Statement presented to the Meridian Planning and Zoning Commissic~n
on June 10, 1985.
By: Martin H. Fabricius
1235 Adkins Rd.
Meridian, Idaho `
Subject: Property owners concerns on the proposal to anne~
and rezone approximately eleven (11) acres of
land east of the City of Meridian for use as a
Garbage Transfer Station. y~
While much has been said regarding Mr. Alidjani's proposal to
establish a garbage transfer station i.n the subject area over the
past several weeks, my remarks this evening are limited to two
major areas of concern. The first of these remai~ks are on the
live-ablility of surrounding property impacted by such an oper-
ation and secondly the effect on future property values in the
impact area.
Following the meeting of the Meridian Planning and Zoning Com-
mission on April 8, 1985, I must admit to having some pretty
anxious thoughts on the issue. Given the line of questioning and
statements by the Commission Members that evening, it appeared that
the annexation and rezoning request presented by Mr. Alidjani
had a better thn even chance of being approved. Hopefully, that
will not be the case.
Since that earlier meeting on April 5, the residents and property
owners located immediately East of Meridian I~ave become more know-
ledgable on the location and operation of garbage transfer stations.
`~heir findings have not eliminated any early concerns-quite the
contrary. Further, contacts with responsibl.e State and County
officials and persons from other states familiar tiaith garbage
transfer operations have not reduced the concerns of surrounding
residents and property owners. The conclusion reached from these
observations and contacts is always the same- garbage transfer
or handling stations are not acceptable if we are to maintain the
live-ability of our neighborhood and community.
And while we are on the subject of neighborhood and community
I believe some comments on that issue are appropriate. During
the April 5~h meeting, those persons voicing opposition to Mr.
Alidjani's request were asked whether they reside within the City

of Meridian. rurther members of the Planning and Zoning Commission
directly or indirectly made comments to the effect that the area
to be impacted by the proposed transfer station is not a neigh-
borhood. For the record, it must be recognized that those of us
who have, are, or will voice opposition to the proposed transfer
station are residents of the impact zone within the jurisdiction
of the City of Meridian, As such we are entitled to the same
considerations as Mr. Alidjani even though!~he is a Meridian City
resident businessman, and member of the Planning and Zoning Com-
mission. As to whether the impacted area is a neighborhood, every
available definition of the term indicates that it is. As a
resident of the area for twenty (20) years, I can assure you
that the 25 to 30 households most immediately effected by the
proposed garbage transfer station represent a cross section of
nearly any subdivision of similar size in Treasure Valley. If
we can't be recognized and represented as such, then our neighbor-
hood has a problem and the Planning and Zoning Commission has a
problem, because we are headed on a collision course.
Farlier, I indicated concern over the effect on surrounding
property values if a garbage transfer station were to be placed
on the site in question. From conversations with realtor's and
others familiar with property values, there is complete agreement
that a drastic reduction of value would occur in the vicinity '
of the transfer station and greatly reduced values would be experi-'
enced within a wide radius of the site. While each property owner
in the neighborhood would be effected differently depending upon
the location, size and type of property involved, we all have a
legitimate concern.
In my oian particular situation, my wife and I own a home and
approximately 45 acres of land located Fast of the Meridian City
limits and extending to Locust Grove Road. This property is es-
sentially bordered by Pine Street on the South and Fairview Avenue
on the North. On two seperate occasions, in 1976 and again in 1980,
iae worked closely and cooperatively with Meridians Planning and
Zoning Commission and City Council on planned developments in this
area which were conceived to be worthy additions to the City and
-2-
• i
and surrounding community. The first of th~se efforts took place
ti~hen the City was constructing a new and expanded sewage treatment
p7_ant. At that time City officials contacted us and expressed an
interest in locating one of the main service lines on our property
East of the City limits to better serve what was considered to be
a growth area. For our part, we were asked to formulate a plan
for a future residential neighborhood that would include a major
North-South connector road al:igned on top o~f the sewer service line.
These plans were undertaken, completed, and approved by all parties
irivolved. I might add, they were r~ot completed without the expen-
diture of many thousands of dollars and many rnonths of effort by
my wife and T.
The second effort to come up with a planned development of the
<~rea which includes our property, is referred to as the Old Towne
Development. Generally, speaking, this was an expansion of the
earlier pl.an to include existing commercial properti~s along Fair-
view• Avenue and those of some 28 other small property owners within
the area bordered by the City Limits, Pine Street, Locust Grove
Road and Fairview Avenue, Despite the broader sharing of costs and
efforts with other landowners this was also an expensive under-
taking.
Given the background outlined above, I find it quite ironic to
be here this evening attempting to stop a garbage transfer station
from being located one-quarter mile from our property line. Such
a development is certainly not compatible with single family
dr~~ellings and multiple housing units included in the earlier plans.
If Mr. Alidjani's request is favorably acted upon by the existing
Planning and Zoning Commission, I can only assume there has been
a change in the thinking of Meridian City Officials. For those of
us who have already expended our dollars, time, and effort toward
an orderly and acceptable growth pattern for Meridian, this is very
disappointing and we will have to pursue whatever recourse we might
have.

