Woodard: Our Dear Heavenly Father, we pause before the City Council of Meridian
begins its weekly meeting and we want to thank you for all the blessings you have given
our city. We thank you for these leaders who are leading us through unprecedented
period of growth. As we nudge closer to 100,000 residents the need for solid leadership
becomes ever so evident. This city is preparing to see new growth never imagined just
a few years ago. A new apartment complex is planned on Overland and Linder, amazing
in its size and scope. This and the news of Costco planning to build at Ten Mile and
Chinden is a reminder that our state highway schedule is not keeping pace with growth .
On the other hand, the widening of Meridian Road and plans to widen Linder by our local

highway district is welcomed. News reports about an uptick in crime associated with drug
trafficking is worrisome and I pray tonight for our uniformed police and detectives who are
trying to keep Meridian a safe community. Be with our school leaders, teachers, and
children entrusted to their weekly care. May we see young people growing in the
knowledge required to be good citizens. I pray that the racial discord found in many cities
will not be found in Meridian. May we be known as a courteous and caring people. Thank
you, God, for Mayor Tammy and this Council as they lead us tonight, in Jesus' name,
amen.

Bird: Item No. 8 is Action Items. 8-A as a public hearing for the FY-2017 amended
revenues and expenditures of $116,445,332. Todd, are you going to do this for us?
Lavoie: Mr. President, Members of the Council, again, appreciate your time tonight to
present to you the fiscal year 2017 and fiscal year 2018 budgets. As the agenda states,
we will start off with the fiscal year 2017 amended budget for you to accept and approve.
The data that we are going to show it to you for fiscal year 2017 is going to be referencing
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 4 of 82
the $116,445,332 as we have noticed to the citizens. Again, this amount will be presented
to you in the three major fund groups that we report on. That would be the General Fund,
Capital Improvement, and, then, the Enterprise Fund and, then, after we go to the '17 and
the processes there within, then, we approach the fiscal year 2018 as the next agenda
item. So, we will start off with the total city budget. Again, as it's been announced,
$116,445,332. That is a reduction of 2.34 percent from the original budget that we
announced this time one year ago. Again, the reason for the changes -- I will go through
that here in a second, but just note that all the changes that have occurred since we left
-- we last met last October 1st, they have all been presented to you through the fiscal
year over the last ten months. So, this is kind of a year in review for you. These amounts
have been approved for -- by you and passed from the amendment standpoint. Again,
this is the formal process to notify the citizens in the state of our final fiscal year 2017
budget. So, again, the information here should be repetitive to you and you should have
seen this at some point in time over the last ten months. So, you can see personnel
operating went up about 1.94 percent with some amendment changes. Capital up 36.33
for the total city. And, then, what we call carry forward we reduced that by 47 percent
throughout the fiscal year, again, with a net effect of 2.34 percent reduction to the overall
budget for fiscal year 2017. Throughout the fiscal year you had 34 amendments proposed
to you from -- presented to you, with the General Fund representing 2.7 million dollars,
Capital Improvement Fund a little over 21,000. And the Enterprise Fund had a reduction
request of 5.5 million. Again, I will go through the individual departments or funds with
you in a second. So, we will start off with the General Fund. The General Fund overall
went from 50 -- a little over 52 million to 54.8 million. That's five point -- up 5.35 percent
for the year and you can see the personnel capital and carry forward as presented on
graph. And, again, that's 5.35 percent. What we did is we captured a few of the larger
ticket items. We did not present all 28 items to you. Those were presented to you
throughout the fiscal year. But the major items are Fire Station No. 6, a little over 4.7
million dollars. We presented that to you last month. And you can see we have some
park impact fee development budget amendments. We had a fire station remodel and
some legal consulting fees. Then we have our carry forward adjustment of a reduction of
4.5 million, which is -- if you add those 28 items up you can -- it will come out to 2.7 million
in increased. Capital Improvement Fund. Start off with 422. End of the year a little over
444,000. Only one major amendment there. That was our ADA compliance for the City
Hall plaza. And, then, the last major fund that we report on is the Enterprise Fund. Again,
as we reported that went down eight percent -- 8.39 percent from 66.7 million to 61.1
million. So, you can see it's personnel and operating down, capital went up. Carry
forward went down. Overall down 8.39 percent. They had about five amendments. A
couple of them were zero cost amendments. These are the major ticket items that we
wanted to present to you in summary. That was represented to you over the last ten
months. Again, at the end of the day the Enterprise Fund did go down 8.39 percent for
the fiscal year. And with that stand for any questions for fiscal year 2017 budget
amendment in review.
Bird: Council, any questions for Todd?
Borton: Mr. President?
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 5 of 82
Bird: Mr. Borton.
Borton: Briefly, Todd, can you -- there has been discussion about the natural sequence
of carry forward from one year to the next and a large portion of next year's budget is
comprised of carry forward from this prior year. Can you speak to that briefly, that process
of carry forward and how that impacts this budget and next year's budget being so much
more. It's comprised of some of that carry forward.
Lavoie: Mr. President, Councilman Borton, the finance process for carry forward -- so,
any capital items that have been budgeted for fiscal year 2017 , we work with each
department to determine which projects have not been completed that still have a budget
outstanding, that still has contracts in place that we must contain and maintain for fiscal
year 2018. Those budget dollars will be carried into fiscal year 2018, so that those
departments can continue those capital projects as you have approved in prior fiscal
years or in this case fiscal year '17. So, any projects not finished by September 30th in
fiscal year 2017, we will carry those project dollars, those budgeted dollars, into fiscal
year 2018 and we call that carry forward.
Bird: Thank you, Todd. Any other questions? This is a public hearing. Would anybody
from the public like to testify? Seeing none, Council, what's your wishes?
Borton: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Borton.
Borton: If there is no further discussion or any discussion from the public, I would move
that we close the public hearing on Item 8-A, the public hearing on the fiscal year 2017
amended revenues and expenditures.
Cavener: Second.
Bird: Second? Got a motion and a second to close the public hearing on 8-A. All in favor
say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Bird: Okay.
Borton: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Borton.
Borton: I would move that we approve Item 8-A, the fiscal year 2017 amended revenues
and expenditures as presented in the amount of $116,445,332.
Meridian City Council

Mr. Clerk.

MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
B. Public Hearing for FY2018 Proposed Revenues and
Expenditures of $154,853,276
Bird: Okay. Item 8-B is the FY-2018 proposed revenues and expenditures of
$154,853,276. Todd. I will open the public hearing. Todd.
Lavoie: Mr.President, thank you again. Council, good to see you. It's been a while.
Tonight I'm going present to you the fiscal year 2018 budget proposal in the amount of
$154,853,276 and this is the amount that we proposed to the citizens. We have noticed
it using the newspaper and the internet. This is all the work that we have put together as
a team for the last seven months and I'm going to go ahead and go over the -- the overall
154 million, kind of like I did with the fiscal year '17 by going over the three major fund
groups. We will go over the General Fund, Capital Improvement Fund, Enterprise Fund.
Again, this will be a summary of what we have accomplished over the last eight months,
so it will be a summary level of the details that have been posted in the newspaper and
on our internet and I won't be going into those fine details. But, again, this is a public
hearing for you guys and the citizens. So, withthat we will start off with the General Fund.
General Fund -- I apologize. The total city, again, $154,153,276. You can see that the
distribution of funds by personnel, operating, capital and carry forward on the left pie chart
and, then, on the right side you will see how it's distributed amongst the reporting
departments that we use here at the city. And to answer Mr. Borton's question about
carry forward, you will see the term on here carry forward. This represents all budgeted
projects from fiscal year 2017 or before that have not been completed as of today that the
departments have requested that we carry those approved budgets into fiscal '18, so that
they may complete those projects accordingly. We will jump into your first major funding
group, which is the General Fund. We are requesting from the citizens $61,562,388 for
fiscal year 2018. Again, the same pie charts are used on the left side to represent the
General Fund. As a reminder for the General Fund, during our discussions and proposal
we are requesting they use three -- a little over three million dollars out of our Capital
Improvement Fund to pay for capital projects. As a reminder, the Capital Improvement
Fund is a fund that we established to set aside monies for future capital projects. So, we
are utilizing these fund dollars that we have been saving in the past, that save as you go,
pay as go, so we have been able to save some money in our Capital Improvement Fund
to use for future capital projects. In this case there is a project that we would like to use
the money for in 2018. The same thing with the impact fees. We have been collecting
the impact fees to utilize for future capital projects . We are requesting a little over two
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 7 of 82
million dollars of that fund balance to utilize in our fiscal '18 project request and, then, we
are also going to add over 280,000 dollars to our Public Safety Fund to utilize in future
years, just like we have done with the Capital Improvement Fund and the Impact Fund.
So, we will tap into those resources at a later date for our public safety needs and the
same thing -- we are going to add a little bit back into our Capital Improvement Fund, so
we can utilize that in the future as well. And, again, gain some quick notes on the General
Fund. Public safety this fiscal year -- for fiscal year 2018 is about 58 percent of the total
fund. Parks is 26. And the community development and administration, they make up
the remainder 16 percent of the General Fund as proposed. This year is a quick summary
of what was submitted to you and what we submitted to the citizens as a general overview
of requests. So, community development and the administration departments requested
821,000 dollars -- a little over that for enhancements and replacements and you see that
listed accordingly. Parks and Recreation a little over 8.4 million dollars in requests for
enhancements and replacements. Fire Department 770,000 accordingly. And, then, the
Police Department at 1.8 million dollars respectively. Total General Fund revenue
sources a little over 50.96 million dollars. Primary revenue source for the General Fund
for fiscal 2018 will be property taxes sitting at about 62 percent of the entire revenue
stream and, then, we follow that up with some intergovernmental and some impact fees
-- development fees. So, that represents the General Fund. We will go into the Capital
Improvement Fund. We are asking you the Council and the citizens to approve a little
over 3.2 million dollars in the Capital Improvement Fund. You can see the proposed
request down below. South Meridian park development, that's that Capital Improvement
Fund that we have been looking to utilize the funds for and, then, some lobby remodel
work for the City Hall here to improve the capital infrastructure here . Enterprise Fund.
We are requesting for fiscal year 2018 90,082,845 dollars for the fiscal year '18 budget.
Again, the graphs on the left kind of show how the fund is going to be distributed amongst
the personnel, operating, capital and the departments. Wastewater for fiscal year 2018
will make up about 70 percent of the total budget. Water about 19. Public Works slash
engineering, ten percent and the utility building they will make up one percent of the fund
in its entirety. Again, another summary of requests for the Enterprise Fund. Wastewater
is requesting a little over 30.5 million dollars and you can see enhancement or
replacements. Water 7.7 million. Public Works a little over 277,000. And, then, utility
billing 83,420. So, again, those are just a summary request and review for the Enterprise
Fund. The revenue sources for the Enterprise Fund this year is going to be 38,461,568
dollars. That's what we are proposing for fiscal year 2018 budget. A majority of their
revenue sources come from our water and sewer invoices that we send out t o our citizens
and the residents. And with that I stand for any questions for the fiscal year 2018 budget
as proposed to you, Council and the citizens, today.
Bird: Council, any questions for Todd?
Palmer: Mr. President? I don't necessarly have a question, but have a tweak to the
budget that I would like to propose. I don't know if now or later is the appropriate time to
go into that.

Lavoie: Mr. President, Councilman Palmer, this is the last time we have a chance that if
you wish to make a motion to your fellow Council Members before any considerations of
budget changes, this is your opportunity at this moment.
Cavener: Mr. President? I guess maybe a question for the clerk. C.Jay, did we have
anybody sign up to provide comment on the proposed budget?
Coles: Mr. President, Council Member Cavener, we did not have any public testimony
signups this evening.
Cavener: Okay.
Bird: Mr. Cavener, we -- if we -- if this is a change or something the public should know
that before they testify.
Cavener: Okay.
Palmer: Then, Mr. President, and when we had our -- our roundtable discussions on the
budget there was some talk about the Fields and the amount of money that we have been
spending there over the years and what's proposed in our FY-18 budget to continue
spending on whatever it may be with the future goals and plans for out there. In the time
since we have had a fairly in depth presentation by Mr. Chatterton as to what's been
taking place out there or what -- really what hasn't been taking place out there, but what
efforts have been made to figure something out or -- or what we -- our goal might be to
happen within the Fields District and I feel like -- like we don't have a clear direction or --
or a clear opportunity for the investments that we have been spending to have something
happen out there, other than what might naturally happen through the private sector
making decisions with what land may be purchased and what developments might come
in the future and so my proposal would be to remove any f unding from the '18 budget with
regards to the Fields District and maybe a separate discussion -- maybe not a separate
-- but while we may defund whatever we have been -- or whatever we have planned for
-- for spending on the Fields, maybe -- I would hope that -- I think it would be best as a
separate discussion as to whether the Council's intention is to -- I guess our opinion as to
whether, then, any additional staff time would be put into the development of it. I don't
know if it's best to do it together or -- or later after discussion on funding.
Bird: Right now is the time to do it. Have you got a -- have you got any kind of idea how
much money? If you're that far down you should.
Palmer: Mr. President -- and Todd might have those numbers handy. There is -- there
is multiple places where it's -- it's outlined in the -- in the budget book and I'm hoping he's
got all the numbers, because I start mixing them together and -- because they all -- they
will read the same and it's like is this the same 20,000 here or later in the book or are
these separate. Part of the reason I want to get rid of it.

Lavoie: Mr. President, Councilman Palmer, I did note down what I could find, quote,
unquote, associated to the, quote, unquote, Fields consulting dollars. I did list them on
my little note sheet here. But, again, you get to make the final proposal or motion to your
fellow Council Members. I'm more than happy to identify what I found in the -- in the fiscal
year '18 budget for your records and, then, you can make a comment or a motion based
on the information I give you, if that's okay with you.
Bird: Council? That's fine with me. Okay, Todd.
Lavoie: Mr. President, Councilman Palmer, in the Planning Division -- or I apologize. In
the Community Development admin division I did find a notation for Fields District
roundtable facility services, budget of 20,000 dollars. In the planning division I did find a
note for the Fields District land use planning for 20,000 dollars. In the planning division I
did find a line item called Fields Distict Outreach for 5,000 dollars. Those are the three
items I found, quote, unquote, Fields in my research. And at this time, Councilman
Palmer, if you wish to make a motion.
Bird: Thirty-five is what I come up with, too, on the -- what's your suggestion, Mr. Palmer?
Palmer: Mr. President, if you want a motion for it --
Bird: We can decrease the budget. We can't add to it.
Palmer: That is fantastic news. Mr. President, I move that we remove that 45,000 dollars
from the proposed budget.
Bird: Got a second?
Cavener: I will second it.
Bird: Okay. We have got a motion and a second. Any discussion from the Council?
Little Roberts: Mr. President?
Bird: Mrs. Little Roberts.
Little Roberts: I'm curious if any of that was for the actual land use planning, if I could
potentially address that question to one of our staff.
Bird: Bill or Sonya, can either one of you answer that or -- oh, Caleb. You're --
Little Roberts: Caleb, if you don't mind.
Bird: Thank you.

Hood: Mr. President, Members of the Council, I'm almost through my second full day as
interim co-director in Community Development, so no softballs I guess from you guys.
So, to answer Council Women Little Roberts' question, yes, some of that was for -- not
just the roundtable -- so, there is two -- kind of two different things going on here. You
had the Growing Together roundtable group that was -- that you heard about just a couple
of weeks ago and, then, the land use planning that needs to go on , which last week you
approved a change to the Intermountain Gas facility. So, looking at the land use planning
in that area, I mentioned that we will still have some work to do there. What I'm
envisioning -- and I'm -- just for the record I'm okay with that motion , but I want you to
know when we had our workshop talking about the budget I'm going to come back for that
money when you roll it under the comp plan update umbrella. So, yes, it is part of that,
but we can repurpose -- pending a budget amendment approval repurpose some of that
and some of it will be used for some land planning in the Fields District in those four
square miles, because we need to do that or, basically, around the Intermountain Gas
facility. So, I hope that answers the question.
Bird: Any questions for Caleb?
Cavener: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Cavener.
Cavener: Just maybe a -- maybe a comment. I think that when we were in our budget
hearings that was contemplated that that department would come back with a budget
amendment after you had an opportunity to really truth some numbers based on the
feedback that you heard. So, while I'm very supportive of the removal of this, I'm also
supportive of hearing back from you for a budget amendment to really address those
specific land use needs.
Hood: Mr. President, if I can, just -- so, September 12th was the direction that we received
there. So, we are still trying to fully scope this thing out and figure out what it's going to
cost, but I anticipate some or all or maybe a little bit more money with the 50 ,000 dollars
that is in this budget right now as a general -- we will have more discussion on that on the
12th of September, though, at that workshop, so --
Bird: Thank you, Caleb, for your answer.
Palmer: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Palmer.
Palmer: And I may have to amend my motion. I -- there was another point where it didn't
say Fields in the binder, but I wrote in all caps next to my note Fields, because I believe
that when I asked about it that it was in relation to it. The agricultural biotech consultant
under Economic Development. I believe that also -- because I -- as I remember it was
closer to 70,000 was the amount that -- I don't know if --
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 11 of 82
Hood: Mr. President, Councilman Palmer, I did not talk to Brenda about that any more to
see -- in title it does sound like more Fields, but I do think there is some other related
things that she's doing that isn't directed at the Fields District, but it is more in the -- the
realm of that profession. But I am, again, just starting to really kind of wrap my arms
around all that she does for the city, so -- but that's kind of my understanding is that isn't
necessarily Fields, but ag tech kind of related efforts.
Palmer: Mr. President. While it may -- may or may not be money that would be spent
targeted that area, I think it's still the same line of thinking, the same goals on the same
part of the project, essentially, that -- it's something I'm feeling that we need to move away
from. So, if the second would agree, I'd like to include that portion of it and bring that up
to the 65,000.
Cavener: I'm in support of that. I would agree.
Bird: And second agrees? Taking it up to 65,000. Got a new number, Todd? We got a
motion and a second in front of us. Anymore discussion, Council?
Cavener: Mr. President, just a comment.
Bird: Mr. Cavener.
Cavener: My support of this reduction in budget is -- I'm not in any way against the fine
work that the Economic Development Department has been doing or the great work that's
coming from the Community Development Department. I have to say I agree with Mr.
Palmer that the time for the Fields District experiment I think has come and went and that
we should really be encouraging our -- our staff to -- especially in the Economic
Development Department to be working on projects that are truly related to economic
development and this is in no way a reflection I think of the great work to the budget
process of that department or just a reality where we are today in terms of the resources
we have available.
Bird: Any other comments? Mr. Clerk, would you call vote.
Roll call: Bird, yea; Borton, yea; Milam, nay; Cavener, yea; Palmer, yea; Little Roberts,
nay.
MOTION CARRIED: FOUR AYES. TWO NAYS.
Bird: Okay. Council, this is a public hearing. What's the new figure? Taking the 65 out
of there. I think I got it about right as about 790 --
Lavoie: Mr. President, I show if we remove the 45,000 plus the 20,000 --
Bird: No. Sixty-five. Sixty-five.
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 12 of 82
Lavoie: -- 65,000 dollars total.
Bird: Sixty-five total.
Lavoie: Sixty-five thousand reduced total. Agreed? I have the total at 154,788,276. No?
Bird: It can't be 278 if you take 65 from 53. Yes, you can. It is 88. Don't argue with an
accountant. You're right. Don't argue with an accountant.
Lavoie: Are we --
Bird: You're right. Okay. This is a public hearing. Is there anybody in the public that
would like to testify? Seeing none, I would entertain a motion to close the public hearing
at your discretion.
Borton: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Borton.
Borton: I move that we close the public hearing on Item 8-B, the proposed fiscal year
2018 budget.
Milam: Second.
Bird: I have got a motion to close the public hearing and a second. All in favor say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Bird: Before we have the motion to -- one way or the other on this, I have got to tell you,
this is my 20th public hearing for budgets and this is the first time we have had over two
people here. We know it isn't because of the budget. But, anyway, thank you for being
here. Okay. I would entertain a motion.
Borton: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Borton.
Borton: I would move that we approve the fiscal year 2018 budget as presented and
amended at tonight's hearing.
Milam: Second.
Cavener: Second.
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 13 of 82
Bird: Okay. We have got a motion and a second to approve the budget as amended.
And any discussion, Council?
Cavener: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Cavener.
Cavener: Just a comment to dovetail on yours. For all those of you that are here for from
the public, invite your friends to get more involved in the budget process next year. I have
begged and asked for feedback and comments on our budget . These are your dollars
that we are spending and we are spending a lot of them and it's hard to know if we are in
the right direction if we don't hear from the public.
Palmer: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Palmer.
Palmer: Mr. President, I have learned a lot since the last year and I have learned that
despite my continuous -- up until learning again this year -- my complete opposition to
ever voting for a budget that includes a tax increase, there may, in fact, come a time when
given how our budgets work that that may be necessary, but today is not that day. We
are still at a point where we are increasing taxes. The max that we are allowed to and it's
not necessary. There are a few million dollars that I found that could be removed and still
fully funding all of the public safety items that we have planned in this budget and I feel
we should never get to the point of increasing taxes unt il the necessity comes to be able
to fund those public safety issues or our water and sewer components of the city. There
is -- we are not there yet, so while the budget is certainly better today than it was when
we first started the roundtable discussions and the public hearing today, it still includes a
three percent tax increase, which isn't necessary. So, we are doing a great job in that we
have no debt, but there is still things that may be improved before I would feel comfortable
voting for a tax increase.
Bird: Any other comments?
Borton: Yeah. Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Borton.
Borton: One of the things that goes with -- with these difficult decisions -- and there is
lots of tradeoffs that occur in the city and one in particular occurs when we -- when we
grow in the manner in which we grow and throughout the course of the year we make
decisions that have strings attached and we have to do those with our eyes wide open
and one of the firm commitments that we make and have made, quite frankly, with a lot
of your leadership, Councilman Bird, over the years is that when our city decides to grow
and we choose to annex new property, that we understand it's a two way street and there
is a firm commitment by the city that we are going to provide certain services to that new
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 14 of 82
member of our city in a particular fashion and that gets extremely expensive to do very
very well and we do it very very well and we have for a number of years and one of the
challenges that we found even in this current budget is with that growth we have and have
an increase in public safety expenditures, which are -- are unquestionably necessary and
it's expensive, but it's appropriate. Just the expansion and planning for station -- Fire
Station No. 6 to better serve our residents south of Meridian and the personnel that it
requires, there is several million dollars a year just to provide that essential critical ,
nonnegotiable public safety and there is I believe seven new law enforcement officers
that are part of this budget, which are understandably and rightfully expensive, but
necessary and -- and the alternative of cutting short that service level, public safety in
particular, is unacceptable and we as a council and the city over the years always ensured
that we would maintain that and that's the trade off and commitment to the citizens when
we approve a project that we will provide exceptional services above and beyond and we
have always done that and we are committed to doing that. The challenge can be is that
can be expensive and if we are going to grow at the rate we grow that comes at a cost
and sometimes I think -- to Councilman Palmer's point, that expense requires us
collectively to share in that additional expense , which nobody likes to do, but the
alternative might be to just not grow as quick as we are. So, with this budget, as much
as I dislike having to utilize any portion of three percent, it's necessary for the public safety
requirements, it's necessary to adequately compensate our wonderful employees, which
we have all discussed and approved in prior meetings. All of that I think supports the
particular budget that's before us today and is the reason that I'm supporting it and makes
it necessary.
Bird: Thank you.
Palmer: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Palmer.
Palmer: And just -- I guess as clarification, I hold nothing against any one of you for voting
for this. As I was out knocking doors in 2013 and 2015, I made a promise that I was not
going to vote for a tax increase, especially as long as it -- as long as there were things
built into the budget that have absolutely nothing to do with public safety and certainly
there is things that we are spending money on that should we not do no one's quality of
life would decrease. It may increase as we spend money on those things , but it -- or is
not going to be any decrease to the quality of life should we take a year or two off of
spending on some of these things and so just to -- as crazy as it seems to fulfill a campaign
promise, that's just what I'm doing today. I feel that -- that the vast majority of this budget
is perfectly appropriate, but there are some certain things that could be removed that
would no longer necessitate a tax increase. But, again, it's an appropriate budget, it's just
me fulfilling a campaign promise to vote no today.
Bird: Thank you. Any other discussion? I just -- I have just got one thing to say. We still
are the lowest mill levy in the state for a city our size -- with a city -- our services. I know
there is -- people think that you can take stuff out and not take -- not take the three percent
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 15 of 82
or not, but if you're not -- if you're not going to take it, then -- then your employees are not
going to get raises and you go three or four years not taking it, you can get yourself in a
pickle and you're out looking for bonds and everything else. But that's one thing this city
has never went for a bond, nor for four more months they are not going to. Okay. Got a
motion and a second. Mr. Clerk.
Roll call: Bird, yea; Borton, yea; Milam, yea; Cavener, yea; Palmer, nay; Little Roberts,
yea.
MOTION CARRIED: FIVE AYES. ONE NAY.
Bird: Item C is --
Lavoie: Mr. President?
Bird: -- somebody didn't -- oh.
Lavoie: I apologize. If I can just quickly give an update. The next steps --
Bird: Sorry.
Lavoie: I apologize, Mr. President. So, next steps for the budget -- Legal Department will
present to you an ordinance supporting these dollar figures for fiscal year '17 and '18 over
the next handful of weeks. Haven't picked out the date yet, but Legal will present to you
an ordinance that makes this budget process complete and you will see that in the next
few weeks and this is, I guess, my last chance to -- oops. My last chance to say thank
you -- maybe. Thank you. Perfect. Thank you. Perfect. So, again, this is my last chance
to say thank you to you guys. Again, it's a lot of time, a lot of efforts have gone into this
process. Council, you guys have been very integral to this. The department staff, the
department directors, the Mayor, you know, the -- Jenny, she's led this process and she
is taking care of her new baby Penelope, which is awesome. We look forward to her
return. But there is one final one on there --
Bird: Thank you.
Lavoie: -- Mr. Bird, appreciate it.
Bird: Thank you.
Lavoie: So, you had led us -- now I'm getting emotional. Gees. Twenty years you have
guided us and --
Bird: I have had a lot of help.
Lavoie: I just want to say thank you. I do.

