Presentations were made by the Finance Director, Human Resource Director, Public Works Director, and the Chief of Police. No decisions were made. He asked those in attendance to stand for the invocation lead by Reverend Geoff Williams of Montana Avenue Baptist Church and remain standing for the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. The Roll of the City Council was called by the City Clerk with the following members present: Blacker, Ozuna Hopper, Callsen, Pollard, and Biggers. CONFLICT OF INTEREST DECLARATION None. SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS A. Employee of the Month The Mayor stated that the employee of the month presentation has been delayed until the next City Council Meeting to be held on August 4, 2014. B. Green Belt Extension Project Presentation Bill Gigray III, 1523 Dearborn Street, reported that he serves as the President of the Caldwell Civic Greenbelt, Inc. which began in 1984. He provided the background history of how the greenbelt area BOOK 55 PAGE 113 along Centennial Boulevard was developed and provided a copy of the original brochure outlining the master plan for the Oregon Trail Centennial Greenway project. He noted that the eventual goal of the master plan was to link Whittenberger Park with Curtis Park. He noted that the Caldwell Civic Greenbelt, Inc. strongly supports the City of Caldwell in their effort in acquiring the land within the canyon area which is consistent with the master plan. Chuck Randolph, 1424 Blaine Street, outlined the need for the development of the Canyon Hill subject property in order to attract tourists in viewing a portion of the Oregon Trail. Curtis Park has been owned by the City of Caldwell since 1910. The proposed pathway through the Canyon Hill area would make Curtis Park accessible by way of a pedestrian path from Plymouth Road. He noted that Curtis and McKenzie family cabins were both relocated from the Curtis Park area to the VanSlyke Museum at Memorial Park many years ago. The Curtis parcel was offered to the City in the early 1900’s for $1,000 with the stipulation that it would be in perpetuity held as a Caldwell public park and be served by the Interurban Railroad for a $.05 fare. (The Interurban Railroad dissolved in 1928.) At this point the only access point to Curtis Park is off of River Road and Channel. The development of a walking path from Plymouth Road would serve as a pedestrian friendly access point. He reported that the Kiwanis Club has been actively involved with Curtis Park and some of the improvements since 1921 to emphasize the Oregon Trail history aspect of the site. Brent Orton, 621 Cleveland Blvd., presented information concerning the future plans of the Engineering Department in development of the subject properties within the Canyon Hill area. Planning & Zoning staff will be formulating a citizen committee to provide input on the development of a wilderness park and trail. He noted that the residence located at 815 Plymouth Street is currently owned by the City of Caldwell and leased on a month-by-month basis to Todd and Betty Knie, the second parcel was acquired last year from the City of Caldwell and is undergoing destruction of the buildings on the site, and the owner of the third parcel has spoken with the Finance Director concerning their desire to possibly sell the parcel. Discussion followed concerning the design process of the Plymouth Bridge replacement project in partnership with the Canyon County Highway District. The proposed completion of the new bridge design is targeted for 2015. The Mayor recognized the two daughters of Mr. & Mrs. Knie who were in attendance and thanked those involved in bringing forth the presentation.

