Morcow: Mr. Mayor I would like some discussion on the findings. We have a combination
of the findings here with respect to the piping of the ditch and the landscaping issues. I
think that the piping of the ditch is fine because we had granted that same variance to
Parkside Creek. On the last page of the conclusions it says that the plan may be and we
are talking now here about the landscaping plan and the buffers, it says that the plan may
be submitted to the Council if the Planning and Zoning Administrator believes that it should
be approved by tMe Council. I think my preference there would be to give (inaudible) after

looking at the site, after Wally Lovan's comments that there were some potential changes
in that ground configuration that would further expose more of those homes to this

Life Safety Code adoption with those amendments. Anyone from the public like to have

Morrow: Mr. Mayor, can we have some background as to what the changes are going on
here. VVe didn't have anything in our packet, there was no information here to indicate why
we are repealing and then re-enacting. I personally would like to know (inaudible).
Kingsford: Counselor, can you address that or the Fire Marshall.
Voss: What is it you don't understand there Walt?
Morrow: Why are we repealing?
Kingsford: What those exceptions might be?
Morrow: What is it we are repealing and why are we repealing that and then we are re-
enacting a portion. What is the difference, what is the change?
Voss: Without a copy of it, which I don't have in my hand right now, basically what we are
doing is changing from the number of occupancy in certain apartment housing, hotels,
motels, enacting a sprinkler ordinance to sprinkle buildings that are above a certain level
of occupancy, heights, and get protection to the public that is living in these rented
apartments. This transpired in Nampa, we are trying to following suit. I look forward to it
being adopted throughout the state.
Morrow: What does the code currently say, what is the difference in height and
occupancies in the code currently?

a basement even though it is ground level. We have changed it to state that any building

radical change of doing away with the word story to floors. .

ITEM #10: PUBUC HEARING: REQUEST FOR A PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR AVEST
PLAZA BY AVEST LIMITED PARTNERSHIP:
Kingsford: At this time I will open the public hearing and invite the owner or his designee
to speak first.
Larry Durkin, 380 East Park Center Blvd., Boise, was sworn by the City Attorney.
Durkin: I am speaking on behalf of Dakota Development, Avest Limited Partnership, Fred
Meyer Stores, Inc. and Key Bank of Idaho. As you know we have been working on this
development for the past 3 years and the plat and the site plans that I am going to show
you tonight are the result of neighborhood meetings, public hearings, meetings wifh the
City of Meridian, AC'HD, tenant meetings and the input from our architects, engineers,
traffic study experts. The property is presently annexed to the City of Meridian, the
property is zoned for the use we are pcoposing. Fred Meyer, Key Bank and the storage
units are ready to begin as soon as we can gain final approval and complete the
necessary.architectural and engineering work. We received unanimous final approval
from ACHD after 2 public hearings on this project. The project wilt represent a multi-million
doltar investment in the community and will employee nearly 500 full and part time
employees from the area. Some of the concems we have encountered and solved include
traffic flow to and from the project. Adequate buffering, from the project to the adjoining
residential areas, off site work to accommodate the project and adjoining residential areas.
The traffic flow~concems to and from the project have been solved according to the ACHD
staff and our traffic study engineer. We have reduced or restricted the access points to
meet the concerns of ACHD. Adjacent properties are buffered by a berm along Locust
Grove and by the construction of the storage units behind Fred Meyer. The berm will be
constructed in accordance with the development agreement approved by the City during
the annexation of the project and in accordance with the recommendations of staff and the
previous public hearings. The project is divided into 10 lots, if I may step over and use
Wayne's microphone. I will face it this way and then I will turn it back for the audience.
Lot 1 is the parcel that is the Fred Meyer parcel, Lot 2 is a pad up in this corner up on
Locust Grove, Lot 3 is the parcel that we intend to build a Key Bank on. Lot 4 is a parcel
that we expect to build a McDonald's restaurant on. Lot 5 is a pad that would be a multi-
tenant building pad. Lot 6 is the loop road that surrounds the entire project. Lot 7 is a pad
on the corner of Fairview Avenue and the loop road. Lot 8 is another pad parcel and then
Lot 9 is the mini-storage parcel and Lot 10 is a separate parcel that will be used for the
detention pond for the storm drainage for the project. The off site improvements we will
~ ~ •
Meridian City Council
March 7, 1995
Page 10
construct include medians along Fairview Avenue, sidewalks around the project and
extend the necessary utilities tq the site. I would like to now put up the site plan if it is
appropriate for the entire 40 acres so you can get an idea of how it will be laid out. The
project lays out, see the Fred Meyer, it is 171,000 square foot store, and the parking, will
have landscaping along Fairview in accordance with the development agreement, all up
along Locust Grove. We are landscaping the entry drives off of Fairview and Locust
Grove into a certain point. Then the loop road comes around the back of the project, this
is atl the mini-storage here will screen the retail development from the residential areas.
It is about 430 feet from the loading docks of Fred Meyer to the closest resident going to
the north. We have, there is a particular matter in the development agreement that we
have with the City fhat I would just Iike to bring to your attention and make sure you are
aware of. One of the big concerns we have, had from the adjacent property owners are
the people to the west along that Locust Grove. We are providing them with the materials
to build a berm along the front of their properties and we are providing them with money
to landscape that berm. I have talked with one of the owners and they wondered how are
we going to build this berm. The big question is when is ACHD going to expand the west
side of Locust Grove. That schedule just isn't within our control it is within ACHD's control.
When we develop this project the east side of Locust Grove will be expanded and widened
so that you will have 2 lanes going north and a center turn lane and one lane going south.
ACHD at a later date will be expanding the road and fhey just have not let us know
precisely when that will occur. I want to assure the Council tonight that we'll continue to
get fhat information from ACHD and that we will have our surveyor provide a staking along
the west side of Locust Grove so that the property owners have a fairly good idea where
that road extension is going to be. The concern specifically was that they would build
these berms on theic side and then ACHD would come along and widen the road and take
out the berms. So I think that to the best of our abilities we are going to handle that
concern, but ACHD hasn't been specific with exactly the dimensions and the timing
(inaudible). I am prepared to answer any questions that you may have.
Morrow: The storm drainage site, Lot 10, is that within the inside of the fence that
separates fhe storages from the rest of the project?
Durkin; Yes it is.
IUlorrow: So it is not exposed to general view?
Durkin: No, it is completely protected.
Morrow: You also stated that from the loading docks on the Fred Meyer store to the
northern residences was a minimum of 430 feet, how many feet is it to the west to those
residences?
• •
Meridian City Council
March 7, 1995
Page 11
Durkin: I would like to clarify that statement, it is approximately 430 feet, it isn't a minimum
of. I can give you that other answer here just a minute. Mr. Morrow, was your question
the loading docks or the edge of the Fred Meyer building?
Morrow: The loading docks.
Durkin: 480 feet.
Morrow: My final question is with respect to you are providing materials and money for
those landscaping berms, what sort of guarantee does the City and the citizens have that
those will come to pass in terms of completion bonding and those types of things?
Durkin: That is a good question, in our annexation process we had to agree to enter into
a development agreement with the City, it is an agreement that is drafted by and provided
to us by the City. It covers our requirements prior to obtaining a building permit you have
to do certain things, excuse me prior to obtaining an occupancy permit. I don't know
precisely if that matter is a bonded issue, there are quite a few of the improvements that
are bonded and I am not certain if that specific one is bonded. It certainly has to be done
prior to getting an occupancy permit for any of the parcels. It is an obligation that we have
with the City to do fhose improvemenfs, that berming and provide that money to the
residents. It is also the same requirements we have to provide some of the perimeter
landscaping for the project. We have to do those things, they have to be completed prior
to gefting an occupancy permit.
Morrow: With respect to ACHD are you short the technical data in terms of where the
expansion on the west side would go, or are you short an approximate time schedule as
to when that is going to take place?
Durkin: I am short the technical data, we ace dealing with estimates right now, we are
dealing with approximately X number of feet instead of precisely. So it is not an answer
I can't give a precise location of where that is going to be. We are dealing with estimates
from them at this time. From a timing standpoint, they are using a year, fhey are saying
we are going to complete it in 1997. I don't know if that is January or December, so that
is the timing we are facing with ACHD.
Morrow: Okay, in resolution of that is somebody asking for more specific time, I know that
it is in our 5 year plan. I know that our transportation committee for the City has worked
really hard to get North Locust Grove taken care of. So, if it is a question of a real tight
time schedule I am not sure that anybody can give you that information. It is a question
of specifics in terms of the road cross sections and elevations that information should be
forthcoming and that is fhe information you are waiting for?

Durkin: As far as the road elevations that information will be available to us well in
advance of us going into construction because that is important data to us and that is
something that ACHD is working on at this time. I don't have that information yet but that
will be available. The construction of the, from the center of Locust Grove all the way to
the east into our property including fhe property that we are dedicating to them that will
occur at roughly the same time as the canstruction of our project. Which we expect to
begin in July or August and have completed by April of 1996. But the construction of the
west side of Locus# Grove as it affects those adjacent property owners on the west side,
the precise time table and the precise width of that Iane isn't available to me at this time.
So, as much as I would like to get up and say we are going to mark the exact spot that
information is coming from others that are out of my control. So we are going to work as
closely as we can with ACHD as we have to for this construction anyway. As soon as I
have that information available we will provide that location.
Morrow: I understand, my final question has to do with respect to the major concern in that
area from a couple of property owners standpoint, it has to do with the irrigation supply
lines coming across this property. There was a meeting last fall befinreen myself, the Gity
Attorney, representatives from Avest, Dove Meadows, Wingate Place and the church.
Essentially the outcome of that meetings where it was left was that it was up to the
development folk to form together whatever team they needed to have the problem in
terms of the irrigation as it affects Mr. Aschenbrenner, Mr. Bryan resolved prior to the start
of the irrigation season. We are now within about 40 to 45 days of the start of that season.
It is my understanding by virtue of a letter we received tonight fhat nothing has yet been
done towards solving those problems. Quite candidly the City's position was is that those
things would be resolved prior to the start of the irrigation season or there would be no
further action with any of those subdivisions in terms of pcoceeding further on. Can you
tell us tonight what the schedule is for solving fhose irrigation problems?
Durkin: I cannot answer that, but there is a gentleman here tonight that can. I will ask him
to stand up, his name is Steve Sweet and he has had meetings with these people. It is my
understanding that the matter is resolved. Was this letter delivered to you tonight or was
this in the packet.
Kingsford: Delivered to us today.
Durkin: I am just, it is a technical matter and he is an engineer and he can answer that.
Crookston: Mr. Durkin, a5 much for Avest's protection what devices are going to be put
in place for the property owners that do abut Locust Grove on the west that you are giving
money to and materials. What I don't want to see is you give them the money particularly
fhe money, the materials t assume will be there, but what assurances are you taking to
• •
Meridian City Council
March 7, 1995
Page 13
make sure that money goes into construction of a berm on their side without someone
selling their house and taking the money and then leaving their buyer with the obligation
to do it but they don't have any money.
Durkin: Wayne, I don't believe that it is an obligation that the property owners have to do
the berm. The obligation was put on us to provide the top soil materials for these people
and provide them with the money to finish the landscaping and sprinkling or whatever they
want to do. We are going to do that in accordance with the development agreement that
was drafted by the City. But as far as Avest assuming the responsibility that money be
used in an appropriate manner, it was our obligation to provide the materials which we will.
It is our obligation to provide the money which we will, but that is where it began and
ended as fiar as (inaudible).
Kingsford: Would there be a disclosure requirement if that sell that Wayne?
Crookston: There should be. Whatever money you have put into it is put into the project
and not used by the owners for another purpose.
Kingsford: Well, if the owners opted to do that I see nothing wrong with that, they are the
ones being inconvenienced. If they want lights in their yard that is going to be their
elective I would think. I would think they would want to screen themselves.
Crookston: I would agree with that but I would certainly want to see it there.
Durkin: From our stand point we didn't have the ability to force them to do it, they all have
expressed a desire to do it and we are taking care of the material and some of the financial
part.
Kingsford: Mr. Durkin, I had a question with regard to the storage sheds on the north part.
It is my understanding that will be phased that the part along. the north will not be
constructed, we don't know a date certain that will happen. And I understand from the
minutes of P& Z that there was discussion of there being a mound of dirt from excavation
that would screen that. What kind of provision is there to see that is not an attractive
nuisance, a dust bowl that sort of thing?
Durkin: I have some people tonight here from Stor-I# and I would ask them to talk about
precisely their schedule. But, if I could just walk over. It is my undecstanding that the
storage unit will begin in phases and start here go up into this area first, when that is up
and full it will expanded along to the west. It is our plan to take roughly 60,000 yards of
excess material that we are going to have from top soil and stock pile it along in this area.
As far as timing of that, timing of the storage units I am going to ask Kathleen Weber to
'~ ~
Meridian City Council
March 7, 1995
Page 14
address that precisely. As far as what we are going to do to maintain it, we would
anticipate that it would look similar to the way it looks out there right now except there
would be a dirt pile.
Kingsford: Any other questions for Mr. Durkin?
Yerrington: Yes, I have one question,, on the west side of the road where you are going
to build this berm, were you planning on putting a sidewalk on that side of the road?
Durkin: There are actually 2 berms that we are going to be building. The one on the west
side we are providing the materials to those people and they are going to finish the berm
and use the monies that we are giving them. The sidewalk will be part of the ACHD
expansion, the sidewalks are in their control for the west side. The sidewalk on the east
side of Locust Grove adjoining our property will be installed and completed prior to the
opening of the center. That sidewalk on the west side again falls into the ACHD time
frame and that is part of their construction as well as curb and gutter.
Kingsford: Any other questions? Thank you
Durkin: I would like to just mention then 1 have Steve Sweet, I would like him to talk about
the irrigation matter, I have David Husk from Fred Meyer stores here that would be happy
to answer any questions regarding fheir store. Kathleen Weber is here from Stor-It and
I am going to ask her to talk about the schedule for the storage units.
Steve Sweet, 405 South 8th St, S-295, Boise, was sworn by the City Attorney.
Sweet: Gentlemen, we are dealing with 2 issues here. We are dealing with irrigation and
drainage. I want just for the record to read Mr. Bryan's words, I have been in contact this
past week with the engineers involved with the Avest property. I feel at this time that this
problem can and will be resolved. Mr. Bryan has been very good to deal with, we do have
irrigation along this north property line and a number of previous landowners have
relocated (inaudible) upstream. We are working to deliver to his point of delivery as
required by State statute that we continue to deliver his water. .Drainage is another matter,
there is considerable agricultural use upstream of Mr. Bryan's home. He has more
drainage water than he wants at times. And we are working with him on relocating the
ditch away from his property onto the Avest property as a temporary measure to relieve
the irrigation drainage. We have a legal right to convey the drainage through our property
onto the next and not backing up our upstream user. Mr. Bryan is also under the same
criteria and is in a little bit of a quandary in that the ditch is adjacent to his property in the
Highway District right of way outside of Nampa Meridian's jurisdiction. There is a need for
Mr. Bryan also to clean his ditch in order to convey the water downstream to the Jackson
• •

stub drain. We will be working with him on that. Timing, we are in the design process, we
will need to have Mr. Bryan and Nampa Meridian review and approval, we have met with
the City Engineer on a preliminary basis and we will also be submitting to the City
Engineer for his review and approval of the plans. As far•as when construction is going to
take place I can't tell you other than my client says he would like it yesterday.
Kingsford: It will be before the irrigation water is in?
• Sweet: I am not in a position to say when the construction will take place.
Kingsford: I guess I will remind of our requirement that it has to be done by then.
Sweet: Allow me to get a nodding of the head of my client, he says will it be done before
April 15th?
Durkin: I don't know if it will be done by April 15th, but if it is done after April 15th then
there is a transfer over. If the construction work is done after April 15th and we assure him
that we won't interrupt his water supply does that cover it?
Morrow: No; I think the issue here is bigger because in our meeting, what impaets this
project and unfortunately for the Avest project it happens to be a collection point where all
of these things come together. Prior to any developing the agricultural system worked
pretty well. And Mr. Bryan didn't have a problem. Mr. Aschenbrenner farms the spaces
along Eagle Road, Mr. Aschenbrenner has the capability of irrigating those mint fields with
well pumped water. His property drains and has historicall.y drained through the remaining
parcels and through the Avest property and on out. Quite candidly if you folks don't have
your drains and those other things done prior to the start of irrigation season than you are
going to get more water than you can use. And the concern in our meeting last fall was
is that befinreen fhe Avest project and the other 3 subdivisions and the church the irrigation
system and the drainage system has been pretty well goofed up. Where the meeting was
left was that there was going to be a concerted effort befinreen those 4 groups of people
to make sure that the agricultural problems and Mr. Bryan's problems have been solved
prior to the start of the irrigation season. And so that is where we are tonight with respect
to this question.
Durkin: Can you point out to me where that ditch is, where (inaudible).
Sweet: There are 2 ditches, there is an irrigation ditch along the north boundary, the
drainage ditch that comes fcom this point across the site and they both rneet in the
northwest corner of the site.

