your cause to anger,alienate or antagonize the decision makers who are listening to your presentation.
2. Show your strength...Many neighborhood groups have organized their testimony by having one or a few people speak on behalf of the group.The
leader will ask those in the audience supporting the testimony to stand.This conveys to the decision makers the seriousness with which the issue is
viewed by the attending parties.
3. Speak to the point...Public officials have heard hundreds of people give testimony. They are grateful when the testimony is pertinent,well
organized, and directly regards the matter at hand. Long stories, lectures or philosophy, abstract complaints about generalities, or redundant

given as much attention as oral testimony.

Testimony:

the staff report.
2) Mr. Wagoner stated that this is a request for the expansion and operation of an
existing mini storage facility within the M-1 light industrial zone for the Republic
Storage facility located at 3203 East Linden Street. Staff finds it is in compliance with
the comprehensive plan and is an appropriate use for that area.
3) Mr. Wagoner stated that in regards to Condition 8.4—they are requesting that this
be stricken. After speaking with the City Engineer it has been decided that this is
not a necessary condition.
4) Cornell Larson, 210 Murray Street, Boise, Idaho here representing the applicant, Dick
Phillips. They are in agreement with Conditions 8.2 through 8.9 with the exception
of 8.4 (staff recommends striking this) and they would like to clarify Condition 8.5 to
make sure they understand the paving. They intend to pave around all the new
buildings that they are constructing. They typically leave the outdoor RV storage
graveled and as they expand and add new buildings they pave that area. They are
requesting that the outdoor storage area remain graveled. Commissioner Doty
recommended marking photos as Exhibit PZ 1000 and PZ 1001. Photos show where
weeds were removed and where the RV storage is located.
5) Commissioner Vance asked Mr. Larson to confirm if they are currently planning on
building just a few additional buildings or the whole project. Mr. Larson confirmed
they have 4 enclosed buildings and 1 covered building and the covered building
would be a covered RV storage. They would pave around those buildings and tie it
into the existing paved areas.
6) Commissioner Doty confirmed the area that will remain gravel.
7) Commissioner Doty asked Mr. Wagoner if there was anything in the code on existing
graveled areas. Mr. Wagoner said they could add that language to the 8.5

ORDER OF DECISION FOR SUP-16-15 (Special Use Permit) MOTION: Commissioner
Vance that Case Number SUP-16-15 be approved with the following conditions: 8.2
through 8.9 with the exception of removing the 8.4 condition and modifying the 8.5
condition to be amended to say that the RV storage shall be gravel and unpaved and

APPROVED by unanimous roll call vote.
B. Case Number SUP-16-14 A request by Edward Savala for a special-use permit to operate
a vehicle sales lot within the C-C (City Center) Zoning District. The subject property is
located at 301 E. Cleveland Boulevard in Caldwell, Idaho
Testimony:
1) Jarom Wagoner, 621 Cleveland Blvd., Caldwell, ID 83605, Senior Planner, presented
the staff report.
2) Mr. Wagoner testified that this is Special Use Permit to operate a vehicle sales lot
within the C-C (City Center) zoning district.
3) Commissioner Page asked about compliance with the Comprehensive Plan analysis
within the city center, how does this particular type of development go along with
what is currently being encouraged in that area?
4) Mr. Wagoner indicated there are a wide variety of types of businesses within the
area. The downtown core which would be considered 7th Avenue, Kimball and Main,
where the new plaza is going in, and a variety of different retail. We are trying to
focus on more retail business in the downtown core. This property is fairly outside
of that area, more near the edges of the City Center district are and very close to
Simplot Blvd.
5) Dr. Savala, 301 Cleveland Blvd., Caldwell, Idaho testified that he has a medical
practice on 3rd and Cleveland Blvd. He has given advice to many patients on
purchasing a vehicle. It was finally brought to his attention that maybe he should
sell cars there. His intent is to help his patients find a reliable car at a decent price.
This is different because it is secondary to his main business. He doesn't have to sell
cars to make a living. He feels this will be a positive opportunity for the community.
Especially those who have to rely on buying used vehicles. Regarding landscaping he
would like to use the gravel that he was told would meet the requirement when he
first moved in. He put gravel on both 3rd and Cleveland Blvd. The trees, shrubs and
grass he agrees with. He believes it only adds value to his property. He would like to
put in trees and shrubs and keep the gravel.
PZ Minutes 10-11-2016
6) Mr. Wagoner indicated that city code does require grass and trees in the area Dr.
Savala is talking about. The Commissioners do have the authority to go either more
or less restrictive than code if they feel it is appropriate. We have been consistently
requiring grass and trees and he understands Dr. Savala's concern, where he did
place gravel in those areas.
7) Dr. Savala doesn't have a problem with the requirement, but he would like to avoid
the added cost of removing all the gravel. The trees and shrubs are fine, that's a
positive improvement.
8) Mr. Wagoner would like to see grass and trees on the Cleveland Boulevard side of
the property as required by the code. He is willing to work with Dr. Savala and would
recommend that he keep the gravel along 3rd Avenue where the majority of the
gravel is located. With the committee's approval Mr. Wagoner would agree to leave
Condition 8.4 the same but Condition 8.5 would be amended to strike the vegetative
ground cover requirement as well as the statement dry landscaping shall not be
allowed.
9) Commissioner Vance asked where the repairs would be performed.
10) Dr. Savala said that no major repairs would be done on site. He has spoken to a
mechanic that has his own shop and he would recommend customers go there.
11) Paul Hubbs, 600 East Ash, Caldwell, Idaho is in favor of this proposal.
MOTION TO CLOSE TESTIMONY: Commissioner Vance. SECOND: Commissioner Page.

