property. See attached Warranty Deed.
5) Parcel # S1107449110
Sec 7 3N, RIE
Inst. # 8734540
6) The property is currently used for the manufacture of concrete masonry products with a
small retail office space and warehouse storage area. Manufactured masonry products are
stored on site until sold.
7) The intended use of the property will remain the same as described in #6 above.

8) The site has been annexed by the City of Meridian. Builders Masonry Products is
proposing to connection to the City of Meridian Sewer System. Builders Masonry
Products has been in discussions with the City of Meridian Sewer District personnel in
regards to pretreatment requirements.
9) See attached Assessor Office drawings (scale 1 inch = 200 feet).
10) No building construction is proposed.
11) See Table 1 for a list of area property owners.
12) The block plant is located approximately 900 feet north of Franklin Road. The cost to
extend the water main 663 feet past the front of the property to comply with the "to and
through" ordinance does not benefit the site. The justification to connect the site to City
water to monitor flows to the City sewer system does not fit with the site operations. The
primary use of water on-site is for concrete batching. Concrete batching equipment is
cleaned by scrapping and chipping; no wash water is used. As a result, a much smaller
volume of water would be discharged to the sewer system than supplied to the site by the
City potable water system. The block plant contains one small restroom facility. The
retail and warehouse facility along the south end of the site contains restroom facilities.
The site contains an on-site potable water well that is in good operation. A monthly sewer
fee could be calculated based upon fixture counts and estimated flows from the floor
drains.
13) The City Council needs to waive the need to extend the water line along Franklin Road
and the requirement to hook to City water in order to obtain City sewer.
14) The extension of the water line would result in a disruption of traffic along Franklin and
access into Builders Masonry Products. The potable water metering is not a reasonable
method for calculating sewer fees for a concrete block manufacturing facility. Sewer fees
would be excessive if based upon metered water usage at the site. The capital investment
made for an on-site potable water system would be non -beneficial, but costs would
remain.
15) The manufacturing of masonry products at the site is unique. The use of treated municipal
water for the batching of concrete would place an extra unnecessary burden on the City of
Meridian water system when ample well water is available at the concrete block plant.
See #12 above.
16) The site manufacturing activities consume a large amount of water that is not discharged
to the sanitary sewer. Site manufacturing activities are relatively unique to the City of
Meridian annexation area. Capital investments have already been made for an on-site
potable water system.

17) Connecting the Block Plant to the City of Meridian sewer system best serves the long
term groundwater quality interests of the City of Meridian. Waste streams would be
treated by the municipal treatment plant using a controlled treatment process. The sewer
treatment plant has strict effluent discharged guidelines.
18) The requirement of the "to and through" ordinance does not benefit Builders Masonry
Products. The site has an adequate supply of potable water. The ordinance deprives
property owners of their rights to use existing infrastructure systems after investing
considerable capital expense at the sites. To be forced to connect to municipal water does
not serve any apparent public need if property owners have approved potable water
systems already in place. Builders Masonry Products did not have any control over the
passage of the "to and through" ordinance which requires that municipal water lines be
extended for the full length private property frontage, even in the event of no benefital
gain to the property owner. When compared to the standard hook-up fee for a sewer
connection, the costs to extend a water main for the full length of one's private property
are disproportionate and unreasonable especially when the water is not needed. Builders
Masonry Products could not control annexation by the City of Meridian.
19) A waiver from this ordinate should be reviewed on a case by case basis by the City of
Meridian for all property owners. Property owners with developed sites should be given
the same consideration.
20) The variance does not compromise the Meridian Comprehensive Plan. The "to and
through" ordinate results in municipal water lines being extended at the cost of private
property owners, regardless if the property is already developed or not. A more equitable
approach may be for the City of Meridian to assess development impact fees. The
proposed waiver does not limit the extension of the water line at some time in the future.
21) The application and fee is attached.
22) Builders Masonry Products would benefit from the connection to the City of Meridian
Sewer system. The sewer connection would allow the site to discharge industrial and
sanitary waste streams to the City of Meridian sewer system for treatment. The facility is
prepared to pay the sewer connection fees and monthly invoices for the service. By
contrast, there are no benefits to Builders Masonry Products to extend the potable water
line along the frontage of Franklin Road. The site will not profit by having the water line
extended. The variance will allow the best practical treatment of waste water and provide
a more reasonable method to determine sewer flows.
23) Builders Masonry Products agrees to post the site in accordance with the requirements of
the City of Meridian.

RE: Variance hearing/February 4, 1997/Builders Masonry Products
Dear Sirs:
I would like to submit this letter as written testimony to be
considered by the City Council in the matter of the request for a
variance to waive a water line extension, fronting 1300 East
Franklin Road.
As a neighboring property owner and developer, I am not in favor of
nor can I support Builders Masonry Products request for said
variance. As a local developer I have always been required to
extend services, i.e. water and sewer, as a condition of approval,
to any project that I have undertaken. The "Notice of Hearing"
for this meeting did not mention sewer line. Does that indicate
that they are extending the sewer? If not, why not?
Currently I am beginning the development process on property
directly across from Builders Masonry Products on East Franklin
Road. Extension of the sewer and water services will certainly be
conditions of approval for my development and it would be onerous
and unfair to grant Builders Masonry Products a variance of this
standard condition and subsequently require Properties West Inc. to
stand the entire cost of extending these services.
Therefore, I respectfully request denial of this variance request.
If you would like to speak to me for clarification or if you have
any questions please don't hesitate to contact me.

been extremely disruptive to our business. Apparently the consultants agreed and
rerouted the sewer line. Builders Masonry Products also feels the coordination of the
prior sewer line installation should have no bearing on the approval of this variance.
Meridian public works suggests that we be allowed to continue the use of the existing
well for the protection of Masonry Products only and that we convert the
office/warehouse and block plant areas to the City water system. Under this application
for variance our plan was to have the office/warehouse area remain on well water and
its existing septic system. Builders Masonry Products would make a decision to
connect to the city water and sewer system for the office/warehouse area at a later time
if that need exists. Demanding that we hook up to the city water when we already have
an existing well for our facility is unreasonable and puts and undue financial burden on
Builders Masonry Products for services that are not needed at this time. Their final
statement, "Although Builders Masonry Products wouldn't realize a great benefit from
the City's water system they would reap the benefits of the city sewer system" is
accurate and the very reason that we are requesting a variance. By comecting to the
sewer system we would be able to wash our trucks on site and discharge processed
water through the sewer system. The alternative would be to design a treatment and
disposable system on site. There would be no benefit for Builders Masonry Products to
extend the water main across the property since we already have an existing on site
potable water well that is in good operation and which capital investments have already
been made. For Properties West Inc., Builders Masonry Products has already stated
that the hook up to the city water is unnecessary for purposes at this time. I can give
you a copy of this.
Corrie: Council, any comments or questions of Stephanie? Thank you, is there anyone
else from the public that would like to issue testimony on this variance request?
Hearing none, Council, question or discussion?
Morrow. Just a question, the letter from Properties West that will be entered into the
public record.
Corrie: Any further comments or questions? I will close the public hearing, Council?
Morrow. Mr. Mayor, I would like to have Gary Smith's comments with respect to this
project.
Smith: Mr. Mayor and Council, the request was to hook to the sewer only I believe.
Our concerns in the past in particular where just a request for sewer is made is how do
we monitor the amount of material entering our sewer, quantity wise. 1 think in this
particular case we suggested that they connect at least part.of this facility to the water
system. Because of the ordinance requirements that are in existence today that permit
the City Council to require a development or a property that is within 300 last of a City
facility to connect within 15 days after notice. That is part of the ordinance. We don't
have a problem with them using their well for their production water. I dorft know how
Meridian City Council
'February 4, 1997

