Kingsford at 7:30 P. M.: Members Present: Ron Tolsma, Bob Giesler, Bob Corrie, Max Yerrington: Others Present: Pat Fujii, David Collins, Rich Allison, Frank Thomason, Roy Johnson, Stan Stanley, Wayne S. Forrey, Kevin Jones, Dan Torfin, Gary Lee, Tom Edy, Steve & Pat Hall, Jon Barnes, William Hon, Doc Schlekeway, Dale Newberry, Brent Barrus, Gary Smith, Bill Gordon, Wayne Crookston, Mike Hagood, Pat Tealy: MINUTES OF THE PREVIOUS MEETING HELD FEBRUARY 4, 1992: The Motion was made by Giesler and seconded by Tolsma to approve the minutes of the previous meeting held February 4, 1992 as written: Motion Carried: All Yea: ITEM #1: BEER LICENSE FOR MAVERICK COUNTRY STORE: Kingsford: The Chief had no problem with this request. The Motion was made by Giesler and seconded by Tolsma to approve of the Beer License for the Maverick Country Store. Motion Carried: All Yea: ITEM #2: PUBLIC HEARING: REZONE REQUEST BY WARRIOR ENTERPRISES: Kingsford: At this time I will open the Public Hearing and invite the owner to come forward and be sworn in. Mike Hagood, 903 E. 1st, Meridian, was sworn by the attorney. Hagood: On the rezoning we are trying to rezone the church at 1203 E. 1st for commercial use, to move the Karate School that's now at 903 E. 1st into that building. Giesler: There is nothing going on in that building right now? Hagood: Right now they are still holding services and we plan to on Sundays, they will be using it for two hours in the morning and one hour in the evening until they get their building built. Tolsma: The Fire Department had a question on the basement of that? Your not going to be using the basement? Hagood: Yes we are. We've talked with the Fire Marshal and we are having them put in a sprinkler system. i MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 18, 1992 PAGE 2 Kingsford: You saw the requirements of the Engineer and do you have any problems with them? Hagood: No I don't. The only thing on that is we are asking for a little bit of an extension time possibly with some of the other pre-construction we are doing - as far as putting back in the asphalt and the sidewalk according to the City specifications. Kingsford: Any one else from the public who would like to offer testimony on this? No response. I will close the Public Hearing. Giesler: You stated it was going to take some time to put the sprinkler system in and so forth? Hagood: Not the sprinkler system, we have to hook up on the Washington Street side and that's where they are talking about a parking lot. The sprinkler will be in before we can get an occupancy permit. Giesler: So as soon as that is done, you would go ahead and pave that though. Hagood: I guess what I was referring to is some of the costs, we didn't realize we would be running into the sprinkling system, we also have to get it set up for handicap access and that's why I was asking for an extension. The Motion was made by Tolsma and seconded by Giesler to approve the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law as prepared for Planning and Zoning. Roll Call Vote: Yerrington - Yea; Giesler - Yea; Corrie - Yea; Tolsma - Yea: Motion Carried: All Yea: The Motion was made by Corrie and seconded by Giesler to direct the City attorney to prepare a zoning ordinance.

Is there a Anyone else to offer for annexation for the Glass between that and I will close the public Tolsma: The Engineer's comment says that the developer will extend an 8" sewer line to and through his property to a point approximately 1/2 mile east of Locust Grove Road. Is that in the future or? Eng. Smith: Yes, there's a period after to and through is property. His sewer will extend on to the east approximately 1/2 mile east of Locust Grove Road. The Motion was made by Tolsma and seconded by Corrie to approve of the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law as prepared for Planning & Zoning. Roll Call Vote: Yerrington - Yea; Giesler - Yea; Corrie - Yea; Tolsma - Yea: Motion Carried: All Yea: The Motion was made by Corrie and seconded by Yerrington to have the attorney prepare an Ordinance. Motion Carried: All Yea: ITEM #4: PUBLIC HEARING: REZONE REQUEST W/PRELIMINARY PLAT, TRACT SUBDIVISION, MERIDIAN PLACE LIMITED & PROPERTIES WEST: Kingsford: I will open the Public Hearing. Is there a representative present? Gary Lee, 1750 N. Summertree, Meridian, was sworn by the attorney. Lee: I'd like to give you a brief history and also what the development consists of and then answer any questions you may have. This particular piece of ground, known as the Harmon Property, originally was annexed into the City limits in 1975, there's about 80 acres next to Locust Grove Road. At that time, it was zoned A-Residential prior to any zoning changes. s MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 18, 1992 PAGE 4 Preliminary plat was prepared then called Meridian Place Subdivision Unit #2. It consisted of 483 units on about 106 acres that was holding a density of 4.5 single family houses per acre. Subsequent to that time of course the zoning was changed and updated and it is now R-4, which allows four units per acre. Part of this request is to request a rezone to R-8 to allow for some lots that are less than 8,000 square foot minimum in R-4. This particular project is about 79 acres in size. The plan calls for 300 single family dwelling units plus one well lot. The lot density would result in 3.8 residential units per acre which is considerably less than the previous plan. Average lot sizes in this project will be 68 to 70 feet in width and about 100 to 105 feet in depth, resulting