Councilman Myers, City Attorney should be commended for these Findings. Mayor Kingsford concurred with this. The Motion was made by Myers and seconded by Brewer to adopt and approve the Findings of Fact and Conclusions as prepared by the City Attorney: Motion Carried: Brewer, Yea: Tolsma, Yea; Myers, Yea; Giesler,Yea: Item #2: Findings of Fact and Conclusions on Upland Industries request for Comprehensive Plan Amendment for site for Regional Shopping Center: Mayor Kingsford, are there any comments from the Council? City Attorney was commended by the Mayor and Council for the fine job in preparing the Findings. Councilman Myers, it is very important that the policies the Plan has come up with, mainly a Regional Shopping Center for Meridian and the people I have talked with don't seem to care on the loc- ation as long as it is in the Meridian Area. PAGE # 2 MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 4, 1985. Councilman Brewer, The Upland location in my opinion will not generate business in downtown Meridian. A regional mall two miles in any one direction of the region it serves, in this instance Ontario to Mtn. Home, will not effect the mall. However,a regional mall two miles from downtown Meridian will generate satilite growth around the mall and I believe take away from the business community of downtown Meridian. A regional mall should have direct interchange access to the freeway and be as close to Meridian as possible. With the tax structures as they are in Idaho, that is the only way Meridian will benefit from a mall, its proximity to downtown. It is my opinion a Regional Mall anywhere other than adjacent to I-84 will have an adverse effect on our already troubled air quality. Those thousands of automobiles must get in and out of the area without slow street speeds. The development would cause further strip commercial along rairV.iew Ave, which is d st-ouraged by the City of Meridian. Impact on the City water and waste treatment facility by a mall in its self would not be substantial, however, add to that the satilite growth plus probable multi -family housing it would most likely be of consequence. The proposed Comprehensive Plan change does not meet the confines and policies of the Meridian Comprehensive Plan adopted in 1978 and I do not approve of its adoption. However, in these findings we are reminded by our Economic Policies, the Policy Diagram and the Comprehensive Plan review that this Plan can be changed. Due to the quality and integrity of Mr. Howe and Upland _..ndustries I would support tabling for a maximum of sixteen months enabling the developers to show positive proof to this Council that they have major tennants ready to preform. Mayor Kingsford, I have a written statement which I will read for the record. As the Findings of Fact indicate, there are many pluses and minuses for the Council to consider with regard to Upland's request for changes in Comprehensive Planning and Zoning. The major concerns are: (1) ability to preform, (2) surface streets being inadequate, (3) impact on existing shopping facilities in Meridian, and (4) cost impacts on City services, principally police and Fire. The advantages of a center in Meridian are also great. The major ones are: (1) greatly improved shopping for our residents as well as those of the region (2) broadening of the employment base for Meridian citizens, (3)improving the tax burden both for the city residents and those of the school and other taxing districts by having a better ratio of residential to commercial properties. As the findings say, if the tenants can be found, the other problems can surely be overcome. It has been the position of the Meridian Chamber of Commerce to support a regional shopping center in the Meridian area of impact. I have my personal preference for a site but agree with the Findings of Fact, as well as the Chamber of Commerce and the vast majority of the area citizens, that if private enterprise is able to build, then it should, as long as that building is not unduly subsidized with tax dollars through need for public services, i.e. streets, sewer, water, police and fire. • PAGE # 3 MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 4, 1985 C Mayor Kingsford cont'd, The number of tenants which we would require should be no less than two signed, irrevocable letters of intent or as many as the signed tenants would require if more than two. These tenants should be of size recognized as a regional mall anchor and be willing to occupy no less than 90,000 square feet of retail space each. If these major obstacles can be overcome, then I certainly would be in support of your development. Until then, it is my rec- ommendation that the Council table your request to give you time to obtain your tenants. I wish you the very best of luck. Mayor Kingsford, any more questions or comments of the Council? Councilman Myers, we are talking about tabling this for sixteen months from the time they filed this which would be last July, is this correct? Mayor Kingsford, yes unless by mutual consent between the two parties and certainly as the applicant they have the right at this time to ask for a decision on this matter if not satisfied with the tabling. This is the maximum time unless a longer time is mutually agreed upon between the parties involved. City Attorney, Wayne Crookston, The Comprehensive Plan Amendment procedure allows the City to take up to sixteen months to make a decision on plan amendments, at this time it would be necessary to have the written consent of the applicant to table. At this time the applicant is entitled to a decision if they want it. They can request a decision or consent in writing if they want it tabled. Mayor Kingsford, what would be procedure here, to ask them now - Crookston, They should be given the opportunity to decide if they want a decision now or if they would like to have tabled until next meeting. The motion was made by Brewer and seconded by Tolsma to adopt the Findings of Fact and Conclusions as prepared on the request for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment by Upland Industries for a site for regional shopping center. Motion Carried: Brewer, Yea: Tolsma, Yea: Myers, Yea: Giesler, Yea: Mayor Kingsford, Mr. Howe what is upland's position on this, does Upland want a decision or what would be to your best interest? There was discussion as to the options available as well as questions as to when the zoning could be approved. Uplands decision was now that the Findings of Fact were public record they would,desire time to read these findings and asked that the request be tabled until the February 