1TEM #2: FINAL PLAT: SALMON RAPIDS SUBDIVISION, 49 LOTS BY FARWEST
DEVELOPERS:
Kingsford: Does Council have questions on that issue?
Morrow: Mr. Mayor, I have questions of Gary Smith. Gary could you bring us up to speed,
! have some questions from your memorandum dated May 12, item 6. The conflict
betvveen square foofages on the plat for houses and do we have the verification of 8,000
square feet in the lots 2, 22, 24 - Block 4 and Lot 12 - Block 4?
Smith: Mr. Mayor, Council, Councilman Morrow, 1 haven't heard anything from the
developer or his representative concerning those questions.
Morrow: So in other words on your memorandum the 14 items have not been addressed,
any of the 14 items?
Smith: I did get a copy of the street name approval from the Street Name Committee, and
that is all. As 1 mentioned earlier I haven't heard anything from the developer or his
representative. At least I don't remember hearing anything.
Yerrington: Gary, have you had anything on the development agreement?
Smith: Have 1 had anything on it, no. I haven't been involved in those.
Tolsma: I have a question for Gary, on this proposed well site that he had proposed. I se
now that he expects reimbursement for that.
Smith: Yes,
Tolsma: It seems the cost of that reimbursement is exorbent of what we had in the past.
Smith: I don't have a number available to me at this moment Councilman Tolsma. The
one lot that I am aware of that we did reimburse a developer for was in the Vineyards
subdivision. My length of time here since 1985 that is the only well lot that we have
reimbursed a developer for. All the others have been donated to us. In that particutar
case pressurized irrigation/ well development fund fees were reduced by the value of the
well lot at the request of the developer.
Tolsma: But the developer also landscaped and does all the maintenance on the
•

landscaping.
~
Smith: Yes, he fenced it, it is part of his perimeter fence, he did landscape it all and the
homeowners association is maintaining the lot.
Morrow: Mr. Mayor, 1 am a little cor~fused here, I thought the well lot issue was in respect
to Los Alamitos subdivision and are we not on Salmon Rapids.
Tolsma: Yes we are, I just questioned that to play with you.
Smith: I might mention Councilman Morrow some of these things that I have outlined in
my review are things that would normally be taken care of by the engineer, land surveyor
at the time they resubmit the plat for signature. If those are items are accomplished by that
time then I will go ahead and sign the plat And it won't go any farther in the city's sign off
process. So when the plat is resubmitted if each one of these things has been addressed
that appear on the plat, if they haven't been addressed at that time the plat goes back to
the developers represerrtative. The one item concerning the 1800 square feet versus the
1500 square feet, I don't have any way to resolve that issue. I don't know what the
developer intends to do based on the 2 statements of the square footage. The other
things that are specific to the plat 1 can take care of that at the time it is resubmitted for
signature.
Morrow: 1 have one more question with respect to the fencing commitment between
Kachina Estates which would be to the south of this subdivision that would properly
appear in the development agreement?
Smith: I would expect that would be in there.
Morrow: And the development agreement hasn't been constructed as of yet.
Smith: 1 don't have any information on that. Are there any more questions for me?
Kingsford: Thank you Gary, does Council have any more questions for staff?
Morrow: I have questions for Wayne, you have read and reviewed the covenants and
restrictions.
Crookston: I have
Kingsford: Those are in the next item, Item 3 is covenants. Do we have anything else for
the final plat first. Perhaps they should have been first in that order.

Morrow: No, I guess I have some questions in respect to the, in the letter in our packet
dealing with the pressurized irrigation. There was a request for waiver, so I guess my
question is are we dealing with the request for waiver at the same time we are dealing with
the preliminary plat.
Kingsford: Final plat
Morrow: I'm sorry final plat,
Kingsford: That would be the appropriate time.
Morrow: So do we need to to 2 motions, one to deny the request for waiver or approve the
request for waiver as the case may be?
Kingsford: That would be correct.
Morrow: Okay, I move we deny the request for waiver of pressurized irrigation system.
Yerrington: Second
Kingsford: Moved by Walt, second by Max to deny the waiver for pressurized irrigation for
Salmon Rapids subdivision, all those in favor? Opposed?
MOTION CARRiED: Ail Yea
Morrow: I would move we approve the plat based on or subject to the conditions of Gary
Smith City Engineer and Shari Stiles the City Planning & Zoning Director.
Tolsma: Second
Kingsford: It has been moved by Walt, second by Ron to approve the final plat of Salmon
Rapids subdivision conditioned upon the recommendations of the City Engineer Gary
Smith and the Zoning Administrator Shari Stiles be met, all those in favor? Opposed?
Nea: Yerrington
Kingsford: Do you care to comment?
Yerrington: My reason is they should have the development agreement and this item
should have been tabled until that development agreement was put before this body.

Kingsford: I think I certainly endorse that, we are going to have to have those in. They
lollygag along and things are half built before we ever see those things forth coming.
Morrow: Let me ask this then, what is the status of the development agreement through
the City Attorney's office, the preliminary?
Kingsford: I think you should start with Shari, have you seen anything on that?
Stiles: Mayor and Council tonight I will be submitting a draft of the Summe~etd
subdivision development agreement. This is based on what Wayne Crookston has
submitted as a draft copy. And if I can get with Wayne and Gary Smith on some site
specific information such as well lots and things like that which will be required for each
subdivision. It is just going to take some time to sit down and get those site specific items
down. I think what Wayne has provided is a good base and we just need to prepare the
exhibits for those site specific items I would say in the next 2 to 3 weeks if we can get
together and have time to go over those.
Morrow: I guess my question is, I have no problem with, I think the development
agreement needs to be part of this package when we bring these proposals before us so
we can see exactly what it is that is expected so we know, the public knows and more
impartantly the person providing the service knows what is expected of them. My question
is can we interject the development agreement into the normal flow process so that it is,
when these things come before us in terms of the final plats that they are there and we can
either approve or disapprove as the case may be the entire proje~t or portions of it or so
on and so forth.
Stiles: I believe Wayne Forrey will be presenting tonight a really good idea about having
the developer essentially come up with a written commitment that outlines everything that
was represented during the process. And answers all of the questions that staff and
agencies have come up with. Which will help us in the process so it is not so staff
intensive and time consuming to go back on these prior projects.
Kingsford: Well, 1 think very definitely those things that the development agreement ought
to be a part of and submitted with all the other items that come in prior to final plat
hearing. We are getting out ahead of ourselves when we don't do that.
Morrow: Well I don't disagree with that.
Yerrington: Could we withdraw the motion?
Kingsford: Well, you could make the motion to reconsider.
u

Yerrington: I make a motion that we reconsider the last motion which was passed.
Tolsma: Second
Kingsford: Moved by Max, second by Ron to reconsider the issue of final plat for Salmon
Rapids subdivision, all those in favor'? Opposed
MOTION CARRIED: All Yea
Kingsford: Reconsideration.
Yerrington: 1 make a motion that we table this item until we have an development
agreement in place and postpone it until are next general meeting, the first meeting in
June.
Tolsma: Second
Kingsford: Moved by Max, second by Ron to table this until the next regular meeting in
June pending a development agreement, discussion? All those in favor? Opposed?
MOTION CARRIED: All Yea
ITEM #3: COVENANTS, CONDITIONS, AND RESTRICTIONS FOR SALMON RAPIDS:
Morrow: I had a question for the City Attomey with respect to the covenants and it was
primarily a question with respect to. It is my understanding that covenants set up a
mechanism by which homeowners fees can be charged monthly association dues or
special assessments?
Crookston: Well, I don't have my copy here, I submitted it to Will. I believe that they do.
They do have that, my comment on that was there was that they don't address a regular
annual assessment which I thought was not a good deal. I think there should be a regular
annual assessment. There is a comment that a quorum of not less than a majority of the
members entitled to vote shall be required at such meeting. That means all people who
own lots which is very difficult to obtain because they don't go to the meetings. I don't
thing that is a good idea. There are some wording changes that are very minor. This is
certainly a comment that is totally to be decided, it says all lots shall have fencing that is
completely up to him, it is just a comment. Just a comment on some notes to an owner for
items that are reviewed and disapproved, the comment that I think there should be
language in there that the covenants are reviewed. They are set for a term of 40 years
but there is no language that they are renewed or consecutive periods of whatever term
•
Meridian City Council
May 17, 1994
Page 7
•
Mr. Goldsmith desires. I have that it should be renewed for consecutive 10 year terms
unless revoked by 2/3 majority by all members. 40 years go by and then they are gone.
But there is a homeowners association that can assess dues. I think it needs to be
structured a little differently just for the benefit of the subdivision. I think that is totally up
to the developer.
Kingsford: Any other questions with regard to the covenants?
Morrow: I think the covenants are up to the developer and that they meet certain criteria
that we have. One of the things that 1 am uncomfortable with is the inability of the things
to review. The other thing is that by voting I think the quorum issue needs to be
addressed. In my opinion in subdivision that is where government starts and it should be
functional at that level and it works the best there. So, I think that I would like to see in
the covenants in general a structure that they are workable within the subdivision, that
they renew and that also they have a means of assessing regular be it monthly or yearly
assessments for maintenance of common areas and whatever normal business would
come before that homeowners association.
Kingsford: Can I ask counselor, what is the suggestion with regard to a quorum?
Crookston: Well, the way that Marty has these set forth is you need a quorum you have
a majority of all property owners. That is very difficult to achieve, to promote the business
that needs to be conducted by the association.
Kingsford: That would be true under the assumption that there was a lot of rental property,
that is not the case here. During development stage Mr. Goldsmith is going to be a
majority and at the time those things build each person will be there. I guess I don't see
the problem necessarily.
Crookston: Well, I have been involved in 2 or 3, I have lived in one with homeowners
associations, I have put together 2 or 3 associations for developers, and it has just been
my experience that you need to have it so that a majority constitutes a majority of those
people that are at the meeting. Then you have your officers that run their meeting and
they basically control the association but to have a general meeting for instance where you
elect officers to do that to get a quorum of a majority of all lot owners you are not going to
get it.
Kingsford: You could call a meeting though and not advertise it very well and a majority
might be two people.
Crookston: That is correct but you do have to give a notice.
~ ~
Meridian City Council
May 17, 1994
Page 8
Kingsford: Does it stipulate in the covenants what notice will be given?
Crookston: 1 don't remember that.
Kingsford: Well, let's don't haggle over that, that is something that ought to be discussed
and addressed befinreen the developer and which largely that is his concern anyway.
Crookston: Written notice of any meeting called for purposes of making a special
assessment says 20 days notice sent to all association members not less than 20 days
prior to the meeting. Generally what you end up with is you end up with a few people
running the association. But if you don't have that it doesn't get run at all.
Kingsford: Well, I would suggest that the Council consider approval of the covenants
conditioned upon an agreement with the City Attorney and the developer.
Yerrington: I would make that motion.
Tolsma: Second
Kingsford: Moved by Max, second by Ron to approve of the covenants and conditions and
restrictions for Salmon Rapids subdivision conditioned upon an agreement with the
Attorney and the developer, all those in favor'? Opposed?
MOTION CARRIED: All Yea
ITEM #4: FINAL PLAT: LOS ALAMITOS SUBDIVISION, 28 LOTS BY FARWEST
DEVELOPERS:
Kingsford: Does council have any questions for staff?
Morrow: I have a question of Gary on item 17, it says provide recorded data showing that
this length of Nine Mile Drain is owned by the Bureau of Reclamation, if they are owners
should this be shown as a lot and require them to sign on the plat. Do we have a
resolution to that question? So we don't know if they are owners or not.
Smith: Mr. Mayor, Councilman Morrow, the Iot is shown on the plat as a lot as a separate
lot the way it is drawn. Which indicates that it is under a separate ownership. Generally
speaking if it is an easement if it is there by easement the ownership goes to the center
of the ditch and then an easement line is shown. And that is why I raised the question.
Morrow: And thus far we don't have an answer to that question?
~ ~
Meridian City Council
May 17, 1994
Page 9
Smith: No, that is correct. I haven't heard from anybody on these questions.
Morrbw: Okay, on any of the questions?
Smith: No, the only thing I received is I did receive a street name approval letter from Ada
County Street Name Committee.
Morrow: I have some questions of Shari, if no one else has questions for Gary.
Kingsford: Any other questions? Shari
Morrow: You have a letter dated the 17th to us showing several points were raised on
street configuration has changed from the previously approved preliminary plat. And Nine
Mile Drain previously shown as being tiled is now open. Applicant has requested a
variance from tiling and pressurized irrigation requirements. So he has requested 2
variances there is that the issue?
Stiles: I am not sure that there is a variance, I guess he would need to have a variance
on that Nine Mile Drain now even though he is not sure if it is 54 or 60 inches. According
to our ordinance I guess if it is 60 inches they wouldn't have to tile that. There is another
lateral that is further east of this platted portion that would require a variance. So, I guess
the tiling may not apply to this particular plat.
Morrow: And that was a request for the waiver of pressurized irrigation easement 1'm sorry
requirements?
Stiles: Yes
Morrow: Okay, then item 5, dealing with the City's understanding that the applicant was
providing a well site and working with the school district to provide a 3 acre school site,
there are some conflicts going on here with respect to whether the well site is going to be
provided or a pressurized irrigation waiver is going to go there. Apparentty none of that
has been resolved as of yet, is that correct?
Stiles: I believe he is going to do the well site, you still have to decide on the waiver.
It was Gary's understanding and from reading all the minutes it was always donated. Now
we have received the letter from Mr. Goldsmith that you have in your packet requesting
reimbursement and also talking about the park/ school site. This is another one that
requires a development agreement.
Morrow: I have no more questions for Shari.

