January 9, 1 GROUND WATER STUDY PROPOSAL6 PERTAINING TO SOUTHWEST AREA 1/9/78 1970 -Idaho Department of Water Administration reported nitrate levels in the Boise-Nampa ground water area to be high. (Data was taken before many of the septic tanks in Ada County were installed.) Nitrate pollution was assumed to be from natural and agricultural sources. 1971 -Bureau of Reclamation began water sampling program of Boise River below Lucky Peak Dam as part of a Southwest Idaho Water iVlanagement Study. No ground water monitoring was done. 1972 -Idaho Department of Water Administration recommended: 1) a sampling program be initiated to monitor water of shallow ground waters of Boise-Nampa Area; 2) a detailed hydrologic study of the deep ground water be made of that part which lies beneath lowlands of Boise Valley. 1972 - U. S. Soil Conservation Service recommended either central sewage facilities or backfilling of the filter field with filter material of septic tanks a particular subdivision of the Southwest. (Soils in the area of the subdivision have severe limitation for septic tank filter fields.) 1973 -Septic tank usage study in Ada and Canyon Counties, Dr. Leland 1llink. Survey confirmed suspicion in area with higher water table have high potential for contamination of shallow ground waters. However, the position of test wells and laboratory analysis of samples were questioned by Central and Southwest Health Districts. 1973 - ACOG adopted policy as part of the Ada County Water Quality D/anagement Plan re: discharge of storm drainage water into irrigation systems or natural water courses which feed into those systems. (Policy was quoted as per Southwest developments contiguous to the New York Canal.) November 1973 -February 1974 Controversy between the Southwest Subdivision Developers, A-95 Review Process, and ACOG staff. Potential impacts of septic tank drainage on shallow ground waters and irrigation drainage systems were discussed. 1974 - U. S. Geological Survev of Stream and Ground Water Flows of Boise River Valley. Survey sampled surface water and stream flows and monitored ground water levels. Focus of Study: 1. Quality and flow of surface water were analyzed. 2. Flow of ground water levels were determined. (No analysis was done of the quality of the ground waters.) 1975 - U. S. Geological Survey of State Water Resources. Data print out of test wells in Ada County was done in 1976, and different levels of ground water contamination were noted. Test wells were scattered throughout Ada County, and to-date, the collected data has not yet been analyzed. Ground Water Study January 9, 1978 Page Two 1975 -Ada/Canyon County 208 Waste Treatment Project was initiated. (As funded by Federal legislation of the Clean Water Act) 1976 (August) - 208 Project recommended initiating in Ada and Canyon Counties the following: 1) ground water monitoring program and 2) an operation and maintenance program for septic tanks. (Public workshops were held on the proposals.) 1976 - U S Geological Survey of Shallow and Deep Ground Waters of County (south of the New York Canal, City of Kuna, and western Elmore County) . High nitrate contamination of three test wells was found in the Kuna area. It was discovered that ground water of the study area moves generally to the South and Southwest. Survey recommendation: 1) Aground water monitoring program be initiated. 2) Hydrological study be made of deep ground waters. 1977 - (February) 208 Project Report Of 238,000 people of Ada and Canyon Counties, 95,000 or 42% are on septic tanks. Potential impacts of septic tanks on shallow ground waters were raised. Ground water monitoring program and operation and maintenance program for septic tanks should be initiated for Ada and Canyon Counties. 1977 - (flay) -Central and Southwest Health Districts stated that the above programs were premature and should be revised. 1977 - (July) -Bureau of Reclamation Water Quality Study of Shallow Ground LVaters of Boise Valley. Focus: to identify effects of septic tanks on shallow ground water and irri- gation systems. Several test wells have been drilled near subdivisions of Westgate (North of Interstate, West Boise) and Sherman Oaks (Southwest Study Area) . Preliminary data indicates possible forms of contamination of test wells. Data collection will continue for several years. January 3, 1978 -Ada County Planning Commission recommended that the 208 Project septic tank policies be adopted by BOCC which included a maintenance and operation program for individual septic tanks of Ada County. Meridian Planning & Zoning .8. January 9, 19'78 WHAT FACTORS HAVE CAUSED THE WA'[ ER QUALITY QUESTION TO BE RAISED? 1. Number of septic tanks in the Southwest Area; 2. Lack of data regarding water quality; 3. Soil condition of Southwest Ax•ea; 4. High water ground water especially during spring and summer and the existing,extensive drainage systems; 5. The strong lateral movement of the shallow acquifer (SE to NW direction); 6. Large lot development patterns which makes for high costs of installation of central sewage systems; 7. Omission of the Southwest Area from the Boise Metropolitan Sewer Plan; and 8. The limited capacity of the Owyhee Sewer District. 12/13/77 i • January 9. 1 1/9/78 SOUTHWEST S'i'UDY OUTLINE exploration of Alternate Development Proposals for Southwest Area September -December, 1977 ~- Public Information Illtg November 8/16, 1977 December 15 , 1977 Ada County Planning Commission Workshops Ada County Planning Commission's Public Hearings: Jan. 5/19, 1978 Boise Air Terminal Deadline for Written RIaster Plan Public Testimony Re: Southwest Hearing: Jan. 24, 1978 Jan. 24, 1978 BOCC Review of Planning Commission Recommendation BOCC Public Hearing Re: Southwest Development BOCC Policy Recommendation for the Southwest Development Joint Water Quality Meeting with CDH , BOC , ACPC , USGS , WR December 22, 1977 Objectives: 1.

