Re: Salmon Rapids Subdivision - Pressurized Irrigation System
Dear Mr. Goldsmith:
At this time, Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District is not assuming
operation and maintenance of the pressurized irrigation system in
Salmon Rapids Subdivision; therefore, we cannot approve the system.
The possibility still exists that the District will assume the
operation of this system at a later date.
I did do an on-site inspection of the installation of the
irrigation system for Salmon Rapids Subdivision and found that the
system's installation was adequate and the pipe does meet Nampa &
Meridian Irrigation District's specifications. The pressurized
irrigation system for Salmon Rapids Subdivision should be adequate
for the entity that does the operation and maintenance.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Bill Henson

RE: Fencing of boundary between Salmon Rapids and Kachina Estates
Mr. Mayor;

I am attempting to find a way of satisfying the concerns that the residents of Kachina
Estates have expressed. It is my intent to find a way of providing new home sights in
Salmon Rapids Subdivision while protecting the rights of our neighbors in Kachina Es-
tates. I believe the residents of Kachina Estates have the right to pursue the lifestyle that
attracted them to this area in the first place. I understand that an unclimable, sight
obscuring fence that is not flammable will provide the type of security that has been
requested by these residents in their letter to the City of Meridian.
Enclosed is a vicinity map that includes the boundary which I propose to fence and a
manufacturers brochure for the type of fence that we propose. This appears to us to
.address each issue that the residents of Kachina Estates have discussed. I am trying to
help you to evaluate my effort to resolve this issue.
Additional information that relates to some concerns for development of residential areas
adjacent to existing agricultural areas can be found in the Ada County Code. They have
addressed many of these issues by zoning this area RT. The intent of the Ada County
zone RT is to provide for a transition from agricultural and rural areas to urbanized
housing. It provides for increased restriction of agricultural uses to-allow residential
urbanization to take place without being affected by nearby farming.: I have enclosed a
copy of this section of the code for your information.
Respectfully Submitted

RE: Fencing of boundary between Salmon Rapids and Kachina Estates
Mr. Schild;
I am attempting to find a way of satisfying the concerns you have expressed. It is my
intent to find a way of providing new home sights in Salmon Rapids Subdivision while
protecting the rights of our neighbors in Kachina Estates. I believe the residents of
Kachina Estates have the right to pursue the lifestyle that attracted them to this area in
the first place. I understand that an unclimable, sight obscuring fence that is not flam-
mable will provide the type of security that you have requested in your comments to me
and to the Meridian City Council. The chain link fence with metal slats that I recommend
is an improvement over open chain link fence with a berm. With this type of fence a
youngster with an air rifle would not be able to shoat through the fence, headlights would
not shine through the fence and children would not readily cross from Salmon Rapids
into Kachina Estates or vice versa. However uncontrolled burning would blacken this
fence as it would any non flammable object.
On Apri122nd I talked with Walt Marrow regarding this issue and he expressed the opin-
ion that a masonry wall is not appropriate at this sight `and that weeds might be allowed
to grow along the fence creating a home for vermin. In the covenants and requirement
for this development I will provide for individual homeowner maintenance of our side of
the fence. Mr. Marrow suggested that I write and ask that the Kachina Estates home-
owners be willing to provide similar maintenance for the other side of the fence. I am
concerned that you might consider allowing weeds and brush to grow up along this
fence so that it might create a fire hazard to the new home owners in Salmon Rapids. I
request your assistance and that of the other residents of Kachina Estates in mainte-
nance of your side of the fence.
Enclosed is a vicinity map that includes the boundary which I propose to fence, a copy of
a letter that I am sending to Mr. Walt Marrow and a manufacturers brochure for the type
of fence that we propose. This appears to us to address each issue that you have
raised. I am tryir-g to help you to evaluate my effort to resolve this issue. Please call if I
may be of additional assistance in this matter.