Meridian City Council
May 17, 1994
Page 10
Kingsford: Other questions of the Council?
Morrow: Mr. Mayor I think obviously in terms of this project there are a lot of gray areas
here. I think the gray areas I am concerned about that we do not grant a waiver from the
pressurized irrigation apparently by not granting that waiver if we elect not to that triggers
same renegotiation with respect to the well lot in terms of different positions. There are
also some different positions in terms of the three a~re school park issue of ground. tt
looks to me like in the case of this subdivision proposal that there is sut~stantially more
reason to table this than the prior one in terms of executing a development agreement
because there are critical issues here that need to be spelled out. Having that in mind I
would be in the frame of doing 2 motions so that at least the staff and developer get some
guidance with respect to the pressurized irrigation. My first motion would be that the
request for waiver from the pressurized irrigation system be denied.
Yerrington: Second
Kingsford: Moved by Walt, second by Max to not allow the waiver for pressurized
irrigation, all those in favor? Opposed?
MOTION CARRIED: All Yea
Morrow: My second motion would be that we table this to give the staff and Mr. Goldsmith
the opportunity to get the development agreement up and before us for the next City
Council meeting so that we can address all the issues and hopefully there will be a
resolution on the well lot issue and on the 3 acre school issue prior to that time so we have
a proposal that has all of these things covered and we can base our decision on that
proposal.
Tolsma: Second
Kingsford: Moved by Walt, second by Ron to table Los Alamitos Subdivision until the next
meeting with direction to staff and developer to get the development agreement so it is
prepared for the next meeting, any discussion? All those in favor? Opposed?
MOTION CARRIED: All Yea
Goldsmith: Mr. Mayor and Councilmen, 1 have addressed all of these issues on here and
I would really like to see this plat move forward as I can name the last 3 times that we ran
into problems with these plats as I have tried to get before you. The latest issue seems
to be the development agreement and I have written a letter to Shari Stiles and she is in
receipt of it and it clearly outlines my understanding as my talks with her and Wayne

Forrey. They are that you guys wanted the job to prepare those documents and now it
seems that it may fall on me.
Kingsford: Well, in any event Marty I think they have got to be done. You are the one that
wants to do the project, you are the one that wants to see it done. We have a conffict as
to whether developers are going to give a 3 acre site, I think that is critical because we are
talking about 3 other developers that fall in that same category. The minutes of the
meeting clearly show that it was a gift, there is a different between a gift and a sale.
Goldsmith: The 3 acre site.
Kingsford: As Mr. Morrow said I think there are some very clear problems that we have
in moving forward. It is incumbent upon you to see that we are in agreement to see what
they are.
Goldsmith: I have no problems, I was thinking that guys would pay for this school site in
some other fashion then what Dan Mabe has proposed and he is willing to pay for the
property and has a contract being drawn up on it now. It does not affect these phases
right now and I will put in pressurized irrigation that does eliminate 2 of our 3 topics there
and I will donate the well site. 1 would appreciate your guys expediency on these matters
and helping me get cleared up. For small steps in the past we have gone 3 meetings and
not been able to address these issues. 1've tried to get some meeting with you guys to
get this cleared up.
Kingsford: Have you been in to talk to staff about these things? Mr. Smith for example
says he hasn't had any comments back on a large list of items. Ms. Stiles said she got a
letter from you, have you been in to talk about these items?
Goldsmith: I have spoken to Gary and I have seen his review comments and there is
nothing on there that we are not going to comply with.
Kingsford: But, did you transmit that to the city?
Goldsmith: No I did not
Kingsford: Well, we are not mind readers. The Council would like to know that those
things have been taken care of at least that is what t am reading.
Goldsmith: The covenarrts is a typographical error, I mean the 1800 square foot lots and
that is something I know all of those issues with Gary can be taken care of on the final plat.
I really think that all of these issues are in hand at this time. And that I would hope that
.
Meridian City Council

you guys would move forward and approve it contingent upon a development agreement
to your satisfaction. This is the third time that I came in on these.
Kingsford: I don't dispute that, I recognize your face.
Goldsmith: One time I came in and it was just a typographical error on our schedufing, I
was heard for an ordinance and not an ordinance and preliminary p{at. And there have
been 2 other misunderstandings and I am just trying to get them cleared up.
Kingsford: Does Council desire to reconsider?
Morrow: Mr. Mayor, Mr. Goldsmith and I have met to try and get the issues with Kachina
Estates and those things taken care with respect to the pressurized irrigation things taken
care of and he has been very cooperative about that. I am not willing to withdraw the
motion for the following reasons. I think it is high time that not only we in city govemment
but the development community, the engineering community and everybody else
understands that when they bring a project forward it needs to be presented so that we as
guardians or trustees of the publics best interest have a fair chance of making a wise and
intelligent decision based on facts that are before us. To sub-contract that responsibility
to our staff I think is not only not doing our job but it is unfair to those folk. And so I guess
my position from here on out is like when we build a project we try to make sure that we
have everything done before we present it for sale and that just makes good sense to me.
1 think what happens is that in the past there has been too much authority delegated to the
staff from the elected folk and put an unfair burden on their shoulders to approve projects
and make decisions contingent upon all the things being met. And quite frankly when I
first came on we voted for some stuff I didn't have a clue what was going on and I wasn't
sure that I was representing the taxpayers best interest. I think from what I'm hearing in
the last 3 months or so maybe it is time we tighten up the ship a little bit and we have all
those facts and figures before us. If they are not before us it goes back to the P& Z folk
because it is not fair for us to approve something that is radically different from what those
folks approved and that is part of the govemmental process. So, for those reasons
unfortunately Marty you happen to be the guy on the hot seat but I think your proposal is
a perfect example of what is going on, some better a whole lot far worse. And in many
cases those folks that we are dealing with aren't as agreeable or as easy to work with as
you are and will be. So, I think now is the time that we start and press forward and make
sure all those things are in place. So that we can make good decisions and have good
government that is what the folks are paying their money for. That is how I feel about it
in general.
Golds~th: Who should 1 work these items out with?

Kingsford: I think you need to get in, you have a list of things that Ms. Stiles has spoken
to, you have a list of things Mr. Smith has spoken about. You have the issue still with
Kachina Estates, 1'm not sure where you are at with that, I would like to see some
correspondence to see how that is resolved, I've not seen anything on it. I did see one
letter that talked about and a piece of illustration of a fence. I'm not sure that was
discussed with Walt and is satisfactory and so forth. I would like to see some minutes of
that. I think you need to clean up those covenants the way you want so we see that and
post haste. Time is money to you I understand that but we want to see it done well as Mr.
Morrow has indicated.
Gofdsmith: I sure would have had a development agreement before you this evening if it
was on my list. 1 appreciate your guys consideration. Can you comment on the fence Mr.
Morrow'?
Morrow: Yes, the fence issue has been well resolved. I think I have seen information from
Mr. Schild that is agreeable with the fencing issue. I do think for purposes that belongs
in a development agreement. That in fact has been accomplished. The notice in the
covenants and restrictions was there addressing, I had asked be addressed notifying the
subsequent buyers of the property that there is an agricultural wsage there that does pre-
exist that subdivision. That those folks rights will be protected to do their agricultural
things as necessary. And so that has been taken care of, I do think there ought to be as
part of the development agreement notification of the realtors in terms of notifying potential
buyers that those things exist and that has been done with Mr. Goldsmith in good faith in
terms of harmony with the neighbors.
Kingsford: And that included the things with regard to spray and those types of things,
livestock.
Morrow: Yes
Kingsford: Last I saw Mr. Schild was concemed about that. Are we singing from the same
sheet of music?
Goldsmith: Yes I think so, if you can give me an appointment date, I do have problems
getting an appointment. I would like to be prompt and get my things done.
Kingsford: Mr. Berg will be in in the moming, is that true? Get with Mr. Berg the City Clerk
and he will coordinate that.

Morrow: I am missing 5, 6, 7, that would explain why I don't see any.
Crookston: It is a creation of a lean for personal obligations of assessments. These are
almost exactly the same as Salmon Rapids.

Morrow: So does it have the same issues with respect to majority voting?
Crookston: Yes
Morrow: A quorum is 50% of the subdivision lots?
Crookston: A quorum of not less than majority of inembers entitled to vote whether in
person or proxy it is the same situation.
Morrow: Mr. Mayor, 1 would move that these covenants and restrictions be approved
pending working out those details that we have talked about prior to between the City
Attomey and the developer.

ITEM #7: PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR THE LAKE AT
CHERRY LANE N0. 3 SUBDIVISION BY STEINER DEVELOPMENT:
Kingsford: At this time I will open the public hearing and invite the developer or his
designee to speak first.
Wayne Forrey, 52 East Franklin Road, was sworn by the City Attorney.
Forrey: Mayor, may I take half a minute to set up the overhead projector?
Kingsford: Okay
Forrey: Thank you Mayor, I am here tonight representing Stiener Development who is the
owner and the developer of Cherry Lane at the Lake subdivision No. 3. Steiner
development is in a partnership with the City of Meridian with developing the golf course,
the portion of the back nine of Cherry Lane Golf Course and also in a partnership with
Brighton Corporation that has the balance of the back nine. Steiner has reviewed all of
the staff and agency tha# have been included in the packet that we received. I am going
to list them spec~cally. We have reviewed and agree with all of the conditions submitted
by Shari Stiles, Meridian School District, Ada County Highway District, Meridian Police

department, the Ada County Street Name Committee, Central District Health, Nampa
Meridian Irrigation, Idaho Rower, US West. Steiner development also accepts all of the
conditions outlined by Gary Smith in his development memo, but we would like to bring
one point to your attention and that is Gary's comment no. 2 where he indicated there
should be a connecting street between 2 streets on the west side of the property. And
unfortunately when developers look at their ownership they tend to just plan their piece
and not share (End of Tape) And they share all the information pertaining to the adjoing
property. So, the City staff did not have the benefit of knowing what Brighton Corporation
was doing immediately west of this site. In the green that you see on the west end of that
plat there is a connecting street and several lots that are included in the Brighton
Corporation plat and I hope that would satisfy Gary's concem for a connecting street. That
block length however and that would be from this point to this point, is 1,170 feet in length.
And Gary is absolutely correct the City ordinance requires a maximum block length of
1,000 feet. l suspect that Gary was thinking aF a connecting street somewhere in here and
I am hopeful that this sVeet in the Brighton property wouid satisfy Gary's concem and also
the Fire Department mentioned that a connecting street was needed in here. Other than
that Steiner Corporation would agree with all those conditions but I am going to ask that
the City Council include 2 new conditions on this project. Condition no. 1 would be that
is project would be subject to a development agreement. It has been practice of the City
of Meridian to have development agreements only at the time of annexation, predominantly
at the time of annexation. This is property already annexed, it has been used in several
master plans, but there are 3 major partners here that are linked together, that is the City,
Steiner and Brighton Corporation with the golf course. So i think it makes sense, Steiner
development is totally willing to prepare the development agreement, nurture that and
work out details with Brighton Corporation and then come to the City Council and make
sure the City is pleased and formalize those agreements in a development agreement.
The second condition that we would request of the City Council that you place on this
project is something new but definitely needed. It is a new concept so I will just call it
something here, a development certification document. And we would request that the
City require as a condition of approval of this preliminary plat that Steiner development
submit to the City within 30 days of tonight a development certification document that
would restate in writing all of the conditions that staff and agencies have placed on this
project and then provide a written answer on how it is to be complied with. Often times
engineers, architects, planners, developers say we agree with the conditions and then
they leave. They don't give it much thought. It is approved subject to Gary Smith or Shari
Stiles and it falls on Gary's lap several months later and there are a lot of unanswered
questions and issues much like you discussed tonight. And the focus goes then shifts from
the developer to why isn't the engineer helping, why is the City staff slowing it down. It is
really not their responsibility I don't feel. And Steiner development doesn't feel that its
appropriate either. The burden should be on the private sector to iron out and wrinkles
before it gets to staff to make it efficient. So with this bound document stating the question
C~
Meridian City Council
May 17, 1994
Page 17
•
that was asked or the condition and then stating an answer, when it gets to Gary or Shari
they have something all in a package all together that answers the questions. And you will
notice sometimes like in Gary's comments here on this project he will ask a question, what
is the status of something. That may or may not be a development condition but he does
have a question that needs to be answered. This is a process that would answer that for
him. 30 days is an adequate time for these developers to do that. This afternoon at 4:00
I met with the developers council of the Building Contractors Association of Southwest
Idaho and presented this concept for their consideration and they hardily endorse it. They
feel it is in the development communities best interest to make suce everybody knows like
the Mayor said singing from the same sheet of music and they are willing to do that and
endorse that. Now you may not want to expand it beyond Steiner development but they
are willing to do that. And within 30 days your staff will have a bound document showing
compliance with all of this. One last thing, in the newly adopted Comprehensive Plan it
talks about a policy, there is a policy that says there can be a development transfer when
a developer donates or dedicates land to a public purpose, in this case there is some land
that Steiner will provide to the City for golf course development. To my knowledge no one
has taken advantage of the density transfer so we are asking how to proceed. But Steiner
development would like to take 4 lots, it would be these 4 lots right around the northeast
corner of that project, around that culdesac and instead of developing single family
detached units, develop a duplex but they are a patio home. A condominium type, upper
end patio home because several people have indicated that if they would do something
like that near the golf course they would buy them. They have a couple pre-sold if that
could be developed. But we would need advise of Council and stafF on how to proceed
if that is even a possibility otherwise they would just build a single family.
Morrow: How many?
Forrey: There would be S units instead of 4 single family, it would still be singie family,
they would still be for sale they are not rental units but there would be a patio home. Other
than that Mayor and Council we think that would solve some problems with this
certification document and want to work with the City. I would be happy to answer
questions.
Morrow: Could you review for me how the, the part of the development agreement the
deeding of the ground to the City for the golf course. Can you walk me through that
procedure and show me what ground is scheduled to be deeded?
Forrey: Yes, the fairway that you see in the middle of the project is currently being master
planned by Steiner development and Brighton Corporation and Brighton Corporation has
hired a golf course architect and he is designing those fairways. As late a 2 or 3 days ago
they shifted a couple of lots to give more room to the fairways. I don't know the amount

