Kingsford addressed Emery: "I understand you had some feedback from Erv Olen in regard to our last meeting. • Basically, you were Yiad delivered this letter today and our concerns were outlined in that -also, in our minutes. There is concern over how the areas within that plan might be funded. We have gotten a difference in opinion and hopefully we have received a letter now that we clarify that. Mr. Tolsma can speak specifically to that." Vern Eanery: "Yes, and a.s you know, we had some concerns and wanted to be here. Erv Olen, our Transporation Director, is here, we received your letter and concur wholeheartedly with it." "Sure nice to have Ada. County and Meridian to see eye to eye." (laughter) Kingsford agreed and stated "but this makes once in a row." Emery: "I will say it's a pleasure to be here with you" Councilman Brewer stated "it was good to be looking down on you for a change"(laughter) Erv Olen: "It would be approrpriate for the Council officially to concur with the contents of your letter and allow your input to be considered by the Ada Planning Association." Emery: "We invite you to be at our meeting at 8:00 A.M., '1"hursday at the County Bldg. so we can officially confirm the acceptance of the Transportation Plan."

I find with my responsibilities and everything that it would work better with two (2) operators. I would like a new Conditional Use that would give me that privilege, three (3) operators but not more than two (2) working at a time. With my children and being a si~~.gle parent, doesn't allow me to carry the load I need to carry to make it .financially." Councilman Brewer: "There were a lot of relations from Ada County Highway District. Did you see those?" Larsen: "At the Planning and Zoning meeting this was discussed. I'm not in a Subdivision." • F.ar1 Ward, Wastewater Supt" 1°In regard to .the number of operators, the sewer charge chould be brought up to 2.5 - it is 2 now." Bruce Stuart, Water Supt: ''The same charge applies to the water service." Meridian City Council .2. October 18, 1982 Agenda 2 (Cont'd) Public Hearing, Merle Larsen Cond. Use, Beauty Salon...... Mayor Gla.isyer: "The Hearing is now opened to the public for coirnnent, pro or con, regarding the Conditional Use for a Beauty Salong, three licensed operators." There. was no comment. "Public Hearing closed." The Motion was made by Brewer to approve the Conditional Use for a beauty salon with three (3) licensed operators, two (2) full time and one (1) part time operator; with the stipulation of the sewer and water departrnents attached. Kingsford: "Wayne, (City Attorney), does this require Findings of Fact when Ms. Larsen already has a Conditional Use?" Crookston: "It would, because there would be an increase of what she already has." Brewer: "I will withdraw my Motion." The Motion was made by Kingsford and seconded by Brewer to direct the City Attorney Wayne Crookston to draft the Findings of Fact and Conclusion of Law for the Conditional Use Permit request of Merle Larsen Beauty Salon, 1930 North Linder Road. Motion Carried: Tolsma, yea; Brewer, yea; Kingsford,. yea; Orton, yea. Councilman Orton questioned hookup fees. City Clerk stated that Ms. Larsen had already paid hookup fees for Commercial and the 2.5 for water and sewer would be charged monthly. This was explained to Ms. Larsen. Agenda 3 EARL HARMON -MERIDIAN PLACE SUBDIVISION, PHASE I Earl Harmon presented a letter of request for limited paving. Harmon: "The letter spells out in detail all of the request that I will briefly mention. Going back to the original letter where I requested developing a portion of Phase I and from that, your Engineer made some recommendations that ought to be done to make it acceptable. As of today all of those things have been accomplished except for the paving. My request tonight would be that you would vote in favor of the building permits being granted and the acceptance of this project subject to the paving being done in an acceptable manner, according to the elevations of water and sewer people need to have. It also spells out in the letter my warranty and guarantee of the develo~anent project for the park will be accepted by the City. Mayor Glaisyer: "Where the pavement is going to end will there be sufficient turn- around for emergency vehicles?" Harmon: "It has-been required by the ACRD that a barricade be put completely from curb to curb. They. claim the reason is for liability -somebody at a fast speed coming off the paving into gravel could possibly cause an accident. I'm in the process of building a ba~tricade to put across there. I inquired if it could be a partial one so the emergency vehicles could go around but as of Friday afternoon their (ACRD) deter- mination was that they wanted it curb to curb." Mayor Glaisyer: "Other :than that, ACf-ID approved your proposal?" Hannon: `They will, subject to your letter of accepting water and sewer." Maps were displayed of Meridian Place Phase. I. There was much discussion concP~-~+~ng methods for emergency ~rehicle turn-around. The lots to be sold are listed in the letter with these minutes. Earl Ward, Wastewater stated that they had plugged the line off satisfactorily. bore discussion concerning aturn-around for emergency vehicles. The Motion was made by Orton and seconded. by Brewer that the Council accept Mr.Harmon's request as stated in his letter dated October 18, 1982 ,with the request that the barrier be built. at approximately the north side of the intersection of Torrington Court and Jericho Way; and that Mr. Harmmn produce a smooth transition betweem the pavement and the gravel pad for emergency vehicle turn-around. Motion Carried: Kingsford, yea; Brewer, yea; Tolsma, yea; Orton, yea. ~ ~ Meridian City Hall .3. October 18. 