DECEIVED
JAN - 5 19996
CITY OF MERIDIAN
TO MEMBERS OF THE MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL;
GENTLEMEN TO SAY THE LEAST I WAS SHOCKED BY YOUR DECISION TO OVERTURN THE
RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COM[ IITTEE ON THE PROPOSED
TRANSPORT TRUCK AND TRAILER ZONING APPROVAL. IN LIGHT OF OVERWHELMING
TESTIMONY AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE CITIZENS OF THE CITY OF MERIDIAN,
INCLUDING ALL OF HIS ADJOINING NEIGHBORS HOW YOU COULD RENDER SUCH A
DECISION IS MIND BOGGLING.
WHEN I CALLED CITY HALL ON WEDNESDAY I WAS TOLD IN LIGHT OF THE CHANGES MR.
HOWELL HAD MADE FOR HOURS OF OPERATION AND SIZE THAT THIS WAS A MAJOR
DECIDING FACTOR. GENTLEMEN MR HOWELL HAS PLAYED THE CITY COUNCIL FOR A
CHUMP I CAN NOT BELIEVE HE IS GETTING AWAY WITH IT. CONTACT FREIGHTLINER AT
503-287-7030 AND SEE HOW MANY FACILITIES OF THIS SIZE ANYWHERE IN THE UNITED
STATES ARE OPEN TILL 6.00 P.M. I THINK YOU WILL FIND THAT NUMBER TO BE ZERO, IT
IS NOT MR. HOWELL'S INTENT TO ONLY STAY OPEN TILL 6.00 P.M. THIS IS ONLY A PLOY
TO SUCKER YOU INTO ALLOWING HIM GET HIS FOOT IN THE DOOR..
THE FACTS WERE BROUGHT UP IN OPEN DEBATE AT THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
1. THE FACTS AND FINDING OF RAND Z.
2. THE LACK OF EMPIRICAL DATA SUPPORTING THE PLAN I.E. TRAFFIC STUDY THAT A
THREE YEAR OLD COULD REFUTE AND SOME CHILDISH SOUND STUDY THAT HIS
BROTHER PERFORMED. THE SLIDE SHOW WAS CUTE BUT CERTAINLY DID NOT GIVE ANY
CONVINCING REASON TO ALLOW THIS DEVELOPMENT.
3. I FIND IT IRONIC THAT MR. TOLSMA RAN HIS CAMPAIGN WITH PICTURES OF HIS
GRANDCHILDREN IMPLYING HIS SUPPORT OF FAMILIES IN MERIDIAN, YET HE APPROVES
A FACILITY OF THIS TYPE DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM A PROPOSED
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL THAT MY CHILD WOULD BE ATTENDING.
4. SAFETY IS A MAIN ISSUE IN WHY THE CITIZENS OF SOUTH MERIDIAN DO NOT WANT
THIS TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA. PRECEDENCE IN BOISE AND
ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE COUNTRY SUPPORTS THIS CONTENTION. IF YOU DO NOT
RECONSIDER YOUR DECISION THE RESULTING DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY IS SOMETHING
THAT YOU WILL HAVE TO CARRY AS YOUR FAULT TO YOUR DEATH, IT IS NOT
SOMETHING I WOULD WANT TO HAVE ON MY CONSCIENCE.
5. YOU SPEAK OF A MASTER PLAN FOR THE CITY OF MERIDIAN, BUT YOUR APPROVAL OF
THIS PROPOSAL DEMONSTRATES EITHER A LACK OF UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT A

Sound Level Study
Transport Truck & Trailer
Annexation, Zone Change and Conditional Use Permit
City of Meridian
Overview: This study was conducted in-house by Transport Truck and Trailer. The data
was collected over a period of approximately one week by personnel trained in the use of
a Type II ANSI Sound Level Meter (Quest 214). The A -weighted sound level was
measured and collected at 15 second intervals for a twenty minute time period at each
site. The data sheets record the actual meter reading (to the closest decibel) at each site.
Unusual occurrences and out -of -character meter readings were recorded with a code
adjacent to the level as a means of source identification.
The table that follows summarizes the data that was collected. A more detailed
description of the collection and analysis is attached.

