STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
VALLEY CENTER MARKET PLACE
1. The proposed internal transportation facility will be a private drive. The construction will
be consistent with commercial developments where internal access is provided to
parking facilities adjoining the businesses. Typically, pedestrian facilities are provided
with walkways or other mechanisms. The applicant will need to provide additional
information to the City.
Ada County Highway District will require a 5 foot sidewalk along Overland Road. They
may request the applicant trust fund for the sidewalk and prohibit construction of the
facility. The City needs to take this information into consideration when placing
conditions of approval.
2. The westerly portion of the parcel is designated mixed planned use development. A
request for annexation and rezone was submitted and approved for C-G with a
development agreement. The easterly portion of the parcel is zoned C-G. The
subdivision application for the purpose of a commercial development is consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan and existing zoning designation of C-G. The applicant is
aware of the annexation requirement on the westerly portion which requires a planned
development or Conditional Use application for all uses.
3. The property abuts the Ten Mile Creek sewer interceptor. Therefore, sewer service is
available on the property. A 10-inch water main is currently located in Overland Road
and will require extension to the parcel's west boundary.
4. The proposed lots meet all standards set forth in the Meridian Zoning Ordinance.
5. All existing easements are shown on the preliminary plat. Any additional easements will
be addressed and delineated with the final plat.
6. No new public streets are proposed.
7. Existing uses and zoning in the subject property area:
North: Interstate 84 and vacant property, zoned RT
South: Single family residences and agricultural uses, zoned R-1
East: Commercial (Mr. Sandman Motel, JB's Restaurant and
Texaco Station, zoned C-G

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
VALLEY CENTER MARKET PLACE
The proposed internal transportation facility will be a private drive. The construction will
be consistent with commercial developments where internal access is provided to
parking facilities adjoining the businesses. Typically, pedestrian facilities are provided
with walkways or other mechanisms. The applicant will need to provide additional
information to the City.
Ada County Highway District will require a 5 foot sidewalk along Overland Road. They
may request the applicant trust fund for the sidewalk and prohibit construction of the
facility. The City needs to take this information into consideration when placing
conditions of approval.
2. The westerly portion of the parcel is designated mixed planned use development. A
request for annexation and rezone was submitted and approved for C-G with a
development agreement. The easterly portion of the parcel is zoned C-G. The
subdivision application for the purpose of a commercial development is consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan and existing zoning designation of C-G. The applicant is
aware of the annexation requirement on the westerly portion which requires a planned
development or Conditional Use application for all uses.
3. The property abuts the Ten Mile Creek sewer interceptor. Therefore, sewer service is
available on the property. A 10-inch water main is currently located in Overland Road
and will require extension to the parcel's west boundary.
4. The proposed lots meet all standards set forth in the Meridian Zoning Ordinance.
5. All existing easements are shown on the preliminary plat. Any additional easements will
be addressed and delineated with the final plat.
6. No new public streets are proposed.
7. Existing uses and zoning in the subject property area:
North: Interstate 84 and vacant property, zoned RT
South: Single family residences and agricultural uses, zoned R-1
East: Commercial (Mr. Sandman Motel, JB's Restaurant and
Texaco Station, zoned C-G
West: Commercial (Mountain View Equipment, zoned C-3

Dear Bruce:
N~RIDIAN CITY ENGINEER
September 12, 1995
This letter is in regard to the comments submitted to the Planning and Zoning
Commission and dated September 7, 1995. Each item will be addressed in
numerical order as follows:
General Comments
1. The Kennedy Lateral traverses the northwest portion of the subject
property. I have been in contact with John Anderson of Nampa Meridian
Irrigation District on flows and pipe sizes. Preliminary discussions indicate
the lateral will require a 36 inch pipe and will have to be relocated outside
the Overland Road right-of-way. A design will be required by Nampa
Meridian for their review and approval.
2. I have no knowledge of any existing septic systems or wells on the
property. However, we will investigate these issues and comply with City
Ordinance 5-7-517.
3. Ground water investigation will be required prior to design of any storm
drainage systems. I will inform the client of the City's policy concerning
the subject.
4. Restrictive covenants will be drafted for the project by the applicant.

1111 S. Orchard, Suite 600 ~ Boise, Idaho 83705 • (208) 344-9700 Fax# (208) 345-2950
•
These documents will be submitted for the City's review prior to submittal
of the final plat.
5. I am aware of the City's requirement of 5ft. sidewalks. We will be required
to meet the policy standards of Ada County Highway District which may
require trust funding of the sidewalks on Overland Road. Coordination of
sidewalks will be necessary.
6. We will coordinate with the City by providing information necessary for the
hydraulic water analysis.
7. No new public streets are proposed in this project. I am currently waiting
for comment by the Ada County Engineer on the subdivision name.
8. We will coordinate the fire hydrant locations with City of Meridian.
9. A street drainage plan will be submitted for ACHD and the City's review
after obtaining preliminary plat approval.
Site Specific Comments
The project engineer will coordinate sewer design (size & location) with
the City Engineer. The preliminary engineering plan has been modified to
incorporate the requested changes.
2. The project engineer will coordinate water design with the City Engineer.
The requested modification is reflected on the revised preliminary
engineering plan.
3. Modifications were made to the preliminary engineering plan based upon
the suggested comments. These changes were based upon preliminary
assumptions and therefore cannot be finalized until the actual design
phase. Some items cannot be addressed or finalized until the design
phase begins.
4. A master street grading and drainage plan will be provided to the City
after the design phase.
5. Preliminary street light locations have been added to the preliminary
engineering design. The project engineer will coordinate the hydrant and
street light locations with the City prior to the design phase.
950615
•
6. See revised plan.
7. It appears the existing 12 inch irrigation pipe which runs north will have to
be relocated. The 1963 easement of record which protects the irrigation
pipe is ambiguous. No legal description of the easement exists. The
reference is "a ditch which extends along and adjacent to the easterly
boundary of the Osborn Tract, and together with the right of ingress and
egress to and from said right-of-way for the purpose of constructing...
such pipeline... for the irrigation of the respective tracts of Volle, Gregory
and Johnson." No dimension on the easement was addressed in the
document. We will coordinate any modification of the pipe with Nampa
Meridian Irrigation District and the property owner's north of Interstate 84.
8. A design will be provided to the City reflecting the street section for the
private drive after consultation with the applicant.
If you have any further questions, please call me.

for cutting pavement.
B. On May 3, 1995, the Commission acted on x~one MRZ-x-95 which includes the western
portion of this site.
C. Tl~ site is currently utideveiog~.
D. Overland Road has only two travel lanes at the present time. An im~gation canal borders the
south edge of the project site {i.e. the north edge of Overland Road). The ultimate
developmern of Overland Road is expected tQ include five lanes {i.e. two travel lanes for
each direction plus a center turn lane). This roadway section will require 9afeet of right-of-
way.
The presence of the canal on the north side of Overland Road will complicate the ulthnate
design and right-of-way requirements. Staff reco~nds that the applicairt coordinate the
dedication of additional right-of-way and relocation of the irrigation canal out of tln• fittue
right~f--way with the Dis~ict and the appropriate irrigation district. This nxluires a ta:w
easement for the canal.

E. A traffic signal may be required at the westerly entry drive dcpendiug open future
development within the proposed subdivision.
F. Overland Road bas a vertical curve east of the project. Sight distance is a major coiaxrn in
determining driveway locations. Staff has rCVievved flue eight distance at the proposed private
driveway intersection with taverhwd Road based upon the ptof le plan submitted by the
applicant. For the planted location, the proposed driveway provides t siglrt distance.
However, no other driveways east of the main sifie driveway can be allowed due w eight
~cestrictions.
O. In accordance with District policy, staff rs tbat the apQlic~t be required to
construct 1,7U0-feet of 5-foot wide eonerste sidewalk on O~-erland Road abutting the Parcel.
H. This site has suf~eient frontage do qualify for a maximum of 3 points of access. The
applicant is prapositig two private roads and two shared driveways on Overland Road. The
site has been designed with 41ots that only have frozrtage oa Ovetland Road, and staff
believes this is a less than, optimal design sine it abate a minor arterial street. Staff
recommeinds that the access to toe site be restricted to the two private roads and one shared
driveway on Lot 25 with a fiontage raadlease>'ueut to provide access to the b-lots between the
private roads.
The aQplicarn has indicated that staff has discussed access to this sine ai an earlier datie. Staff
told the appl~ant the nmmber of driveways allowed is conformance with the District policy
in effiecx at flee time. Staff does not believe that tear review of this subdivision should be
bound by the previous discussion. The subdivision should be reviewed is compliance with
the turreut District policy.
I. In compliance with District policy staff recomtne~s that direct lot access to Overland Road
be prohbited, with the exception of the above stated shared driveway an Lot Z5. Lot access
nesorictions should be stated on the tlnal plat.
7. The transgor[atian system wdl be adegaaLe i+o accommodate additional traffic generated by

Corrie: Is Mr. or Mrs. Vaughn here or Max Boesiger?
Boesiger: Thank you Mayor, Mr. Mayor and members of the Council I am Richard Boesiger
with Max Boesiger Inc. After our last meeting we looked at the site again and determined
that the s" ~ortest distance for the service line from the existing hc,~se would be straight out _
the front of the house and tie into the main line in Ustick. With the actual location of the
line being 2 to 3 feet off of property line. This is the shortest distance and it is also in
compliance with the staff's recommendation or preferences that the service line be all on
the property that it is serving. I would also like to add we agree with the concept of growth
paying its own way, every developer knows that he has to bring, in osier to develop a
subdivision he has to bring sewer to it and through it. If you are also unlucky enough to
be adjacent to an arterial or main line you also have to carry that through also. We have
done all of that. We don't feel like this request has anything to do with new growth, this is
a simple request by the owner of a 40 year old house to hook up to sev~eer now that it is
available. Again we are just asking your permission to hook up that existing house to
sewer and to pay the double fee. Thank you