much water they use, maybe they can give us some indication. But, under our present
water demand for the City I would make the same statement, I don't remember who it
was recently that was requesting to utilize or to connect to City Water, Mountain View
Equipment wanted to utilize city water for only fire protection because they had an on
site well and I didn't have a problem with that particular request. They are in the
County.
Morrow. Mr. Morrow, question Gary, I have worked on industrial projects where on the
project by virtue of the special circumstances there was a flow meter station within the
sewer line that monitored the actual flow or the out flow from the industrial entity and
then they were billed according to that actual flow in that flow meter station and it is
recorded 24 hours a day. Do we have provision in our ordinance to allow for that type
of station?
Smith: I don't think our ordinance is specific to the type of monitoring that would be
installed but there are electronic devices that are available to monitor flow on a
recorder.
Morrow. And that would be maintained by the owner and read by the city if it is a
normal application.
Smith: We would have to make a provision, wee don't have one of those in the system at
this point, none exists. So I am a little bit ignorant as to what that will actually be, what
that piece of equipment looks like and how often we would have to physically read it,
remove charts or whatever it might be. But I am sure that equipment is available.
Morrow. I have actually worked on projects with those and it is readily available and the
system seems to work pretty well, I think as we develop more of an industrial base we
will have more of those site specific things if we want to have in position including pre-
treatment and those other kinds of things that are designed specifically for a user. If
this is a case for that.
Smith: If we don't have a water metering device available that is correct. Water
coming through a meter that we can relate to what is going into the sewer.
Rountree: Question for Mr. Smith, do we have any numbers that relate to capacity
demand from this user and the type of discharge that we would be receiving?
Smith: No I don't.
Churchman: According to your question we have our engineer that is representing us
from Century West he can address that question if the Council allows?
Corrie: Do I need to open the public hearing back up?

Corrie: I will open the public hearing back up.
John Schwartz, 5257 Fairview, Boise, was sworn by the City Attorney.
Schwartz: There are a couple of things that I would like to mention and this is my
discussion with the folks over at the sewer district. I understand what Gary's concern
is, I was led to believe that the time that there were other ways to quantify the flows that
are actually going to the treatment system. One would be to give our best estimate as
to how much water was being generated from the industrial processes and also from
the wash racks and so forth and take an average that way and be billed on that type of
basis. There is the other mechanism that you mentioned that we could put in a flow
meter that would measure the depth of flow over time and from that you could calculate
the volume that would be going out through the lines as well. My concern is additional
to that and you folks have this drawing in your package. The building that we are
looking at hooking up to is the block plant building which is probably 500 to 600 feet
south of where the main line runs across Franklin. The Masonry Builders Center at this
point is not looking at the option of wanting to hook up the building that is up front
which is where the warehouse and office facilities are located. So to best serve their
needs it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to be running that water line through the full
length of their property and then have to run a 500 to 600 feet to the south to run down
to that block plant because they want to run a surer line to that particular facility. The
sewer line itself runs if you will to the east or to the right side of that page or down
along where that description of basin two is. It is about a 400 to 500 foot ran to make
that connection to the building. Again to make the requirement to run that water across
the full length of the facility and then all the way into the block plant to accommodate
relatively small flows I think is a pretty heavy requirement on that. The estimated flows
are probably going to be maybe on the order of, well they have three drains into the
cure room that they want to connect and then they have to deal with the wash area. So
at best you are probably going to be looking at maybe 15 to 20 gallons an hour going
into that facility. I am not sure if that addresses all of your questions on volumes. So
the flows themselves are pretty insignificant it is just the issue that they want to use the
vehicle was rack which is shown here on that drawing as well as ran some other
industrial drains into the system. In my mind I think it would be best served to allow us
to estimate the flows to the system. I know it is easy to say we have a connection to the
potable water line and you can put a flow meter on it. In this particular application you
have a block plant that is using a lot of water into the process of batching of concrete
and so forth. To be using a flow meter on the supply lines to calculate the usage of the
sewer lines I think would be a major injustice as far as the actual quantity of water
going back to the sewer system. So either a flow meter in line or estimating the
quantities per month that would be agreeable to the sewer district I think would be the
best approach for the client.