to operate a vehicle sales lot within the C-C (City Center) Zoning District. The subject
property is located at 301 E. Cleveland Boulevard in Caldwell, Idaho is approved with the

C. Case Number OA-16-05: A request by City of Caldwell to consider an amendment to the
Caldwell Comprehensive Plan involving an update to the City's 10-year Capital
Improvement Plans for Park, Fire, and Police Impact Fees, pursuant to Idaho Code § 67-
8208.
1) Brent Orton, Public Works Director, 621 Cleveland Blvd., Caldwell, Idaho testified that
we have been through the first ten years of having Impact Fees for Fire, Police, and
Parks in Caldwell. State Statute requires that every 10 years a new Capital Improvement
Plan should be put together. He enters Exhibits 1, 2 and 3 as adoption into the
Comprehensive Plan the new Capital Improvement Programs for the next 10 years. We
just completed one 10 year block and we're asking you to recommend adoption into the
Comprehensive Plan of the next 10 year block. Mr. Orton went on to explain how they
arrive at the costs and how they determine what portion is ok to use impact fees from
and what portion needs to come from property taxes or other general fund sources.
2) Commissioner Vance asked Mr. Orton to verify that adoption of this plan doesn't affect
impact fees, and that it's just a plan. Mr. Orton verified that is true, the Commission is
recommending adoption of the Capital Improvement Plan. He added that the fees
themselves can be modified every year but there are requirements on how those fees
are justified. The sequence of events would be the Commission recommending the
adoption of the Plan and then the City Council would then consider this amendment to
the Comprehensive Plan. Considering an approval at City Council they would then
consider the updated fees.
3) Commissioner Doty asked if City Council is the group authorized to develop those fees.
4) Mr. Orton confirmed that is true. There is an Impact Advisory group that meets and
develops the fees and then the City Council approves them.
MOTION TO CLOSE TESTIMONY: Commissioner Vance. SECOND: Commissioner Page. Passed:
Unanimous roll call vote.
The Commission gave their recommendation in support.

by Dr. Savala.
2.3 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION: The Caldwell Comprehensive Plan Map designation for the site
is City Center.
City Center: Suitable for a wide range of residential and commercial land uses, including vertical and
horizontal mixed uses, attached single-family and multi-family housing, community and neighborhood
retail, professional offices, services, hotel-motel, entertainment, cultural, and civic uses. The primary

goal of this classification is to create a mixed use pedestrian area. Highly automobile-dependent uses
and surface parking lots are generally discouraged in the core area of this classification.
2.4 Land Use: The subject property is zoned C-C(City Center) and is surrounded by the following uses:
Direction Zone Comprehensive Map Use

streets staff is rcommending that the applicant be required to install grass, trees, and shrubs within
this existing area. The applicant should be required to install grass, 3 trees and 14 shrubs along
Cleveland Boulevard abutting the site, and 4 trees and 18 shrubs along 3rd Avenue abutting the site.
