AND COMPILED ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF MERIDIAN,

and approved.

Marvin Bodine reported on the meeting with the Nampa-Meridian Irrigation District.
There were several items discussed.
Regarding Cherry Lane Village Trash collection at the trash racks as to the
responsibility - this was thought to not be too much of a problem.
The maintenance crew could look after this if necessary.
Mr. Leavitt~s attorney and the attorney for the Nampa-Meridian Irrigation District
discussed their problem. It was felt that those matters probably should. have been
discussed eome time ago. It was felt that the Nampa-Meridian Irrigation District
desired pressure system irrigation.
Cherry Lane Village Pumps were discussed. This is an agreement to pay the costs of
an underground line to the irrigatioh pump to be installed at the Golf Course.
The City is to agree to pay the costs of use at a later time. The developer is to
pay the coats of the installation at this time. The amount due now is 84,829.00
The Council felt that the Developer should sign the agreement because he ie the
owner oY the land. When the land ie turned over to the City it will take over this
agreement.
Carl IIlsworth discussed by reporting that Well #9 and #10 are appreciably
completed for the pump house project, Watson Construction. There are rel#ef
valves that were purchased and need to be delivered. This will be accomplished
according to Mr. Ellsworth. Other items are painting face pipeing, repair of asphalt
paving at #9 Well.
The Motion was made by Marvin Bodine and seconded by Grant Kingsford that is the
matter of Wells #9 and #10 Site development project, Watkins Construction Company
that Contract Change Order # 5 Well #1 Pump face piping plus painting in the
amount of 81,674.00
Motion passed: Bodine, yea; Kingsford, yea; Glaisyer, yea.
This total project is 8143,7.75.
The Motion was made by Marvin Bodine and seconded by Grant Gingsford that the
City Clerk be authorized to pay from Construction Fnade the final payment
Contract #5, payment #7 to Watkins Construction for Domestic Water Supply Wells y&10
Pump and Pumphouse construction protect in the amount of 88,740.69 and project
accepted and closed pending the correction of the items as noted.
Motion passed; Bodine, yea; Kingsford, yea; Glaisyer, yea.
Meridian City Hall .2. February 21, 1978
The Mayor came in at this time.
The matter of a development came up for discussion called Farmington Park Development
located East of Eagle Road oa Franklin Road.
The Motion was made by Richard Williams and seconded by Grant Kingsford that the
Farmington Park Development be disallowed until the Meridian Community Plan is
completed and that the County Commissioners be notified that this development adds
to the problem oY community sprall.
Motion passed: Bodine, yea; Kingsford, yea; Glaisyer, yea; Williams, yea.
This type of construction will cause costs to increase.
It was the feeling of the Council that a development of this kind involving 133 lots
of residential type density should be looked at very carefully from all aspects;
water-sewer centrally located, availability of futnre municipal sewer and water,
streets, drainage, curbs, sidewalks, water lines in place, sewer lines in place, etc.
The Motion was made by Joe Glaisyer and seconded by Great Kingsford that all annexations
cease until the Comprehensive Plan and area of impact is completed and that the City
Planning and Zoning be notified of this action.
The Mayor announced that he thought that the members of the Council had received
a letter from Mr. Saunders in relation to the multiplexes he hoped to change
to Condominium: type description. This is located in the Dowdle Saunders Annexation
that had been annexed by a metes and bounds description, Annexed October 2, 1972
The Mayor recommended that this matter be tabled. The Eagineers have not had a
chance to review or make recommendations.
The Motion was made by Richard Williams and seconded by Marvin Bodine that in order
to follow the procedure, channels and policies set up by the City, that the
Lorin Saunders matter be tabled to go through the proper procedures as set up by
the City and other political bodies.
Motion passed: Williams, yea; Kingsford, yea; Bodine, yea; Glaisyer, yea.
Mr. Crookston explained that the real problem is that the development should not have
been allowed in the first place to be hooked up to City services. The platting
requires sanitary approval by the Health and Welfare.
This parcel was taken is by metes and bounds and was not a plat. This parcel apparently
has not had the approval of the Health and Welfare.
It was discussed that if any steps are taken on this matter it will have to be
done by the developer, whether he takes it to the Health and Welfare and the
Planning and Zoning will be up to him.
If he presents a plat he will have to go through the Planning and Zoning process.
The irrigation pump at the Golf Course wen explained. IInderground power is to be
extended to the irrigation pump. There is a cost involved in the amount of $4,829.00
which is to be paid by Leavitt Nu-Pacific. The City needs to sign as agreement to
use this service.
The Motion was made by Richard Williams and seconded by Grant Kingsford that this
pump agreement be tabled until checked and cleared with the Idaho Power and
Nu-Pacific.
Motion passed: Williams, yea; Kingsford, yea; Bodine, yea; Glaisyer, yea.
The City Attorney stated he felt that the City does not own this land and until
they do, the Idaho Power should deal with the land owner - agreements of this kind
run with the land.
The Mayor requested that Steve Gratton on the Golf Committee should help look into
this pump matter at the GolY Course.