in an average size of about 7100 sq. feet. House pricing in this development will range from X80,000 to (120,000. The minimum house size the developer is seeking is 1300 square feet and the development will consist of two and three car garages as well. The improvements for the project - sanitary sewer - this particular piece of ground is broken into a north forty acres and a south forty acres in our sewer planning. The southerly forty acres will drain into the northeast 10th Street sewer as it will extend through the Ewing property which is part of that Meridian Place Subdivision and into this particular project and on over to the East of Locust Grove, that will serve about half the houses. The other half which is the northerly forty acres will be served by what's called the south slough sewer extension. By the time we reach that phase which is about phase four or five hopefully the south slough will be available and we will be able to extend it through the project and serve the north forty acres. Water for this project, there's an existing ten inch main on Locust Grove Road at E. Meadowgrass which is directly across the street from our first phase. We will extend that ten inch line up Locust Grove for future development. We'll also extend a line into the development which will ultimately loop into the water line ejected over on N.E. 10th. We'll also carry the minimum 10" grid system on the half miles lines as required by City policy. Streets will be constructed to ACHD requirements. We will also improve N. Locust Grove to a minor arterial status and we will dedicate the required right of way there and improve it to the width required by the highway district. We did have tech-review with ACRD today and I'd like to leave a copy with the Council tonight. I'd like to go through what their site specific requirements are. As you know we are required to perform a traffic study for this development because it's in excess of the fifty lots that their policy dictates. That study resulted in • MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 18, 1992 PAGE 5 the fact that current traffic flows on Fairview and Locust Grove at this time are to a point where a traffic light is warranted. There are two of the items that dictate when a light is warranted and that is of course the amount of traffic and the amount of delay time making turns onto Fairview. In ACRD review and comments, their site specific comments of course we'll dedicate that 33 feet of right of way for Locust Grove and build our half of the 52 foot street, which is a four lane street. Construct the curb, gutter and sidewalk, etc. direct lot access to Locust Grove is prohibited which is pretty much standard policy. Direct lot access to Meadowgrass is prohibited with the exception of one lot, which is lot 2 of block 5. The traffic signal is required at this time, it will be installed by ACRD and not required as a condition of approval for this development. It has been placed on a list of improvements throughout the county and they did not give us a time it will be done. Currently there are two irrigation feed ditches that traverse across the property, one along the east boundary next to Locust Grove Road and one along the south boundary from east to west. Those two ditches will be piped to serve the neighbors both west and north of us. We have met with those water users and have reviewed the requirements with Nampa Meridian Irrigation District and have sized the line to carry the flows projected. Storm water generated from the road right of ways will be retained on site. We anticipate using a combination of sub-surface drainage pits and surface drainage swells. These systems will be designed for the twenty five year storm event. The lot irrigation, when we originally submitted the plat back in November, at that time we requested a variance in the pressurized irrigation requirement of the ordinance, the new ordinance of course allows us the option to request a waiver and to pay into the reserve fund and we would like to do that at this time. Are there any questions I can answer? Tolsma: You stated on there that the houses are going to be 1300 square feet minimum? Lee: Yes. Tolsma: The comment sheet here says 1400 sq. feet minimum. Lee: P & Z made that recommendation to Council, the developer would like to maintain a 1300 sq. foot minimum. Kingsford: Anyone else from the public to offer testimony? Jon Barnes, 1034 Justin Place, was sworn by the attorney. MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 18, 1992 PAGE 6 Barnes: I'd like to address the Council and Mayor on the sizes of the housing. We don't know how long that market will stay good and we would rather have a little more flexibility in being able to come down closer to that 1300 if the market in fact dictates that we need to. One of the things we are going to do is require a six - twelve pitch on the roof so the roof pitch will be a little more steeper and we are going to require an architectural asphalt shingle. As far as size we feel that just because of the length of a project like this we would like opportunity to come down to the minimum that you require in that zone which is 1300 sq. feet. Corrie: Mr. Barnes, on the homes that you were building there in Boise, we looked at those pictures, were any of those under 1400 square feet? Barnes: All of them were 1447 up, but we would just like the flexibility to pull down to 1325 or 1350 just because we don't know how long the market will stay strong. Tolsma: The Fire Department has a question on secondary access, is it