Agenda Cherry Lane Golf Course:
1
Mr. Leavitt of Nu-Pacific was present. He stated that the Golf Course is coming
along, other than a few bare spots that need reseeding. The time to play it will
be the spring of the year. From his standpoint he has learned that the City is now
considering leasing the Golf Course and there are no objections to that concept.
They are prepared at any time to deed the property over to the City.
The original agreement was to take the greens through two cuttings. The first
cutting will take place tomorrow, they need to be rolled and cut. The gentleman
working on the course will stay on through the 15th of September. They convinced him
they need him for another week. The gentlemen he met with are prepared to take over
the maintenance of the Golf Course at that time. They have made arrangements
with Jim Fuller to bring temporary water in from the Baxter property with surface pipe.
Deeding the Course over is no problem, the Title Company is preparing a deed. They
would like to stay with the Course through the rest of this month. The new golf Pro,
Rich Stanwood is familiar with greens, the mowing and cutting - which is all that
has to be done now.
Mayor Storey stated that the greens are coming along, but is unhappy with the Fairways.
The Meridian Park that was seeded after this was seeded has a solid mat of grass.
Leavitt stated that he had asked Jim Fuller about it because it was his land and
he stated that he had the same problem with it when he put in his lawn. You
cannot kill off the weeds now because you would kill the grass, it is too early.
They are going to be here and put in the second nine, the program for the whole
Cherry Lane Subdivision looks very positive. If there are problems down the line
they are not going to walk away from them, they will cooperate with the City or
whoever is leasing it. Mr Leavitt felt that the lessor's have a responsibility
in that respect to make sure it is up to par. If there are problems with the
fairways later we will help in any way we can.
Maintenance of greens was discussed.
Mayor Storey stated that his concern is if the group does not get its funding .then
the City has quite a responsibility out there. Rather than say let's get ahead
with it, the City is not in that position right now.
Leavitt stated that they could wait another month or so. The Golf Course is going
to be a Municipal Golf Course under original agreement with the City. They talked
about taking the Course through the second cutting.
Mayor Storey stated six cuttings on the Fairway.
Leavitt stated that there has to be a time where we step out of the picture and
someone else will have to take care of the Course. If their man leaves the 15th
or 20th it still will necessitate someone locally here maintaining the Golf Course.
If a matter of cost is involved and it would take a 30 days extension, there is no
problem with that.
Storey stated that the man out there told him he did not have time to get everything
done that is needed out there.
Leavitt stated that there is a problem with getting labor. He asked Wally Lovan
if the people are prepared to take over the maintenance of the Course.
Meridian City Council .2. September 5 978
Agenda
1 Wally Lovan answered that they were and Stanwood is planning on going out now to
become familiar with the sprinkling system. He is in favor of him as the pro,
regardless of who takes over.
Leavitt suggested that they assume when Balducci's man leaves that Lovan and his
group will be ready to take over the maintenance. If not, they will maintain it
through Stanwood for another month.
The Mayor felt it was agreeable.
Mr. Leavitt inquired if the Council had reviewed the agreement. A copy was sent
to Fitzgerald.
Colleen Eggert explained it was a two page memo. It was discussed and concluded
that only Fitzgerald has seen it.
Storey stated several things have to be taken care of before anyone takes over the Course
Leavitt stated that they would meet with the Council on Sept. 18, 1978 or Oct. 2, 1978.
Eggert suggested that the City review the agreement by the Sept. 18, 1978 meeting
and comment with questions before the Oct. 2, 1978 meeting.
Storey concurred.
Leavitt felt that it would be proper for his company to make a donation for tree
planting and for the record they will contribute to the Golf Course $5,000 for tree
planting.
Types of trees were discussed.
Storey inquired why the pumps and power panels were not enclosed.
Leavitt stated that he also saw it today for the first time and they will have it
enclosed.
Storey inquired if they were pulling out of there and going into Glenn Field Manor.
Leavitt stated that it was not true.
Eggert stated that they slowed down the contractor because they had 143 lots there
and moved them over to Glenn Field, but he is moving back to finish those 65 lots
in Cherry Lane #2.
Eugene Wright stated that there will be only two weeks separating Glenn Field and
Cherry Lane #2 finish dates.
Storey inquired when the second Nine holes would be completed.
Leavitt stated that they had hoped to start construction of the second 200 lots
next spring then they would start the third phase in 1980. At that time they would
build the second Nine. In the original agreement he was specific in stating they
would not in any way guarantee the second Nine, but according to their own historical
background they are not going to drop the project.Practically speaking, 1980 would
be the time, or the Fall of 1979. His opinion is that very good people are interested
in it, they are getting good publicity and the latest they would be in there is 1980
for the second Nine. If the project is expedited then they will build it next year.
They have Four (4) Greens that are close to houses and they would like to see trees
around.
Planting of trees was discussed.
Leavitt next referred to a letter sent to the City concerning a late-comers charge.
They have made a large monetary commitment to this area and proven they are sincere.
