Woodard: It's an honor to be here tonight and as we get into summer my prayer is along those lines. Our dear Heavenly Father, we thank you for watching over our city. Meridian City Council June 3, 2014 Page 2 of 44 We thank you for the coming of summer when our city comes alive with activities for our youth and families. Tonight we thank you along with all the Idahoans for the release of Bowe Bergdahl. There are others still in prison, many for their faith. We pray for their release also. Tonight as our Mayor and Council takes up issues important to the future of our city we ask that you grant each of them wisdom. As our city continues to grow we are reminded of the many construction projects going and we ask for the safety of workers and those who drive or walk near such sites. Please keep our city workers safe this summer, our police, our firemen, our EMTs and the various inspectors and other workers throughout the city. Lastly, I thank you for the faith leadership of our Mayor. Keeping a focus on our youth is important as they grow up in a time of moral uncertainty. We thank you for the faith council to assist in keeping community headed in a moral direction. Let's just pause in our thoughts this evening and all in attendance ask ourselves what we can do this summer to make Meridian an even better place to live and work, in Jesus' name, amen. De Weerd: Thank you, Larry. And you do remind us that these are the one hundred most dangerous days for our youth and those are the days of summer and we have done a lot of spring flings and kicking off the summer season and given tips on staying safe and particularly as -- as we have new teen drivers on the road. I had to share that I have a friend recently who has a daughter that just got her training permit and sometimes our kids forget that cars are big and they are -- they are not indestructible, so -- we love our state champions being in attendance tonight and we will pray for your safety this summer as well. But being lacrosse and golfers I know you're rough and tough and I shouldn't be concerned; right? Item 4: Adoption of the Agenda Okay.

Amended onto the Agenda: Youth Scholarships Presentations De Weerd: While I move down to the podium I will ask Ken Corder if he would come up and join me. Every year at our State of the City our sponsors of the State of the City event -- their sponsorship not only covers bringing this event to our community, but it also covers youth scholarships and this year reading all of the scholarship applications it Meridian City Council June 3, 2014 Page 5 of 44 was really rewarding. It really tells us as a -- as a community that we have some awesome youth that are doing some amazing things to leave a legacy in this community that they are being raised in and going to school in and it was while reading all of these scholarship applications you saw the many different parts of our community that is touched by these emerging leaders and so tonight we will be recognizing three of the scholarship winners and as I -- I will first read a short description of just a small portion of what they have done in our community. But I think it's very noteworthy that we recognize the many things that they have done. First Micah Gale is graduating from Rocky Mountain High School. He has had a 4.25 weighed GPA and has been described as one of the most inquisitive students his chemistry teacher has ever had the privilege of teaching and I can attest that's true. Micah has been a member of the Civil Air Patrol cadet program for six years, serving as a leader of the ground search and rescue team. He has been a member of the Mayor's Youth Advisory Council, as well serves as a youth commissioner on the transportation commission for the last two years. Using his skills from these two groups he has led MYAC's effort to change Idaho's seatbelt laws. Micha has done many community service opportunities for MYAC and the National Honor Society, such as retail -- Relay For Life and Adopt A Highway litter control. He will begin in the fall college and will be attending MIT. So, Micha, if you will come and join us here in the front, we would like to present this to you. Gale: So, I would just like to take this opportunity to thank our great Mayor and also the men and women of the City Council and sponsors of the State of the City address for giving me this scholarship and it will be extremely helpful in furthering my studies, so thank you, everyone. De Weerd: You know, I would like to say -- and we recognized the seniors of the Mayor's Youth Advisory Council last week and two of our seniors that are in this room, whether it's student athletes or our scholarship winners, we hope that you remember this community after you go off to your -- your next phase in your life in studying and beginning a career, but we do hope that you will remember the road back is paved in appreciation and our desire that you come back to this community, a community that you have already given your talents and your energies and you have made a difference in, that you will come and raise your families here. We need your talents. We can't afford to lose the passion that you have shown, whether it's in sports or your community service, that we would love to see you come back to Meridian and we are working hard to make sure that you have a career worth pursuing to come back to. So, with that said I will read -- our next scholarship award winner is MacKenzie Baird. She's graduating from Meridian High School. She has been a leader in her school, serving on the student body as president for two years, where she worked with the American Red Cross in planning 12 blood drives, helped plan the Buddy Walk, raise funds for breast cancer awareness. She's also been a leader in MYAC, serving on the executive council and involved in the many of our community service projects in the group. In addition MacKenzie has been involved in Teens Against Tobacco and educated middle school students about the harmful effects of tobacco. She raised 800 pounds of donations for the Meridian Food Bank and volunteers at the veteran's home. Altogether she has given more than 700 hours of service to the community over the lasts four years. Meridian City Council June 3, 2014 Page 6 of 44 MacKenzie plans to attend Dixie State University this fall pursuing a degree in mass communications. Please join me in congratulating MacKenzie Baird. Baird: Well, I wasn't planning on speaking today, but I would just like to say thank you so much. The city has given me many opportunities throughout high school and I have learned a lot and if it weren't for the opportunities I have been given, like being a member in Mayor's Youth Advisory Council, I wouldn't be going off to college. I'm going to the University of Utah and I really do hope to come back and raise my family later on in my life. So, thank you very much. De Weerd: And the third student that's here with us tonight is Brooklyn Davis. Brooklyn is graduating from Meridian Medical Arts Charter High School. She has been an active member of her school, her church, and the Mayor's Youth Advisory Council, giving back to the community in each of those sectors. As a member of MYAC she served as the secretary and participated in events such as Rake Up Meridian, Youth Lobby Day and Ball at the Hall. Brooklyn has volunteered her time playing music at the Spring Creek Assistant Living Center, done clothing drives, performed numerous volunteer work as a member of the Key Club where she served as president and I think there is probably not an organization at the Meridian Medical Arts Charter High School that she hasn't been involved in. According to her counselor, Brooklyn will leave a lasting impression on her school, having made it a better place, something I can also say holds true for this community. She is graduating with a 4.0 GPA and plans to Harvard college in the fall to study psychology, biology, and astrophysics. Please join me in congratulating. Davis: Well, I just rushed from rugby practice. I'm sorry. Thank you so much. I joined the Mayor's Youth Advisory Council just last year and it opened my eyes to how loving the City of Meridian is. I have lived in Boise most of my life, but I have gone to school in Meridian, so it's basically where I grew up. All my friends are from Meridian. It's where I hang out and I definitely plan on coming to live here when I grow up. It is the best community ever. I have great mentors. Ken and the Mayor -- I absolutely love them. I look up to them so much and I want to thank you guys so much for the scholarship. It will help me a ton. Thank you. B. Public Works Week Proclamation De Weerd: Okay. Now, we have a couple of proclamations and I don't know how he managed to do this, but our Public Works director put Public Works Week first before our youth athletes and it's just because he is so excited about Public Works Week he wants you to sit through the proclamation and reading about it. So, I think he must have paid something -- someone off as part of it. So, with that said we are in Public Works Week right now and we have a group of very passionate employees that have spent a lot of time putting together a week of activities that share the importance of Public Works in our community and we hope that it also brings awareness to the importance of the work that they do, that will perhaps encourage our youth to pursue a career in Public Works. Tom, if you would like to come forward, I will read this proclamation and ask you to make some comments. Whereas everyone in Meridian's health, safety, and Meridian City Council June 3, 2014 Page 7 of 44 quality of life benefits from this dependable delivery of Public Works services and whereas with 386 miles of sewer line, 470 miles of waterline, 19 active water wells and 4,420 active fire hydrants it's all hands on deck in our Public Works Department to keep the water flowing out of faucets and when it arrives at our treatment plant. Whereas each year we are excited to celebrate Public Works Week with fun activities, including the Public Works Expo, which is tomorrow. The Poop Scoot and the fun run and the Go With The Flow facilities tour and whereas the Meridian Food Bank has received over 8,200 dollars and 772 pounds of food in donations as a result of Public Works Week and whereas the staff and leadership at the Meridian Public Works Department and our Public Works partners understand the importance of the work they perform and are dedicated to serving this community. Therefore, I, Tammy de Weerd, Mayor of the City of Meridian, do hereby proclaim the week of June 1 st through the 7th as Meridian Public Works Week and I call upon all citizens acquaint themselves with our Public Works Department and the tremendous work they do in our community through participating in the various activities of Public Works Week and I present this to Tom Barry. Barry: Thank you, Madam Mayor. I'm very grateful for the proclamation and the recognition of the good work we do in Public Works, which is often unnoticed, because most of what we do is underground. While I make a couple comments I'd like to have Kyle Radek join us. I will introduce him in just a moment. But this is an exciting week for Public Works. Well, actually, every week is exciting in Public Works, but this is especially exciting. We get to celebrate with the community all of the different things that we do throughout the year to keep the process running and the sewers working and all of that kind of stuff. We have a number of different activities and events scheduled for this week, including, as the Mayor mentioned, a big expo which runs from 4:00 to 7:00 tomorrow night and that's -- that's an opportunity for the community to come out and look at the equipment we use, to see the demonstrations and also for kids to come out and learn a little about the city and Public Works. We have a golf scramble. We have fun runs and walks. We have a number of different events. The gentleman to my right is Kyle Radek. He is our assistant city engineer for the water -- for the engineering division and Kyle is also -- we are fortunate to call him again -- our committee chair for the Public Works Week committee and I'd like to invite him up for a few words as well, because -- but before he does I need to mention just how critical having Kyle as our committee chair has been in the success of this important series of activities and events. It's Kyle's leadership and the support that he gets from the other staff that volunteer to serve on this committee that really makes this event happen and I'm very pleased to have him on the team and appreciate all that you have done. So, if you just say a few words. Radek: I want to make these comments brief, because we have got the proclamations to do. I think it's fitting that we have champion athletes here and scholars that are on their way to higher education, because in my mind Public Works is all about making sure that people in the community can reach their potential. If you have clean water that's safe to drink, you have responsible wastewater treatment, then, you don't have to worry about getting sick from salmonella or typhoid or legionella, stuff like that. You can reach your potential. So, I'm proud that -- that we do what we do and -- and I'm glad Meridian City Council June 3, 2014 Page 8 of 44 that we see evidence of the enabling of Public Works for people to meet their potential in this great city that we live in. I encourage people to come to the expo tomorrow night. It starts at -- it starts at 4:00 o'clock, ends at 7:00. You can see what the Public Works staffs do to -- to serve our community. We are all very proud of what we do and we can't do it without our City Council Members and so I would