Page 4 of 31
Bird: So, we will go down to Item 7, the Community Items/Presentations. The
Mayor's Youth Advisory Council update. Young Lady.
Bradford: Okay. Members of the Council, I am Susanna Bradford and I am the
vice-chair for the Mayor's Youth Advisory Council and this is the update for the
month of February and last month -- or last Monday we had Ignite Youth at the
Idaho Party Barn and we had six different presenters give presentations on a
variety of topics. Our presenters included MYAC'ers and just community
members and we learned about anything from starting your own small business
to -- to dinosaurs -- we learned about dinosaurs and it was super cool to hear
about whatever the presenters wanted to talk about. There we go. Okay. And,
then last night we had a fundraiser at The Counter for -- to raise money for our
NLC trip, which is this weekend. We have a few members of the exec council
that will be going to Washington D.C. for the National League of Cities
conference and it was -- it was a good turnout. There were -- we got a good
turnout from that. And, then, just as a look ahead we have NLC in Washington
D.C. this weekend and we are working on our STAND grant and we will get more
information about that as it comes closer and we are also working on school
surveys that we are going to take into the schools to give students, so that we
know how they feel about Meridian and how they feel about like safety in
Meridian and what their place is. And that's all. Are there any questions?
Bird: Council, any questions for the young lady?
Cavener: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Cavener.
Cavener: A couple questions about your STAND grant. I'm just curious what
MYAC is planning to work on related to STAND and kind of what they are
submitting for funds for.
Bradford: Uh-huh. I think it's -- I'm not positive what the project is. I'm not
working on it. We have other people in the exec council that are working on it.
But I know they are trying to work on something to do with parents smoking in the
car with children under the age of 18 when they are present in the car.
Cavener: Mr. President, additional question if I may.
Bird: Yes, Mr. Cavener.
Cavener: I'm just curious what membership looks like right now. I know you
guys just seem to get bigger and bigger every time.
Bradford: Yeah.
Meridian City Council Meeting

