Attention: City Counsel of Meridian
33 East Idaho Ave.
Meridian, Idaho 83642
Dear City Counsel Members,
Idaho Tent ~ Canvas has been a downtown merchant of Meridian since June 1, 1971 making us
the third oldest business in the community. Recently, Idaho Tent & Canvas was given notice by the
building owner that new tenants would be occupying the premises in which we reside in as little as 30
days or as much as 45 days. Idaho Tent 8~ Canvas purchased land in the new Meridian Business Park
on the comer of SE 5m and Bower and are in the process of building a new shop. However, we are
still waiting for the architect to finish the building plans and to submit them to the building department
for obtaining the necessary permits. With the little notice we have been given this creates a bit of a
problem for us. We would like to place a temporary job site trailer on the land we currently own to use
as a store front for our customers.
It is also important that we remain in Meridian in order to keep our current phone number.
However, it is our understanding this must be approved by the Counsel and the Mayor of Meridian. If
the job site trailer is approved, the immediate hook up for power, water and sewer would also help
create revenue for the city. Thus the reason for this letter. We have explored the option of short term
leasing in the Meridian area, but it has been difficult to locate space to lease for only 4 to 6 months.
Our other option would be to lay off all current employees until the shop is finished in early 1997. This
is an option we don't feel right about taking as ~ would not be fair to the employees, their families and
our customers.
Our new shop will be completed in 4 to 6 months, if we don't encounter any construction delays. If
the temporary job site trailer is approved, we would request a 9 to 12 month permit in case we do
experience any of the aforementioned delays. We appreciate your prompt consideration of this
matter. Thank you.
Sincerely,
~~ , -~

Corrie: This is more of an update for the Counselor. We do have the signatures required
for the 60% figure now, is that correct?
Berg: Yes I have received signatures, I have not yet checked to see if they are the true
property owners but I am in the process of doing that.
Corrie: So after we get those attested we will get with you Wayne and start the proceeding
for the (inaudible).
ITEM #12: IDAHO TENT AND CANVAS: REQUEST FOR A TEMPORARY SALES
TRAILER:
Corrie: Is there a representative from Idaho Tent and Canvas here tonight?
Draper: I am Richard Draper, the address is 706 East First here in Meridian where the
business is located. The situation that has occurred is that the building has gone under
a new ownership and in the process of raising the rent more than double in the last few
months anticipating this I went out and purchased property over in the Meridian Industrial
Park. We did get a notice at the first of the month to be out of there at the end of the
month. Today or yesterday the architect brought me my preliminary blue prints for the
building we are planning on that property. The reason we need to continue, we can't just
disappear off the face of the earth because we have anywhere from 50 to 100 customers
items in there right now we are working on and are coming in and out daily. We have no
place to go if we can't set up over there. We have looked into rent locally they either want
a year lease or five. A lot of them don't want manufacturing in their buildings. Down off of
E. Pine, by the pizza place there we have already looked into that. So our only option was
to build our own. We have the property and now we have (inaudible) these blue prints
were brought over today for the final, making sure all the lines were in place so we could
do the final one to bring into the building department for approval. We are asking for that
because I don't know how long it v: ill take for the approval but we anticipate 90 days in thF
construction if everything goes well. That is why we are asking for a little 6 months or 8
months in there in case we hit bad weather or construction delays to get the building
completed. If we get the permit to put the trailer in there we can get one from construction
trailers to set in there and put, so our customers can continue to find us and we will have
our phone there. We have been down. there for 25 years down here in Meridian and we
are not going to leave Meridian. If, we immediately have to get water, sewer and phone
line everything hooked up to the property. We would run it on the property to
approximately where the corner of the building is going to be anyway. So that when we
continue with it, it would hook onto the building where it belongs. It would fit the original
plans of the blue prints.

Rountree: It is my understanding that the on site trailer is just a store front and you will
actually be doing, you have areas identified where you can continue to do your
manufacturing I assume.
Draper: There would be some work done there but mainly we will be receiving from the
customers and handing back out. We could set up over in my son's garage over in Boise
to do some of the work so our work would continue and we wouldn't lose our customer
base.
Corrie: Any questions? Thank you Dick, Council, questions, discussions?
Morrow: Mr. Mayor I would move that we grant Idaho Tent and Canvas, Mr. Dick Draper
a permit for a temporary sales trailer for a period of 8 months.

predetermination hearing at 7:30 P.M. October 1, 1996 before the Mayor and City Council
to appear in person to be judged on the facts and defend the claim made by the City that

discontinued on October 2, 1996 unless payment is received in full. Is there anyone