possible to maybe work phase 8 in earlier? Barnes: Gary and I met .with the Fire Chief and he's agreed to go clear back to the end of the third phase where it would pick up that right of way through the Ewing's. We are getting an actual easement for a road right of way all the way through Meridian Place #3. Explained to Council on map. (See tape) Kingsford: Anyone else from the public to testify? No response. I will close the public hearing. Run a quick total on how many lots there are Mr. Lee please. Giesler: Have you gone over the Engineer's comments? Lee: Yes. Clerk Niemann: You mean we are going to have to change the Findings to allow more lots for the difference? Kingsford: That's going to depend on just how many lots, Mr. Lee is calculating. i ~ MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 19, 1992 PAGE 7 Crookston: You can amend the Findings tonight. Kingsford: Any other questions from the Council? No response. Giesler: How many extra dollars is 100 square feet in a home? I mean all your lots will handle a 1400 square foot home won't they? Barnes: X65.00 a square foot. Lee: There's 105 lots in there for three phases. Barnes: I'd be glad - if you want to hold me at 1350 I just need some flexibility or would like some. Kingsford: It seems to me we have 1350 or you designate by our ordinance and specify on lot percentages. So 1350 would be more appropriate than 1300 to meet our ordinance. Any other comments or questions? Giesler: I have a question for the City Engineer. Do you know approximately how long that might take for ACRD to get those lights on that corner? Eng. Smith: No I don't. The Motion was made by Tolsma and seconded by Yerrington to approve the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law with the amendment of 1350 minimum square feet with 105 lots through phase three. Roll Call Vote: Yerrington - Yea; Giesler - Yea; Corrie - Yea; Tolsma - Yea: Motion Carried: All Yea: The Motion was made by Tolsma and seconded by Giesler to have the attorney prepare an ordinance for zone change. Motion Carried: All Yea: ITEM #5: PUBLIC HEARING: ANNEXATION & ZONING REQUEST W/PRELIMINARY PLAT, DANBURY PARK SUBDIVISION, CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT: Kingsford: At this time I will open the Public Hearing. I'd like to invite the developer to testify. • MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 18, 1992 PAGE 8 Roy Johnson, 4658 Yorgason, Boise, was sworn by the attorney. Johnson: I'm sure you have reviewed the plat, we have 140 lots proposed on the forty acres called the Peterson Place off Meridian Road. We are planning on doing the project in two phases, 70 lots being the first phase and approximately 70 lots in the second phase. The south slough project has the main line which is going right through here to be done sometime in the next 90 days or so. I have read the Engineer's comments and I have no problems with anything. One of the things that we went through with the planning commission was the access. We have two access points on Meridian Road, we have proposed one access to the north through the project and none to the south. The Engineer and the Clerk have both stated they would like to have an access to the south connecting into the subdivision so we can have both sewer and water access. We've talked to ACRD and they have no problem with us not having the access to the north and using that access and placing it in the south so we have provided the access as requested by the City. I will answer any questions you may have. Corrie: The Fire Department made a comment about the entrance into Meridian Manor Sub., is that going to be an entrance? Johnson: That's what I'm talking about now. Kingsford: Any other questions? Anyone else from the public who would like to offer testimony on this issue? No response. I will close the Public Hearing. You have the Findings before you, any questions on those? Tolsma: How about the comments from Beledco. Johnson: Their comments pertain to the road we are talking about putting into their subdivision. Engineer Smith: My request was to have that access from Meridian Manor into Waterberry in order to gain access for a sewer line from Meridian Manor to the south slough sewer so we wouldn't have to construct or the developer would not have to construct a lift station which we don't want to do. The request by the developer to eliminate the access to the north side though, I wonder if we are going to have a problem them with block length then on the north boundary of the subdivision. The access to the south slough sewer from the property to the north of the south slough MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 18, 1992 PAGE 9 is going to have to cross the slough to get to it, and that access road that was planned on the north boundary would have served as a way for that property to access the slough. (Further explanation - see tape) Johnson: I'd like to comment on this because this is something that I haven't discussed with him. What we proposed on the south side there when we didn't have a road in there was to put a 20 foot access through that strip, in fact clear across the other subdivision, we can do the same thing on this one here. We have a strip along the south slough that we've set aside as a park like area, a place for the people here to use. We can provide a 20 foot access to get through there to take care of that so that you'll still be able to get your vehicles through. Kingsford: What sort of an access are we talking about and how would it be maintained? Johnson: It will be maintained