19, 1985 meeting. • PAGE # 4 MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 4, 1985 The motion was made by Tolsma and seconded by Myers to table the Upland Industries request for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment for designation of a regional shopping center until the February 19, 1985 meeting. Motion Carried: All Yea: Item #3: Variance & Final Plat, Arnie Subdivision: Mayor Kingsford advised the Council the City had received a request from Mrs. Stutzman they would like this request tabled until the February 19, 1985 meeting. The motion was made by Myers and seconded by Giesler to table the Variance and Final Plat of Arnie Subdivision until the February 19, 1985, meeting. Motion Carried: All Yea: Item #4: Pre -Termination Hearing Water/Sewer? Trash Delquencies: Mayor Kingsford, This is to inform you in writing, if you choose to, you have the right to a pre -termination hearing, at 7:30 p.m. Feb- ruary 4th, 1985, before the Mayor and Council, to appear in person to be judged on facts and defend the claim made by the City that your water, sewer and trash bill is delinquent. You may retain counsel. This service will be discontinued February 12, 1985, at 8 A.M. unless payment is received in full. Is there anyone present who wishes to defend this claim? There was no response. Mayor Kingsford, Due to their failure to pay their water bill or present any valid reason why the bill has not been paid, their water shall be turned off on February 12, 1985 at 8 a.m. In order to have their water turned back on, there will be an additional fee of $10.00 They are hereby informed that they may appeal or have the decision of the City reviewed by the Fourth Judicial Dist- rict Court, pursuant to Idaho Code. Even though they appeal, the water will be shut off. The motion was made by Tolsma and seconded by Giesler to approve the turn off list of deliquent water users. Motion Carried: All Yea: Mayor Kingsford announced the deliqunecies amounted to $3,742.85. Item #5: Approve the Bills: The motion was made by Tolsma and seconded by Myers to approve the bills. Motion Carried: All Yea: i PAGE # 5 MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 4, 1985. • ITEM # 6: Transfer of Liquor & beer License from Merinco, Inc. to Edward Bird, Shirds,Inc.( Everybody's Dining & Lounge) Mayor Kingsford, Sergeant Robertson, does the police department have any problems with this? Sergeant Robertson, we have checked this out and found nothing derogatory. The Motion was made by Brewer and seconded by Myers to approve the transfer of liquor and beer license from Merinco, inc. to Edward Bird, Shirds, Inc. contingent upon their obtaining transfer of State License. Motion Carried; All Yea: Department Reports: Mayor Kingsford brought it to the attention of the Council that they needed to take some kind of action on the Water and Sewer rates for which the City had paid JUB Engineers to preform a rate study. The motion was made by Tolsma and seconded by Brewer to have the City Attorney draw up an Ordinance amending the present water and sewer Ordinance to reflect these new rates and hook up fees. Water minimum--- $5.00 -- First 4,000 thousand gallons, .80 cents per each ad-dlt�mnalthousand gallons up to 50,000 thousand gallons, .70 cents per thousand each thousand over 50,000 thousand gallons. Sewer Minimum--- $8.40-- First 4,000 thousand gallons, $1.75 per thousand over 4,000 thousand gallons. Water hookup fees: $380.00 per each hookup assessed: Sewer hookup fees: $750.00 per each hookup assessed: Motion Carried: All Yea: Mayor Kingsford reminded the Council they needed to have the City Attorney draw up an Ordinance to cover the four Amendments to the Comprehensive Plan which have been approved. The motion was made by Tolsma and seconded by Myers to have the City Attorney draw up an Ordinance on the four Comprehensive Plan Amendments which have been approved. Motion Carried: All Yea: Mayor Kingsford, I feel the Council should appoint Mr. Kevin Robertson, Acting Police Chief until such time as a replacement is hired for Doug Nichols and he should be compensated with an additional $100.00 per month salary during this period. PAGE # 6 MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 4, 1985.

Motion Carried: All Yea: Mayor Kingsford announced the next meeting would be held on Tuesday the 19th of February due to Monday the 18th being a holiday. Mayor Kingsford, the terms of Jim Schearer and Jim Johnson members of the Planning and Zoning Commission have expired and I would recommend they be reappointed for a six year term. The Motion was made by Giesler and seconded by Myers to reappoint Jim Shearer and Jim Johnson to the Planning & Zoning Commission, for a six year term. Motion Carried: All Yea: Councilman -Myers, Sewer Department purchased a new pickup from Meridian Ford. This expenditure had been included in the budget.

The major concerns are: (1) ability to perform, (2) surface streets being inadequate, (3) impact on existing shopping facilities in Meridian, and (4) cost impacts on city services, principally police and fire. The advantages of a center in Meridian are also great. The major ones are: (1) greatly improved shopping for our residents as well as those of the region, (2) broadening of the employment base for Meridian citizens, (3) improving the tax burdon both for the city residents and those of the school and other taxing dis- tricts by having a better ratio of residential to commercial properties. As the findings say, if the tenants can be found, the other problems can surely be overcome. It has been the position of the Meridian Chamber of Commerce to support a regional shopping center in the Meridian area of impact. I have my personal preference for a site but agree with the findings of fact, as well as the Chamber of Commerce and the vast majority of the area citizens, that if private enterprise is able to build, then it should, so long as that building is not unduly subsidized with tax dollars through need for public services, i.e. streets, sewer, water, police, and fire. The number of tenants which we would require should be no less than two signed, irrevocable letters of intent or as many as the signed tenants would require if more than two. These tenants should be of a size recognized as a regional mall anchor and be willing to occupy no less than 90,000 square feet of retail space each. If these major obstacles can be overcome, then I certainly would be in support of your development. Until then, it is my recommendation thit the council table your request to give you time to obtain your tenants. I wish you the very best of luck.
