MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL APRIL 20, 1993
The Regular Meeting of the Meridian City Council was called to
order by Mayor Grant P. Kingsford at 7:30 P.M.:
Members Present: Ron Tolsma, Bob Giesler, Bob Corrie, Max
Yerrington:
Others Present: Gene Shanks, Jack Boone, Bill Hardt, Norm
LaCombe, Gary Lee, Wayne Crookston,
ITEM #1: MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETING HELD APRIL 6, 1993:
The Motion was made by Giesler and seconded by Tolsma to approve
of the minutes of the previous meeting held April 6, 1993 as
written:
Motion Carried: All Yea:
ITEM #2: FINAL PLAT: THE VINEYARDS #3 SUBDIVISION, 45 LOTS,
ZONED R-4 BY MAX BOESIGER, INC.:
Kingsford: Does Council have any questions of staff?
Giesler: I wasn't for certain whether Nine Mile is going to be
tiled or not.
Becky Bowcutt: No we will not be tiling Nine Mile, we will be
putting a 6' cedar fence along the ditch and then we will be
grating the ditch bank and then laying down some gravel road mix
to improve it.
Corrie: After it's all done, fenced, who is going to take care
of that back there?
Bowcutt: Nampa Meridian Irrigation District maintains that but
it's under I believe the Bureau of Reclamation.
Corrie: Does you property lines go in the middle of that ditch
or does it go to just your fence?
Bowcutt: I believe the fence line would be on the property line.
Corrie: Then we are possibly going to run into the same problem
we're having the other places, it's the easement they are
responsible for it but not the ditch company.
Kingsford: Okay. Any other questions for Becky?
MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL
APRIL 20, 1993
PAGE 2
Bowcutt: We have reviewed the City Engineer's comments and have
made those necessary changes. Also we will be submitting some
additional street names to the Street Name Committee because we
have a couple that exceed the maximum length. That is the only
issue that we need to resolve here.
Kingsford: What is the status of the pressurized irrigation with
Nampa Meridian? Have they been in contact with you any more on
that?
Bowcutt: Not this particular project.
Tolsma: The Nine Mile Drain that goes through there is
classified as a Federal Drain Ditch by the Bureau of Reclamation
and from what I understood the Bureau of Reclamation doesn't want
drain ditches tiled.
Bowcutt: That's correct and we aren't tiling it.
The Motion was made by Tolsma and seconded by Yerrington to
approve the Final Plat for Vineyards #3 Subdivision.
Motion Carried; All Yea:
ITEM #2: FINAL PLAT: CANDLELIGHT SUBDIVISION #29 40 LOTS, ZONED
R-4, BY MCBEE, INC.:
Kingsford: Does Council have any questions of staff or their
engineer?
Giesler: The turn around at the end of Jew Street, will it be
paved or just graveled?
Pat Tealy, 479 Main Street, Boise, representing the Developer:
It will be a temporary turn around, it will be graveled.
Kingsford: Would we be having utilities in that turn around?
Tealy: Yes we'll be having utilities out there. We'll be
submitting the third phase in about another month which will
continue that road on out to Ten Mile so it will be a real
temporary culdesac.
MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL
APRIL 20, 1993

Eng. Smith: On that particular one the way the lots lay out -
the sewer line will terminate at the end of the pavement, the
water line if it's not extended on to the next valve then the
developer effectively looses the lots there because when the
water line is extended we have to shut them off. Until the
extended water line is disinfected and so we're talking about
several days.
Kingsford: Are you comfortable with it not being paved over?
Eng. Smith: We are requiring a concrete donut around the valve.
Kingsford: Any other questions of Mr. Tealy? No response.
Giesler: Have you seen the Engineer's comments?
Tealy: I just received them tonight but I believe they are
standard and there would be no problem.
The Motion was made by Yerrington and seconded by Giesler to
approve of the Final Plat of Candlelight Subdivision #2.
Motion Carried: All Yea:
ITEM #3: FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW: VARIANCE
REQUEST FOR ELK RUN SUBDIVISION, FENCING INSTEAD OF DITCH TILING,
BY DAVENPORT GROUP:
The Motion was made by Corrie and seconded by Giesler to approve
the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law on Elk Run
Subdivision:
Roll Call Vote: Yerrington - Yea; Giesler - Yea; Corrie - Yea;
Tolsma - Yea:
Motion Carried: All Yea:
ITEM #4: FINAL PLAT: ELK RUN SUBDIVISION, 53 LOTS, ZONED R-4
AND R-8 BY DAVENPORT GROUP:
Corrie: There's one comment from the Fire Department reference a
turn around. Will that be taken care of?
MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL

PAGE 4
Gary Lee: Yes there is a turn around provided and it has been
approved by ACRD.
The Motion was made by Tolsma and seconded by Giesler to approve
the Final Plat on Elk Run Subdivision:
Motion Carried: All Yea:
ITEM #5: PUBLIC HEARING: RUNNING BROOK ESTATES SUBDIVISION:
VARIANCE TO INCREASE CULDESAC LENGTH FROM 450 FEET TO 710 FEET,
BY STEVE ANDERSON/GLENN JOHNSON:
Kingsford: At this time I will open the public hearing. Is
there a representative present for this request?
Richard Jewell, 1082 Arlington, Eagle, was sworn by the attorney.
Jewell: The primary purpose for the length of the culdesac is to
obtain access back to the rear lots on the development. The
original design that we had did have a 450' culdesac, and at the
request of the owners we were asked to eliminate that and re-
route the traffic out to Kuna Meridian Road and in the process
that lengthened the culdesac.
Kingsford: Thank you. Anyone else to testify? No response.
I'll close the public hearing.
Giesler: I'm not real fond of a culdesac of this length but in
this case I don't know of any other way that this piece of
property could be serviced.
The Motion was made by Giesler and seconded by Corrie to have the
attorney prepare Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law.
Motion Carried: All Yea:
ITEM #6: PUBLIC HEARING: PRELIMINARY PLAT OF CHERI MEADOWS
SUBDIVISION, 113 LOTS, ZONED R-8 AND EXISTING LO - PUD BY DAVE
LEADER:
Kingsford: I will open the public hearing at this time. Is
there a representative present?
Pat Tealy, 479 Main Street, Boise, was sworn by the attorney.

Tealy: The only thing we'd like to clarify is that the minimum
square footage of the homes we'd like at 1300 square feet. There
was some confusion with Planning and Zoning between 1300 and 1350
and we're just wanting to clarify that point. I'd be happy to
answer any questions.
Kingsford: There was some concern about a different plat than
what we originally looked at, you might address that.
Tealy: At City of Meridian's request we eliminated the townhouse
lots that we had originally had in that first culdesac off of
Hickory down in the southeast corner of the subdivision and
turned them into just single family to eliminate the problem that
the a lot of the Council Members had with that type of
development.
Corrie: I've got another plat here is this the correct one?
Tealy: Yes.
Tolsma: On East Apricot Drive now it will stub out and dead end
against Dixie Lane?
Tealy: Yes it will, there will be a temporary turn around there
until the connection to Mirage Meadows is made.
Tolsma: Now ACHD had a question on that about somebody
dedicating the land where Dixie Lane is to get across into Mirage
Meadows, is that?
Tealy: We've had some discussions with ACHD and we have supplied
them with a traffic impact study. They are looking at that now
to see if they are going to require any right of way for Dixie
Lane.
(Discussion on Dixie Lane - see tape) -
Crookston: Mr. Wood expressed to me that there is some concern
about this ten foot easement that's to the west of Dixie Lane.
Tealy: Unless he has different information than we do, the
owners own to the centerline of Dixie Lane which is the forty
acre line and then there's a ten foot easement across it similar
to what we have.
MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL
APRIL 20, 1993
PAGE 6
Kingsford: Thank you. Anyone else to testify?
Tealy: The question on the square footage, could you answer that
please?
Jim Johnson: Our intent was to have this subdivision be
consistent with other subdivisions in the area.
Kingsford: So the issue is whether it be 1300 or 1350 square
feet that's what you want answered.
Tealy: Correct. I believe the zone requires 1300.
Kingsford: Probably it's appropriate for us to continue the
public hearing then we'll answer that. Is there anyone else from
the public who wishes to testify? No response. I will close the
public hearing.
Corrie: Did we put the restriction of 1350 on those around them?
I believe we did.
Kingsford: It's probably appropriate that we be consistent with
what the Findings were and the annexation ordinance.
Crookston: Apparently in one case we required a dedication of a
certain width and then we haven't on another. There's a
discrepancy as to really what the use of Dixie Lane is going to
be.
(Additional Discussion on Dixie Lane — see tape)
The Motion was made by Tolsma and seconded by Yerrington to
approve the preliminary plat for Cheri Meadows.
Motion Carried: All Yea:
ITEM #7: PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR REZONE FROM LIMITED OFFICE
(LO) TO R-8 RESIDENTIAL BY B.W. INC.:
Kingsford: I will open the Public Hearing. Is there a
representative present?
Dan Torfin, Hubble Engineering, 9550 Bethel Court, Boise,
representing B. W. Inc., was sworn by the attorney.

MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL
APRIL 20, 1993
PAGE 7
Torfin: This request is for a small portion of the Danbury Fair
Development which is on Pine Street. The subdivision has been
recorded and we're just requesting this rezone from LO to R-8 to
clean up the zoning and to allow those lots within the Danbury
Fair Subdivision to be developed now with single family homes.
The Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law - Planning and Zoning
made a recommendation that no duplexes be allowed which we're not
proposing duplexes. They also requested that we be subject to
design review and I don't believe that in an R-8 zone that single
family is required to go through a design review process. Could
the Council clarify what that means? We would like to have that
requirement deleted. It is within platted lots already that is
being developed as a single family subdivision.
Kingsford: Thank you. Any questions?
Crookston: This parcel is along Fairview Avenue?
Torfin: No the parcel is along Pine.
Kingsford: Anyone else to testify? No response. I will close
the public hearing.
The Motion was made by Tolsma and seconded by Giesler to approve
of the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law on the rezone
request by B. W. Inc. to R-8 Zoning:
Roll Call Vote: Yerrington - Yea; Giesler - Yea; Corrie - Yea;
Tolsma - Yea:
Motion Carried: All Yea:
The Motion was made by Yerrington and seconded by Tolsma to have
the attorney prepare an Ordinance rezoning from LO to R-8 for
B.W. Inc.:
Motion Carried: All Yea:
The Motion was made by Tolsma and seconded by Yerrington to
include in the Ordinance that the parcels changing be included in
the covenants of the rest of the subdivision.
Motion Carried: All Yea:

ITEM #8: REQUEST FOR LIQUOR, WINE AND BEER LICENSE FOR MR. LYLE
TULLER, A NEW LOUNGE AT 704 E. 1ST STREET TO BE CALLED SCOTTS
LANDING MANAGED BY MR. STEVE SCOTT:
Steve Scott: The reason I'm here tonight is to let you know that
the establishment has been cleaned up and the problems of the
past are going to be gone.
Kingsford: Chief, have you reviewed this request?
Gordon: Yes, I have no problem.
The Motion was made by Tolsma and seconded by Giesler to approve
the Liquor, Wine and Beer License be granted at 704 E. 1st
Street.
Motion Carried: All Yea:
ITEM #8A: REQUEST FOR BEER AND WINE LICENSE TRANSFER FROM ROBERT
SUMNER TO LAMONT BECK AT WHITEWATER SALOON:
Kingsford: Chief have you reviewed this?
Gordon: Yes and I have no problem.
The Motion was made by Yerrington and seconded by Tolsma to
approve the transfer of beer and wine license to Lamont Beck.
Motion Carried: All Yea:
ITEM #9: REQUEST FROM IDA -ORE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT
ASSOCIATION TO PAY $506.01 FOR 1993/94 MEMBERSHIP DUES:
Kingsford: During my tenure here we've never paid Ida -Ore dues.
It is my understanding that the County is not paying Ida -Ore dues
either.
The Motion was made by Tolsma and seconded by Yerrington to deny
the request for membership dues in the amount of $506.01 from
Ida -Ore Planning and Development.
Motion Carried: All yea:

ITEM #10: MERIDIAN SENIOR CITIZENS CENTER: SHORT PRESENTATION
BY MR. GENE SHANKS, FUND RAISING ACTIVITIES AND PROGRAMS:
Gene Shank: We are serving between 125 and 160 meals per day
excluding meals on wheels. In 1992 we served 120,500 meals and
58,520 meals on wheels. The capacity from 1991 grew
approximately 10,000 into 1992. Most of the meals for our
seniors we are serving to acquire funds to enlarge our facility
which has outgrown the services that we need for this community.
We are trying to establish fund raisers by selling concrete
blocks, which you see at the bottom here to continue building a
larger area for our dining room for our seniors which would
accommodate an additional 75 to 100 people. We are trying to
establish these funds with raffles, rummage sales, and our new
fund raiser will be Bingo. I have talked to your City Attorney
and Bingo is feasible. We will try to start in the month of May
running two and a third days a month. We are asking for your
support for donations for blocks which we need approximately
6,000 cement blocks for our addition of our dining area. We are
going to be going out to businesses in Meridian and asking for
their support. Invited Mayor and City Council to come over and
have lunch and see how things go on at the center.
Kingsford: At least three of us up here were instrumental in the
original funding for that. I would encourage any of you if you
haven't been to the Senior Center recently to go over, they serve
excellent meals.
Shanks: I read in the paper here a while back that there was the
possibility of a $100.00 fee for a license. Is so do we have to
have a public hearing here to obtain a license to play Bingo?
Crookston: The State may have a requirement.
Kingsford: We have not amended our Ordinance to parallel the
States Constitutional Amendment that allowed for the lottery and
that's what opens up Bingo for charitable organizations. If they
require that we certainly wouldn't be able to waive it.
Shanks: We hope that the Bingo will really help the center as a
fund raiser to build on additions that we do need.
Kingsford: We'd be glad to help how ever we can.

ITEM #12: DEPARTMENT REPORTS:
Chairman Johnson: Explained what Planning and Zoning Commission
is trying to do regarding square footages.
Kingsford: If we have said, either in the Findings and Fact or
in the annexation ordinance that it was 1300, I think we're
obligated to stay there.
Tolsma: I'm sure it was 1350.
Discussion - see tape.
Eng. Smith: I have one item that I need to bring before you this
evening. I put a copy of the bid results in your box on the
Telemetry System. Bids were opened Friday, April 16th at 3:00
P.M.. We had three bidders for that project. Aquatrol, which is
a division of Tano-Automation Inc., which was the low bidder at
$81,774.00. Autocon and Pacific Equipment were the other two
bidders. Autocon is a business in Montana. Pacific Equipment is
handling a Telemetry Product and they reside in Nampa. Autocon's
bid was deemed non-responsive because they did not solicit a pre-
bid approval of their equipment, however we read the bid any way
with the understanding of everybody there that it was non-
responsive. This amount of bid is within the budgeted amount for
that project and so I would recommend to you that the project be
awarded to Aquatrol Division of Tano-Automation, Inc.. They are
representing in this area by Water and Wastewater Equipment
Company in Boise.
The Motion was made by Tolsma and seconded by Giesler to approve
of the Telemetry Control Project bid from Aquatrol in the amount
of $819774.00.
Motion Carried: All Yea:
The Motion was made by Tolsma and seconded by Yerrington to
authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the documents
authorizing Aquatrol to begin.
Motion Carried: All Yea:

Eng. Smith: Our new well test hole was drilled. The well
driller is Pete Cope Well Drilling and they are drilling a well
out on Linder Road about 800' south of Cherry Lane Road on the
west side. That's on a lot that was dedicated to us by the
developers of Vineyards Subdivision. The test hole was completed
to 740' depth and I met with the hydrogeologist this morning and
he has recommended to us that we complete the production well to
approximately that depth. In doing so, we will be passing
through what he calls a significant clay layer at about 440' and
there was several advantages to this. One is that we are in a
very confined aquifer at that depth, secondly we would risk or
have less risk of contamination to our well water at that depth
because of this clay layer and thirdly there seems to be a lot of
concern lately by individuals living in particular the west area
of our town, in the County areas that the larger irrigation wells
that have been drilled out in that area are causing them concerns
about lowering their water levels in their wells, a great deal of
financial burdens and so he felt that if we completed our well in
this lower aquifer that there would be much less future possible
problems with wells that are located to the north and west of
this site. The price that we received from Pete Cope Drilling
was a very good price for the well and we are saving some money
on the cost of the test well because it was not completed. That
is we did not case it, we're just going to use it as a pilot hole
to drill the production well so we'll save some money there. The
additional cost of drilling to this depth would be drilling cost
and casing cost. The well screen and its assembly would be the
same. It amounted to about $6500.00 in additional cost to add to
what Cope bid. Even at that depth we're still considerable less
than what we had in the well at Meridian Greens. (Explained
further — see tape) —
Kingsford: What's the status on Ten Mile?
Eng. Smith: Well No. 12 is back together. We still don't have
an answer as to what the problem with that well is.
Kingsford: Still not producing any more?
Eng. Smith: Bruce turned it on and he was pumping to waste
through a fire hydrant at the end of the access road and it
started pumping 950 gallons a minute and then the pumping rate
dropped over about an 13 minute period of time and stabilized at
0

about 575 gallons per minute then there was a considerable amount
of vibration in the pump and they shut it down. I talked to Ed
Squires this morning about it and we looked back at the well test
pump at the time it was drilled or after it was drilled. He was
quite concerned about the specific capacities that were obtained
at the well at that test pumping. He said they were extremely
low. He's not convinced that it was completed in a very good
manner. He thinks it wasn't developed correctly. It may be that
we're going to need to look at going back into that well hole and
he's going to look into a proposal to us to do that or to do the
geology work that would be necessary to allow us to go back into
the hole. Right now the telemetry control system for that well
has been removed from it and is being installed in well #14.
Well #14 is consistent and has good production with no problems.
We will be getting Well #15 on line as soon as possible.
Kingsford: Thank you. I'd suggest that we maybe think about
fixing it after the summer season. Mr. Vickers, I've been
advised that you can update us on the Sewer Facilities Plan.
Kirby Vickers: The work on the clutch and system has been
completed. We've run out the core of the system on a model and
for the entire planning area we've created a core of a collection
system based on the contours that were availability to us. On a
forty year basis, the existing interceptor system is very strong
and should carry you through that period. We don't start seeing
problems with the existing interceptor system until a hundred
years of in—fill in the planning area. There was two major
questions concerning the treatment system. The first that had to
be addressed was the current method of disinfecting the treated
wastewater prior to discharge was chlorination and contact and
then discharge. Because of new testing requirements from APA
called to hold effluent toxicity the chlorine has had an adverse
affect on that. So either a method of dechlorinating the
wastewater prior to discharge or an alternative disinfection
system had to be incorporated. We are recommending after an
analysis and a cost effective analysis the incorporation of an
open channel ultra violet disinfection system. That appears to
be cost effective. We have concluded that your existing
treatment plant is also operating very well, it has a design
capacity that has been identified at your current growth rate.
If you continue to grow at this rate then it's going to
accelerate the plan. The population projections that we utilized
were based upon a 9% growth rate for the first five years of the
0
MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL

planning period. Thereafter a 5% growth rate for 1 believe it
was five years and then a 3% growth rate for the following ten.
So if the growth rate continues at the 13% level then it's going
to accelerate the planning in the facility plan. However, the
current system is operating well and you are meeting the permit
with it and it does have existing capacity. We are recommending
for the future because of the way the flow enters into the
treatment facility getting a lot of infiltration during the
irrigation season almost a million gallons of it identified that
this goes very well with a slow rate land application system to
be located in the west portion of your planning area. Properly
structured with treatment and land application this would also
provide you an area wide treatment system instead of pumping back
to your existing treatment facility. The cost effective analysis
showed this to be a very very close alternative to a high rate
land application system with the high rate land application
system being slightly less expensive with combined capital and
operation and maintenance costs, however we feel that the slow
rate land application system is a more risk free system and we
are recommending the adoption of that.
Kingsford: Any questions of Mr. Vickers?
Corrie: That accelerated rate, say we in five years we just
continue what we're doing now, where will we be?
Vickers: In about five years you would be looking at having to
incorporate a wide place in the line to accommodate that
infiltration equalization storage to take off the peaks and then
to feed it into the system later at night. Either that or
acquisition of the land and incorporation of the land application
system and it's own treatment and storage system.
Kingsford: Thank you Kirby. Next item on the agenda then is
discussion of issues by the Planning Director.
Wayne Forrey: Explained one page summary of projects that have
been turned in for the Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting.
Right now we are processing 963 single family residential lots
for the next Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting. There's a
lot happening in the City and I would ask for your patience with
me trying to catch up and keep up. I appreciate you all being
sensitive to that and in time, don't hesitate to come in the
office and ask for anything but right now if I'm a little slow I

