Dear Mr. Nieman Rey Public Hearing on the Treasure Yalley
Business Center - July 9, 1984
I own the property immediately accross Fairview Ave. from the
property owned by Upland Industries. My property begins at jzhe
halfmile mark between Locust Grove Rd. and Eagle Rd. and goes a
quarter mile to the east and joins the JMK Farms property, all on
the North side of Fairview.
I would really like to attend the hearing on July 9~ but we
now live here in Dallas, Texas. I did attend when the property
was rezoned and taken into the city of Meridian and my feelings
concerning the changes proposed are the same.
Upland Industries does excellent work and all of their
developments are a credit to their company and an asset to the
valley. They have the financial ability and the expertise to do
an excellent job in a short period of time.
I have discussed the proposed development with Mr. Lloyd Howe
and I approove. Please read this letter into the record as in
favour of the proposed development.

Planning and Zoning Commission
728 Meridian Road
Meridian, ID 83642
Dear Commission Members,
We are submitting this letter for the hearing of the U.P. request
for the preliminary and final plats of the development known as Treasure
Valley Business Center. The hearing on July 9, 1984 at 7:30 ~.M. is in
conflict with our planned vacation and we will be out of town.
We own 20 acres and part of it borders U.P. property that is before
you for zoning. The following are points of concern that we have reguarding
the development of this property.
1. We protest any railroad track along the border of our property.
2. We protest the diversion or covering of the natural stream that
is also used as a canal. Said stream known as Settlers.
The stream has many wild birds along it.
The stream is a natural creek that flows year around.
The stream is a stopover for wild ducks in the winter, and
many local ducks nest along the stream.
The stream is also home for different species oP fish.
3. We would prefer a lake with an improved area that would attract
business buildings rather than an industrial area. Park Center
in Boise could be a model for such a project.
4. If you do consider approval, we prefer that you approve one
small area at a time and not the total property owned by U.P.,
and that you sincerely consider the surrounding property. It
would not be acceptable for industry.
5• We are concerned that our property will ba locked in with no
roads available for developing our property. Our property
- could become one of the hundreds of pieces of property in
Ada County that will or can never be developed. This problem
was pointed out by the Ada County Planning and Zoning Commission,
that "Islands" of property lie within developed areas. The
reason being poor planning at the beginning of a large development.
6. We are concerned that our irrigation ditches and irrigation
water may be disrupted by this development. We need our water
for our cows and horses.
7. A connecting road between Boise and Meridian may never come
about is this total area is developed as planned with a rail-
road track. Meridian and Boise have an excellent opportunity
to have an additional connecting commuter road between the
two cities by connecting Pine St. and ESnerald.
tf
Thank you for your kind consideration of our concerns. ~~ yl

BEFORE THE MERIDIAN PLANPIING AND ZONING COB'L?ISSION
UPLAND INDUSTRIES APPLICATION
TO AMEND THE MERIDIAN
COP?PREHENSIVE PLAN
FINDINGS OF FACT AT_dD CONCLUSIONS
The above entitled application to amend the r~leridian
sive Plan having come on for public hearing and the Planning and
Zoning Conunission having held a workshop on said application, and
the Commission having heard any and all testimony that was subrmitte
and having duly considered the evidence and its own opinions and
the matter, the Planning and Zoning Commission makes the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. That notice of the public hearing on the application was
published for two (2) consecutive weeks prior to the said public
hearing scheduled for July 5, 1984, the first publication of which
was fifteen (15) days prior to said hearing; that the matter was
duly considered at the July 5, 1984, hearing and was duly consider
by the Planning and Zoning Commission at its workshop held July 9,
1984, at 6:30 o'clock p.ml., which was a special meeting duly
noticed and announced publicly at the public hearing held July 5,
1984; that copies of all notices were available to newspapers,
and radio and television stations.
2. That the property included in the application and the

exact nature of the application is set forth in the application and
II • •
by this reference is incorporated herein as if set forth in full;
that the property lies generally in the Southeast quadrant of the
intersection of Fairview Avenue and Eagle Road; that, in summary,
the application is to designate the site as a regional shopping
center site and to remove the residential reserve designation as
presently contained in the Comprehensive Plan.
3. That the land concerned in the application is contained
within the City limits; that it is presently zoned industrial and
not commercial; that the Comprehensive Plan presently designates
the area within which the land is contained as the °'Eastern
Industrial Review Area."
4. That at the public hearing held July 5, 1984, at 7:30
o'clock p. m., there was no public comment, either oral or written,
on the application.
5. That the petitioner sets forth as reasons. why the
Comprehensive Plan should be amended as set forth in its applica-
tion the following:
1. The condition and situation which warrants the change
being made in the Plan is that the City of Peridian
and its surrounding area are not served by a Regional
Shopping Center and that the property belonging to the
Petitioner is amenable to development of a Regional
Shopping Center with outstanding representation by
major department stores, specialty stores and services
for the residents of the City of Meridian and the
surrounding region. The land in question has heretofore
been annexed into the City of Meridian.

The public need for and benefit from such a change in
the Comprehensive Plan would generally be to:
(A) Provide for the orderly growth of the City of
Meridian and its environs;
(B) Make readily available to the residents of the
City of Meridian a wide range o£ store and shopping
facilities and services that can only be furnished
by a Regional Shopping Center;
(C) To attract to the City of P~4eridian and generate
within the City a large volume of business that
would result from the location within the City of
a Regional Shopping Center of adequate size to
serve the entire Treasure Valley and metropolitan
market;
(D) The current designation of a single site for a
proposed regional shopping center within the City
of Meridian has been in effect for several years.
The property though designated has not proven
adequate to attract the major retailers necessary
to support the development of a regional shopping
center. It is probable that the northern Ada
County area in which the City of Meridian is
situate is one of the largest metropolitan markets
in the entire nation not presently served by a
Regional Shopping Center. The size of the
population within the metropolitan area and the
trade area would indicate that given a suitable
location for a Regional Shopping Center, the major
retail stores necessary to make up the development
of such Regional Shopping Center would hasten to
enter the market. Upland Industries Corporation
submits that the site at the intersection of
Fairview Avenue and Eagle Road will be able to
attract these major retail stores and that the
Regional Shopping Center can equally become a
reality. It is apparent by reason of the inability
of the presently designated sites and of the
IIoise Re-Development Administration to attract
establishment of a Regional Shopping Center either
at these other sites or in the downtown Boise area,
that the major retail firms have not found those
other 1oca.tions to be adequate for their needs.

7, That there is no regional shopping center actually in

COPdCLUSIONS
1. That the City has authority to amend its Comprehensive
Flan pursuant to Title 67, Chapter 65, Idaho Code, and pursuant
to the Amendment Provisions and Procedures of the Comprehensive
Plan of Peridian, as amended April 2, 19 a4,
2. That all notices and hearing requirements set forth in
Title 67, Chapter 65, Idaho Code, the Ordinances of the City of
Meridian, and the Comprehensive Plan have been complied with.
3. That the application itself meets the requirements of
an application to amend the Comprehensive Plan; that is, it con
the statements required by Paragraph 6 under the Amendment Provi-
sions and Procedures, beginning on Paae 54 of the Plan.
4. That the Commission may take judicial notice of govern-
mental statutes, ordinances, and policies, and of actual conditions
existing within the City, County, and State.
5. That the Planning and Zoning Commission`s purpose at this
stage of the proceedings in processing and deciding a Comprehensive
Plan Amendment is to determine whether the proposed amendment
merits further study.

tries to amend the Meridian Comprehensive Plan merits further study.

clusion to be construed in any fashion to indicate development as