Measurement Methods: Principal data for this study were obtained from the sites
located along or adjacent to the listed street or interior locations. All measurements made
at these sites employed the same procedure. The methodology employed is consistent
with the Boise Community Noise Survey published by the Office of Noise Abatement and
Control, United States Environmental Protection Agency as Document Number EPA
550/9-79-402 in May of 1979. This document is available in the Boise City Library.
At each site, sound level recordings were continuously made for a twenty minute
period sometime between the hours of 7:OOAM and 6:OOPM during weekdays.
For each twenty minute measurement period, the A -weighted sound pressure
level was monitored using an ANSI S 14 Type S2A sound level meter set for slow
response. A Quest 214 was used for each test. Every fifteen seconds the instantaneous
meter reading was observed and the value recorded on the data sheet. In this fashion,
approximately eighty sound level values were recorded at each site for subsequent
reduction.
Any sound level readings from local sources which caused the reading to exceed
70 dB were described on the data sheets by a notational code which identified the source.
Measurement Error: The twenty minute measurements were obtained by manually
reading a meter and recording the results at fifteen second intervals. Uncertainty in these
readings is provoked by calibration accuracy, meter accuracy and reading accuracy. The
meter and its calibration unit were tested and certified by Coulson Technologies, Billings,
Montana on November 28, 1995 to the standards of the National Institute of Standards
and Technology. The meter was field calibrated according to manufacture's
specifications prior to each twenty minute test. The level of confidence that the meter
was accurate to plus or minus I dB for each reading is quite high. In a human endeavor,
the probability of error exists. Because each site represents the average of eighty total
and separate readings and there is no reason to assume or expect that errors would be
biased toward the minus or plus side, the level of confidence is quite high that the average
sound pressure level calculated for each site is also within plus or minus 1 dB.
Measurement errors due to instrument or reading errors are presumed to be randomly
distributed about the mean values and therefore will not significantly alter the calculated
sound levels or their means.
Analysis of Data: The number of sites sampled is too small to draw any statistical
inferences about Equivalent Sound Levels (Ley), but they do serve to present an accurate
"snapshot" of the sound pressure levels, measured in decibels, at the time and date of the
individual sampling. The sites were chosen to fairly represent and address the legitimate
concerns of the public during the Planning and Zoning public hearing phase of the
proj ect.
The measurement at the current dealership was taken mid-day and includes a
spike resulting from the landing approach of a Southwest Airlines 737 aircraft. The
Peterbilt site at Gowen Road and I-84 was sampled at a site between the main building
and the body repair/paint shop and also includes a jet aircraft spike. Both samplings
compare favorably with the data collected for the Boise City study of 1979.
The Boise City study had data available from a total of 307 20 -minute
measurements. The data were statistically reduced to provide an average daytime L., for
the following types of land uses:
"53.7 dB -- Residential Land Use
62.9 dB -- Commercial Land Use
54.2 dB -- Industrial Land Use
65.4 dB -- Airport Influence NET 40 Zone
57.7 dB -- Airport Influence NET 30 - 40 Zone
52.5 dB -- Parks, Open or Undeveloped Space
65.9 dB -- High Volume Roads
64.0 dB -- Medium Volume Roads
54.2 dB -- Low Volume Roads"
Our findings are in fairly close conformity with the Boise City Study of 1979.
Recorded noise levels are more a function of volume and velocity of traffic than land use
catagory. The basis for our comparison is the 51 dB value obtained from the existing
Peterbilt site at the Gowen Road Exit of I-84, which is essentially the same type of land
use and impact as the proposed Transport Truck and Trailer site along Overland Road and
the 61 dB value obtained from the parking lot of the Cherry Plaza in Meridian. Both
readings were taken mid-morning with the Peterbilt site in full operation and the Cherry
Plaza parking lot at approximately 25% of capacity.
The Transport Truck and Trailer noise survey also made several comparison
readings between the noise levels on arterial type streets and the noise levels inside
subdivisions adjacent to those arterials.
The first comparison was made at the Island Wood Subdivision located along
Eagle Road at the Boise River. The sound level at the intersection of Eagle Road and
Island Wood Drive was found to be 67 dB. This reading was taken at 1:30 PM to avoid a
biased value from morning or evening rush traffic. The site was chosen to be 50' +/- east
of the Eagle Road and 30' +/- north of the Island Wood Dr. curb line. The interior
comparison value was taken in the parking lot of the Island Wood clubhouse. The value
at this site was 51 dB. The clubhouse and parking lot were empty at the time of the
readings. The value at the Island Wood clubhouse is equal to the value found at the Boise
Peterbilt site.
A comparison was made at the intersection of Eagle Road/Chinden Blvd. and the
Banbury Subdivision located in the northwest corner of said intersection. The readings at
the intersection were found to average to a level of 67 dB, consistent with the noise level
• 0
on Eagle Road at the river. These readings were taken at 2:30 PM with the site chosen to
be 75' +/- of the n'ly edge of pavement of Chinden Blvd. and 50' +/- w'ly of the edge of
pavement of Eagle Road. The interior readings were taken approximately 1500' north of
Chinden Blvd. on the w'ly curb line of Banbury Drive. The average level was recorded
as 44 dB.
A comparison was also made along East Amity Road during morning rush hour
traffic. The site was chosen to be the entrance to the Breckenridge subdivision at
Danridge Drive. The sound meter was located 50' +/- from the n'ly edge of Amity and
50' +/- from the w'ly curb line of Danridge. The recordings began at 8:00 AM. The
average sound level along the intersection was found to be 59 dB. The interior site was
chosen to be near the intersection of Table Ridge. and Pine Ridge Drives. This location
placed one row of homes between the interior site and the traffic on Amity Road. The
average sound level was found to be 47 dB.
The final comparisons were conducted on Overland Road near the intersection of
Bonefish for the exterior readings. The readings began at 9:10 AM and were found to
average 57 dB. The interior readings were taken at two locations within the Meridian
Greens Subdivision. The first, at the intersection of Overland Road and Country Terrace
Dr. was taken at 8:30 AM and the meter was located approximately 150 south of
Overland Road on the e'ly curb line of Country Terrace Dr., but without any housing
blocking the sound. The average sound level was found to be 49 dB. A second set of
interior readings were made on the curb line of Antigua adjacent to the house at 632
Antigua. This location was approximately 150 w'ly from the intersection of SE 5th Way.
The average sound level at this site was found to be 37 dB.
Conclusions:
1: Sound levels are more a function of traffic volume than land use
patterns.
2: The Sound Level expected from this use is less than most other
commercial/retail uses because this use generates a minimun traffic
volume.
3: The recorded Sound Levels for the existing facility correspond closely
to the recorded Sound Levels at similar facilities that are owned by others,
i.e., the Peterbilt site.
4: Sound Levels for the proposed site will be mitigated by the use of
sound absorbing insulation, landscaping and distance from neighboring
uses.
5: The Sound Level from this proposed use are not incompatable with
adjacent residential uses because:
a) The traffic generation is minimal, approximately 3% of the
current daily trips on Overland Road.
b) The proposed project is well buffered from neighboring uses
by both physical obstacles and distance.
c) The noise produced on-site is very modest.
Sound pressure levels are mitigated in several ways. Physical obstacles, such as
fences, earthen berms or a row of houses serve to substantially reduce the level of noise.
Sound also obeys the inverse square law which simply states that the sound level pressure
is inversely proportional to the distance from the source. If you increase the distance
from the sound by two you will reduce the sound level pressure by 75%. This study
suggests that high volume arterial roadways are indeed noisy places but, keeping things
in perspective, the noise level recorded at the Boise Peterbilt site was the same as the
noise level recorded at the upscale Island Wood Subdivision clubhouse. This finding
correlates very closely with the 1979 Boise City Study that found that noise levels are
much more a function of traffic volume and speed that the land use designation of the
study area. The level of sound pressure experienced by homeowners in residential
subdivisions along arterial streets is a function of traffic volume and speed. The
applicant's proposed project will mitigate on-site sound levels by using both distance,
landscaping and sound insulation in the buildings walls. The applicant's current facility
fits within the proposed limitations of a noise sensitive area in Boise City's upcoming
noise ordinance. Off-site mitigation is addressed by the Trip Generation and Traffic
Distribution Analysis provided by Bell -Walker Engineers. This report concludes that the
proposed project will have a negligible impact upon the current traffic patterns along
Overland Road with 95% of an already low volume of generated traffic using the Eagle
interchange rather than traveling along Overland Road. Generated trips will be 212 per
day (174 automobile trips and 38 truck trips) versus the current level of 7000 trips per
day. This is the equivalent impact of a twenty lot subdivision using the guidelines
established by ACHD in estimating traffic impact. Land uses such as a mixed use or
planned development of commercial buffered by medium to high density residential units
would have a significantly higher impact upon local noise levels by virtue of a much
higher generated volume of traffic.

A -Weighted Sound Level:
Decibel (dB):
•
Glossary
A sound level determined using the "A" frequency
weighting of a sound level meter which selectively
discriminates against high and low frequencies to
approximate the auditory sensitivity of human hearing
at moderate sound levels. Measures such as Leq and
Ld,,, which are developed in terms of A -Weighted
sound levels, have been widely correlated with degrees
of community noise impact and annoyance.
A unit for describing the amplitude or level of
acoustical quantities - see Level.
Frequency: The number of sound pressure fluctuations per second
of a particular sound expressed in hertz (cycles per
second). Frequency is the property of sound that is
perceived as pitch.
Level: A scale for describing the amplitude of acoustical
quantities. In environmental acoustics, usually ten
times the logarithm (base 10) of the ratio of an
acoustical quantity which is proportional to power
(i.e., sound power, sound pressure squared, sound
intensity, etc.) to a reference quantity of the same
kind. The value is assigned the unit decibels.
Sound Level: The instantaneous sound zpressure level in decibels
defined as LP =I 0 log (p /p2ref) where p is the
acoustic pressure and prefis 20 micropascals. In
practice, this quantity is measured in decibels
directly with a sound level meter, usually applying
the A -Weighting network of the meter.

Trucks in Accidents
Data for this overview has been gathered by the Office of Safety of the State of
Idaho Transportation Department and can be found in its entirety in a report named Idaho
Traffic Accidents, 1994.
An Overview:
The report contains data for the years 1991 to 1994, inclusive. Through
this four year reporting period heavy trucks, as a vehicle type, have been involved
in approximately 4% of accidents as opposed to approximately 60% for passenger
cars and approximately 32% for pickups, vans and campers.
Of particular significance are the rates of change for the years 1993 to
1994. Both passenger cars and heavy trucks have had declining rates of
involvement; -7.2% and -5.7%, respectively, while the incident rate for pickups,
vans and campers has increased by 13.9%.