They said they would build a Golf Course and did it - and a first rate development
which they are doing. They wrote to all about the off-site cost of this development.
They pointed out that it is not uncommon for there to be a late-comers charge in
many municipalities for utility. charges over and above the needs of the particular
development. -In many instances the municipality just reimburses the developer for
that money. They have not proposed the City reimburse them for anything but they
have proposed to the City that there be an ordinance inacted that a late-comers
charge be placed against any lands that eve~ually use that facility. When they
connect to the sewer or water, they pay a pro-rated share.

(cont'd)Cherry Lane Golf Course:
Agenda
1 Mr. Leavitt continued by stating that they now control enough land to create
approximately 2300 single family lots, 2000 in the direct Cherry Lane Village area
and are still pursuing other lands in the area. Eventually we hope to control
enough land to create 3000 single family lots. The late-comers charge will hit
them on these other parcels of land just as much as the next person down the road.
They are not in any way suggesting anything that is going to put a burden on
anyone else any different than they themselves have assumed. It isn't fair for
a developer to pay for services for another developer in relation to oversizing.
Leavitt read the letter sent to the City on their development costs.
Williams stated that the letter was received but the sample ordinances were not
received.
Eggert stated that Eugene Wright could explain the Boise program.
Williams stated that our attorneys pointed out on the Water Sewer Revenue Bonds
that we have. There are some problems that are unique to Meridian in the way that
the bonds we have are written, the money the City takes in has to go for the bonds.
Storey stated that this should not effect this situation and there still can be a
late-comers charge. We had a simular experience when the High School ran it's
line. There was one development that has gone in since then and they paid a late
comers charge but worked them out between themselves and did not come to the City.
It is an expense of time for the City. The Mayor agreed with Leavitt in one way.
It is not right for anyone to go in and lay someone else's lines for them however
you do not have to lay the line.
Leavitt stated that what this causes is an inflated value to the lot and house.
Someone has already hooked into the line they installed. All he is saying is that
it is their intent to hold the price of lots and homes down and get into a more
economical position so the average family can afford a house. Bureaucracy and
stagnant rules of growth cause the burden to go on the developer and the developer
does not eat it he passes it on to the builder who passes it on to the consumer.
There is the constant growth of inflation. He suggested if there is late-comers
and we can hold construction cost down, we can turn a lot over to a builder at a
more reasonable rate. There is nothing wrong with late-comers charges. It is
beneficial to everyone concerned.
Further discussion followed concerning charges.
One other item for Council consideration is certain variances on front yard setbacks
on a case by case basis. Some of the lots are awfully close to the greens and if
you can give a person a little more room by moving their houses closer to the road
so that they have a bigger back yard, it does not confine everything. Arguments
were presented and routing was discussed.
Eggert stated that she had written the City a letter stating that they would hook
onto City facilities 60 days after they were available, at that point in time they
thought they had secured verbal easements from two property owners on separate
routes. Since that time they have run into a little resistance securing the proper
easements to take those lines through. They wanted to let the City know their
status and that they are having a little bit of difficulty, so if it comes to the
point where they need the City's help in order to secure an easement through
eminent domain or condemnation they could appeal to the City for help to work it out.
The only other alternative that they have is to install a permanent lift station
and according to Eugene Wright it is not the City's position to maintain a lift
station if it is avoidable.
Leavitt inquired as to when the new plant would be completed.
Ellsworth stated that the construction is running a month ahead of schedule.
Williams clarified the schedule is for the Treatment Plant. Ellsworth stated
that the sewer line completion date is November 23.
Leavitt discussed easements.
Storey stated the problem is that people do not understand that it increases the
value of their land. We have tried to make them aware of that. We had to go
around several properties. This matter was discuseed.
Leavitt stated that this concluded their agenda and they intend to be back at the next
Council meeting or the November 6th meeting.
Meridian City Council .4. September 5, 1978
Agenda
2 The minutes of the August 21, 1978 and August 28, 1978 were approved as read.
Agenda
3 The Meridian Comprehensive Plan
Art Collins, APA, was present to comment on the .proposed plan. He stated that on
Page 12 of the Comprehensive Plan, Population Growth, The present data source of
information on population is (1) 1976 special census (2) 1978 Housing Study of
Ada County. There is a third set of population data sources you may want to include
in the plan or a decision could be made to have one or less than three. APA has
recently put together a Demographic and Employment Distribution Study to the year
2000 by US PA and by traffic zones. The Study and Graph were explained (see evidence A)
Cities like to have a good data base for population projections. As it is now you
have two of them - 1976 Census and 1978 Housing Study. You could add this study or
delete the 1978 Housing Study and replace it with the one going to print to become
the standard data base for Ada County. This study was done after the process with
the Planning and Zoning it would be more accurate than the 1978 Housing Study.
Don Sharp stated that he didn't feel either one was very accurate.
Storey stated that the last study would tend to be more accurate it this point in time.
Projections were discussed.
Comprehensive Plan, page 25: Collins stated that in the housing section problem
#3 is outdated and could be deleted.
