Thank
you,
madam
mayor
members
of
council.
As
you'll
recall,
back
on
september
21st,
you
approved
the
request
for
a
special
exception,
to
operate
a
nail
salon
on
a
property
located
at
11885
west
overland
road
in
a
single-family
residential
zone.
At
that
time,
you
did
direct
us
to
return
with
findings
and
conditions
of
approval,
that
included
limiting
the
facility
to
employees
that
reside
on
the
property
and
then
just
two
stations
so
included
in
your
packet
was
the
reason,
statement
and
conditions
reflecting
that
decision,
and
so
we
are
asking
that
you
adopt
those
this
evening.
F
G
A
Thank
you,
and
next
up
we
have
the
consent
agenda.
All
items
with
an
asterisk
are
considered
to
be
routine
by
the
council
and
will
be
enacted
by
one
motion.
There
will
be
no
separate
discussion
on
these
items
unless
a
council,
member
or
citizen
so
requests,
in
which
case
the
item
will
be
removed
from
the
general
order
of
business
and
considered
in
its
normal
sequence.
Madam
mayor.

Section
two:
that
the
city
of
boise
wants
all
our
employees
to
know
that
they
belong,
that
we
want
them
to
thrive
in
our
organization
and
that
we
support
them
in
bringing
their
best
selves
to
the
work
that
they
do
for
the
city
and
our
community
and
that
they
play
a
crucial
role
in
shaping
the
future
of
our
city.
Section
three:
that
we
request.
C
Thank
you.
You
know
in
talking
to
the
employees
at
the
city,
it's
clear
to
me
that
they
will
they
they
would
like
this
direction
and
that
they
believe
that
they'll
be
better
able
to
follow
through
on
this
work.
With
with
that
direction
and
support
from
city
council
and
applaud
councilmember
sanchez,
for
seeing
this
through
and
we'll
be
supporting
the
motion.
G
Mayor,
I
know
a
lot
of
work
went
into
this
from
from
our
staff
from
your
office,
and
I
really
do
appreciate
the
staff
being
willing
to
push
this
forward.
I
think
that
we
do
want
them
to
be
able
to
show
up
for
their
best
as
their
best
selves
every
single
day,
and
I
appreciate
the
direction
from
the
mayor
from
council
president
and
especially
council
pro
tem
sanchez,
for
pushing
this
forward
to
making
this
a
priority
at
the
city
and
I'm
so
excited
to
support
it.
Good
job.
J
J
As
a
student
leader
at
boise
state.
When
I
worked
on
creating
a
requirement
that
we
add
multiculturalism
to
our
graduation
requirement,
it
eventually
happened
in
2005,
and
it's
now
known
as
university
foundations
at
boise
state
and
in
my
work
as
a
civil
rights
investigator
with
the
idaho
human
rights
commission.
J
I've
always
looked
for
ways
for
us
to
be
better
with
each
other
in
service
to
the
community,
and
so
I'm
so
excited
and
grateful
to
our
staff,
who
I
know,
are
going
to
embrace
this
opportunity
to
work
better
with
each
other
and
to
create
that
environment
where
we
can
bring
the
best
of
ourselves
to
work
every
day.
And
so
I
thank
all
of
our
staff
for
welcoming
that
opportunity.
A
All
right,
you
know,
I
don't
plan
to
vote,
but
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
really
appreciate
the
council's
commitment
to
this,
and
our
staff
does
as
well,
and
this
signal
from
each
of
you
is
important
to
them,
as
they
continue
to
to
do
everything
they
can
to
make
our
city
government
as
a
place
to
work
incredibly
diverse,
reflective
of
this
community
and
and
in
that
way
we
get.
You
know
the
best
and
the
brightest
and
the
best
ideas
to
serve
our
residents.
A
B
I
B
C
C
J
A
C
Madam
mayor,
yes,
I
move
that
all
rules
of
the
council,
interfering
with
the
immediate
consideration
of
ordinance
4421,
be
be
suspended,
that
the
portions
of
idaho
code
5902,
requiring
an
ordinance
to
be
read
on
three
different
days
twice
by
title
and
once
in
full,
be
dispensed
with
and
that
the
records
show
it
has
been
read
for
the
third
time
in

A

Okay,
so,
and
then
we
don't
expect
the
west
valley,
neighborhood
association,
but
jim
or
someone
from
west
valley,
if
you're
online,
we
let
us
know
and
typically
with
subdivisions
we'll
hear
from
staff
the
applicant,
oh
ms
delgado.
Excuse
me
the
applicant
can
let
us
know
if
you're
in
in
agreement
with
the
terms
and
conditions
of
the
staff
report
and
we'll
take
it
from
there.
Cody
go
ahead.
E
Thank
you,
madam
mayor
members
of
council.
This
is
a
request
for
preliminary
and
final
plat
approval
for
a
subdivision
that
includes
one
common
and
nine
buildable
lots
on
just
under
one
acre
parcel.
The
property
is
located
at
2393
north
wildwood
street,
for
those
unfamiliar
with
the
area.
It's
about
a
quarter
mile
southeast
of
redwood
park
in
west
boise.
E
The
property
is
zoned,
r1c
or
single-family
residential
that
allows
up
to
eight
units
an
acre,
as
you
can
see,
on
the
vicinity
map
much
of
the
surrounding
area
or
the
majority
of
the
surrounding
area
has
already
been
developed
at
suburban
densities
in
terms
of
the
project
itself.
Again,
it
includes
nine
buildable
lots.
E
One
of
those
lots
at
the
front
of
the
site
will
be
occupied
by
an
existing
single-family
home
that
will
be
retained.
The
remaining
lots,
oh
and
that
lot
will
also
allow
for
the
retention
of
a
number
of
existing
mature
trees
that
exist
on
site.
The
remaining
eight
lots
will
be
occupied
by
attached
town
homes.
