walk and curb, which I have no way of putting in - the children don't use it as they are
inside my home and yard."
Williams: "The comments of the Highway District are well taken, but I think this time it
would be a little far fetched for what is going to happen there."

Meridian Boat Building - Automotive Use
Sam A. Romans, Frontier Oil, presented sketch drawings of proposed conversion of the
former Meridian Boat Building, located on the corner of W. Ada and E. 1st, to a Goodyear
franchise.
Romans stated, "there will be no mechanical done in this, it will strictly be the changing
and franchise of tires. The outside will be radio controlled trucks, service to farms
and also commercial farms. I understand that there was a problem with citizens not having
a walkway or sidewalk and the former owner parking boats to the street. There was an old
gas pump island when Mr. Bodine was there and I think we will make a planter or may need
this area for parking. We would remodel that building for retail tire sales."
Romans stated they have ten (10) parking spaces and would have access to additional parkinc
in another compound. He was not the one that bought the building, but the tentative lessee,
Building Inspector had requested the building up to code. Romans felt anything they did
would be an asset to Meridian and intended to bring the building up to code.
Chief Sherwin questioned i# there would be off street parking.
Romans: "If we put sidewalks along there, that should eliminate that - of course there
won't be any truck service done there."
Peridian City Hall .2. October 20, 1980
Mayor: "There needs to be sidewalks there."
Welker: "Will there be any recapping there?"
Romans: "No. Goodyear, on occasion runs a special on lubrication to see the impact of
their advertising."
Orton: "You do not need a change of zone."
Romans: "We just want to bring it up to code and the permission to make this building
attractive by remodeling and go to business in Meridian."
Kingsford: "I'm for that - anything you can do will improve it."
Williams: "The only concern I have is if this ever goes four lane parking along the
street (E. 1st) is going to be 'not at all'."
Romans: "Mr. Schoen told me. This compound over here is quite large and would be adequat@'
tAayor: "You do have an agreement with the owner of that property?"
Romans: "We do, with the one that has it leased now."
Williams: "I wouldn't want you to be hit cold if that street went four lanes - we want
your planning to go accordingly."
Romans: "If we can't get in now before winter comes in, we might as well wait to next
April because the ti re business is January and February."
Brewer: "There was a water problem there and if I remember right, there is no storm
drain on that corner, I'm wondering if you curb and gutter and sidewalk it, what will the
water problem be then?"
There was discussion concerning the water build up.
Stuart: "The crossing from Ada and E. 1st is so high the water can't drain off. The only
way would dig down and put a drain under Ada St. so it would drain."
Brewer: "I would like to see a way to cure that problem if they are going to put that
kind of money - would you be willing to look into that?"
Romans: "I would think this would be up to the street department."
Mayor: "State Highway."
Romans: "If they build a new highway, they will have to put drains."
Mayor: "They will if they change the highway."
Brewer: "Your concept is good, it's just that that has really been a swamp down there
and can't help but think a new sidewalk and curb is going to act as a dam - it will keep
the water off of your property."
Installation of a storm drain was discussed.
Romans questioned if he could go ahead with other phases of remodeling, etc. to pace time
frame for this business and hold up on curb and sidewalk until the problem of storm drain
was decided.
Kingsford: "I would like to see the sidewalk, curbs and landscaping go in at this time
and work with the State and Ada County Highway District to see if we can't move that water
out."
Williams: "The water is going to be there whether you are there or the building stands
empty. I would rather see this improvement than standing empty - I think this is what
we're down to."
The Motion was made by Williams and seconded by Orton to approve this wholesale ti re out-
let, located at 331 E. 1st.
Motion Carried: Williams, yea; Kingsford, yea; Brewer, yea; Orton, yea.
Mayor: "Welcome to the community - Chamber of Commerce is right down the street."
Romans thanked the Mayor and Council.