Roger Allen, 9647 West Pebblebrook Lane, Boise, was sworn by the City Attorney.
AI1en: We had a meeting here just this last week with the City Engineer and with our
engineer. We believe that we have both the short term solution to the problem and the
long term. We understand and I have Iived here long enough to know that what you are
saying is correct and that we have to take care of the water situation. There is a concern
presently that we cannot resolve (End of Tape) we have our eleyations and a lot more of
the engineering done on our project, we really can't go in and start putting pipe in the
ground and then find out that we didn't do it properly. So what we proposed here the other
day was a temporary solution which basically cesolves both the drainage and the irrigation
system and leaves it much like it was and has been through the years. If I could approach
the map there I think I can show you just in a general way what our problem is and how
we might resolve that. As we pointed earlier the irrigation water that enters our property
comes in cight here comes down to this point and goes into Don's property and that is
where he irrigates. That ditch can stay, in fact we went in last year at our own expense
and cleaned the ditch for pon so it could continue through there and it does deliver the
water here. So as far as the irrigation that could be next year, 5 years, 10 years from now.
There is really, when we know the exact elevation and our engineering is completed this
of course will be covered according to your ordinance, the City ordinance. As far as the
irrigation water, nothing will change whether we build or whether we start now or what.
WE are going to deliver pon's irrigation water to this point and the ditch is open and clear
now and we will keep it open and clear and fhen of course as do our phasing in our
development this ditch will be covered according to the development agreement. Now the
other problem that arises is a drain ditch that comes into our property about here, it comes
down and enters through Don's property about mid-property line, his property lines goes
from. about here to here and it enters right here. In fhe past part of the water that came
from up here off of the Aschenbrenner properties entered a ditching system actually it is
referred to as dirty water but one way or another it got thcough a ditching system and to
this point of our property. Then there was a ditch down across approximately in this area
and interested Locust Grove at this area and then continued on down and crossed in front
of John's home and down this way. So basically you had irrigation water coming here, he
would irrigate with that, you had drain water coming across the property here which is the
existing drain ditch. And you have part of this water though was split and came around this
direction go to here and came back to hece. Any way the water moved it came across the
• •
Meridian City Council
March 7, 1995
Page 17
property to here the drain water and fhis water came to here and eventually all winds up
right here. Don's ditches will not carry that water for one thing I know that the pipe
underneath his driveway is not large enough to carry the volume of water that is coming
down there now. And Don is having a lot of problem with this water backing up, part of it
is irrigation water, part of it is fhis drain water, part of it is this drain water. And I think
Don's contention in our discussion with him is fhat because this used to carry part of the
drain water so that it split coming across and part of it is coming here and part of it is
coming here that it relieved some of this water that was coming on and causing the
flooding here. What we are proposing as a temporary solution and that will work for the
time being to put the system back exactly like it was. On our property where this drain
come across we will divert and put in a culvert system and we can either regulate it or pon
can so that this water, the drain water that comes into his property can be split. We will dig
a ditch over here to this ditch and bring it down to this point. Now basically we have put
the water back exactly like it has been in the past. If Don feels like this is flooding him or
he doesn't want to use the water he can divert it to here and it winds up at this point
leaving our property. If he wants all the water to irrigate he can let it go that direction. And
that is what we would like to propose on a temporary basis until our engineering and I
believe Steve has quite a bit of information there on the engineering and what we are
proposing to do there. I really don't know, it seems Iike to me that I feel like our obligation
is to deliver the water exactly as it was delivered previously. That is what we are
attempfing to do on a temporary basis and of course the long term solution is all of that will
be covered and in culvert and done according to your City Ordinance. So anyway, I don't
know any other solution to it. Just one other point to make it real clear that I don't feel or
Steve that diverting this water whatever way it gets diverted up here and this ditch winding
up over there I understand it is carrying part of it, all of the water leaves our property at this
point whether it goes into Don's here and then runs down here because he has a ditch
along this area. But if we put a diversion ditch right here on a temporary basis until we get
this engineering and so forth now we can regulate this water we can put part of it here or
all of it whichevec way and it seems like a reasonable solution to me. Can I answer any
questions?
Kingsford: I think that was Don's concern and not seeing him, his concern was if it was
all dumped on his east boundary that ditch doesn't handle it. It needs to come in 2
locations so I think you have addressed at least what I heard was his concerns.
Allen: If you have other questions I would be glad to try and answer those.
Durkin: I have a photo here that I would be happy to submit and you can pass around.
It is an aerial photo, the date is on the back, it was last fall I believe. That shows the ditch
that we are talking about and then the irrigation line that we are talking about and Don's
house over by the Locust Grove end.

Kathleen Weber, 6904 Randolph Drive, Boise, was sworn by the City Attorney.
Weber: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council I didn't know I was going to have to speak
tonight, but I am glad I get to. I am here on behalf of Stor-It rental storages and we are
very anxious to be coming to the Meridian area, we are so anxious that we have had our
phone number in the phone book for the past year saying that we will be here in 1995. We
have been receiving calls from people in the Meridian area and the calls are transferred
to our Maple Grove office. The reason I bring that up is that whether we expand or not
past about the 1/3 mark on the back of I believe it is Lot 9 depends on the demand here
in Meridian. Since January of last year I have had abut 214 calls that have been recorded,
I am sure there are some fihat have been missed. My people have been keeping track of
that. I feel like there is going to be a real strong demand here in Meridian and I do know
that when we initially came in with our conditional use request for storages the people that
were past the 1/3 rnark on Lot 9 said we want it to go on down here too. So we have kind
of decided that if the demand is there that is what we will do. Initially I know that there is
going to be a lot of dirt coming off of the Fred Meyer excavation and the elevation work
that needs to be done, that is probably where we will keep fhat dirt and some of the
neighbors that were here at the Planning and Zoning meeting said that would be fine with
them and that is where they would Iike it.
Kingsford: Do you plan #o do anything else with it besides, dirt can blow around in the wind
and that sort of thing.
Weber: I do know that, I am not sure how that would work but maybe someone has heard
like if you could sprinkle some grass seed or something to keep the dirt, so it is not quite
as loose for the neighbors. Thank you.
Kingsford: Did Fred Meyer want to take this time now?
Durkin: I just wanted you to be aware he was here and could answer any quesfiions if you
had anything specific.
Kingsford: Does Council have questions for Fred Meyers? Anyone else from the public that
would like to offer testimony on this issue?
Elizabeth Gwin, 1515 South Carol Street, was sworn by the City Attorney.
Gwin: Well, you know we have been here before. Our main concem are the houses
along the road because we have 4 houses that face directly onto this property. One of my
. •
Meridian City Council
March 7, 1995
Page 19
concems is that we want to preserve those houses as residential homes. I have like in the
comprehensive Plan it designates our area as a mixed use area. I don't know if you know
this or not but our subdivision has covenants and one of the covenants is that there will
be no commercial within our subdivision. This is sort of causing a problem because the
last 3 homes that have sold in there, people have come in there and set up some kind of
home business. I checked with the Council, the County does allow some sort of
businesses but not one of these people have a permit for a business. 1Ne have a nursery
along the road, a landscape business, we have someone that is running a small welding
shop, another man that is some sort of a concrete business where he brings some trucks
and things and I think some of the neighbors had to write to the County about that and ask
them to curtail the traffic. Well, I don't know how you enforce covenants if people don't
want to do that. I guess if you have a lot of money you can get a lawyer and sue but I
don't' know who wants to do that. I don't know when you are going to annex us but I do
wish you would change that designation because it is sort of creating a conflict in that little
neighbofiood there. I know the people that face the road may need that option, but I hate
to see that. My biggest point is that I would like to see whatever can be done to preserve
those homes so people can be comfortable living there with a shopping center and
whatever else goes there. As far as the money that has been allotted by Avest for
landscaping for these people I would like to see some sort of a contract with those people
that it is used for that with the idea that we are preserving these homes for residential use.
Some of the things that I think the people might want to do with that besides just buying
shrubbery. would probably be sprinkler system, some people might want to change their
driveway configurations to maybe a circle drive or somefhing like that. I don't know
someone might want to add more fencing of some sort because we don't really know how
much foot traffic this thing will generate and whether we are going to have a problem with
people lounging on lawns and things like fhat, maybe some teenagers. And some people
might want to add more fighting because we don't have street lights in our subdivisions.
I don't know what their needs would be but I would like to see a contract of some sort so
that the money is used for that. Some of the yards are so small now that face the road that
I don't know that they will want to use dirt for berming or not. If you have driven along
there you have probably noticed that. Also I would like to say thanks for the 4 foot berms
on the east side of the road, I think that will be a big help. I would like to see, I don't know
what the City can do to encourage Avest to do this or not but I would like to see a lot of
evergreens along that side of the road too on those berms. I noticed a lot of shopping
centers Iike to use these litfle what people call mall trees, little maples and thing~s. They
really don't screen much so I would like to see evergreens there if you could thing about
fhat. Also, you haven't gotten to the Key Bank yet but I did write in my letter about loud
speakers. I would Iike to see the ordinance that the City has of a 100 foot from their
property Jine be evoked here, I think that would pretty much take care of noise coming into
our area I am not sure. I am sure they will be at least 90 feet from the property lines, is
what I am figuring from the edge of the subdivision. On the irrigation, I am not real sure
• ~ •
Meridian City Council
March 7, 1995
Page 20
what happens to the water after it leaves Don's I guess it goes back down the road into
another ditch.
Kingsford: It goes north a little ways and then under Locust Grove and through those
subdivisions.
Gwin: I have a little bit of a concern because in our subdivisions I think there are maybe
a couple of people that use irrigation water and I am not sure, they come off a different
ditch so I know that, I understand that ditch is being abandoned but what concerns me is
a Iot of people have wells that are just for irrigation and they aren't very deep and they
count on that influx of water coming in through the ditches and it saturates the ground and
then they pump it out is what they do. I don't know whether that is going to lower that
ground water level to the point where a lot of people won't have those wells. When you
have lots that are half acre to 1 1/4 you can't really pump from your house well and water
so that is anofher concern. I do have a concern about the dirt and debris when they are
constructing over there and digging up. I don't know what kind of containment they can
do but I have been thinking about power washing my house down for the last 2 years and
everytime I think about doing it some other construction starts and then there is dust all
over the windows and everything. So I figure I might as well wait and rent the power
washer and do that. I wish they would do whatever they could, if it takes water trucks.
Another problem was D& B where they are constructing that there was a big problem a
couple days they drug mud and dirt right onto Fairview and you couldn't even use the right
lane you had to get over, if you had a truck to go through there you would be alright. I
hope that won't happen, there won't be a lot of dirt drug out onto the roads because that
really makes a mess. Another thing is the road widening, whenever fhat happens, I don't
know what City of Meridian's policy is on all of this widening of roads, I think it is kind of
not real smart in a way. It costs mill'ions of dollars and I don't know that it really does that
much to help traffic flow, it just makes people think fhey are on a freeway and they speed
up. So, I had spoke to the County about lowering the speed Iimit along that road until the
road was completely widened and we had more than one southbound lane along there.
Which it looked like it would be a year or 2 but maybe not until we would have 5 lanes.
I would still Iike to see maybe down to 30 or 25 along there because it seems like it is
going to be a real mess for people turning off and on Locust Grove Road from the
shopping center side and from our subdivision which only has the one entrance there. I
don't know what the City can do to influence that but whatever you could do that would be
appreciated. That is about all of the concerns that I have really right now, but I wrote in
my letter and asked that the City and staff and anyone else that was going to peruse these
plans if you would do your utmost ~to look at things that maybe the people, just the
neighbors by it don't see as being a conffict or realize what is going to happen. This has
happened so many times when we have had Idaho Afhletic and now we have
fntermountain Sports along there. You end up with problems with fighting and the
~ ~
Meridian City ~Council

Page 21
windows wifh Idaho Athletic that is still not resolved. Now the neighbor down there has
a problem with some drainage on his property, we finally got some decent rain and he had
some flooding in the back and he said he watched the water run off Idaho Athletic and run
over across their sidewalk into his property which sits a little bit lower. So there are a lot
of problems thaf can happen you just can't anticipate and I wish you would try to think
about all of those. You are more accustomed to construction and everything and this
development then we are really. So, whatever you can do to keep our neighborhood a
nice place to live and keep the homes along Locust Grove so they are comfortable and
good for the people there. We are real worried about our property values and things
because I don't know we should be everytime our property values go up our taxes go up
which is another concern. Whatever you can do we appreciate it. Thank you.
Kingsford: Mr. Wood
Dan Wood, 2119 East Chateau, was sworn by the City Attorney.
Wood: My parents are out of town right now they live at the end of Dixie Lane so I have
a few questions they asked to me check on. Avest has really tried to do a good job overall
and it is difficult to please everyone. What I was hoping to do was have a few questions
answered. My folks Iive right at the very end of Dixie Lane with their map I think he
mentioned Lot 7 and 8 are commercial sites. I was just wondering with the way it is set
up is there anyway we can have some kind of restriction so that all the dumpsters and
those types of things aren't put at the back of the lo.ts so fhat Dixie Lane doesn't turn into
a alley way type situation. So it looks to me like if Avest Lane that private lane is going to
be used for a go around street for the project if Dixie Lane is not, it is going to be a private
tane I guess, I don't think anybody knows for sure. So it looks like it is going to be a
perfect spot to turn into an alley. If there is anything anybody can find out on that. The
otfier thing I was wondering is they are also talking about a pass way from their northeast
corner all the way up to probably lot 8 and then cutting across from there over into the
project. The time frame with that would that be completed in the first phase of the mini-
storage units. That would be, right now it is still used as a private lane for the cars to go
up and down, I am not sure all that pathway is on their property so maybe there is plenty
of room but it seems like that something else that needs to be answered. The only other
thing, you brought up earlier about your ordinance on pathways what is it. How wide does
it need to be is there a certain.
Kingsford: We don't have a specific width unless we use federal funds then we are limited
to how small they can be, but we don't have a specific width.
Wood: Okay, so if you could just find out or set some requirements, really the biggest
thing is the dumpsters if there is something we could find out on that.