CITY OF MERIDIAN
TO MEMBERS OF THE MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL;
GENTLEMEN TO SAY THE LEAST I WAS SHOCKED BY YOUR DECISION TO OVERTURN THE
RECONNIENDATIONS OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMITTEE ON THE PROPOSED
TRANSPORT TRUCK AND TRAILER ZONING APPROVAL. IN LIGHT OF OVERWHELMING
TESTIMONY AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE CITIZENS OF THE CITY OF MERIDIAN,
INCLUDING ALL OF HIS ADJOINING NEIGHBORS HOW YOU COULD RENDER SUCH A
DECISION IS MIND BOGGLING.
WHEN I CALLED CITY HALL ON WEDNESDAY I WAS TOLD IN LIGHT OF THE CHANGES MR.
HOWELL HAD MADE FOR HOURS OF OPERATION AND SIZE THAT THIS WAS A MAJOR
DECIDING FACTOR. GENTLEMEN MR. HOWELL HAS PLAYED THE CITY COUNCIL FOR A
CHUMP I CAN NOT BELIEVE HE IS GETTING AWAY WITH IT. CONTACT FREIGHTLINER AT
503-287-7030 AND SEE HOW MANY FACILITIES OF THIS SIZE ANYWHERE IN THE UNTIED
STATES ARE OPEN TILL 6.00 P.M. I THINK YOU WILL FIND THAT NUMBER TO BE ZERO! IT
IS NOT MR. HOWELL'S INTENT TO ONLY STAY OPEN TILL 6.00 P.M. THIS IS ONLY A PLOY
TO SUCKER YOU INTO ALLOWING HIM GET HIS FOOT IN THE DOOR..
THE FACTS WERE BROUGHT UP IN OPEN DEBATE AT THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
1. THE FACTS AND FINDING OF RAND Z.
2. THE LACK OF EMPIRICAL DATA SUPPORTING THE PLAN I.E. TRAFFIC STUDY THAT A
THREE YEAR OLD COULD REFUTE AND SOME CHILDISH SOUND STUDY THAT HIS
BROTHER PERFORMED. THE SLIDE SHOW WAS CUTE BUT CERTAINLY DID NOT GIVE ANY
CONVINCING REASON TO ALLOW THIS DEVELOPMENT.
3. I FIND IT IRONIC THAT MR. TOLSMA RAN HIS CAMPAIGN WITH PICTURES OF HIS
GRANDCHILDREN IMPLYING HIS SUPPORT OF FAMILIES IN MERIDIAN, YET HE APPROVES
A FACILITY OF THIS TYPE DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM A PROPOSED
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL THAT MY CHILD WOULD BE ATTENDING.
4. SAFETY IS A MAIN ISSUE IN WHY THE CITIZENS OF SOUTH MERIDIAN DO NOT WANT
THIS TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA. PRECEDENCE IN BOISE AND
ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE COUNTRY SUPPORTS THIS CONTENTION. IF YOU DO NOT
RECONSIDER YOUR DECISION THE RESULTING DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY IS SOMET ZING
THAT YOU WILL HAVE TO CARRY AS YOUR FAULT TO YOUR DEATH, IT IS NOT
SOMETHING I WOULD WANT TO HAVE ON MY CONSCIENCE.
5. YOU SPEAK OF A MASTER PLAN FOR THE CITY OF MERIDIAN, BUT YOUR APPROVAL OF
THIS PROPOSAL DEMONSTRATES EITHER A LACK OF UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT A
MASTER PLAN IS OR DISREGARD OF THE VERY CONCEPT. BY ALLOWING THIS
DEVELOPMENT YOU CHANGE THE GROWTH DIRECTION OF THIS ENTIRE AREA. THIS
POINT WAS EXPLAINED BY PLANNER BECKY BOWCUTT DURING HER TESTIMONY.
INSTEAD OF UPPER END HOUSING PROJECTS WE WILL HAVE TRUCK SUPPMII VE
INDUSTRIES SUCH A TRUCK TERMINAL WHICH RUN 24 HOURS (MAYBE THEY WILL TELL
YOU THEY WILL ONLY BE OPEN TILL 6.00 P.M. TO GET APPROVED TOO), FABRICATION
SHOPS, AND OTHER RELATED INDUSTRIES. TAKE THE TIME TO CHECK OUT WHAT MR.
HOWELL HAS TOLD YOU AND INVESTIGATE WHAT IS REALLY THE CASE AT ANY
LOCATION IN THE COUNTRY. IF THIS PROPOSAL IS NOT APPROVED GROWTH AND THE
TAX BASE WILL STILL COME, BUT IT WILL BE IN THE FORM OF MORE HARMONIOUS
BUSINESSES SUCH AS ALLIED HEALTH INDUSTRIES OR SMALL SHOPS.
6. IN VIEW OF THE ADDITIONAL DANGEROUS TRAFFIC, NOISE, AND NONCOMPATIBLE
NATURE OF THIS BUSINESS I IMPLORE YOU TO TABLE THIS DECISION AT THE LEAST TILL
YOU HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO SEE MR. HOWELL'S CURRENT BUSINESS AND SEE HOW IT
LOOKS AND ALSO TO REALLY CHECK OUT THE FACTS. I BELIEVE THAT THE LACK OF
SUPPORT OF THIS PROJECT WAS DEMONSTRATED AT BOTH P. AND Z. AND AT YOUR
MEETINGS. SOUTH MERIDIAN HAS THE HIGHEST VOTER TURN OUT OF ANY AREA OF
MERIDIAN AND I AM SURE THAT THIS DECISION WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN AT THE NEXT
ELECTION. YOU WERE ELECTED TO PROTECT AND "REPRESENT" THE CITIZENS OF THE
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLEASE DO NOT OVERRIDE THAT TRUST FOR THE PROPOSAL OF MR.

Tolsma: I think what the Council would want on this is all the previous testimony that was
on the previous item, the request for annexation and zoning, the same testimony would be
used on this hearing for a conditional use permit also. But you are more than willing to
testify, but the testimony we can use it as the same testimony as before.

Howell: I am not going to give any testimony, I simply want to indicate that we certainly
consent to having the record of the previous hearing incorporated into this one.
Tolsma: Anybody from the public wish to testify on this?
Kevin Merritt, 832 E. St. Martin, was sworn by the City Attorney.
Merritt: I will be brief, what I would like to do right now is just submit to the City Council
written testimony of what the statements that I read in the past I would just like to submit
it to the City.
Tolsma: So noted then. Is there anybody else from the public that wants to testify on this

ITEM #19: PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE TO THE REQUIREMENT
TO PIPE THE EIGHT MILE LATERAL AND NINE MILE DRAIN BY R.T. NAHAS
COMPANY:
Tolsma: Is there a representative here for Mr. Nahas?
Gene Smith, Hubble Engineering, 9550 Bethel Court, Boise, was sworn by the City
Attorney.
Smith: First off it is a little nerve racking for the applicant's representative to walk into a
public hearing and see the place packed, it is nice to see them all leave. Our request is,
first of all I am here representing R.T. Nahas Company on Corporate Park, Central Valley
Corporate Park No. 5 which is just north of the freeway and East of 1 st. This being the
hotel and this is Central Valley Corporate Park No. 5. As one of the conditions of the
preliminary plat it was to either pipe or request a variance for the Eight Mile Lateral and
the Nine Mile Drain which crosses this property. The Eight Mile Lateral runs through here
and the Nine Mile Drain just crosses the one corner of this one lot. In our application we
stated our justification, what we felt was justification that meets the conditions of this
request. That justification is spelled out, I believe you have a copy of the application there.
Item #15, states that flow through the Eight We Lateral at this site is 100 CFS per Nampa

next Planning and Zoning meeting which is November 14th. If the Commission desires to
adopt those findings, it then would go to the City Council, there will be another public
hearing, you may present additional testimony, it can be entirely new evidence, it can be
whatever you want. It is a total new hearing that is before the City Council. The City
Council then either adopts the Planning and Zoning findings of fact and conclusions of law
or if new testimony is presented they will ask to have new findings. It is ultimately the Cit
Council's decision as to whether or not this is annexed and zoned. There are also is
another hearing tonight for their conditional use. The same thing would happen to that
conditional use. However, a conditional use permit in a commercial zone does not
necessarily have to have another public hearing. Only if it were in a residential zone is a
public hearing required before the City Council. So after the Commission adopts their
findings of fact they are available to the public.
FIVE MINUTE RECESS
ITEM #15: PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A
TRUCKITRAILER SALES FACILITY BY BILL HOWELL:
Johnson: This is a public hearing you can incorporate the testimony obviously from 14 but
if anybody wishes to speak again they may do so. I would just request that you not be
redundant. At this time I will open the public hearing and invite Mr. Howell to speak or his
representative.
Bill Howell, 10455 Jay Road, Boise, was sworn by the City Attorney.
Johnson: Does the Commission have any questions of Mr. Howell at all regarding the
conditional use part of the application?
Crookston: If you are going to incorporate the testimony from the annexation and zoning
hearing you need to make a motion to do that.
Johnson: We will do that before we close this public hearing. Thank you, does anyone
have any questions at all at this time? Do you have any statements to make?
Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission

Page 33
Howell: I think some reasonable concerns were raised and obviously I would like to have
a chance to bring to this some actual and factual information rather than all the general
meandering that we can address all of those issues and will be prepared to do so.
Johnson: Yes, at your opportunity with the City Council that would be appropriate I'm
sure.
Crookston: If he wants the Commission to consider those he needs to request that this be
tabled so he can present that if he just wants to take it to City Council that is fine too.
Johnson: You have that option, if you want us to incorporate more factual information that
you are going to provide or anything else you are going to provide. Our only avenue for
doing that would be to table this item and incorporate that at our next hearing.
Howell: I think the Council will be an appropriate forum for that.
Johnson: Is there anyone else from the public that would like to address the Commission
on this application?
Kevin Merritt, 832 E. St. Martin, was sworn by the City Attorney.
Merritt: Basically on item #151 would like to just go on public record as saying that I would
like to reiterate my statement on #14 that all of the issues discussed on item #141 would
carry over to item #15 the same concerns. Obviously we can see that this is quite an
operation and our concerns of this abutting a residential area is of a major concern and
that is all.
Johnson: Thank you Mr. Merritt, anyone else?
Stewart Edwards, 1692 South Goldsmith, was sworn by the City Attorney.
Edwards: A couple of other things with this conditional use permit that we haven't brought
up yet is the trailer park that has just been put in there on Overland Road right next to the
golf course of the driving range. The noise of the plant is going to be quite an impact on
that trailer park that is already there and of course I think the why the Highway District
hasn't said anything on the overload on Overland Road it seems to be inappropriate and
they should research that a lot more. Because I think that road that kind of traffic won't
hold up to those kinds of rigs. So that is all 1 have to say.
Johnson: Anyone else that would like to add to the testimony? I would entertain a motion
to incorporate the prior testimony at this time into item #15 from item #14.

