Re: Pine Meadows Annexation and Zoning
Dear Councilmen:
I have reviewed the application for annexation and zone change
from Pine Street Developers. This annexation and rezoning will
accelerate the need for Joint School District No. 2 to construct
additional classrooms and/or to adjust school attendance
boundaries. Meridian Schools do not have excess capacity.
Nearly every school in the district is beyond capacity.
The Meridian School District supports economic growth for Idaho
and specifically the district's area, but such growth produces a
need for additional school construction. We ask your support for
a development fee statute on new home construction or a real
estate transfer fee to help offset the costs of building
additional school facilities. If this support is lacking then we
ask that additional residential development be denied.
Residents of the new subdivision cannot be assured of attending
the neighborhood school as it may be necessary to bus students to
available classrooms across the district.
We ask that you assure the developer will provide walkways, bike
paths and safe pedestrian access.
Sincerely,
Da-ri Ma~" "
Deputy Superintendent

SUBJECT: Annexation and Zoning for Pine Meadows
This annexation and zoning complies with the Comprehensive Plan. A
Mixed PUD zone has been requested; this zone will be included in the
revised Zoning and Development Ordinance. Part of the requirements of
the zone will be that future development will be subject to a
Conditional Use Permit.
A park is identified in the Comprehensive Plan for this area. Any
future Conditional Use Permit will require a park dedication to the City
unless the developer provides private recreation space maintained by a
homeowners association.
I would request that the public hearing be held on the annexation
request but then tabled pending adoption of the new MPUD addition to the
Zoning and Development Ordinance. I recommend the annexation be
approved subject to receipt and approval of a Development Agreement.

19. That the R-15, Residential District is described in the

of the (R-15) District is to permit the establishment of
medium-high density single-family attached and multi-family
dwellings at a density not exceeding fifteen (15) dwelling
units per acre. All such districts must have direct access to
a transportation arterial or collector, abut or have direct
access to a park or open space corridor, and be connected to
the Municipal Water and Sewer systems of the City of Meridian.
The predominant housing types in this district will be patio
homes, zero lot line single-family dwellings, townhouses,
apartment buildings and condominiums.
20. That the Meridian Comprehensive Plan, under Land Use,
Residential Policies, 2.1U states as follows:
"Support a variety of residential categories (urban, rural,
single-family, multi-family, townhouses, apartments,
condominiums, etc. ) for the purpose of providing the City with
a range of affordable housing opportunities."
21. That the Meridian Comprehensive Plan, under Land Use,
Rural Areas, 6.3 c., it states as follows:
"Within the Urban Service Planning Area development may occur
in densities as low as 3 dwellings per acre if physical
connection is made to existing City of Meridian water and
sewer. service and the property is platted and subdivided .
.'
22. That the Meridian Comprehensive Plan, under Land Use,
Rural Areas, 6.4, it states as follows:
"Residential development is allowed in the rural area provided
that said development does not exceed the Rural Residential
Agricultural density, unless it is inside the Urban Service
Planning Area and City sewer and water is provided, then Low,
Medium and High density residential may be considered. All
residential development must also comply with the other
appropriate sections of this plan."
23. That the Meridian Comprehensive Plan, under Housing,
Housing Policies, at page 66, it states as follows:
"1.1 The City of Meridian intends to provide for a wide
diversity of housing types (single-family, modular, mobile
homes, multi-family, townhouses, apartments, condominiums."
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Page 5
/'\
"1.3 An open housing market for all persons, regardless of.
race, sex, age, religion or ethnic background."
"1.4 The development of housing for all income groups close
to employment and shopping centers should be encouraged."
24. That there is a population influx into the City of
Meridian at the present time which has been going on for some time
and is likely to continue; that the land is relatively close to
Meridian and economic conditions are making it difficult to
continue farming in the area.
25. That in 1992 the Idaho State Legislature passed
amendments to the Local Planning Act, which in 67-6513 Idaho Code,
relating to subdivision ordinances, states as follows:
"Each such ordinance may provide for mitigation of the effects
of subdivision development on the ability of political
subdivisions of the state, including school districts, to
deliver services without compromising quality of service
delivery to current residents ~or imposing substantial
additional costs upon current residents to accommodate the
subdivision.";
that the City of Meridian is concerned with the increase in
population that is occurring and with its impact on the City being
able to provide fire, police, emergency health care, water, sewer,
parks and recreation services to its current residents and to those
moving into the City; the City is also concerned that the increase
in population is burdening the schools of the Meridian School
District which provide school service to current and future
residents of the City; that the City knows that the increase in
population does not sufficiently increase the tax base to offset
the cost of providing fire, police, emergency health care, water,
sewer, parks and recreation services; and the City knows that the
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Page 6
i"~
n,
increase in population does not provide sufficient tax base to
provide for school services to current and future students.
26. That pursuant to the instruction, guidance, and direction
of the Idaho State Legislature, the City may impose either a
development fee or a transfer ,fee on residential property, which if
possible would be retroactive and apply to all residential lots in
the City, because of the imperilment to the health, welfare, and