Morrow: No, I guess I have some questions in respect to the, in the letter in our packet
dealing with the pressurized irrigation. There was a request for waiver, so I guess my
question is are we dealing with the request for waiver at the same time we are dealing with
the preliminary plat.
Kingsford: Final plat
Morrow: I'm sorry final plat,
Kingsford: That would be the appropriate time.
Morrow: So do we need to to 2 rnotions, one to deny the request for waiver or approve the
request for waiver as the case may be?
Kingsford: That would be correct.
Morrow: Okay, I move we deny the request for waiver of pressurized irrigation system.
Yerringtan: Second
Kingsford: Moved by Watt, second by Max to deny the waiver for pressurized irrigation for
Salmon Rapids subdivision, all those in favor? Opposed?
MOTION CARRIED: All Yea
Morrow: I would move we approve the plat based on or subject to the conditions of Gary
Smith City Engineer and Shari Stiles the City Planning & Zoning Director.

should have been tabled until that development agreement was put before this body.

of shift, but I think that should be addressed in the development agreement before the City
proceeds any farther with this project that the City be comfortab{e with the layout of the
golf course. And then talk about the land development around it, but it has been the City's
perspective let's get the golf course pinned down and then a legal description. Let me ask
Tom Eddy he is here, so the boundaries on the fairways are still in a preliminary stage.
My feeling is that ought to be done within 30 days and we ought to tell you in a written
form what that ought to be as part of that certification process.
Morrow: I have no further questions, I have a couple of comments. I don't have a problem
with incorporating patio homes within the proposal I think that makes good sense. I also
would support and encourage the development certification document and development
agreements. And that is exactly what we want so that when we look at #he project the at
the next presentation everything is before us. So, 1 will be anxiously awaiting that.
Tolsma: We are exceeding lengths on culdesacs, because especially on the upper streets
there it is over 800 feet from the road out to the (inaudible) you have a 1000 feet from the
middle and you are over 800 feet on the lower. If that green parcel down there is
developed at the same time you have a through street. But before that part is developed
you are in excess of the length of the culdesac length which requires a variance.
Forrey: That is correct.
Tolsma: I think (inaudible) require a variance would be block length also if that is going
to be a through street through there (inaudible).
Kingsford: I think that also should probably be a condition of that certified agreement that
those variances be filed in that same time frame.
Forrey: Okay, you would then direct Steiner to file a variance on those issues?
Tolsma: It is going to have to be done to the ordinance.
Forrey: I think the primary reason is just the layout of the golf course itself to blend in with
that.
Tolsma: Well, if this Brighton Corporation was building at the same time (inaudible).
Forrey: Well, Gary pointed that out in his comments, a temporary culdesac is almost a
meaningless term. Temporary could be forever, there needs to be a time period on that.
Tolsma: (Inaudible) there could be a lot of dead end streets out there.

Meridian City Council

Kingsford: I am assuming the heavy line has to do with the phase?
Forrey: No that is to show you that the lateral is going to be tiled through there. It would
run in the back of the lots but also through a portion of the fairway. So there would not be
an open lateral through there. And that is the routing at this point that Nampa Meridian
and Steiner talked about. That was another question that Gary had concerning the status
of that tiling.
Tolsma: More like a hidden water hazard.
Forrey: Well, maybe the City wants it open.
Kingsford: No, a water hazard along the right would be fine for people who don't slice the
ball, but we don't need that. The question I was going to ask kind of got addressed. I
would really like to see what would be the 10th fairway, 1 st fairway whatever you address
there Tom. What the width of that is as you move that street down in relationship to the
finished pond. Go over, it is in the lower left corner, that fairway to see where the pond
is in relationship to this project. What we have is your property and I can't tell from that
where the lake is and what width that fairway is and so forth. So I would like to see those
dimer~sions. I know Mr. Peugh had some concerns about that and I know Mr. Campbell
when he was in said it was addressed. I would still like for comfort level to see what that
dimension is.
Forrey: That can be accompfished in 30 days.
Kingsford: Any other questions of Mr. ~orrey? Anyone else from the public that would like
to offer testimony on this issue? Seeing none I will close the public hearing, Council
members.
Morrow: Mr. Mayor, Mr. Smith has a comment I believe.
Smith: Mr. Mayor, Council members, I first of all will publicly applaud Wayne and his
suggestion on this development certification. I think it is an outstanding idea and once in
a while in the past engineers, land surveyors have addressed the comments that in my
ovm case I have made. And they have done it in a written format, they responded to me
saying they understand this item and they will comply or they feel they want to do thus and
thus contrary to what I might have suggested. But at least we have an open dialogue of
what their response is to my comments. So I think that is very important and very
appropriate. Again I applaud Wayne for bringing that up to the Council this evening. One
thing I want to be sure is that the developer, I know I have talked to Tom Eddy in the past
and tMey are aware of it. I want to be sure that a the sewer lines leaves the northeast

comer of this project that the atignment is worked out such that we don't have a lot of kinks
in the sewer lines, that is manholes, jigs, jogs. And I'm not sure what the addition of the
patio homes in that area represents yet and l know that item wil! be worked out because
they have been very cooperative to this point. I don't expect anything less in the future.
but it is an issue that I want to be sure we resolve prior to the day the plat comes in for
signature. I've had some problems in the recent past with sewers leaving public right of
ways. It doesn't always turn out to be a pretty thing. Tom and 1 did have conversation
about a routing that they proposed and I requested that it be straightened out and he just
indicated that they have done. Apparently it isn't an issue. That is all I have.
Kingsford: Thank you Gary.
Morrow: Mr. Mayor, I would move that we approve the preliminary plat subject to receiving
the development certification document and the development agreement.

1TEM #8: FIELDSTONE MEADOWS NO. 4: PRESSURIZED IRRIGATION WAIVER:
Merkle: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, I am Jim Merkle with Hubble Engineering in
Boise. Here this evening representing G.L. Voigt the applicant for Fieldstone Meadows.
Two weeks ago this evening you approved Fieldstone Meadows No. 4 final plat. I
apoiogize for not attending that meeting however we had some mis-communication with
the City C1erk's office in our attempt to table this item so we could prepare and address the
irrigation issue on this subdivision. Fieidstone Meadows No. 4 is actually the Sth phase
of what will be a 6 phase project originalty approved in 1992 as the Ustick Meadows
preliminary plat. Sunnybrook No. 5 final plat which is right here is actually the first phase.
I think it was recorded a year and a half ago. Then Fieldstone No. 1 out here on Ustick,
Fieldstone 2 and Fieldstone 3. Now we are talking about Fieldstone 4. The project is
located about half to a 1/4 mile east of Ten Mi{e Road which would be up here on the
south side of Ustick. West side of us is Nine Mile Drain, south of us is the existing
Sunnybrook Farms, east of us is the radio tower site. On May 2nd we submitted a letter
to the City that the requirement for pressurized irrigation system for Fieldstone Meadows
No. 4 which is the 5th phase be waived in lieu of a wel{ development fund deposit by the
applicant which is allowed by your City ordinance 9-605B, paragraph 14. The well

development deposit is what was proposed and approved in the first 4 phases of this
development. Because a pressurized irrigation system was not proposed for, planned for
or budgeted for, several decisions were made at the inception of the design of this project.
These include, and let me describe them for you, there were 2 irrigation ditches that
provided water to this project and to the property west of us. One of them is the southerly
ditch which came up the top of Glenfield and through our subdivision and provided water
to this piece of property right here. Because we weren't providing irrigation 2 years ago
at the first phase this ditch has been abandoned and the water that serves this property
has been re-routed way up stream to come up this ditch which is being tiled through our
subdivision. Also, since there was no pressurized irrigation system there was no need for
a waste ditch or an over flow ditch in this. So, this low point which used to be a drainage
for the property when it was irrigated by farmers that has been abandoned, that is not
there anymore it doesn't exist. Sunnybrook 5, Fieldstone 1 and 2, their plats which have
been approved, recorded, the streets are paved and the homes are being constructed right
now. As you can see where these are located there is no way to get over flow pipes or
other irrigation pipes through those paved streets, back yards, through homes, everything
to the drain which is Nine Mile Drain. Fieldstone 3, which is right here, its plat has been
approved and will be paved in 10 to 2 weeks is their schedule. All the utilities are in, curbs
are being poured and it will be paved pretty quick and recorded within 5 to 6 weeks. The
applicant is not opposed to the City of Meridian requiring pressurized irrigation systems
in new subdivisions, in fact G. L. Voigt who is the applicant on Summerfield subdivision
installed or is pianning on instaliing, installed his first phase in that subdivision even prior
to you guys requiring it. In fact the first phase should be on line here in a couple of weeks
once we get the pumps on instafled. Afso Mr. Voigt has submitted an application for
subdivision ofF of Overland Road which is also proposing a pressurized irrigation system
to be maintained by Nampa Meridian. The difference between those 2 subdivisions and
this Fieldstone phase 4 final plat is that the decision was made day one of the project and
through the approval project, to plan, design and construct a pressurized irrigation system.
That is not the case here. In the minutes from the Council meeting 2 weeks ago on May
3rd, Councilman Morrow stated in regards to pressurized irrigation systems and I think I
quoted this, he said, "it is one of those deals that we started the trend and at some point
you have to draw the line and go forward and I think that point has been reached and
passed." Well I agree with Mr. Morrow, however, the point which he speaks of should be
at the beginning of the project, either at the preiiminary planning stages, the preliminary
piat stage or even the first phase of the project, not the 5th phase of a 6 phase project.
When we don'# plan for those up front we don't even include systems such as over flow
pipes, power sources, space the pump sites and what not. So in conclusion I would
request that you reconsider and waive the irrigation requirement for Fieldstone No. 4 final
p{at based upon the facts { presented here this evening. Thank you and I wouid like to
answer any questions that you have.