Cavener: I'm just curious what your current membership is.
Bradford: It always dwindles after Christmas --
Cavener: Sure.
Bradford: -- so right now we are -- we are hanging on, but we are getting pretty
small, so -- yes.
Cavener: Okay.
Bird: Any other questions? Thank you, young lady.
Bradford: Thank you.
B. Solid Waste Advisory Commission Annual Report
Bird: You bet. Mr. Cory on the Solid Waste Advisory Commission annual report.
Thank you for being here, Steve.
Cory: Thank you, Mr. President and Members of the Council. I want to express
my appreciation for this opportunity to go ahead and review the activities of 2016
for the Solid Waste Advisory Commission. Introducing myself. Steve Cory. I'm
chairman of the commission and I get the opportunity to make this presentation
on behalf of the commissioners. We have a very strong, active and full
commission and we have had some changes over the course of this last year .
Mayor Corrie, Youth Commissioner Chambers and commissioner and former
chairman Nancy Mann all chose to do some other activities over the course of
the year and the commission very much wants to thank the Council for keeping
us at full capacity. We appreciate the variety of citizens that you're able to give to
us to represent the community. One of the activities that the commission takes is
the oversight of the community recycling fund program or CFRP -- CRFP. I want
to report to you that we are starting to get cash inflows into this account and it's
now a little bit over 11,600 dollars. To that effect we have opened up a
conversation with the Parks and Recreation Department and also with the
Meridian Arts Commission about a joint project that would go ahead and place
benches in city parks. This happens to be some work of artists that we found
fairly interesting, but we have got another project that's -- another type of bench
that's really developed some interest amongst the group and we are looking
forward in the near future to be able to come before you with a joint presentation
on something for the community. Looking back at the activities of 2016, early on
in the year we went ahead and presented a report to memorialize the origins ,
development, and current conditions of recycling in Meridian. We documented
the interplay of conditions and market variables and SWAC investigated services
and fees charged locally and throughout the west, pertinent contracts and other
industry resource information. The report compared how other local cities in the
Meridian City Council Meeting
March 7, 2017
Page 6 of 31
county apportion residential recycling risks versus revenue with Republic
Services. As a result of that work SWAC developed a greater knowledge of the
complexities of the recycling industry, a closer working relationship with Republic
Services and other local stakeholders, and a collective resolve to find innovative
new programs to support the CRFP. Another one of our activities was the
development of the Hand-In-Hand We Recycle program. SWAC created the
program -- the program with the support of Republic Services and Western
Recycling. Both Republic Services and Western Recycling agreed to donate
services so that close to a hundred percent of the revenue earned can be
returned to the CRFP. The program creates a mobile collection opportunity that
we can take to events within the community. From its title to the painted hand
prints of local recyclers, the program's objective is to promote that it takes
everyone in the community to recycle in order to improve the quality of life for
everyone in the community. It provides an opportunity for multi-family
households to participate in recycling and it promotes recycling generally with its
positive message, it's easily accessible reaching location near the Meridian
transfer stations gatehouse and it gives us the opportunity to educate the
community on the effect of contamination of the recyclables and the effect that
contamination has on the value of both single stream recycling that happens at
the curb and the commingled -- well, the source separated material that comes
through this end process. It was -- it rolled out very nicely with no cost to the city
or citizens directly and so we were very proud of the way that that rolled out . We
launched the program during the Public Works Expo with the activities that I have
just discussed and, then, followed it up with Republic Services entering in the
Dairy Days parade. SWAC commissioners and Republic Services
representatives walked the parade and handed out educational materials. We
went ahead and distributed bookmarks throughout City Hall and around the
community to further explain the program. SWAC initiated an annual activity at
the Public Works Expo. SWAC answered questions and educated the public on
clean recycling and Youth Commissioner Jacob Chambers was able to obtain
reusable bags from Albertsons to give away as swag during the event. Republic
Services donated some games that we could use and some more swag to give
out for the participants in those games. I want to say that SWAC -- the
commissioners are very excited about expanding the educational materials that
we can hand out in this year -- the second year of participating in the expo.
SWAC received numerous presentations throughout the year with Pacific
Recycling refreshing our understanding of their operations and Republic Services
detailing numerous aspects of their activities. SWAC handled numerous
activities to improve services in the community, including obtaining compliance
by contractors and you haulers, developing a rate chart to compare costs in the
Treasure Valley and maintaining a services chart to facilitate citizen, knowledge
something they can go to to see what they can receive at the curbside and
resolving questions about container standards. SWAC vetted and produced a
recommendation on safe and efficient collection of waste and recyclables at
schools and -- and commercial entities in the city. We thank the Council for their
consideration and support of that ordinance change. SWAC formed the annual
Meridian City Council Meeting
March 7, 2017
Page 7 of 31
rate adjustment review vetting proposed changes and recommending approval to
the Council. Again, we thank you for your consideration. SWAC participated in
the county solid waste advisory committee. The committee has been a valuable
path for communication between the communities and Ada County and
numerous issues were discussed throughout the year. The committee is being
renewed at this time and we look forward to the continued collaboration effort. I
was -- had the pleasure to represent Meridian at that committee meeting and in
my -- when I had to take a break with it, Commissioner Caldwell was able to fill in
for me doing admirably. I want to take a second and talk about 2017 and the
things that are -- that we are looking forward to. We are promoting -- going to
continue promoting that Hand-In-Hand We Recycle program. Continue the
development of a five-year strategic solid waste plan for the City of Meridian and
if it were developed to bring it forward for your consideration. We will continue
monitoring glass recycling and yard composting market trends. We are closely
monitoring the -- well, Republic's pilot grass recycling program in light of the
major changes that Boise is planning to implement this coming year . We will
continue to participate in the Ada County Solid Waste Advisory Committee. We
will participate in the Ada County Hazardous -- Household Hazardous Waste
Program meetings and Commissioner Nelson has been attending those
meetings and representing us quite well. We will continue to provide training with
Republic Services and staff commissioners assistance for code enforcement
officers on solid waste ordinance, including, but not limited to, sections pertaining
to you haulers. We will do continued expansion of the role of the youth
commissioner to coordinate with MYAC on many activities that we have
throughout the year and, then, we are going to -- we are working on a new
program, which is the presentation following this one on a Trash To Treasure
program. So, I will go into that next. In conclusion, it's been a very productive
year for SWAC and SWAC continues to gain experience and appreciation of the
many challenges facing the solid waste and recycling industries. SWAC's
commitment is steadfast to work with our partners to identify and recommend to
the -- to you, the Council, improved physically sound, trash and recycling
services and programs for the benefit of Meridian residential and commercial
customers and SWAC looks forward to an even greater productivity in the year to
come. And with that I would stand for questions or direction.
Milam: Mr. President?
Bird: Mrs. Milam.
Milam: Thank you, Steve, for the very thorough report and it's nice to see so
much of your -- of your team here to support you tonight. There is a sudden
increase over the last year in the community recycling fund and I think we were
working on that close to zero balance for a few years it seemed like. Can you tell
-- can you just elaborate a little bit of where that money has come from ?
Meridian City Council Meeting
March 7, 2017
Page 8 of 31
Cory: Markets have been extremely soft for a number of years . There were a
number of problems. There was a port strike over on the west coast that made it
so getting recycled materials to China was not as possible and that created a lot
more material that was going to the domestic aluminum recyclers and -- and
cardboard facilities and such and a lot of those resolved themselves and, then, I
would say that the attention that was given over the last couple of years to the
program was very beneficial to us when we issued the report a year ago and
there were some efficiencies that were found and were put in place and,
basically, we are just seeing the market come back together, the economy get a
little bit stronger, a little bit more demand for cardboard and aluminum and
various other things and so were benefiting from that improved situation .
Milam: Mr. President, one more question.
Bird: Mrs. Milam.
Milam: Thank you, Steve. I mean that's wonderful to see those funds just rise so
much. On the Hand-In-Hand We Recycle -- I love that program. Sorry. I know
Andrea fills it daily. But do you know who else -- or where else the products are
coming for into that utility that we are receiving so much money back?
Cory: Well, one of the great services that that is providing is that a lot of our --
our apartment complexes and other facilities did not have the -- were not
designed originally to have the dual bins for garbage and, then, for recyclable
materials and so as this program was developed those residents didn't have an
ability to go ahead and participate and so we are seeing quite a few people come
over with their materials -- strong indications that that's what we are getting is
that these people getting the chance to recycle where they really didn't have an
opportunity before.
Milam: Wonderful. Thank you.
Cavener: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Cavener.
Cavener: Steve, I look forward to your presentation. I think you're a great
representative of the commission and it's great to see so many of them here. In
your report you alluded to some potential changes occurring in the municipality to
the east of us and can see or read in the paper about the city of Boise moving to
composting. Is that something that SWAC has discussed and is there any
information that you're prepared to share with us tonight?
Cory: You know, the commission has considered this a very important topic and
for years we have educated ourselves on composting activities. We felt that as
far as we could go in a very unsure situation was to initiate the pilot program that
Meridian City Council Meeting
March 7, 2017
Page 9 of 31
we have had over the last couple of years. That pilot program allowed citizens of
Meridian to go ahead and pay a subscription fee and they could have their grass
picked up and delivered to one of the farms south of town and it was put together
into a soil amendment and, then, applied to the farms down there and used for
agricultural purposes. We felt like that half step was a good starting point,
knowing that Meridian -- that Boise was approaching this from a whole different
standpoint. Their council is indicating that their citizens are willing to go ahead
and do a program for grass and leaves that's fully orchestrated by the city . We
don't really know what -- we don't presume what would be appropriate for
Meridian, but we knew that that would be half the material in this county and it
would significantly affect the market and so Boise is moving to a process to have
another can at each of the residents where grass and, actually, food scraps,
banana peels and other things, would be picked up and it would be delivered to
the -- to their property out on Kuna Mora Road to allow it to be composted and,
then, provide compost to their citizens and they have created a fairly structured
fee system, essentially, building participation into their costs and, then,
presuming that you actually participate , then, you get a little bit of a break and if
you compost on your property, then, you can get a waiver and some other things.
It's certainly a pretty major impact to the Treasure Valley and the use of this
material. I think our position would be that we will try to work up a good report on
this and if it works for you to maybe talk about some things that we think might be
more attuned to Meridian citizens and , then, present it to you for your
consideration. I know in talking with Boise, their view is that their program will
take a little bit of time to stabilize and , then, they will go ahead and open it up
later on for other communities to participate and add on, but I'm not really sure if
that necessarily matches the way our citizens think. So, we are not prejudice on
this yet. We are not even sure how -- of all the facts associated with it, but we do
intend to go ahead and pull it all together and present it to you sometime this
year.
Cavener: Great. Thank you.
Bird: Any other questions at this point? Thanks, Steve, and thank you to all your
commission.
C. Solid Waste Advisory Commission: Trash or Treasure
Pilot Program
Bird: And I see the next item you and Brett is going to present that. Are you
ready to do that, too?
Cory: Yes.
Bird: Let's do her.
Meridian City Council Meeting
March 7, 2017
Page 10 of 31
Cory: Mr. President. Yeah. And I do want to go ahead and thank our
commissioners that are here in attendance.
Bird: Yes.
Cory: Why don’t you stand up. I have really appreciated their work with me and
I'm glad they are here.
Bird: Thank you.
Cory: Thank you for your indulgence on that. The commission had the great
opportunity this year to have one of our citizens go ahead and bring forth
something that he had observed in another community and so I want to go ahead
and bring Brett Baranco, a member of our Meridian Police Department, up here
and he's going to go ahead and go into the details of it, but it was something that
really energized the commission and we think you might be very interested in it .
Bird: Thank you, Steve. Welcome, Brett.
Baranco: Thank you, Mr. President, Council Members. And, again, thank you,
Steve, for that introduction. My name is Brett Baranco, I am the chairman for
Trash or Treasure subcommittee and on February 22nd I was able to go in front
of the Solid Waste Advisory Commission and speak to them about this program
in hopes that they would vote for me to come forward to you guys today and as
you can tell unanimously voted an approval for me to share with you guys my
program. But first before I go into it, I do want to paint a little bit of a face that
was able to introduce this idea to me. It would be my family, specifically through
my wife Katie Rush, her sister's family. The Claus family. They are from Stony
Plain, Alberta, Canada, and the woman in the picture would be her sister Janine
Claus. Her husband Matt Claus. And their three beautiful children. In the middle
would be the oldest Abigail. For short Abby. On the right would be the middle
child. Rebecca. For short Becca. And, of course, you can't -- can't look away
from that little one, Karas in the purple shirt. One day Matt discovered a rash
near his armpit that wouldn't go away no matter what the doctors did to treat it.
They found out that he had melanoma cancer and on April the 19th , 2016, last
year, he did succumb to it and these three pictures were the last times these girls
got to see their father alive as they said their final goodbyes . My wife and I went
up to Stony Plain at the end of April to attend his funeral and to help our sister
around the house or in any way that we could for her eventually move back to the
States. While we were up there we found out about a program that has been
going on for ten years at Stony Plain, that one weekend annually the residents
would place unwanted items at the edge of their yard in hopes that someone will
come by and take it for their own use . The hunt for hidden treasure that might be
junk to one person, yet of use to another. If the items weren't taken, the local
garbage collectors would come and take what was left to the landfill. It was,
actually, truly amazing to experience firsthand. While helping my sister clean her
Meridian City Council Meeting
March 7, 2017
Page 11 of 31
house for the eventual move, we were able to get rid of so much stuff that would
have cost us time and money to give away, sell, or take the landfill ourselves, not
to mention the many times of me wishing that I was in the States, so that I could
bring back a lot of other -- of the residents' stuff myself. Seeing the community
come together to repurpose old items made me think that Meridian would be a
perfect place to have a program such as this. Since the City of Meridian strives
to be a place that is full of diverse activities to keep itself s eparate from other
cities and SWAC seeks programs to programmers -- to promote recycling in the
community and to divert materials from the landfill through focus of the se four
R's, reduce, recycle, repurpose and reuse, Meridian would be a perfect place to
make this idea work. So, I was able to bring this topic to the Solid Waste
Advisory Commission on June 26th, 2016, of last year, but they were missing
close to half of their board members, so they wanted me to come back to their
next meeting on July 27th. During this meeting the board members voted
unanimously to create a subcommittee to work out the details and create the
plans for a pilot year. This was when I was introduced to so many wonderful
people who helped put in their own time and efforts into this program. Without
these people and their dedication to the idea of Trash or Treasure this would
have been lost. I am truly appreciative to everyone involved. And forgive me if I
do mispronounce a name. Andrea Pogue. Genesis Milam. Rachele Klein.
Scott Walters. Steve Cory. Steve Sedlacek. Justin Jensen. Kaycee Emery.
Ken Corder. Cade Coltrin and Burney Glen HOA. Tim Dublin and Copper Basin
HOA. Cheryl Iseri. Carman Wilson. And Leslie McClurg with Havasu Creek
HOA. And Mike Madsen with MGM Association Management. Once again, I
cannot express how thankful I am to these individuals and communities for their
support. The Trash or Treasure subcommittee gathered for nine one hour -- nine
one hour meetings. The meetings were a mix of people in attendance, but we
were able to work hard and crackdown on details for the pilot year. This is the
logo that we came up with that we thought would reflect well on Meridian's views
and standards. We came up with the tagline give your unwanted items a chance
for a new beginning. We feel that really represents the purpose behind the
program and recycle instead of throwing away. We felt a good time to initiate this
program for the pilot year would be April 29th thru April 30th . The reason is
because of Meridian's already program that is in use spring cleanup. This is
what also made me think that the program could work for the beginning, because
Meridian has already worked so hard to create spring cleanup , as well as having
a few years of successful runs. But instead of throwing away the items, this is
where Trash or Treasure would really come in handy to merge with spring
cleanup in an attempt to get rid of the unwanted items before taking them to the
landfill. I have used spring cleanup myself before with happiness, but also a little
bit regret, because I got rid of something that could have been used by someone
else. I was lazy and it really wasn't a good donatable item , but now it's in a
landfill and Trash or Treasure could have given my items a second chance and
use. Spring cleanup in some residences is May 1st and that is why we thought
April 29th and April 30th would work well for Trash or Treasure and I should note
that the treasure hunt that Stony Plain does will not allow multiple items to the
Meridian City Council Meeting
March 7, 2017
Page 12 of 31
landfill that Meridian actually does, which means this will be an easier program
for people to participate in and more options for items to get rid of. We are not
sure at this point if the event will be targeted to a specific community every year
or to be a citywide event, but we didn't want to unleash this program to everyone
in Meridian on the first year. So, we picked a target area of HOA neighborhoods
that would find interest in participating in the first year. We came across Burney
Glen, Copper Basin, and Havasu Creek. All these neighborhoods loved the idea
and wanted to make Trash or Treasure a success. With these three
neighborhoods combined it will give us 488 residential homes to work with in
seeing what will happen during that weekend and I should also note that all of
these residents will have a garbage pickup Monday, May 1st. We were able to
develop a flyer that gives the details about Trash or Treasure. Republic Services
has graciously expressed support in paying for the cost of these flyers. The
flyers will be posted on the HOA Facebook pages and NextDoor accounts four
weeks prior to April 29th. The subcommittee, as well as possible MYAC
members, will, then, go out two weeks priors -- two weeks prior throughout the
neighborhoods and rubber band them to the doors. This will also be sent via
HOA and MGM Management e-mail to the residents Wednesday before April
29th. We feel this will be help embed the idea of Trash or Treasure before the
final weekend. We were also able to create a video that will be used to promote
the who, what, when, where and how of Trash or Treasure. Once again,
Republic Services has generously purchased the video , so that we may use it on
the city YouTube channel, through a link that is on the flyer and we will be using
the e-mails that will be sent via the HOAs and MGM Management's e-mails. I do
have the video. However, due to the technical difficulties I sadly will not be able
to play it. I know. It is very good, as you can hear in the background. But I will
have Andrea Pogue send to you -- everyone, so that you guys can witness it.
We thought having a vertical banner at the entrances of the HOA neighborhoods
would help spark interest into Trash or Treasure. They will be erected two days
prior to the weekend of the event and, once again, will be paid for by Republic
Services. I absolutely cannot express the gratitude we have towards Rachele
Klein and Republic Services for supporting us so much. When the day of the
event comes a few subcommittee membe rs will patrol the area, taking pictures,
documenting what's being put out, what's being picked up and just the general
foot traffic. We will also seek the aid of MYAC members in helping us obtain
these notes. Victoria Madrigal with MYAC and SWAC made a clear point to get
MYAC and her school involved with this task, that we are truly grateful to her. At
the end of the weekend, after Republic Services has picked up the remainder of
the items, we will have the HOAs and MGM send an e-mail that contains a link to
the Survey Monkey to ask a few basic questions about the community
experience. Questions like did they participate. What items did they place out.
What items did they find and keep. What were their overall thoughts on the
program, as well as a few other questions that the committee will fine tune. To
make sure no clutter is left on the streets, a week or two past the event we will go
to Meridian police code enforcement in help searching for any violations that
might be present. And, then, the subcommittee will once more gather to view the
Meridian City Council Meeting
March 7, 2017
Page 13 of 31
results and present them to the Solid Waste Advisory Commission and to the
City Council. If the event is a success, which it will be, we will create a news
release to show the community what was done and create interest and future
Trash or Treasure events. So, to sum up, Trash or Treasure will be a creative
and community involved program that promotes repurposing before disposing.
We will attach to your already in use program spring cleanup for the pilot year will
be held on the weekend of April 29th and 30th and will take place for the first
year in the Burney Glen, Copper Basin, and Havasu Creek communities. The
Trash or Treasure subcommittee will come together once more after the event
and present the final findings of the outcome to SWAC and City Council. Not to
mention that the pilot year will cost the city zero dollars.
Bird: We like that.
Baranco: Trash or Treasure. Where one person's trash is someone else's
treasure. And now I would like to -- actually, I was going to play my video, we
don't have a video, so as chairman of Trash or Treasure subcommittee I would
like to thank you for your time, answer any questions you might have, and
ultimately ask you to vote to allow Trash or Treasure to become a part of
Meridian city. Thank you.
Bird: Council, any questions for Brett?
Milam: Mr. President?
Bird: Mrs. Milam.
Milam: Brett, great presentation. Obviously, I'm a big supporter, also on the
subcommittee. Did you want to explain the MJC or logo or --
Baranco: I was trying to sneak it in, but --
Milam: Well, you want to point that out.
Baranco: It is my brother's initials. Matthew Johnson Claus. MJC.
Milam: A little tribute to your brother-in-law. I think that's really -- really special.
Bird: Any other questions, Council? If not, I would entertain or --
Cavener: Mr. President, I will make a motion. Brett, great -- very thorough
presentation. As someone who as a child enjoyed going to my grandparents'
house, because we make the annual trip to the dump where I would find my
treasure. This intrigued me, but as I have always learned, though, sometimes
some people's trash is just trash. I was a little concerned when I first started to
hear about this, but I think the plan as it coincides with spring cleanup was very
Meridian City Council Meeting
March 7, 2017
Page 14 of 31
thoughtful. It appears you have done your due diligence and I like that it is being
centralized in three neighborhoods. Can't wait to see what you guys accomplish
with this. So, with that, if Councilman Milam is okay, I want to -- I don't want to
step on your toes and make the motion, but -- all right. I would move that we
accept the presentation for the Trash or Treasure pilot program and allow that
program to occur the date presented.
Milam: Second.
Bird: Okay. You have heard the motion and the second. Mr. Clerk, roll coll.
Let's roll call it.
Roll Call: Bird, yea; Borton, yea; Milam, yea; Cavener, yea; Palmer, yea; Little
Roberts, yea.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Bird: Thank you, Brett, very much.
Baranco: Thank you, everyone. I really do appreciate it.
Bird: Thank you for your hard work. We appreciate it.
D. Historic Preservation Commission: Budget Amendment
for Certified Local Government Grant in the Not-to-
Exceed amount of $3,500
Bird: Okay. Hillary, we have got Item B, Historic Preservation budget
amendment.
Bodnar: Hi.
Bird: Good evening, Hillary. How are you?
Bodnar: I'm good. How are you?
Bird: Very good. Thank you.
Bodnar: Wonderful. Mr. President, Members of the Council, I am presenting a
budget amendment on -- for the Historic Preservation Commission. On February
23rd we were given a letter of award from the Idaho State Historical Society for a
grant for 3,500 dollars for the Meridian Walking Tour update. Right now, as you
guys know, we rolled out the walking tour in two phases. So, we actually have
two separate brochures which can be confusing to people at times and we have
actually ordered more of a single brochure with the -- knowing that we wanted to
eventually combine them, but we had a lot left over and we didn't want to get rid
Meridian City Council Meeting
March 7, 2017
Page 15 of 31
of something that we have already printed and purchased and so, conveniently,
we are getting close to the end of our two separate brochures and we had the
opportunity to apply for a certified local government grant from the Idaho State
Historical Society and we were awarded that grant. So, they are willing to match
all of the funds to, basically, update the design, they are not exactly consistent
with the updates and content and, then, reprint a combined brochure for the
walking tour. So, the budget amendment before you is, essentially, asking for
spending authority for those grant monies that were awarded to the Historic
Preservation Commission.
Bird: Any questions for Hillary?
Borton: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Borton.
Borton: Real quick. Hillary, while you're on the topic, can you give us an update
on the development of the walking tour app?
Bodnar: Yes.
Borton: I presume these funds can't be used towards a digital version.
Bodnar: These funds can't be used towards the app, but we will be able to
include a link, you know, like a scan to that app or information off that app in the
brochures also, which is another good reason. The app is, essentially, a digital
brochure, so that would be updated a lot more frequently and has a lot more
content. At the next HPC meeting, which is Thursday, we are doing training for
the app that's, essentially, ready to be rolled out for the public.
Borton: Great.
Bird: Any other questions? Mr. Palmer.
Palmer: Mr. President, I move we approve the budget amendment for 3,500
dollars.
Milam: Second.
Bird: You have heard the motion to approve for the budget amendment of 3,500
dollars and the second. Roll call, please.
Roll Call: Bird, yea; Borton, yea; Milam, yea; Cavener, yea; Palmer, yea; Little
Roberts, yea.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.