Mr. Morrow;
Thank you for meeting with me to discuss the fencing along the boundary between our
proposed.. Salmon Rapids Subdivision and the existing Kachina Estates Subdivision.
Your suggestions have been helpful.. especiallythe comments about the inappropriate-
ness of a masonry wall at the boundary of Kachina Estates and Salmon Rapids. I also
wish to provide a copy of the letter hat you recommended I write to Mr Les Shild of
Kachina Estates.
I also would like to provide you with a copy of the Section of the Ada County Code as it
does relate to the development of Salmon Rapids and its relationship with Kachina
Estates. The Code should alleviate the concern you expressed of agricultural activity
next to residential areas creating future conflict. Ada County has endeavored to end this
potential conflict in writing the development code. They intend agricultural use to be re-
stricted as urbanization takes place. This is the basis of zoning this area (including
Salmon Rapids Subdivision and Kachina Estates) RT. It appears that the open burning
and some of the other activities that Mr. Shild states are common in Kachina Estates are
restricted as urbanization takes place. In RT zoned land use the intent of the Ada
County Code is that urbanization is to take place and agricultural uses are to -come
limited so that t~ will no im act nearbX urbanizing areas. This should be a basis for
eliminating legal questions in the future.
Thank you for your assistance in this and other matters. If I can be of help please call
me.
Sincerely
Marty Goldsmith

8-4A-1: PURPOSE: The purpose of this Article is to identify lands lying
within the Areas of City Impact on the Ada County Comprehensive
Plan Map that are not zoned residential, commercial or industrial. Such lands are
presently not served by urban services and urban growth should be discouraged
until urban services are extended. At such time, it is appropriate to rezone RT
lands to applicable urban zoning classifications and to permit development that is
in accordance with the applicable City/Community Comprehensive Plan. Until such
time, appropriate use of these lands include agricultural uses and residential
development of a rural character.
Since the long term use will be urban development, it is important to limit uses to
those that will not significantly impact nearby urbanizing areas with noise, odor,
dust or other agricultural nuisances normally related to more intensive farm uses,
such as: feed lots, stockyards or other similar uses. This Article, however, shall in
no way preclude the continued use of lands within these areas for agricultural
purposes.

Morrow: So that is possible, but we can't make those decisions until we have the
information from the engineer.
Smith: That is correct.
Kingsford: Any other questions from the Council? What is your pleasure?
Morrow: Well 1 think from my perspective the issue of the sewer is very critical, it
makes a determination whether this is a feasible project or not. And I am not
comfortable making a decision subject to, there are several variables that can be
worked through here dependant upon that engineering data from Skyline's engineer
so that our engineer and staff have a better opportunity to determine what is doable
and then provide us with that information so that we can make the decisions based
on our alternatives. I don't see that information here. I think my personal preference
would be to table, I don't like tabling things, to April 5th pending that information
coming from Skyline's engineer so that we can make a decision.
Kingsford: Do we have a motion?

the neighbors on this project. The minimum .frontage on the lots is 80 feet and the
average square footage of the lots will be approximately 10,000 square feet. The
minimum square footage of the homes will b 1500 square feet, we propose a middle
end subdivision here. We have worked on addressing Gary Smith's concerns and fee
that we can also handle ACHD's recommendations and provide a good quality
development for the City of Meridian. I would like to open this to questions at this
time.
Kingsford: Any questions for Mr. Goldsmith?
Yerrington: How many lots in this subdivision?
Goldsmith: 78
Kingsford: And other questions?
Morrow: My answer to Gary Smith's question on question #10, why isn't the total
parcel being proposed for annexation and zoning, preliminary plat at this time? What
does the street alignment look like in the unplatted area, can you comment on some
of those points?
Goldsmith: You bet, I have as he recommended prepared a preliminary plat for the
rest of it so you can see the designs. I will get another pictorial at this moment, the
reason that the rest is not being brought in is because I haven't determined what the
best usage for that property is and I have take downs on the property and didn't want
to proceed any further than the owner that I am purchasing from wished me to. I did
send a letter in clarifying this issue.
Morrow: The potion without the measurements is the part of the property that is not
being addressed at this time?
Goldsmith: That is correct
Morrow: And has Gary had a chance to see this?
Goldsmith: That is my understanding.