E
Those
homes
will
take
access
from
a
shared
service
drive
along
the
eastern
side
of
the
site.
That
drive
does
include
an
attached
sidewalk.
That
will
be
connecting
to
attach
sidewalk
along
that
small
segment
of
wildwood,
and
that
is
consistent
with
the
attached
sidewalks
on
both
sides
of
the
subject
property.
E
So
with
that
the
project
does
meet
or
exceed
all
objective
standards
of
the
development
code.
We
remain
unaware
of
opposition
from
any
service
provider
for
the
property,
and
so
with
that
consistent
with
the
commission's
action,
we
are
recommending
approval
of
the
subdivision
this
evening.
Thank
you.
E
Madam
mayor
councilmember
clay,
unfortunately
last
lesson
learned
that
project
I
was
actually
looking
at
and
preparing
back
in
1999
the
way
that
was
planted,
there's
actually
three
or
four
feet.
It's
actually
2.59
feet:
separation
from
the
corner
of
that
old
property
or
the
property
that's
before
us
tonight
and
the
ride
away
there.
So
you
would
be
going
through.
It
hits
the
corner
of
those
two
adjacent
private
residential
lots.
E
C
A
K
Hello,
my
name
is
jory
delgado.
I
am
with
jbi
elemental.
I
am
agree.
I
am
in
agreement
with
all
of
your
guys's
conditions
of
approval,
so
I
don't
have
anything
else
to
present
tonight,
but
as
far
as
the
walkway
in
that
far
corner,
we
would
be
open
to
that
if
it
was
something
that
we
could
work
out
later
on
down
the
road
but,
like
you
said,
we
haven't
really
looked
into
that,
but
we
can
definitely
look
into
that.
If
that
is
something
that
you
guys
want
to
add
to
the
conditions
of
approval.
C
A
C
I
apologize,
I
was
on
the
right
one
until
I
started
reading
that
I
turned
the
paper
over
madame
air.
I
moved
that
we
approve
atrium
heights,
subdivision
suv,
2140
boise
city,
preliminary
and
final
plot,
with
the
addition
of
a
condition
to
require
a
access
agreement
in
the
south
west
corner.
Should
access
ever
be
available.
I
I
A
Then
applicants
unless
it's
an
appeal,
that'll
be
a
little
different
and
then
we'll
go
through
folks
I'll
check
in
on
to
see
who
here
is
in
person
to
testify
on
the
items
and
then
we'll
go
to
the
online
folks
that
have
called
in
and
with
that
welcome.
The
first
item
is
the
urban
renewal
plan
for
state
street.
L
Thank
you,
madam
mayor
council,
I'd
like
to
introduce
the
team.
That's
with
me
tonight
on
ccdc's
behalf
for
this
state
street
urban
renewal
plan,
so
matt
edmond
is
behind
me.
Matt
will
be
giving
the
presentation
to
council
tonight.
Also
here
is
megan
conrad
on
the
legal
side
of
things
and
then
online.
We
have
karen
k
from
sb
friedman
so
with
that
I'll
pass
it
over
to
matt.
Thank
you.
M
M
So
the
state
street
study
area
it
spans
approximately
six
miles
from
27th
street
in
the
east,
to
horseshoe
bend
road
in
the
west,
encompassing
577
acres
that
is
inclusive
of
right-of-way
on
668
parcels.
It
is
based
on
the
study
area
that
was
laid
out
in
the
eligibility
or
yeah
the
eligibility
study
that
the
city
council
approved
back
in
2019,
directing
ccdc
to
to
move
forward
with
an
urban
renewal
plan
for
state
street.
M
M
So
real
quick
urban
renewal
plan
objectives-
and
these
are
on,
I
believe,
page
13
of
the
plan.
So
we
basically
grouped
it
into
these
five
categories
so
that
transit-oriented
development
to
encourage
private
development,
that
is
supportive
of
and
supported
by,
transit,
improved
conditions
for
walking
biking
and
transit
through
public
investment
in
streets
utilities,
public
spaces,
transit
facilities
and
other
public
infrastructure.
M
Mixed-Use
development,
promoting
mixed-use,
residential
retail,
commercial
and
office
development
along
the
corridor
that
is
oriented
toward
and
provides
economic,
educational,
recreational
residential
opportunities
for
surrounding
neighborhoods,
open
space.
Securing
and
improving
public
open
space
and
recreational
facilities
where
needed,
increase
the
supply
of
affordable
and
workforce
housing
along
the
straight
street
corridor
and
then,
lastly,
preservation
and
adaptive
reuse
to
encourage
redevelopment
strategies
that
employ
historic
preservation
and
adaptive.
Reuse
of
culturally
significant
sites
and
structures
where
feasible.
M
So
one
of
the
questions-
I've
gotten
a
lot
in
the
last
couple
years
is
is:
why
are
no?
Why
why
do
we
need
it?
You
know
we're
seeing
plenty
of
development
boys
right
now,
and
so
the
top
line
is
to
deliver
development
outcomes
with
significant
public
benefit,
which
the
market
would
not
otherwise
deliver
on
its
own
below.
There
are
some
some
sub
bullets
mixed
use:
development,
mixed
income,
affordable
housing.
M
Those
are
generally
pretty
hard
to
do
to
make
pencil
or
get
financing
for
without
some
assistance
extra
push
there
that
urban
renewal
can
provide,
provide
landscape
buffers.
Obviously,
highway
district
controls
most
of
the
roadways.
They
do
not
do
things
like
landscape
buffers
in
the
absence
of
a
cost
share
agreement,
so
we
could
pick
that
up
parks
and
public
space
and
pathways.
M
M
M
We
followed
that
up
with
another
survey,
asking
them
to
prioritize
based
on
a
notional
budget
in
the
spring
of
2021.
