Motion Carried: All Yea:
Johnson: We are going to change the order of the Agenda, so now we will go to Item #4:
ITEM#4: PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR USED CAR SALES LOT
BY SAM FISHEL & DALE BATES AT VALLEY IMPLEMENT PROPERTY:
Johnson: I will now open the Public Hearing, is there a representative present to
represent this request, please come forward and be sworn by the attorney.
Sam Fishel, 734 Pennwood Street, Meridian, Idaho, was sworn by the attorney.
Fishel: You are all familar with Alpine Wood Products located at 225 W. Franklin Rd.,
right next door to the Farmer's Club. I am proposing to take that side of the parking
lot which is on the side of the lava rock building, which is 120 ft. back, 60 ft. wide
and take that little lava rock building and remodel it and turn it into a sales office.
I would like to call my place Centennial Motors and call it the Credit Car Company and
I would like to put approximately 20 cars on the lot. I will be running the older
model cars, $2,000.00 and below there won't be any late model cars. Of course I will
get a state banking license and everything that's required by the State of Idaho.
I read all the comments that have been made and I don't have any problems with any
of them. The City Engineer made the recommendation that 30~ of the lot be used for
customer parking, I would like to make a comment on that, I took 8 ft. all the way
around the outside perimeter of the lot and that would leave the center of the lot
open and vacant for customer parking, doing that will leave 36$ of the footage, which
the City only requires 30~. There will be no auto detailing.
Alidjani: I don't have any questions, I just want to make the comment that he has
more than 36~ for parking.
Fishel: I sold out in Phoenix. You will find in the folder I gave you Letters of
Recommendation from people that I have worked with please feel free to call any of
those people.
Rountree; Alpine Wood will still remain in operation there.
Fishel: Yes.
Rountree: You spoke of remodeling the lava building, is that identified as a
historic structure?
Clerk Niemann: Not that I know of.
Fishel: It'll be a beautiful place when I get through with it.
Rountree: You indicated you wouldn't be doing any detailing there, would you be doing
any repair?
Fishel: No. I will have an air tank & a battery charger there.
Rountree: Are you going to improve the surface out there or leave it road mix?
Fishel: I want to plant trees and shrubs all around out there to make it look nice.

PAGE #3
Hepper: Will there be any bathroom facilities?
Fishel: Yes there will in the main Alpine building there is two big bathrooms. I
also came down and talked to the City Inspector, and he said that would be more than
good. The chimney will come out and I will be putting in electric heat.
Johnson: How about lighting or fencing for security purposes?
Fishel: No.
Crookston: What's the relationship between you and Alpine Wood, are you leasing
this property?
Fishel: Yes, I'm leasing 120 ft. back, 60 ft. across and the lava rock building, our
discussion was I'll pay for the materials used and they'll furnish the labor.
Crookston: Does your lease provide for your use of their sanitary facilities?
Fishel: Yes sir that is in the agreement. We haven't signed a lease or anything, we
are waiting on the decision of the Planning & Zoning Board and of course the City
Council.
Crookston: Are you prepared to bring the building up to the Building Code Requirements?
Fishel: Yes.
Johnson: Is there anyone who wishes to testify, please come forward and be sworn.
Elmar Martin, 50 Rose Circle, was sworn by the attorney.
Martin: Our concern is about the traffic and dust & dirt caused from the cars coming and
going. I don't understand about the parking behind the building. We've also had
problems with the weeds. Will he be responsible for keeping the weeds down?
Alidjani: He's actually about 150 to 200 ft. away with the driveway that he is going
to use.
Martin: Unless he goes back behind there and uses the Alpine part, that's what I'm
concerned about.
Fishel: That doesn't go back past that chain link fence. Also, there won't be any dust
from me whatsoever because the drive is paved and my cars will be parked.
Johnson: Is there anyone else who wishes to testify?
Darrell Calhoun, 2586 Misty, Meridian, was sworn by the attorney.
Calhoun: I've known Sam Fishel for a little over a year, been doing some business with
him, selling for him, most of you know I'm an auctioneer in town. I think he would be an
asset and an improvement on Franklin Road to see that building occupied. I think they
are going to see a definite improvement there as far as the weeds, Alpine Wood was kind
of late getting in there this last year. I think with those people in there it will help
everyone.
Johnson: Is there anyone else who wishes to testify?