Kingsford: It is probably logical that those would be in the back but I would say certainly
the City could make some requirements that they be enclosed in some nature so they
wouldn't be an eye sore.
Wood: So then would Dixie Lane get paved or is it going to stay that way?
Kingsford: I don't know what the situation with Dixie Lane is now, whether Avest would
~be able to use Dixie Lane or not. I am not sure who the owner of that property is, it is a
private lane. Who owns that currently?
Wood: It seems to me it would be part of the City ordinance that somebody has to own it
for it to be annexed.
Kingsford: It is owned by someone, PII give you that.
Wood: The only reason I ask is because I went through a lot of trouble with the northern
part of Dixie Lane to clarify who owns that because of tfie request from the City Council.
Kingsford: We can check I am sure the legals would show who does own it. I couldn't tell
you off the top of my head. Anyone else from the public?
Mary Caho,un, 1875 North Locust Grove, was sworn by the City Attorney.
Cahoun: I won't tell you my whole little sad story about living off of Locust Grove because
I am sure you have heard enough of that. I guess the only thing I want to talk about
tonight is the service road that is going to be right there by my property. Your loop road,
I am just west of that. I know that the first 2 entrances into Fred Meyers are right in and
right out and maybe this is a mini-fhing that you can help me with. Maybe you can make
a recommendation to ACHD, probably you can't do that either but I am just going to ask
anyway. Is that, since I live right there and I think this road if I am wrong just let me know,
but I think that this is a full access road where it can go in both ways. My driveway is right
there, I have talked about this before and it is hard enough right now getting in and out of
my driveway, I can hardly wait with this extra road right there it is going to be even more
difficult for me. We have a trailer, I finally got my husband to move that to the side of the
house so it is {inaudible). How am I going to pull my trailer in and out when we go
camping this summer, do 1 have to go out there and direct the traffic. We have these semis
that are going to be pulling in and out to deliver their goods or whatever, is it ACHD that
makes that decision or can you make recommendations for them or is it the fire codes that
makes it so they have to do it a full service.
Kingsford: I think if you are talking about the access road Mary, currently they are saying
• •
Meridian City Council
March 7, 1995
Page 23
that ACHD has given that approval. Could I get you to point to your property, is yours the
property just west of that road which is Weber Lane?
Cahoun: (Inaudible) I guess I have these little (inaudible) 5 year old and an 8 year old.
The people right next to me also have 2 small children the same ages as mine and I guess
I keep thinking about all of this tra~c and then crossing right where we live we don't have
sidewalks there. That is my mayor concern right now.
Kingsford: I appreciate that and probably your house will be more impacted probably than
the others and they are impacted bad enough.
Cahoun: Yes, it is really hitting me big time. Can you give me more money, that would
real make me happy.
Kingsford: I guess the answer to your one question is at least as we have been told and
not controlling the roads is that ACHD has approved those, I am not sure that is
necessarily a final thing but they have given approval. Certainly it is something we can
still try to look at. Could I ask you, is that access road going to be, it appears that
circulation would primarily be one way, but it is going to be both ways is that correct?
Durkin: Yes, it will be a 2 way street and it will be all movement at that intersection.
Frankly, Mary is the most affected person in the vicinity. I can't, she is directly affected,
the street lines up so that it goes between the 2 houses from a lighting standpoint and
everything else. There wilt be a center turn lane.
Kingsford: Of course that tuming action is going to put those lights directly into her house.
Durkin: They will, she is directly affected by this. Mary was at the ACHD meeting and we
discussed that at the hearing at length. The traffic on that street is really minimal, we have
a center very similar to this in southeast Boise, Albertson's and a Kmart center with the
same loop road going around. It is very light traffic from a trucking standpoint the semis
that would use that would be, the only trucks I would anticipate using that would be the
trucks servicing Fred Meyer, they average 19 semis a week at their store. They don't
operate at all hours of the night, they generally operate during the business day. So it isn't
like there are a lot of trucks going in and out of fhere. I do believe though that they will
come in off of Fairview it would be real unlikely for them to come in off of Locust Grove
because of the way the docks are facing. But they will exit out that way. So there is no
question.
Kingsford: I would ask that you try and give Mary some landscaping assistance when
dealing with at least that lighting.

Durkin: Would it be alright if I comment on a few of the other matters that were discussed?
Kingsford: Well, wtiy don't we (inaudible) address all of those again. Other members of
fhe public that would like to offer testimony?
Scott Stanfield, 2223 North Glenfield Place, was sworn by the City Attorney.
Stanfield: There was some question on the drainage a little bit earlier and one solution
was a temporary solution of increasing the pipe size and then put another culvert in. I just
have a question about what would happen to the existing drain during this construction.
If you cover that drain up during construction chances are you are going to bring in some
fi11 from the lots and I am worried about flooding this other lot. The lady addressed the
Athletic club drainage and I am thinking (inaudible) if you fill in this ditch what is going to
happen to this lot owner? It is just a comment that I have.
Kingsford: Thank you, anyone else?
Durkin: I just wanted to make a few points that were brought up and then I will be real
brief. As far as the irrigation I am clear on this now and I apologize for not being versed
on it before I got here. I wanted to emphasize there will be no interruption to any of fhe
irrigation service we are certain of that. As far as Dixie Lane it is a private street, ACHD
has asked us to leave it alone, we have no access onto it from our development. Each of
the parcels that are along, each of the parcels in the entire plat will require a conditional
use permit and that process is when the dumpster issues and all of those matters are
brought up. But the access points to Lot 7, Lot 8, and Lot 9 will come off of that loop road.
All pedestrian paths and walkways will be completed prior to the issuance of an occupancy
permit. On the letter that you gave me Mr. Mayor, I assume that all of you received the
letter regarding this irrigation. It says in here in this letter there was a meeting in July of
1994 and nothing had been concluded, but he also says in fhe letter that I have been in
contact this past week with the engineers involved and with the Avest property and feel
at this time that the problem can and will be resolved. However I would like to make it a
public record in case that it does not. Don is not here tonight, we talked many times on
it and the reason I am so surprised is he always seemed comfortable to me that he was
satisfied it was going to be resolved and 1 just wanted to point that out.
Kingsford: I think Don has been very patient over the years;and to have that on record is
certainly appropriate.
Durkin: Sure it is, but we it is not something we have ignored, we have met and talked to
him and i felt that he was real comfortable that it would be taken care of.

Tolsma: On Mr. Bryan's letter also he had recommended a temporary fencing to keep the
debris out of his pastures and (inaudible) toward the end of the letter. We have had some
problems before (inaudible) Iivestock areas (inaudible). I just wondered how you plan to
address that?
Durkin: Well, under the conditions that we have in our development agreement is that we
have to construct a perimeter fence around construction areas prior to any construction
to contain the debris. That was a condition that is on page 6 of the development
agreement we .have with the City.
Corrie: I guess I am still not convinced of what you are going to do. I guess this is to
Steve Sweet, the third drainage diich that is down there which looks like it is going to go
underneath the store whether it does or not what happens to that drainage water this
summer. It is flooding him out there, are you going stop it there and push it up higher, I
can't quite see where you are going to benefit by stopping that water from that side. How
are you going to stop even?
(inaudible)
Corrie: On the north side here you have fhe irrigation ditch then you have this drain ditch
and then there is another one that goes down through here and feeds into this area here.
AI1 3 of these going in is what is causing him some problems, what happens to this
drainage ditch right here.
Sweet: (Inaudible) this is an irrigation ditch, upstream that has been cut off, this irrigation
comes around the north side of the Shoshoni building along the drainage. That water
presently goes d,own to the drainage ditch and conveys across here. So in essence fhis
ditch has been abandoned by the upstream efforts.
Morrow: Have you talked with, it seems to me like in our meeting before that there was
some with respect to this split ditch thing some of that waste water that was used
.previously to irrigate other properties that are no longer being irrigated. I think Mr. Ewing
indicated something along those lines did he not. And so, have you touched bases with
Mr. Leader, Mr. Ewing and fhe church folk with respect to. It seems to me part of the
problem here if I recall is that now there is more water coming through the waste ditches
because of lack of upstream usage of that water which would make the pipe sizing that Mr.
Allen alluded to undemeath Mr. Bryan's driveway obviously too small. Have you touched
bases with those of the 3 owners to see what the issues there are with respect to this
irrigation thing?
Sweet: Personally I have not talked to them, Scott Weber of the Stor-tt group has been
• •
Meridian City Council
IVlarch 7, 1995
Page 26
talking with those folks_ and is aware of the situation. Our firm has been instructed to
determine how much water is coming down stream and the size the conveyances
adequately to pass the water through the site. There is a piece of gaposis on Mr. Bryan's
property between.where we discharge the water and where the Nampa Meridian picks it
up on his northwest corner of his site of the Jackson stub. We will be able to advise Mr.
Bryan of the size of the pipe that needs to go there to convey the water which he will also
want to keep in mind though is Ada County Highway District along with the improvements
that Avest is proposing for Locust Grove is planning on acquiring property from Mr. Bryan
along his westerly property line and completing Locust Grove which includes the drainage.
My anticipation is that as the improvements are done and Avest sizes the pipe and the
Highway District makes the improvements fhis matter will be taken care of.
Morrow: And the one point, my final point in terms of this issue is that it may very well be
that because of Mr. Leader's subdivision activities and because of Mr. Ewing's subdivision
activities you guys are bearing the brunt of solving the problem and certainly they should
have some share in the expense in terms of solving the problem. If the solution on a
temporary basis is to increase the size of the pipe underneath Mr. Bryan's driveway than
it looks to me like those folk ought to be contributing to that because it is their change in
usage that has created a part of the problem if inemory serves me correctly.
Sweet: Your point is well taken and I believe the City Engineer addressed this previously
when he talked about a lapsed preliminary plat upstream and that any future submittals
by properties would be coming into solving this drainage problem. I hear your message
and I also believe your City Engineer has heard fhe message.
Kingsford: Any other questions? If there is no other comment I will close the public
hearing. Seeing none it is closed. Counselor, is it your evaluation there was additional
testimony?
Crookston: There are no findings on this matter. This is the platting so there are no
findings.
Morrow: Mr. Mayor I would move that we approve the preliminary plat for the Avest Plaza
subject to staff conditions.

ITEM #11: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUEST TO ALLOW DRIVE THRU BANKING
FACILITY BY AVEST LIMITED PARTNERSHIP:
Kingsford: Does Council have questions about that? I have one, who is doing that
configuration? Can I ask a question on how that drive thru will be handled, is that going
to be on west side or north side or south side?
Durkin: The drive thru facilities are on the eastern side of fhe Key Bank building. The
access for this property comes off of Fairview.
Kingsford: The reason I ask was Ms. Gwin's concern about the noise and certainly if it is
on the east side it is going to help that.
Durkin: Actually that drive thru is not on the east, fhe drive thru lanes are on the south
side of the building. The City staff recommendation that the noise not exceed 59 decibels
I believe, oh 55, the volume is so low on the drive thru facilities that it was, it is not even
close to the street noise is quite a bit further. I pointed this out at the last one, I can show
you where her house is and where the drive thru is and I think you can (inaudible) Carol
Street and this is the first house, the Gwin house is the second house in. The noise has
to travel around the building over the berm across the street, over another berm down the
street before it affects her residence. The first affected residence would be this one here,
they face to the north on Carol Street. This is the 5th bank like this that we have built and
I am really familiar with them and I just can't foresee the circumstances for anyone.
Kingsford: Well surely she is not just concerned about her house (inaudible).
(End of Tape)
Kingsford: What is the Council's pleasure on the conditional use permit for the drive thru?
Morrow: Mr. Mayor I move that we adopt he findings of fact and conclusions prepared for

ITEM #13: PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR A ZERO FOOT SIDE YARD VARIANCE
BY ALBERTSON'S, fNC.:
Kingsford: At this time I will open the public hearing and invite the owner or his designee
to speak first.
Gordon Anderson, 1718 N. 15th Street, Boise, was sworn by the City Attorney.
Anderson: I am here to represent Albertson's Inc., what we are here to request is a zero
foot off set on a line that will be created common to lots 1 and 2. Lots 1 and 2 are
proposed lots of a 2 lot subdivision. I would like to point out on the map that first of all Lot
2 would be outlined by this configuration here. Lot 1 would be outlined by this
configuration here. The area we are requesting a zero lot line off set would be just the line
that is highlighted here. The purpose we want to do that is so with Albertson's
development plan for this site and the site has some constraints which is a configuration
of the lot itself. They feel that the best configuration for another development or developed
building would be adjacent to and along a common property line as shown on this map.
If they are developed as shown here that the purpose they wanted to develop this other
lot is to sell fhat to somebody else (inaudible) that they will just own and maintain the
remainder.
Kingsford: So you are talking about using a common wall basically befinreen those
buildings.
Anderson; Right it would be a common wall. I think just to hightight again, the irregular
shape of the lot does create some constraints on what the development could be. The
current zoning ordinance allows for a 10 foot sideyard setback only, it doesn't allow for a
zero configuration. Do you have any questions?
Corrie: The big plat we had sent to us earlier doesn't have that same configuration. There
is shop A but that didn't come around here. Where you have it straight across, let me
show you here (inaudible) you have it showing coming up here.
• •
Meridian City Council
March 7, 1995
Page 30
Anderson: This is a map for the (inaudible) and when fhey decided to name the architect
from CSHQA it helped some on this issue. With this configuration they hadn't decided to
develop another lot at that time. This was conditional use, we haven't changed any of the
other items on this map which would be driveways, other improvements, what happened
was the improvements, the proposed lot line configuration just wasn't shown on this map
at fhat time. Other than that the buildings are in the same location, driveways are in the
same location, improvements are depicted exactly the same. The only difference befinreen
this map and that map is the property line has been drawn.
Corrie: You are still going to have this parking in here?
Anderson: Yes, I can bring this one up. (Inaudible) parking spaces in here along this bank
here.
Kingsford: Any other questions?
Crookston: Excuse me, on the drawing that you have on the easel there, would you point
out where you want the zero lot line along that purple line that you have marked on there?
Anderson: (Inaudible) zero lot line on each side of this purple line.
Crookston: How far south?
Anderson: In the southerly direction it would end at this property line right here
(inaudible).
Crookston: There is not going to be a building there is there?
Anderson: (Inaudible) but there will be an Albertson's building that comes out. There will
be an Albertson's building that comes straight through here and they won't need to utilize
the zero lot line there. We could contain the zero lot line to a more defined area. It is not
as i# they could shift this building down and develop in this area because of setbacks
anyway. Our request to keep it simple was to be common to lots 1 and 2.
Crookston: Well, I guess my point is it has been the policy in the past to allow a zero lot
line as a common wall, but if you create a zero lot line all the way along the lot line
befinreen lots 1 and 2 than that would almost run down to the Eight Mile Laterat. Is that
what you are requesting?
Anderson: Our request was to create a zero lot line between the finro lots 1'~ and 2. The
main purpose is when the Lot 1 is sold that they can develop a building right adjacent to
~

the Albertson's building. That building there is shown conceptual there is going to be
some constraints to the south which won't allow you to build any closer to the lateral but
we do want some leeway to shift that building around a Iittle bit to fit within the setbacks
and our request was to do it common to lots 1 and 2 to simplify the matter. There won't
be any way that they can build near that lateral with a zero offset.
Kingsford: I think Gordon I wouldn't have any problem with the zero off set line between
those 2 buildings but I would hate to see us grant a zero lot line on your entire purple line.
That really opens up a, by us doing that you can make a building right up to your parking
lot and I don't think that would be desired at least to me, I don't think it would to the
Council. To have it co,nnect to the west boundary of Albertson's I don't have a problem
with because you are right, you are not going to move that very far south because you
wouldn't meet the sideyard setback. If you move it up to the front of the building that still
doesn't bother me but t don't want to see us grant a zero lot line all the way around there.
Anderson: Albertson's wouldn't be opposed to that, that would be fine.
Tolsma: (Inaudible) northern most line (inaudible).
Anderson: 1t would be appropriate to limit the zero lot Iine to this line only befinreen this
point and this point. I would have to verify with the building layout being that I erased
some of the text in here. We might need it on this 8 foot jog here too.
Kingsford: Any other questions of the Council? Thank you, is other testimony from the
public?
Katie Brown, 3459 SugarCreek Drive, was sworn by the City Attorney.
Brown: My question is, the people that were just preceding from Avest they addressed the
issues with the property owners. I want to know who we have to contact with Albertson's
for them to do the same thing. I want to know what the impact of all of fhis is going to be
on my property specifically. And what they are going to do to off set it. I have no idea to
contact.
Kingsford: Part of the problem there Katie is that this has been zoned for 15 years and it
doesn't have some of the same requirements fhat the Avest property did. With regard to
trying to eliminate some of those impacts certainly this is the body to address those with.
Brown: Because at the last hearing you were talking about the lights and noise, that is still
a big concecn for me. The more properties and businesses you put in that area the more
impact it is going to be. I want to know what is going to be to protect our interest.

