F. Site Data: Total Acreage of Site – 9.8 acres G. Development: The Applicant is seeking approval of a Rezone (to Residential R-7-DA) and a Development Agreement. REZONE: The applicant is requesting approval of a rezone application to change the zoning designation on 9.77 acres from Transitional Residential (RT) to Medium Density Residential This zoning district would allow for a maximum residential density of 7 dwelling units per acre. The property is currently serviceable with central sewer and water provided by Star Sewer and Water District. Two stub streets are provided to the property Knox Ave. & N. Park Vista Ave.) and the property has access onto N. Star Road with approximately 300 feet of frontage. The rezone request includes a development agreement that will address future density and development standards for any future subdivision plat that is submitted by the applicant. The applicant originally submitted a conceptual site plan that showed a layout of 65 residential lots, or a density of 6.65 dwelling units per acre. The concept plan and application narrative stated that the development will have detached sidewalks with tree lined streets, pathways to the Star Elementary School and “generous open space”. The concept plan indicates an open space park at the northeast corner of the property and pathways to the school. The total open space for the property will need to be 63,837 square feet (1.46 acres) in size and will need to include 42,558 square feet (.97 acres) of usable open space to meet the UDC requirements. ---PAGE BREAK--- INSPIRATION HOMES-IRENE WILSON FFCL FILE NO.

We reviewed this package to check conformance with the City Subdivision Ordinance and coordinated our review with Cathy Ward. There are a few outstanding items that need to be addressed prior to the City Engineer signing the final plat as indicated on the attached Final Plat and Construction Drawing Review Checklist. We recommend that the construction drawings and final plat be APPROVED. The City Engineer’s signature on the final plat will be withheld until the requirements identified on the attached checklist are satisfactorily addressed. The attached checklist was reviewed with the applicant’s engineer and it was agreed that the additional items needed for approval would be addressed. By stamping and signing the Final Plat and Construction Drawings, the Registered Professional Land Surveyor and Professional Engineer, respectively, are responsible to ensure that said plat and construction drawings conform to all City standards, ordinances, and policies (and State laws and statutes). Any variances or waivers to these standards, ordinances, or policies must be specifically and previously approved in writing by the City. Acceptance of the above referenced Final Plat and Construction Drawings does not relieve the Registered Professional Land Surveyor or the Registered Professional Engineer of those responsibilities.

The preliminary plat was approved for 14 residential lots. The submitted Final Plat has two fewer lots but is otherwise consistent with the preliminary plat. This subdivision is located in a special flood hazard zone per FEMA FIRM panel #16001C0130 H and 16601C0140 H. Base flood elevation in AE zone is 2496-2493 All floodway issues and permits shall be completed prior to signature of the final plat. R-2 setbacks will apply to this phase of the Moon Valley overall development. Staff Reviewed Comments from the Preliminary Plat Approval/Findings of Fact: The Preliminary Plat submitted contains 14 single family residential lots, and 4 common area lots (2 open space lots, 1 private road lot & 1 common drive lot). The existing single-family dwelling located to the south of the proposed lake is not a part of this annexation and preliminary plat and will remain in Ada County as a 5-plus acre parcel. The residential lots range in size from 13,300 square feet to 20,700 square feet, with an average lot size of 15,811 square feet. All streets are proposed to be private streets and must be built to ACHD standards. The submitted preliminary plat indicates street widths at 27 feet, well below the minimum required by Section 8-4D-34B(4) of the UDC. The preliminary plat indicates that the development will contain a total of 4.16 acres (40%) total open space within the two common lots.