like to take this opportunity to recognize our City Council Members has our partners in delivering Public Works services to this community by giving them a commemorative coin that -- it says Meridian Public Works, Building For Today, Planning For Tomorrow. That's the National Public Works Week theme and I'm proud to offer it to our Mayor and Council Members, because without them we can't do what we do. So, Madam Mayor, thank you very much. Councilman Cavener, thank you. Council Woman Milam, thank you. Councilman Bird, thank you. Councilman Rountree, thank you. Councilman Borton, thank you. Councilman Zaremba, thank you. C. Mountain View High School Lacrosse Team Proclamation De Weerd: Thank you, Kyle. And certainly you can't find anyone more passionate about Public Works than Kyle Radford. He -- and I just messed up his last name. That's all right. I just -- I rename everyone. So, just don't forget that. I will call you Radford again. Just so Nancy -- I didn't relate them. Okay. With that our next item is recognizing our student athletes and we have been very fortunate in the City of Meridian to have a number of championship teams. I will tell you that I have two proclamations. The one I will read tonight doesn't include all of the names, but it will be entered into our public record, so if anyone wants to show their family and kids years from now it will be in the public record that you had a special name or a special day named after you and your team. So, your names will be in the public record. I will give your coaches the proclamation with your names on it, but I will read the one without, because I always mess up everyone's name, as you just witnessed. I will ask our Mountain View champions to come on forward and join me as I read this. And, coach, if I can get you to stand with me. Okay. And also what we will do, guys, after I read this I will ask your coach -- or he might ask you to introduce yourself and what year in school you are, then, I will shake your hand and Ken will give you one of our City of Meridian pins. Again, just our small token of appreciation for you joining us here tonight and a small gesture in congratulation for your achievement. So, whereas being an athlete builds character, confidence, and teaches teamwork, all qualities that are needed to succeed on the field, in the classroom, and in the real world and whereas the Mountain View -- this is the wrong one. I don't think you're the girls track team, are you? Okay. But who knows; right? Okay. Whereas the Mountain View lacrosse team has 20 wins, with only two losses, and recently won the 2014 state championship for lacrosse and whereas capturing the title builds school spirit and allows these student athletes to walk the halls of Mountain View with a little extra swagger and whereas with the help of awesome coaches and team members they were able to transform these players into winners with each team member making valuable contributions, therefore, I, Tammy de Weerd, of the City of Meridian, do hereby proclaim Mountain View High School lacrosse state championship day in the City of Meridian and call upon all of our community to join me in congratulating this team and these members for their remarkable athletic Meridian City Council June 3, 2014 Page 9 of 44 achievement and for representing Meridian so proudly in their state competition. We are very proud of you and congratulate you for your achievements. Morgan: I'd like to thank the Mayor and the City Council for inviting us today. This is a huge honor. It's a great group of guys that have earned this. They have put in the time, they have put in the hard work. This is actually their second year winning state. Again it's a huge honor to be a part of this, got to know these guys. It's sad to see them go, but, you know, love every one of them. It's been an honor, it's been a privilege, and I just wish them the best. We have got some amazing leaders on this team, both on and off the field. Without a doubt we have got some guys that are going to be some CEOs, they are going to come back and make this place better. If they don't come back here, where ever they go they are going to just make that community a better place. And, again, these guys are just -- they are amazing -- amazing young men. They have put in the time. They have great grades. They have done everything they could to just make this a successful group and I can't -- I can't say thank you enough to all you guys.

Morgan: We did have a few guys I know a little too humble to say it, Josh Buss and Troy Vance were also All Americans for our league, so -- De Weerd: You know, I would just like to tell the team I think you are the most well behaved and sincere group we have every had recognized. So, I can see why your coach got emotional and I'm sure it will be difficult saying goodbye to a large portion of you, but it's a big challenge to those that are going to be filling your spots to carry on the tradition that you have started in just your first two years of this program. So, congratulations. And I will tell you you don't have stay for the entire City Council meeting. D. Proclamation for Rocky Mountain High School Girls Golf Team Champions Day Meridian City Council June 3, 2014 Page 11 of 44 De Weerd: Generally I would -- so, do we have the Rocky Mountain golf team here? Okay. If you will, please, join me up front. Thank you for being here. And certainly I congratulate all of you for your achievement. Certainly golf is a more individual sport, but it's also a team sport, and we appreciate you being here with us and celebrate your accomplishments. Whereas being an athlete builds character, confidence and teaches teamwork, all traits that are needed to succeed on the field, in the classroom and in the real world and whereas the Rocky Mountain girls golf team recently won the 2014 state championship for golf and whereas capturing the state title builds school pride and allows these students to walk the halls of Mountain View -- or Rocky Mountain -- oh, wow. Yeah. I will have to start over. I'm sorry. No. Whereas capturing the state title builds school pride and allows these student athletes to walk the halls of Rocky Mountain as champions and whereas these team members are the best in the state with the help of their tremendous coaches, with each golfer making valuable contributions, therefore, 1, Mayor Tammy de Weerd, of the City of Meridian, do hereby proclaim Rocky Mountain High School Girls Golf State Champion Day -- try and say that very quickly -- apparently it doesn't work for me. Rocky Mountain High School Girls Golf State Champions Day in the City of Meridian and I call upon all of our community to join me in congratulating this team, these individuals on their remarkable athletic achievement and for representing Meridian so proudly in the state competition. So, congratulations to each of you and, coach, I will turn this over to you. McCrady: Thank you. First and foremost, obviously, thanks to the City of Meridian for recognizing the hard work of these young ladies. It's not just one year that they have done this, but two years in a row and have had an incredible four year run with the two seniors that are now graduating. I want to thank the City Council. Appreciate it so much for you guys taking the time to recognize these kids. They work very hard at what they do and don't get the recognition hardly at all that they deserve and Mayor de Weerd and I -- I think the last time we interacted was about a bill. I think it had something to do with the city works. So, I'm really having -- no. De Weerd: Did I win? McCrady: You won. Yes. But, anyway, it's just a great honor for us to be here and I have been coaching at Rocky Mountain since we opened six years ago. I was at Mountain View for the previous six years before that and I have been a part of Meridian city for a long time and have just been truly blessed and honored to be around such quality, incredible athletes at every school I have been at, but this one in particular with these girls this year was just -- it was awesome and they -- they struggled through an immense amount of difficulties at times with bad weather conditions to bad attitudes to bad golf and they found a way to overcome it all and perform at the highest level against some of the toughest competition in the state and did it as a team and that was my favorite part about the season, just what they accomplished as a team and they know that I'm a pretty emotional guy and I have told them I'm an oak, I'm good, but as I look at my seniors it always make it very difficult to say goodbye. I have two amazing seniors. They are going to get a chance to speak in a second and I tell you this city is blessed Meridian City Council June 3, 2014 Page 12 of 44 with some incredible, incredible kids and we are very fortunate that one of them is going to stay here. She was number one in her class out of 500 and I don't remember -- forty- six or something and she's staying in the valley to go to Boise State on a full ride scholarship and is an incredible student athlete and did all of that while being number one in her class and help lead her team to two state championships and, then, one district championship in Meridian as well. So, it's just -- we are so blessed with incredible athletes and these girls were awesome and they get to go to the next level and participate. I have got another senior that's going down to Utah Valley and getting a chance to play on a full ride scholarship and play golf. So, it's just an incredible blessing that I have been able to be around these young ladies and I'm just -- I'm going to miss them immensely and Ryleigh Moore and Carson Pickett are our two seniors and I will let them speak last. But we will bring up our freshmen. Sydni Kobayashi, who joined the team and played a pivotal rule in getting us to state and, actually, when we got to state had a huge impact on how it turned out and so very fortunate to have her and, then, Hannah Veloz will speak and she is our sophomore and she got an opportunity to play varsity this year and really worked her tail off to get to that point and did incredible things throughout the season just finding the fortitude to make the team and be a part of everything we were trying to do and she really learned a lot about herself as a character person this year and that was exciting. And, then, our junior, who was absolutely lights out at state and got a chance to really help lead our team and it was -- it's just been an honor to be around these kids. So, I will let them share their -- their thanks and I can't, again, say enough how much we appreciate this recognition. Thank you. Kobayashi: Hi. I'm Sydni Kobayashi and I'm a freshman and I'd really like to thank my parents and Coach McCrady for everything they did this year to make it an amazing year and none of it wouldn't have been possible without them both. Veloz: I'm Hannah Veloz. I'm a sophomore at Rocky and I'd just like to thank our coach and our parents for always supporting us and also our teammates and our freshman for going through our little hazing thing that we did. Giesbrecht: I'm Hannah Giesbrecht. I'm a junior and I just want to thank Coach McCrady and my parents and teammates for an amazing season. Pickett: I'm Carson Pickett. I graduated this year. I want to thank City of Meridian for recognizing us and my teammates for making my senior year awesome and my coach for helping me go to the next level. Moore: Hi. My name is Ryleigh Moore and I'd like to thank the City of Meridian for making it such wonderful place to live, you know, the sense of security and also the health that the public service provides -- Public Works provides for us makes it really nice to be able to focus on golf and academics. I'd also like to thank my parents and everybody who was involved these past four years with the Rocky Mountain golf team. They have been like a family to me and I can't imagine what the future will be like without them. Luckily I will -- I am excited to studying at Boise State, so I don't have to Meridian City Council June 3, 2014 Page 13 of 44 figure that out very soon. So, I'd just like to take an opportunity to thank everybody who played a role in helping me in my last 18 years of life. Thank you. De Weerd: Wow. I think we were able to recognize the cream of the crop from our community and congratulate both those that won the scholarships and won our state champions for -- for all of your accomplishments. For the seniors certainly we wish you the best success in your college pursuits and, like I said, I do hope that we see you all back in our community and, Kyle, I think you have a recruit, right? So, go for it. she's number one in her class and at BSU. You got that, right? Okay. Thank you to the parents. You know, I think all the accolades that the students gave to their parents speak really highly to your parenting, the support you have given your athletes and congratulations to all of you and to the girls that golf -- my dad was a golf coach and so I never chose that as a career, because I'd have to golf with him, but I do golf for pleasure now. I congratulate you in your efforts. So, thank you. Item 7: Items Moved From Consent Agenda De Weerd: Well, thank you. We will go ahead and move into our next -- the rest of our agenda. There were no items moved from the Consent Agenda. Item 8: Action Items A. FP 14-022 Revolution Ridge Subdivision No. 1 by Conger Management Located 1100 W. Riodosa Drive Request: Final Plat Approval Consisting of Forty -Five (45) Building Lots and Four (4) Common Lots on 14.24 Acres of Land in the R-4 Zoning District De Weerd: So, we will move right into Item 8-A, which is FP 14-022 and ask for staff comments. Watters: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. Item 8-A is a final plat for the first phase of Revolution Ridge Subdivision. The applicant did submit a letter in agreement with the staff report after the deadline for the Consent Agenda, but the application is in agreement with the staff report. De Weerd: Thank you. Council, any questions? Bird: I have none. De Weerd: Okay. Do I have a motion? Bird: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Bird. Meridian City Council June 3, 2014 Page 14 of 44 Bird: I move we approve FP 14-022. Rountree: Second. De Weerd: I have a motion and a second to approve Item 8-A. Madam Clerk, will you call roll. Roll Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Zaremba, yea; Borton, yea; Milam, yea; Cavener, yea. De Weerd: All ayes. Motion carried. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. B. FP 14-023 Sagewood Subdivision by Sagewood Overland, LLC Located South Side of W. Overland Road, Approximately 650 Feet West of S. Stoddard Road Request: Final Plat Approval Consisting of Two (2) Office Lots, Forty -Five (45) Residential Lots and Eight (8) Common Lots on Approximately 15.62 Acres of Land in the L -O and R-8 Zoning Districts De Weerd: Item 8-B is FP 14-023. 1 will turn this over to staff. Watters: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. The next application is also a final plat request for Sagewood Subdivision. This site is located on the south side of West Pine Avenue, between North Black Cat Road and North Ten Mile Road. The applicant requests approval of a final plat consisting of two office lots, 45 residential lots, and eight common lots on approximately 15.62 acres of land in an L -O and R-8 zoning district. The proposed open space complies with the overall project open space approved with the Sagewood development. Staff finds the proposed final plat is in substantial compliance with the approved preliminary plat. Written testimony was received from Becky McKay, the applicant's representative, in agreement with the staff report, with corrections to site specific conditions number 17 and 18. There was an error in the staff report. Staff has amended these provisions to reflect the correction requested by the applicant, which will be included in the findings document that will be before you in a couple weeks. Staff will stand for any questions Mayor and Council may have. De Weerd: Thank you. Council, any questions? Bird: I have none. De Weerd: Okay Bird: Madam Mayor? Meridian City Council June 3, 2014 Page 15 of 44 De Weerd: Mr. Bird. Bird: I move we approve FP 14-023 and include the specific conditions in 17 and 18 as stated by staff. Rountree: Second.

Continued from May 6,2014: Public Hearing: AZ 14-001 Ten Mile Center by Treasure Valley Investments, LLC Located South of W. Franklin Road on the East Side of S. Ten Mile Road Request: Annexation and Zoning of 120.69 Acres of Land with the R-8 (13.23 Acres), TN -C (26.11 Acres) and C -G (81.35 Acres) Zoning Districts De Weerd: Item 8-C was continued from May 6. It's on a public hearing for AZ 14-001. This item was continued for specific reasons. I will turn this over to staff for comment. Watters: Thank you, Madam Mayor. This -- the City Council heard this annexation and zoning request for this property on May 6th. At that meeting the Council continued the public hearing to the June 3rd meeting. Tonight. Council requested staff work with the applicant to include provisions in the development agreement that will insure a transition between the adjacent rural neighborhood and a proposed TN -R and TN -C zoned areas, with open space and/or zoning. Based on discussions with staff and testimony at the Council hearing, the applicant has submitted revised development agreement provisions the staff feels addresses the concerns of the neighbors and the City Council. I will show the proposed changes to the zoning map that the applicant is proposing. You will note that the R-8 district now extends south and west along the boundaries of these residential lots. Are we good now? Sorry about that, folks. I will go over the provisions the applicant is proposing, amendments to -- in the development agreement. They did add a new provision requiring a pedestrian connection to be made to the adjacent school site as requested by Council. That was number -- actually, it's a new provision 4.1.4 and, then, the existing provisions 4.1.6, they did change minimum of 95 residential units to be developed in the TN -R zone to 75 units based on the reduction in that area with the zoning change. A minimum of 300 residential units are still planned to develop within a C -G and/or TN -C zone areas combined. Staff is in agreement with the changes proposed by the applicant. The Council also requested information from Meridian City Council June 3, 2014 Page 16 of 44 ACHD on what might occur in the future in this area in regard to street and/or sidewalk improvements. Staff did receive an e-mail from Christy Little providing the following information. There is currently curb, gutter, and sidewalk along the north side of Waltman Lane from Linder Road to the west side of the school site. Let's get an aerial up here to show you here. So, this is where the existing sidewalk is here, up to this point right here. There is not curb, gutter and sidewalk on the north side of Waltman in front of the three parcels between the school site and the Ten Mile Center, which consists of approximately 450 feet. That is from this area to the edge of the Ten Mile property right here. An option to complete these off-site improvements may be to ask the developer to complete the improvements and ACHD to reimburse them as a developer cooperative project. The applicant has expressed to me that they are open to that proposal. And there are no plans to improve or widen the south side of Waltman Lane at this time. Staff will stand for any questions Mayor and Council may have. De Weerd: Council, any questions? Bird: I have none at this time. De Weerd: Okay. Would the applicant have anything to add to staff comments? McKay: Thank you, Madam Chair, Members of the Council. Becky McKay with Engineering Solutions, 1029 North Rosario, Meridian. I will keep my comments focused. The Council, obviously, has already heard this item and deferred it for some specific information as far as they wanted us to come back. We have prepared this colored drawing. As you can see, one of the obvious concerns was the way that we showed the connectivity to Waltman. What you see with the trees, the roadways with the trees along them, that's what's shown on the Ten Mile specific transportation plan. Those are the future collectors. As far as how the other roads -- the rest of the roadway network, you know, that will come as site plan -- a site plan and the development plan is worked upon and transportation study will come along with it. I also included what happens to the north. You can see that there is an outlet that goes to Franklin Road and, then, there is another kind of an east leg that loops back over. I did take a look at our R-8 area. I did lay in lots. There is -- the pathway would -- could connect a lot -- adjacent to the existing -- just south of the canal. There is already a pathway there that comes out of Whitestone and goes south directly to the school as you can see there on the aerial photo. There would be another opportunity for a pedestrian access where the school has a hard surface right up to their western boundary, which would be right there off the corner. So, it appears we have two pedestrian options to encourage walking and bicycling into that existing elementary. The other thing that I did is -- this is one option, obviously, for conceptual purposes only. If we -- if a connection -- public street connection were made to Waltman it would be done with a choker -type island connection. It would T'd in and T'd into the single family residential and, then, unlike the first plan where we kind of showed a possible roadway that went on north, so we had a four way intersection here, we just have that T coming in. We'd still allow for traffic to go both to the west and you could still have interconnectivity east, but it doesn't promote a through fare. So, that's one option that would be available. I did look at open space Meridian City Council June 3, 2014 Page 17 of 44 that would work in my conceptual plan. The best open space was along Waltman where we transitioned from those existing deeper lots to the west. There was a nice area that was over an acre that would serve both neighborhoods, would also create a nice look down Walton. That's one possibility. As far as density in a particular area, obviously, staff -- we have increased that -- that R-8 area. We have created a band. We would be just a little over four dwelling units per acre, which is kind of the minimum for that -- that R-8 zone. Then we transitioned to the TN -R and, then, to the TN -C and the C -G as we moved westward. We think, obviously, the planning on this development can coexist with this neighborhood. We do it all the time. We are sensitive to it. We don't have a problem using, obviously, our resources to install curb, gutter, and sidewalk onto the north portion where it -- on Waltman where it lacks it, working with ACHD through either cooperative and development agreement or some other mechanism, because there is existing curb, gutter, and sidewalk all the way to east out to Linder. Do Council have any questions? De Weerd: Council, any questions? Zaremba: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Zaremba. Zaremba: Just on that last subject. I appreciate that you and ACHD are willing to work together. Has there been any contact with the three property owners there yet? McKay: Whatever improvements would have to be within the existing right of way. There is 50 feet of right of way there and that is designated as a local street. So, we should be able to fit the improvements in there on -- Zaremba: In the existing right of way. McKay: Right. If we do run into like some slope issues or something along that line, then, we have in the past had situations where we did approach like the property owner asking if they would grant a sidewalk easement. So, we work with the adjoining neighbors, we don't just go in and do it. Zaremba: Thank you. McKay: That's never a good idea De Weerd: Any other questions from Council? Bird: I have none. De Weerd: Okay. Thank you, Becky. McKay: Thank you. Meridian City Council June 3, 2014 Page 18 of 44 De Weerd: We do have a number of people that have signed up, again, against this proposed development. We will accept public testimony based on just the change that is in front of Council, as we did hear public testimony on the entire application. Is there anyone who would like to provide testimony at this time? Come forward. I'm sorry, you will have to speak into the mike. Lambing: My husband had a couple comments he wrote down for me as well, if that's okay. De Weerd: Okay. Does he want to also testify? Lambing: Yes. De Weerd: Okay. If you will, please, state your name and address for the record. Lambing: Christine Lambing. I live at 860 Lilac Street. We are at the corner of Waltman and Lilac. De Weerd: Thank you. Lambing: At the last meeting I made the following comment: We have yet to be presented with clear intent as to the actual number of dwellings proposed, but have been given ambiguous responses instead, all indicating an all too high density plan. I still feel that way. The changes made to their proposal address the minimum units to be developed in the TN -R zone, the minimum units to be developed and they address the change from 95 to 75, and a minimum of 300 units in the C -G and/or TN -C zones combined did not change. I am more concerned with the maximum and planned totals for these areas. Why is that so hard? What are they hiding? It is still wide open to allow for an altogether too high density plan for our rural one acre residential lots. Again, in regards to the property and review for the development adjacent to the Primerose Subdivision be designated R-1, I didn't see an R-8 on the map. I don't know if we weren't seeing it, but there was no R-8 that we could see -- to better keep in line with our long-standing neighborhood. We are still opposed to the current proposal for the TN -C and/or TN -R property. My husband R. Chris Lambing, who lives at the same address, would like the following read: I have read the new revision -- revisions to the plan for the Ten Mile Center project. All I see is that the builders will put in a walkway to Peregrine school and the 95 to 75 dwelling change. The City Council asked engineers of the project to put forth something in writing as to their intent for this project. All they have done is continue their vague descriptions of intent. They state number of maximum -- minimum dwellings. We don't have a total number. We don't have any idea how many numbers are going to go in there. We have a minimum, which is still too high even at that minimum. They state -- it leaves it open -- an open no obligation commitment. We just received our property assessments. It doesn't leave much doubt as to who is going to pay for it. Thanks. Meridian City Council June 3, 2014 Page 19 of 44 De Weerd: Thank you. So, did you want to add to that testimony? Okay. Thank you. And just remember that one, that you did really well, you can use it later on; right? I did see -- yes, ma'am. Thank you for joining us. If you will, please, state your name and address. Weekes: My name is Maggie Weekes. I live at 1010 Lilac Street herein Meridian. De Weerd: Thank you. Weekes: Hearing what she just described, Becky, kind of took me back to our last meeting on May 6 and we had asked her to come up with not options -- were we supposed to do a finer point about more definition about the -- how are you going to merge us together. I thought we were going to get here tonight and actually hear what they planned, not the word options, because it doesn't sound like she's addressed what we asked for. All our concern was how are you going to merge this -- this place you're trying to develop with what's currently there and keep Waltman safe? It's just not -- I didn't hear anything to address that issue right there and that was actually an e-mail that was found online dated May 6. 