1982 Agenda PUBLIC I~ARInTG -MERIDIAN -PARK SUBDIVISION - Muvmtun Square Footage Requirements, 4 of Housing Bob and Alan Anderson were present to request changing the m;n;Trnnn square footage requirements of houses as designated on 59 lots of Meridian Park Subdivision. Bob Anderson Manager and Assistant Vice President of Old National Financial Services: "I'm here speaking. in behalf of our Company who owns approximately one-third of the Meridian Park Subdivision. You all have the letter which basically boils down to the fact that we would like to have 100 sq. foot per lot reduction in the sq. footage requirements for homes built in the Subdivision. There are several reasons but the reason for the decrease is because of the increase in the amount of the materials needed to build a home causes the cost to rise rapidly; increase in the fuel energy needed to heat and other items such as that are going to require less; additional cost of insuring the home is going to be less; the decrease in amount of morgage payments is going to help sales -plus the fact, we have for a number of years in our society, stressed smaller families -there isn't the need for as many large homes for larger families; and those in the building market are more interested in size, entities that go into a home, the quality, or way, in which it is built; and of course last, but not least, the economy meets whatever building we can get motivated in todays market.'° Anderson displayed actual photographs of homes scheduled to be built in the Meridian Park Subdivision, stating the homes range from $10,050 on up. He explained sources of financing homes; that they have at the present six builders and not looking at tract houses.. Anderson: "We came into our ownership through a foreclosure sale - U.S. Bancorp owns the rP,,,aining ~-thirds... Meridian Park is a foreclosure almost in it's entirety, some undeveloped lots have not been foreclosed - MeadowView and Settlers Village are apparently in trouble - Glenfield Manor was in foreclosure but now in Chapter 11 bankruptcy. I bring up these facts just to point out the fact that the building industry is having it's problem along with the people who are doing the financing. There are five (5) homes built in the Subdivision, which two or three of them are in a foreclosure sale, and have since been sold, that were in the 1300 sq. ft. area. There are proposed at this time, nine (9) homes to be built 1000 to 1100 sq. ft.area. We don't have any 900 sq. ft. houses even though the plat calls for them, and I suppose someone on occasion would want a house that mall." Councilman Brewer: "The area left urunarked -what happens to those lots?" Anderson: "I think Capitol Development owns the majority of those lots. In the Spring we will joint venture and develop the rest of these lots with Capitol - because this land, the street stops right here, (designating on plat) the roads, water, sewer, all of this has to be put in before it's any value to a builder -plus the building industry doesn't need the lots. We have the plans out to Marc~sn Construction right now getting what it is going to cost." Mayor Glaisyer: "I will open the hearing up to the public for comment regarding the changing of square footage requirements for housing in Meridian Park Subdivision." Rex Steihl: "I just bought a home in Meridian Park two weeks ago and when I bought the home: there was only three (3) homes there at the time, two of them were 1375 sq. ft. and the other .a touch smaller. They are nice homes-and I felt it is going to be a nice Sub. In the plans it showed there would be no homes under 999 sq. feet and I felt by keeping those standards we would have a nicer Sub. out there, like the Cherry Lane Village and Sunnybrook Farms. Bringing in smaller homes is going to depreciate my home Ifeel- I put a lot of money into it - I would rather not see them build homes right now as to let them drop the standards and let them build shall homes just to get people in there." Mike Gifford: "I applied for a FHA235 loan in Meridian Park Sub. and the lot I chose out initially was a corner lot on which .the stipulation was 1200 feet. I planned a 1100 sq. foot home with a double car garage and after I found out the stipulation through the xealtor I kind of tied up a couple more lots in case this provision wasn't passed. But, I would like to keep the original lot Ipicked - I think the 1100 sq. foot home with a double car garage on this corner lot really doesn't leave that much yard. I would like to see the motion pass to reduce