Permit Partial Fee Waiver Request
Bird: Okay. Continued from February 28th, the YMCA building permit partial fee
waiver request. Mr. Siddoway.
Meridian City Council Meeting
March 7, 2017
Page 17 of 31
Siddoway: Mr. President, Members of the Council, I was before you last week,
so I'm happy to give as much or as little as you would like tonight. I do want to
thank you for allowing us to hold an initial conversation last week while Madam
Mayor could be here, as well as the vice-president David Duro, who are both out
of town this week. Some highlights may be worth mentioning. Last year we --
the city entered into a partnership with the YMCA for the project known as The
Hill in south Meridian, which will include a park for the city, as well as the -- the
YMCA, Hillsdale Elementary School is already there, and we are, basically, in a
partnership where we try to act in good faith to the benefit of each other and to
the benefit of the project. Examples on Y's side toward the city have included --
they are planning to build a parking lot for the park. They are handling on the
land -- accepting land donations until the property lines can be determined and
last year they sold us the Home Court at a favorable price, so that those
proceeds are not slated to be used at The Hill. The request before you tonight is
to consider waiving any portions of the building permit fees that are considered
indirect fees or soft costs. Bruce Freckleton presented last week. You have his
memo. Just as a quick summary, they are not proposing any waiver of the
planning division fees. No waiver of the land development division fees. Both of
those are already paid. They are not proposing any waiving of the Public Works
Department fees, including sanitary sewer and water assessments or water
meters. And they are also not proposing any waiver of police or fire impact fees.
The portion that is proposed to be waived is part of the permit fees that are the
city's cost for overhead. The -- a portion that is paid to -- by the city to
independent contractors are the hard costs that are not proposed to be waived .
In summary, the amount of soft costs proposed to be waived would amount to
$104,208.07 and I will stand for any questions.
Bird: Any questions, Council, for Steve? Okay.
Siddoway: Thank you.
Bird: Thank you, Steve. What's your pleasure, Council?
Little Roberts: Mr. President?
Bird: Mrs. Little Roberts.
Little Roberts: I move that we accept the proposal and waive the soft cost fees
not to exceed 105,000 dollars.
Cavener: Second.
Bird: Got a motion and second to approve. Any questions?
Palmer: Mr. President?
Meridian City Council Meeting
March 7, 2017
Page 18 of 31
Bird: Mr. Palmer.
Palmer: I know we jumped to a motion, but I know it's not designated as a public
hearing, but I'm curious if we have interest in hearing from anybody from the
public, should there be anybody that would like to testify on it, which it looks like
there is.
Bird: Council, what's your pleasure? My pleasure is okay. We have got a
motion and a -- and a second.
Cavener: I will withdraw.
Bird: Do you want to withdraw your second?
Cavener: I will withdraw the second.
Little Roberts: I will withdraw my motion.
Bird: Okay. Anybody in the public wants to testify? State your name and
address, please.
Wardle: Thank you, Mr. President, Members of the Council. Shaun Wardle,
2239 East Griner Street here in Meridian. Thank you for j ust a brief opportunity
and thank you for holding this item over. I wasn't able to make it last week based
on sort of a short agenda notice. So, I appreciate just a brief question. Actually,
I have one question as I read through the staff report I noticed that there are
references to things that have not taken a precedence, so one of the questions
that I had either for staff or for the Council is what other fee waivers have been
approved by this body for projects?
Chatterton: Mr. President, Council Members, to my knowledge -- I'm not sure I
have a complete list over the years, but since I have been around the Girls &
Boys Club there were a considerable number of fee waivers associated with that
project. I'm not recalling any other off the top of my head.
Bird: Bruce, Council, I -- I know that we -- and I'm not too sure that we didn't
waive some fees at certain times, even when Mr. Wardle was a councilman, but
the Boys & Girls Club is the only one I think -- I know there is others. We waive
fees, of course, on the schools and stuff like that, but that's --
Nary: Mr. President?
Bird: -- that's just taking out of one pocket book to the other.
Nary: Mr. President?
Meridian City Council Meeting
March 7, 2017
Page 19 of 31
Bird: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Mr. President, Members of the Council, the other one that comes to mind
-- and it's been a number of years -- probably five years or more -- was during the
--at the peak or the valley of the recession period there was certain areas of town
that we waived impact fees. Portico area was one of those. So, that was to get
a stimulus opportunity. But in like recreation sense, probably, again, the school
facilities. We have an agreement with them to waive those fees, as well as the
Boys & Girls Club.
Bird: Thank you. Sean, that's all I can --
Wardle: Thank you. I appreciate it.
Bird: And I know we have -- I know we have waived fees, but I --
Wardle: So, just a quick follow up question. I guess maybe I'm not following.
Only a percentage of fees that would be waived. I'm assuming that -- that if any
or all of a portion of the fees are waived that the services provided under the
building division fees are still going to be provided; is that correct? Okay. So,
they will be provided. So, I guess my real question is who picks up the
difference?
Bird: The -- the only thing we are actually waiving is -- is the cost of our labor to
do the administration of it. Our inspectors that do the work, the actual fieldwork,
are not waving their fees.
Wardle: Okay.
Bird: Those fees are not being waived. So, all we are waving is what we spend
with administration fees, you know, off of help working at the counter or doing
this kind of stuff. We are not waving -- we are not waiving the others -- any hard
costs. These are -- this is soft costs.
Wardle: Okay. So, those -- so, those would be the General Fund costs or
building division -- I guess --
Bird: Well, they would -- this department has turned back quite a bit of money
every year to General Fund, but --
Wardle: I guess my real question is would the -- would the taxpayers be picking
up the difference or is it --
Bird: No.
Wardle: -- future and current building owners applying for this?
Meridian City Council Meeting
March 7, 2017
Page 20 of 31
Bird: This -- this department stands on their fees.
Wardle: Okay.
Bird: It gets little or none from the General Fund. Is that not right, Bruce?
Chatterton: I’m sorry, Council Member Bird, President Bird, I -- there was a
discussion going over here, so I missed the question.
Bird: We are not forfeiting any money to the taxpayers -- or the taxpayers fees;
right?
Chatterton: No. Actually, I believe that if Todd Lavoie were here he would tell
you that we have -- over the last several years has in the neighborhood of nine
million dollars of fees, which are in excess of projections.
Bird: Yeah. You were --
Chatterton: In excess of budget. And so, basically, is what it's doing is reducing
that amount. Typically that money goes towards the Council and you all typically
spend it on capital projects, often Parks and Recreation projects. So, what it's
really doing is -- is reducing that amount from the development services fund by
a certain extent.
Bird: Yeah.
Wardle: Thank you. I stand for any questions.
Bird: Any questions?
Palmer: Mr. President? I guess, then, to clarify, it would seem that the -- the
staff time is being paid for by profits made from other developers and their
projects?
Bird: It's like any private business, you have profit in it.
Cavener: Mr. President? Before maybe a motion is made, a question for staff.
Bruce, do you recall what the -- I know that with the Boys & Girls Club project
that some of those soft costs were donated, but what was the total cost of fees
waived that were controlled by the city with that project?
Chatterton: Mr. President, Council Member Cavener, I don't -- the amount I
believe was comparable to this amount in that it was in the -- it was in the six
figures -- low six figures. I don't recall the exact amount. I'm sorry, I don't recall
that.
Meridian City Council Meeting
March 7, 2017
Page 21 of 31
Bird: Mr. Cavener, I don't recall the same amount, but we are talking about a 18
million dollar building, compared to a three million dollar building. I'm sure that it
wasn't this amount, but --
Chatterton: It -- it would have been less, yes.
Bird: It would have been less, but it was substantial.
Cavener: Mr. President, if I may. I believe it was comparable and that's the
reason that I asked is -- in making full disclosure I voted against that motion
against the Boys & Girls Club, because I was concerned of the precedent that we
would set as a Council. This Council made that determination that we wanted to
support projects that were a benefit to our community and when I see the dollar
amount that this Council's -- that's before us to potentially vote to waive is
comparable to a much larger project with the same amount of fees, to me I think -
- I see this as -- as a good decision, so, obviously, I will be supporting the motion.
Bird: Any other questions? Discussion? If not I will entertain a motion.
Little Roberts: Mr. President?
Bird: Mrs. Anna.
Little Roberts: I move that we approve the request to waive the indirect and soft
costs not to exceed 105,000 dollars.
Cavener: Second.
Bird: Motion to approve and a second on waiving 105 dollars -- 105,000 dollars
of soft cost fees for the YMCA building. Mr. Clerk --
Borton: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Borton.
Borton: Just brief discussion. I think it's a wonderfully noble intent. The intent is
noble and I -- and I appreciate that. I can't get myself to make the findings
necessary to support the motion, so -- I know that probably needs to be on the
record as well what those particular findings are, but I don't think it can be done,
so -- I also do think it invites a precedent that -- that we may not want to open the
door to going forward. If our fees have validity in the first place and recapture
costs that are necessary to recapture, so --
Bird: Any other discussion?
Meridian City Council Meeting
March 7, 2017
Page 22 of 31
Palmer: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Palmer.
Palmer: Mr. President, it's often cited that they are paying for a parking lot that
we would normally have to pay for for a park that we are building when -- instead
of trading asphalt for -- for permit fees, I'd much rather us just pay for the parking
lot and not waive permit fees, even if to the same dollar amount where -- if the
parking lot costs more than 105, we pay for the first 105 or figure out some way
of that to just kind of keep the record straight and to solve the issues that
Councilman Borton brought up that the -- the findings are hard to quantify or kind
of a stretch to -- to get us there.
Bird: Any other discussion? We got the motion and second. Call for the
question. Mr. Clerk.
Roll Call: Bird, yea; Borton, nay; Milam, yea; Cavener, yea; Palmer, nay; Little
Roberts, yea.
Bird: Four to two. Passes. Thank you.

by Fulbright Investments, LLC Located 1510 S.
Celebration Avenue
1. Request: Short plat two (2) commercial lots on
approximately 1.77 acres in the C-G zoning district
Bird: Item E, public hearing for Destination Place H-2017-0013. I will open the
public hearing and I don't think you're Mr. Parsons, but Mr. -- Bruce, you're Mr.
Parsons tonight.
Chatterton: Mayor Bird. I'm sorry, I just wanted to say that. Mayor Bird and
Council, Destination Place No. 3 consists of 1.77 acres, zoned C-G, located at
1510 South Celebration Avenue. This proposed short plat depicts two
commercial lots on, as I mentioned, 1.77 acres of land. The plat is a
resubdivision of Lot 2, Block 2 of Destination Place Subdivision. All lots in the
proposed subdivision comply with the dimensional standards of the C -G zoning
district. A 6,200 square foot restaurant is approved and proposed to be
constructed on Lot 2A. Future development of Lot 2B will require the approval of
a certificate of zoning compliance and administrative design review application
prior to applying for a building permit. Staff finds the proposed plat to be in
substantial compliance with these requirements and recommends the approval
as proposed. Carl Porter -- a written testimony. Carl Porter representing the

place and stand for any questions that you may have.
Bird: You agree with the staff report?
Porter: We are in agreement with the staff report.
Bird: Any questions for the applicant? Thank you very much.
Porter: Thank you, Mr. President.
Bird: Is there anybody in the public that -- this is a public hearing and would like
to testify? Seeing none, Council, I would entertain a motion to close the public