hope you'll understand. One thing that would help, I've been
receiving phone calls on this Hest Western Products and if
there's a Council person that's kind of the point man on that
let's get together because some neighbors have asked me to
intervene and write letters as the Zoning Administrator and I'll
be happy to do that at the pleasure of the Council if there is a
violation.
Kingsford: We need to move along on that.
Forrey: One thing that Ada Planning Association wanted to do was
come tonight and make a presentation on a pathway plan. I have
given each of you a copy and also one to Walt Morrow. I
telephoned APA and asked if Meridian could have a little more
time to look at that. My plan is to meet this Thursday of this
week with Charles Trainor of Ada Planning Association. We're
going to look at the ISTEA/CMAQ program. We've got to identify
some projects that we can submit to APA that ultimately will be
submitted to District°III Department of Transportation which in
theory there will be some funding that will trickle back down to
the projects that APA have submitted to the State. Meridian has
not been successful in getting any of that money in the past. I
think there's an opportunity here for us to get our foot in the
door because when APA was out two weeks ago they kind of said
give us some projects. Charles and I will develop some projects
Thursday but on Friday I would appreciate it if the Council could
come in and look at what Charles and I have developed and have
some input into that. The following Tuesday is when this will be
due.
Another item I wanted to just acquaint you with is automated
permit systems. These are computer programs that can be
installed on personal computers or on the computers like you have
here at City Hall. These are tracking systems that really are
efficient so when a person comes in to pay their water or sewer
bill it's entered into the computer, if they need a fence
variance or a zoning permit or a building permit, electrical,
beer and wine, whatever type of permit someone at the front can
enter that into the computer and it will be extremely efficient.
I think it could free up one person of the staff that we have now
working out at the front desk. To me the justification is the
efficiency. I've met with our computer programmer and he thinks
he can do as good a job, a lot less money by using our existing.
I think you've got a very good system and it can grow and expand
and be programmed to this. Janice Gass also put something in
your slots about a change in the plumbing books.

Kingsford: She's asking, and I think very appropriate that we go
to issuing permit books, both plumbing and electrical and in
doing so then adopt the State Fee Schedule. She has attached our
current schedule and also the State Fee's on those. It would be
my recommendation that we, this evening adopt those State Fees
and go ahead with those permit books and I think we can reduce
the numbers of people that the people at the front counter have
to see on a daily basis. Is it required that we put in some kind
of an Ordinance that we double fee them if they don't pay those
within the ten days or is that already in there?
Forrey: I don't know Mayor. I noticed that in the Memo here but
I don't know.
Kingsford: I think that we would want to be sure and do that.
Well it kind of stemmed from and I really appreciate Wayne, we've
come up with several items or discussion of automation and he was
saying that he thought there was a hope that he could handle what
was going on in there if I could get him a person that could help
him and I said, you free one up out in front and you've got'em.
So he went right to work on that.
Forrey: I appreciate your support on these types of things in
terms of efficiency. This is an example of something we can do
immediately but longer term I do think there's some
computerization that will help.
Kingsford: I really appreciate Wayne, he's seen a number of
different City's in different States and has some important
information that we could absorb.
The Motion was made by Yerrington and seconded by Tolsma to
approve of the State Fee's for plumbing and electrical.
Kingsford: If this passes and it's not in the Ordinance we'll
except this as instruction to prepare the Ordinance.
Motion Carried: All Yea:
Forrey: The Park Development Fee — this 963 lots that have come
in, just do a little math in your mind and you think gee at
$100.00 a lot the amount of money we could have collected for
acquisition of park land, what an opportunity every month and it
rolls past every month. I've talked with the Planning Director

of Boise City and they are down the road quite a ways in terms of
getting an Ordinance together to implement a impact fee for park
dedicated acquisition for park land. He said, in a gesture of
good cooperation, and because he did say that he felt on his end
that there were some strained relations on the Boise City Council
with their relationship with Meridian. He said the least we
could do is share, help and support you because you need parks as
much as we do. At least between the two of us we are going to
cooperate and see if we can get ahead of the curb a little bit
and eventually I hope get some type of impact or a development
fee here to get park land.
Yerrington: Have they indicated what type of fee they are
thinking of?
Forrey: Well he threw out numbers between three and four hundred
dollars per lot. I'll get that information to you when we meet.
The Highway District, I've talked with Mike Brokaw, who is the
Treasurer of the Highway District and they have a computer
program that processes all of their LID Assessments. We've got
one coming up on East First Street. I met with our computer
programmer and Mike Brokaw and they are going to cooperate and
ACHD is going to share some of that programming language that
again will go into our current computers. I think in another
week we'll be able to have LID Assessments just like the water
and sewer bills printing.
Computerized base map of Meridian. Geographic Information
Systems - maybe you've heard of GIS in terms of computerized
mapping. A Company in Boise by the name of GGI, a private firm,
years ago moved down the road of a private computerized map of
the entire county. It was ultimately sold and Ada County
purchased that so Ada County has developed a GIS Office funded by
the Commissioners and they purchased all of the computer files of
GGI. They are developing a base map of the County and every
street and lot line and utility line and sewer and water and
everything. To fund that they are asking for participants.
Boise is going to be paying about $169000.00 per year to be a
member of this mapping service and every two weeks Boise will get
an updated base map and a computerized disk format. Then their
Public Works Department will take that and add a layer over that
base map of whatever they want, be it zoning, water lines, sewer
lines, crime, whatever information that any of these departments
want to keep. Eagle is considering buying into that, Kuna,
Garden City,

