Mayor Tammy de Weerd
De Weerd: I will go ahead and call this meeting to order. Good evening. Thank you for
joining us. It is Tuesday -- I'm sorry. It is Wednesday. We never meet on
Wednesdays. But it is Wednesday, July 5th. It's five minutes after 7:00. We will start
with roll call attendance.
Item 2: Pledge of Allegiance:
De Weerd: Thank you. If you will all rise and join us in the pledge of allegiance.
(Pledge of allegiance recited.)
Item 3: Community Invocation by Bishop David Keeley with LDS:
De Weerd: Item No. 3 is our community invocation. Tonight we will be led by Bishop
David Keeley with the LDS Church. If you will all rise and join us in the community
invocation or take this opportunity for a moment of silence. If you will step up to the
microphone, please.
Keeley: Our Father in Heaven, we are, indeed, grateful for this opportunity that we have
to be gathered as members of this great nation here upon this earth. We are grateful
for this opportunity that we have to discuss the affairs of men and for the great
Constitution which thou has set forth in these, the latter days, to enable us to grow and
to have the freedoms that we have and we are grateful for those freedoms. We would
ask for thy blessings to be upon this meeting this evening, Father, that it will be here to
inspire those who will be part of this meeting that they will be able to look for the
greatest good amongst the people of Meridian city. We pray for this Council and for our
Mayor. We ask thy blessings upon them, that they will be inspired to be able to read the
Meridian City Council

minds of the people and to do that which is in their best interest. And, Father, we now
invoke that presence here this evening and do so in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
De Weerd: Bishop, I would like to present you with a City of Meridian pin for joining us
this evening and thank you.
Keeley: Thank you.
De Weerd: Council, I would also like to thank you for carrying on business in my
absence. I guess I was struck with our invocation. I have spent the last two weeks with
my family. One, certainly advocating for transportation relief with our congressional
delegation, but, two, we spent a lot of time walking through the years of the
Revolutionary War and how liberty and freedom came to pass here in our country. So, I
appreciate you carrying on business and, certainly, I feel a lot richer in having the
historical basis that I gained during our vacation and survived 24-7 with my family, so --
Canning: Did you survive or did they survive?
Item 4: Adoption of the Agenda:
De Weerd: Both. It was a mutual thing. Item No. 4, adoption of the agenda.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: We have been asked to add one item under Department Reports. The City Clerk
would like to discuss a fireworks item. And the last item, No. 19 -- or 15 on the regular
agenda, the ordinance number is 06-1241. And with that I move that we approve the
revised agenda.
Rountree: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. I have a motion to approve the agenda as stated. All those in favor
say aye. All ayes. Motion carried.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Item 5: Consent Agenda:

Berg, will you, please, call roll.
Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Wardle, yea; Borton, yea.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Item 6: Department Reports:
A. Mayor's Office:
1. Tabled from June 27, 2006: Marketing Contract with
Resource Center. Inc.:
De Weerd: Thank you. Item 6 is from your agenda last week. I apologize that I didn't
have a written summary. This is for a marketing contract with the Resource Center to
support our economic development efforts. The funding for this is not tax dollars; it is
money that was raised last year from economic development partners. I understand
that one of the concerns was trying to share this with other funding partners. Well, it is,
it's one hundred percent funded from outside dollars. So, I did want to be available, too,
if you had any questions on it. Mr. Wardle?
Wardle: Thanks. Madam Mayor, if you will remember, my -- and I will apologize again,
I didn't have a thorough presentation for the Council on this item. I had, additionally,
some funding questions, which Cheryl Brown indicated -- if we remember, the economic
development group that was put together, private donations were raised, one of the
things that was asked of that group what specifically would they like to see your
donation put towards and one of the top priorities for them was a marketing piece that
could enable them to do more in the city to attract more business. So, for that
clarification, there you have it.
De Weerd: Thank you. We also e-mailed all of the funding partners, as well as the
Economic Advisory Council, and gave them an overview of what has happened over the
Meridian City Council
July 5, 2006
Page 4 of 29
last year and what some of those dollars would be spent for and we got agreement in
the direction that we were going with their -- spending their dollars. So, are there any
other questions on this? I would also like to note in my discussions with our
congressional delegation, in addition to our transportation discussions, I did talk about
the medical, health, science district and they are very excited about the direction the city
is going in that and want to be involved in any and every way they can. So, this
marketing package will also help in assisting them and some of the rolls that they can
play in the success of that district.
Borton: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Borton.
Borton: One question. I see on -- it's on page 17, makes reference to the logo
redesign. Is that changing the entire logo for the City of Meridian or is it part of this ED
program or what?
De Weerd: That is working a logo that compliments what the city has in more specific to
the economic development aspect of it.
Gorton: They are not changing -- or just the --
De Weerd: No. No.
Borton: Thank you.
De Weerd: Any other questions, Council?
Rountree: I have none.
De Weerd: I would seek your direction. Do you need further information or do you feel
comfortable moving forward with this contract?
Borton: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Borton.
Gorton: I'm curious. This is -- the funds went privately to -- donated to the city, then, the
city's going to use those funds for --
De Weerd: Yes.
Borton: Okay.
De Weerd: They have been held in a specific line dedicated specifically and it was
budgeted during the last budget year on this specific category.