Kingsford: Certainly we have our Ordinances with regard to height of lights, parking lot
Iights and direction that sort of thing. ~
Brown: How do we go about getting that information as property owners?
Kingsford: We have that information, either through Shari or Gary's department. Anyone
else from the public? Seeing none I will close the public hearing. Council members
Corrie: I have a question of information, do we need to get clarification from Albertson's
on exactly what they want that zero lot line now since they asked for the whole purple now
they said they would be willing just to go the store side.
Kingsford: I think that at least their representative said that I think what you can grant is
just that zero lot Iine on the north south Iine.
Morrow: We have to do findings on this anyway (inaudible).
Tolsma: Mr. Mayor, I would move that we grant the request, I would request we instruct
the City Attorney to prepare those findings of fact.
Morrow: Second
Kingsford: Moved and seconded, all those in favor? Opposed?
MOTION CARRIED: All Yea
Kingsford: Those findings will be completed at the next meeting.
Morrow: Mr. Mayor I might make a comment to Mr. Anderson, it may be to your benefit to
address Ms. Brown's issue. One of the things that we have seen with Avest project is it
has been a Class A presentation with respect to them working with the neighbors and so
on and so forth. I know that you guys don't have the same constraints that they do but it
would certainly be to your benefit to meet with the neighbors and explain what your project
is and walk them through what is going on in terms of a good way to appcoach the project
so that it doesn't become a major issue when you come before the City Council. It is a
piece of advice and that is all.
Kingsford: Such things I think Katie is concerned about is the screening on fhe front,
lighting and messy dress, those sorts of issues. So if you would visit with the neighbors
affected please.

~
REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
Kingsford: At this time I will open that public hearing and ask Mr. Wilson or his designee
to speak first. ~
Chris Wilson, 721 Bacon Drive, Boise, was sworn by the City Attorney.
Wilson: On the first of February I purchased an existing building from sue Peckham doing
business as Children First. I would like to formally request a transfer of that conditional
use permit be transferred to me as doing business as A Child's Dream. I do have my fire
inspection completed, health inspection and day care license at this time.
Kingsford: Any questions for Mr. Wilson? Basically what you are asking to do is exactly
the same kind of business?
Crookston: I have a question, where is this located, what is the address?
Wilson: 407 East Fairview.
Kingsford: It is the former Ross Furniture building Counselor. Anyone else from the public
that would like to offer testimony on this issue? Seeing none I will close fhe public
hearing.
Corrie: Mr. Mayor I move that we direct the City Attorney to draw up findings of fact and
conclusions of law.
Kingsford: Counselor is that necessary in a transfer?
Crookston: I don't think that it is.
Kingsford: Not where we don't change use, I wouldn't think. So I leave that up to the
Council to decide this evening if you want to go ahead and transfer.
Crookston: There were findings prepared when the Ross building was used for this.
Kingsford: We are talking about doing exactly the same thing as what the Peckham's were
doing. I assume it is roughly the same number of children and so forth. We are not
changing the use in any manner we are just transferring that conditional use which, it isn't
necessarily a given but when they are not changing any of the uses and it is in a
commercial building.

ITEM #15: FRED SPANGLER: REQUEST HOOK UP TO CITY SEWER:
Kingsford: Does the Council have any questions, you are familiar with that. It is a parcel
of land on East Pine that is not in the city limits at this time. You were advised fhat being
out of the City Iimits it is a double hook up, you were invited to be annexed.
(Inaudible)
Kingsford: We would be glad to annex you and not charge you the double fee.
Spangler: Well, how long will that take, it has already taken me 90 days now through Ada
County, they denied me. I came to you guys, I have waited 2 meetings now to see you.
Kingsford: I wouldn't be surprised that what this Council might very well say you can hook
up if you start that and get it done in a timely fashion and be annexed. That is kind of an
enclave out there.
Spangler: It is going to happen eventually you are going to annex me into the City of
Meridian, but back in through my studies of the sewer hook up there is not a line directly
across the street for me to hook up so it is going to take me an additional $10,500 to hook
up to the City of Meridian and that includes my impact fee. That is to dig across Pine
Street and to hook up. That is from my foundation across Pine. Now, Ada County who I
have already talked to last week they said, people are going to be building on the south
side of Pine Street eventually within 2 years. They are covering up what I call the
•
Meridian City Council
March 7, 1995

~
mosquito nest and putting a big culvert in there. Which that is one the south side of Pine
street that is where the sewer sits. So, there we are going to have to widen the road
because they are going to put a subdivision in there anyway within 2 to 3 years. That is
my understand 2 to 3 years maybe 4 years. Ada County says I can have 2 bedrooms and
I can stay hooked up until the development goes across Pine Street and they covered that
up that way if they decide to widen Pine Street that would be the time for me to hook up
because then I don't have to cut the asphalt. The cost is cutting the asphalt, it is not
hooking up, $2740 I will pay that to hook up but what is costing me is that $10,500.
Tolsma: They are charging you that much?
Spangler: That is one estimate that I got.
Kingsford: That is cutting the asphalt
Spangler: And digging 2 feet down, I have to have permits from Ada County to get
digging everything. That is what I found out on my vacation last week, it kind of bummed
me out.
Kingsford: If it is any consolation Ada County Highway District treats us the same way.
Yerrington: How many feet do you have to go with this line?
Spangler: Sir, I have got to go roughly off of my foundation down my lane is going to
probably be 157 feet. That is the the edge of Pine Street and then there is another 12
maybe 15 across or 20 feet across Pine Street and then 15 feet down.
Kingsford: What is that Gary, 18 inch, that was the line that was laid out.
Smith: I think it is 15 inch.
Kingsford: Well that was just my pitch, we would welcome you to fhe City. Does the
Council have any questions with regard to that hook up? Is there a motion?
Morrow: I don't have a problem with it, I am still not clear in my mind what the objection is
to being annexed to the City and I know he mentioned an impact fee. I don't know where
an impact fee applies to an existing residence, it is simply adding
Kingsford: I think what he is talking about is our hook up fee isn't it? He was not referring
to an impact fee but rather our connection fee, reserve capacity.

Morrow: I understand that, the statement was impact and I didn't understand how the
impact applied to this particular situation. And the question in terms of, you feel it is less
expensive not to be in the City?
Spangler: Well, it is not that I feel it is inexpensive to be in the City, it is cheaper for me to
go ahead and go with Ada County with the Health Department way of saying that within
the period of time before they develop the area across Pine Street and widen Pine Street,
widening Pine Street would be the time for me to put my sewer and annex all at the same
time. Because in a period of time, it is a small parcel, it is a half acre, I am Ada County I
am not City. So, when they decide to tear up Pine Street at that point in time than I can
hook into it.
Kingsford: So what you are saying is you just want an approval from us, you don't plan
to do that connection until that street is widened.
Spangler: Well, no, that is not what I am after, if you say no this is not the right time for
you to hook up than I can go to Ada County and put in a 2 bedroom 1100 square foot
home on this property, 3 bedroom they want me to hook up to City sewer. I have a 2
bedroom (inaudible) and they have got to know in a reasonable amount of time when this
hook up if I can save up money and hook up within the next 2 years I can do that or find
a reasonable price on digging cost across Pine Street.
Kingsford: I guess Fred I would ask you what do you want us to say? You want us to tell
you that you can't hook up?
Spangler: I came over and talked to Will and went and talked to Gary and then I received
a phone call from the Health Department last Thursday. He asked me, I thought you were
going to put a 3 bedroorn additional onto the existing home that you have. I am going no,
I want to put a new home on a foundation, well that changed the whole story around and
here I am up here talking to you. I am putting a 2 bedroom with a den and they are saying
now I can hook up and use my own original system until it is time for me to hook up or you
zone me into the City of Meridian and hook up at that time.
Morrow: Let me see if I understand there is no house on this site at present time?
Spangler: There is a single wide mobile.
Morrow: A single wide mobile home that has a septic system and what you are wishing
to do is to take that single wide mobile home off the lot, build a 2 bedroom house with a
den and utilize that same system.

Spangler: Right, until you annex me into the Ciry of Meridian and then at that point in time
hook up to fhe City sewer. That is my fhinking.
Morrow; So what you are basically wanting us to tell you and Ada County is that no we
won't provide the service or allow you to hook up to our line so that Ada County Health
Department will allow you to build the thing and hook it to fhe septic system.
Spangler: That is correct.
Kingsford: So you want us to turn you down?
Spangler: Yes
Kingsford: We can do that, that puts us back on balance, we like to approve a certain
number and deny a certain number.
Spangler: Well until you annex me into the City of Meridian, when you annex me into the
City of Meridian then I wi11 hook up to city sewer.
Kingsford: We would like to do that.
Spangler: (Inaudible) within like a year because they have to be notified of that a year to
2 that you are going to annex me to the City of Meridian and at that certain time then I can
go ahead and run my line as I am digging my foundation to the edge of my property to the
edge of Pine Street than all I have to do is go (inaudible).
Kingsford: You are virtually an enclave out there now, we would like to kind of clean up
some of those.
Spangler: I am a red fight district in a subdivision.
Kingsford: Don't say that this is a public meeting. I would entertain a motion to turn him
down.
Morrow: So moved

ITEM #16: US BANK: REQUEST EXTENSION ON TEMPORARY OFFICE AT 132 E.
FAI RVI EW:
Kingsford: Would you come forward and make your plea. State your name for the record
if you would.
Timsley: My name is Ralph Timsley, and I am a construction project manager for US
Bancorp the parent company for US Bank. I am requesting from the Mayor and members
of the Council that we are granted an extension for the use of our temporary double wide
manufactured unit presently sitting at 132 Fairview Avenue. We are in the process of
planning a new facility basically directly behind that same unit. And we have run into
some unforeseen delays and would like to extend that permit if we could to August 15th
to allow us ample time to get our other new unit constructed and remove the temporary
one and do the site work necessary.
Kingsford: Your current plan ttien does not call for purchase or utilization of the Seat
Cover shop.
Timsley: No, that is now history from what I understand.
Kingsford: I guess I would just caution you that this is the second extension and we have
been hearing about it from a number of people. We are not going to look very favorably
on yet another extension. We would like to see a building up and operating by August
15th. ~
Corrie: What do you mean in process, where are you? Do you have the land?
Timsley: We own the land, we own the property, we now have just as of today our
architect Mr. Patrick McKeegan has delivered sets of drawings to the city for the plan
review process permit process if you will for fhe site plan site work. And the manufactured
building that we are in process of trying to get into production if you will.
•
Meridian City Council

Page 39
Corrie: Manufactured building?
•
Timsley: Yes, it is a triple wide type manufactured home that, not home but commercial
building if you will that would go behind our present facility.
Morrow: Mr. Mayor, quite candidly, did we not have a set of plans for this project that
basically were destroyed after being in the building department for a one year anniversary
and it was not as I recall a modular type of construction.
Kingsford: That is correct, that is when they were looking at using the Seat Cover Factory
and so forth. They have not purchased that. What their request is now goes back to
basically square one when they were going to build a building in baek of where the current
mobile home is. New though is the request for modular construction.
Morrow: So now is that going to go baek through fhe hearing process?
Kingsford: I am not sure what is necessary.
Crookston: I am sorry I am not up to speed on this at all.
Kingsford: I guess Mr. Morrow what I would perceive if that building, they have their
zoning, they are zoned properly, if that building meets our building codes and standards
I would assume that it wouldn't have to go back through the hearing process.
Crookston: Not if it is zoned for that use.
Kingsford: It is zoned for a bank.
(Inaudible)
Morrow: My question is did they go through a hearing process that there was a
pr.esentation for the one building to get to this point? Has there been any hearings?
Kingsford: The hearing did not request Walt a specific building only that a building would
be built. And where it would located initially was in back of where that current facility is.
Then they opted to buy the Seat Cover Factory and I think they were going to incorporate
part of that building into their bank. That didn't progress parfially because of contaminated
ground. And now their request is what you see in front of you there. We just got those
plans this afternoon ancl Will shot just a reduced copy of that for you this evening of that
modular building that would go back on the same site that originally they discussed.
.
Meridian City Council

McKeegan: I am the architect on this particular project. It is my understanding that the
building is an allowed use on the zone and the original requirement for an design review
or approval of the building that is to be constructed it is just for the information of the
Council. The modular unit is going to be set in the ground on a foundation it is not going
to be above ground like the temporary branch. For all intensive purposes it will appear to
be as if it was constructed structure on the site. It is going to be in the same location that
was originally proposed when we asked for approval of the temporary branch the first time
around. The traffic flow, patterns and everything are fhe same. Again it is my
understanding there are no further hearings or any hearings required for approval of a
project fhat is an allowed use in an allowed zone. We are meeting all the set back
requirements, we exceeding landscape requirements, we are exceeding the parking
requirements and the building meets the design standards and the construction standards.
Kingsford: I don't think we have seen yet plans for actual construction have we? The
plans that you dropped off didn't really. .
McKeegan: That is correct, that is one of fhe difficulties we are having is the contractor
for the construction of that has yet to sign a contract with the bank on that unit. We are
meeting tomorrow with the general contractor who is going to take over that responsibility
and we will
Kingsford: Our building department has not seen plans for that building am I right?
McKeegan: They have not seen plans or the engineer drawings for this foundation.
Kingsford: Certainly, those will have to be approved and reviewed by the Building
Department.
McKeegan: Yes, by the Building Department for a building permit process.
Morrow: Let me see if I understand these plans that are going to be submitted to us are
going to coming from fleefinrood or somebody that manufactures modular types of things.
McKeegan: Yes and they will be approved by the Idaho State under their jurisdiction for
modular buildings. It is going to be a commercial building, it is going to have a(inaudible)
exterior, we are going to be putting a vestibule on the front that is similar, uses the same
architectural elements that are present in the other US Banks with the (inaudible) and that
sort of unit. But it is going to be placed on a foundation in the ground.
Morrow: So to make a snide remark on my part, the other cities get custom built banks
and we get mobiles.