Re: Pine Meadows Annexation and Zoning
Dear Councilmen:
I have reviewed the application for annexation and zone change
from Pine Street Developers. This annexation and rezoning will
accelerate the need for Joint School District No. 2 to construct
additional classrooms and/or to adjust school attendance
boundaries. Meridian Schools do not have excess capacity.
Nearly every school in the district is beyond capacity.
The Meridian School District supports economic growth for Idaho
and specifically the district's area, but such growth produces a
need for additional school construction. We ask your support for
a development fee statute on new home construction or a real
estate transfer fee to help offset the costs of building
additional school facilities. If this support is lacking then we
ask that additional residential development be denied.
Residents of the new subdivision cannot be assured of attending
the neighborhood school as it may be necessary to bus students to
available classrooms across the district.
We ask that you assure the developer will provide walkways, bike
paths and safe pedestrian access.
Sincerely,
Da"n Ma~"
Deputy Superintendent

Corrie: I have one comment that when State Street goes clear to Linder and come around
that you don't have a lot of traffic coming from that high school down there to get to Pine.
That is the only thing that bothers me about opening to Pine Street. I am afraid you are
going to see a lot more traffic than anticipate. I hope I am wrong, but it could be that you
are going to get a lot of cruising down Street.
Tolsma: What is your pleasure?
Corrie: Mr. President, do we need to add anything to the motion for preliminary plat
approval in reference to property line problems or anything like that?
Crookston: No
Corrie: Mr. President,
Crookston: He will have to submit the legal description
Corrie: Mr. President, I move that we approve the preliminary plat for Canna Lily Estates
with the condition that Pine Street entrance will be part of the subdivision.
Morrow: Mr. President, I would ask that Councilman Corrie amend that motion to include
the 1400 square feet requirement on the plat and the addition of the CC&R's and the ditch
agreement to furnish water to the Cope place with his consent if he will amend the motion
I will second the motion.
Corrie: Yes I will.
Morrow: Second
Tolsma: Moved by Bob Corrie, second by Walt to grant the request for preliminary plat for
Canna Lily Estates subject to water being made available to the Cope residents and
CC&R's be provided with a 1400 square foot minimum and a Pine Street access, all those
in favor? Opposed?