Statement Presented to ~he i;eridian City Council on August 5, 1985.
By: Martin H. Fabricius
1235 Adkins Rd.
Meridian, Idaho
Subject: A Proposal to Annex and Rezone~approximately eleven
acres of land located East of the City of Meridian
for the purpose of establishing a Garbage Transfer
Station.
t.
In setting down some thoughts to be pr.esented here this even-
ing, I will admit that is has been very tempting to review the pro-
ceedings with regard to Mr. Alidjani's request that have taken
place over the past three months. It is tempting because of the
time, effort, expense and emotions spent by a lot of good fr~ends
and neighbors in opposing Mr. Alidjani's proposed development and
any "like uses" that may come up for consideration in the future.
It is also very tempting because those of us opposing the rezoning
and annexation request have, despite our efforts, observed the
Meridian Planning and Zoning Council, adopt a ruling in favor of
the proposal which we feel is not supportable on the basis of test-
imony presented.
However, the matter is now before this Council and each of _
you have or will, in the near future, review the oral and written
testimony presented by Mr. Alidjani and those opposing this request.
With that in mind, we can only ask that you review the facts and
thoughts presented and reach your decision accordingly. In doing
so I might suggest that the lack of pertinent facts could be equal-
ly if not more important in arriving at that decision.
Before getting directly to the points I wish to cover this
evening there is one other item worthy of comment. In the Findings
of Facts and Con~~usions prepared for the Planning and Zoning Com-
mi.ssion, the assertion is made several times that citizens of the
-1-
~ •
i~~pacted area agpear to be more concer~led with Lhe proposed use
of the land to be rezoned than the rezoning action itself.
1d)~ile this can be refuted by the earlier testimony given, we do
admit to being very concerned over the liveability of our neighbor-
hood. This is a result of having to put up with the many problems
created by a poorly managed drive-in-theatre, a junk yard being
operated illegally, and an inadequate road~.system each and every
day of our lives. So, we are under no illusions as to how addi-
tional nonselective development in ot~r ne.ighborhood will impact
its liveability.
The land area most immediately impacted by the current rezoning
proposal can generally be described as being located between Five
Mile Creek to the West, Pine Street to the South, FaiRrview Avenue
to the North, and within approximately 2 mile of Eagle Road to the
East. As most of you know this is an area currently made up of
homes on residential size lots and small acreages devoted to agri-
culture. Due to the existing ownership pattern, the location of
any so called "nuisance inc~ustry or business" will have an immediate
depressing effect upon a large number of the property awners.
People actively engaged in the real estate market assure me this
will be the case. For those of us who, may for some reason, have
to dispose of our property in the future, the longer range econ-
omic impact is even more bleak. If the above described area is
to be considered for commercial and light industrial use only,
then we property owners will have to directly compete with some
1,100 acres of land already zoned commercial - light industrial
for potential buyers and tenants. Our chances of doing that are
quite remote since most of,the 1,100 acres is more ideally located
for such purposes and has already been through the rezoning,

will be those who can purchase property at bargain ~tates and hold
their investment over a long period of time until the demand for
cornmf~rcial and industrial property finally ~exceeds the supply ~~~hich
is available.
Residents and property owners in the area East of Meridian