FIVE MINUTE RECESS
ITEM #9: REQUEST FOR ANON-DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR INTERSTATE
CENTER:
(Inaudible)
Morrow: Let me ask you this Shari, have we not done development agreements before at
various stages from preliminary plat to final plat? I guess my question here is why do we
have to approve a final plat without construction drawings to do anon-development
agreement?
Stiles: The non-development agreement would have no use unless you have a recorded
plat. We don't do non-development agreements on non-recorded subdivisions.
Seel: Jonathan Seel, I am with the W.H. Moore Company, the purpose of being here
tonight is just to give you a very brief history, this is Interstate Center which has been '
referred to at different times as Valley Center Marketplace. But the final name is Interstate
Center. The preliminary plat was approved back in November of last year. We came in
with the final this year and started providing documentation and was instructed by staff that
we needed to provide construction drawings as part of the process of getting the final.
The purpose of being here tonight is to ask I think very simply that we go ahead and in lieu
of doing construction drawings we can provide anon-development agreement. I will
explain the reason, in essence the way this has been set up is it has given us a certain
degree of flexibility in terms of whether we might go in the direction of more retail or we
might go in terms of a business park. Given that depending on how it turns out the
~J
Meridian City Council

construction drawings we may spend up to $20,000 could tum out to be very useless.
Another point that is very important and we are finding out and I think the more important
point in this thing is that as we are talking to particular investors people who are looking
at purchasing this land or doing developments within this project one of the main concerns
is the land plated. Our comment right now is it isn't and that creates a great deal of
concem to them. As an example right now we have a plat into the County and it has been
in there 7 weeks and it will most likely be in there another 2 or 3. There is plenty of land
if you go down Nampa or Caldwell or you go towards Boise as I think you are all very
aware that it is platted right now and very suitable to develop it. Most people out there do
not want to take the chance of saying great we will go ahead and proceed and then find
out that this land is not platted at the time they are ready to go in there and develop. It puts
us way behind the curve on this and it puts us in position where we really can't effectively
market this project to the various people out there. What we are suggesting is that if we
can go ahead and do a non~levelopment agreement and at the time we know what we are
going to do then we can come in with the construction plans because we will know. Things
may change over time as we are talking to different people. People are saying well this is
our requirements, this is what we need, these are the modifications that we want and what
have you. Those can change from what we see right here. They may not but they could
potentially. Our feeling is if we provide you with anon-development agreement it will give
you the comfort of what I think you are looking for in terms of assuring that we don't sell
some dirt to somebody, they go in there and get ready to develop and then they find out
that there is not roads and infrastructure in there. As Mr. Moore said when I met with him
we are not trying to pull anything fast here, we are not trying to slip something by the City,
all we are asking very simply to the point that we know what we are going to do that we
don't have to spend the amount of money on construction drawings that as I have said
potentially will be useless and that we will provide the development agreement that I think
will be structured in such a way that will give you the comfort and allow us to go ahead and
get the plat finalized so we can talk to the people out there and potentially talk to the
businesses that will come to this community and t think without saying will create the
enjoyment and the of environment for the City tr~at I think we are striving for. We want this
to be a quality project, we simply need your assistance in getting to that point. -
Corrie: Council, questions? Discussion
Morrow: 1 guess discussion from my standpoint is that in terms of trying to do construction
drawings at this point when we can make those conditions of the non-development
agreement prior to re-activating the parcel does seem like a waste of money because it
is difficult to do construction drawings when you don't know who your tenants are and
what their desires might be. Other than just concept renderings and of course there is not
a lot there that is very meaningful. So I don't have a problem with doing anon-
development agreement and crafting within that development agreement some of the staff
Meridian City Council

conditions and concerns. Also the City Attorney's concerns.
Rountree: I would like to have Gary respond to that.
Smith: Mr. Mayor and Councilmen, I believe and I will paraphrase this a little because I am
not sure of the exact wording, but in the ordinance part of the final plat submittal requires
that development plans be submitted five sets with the plat. That is a package, it all comes
in at the same time. From my standpoint if the applicant wants to do something different
then what the ordinance requires then a variance would be required from the ordinance
requirements. The second thing is that the preliminary plat on this project has been
approved I believe by Council but the final plat has not, there is a one year time limit
between the approval of the preliminary plat and the required approval of the final plat or
the preliminary plat approval goes away. There is also a one year time limit from final plat
approval to required recording of the final plat or final plat approval goes away. I don't
know what the applicant time line is in marketing the property on the second part of those
comments. But on the first part it seems to me that if the development plans are not forth
coming with the final plat then a variance should be requested from the ordinance
requirements because it is a shall requirement. I might be commenting here when Shari
should be commenting but I believe that is what the ordinance says.
Morrow: Now the construction information you are referring to is site construction, sewer,
water, it is not necessarily building construction.
Smith: That is correct, it is what I call the off site construction. Sewer, water plans, street
plans. Which in effect is defining the alignmerrt of the streets within the subdivision which
in turn defines the lot configurations of the subdivision.
Seel: (Inaudible) One of the things too that was requested of us was to meet with Mr.
Crookston who is unfortunately not here tonight. I did meet with him and discuss this thing
just as 1 have discussed it today. His comment was he did not see any problem with it
again and anyone is certainly welcome to talk to him I am not going to try and put words
in his mouth. That was his comment to us which gave us the comfort to move forward.
Again I think and I just want to emphasize it is not so much the time frame of this, that is
really not the issue. When we are sitting down with an investor across the table one of his
questions is do you have a final plat. No we don't have a final plat, at that point you can
kind of see the light goes dim and you can see them looking in different directions. We
are at a disadvantage right now in order to compete with what is a lot of other land
available in the market Mr. Moore as you are probably aware owns Meridian Business
Park. Wedid anon-development agreement with that and I know that goes back a ways.
But we put the infrastructure in before we really began to talk as far as any type of
development we would have done if that infrastructure was in. 1 think the key thing is here

we need help in terms of being able to market to people out there in the community.
Whether we had 2 years, five years or two weeks between the preliminary and final is
really irrelevant in my opinion. It is whether we can respond to that and say we have the
final. That and whether or not there are other hurdles out there that we have to achieve.
They don't hear that, they hear no we don't have a final plat. So again what we are really
trying to do is put ourselves in the position where we can go out there and talk to these
people and compete. We are talking to people, this is not a pipe dreare~. But you can easily
have 16, 20 weeks or better between the time it takes to get a final plat. approved. As I say
we are one right now in the County and it is 8 weeks. As another example on a project we
did in Boise and I understand this is not Boise. We went ahead bec~se it was platted we
were able to go ahead and consummate a transaction with (inaudible) Medical and in that
particular case the road wasn't in yet. But they were comfortable enough to proceed with
it because they knew the plat was in place, they knew we could move forward with the
road. Had that plat not been in place and it is only speculation I would have to venture a
guess that it was unlikely that they would have taken that risk. So, again without beating
this too much we are simply asking for your assistance. We are asking for a way that we
can move forward, be in that ring with both hands in front of us instead of one tied behind
our back and be able to go after those types of companies that I thir~c you want within this
community. With a preliminary plat we are at a disadvantage, whether again that is 2 years
or 3 years between now and the final. So that is really in many respects the key thing
here.
Rountree: I have a question for Gary, and maybe Mr. Seel, how would one go about
advancing roadwork on a final plat that had not construction plans with ACHD?
Smith: Councilman Rountree you couldn't proceed without approval from ACHD on the
street plans. You could proceed with sewer and water without approval from the City of
Meridian public works department. If they have a final plat in hand and they are selling, is
that what I am understanding that the applicant is going to proceed with final plat for
approval and then market the property? The final plat outlines the street alignment
Rountree: If that were to change then the plat would have to be modified. - -
Smith: Right, so I guess I don't understand the rationale here to have a final plat but not
have development plans that are drawn around the final plat. If streets start changing in
the final plat and lots are delineated on the final plats and lots start changing then that
comes back to the City Council for approval again. Or back to P & Z What have I missed,
obviously there
Bowcutt: Becky Bowcutt, Briggs Engineering, I think I can answer Gary's questions. One
of the problems that we have had with the commercial developments and having the utility

C~
easements either in prior to the buyer coming in and purcthasing a lot is utility locations
and sizing of like our water lines and so forth. We have had some cases where we had to
tear out streets and they had to be reconstructed. It had to be moved over. The example
that Jonathan gave of the Westpark project it was a previously platted development, it had
been done quite awhile. We came in and did plans and we went through the City of Boise
with our sewer plans, United Water with our water, ACHD with our street plans and we put
that street and sized and the lot configuration we did a lot line adjustment to accommodate
(inaudible) who was relocating from downtown. So that the lot line adjustments and the
fact that we don't have any dedicated right of way internally within. this project. The utilities
are to the property, there is central sewer to our north boundary. There is central water on
our southeast corner. So we don't have any off site design that would be required,
everything is internal within the project. Ada County Highway District will sign a plat
without plans if you bond for improvements or you sign anon-development agreement with
them. They do allow us to do that under certain circumstances. We will have some
flexibility on this plat I think with the lot line adjustments. We have never, we have sized
these lots based on what we can guess a typical user however they always change. One
thing problem we have is relocating of seepage beds. We did on a project just a few
months ago over where the Bureau of Land Management building was going in. The
building ending up having to be placed right where we had a $30,000 seepage bed. It was
tom up, it was relocated and moved. In doing so irrigation was damaged that went onto
an adjoining property that had to be repaired. It is just really difficult these are totally unlike
a residential subdivision in how they are developed and over the long term how they build
out and what the needs are. Every user has a different need. Based on the ordinance this
concept that we brought forward to this body is the most flexible concept that we could
come up with within the confines of the ordinance. We understand that you do not have
carte blanche, we can't come back and it just turns this loop road that is already a
recorded plat turns into just a culdesac, we understand that but it does give us the
flexibility to make some minor modifications based on the State code and the City of
Meridian code. So we are just basically trying to work within the confines and figure out
a solution to these peoples problems and based on our experience with problems on other
commercial developments. Thank you.
Corrie: Thank you Becky.
Morrow: Mr. Mayor, it seems to me that there are some legal issues that need to be
resolved and it might be to our benefit, to the applicant's benefit and the staffs benefit to
have City Attorney Crookston here or between now and our next meeting prepare some
information as to some guidelines as to how we ought to be going here. Gary has some
valid issues to address that we need to cover. 1 think it is beneficial to table to the next
meeting and in between now and then have City Attorney Crookston address the issues
that we have got to deal with this from or what standpoint we need to deal with it or the