The types and number of requirements that must be complied with under the federal Resource Conservations and Recovery Act (RCRA) and the Idaho Rules and Standards for Hazardous Waste (IDAPA 58.01.05) are based on the quantity and type of waste generated. Every business in Idaho is required to track the volume of waste generated, determine whether each type of waste is hazardous, and ensure that all wastes are properly disposed of according to federal, state, and local requirements.  No trash or other solid waste shall be buried, burned, or otherwise disposed of at the project site. These disposal methods are regulated by various state regulations including Idaho’s Solid Waste Management Regulations and Standards, Rules and Regulations for Hazardous Waste, and Rules ---PAGE BREAK--- Response to Request for Comment August 24, 2020 Page 4 and Regulations for the Prevention of Air Pollution.  Water Quality Standards. Site activities must comply with the Idaho Water Quality Standards (IDAPA 58.01.02) regarding hazardous and deleterious-materials storage, disposal, or accumulation adjacent to or in the immediate vicinity of state waters (IDAPA 58.01.02.800); and the cleanup and reporting of oil-filled electrical equipment (IDAPA 58.01.02.849); hazardous materials (IDAPA 58.01.02.850); and used-oil and petroleum releases (IDAPA 58.01.02.851 and 852). Petroleum releases must be reported to DEQ in accordance with IDAPA 58.01.02.851.01 and 04. Hazardous material releases to state waters, or to land such that there is likelihood that it will enter state waters, must be reported to DEQ in accordance with IDAPA 58.01.02.850.  Ground Water Contamination. DEQ requests that this project comply with Idaho’s Ground Water Quality Rules (IDAPA 58.01.11), which states that “No person shall cause or allow the release, spilling, leaking, emission, discharge, escape, leaching, or disposal of a contaminant into the environment in a manner that causes a ground water quality standard to be exceeded, injures a beneficial use of ground water, or is not in accordance with a permit, consent order or applicable best management practice, best available method or best practical method.” For questions, contact Albert Crawshaw, Waste & Remediation Manager, at (208) 373-0550. 6. Additional Notes  If an underground storage tank (UST) or an aboveground storage tank (AST) is identified at the site, the site should be evaluated to determine whether the UST is regulated by DEQ. EPA regulates ASTs. UST and AST sites should be assessed to determine whether there is potential soil and ground water contamination. Please call DEQ at (208) 373-0550, or visit the DEQ website deq.idaho.gov/waste-mgmt-remediation/storage-tanks.aspx for assistance.  If applicable to this project, DEQ recommends that BMPs be implemented for any of the following conditions: wash water from cleaning vehicles, fertilizers and pesticides, animal facilities, composted waste, and ponds.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions. Opinions In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental and each major fund of the City of Star, Idaho, as of September 30, 2019, and the respective changes in financial position for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. ---PAGE BREAK--- 2 Other Matters Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the budgetary comparison information on pages 17 and 18 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. Management has omitted the management’s discussion and analysis that accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require to be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such missing information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. Our opinion on the basic financial statements is not affected by this missing information. Other Information Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City of Star, Idaho’s basic financial statements. The supplemental information is presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The supplemental information was derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the supplemental information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated July 30, 2020 on our consideration of the City of Star, Idaho’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City of Star, Idaho’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance Zwygart John & Associates, CPAs PLLC Nampa, Idaho July 30, 2020 ---PAGE BREAK--- City of Star, Idaho Statement of Net Position September 30, 2019 Governmental Activities Assets Current Assets: Cash and Cash Equivalents 3,523,933 $ Short Term Investments 311,094 Investment in Building 1,833,638 Receivables, Net: Property Taxes 19,275 Accounts 35,133 Interest 4,885 Other Receivables 38,728 Due From Other Governments 194,561 Total Current Assets 5,961,247 Capital Assets: Land and Construction in Progress 1,609,411 Building, Net 1,989,225 Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment, Net 147,553 Improvements, Net 1,974,410 Total Capital Assets 5,720,599 Total Assets 11,681,846 Liabilities Current Liabilities: Accounts Payable and Other Current Liabilities 322,133 Total Liabilities 322,133 Net Position Invested in Capital Assets, Net of Related Debt 5,720,599 Unrestricted (Deficit) Surplus 5,639,114 Total Net Position 11,359,713 $ The accompanying notes are an integral part of the financial statements. 3 ---PAGE BREAK--- Charges for Operating Capital Expenses Services and Sales Grants and Contributions Grants and Contributions Governmental Activities Primary Government: Governmental Activities: General Administrative 2,911,217 $ 2,586,160 8,972 $ - $ (316,085) $ Parks and Recreation 313,362 643,654 - - 330,292 Police 996,718 - - - (996,718) Total Governmental Activities 4,221,297 $ 3,229,814 $ 8,972 $ - $ (982,511) 1,162,963 746,971 176,581 29,549 2,116,064 1,133,553 10,226,160 11,359,713 $ Change in Net Position Net Position, Beginning of Year Net Position, End of Year Property Taxes State Sources Other Unrestricted Investment Earnings Total General Revenues and Special Items General Revenues: City of Star, Idaho Statement of Activities For the Year Ended September 30, 2019 Net (Expense) Revenue and Changes in Net Position - Program Revenues The accompanying notes are an integral part of the financial statements. 4 ---PAGE BREAK--- General Park Impact Fees Total Governmental Funds Assets Cash and Cash Equivalents 2,147,059 $ 1,376,874 $ 3,523,933 $ Short Term Investments 311,094 - 311,094 Investment in Building 1,833,638 - 1,833,638 Receivables, Net: Property Taxes 19,275 - 19,275 Accounts 35,133 - 35,133 Interest 4,885 - 4,885 Other Receivables 38,728 - 38,728 Due From Other Governments 194,561 - 194,561 Total Assets 4,584,373 $ 1,376,874 $ 5,961,247 $ Liabilities Accounts Payable 322,133 $ - $ 322,133 $ Total Liabilities 322,133 - 322,133 Deferred Inflows Unearned Revenue - Property Taxes 16,746 - 16,746 Total Deferred Inflows 16,746 - 16,746 Fund Balances Unassigned 4,245,494 1,376,874 5,622,368 Total Fund Balance 4,245,494 1,376,874 5,622,368 Total Liabilities, Deferred Inflows, and Fund Balances 4,584,373 $ 1,376,874 $ 5,961,247 $ City of Star, Idaho Balance Sheet - Governmental Funds September 30, 2019 The accompanying notes are an integral part of the financial statements. 5 ---PAGE BREAK--- Total Fund Balances - Governmental Funds 5,622,368 $ Land and Construction in Progress 1,609,411 $ Buildings, Net of $615,005 Accum.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A. Reporting Entity The accompanying financial statements present the activities of City of Star, Idaho (the City). The City receives funding from local, state, and federal government sources and must comply with all of the requirements of these funding source entities. However, the City is not included in any other governmental reporting entity as defined by generally accepted accounting principles. Board members are elected by the public and have decision-making authority, the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, and the primary accountability for fiscal matters. In addition, the City’s reporting entity does not contain any component units as defined in Governmental Accounting Standards. B. Basis of Presentation, Basis of Accounting Basis of Presentation Government-wide Statements: The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities display information about the financial activities of the City, except for fiduciary activities. Eliminations have been made to minimize the double counting of internal activities. Governmental activities generally are financed through taxes, intergovernmental revenues, and other non-exchange transactions The Statement of Activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for each function of the City’s governmental activities.  Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with a program or function and, therefore, are clearly identifiable to a particular function.  Indirect expenses - expenses of the general government related to the administration and support of the City’s programs, such as personnel and accounting (but not interest on long-term debt) - are allocated to programs based on their percentage of total primary government expenses. Interest expenses are allocated to the programs that manage the capital assets financed with long-term debt.  Program revenues include charges paid by the recipients of goods or services offered by the programs and grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular program. Revenues that are not classified as program revenues, including all taxes and state formula aid, are presented as general revenues. ---PAGE BREAK--- City of Star, Idaho Notes to Financial Statements For the Year Ended September 30, 2019 10 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Fund Financial Statements: The fund financial statements provide information about the City’s funds. The emphasis of fund financial statements is on major governmental funds, each displayed in a separate column. All remaining governmental funds would be aggregated and reported as nonmajor funds. However, the City only has two funds which are both major funds. The City reports the following major governmental funds:  General fund. This is the City’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the City, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.  Park Impact Fee fund. This fund accounts for impact fees collected for the city’s parks. Basis of Accounting The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred, regardless of when the related cash flows take place. Non-exchange transactions, in which the City receives value without directly giving equal value in return, include property taxes, grants, and donations. On an accrual basis, revenue from property taxes is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied. Revenue from grants and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied. Governmental funds are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized when measurable and available. The City considers all revenues reported in the governmental funds to be available if they are collected within sixty days after year-end. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for principal and interest on general long- term debt, and claims and judgments, which are recognized as expenditures to the extent they have matured. General capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Proceeds of general long-term liabilities and acquisitions under capital leases are reported as other financing sources. ---PAGE BREAK--- City of Star, Idaho Notes to Financial Statements For the Year Ended September 30, 2019 11 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Fund Balance Reporting in Governmental Funds Different measurement focuses and bases of accounting are used in the government-wide Statement of Net Position and in the governmental fund Balance Sheet. The City uses the following fund balance categories in the governmental fund financial statements:  Unassigned. Balances available for any purpose. The remaining fund balance classifications (nonspendable, restricted, committed, and assigned) are either not applicable or no formal policy has yet been established to be able to utilize such classifications of fund balance. However, if there had been committed funds, these amounts would have been decided by the City Council, the City’s highest level of decision-making authority, through a formal action. The City Council would also have the authority to assign funds or authorize another official to do so. Under the terms of grant agreements, the City funds certain programs by a combination of specific cost-reimbursement grants, categorical block grants, and general revenues. Thus, when program expenses are incurred, there are both restricted and unrestricted net assets/fund balance available to finance the program. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the government’s intent to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed. There is also no formal policy regarding the use of committed, assigned, or unassigned fund balances. However, it is the City’s intent that when an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which amounts in any of the unrestricted classifications of fund balance could be used, the City considers committed amounts to be reduced first, followed by assigned amounts, and then unassigned amounts. C. Assets and Liabilities Cash Equivalents The City requires all cash belonging to the City to be placed in custody of the Clerk. For presentation in the financial statements, investments in cash, external investment pool, and investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time they are purchased by the City are considered to be cash equivalents. Investments with an initial maturity of more than three months are reported as investments. See Note 2. ---PAGE BREAK--- City of Star, Idaho Notes to Financial Statements For the Year Ended September 30, 2019 12 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Accounts Receivable All receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts. As of September 30, 2019, there is no allowance for bad debt. Property Tax Calendar The City levies its real property taxes through the county in September of each year based upon the assessed valuation as of the previous July 1. Property taxes are due in two installments on December 20 and June 20 and are considered delinquent on January 1 and July 1, at which time the property is subject to lien. Capital Assets Capital assets are reported at actual or estimated historical cost based on appraisals or deflated current replacement cost. Contributed assets are reported at estimated fair value at the time received. Capitalization thresholds (the dollar value above which asset acquisitions are added to the capital asset accounts), depreciation methods, and estimated useful lives of capital assets reported in the government-wide statements are shown below: Capitalization Depreciation Estimated Policy Method Useful Life Buildings and Improvements $1,000 Straight-Line 5 – 40 Years Furniture, Fixtures, and Equip. $1,000 Straight-Line 5 – 15 Years The City has elected not to report major general infrastructure assets retroactively. Also, the City does not report roads and highways. The infrastructure is maintained and owned by Ada County Highway District (ACHD), a taxing entity. The City has no control over ACHD. Depreciation is used to allocate the actual or estimated historical cost of all capital assets over their estimated useful lives. Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. ---PAGE BREAK--- City of Star, Idaho Notes to Financial Statements For the Year Ended September 30, 2019 13 2. CASH AND INVESTMENTS Deposits As of September 30, 2019, the carrying amount of the City’s deposits was $1,924,682 and the respective bank balances totaled $1,992,755. All of the total bank balance was insured or collateralized with pooled securities held by the pledging institution in the name of the City. Custodial Credit Risk – Deposits Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the government’s deposits may not be returned. As of September 30, 2019, all of the City’s deposits were covered by the federal depository insurance or by collateral held by the City’s agent or pledging financial institution’s trust department or agent in the name of the City, and thus were not exposed to custodial credit risk. The City does not have a formal policy limiting its exposure to custodial credit risk. The City also had $100 of cash on hand at the end of the year. Custodial Credit Risk – Investments Custodial credit risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its obligations. The City does not have a formal policy limiting its custodial credit risk for investments. Interest Rate Risk The City does not have a formal policy limiting investment maturities that would help manage its exposure to fair value losses from increasing interest rates. Investments The City voluntarily participates in the State of Idaho Investment Pool which is not rated. The pool is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other regulatory body. Oversight of the pool is with the State Treasurer, and Idaho Code defines allowable investments. The fair value of the City’s investment in the pool is the same as the value of the pool shares. The City follows Idaho Statute that outlines qualifying investment options as follows: Idaho Code authorizes the City to invest any available funds in obligations issued or guaranteed by the United States Treasury, the State of Idaho, local Idaho municipalities and taxing districts, the Farm Credit System, or Idaho public corporations, as well as time deposit accounts and repurchase agreements. ---PAGE BREAK--- City of Star, Idaho Notes to Financial Statements For the Year Ended September 30, 2019 14 1.

