on any building permit that is issued after the 15th. Corrie: Item #2 on resident buildings, about calculating the gross floor area, generally if it's larger than 1500 square feet - does that mean that anything less than 1500 square feet will not have an impact fee? Dobie: The fee for smaller structures is less than the fee for larger structures. The Motion was made by Tolsma and seconded by Corrie to approve of the resolution conditioned upon the City Attorney's final approval and authorize the City Clerk and Mayor to sign that. Motion Carried: All Yea: Giesler: I have one question. This question that Mr. Corrie brought up - why is the figure different for under 1500 sq. feet? Dobie: The impact fees are based upon the traffic generation characteristics of the use. Traffic studies that were done indicate that small structures create fewer traffic trips than larger structures. ITEM #2: FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS DF LAW ON REZONE REQUEST W/CONDITIDNAL USE PERMIT FOR PUD ON HUNTERS GLENN: The Motion was made by Yerrington and seconded by Tolsma to approve the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law for this rezone request for PUD on Hunters Glenn: Roll Call Uote: Yerrington - Yea; Giesler - Yea; Corrie - Yea; Tolsma - Yea; Motion Carried: All Yea: • • MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL MARCH 17, 1992 PAGE 3 ITEM #3: ORDINANCE #575: ORDINANCE REZONING PROPERTY AT NORTH END OF EAST 5TH STREET: HUNTERS GLENN: Kingsford: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF MERIDIAN AMENDING AND CHANGING THE ZONING OF CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY IN THE CITY OF MERIDIAN WHICH IS GENERALLY DESCRIBED AS A PORTION OF THE EAST 1/2 OF THE NORTHWEST 1/4, SECTION 7, TOWNSHIP 3 NORTH, RANGE 1 WEST, BOISE MERIDIAN, ADA COUNTY, IDAHO; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Is there anyone present who wishes Ordinance #575 read in its entirety? No response. The Motion was made by Tolsma and seconded by Yerrington that the rules and provisions of 50-902 and all rules and provisions requiring that Ordinances be read on three different days be dispensed with and that Ordinance #575 be passed and approved. Roll Call Vote: Yerrington - Yea; Giesler - Yea; Corrie - Yea; Tolsma - Yea; Motion Carried: All Yea: The Motion was made by Giesler and seconded by Corrie to approve of the Conditional Use Permit. Roll Call Vote: Yerrington - Yea; Giesler - Yea; Corrie - Yea; Tolsma - Yea: Motion Carried: All Yea: ITEM #4: PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR VACATION OF EASEMENT: STRASSER FARMS: Kingsford: At this time I will open the Public Hearing. Robert Strasser, 3165 N. Meridian Rd., was sworn by the attorney. Strasser: Basically there was just two easements that we were trying to vacate. One being the north border line of lot 1 on this subdivision, Strasser Farms, it was just a five foot easement and we got approval from all of the pertinent people who had any say in that. The other one was the irrigation easement. It was placed in the wrong position on the plat. The easement itself is exactly as the letter says. Basically what I've got now is'~two easements for the irrigation district. One being in it's natural position and the other one being located on the map in the wrong position, so we are just asking to vacate it off of there and the original easement will stay as is. • MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL MARCH 17, 1992 PAGE 4 Eng. Smith: I hadn't seen the recorded plat so I didn't realize that there was two easements shown. Strasser: There's only one shown and it's in the wrong location. Eng. Smith: So your saying this easement as it exists does not need to show on the plat. Strasser: No it doesn't show on other plats, it didn't show on the original plat. Eng. Smith: There wasn't an original plat there, that was my concern does this easement need to become record and tied to Strasser Farm's plat? Strasser: Not according to John Addison at the Irrigation District and as far as the county was concerned they didn't care one way or the other. If you request it then we have to go back and reissue the plat and it has to go through the signatures all the way around again. Eng. Smith: Well if the people that have the facility are happy with the way it's handled at this point I certainly don't have a problem. Kingsford: Thank you. Anyone else to testify? No response. I will close the Public Hearing. The Motion was made by Tolsma and seconded by Giesler to have the attorney prepare an Ordinance for the vacation of easement for Strasser Farms. Motion Carried: All Yea: ITEM #5: FINAL PLAT: MERIDIAN MANOR #7: Kingsford: Is there a representative from Meridian Manor #7 here? One thing I might mention is that we need to get with you and tie down some costs on sewer line verses lift stations. Corrie: I have a question reference the Fire Department about that Chrisfield Drive, sometime needs to be connected to Meridian Road will that be done? Bill Briggs: I am here representing Bedelco, Bews & Smith. Chrisfield Drive will be dedicated in #8, which will be the subdivision following this one. • • MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL MARCH 17, 1992 PAGE S Kingsford: Do you have any kind of a time table for this? Briggs: It all depends on the market. I