Morrow. Mr. Mayor may I respond, the concept Mr. Schwartz in terms of the flow meter
was on the sewer line not on the supply line. The flow meters that I am familiar with are
actually on the sewer line.
Schwartz: I understand that, but I believe Mr. Smith's comment was if you monitor the
flow going into the facility then you charge that for the flow going out of the facility on
the sewer lines, do I understand that statement?
Smith: That is correct, that is what our ordinance requires on a commercial business.
Schwartz: I don't think that is really represented here, it is not as if all of the water
(inaudible) where they are going into a sanitary rest room facility where the water in
pretty much matches the water going out that really doesn't apply here.
Morrow. Well to take the point to clarify it a little bit more for you and my reason for
discussing industrial uses and the need for us to begin to look into discharge flow
meters is that in certain processing facilities they supply themselves with clean water
which is well water and then they discharge major volumes of water into the sewer
system and a city has now way of monitoring that except by virtue of a flow meter on
the sewer line discharge side. What I am suggesting to you here is that you have the
reverse where you use a lot of water if it were supplied by the City to use that water
usage a means of calculating your sewage uses would be unfair. So in this case and in
the former example flow meters on the sewage discharge side or the best and fairest
way of monitoring that usage.
Schwartz: I agree to that approach but I think to take it a step further to require a client
to comply with the to and through policy and run a water line for the full length of their
property because they want to make a connection to the sewer system when they are
willing to pay a hook up fee of $6000 to $7000 to make the connection to the line to
defray the cost of running the line and building the facilities. In addition to that to run
the line through the property and make them hook up to it when they don't need to I
think is a little excessive.
Morrow. Another comment Mr. Mayor, I think ultimately Mr. Schwartz for purposes of
corporate planning the realities are that is going to happen before very long given what
we are seeing going on in the sewage treatment business. The days of individual septic
systems and those types of things are rapidly coming to dose and I think that the issue
here is that if it is not required at this time it will be soon so you need to adjust your
plans accordingly. The two and through policy is a fair policy for land owners on down
to develop. The question is that if it is paid for by somebody else then at such point in
time when this facility hooks onto that water supply which is coming then they are
unfairly enriched at somebody else's expense and I don't think this Council or future
Meridian City Council
February 4, 1997
Page 31
Council's is going to allow that to happen. So it is a question of timing as to what it is
you are going to pay is what it boils down to.
Schwartz: Well I worked on a similar project up in Idaho Falls, not to bring another
project into this scenario, it was that same type of a situation where the City of Idaho
Falls was requesting a client to bring a line up through the full length of their property
which amounted to probably '/ of a mile, it was probably an $80,000 installation and
they only wanted to install a fire hydrant to protect one of the petroleum tanks. The City
did give them a waiver saying it wasn't necessary to run the line for. the full length of the
property because it wasn't really that much of a beneficial use for the people on
through on the other side of the property at that time. So it seems to me that there may
be some flexibility here to either delay the requirement or to waive it altogether and
that is what Builders Masonry Center is (inaudible).
Morrow. I have no more questions Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Council, any further questions or discussions?
Rountree: I just have a clarification I guess I need from Council. It seems to me that
what is being asked for is only one part of the equation, a variance to hook up to the
sewer. It seems to me that there also needs to be a variance to our existing ordinance
at that their request to not hook up with City water. Isn't that a requirement of our
ordinance that they do that?
Crookston: If they are within 300 feet of city water they are required to hook up to both
sewer and water under our ordinance.
Rountree: And that is the case?
Smith: Yes sir.
Morrow. Did I understand you Mr. Smith that the water is at their western boundary.
Smith: Yes
Morrow. So to follow "up on Councilman Rountree's point, are we short a variance here
Counselor or is this variance (inaudible) asking for both?
Corrie: Well they are requesting a variance Mr. Morrow from the to and through
ordinance.
Rountree: That is the request for the variance?
Morrow. For the water

This application is a request for a variance from the requirements of Ordinance 5-124 to extend
to the farthest boundary a 12" diameter water main across their frontage on Franklin Rd. The
applicant desires to connect to the City's sanitary sewer system which traverses along the east
boundary of the subject parcel. This sewer main was installed in 1995 as part of the Five Mile
Trunk line extension to Saint Luke's. The applicant did not participate in the cost of the extension
nor were they willing to aid in routing. Rick Clinton in our office informed the applicants
representative, Mr. John Swartz, P.E. with Century West Engineering, that in order for his clients
to receive sewer service from the City, they would have to extend the water main and connect to
City water as well.
We have reviewed the evidence presented in the application, and have weighed it against the
Findings of Ordinance 2-419-C, to offer the following comments, for your information and
consideration. Following is the text of the Ordinance in italics along with our comments to each
section stating why we feel this application should be denied:
Ordinance 2-419-C Findings
A variance shall not be granted unless (as a result of a public hearing) the Council makes a statement of
supportive reasons based directly on the evidence presented to it which supports conclusions that the mentioned
standards and conditions of this Ordinance have been met by the applicant and unless all of the following exist:
1. That there are such special circumstances or conditions affecting the property that the strict application
of the provisions of this Ordinance would clearly be impracticable or unreasonable; (Ord. 430, 4-2-84)
The applicant has stated in their application that they have an existing on-site potable well
that is in good operation. I would propose that the applicant be allowed to continue the
use of the existing well for the production of masonry products only, and that all domestic

use be converted over to the City's water system. Both the office/warehouse and the
block plant could be connected to the City's sewer system after appropriate applications
and fees are received by the Public Works Department. As stated in their application, "a
monthly sewer fee could be calculated based upon fixture counts and estimated flows from
floor drains", or perhaps a metering device could be installed on the proposed sewer
service line at the point of discharge into the City's sewer system.
2. That strict compliance with the requirements of this Ordinance would result in extraordinary hardship to the
owner, subdtvider or developer because of unusual topography, the nature or condition of adjacent development,
other physical 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
achievements or the objectives of this Ordinance; (Ord. 592, 11-17-92)
• There are no physical characteristics of the subject property that would prevent compliance
with the requirements of Ordinance 5-124. As stated in their application, the 12" diameter
water main would need to be extended approximately 663 feet across the frontage of the
Builders Masonry Products site. In terms of difficulty of construction, this would be a
simple installation. There are no curbs, gutters or sidewalks across the frontage. There
is only one driveway access that is approximately 55 foot wide into the Builders Masonry
Products parking area. With the current horizontal alignment of the existing water main,
it is quite likely that the extension would be outside of the asphalt of Franklin Rd.. The
granting of this variance requiring the construction of the water main will result in
inhibiting the achievements or the objectives of Ordinance 5-124.
3. That the granting of the specified variance will not be detrimental to the public's welfare or injurious to other
property in the area in which the property is situated, • and
4. That such variance will not have the effect of altering the interest and purpose of this Ordinance and the
Meridian Comprehensive Plan.
• The granting of this variance would go against the purpose of Ordinance 5-124 and the
Meridian Comprehensive Plan. The requirements of Ordinance 5-124 have worked well
since implementation. The City of Meridian hasn't had to bear the cost of main line
extensions that benefit new developments and business. The ones that benefit the most,
are the ones that finance such extensions. Although Builders Masonry wouldn't realize a
great benefit from the City's water system, they would reap the benefits of the City's
sewer system.