Meridian Ciry Council
July 5, 2006
Page 5 of 29
Wardle: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: I guess one of the clarifications that I had for Councilman Borton is -- I mean
the term tax dollars -- these are still dollars that the city will be expending and so we
need to budget and appropriate them correctly and they fall under all those sorts of
things that -- the question the city asked is with this additional revenue coming in as a
donation, we ask for recommendations from the people that are donating the funds as
to what they would like to see and how that could further the economic development in
Meridian. So, I guess in that respect we are still charged with the stewardship of the
dollars that have been donated to the city and we are still, as I understand from Cheryl
Brown, seeking additional funds and we are -- it's an ongoing effort. Part of the
comments from Councilman Bird and some of the others is partnering with Chamber of
Commerce's additional organizations, those efforts are still underway, so that it hasn't
stopped any of this -- these dollars were appropriated out of funds that had already
been contributed.
De Weerd: Yes. We did carry them forward into this budget year and we did carry
them forward under the line item of promotional and marketing activities.
Wardle: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: If there aren't any further questions, I would move that we approve the
marketing contract with Resource Center, Incorporated.
Bird: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. I have a motion and a second to approve the contract with Resource
Center, Inc. If there is no further discussion, Mr. Berg, will you call roll.
Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Wardle, yea; Borton, yea.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
B. City Clerk -Kenny Hamilton fireworks request.
De Weerd: Thank you, Mr. Berg. Item 6-B is yours. Discussion on fireworks.
Berg: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. Today I had a request from
Kenny Hamilton to extend his fireworks display permit to July 8th. He used some very
common sense in not displaying his fireworks last night and he would like to display
them this Saturday.
Meridian City Council
July 5, 2006
Page 6 of 29
De Weerd: Okay. Council, any questions or concerns regarding that?
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I'm all for it, because he's already paid for them and they are sitting here. Our fire
department, I understand, has no problem with it. He -- like Will said, he used common
sense with the wind blowing and stuff, not to shoot them things off and there is no --
Rountree: If that's a motion, I'll second it.
Bird: All right. That's a motion.
De Weerd: That's an interesting motion, but we can handle it.
Wardle: Madam Mayor, just one point of clarification.
De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: What time are they going off, Mr. Berg?
Bird: Dusk.
De Weerd: At dusk.
Wardle: At dusk. Okay. After the races. Thank you.
De Weerd: After the races? I hope it's -- historically they have done it at dusk.
Bird: They do it at dusk and it will -- then, they will finish up the race.
De Weerd: Joe, do you have any concern?
Silva: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I was at the speedway yesterday and I
had done a site inspection of the fireworks show and everything seemed to be in order
and I echo the sentiments that it would have been -- probably be a risky thing with the
winds being as unpredictable last night as they were and we appreciated Mr. Hamilton's
willingness to cancel the show last night.
De Weerd: I might note that our fire department did put out a request to cease fireworks
during the windstorm and, in particular, to all the calls for service that we had last night.
There were an extraordinary amount of it and I know that chief had sent out a summary
of some of the happenings and this is one good steward that stepped up and did not set
those off. So, just a heads up, then, to the police department and the fire department
Meridian City Council
July 5, 2006
Page 7 of 29
that this will, then, go on and I will ask Shelly, our communications person, tomorrow to
help advertise for the speedway, that this will be going on, so our citizens can be in
attendance to enjoy it. Okay. Thank you.
Berg: Would you like to vote?
De Weerd: I'm sorry. Oh, yeah, you want to vote on this. Okay. I do have a motion
and a second. Mr. Berg, will you call roll.
Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Wardle, yea; Borton, yea.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Item 7: Items Moved from Consent Agenda:
De Weerd: There were no items moved from the Consent Agenda.
Item 8: Public Hearing: RZ 06-003 Request for a Rezone of 3.13 acres from R-4
(Low-Density Residential) to L-O (Limited Office) zone, including
modifications to the existing Development Agreement for Lochsa Falls
Subdivision for Hastings by Monterey, LLC - 2300 West Everest Lane:
Item 9: Public Hearing: VAC 06-006 Request for a Vacation of the existing
public utilities, irrigation and lot drainage easement on both sides of the lot
line common to Lots 46 and 47, Block 49, Lochsa Falls Subdivision No.
12 for Hastings by Monterey, LLC - 2300 West Everest Lane:
De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. Items 8 and 9 are public hearings on RZ 06-003 and
VAC 06-006. I will open these two public hearings with staff comments.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, this is the Hastings project. It's
located south of Chinden Road near Long Lake Way. It's these two lots on Everest
Street. Everest Street is a private lane. As you can see from the zoning designation,
it's currently zoned R-4. These office lots or office and retail lots were approved with
Lochsa Falls development. The thought at that time was to not get different zoning on
these, to keep the original residential zoning, but at my request these -- the applicant
has offered to rezone the property to L-O to reflect the allowed uses on that property.
So, you have two applications before you. One is the rezone request and one is the
vacation of easements for the -- that runs down the side lot line between those two
properties. The rezone is for 3.13 acres and it would be from R-4 to L-O. And, again,
that's to make the zoning consistent with the uses that were approved through the
planned development. And the vacation is for the existing public utilities, irrigation, and
lot drainage easement. This area will be replatted through the short plat process. It is
two lots currently. And this is what the new development will look like. And here you
can see the two lots. They are proposing a total of one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight structures eventually. And we do -- we have approved short plat applications
Meridian City Council
July 5, 2006
Page 8 of 29
currently for this project as you see it, they are just waiting on the rezone before they
can be signed and recorded. The two structures in front were the subject of a
Conditional Use Permit earlier this year. Each lot is required to provide a Conditional
Use Permit -- or gain conditional use approval before construction and that -- I have
some elevations of that, just so you can see what kind of structures they are looking at.