INVESTMENT IN BUILDING In January 2019 the City of Star assisted Star Fire District in purchasing a new building for the fire station with the understanding that Star Fire would repay the amount invested plus interest equal to the amount paid by Idaho State Investment Pool. The amount invested by the City of Star is $1,800,000. It is the intent of Star Fire to repay this investment within 12 months. 3. DUE FROM OTHER GOVERNMENTAL UNITS Amounts due from other governmental units (State of Idaho) consist of state revenue sharing of $194,561. 4. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS Vacation leave is granted to all regular City employees. In the event of termination, an employee is reimbursed for accumulated vacation leave. However, vacation leave does not accumulate beyond year-end. Employees must use it or lose it. ---PAGE BREAK--- City of Star, Idaho Notes to Financial Statements For the Year Ended September 30, 2019 15 5. PROPERTY TAXES The City receives tax revenue from Ada County and Canyon County. The County is responsible for property valuation and collection of tax levies. The taxes that have not been remitted to the City by the County as of September 30, 2019, are considered by the City as a receivable. Taxes not collected within 60 days after September 30, 2019 , are not considered available for use by the City and are recorded as deferred revenue in the fund financial statements. 6.

Commercial insurance policies are purchased to transfer the risk of loss for property and content damage, employee torts, and professional liabilities. 8. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN (457) Permanent employees of the City may participate in a deferred compensation plan adopted under the provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 457 (Deferred Compensation Plans with Respect to Service for State and Local Governments). Employees are eligible for the 457 plan after six months of employment at which time the City will contribute $375 per month per full time employee and part-time employees $188. Under the plan, employees may elect to defer a portion of their salaries and avoid paying taxes on the deferred portion until withdrawal at a later date. The deferred compensation amount is not available for withdrawal by employees until termination, retirement, death, or unforeseeable emergency. The City has no liability for losses under the plan but it does have the obligation of due care in selecting the third-party administrator.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City of Star, Idaho’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City of Star, Idaho’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City of Star, Idaho’s internal control. A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or, significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified. ---PAGE BREAK--- 24 Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City of Star, Idaho’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. Purpose of this Report The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

INTRODUCTION TRANSMITTAL LETTER August 21, 2020 Mr. Shawn L. Nickel City Planner and Zoning Administrator for Star Idaho 10769 W. State Street Star, ID 83669 Subject: Request for Proposal for Professional Services “South of the River” Sub Area Plan Dear Mr. Nickel, Logan Simpson is pleased to submit our proposal to the City of Star for Professional Services “South of the River” Sub Area Plan. Logan Simpson is a planning, urban design, and environmental firm. Founded in 1990, we are celebrating 30 years of Guiding Re­ sponsible Change in communities across the mountain west in with extensive experience in Idaho’s fastest-growing communities and the Treasure Valley. With more than 100 staff specializing in planning, urban design, public engagement, and environmental resources, Logan Simpson has upwards of 250 comprehensive, master, and subarea plans in our portfolio and over 50 awards for our work, primarily through staff based in Colorado and Utah with offices in Boise, Tempe, Tucson, Flagstaff, Reno, Fort Collins, and Salt Lake City. Logan Simpson understands the relationships between the elements that create a sense of place and the social fabric of a com­ munity, resulting in comprehensive and sub area plans that are realistic, implementable, and represent the desires of the commu­ nity. Our work is not focused on meeting generic requirements of Comprehensive Plans, but instead on character based master planning that builds on existing community values and assets, creating resilient economies through the creation of vibrant places that draw visitors and business owners, harmoniously engaging cities and downtowns with their surrounding natural environment, and demonstrating planning depth that ensures successful implementation. This has been demonstrated by not only the unani­ mous adoption of all of our plans in Idaho, but also by the immediate transition from the Comprehensive Plan to implementation. Our successful work with Ada County Code, Meridian Comprehensive Plan, Corridor Plan, and Transportation Plan, and our current work on the Fields Sub Area Plan and Town Center, directly abutting the South of the River sub area, gives us a unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities Star is beginning to face. We know that residents and the community value Treasure Valley, their agricultural land and heritage, we understand that this area will change. This plan is an opportunity for Star to set it’s own path in the region; one that we feel should be unique from adjacent communities. We understand that vibrancy does not have to follow density, and some of the most successful economic centers can be achieved through embracing their natural environment, connectivity, and context-sensitive design. This unique perspective allows us to deliver a subarea plan that would represent the desires of both our leadership and our community and create a unique community in the Treasure Valley. Logan Simpson has successfully implemented comprehensive plans and subarea plans across Idaho including Sandpoint, Twin Falls, McCall, Valley County, Meridian, Ada County, Teton County, Victor, Driggs, and Federal lands such as Crater of the Moon Na­ tional Monument and Preserve and Idaho National Laboratories and has appropriate licenses to preform these services in Idaho. We acknowledge that if awarded the contract, we accept complete responsibility for the entire contract. The Logan Simpson Team provides the appropriate skill sets that Star is looking for including: • A team working on the adjacent municipal subarea plan and town center providing the opportunity for coordination, integration, distinct market niches, connectivity, and a regional perspective • A team consisting of Logan Simpson for planning and design, Leland for market and implementation, and Kittleson for transpor­ tation. All team members are familiar with, and have current work and active data associated with the Treasure Valley and this immediate subarea • A team focused on village, nontraditional/contemporary neighborhood design that integrates agriculture and the natural envi­ ronment to create a village feel • A team with work directly associated with development on waterways in the west including the San Antonio River Walk and associated drainage • A team familiar with new types of retail development that is reliant on the creation of a sense of place regional draw rather than density ---PAGE BREAK--- LOGAN SIMPSON PROPOSAL FOR THE SOUTH OF THE RIVER SUB-AREA PLAN STAR, IDAHO 3 L O G A N S I M P S O N 2.

Founded September 4th 1990, we are cele­ brating 30 years of Guiding Responsible Change in communities across the mountain west with extensive experience in Idaho’s fastest-growing communities and the Treasure Valley. The firm is owned by seven principals including Bruce M, who is assigned to this project to ensure its successful completion. Logan Simpson has professional liability coverage for up to two million per claim and four million aggregate. With more than 100 staff specializing in planning, urban design, public engagement, and environmental resources, Logan Simpson has upwards of 250 comprehensive, master, and subarea plans in our portfolio and over 50 awards for our work, primarily through staff based in Colorado and Utah with offices in Boise, Tempe, Tucson, Flagstaff, Reno, Fort Collins, and Salt Lake City. The key staff outlined in Section 3 have the capacity to complete this project in the City’s time-frame and are supported by a staff exceed­ ing 100. Additional staff specialization includes restoration, park and trail design, land planning, entitlement, master planning, transportation, economic development, development code and design guidelines, environmental and cultural services, and permit­ ting.