this the 100 sq. feet." Lawrence Fremont, Sheri. Lynn Sub: "There's about five (5) homes actually that people are living in - a couple of models Ithink - I don't know where that genicleman got his information on foreclosures on houses out there, I don't see how you can foreclose on a model. We all ,bought with the same pretense - 1250 sq. feet, or 999. I lived out in the bench area of Boise and I've been to Foxworthy -the homes on the hill are beautiful but right there on the canal and on down to Foxworthy, unless Meridian City Hall .4. Ictober 18, 1982 Agenda 4 (Cont'd) MERIDIAN PARK SUB. SQ. FOOTAGE REQiJIREL~NTS........... you own a wrecked car and have it parked out in the front yard, you can't live there - I wouldn't live there, I wouldn't want my kids to live there or go to school there. I moved here because of the beautiful City, the lots, quiteness, the good school - I don't want that hap~'ning around me. I'm right on the fringe - right behind me is an ~tpty lot, just a whole row of them, there's only enough room to get maybe about twelve-homes in the division we're at - still we bought with the pretense of making it real nice, we've all invested a lot of money, sprinkler systems, lawns - we are here to stay. I'm.here to protest, I would be very dissatisfied. I appreciate you're listening." Bonnie Cravens, 2633 N.W. 13th: "We have a 1500 sq. foot home and we were the first home built in the Subdivision. We are very proud to be there and we would like to have the homes of good quality. Hcxnes under 999 sq. feet are a little small-for a Subdivision, like has been started. out there. There are some very nice homes out there and just because it's going to cost somebody else more money to move in- we have all had to pay the cost - that's why we chose the Sub - that's why we took the sq. feet and everything like that because we were willing to pay the cost. Because we were willing to pay the cyst and we wanted a nice Subdivision, I don't see why anyone else should come in and say'"I can't pay the cost so you have to lower your standards". As far as tract homes. being built out there, Mr. Leavitt, who is building out there right now, has five homes and they are all identical except they have flip-flopped the garage. I've toured the homes personally, the window lines are different-the roof lines may be different - but, they are basically the same type of home. So we already have five "tract homes" out there now. Mr. Anderson said that he wasn't going to push the idea of a tract home - well, Mr. Leavitt already has five out there. I think Meridian needs more subdivisions with higher standards like Cherry Lane Village, Sunnybrook, etc. and I would like to see Meridian Park Subdivision be one of them. Thank ~. ~~ Larry Jones: "I just recently bought a house about a month ago in Sheri Lynn Sub, which is right next to Plleridian Park and I would imagine that the housesthey are ta7JQng about building are going to be right in my back yard. I don't think it is right that I buy a nice house that I have worked hard for - I've waited quite a few years. to buy this house - to make it easier for everybody else. I struggled for awhile - why doesn't everybody else have to have a nice home, that's what I wanted." Alan Anderson: "I'm with Trite-Riedel, I deal with marketing houses. I'm also representing my father and his Canpany in Meridian Park. The tract houses being built out there right now are not tract houses - tract house are where you have one right next to the other and they are all the same thing. I think Bryant mixed his up, putsome bricks on and cedar siding:-.and that's something not seen in a tract house Subdivision. My own personal impression is that they have much more appeal than the ones in Sheri Lynn Sub. as far as aesthetics go. I don't know if you keep tract of the interest rates but the interest rates, fortunately, have declined - there's more money avai.lable`. For those people having a hard time affording hc3uses that are in the middle and upper incomerange, the only thing we can do is compensate by building a smaller sq. footage house and, we're not building 900 sq. foot houses. There's two (2) lots. in here designated for 900 sq. foot allocation and both of those are 1050 sq. foot houses on them, they are already taken - so there won't be anything under probably 1000 sq.-feet. If we don'tget this through it could be a weed patch, unti.I who knows when,:because the interest rates will go back up again. When the opportunity is there we have to do what we .can or lose out. The alternative for these builders who have their plans'are`to cheapen the quality of the house and build them to meet the sq. footage requirements. That is going to cause more problems, effecting the value of your house, than a smaller quality built house." LeeAnn Bright: "We have been approved to build a house out there. When we picked our original lot out there it was a 1200 sq. foot lot. Our house is going to be 1100 sq. foot so we had to pick a second lot which is in the same subdivision but it will hold the 1100. sq. foot .home. We would rather have our original lot, that's why we would like-.this