where as you can see the topographical map down, it goes down fairly steep there
and so we have tried to provide Gary with the proper survey measurements to run his
calculations and we show that we will gravity feed all of these this way. The sewer

setting, which allows us livestock, such as horse ,
ducks, geese, dogs, cats or llamas or whatever else kind of animal I want to consider
we do raise these animals for 4H projects, our own pleasure as well as profit. As an
agricultural subdivision we also use sprays, fertilizers and burning to maintain our
properties and raising new grass, and hays for our livestock. And such machinery as
tractors, swathers, and bailers are used in the harvesting of these crops at all hours
of the day and evenings. We don't want an incident like occurred over in Nampa
where a man was arrested at 10:00 o'clock at night for bailing his hay. This is why
we wanted these things entered into the minutes. We are still in the county where
we are located as you are well aware of. I will submit this to the Council.
Tolsma: I think what you are talking about (inaudible) is the right to farm. I think we

see that on the Summerfield Estates out there off of Ustick Road.
Kingsford: I think what the judge said even in downtown Caldwell was he has a right
to farm in the City. So I don't think that will be an issue, I think you are right to put
it in the minutes because people need to know about those activities next door to
them.
Schild: Well, we will at times burn ditches as well as maybe burn a whole grass field
off, that helps rejuvenate it.
Kingsford: Don't burn their houses Les.
Schild: Well, that is one of the reasons that we are talking about this substantial
division. Jeremy (inaudible- farmed that land behind you for dnmuchrratheeabumna
I have never burned one of his cornfields down yet. I wou

Morrow: Well, if I might comment on this particular issue, I think it is contingent
upon the development community and the real estate community and more so the real
estate community than anyone else is that and whether you notice it in your
covenants and restrictions or whether you notice it by handout to potential buyers
that everybody ought to receive a notice that these conditions exist so that a year
from now we don't have a bunch of legal beagles with their clients coming before us
complaining about agricultural activity and the fact that the real estate community or
the developers never told them that there is a group of folks to the south of them that
are actively engaged in all types of legiti uaas the developertthat all oflthoset h ngs
that the ownice there would be upon yo
happen and 1 would like to see from my standpoint what avenue that you are going
to use to make sure that that notice occurs to those potential buyers before they buy
not after. And so I think that is how I would like to see that addressed.
Kingsford: Any other comments or questions? Thank you Les, anyone else from the
public that would like to offer testimony on this issue?
Beveraly Donahue, 3775 North Locust Grove, was sworn by the Attorney.
Donahue: The reason I am talking tonight is I five on North Locust Grove, the

see are heading out the way towards South Locust Grove. As of last night if
everyone read the newspaper Meridian to school is expectingr100gmore lyoungsters