Item 9: Department Reports
A. Finance and HR: Benefits Roadshow for FY2018 Budget
Bird: Thank you. Department Reports. Item A, Finance and HR, benefits
roadshow. Crystal or Todd, which one? No. Christena gets it.
Barney: While they are getting my presentation set up -- good evening, Mr.
Council President, Members of Council. It's nice to be in front of you this
evening. I stand before you to present the first in a series of informational
presentations known as the Finance and HR roadshow, which kicks off the
presentations for the FY-18 budget. I will wait for them to get that up real quick.
There we go. All right. Thank you. So, we have a full agenda of items to
present to you this evening. I don't anticipate dominating a whole lot of your
time, but this is for informational purposes. We will be communicating a lot of
information that will have significant budgetary impacts. The information will be
presented in a series to allow you time to process and, then, we will be back in
front of you in a few weeks for some direction and guidance. So, as I said, this is
the series that we will be coming into . This is the roadshow, as you call it. This
evening's focus is on healthcare benefits, which is my specialty. Next week we
will be back with a presentation for the city's compensation plan and, then, the
following week we will be back -- Todd will be back to do the allowable three
percent property tax projections and, then, receive your guidance and direction
for all three topics. So, just as a reminder, it's been a little while since I have
been in front of you going over benefits information , so I did want to remind you
that the city does have a standard operating process . It's titled group health and
related benefits policy. This policy is in place to outline the benefits that are
available to city employees, who qualifies for those benefits and, then, the
information we were required to provide those qualified employees. Also as a
federal mandate the city complies with the requirements of the Afforda ble Care
Act by offering benefits to all city employees who meet the ACA minimum
eligibility and I will get a little more into it. The last bullet there. So, any
employee that works 30 or more hours per week more than six months is
considered benefit eligible in the eyes of the ACA and IRS. We do have a
benefits committee that meets pretty much year around. You can see the
committee members that are listed here. The purpose of the committee is to
support and implement the strategic plan objective 3.B.1 to develop a cost-
effective and comprehensive benefits plan. It is important to know as we move
through the budget process that in order to continue to attract and retain high
caliber employees and be a premier city, the city must have a competitive and
Meridian City Council Meeting
March 7, 2017
Page 25 of 31
effective benefit program in place. So, when the committee meets these are
some of the goals that we strive to achieve . Create a competitive benefit
package that will attack -- attract and reach and retain employees, manage costs
for the city, as well as our employees, that is sustainable. Remain compliant with
the ACA and, then, provide employee choice. We do currently contract with
Mercer as our benefits broker. They assist us with providing market trends,
comparisons, guiding and educating our benef its committee, just keeping us in
the know of what the landscape looks like as healthcare is ever-changing and,
then, within the last eight years they have been able to negotiate almost 900,000
dollars in premium reductions, so they have done a good job in assisting us.
Some of the factors that the benefits committee has to take in consideration
before they make a recommendation to Council for approval is that the benefits
plan is fair and competitive, that it's fiscally responsible, it attracts -- attracts and
retains. We have to consider our experience rating and I will get more into that in
a minute. Employee choice and, then, ACA compliant. Those are all moving
parts that have to be considered before we can make a recommendation for any
benefit changes. And I'm sure you probably have all seen the hype about the
new administration changes. Everything is still unclear. There was a proposal
made last night, but I do want to reiterate it is a proposal at this point and I will
get into a little bit more of that later in this presentation. Here is where we landed
for 2017. So, our current employee benefits are in place. There were no plan
design changes and you received a rate pass from all of our benefit venders for
2017. We have 368 employees enrolled in the Preferred Blue, which is the
traditional medical plan and, then, we have 26 employees enrolled in the high-
deductible plan, which we began last year. So, this is the second year for that
plan. In 2017 -- this is just a brief breakdown of the employee premium. So, we
instituted a 40 dollar employee premium two years ago and of the employees
currently enrolled in the plan, 290 of them are paying zero premium. So, they
were able to buy that 40 dollar premium down by wellness participation and
nontobacco use. So, what does this all mean? Good news for us. Looking year
over year we have increased participation in wellness programs. We have
decreased sick leave usage and we have decreased our medical experience
rating. Why is that important? This information helps determine an ROI for the
wellness program, which appears to have a direct correlation with our medical
premiums and indirectly to our productivity. We have come a long way in the
wellness program and I'm very proud of what we have accomplished. Wellness,
however, is an ever change -- is ever changing with the needs of the employees,
regulations, et cetera. So, we will always continue to make improvements and
changes to our program to accommodate the changing landscape. Rates and
ratings. How are our medical rates determined? So, I have thrown out
experience rating a couple times already in this presentation. It has c ome to my
attention that not everyone knows what that means. Experience rating is derived
from the amount of premium that the city pays to Blue Cross versus the amount
of claims they pay out. That develops our experience rating and that helps
determine what our premium rates are going to look like for the next year . So, I
divert for a moment to give you some persp ective. A significant factor to our
Meridian City Council Meeting
March 7, 2017
Page 26 of 31
experience rating is how we use our medical benefits , also known as
consumerism. Consumerism is knowing your benefits, knowing your treatment
options and making wise decisions. For instance, if someone has a cold over the
weekend, it's possible the best option is for them to wait until Monday to go see
their regular physician. Second would be urgent care and most expensive , least
optimal option, would be to go to the ER. Knowing available options and how
they affect the premium rates will be our employees education focus for this year.
So, I have discussed with Mercer some education that we are going to push out
to the employees that helps them understand experience rating and
consumerism and how their medical choice s affect their coworkers and the
premiums that everyone pays as a whole . So, with that in mind, if we have an
experience rating over a hundred percent Blue -- which means Blue Cross has
paid out more in premium -- or more in claims than we have paid in premiums,
we are likely going to see an increase in our experience rating and our
premiums. If the experience rating is below one hundred percent, optimally at 85
percent, we will see little to no increase. Last year we were very lucky. We had
102 percent experience rating and still received a rate pass. So, last year was
very nice. All of our choices as users of the benefits affects the bottom line. So,
that is going to be our communication to the employees. Thankfully we were
able to end 2016 calendar year with a 14-year low rating of 85.48 percent
experience, which is very exciting. I'm very proud of that. However, please,
keep in mind that the uncertainty of the future of the ACA may -- may have an
impact on our rates as a whole. Planning and looking forward. The benefits
committee will continue to meet to discuss plan design structure and funding for
the coming year. Finance has budgeted a 3.02 placeholder for the FY-18
budget. There is a chart below that shows the total insurance cost from 2002 to
2016 and in the budgeted cost for 2017 and '18 taking into account the -- the
placeholder. Actual 2018 rates will not be available until mid or late summer.
So, I will be back to discuss those rates with you and any recommendations that
the Council may have. Human resources will continue to monitor and provide a
formal recommendation for the FY-80 budget as renewal rates and data become
available. Just as a reminder, this is for informational purposes only and I do
have a packet that you can take with you to review the information, make any
notes that you may have. We will be back next week with more information on
the compensation plan and, then, again, on the 21st for property tax projections
and, then, seek guidance and direction at that time. Also the FY-18 budget
recommendations can be updated and changed until July 19th . Thank you for
your time and your attention this evening and I will stand for questions.
Bird: Any questions for Christena?
Little Roberts: Mr. President?
Bird: Mrs. Ann --
Meridian City Council Meeting
March 7, 2017
Page 27 of 31
Little Roberts: Christena, you mentioned in the beginning and I may have written
it down wrong. That you -- if you're an employee for 30 hours a week or more
and been six months --
Barney: Uh-huh.
Little Roberts: -- I thought it was 60 days. Is it different from a municipality or are
there some different levels?
Barney: No. The IRS states it's 130 hours in a month. It works out to about 30
hours a week. If we -- we look at a six-month period. If we know that the
employee is going to exceed the 30 hours or 130 hours in that six month period,
we go ahead and deem them eligible at the time of hire. So, that we are not
missing any of them or we are following all the regulations for the ACA and IRS.
Little Roberts: Follow up.
Bird: Go ahead.
Little Roberts: Do the majority of our employees meet that?
Barney: The full time, of course. We have about 90 percent or so of the
seasonals that do meet that threshold. With some of the proposed changes that
the Trump administration has proposed. One of them is repealing the mandate
that requires employers to provide benefits for those employees . So, that -- if
that goes through that may be something that we would need to come back to
Council and get some guidance on.
Little Roberts: Okay. Thank you.
Barney: Okay.
Bird: Any other questions for Christena? Christena, I got a -- it's off the subject,
but in your process -- and I don't know whether you or Crystal, but I would like to
know the retainage -- the turnover in our city of full-time employees. Not
retirements or part-time. I'd like to know the percentage if I could get it.
Barney: Okay. Certainly.
Bird: Okay. Thank you. And thanks for the presentation.
Barney: Of course. Thank you.
B. Finance: FY2017 Fund Balance Transfer
Meridian City Council Meeting
March 7, 2017
Page 28 of 31
Bird: That was very informative. Council, we got Mr. Todd coming up. Or is he
sending Jenny? Thanks, Christena, very much.
Lavoie: Well, thank you, Mr. President, Members of the Council. Again,
appreciate allowing us to present to you tonight. Again, tonight we are
presenting to you the recommendation from the Finance Department to you as
the Council on the amount of money to transfer from the General Fund to Fund
55, which is our capital improvement fund. You should have received some
supporting documents in your Council packet that goes along with this
presentation. So, again, today we are going to talk about the proposal that
Finance is recommending to Council to consider for funds to be transferred from
General Fund 01 to Fund 55. We are also going to talk about a proposal for
funds to be transferred from the General Fund 01 to Public Safety 08 and, then,
we will stand for any questions and stand for any actions that you wish to take
based on these proposals that we are recommending to you tonight. So, again,
the Fund 55 transfer, there is a city code, which is on the screen for you there
that talks about any excess revenues generated by the Community Developm ent
Department in the whole can be considered to be transferred on an annual basis
to the Capital Improvement Fund for expenses to be incurred at a later date. So,
we are here to inform you that the Community Development Department as --
has provided the city with excess revenues for fiscal year 2016 in the amount of
2.275 million. So, the Finance Department is in the position to make a proposal
to you based on the actual results from fiscal year 2016 and we are proposing
the full access revenues generated by the Community Development Department
to be transferred to Fund 55 for future capital needs for the City of Meridian,
which would take the current fund balance of 55 from 5.6 million to 7.9 million if
the action is taken by Council to move the funds from 01 to Fund 55. Down at
the bottom you will see that the General Fund generated a total excess
accumulation of a little over three million, which we presented to you last month
from our quarterly update. The four -- the five items that generated the three
million dollars -- you can see that Community Development generated an excess
revenue of 2.2. Impact fees generated an excess of 2.2. And, then, the three
following items generated a net deficit of the dollar amount accordingly there.
We add them all up you get your three million dollars total for our government
General Fund 01. So, again, with the General Fund generating a positive
position of three million overall, we do stand with the proposal to move the 2.2
from 01 to Fund 50 -- Fund 55. Apologize.
Bird: Todd, can I interrupt you?
Lavoie: Yes, sir.
Bird: Would you explain the General Fund, the one million, what that -- what that
is? That's -- isn't that a payback?
Meridian City Council Meeting
March 7, 2017
Page 29 of 31
Lavoie: The General Fund one million deficit would be the property tax portion of
the General Fund that is going to be the expenses incurred by the General
Services, the Public Safety, the Administration Department, the Parks
Department. These are going to be dollars most likely spent on capital needs
that were carried from year to year. So, these dollars we are t apping into the
fund balance to make sure those capital items that were previously approved
continue to be moved -- continued forward in fiscal '16.
Bird: Thank you.
Lavoie: You're welcome.
Borton: Mr. President?
Bird: Yes.
Borton: One quick question on this slide. Impact fees are already restricted
funds; correct?
Lavoie: Mr. President, Councilman Borton, you are correct. All impact fees are
restricted by ordinance. Therefore, the impact fees are not really up for
discussion. Fund 7 stays independent to itself. So, with that we also have
another proposal for you of Fund 8, which is our Public Safety Fund. Every year
we present to you what we believe could occur for Fund 8. As the slide says and
the document that we provided you, we do not feel that in fiscal year '16 we had
excess revenues that would be comfortable to propose to you to transfer funds to
Fund 8. Again, the General Fund number at the very bottom is the number that
we are kind of looking at. Did the General Fund generate excess revenues to
accommodate a proposal. The Finance Department at this -- at this time does
not propose to transfer from 01 to Fund 08 for your Public Safety Fund. But,
again, you are allowed to make a recommendation. In the documents that I have
provided you were the balances for all major funds for you to consider. For the
Finance Department for fiscal year '16 we are not proposing a transfer of funds
from 01 to Fund 08 at this time. I can stand for any questions on Fund 8 if you
have any.
Bird: Any question for Todd at all? Very plain. Thank you.
Lavoie: So, with that, again, there is a document I provided to you. If you wish to
take action on the proposals by the Finance Department to you in regards to
Fund 01, transfers to Fund 55 and fund date.
Bird: Mr. Nary, do we do that -- do we have to come back with a resolution to
transfer them or just a motion?
Nary: Mr. President, Members of the Council, just a motion is all you need.
Meridian City Council Meeting
March 7, 2017
Page 30 of 31
Bird: Okay. Council, what's your pleasure?
Borton: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Borton.
Borton: That seems well explained and justified. There is not a request to
transfer to 08. So, it's a single request to transfer from Fund 01 to Fund 55 for
capital improvements.
Lavoie: Mr. President, Councilman Borton, that is correct.
Borton: Mr. President, I would move to approve the recommended fund transfer
from Fund 01 to Fund 055 in the amount of 2,275,054 dollars.
Milam: Second.
Little Roberts: Second.
Bird: Okay. Got a motion and second. Any discussion? Seeing none, Mr.
Clerk.

