Item J will be moved to the August 3rd budget hearing. Agenda Item 4) Presentation – COMPASS Fiscal Impact Tool Carl Miller of COMPASS presented the new Fiscal Impact Tool. This tool will help COMPASS and cities estimate public revenues and expenditures associated with land uses. The tool will also allow for the comparisons of alternate growth scenarios. Fiscal impacts taken into consideration are transportation, public education, public safety, emergency service and public parks. Scenarios can be run using different land uses, like single family residential versus high density multifamily developments. The suggestion is that the tool be used, and any suggestions be submitted to COMPASS. This is a tool that will need to be fed the local statistics and figures and will only be as good as the data put into it.

Mayor Chadwick opened the Public Hearing at 7:53 pm and read the rules governing the public hearing process. He asked the Council if anyone had any ex parte communication. No Council members had any ex parte communication. Mayor Chadwick turned the time over to Kevin Amar with Biltmore Construction and the RAMA Group. Kevin’s Address is 1580 W. Cayuse Way, Meridian, ID 83642. Rivermoor is on property that he has been working on for the last 7 or 8 years. This property was originally part of the Stonebriar Subdivision that was not developed. They want the entrance to be gated and private roads and to provide a true welcome to the community. The road will cross the Phyliss Canal. There is already a 10‐acre pond on the property. The proposed clubhouse will have a fitness facility, large gathering area, conference room and an active beach area. All ponds will be non‐motorized. Project is in the estate residential zone, calling for 1‐3 units per acre. They are proposing 1.92 unites per acre, developed in 5 phases. Community has 2.6 miles of walking paths. Access will be granted to the public land along the river that is not currently open today. 41% of project is open space, totaling almost 55 acres of open space. Large active open space in the community for walking, play etc. Both open and closed fences will be used in the development. All common areas will be open fence. Applicant has worked with the neighbors and feels that there is a good working relationship. Applicant met with the immediate neighbors 3 or 4 times. Project neighbors preferred ---PAGE BREAK--- STAR CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MINUTES City Hall ‐ 10769 W State Street, Star, Idaho Tuesday, July 20, 2021 7:00 PM Page 4 of 11 MH open style fence in the common areas, and closed fences in areas that are adjacent to Stonebriar. Applicant is extending Star Sewer and Water District services to the project down Joplin Road at a significant expense to the applicant that will provide dividends to the city. Stonebriar has a sewer system that is not up to par with DEQ standards. The extension will allow Stonebriar residents to connect to sewer and water. Project will contribute approximately $300K in improvements for the Idaho Transportation District, and additional improvements for Ada County Highway District. Applicant provided a list of items he is requesting/willing to meet to accommodate neighbors. 1. Side yard setbacks within the development to be 5’ consistent with Star R‐3 zoning 2. Front set back 15’ to the living area, 20’ to the garage 3. Side Yard setback on lots 19‐31 Block 1 to be 10’ 4. Rear yard setback on lots 19‐31 Block 1 to be 50’ 5. Private streets within the subdivision 6. Rivermoor Subdivision to be a gated community with private roads and main access point on Joplin Court. 7. Community must comply with Dark Sky ordinance, Applicant provided examples of the streetlights they would like to use, they are downward facing and consistent with what is currently be used throughout Star. 8. Fencing requirements a. Adjacent to common area Open Rail Fence, fence location to separate residential lots and common lots b. Adjacent to Stonebriar residential lots Solid 6’ Fence (lots 23‐31) c. Shared lot lines, Solid 6’ Fence 9. Limit access to Stonebriar Subdivision to emergency access only with no pedestrian access, Rivermoor to install an emergency gate as required by fire district 10. Abandon existing pedestrian and vehicular easements that the Rivermoor property currently has a right to in Stonebriar Subdivision other than required emergency vehicular access as required 11. Single story homes only on lots 19‐28 Block 1 12. All ponds within the subdivision to non‐motorized 13. Gravel extraction to be limited to no more than 5 years from the start of extraction 14. Rivermoor will install a new berm on lot 20 Block 1 that is similar in style and height to the existing berm located on lot 1 Block 1 Maximum height of berm to be 6 feet tall to match existing berm, the landscaping on the new berm will have similar density to the existing berm. Applicant intends to build both single‐ and two‐story homes. Gravel extraction would begin this winter. Would limit extraction to no longer than 5 years but hopes to be done in 1 year. Applicant stood for questions. ---PAGE