Yerrington: Sir, what would you do in the future if all of the homes in Meridian had
pressurized irrigation? What are you going to do with the rest of your project?
Merkle: Well, at some point in the future I believe it would be up to the homeowners
association of this particular projeet to get together and vote to retrofit and insta{{ the
pressurized irrigation system for those particular lots. At this time Mr. Voigt has probably
sold half of these lots to builders and different homeowners, he is not even involved in
those anymore, he doesn't own them anymore. He can't go back and retrofit as his will.
YeRington: Thank you
Kingsford: Other comments or questions? What is the Council's decision?
Morrow: I am open to discussion by Ron and Max as to what their thoughts are and what
your thought is.
Kingsford: Well certainly the issue of moving that water is a realistic one and they have
the park to deal with to try and bring it back across. I don't think that is insurmountable,
but certainly constitutes a problem. The other answer to that may be a shallow well I
suppose instead of using the irrigation water.
Yerrington: How many lots involved in this?
Merkle: 41 out of 256 in this phase.
Kingsford: We do have Jim, subdivisions that are smatler than that that are on a surface
well. We have subdivisions also where phases are on and phases are not prior to Nampa
Meridian being involved in pressurized irrigation. Developers elected to do that and in
some cases changed their mind later in other cases they elected to do it after the first
couple of phases. So, I don't know that its insurmountable. I think that Max's comment
might be very well taken and I would hope that at some point down the road the whole
valley wakes up to the fact that there is not a lot of water under us that we utilize that on
the surface as much as possible. And retrofit, I envision not all too far down the road, 20
-30 years that all of Meridian will be retrofitted and have pressurized irrigation. As I look
at the cost of expanding the sewer plant and we are talking about well over a 1/3 of the
capacity of that plant is in treating groundwater that is ground water created by people
running 3 inches of water on top of their grass. It is not an efficient way to irrigate and I
think we need to amend that.
Merkle: I agree, and as I stated earlier, Mr. Voigt is not opposed to it, he is doing it on
several of the big subdivisions he is proposing in the City of Meridian. That is not the
~ •
Meridian City Council
May 17, 1994
Page 23
issue, the issue is it was not planned for or required or proposed from day one. There are
some things that are going to be real costly and possibly not even work. For instance, I
was out there today, there is a full head of water coming down this ditch, it was held up
right here to irrigate this property. What are the homeowners supposed to do if that is their
source of irrigation, when a full head of water is being used elsewhere.
Kingsford: Well, logically on a project this size, probably a surFace well would be the most
appropriate.
Merkle: Ideally, we have Nine Mile Drain right there, perfect source for 4 phases of the
project, it is bottlenecked off. I agree with what you are saying we are 80% of the way
home.
Morrow: Let me raise a couple of issues here Jim with respect to the full head of water
issue, is that if those folks water right is in that ditch they are entitled to take their water
right out of that ditch. The only thing that the full head does is make it easier and quicker
for that person who has the property adjacent to get over his property quicker. So, the
issue of when their water can come into a, let's assume that it is a concrete check box that
they are going to pump out of as long as they don't exceed their water right it can come
into there continuously it does not have to go to help somebody else's water in terms of
head pressure to irrigate their property. The second thing is and it is more criticat that
most of you understand is the issue with the sewage department and the sewer plant
where uncandidly we are at or very close to our capacity as the EPA permit is now. And
Grant is absolutely correct, 1/3 of our capacity is being taken up by ground infiltration
water that is coming into that sewer line. The bigger issue here is that ali the odds point
to and the information points to that we are going to get help from the EPA. But to play
devil's advocate if we don't get help from the EPA as soon as we hit our 3 miltion gallons
all of us are done including you and your subdivision, because we have no place to put
the s~wage. It is a simple deal, there will be no more building. So what is contingent upon
us is to start solving these problems and start solving them now. I am sensitive to the fact
that you are talking about there are already 4 other phases that haven't done it. 1 think that
probably we should have not allowed those to go in without pressurized irrigation in the
past but we did and so be that. 1 think the bigger issue is that we have to take the bu{f by
the homs and bite the bullet and just get on down the road and start solving the problem.
Because quite candidly the EPA does not decide to grant us the waiver that we need, Mr.
G.L. Voigt and you and everybody else isn`t going to get to build a house in that
subdivision anyway, because we won't be able to sewer it without a massive sewer plant
expansion and the sheer logistics of that we don't have the time between now and
September 1 sfi or whenever the waiver has been requested for to increase the capacity
of the sewer plant. So, part of that, the odds of that happening are fairly remote, part of
what we are dealing with here is that trying to solve that groundwater problem. And that
.
Meridian City Council

we start solving it in little tiny pieces and then we get it solved long term, but we have to
take the small steps first.
Merkle: I understand that, let me get this straight, so what you are saying is the infiltration
problem that your sewer lines is going to be averted by putting in pressurized irrigation.
Morrow: Long term, not short term. Long term it is going to be aided immensely, but we
have to start someplace.
Merkle: And as I stated that someplace is ai the beginning of the project not at the end.
I agree and so does Mr. Voigt and on his next project he is proposing it and
wholeheartedly going for it. If we were backed up 2 years we would probably
wholeheartedly agree and do it here and do something out of the drain. There is just no
way to feasibly get water to that part down there and have a proper overflow system.
Morrow: What do you mean by overflow system?
Merkle: Well, if you are getting your water out of a ditch you either have to take all of it or
none. If you don't happen to take all of it there has to be an overflow for it to go
somewhere. Typically that is on further down stream. But in the case of the southerly
ditch it is not there anymore because it wasn't planned for. And that was because the well
development fee was requested on the previous phases and anticipated to be requested
on these 2 phases also. If the adjacent subdivision coming up is 5 years ahead of where
it is now there maybe someway to tie it into that system. But that is not here yet.
Morrow: Well, I would think if it is the Council's decision to reverse the requirement at the
very least there ought to be some provisions made within the subdivision either dry lining
more facilities by which the pressurized irrigation reservoir can be put in at some point in
the future in conjunction with the subdivision adjacent to it. And those would be my
thoughts on this project.
Yerrington: Mr. Mayor, would it be possible to talk to Nampa Meridian and see what the
possibilities of delivering water to this subdivision from the regular sources?
Kingsford: Question first Mr. Merkle, talking about phase 4 here and it kind of is dissected
away from the rest of it, but phase 5 you are talking another 49 lots. Then it seems to me
you are at a very workable stage, you are talking about 90 lots here to provide a source
for you have water on that next phase. It just strikes me as a whole lot more realistic to
do that at this point then to retrofit it at some point down the road. A lot easier to do it
before there are streets and sidewalks and rose bushes and all of that. And that might be
a surtace well or it might be that you have the same property owner that you run that

across from now what is phase 5, it is undeveloped. And size that to accommodate that.
I guess whife I am sympathetic to your arguments, 1 think the Council has taken a stand
and we could be asked to make the same kind of adjustments from that would make as
much sense. I think I would recommend to the Council that we deny the waiver. 90 lots
are a lot of lots. We can't grow wells fast enough at the growtM level we have to meet out
needs. I am praying for reasonably cool weather this summer.
Merkle: So every subdivision that comes in here now is going to have pressurized
irrigation, every single one, even 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th phases that don't have it in the first few.
Kingsford: I coutd see Mr. Merkle where there could be a situation where it couldn't be
done. I don't see that this meets that requirement. I think it can be done.
Merkle: It can be done, but at what cost is what I'm asking, how agreeable are the users
on that ditch to have a subdivision pumping off of that well and not take a full head when
they do it like they have done for how ever many years they have irrigated the area.
Kingsford: All of those ditches go down and they have an escape route, they all end up
in a drain ditch at some point.
Merkle: Exactly and that is this ditch right here, that was abandoned.
Kingsford: At some point down below of the ditch you have remaining there is an overflow
ditch.
Merkle: Okay, if that is your decision.
Kingsford: No, that was only my recommendation.
Merkle: I would like to have a recourse if there in not a feasible way to guarantee this
subdivision a constant source of pressurized irrigation out of that ditch, that there is a
recourse for the developer. Because there is no sense to put something in that is not
going to work. I would like to opportunity to show that, and if it works great but I don't
believe it will.
Kingsford: (Inaudible) We have a subdivision of about 40 lots in Meridian that was one
of the first ones that did do pressurized irrigation and it works nicely. Check with Mr.
Jenkins out here off of Pine, it is a nice subdivision and it works well.
Merkle: Is that a surtace source?

of a negative attitude that it can't work. Part of what your and my responsibility as builder
and deve{opers and creators of things is to solve problems not create problems. Here we
are trying to solve a problem that clearly impacts the entire city of Meridian. We have a
social obligation you and I as builders and developers to help solve those problems. We
have a groundwater problem in terms of houses with water in their crawl spaces now we
are striving to indicate what height they should be built not less than a mile from here i
built a home on Ten Mile Road where we had groundwater at 3 feet in the trenches when
we dug the well, it was 102 feet deep. The top of the well comes 3 feet to 42 inches above
the surface of the ground, the water pressure in the ground well come with above the
ground level so we were within 2 feet of the top of the well. The cost of that well was
$4,000 including a one horse pump. If you can't get surface irrigation here you can
certainly do in a 100 lots for $4,000 the cost of a well to pressurize a system is not a whole
lot of money per lot. There is more than one way to solve the problem and to help solve
the city of Meridian's problems in terms of this particular issue. It can be done by surface
water, there is flexibifity Nampa Meridian has stated that they will work with folks, try to do
pressurized irrigation systems so that there is the split head issue. Maybe it doesn't take
a full head of water to service this thing. There is the issue of a surface well and there are
lots of possibilities to be explored here to solve the problem. I have personally been
convinced in the conduct of my business that there is no problem that is not solvable if we
look for ways to solve them we will find a way. I think that can be done here and I echo
the Mayor's comments from the standpoint that at some point we have to start and we are
starting now because we have to solve bigger issues. And it may look like an imposition
and I am sure it is an imposition but the point is we have to solve the problem and let's
start solving it now. I for one am not willing to even though it doesn't cost you more money
or the developer, it ultimately cost be the builder because I am the o~e that pays the ticket
in terms of the lot price. I am willing to pay that price and have several times. And so that
part of ine says that is okay to pay it. The other part of ine says I have a social obligation
as a citizen to help solve these other problems so that other folks don't have water in th~ir
crawl space and they come to the City trying to solve their problems. We can help and
start and get those things solved long term. Jim my vote is going to be not to grant a
reversal.
Kingsford: To answer your question, certainly Jim this council is always receptive, come
back in and if you can't do it we want to see. And there are something that can't be done.
Tolsma: I think Nampa Meridian Irrigation will give assistance (inaudible).
Kingsford: Time for a vote I guess, what is the Council's feeling?

ITEM #9: MIKE MACGOWAN: ADVERTISING SIGN:
Kingsford: Mike, come forward and make your pitch.
MacGowan: My name is Mike MacGowan and I like at 15541 Orchard Avenue in Caidwell.
I operate a business called Read Inc. and I sell billboard advertising and 1 just wanted to
pass around an example of a photo of one of the locations with a client that I have, Lee
Reed Jewelers. And I have talked to a number of you in regards to this issue and also in
relation to a piece of property I own and better description it lies just adjacent to the
freeway on the north side of the road. It is kind of befinreen where the new law
enforcement building is. It is approximately 850 feet long and it kind of varies in its width
but it is not a very wide piece of property. What I want to try to do is merge the fact that
we have this piece of property and try to find a way that I can provide some type of sign
on it like the ones I have been building in the area. I've laid out some of the ideas that I
have come up with and ways that we can interpret and take these issues. I am not going
to read through the whole letter again, but I want to reiterate a couple of points. First of
all I have laid out some of the history and why things have happened and kind of my
interpretation. One of the problems that we have seen is that there was kind of a change
in the interpretation of the ordinance and whether it was overlooked or a new loo~C at
things. It has kind of created a hardship on my end of being a small businessman because
we did purchase this piece of property for the purpose of doing billboards and I realize for
a variance it is not a hardship case if you can point to a non-conforming use. I think the
problem I have is in terms of not being able to lobby and go through the public hearing
process and what not and when there is a change in the ordinance. If we are notified and
what not we have the ability to come in and make ourselves heard. So, what I've kind of
laid out here is an interpretation that would allow me to accomplish this goal and at the
same time this property develops along side the corporate parks out there that it will move
from being a vacant piece of property that is almost a 1,000 feet long to being something
that would provide my business as well as going back and doing some landscaping so it
become an intrigual part of the gateway to the city. So I've kind of laid out an idea of what
i
Meridian City Council
May 17, 1994
Page 28
•
might work in terms of an on premise billboard where you would have the sign company
on the property and then it has signs. I've laid out my argument in terms of when does
a logo become advertising and so forth, using the coke and Pepsi ideas you would find in
a supermarket ad. And then also taking a look at in terms of these billboards that I put up.
This Lee Reed board that I have done for the jewelry business and if I were to build a sign
campany and put up my own sign that says Read Inc. type billboards I can't nearly the
dramatic effec#, the full effect of an advertiser such as Lee Reed jewelers a local company
that supports my business showing that I am an honest and good businessman to have
this type of client as part of my repetoir. It would be hard for me to have the same type of
(inaudible) that we sell billboards type of stock ad. So, I would hope that can come up with
some sort of an on premise billboard that would also allow us to show off some of our
customers and the new products that are available. This particular picture that I laid out
is something kind of state of the art that allows us to do full pictorial graphics using a
computer generated picture.(End of Tape). So, anyway it is (inaudible) to physically print
on this new vinyl material which is becoming quickly the new standard. Along with that we
have kind of changed over the years from having wooden structures with paper that tends
to peel and fall off. Something that looks very professional and a structure which is the
uni-pole or monopole design which kind of fits in with existing commercial and industrial
activities where these signs tend to be located. So, what I am trying to come up with is a
way that would allow me to use this and develop the piece of property and in terms of an
on premise requirement for a billboard I would kind of suggest that one of the requirements
be that its owned property by the advertising company and this prevents anybody from
going in and leasing like a regular billboard location. And number 2 that primary use of
the property would be for signs that way you couldn't say well I've got one use on the
property and I want to put up a billboard, so you have to have the primary use. And then
also to have one business location per company, so if I developed this location I couldn't
buy another parcel on Fairview or Franklin or first street and say I also wanted to have my
business on those locations as well. So, it would allow for the possibilities of local
business to advertise and also prohibit the proliferation of new signage. So, those are kind
of the ideas I had I just wanted to meet with you and do this in a formal setting in terms of
finding out what type of attitudes were here on the Council and be able to address and
work with you in any way I can. In order to address your concems and be able to try to
develop my small business.
Kingsford: ~IVhere is your office located?
MacGowan: I basically just work out of my home out at the Orchard Avenue location. And
everything I have done thus far has been contracted.
Kingsford: It is a tremendous stretch to call that your business address without a building
or phone you can answer and so forth. I think our whole intent as I hark back to that
•
Meridian City Council