1 would move that we continue this public hearing and ask the staff to put a finer point on some of the development agreement conditions with respect to the open spaces and the zoning. I didn't really get my answer tonight. So, thank you for your time. De Weerd: Okay. Thank you. Zaremba: Madam Mayor, while she's coming forward, may I ask a question of staff? De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Zaremba. Zaremba: Well, first, let me say I think this may not be very visible on the screen, but one of the mayor changes is that there is an identification that the R-8 zone now has additional area along the south of this project adjacent to the neighboring subdivisions. My recollection is the original one -- both the TN -C and the TN -R went all the way south. So, there is not a very easily readable change to this one. My question to staff is doesn't R-8 have a maximum number of dwellings built into the ordinance, so by declaring that R-8 the maximum is guided by ordinance? Watters: Mayor, Councilman Zaremba, Councilmen, yes, the R-8 district allows for a maximum gross density of eight units per acre. So, what will develop is actually less, typically, after you get the streets out. Zaremba: Thank you. De Weerd: Can you zoom it in a little bit, so they might Watters: Not in the PowerPoint, no. Meridian City Council June 3, 2014 Page 20 of 44 De Weerd: Okay. Please. Ockerman: Jeanette Ockerman. 2070 West Waltman Street in Meridian. And you can just leave this map up. This is a little shocking to me, because this was not the information that was forwarded to me last Thursday. Neither was anything that was said by Becky today. So, I appreciate the fact that they have addressed some of our transitioning concerns with the R-8, that there has been adjustments to the school with a pathway to the school that's addressed more of the student safety and a sidewalk -- or the proposal of a sidewalk along Waltman Street on the north side. I appreciate them listening to us and making those changes. I do have questions about the roadway that is connecting into Waltman. I'm not quite sure what she's talking about when she says a T that slows traffic what that exactly means and since we weren't given the information in advance it's really hard to research it and to give you a solid statement, because what I have prepared is what information I was forwarded from the city last Thursday. However, I do want to make some comments about the information from what I have received as far as connectivity into Waltman Street goes. That street was built over 30 years ago and it may have been intended to connect into Ten Mile and Meridian Road at some point in time, however, the east side of Waltman has been blocked off as development has come in and, then, our side of Waltman Road the property at the end of the road was sold back to a resident in our subdivision, so that the roadway could not go through. We actually are asking you to not allow the connection onto Waltman for several reasons. We feel that the city will still have connectivity without -- that's all right. Without adding in this road into our neighborhood. Our children and grandchildren should not be afraid to ride their bikes across the street or play with their friends, things that are common in any neighborhood, but would be a dangerous pastime if this extension goes through. We have a very straight, long road and it's a huge enticement for speeders going or coming to the Ten Mile interchange or the Ten Mile Center. Our road lacks any sort of calming traffic provisions that are in most subdivisions with twisty, windy roads that discourage traffic. And to top it off, we have a school on our street that adds to the number of children and the increased potential for accidents. The school districts no longer put elementary schools on busy roads, they put them on -- in quiet subdivisions, on quiet streets, to protect the children. They tuck them away. We are asking you not to reverse that pattern by connecting into Waltman Road and actually increasing the traffic on the street and a potential for speeding and for accidents. There are alternatives to connectivity. There are stub streets in the eastern neighborhoods east of Linder and would get them into Waltman. One of those stubs into the Browning development that was before the City Council last month that is proposed to be finished about the same time as the Ten Mile Center, that would give them connectivity laid out that they don't need to use our neighborhood to get out to an interchange or have access to business districts. Also at some point the Linder Road overpass will go in. We have existed down here in our area as a giant cul- de-sac for a lot of years and I think we can last a few more until that interchange -- the overpass for Linder goes over without adding connectivity at the end of our road. We have a unique situation in our neighborhood and we are asking for an exception to the proposed street. We feel that we can coexist with this development. It's going to happen. Growth will happen. But we are asking that you not connect into our Meridian City Council June 3, 2014 Page 21 of 44 neighborhood, so that we can prevent the potential for accidents, for increased traffic, for the danger to children, for the effect it will have on our neighborhood. You would not do this to new neighborhoods. You would not put a road in that will give direct access to an interchange and that goes through a neighborhood and I appreciate your time and I hope you will consider that. Thank you. De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. Any additional testimony? Yes, sir. Good evening. S.Weekes: Good evening. De Weerd: If you will, please, state your name and address for the record. S.Weekes: Yes. Steven Weekes. 1010 Lilac, Meridian, Idaho. Thank you again for taking the time to listen to us. Really do appreciate it. When we go back to the future land use management that -- again that we all spent so much time on -- a lot of the members here did also, we keep on forgetting what they put the time in for. The R-8 changes that we have available now, those are great, but the bottom part of the R-8 down on the road and stuff -- I believe that's the area with the -- that that -- they were saying that where those buffer zones are, those open spaces are, so what does that actually do for us? We'd like to know that. Second, I'm very concerned why we didn't get the information. We have a copy of the -- from last week we got a copy from the city that was in the morning and, then, in the afternoon there was completely different one that did not have the concerns of the Council members in it to begin with. I'm very concerned about that this is what we are given -- shown one thing, then, all of a sudden in the afternoon it's changing. The next thing is -- to make it real simple is let's not connect that road to Waltman. Obviously, that's Ada County's problem. One little road that she has there and she's saying that there is going to be a T there, I'm not sure exactly what she means by that either, but what's the real need for that road to go into that -- that area? Other than that, the -- the TN -R, the amount of homes and stuff that are available that they are saying there is minimums, I do have a concern with that, but those are my biggest concerns and I do appreciate everybody's time tonight and to take a minute and listen to us again. So, thank you so much. Is there any questions that you have for me by chance? De Weerd: Thank you, Mr. Weekes. Any questions from Council? Bird: No. S.Weekes: Again, thanks. De Weerd: Okay. Any further -- yes, ma'am. Atwood: Hi. De Weerd: Good evening. Meridian City Council June 3, 2014 Page 22 of 44 Atwood: I'm Cindy Atwood. 2290 Verbena Drive, Meridian. And I just kind of want to reiterate what everyone else said, but the thing I want to add is what I had mentioned last time was, you know, the barter that was done to keep the school off of a main road and I don't think that we should put less emphasis on the safety of our children now than we did then -- or than the city did then. I just think that's huge and I think, again, that that's a huge reason not to come into our subdivision, because there is just no way to do that without the traffic endangering the children. Thank you for your time. De Weerd: Thank you, Cindy. Okay. Any further testimony? Yes, sir Dawson: Hi. How are you guys doing today? De Weerd: Good. Yes. Dawson: First of all, thank you so much for the opportunity to get to speak to you guys. I appreciate all the neighborhood being here to show your support for each other and for this further development. De Weerd: Can I get your name first? Dawson: Oh, I am so sorry. De Weerd: That's all right. I do know your name. You're an FFA star. Dawson: Janeen Dawson. 2035 Waltman Street. I'd like to thank the applicant for considering what we said earlier at the previous meeting and for making those changes, we really do appreciate you guys attempting to work with us. Along those lines, however, I would like to address some issues that I still see. First and foremost, it was brought up at the meeting before about more specified wording. I understand that there is going to be some issues with that considering we don't have a developer in, all we have is the owner of the property and so specific wording is going to be really hard to maintain right now, but as specific of wording as possible would be much appreciated by the applicant. Furthermore, I just want to relate concrete language, instead of ambiguous pacifications are what we are looking for. We want concrete language here that's going to be solid and firm -- a firm type of communication that we can really grab onto and work from. In terms of the process, I would just like to reiterate that the zoning board is defined as a board or commission under a city's governing body, such as a city council, whose purpose is to separate incompatible uses of land and protect the character of a community. I'm looking at this map and I see the attempts to protect the character of our small community and, once again, I'd like to commend the applicant on that. However, I do see some concerns with the connection of Waltman to -- to the Ten Mile Center and maybe some modification to look at that. And that brings me to my final point about transparency. I don't know if you guys have noticed, but I have a huge miscommunication between the applicant, the neighborhood, the people impacted by this project, and between you guys. I have seen -- I have seen neighbors come up here -- my own neighbors come up here and say, well, we weren't given this information and Meridian City Council June 3, 2014 Page 23 of 44 we are confused and you guys are shaking your head at some of the things they are saying and it makes me wonder about the communication that's being held between all the different parties. I would like to press the applicant for -- I would like to put them responsible for communicating and making sure everybody who is impacted -- not just the people within the 300 feet of the center, but the entire neighborhood is going to be impacted. I press them with the responsibility of communicating with us and giving us the information that we need, so we are not wasting your guys' time. When we come up here and we rant and rave about issues that we don't fully understand because of a lack of information, we can't reach a full and well crafted compromise that's going to benefit both parties. I think that a compromise and cooperation is what is specifically needed for this project. If you have us fighting you this project is not going to be launched as peacefully and successfully as it can be. I think this Ten Mile Center could potentially be a great asset for Meridian if it's implemented in a correct way through working with -- in cooperation with our neighborhood and people who it's impacting. That's all I have to say. Thank you guys. De Weerd: Thank you. Any further testimony? Yes. Johnson: Good evening. De Weerd: Good evening. Johnson: Jennifer Johnson. 