REQUEST BY BUILDERS MASONRY.:
Corrie: Did Council all get the copy of Stephanie Churchman's letter along with, she
gave us this afternoon?
Morrow. Mr. Mayor, if we could I would like to have the City Attorney make a brief
comment on the, for the record in terms of conversation that went on between he and
Meridian City Council
March 4, 1997
Page 4
Ms. Churchman that brought us to this point. I guess what it is, by withdrawing in my
minds means is we no longer have a variance issue to deal with nor in terms of our
proposal an agreement that was included within those findings of fact for the
development of those services. Can you take it from there please?
Crookston: Yes I can thank you, the findings of fact and conclusions of law that were
prepared for the City Council and the City Council had as of the last meeting in my
discussions with John Fitzgerald we both agreed that was something that was better
done than granting the variance in any fashion even though you were going to, the
proposal was to condition upon them connecting to the sewer but not connect to the
water immediately. But when the property to the south or to the east needed the water
that then they would have to connect to it so that those properties could have a routing
of that water and sewer to their properties. We re-evaluated the findings of fact and felt
that it was the same kind of situation, nothing had changed factually. We felt that those
were appropriate. We also felt that it would be better rather than have a flat out denial
without any kind of agreement with Builders Masonry and it was my interpretation at the
last meeting that the City desired them to connect to the sewer but not connect to the
water but give. In essence to grant the variance somewhat for not putting it to and
through their property. I felt that the better way to do it was to have an agreement with
them not to do that for a period of time and not grant the variance but just have an
agreement with them that as of a certain date or whenever the City said to do it they
would do it. That is the agreement that I prepared or John Fitzgerald prepared it and I
faxed the findings of fact and conclusions of law and a copy of the proposed agreement
to Stephanie Churchman. I faxed it to her on Friday, I got a call, and I said that I
needed to talk to her about them. She did not return my call until today. In her call
today, this morning she said that she would call back and tell me what they wanted to
do. She called back and I was doing something, I wasn't available when she called at
that time. She said that she would call back at 5:00 and she did and she said, she
faxed me a copy of what you have. She faxed me a copy of that and I looked at it and I
said I needed to ask her what was going on and she called back and said this is what
we want to do. We just want to take it out of the hands of the City and withdraw our
application for the variance. So she had all of the record that you people have now.
Morrow. Question Mr. Mayor, and that means that at the present time they are not
going to be hooking up to the sewer until we hear further notice, the entire issue has
been withdrawn.
Crookston: That is correct, I did not. have a discussion with Mrs. Churchman as to
whether or not the desire to connect later. They said that they have some other options
that they are considering and will be back in touch with the City when they decided
what they were going to do. But I believe at this time that the request or the application
for the variance is withdrawn on their part. If that is the Council's decision that is the
action that you need to take is to accept that withdrawal of the application.

of law. Have either one of you reviewed it from that standpoint to see that the two are in
compliance with each other?
Stiles: Councilman Morrow, Mayor and Council, I haven't specifically looked at these
findings and checked whether it matched those requirements. I don't think there will be
a problem with them making it does make sure it meets those requirements. But I
couldn't tell you right now whether it did or not.
Smith: Same comment for me.
Morrow. That being the case Mr. Mayor, I would itke to move to approve the preliminary
plat for the Lake at Cherry Lane No. 7 by Steiner Development subject to compliance of
that plat with the just adopted findings of fact and conclusions of law for the Lake at
Cherry Lane No. 7.

ITEM #8: FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCWSIONS OF LAW FOR VARIANCE
REQUEST BY BUILDERS MASONRY:
Corrie: Council you have the findings of facts and conclusions of law in front of you,
any corrections, additions or alterations?
Corrie: Stephanie would you like to make a comment?
Churchman: Mr. Mayor and Council, I have a carrection, actually I don't know if that is
proper or not. But I found fault in the findings of fact. It was my understanding that the
Council approved the variance for Builders Masonry Products upon condition that we
monitor the outflows and that also that we agree to connect to the City water in the
future at a future time. That the variance wasn't denied out right. That was just my
understanding and I need clarification on that.
Corrie: I think Stephanie what the Council had meeting with Counselor and what they
have put on the findings of fact and conclusions is based upon what they have come up
and what they feel from the public testimony. So, I guess what they have got down here
is what will have to be. Unless there is any comment from Council, Mr. Rountree?
Rountree: We haven't yet acted on them. But my understanding was that the sewer
hook up was not a variance issue anyway and the metering of that is again not a
Meridian City Council
February 18, 1997
Page 12
variance issue, but that is a condition of hooking up to the sewer. As far as the water
hook up my understanding was that and you concurred that at a future date when water
was extended down Franklin you would then extend which may happen in the very near
future. Having said that I still think that there is no need for a variance. I suppose it is a
matter of timing and I throw that out for discussion. You will have to extend the water
line at a future date.
Churchman: Correct, I guess my question was and I called Counsel today just to clarify
if we could go ahead and hook up to sewer now and at a future date go ahead to hook
up to City water. And my understanding was that it was denied out right that we were
not allowed to hook up to the sewer system at this time period unless we hooked up to
the City water right away. So I guess I need clarification on that.
Morrow. Mr. Mayor, if I might, I think that what we were discussing when we were asked
for in terms of the variance was that you wished to have a variance from the
requirement of taking the water to and through your property. I like Mr. Rountree did not
see that there was any conflict in terms of the sewer line subject to the monitoring
conditions and all of those things that we discussed two weeks ago. It seems to me that
and the other issues that we discussed with respect to the water line at this juncture I
don't really see that a variance does much good because in the short tern you are
going to be totally surrounded by projects and we kind of talked about it, it is going to
be a matter of months before this is going to take place anyway. From my perspective
what I am seeing of these findings and the counselor can correct me is that we are
simply dealing with the variance of the to and through because it doesn't have enough
time to apply. We currently within the system have the property across the street that
we had discussed and I did go look at it, it is directly across the street from you guys.
And then also we talked about the property on the east side that has worked its way
through part of the process already. So in a matter of a few months you are going to be
totally surrounded and carry it through. So I don't see any point in doing the variance
because it is going to have a real short life. So, from my perspective what we are doing
is we are denying the variance of the to and through and let you deal with that issue
with your co -developers that are on the east side and the south side of you and maybe
jointly have an effort there. The second issue is that the sewer thing is worked out with
the City public works department. Now that is as I saw this. I would ask Wayne and
Gary in case I have seen it incorrectly.
Crookston: Mr. Mayor and Councilmen, I drew these on the basis that it was my
understanding that it was a total deny of the variance request and I certainly have to
acknowledge that there was discussion about them hooking up to the water at some
time in my discussion today with Mrs. Churchman she mentioned she thought she had
the right to hook up to the sewer and I said I wasn't real sure about that I looked
through my notes and read some of the minutes and the minutes are not real clear as
to what the Council's decision was. But there was enough comment made during that
hearing as to the possibility that they would have to hook up shortly anyway to the
Meridian City Council
February 18, 1997
Page 13
water and the sewer. That is why the findings of fact and conclusions of law come out
the way they do.
Corrie: Does that answer your question?
Churchman: Yes, I guess what I want to know basically is can we hook up to sewer
tomorrow and wait two or four months down the line to run our line through when that
time comes?
Corrie: That is what I am hearing from Council, Gary?
Smith: Mr. Mayor and Councilmen, it was my understanding there wasn't a problem
with Builders Masonry connecting to the sewer as far as the City is concerned. They
are within the City limits, the sewer is on the other side of Five Mile Creek that is
available for their connection assuming they have permission from the Corp of
Engineers to cross Five Mile Creek. It was my understanding that the issue concerned
the ordinance requirement for a property within the city limits that is within 300 feet of a
sewer or water line to connect, that is a requirement by the ordinance to connect. That
was my understanding of why the variance was being requested for not connecting to
the water line. As part of that discussion then the extension of the water line across the
frontage of the property came up. There was discussion concerning a sharing of cost
with the installation of the water line with the property to the south that is in the process
of being developed. There was discussion concerning extension of the water line as
construction to the east took place which is also in the process. But I thought the issue
was whether or not that section of the ordinance requiring connection to the water line
was to be upheld or was to be varied. Because the water line is at the southwest
corner of the Builders Masonry Products which is the southeast comer of the Meridian
Business and Industrial Park. (End of Tape) connect to the sewer should they also be
required to connect to the water.
Corrie: So I still don't think you have your answer.
Rountree: (Inaudible)
Morrow. I think that from my perspective as point of discussion is and that Gary is
correct his point is well made, we do have the two issues with the ordinance to deal
with. I guess that being the case, these in my mind these findings don't get us to where
I want us to go to from my perspective. I want to see the sewer thing hooked up
immediately or as quickly as possible. That does mean with respect to the ordinance
that we do need to vary those two things in terms of the immediate water hook up and
we need vary the to and through is that correct Counselor?
Meridian City Council
February 18, 1997
Page 14
Crookston: You would have to grant the variance. As far as the sewer is concerned
whether or not you want to grant it for the water I have no idea. But if they are not going
to connect to the sewer.
Rountree: No, they are going to hook to the sewer.
Morrow: The issue is that we are trying to get, at least from my perspective and if the
Council concurs we are trying to get to the point of where we are allowing the
connection to the sewer to take place immediately. And then we are delaying the
connection to the water and the to and through the property for a short period of time in
the near term to allow these other things to go on.
Crookston: You still need to deal with both the water and the sewer requirement to go
to and through.
Corrie: So we are going to need new facts and findings.
Morrow. From my perspective Mr. Mayor for point of discussion I can't support the
findings of fact as they are written.
Bentley: Mr. Mayor, I would agree with that, I think we are going to have to modify these
to make them more (inaudible)
Rountree: Well apparently we are going to have to modify them but it would be nice to
get it clear what the modification is going to be. I think there are three points, one, to
allow connection to the sewer and that connection be metered if I was understanding
correct. Two, that there be some kind of sunseted variance for the connection to City
water and likewise for the through and to extension on the water line conditioned on the
development of the adjacent properties. Is that where we are trying to go? Does that
help?
Churchman: Yes
Morrow. Mr. Morrow, that being the case I would move that instruct the City Attorney to
prepare new findings of fact and conclusions of law for the variance requested by
Builders Masonry.
Rountree: Second
Corrie: Motion made by Mr. Morrow, second by Mr. Rountree to instruct the City
Counselor to draw up new findings of fact and conclusions of law as presented by
Council, any further discussion?
Meridian City Council