Bird: I thank you guys. First class. You got a young lady over there that taught us how
to do it and now when I come in -- I can tell you the city wasn't hurting, but it wasn't in
very good financial -- they didn't know where it was at. But thanks to Rita we got things
in line and now I can't say enough about what you guys have done for the finances .
Lavoie: I speak on behalf of the citizens.

1. Request: One (1) Year Time Extension on the Preliminary
Plat in Order to Obtain the City Engineer's Signature on the
Final Plat
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 18 of 82
Bird: Item E, a public hearing for Sugarman Subdivision, H-2017-0103 by Columbia
Trust, located at 1450 West Ustick Road. I will open the public hearing and, staff, do you
want to present.
Allen: Thank you, President Bird, Council. The next application is a request for a time
extension on the short plat for Sugarman Subdivision. This site consists of four acres of
land. It's zoned C-C, located at the northeast corner of North Linder Road and West
Ustick Road. Back in 2014 this property was annexed and a short plat was approved . A
time extension for one year was approved by the director in 2016 . The applicant is
requesting another one year time extension on the previously approved short plat in order
to obtain the city engineer's signature on the final plat. As conditions of approval of the
time extension request staff is recommending future development comply with the
updated structure and site design standards in the Unified Development Code and the
architectural standards manual and the most current supplemental specification and
drawing and design standards. Staff is recommending approval with the conditions in
Exhibit B of the staff report. No written testimony has been received.
Bird: Any question for the staff at this time?
Cavener: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Cavener.
Cavener: Sonya, what was the reason for the extension request a year ago?
Allen: President Bird, Council, to my understanding the applicant was just needing a little
bit more time in the process to get the improvements complete. The applicant could
provide more information if you'd like to ask.
Bird: Any other questions for staff? If not, is the applicant here?
Thompson: President Bird, Members of the Council, my name is Tamara Thompson. I'm
with The Land Group, 462 East Shore Drive in Eagle. As you can see, if you look at the
approved subdivision, The Land Group was not the civil engineer of record initially.
What's -- LEI is no longer in business. The -- Mr. Sugarman had some health issues, that
was the reason for the initial time extension, and now LEI is no longer in business. So,
they have asked The Land Group to pick up the ball, so to speak, and get it across the
finish line and we are requesting a one year time extension for us to do that. Thank you.
Bird: Any questions for the applicant? Thank you.
Thompson: Thank you.
Bird: This is a public hearing. Would anybody like to testify? Have we got anybody on
the list?

5. Request: Preliminary Plat Approval Consisting of 278 Single-

98.35 Acres of Land in the R-4 and R-8 Zoning District
Bird: Okay. Next one is the continued public hearing on Sky Mesa, H-2017-0068. When
we -- we are going to open -- the public hearing is open. Please, all -- we would like
anything that is new -- to be flat truthfull, we don't need to rehash what we heard for three
hours last week. So, anyway, I will open the public hearing with staff.
Allen: Chairman, Council. The applications before you, again, are a request for
annexation and zoning, a rezone, and a preliminary plat. The Council continued this
project from the August 15 hearing to tonight's meeting in order for the app licant to make
some changes to the plat and address the following issues: Reduction in the number of
lots along the west boundary adjacent to Blackrock Subdivision, so that no more than two
lots abut each single lot. The arrow here -- excuse me -- shows the changes they have
made to the plat. Addition of a common lot for the Hillside adjacent to Blackrock, so that
the homeowners association can consistently maintain that area and you can see there
they have added that common lot. The addition of four parking spaces for a total of eight
at the parking lot for the swimming pool facility. Again, there is another red arrow showing
the addition -- additional parking spaces. Modification of the phasing plan to include the
pool facility as part of phase three to be constructed after the one hundredth residential
building permit is issued, weather permitting. And they have labeled the facility here to
be constructed in phase three. Inclusion of a raised pedestrian pathway for traffic calming
across Taconic at the intersection of South Clay Way and East Taconic Drive. And it's a
little hard to see here, but this is Clay. This is Taconic. And this little shaded area here
is the raised pedestrian pathway. Delineation of the pedestrian pathways and multi-use
pathways throughout the development. The applicant did submit a revised landscape
plan and you can see that the pathways are included throughout the common areas on
that. Inclusion of a bike lane with the improvements to Taconic Drive. Inclusion of a dual
roundabout and a proposed HAWK signal at the Taconic-Eagle intersection on the plat.
Again, it's pretty hard to see on this drawing, but they have included that information. And
landscape perspective drawing of the entrance to the su bdivision with the future
roundabout. The applicant will address these items in her presentation in more detail I'm
sure. Staff has reviewed the revised plan and it does appear that the items have been
addressed that were requested by Council at the last hearing. Written testimony since
the Council hearing has been received from the following: Ann Shelton. Susan Karnes
on behalf of the Southern Rim Coalition. Allyson Gozart. Andrea Tlucek. Barbara Berlat.

Cameron Keller. Doug Wheeler. Elise Poulson. Greg Wells. Pat and Cliff Looney. Paul
Gozart. Ryan Poulson. Susanna Bohlman. Ted Bohlman. And Troy Johnson. Staff did
note a recurring trend in the letters of testimony submitted. I would like to clarify one item
that keeps coming up in those . There is -- there is a misconception that the applicant is
requesting a step up in density between the currently designated low density residential
and medium density residential on the future land use map. The proposed development
is actually -- is actually right in line with those density designations currently. The low
density is three or fewer units per acre and the medium is three to eight units per acre
and its actually at the -- at the very low end of the medium density also. So, I just wanted
to clarify that. And do you have any questions? I will try and answer them.
Bird: Council, any questions for staff at this point? The applicant.
McKay: Thank you, Mr. President, Members of the Council. As Sonya indicated, the
Council gave us specific instructions -- you want to pop that up, Sonya. To go back and
make these changes -- so, one of the things -- one of the things that we delineated -- it
was always there all the time -- where is my arrow? I can't find the arrow. I don't know.
Just a sec. No, it's not going.
Allen: Sorry, Becky, it must not be working. There we go.
McKay: Now is it there?
Allen: Touch one of the colors at the top, Becky, and -- at the top of the screen.
McKay: Oops. At the top of the screen.
Bird: Becky, while you're -- while you're playing with that, would you introduce yourself
and your address.
McKay: Oh, yes, sir.
Bird: I forgot.
McKay: Now will it let me draw? No. Becky McKay with Engineering Solutions. Business
address 1029 North Rosario. I'm representing the applicant in this matter. What you see
before you is a revised landscape plan. What we did is he added on those pedestrian
pathways. They were on our preliminary plat all along, they were just kind of hidden and
there they are there. We also have linkages everywhere. You see the pedestrian
accesses. We have micropaths that lead into our central common area. One of the other
things that we were asking for from the Council was, obviously, a waiver of that block
length along the Ten Mile Creek. As you can see, there is the common lot right there that
will provide access if people want to walk the ditch bank right there mid block . We did go
through and we eliminated a lot. Adjusted and fanned out those lot lines adjoining the
Blackrock Subdivision as we discussed at our previous meeting, so that no more than two
lots would back up to any one Blackrock home. We also took the slope, which is 35 feet
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 22 of 82
wide and, then, it kind of starts narrowing to 15 feet as it heads south and we put that in
a separate lot with a note on the plat that that shall be owned and maintained by the
homeowners association with specific standards of maintenance outlined in the CC &Rs.
We also went through and added additional parking to the parking facility next to our pool
amenity to -- to provide additional parking for residents and , then, we also kind of
highlighted the -- it just does not want to cooperate, does it. There we go. We highlighted
like the existing ten foot multi-use pathway that's along the south side of Taconic and,
then, that runs up the northwest side of Eagle Road. We also indicated -- we consulted
with ACHD. They told us where those HAWK pedestrian signals would be located. The
pedestrian friendly crossing will be on the south side of Taconic and will go across over
to Hill Century Farm. The bike lane is delineated on the preliminary plat and I think that
covered -- one of the concerns was the length of our pedestrian -- or our median there to
block Radiant Drive, so we did do -- we do have some that shows how that channeler will
extend to the west beyond Radiant Drive, so it will prohibit any left-outs or left-ins. It will
be right-in, right -- right-in, right-out only. We only have -- I believe there is 39 of those
patio type homes. They equate to about seven percent of our development. But this
gives you the perspective of what that roundabout is going to look like. We have also
allocated extensive landscaped areas there knowing the roundabout would be
constructed, so that we could do significant buffering, walls, signage and make our berms
high, so that the homes that adjoin that roundabout obviously don't have any negative
influence. As far as the zoning is concerned, as Sonya indicated, we are in full
compliance with your Comprehensive Plan and we -- we purposely kept our R-8 over on
the eastern side of the project adjoining Eagle Road. Everything else to the west, which
is 66 and a half percent of this property, is R-4 and only 33 percent is R-8. I think we
have got a good project here. We have done everything you have asked us to do. We
ask that you support it and we thank you for your patience and allowing us to come back
before you. I sent you a letter. There were some conditions that we had asked for some
attention on. In that letter under site specific condition of approval we just wanted it noted
on 1.1.1B concerning developer responsible for costs of associated with any sewer or
water service extensions, we will be having to extend an oversized sewer main and if by
chance there is some changes to the city code and reimbursement in the future ,
obviously, we want the ability to fall under that. I know Bill's counterpart mentioned at the
Planning and Zoning Commission the ordinance that is in effect at the time that we
process is what the city has to, obviously, apply to our project, but I know the staff has
talked about maybe changing some of those provisions. So, this is, you know, a five year
project, so things change over five years. 1.1.1E was the site amenities. We wanted that
to state that that would be constructed in phase three and, then, with the -- after the one
hundredth residential building permit. Initially we had the one hundredth lot, but, then, we
got to thinking, you know, we don't know what this market is going to do. We might do --
say we do a 50 lot phase and, then, we come in with another 50 lot phase, but maybe we
only have 25 houses and, then, the market just cools off and we have to, then, build the
clubhouse for 25 homes. So, we wanted to make sure that that was in there. 1.1, that is
supposed to be 1.1-2-G, not 1-G. Sonya caught that. Is a waiver on that B lock 5 along
the Ten Mile Creek. That does require Council approval. I, obviously, can't break the
block with Ten Mile Creek there. And, then, 1.1-2-N, not 1-N, is where I do need Council
to basically approve the easements for some of these pressurized irrigation facilities and
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 23 of 82
gravity irrigation facilities to be within a -- not within a common lot, but a buildable lot.
And, then, 1.1.1O is -- also deals with the zoning certificate at that one hundred -- phase
three and the one hundredth residential building permit . Other than that we are very
pleased with our conditions. We have ACHD commission approval and we have got a
really good project and we are excited to get started on next year. Thank you.
Bird: Council, any questions for the applicant?
Borton: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Borton.
Borton: Thank you for all of these changes and turning it around in short order. One of
the things that -- I think it was discussed last time, but in some of the -- the written public
comment has focused on the access -- or the -- and I forget the street name. Coming off
of Eagle Road onto Taconic, that first right as being I think 200, 210 feet from Eagle Road,
as opposed to 330 and I don't know if you're able to point out someplace in the ACHD
staff report that addresses that and might give some narrative to why that is acceptable
at that distance.
McKay: ACHD staff report, when they did their analysis of it, they indicated that it fell
within that 30 percent deviation, which is allowed by staff to deviate from their standards.
Secondly, because we had so few lots that would take access there and it's solely there
for public safety purposes for two points of ingress and egress, that they felt that it would
not cause any safety issues.
Borton: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Borton.
Borton: Was that at the hearing or is that -- is that in the staff report? I couldn't find it.
McKay: That is in the ACHD findings. Yes, sir. And, then, there are conditions -- let's
see.
Borton: And while you're looking, Mr. President. And the reason for the question, Becky,
I think it's really helpful -- I have got concerns -- I know I have got concerns with some
comfort level when ACHD has a particular standard and has safety as being one of the
basis for that standard, that anytime there is a variance from that standard that's based
on safety, it takes a pretty good explanation to get some comfort level why that would be
appropriate and if they -- if they gave that either in the public hearing or in the report, the
more detail the better on how that was justified.
McKay: What the -- what the staff had indicated -- if that -- if that were say a major -- a
major street into the bulk of the development, I would say it would not have been
approved. But due to the fact that we have, what, 15 -- 15 on the south and 20 -- what is
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 24 of 82
it -- 24 units on the north, staff indicated that that -- that channeler would block that left-
out or left-in movement and that the residents will also have their full access to their
westerly approach, so -- and it's not like they are having to go out of their way to exit and
we will be participating 120,000 dollars toward that roundabout and paying for relocation
of all the gravity irrigation and the extension of that medium and we plan on -- like I said,
it's in our latter phases, so chances are the roundabout will have been constructed and,
then, that channeler will be designed to go beyond Radiant. It's not that unusual that we
-- we deviate from a policy when we have so few lots. Most of my projects are in
compliance. This one was a little bit different, because we had kind of this notch out of it
and to try to make it work we wanted a little -- a community of 55 and over, single level
patio homes. You know, these types of residents typically won't be com peting with that
p.m. a.m. peak hour.
Borton: Thank you.
McKay: So, yeah, there is the recommendation you can see right there and -- and the
issue was discussed thoroughly at the Commission.
Borton: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Borton.
Borton: I might have misunderstood. The -- the median that would block that easternmost
exit -- the closest to Eagle Road --
McKay: Yes, sir.
Borton: -- would block that ability to take a left out?
McKay: Correct.
Borton: The median would -- would that go in at the start, even before the roundabout,
to ensure -- or at a later phase --
McKay: There is -- there is already -- there are two medians that currently exist.
Borton: Okay.
McKay: One right at the entrance and, then, one to the west that sits in front of where
Radiant Drive would go.
Borton: Okay.
McKay: Now, if by chance we were to develop the patio homes prior to that , we would
just extend that median a little bit further west , so that you didn't get anyone trying to
sneak around it, as you have seen some people do --
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 25 of 82
Borton: Sure.
McKay: -- if they are not long enough. But with the channelers and the roundabout, then,
that median will extend even further. Those existing medians will have to be removed.
Borton: Okay.
McKay: And that has to be, I believe, at our expense those -- those existing ones are
removed, because we will be rebuilding Taconic to bring it up to current collector standard.
Borton: Thank you. That's helpful.
Bird: Any other questions for the applicant? Thank you, Beck. This is a public hearing.
Mr. Clerk.
Coles: Thank you, Mr. President. As I read your names if I mispronounce it I'm going to
apologize right now. But we have Lisa Broderick, who signed up against the project, not
wishing to testify. Tony Broderick signing up against the project, not wishing to testify.
Susan Karnes signing up against the project and wishing to testify.
Bird: Please state your name and address.
Karnes: President, Members of the Council, good evening. My name is Susan Karnes.
I reside at 5556 South Graphite Way. Tonight I speak to you on behalf of the Meridian
Southern Rim Coalition regarding this application. President Bird, I feel your pain and I
will try not to repeat testimony, but we have very strong feelings and feedback from our
membership after last week's hearing and so I know, based on your long service -- many
years of service to the city that you understand and will accept my responsibility to
address the issue we are most concerned about, public safety. We made a lot of progress
last week. I thank -- and we thank the developer for revisions made to this plan. But due
to time constraints I'm just going to go ahead and focus on the issue at hand . Allow me
to present an overview of the community, the future land use plan predominantly low
density, R-2, R-4, with medium density south of Taconic. Please note our proximity to
Eagle Road, across which lies our elementary school, the YMCA, city park and possible
future library branch. The future land use map or FLUM for the sake of our audience here
this evening, is created via a process that includes all stakeholders. Not just developers.
Not just homeowners. The coalition is quite familiar with the FLUM, since staff has
advised us numerous times that we cannot propose amendments to the Comprehensive
Plan that contradict the FLUM. Here, too, for the sake of our audience this is a summary
of the zoning step-ups proposed by the applicant. I will point out that number three is two
steps up, despite the city's Comprehensive Plan's direct language saying density can only
be changed one step. As I mentioned briefly in last week's hearing, there is a cognitive
dissonance between zoning computations and calculations and residents' perception and
understanding of density. It's difficult for people in this community, for instance, who are
used to their half acre or acre or three-quarter acre lots, to understand that 65 foot width
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 26 of 82
lots are considered low density by the city. To refresh your memory from last week's
hearing, here is the crux of the problem regarding public safety. The only connecting
road -- connector in our neighborhood is Taconic and its intersection at Eagle Road. We
do not have a north-south connector as our -- as will our neighbors in Century Farm, nor
do we have a plan for one. Our other route of egress to an arterial road, Amity, is via
Marcala Way, which I have marked here on this map , is a local road. It's convoluted. It
has many turns. It has a basketball median that presents challenges to those of us with
RVs, boats and trailers. As you're aware, there are no plans in the next five years to offer
traffic relief to our section of town amidst exploding population growth. But germane to
our concern is ACHD's plan to widen Eagle Road to five lanes, which in our view is a
major road, perhaps as soon as five years from now. Please note despite testimony to
the contrary, ACHD does not yet have a right of way on Eagle Road between Amity and
Taconic, therefore, any assurances of a plan to widen Eagle Road is not factual at this
time. Although, undoubtedly, that will happen at some point. More context. The
roundabout at Eagle and Taconic will be a dual lane roundabout. Here for the audience
sake is an ACHD rendering of a typical dual lane roundabout. With the scene set, let's
try and visualize the reality of this scenario . You have a 50 mile per hour speed limit on
five lane Eagle Road with no intermittent breaks in traffic flow from upstream, because
there is a dual lane roundabout planned for Eagle Road at Amity. There is a 25 mile per
hour speed limit on Taconic. There will be 2,700 additional vehicle trips created by this
application. Thousands of vehicle trips created by Century Farm and its 675 homes. A
school speed zone. A HAWK crossing of indeterminate design and detail and you will
see in red children crossing Eagle to Hillsdale Elementary twice a day. Cyclists,
pedestrians, families, crossing Eagle Road to access the YMCA and city park, because
although the future land use map indicates a school in our vicinity, there is no school
planned and, therefore, no additional green space that a school would provide. This plan
provides a two acre park to serve 278 homes and some of that space is dedicated to the
community pool. Vehicle slowing or stopping from a 50 mile per hour road to enter the
patio home section, which will be marketed to over 55 buyers, of whom I am one, so I will
acknowledge as we age we have slowing response times. Vehicles leaving the north
patio home section are meant to turn right only. Realistically, since Marcala is not truly
an easy road out, they will either turn left or turn right into a U-turn on Taconic or drive
across Taconic to use the street in the south patio home section. Picture trying to merge
under the two lane roundabout from Taconic. A typical driver will only look at the one way
oncoming traffic in his or her attempt to merge. It's unlikely attention will be focused on
the HAWK signal or pedestrian crossing to the south until after that merge is negotiated .
I want to point out at this -- at this juncture that according to the American Association of
State Highway and Transportation Officials, safe stopping distance at 25 miles per hour
is 155 feet and 30 it's 200 feet. The applicant's plan is for streets 210 feet marking center
line of Eagle Road to the center line of streets . We feel that eliminates a critical margin
of safety. Since the HAWK is planned -- said to be planned for a few feet south of the
roundabout, it doesn't provide safe crossing for pedestrians crossing Taconic, as you see
by the arrow pointing northward, in the spirit of our, quote, healthy, safe, walkable
neighborhoods, to quote the city's Comprehensive Plan, to shop at Albertson's, which will
be a short half mile stroll up the road. Councilman Cavener, you expressed your concern
about traffic backing up on Eagle Road during rush hours. We believe that's more than
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 27 of 82
a valid concern. Safe stopping distance for a vehicle at 30 miles per hour is 200 feet.
According to edmunds.com, SUVs and all wheel drives have greater momentum, take
longer to stop. The Idaho Department of Transportation states it takes a fully loaded truck
driving at 55 miles per hour, with properly adjusted brakes, on a dry road, a full 450 feet
to stop. Wintering conditions is double stopping distances. Taconic is not a street that is
treated. With all due respect to ACHD, this is not a typical dual lane roundabout site. Due
to the fact that our elementary school, city park, and YMCA are across Eagle Road, it's a
complicated intersection that's further complicated by the applicant's request for four
streets and 39 patio homes sites so close to this intersection. We believe this plan creates
unnecessary risk to the safety of our children , cyclists, and families. In fact, the city of
Phoenix guidelines would not allow roundabouts under these conditions where one
intersecting street has a speed limit of 45 miles per hour greater and there are
disproportionate traffic flows between the intersecting streets or where there is heavy
pedestrian usage. The state of Maryland discourages roundabouts when one intersecting
street is significantly wider than the other. We ask Council to consider this -- this portion
-- this aspect of this application and consider its role in the future, taking all these factors
into consideration. We, therefore, respectfully request that you deny the plan for these
four streets near the intersection of Taconic and Eagle and require the applicant to
relocate the patio homes and the related streets within the neighborhood to disperse
traffic congestion and improve traffic flow. Please do not approve this aspect of the Sky
Mesa application based on assurances that all will be well. Taconic is the primary egress
and ingress -- egress route for hundreds of homes. This proposal offers no compelling
justification for the four streets and 39 patio homes at its entrance. No rationale based
on need benefits the neighborhood or otherwise. In fact, the north portion of it contradicts
the FLUM and all of it raises serious questions of public safety, especially for the most
vulnerable among us, our children. Would you honestly feel confident sending your
elementary age student to walk to school from this neighborhood? It's design in no
manner embraces the city's stated principles and values to make Meridian more livable
and walkable. We feel we have a moral duty to ensure the public welfare and safety of
our children. Indeed of all of our residents. Please, do not jeopardize the safety of our
children, pedestrians, cyclists, motorists on hearsay or good intentions or the hope that
all will be well. We respectfully ask for your consideration of this request and clarification
on the following revisions to the plan as submitted by the applicant . My presentation has
addenda that supports some of the facts included in this.
Bird: Is there any questions for Mrs. Karnes?
Karnes: Thank you.
Bird: Thank you very much.
Coles: Next on the list is Sam Karnes. Signed up against, wishing to testify.
S.Karnes: Sam Karnes. 5556 South Graphite --
Bird: Let me ask you a question. Are you part of this coalition, the -- that she's --
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 28 of 82
S.Karnes: I'm not an officer or board of director or anything. I'm speaking as someone
who lives in Blackrock.
Bird: Do we need to give him the ten minutes, too? State for their group. But, go ahead,
we will give you three minutes.
S.Karnes: Well, they have people -- like five neighborhoods. I live in one of the
neighborhoods. I didn't know what she was going to talk about. She is my wife, but I
thought --
Bird: I understand that. I have been married for --
S.Karnes: I kind of go to work and do my own thing. But, coincidentally, she did say
some things that I was going to emphasize and that's -- that's -- well, with -- you know,
the budget discussion, public safety came up. It's an important thing. And that -- as a
former city councilman in Texas, a lawyer, I can tell you that's -- you know, I guess I'm
approaching this from -- from your perspective. I mean who has approved the school, the
park, the YMCA, if the library ever gets passed, on the east side of Eagle Road. Who
was approving all of this housing on the west side of Eagle Road? You are. And you
have a responsibility to ensure that all of those homeowners and their children that are
living on the west side, have a safe way of crossing Eagle Road, because that's the only
way to get there. I can't tell by that plan -- I don't think anyone knows exactly what's going
on and Mr. Barton's -- Borton's questions were -- went to that also. You know, there
needs to be clear cut access. I couldn't tell from the depictions that Mrs. McKay showed
what's going on. I can show you what happens if you leave it to ACHD to determine. I
had a slide or a picture I took last night. Hopefully we can cue this up, but, anyway,
basically, at just north -- just north of this intersection is Amity and Eagle. There is a
roundabout there, it's just a single roundabout, and -- here it is right here. If you can see
it. This is it. And it kind of looks similar to the depiction we saw tonight. There is no
signage. There was no indication of how you get across. I had a picture of a gentleman
going across last night at 7:00 o'clock. He was stranded on the island. He was not there
this morning. I assume he made it out. But I'm not sure -- he just kind of jumped through
between some cars. Now, there are 50 mile an hour speed limits on both roads through
this intersection and this is ACHD's idea of how to get across? There is no signage or
anything. You're on your -- the pedestrians are on their own and that's going to be the
same situation going north or south on Taconic once the kids cross Eagle Road. You
know, they are going to have to jump out between cars that are coming off a 50 mile
speed limit on Eagle Road, off of a double roundabout -- how are you going to be paying
attention to children that are trying to get across Taconic? There is no way to do it. That's
basically all I have to say.
Bird: Any questions for Mr. Karnes?
S.Karnes: Thank you.