These weren't really part of this application, but I knew you would want to know what
they were putting on there. So, here is some elevations. The notification for this project
mentions a development agreement modification and to our knowledge one is not
required. We are not sure if that was put on at the applicant's request. The
Commission -- Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend approval at their
May 18th, 2006, Public Hearing. Nate Hosac spoke in favor at that hearing. No one
spoke in opposition or commented. The key issues of discussion were a sidewalk
requirement on the south side of the property along the north side of Everest Lane.
And, again, this is a private street and this private street came up in discussion when we
were talking about the -- it's either Knight Hill or Knight Sky, I forget which one is here at
the corner. And there was discussion about getting sidewalk along this Everest Lane.
So, after that hearing we went to these folks and said we really need the sidewalk here
on the south side of Everest Lane and they said they were -- agreed to do that. So, we
will get those -- as each lot develops we will get that sidewalk through there. The key
Commission changes to staffs initial recommendation were they accepted the
applicant's willingness to construct a five foot sidewalk on the south side of the property.
To our knowledge there are no outstanding issues before Council and I will answer any
questions you may have.
De Weerd: Thank you, Anna. Any questions from Council?
Borton: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Borton.
Borton: Anna, did you say that the sidewalk on the south side of the property, north
side of Everest Lane, the south side of Everest Lane?
Canning: That probably wasn't very clear. It's the south side of their property, so it's the
north side of Everest Lane.
Borton: Okay.
De Weerd: Okay. Any other questions? Is the applicant here? If you will, please, state
your name and address for the record.
Carter: My name is Bill Carter. My address is 10221 West Emerald Street in Boise.

Carter: Madam Mayor, Members of the Commission, I don't have any formal comments
to add to the staff report. I thought in the interest of time what I could do is -- you know,
with the absence of opposition and approval from staff, that I just answer any questions
you have, otherwise, I'll leave it open.
De Weerd: Okay. Council, any questions for the applicant at this time?
Rountree: I have none.
De Weerd: Okay. We will see if anyone's here to testify.
Public Hearing. Is there anyone who would like t
application? Okay. Hearing none, Council, do you
applicant?
Bird: I have none.
Rountree: Madam Mayor, I have a question for Anna.
De Weerd: Okay.
Thank you. Okay. This is a
o provide testimony on this
have any questions for the
Rountree: Anna, with the addition of the sidewalk now on that particular private road, is
there any possibility of working with the homeowners association or the developer to
connect that sidewalk with the Long Lake Way sidewalk? Because now you just kind of
have a common area that will or won't be used as a sidewalk and people will or won't be
in the road, if, in fact, there is any pedestrians there at all.
Canning: And, in all honesty, we hadn't thought about that until I was making the
presentation, I thought, oh, we are missing a segment there to Long Lake Way. We can
talk to them or perhaps they are willing to commit something. It's adifferent -- those lots
have been sold, so they are different folks at this point.
Rountree: I'm not asking that of-the applicant, I think that's something that we need to
look at and see if we can figure out how to do it.
Canning: We will try and figure that out. If they were a public right of way it would be a
little easier, but it's all private. We will keep that in mind and we will try and get that
done.
Rountree: Thank you.
De Weerd: I don't know how, but we will try.
Rountree: Magic.
De Weerd: We know you can do miracles. Okay. Do you have anything you would like
to add?

Pine Avenue:
Item 12: Public Hearing: CUP 06-014 Request for a Conditional Use Permit for
24 multi-family dwelling units in a proposed R-15 zone for Rushmore
Subdivision by SLC Investments, LLC -1021 West Pine Avenue:
De Weerd: Thank you. Items 10, 11 and 12 are public hearings on RZ 06-004, PP 06-
021,and CUP 06-014. I will open these three public hearings with staff comments.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, this is the Rushmore project. It's
located at 1201 Pine. There is the Pine frontage. It is a long narrow lot. It also has two
stub streets that stub into the east boundary. Just to orient you, Rock Creek and
Roundtree and Treymore are located to the west of this property. This is the plat.
Again, it's a very long, narrow piece. This is Nine Mile Creek. This first lot will be a
church lot and, then, this will be amulti-family lot. The church lot is proposed. They are
proposing to rezone from the current R-4 designation to L-O and that would be for 3.32
acres and, then, on the remainder of the portion at the south they would rezone 2.17
acres to R-15. The preliminary plat approval is for six multi-family building lots, the one
church lot, and two common lots. And they are also requesting conditional use approval
to construct six multi-family dwellings and each one of these would have four units.
There are four-plexes. So, for a total of 24 units. The applicant is providing a number
of amenities and that includes a bike storage area, a property management office,
maintenance storage area, a development map or directory, A tot lot. And, then,
walking paths and open space. This -- this multi-family portion connects to the stub
street here and provides a cul-de-sac, basically, on the property and, then, the drive
aisles kind of connect around the cul-de-sac as shown. I do have elevations. This is
the front. The rear. And those are the side elevations. You can see they have pretty
generous porches on them. On this one I wanted to show the layout of the Rock Creek
Subdivision next to it. You can see that there is four four-plexes along that boundary as
well. And, then, you have the railroad down here. The Planning and Zone Commission
recommended approval at their May 18th Public Hearing. Michael Vance and Ken
Redford spoke in favor of the application. No one spoke in opposition or commented.