ITEM #10: CONCERNS REGARDING FENCE VARIANCE FOR LOT 13 AND 14, BLOCK
2 OF HAVEN COVE SUBDIVISION:
Corrie: Is Russ or Paula Rice, or John and Suzanne Van Zante here? Would you like to
come up please and address the Council.
Van Zante: My name is John Van Zante I live at 2642 West Leonard, Russ Rice is here
as well and he would like to express some of his concerns as well. We live in Haven Cove
Subdivision and cun'ently a variance has been granted to fence off the two lots directly to
the east of my property. After talking with Mr. Stucker the owner his has informed me that
he intends to use these lots for storage, to store RV's and whatever. He even mentioned
offering storing other neighbors RV's within in this particular area. My concern first of all
is that fencing off two lots in the middle of his subdivision is not harmonious to the rest of
the property owners. My concern is property values will be decreased, I bought in a
subdivision, there were several undeveloped lots within that subdivision. It wasn't a big
deal, these two were no exception. Now come to find out the owner wants to fence them
off and put a storage unit next to my house. It kind of upsets me. So my ~.oncem, I am not
an attorney, I don't understand all of the legal ramifications but I am not sure that it would
be legal for him to do this. I don't think it would be legal if I were to go into the middle of
anybody else's subdivision and buy a lot fence it off and park a boat. The lots are zoned
residential, the primary use is for residential. Yes ultimately they are not going to be used
residentially. There have been rumors going around the neighborhood as to what exactly
Mr. Stucker's final end use will be. And frankly I don't wish to share those because 1 am
not Mr. Stucker and I can't tell you. I guess all t am looking for is an answer, can he, is it,
can he fence these two lots off in the middle of our subdivision and do anything with it
other than a house? You have granted him a variance which basically in my
understanding gives him permission to do that. I don't think that like I mentioned before
that I can go out in the middle of some subdivision buy a lot and fence it off and park my

Re: Interstate Center
Overland Road west of Meridian Road
Dear Will:
The WH Moore Company is requesting that the above referenced project be put on the (yity Council agenda
for Tuesday, July 16, 1996. Specifically, we were prepared to submit the final plat to City Council for
approval. However, staff advised us that construction drawings must be provided before Council would
review the plat. The purpose for being on the agenda is to request that anon-development agreement be
provided in lieu of construction drawings. (Please understand we are asking only that Council approve the
use of the document, not the actual agreement). Obviously, we want the final plat approved, but we are
opposed to preparing construction drawings at this stage of the project for several reasons:
The plat for Interstate Center was developed to allow the greatest degree of flexibility. Currently, we
are talking to several individuals interested in locating their operations at Interstate Center and it is
highly possible that their requirements will modify the current site plan. Simply put, the construction
drawings would have no relationship to the final project and would have to be redone. This is a very
costly exercise we prefer to avoid at this time.
Although the final site plan is "not cast in concrete" it is important that the final plat be approved. We
have found that potential buyers/tenants are reluctant to move forward if the plat has not been recorded.
Their concern is the time required to record a plat and the impact it could have on their transaction.
With the amount of available land in the surrounding communities of Boise, Nampa and Caldwell,
these parties do not have to incur the risk an unrecorded plat might present.
As a result of our concerns, we met with the Mayor and Councilman Walt Morrow to express our
willingness to prepare and sign anon-development agreement. As we explained, it is our opinion that a
non-development agreement is a win/win situation for both the City and the WH Moore Company. From
our standpoint, it enables us to move forward with marketing what we believe will be a very successful
commercial project, one that will bring jobs to the community. And from the City's standpoint, the non-
development agreement assures that no development will occur, within Interstate Center, until the
necessary infrastructure is constructed. Both the Mayor and Councilman Morrow agreed with our position
but requested that we discuss this with Wayne Crookston to be assured that anon-development agreement
was legally acceptable. If no problem(s) existed then they asked that this request be heard at a future City
Council meeting.
We met with Wayne Crookston on Monday, June 24 and he has no opposition to using anon-development
agreement, with the understanding that the actual document would need Council's approval. Having
•
received Mr. Crookston's approval we are now asking that the City Council hear our request for the use of a
non-development agreement in lieu of construction drawings. We would like to attend the Tuesday, July
16th hearing if scheduling permits.
Should you have any questions or require any additional information please do not hesitate to call.
Sincere
onathan R. Seel

north south to keep the glare of the afternoon, evening sun out of your eyes. The only way
to do a full court basketball court in this situation would be to run it east-west and not to
mention it would eat up a lot of the green space. I might note that entire area whether you
consider it a separate lot I suppose it could be platted as separate tot lot and basketball
court lot but I don't know that does any good. It is probably better off being platted as one
common area lot. In any case that entire common area lot there is roughly the length of
a football field, 300 feet long, 100 yards long. Anyway, if the Council has any other
questions I would be glad to address them.
Morrow. The lots will be maintained and owned by the homeowners association will they
not anyway?

Morrow: So it does not matter if it is one lot or two lots.
Turnbull: Correct.

ITEM #16: PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR A PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR VALLEY
CENTER MARKET PLACE BY W.H. MOORE COMPANY:
Tolsma: Is there a representative here?
Becky Bowcutt, Briggs Engineering, 1111 South Orchard, Boise, was sworn by the City
Meridian City Council
December 19, 1995

Attorney.
•
Bowcutt: This particular property is approximately 39 acres in size. It is located north of
Overland Road on the south side of I-84. It is just west of Meridian .Road. The property
adjoins the Sandman Motel, the JB's Restaurant on its east boundary to the west is
Mountain View Equipment. Then obviously north is Interstate 84. The blue area that you
see right there in the northeast corner is Five Mile Creek that runs through there or Ten
Mile Creek runs through there. It goes under the Interstate, there is also a City sewer main
that runs through that area. There is an easement that exists. We have water, it is
available right at this point, we will have to extend the water to our west boundary and then
we will hook onto the sewer on that northeast corner. We have approximately 26
commercial lots as you recall a few months ago we annexed and zoned this to C-G. The
applicant is proposing some retail or office uses in this particular development. It does
have the overlying planned development areas zoning or comp plan over the top of it. The
uses will require a conditional use application. Ada County Highway District as reviewed
it, they have approved it with the four approaches. The Commission has endorsed the staff
report. They have checked it for off site visibility because of the little hill that is right in this
area here. They have checked our site visiblity and it meets all ACHD standards. The
internal roadways are proposed as private. The reason we have done that is to allow
maximum flexibility when this property develops if we go in with public right of ways we
have to go through a lengthy process to vacate the public right of ways. And therefore for
example up on the cul-de-sac area on the northwest corner if a particular user was going
to purchase all four of those lots and say put one large building we basically just vacate
the easement versus going through the right of way vacation. That process takes about
six months. In our discussions with the applicant these street sections will be built to
public street standards with a 41 foot section, 5 foot sidewalks, we have provided a 60 foot
easement, the original submittal we had 50. Shari requested 60 and we have modified that.
I have provided additional information to staff that they requested in their original review.
We will be meeting as I mentioned before all ACHD's requirements. They have requested
that we construct sidewalk along Overland Road. We also have the Kennedy Lateral that
comes across Overland Road, runs along our South boundary. That will have to be piped
with a 36 inch pipe. 1 have discussed it with Nampa Meridian Irrigation District and the
applicant is fully aware that will need to be piped and the (inaudible) will have to be
reviewed by Nampa Meridian and any alteration of that facility. It also has to come out of
the right of way, we will have to dedicate additional right of way and right now with the
additional right of way the lateral runs within the public right of way or the future public
right of way. At the Planning and Zoning Commission they asked us to submit a landscape
plan up along Overland Road, we did submit that plan to staff and came back to the
Planning and Zoning Commission and we agreed that we will include the maintenance
provisions and landscaping provisions within our covenants governing alf of these lot
owners. The landscaping along Overland Road vuould be an easement and those facilities

would be put in at the time that the first lot is proposed to be developed. One of the things
the Planning & Zoning Commission brought up is they didn't want to see the landscaping
done in a peice meal fashion, you may have one lot come in one year, two lots down
another lot comes in so we would have a break in the landscaping. They wanted to see
that done all at one time. The only request that we did have was with the lateral, the
landscaping would have to coincide with piping of the lateral because as you can well see
this is where the lateral will be piped, we will also have to coordinate our landscaping with
Nampa Meridian to make sure that we don't have any deep rooted trees that would disrupt
t hat pipe. Staff has also requested that we improve along that Ten Mile Creek, do some
landscaping there so that we have something that is aesthetically pleasing. The applicant
agreed that it will go in on that bank but we have that sewer line to contend with so we
can't plant any deep rooted trees but we could go with some smaller trees some
shrubbery, some lawn areas. We don't want to disrupt that natural flow. That is a
protected stream, it is listed on Water Resources list so we don't want to do anything to
disrupt that in any way. I believe that is it, do you have any questions for me?
Morrow: I have a couple, with respect to the private road system within the subdivision.
How is the proposal handled to maintain those roads?
Bowcutt: Basically they will be the responsibility of all the lot owners.
Morrow: Is there a mechanism, such as in residential subdivision it would be called a
homeowners association, is there an association set up in conjunction with the covenants
and restrictions to allow or to make that happen?
Bowcutt: Yes, we would have to provide the document and I think in my response to staff
that document would be provided with the final plat prior to your review of the final. The
documentation that lays out and spells out maintenance, how those dues will be allocated
and so forth for perpetual maintenance of this facility. It would be very similar to a good
example is Boise Town Square Mall, those are not public streets that run internally within
that facility. Those owners, they share the cost, they are different pads in there and so
forth.
Morrow. But in that case there is one major owner that being the Price Company, here you
could have as many as how ever many lots. In the covenants, the association will have the
ability to levy assessments and collect those assessments from the lot owners?
Bowcutt: Typically that is how it is handled.
Morrow. And in the structure of that, who makes the determination of when the road needs
to be repaired?
•
Meridian City Council
December 19, 1995
Page 29
Bowcutt: Who would make the determination?
Morrow. My point being is that if the City of Meridian or ACHD came along and said this
road is in need of repair how does that get to happen? As opposed to the association
saying no we don't think it needs to be repaired and so then you have a clash between 3
entities.
Bowcutt: I understand, I don't think I can answer that question at this time without
consulting with the client. Jonathan Seel is here with W.H. Moore and potentially he could
answer those questions. One thing that we do recommend for our clients is that they build
these to the ACHD standards, have them tested in the event that they ever wanted a future
dedication of these streets then that ability is there to dedicate them. They meet all
standards and we have documentation from different testing laboratories. The compaction
ratios and everything are correct.
Morrow: I understand that, my point here is though at year 10 it may be by pavement
management program would say that it needs to be seal coated and my concern for the
general taxpayer is that the association gets together and gives the roads to ACRD in
need of repair and we as taxpayers fund the repair of the road when rightfully they ought
to fund the repair of the road. I am interested in seeing some sort of mechanism so that
doesn't happen automatically.
Bowcutt: That is understood, and typically I think a plantation where their streets started
to just basically fall apart due to poor construction I was told ACHD would not accept those
until they were brought up to their standards. Those particular, of course that was a
residential development they did an LID out there to bring those up to standards and specs
and then dedicating them. ACHD will not accept them is my understanding if they do not
meet the standards so that burden isn't passed onto the the taxpayers.
Morrow. In that particular situation the issue was handled in such a way, the roads were
too narrow and to meet ACRD specs. So the condition of ACHD specs and so conditions
of ACRD taking those roads was that the subdivision in future subdivision development
phases would widen the roads and do it all at homeowners expense and so the
homeowners association pays dues and a special assessment to off set cost. Actually I
have a spec house in there so paid two fees and that is how that issue was handled. But
my concern here was that we have some sort of mechanism that spells those out.
Bowcutt: Well I think Jonathan can probably address that and when that final plat comes
in that document would be submitted simultaneously. The City Attorney could review that
to make sure that those mechanisms that you are discussing are in there.

