MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 18, 1988
Regular Meeting of the Meridian City Council called to order by Mayor Grant Kingsford
at 7:30 p.m.:
Membexs Present: Ron Tolsma, Bert Myers, Bob Giesler:
Others Present: Howard Brown, Diana. Jackson, Bob Jossis, E1~' Kassens, Laura Connors,
Twayne Walker, Steve Anderson, K. Beumeler, Ed Beisly, Ann Peterson, Gary Smith,
Roy Porter, Paul Stutz[nan, Walt Morrow, Elaine Schlekeway, Gene Strough, Wayne Crookston,
Erv Olen, Gayle & Loren Ross,
The Motion was made by Giesler and seconded by Tolsma to approve the minutes of the
previous meeting held October 4, 1988 as written:
Motion Carried: All Yea:
Mayor Kingsford: The Agenda should have been the carryover items fran last meeting
first so we will take up Item #4 first which has to do with the parking at the new
Chamnber & Visitors Center at the City Park. Mr. Anderson is here to address the
Council regarding this issue.
Anderson: What I shared with you at the last meeting was possibly sonrne alternatives
in that parking area not knowing what exactly we are going to need out there, as far
as the time table concerned we have no problen meeting the time table we are ccnmitted
to, other than maybe having scene flexibility on how we want to lay out the parking,
whether it will be a turn-a-round area or widening the street.
Tolsma: I went out and looked at this and I think rather than aturn-a-round if the
street was widened thirty feet it would serve better. This would make two lanes of
parallel- parking. This would also be easier for the traffic to get in and out.
Anderson This is different than what Was orim Wally planned, I am not sure at this
point what is going to work the best, mostly what we want is 'a little latitude to
figure what is going to work the best.
Tolsma: It looks like this also would be more economical than the circular drive.
Giesler: If we went ahead and decided on the widening of that road, which after going
out there and looking at the area I feel that would.: be the best way to go, I guess
that would be our reconanendation, Iguess the Chamber really object.
Anderson: I really do not th~n]c it would matter to them.
Giesler: We are talking a timetable, you said s~thing about this, I was not
familiar with how long we are talking about, I feel the parking should go in just
as soon as it can, is that something if it were widened instead of making the
circular, is. that something that could be done right now, if that was__.something
everybody agreed upon.
Anderson: The agreement we made as far as the use of the ground and completion of
the project , I think we have ninety for ccenpletion anyway, either way I see done
during the next fiscal year regard],ess of how we do it, my request to the Council
was to give us scene more flexibility on our initial plan rather than change the
timing, I still see it being done in the original time frame we had agreed on.

Myers: I went out and looked at the site also and I think the street widening would be
the best way to do the parking.
Anderson: Maybe what we should do, is go ahead and finish the building have a chance
to watch it and then make a specific recxer~nendation whether we do the circle drive or
widen the street.
Giesler: Mr. Anderson, is there not funds enough to do that at this time now that we
feel that the widen is the best way, are we able to go ahead and do that now, so it
can be a done deal when we are all done so we do not have a problem with the traffic
down there, I have driven down there in the lunch time and I can see some real
traffic problems in that area.
Anderson: I do not see it ccxnpleted before we end 1988, no, I do see it being done
during 1989, which fits our original agreement before 1990. Either way we do it the
funding of it is not the problem, it is just what is going to acccsnodate the use the
best is the question.
Mayor Kingsford: The Council needs to make some kind of determination, we need to
grant an approval because there is not adequate parking as is, it does not meet our
Ordinances for parking, so whatever is the decision of the Council.
Giesler: I would make the Motion that we ask the Chamber to widen that street rather
than the circle drive, in that Motion we also need a time table, Motion was dropped.
The Motion was made by Giesler and seconded by Tolsma to rern~ire the Cha¢nber to
widen the street to accomodate parking prior to the end of the season 1989.
Motion Carried: All Yea:
Item #1: Public Hearing: Conditional Use Permit for Nahas & Simon:
Mayor Kingsford: Mr. Jossis would you like to come forward and be sworn:
Bob Jossis, 11120 Potomac Drive Boise, Jossis was sworn by the City Attorney:
Jossis: The project is basically as shown before ,Jossis had a copy of the prelimin-
ary plat that has been filed and will scene before the P & Z Commission for Hearing on
November.. 7 showing the layout of the project, he explained where the roads and
etc would be located. Mr. Jossis also had... a drawing showing the accesses into the
property off of Highway 69, we had a meeting with the Transportation Board and the
Board did approve granting the access as well as one for the Hon property subject
to relocation of the access on the other side of the highway so it would be direct-
ly across from the access to the Nahas property. Since the meeting with the Highway
Board, I have met with the property owners across the street and they both agree
that they would like the access moved to match with the one on the other side.
This would center the access on the property line between the two properties.
We will be submitting to the Highway Board an application for the change by the
property owners across the highway from our project. The highway will be widened
and have turning ]manes at the access points.
Mayor Kingsford: I will now open the Public Hearing, is there anyone in the audience
who wishes to testify on this matter?
E]n~x' Kassens, 735 West Carlton, Rassens was sworn by the City attorney:
Kassens: I have a question, is there any plan to connect from the access off of
Highway 55 on the west on through to Meridian Street?