The Fields Subarea presents an incredible opportu­ nity to support desired development patterns featuring a central mixed-use activity center surrounded by varied residential densities and connected by thoughtfully designed roads, trails, and paths. This detailed process includes a subarea plan, stakeholder, and public engagement, a detailed conceptual plan for a mixed- use activity center, and a strategic implementation guide. The subarea plan will provide a higher level of detail than the Com­ prehensive Plan could, with specific detail for development at Star Road and McMillan Road. Three additional areas are being looked at as part of this analysis to ensure land uses support the Star/ McMillan mixed-use activity area, and not detract or compete with the focus area, and highlight disallowed or discouraged uses within those areas. The Orlando metropolitan area, struggling with implications of sprawling, suburban and rural development, and lacking any strong employment base or economic development strategy, realized the need for a new vision with a smarter approach to growth. The County has worked with the Logan Simpson team to prepare 4 subarea plans over 300,000 acres of central Flor­ ida. These plans focus on a small-block network, a mixed-use development code, specific place types, fine grain roads, and regional connections. Each subarea plan consists of a defined building program that is directly linked to market conditions. The building program emphasized the right sizing of retail and civic spaces. Key components of the plans included open spac­ es that served multiple functions including wildlife, retention/ detention, greenways and blueways. These open space areas were adopted at the time of the subareas plans, making it one of the largest land dedications in the country. Logan Simpson negotiated the first development agreement with Tavistock, who focuses on base industry associated with health and medical.

With approxi­ mately 1,500 acres of vacant land, Mountain Vista was project­ ed to accommodate a significant portion of Fort Collins’ future growth in the form of new mixed-used neighborhoods. The area’s fixed growth area is ringed by a community open space separator and includes a system of parks and greenways. The plan buffered Budweiser’s primary production facilities, expand­ ed needed industrial lands, incorporated a large town center, provided a regional interchange, included city-wide detention facilities reduce flooding, and incorporated a gridded trans­ portation system and an enhanced travel corridor connected directly to Old Town Fort Collins with future fixed route transit. The plan ensured a balance building program for the area and for the City as a whole. Our work with Mountain Vista continued in 2015 with an Urban and Rural Program Evaluation and Agriculture and Housing Overlay. The agriculture overlay is currently being implemented with special attention to flood plain issues. In a proactive effort to shape one of the most important growth areas of the City, Logan Simpson conducted an update of the land use plan to reflect current market conditions and create an environment supportive of growth, quality of life, and economic sustainability. The vision and goals will be updated based on West Henderson’s greatest opportunities. West Henderson is a notable gateway to Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area, and provides many amenities for visitors to the NCA. The update made recommendations for the expansion and improvement of gateway features, services, and viewsheds that respect the City’s role in the tourism and visitor comfort. Parkland, trails, and open space areas were incorporated with the land uses and the transportation infrastructure to provide a protected natural landscape that is beneficial to residents and integrated with Sloan Canyon. ---PAGE BREAK--- PROPOSAL FOR THE SOUTH OF THE RIVER SUB-AREA PLAN STAR, IDAHO LOGAN SIMPSON 8 Resilient Economy Through Resilient Economy Through Creation of Vibrant Places Creation of Vibrant Places “OVER 20 YEARS AND SITTING ON TWO PREVIOUS AND THIS CURRENT MASTER PLAN COMMITTEE FOR THE CITY OF LOVELAND, ‘CREATE LOVELAND’ IS THE BEST PLAN WE HAVE COMPLETED SO FAR.

The plan provides both policy and physical improvement recommendations, with a focus on revitalization and eco­ nomic vitality of the corridor for the next 20 years. A key component of the plan was the identification of catalyst sites along the corridor. Conceptual bird’s eye perspective sketches of these catalyst projects were developed, providing city leaders an exciting vision for how these sites could transition over time, attract private investment, and improve the overall image and character of the corridor. A market study prepared by Economic & Planning Systems identified economic opportunities along the corridor, and informed the develop­ ment of the catalyst sites.

The Plan recognized the need to move forward with diversification of housing types and focused on economic health and employ­ ment opportunities, specifically right-sizing commercial hubs, and allowing for more flexibility in mixed-use and residential land uses to sustain vibrant and resilient commercial areas. While drafting policy language, the team identified components of the Plan that would require implementation actions affecting the Land Use Code. By writing the Comprehensive Plan update and code review in tandem, the Town’s planning and devel­ opment strategies and objectives were developed alongside regulatory tools. ---PAGE BREAK--- LOGAN SIMPSON PROPOSAL FOR THE SOUTH OF THE RIVER SUB-AREA PLAN STAR, IDAHO 11 L O G A N S I M P S O N MCCALL DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, HOUSING PLAN, TRANSPORTATION PLAN VANCOUVER, WA WATERFRONT MASTER PLAN AND DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY Relevance: Larger initiatives included the doubling of the down­ town URA and the passing of a local improvement district to fund the reconstruction of downtown.

It included components of traditional downtown master plans while developing recommendations through economic and cultural influence. Following completion of the Downtown Master Plan, the City of McCall retained Logan Simpson to complete a series of related and ongoing plans, including the Comprehensive and Transportation Plan Update, Workforce Housing Study, and Development Code Review. Cherished by generations of year- round residents for its scenic beauty and the unique quality of life, McCall is a prime destination for seasonal residents and visitors. Though McCall has adequate land to satisfy the high demand for growth, the need to protect neighborhoods, green space, and natural assets constrains the City’s growth potential and requires careful thought about how the community wants to take advantage of each opportunity for change.

The work began with market and financial analysis, site planning, conceptual building design, cost estimation, and due diligence regarding zoning and the regulatory environment for the near-term development of office, hotel, parking, and retail uses, with office and hotel development being the lead land uses. Following the Port’s internal adoption of a Waterfront Master Plan in 2015, LCG began to work with the Port on recruiting and negotiating with hotel and mixed-use developers. LCG led preparation of two developer RFQs and worked with the Port to select two preferred development partners: Vesta Hospitality, who plans to build a new, 160+ room AC (Marriott) Hotel on the site, and Holland Partner Group, who proposed to build new office, retail, and housing. LCG continued to work with the Port on ground lease negotiations for the hotel project, and a lease was signed by both parties in 2017. ---PAGE BREAK--- PROPOSAL FOR THE SOUTH OF THE RIVER SUB-AREA PLAN STAR, IDAHO LOGAN SIMPSON 12 Engaging the River and Natural Environment Constructed Westside Creeks Walk (Post-Plan) “WE’VE BEEN DOING CREEK CLEANUPS FOR YEARS.

San Antonio’s west side has been built-out for several decades, and the creeks traverse many historic and active neighborhoods. The Westside Creeks Restoration Project identified restoration regimes, flood acquisition strategies, neighborhood redevelopment and sustainability concept designs for Alazán, Apache, Martínez and San Pedro Creeks, offering design alternatives and community enhancement to these areas which were channelized by the U.S Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) during the 1960s. Based on our plan, different treatments were done for each of the five rivers aimed at creating community centers, respecting the culture, providing transportation, and flood management. For example, in San Pedro Creek, one of the first implementation items completed after the master plan was a cultural park [by a separate contractor] which included formalized riverwalks, and am­ phitheater, art work, and flood control measures that allowed human interaction.