It
went,
live
march
15th
and
was
open
until
april
5th
and
basically
asked
them
to
spend
a
notional
budget
on
things
like
mobility,
improvements,
place-making
and
economic
development,
and
then
we
followed
that
up
in
june
of
this
year,
with
a
community
forum
kind
of
walking
through
what
we
what
we
suggested
in
the
plan
based
on
based
on
that
input.
M
M
We
also
did
a
fair
amount
of
interagency
coordination,
not
only
with
the
city,
arts
and
history,
department,
housing,
community
development,
comprehensive
planning
and
pds
I.t
and
public
works
parks
and
recreation,
as
well
as
the
mayor's
office,
and
then
the
state
street
mou
partners,
that's
transportation,
land
use
and
transit
agencies
involved
with
the
corridor.
So
the
city
of
boise,
garden,
city,
eagle,
anita
county
katy,
county
highway,
district,
idaho
transportation,
department
and
valley,
regional
transit.
M
We
also
talked
to
preservation,
idaho.
They
had
some
concerns
out
here
with
that
we,
and
so
as
a
result
of
that
we
did
a
cultural
resource
survey,
and
I
have
a
report
on
that.
I
believe
there
are
23
significant
sites
or
structures
out
here
that
we
identified
and
did
I
did
present
the
garden
city
council
earlier
this
year.
The
entire
district
is
within
the
city
of
boise,
but
obviously
it's
got
a
lot
of
adjacency
with
garden
city,
so
felt
it
was
good
to
reach
out
to
them.
M
So
one
document
you
won't
see
in
the
plan,
but
it's
not
it's
not
a
plan
attachment,
but
it
did
inform
the
plan
and
the
feasibility
study.
It's
a
compelling
vision
of
what
we
expect
to
see
along
state
street.
We
would
like
to
see
provides
guidance
for
that
20-year
term.
It's
not
a
regulatory
document,
but
it
does
have
some.
M
M
That's
included
in
section
502.3
of
the
plan
on
page
31.,
so
the
adjusted
base
value
of
all
urban
renewal
districts,
including
state
street
at
this
time,
is
about
3.1
percent
of
boise
city
taxable
value.
So
we
meet
that
nexus
statement
listing
the
kind
number
location
of
all
proposed
public
works
or
improvements
within
the
revenue
allocation
area.
M
M
M
M
M
So
here's
what
we
expect
to
see
in
revenues,
so
just
over
103
million
in
present
value
assumptions
getting
us
there.
So
current
growth
and
housing
values
to
continue
for
a
couple
more
years
at
a
fairly
ambitious
amount
and
then
moderating
down
for
a
couple
of
years,
stabilizing
it
about
two
percent
annually.
M
You
can
see
we
have
about
93.6
million
in
funded
project
costs,
that's
in
present
value,
20,
21
dollars
about
21
and
a
half
million
in
unfunded
costs,
and
you
have
project
categories
here.
They
follow
our
ccdc
strategies,
so
economic
development
infrastructure,
mobility,
placemaking
and
special
projects,
real
quick
economic
development,
things
like
fostering
redevelopment
of
challenged
parcels
promoting
mixed
use,
mixed
income
development,
most
often
through
land
acquisition
and
other
incentives
infrastructure.
M
So
the
process
to
date
on
august
9th
the
ccdc
board
approved
the
plan
and
framework
for
transmission
of
the
city
september
10th.
We,
the
the
plan,
was
transmitted
to
the
underlying
taxing
districts.
No
later
than
that
date,
and
the
first
publication
of
note
of
public
hearing
notice,
the
public
hearing
was
then
september.
13Th,

Finding
conformity
with
blueprint
september
24th
was
the
second
publication,
and
that
brings
us
to
today,
city
council,
public
hearing
and
hopefully,
first
reading
with
second
and
third
in
the
weeks
to
follow,
should
should
the
city
council
see
fit
to
approve
the
ordinance
authorizing
the
district,
we
would
get
the
plan
transmitted
and
recorded
and
published
before
december
31st
and
then,
in
accordance
with.
I
cannot
remember
the
legislation
at
this
point,
but
we
would
expect
to
have
an
agreement
in
place
with
the
highway
district
by
september
1st
of
next
year.
M
C
C
Thank
you
for
your
presentation
and
for
the
outreach
there's
at
least
from
the
contacts
I
have
gotten
on
this
or
there's
a
lot
of
public
support
where,
in
the
beginning
there
was
some
skepticism,
I
guess
you'd
say
about
how
this
might
work.
So
I
really
appreciate
the
hard
work
so
question
for
you:
we've
added
as
one
of
the
purposes
of
these
districts,
mixed
income,
affordable
housing.
M
Madam
mayor
councilman,
clay,
that's
a
great
question,
so
those
those
five
categories
are
our
strategies.
They're,
what's
been
laid
out
by
our
board
and,
I
would
say,
principally,
to
get
mixed
income
affordable
housing
if
we
were
to
do
it
through
a
land
acquisition
and
and
request
for
proposal
process
that
be
under
economic
development.
That's
where
the
land
acquisition
is
where
those
funds
have
been
slated,
but
certainly
things
like
infrastructure.
G
Well,
first
of
all,
thank
you
for
all
the
hard
work
that's
gone
into
this.
I
know
it's
been
a
ton
and
I
know
a
lot
of
it's
taken
place
during
a
pandemic
and
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
do
all
that
stuff
while
engaging
with
people
meaningfully.
So
that's
really
appreciated,
and
I
got
a
lot
of
positive
feedback
as
well
towards
the
end
people
that
you
continue
to
check
in
with
so
again
really
appreciate
it.
G
I
did
get
one
note
from
preservation,
idaho,
in
support
of
the
plan
and
thank
you
for
the
plan
and
also
sort
of
highlighting
that
the
cultural
part
of
the
plan
they
felt
was
maybe
more
of
a
side.