Meridian City Council

Page 12 of 29
The key issues of discussion by the Commission were the appropriate width and
construction timeline for the street buffer along Pine Avenue. So, that's on the north
property lot here. There is a Friends church currently on the site and you can kind of
see their parking layout. They currently in a portion of it have just a seven foot buffer
along Pine. And the fencing and, then, the neighborhood interconnectivity were the key
issues of discussion. The key changes to staffs recommendation were they
recommended allowing the landscape buffer along Pine Avenue to be constructed when
the church expands. So, it wouldn't happen at this time. But they did put a provision in
the development agreement or they modified a provision in the development agreement
that would say that when the new construction occurs on the church lot, that at that time
the landscaping and the landscape buffer along Pine would be brought into compliance
with the UDC. So, it's a 25 foot requirement along Pine Avenue. So, it wouldn't have
any impact at this time, but when they wanted to add new structures, which we
understand may be fairly soon. As soon as they get their L-O zoning, they may want to
move that structure on there.
Rountree: It's sitting there now.
De Weerd: Yeah. It's waiting to go on. They got the Seventh-Day Adventist Church
from where the Walgreens is going in and they moved it to the site. It's waiting to go on
the site, so development of the church property will be coming shortly after this zoning,
assuming that it's -- the rezone is approved. So, to our knowledge there are no
outstanding issues before Council and I will answer any questions you may have.
De Weerd: Anna, what is the fencing material on the south piece abutting the railroad?
Canning: I don't know for sure. I can look it up or if the applicant has that information
that would -- I don't have it right now.
De Weerd: Well, I guess I asked that, because we did discuss that when we did the
tour of the rail corridor and Councilmember Bird and we had discussed what is
appropriate material along that rail corridor. The rail corridor or the Idaho Northern was
concerned about the flammable situation that's right there. And, actually, I thought they
actually set us up by having some kids out there burning planks off of one of the wood
fences, but they really didn't set that up, it just was all in timing; right? So, I -- that's why
I asked that question. Is the applicant here? If you will, please, state your name and
address for the record.
Vance: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, my name is Michael Vance. My
address is 4585 East Victory Road in Meridian. I believe staff has done a great job -- a
short-handed great job in getting through this. There are a couple of items that I believe
have just been resolved. My main concern was the development agreement I had
understood applied to the entire parcel and I would like that only to apply to the piece
that is being developed, which is the southern half of the Meridian Friends church. I
believe it to be unfair to hold them up from development or adding buildings to their
piece, when the bottom piece may take a year to do, if you understand what I'm trying to
Meridian City Council
July 5, 2006
Page 13 of 29
say here. So, as I understand Anna, if the rezone is approved tonight, then, the
Meridian Friends church can proceed with putting their additional building on without a
development agreement being in place. That's my understanding. Okay. If a
development agreement needs to be in place, this could be a very long process. A
development agreement may take six months to a year to get done. My hope was that
the church could go ahead and do what they are going to do, let their -- let their piece of
ground be rezoned to L-O and let the development agreement fall on -- on the people
who really need to produce the development agreement, which is for water, sewer, you
know, all of the things that need to be done. The church doesn't need to do anything,
other than apply for a building permit. So, I really don't want to hold them up when they
have already got a building and a plot plan ready to go and, as I understand it, a
building ready to go. So, you can understand my concern. The other concern that I
have is with the staff recommendation for Pine Street buffer, which needs to go in with
the church development, should they develop. We believe that there was a Conditional
Use Permit on 3/7/2000 that allowed a seven foot buffer to go in and that the church has
done that. If, at the church development, an additional buffer, 20 foot buffer, is required,
it will wipe out a whole lane of parking that these folks have put in. They have in hand --
and Ihave arepresentative from Design West here tonight. They have in hand an
approved Conditional Use Permit for the landscaping and the buffer that was done back
in 2000. So, with that, this is a joint effort with the church. I do not want to -- or I would
ask you not to hold them up for a development agreement that really belongs to how
big, how tall, how deep, where is the sewer going -- all the things that go into a
development agreement, when the church just wants to put in a building. So, with that I
would be happy to answer any questions and, of course, we would -- we would ask that
you approve this project. Thank you.
De Weerd: Council, any questions?
Bird: Not at this time.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you. Okay. I do have a couple of people who signed up in
support of this application. If, when I read your name, you would like to provide
testimony, you are certainly welcome to come forward. Mike Vance. Signed up for.
Oh. Sorry. Yeah. It's the Michael that threw me off. Jim Main. For.
Main: Jim Main. 216 Southwest 5th, Meridian. 83642.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Main: Ihave just recently been retained by the church to do a building project for them,
so Mr. Vance's comments were correct, as soon as the church receives their zoning
they are ready to plant the building and do the work around it. At the -- I wasn't
available, I wasn't retained at the time of the Planning and Zoning meeting. However,
since, then, we have obtained the Conditional Use Permit and I did meet with Caleb at
Planning and Zoning and we reviewed that. He recommended that we come here and,
then, present, that to you. In the Conditional Use Permit Michael spoke wrongly, it was,
Meridian City Council
July 5, 2006
Page 14 of 29
actually, a four foot landscape buffer that was required. The church built that and they
have six -- six to eight parking spaces in that location right now. So, to require them to
go back and change that to a 20 foot buffer would wipe out those parking spaces, they
would have, then, have to reproduce somewhere else on the site to get their parking.