ITEM #18: PUBLIC HEARING: REQEUST FOR ANNEXATION AND ZONING FOR PINE
MEADOWS:
Tolsma: I will now open the public hearing, I will ask the representative for Pine Meadows
make his presentation.
Meridian City Council
July 19, 1994
Page 38
John Wasden, 4844 Cresthaven Circle, Boise, was sworn by the City Attorney.
Wasden: I am standing in for Ron Walsh who is out of town. We don't have a final
concept for the project yet, this 23 acres that we are requesting the annexation and zoning
on is part of a larger project that extends from the proposed extension of Pine Street down
to Fairview. We are working with the Meridian staff and we will meet all the reasonable
requirements and recommendations and we intend to sign a development agreement. We
are also committed to meet the Comprehensive Plan in that it calls for a park in that are
so we are committed to donate the acreage that amounts to meet that requirement. Thank
you.
Tolsma: Any questions?
Morrow: This is for R-8 zoning?
Wasden: R-15 I believe.
Corrie: Did Shari leave?
Yerrington: What is your width on the Fairview into this property?
Walden: I don't know, I am not the agent that is Ron Walsh, Shari could probably answer
that question better than I.
Yerrington: Isn't there a home sitting on the back part of it
Wasden: There are a couple of homes sitting on the property, the property is owned by
3 parties, the Lowes, the Wasdens and the Beards. And the Lowes home is sitting on the
property which we currently own and are renting out the Jensen home is sitting on the
property and we are renting that out until a development proceeds.
Corrie: There is no deed restriction on that property that you are aware of?
Wasden: Is a deed restriction like an easement?
Corrie: Somebody told me there was a deed restriction from way back that it had to be
strictly homes or residential area, do you know anything about that?
Walden: I haven't heard that. On which property?
Corrie: I guess that whole section in there, I am not aware of what they were really talking
Meridian City Council
July 19, 1994
Page 39
about but I thought I would bring it to your attention in case.
Wasden: I will bring that up to Ron, should ask him to talk to the Title Company?
Cowie: I would think that would be a good idea, F don't know of going anywhere with it but
if it is it may restrict. you in doing something.
(End of Tape)
Cowie: Did Shari is she here? I had some questions on that Mixed PUD that she was
talking about. I have no further questions?
Tolsma: Anybody else wish to offer testimony on the Pine Meadows? Seeing no one I will
close the public hearing. Council members what is your decision?
Morrow: Well, quite candidly it is a little tough to deal with the issues here because we
are a little vague in terms of, apparently according to a letter date dated April 28th there
is a request for a change to reflect a new zoning of these parcels to R-15.
Shari Stiles, 33 East Idaho, was sworn by the City Attorney.
Corrie: Shari, in your comments of April 8th you mentioned the Mixed PUD zone has been
requested. You suggest that we take the public hearing and then table it pending adoption
of the new PUD as an addition to the zoning and development ordinance. Do you still
think that is apropos now with this one?
Stiles: Councilman Corrie I don't because he has changed his request to R-15.
Morrow: My question is R-15 compatible to the adjoining parcels, for example Danbury
Fair and those types of things where they have the R-8 zoning?
Stiles: It is difficult to tell until you actually see the development that is proposed. One
thing that would be required is the park and they have indicated that it would be in the
southwest comer of the property. And I think that would be a good buffer for the Danbury
Fair. I don't know what is going to be proposed as part of this development as far as units
whether it is multi-family or what. I think those can be addressed at that time. There
would need to be some buffering and landscaping and fencing provided as part of the
development agreement.
Morrow: Are you comfortable, obviously we have our most control at point of annexation.
Are you comfortable with this proposal as it is being presented in terms of R-15 that we
Meridian City Council
July 19, 1994
Page 40
can protect the surrounding uses that already exist by way of the development agreement
and those kinds of things or do we need to put conditions on this annexation at this point
in time to ensure those things such as the park?
Stiles: Councilman Morrow, I do believe that the park should definitely be made a
condition of the annexation. It is required in our ordinances that R-15 be adjacent to a
park. Being that the Treasure Valley Business Center is on the east and is an industrial
zone some consideration will have to be made for the residents in this new annexation and
that there be some buffering from that industrial use as well as the lower density
residential to the west. But I believe that should be made a condition of the annexation.
There is nothing currently there to the west, but it is being proposed as residential I
believe.
Morrow: If I understand what you are saying is that we make the park a condition of the
annexation, then we determine the development of the park and what is acceptable to
respect to what is in the park or how the park is done as part of the agreement when the
preliminary plat would come through, is that what you are communicating?
Stiles: Well, the development agreement is actually a condition of the annexation itself,
since we don't have any plat it is hard to place an conditions specifically to the plat but
some of those conditions can be addressed in the development agreement.
Morrow: What I am concerned about here is that everybody has a different definition of
a park, I don't want to see a park that (inaudible) and nothing but flat grass. And this is
obviously not what any of the 6 of us have in mind when we are talking about a park.
What I am asking for is your advice in terms of at the point of annexation which is tonight
can we make annexation contingent upon the park being involved. But you can structure
the development of the park through the preliminary plat and the development agreement.
We can get what we are after at that point is that correct?
Stiles: I am not sure, Counselor?
Crookston: The recommendation of the Planning & Zoning Commission was that no
annexation and zoning be passed until a development agreement including a commitment
for the use and development is entered into. So I think if you want to do that it is
appropriate to hold off on the actual annexation ordinance until you have the development
agreement which can include the park or should include the park.
Morrow: Run me through what happens, we do the annexation tonight but we don't pass
the ordinance until all of these things are in place, is that correct?
Meridian City Council
July 19, 1994
Page 41
Crookston: You make a motion to approve of the annexation when the development
agreement is submitted and approved. ~ .
Corrie: Mr. President, I have a question of Wayne Forrey since he is. here. Does the high
density fit in the Comprehensive Plan at that errd of town or are we trying to keep it more
in the central area high density and as we move out lower density. I noticed you
mentioned in the letter here we anticipate being high density housing in this area but if we
get an R-15 that can be pretty high density. What are your comments on that?
Forrey: I believe the Comprehensive Plan for this are of the community was anticipated
mixed planned use development. And the Comprehensive Plan now adopted does
indicated it would include a variety of uses, medium density residential was one of the
uses specifically identified in the plan as a desirable land use as long as it was properly
planned and designed and coordinated with other uses in the area. There were no density
quidelines in the comprehensive plan what may be high density in Meridian may be low
density in another area or vice versa. Most cities would tend to view high density at about
the 20 units per acre and up density level. Generally between 8 to 15 to 20 units is
generally considered medium density. I don't know if that helps.
Corrie: That is all I have.
Tolsma: All we need now is a motion. We have to approve the findings.
Morrow:. Mr. President I would move that we would approve the findings of fact and
conclusions of law as written for the P & Z.
Yerrington: Second
Tolsma: Moved by Walt second by Max to approve the findings of fact and conclusions
of law as prepared by the P & Z roll call vote.
ROLL CALL VOTE: Morrow -Yea, Yerrington -Yea, Corrie -Yea
MOTION CARRIED: All Yea
Corrie: Mr. President, I move that we approve the decision and recommendation of the
findings of fact and conclusions.

