KINGSFORD Mayan August 16, 1994 Reed Coleman Key Bank of Idaho RE: Funding and Development of Back Nine trloles at Cherry Lane Golf Course Dear Mr. Coleman, As Mayor, one of my major goals has been to see the back nine holes of Cherry Lane Golf Course developed. I have proposed and have tentative support from the Council for the following. That the City will lead the economic development corporation funds equaling a lot fee to be agreed upon by the City and the two developers to be collected at building permit stage. The lot fee will be increased by the Prime rate at some bank, so as to meet the requirements of loan repayment with interest to the City. I am prepared to start development of the three holes involving the Steiner Corporation regardless of what the time table that might be presented by the developer of the remaining six holes (i.e. Boise Research Center). It is my intent to commence development of the golf course in the early spring of 1995 assuming that we have received a de d to the property. Should you have and _ further questions please feel free to contact me at City Hall. Sincerely, L~~~ , Grant P.

' July 18, _ 1995 Ma or Grant Kin sford ~Q..~ Y g City of Meridian 33 East Idaho Meridian, ID 83642 RE: Ashford Greens Subdivision Dear Mayor Kingsford: Thank you for meeting with me at your office on July 11 to discuss some of the development issues we aze working on in Meridian City. I am working on the items we discussed for the Ashford Greens Golf Course property dedication as follows: 1. Pro-rating taxes and assessments from the date of dedication 2. Deleting the .reservation of easements and providing a separate document sufficient to guarantee that the reciprocal easements needed for storm drain, irrigation, and other utilities aze granted over the 6-7 golf course holes bordered by our development. 3. Deleting the reservation of easements for the water wells and providing a separate document covering the joint use and access to existing well sites for both Meridian City and Brighton Corporation. 4. Adding a clause to the paragraph titled "Temporary Construction Easement" to the effect that Brighton Corporation will not unreasonably interfere with the construction ,operation, or maintenance of the golf course. As we discussed, my bank (First Security Bank), as a condition of its financing commitment, requires written confirmation from Meridian City as to the date construction of the golf course is to commence, the date it is to be completed, and the source(s) of funding. I also need a timeline commitment for Meridian City's construction of the !ift station for Blackcat Road. I appreciate your cooperation in this matter. Sincerely, y~~ ;~G~G~~~'G~ David W. Turnbull DWT/hs 12301 W. Explorer Drive, Suite 200 • Boise, Idaho 83713 TEL 208-378-4000 FAX 208-377-8962 Br~i hton g Corporation July 18, 1995 Mayor Grant Kingsford City of Meridian 33 East Idaho Meridian, ID 83642 RE: Ashford Greens Subdivision Dear Mayor Kingsford: Pursuant to our meeting with Mr. Wally Lovan at the Cherry Lane Golf Course Club House on July 12, I would like to confirm the following points of discussion: GOLF COURSE FUNDING. The City has committed $350,000 from the City's Enterprise Fund (sewer fund) for installation of the improvements to the golf course. This is to be repaid by a fee assessed on each building permit issued in the Ashford Greens and the Lake at Cherry Lane Subdivisions of $650 per unit. The fee would be indexed annually at the investment rate of the fund. Although we did not discuss Steine~s recent annexation and plat request for the Teeter property, I assume this development would be included in the same arrangement and would pay an equivalent fee per unit. You stated that there is also an ongoing fundraising effort. to raise private tf'inds~in addition to the pity funds~committed with the stated goal of raising $500,000 and the expectaUo~n o ~~raising at least $200,000. You also stated ,/ that the City is also soliciting volunteer labor and suppliers to augment the .%~`"'` ``~'~`"~~ funds committed through the Enterprise Fund and the private fund raising. We i % i, ~~}. are pleased to hear of these ongoing efforts and are hopeful that the City will V ~ rs~ have extra funds to accomplish a first class golf course. 2. GOLF COURSE CONSTRUCTION TIMETABLE. Aground breaking ceremony was held on July 11. Actual construction of the course is expected to begin S~mer/Fall of 1995 with completic~u~r Fall of 1996. ~T~ie course is expected to be playable by $~iu@/Summ of 1997. I am to check with Hubble Engineering on the possibility of staking the course 12301 W. Explorer Drive, Suite 200 ~ Boise, Idaho 83713 TEL 208-378-4000 FAX 208-377-8962 f - boundaries in advance. You were scheduled to meet with Dave Peugh on July 14 and contact me with the resin of that meeting. 