McKeegans: I can't speak to the banks philosophy on why. You also know, you read in
the paper the bank has been downsizing, letting employees go and there are reasons for
it. We are just trying to get something that is a little bit more, that is permanent rather than
the trailer that is there because we made the commitment fhat was going to be temporary
branch.
Kingsford: Other questions?
Corrie: Mr. Mayor, what is the size of this going to be, do you have any idea how big it is
going to be?
McKeegan: 60 by 38 feet approximately 2000 square feet.
Corrie: I am kind of like Walt, a little uncomfortable here for some reason I don't know why.
Morrow: Wetl, quite candidly (inaudible) because I certainly wouldn't vote for this particular
presentation. In essence all you are really doing is changing a temporary structure that
currently exists there for a bigger structure that is going to be put on a foundation, certainly
it is not going to have the aesthetic appeal that the other branches of this particular bank
that you represent have. The ones that I have seen and I am thinking in terms of the ones
on Fairview and I believe Cloverdale and Emerald and Milwaukee, those are all pretty
classy offices. Quite candidly in the back of my mind when we are talking about putting
something here in Meridian i visualize this same kind of thing. It is one of those deals that
it is basically a loophole that you guys are going through and not something that I am
comfortable with but it appears that there is nothing we can do about it. It is definitely not
going to be an asset to the community in terms of architectural appeal. Those are my
comments.
Kingsford: Other comments of the Council?
McKeegan: I am sorry you feel that way Mr. Morrow but there are certain budgetary
constraints that the bank has to operate under. Architecturally we have worked with the
manufacturer to try and make it look something more than just a mobile home. Like I said
we are exceeding the landscape standards, we are working with the electrical company
to make sure that we just don't have a meter on a post, we want to do some architectural
things there.
Kingsford: Any other questions or comments of the Council? What is your pleasure wifh
regard to the extension?
Yerrington: I will make the motion that we extend this to August 15th of this year and no

the claim made by the City that your sewer, water and trash bill is delinquent. You may

Kingsford: Mr. Smifh
Smith: Mr. Mayor and Council rnembers the first item I have is I need your approval on a
task order for some engineering work that needs to be done through the sewer
department. We need to prepare some bid documents for cleaning and televising some
of our gravity lines. I have a proposal from Aarons and Mason Engineering who has done
some engineering for us at the waste water plant and some other sewer work for $5,476.
Their services that they would provide would be a standard document for bidding and
contracting sewer line cleaning and video taping. They research hardware and software
for logging and processing video tape data.. That would be for inventory of our gravity
sewer lines, selected gravity sewer Iines.
Morrow: Mr. Mayor, I would move that we approve the contract to Aarons and Mason in
the amount of $5476 (End of Tape) and thaf we authorize the Mayor to sign and the City
C1erk to attest.

MOTIDN CARRIED: All Yea
Smith: On March 3rd we had a bid opening for installation of a new 3 million BTU boiler
at the waste water plant and rehab project for the digester cover on the number 1 digester.
I will pass out the results of that bid opening. We had 2 bidders submit a bid and Drake
Plumbing from Boise was the low bidder at $164,112 there is a considerable amount of
~ •
Meridian City Council

Page 44
pipe work involved in this as well as 2 new heat exchangers around the mixer tubes on the
exterior of the digester. The installation of the boiler which we previously have purchased,
the removal of the existing boiler of course and there was some modifications to the
control system for our waste gas burner.
Kingsford: Gary, I am kind of a novice at that particular endeavor, but didn't we at one
time look at creation of a storage system for that methane gas that would allow us to heat
the digester that we wouldn't have to hook to natural gas or have LP gas there?
Smith: We looked at it, I think Earl Ward did some investigation into that. I don't recall
what he found was going to be necessary aside from quite a large tank to store the
methane gas. The one problem with the methane gas is fhat it is dirty, there is a lot of
residue from it.
Kingsford: Your going to burn it anyway you have the same problem don't' you, or are you
talking about contaminating in the digester when you burn it.
Smith: Right, the boiler itself takes a beating in burning the gas and the natural gas and
of course we looked at that because natural gas was such a long ways away. But with the
development of candlelight subdivision at Ustick and Ten Mile Road natural gas was pretty
close. The natural gas line we did contract with the gas company to have that gas line
extended to the plant so it is existing at fhe boundary of the fence right now.
Tolsma: (Inaudible)
Smith: Well, I don't know about the stainless steel tank, I know we had problems with the
stack coming off of fhe boiler even stainless steel tank it was very corrosive to fhat.
Morrow: John Shawcroft and I have discussed this issue and I don't remember exactly the
particulars but there were several reasons. If you would like I would be more than happy
to get those (inaudible) we can't use the methane (inaudible) cost effective to do it this
way.
Tolsma: (Inaudible) large enough (inaudible)
Kingsford: I think and of course again I am ignorant to that enterprise but it seems that I
have read that methane gas can burn clean. tf we have and goodness knows we have
Iarge amounts, there doesn't seem to be an end to it, if we can use that it seems
reasonable to (inaudible). I wouldn't suggest that if it costs us more money that we spend
fhe taxpayers money to use it at their expense.

Corrie: Gary, you have to have some way of compressing that down into a tank, there is
going to be expense there. Just because you have methane gas doesn't mean it is going
fo get into that tank itself. So you have to have a compressor to compress it down
(inaudible) I agree. ~
Smith: I don't recall the exact cost thaf they ran out but it seems like (inaudible) pressure
vessel and it was a 50,000 or 60,000 gallon tank that was necessary, but I don't recall it
has been too long ago.
Kingsford: The volume of natural gas that we use then based on what we pay for propane
isn't going to be a big amount of money. I guess I am really kind of talking about peanuts.
Smith: We are going from a 1 million BTU to a 3 million BTU boiler so there is going to be
considerable increase in the fuel.
Kingsford: I am sorry I brought it up, but I would be interested Walt in your suggestion.
I have been discussing this with 2 plant supervisors out there for a number of years. If it
is a product that we have and can utilize I would like to see us utilize it. If it isn't cost
effective to utilize than I certainly, the great economist that I am, let's not.
Morrow: I will get that information to you.
Kingsford: Is there a motion to approve the low bid for Drake Plumbing?
Morrow: Mr. Mayor I would move that we award the bid for the boiler installation and the
digester rehab in the amount of $164,112 to Drake Plumbing and that we further authorize
the Mayor to sign and the City Clerk to attest those bid documents.

Smith: No, this is a drawing of just the Ashford Greens subdivision. The dark blue double,
it is a Iong line and then 2 dash lines indicates the boundaries of the original deed that Jim
and Lois Fuller deeded to the City of Meridian for the golf course. The green line that I
have shown close by that heavy blue line is the amended or the revised boundary of the
golf course property that would be necessary to conform to this subdivision plat. I have
gone through the description that was provided to me from John Fitzgerald who is the
attorney for Fullers and also I have read through the revised description of the golf course
holes as provided to us by the developer. They are in fact the lines that I have shown on
this plan. Mayor Kingsford was yery interested to make sure that the golf course holes that
we are getting from the Brighton Group was similar to what was previously deeded to us.
I think that in most respects they are. I find one Iittle glitch in that legal description but it
is not a serious thing. One of the things I guess that is going to happen is that there will
be quit elaim deeds wrifiten, some kind correction deed written such that fhe original
deeded golf course whole boundary will be revised to reflect what is shown in green on
this drawing. I guess what Mayor Kingsford and I would request from the Council is your
apprbval to give him authorization to sign those correction deeds along with our City
C.lerks attesting.
Kingsford: One further comment the original deed included actual what will be Ada County
Highway District, so those would be transferred up. What we ended up with is something
in the neighborhood of a net additional 1.32 acres if inemory serves me. Some each way
and we end up with one point something acres.

Kingsford: Counselor?
Crookston: Yes, in the process of doing the sewer along the Five Mil~ Drain it was initially
started by St. Luke's and with the involvement of the City. And now it is the City taking it
over. St. Luke's had been working on a license agreement with Nampa Meridian Irrigation
District for them to allow crossings of the Five Mile Drain I believe at 3 sites. St. Luke's
had a license agreement agreed to with Nampa Meridian, now that the City is taking it over
I think that it is appropriate that licensing agreement be in the name of the City. The initial
agreement was that it would, when St. Luke's was doing it, that would be transferred to the
City when the construction was completed. Since the City is doing it I think it is
appropriate that the licensing agreement be in the name of the City. There are some
things that I think still need to be worked out. I have discussed it with the Nampa Meridian
attorney, he needs to have the City sign the document and have it delivered back to him
by the 16th of March. Those changes haven't been changed yet, I would like to have the
Council approve of the Mayor and City Clerk in signing the licensing agreement, if it is
approved by Gary Smith and myself so that we can get that back to Nampa Meridian's
attorney so they can act on it at their meeting on the 21 st.
Kingsford: Questions?

Crookston: Let me bring you a little more up to date on the Magistrate's court. I had a
discussion today with Jack Britton who is the Garden City attorney, he told me that he had
had a discussion wifh Judge Newhouse who I believe is the new Administrative Judge
since Judge Schroeder is now on the Supreme Court. His discussion with Judge
Newhouse was go ahead and plan on having it. He basically said plan on having it or
work a deal witfi Boise.
Kingsford: Well, he might ought to be advised that the Bill passed by the legislature says
we have 3% to deal with. Is there anyway we can build a new building and increase our
budget 3%?
Crookston: I don't disagree with that whatsoever. That is just bringing you up fio speed
on what happened.
Kingsford: Wayne, since that is a, it is in code, what, if we ignore it we are not in contempt
because it is an administrative ruling am I right. They couldn't levy a fine I guess is what
I am getting at.
Crookston: Grant that is something that has been a gray area in this whole thing since the
City received the inifial order signed by all the judges. It was instituted under a statutory
provision, not a court provision, not a court rule, but a statutory provision that allows the
district judges to direct that magistrate court facilities be built and supplied by a city within
the judicial district. I think that it is an administrative order, I have not, and Mr. Britton and
I have discussed it. But since it is signed by the judges I truly believe that it is an
administrative order. So, I don't think that there are judicial penalties.
Kingsford: I don't' understand where Newhouse gets off saying we have to strike a deal
wi,th Boise, it is not Boise's obligation to furnish court facilities either.
Crookston: That is right, that was his statement to Mr. Britton.
Kingsford: I suggest to the Council, Wayne if you would get me that code number, let's
everyone of us make a call to Mr. Bivens, Mr. Bunderson and Mr. Erhart and see if we
can't get that particular part of code repealed. It is absurd.
Tolsma: (Inaudible)

they are winding down this session. The last I heard we were probably going to be able

Crookston: That is what we, #he information that I had received from, well not from Trailer
but from Bill Schwartz who had a discussion with Bill Narry who is a Boise City Attorney.
Mr. Trailer was backing off on it. This is the most up to date that I have.
Morrow: (Inaudible) 2 weeks window or there about.
Kingsford: Well, less that that they want to have all of their stuff submitted by the 10th.
Let's get on that tomorrow in the morning and I will get after fhem in the afternoon. The
other thing I will get after is Mr. Coles with regard to maybe withdrawing that request for
Amanda Horton. I have chewed him out 3 or 4 times about that, I' think maybe we can get
a retraction on that request of the court too, not that it will do any good at this juncture.
Crookston: It is in the court's hands now. It wouldn't hurt if they approached the judges
and, the initial request was from Amanda Horton and Greg Bower so it wouldn't hurt if we
had at least one of thern back off. I don't know how the Sheriff's department, the impact
on them is going to be significant in transporting inmates to Meridian and to Garden City.
Kingsford: That would be my bet that it becomes significant on Meridian, I wouldn't be
surprised if Bill will be asked to go over and collect and fetch them over here and return
them.
Crookston: That is not his job that is the Sheriff s job.
ICngsford: It is not our job to provide court space eiiher, but it is coming down that way.
Thank you for that insight, you really made my evening. Anything else?
Morrow: A reminder fhat tomorrow night here at this facility at 7 P.M. the Ada County
Highway District are holding their regular meeting. Everybody that is on this dias should
attend, ask them any questions you wish to ask in terms of there will be a presentation
about our projects in the five year plan what is coming up. They will be opened to
questions that you may have about anything that is going on in the district with regard to

and also the presentation on what the change was. I will not go into it now due to the time
but as soon as I get back from Colorado I will be happy to sit down with anybody or with
Skip but it is a very minor change but it is a change for the good of the City. So I will get
with you on that.
Kingsford: Mr. Tolsma?
Tolsma: Yes, I need an approval for Tully Park, we got some free fill dirt from the food
outfit out there. If we haul it, we are putting it at Tully Park, we need approximately 4,000+
for top soil and fill out there. The problem is it has to be moved within 30 days and the
second problem is finding anybody to move it within 30 days. I located some trucks, I told
them to commence moving the dirt. We have about 800 to 1000 yards moved already.
If we had to bid this project the project would be null and void because there would be no
dirt and no trucks to haul it. We would be on the time frame that we have to get it moved.
So I took it upon myself to hire fhe trucks and get them commencing. Now I just need
CounciPs approval.
Morrow: At what cost?
Tolsma: We have about 4000+ yards which were donated to us. We are going to get it
moved between $3 and $3.50 a yard. So it will be between $12,000 and $14,000.
Morrow: Not to second guess you Ron, but given the distance the stuff is being moved
and what we are currently competitively paying is we are paying befinreen $2 and $3 a yard
moving dirt from our job sites to places a competitive distance.
Tolsma: I had 4 trucking firms that I called and I got one trucking firm to even say they
would even consider moving it within 30 days. The rest of them said they weren't even
interested bidding on.
Morrow: Are these small trucks?
Tolsma: No, fhese are end dumps.
Morrow: So they haul 20 yards a load?
Tolsma: No, with the State police out there on their routes they are hauling about 15 yards
a load. If the State police weren't out there it would' be all of 20 to 25 a load.
Corrie: Where is this coming from?