BOISE AIR TERMINAL MASTER PLAN Due to the expansion needs of the Boise Municipal Airport (BMA) , a Master Plan is in the progress to determine the expansion needs as well as impacts of the proposed expansion to the surrounding lands. Since both the BMA Master Pian and the Southwest Study Area are proceeding concurrently and since the airport does and will significantly impact portions of the Southwest Study Area, policies of the Master Plan will be incor- porated within the Southwest Study. Be advised that policies of the BMA Master Plan are only preliminary at this time and therefore may change before the .Southwest Study is completed. Also, boundaries of the areas where airport policies apply are not finalized and may change at the time the final Southwest policies are adopted. PAR'P III . PLANNING AREA DEFINITIONS FOR THE SOUTHWEST STUDY AREA Because the Southwest Study Area offers diverse land use opportunities and has complex and diverse land use problems , it is undesirable and unwise to address the Southwest oppor- tunities and problems with universal developmental density policies. Thus, it is the recommendation of the Ada County Planning Commission that the Southwest Study Area be subdivided into the following special planning areas that have the following boundaries: Overland Airport Influence Planning Area Beginning where Cole Road intersects with Interstate 80N , thence proceeding south on Cole Road to Cole Road intersection of the New York Canal, thence proceeding along the New York Canal until it intersects with South Orchard Street, thence proceeding northernly along South Orchard to its intersection with Interstate 80N, thence proceeding north and west along Interstate 80N until its intersection with Cole Road . Maple Grove Planning Area Beginning where Cole Road intersects with Interstate 80N, thence proceeding south on Cole Road to its intersection with the New York Canal, thence proceeding along the New York Canal to its intersection with the section line of Amity Road, thence proceeding west along Amity Road section line and Amity Road to Amity Road's intersection with Cloverdale Road , thence proceeding north along Cloverdale Road to its intersection with Interstate 80N , thence proceeding easterly along Interstate 80N to its intersection with Cole Road.. Lake Hazel Planning Area Beginning at the point where Cloverdale Aoad intersects with Amity Road , thence pro- ceeding south on Cloverdale Road to its intersection with Columbia Road , thence pro- ceeding east on Columbia Road to its intersection with the Moore Lateral, thence pro- ceeding along the Moore Lateral until its intersection with the New York Cansl, thence proceeding along the New York Canal until it intersects with Lake Hazel Road, thence proceeding east along the section line of Lake Hazel Road to its intersection with the Curtis Road section line , thence proceeding north along the Curtis Road section line to its inter- section with the New York Canal, thence following the New York Canal until it intersects with Amity Road , thence proceeding west along Amity Aoad to its intersection with Cloverdale Road. .. Southwest Rangeland and Airport Area Beginning at the point South Orchard intersects with Interstate 80N, thence proceeding southeasternly along the Interstate until its intersection with the section line extension of Columbia Road, thence proceeding westwardly along the section line extension of Columbia Road until it intersects with the New York Canal> thence proceeding along the New York Canal until its intersection with the section line extension of Lake Hazel Road, thence proceeding east along the section line extension of Lake Hazel Road to its inter- section with the Curtis Road section line , thence proceeding north along the Curtis Road section line to its intersection with the New York Canal, thence proceeding northernly along the New York Canal to its intersection with South Orchard Road, thence proceeding north along South Orchard Road to its intersection with Interstate 80N. PART IV . POLICY RECOMMENDATION WHICH ADDRESSES THE SOUTHWEST MORITORIUM DEADLINE OF FEBRUARY 14, 1978 In response to the Southwest Study Area Moritorium Deadline of February 14, 1978, the Ada County Planning Commission recommends that all development and rezone appli- cations be held until the ordinances are finalized to implement the stated policies in this document, and the impact areas of the City of Meridian and the City of Boise are finalized. The Ada County Planning Commission makes the above recommendation based on the following reasons: 1. A significant portion of the land within the Southwest Study has been claimed by both the impact areas of the cities of Meridian and Boise . 