growth and the fact that the existing core~of Meridian was favorably
located to service this growth. From comments made during the
recent deliberations of the Planning and Zoning Commission, we
are nQw led to believe City Officials have a different view of
how Meridian should grow and develop. If this is the case, then
we property ~wners in the impact area who have so much at stake
should be so advised and afforded an opportunity for input into
the process.
Thus fttr, most of the emphasis has dealt with losses to be
incurred from Mr. Alidjani's request. When someone loses it seems
there should be some gains realized~but will this be the case~
The consultant hired by the East Side Property O~ti~ners has
researched and provided ample evidence that Mr. Alidjani cannot
now, or in the foreseeable future , economically justify the
-3-
r . ~
~ ~
~aperation of a garbage transfer station given the volumn of material
to be handled. An official located in this area, whose duties
permit him to abserve gargage transfer station operations throughout
the Western United States, also commented to me that such an oper-
ation did not appear feasible at this time. Mr. Alidjani has, him-
self~cast doubt upon the advisability of constructing the transfer
i.
station at this time but until business war~rants this facility, he
proposes to use the rezoned pPC~perty as a parking area for his
existing equipment and utilize the unneeded portion for "like uses."
Given these conditions, it does not sound as though the customers
of Mi~. Alidjani stand a very good chance of benefiting from his
venture either.
If adjacent landowners are to incur reduced land•values,
the,City of Meridian is to lose or at the very minirnum defer devel-
opment of an area within its impact zone, and existing customers
cannot be assurred of stabilized or reduced rate schedules, then
who stands to gain from Mr. Alidjani's proposal? This question
needs to be considered by each of you and answered to your satis-
faction before arriving at a decision.
Your time and patience in hearing my thoughts on this matter
are greatly appreciated and if there are any quesitons I will
attempt to answer them to the best of my knowledge.

Meridian, Idaho
Dear Mr. Kingsford:
~
MEMBER FIRM .-
GRANT THORNTON INTERNATIONAL
Thank you for meeting with us to discuss the requirements of our forthcom-
ing engagement.
We will make an examination of the financial statements of City of Meridian
as of September 30, 1985 and the related statements of revenue and
expenditures changes in fund balances and changes in financial position for
the year then ended. Both proprietary and non propriatary accounts will be
analyzed. Our examination will be made in accordance with the generally
accepted auditing standards adopted by the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants and will include tests of accounting data and procedures
we consider necessary under the circumstances.
The ob~ective of our engagement is the completion of an examination of the
financial statements referred to above and, upon its completion and subject
to it's findings, the expression of an opinion on such financial state-
ments. An examination made in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards is subject to certain limitations and the inherent risk that
errors, irregularities, or illegal acts, including fraud or defalcations,
if they exist, will not be detected. However, if, during the course of our
examination, we become aware of such errors, irregularities or illegal
acts, we will bring them to your attention. Should you then wish us to
expand our normal audiCing procedures, we will be pleased to work with you
on developing a separate engagement for that purpose.
This assignment will be undertaken at our regular rates and it is antici-
pated that the charges for the aforementioned services will not exceed
$6,400.00.
Billings will be rendered foz payment on a monthly basis, so that you may
readily relate our charges to the work performed. Of course, circumstances
may arise that will require that our services be extended. If it appears
that the estimated fee will be exceeded, we will bring this to your atten-
tian. This engagement includes only those services specifically described
in this letter.

Dear Mayor Kingsford:
As discussed recently we, United Cable Television of Treasure
Valley, are pleased to announce that our 6th year of operation
was a year of growth. Consistent customer service capacity
and capabilities, as well as programming additions and
improvements, have assisted our growth in Basic subscriptions
from 31,095 to 32,615 a 1,520 subscriber gain for a 4.9$
increase.
Despite the basic subscriber growth our operating loss
incurred due to decreasing subscriptions of pay services,
(i.e. HBO, Showtime, Disney.), and increase in operating
expenses. The trend of decreasing subscriptions to pay
services is not unique, the cable industry nationally is
experiencinq the same trends.
We respectively submit a formal request to adjust our service
fees. Due to the market/price sensitivity of our service,
a 100~ pass-thraugh of our operating expense increases are
prohibited. However, we propose the following nominal rate
adjustments, effective August 15, 1985;
Current Proposed Percent of

Notes: (1) Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984
authorizes a 5~ Basic rate increase in 1985
and 1986, with a provision to deregulate
rates in 1987; Based on effective competition,
(3 off-air stations, and Boise currently
delivers 5).
(2) Pay services fees not regulated per a 1978
Federal Court of Appeals ruling that "FCC
preemption has rendered invalid... price
regulation or special pay cable programming...."
Brookhaven Cable T.V. vs Kell , 573F2d765,

(3) Depends upon the subscriber`s service combina-
tion, (i.e.: 1 pay, 2 pay, etc.)
We, United Cable Television of Treasure Valley, are confident
that you will consider the proposed rate adjustment equitable.
We are available to address any questions or concerns at your
request.
I will be in touch with your office the week of June 17th to
discuss the rate adjustment.
Respectfully,