Tolsma: Moved by Bob, second by Max to approve the decision, all those in favor?
Meridian City Council

Opposed?
MOTION CARRIED: All Yea
Wasden: Just as a clarification on the park, we were contributing part of the park the other
part was to come .from the neighboring developer is that your understanding. From
listening 1 got the feeling you though we were contributing the whole park.
Morrow: That is what I was searching for.
Wasden: Right and I never clarified that. As I understand it is a 5 acre park that the City
is looking for of which we have been asked for 2 acres. That is the commitment we made
of 2 acres and we weren't committed to develop that but to donate the property. We have
just been asked to donate the area not develop it.
Morrow: It would appear that is a grey area, probably in terms of us if I understand what
we have done with the findings of fact and conclusions by approving them the
development agreement would be subject to negotiation between our staff.
Wasden: I just want to get an understanding on the record.
ITEM #19: PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR ANNEXATION AND ZONING WITH A
PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR PRESTON'S ASPEN GROVE ESTATES BY SHEKINAH
INDUSTRIES:
Tolsma: I will open the public hearing and ask the developer to step forward.
Mike Preston, 420 Bitterroot Drive, Boise, was sworn by the City Attorney.
Preston: Mr. Chairman, in relation to our meeting with the Planning and Zoning
Commission essentially the findings of fact and conclusions of law they recommended on
the annexation, rezone and preliminary plat that I have submitted on this project require
me to down zone the R-15 to R-8 and R-4 and change things about a bit, hold off the
annexation and then go through a new process. If I am willing to do that they would
approve a development of this site if I am not they recommend you deny this. I would like
to, I was surprised to get this type of response was not discussed at the hearings it was
issued after the fact. It kind of took me back and surprised me for several reasons. The
property that I am proposing here, I think you have seen the development layout is located
at Franklin Road and Locust Grove. It is 40 acres with the exception of 4 residences that
take up about 6 or 7 acres out of that. It goes right up Franklin Road and Locust Grove
on the southwest corner of that intersection. I am proposing 131 units, single family

Stiles: Commissioner Alidjani and Chairman and Commissioners, the last 2 times this
has been on the agenda there were items brought up the night of the meeting that we
weren't able to address. And then we did get another submittal last meeting that
basically my comments were pretty much the same. There are a lot of things that are
the same, that have been expressed to them before that need to be addressed. I
might be confusing some of it with Haven Cove No. 4 but it is similar.