Rountree: So moved
Hepper: Second
Johnson: It is moved and seconded that all of the testimony presented by the public and
the applicant and his representative be incorporated into, given under item #14 the
request for annexation and zoning be incorporated also into the conditional use permit
request item #15, all those in favor? Opposed?
MOTION CARRIED: All Yea
Johnson: At this time then I will close the public hearing.
Rountree: Mr. Chairman, I move we have findings of fact and conclusions prepared on this
item.
Shearer: Second
Johnson: We have a motion and a second to prepare findings of fact and conclusions of
law on the conditional use permit requested by Mr. Bill Howell, all those in favor?
Opposed?
MOTION CARRIED: All Yea
ITEM #16: JOE AMYX: DISCUSSION OF DEVELOPMENT IDEAS FOR PROPERTY
LOCATED AT 1095 E. FRANKLIN ROAD:
Johnson: Is Mr. Amyx here and would like to talk to the Commission? We kind of got an
idea of what you have got, we have your map and things. We probably need it explained
the best you can.
Amyx: Basically what has happened is I bought two pieces of property I sold one and Ada
County, I wanted to sell a little more ground to them to do (inaudible) anyhow I wanted to
sell them enough land to cover the well. I started going through all the right channels and
doing everything and Ada County says you can't do that. I said, why can't I do this, the
house was built and sold separate property in 1964. That was before they had any zoning
or anything to do anything with it. He said yes but you bought the piece of ground next to
it. Then when you bought the piece of ground next to it and when you bought the piece
of ground next to it due to an obscure law they became one piece of property. What
happened is they didn't rule on the fact that what the law, they just ruled on the fact of
what they had done was legal. They didn't say that is a bad situation and we see where

Re: TRANSPORT TRUCK & TRAILERS, INC.
(Request for Conditional Use Permit for Truck/Trailer Sales & Service Facility)
I have reviewed this submittal and offer the following comments, for your information and
consideration as conditions of the Applicant during the hearing process:
♦ GENERAL COMMENTS:
1. Any existing irrigation/drainage ditches crossing the property to be included in this project,

appropriate irrigation/drainage district, or lateral users association, with written
confirmation of said approval submitted to the Public Works Department.
2. Any existing domestic wells and/or septic systems within this project will have to be
removed from their domestic service per City Ordinance Section 5-7-517. Wells may be
used for non-domestic purposes such as landscape irrigation.
3. Off-street parking shall be provided in accordance with Section 11-2-414 of the City of
Meridian Zoning and Development Ordinance and/or as detailed in site-specific
requirements.
4. Paving and striping shall be in accordance with the standards set forth in Sections
11-2-414.D.4 and 11-2-414.D.5 of the City of Meridian Zoning and Development
Ordinance and in accordance with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements.
5. A drainage plan designed by a State of Idaho licensed architect or engineer is required and
shall be submitted for all off-street parking areas and shall be approved by the City
Engineer (Ord. 557, 10-1-91).

7. All signage shall be in accordance with the standards set forth in Section 11-2-415 of the
City of Meridian Zoning and Development Ordinance.
8. Determine the seasonal high groundwater elevation, and submit a profile of the subsurface
soil conditions as prepared by a soil scientist.
9. Water service to this development is contingent upon positive results from a hydraulic

♦ SITE SPECIFIC COMMENTS:
1. Please provide the Public Works Department with information on anticipated fire flow and
domestic water requirements for the proposed site. This information is very critical for
determining the water serviceability of this proposal.
2. At this time the proposed site is not serviceable by the Meridian City Water System.
Applicant will be required to construct 12 inch diameter water mains from the City's
current points of terminus in Overland Rd. (approx. 1,800 LF west) to and through the
proposed site.
3. At this time the proposed site is not serviceable by the Meridian City Sanitary Sewer
System. Sanitary Sewer service to this site could be via the future south spur of the Five
Mile Trunk Sewer main currently under construction for the St. Luke's West Medical
Center.
4. Assessment fees for water and sewer service are determined during the building plan
review process. In addition to these assessments, water and sewer "Late Comers" fees will
also be charged against this parcel to help reimburse the parties responsible for installing
the water and sewer mains to their current points.

TO: Planning & Zoning Commission, Mayor and Council
FROM: Sham les, Planning & Zoning Administrator
DATE: October 6, 1995
SUBJECT: Request for Annexation and Zoning of C -G with a Conditional Use Permit
for a Truck/Trailer Sales and Service Facility by Bill Howell
1. Details of the landscaping plan are needed for review and approval. Four- to six -foot -
high berms should be included along Overland Road to reduce impact of headlight glare
on adjacent residential property. City Ordinance requires a minimum of one (1) three-
inch (3") caliper tree per 1,500 square feet of pavement. This requirement is unrealistic
for this development; however, careful planning of landscaping is required and must be
approved prior to obtaining building permits. I-84 and Overland Road are both
designated as entrance corridors in the Comprehensive Plan and therefore require a 35 -
foot minimum landscape setback. Perimeter and internal landscaping is also required.
2. Five-foot (5') sidewalks shall be installed per City Ordinance. ACHD approvals for work
within the public right-of-way shall be submitted to the Meridian Public Works
Department prior to commencement of work. Deceleration lanes will likely be required
by ACHD.
3. The proposed realigned subdivision boundary would require a plat to be prepared, as
these are not platted lots.
4. Any existing irrigation or drainage ditches crossing the property shall be tiled per City
Ordinance. A drain ditch currently exists along the eastern property boundary which
needs to be tiled..
5. A Certificate of Occupancy is required prior to opening. Occupancy will be contingent
upon meeting all zoning, building code, public works, Fire Department and agency
regulations.
6. Applicant's representative has stated this facility will be an 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
operation. It is, however, within the realm of possibility that overnight repair work will
be needed. If this may occur, has applicant made provision for soundproofing of
service/maintenance shop to avoid disturbance to residential uses?
P&Z Commission, Mayor and Council
October 6, 1995
Page 2
7. Illumination shall be designed to not cause glare or adversely impact neighboring
residential uses and freeway traffic.
8. A development agreement is required as a condition of annexation. It would be
preferable to have a detailed list of conditions in lieu of a development agreement.

