City Council - Regular Meeting

Hello, welcome everyone. Excuse me for my delay. I had a meeting at 6.30 that only started at 10.10. So I had to try to round it off. I open the meeting here and we start with a moment of silence, followed by the meal of marriage. I swear allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic before which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with freedom and justice for all. Group 4, would you like to leave the list of attendees? Chorus, present, Ali Burton. Morales, present.

Nash, present.

Stay, present.

Will, present. Five, present. One, absent. The next point is the notary of the council meeting.

Madam Mayor, actually, before we go into that, to jump a little bit ahead. I suggest to set C26 to 2. Until a certain date of September 15, 2026, because of the lack of timely attachment of the required information on location. Ik ondersteun dit. Wilt u een voorstel indienen? Of is er algemene instemming? Ik heb een voorstel ingediend. Oké, prima. Grivier, wilt u de stemming afgaan? Corus? Ja. Morales? Ja. Nash?

Ja.

Stee? Ja. Willis? Ja. Iedereen voor? Het voorstel is aangenomen. Oké, en dan, mevrouw de burgemeester, stel ik voor om de notulen van de werksessie en de reguliere avondvergadering van 11 augustus 2026 goed te keuren. Second proposal. We have a proposal and a support. River. Chorus. Yes. Morales.

Yes.

Nash.

Yes.

Yes. Yes. Everyone for? The proposal has been accepted. Very good. We now have a lot of special matters. You are all in the room. I am very happy that you are here. We are going to convene the Youth Commission for Climate Action tonight. And that is why I will read the names for you who are here today. And when I read your name, I would like you to stand up so that you can be recognized. I want to say that over the years, since we have set up the Younger Committee for Climate Action, it has been very nice to hear from upcoming leaders in our community. So, young people in our community who have stepped forward to serve the city, who now cooperate with our city staff and various departments to carry out ideas that we can implement and to remind us as leaders of new things. Ik waardeer de inzet, de energie en de toewijding die jullie voor Boise tonen enorm en ik kijk ernaar uit om jullie betrokkenheid en werk dit jaar te zien bij ons klimaatteam en in de hele stad. So, before I call everyone to stand up, you'll get to hear something first. You're going to listen to the two co-chairmen of last year's committee, Xander Barnes and Charlotte Ming. Come on up, and Xander is also a member of our taskforce for e-mobility. I saw you at that meeting yesterday, so you're busy with a lot of things. I appreciate that a lot, and you can speak here at the microphone. Helemaal goed. Eh, deze. Oké, hallo iedereen. Ik ben Charlotte Ming.

En ik ben Xander Barnes.