and they've approached Meridian. I got a copy of the letter that
was sent by Commissioner Bisterfelt wanting Meridian to join in.
They told me on the phone it's going to be somewhere around five
to seven thousand dollars per year to be a participate. That
means every two weeks Meridian would get an updated base map. We
don't have the capability to put layers over the top but there
are firms that do. I think Hubble Engineers has that capability,
I know JUB Engineers has that capability. I'd like you to think
about this. There is another meeting the 28th to discuss who is
going to participate.
Giesler: Is this something that we could go over and look at or
something like that?
Forrey: They are going to unveil it April 28th. The City
received an invitation to attend it will be at the County
Administration Building at 1:00 P.M.. I think it's a pretty
inexpensive way to get accurate base maps.
Kingsford: I would encourage you to attend this if possible.
Eng. Smith: I've been working with the APA mapping people and
our last City map that was updated is dated August 1992. I've
been working with them trying to get an updated map of our City
and the last conversation I had with them was that the computer
has been down for three or four weeks and they don't know when
it's going to be back up.
Kingsford: This may be something that the Police Department
possibly could benefit from.
Eng. Smith: One of the things that we're extremely lacking on
now in the Public Works Department is our sewer and water maps.
They are extremely out of date and we just haven't had time to
get them updated. This would be one way of course, these layers
that you could have placed over the base map.
Kingsford: Let's look at that and certainly all departments
should consider that in their budget.
Corrie: I have a question on this impact fee about parks. I
think that's an excellent idea. How far can we go beyond parks?
How about public safety? I mean are we limited somewhere where
we can put an impact fee? I'm thinking police, fire, public
safety, we're going to need money. Is that possible through an
impact fee as well or are we limited?

Kingsford: I think that the impact legislation was interesting
it has specifically applied to County's over 100,000 population.
I think it allows for a variety of things. I'd sure like us to
take a good look at this. Maybe it's appropriate that we ask
developers.
Giesler: Has Mr. Covino had his hearing yet?
Kingsford: He did not show up. I believe they agreed to re—
schedule another.
Giesler: I had a little problem with the letter we'd received
from Ada County from Larry Sale regarding that sidewalk. In
conversation with him the next day he said he's be happy to meet
with us at another meeting to discuss that letter. They feel
that they were in fact wrong in allowing that to be a sidewalk
and that the City does not have to agree with that letter. We
can make whatever adjustments we want in that so I would like the
Council to think about that and go over and look at that. I
cannot believe that they put that kind of liability on themselves
and the City to allow that a sidewalk. If that issue does come
up again I would like everyone to be real aware of that letter we
received from them and go over and look at that.
Kingsford: I think that the Highway District really hung us out
to dry because I think our motion was that it be sidewalked to
ACHD Standards and they write a letter approving that. I did
discuss that with Chris Schwartoff when he was out and he is
aware of our displeasure.
Corrie: This is National Volunteer Week and I'd like to
recognize the Fire Department Volunteers. All the men and women
that volunteer their time with the Fire Department and the GRU.
They do an outstanding job.
I had a letter in reference to soft ball fields and I'm going to
turn it over to Councilman Tolsma and I think it's pretty well
handled. It's a scheduling problem that some of them are having.
Tolsma: I think we owe Jerry Snodgrass a word of thanks on the
great job he did.
Kingsford: Patsy has done a marvelous job. She did that with
very limited funds and she has raised most of the money herself.

Yerrington: TNT Furniture down there, the old Calhoun's place,
has got junk in back of that place north of the building. What
can we do about it? Can we have Wayne write him a letter?
Kingsford: We can look at the zoning issue and respond
accordingly.
Tolsma: Expressed concerns about a sheet metal shop moving in
the back half of the Carpet Store.
Kingsford: We need to take a look at the zoning issues on that.
It is Secretary's work, some of the girls do an excellent job and
I'd like to pat them on the back. Also it's tough for me to say
but by law we have to have a City Clerk, I did make a temporary
appointment and it's the responsibility of the Council then to
affirm of my appointment of Wayne Forrey as the City of Meridian
City Clerk.

of Wayne Forrey as the City Clerk.

Phone (208) 888-1622
Christ Lutheran Church, 1406 W. Cherry Lane, is planning for
an education addition to its present structure this year. To
assist us in this, we have asked our national Church body (The
Lutheran Church -Missouri Synod) to assign a team of workers
from their nationwide pool of laborers known as Laborers for
Christ. Laborers for Christ are retired carpenters, handymen,
and other "willing workers" who have committed themselves to
employment, at minimum wage, by congregations in constructing
church facilities.
Many of these laborers bring their travel trailers to the
building site and live in these during the time they are working
on the structure. We could have as many as five (5) persons
to a team - and thus, five (5) trailers.
We are requesting from the Meridian City Council
for these trailers to be positioned on our church
the above address for approximately three months
and August of this year. We further request that
to install temporary hookups for sewer and power
into our current facilities. We feel there will
effect on the surrounding neighborhood for this
of time.
Sincerely,