BREAK--- STAR CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MINUTES City Hall ‐ 10769 W State Street, Star, Idaho Tuesday, July 20, 2021 7:00 PM Page 5 of 11 MH Chadwick asked about emergency access and what applicant planned to use. Plan is to use whatever the fire department allows or recommends. Keyes was happy applicant worked with neighbors on the Special Overlay area. Asked why the Postmaster approval letter was not part of the application packet. Applicant replied they have not received it yet from the Meridian Postmaster. Keyes asked if Mr. Lewis, who owns property neighboring the north of the applicants to the north would be granted access to prevent from being landlocked? Applicant responded yes. Keyes asked if there would be access to public land abutting the project? Applicant replied no, all roads in the community are private. Keyes asked for an easement so the public could have sportsman’s access to public lands. Applicant thinks that can be provided along Joplin. Keyes pointed out that the ACHD final report came out today and required a lot of improvements. Applicant will work with ACHD on the improvements including turn lanes on Joplin. Applicant will work with ITS and ACHD to coordinate improvements on Mystic Road and any street widening. Keyes asked how long the gravel extraction would take place? Applicant hopes no longer than a year but is requesting two years to complete. Keyes would like the applicant to agree that an 18 months’ time limit be included in the Development Agreement. Applicant would like the time frame to be two years. Keyes pointed out that there was only one entry and asked the applicant if they looked at a second entry on Joplin? Applicant said yes, they did. The entry they are creating has a median and is a large entry way. They intentionally created a single entry to foster a sense of community. Salmonsen asked about the private streets and why not public? Applicant is currently building in Moon Valley and liked the experience they have there. It provides exclusivity, some safety, and less traffic. Stonebriar is all private and they are trying to match that feel. Salmonsen asked about existing trees on the property and if they planned to preserve them? Applicant plans to preserve as many trees as they can, especially the larger ones. Salmonsen asked if there will be any changes to the existing ponds. Applicant says only if they need to make it deeper. Also plan to install docks and aerators. Salmonsen asked about fencing, and if the whole perimeter be open style or just along the neighbors. Applicant there would be open fencing along the pathways, common areas and back yards. Solid fencing would be installed between the homes for privacy. Nielsen asked about the conditions of approval and the R‐3 vs. R‐2 setbacks. Applicant stated Moon Valley setbacks that are 5 feet per story, this allows a larger home on smaller lots but does limit the choice of housing types with the larger setbacks. They could make larger lots, but that would lead to less open space. Nielsen wants 10‐foot setbacks, to avoid “stack and pack” feel. Would be willing to look at alternate setbacks to provide 15 feet between homes. Applicant believes the current amount of open space allows for the open feeling. Only 11% of properties do not have open space on them. Eagle forces the setbacks, and it calls for a smaller home on the same size lot. Nielsen stated that the Legacy subdivision has been able to make it work. He thinks that the small setbacks make it feel congested. Applicant asked if the lot was smaller than 72 feet could they have the 5‐foot setback and larger than 72 feet would have 10‐foot setbacks. Nielsen said no. ---PAGE BREAK--- STAR CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MINUTES City Hall ‐ 10769 W State Street, Star, Idaho Tuesday, July 20, 2021 7:00 PM Page 6 of 11 MH Salmonsen asked about the conditions for approval provided by the applicant. Stated that 19‐27 would be single story. Other documents show lots 19‐28. Applicant acknowledged lots 19‐28 will be single story. No more questions for the applicant. Public Testimony: John Garret – 6235 Syringa Ridge Drive Mr. Garret mentioned that a similar proposal was presented to the City Council years ago and it was denied. He says the project should be denied again. Roads cannot accept this traffic influx. He sees traffic backed up on Chinden and State Street. He asked about school busses, and his estimate of over 500 kids in the development, how will they get out? He feels it is too many homes, too many cars. Requested council deny the application. Gayle Garret – 6235 Syringa Ridge Drive She has lived all her life in Idaho and been in Star for 33 years. She is against the development. She lives in Star for the safety, small town feel and recreation. She feels 252 homes will remove the small country feel. Bikers and walkers will be at risk. Fears that the city’s attitude is forcing current residents to move to other locations. What plans exist for managing the traffic concerns? Requested that the application be denied, and that Star maintain the