ITEM #2: TABLED AT APRIL 12, 1994 MEETING: PINE MEADOWS ANNEXATION
AND ZONING REQUEST BY RON WALSH:
Meridian Planning & Zoning
May 10, 1994
Page 4
Rountree: Mr. Chairman, I have a question for Counsel on this particular issue, it
appears that they have changed the zoning request. Would these item have to be
reheard?
Crookston: It should be if they changed the requested zoning, what have they
changed.
Hepper: From Mixed PUD to R-15, is that right?
Rountree: That is what their indicates.
Crookston: Shari do you know how this was noticed?
Stiles: Commissioners, this originally went out as an MPUD and I'm not sure the
second notice was (inaudible). I was wondering if this is one that could be handled
at the City Council public hearing, if that would be adequate. If the Commission is
acting on it tonight as an R-15 request.
Crookston: I don't recall how I handled in the findings, and I don't have a copy of the
findings here tonight.
Stiles: I don't think there were any findings, it was tabled because of a request for
a MPUD.
Johnson: We didn't have any.
Rountree: The table motion was because they had not identified the zone and until
such time as they did.
Crookston: It probably should be reheard.
Stiles: Before this Commission?
Crookston: Yes
Johnson: It was originally tabled because it didn't come in with a zoning right?
Rountree: That is correct.
Stiles: We do have some others that are in this similar plight.
Meridian Planning & Zoning
May 10, 1994
Page 5
Crookston: That are?
Stiles: That since the initial hearing have requested other than what was first noticed.
Crookston: Were they requested as PUD's?
Stiles: I am thinking of St. Luke's.
Crookston: We could handle it at the City Council level it would be more appropriate
to notice it correctly. We don't have a PUD zone.
Stiles: So your decision is to rehear it before the Commission?
Crookston: I think that is the appropriate thing to do.
Stiles: It was City staff that instructed them to ask for the MPUD, just to note that.
Crookston: Well, we have had the public hearing, we could go forward and change
it and make sure it is done correctly at the City Council.
Johnson: What would you like to do Commission?
Rountree: Mr. Chairman, I move we have counsel prepare findings of fact and
conclusions.
Hepper: Second
Johnson: It has been moved and seconded that we have the City Attorney prepare
findings of fact and conclusions of law on Pine Meadows annexation and zoning, all

discussion?
Hepper: Mr. Chairman, I have one. I don't believe I saw any place in here, it was
c
Meridian Planning & Zoning
April 12, 1994
Page 35
Johnson: Your point is taken well, it is just that the other cuts and we are talking a
narrow entrance way.
Hepper: And that is not a decision we make. I also think the park area back there,
that is also not a decision that is up to us, but I think the City has got a real
opportunity there to pick up some park land before it is all gone. And maybe make
that park a little bit bigger and take over the control of it. It appears that the park is
out on the fringes of the people that are paying .for. And there are several
subdivisions around there that are going to be using it unless you put up a fence and
don't let people in there.
Johnson: As you know the City is developing their posture right now on that, parks
in general. Perhaps a merger with Western Ada Recreation District, so that is a matter
of policy that is being determined right now.
Hepper: I think maybe the developer could talk to the City about that and see if
something could be worked out on that too. It may or may not be the type of thing
they are attracted to because of size. My understanding, the smaller the park the
bigger the headache from the City's perspective. Any other comments- or discussion?
What would you like to do on this application?
Hepper: Mr. Chairman, I move we have the City Attorney prepare findings of fact.
Rountree: Second
Johnson: We have a motion for the City Attorney and a second to prepare findings
of fact and conclusions of law on this annexation and zoning request for Robert
Glenn, all those in favor? Opposed?