Bentley: So we don't have to go through this again next time, what time frame are we
looking at for the sunset?
Morrow. Well I would think, I want to think it through a little bit and talk to Wayne about
it. It seems to me like the sunset clause has got to have something that discusses the
hook ups being in a timely manner with the two projects that we are dealing with now. I
do not want Builders Masonry to hold either one of those projects hostage nor do I want
those projects to hold Builders Masonry hostage. So whatever verbiage it takes to get
to that point is how we have to get there.

question and item that they brought forward.
Corrie: Shari did you get a copy of that, did Council get copies of it?
Morrow. So far I haven't found it in my packet.
Rountree: Did you get confirmation on your fax?
Bowcutt: Yes 1 did, I called, I got confirmation. l was kind of late in faxing it, I have been
out. I kind had what Mr. Crookston has, we have the same voice. It was faxed to my
office on Friday, I was out ill on Friday, Monday was a holiday, I called and talked with
Shari today and she faxed it to me immediately when we realized I didn't have it. And
then I answered it, so I was late in getting my response to the City Engineer's office. If
you would like to me to go through these I can address them quickly.
Corrie: Council, what is your pleasure, do you want her to go through them?
Morrow. Well I guess, these are technical issues that our staff needs to deal with. My
preference would be to have their concurrence and have them review it and say okay it

Morrow. No, the issue is that it requires a building permit to start the project. The
building permit can be obtained prior to the final plat being recorded by virtue of the
streets being in and the scenario that Gary painted for us. But in any event they -require
that the building permit at final plat date and they have got 90 days to construct their
club house and pool and if not then the bond becomes collectible on the part of the
City.