Note
not
a
central
part
of
the
plan,
and
I
didn't
know
if
any
work
had
been
done.
It
looks
like
that
note
maybe
was
received
by
you
as
well
to
incorporate
it
more
fully
into
the
plan.
M
Sure
so,
madam
mayor
council,
member
halliburton,
so
we
did
commission
a
cultural
resource
survey
that
was
done
by
preservation
solutions
and
it
was
finished
up
by
sherry,
freeman
jub.
When
kerry
unfortunately
passed
away
last
december
and
couldn't
complete
it,
I
believe
there
were
23
sites
or
structures,
be
they
flumes.
M
You
know
specific
buildings,
things
like
that
that
were
identified
in
it,
I
would
say
over
half
are
at
least
mentioned
in
the
framework
we
have
1.9
million,
that's
slated
out
of
out
of
all
the
costless
and
the
feasibility,
so
1.9
million
for
historic
preservation
and
that's
somewhat
limited
on
what
we
can,
what
we
can
spend
funds
on
short
of
acquiring
it.
If
it's
a
private
property
private
structure,
we're
more
we're
limited
to
basically
maybe
doing
a
historic,
easement
facade
easement
for
it.
M
M
Others.
You
know
I
just
mad
infant
personally,
I
don't.
I
don't
see
where
it's
at,
but
it
certainly
will
continue
to
work
with
preservation,
idaho,
where
opportunities
exist
and
also
the
vast
majority,
you
know
say,
save
the
one
big
one.
You
know
the
the
itd
headquarters,
the
vast
majority
are
in
private
ownership,
and
so,
while
we
can
work
with
them
to
try
to
get
some
sort
of,
you
know
preservation
status.

Ord-45-21,
an
ordinance
of
the
city
council
of
the
city
of
boise
city,
idaho,
approving
the
urban
renewal
plan
for
the
state
street
district
urban
renewal
project,
which
plan
includes
revenue,
allocation
financing
provisions
authorizing
the
city
clerk
to
transmit
a
copy
of
this
ordinance
and
other
required
information
to
county
and
state
officials
and
other
taxing
entities.
Providing
several
ability.
Approving
the
summary
of
the
ordinance
and
providing
effective
date.
A
D
K
D
Want
to
know
that
neither
one
of
us
are
developers,
neither
one
of
us
have
any
financial
stake
in
urban
renewal
at
all.
We
just
really
appreciate
the
way
that
it
can
really
enhance
our
city
in
the
ways
that
we
envision
our
city
growing.
So
this
is
a
really
exciting
day
and
I
just
want
to
give
a
round
of
applause
to
the
ccdc
staff
and
our
city
staff
for
all
of
the
hard
work
and
all
of
the
outreach
that
they
did
to
make
this
successful
so
well
done.
Thank
you.
C
C
If
you
look
at
that,
it's
a
couple
of
exciting
things
to
me.
First,
the
electric
buses
that
we
just
got
delivered
at
valley.
Regional
transit
are
running
on
the
state
street
corridor
right
now,
and
if
you
look
at
the
renderings
in
that
corridor
plan,
many
of
them
depicted
having
electric
buses
there
so
we're
a
little
bit
ahead
of
the
game
in
terms
of
the
kind
of
vehicles
that
we're
using.
C
C
The
last
piece
of
the
puzzle
to
ensuring
that
the
state
street
corridor
actually
can
function
as
a
high-capacity
transit
corridor
in
the
future,
and
this
plan
will
help
with
some
of
those
roadway
and
bus
stop
enhancements,
as
well
as
the
economic
development
and
the
other
things
that
will
make
this
a
special
place
over
time,
and
so
thank
you.
Everyone
who's
worked
on
this.
This
is
an
exciting
day
to
actually
have
the
tools
in
place
now
to
complete
the
vision.
That's
so
long
been
desired
along
this
corridor.
A
G
G
This
is
a
huge
huge
thing,
I
think
for
everyone
in
our
city,
and
hopefully
the
lack
of
people
here-
is
a
testament
to
support
for
this
plan
and
the
outreach
that
you
did
along
the
way
and
I'm
always
a
huge
supporter
of
more
outreach
whenever
we
can
do
it.
So
again.
I
just
want
to
thank
you
all
for
the
hard
work
that
you
put
into
this
the
engagement
every
single
step
of
the
way,
and
I'm
really
excited
to
see
how
this
develops
until
2042.
O
Adam
mayor
brief
point,
I
just
wanted
to
show
my
support
as
well.
You
know
I've
watched
these
districts
and
how
they
how
they
produce
over
the
last
12
years
on
council
and
it's
really
impressive,
to
see
what
goes
back
into
these
areas
and
how
it's
dramatically
improved,
and
so
I
I
want
to
thank
you
all
your
staff
and
and
yourself
matt
elaine
and
everyone
that's
been
involved
with
this,
because
this
is
a
really
unique
and
exciting
cid,
and
I
I
can't
wait
to
see
it
in
action.
So
thank
you.
A
A
We
will
now
move
on
to
the
appeal
of
pud
21-24
we've
got
kevin,
welcome
kevin
from
pds,
and
then
we'll
have
is
the
appellant
here
in
person,
hello,
welcome
and
then
we
will
have
the
applicant
is
the
applicant
here
in
person,
welcome
hello
and
then
we've
got
two
parties
of
record
christine
isaacs
and
marsha
pursley.
I
see
marcia
as
christine
here.
A
I
P
M
P
P
The
applicant
would
have
their
entitlements
in
order
and
they
have
submitted
a
conditional
letter
of
map
revision
to
fema,
which
has
been
approved
so
really.
The
next
step
here
is
to
submit
a
floodplain
development
application
to
the
city,
so
it'll
be
through
that
application
that
the
appellant's
concerns
with
the
floodplains
can
be
adequately
reviewed
and
addressed.
