Meridian Development Corporation (MDC) Quarterly Update De Weerd: Under Item 6, Community Items, Item 6-A is our Meridian Development Corporation. Thank you for joining us, Ashley. Ford: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, thank you for having me this evening. Just for the record, I'm Ashley Ford. I'm the administrator of Meridian Development Corporation. Office address is 33 East Broadway here in Meridian. At the request of Councilman Bird, who is, as you know, one of our board members, he had requested Meridian City Council February 21, 2012 Page 4 of 18 that I come up and -- on a quarterly basis give you all an update on the activities that we are doing as part of MDC and answer any questions you all may have of us. So, if there is not any questions to begin with, I will just kind of run through what I think are our top priorities right now and kind of give you a brief summary and give you an opportunity to ask any questions and I realize I'm really out of practice at this. It's making me a little nervous tonight. De Weerd: Don't worry. Bird: We don't bite. Ford: I know. I know. It's like -it's been a little while. So, our top priority over this last year, as you all know, has been our new COMPASS -Valley Regional Transit building and I am so happy to say that we believe tomorrow, knocking on wood, will be the day that out plot reports for the condo plat, so we are very excited about that, which will allow us to execute our purchase and sale agreement with both of the agencies. We are working through external punch list items right now with the general contractor. Eventually everything will be completed, except for the landscaping, which, of course, we will need to wait for the water and for spring to absolutely get here. So, very excited about this. It's a great three-way public partnership. Both of the tenants ,.are. currently in place, so far so good. $o, very excited about that. The second item... that's been taking a lot of our time recently has been the ground floor. You may or may not be aware that we recently relocated from a space that we were leasing over on Idaho Street to the -- what was the old Farmers and Merchants building over -just across the street on the corner of Main and Broadway. We relocated at the beginning of December and one of the main reasons why we did is, one, this is a building that we own, so it does make some fiscal sense. And, two, one of the things that we were hearing was the fact that the ground floor in the previous location did not have the availability for some office space and so -- private offices. And so that was one of the things for consideration that our committee took to the board and the board agreed that the relocation seemed to make a whole lot of sense. We are currently working with a citizens task force right now. We had heard some concerns from different business owners that there is a perception that we are competing with different business owners who owned buildings in the downtown core. I'm very happy to say -- and we haven't even given our board the update -- but we had our first meeting last week and I think everything is pretty smooth at this point. And we are actually looking at some good community partnerships and being able to -- when our tenants get to the point where they are ready to move up and find real -real office space for their businesses, being able to, you know, refer them to different locations. So, very excited about that as well. Another item that has been taking a lot of our time has been the corridor. Obviously, the city has been partner in this. Our portion of this is the lighting design and so we have been taking a very hard look at that lighting plan, trying to find financing options for this, because, obviously, that's a pretty big price tag. So, we have been - we have been having a number of conversations and also been working with ACHD and the city on a public involvement plan that we will be rolling out in the next couple of months as well, too. So, we are all looking at how we can each take an active part in making sure Meridian City Council February 21, 2012 Page 5 of 18 that the public is staying completely informed on this project. Obviously, it will have a pretty large impact on these businesses and so we want to do everything we can to keep them up to speed and to be able to help them out during this time. So, we think that's important. Another big initiative that we have been undertaking over the last year is downtown parking. And this comes as a result of some concerns that we heard from those particularly in our core, mostly in regards to locating doesn't seem necessary -- excuse me -and, essentially, building owners concerns that they don't have enough employee parking, et cetera. So, one of the things that we have done is we have had a committee that has been looking into the business owners and conducting interviews throughout the last few months. And, essentially, making recommendations. This has gone out to public comment and, in fact, I believe a letter was actually put in the Valley Times for this week for comments as well. So, hopefully, within the next couple of weeks we are going to have these recommendations implemented and, hopefully, this shows some good will to the business owners. So, that, in a nutshell, has been all our largest priority areas. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have. Bird: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Bird. Bird: I don't have a question, but moving over to the new ground floor, we -- Ashley now has a present office, actually, in downtown Meridian, which she will man at certain hours so people can come in and talk to her face to face. Am I not right? Ford: Yes, sir. I have -- as of February 15t I left the consulting firm that I was working for and have gone out on my own, which has allowed me the capability to dedicate my efforts to Meridian Development Corporation full time. And with that I have the capability of being in the business incubator a certain number of hours a week and right now anticipating being there between 30, 35 hours a week. You know, obviously, there is meetings outside of the building, but certainly we will have a presence in Meridian. The reason why I did this was my heart is here. I love this community and I think we are doing some really groundbreaking things here and we have a lot of capabilities and so it's really important for me that I am able to serve the people that need it most and have a presence here and so looking forward to seeing them across the street. De Weerd: And so now you need to give us the right address on Main Street, because I was thinking that 33 East Broadway sounded familiar. Ford: That's our actual mail boxes. De Weerd: Any other questions from Council? Rountree: Madam Mayor, just a comment. Ashley, thank you for being here. It's something that I requested that we get more involvement from MDC and I appreciate Meridian City Council February 21, 2012 Page 6 of 18 the update and the good work. I have been in the new building. It's a nice building. It seems to accommodate the tenants pretty well and like any new building there are a few glitches and, hopefully, they get resolved and the tenants will be even more comfortable. But thanks for the work and thanks for the report. Ford: Absolutely. Absolutely. And certainly anytime there is any concerns, any questions you may have in regards to the efforts that we are undertaking, obviously, I know you have some in Councilman Bird, but, you know, if you just want to have a conversation my door is always open and I call me at anytime, so -- De Weerd: Thank you. Anything further from Council? Bird: Thank you. Zaremba: Just thank you. Ford: Thank you so much. B. Resolution 12-841 -Medal of Honor De Weerd: We appreciate you being here.. Item 6,B is a Resolution.12-841 regarding the Medal of Honor. I will turn this over to Councilman Hoaglun: Hoaglun: Thank you, Madam Mayor. Appreciate Council members adding this to the agenda tonight. I don't know if you have paid attention in the Idaho legislature, the House and the Senate this week just approved a similar resolution asking the President to consider a Meridian resident, Sergeant Chris Tschida for the Medal of Honor. And this is for activities that occurred back in 2005 and so far he's received a Purple Heart and no other consideration for his actions, which are quite heroic. He was in a tank patrolling an area and insurgents were able to drop two grenades into the tank -fragmentation grenades, and he took one of them and threw it into -- got it into the tank breach to keep it from blowing everywhere, but he lost his left hand during that process and the other one exploded inside the tank and knocked everybody out. He came to, he was -- with hand he was able to get two of the people out, the lieutenant and the other person and at the same time he came under attack and was able to ward off that attack and through the process of getting the driver back to some state of ability to run the tank, was able to get the tank out of harm's way and get them back to base and with no loss of life and that's a very sanitized version of events of that -- that period of time. And this young man is now retired, lives here in Meridian, and through efforts by people at the VA hospital recognize the heroism that he accomplished and, of course, these folks -these young men and women say they are just doing their job, when, in fact, they are doing more than just a job and we appreciate that. So, there has been an effort -- the congressional delegation, the governor, the legislature, have all been doing letters and preparing a packet to send back to Washington D.C. and we have been asked to do a resolution to -- recognizing his efforts and supporting that -- the President look at Chris Tschida receiving the Meridian City Council February 21, 2012 Page 7 of 18 Medal of Honor. Now, it could be maybe you have -what the qualifications are may or may not -- to me certainly meets the qualifications, but there are also some other awards out there, the distinguished service cross, a silver star, that he certainly would - is worthy of, but we think it's appropriate. I think it's appropriate that this come forward from the Meridian Council, since he is a resident of Meridian - to say, yes, Mr. President, please take a look at this and consider the record. There is a lot that goes through and it's a lengthy process. The witnesses, the people who were there, will - are providing their testimony to the events of that day, commanding officers and so forth. So, it's going to be a very complete packet that gets forwarded to Washington D.C. I think it would be good if his now home down would also be in support of him receiving that recognition due him, so that is what Resolution 12-841 is about and I hope everyone concurs. De Weerd: Thank you, Council Hoaglun. residents. We have many veterans that appreciate his valor. It is an honor to have him as one of our live in our community and we certainly Zaremba: Madam Mayo? De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Zaremba. Zaremba: I would add as a veteran myself - and I must admit I was never shot at, but has a veteran myself - so I am fully in support of that and, actually, although it would be a resolution with only the Mayor's signature, I would ask if it would be possible to have the entire Council sign it. I would like to sign it. De Weerd: Absolutely. Zaremba: If that's something we could do. De Weerd: Uh-huh. Zaremba: Thank you. De Weerd: Okay. Do I have a motion? Bird: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Bird. Bird: I move that we approve Resolution 12-841. Zaremba: Second. De Weerd: I have a motion and a second. Madam Clerk, will you, please, call roll. Meridian City Council February 21, 2012 Page 6 of 18 Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Zaremba, yea; Hoaglun, yea. De Weerd: All ayes. Motion carries. Thank you, Council. Thank you, Mr. Hoaglun. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Item 7: Items Moved From Consent Agenda De Weerd: There were no items moved from the Consent Agenda. Item 8: Action Items A. Public Hearing: CPAM 11-003 Gibson Comprehensive Plan Amendment by Sable, LLC Located South of E. Fairview Avenue, East of Venture Street, on East Side of N. Mount Hood Avenue Request: Amendment to the Comprehensive Plan to Remove Property from the Future Land Use Map and the Area of City Impact De Weerd: So, we will move to Item No. 8. Item 8-A is CPAM 11-003. I will open this ,public hearing with staff comments. Friedman: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. If you will recall last October the city received a request from Mr. Kim Gibson, who owns property both -- located both in the City of Meridian and, then, a smaller piece located in our area of city impact. It is still unincorporated in our area of city impact, although this property in Boise is in the Boise city limits. The city of Boise was right in the process of adopting the Comprehensive Plan at that time and Mr. Gibson requested that it be removed from our area of city impact to allow the property to be included in the city of Boise's Comprehensive Plan. The Council was amenable to that request, but did require that Mr. Gibson go through the Comprehensive Plan amendment process to actually have it removed from our Comprehensive Plan and our area of city impact. Mr. Gibson did apply for that permission. He did have a public hearing before the Planning and Zoning Commission. That Commission did review his request and his recommended approval to you. The applicant's representative Mr. Oliver spoke in favor of the request. There was nobody there in opposition or commenting and Mr. Oliver was in agreement with the staff report at that time. It comes to you tonight with a favorable recommendation from the Planning Commission. Mr. Oliver was here earlier, he was going to testify, but he also indicated to me that he has family arriving at the airport and he needed to be home for dinner as quickly as possible. He is in agreement and I said I would take responsibility for conveying his agreement to the Council. So, he is in agreement with it. The Commission did not add any additional conditions and I think if there is anybody here interested in this -- there is no development proposed at this time, it's merely taking this property out of the area of city impact for the City of Meridian, consolidating it with the city of Boise and at such time as Mr. Gibson or a future owner decides to do something, they will go through the city of Boise land use Meridian City Council February 21, 2012 Page 9 of 18 review process and, of course, we will be notified and have an opportunity to comment. So, with that I would be happy to answer any questions. The last remaining part of this process will be to negotiate our area of city impact agreement with Ada county and what we plan on doing is concluding the south Meridian future land use map amendment process, which kicks off tomorrow night. Once that process is completed and a preferred alternative has been reviewed by the Planning Commission approved by City Council, we will package that, this, and any other amendments we have or any other items - I mean we may wish to renegotiate and move into the county as a package at that time. Rountree: Very good. De Weerd: Thank you, Pete. Any questions from Council? Bird: I have none. Rountree: None. De Weerd: Okay. This is a public hearing. Is there any member who would like to provide testimony on this item? Rountree: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Rountree. Rountree: Seeing no one wishing to testify, I'm move that we close the public hearing on Item 8-A. Zaremba: Second. De Weerd: I have a motion and a second to close the public hearing on 8-A. All those in favor say aye. All ayes. Motion carries. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Rountree: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Rountree. Rountree: I move that we approve Item 8-A. EPAM 11-003 for Gibson Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Bird: Second. De Weerd: I have a motion and a second to approve 8-A. Any discussion by Council? Meridian City Council February 21, 2012 Page 10 of 18 Rountree: I have none. De Weerd: Madam Clerk, will you, please, call roll. Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Zaremba, yea; Hoaglun, yea. De Weerd: All ayes. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. B. Public Hearing: PP 11-012 CenterCal Subdivision by Meridian CenterCal, LLC Located Northeast Corner of E. Fairview Avenue and N. Eagle Road Request: Preliminary Plat Approval Consisting of 15 Building Lots on 80.1 +/- Acres in a C-G Zoning District De Weerd: Item 8-B is a public hearing on PP 11-012. I will open this public hearing with staff comments. Friedman: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. This is a preliminary plat for CenterCal, .the Meridian. Town Center project. I will dispense with the. location, and so forth, since you're well acquainted with it. The purpose of the preliminary plat is to, in effect, create some lots out there that Cal can then sell to some of their future tenants and future businesses. As you know we have processed certificates of zoning compliance for the whole site and they are