this fall and that would make 700. The school is already over they don't know what
solution they are going to come up with. Now, it goes back to the development, it
goes back to, you can keep doing all these subdivisions. This guy now tonight wants
78 lots put in. Times 2 it is a 156 more children, are there any schools on that side.
Where are these children going to go, we can put in as many portable as you want,
we still have to educate these kids, give them a quality education. When we are
putting portable up how about bathrooms, how about cafeterias, how are we going
to feed all these kids. These are mainly a lot of my concerns right now because we
have more problem with all this growth and schools trying to get together because
right now you guys have more authority I feel than the schools do because you can
say wait a minute we need to take a long look. What are we going to do with these
kids that are coming in that area. We have another major concern if kids want to play
in recreation, Boise might shut off their parks to us. How many baseball fields do we
have in Meridian, 2. We have one under construction but in the mean time what are
we going to do with all of these kids in different area moving in which is fine. I am
for growth, but these kids have go to have things to do, they have to have an
education, and we can't put them on the back burner. It is just like the sewer and
water, we have to have that when the housing is here, we have to have education
and recreation and things for these children which are future members of the City of
Meridian. This is a major concern and I hope that the Council takes it into their
thoughts, thank you.
Kingsford: Thank you Beveraly, anyone else from the public?
Goldsmith: Mr. Morrow, in direct response to you, I will incorporate the requirement
for fencing and for and I will take of the farming and such in my CCR's and I will
inform these people and as far as the Salmon Rapids and the subdivision across the
street, Wayne Forrey and I have worked hand in hand to put together a school site,
which seemed to be a stumbling block earlier and we came forward and had a
proposed plan that looks good at this point. I am optimistic for the school and
teaching to keep going on.
Tolsma: I have a question, I noticed in there that the school district said that you had
provided a 3 acre park for the school site, where about is that located in that area?
Goldsmith: It is directly across the street, this is Salmon Rapids the one we are
discussing it is going to take out this corner 3 acres here. I have spoken to another
developer here and he has verbally confirmed that he would give up 4 acres if we can
get 3 and 4 and another one I think we will have a good project here.
Tolsma: Have you spoken to the landowners that are up from there? Are they going
Meridian City Council
March 15, 1994
Page 36
to develop their own land, is that owned by developers or farmers?
Goldsmith: I have spoken to, there is a large chunk of land that would have been a
good school sites. In my intents to nail down a school site to eliminate this stumbling
block this was one of them that I originally looked at and it was difficult for me to buy
school ground for a school with no money. This land is for sale they will not by
developing it themselves.
Tolsma: I was just wondering if there was a possibility that for all 4 corners that are
went together and acquired the ground there for a school site or made it available for
the school to purchase at some time.
Goldsmith: We definitely have got 2 of the 4, the other 2 properties would form this
4 corner rectangles. It is my understanding that it will be mainly contingent on their
development. I do see those other 2 properties coming in quickly.
Kingsford: Something that we need to look at too, Wayne and Shari, is to consider
a park adjacent to those schools as we have outlined in the Comprehensive Plan.
Wayne Forrey, 52 East Franklin Road, was sworn by the Attorney.
Forrey: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, and Marty to update Councilman
Tolsma's question we now have the 3rd of that 4 corner parcel. It has been
purchased by Gary Voight, he intends to develop. We had a meeting here and
indicated that the pattern had been set with 2 of the 4 parcels committing to a school
site combination with neighborhood park. And that is why it is 3 acres from
Goldsmith property, 4 acres from Greg Johnson, 3 or 4 from Gary Voight and either
3 or 4 from the next property to give us a total of 14 acres which would be a
combination elementary school and neighborhood park. And we have a letter from
the school district indicating that would be the site and they have asked the City to
keep that commitment that it be there and to tag that onto the rest of the developers.
We have 3 of them committed so that one is working and that might give Mrs.
Donahue some confidence that we are watching that and when we get the
opportunity we are following through.
Kingsford: One other thing relative to Mrs. Donahue's comments, that is in the
attendance zone for Mary McPherson. What is the status of it in terms of, you were
speaking to Chief Joesph and.
Forrey: I have it right here, it is 113% so it is definitely needed in this area.

Goldsmith: I have a fetter I will be giving Gary Smith tomorrow when I talk to him
about the issue that I have an appointment with which is the ground water elevation.
That letter is from Greg Martinez and he is with the Army Corps of Engineers and the
Nine Mile Drain needs to be left open and if you will find in your ordinance book that
your ordinance applies to irrigation canals and that such and that drainage are an