Chet, 12 Goldie Drive, Boise, was sworn by the Attorney.
Chet: I'd just like to say that Sam is a real nice guy and he will be good for
the community.
Johnson: I will close the Public Hearing at this time.
Crookston: We haven't addressed the ACRD comments. Mr. Fishel have you had a chance
to review the ACRD comments?
Fishel: Yes I have.
Crookston: Do you have any problems with those?
Fishel: No Sir. 2 called the ACRD this afternoon and I asked them if there would be
any problems with them, in other words what to expect with the Planning & Zoning Board,
I told them I was going to the Public Hearing this evening and he said there would
be no problem with anything, it depends on whatever your recommendations are.
Fishel: If you ever do decide to put curb & gutter along that street or whatever, 2'm
going to be 100 in front of the line to make my contribution because that's going to
enhance my business and make it look alot better. But at this time I am not financially
prepared to come up with that kind of money.
Crookston: So you do have a problem with the financial committment.
Fishel: That should be up to the property owners. If you don't require it then they
won't. That's what he told me.
Johnson: I will now close the Public Hearing.
The Motion was made by Rountree and seconded by Alidjani to have the Findings of Fact
prepared for the Conditional Use Permit.
Motion Carried: All Yea:
The Motion was made by Rountree and seconded by Alidjani to recommend approval to the
City Council.
Motion Carried: All Yea:
ITEM #5: PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT BY TAMI SHOFmAxFR FOR CUSTOM
DECOR & GIFT SHOP AT 1031 EAST FIRST STREET:
Johnson: Is there a representative present, please come forward and be sworn.
Tami Shoemaker, 1031 E. First Street, was sworn by the attorney.
Shoemaker: We are taking an area of 325 sq. ft. in the house, we're putting a little gift
shop, with basically handmade gifts from Idaho and we are living in the rest of it. It's
just a small shop and there will not be any public restrooms. My husband did want to ask
on the parking, do we just need two off road parking places? We did have a letter from
Richard Orton, he was concerned that this would not be good for the neighborhood.

We just want to make it look really nice. On the comment from ACHD, is the sidewalk
something we have to pay for?
Johnson: Eventually you will.
Shearer: My only con¢nent on this would be that I don't think that they need to put
forth that financial commitment, because that's going to be the LID, which I presume
will betaken care of, the four foot walk on Carlton, that's a separate item.
Why aren't we going for a rezone?
Johnson: Carlton is the boundary for Old Town.
Rountree: Just make sure the sign you are going to put out doesn't get into the site
triangle of E. 1st and Carlton.
Shoemaker: We park on Carlton now, we would just delete some of our yard there and just
have it there.
Hepper: Would the garage there have to be moved?
Shoemaker: No, the driveway is quit wide there.
Alidjani: So what you are proposing is the parking would be on Carlton Street.
Shoemaker: Right, I think it would look alot nicer if we could keep it off of East First.
Johnson: I will open the Public Hearing at this time, is there anyone present who wishes
to testify, please come forward and be sworn. Hearing no response, I will close the
Public Hearing.
The Motion was made by Alidjani and seconded by Rountree to prepare the Findings of Fact
and Conclusions of Law for Tami Shoemaker at 1031 East First Street.
Motion Carried: All Yea:
The Motion was made by Shearer and seconded by Rountree to recommend favorable upon this
request to the City Council.
Motion Carried: All Yea:
ITEM #3: PUBLIC HEARING: PRELIMINARY PLAT ON THE VINEYARDS SUBDIVISION:
Johnson: Is there a representative here, please come forward and be sworn in.
Max Boesiger, 1399 E. Monteray Drive, Boise, was sworn by the Attorney.
Boesiger: Our firm developed Sunnybrook Farms here in Meridian, also some others in Boise.
As you know it's located at the intersection of Cherry Lane and Linder. We have to
compete with Boise and we have some expenses here that we wouldn't have in Boise,
MERIDIAN PLANNING & ZONING
FEBRUARY 13, 1990
PAGE #6
one of those is the fact that we have to develop an irrigation system, pressurized
system here in Meridian that's not yet required in Boise, also the domestic water system,
in Boise the system we have there part of the developers costs are reimbursed as hookups
are brought on, plus the system here itself is more costly than the one in Boise.
Since we can't really compete well on a cost basis, we believe that by putting in a
better designed product, one that is more better suited for the market place we think
we can compete with that Boise market. We plan to do that with deeper lots. These
will average about 130 ft deep. We are tageting houses that range from $85,000 to
$130,000., lot prices will range from $18,000 to $22,000. Going up and down Cherry Lane
and Linder where our project abutts to those streets, there will be about a 7ft. distance
between back of sidewalk and the property line. We like to burn that up so that the
property line is right about the top of that berm, and then landscape with sod, trees and
shrubs or whatever that 7 ft. distance. We also intend to put in a real nice lighted
entry sign with landscaping around it also. Explained further about the Commercial
corner. We intend to plat in May and start foundations hopefully in June. We expect that
we will probably be finishing up the last phase in 1998.
Rountree: Where is the sign located?
Boesiger: In the corner where it is more visible.
Hepper: Are we addressing the irrigation.
Crookston: I have a question on the fence on the burin, how tall of a fence are you talking
about?
Boesiger: I should think four feet possibly five feet.
Crookston: The height including the fence and the burin is maximum 6 ft.
Rountree: One point of clarification, that burin and fence is around the entire perimeter.
Boesiger: Just about, there is an existing house, we wouldn't be doing that of course.
Johnson: Thank you very much. I will now open the Public Hearing at this time.
Gary Lee, 1990 Turnberry Way, Meridian, was sworn by the Attorney.
Lee: I am with JOB Engineers, as Max indicated we are the engineers on this project.
We have worked with Max Boesiger Inc. in preparing the preliminary plat and all the
documents you have on this project. The project is 70i acres total, there is about
66i acres which is residential. There is a trunk line sewer that runs along the south
border of the project along the west that falls back of the Nine Mile Drain and that
will be our tie in as far as sanitary sewer. On the west end a 20 ft. wide public right
a way that Mr. Smith had mentioned in his comments, we had planned to run the sanitary
sewer and the storm drain line. Z have discussed this with ACHD and I think we are
going to reach a conclusion that we can use an easement there. There is an existing 10"
main that runs along Linder and also along Cherry Lane, we'll tie into that main line
on Elm Drive with an 8 inch, then along the road and connect back in at Cherry Lane on the
Northwest corner of the property.