would say in a year or less. The Motion was made by Tolsma and seconded by Yerrington to approve the Final Plat for Meridian Manor #7. Motion Carried: All Yea: ITEM #6: COVENANTS ON MERIDIAN MANOR #7: Kingsford: Mr. Crookston have you had a chance to review these? Crookston: Yes I have and they have changed them. Just as an assistance to them, in paragraph F there's a "not" that should be the word "nor". Everything else is fine. The Motion was made by Tolsma and seconded by Corrie to approve of the Covenants on Meridian Manor #7 conditioned upon the Counselor's one recommendation and the Engineer's recommendation. Motion Carried: All Yea: ITEM #7: DOUG KOWALLIS: NAHAS-BENOIT COMPANY: Doug Kowallis: You all received the letter I sent. Do you want me to give a brief summary? Kingsford: I think possibly a Conditional Use Permit might be a lot better than a zoning change from our standpoint. The Motion was made by Giesler and seconded by Yerrington to recommend a Conditional Use Permit be applied for, and a letter be forwarded to Ada County showing our support. Motion Carried: All Yea: ITEM #8: DON STEPHENS, CAPITOL CHRISTIAN CENTER, REQUEST TO CONNECT TO CITY SERVICES: Don Stephens: I live in Emmett but I am involved with Capital Christian Center of Boise. We bought forty acres on the North side of Fairview just across from the new Farm Center with the intent on building a new sanctuary there and with the vision of our pastor to extend that to a community endeavor. We would like • MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL MARCH 17, 1992 PAGE 6 to have some parks in kids, not just for our are open to annexation for us. We also had Meridian to have dedic, the City of Meridian. there, some grass and trees, things for church but for the community as well. We or whatever would be the best for you and talked that in the need of the City of ate a well site there that could be used by Kingsford: It would be my recommendation to the Council to annex that. Giesler: Who would be running water and sewer lines to that project? Kingsford: They are looking at running sewer line from Jericho and water I' m not sure of. Eng. Smith: It crosses from the north side of Fairview under - Stephens: We would extend the line then. We would do the sewer in the fall but we'd like to start the building as soon as possible. Kingsford: Is there any opposition from the Council for this request? None heard. ITEM #9: DEPARTMENT REPORTS: Chief Gordon: Within the last couple weeks, the City Clerk and the City Police Department have received numerous complaints about all vacant corners within Meridian becoming used car lots. We did some checking and we don't have anything in our Ordinances presently, Hoise City does have an Ordinance under their Planning and Zoning. I've received copies of that, what I would like from you is the okay to pursue this and maybe come up with an Drdinance so we can start clearing some of these street corners off. Kingsford: A concern that I have is I've talked with some of the merchants around and they don't want them in their parking lot because they are already running over with cars too. I almost think it's better to have them on the vacant ones unless the property owners object to it. Gordon: Presently it's just been from the public. It's far worse than it was last year or the previous years. MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL MARCH 17, 1992 PAGE 7 Kingsford: Maybe we could look into it a little bit and go ahead and pursue it and see what kind of luck they have had in other City's. Eng. Smith: One quick item - on our water sy Agreement with CH2M is being returned to them begin. An application to appropriate water filed tomorrow with water resources. We've three property owners on the south side concerning well locations. stem the Master Plan signed so they can for a well will be made contact with of the Interstate Kingsford: I have a meeting tomorrow afternoon with some of the property owners in Meridian Greens with regard to a booster station and where we are at there and also charging their pressurized irrigation system. Jim Johnson: We are having a workshop on April 9th to look further into adding some additional zoning designations. We would appreciate any input you might have on that. Niemann: Somebody has been going around town putting up flyers to paint the street again. There's nothing we can do about it but I've been getting quite a few calls. Kingsford: It would be a good idea for the Valley News to print an article that that is nothing to do with the City. It's just a private enterprise. Cowie: There also have been some complaints from one of the citizens about somebody is calling wanting money for the Fire Department and they are saying that the Meridian Fire Department is soliciting money for the Fire Department and that's not the case at all. If anybody gets called we would like to know about it and we have contacted the Better Business Bureau. Kingsford: I'd like to see a kick off of a fund raiser to complete the golf course out there. We do have a golf course fund started. The Motion was made by Corrie and seconded by Tolsma to adjourn at 8:06 P. M. Motion Carried: All Yea: (TAPE ON FILE OF THESE PROCEEDINGS) • MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL MARCH 17, 1992 PAGE 8 APPROVED: G T P. K I NGS 0 , YOR ATTEST: cc.