The area contains a rich, eclectic mix of industry, breweries, historic neighborhoods, access to the Poudre River, open space, and regional trail systems. Woodward Governor recently chose the corridor for their new 6,000-employee world headquarters, in part because Lincoln Avenue would consist of a unique street design. As an emerging district adjacent to Old Town, Lincoln is envisioned as one of the next great places in Fort Collins. The Lincoln Corridor Plan provided specific recommendations on extensive street and bridge enhancements; incorporates best practices for street design including bioswales and permeable pavements; provides multi-modal access for bicyclists, motor­ ist, trucks, pedestrians, and transit users; includes pedestrian amenities and gathering areas; establishes a cohesive identity for the corridor; recommends implementation strategies for funding and phasing; and prioritizes improvement projects. Logan Simpson worked with the Flood Control District of Maricopa County (Arizona) to develop the Best Practices for Alternative Flood Hazard Mitigation Measures guide, which has recently been recognized as an award-winning project by the Arizona APA. The guide is designed to educate and regional stakeholders about collaborative, environmentally sensitive, and fiscally responsible solutions that can be used to reduce flood risks. The guide contains 29 case studies from around the United States where nonstructural flood hazard mitigation techniques have been successfully applied. The case studies are consis­ tently organized to help educate the reader about the core concepts, program background, benefits, barriers, and funding sources of each solution. Each case study outlines how the techniques used apply to Maricopa County and includes contact information for the professionals who developed and/or are im­ plementing each program. Logan Simpson is currently working on the city of Buckeyes wildlife corridor handbook which inte­ grates wildlife corridors, flood control, and development as well as the flood control plan for the entire Sun Valley in Phoenix. ---PAGE BREAK--- PROPOSAL FOR THE SOUTH OF THE RIVER SUB-AREA PLAN STAR, IDAHO LOGAN SIMPSON 16 Planning Depth that Ensures Successful Implementation ---PAGE BREAK--- LOGAN SIMPSON PROPOSAL FOR THE SOUTH OF THE RIVER SUB-AREA PLAN STAR, IDAHO 17 L O G A N S I M P S O N MyMeridian Comprehensive Plan and subsequent Fields Subarea Plan, Idaho Connect Fort Morgan Comprehensive Plan, Colorado “Fort Morgan Farm II” Conceptual Master Plan, Fort Morgan, Colorado John Lambert Subdivision Master Plan, Douglas, Wyoming West Side Creeks Restoration Project and Conceptual Plan, San Antonio Texas Town of Mills Comprehensive Plan, Mills, Wyoming Flood Control District, Maricopa County, Arizona Mountain Vista Subarea Plan, Fort Collins, Colorado Mead Comprehensive Plan and subsequent Transportation Master Plan, Colorado West Henderson Land Use Plan Update and subsequent Inspirada Town Center, Nevada Northeast District Conceptual Master Plan, Concept Plan, and Development Review and Facilitation including the Tavistock Development, Osceola County, Florida Seven Trails Master Plan and Town Center Development Plan, Douglas, Wyoming Douglas Comprehensive Plan, Wyoming Comprehensive and Downtown Plan Updates, Johnstown, Colorado McCall Downtown Master Plan Update; Comprehensive Plan and Transportation Plan Updates; and Workforce Housing Study, Idaho Strategic Housing + Planning Initiatives, Page, Arizona Jackson Growth Management Plan, Wyoming Generation Casper Comprehensive Plan, Wyoming Big Sky Resort Area District Visioning Strategy, Montana Twin Falls Comprehensive Plan Update with Downtown Redevelopment focus, Idaho Look Out, La Vista Comprehensive Plan Update with creation of downtown, Nebraska Lincoln Corridor Strategic Plan, Fort Collins, Colorado Create Loveland Comprehensive Plan, US 287 Corridor Strategic Plan, and subsequent Zoning Code Update, Colorado South Jordan General Plan, Utah The River Bottoms Vision, Spanish Fork, Utah Little Valley Master Plan and Sustainability Modeling for Little Valley and Soldier Flats, Kennecott Land/Salt Lake City, Utah Oquirrh Lake Master Plan, Kennecott Land/Salt Lake City, Utah Southwest Redevelopment Area/US 60 Redevelopment Plan, Mesa, Arizona Commercial Centers Land Use Evaluation and Code Language, Osceola County, Florida W192 Streetscape and Building Design Guidelines, Sign Code, and Land Use Code, Osceola County, Florida Guidebook for Developing Mixed-Use Districts, Osceola County, Florida North Ranch Long-Term Master Plan, Osceola County, Florida Narcoossee Community Plan and Context-Sensitive Code and District Street Standard Guidance: A Planner’s Guidance Document, Osceola County, Florida ---PAGE BREAK--- PROPOSAL FOR THE SOUTH OF THE RIVER SUB-AREA PLAN STAR, IDAHO LOGAN SIMPSON 18 3.

APPROACH Logan Simpson has assisted a number of communities in adjusting plans to realistically transition from a primari­ ly residential community to a complete community with viable, right-sized retail, residential that fits the charac­ ter of the community, and vibrant placemaking features associated with natural areas. Regionally, these efforts can be demonstrated by the transition of Twin Falls into an agricultural production and recreation mecca; Meridian’s transition to an employment center and a high quality of life community, recently listed as one of the top ten places in the nation to live by Money Magazine; Sandpoint and its vibrant aerospace industry located within a quality of life town; and lastly, McCall’s expansion and reinvention that followed their comprehensive, housing, transportation, and downtown plans. The combined planning efforts in McCall resulted in several new funding sources including a 200% increase of their URA and a new LID funding source. Imple­ mented improvements include a creative reconstruction of downtown, completed this year; new commercial business­ es and affordable housing projects; complete streets; new natural resources pathways; recreation along the lake­ front; and other several other projects have been recently proposed. These same types of efforts are possible in Star through the South of the River Sub-Area Plan. As the City transitions from a residential community to a quality of life-focused community, integrating the River and Downtown Star through new pathways, boardwalks, pedestrian bridges, retention ponds and LID features, and commercial and recreation amenities integrated into the natural environment in a resilient fashion that acknowl­ edges the floodway will be key. The plan will acknowledge that building intense residential density should not be the goal, but rather creating residential development that enhances the area’s unique character and can pay homage to traditional villages and towns, or even newer concepts related to sustainability such as agri-towns. Creating a unique character in this area, including riverfront develop­ ment, will permit people to live in an appropriate housing developments while ensuring this is a regional destination not reliant on households, but on placemaking. The plan recognizes that traffic congestion detracts from the quality of life of current and future residents, which is an issue throughout the Treasure Valley with some of the highest traffic volumes at key intersections in Idaho. Along arterials such as Chinden and Star, commercial develop­ ment and transportation have to be closely coordinated to achieve the highest possible quality of life. Existing land uses must also be recognized and respected, including Rendering of pedestrian bridge and commercial center along the Boise River and Star Road ---PAGE BREAK--- LOGAN SIMPSON PROPOSAL FOR THE SOUTH OF THE RIVER SUB-AREA PLAN STAR, IDAHO 23 L O G A N S I M P S O N locations such as BriarStone and other low-density sin­ gle-family neighborhoods. The plan will draw visitors into the center from the new interchange and existing traffic from Star and Chinden with an attractive retail and com­ mercial ground floor development with supporting residen­ tial development above and ample open space to connect visitors to the riverfront. The City of Star has experienced tremendous growth over the past decade and appears on the cusp of more in the coming years. While the City has some downtown-related development along State Street at Star Road, the combina­ tion of highway-level traffic volumes and limited expansion capacity make that location a poor fit for development of a desirable pedestrian-friendly commercial area. In contrast, the area south of the Boise River, also along Star Road, has a combination of property availability and scenic potential that make it a promising setting as a relocated hub for Star’s civic and visitor-oriented commercial activity. With the River as an aesthetic and atmospheric amenity and Star Road as a safer, more human scaled transportation spine, that area represents an opportunity for crafting an Idaho-flavored riverside gathering destination. Land radi­ ating out towards the south appears to have enough blank slate potential to accommodate additional rooftop devel­ opment to complete the “re-centering”. This project would involve gauging future market demand, exploring physical and regulatory barriers and opportuni­ ties, and reaching out to key stakeholders in the communi­ ty of property owners and likely developers. That analysis and outreach, combined with research of innovative river­ front development case studies, and a creative approach to site design will help explore such an idea’s feasibility and help move it towards a unique concrete catalyst project for Star and the surrounding region. Logan Simpson staff has reviewed the Phase I, Initial Con­ ceptual Planning scope of work and developed our method and means accordingly. The following approach will serve as our work plan by which we detail staffing, schedule, and fee. We look forward to the opportunity to refine this Method and Means with City staff in order to best meet the intent of the project. ---PAGE BREAK--- PROPOSAL FOR THE SOUTH OF THE RIVER SUB-AREA PLAN STAR, IDAHO LOGAN SIMPSON 24 PHASE 1 I INITIAL OUTREACH AND PUBLIC REVIEW I SEPTEMBER-NOVEMBER TASK 1: FACILITATE INITIAL OVERVIEW MEETING We will begin with an initial overview meeting, during which Logan Simpson staff will facilitate with City staff to: • Confirm scope and schedule and identify milestones; • Set up ongoing biweekly staff meetings to coordinate on project deadlines and expectations; • Refine objectives; • Gather additional data or contact info as needed, such as; • City-provided ALTA Survey or assessor’s parcel data, aerial photography, market research, traffic study, and environmen­ tal reports as noted in the RFP; • Any utility analysis and engineering already generated; • City-wide data, including schools; parks, recreation, and trails; open space; the level of service formulas; police and fire station locations and any changes to service radii; the level of service formulas; any additional information on targeted industries and business needs • Identify relevant plans, policies, and other documents to incorporate; • Develop a public participation plan to include high-tech and in person outreach methods including questionnaires, online meetings, and open houses • Review key case studies and character examples; • Determine appropriate base mapping level of detail and extents for the overall area; • Determine the final form of the plan; • Review of existing City Plans and development code; and • Facilitate a site visit. In addition, the consultant will conduct a review of the existing comprehensive plan, and code, identifying relevant goals and policies, and initially highlighting anything that may need to be changed by development and incorporation of the Sub-Area plan. Deliverable(s): Agenda, materials, attendance, and summary of the meeting; initial base maps and site findings; public participation plan preliminary plan outline, existing compre­ hensive plan and development code review and summary; and document mockup. TASK 2. DRAFT INITIAL CONCEPTS The team will also prepare a conceptual plan for a mixed-use activity area.