Comprehensive Plan, page 31: Collins stated the ACRD made some pretty strong
comments about the principal arterials and Fairview needs to be added. All we need
to do is put a slash after Cherry Lane/ and add Fairview Avenue. It was just left
out - we were thinking of the whole piece in the Urban Service Planning Area not
just Cherry Lane.
Art Collins stated that the City received a letter from the State Planning Office in
terms of the review of the Comprehensive Plan. He met with Cathy Gagers and
discussed the paragraphs. The intent was to make sure the plan. had a good legal
foundation in relation to the 1975 Land Use Planning Act. The one question she had
was on the Function of the Policy Diagram. In the 1975 Act there is a requirement
fora proposed land use map. She suggested to add a asterisk to the Policy Diagram,
Page 7, Comprehensive Plan on the title and put at the bottom "The Meridian
Policy Diagram is intended to meet the requirements of the 1975 Land Use Planning Act
regarding a proposed lane use map".
Collins further stated that
Gagers second point is that the document should include the current land use map,
when we first came to Meridian we did a land use survey of the City and surrounding
area, we will make sure that's in there. Direction is needed by the Council as to
how much of a current land use map that they want.
Williams suggested going to Urban Service Planning Area.
Collins thought that would be a correct move.
He stated that Chairwoman Linda Lund Davis called and gave some feed back from the
Commissioners ;to the Council and Mayor she passed on these items. The County Commissioners
are aware that there will be negotiation time for the area of impact. Kuna is near
completion and Meridian can be the next in line if they want to. The Commissioners
are concerned about the size of the impact area, particularly about the impact areas
inclusion of the South/West area. Primarily because of the drafts and planning going
on about the interim ordinances that will replace the South/West moritorium,
as well as the Comprehensive Plan which is slated to be done in the South/ West area.
Representing the Commissioners, she sees the Impact Area as a discussable item.
Storey stated that he had talked to Mayor Erdley and he led them to understand that
it was a matter of little importance as far as they were concerned. That area is
connected to our drainage and not the Boise drainage.
Collins stated that Meridian will be included in the interim ordinance review for
the South/West area and outlined the process. The other communication is that the
County policies as to the development of the rural areas are more restrictive than
f4eridians. He presented a handout (see evidence B)
This is a concern of the Commissioners and this will probably be part of the
discussion in the impact area negotiations.

(cont'd)The Meridian Comprehensive Plan
Agenda
3 Comprehensive Plan, Addendum Page 3; Collins stated that the Rural residential,
Agricultural, refference Page 24, Single Family Housing, Farming (Not less than 1 d. u.
per net 5 acres) is a change. There is a substanial difference in that and the
Ada County Comprehensive Plan (see evidence B 2.0 Growth Policy) Collins read.
(5.2 Meridian Area of Impact) will be a negotiable item, especially
5.2-2, (Collins read 5.2-2). The Facility plan for the City, 1976, is very much
keyed to the Urban Service Planning Area. These are things to keep in mind in terms
of the Impact Area negotiations.
On the rural area under agricultural, Collins referred to 6.1 - 3.2 a & b, the
minimum lot size for a subdivision in the rural area for the Country is 1 d. u. per
80 acres. The County's perspective is, what is agricultural - should be agricultural.
The exception to this is the one acre splits. It was explained. 6.2 - 3.2a was
explained. The Meridian rural residential density is less restrictive than the
County's density at this time.
When the Comprehensive Plan is adopted and the negotiations are completed, then
Meridian's Comprehensive Plan will become an amendment to the County Comprehensive Plan.
Collins presented a map of the County Comprehensive Plan and stated that when the
Amendment to the County Plan is accepted the City limits will probably be different
because of growth. The Impact area will also probably be different.
One other concern is the Policy statement on interim sewer facilities and if it is
in compliance with the County plan. Is the resolution in compliance?
Patrick Joy stated that the resolution in essence as it relates to the Comprehensive
Plan states that those systems that are interim will be connected to the municipal
system. We will service those areas when the new plant comes on line.
Collins stated that on the cost of the Comprehensive Plan that it will be difficult
as staff to complete all the background material in a printable form within this
budget year, soil conditions, climate, history of Meridian, how we did the survey.
It will be difficult to get them in printed form because of other responsibilities.
The supportive material will be done for the Comprehensive Plan.
Collins also stated that there was a meeting between Storey, Williams, Sharp and
APA Staff on the cost of printing the Comprehensive Plan - the cost of the document
for the public.
Storey stated that the City received it's money ~ worth from APA, Planning and Zoning, etc.
Collins stated the South/West area is going through interim ordinances. The area
is being looked at for sewer ability. We would like to have a representative from
Meridian on the South/West sewer feasibility committee. Bob Witter is coordinating
the committee. He is the Environmental Division Director to APA. The appointment
should be made relatively soon and the member can be from the Council or P&Z.
Williams stated that the Comprehensive Plan, Page 5, under the definitions a) Public
Central Sewer and Water Facilities should be changed to Municipal.