to be changed or a variance put on it. But, it is in the same Subdivision, in fact it's just down the street.. My brother has also picked a lot in the same subdivision that will hold 1100 sq. foot home. It is in the same Subdivision - it isn't that we have to go to another Subdivision." i Meridian City Hall .5. October 18, 1982 Agenda 4 (Cont'd) MERIDIAN PARK SUB. SQ. FOOTAGE REQUIREN~I~iTS.......... Quinten Cravens: "We really. like our 1500 sq. foot house out there and this does upset me. I would rather have a weed patch than a junk car in front of each house and if this does pass there is going to be a "for sale" sign up as soon as it does." Bruce Harrold: "I am one of the residents.. of Meridian Park. I would like to say the homes out there now are nice houses. I think a house 1100 sq. feet are nice homes - I don't have any problem with those. The only problem I see is that they say there is only two (2) houses scheduled for less than 1000 sq. feet. The covenants originally,,when we bought our place, stated there would be no houses under 900 sq. feet in Meridian Park. And, there's a layout of percentage system with different size of sq. footage houses that should go in so there would be a nice mixture of homes. There. are already supposed to be a mixture of at least ten percent (100) prob- ably, of homes that are in the 1000's to 11.00 sq. foot. Another percentage from that up to 1200 to 1300 sq. feet. I guess the thing is, if evexything is reduced 100 sq. feet our .percentage for small homes would increase. .I think Meridian ought to consider the long range aspects of the program a little bit better now since it's going to pay a lot~more in property tax. Interest rates are high and I think there is very little building going on right now, the only building going on is FHA-235 and as soon as that money cuts loose-eve have taken quite a few of those homes out there and I'm not opposed to that - but, I think there are a lot of other Subdivisions in the Valley that are in the same-shape that-our developers are out there. There are a lot of Subdivisions in the area that can accomodate 1000 sq. foot homes - 900 sq. foot homes -that are available in our conamanity. So, I would say I am opposed to reducing the sq. footage 100 feet in the long run." Bob Anderson: "I venture to say that if you took a poll here in this room, you would find that most of the people are driving a smaller car - if you ask them why it would be the same reason that I gave you for these homes. Honda advertises on TV that they are the highest percentage automobile sold in Ada County. They are not the biggest, i:hey are selling quality, selling a product that they say is more economical, costs less to run. I'm not a Honda salesman, don't drive one and don't intend to. My point is that the Crysler automobile, the big Itctperial, is in the junk yard and people.-are driving smaller cars. I think the inference that whoever is going to build a new home is going to bring their junk car withii'en,i I don't believe that's going. to happen. There is already restrictive oovenants against that particular thing in the Subdivision. It is a parallel, a very real parallel .of difference, in size and quality, the automobile, industry has it's problem today -related to this problem today. In fact, I would venture to say 50% of their problem is that they have maintained we've got to sell bigger and better while our Japanese friends built the small one." Mike Gifford: "The home I'm going .to purchase, at the buying price that I bought it for, when FHA appraised it, it appraised higher than the price I agreed to buy it for. And, I don't want a junk car. either." Mayor Glaisyer: "I will close the hearing." City Attorney, Wayne Crookston, stated that'the Finding of Facts and Conclusions would need to be prepared. Councilman Kingsford read hi.s comment "It bothers me that because there is HLID-money available we are allowing the low end sq. foot~ai.se of every subdivision to be built on -next, the developers will want to change the percentages on the low end: Once those houses are built we will have them for a hundred years -vacant lots can still have ~ houses built on them ne~et year or the year after..." Kingsford also .stated "addi.tionally in Ordinance 416 repealing the part on 1350 sq. foot houses, Section:E, talks of Meridian should gear their houses including the HUD housing inventory and housing goals and the Meridian Comprehensive Plat. I don't feel reducing sq. footage of ,houses in our subdivisions will comply with that." Councilman Orton: "Wayne, this would either rea-,;re modifying our Ordinance or varying from our Ordinance?" Attorney Crookston: "That's correct." Orton: "Can we vary in that particular Ordinance?" Attorney Crookston:: "You can grant a variance." Councilman. Brewer: "I would not have a problem with this if it were a brand new subdivision. I can't help but feel from the testimony here tonight that we are changing horses in the middle of the stream.-when these people have made investments under'a given understanding -and now we are trying to .maybe make a change on them. I have_a real problem on that issue." 