The sub-area plan will provide a focus on roughly 3.30 square miles of largely undeveloped land bounded by State Highways 44, 16 & 20-26 west to Can-Ada Road. The sub-area plan will provide the City with a tool to effectively and efficiently promote and shape positive growth, while creating opportunities to build upon and enhance the vibrant community fabric that is Star, Idaho. The sub-area plan will explore expansion of the city’s core, creating a community identity on both sides of the river and along current/future entry corridors and side streets, identify opportunities for development and re-investment in under-served areas and will provide a plan to address critical infrastructure needs. The sub-area plan will also address a need for a balanced mix of housing types as well as opportunities for redevelopment and infill properties. The City of Star is uniquely positioned, geographically, and is actively pursuing creation of its unique identity. It sits at the crossroads of Ada and Canyon Counties along State Highway 44 and has expanded its boundaries across both county lines, encompassing roughly 7 square miles. Access across the Boise River is currently limited and additional crossings will be explored, both for vehicles and pedestrians. And, building on the success of the City’s current River Walk, exploring opportunities to increase pedestrian connectivity and walkability will be vital components of the sub-area plan. The team of MAKERS, South Beck & Baird and Keller Associates will provide the City with the complete spectrum of services necessary to meet the project’s goals. All team members are licensed professionals in their respective states. MAKERS will utilize its planning and public outreach acumen to lead the South River Sub-area planning process and has assembled a team of local experts to pool their knowledge of the City of Star’s vision, processes, utilities and traffic concerns. South Beck & Baird, a Boise-based landscape architecture and land use planning firm will provide localized project management and face-to-face interaction with the community. Keller Associates, a Meridian-based multi- disciplinary engineering firm will provide their expertise in capital facilities planning and traffic planning. As a team, we are excited to work with community leaders, stakeholders, residents and business owners to formulate a plan to set the City of Star at the forefront of cohesive growth and community identity in the valley. MAKERS will oversee all project contractual obligations and we are confident that we can provide you with an efficient, personalized and responsive professional service. Sincerely, John Owen, AIA Principal Architect ---PAGE BREAK--- 3 BUSINESS SUMMARY PART 2 BACKGROUND & EXPERIENCE Legal Name: MAKERS Architecture and Urban Design, LLP Date of Establishment: 1972 Type of Entity: LLP Expertise: COMMUNITY + REGIONAL PLANNING Neighborhood, Subarea and Corridor Plans Downtown & Town Center Plans Regional and Environmental Plans Comprehensive Plans History & Ownership Structure: MAKERS Architecture and Urban Design is an award-winning architectural, planning and urban design firm providing services to clients throughout the Pacific Northwest and the United States.

We offer professional services to clients of all sizes. From local community design guidelines to large-scale master plans for U.S. Navy bases, we look at our plans and projects through a social equity lens, offer creative and effective facilitation and staff/public engagement, and include an implementation strategy tailored to the unique needs of our projects and clients. Subarea planning is one of MAKERS’ core services. Our subarea plans have been successful in achieving thriving communities, empowering voices who have been underserved, and building upon each community’s unique identity. They address a variety of issues through thoughtful facilitation and strategic analyses, including land use and community design, social equity, environmental enhancement, economic revitalization, affordability and displacement, historic preservation, transportation, integration of public facilities, and streetscape improvements. Over the recent decade, MAKERS has honed its public engagement tools to allow local community members an active, creative and meaningful role in the planning/design process. During the COVID 19 crisis, the firm has developed or incorporated several innovative tools to facility remote public engagement, and we expect these tools will be especially valuable on this project. Most relevant to Star’s city center, MAKERS has a long and demonstrated track record of successfully assisting emerging communities, town centers, and local districts achieving their goals in terms of economic vitality, livability and design quality. Examples of these successes include Wenatchees Riverfront, Chelan’s Downtown, Mill Creek Washington’s all new town center, and Boise’s Northbank/ Riverfront. For the special needs of this project, MAKERS has teamed with South Beck & Baird and Keller Associates to provide local support & expertise to the planning effort. Each local firm has collaboratively worked together on many types of projects over the past 25 years involving comprehensive planning and streetscape design, along with recreation and transportation planning. The depth of this local work allows both firms to bring a familiarity with the Treasure Valley and the City of Star itself, ensuring that the sub-area plan is based on local knowledge. Further, these two firms will continue well beyond the planning effort; they will be a part of the sub-area plan’s implementation well into the future. ---PAGE BREAK--- 5 PART 2 BACKGROUND & EXPERIENCE South Beck & Baird merged two landscape architecture and planning firms, each bringing over 30 years of local history & experience. Located in Boise, SBB now has over 90 years of combined staff experience. SBB has worked on projects throughout the Treasure Valley and across the pacific northwest and beyond. They specialize in landscape architecture, land use planning and recreational design services. Keller Associates is located in Meridian, with seven offices across Idaho, Oregon and Washington. Their first projects were for small towns throughout the west with big needs and small budgets. Keller Associates was founded in 1993 in Boise. They specialize in civil, electrical, and traffic engineering. Keller has a staff of over 120. Keller’s previous work with the City of Star and the Star Sewer & Water District’s master plan gives the team a leg up on ensuring continuity throughout the Sub-area planning process. MAKERS believes the knowledge gained from years of successful comprehensive planning, combined with our team’s depth and history with projects in and around the City of Star, will result in a “Heart of the City” sub-area plan that the City will be proud to adopt and implement. Local knowledge, along with past involvement in planning and recreation projects for the City of Star, will create efficiencies in time and cost, in gathering of pertinent planning, mapping, and design data for the formation of the sub-area plan. South Beck and Baird has developed many of the recreational features of Star and has a long history of recreational planning and greenbelt development along the Boise River, from Lucky Peak to to Eagle Island State Park. Keller Associates has helped to develop much of the floodplain, land use, and transportation mapping for Star and the surrounding regional connections. MAKERS will utilize this local expertise of the Boise River to create recreational development opportunities while minimizing impacts of floodway and floodplain areas to maximize economic and growth opportunities for the City of Star. Consideration to protecting the natural features and environments that are a key ingredient to the quality of life that makes living in this city so desirable will help maintain and improve public health long into the future. MAKERS believes the qualifications and knowledge of the planning team will achieve a plan integrating the economic, environmental, and recreational goals that will benefit the City of Star long into its future growth. ---PAGE BREAK--- 6 PART 2 BACKGROUND & EXPERIENCE Wenatchee Waterfront Plan CLIENT City of Wenatchee CONTACT Allison Williams, Executive Services Director, (509) 888-6216 MAKERS’ FEE $61,000 PROJECT DURATION 2002-2004 AWARD APA Honor WENATCHEE, WASHINGTON This award-winning plan was an ambitious effort to revitalize Wenatchee’s riverfront area. MAKERS and a group of subconsultants worked closely with City staff, the Chelan County PUD, business and property owners, applicable public agencies, and community groups throughout the process to develop a vision for the waterfront that is ambitious, yet realistic and implementable. Two major plan components were the development of a shoreline restoration plan and the creation of a new roadway providing access to waterfront sites. This new Riverside Drive prompted the development of a substantial mix of new residential and commercial development. Additionally, the plan identified several waterfront public access improvements, many of which have been constructed, including new trail sections and access roads, adding connections between neighborhoods, expanding nearby open space, incorporating environmental restoration, and adding a new boat dock. The project is being aggressively implemented through a combination of public improvements and private developments. While zoning changes and new design standards helped to spur some new residential development, the most critical implementation components have been the completion of Riverside Drive, and the under-grounding of the sewage treatment plant. Most recently, the ambitious Pybus Market and Sustainability Center with a new hotel has opened to enthusiastic reviews. To date, $1.5B has been invested with another $2.5B in the pipeline. New residential development. Pybus Market. New boat launch. ---PAGE BREAK--- 7 PART 2 BACKGROUND & EXPERIENCE As a follow up to the award-winning Citywide Vision Plan, MAKERS worked with City staff and stakeholders on a plan that emphasized preservation and enhancement of Duvall’s historic downtown. In order for the downtown to grow and thrive, however, the strategic concept underlying the plan was to strengthen the areas surrounding the Main Street core and integrate them into a more cohesive unit. The riverfront area presents a tremendous opportunity for Duvall, and the plan provides clear direction for how this area could evolve over time. As the City owns land in this area, the site plan below shows how new civic uses can be integrated with the circulation system and other downtown uses.