APPLICATION OF GOLDSMITH CHARTER AND ROYLANCE AND ASSOCIATES
FOR A VARIANCE FROM 11-9-605 M TILING OF DITCHES
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS
The above entitled variance request having come on for
consideration on February 15, 1994, at approximately 7:30 o'clock
p.m. on said date, at the Meridian City Hall, 33 East Idaho Street,
Meridian, Idaho, the Applicant, Marty Goldsmith appearing, and the
City Council having heard and taken oral and written testimony, the
City Council of the City of Meridian makes the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. That notice of the public hearing on the variance was
published for two consecutive weeks prior to the scheduled hearing
for February 15, 1994, the first publication of which was fifteen
(15) days prior to said hearing; that the matter was duly
considered at the February 15, 1994, hearing; that copies of all
notices were available to newspaper, radio and television stations.
2. That notice of public hearing is required to be sent to
property owners within 300 feet of the external boundaries of the
land being considered pursuant to 11-2-416 E., 11-2-419 D., and 11-
9-612 B. 1.b of the Revised and Compiled Ordinances of the City of
Meridian; that his requirement has been met.
3. That Ordinance 11-9-605 M., PIPING OF DITCHES, requires
all irrigation ditches, laterals or canals, exclusive of natural
FINDINGS OF FACT & CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - Page 1
• •
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 restrain access
to said ditch, lateral or canal.
4. That the Applicant, Marty Goldsmith, has requested that
he be granted a variance from the above ditch piping requirements
and be allowed not to pipe the Eight Mile Lateral; that the Eight
Mile Lateral would require the of greater than 48 inches; that Mr.
Goldsmith is working on an agreement with Nampa and Meridian
Irrigation to provide not only a fence on the Eight Mile Lateral
but also gates across the crossings on the Eight Mile Lateral that
will be locked.
5. That Marty Goldsmith stated the Nampa Meridian Irrigation
District license agreement calls for cedar fencing, however, the
City Council recommends that chain link or rod iron would be more
acceptable; typically over a period of years, cedar fencing
wouldn't provide a good safety net; the Ordinance requiring that
ditches be tiled may be changed so that ditches which require the
of over a 48 inches may not have to be tiled; that the Nampa &
Meridian Irrigation District has informed the City that the grates
required for ditches that require larger the than 48 inches may be
more dangerous than not having the ditch tiled.
6. Mr. Goldsmith was in agreement with changing the material
of fencing and would re-submit with the Nampa Meridian Irrigation
District.
FINDINGS OF FACT & CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - Page 2
•
7. The entire property in question is described in the
variance application and is incorporated herein as if set forth in
full.
8. That the property in the area where the variance is
requested is zoned R-4 Low Density Residential District.
9. That the Applicant does not own the property. The owner
of the property is J. G. McDermott, Meridian, Idaho.
10. That no other testimony was heard at the hearing.
11. That the City Engineer, Ada County Highway District,
Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District or the Central District Health
Department may submit comments and they shall be incorporated
herein if submitted.
CONCLUSIONS
1. That all the procedural requirements of the Local
Planning Act and of the Ordinances of the City of Meridian have
been met including the mailing of notice to owners of property
within 300 feet of the external boundaries of the Applicant's
property.
2. That the City has authority to grant variances pursuant
to Section 11-2-419 of the Zoning Ordinance and pursuant to Section
11-9-612 of the Development Ordinances.
3. That the City Council has judged this application by the
guidelines, standards, criteria, and policies contained in the
Subdivision and Development Ordinance upon which it may take
judicial notice.
FINDINGS OF FACT & CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - Page 3
• •
4. That the Council may take judicial notice of its own
proceedings, those of the Commission, governmental statutes,
ordinances, and policies, and of actual conditions existing within
the City and the State.
5. That the following provisions of Section 11-9-605 M,