ANNEXATION AND ZONING AND CONDITIONAL USE
SOUTH OF I-84 AND EAST OF LOCUST GROVE
A PORTION OF THE SE 1/4 OF THE NW 1/4 OF SECTION 17 T 3N R.1E
BOISEMERIDIAN, ADA COUNTY, STATE OF IDAHO
MERIDIAN, IDAHO
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
The above entitled annexation and zoning application having
come on for consideration on October 10, 1995, at the Meridian City
Hall, 33 East Idaho Street, Meridian, Idaho, at the hour of 7:30
o'clock p.m., the Petitioners representative, Kristina Donner,
appearing, and the Planning and Zoning Commission having heard and
taken oral and written testimony, and having duly considered the
matter, the Planning and Zoning Commission makes the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. That notice of public hearing on the annexation and
zoning was published for two (2) consecutive weeks prior to the
public hearing scheduled for October 10, 1995, the first
publication of which was fifteen (15) days prior to said hearing;
that the matter was duly considered at the October 10, 1995
hearing, the Applicant's representative, Kristina Donner, appearing
in person, that the public having been given full opportunity to
express comments and submit evidence; and that copies of all
notices being available to newspaper, radio and television
stations, the Planning and Zoning Commission hereby takes action on
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - HOWELL PAGE - 1
the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law.
2. That the property included in the application for
annexation and zoning is described in the application, and by this
reference is incorporated herein; that the property is
approximately 28.49 acres in size; that on the 20 acre parcel, the
Applicant proposes a facility to sell and service Freightline
trucks; that the remainder 8.49 acres would be for a future body
shop and repair center.
3. That the property is presently zoned by Ada County as R -T
(Rural Transition); that the Application requests that the property
be zoned General Retail and Service Commercial (C -G) and Applicant
has requested a conditional use permit to allow for the sales and
service of trucks/trailers; that the Application is incorporated
herein as if set forth in full.
4. Adjacent to this development is the I-84 Interstate
freeway and Overland Road; that the major arterials of Eagle Road
and Locust Grove Road are nearby; that to the west is the
Playground RV Park and driving range; that to the east is the
future expansion of this development of the 8.49 acres; that across
the Interstate to the north is Magic View Subdivision; to the north
and east across the Interstate is the Jackson's Travel Center,
currently under construction; that across Eagle Road to the east of
Jackson's Travel Center is the proposed St. Luke's Medical campus,
currently under construction.
5. That the property is adjacent and abutting to the present
City limits.
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - HOWELL PAGE - 2
•
u
6. That Bill Howell, is the Applicant; that the owner, Par
3, an Idaho General Partnership, Richard M. Phillips, General
Partner, has consented to the application and has requested this
annexation, zoning and conditional use and the application is not
at the request of the City of Meridian.
7. That the Applicant's annexation and zoning application
stated that the present use of the land is agricultural, that the
proposed use is industrial, that the proposed district is C -G,
General Retail and Service Commercial, that the proposal is
compatible with other industrial facilities adjacent to the
project, and that the property would be harmonious with adjacent
developments; the annexation and zoning Application also states,
"The proposed zoning amendment relates to the Meridian
Comprehensive Plan in that it will be adhering to the mixed plan
usage of the Plan, and being close to the interstate is in an area
that is intended for industrial use."
8. That Ms. Donner testified that there will be a facility
to sell and service Freightliner trucks on the 20 acre parcel; that
the future parcel, consisting of the 8.49 acres, will be for a body
shop and repair center, to be constructed in a phase II
development; that sewer is of concern because it is only on the
north side of the Interstate; that they would work in conjunction
with other developers to bring the sewer to the south and share the
cost; that if sewer is not available when they would like to open,
they have discussed this with the Central District Health
Department and they would propose to put in a septic system and
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - HOWELL PAGE - 3
•
utilize that until they could bring the sewer in; that they plan to
extend the water lines 600 feet to get water to the site. She also
stated that they had concerns over the statement of Shari Stiles
about requiring four to six foot berms along the front of Overland
and they are a little bit concerned about trucks having site
distance problems and that none of the other properties along
Overland used for industrial uses were required to have berms.
In response to a question by Commissioner Rountree about the
lines on a map being topographical lines and the map showing a
raised platform the length of the lot that would perch the trucks
up above the elevation lines shown on the map, Miss Donner
indicated that that was what it showed. She also stated in
response to a question, that the Playground driving range was right
next door to this property to the west.
9. That the Applicant, Bill Howell, testified to clear up
some gaps left by the earlier testimony of Ms. Donner; that the
elevation of the display area along I-84 is believed to be an 8
foot elevation from grade; that the display will be of all new
vehicles; that the proposed fleet maintenance shop is primarily a
full service facility and the phase II plan within the 20.00 acres
will be for a body/paint shop; that the 8.49 remaining acres will
not be used by the Applicant's company; that it is simply going to
be marketed; that the anticipated daily trips of the full size road
tractors and trailers, ranging up to and including 53 foot, could
possibly figure to be 75 to 100 per day; that the operating hours
are 7:00 a.m. to currently 12:00 p.m. and that general maintenance
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - HOWELL PAGE - 4
is the activity going on at 12:00 at night in the shop areas; that
the anticipated maximum employees will probably be 60; that the
Applicant foresees as a great eventuality, full service leases.
10. There were several property owners in the immediate area
who testified at the October 10, 1995, hearing about the
Application; the testimony can be summarized as follows:
1. Kevin Merritt, acting as President of the Meridian
Greens Subdivision of approximately 225+ homes,
wanted to go on record as totally opposing this
Annexation for several reasons. That the proposed
location for the transport truck and trailer
service sales and service facility is not
appropriate in keeping with the present planned use
of the adjoining and local property; that based on
the traffic volume, and traffic safety issue, this
proposed development is not compatible.
2. Roy Harada testified that he also is in truck sales
with a different dealership; he points out that
contractually, freightliner requires all dealers to
be open 24 hours; that the traffic flow is going to
be significantly higher than what Mr. Howell
represented, and be well over 150 to 200 vehicles a
day in and out; and that developments of this type
are typically noisy, smelly and are open extremely
long hours; that the freightliner class 7 trucks,
which are medium duty trucks to a class 8 truck,
grossing in excess of 100,000 pounds, are your
typical trucks, along with Cumins, Caterpillar, all
of the miscellaneous service shops bringing parts
in as well as Federal Express trucks; that another
concern regarding the excessive traffic might well
be the mechanic needing to check out the trucks
after servicing to use Overland Road, turn right,
hit the Interstate, turn right again, hit Eagle
Road, making a circle, thus adding to the safety
factor of the kids in the nearby subdivisions.
3. Becky Bowcutt, of Briggs Engineering, testified
that on behalf of her client G. L. Voigt
Construction, whose property just south of this
parcel was approved for approximately 290 R-4
designation lots; that Ms. Bowcutt requests that
the City of Meridian evaluate the landscaping that
is being proposed by the Applicant and that a
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - HOWELL PAGE - 5
landscaping plan be submitted by the Applicant and
an evaluation be done regarding the berming and the
screening at the entrances at I-84 and along the
interstate.
4. That Lou Lois testified that he affirms the
opposition from the President of Meridian Greens
Subdivision with regard to the safety and noise;
that he believes that this type of operation is not
one that would stop at midnight but be more a 24
hour operation; that the paint shop and of
hazardous materials so close to residential areas
was also a concern of Mr. Lois'.
5. That Beth Markland testified that she also is in
opposition to this proposed annexation for the same
reasons previously stated, specifically the traffic
concern, the possibility of these trucks hauling
hazardous materials and the noise.
6. Neda Hagner testified that she too wishes to add
her concerns regarding the traffic congestion on
Overland already being frightening and the safety
of children and grandchildren; that having these
monster trucks on Overland is like putting up
barriers to enjoyment of their homes.
7. Ron Thomas testified that his major concern is the
ground septic system and the Ada County Health
District allowing such a thing to be built; that
the traffic is bad now and would only get worse.
8. That Rick Reever testified that he lives in
Sportsman Point Subdivision and his concerns lie
with the traffic situation and the access to the on
ramp at I-84; that with the proposed shopping mall
at the .southeast corner of the on ramp at Eagle
Road, this will only add to the congestion and
potentially more safety problems for the kids in
just the square mile between Overland, Eagle,
Locust Grove and Victory.
9. Nicole Garduno testified at the hearing voicing her
opposition to the proposed annexation and zoning
mainly for the safety issues.
10. That Mark Wilson testified, echoing objections with
regard to the hazardous waste that this project
will potentially generate and the possibilities of
contamination of the sewer system years done the
road.
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - HOWELL PAGE - 6
11. Karen Frisch, from Hunts Bluff Subdivision,
testified that her subdivision likewise will be
affected; that she also is opposed to this proposed
annexation.
11. There was no other testimony regarding the annexation and
zoning given.
12. That testimony regarding annexation and zoning was
incorporated into the record of the Conditional Use Permit
Application; that Mr. Kevin Merritt also testified, reiterating his
statements he made on the annexation and zoning; that Stewart
Edwards testified that the noise of this plant would be quite an
impact of the trailer park next door; that the roads, in his
judgment, will not hold up under the kind of traffic and the rigs
that will be generated, especially on overland Road.
13. That the Assistant to the City Engineer, Bruce
Freckleton, Shari Stiles, Planning & Zoning Administrator, Meridian
City Police and Fire Departments, Central District Health
Department, and Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District, submitted
comments; that those comments are submitted herein by this
reference and are hereby incorporated herein as if set forth in
full.
14. That Assistant to the City Engineer, Bruce Freckleton,
commented that the legal description submitted with the Annexation
and Zoning application needs to be revised so that the northerly
boundary is the northerly boundary of Interstate 84 rather than the
centerline; that he commented in the application for annexation and

in accordance with City Ordinances; that a profile of the
subsurface soil conditions shall be submitted to determine the
seasonal high groundwater elevation and that water service to this
development is contingent upon positive results from a hydraulic
analysis by our computer model; and that specific site comments
were the following:
a. That the Public Works Department shall be provided with
information on anticipated fire flow and domestic water
requirements for the proposed site, as this is critical for
determining the water serviceability for this proposal;
b. That at this time this site is not serviceable by the
Meridian City Water System or by the Meridian City Sanitary
Sewer System; that the Applicant will be required to construct
12 inch diameter water mains from the City's current points of
terminus in Overland Rd. to and through the proposed site;
C. That assessment fees for water and sewer service are
determined during the building plan review process, in
addition, Late Comers fees will also be charged against this
parcel to help reimburse the parties responsible for
installing the water and sewer mains to their current points.
15. That Shari Stiles, Planning & Zoning Administrator,
submitted comments; that details of the landscaping plan are needed

the possibility lies in that overnight repair work will be needed

the Applicant may need to provide soundproofing of the
service/maintenance shop to avoid disturbing the residential areas;
that illumination shall be designed to not cause glare or adversely

entering the community that introduce both visitors
and residents to Meridian. City -designated gateway
arterials include the following streets:
a. I-84 (East and West entrances)
f. Eagle Road (North and South entrances)
g. Overland Road (East and West entrances)
Entryway corridors are a community's front
door. It is acknowledged that the corridor's trees
(or lack thereof), commercial signage, and site
character provide the first, and often times the
most lasting, impression of the entire community.
Therefore, the entire community and, most
specifically its governing bodies, have the right
and the responsibility to guide the development and
redevelopment that occurs along entryway corridors.