P
So
in
conclusion,
and
outlined
in
your
project
report,
the
planning
team
does
not
find
that
the
grounds
presented
with
this
appeal
show
any
errors
with
the
commission's
approval
of
the
pud
modification.
So
therefore,
we
recommend
that
the
appeal
be
denied
and
the
original
approval
upheld.
Thank
you.
A
C
Right
matamira,
yes
kevin.
When
we
first
heard
this,
we
heard
many
of
the
same
concerns
that
we're
hearing
tonight
and
we
made
the
conclusion
not
to
disturb
the
vegetation
because
of
the
floodplain,
but
just
for
the
record,
I've
read
the
record.
I
read
the
as
it
came
back
to
planning
and
zoning
for
the
modification.
P
C
A
N
I
am
gene
heinz
the
appellant,
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
john
beacham,
who
is
out
of
town.
I
live
at
6779
north
pierce
park,
lane
boise,
I'm
a
signatory
on
the
appeal
of
the
landscape
plan
I
am
presenting
on
behalf
of
the
steering
committee
and
concerned
neighbors
and
friends,
friends
of
pierce
gulch,
madam
mayor
and
members
of
the
boise
city
council.
We
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
provide
additional
input
into
the
process
for
approving
the
reserve
of
deer
valley.
N
N
N
N
Furthermore,
the
2017
theme
and
conditional
letter
every
revision,
the
clomar,
which
was
based
on
the
original
development
plan,
assumed
assumed
a
roughness
coefficient
that
was
predicated
on
maintaining
the
vegetation,
composition
and
structure
in
the
gulch.
The
changes
proposed
in
the
landscape
plan,
approved
by
the
planning
and
zoning
commission,
alters
the
entire
logic
of
the
fema
analysis.
N
The
landscape
plan,
while
perhaps
an
overall
improvement
to
the
original,
has
not
been
studied
and
certified
a
floodplain
application
permit
was
not
processed
concurrently
with
the
proposed
landscape
plan,
as
required
by
boise
city
code,
1103
18-5,
the
boise
city
council,
approved
the
preliminary
plan
for
the
reserve
at
deer
valley
without
processing
the
flood
plan
permit.
At
the
same
time,
the
project
is
clearly
in
the
pierce
gulch
flood
plain
and
subject
to
the
requirements
of
the
boise
code.
N
1108
flood
hazard
regulations
in
hillside
and
foothills
ordinance,
boise
city
code
requires
that
the
floodplain
administrator
shall
perform
the
following
to
determine
whether
the
development
is
within
the
floodway
or
floodway
fringe.
The
administer
administrator
shall
disclose
to
the
commission
and
the
city
council
whether
the
development
is
in
or
not
in
compliance
with
chapter
110807.
N
It
also
requires
the
administrator
to
make
interpretations
of
the
location
of
the
floodway
and
floodway
fringe
on
the
property.
We
believe
this
is
an
essential
step
for
planning
and
zoning
commission
and
boise
city
council
to
fully
assess
the
potential
for
flooding
and
sediment
transfer
onto
downstream
properties
from
the
proposed
development.
N
N
In
summary,
the
specific
flood
hazard
regulations
must
be
applied
to
this
landscape
plan.
As
john
beecham
presented
in
his
testimony
to
the
planning
and
zoning
commission
in
august.
The
reactions
must
occur.
Concurrent
processing
of
the
development
proposals
with
the
boise
city
floodplain,
permit
determination
of
flood
boundaries
by
the
floodplain
administrator,
a
report
from
planning
staff
regarding
compliance
or
non-compliance
with
boise
sitting
code.
N
What
fema
requires
for
our
type
of
community
type
b
is
one
every
development
proposal,
such
as
the
landscape
plan,
must
have
a
related
permit,
as
stated
previously,
the
required
floodplain
application
permit
was
not
processed
concurrently
with
the
submitted
landscape
plan.
Two
every
development
proposal
must
be
evaluated
on
this
question.
Is
the
development
proposal
reasonably
safe
from
flooding?
N
Three
every
development
proposal
must
contain
base
flood
elevation,
so
the
height
of
the
100-year
flood
is
clearly
depicted
as
downstream
property
owners.
We
would
prefer
that
the
city
council
require
the
developers
to
use
current
data
to
support
the
development
plan
rather
than
data
from
a
flood
study
completed
in
2017.
N
In
conclusion,
this
request
the
boise
city
council,
is
to
uphold
the
appeal
and
deny
the
modification,
the
landscape
plan.
Until
all
the
appropriate
side,
inventory
and
analysis
work
is
completed
and
is
current.
Finally,
as
you
know,
risk
travels
downstream,
and
this
fact
is
the
basis
of
our
concern
and
our
appeal.
Thank
you.

Q
Okay,
I'm
alex
agarola
332
north
from
our
way
in
nampa,
idaho,
I'm
alec
landis
playing
with
to
engineers-
and
I
am
the
applicant
and
representative
for
the
reserve
at
deer
valley
and
its
pud
modification
and
I'll
be
joining
my
presentation
tonight
by
jamie
snyder,
the
landscape
architect
on
the
project,
and
I
will
also
be
joined
by
dave
sterling
and
john
carpenter.
There
are
project
engineers
on
site
for
any
engineering,
related
questions
or
flood
study
related
questions
as
well.
Q
Q
So
the
existing
zoning
of
r1a
is
tremendous.
Previously
approved-
and
this
intent
is
to
complement
the
existing
zoning
and
land
use
in
the
area,
while
also
develop
respectfully
to
neighbors,
to
the
city
and
to
the
environment
and
overall,
this
is
to
improve
those
site
conditions,
while
also
reducing
impacts
that
we've
been
discussing
tonight
and
with
our
proposed
plan.