by the Homeowners Association. Discussion. (See tape) Kingsford: Is there a motion on the findings? The Motion was made by Yerrington and seconded by Corrie to approve the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law for the annexation and zoning request for preliminary plat for Capital Development. Roll Call Vote: Yerrington - Yea; Giesler - Yea; Corrie - Yea; Tolsma - Yea; Motion Carried: All Yea: The Motion was made by Tolsma and seconded by Yerrington to have the attorney prepare the zoning ordinance annexation for this request. Motion Carried: All Yea: ITEM #6: PUBLIC HEARING: PRELIMINARY & FINAL PLAT, SUNSHINE ADDITION, DIANE STANLEY: Kingsford: I will open the Public Hearing. Is there a representative present? Rich Allison, 1040 E. Pine, Meridian, was sworn by the attorney. i r MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 18, 1992 RAGE 10 Allison: We have submitted a plat for a two parcel division of property on W. 4th Street which is located immediately adjacent to Meridian Elementary School. The property previously was being considered as an alternative school site by the Meridian School District. After objection from the immediate neighbors, the school district didn't pursue the school at that location. Therefore they declared the property as excess property. The school district upon selling .64 acres retained 14.5 acres of property which exceeds by 2 1/2 acres the normal school requirement and that's why the property was sold. Upon sale of the property to Diane Stanley, she was or did intend at that time to develop a senior citizens retirement facility and upon contacting neighbors for a conditional use permit for such use found that the neighbors were also against that. Therefore, the Stanley's went to Howard Engineering Company and divided the property or proposed a subdivision map of the property, divide the property into two parcels. Each parcel would exceed 12,600 square feet in size. The property is currently served by city water, gas, power and city sewer on the north boundary of the property. The water department for the city requested initially a 16 foot easement for the existing sewer line which doesn't exist. Upon meeting with Earl Ward he agreed that if we would gravel that north 10 feet of the property where the existing sewer line would exist today that that would be satisfactory to him. Also the property is served by Nampa Meridian Irrigation District with a gravity flow irrigation system. Therefore we have requested that the pressurized irrigation system under the subdivision ordinance be waived since it is served by existing irrigation water. We would be quite willing to provide for the culverting of that irrigation district and the placement of appropriate boxes to serve that property. We ask that under section 9-604 that several of those subdivision requirements be waived since it's only a two parcel subdivision, since there exists no curb, gutter and sidewalk on the west side of East 4th Street and many of the requirements would not necessarily fulfill any useful function. Explained further. Asked to waive all ACRD requirements and meet the requirements of the City as outlined in their materials supplied to us and request that this may be recorded under a parcel map rather than a subdivision. Tolsma: Questioned about the irrigation water. Allison: It goes along the front of the property from the south to the north and serves additional properties to the north. Kingsford: Do they currently irrigate that parcel with that system? MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 18, 1992 PAGE 11 Allison: I think they have part of the time but they also have sprinklers out there to serve irrigation. There is an additional ditch along the north boundary which would also be along the proposed ten foot easement for the benefit of sewer irrigation water which would stay in place for the benefit of some homeowners that are on West Washington Street. Kingsford: Anyone else to testify? Mike Farley, 1222 W. 4th, was sworn by the attorney. Farley: Questioned the access for children to get through this property to get to school. Can easement be used for children to go back and forth to school? Allison: This is one thing that should be addressed and I have talked to Dan Mabe about this specific thing and that is part of the reason they were selling the property is because they were having a problem with people parking on W. 4th Street and so forth. Upon reviewing with Dan Mabe, he indicated that if in fact we did provide an easement which would be fine, that they would want that easement fenced and they would want a gate provided at that point where they enter the school. Kingsford: Hut he's not talking about a problem as far as children access? Allison: Children access during the school year is absolutely no problem. Kingsford: Anyone else to testify? Trudy Hadley, 225 Cherry Ave., was sworn by the attorney. Hadley: Expressed concern about children walking to school if not allowed to use this access. Kingsford: Anyone else to testify? No response. 