Morrow. In reviewing the minutes from the P & Z the landscaping was a major issue and
how it is maintained and you addressed those in your presentation tonight.
Bowcutt: I addressed when they will be put in and maintenance of the landscaping, I did
not address that, would be the responsibility of each lot owner since these are commercial
lots. They just typically hire a maintenance company and they do everybody's.
Morrow. With the exception of the common area, the common area is determined by the,
Bowcutt: I don't have a common area.
Morrow. in other words the landscaping that fronts along Overland is up to each individual
property to maintain.
Bowcutt: Yes sir, that is what the applicant was requesting. However the applicant would
put the facilities in to make sure that we had consistency of landscaping and it
aesthetically looked good like it was done with a plan and not piece meal fashion.
Morrow: I think very candidly for your information from my perspective Overland Road is
to be a 90 foot section line right of way, it is a major arterial. My interest would be that the
owners association maintain so that there is a consistency and so that the City in the event
that it is not being properly maintained has somebody to go to and say let's get it
maintained as opposed to the City having to deal with 6 or 8 property owners individually
and different standards of maintenance for each.
Bowcutt: Understood, I think Jonathan can probably address that.
Yerrington: I had one question on your ditch Becky, I think it is 48 inch and not 36 inch tile,
you should measure some of that out there.
Bowcutt: John Anderson indicated that he thought a 36 would work there based on the
flows and the pipe sizing they had in Elk Run. Obviously that won't be determined until we
get ready to do the design. I got the 36 inch from him.
Yerrington: Well, it is 48 across the road.
Bowcutt: Is it 48 across the road, okay 1 will bring that up to Mr. Anderson.
Jonathan Seel, 8150 Emerald, Boise, was sworn by the City Attorney.
Seel: I had just one other comment and I will address the concerns of the Councilman.
•
Meridian City Council
December 19, 1995
Page 31
The other request that we had is back here as Becky mentioned, we have a 35 foot
setback for landscape. In this area right here we of course have the canal and that falls
in that 35 foot setback. That is really kind of a moot issue. This particular lot, Lot 8, Block
6 and Lot 5 what you are asking for or what has been requested is 35 foot setback for
landscaping. What we would like to suggest is that be reduced down to 20 feet. The
reason behind that is, I think the intention here is to create somewhat of a focal point. If
you can kind of visualize going down I-84 . by the freeway once this area is totally
developed which presumably should that is the reason we are getting into this. This whole
area will be landscaped, you will have buildings, trees, you will have a variety of stuff. It
will no longer be a focal point, it won't be a focal point any more than one person out here
in this audience is a focal point. What it does is it really cuts down the area of our lots
here. I think we can get 20 feet in here and keep in mind if you are going to have
landscaping in these lots you are still going to get a, what I virould call a buffer or
something that is going to be aesthetically pleasing, give you what you want but allow us
to have lots that are developable. I think that still addresses what you want. We recognize
up here along Overland you want the 35 feet because it is a focal point. We think back
there 35 feet on the back end along I-84 when people are doing 65 and 70 down the road
it is probably a little bit more than what we would like to put in. I don't know if there are any
questions on that.
Corrie: Mr. President, you said there will be landscaping in each individual lot?
Seel: Each individual lot is certainly going to be developed, you are going to have some
landscaping presumably. You are going to have requirements in the City that you are
going to have a certain amount of trees and so forth per areas of asphalt. So what I am
suggesting is that it is just like a house (inaudible) you do have landscaping, it isn't like
you have landscaping and this is just going to be asphalt (inaudible) I think the intention
up here is to have it, but I don't think it is really necessary back here. We are losing 15 feet
of essential land.
Corrie: So you will still be landscaping the front as well as the back?
Seel: Yes sir, we would have the buffer along here and would certainly have the buffer
along here, here you are going to have it along with the canal and than falls within the
canal easement so it is really a moot issue. But over here in these particular lots what 1
would like to suggest is we reduce it down to say 15 or 20 feet which again will be
landscaped. We can provide a plan for that, we can assure that is put in in a certain form.
We would like to avoid having to do 35 feet. As I say if you look at the comprehensive
plan it talks about encouraging doing landscaping it does say specifically 35 feet. So we
are asking that be reconsidered. If there are any questions on that? I was going to
respond to your concern of the roads. We are doing a park over here in Meridian, Meridian
• •
Meridian City Council
December 19, 1995
Page 32
Business Park right now. I think what our intentions be is that we are building the roads
in conformance with ACRD which of course you are very aware you have to have certain
compaction, the depth of the asphalt and so on. If we go ahead and do that we will either
dedicate those roads I think as soon as they are constructed if that is their decision. I don't
visualize that we are going to defer that 5 or 10 years down the and say let's hand those
over to ACHD. So I am not sure that the maintenance issue is probably at least in my mind
its big concern is it might be. I don't think it is our intention, our intentions is to do these
as public roads, I think our intention would be to dedicate those to ACRD as soon as the
project is completed and not delay that. I don't see any incentive on our part if we do that.
I think what is going to dictate is ultimately what is developed within that park. If it is retail
it might be something different, but I think in this case if it is warehouse or office or that
type of thing then I think we would clearly dedicate that immediately.
Morrow. I take some issue with your comment, from my perspective in terms of develop out
as you and I both know this is an up and down game. The Meridian park that you are
referring to has been almost 15 years at development and build out from time of original
approval. What I am suggesting to you is that in the case of this that point of your
dedication of those to ACHD when it is built out could be 15 years from now. Very candidly
it seems to me like we need some sort of protections in there within that association to see
that those things happen and if in fact they are dedicated to ACHD in 4 or 5 years than fine
the issue doesn't apply. But if they are dedicated at some point in the future or not
dedicated at all as the association may desire than we need to have some provisions to
make sure that those things happen. I use as a case in point some private roads in the
Boise area and these have become major issues. It is my understanding that Boise no
longer looks at private roads because of the maintenance issues, is that correct?
Seel: That I don't know, I know in response to Meridian Business Park those roads were
dedicated immediately in phase 2 which we are completing right now. We will dedicate
those this spring when the asphalt is complete, we are partially through. But I think
presumably we can address your maintenance issues and your concerns and I think they
are viable ones. We don't have any specifics right now and I would be a liar and sat here
and tried to tell you we had something planned out and spelled it A, B, C, D. I think that
is a viable concern and we can take a look at that. I can't give you an specific answers at
this point.
Morrow: I understand that, my last question is with respect to the Ten Mile Drain. You
indicated that there was going to be some landscaping along that?
Seel: Yes, there is a buffer back there that will be landscaped too.
Morrow. How do you work that out with, it is my understanding that is owned by the Bureau
Meridian City Council

C~
of Reclamation and Nampa Meridian has a maintenance agreement.
Seel: I believe that is my understanding.
Morrow. Do you have to do any license agreement with Nampa Meridian or the Bureau of
Reclamation to do landscaping along through there?
Bowcutt: We will have to obtain their approval, submit a plan and obtain approval from
them. I have talked with both John Caywood he is the one that faxed me over the
information on it is a preserved waterway on the preservation list. And 1 have talked to
Anderson about it.
Morrow: What does a preserved waterway mean?
Bowcutt: That you can't go in and alter the channel or modify it. It is a natural drainage
channel. So we can go in and dress it up, if there was natural repairing areas that they
they deem valuable obviously we couldn't disrupt them.
Morrow: Thank you, I have no further questions.
Tolsma: This is a public hearing, does anyone else wish to offer testimony on this?
Russ Hunnemiller, Meridian, was swum by the City Attorney.
Hunnemiller: My main concern, I own the property to the east which is Mr. Sandman. I am
concerned about setbacks from property for fire. I am concerned about loading and
unloading trucks for noise and also landscaping on that side. That is about it.
Tolsma: Any questions of Russ? Anyone else wish to offer testimony on this plat? Seeing
none I will close this public hearing.
Morrow: I have questions for the staff, Gary, have your comments been addressed, the
ones dated September 7, to your satisfaction?
Smith: Councilman Morrow yes they have.
Morrow: And Shari, have your comments been addressed and I guess I would also ask
your opinion with respect to common area issues in terms of the landscaping and your
experience with private road issues.
Stiles: Councilman Morrow, are you referring to the 35 feet?
Meridian City Council
December 19, 1995
Page 34
Morrow: Yes
Stiles: We have been requiring that on all developments, some of them have been
incorporating that as a drainage swail or something. They have been able to use it as
something so they are still being able to use it for something that is useful to them. They
are just talking about the reduction to 20 feet on the north.
Morrow: That is my understanding, your comments there.
Stiles: I guess depending on what kind of a plan they had I haven't seen a plan submitted
on exactly what they would be doing along that corridor or maybe something that they can
do along Ten Mile Drain would compensate for a reduction in that. 1 don't know, I can't tell
without seeing a plan.
Morrow. And the issue with a common ownership lots, in terms of whether we ought to do
those as individual lots or have them a common area that is owned by the subdivision and
maintained by the subdivision owners association.
Stiles: From an enforcement perspective it would be much easier if it were a common
ownership and a separate lot.
Morrow: I have no further questions.
Corrie: Mr. President, Shari, I have a question (inaudible) what are you going to do on that
east landscaping next to the Sandman, what are your recommendations?
Stiles: The plat does show some grass along there, I don't know if that is some existing
grass or not. The fire wall issue would be taken care of during the building permit, they
wouldn't be issued a building permit if they didn't have the appropriate fire walls. Although
there are people that will be sleeping in the motel it is a commercial use and they do have
the same setbacks as this plat which would be zero setbacks.
Morrow. Could those issues (inaudible) each issue here is a conditional use permit
required could not some of those (inaudible) on each use for those lots that are adjoining.
Stiles: Yes, and I am sure if we got a request for trash compactors and a loading dock that
would probably need to be revised.
Corrie: If I was sleeping there I would certainly hope so.
Morrow: I have no further questions.