MEMORANDUM
Serving Governments in Ada County Since 1977
TO: Mayor Grant Kingsford
Meridian City Council
FROM: Ery Olen, P.E., Deputy Director �4f
DATE: April 7, 1993
RE: Review of Draft Pathway Plan
SUGGESTED ACTION
None required - The Mayor and Council are asked to review the current recommendations in
the attached draft Pathway Plan for Ada County and provide your feedback/input.
BACKGROUND
As a result of significant public comment, in the adoption of the 2010 Transportation Plan,
the Ada Planning Association Board directed that a Pathway Plan be developed. APA staff
formed 18 Pathway Task Forces representing geographic areas throughout Ada County and
involving over 300 citizens. These citizens identified pathway needs from a recreational and
transportation standpoint. While the draft plan was being formulated, staff worked with the
Ada County Highway District, the five cities, Ada County and the Idaho Transportation
Department to identify pathway projects that could be funded through new federal programs
from the new highway act (ISTEA). To date we have received approval on over $800,000
worth of Pathway projects throughout Northern Ada County.
STATUS
We are taking the draft Pathway Plan to member agencies and the public for review and
comment. A public hearing is scheduled on April 29, 1993 at Boise Centre on the Grove
to receive formal public comment. The Pathway Plan will be taken to the Ada Planning
Association Board in May for their endorsement and then sent to the member governments
for formal adoption.
Ross Dodge and I will be available at your April 20, 1993 meeting to review this document
with you, answer any questions you may have and seek your support. We appreciate your
taking the time to review this important document with us.

units of government and incorporate into local
planning documents and processes.
The plan is divided into two phases. Phase I is the
short-term strategy that makes up the bulls of this plan
with aJ ro'ected time -frame of approximately five
P -
years. Phase 11 represents V k long-term strategy of this
-plan and is less defined than Phase L
Phase I of the pathway Plan identifies a five-year
program of specific projects. HWy funding sources
with which to construct those projects. and an
organizational structure to oversee the interests of
pathway users.
PHASE 1
Specific Projects
Projects for Phase I encompass au three identified
pathway components. Phase I maps have been
developed to show existing and proposed pathways for
each component. They are intended to be used as a
flexible planning tool -for the next five years and
represent a balanced approach to the three pathway
components.
N.
Approximate mileage represented on the Phase I maps
is as follows:
on -Street 75
Multiple -Use Paths 30
Multiple -Use Traits 60
PHASE I
Funding Recommendation
A combination of several funding sources is required
to implement a pathway plan. The five-year total cost
estimate for phase I of this plan is $9.8 million. This
includes: — -_-
Maintenance $1.000,000
Construes $8,350.000
Action $450.000
The plan has identified specific sources of funding that
can be used to implement this plan. The table below
summarizes the annual and five-year contributions of
each sours.

To: Mayor, City Clerk, Council
From: Janice Gass, City Treasurer
Due to the increase in volume of building in Meridian, I propose
we issue permit books to Plumbing & Electrical Contractors. This
would leave the paper work up to the contractors and ease the
work load at the front desk.
1. All fees will be changed to equal those charged by the
state.
2. Only one book will be issued at a time.
3. Payment must be received within 7 calendar days of
request for first inspection. If payment is not
received within the allotted time period, the permit
fee will automatically double. Nonpayment will result
in revoking of the contractors license.
4. Builders will NOT be able to get the final inspection
or occupancy certificate until all fees are paid.
With a software program, we would record the information as the
inspections are called in and payments are received. We would be
able to research permits taken out by permit number or by address
at anytime.