1 will close the Public Hearing. The Motion was made by Giesler and seconded by Yerrington to approve the preliminary and final plat for Diane Stanley. Atty. Crookston: Have concern about the waiver requirements. I think that if you are going to grant the short subdivision plat • • MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 18, 1992 PAGE 12 procedure, I think that's fine but you need to make a finding under the ordinance that the parcel's have the appropriate improvements on the lots and then on the other request some of the subdivision requirements if you don't find that then it needs to have a request for a variance for those other items they want waived. Giesler: Withdrew his motion to approve. Yerrington: Withdrew his second to approve. The Motion was made by Giesler and seconded by Yerrington that we approve of the preliminary and final plat short version with findings to warrant the improvements being satisfactory. Motion Carried: All Yea: ITEM #7: COVENANTS ON SUNSHINE ADDITION: Kingsford: Gary had one on his findings sheet. On irrigation water to be provided in accordance with city ordinance, I think we are asking for a waiver there for that since it's already available. Atty., Crookston: Comments on irrigation which has been resolved. Also on animal control. The Motion was made by Giesler and seconded by Tolsma to approve the Covenants on Sunshine Addition with requested amendment by City Attorney. Motion Carried: All Yea: ITEM #8: PUBLIC HEARING: PRELIMINARY & FINAL PLAT ON WHITETAIL SUBDIVISION, R. A. ASSOCIATES Kingsford: I will open the public hearing. Is there a representative present? Pat Tealy, 479 Main Street, Boise, was sworn by the attorney. Tealy: I'm here representing R.A. Associates in their application for final plat for Whitetail Subdivision. Whitetail Subdivision is a four lot subdivision with minimum lot size of • MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 18, 1992 PAGE 13 approximately 8100 square feet. It's located at the NW corner of 11th and Cherry. We are asking that one of the conditions, the irrigation be waived on this application. The pressure irrigation is just quite expensive for a four lot subdivision. If there are any questions I'd be glad to answer. Kingsford: Your proposing to sprinkle with City water? Tealy: Correct. Kingsford: So you choose to go with the funding of the City well's for that then? Tealy: I believe that's the option that we would go with. How does that work now? Kingsford: We are setting up basically a fund that will allow us to drill wells to satisfy that irrigation requirement. Tealy: What is the cost per lot? Kingsford: We haven't decided that yet. Any other questions? Corrie: What's the dwelling size? Tealy: 1300 square foot minimum. Giesler: Do you know anything about this problem the Fujii's talk about with the leak on the box? Tealy: Mrs. Fujii can probably explain that. But what I believe it is is there is a main line that runs along the north side of Cherry Lane and it has a pressurized irrigation system and some of the boxes that carry the water to the north into this land to the north of Cherry Lane leak and cause quite a bit of water to collect in the lower portions of the lots in there. Giesler: Is this the same one that was brought up when we were discussing Deerfield? Tealy: It is the same one that has come up in Deerfield and Field of Dreams Subdivisions. The only solution is to some how seal that main pressure line along Cherry Lane and I don't know who is responsible for that. • MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 18, 1992 PAGE 14 C~ Eng. Smith: If it is within the public right of way then the Highway District will take care of it. If it's not, it's up to the ditch users. I don't think it's an irrigation district line at that particular place. Giesler: Gary will you look into this? Kingsford: Anyone else to testify? Mrs. Pat Fujii, 4345 Pasadena Drive, Boise, was sworn by the attorney. Fujii: On January 14th my husband and I gave you each a letter stating our concerns. First thing was a fence - R.A. Associates stated they would build a six foot wooden fence between our property and theirs, mainly because we have a barb wire fence for our horses and we didn't want any children getting hurt. The other concern is that our property is the lowest in that area and so when R.A. Associates build up their property to put the houses in then all that would drain onto our property. Voiced concerns about leakage of water and not getting any results. Kingsford: We will share in your run around. Is there anyone else from the public who would like to offer testimony? No response. I will close the public hearing. Giesler: Is there something they are willing to do on the fence? Tealy: We agreed at Planning and Zoning to build a fence along the boundary. Kingsford: Work with Gary and make sure the water situation gets remedied so that the fence doesn't get ruined. Yerrington: Who's responsibility is this wooden fence after it's put up? Kingsford: The property owners on both sides, usually. So it would be a responsibility of the owners of each of these four lots to maintain that. The Motion was made by Corrie and seconded by Yerrington to approve the preliminary and final plat with the irrigation contribution in lieu of the irrigation ordinance. Motion Carried: All Yea: • . • MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 18, 1992 PAGE 15 The Motion was made by Corrie and seconded by Yerrington to have the payment made before the final plat is signed. Motion Carried: All yea: ITEM #9: COVENANTS ON WHITETAIL SUBDIVISION: Kingsford: Counselor do you have any comments on those? Crookston: Section 18 that deals with the elevations between two and six feet and the site triangle I think that needs to be three feet and eight feet. There is also some typographical errors that we can straighten out. The Motion was made by Tolsma and seconded by Giesler to approve the Covenants on Whitetail Subdivision conditioned upon meeting the City Attorney's requirements. Motion Carried: All Yea: ITEM #10: PUBLIC