2. A time period is needed for the resulting negotiations between Ada County and the cities of Meridian and Boise in order that the common territorial claim might be resolved, and their municipal impact areas might be finalized by June 30, 1978, as is stated in the Idaho Land Use Planning Act. 3. A significant part of the land of the Southwest Study Area is impacted by the Boise Air Terminal, and the policies of the Boise Air Terminal Master Plan are still in a developmental phase with an initial public hearing scheduled for January 24, 1978. 4. Existing public services are being overburdened by both the past and present pace of development. 5. Additional time is needed after February 14, 1978 to establish the ordinances to implement the development policies which will be set by the Board of Ada County Commissioners . 6. The present efforts by the Ada County Planning Commission and Ada Planning Association staff has been a study of the Southwest Study Area and there has not been sufficient time to effect a comprehensive plan which addresses the m lex land use o ortuni ' PART V . INTENDED DEVELOPMENT POLICY GOAL FOR SOUTHWEST AREA Ada County intends to allow suburban development in the planning areas of Maple Grove and Lake Hazel at a phased, incremental pace for the following reasons: 1. The land within the Maple Grove and Lake Hazel Planning Areas has been either significantly developed or rezoned for development. r 2. The majority of the development of the above planning areas is contiguous to the City of Boise. 3. The above planning areas have experienced a rapid growth of population between 1970 and the present to that of approximately 12,000 people. 4. There has been much pressure for, as well as, burdens placed upon the public services of schools, roads, fire and police protection, sewers, and water systems. 5. A concern has risen by the public as well as public agencies of the potential impacts that the Southwest development has on the quality of the ground water ~y - acquifers of the above planning areas. Meridian Planning & Zoning .15. January 9, 199$ PART VI . RECOMMENDED DEVELOPMENT POLICIES FOR THE SOUTHWEST STUDY PLANNING AREA5 Overland Airport Influence Planning Area (Airport Area 3) 1. Because of the present and future hazard associated with the airplane traffic of the Boise Air Terminal, neither residential development nor residential rezone applications shall occur after February 14, 1978. 2. Limited industrial and non-sensitive commercial development and the corresponding commercial or industrial rezone applications are compatible in the Overland Airport Influence Planning Area. 3. Industrial and commercial uses in the Overland Airport Influence Planning Area shall be of the low employment type and not generate high volumes of auto traffic and be only secondary to the industrial and commercial uses of the primary employ- ment center of the Boise Municipal Airport as designated in the Boise Metropolitan Plan. 4. All industrial and commercial uses shall be served with central water and sewer and the potential hookup to the Gowen Field Sewer Facility or other collection sewer systems should be investigated. 5. Avigation easement shall be obtained throughout the Overland Airport Influence Planning Area for allowable developments or rezone applications. 6. Open space uses concerning greenways , parks , agriculture , and recreation are compatible for land that is vacant and unbuilt upon in the Overland Airport Influence Planning Area. Maple Grove Planning Area Because of the following reasons, the Maple Grove Planning Area is further subdivided with the associated development policies: 1. Much of the land of the Maple Grove Planning Area has been either significantly developed or rezoned for development. 2. Past development patterns have set a trend for suburban living patterns. 3. The area is in need of suburban design. 4. There is an opportunity for a variety of land uses. 5. The easternly portion of the area is heavily impacted by the present as well as scheduled future expansion of the Boise Air Terminal. Airport Area 2 Definition: Bounded by the 30 NEF curve of the Boise Air Terminal Master Plan, Maple Grove to the west, Cole Road to the east, and Interstate 80N to the north and east. Development Policies: 1. Because of the hazards and impact of the airplane traffic associated with the Boise Air Terminal, residential development and rezone applications shall be limited to the maximum density of 1 dwelling unit per 5 acres as of February 14, 1978. 2. In order that there will be an efficient use of the land, the dwelling units generated from the maximum density of 1 dwelling unit per 5 acres may be allowed to cluster together. 3. The location and construction of new schools shall not be allowed in the Airport Area 2. 