6.4U Limit the conversion of predominantly
residential neighborhoods to nonresidential uses,
and require effective buffers and mitigation
measures through conditional use permits when
appropriate nonresidential uses are proposed.
21. That the property is included within an area designated
on the Generalized Land Use Map in the Meridian Comprehensive Plan
as a Mixed/Planned Use Development Area.
22. That the requested zoning of General Retail and Service
Commercial, (C -G) is defined in the Zoning Ordinance at 11-2-408 B.
11. as follows:
" (C -G) General Retail and Service Commercial: The purpose of
the ( C -G) District is to provide for commercial uses which are
customarily operated entirely or almost entirely within a
building; to provide for a review of the impact of proposed
commercial uses which are auto and service oriented and are
located in close proximity to major highway or arterial

•
streets; to fulfill the need of travel -related services as
well as retail sales for the transient and permanent motoring
public. All such districts shall be connected to the
Municipal Water and Sewer systems of the City of Meridian, and
shall not constitute strip commercial development and
encourage clustering of commercial development."
23. That Section 11-2-409, ZONING SCHEDULE OF USE CONTROL, B,
Commercial, lists commercial uses allowed in the. various zoning
districts of the City; that planned commercial developments, are an
allowed use in the C -G district.
24. That Planned Development is defined in 11-2-403 B, at
page 20 of the Zoning Ordinance booklet, as follows:
"An area of land which is developed as a single entity for a
number of uses in combination with or exclusive of other
supportive uses. A PD may be entirely residential,
industrial, or commercial or a mixture of compatible uses. A
PD does not necessarily correspond to lot size, bulk, density,
lot coverage required, open space or type of residential,
commercial or industrial uses as established in any one or
more created districts or this Ordinance."
and a Planned General Development is defined as follows:
"A development not otherwise distinguished under Planned
Commercial, Industrial, Residential Developments, or in which
the proposed use of interior and exterior spaces requires
unusual design flexibility to achieve a completely logical and
complimentary conjunction of uses and functions. This PD
classification applies to essential public services, public or
private recreation facilities, institutional uses, community
facilities or a PD which includes a mix of residential,
commercial or industrial uses."
and a Planned Commercial Development is defined as follows:
"Any development in which the principal use of land is for
commercial purposes."
25. That in 1992 the Idaho State Legislature passed
amendments to the Local Planning Act, which in 67-6513 Idaho Code,
relating to subdivision ordinances, states as follows:
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - HOWELL PAGE - 13
"Each such ordinance may provide for mitigation of the effects
of subdivision development on the ability of political
subdivisions of the state, including school districts, to
deliver services without compromising quality of service
delivery to current residents or imposing substantial
additional costs upon current residents to accommodate the
subdivision.";
that the City of Meridian is concerned with the increase in
population that is occurring and with its impact on the City being
able to provide fire, police, emergency health care, water, sewer,
parks and recreation services to its current residents and to those
moving into the City; the City is also concerned that the increase
in population is burdening the schools of the Meridian School
District which provide school service to current and future
residents of the City; that the City knows that the increase in
population, and the housing for that population, does not
sufficiently increase the tax base to offset the cost of providing
fire, police, emergency health care, water, sewer, parks and
recreation services; and the City knows that the increase in
population does not provide sufficient tax base to provide for
school services to current and future students; that the industrial
and commercial developments do provide taxes for providing fire,
police, emergency health care, water, sewer, parks and recreational
services for people that are here, and which will come here.
26. That pursuant to the instruction, guidance, and direction
of the Idaho State Legislature, the City may impose either a
development fee or a transfer fee on residential property, which,
if possible, would be retroactive and apply to all lots in the
City, because of the imperilment to the health, welfare, and safety
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - HOWELL PAGE - 14
of the citizens of the City of Meridian.
27. That Section 11-9-605 C states as follows:
"Right-of-way for pedestrian walkways in the middle of long
blocks may be required where necessary to obtain convenient
pedestrian circulation to schools, parks or shopping areas;
the pedestrian easement shall be at least ten feet (101)
wide."
28. That Section 11-9-605 G 1. states as follows:
"Planting strips shall be required to be placed next to
incompatible features such as highways, railroads, commercial
or industrial uses to screen the view from residential
properties. Such screening shall be a minimum of twenty feet
(201) wide, and shall not be a part of the normal street right
of way or utility easement."
29. That Section 11-9-605 H 2. states as follows:
"Existing natural features which add value to residential
development and enhance 'the attractiveness of the community
(such as trees, watercourses, historic spots and similar
irreplaceable amenities) shall be preserved in the design of
the subdivision;"
30. That Section 11-9-605 R states as follows:
"The extent and location of lands designed for linear open
space corridors should be determined by natural features and,
to lesser extent, by man-made features such as utility
easements, transportation rights of way or water rights of
way. Landscaping, screening or lineal open space corridors
may be required for the protection of residential properties
from adjacent arterial streets, waterways, railroad rights of
way or other features. As improved areas (landscaped), semi -
improved areas (a landscaped pathway only), or unimproved
areas (left in a natural state), linear open space corridors
serve:
1. To preserve openness;
2. To interconnect park and open space systems within rights
of way for trails, walkways, bicycle ways;
3. To play a major role in conserving area scenic and
natural value, especially waterways, drainages and
natural habitat;
4. To buffer more intensive adjacent urban land uses;
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - HOWELL PAGE - 15
•
•
5. To enhance local identification within the area due to
the internal linkages; and
6. To link residential neighborhoods, park areas and
recreation facilities."
31. That Section 11-9-605 L states as follows:
"Bicycle and pedestrian pathways shall be encouraged within
new developments as part of the public right of way or as
separate easements so that an alternate transportation system
(which is distinct and separate from the automobile) can be
provided throughout the City Urban Service Planning Area. The
Commission and Council shall consider the Bicycle -Pedestrian
Design Manual for Ada County (as prepared by Ada County
Highway District) when reviewing bicycle and pedestrian
pathway provisions within developments."
32. That Section 11-9-605 L states, in part, as follows:
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.
33. That 11-9-607 A, of the Subdivision Ordinance, states in
part as follows:
"The City's policy is to encourage developers of land
development and construction projects to utilize the
provisions of this Section to achieve the following:
1. A development pattern in accord with the goals,
objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan;
S. A more convenient pattern of commercial, residential and
industrial uses as well as public services which support
such uses."
34. That 11-9-607 E, of the Subdivision Ordinance, states in
part as follows:
"A PD shall be allowed only as a Conditional Use in each
district subject to the standards and procedures set forth in
the Section. A PD shall be governed by the regulations of the
district or districts in which said PD is located. The
approval of the Final Development Plan for a PD may provide
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - HOWELL PAGE - 16
for such exceptions from the district regulations governing
use, density, area, bulk, parking, signs, and other
regulations as may be desirable to achieve the objectives of
the proposed PD, provided such exceptions are consistent with
the standards and criteria contained in this Section."
35. That 11-9-607 F, of the Subdivision Ordinance, states in
part as follows:
1. Planned Developments - Planned developments shall be
subject to requirements set forth in the Zoning Ordinance
and also subject to all provisions within this Ordinance.
8. Financial Guarantees - The developer shall post financial
guarantees for all approved on-site improvements if
required pursuant to 9-606'C."
36. The Applicant submitted an Application and materials and
documentation for a conditional use permit for a truck/trailer
sales and service facility; that such Application, materials and
documentation on the conditional use are incorporated herein by
this reference as if set forth in full; that the Applicant
submitted materials on the conditional use request and did
reference how the truck/trailer sales and service facility would be
operated; there were comments from the public which pertained to
the annexation and zoning and to the conditional use permit, and
such are incorporated herein as if set forth in full for purposes
of the application for the conditional use permit.
37. That proper notice was given as required by law and all
procedures before the Planning and Zoning Commission and City
Council were given and followed.
CONCLUSIONS
A. That all the procedural requirements of the Local
Planning Act and of the Ordinances of the City of Meridian have