HEARING: PRELIMINARY PLAT ON BETHHAVEN SUBDIVISION: INTERWEST DEVELOPMENT: Kingsford: I will now open the public hearing. Is there a representative present? David Collins, 3350 Americana Terrace, Boise, was sworn by the attorney. Collins: I will be happy to answer any questions. Kingsford: Have you seen the comment sheets? There is a comment here from Jack that the Stucker property should be included in the plat as a lot. Collins: They were deeded out some years ago from the master parcel, I don't believe they - Kingsford: It's already been subdivided from this parcel. Collins: Yes. I think ACRD would probably handle that we are only talking a very limited frontage. If they are deeded out less than a year prior to the development of the master parcel then the Highway District conditions that the curb, gutter and sidewalk go in front of the homestead pieces also. But if the deeds taking those out are over a year old then they don't require it. MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 16, 1992 PAGE 16 Kingsford: So you are saying that ACHD would make those improvements. Collins: Right more than likely. Tolsma: There was also a comment in there from Gary Smith about the stub road to the west property boundary will tie into the Stonehouse Church property. Collins: Yes we've eliminated that. The one to the west going out of the southwest corner has been eliminated. The westerly exit to the south off the master parcel has been moved approximately 500 feet to the east to better fit some adjoining parcels to the south for future potential development as well as the entry road on the east off of Cherry Lane which is called Beth Street on the preliminary plat. I'm working on a realignment of that at Gary's request to better facilitate keeping the ten inch water line system near the corner. I have seen Gary's comments and have no trouble with any of those conditions. Kingsford: Anyone else to testify? No response. I will close the public hearing. Giesler: Mr. Mayor it is stated here that after 100 lots there will be an additional access onto Cherry Lane, is that correct? Collins: Yes. Also, the client did want me to request that we be involved with the (in-audible) irrigation system rather than building a separate system within the subdivision. The Motion was made by Corrie and seconded by Giesler to approve of the preliminary plat on Bethhaven Subdivision. Motion Carried: All Yea: ITEM #11: FINAL PLAT ON GLENNFIELD #9: L & S SALES: The Motion was made by Tolsma and seconded by Giesler to approve the final plat on Glennfield #9. Motion Carried: All Yea: ITEM #12: PUBLIC HEARING: REQUE5T FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR DAIRY QUEEN BY BILL HON: • MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 18, 1992 PAGE 17 Kingsford: I will now open the Public Hearing. Is there a representative present? Bill Hon, 954 Herringcove, Boise, was sworn by the attorney. Hon: This is a request for a Conditional Use Permit for a Dairy Queen Drive-Inn Restaurant on our property on E. First Street. The access will be from a new street to intersect with E. First Street. The new street will be built by ACHD specifications. They require it to be a forty one foot wide street measured back to back of the curbs with a five foot sidewalk on the south side. The sewer and water will be extended as required. Corrie: The Fire Department requested either a turn around on that proposed road or connect up with that other street. Is that a problem? Hon: We'll certainly meet whatever we need to to do that. Clerk Niemann: Where are you going to bring the sewer from? Hon: The sewer is on our property to the east and it will come from where the proposed road will be running east of the site. Kingsford: Anyone else to testify? No response.

Roll Call Vote: Yerrington - Yea; Giesler - Yea; Corrie - Yea; Tolsma - Yea: Motion Carried: All Yea: MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 18, 1992 PAGE 18 ITEM #13: REQUEST FOR COMPACT CAR PARKING BY SCHOOL DISTRICT AT MERIDIAN HIGH: Kingsford: The School with their addition to the gym, locker room, weight room, and so forth are required to have additional parking spaces. They are going to re-stripe all of these. The Motion was made by Tolsma and seconded by Giesler to approve of the request of the School District on compact car parking. Motion Carried: All Yea: ITEM #14: BID ON SOUTH SLOUGH SEWER: Kingsford: The City Engineer will address those. Eng. Smith: On February 14th we had a bid opening for construction of our south slough sewer interceptor that would connect near NW 11th Street in Meadowview Subdivision and extend to the east to the NW corner of the Tract Subdivision that was presented here this evening for your approval. That sewer line project was separated into two schedules. Schedule I extends from the beginning point to Meridian Road and Schedule II extends from Meridian Road to the Tract Subdivision northwest corner. We had six bidders. The low bidder for that project was Brown Construction, they are from Caldwell. They have done work for the City in previous years. (Explained - see tape.) Their bid for Schedule I is 5268,830.00, their bid for Schedule II is X120,696.00, a deduct was allowed in the bid if the bidder bid both Schedule I and Schedule II, they showed a deduct of $50.00. The total for their bid Schedule I and II is X389,476.00. As you can see from the engineer's estimate that the total that they bid for Schedule I & II is less than the total of the engineers estimate for Schedule I. In part of our easement negotiations