Jossis; As part of the Nahas developanent , no. This would depend on what the property
owners wanted to do with their property.
Mayor Kingsford: Is there anyone else who would like to offer testimony? There was no
response, the Public Hearing was closed.

The Motion was made by Myers and seconded by Tolsma to have the City Attorney prepare
an Ordinance to reflect the changes to the Zoning & Development Ordinance.
Motion Carried: All Yea:
Iten #3: Erv Olen: APA, Update on Transportation Plan:
Olen: One of the responsibilities of Ada Planning is transportation planning in Ada
County, the last time the transportation plan was approved was in 1982 and a lot of
changes have occurred since that time, what we are plann;ng now is to update the
transportation plan, look at what changes have occurred and make the appropriate
update. Olen described the process that would be followed and asked that the Mayor
and Council appoint a Committee to work with them on updating the Transportation
Plan.
Mayor Kingsford: I have a list of people who I want to talk to about serving on that
Cca~enittee and as soon as I have cbrn~~ed them and if they agree I will forward that
list to you, I would like to ask Councilman Tolsma to head that up from the Council,
is that alright .with you Councilman Tolsma?
Councilman Tolsma agreed to a be the representative frcan the Council:
Item #5: T & R Construction: Fence on top of burn at Crestwood #3:
Trn~ayne Walker was present to dicuss this Matter:
Walker: I guess we were supposed to have a Pezmit to build this fence.
Mayor Kingsford: We11, there is more than that involved, the Ordinance does not allow
anything higher than a four foot fence, we view that from ground level not burin level
MERMAN CITY COUNCIL •
OCI'OSER 18, 1988