4. Limited industrial and non-noise sensitive commercial development and the corresponding rezone applications shall be allowed to fill in existing vacant zoned or planned land; however, industrial and commercial development shall be contained to an area which is East of Cole Road and no further South of Victory Road. The location of this area is illustrated on the map of the Southwest Study Area Planning Areas. 5. All industrial and commercial uses in the above-delineated area of Airport Area 2 shall be of the low employment type and not generate high volumes of auto traffic. 6. All industrial and commercial uses shall be served with central water and sewer and potential hookup to either Gowen Field Sewer facility or other sewer collection systems should be investigated. 7. Open space uses concerning greenways, parks, agriculture and recreation are compatible for land that is not platted at the density of 1 dwelling unit per 5 acres. 8. Avigation easement shall be obtained throughout Airport Area 2 for all allowable developments or rezone applications. Meridian Planning & Zoning .l']. January 9, 19']8 Airport Area 1 Definition: Bounded by the 30 NEF curve, west of Five Mile Road, east of Maple Grove Road, and north by Interstate 80N. Development Policies: 1. Additional residential development should take into consideration that Airport Area 3 is significantly impacted by the airport noise zones of 30 NEF magnitude. 2. Special constructions standards shall be set for residential development in order to minimize the impact of the 30 NEF noise zone from airplane traffic of the Boise Air Terminal. 3. The location and construction of new public schools shall be discouraged in Airport Area 1 because of its impact by the airplane noise traffic zones of 30 NEF magnitude. 4. Residential development policies of Airport Area 1 shall be the same as for the remaining land of the Maple Grove Planning Area that is not impacted by the air traffic of the Boise Air Terminal. 5. Open space uses regarding agriculture, parka , greenways , and recreation are compatible for Airport Area 1 of the Maple Grove Planning Area. Meridian Planning & Zoning .18. January 9, 1978 Remaining Land of the Maple Grove Planning Area Not Impacted by the Boise Air Terminal Definition: Bounded by the 30 NEF curve to the East, the New York Canal to the south, Amity Road to the south, Cloverdale Road to the west, and Interstate 80N to the north. The alternative development policies on the following page shall contain all of the following specific policies: 1. In order that needed suburban public services are met, the development policy shall be phased according to an established quota of allowable developments per year. The phased development shall be set and coordinated with the assistance of existing taxing units (School and Fire Districts) as well as Ada County Services <police protection) and the transportation priorities of the Ada County Highway District. 2. The quota of allowed developments per year shall be considered on the following basis; a a. First consideration shall be given to platted land. b. Second consideration shall be given to "R" zoned land. c. Third consideration shall be given to "D-2" zoned land. 3. Ada County will require payments in lieu of on-site dedication of land for parks, schools , sewer treatment plants or other suburban public services frnm all developers. 4. Clustering will be allowable of dwelling units generated from the set development policy so that there will be an efficient use of the land. 5. Central water systems will be required for all new dwelling units and new wells shall be drilled below the shallow ground water quifer. 6. Dry line sewer installations to each new dwelling unit shall be required for all developers. 7. Planned Unit Developments will be the preferred method of development in the remaining land of the Maple Grove Planning Area that is not impacted by the Boise Air Terminal. 8. Special considerations shall be given to impacted land holders through an inventory of ownerships, the establishment of an ownership map, and special land use con- siderations, that is, whether the land in question shall be utilized for parks, greenways, school sites, central sewer plant or other needed suburban public facilities. 9. The established development policy of this area shall be set in the knowledge that a ground water quality study of the Southwest Area is being initiated and may take a number of years. 10. A commercial development plan will be completed for this area as a general development policy is finalized. Meridian Planning & Zoning .19. January 9, 1978 Lake Hazel Planning Area Because of the following reasons, the Lake Hazel Planning Area shall be subdivided with the corresponding development policies: 1. The Lake Hazel Planning Area has significant open space, and the majority of the open space is zoned "D-2" . 2. The easternly portion of the area is heavily impacted by the future expansion of a third runway of the Boise Air Terminal. 