Rountree: Moved and seconded, all those in favor? Opposed?
MOTION CARRIED: All Yea
Rountree: Let's go back to item 2 on the agenda, which is the preliminary plat for Packard
Subdivision, we need a motion on that. I don't believe you can take any action until the
annexation and zoning has been completed.
Shearer: We have already deferred that so let's go on to 3.
Rountree: Okay, it is considered deferred until later on this evening as well.
ITEM #3: TABLED OCTOBER 10, 1995: PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR VALLEY CENTER
MARKET PLACE BY W. H. MOORE COMPANY:
Bowcutt: If you recall this item was heard I believe in September. It was a public hearing
for preliminary plat approval. The Commission asked for 3 different items, one they
wanted us to submit a landscaping plan along Overland Road for this commercial
subdivision which we have submitted landscape plans. Shari and I brought copies for you
to look at this evening. Two, at that particular time Ada County Highway District staff had
not reviewed this project formally reviewed nor had they written a staff report. We have
since received a staff report and then there was one item where we had a difference of
opinion and then we received a letter this week from Mr. Sale addressing the item. One
of you recall one of the issues that Mr. Sale brought up when we had our public hearing
was the issue of the site visibility for this approach right here. After review by the ACRD
traffic engineer it has been determined that approach is acceptable, we don't have any
hazard with visibility. I brought copies of that for you this evening. The letter on top is the
letter from Mr. Sale (inaudible). The one issue that we could not agree on was the number
of approaches, we had a previous commitment from ACHD in writing that we were allowed
up to 5 access points for these parcels on Overland Road. We had submitted a preliminary
plat showing four approaches, two were the private road accesses and two were drive
ways shared by two lots. ACHD came back and said we would only allow two
approaches then they revised their staff report and indicated they would allow only three
and then finally they agreed that they had made previous written commitments to my client
and accepted the four approaches. So I believe,
Rountree: Would you point those out?
• •
Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission
November 14, 1995
Page 19
Bowcutt: One right here, one here and then these two little gray areas are the approaches
which is a shared approach for these two lots right here. This is basically, this was done
by Hillside Nursery, this is the company that my client utilizes for his landscaping. They
show maples and some various burning bushes and junipers, old gold junipers, Autumn
Ashes, kind of scattered throughout there. This is just one half of that area. They wanted
to do it at 20 scales so it takes up a pretty big drawing. I just kind of colored that up to kid
of give you an idea of what that would look like. That second part of that design is this
right here. It is basically the same consistent, the same type of junipers, red twig
dogwoods, burning bushes, Autumn Ashes, etc.
Hepper: Would that be a berm?
Bowcut: Yes, that would be a berm and sodded.
Hepper: What would be the height of the berm?
Bowcut: They didn't indicate on this particular drawing, usually they range from anywhere
from 3 to 5 feet. Typically four commercial type developments you don't want them too high
it is not like residential where you are trying to buffer them from road noise. You want your
visibility for commercial type developments. I kind of colored this one up a little bit to kind
of give you an idea of what this particular site looks like. If you recall this Ten Mile Creek
running parallel here and then it goes across Interstate 84. This is a natural waterway, it
is listed by Water Resources a protected waterway so we can't go in there and make any
modifications to it or disrupt that in way shape or form. The City of Meridian also has a
sewer easement that runs parallel through right through here and then runs across the
interstate. There are existing I believe four existing manholes so we could, I think Shari
in her comments asked that we basically try to improve the looks of the bank on our side
but we would have to be very careful. Here I show just basically a little bit of green
showing a little contouring, maybe a little sod or something more natural like a red
(inaudible) or something like that because we can't put any trees over that sewer line, that
is basically the City's policy. Right through this area here you could put turf and trees and
shrubbery along that section of the Interstate because we don't have any interference with
the sewer line. We also kind of showed some trees and shrubbery along here so you kind
of get a visual view if you were looking from above. One of other issues that was brought
up that you wanted us to consider and come back with some answers is the maintenance
and the question of who would take responsibility of putting in these landscaping facilities
along Overland Road. After meetings with the developers they indicated that they would
be willing to stick in their protective covenants which will govern all of these commercial
lots, maintain the integrity of building styles, materials and landscaping. This particular
landscaping plan would be tied in with those covenants and therefore (inaudible) they
would have to landscape according to the plan and basically but in a timetable that this will
•
Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission
November 14, 1995
Page 20
have to be done within a certain time frame like prior to occupancy and so forth. One of
the problems that we find with commercial lots unlike, just like residential lots you don't go
in and landscape a residential lot and then tum around and build the home on the lot. The
fear is if we go in and build this when this is constructed the (inaudible) and so forth so our
preference would be obviously maintain the same type of landscaping throughout the
whole Overland frontage and this could be done by binding the plan through the
covenants. We don't want a hodge podge and nothing matches and we appreciate you
guys taking the initiative and ask that there be consistency in landscaping along there. As
far as maintenance, maintenance would be basically (inaudible)whoever owns that
particular lot just like maintenance of their trees within their parking areas, along the
perimeters of their building. The City has in their ordinance requirements that they have
so many trees and so forth and a combination of open space or grass as compared to their
asphalt. Do you have any questions?
Johnson: Does anyone have any questions? Are you finished?
Bowcutt: Yes, I think Jonathan had a couple of comments that he wanted to address.
Seel: Just one other quick comment if we can. Another requirement that was asked by the
City of Meridian was a 35 foot landscape setback along here. Of course this is I-84. What
we would like to ask is the set back also goes along here and it doesn't really affect us
because you have a sewer easement here. But we would like to ask that the City
reconsider the 35 foot setback along this area. We feel that is a fairly sizable setback and
I think the intent of that is to make that visually pleasing. I think if you can kind of visualize
going down the freeway when this park is fully developed however it might be developed,
you are going to see the buildings, you are going to see a lot of landscaping, you are going
to see a lot of different things within in that, this is not going to be a real visual point. Up
here you have an entrance and you certainly want a visual point there but back here to
give up 35 feet of the land really cuts into those lots. There will be landscaping here but
keep in mind there will be landscaping in these lots along the roads and trees and stuff so
it all will blend in. So what we would like to ask is that in this particular area right here
which would be lot 5, 6 and 8 that we reduce the setback down to say something more
in the neighborhood of 15 or 20 feet which we would landscape. Keeping in mind that the
rest of the park and the rest of the development will also be landscaped and it will be a
blend and you are not going to have quite the focal point here that your intention of 35 feet
setback up here in the entrance way you would have. So we would just ask that you
consider (inaudible).
Johnson: Shari, the setback 35 foot is part of our ordinance?
Stiles: Chairman Johnson and Commissioners, this is not in the ordinance it is expressed
•
Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission
November 14, 1995
Page 21
in the Comprehensive Plan as an ideal for entrance corridor roads.
Johnson: So it is not necessary for them require a variance then?
Stiles: No
Johnson: Thank you, Charlie you had a question of Shari.
Rountree: Shari or Gary either one, the indication by the applicant was to have the
landscape taken care of by covenants. The City has no control over covenants, what are
your thoughts on that?
Stiles: Commissioner Rountree and Commissioners, that is what is typically done in any
subdivision, residential or commercial that is what is being done at Fred Meyer, it is, I
guess I don't really know what you are getting at.
Rountree: Are the landscape requirements in those developments part of the covenants
for the subdivision or are they part of the development agreement? And the actual
approval of the subdivision plat.
Stiles: They are typically both they are included in the development agreement and have
been on some projects made conditions of the preliminary plat. Usually it is spelled out
as a common lot that is to be owned and maintained by the owners association In this
case 1 guess it would be just the developer.
Rountree: My understanding of the presentation is that it would be the responsibility of
each lot owner not a common lot to the subdivision.
Stiles: So then it wouldn't necessarily be consistent.
Rountree: The suggestion is that it be consistent by covenants by the subdivision but not
be specified in the development agreement for the subdivision or a condition of issuance
of a building permit say.
Stiles: I believe it should be in place prior to building occupancy if anything. The entire
landscaping should be in place prior to any either the building permits being issued or the
occupancies being issued. And then thereafter could be maintained but I think to be
consistent it should all be done at the same time. I think that is, is that not what.
Rountree: That is not what I heard. Becky might want to clarify that.
•
Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission
November 14, 1995
Page 22
Bowcutt: If I could clarify that, basically what, we want this to be bound by a particular plan
that is on file at the City. So it wouldn't just be some comment in the covenants refereeing
consistency in the landscaping. We are talking about binding the project to a specific plan
that is on file. All the uses within this project fall under the conditional use category
because of the planned development. So at that time you will have those landscaping
requirements imposed. We have landscaping requirements imposed with our development
agreement when we did our annexation of the_ western 20 acres. Then we could have
another condition so I think we have covered ourself multiple times. As far as construction
of the landscaping facilities the developers preference would be that it be constructed in
conformance with the plan on file at the City and referenced in the covenants as each lot
develops. And then that area will be maintained by that commercial retail or office or
whatever that particular use would be. They would maintain that just as they do the rest
of their landscaping facilities. It would be an easement on the plat stating that this is the
35 foot landscaped area long Overland Road and state responsibility and so forth. So we
are trying to protect that it won't go to' weeds that we won't have a problem. With
commercial facilities typically your maintenance is a lot better than with residential.
Residential things fall through the cracks. Typically commercial you find that the curb
appeal is important to those people.
Hepper: I have got a question, Becky, if any of parcels along Overland Road wouldn't sell
or be built on for a couple of years, for example out along E. 1st Street and Meridian out
here by McDonalds and stuff there are some vacant parcels there that are just now getting
built in after a couple of years. If those weren't built on for a couple of years then that
particular strip of landscaping would not be finished.
Bowcutt: That would be correct and that would be an issue that you obviously would have
to look at.
Hepper: I think that is what we are trying to look at is some way of getting it all done and
then when it is built they can maybe be responsible for their own maintenance. That would
be my own suggestion.
Bowcutt: That is fair, if the Commission deems that more acceptable then obviously.
Hepper: Do you know if you have got occupants for those pieces of property, let them do
it if not the developer is the owner of that property I think that whole thing should be
developed at one time otherwise you are going to have gaps in the development. One lot
will be done, one lot won't and one lot will.
Bowcutt: I can't deny that, chances are that most likely will happen.
Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission
November 14, 1995
Page 23
Hepper: It could take a year or two before all the lots are sold out. Is that more or less
your question too?
Rountree: That is my concern.
Johnson: This document, this paper that Becky submitted for the record this is a draft copy,
I wouldn't expect you to digest all seven pages. of this at a sitting. But this won't actually
go before ACRD until November 29th. I need to point that out for the record that this is a
draft report of what is proposed. Does anyone else have any questions or comments?
What would you like to do?
Rountree: Mr. Chairman I make a motion that we pass this application onto City Council
with a favorable recommendation provided there aren't any major changes in the
recommendations from ACHD and that the landscaping be included as part of the
development of the subdivision.
Shearer: Second
Johnson: We have a motion and a second to pass this on to City Council with the
conditions stated by Commissioner Rountree, all those in favor? Opposed?