With that I can stand for questions if you have any.
De Weerd: Council, questions?
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Bird.
Bird: Is there a time on the conditional use? Was there a time limit on that that you
could find?
Main: Nothing that I could find on it, no, sir. It was signed by the City Council on March
7th of 2000.
Bird: But no time was set, though?
Main: No time.
Bird: Okay. Thank you.
De Weerd: Okay. Any other questions? Okay.
Canning: Madam Mayor --
De Weerd: Anna.
Canning: -- Members of the Council, perhaps I should chime in here. The Conditional
Use Permit at that time, I think, acknowledged the existing deficiency of the landscape
buffer. On the new land -- on the portion of the parking lot that they were required to
build, they made them meet the standards. Now, that was for that use and that
structure at that time. New construction needs to comply with the UDC. The UDC
specifically calls out nonconforming parking lot design and layout as a nonconforming
use. You can extend a nonconforming use or extend the use of the site with conditional
use approval. So, if the church wants to go through conditional use approval, they
could keep that parking lot landscaping. They have got two driveway cuts in an area
where we would normally see one these days. So, it's deficient in more than it's
landscaping buffer. It's not -- it's not a real great design right now. So, a new use does
trigger new application and the new application does need to be consistent with the
UCD. There is a mechanism for them to get there if they don't want to bring it up to
comply with code at this time.

De Weerd: Thank you. Is there anyone else who would like to provide testimony on
this application? Okay. Seeing none, does the applicant have any final comments?
Main: Madam Mayor, I have no further comments. I'd be happy to answer any
questions.
De Weerd: Okay. Council, any questions for the applicant? Thank you.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
Canning: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I have a question for Anna. On the development agreement, Anna, do you feel
the whole project needs it?
Canning: I suppose we could. The only unusual provision on that development
agreement is the one with regard to the church. So, to exempt them from that, there is
still the code to fall back on. I think Mr. Vance may be familiar with the development
agreements in other places. I don't think ours takes that long to achieve. You don't
have to do any construction, it's just a matter of getting signatures agreeing to the
development agreement. The necessity of the development agreement is more of the
R-15 zoning on this property. In the event that this layout and this subdivision don't
occur, you would want the ability to have more review over a subsequent development
of that property. So, there are reasons that both are included. I suppose the church
could be taken out, but I think that it's important to address this issue tonight, so that
they understand what requirements they will have.
Bird: Follow up, Mayor?
De Weerd: Uh-huh.
Bird: Okay. And, then, the CUP, in your mind, is not applicable here regarding this and
the landscaping and stuff?
Canning: Madam Mayor, Councilmember Bird, I think it is. If they want to keep the
existing parking layout at the front while they are expanding the site in general, then,
they will need conditional use approval.
Bird: The existing one, though, you don't -- is being wiped out; right?
Canning: Yes. That's how I see it.
Bird: Okay. And we are going back to a thing that I felt happened on Eagle Road,
where all of a sudden on Pine Street, going to have a 25-foot buffer, where nobody else
done there has -- five foot buffer, other than them. And we have approved some things
-- I mean Sunbridge and some of them built way back, so they do have a driveway
Meridian City Council
July 5, 2006
Page 16 of 29
buffer, but the apartments I don't think have a 25-foot buffer. That would be a real
shock if it is out there on the corner. The thing that was approved before did not have
25 that they have built. My way of thinking is I'd sooner see them have parking in there
and a buffer, than have parking out on Pine Street on Sunday mornings.
De Weerd: Anna, what was the requirements for -- I know that the retirement center in
Treymore has that kind of a buffer. What did those apartment buildings have?
Canning: I can't tell from this photograph, but when this church came through the last
time, there was a 20-foot requirement and most of those developments are since that
time. So, I would anticipate we had at least a 20-foot buffer all the way along here, up
to in -- you know, these properties are just individual home sites, but Pine will be
classified as a minor arterial I think, so that's what would have bumped it up from the 20
to the 25. It did change designation from a collector to an arterial, but it's been a
collector and had a required buffer since the city's required buffers.
De Weerd: Well, I guess I would agree with Councilman Bird, as long as -- to be
consistent with what the buffer is for the adjoining properties that have recently
developed. If that was 20 at that time, that 25 seems alittle --
Canning: I think there is certainly argument for 20, but -- because the east portion of
this site has 20 feet. It's the west portion that's very small. And, then, I know Rock
Creek has at least 20 feet and I think the Treymore building is back there.
Mayor: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Anna, can I interject something? I would -- I wouldn't disagree if this was being
used as an office seven days a week or five days a week, but we are talking about one
day a week and, then, possibly two on a Wednesday night where I don't think they have
the crowd that they probably do on Sundays. I think -- I think there is some
grandfathering along there, even though I know that isn't the right verbiage to call it, but
I just would sooner see them have less landscaping and more in parking, than have
cars parked on both sides of Pine Street to go to church and I -- you know, Ithink -- I
think in 2000 we argued this same -- same argument on this setback in the CUP, was
we didn't want to see anymore parking out on Pine than we had to have and we felt that
parking at that time on site was better than having extra landscaping and I -- there was
two of us here that -- that voted that way. Maybe three? No? I just think we need to
really take a practical look at it and see what -- what is the betterment for the overall
neighborhood down there and, I don't know, Ijust -- you're not going to stop parking on
Pine anyway, but if you take away that deal -- and if you -- you know, if they have to find
seven parking spots someplace else, then, you take away what -- what green space
they got around their place back there, so -- I don't know.