Page 10, Policy Number 2, insert written guarantees for guarantees.
Page 23, under Old Town, Top line encouragement should also include Medical Facilities.
Page 26, the 3rd "when" down, when provisions have been made to provide a variety of
housing types of all income age groups, ect. should be deleted. The reason is that
it could almost be read in that there is a requirement of 10%. The same thing could
be accomplished with amenities to the City.
Page 31, Principal Arterials, should have Cherry Lane Sub/Fairview Avenue.
Page 32, that says Ten Mile between Fairview and Overland should read Cherry Lane
and Overland. Fairview does not extend that far. On collectors, Planning and Zoning
wanted to add Gruber Street as a collector.
Page 59, Other Projects, Number 1, encourage industrial development within industrial
review areas, we should strike out all priorities and move Technical Industrial
Review area down to the bottom and have Eastern or Western first, because of
accessability of municipal services. Those within the City limits should be the
first ones and the ones outside the City limits now should be a lower priority.
Delete any reference to priorities. These include Councilman Glaisyers recommendations.
Storey stated that it is a good flexible plan and changes will be made from time
to time.
Meridian Cit Council 6 September 5 1978 I
(cont'd)The Meridian Comprehensive Plan:
Agenda
3 Collins inquired as to what the Council wanted to do with. the population data source.
Storey stated delete the 1978 Housing Study and replace it with the Demographic and
Transportation Study.
Sharp stated that it is a good plan.
Storey read Form letter and signatures. (see evidence C)
He stated to the Council and P&Z that the word "Municipal" be left in.
Fuller stated that it is important to leave all the options open. There are
circumstances where the City will be sorry it is in there. An example is the
Creamery. There are a lot of industries that use a lot of water and would probably
overload the sewer by using too much of the capacity. We may want the industry -
the City is unnecessarily backing themselves into a corner.
Storey did not agree and stated that nothing was there to stop industry.
Fuller stated that they would have to go through the process of changing the Plan.
Williams stated that he doubted if they could pass EPA requirements. If a problem
developed, it could be addressed on an individual basis. We have fully ignored the
fact of our new treatment plant, the spending of 7 to 9 million dollars to get these
facilities. We are looking at growth within a urban service planning area that is
going to be served by those facilities to go the other way.
Storey stated that he did not see why this could not be negotiated if an industry
wants to come in.
Fuller stated that the City would be better off if it did not box itself into a
corner. The City has all the controls so why box into a corner and sorry for later.
Collins stated that there is an amendment process in the Comprehensive Plan every
six months. If a major industry come in they will not drop in over night. There is a
lot of lead time. If there comes a point where it was necessary to amend the plan
preparation can be made to time that and work toward the Meridian plan of self-
sufficiency. From his perspective, he saw no hinderence with retaining municipal.
What the Planning and Zoning struggled with and talked over a long period of time is
how they come up with the policy diagram. The Meridian municipal sewer system was a
major factor for the shape because it follows the drainage area that comes through
there. It is a priority now to tie this to the system at this point in time.
Collins supported the Municipal system at this point in time.
Sharp stated that it was Planning and Zoning general consensus to specifically
provide for Municipal system. We might find alternative systems down the line that
we can incorporate into the plan as feasible alternatives.
Fuller stated that it is different between Government and business. You have to get
the interest firs#, someone interested in the area before they will come up and talk
to you. This is the point and it is foreign to governmental employees. They are not
familiar with how the people got here in the first place. If we advertise these
wrong things, they will never get up here to negotiate.
Storey stated that he did not think the idea was valid.
Steve Gratton inquired as to why the change from public to municipality?
Sharp stated because we have a municipal system. Our feeling is we should grow from
the core, we don't want to go off in various directions at this time.
Gratton stated, after listening to the two sides, Doesn't the City Council have the
final decision one way or the other whether the plan says public or municipal?
Doesn't the City Council have the final decision one way or the other?
Storey stated that after the Council approves it - it must be approved by the Council.
Mari~ian city Council 6 /~ September 5, 1978
(Cont'd) The Meridian Comprehensive Plan
Agenda
3 Gratton stated that in his opinion, if he was a representative of the industry looking
at this area, and of late we have had industry looking here, he would really not want
to overcome any stumbling blocks at all what so ever. If one of those stumbling blocks
whether it's a real one or not, is the fact that they have to be on City services
instead of their own. He could see no reason why it shouldn't say just public as
long as it was approved by the Council, which the Council has approval one way or
another.
Williams stated that the Council does not have approval on a public service system.
If they are dumping affluent into a drain or stream, they will have to go through
the hoops with the E.P.A. They would have to get their discharge permits - they would
have to build a private treatment plant and the paint becomes who is going to maintain
it. There are only two or three industries in the area that maintain their own
private system. They cannot afford to go through those hoops because of what is going
to happen if all the sudden you have a big development that comes in with their own
treatment plant, at some point in time is the City going to have to maintain that -
who is going to pay for the maintenance and operation of that plant. We built one
to serve the community rather than have two or three piece meal services all over. We
have one central facility hopefully we can manage and run that economically those
two or three.