ITEM #9: PUBLIC HEARING: ANNEXATION AND ZONING FOR PINE MEADOWS:
Johnson: I will now open the public hearing on that application. Is there a
representative that would like to address the Commission?
Ron Walsh, 12002 Fiddler Drive, Boise, was sworn by the Attorney.
Walsh: I am here tonight representing 3 landowners that are requesting to have 23.3
acres annexed into the City of Meridian. I've got the staff comments and I want to
say that we don't have any major objection to any of the comments. The City
Meridian Planning & Zoning
April 12, 1994
Page 36
Engineer has pointed out that the parcel bordered by the city of Meridian and that is
on 2 sides, we touch it on 2 sides. But we are also completely surrounded by the
City and we lie to the east so the City is to the west of us. It is serviced by sewer
and water, all 3 parcels. We don't have a problem with amending the legal
description to include (inaudible) center lines. The (inaudible) of the comments are
acceptable to us, the one thing I wanted to go over was Shari's comments. Although
we have requested annexation we are not horribly particular about the zoning. We
haven't really requested the mixed PUD zone. Wayne• Forrey and I have worked for
months on this entire area and it was his idea to zone or to put into the
Comprehensive Plan the Mixed PtJD zone. We have under control about 50 acres, we
see some different uses in there, but we feel that the conditional use process should
take care of each one of those uses. Apparently, she has made mention here of a
City park. I have talked to Wayne about the size of the parcel and the scope of what
we want to do in there and told him that we didn't necessarily have a problem with
dedicating some of our land to a park. There are a couple of landowners that do have
the same zone and would be.receptive to giving a portion of that park. We have had
some dialogue, nothing in writing, but we envision about 5 acres, but it would be
these people would contribute only a couple. And then a parcel that we have control
of directly to the south would contribute 1 or 1 1 /2 and then one of our neighbors to
the west would contribute some. So, at the planning process I assumed we would
take care of that and there would be some trade offs and that seems fine. Her final
paragraph there is a little confusing to me and I did speak with her briefly tonight. I
would ask that we continue on, 1 know you have to have 2 public hearings before I
can be annexed so I request that we continue on tonight and allow us to move ahead
with this and this MPUD zoning that does not exist yet in your development
ordinance. We can either address that as we push forward or we can amend our
application to a zoning that you do have on the books. I don't want to see the
landowners injured because there is a Comprehensive Plan that the City has agreed
to put on there but does not have written in their development ordinance. I don't
believe that she really want to see us get tabled tonight, so I would just request that
we push ahead. Any questions?
Johnson: Yes, I have a question, why didn't you apply for a zone that existed at the
time of the application, my application says mixed use.
Walsh: Well, the mixed use was basically just to make it easy for everyone because
it is within your Comprehensive Plan. We have 50 acres there that spans from
Fairview Avenue back to the new Pine Street extension. The reason we are even
involved in these particular parcels is that we have been working with the City to
bring my partners plant out and put it in the business section towards the back. We
don't even know what we are going to do with it.
Meridian Planning & Zoning
April 12, 1994
Page 37
Johnson: Yes, I am familiar with the property, that was my question. My question
is there is a spot on the application that requires a zoning request that you haven't
properly addressed.
Walsh: Well, I suppose on this particular piece I would have to say of your existing
zones, I'd take R-15.
Johnson: All we can work with are the existing zones.
Walsh: Well, we really didn't want to request a particular zone because we didn't
want to cast a light on the landowners that would cause them to slow the process
down. We want to fit within your guidelines and we thought that if you just had the
Comp Plan revised 3 or 4 months ago and had a mixed PUD zone or Comp layed over
it that that would be the easiest way to do it that was our mistake.
Johnson: Thank you, are there any questions the Commissioners would like to ask?
None, this is a public hearing, would anyone like to come forward at this time. I will
close the public hearing. What would you gentleman like to do?
Rountree: Mr. Chairman, I make a motion that we table this item until we hear from
the applicant specifically what the zoning request is before we consider annexation.
Alidjani: Second
Johnson: It has been moved and seconded that we table this item until we get
further clarification on the type of zoning requested, all those in favor?
Crookston: You need to table it until a certain date.
Rountree: The next regularly scheduled meeting
Johnson: We have a motion and a second to table until May 10th, all those in favor?
Opposed?
