OCTOBER 21, 1985 PAGE # 2• ~ ~ ~ Mayor Kingsford, with regards to this request Councilman Giesler has submitted th~ following written comment, I feel this should be done on ~ a Conditional Annexati.on and Zone change, the home and property should j be annexed and included in the plat, water and sewer should be e.xtended j down Locust Grove Road to end of property,. if these issues are met; I would have no problems with this request. Also we received a letter I dated October 18, 1985 from Mr. Osborn T. Stenberg on this subject which i is to be entered into the record. (These items on file with these minutes) ; Mayor Kingsford, any questions or comments from the Council? ' Councilman Brewer, Mr. Smith what is your thinking on this annexation and ; zoning request, do you still have problems with it? ~ Smith, it is my opinion that the property Mr. & Mrs. Hosac own should be ~ included in the annexation request and as far as I know it.is still part I of the orqinal description that was submitted. I also believe that this I property should be part of the plat. This would reduce their cost for i connection to City water & sewer. It would also insure that water & sewer ' was extended past their property for future extension if something devel- ~ ops to the South.This would make a lot cleaner annexation and allow future ~ splitting of thier property or resubdivision if they chose to sell. ACHD ~ will not allow any lot frontage on Locust Grove Road. i ; Brewer, Mr. Hosac do you have an actual development time table? , I Hosac, No, this would depend on market and that type of thing. I Mayor Kingsford, would you be opposed to a Conditional Annexation, Mr. ~ Hosac, that as such time development starts every thing is go? ~ There was more discussion on the subject of Conditional Annexation. l ; The Motion was made by Tolsma and seconded by Brewer to have the City I Attorney prepare Findings of Fact and Conciusions of L~aw on this request. ~ ~ Motion Carried: All Yea: ; Item # #: Ordinance # 457: i ~ Mayor Kingsford, An Ordinance amending & changing the Zoninq in certain ! real property which is part of the SW 4 of the SE 4 of Section l,in T. 3N, I R. 1W., B.M. , Ada County, Idaho.

FOR ANNEXATION AND RE-ZONING OF THE PROPOSED SITE FOR THE REGIONAL SHOPPING CENTER AT EAGLE ROAD AND THE FREEWAY.

IDAHO 83706 208 376-3100 October 21, 1985 Honorable Grant Kingsford Mayor of Meridian Councilman Bill Brewer Councilman Bob Giesler Councilman Ron Tolsma Councilman Bert Myers City Hall Meridian, ID 83642 Re: Eagle Road Annexation and Zoning Gentlemen: • I write to you as attorney for the developers of the Nahas Regional Shopping Center site at I-84 and M.eridian Road. In particular I write for the record in these proceedings to object to the granting of the annexation and zonin.g of the proposed Price/Claremont lands at Eagle Road and I-84. In support of this objection we would like to incorporate as part of this record all prior evidence, testimony an.d documents which have been introduced in opposition to this Eagle Road site in prior proceedings before Planning and Zoning and the City Council. We would also like to incorporate the Richa.rd Slaughter study and the City Council's Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law entered in the Quong/Watkins proceedings. Furthermore, we object to the annexation on the grounds that it violates Idaho Code 50-222 in two respects. One, this annexation does not provide for the "orderly development" of the City of Meridian because: (a) It is outside Meridian's original sewer facilities plan. (b) It is 2-1/2 miles from Meridian's core. • • Page 2 October 21, 1985 (c) It has no present police or fire support and the City has no financial reserve:s to provide those services even with the Price "Development Agreement°' with the City. (d) It will create an enclave of Ada Coun~~ty property of nearly one squar~ mile surrounded by City limits and I-84. (e) According to the various studies performed, specifically Richard Slaughter's, development of a Regional Shopping Center at 13agle Road will bankrupt the City in the early 1990's. Two, Idaho Code 50-222 is violated because this annexation property is connected to Meridian only by a shoestring of land. A layman's view of the annexation map included as part of the application will show that the vast majority of the~ land proposed to be annexed has no connection or relation to the present City limits of Meridian. We also would contend that conditional annexation and zoning, conditioned on some future performance by a developer, will not pass legal muster, and that any ordinance so provided will be void from the beginning. Finally, since all evidence in this and other proceedings clearly shows that the City simply does not have the financial capability to provide for the services necessary for development at Eagle Road, then this annexation and zoning violate Idaho~Code 50-1006 which provides in pa.rt: • ' • Page 3 October 21, 1985 "Neither the City Council nor any department or officer of the corporation shall add to the corporation expenditures anything over and above the amount provided in the annual appropriation bill. for the year. ..and no expenditures for• any improve- ment to be paid shall exceed in any one year the amount allocated for such i~provement in the annual appropriation bill." cer ly, R J~s W.

Because of the on-going and extensive involvement of Mr. Rasmussen in this project, we request that the developer presentation and response to public testimony received during tonight's Public Hearing, be deferred to a later date in view of Mr. Rasmussen's circumstances.

Mayor and City Council: ~ Regarding the zoning and annexation by Hosacs, I feel it should be a conditional annexation and zone change. We already have enough in the City unless tfiey are ready to go. If and when that time comes we could pass it then as requested. Also~ the home and property should be annexed and included in ~. the plat. Water and sewer should also continue down Locust Grove to end of property which would include the home.

My name is Osborn Stenberg, residing at the above address in Boise. I am the owner of 40 acres, the northern borderline of which coincides with the southern borderline of the Hosac property described above. My concern is that, as a condition of approval of the annexation and zoning of the Hosac property, their entire property be platted into lots, including the area located in the southwest corner which fronts on Locust Grove Road and that sewer and water lines be extended southward along Locust Grove Road fo the southwestern most corner of their property where it adjoins mine. I regret that at this time this would incur additional costs to the Hosacs above what it would cost if they would be allowed to extend sewer and water lines only as far south as to provide service to the residence in which Mr. and 1Vdrs. Hosac now reside. However this would add proportion- ate value to their property for future development, and adding that value will never cost less than at the time the pipe-laying operation is already in progress. At some time in the future I hope to abe able to develop my property, hopefully into its highest and best use and to the benefit of the City of Meridian and the surrounding community. , ~ ~.~ ~ \ " ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ 1 ~ ~ . ~ y.,, • . October 18, 1985 Page 2 My concern is that another enclave will be developed within the city limits of Meridian that might become an obstacle and unnecessary source of future problems to the development of my property at some time in the future. V'~hoever might be the owner or owners of that property, now or in the future, might resist paying for the cost of sewer and water service across the front of their property where it adjoins mine . Now is the time to avoid possible future conflicts. I hope and trust that your concerns about orderly development of the City of Meridian will coin- cide with mine. Res tfully yours;~ . Osborn T.