Bird: Thank you very much.
Coles: Next on the list is Andrea Shelton. Signed up against, would like to testify.
Bird: State your name and address, please.
Shelton: Good evening. My name is Andrea Shelton. I live at 2498 East Cyanite in
Blackrock. Most of what I was going to say has been covered, but as I sat there and
listened to your budget discussions, Councilman Borton, you made the statement: Safety
cannot be compromised. And it was in view of financial things, but in this instance I want
to speak to the safety issues of our children. I am very concerned with the elementary
school being across Eagle Road and our children have to cross that road in order to get
there, across a 50 mile an hour road. I think it's sad at best that we would put them at
more risk in their own neighborhood that they have to negotiate these other two streets
on each side of the street that are so close to Eagle. We believe that the safety issues
that have been set by Ada County Highway District, as well as the City of Meridian to
keep those roads away from a major intersection to 330 feet away should be followed. I
really believe what you said, Councilman Borton, when you said safety cannot be
compromised.
Bird: Any questions?
Cavener: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Cavener.
Cavener: I guess for clarification -- that's for your testimony, Mrs. Shelton. If I'm hearing
you correctly, your -- your issues are -- they are not with the zoning or the patio style
homes or homes butting up to --
Shelton: It is the roads. I have no problem with the patio style homes, but I think that it
should be opened up into the neighborhood itself , not so close to Eagle Road. It will
cause problems. There is just no way it won't.
Cavener: Thank you.
Shelton: Thank you.
Bird: Mrs. Shelton?
Shelton: Oh.
Bird: I got a question. The children out of Blackrock that go over to Hillsdale?
Shelton: Yes, sir.
Meridian City Council

Bird: How do they get there now? Bus?
Shelton: A bus.
Bird: Okay.
Shelton: Because there is no walkway at all.
Bird: No. There is no walkway. Thank you.

Coles: Next on the list is Ben Shelton, signed up against, not wishing to testify. Mike
Wageman signed up against, not wishing to testify. Lani Wageman signed up against,
not wishing to testify. Andrea Tlucek signed up against, wishing to testify.
Tlucek: Andrea Tlucek. I live at 5866 South Graphite Way, Meridian, Idaho. President
Bird and Council Members, thank you for once again providing time to be heard to those
who are opposed to the current plans of the Boise Hunter Homes for Sky Mesa East. To
be honest, even though there have been some concessions for which I am very grateful,
I have felt that we have been beating our heads against a very sturdy wall. I would ask
your indulgence as I read what I have to say, so it, hopefully, makes some sense. I have
three specific issues that concern me. First, I worry about the dangerous intersection at
Taconic and Eagle Road. You have heard before and will continue to probably hear this
evening more reasons against the proposed plan by AC HD for that intersection. Even
with ACHD's proposals, I believe the intersection will continue to be a danger for foot and
bike traffic, most of which will be children and families. I believe it might be difficult for
drivers to pay attention to those crossing Eagle Road while the driver anticipates and
travels through the proposed roundabout. It can be difficult to see, especially small
children, the other side of a roundabout while concentrating on who is joining or leaving
the roundabout. I understand that roundabouts require little or no upkeep compared to
lighted intersections. However, bringing traffic to a halt makes more sense for the safety
of those crossing Eagle Road to go to school, the Y, or to visit school friends in Century
Hills. Plus I believe a traffic light will not only help slow traffic on Eagle Road, but also on
Taconic. In addition, streets turning into and out of the proposed 39 patio homes off of
Taconic had been slated to be allowed to be set back from Eagle Road only 210 feet,
rather than the accepted 330 feet. Potentially there is a danger of not having turning room
off of Eagle Road because of cars training into that area, which would cause vehicles on
Eagle Road to back up. Therefore, I respectfully would ask that we have a stop light with
crosswalks at the intersection of Eagle Road and Taconic. People seem to understand
how traffic lights work better than turnarounds. In addition, if it is inevitable that the patio
homes be built, couldn't their access come from within the subdivision, eliminating the
need for those four access roads into and out of the patio homes off of Taconic? I
understand that this would require Boise Hunter Homes to revamp their plans and even
possibly lose a lot or two, but, in my opinion, safety should come for first. Second, I am
mindful of the lack of larger lots in Sky Mesa East. Having been led to believe that this
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 31 of 82
area of town would be a rural like one , many of the current residents bought just for the
rural feel it now offers. Having moved back four years ago to Idaho, my home state, I can
safely say that there is a lack of lots of one half acre or lar ger in Meridian and I believe
there is a need. Why are step ups allowed? I don't understand.
Bird: Summarize, please, Mrs. Tlucek.
Tlucek: Sorry?
Bird: Would you summarize, please.
Tlucek: Third. I appreciate that the slope along the homes on Cyanite In Blackrock have
a common area. However, couldn't -- shouldn't the lot sizes in Sky Mesa East along that
area be recalculated to allow for the fact that those lot sizes are now smaller ? I realize
that I'm not a speaker and often have facts incorrect. I would appreciate answers to my
questions, so that I have a better understanding. I am disappointed to have been led to
believe that I was buying into an area that was supposed to have a certain lifestyle or feel,
to only find that it is being changed. My home was and is the biggest investment I have
or ever will make. I believe development can happen without destroying the fields that
now exist along the southern rim of Meridian. I know that there are those who remain
neutral in this debate. However, by the number of communications and inputs you have
received, one can tell that the majority care and are interested . Thank you for allowing
me, as well as others, to express our concerns. As I said on a previous occasion of
addressing the Council, this meeting is begun with a prayer. I personally believe in the
power of prayer and have been praying about this situation for a long time. I would ask
that you, too, prayerfully consider what will be done and allowed now and into the future
specifically for this area of Meridian. Thank you.
Bird: Any questions for Mrs. Tlucek?
Cavener: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Cavener.
Cavener: Ms. Tlucek, can I ask you just a question. I heard you indicate you are against
this project because of the lot sizes and I understand that you felt that maybe you were
misled by someone. But that aside, what's your opposition to the smaller lot size? What
is it about that that you take issue with?
Tlucek: Houses are closer together. Oh, sorry. Houses are closer together. There is
not a sense of room. There is not a sense of openness. I think that it -- it blocks views
when you walk out your door and all you see is another house. I'm concerned that -- one
thing that I didn't say is I would ask that there be restrictions on heights of houses that
are along those lots that are next to Blackrock. Those people have spent big bucks buying
larger lots and a view and it would be a shame for that to be destroyed.

Cavener: Mr. President, additional question.
Bird: Mr. Cavener.
Cavener: Mrs. Tlucek, is your concern about your current view or the views of the people
that would move into this new development?
Tlucek: I am concerned about views from Blackrock.
Cavener: Okay. Thank you.
Tlucek: Uh-huh.

Wheeler: Doug Wheeler. 2402 East Taconic. Mr. President and the Council, once again
we have an evening together. We thank you for all your time. My concerns are partially
from what I have kind of got a feeling a little bit from the Council -- and maybe I'm incorrect
on this -- it seems as if these spoiled brats up in Blackrock are wanting all these different
things. My wife and I are both teachers, some of the highest paying, you know, jobs in
the world. We have spent over 30 years trying to accumulate so we could buy a place
for our retirement, which we did. We did our homework, like we told our students to do,
and the picture that we see now is not what the homework was providing and so I would
-- I guess I would ask you to kind of put yourself in our spot. This is our investment. This
is our retirement. And we have R-8 all over the city and there are a few places that
seemed like the property lends itself to this type of development where there is larger lots.
Many places do not have that. And so my plea is that we keep it more -- an account of
what we already have there. I am not knocking at all the Boise Hunter, I think they do a
fine home. My suggestion, for what it counts, would be to have the larger lots, charge a
little more for them, have a little more upgraded house, which I know they can build, and
have that whole situation taken care of so that the people on both sides can feel better
about that.
Bird: Any questions?
Cavener: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Cavener.
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 33 of 82
Cavener: Ms. Wheeler, I guess that's a similar question for you and I'm hearing somewhat
of a repetitive theme. Talk to me a little bit about why you're opposed to the proposed lot
size. What -- why the opposition for you?
Wheeler: Well, again, everything together, the amount of traffic it creates, the amount of
roof tops that it brings in, the idea that originally this was a much more rural setting and
it's becoming more and more like the center city of Meridian and that it's not necessary to
have that for a builder to be able to have acceptable amount of money from their
investment and the dollar sign I really feel -- and for a lot of people that I have spoken
with is they can't find that kind of lots that are larger and when we have a perfect
opportunity to make that happen, why not, you know.
Cavener: Mr. President, a follow up.
Bird: Mr. Cavener.
Cavener: Mr. Wheeler, if -- if, for instance, the developer had proposed a project that had
the same size of lot sizes, but there were less of them, you would be supportive of a
project like this?
Wheeler: If there were less --
Cavener: If the lot sizes were the same, but there were fewer lots. Perhaps the developer
wanted more open space or whatever reason they would want --
Wheeler: I think that has a validity to it, yes, but I also feel that, again, we moved to that
area because of the spaciousness and the feel like we weren't packed in. We could have
gone to any other development throughout the city and -- and had that and, yes, saved a
fair amount of money, but that wasn't what we were looking for when we were into a
retirement situation. If we were having a family, we were younger, that might have been
fine, but in this situation when we had a choice, that's why we went that way and I think
that there are many other people that have that feeling and that's why, again, I would ask
that maybe developers would look to that and say, hey, there is -- there is a market for
that and -- and that's why we went there.
Cavener: Thanks for your service in education. Appreciate it.
Wheeler: Thank you.

Herwy: Good evening. Christine Herwy. I live at 2373 East Taconic Drive in Meridian.
Bird: Thank you.
Herwy: Thank you for your time this afternoon.
Bird: Are you part of the -- excuse me. Are you part of the coalition?
Herwy: No.
Bird: Okay.
Herwy: I am not. So, I brought along pictures to try and just show what we currently
have, where we are, and what's proposed and to show how that's going to affect us. So,
this is Taconic and Eagle. So, this is currently where the roundabout is going to be. And
you can see right now we have, you know, some berming and landscaping at the
entrance, much like what is proposed from the applicant. You can also see that we do
have two medians, if you will. This is also each side. So, you can see that we do have
landscaping. Again, much like what is currently proposed. So, this is what our medians
look like as well. They are fairly long. Pardon me. So -- sorry, this isn't a very pretty
picture, but I have some questions about this. So, you can see, as a lot of people have
said, in yellow this is Eagle Road. Here is the roundabout. So, people are going to be
coming in at a high speed and they are going to be coming in with my blue line and there
will be a median that I highlighted in yellow. So, that means that person either has to go
-- turn right into the patio homes or go straight. So, it's a right-in, right-out. So, if they are
coming out the other end -- or here -- well, my pointer is not working. But on the other
end, they can loop around or go the other way. But what about the other people? So, to
get into the other side, the south side, they are going to have to go and wait and make a
turn and if they come back around to Taconic, they can only go right. So, what if they
want to come out of their patio home and go to the pool, which is going to be the other
way, do they have to get back in the round about to come back ? How is this going to
work? I'd like that question. Also I want to show across the street is Century Farm. They,
I feel, have done a very nice job of putting a really nice adequate boundary between Eagle
Road and the houses. So, this is still part of that boundary before -- and so is this. Before
you get to any houses -- and this is the other side of it. They have a lot of green space
and to your point, Councilman Cavener, I do think that it would make a difference if there
was more green space built into a subdivision, even with smaller lots. Also, the applicant
has mentioned many times that they feel as though their product is superior . These are
two pictures of Brighton and Century Home -- Century Farm, excuse me, and Boise
Hunter Homes at Sky Mesa. I -- you know, looking from the outside they look very similar
to me both seem fine. Back to this. You will see in the red this is where the patio homes
are and I can't see to the right of that where our berming is going to be in our -- in our,
you know, buffer. If you look across the street in the green, this is where the buffer is for
Sky Mesa. Or excuse me. Century Farms. It seems as though we could do a much
better job for safety and I won't -- you know, that has been addressed for buffering
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017