PIPING OF DITCHES, of the Subdivision and Development Ordinance are
noted which are pertinent to the Application:
"All irrigation ditches, laterals or canals, exclusive of
natural waterways, intersecting, crossing or lying adjacent
and contiguous, on both sides of the area being subdivided,
shall be covered-and enclosed with tiling or other covering
equivalent in ability to detour access to said ditch, lateral
or canal. The City may waive this requirement for covering
such ditch, lateral or canal, if it finds that the public
purpose requiring such will not be served in the individual
case. Any covering program involving the distribution system
of any irrigation district shall have the prior approval of
that affected district. ."
6. That the City Council is meeting to consider changing the
Ordinance regarding the piping of large ditches; that the Ordinance
may be changed.
7. That the specific requirements regarding a variance that
must be evidenced and found by the City Council are as follows:
No variance shall be favorably acted upon by the Council
unless there is a finding, as a result of a public hearing,
that all of the following exist:
a. That there are such special circumstances or conditions
affecting the property that the strict application of the
provisions of this Ordinance would be clearly
impracticable or unreasonable; in such cases, the
subdivider shall first state his reasons in writing as
to the specific provision or requirement involved;
b. That strict compliance with the requirements of this
Ordinance would result in extraordinary hardship to the
subdivider because of unusual topography, the nature or
condition of adjacent development, other physical
FINDINGS OF FACT & CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - Page 4
• •
conditions or other conditions that make strict
compliance with this Ordinance unreasonable under the
circumstances, or that the conditions and requirements of
this Ordinance will result in inhibiting the achievement
or objectives of this Ordinance.
c. That the granting of the specified variance will be
detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other
property in the area in which the property is situated;
d. That such variance will not violate the provisions of the
Idaho code; and
e. That such variance will not have the effect of nullifying
the interest and purpose of this Ordinance and the
Comprehensive Development Plan.
8. That there does appear to be a specific benefit or profit,
economic gain or convenience to the Applicant if this variance is
granted; however, to require tiling of the ditch would cause
extreme hardship to Applicant, and the Council is considering
amending the ditch tiling ordinance so that ditches of this size
would not be required to be tiled.
9. That the requirement of tiling ditches is a health and
safety requirement; that by reason of the size of this ditch, it
appears that to require tiling of this ditch would not achieve the
safety purpose for which tiling is required in the Ordinance.
10. That the irrigation district affected has not demanded
that this ditch be tiled in one other subdivision.
11. That regarding Section 11-9-612 A. 2., regarding the
tiling of ditches, it is specifically concluded as follows:
a. That there are special circumstances or conditions
affecting the property that the strict application of
the provisions of the ditch tiling Ordinance would
clearly be unreasonable.
b. That strict compliance with the requirements of this
FINDINGS OF FACT & CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - Page 5
• •
ditch tiling Ordinance would result in extraordinary
hardship to the Applicant.
c. That the granting of a variance would not be detrimental
to the public's welfare or possibly injurious to the
public.
d. That the granting of this variance would not violate the
Idaho Code.
e. That the variance would not have the effect of altering
the interests and purposes of the ditch tiling Ordinance
which is included in the Subdivision and Development
Ordinance for safety purposes.
12. That it is concluded that the Application for a variance
from 11-9-605 M, PIPING OF DITCHES, should be granted.
13. That since the piping of the ditches is not going to be
required, other safety measures must be undertaken to assist the
health, safety, and welfare of the people of this City; that it is
concluded that the Applicant must fence the ditch with either chain
link or rod iron and provide gates which will be locked according
to the standards of the Nampa Meridian Irrigation District.

