Linder Park Industrial Annexation Hearing - TABLED until 10-14-80 Meridian Planning and Zoninq September 8, 1980 Regular meeting called to order by Chairman Don Sharp at 8:05 p.m. Members present: Lee Mitchell, Burl Pipkin, Bob Spencer Others present: Walter Morrow and Ken Montee Minutes of the previous meeting were approved as read. Agenda 1 Linder Park Industrial Annexation Hearing Walt Morrow and Ken Ftontee were present, representing property owners L. Marvin Peterson, Seth R. Nettleton, Bill Howell, Ted Ratigan, Boyd Baxter, Walt Morrow and Ron Van Auker. The property, 127 acres, lies west of Linder, north of Franklin, south of the railroad tracks. Maps were displayed. The corner property of Bud Persons is not included as Persons wants "C" zoning. Udell has 2 acres and did not want to be included. Don Bowers was not approached. Van Auker owns property on a contract behind Don Bowers. Morrow stated they want to get the project annexed and underway so that they can approach prospective buyers for future actual development and use. Morrow displayed a rough concept plan with engress-egress points landscaping and bums along major highway (W. Franklin). He presented preliminary restrictive covenants to insure that they get the clean type of industry. They are after two to four major users and develop around their needs - take the remainder of land and develop into small one acre lots, or larger, for support industries. There are seven property owners in agreement to pursue the project. They have set up design review so each building or each project will be reviewed on an individual basis and rigidly controlled. Ron Van Auker has indicated interest in a large parcel for two major users. Montee stated Van Auker is well known for his ability and contacts fora light clean industry. Morrow stated the type of industry in mind would not burden water and sewer. If there's access of a ramp off of Ten Mile, this would enhance the Industrial Park. The distance from Linder down W. Franklin to the end of property is a little over one-half mile. A railroad spur would be put in to service major industries. Montee explained water and sewer connections - sewer would be gravity flow, except for one section that would require a private pump station. The Comprehensive Plan and strip industrial was discussed. Morrow stated that low cost subsidized housing is the only type of housing that is built along railroad tracks or major transportation area. Morrow presented figures on low cost housing and stated that he had talked to the Assessor and the total net worth on the Industrial would project 85 million developed and finished. One million, on hundred five thousand (1,105.00) per year taxable revenue. The city would only realize- 325,000 per year, taxable on $50,000.00 value homes. Meridian already has all the subsidized housing it needs. There was much discussion about the creation of an enclave. The Commission was concerned of the Bud Person property that had been denied annexation as commercial, Nid corner of Franklin and Linder. It was their feeling that the Person property would be acceptable for limited office, family fitness center or something of this nature. Pipkin stated that if all properties (enclaves) would be made to understand the Commission is interested in the whole package, as opposed to parcels, then it would make it more feasible to get the cooperation that Linder Park representatives need. Mitchell expressed concern of the "open patches that creates problems for the fire department - to respond to a fire and there would happen to be no fire hydrant and they should have brought a pumper - the police, when it should have been the Sheriff. He stated the Commission is here to help the city and to serve as a buffer between the developer and the City Council. Sharp questioned the intentions of going ahead with development. "At this point of ti me, there has been ~ good property, at good locations and good locations for industry annexed and yet nothing is happening. Are we in here to just help the speculators, or trying to perform a service to the public. 4lhy go out and annex another parcel of ground, a ~~ M 'ri' Planninn anri 7nnina 2 September B, 1980 send a policeman out periodically to check it out, if we are notgoin9 to see anything happening." Sharp suggested a pre-annexation agreement. Morrow stated, "A problem with pre-annexation of this parcel is that Industries make their decisions on facts and figures - they are not willing to commit to something unless they know exactly what they are buying. Quite frankly; industries have been burned very badly by pre-annexation agreements with City Councils, with any type of governing agencies - industry is stand-offish until you have a package to offer them. They want to know what we have to offer them - we are competing for his development." ~~ Montee stated, There is a developer that has shown interest in taking half of the property. This fell apart because he didn't want to buy it until it was properly zoned. There is quite an interest of people capable of developing. Van Auker was very opti- mistic and was sure he could get two users to take most of the property. Van Auker's develooements were described as all good clean industry, he has the capability to market projects," Morrow stated. Sharp stated the city needs this industry, that he approved of the location being along the railroad track, but was concerned about the road interchange - too much industry to the west may force a Ten P1ile interchange, and may prevent the Eagle Rd. interchange. There was more discussion concerning landlocked parcels. Spencer stated, "If they :are going to annex Linder Park, I want 'all the other annexed too," (enclaves). Chairman Sharp called for public comment. There was none. The P4otion was made by Mitchell and seconded by Spencer to table the Linder Park Annex- ation "D" Industrial request until the October 14, 1980 Planning and Zoning meeting. Motion Carried: All yea. Hearing closed. The h1otion was made by Pipkin and seconded by Mitchell that the meeting be adjourned at 8:57 p.m. Motion Carried: All yea. r 7 Chairman ~/ /~ '- ) i G'ty Jerk c: Mayor Council Clerk Treasurer P&Z Hein Attorney Bruce Vern Earl J-U-B Fire Chief Ada County Commissioners ACHD Ada County Zoning Director APA AIC Central District Health Nampa-Meridian Irrigation Ray Sotero