between Eagle Road and so I would ask, again, for this reconsideration of where these
patio homes are. You know, it's already a very tricky situation where we are trying to get
in and out and, then, it just adds to additional security -- excuse me -- safety issues.
Bird: Thank you. Any questions? Thank you very much.
Coles: Kathy Baumgartner signed up against, not wishing to testify. Charles Webb
signed up as neutral stating maybe he wishes to testify. No. Janelle Munson against,
not wishing to testify. Marllee Andrew signed up against, wishing to testify. I think I
mispronounced your name last week and I probably got it wrong again this week.
Andrew: You remembered.
Bird: Welcome.
Andrew: Marllee Andrew. 2417 East Taconic Drive, Blackrock Subdivision. I had never
stepped foot into a City Council meeting until about a month ago, because I always
wanted someone else to do it for me. I was scared or I -- I just didn't think that it was
going to matter. No one was going to hear it and I have been pleasantly surprised as this
process has been taking place and I appreciate you guys listening to our concerns. So,
I was born and raised in Boise, Idaho. Went to Borah where I met my husband, who was
also raised in Boise, Idaho. We both graduated from Borah. We both attended Boise
State and graduated. Worked six jobs between the two of us. We chose to stay here in
Idaho, because it was our home. We had four children, all born at St. Luke's. We have
had two cabins in the mountains, because we love the Idaho mountains. We currently
have three college kids attending three different colleges in Idaho and one at Mountain
View High School. We own three separate businesses in Meridian and the Boise area
and after living in our last family home for almost 20 years and a lot -- a lot of hard work,
we took the big step to build our dream home, in which I said last week, you know, we did
our research, we -- we found out that that property below us was R-2 and we talked to
Sky Mesa and they told us that the lots were going to match one to one on the transition.
This is just my story, but everyone here has a story. Everyone has a reason why they
chose to live in this Blackrock-Sky Mesa community. We have numerous doctors that
have chose to live on this side of the freeway, because it's close to the hospital. We have
lawyers, accountants, and retired couples, all who chose to live here in a rural area with
green space and kind of a quiet area to live. This is all personal for all of us or we wouldn't
be here today. I'm just a little bit confused on last week, what happened. At the very
closing remarks -- I quote that the Mayor had said usually they do one and a half lots to
every one lot transition -- in the transition and Hunter Homes quickly agreed to change it
to two lots after that and I'm just wondering why they didn't do that in the first place. My
husband attended all the neighborhood meetings and personally talked to Mr. Hunter and
the representatives and told him our concerns. He said e-mail them and make your
statement and we did so and we never heard back a reply of our concerns or anything
ever, the whole time this has been going on. I also share the same concerns of safety,
traffic congestion, overcrowding schools. I think that once we get our YMCA and all the
-- a grocery store and all the growth that's going out there, I think Eagle is going to be a
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 36 of 82
mess and we just can't be changed. I appreciate Hunter Homes trying to make some
changes, but I feel like it's still not an appropriate fit for this area. This is Idaho. This isn't
California. I'm happy to share Idaho with the people that are coming in. Of course they
want to move here. We are on the top tenlist. But I just hope that you keep the integrity
of our state and of our city and our neighborhoods. Thank you.
Bird: Thank you. Any questions? Thank you very much.
Coles: Gary Andrew signed up against, not wishing to testify. Tony Broderick signed up
against, not wishing to testify. And Elise and Aaron Poulson signed up against, not
wishing to testify. That's all the signups, Mr. President.
Bird: Is there anybody else -- it is a public hearing. Is there anybody else that would like
to testify? Come on up.
Broderick: Good evening, President and Council Members. My name is Lisa Broderick.
I live at 2331 East Lodge Trail Drive in Sky Mesa, Meridian, Idaho. I had previously said
that I wasn't going to testify just because I wanted to be respectful of your time. In the
discussions I agree wholeheartedly with what my neighbors had mentioned. I do want to
talk specifically to Mr. Cavener. At last week's meeting he had mentioned the -- the
discussion about diversity and how his -- one of the final comments of the evening was
there are no R-2s there and so for it to be truly diverse you would expect to see a wider
spectrum of that. The -- the feel of the neighborhood -- and, again, I'm in in Sky Mesa,
I'm not looking at it from above. So, my view is very much part of it. The feel is why my
husband and I moved here and we moved here from -- from Cloverdale and Overland.
So, not very far away. We wanted a larger lot. It took us seven months to find a larger
lot and we couldn't find one that already had a house on it that we wanted to purchase,
because most of those were either in the foothills, which we are not a foothills person, or
deep in northern Meridian and those areas are very congested . We really wanted to try
to find an area that was less congested and had that feel. So, I actually really appreciate
the changes that they made for this. I think that looks nice. I like the green spaces.
Obviously, I would like more, you know, if -- if I could ask for everything it wouldn't look
like this. But I do really feel that that diversity is not being met, if you look at diversity as
a whole and I feel that the -- the culture of that community, what was sold to my husband
and I and everyone else that has talked, is different. We were told that, yes, they are
going to develop. It will be very similar to what you have now. I'm on a point acre lot. I'm
right below Blackrock so I -- and I'm on a hillside, so I have, you know, all of those issues
that we have talked about the last time. But I wanted that larger lot and I like not reaching
out my window and touching a neighbor and being able to walk through the community
and being concerned that I'm going to walk and see these cookie cutter houses that are
right next to each other. To me that's a significant turn off for what is our final -- hopefully
our final investment.
Bird: Any questions?
Cavener: Mr. President?
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 37 of 82
Bird: Mr. Cavener.
Cavener: Kind of an off-the-wall question. You're not the first one tonight to bring up that
you felt representatives of the developer had reported that this project was going to kind
of a one-to-one match and was going to be large lots. My assumption is based on the
people we have heard from tonight who have done their due diligence, what has been
the response when you have brought that up to their attention and that's what you have
been told?
Broderick: Honestly, the only time that I brought that up is at the community meetings
and what we were told was that one that wasn't what the representative should have said
and/or that we are still within the future lot plan and so this was an appropriate step up .
Bird: Thank you. Anybody else? Come forward, sir. Please state your name and
address.
Andrew: Yeah. My name is Gary Andrew. I live at 2417 East Taconic Drive. My wife
was up here just a few minutes ago. The lot that we live on and the house that we live in
has been mentioned by many people during these discussions, so I figured I probably
should stand up as a homeowner and tell you who I am. I don't have -- these are just
some pictures, but if you go back to the first picture, this is a picture -- my lot is -- I don't
know if there is still a map up, but my lot is -- as soon as you go up Taconic up at
Blackrock, my -- my lot is on the left-hand side. It's a one acre lot that I saved for a long
time to get and I bought it and, then, it's the one that's been discussed that they are
planning on doing -- the original plan showed like three of their lots equivalent to the side
of mine. My lot also sits a little lower than some of the adjacent lots that have a little bit
higher views, but, nonetheless, I still have a view and let me tell you I paid for that view
and I pay all my taxes. This is my view from -- from the edge of my fence and I have been
trying to maintain as best I can, because it's owned by the sod farm guy who -- who is
selling all this I presume to Mr. Hunter and will do quite well on that. You can go to the
next one. Now, across the street of Taconic -- this is over on the Sky Mesa side that's
already been built and, I'm sorry, Mrs. Pope, this is her house. I'm sure she gives me
permission take this photo. This is across Taconic. Now, her lot is big. That's a big lot.
Much bigger than those ones that are going to be below mine and even her house blocks
the view of that -- of the guy on the rim there, but, nonetheless, it's -- it's big. I think Mr.
Hunter sold this to them and, then, they brought their own builder in and so they got a
good deal on it. Probably because it's on the corner there, but -- nonetheless, that looks
nice. What I fear on my side -- if you want to go to the next one, please. That's me
looking up at my house from the sod farm. So, that's -- that's my hillside and there was
going be three lots, basically, the span of what you see right there and so -- and if you
could go to the next one. That is all -- I have paid to have that maintained. My lot ends
where the fence is. You can see my fence starts to climb and go up to the neighboring
lots, which are higher than mine, and you can see the slope. I know they have already
discussed this to be common area and that that will be maintained, which is really nice,
because that's actually really hard work to do, even if you grow the fescue grass and stuff,
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 38 of 82
and my hope is that there will be restrictions in there that they can't just go up there and
plant some 50 foot pines or something and whatever else and -- and so -- so that I can
maintain some kind of a view. And when they are selling those lots, you know, I have a
pool up here -- yeah, I saved up a lot of money, I have worked real hard. Some people
would consider me wealthy, but when I swim it's a small suit and I'm going to be out there
whenever they are trying to promote these, along with my drum, so -- no. Joking aside
-- I could do that, but I just hope that they are good neighbors and they -- they respect my
view, as well as, Brother Cavener, I hope you ask the same question to me you have
several others -- am I more concerned about my view or their view and if they built a two
level house right there and they are looking into my bathroom , I guess I'd be more
concerned about their view, because my view doesn't bother me, so -- maybe Mr. Hunter
will sell me these lots and I will put some slides there and we can all just be happy. So,
that's my testimony.
Bird: Thank you. Any questions? This is a public hearing. Anybody else like to -- come
on up. State your name and address, please.
Keller: My name is Cameron Keller. My address is 2185 East Taconic Drive in Meridian.
So, I'm in Blackrock as well. I don't wear a little swimming suit, so I won't have that
problem. I think the biggest thing for me -- and it's been mentioned a couple times. I was
not signed up to testify, but now just because of the different discussion items that have
happened I wanted to come up and testify. I think the biggest thing for me is something
that happened this weekend as we -- we had some people move back into this area and
they were debating whether to live in Meridian or whether to live in Eagle and they said
our work -- it's so much closer to Meridian, but Eagle is so much more beautiful. It's so
much better from a -- from a beauty standpoint and I think, though, if you look from a
space standpoint and from a touching one house with one hand and the other house with
another hand, Eagle doesn't seem to have that same issue that we in Meridian have.
When we talk about diversity, I don't think we are talking just about diversity in this
subdivision. As has already been mentioned, there are hundreds and hundreds of homes
that are already in the smaller lot size area . We really have almost zero homes in the
whole south side of Meridian and the whole north side of Meridian that have any size to
them at all. So, if someone makes a comment like, well, my work is a lot closer to
Meridian, but I sure like Eagle a whole lot better, because it looks a lot better, I think that's
-- for me, my standpoint, that's the main reason why I don't want the smaller lots, because
I think we have plenty of them and I don't think we need more of them and so that's --
obviously, the safety issue already has been addressed and already exists , but the
biggest thing is just the -- the overall beauty of the community I think. It's just sad to see
all the open space go and I think it's all coming at a cost of really profit and I don't think
it's necessary, because we have got plenty of other options, plenty of other opportunities
that exist. So, to me it's completely unnecessary to have it be more and more and more
of these types of developments. I have also heard many times that -- that there isn't a
demand for bigger lots and I -- I feel like that's something that developers are saying that
there isn't demand for bigger lots, because every single person I have talked to in the
community is begging for bigger lots, not for smaller lots.

Bird: Any questions? Thank you very much. Public hearing. Anybody want to -- anybody
else? If not, applicant, do you want to come forward again?
Coles: Mr. President?
Bird: Oh. Oh, I'm sorry.
Coles: I was handed on additional name. She had to leave early. Amy Anderson.
Against this project. She wasn't able to testify, but wanted me to read her name into the
record.
Bird: Thank you.
Palmer: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Palmer.
Palmer: Maybe before Becky comes up, I have got a question for Justin, if he'd be willing
to join us, if that's all right. C.Jay, is there a way to show what's on my --
Coles: Councilman Palmer, there is not a way to broadcast your screen.
Palmer: And it cost as much as one of these houses to put --
Coles: I can put it on my screen if you would like me to pull something up.
Palmer: So -- well, I Googled HAWK signal roundabout, trying to figure out how one of
these might work and so the question -- I have a really cruddy picture anyway. So, I don't
know, maybe you can find the one, but -- anyway, in the functioning of one, if somebody
were to activate the signal at one of the crosswalks, does it stop traffic from entering any
portion of the circle or does it just -- just a few lanes that are going to be crossed in that
moment preventing people from entering or maybe exiting on that portion of the street?
How does the HAWK signal work in a roundabout?
Lucas: Mr. President, Councilman Cavener, just for the record, Justin Lucas represented
the Ada County Highway District. Business address is 3775 Adam Street in Garden City,
Idaho. I might have to look at the picture, Councilman Cavener, and just also for the
record I'm not a traffic engine and so if you're asking me a super technical question, I may
not be able to provide you with an answer tonight, but I certainly can find the answer for
you. But there are various design options for roundabouts and crossings . I don't know
exactly -- okay. Thank you.
Palmer: There weren't many on Google Images. This is the best one I found in a minute.
Lucas: Yeah. Depending on the design -- and I will try to speak -- this isn't a local picture.
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 40 of 82
Palmer: No.
Lucas: I'm not sure where this is from. There is various design options with a crossing
associated with a roundabout and at this specific location it looks to me as if there is
multiple HAWK signals associated with this roundabout, which is one of the design
options that is available. So, you can cross at one leg of the roundabout, at two legs of
the roundabout, at all four legs of the roundabout and all four legs could potentially require
some type of signalized crossing. I don't believe that's what's being considered at
Taconic, but that would have to be worked out through the -- through the specific design
process of that roundabout and during that design process things are looked at, such as
demand for the crossing, et cetera, et cetera, and all of the other things that would go
along with that.
Palmer: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Palmer.
Palmer: Mr. President and Justin and -- I'm not sure how to really approach the question.
Are you confident that in a roundabout situation that there is an appropriate design that
would safely facilitate children crossing the street at the same level that a HAWK signal
might provide here on the -- on the side of City Hall where it's -- where there isn't a
roundabout situation, it's just a straight --
Lucas: Mr. President, Councilman Cavener, it's not really my place in this setting to
provide some sort of guarantee --
Palmer: Sure.
Lucas: -- related to anything. What I am confident is -- is that ACHD has reviewed this
proposal. ACHD has carefully considered the use of a dual lane roundabout at this
location and ACHD, including its commission through the staff report that you have
received, has talked about the options and the different considerations as part of this
project and so I think it's safest for me in this forum to guide you to that staff report to let
you know that things like this were carefully considered as part of the public testimony
and other things that were heard by the commission and that they acted on those -- on
those items appropriately and in full view of the public. So, that's -- that's what I can --
that's what I can offer at this meeting, because it's -- it's -- it's not my place to speak for
my -- for the commission. They speak for themselves through the official staff report.
Palmer: Sure.
Bird: Okay. Another other questions for --
Cavener: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Cavener.
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 41 of 82
Cavener: Justin, since you're up here, I'm curious -- there is a -- there is a neighborhood
in Eagle Road -- it's in Boise, so I don't know the name of it. It's -- it's north of McDevitt
Park near Lowell Scott Middle School. So, you have got a neighborhood -- and I
recognize that in that part of Eagle Road you have got right-ins, right-out on Eagle Road.
But what does -- it state highway, but I'm just curious if you could -- if you have any idea
as to how they move students, essentially, from that neighborhood on the west side of
the road to the east side of the road to go to Lowell Scott.
Lucas: Excellent question, Councilman Cavener. ACHD in these situations where there
is pedestrian -- specifically school children demand across an arterial street, Eagle Road,
whatever it may be, we coordinate directly with the school district. Ultimately the school
district decides what they consider is appropriate for safety busing and what they consider
as not. I know that there are many locations within the City of Meridian and the West Ada
School District where there is a five lane road and regardless if we put in a crossing or
not, the school district has said they do not feel comfortable having children cross the
road at that location and they provide safety busing and so those -- and the Boise School
District looks at it a little bit differently and so you have different opinions based on the
different school districts and how they view safety busing and the busing that they provide.
We try as a highway district to facilitate children walking to school safely as -- that's one
of our top priorities as established by our commission through our Safe Routes to School
Program and you see the different -- many different facilities that have been put in place
over the last, you know, probably ten years that have been -- the whole purpose of those
facilities is to facilitate safe crossings for school children of these -- of these roadways.
That being said, ultimately, the decision on how a child gets to school ultimately is
probably up to the parent and, then, you have it go to the -- the school district, who weighs
in and they make actual specific requests to ACHD related to infrastructure.
Cavener: Mr. President, additional question.
Bird: Mr. Cavener.
Cavener: Justin, you touched on this last week about maybe not why to put a signalized
intersection there and I -- I trust the subject matter experts. I'm just a non- educated
person who sits up here. As someone who is not educated in traffic engineering, it seems
like a signal would make a lot more sense there than a roundabout. Speaking as one
who loves roundabouts -- I know that there is mixed feelings on that, but I look at, you
know, Bristol Heights and Hobble Creek, where those two neighborhoods converge on
Eagle Road, I believe there is a signalized intersection there. Over by Rocky Mountain
High, again, I think there is some signalized intersections over there, some
neighborhoods enter in. I'm just hoping -- and, again, I also know you're not a traffic
engineer as well, but maybe for myself and for those that are -- that are here in the
audience, what's the difference between those neighborhoods and what we inevitably
know is going to be out in that particular part of Meridian?
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 42 of 82
Lucas: Really good question, Councilman Cavener, Mr. President. I think the main
difference is timing of when those decisions were made. I can't quote off the top of my
head the exact date, but a few years ago -- I think it's several now -- maybe four or five
-- the Ada County Highway District Commission adopted a roundabout policy. Prior to
that roundabout policy the standard intersection treatment considered by the highway
district was signalized intersections. But the Federal Highway Administration and other
national organizations identified roundabouts as safety measures that should be
considered as part of the development process, widening roads, new intersection
treatments and because of these proven safety measures, the Ada County Highway
District commission chose to establish a roundabout policy, establish a roundabout map
and as part of that process the roundabout is the first consideration now. Under current
policy that the Ada County Highway District looks at for an intersection treatment. Is it
always appropriate? No. There are many where traffic volumes, other characteristics do
not facilitate the use of a roundabout and a standard intersection or some other
intersection type is used. I can say at this specific location it was identified for a
roundabout several years ago on our master street map. We have been preserving the
right of way through development process for a roundabout at this location and the -- the
concept of a roundabout here has been a part of the -- the discussion for several years
as new developments have come to this growing area.
Bird: Any other questions? Thanks, Justin. Becky.
McKay: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Members of the Council. Becky McKay, Engineering
Solutions, 1029 North Rosario. I will kind of go through some of -- some of the concerns
that were -- were brought up. One of the comments that keeps coming up is the fact that
R-2 -- the R-2 zone was below Blackrock. That is incorrect. The zoning below Blackrock
was RUT, Rural Urban Transition. There were two designations, medium density
residential and low density residential. The R-2 was located only north of Taconic and
when -- in my discussions with the staff, my discussions with the applicant, when they
took Southern Highlands through, they did not have a development plan for that portion
north of Taconic. So, one of the things that the City Council has done in the past is if you
want to be annexed and zoned, but you don't have a development plan and you want a
single family residential zone, we are going to give you an R-2 zone just as a holding
zone and, then, you bring back a site specific plan in a rezone application at a later date
and all the documentation that I reviewed from the previous staff reports basically
substantiated that fact. But below Blackrock it was RUT. Secondly, there was discussion
about Taconic, that that collector is the primary access out of this neighbourhood. There
is the access north out to Amity and you have heard a lot of complaints about -- but they
have that basketball medium. But that's a traffic calming device, which is what they have
asked us to do on Taconic. So, it's kind of like a little bit of a contradiction. You want
traffic calming to slow traffic, but you don't want to be inconvenienced by a traffic calming
median. So, there is kind of a -- you know, a little issue there. Secondly, the East Ridge
development that came before you and you guys remanded back to the Planning and
Zoning Commission for redesign, did have a noncontinuous collector that came up from
Amity and, then, it did interconnect through local streets to Blackrock. Now, one of the
things that is unusual in this case is typically I'm sending traffic in a proposed development
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 43 of 82
and it may -- may intrude into another development. This is the reverse. My traffic will
not go to Blackrock. All of Blackrock's traffic will come down Taconic through our
neighborhood. So, this -- this is a little bit unusual. One of the other questions was the
speed on Eagle Road. We did receive an e-mail from Christy Little over at Ada County
Highway District, along with the design of the HAWK signals for what the West Valley
School District is installing right now and her comment is that they anticipate dropping the
speed limit on Eagle Road as development increases. So, they feel that, you know, the
55, that speed limit is going by the wayside, because that's Ada County Highway District.
That's not ITD like the north section of Eagle Road. It was also mentioned about a school
-- that there was a little school insignia on this property. I did contact Joe Yocum at the
school district and I said, Joe, you know, Meridian has a little -- little flag showing a
possibility of an elementary on this site. Do you have any need for an elementary at this
site. He told me on the phone, no, we do not. He said, you know, those just go -- were
pins on the map we did years ago. We did one in every section. He said we just built the
Hillsdale Elementary and so we do not want a school site. But that was the first thing that
I checked. Now, as far as the roundabout at Amity and Eagle Road, those are two major
arterials. Now, the roundabout we are talking about will be at a collector and an arterial.
So, it's going to be designed a little bit different. It's not a major arterial to major arterial.
There has been a lot of debate on signals versus roundabouts. Now, what the highway
district told me is Hill Century Farms alone, without my project, warrants either a signal or
a roundabout when they hit a certain number of lots, that they are going through their
analysis now. Their traffic engineer is evaluating it. They look at both options and what
the -- what -- what will serve this particular purpose best. Right now the volume south of
Amity on Eagle Road is about 5,600 vehicles per day. You look at North Eagle Road,
north of Fairview, what are we at, 50,000 and pushing higher as The Village develops.
So, this is not representative of North Eagle Road. The number of trips on Taconic 922.
That's less than a local street of a thousand. Average lot size. Questions have been --
you know, what -- what's the average. And we have dropped two lots. We have matched
no more than two. We have agreed that we won't allow any plantings on that slope to
impede anyone's view. We have put it in a common lot. The HOA will maintain it. And
our average lot size that backs up to Blackrock is 17,262 square feet and our overall lot
size in the entire project is 10,350 square feet. So, these are not little dinky 5,000, 4,500
square foot lots -- and I know you guys see projects that come through with a lot of lots
like that. We have seven percent of our lots are 5,500 to 6,999. Twenty-three percent of
our lots are 7,000 up to 9,000. Thirty-seven -- almost 38 percent are 9,000 to 11,000 and,
then, we have over 30 percent are between 11,000 and up to 26,000 square feet. So, I
think, you know, when we are talking diversity, this is a diverse project and keep in mind
Blackrock is elevated above us. They sit above us. I'm down low. A question arose how
will somebody from the patio homes get to the pool . Well, I think she assumes that that
Raphine, which is the westerly street, is left out restricted. It is a full access and it meets
all the criteria of a full access. So, it's not -- no one will be inconvenienced in any shape
or form. And the landscaping that you see right at the roundabout, even after taking out
the roundabout right of way, is between 60 and 80 feet deep. There is a lot of landscaping
there. On the other side of the road where Hill Century Farm has their little barn, that's
where Ten Mile Creek comes through, so that's a floodway, so they had no choice but to
leave that area open and this project has over 13 percent open space . It's a really good