ordinance construction was that it would avoid that sort of thing. Certainly that is a Council
decision but as you indicated in your letter we did deny exactly the same type of
application on the same property probably 3 or 4 years ago. Some of the Council
members were present and voted on that issue.
Yerrington: On the south side of the freeway.
MacGowan: The property that I own is on the north side and we hit on that one prior
developing on the south side. This is presently an undeveloped piece of property.
Yerrington: How long have you owned it?
MacGowan: I'm not sure of the exact date, it was actually my fathers first when he was
president of Idaho Outdoor, the advertising company out of Boise. I think it was, we
moved up here in 1982, so it must have been in the early 80's that it was purchased.
Morrow: I have a question, in terms of this property is almost 850 long and how wide?
MacGowan: It varies, it is like 50 to 100 feet in width. It has never been surveyed and it
is kind of a remanent piece of property. Parts on the south side were where the mobile
home lots are and the interstate came right through it.
Morrow: And how many signs would you propose to put on that one piece of property?
MacGowan: I am willing to look at whatever is feasible. I am kind of working with Hon
development in terms of what kind of access and rights I can get through them. I have
been kind of looking at 1 or 2, but 2 would be the most because I would also be falling
under State Jurisdiction as well.
Morrow: And a final question, and I don't know how this applies, how does the Lady Bird
Johnson Highway Beatification thing apply? I thought that applied to signs along the
freeway.
MacGowan: Yes, the requirement is basically that billboard signs were a legitimate use
and they should be developed in commercial and industrial areas. But what they tried to
do is remove them from the residential and farming, agricultural areas. So, this being part
of a corporate park would be something that would meet and that is why we have the State
jurisdiction as well. The Transportation Department follows those federal guidelines.
Kingsford: What, as I look at your proposal, what is to stop a business like Mountain View
or any other property owner along the freeway using your guidelines to sell 10 feet by 50
• •
Meridian City Council
May 17, 1994
Page 30
feet of land on #heir property line at a handsome price to billboard advertisers. I think we
are opening up a real can of worms here that I am not sure the Council is (inaudible) to
deal with.
MacGowan: May I address those issues, first of all Mountain View Equipment is still to my
knowledge in the County.
Kingsford: So, your argument is invalid because that is also in the County.
MacGowan: Well, in that respect they can still do what they want to, but that is why 1 laid
out the requirements of having to own fhe piece of property. You don't find that most of
the time advertising biltboard companies go out and purchase property. They are mostly
in the business of leasing, I work for ldaho Outdoor and leased all over the entire state.
We bought maybe a couple of pieces of property over the whole time I was working. So
that is not a common thing to have the ownership of the property and then having some
kind of requirement for having a shop or business or whatever it requires or what
requirement is made to be the advertising facility. The commercial use itself in addition
to the billboard itself so that it is physically an on premise. And then having the primary use
as well. I think by your own restrictions in terms of plats and covenants and so forth that
the piece of property can only be divided up so many times, legally anyway. Somebody
is probably not going to divide it for a small piece of property for a billboard.
Kingsford: It depends on how lucrative it is.
MacGowan: That is it, and as faced with things as the Lady Bird Johnson Act and so forth
we have to come up with unique ways of trying to find new locations when it is kind of
tightened up. It is kind of a blessing for our industry because we found that, and I talked
to the Transportation Department on this that in the past we used to have a lot of Mom and
Pop type signs, 90% or somewhere in that neighborhood of all the billboards before the
act were done by individuals and now it is the exact opposite. Probably 99°~ to 95% are
all done by billboard companies and it has caused up to clean up the industry. If we can't
sell something, then we tear it down because it is going to help promote our image.
FEingsford: I think the Lady Bird Johnson Beautification program was probably government
at its worst. I don't disagree with Lady Bird, but we spent millions and millions of dollars
nationwide knodcing down billboards that they went back up. The belfinray in Washington
D.C. right on the same site that they chopped down signs and they were laying there they
put up new ones, I'm not sure I understand the logic there. Counselor, I think probably
your interpretation of his views of our ordinance. I think it is a real stretch, I can't believe
Council can do that without a variance. What is your opinion?

Crookston: Need to be on site, need to be where your operation is.
MacGowan: That is what I am proposing that, and that is why I talked about the issue of
having a coca-cola ad on the front of a convenient store or grocery store. In reality you
are not manufacturing the product on site so it is a relationship and that is what the
ordinance speaks to is a relationship. Even if you look at a lot of these give aways and
contests and so forth and on it we are kind of in trouble on both ends because we try to
do the advertising but on the back of the card it says like for a manufacturer like coca-cola
or something that could be an advertisers that says that the advertisers that provide
advertising are part of the company and are not allowed to participate in the contest. So
Kingsford: If I may, Counselor can I have your opinian?
Crookston: I don't think that is on site advertising what you are talking about. It would be
my opinion that it is not.
Kingsford: Is the Council interested in issuing a waiver?
Morrow: We have been all the way around this and I am a little confused as to what it is
that we are exactly after.
Kingsford: Welf, our ordinance says that you cannot have off premise signs period. If you
look out at the home, mobile home factory they have a sign. If you look at coca-cola they
have a sign, Westem State Equipment has a sign. They are on premise where their place
of business is. What Mr. MacGowan is proposing that is his place of business, even
though it is just a sign. What Counselor has said is that it is not and you have to have a
business location that people can reach you at.
MacGowan: Well, that is also what I wanted to address was to build, what it would take
to be a minimum requirement, making an office building, making a sign business on site.
Kingsford: I think clearly you can do that if you build a building that meets the code, and
if you then meet the uniform sign code in your sign. Then we are not even having this
discussion.
MacGowan: Well, that is why I came here because that was more the avenue that I
wanted to pursue. Because there are things like storage lots and so forth that are
permitted uses under the zone, I wanted to find out at point do my displays become off
premise advertising and I think that is what Wayne Crookston is also addressing too.
Kingsford: I think if you put something like this up that says this is Read Inc. I think then
• •
Meridian City Council

Page 32
it is on premise. When you are advertising somebody else even though you make the
code designation I don't think that meets the guide line. Well, I guess what I am looking
for is to find out when the dividing line comes in. As an example I was witness to
something that happened up in the Spokane area. They had a location that was not, didn't
meet the State guidelines for spacing between billboards but yet it was a very valuable
space on the main thoroughfare. So, it just happened that it was an existing building
marquis, facade or whatever it was and they wanted to develop it for off premise type
advertising, what you would normally sell as a billboard. And what they did is come back
and say we leased out the coat closet and put in a telephone and as long as they say the
vaice of the Spokane Indians.
Kingsford: We are not interesting in splitting hairs here, I don't think. {s Council prepared
to make a decision?
Morrow: I think my only comment would be when it comes to billboards for example I think
the Western States and Arnold Machinery and all of those things are legitimate signs
advertising legitimate businesses. To take a 50 wide, 850 foot parcel, if you want to build
a business in there with all the inherent out buildings that you manufacture signs so on
and so forth then sure you have a sign there saying this is the home of Read Inc., but I
think that what we are talking about here is clearly splitting hairs and quite frankly I am not
willing to consider any waiver of past Council's decisions concerning that. I would support
the decision I think it is well founded. That is how I feel about it.
Tolsma: We had this same discussion in the past across the freeway and it got turned
down (inaudible) if we rufe favorably in someone else's (inaudible).
Morrow: I would move that we not approve a waiver.
Yerrington: Second
Kingsford: Moved by Walt, second by Max to not approve a waiver in favor of Read Inc
billboard advertising, all those in favor? Opposed?

ITEM #10: GAINELLE MASSOTH: GROWTH AND EXPANSION:
Massoth: I'm a little bit nervous, so what I would like to do first is introduce myself. My
name is Gainelle Massoth and I have been involved in the real estate industry in Idaho for
the last 91/2 years. The first 5 years of that 1 was in Twin Falls, my husband's company,

real estate in 1990. In January of 1993 I went to work for Ada County as an assessor, as
an appraiser and 1 was assigned Meridian. So since January of 1993 I have appraised
over 1500 houses that have gone on the tax roles in your town. I also am a citizen of this
town. So 1 guess I don't know how I am speaking to you tonight whether I am speaking
to you as a wife or a mother, or as a realtor or as an appraiser. But, I have some concerns
that I would just like to share with you that I have seen, 1 don't believe they are being taken
care of and I think for a while I myself didn't notice them. The longer I am in my car driving
your streets the more they are coming to my attention. And that is the fact that none of the
subdivisions that are going in are there any little community parks being placed. There are
hundreds of families with thousands of children moving into Meridian on a daily basis. But
none of the developers, the only one that I can tell you contemporarily that is doing
anything of that nature is one called Kastle Falls the legal name of it is Valerie Subdivision,
has put in a volleyball court. But I suspect that children will not be welcome with adults
ptaying in that situation. At some time in the past and I believe the third or 4th phase of
Sunnybrook, Max Boesgier did put in a small park and in my travels which are about once
a week I go by there I can tell you that it is often used. I don't know if you are fami{iar with
this park, it is on Chateau Avenue and consists of a few swings, a picnic table. I would like
to strongly suggest to you as the Council of this town that you start requesting, begging,
charging whatever the developers to donate some land for small parks within these
subdivisions. It seems the least that they can do. The other thing that I would like to talk
to you about are the entryway to subdivisions, there seems to be a proliferation of cedar
fencing in Meridian, Idaho unlike I have never seen. I think that in 5 years we are going
to have some ugly entryways to subdivisions and I would like to suggest that something
more permanent be put up by developers in the entryways to subdivisions. Even higher
berms with grass on it is better than fences that are warping and falling apart. I don't want
to be specifrc and name call because I don't want to offend anybody that might live in one
subdivision or another. But there are some subdivisions that are less than 3 years old, but
the fences are already in pretty bad shape. If you go out Cherry Lane you will find some
that are older than that that look pretty miserable. So my suggestion to the Council is that
you would require more of developers in terms of the entryways of the subdivisions. I think
that the only subdivision that I feel has a permanent entryway at least in my opinion is
Valeri Subdivision. The brick may not be to my liking but I think in terms of permanence
it is more perrnanent than any of the subdivisions in the City of Meridian at this time. Bu#
I think, getting back to the other issue, I know no one is going to have to vote on what I am
saying so I am mixing things here. Getting back to the issue of the parks, I drive these
subdivisions on a daily basis and I see small children with nowhere to go and nothing to
do. I think an idle mind is the devil's workshop and I honestly believe that we are going
to either pay now or pay later. There is also one other issue and that is I have seen no
new baseball diamonds. And I can't understand with all of the thousands of lots that are
either there now or on the drawing board now why some of this cannot be required of
developers to give back to the community. If you have any questions in regard to anything

that I might know in my capacity as an appraiser, otherwise I guess 1 have said my peace.
Kingsford: Questions for Gainelle?
Morrow: No I don't have any questions, I have some comments.
Kingsford: Your points are very well taken and I am sure Mr. Morrow will make some
comments similar to mine. There are others, while you haven't seem them yet that are on
line. We will be adding ball fields this summer at Linder just north of Cherry Lane. We will
be adding at a developers expense soccer field of not exactly everyone's satisfaction of
dimensions that will be taking place. Our new comprehensive plan does call out and we
are trying to get parks strung throughout the city and its area of impact. So, we are
certainly sympathetic to the views that you have. Certainly the idle mind is a devil's
workshop, 1 deal with a lot of devil's workshops in the daytime and I understand exactly
what you are saying. And we can't get too many ball fields, soccer fields, tennis courts
and so on I don't think. I think we either buiid those today or we build jaiis tomorrow.
Massoth: Exactly, you see my point is that even if it is just a lot, 10,000 square foot lot
where you can put a couple of swings and a teter tot. I mean I think in some of the small
developments it may be unrealistic to ask for much more than that. In my experience as
a realtor I can tell you that the money that these folks are making right now is enormous.
The money that the people that are selling the land to the developers is also enormous.
And it just seems to me that in some small way that the least that they can get back to the
community is something for our children.
Kingsford: Thank you very much, Mr. Morrow your comments.
Morrow: I have a couple comments, one is that we are currently in the process of doing
and fairly close to accomplishing impact fees that will take into consideration parks and
recreation. The other thing is with respect to and it is kind of catch 22, but as you well
know as a realtor appraiser we are now entry level houses of $90,000 . Quite candidly
that is not the demand poll inflation that got there to the $90,000 it is cost push inflation
that has been created by all levels of government over the last 10 years. If in entry level
subdivisions for example if we are forcing set asides of ground and driving up the cost at
$90,000 today to get into an entry level house there is no way that a young couple coming
out of college can even qualify for the house. So they have been doomed to apartment
living basically for the remainder of their lives. Kids that come out of trade schools do not
have the opportuni#ies that all of us in this room have had in terms of owning single family
housing. We have done that by legislating into housing way too much cost. And so there
is a balancing line somewhere. And it is nice to get those little one and 2 lot green areas
when and if we can. But from our perspective we have to balance across and also try to