Agenda
3 Arnold Annexation Hearing
Attorney Howard Foley was representing Guandolyn Arnold property, 2025 W. Pine, consisting
of 50 acres and to be zoned industrial.
Foley, displaying map: "Arnold is seeking annexation of the parcel outlined in red that
lies along Pine St. near the intersection of Linder. Pursuant to the recommendation that
was made after we requested an initial 300 foot strip to be zoned commercial and the rest
of the property industrial, we dropped that request and have. gone back to Planning and
Zoning. Probably, the only thing that has come to light through the hearing, is the change
that concerns the property that lies in this particular area (indicating enclave - Rich,
Fenstermaker and Price property on map) and what those people's attitude was there. We
were advisded by the City Clerk that those people in 1978 made application for annexation
into the City. We would assume from that, they would have no objection if-that were to
ever come up. Essentially, our request is exactly the same as it was before - the proper
is the same, we've spent some time on it when we were here before, so unless I can answer
some questions, whatever the case is, there is no need to go back over the same material."
Mayor: "Have we determined whether this will require a lift station?"
Williams: "It will require one."
Foley: "We didn't determine.' that, but I would assume most or the majority of the properib
flows, the rest of the flow goes. We certainly would have no objection to annexation with
the condition that if it were determined at the time development occurs with it zoned,
that the annexing party be required to provide the City with a station and dedicate this
to the City."
Mayor: "This would be required anyway, but it's the maintenance that's killing us. Do
you know Gary?"
Engineer Smith: "No, I don't. I would assume it will require a lift station because with
the drain generally running north-westerly, I don't know the contours and elevation of
that area. Some of that undoubtedly be sewered back toward Linder and to the north to W.
Pine. However, the grade of the sewer line in W. Pine that runs along the front of the
high school, drains to the west. So naturally a portion of that land will have to drain
to the west and north."
Orton: "I agree with Gary - a portion will go and a portion may or may not. Assuming it
does, and that's a worse case for me, and a couple of those industrial parcels on the west
end may need a lift station, I think it would be preferable to have those owned, operated
and for personal use of the industry involved. We get around the maintenance problem, we
don't have the equipment to maintain. We own, and would have to ask for an oversize to
serve additional land. We might get around all of these issues if it worked the other wa,~'
fdayor: "Mr. Stucker, do you have a comment?"
Stucker: "Yes, in regard to water flow and irrigation, of course it does flow north-west
up to 8 mile drain, but then the wastewater turns up around and back to the east and
crosses Pine to 200 to. 300 feet west~Af where the City sewer now ends. So that does mean,
even though would irrigate parallel to 8 Mile canal, it still igdicates it has a flow back
I think the sewer .line is 8 to 10 feet deep. Within 300 feet of that lower point. So
with that respect, at least 3/4 or more of the ground would flow naturally into the sewer.
What would be on the e~est side, south and west; of 8 Mile drain, I'm not sure. If we had
that flow back there, we might be able to sewer that into natural flow. It would take
some engineering to prove to what extent that would be."
Brewer: "It seems to i~ if it's going to require a lift station of any kind to sewer.
that property now, it's going to be that way in the future. I can't help but think properv
ly controlled, light industry might be a great deal better than all residential, which
creates a tremendous amount of sewerage. It's going to require a lift station no matter
what goes in there."
Williams: "According to Planning and Zoning's comments, this does create an enclave, also
the fact we don't know of any commitments of anybody to come here for putting land in an
industrial bank for somebody who has no plans for development now - we don't know what
their plans are, we have hundreds of acres whithering, that are zoned industrial, around
the City now. Why put it in now if there are no plans to develop it - with our potential
capacity problem, we may be short sighted and may be turning away a,alferiaus developer,