country feel that residents value. Kevin Brunk – 7795 N Stonebriar Lane Referred Council to a packet they received from Stonebriar residents. He will be referring to the maps they submitted. Stonebriar residents support the development, but applicant must agree to their conditions. The rural landscape will be gone with this development. Craig Groves created some access that goes across Stonebriar’s road. He wants an easement for emergency access and claims that the insurance for the development will require that. He says a property line adjustment needs to be done as part of Rivermoor is on the Stonebriar property. Stonebriar wants a property line adjustment so that none of their road is on Rivermoor property. Nielsen suggested that the items Mr. Brunk was discussing seemed to be private items between the two parties and not an issue for the Council or necessarily pertinent to the request before them tonight. Mayor Chadwick asked that the Council allow Mr. Brunk to continue. Mr. Brunk asked for a berm that would serve as a buffer between Rivermoor and Stonebriar. The berm would be on Rivermoor property and maintained by Rivermoor. Stonebriar will allow access for the maintenance. Irrigation water for the berm would be provided by Rivermoor. Mr. Brunk requested an indemnity agreement for emergency access from Rivermoor to Stonebriar. Mr. Brunk believes that five years of gravel extraction is too long, requests 18 months. ---PAGE BREAK--- STAR CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MINUTES City Hall ‐ 10769 W State Street, Star, Idaho Tuesday, July 20, 2021 7:00 PM Page 7 of 11 MH Nielsen asked why Stonebriar residents did not build a berm on their property instead of waiting for a new development to build it. Shawn Nickel noted the two open items are a landscape berm between the two properties and the hold harmless condition of the emergency access. Appears that everything else has been addressed by the builder. Shawn also pointed out that this is a Special Transition Overlay area, and the Council could require additional buffers as has been done previously. Keyes asked Mr. Brunk about the list the applicant provided and if he is willing to accommodate. Mr. Brunk wants an easement for the emergency access, the hold harmless agreement, the gravel extraction limited to 18 months and the berm to run the whole length of the property. Keyes asked about the proposed 6‐foot berm running along the length of the property. Stonebriar residents want it to be eight foot high with landscaping. Applicant’s Rebuttal: Applicant is willing to reduce the mining time from five years. Applicant currently owns part of Stonebriar’s road. He is willing to relinquish that, plus all pedestrian and vehicle access except emergency access. Applicant displayed pictures of the berms that are currently in place. Applicant wants to build a berm that matches existing landscape built within the last year. A fence would be built along Taylor and Ellison’s property, not a berm. Applicant will work on hold harmless and can be a CC&R item. The berm is nothing that will be enjoyed by Rivermoor, but they will be install and maintain it. The road along 16 is not an ITD access road, it is just for irrigation access for this property. Biggest positive is that Rivermoor is bringing sewer to them which is failing. It also allows them to split their lots. Rivermoor is building the homes and designing the development and will create the individual lot planning to include window placement, patio placement other controls for privacy. They can provide a master planned community that is unique to Star and the Valley. Keyes stated that everything is in pretty good shape with the neighbors except the berm and would like to see the issue resolved. Applicant states that he is meeting the requirements of the neighbors and in fact Mr. Taylor wanted a solid fence, and a berm where viable. Applicant says that as soon as he satisfies one ask, Stonebriar comes back with more questions. Applicant states that he is giving them everything they want, and the berm will look like what is there. Keyes asked if the applicant is providing a berm everywhere that one has been asked for. Applicant states that he is providing where it has been asked for. Applicant has created a bigger setback of 50 feet vs 30 feet in the rear. He is giving them more than what is required to. If they want a bigger berm, why didn’t they build it? Applicant showed on the map where the berm runs today for Stonebriar. Keyes asked if they would build an undulating berm of 6 to 8 feet high. Applicant said yes. Hershey asked how much distance is between Stonebriar homes and Rivermoor homes? Applicant brought up a map and showed the buffers of the berm, road and existing setbacks which are about 190 feet. ---PAGE BREAK--- STAR CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MINUTES City Hall ‐ 10769 W State Street, Star, Idaho Tuesday, July 20, 2021 7:00 PM Page 8 of 11 MH Nielsen asked how mature the landscaping was in the back of the Taylor home? Applicant said it is quite mature. Nielsen asked if they would be able to see