BEFORE THE MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL
APPLICATION OF THE DEVELOPMENT GROUP
FOR A VARIANCE FROM 11-9-605 M PIPING OF DITCHES
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS
The above entitled variance request having come on for
consideration on April 6, 1993, at approximately 7:30 o'clock p.m.
on said date, at the Meridian City Hall, 33 East Idaho Street,
Meridian, Idaho, and the City Council having heard and taken oral
and written testimony, the City Council of the City of Meridian
makes the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. That notice of the public hearing on the variance was
published for two consecutive weeks prior to the scheduled hearing
for April 6, 1993, 1992, the first publication of which was fifteen
(15) days prior to said hearing; that the matter was duly
considered at the April 6, 1993, hearing; that copies of all
notices were available to newspaper, radio and television stations.
2. That notice of public hearing is required to be sent to
property owners within 300 feet of the external boundaries of the
land being considered pursuant to 11-2-416 E., 11-2-419 D., and 11-
9-612 B. l.b. of the Revised and Compiled Ordinances of the City of
Meridian; that this requirement has been met.
3. That Ordinance 11-9-605 M PIPING OF DITCHES, requires all
irrigation ditches, laterals or canals, exclusive of natural
waterways, intersecting, crossing or lying adjacent and contiguous,
or which canals, ditches or laterals touch either or both sides of
the area being subdivided, shall be covered and enclosed with
tiling or other covering equivalent in ability to detour access to
said ditch, lateral or canal.
4. That the Applicant has requested a variance from the
above ditch piping requirements and be allowed not to pipe the
Kennedy Lateral but to fence the ditch.
5. The entire property in question is described in the
variance application and is incorporated herein as if set forth in
full.
6. That the property in the area where the variance is
requested is zoned R-4 Residential and is proposed to be used in
that fashion.
7. That the Applicant stated at the hearing that the piping
of the ditch would require a siphon, that tiling would create a
mound, that it would be a barrier to Calderwood Street, and that
the ditch is quite large to be tiled and such would be cost
prohibitive; in the application, in answer to the question why the
granting of the variances would not confer upon the Applicant
special privileges that are denied to other lands in the same
district, the Applicant states as follows: "It is our belief that
the Kennedy Lateral should be allowed to remain an open ditch as it
traverses through all affected parcels of land due to its size and
water capacity requirements."; that in response to the question
what special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar
to the land, structure, or building involved and which are not
applicable to other lands, structures, or buildings in the same
district, the Applicant states as follows: "No special
circumstances exist. However, due to the size of the Kennedy
Lateral and the amount of water flowing through it, it would be
cost prohibitive to install a pipeline of sufficient size to meet
the needs of the irrigation district."
8. That the Applicant owns the property.
9. That no people appeared at the hearing objecting to the
variance application.
CONCLUSIONS
1. That all the procedural requirements of the Local
Planning Act and of the Ordinances of the City of Meridian have
been met including the mailing of notice to owners of property
within 300 feet of the external boundaries of the Applicant's
property.
2. That the City has authority to grant variances pursuant
to Section 11-2-419 of the Zoning Ordinance and pursuant to Section
11-9-612 of the Development Ordinances and under 11-9-605 M the
City may waive the requirement of piping ditches if the City
Council finds that the public purpose requiring such will not be
served in the individual case.
3. That the City Council has judged this application by the
guidelines, standards, criteria, and policies contained in the
Subdivision and Development Ordinance and upon the record submitted
to it and the things upon which it may take judicial notice.
4. That the Council may take judicial notice of its own
proceedings, those of the Commission, governmental statutes,
ordinances, and policies, and of actual conditions existing within
the City and the State.
5. That the following provisions of Section 11-9-605 M
PIPING OF DITCHES, of the Subdivision and Development Ordinance are
noted which is pertinent to the Application:
All irrigation ditches, laterals or canals, exclusive of
natural waterways, intersecting, crossing or lying adjacent
and contiguous, or which canals, ditches or laterals touch
either or both sides of the area being subdivided, shall be
covered and enclosed with tiling or other covering equivalent
in ability to detour access to said ditch, lateral or canal.
The City may waive this requirement for covering such ditch,
lateral or canal, if it finds that the public purpose
requiring such will not be served in the individual case. Any
covering program involving the distribution system of any
irrigation district shall have the prior approval of that
affected district. . . .
6. That the specific requirements regarding a variance
that must be evidenced and found by the City Council are as
follows:
11-9-612 A. 2., FINDINGS
No variance shall be favorably acted upon by the Council
unless there is a finding, as a result of a public hearing,
that all of the following exist:
a. That there are such special circumstances or conditions
affecting the property that the strict application of the
provisions of this Ordinance would clearly be
impracticable or unreasonable; in such cases, the
subdivider shall first state his reasons in writing as to
the specific provision or requirement involved;
b. That strict compliance with the requirements of this
Ordinance would result in extraordinary hardship to the
subdivider because of unusual topography, the nature or
condition of adjacent development, other physical
conditions or other conditions that make strict
compliance with this Ordinance unreasonable under the
circumstances, or that the conditions and requirements of
this Ordinance will result in inhibiting the achievement
or objectives of this Ordinance.
0
C. That the granting of the specified variance will not be
detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other
property in the area in which the property is situated;
d. That such variance will not violate the provisions of the
Idaho Code; and
e. That such variance will not have the effect of nullifying
the interest and purpose of this Ordinance and the
Comprehensive Development Plan.
7. That there does appear to be a specific benefit or
profit, economic gain or convenience to the Applicant in that the
ditch was in existence at the time that the Applicant purchased the
property; that the City has required other developers to tile
ditches; that the granting of this variance would be of specific
economic gain to the Applicant because the ditch would not have to
be tiled and such would save the Applicant money; that the variance
would be of benefit to the Applicant because other developers have
had to pay for tiling of ditches; that it is likely that additional
residential development would occur on the west side of the ditch.
8. That it is concluded that the size of the ditch is a
substantial reason for having the ditch tiled rather than a reason
for granting a variance from the requirement of tiling it.
9. That the requirement of tiling ditches is a health and
safety requirement; that there are children who drown in ditches in
Ada County and the Treasure Valley almost every irrigation season,
particularly in ditches the size of the Kennedy Lateral; that the
City has experienced a public outcry from residents adjacent to a
ditch in Glennfield Manner to have a ditch tiled when the developer
failed to tile a ditch many years ago which was shown on the plat
of the subdivision that it would be tiled but was not.
10. That regarding Section 11-9-612 A. 2., regarding the cul-
de -sac length, it is specifically concluded as follows:
a. That there are no special circumstances or conditions
affecting the property that the strict application of the
provisions of the ditch tiling Ordinance would clearly be
unreasonable.
b. That strict compliance with the requirements of the ditch
tiling Ordinance would not result in extraordinary
hardship to the applicant as a result of factors not
self-inflicted since the ditch and the tiling requirement
were in existence when the Applicant purchased the
property; that there were no factors, physical or
economical, unknown to the Applicant that support a
granting of a variance.
C. That the granting of a variance would be detrimental to
the public's welfare and possibly injurious to the
public.
d. That the variance would have the effect of altering the
interests and purposes of the ditch tiling Ordinance
which is included in the Subdivision and Development
Ordinance for safety purposes.
9. That it would not be in the best interest of the City to
grant the variance; that the public purpose requiring tiling would
not be served by the granting of this variance; that it is
concluded the Application for a variance from the 11-9-605 M PIPING
OF DITCHES should be denied.

The City Council of the City of Meridian does hereby approve
these Findings of Fact and Conclusions.