PAGE #7
Lee: Went over ACRD requirements, irrigation, etc. (TAPE ON FILE)
Clerk Niemann: I might mention that Gary submitted his comments on the variance request
and he didn't have any problem with letting them defer that irrigation until we had
some, doing the dry lines and stuff, and also on the 70 ft. lot frontages.
Rountree: You show a utility easement along Nine Mile Drain on the West end, is that going
to be fenced or just be in somebody's back yard and platted that way.
Lee: The easement will be there, the fence will go along the lot side of the easement
thereby leaving the access open to the Nine Mile Drain.
Rountree: On the south side along that same corridor, I was wondering what the distance
was for Nine Mile Creek, but that must be the main line sewer. There is a corner in the
southwest corner of the area that's not part of the development it's between Nine Mile
Drain and the Rutlege Drain, I think it's on the back portion of the Church, is that going
to be land lodc~br is that owned by adjacent property or what's the situation with that?
Lee: As far as I know it's not land locked.
Rountree: You said you didn't have any problems with ACHD's comments, would you run
by what your proposals is for curb, gutter and sidewalk on the perimeter of the project?
Lee: That will be a widened section, we will be adding a lane on the south side
of Cherry Lane.
Rountree: Have you given any consideration to a turn lane or a turn median?
Lee: What they are thinking about doing is painting the center media and go with the
three lane section. There is also an irrigation ditch that has to be piped.
Johnson: How many lots are there in the first phase?
Lee: Twenty Seven (27) Lots.
Rountree: On your appllication you indicate there is 32 acres set aside for commercial,
and we have an action next month that indicates that is 4.5 acres.
Lee: Probably the difference is the 4.5 measures to the center line and the 3z didn't.
Rountree: Are you sure that you mailed notices to all the people on the mailing list?
Hepper: Is the irrigation system something we want to discuss on the preliminary plat?
How are these people going to water their yards for the next two or three years until these
dry lines are activated?
Clerk Niemann: City Water I suppose if the Council approves.
Hepper: Would there be some sort of security or bond or something to insure that
that would be completed?
Boesiger: That's a reasonable request.
Rountree: In you covenants are you going to have mandatory membership in the homeowners
association and some kind of tool that the homeowners association can land on these
MERIDIAN PLANNING & ZONING • •