2035 Waltman Street. I just kind of want to touch on a few things about the Thursday morning information that we had and how it changed by Thursday night. We have a copy of both and I noticed on the Thursday morning copy it talked about being supportive of the neighborhood -- the neighborhood surrounding the -- or in front of the -- or our neighborhood. Sorry. And that was totally taken out and I wanted to thank you guys for all the questions you guys asked and really talking about this subject and getting some stuff kind of nailed down for us. So, I want to talk a little bit about what I said about impact fees. I know this is not the right time for that, eventually at some point this is all going to impact these other neighbors, besides just the three houses on the north side. Down lower past Lilac -- if you go past Waltman, turn on Lilac and south you have a straightaway shot on Verbena that goes into another subdivision and it's not on this map. So, this neighborhood is affected as well and they didn't get a letter, you know. We sent out fliers -- the people that you did get letters so the people would know about it. So, you're going to have like two straightaways that go straight through Lilac and, then, right up to where it hooks into the new subdivision. So, I can agree with everybody that we need to kind of keep that road closed, maybe make emergency vehicle access only. I don't think it should open at all until we figure out, you know, if we even need to open it. I think that's an ACHD thing. We are not getting any type of wording on how they are going to support us or -- or what's going to be our side and what's going to be theirs or -- we don't know anything about that. So, those are just questions I have. I don't think there was good verbiage. I don't think it was clear. Councilman Zaremba talked about making sure there was language in there and I really appreciate that. So, if we could just maybe look at that a little harder I'd really appreciate it. Thanks again for your time. Meridian City Council June 3, 2014 Page 24 of 44 De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. Anything -- yes. Kromrei: Hi. De Weerd: Good evening. Kromrei: My name is Tonja Kromrie. I live at 2110 Waltman. I'm one of the three properties right next to the property that's going to be developed and when my husband and I purchased the property we knew this was going to be developed and we love the open space, so we know it's going to happen and we are open to that, but I agree with what's being said tonight and I hope that you would listen to that and take that into consideration. Thanks for your time. De Weerd: Thank you. Is there any further testimony? Would the applicant like to wrap this up? McKay: Becky McKay. We spent quite a bit of time taking two different approaches to the problems that the Council discussed at the last meeting. One was to get more specific with the DA and come up with additional provisions that would, obviously, guarantee that we had single family development next to the estate residential, that there was limitation on density and appropriate transitioning as intensities increase and go westward. We sent the -- the applicant's attorney sent some draft provisions over to Sonya. She looked at them. They met on them. And, then, it was kind of determined, well, you know, instead of trying to make sure that we have incorporated every little provision in there, wouldn't it make more sense just to increase the R-8 zone completely across and adjacent to the estate residential. Then in the R-8 zone we -- we included -- we have added 4.89 additional acres of R-8, so we have only R-8 that would abut the existing residential. We agree to maximum of 75 dwellings on the 18.2 acres, which sets the maximum density. That's the maximum. And when I laid it out that's pretty much -- for single family detached, that's pretty much about the most you can get on there, because you have got the canal and pathways and, then, we will have landscape requirements of ten percent and buffering. When I -- when I put my open space adjacent to Waltman it fit perfectly. It was nice. It was usable. It was square. I buffered lots and backed them up. As far as that connection to Waltman, that's not my choice. I don't care whether it's there or it is not. In fact, our development will have excellent access to a new interchange, to a five lane arterial. Franklin is being rebuilt to a four lane arterial. I mean we are going to have multiple points of access. So, the issue will be in the future is there a connection to Waltman and how is that connection made, so that it is not detrimental to their neighborhood. But at this time it's premature to make a decision to connect, to not connect. It may be determined by ACHD in the future, the city, traffic studies, let's just have a pedestrian connection to Waltman. That's not out of the question. It could happen. I have seen it before. The fact that there is a school -- elementary school on Waltman -- typically they like to have both pedestrian and vehicular, but there is no reason that it can't be studied in depth and I think that makes sense to me. I'm not disagreeing with the neighbors. As far as the Meridian City Council June 3, 2014 Page 25 of 44 maximum density, the 300, that's coming as far as the C -G, the TN -C, how that's done is, obviously, going to be determined and you will see a -- we have consulted with some residential experts on how to transition and how best to treat this as far as these different zones. So, we have got a good -- we think a good perspective on how this is going to be approached. I guess what we are doing here tonight is to, basically, say these are the zones, these are consistent with your Ten Mile plan. This is the first step in a multi -step process and we will be back with plats, with development plans, with traffic studies, with landscape plans. The Ten Mile plan is very specific in this area and it is the guiding document. I mean I think that's why we spent so much time and effort and you guys spent so much money on it, that it would definitely guide development and that plan already takes into consideration that there is estate residential in this vicinity and you shall provide appropriate transitioning, that we have to provide open space. I think this is achievable. I can't give them every little specific answer, although I'd like to, but it's -- at this time that's just not possible, but what is important is that we get this transportation system built and we get this annexation approved. Thank you. De Weerd: Council, any questions? Bird: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Bird. Bird: Beck, I -- I don't see where that connection helps you guys at all McKay: No, sir. Bird: And I think once this is developed out there there is going to be some people -- if we -- if we deny that connection there is going to be some people in that area that's going to be very upset that it don't have a connection and especially when we get the overpass over Linder and the traffic on Linder triples and while it's wide, but if you had -- I would have no problem with just putting a right of way there and not putting the road in at this time, just have a path -- a pedestrian path. That -- that seems to be the big hold up right now with the people out there and I understand them, their concerns and stuff. They have -- you know, most of them have lived out there quite awhile and it's been a residential community deal, but, you know, we have only been planning this Ten Mile deal for I don't know how many years and spent a lot of money and stuff on it and -- but I understand theirs and I don't see where that road connection helps you guys at all. McKay: No, sir. You're absolutely correct. We are just basically doing what ACHD told me they wanted to see, but -- I mean it could be removed from this with a note that it will be analyzed in the future when a detailed site plan comes back -- you know, come before the public hearings. I -- I don't think that that's a problem. We -- we have these big collectors and I guess that's what I'm concerned about, that we get these right of ways and get these things built, so this area has potential. Rountree: Madam Mayor? Meridian City Council June 3, 2014 Page 26 of 44 De Weerd: Mr. Rountree Rountree: Becky, you just spoke a little bit about some open space and had laid some out. What in particular are you talking about? McKay: So, what I did, Councilman Rountree, is I had -- I had different concepts where I have landscape buffering, 20 feet of easement, just like it was a collector and, then, all of this area where we have this depth ended up open space and, then, I had it coming into the subdivision here and, then, these were just single family lots just like that and, then, there is single family lots here and all the way around and so we were creating kind of a neighborhood and, then, what -- what remained to be seen is, then, my plan was to try to take, you know, any development here to come back -- De Weerd: Hold on, Becky. Do they not have the same screen we see? McKay: Oh. There we go. So, this -- this ended up, Councilman Rountree, about 60 some thousand square feet of -- right in there and that was like a good spot. It's a spot that benefits both our single family, would benefit theirs, would create a nice corridor look on Waltman, in addition to the landscaping along here and, then, I had landscaping on both sides -- Cops. Both sides of that entrance roadway and, then, a landscape median. So, that's kind of how I approached it. That's one approach. Rountree: Yeah. Use red or green. I can't see either one of them. McKay: How is that? So, then, that is open -- that is open space. Landscaped areas. Manicured areas all along here and along each side and the center island. And, then, these are just lots and the same here. These are single family lots all along here. So, as you can see, you know, we have -- we have Whitestone here, they have a stub street also, so just providing interconnection. That traffic is going to come out and go like this and we brought it through here. But also I had another one where we took the street straight across. I mean there is different -- there is multiple options. The property is of a size that it's an infinite number of options, but I think the key is, you know, appropriate transitioning with the R-8 zone and R-8 is the way to guarantee that that's going to be single family dwellings. They are not going to get three or four story apartments, they will get either a one or a two story single family dwelling adjacent to them. Rountree: And on that point, if we made that clear in the development agreement -- right now it just says residential units. To me that -- you name it and that covers it, so if you're not adverse to saying single family residential units -- McKay: That acceptable. Yes, sir Rountree: Okay. McKay: That is acceptable. Meridian City Council June 3, 2014 Page 27 of 44 Rountree: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Uh-huh. Rountree: The open space concept that you demonstrated, I would like to see some kind of an attachment or some language similar to that in the DA and I'm sure that's going to be modified somewhat depending on whether or not we or ACHD moves forward with a connection there. McKay: Yes, sir. I do have -- I do have it. I can provide it to staff Rountree: All right. That's the only comments -- or questions I have now. I do want to make a comment that I heard numerous times about transparency. The City Council only receives the information that you all received tonight. We have no ex parte communications with the developer or staff as this goes through the process. So, whatever you might have seen in an interim basis we have not seen and I will ask staff if there is anything in there that might be beneficial that we do need to hear, but we haven't seen it and just so you know, we don't go in the back room and talk about this. So, I just want to make that point clear. And, Becky, I might have another question for you, but I don't at this point. Thank you. Madam Mayor, I do have a question for Sonya. The information that bounced back and forth, are we missing something in that piece that we might want to know? Watters: Madam Mayor, Councilman Rountree, I believe what Jeanette referenced was that the applicant's attorney had submitted a draft -- draft provisions to the development agreement for changes. After that was submitted to the city staff and the applicant worked together to refine those provisions. Becky touched on it a little bit. We spoke about originally the DA provisions were going to include a whole bunch of restrictions on what could be developed in the TN -R and TN -C district. After discussing it internally and with the applicant we agreed upon just extending the R-8 zoning so that there wouldn't have to be all these restrictions. The development would essentially be compatible with the R-8 district. It seemed to make more sense to us and cleaner than - and would get what the neighbors wanted. I did send an e-mail out to Mrs. Ockerman I believe it was late Thursday that had the revised development agreement provisions that was discussed between the applicant and staff that we landed on. It included a memo that also went out to the Council. I did omit the exhibit map that showed the new zoning by accident. I just -- I looked it up and I just realized it was not on there. To address another comment you made, Mr. Rountree, on the -- the uses that are allowed in the R-8 district, only single family dwellings and townhomes are allowed in that district. Multi -family is a prohibited use. So, as it sits the R-8 district does now allow multi -family, just for clarification. Any other questions for me? Rountree: No, not -- De Weerd: Mr. Zaremba. Meridian City Council June 3, 2014 Page 28 of 44 Zaremba: I would like to ask a question of our police and fire representatives if I may and the subject is the connectivity. I know a lot of things get blamed on ACHD, but connectivity is also important to the city and our first responders in that they may sometimes need to connect or find a place that fire or police need to go and the direction they are coming from they need to be able to get there the quickest way they can. So, my -- this is a long question, but it has been already mentioned that a lot of work went into the Ten Mile area plan, which does show this connectivity that was the end result of that plan. My question to the first responders is how important is connectivity to police and fire and EMT and in this specific case would it hamper your ability to respond if that were not there? Lavey: I can answer. Madam Mayor, Councilman Zaremba, any concerns that we have over this plan are addressed to staff in the staff report. Hearing that there was none brought in front of Council, we have no concerns about connectivity. In fact, this proposal has more connections than most connections -- or most that we actually see. So, I don't foresee us having any problems getting into this development. Palmer: And I would echo what the chief said. In addition, based on our current station locations and even the future locations, this will not cause any problems for us as far as routing into the different areas for response. Zaremba: Madam Mayor? I just want to clarify. You're saying that if that connection were not there you would be okay. Thank you. De Weerd: And so I guess without that connection how do the families get to school? I know we all think they would walk, but I can guarantee you they don't. So, that is -- that's why I'm sure ACHD and staff asked for that connection. If you put in densities that will add to the school population, how do the families, then, get to the school, so -- any additional questions from Council? Borton: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Yes. Borton: I do have a question for Mrs. McKay. De Weerd: And before we ask Mrs. McKay up, Ryan, could I ask you -- and I know -- again, we will not kill the messenger. If you will state your name and address for the record. Head: Ryan Head, Ada County Highway District. 