• Goa12 of the City's ten community planning goals is "To ensure that growth
and development occur in an orderly fashion in accordance with adopted policies and
procedures governing the use of land, residential development, the provision of
services and the distribution of new housing units within the USPA" (pg. 5,
Forewazd).
• Goal 9 of the City's ten community planning goals is "To encourage a balance
of land use patterns to insure that revenues pay for services" (pg. 5, Forewazd).
• "Although it is recognized that urbanized development does exist within the
rural areas of the Area of City Impact, the rural lands should be kept in agricultural
production as long as possible until urban services (municipal sewer and water
facilities and other essential services) can be provided" (Policy 6.3, pg. 29, Land Use
Chapter).
• "Within the USPA one single-family residential house may be placed on a 5-
or 10- acre tract provided dry line sewer and water lines are installed and constructed.
.." (Policy 6.3.b., pg. 29, Land Use Chapter).
• "Residential development is allowed in the rural areas provided that said
development does not exceed the Rural Residential Agricultural density, unless it is
inside the USPA and City sewer and water is provided, when Low, Medium and High
density residential may be considered. All residential development must also comply
with the other appropriate sections of this plan" (Policy 6.4, pg. 30, Land Use
Chapter).
• "Residential developments shall be phased in accordance with their
connection to the municipal sewer system" (Policy 1.7, pg. 67, Housing Chapter).
The City of Meridian does plan for urban services to be provided for this area within the
next seven years, as was indicated during our negotiations with the Ada County
Commissioners regarding the Urban Service Planning Area in 1997. We thank you for
the opportunity to comment on this application. If you have any questions, please do not
hesitate to contact us.

Tuesday night and outlined the information you had provided to me ~~ ~ telephone concerning your

many other parcels of land on the bor>jer of our Area of Impact that will then approach the
City for the same consideration. They are not willing to deal with this. There were also questions about
uni and police protection and water supply. The Council is concerned with providing city services to
noorporated anus of Ada County thereby inhibiting future annexations.
The Counal did not make a formal motion, however, all were in a9reerrient that they would not approve

Ada County Application 00-11-S/00-17-ZC:
Request to Ada County Development Services for proposed
Bristol Heights Subdivision No. 21 to include 34 single-family
residential lots and approximately 17 acres of open space to
include parks and paths as well as a zone change from RUT
to R-4 of 9.25 acres located at 2375 E. Chinden Boulevard in
Meridian -Section 29, T4N, R1 E:
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, I would like us to either set some time aside for
the special meeting next week or continue this to October 3, 2000. We've got a
lot of issues. Just to give you a brief rundown, this is the ten acres at the very
edge of our impact area that Ramon Jorgenson has that he's proposing to
develop now. The applications do state that they want our comments by the 20tH
but their staff has told us that we can comment clear up to the time of their public
hearing and they will accept those comments due to -
De Weerd: When is the public hearing?
Stiles: It doesn't have to be a public hearing. It isn't a public hearing.
De Weerd: Oh.
Stiles: Due to recent Supreme Court decisions about Ada County Subdivisions, I
think we need to kind of strategize on this and make sure we come up with the
proper response. They are proposing Meridian sewer and water out here. This
down here would be Vienna Woods and they're proposing clear up here that they
would propose to sewer and water -City of Meridian. We have a lot of questions
about it. Also it's kind of misleading what they show. They're showing less than
a 10-acre development with 17 acres of open space, but the open space is all in
Boise. They are having .23 acre of open space that would be along Chinden.
The entire rest of it would be developed as single-family homes. The next one is
for a place on Franklin Road. They're proposing a rezone to M-1. I haven't
researched exactly what an M-1 will allow. This is designated as industrial -light
industrial in our Comprehensive Plan, but they are proposing an office use. I
don't think that's an appropriate zone for an office use. Also, with our change of
adult establishments.to be limited only to light industrial areas -
De Weerd: That's supposed to be a church.
Stiles: This? No. That was next door - a couple doors down. That was another
weird one.
Bird: That was the Bronco Club, wasn't it?
Stiles: So I kind of hate to see it go to M1 and then they establish that they've
got alight-industrial zone and can be annexed in an attempt to get approval for a
bar there or something, but - or a topless dancing -whatever. Whichever you'd
--.

like, to put it the 26tH or October 3rd will be okay either way time-wise. I just don't
want to rush through it.
De Weerd: Okay. Well, do we need a motion to put these on -Let's do them on
the 26tH
Stiles: So we'd start the meeting at 6:00?
Bird: We're starting at 6:30, aren't we, Mayor?
Corrie: 6:30, yes. Do you want to try for 5:30 so that we get out of here before
2:00 a.m.?
Bird: We're just going to have her and that deal and then some workshops.
Corrie: Okay. 6:30 sounds good.
Berg: What kind of deal are we going to have?
Corrie: Okay. We'll add this to the 26tH meeting and I think you've got the
agenda on the 26tH, don't you, or do you not? You tell him what you're going to
have on the 26tH as well.
Bird: Okay. I'll let him know.
Kuntz: Mayor. Excuse me. If we have something we need on the 26tH, should
we see Council member Bird?
Corrie: Yes. Let's just have a regular meeting -
McCandless: Are we going to have a meeting and a workshop?
Bird: We've got to have a meeting.
McCandless: For what? I'd like to know.
Corrie: Keith, what's the meeting going to be on? It's 2:00.
Bird: The 22nd, this Friday, we're going to get the presentation to my AC, and we
have got to implement it the 26tH before October 1St
McCandless: Okay. We aren't going to do this anymore. This is ridiculous.
Bird: ft is, Cherie. Next Tuesday Bill's got some plans for us so we don't have to
stay here, right, Bill?