SITE SPECIFIC COMMENTS
1. Sanitary Sewer service to this site could be via the existing Ten Mile Creek Trunk line
along the northerly boundary. An access easement, 20 feet in width centered on the main,
needs to be shown across Lot 9, Block 1 for transmission of sewer. Applicant will be
responsible to construct the sewer mains to and through this proposed development. The
proposed engineering plan submitted shows sewer mains stopping short of Overland Road.
These mains need to be extended to Overland Road and across the frontage of the
development. By extending both of these mains, a crossing of the Kennedy Lateral may
be avoided, and the extension of the main between Lots 17-20, 23-26 may be eliminated.
The subdivision designer is to coordinate main sizing and routing with the Meridian Public
Works Department. Sewer manholes are to be provided to keep the sewer lines on the
south and west sides of the roadway centerline.
3. Water service to this site could be via an extension of the existing mains installed in
Overland Road. The extension in Overland will need to be a 12 inch diameter main.
Applicant will be responsible to construct the water mains to and through this proposed
development. The subdivision designer to coordinate the main sizing and routing with the
Meridian Public Works Department. .

including pressurized irrigation, with proposed source, street lights, storm drainage etc. ,
and addressing all other comments contained herein. Resubmit the Preliminary Engineering
Plan with the revisions to the Public Works Dept.
5. Submit a master street grading and drainage plan including method of disposal & approval
from the affected irrigation drainage district.
b. 250 watt high pressure sodium street lights will be required at locations designated by the
Meridian Public Works Department. All street lights shall be installed, at subdivider's
expense. Typical locations are at street intersections and/or fire hydrants.

Overland Road
Minor arterial with no pathway designation shown
Traffic count 5,669 in 1990
1,700-feet of frontage
50 to 65-feet existing right-of--way (25-feet n/o centerline; 25 to 40-feet s/o centerline)
90-feet required right-of--way (45-feet from centerline)
Overland Road is improved with 24-feet of pavement with no curb, gutter or sidewalk and
was overlaid in 1990. Utility street cuts in the new pavement on Overland Road will not be
allowed unless approved by the District Commission or until after the five year moratorium
for cutting pavement.
B. On May 3, 1995, the Commission acted on rezone MRZ-4-95 which includes the western
portion of this site.
C. The site is currently undeveloped.
D. Overland Road currently has only two travel lanes. An irrigation canal borders the south
edge of the project site (i.e. the north edge of Overland Road). The ultimate development of
Overland Road is expected to include five lanes (i.e. two travel lanes for each direction plus
a center turn lane). This roadway section will require 90-feet of right-of--way.
The presence of the canal on the north side of Overland Road will complicate the ultimate
design and right-of--way requirements. Staff recommends that the applicant coordinate the
dedication of additional right-of--way and relocation of the irrigation canal out of the future
right-of--way with the District and the appropriate irrigation district. This may require a new
location and/or easement for the canal, or a relocation of Overland Road. The coordination
and decision regarding this matter should be resolved prior to preparation of a final plat.
VALLEYCE.WPD

• i
E. The "planning capacity" of a two lane roadway (as Overland Road is) is accepted to be
15,000 trips per day. The last count of traffic volume on Overland was 5,669 in 1990,
counted near the east end of this property. It has surely increased in the five years since the
count was taken. This development at build-out is projected to generate 7,800 additional
trips per day, and will bring the estimated volume on Overland Road to 13,469 without any
additional development. The 7, 800 trips per day represents more than 80 percent of the
"available capacity" of the roadway link fronting the property, however the link will still
operate at Level of Service (LOS) `C' or better. Consistent with previous decisions made by
the Commission, staff recommends that the post-development level of service of the Meridian
Road/Overland Road intersection be used to measure the detrimental effects of this project,
rather than the LOS of the roadway link. A Traffic Impact Study (TIS) should be required of
this applicant to examine three specific segments of the transportation system that will be
impacted by this development:
The post-development level of service of the Meridian Road/Overland Road
intersection.
The need for a traffic signal on Overland Road to accommodate development of this
and other future developments at one of the private road intersections of this
development or at Stoddard Road that is immediately west of this project.
The level of traffic turning into/out of this project and the resulting need for left turn
lanes on Overland Road.
Because the nature of the uses to be developed on this property are not known (nor are
forecasts of future use usually accurate), staff did not require the preparation of a Traffic
Impact Study at the time of this submittal. As pointed out in the staff report for the
annexation/zoning application, the TIS should be required at the time that the nature of the
uses is known. That will be set with some degree of accuracy at the time of the first
conditional use permit, since that will set the tone of development for the balance of the
project. All proposed uses in this subdivision will have to be the subject of conditional use
permits, coming back before the District for review, according to the Ciry of Meridian staff.
Therefore, staff recommends that the timing of the TIS be at the time of the first application
of any kind for actual development of this site.
F. Overland Road has a vertical curve east of the project. Sight distance is a major concern in
determining driveway and intersection locations. Staff has reviewed the sight distance at the
proposed easterly private road intersection with Overland Road based upon the profile plan
submitted by the applicant. The planned location of the private road intersection provides
sufficient sight distance. However, no other driveways east of the eastern private road
intersection can be allowed due to sight restrictions.
VALLEYCE.WPD
Page 3
• •
G. In accordance with District policy, staff recommends that the applicant be required to
construct 1,700-feet of 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk on Overland Road abutting the parcel.
H. This site has sufficient frontage to qualify for a maximum of 3 points of access. The
applicant is proposing two private roads and two shared driveways on Overland Road. The
site has been designed with 4-lots that only have frontage on Overland Road, and staff
believes this is a less than optimal design since it abuts a minor arterial street.
The applicant has purchased two abutting parcels and combined them for the proposed
subdivision. Staff and the applicant previously discussed the access requirements to the
individual lots. Staff followed this inquiry with a letter to the owner at that time dated
November 1, 1993, stating that the parcel with 897-feet of frontage could have the two
driveways proposed and the parcel with 800-feet of frontage could have three driveways,
providing the proposed and existing driveways (on the south side of Overland Road) were
separated by 125-feet. This would result in a total of five driveways, whereas the applicant
is proposing four driveways. Therefore, staff recommends that access from Overland Road
be restricted to two private roads and two shared driveways with a frontage road/easement to
provide access to the 6-lots between the private roads. Lot access restrictions should be
stated on the final plat.
I. Until the actual uses and forecast traffic generation rates are known, it is not possible to
ascertain what improvements (if any) are needed to assure that the transportation system will
be adequate to accommodate additional traffic generated by this proposed development.
These factors will be determined by the Traffic Impact Study recommended in "H". above.
This application was scheduled for a public hearing by the City of Meridian Planning and
Zoning Commission on September 5, 1995.
The following recommendations are provided to the City of Meridian as conditions for approval:
Site Specific Requirements:
Prepare and submit a Traffic Impact Study to the District regarding this project prior to the
submittal of any application for building construction or lot development on this project. The
Traffic Impact Study shall address at least the following aspects of the development of this
property:
A The effects of development on the Overland Road/Meridian Road intersection.
B The long term effects of development of this property and the undeveloped or
redevelopable property in this vicinity.

C The volume of turning movements associated with this development.
Coordinate the design of the study with District staff prior to commencing the study.
2. Dedicate 45-feet of right-of--way from the centerline of Overland Road abutting parcel (20-
additional feet). Total right-of--way to be dedicated may vary to take into consideration the
relocation of the Kennedy Lateral. Coordinate dedication of right-of--way with ACHD.
The owner will be compensated for this additional right-of--way from available impact fee
revenues in this benefit zone. If the owner wishes to be paid for the additional right-of--way,
the owner must submit an application to the impact fee administrator prior to breaking
ground, in accordance, with Section 15 of ACRD Ordinance #188.

STORMWATER 11~IANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
We recommend that the first one half inch of stormwater be pretreated through a grassy swale
prior to discharge to the subsurface to prevent impact to groundwater and surface water quality.
The engineers and architects involved with the design of this project should obtain current best
management practices for stormwater disposal and design a stormwater management system that
is preventing groundwater and surface water degradation. Manuals that could be used for
guidance are:
1) STORMWATER MANAGEMENT MANUAL FOR THE PUGET SOUND, State of
Washington Department of Ecology, February 19892

here? It looks like Becky Bowcutt.
Becky Bowcutt, Briggs Engineering, 1111 South Orchard, Boise, was swnrn by the City
Attorney.
Bowcutt: Good evening, this is a preliminary plat on a property located on Overland Road
adjoining I-84 to the north. It is just west of Kuna Meridian Road. The Sandman Motel, the
new Texaco and the JB's Restaurant lies on our east boundary. To our west boundary is
the Mountain View Equipment complex. This. came before this body not too long ago as
an annexation. If you recall a portion of the property was in the city limits currently zoned
C-G and a portion was outside the city limits in Ada County's jurisdiction zoned C2. We
asked for annexation so that we have a consistent zone throughout the whole property.
Mr. Moore intends to develop this property. He had kicked around multiple ideas,
commercial center, officer center. And we basically decided to proceed with the
preliminary plat, it was listed under our conditions of approval of annexation that we v~uld
submit a preliminary plat and the development agreement would be tied to that. We are
proposing exactly 25 buildable commercial lots on approximately 39 acres .The roadway
you see there would be a private drive area. The reason that we chose a private drive, we
had some pre-application meetings with the City, some meetings wath the Highway District
with the Ada County Engineer and we basically wanted some flexibility. We found in these
• •
Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission

Page 17
commercial developments that the developer end up having to go back and make
modifications and that requires vacating a public rights of ways. Therefore, by going with
this private access through here it would facilitate maximum flexibility upon our part as far
as the development is concerned. If this were to develop as a large retail center
hypothetically something like you would find over at the mall area they don't have public
streets running internally through those properties there, private access ways. However
they have to meet certain minimum standards and fire department requirements. We do
have city water, it adjoins our east boundary, it is approximately 13 feet just west of our
east boundary. That is a 10 inch main line, the City Engineer on his comment sheet has
requested that we extend that with a 12 inch and it would be extended to the west
boundary. City sewer is also available to the property, the Ten Mile interceptor is located
right at this point and it runs along the property and then goes in an easterly fashion. We
vuould obviously hook on to the system at this manhole and then bring the sewer services
up through the property. In Mr. Freckleton's comments we have the sewer coming down
the back basically brought it in and brought it down the back of the lots here. His comment
was please submit a revised preliminary showing that you bring the sewer out to Overland
Road and then service these lots here versus along the rear. There are some single family
dwellings and some ag uses just south of us and that would give them the opportunity to
hook up to Central Sewer. This is the Ten Mile Creek, there is a 50 foot easement that is
along that, one of Shari's comments asked that obviously we protect the creek and make
sure that we don't encroach on that easement and come up with some type of landscaping
plan that she can take a look at to make sure that this entry way into the City has some
beautification. Overland Road is also indicated I believe in your comp plan is one of the
entryway into the City. I believe Shari's comments ask fora 35 foot easement for
landscape and along the entryway. The developer's representative here this evening has
asked that basically we have the opportunity to sit down and talk with staff about the 35
feet and get more information on that on exactly what the City would like to see and see
if there vuould be any possibility of reducing that because that is quite large based on our
experience with other jurisdictions. I do not show any sidewalk on this section, we did
increase it to a 60 foot as requested by Shari, we would like to talk with staff on the
sidewalk issue since this is a commercial type development. Typically I believe Ada
County Highway District allows under certain circumstances sidewalk on one side, so we
would tike to talk to the staff to see if there are any alternatives there and what their
position would be. We feel that basically this will enhance the area, it is a property that
sat vacant for many years and this is a prime opportunity to do something nice on this
parcel. It has been a weed patch too long. It will also provide new commercial services to
the Meridian area which is growing rapidly and we feel that it will be beneficial. Do you
happen to have any questions that I can answer or any comments?
Johnson: Any questions of Becky?