3. There is sufficient open space that is suitable for agricultural uses. 4. The area is intended to be a suburban expansion area for the Maple Grove Planning Area and the development that does occur in the Lake Hazel Planning Area should be harmonious with the Maple Grove Planning Area development policies. Airport Area 3 Definition: Bounded by the 30 NEF curve of the Boise Air Terminal Master Plan, the New York Canal to the west and north, and the section line of Curtis Road to the East. Development Policy: Because Airport Area 3 of the Lake Hazel Planning Area is sig- nificantly impacted by the Boise Air Terminal, the development policies shall be the same as for the Overland Airport Influence Planning Area (Airport Area 3) . Such policies shall have immediate application as of February 14, 1978. .ZO. Alternate Development Policies for Airport Area 1 and the Remainin¢ Land of the Maple Prove Planning Are '~'h * 'c Not Imn to y the T2 's "' Alternative 1: Additional residential development and rezone applications shall not occur for either a period of 3 years after February 14, 1978 or until the ground water quality study is completed--which may be greater than 3 years . Alternative 2: All residential development and rezone applications shall be delayed until a master sewer plan is completed for the entire Maple Grove Planning Area and a public sewer district is formed. Alternative 3: As of February 14, 1978, additional residential development and rezone applications will be allowed to a maximum density of 2 dwelling units per acre. Alternative 4: As of February 14, 1978, additional residential development and rezone applications will be allowed to the maximum density of 1 unit per 5 acres. 'A pre-platting to a density of 2 units per acre will be allowed as the master sewer plan for the Maple Grove Planning Area is completed and a public sewer district is formed. Remaining Land of the Lake Hazel Planning Area Not Impacted by the Boise Air Terminal Definition: Bounded by the 30 NEF curve to the east, the Cole Road section line to the east, Hazel Road section line to the south, the New York Canal to the east and south, the intersection of Columbia Road and Cloverdale Road to the south, Cloverdale Road to the west, and the New York to the North. Development Policies: Short-Term Policy: All "D-2" zoned land and vacant "R" zoned land will be held for 3 years or until the ground water quality study of the Southwest Area is completed, and no development will be allowed. The short-term policy shall not apply to the public facilities of schools, churches, and other public or quasi-public facilities. Long-Term Policies: 1. When the short term development policy limitation lapses, the development and rezoning policies of the land of the Lake Hazel Planning Area not impacted by the Boise Air Terminal shall be in harmony with the development which previously occurred in the Maple Grove Planning Area. 2. The Lake Hazel Planning Area development policy shall also contain the same ten policies as included with the 5 alternatives for the land of the Maple Grove Planning Area not impacted by the Boise Air Terminal. (Refer to page entitled: i;emaiyiiny Land of the Maple Grove Plannnine rea NQt Impacted by the Boise Air Terminal) Meridian Planning & Zoning .21. January 9, 198 -~-~-- - Southwest Rangeland and Airport Influence Area Because of the following reasons, the Southweat Rangeland and Airport Influence Area is further subdivided with the associated development policies: 1. The majority of the land within the above area is defined as rangeland as per the Ada County Comprehensive Plan (6.2) . 2. The above area is significantly impacted by the noise contours of the Boise Air Terminal . 3. A significant portion of the land is semi-arid desert and has limited road access. Airport Area 4 Definition: Boundaries of this area are illustrated as per the Land Use Plan Map, Exhibit XI of the Boise Air Terminal Master Plan of 1977. Development Policies: 1. The majority of the land of Area 4 fits the definitional criteria of rangeland and open space as per the Ada County Comprehensive Plan of 1977. 6.2 Definition: Land in this policy area generally is desert semi- arid land and used for grazing. Much of it is predominantly in public ownership and used for various public purposes. 2. Two factors of Airport Area 4 put severe restrictions upon developments and rezone applications. a. Its rangeland designation. 6.2-3.2 Ada County Comprehensive Plan: For rangeland use with a residence, the minimum lot size for subdivision of rangeland will be 160 acres. In order to provide reasonable opportunity for farm families and others to deed land to children, aone- acre parcel may be split from each parcel of 40 acres held in individual ownership up to a maximum of three one-acre lots. Clustering of the lots may be required in order to reduce the need for roads and preserve the integrity of the land for agricultural use. b. Its location in the immediate approach zone of the Boise Air Terminal. 9, 1978 Airport Area 3 Definition: Boundaries of this area are illustrated per the Land Use Plan Map, Exhibit XI, of the Boise Air Terminal Master Plan of 197?. Development Policies: 1. Because of the present and future hazards associated with the airplane traffic of the Boise Air Terminal, neither residential development nor residential rezone applications shall occur as of February 14, 1978. 2. Limited industrial and non-sensitive commercial development and corresponding rezone applications are compatible in Area 3. 3.