Q
Q
Flexibility,
so
adjacent
homes,
as
shown
on
the
sidelock
condition
slide
here,
will
have
grading
feasible
for
those
shared
drives.
As
you
see
here,
the
sidewalk
grading
will
be
variable
from
lot
to
lot
so
that
flexible
setback
will
allow
the
developer
to
kind
of
move
the
houses
best
suited
to
special
grading
characteristics
of
the
site,
and
that
concludes
my
portion
of
the
presentation
I'll
hand
it
over
to
jamie
as
she
goes
further
in
depth
into
the
landscape
plan.
Thank
you.
H
H
As
alec
mentioned,
we're
here
to
present
tonight
for
council
and
ask
for
them
to
uphold
the
commission's
decision
to
approve
the
modification
as
presented
was
selectively
removed
and
based
his
species
along
the
banks
of
the
gulch
and
revegetate
with
a
more
native
plant
palette,
as
it
is
the
design
team's
observation,
that's
similar
to
other
areas
in
the
in
the
boise
foothills.
This
project
site
has
been
invaded
by
invasive
species
and
peppered
with
aging
and
declining
trees,
declining
trees
of
health.
Many
of
the
invasive
species
are
located
within
the
riparian
corridor
as
well
in
uplands.
H
This
is
leading
to
a
decline
in
the
number
of
native
plants
on
site
which
are
vital
to
the
area's
wildlife,
water
and
soil
health.
As
a
part
of
this
overall
development,
we're
planning
to
provide
a
phased
approach
to
selectively
reduce
the
invasive
plant
species
with
as
little
impact
the
riparian
zone
as
possible.
H
Our
goals
in
this
project
are
to
reduce
and
maintain
invasive
species.
Populations
over
time
establish
a
diverse
riparian
of
an
upland
habitat
using
a
diverse
palette
of
native
plant
species,
enhance,
protect
and
increase
the
native
plant
species
available
to
local
wildlife
and
create
a
sustainable
system
that
integrates
the
built
environment
into
the
existing
habitat
through
the
reintroduction
of
native
plants
to
the
project
area.
It's
our
intent
to
provide
additional
habitat
for
local
wildlife,
reduce
the
presence
of
insects
and
pests
and
stabilize
the
soil
with
extensive
strong
root
systems
of
a
native
plant
palette.
H
With
their
fast
growth
rate
and
high
seed
production
in
the
years
since
the
original
approval,
numerous
pockets
of
invasive
plant
species
have
been
able
to
establish
themselves
within
the
banks
of
the
gulch.
The
design
team
has
taken
great
care
and
time
to
catalog
the
existing
species
and
their
existing
conditions
throughout
the
gulf
and
the
uplands
of
the
property.
H
H
Reintroducing
native
species
along
the
stream
bank
and
help
us
towards
our
goal
to
create
a
sustainable
environment
by
utilizing
their
beneficial
characteristics
of
native
plants,
such
as
their
their
being
able
to
adapt
to
a
region's
climate
being
able
to
create
deep
and
extensive
root
systems
for
soil
stabilization
and
nutrient
absorption,
and
also
provide
a
diverse
habitat
and
forage
opportunities
for
local
wildlife
in
opposition.
A
non-native
plant
species
is
often
short-lived
in
their
non-native
region
and
they
also
reduce
complex
plant
communities
with
their
quick
establishment
in
a
monoculture.
H
In
addition
to
the
revegetation
and
mitigation
plan
for
the
development,
another
notable
revision,
as
alec
mentioned,
the
landscape
plan
is
the
increased
open
space.
These
cgi
images
on
the
screen
graphically
represent
our
plan
to
cluster
the
footprints
of
the
development.
In
order
to
maintain
large
expanses
of
undeveloped,
open
space.
H
G
Well,
first,
I'm
a
huge
advocate
for
removing
invasive
species,
especially
if
you
can
put
native
species
in
as
well.
Was
there
something
about
the
redevelopment
of
the
plan,
the
movement
of
the
houses
that
created
a
need
to
change
the
landscaping
plan
from
the
conditions
that
were
there,
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
what
the
what
the
reason
or
the
motivation
was
for.
Switching
from
what
was
on
the
plan
to
what
is
currently
on
the
plan.
Now.
G
And
madame
here
just
a
quick
follow-up
there,
so
I
guess
what
I'm
trying
to,
I
guess
fully
understand
is:
it
seems
like
there
is
a
you
could
have
left
it
there.
You
could
have
left
the
and
continued
to
follow
through
with
the
conditions
that
were
set
earlier,
but
you
felt
like,
if
you
followed,
through
with
those
conditions
that
were
said
earlier,
that
it
actually
would
be
problematic
as
far
as
the
landscaping
that
was
there,
it
turned
out
to
be
a
bigger
problem.
There
was
more
invasive
species
that
came
in.
H
I
believe
from
the
original
approval,
and
until
now,
more
invasive
species
have
come
into
the
gulch
and
we've
also
seen
a
decline
in
health
of
some
of
the
species
that
are
there
and
someone.
When
we
took
a
harder
look
at
that,
we
thought
it
would
benefit.
You
know:
wildlife,
health,
soil,
health,
water
quality
to
go
in,
and
I
kind
of
say
cherry
pick
things.
You
know
clean
up.
This
trim
that
take
out
an
invasive
species
while
we
were
in
there
and
just
to
benefit
the
overall
community
and
the
neighbors.
F
H
Correct,
madam
mayor
members
of
council,
so
the
memos
that
I
read
and
I
apologize-
I
don't
have
a
date
in
my
head
of
what
the
memo
was,
but
there
was
an
overall
vegetation
report
of
the
property
that
did
state
all
these
noxious
weeds
that
are
present
in
the
understory.
I
apologize.