Hepper: Yes, Becky the 6 lots there in the middle, would they all have entrances off from
Overland Road?
Bowcutt: No sir, this project has been reviewed by the Highway District or this property on
multiple occasions I did take this down to the Highway District and spoke with them about
access points. Basically due to the frontage that we had and the fact that we had two
parcels Mr. Sale wrote a letter which I can get a copy to you that stated we have a
maximum of 5 approaches. Then when it went through annexation the staff report from
Ada County Highway District indicated that they would obviously evaluate it from
development perspective on in the number of approaches. We will have four, one, two,
three, four. So basically what you would find is you can't see it from the position you are
in, there is a little curb cut here, a little curb cut here. So it would be a shared approach
so there would be a maximum of four approaches. One of the other issues was there is
a little rise in Overland Road here and the Highway District asked that we provide them
with a profile to evaluate the site distance for this. Which I did take down to them the day
before I submitted to the city and I haven't heard back on that. And basically if that requires
that we do a little shifting under their standards for sight distance than obviously we have
to comply if they have to approve and sign this plat. The other issue would be
improvements on Overland Road. This particular development if you recall the Highway
District asked that we trust fund for the sidewalk in this area. But the City asked that we
construct it, we kind of got into a catch 22 situation where two entities wanted two different
things. We found out the same thing on Kuna Meridian Road. We ended up finding a
compromise there. We worked with Ada County Highway District to design this to match
their future design that would come through this intersection from the east of Overland
Road when they improve it. And then to basically satisfy Idaho Department of
Transportation we meandered the sidewalk off of the right of way on private property
because they didn't want it there due to the drainage problems it would create they have
no central storm drainage system. Right now Overland Road through here is just barrow
ditch. So probably worst case scenario would be pavement widening and going through
and creating a tum lane and so forth. I would like to refresh your memory to the fact that
this property can't be developed without a conditional use because it is in that planned
development overlay zone. Shari stated that on her last comment, I talked to Dave
Schplitz of Ada County Highway District and basically he agreed with me to do a traffic
study at this time would be premature where we don't have a specific use. We would be
just guessing what would happen here. Since we can't do anything on here without a
conditional use it was agreed that a traffic study would have to be accomplished prior to
any use. At that time then they would have to evaluate if signals were required and so forth
and look at the loads.
Hepper: So did you say they were going to put sidewalks along Overland or are you going
to trust fund it?
U

Bowcutt: We will have to wait and see how it pans out.
Hepper: You are not sure yet?
Bowcutt: Exactly.
U
Hepper: What about a fence along the entryway there did I see a notation about a block
fence or block wall or something?
Bowcutt: No, that is an existing, there is a wall in there, that is for the Kennedy Lateral.
Kennedy Lateral crosses the road here and then runs along this southwest portion. We will
have to move that out of the public right of way and under the City's requirements it will be
piped. I spoke with Nampa Meridian Irrigation District and they estimate it will take a 36
inch pipe and so we will have to submit a design to them and take it out of the right of way
and then run it to this boundary.
Hepper: So would there be any fencing or berming along Overland Road?
Bowcutt: I think Shari's comment was we would have to submit a landscaping plan for the
City's review showing the landscaping. Her requirements say there will be 35 feet worth
of landscaping adjoining Overland Roads. So as it stands now yes we have to have 35
feet of landscaping.
Hepper: You don't have any proposals for any type of fence then?
Bowcutt: No sir not to my knowledge.
Rountree: With the resolution of the landscaping issue, will that be provided by the
developer or by each individual owner, lot owner?
Bowcutt: Typically when you find along the entrance road that is usually the responsibility
of the developer, but I wouldn't want to make a commitment on his part. When they
develop individually you usually have your minimum standards based on minimum square
footage on how much area of yours has to be landscaped as compared to your asphalt.
So potentially it could be done in a piece meal fashion or some, or you can look at some
type of an umbrella standard for the whole development. The developer could evaluate
that and potentially submit something to the City to make sure that he had a consistent
type of landscaping on all lots that met the city standards. Potentially Jonathan can
answer that question. I think (inaudible) conditional use comes in at that time this body
would have the opportunity to set standards for landscaping.

Johnson: I am sure from the perspective of the City we would encourage a one time
landscape plan there as opposed to individual tenants or owners, piece mealing the entry
way to our City. Any other questions? Anyone else from the public like to address the
Commission on this application?
William Miha, 795 West Overland Road, was sworn by the City Attorney.
Miha: Mr. Chairman, members of the Commission, being a homeowner for two years and
having retired from the United States Coast Guard I live on the comer of Overland and
Stoddard. That would be the last lot there. My concern is for the children that live not only
in my house but up and down that road. I have seven children myself, I know of at least
25 on that block and there are probably closer to 30 on that block. The speed limit
presently on that street starts at 35 miles per hour by the time it gets to my house it is 45.
Since moving in there 2 years ago I have lost two dogs that my children have endeared
to themselves. My concern is for the children, some of mine have already run across the
street just to get a can of pop at the pop machine over at the Intermountain Equipment
place. If that mall goes in my concern is there are going to be children running across that
street constantly. It is a very valid concern I have, I have older children and I have younger
siblings who tend to run after their older brothers and sisters. My second concern is in
regards to possible assessment for myself in regards to city water, city sewer. If I was
forced into a position where I had no option there and I had to take a loan out to meet
those assessment needs. Presently I am going through a retraining program after 20
years in the United States Coast Guard and I am sufficiently in debt (inaudible) sell the first
home I have had in a long time and relocate. But there is a lot of factors that are involved.
My primary concern again is safety of the children that live in that area. All accept my place
I own my place the rest of those places are all rentals. (Inaudible) that is my concern at
the present time.
Johnson: We appreciate your testimony, any questions? Thank you, is there anyone else
that would like to address the Commission? Is there anybody from staff that has a
comment? I have a question of Shari Stiles. Directly to the east what was the requirement
imposed on the commercial development there with respect to the setback, was it 35 and
virould we stick by our 35?
Stiles: You are referring to the Sandman?
Johnson: I try not to but I will since they are listed on the map.
Stiles: I believe they ended with about 20 feet but that property was previously annexed
to the City. The property directly kitty comer from that has a requirement for 35 foot
landscape setback on Meridian Road and Overland Road.
Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission
September 12, 1995
Page 21
Johnson: And around the comer and going north did they stick to the 35 there or was that
also part of the previously annexed and we didn't impose the 35 stringently.
Stiles: That was also previously annexed and developed prior to the 35 foot landscape
setback requirement.
Johnson: I don't know what they did for a setback there which eventually wound up with
I don't recall, 20, 35?
Stiles: I believe it was about 20, a lot of that was already a sanitary sewer easement which
they weren't allow to plant anything in. But we ended up, 1 wouldn't be particularly excited
about what was done there but that is what happened.
Johnson: What lies direct to the south of this project?
Stiles: Residential subdivision, it is pretty much agricultural.
Johnson: I am trying to picture it, I know where it is of course. By the way you need to
leave that presentation you gave us. Where is Stoddard, 1 guess that is what I am looking
for?
Stiles: would you like me to point it out on the zoning map?
Johnson: It is not on this map I don't think, sure I would like you to point it out to me. So
it is just slightly to west of the project right?
(Inaudible)
Johnson: And the property is contiguous to Mountain View's property, that is a question
to Becky, it is. Thank you, any other questions or comments? Anyone else have a closing
comment? Does ACRD have anything they want to offer?
Sale: Mr. Chairman, members of the Commission, I wasn't because Ms. Bowcutt so
eloquently spoke of all the tittle problems that existed and could be resolved with little
adjustments of this map. There may in fact be a significant problem with sight distance
and that with regard to the location of the two street intersections and the driveways and
they may have to change the grade of Overland Road somewhat which may or may not be
a little solution. Beyond that we don't have any serious objections at this time.
Johnson: As I understand it do you haven't actually put this through the Commission yet
is that true?

Sale: Mr. Chairman that is correct this is on the same schedule it will be before or tech
review meeting this Friday morning and go to the Commission next Wednesday.
Johnson: Thank you. Does anyone else have anything? I will close the public hearing at
this time. Any discussion, what would you like to do?
Rountree: I would like to see the plat modified to show your common lot for landscaping
or have notes on the plat that would indicate how landscaping is going to accomplished
and where. And I would like to see it reflect a final approved access points on Overland
before I would make a recommendation to the City.
Johnson: Does anyone else have any comments? Would anyone like to make a motion?
Rountree: I guess in that situation we table it until it is done. Mr. Chairman, I make a
motion that we table action on the preliminary plat for this item until we get resolve of the
issues pointed out this evening here.
Crookston: Do you want to leave the public hearing open or closed or an opportunity to
re-open without further notice.
Rountree: I will further expand that to leave the opportunity to re-open the public hearing
without further notice if deemed necessary by the Commission to the next regularly
scheduled meeting.
Hepper: Second
Johnson: We have a motion and a second to table this item and with the condition that the
public hearing can be reopened if we deem it necessary, all those in favor? Opposed?