1 ' • v • Meridian City Hall .6. October 18, 1982 Agenda 4 (Cunt' d) N1ERmIAN PARK SUB . SQ . FOOTAGE REQUIRF~!'S ........ . Councilman Kingsford: "With regard to the twp parties that testified in favor of reducing the sq. footage. I wouldn':t have a particular objection to those lots being switched -that would accomodate your houses -that's not our intent. ,My concern is to allow those on the low end. Im personally against that." The Motion was made by Brewer and.. seconded by Kingsford to deny the muLUraun sq. footage reglu.rements request for Meridian Park Subdivision. There was discussion concerning the rule of Finding of Facts and Conclusion of Law. City Attorney Crookstgn stated that ev g has to be allowed under that act. "They .are. asking for a variance in statuwhich is a zoning matter. This minimum sq. footage requirement ordinance would be a zoning ordinance. It is still an action that falls within the procedures under the Local Land Use and Plann;ng ACt,° "S~hether'you deny it or not you still have to have Finding of Facts and Conclusion of .Law stating why you denied it - it does not only apply to approval." Brewer withdrew the Motion, Kingsford withdrew the second to the Motion. Motion withdrawn. The Motion was made by Kingsford and seconded by Brewer to instruct the City Attorney to draw up Findings. of Fact and Conclusion of Law regarding the request of N~IAN PARK SUBDIVISION mininn~ttn square footage requirement reduction. Motion Carried: Kingsford, yea; Tolsma, yea; Brewer, yea; Orton, yea The Finding of Facts and Conclusion of Law was explained to the public by Councilman Kingsford. This matter will be placed on the November 1st , 1982 Agenda, regular meeting of the City Council. ~. Agenda LIlVDER Il~IDUSTRIAL PARK INPUT REGARDING CONSTRUCTION - CANCELLID 5 Agenda RENT BARNEY - CRERRY LANE VILLAGE TNPUT REGARDING RETIREI~~E,NT C~N'I'ER CONCEPT.. 6 Kent Barney, Pat Quinney and-Bruce Jeppsen were present for Council input on their concept for construction of a retirement center in Cherry Lane Village. Drawings. were presented. Barney stated a similar concept is being worked on in Sandy Ci:ty~-Utah, and they felt it would be good for the area; Bruce Jeppsen stated that this is a new idea; provides health care and social life for Senior Citizens; their architect, Ken Stevenson and Associates, has been involved in nursing homes in the Utah area and surrounding states for 20'years and has developed a concept for senior ci.ti:zen needs;.. this is called a "Living Center" and not like a conval- escent care center or nursing home; however, there is a 26 bed facility nursing cen part of this unit;`there is an apartmoxit concept, one and two bedroom; . gard. space; all conveniences for-the people could be served right-there; higher security and access to medical care in a very short time from a full time staff; the other projects they have taken 20 to 30 ages around. the center for homes that would fit with senior eitizen needs; their intent is not to isolate senior citizens ~':~. as there.would be childrens``??layground to accomodate adjoining neighborhoods; small medical facility would aer<ri~ community not limited to senior citizens; quality construction; senior citizens can take, part in all, any or none of the services but if they need. nursing service it is`'there, and connected by a breezeway. Jeppsen: "Our first purpose is to find out how you feel about this concept and if you feel good about i_t we, would like to go ahead and do a preliminary study on it. The second i.s the possibility of Industrial Revenue Bonds." Mayor Glaisyer: "In answer to the Industrial Revenue Bonder - it will be on the ballot in November and if it!s~ passed -what",.three-fourtwis of the population? - it~s going to take some time to get it within the realm of adoption." Jeppsen stag that this is not dependent on IRB -this is of highest quality and tYie thing that helps them out is the lower the interest rate,"the lower price they can charge" ~ . Barney stated that Jim Fuller, adjoining landowner, was excited about the concept and has no problem making land available. ~ ~ Meridian City Hall .7. October 18, 1982 Agenda 6 (Cont'd) CHERRY LANE V.LLLAGE IlvPUT REGARDING RETIRIIv~NT CIIVTER CONCEPT............ Wallace Lovan, Cherry Lane Golf Course Manager, was not opposed to it but Barney had not contacted Nu-Pacific or the Homeowners Association. There was discussion concerning-the concept. Kingsford stated that he felt this was very expensive property with fairways around it, etc., to-place a facility such as this. The open space could be better used and less. expensive and not so far out. Jeppsen stated a shuttle bus could be part of the plan for transporation. Barney stated he thought they were not locked in on the placement of the Golf Course Greens. It was concluded that. this would require a Conditional Use or Planned Unit DeveloFxnent and that the Homeowners Association should be contacted before proce~7isig with study. Jeppsen thanked the Council for their input and stated that he also appreciated the negative .thoughts as well so that they may- use toward any study.

