Matlock: "No I haven't, they called me week ago Friday and I am supposed to have a side- walk and curb, which I have no way of putting in - the children don't use it as they are inside my home and yard." Williams: "The comments of the Highway District are well taken, but I think this time it would be a little far fetched for what is going to happen there."

Romans, Frontier Oil, presented sketch drawings of proposed conversion of the ~ ~ +former Meridian Boat Building, located on the corner of W. Ada and E. 1st, to a Goodyear., franchise. Romans stated, "there will be no mechanical done in this, it will strictly be the changing, and franchise of tires. The outside will be radio controlled trucks, service to farms and also commercial farms. I understand that there was a problem with citizens not having' ` d walkway or sidewalk and the former owner parking boats to the street. There was an old ' gas pump island when Mr. Bodine was there and I think we will make a planter or may need this area for parking. We would remodel that building for retail tire sales." i Romans stated they have ten (10) parking spaces and would have access to additional parking in another compound. He was not the one that bought the building, but the tentativelessee~. Building Inspector had requested the building up to code. Romans felt anything they did would be an asset to Meridian and intended to bring the building up to code. Chief Sherwin questioned if'there would be off street parking. Romans: "If we put sidewalks along there, that should eliminate that - of course there won't be any truck service done there." ,- Meridian City Hall .2. October 20, 1980 Mayor: "There needs to be sidewalks there." Welker: "Will there be any recapping there?" " Romans: "No. Goodyear, on occasion runs a special on lubrication to see the impact of their advertising." Orton: "You do not need a change of zone." Romans: "We just want to bring it up to code and the permission to make this building attractive by remodeling and go to business in Meridian." Kingsford: "I'm for that - anything you can do will improve it." Williams: "The only concern I have is if this ever goes four lane parking along the street (E. lst) is going to be 'not at all'." Romans: "Mr. Schoen told me. This compound over here is quite large and would beadequatE' P~ayor: "You do have an agreement with the owner of that property?" Romans: "We do, with the one that has it leased now." Williams: "I wouldn't want you to be hit cold if that street went four lanes - we want your planning to go accordingly." Romans: "If we can't get in now before winter comes in, we might as well wait to next April because the ti re business is January and February." Brewer: "There was a water problem there and if I remember right, there is no storm drain on that corner, I'm wondering if you curb and gutter and sidewalk it, what will the water problem be then?" There_was discussion concerning the water build up. Stuart: "The crossing from Ada and E. 1st is so high the water can't drain off. The only way would dig down and put a drain under Ada St. so it would drain." Brewer: "I would like to see a way to cure that problem if they are going to put that kind of money - would you be willing to look into that?" Romans: "I would think this would be up to the street department." Ptayor: "State Highway." Romans: "If they build a new highway, they will have to put drains." Mayor: "They will if they change the highway." Brewer: "Your concept is good, it's just that that has really been a swamp down there and can't help but think a new sidewalk and curb is going to act as a dam - it will keep the water off of your property." Installation of a storm drain was discussed. Romans questioned if he could go a+~ead with other phases of remodeling, etc. to pace time frame for this business and hold up on curb and sidewalk until the problem of storm drain was decided. _ _ _ - - --- Kingsford: "I would like to see the sidewalk, curbs and landscaping go in at this time and work with the State and Ada County Highway District to see if we can't move that water out." Williams: "The water is going to be there whether you are there or the building stands empty. I would rather see this improvement than standing empty - I think this is what we're down to." The Motion was made by Williams and seconded by Orton to approve this wholesale tire out- let, located at 331 E. lst. Motion Carried: Williams, yea; Kingsford, yea; Brewer, yea; Orton, yea. Mayor: "Welcome to the community - Chamber of Commerce is right down the street." Romans thanked the Mayor and Council.