project. This project -- someone brought up Eagle. If this project -- I had a project identical
to this one in diversity, lot sizes, average lot sizes, that was approved in Eagle and the
people that live there tell me they love it and we had alley load, we had 55 foot lots, you
know, we just had pockets of them like we have here and people tell me they love it. This
is a walkable, open neighborhood and Taconic Drive is going to feel good, it's going to
look good. Like I said, it's going to feel just like Bridgetower does, where it's nice, it's
open, it's not just the 20 foot of landscaping in width, it's going to have a nice, open feel,
you're going to have a lot of walkability. This is a good project. We are 2.83 dwelling
units per acre and it really -- you know, I'm proud -- I'm proud of this and I couldn't stand
up here and tell you that if I didn't honestly believe it and I would like the Council to support
it. Thank you.
Bird: Any questions for Becky? Thanks, Becky. Council, what's your pleasure?
Cavener: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Cavener.
Cavener: If the Council is open to it, at least for the sake of discussion, just because I
know sometimes we head down a rabbit hole, I'd like to at least keep the public hearing
open for the meantime and allow -- if Council has got any discussion that we at least do
that before we close the public hearing.
Bird: We won't close it until there is a motion.
Cavener: All right.
Bird: Is there any discussion?
Cavener: If everyone else wants to be quiet, I'm happy to chime in. I don't know where
I'm going to go, though. For me -- I don't know about the rest of the Council -- this has
been probably one of the most conflicted I have been on a project that I have seen in the
past four years, because on one side you have what I think is a phenomenal development.
Quality project that meets a need that we see in our community. I think that the Hunter
brand has a strong reputation for quality. The amenities that we see in this project, the
pathways, are things that when we see a development come before us that meet the,
quote, unquote, minimum standards, I think a lot of times we are wishing they were
meeting what we are seeing here before us today. Likewise, I applaud Mrs. McKay and
the developer, because many of the changes that were asked of them they were open to
and I look at what I heard from the neighbors, those issues related to the slope being a
common area. The developer was quick to address that and be supportive of that. A
major area of concern for me was those neighbors that had three homes against their
backyard. Boy. Good grief. And, again, to the developer's credit they jumped at that and
said, no, you're right, let's drop a lot and let's -- let's answer to that. I think this is a great
project. It has challenges for me and this is at no fault of the developer. It's that access
on Taconic coming of 55 -- and I appreciate Mrs. McKay saying that ITD or the highway
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 45 of 82
district is going to lower that. They are not going to lower that to 35. They are not going
to lower it to 40. If they lower it from 55 they are going to lower it to 50. I can't think of
any part of Eagle Road that's not, you know, 45 or 50 miles an hour. So, I don't -- I don't
see that being a -- a huge drop and I do have some concerns about that roundabout and
today -- maybe that works today. I don't know if that works at a year from now and I don't
fault the developer, because they are taking the feedback they received from the highway
district. But this is -- the second piece -- and something that I have touched on on -- on
last week and I went back and forth, up and down on this all last week, is I'm a firm
believer that the southern part of Meridian is really special and I'm one that gets after
people for using arbitrary terms like special, but it just -- it feels different. Just like Old
Town. It's different. It's special. North Meridian is special. And I think this is a quality
development, but I don't know if it's at the expense of that special part of Meridian that we
don't have a lot of left and so I'm open to the discussion. I'm looking forward to hearing
from some of you on -- on your thoughts as to what we should do with this particular
application.
Bird: Any other discussion? Mr. Palmer.
Palmer: Mr. President. Just looking at an aerial shot of Blackrock -- and there -- there is
at least one house that's got four neighbors. Five if you count the corner of this property.
One that's got two. Another one that's got at least two. So, when it comes to the
adjustments that they made, I don't especially -- you know, if you look at it -- and there is
one of them -- there is a very wide side of the property that -- to be able to reduce that
down to two is impressive and I think adjustments to that really fulfill a lot of the -- should
fulfill a lot of the angst that came out of the number of neighbors considering that in the
existing property that, again, there is -- there is multiple places where there are multiple
neighbors, especially the one with at least four. Yes. Let me -- I wish I could just show
you mine. Maybe we can actually use the annotation here, if you want to turn me on,
C.Jay. If we can zoom in on -- on Blackrock. Okay. So, I believe this home has one,
two, three, four and -- yeah, it's just right in the corner, so not really a fifth, but four
neighbors adjoining his property. This one right here has got one and two. This one's
got two. So, that multiple adjoining properties is not abnormal to the area.
Bird: Beg your pardon? If you got to talk you got to come up here. Oh. Okay. The
public hearing is still open. We will let you talk, but, then, the applicant gets to talk again.
Palmer: Mr. President. And this is just me looking at a satellite view. If there is other
elevations that change something from how I see it I would love to know. It's different?
Bird: Restate your name and address, please.
Shelton: Ben Shelton. 2498 East Cyanite Drive in Meridian. Blackrock. I'm against the
south side is where my house is. To begin with those are acre lots, so you're going to
have more. I think our point of being next to people is not my land touches someone ,
because no matter where you go in Idaho you got four corners. You have got four
corners, so you're going to have four lots touching you somewhere. The point is I don't
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 46 of 82
touch someone -- I can go between houses down and you go like and you touch someone
and so that is my -- that's our concern is the distance between the houses, not the fact
that there is a house touching my lot, because if I have four corners I'm always going to
have a lot somewhere. It's how far away are those people. Are they 30 feet or are they
five feet and when I walk down the street or I go into a backyard do I have a place for my
kids to play, my grandkids to play. There are people that want that in Meridian and since
this has begun for the last few months I keep hearing, well, nobody wants that, they just
want the small -- they don't want to do lawns anymore and that really bothers me, because
just recently -- this last few weeks across from us the house didn't even make the market,
because there was people looking for houses like that and the realtor goes I have got
somebody for you. It never even made the MLS listing. People want larger lots in
Meridian, but we keep hearing the contractors say nobody wants to take care of a lawn
anymore. That's just not true and so that's what I -- I mean is the spread between the
homes, not just the fact that my lot touches someone else's lot. That's -- that's what I
wanted to express.
Bird: Okay.
Palmer: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Palmer.
Palmer: And, then, sir, the fact that that -- that story, you know, about a house not making
it to MLS is happening in every range of houses. The one literally next door to my house,
they put up a sign, but before they even had it listed one -- the Mayor's secretary bought
it. And it's -- I live in an R-8 and it's awfully close to my house.
Shelton: I get that, but there are people who want larger homes and we were getting less
and less all the time just so we can have more houses. I don't think it's necessary.
Palmer: And I have a question for your. Mr. President. So, you're on the southern end
of Blackrock you said?
Shelton: I am. Yes. I'm at the end of Cyanite, which comes off of Taconic to the left, the
first road to the left. We are right to the very end. Right down there. Yes. That's my
house to the -- right there.
Palmer: Okay. So, would any of the homes in the development be anywhere near as
close as your next door neighbor?
Shelton: Down below?
Palmer: Uh-huh.
Shelton: I think most of them will be closer.
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 47 of 82
Palmer: It appears your driveways there are really close.
Shelton: But that's why we have things like RV garages and space with drives and
everything else. Our homes, our places where we live, are separated extensively and
that just gives you more space and we talked about earlier was the space.
Palmer: Thank you.
Shelton: Okay.
Bird: Okay. Beck, you want to -- you get the last say. Okay. Okay. Council, anymore
discussion? The public hearing is open.
Borton: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Borton.
Borton: It's a wonderful project that -- it's just -- it's just really well done in a lot of ways
that we have already discussed and addressed and the applicant's made great
concessions to try and address some of the concerns. But one of the sticking points that
is a challenge -- and we speak to public safety -- is that entrance -- and Councilman
Cavener referenced -- is the entrance off of Eagle Road on Taconic and I wrestle with
ACHD's staff level approval of the -- of the access point and the 210 feet from that
roundabout and it -- the explanation in the staff report really doesn't address it. They --
they said it's necessary -- the waiver is necessary to provide access to that, which is a bit
circuitous, because -- that's why you have any sort of access is to provide access. So,
that didn't really satisfy me that -- that whatever that principle was that leads to a policy
that restricts that type of access, especially from a road that's 55 -- maybe 45, that's the
challenge and that -- that's a component -- and the applicant might have some great
comment that will give greater comfort, not only to myself, maybe other Council, maybe
the public, but this is that one and only chance to make sure the design is correct and is
truly safe and -- and turning right at 45 or 55, even though it's right-in, right-out, if someone
is turning right on Radiant to head west on Taconic, they are probably turning right from
a complete stop, so when you come in off of Eagle Road there is 210 feet, at 45 miles an
hour, your stopping distance is about 200 feet. It just seems like that's only going to grow
more unsafe. So, there is -- with regards to the remainder of the project, a lot of the issues
have been addressed we have talked about balancing considerations between R-2 and
R-4 and holding zones and trying to at sometimes meet in the middle to address
competing interests. But the one thing that I struggle with is if the time is appropriate for
this application with that design off of Eagle Road the way it is. So, comments for
consideration at least.
Bird: Any other comments?
Little Roberts: Mr. President?
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 48 of 82
Bird: Mrs. Little Roberts.
Little Roberts: I agree with both Councilman Borton and Councilman Cavener. It's a
great project. There is so many wonderful things about it. And I just struggle with that
-- the traffic and the roundabout and everything right there. It just seems with the HAWK
signals and the roundabout and the speed of the traffic, I think it was Councilman
Rountree that always said you can go slow -- it's better to go slow and I just feel like we
are just not there yet. I'm just not comfortable with that situation.
Bird: Any other comments? From my -- from my experience these traffic engineers prove
me so wrong that it isn't funny. Franklin and Eagle is a good example. I didn't think that
intersection would ever work. I thought -- in fact, I told them we would probably build it -
- better build a fire station out there. But I can tell you I don't think ACHD is going to let
anything that isn't safe -- I know the school district is not going to let anything that it's safe
for our children and I know that Council doesn't want anything that isn't safe for our
children, so I think it's -- I think it's the nicest project you could get for transition down. I
think the developer has went back and done everything that's been asked of them. You
know, I -- I don't know where you say yes or no to stuff like this. I mean I sat through at
least three City Council a long drug out meetings when Blackrock come in, because all
the people out there wanted five acre lots and so -- I -- I question the roundabout over
signalized stop lights, but the traffic engineers I'm sure have studied this pretty well.
That's my two cents.
Milam: Mr. President?
Bird: Mrs. Milam.
Milam: Kind of along the lines with what Councilman Cavener said, this has -- this has
been one of -- one of the most difficult hearings that we -- that I have personally been
through. I'm really torn. I'm listening to the neighbors. I feel your concern and your
lifestyle and I really appreciate that. On the other hand, Boise Hunter Homes does --
does a very high quality project and this project fits into all of the parameters that that
area was set up for. They are not stepping up. They are not asking for special provisions.
So, I can't really see a reason, other than the traffic safety, to even say no to this project,
other than I feel for your -- I feel about your feelings and your homes and your views, but
that's not technically really enough reason to decline a project to a developer who is
following all of the guidelines in that. You know, part of me wishes I didn't have to vote
on this at all, but that's part of the job. So I wish -- I wish it was going to be able to be a
win-win for everybody and, obviously, there is no way -- you know, they have come a long
way with, you know, giving in to some of the concerns and trying to make it a better
transition and a more comfortable environment and be better neighbors, but other than
reducing, you know, to half of the homes I don't see how they really could actually meet
all of the desires from all of the neighbors.
Cavener: Mr. President?
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 49 of 82
Bird: Mr. Cavener.
Cavener: My mic's off. I know that our public hearing is still open and I guess, you know,
I got a question for Becky, if you'd be open to it. Becky, you're one of the most
experienced people that comes to this type of work and I really respect your historical
perspective, so I'm going to make an assumption that when a roundabout was first
presented, like many of us up here, you probably questioned that and I'm just curious if
you could share with us some of that historical knowledge about the intersection , why
was it designed the way it was, why as a representative of the applicant if you were
supportive of that. To me that would be really helpful.
McKay: The way this would work -- whether it was a signalized intersection or whether it
was a roundabout, the distance remains the same. Now, I had the traffic engineers with
Six Mile, who are highly respected in the valley -- ACHD uses them -- evaluate it and they
said, you know, it's outside the influence area of the roundabout, because I don't do
anything that they don't recommend. If I -- and I always tell them, you know, look at --
look at our plan, let me know if you see any, you know, red flags. Now, what we could do
is we could slant that approach, so that it's more like a slip lane where you just slip into it.
That's what you have the Council approved at Jackson's on Eagle Road and Pine,
because they had so much difficulty with people getting in and out, solely on Pine and
they said for -- you know, it doesn't meet any policy standards of ITD, it doesn't meet any
city standards, but for their viability as a store they needed that slip lane and they put it in
there. My office is just off Pine. I have never seen an accident at the slip lane. Ever. It's
never -- no one stops. They just -- basically that's why they slip in. So, we can angle that
Radiant on the north side so that people -- it is angled they just slip in and there is no
stopping and backing up through the roundabout. Now, where I see the problem in the
roundabouts, to be honest with you, is people to become confused in the roundabout on
are they the one to yield or they are not the one to yield and I have been confused before
in Nampa and I almost got hit at the Pine roundabout, which ACHD says is not their
preferred new design, because the speeds are too fast. A roundabout is intended,
according to ACHD, to be -- you're supposed to slowly traverse it, not go through at 55
miles an hour and, you know, I -- I like signals. Signals, basically, are cheaper to design,
cheaper to install, but I know the district has embraced the roundabouts, because cost,
maintenance cost is so much less. They can't carry the same high volumes that signals
do and there are appropriate places where they operate very well and there are places
the district has admitted they are not appropriate. It's not my call. It's the highway district
commissioners' call. Is this -- is this appropriate. But what they do -- they know that
school is down on Amity, but there is going to be cross-traffic coming from Taconic. So,
pedestrian safety is going to have to be number one issue in the functionality and the
design of this. So, you know, I have been doing this for 20 -- I'm going on 27 years and I
wouldn't bring something before you that would endanger children . I have lived here in
Idaho my whole life and I have had three kids in the Meridian School District that grew up
and my daughter is an elementary teacher in Middleton and -- and if I wasn't confident
that this could operate safely I would not bring it before you. Thank you.
Bird: Thank you. Any other questions? What's your pleasure, Council?
Meridian City Council

Page 50 of 82
Borton: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Borton.
Borton: Becky, I do have one question for you. Sorry.
Bird: We are going to make you get your exercise.
Borton: Yeah. With that experience I got to ask and it's -- it's never necessarily wise to
try and talk design at this late, late, late stage, but talk to me about when and if there was
a consideration of making -- instead of Radiant those, two accesses onto Taconic, having
it a long J cul-de-sac with requesting a waiver on block length or a cul-de-sac length, so
you would come in on the full access into those patio homes and it J around to a cul-de-
sac, so there would be a single access point in and out, understanding there may be a
waiver to policy to accommodate such a design. And just to eliminate the right-in, right-
outs.
McKay: Yeah. The only problem with that is in working with Scott Fulcher, who owns
that outparcel there, I worked with him on transitional lot sizes to make that lot bigger and,
then, giving him access. We have got gravity irrigation. A well over there. A pump
station. I mean there -- you know, there are --
Borton: Mr. President?
McKay: Yeah.
Borton: And again I --
McKay: You guys allow 450 feet in cul-de-sac length, which isn't --
Borton: Without -- without granting a waiver to that requirement under --
McKay: Oh, I don't believe you can grant a -- you had -- the Council can't grant a waiver
to maximum cul-de-sac length.
Bird: No.
McKay: I believe it says shall. No culdesac shall exceed 450 feet in length measured
from center to center.
Bird: For safety. Anything else, Mr. Borton?
McKay: But I mean you -- I mean you find situations like this throughout the valley. You
know, right-in, right-outs used to be at 220, so you have them all over Ada county at 220.
I am at 210. And a lot of those are on a major arterial intersection.
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 51 of 82
Borton: Mr. President? You made the comment of slip lane --
McKay: Yes.
Borton: -- which I understand what that means with regards to the Jackson's on Eagle
and how would that be accounted for here?
McKay: Okay. So -- so, the Radiant is perpendicular to Taconic, so instead of making it
perpendicular, we slant it so that traffic that goes right into Radiant does not have to slow
down -- does not have to stop and turn, so it doesn't create any delays. That's what a --
that's what a slip lane does. Over at Two Rivers they restricted their accesses to right-in,
right-out and so they -- they have got them now so they are angled so they -- they don't
slow traffic down on Eagle Road, which is going 55 and that's a state highway and, then,
it angles in and it doesn't slow or stack. So, I think -- you know, the purpose here -- I
guess you may be looking at the roundabout like people are whipping in through 55 miles
an hour. They are designed with those channelers, so you can't do that at 55 miles an
hour, that you have got to go through them. I don't know what the design speed is, maybe
Justin -- you know. But I know they want that traffic to be like 30 , 35 miles an hour as it
goes around and, you know, as -- as we build these the highway district's in a learning
mode, they use them all over -- I mean all over the world and, you know, they are
embracing them and every time they build one they get better and better and, like I said,
we can design, you know, that to be at an angle, so all you -- you can just slip right in. I
don't see that this is -- like I said, you have got them all over town at 220 feet or less. ITD
used to allow them at 50 -- we could have an approach at 50 feet. That's what happened
to Fairview.
Borton: Okay.
McKay: That was not good.
Borton: That's helpful. Thank you, Becky.
McKay: Thank you.
Bird: Thank you, Becky. Anything else, Council?
Cavener: Yes, Mr. Bird.
Bird: Mr. Cavener.
Cavener: Justin, question for you if you would, please. My question as you're walking
up here is -- I can't think of a situation in Meridian that we have got a roundabout that is
also providing access into a neighborhood. Just hoping if you could direct me towards
anywhere in Ada county or Canyon county if you can recall a spot where you're using a
roundabout to gain access into a -- a neighborhood.
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 52 of 82
Lucas: President Bird, Councilman Cavener, for the record Justin Lucas representing
Ada County Highway District. Off the top of my head I don't know if -- if we have a
roundabout in Meridian that provides access to a neighborhood off of an arterial street.
The plan is to do more of them. That's certainly our -- the direction the Commission is
headed. This is -- obviously there is a roundabout -- an existing one just north of this
location at Eagle and Amity. That roundabout is proposed to be widened to two lanes as
part of the Albertson's project, so this is not the only roundabout in this area and people
are certainly learning how to operate within roundabouts in this area and one thing about
roundabouts is they do work well in a circuit or line where you use consecutive
roundabouts, because people become familiar with the movements and if they are
consecutive, then, they are used to doing those movements as they go down a corridor.
That being said, to answer your specific question, I -- there may be one, I just -- it's not
coming to my head right now.
Cavener: I asked kind of a follow-up question --
Lucas: No problem.
Cavener: -- but it sparked conversation. Thanks, Justin.
Lucas: Thank you.
Bird: Council?
Borton: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Borton.
Borton: I don't know if staff had any comments, questions, or concerns with regards to
comments on a -- if that's what -- lane adjustment assists in any fashion on safety
concerns?
Allen: President Bird, Councilmen, Councilman Borton, not necessarily, no. We are not
traffic engineers.
Borton: Okay. Just wanted to give you the chance to --
Allen: Thank you.
Borton: -- provide input.
Bird: Do I have a motion or something or are we going to sit here with a public hearing
open for the rest of the night?
Cavener: Mr. President, I will get this ball moving forward --
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 53 of 82
Bird: Mr. Cavener.
Cavener: -- for everyone. Mr. President, I move we close the public hearing on Item 8-
F.
Palmer: Second.
Bird: Got a motion to close the public hearing and a second. All in favor say aye. Any
opposed?
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Bird: Okay.
Cavener: Question I guess. Mr. President. Sorry.
Bird: Mr. Cavener.
Cavener: I think probably for Mr. Nary or maybe even Sonya or Bill. I have got some
changes maybe that I will want to include in my motion potentially. My biggest concern
is about this -- this access piece and I need some clarification from staff about our ability
to seek further guidance from the highway district on that particular access point. I
recognize that ACHD has already rendered a decision on this, but it's -- I guess
respectfully it's one that I disagree with. I'm just curious if someone can give me a little
bit of insight as to what, if any, course of action I could make in my motion to take that
piece into consideration.
Nary: Mr. President? Oh, go ahead.
Bird: Mr. Cavener, we got -- staff.
Parsons: Mr. President, Members of the Council, as Justin stated, I mean typically ACHD
has made their decision and they approved it as it's shown to you tonight. If you need
further clarification on that or justification from -- why they think it's safer, it's certainly
within your purview. You're the land use authority to ask for some of those things. What
we don't want to happen is our Council and ACHD not coming together on a project.
That's kind of -- that's where we are at this point. So, certainly it's your prerogative. You're
here making the land use decision, so if you need further clarification maybe have Justin
come up and ask him to go back to the Commission and see what can be done or have
Justin come up and see if there is anything else the staff there or their commission can
do.
Nary: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Nary.
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 54 of 82
Nary: So, Mr. President, Members of the Council, Council Member Cavener, I guess you
have a couple of options. So, if you're talking about just that one access concern or
question in regards to Taconic and Radiant Way -- or Radiant Avenue, you have the --
you have the ability and discretion in the preliminary plat on what you would like this plat
to look like and probably in the -- Chief Butterfield could correct me if I'm wrong -- my
recollection is that a secondary access isn't required because of the number of lots it
serves. I think a single access can be approved from the fire's perspective . You could
-- you could recommend that that access on Radiant Avenue be an emergency access
only. To change that, which I think the developer may want to do, they will have to work
with the highway district to figure out another way to address it and maybe that slip lane
would be the recommendation or maybe something else , but that's the only thing I can
think of on the plat that you would adjust is that one access point being simply an
emergency access only. We do have a few of those around town -- not a lot, but we have
had a few of those as a secondary only and the one that comes to mind is Spurwing West.
We have a service road access to the rear of that subdivision -- that's the only secondary
access to that particular development and the rest of it goes through a main collector like
this. Off the top of my head that's the best I can come up with, because I’m not an
engineer either.
Cavener: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Cavener.
Cavener: Just I guess a comment for the rest of Council. I am not one who is supportive
of denying a project because of my feelings of an access that's approved by ACHD. I'm
one that believes wholeheartedly and supports staff level decisions and, again, I -- we
rely so much on subject matter experts. I could see a scenario, though, in a staff member
at ACHD may make a recommendation to the commission, maybe it's a busy agenda and
they go along with it and in light of maybe further sunshine on this would say, hum, if
given the opportunity to look at this again maybe we would have a different decision. I
don't know. Again, I don't know where the rest of you are on this. I think that I have come
to terms for the most part with this project, with some slight modifications, but that access
piece to me is a -- is a glaring issue and one that if we don't address now is -- could be I
think problematic in the very, very near future.
Bird: Any other discussion? Hearing none --
Milam: Mr. President?
Bird: Mrs. Milam.
Milam: So, in response to that, Councilman Cavener, maybe an idea would be to have it
reviewed and not specify how we think -- we, the nonsubject experts -- as opposed to us
stating how we think it would be better -- ask for a review.