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - HOWELL PAGE - 17
been met; including the mailing of notice to owners of property
within 300 feet of the external boundaries of the Applicant's
property.
B. That the City of Meridian has authority to annex land
pursuant to 50-222, Idaho Code, and Section 11-2-417 of the Revised
and Compiled Ordinances of the City of Meridian; that exercise of
the City's annexation authority is a legislative function.
C. That the City Council has judged these annexation, zoning
and conditional use applications under Idaho Code, Section 50-222,
Title 67, Chapter 65, Idaho Code, Meridian City Ordinances,
Meridian Comprehensive Plan, as amended, and the record submitted
to it and things of which it can take judicial notice.
D. That all notice and hearing requirements set forth in
Title 67, Chapter 65, Idaho Code, and the Ordinances of the City of
Meridian have been complied with.
E. That the Council may take judicial notice of government
ordinances, and policies, and of actual conditions existing within
the City and State.
F. That the land within the proposed annexation is
contiguous to the present City limits of the City of Meridian, and
the annexation would not be a shoestring annexation.
G. That the annexation application has been initiated by the
Applicant with the consent of the property owners, and is not upon
the initiation of the City of Meridian.
H. That since the annexation and zoning of land is a
legislative function, the City has authority to place conditions
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - HOWELL PAGE - 18
•
upon the annexation of land. Burt vs. The City of Idaho Falls, 105
Idaho 65, 665 P.D 1075 (1983).
I. That the development of annexed land must meet and comply
with the Ordinances of the City of Meridian and in particular
Section 11-9-616, which pertains to development time schedules and
requirements, and Section 11-9-605 M., which pertains to the tiling
of ditches and waterways.
J. That this Application has been difficult for the
Commission to decide because of opposition to the Applications,
which could dictate that the Application be denied, and because of
the Meridian Comprehensive Plan which shows the land as being in an
area shown as a Mixed/Planned Development Area, which could dictate
that the Application be approved; that the Commission understands
the objections and sympathizes with them on an individual basis and
understands the Comprehensive Plan's direction for development of
the area; that the duty of the Commission, however, is not to be
controlled by the interests of individual property owners and their
concerns, but also the Comprehensive Plan is just that, a plan and
not a controlling ordinance; that this statement that the
comprehensive plan is not controlling is supported by Balzer v.
Kootenai County Bd of Commis, 110 Idaho 37, 714 P.2d 6 (1986) ,
stating that Section 67-6511, Idaho Code, does not require a zoning
ordinance's land use designations to be in strict conformance with
the corresponding land use designation of the comprehensive plan,
Ferguson v. Board of County Commis, 110 Idaho 785, 718 P.2d 1223
(1986), holding that the decision of the County Commissioners to
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - HOWELL PAGE - 19
rezone property as commercial, even though it was contrary to the
existing comprehensive plan, was supported by substantial evidence
and was not clearly erroneous, and Bone v. City of Lewiston, 107
Idaho 844, 693 P.2d 1046 (1984), stating that a land use map is not
the comprehensive plan, but only a subpart of one of 12 components
referred to in Section 67-6508, which go into the making of a plan.
K. That the duty of the Commission is to assess the
applications on the basis of the overall good of the City and its
t
citizens; that it is with this duty and background that the
Commission has undertaken to make these Findings and Conclusions.
L. That the Applicant has stated in its Applications, and in
its presentation to the Commission at the public hearing, that its
proposed use of the property will be an industrial use; that the
type and location of the industrial use proposed by the Applicant
is not in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan, since the Plan
states that industrial development should be encouraged to locate
adjacent to existing industrial uses, and there are no industrial
uses adjacent to Applicant's site.
The use is also not in conformance with the Plan since the
Plan states that the character, site improvements and type of light
industrial developments should be harmonized with the residential
uses in the area; that the Applicant did not present any evidence
as to how its truck operation would be harmonized with the
residential developments in the area; also it would be very
difficult to harmonize truck traffic, noise, and pollution with the
many residential neighbors in the area. The Plan also states that
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - HOWELL PAGE - 20
industrial uses adjacent to residential areas should not create
noise, odor, air pollution, and visual pollution greater than
levels normally associated with surrounding residential activities;
it is likely, and probable, that the noise, odor, air pollution,
and visual pollution levels produced by a number of Freightliner
trucks would be substantially greater than that created by a
residential subdivision.
The Plan also states that land uses within the Eastern Light
Industrial Review area must be clean, quiet, and free of hazardous
or objectionable elements; it is judicially noticed that trucks of
the nature that Applicant proposes to sell and service are not
clean or quiet and that the exhaust they produce is considered to
be hazardous or objectionable.
M. That if the property was annexed and zoned, as a
condition of annexation and the zoning of C -G, the Applicant would
be required to enter into a development agreement as authorized by
11-2-416 L and 11-2-417 D; that the development agreement would
address, among other things, the following:
1. Inclusion into the development, including but not limited
to, the requirements of 11-9-605:
a. C, Pedestrian Walkways.
b. G 1, Planting Strips.
C. H, Public Sites and Open Spaces.
d. R, Lineal Open Space Corridors.
e. L, Pedestrian and Bike Path Ways.
f. M, Piping of Ditches
and 11-9-606:
a. Bicycle Pathways.
b. Storm drainage.
C. Sidewalks and Pedestrian Walkways.
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - HOWELL PAGE - 21
0 •
d. Greenbelt.
e. Pressurized Irrigation.
2. Payment by the Applicant, or if required, any assigns,
heirs, executors or personal representatives, of any
impact, development, or transfer fees, adopted by the
City, as agreed to by the Applicant in statements by its
representative during the public hearing.
3. Addressing access linkage, screening, and buffering.
4. An impact fee, or fees, for park, police, and fire
services as determined by the city.
5. Appropriate berming and landscaping.
6. Submission and approval of any required plats.
7. Submission and approval of individual buildings,
drainage, lighting, parking, and other development plans
under the Planned Development guidelines.
8. Harmonizing and integrating the site improvements with
the existing residential development.
9. Establishing a 35 foot landscaped setback as suggested
under the Comprehensive Plan and landscaping the same.
10. Addressing the comments of the Planning Director.
11. The sewer and water requirements.
12. Agreeing that the Meridian Comprehensive Plan is
applicable to the land and any development.
13. Traffic plans and access into and out of the development.
14. Meeting the representations made as part of the
application and hearing process.
15. And any other items deemed necessary by the City Staff,
including design review of all development, and
conditional use processing as required under the Meridian
Comprehensive Plan.
N. That Section 11-2-417 D of the Meridian Zoning Ordinance
states that, if annexed, a development agreement should be recorded
in the office of the Ada County Recorder and take effect upon the
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - HOWELL PAGE - 22
prior if agreed to by the owner of the parcel. That it has been
the experience of the City that development agreements are
difficult to enter into prior to the annexation ordinance being
passed; that it is concluded that the development agreement shall
be entered into prior the final plat being approved and prior to
issuance of any building permits, if the property was annexed.
O. That it is concluded that the annexing and zoning of the
property is not in the best interests of the City of Meridian and
an annexation and zoning ordinance should not be enacted.
P. That regarding the conditional use permit applied for, it
is concluded, that since the Commission has concluded that the
annexation and zoning is not in the best interests of the City,
there is no useful purpose in making conclusions for the
conditional use permit
Q. That if the property was annexed and zoned, the
requirements of the Meridian City Engineer's office, Meridian Fire
Department, Central District Health Department, and the Nampa &
Meridian Irrigation District, would have to be met and addressed in
a development agreement.
R. That if annexed, all ditches, canals, and waterways would
have to be tiled as a condition of annexation and if not so tiled,
the property would be subject to de -annexation.
S. That the Applicant would be required to connect to
Meridian water and sewer and resolve how the water and sewer mains
will serve the land; that the development of the property would be
subject to and controlled by the Subdivision and Development
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - HOWELL PAGE - 23
Ordinance and the development agreement.
T. That if annexed the Applicant would be required to meet
the requirements of the Ada County Highway District
U. That if annexed, these conditions would run with the land
and bind the applicant and his assigns.
APPROVAL OF FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS
The Meridian City Planning and Zoning Commission hereby adopts
and approves these Findings of Fact and Conclusions.