rather than a land speculator. Most of this land,raccording to Earl, would not flow into
the sewer system, most of it would have to be lifted up. The other point is, on 10 Mite
going up, we have a future phase of the sewer line tehich would most of it gravity to that
I Meri
point in the future - I just don't think now is the time for this annexation. I'm not
disputing the use of it necessarily, I think we are premature on it. It was denied twr~ce
by Planning and Zoning on that same basis. I think that Planning and Zoning have done a
fine job and have a better perspective of the planning situation as that is solely what
they deal with as our Planning and Zoning Commission, I would heed with their recommenda-
tiom
The Mayor called for further comments.
Fire Chief Welker: "You know I am very much against any p1acN that makes it difficult
to know which fire truck to take and all the industrial land banks around here turn to
weeds."
Mayor: "Do:you have any actual use for it now, Howard?"
Foley: "No, we don't.. The problem Mrs. Arnold faces with this juncture is the manner
which the property lies in the purpose to which would be dedicated, or would be dedicated
if it's not annexed. It doesn't seem potential residential property - we see a lot of
drawback on that, sewerage among them. We appreciate commercial use property might not
be the most beneficial use to the property. Until the property is in the proper perspec-
tive to talk to people about how it's zoned if it!s in the City and what you can do with it
it becomes a little difficult to bring a developer in."
Foley submitted a paper describing the enclave property in question (Rich, Price and
Fenstermaker) and their intention to be annexed December, 1978. He;'did not feel"abgy
would create a very hard core enclave because the:- same property had requested annexation
December, 1978. Anytime the City wanted to bring them in, there shoWld be no problem.
Williams: "I would move that the Arnold Annexation be 'taken .under advisement until devel-
opment plan and potential users are brought before the Council. That way when they get
one, they can come before the Council and not go throughGthe public hearing again."
Kingsford: "Second."
Williams: "This is a short form pre-annexation agreement, I would assume."
Orton: Question -pre-annexation agreement, as we talked about in the past - is that the
developers were commited to annex if they do produce some sort af. user, is that the intended
dtotion Dick?"
Mayor: "You are not commiting capacity to the plan."
Williams: "No, we are not commiting capacity to the. plan."
Orton: "But you are commiting annexation?"
Williams: "No, it's going to have to be addressed by the Council at the time as to what
comes in."
Orton: "We are granting actual nothing at this point? No commitment at all?"
Williams: "No, If they come in with a developer tomorrow, I think it would change."
Foley: "I am concerned - if you go to a potential developer and say 'look at the minutes
of the last Council meeting and we would like you to commit yourself - money, financially,
whatever else's that's nothing~to show them. What I understand, the Council is after is
some sort of documentation, whether at least give us some sort of written agreement to take
to the developer and say 'this is a binding agreement we have with the Council in fact
this property will come in, it will be annexed into the City and in fact it will be annexe:
as industrial property', whether design review is going to be your safeguard or not, or
whether you would like us~:to come back,that would be fine. But give us something we can
give the developer more than just our assurances because of the nature of the Council in
two years, or whatever the ease is, we've really got nothing."
Kingsford: "Even with what your asking Howard, you are asking us fora yes or no. You
don't have a pre-annexation agreement to hand to us tc~ight. I think this motion basicalb
is saying we're open -you won't have to have a public hearing again, or would you like ~-
vote on a yes or no basis?"
Foley: "I would like to have you vote on a yes or no basis, provided we provided you with
a pre-annexation agreement that was viable as far as the Council is cpncerned."
Kingsford: "That isn't what we have now, we have a request for annexation and zoning. If
we annex and zone you, what is the future of having a pre-annexation agreement?"
Foley: "I guess I'm taking off of Dick's motion that was seconded that seemed to me was
the two choices was either a voice vote or possibly a pre-annexation agreement. Obviously,