u
see that come somewhat close to keeping housing affordable. At the rate we are going
it is not going to be affordable for the vast majority of kids that are growing up today.
Massoth: Well, you know I guess the problem I have is that I feel like what I am talking
about shouldn't drive up cost anywhere, it should come out of he developers pocket, not
out of the builders pocket, not out of the buyers pocket, out of the developers pocket. That
should be something that he should have to give back to the community. The impact fees
by and large are not being paid by the developers isn't that right they are paid by the
builders.
Morrow: Ultimately everything is paid by the buyer of the property. Generally as you well
know it is done by supply and demand. And all of our projects are sold and priced based
on not our cost but on supply and demand sets the market vatue or the market price at
which we sell stuff. And so quite candidly and what really happens is that those profits dip
down below a certain level we no longer build a certain project. So, in a free society there
is no way that we can force a developer or anyone else to set a certain price on his
product, nor can we force the farmer who has struggled for 40 years at farming a piece in
this area, 40 acre dirt that goes in 4 different fields to sell for a certain price so that it
makes a park affordable. It is a free economy. I am sympathetic to what you are saying,
I agree with what you are saying, but probably the best way we are going to be able to
accomplish that is through impact fees. And the other thing is that in the Boise area the
large areas that have major parks with recreational facilities were all donated pretty much
by industry titans, they were never ever put in place at the taxpayers expense.
Massoth: But I am not talking about big parks, I am talking about little 1 acre, 1 lot 10,000
square foot, a 1/4 of an acre of less and if you look not to Boise but to Nampa they have
done that quite successfully and I thing that might be. I think the vision that they have
shown there as far as their pressurized irrigation system I was glad to see you fellows take
the posture that you did but Nampa has in some small way lead the way as having that
requirement many years ago. And i feel that they have also done the same thing of
developers in subdivisions in requiring them to set aside land, but I have personally
appraised over 15~ houses and I have not seen one thing go in for children. My children
are grown so I don't have a personal need, but as a citizen of this community I have to seal
that at some point somebody other than the taxpayer and other than the buyer it seems
to me it should be the guy making the profit should be compelled in some way to give
some~hing back to the community.
Morrow: The final deal is though that the buyer always pays in our society.
Massoth: Thank you

ITEM #11: GENE SHANKS: MERIDIAN SENIOR CITIZENS ASSOCIATION
FUNDRAISING:
Sh~nks: Thank you Mr. Mayor and Councilmen, I will just hand out one of these so you
can read them at your convenience. I was here about a year ago if you remember me, this
was on the bingo and we have accomplished a good fundraiser with the bingo. We
incorporate in our building fund approximately $300 a month to our building fund for the
summer over there. Which at the time here about 2 months ago we came across and
bought the property next to us from the Overtons, you probably read it in the Valley News.
The property had been under negotiation for approximately 3 or 4 years and final{y Mimi
Overton who owned it said that the center had first choice. So we took advantage of that
and she put it to the real estate people and if we decided not to buy they were going to sell
it to someone else. We took advantage of it because as you know the Meridian area is
growing so much and we have accumulated so many of our people from West Boise and
Meridian to our senior center. We have increased if you notice in some of these programs
that 1 have given you we have increased 30°~ since last April. So we are in the process
now of trying to expand our center and we've dam near depleted most of our money that
we have had in the last 3 years to buy that property. So we are looking forward from
Meridian City Council and the Mayor here can help us as we are looking for some
fundraisers. We have one going this Saturday which is a potato baker feed with chili, sour
cream and everything. And luckily Mr. Simplot potato farmer donated potatoes to our
cause. So that helps us there and the chili feed will be from noon to 3:00 and will cost
approximately $4.~. Also we have a rafFle, one of the seniors at the center donated a hind
quarter of beef, which weighs approximately 130 pounds. Albertson's here at Meridian
and Cherry Plaza donated 2$50 gift certificates to our cause for a donation. And one of
the people at the center donated a smoked Alaskan salmon. And so what we are looking
for at the center is a fundraiser and this is one of them that we came up with in fact I think
our members of the board here Dale Ryan has had the chili feed about 4 years ago, longer
than that, anyway it made about $900. So that goes into our building fund too. And that
property next door, luckily we came off, I called the Ada County Commissioners, they are
going to grade that property off for us free of charge. Bumbte bee sand and gravel is going
to donate some gravel to put on it the only thing we have to come up with is a paving and
we are iooking in the neighborhood of around $4,000 to have that paved. We would like
to get it paved by next fall before the big rains come in maybe or the snow. Anyway, like
I said we need your help and if you can help us in anyway we would really appreciate it
I tell you. Also, 1 guess we have to go to Ada County Highway District for the meridian
streets?

Shanks: Well, in fact here a few months ago we put in a new phone system over in that
Meridian Senior Center, we had one phone in that center and it was tied up. Every time
a senior would call in to come in to be picked up as you know we pick up seniors in
Meridian we also deliver meals on wheels in Meridian. And we are getting to the point
where we have probably 33 or 35 meals a may delivered in Meridian to meals on wheels.
We also pick up on the average 8 to 10 people a day. When these people call and they
must call by 10:00 or we cannot pick them up for lunch at 12:00 noon. The line was tied
up so anyway we had 3 bids on the outside for a new phone system, well we picked At&T
which seems to be the best, the warranty went the longest. Again the Ada County
Commissioners donated $1,000 to our phone system. Our phone system cost $2,300 so
1 went back in at lunch time one day and 1 asked for donations, believe it or not t got the
rest of the donations in 2 days to pay for that phone system from the seniors and I thought
that was exceptionally well done. That is what we need is either donation or pledges for
our center to continue building. Because it really is growing, we seat on the average of
160 to 170 people a day. And our limit over there is 212 people and last week we had
turkey and 1 think we had 226 people so we had to sit them out in the (inaudible), if you
have every been over there you know how the center is set up. Anyway we are talking
now on that lot we bought we hope in the next year or 2 to expand 80 more feet out to the
south side by the alley way there by the center in which will seat another hundred people.
And that is what we need, we are really growing. We are getting people (inaudible) they
feed twice a week, Eagle feeds twice a week and Star feeds finrice a week, and we are
picking all those people up those 3 days that they don't feed. And we feed 5 days a week,
here a year or so ago we only fed them 4. And you will see a menu in there and it is
exceptionally well I tell you. And we are all, most of us are going to be senior here before
long. But anyway, I would appreciate it if you could help our center out.
Kingsford: I am certainly going to try and make your chili feed, I hate to miss a meal.
Shanks: Another thing 1 want to bring up it was brought up at our last board meeting I
believe, we don't have a sprinkler system in our center and with the seniors averaging
between 65 and 93 we are talking about a sprinkler system. Again we are talking dollars
• •
Meridian City Council
May 17, 1994
Page 38
and cents. We are talking in the average around $30,000 to $35,000 for a sprinkler
system. And I know if we expand that center out to the side there is going to be
requirements, building code is going to say you must have a sprinkler system. And I
believe that to be period. That is another thing we have to come up with and consequently
we own the center lock stock and barrel plus the land next to us and we do need help from
Meridian, believe me we need it. I thank you, if there are any questions I would I~ more
than happy to answer them.
Morrow: The only thing I can tell you is in terms of govenmentally 1 think that we as a
council will do anything we can to help you, open any doors that we can. Individually I'm
sure Grant can eat plenty of chili.
Shanks: I believe Mayor you are on our executive committee, in fact 1 am planning on
calling one next month to see if we can get some, I think Mark Freeman, the Valley News
is sold so I will have to get somebody else, that is what we need is help from our executive
committee atso.
Kingsford: I would suggest to you Gene that we maybe try to start the same type of thing
we did when you got that building purchased in the first place. Particularly when we go
into the expansion of the building. You are right, and it is probably most appropriate to
sprinkle the thing. The size of it, and the age of the people, at my age I don't know that
1 would get out ahead of a fire. So, I think we ought to look at that again, because I know
#he Council members and myself at that time, I believe all of pledged to give $1,000 and
we (inaudible) that debt fairly rapidly. Maybe that is the type of thing we need to go into
again, major fundraisers and so on particularly when you are ready to build. (Inaudible)
I think we can probably get that don~, I know Mr. Fikus was over really finristing arms over
at the Chamber of Commerce, I bought a bunch of raffle tickets.
Shanks: We had quite a problem with the EPA too on removing that house. That house
was built probabiy in the early 40's moved and I believe in 2 or 3 different sections. And
they found some, they claim some asbestos in the bathrooms and we had to remove that.
And Mr. Ryan and I removed that and I took it to the land ~II and they disposed of it in a
hazardous waste are. We had to take all of the inside wood off of all the windows, lead
paint. And finally you are talking in the neighborhood of the analysis and everything came
close the $1,000. (Inaudible) paid half of it and we paid the other half, then it cost us
$2,700 to take the building to the land fill.
Yerrington: Should have burned it down.
Shanks: We tried to, I went to the Chief and he said no way. It is too close to the center,
I don't want to burn the center down. Anyway, do our members have any questions for the
• .

City Council?
Kingsford: Every year you guys come in we are all that much closer.
Shanks: I would like to come in another year from now, please come over to the center
and have lunch some day, you witl enjoy it. Wayne I know you will enjoy it.
Ki~gsford: It has been a while since I've been over and I have enjoyed it.
Shanks: One thing I want to bring up is the 24th, a Tuesday I believe we have a meeting
wit Weiser, Alan (inaudible) will come down and he is looking for some answers to
questions from the City Council or the Mayor or business people in Meridian. This meeting
is at 1:00 and this is grant money for 1995 and 1996. So, if we can have some input from
people in Meridian, business people or the Council and Mayor this will help us get money
from Weiser. As of now we get July 1 st a new contract for 1995, will be a Title 5 position
for a dispatchec which we do not have at the time. We do have a driver, before this it was
paid out of the center. And now Weiser has given us grant money for a dispatcher and a
driver and a janitor. And that really helps us, if we lose that we are really going to be
hurting. Because we really don't have that much money in the maintenance and operation
to pick up 3 hired people for 4 hours a day a piece. So, if you people can come over on
the 24th at 1:00 and hear this input and maybe, I know they are going to ask questions,
and you can answer a lot of them for us too. And I would really appreciate it if some of you
people can come over and help us out on that. Thank you very much.
Kingsford: Thank you
ITEM #12: PINE STREET SCHOOL AGREEMENT:
Kingsford: Counselor would you address that please.
Crookston: That agreement I drafted with a minor change by Mark Freeman for the School
District. The change from what I drafted and what had been before some of you was in
the termination of the agreement. It is in the last paragraph, originally it was set up for a
year term and that it had to be renewed at the end of the year. The way this is set up it
just runs perpetually until it is terminated by one of the parties. That is the only change
that was made in the agreement that I initially drafted up that Grant reviewed. I think it
fairly sets forth the agreement that was discussed between myself and Grant and Doug
Routan.
Kingsford: To jog your memory Council that is the City's Centennial lasting legacy, a
cooperative agreement between the school district and ourselves. I think it very fairly lays

Stiles: Mr. Mayor, Councilmen, I wish I had this development agreement ready for you
to review tonight, unfortunately it is not finalized. I need to work with Gary Smith on some
items on the well site with Summertield and work with Wayne Crookston. I just wanted to
request if the Council would approve the major signing and having it attested to by Will
once Wayne Crookston and Gary Smith and I have had the opportunity to final it out. I
think you have all received draft copies.
Kingsford: 1 did, I guess the Council has not.
Stiles: I will get you a copy. Just because he has his plat recorded now for phase 1 and
he is going to come in for building permits and we have been putting him off and putting
him off. I was hoping we wouldn't have to wait until the next Council meeting to get that.
KingsFord: I think that is probably not unacceptable to Council. If they would like to review
that and come in and give me information we can still work that back and forth before I
sign a copy if you are comfortable with that.
Tolsma: What are we talking about, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
Kingsford: Unless there is a change, if you are uncomfortable with that we shoot it back
and it might be that it would be passed at the next meeting, it might be that it is satisfactory
to you.