with the property owners we ran into several items that it appears is going to result in an added cost to the contractor to satisfy those conditions of the property owners. #1 - going through farm land the property owners have requested a width of top soil be stripped from the trench area and that width of top soil would be separated into a separate pile. Then the spoil from the excavation of the trench can be placed along side of the trench and not contaminate the soil. The contractor had figured a certain width to strip and set aside to do his operation, it appeared in talking to him yesterday with the engineer that this width was not going to be adequate to contain all of his spoil • MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 18, 1992 PAGE 19 pile so we decided to extend that width 5 additional feet. The added expense for Schedule I is (2443.20 and Schedule II is X2176.80. Again based on the experience we had two years ago on the Ten Mile sewer line we still have a problem out there with some contaminated farm ground. Also one item that was overlooked in the original bidding document was the access for the contractor on Venable Lane to get to the sewer line. Basically that's his only access to start the project and to do that he would need to utilize Venable Lane, which is a private lane. Most of the lane is in very good condition, however the southerly portion of it could suffer a little bit by the movement of the construction vehicles. Stated price for gravel for possible repair to Venable Lane, that would be the expense of that gravel if any would be based on a unit price but based on the 300 cubic yards estimated quantity there's an additional $2475.00 to be added to that. Also to utilize Venable Lane they will need to cross over Creason Lateral, which is what South Slough turns into after the feeder ditch comes in from the Five Mile Creek and there's a little concrete culvert that was built by the irrigation district that we don't feel is capable of supporting the construction vehicles so he would bridge over that existing culvert. His cost to do that is X2700.00. Adding those items to the original bid price you have a new total of $399,271.00. We have a tentative meeting scheduled with the property owners on Thursday of this week to talk to them and discuss the bid and the schedule that we want to follow, any other concerns they may have on their easement and we will want to receive their easement then immediately, either at that time or immediately thereafter. The contractor is ready to proceed as soon as we give him Notice of Award which is what I would ask for this evening. Kingsford: How about the easements on Schedule II? Eng. Smith: I don't think there is a problem. (Explained - see tape) Kingsford: We feel we could and meet start up schedule. get those in hand for Schedule II Eng. Smith: Yes definitely basically delay Schedule II. really critical is Schedule I. with Schedule II because we can The only part of this thing that is Kingsford: It would be my recommendation given the prices that were bid, I think they are outstanding. My feeling is that we are going to need that Schedule II done in a reasonably close fashion. It's my suggestion we go ahead and approve of the award of both of them to Brown. s • MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 18, 1992 PAGE 20 The Motion was made by Tolsma and seconded by Corrie to approve of the bid received from Brown Construction with the amendments that the Engineer has requested. Motion Carried: All Yea: The Motion was made by Yerrington and seconded by Giesler to authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the appropriate documents on this construction project. Motion Carried: All Yea: ITEM #15: DEPARTMENT REPORTS: Wayne Forrey: The first item is the Meridian Housing Inventory. The field work is complete and we are printing the report for each of the Council Members and Planning and Zoning Commission Members, that will have maps and also recommendations and our Findings. I'd like to request a joint work session to bring both groups together and discuss that housing inventory or on the next City Council Agenda. (Discussion - see tape) The next item I have is the 11th Street blocked irrigation ditch. The Highway District has cleaned a portion of the ditch in the right of way, they just found some mud and some dirt. They lamped it and did not see any blockage up to the elbow where it turns and goes south along the back properties along 11th Street. Their feeling is that the blockage is somewhere in the tree and the tree roots have gotten into that pipe near Camellia and 11th. Their recommendation is to get Roto Rooter out there and auger that. Kingsford: Let's proceed then from the appropriate place. Forrey: Downtown Redevelopment Phase II, item A we are still waiting for that review appraisal. They had one additional property they wanted more information on so that should be done this week. We know have the contract and other documents ready to submit to Department of Commerce. Item C - we completed our walk through today and we are going to meet with the Highway District Staff next week to review the conceptual design and we'll also run that past Gary. We are on the agenda for the 27th of February at 7:00 with the Board to get their endorsement of the concept and see if there are any problems on that end. Also next week we are anticipating distributing a Newsline on the Phase II project but I'd like to ask the Council if you'd like to distribute that to everyone on the East First Project or scale it