what we would like to have is annexation and zoned tonight - if that is not going to be
the situation, and the Council is going to favor either a written pre-annexation agreement,
or an informal verbal pre-annexation agreement which contains nothing more than the
minutes of the Council."
Orton: "I would like to ask the Council under the motion that's on the floor now, if
they come back in with a client, can we av®%d all hearings and business of annexation
later on?"
Williams: "That's what the motion said Rick."
Crookston: "You have had one hearing, you can table it for however long you want to table
it."
Williams: "That's actually what the motion has done, taking it under advisement rather
than tabling fora set date."
Crookston: "Pre-annexation agreement itself, we have never approached and I have never
reviewed as to whether or not they are a good idea or not."
Williams: "I question the legality of them because you are commiting future Councils.
Under State Law, you can't do that. In essence, you are bonding it - there may be a grey
area there."
Mayor: "Any further questions from the Council?' There's a motion made and seconded to
take the request for Arnold Annexation under advisement until any future potential users
come before the Council. All those in favor?"
Williams: "Aye." Kingsford: "Aye."
Mayor: "Opposed?"
Brewer: "Aye." Orton: "Aye."
Mayor: "I'71 break the tie and go with the motion. Motion carries."

enacted an area of impact thdt Planning and Zoning Membership comprise those who are
residents of area of impact, but outside of the City limits.
Laura Connor: "Is the area of impact still pending?"
Mayor: "Yes, but we are pretty well geared to where our boundaries are going to be ,we.
just haven't got them negotiated yet as far as our public hearings."
These was discussion concerning selection of member from an area not under dispute or rather
one•mile from present boundary.
Brewer: "Once the City Area of Impact has been established and we find a member was selec-
ted not in that area, a change would have to be made at that time."

Pre termination Hearing - Water/Sewer/Trash Delinquencies
Mayor Glaisyer deefiared pretermination hearing open to delinquent users to defend the claim
Dave O'Leary: "My name is Dave O'Leary, I am the owner of property at 1016 W. 13th, I am
the laddlord of that property. On February 15, 1 :' of this year we rented the property
to some people named Gary and Linda Collins. On Monday, February 18th, we called to change
over the bill. It was our understanding with Mr. Collins, he was to assume all the bills.
We did not hear ahything about this from February, when Collins moved in until September
8th of this year. Sometime between September 1st and September 5th, Mr. Collins moved out.
When we called again to change the service over to the new tenants, we were told that the
water was going to be turned off unless we paid Mr. Collins` bill."
O'Leary summarized Collins' actions concerning bill ~ turned off once for delinquent, turns
on again with token payment, small payments made two or three times, then waited three
months before he did anything and skipped town. "The poiht is, we do not feel responsible
for this tehant'.s bill."
Mrs. O'Leary: "Had we known or had any notification of this bill during the se~!en months,
we would have had this turned off."
O'Leary: "We received the first bill September 8th, the bills were sent to the address at
13th St."
MayoF Glaisyer reviewed the bookkeeping record.
There was much discussion concerning owner liability.
Brewer: "One of the prerogatives of being a landlord, the City can't accept this debt."
Kingsford: "That's the reason the City converted to having the landlords receive the bill-
to alleviate this problem we have had in the pas t, because of the bonding, it will go against
the taxes. My sympathy goes to you.
O'Leary: Why was this turned back on?"
Williams: "That's a good questions"
Mrs. O'Leary: "I was told on the phone that Collins came in and said he was unemployed
and the--gal here in the office felt sorry for him and turned it back on."
Kingsford: "Mr. Crookston, we don't have the capability under our bond to waive any pay-
ment if that was our prerogative:, is that right?"
Crookston: "That's correct."
Kingsford: "I have sympathy with you folks, in terms of not being notified, but I recogr
nize as a landlord myself, that I'm duly responsible for anything thaw ;doesn't get ,paid."
f4ayor: "There is no question that we are as much at fault as anybody, I'll apologize for
that hopirgin the months to come and we get to computerizing, this won't happen."
Orton: "I can't see removing any charges as I don't see it's fair for the City of Meridian
the water was used and you benefit from the property. Perhaps we could remove the property
from the turn off list this month and require them to reduce the outstanding bill next
month by 50k and the balance to zero the following month."
The Motion was made by Orton and seconded by Brewer to require the O'Learys to pay Water/
Sewer/Trash.c~: bill 50q of the next billing and the balance to zero on the following bill.
Motion Carried: Williams, yea; Kingsford, yea; Brewer, yea; Orton, yea.
Mayor Glaisyer called for anyone who requests a pretermination hearing. There were none.
The Motion was made by Williams and seconded by Kingsford that the name included on the
turn offnotice and pretermination hearing, except for the O'Learys, be turned off by the
Water Superintendent on the approved date.