Morrow: Let me offer the only comment that I can offer is that we talked earlier seriously
about those folks having it so that we addressed those agreements in a public forum. I
don't think it makes a lot of sense even though there are no public here with some
exceptions for us to go against our own concept. This being the first one through it seems
to me like and I don't doubt everyone's competency in terms of reviewing the thing. It
seems to me like we ought to set our own example and press forward with the thing and
have it brought b~efore the Council at the ne~ meeting as an example to the other folk that
may be showing up as to how to do it. What good does the object lesson do if we are not
going to do the object lesson. And if we put it on display as a presentation of here is a
development agreement and here is an example of what takes place. Those are my
thoughts.
Kingsford: Any discussion?
Tolsma: Sounds good
Kingsford: Well, it is 2 out of 3, if you want to make a motion do so.
Tolsma: Is this a problem on their part for not drawing up a development agreement or
is it a problem on our part for not doing it?
Stiles: It is really a problem on our part because we have taken on the responsibility to
these development agreement. You know as Wayne Forrey talked about tonight, it really
be better for us if they approached us with the development agreement. We can give them
the basic outline and then they address specific requirements as they come up during the
development process. But to have to approach the Council with each specific
development agreement is going to be really time consuming I think. I think if the Council
can look at the base that has been prepared by Wayne Crookston and if the have any
specific concerns on a project to let us know that, but basically Gary Smith and I and
Wayne Crookston are going to be the ones that have to hammer this out to incorporate all
the comments and all of the provisions during the development process.
Morrow: Shari, 1 think that document ought to be, at least in general ought to be part of
the presentation at the final plat approval hearing so that in our package we've got all the
information plus a draft of the proposed development agreement. So that we know exactly
what we are voting for.
Stiles: This final plat has been approved and recorded.
Tolsma: (Inaudible) the final plat is already done (inaudible).

Morrow: I understand that Ron, what I am proposing is more symbolic in nature. I am not
opposed to issuing building permits and letting those folks get off to a start. But I do think
for the first development agreement coming down the pike that we ought to approve that
in the public arena as an example of what we are after.
Kingsford: You are telling staff that they can go ahead and issue building permits?
Morrow: I think what I am after here is that if #hey get everything hammered out and in
principle the agreement is done and our interests are protected than issue the building
permits and bring the document before us at the next meeting, we review the document
and approve it and that way we have set the example of how it is we as a city want to do
this.
Kingsford: I guess the only problem with that is you are saying exactly the same thing, you
are saying go ahead and do it and it might be satisfactory later.
Tolsma: Well, we haven't even seen a draft of it yet.
Yerrington: Well, couldn't we see a draft of it and give our approval individually?
Kingsford: Well, that is what I am proposing that you do that and Walt's comments were
very well founded in terms of public meeting, I don't disagree with that. I do have some
concern about this one, this has been dragging along and I think largely this one is our
fault. I think probably what we should have done, if everybody has 20/20 hindsight is we
should have done what Mr. Forrey is (inaudible) that is you develop an agreement, we sign
off on it and have it here for the final plat. We were treading new water on that ! don't
think that Boise or others have done that in the past. It is an excellent concept this is
where we start with it.
Morrow: Well, its not the article that Wayne is working on as the general format for that,
I mean the body but not the specifics of the development agreement proposal.
Crookston: Right, its the body of it.
Kingsford: ! think that the nuts and bolts of the thing though have been discussed in the
public arena in that sense and what Shari is going to get from that and Gary is those
comments that were held in the public hearing. The requirements the Council placed on
it and so forth and 1 think those need to be incorporated in the document so that we have
a binding agreement with them. Whatever you guys are most comfortable with I certainly
don't disagree with.

Crookston: The only comment that I have is and I don't know that is going to occur in
Summerfield, but the question that rises in my mind is are we going to require something
in that development agreement that imposes a hindrance, say a house is built or started,
a foundation is layed and we want something to be put in where that is?
Kingsford: I didn't understand that, that must have been an University of Idaho thing that
you said there.
Crookston: Let ri~e back up, let's say we go ahead and issue a building permit and then
we decide that we really need this in that space such as a sewer easement and they have
to take out the foundation.
Kingsford: Well, I think that is not a real good appraisal because Gary has already
reviewed the sewer and all the utilities, we know where those are at. That has been done
before that plat was ever signed off. What we are talking about here is soccer fields and
a whole variety of other things that came up in that public hearing.
Tolsma: It specifies in this draft that the soccer field (inaudible)
Kingsford: I think it says its dimension and a whole range of things.
Stiles: All of the items in that would have been either in the findings of fact or within the
ordinance annexing and zoning it or in minutes of the City Council meeting.
Tolsma: But they specify what lots its supposed to be and what phases?
Stiles: Yes, I don't think it would be a problem on this one, there are some development
agreements pending that the only thing we have left holding over their head is no building
permit until this is done. But I don't think there is a problem with this particular one.
Kingsford: I think what we have been discussing in the department meeting and so forth
is the logical approach and that is we get our checklist and development agreement is part
of that thing before you submit. That is how you deal with that in the future. I say this one
has been I don't know how long ago but it has been some time that the final plat has been
signed.
Morrow: Well, from my perspective it is whatever Max and Ron think. I think that I have
stated my position that it is symbolic in nature.
Yerrington: I move tha# we give the approval with the Mayor checking with us after we
have had a chance to read this document and sign this at a later date, this week

that starts at, I have to be at 5:15 ready to shave and be at school at 6:00, we have 8
hours so go ahead guys.
Tolsma: I think I would just assume to see this development agreement brought up at the
next Council meeting and discuss it there.
Yerrington: The only trouble there is 3 weeks between now and then, they are waiting for
building permits.
Kingsford: Are you guys comfortable with Walt's comment before, issuing building permits.
Cutting them off if it doesn't.
Yerrington: I would amend my motion that was not seconded to include Walt's suggestion
to allow building permits.
Kingsford: That is not a very good motion because the motion was that we sign it.
Morrow: Okay new motion, we will sign the development agreement pending presentation
at the first meeting in June, in the interim pending satisfaction of our department heads we
will issue building permits for Surr~merField No. 1 after we reviewed the documents.

Kingsford: 1 had asked, we have an emergency and everything was tumbling along I had
asked Mr. Forrey to prepare documentation on our water system. So as to get out and
refurbish well 12. He has made that and has a presentation and I will ask him to make that
presentation.
Forrey: Thank you Mayor, Council, in 1992 I prepared a housing analysis and a water
analysis for the City, you might recall that document. It looked at the capacity of the
system, Boise Water Corporation, Health and Welfare and how they look at capacity. I
have updated that and that is what the Mayor asked me to do and I am going to pass that
out and walk through a few pages quickly. Let's get right to the meat of the issue here,
turn to page 4. You might see some yellow highlighting there, but let me read that
paragraph it is in the middle of the page there. "Based on the housing units already
constructed ad occupied plus units under construction as of May 15, 1994, the City of
Meridian should anticipate providing services to a population of 18,200 residents and
6,695 dwelling units by September 1, 1994." And the rest of that inforrnation above shows
how that was calculated with looking at the current permits, anticipated permits and
analysis with Shari Stiles and Gary on all of the activity. Now if you turn to the next page
5, in summary this is the activity that has happened in Meridian at the City Council since
June of 1992. The first thing is total planned building lots, that is the annexations that
have come in and been approved by the City Council at 1,821 lots. Then we have had
•
Meridian City Council
May 17, 1994
Page 50
•
preliminary plats up to May 1 of this year at 1,407 lots, and then final plats which have
been approved at 1,237 lots. And the next few pages are just a tabulation of all of the
names the number of lots and the dates. And if you would go to page 9, here is some
critical information. You will see all of the municipal wells, there are 9 wells in the City of
Meridian. But you #12, you have a water right for 896 but it is not producing any water at
all. So right now you have a capacity or pumping capability of 6,875 gallons per minute,
when you take it times the number of minutes in a 24 hour period you come of with
9,900,000 gallons that is the maximum water that Bruce Stuart can get out of the ground
right now. Turn to
Morrow: Wayne, why is number 3 out of service?
Forrey: I don't know, Gary Smith, well no. 3?
Smith: That is the well that is at the water department.
Tolsma: That is the one that supplies the water trucks.
Forrey: It is not looped in?
Smith: Well, I think it is but they don't use because, t don't know the reason for it.
Kingsford: It could be used in an emergency.
Smith: It could be used but they don't use it. Primarily they fill water trucks out of it.
Forrey: If you will turn to page 12, item number 3 you will see that the potential water
connections by September 1 of this year in the City of Meridian would be 6,495 and then
September of 1995, a year later given the forecast growth and the number of connections
that would be 7,157. Now if you will turn to page 14, these other tables are arriving that
these figures, you will see the first thing there your current system is just under 10 million
gallons of a capacity. But the way that Boise Water Corporation and the Department of
Health and Welfare recommend that cities calculate true capacity is to remove the largest
well from the system and then determine your capacity based on that. So the assumption
for safety is that if your largest well goes down that is your safety factor. And so when you
factor out then well no. 10 which is your big one, our real here in Meridian is just under 8
million gallons. Now you see what the demand was in 1993, about 8 million gallons, 1994
and these are based on September 1 of this year projections will be 9.3 million and then
September of 1995 will be 10.3 million. So when you look at the capacity balance right
today essentially the City is down one well or almost 1.4 million gallons. So it is gong to
take one well to reach the demand that you have now on the system. And then the 1995
•
Meridian City Council
May 17, 1994
Page 51
number it is 2 wells.
•
Tolsma: I have a question, now is this the (inaudible) and not factoring in the pressurized
irrigation.
Forrey; No, it does not, that is not in the mathematical equation here. And it is not in the
Boise Water Corporation factor either.
Tolsma: If we factored in our pressurized irrigation it would take a percentage off of that.
Forrey: But that is not moving fast enough, we have connections coming like this, and
pressurized irrigation is still kind of out there.
Tolsma: (Inaudible) on line now wouldn't require a many gallons as it did in the past.
Forrey: That is correct
Kingsford: Well, a significant number of those in this year will not (inaudible) that fall in
that category. And further something that I don't think that Wayne's comments here
address that I have some real concern about is putting more water on new lawns. And
people are not going to let those die and our average use is higher than the National
Water Works average use I think. It is critical just using what they are talking about, I think
our problem is even worse yet.
Forrey: Most of what this demand is are approvals that occurred in 1992 and 1993. You
know the things that you are approving tonight witl be in the 1995 calculation. So, most
of that was not subject to pressurized irrigation in terms of approval. Go to page 15, here
is a summary of the findings, most of that on that particular page pertained to the housing
portion of that study, but at the bottom are a couple of things that I feel are critical. First
of all that your current water system is over the safe operating capacity and you don't have
any reserve capacity at all for fire, it is just not there. The last item there is a public
emergency exists in the source system of your water system. The demand has exceeded
your system capacity. On the last page, some recommendations. The most urgent there
are probably the top 2. The first one is that the city needs to immediately rehabilitate well
12 and get that thing on line. You have a well there but it is not anything and you need
that well. And then the 2nd thing is that the city should declare a pubtic emergency and
contract with the water well contractor for emergency repairs as soon as possible. And
then you are still down one other well and you have well 16, well that is one of these other
recommer-dation develop wel{ #16 as soon as possible. And possibly explore we11 #3.
Tolsma: Isn't that supposed to be on line in about a week?

Forrey: Na, that is 15.
Kingsford: We haven't put 16 up for bid yet.
~
Forrey: Given the approvals that have occurred you are going to need well 16 just as soon
as possible, and well 12.
Morrow: Mr. Mayor, I would move that we declare a public emergency and authorize City
Engineer Smith to enter into negotiations with a well rehab person and to authorize you
and the City Clerk to sign that contract post-haste.
Yerrington: Second
Kingsford: Discussion, Mr. Crookston
Crookston: Do you want to declare Mr. Forrey's report as findings and justification for the
emergency?
Morrow: I would add that to the motion.
Kingsford: It has been moved by Walt, second by max to utilize Mr. Forrey's findings as
information justifying and declaring an emergency in our water system authorizing the City
Engineer to contract with a well rehabilitator and move post-haste to correct that well and
authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign that contract, all those in favor? Opposed?
MOTION CARRIED: All Yea
Kingsford: Gary, I might ask where are we at with the licensing and bid documents on well
no. 16? And where is its location, jog my memory, is that the one in what's his name's
property?
Smith: We have the site, I have the bid documents (inaudible).
Kingsford: Is that one that we are going to do a diesel generator on too? What does that
call for in our water plan?
Smith: I think the diesel generator needs to go across the interstate on well (inaudible).
I don't recall if one is required on Well 16 or not.
Kingsford: Well, let's get that moving if you get Mr. Squires moving on that. I would
entertain that motion again.

1. C'urrent Housing Conditions
To obtnin a snapshot vierv of the current housing industry~ cmrl market in Merirlian is like
trying to milk a running co~v... if you can keep up ivith the co~v you cnn get ilze joh clone.
Information from the following sources were used to obtain a snapshot view of the current
housing conditions in Meridian. Where applicable, this information has been updated to May 1,
1994.