PAGE #8
people to take care of those things. What kinds of thoughts do you have on the irrigation
system:
Lee: We have an access right now at the SE corner right off Linder next to the Nine Mile
Drain and everything irrigates to the west, we can pick that water up there and by
sizing the pipes large enough we can deliver the water pretty effectivly from one point.
There is a delivery point that crosses Linder.
Boesiger: I might just say that there is two obstacles in the irrigation system that I
think we face, and the two major issues are #1 the irrigation water comes into the ditches
about a month after you want to start watering your lawn, #2 is the screening. We need
to resolve these problems as a community.
Crookston: Did 2 understand that ACHD has dropped this requirement about making
Burgandy a culdesac?
Johnson: It's an either or situation.
Crookston: I think you need-
Johnson: Is there anybody else that wishes to testify, if so please come forward and be
sworn.
Louise Bird, 1915 W. Cherry Ln., Meridian, was sworn by the Attorney.
Bird: I'm the one that is effected the most by this. I've owned that land all my life,
that land is some of the most prime farm land in the Meridian area. That land has been
improved, it's been leveled it has approximately 2,000 running feet of cement ditches on
there, which is not that big of a deal until you figure that the government paid for those
ditches, there is no legal obligation for the new owners to repay the government for that
cost on those ditches, but there is amoral obligation there as far as any of us who have
farmed and the government helped with those ditches. I won't go into the wildlife that's
there etc. When sitting at the intersection of Cherry Lane and Linder you would look
directly into the houses backyards, the most unkept part of a house. Voiced some concerns
about the landscaping & traffic. How about some real concerns, how about City services,
right now we are running our Fire Department on a strictly volunteer basis, is it fair to
put the responsibility of 209 more homes onto the backs of volunteers. The Police
Department has twelve on it's staff, that's a pretty limited staff considering that big
of an addition. Also some concerns about school overcrowding. What are the kids going to
do for recreation? I hope that this subdivision would be completed in a timely manner
and not just let go for the weeds. On your lots 6 & 7, has our septic tank drain field
water stands there in the spring when there is a high water table. I would hate to owners
of lots 6 & 7 and then find this out. Please take my comments under advisement.
Alidjani: When you refer to the government paid for these ditches-
Bird: That's the Soil Conservation Agency.
Johnson: Anyone else from the public who wishes to come forward.
Penny McCatheron, 1533 Elm Place, Meridian, was sworn by the attorney.
McCatheron: I am a teacher in Meridian School District. I have some concerns about
the overcrowding & the traffic.

Johnson: Anyone else from the Public that wishes to testify? Being no response the
Public Hearing is closed.
Rountree: I agree about the concerns of overcrowding in the schools.
The Motion was made by Rountree and seconded by Shearer to recommend approval to the
City Council.
Motion Carried: All Yea:
ITEM #6: DISCUSSION ON SOME AMEPIDMENTS Tn THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
Clerk Niemann: The County is changing their ordinance, anyway we have to sign a new
agreement and they are suggesting that we amend our comp. plan with respect to the
rural areas.
Johnson: Jack & I met with a professional planner that had made these recommendations.
I think we need to do something as soon as possible. It was discussed to have a workshop
to discuss these matters on March 7th at 7:30 P.M.:
The Motion was made by Rountree and seconded by Shearer to adjourn the meeting at 9:30P.M.:

BEFORE THE MERIDIAN PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION'S
PETITION TO AMEND
MERIDIAN ZONING ORDINANCE AND THE DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
The above entitled Petition and Verbal Addendum made
during a regular scheduled Planning and Zoning meeting to amend
the Meridian Zoning and Development Ordinance, having come on
for public hearings and the Planning and Zoning Commission
having heard any and all testimony that was submitted and having
duly considered the evidence, the facts judicially noticed and
its own opinions and the matter, the Planning and Zoning
Commission makes the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. That a notice of public hearing on the application was
published for two (2) consecutive weeks prior to each of the two
public hearings scheduled for November 14, 1989, and January 9,
1990, respectively, the first publication of which was fifteen
(15) days prior to each of said hearings; that the matter was
duly considered at the November 14, 1989 and January 9, 1990

hearings and was duly considered by the Planning and Zoning
Commission; that copies of all notices were available to
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS - PAGE 1
newspapers, and radio and television stations.
2. That these proposed amendments are as set forth in the
Petition and the Verbal Addendum. That the general reasons and
purposes set forth in the Petition and Verbal Addendum for
amending the Zoning Development Ordinances are to set forth a
simpler procedure for variances from the fence ordinance, to
establish a minimum garage size for single family detached
housing units, to establish a prohibition from maintaining
livestock and poultry within the city limits except for meat and
poultry processing facilities which are now not specifically
prohibited, to specifically set forth that the 4,250 square foot
lot size for duplexes is 4,250 per dwelling unit and not 4,250
for the entire duplex, to reduce the size of required widths of
parking spaces to allow more parking spaces and to meet the
factual circumstances that many cars are smaller these days and
are compact and thus meeting the requests for property owners by
also allowing compact car parking spaces, to clear up any
possible confusion as to when an occupancy permit can be issued
which is after completion of placement of all utilities, to set