so there is a problem there number 1 and !~# 2, there was no perndt applied for.
Walker: We were trying to keep along with, the wine fence height. that there is at
Crestwood #2, we wanted to make it high enough to keep the children in, we felt
four feet was the height to keep the children in. It is lower than the other side,
the brick fencing, the wood fencing it is within a foot or so of the fencing that
is on #2, we did not feel we were really out of place. We sold those hcm,es in there
with the fence being provided for them.
Mayor Kingsford: Crestwood #2, that was approved before I was involved with the City,
but at least five years ago, Mrs. Schlecke~aay was in and concerns about the burn, it
was higher, there were weeds, there was dust and specifically there was a lot ~f noise
that reverberates off that burn, the noise is pretty loud. .She has been in at least a
couple of times and had concerns about that and I can certainly appreciate those
concerns. As I stated earlier our Ordinance does state that it cannot be higher than
four feet and. we have taken that view from ground level. I think it needs to be one
or the other, you can have a four foot burn or a four foot fence.
Walker: A 4"~~£~ fence would not provide ,the reason the burns was put there in the
first place was for privacy and also breakup the noise from Franklin Road. A four
foot fence would not provide any of this. After the burn is landscaped with trees
it should help break the noise that revererbate from the burns. A fur foot fence
would not do much as far as keeping the children in. Even though the fence is only
four feet on top of the bump, it would be harder for the children to get out.
Giesler: Did I understand you right, that it is only about a foot higher than the
fence on the other side?
Walker: It is lower than the brick fence but about a foot higher than the other fence,
in fact I haven't n~asured it but I wouldn't imagine it was any higher.
Giesler: Now we are talking about along the highway, I have to disagree with you on
that, I think the burm is as high as the fence. I think with the four feet on top of
the burns it would be four to five feet .higher than the other fence.
Mayor Kingsford: I do have a note frcan scene people that I know live in there, Connie
& Jeff Dolling, and they are requesting a fence, I will pass this dawn for the Council
Members to look at.
Elaine Schleckeway: I live at 1200 West Fr lin and own 33 acres of property fronting
on Franklin, I am here to voice my disappral of what is taking place across the
road from the front of my property, this i~ the fourth time I have spoken to the City
regarding thie project ..across the road, I, have put up with tall banks of dirt, covered
with noxious weeds, excessive noise due to this high bank of dirt I have always felt
sooner or later the bank of dirt would be removed which it should be, it has also cut
off our view to the south ccanpletely and sane in a westerly direction. This bank of
dirt was never proposed in the orginal plans for the project which I accepted. It is
just a cheap way for a contractor to dispose of dirt frcan his excavation. At the last
meeting I attended regarding this project, they said they were going to leave a small
burn covered with grass and mowed regularly and that I would like it, what I see I do
not like, it is a tall bank of dirt, quite steep, approximately six feet high and to
add further insult to injury, they are putting a fence on top of it is not sodded.
I have a business building I rent out and the renters are upset about what is happen-
ing across the road. The frontage of my property goes the entire length of this
project across the road. We paid n~re for this property thirty five years ago because
it fronts on the highway and I am hoping when the time comes for me to sell it will
retain the proper value that it should have.

Mayor Kingsford: I guess, though they have not asked for it specifically they are ask-
ing for a Variance, yea, nay or sar~ething on the issue because it does violate the
City Ordinance .
Walker: I think one problem is, we have not had the time to finish what we are plans-
ing on doing, I do not think the problem is the fence, it is because things have not
been completed:, as far as degrading or making the other side of the road less valued,
that is not the purpose here at all, purpose here is to provide hacees, if there is
view that is lost here, you are going to be looking into peoples backyards. These
banes need the privacy-and a ~t~t.fence is not going to do that. There has to be sane
kind of boundry there.
Myers: What is your time schedule for landscaping the burn?
Walker: We plan on doing it yet this fall, it depends on how fast the project develops
we do have to make the improvements on the road within two years.
There was additional discussion on this.
Mayor Kingsford: I can see fran the standpoint of your project, it would be nice to
have that c~.osed off but I think there is scene obligation to the people who are across
the road to protect their rights as well. I am not against the fence to keep the kids
in but you still have to protect those across the street.
Diana Lynn Jackson: I am one of the hceneowriers in the area, I am the mother of four
children and one of them is a two year old and if I am not out in. the backyard with
her I can not let her out there, she will go over the berm, we have bikers that go by
and they can look inside our bedroan window, we do want privacy and protection for our
children.
Giesler: There is no doubt about it what is happening out there is a big improvement
the banes and every thing look nice, I~think for this to work for everybody, we
definately have to have the fence, the burns is not going to do it, I would maybe like
us to work out a solution with Mr. Walker, so it works for him and everyone concerned
whether the burm canes down more and then put the fence up, what the plan is going to
be I do not have an answer to that but maybe we table this and getout there and look
that situation over and see what would work. The privacy I think we are going to end
up with a problem there of being able to create enough privacy for everyone.
There was more discussion:
Mayor Kingsford: If the berm was taken out, you could put up a six foot fence, if you
leave it there and the burns is six feet and you put four on top you have ten.
Mrs. Schlekeway: I think the problem is the berm, I am not against a six foot fence
if it was a ground level, but I don't want a canplete wall up in front of my prop-
erty, which consists of a burns plus a fence.
Mayor Kingsford: Since I heard a volunteer on this, Counci]man Giesler, I would sugg-
est get with the City Engineer and Mr. Walker and include Mrs. Schlekeway and lets
reach sane kind of agreement before the next meeting that is acxeptable.
The Nation was made by Myers and seconded by Tolsma to table this item until the
next Council Meeting:
Motion Carried: All Yea:

Item # 6: Conditional Use Permit for Lorenl& Gayla Ross:
Mayor Kingsford: Mr. Ross if you would cceno forward and answer any questions that
the Council might have, this property is located in the Old Town District and does
not require a Public Hearing before the Council.
Ross: Basically the property is located at.52 East State, the property has been rental
property since we awned it and we want to convert it to a ing service and a used
book store. There will be cosmetic changes to the propertxid some off street park-
ing.
Tolsma: You are putting parking in off the alley?
Ross: That is correct.

and Conclusions of Law as prepared for the Planning & Zoning Commission:
Motion Carried: Roll Call Vote: Giesler, Yea: Myers, Yea: Tolsma, Yea:
The Motion was made by Tolsma and seconded by Myers to approve the Conditional Use
Permit for Loren & Gayla Ross as requested in the application:
Motion Carried: All Yea:
Item # 7: Gene Strough:
Strough: I have a petition to submit to the Council, very simply this is a petition
to eliminate the noise frcen the Hoff Plant. I do not htink we need a lot of discussion
on this, this is an old issue that I have been talking with you about for a long time
we are simply asking that Hoff do the responsible thing and take the Hogg and bury it
in the ground a.s the manufacturer reccnmiends, as they have done at Canfor and also as
was done at Homedale. This petition is not oomplete, I will have at leastthis many
more signatures by the next Council Meeting if you so desire.
Mayor Kingsford: Councilman Tolsma, you have been in contact with the people from Hoff,
would you like to update Mr. Strough and the Council on that?
Tolsma: I was. there yesterday and visited with Mr. Davis, Mr. Draper was i11 and Mr.
Hoff has been at the Corporate Office, Mr Davis advised there are plans in the works
they have two different designs of a noise barrier that they are working on, one of
them is a insulated concrete block barrier around this Hogg and they have also had
another person come out and advise them that is only part of the problen, the pipe
that blows from the Hogg to the Cyclone on top is also part of the problem and that
needs scene kind of insulation also, they are getting cost estimates on the insulation
they have also made some inquiries frcen other plant that have had.a problen. The other
plant have the Hogg set above ground like this one is but they have deaded the sound
some of them have used a block building inside a block building and also insulating
the walls of the blower pipe, they had scene plans that they were showing me as to
what they have in mind to do. They are more than willing to do it but they do not
want to gamble on spending the money and then not have it work.
Mayor Kingsford: Have they any time frame on when they are going to get started on
it?
Tolsma.: They want to get started. as quick as possible, that is the reason they have
thses plans down there they were working with, they are trying to get some specifics
MERMAN CITY COUNCIL • •
OCTOBER 18,...1988
PAGE # 7
as to whether it would work in this area, they are not sure what is creating the echo
cha¢nber. Canfor's are underground, they have of then but they do not nui twenty
four hours a day, the problem with putting then underground here in Meridian is the
problem of the surface water, they would have to put pumps in to keep the water pined
out, if the pumps happen to go out then they have a massive expense of replacing the
electric motors, they had this problem in Hcanedale that is why they set then above
ground over here.
Strough: I realize they would like to have this for their convenience but they are
doing it at the expense of the whole neighborhood ~her~ are hundreds of people involved
in this that are really concernecl, it has been going on for a long time now, it is
getting to the point that the longer it goes the harder it grates on people. I
suggest they move forward at a rapid pace on this.
Tolsma: The problem they have had is this has been going on for a long time but they
have never had a for'n-al complaint against this until about a month ago and you are
the only one that ha.s been down at the plant and ccsnpla.ined about it. They say it is
really hard to take one person word for a noise problem when there is eight thousand
people in the City. If the City Hall had received a formal ccanplaint dated and signed
and the City had sent them a letter it probably would have been resolved before this.
Strough: When we as citizens call City Hall and complain that is not considered a
fommal. ccanplaint?
Tolsma: No, unless it is signed and dated.
Mayor Kingsford: Councilman Tolsma, when you talk to either Mr. Hoff or Mr. Draper
would you present then with that petition and lets try to move along in a timely
fashion.
Ed Beis~.y 1233 West 8th, Mr. Beisly also advised the noise bothered at his home:
Departrnent Reports
City Attorney: We have requested a fee increase and we would request Council action
on that.
Mayor Kingsford: This was subnu.tted several months ago when we were preparing the
new budget. What is the Council's decision?
The Motion was made by Giesler and seconded by Myers to grant the increase as
requested..
Nation Carri~7.: All Yea:
Mayor Kingsford: For the record that is $2.50 per hour on police matters and $5.00
per hour on civil matters:
Police Chief: I have an application fora pawn brokers license from a gentleman by
the name of Terry Stewart doing business as Bexiny's Pawn at 916 East First, all the
checks were alright and it would be my recommendation that the Council approve the
license.
The Motion was made by Myers and seconded by Tolsmia. to approve a pawn brokers license
for Terry Stewart dba Benny's Pawn:

Walt Morrow, Chairnnan of P & Z. gave a report on the s~n;nar he attend.:; at Idaho
Falls as a mernber of the Idaho Planning Association from the City of Meridian.
Mayor Kingsford: I have two things, one we are short one Council Member, I have had
a number of people call and express an interest in the opening, I think it would be
appropriate if I set up a schedule of meetings and visit with these people, have
the City Clerk let you know when they will be in so if you want to be preseni~ou
can or if you have any questions that you want asked of these people and can not
be there let me know and I will get you an answer, lets fill that vacancy at the
next meeting, I would like to get it filled because if one of you were not here
we could not do business as we ~nrould not have a quor~un and the same time I think
it is important that we interview all the people that are interested and are likely
candidates, so we will do that over the next week. The other thing I have is from
Robert A. Wallace an Attorney in Boise, he is the head of the Ada County Citizens
for Safe Roads and has asked that the Council review the facts on the issue of
raising the registration fees over a eight years period to fund highway and bridge
construction in Ada County, would like to have our endorsement.My concern is that
we get our fair share out here, as an individual I am going to personally support
it.
The Council made no motion to support this request;
Being no further business to scene before the Council the Motion was made by Myers
and seconded by Tolsma to adjourn at 9:15 p.m.:
Motion Carried: All Yea:

DATE: October 14, 1988
RE: Ti~ESTERN CITY PROCESS
The Ada Planning Association has a major effort underway to update the Transpor-
tation Plan throughout Northern Ada County. An early emphasis by the APA Board
in this plan update is for staff to work with Meridian, Eagle, and Kura (see
attached outline of western cities process). This process is designed to assist
you in identifying your transportation needs and priorities for inclusion in the
county-wide transportation plan.
As an initial step, Kaye Bean and I met with Mayor Kingsford and Gary Smith to
review this effort. Mayor Kingsford agreed to schedule us for the October
Meridian City Council meeting to review the attached outline and discuss the
appointment of a Transportation Committee. Our staff would work with this
committee in developing transportation recommendations for final Mayor and
Council approval. We anticipate a four to six meeting schedule to complete
this transportation update. As discussed with Mayor Kingsford, committee
members might include representatives from the City Council, the Planning and
Zoning Commission, the Chamber of Commerce and a staff person, if desired. For
these types of efforts, a five to seven person committee would be about right.
We Zook forward to reviewing with you our proposed process for updating the
transportation plans of the western cities. Please feel free to ask any
questions concerning this important effort.