back just to the Phase II people. . • MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 18, 1992 PAGE 21 Kingsford: I would think we could phase that back to the people that are in that corridor from the railroad tracks to Pine. Forrey: Explained the meeting about the south slough. Also number five, we met with the Highway District and I believe we had very successful negotiations on this final pay estimate. They asked me to go ahead and prepare the final funding spread sheet that we could present to the~ACHD Board on the February 27th meeting. We are going to approach them for 1/2 of the extra cost on E. First. (explained further - see tape) Kingsford: What does that put the total amount for each side? Forrey: It' s about 1460, 000.00 each side. It' s about 30 to 35,000 over the original estimate. Kingsford: Any other department reports? Yerrington: We met with the Legislating Committee and I wonder if we as a body shouldn't write a letter to the Revenue and Taxation Commission endorsing House Bili #569 to all the members of that and have the Mayor sign. Kingsford: What we are talking about here is the home rule local option tax package as number one priority for the Association of Idaho Cities Legislative Committee. Yerrington: I think we ought to send that same letter to the Representatives and Senators in Ada County. The Motion was made by Yerrington and seconded by Tolsma to write a letter supporting House Bill #569. Motion Carried: All Yea: Kingsford: Anyone else? Giesler: Something has been bothering me and I'd like to bring it up tonight. We have had a number of subdivisions come in front of us this past few months, I don't have any idea of the number of lots that we've approved but I think this body needs to sit back and take a look at just where we are at. I would recommend that as of tonight that no more annexation or preliminary plats be looked at until we have had an opportunity to look at our water supply, our sewer and our housing inventory that Wayne has for us right now. I would make this in the form of a motion and Yerrington seconded this. ' • • MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 18, 1992 PAGE 22 Discussion held by Mayor, Council and City Engineer. (see tape) Eng. Smith: Stated that a water study should be completed in the next two months. Water Master Plan and Proposals are now being reviewed. Our system will pump approximately 5500 gallons per minute maximum if there was a malfunction the water system possibly could not supply the amount of water needed. In August last year we pumped 121,500,000 gallons of water. Crookston: We need to make a Finding that water is nearly at capacity and adopt a moratorium and reassess on March 3, 1992. We have to have factual findings to support a moratorium and if necessary pass an ordinance on March 3, 1992. There is 1,000 more lots in the works and warrants action on likelihood the City can't meet water needs. Finding that there is a likely situation with the domestic water supply, Meridian may have inability to provide the needs that are existent now. Based on that you can adopt a moratorium resolution and determine at next meeting whether or not that moratorium needs to be continued. Kingsford: We have enough to do what we have now. Crookston: We believe that's that the fact but additional factual information would be substantially better, but we do have substantial knowledge with what the City Engineer has indicated and with what Bruce Stuart has said that we may very well be at that juncture, but we can't say these are the figures. The Motion was amended to include these facts. Motion Carried: All Yea: Kingsford: Council found a finding that the domestic water system may very well be at capacity. Until we are able to gather additional and conclusive knowledge we are placing a moratorium on building, not currently in the works. Anything else before we adjourn? Giesler: Complimented the staff of the City for keeping the Council informed. Yerrington: There's been a request by one of our citizens to have a skateboard ordinance. Expressed concerns about the bricks being damaged. MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 18, 1992 PAGE 23 • Kingsford: More concerned about pedestrians than the bricks. I don't think we ought to be legislating against kids. I think the alternative we ought to be looking at is to look for some place we can start for them. The Motion was made by Corrie and seconded by Yerrington to adjourn at 9 : 45 P. M. Motion Carried: All Yea: (TAPE ON FILE OF THESE PROCEEDINGS) APPROVED: NT P.

A condition for issuing the building permit was to increase the number of parking spaces at the school. The new facility displaces 28 spaces. Before construction 738 parking spaces exist. The parking lay- out was re-drawn on a site plan. By restriping we can do the following: SSO regular spaces 241 compact spaces 10 handicapped spaces 801 total spaces 60 more spaces will be available after construction than were available before construction. The new addition will have no classrooms and will not increase the school's student capacity so additional parking will not be required. No parking problems are experienced with the present 738 spaces so we feel that 801 spaces will be adequate. The restriping will be done when weather permits. I request that a building permit be released allowing the district to proceed with construction. Thank you for considering this request. cc: Dan Mabe, Deputy Superintendent Ewing Construction ZGA Architects ~ , f • • in access aisles to and from public rights-of-way.