3775 Adams Street, Garden City, Idaho. De Weerd: Now, staff did talk about ACHD comments pertaining to this and this -- this new proposal with the T that's in front of Council tonight, but what -- so what I didn't Meridian City Council June 3, 2014 Page 29 of 44 hear is the improvement to the south of that street would not be made and what is ACHD's plans -- if this connection is to remain how is that street going to be improved? Head: Sure. At this point in time the proposal is for where we would look to make the sidewalk connection on the north side of Waltman and that we wouldn't make an improvement on the south side of Waltman unless it were requested by the city at a later date. Of note in this particular case that is a local road. I know there is concern with cut -through traffic being a situation here. If there is cut -through traffic ACHD does have a program to provide traffic calming on local roadways that could address some of those situations. Obviously, it doesn't address your question of how would we address the south side, but that would be where we would look for some -- some community programs type request either from the city or the neighborhood to make that improvement on the south side of that road. De Weerd: I don't know how that could be classified a local road if the density that is being considered as part of this has to use that to get to school, because, again, unfortunately, I have lived by Linder Elementary and Ponderosa. Kids don't walk, they get their parents to drive them to school, and that is a problem and if you talk to the principal at that school she will tell you it's a problem, getting parents to let their kids walk to school. So, with the densities that are being contemplated in here, those cars are going to use that road and by not -- if we keep a connection there will be parents that use that road and it will be a very busy road. Not requiring an improvement to that road when any residences goes in would -- would not be good planning. Head: I appreciate that and at this point in time what we are trying to address and what the off-site improvements we are proposing and offering to pay for at the time that we actually receive a plat or an application that we actually can have -- we have authority besides just advisory authority on, is that we would provide a sidewalk -- a continuous sidewalk completely on the north side of the roadway, which would provide a safe place for students to walk. Just looking at this in preparation for this meeting, if -- if there was someone that lived in the Ten Mile Creek area that wanted to drive to the school -- ultimately it's about a two mile drive -- that they would have to go around to get to the school. Or someone who lived in the -- in the -- off of Waltman who wanted to go to the shopping in Ten Mile Creek area, would have about a two mile drive. That's a lot of wear and tear that's unnecessary. That's emissions. There is a lot of things that -- that that connectivity is beneficial and that's why ACHD has that policy. It's something we require in really all development and why there is stub streets -- we look to make those improvements and we have done that through the planning efforts with the city. De Weerd: And I do understand that, because when I bought my first house in Meridian I lived -- I was the first house on the stub street and just down from Linder Elementary. Ours became that only half mile connection point and I lived with the traffic that resided in front of it. By not requiring the south side of that street to be improved with any kind of housing if that road is connected, again, all I can say is that's not good planning and to wait until some community development or community programs might fund it, it's always too late then, when you know it's going to happen. Meridian City Council June 3, 2014 Page 30 of 44 Head: I recognize that, Madam Mayor, and I'm not here to argue that that isn't the case. The situation is really -- we have many -- many issues where development is occurring. The funds where this would come from are going to pay -- would pay for those -- that small section of sidewalk -- are funds that also could be used for any other sidewalk improvement or any other priorities that the cities have. It's a matter of financial capacity at some point in time. It's -- we can't make every single improvement that's needed with every single development that comes through, we just have limitations that we are trying to address. The other priorities -- both you as a city, as well as the other cities and our partners throughout the county have and so it's a financial capacity issue. So, if we can at least provide one safe connection that will provide an option for people to walk we -- we will do that in time and ultimately to the level or higher priorities for all of our partners. De Weerd: So, do you think that the road is an adequate width then? I mean you're talking about just a sidewalk. Is the road itself sufficient to carry the kind of traffic that -- and I know you don't know what that is until you get a plat, but when you see the densities that are being contemplated you -- you probably have a good idea. Is that road capable of handling that amount of traffic? Head: Madam Mayor, as you mentioned -- De Weerd: And I know I could answer my own question. Head: -- we are speaking very speculative here, but ultimately if we think of -- and look at this -- this particular area, the attraction, as was mentioned by Councilman Rountree, the attraction for those living in Ten Mile Creek to go through that way -- there is not going to be a high priority. There is no overpass at Linder. There is not a lot of places to go. I know it's been a concern of the neighborhood, people coming from the east to cut through there to go to the interchange. Again, that's where we have traffic calming -- if there are a significant amount of cut -through we would try to put in things that would discourage that kind of cut -through going that direction. Ultimately the primary use of this would be people accessing the school or -- or members -- citizens who live in the community were trying to go to the shopping. So, I think the concern -- while there may be some increase, I don't think the increases are going to be as substantial as might be concerned. Obviously, connections create more people coming through, but we have options for trying to address the cut -through that could come. De Weerd: Thank you, Ryan. Okay. I'm sorry, Becky, I know that Councilman Borton has a question for you. Borton: Thanks, Becky. As I go through the notes from May 6 and through today and what we have heard -- I have one long question for you and I will kind of read through it. They were remarks that were made about -- from Mr. Davis and yourself about this project obviously not coming forward with a plat. It's a property that there was -- there is no debt on the property, there is no plat, because there is no anchor tenant. We Meridian City Council June 3, 2014 Page 31 of 44 learned about some of the background behind the project and we learned about the -- the property to the south that was brought into the city that changed the community or the lifestyle center component of the -- of the Ten Mile plan. We heard last discussion from the public confusion or lack of clarity, maybe a lack of understanding on transition plans. We have heard today discussions about the roadway network, what may or may not be particularly appropriate capacity, whether there should be a connection or not. I have heard in marked words -- key words sometimes jump out and a couple that came up in context of these discussions were the word premature in relation to discussing whether or not there should be a connection at the Waltman location. ACHD has used the phrase speculative when trying to really articulate the amount of traffic that might be generated. A lot of the -- the problems we are struggling with -- at least the way I perceive it -- seems to come from the lack of clarity, because we are not bringing a plat with this and so many of the issues -- because that -- I have no doubt -- you know, I know your work, I know Mr. Davis, I have no doubt that the two of you mean what you say, but without a plat a lot of the confusion and ambiguity, that's not intentional, it's just a byproduct of the way this is presented without a plat. So, the long question to you is how do I get comfortable in approving an annexation of this magnitude in reliance on the Ten Mile plan, which admittedly is much less specific than what we would see with a plat. In light of the fact there is no immediate urgency with a particular business deal or a tenant or some -- why don't we wait and bring this with a plat, which -- which will help staff, ACHD, and the public answer so many of the questions that we are kind of forcing right now. McKay: Madam Mayor, Councilman Borton, we -- the Council and the Mayor struggled with that very question on the west side of Ten Mile and something that is unique and that we have never faced before in the City of Meridian or in any of the other municipalities, is the fact that with that Ten Mile specific area plan the collector roadways, the street sections, the type of pedestrian accesses were all predetermined in that plan. Now -- so, you say, well, so -- well, they did not match ownership boundaries. It was like this area was a blank slate and the one known thing was the interchange and, then, there were these different parcels on both the west and the east side of Ten Mile that the Council wanted -- they wanted a vision, because this interchange was going to provide opportunity and in order to keep it from coming in in a piecemeal fashion and not being able to construct signals as development went through or utilize roundabouts, the Council took a proactive approach and said we are going to show where those roundabouts are going to go, we are going to show where the signals will be located. We are going to put provisions in here that restrict access on the arterials, because we want this area at the Ten Mile interchange to be different than any other place in Meridian, that we have a guiding document that says what type of uses. It guarantees that properties are not all commercial or all retail, that they have mixtures of office, multi -family, that we have -- it encourages corporate campuses and one of the limitations that nobody foresaw was the fact that these collector roadways cross ownership boundaries -- no one property could develop without the cooperation of the other. So, that was our huge challenge on the west side and how we approach that challenge was we got the developer -- or the owners -- property owners, because they weren't -- not all of them were developers -- to dedicate right of way. We got ITD to put Meridian City Council June 3, 2014 Page 32 of 44 trust money into a fund at ACHD to build a -- part of a future collector signal and, then, these owners all grouped together and we came through with an annexation and we looked at the Ten Mile plan, the Council discussed it, and these designations -- they don't necessarily -- there is bands of different uses, but they are going to vary a little bit based on the properties. So, if this property -- if we wait Brighton has a problem. They can't build this continuous collector system with the rotary, the rotary -- two rotaries are shared with us. So, my client said instead of sitting on the bench here and, then, having Brighton come to me and say dedicate this, we need these right of ways dedicated, we want you to participate in building these roadways and roundabouts, he said let's be proactive, let's take that first step of conceptual planning and they hired CHQA, myself, Deb Nelson and so we took this problem and came up with a solutions, which was the same solution we came up with on the west side, that I'm convinced is the only way Ten Mile can develop. Otherwise the property -- you can't get all the interconnectivity from Ten Mile to Franklin. We can't go on the -- the scale that you guys envisioned and we have a roadmap -- we are following the roadmap. If we wait until we have every four foot parking spot designed and a plat it's going to be down the road and, then, I guess Brighton will have to sit and -- you know, and try to figure out how to do it in a piecemeal fashion. But that's not what the vision was. So, that's why we tried to become proactive. We want to get the pieces of the first piece of that puzzle put in place and