Cavener: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Cavener.
Cavener: As much as I know that the applicant and the citizens that have been through
this process would -- would love to see some closure on this particular issue, I think that's
-- that's where -- at least where I am is that I -- I would be supportive of continuing this to
give the highway district another opportunity to weigh in on this and if the response comes
back, no, we stand by that, so be it, but -- and I guess just -- here is where it boils down
to me and I think -- again, I have been a staunch supporter of roundabouts, but -- and
when I hear that it gets better each time -- Eagle Road is not an experiment grounds
where we -- we try and put something in that may be better down the road . If, indeed, a
roundabout is the best course entering into a nei ghborhood there, okay, but I guess I
really would like the highway district to -- to articulate that very clearly to us.
Bird: Let me make a statement. How would you feel if the ACHD wanted to tell us how
to do our land development? That's basically -- they -- they are our highway people that
do the -- that have the experts down there and to my knowledge and to my thinking have
done a very, very good job.
Cavener: Mr. President?
Bird: Yeah.
Cavener: I don't think this is something that our Council is doing on a regular basis. I
think anyone in the valley would acknowledge that Eagle Road is a major transportation
hub and we have a neighbor that's taking access off that and we have heard from ACHD
this is a new process for them and one that we want to make sure -- again, we have heard
it from many members of this board if we are going to do it we want to make sure it's done
right. I think the highway district would be well within their purview if they were hearing
from their constituents on a particular land use issue that they would ask us to review that
and I think that, again, because we value the relationship with the highway district, we
would be willing to do that.
Milam: Mr. President?
Bird: Mrs. Milam.
Milam: So, is there any way, other than keeping this open and dragging this out longer ,
to stipulate that they review it and either re-approve it or change it -- I don't know. That's
just -- I guess that would be a staff question. Because if we were to approve this tonight
with a stipulation that ACHD needed to either re-approve this -- to review it and make
sure that this is truly the safest, best avenue or if they decided, no, that maybe a light
would be better, would -- could they, then, change it after the hearing if we close it?
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 56 of 82
Allen: President Bird, Councilmen, Councilman Milam, we can certainly make that
request to ACHD. I'm not sure if they have a mechanism or not to re-review a project
after they have already had a hearing and a decision has been made. I'm getting the --
the head shake form Justin Lucas, ACHD, that, no, that's not the -- not the case.
Milam: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. --
Milam: Sorry.
Bird: Justin, do you want to come up. Well, wait a minute. This is a public hearing. This
is the consultant, so --
Lucas: Mr. President, I believe you closed the public hearing, but it's at your discretion,
obviously, if you'd like me to provide further comment.
Bird: Go ahead.
Lucas: So, I understand that -- the Council's deliberations and I am sensitive to that. I -
- what I can do is say that I'm not aware of a process we have at ACHD to review a quasi-
judicial decision that they have already -- my commission has already made. They acted
on a prelimary plat, much like you act on preliminary plats. There was a public hearing
for this specific project. This was not all done at the staff level. Some projects are. They
are approved only at the staff level. This specific project there was a public hearing with
public testimony. Much of what you have heard tonight was shared with the ACHD
commission and they acted after hearing that public testimony and considering all of the
different things that have been brought up. That being said, I just wanted to clarify that
I'm not aware of a process that I would be able to go back to my commission on and have
them revisit an action that they have already taken. I believe the action they took were
outside of the period in which -- as much as you have -- the period in which you can
request reconsideration or appeal and that's the -- I think that's the only mechanism that
they can revisit an action through a -- through a decision like this on a land use application.
Bird: Thank you, Justin.
Borton: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Borton.
Borton: If I understand the discussion right -- and procedurally the only option that would
be available with a closed public hearing, if -- and I'm just describing procedure, not
making a motion, but it would be with a closed public hearing to be tabled for a week or
two, depending on when our next meeting is, for the applicant to bring back -- to request
-- it's not a reconsideration necessarily from the ACHD commission, but perhaps a
narrative discussion, invite ACHD to assist in that, perhaps the traffic engineer would --
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 57 of 82
would be able to provide that narrative that addresses this specific issue with regards to
the roundabout, the 210 feet and could give some comfort to where this situation exists
elsewhere in the city or in the valley, how it works, perhaps from a more granular
engineering perspective and that could come back and be presented and a decision could
be made, if there is not a -- not a mechanism to have -- that I'm aware of -- that allows it
to be reviewed and it doesn't sound like there is a request to ask ACHD to reconsider and
change its decision, it's more with respect to the decision been made and the input they
received, to understand how they got to that conclusion, so we can feel comfortable, the
public can feel comfortable, we get it, we understand why in this context 210 feet is
appropriate in light of all the circumstances -- I get it. I think that helps everybody and if
a week or two allows that data to be provided -- not reopening the public hearing and
rehashing everything, but having that input presented from the engineer and ACHD staff,
a narrative might help.
Nary: Mr. President?
Bird: Waiting for a motion.
Nary: Mr. President, I just had a question. Mr. President, I just had a question.
Bird: Okay. Mr. Nary.
Nary: Mr. President, Members of the Council, and Council Member Borton, I guess I'm -
- I'm slightly confused, because I'm not certain what the concern is. Is the concern from
the Council the roundabout itself? Because I believe the testimony was it's going to be
constructed anyway. It's part of the Hillsdale project already. So, is the access onto
Taconic -- we do have -- and it's one minor intersection in the city, but we do have an
intersection at the railroad tracks on Linder that only allows a right-out only. So, there is
no right-in there at the railroad tracks and it was because of access issues and things and
a little bit more -- less the traffic in this. But, again, you have the discretion on the plat to
determine -- and it doesn't have to be an emergency access only, but you can prohibit
access in in that location if that's your desire and they could only exit out and make a right
out, so that people that would want to exit and go to Eagle Road would always have to
go Sapphire Way. So, I mean that's another option you could consider. I -- I just wasn't
clear I guess when I asked the question before if the roundabout was the question or if
just the access onto Radiant -- or from Radiant is -- because you can, again, make it
simply a right-out only and, then, there is no one exiting -- a slip lane isn't necessary, any
of that.
Bird: Thanks, Mr. Nary. Any other -- any other thoughts or --
Palmer: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Palmer.
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 58 of 82
Palmer: It seems like we are down to just this, that there is -- seems like there was fairly
good consensus among the rest of us that we are -- well, I'm not going to speak for you,
but that -- that we are down to this issue. I saw a whole bunch of head nodding as to the
idea of a -- of a right-out only, as -- as Mr. Nary pointed out. I guess I don't know where
I'm going. I don't want to be the one to make the motion, because there was a lot of other
stuff in here that I might have missed out on on the -- the different waivers and whatnot
and I saw Councilman Borton taking quick notes as Becky was going on about this. I'm
hoping he would make the motion. But is there -- is there any other concerns -- assuming
they are good with the -- the right-out only right there? Let Justin solve that issue.
Borton: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Borton.
Borton: This is getting tied in a knot now. The comment on the right-out as being a
solution I guess has me a bit puzzled. I'm not sure what Mr. Nary was -- just some of the
concern -- if -- with that proximity the 210 feet and this discussion we have been going
through forever is if you're trying to turn right out on Radiant to go west on Taconic,
somebody coming off of Eagle Road -- at a slower rate of speed, is that too close? Is that
a concern that there is not enough distance and there may be enough distance, but that's
-- that's some of the dialogue. So, if it's right out only that doesn't alleviate the problem.
Right-in only would prevent that left out on Radiant -- that may or may not be -- or may
be a concern. The right-in only, precluding a right-out on Radiant. Make sense? That
just gets in the weeds on this now.
Milam: Mr. President?
Bird: Mrs. Milam.
Milam: I concede to ACHD and their expert engineers and the people that do this for a
living and their commissioners. They went through this. I don't see why we are picking
-- I mean whether it -- we don't get it or it's confusing, I just don't see why we are picking
apart their work on the stuff that they do every single day -- that's what they do. They are
here to keep our -- to make our roads and our streets and keep it safe. I'm -- I'm just
uncomfortable with this whole discussion of -- because I don't have all the details.
Borton: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Borton.
Borton: I don't disagree, but I think it's this painful, nauseating grind is just because we
care and this is an important opportunity and the applicant respects the fact that this --
this -- and the public, this grind we go through is to try and get it right and even though
we are disconnected agencies, we really do have blended concerns and this is just one
of those areas where this is -- kind of makes it rise to the top. Having said that, I -- I agree
with you as well and I am -- I am comfortable -- we rely on -- on that agency to provide
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 59 of 82
that expertise and analysis and the applicant and the applicant 's engineer has done so
as well and -- and the narrative, as painful as it might be, is helpful to gain comfort when
a project like this goes forward that we can articulate why it's in the end appropriate to
bring into Meridian. So, I love these gritty details.
Milam: Mr. President?
Bird: Mrs. Milam.
Milam: I'm not -- I guess I did say I don't like having the conversation . I do like having
the conversation. What I don't feel comfortable with is making changes to what a
professional did and they know how it should -- how it should be. I don't. I am not an
expert. I have never built a road. And I feel very uncomfortable making changes to
something they did. I guess that defines it a little bit better.
Palmer: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Palmer.
Palmer: It's sad how many times I have to start off my motions with, okay, let's try this.
But before I do, I did have a question for Mr. Nary. Becky mentioned that -- in one of the
-- the requests for approval that -- I think it would at least be called late comers fees or
something. Is there -- is there any way to build into a -- the agreement or the motion or
whatnot that should the code ever change that it be retroactive and apply to this project
or is that something we need to just stay away from?
Nary: Mr. President, Members of Council, Council Member Palmer, so -- and I don't know
the state of that particular issue at the moment. I don't know where that is. What we did
previously is when we had -- we put the last -- the current one in place, we picked a date
as to when it would be reflective back to . So, that was the discussion at the time and if
you recall one of those projects predates this one that we have discussed changing that
reimbursement ordinance for. So, it's more awkward to put into a contract that we are
going to apply a future ordinance that doesn't exist yet. It would probably be more --
probably would be better to simply have the discussion when and if that comes in front of
you. They know it currently isn't eligible, but it could be and that would be the discussion
when that ordinance comes in place, so we would just set the date back to somewhere
that would incorporate some of these and that would be the Council's discretion.
Palmer: Mr. President? Thanks, Mr. Nary. That makes sense. Then I have got a
question for Sonya. As she was going through her list of waiver requests on the different
things there, was there anything that staff objects to?
Allen: President Bird, Councilman, 1.1.1B, what you were just talking about, I think we
have addressed that. The only thing I was unsure about is 1.1.2N and the statement that
the easement for the Beasley lateral that it looks like flows into the Ten Mile Creek.
Overflows. Will remain, since it's rare that the Boise Project Board of Control relinquishes
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 60 of 82
easements. She's requesting the Council allow the easement to be located within the
building lots. We may need to have that vacated. I believe that was platted -- or shown
on a -- on a recorded plat for Blackrock, so that may need to be vacated in the manner
before City Council. The rest of that condition looks fine, if you guys choose to approve
the easements to be located in the building lots.
Nary: And, Mr. President, I would make note that on the letter that's dated from the
applicant of August 17th, those particular ones I think she identified there. Actually, it's
supposed to be 1.1.2G and 1.1.2M.
Bird: Does that answer your question, Mr. Palmer?
Palmer: Mr. President, to a point. I'm sure it answered the question. What exactly that
all means I can't be positive.
Allen: President Bird, Councilman Palmer, if -- if we could leave a little wiggle -- wiggle
room in that and we can check that out with the Ada county surveyor and just make sure
what process -- or if there is a process to vacate and that could be reflected in the
condition.
Palmer: Now we need a lawyer to make the motion. Or to write it up for me.
Borton: You will get through it.
Bird: You will do fine.
Palmer: All right. Then here we go. Mr. President, I move we approve H-2017-0068 with
the -- the waivers that were requested, with the exception of 1.1.B and, then, with 1.1.2G
and N -- how do I word this? You say wiggle room.
Bird: Is that it? We got a second?
Palmer: Well, sure. To be worked out with staff. I see head nods.
Borton: Yeah.
Bird: Have we got a second to that motion?
Little Roberts: Second.
Bird: Got a motion and a second. Any discussion?
Cavener: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Cavener.
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 61 of 82
Cavener: A question actually for staff. I think condition 1.1.E about construction of the
pool at -- I think they are requesting the hundredth permit being issued? Is that what I
heard?
Bird: Yeah.
Cavener: As opposed to what was requested of them last week was when move into that
-- a phase, was that -- what was that from them last week? It said a question mark from
last week.
Allen: President Bird, may I respond? Councilmen? I was a little unsure, honestly, what
the applicant meant by with phase three of the development or after the one hundredth
residential lot. The intent, I believe, was that it be constructed with phase three of
development. I would maybe just end it there.
Bird: What's your pleasure?
Allen: There are two conditions that that affects. 1.1.1E and 1.1.10.
Palmer: So moved.
Bird: So moved. Second agree?
Little Roberts: Yes.
Bird: Okay. Any other discussion?
Cavener: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Cavener.
Cavener: I have a policy that if I’m going to be voting no against a motion that I at least
articulate the reason why. I think I have done a decent job of sharing how much I
appreciate this project. I just have significant concerns about the access and while we
don't necessarily have the maker to address this, it's not something I could be supportive
at this time.
Bird: Okay. Thank you. Any other discussion? Hearing none, Mr. Clerk.
Roll call: Bird, yea; Borton, yea; Milam, yea; Cavener, nay; Palmer, yea; Little Roberts,
yea.

G. Public Hearing Continued from July 25, 2017 for Linder and

Meridian City Council

Page 62 of 82
LLC Located south side of W. Overland Road, Approximately
1/4 Mile West of S. Linder Road
1. Request: Modification to the Existing Development
Agreement to Remove the Subject Property from the
Agreement and Execute a New Development Agreement
Solely for the Subject Property
Bird: Thank you. Thank everybody that -- you're very respectful. Appreciate it. Item G.
Public hearing continued from July 25th for Linder and Overland Apartments. H -2017-
0093. Which staff? Bill?
Parsons: Thank you, Mr. President, Members of th e Council, as you mentioned this item
was continued from the July 25th hearing. I'm just going to get you oriented to where the
property is located and that's the first part of my presentation and, then, share with you
what's changed since the previous hearing. So, as you mentioned, this is a development
agreement to change the concept plan for the site from an assisted living facility,
independent care facility, to a 336 multi-family development. The site is located on the
south side of West Overland Road, west of South Linder Road, and consists of 19.5 acres
of land and is currently zoned TN-C within the city. In 2012 there was a development
agreement modification that tied a new concept plan to this particular property and you
can see here in your graphic what -- the area that we are talking about here. So, if you
can see my cursor here, this is the 19.5 acres that's currently zoned. This is the master
concept plan for the overall development. So, all that we are really talking about tonight
is the 19 and a half acre site and as I mentioned to you, the DA modification is to tie a
new concept plan for 336 units and consists of 14 three story apartment buildings and a
9,000 square foot club house. This item was continued for primarily three reasons. The
first was, one, the aesthetics of the development. So, what was the site going to look like,
how was the architecture going to comply with the code. Two -- and the other one was
incorporating the ACHD retention ponds within the landsc aping on the site and the third
one was to see if there was adequate capacity to allow the additional increase in the
number of residential units. As I presented to you at the hearing last time, this site, again,
is tied to that concept plan that I showed you previously and this is capped at 250 units.
Again, the applicant is here to discuss 336. So, prior to tonight's hearing the applicant
did provide a 15 page document to you to kind of give you more of a comfort as to what
you are looking at and what you're approving to. I would mention to Council that this is a
DA modification. Although the zoning does allow this as a principally permitted use, this
concept plan and this contract that's currently on this particular property, is subject to your
discretion. So, if this is not approved tonight, that concept plan that I previously shows
you will remain on that property and this project cannot move forward unless this DA
modification is approved. So, I did want to make that very clear to you as we deliberate
-- as you deliberate on this project this evening. So, again, the applicant went back to the
drawing board and they made some modifications to their elevations and also provided
some conceptual renderings for you to take under advisement tonight . So, again, you
can see here a lot of landscaping. The architecture has changed substantially from what
you saw previously. You have more of a mix of materials on the building, so you can see
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 63 of 82
there is a mix of balconies and they also broke up the roof lines, which is in better
alignment with the architectural standards manual. What I also want to show you that
some of these are other additional renderings as well that you should take under
consideration. So, if I could quickly get to the DA provisions that -- that was shared with
you at the previous hearing -- a couple things to touch bases on. So, right now as we
have -- currently have it written -- I think it was one of the recommendations from our City
Council that the color rendering be included as part of the DA. So, certainly -- and my
recommended change this evening is that these renderings that I'm sharing with you this
evening we certainly want to -- if it's -- if it's your desire to include those as exhibits in the
DA -- as I mentioned to you the applicant -- both the applicant and staff contacted ACHD
about incorporating the ACHD retention ponds. Confirmation has been received from
ACHD that they, in fact, can be included as part of the development through a license
agreement. So, the applicant will have to work with both city and ACHD, execute a license
agreement, and those ponds can be landscaped, the aerators in there added as a water
amenity and add -- and included as part of their open space as per your request and so I
am proposing that we do modify DA provision number five to reflect that. I think that was
some of the concern that came from Council is -- well, what if ACHD does not allow it, do
they still meet the open space and the site amenity requirements. With that clarification
it looks like they still can, so now that we know they can incorporate it, we want to make
sure that they do incorporate it and I think tying in that r endering, as I suggested in DA
provision one, does that. And, then, on the last DA provision number six, what I wanted
to also share with the Council is the applicant actually did submit CAD drawings to our
Public Works Department. They actually modeled the proposed development with the
336 units and they did confirm that we do have adequate sewer and water capacity to
add the increase in residential units. Touching on one last item. Staff did deceive
additional written testimony on this particular project from a Nancy Szofran and she was
concerned with the number of residential units -- multi-family developments that are
occurring in this area, so she wanted to have -- urge you on caution on that and so with
that -- with the proposed changes that I am showing you this evening to the DA provision,
staff is still recommending approval and I will stand for any questions you may have.
Bird: Any questions for Bill? Is the applicant here? State your name and address, please,
Tamara.
Thompson: President Bird, Members of the City Council, my name is Tamara Thompson
with The Land Group, 462 East Shore Drive in Eagle. We feel we stubbed our toe a bit
back in July and we appreciate the opportunity to come back before you and provide a
more complete picture with more clarity regarding the project. We are here to request
approval of a new development agreement. The project -- I will briefly just touch -- Bill --
Bill talked about it. The project is 19.5 acres, zoned TN-C. The proposed development
consists of 336 units, which are three story apartments. In the TN-C zone apartments
are a principally permitted use. With me tonight is Greg Van Patten with Wolff
Companies. He will give you a brief overview of the Wolff Companies as soon as I am
complete and, then, Dane Knudsen with Katerra is the architect and he wants to present
to you some of the further refinement that they have gone through on the architectural
drawings. Jason Densmer from The Land Group is also here as well should you have
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 64 of 82
any technical engineering questions. There is a long and convoluted history of ownership
groups and proposed development plans in the South Ridge area and on this parcel. The
proposed project complies with the city Comprehensive Plan, the Ten Mile specific plan
and the TN-C zoning designation. The TN-C zone and the mixed use commercial
designations provide a wide range of uses with residential densities up to 40 units per
acre. What we are -- our proposal is 17.2 units per acre. The proposed project complies
and aligns with the Comprehensive Plan and the specific zoning designation. So, when
we were here before in July we talked -- you had some questions that we couldn't answer.
Some Bill has touched on here. So, the specific items you requested Public Works --
Bruce Freckleton, who is sitting in the audience, has confirmed that there is adequate
water and sewer capacity to serve the project. One of the items that was brought up that
Bill didn't mention is the schools and we did contact Joe Yocum , the assistant
superintendent with the West Ada School District. He's aware of this and other projects
in the area and has confirmed that the school district is actively planning for the growth .
There is a future Blue Valley School site that the site -- the land is currently owned by the
school district and it's a tenth of a mile to the east. There is a future Grove High School,
which is two and a half miles away at Ten Mile and Amity and the school district owns
that property as well and, then, there is the newly constructed Victory Middle School,
which was built in 2016, which is approximately three quarters of a mile away. So, he did
confirm that they are actively planning for the -- the growth in the area. And, lastly, was
traffic. ACHD has provided confirmation that the project does not require at traffic study
and Christy Little confirmed for us that given the preliminary information that she has that
there are no offsite traffic concerns. ACHD has confirmed that the ponds can be
landscaped and aerated and our intent is for the ponds to be amenities in the project.
And with that I will let Greg Van Patten give you an overview of the Wolff Companies.
Bird: State your name and address for the record.
Van Patten: Greg Van Patten with the Wolff Company. Seattle, Washington. Good
evening, Mr. President, Members of the Council. Again, my name is Greg Van Patten,
I'm with the Wolff Company. We are the applicant and I think admittedly probably could
have done a better job last time telling you a little bit about who we are and what our
company's history is. So, you can see on the slide right now we are a fully integrated real
estate development company. We are focused on multi-family and senior housing
communities. Have been around since 1949. Founded by Alvin Wolff in Spokane. So,
deep roots in Spokane. The company is now headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, but
we have regional offices in Spokane, Seattle, the southwest. Denver. Northern and
southern California, et cetera. So, it's a third generation family company started in 1949
and it's actually now led by four of the grandsons. So, they all kind of returned to the
family business and we are going strong. So, between 2000 and today we have invested
in more than 120 communities and 30,000 apartment units and you can see that the states
that we are active in. The eastern state's actually are more in the acquisition side. We
have really focused our development efforts on the western states that you see there.
And we are -- we have about 127 -- I think we are maybe closer to 130 strong in terms of
the head count in the firm. We actually also have some history here in the Treasure
Valley. We have been involved in I believe six properties over the years. Most recently,
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 65 of 82
actually, we have a senior housing community that we are doing in Eagle. It's about 150
units and we just started construction in June . So, we are -- we are excited to be there
and excited to be here in Meridian as well. So, I just thought I'd quickly show you some
images of some other kind of similar type of properties. This one is called Bailey Farm.
It's Bothell, Washington, which is a north Seattle suburb. Some photos of the clubhouse
there and the amenity spaces, as well as the residential buildings. Next is one in
Missoula, Montana, called Mullen Reserve and you can see, actually, some similar
aesthetics in the clubhouse on both of these to what we are proposing here in Meridian.
And, then, lastly, we have another one here in Santa Rosa, California, called Annadell.
That one is a slightly more contemporary aesthetic with the residential buildings, but some
similarities with the clubhouse as well. So, I think with that I will hand this off to Dane
Knudsen, who is our project architect, who will tell you just a little bit about some of the
highlights, the modifications that we are making to the design, so -- thank you.
Knudsen: All righty. Dane Knudsen with the Katerra Spokane. Located at 502 West
Riverside, Suite 200, Spokane, Washington. Mr. President and Members of the Council,
thanks for taking the time here. Yeah. First off I just wanted to express kind of where we
are at in the process here. We are working with Bill Parsons and -- and more or less the
regulations set forth by the City of Meridian architectural standards. So, with that we are
going to continue to develop these -- these images and these building elevations in
accordance with what we are required to do. So, these are our conceptual images, so
they -- they are a work in progress, but I thought I would take the time to at least show
some of the elements that we have been modifying in here. So, with the pointer here, if I
am able to. All righty. Go back one. Here we go. All right. Let's start mainly with the --
gosh, the ponds here. I mean that was, obviously, one of the big -- the big topics last time
and really what we are doing in terms of the pond landscaping. So, here really working
with The Land Group and our landscape architect on this one to provide a really attractive
pond setting here with grasses and aerators and fountains on all -- which were all a big
comment from last time. Here we are showing just some conceptual -- conceptual images
of some landscaping and split rail fencing around some of the ponds. So, these are,
obviously, big discussions that we have been having with the landscape architect and
ourselves on how we really design this site. So, working into the -- the residential
buildings, which was definitely a few of your guys' comments last time, kind of hear it loud
and clear, that we are -- we are taking more of a rustic approach in a sense here , really
taking a look at modulation and articulation within the buildings, really creating a sense of
the base element on these buildings, as well as providing a tectonic approach with really
kind of showing the -- the structure on these balconies and with that being said they are
larger balconies in accordance with the City of Meridian residential standards, so -- so,
these are a lot of the comments that we have been working through and modifying. So,
hopefully, they are more well received and, again, they are -- they are conceptual and we
will continue work on them. Let's go to the next one here. This is just a view, really, of
the site amenities giving a little bit better scale with kind of a building in the backdrop to
really show that this -- this central amenity node within -- within the project is really kind
of a hub and a lot of internet connecting walkways between the site for pedestrian
movement. So, that's an important piece, of course. And, then, here is -- as well as the
Overland aerial view showing kind of the ponds, which a lot of these other ones you're
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 66 of 82
not -- you can't really see this pond in the back and so, really, taking a look at all these
ponds and really landscaping them and providing, like I said, aeration and -- and fountains
in them. So, with that being said let's jump into the landscape plan. I just want to talk
briefly about a few of the site amenities that we are -- that we are proposing for this site.
One topic that was brought up last time was the fact of a tot lot and, actually, I think we
are showing a proposed location, more or less here closer to the clubhouse. There was
a few issues about ponds adjacency and whatnot, but we decided to move it a little bit
further away down -- kind of tucked back in this corner here and, then, we also have a
few covered barbecue areas and gazebos and whatnot for breakout spaces for the
residents and kind of intermittent nodes without the site -- throughout the site. We do
have a dog run area that we are -- that we are planning and there is a few things kind of
in question right now more or less on potential sand volleyball courts and Bocce. So,
obviously, all these things are conceptual or moving through that process right now, so -
- with that being said, I will leave -- I will leave that open and thank you very much for your
time.
Bird: Thank you.
Thompson: So, with that we will wrap up our presentation and we thank you again for the
opportunity to provide a more complete picture. We are requesting to be removed from
the previous development agreement and to have a new development on the property
and just to summarize, we comply with the comp plan, the Ten Mile specific plan, the TN-
C zoning, ACHD has conformed no traffic study is required. The ponds can be
landscaped and aerated. Public Works has confirmed water and sewer capacity. We
have reviewed the revised conditions of approval that Bill put up and we agree with staff's
analysis and those conditions as modified and we look forward to working with staff on
the CZC and the design review applications and we respectfully request your approval
tonight. Thank you.
Bird: Any questions for the applicant?
Milam: Mr. President?
Bird: Mrs. Milam.
Milam: Tamara, I do like the ponds. Are there -- I don't see any covered parking. Is here
no covered parking in this entire development or am I just missing it?
Thompson: Yes. Sorry. It doesn't pop really well, but, Council Woman Milam, it is --
Milam. Milam. An I sound. Is this not working? It's the darker color that you see on here.
Are you on the mouse or am I? You are. Okay. I was trying to move it. So, where the
parking stalls are there is the darker -- I'm sorry -- it's the lighter -- the lighter color parking
stalls is -- are covered.
Milam: I thought it seemed pretty odd, but --
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 67 of 82
Thompson: No. We do comply with the -- yeah, they just -- they don't pop as well as they
could.
Knudsen: Yeah. The darker -- the darker areas as shown here are covered garages and,
then, the lighter -- the actual lighter ones are covered carports.
Bird: Carports.
Thompson: Yeah. So, those are -- yeah. Those are actually garages.
Bird: Thank you. Any other questions?
Thompson: Thank you.
Bird: Okay. Thanks, Tamara. This is a public hearing. Do we have any sign-ups?
Coles: We did, Mr. President. We had one Adam Braden signed up against the project
wishing to testify.
Bird: Please state your name and address.
Braden: Yes. My name is Adam Braden. 1683 West Woodington. President Bird and
Council Members, I'm a member of the Southridge Subdivision and the first time I heard
about this apartment complex, as well as another complex going up on the northwest
corner of Overland and Linder, was at an HOA meeting on August 4th. As I'm the only
one from my neighborhood here, I thought I would kind of voice not only my concerns,
but the concerns of those that I spoke with as well. So, the applicant did mention
regarding schools that the school district is looking into it and I'm wondering if they have
looked into adequate fire, police, and emergency coverage for that area. Due to the
growth of Meridian in the past ten years it's nearly double and looking around Meridian
there is not a lot of apartment complexes. You know, this is -- this type of development
is something new to the City of Meridian and we have experienced such amazing growth
in the past ten years without throwing in massive subdivisions and such as this one and
some -- those are some of the concerns -- you know just the mass quantity of people in
this relatively small area, whereas the subdivision of Southridge, you know, they are
single family dwellings. We had a little more space, yards, and here we are -- we are
going to basically be adding twice the number of people in this area and so those are
some of the concerns that we had . Also some of my neighbors expressed concerns
regarding pricing -- you know, type of pricing for these, whether it's going to be lower
income or higher end income, as well as whether or not they would have sufficient
parking, because we didn't want people parking all long Spanish Fork Way or going into
American Fork Drive. Thank you.
Bird: Any questions? Thank you very much. No others? Is there anybody that would
like to testify? Tamara, do you want to have your last say? Restate your name and
address, please.