When this effort began, the community had already begun the planning of transportation and pedestrian improvements, started working on a parking strategy, established a main street program with a communication strategy, and studied measures to upgrade the historic bridge. MAKERS’ emphasis with this plan was to augment those efforts and integrate them into an effective revitalization strategy. In simplest terms, the strategy consisted of protecting and enhancing Chelan’s existing connecting assets such as parks, trails, and amenities for greater impact, addressing key issues such as parking and traffic movement that constrain economic opportunities, and reinforcing Chelan’s identity as a recreational destination and a great place to live. Additionally, the plan also proposed form-based regulations to shape new growth in accordance with the community’s vision and support the other measures. ---PAGE BREAK--- 10 PART 2 BACKGROUND & EXPERIENCE St. Luke’s Health System is the largest and only Idaho-owned not-for-profit healthcare system. Its Boise facility has existed for more than a century. The master plan was created to address campus project needs and planning through the year 2030. It assessed current facility capabilities and outlines future development and expansion of the Boise campus necessary to meet the growing needs of the community. The plan provided analysis of the surrounding properties with regard to transportation, utilities, pedestrian & bicycle circulation, parking, land use zoning, current uses and impacts to existing streetscapes. The master plan provided recommendations for addressing each analysis and is currently being implemented.

The project encompassed 672 acres of land, approximately 2.4 miles northeast of Eagle, Idaho. The location of this land is in the north foothills of Ada County, straddling the space between Boise and Eagle. SBB was specifically tasked with recreational planning for the overall planned community which included over 100 acres of open space including the existing Shadow Valley Golf Course. SBB also did all visual assessments as the property spanned a scenic highway corridor which involved: • Primary public view corridor from highway 55 • Existing vegetation types: native grassland mainly located on north slopes, shrub communities generally found in isolated patches, and riparian habitat where seasonal water is available. Much of the area has been disturbed by past grazing activity. • Special concern was taken with roadway design and site grading to allow better integration of proposed roadways and the existing terrain.

This study aimed to guide future infrastructure improvements in the corridor. Downtown Lewiston streets and utility infrastructure are aging and require reconstruction in the near future. The corridor study addressed all modes of transportation in the corridor (cars and trucks, transit, bicycles, and pedestrians). In addition, we incorporated streetscape needs (sidewalks, medians, lights, landscaping, and sidewalk furnishings) into the plan. Keller also analyzed four concepts for roadway circulation using a matrix evaluation tool. Lewiston Main & D Corridor Study I lewiston, id As the design professional, Keller Associates teamed with Sage Community Resources to complete Star’s downtown master plan which included pathway, beautification, streetscape, and marketing elements. The team met with the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) and Ada County Highway District (ACHD) regarding potential changes to state and local roadway cross-sections and configurations, including changing US 44 through downtown from a four lane roadway with parking to two lanes with a center turn lane, bike paths, and streetscape features with wide sidewalks, benches, decorative lighting, and tree planters. Renderings of multiple alternatives for three main transportation corridors in the downtown areas were developed and presented at open houses and public meetings.