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

ITEM#5: PUBLIC HEARING: VARIANCE REQUEST FOR LANDFALL SUBDIVISION
BY GOLDSMITH CHARTER:
Kingsford: At this time I will open the public hearing and invite the owner or his
representative to speak first.
Marty Goldsmith, 4550 West State Street, Boise, was sworn by the Attorney.
Crookston: Just to start out with, would you state the previous name of this
subdivision?
Goldsmith: It was Upland Meadows and that was disapproved by John Priester, I
believe Landfall is also out, so it also needs to be known Landfall has been
approved as Salmon Rapids.
Kingsford: I'm not sure I like that one, will you come up with a different one?
Goldsmith: No problem.
Kingsford: Salmon Rapids
Goldsmith: Mr. Mayor and Council, we're going to talk about the tiling of the
Eight Mile Lateral, it is a very similar situation that we have gone through with
Hunts Bluff #2. It is the same ditch, it is not very far downstream and it is
carrying the same water flow. So, I'm proposing to fence it and as per Wayne
•
Meridian City Council
February 15, 1994
Page 9
•
Forrey's suggestions I'm in compliance with the City of Meridian we've had a
license agreement drawn up with Nampa Meridian Irrigation District and will be
providing not only a fence on the Eight Mile Lateral, gates across the crossings on
the Eight Mile Lateral that will be locked and they will be to their standards and we
are still working those out. That is about it, I've got some vicinity maps if those
are too small to see I can pinpoint it for you.
Kingsford: I think the Council is familiar with it, any questions?
Morrow: I have a question, in Wayne Forrey's comments he is calling for suitable
fencing, what does suitable fencing mean?
Goldsmith: Once again that is per the license agreement with the Nampa Meridian
Irrigation District.
Morrow: Is that 6 foot chain link?
Goldsmith: The license agreement calls for cedar fencing.
Morrow: Cedar fencing, will that be protected from burning when the ditch banks
are bermed?
Goldsmith: That is what they have approved and I would be more than happy to
re-submit that to Nampa Meridian Irrigation District for chain link. This license
agreement was drawn up probably 4 months ago, and in fact everything that I had
seen had been in cedar fencing to that point. Mr. Tolsma, I believe has been in
touch with Nampa Meridian Irrigation District since then and has come forward
with the chain link, that is what we are going to do at the Hunts Bluff #2.
Kingsford: I think not only the burn issue but the fact that the boards have a
tendency to come loose, get kicked out and our big concern is the safety of
children in that area. So certainly it would be my recommendation that there be a
chain link.
Goldsmith: Would rod iron be acceptable?
Kingsford: I would think that would be even more acceptable depending on its,
you know what its mesh might be.
Goldsmith: I don't have a problem re-doing that agreement and I don't think
. ~~ ~ •
Meridian City Council
February 15, 1994
Page 10
Nampa Meridian would either.
Morrow: I think I would have to be in favor of that because the issue here is that
we are doing away with the culvert for a safety issue because its a 60 inch culvert
for that ditch we are going to change the Ordinance down to 48 inches. With a
reasonably short period of time, meaning 5 years or less typicall~r cedar fences
wouldn't provide that safety net that I think that we are after. And so I would
personally like to see either a chain link or a rod iron type of fence that is more ling
term and that the Homeowners Association that ultimately is responsible for caring
for it doesn't get eaten alive in annual installments to fix the fence. So, in order
for me to support it you would have to have that type of fencing.
Corrie: Mr. Mayor, I would like to suggest that perhaps we could get it all alike
along there if at all possible. Like you said in Hunts Bluff #2 and now this one
Goldsmith: Actually the first phase of Hunts #1 was done in cedar fencing, so I'm
more thank happy to switch over for you, whatever I can for you. The license
agreement is stating that this side of the Eight Mile Lateral which would be
northeast side is going to be parallel with the ditch and it was calling out for there
to be each individual lot backing up into that having a fence run off the ditch
perpendicular as well. So that is to be put around (inaudible), do you guys have
that license agreement, need it, I can send it over. I don't know if it is before
you?
Kingsford: I don't think 1 have seen it.
Berg: Its in the file
Kingsford: It is in the file, we didn't make copies of it which is typical, but we
have a copy.
Goldsmith: So whatever you guys need as far as alignment and whatever you
need as far as material not a problem.
Kingsford: Any other questions for Mr. Goldsmith? Thank you, I'll invite anyone
else from the public that would like to offer testimony on this issue. That is
Landfall, formerly Upland Meadows now Salmon Rapids. Seeing none I'll close the
public hearing, Council members.
Morrow: Mr. Mayor, I can support the Findings given the suitable fencing.

ITEM #13: PROCLAMATION: FFA WEEK:
Kingsford: I'm going to take a little executive privilege here and vary from the
agenda, I'd hat to keep the young man from the FFA up late. I'd like to proclaim
this week as FFA weak. Whereas, the Future Farmers of America with vocational
agriculture education is a strong force for America's agriculture; and Whereas,
members of the FFA are playing an outstanding rote in assuring the future progress
and prosperity of our nation; and Whereas, the FFA motto--"Learning to do, doing
to learn; earning to live, living to serve"-- gives direction of purpose to these future
leaders for tomorrow's agriculture; and Whereas, the FFA performs the valuable
service of developing leadership, encouraging cooperation, .promoting good
citizenship, teaching modern information; and inspiring patriotism among its
members. Now, therefore I, Grant Kingsford, Mayor of Meridian declare the week
of February 18 - 22, 1994 as FFA Week and encourage everyone to do so and
remind the Council that the FFA is sponsoring a breakfast Friday morning 6:00 to
8:00 and encourage you to be there. Would you like to come forward and get

DATE: FEBRUARY 11, 1994
RE: VARIANCE FOR LANDFALL SUBDIVISION
TILING OF EIGHT MILE LATERAL
Tiling the Eight Mile Lateral will require a 60 inch pipe according to Roylance
Engineers. The City's current Zoning and Development Ordinance requires tiling of
open waterways, however the Subdivision Ordinance is currently being revised to
establish a 48 inch threshold for waterway tiling. I recommend that this variance
be granted with the condition that suitable fencing be installed that complies with
the City of Meridian and Nampa Meridian Irrigation District fencing requirements.