Bird: Council, that takes care of the business. We got any future meeting
topics?
Milam: Mr. President?
Bird: Mrs. Milam.
Milam: Not a future meeting topic, but just wanted to r emind everybody that
there is a new artist upstairs in the gallery and that it's a beautiful exhibit and I
encourage all of you to go take a look at the artwork.
Bird: Thank you. Any other -- I would entertain a motion to adjourn.
Milam: So moved.

D. Applicant's Statement/Justification: Please see applicant’s narrative for this information.
Rainier Villas H-2017-0008 - 2 -
V. PROCESS FACTS
The subject application is for a modification to the final plat. By reason of the provisions of the
Meridian City Code Title 11, Chapter 5, the City Council is the decision making body on this matter.
A public meeting is required to be held for this type of application.
VI. LAND USE
A. Existing Land Use(s): The site is currently vacant commercial property, zoned C-G.
B. Character of Surrounding Area and Adjacent Land Use and Zoning:
North: Vacant commercial property, zoned C-G
South: Self-storage facility, zoned C-G
East: Trade Plaza Subdivision, zoned C-G
West: Vacant and developed commercial property, zoned C-G
C. History of Previous Actions: In 2016 a preliminary plat was approved consisting of fifteen (15)
multi-family residential lots and five (5) common lots; a conditional use permit was also
concurrently approved for the property to have 90 multi-family units (H-2016-0041).
Also in 2016, a final plat was approved consisting of fifteen (15) multi-family residential lots and
five (5) common lots (H-2016-0107).
VII. STAFF ANALYSIS
As noted above, the applicant received approval to develop this property with 90 multi-family units
on fifteen (15) buildable lots. After receiving development approval, the applicant is in the process of
acquiring the four (4) commercial lots north of the proposed development. A pending CUP
application has been heard by the Planning and Zoning Commission to increase the number of units
from 90 to 180. During the hearing several requests were made by the applicant (delay construction of
the roadway, allow development before the final plat records etc.) that affected the approved final
plat. The Planning and Zoning Commission continued the application to March 2nd, to allow the
applicant sufficient time to get a final plat modification application before City Council and address
the Commission’s concerns they had with the changes being requested to the final plat. The proposed
requests are consistent with the requests discussed at the Planning and Zoning Commission hearing.
NOTE: A condition of approval in the pending CUP application also requires the applicant to obtain
approval of a final plat modification prior to applying for a certificate of zoning compliance
application.
The applicant is seeking Council’s approval to reduce the number of buildable lots and modify
several conditions of approval (Site Specific Conditions of Approval #9 and #14) approved with the
final plat application. The modifications are desired so the applicant can:
1) Record a plat consistent with the new site layout and commence with the first phase of construction
prior to recording a final plat as shown in Exhibit C and;
2) Delay the construction of W. Corporate Drive with the development of the second phase.
Now that the pending project has increased in acreage and density, the project as previously approved
does not comport to the approved final plat or the previous CUP site plan. Further, it is the applicant’s
desire to phase the project from the north to the south.
Currently, the 5.3 acre parcel, approved with the final plat, is not eligible for a building permit until a
final plat is recorded. Because the scope of the project has changed significantly, the applicant would
like greater flexibility with the development of the property. Staff is supportive of the requested
changes based on the modifications to site specific conditions #9 and #14 as follows:
9. W. Corporate Drive and associated street landscape buffer shall be constructed in its entirety with
this the second phase of development however; with the construction of the first phase of
development the applicant shall provide an access to the signalized intersection of W.
Rainier Villas H-2017-0008 - 3 -
Corporate Drive and Meridian Road as proposed in Exhibit C. The associated landscape
buffer and 5-foot detached sidewalk shall be constructed with each subsequent phase. The
applicant will also be required to construct a water main through the project to complete a
loop from Pennwood through the east drive access connection to W. Corporate Drive.
14. The applicant shall record the final plat prior to receiving issuance of any certificate of
occupancies in the first phase of development applying for any building permits.
Staff is supportive of the requested changes to the final plat. The requested changes are shown in Exhibit
D.

SUBJECT: Silverstone Apartments – AZ, CPAM, CUP (H-2016-0060)
Note: This project was heard on July 7, 2016 by the Planning and Zoning Commission. During the
hearing, public testimony inadvertently excluded the 42.18 acres from the applicant’s CPAM request.
The applicant’s application materials clearly stated their intent to include the 42.18 acres that was
originally part of the City of Boise’s AOCI. Further, the applicant has received approvals from the City
of Boise and correspondence from our Public Works Department that support the inclusion of this
property. The Clerk’s office noticed the property as such and all of the notices to the adjacent property
owners included the correct information. To ensure the public record reflects the entire scope of the
CPAM application, staff has updated the staff report that includes the 42.18 acre property as part of
the CPAM application.
I. SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF APPLICANT’S REQUEST
The applicant, DevCo, LLC, has submitted an application for the following:
An amendment to the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) contained in the Comprehensive Plan
(CPAM) to change the land use designation on 25.97 acres of land from Medium Density
Residential (MDR) to Mixed Use-Regional (MU-R); and 42.18 acres to the Medium
Density Residential Comprehensive Plan Land Use designation.
Annexation and zoning (AZ) of 14.41 acres of land from the RUT zoning district in Ada
County to the C-G zoning district;
Conditional use permit (CUP) for a multi-family development consisting of 312 dwelling
units in the C-G district.
See Section IX of the staff report for more information.
II. SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the proposed CPAM, AZ and CUP applications in accord with the
conditions of approval in Exhibit B and the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law in Exhibit D.
The Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission heard these items on July 7, 2016. At the public
hearing, the Commission moved to recommend approval of the subject CPAM, AZ and CUP
requests.