I
don't
have
a
date
on
that,
but,
as
you
know,
seeds
blow
and
they
establish
over
time-
and
I
believe
that's
what's
happened
here
and
also
a
lot
of
these.
H
The
vegetation,
that's
in
the
gulch
things
like
black
locust
and
a
larger
tree
species
do
have
a
shorter
lifespan
and
if
we
go
back
to
one
of
those
historical
pictures,
they've
been
there
for
almost
60
years.
So
I
do
believe
that,
just
over
time,
even
over
five
years,
their
health
can
decline
rapidly.
F
One
follow-up:
my
second
question
dealing
with
particularly
the
noxious
weights
part
is
you
know
you
like.
Your
client,
like
everyone
in
ada
county,
has
a
duty
to
remove
those
weeds
from
their
property.
It's
not
it's
illegal
to
maintain
property
that
has
the
presence
of
some
of
those
plant
species.
So
my
question
is:
if
the
appeal
were
upheld
and
the
lands,
the
new
landscape
plan
were
not
approved,
would
you
be
able
to
remove
the
weeds
as
you're
required
to
under
ada
county
code.
A
H
I
think
you're
very
correct,
I
think
inside
if
it
was
if,
if
our
appeal
or
if
the
appeal
was
upheld
and
we
were
able
to
get
into
the
banks,
I'm
not
sure
we
could
do
anything
in
there
correct.
I
mean
that
would
be
saying
that
we
couldn't
do
anything
up
there.
We
could
do
anything
in
the
upland,
but
then
you
kind
of
continually
get
those
seeds
spreading
right,
so
it
just
kind
of
snowballs
from
there.
H
C
C
So
back
to
my
question
that
I
asked
the
appellant:
removing
these,
we
know
is
good
for
the
native
plant
species,
but
we
also
know,
as
the
appellant
noted,
that
in
some
cases
they
hold
the
stream
back
in
place.
They
create
some
good
as
well.
So
how?
How
do
you
balance
that
in
removing
it?
How
you
remove
it,
how
you
replace
it?
C
H
H
I
kind
of
describe
it
as
being
kind
of
cherry-picking
through
and
going
through
carefully
and
whether
that's
with
a
trained
arborist
or
a
specialist
and
looking
at
each
individual
pocket
and,
like
you
say
on
that
plan,
there's
very
that
whole
gulch,
we
have
not.
You
know,
created
in
a
in
a
red
cloud
to
remove
everything.
What
we'd
like
to
do
is
go
through
and
assess
each
species.
If
that
black
locust
say
was
in
good
health,
looked
good,
looked
stable,
wasn't
going
to
be
a
detriment
to
to
fall,
or
anything
like
that.
H
I
feel
that
would
be
a
good
candidate
to
stay.
There
would
be
no
reason.
You
know
why
we
need
to
take
that
and
destabilize
the
soil,
but
maybe
the
neighbor
neighboring
tree,
a
black
locust
that
is
declining
health
is
unstable.
We
take
that
one.
You
know
and
then
continue
on
kind
of
terry
picking
our
way
down
the
gulch.
H
We
don't
have
a
true
maintenance
plan
set
out
yet,
but
I
do
agree,
it's
very
important
to
have
in
place
before
we
start
doing
this
and
once
again
it
would
be
a
phased,
a
phased
program
where
we
wouldn't
do
this
all
at
one
time.
So
we
would
give
time
for
every
vegetative
plant
material
to
take
hold
and
then
go
in
and
maybe
and
move
or
remove
a
couple
more
as
we
go
down.
C
H
R
I
live
at
7193
north
pierce
park
road
lane.
This
development
started
off
proposal.
Pud
21
started
off
on
the
right
foot
in
its
application.
It
said
that
their
proposal
is
in
the
hillside,
is
in
a
flood
plain
and
then
as
a
zone
a-
and
so
I
credit
you
for
being
honest
and
forthright
about
these
three
areas.
R
R
R
R
Now
the
clomor
response
letter
to
boise
city
said
that
you
have
to
give
precedence
to
your
more
restrictive
floodplain
management
criteria.
You
can
look
it
up.
It's
there.
I've
seen
it
a
million
times
it's
in
the
may
3rd
2017
letter.
So
what
are
the
more
restrictive
floodplain
management
criteria
in
the
boise
city
code,
which
is
a
heck
of
a
good
code?
In
my
opinion,
those
those
floodplain
management
criteria,
the
more
restrictive
are
in
1107,
1108
and
1109,
but
none
of
them
were
applied
to
this
proposal.
R
R
A
A
P
Metamer
council
president
clegg,
the
the
process
that
this
is
going
through
and,
as
I
kind
of
mentioned
in
that
one
slide
of
what
the
typical
steps
are,
I
mean
really
that's
outlined
in
code
and
how
we
process
first
entitlements.
Then,
typically,
we
would
do
a
floodplain
application
so
with
this
particular
modification
that
we're
looking
at
we're
looking
at
it
through
the
lens
of
the
pud
approval
criteria.
We
will
then
you
know-
as
I
stated
before,
you
know
before
any
dirt
is
moved
before
any
permits
are
looked
at.
C
P
Madam
mayor
of
council
department,
president
clegg,
yes
partially,
so
this
pud
landscape
plan
would
form
the
the
final
plot
which
has
been
submitted,
but
it
would
also
require
a
landscape
plan
and
as
a
condition
of
approval.
That
final
plot
will
also
come
before
this
body
as
new
business.
When
we
get
to
that
point-
and
I
believe
even
but
before
that,
we
would
also
need
the
floodplain
development
permit
to
be
approved.
So
that's
kind
of
two
steps
away,
even
from
where
we're
at
tonight.
