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 -1- ! • 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. -3- i • 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, -2- ~ • ;~.,nexation, and in some c~3ses pre-development stages. Our buyers 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 know they cannot afford to become part of a. "no mans land" with regard to development on either a Certainly, the question has to be can afford that either in view of tend services into the area and a ity. As recently as 5 years ago, that the area in question had the short or long term basis. asked whether the City of expenditures already made need to expand its taxing City Officials shared the potential for mixed use d Meridian to ex- author- view evelop- ment including plans for single family and multiple unit housing. an This concept was basedAexisting studies for preferred urban-suburban ~Ye ~. 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. -4- _~ ~ T i T~ the Meridi~aa CitT Councile I usuallT da not becoxxne involved ~.n ~igning or NOT signing petition~, feeling that thing~ generally work t~zemselves out.

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 Service Rate Rate Adjustment Basic Service without $ 8.80 $ 9.60 9.0~ Converter Terminal (1) Basic Service with $10.95 $11.75 7.3~ Converter Terminal (l) Remote Control $ 2.25 $ 2.40 6.6$ Converter Option FM/Stereo Service $ 2.65 $ 2.95 11.3~ Additional Outlets $ 4.40 $ 4.75 7.9~ Pay Cable TV Services (2) (3j $.85/ 1-?.4$ service 8400 Westpark • Boise, Idaho 83704 •(208) 377-2491 ~ , • ~ • P age 2 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).