Gratton stated that you are saying after it was approved on a say on a public sewer
system. Say a individual sewer or water system that later on it could be a problem
to the City as to who maintains it in the years hence.
Storey stated that it wasn't that big of a problem.
Gratton disagreed and stated that he was trying to get to why the different between
public and municipal. He could see Fuller's point and the City point the difference
between the two, but if in the future it can be a problem. What Mr. Fuller is
talking about is the initial of getting that industry here initially if that would be
a stumbling block to industry, initially that may be what Meridian might want.
As Williams says, after the Council has approved it on their own sewer system-if they
should sometime down the road-he didn't know how you could overcome that stumbling
block for the City if they said they will put in their own sewer system to handle
our own plant and it was approved on that basis.
Gratton agreed with Williams that later on that could be a problem as to who would
maintain it unless there was some type of agreement or someway that could be that
that company would agree to maintain that for the duration of however long that
company was in business.
Kingsford stated that the Company could go out of business.
Gratton stated but then so would the sewer system if the system was designed speci-
fically for that plant - if the plant went out of business so would the sewer system.
Kingsford inquired to Crookston if a conditional use permit could be issued or something
of that nature, even though we have a Comprehensive Plan for an individual case
without amending the plan.
Crookston stated he didn't think there was any authorization for it.
Williams stated that you would also have to go through other agencies, E.P.A.,
State Health and Welfare and 208 Plan to get a public sewer system if someone wanted
to build their own. It would be easier to get the plan amended than getting the
plant built. We are guessing at this point that there is a problem.
Gratton stated that Fuller is saying that Meridian has the opportunity to pick and
choose the industries that come in here. He explained by saying that he does not
want anything that will scare off the good industry when the City Council has the
final say anyway. They should scare them off before they ever get to the point of
coming to the City Council and saying they would like to locate here.
Gratton thought that Fuller was saying if it is not a problem with the wordage
of saying Municipal sewage system, then he is all for it. If an industry looks at
the Comprehensive Plan and says Municipal and does not read a problem into that
although maybe they are in a position where they are at a size or location where the
sewer system is not feasible for them, or it would be more feasible for them to
put in their own system and still be annexed into the City.
Gratton stated that we don't want to close off those types of industry. He thought
everybody here is for the same end and we would like to see the best industry locate
here that we possibly can, and if we can do that and leave the wordage in there

3 and amend it later, whatever, leave municipal on and it isn't a problem, fine.
What he is after is - is it going to be a problem, is it going to be a hinderance,
is it going to be a help? That was his question.
Collins stated that in the Comprehensive Plan in the industrial review areas, there
are four and a lot of flexability in location. All areas have some things that
industry is looking for, level topography, rail access, Freeway access, so there
are a lot of pluses with those. Planning and Zoning were concerned about the growth
that would support the municipal system at this point in time because this is a high
point of interest for the City.
Williams stated that on Page 7, Policy Diagram, on Mixed Use Areas, that a mixed
use area be designated in that neighborhood called Linder Acres which would be from
Meridian Street west to Ten Mile, bordered by the Interstate and Waltman Lane be
designated as mixed use. Also, the same in Locust Grove that would run from an
equivalency of Waltman Lane, east from Kuna-Meridian Road, east to Locust Grove
be designated as mixed use. Mixed use areas bordering the Interstate so that the
mixed use areas are contiguous along the Freeway.
The Mayor stated that a top priority is the signal light on the North end of town and
inquired if provisions had been made for it.
Collins stated that the Comprehensive Plan did not get into the details of signal
lighting that would be a functional traffic improvement program. We wanted to make
sure the Comprehensive Plan would not conflict with that but that is a specific
that would be dealt with T.I.P. (Transportation Improvement Program)
Williams referred to page 58 under the Capitol Improvement Program, Number 2,
Transportation Improvement and read the comments from Mr. Funkhouser, ACHD(see evidence)
Williams stated under our priorities for Transportation Improvement that the curve
needs fixed before someone is killed.
Collins stated that under the Transportation Improvement Program, implementation
section is simpbly an index of everything we have talked about in the Comprehensive
Plan. The only commitment to a time table is on page 57, Zoning Ordinance, Ordinances
and planned unit developments. Later down the road you can select from all this
stuff that is simply an indexing of the things we have talked about. It is not meant
to leave out a high priority item but is an index of the plan.
Sharp suggested if it will eliminate or minimize a problem let's put it in. If there
is any possibility that by leaving it out the Highway District would renege on the
deal then put it in.
Storey recommended it be added-Williams agreed.
Kingsford stated Comprehensive Plan, Page 2, Addendum, Air Quality Plan for Northern
Ada County, has been a problem with knowing what it is.
Storey said it did not make any difference because they ran out of funding.
Kingsford suggested deleting it.
Williams wondered if it would effect any programs we have been talking about.