Silverstone Apartments – CPAM, AZ, CUP H-2016-0060 PAGE 4
E. Physical Features:
1. Canals/Ditches Irrigation: The Eight Mile Creek is south of the proposed development and
should not impact the development of this property however, there is a smaller drainage ditch
that needs to be relocated or tiled with the development of the multi-family project.
2. Hazards: Staff is not aware of any hazards that exist on this property.
3. Flood Plain: A portion of the site along the Eight Mile Creek is located in the Meridian
Floodplain Overlay District. It appears the area proposed for the multi-family project is
outside of this area.
VII. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS
LAND USE DESIGNATION (CURRENT): This property is designated Medium Density Residential
(MDR) on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (FLUM). The MDR designation allows
smaller lots for residential purposes within City limits. Uses typically include single family homes at
densities of 3 to 8 dwelling units per acre. See Exhibit A.2 for current FLUM.
LAND USE DESIGNATION (PROPOSED): The applicant proposes to amend the FLUM to change the
land use designation on 25.97 acres of land from Medium Density Residential (MDR) to Mixed-Use
Regional (MU-R) and 42.18 acres to Medium Density Residential Land Use designation.
Mixed-Use Regional: The purpose of the Mixed-Use Regional designation is to provide a mix of
employment, retail, and residential dwellings and public uses near major arterial intersections. The
intent is to integrate a variety of uses together, including residential, and to avoid predominantly
single use developments such as a regional retail center with only restaurants and other commercial
uses. Developments should be anchored by uses that have a regional draw with the appropriate
supporting uses. For example, an employment center should have support retail uses; a retail center
should have supporting residential uses as well as supportive neighborhood and community services.
The standards for the MU-R designation provide an incentive for larger public and quasi-public uses
where they provide a meaningful and appropriate mix to the development. The developments are
encouraged to be designed according to the conceptual MU-R plan depicted in Figure 3-5 (Below).
Silverstone Apartments – CPAM, AZ, CUP H-2016-0060 PAGE 5
Medium Density Residential: The purpose of the Medium Density designation is to allow
smaller lots for residential purposes within City limits. Uses may include single-family homes at
gross densities of three to eight dwelling units per acre. Density bonuses may be considered with
the provision of public amenities such as open space, pathways, or land dedicated for public
services.
TRANSPORTATION: The Master Street Map depicts a future north/south collector road in this area.
The construction of this roadway is not proposed with the development of the multi-family
development however, the proposed concept plan identifies a future road connection to Overland
Road farther to the east. Although the applicant is proposing Overland Road access with the multi-
family development, to increase inter-connectivity as envisioned in the Comprehensive Plan, staff
recommends that the applicant grant cross access to the properties to the east and south with the
development of the multi-family project. Further, the one access point to Overland Road is predicated
on ACHD and City Council granting the approval. The transportation system for the MDR
portion of the site will be reviewed with a future development application.
DESIGN: The design of future structures on this site are required to comply with the design standards
listed in UDC 11-3A-19 and the City of Meridian Architectural Standards Manual. The development
should incorporate high quality architectural design and materials consistent with the MU-R
designation. In order for the development to be considered integrated with the adjacent MU-R
designated property to the west, the proposed mixed use area (multi-family and future commercial
development) should be cohesive in site layout and architectural design of the business park to the
west.
The proposed concept plan depicts a multi-family development and future commercial property. The
multi-family portion of the plan depicts 15 multi-family residential structures, containing a total of
312 dwelling units at a net density of 23.2 units/acre. The proposed density falls within the density
range (6 to 40 units/acre) desired in MU-R designated areas.
The commercial portion depicts ten (10) buildings, including a portion of which falls within the
jurisdiction of the City of Boise’s Area of City Impact. These buildings vary in size from 40,000 s.f.
to the smallest pad site of 3,500 s.f. The proposed plan depicts future layout, future connectivity to a
public road road and internal connectivity (vehicular and pedestrian) with the multi-family
development. In general, staff is supportive of the concept plan however; staff would encourage the
applicant align the driveway between the future commercial and multi-family on the east boundary
with the drive aisle between buildings D and F.
There is not development proposed for the MDR portion of the site, At this time, the applicant
is only requesting a land use designation. Staff anticipates more details of how this property will
develop with a future development application.
GOALS, OBJECTIVES, & ACTION ITEMS: Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to
be applicable to this application and apply to the proposed use of this property (staff analysis in
italics):
“Support a variety of residential categories (low-, medium-, medium-high and high-density
single-family, multi-family, townhouses, duplexes, apartments, condominiums, etc.) for the
purpose of providing the City with a range of affordable housing opportunities.” (3.07.01E)
The proposed multi-family residential development will contribute to the variety of residential
uses that currently exist in this area (i.e. low and medium density). Staff is unaware of how
“affordable” the units will be.
Silverstone Apartments – CPAM, AZ, CUP H-2016-0060 PAGE 6
“Provide housing options close to employment and shopping centers.” (3.07.02D)
Because of its location in close proximity to the Silverstone Business Park, nearby shopping
centers), and major transportation corridors (I-84 and SH-55/Eagle Road), this property is
ideal for providing higher density housing options.
“Locate high-density development, where possible, near open space corridors or other
permanent major open space and park facilities, Old Town, and near major access
thoroughfares.” (3.07.02N)
The proposed multi-family development is located in close proximity to major access
thoroughfares (i.e. I-84 and SH-55/Eagle Road) within the City.
“Protect existing residential properties from incompatible land use development on adjacent
parcels.” (3.06.01F)
The existing rural residential properties to the north are across a major arterial roadway and
should not be impacted by the proposed multi-family development on the south side of
Overland Road.
“Require all new and reconstructed parking lots to provide landscaping in internal islands
and along streets.” (2.01.04B)
Landscaping is proposed within planter islands in the parking areas on this site as shown on
the landscape plan attached in Exhibit A.5.
“Permit new development only where urban services can be reasonably provided at the time
of final approval and development is contiguous to the City.” (3.01.01F)
This property is contiguous to land that has already been annexed into the City. Urban
services can be provided to this property upon development.
“Amend the Unified Development Code and Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map to
ensure a wide variety of housing types can be developed and properly zoned and land is
available” (3.07.01A)
The area in the vicinity of Eagle Road and the I-84/Eagle Road interchange is limited in
housing options. The proposed project would promote housing diversity and provide greater
opportunities for residents to live near their place of employment and shopping centers.
“Adopt land use designations that will allow for housing opportunities for all income levels.”
(3.07.01D)
Few of the major employment areas within the City are adequately supported with enough
housing options. Density near employment centers allow for workforce housing and promote
community resiliency, potentially reducing commute times and expenses, and allowing for
increased community and economic engagement.
“Require landscape street buffers for new development along all entryway corridors.”
(2.01.02E)
A 35-foot wide landscape buffer is required along E. Overland Road, an arterial street, in
accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7C Landscape Buffers along Streets.
“Provide for a wide diversity of housing types (single-family, modular, mobile homes and
multi-family arrangements) and choices between ownership and rental dwelling units for all
income groups in a variety of locations suitable for residential development.” (3.07.03B)
The development of multi-family homes on this site will contribute to the variety of housing
types available in this part of the City.
Silverstone Apartments – CPAM, AZ, CUP H-2016-0060 PAGE 7
“Restrict private curb cuts and access points on collectors and arterial streets.” (3.06.02D)
The UDC (11-3A-3) restricts access to arterial streets when access is available from a local
street. The applicant has indicated that they will construct an access to the existing stub
street at E. Pewter Falls Street. The proposed access to Overland Road is predicated on the
applicant obtaining a waiver from City Council and obtaining ACHD’s approval.
“Consistent with the Transportation and Land Use Integration Plan, require all new
residential neighborhoods to provide sidewalks, curb and gutters, and complete streets.”
(3.07.02B)
Curb, gutter and sidewalks already exist along E. Overland Road. Portions between the curb
and the sidewalk are improved with gravel. With the development of the multi-family project,
the applicant should replace the existing gravel with vegetative groundcover in accord with
UDC 11-3B-7C.
STATE REQUIRED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANALYSIS
Idaho’s counties and cities are required by law, Idaho Code 67-6508, to prepare, implement, review,
and update a comprehensive plan which outlines goals and policies for land use. Fourteen elements
which must be addressed in the plan are listed in the Code. It is the detailed ordinances that then spell
out how these policies are to be achieved.
The order in which the following policies are presented implies no order or priority.
a. Property Rights
The purpose of this element is to ensure that the land use policies, restrictions, conditions, and
fees do not unconstitutionally violate private property rights, and establish a consistent review
process that enable the City to ensure that any proposed actions will not result in an
unconstitutional taking of private property without due process of law. Staff finds that the
requested Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment, Annexation and Conditional Use Permit would
not unconstitutionally violate private property rights. A neighborhood meeting was held on April
27, 2016 of which 4 people attended (see sign-up sheet included in application).
b. Population
The City of Meridian must ensure that population growth is accommodated in an orderly pattern.
Residential and commercial developments must be easily served by City infrastructure and public
services. Necessary services are currently available to the subject site and should still be available
upon development of the site.
c. School Facilities and Transportation
The purpose of this element is to direct new residential development to areas with adequate
school facilities and student transportation. A letter was received from the West Ada School
District stating that the proposed development is predicted to generate approximately 250 school
aged children (spread over all grade levels) which West Ada School District claims will have a
significant impact on schools in the district most of which are already operating at or over
capacity.
d. Economic Development
Meridian’s economic base has been gradually shifting over the last 20 years from a farming-based
economy to a retail, service, medical and manufacturing-based economy. During this time, local
policy with regard to the types of lands needed to support the economic and employment needs of
the community has also changed. The Comprehensive Plan forecasts the need to continually
Silverstone Apartments – CPAM, AZ, CUP H-2016-0060 PAGE 8
adjust the provision of commercial lands in order to gradually broaden economic opportunity
throughout the City.
The subject property is currently identified as appropriate for Medium-Density Residential uses.
However, because the site is located near major transit corridors (I-84 and Eagle Road/SH-55)
and commercial and employment uses and services, Staff finds the proposed MU-R designation is
appropriate for this site.
e. Land Use
The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map is a graphic representation of applicable policies
and goals of Meridian’s Comprehensive Plan. The Map has been prepared to identify suitable
areas for future residential, commercial, and industrial development. The Map is designed to be a
projection of growth patterns for the City. Therefore, the Map is to be used as a guide for
decisions regarding requests for land use changes.
f. Natural Resources
The purpose of this element is to promote conservation of areas of natural significance, where
appropriate. Staff is not aware of any natural resources that exist on this site that would be
impacted by the proposed development.
g. Hazardous Areas
The purpose of this element is to ensure regulation of development in hazardous areas, such as
floodplains, unstable slopes, etc. Staff is unaware of any hazardous areas on this site.
h. Public Services, Facilities, and Utilities
City water and sewer service is available to the subject property and will be extended upon
development by the developer.
i. Transportation
The purpose of this element is to promote an efficient and safe transportation system within the
City. The proposed development will increase traffic within this area of the City; however, the
nearby traffic corridors (i.e. Eagle Road/SH-55 and I-84) should provide efficient and safe
transportation to and from the development. With the development of the multi-family project the
applicant will need to construct an access road that connects the proposed multi-family
development with E. Pewter Falls Street to facilitate access to a signalized intersection. The
proposed development is also within walking and biking distance of many services, employment
centers, public transit and public parks. The mixed use standards encourage integrated
transportation connections. Additional access for the area, as shown on the concept plan, will be
provided when the surrounding properties are developed and reviewed and approved with
future development applications.
j. Recreation
Recreation resources within Meridian include 19 developed City parks totaling approximately
240 acres. The City is in the process of developing new park facilities. The City also maintains
several pathways. This site is not formally designated for recreational purposes. However, the site
is located within a couple of miles of Kleiner Park, a 60-acre regional park (Fairview Ave./Eagle
Rd.) and Storey Park, a 16+/- acre city park (Franklin Rd/Main St.)
k. Special Areas or Sites
The subject amendment does not directly impact any lands designated for open space, natural
resources, or scenic areas, nor does the parcel contain any known significant or sensitive natural
resources.
Silverstone Apartments – CPAM, AZ, CUP H-2016-0060 PAGE 9
l. Housing
The City of Meridian is charged with ensuring an adequate and attractive living environment
which meets the needs of City residents of different ages, family sizes, lifestyles, and income
levels. To accomplish this, the plan identifies areas appropriate for residential development and
areas not appropriate. This site is currently designated for residential uses. The applicant proposes
to change the land use designation on this property to MU-R and develop multi-family residential
uses on the site at a gross density of 23.2 units/acre. Under the mixed use standards it is
anticipated that future residential development will range in densities between 6 to 40 dwelling
units to the acre. Staff believes the proposed change will provide housing opportunities near
employment, shopping and medical services in close proximity to major transportation corridors
(i.e. I-84 and Eagle Road/SH-55).
m. Community Design
The purpose of this element is to ensure a pattern of planned growth resulting in orderly and
attractive developments within the City of Meridian. The intended use of this property is a high-
density residential development consisting of 15 buildings with a total of 312 residential units. To
ensure quality design, all future structures will be required to comply with the City’s design
standards contained in UDC 11-3A-19 and the City of Meridian Architectural Standards Manual.
n. Agriculture
The subject amendment will impact areas being used for farming activities. The multi-family
development will be constructed on land that was previously used as farm land.
o. Implementation
The City provides the necessary staff and facilities to administer and enforce the policies and
goals of the Comprehensive Plan. The City of Meridian Planning Division will administer the
Comprehensive Plan and its policies through the Unified Development Code. The Planning &
Zoning Commission is also authorized by the Council to review, approve and make
recommendations on proposals affecting the public’s interest in land use. The City Council is the
ultimate decision making authority on most land use applications.
p. National Interest Electric Transmission Corridors
This site is not designated for a high-voltage transmission line corridor.
q. Public Airport Facilities
This site is not designated for a public airport facility.
SUMMARY: Because this site is located near Eagle Road/SH-55 and I-84, major transportation
corridors in the City, and is in close proximity to shopping, employment and service uses, staff
believes the MU-R and MDR designations and proposed development is appropriate for this
property.
If the change to the FLUM is approved, the proposed development will contribute to the mix of
housing types in this area at a density desired in MU-R designated areas. The development will also
provide housing options near commercial and employment areas located along Eagle Road and in the
general vicinity. Convenient access to services and jobs for residents would also be provided.
VIII. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE (UDC)
A. Purpose Statement of Zone (C-G): The purpose of the commercial districts is to provide for the retail
and service needs of the community in accordance with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan. Six (6)
Silverstone Apartments – CPAM, AZ, CUP H-2016-0060 PAGE 10
districts are designated which differ in the size and scale of commercial structures accommodated in
the district, the scale and mix of allowed commercial uses, and the location of the district in proximity
to streets and highways.
B. Schedule of Use: Table 11-2B-2 lists the principal permitted (P), accessory (A), conditional (C), and
prohibited (-) uses in the proposed C-G zoning district. Any use not explicitly listed, or listed as a
prohibited use is prohibited.
C. Dimensional Standards: Development of the site shall comply with the dimensional standards listed
in UDC 11-2B-3 for the C-G zoning district.
D. Landscaping Standards (UDC 11-3B): The standards for landscaping contained in UDC 11-3B and
11-4-3-27F apply to development of this site.
E. Common Open Space and Site Amenity Requirements: Common open space and site amenities are
required to be provided on the site in accord with the requirements listed in11-4-3-27C and 11-4-3-
27D. The standards listed in UDC 11-3G-3 do not apply to development of this site because the
property is not in a residential district.
F. Structure and Site Design Standards: Development is required to comply with the design
standards listed in UDC 11-3A-19 and the City of Meridian Architectural Standards Manual.
IX. ANALYSIS
Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation:
A. Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment (CPAM):
The applicant proposes to amend the FLUM contained in the Comprehensive Plan to change the
land use designation on 25.97 acres of land from Medium-Density Residential to Mixed Use-
Regional.
A concept plan for the entire proposed MU-R area was submitted with the subject application.
The concept plan depicts a mixed use development consisting of ten (10) commercial buildings
ranging in size from 40,000 square feet to 3,500 square feet, access to the future development and
various other commercial site improvements and a 312 unit multi-family development. This is a
first phase of a much larger development that is slated for a future application submittal (see
applicant’s narrative for details). Note: Some of the area still remains within the City of
Boise’s Area of City Impact as shown in Exhibit A.3.
Prior to submitting an application to the City of Meridian, the applicant reached out to
Boise City to determine the likelihood of being able to provide utilities to the 42.18 acres
proposed to be included in the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map. (The property
to be included in the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map is indicated in a purple
box in Exhibit A.2).
It was determined that Boise City could not provide utilities for the property in question. In
a letter dated January 20, 2016 sent to Cody Riddle, the Current Planning Manager for
Boise City, Warren Stewart of the City of Meridian indicated that the area in question was
included in Meridian’s Master Planning for Sanitary Sewer and Water Services and that
the property is serviceable by the City of Meridian (see Exhibit A.7). Subsequently, Boise’s
City Council de-annexed the subject property on April 19, 2016 and a letter was sent to the
applicant stating such (see Exhibit A.8). The applicant is now requesting to include this
42.18 acre parcel into the City of Meridian’s Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map
with the MDR land use designation.
For the reasons stated in Section VII above, Staff is in support of the applicant’s request.
Silverstone Apartments – CPAM, AZ, CUP H-2016-0060 PAGE 11
B. Annexation & Zoning (AZ):
The applicant requests approval to annex and zone 14.41 acres of land with a C-G zoning district
consistent with the proposed FLUM designation of MU-R to develop the multi-family portion of
the property. In the application submittal, the applicant did submit a tentative approval letter from
Ada County Development Services approving a property boundary in the configuration of the
proposed development. Staff recommends that the applicant submit a letter of final approval
from Ada County Development Services for the Boundary Line Adjustment and a recorded
copy of the Record of Survey, prior to approval of the annexation ordinance by City
Council.
The legal description submitted with the application, included in Exhibit C, shows the boundaries
of the property proposed to be annexed and zoned. The property is contiguous to land that has
been annexed into the City and is within the Area of City Impact boundary.
The City may require a development agreement (DA) in conjunction with an annexation pursuant
to Idaho Code section 67-6511A. To ensure the site develops as proposed and recommended by
staff with this application, staff recommends a DA as a provision of annexation with the
provisions included in Exhibit B.
C. Conditional Use Permit (CUP):
A CUP is requested for a multi-family development in the proposed C-G zoning district as
required by UDC Table 11-2A-2.
The multi-family residential development is proposed to consist of 312 dwelling units within (15)
3-story structures on 13.51 acres of land. The units will consist of 204 2-bedroom units and 108
1-bedroom units containing 500s.f. and 1,200 s.f. respectively. A 4,389 s.f. clubhouse is proposed
that will contain a business center, leasing office, exercise room, and enclosed bike storage with a
covered patio. Associated garage (15) and carport structures (25) are also proposed (see site plan
in Exhibit A.4).
Specific Use Standards: The specific use standards for multi-family developments listed in UDC
11-4-3-27 apply to development of this site as follows: (Staff’s comments in italics)
A minimum of 80 square feet (s.f.) of private useable open space is required to be
provided for each unit.
The patios proposed with the submitted floor plans do not comply with the required 80
s.f. of private open space per unit. At the time of Certificate of Zoning Compliance
submittal, the applicant shall revise the floor plans to meet this requirement.
Developments with 20 units or more shall provide a property management office, a
maintenance storage area, a central mailbox location with provisions for parcel mail that
provides safe pedestrian and/or vehicular access and a directory map of the development
at an entrance or convenient location for those entering the development.
The submitted site plan shows the property management office, maintenance storage
area, mailbox location. The site plan submitted with the Certificate of Zoning
Compliance application should depict the location of the directory map.
At a minimum, 250 s.f. of common open space is required for each unit containing more
than 500 s.f. and up to 1,200 s.f. of living area.
Silverstone Apartments – CPAM, AZ, CUP H-2016-0060 PAGE 12
Because all of the proposed units (312) contain between 500 and 1,200 square feet of
living area, a minimum of 78,000 s.f. (or 1.79 acres) of common open space is required
to be provided. A total of 2.55 acres of passive and active open space is proposed.
Common open space is required to be a minimum of 400 s.f. in area with a minimum
length and width dimension of 20 feet. The calculations table depicts 111,383 s.f. of
common open space is proposed.
For multi-family developments with more than one hundred (100) units, the decision
making body shall require additional amenities commensurate to the size of the proposed
development.
Because 312 units are proposed, the Commission should determine if the number of
amenities is proportionate to the size of the proposed development each from at least one
from each category (i.e. quality of life, open space, recreation). The applicant proposes
to provide the following amenities: 1) clubhouse, 2) fitness facility (in the clubhouse), 3)
a swimming pool, 4) a children’s play structure, 5) a 50’x 100’ open grassy area, and 6)
enclosed bicycle storage (within the clubhouse), with the capability of storing
approximately 60 bicycles, and 7) a business center (within the clubhouse) which fall
under the quality of life and recreation categories. The applicant has provided seven (7)
amenities as detailed above. Staff believes the applicant has provided sufficient
amenities for the size of the proposed development.
Landscaping is required to comply with UDC 11-4-3-27-F. All street facing elevations
shall have landscaping along their foundation as follows: the landscaped area shall be at
least 3-feet wide and have an evergreen shrub with a minimum mature height of 24
inches for every 3 linear feet of foundation. The remainder of the area shall be landscaped
with ground cover plans.
The landscape plan submitted with the Certificate of Zoning Compliance should
comply with this requirement for the sides of the structures that face E. Overland
Road.
The development is required to record legally binding documents that state the
maintenance and ownership responsibilities for the management of the development,
including, but not limited to, structures, parking, common areas, and other development
features.
The applicant should submit documentation of compliance with this requirement with
the Certificate of Zoning Compliance application or prior to issuance of Certificate of
Occupancy at the latest.
Access: The primary entrance for the development is from E. Overland Road. The applicant has
also proposed cross-access to the future commercial development to the east and depicts a road to
the southwest corner of the apartments that will provide access to an existing stub street (E.
Pewter Falls Street) from the Silverstone Campus Subdivision.
The Master Street Map depicts a collector street from E. Overland Road through the proposed
development. The applicant proposes to move the street farther east, to align with the future
commercial. This would also provide access to future residential development to the south with a
future development application. ACHD is currently analyzing this request with the applicant’s
traffic impact study. At the time of this staff report, staff had not received comments from ACHD
on the access points to the proposed development. Staff anticipates ACHD’s comments prior to
the Council hearing. With the first phase of development, staff recommends that the
applicant construct a southern access from the multi-family development to connect to E.
Pewter Falls Street.
Silverstone Apartments – CPAM, AZ, CUP H-2016-0060 PAGE 13
Parking: Off-street vehicle parking is required to be provided on the site in accord with the
standards listed in UDC 11-3C-6. For multi-family developments, parking standards are based on
the number of bedrooms per unit – 1-bedroom units require 1.5 spaces per unit with at least one
of those in a covered carport or garage and 2-bedroom units require 2 spaces per unit with at least
one of those in a covered carport or garage.
The proposed multi-family development consist of 108 one-bedroom units and 204 two-bedroom
units bedroom units. A total of 332 covered spaces and 256 open spaces are proposed. The
number of covered and open parking stalls proposed complies with UDC standards.
For the clubhouse, a minimum of one space per 500 square feet of gross floor area is required t o
be provided in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3C-6B. Based on 4,389 square feet, a
minimum of 9 parking spaces are required to be provided.
A minimum of one bicycle parking space for every 25 proposed vehicle spaces or portion thereof