3. CLUB HOUSE CONSTRUCTIOhT -EXTENSION OF ROAD. Based on the schedule for the completion of the- golf course, it appears that the club house should be completed and ready to open at about the time the new 9 holes are open for play (Spring/Summer 199'n. Brighton Corporation has commenced planning for the 15 acres area designated for medium density housing. We will submit an application late Summer/early Fall of this year. You indicated a hearing process of approximately 3 months. Once we have approval from City Council, it will take approximately 1 month to process engineering drawings and 2 months for processing the engineered drawings through ACRD, Meridian City, and DEQ. Processing time through Meridian City will be the key. When all approvals are in place, we will commence construction of the medium density project, which will include extension of the street and utilities to the clubhouse area. If all goes accordng to this schedule, we will begin construction in Spring 1996 with completion in the Summer 1996. Of course, the faster the approvals are obtained, the faster we can move. 4. MAINTENANCE BUII.DINGS. An area south of the proposed clubhouse location and west of the practice green and current #1 green was designated as an area for maintenance buildings. This will need to be laid out by Wally's architect. We would want to see t~ality materials in the construction and sufficient landscape screening to mitigate the street exposure impact. I trust this summary of our meeting meets with your understanding. I would appreciate the release of the Ashford Greens No. 1 plans approved for construction but currently being held by Gary Smith subject to your approval. Please call if you have any questions. I look forward to continuing a good working relationship in this golf course project and the sunrot.-,nding development. Sincerely, David W. Turnbull DWTlhs Meridian City Council July 5, 1995 Page 14 ' Smith: I don't believe I have any other comments, unless you have some questions of me or Superintendent Stuart, Bruce is here tonight. Kingsford: We are blessed indeed to have Bruce with us. Does the Council have any questions of the pressure issue or the amount of water that was pumped. There is a very detailed document Gary put together on that issue I'm sure you were assisted by the Water Department. Morrow: My only comment would be a note of congratulations, those guys have done a hell of a job trying to get this thing chased down and put back together and they have worked very diligently at it for the last 2 weeks that I am aware of, 3 weeks that I am aware of. I for one would like to acknowledge that I think they are doing a really fine job researching it. I was kind of in on it from the very beginning and boy they had no place to start from and they have come from zero a long ways out in a very short period of time. A note of thanks for doing a heck of a job there for us. Kingsford: One of the things that Gary has I think expressed to this group and he and I have discussed at some length is the issue of tying some of the wells by zone into pressurize in the system rather than to have to be activated by the telemetries in the tower. I think certainly that is going to improve the pressure issue. I think if there is a problem out there being an old irrigator I think it probably rests in the fact that we have too small of pipes in the main part of town. I think our consulting engineer back eons ago when that was put together that thought a ten inch pipe would be adequate failed to run his calculator properly. We would have been a lot better served to have 14 or 16 inch pipe going out, maybe 10 out at the perimeter but I think given where we are at we are going to have to have those zones. Again I don't think we have a problem with the volume of water, we are going to have to make sure the pressure is there. It might necessitate booster pumps in some areas and so on. I also appreciate the effort that Bruce and Gary and the crew have put in on that. Anything else Gary? Smith: I just want to thank you for your comments and give Bruce a pat on the back -_ because he fields telephone calls from residents and he has been keeping track of things fro me. He has been making some very good suggestions to try and remedy the situation. I want to pass that along to him and his staff. Kingsford: Shari? Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council this is an item that Mayor you had requested I put on the agenda, the impact fee for the golf course. Impact fee may not be the appropriate terminology it has been discussed as $650 a unit and I don't know how that is being worked out whether it is a written agreement with those developers. The impact fee Meridian City Council July 5, 1995 Page 15 ' ordinance doesn't preclude private agreemerrts with developers. Just for your information the fees generated from Ashford Greens and The Lake at Cherry Lane No. 3 and 4 at total build out will be $353,600. Kingsford: The reason that is slightly higher than what we had budgeted we have moved that figure from $600 to $650 at the agreement of both of the developers. For the Council's information I am requesting we have a contract with the City that it be collected so that everyone is aware. Morrow: I think the terminology of impact fee here is incorrect. Kingsford: Golf course development fee. Morrow: It is by their choosing that it is not included in the price of the lat. Historically every subdivision that I have built in on goff courses we have bought part of the golf course in the price that we paid for the lot. It is by their desire here that it not be incorporated in the pricing of the lot. So in noway shape or form is this an impact fee or any fee that the City is proposing for this. This is by them determining that they don't want this within their lot fee. All they are doing is contracting to collect, for us to collect it directly at point of building permit. So I don't want the terminology here to indicate in any way shape or form