Wardle: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Wardle.
Meridian City Council
July 5, 2006
Page 17 of 29
Wardle: I have a procedural question for either Mr. Nary or Anna. Anna, I heard you
say that the -- to consider what I guess I would consider a variance from the UDC,
which requires that buffer, we -- or the applicant would be responsible for bringing back
another Conditional Use Permit?
Canning: Yes, sir. To my knowledge that's the only way for them to achieve that.
Wardle: So, we can°t -- I guess while we are having some discussion about it, can we
hear it tonight and decide it tonight or we don't even have that ability?
Canning: No.
Wardle: Thank you.
De Weerd: So, you don't have that ability to change it to the 20-foot, instead of the 25
foot?
Canning: Not administratively.
De Weerd: Okay. So, it's immaterial at this point.
Canning: Unless Mr. Nary has some other mechanism, but, to me, the code's pretty
clear that this is the -- would be -- that the further development of this property would be
an expansion of the nonconforming use of the parking lot.
De Weerd: So, Mr. Nary, would you have anything you would like to add?
Nary: No.
De Weerd: Oh, what rarity. I knew if we caught you off guard we'd get the right answer.
Canning: Madam Mayor, you had asked about the fencing materials and the applicant
didn't respond to that.
De Weerd: Yes. I was, actually, going to ask him. But this -- this didn't seem to have
concluded the prior conversation. Mr. Wardle?
Wardle: Madam Mayor, just before you ask, if Mr. Nary would comment on the
applicant's request to, essentially, separate the development agreement. Do you see
that as an issue in this case or --
Nary: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, Councilmember Wardle, I guess the
problem is in trying to separate that is that this is one project and one parcel and so the
development agreement applies to the whole -- the whole parcel. So, I don't know how
we would separate that. I don't know if that was discussed with the planning staff on
Meridian City Council
July 5, 2006
Page 18 of 29
trying to create a separate development agreement for just the rezone portion that's just
the L-O and the R-15. They don't take six months to a year to do a development; it
takes maybe a couple of months, So -- at most.
De Weerd: Is there an opportunity for an administrative split?
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, no, because portions of it are
residential at this point. But you do have a legal description for the R-15 portion, so you
could use that legal description to define the boundary of the development agreement.
Nary: As long as there is a way -- Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, as long as
there is a way for us to distinguish them -- I just think what's the concern that was raised
by the applicant about it delaying one project, the rezone isn't done until the
development agreement is done. So, if the apartments is the portion that the
development agreement is going to relate to, then, it's not going to make any difference
if the L-O is attached to it. But if we can separate them by property description, we can
do that, that's not a problem.
De Weerd: Okay. If the applicant could come forward and address fencing.
Vance: Fencing on the southern boundary?
De Weerd: Yes.
Vance: If you do not -- or if the Council does not it want to be flammable, it can be
chain link, it could be anything that we can come up with that is not flammable. Not
wood. Certainly chain link. I'm not sure that the slats that go in aren't flammable or they
may melt. I'm not sure, but --
De Weerd: I do think that they did have some suggestions that they gave to staff.
Vance: We would be happy to entertain those.
De Weerd: Okay.
Vance: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes.
Vance: I'm really not trying to cause a problem here, believe me, because I would like
the project approved in its entirety.
De Weerd: No. We appreciate your sensitivity to the church.
Vance: All I'm trying to do it -- you know how long it takes to get a regular development
approved? I'm just trying not to --
Meridian City Council

De Weerd: Apparently you haven't worked with the City of Meridian, because we are
very fast.
Vance: Okay. Thank you.
De Weerd: Aren't we, Mr. Attorney?
Nary: Absolutely.
Rountree: Sometimes.
De Weerd: Okay. Anything further by the Council? Anna, any further information you
need?
Canning: Madam Mayor, no. They do not have any fencing plans at this point. So, if
you would like nonflammable fencing on the southern boundary, if you have a
preference for how that looks, whether it provides screening, chain link with slats is not
a screening material.
De Weerd: I do know that in that discussion there were ideas discussed and at this
point I don't remember, but if you could work with the applicant on some options, maybe
even contact Idaho Northern and you can help recall the discussion on that. Mr. Bird,
do you remember what was done?
Bird: I don't know, but it's got to be nonflammable. I mean chain link or -- and I think
you can get slats -- those aluminum slats, which is -- the wood ones along there, the
way -- the way the right of way is kept on the railroad, you know, the weeds grow up
about six feet anyway, so -- and they are real flammable. I just -- I think chain link
would.-- and if you want to put some slats in it -- slats, that's fine, as long as they are
aluminum.
De Weerd: Whatever fits in the character of your project and the quality you're looking
for.
Bird: I thought the railroad was very plain saying what they -- you know, they wanted --
they'd love to get rid of anything that's flammable along there.
De Weerd: Okay. Council, any further information?
Borton: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Borton.
Borton: Anna, you made a comment about concerns with interconnectivity, the layout?
