MOTION CARRIED OLD BUSINESS (PROTEST HEARING FOR THE FORMATION OF LOCAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT [LID] 07 -3 FOR CONSTRUCTION OF ASPHALT PAVING ALONG LABREA STREET BETWEEN N. INDIANA AVENUE AND N. MICHIGAN AVENUE) BOOK 48 PAGE 178 Gordon Law, 621 Cleveland Blvd., presented the staff report. He noted that the request is in regards to paving a short street block, which is currently unpaved. The LID would include the residents on LeBrea and Michigan Streets who benefit from the usage of this portion of the street for access onto Indiana. The proposed estimate for the work amounts to $37,000. In response to questions from Councilman Oates, Mr. Law noted that the amount does not include curb and gutter except for a portion, which an individual property owner would fund separately through the concrete LID program. In response to questions from Councilman Hopper, Mr. Law indicated that the stormwater drainage would utilize the barrow ditches on each side and existing curb and gutter along North Michigan to drain the property. Councilman Dakan asked if there was a policy concerning the requirement of curb and gutter with new street construction. Mr. Law indicated that paving LIDS do not require curb and gutter; however, most residents voluntarily include curb and gutter through a separate LID. Georgia McMillian, 3091 N. Michigan Avenue., stated that she is in favor of the request MOVED by Callsen, SECONDED by Hopper to close the public hearing. Roll call vote. Those voting yes: Callsen, Wells, Oates, and Hopper.

OA- 88 -07, A REQUEST BY BRIAN BILLINGSLEY, PLANNING AND ZONING DIRECTOR, FOR AN ORDINANCE AMENDMENT CREATING A NEW ZONING CLASSIFICATION CALLED THE COLLEGE DISTRICT [C -D] AND AMENDING THE CALDWELL ZONING MAP TO IDENTIFY THE LOCATION OF THIS NEW ZONE) The Council President declared the public hearing continued and open and had the clerk swear in those who were signed to speak at any of the public hearings tonight. Brian Billingsley, 621 Cleveland Blvd., presented the staff report, an aerial map of the site, and outlined the facts as written. The Council President labeled the map as CC -1000. Mr. Billingsley noted that the request is divided into five sections. The first section creates the purpose of the district; the second creates the permitted and special uses within the zoning district; the third establishes building height, setbacks, and minimum lot sizes; the fourth creates sign regulations, which are consistent with the sign regulations in most commercial zoning districts in Caldwell; and the fifth provides that the non - conforming residential uses have the ability to rebuild, remodel, enlarge or expand their structures. Mr. Billingsley continued by stating that the second part of the request involves amending the Caldwell Zoning Map to add the College District. The legal description of the site is located within the ordinance. He noted that 31 property owners, not associated with the College, would be affected by the rezone. Thirteen people attended the neighborhood meeting concerning this issue. One request was made to amend the text allowing grandfathered residences, either vacant or occupied, to be eligible for expansion or rebuild. Staff did not object to this request. Another concern expressed was that the proposed ordinance allowed service stations within the overlay district He noted that the ordinance was amended to allow service /gas stations only by special use permit approval. In response to questions from the Council President, Mr. Billingsley explained that the overlay district would allow property owners to apply for building permits for their existing residences. The current R -2 or R -3 zoning requires the college to obtain a special use permit for most land -use development issues. The overlay district would ease the burden for this requirement. In response to questions from Councilman Wells, Mr. Billingsley clarified that a homeowner would not be loosing any land -use privileges, but this overlay basically assists the college in expansion purposes. Andrew Erstad, 420 Main Street, Suite 202, Boise stated that he was in favor of the request. Derrick Morris, representative from the College of Idaho, 4747 Chelmsford Avenue, Boise stated that he was in favor of the request. MOVED by Dakan, SECONDED by Oates to close the public hearing.

BOOK 48 PAGE 181 Those voting yes: unanimous. Brian Billingsley, 621 Cleveland Blvd., presented the staff report and outlined the facts as written. In response to the request from the Council President, Mr. Billingsley outlined the changes that were made to the text Councilman Oates addressed the eight -foot maximum height limitation of landscape berms. Councilman Hopper expressed concern with the Pathway requirements as outlined on page 20 of the proposed ordinance. He suggested that Paragraph D should read: "Shall EITHER be placed along the exe side of any irrigation canal . . ." He stated that the current wording implies that the developer would be required to provide a pathway on only one side of the canal or ditch. Councilman Hopper also noted that Paragraph E reads ". . . The major pathway requirement may be waived in a commercial subdivision and /or subdivision if there is clear evidence that pedestrian connectivity has been provided via sidewalks." He expressed his concern that a three -foot sidewalk should not be considered a replacement for an eight -foot pathway. Discussion followed concerning how this issue should be clarified within the ordinance. Councilman Hopper continued by noting that paragraph E also states, "The major pathway requirement may be waived if there is clear evidence of no present or future adjacent connectivity in the form of either a pathway or a sidewalk." He stated that a number of developers have come to Council and claimed there is no need for a pathway because there is no connection point, yet they are surrounded by undeveloped properties. This phrase would seem to imply that if you are surrounded by undeveloped property, but your pathway does not have a connection point, the developer would be exempt from providing the pathway. He suggested that it read: "The major pathway requirement maybe waived if there is eleff °- id enee ,.a..,...rese... or a..... no possibility of adjacent connectivity in the form of either a pathway or a sidewalk." Councilman Wells expressed his concern with the elimination of a phased -in transitional use provision within the proposed ordinance. Mr. Billingsley suggested that the Temporary Use Ordinance be modified to include this provision. Councilman Wells suggested that the definition for Barbeque also be modified within the Temporary Use Ordinance. Councilman Hopper reported that the previous landscape ordinance addressed design review over 150 -feet on either side of center line of Indian Creek and the Boise River. He asked if this provision was included within the revised ordinance. Mr. Billingsley reported that the provision is now included only within the City Center Ordinance. Councilman Hopper expressed his concern that if the provision is only within the City Center Ordinance, there is no provision along Indian Creek outside of the city center boundaries. Mr. Billingsley stated that he would research this issue and report back to the Council with his findings. Dwight Rice, 9490 Highway 20/26, signed in support of the request but was not present to speak. MOVED by Wells, SECONDED by Callsen to continue the hearing to the next Regular City Council Meeting to be held on November 5, 2007 with the provision that the items of concern addressed by the Council be researched by staff and further discussed at that time.