In positioning emerging town centers for transformative development that creates real focal points for their communities, we have found that it is important to consider how the town fits within its regional context and ask questions such as: What can we do to make this place special and stand out from neighboring communities? What are the regional growth patterns and market-based development trends that we can leverage to the town’s advantage? What are the regionally scaled assets that we can leverage? How is the emerging downtown accessible from other areas? What land uses will best support the downtown’s vitality? Building on recent Comprehensive Plan work, we propose to review these questions on a sub-regional basis to maximize realistic community development opportunities. For example, Makers recent work for the City of Boise explored such a regional framework for growth in the City’s south east sector. While, this work is on a different scale than Star’s center, it illustrates that a sub-regional look helps to organize the planning framework, clarify opportunities and actions to focus development, and identifies key projects to connect and foster specific growth areas. Celebrate the river. The City has already made strides towards incorporating the River as a premier attraction and we propose to double down on that strategy, and we believe there are ample opportunities to do this. For example, a key infrastructure element might be to ensure excellent bicycle and pedestrian access across the river accompany any bridge improvements or maybe as part of the new utility line connections. Focus near-term energy through a sub area development strategy. The roughly four square mile sub area is too large to focus on all at once. One size will not fit all the diverse parts of Star’s sub area. Therefore, we propose to work with stakeholders to develop a framework that translates the basic concepts of the Comprehensive Plan into an implementation strategy that identifies key focal nodes where development can be fostered in the near term and directions for other parts of the sub area that maximize opportunities there. Such as strategy will identify the highest priority capital projects and development incentives. It will also identify where special guidelines or standards must be put in place to ensure, for example, that new development is pedestrian friendly, complements the Riverwalk, achieves a sense of place, etc. For example, Makers work as part of a consultant team on the North East Wenatchee development plan and environmental impact statement, identified the most likely place for a variety of development types, which led to the infrastructure investments now underway. PART 4 APPROACH The Port of Douglas County’s plan for North East Wenatchee identified infrastructure requirements to develop specific focal points in this large area. ---PAGE BREAK--- 23 PART 4 APPROACH Create a “sense of place”. Most of the sub area provides a blank slate for new development, While this is great in that it provides a variety of opportunities, it also requires coordinated civic action to shape the emerging center into a vibrant, and livable center. While we will take care to not create a “strait jacket” that discourages variety and creativity, a combination of street design and development guidelines can help to make the pieces of new development fit together to create a harmonious and functional downtown. As they say, “variety is the spice of life” and we will encourage a broad mix of uses with provisions that ensure compatibility. Creative and inclusive public engagement during COVID-19. While our team is noted for its active and meaningful public engagement in planning and design projects, the spread of the COVID-19 virus has made in-person charrettes and open houses difficult. Fortunately, we have developed on- line engagement tools to provide similar interactive engagement opportunities remotely. MAKERS’, with Rachel Miller leading these efforts, has been in the forefront of new methods and tools for engaging disadvantaged populations and incorporating on-line engagement, especially in the COVID-19 era. MAKERS has long been known for successful, hands-on public engagement efforts that have encouraged people to meaningfully and creatively participate in the planning process. Most recently, the firm has been able to translate these methods into on-line techniques, which will be most useful in the next six months. Duvall’s Downtown Riverfront plan illustrates how to enhance a sense of place. The MAKERS’ plan recommended traffic, pedestrian and bicycle improvements (including enhancements and connections to the Carnation Bicycle Trail along the river) plus streetscape improvements (design implemented by others) and design guidelines to create a regional attraction in a small town setting. With the development of a new library and several new businesses, it has also become a more complete center for community life. ---PAGE BREAK--- 24 proposed schedule Phase 1 Initial Outreach and Public Review, September 2020 – November 2020 Public Participation Reports/Updates, Ongoing Public Participation Plan, September/October 2020 Internal review of Goals and Policies for fitness, October 2020 Revised Goals and Policies for City review, Early November 2020 Preliminary Concept Plan for Public review and comment, November 2020 Revised codes for Public review, November 2020 Revised Future Land Use Map and ECAMP Map for Public review, November 2020 Preliminary text revisions for Public review and comment, November 2020 Final Goals and Policies for City Council review, Late November 2020 Phase 2 City Council Review, December 2020 – January 2021 Public Participation Reports/Updates, Ongoing Revised codes for City review, December 2020 Preliminary Concept Plan for City review, December 2020 Revised Future Land Use Map and ECAMP Map for City review, December 2020 CIP updates, December 2020 Preliminary text revisions for City review, December 2020 Phase 3 City Council Review and Adoption, February 2021 Public Participation Reports/Updates, Ongoing Final text revisions for City Council adoption, February 2021 Final codes for City Council adoption, February 2021 Final Concept Plan for City Council adoption, February 2021 Revised Future Land Use Map and ECAMP Map for City Council adoption, February 2021 PART 5 PROJECT SCHEDULE ---PAGE BREAK--- 25 Phase 1 – Initial Outreach and Public Review: $15,500 Estimated person hours: 140 Initial Public Outreach • Public participation Plan • Public Participation reports Goal and Policy Review & Revision Comprehensive Plan Review • Preliminary text revisions for public review Initial Code Review Initial Map Review and Revisions Project Management Phase 2 – Concept Plan Development: $38,400 Estimated person hours: 320 Concept Plan Development • Development of initial sub-area concept plan • Submit and review for public and city input • Revise and submit Preliminary Concept Plan Initial Capital Facilities Plan & Updates Investigate Potential Grants Project Management Public Participation, Reports & Upgrades (ongoing) Phase 3 – City Council Review and Adoption: $4,700 Estimated person hours: 40 Comprehensive Plan - Final Text Revisions for Council Adoption Final Codes for Council Adoption Final Map for Council Adoption • Future Land Use Map • ECAMP Map Capital Facilities Plan Final Sub-area Plan for Council Adoption Project Management Total Proposed Fee – “South of the River” Sub-Area Plan $58,600 Scope of Services Tasks: PART 6 PROPOSED COMPENSATION Cost Not to Exceed Cost Not to Exceed Cost Not to Exceed Cost Not to Exceed ---PAGE BREAK--- 26 PART 6 PROPOSED COMPENSATION Optional Services not included at this time, but can be performed by the planning team at an additional cost under separate contract, if requested.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: 8.2.3 Land Use Map Designations: Neighborhood Residential Suitable primarily for single family residential use. Densities in the majority of this land use area are to range from 3 units per acre to 5 units per acre. Densities not exceeding 1 to 2 units per acre are to be encouraged in areas of the floodplain, ridgeline developable areas, hillside developable areas, and where new residential lots are proposed adjacent to existing residential lots of one acre and larger where those existing larger lots are not likely to be subdivided in the future. 8.3 Goal: Encourage the development of a diverse community that provides a mix of land uses, housing types, and a variety of employment options, social and recreational opportunities, and where possible, an assortment of amenities within walking distance of residential development. 8.4 Objectives: • Implement the Land Use Map and associated policies as the official guide for development. • Manage urban sprawl in order to minimize costs of urban services and to protect rural areas. • Encourage land uses that are in harmony with existing resources, scenic areas, natural wildlife areas, and surrounding land uses. 8.5.3 Policies Related Mostly to the Urban Residential Planning Areas: A. The Neighborhood Residential Land Use is to encourage urban style development densities to limit urban sprawl. ---PAGE BREAK--- GARY SAUNDERS PROPERTY ANNEXATION/ZONING AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT– FILE # AZ-20-13/DA-20-15 7 B. Low densities within the Neighborhood Residential Land Use are to be designed within the floodplain, ridgeline developable areas, hillside developable areas and where new residential lots are proposed adjacent to existing residential lots of one acre and larger where 8.5.9 Additional Land Use Component Policies: • Encourage flexibility in site design and innovative land uses. • Work with Ada County Highway District (ACHD), Canyon Highway District #4 (CHD4), and Idaho Department of Transportation (ITD) for better coordination of roadway and access needs. • Support well-planned, pedestrian-friendly developments. • Dark sky provision should be adopted within the code to assure down style lighting in all developments and Star should consider joining the International Dark Sky Association. 18.4 Implementation Policies: E. Development Agreements allow the city to enter into a contract with a developer upon rezoning. The Development Agreement may provide the city and the developer with certain assurances regarding the proposed development upon rezoning. PROJECT OVERVIEW The applicant is requesting approval of an annexation and rezone application to change the zoning designation on 5.36 acres from Rural Urban Transitional Residential (RUT) to low density Neighborhood Residential This zoning district would allow for a maximum residential density of 2 dwelling units per acre. The property is currently serviceable with central sewer and water provided by Star Sewer and Water District. Two stub streets are provided to the property Cherry Grove Way & N. Greengate Way) and the property has access onto N. Wing Road with approximately 174 feet of frontage. The rezone request includes a development agreement that will address future density and development standards for any future subdivision plat that is submitted by the applicant. The applicant has submitted a conceptual site plan that shows a layout of 5 residential lots, or a density of 1.02 dwelling units per acre. It appears that the existing single-family dwelling will be retained along N. Wing Road and may be requested to be split from the remaining subdivision property as part of a future Property Division. Staff will recommend that the remaining parcel with the existing house be required to be part of the future preliminary plat or be required to provide sidewalk and landscaping through the one-time division depending on ACHD requirements along N. Wing Road. ---PAGE BREAK--- GARY SAUNDERS PROPERTY ANNEXATION/ZONING AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT– FILE # AZ-20-13/DA-20-15 8 A future preliminary plat will need to provide details regarding the following: • ACHD approval of N Wing Road Access and stub street/turn around requirements. • Landscape Plan – Street Trees, Buffer Landscaping • Streetlights • Fire District Approval. DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT Through the Development Agreement process, the applicant is proposing to work with the City to provide further insurances that the development will be built as presented and/or modified by the Council through the review process. Items that can be considered by the applicant and Council include the following: • Density; • Future Property Division and required improvements; • ITD Proportionate Share Fees; • Existing Home Parcel AGENCY RESPONSES Star Fire District August 31, 2020 HRM Pipeline September 04, 2020 PUBLIC RESPONSES No public responses received. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Based upon the information provided to staff in the applications and agency comments received to date, the proposed annexation and zoning request meets the requirements, standards and intent for development as they relate to the Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Code. The maximum allowed density of 2 dwelling units per acre up to 10 lots is within the range of 1-2 dwelling units per acre allowed in the Neighborhood Residential Comprehensive Plan designation and the (R-2) zoning designation. Staff is also supportive of the elimination of open space due to proposed future density. The Council should consider the entire record and testimony presented at their scheduled public hearing prior to rendering its decision on the matter. Should the Council vote to approve the applications, either as presented or with added or revised conditions of approval, Council shall direct staff to draft findings of fact and conclusions of law for the Council to consider at a future ---PAGE BREAK--- GARY SAUNDERS PROPERTY ANNEXATION/ZONING AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT– FILE # AZ-20-13/DA-20-15 9 date.