Collins stated that a regional shopping center drastically affects traffic .
The Air Quality Study will happen.
Kingsford stated that we should not key it to something that does not exist.
Williams explained parking requirements.
Collins outlined the future of Air Quality and stated if we co-ordinate our plan
then above all we should co-ordinate it with the County plan because that is the
existing regional planning area. We could strike the Air Quality Plan.
Sheldon Gerber stated northern Ada County is a non-attainment area for air polution
by the E.P.A. and unless there are some good faith efforts made, you could jeopardize
a lot of Federal funding for a number of programs. It is something you have to keep
in mind. It will eventually apply anyway.
Collins stated you could insert the word "future" so you don't mislead anybody that
there is a Air Quality Study.

(Cont'd)The Meridian Comprehensive Plan
Agenda
3 Fuller stated what worried him is the competition between Boise and Meridian. They
don't want a regional shopping center in Meridian, they arbitrarily picked the Kuna-
Mora Road as the North/South Boundry for Northern Ada County. What would stop them
from picking Cloverdale Road next time on some plan they draw up - it's Boise that
people are going to be drawn toward.
Collins stated that we wouldn't want to put anything in that would jeopardize the
regional shopping center location. It is a high priority in the Plan and when
Mr. Nahas was here he indicated that he would begin a program of monitoring Air Quality
even though nothing is out there.
Williams stated what will affect Meridian is when they do transportation planning as
it related to mass transit. He would like to see the Boise Urban Stages expanded
into a Ada County System not just Boise.
Storey suggested adding the word "Future".
Williams moved to accept the Comprehensive Plan as presented by Planning and Zoning
incorporating changes mentioned by the Council as admendments, seconded by Bodine.
Motion passed: Williams, yea; Bodine, yea; Kingsford, yea
Williams complimented Planning and Zoning for the work on the plan.
Kingsford complimented those people who gave input.
Storey thanked the committee for a fine job.
The Mayor stated that there will be 500 plans printed and they will cost $6.00 each.
Agenda Roger Welker, Fire Chief, announced that they are having the Firemen's picnic this
4 Sunday (Sept. 9) at the Dairy Show Barn.
Agenda Mark Van Loucks, United Cable Television, was present and updated UCT progress in
5 the area. He presented a history of U.C.T. Van Loucks announced they are ready to
proceed immediately with CT in this area and presented their plan for CT in this area.
All the services are ready to go. There are 21 channels:
Servicel~hristianand religious programming; Service 2- Program information channel;
Service 3 is a 24 hour weather service; 4, 5 and 6 are ABC, NBC and CBS; 7 is
independent broadcasting station; 8, local educational channel; 9 is Public broadcast
system; 10 is from Atlanta for sporting events; Channel 13, sports news; Channel 14
is 24 hour news service UPI teletype; Channel 15 preview of other Channels;
Channel 16, Public Access station; Channel 17, Consumer Advertising; Channel 18,
Consumer Shopping Guide; Channel 19, Children programming National Learning Institute;
Channel 20 and 21 are optional Channels - home box office and showtime front row.
Van Loucks stated that they need to take the current franchise with Meridian and
update it. The only change of substance is subscribers rates - other changes are
cosmetic in nature.
Storey stated that we are pressed for time if it is updated it can be passed on at
the next regular Council meeting.
Mark Van Loucks stated that they have told four (4) Cities they are ready to proceed-
Caldwell, Boise, Meridian and Garden City.
Williams inquired as to when the first subscribers will be on line.
Van Loucks stated. that it depends on how the microwave system light out here.
It is possible Boise will not have the first system. The first subscriber will be
served within six months. The entire system is required to be completed, with service
available within 18 months under the terms of the franchise. It is a certified
system with no waiting time. They hold the permit for an Earth Station and hold
the license.
The Mayor outlined the history of the franchise.
Van Loucks pointed out their cost on litigation and stated the system is the most
technically innovative service we can get.
The Mayor instructed Mark Van Loucks to get the information over to City Hall
for distribution to the Council.
Meridian City Council .9. September 5, 1978
Agenda Mrs. Doug Larson (Conditional Use Permit for a Beauty Parlor)
5 Mrs. Larson was present representing herself. She stated that she had submitted the
necessary signatures to Planning and Zoning.
Williams inquired if she would have a sign.
Mrs. Larson stated that she was not interested in a sign.
'`--'Bodine moved that the Conditional Use Permit be granted, seconded by Williams.
Kingsford stated, as the Mayor had stated some time ago, that guidelines are needed
and would like to see it changed where 100% of the signatures are needed and if they
are all for it, he would concur, but wondered if a Conditional Use should be granted
if 25% are opposed.
The Mayor stated that the Conditional Use Permits are going to have to be taken in hand
and looked at. If we continue as we have been doing we will have several kinds of
businesses in all the subdivisions and that is not conducive to good planning.
He stated that he wasn't opposed to this request but the Council should take a hard
look before they grant anymore Conditional Use Permits. A residence is not the place
fora business.