Knudsen: Dane Knudsen with Katerra, Spokane, Washington. 502 West Riverside, Suite
200. In -- I can definitely talk about the parking -- or, Mr. President, Members of the
Council, I can definitely touch on the parking requirements here. So, we -- we definitely
hit over our parking -- over the parking that is actually required for this site by at least --
by at least a few stalls there, so -- and the parking ratio -- and, Bill, I don't know if we can
-- if you're able to touch on that, as well as on the -- what we provided and the required
is. I know that we are matching -- we discussed this last time really about the worry about
overflow parking and into the -- the adjacent neighboring sites, so -- is that something
you're able to touch on as well, Bill?
Bird: Mr. Parsons?
Parsons: Mr. President, Members of the Council, I don't have the actual parking total for
you on this particular project, but what I can tell you its parking ratio is based on the
number of bedroom units. So, if you had a one bedroom unit, you provide one and a half
parking stalls per those units. If you have a two bedroom unit -- two and three bedroom
units require a minimum of two parking stalls and, then, half the site has to be covered
parking and, then, the clubhouse is subject to its own parking standards, because it's
considered a commercial structure, so it's one parking stall per every 500 gross floor area
of the building. So, there is going to have to be some substantial parking. But, again,
this is a concept plan. The applicant will have to go through that -- if the DA modification
is approved the applicant will have to go through the certificate of zoning compliance
process and they will have to at least meet the minimum requirements. I would mention
to Council that the last couple of hearings that the conditional use perm it that we took
before them, they -- they -- that body, they were very concerned with the amount of
parking we were getting with our multi-family standards, so they did impose a little bit
higher parking standard than what our bare minimum code requirement s are. So, just
FYI on that for -- for Council tonight.
Knudsen: One thing also to add if I could. The fact that we do have so much open space
that was one thing that was really highly sought after that as you can see on this site, our
density is lower than what we really are required, so we do have that opportunity to
increase that parking, if that is really something that is absolutely desired with the amount
of open space that we have provided, so --
Bird: Any questions? Tamara?
Thompson: Mr. President, Members of the Council, Tamara Thompson again. I just
wanted to touch on a couple other points. The price point -- this is not low income, this
will be market rates, so the market will dictate that. The -- there is an on site management
company that will -- hopefully has got parking and especially with the garages to make
sure that those garages are being used for parking and not for storage units. And as far
as emergency services, when we had our preapplication meeting with the Planning
Department, the Fire Department was there and they did not have any concerns that they
voiced, so with that I will stand for questions and --
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 69 of 82
Bird: Any questions?
Thompson: -- appreciate your time tonight.
Bird: Thank you.
Thompson: All right. Thank you.
Bird: Thank you, Tamara. Council, what's your pleasure?
Palmer: Mr. President? Just --
Bird: Mr. Palmer.
Palmer: -- to go into more detail to answer your question about fire and police with the
budget that we approved earlier in the meeting, we approved several new hires for the
police and we are building a fire station awfully close to this property that will have quite
-- quite a bit better coverage. I mean we got great coverage now, but it will -- it will be
there in seconds if needed.
Bird: Any other -- need to close the public hearing if it's --
Borton: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Borton.
Borton: Move that we close the public hearing on Item G, H-2017-0093.
Cavener: Second.
Bird: Got a motion to close the public hearing and a second. All in favor say aye. Public
hearing is closed.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Borton: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Borton.
Borton: I appreciate the second look, second chance, additional information on this
application. I would move that we approve Item G, H-2017-0093 to include staff and
applicant comments. In particular including the newest renderings as an exhibit as
requested by staff and the proposed development agreement provisions that are
displayed before us.
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 70 of 82
Cavener: Second.
Bird: Got a motion and a second. Any discussion?
Milam: Mr. President?
Bird: Mrs. Milam.
Milam: So, I appreciate the second chance as well and I love the ponds. They are actually
my favorite part of this design right now, but I like the original DA much better. This looks
like workforce housing to me from the sky view, so I'm not -- I'm not in favor of this project.
Bird: Any other discussion?
Cavener: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Cavener.
Cavener: Just a comment. I live over in this area and, you know, many times nobody
from the public will ever come and say put apartments here, apartment always make
sense here. Apartments always make sense someplace else. And when you look at the
thought put in from ACHD, with the space on that road and the connection to Ten Mile, I
think this is an appropriate use for this space. I somewhat do share Council Woman
Milam's concerns about the esthetics of the facility, but clearly in the examples that the
applicant has shown us they have been able to design something that appeals to a -- a
certain marketplace and I have no doubt, due to the sheer demand that we have for short-
term housing and apartments in this area, this will be a very successful development.
Bird: Any other discussion?
Palmer: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Palmer.
Palmer: The last rendering looked like Army barracks to me, but these look -- I think they
look awesome. I mean we have so many apartments like the ones just down the street
that all look exactly the same. Four story. Stairwell. That look identical. These look so
different that it's refreshing to me and all the articulation colors and different materials
used, I think they look great. But I'm just a millennial. We really don't know what we are
talking about.
Milam: Mr. President? Mr. President?
Bird: Mrs. Milam.
Meridian City Council

Milam: So, if this is -- it's probably going to pass without me, I would urge the applicant
to put in -- think of -- consider putting in two play structures. The swimming pool is great
for the summertime, but we have a lot of cold weather here and 336 homes, one little plat
structure, you know, and if you have got kids and most of those -- I don't think that's really
sufficient as an amenity for that many kids. We have 80 homes in my subdivision and we
have got, you know, a play structure, so -- thank you.
Bird: Mr. Clerk, would you call roll.
Roll call: Bird, yea; Borton, yea; Milam, nay; Cavener, yea; Palmer, yea; Little Roberts,
yea.
MOTION CARRIED: FIVE AYES. ONE NAY.
H. Public Hearing for 2 1/2 Street Townhomes (H-2017-0066) by
Broadbent Properties Located South of E. Franklin on the
West Side of 2 1/2 Street
1. Request: Rezone of 3.07 Acres of Land from the C-C and R-
15 Zoning District to the O-T Zoning District
2. Request: Preliminary Plat Approval Consisting of Fifty-One
(51) Residential Lots and Seven (7) Common Lots on 2.571
Acres of Land in the Proposed O-T Zoning District
Bird: Next item. Item H, H-2017-0066. I will open the public hearing and have staff
comment. Is that you, Josh? Okay.
Beach: Mr. President, Members of the Council, as you said, this is the 2 1/2 Street
townhome project. It's an application for a rezone and for a preliminary plat. This site
consists of approximately 3.07 acres of land. It's currently zoned both C-C and R-15,
located south of East Fairview Avenue on the west side of 2 1/2 Street. Not much history
on this property. There is some existing single family homes there. Some have been
demolished, some that are existing and will be -- will be removed from the property. The
applicant has applied to rezone the property from both C-C and R-15 to the -- to Meridian's
Old Town zoning district. The proposed plat, as proposed by the applicant, currently
consists of 50 building lots and seven common lots on approximately 2.571 acres of land
in the Old Town zoning district. The gross density for the subdivision is 18.28 dwelling
units per acre, with a net density of 25.36 dwelling units per acre and an average lot size
of 1,055 square feet and the access is proposed for the site via two access points, both
from 2 1/2 Street. The applicant is proposing private streets throughout the development.
The applicant is proposing to develop this project in two phases. The layout of the
phasing plan depends on availability of utilities for the project. Part of the concern -- and
the reason this was continued once at the Planning and Zoning Commission was to
discuss parking for the project, understanding that this is downtown. It's in our Old Town
zoning district -- or will be upon hypothetical approval this evening. So, the idea is to
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 72 of 82
have somewhat walkable, bikeable area downtown. The Planning and Zoning
Commission recommended that they add some additional parking there. There were nine
stalls originally proposed, in addition to the two stalls that will be in the garages. They
are not proposing driveways or two stalls on a driveway as we typically get with single
family homes, but they have provided 20 parking stalls on site to accommodate any
overflow or visitor parking. The landscape plan submitted with the application for the area
proposed to be platted -- landscaping for this project is not required. However, the
applicant has provided approximately .71 of an acre in qualified open spaces. This area
includes the MEW lot and an area with a tot lot and internal pathways. You can see the
tot lot down here in the bottom right corner. The applicant was -- staff requested the
applicant beef up the amenities a little bit to provide some sort of an amenity for the
development and they were willing to do that . Moving on to the landscape plan. As you
can see, the landscape plan -- they have provided quite a bit of landscaping internal, as
well as around the -- the tot lot there on the plan to the right there. These are the proposed
elevations. Building -- has submitted some conceptual sample of building elevations for
future homes within the development. Building materials consists of board and batten,
asphalt shingles and fiber cement siding. A certificate of zoning compliance and design
review application are required to be submitted for this application prior to building permits
being obtained. Commission did recommend approval of the project. A summary of
Commission public hearing. The applicant, Mr. Belcherr was in favor. Commenting were
Michael B. Morrison and William Gardoski. Written testimony was received by Dan
Basalone. I was the staff presenting the application. Mr. Bill Parsons also commented
on the application. Key issues of public testimony were the lack of parking and increased
traffic through downtown. Key issues a discussion by the Commission were, again,
parking and the density. Commission did not make any changes to staff's
recommendation and there were no outstanding issues for City Council to review. There
were no additional -- no additional testimony was received after the Planning and Zoning
Commission meeting. With that I will stand for any questions you have.
Bird: Council, any questions for Josh at this time? Okay. Is the applicant here? Please
state your name and address.
Truax: President Bird, Council, Bill Truax. 2832 South Portside, Boise, Idaho. 83706.
Appreciate your time tonight hearing this. This project I believe is a -- one of the game
changing sorts of deals that I like to work on. The development after some consideration
and discussion with staff has been modified. I think parking was one of the initial concerns
that we had when we were designing it, though I think I placed less emphasis on the
parking than some of the individuals that reside in the area. So, you know, after
discussion in public hearing we came back and reinterpreted the plan to address those
concerns. I, when approaching this project, think about what it would be like to live there.
I think about what it would be like to live in the neighborhood and I think about what that
neighborhood should be like, you know, years from now, not just today, tomorrow when
we are -- when we are done developing the project and livability is a huge thing . I'd like
to work every day -- every day I can, except when I'm driving out to Meridian, but we are
-- we are part of the culture that -- that buys this type of product and that's why I love
developing this type of product. I am not a huge fan of big parking lots. We put them in
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 73 of 82
-- developed many, many apartment projects, put down a lot of asphalt over time , and it
doesn't get utilized and what I think that we are looking for specifically is places that have
locational amenities, something that may not appear to be that fantastic when you 're
looking at it, but that over time is and I think will develop into that and I think that's what
Old Town really needs. It needs people, of which I hope I am a small minority -- hopefully
you get better people than me, but I think you need people like that. We are not asking
for a huge swath of the demographic of Meridian to all of a sudden become buyers into
this community, we are looking for 50 families, whether they are small families or whether
they are couples or whether they are folks in aging and downsizing who are looking to be
part of a vibrant community that has some walkable community space. It's not a huge
segment of the population, but I think will make a fantastic addition to the economic
viability of every shop downtown in Old Town. There is a lot of stuff on Eagle. I'm not
going to do those projects. I have looked at them, they are fantastic for someone else.
For me I like the downtown core. They are a little harrier, they are a little dirtier, the site
has a lot of history and people have tried to do it, it was not done. We hope that this time
around it is done and I think that what we are promoting is walkable , bikable, you know,
it's less than a half mile to the elementary school. That's awesome. Cole Valley Christian
is right down the street, if you're in that school. Middle school. Not far away. Boys and
Girls Club. Close by. I mean you don't really think of those as amenities unless you have
to work and, then, you have to drop your kids off or you have to go to soccer, it gets crazy.
So, those are the kinds of things that we are looking for when we are designing this
community. Two extra parking stalls, don't need them. The street parking I'm sure will
be mentioned after I talk. If street parking is going to become a problem -- look at the
downtown, the north end area in Boise. Some of the most expensive real estate in the
valley and Seattle, Portland, it's all the same. People want to be a part of those
communities and I think with the downtown plan that Meridian has I think it can get there,
but I think you need people living downtown, spending money downtown. When the
winter is cold and dark you are making the trip that's the shortest possible distance
downtown. That's where you're going to spend your money and I think that's what -- I
believe that is part of the ingredient that the Council is looking for and the planners from
the city were looking when they were setting up that master plan, that -- with that I guess
I will stand for any questions Council may have.
Bird: Questions for the applicant?
Truax: Thank you.
Bird: This is a public hearing. Was there anybody that would like to testify?
Coles: Mr. President, we -- we did have one individual sign up in favor -- or, excuse me,
wishing to testify against the project. Michael Morrison signed up against wishing to
testify.
Bird: Please state your name and address for us.
Meridian City Council

Morrison: Michael B. Morrison. 3405 North Curt Drive, Meridian, Idaho. And, yes, I'm
still against the project. I gave him my business card, told him to call if they had any
questions, if they would like me to look at it. Offered my input. I received as many phone
calls as I have great grandkids. Zero. If this is such a great project, why not flip it 180
degrees, dump everything out onto Main Street with no access to 2 1/2? We already
have traffic issues. As of 20 minutes to 6:00 -- there is no parking on that side of the
street -- on 2 1/2 Street. The tenants that I have on 2 1/2 Street already have parking
issues without this complex going on. If it's so great, flip it 180. Dump it onto Main Street.
That's where their access is. That's where the people want to buy -- buy things and go
and walk to. Give them Main Street, not 2 1/2 Street. I thank you much for your time.
Questions?
Bird: Any questions? Thank you.
Coles: Eileen Gardoski signed up against, not wishing to testify. And that was all the
signups.
Bird: Is there anybody else that would like to testify? Seeing none, applicant, would you
like -- oh, I'm sorry. Come on up.
Gardoski: President and Council Members --
Bird: Your name and --
Gardoski: -- I don't speak well.
Bird: Your name and address, please.
Gardoski: Thank you. My name is Eileen Gardoski. I did say that I was against it and I
was not going to speak. My husband usually does the speaking for me. At 9:47 I ran
home -- I drove home. There are four cars illegally parked in the area that there is no
cars ever supposed to be parked and we deal with this every day. I am very happy that
we have Cole Valley Christian School. I'm so appreciative -- I -- I have lived here over 25
years on 2 1/2 Street. I love this street. Yes, there should be some improvements, but
you just don't understand living on that street, those kids even now are walking out on the
road, because cars park there and even Ada county dispatch can't do anything about it.
Hopefully, if they do continue to build they are going to do something to secure the safety
of our kids and slow down the traffic. Right now we have lots of -- lots and lots of traffic.
We have lots of apartment complexes and there is a lot of traffic on that street . So, I
apologize that I am not a good speaker, but this is coming from my heart and any of you
are welcome to come to my house for free coffee or water any morning or evening of the
day and see what we live with every night. Thank you.
Bird: Thank you. Any questions?
Cavener: Mr. President?
Meridian City Council