TEN MINUTE BREAK
ITEM #7: PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR A VALIANCE BY BUILDERS
MASONRY PRODUCTS:
Corrie: I will open the public hearing at this time and invite the member of the Builders
Masonry Products to come forward.
Stephanie Churchman, 1300 East Franklin Road, Meridian, was sworn by the City
Attorney.
Churchman: Builders Masonry Products is requesting a variance from the to and
through ordinance. I have reviewed the comments submitted by the Meridian sewer
department, the Meridian public works department and Properties West and have
addressed each concern below. I will give you a copy of this when I am finished. For
the Meridian sewer department to hook up to the sewer system we understand and are
in agreement to pre -treat the processed water before discharging to the sewer. An oil
separator tank will be utilized in according with the City of Meridian pre-treatment
personnel. With the Meridian public works department in reference to the sewer main
installation in 1995 as part of the Five Mile Trunk Line extension to St. Luke's the
Meridian public works department stated, "The applicant did not participate in the cost
of the extension nor were they willing to aid in routing." From their comment the
Meridian public works department implies we should have participated in the cost of
this extension. This comes as a surprise to us. Builders Masonry Products was never
notified of a requirement to participate in the cost for the sewer extension. Builders
Masonry Products representatives also met many times with consultants retained by St.
Luke's and with the former Mayor Grant Kingsford to find the best possible solution.
During one of our first meetings a consultant suggested running the sewer line directly
across our property under the asphalt. After much discussion re agreed to this if the
construction could be finished before the beginning of our busy season. They stated
that this could not be accomplished within the set time frame. This project would have
Meridian City Council
February 4, 1997
Page 27
been extremely disruptive to our business. Apparently the consultants agreed and
rerouted the sewer line. Builders Masonry Products also feels the coordination of the
prior sewer line installation should have no bearing on the approval of this variance.
Meridian public works suggests that we be allowed tD continue the use of the existing
well for the protection of Masonry Products only and that we convert the
office/warehouse and block plant areas to the City water system. Under this application
for variance our plan was to have the office/warehouse area remain on well water and
its existing septic system. Builders Masonry Products would make a decision to
connect to the city water and sewer system for the office/warehouse area at a later time
if that need exists. Demanding that we hook up to the city water when we already have
an existing well for our facility is unreasonable and puts and undue financial burden on
Builders Masonry Products for services that are not needed at this time. Their final
statement, "Although Builders Masonry Products wouldn't realize a great benefit from
the City's water system they would reap the benefits of the city sewer system" is
accurate and the very reason that we are requesting a variance. By connecting to the
sewer system we would be able to wash our trucks on site and discharge processed
water through the sewer system. The alternative would be to design a treatment and
disposable system on site. There would be no benefit for Builders Masonry Products to
extend the water main across the property since we already have an existing on site
potable water well that is in good operation and which capital investments have already
been made. For Properties West Inc., Builders Masonry Products has already stated
that the hook up to the city water is unnecessary for purposes at this time. I can give
you a copy of this.
Corrie: Council, any comments or questions of Stephanie? Thank you, is there anyone
else from the public that would like to issue testimony on this variance request?
Hearing none, Council, question or discussion?
Morrow. Just a question, the letter from Properties West that will be entered into the
public record.
Corrie: Any further comments or questions? I will close the public hearing, Council?
Morrow: Mr. Mayor, I would like to have Gary Smith's comments with respect to this
project.
Smith: Mr. Mayor and Council, the request was to hook to the sewer only I believe.
Our concerns in the past in particular where just a request for sewer is made is how do
we monitor the amount of material entering our sewer, quantity wise. I think in this
particular case we suggested that they connect at least part of this facility to the water
system. Because of the ordinance requirements that are in existence today that permit
the City Council to require a development or a property that is within 300 feet of a City
facility to connect within 15 days after notice. That is part of the ordinance. We don't
have a problem with them using their well for their production water. I don't know how
Meridian City Council •
February 4, 1997
Page 28
much water they use, maybe they can give us some indication. But, under our present
water demand for the City I would make the same statement, I don't remember who it
was recently that was requesting to utilize or to connect to City Water, Mountain View
Equipment wanted to utilize city water for only fire protection because they had an on
site well and I didn't have a problem with that particular r6quest. They are in the
County.
Morrow. Mr. Morrow, question Gary, I have worked on industrial projects where on the
project by virtue of the special circumstances there was.a flow meter station within the
sewer line that monitored the actual flow or the out flow from the industrial entity and
then they were billed according to that actual flow in that flow meter station and it is
recorded 24 hours a day. Do we have provision in our ordinance to allow for that type
of station?
Smith: I don't think our ordinance is specific to the type of monitoring that would be
installed but there are electronic devices that are available to monitor flow on a
recorder.
Morrow. And that would be maintained by the owner and read by the city if it is a
normal application.
Smith: We would have to make a provision, we don't have one of those in the system at
this point, none exists. So I am a little bit ignorant as to what that will actually be, what
that piece of equipment looks like and how often we would have to physically read it,
remove charts or whatever it might be. But I am sure that equipment is available.
Morrow. I have actually worked on projects with those and it is readily available and the
system seems to work pretty well, I think as we develop more of an industrial base we
will have more of those site specific things if we want to have in position including pre-
treatment and those other kinds of things that are designed specifically for a user. If
this is a case for that.
Smith: If we don't have a water metering device available that is correct. Water
coming through a meter that we can relate to what is going into the sewer.
Rountree: Question for Mr. Smith, do we have any numbers that relate to capacity
demand from this user and the type of discharge that we would be receiving?
Smith: No I don't.
Churchman: According to your question we have our engineer that is representing us
from Century West he can address that question if the Council allows?
Corrie: Do I need to open the public hearing back up?
Meridian City Council
February 4, 1997
Page 29
Crookston: Yes
Corrie: I will open the public hearing back up.
John Schwartz, 5257 Fairview, Boise, was sworn by the City Attorney.
Schwartz: There are a couple of things that 1 would like to mention and this is my
discussion with the folks over at the sewer district. I understand what Gary's concern
is, I was led to believe that the time that there were other ways to quantify the flows that
are actually going to the treatment system. One would be to give our best estimate as
to how much water was being generated from the industrial processes and also from
the wash racks and so forth and take an average that way and be billed on that type of
basis. There is the other mechanism that you mentioned that we could put in a flow
meter that would measure the depth of flow over time and from that you could calculate
the volume that would be going out through the lines as well. My concern is additional
to that and you folks have this drawing in your package. The building that we are
looking at hooking up to is the block plant building which is probably 500 to 600 feet
south of where the main line runs across Franklin. The Masonry Builders Center at this
point is not looking at the option of wanting to hook up the building that is up front
which is where the warehouse and office facilities are located. So to best serve their
needs it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to be running that water line through the full
length of their property and then have to run a 500 to 600 feet to the south to run down
to that block plant because they want to run a sewer line to that particular facility. The
sewer line itself runs if you will to the east or to the right side of that page or down
along where that description of basin two is. It is about a 400 to 500 foot run to make
that connection to the building. Again to make the requirement to run that water across
the full length of the facility and then all the way into the block plant to accommodate
relatively small flows I think is a pretty heavy requirement on that. The estimated flows
are probably going to be maybe on the order of, well they have three drains into the
cure room that they want to connect and then they have to deal with the wash area. So
at best you are probably going to be looking at maybe 15 to 20 gallons an hour going
into that facility. I am not sure if that addresses all of your questions on volumes. So
the flows themselves are pretty insignificant it is just the issue that they want to use the
vehicle was rack which is shown here on that drawing as well as run some other
industrial drains into the system. In my mind I think it would be best served to allow us
to estimate the flows to the system. I know it is easy to say we have a connection to the
potable water line and you can put a flow meter on it. In this particular application you
have a block plant that is using a lot of water into the process of batching of concrete
and so forth. To be using a flow meter on the supply lines to calculate the usage of the
sewer lines I think would be a major injustice as far as the actual quantity of water
going back to the sewer system. So either a flow meter in line or estimating the
quantities per month that would be agreeable to the sewer district I think would be the
best approach for the client.
Meridian City Council
February 4, 1997
Page 30
Morrow. Mr. Mayor may I respond, the concept Mr. Schwartz in terms of the flow meter
was on the sewer line not on the supply line. The flow meters that I am familiar with are
actually on the sewer line.
Schwartz: I understand that, but I believe Mr. Smith's comment was if you monitor the
flow going into the facility then you charge that for the flow going out of the facility on
the sewer lines, do I understand that statement?
Smith: That is correct, that is what our ordinance requires on a commercial business.
Schwartz: 1 don't think that is really represented here, it is not as if all of the water
(inaudible) where they are going into a sanitary rest room facility where the water in
pretty much matches the water going out that really doesn't apply here.
Morrow. Well to take the point to clarify it a little bit more far you and my reason for
discussing industrial uses and the need for us to begin to look into discharge flow
meters is that in certain processing facilities they supply themselves with clean water
which is well water and then they discharge major volumes of water into the sewer
system and a city has now way of monitoring that except by virtue of a flow meter on
the sewer line discharge side. What I am suggesting to you here is that you have the
reverse where you use a lot of water if it were supplied by the City to use that water
usage a means of calculating your sewage uses would be unfair. So in this case and in
the former example flow meters on the sewage discharge side or the best and fairest
way of monitoring that usage.
Schwartz: I agree to that approach but I think to take it a step further to require a client
to comply with the to and through policy and run a water line for the full length of their
property because they want to make a connection to the sewer system when they are
willing to pay a hook up fee of $6000 to $7000 to make the connection to the line to
defray the cost of running the line and building the facilities. In addition to that to run
the line through the property and make them hook up to it when they don't need to I
think is a little excessive.
Morrow. Another comment Mr. Mayor, I think ultimately Mr. Schwartz for purposes of
corporate planning the realities are that is going to happen before very long given what
we are seeing going on in the sewage treatment business. The days of individual septic
systems and those types of things are rapidly coming to close and I think that the issue
here is that if it is not required at this time it will be soon so you need to adjust your
plans accordingly. The two and through policy is a fair policy for land owners on down
to develop. The question is that if it is paid for by somebody else then at such point in
time when this facility hooks onto that water supply which is coming then they are
unfairly enriched at somebody else's expense and I don't think this Council or future
Meridian City Council
February 4, 1997
Page 31
Council's is going to allow that to happen. So it is a question of timing as to what it is
you are going to pay is what it boils down to.
Schwartz: Well I worked on a similar project up in Idaho Falls, not to bring another
project into this scenario, it was that same type of a situation where the City of Idaho
Falls was requesting a client to bring a line up through the full length of their property
which amounted to probably '/ of a mile, it was probably an $80,000 installation and
they only wanted to install a fire hydrant to protect one of the petroleum tanks. The City
did give them a waiver saying it wasn't necessary to run the line for the full length of the
property because it wasn't really that much of a beneficial use for the people on
through on the other side of the property at that time. So it seems to me that there may
be some flexibility here to either delay the requirement or to waive it altogether and
that is what Builders Masonry Center is (inaudible).
Morrow. I have no more questions Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Council, any further questions or discussions?
Rountree: I just have a clarification I guess 1 need from Council. It seems to me that
what is being asked for is only one part of the equation, a variance to hook up to the
sewer. It seems to me that there also needs to be a variance to our existing ordinance
at that their request to not hook up with City water. Isn't that a requirement of our
ordinance that they do that?
Crookston: If they are within 300 feet of city water they are required to hook up to both
sewer and water under our ordinance.
Rountree: And that is the case?
Smith: Yes sir.
Morrow. Did I understand you Mr. Smith that the water is at their western boundary.
Smith: Yes
Morrow. So to follow up on Councilman Rountreers point, are we short a variance here
Counselor or is this variance (inaudible) asking for both?
Corrie: Well they are requesting a variance W. Morrow from the to and through
ordinance.
Rountree: That is the request for the variance?
Morrow. For the water
Meridian City Council
February 4, 1997
Page 32
Corrie: For the water, and then they are asking for variance that they don't have to
hook up to the water, but they want to hook up to the sewer. That would not be a
variance. But they don't want to do the to and through nor do they want to hook up to
the water, is that correct?
Crookston: The to and through is in both the sewer ordinance and the water ordinance.
Corrie: So then counselor, if I am not mistaken they would have to get a variance both
ways?
Crookston: That is correct if they are within the 300 feet.
Corrie: Which they are.
Smith: Mr. Mayor, the sewer is already existing along their east boundary. So their only
involvement in the sewer would be to construct the service line from their facility to the
interceptor. So it is to and through on the water is the variance request.
Morrow. And the requirement to hook up to water, it is two fold right? To and through
and hook up.
Smith: Correct. The connection to the sewer line is going to require crossing Five Mile
Creek I believe that is going to require a corp. of engineers permit. I would also
respectfully request that a metering device be required to measure the discharge to the
sewer. And that our comments from our Waste Water Superintendent be required as
part of the agreement if that is agreed to.
Corrie: 1 have a question Counsel, if we have a development on the east side of this
development, who puts in the water line to those people?
Crookston: It depends on where the necessary flow would have to come from. It would
be, if they put it to and through their property to the water and it goes to the edge of
their line to service property to the east of their property the developer of that property
has to pay for it.
Corrie: If we give them the variance then the person that wants to develop next to them
do we come back on the property owner of Masonry and they have to put that to and
through at that time to extend water to those people so they can have water and sewer.
(inaudible).
Crookston: I believe that would have to be part of the agreement if that was granted.
That should be part of the variance or conditions (inaudible).
Meridian City Council