Williams agreed with the Mayor and stated that if there is one that is granted, that
becomes obnoxious or a nuisance to the neighborhood, then the neighborhood has the
right to come in and request the Council to revoke the Conditional Use.
A Conditional Use goes with the individual and does not go with the property.
That is the one saving grace in the Conditional Use Permit.
Motion passed: Williams, yea; Bodine, yea; Kingsford, yea
Agenda Vern Pincock - 5 Acre Dairy Farm on N.E. Corner of Sunny Brook Farm Subdivision:
7
Pincock was present representing himself and stated that he had entered into agreement
with Bill Knapp and since that agreement the City boundaries have extended out to
include that property. We have a dairy farm on it and are bottling raw milk, and
have a license permit to sell it.
The Mayor inquired if the annexation was made prior to the lease.
Pincock stated that the date on the contract is November 1, 1977. It is a lease option
sales agreement. He stated they were out $12,000 if they cannot go ahead with their
plans and realized in a Estate date they will have to move. They are looking for
Grandfather Rights to keep it.
Storey stated that he did not think Grandfather Rights applied because the property
changed-oxnership and asked Crookston to comment.
Crookston stated that he wan not sure but thought it did.
Pincock stated that he had assumed the property before the Annexation.
Crookston stated that the owners of the property had the right to request annexation,
if you did not Bo along with it then it is a violation of the lease and that's a
problem betxeen you and the landowners.
The Mayor stated its use was incompatible with residential development.
Crookston stated that technically what happened is time frequence is that as soon
as the Council received an application Yor a request for annexation and rezone,
any Grandfather Rights terminated with any of the property when you changed your
zoning and the request was from that landowner for the zone change and annexation.
So, the City is not facing the question of Grandfather Rights but is down to a
Conditional IIse Permit.
Pincock stated that if on a yearly basis it would atop them from getting their
financing.
Crookston stated that if there is a problem with the lease and the landowner made
the application for rezone in violation of the lease, then the recourse is with the
landowner or a Conditional Ose Permit.
Meridian City Council .10 September 5, 1978
(Cont'd) Vern Pincock - Dairy Farm
Agenda
7 Williams stated that he could support a Conditional Use Permit on a gearlq basis
but did not sec how the City could help out.
The time frame of annexation lease option and responsibilities were discussed.
The Mayor stated that the matter would be placed on the Council Agenda for
September 18, 19?8.
Agenda
8 Columbia Village (Preliminary Plat):
Charles Shepherd wen present representing Columbia Village and stated that what
happened was that the Preliminary Plan was sent out rather than the Preliminary Plat,
that would take care of some of the comments. One is from Ada County Highway District
on curve of roadway. They would like to get Preliminary approval so they can take
care of the Fire Department access. One suggestion is a tarn around culdesac.
The density has been reduced, they had some five-plexes now reduced to four-plexea,
down to 10 units per acre. It is next to high density areas and this is a step
down in density and cost to get houses down to the $30,000 - $40,000 price range.
It is a Townhouse development and everyone they worked with granted a variance from
the ordinances.
IIlaworth stated that there was an easement arouttd the property.
Shepherd stated that it did not show. It world have to be on the north or south
boundary.
IIlsworth pointed out the easement.
Gratton inquired as to xho would finance the development, what the density would be,
size, and definition of a Townhouse.
The matter was discussed.
Specifications and Council Policies were discussed.
Shepherd stated that the concept wan to do smaller homes, maybe two bedrooms for
starter families, retired people aad singles.- you do not get large families.
Williams stated that protective covenants are needed with the Preliminary Plat as
it is a policy. He inquired hox many units there would be total.
Shepherd replied there would be 36.
Gratton stated that because of the square footage that it was against the City Policy.
The policy was to get Meridian a little higher priced homes - we have enough smaller
homes, ect.
The Mayor stated that the current policy covered single unit dwellings.
Gratton stated basically what you are talking about here is single family dwellings,
two houses xith a common wall. If you allow this you are going to have problems
enforcing this on single family.
Williams stated that the development to the west was higher density. The problem
here is costly land and we need a transition out of the heavy density. The question
is how to promote some type of transition across.
Shepherd stated that 3s the biggest point we tried to address - the transition,
1350 sq. foot homes with two car garages, you are talking $55,000.00
There was general discussion on density.
Storey stated that when we speak of densities you must take the surroundings,
environment, ect., into consideration.
Owen Frost stated that there probably wont be families living there, they are looking
for open space for the children, or whatever.
Williams stated that the restrictive covenants will provide more than has been
presented so fer.

Columbia Village
Gratton stated his concern is that Meridian has had enough Farm Home Administration
financed buildings. FH does not discriminate between single family and Townhouses
and discussed the matter.
General discussion on 1350 square foot policy followed.
Kingsford stated that there ie a problem with the roads for fire protection - it needs
better access.
The Motion was made by Grant Kingsford to deny the Preliminary Plat for Columbia Village
because of inadequate access.