that it is an impact fee or anything of the sort. It is not. Kingsford: The issue is and has been there has to be a golf course there, the developer struck and agreement with myself and this Council and previous Council's, part of this Council and previous Council's to develop the golf course and then not have to front the money. This is the vehicle used, so I agree with you it is certainly not an impact fee in that sense. And also for the Council's information the additional lots in Cherry Lane Subdivision No. 3 $100 that Mr. White agreed to collect for golf course expansion will be on top of this. And likewise the monies that voluntarily were collected by Golfview Estates No. 1 would be on tr.,~ of this. So we will be in excess and of course we wily ~nrant to reflect that in the next fiscal years budget, additional monies there. Thank you Shari. Gary? Smith: Mr. Mayor I forgot one item that I would like to ask you to. Kingsford: I'm sorry you had your chance. Smith: Oh, okay, on Bedford Place Subdivision I think I put a copy of a memo that I wrote in your box along with a copy of item #23 of the development agreement. I had visited with Mayor Kingsford on this issue when I wrote the memorandum or excuse me prior to that memorandum. The Mayor asked me to write this up and distribute it to you so you would have some background information on the subject. I think my memorandum spells out Meridian City Council July 5, 1995 Page 19 from the courts than so be it. But I don't see how that affects what our requirements are as a City. Kingsford: I agree. Morrow: I throw that on the table. Corrie: Mr. Mayor I talked to Helen Alidjani last week. Their attorney's go together and they agreed that Moe Alidjani will take over the school building and he has said he was going to put up boarding of all the windows and that is as far as I have heard from him. He has taken over the responsibility so I suggest that we go after Moe and get whatever needs to be done at this point. Helen is, her attorney has advised her to do it that way, she has agreed and it is all in Moe's hands. Morrow: Well I think from the City's standpoint we need to see that in writing from her attorney and from she. Corrie: That is fine. Morrow: (Inaudible) as co-owners of the property, all of our correspondence ought to be addressed to them as co-owners and. let them resolve their own issues. Kingsford: Our interest is in securing the building. It is probably appropriate for a motion to have the Counselor address those issues to them. Morrow: So moved Corrie: Second Kingsford: Mov:d by Walt, second by Bob to have the City attorney ;advise the Alidjani's of the need to secure the building posthaste, all those in favor? Opposed? MOTION CARRIED: All Yea Kingsford: Anything else Walt? Max Yerrington: Nothing Kingsford: Bob Corrie: Yes, 2 things Mr. Mayor one is I would like to back up a little but on this golf Meridian City Council July 5, 1995 Page 20 ' course $650 per unit and see if I understand this correctly. The developer has requested that the City collect this at the time of the building permit. They have requested this, this is the request from those 2 developers. Is that on each lot that is out there? Kingsford: It would be on each unit, in some cases they would be condominiums. So that would be per unit. Corrie: This is over a period of time from wherever they start at that point. Kingsford: In the agreement that they have as I have indicated to you before they recognize that the price of that will go up each year subject to what interest we would be able to make on her money. So it is to recapture full payment of the money that we lend. Corrie: So this is strictly a developer's request that the City do this, this is not our request that they do that, but the developer has requested the City do this? What I am getting at is I want to make sure that the developer is the one that is requesting the $650 per unit to come back to the City from the money that we are fronting on this $350,000 and will be $650 they understand that as the time goes by. But it is not the City that is doing the $650 request. Kingsford: Both developers requested of the City that we do that in lieu of them having the develop the golf course and fronting that money. That is correct. Corrie: I just want to make sure of that. I have one other thing Mr. Mayor, the Council, I don't know if they have seen the state seal above the fire station. Kingsford: City seal Corrie: I'm sorry I am going from city to state, the City seal, it was not quite the same as they I^~ esented here you are aware of that. They did have some conflict with the Rural _ Commissioners about this and you may be aware of that. Also, we kind of had aproblem -_" with that up there doing this we have cracked the ceiling in the fire department. Just to be -' aware that has to be repaired. I guess they are trying to get it so.to seal it so I don't think we can seal yet at this point. I really don't want anybody else up on that roof I think Walt and I discussed this earlier today and he think its (inaudible) somebody may fall through or whatever the case may be. Also, I don't know where we are on this yet Mr. Mayor but I know the rural commissioners are not too sure of that either. Kingsford: I would suggest that the Council take a look at it quickly in the event that you have rain and that is going to be damage to the ceiling will be out of the question.