(Gem Estates)
Smith reported submitting a memorandum to the Council as a result of a meeting prior to
Council meeting, October 6, 1980. He received a telephone call from Gem Estate`s secretary
and believed it was in reference to signing the plat. He asked for direction.
Kingsford: "That was our part of the condition to approve the plat - vacation of the dia-
gona3`,sewer line through there and hook it up into Broadway. .This was part of the conditioi
to approve that plat back in 1975. They haven't met that, among other thangs."
Williams: "Also, wasn't Mr. Reeves parcel originally included in that?"
Kingsford: "Mr. Reeves parcel was included in that - have you seen the final plat?"
Smith: "No sir."
Kingsford: "I haven't either. I think it would be difficult for un to think about it
purely and simple if we have not seen it. Also, as Fire Commissioner, I would like to
see those weeds cleaned up."
There was discussion.
Mayor Glaisyer was instructed to write a letter to Jack Dowdle, Gem Estates, requesting
attention to items listed on Engineer Smith's memorandum dated October 9, 1980, and final
plat will not be signed off until compliance. Memorandum on file with these minutes.
Engineer Smith presented bills on the sewer plant, for backup supplies:

As a result of our relnt meeting at the site during the
evening of
ti
ti.• to observe the status of the referenced sewer
October 6 system, I offer for
, ,
~'!~ your consideration the following comments.
1. 8 Inch Diameter Lateral D-1. (The northerly most east-west line).
Physically there appears to be adequate room between the buildings if in the
future it was necessary to bring in equipment *_o make ar_y repairs to the
lateral. My previous request for a 16 foot wide easement could effectively be
reduced to 15 feet. I say this for convenience purposes, since the pla*_
presently has a 10 foot wide easement on the south side of ±he Northerly to±s
adjoining this lateral and the City Subdivision Ordinance requires a 5 foot
wide sideyard set back which would be designated as "sanitary sewer easement"
on the North site of the Southerly ad;oining lots- This combination results
in the 15 foot wide easement which would be adequate.
2. 8 Inch Diameter Lateral B.
This lateral is '_ocated in an asphalt

access.

3. 18 jnch Diameter Trunk Line. The location of a ;nor*_ion of the
North-South trunk line is withir. 2-3 feet of the was*erly side cf one of *_he
apartment buildings. The location does, however, seem to be in accordance
with the development plans that were apparently approved by the City at some
point of time. in the past-. Th. width o±' the easement ;er this ±runk is shown
as 16 feet on the plat and does c~nform with my earlier request to Mr. Dowdle.

"; ~ ''18° diameter trunk line at the manhole in .West Broadway Avenue at the Southeast ,a,

1 r ~' b. Connect the new 18" diameter trunk line and plug the existing
~' ` 18" diameter trunk line at .the trunk line manhole located 101.6 feet south of ,,
~.~ <, the trunk line :manhole. in west Idaho Avenue.
~
~ c. Plug the existing trunk line inlet and outlet at the manhole in
~; West Seventh Street. tF,at is located over the 8"diameter lateral identified as
r° '' '"Line B" on the engineering drawings. It will. also be necessary. to construct
,~
~ ~~ 'a channel through this manhole to promote the transition of flow from the East
''<~S ~ part,of the lateral. to the West .part. An existing .service line from the
,~* ti~ living units to the South and West of *_his manhole enters the west side of the
101 `manhole on an alignment parallel to the alignment of lateral "B" Presently
~ ~` .solids and paper are building up on the manhole shelf. The developer must
~ L either remodel the transition of this line into the manhole to eliminate the
F