Facts and Findings: •
A. General Information
RT - Existing zoning
CG - Proposed zoning
28.49 - Acres
21,600 - Square feet of proposed sales & service building (approx)
31,200 - Square feet of proposed maintenance shop (approx)
286 - Traffic Analysis Zone JAZ)
West Ada - Impact Fee Benefit Zone
Western Cities - Impact Fee Assessment District
Overland Road
Minor arterial with no pathway designation
Traffic count 7,046 on 7-12-95
803 -feet of frontage
50 -feet existing right-of-way (25 -feet from centerline)
90 -feet required right-of-way (45 -feet from centerline)
Overland Road is improved with 28 -feet of pavement with no curb, gutter or sidewalk.
B. Plans for the improvement of Overland Road from Eagle Road to Meridian Road have been
completed and are "on the shelf' awaiting funding for construction. This segment of Overland Road
has been the subject of much residential development on the south side of Overland Road during the
past three years since the completion of the improvement plans. More than 700 -lots have been
approved as preliminary plats or are in the application review process within the square mile directly
south across Overland Road from this parcel.
C. The subject property is currently used for agricultural purposes. The site plan indicates that this is a
parcel split off from an original agricultural parcel and a separate parcel includes the original farm
residence.
D. Access to site is proposed to be provided by three driveways. The eastern most driveway is located
approximately 3,310 -feet west of Eagle Road and 570 -feet west of the new property line. The center
driveway is located 3,623 -feet west of Eagle Road and 885 -feet west of the new property line. The
western driveway is located 3,870 -feet west from Eagle Road and 1,130 -feet west of the new property
line.
South of Overland Road and directly across from this proposal is the site of a previously approved
preliminary plat (Sundance Subdivision) including 291 -lots, accessing Overland Road by means of
two proposed public roadways. These roadways are located 3,290 -feet and 3,990 -feet, respectively,
west of Eagle Road. The western roadway (shown on the preliminary Plat as "Red Cloud Way") will
interfere with the operation of the western driveway, since they are only separated by 120 -feet.
District policy requires a minimum separation of 150 -feet from a collector intersection for a right-
in/right-out driveway and 220 -feet for a full access driveway. Therefore staff recommends that the
applicant be required to revise the site plan to change the location of the proposed driveway to meet
District standards. (Submitted on September 29, 1995 - see attached).
E. District policy allows a total of three driveways on Overland Road for the entire parcel (including
future development).

F. The site's proposed uses will attract a considerable number of large trucks that require more space to
maneuver. They also require larger gaps in opposing traffic when making turns into and out of the
site driveways. An added left -turn lane at the main entrance intersection on Overland Road will
create a dedicated turn lane for the trucks. The added turn lane will also allow through traffic on
Overland Road to proceed without delay or risk.
G. The transportation system will be adequate to accommodate additional traffic generated by this
proposed development. Although the traffic generated by this development will be primarily made up
of large vehicles, it is likely that they will not be loaded heavily. Therefore, staff has not made a
finding or recommendation that Overland Road be overlaid.
H. This application is scheduled for a public hearing by the City of Meridian Planning and Zoning
Commission on October 10, 1995.
The following requirements are provided to the City of Meridian as conditions for approval:
Site Specific Requirements:
Dedicate 45 -feet of right-of-way from the centerline of Overland Road abutting the parcel (20
additional feet) prior to issuance of building permit (or other required permits). The owner will be
compensated for this additional right-of-way from available impact fee revenues in this benefit zone.
If the owner wishes to be paid for the additional right-of-way, the owner must submit a letter of
application to the impact fee administrator prior to breaking ground, in accordance, with Section 15
of ACHD Ordinance #188.
2. Construct an eastbound left turn lane in Overland Road adjacent to the main site driveway. The
design of the added turn lane should provide a minimum 100 -foot storage area plus the needed
approach and departure tapers. The roadway design plans must be approved by District Development
Services staff.
Provide a $10,440.00 deposit to the Public Rights -of -Way Trust Fund at the District for the required
street improvements of 5 -foot wide concrete sidewalk on Overland Road abutting the parcel prior to
issuance of building permit (or other required permits).
4. Revise the site plan to change the location of the western driveway to conform with District
standards.
5. A total of three driveways on Overland Road are permitted for the entire parcel (including future
development) in compliance with District policy. Lot access restrictions shall be stated on the final
plat.

Hepper: It could take a year or two before all the lots are sold out. Is that more or less
your question too?
Rountree: That is my concern.
Johnson: This document, this paper that Becky submitted for the record this is a draft copy,
I wouldn't expect you to digest all seven pages of this at a sitting. But this won't actually
go before ACHD until November 29th. I need to point that out for the record that this is a
draft report of what is proposed. Does anyone else have any questions or comments?
What would you like to do?
Rountree: Mr. Chairman I make a motion that we pass this application onto City Council
with a favorable recommendation provided there aren't any major changes in the
recommendations from ACHD and that the landscaping be included as part of the
development of the subdivision.
Shearer: Second
Johnson: We have a motion and a second to pass this on to City Council with the
conditions stated by Commissioner Rountree, all those in favor? Opposed?
MOTION CARRIED: All Yea

CORPORATE PARK NO. 6 BY BOB NAHAS:
Johnson: We have received a submittal from the applicant asking us to table this item

next meeting would be the twelfth of December.
Shearer: I move we table this until December 12 meeting.
Hepper: Second
Johnson: It is moved and seconded we table item #4 at the applicant's request until our

ITEM #5: FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW FOR ANNEXATION AND
ZONING REQUEST WITH A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR BILL HOWELL:
Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission
November 14, 1995
Page 24
Johnson: You have the findings of fact and you have read, are there any questions, is
there any discussion, are there any editorial changes that need to be made. I believe there
are a couple of them things that need to be corrected, is that true Mr. Crookston?
Crookston: That is true. I don't have them charted in my copy but in reference to the
square footage of the building that would be on the property. On paragraph 8 on page 3,
the third, dealing with the second line of that.paragraph says that future parcel consisting
of 8.49 acres, I am sorry that is not the one. On page 2, paragraph 2, in the fourth line of
the paragraph, it starts out that on the 20 acre parcel which is approximately 39,825
square feet I would just strike which is approximately 39,825 feet. Also on that same page
and paragraph four, in the fifth line at the end where it says the Jacksons travel center, I
would put Locust View Heights Subdivision and strike the rest of the entire paragraph. On
page 3, paragraph 7, Shari has some comments that I think correct, it states in the fifth
line, starting at the (inaudible) compatible with other industrial facilities adjacent to the
project, that should be not compatible. It goes (inaudible) with adjacent development that
should be would not be harmonious. (Inaudible) because it is a representation as to what
the applicants annexation and zoning application stated. So it is worded correctly.
(inaudible)
Johnson: So just strike the last two corrections?
Crookston: Correct, I would leave the entire, the paragraph as it is entirely.
Johnson: Is there anything else in there?
(End of Tape)
Crookston: (Inaudible) it should say (inaudible) full service leases (inaudible). On page
6 in the paragraph that is numbered 7 it should say Ada County Highway District rather
than Ada County Health District. In paragraph 10 toward the bottom of the page, it says
(inaudible) that should be down it is in the paragraph. On page seven in paragraph twelve
the sixth line says impact of should say impact or. On page 9, approximately in the
middle of the paragraph there is a (inaudible) the line starts eastern property boundary
which need should be needs. On page 11, where it says, I believe it says easter should
be eastern Eagle Road light industrial.
Johnson: Item 3.5 right?
Crookston: That is correct. On page 12, in the middle of the page it says neighborhood
(inaudible) identity. On page 18, paragraph C, it says the. City Council that should be the
Planning and Zoning Commission. That is all the changes that Shari and I have.

Shearer: Second
Johnson: It has been moved by Commissioner Rountree, second by Commissioner
Shearer that the findings of fact as prepared be approved with corrections so noted, roll

ROLL CALL VOTE: Hepper - Yea, Rountree - Yea, Shearer - Yea, Alidjani - Yea
MOTION CARRIED: All Yea
Johnson: Any decision you wish to pass onto the City Council at this time?
Rountree: Mr. Chairman, I move that the Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of
Meridian hereby recommends to the City Council that the property set forth in the
application not be annexed and zoned and therefore no conditional use permit be granted.
Shearer: Second
Johnson: It is moved and seconded that the Planning and Zoning commission pass a
recommendation onto the City Council not to annex and not to permit the conditional use
application, all those in favor? Opposed?
MOTION CARRIED: All Yea