Tolsma: It is coming from Eagle Road, just
Corrie: Money?
Tolsma: The park budget.
Corrie: It sounds to me like it has been done.
Kingsford: I noticed signs drawn at D& B for free fill, top soil, have you checked, do you
know what the time constraints are on that?
Tolsma: No~ I don't, I know that these people got a hold of Shari and talked to her.
(lnaudible)
Kingsford: Recommendation Cownselor?
Crookston: Is there an emergenay on this Ron?
Kingsford: The emergency is that the dirt won't exist if we were to take time to bid it. It
was discussed at our meeting a week ago.
Crookston: I think there has to be a declaration and a finding of the emergency so you can.
not have to comply with the bid law.
Morrow: The total amount is outside of the bid law.
Yerrington: (Inaudible)
Kingsford: I think your only remedy is to declare an emergency.
Tolsma: How long does that put us out? Right now (inaudible) otherwise there is going
to be no dirt an there won't be any emergency.
Crookston: You have to make, in order to not have to comply with the competitive bid laws
you have to make a finding fhat there is an emergency.
Tolsma: If I have to move $9990 worth we could just bag it.
Crookston: I think that the $10,000 limitation is on equipment.
Kingsford: I think you are talking $5000 for labor
u
Meridian City Council

Crookston: $5000 for labor and services.
LJ
Tolsma: Shall I have them stop moving it them and bag it and pay somebody $8 or $9 a
yard later.
Kingsford: I think our alternatives are either to do that or for this Council to declare an
emergency. I think that is your 2 choices.
Morrow: What kind of time frame does it take to declare an emergency, does that start
tonight and finish next week.
Kingsford: Start tonight and finish tonight. This Council could declare an emergency
tonight and go ahead with fhat program.
Crookston: I think that you should lay out some information as to support the finding.
Tolsma: All the inforrnation was that they wanted the dirt moved within 30 days and that
was a week or so ago. The trucks that I contacted to haul it, there are 5 of them that were
supposed to start another job today and then we were going to be out of trucks anyway.
Because I can't find anyone else that is not busy right now to haul the stuff. The, I guess
that might be grounds fo~ emergency. If we don'Y move it within the next week or 2 it is
not going to be there to move anyway. Then we won't need an emergency because we
won't have nothing there to move.
Crookston: Is there dirt in other places?
Tolsma: (Inaudible) We have to get it moved so it can be compacted. If we want to start
our sprinkler system and our grading system later we have to have the dirt out there before
they can start their grading system. And stake the ground out there to start moving the di~t
with the land scraper and stuff (inaudible). But our pathway project (inaudible).
Crookston: Is there dirt elsewhere that is obtainable?
Kingsford: I don't know that there is, but my suggestion would be if the Council were to
declare an emergency that they prior to exercising that emergericy check with D& B to see
the number of yards fhey have and what the time frame is on moving that. That is a 1/4
mile closer and maybe there is not that 30 day requirement.
Crookston: That would be fine, whatever you can do to show the emergency.
Kingsford: I was thinking Avest might very well be willing to dump it out there for us but
• •

they need their stack but we may get some there too. I think we need to, if it is your desire
to think about going ahead with that, you need to this evening declare an emergency or
otherwise we have to cease and assist on that thought.
Morrow: What is the commitment you have in terms of price, the absolute commitment?
Tolsma: Befinreen $3 and $3.50 a yard.
Morrow: Is it either or, what are they committed to? How much are they going to charge
us? Are they saying somewhere between $3 and $3.50 or is it $3 or $3.50?
Tolsma: (Inaudible) for sure that he could get the other trucks to do it.
Morrow: Well, I think that if we are going to declare an emergency and we are going to do
this than we certainly ought to set the price and I would agree to the price of $3 a yard or
the deal is over with. That would be my thought in terms of if we are going to go ahead and
do the emergency thing.
Kingsford: How many yards are you talking about there Ron?
Tolsma: 4000+ between $12,000 at $3.00 a yard or $14,000 at $3.50 a yard.
Kingsford: Well that $.50 that you are talking about there is $2000. We need some hard
cost definitely.
Corrie: Do we have enough facts to do it now according to your expert opinion?
(Discussion Inaudible)
Morrow: Usually it is more expensive the smaller the truck (inaudible) because of the
number of yards they can move per move. Distances are about the same comparable
(inaudible) in that price range. I would be willing to go with $3 a yard, using end dumps
you are basically almost a 1l3 more than what you are with tandem axles. Given the
nature of the soils being wet and so on and so forth with respect to weight.
Tolsma: We can declare an emergency at $3 a yard and I will tell them tomorrow if they
want to work for that fine, if they don't well we stop. Then we can find somebody else to
haul it.
Morrow: My mayor concem here is anytime you have an open ended anything is as we are
learning the hard way you are going to get burned. (Inaudible) and burned badly. So I

don't want to see in terms of that taxpayer dollar l don't want to see us with open ended
stuff. I am sensitive to the emergency, it would be nice to have the dirt but I think we have
to Iimit some where as to what we are willing or capable to pay. You are talking about
spending here $14,000 almost 10°/a of your budget for free dirt. I don't have a clue as to
what the rest of the budget is in terms of what it is going to take to get her done.
Tolsma: Well (inaudible) I think we are quite a way (inaudible).
Morrow: I can't tell you that there are any

Kingsford: Could we have a motion to declare an emergency proviso that we can't get
other free dirt that have a longer period that we might be able to bid.
Crookston: That would help.
Morrow: I don't have a problem with that as long as the motion includes that and caps it
to $3.
Kingsford: Okay, let's have something to that effect.
Morrow: So moved
Yerrington: Second
Kingsford: Moved by Walt, second by Max to approve of the declaration of emergency
conditioned upon that there not being other available free dirt that we could use in a time
frame to bid and that it is capped not greater than $3 a yard and that our finding is not
having, pardon me to bid the removal of that dirt would constitute no access to it, all those
in favor? Opposed?
MOT14N CARRIED: All Yea
Kingsford: Look at that D& B first thing in the morning Ron. You might visit with Walt a
little bit and see if there might be other truckers that you need to be aware of in terms of
price too. Anything else Ron?
Tolsma: No, that is it.
Kingsford: Two things as I addressed to you at the work session last Tuesday due to the
• •

contract that we have been trying to do with regard to the Five Mile Sewer construction.
I would like to ask the Council to change, to transfer line items from the Enterprise budget
from the funded depreciation to construction account in the amount from each of the water
and sewer to handle construction of those enterprises for extensions to Eagle Road. The
dollar amount is a little in the air and I am sensifive to your open ended because it needs
to include Walt the engineering eost which we don't have all of yet. It doesn't include the
cost of the licensing agreements, all of the work that we are going to have to do in terms
of change orders. We are looking at having to maybe to work within a 20 foot easement
on one property instead of construction easements, some of those sorts of things. You
saw the bids as they come in both to Masco. Gary do you have those, $178,000 for water
and $619,000 on the sewer and there wilf be additional of course because of the cost of
the engineering which we haven't absorbed at all yet.
Morrow: So we are transferring approximately a couple hundred thousand on the water
and $700,000 on sewer.
Kingsford: That would be about correct then.
Morrow: That is fine, I would so move.
Corrie: Second
Kingsford: Moved by Walt, second by Bob to transfer from the enterprise funded
depreciation accounts water and sewer the amounts to deal with the extension to St.
Luke's water and sewer from their respective funds roughly in the amount of $200,000 and
$700,000 for water and sewer respectively, all those in favor'? Opposed?
MOTION CARRIED: All Yea
Kingsford: You guys in yowr packet had a letter that I had asked Will to copy from Brent
Coles and a resolution and then a memorandum of understanding that was presented by
Dick Winder over in Cafdwell. I am not going to necessarily ask you to deal with that
tonight but for you to (inaudible) and see if that is something you are willing to proceed
with. The effort is particularly by Boise and our neighbors to look at and of course we
have been dealing with that Walt and I have had hours and hours of discussion along
those lines for transportation long term. I think that basically is what they are addressing
fhere. The City of Boise has sent one person part-time who is nearly full-time now who
is Thompson to deal with transportation issues. So I would like for you to look at those
and maybe be willing to make a move on that sort of a thing for the next meeting. Mr.
Berg?

COUNCIL PRO TEM Mt~ WETHERELL
As Mayor Coles was departing for the U.S. Conference of Mayors
winter session in Washington, he asked me to provide each of you a
status report on the forthcoming study on "Treasure Valley
Transportation Alternatives". For your ready reference, I have
enclosed a copy of Mayor Coles' letter of November 25, 1994, to
each Ada County Mayor.
First, who's on board so far? We have Nampa, Caldwell, Ada County,
ACHD, Boise Area Chamber of Commerce and, of course, ITD, APA and
Boise. I've been in touch with the Canyon Highway District; Ralph
Little has expressed interest in joining in. The Nampa Highway
District is also interested, it appears. We are hopeful that
Canyon County will soon join in.
Second, what about funding? We have now secured enough funding for
APA to launch at least Phase I of the study. Erv Olen is drafting
the Request for Qualifications. Alice Reyes (Canyon.County Head
Start) and her Board agreed to provide $100K in CMAQ planning funds
allocated earlier to Treasure Valley Transit. We much appreciate
her sharing the federal planning funds for this important endeavor.
Third, the status of "high tech" support (ie, Cybertran)? John
Denson, President of Lockheed Idaho Technologies Company at INEL,
has committed his '~cautious support" to the study. His letter to
Mayor Coles observed that "we can provide detailed information to
help evaluate other alternatives and help guide you with a systems
engineering approach that will identify all aspects of the problem
and thoroughly evaluate all potential solutions'~. This will be
very useful in ensuring objectivity in our study.
It would be helpful if your city would formally associate itself
with this study effort that will have far-reaching consequences for
transportation in the Treasure Valley. For your information, I
have attached a copy of Caldwell's resolution and Memorandum of
Understanding by which they joined in the study.

so].ution for congestion problems; and
WHEREA,S, Federal mandates and sta~e and lvcal plans encourage
maximurn usage and coordination of intermodal means for
~rans.portation, including public transportation services, for
deve].opment of alternatives to automobi.le use; and

to transportation, and is experienced in the application of systems
analysis to complex problems; and
W~iERF..~S, These diverse capabili~ies a~~d technologies provide
a zesource fzom which an alternate concept for public transit may
be developed to potentially offer a cos~ effective and eEficien~

On NQVember 22, 1994, I provided you and other interested
organizations a brief synopsis of our November 16, 1994 meeting
concerning "Treasure Valley Transportation Alternatives".
indicated in that letter that I would follow u with I
the next steps in this important endeavor. A similar Cl tter lis
beinq sent to the addresses indicated below.
As we all know, broad-based support in Ada and Canyon Counties will
be essential if we are to move this project along successfully. We
certainly do not want to wait antil growth and the impact of that
growth overwhelm us. Prudent planning and decisive action, when
the various alternatives have been thoroughly analyzed, will help
ensure the high quality of life to which our communities aspire.
I would like to encourage you to demonstrate your support of the
broad-based study of transportation alternatives in the Treasure
Valley by associating your city with the attached Memorandum of
Understanding consummated by and between the City of Boise, the
Idaho Transportation Department and the U.S. Department of Energy.
I am acivised that your support could be in the form of a Resolution
of Agreement. Please note that you need make no financial
commitment at this time by agreeing with this MOU.
As far as funding for the broad study of alternatives is concerned,
we hope to make use of certain planning funds that could be made
available through the coordinating activities of ITD. To stimulate
and encourage INEL's support in the area of technolo
Cy_berTran) , I plan to propose to the Boise City Councilc th ttwe
enter into a modest contract with INEL (or DOE at INEL) in the
amount of $25,000. These funds would come from a reshuffling or
planning funds currently on hand and $5,000 in new funds from the
general revenue account.

What I would like you to consider, now or in the next few months,
beyond associating your city with the MOU as requested above, is a
statement of support for the INEL technology portion of the study
by allocating a modest amount of funds to go with Boise's $25,000.
I believe that a tangible commitment on our part across the
Treasure Valley will pay dividends in the long run.
We will be setting up a small steering committee to oversee the
study and ensure t}iat it moves forward expeditiously. The steering
committee will incTude representatives from Nampa, Caldwell, Ada
and Canyon Counties, ITD, ACIiD, APA, INEL, the Boise Area and
(possibly) the Nampa Chambers of Commerce and Boise City. Once
formed, the committee will be charged to keep each of you informed
of the status of the study and to seek your advice and counsel as
the study progresses.
Should you desire further discussion of these matters, Clair Bowman
of the Ada Planning Association and Jim Thompson of my office are
available to meet with you at your convenience. Please call my
office to set np an appointment (208-384-4422) if you would like
them to meet with you.
I look forward to your response as soon as you are able to do so.
Very truly your

of those requirements and a review of the facts presented and
conditions of the area, the Planning and Zoning Commission

under the new zoning as the Applicant stated at the public
hearing what his improvements were going to consist of and

area which dictate that the area requested to be rezoned to LO
(limited Officej should be so rezoned. These changes have

~
been the rezone of land for commercial operation and the
placement and construction of the U. S. Post Office.
( e) That the property is designed so as to be harmonious with
the surrounding area since the building was there prior to
most of the surrounding buildings and houses.
(f) The L-O zone and its permitted uses would not be
hazardous to the existing or~future uses of the neighborhood
and should not be disturbing to the property owners in the
adjacent residential areas.
(g) The property would be able to be adequately served with
public facilities.
(h) The L-O uses and development would not create excessive
additional requirements at public cost for public facilities
and services and would not be detrimental to the economic
welfare of the community.

detrimental to the existing residential area or the general
welfare of the area.
(j) Development of the limited office should not cause an
increase in vehicular traffic over and above what the traffic
increase would be if developed as R-15.

importance.
(1) The proposed zoning amendment to rezone the land to
Limited Office is in the best interest of City of Meridian.

Subdivision and Development Ordinance requires piping of ditches,
canals and waterways and that ordinance shall be complied with as
a condition of development of the limited office.