the fence ordinances of the City of Meridian, which in large
part pertain to corner lots; that in large part the variances
are worked out by the City Clerk, City Engineer and the Chief of
Police and it is more appropriate to have a simpler procedure
unless requested to do so.
6. That it has been the policy of the City of Meridian in
the past to require single family detached units to have two car
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS - PAGE 3
garages but there has been no minimum size set for the garages
and it is desireable to have that set, so that the requirement
is definitive.
7. That the present Zoning Ordinance does not prohibit
livestock and poultry within the City of Meridian, and such were
previously prohibited and it was an oversight in the original
zoning ordinance not to include that prohibition.
8. That the present Zoning Schedule of Bulk and Coverage
Controls is ambiguous and is in need of clarification as to the
square foot lot requirements for duplexes.
9. That cars are becoming smaller and it is found that
the 10 foot width of parking spaces is unnecessary and 9 foot
is more reasonable and more practical and since there are many
compact cars that there should be a compact car space
designation.
10. That there have been requests by developers to allow
people to occupy homes prior to all utilities having been put in
service to the subdivision and there is a need to set forth that
no occupancy permits will be allowed without the placement of
utilities.
11. That there are on occasions times when it is necessary

to allow building of a structure to commence where improvements
have not been totally completed and it is found to be necessary
to allow building permits to be issued where all improvements
have not been placed provided the developer places and posts
security for the completion of the improvements.
(FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS - PAGE 4
12. That the Ada Planning Association has set a goal of
having 80 foot right-of-way requirements on section line roads,
and it is therefore desireable to meet that goal so that it is
uniform throughout the County.
13. That there have been, in the past, many complaints by
residence in subdivisions that they are assessed for water taxes
and assessments and yet receive no water for irrigation.
14. That the existence of a number of domestic animals can
be disturbing and often times is, for neighbors.
15. That the Ada County Highway District removed from its
regulations the maximum length to which a street ending in a
culdesac could be constructed.
16. That the properties located on Lot 1 and Lot 2,
Chappin Subdivision No. 2 and at 305 E. Fairview Avenue, are
presently used and were so used at the time of passage of the
original Zoning Ordinance in April of 1984, in a commercial
fashion.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
1. That the City has authority to amend its Zoning and
Development Ordinances pursuant to Title 67, Chapter 65, Idaho
Code, specifically Section 67-6511, Idaho Code, and Section 11-
2-416 of the Zoning Ordinances and Section 11-9-614 of the
Development Ordinance.

Title 67, Chapter 65, Idaho Code and the Ordinances of the City
of Meridian have been complied with.
(FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS - PAGE 5
3. That since the proposed amendments are proposed by the
Commission, the technical requirements for an amendment
application may be waived, and are hereby waived.
4. That the function of adopting, amending, or repealing
the text of a zoning or development ordinance is a legislative
function in that such does not pertain to any specific parcel
or parcels of property; that the Local Planning Act of 1975
requires findings of fact and conclusions regardless of whether
the function is legislative or quasi-judicial.
5. That the Commission may take judicial notice of
governmental statutes, ordinances and policies, and of actual
conditions existing within the City, County, and State.
6. That it is concluded that it is not in the best
interest of the City of Meridian and its residents to require
full variance procedures for fence variances and that the
proposed procedure will provide adjacent owners with the
required notice and provide them with full opportunity for
input and provide for appeal, which if there is an unresolved
issue or disagreement between the applicant and the adjacent
property owners within 200 feet can be resolved as if it were a
full variance procedure.
7. That it is desireable to keep cars from being parked

a requirement of a two car garage will facilitate keeping many
cars from being parked along the streets of the City of Meridian
which in certain and many areas are narrow and are a hinderance

to safety and emergency vehicles.
8. That it is desireable to keep livestock and poultry
from being kept and maintained within the City limits; that such
were generally prohibited under the Zoning Ordinances in effect
prior to April 2, 1984; that it was an oversight not to prohibit
livestock and poultry within the City under the Zoning
Ordinance adopted April 2, 1984; that if such animals are
presently being maintained that the ordinance amendment will
provide a procedure for grandfather rights.
9. That the Zoning Schedule of Bulk and Coverage Controls
was ambiguous as to the minimum lot size for duplexes.
10. That it is concluded that parking spaces needed to be
amended to fit the existing and present sizes of midsize and
compact cars, and that the 10 foot requirement for width, other
than in 45 degree parking was excessive due to the prevalence of
small sized vehicles.
11. It is concluded that no structure should be allowed to
be occupied until all utilities are connected to service the
property.
12. That it is concluded that on occasion it is
appropriate to issue a building permit prior to the placement of
all improvements provided the applicant for the building permit
or his agent or the developer of the subdivision posts adequate
security for the completion of the improvements and that such
improvements are completed prior to occupancy.