Morrow. Mr. Mayor, as a point of follow up, if memory serves me there is a development
application before us now for the property immediately on the east side.
Corrie: That was my point.
Morrow. It is for that 40 acre parcel and we have approved I believe the first phase of
that or are in the process of approving that first phase plat which is the northeast corner
of that 40 acres that currently borders what is now called Locust Grove. Gary on that
proposal where is their water coming from, do you remember? I don't remember, the
presentation?
Smith: The Tamura Berry project, that is coming off of Lanark and Locust Grove
extension of that water line for that first phase. Eventually it would be extended down
Locust Grove and Franklin and then west along Franklin.
Morrow. To create the loop.
Smith: Correct
Rountree: So this would be the completion of the loop?
Smith: Yes
Rountree: Could that be a condition of the variance.
Morrow. Well I think in terms of the variance is .yes it will probably be a condition of the
variance but we are talking a matter of months here not years.
Bentley: Mr. Mayor, in our packets there are comments from Chief Bowers on this
issue, it states that we need this line to run and tie into the loop system to get the water
flows brought up and in other areas. Plus we need the fire hydrant. So this line is going
to have to be put in soon.
Corrie: Are you following what we are saying here. If you are ready to make a motion
then I will close the public hearing.
Churchman: There is also another development that we have, I think it is Properties
West who is directly across, the street from us on Franklin to the South of us, and I
don't know how far along they are in their development process. But that would close
the loop and there are options there that down the road could share the cost in an
equitable manner.
Corrie: Would that work Gary?