Page 75 of 82
Bird: Mrs. --
Cavener: Mrs. Gardoski, could I ask you a question?
Gardoski: I apologize. Yes.
Cavener: Okay. I'm curious. I appreciate you sharing the concerns about parking. In
your mind who are these offenders? Is it just other people that own homes along 2 1/2
Street?
Gardoski: They are actually renters that live there and there are signs that point both
ways and when I spoke to Ada -- I spoke to the police department here. I spoke to Ada
county. They didn't go out and check and, then, they said, well, there might be a problem
because maybe one of the signs isn't there anymore, but you got -- there are eight signs
on that road. Just right in the middle there happens to not be a sign. But there was a --
a bicycle pedestrian walkway made like three years ago to kind of help the children
through safety. It's not being observed.
Cavener: Thank you.
Gardoski: And you can -- on your way home or where -- I just drive by there you can see
for yourself. I don't like to be a complainer, but I don't feel it should be my job to call Ada
county dispatcher each day to say you don't -- the kids need to have a safe place now.
And there is lots of motorcycles that race. There is a lot of activity on 2 1/2 Street, so
thank you.
Bird: Thank you.
Cavener: Thank you.
Bird: Any other questions?
Milam: Mr. President?
Bird: Mrs. Milam.
Milam: Lieutenant Caldwell, do you think we can get some patrol over there, check it out?
Caldwell: Mr. President, Council Woman Milam, yes.
Milam: Thank you.
Bird: Anybody else that would like to testify? Applicant, would you like to come have the
final say?
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 76 of 82
Truax: Yes. Just two quick points of clarification. After the last -- I believe it's the last
P&Z hearing -- no, it was the time before. We made a commitment to include a provision
in our CC&Rs that the garages are primarily to be used for storage of the vehicles; right?
So, that those -- those are actual car storages. The cars aren't -- aren't being used up
and down -- they are not being parked up and down the street. There are some guest
parking stalls that we added, increasing the overall number on the site and as Dan
Basalone from MDC will -- also testified he lives in an area -- he lives in -- I believe it's
The Orchards, it's a townhome development. It's 94 units. It's got very minimal numbers
of parking stalls for guest parking. They don't have it -- they do have that CC&R provision
in their documents and it is going to require an HOA to manage it, you know, if they don't
manage it it's going to be tough. But if it is in the CC&Rs it is something that can be
enforced. On the issue of the connectivity, that is something that is specifically important
to us and we have worked already with a couple of the neighbors l ooking at the possibility
of extending the sidewalk from the south end of the property line down to connect to Cole
Valley Christian. As it is where it would terminate now is at the Rite-Aid. That Rite-Aid is
a very interesting spot, because there is not a lot that we can do. It's providing dock
access to the back of a building, so unless Rite-Aid is gone, it's going to be tough for us
to do anything on that side, though, I think we can stripe it and do what we can to make
sure it's safe there. On the south end, though, we are looking at extending the sidewalk
to connect to Cole Valley Christian. We don't know yet what the cost of that is, but we
have gotten some support from the neighbors to do that . You know, I think it increases
the marketability of our product. I think it increases the safety of the neighborhood and I
think provides some -- some very specific and distinct boundaries for car versus
pedestrian that I think will improve the overall flow that are some of the issues that are --
that are spoken about. So, that's all.
Bird: Any questions?
Cavener: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Cavener.
Cavener: Just for clarification, then, you're supportive of -- along with your project --
creating some safe access for the -- essentially people that are going to live in your
development to being able to -- I guess I recognize that Cole Valley is right there. I guess
for me -- my big concern is those elementary students that are going to be leaving your
development going to Meridian Elementary. Cole Valley is a high school. It's a private
school. You have got a high amount of -- of vehicles that are driving there, but getting
access for young ones to be able to get from -- from where they are living to that school
has got to be a top priority and it sounds like that that is a top priority for you as well.
Truax: Yeah. Absolutely. I mean we can't -- we can't govern the areas outside of, you
know, what's an ACHD right of way. However, we are planning for pedestrian and bike
conduits through the property and hopefully -- you know, so that they are able to cut
across, instead of having to go all the way down to Col e Valley and over to Main, you

know, cut through. I don't think it's going to be nuisance traffic, it's going to be folks that
are flowing through ultimately using those amenities. But pedestrian is a big thing.
Bird: Any other questions? Thank you.
Truax: Thank you.
Bird: What's your pleasure, Council? Need any more information or --
Cavener: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Cavener.
Cavener: I move that we close the public hearing on Item 8 -H, H-2017-0066.
Palmer: Second.
Bird: Got a motion to close the public hearing on H-2017-0066 and a second. Any
discussion? Hearing none, all in favor say aye. Any opposed? Okay. Thank you.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Cavener: Mr. President?
Bird: Mr. Cavener.
Cavener: The applicant spoke to this and this is -- this area has been a unique part of
Meridian as long as I can remember. I appreciated hearing from Mrs. Gardoski about
some of the challenges in that area. As a youth I was employed by some of those
landlords who rented those homes and I mowed their lawns and so I'm distinctly aware
of some of the parking challenges, because as a youth to try and unload my lawnmower,
even 15 years ago was a challenge . The hope is is that with a -- with a project like this
that would encourage some change in use of that area and I, for one, am supportive of -
- of the project. So, with that, Mr. President, I move that we approve Item 8-H, H-2017-
0066 and include all staff and applicant and public testimony and just appreciation to the
applicant -- I appreciate you speaking specifically about safe access for the people that
are going to be living in that area and will continue to see some growth as hopefully our
downtown begins to come back alive and I think a project like this can be a catalyst for
that, but ensuring that as we become more alive that it's safe for people to get to and from
where they want to go.
Palmer: Second.
Bird: Okay. We got a motion and a second. Any discussion? Hearing none, Mr. Clerk.

Item 9: Department Reports
A. Finance Department: Consolidated Fee Schedule Update
Bird: Thank you. Department Reports. Finance Department. Consolidated fee schedule
update. We let you come early and, then, made you stay.
Cunningham: I know.
Bird: Wasn't fair.
Cunningham: That's the way it is.
Cavener: Blame Todd.
Cunningham: Okay. I think that we are bringing up the presentation. So, I will go ahead
and get started. Hopefully I can make this pretty quick. So, I'm here to give you an update
where we are at on the consolidated fee schedule and first I was going to give just a little
bit of history. Let's see. The arrows? There we go. I was going to give you a quick
history. The finance goal. How we created this one schedule, what we found and, then,
a summary. First off, there was 98 adopted fee schedules in the last 15 years and that's
without including the recreation guides. Fifty-seven of them still have active fees on them.
There is 749 fees. Our goal for this first year -- this first go around was to actually create
a consolidated fee schedule to take those 57 and create one. Then with that we wanted
to let you know that you're still going to see fee schedules come throughout the year from
the departments. They will initiate them, bring them forward, such as the impact fees,
assessments, water, sewer, trash. Then September will be here every year to consolidate
them back into one fee schedule, so we don't end up 15 years down the road with another
57 schedules. So, our first goal was to establish -- we looked at establishing a schedule
and this is actually some ideas for the future. So, this first year was just to create the one
schedule. Kind of do some clean up. In the future we kind of want -- we want to put the
fees on a schedule. Look at whether we have valid fees. Should there be an increase.
A decrease. Should we look at increasing some of our fees a small percentage each year
based on the budget. Does it need a full cost review. Because I don't think every fee
needs looked at every single year, so maybe we come up with some kind of a schedule,
identify those fees that need to be and those fees that need maybe a three, four. This is
just ideas. And also Finance would be that repository for all the fee history, the
calculation, the methodology, who created it, why. We actually found throughout the
discussions with departments, you know, sometimes they didn't know where some of
these fees actually came from. So, what we did was Cortni Klucken, our accountant, she
actually took it and started forming meetings. We didn't get it until I think it was April 28th
Meridian City Council
August 22, 2017
Page 79 of 82
Todd came to us and said Mayor would like us to go ahead and consolidate into one
schedule. So, first we set up meetings with Legal Department, determine who is going to
facilitate and what Finance role will be and Legal's role will be. We agree to meet with all
the departments and make -- and actually ask them to go through their list of fees this
first year to determine what we -- what are active, what are still current. Luckily we had
-- Finance had a spreadsheet to start with, so Jenny had created one back in like 2009
and we tried to keep that up to date the best we could and so Cortni started with that,
edited it, and that is what has brought us to our list of fees. We found 130 of them that
could be omitted. Seventy-six were identified as obsolete. Should have dropped off years
ago. Weren't being charged. Fifty-four were identified as redundant. So, they were
repeated over and over in some of the other fees. Schedules within -- and maybe even
in some of the other departments. Twenty-four were identified by departments that need
some kind of an adjustment and, then, we had 15 that had some small title changes, just
more clarification, transparency. Of the -- of the ones that we need adjustments, the 24,
Com Dev has nine fees that they would like to decrease and they also have -- would like
to identify the multi-family category. There is two fee increases in Com Dev. Police have
two decreases, two fee increases. Parks has nine fee decreases. And the reason is is
we are going to take the sales tax out. So, they are all -- sales tax was included in the
fee and that's unlike any of our others. And, then, as you know, Republic Services was
already here. Their fee schedule also rolls into this and they will have one new fee and,
then, they are going to have the -- a CPI index increase. So, for Com Dev, the nine fee
decreases -- they actually happen to be the commercial application fee. So, it's almost
like they come in and they pay 500 as a deposit to start the application process and Bruce
would like to bring that down according to a threshold. So, if it's under 20,000 it will be
50 dollars. If it's over 20,000 it will be 150 dollars. What happens is sometimes it's just
a tenant improvement. They just want to move a wall. So, when they pay 500 dollars to
start the application, then, when they get done with the calculation it's maybe 350 dollars.
We have to refund the other 150. So, Bruce is hoping that it will reduce the refunds and
make more sense for some of the applications. We still will collect the same amount on
the total permit fee. Let's see. Then he has the prior to expiration. So, that the fee would
actually change also and go down to a flat rate of 50 dollars. We have two fee increases
for the Com Dev and the reason is is these are past -- what we call pass through fees.
So, we are already paying for like the fast track application, 110 dollars to our contracted
services, but we are only collecting a hundred dollars. So, we'd like to increase that to
110 to cover our cost. For the qualified licensed engineer review, the same thing. We
are paying 260 a sheet and we are charging 250. So, we'd like to increase that to 260.
For the Police Department, they have four increases -- four changes and they are all due
to labor. So, we actually have two that are going to go down, because staff is changing
and the labor has gone down . The labor cost. And, then, we have two personnel fees
that would actually go up and that's due to the increased wages in the police department.
The Parks Department. This is the nine fees that would decrease according to sales tax
rolled in and then -- that's if -- the proposal is to come back to actually publish our
consolidated schedule and Legal recommends -- we will actually publish the entire thing.
It will be ten pages. But we will publish all the fees and we will actually post what hasn't
changed, there is no change, and, then, we will show what it has increased or decreased
and, then, that's our starting point from this point going forward. We will publish for two
Meridian City Council

weeks, come back with a public hearing on the 12th, and, then, we would come with a
resolution for approval on the 19th. The changes effective 10/1. And with that I stand for
questions.
Bird: Any questions, Council?
Milam: Mr. President?
Bird: Mrs. Milam.
Milam: Rita, on that permit fee that was currently like up to 500 --
Cunningham: Yeah.
Milam: -- reducing all the way down to 150, does that really cover it all, Bruce, because
Rita made a comment that it was like, well, if it was only 350, then, we are refunding them
150, but now we are only charging 150 and so I'm just wondering if that is enough to cover
it.
Freckleton: Mr. President, Members of Council, Councilman Milam, the --
Bird: Name, please.
Freckleton: These application fees -- what did you say?
Bird: Your name, please.
Freckleton: My name, please? Bruce Freckleton. Community Development.
Bird: Thank you.
Freckleton: 33 East Broadway Avenue. Meridian, Idaho. The -- the application fees are
-- like Rita said -- they are kind of like a deposit. It gets applied towards the permit, so it's
not like an extra fee that's on top that the applicant is losing. Does that makes sense? I
don't know if that answers your question.
Milam: It does make sense. So, if -- so, there -- an application might be 500, the 150
goes towards that and they pay the extra 350 dollar difference? You're trying to make it
so low that we will never have to refund anybody, is that --
Freckleton: Well, that's one of the intents of doing this. The -- the other reason for doing
this is that -- the last time we did fees was 2007, ten years ago, you know, so what we
are trying to do is we are trying to modernize our fees and bring them current to the way
we currently operate. Since 2007 we have got an Enterprise wide software solution that
has brought about huge efficiencies for our -- for our staff. The work effort on that front

end is not as heavy as it once was and so it really has brought our labor down on the front
end of those applications, so --
Milam: Okay. Thanks.
Freckleton: Okay.
Bird: Any other questions? Okay. Thank you, Rita. And we look forward to the schedule
so that we can have it ready in place for October 1st; right?
Cunningham: Okay. We will be posting it and bringing it forward. Thank you very much.
Item 10: Future Meeting Topics
Bird: Thank you. Thanks for sticking around . Council, before we adjourn I got some
upcoming events. This is the last movie for CableOne Movie Night and it's Lego Batman.
I don't know what a Lego is. Backpack giveaway is Saturday between 10:00 and noon
and this is an organization that -- and with Mayor Tammy is going to be giving away a
bunch of back -- backpacks for school children between 10:00 and noon here at the
Farmers Youth Market. Of course Concerts on Broadway. Jeffrey Castle and his Celtic
Band is here Saturday night at 7:00. Opening act at 6:30 p.m. And I don't know who that
is. MYAC kick off is Monday, August 28th, at City Hall at 5:45. So, if you know any young
people that would like to belong, send them down. And Meridian Mondays from Deja
Brew is August 28th at 6:00 p.m. and I think this is the one you walk in, isn't it, every --
what? I thought you was staying in shape. Anyway, that's the upcoming events. Council,
thank you for tonight.
Milam: Mr. President?
Bird: Mrs. Milam.
Milam: I do have a possible future meeting topic. I would like for -- at some point for us
to discuss the process for our elections for City Council Members. Currently you apply
-- you sign up for a specific seat and, then, elections and I personally think that we would
get better candidates and -- well, maybe elect the better of the candidates if it was -- if it
was open and we take the top three candidates. That's not for discussion right now,
but --
Bird: That's for discussion --
Milam: If we even have a discussion.
Bird: We can certainly have one. I don't -- we would have to do a lot of changing with
our ordnance and stuff and -- I do have some thoughts on that, not that I would ever run
again, but -- anyway.
Meridian City Council

Bird: We can -- we can certainly -- I will -- Mr. Nary, help me remember that, so we can
get it on a future topic. I think it's a good topic. With that I would entertain a motion to
adjourn.
Borton: So moved.
Milam: Second.
Bird: All in favor?
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Bird: Thank you, guys.

Item #8G: Linder and Overland Apartments – (H-2017-0093)
Application(s): Development agreement modification
Property location, size and zoning: South side of W. Overland Road, west of S. Linder Road; consist of 19.50 acres; zoned TN-C.
History:
In 2008, a Conditional Use Permit and a development agreement modification were approved to develop an assisted living facility
and church. The amended DA replaced the original DA approved with the annexation of the property.
In 2012, another development agreement modification was approved by the City that replaced the DA approved with MDA
approved in 2008. The site is currently allowed to develop with 250 units consistent with the approved concept plan.
Summary of Request: The applicant has submitted a DA mod to develop a 336-unit multi-family development consisting of 14 three-
story apartment buildings and a 9,000 square foot clubhouse/community building, all to develop in a single phase.
The City Council continued this item from the July 25th hearing so the applicant could provide additional information for the following:
1. Aesthetics of the development. Since the previous hearing the applicant has further refined the site and building elevations for
Council’s consideration. Specifically, the applicant has produced supplemental renderings of the complex and incorporated variation in
siding materials and modulation in the roofline. Further, refinement will be necessary to ensure the site and building designs comport
with the structure and site design standards set forth in UDC 11-3A-19 and the design guidelines contained in the Architectural
Standards Manual (ASM) and the open space and site amenities set forth UDC 11-3G and UDC 11-4-3-27. Note: Since this is a DA
modification Council has the discretion to keep the previous approvals in place as noted in Bullet #2 above. If the DA
modification is approved the underlying zoning of the property (TN-C) only requires the applicant to receive CZC and DES
approval.
2. Incorporating the ACHD retention ponds as required open space for the proposed development. Both staff and the applicant
contacted ACHD. They have confirmed that the applicant can improve the ponds as recommended by staff with the execution of a
license agreement with ACHD. It is the intent of the applicant to landscape the ponds as depicted in the new renderings provided to
Council.
3. Sewer and Water Capacity for the proposed development. The applicant sent over the required plans for the Public Works
Department to model. Public Works has confirmed there is adequate sewer and water capacity to accommodate the additional 86 u nits.
Staff recommends approval of the development agreement modification with recommended provisions attached in Exhibit A.6 of the
staff report and with the following revisions: modify provision 1 to include the new renderings in the DA; strike-through coordinate with
ACHD in provision 5; and eliminate provision 6 altogether.
Outstanding Issue(s) for City Council: None
Written Testimony: Tamara Thompson, in agreement with the recommended DA provisions in the staff report. Nancy Szofran, in
opposition.

“Interim improvement”
“Although recommended in the TIS, construction of a single lane
roundabout at the Eagle Road/Taconic Drive intersection would
be an interim improvement.With the future widening of Eagle
Road to 5-lanes a multi-lane roundabout will be necessary. In lieu
of constructing the single lane roundabout when warranted, ACHD is working with the
developer of the Hills Century Farm development, Brighton Corporation, on the
possibility of entering into a cooperative development agreement which would
provide for the design and construction of a multi-lane roundabout at the Eagle
Road/Taconic Drive intersection.”

result in unacceptable delays to the collector/arterial
–High pedestrian activity including special needs pedestrians
–Where there is inadequate sight distance
–Where there is a large volume of bicycle traffic

“…it takes a loaded truck with properly adjusted
brakes 450 feet to come to a complete stop
when traveling 55 mph on a dry road.”
Source: Idaho Drivers Manual, Idaho
Transportation Department, 2017
ADDENDUM H: Safe Stopping Distances
•About 90% of driving choices are based on what
you see. At night, your vision is reduced. To make
sure you have time to react to danger, always
drive slowly enough so you can stop within the
distance you can see ahead. This distance is
about 350 feet when using the high beams of
your headlights, and about 100 feet when using
the low beams.
•Source: Idaho Drivers Manual, Idaho
Transportation Department. 2017.
ADDENDUM I: Safe Stopping Distance
“Perception time is the three-quarters of a second it takes for you to realize that you need to brake. Reaction time is
the three-quarters of a second it takes for you to move your foot to the brake pedal.”
“When you combine perception time and reaction time, a full 132 feet will pass before your
car even begins to slow down from 60 mph . So from the time you perceive a braking
situation until the time your car comes to a complete stop, a total of 4.6 seconds elapses.
That’s almost the length of a football field.”
“There are other factors, as well, such as road conditions. When weather is bad, your braking distance
grows exponentially…. On wet pavement, stopping distance shoots up from 271 feet to 333 feet….”
“And it gets worse. In snowy conditions, total stopping time jumps to 10.6 seconds and 533
feet. A 100 percent increase.”
Source: “Keep your braking distance: More than just slowing down,” Driving Tips, Edmunds.com
ADDENDUM J: Safe Stopping Distances
•“If you drive a four-wheeler, you’re not immune to the law of physics. In fact,
you’re a bit more susceptible…. In fact, the heavier weight of a SUV or truck
means it will take much longer to come to a stop, given its greater momentum.”
Source: “Keep your braking distance: More than just slowing down,” Driving Tips,
Edmunds.com
ADDENDUM K: Safe Stopping Distances
Numerous factors increase stopping distance:
•Wet or wintry conditions
•Construction vehicles
•4-wheel drive or AWD vehicles
•Slower response times as we age
•Inexperienced teen drivers
•Untreated streets during winter weather-
including Taconic
•Drivers unfamiliar with the roads

•Fee changes will initiate by Depts thru out the year,
such as Impact Fee updates, Assessment updates,
Water/Sewer/Trash, etc.
•September they will be consolidated into the CityWide
Schedule
Finance Goal
Future Goal/Ideas:
•Establish an schedule for review of fees
–Is it still a valid fee
–Has the cost increased or decreased
–Should it increase each year a small percentage based on budget
–Does it need a full cost review/update
•Repository for fee history
–Calculations/methodology
–Who created, why
To Create One CityWide Schedule
•Cortni Klucken, Accountant, first met with Emily and
Andrea in Legal.
•They agreed upon a plan to meet with every department
to review their fee list this first year to determine what
fees are active fees.
•Finance already had a spreadsheet of all city fees that
Jenny Fields created years ago.
•Cortni edited the Finance list of fees to become our
CityWide Schedule.