applicant develops the site in accord with the conditions listed in Exhibit B and enters into a
development agreement.
3. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT:
The Commission and Council shall review the particular facts and circumstances of each
proposed conditional use in terms of the following, and may approve a conditional use permit if
they shall find evidence presented at the hearing(s) is adequate to establish:
a. That the site is large enough to accommodate the proposed use and meet all the
dimensional and development regulations in the district in which the use is located.
Council finds that the site is large enough to accommodate the proposed use and meet the
dimensional and development regulations of the C-G zoning district and the specific use
standards for multi-family developments.
b. That the proposed use will be harmonious with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan and
in accord with the requirements of this Title.
Council finds that the proposed multi-family residential use in the C-G zone meets the
objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
c. That the design, construction, operation and maintenance will be compatible with other
uses in the general neighborhood and with the existing or intended character of the
- 26 -
general vicinity and that such use will not adversely change the essential character of
the same area.
Council finds that the general design, construction, operation and maintenance of the multi-
family use will be compatible with existing residential and future commercial uses in the
vicinity and with the existing and intended character of the area and will not adversely change
the character of the area. Council considered all public testimony that was presented to
determine whether or not the proposal will adversely affect the other properties in the area.
d. That the proposed use, if it complies with all conditions of the approval imposed, will
not adversely affect other property in the vicinity.
Council finds that the proposed development should not adversely affect other property in the
vicinity if the applicant complies with all conditions of approval listed in Exhibit B of this
staff report and constructs all improvements and operates the use in accordance with the UDC
standards.
e. That the proposed use will be served adequately by essential public facilities and
services such as highways, streets, schools, parks, police and fire protection, drainage
structures, refuse disposal, water, and sewer.
Council finds that sanitary sewer, domestic water and irrigation can be made available to the
subject property. Please refer to comments prepared by the Public Works Department, Fire
Department, Police Department and other agencies.
f. That the proposed use will not create excessive additional costs for public facilities and
services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community.
Council finds that the applicant will pay to extend the sanitary sewer and water mains into the
site. No additional capital facility costs are expected from the City. The applicant and/or
future property owners will be required to pay impact fees.
g. That the proposed use will not involve activities or processes, materials, equipment and
conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property or the general
welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors.
Council finds that the proposed development should not involve activities that will create
nuisances that would be detrimental to the general welfare of the surrounding area.
Council recognizes the fact that traffic and noise will increase with the approval of this
development; however, whenever undeveloped property is developed, the amount of traffic
generation does increase.
h. That the proposed use will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural,
scenic or historic feature considered to be of major importance.
Council finds that the proposed development will not result in the destruction, loss or damage
of any natural feature(s) of major importance. Council referenced all public testimony that
was presented to determine whether or not the proposed development may destroy or damage
a natural or scenic feature(s) of major importance of which Council is unaware.

Dear Mr. Rush:
Mayor Tammy de Weerd
City Council Members:
Keith Bird Joe Borton
Luke Cavener Genesis Milam
Ty Palmer Anne Little Roberts
f
The City of Meridian has reviewed the Environmental Assessment (EA) for the US 20/26
Corridor Study, I-84 to Eagle Road, and respectfully submits this letter. Efficient
movement of commuters, goods, and services into and through this area is currently
hampered due to the current lane configuration of US 20/26 (Chinden Boulevard). The
City of Meridian has been actively working to ensure traffic concerns for the area are
addressed more immediately, specifically the widening of Chinden to accommodate the
current traveling public in a way that meets the safety, mobility, as well as the economic
development needs of all.
The City is generally supportive of the Corridor Study and the associated EA; however,
we have received concerns from adjacent property owners about the impact of the
Continuous Flow Intersection (CFI) shown at the Chinden/Linder intersection. The CFI's
footprint significantly impacts all of the adjacent properties, essentially decimating
landscape buffers. Further, the CFI design unnecessarily restricts access to adjacent
properties. It is our hope that as the trigger date for construction of the intersection
improvement nears; another more innovative and property owner friendly solution will
develop.
Our number one priority is obtaining immediate capacity improvements to the corridor.
Unfortunately, many improvements called for in the Corridor Study are decades away.
We support ITD in the development of a short and long-term phasing plan for widening
the travel lanes and intersections along this corridor, but more needs to be done sooner.

After the EA is approved, we encourage ITD to identify funding sources and begin
programming and making additional improvements to the corridor as soon as possible.
We appreciate the vision the ITD Board has shown in the past by maximizing
transportation investments that bring about economic opportunities and long-term
viability. Improving the US 20/26 corridor will spur development of underutilized lands
and provide public-private partnership opportunities. But the benefits from the project
will not be Meridian's alone; benefits of this project will be felt regionally and beyond.
Chinden Boulevard is a critical mobility corridor in our region and the State of Idaho and
both of our agencies have a vested interest in its function. It is important to our region to
have an efficient, effective, and integrated roadway network to transport goods and
services. We applaud the efforts of ITD, to look for funding opportunities that address the
transportation improvements necessary to realize economic growth and long term
viability of our region and the State of Idaho — sooner rather than later.

1. Title being vested other than as stated in Schedule A.
Any defect in or lien or encumbrance on the Title. This Covered Risk includes but is not limited to insurance against loss from
(a) A defect in the Title caused by
(i) forgery, fraud, undue influence, duress, incompetency, incapacity, or impersonation;
(ii) failure of any person or Entity to have authorized a transfer or conveyance;

electronic means authorized by law; or
(vii) a defective judicial or administrative proceeding.
(b) The lien of real estate taxes or assessments imposed on the Title by a governmental authority due or payable, but unpaid.
(c) Any encroachment, encumbrance, violation, variation, or adverse circumstance affecting the Title that would be disclosed
by an accurate and complete land survey of the Land. The term "encroachment" includes encroachments of existing
improvements located on the Land onto adjoining land, and encroachments onto the Land of existing improvements
located on adjoining land.
3. Unmarketable Title.
4. No right of access to and from the Land.

bankruptcy, state insolvency, or similar creditors' rights laws by reason of the failure of its recording in the Public Records

(ii) to impart notice of its existence to a purchaser for value or to a judgment or lien creditor.

The coverage of this policy shall continue in force as of Date of Policy in
favor of an Insured, but only so long as the Insured retains an estate or
interest in the Land, or holds an obligation secured by a purchase
money Mortgage given by a purchaser from the Insured, or only so long
as the Insured shall have liability by reason of warranties in any transfer
or conveyance of the Title. This policy shall not continue in force in

Dbl Cover — ALTA Owner's Policy (06/17/06)
NJRB 1-15 Effective: 2/15/07 Revised: 9/10/07
damage, the Company may, at its option, require as a condition of
payment that the Insured Claimant furnish a signed proof of loss. The

matter insured against by this policy that constitutes the basis of loss or
damage and shall state, to the extent possible, the basis of calculating
the amount of the loss or damage.