Meridian City Council
July 5, 2006
Page 20 of 29
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, Councilmember Borton, I think what
it was -- the discussion was about the -- probably the stub streets and also the
pedestrian pathway. There is a pedestrian pathway proposed on the north side of Nine
Mile Creek and that continues through Rock Creek and through Treymore and, then,
Roundtree had a path on the south side as well. I think it just connects into this small
portion of Rock Creek and ends kind of in that general area. So, it was just a general
discussion about circulation. This stub street was not required to be brought through or
picked up in Rock Creek, so there is no opportunity for the applicant to extend that to
the west. Neither of these. And, then, the church isn't developing the southern portion.
They do have a stub street there.
De Weerd: So, I guess will the pathway connect, then?
Canning: Yes. It connects all the way up and, then, it comes up and connects to Pine.
So, it will come from here all the way to Pine. I don't believe we have it in this location
just yet.
De Weerd: Okay. Does that answer your question?
Borton: It did.
De Weerd: Okay. Anything else? Okay. Council?
Wardle: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: Hearing no further need for information, I move we close the public hearings
on Items 10, 11 and 12.
Rountree: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. I have a motion to close Items 10 through 12. All those in favor say
aye. All ayes. Motion carries.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Wardle: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: Just aquick -- Mr. Nary, the development agreement is required in the rezone;
is that correct?
Nary: Yes.
Meridian City Council

Wardle: Madam Mayor, I would move that we approve Item No. 10, RZ 06-004,
requiring a development agreement on the legal description of the property on the
southern half of the R-15 portion. Within that development agreement also specifying a
nonflammable fencing material on the southern portion abutting the railroad right of way.
Bird: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. I have a motion to approve as stated and a second. Any
discussion? Okay. Mr. Berg.

MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
De Weerd: Okay. Item 11.

fencing material on the southern portion of the property.
Borton: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. I have a motion to approve Item 12. Mr. Bird?
Bird: Okay. I got a question. By approving this, does this require the 20-foot or 25-foot
buffer?
Rountree: That's just for the R-15 zone.
Bird: Just for the R-15 zone?

De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: Point of clarification. My understanding was that this Conditional Use Permit
approves the elevations that we have seen tonight on the buildings, open space
requirements, amenities and, as direction from staff, any changes to the allowed buffer
within our zone would need to come back forward in an additional Conditional Use
Permit.
De Weerd: Okay. Did that answer your question?
Bird: Yeah, it did. I didn't like it, but it did.
De Weerd: Okay. I would ask that, Anna, if you can have a staff member work with the
applicant -- or with the church and let them know specifically what they would need to
do. Okay?
Canning: Okay.
De Weerd: Okay. If there is no further discussion, I do have a motion to approve Item
12. Mr. Berg.
Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Wardle, yea; Borton, yea.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Item 13: Public Hearing: VAC 06-009 Request for a Vacation of a 10-foot
irrigation easement along the west boundary of Lot 2 Block 7 of Gemtone
Center No. 5 by DMHR Development, LLC - on Commercial Drive, west
of Nola Road, north of East Franklin Road:
De Weerd: Okay. Item 13 is a Public Hearing on VAC 06-009. We will open this Public
Hearing with staff comments.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, this is a vacation hearing. It is for
the Lot 2, Block 7, of Gemtone Center No. 5, located right at the end of Commercial
Street. Here is the property. See the rest of Commercial Street developed there. This
is the easement in question. It's down this property line. I think that the applicant has
purchased the adjoining property and wants to vacate the easement. The easement is
for irrigation and it was presumed to facilitate the placement of the pressurized irrigation
system down that lot line. This is an unusual case. It's Nampa-Meridian District, but
Settler's Irrigation District is providing the pressurized irrigation. They thought they
Meridian City Council
July 5, 2006
Page 23 of 29
might bring it down to this portion of the subdivision. You may recall this is a very odd
subdivision. It comes up and around like this. And they didn't bring the pressurized
irrigation down to this property. So, the irrigation easement is not needed. We have
received all the necessary relinquishments and your staff report recommends
continuance, but we just got the needed relinquishment today, so you don't need to
have Findings for this approval, therefore, you can go ahead and act on it tonight if you
want. And to our knowledge there are no outstanding issues before Council.
De Weerd: Thank you, Anna. Any questions for staff at this time?
Rountree: I have none.
De Weerd: Okay. Applicant. If you will, please, state your name and address for the
record.
Smith: Good evening, Mayor, Council. My name is Gary Smith. My address is 3917
Kootenai Street in Boise. 83705.
De Weerd: In Boise?
Smith: Yes, ma'am.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you.
Smith: Thank you. As Anna mentioned, we went through the entire procedure as
outlined in their application process and appreciate her report tonight. It's thorough as
usual. We did contact Nampa-Meridian Irrigation District and Settler's and they both did
send their no objections to vacation of the easement. The applicant -- the reason the
applicant is requesting the vacation is so that they could facilitate a drive down
unloading ramp for trucks that would be utilized by the tenants of the building that they
are proposing to put on this lot and they would locate that drive down unloading area
adjacent to the property line. That's about all I have and we respectfully request your
approval of this request this evening. And if you have any questions, hopefully, I can
answer them. If not, Mr. Morrow is here representing the applicant also.
De Weerd: Okay. Council, any questions for Mr. Smith?
Bird: I have none.
Rountree: None.
De Weerd: Oh, wow, you can't let him off this easy.
Nary: It°s too easy on him.