KINfiSFORD BILL SKEWER RICHARD F. ORTON, JR. RONALD R. TOLSMA ANNETTE C. HINRICHB CI-almwn Zoning a PlannMB The City of Meridian has worked diligently for nnre than a year to oQnplete its "Year 2000 Meridian Transportation Plan,"' with the assistance Of the Ada Planning Association staff. The City considered the transportation plan c~nplete and ready for adoption until Erv Olen, P.E., Principal Planner, Ada Planning Association advised the Council during our City Council Meeting of September 7, 1982, that a planning boundary referred to in Draft 2 of the Meridian Transportation Plan as the "Transportation Resource Planning Area" was being interpretEd by the APA as being the "Urban Bounckzry Line" used to determine the appli- cation of federal funding. 7.b expedite approval of Meridian's Transportation Plan, we are clarifying once again, as has been done previously at City Council meetings and Transportation Carmittee meetings that the "Trans- portation Resource Planning Area" was designated by the Meridian Transportation Planning Catmittee for the purpose of the city's long range transportation planning process and not for det~ern~ining federal funding. It is our understanding that the "Urban Boundary Line" on the enclosed Urban Area Map (last revised on July 21, 1980), is the official boundary used by the Federal Highway Administration, State of Idaho, Departrn~.nt of Transportation, Division of Highways and ACRD, in determining the type of federal funds applicable for specific improvernnts (FAP, FAS or Urban) . The following should further clarify the issue (and confusion) as to transportation boundaries: ~ • Mr. Vern IIneYy Page -2- October 18, 1982 1. The City of Meridian intends to use the "Urban Boundary Line" as shown on the official ITD Urban Area Map to determine Meridian's urban boun+dazy for transportation Purposes (futxlirig) . The only revisions would be the addition of those areas annexed since data was provided for this official map. 2. The "Transportation Resource Planning Area" (so called purple line) is for reference only to indicate the area of influence to Meridian's continuing transportation planning process. Refer t+o the Federal High- way Ariministration manual knoHm as the Federal Aid Highway Program, Volume 4, Chapter 6, Section 3, Page 3, Item C (see enclosed). "Urban area boundaries are fixed primarily for capital project fiu~dinq ar~d are not to be wrifused with boundaries established for the ocmprehensive, cooperative and cx~ntinuing urban transportation Planning Process. 3. References in Draft 2 of the Meridian Transportation Plan that arterials, collectors or local streets are rural when outside that boaandaxy are incorrect and not the intent of the plan. We hope this information helps in alleviating the confusion aver the boundaries used in the Meridian Transportation Plan and will expedite its approval. Sincerely, Joseph L.

Sacht, P.E., District Engineer, Idaho Division of Highways Meridian City Council Msnbers Meridian Transportation Planning Coamittee M®nbers File t1~r-non October 18, 1982 Honorable Mayor and City Council Meridian, Idaho Gentlemen: On September 14, 1982 I submitted a request to the City of Meridian for permission to complete the development on a reduced number of lots, within Phase I of Meridian Place Subdivision, so I could market 10 lots and building permits could be granted by Merid3i.an City. On October 7, 1982, Meridian City Engeneer, Mr. Gary Smith, submitted to the Mayor and City Council some conditions that he recommended before acceptance of the reduced area. These conditions have all been met and all development is completed, except for the laying of the asphalt mat, which should be completed within the next two days. In light of the completion of all work requested I here-by petition the Mayor and City Council to accept the reduced portion of Phase I, Meridian Place Subdivision, subject to the paving being completed satisfactorily and meeting all elevation requirements. Further I here-by WARRANT AND GUARRANTEE all work in the accepted portion of Phase I, Meridian Place Subdivision, for a period of one year from the date of acceptance by Meridian City. Said reduced area is comprised of; Jericho Way from the North boundary of Lot 6, Block 5, South on Jericho Way to where Meridian Place intersects with Settlers Village Subdivision, and on Willow Brook Drive from the West boundary of Lot 8, Block 5, Easterly to include the Culdesac. This would allow construction on Lots 11 thru 17 of Block 1 and Lots 6 thru 8 of Block 5. Thank you for your consideration, Sin ely, Earl L. Harmon, Pres. Ada West Properties, Init. ~-~ ~ P.O.