~ BEFORE THE MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL
i APPLICATION OF SKYLINE DEVELOPMENT
; FOR A VARIANCE FROM 11-9-605 M TILING OF DITCHES
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS
i The above entitled variance request having come on for
; consideration on December 20, 1994, and was continued for several
~ meetings for additional information and the last Council meeting
was on February 21, 1995, at approximately 7:30 o'clock p.m. on
i
said date, at the Meridian City Hall, 33 East Idaho Street,
Meridian, Idaho, the Applicant appeared through Tucker Johnson, and
~
; the City Council having heard and taken oral and written testimony,
the City Council of the City of Meridian makes the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
~ 1. That notice of the public hearing on the variance was
~
i published for two consecutive weeks prior to the scheduled hearing
for February 21, 1995, the first publication of which was fifteen
' (15) days prior to said hearing; that the matter was duly
I
~ considered at the February 21, 1995, hearing; that copies of all
' notices were available to newspaper, radio and television stations.
2. That notice of public hearing is required to be sent to
~~ property owners within 300 feet of the external boundaries of the
; land being considered pursuant to 11-2-416 E. , 11-2-419 D. , and 11-
i
9-612 B. 1. b. of the Revised and Compiled Ordinances of the City
~ of Meridian; that his requirement has been met.
~
, 3. That Ordinance 11-9-605 M., PIPING OF DITCHES, requires
~ all irrigation ditches, laterals or canals, exclusive of natural
~
~ FINDINGS OF FACT & CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - Page 1
~
•
waterways, intersecting, crossing or lying adjacent and contiguous,
or which canals, ditches or laterals touch either or both sides of
the area being subdivided, shall be covered and enclosed with
I tiling or other covering equivalent in ability to restrain access
! to said ditch, lateral or canal; that the Findings of Fact and
Conclusions of Law, adopted by the City on the Annexation
Application approval, stated in the Conclusions and in the Decision
i that the Applicant and owners were specifically required to tile
' all ditches, canals and waterways as a condition of annexation;
~
that when the lar~d was annexed by the City of Meridian, the
Annexation Ordinance stated in Section 2. e., that the development
~~
~
of annexed land must meet and comply with the Ordinances of the
City of Meridian and in particular Section 11-9-605 M.
4. That the Applicant has requested that he be granted a
variance from the above ditch piping requirements and be allowed
not to pipe the Kennedy Lateral but to fence the lateral; that in
the Application the Applicant states that the Kennedy Lateral would
require at least a 54 inch CMP pipe; that the cost of tiling such
a large irrigation lateral would be enormous and cost prohibitive;
that in the Application it is stated that the cost would approach
*0.00 per foot, that the property line of this application is the
centerline of the lateral, that the adjacent property owner does
not want the ditch tiled, that when the Applicant started the first
~ phase of the subdivision, tiling of laterals was not an issue and
j
that had tiling been a strict requirement or if it becomes such
~I
properties adjacent to larger waterways would experience a
FINDINGS OF FACT & CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - Page 2
• .
depreciation in value; and states that fending large waterways
instead of tiling them has been allowed in other parts of Meridian.
5. The Applicant submitted a report from Keith Jacobs, P.E.,
attached to the Application, which stated the pipe should be a 54
inch diameter concrete pipe; this.size pipe is adequate to pass the
calculated flows and could pass additional urban storm runoff that
may be added with or without Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District's
knowledge. Mr. Jacobs report states that Nampa & Meridian
Irrigation District had stated that the spring-time flow of the
ditch was 50 CFS; the report is dated December 16, 1993, and is
incorporated herein as if set forth in full.
6. Mr. Johnson testified that the Nampa Meridian Irrigation
District will only take liability for 50 inches; that they are
willing to accept 50 cfs which would fit through 48 inch pipe; that
Civil Survey studied the drainage at his request and found that the
drainage is full at 50 cfs and that any additional flow will
increase the elevation, thus increasing the cubic feet per second
which will exceed a 48 inch pipe; he additionally testified that he
had conducted research into the construction of the Interstate,
which does not border the parcel but is near the Applicant's land
on the south, and that there is drainage from the Interstate that
goes into the Kennedy Lateral; that there was other land that
drained into the lateral also; that when the Interstate was
improved in 1976 the natural drains in the medium which drained
into the Kennedy Lateral were removed• t-hat Namr» Mo,-; a; .,..
Irrigation District puts 50 CFS into the Kennedy Lateral and that
FINDINGS OF FACT & CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - Page 3
~ . 1
is all that they are willing to take liability for; that the
federal government has a discharge agreement with Nampa & Meridian
Irrigation District; that he had Civil survey Consultants do a
study of the Interstate area and the Kennedy Lateral which
;I
~ indicated that lateral carries 50 CFS but in addition there are
I
~ water marks indicting there has been higher water, from what source
~~
~ nobody knows; that they engineered the area from the drain off that
~
would potentially come off the Interstate system and the
' surrounding hill sides and concluded that there was an additional
8 CFS above and beyond NM's flow of 50 CFS; that Mr. Johnson
therefore stated that 50 CFS will go through the pipe (48 inches)
and he stated that 50 CFS will go through the pipe but it would be
at maximum capacity; and stated that adding the potential for storm
water, there is a significant amount (water) that impacts that
ditch.
7. That Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District submitted
comments, signed by Bill Henson, Assistant Water Superintendent,
that were received by the City on December 13, 1994, which stated
as follows:
"Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District will accept only what is
agreed to in a license agreement. This district will not
accept water amenities or 4 to 1 sl`oping. If I can be of
further help concerning this variance request for The Landing
Subdivision No. 7, please feel free to contact me.
8. That the City received a subsequent letter from John P.
Anderson, Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District Water Superintendent
~I dated December 19, 1994, and he stated, in part, as follows:
"The 50 cfs figure that Bill Henson ... gave adequately
FINDINGS OF FACT & CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - Page 4

I
;
, reflects the flow needs of the Kennedy Lateral through this
~ development. I do not believe that there is any drainage
; return to the Kennedy Lateral that would cause the District
' any difficulty in operating a pipe system through this area if
~
~ this flow criteria is used in the design.
If you feel further discussion is required regarding this
matter, please feel free to contact me."
" 9. That on February 8, 1995, the City received a copy of a
~
letter from Bill Henson, Assistant Water Superintendent, which
stated, in part, as follows:
~ "Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District's engineers have
reviewed the calculations that were submitted concerning the
~ proposal for the piping of the Kennedy Lateral through The
; Landing Subdivision. The calculations that were provided to
our engineers show that there could be a possible flow of as
~ much as 64.5 cfs in the Kennedy Lateral. However, the
~ District's records indicate that there has never been any more
; than 50 cfs within this facility and the high water marks on
the drawings that were provided indicate that the flow within
; the existing facility has not been as much as 64.6 cfs.
~ Therefore, Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District will accept
~ and approve 48 inch pipe for the piping of the Kennedy Lateral
i through The Landing NO. 7 Subdivision.
Please feel free to contact me if further information is
required."
10. That on March 1, 1995, the City received a letter from
John P. Anderson, Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District Water
Superintendent dated March 1, 1995, and he stated, in part, as
follows :
"The flows for the Kennedy Lateral that were provided the
engineer were based on a year in which N& M could provide a
full one inch per acre to every delivery. A margin of
approximately 15 per cent for evaporation water was included.
These calculations were used to obtain the size of the pipe in
case that we ever have need to deliver this amount of water.
However, with the urbanization within the area, the odds of
the District ever running maximum flows are slim.
Even with the known surface run-off upstream from the Landing
No. 7 Subdivision, I do not believe that the District would
FINDINGS OF FACT & CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - Page 5
~ !
have a problem with the ditch over flowing during a rain
storm. Therefore, in order to clarify what I have written
prior to this, I believe that a 48 inch pipe is adequate and
I believe that it will work quite well. If the pipe line is
installed according to approved plans, N& M will assume
responsibility for the operation and maintenance."
11. That Meridian City Engineer, Gary Smith submitted comment
dated December 16, 1994; he stated that the engineering information
presented by the applicant's engineer shows that a 48 inch diameter
pipe can carry a springtime flow of 50 CFS as specified by the N&
M. However, there isn't any room for any additional flow that may
enter the ditch from surface runoff sources, without increasing the
water surface elevation upstream of the pipe; that N& M comments
that they will accept only what is agreed to in License Agreement
and that the existing License Agreement states in part that the
Licensee (Skyline Development Co,) will "place a 54 CMP in the
Kennedy Lateral where Kennedy Lateral crosses Waltman Lane. He
additionally states that he placed a telephone call to Bill Henson
at the irrigation district office to further discuss this ditch and
the piping thereof and that he will forward that information as
soon as it is available.
~~ 12. That Gary Fors testified and submitted a letter; he
~ testified that he did not see any need for tiling the ditch; that
~
it was six feet deep and six feet across; that if N& M want a 48
~ inch pipe why do they have such a large ditch. In his letter he
'I
~ stated that he had testified against the tiling when the
~
; subdivision was initially proposed and felt that fencing would
I provide the purpose as tiling and a fence would suffice; that if
FINDINGS OF FACT & CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - Page 6
• •~
the canal was tiled it would have a detrimental effect on him
because he would have to find an alternative way to water the trees
that he has along the ditch; that even if tiling is required that
a fence should still be put up between his property and the
Applicant's; in the letter he also stated that he did not receive
notice of the variance request.
13. That the Ordinance requiring that ditches be tiled may be
changed so that ditches which require tile of over a 48 inches may
not have to be tiled; that the Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District
has informed the City that the grates required for ditches that
require larger tile than 48 inches may be more dangerous than not
having the ditch tiled.
14. The entire property in question is described in the
variance application and is incorporated herein as if set forth in
full.
15. That the property in the area where the variance is
requested is zoned R-4 Residential District.
16. That the Application states that Edward A. and Janice M.
Johnson are the owners of the property.
17. That no other testimony was heard at the hearing.
CONCLUSIONS
1. That all the procedural requirements of the Local
Planning Act and of the Ordinances of the City of Meridian have
been met including the mailing of notice to owners of property
within 300 feet of the external boundaries of the Applicant's
property.

9. That there does appear to be a specific benefit or profit,
economic gain or convenience, to the Applicant if this variance is

10. That the requirement of tiling ditches is a health and
safety requirement; that there has been testimony and evidence in
prior applications for variances from this ordinance that it is
less safe to have ditches that require a pipe greater than 48
inches tile because of the size of grate that is required at the
entrance and exit of the pipe and the force and swiftness of
ditches that are larger than could be tiled with a 48 inch pipe.
11. That by reason of the size of this ditch, it appears that
to require tiling of this ditch would achieve the safety purpose
for which tiling is required in the Ordinance.

demanded that this ditch be tiled in this subdivision and in one
other subdivision, Elk Run.

Meridian Irrigation District retains rights to a 30' ditch easement
on each side of the south property line; that the property is
irregular and restrictive; that the City granted a similar variance
to Rod's Parkside Creek Subdivision No. 4; that the size and length
of culvert necessary to tile would impose a financial burden on the

10. That the City previously granted a variance to this
Ordinance for Rod's Parkside Creek Subdivision which is directly
south of the Albertson parcel, not to tile the Eight Mile Lateral.
11. That applicant also requests a variance to City Ordinance
11-9-605.G which requires a 20' wide planting strip next to
incompatible features such as commercial and residential properties
to screen the view from residential properties. That the
Applicant's representative testified that the proposed project
would provide more than the required 20 foot planting strip along
the westerly property line; that along the southerly property line
from Ten Mile Road to the corner of the proposed Albertson's store,

maintained if acceptable measures and safeguards to reduce
dangerous and objectionable conditions to acceptable limits as
established by the following performance requirements:
~• Noise - Objectionable noise which is due to volume,
frequency, or beat shall be muffled or otherwise
controlled. Air-raid sirens and related apparatus used

CONCLUSIONS
1. That all the procedural requirements of the Local
Planning Act and of the Ordinances of the City of Meridian have
been met including the mailing of notice to owners of property
within 300 feet of the external boundaries of the Applicant's
property.
2. That the City has authority to grant variances pursuant
to Section 11-2-419 of the Zoning Ordinance and pursuant to Section

judicial notice.
4. That the Council may take judicial notice of its own
proceedings, those of the Commission, governmental statutes,
ordinances, and policies, and of actual conditions existing within
the City and the State.
5. That the following provision of Section 11-9-605 M, of
PIPING OF DITCHES, of the Subdivision and Development Ordinance is
noted which is pertinent to the Application:
"All irrigation ditches, laterals or canals, exclusive of
FINDINGS OF FACT & CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - Page 6
• •
natural waterways, intersection, crossing or lying adjacent
and contiguous, or both sides of the area being subdivided,
shall be covered and enclosed with tiling or other covering
equivalent in ability to detour access to said ditch, lateral
or canal. The City may waive this requirement for covering
such ditch, lateral or canal, if it finds that the public
purpose requiring such will not be served in the individual
case. Any covering program involving the distribution system
of any irrigation district shall have the prior approval of
that affected district. . . ,~~
6. That the City Council has considered changing the
Ordinances regarding the piping of large ditches and has directed
that the Ordinance be changed so that if the tile required to tile
the ditch is greater than 48 inches the ditch that it need not be
tiled; that the Ordinance will be changed.
7. That the following provision of Section 11-9-605 G, of
PLANTING STRIPS, of the Subdivision and Development Ordinance are
noted which are pertinent to the Application:
That Section 11-9-605 G 1. states as follows:
"1• Planting strips shall be required to be placed next to
incompatible features such as highways, railroads,
commercial or industrial uses to screen the view from
residential properties. Such screening shall be a
minimum of twenty feet (20') wide, and shall not be a
part of the normal street right of way or utility
easement.";
$. That Section 11-9-605 H 2. states as follows:
"Existing natural features which add value to residential
development and enhance the attractiveness of the community
(such as trees, watercourses, historic spots and similar
irreplaceable amenities) shall be preserved in the design of
the subdivision;~~
9• That the specific requirements regarding a variance that
must be evidenced and found by the City Council are as follows:
"11-9-612 A. 2., FINDINGg; No variance shall be favorably
acted upon by the Council unless there is a finding, as a