B
S
S
So
back
in
2015-16,
we
met
with
city
staff
and
it
was
determined
that
we
need
to
submit
a
floodplain
development
permit
and
that
the
city
wants
to
take
the
additional
step
of
samaria
clomar,
which
is
a
conditional
letter
of
map
amendment
to
fema,
so
that
basically
get
fema's
approval
of
our
proposed
improvements,
because
there
is
no
way
to
avoid
some
work
in
the
floodway.
We
have
the
road
crossing,
for
instance
that
goes
across
it,
and
so
because
we
had
to
get
into
the
floodway.
S
Now,
it's
just
a
zone,
a
it's
just,
a
flood
hazard
undefined.
You
had
a
question
earlier
about.
There
were
some
documentations
about
vegetation
from
the
city,
and
I
don't
know
you
know.
I
don't
know
exactly
what
jim
was
thinking,
but
my
thought
when
he
was
writing
that,
because
he
is
a
he
was
the
one
engineers
for
the
city
was.
S
He
was
probably
thinking
more
about
the
vegetation
as
far
as
like
flood
plain
right,
like
I
don't
know
if
he
was
necessarily
documenting
the
species,
because
there
certainly
was
those
invasive
species
back
then
as
well,
they
might
not
been
at
the
same
level.
They
are
now,
but
they
were
present
back.
Then
you
had
a
question
about
erosion.
S
Yeah
the
city's
process
requires
that
we
submit
a
loma
rf
once
we
build
it
to
to
to.
Actually
you
know,
update
the
the
maps,
the
fema
maps,
and
then
the
city
requires
erosion
and
sediment
control
permit
as
part
of
any
of
our
work
out
there.
So
we
would
have
to
get
those
anyway,
but
I
mean
you
can
make
it
a
condition,
but
we
would
have
to
do
those.
N
Madam
mayor
and
boise
city
council,
there
is
a
logical
path
for
the
development
project
such
as
this,
and
it
starts
with
a
thorough
side,
inventory
and
analysis,
and
a
development
plan
should
be
designed
around
the
the
findings.
This
incl
includes
detailed
slopes,
soil
wetland,
floodplain
and
vegetation
studies.
A
G
I've
heard
this,
I
think
a
number
of
different
times,
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I
kind
of
have
it
perfectly
clear
with
the
conditions
that
are
already
in
place
and
the
procedures
that
we
already
follow,
it
seems
like
the
staff
is
telling
us
that
all
the
necessary
steps
will
have
to
be
done
and
everything
will
be
checked
off
to
get
all
the
the
plans
approved.
Am
I
understanding
that
correctly.
G
Then,
madame
air,
just
a
quick
follow-up,
so
in
addition
to
that,
the
concerns
that
were
just
brought
up
as
far
as
the
technical
details
and
the
plans
that
the
city
is
required
to
follow
what
I'm
hearing
from
staff
and
what
it
looked
like.
I
was
hearing
from
the
planning
and
zoning
commission
as
well,
is
that
all
the
technical
steps
were
followed
along
the
lines
to
this
point
so
far,
is
that
correct.
P
I
P
Madam
mayor
council,
president
clegg
yeah,
that
would
be
certainly
reasonable.
I
think
with
we
could
rewrite
that
condition
so
that,
with
the
final
plat
submittal
that
still
will
come
before
you
that
a
phasing
plan,
along
with
the
landscape
plan,
is
submitted,
with
kind
of
with
the
detail
of
how
that
phasing
plan
would
function.
C
A
F
Madam
mayor,
I
I
don't
have
any
problem
with
that,
like
the
reason
I
didn't
include
it
was
that
I
understood
from
the
staff
that
that
wouldn't
actually
require
any
additional
work
or
require
any
additional
documentation
or
procedure
creation.
So
I
didn't
understand
exactly
why
it
was
necessary,
but
I
knew
that
you
were
going
to
ask,
and
so
maybe
you
can
help
me
understand.
C
F
G
I
wasn't
here
the
first
time
this
came
before
council
and
that's
not
really
the
decision
we're
up
here
to
make
we're
really
up
here
to
approve
our
tonight
appeal,
and
I
don't
see
anything
that
hasn't
been
addressed.
That
would
cause
me
to
uphold
the
appeal
at
this
point
so
I'll
be
voting
in
favor
of
the
motion,
and
then
I
also
just
wanted
to
make
a
quick
note
that
I
think
somebody
left
their
sunglasses
or
eyeglasses
up
at
the
podium.
F
Madam
mayor
council
versus
halliburton
reminds
me
that
I
didn't
actually
explain
the
basis
of
my
motion.
I
just
amended
it
and
proceeded
so.
The
basis
of
the
motion
is
that
this
is
an
appeal
where
we
have
a
standard
that
we
have
to
apply,
and
I
agreed
with
the
staff
report
fully
as
to
its
analysis
of
the
appeal
standard
and
why
the
requirements
weren't
met.
F
The
only
additional
argument
that
we
heard
tonight,
apart
from
what
was
argued
on
paper,
was
that
the
planning
and
zoning
commission
aired
by
not
not
fully
considering
the
implications
of
its
decision.
I
think
the
phrase
was
fully
assessed.
The
potential
potential
impacts
of
the
amendments,
but
when
I
read
the
planning
and
zoning
commission's
transcript,
they
discussed
the
amendments
at
length.
They
received
a
lot
of
testimony
about
them.
F
C
C
I
think
there's
an
opportunity
to
get
there
in
a
way
that
works
well
and
my
request
to
modify
the
motion
was
actually
in
recognition
of
the
discussion
that
I
read
as
I
read
the
testimony
and
the
transcript
at
the
planning
and
zoning
commission
that
I
didn't
feel
was
adequately
reflected
in
the
very
simple
condition
that
was
added,
and
so
I
I
agree
with
council,
member
beijing
and
council
member
hallie
burton
that
this
issue
was
fully
vetted
fully
considered,
and
hopefully
this
will
clarify
what
was
heard
and
decided
at
that.
First
hearing.