• Meridian City Engineer
• Meridian Building Inspector •
• Meridian Water Department . .
• Ada Planning Association ~

Constructed/under construction housin~ units are dwelling units that have been buitt since
April l, 1994 or are units currently being constructed. These units have a 96% probability of
being occupied within 90 days of completion. Vacancy rates in Meridian are extremely low.
(Rental = 3%, Owner = 1.3%) Because of these low vacancy rates, builders report that most
units are pre-sold. If a unit is not sold prior to construction, most sales occur during construction
or within 90 days of completion.
Meridian builders can generally have a typical 1500 square foot home completed within 90
days. With a 90 day after construction carry time, this housing unit will usually be occupied
within 180 days of building permit date. A review o~ current real estate trends indicate that most
Meridian homes are sold and occupied within ] 30 days of the building permit.

• •
Generall}~, most residential buildin~r permits issued up to March 1, 1994 wil] connect to
City utility services within 180 days or by September 1, 1994. Recent buildin~ permit activity is
presented in table 1 below.
Table 1
City of Meridian
Summarized Recent Building Permit Activity - March 1, 1992 to March 1, 1994
Total Dweilin~ Units as of March 1, 1992 = 4,290
Housing Building Permits Balance of 1992 = 730
Housin~ Buildin~ Permits in 1993 = 970
Housing Building Permits Jan l to March 1, 1994 = 280
Total Potential Dwelling Units as of March l, 1994 = 6,270
Anticipated Water Connections for April 1, 1994 to = 225
May 15, 1994
Total Potential Dwelling Units as of May 15, 1994 = 6,495
Note: By September 1, 1994 all 6,495 units are anticipated for occupancy or connection to
City utility services.
Based on the housing units already constructed and occupied plus units under construction
as of May 15, 1994, the City of Meridian should anticipate providing services to a population of
18.200 residents and 6 495 dwelling units by September 1, 1994.
B. Pronosed Units
For tinal plat subdivisions that v~~ere approved .prior to the March 1, 1994 the development
process is moving forward without delay. Developers report that Meridian final plat subdivisions
approved prior to the March 1, ] 994 will ~enerally have lots on the market within the next four
months or by July 1, 1994. Using the l80 day lot to sale/occupancy period, it is reasonable to
expect that any final plat subdivision currently being processed by the City of Meridian (recorded
by July 1, 1994), will require connection to the City utilities by January 1, 1995, or about 8
months from now. Table ?(on the following pages) lists each of the annexations, preliminan~
and final plats that were recently or are currently being processed by the City of Meridian.

ln order to determine impacts to the Meridian water system resulting from recent
bdivision approvals, Boise VVater Corporation, (BWC), U.S. Department of Housing
,d Urban Development, (HUD), and Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, (H&W)
ere consulted.
lnformation provided by each of these agencies in 1992 and again in 1994 helped
;termine reasonable water planning factors which could be applied to Meridians
:uation. Because of the development similarity between Meridian and Boise's West
~nch area, (served by BWC), the water planning factors of BWC were appiied to the
sidential grow-th situation in Meridian.
Based on historical water use in the Boise Water Corp. West Bench service area,
e BWC engineering department uses a water planning value of 1.0 gallons per minute
;pm) per hook-up to calculate an average maximum day of water demand. This value =
~40.
Boise VVater Corporation engineers indicate that the maximum service peak occurs
iy where within these windows: *
4:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. morning peak
7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. evening peak
~ote: There used to be a definite evening peak but automatic sprinklers are now
creatin~ an a.m. peak similar to the evening peak.
Table 4(on the following page) presents water planning information in Meridian
sing existing hood-ups, BWC planning factors and forecast development activity based
n recent construction permits. Th'is information is provided to help determine maximum
ay demand on the Meridian water system with current and proposed building activity.

1. Current registered city connections in meter books = 5,589
2. Lots under construction with taps but no meters = 906
3. Total potential H20 connections (September 1994) = 6,495

1. Total lots in consumption test = 205
2. Average consumption per lot during August 1991 = 47,000
3. Current water connections = 5,589

5. Total estimated connections (Sep 95) ' . = 7,157 "
7,000 residential water connections X 47,000 monthly gallons divided by 30
= 10,960,000 gallons ma~imum daily demand. (This is within 6°/a of BWC value) Shown
in Table 5.
By comparing tables 4, 5 and 6, it is evident that the water planning figure af 1
gallon per minute to determine maximum day demand is applicable to Meridian. A
comparison of forecast maximum day water demand with current system capacity is

*** The Boise Water Corporation determines water system capacity on the basis of the
effect of loosing the largest production well. If standard water service cannot be provided
with the loss of the largest well, then Boise Water Corporation constructs additional wells
and storage facilities. ,
T'he State of Idaho Department of Health and Welfare recommends that communities
develop water systems that have reserve capacity which meet or exceed the capacity of the
avera~e well within the system. The City of Meridian does not meet either the Boise
Water Corporation or ldaho Department of Health and Welfare water system guidelines
for reserve capacity. (Summer Demand)

Findin and Recommendations -~i~c~ate to the 1992 Housing~r c~
VNatPr Utilit~~ Analysis
A. ~or Findin~,~/Conclusions
• Meridian will continue to attract large young families with moderate
incomes. Housing will remain cost effective in Meridian, but costs will
increase.
• Builders will primarily construct 1500 sc~. ft. homes, 3- 3 1/2 bedroom
units. Pressure for smaller lots will increase.
• Meridian rents will increase but remain lov~r compared to Boise City.
• Meridian will likely ~row at 5% to 7% annually during next 3 to S years.
• Approximately 75% of housing will continue to be under $150,000.
• Vacancy rate will remain below 5% (nearly closed rental market)
• Apartment de~°elopment and female headed households will continue to
expand in Meridian.
• Meridian will continue to be less dense than Boise with average gross
density at .80 DU/AC compared to Boise at 1.80 DU/AC.
• The Meridian Housing Ordinance has helped diversify and provide housing
opportunities for all income levels.
• There has been an increase in home ownership in Meridian due to
progressive City development policies to lower construction costs.
• Current water system (source) does not meet Boise ~ Water Corporation or
Idaho Department of Health and ' Welfare recommended reserve capacity
standards ~iven the number of lots expected to connect by September l, 1994.
~ The current water system is ~ safe operating capacity without any
reserve. There is no fire demand reserve capacity.
~~ If Well #10,(1,350 gpm) is shut down for repairs, the City of Meridian
cannot meet maximum daily demand of the existing registered connections.
• A public emergency exists in the City's water source system. Demand and
fire flow have exceeded system capacity.
- I `~ -
, • . ,~
• •
B. Recommen a ions
• Given the critical, urgent need to expand the water system capacity, the
City needs to immediatel~ rehabilitate well number 12 and achieve at least 1,000
gpm to provide basic water service for current customers.
• To immediately rehabilitate well number 12, the City should declare a
public urgency and contract with a water well contractor for emergency
rehabilitation as soon as possible.
• Investigate rehabilitation to well number 3 to help increase fire flow
capacity. ,
• Continue current negotiations with land ~owners..and developers to secure
well sites in all growth areas.
• Develop well number 16 as soon as possible. (1000 gpm or greater needed
to meet 1995 expected, already approved connections)
• Implement an extensive City wide water conservation program during
summer peak months to retain reserve capacity. Recommend AWWA
program including alternate day sprinkling and school awareness pro~rams.
• Implement inexpensive computer tracking program to monitor all
development permits and approvals.
• Update zoning and related ordinances to implement the Comprehensive
Plan update to help citizens and City leaders address growth and related
development issues.

To obtain a snapshot vieiv of the current housing inclustry and market in Meridian is like
trying to milk a running coiv .. if you can keep up with the cow you can get the job done.
Information from the following sources were used to obtain a snapshot view of the current
housing conditions in Meridian. Where applicable, this information has been updated to May 1,
1994.

• Meridian City Engineer
• Meridian Building Inspector

A. ('~nstnacted UrLts
Constructed/under construction housing units are dwelling units that have been built since
April l, 1994 or are units cunently being constructed. These units have a 96% probability of
being occupied within 90 days of completion. Vacancy rates in Meridian are extremely low.
(Rental = 3%, Owner = 1.3%) Because of these low vacancy rates, builders report that most
units are pre-sold. If a unit is not sold prior to construction, most sales occur during construction
or within 90 days of completion.
Meridian builders can generally have a typical 1500 square foot home completed within 90
days. With a 90 day after construction carry time, this housing unit will usually be occupied
within 180 days of building permit date. A review o~ cunent real estate trends indicate that most
Meridian homes are sold and occupied within 130 days of the building permit.
~--3 -
• •
Generally, most residential building permits issued up to March l, 1994 will connect to
City utility services within 180 days or by September 1, 1994. Recent building permit activity is
presented in table 1 below.
Table 1
City of Meridian
Summarized Recent Building Permit Activity - March l, 1992 to March 1, 1994
Total Dwelling Units as of March 1, 1992 - 4,290
Housing Building Permits Balance of 1992 = 730
Housing Building Permits in 1993 - 970
Housing Building Permits Jan 1 to March l, 1994 - 280
Total Potential Dwelling Units as of March 1, 1994 = 6,270
Anticipated Water Connections for April l, 1994 to = 225
May l5, 1994
Total Potential Dwelling Units as of May 15, 1994 = 6,495
Note: By September 1, 1994 all 6,495 units are anticipated for occupancy or connection to
City utility services.
Ba~!~ Qn~the housing units already constructed and occupied plus units under con~tcti~
~ . nen
as of A~i ~ 5, 1994, the City of Meridian shoutd ariricipate providing services to a populatto~ o~
1$,200 residents and 6_495 dwelling units by September 1, I994.
B. Pro~osed Units
For final plat subdivisions that were approved.prior to the March l, 1994 the development
process is moving forward without delay. Developers report that Meridian final plat subdivisions
approved prior to the March 1, 1994 will generally have lots on the market within the next four
month~ or by July 1, 1994. Using the 180 day lot to sale/occupancy period, it is reasonable to
expect that any final plat subdivision currently being processed by the City of Meridian (recorded
by 3uly 1, 1994), will require connection to the City utilities by January 1, 1995, or about 8
months from now. Table 2(on the following pages) lists each of the annexations, preliminary
and final plats that were recently or are currently being processed by the City of Meridian.

In order to determine impacts to the Meridian water system resulting from recent
ibdivision approvals, Boise Water Corporation, (BWC), U. S. Department of Housing
nd Urban Development, (HUD), and Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, (H&W)
ere consulted.
Information provided by each of these agencies in 1992 and again in 1994 helped
etermine reasonable water planning factors which could be applied to Meridians
;tuation. Because of the development similarity between Meridian and Boise's West
.ench area, (served by BWC), the water planning factors of BWC were applied to the
~sidential growth situation in Meridian.
Based on historical water use in the Boise Water Corp. West Bench service area,
he BWC engineering department uses a water planning value of 1.0 gallons per minute
~pm) per hook-up to calculate an average maximum day of water demand. This value =
440.
Boise Water Corporation engineers indicate that the maximum service peak occurs
:ny where within these windows: *
4:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. morning peak
7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. evening peak
Note: There used to be a definite evening peak but automatic sprinklers are now
creating an a.m. peak similar to the evening peak.
Table 4(on the following page) presents water planning information in Meridian
~:sing existing hood-ups, BWC planning factors and forecast development activity based
~n recent construction permits. This information is provided to help determine maximum
lay demand on the Meridian water system with current and proposed building activity.

By comparing tables 4, 5 and 6, it is evident that the water planning figure of 1

This is the equivalent of "one" average Meridian
well ( #7, #10. #14, #15)
Capacity Balance - 1995 = Negative 2,350,080 gallons
This is the equivalent of "TWa" average
Meridian Wells.
*** The Boise Water Corporation determines water system capacity on the basis of the
effect of loosing the largest production well. If standard water service cannot be provided
with the loss of the largest well, then Boise Water Corporation constructs additional wells
and storage facilities. ,
The State of Idaho Department of Health and Welfare recommends that communities
develop water systems that have reserve capacity which meet or exceed the capacity of the
average well within the system. The City of Meridian does not meet either the Boise
Water Corporation or ldaho Department of Health and Welfare water system guidelines
for reserve capacity. (Summer Demand)
~ ~ ~( -
f , ~ • •
B. Recommendations
~ Given the critical, urgent need to expand the water system capacity, the
City needs to immediately rehabilitate well number 12 and achieve at least 1,000
gpm to provide basic water service for current customers.
• To immediately rehabilitate well number 12, the City should de.clare a~
public urgency and contract with a water well contractor for emergency
rehabilitation as soon as possible.
• Investigate rehabilitation to well number 3 to help increase fire flow
capacity.
• Continue current negotiations with land owners and developers to secure
well sites in all growth areas.
s Develop well number 16 as soon as possible. (1000 gpm or greater needed
to meet 1995 expected, already approved connections)
• Implement an extensive City wide water conservation program during
summer peak months to retain reserve capacity. Recommend AWWA
program including alternate day sprinkling and school awareness programs.
• Implement inexpensive computer tracking program to monitor all
development permits and approvals.
• Update zoning and related ordinances to implement the Comprehensive
Plan update to help citizens and City leaders address growth and related
development issues.
