Meeting called to order at 6:55 P.M. by Mayor Don Storey.
All Members present: Williams, Bodine, Glaisyer, Kingsford
Others attending: Kevin Ross; Bruce Stuart; Roger Welker; Wayne Crookston; Pat Joy
Agenda
1 The Mayor inquired if Mr. Vern Pincock was present representing his Dairy interest
and informed the Council of the situation.
Mr. Pincock has leased, with an option to buy, a five acre tract of land in the
Northeast corner of the Sunnybrook Farm Development. It is a dairy that sells raw
milk. He would like to continue the business but his finances are contingent on
what the City will allow for land use at that location.
According to him the cattle had remained on the place but felt that it didn't make
any difference if the cattle had remained on the place if it changes ownership they
lose the right to have a commercial business there. If we disapprove this he
claims he will lose money. The Council must decide if what to do with the price
of property out there.
Glaisyer stated that it is poor planning to have a milking house next to a
residential.
Williams stated that they should have thought about that when they bought the land.
All that is allowed there is "A" Residential.
Crookston inquired if he is leasing the ground and stated that his understanding
is that he did not own the groutd, a lease with an option to buy.
Grandfather Rights were discussed.
The Mayor stated his feeling are that he loses the Grandfather Rights when it
changes hands. It was written in the Ordinances that there would be no livestock
in the City of Meridian. He is also going against our ordinances by having several
head of livestock within the City limits.
Bodine inquired if a Motion was needed.
Mayor Storey stated that the City had asked him to come to the meeting and he stands
to lose money.
Crookston stated that the proper approach is to act when a zoning request comes in,
in essence he is asking fora change to the type of zoning, or else come up with
an exception for the area.
The Motion was dropped.
enda
2 The Mayor stated that he would like to appoint Rick Orton to the Planning and
Zoning Commission.
Glaisyer moved to appoint Rick Orton to the Planning and Zoning Commission
seconded by Marvin Bodine.
Williams inquired if there would be any conflicts.
The Mayor stated that Orton said "anything that would be a conflict he would abstain."
Motion passed: Williams, yea; Kingsford, yea; Bodine, yea; Glaisyer, yea.
Agenda
3 Williams stated that one of the things we will be addressing soon is enabling
ordinances for the Comprehensive Plan. His thoughts are the development ordinances
and Subdivision and Zoning Ordinances need to be updated. He would like to see
Bud Bailey from Ida-Ore over to talk to us. They have done a good job on ordinances
at Weiser, Payette and Canyon County. We are going to need to hire someone to do them.
The Mayor stated that it is something we will have to look into:
Maridian City Hall - Soecial Meetin .2. Au ust 28, 1978
Agenda
4 Broadway Estates Condominiums
The Mayor stated that he told them that they would have to pay for new hook ups,
both water and sewer; that would leave eight each. They were of the opinion that
we approved it with just the water, the Mayor felt it should be sewer and water.
They would cost about $4,500.00
Stuart inquired if anyone had checked to see how many hookups were paid at
construction time. He felt that was their question.
The Mayor stated four (4). The firewall they are talking about is a pumice block
wall filled with sand. They said it is 10 inches wide which would be more than a
4-hour fire wall.
Glaisyer stated as long as Vern Schoen says it meets fire wall standards, his impression
was that they would pay for sewer and water hook-ups.
Williams stated that we should treat this as if it were a new item, this is what it
would cost if they were coming in.
General discussion followed.
Stuart stated that past Council policy was whichever way a developer wanted td go
that is the way it had to stay. If a developer wants a single meter for a 4-plex
or each on separate meters. One other fee that will be on here is inspection fees
of $20.00 per unit.
City Sewer and Water charges were discussed per hook-up.
Williams stated that the Ordinance reads hook up equivalence.
For clarification the Mayor stated then we charge for 8 hook-ups, 8 sewer and
inspections and 8 meters. He had. also talked to the building inspector and he
had said if it is a 10 inch wall, the fire protection would be 4-hours or more.
The Council was in agreement on the charges.
Vern Pincock did not appear and his request would be heard at a later time.
.Agenda
5 The Mayor stated that the Police Chief had discussed one-way traffic at the park.
There was general discussion on traffic and littering at the park, ordinances
covering littering and the placement of signs.
Bodine stated that he would like to see it cover the whole town not just the park.
Agenda
6 The Mayor stated that the grass at the park looks good. Stuart inquired as to what
to do about a roller. This was discussed.
Agenda
7 Fire Chief Welker reported that they need a deluge nozz'Ne far the Department.
This will cost approximately $1,500.00, the price is increasing.
The Motion was made by Richard Williams and seconded by Marvin Bodine to purchase
the nozzle.
Motion passed: Williams, yea; Bodine, yea; Kingsford, yea; Glaisyer, yea.