my client said if they need the right of ways, the roundabouts, I -- I'm going to step up and that's what we are doing. He can't just sit and allow everything to develop around him, because it's going to limit how that development takes place. So, this is a different animal and the Council -- you know, they weighed this on the west side of Ten Mile and that annexation, you know, with just the roadway network, it worked and I think here now that we are starting to steam forward after the great recession I think you're going to see some great things happen out there, because there is so many opportunities that aren't available anywhere else in the city because of your plan -- your Ten Mile plan. Borton: Thank you. De Weerd: But I think, Becky, the reason that it worked on the west is because there weren't any residences, existing neighborhoods that were impacted by it and so this is different. McKay: Madam Mayor, you're correct. We did not have any estate residential. It was primarily all agricultural. There might have been a few -- you know, five or ten acre parcels, but, yes, this -- this adds a layer of complexity and that's why I think having that R-8 zone is the way to go. De Weerd: Any further questions from Council? Borton: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Borton. Meridian City Council June 3, 2014 Page 33 of 44 Borton: Back to some of the earlier -- the coloring you were doing. I apologize if I didn't catch it correctly, but you were -- yes. On that one -- on the southeast corner of the new R-8 -- McKay: Yes, sir. Borton: -- if you could circle it to make sure we are talking about the same McKay: The southeast corner right here? Borton: Yes. That -- you scribbled in that whole portion of R-8 -- it looked like one color and, then, I -- it sounded like you said the whole thing was open space? McKay: Sir, everything we had -- oops. We are required to have ten percent open space for any R-8 single family development. So, that's a given. That's part of the code. So, when I laid this out I took that open space and strategically placed it and it made sense and I linked it to this development and put it in here. Borton: So, the McKay: That's -- that was -- when I did my -- kind of my conceptual layout how that would work, trying to envision how to, basically, integrate our single family with their single family, so it would be one -- you would be going from one single family development to another. Borton: Sure. McKay: And, then, that open space linked the two neighbors and created that residential atmosphere. Borton: Madam Mayor? So -- and I apologize if I -- if I didn't capture it, but how is what you -- what you marked in the red, how is that reflected in the development agreement or otherwise to note that that's, in fact, going to be the location of that open space? Normally it would be depicted on a plat, so -- McKay: Initially when -- when we came up with our draft -- more detailed provisions it included I think usable open space -- wasn't it, Sonya? Wasn't there something about that? And, then, when we went to the R-8, then, that was taken out. Now, obviously, that could be added as a provision. I think, you know, Councilman Rountree made that comment, you know, some type of usable open space transitioning and linking the two R-8 single family developments together. Davis: Thank you. Eric Davis. 199 North Capital, Suite 300, Boise. Listen, I -- this has been a very healthy process for three sessions now and I believe -- you know, I think -- as Councilman Borton phrased this -- we are doing the best we can with what we don't have. I mean we don't have the plan. We don't have the anchor store. We don't have Meridian City Council June 3, 2014 Page 34 of 44 the university campus. We are trying to think as big as we can with open arms, being cooperative with the neighbors -- our commercial neighbors and being as cooperative as we can with the residential neighbors -- who, by the way, I would like to compliment for being as well organized and articulate and professional as they have been. And it's been agonizing to sit there and not be able to say, well, we will do this and we will do that, because this is not the venue for that. This is a zoning venue and we take -- we take faith that within the zone designation in the city code there is enough, you know, meat on the bones to guide our plans when the time comes. And so just backing up a little bit on this R-8, two weeks ago after we -- you know -- or after last month. But two weeks ago we hired a consultant to come in and we said, look, you know, the neighbor -- and we saw the video again on TV and everything and the apartment buildings and I said this is what they are concerned about, so we want to address these concerns. So, this individual, who is pretty well credentialed with the Urban Land Institute sat in the office and went through a whole bunch of things that were height restrictions, density restrictions, and Deb sat there and she wrote it all out and, then, it occurred to us, well, the R-8 zone -- and that's where the open thing -- we were talking about that and so it got to the point where we were being so specific it really wasn't the right -- we were going to have this big glob in the development agreement that would be hard to interpret, so we went to the R-8 and the idea is that we will have a very nice single family row of homes that follow all the guidelines for open space -- integrated open space -- you know, nicely landscaped. This -- a Harris Ranch type of a thing. So, we are hoping that that's the transition between the residential and the other transitions that we have to have between there and where we get into the commercial, which, you know, Brighton has right there in our backyard, so -- anyway, back on the big picture, I just -- I just hope that we can keep that concept in mind. It would be so great to be able to go the Brighton -- have a meeting with Brighton someday and Cal -Non and say, hey, guys, we have a 250 acre, you know, thing that we can do here if we work together. And we are left out. In fact, you know, the option of doing nothing anymore is beyond us. I mean this curved entrance drive that comes in off of Ten Mile that Mirazim has is far from ideal and it's a consequence of not getting involved soon enough, so -- anyway, I stand for anymore questions. But I had -- I was just gushing back there, I couldn't stop -- De Weerd: So, Eric, I think what the issue is here is we are used to seeing annexations without plats in a C -G. We are not used to seeing annexations and zoning for residential and TN -C and TN -R, which is different, and that's when we see a plat with an annexation request at that time. Then on residential the neighbors that will have an impact have an idea of what they even want to testify about, because there is detail that they can actually get their arms around and understand. That's the disconnect here is it's one thing in a C -G, because we know that whether you're looking at an employment campus or -- or the commercial aspect of it, it is fluid. But not in -- in these areas that have a residential aspect to it and it backs up to residential. When we get those we get a plat and that informs the neighbors of what to expect and that's -- that's the difference and that's the struggle of -- of what we are trying to do and if you could split that in two and say we will ask for annexation to the C -G areas and we won't until we have the details on the back side of it. I don't know. But that's -- that's where you're getting the Meridian City Council June 3, 2014 Page 35 of 44 conundrum of those up here who are being asked to make a decision and to the neighbors who have no idea what to expect, other than red, light gray, and dark gray, so -- and it's that unknown that -- that is concerning and so I just wanted to give you some context of where we are coming from, too, is -- and that is why we like plats with annexation requests, so we know, too. Davis: I appreciate that. De Weerd: So, any questions for Mr. Davis? Rountree: Madam Mayor, you bring up an interesting potential and ask Eric is any thought given to parcels -- and I don't know how the owner goes, but the -- the adjacent properties about two-thirds of the way through there being annexed and that that transitions into a combination of commercial, residential, be annexed at a later date, based on what you might get in the commercial? Davis: Well, yeah, it -- I would -- I mean originally we wanted to have a little more commercial and the trans -- the TN -C and the TN -R are transitional, just as a buffer, because we -- you know, we are trying to get from residential into commercial and -- and it works well that way and I know that there are things in play with Cal -Non's property and it would be nice to be able to participate with them. The R-8 --I mean it's inevitable that the back -- we have always known that the back of the property would be residential, just like that, but how much, I -- you know, I think this is a good balance if we had a -- if you wanted to wait and zone the R-8 later, but I would -- for that, what you're talking about, I would include the TN -C and the TN -R as something we could depend on now and plan for, you know, density wise and whatnot. So, it would be a little awkward, You know. I don't know where these roads are really going to be. De Weerd: So, what was the phasing plan on this in -- in your thoughts you planned it, how were you looking at phasing it? From Ten Mile in or -- sometimes what we find is quite the reverse that you do the residential first and work out and that wouldn't work in this case at all. Davis: Well, you know, it -- you know, we -- our block is Cal -Non up at the top side, but -- and they are not making any progress toward annexation as far as I know. But on the commercial, you know, development instinct -- good practice is to go as far back on the site, plat that, and then, come back out toward the front, not contaminate the front with a bunch of little pads and that -- you'd lose -- you know, you want the big gorilla first. Your main event, put that in the -- as far back on the site and work your way towards the street. Or have -- you know, this middle part is 40 acres, with C -G in the middle it's 40, that could be one type of product and another type of product on the C -G on the front. But it's just a blank slate at this point and I -- it will be market driven. I mean I -- De Weerd: But when you say you start in the back, you were talking the C -G, not necessarily -- Meridian City Council June 3, 2014 Page 36 of 44 Davis: Yes. De Weerd: Okay. Davis: And the TN -C would be a buffer between the C -G and TN -R and the TN -R would be a buffer to the R-8. That's -- that's just -- for the blending that's, again, suggested by the -- you know, the plans, so -- Milam: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mrs. Milam. Milam: So, I know that they are not going to like this very much, but -- so one thought -- and I don't know -- would be to -- from the back of the C -G -- well, it might as a buffer. But I was going to say since the main concern is the TN -C and the TN -R to the neighbors -- it's not the R-8. So, what if we zoned the whole back section R-8 -- or R-8 and R-15 and, then, once they have a DA they can come in for a zoning change to TN -C when they have a specific plan. Is that possible? De Weerd: If you want me to answer it I could. It doesn't hold any weight. I don't know. Staff, do you have anything -- any ideas about -- Chatterton: Madam Mayor, it would be a bit of a complicated proposition effectively -- as you know, you couldn't bind the future council, including yourselves, to another zoning after -- essentially what we would talk about is a holding zone, giving the entitlement -- giving the developer or the owner a bit of a leg up and, then, moving to a larger entitlement later. It would be a complicated way of doing it and, of course, no guarantees that you would have the -- the outcome that the applicant is looking for. I don't know if the city attorney has any thoughts on this or not. De Weerd: There you go, Mr. Baird. Baird: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, Council Member Milam. What I'm struggling with is that you have an applicant for a specific zone -- Bird: That's right. Baird: -- and really it's your job to act on an application up or down. If you think that there is some way that you could find it acceptable you can make a suggestion and ask them to come back and propose something to you, but for you to impose a zoning that they haven't requested I think is troublesome. So, that's the only comments I have at this point. Borton: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Yes. Mr. Borton Meridian City Council June 3, 2014 Page 37 of 44 Borton: Sorry. I didn't -- to Councilman Rountree's point, if the -- if one option might be to bring this only in one parcel -- partial parcel to the entire project and annex that -- for example, if the C -G or the C -G component and the TN -C -- maybe the TN -C and the TN -R -- if some or all of that came in as a separate annexation without a plat, the manner in which we are doing it now -- and I think this may be what they are -- what he was getting at -- and, then, the R-8 component or whatever you deem appropriate for that west -- or most eastern portion comes in with a separate annexation with a separate plat, is that idea remotely -- Davis: You mean just not zone the R-8? Leave it -- just leave it -- Borton: I'm not saying where the line necessarily should be drawn, but that's clearly where the majority of the challenges where we are confronting that transition and the lack of clarify, because we don't have a plat and to the Mayor's point, you