February 21, 1978
Meridian City Hall
Carl Ellsworth discussed the possible procedures of handling annexations and rezones.
Mr. Ellsworth had placed is the Councilmen's boxes a check list to be considered.
The Subdivisioa staff report has already been initiated by the Citq Clerk. He stated
he is not quite ears who will consolidate those staff reports and formulate a present-
ation. A Staff might be hired to do this function. There should be a time frame for
evaluation with times for the official body to review these findings.
Mr. IIlsworth stated Yurther that all comments should be evaluated by a review staff
with their recommendations to the appropriate agency.
Mr. Glaisyer and Mr. Bodine felt that the developer should not be allowed to contact
each Councilman to discuss their proposal before the hearings.
Mr. IIlsworth stated that it would take about 30 days before the hearing of the
Planning and Zoning to review and make comments and evaluations.
Mr. Kingsford thought that there should be a hand out sheet of procedures to give
to the developer that would tell him what he had to do to comply.
It was discussed as to the advisability of making is Ordinance or Resolution form
the procedural requirements.
Mr. Ellsworth thought that what is lacking now is informing the developer concerning
the time frame of presentation which could take upward of 3 months or more depending
on the needs. This could take considerably more time in the event of annexation
Preliminary and Final Plat, review of pleas sad specifications, etc.
Following is presented by J-II-B Eagineers as a Checklist for the Review Process
of the Planning Fuactioass
1. Annexation and Rezone

b. Is the tentative plat compatible with the Community Plan?
c. Have all appropriate agencies and/or departments reviewed and commented
on the tentative plat?

for the City?

u
Meridian City Hall ,4, February 2]., 19'78
Mr. Ellsworth commented that it is an extra chore for anyone to formulate the
comments and staff reports that will come in, in relation to proposals.
He stated further that development plena create Engineering review problems. Also"
that the development plan should be approved before the final plat is signed.
Developers do not like this but it is to the City interest.
There was discussion that in the near future the City should have engineering
counsel in development proposals and that if possible this should be budgeted
for next year. The developer needs to be informed as to what will be expected of
him. The City then needs a good staff report upon which to base their decisions.
Mr. Ellsworth stated that J-II-B is limited is its ability as contracted functions to
provide a good technical review that would be helpful to the City as well as the
Planning and Zoning.
Mr. Stuart stated that Subdivision for Multiplex, Duplex, Triplex, 4-Flex, etc. are
requesting 1 meter for the project. He requested direction concerning whether
each unit should be required to place a meter or each multiplex to have one meter.
There is one developer that requests 1 meter per unit.
The manner of plumbing construction would govern whether or not each unit could be
separate.
Mr, Stuart stated that if a multiplex has to be turned off for non-payment; all has
to suffer the inconvenience. Separate meters mould remedy this situation.
More separate meters would encourage changing apartmettts to condominiums or come
form of diversion that would allow individual sales of smaller parcels.
The Mayor stated that the judgement would be required in deciding each matter.
The Motion wad made by Joseph Glaisyer and seconded by Grant Kingsford that Multiplex
dwellings, Duplex, Triplex and 4-Flex, etc. should have one water meter.
(This Motion was withdrawn)
It was thought that additional meters should not be added to existing installations.
This matter is to be studied by the City Attorney and City Ehgineer to help resolve
this matter according to the Ordinances.
Mr. Schoen stated in order for a multiplex to be divided i.n Meridian a variance
would need to be granted to pass over lot lines because of the net back distances.
Vern Schoen brought up the Electrical Code changes.
Flew ordinance should be made to update the present codes to the new coding changes.
Mr. Schoen also brought up the Smith Food King building located on the northend of
East First Street between East First and East 2 1/2 Street.
These developers were told in the Planning and Zoning minutes and the City Council
minutes to provide an access to line up with Gruber Street.
This developer does not want to put a street in this area but seems willing to make
some improvement in an area 25 feet from their building and their property lines.
To complete the street would require the South 1/2 from adjoining property.
30 feet would be needed on the south side from this property line.
A travelway is needed that would be a paved access to allow traffic flow for the
unideveloped area to the south in this area.
Mr. Schoen pointed out that if this area developed as Commercial dower to Lembke
property a roadway would not be needed.
The Fire Chief, Roger Welker, stated that he would need as access to this building
from the South for fire protection as sell as for all sides of the building.
The Police need an access all around the building for good night protection.
It was decided that a paved access should be placed now with this to be converted
to a roadway if needed later to move traffic is this area.
Fire Hydrants were also discussed.
It was the feeling of the Council that there should be 30 feet between the building
and their property line and that 30 feet be secured at a later time from the
adjoining property to the South.
Water stubbs when houses are removed should be capped off by the developer in the
street.

', Meridian City Hall .5. February 21, 19y8
The Motion was made by Joseph Glaisyer sad seconded by Marvin Hodine that the
policy be adopted that developers and those with matters to be discussed should
meet with the Council on their regular meeting nights.
Motion passed: Williams, yea; Kingsford, yea; Bodine, yea; Glaisyer, yea.
Mr. Glaisyer stated that developers should place in writing the agreements they
make to the section heads or Councilmen, concerning their promises to use City
Water - City Sewer and the manner of accomplishing their promises sad at which
definite point in time.
In discussing the Cherry Lane Village and other developers, the developer should lay
his water lines and sewer lines for each phase as a front end expense, not after
the homes are all built.
It was &ought that the Plat and Development Plana should not be approved until
these itmes are satisfactority met.
The matter of the Meridian Greens eta to whether it is properly annexed come up
for a brief discussion. The matter of the Freeway not being annexed raises the
question as to whether this land is annexed.
This is to be looked into by the City Attorney.
The meeting with the Senior Citizens was announced for '7:00 P.M, tomorrow night
February 22nd.
There being no other business to come before the Council, the meeting stood adjourned.