the berm? Applicant said he has not been in the Taylor’s back yard to comment. Salmonsen asked where the school buses will go? Will they have access to the private roads? Applicant said he has not spoken with the bus company. Mayor Chadwick said that it depends on the year and the school district. Applicant addressed safety, the street is 20 feet wide with a median and then 20 feet plus sidewalks. It would be safe for children to wait for a bus. Keyes asked about a streetlight at the entrance to the subdivision. Applicant says if there is not one on the plan, they will put one there. Keyes asked staff which items from their list can put in the development agreement and which ones can’t. Keyes wants to put all but 5‐7 in the development agreement and wants the HOA to carry liability insurance. City Attorney Chris Yorgason said it would be hard to put that in the development agreement. Yorgason does not know what the insurance industry would cover or not cover. He is hesitant to put that as a mandated requirement for approval. Keyes asked if this can be made part of the CC&R’s and if feasible the requirements placed on the homeowners. Yorgason asked if it was feasible and cost $40k a year, and the homeowners refused to pay for it, then what? He is hesitant to put that as any kind of condition of approval. Applicant said if they can easily indemnify each other, they will find a solution. Nielson asked why the Council is even getting involved in this? There is nothing in our code or charter that requires this. Councilmember Keyes says they can agree to disagree on this. Mayor Chadwick closed public hearing. Council Deliberation Keyes wants to take items 1‐4 and 8‐14 and add them to the development agreement. He wants to limit the mining to 18 months from start of extraction. Berm to be undulating 6‐8 feet tall. He then said that the comp plan 8.2.3 that this meets the requirements for estate residential. But he wants to talk about clustering as there is more than 40% of open space. Nielsen says he does not see clustering he sees distribution. Keyes wants postmaster letter during the preliminary plat and not the final plat and wants public easement access along Highway 16 to the sportsman’s access, amend the condition of staff report #5 regarding ACHD to read “final report”, and add the installation of fiber conduit. Hershey thinks that this is not clustering. He looks at subdivisions that come in against another one and looks at borders. He says this is addressed very well. This is a gated community, and no one is going to enter ---PAGE BREAK--- STAR CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MINUTES City Hall ‐ 10769 W State Street, Star, Idaho Tuesday, July 20, 2021 7:00 PM Page 9 of 11 MH without an invitation. He says the setbacks proposed are ok and will only impact them and their neighbors. He is not as concerned with the single point of entry as the median will help mitigate that. Salmonsen does not believe this is clustering. She is ok with the setbacks and open space proposed. While it may not be for everyone, those moving in, will know exactly what they are getting. Item 11 needs to be updated to read lots 19‐28 will be single level homes. She is in favor of the development. Nielson believes Hershey and Salmonsen made reasonable arguments for setbacks. He is curious on the gravel extraction believes that two years is a good compromise. He is also good with the other conditions. Keyes moved for approval of Rivermoor Subdivision with the conditions listed. Nielsen seconded the motion. Voice vote indicated all members present signifying aye. Motion carried. Agenda Item 6E) Appointment of Steve Green to the ACHD Pedestrian Advisory Group. Keyes made a motion to approve the appointment of Steve Green to the ACHD Pedestrian Advisory Group. Salmonsen seconded the motion. Voice vote indicated all members present signifying aye; motion carried. Agenda Item 6F) Development Agreement Modification for Rivercreek Subdivision. Planning Director and Zoning Administrator Shawn Nickel explained the modification was for Section 2.5 Additional Requirements. The proposed change reads as follows.

It has been virtual for the last 18 months. It was at the COMPASS building, and she was able to see the facility. Hershey stated that all his committees are meeting next month, he will report at that time. Councilmember Nielsen did not have any updates. Mayor Chadwick worked hard to get Chief Clifford appointed as Ada County’s new Sheriff. Impact Fees for Canyon Highway District 4 should be on the August 3rd meeting for adoption. Staff is setting up meetings for him to meet with all agencies that work with Star to discuss growth capacities, limitations, and concerns. The city wants to get the most accurate information to help make the best decisions possible on future growth. The Committee of 9 meeting on Star’s area of impact had their first meeting today, the next one is in August. Middleton was there in force and Mayor Rule is on record stating he would follow the recommendations of the committee. He also likes the COMPASS tool and is excited to use it.