Rountree: Moved and seconded, all those in favor? Opposed?
MOTION CARRIED: All Yea
Rountree: Let's go back to item 2 on the agenda, which is the preliminary plat for Packard
Subdivision, we need a motion on that. I don't believe you can take any action until the
annexation and zoning has been completed.
Shearer: We have already deferred that so let's go on to 3.
Rountree: Okay, it is considered deferred until later on this evening as well.
ITEM #3: TABLED OCTOBER 10, 1995: PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR VALLEY CENTER
MARKET PLACE BY W. H. MOORE COMPANY:
Bowcutt: If you recall this item was heard I believe in September. tt was a public hearing
for preliminary plat approval. The Commission asked for 3 different items, one they
wanted us to submit a landscaping plan along Overland Road for this commercial
subdivision which we have submitted landscape plans. Shari and I brought copies for you
to look at this evening. Two, at that particular time Ada County Highway District staff had
not reviewed this project formally reviewed nor had they written a staff report. We have
since received a staff report and then there was one item where we had a difference of
opinion and then we received a letter this week from Mr. Sale addressing the item. One
of you recall one of the issues that Mr. Sale brought up when we had our public hearing
was the issue of the site visibility for this approach right here. After review by the ACRD
traffic engineer it has been determined that approach is acceptable, we don't have any
hazard with visibility. I brought copies of that for you this evening. The letter on top is the
letter from Mr. Sale (inaudible). The one issue that we could not agree on was the number
of approaches, we had a previous commitment from ACRD in writing that we were allowed
up to 5 access points for these parcels on Overland Road. We had submitted a preliminary
plat showing four approaches, two were the private road accesses and two were drive
ways shared by two lots. ACRD came back and said we would only allow two
approaches then they revised their staff report and indicated they would allow only three
and then finally they agreed that they had made previous written commitments to my client
and accepted the four approaches. So I believe,
Rountree: Would you point those out?
• •
Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission
November 14, 1995
Page 19
Bowcutt: One right here, one here and then these two little gray areas are the approaches
which is a shared approach for these two lots right here. This is basically, this was done
by Hillside Nursery, this is the company that my client utilizes for his landscaping. They
show maples and some various burning bushes and junipers, old gold junipers, Autumn
Ashes, kind of scattered throughout there. This is just one half of that area. They wanted
to do it at 20 scales so it takes up a pretty big drawing. l just kind of colored that up to kid
of give you an idea of what that would look like. That second part of that design is this
right here. It is basically the same consistent, the same type of junipers, red twig
dogwoods, burning bushes, Autumn Ashes, etc.
Hepper: Would that be a berm?
Bowcut: Yes, that would be a berm and sodded.
Hepper: What would be the height of the berm?
Bowcut: They didn't indicate on this particular drawing, usually they range from anywhere
from 3 to 5 feet. Typically four commercial type developments you don't want them too high
it is not like residential where you are trying to buffer them from road noise. You want your
visibility for commercial type developments. I kind of colored this one up a little bit to kind
of give you an idea of what this particular site looks like. If you recall this Ten Mile Creek
running parallel here and then it goes across Interstate 84. This is a natural waterway, it
is listed by Water Resources a protected waterway so we can't go in there and make any
modifications to it or disrupt that in way shape or form. The City of Meridian also has a
sewer easement that runs parallel through right through here and then runs across the
interstate. There are existing I believe four existing manholes so we could, I think Shari
in her comments asked that we basically try to improve the looks of the bank on our side
but we would have to be very careful. Here I show just basically a little bit of green
showing a little contouring, maybe a little sod or something more natural like a red
(inaudible) or something like that because we can't put any trees over that sewer line, that
is basically the City's policy. Right through this area here you could put turf and trees and
shrubbery along that section of the Interstate because we don't have any interference with
the sewer line. We also kind of showed some trees and shrubbery along here so you kind
of get a visual view if you were looking from above. One of other issues that was brought
up that you wanted us to consider and come back with some answers is the maintenance
and the question of who would take responsbility of putting in these landscaping facilities
along Overland Road. After meetings with the developers they indicated that they would
be willing to stick in their protective covenants which will govern all of these commercial
lots, maintain the integrity of building styles, materials and landscaping. This particular
landscaping plan would be tied in with those covenants and therefore (inaudible) they
would have to landscape according to the plan and basically but in a timetable that this will
•
Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission
November 14, 1995
Page 20
have to be done within a certain time frame like prior to occupancy and so forth. One of
the problems that we find with commercial lots unlike, just like residential lots you don't go
in and landscape a residen~al lot and then tum around and build the home on the lot. The
fear is if we go in and build this when this is constructed the (inaudible) and so forth so our
preference would be obviously maintain the same type of landscaping throughout the
whole Overland frontage and this could be done by binding the plan through the
covenants. We don't want a hodge podge and. nothing matches and we appreciate you
guys taking the initiative and ask that there be consistency in landscaping along there. As
far as maintenance, maintenance would be basically (inaudible)whoever owns that
particular lot just like mairrtenance of their trees within their parking areas, along the
perimeters of their building. The City has in their ordinance requirements that they have
so many trees and so forth and a combination of open space or grass as compared to their
asphalt. Do you have any questions?
Johnson: Does anyone have any questions? Are you finished?
Bowcutt: Yes, I think Jonathan had a couple of comments that he wanted to address.
Seel: Just one other quick comment if we can. Another requirement that was asked by the
City of Meridian was a 35 foot landscape setback along here. Of course this is I-84. What
we would like to ask is the set back also goes along here and it doesn't really affect us
because you have a sewer easement here. But we would like to ask that the City
reconsider the 35 foot setback along this area. We feel that is a fairly sizable setback and
I think the intent of that is to make that visually pleasing. I think if you can kind of visualize
going down the freeway when this park is fully developed however it might be developed,
you are going to see the buildings, you are going to see a lot of landscaping, you are going
to see a lot of different things within in that, this is not going to be a real visual point. Up
here you have an entrance and you certainly want a visual point there but back here to
give up 35 feet of the land really cuts into those lots. There will be landscaping here but
keep in mind there will be landscaping in these lots along the roads and trees and stuff so
it all will blend in. So what we would like to ask is that in this particular area right here
which would be lot 5, 6 and 8 that we reduce the setback down to say something more
in the neighborhood of 15 or 20 feet which we would landscape. Keeping in mind that the
rest of the park and the rest of the development will also be landscaped and it will be a
blend and you are not going to have quite the focal point here that your intention of 35 feet
setback up here in the entrance way you would have. So we would just ask that you
consider (inaudible).
Johnson: Shari, the setback 35 foot is part of our ordinance?
Stiles: Chairman Johnson and Commissioners, this is not in the ordinance it is expressed
• •
Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission
November 14, 1995
Page 21
in the Comprehensive Plan as an ideal for entrance corridor roads.
Johnson: So it is not necessary for them require a variance then?
Stiles: No
Johnson: Thank you, Charlie you had a question of Shari.
Rountree: Shari or Gary either one, the indication by the applicant was to have the
landscape taken care of by covenants. The City has no control over covenants, what are
your thoughts on that?
Stiles: Commissioner Rountree and Commissioners, that is what is typically done in any
subdivision, residential or commercial that is what is being done at Fred Meyer, it is, I
guess I don't really know what you are getting at.
Rountree: Are the landscape requirements in those developments part of the covenants
for the subdivision or are they part of the development agreement? And the actual
approval of the subdivision plat.
Stiles: They are typically both they are included in the development agreement and have
been on some projects made conditions of the preliminary plat. Usually it is spelled out
as a common lot that is to be owned and maintained by the owners association In this
case I guess it would be just the developer.
Rountree: My understanding of the presentation is that it would be the responsibility of
each lot owner not a common lot to the subdivision.
Stiles: So then it wouldn't necessarily be consistent.
Rountree: The suggestion is that it be consistent by covenants by the subdivision but not
be specified in the development agreement for the subdivision or a condition of issuance
of a building permit say.
Stiles: I believe it should be in place prior to building occupancy if anything. The entire
landscaping should be in place prior to any either the building permits being issued or the
occupancies being issued. And then thereafter could be maintained but I think to be
consistent it should all be done at the same time. I think that is, is that not what.
Rountree: That is not what I heard. Becky might want to clarify that.
•
Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission
November 14, 1995
Page 22
Bowcutt: If I could clarify that, basically what, we want this to be bound by a particular plan
that is on file at the City. So it wouldn't just be some comment in the covenants refereeing
consistency in the landscaping. We are talking about binding the project to a specific plan
that is on file. All the uses within this project fall under the conditional use category
because of the planned development. So at that time you will have those landscaping
requirements imposed. We have landscaping requirements imposed with our development
agreement when we did our annexation of the- western 20 acres. Then we could have
another condition so I think we have covered ourself multiple times. As far as construction
of the landscaping facilities the developers preference would be that it be constructed in
conformance with the plan on file at the City and referenced in the covenants as each lot
develops. And then that area will be maintained by that commercial retail or office or
whatever that particular use would be. They would maintain that just as they do the rest
of their landscaping facilities. It would be an easement on the plat stating that this is the
35 foot landscaped area long Overland Road and state responsibility and so forth. So we
are trying to protect that it won't go to' weeds that we won't have a problem. With
commercial facilities typically your maintenance is a lot better than with residential.
Residential things fall through the cracks. Typically commercial you find that the curb
appeal is important to those people.
Hepper: I have got a question, Becky, if any of parcels along Overland Road wouldn't sell
or be built on for a couple of years, for example out along E. 1st Street and Meridian out
here by McDonalds and stuff there are some vacant parcels there that are just now getting
built in after a couple of years. If those weren't built on for a couple of years then that
particular strip of landscaping would not be finished.
Bowcutt: That would be correct and that would be an issue that you obviously would have
to look at.
Hepper: I think that is what we are trying to look at is some way of getting it all done and
then when it is built they can maybe be responsible for their own maintenance. That would
be my own suggestion.
Bowcutt: That is fair, if the Commission deems that more acceptable then obviously.
Hepper: Do you know if you have gat occupants for those pieces of property, let them do
it if not the developer is the owner of that property I think that whole thing should be
developed at one time otherwise you are going to have gaps in the development. One lot
will be done, one lot won't and one lot will.
Bowcutt: I can't deny that, chances are that most likely will happen.

Hepper: It could take a year or two before all the lots are sold out. Is that-more or less
your question too?
Rountree: That is my concern.
Johnson: This document, this paper that Becky submitted for the record this is a draft copy,
I wouldn't expect you to digest all seven pages of this at a sitting. But this won't actually
go before ACRD until November 29th. I need to point that out for the record that this is a
draft report of what is proposed. Does anyone else have any questions or comments?
What would you like to do?
Rountree: Mr. Chairman I make a motion that we pass this application onto City Council
with a favorable recommendation provided there aren't any major changes in the
recommendations from ACHD and that the landscaping be included as part of the
development of the subdivision.

conditions stated by Commissioner Rountree, all those in favor? Opposed?