De Weerd: Or Mr. Morrow. I mean there must be something. Thank you, Gary.

Item 14: Public Hearing: AZ 06-023 Request for Annexation and Zoning of 1.0
acres from RUT to R-2 zone for Martin Annexation by the Ada County
Highway District -1120 S. Locust Grove Road:
Meridian City Council
July 5, 2006
Page 25 of 29
De Weerd: Thank you for the entertainment, Mr. Smith and Mr. Morrow. Okay. Item 14
is a Public Hearing on AZ 06-023. I will open this Public Hearing with staff comments.
Canning: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. This is the Martin
Annexation project. The site is located at 1120 South Locust Grove Road. Highlighted
here. It is on the east side of Locust Grove and it's approximately 250 feet north of I-84.
This is just an annexation application. There is no accompanying development plan.
The Ada County Highway District has applied for this annexation and zoning to R-2, low
density residential, for about an acre of property that's currently zoned RUT in Ada
County. There is one single family home toward the west end of the property and also a
shed on the site. Because of the Locust Grove overpass, ACHD has acquired the
property -- or it has acquired the front .513 acres portion of the property and the
residence is on that half acre that they have acquired. It generally follows this line, I
believe, is what they have purchased. The Martins are going to retain the remainder of
the property and build a new home back there and I have another drawing that helps. I
have shifted direction here, so here is Locust Grove. Here is the house. You can kind
of see it outlined right there. That's the existing house. What -- ACRD is going to come
down here off of Bentley, they are going to put a road on the south side of these
properties and, then, it will cul-de-sac up here. So, this will go toward right of way. And,
then, this cul-de-sac accommodates a driveway to this parcel here. And, then, the
Martins will build their new home back on this eastern portion of the property. Did I get
you confused? Here is Locust Grove.
De Weerd: That is the east side.
Bird: That is the east side. The road comes in, then, goes to the south.
Canning: Oh, did I say the west side?
Bird: No. You said the south side.
Canning: Oh, I'm sorry.
Bird: And I thought I was turned around.
Canning: No. This is the east side of these properties. Sorry. And, then, it cul-de-
sacs over there. I forgot I was shifted. I should have turned it. Sorry. So, this is just an
annexation request. We have no elevations. The Planning and Zoning Commission
recommended approval at their June 1st hearing. Kathy Smith from ACHD spoke in
favor of that application. No one spoke in opposition or commented. The key issues of
discussion by the Commission were the access for parcels in this area, once the
overpass gets constructed. And there were no changes to staff s initial recommendation
and to our knowledge there are no outstanding issues before Council. Looks like you
do have a couple neighbors here, though, so -- I don't know if they have signed up to
testify.

De Weerd: Okay.
Canning: And I will answer any questions you may have, other than south versus east.
De Weerd: Any questions from Council?
Rountree: I have none.
Bird: I have none.
De Weerd: Is the applicant here?
K. Smith: Good evening, Madam Mayor, Council. Kathy Smith, Ada County Highway
District, Right of Way Supervisor. Address is 3775 Adams Street in Garden City.
De Weerd: Thank you.
K. Smith: I want to thank Anna and the staff for working with ACHD and getting this
done. This has been a long drawn-out process trying to help the Martins get their new
house put in. Part of the issue is the delays in getting this overpass built. Can't build a
house if there is no sewer and water in to supply the house and the sewer and water
can't go in until the road is built, so we are at a Catch 22, unfortunately.
De Weerd: The chicken and the egg.
K. Smith: Yeah. We have provided the Martins with some temporary housing in the
meantime. One of the issues that has come up -- and I just want to clarify this to help
Anna out, because I know she's not as familiar as some of her staff are. Bentley in this
section will be closed. We are realigning Bentley and so it would be coming through
over like in here and curving around to align with Corporate and it will create asignal --
Center. Excuse me. So, what we have bought already here will be the new roadway
and so the road will mainly curve around here to go into the subdivision. We will have
the cul-de-sac come down along here and a cul-de-sac in here. It will provide access to
the Nelson property to the north, but to the two property owners to the south as well.
Mr. Martin will be building his house here. We were trying to get the annexation done
first, because -- and he really can't move forward with a house permit until the road
goes in, because he just won't have the sewer and water services to do it. So, once we
get the annexation done, then, he and his builder will be coming forward and going
through the process for his house permit. Basically, that's, really, the majority of it. The
property owner here retained this portion. The property owner here, we still haven't
settled with. We do have a right of entry, so the project can move forward. The
property here, for whatever reason, it's just not showing up on maps yet, but we have
settled with them. So, the project is at ITD waiting for bid process, getting through all
the paperwork, since it is federal aid. You know how long those take. And the last
Meridian City Council

Page 27 of 29
checked they were still working for the bid process. Any further questions, I would be
glad to answer them.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you. Any questions from Council?
Bird: I have none, Mayor.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you very much. Okay. Is there anyone who would like to
provide testimony on this application? It has been a long process and if any of you are
neighbors, we appreciate your tenacity on this and sticking with us. I do have two that
have signed up. Kathy Smith with ACRD and Marv Brown with ITD. Thank you for
joining us. Okay. If there is no further testimony, Council, do you have any questions?
Bird: I have none, Mayor.
Wardle: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes.
Wardle: Seeing no further need for public testimony, I move that we close the Public
Hearing on Item 14.
Rountree: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. Motion to close 14. All those in favor say aye. All ayes. Motion