result of a public hearing, that all of the following exist:
a. That there are such special circumstances or conditions
affecting the property that the strict application of the
provisions of this Ordinance would be clearly
impracticable or unreasonable; in such cases, the
subdivider shall first state his reasons in writing as
to the specific provision or requirement involved;
b. That strict compliance with the requirements of this
Ordinance would result in extraordinary hardship to the
subdivider because of unusual topography, the nature of
condition of adjacent development, other physical
conditions or other conditions that make strict
compliance with this Ordinance unreasonable under the
circumstances, or that the conditions and requirements of
this Ordinance will result in inhibiting t h e
achievement or objectives of this Ordinance.
C• That the granting of the specified variance will be
detrime`~ntal to the public welfare or injurious to other
property in the area in which the property is situated;
d. That such variance will not violate the provisions of the
Idaho code; and
e. That such variance will not have the effect of nullifying
the interest and purpose of this Ordinance and the
Comprehensive Development Plan.
10. That there does appear to be a specific benefit or
; profit, economic gain or convenience to the Applicant if the
~~ variance of the ditch tiling is granted; however, to re uire tilin
Z ~
of the ditch would cause extreme hardship to Applicant.
~
' 11. That the requirement of tiling ditches is a health and
~
safety requirement; that by reason of the size of this ditch, it
appears that to require tiling of this ditch would not achieve the
~ safety purpose for which tiling is required in the Ordinance.
12. That the irrigation district affected has not demanded
that this ditch be tiled.
~
13. That regarding Section 1I-9-612 A. 2., regarding the
~ FINDINGS OF FACT & CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - page 8
• •
variance of tiling of ditches, it is specifically concluded as
follows:
a• That there are special circumstances or conditions
! affecting the property that the strict application of
' the provisions of the ditch tiling Ordinance would
; clearly be unreasonable.
~ b. That strict compliance with the requirements of this
ditch tiling Ordinance would result in extraordinary
hardship to the Applicant.
; ~• That the granting of a variance would not be detrimental
; to the public's welfare and possible injurious to the
public.
~
d• That the variance would not have the effect of altering
the interests and purposes of the ditch tiling Ordinance
which is included in the Subdivision and Development
Ordinance for safety purposes.
;
13. That since the piping of the ditches is not going to be
i required, other safety measures must be undertaken to assist the
; health, safety, and welfare of the people of this City; that it is
; concluded that the Applicant shall fence the ditch in a fashion
~
,~ that will be in accordance with the plan submitted under the
~ provisions of the planting strip variance.
14. That in regards to the Application for a variance from
the 11-9-605 G. PI,ANTING STRIPS AND RESERVE STRIPS, it is concluded
as follows in the Conclusions below.
15. That 11-9-605 G 1, requires that planting strips be
placed next to incompatible features such as commercial uses to
screen the view from residential properties, and because the houses
will be so close to the Albertson property and the store, it makes
complete sense that a planting strip be required.
FINDINGS OF FACT & CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - Page 9
• .
16. That there is limited distance from the boundary of the
south boundary of the store property to the houses in Parkside
Creel Subdivision # 4 and there apparently will be limited distance
from the store to the south boundary; that a twenty foot planting
strip, depending on what was placed in the planting strip, would
likely not provide a sufficient land width to provide an effective
screening or buffering from the likely impacts of the store,
including light, noise, and glare, and the truck traffic going to
and from the store.
17• Applicant put forth no plan, and did not testify as to a
plan, when asked how the impact from the store on the houses, that
would be in Parkside Creek #4 Subdivision, would be mitigated.
18• That it is concluded that if the Variance were denied the
Applicant may not provide efficient and useful plants that would
provide a sufficient screen and buffer to protect the houses and
people in Parkside Creek; that it may be more practical to grant
the variance and provide for requirements that would, hopefully,
provide adequate screening and buffering.
19• That regarding Section 11-9-612 A. 2., regarding the
variance of PLANTING STRIP requirement, it is specifically
concluded as follows:
a• That there are special circumstances or conditions
affecting the property that the strict application of
the provisions of the planting strip Ordinance would
clearly be unreasonable, as to only have a twenty foot
planting strip may not be sufficient to buffer and screen
the houses to the south.
b• That strict compliance with the requirements of this
ditch tiling Ordinance would not likely result in
FINDINGS OF FACT & CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - page 10
. •
extraordinary hardship to the Applicant but it may cause
extraordinary hardship to the residents of Parkside Creek
Subdivision.
~• That the granting of a variance would not be.detrimental
to the public's welfare and possible injurious to the
public so long as the Applicant meets the requirements
placed on the granting of the variance.
d• That the variance would not have the effect of altering
the interests and purposes of the Planting Strip
Ordinance if the Applicant meets the requirements and
conditions for receiving the variance.
20. That 11-2-410 C, SITE PLANNING REVIEW, states in part as
follows:
"In addition to any other requirements contained in this
Zoning Ordinance or in the Subdivision Ordinance, the City in
its discretion may require, as a condition of approval, that
any use, development or construction have the plans, design,
plat, specifications, drawings, actual construction,
landscaping, etc., reviewed and approved by the City.~~
21• It is further concluded that there should not be a total
variance of the 11-9-605 G, but a variance that allows the
Applicant to not meet the full twenty feet requirement, but as a
guid nro auo, that the Applicant provide sufficient screening,
buffering and landscaping to protect the houses, and people that
will eventually reside in Parkside Creek.
22. That it is concluded that the Variance should be granted;
that since 11-2-413 B, PROVISIONS FOR COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL
USES, 1., states that no land or building shall be used or occupied
in any manner creating dangerous, injurious, noxious, or otherwise
objectionable conditions which could a~.TO,-~e,.. _~r_ __~ ..
surrounding areas or adjoining premises except that any use
permitted by this Ordinance may be undertaken and maintained if
FINDINGS OF FACT & CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - page 11
• •
acceptable measures and safeguards to reduce dangerous and
objectionable conditions to acceptable limits, it is concluded that
the Applicant shall submit a landscape, screen and buffer plan to
the Planning and Zoning Administrator showing how the Applicant
proposes to provide screening and buffering for the homes that are,
and will be, in Parkside Creek; that the plan may show less than a
twenty foot strip but it must show that there will be sufficient
screening and buffering for Parkside Creek, which should include a
block or masonry wall; that the lan s~/
P be submitted to the
Council if the Planning and Zoning Administrator believes that it
should be approved by the Council.
23• That if the Applicant is in agreement with these Findings
of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the Decision, it shall submit
the required plan to the Planning and Zoning Administrator as soon
as possible; if the Applicant is not in agreement the Application
shall be deemed denied; that if the Applicant is not in Agreement
it shall submit a letter so informing the City within ten (10 ) days
of March 7, 1994.

OF THE LANDING NO. 7 SUBDIVISION IN THE R-4 NE(
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS
The above entitled variance request having come on for
consideration on February 21, 1995, at approximately 7:30 o'clock
p.m. on said date, at the Meridian City Hall, 33 East Idaho Street,
Meridian, Idaho, and the Applicant's representative, Tucker Johnson
appearing and the City Council having heard and taken oral and
written testimony, the City Council of the City of Meridian makes
the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1• That notice of the public hearing on the variance was
published for two consecutive weeks prior to the scheduled hearing
for February 21, 1995, the first publication of which was fifteen
(15) days prior to said hearing; that the matter was duly
considered at the February 21, 1995, hearing; that copies of all
notices were available to newspaper, radio and television stations.
2• That the notice of public hearing is required to be sent
to property owners within 300 feet of the external boundaries of
the land being considered pursuant to 11-2-416 E. , 11-2-419 D. , and

of Meridian; that this requirement has been met.
3• That Tucker Johnson appeared on behalf of the Applicant,

a variance to the minimum lot size in the R-4 Zone, which is 8,000
square feet, for Lot 12 Block 12 to provide a strip for a parkway,
greenbelt pathway on that lot so that the maximum block length of
1,000 feet is not exceeded; that the lot will be dedicated to the
homeowners association to be maintained as per the City's fire
department request to keep free of trash, weeds and so forth.
4• That Mr. Johnson testified that the net square footage of
the lot would be approximately 7,393; that this variance impacts
only one lot, making the backyard slightly smaller than the counter
part to the east; that the preliminary plat was approved without
any reference to or comments about block length; that in Mr. Wayne
Forrey's opinion, as he was the one who reviewed the preliminary
plat at that time, he didn't see any problem with it.
5• That Mr. Johnson also stated that the subdivision
preliminary was approved, as was the final plat, without any
comment on the block length in the block where this lot is located
and that the problem with the block length was only pointed out by
the City staff to him when the he came into to have the final plat
signed.
6• That in the application the representative states that in
cooperation with the City Planning Director, and in order to
provide an inter-neighborhood connection/pedestrian path without
loosing a lot and having to undo and re-do utility work that is all
ready complete, it has been agreed to that a win-win situation for
the City and the owner is to affect only one lot on the approved
final plat by requesting a reduction in the minimum square footage

requirement.
7• That the ZONING SCHEDULE OF BULK AIVD COVERAGE CONTROLS in
Section 11-2-410 A of the Zoning Ordinance, allows single family
dwellings in the R-4 District, requires that the lot size in the R-
4 Zone be 8,000 square feet; Section 11-9-605 E. of the Subdivision
and Development Ordinance states as follows:
"Every block shall be so designed as to provide two (2) tiers
of lots, except where lots back onto an arterial street,
natural feature or subdivision boundary; blocks shall not be
less than five Hundred feet (500') nor more than one thousand
feet (1,000') in length."
8. That the property is zoned R-4.
9• There was no testimony from the public, either opposing
or approving of the Application.
CONCLUSIONS
1• That all the procedural requirements of the Local
Planning Act and of the Ordinances of the City of Meridian have
been met including the mailing of notice to owners of property
within 300 feet of the external boundaries of the Applicant's
property.
2• That the City has authority to grant variances pursuant
to Section 11-2-419 of the Zoning Ordinance and pursuant to Section
11-9-612 of the Development Ordinances.
3• That the City Council has judged this application by the
guidelines, standards, criteria, and policies contained in the
Zoning Ordinance and upon the record submitted to it and the things
upon which it may take judicial notice.
4• That the Council may take judicial notice of its own
FINDINGS OF FACT AIVD CONCLUSIONS - THE LANDING NO. 7
Page 3
• •_
proceedings, those of the Commission, governmental statutes,
ordinances, and policies, and of actual conditions existing within
the City and the State.
5. ~ That the following provision of Section 11-2-419 A, of
the Zoning Ordinance, are noted which are pertinent to the
Application:
11-2-419 A.
"The Council may authorize in specific cases a variance
from the terms of this Ordinance or from the Subdivision
and Development Ordinances as will not be contrary to the
public interest where, owing to special conditions, a
literal enforcement of the provisions of this Ordinance
would result in unnecessary hardship. No non-conforming
use of neighboring lands, structures or buildings in the
same district and no permitted or non-conforming use of
lands, structures or buildings in other districts shall
be considered grounds for issuance of a variance.
Variances shall be granted only where strict application
of the provisions of this Ordinance would result in
unnecessary hardship. A variance application does not go
to the Commission unless directed by the Council.'~
6• That the specific requirements regarding a variance
that must be evidenced and found by the City Council are as
follows:
11-2-419 C. FINDINGS
A variance shall not~,be granted unless (as a result of a
public hearing) the Council makes a statement of
supportive reasons based directly on the evidence
presented to it which supports conclusions that the
mentioned standards and conditions of this Ordinance have
been met by the applicant and unless all of the following
exist:
1• That there are such special circumstances or
conditions affecting the property that the strict
application of the provisions of this Ordinance would
clearly be impracticable or unreasonable;
2. That strict compliance with the requirements of
this Ordinance would result in extraordinary
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS - THE LANDING NO. 7 Page 4
• ~
hardship to the owner, subdivider or developer
because of unusual topography, other physical
conditions or other conditions which are not self-
inflicted, or that these conditions will result in
inhibiting the achievements or the objectives of
this Ordinance;
3• That the granting of the specified variance
will not be detrimental to the public's welfare or
injurious to other property in the area in which
the property is situated;
4. That such variance will not have the effect of
altering the interest and purpose of this Ordinance
and the Meridian Comprehensive Plan.
7. That regarding Section 11-2-419 C it is specifically
concluded as follows:
a• That there are special circumstances or conditions
affecting the property that the strict application
of the provisions of the applicable ordinances
would clearly be unreasonable since the subdivision
plat was before the City in the preliminary and
final plat applications but the violation of the
block length was not discovered by the City and
brought to the Applicant's attention.
b• That strict compliance with the requirement that there
only be at least 8, 000 square foot single family dwelling
lots in the subdivision would result in extraordinary
hardship to the Applicant as a result of factors not
self-inflicted since the plat application were before the
City but the City did not bring the violation to the
attention of the Applicant.
~• That the granting of the specified variance would
not be detrimental to the public's welfare or
injurious to other property in the area in which
the property is situated, in that the lot would be
approximately 7,400 square feet and the subdivision
would have pedestrian access to the property to the
south.
d- That such variance would not have the effect of
altering the interests and purposes of the required
maximum square footage in the R-8 zone.
8• That it is concluded the Application should be granted.

i wastewater and sludge from the POTW; and
D. To protect the public using and the personnel
~ operating the POTW.
i
This Ordinance provides for the regulation of users of
~
the POTW through the enforcement of administrative
~
~ regulations. This Ordinance authorizes the issuance of
~ indirect discharge permits; authorizes monitoring, compliance,
i and enforcement activities; establishes administrative review
~
I procedures; requires user reporting; and provides for the
~
i setting of fees for the equitable distribution of costs
~ resulting from the program described herein. This Ordinance
does not provide for the recovery of operations, maintenance
~~ or replacement costs of the POTW or the costs associated with

` independent of an existing source at the same
~ site, substantial independence being
~ determined by factors such as: (a) the extent
I to which the new facility is integrated with
I the existin
i g plant, and (b) the extent to
~ which the new facility is engaged in the same
i
~ general type of activity as the existing
source.
'~ Construction on a site at which an existing source
I
~ is located results in a modification rather than a
il New Source if the construction does not create a
~ new building, structure, facility or installation
I meeting the criteria of paragraphs (2) or (3)

~-~23 ENFORCEMENT.
.O1 Emeraencv Suspension of Service and Revocation of
Indirect Discharcre Permit. The City may, after
informal notice to the user in writing or in person
or by telephone, revoke the indirect discharge
permit and order the suspension of the wastewater
treatment service to a user when it appears to the
City that an actual or threatened discharge (a)
presents or threatens an imminent or substantial
danger to the health or welfare of persons or
substantial danger to the environment or (b)
threatens to interfere with the operation of the
POTW. Any user notified of the City's suspension
order shall immediately cease all discharges. In
the event of failure of the user to comply with the
suspension order, the City may immediately take all
. necessary steps to halt or prevent any further
discharge by such user into the POTW. The City
shall have authority to physically cap, block or
seal the user's sewer line (whether on public or
private property) in order to terminate service
under this section. The City shall have the right
SEWAGE PRE-TREATMENT ORDINANCE Page 35
~ •
to enter upon the user's property to accomplish the
capping, blocking or sealing of the user sewer
line. The City shall reinstate the wastewater
treatment service upon clear and convincing proof
by the user of the elimination of the noncomplying
discharge or condition creating the threat as set
forth above.
.02 User Prohibited Conduct. A user shall not (a) fail
to report accurately the wastewater constituents
and characteristics of its discharge; (b) fail to
report significant changes in wastewater
constituents or characteristics; (c) refuse
reasonable access to the user's premises by
representatives of the City for the purpose of
inspection or monitoring; or (d) violate the
provisions of the indirect discharge permit, the
provisions of this ordinance or any order of the
City with respect thereto. The City may seek any
or all of the remedies or penalties provided in
this ordinance (including termination of wastewater
treatment service and water service termination)
against any user who violates any of the foregoing
prohibitions. The City may seek or pursue any
remede, action or relief authorized in this
Ordinance, or may seek the issuance of a temporary
or permanent injunction, as deemed appropriate, for
legal and/or equitable relief.
Enforcement of pretreatment violations will
generally be in accordance with the Meridian
Pretreatment Ordinance. The City reserves the
right, however, to take other action against any
user when the circumstances warrant. Further,
Meridian is empowered to take more than one
enforcement action against any noncompliant user.
SEWAGE PRE-TREATMENT ORDINANCE Page 36
~ •
' These actions may be taken concurrently.
I
j Issuance of a compliance order, administrative
~ fines, penalties, and/or cease and desist orders
I shall not be a bar against, or prerequisite for,
i
i taking any other action against a noncompliant
~ user.
! .03 Notification of Violation - Administrative
i
~ Adiustment. Whenever the City finds that any user
j has violated the prohibitions in Section 22.02
~
~ hereof, the City shall cause to be served upon such
j , user a written notice either in person or by
i certified or registered mail, return receipt
~ requested, stating the nature of the alleged
! violation or violations. The notice may also state
~
~ what fine, penalty or other remedy the City will
~ seek against the user for such alleged violation or
~ violations. ~
i
Within 20 days of the date of receipt of the
~ notice, the user shall respond personally or in
~ writing to the City advising of its position with
~ respect to the allegations. Thereafter, the user
I
~ shall be given the opportunity to meet with
~ representatives, employees or agents of the City to
' ascertain the veracity of the allegations, to
~ establish a plan for the satisfactory correction of
i
, the violations and preclusion of a recurrence
i thereof, and to pay the fine or otherwise comply
I
I with the penalty or remedy being sought by the City
,~
~i for the violation or violations. Submission of a
j response in no way relieves the user for liability
~ for any violations occurring before or after
~
I receipt of written notice of noncompliance from the
~ POTW. Nothing in this section shall limit the
~ authority of the POTW to take any action, including
SEWAGE PRE-TREATMENT ORDINANCE Page 37
• •
!i emergency actions or any other enforcement action,
' without first issuing a Notice of Violation.
~

~~ 7-723.02 is not corrected by timely compliance
~~ through the Administrative Adjustment procedure set
;1 forth at Section 7-723.03, the City may order any
r

~
with respect to the alleged violations of the user.
~ Appeal of such orders may be taken within 20 days
' by the user to the City Council, which may grant a
~
i hearing to take additional evidence or render its
j decision based upon the record of the
SEin1AGE PRE-TREATMENT ORDINANCE Page 38