Traffic was discussed.
Williams inquired as to why Sharp had voted against the development.
Sharp stated that he was concerned about the density and concerned about it becoming
a Farm Home pro3ect. We do not have adequate ordinances to cover this type of
situation - we need them before we permit too much of this type of development.
Storey and Bodine concurred with the ordinance statement.
The Motion was seconded by Marvin Bodine.
Motion carried: Williams, yea; Bodine, yea; Kingsford, yea.
Storey stated that they are not saying they have to give up on this, but there are
reasons why the Council voted against it. This should be studied more and problems
ironed out.

RE: Ada County Demographic and Employment Distributions
to Year 2000
ASSDCIATIDF
In 1976 the Demographic and Economic Base Study for Ada County, Idaho
was completed by Wilbur Smith and Associates. The report contained data
on residential characteristics and employment information for the 221
traffic analysis zones of Ada County. This information was compiled in
5-year increments from base year 1975 to year 2000.
A disclaimer in the Wilbur Smith report explains that the 1975 base year
data is accurate within a five percent degree of error. However, in the
interim period of time, land development policies and the phasing of
public facilities have altered such that the projected data by traffic
zone is no longer acceptable as accurate.
In an effort to update the projected data to be more reflective of
future growth patterns in Ada County, the recommendations of the Ada
County Comprehensive Plan, Boise Metro Plan, and plans for the small
cities were evaluated. Historical trends, service capacities such as
water and sewer plans, economic housing trends and other documents and
criteria were also considered and a new distribution of projections was
Interpreted.
The report, Demographic and Employment Distributions To Year 2000,"
prepared by the Ada Planning Association with the cooperation of Ada
County, Boise City, Idaho Transportation Depratment, Ada County Highway
District, small cities, and the Boise School District contains a re-
adjusted distribution of population and employment projections.
The breakdown of these projections and their methodologies was completed
at three different levels:
Level I - Countywide Projections
Level II - Boise Tletro, Small Cities, and Rural Area
Level III - Traffic Zone Allocations

POPULATION PER TRAFFIC ZONE F
' , •fHE SMALL CITIES .AND RURAL ARE •
General Methodology for All Small Cities and Rural Areas -
Generally the allocation of projected population to traffic zones in the
small cities and rural areas was based on long range plans and historical
trends for each. Detailed land use data was not available, so acreages
of different uses were estimated and sesumptfons made. More specific
methodologies are explained below. (See Table I, p.10 for the total
population per small city and rural area.) The population allocation
tables for the small cities and rural area are on pp. 59, 60, and 61.
Detailed Methodology Per Area -
Meridian -
Meridian is presently in the process of developing a comprehensive plan.
Based on the recommendations of the plan, locations and acreages of
various developments were determined. The number of proposed schools
and their acreages was estimated so that these areas could also be
subtracted from the developable land. The projected population for
Meridian was 25,150 and based on this projection the number of schools
was determined by re~grencing the Manual of Housing Planning
and Design Criteria. The location of the different school sites and
other proposed developments was taken from a sketch plan map of the
Meridian area. Higher density areas were weighted by 50%. The lower
density areas were recommended for residential reserve and central
water/sewer service was not anticipated. Higher density areas were more
contiguous to the city center and adjacent to activities such as Meridian's
proposed shopping.centera.
There is no vacant land map for Meridian, so vacant acres per traffic
zone were estimated based on the percentage of area having existing
development. The remaining percentage was assumed to be vacant.
Traffic zones 211, 192, 210 and 200 were on the fringe of Meridian's
impact area and only portions of their area were Included in Meridian.
The remaining portions of the zones were in the surrounding rural area.
(See the draft policy diagram of Meridian on p. y.
Eagle - naxt w E ``a
The projected population for Eagle was distributed based on the Eagle
Comprehensive Plan.. A map of the community design (p. 55) identified
major areas for residential, industrial and commercial growth to occur.
Due to the limited inventory of data for deriving specific acreages of
remaining developable land, a simplified method of distributing projected
population was used. The percentage of residential growth planned for
each traffic zone was estimated from Eagle`s community design map. The
additional population to year 2000 was distributed based on the percentages
of residential area in each zone.

RE: City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan
Dear Mr. Coz:
The following are comments on the proposed comprehensive plan for the City
of Meridian:
On Pages 31 and 32 under the functional definitions, (minor arterials) -
presently Meridian Street north of Cherry and Linder Street north of
Franklin have been classified as minor arterials.
Page 57 -Functional Plans -when you are doing your design studies and
standards for streets, we would like to discuss this with you so that you can
meet our minimum standards.
On Page 58 - ".Transportation Improvement Program° ~ you may give some
consideration to Cherry Lane as a priority. .The Ada County Highway
District and Idaho Transportation Department have planned'a program
at least for the intersection at Meridian either di rection'for a block
irr our 1978-79 construction season. If Meridian does not consider this
as one of their high priorities, we will re-analyze our committment to
this protect,
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.:
Sincerely,
~l