(a) Upon written request by the Insured, and subject to the
options contained in Section 7 of these Conditions, the Company, at its
own cost and without unreasonable delay, shall provide for the defense
of an Insured in litigation in which any third party asserts a claim
covered by this policy adverse to the Insured. This obligation is limited
to only those stated causes of action alleging matters insured against by
this policy. The Company shall have the right to select counsel of its
choice (subject to the right of the Insured to object for reasonable
cause) to represent the Insured as to those stated causes of action. It
shall not be liable for and will not pay the fees of any other counsel.
The Company will not pay any fees, costs, or expenses incurred by the
Insured in the defense of those causes of action that allege matters not
insured against by this policy.
(b) The Company shall have the right, in addition to the
options contained in Section 7 of these Conditions, at its own cost, to
institute and prosecute any action or proceeding or to do any other act
that in its opinion may be necessary or desirable to establish the Title,
as insured, or to prevent or reduce loss or damage to the Insured. The
Company may take any appropriate action under the terms of this
policy, whether or not it shall be liable to the Insured. The exercise of
these rights shall not be an admission of liability or waiver of any
provision of this policy. If the Company exercises its rights under this
subsection, it must do so diligently.
(c) Whenever the Company brings an action or asserts a
defense as required or permitted by this policy, the Company may
pursue the litigation to a final determination by a court of competent
jurisdiction, and it expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to
appeal any adverse judgment or order.
6. DUTY OF INSURED CLAIMANT TO COOPERATE
(a) In all cases where this policy permits or requires the
Company to prosecute or provide for the defense of any action or
proceeding and any appeals, the Insured shall secure to the Company
the right to so prosecute or provide defense in the action or proceeding,
including the right to use, at its option, the name of the Insured for this
purpose. Whenever requested by the Company, the Insured, at the
Company's expense, shall give the Company all reasonable aid (i) in
securing evidence, obtaining witnesses, prosecuting or defending the
action or proceeding, or effecting settlement, and (ii) in any other lawful
act that in the opinion of the Company may be necessary or desirable to
establish the Title or any other matter as insured. If the Company is
prejudiced by the failure of the Insured to furnish the required
cooperation, the Company's obligations to the Insured under the policy
shall terminate, including any liability or obligation to defend, prosecute,
or continue any litigation, with regard to the matter or matters requiring
such cooperation.
(b) The Company may reasonably require the Insured
Claimant to submit to examination under oath by any authorized
representative of the Company and to produce for examination,
inspection, and copying, at such reasonable times and places as may
be designated by the authorized representative of the Company, all
records, in whatever medium maintained, including books, ledgers,
checks, memoranda, correspondence, reports, e-mails, disks, tapes,
and videos whether bearing a date before or after Date of Policy, that
reasonably pertain to the loss or damage. Further, if requested by any
authorized representative of the Company, the Insured Claimant shall
grant its permission, in writing, for any authorized representative of the
Company to examine, inspect, and copy all of these records in the
custody or control of a third party that reasonably pertain to the loss or
damage. All information designated as confidential by the Insured
Claimant provided to the Company pursuant to this Section shall not be
disclosed to others unless, in the reasonable judgment of the Company,
it is necessary in the administration of the claim. Failure of the Insured
Claimant to submit for examination under oath, produce any reasonably
requested information, or grant permission to secure reasonably
necessary information from third parties as required in this subsection,
Form 81306
Reorder 1190-127
unless prohibited by law or governmental regulation, shall terminate any
liability of the Company under this policy as to that claim.
7. OPTIONS TO PAY OR OTHERWISE SETTLE CLAIMS;
TERMINATION OF LIABILITY
In case of a claim under this policy, the Company shall have the
following additional options:
(a) To Pay or Tender Payment of the Amount of Insurance.
To pay or tender payment of the Amount of Insurance under this policy
together with any costs, attorneys' fees, and expenses incurred by the
Insured Claimant that were authorized by the Company up to the time
of payment or tender of payment and that the Company is obligated to
pay.
Upon the exercise by the Company of this option, all liability and
obligations of the Company to the Insured under this policy, other than
to make the payment required in this subsection, shall terminate,
including any liability or obligation to defend, prosecute, or continue any
litigation.

Conditions and is unsuccessful in establishing the Title, as insured,
(i) the Amount of Insurance shall be increased by 10%,
and
(ii) the Insured Claimant shall have the right to have the
loss or damage determined either as of the date the claim was made by
the Insured Claimant or as of the date it is settled and paid.

litigation and the completion of any appeals, it shall have fully performed
its obligations with respect to that matter and shall not be liable for any
loss or damage caused to the Insured.

(c) The Company shall not be liable for loss or damage to the
Insured for liability voluntarily assumed by the Insured in settling any

All payments under this policy, except payments made for costs,

pays under any policy insuring a Mortgage to which exception is taken
in Schedule B or to which the Insured has agreed, assumed, or taken
subject, or which is executed by an Insured after Date of Policy and
which is a charge or lien on the Title, and the amount so paid shall be

12. PAYMENT OF LOSS
When liability and the extent of loss or damage have been definitely
fixed in accordance with these Conditions, the payment shall be made

claim under this policy, it shall be subrogated and entitled to the rights
of the Insured Claimant in the Title and all other rights and remedies in
respect to the claim that the Insured Claimant has against any person or
property, to the extent of the amount of any loss, costs, attorneys' fees,
and expenses paid by the Company. If requested by the Company, the
Insured Claimant shall execute documents to evidence the transfer to
the Company of these rights and remedies. The Insured Claimant shall
permit the Company to sue, compromise, or settle in the name of the
Insured Claimant and to use the name of the Insured Claimant in any
transaction or litigation involving these rights and remedies.
If a payment on account of a claim does not fully cover the loss of the
Insured Claimant, the Company shall defer the exercise of its right to
recover until after the Insured Claimant shall have recovered its loss.
(b) The Company's right of subrogation includes the rights
of the Insured to indemnities, guaranties, other policies of insurance, or
bonds, notwithstanding any terms or conditions contained in those
instruments that address subrogation rights.
14. ARBITRATION
Either the Company or the Insured may demand that the claim or
controversy shall be submitted to arbitration pursuant to the Title

transaction giving rise to this
policy.

less shall be arbitrated at the option of either the Company or the
Insured.

all other provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
17. CHOICE OF LAW; FORUM

has underwritten the risks covered by this policy and determined the
premium charged therefor in reliance upon the law affecting interests in
real property and applicable to the interpretation, rights, remedies, or
enforcement of policies of title insurance of the jurisdiction where the
Land is located.
Therefore, the court or an arbitrator shall apply the law of the jurisdiction
where the Land is located to determine the validity of claims against the
Title that are adverse to the Insured and to interpret and enforce the
terms of this policy. In neither case shall the court or arbitrator apply its
conflicts of law principles to determine the applicable law.

commercial U-haulers operating in violation of city code.
Rates Comparison Chart: SWAC, with Republic Services’ input, updated the Rates
Comparison Chart which captures pertinent and current solid waste services and

SOLID WASTE ORDINANCE
After thorough review, including receipt of two presentations and a
memorandum in support from Republic Services and receiving input from
the Police Department, SWAC voted to recommend approval of an
amendment to the solid waste code to City Council. City Council approved
the amendment to start commercial collection at 4 AM instead of 5 AM to
improve public safety and routing efficiencies.

SWAC Chair, Steve Cory, represented the City of Meridian’s interests on
the Ada County Solid Waste Advisory Committee. Commissioner Cory
was re-elected to chair Ada SWAC. This cooperative body allows
stakeholders to work in concert with one another to research and develop
proposals for improving solid waste collection systems and services,
including maintaining reasonable financial costs for the operations of the
Ada County Landfill. Steve Cory reports back to SWAC periodically
throughout the year providing Meridian valuable insight and information
about valley-wide solid waste matters.

To: Meridian City Council
From: Brett Baranco, Chairman of the SWAC Trash or Treasure committee
Date: March 1, 2017
Subject: Trash or Treasure Pilot Program
Dear Mayor and City Council Members,
Requested Action: At the City Council meeting on March 7, 2017, I will ask for your consideration and
approval to proceed with the spring launch of the SWAC pilot program, “Trash or Treasure.” All known
expenses for advertising have/will be paid by Republic Services making the program no cost to the City.
SWAC Approval: On February 22, 2017, I presented the pilot program to SWAC and received unanimous
approval to bring it forward to City Council.
History: I brought the idea for the program to SWAC in 2016. The basic concept was to build a
residential recycling program that capitalizes on the adage, “One man’s trash is another man’s
treasure.” SWAC embraced the concept because it promotes recycling in the community by
encouraging reuse, repurpose, and recycle of items that would otherwise be landfill bound. SWAC
formed a committee to build a program and I volunteered to serve as the committee’s chairperson.
Key contributors on the committee included Ken Corder, Genesis Milam, Rachele Klein and Steve
Sedlacek, representing Republic Services, and several volunteer SWAC commissioners. Kaycee Emory
contributed to and approved the program’s marketing materials including a flyer, video, and banner
which I will show you during my presentation.
Program Highlights: The pilot year (2017) will include three neighborhoods (Burney Glen, Copper Basin,
and Havasu Creek). It will take place the weekend before Spring Cleanup (April 29-30) where all three
HOAs have a garbage pickup on Monday, May 1. The 3 HOA’s are all on board. Marketing will be
focused on the participating neighborhoods using social media, email, and distributing the flyer. Banners
will be posted at each neighborhood’s main entrances during the weekend event. The Spring Cleanup
rules will apply to this program. Participants will put out acceptable unwanted items where they place
their trash carts allowing for others to take them for free. Republic Services will pick up remaining items
as part of Spring Cleanup. The committee will evaluate the pilot program using personal observations
and by conducting a post-event survey in participating neighborhoods to gauge participation level and
quality of experience. The committee will compile the results and report back to SWAC and City Council
with its recommendations for the future of the program.
Conclusion: I will be providing more information about this simple yet magnificent program when I
speak to you on March 7. I appreciate your time and attention and hope you will approve adding
another creative way to recycle in our community.
Sincerely,
Brett Baranco, Senior Crime Analyst, MPD

following project(s):

3,500 Meridian Walking Tour Updates
A grant contract will be emailed to you in this coming month; if you require a hard-
copy be mail to you, or if you have questions on your award, please contact me as soon
as possible (by phone at 208-488-7471 or email ,pete.lorangeLa!ishs.idaho.gov).
Starting in FY17, we changed how the Idaho CLG Grants were distributed and project
timelines, so please review the information below to ensure that your project proceeds
as smoothly as possible. Details can be found in the Idaho CLG Grants Manual,
available online at https:llhistoy.idaho.gov/certified-local-goveramcnt-clg-prgz .
SOME IMPORTANT REMINDERS
CLG Grants are reimbursable and all associated costs must be eligible as outlined in the
Idaho CLG Grants Manual. All initial payments must be made by the Certified Local

cents/mile, in accordance with State of Idaho Travel policies.
All projects and products due to the SHPO no later than May 31, 2018. This will give
us enough time to make any corrections and/or improvements to the final products. If
you are unsure if you should submit a draft, feel free to inquire and we will review your
project individually to see if it is necessary.
Please keep us informed of the progress of your projects. If you have any delays,
questions, or concerns please contact us as soon as possible. We look forward to your

33.10 acres in the C-G zone. A subsequent final plat was recorded (FP-05-014) in 2005.
2. Recently, a certificate of zoning compliance was approved (A-2016-0225) to construct a 6,200 square foot
restaurant.
Summary of Request: The proposed short plat depicts two (2) commercial lots on 1.77 acres of land in a C-G zoning
district. The proposed plat is a re-subdivision of Lot 2, Block 2 of Destination Place Subdivision.
All lots in the proposed subdivision comply with the dimensional standards of the C-G zoning district.
A 6,200 square foot restaurant is approved and proposed to be constructed on Lot 2A. Future development of Lot 2B will
require the approval of a certificate of zoning compliance and administrative design review application prior to applying
for a building permit.
Staff has reviewed the proposed short plat for substantial compliance with the criteria set forth in UDC. Staff finds the
proposed plat to be in substantial compliance with these requirements and recommends approval as proposed.

December 12, 2016
Dear Mayor Tammy and Meridian City Council,
We are very excited that our joint project in South Meridian is progressing and we
can all celebrate this partnership that will do so much for the community.
I am writing to ask you to consider waiving or reducing certain fees as a part of our
development applications to the city. As you know, the spirit of this partnership has
been one where all of the partners are helping each other and in many cases taking
on costs which may be incurred by others. It would help our project significantly if
you would consider waiving or reducing the indirect fees for our applications.
As you know, the YMCA is fully supportive of the park development. This includes
our construction of the parking areas and curbing for the park. An additional
contribution to the partnership has included the YMCA being the recipient of the
property donations from Brighton Corporation and the Hill family. We have served
this role at the request of you and the other partners, serving as a temporary
holding place until design details could be finished and the partners were prepared
and willing to receive the acreage they needed. During this time, the YMCA is
required to pay property tax for the acreage that we are eventually donating to the
city.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter. We look forward to continuing to
partner with you at The Hill and in many other ways.
Thanks,
Scott Cu is
Senior ice President