MOTION CARRIED OLD BUSINESS (CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING [QUASI-JUDICIAL]: CASE NUMBER SUB-02[P]-14 A REQUEST BY HOWELL-MURDOCH DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION FOR PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL OF SIENNA HILLS SUBDIVISION, PHASES 3-11, CONSISTING OF 75.6 ACRES TO BE SUBDIVIDED INTO 218 RESIDENTIAL LOTS AND 16 COMMON LOTS IN AN R-1 LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL ZONE. THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF INDIANA AVENUE AND ORCHARD AVENUE IN CALDWELL, IDAHO) The Mayor reported that the hearing had been continued to allow a report back from City staff in regards to the neighboring parcels which have not been receiving water. The Mayor declared the public hearing continued and open. Brent Orton, 621 Cleveland Blvd., acknowledged being previously sworn in. He reported that the developer has outlined a plan which the Boise Project Board of Control which has been deemed as acceptable. The plan consists of re-aligning the pipe that comes out of the irrigation box and extending it further to the east (closer to the properties in question) and then providing for easements where the residents would be able to access a gravity-form water delivery. Jarom Wagoner, 621 Cleveland Blvd., acknowledged being previously sworn in. He reported that a deadline of July 11th was given to those in favor and those in opposition to the request for information to be provided to City staff for dissemination. The two packets were referenced which the Mayor labeled as CC-1003 (information provided by those neighbors in opposition to the request) and CC -1004 (information provided by the applicant’s representative – Mason & Stanfield – in favor of the request). Mr. Wagoner reported that the documents were delivered to the interested parties by Planning & Zoning staff. In response to questions from the Mayor, Mr. Hilty recommended that the Mayor move forward with addressing those who have signed up to testify addressing the submitted documentation in favor of or in opposition to the request. Darin Holzhey, of Mason and Stanfield at 826 3rd Street South, Nampa, acknowledged being previously sworn in the reported that a meeting was conducted with the Boise Project Board of Control and the irrigation line plan was approved. In response to questions from the Mayor, Brent Orton reported that he has reviewed the proposal from Mason and Stanfield as referenced by Mr. Holzhey. The proposal meets the requirements of Idaho State Law. Lucy Wills, 15287 South Florida, acknowledged being previously sworn in and expressed concern about the easement being located in the backyard of homes within Sienna Hill s Subdivision and any future repairs of the line would be the responsibility of the property owners, including if landscaping or fencing are built within the easement area. The Boise Project Board of Control reported to her that they did not agree to have any fencing or landscaping within the easement area since easements are to be free to any encumbrances. An attorney was consulted and been advised that the delivery of the water should be provided to the residents without additional expenses. The plan now stands that the water box would be placed on the furthest southwest corner of the acreage which creates a problem of how it would be distributed to the remaining part of the property. In response to questions from Councilman Hopper, Ms. Wills stated that the original ditch wa s located at the back of their acreage located on the property line. It was filled in by the previous landowner and the last time irrigation water was provided to her property was in 2006. In response to questions from Councilman Biggers, Ms. Wills stated that the current owner would not allow the neighboring property owners to dig a ditch on their property. Since 2006 they have been watering with a hose from their well. Mark Hilty, 1201 North 13th Avenue, commented on the referenced ditch and the requirement of water rights noting that the developer’s plan meets the requirements as outlined within the Idaho State Law and Caldwell City Code. If parties cannot work out the water right issues with the developer and irrigation district, then the residents could look to the civil courts for resolve. Benny White, 15270 South Florida Avenue, acknowledged being previously sworn in and expressed his concern about the proposed obstructions within the easements and substandard offers being made for providing water to the neighbors. He expressed that engineering issues should be the responsibility of the applicant and not the local residents. In response to questions from Councilman Biggers, Mr. White recommended that an eight by ten-foot easement be provided to assist with potential maintenance issues in the future. He noted that he currently is using his well water to irrigate his land. BOOK 55 PAGE 115 In rebuttal, Mr. Holzhey reiterated that the developer has met with the residents and the Boise Project Board of Control. An irrigation line plan has been approved by the Boise Project Board of Control. Councilman Callsen recommended that the developer consider going the extra mile and relocating the irrigation box approximately 50 feet further into the property to accommodate the neighbors. MOVED by Blacker, SECONDED by Ozuna to close the public testimony portion of the hearing. MOTION CARRIED EVIDENCE LIST FOR CASE NO. SUB-02(P)-14: The Mayor presented the Evidence List: staff report, sign-up sheets, original plat, the existing plat, CC- 1000 (an aerial map of the site presented by Planning & Zoning staff), CC-1001 (packet of information provided by Gary Lee and Scott Stanfield), CC-1002 (packet of pictures and summary presented by City staff); CC-1003 (packet from Wills & White in opposition to the application), and CC -1004 (packet from Mason and Stanfield in favor of the application). MOVED by Hopper, SECONDED by Blacker to accept the Evidence List as presented. MOTION CARRIED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANALYSIS FOR CASE NO. SUB-02(P)-14: MOVED by Hopper, SECONDED by Blacker to accept the Comprehensive Plan Analysis as presented in the staff report under roman number V. MOTION CARRIED FINDINGS OF FACT ON CASE NO. SUB-02(P)-14: MOVED by Hopper, SECONDED by Biggers to accept the general facts as outlined in the staff report, the public testimony that was given in this matter, the evidence list that was approved, and note that there has not significant discussion about whether this project should or should not move forward; rather, the discussion has been based on the delivery of water for irrigation purposes to the affected surrounding properties. A solution has been provided by the developer and the quality of that solution (as long as it meets City Engineering Standards) is the standard that Council should follow. MOTION CARRIED CONCLUSIONS OF LAW ON CASE NO. SUB-02(P)-14: MOVED by Ozuna, SECONDED by Blacker that the Caldwell City Council has the authority to hear this case and to make the decision to approve or deny; and the public hearing was noticed and heard within the guidelines of applicable state codes and local ordinances. MOTION CARRIED ORDER OF DECISION ON CASE NO. SUB-02(P)-14: Councilman Hopper provided comments concerning the distribution of the irrigation water to the surrounding property owners. He stated that the requirement is to make sure that water is delivered to properties in a reasonable manner and with reasonable accommodations. The developer has agreed to install water for the property owners which would preserve the elevation of the water at each property. The distribution of the water, once it is provided at the delivery point, is the responsibility of the property owner. This is possibly not the ideal solution, but it is typical. Councilman Callsen commented that the previous developer caused division with the irrigation issue . He suggested that the current developer provide extra factors to assist with the neighbor’s concerns. MOVED by Pollard, SECONDED by Biggers based on the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, the Caldwell City Council hereby orders that Case No. SUB -02(P)-14 a request by Howell-Murdoch Development Corporation for preliminary plat approval of Sienna Hills Subdivision, consisting of 75.6 acres to be subdivided into 218 residential lots and 16 common lots in an R -1 Low Density Residential zone located at the northeast corner of Indiana Avenue and Orchard Avenue in Caldwell, Idaho be approved with the conditions as outlined within the staff report.

MOTION CARRIED NEW BUSINESS (PUBLIC HEARING [QUASI-JUDICIAL]: CASE NUMBER SUB-03[P]-14 & ZON-02-14 A REQUEST BY COREY BARTON HOMES, INC. FOR PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL OF APPLE CREEK SUBDIVISION CONSISTING OF 14.5 ACRES TO BE SUBDIVIDED INTO 69 RESIDENTIAL LOTS AND 3 COMMON LOTS, A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MAP CHANGE FROM LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL TO MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL, A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, AND A REZONE OF APPROXIMATELY 14.5 ACRES, MORE BOOK 55 PAGE 116 OR LESS, FROM R-1 LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL TO R-2 MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL, LOCATED AT THE CORNER OF IDA RED AVENUE AND LASTER STREET) The Mayor explained the public hearing quasi-judicial process and declared the public hearing open. He asked the City Clerk to swear in those providing public testimony. Jarom Wagoner, Senior Planner at 621 Cleveland Blvd acknowledged being sworn in and outlined the facts as written within the staff report. He provided an aerial map of the subject property, which the Mayor labeled as CC-1000. The property was originally approved for an annexation in 2003 into the City of Caldwell. The request to rezone to R-2 was precipitated by a change in lot size requirement in 2008. Previously, lots in the R-1 district were required to be at least 6,000 square feet. The ordinance change now requires lot sizes to be 8,000 square feet in the R -1 district. The R-2 district currently has a minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet. The R-2 district allows the developer to complete the subdivision to the density level that was originally approved when the site was annexed into the City of Caldwell. The plan is to complete the development as originally planned with no additional lots. Irrigation, sewer, and water lines have already been installed. Mr. Wagoner reported that staff recommends approval of the request noting that a development agreement has been drafted to address the concerns from the neighbors regarding multi-family units being constructed within the area. Mr. Wagoner explained that the applicant would be restricted to construct single -family housing unless a special use permit is approved to construct duplexes. Scott Noriyuki, Northside Management, 6810 Fairhill Place, Boise, acknowledged being sworn in and spoke in favor of the project. Since the infrastructure has already been installed, the project is approximately 85 percent completed but the sewer, irrigation, and water lines will be tested to insure safety and integrity. There are some minor repairs to some of the sidewalks and the bulk of the pedestrian ramps will be replaced since they are not ADA compliant. The previously platted lots do have constructed homes on them. He reported that the developer is in agreement with the staff report. Council Member Ozuna complimented Mr. Noriyuki on improvements made at Azure Place in which Mr. Noriyuki was responsible for abating weeds from the site.