proceeding with construction on some of those buildings, but they have also been in negotiations with some of their future businesses out there. So, they are creating the legal lots through the platting process. The only thing that I would point out that's a little bit different in this - in this one is that normally when we do a preliminary and final plat we have the rights of way dedicated a part of that for the -for the public street. What is unusual and different and actually welcome about this one is that Cal -excuse me -Cal and adjacent property owner have actually dedicated and ACHD has accepted the rights to way for Records Road, River Valley and the mid part or quarter mile access road into the process -- project, which will, in effect, list two projects. So, those rights of way have been dedicated. So this was heard by the Planning Commission. The applicant's representatives were the only people testifying. There was no opposition, nobody commenting, and Commission has recommended approval to you with no change and the -you have received an a-mail from John Gordon, I believe, from CenterCal stating that they are in agreement with the recommendation of the Planning Commission. And with that I would be happy to answer any questions. De Weerd: Thank you, Pete. Council, any questions? Rountree: I have none. Bird: I have none. Meridian City Council February 21, 2012 Page 11 of 18 De Weerd: Okay. Is the applicant here? Good evening. If you will, please, state your name and address for the record. Densmer: Yes. Thank you. My name is Jason Densmer with the Land Group. 462 East Shore Drive in Eagle. De Weerd: Thank you. Densmer: I'm here tonight on behalf of CenterCal. We really don't have anything to add to Pete's presentation. As he mentioned, John Gordon with CenterCal has submitted an a-mail indicating their acceptancewith their recommended conditions of approval. We did want to thank staff for their effort in working with us and agree with their recommendations to you. I will be happy to answer any questions if you have them. De Weerd: Thank you. Council, any questions at this point? Rountree: I have none. Bird:. I have none. Hoaglun: Madam Mayor, just a real quick easy one. If you don't mind. The first road that you turn in on the quarter mile, is that Parks? What's the name of that road; do you recall? Friedman: The road at the quarter mile between the two projects I believe has now been named Town Center Drive. Hoaglun: Town Center Drive. Okay. Wanted to clarify that. Friedman: Yes. Hoaglun: Thank you. De Weerd: Okay. Anything else in? Rountree: No. De Weerd: Thank you so much. Densmer: Thank you. De Weerd: I did have one person sign up on the sign-up sheet. Brian Carter. Would you like to provide testimony? Good evening. If you will, please, stated your name and address for the record. Meridian City Council February 21, 2012 Page 12 of 18 Carter: Sure. My name is Brian Carter. I'm at 2860 North Madera Way, Meridian, Idaho. De Weerd: Thank you. Carter: 83646. Well, looking at this -the plat and the design here, do I understand that there is no need anywhere within the roads for a -- and, Mr. Ammon, you can perhaps help me out -- a turnaround area for a -- for a - for a fire truck. Is that what they are generally referred to as? Like a cul-de-sac where it's a circle where a fire truck can come in and turn around, so that they can get out. I'm not sure what the technical term of that is. Is that -- okay. So, I had seen other places where there is a requirement for a turnaround area for a fire truck. I didn't see that necessarily here, if that's required. I do have a concern, perhaps, that if there is development around this elsewhere that there may be a necessity for future developers to put in like a turnaround as such was required by the Kings Congregation two and a half years ago in August of 2009, wherein the Tuscany group was supposed to have paid for that to get put in, yet the King's Congregation had to spend 22,000 dollars of our tithe money as required by this Council -actually, by the -- also by the Planning and Zoning Commission. I just wanted to make sure that if there is any future development here that we look at this plat and make. sure that there is all the. turnarounds necessary or the widths required for the fire trucks through that, such that it won't be placed on the burden of another developer down the road that they would have to pay their money, especially if I might be a church that goes in, that their tithe money would, then, have to be used to pay for something that the original developer should have paid for and I just want to make sure that that is qualified on record here that as we look forward to this type of very large wonderful plan going into effect, I look forward to enjoying it very much, but I just want to make sure that we are -- we are looking on right scope to make sure that something like that won't occur. So, that's my testimony. De Weerd: Thank you, sir. They are putting in a number of roads that are all interconnecting, so the turnaround will not be necessary and I think they will have a lot of parking lot to turn around in as well, so -- Carter: And, again, I'm here speaking on behalf of myself, not that I need to do that - De Weerd: I understand. Thank you so much. Zaremba: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Zaremba. Zaremba: You did sort of explain it, but I would clarify that a turnaround is usually needed at a cul-de-sac or a dead end road where there is no opportunity to move on through and it appears that all of these roads are through roads or there are plenty of opportunities, as the Mayor said. Meridian Cily Council February 21, 2012 Page 13 of 18 De Weerd: Thank you. Is there any additional testimony on this item? Any concluding remarks or just end? Okay. Thank you. Council, any - Bird: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Bird. Bird: Oh, go ahead if we don't - I was just going to close it if we didn't have any - De Weerd: No. That's fine. Bird: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Bird. Bird: I move we close the public hearing on PP 11-012. Rountree: Second. De Weerd: l have a, motion and a second to close the public hearing on Item 8-E. ,All , those in favor say aye. All ayes. Motion carried. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Bird: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Bird. Bird: I move we approve PP 11-012, CenterCal Subdivision by Meridian CenterCal, LLC, and to include staff, applicant, and public testimony. Rountree: Second. De Weerd: I have a motion and a second to approve Item 8-B. If there is no discussion, Madam Clerk. Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Zaremba, yea; Hoaglun, yea. De Weerd: All ayes. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. C. Public Hearing: SHP 12-001 Northpointe Commercial by BlackhawklMeridian, LLC Located Northwest Corner of W. McMillan Road and N. Linder Road Request: Short Plat Meridian City Council February 21, 2012 Page 14 of 18 Approval Consisting of Two (2) Commercial Lots on 1.40 Acres in C-G Zoning District De Weerd: Item 8-C is a public hearing on SHP 12-001. I will open this public hearing with staff comments. Friedman: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. This is a two lot short plat on property located at the corner of Linder and McMillan. As you can see, that currently the property is undeveloped. What has transpired is that we had an application for a Conditional Use Permit for the location of a bank with adrive-thru on this property. It currently is all one parcel and the bank was not interested in proceeding forward until they were able to secure their Conditional Use Permit. They have secured their Conditional Use Permit, so they are working with the developer now to create two legal parcels. They also didn't need residual property that went along with it and chose not to buy the whole piece. So, they have obtained their Conditional Use Permit and they are seeking -the applicant is seeking approval of the short plat to create the two lots for this and the applicant is in agreement with the staff report and conditions and has transmitted that to us and, therefore, we are recommending approval of the short plat to you. De Weerd: Thank you, Pete. Any questions for staff, Council? Rountree: I have none. De Weerd: Okay. Would the applicant like to make any comment? Okay. Thank you, sir. This is a public hearing. Is there anyone who would like to provide testimony on this item? Rountree: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Rountree. Rountree: Seeing none, I would move we close the public hearing on Item 8-C. Hoaglun: Second. De Weerd: I have a motion and a second to close the public hearing on Item 8-C. All those in favor say aye. All ayes. Motion carried. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Rountree: Madam Mayor?

De Weerd: I have a motion and a second to approve Item 8-C. Is there any discussion? Madam Clerk, will you call roll. Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Zaremba, yea; Hoaglun, yea. De Weerd: All ayes. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Rountree: Good to see you, Jerry. It's been awhile. Item 9: Department Reports A. Parks Department: FY2012 Budget Amendment for Lakeview Golf Course Phase Two Improvements in the Amount of $24,282.00. De Weerd: Under Item 8-A we have a Department Report by our Parks Department. Hi, Mike. Barton: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. In August 2011 we presented the Council with a partnership opportunity with Ashford Greens homeowner association. We asked the Council to approve and construct -- to construct landscape improvements at Lake View Golf Course along Dawson Drive. If improved Ashford Greens, the homeowners association, would maintain the area at no cost to the city. The funding for these improvements was approved and the project's been completed. At the time of our funding request Council directed us to meet with the golf course lessee and develop a scope of work and obtain quotes to finish the landscaping on the north side of the clubhouse next to Hole No. 1. We took this direction and had follow- up conversation with Council regarding the funding for these improvements and at the time we said that if it's the desire of the Council to complete these improvements in fiscal year '12 that we would be back with a budget amendment to fund these improvements. With input from the lessee at Lake View Golf Course we developed a set of plans and a scope of work. We put this to bid to four contractors and received a low bid from Franz Witte Landscaping for 23,575 dollars. This includes an irrigation T box, sod, seeding, barrier rocks, rotomill surfacing over the top of Nampa-Meridian's access drive. The budget amendment that we are asking for tonight is for a contract amount of 23,575, plus three percent contingency that brings the total amount to 24,282. If approved we can contract with Franz Witte Landscape to complete these improvements by approximately April 15th. And with that said I will answer questions. There is one additional comment. With the -- because this is in Nampa-Meridian's Meridian City Council February 21, 2012 Page 16 of 16 right of way when we did the phase one improvements we obtained the license agreement that covers both phase one and phase two. So, with approval of the budget amendment and contract we are good to go. De Weerd: Good. Council, any questions? Bird: I have none. Rountree: No. Thank you, Mike. Barton: Thank, you.