know, the C -Gs have been zoned -- or, excuse me, have been annexed without plats. It is somewhat a different animal. It obviously greatly impacts your application today I understand, but -- Davis: It's been a long haul with approvals all along the way and staff support all along the way and -- and we are here because of some miscommunication on the back 14 acres. Borton: And you're free to say Councilman I think that's a bad idea and we won't do it. Davis: We have gone so far with this, I would like to take action and I really -- to stand here and make a deal, I don't have the mental capacity to do, that's why we have the liaisons and I think -- I would love to strike something, but I don't think it would be binding now anyway, you know. Ideally we would have the TN -C and a TN -R would be commercial and we did that as an accommodation to meet the Ten Mile plan, so -- Borton: Okay. McKay: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I mean I can see the quandary and from a planning perspective I would just come across like this: This depth is 300 feet and all of this would be R-8 like that. So, there is a large band of R-8 that wraps all the way around and, then, that would provide ample area for transitioning as far as this development is concerned and that's -- that's about 21 acres, because I did -- I did go through and calculate it. We don't show the roads, just that band of R-8 as far as connection to Waltman. Kind a good solution. There is only one way it can develop is with a loop street on the back side. There is different ideas and that's just single family lots with a loop connection and interconnecting the Whitestone to the north and whether that southern connection is or how that connection is is to be determined. But that would -- that would be a clean -- in my opinion transition right there. Meridian City Council June 3, 2014 Page 38 of 44 De Weerd: Okay. Any further questions, Council? If Council wants further testimony. I think we have kind of -- Milam: If it's something different. Bird: I don't think that it would be different. Be the same stuff. Milam: I think one more. Maybe one more. De Weerd: Okay. Council? Cavener: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Yes. Cavener: In light of the significant amount of testimony I don't have any issues hearing from our citizens if they need to add a piece, as long as they believe that it's -- it's critical to the information that's being presented here tonight. De Weerd: If it pertains to the conversation since we kind of closed the public hearing, yes. Baird: Madam Mayor, is the hearing open? De Weerd: It's still open, but we did conclude that portion of it. Baird: Exactly and we do have a routine that the applicant always does get the last word, of course, so they will have a chance to respond. De Weerd: Yes. That's correct. Baird: So, I think you're fine proceeding. De Weerd: Yes, ma'am. If you will state your name again for the record. Ockerman: Jeanette Ockerman. 2070 West Waltman Street, Meridian, Idaho. De Weerd: Thank you. Ockerman: I appreciate all of the alternatives that both the City Council and the applicant are presenting. There are lots of options. I feel like there is one more that no one has even mentioned that might be a possibility, because one of our concerns, obviously, is the traffic on this road and it keeps coming back to the school and access to the school. Right in this corner where they have got -- and I don't know how to mark on here -- where they have got their little pathway, why could that not be a roadway into the school, so that there isn't so much congestion from traffic going in and out. It gives Meridian City Council June 3, 2014 Page 39 of 44 them an alternative access out of the school for buses or for parents and virtually keeps it off of our road. Then we don't have such an issue with TN -R and TN -C and how high the densities are and how they are going to impact the road trying to get their kids to school. De Weerd: It will not be an option. The school district has got to restrict the access into their campuses and they -- they never have more than two access and they have two now. So, I don't see that as a viable option. Ockerman: Okay. Well, appreciate that De Weerd: I'm just -- I hate to answer for the school district, but I do know that school campus security is huge and we work with them all the time on that and I don't think that would be an option at all, because it would -- Ockerman: Because it would -- that path goes right into the parking lot. De Weerd: A pathway, yes. Vehicles, no. Ockerman: No. De Weerd: Yeah. Ockerman: Yeah. And we still have the issues with the density then. De Weerd: Yeah. Ockerman: Thank you. De Weerd: Thank you. Again, we don't want to create -- but if there is additional testimony to the new discussions since -- yes. If you have something to say. Good evening. Telliho: Good evening. De Weerd: If you will, please, state your name and address for the record Telliho: Rich Telliho. 1885 Waltman Street, Meridian. De Weerd: Thank you, Rich. Telliho: I really kind of wanted to expand on some of the stuff Jeanette was just mentioning. There has been a couple of options -- and this is -- really seems to be little more flexible tonight as far as give and take, but I hear a couple options about that connectivity to Waltman and there was like a walking path or limitations or not having it at all. You seemed to address one concern about how are parents going to get their Meridian City Council June 3, 2014 Page 40 of 44 kids to school, because kids don't really walk anymore and I agree with you a hundred percent, but we are talking about maybe a thousand feet to the school and there is going to be the walking path that goes to the school and, then, a sidewalk along Waltman. I mean that seems to be pretty good access from that location to the school. If the parents still want to drive their kids they can exercise that option, but by making them go out to Franklin and around, wouldn't that be kind of -- more a natural deterrent? And the other thing is this Primrose Subdivision is kind of -- it's -- with the increasing popularity of motorcycles putting in speed bumps, which is what I'm thinking ACHD is talking about to slow the traffic down, it makes it kind of difficult for motorcycles, because you have to almost come to a stop, otherwise, you bottom out. Thank you. De Weerd: Thank you. Rountree: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Rountree. Rountree: I guess to the point of trying to design it, I think we are getting off base, but I think the recent suggestion about the R-8 that Mrs. McKay made and showing that just as a block annexation, would be what is necessary in order to move forward ultimately, because that whole piece will be scrutinized quite significantly when, in fact, it's ever platted, whether there is access or not, where the access is or not, so that's kind of where I am. I think we have gone around it enough that -- unless there is any further discussion, I will move that we close the public hearing on this item. Bird: I will second. De Weerd: I'm sorry, without the opportunity for the -- Rountree: Oh. De Weerd: -- applicant to have the last word. Rountree: I don't know if she wants back or not. De Weerd: Is there any further comment? Davis: Eric Davis. 199 North Capital, Suite 300, Boise. Just one last plea to think -- think back -- the reason that we did the Ten Mile plan -- and my name is on the cover -- inside cover of this and I visited with HGR back then and talked about having a vision that will allow developers to come in and do things in a coordinated fashion. This holds a very high standard and your R-8 zone is very well written, holds a high standard for what's developed in there and I can appreciate the deal with lack of detail and we are willing to work with that, but on the commercial side and the -- the R-8 -- or the -- the modified commercial, the TN -C, TN -R, we really need to be off and running and representing that -- that vision for the marketplace, enabling us that we have access, we Meridian City Council June 3, 2014 Page 41 of 44 have point, we are adhering to the plan, we are in the city, we are officially here with our welcome mat and so we are looking for the opportunity. Thanks. De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. Rountree: Okay. With that, Madam Mayor, I move that we close the public hearing on Item 8-C. Bird: 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. Okay. Any opposed? MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. De Weerd: Okay. Rountree: Just a question for Ted or Bruce. What I'm contemplating is putting the illustration that Mrs. McKay brought forward. Is that something that we can do pen and ink or do we need that metes and bounds or how do we go about that? Chatterton: Mayor, Council Members, did you have a rough idea of the depth of that R-8 zone? Did we hear 300? Rountree: Three hundred feet and approximately 21 acres, plus or minus. Chatterton: So, I think that 300 feet from the edge of both the east -west and north - south property line -- I think we can work with it from a zoning standpoint. We will have to make sure that it lines up with the road. And we would need a revised plan here, Sonya is reminding me, so -- Rountree: And a question for Ted. Does the word approximate work in legal terms? Baird: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, Council Member Rountree, you can give directions with the word approximation and, then, what comes back to you in written form with a revised plat you will approve with specificity. Rountree: Okay. Thank you. Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Rountree. Rountree: I move that we approve the application for Item 8-C with the addition of an additional depth on the R-8 portion in the southeast portion of the application to a depth of 300 feet from the property line north of Waltman and that prior to the first building permit that access be provided off of Ten Mile and subject to staff and applicant's comments. Meridian City Council June 3, 2014 Page 42 of 44 Bird: Connection? De Weerd: Waltman. Rountree: The plat will show a block. De Weerd: The plat dictates the connection or not. Bird: Second. De Weerd: Okay. I have a motion and a second. Any discussion? Zaremba: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Zaremba. Zaremba: Just a clarification on the first building permit. You mean in the whole property or in the R-8 zone as you newly described it? Rountree: Within the whole property. De Weerd: Okay. Any further discussion? Madam Clerk, will you call roll. Roll Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Zaremba, yea; Borton, yea; Milam, yea; Cavener, yea. De Weerd: All ayes. Motion carried. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Item 9: Department Reports A. Mayor's Office: Resolution No. 14-994: Resolution Appointing Seldon S. "Butch" Weedon to Seat 7 of the Meridian Impact Fee Advisory Committee De Weerd: Thank you all for being here this evening. Under Item 9-A, Council, I do have a resolution in front of you, 14-994. It's to appoint Butch Weedon to the Seat 7 of the Meridian Impact Fee Advisory Committee. Steve Elliott resigned because I believe he moved or had time constraints and so Mr. Baird and Mrs. Kilchenmann and myself interviewed Mr. Weedon and feel that he will be a real asset to the Impact Fee Advisory Committee. He is a former fire chief from the community that he moved from and does have experience with impact fee implementation and plan development. So, I'd stand for any questions. Or Ted does. And, Council, at some point we will bring back perhaps a new or proposed purpose for this committee. We would like to see them Meridian City Council June 3, 2014 Page 43 of 44 meet more than on occasion that it look at quarterly meetings, so that they can get more into detail and to the meat of the items on the capital improvement plan and also how that relates to impact fees in general. Baird: Madam Mayor, if I might add, at your direction I have worked with Stacy, we have identified the 25th of June as the first meeting to meet with them and go over with them what happened here at the hearings and what was approved and some of the new direction and, then, we will be calendaring in advance quarterly meetings every three months. De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. Any questions? I would entertain a motion. Zaremba: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Zaremba. Zaremba: I move that we approve Resolution No. 14-994 appointing Butch Weedon to Seat 7 of the Meridian Impact Fee Advisory Committee. Cavener: Second. De Weerd: I have a motion and a second to approve Item 9-A. If there is no questions, Madam Clerk. Roll Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Zaremba, yea; Borton, yea; Milam, yea; Cavener, yea. De Weerd: All ayes. Motions carried. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. De Weerd: And because I didn't want to embarrass anyone in front of a full house, I would like to welcome Mr. Zaremba's lovely wife and his sister. Thank you for joining us and actually lasting during the entire meeting. He probably told you it was going to be a short one. Zaremba: I promised them it would be one hour. De Weerd: Yeah. Rountree: Plus an hour and a half. Item 10: Future Meeting Topics De Weerd: Council, any items for consideration under Item 10 for our future meeting topics? If there are none, I would entertain a motion to adjourn. Meridian City Council June 3, 2014 Page 44 of 44 Bird: So moved. Zaremba: Second. De Weerd: All those in favor say aye. All ayes. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. De Weerd: Thank you. MEETING ADJOURNED AT 8:35 P.M.