Smith: Yes
Morrow: Question Gary, does the Properties West proposal project go that far west, I
thought the Properties West proposal was primarily the property on top of the hill to the
east of this site.
Smith: I think without a map in front of me I think it is just about directly south of
Marketplace.
Morrow: (Inaudible) part of the cemetery and a couple of hick houses and then the
property west property?
Smith: The houses I think are mostly across the street from the industrial park, Meridian
Industrial Park. I think that Barnes' project is just about straight across the street from
Builders Marketplace.
Morrow.. To go back and revisit this, on the corner, the 40 acre parcel of the original
parcel that McClure's had is on the corner of the southwest comer of Locust Grove and
Franklin Road. Now the five acre portion or whatever it is that is actually that comer is
not part of the Barnes proposal.
Smith: That is correct
Morrow. Then what happens is that essentially that proposal is the property on top of
the hill, right?
Smith: There is a narrow little strip between the five acre that. McClure owns and I think
the beginning of the Barnes piece which pushes it farther to the west.
Morrow. But the properties west proposal has the obligation to take the line to and
through his property and his property is not in common or is in common with part of the
Builders Masonry property.
Smith: I think it is pretty close to being straight across, south. That is what Stephanie
said that cost could be shared between the two properties. I don't recall where Mr.
Barnes is in his proposal.
Morrow. He is in P & Z somewhere.
Smith: I don't know how fast the phasing of the Tamura -Bevy project is going to move
forward, it has been quite a while getting through this first phase I know that. It could
be awhile before Tamura -Berry makes the corner on Locust Grove and Franklin and
heads west. I just don't know what their schedule is.

Morrow: Well the loop system that Chief Bowers refers to doesn't occur until that turns
the corner and gets to the west in any event.
Rountree: You can close the hearing as far as I am concerned.
Corrie: 1 don't know what is going on down at the end there but we will go ahead, I will
close the public hearing. I guess we can entertain a motion for findings of fact or any
further discussions, it is entirely up to you.
Morrow. I guess for point of discussion to give the owner from my perspective where I
see this thing going is that I do see a flow meter flow station mandatory to monitor the
flow so it is both fair to the City and to the owners. I do see if a variance is to be
granted from my perspective the requirement when the water line needs to be put in it
gets put in and it doesn't hold up anybody because development is well underway in
that particular area. I think those things need to be addressed so the delay is
(inaudible). That is my position.
Corrie: Any further comment of Council?
Rountree: I would agree with that summation if we were to act favorably on the variance
request those would be the minimum conditions.
Morrow. Mr. Mayor with that, I would moue to that we instruct the City Attorney to
prepare findings of fact and conclusions for the variance requested by Builders
Masonry Products.
Rountree: Second
Corrie: Motion made by Mr. Morrow, second by Mr. Rountree to direct the City Attorney
to draw up findings of fact and conclusions of law for the variance request by Builders
Masonry Products, any further discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor?
Opposed?
MOTION CARRIED: AII.Yea
ITEM #8: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A TAEKWANDO SCHOOL BY JOHN
AND BECKY SCHIEBOUT:
Corrie: Would John or Becky or their representative come up first. Is there anybody
from the Taekwando School here?
Morrow. Mr. Mayor that being the case I would move that we table to our meeting
February 18.

Re: Request for Variance (Item #7)
Builders Masonry Products is requesting a variance from the "to and through"
ordinance. I have reviewed the comments submitted by the Meridian Sewer Department,
the Meridian Public Works Department, and Properties West, Inc. and have addressed
each concern below.
Meridian Sewer Department:
1. To hook up to the sewer system, we understand and are in agreement to pretreat the
processed water before discharging to the sewer. An oil separator tank will be utilized in
accordance with the City of Meridian pretreatment personnel.
Meridian Public Works Department:
1. In reference to the sewer main installation in 1995 as part of the Five Mile trunk line
extension to St. Lukes, the Meridian Public Works Department stated, "The applicant did
not participate in the cost of the extension nor were they willing to aid in routing."
From their comment, the Meridian Public Works Department implies we should have
participated in the cost of the extension. This comes as a surprise to us. Builders
Masonry Products was never notified of a requirement to participate in the cost for this
sewer extension.
Builders Masonry Products representatives also met many times with consultants retained
by St. Lukes and with the former Mayor Grant Kingsford to find the best possible
solution. During one of our first meetings, the consultants suggested running the sewer
line directly across our property under the asphalt. After much discussion, we agreed to
this if the construction could be finished before the beginning of our busy season. They
stated this could not be accomplished within the set time frame. This project would have
been extremely disruptive to our business. Apparently the consultants agreed, and
rerouted the sewer line.
1300E. FRANKLIN ROAD • MERIDIAN, IDAHO 83642 • (208)888-4050
•
Page 2
2. Builders Masonry Products also feels the coordination of the prior sewer line
installation should have no bearing on the approval of this variance.
3. Meridian Public Works suggests that we be allowed to continue the use of the existing
well for the production of masonry products only, and that we convert the
office/warehouse and block plant to the city water system.
Under this application for variance, our plan was to have the officelwarehouse area
remain on well water and its existing septic system. Builders Masonry Products would
make a decision to connect to city water and to the sewer system for the officetwarehouse
area at a later time if the need exists. Demanding that we hook up to the city water when
we already have an existing well for our facility is unreasonable and puts an undue
financial burden on Builders Masonry Products for services that are not needed at this
time.
4. Their final statement, "Although Builders Masonry Products wouldn't realize a great
benefit from the City's water system, they would reap the benefits of the City's sewer
system" is accurate and the reason we are requesting a variance. By connecting to the
sewer system we would be able to wash our trucks on site and discharge processed water
through the sewer system. The alternative would be to design a treatment and disposable
system on site There would be no benefit for Builders Masonry Products to extend the
water main across the property since we already have an existing on-site potable water
well that is in good operation and for which capital investments have already been made.
Properties West, Inc.
1. Builders Masonry Products has already stated that the hook up to city water is
unnecessary for our purposes at this time.

RE: Variance hearing/February 4, 1997/Builders Masonry Products
Dear Sirs:
I would like to submit this letter as written testimony to be
considered by the City Council in the matter of the request for a
variance to waive a water line extension, fronting 1300 East
Franklin Road.
As a neighboring property owner and developer, I am not in favor of
nor can I support Builders Masonry Products request for said
variance. As a local developer I have always been required to
extend services, i.e. water and sewer, as a condition of approval,
to any project that I have undertaken. The "Notice of Hearing"
for this meeting did not mention sewer line. Does that indicate
that they are extending the sewer? If not, why not?
Currently I am beginning the development process on property
directly across from Builders Masonry Products on East Franklin
Road. Extension of the sewer and water services will certainly be
conditions of approval for my development and it would be onerous
and unfair to grant Builders Masonry Products a variance of this
standard condition and subsequently require Properties West Inc. to
stand the entire cost of extending these services.
Therefore, I respectfully request denial of this variance request.
If you would like to speak to me for clarification or if you have
any questions please don't hesitate to contact me.