En wij zijn de co-voorzitters van 2026 van de Youth Climate Action Council. We zijn zo enthousiast om te helpen leiden. We zijn zo enthousiast om deze inspirerende groep jongeren te leiden en elk lid aan te moedigen hun unieke individuele krachten bij te dragen aan een belangrijk doel. Yes, as council members of last year we closed our efforts with an end project in the outskirts of Boise, aimed at helping homeowners to protect their homes. As you know, Boise is getting warmer and our houses in the transition zone between nature and city are at an increasingly high risk of fire. That's why we worked together with the fire department of Boise to support them. We gave information to people and then helped to clean up areas to make them better defendable. In addition to our final project, we organized the annual Youth Climate Action, which emphasized the unique power of the Youth Guided Climate Action. This was the first year in which all our speakers were young people who collaborated with adults to discuss opportunities for young people's involvement in policy, financing and research. Our plenary speaker was the prominent young activist Rosy Clemens Koop, who was appointed as VNGRIKSE YUNGO coordinator to keep an eye on the input of young people in carbon markets and emission reductions. In addition, she is a grassroots youth organizer who leads climate strikes with students to plead for sustainable policy. Yes. After those great speakers, we had a networking event where we invited all kinds of local organizations to talk to the young people at the top and teach them about the local possibilities. After that, we ended with a... Time for the students to present their own projects and make a chance at the subsidies we allocated. Each school had a specific project that they presented to the rest of the schools. After that, we debated and recognized subsidy funds for the best projects. We have planned a productive year again and hope to complete this term with cooperation exercises to promote group synergy. Shortly after that, three divisions of the municipal council will share a potential climate issue on which we can take action. After we have chosen one point to tackle, we will collect a estimate of information, develop a reasonable solution and complete the term with our final project. Now that the federal support for climate action has changed, local action has become increasingly essential in promoting change. It is necessary to involve the inhabitants of Boise, especially the youth, in this important field of work, not only to guarantee a better city for future generations, but also to serve as an example for other cities in the country to stimulate their own efforts in the field of urban sustainability. We also want to congratulate the New Lighting on taking advantage of this brave role in this time of uncertainty around climate action. To end this round, we would like to thank Augie Gabrieli and Vinnie Wolf for their positive presence at all our meetings and for helping us as council to achieve our goals. And then of course a huge thank you to the mayor, Lauren M. Mellen, for making all this possible. And please, I also want to include the council here. They are also your biggest supporters. And tonight they will approve a subsidy for young people to do more climate work. At least, or I hope they approve it. If they don't do that, you can withdraw the thank you and only thank me. Is that it? Yes. Thank you very much. I really appreciate it. As everyone can see, I think, we have two great co-leaders for next year. EHM and that presentation, council member Halle-Berten and I were there. It was great. The work you did with the neighborhood association, the WOOI, and the volunteers' day for clean-up activities you had. Really very cool work to see. EHM, all the hours that went into learning about forest fires and the WOOI, but then also EHM, the time you spent with the neighborhood association and creating those clean-up opportunities. Thank you. Okay, now I'm going to read the names of our new council members. And so, if I ask, please stand up. And I want to ask everyone to keep the applause until I have named everyone. And then we will nominate you and applaud at that point. So first of all, Aksara. Oh, my apologies. I practiced on this. Aksara Natnarage. Sorry, Asara. Okay, Holly Bowing. Leland Rolf. Quinn Poskey. Bianca Hendershoot. Ulana Frenscher. Juda Drang-Schult. Lindsay A. Madsen. Kadan Ster. Zoe Watts, Charlemagne Klink, Rosie Heinz, and Belle Dickson. Did I have everyone? Very good. I want to thank you for your effort and that you are willing to take a seat in this committee. And thus, EHM, I ask unanimous consent for the appointment of all these members. Madam Mayor, I ask unanimous consent for the appointment of the Youth Climate Action Committee for a term of one year, ending on 30 August 2027. I support this proposal. Well, now, in the absence of objection, you are officially mentioned. Thank you very much and congratulations. Madam Mayor, I would also like to add a few words. Yes, everyone can sit down if you want. Feel free. Okay, I want to thank you all very much for your involvement in this way. The committees and work groups in the city are a great way to learn how decisions are made here and how you can influence the policy of the council and the mayor. Mrs. Mayor, a few more remarks. First of all, I would like to congratulate all the new people in this council.

Het is een hele grote stap en ik wil onze twee raadsvoorzitters feliciteren die het programma van vorig jaar hebben afgerond en nu de leiding nemen bij dit tweede traject. Het was erg interessant om als oud-brandweerman jullie vergadering bij te wonen en van jullie te leren waar jullie aan werkten, om vervolgens een paar maanden later de bosbranden in de Boise-Foothills en de enorme brand in Spokane te zien waarbij zoveel huizen verloren gingen. Het was een pijnlijke herinnering dat het werk van deze commissie niet alleen gaat over problemen voor de lange termijn. It is about solving the problems we have to deal with today, and some of the solutions you come up with are already valuable for our city and for other cities. So I want to thank you for the work you have done over the past year, and I think that the work you have done is something that we as council members can continue to promote when we look at our open spaces and fire prevention. And when we look at the chance of fires in our hills or surrounding areas that are also close to houses, then that already has an impact today and these are real problems we are facing. And to the newcomers I would like to say, I think it is exciting to serve in this council, that you can decide on which projects you are going to work on that solve the problems we have in the city today. And you may come up with solutions and ideas for those problems and get involved. En je leert meer, maar je leert ons en mij ook hoe jullie denken dat we die problemen moeten aanpakken. En ik geloof er heilig in dat ieder mens ergens een expert in is. En we hebben zoveel geluk wanneer jongeren betrokken zijn bij dit soort programma's en expertise kunnen delen die niemand van ons in de gemeenteraad of de burgemeester heeft. Het is een perspectief. Het zijn dingen die jullie in het verleden hebben ervaren. Het zijn dingen die jullie vandaag de dag ervaren die onze beslissingen mede vorm zullen geven op manieren die anders niet zouden gebeuren. Dus nogmaals, ik wil de mensen die hier al aan hebben gewerkt, bedanken. Dank aan de staf die dit leidt. En dank aan jullie allemaal voor jullie inzet, want het is echt een vorm van dienstverlening. Jullie dienen je gemeenschap en helpen ons problemen op te lossen waar we vandaag voor staan en in de toekomst mee te maken krijgen. En het is echt een grote zaak en ik ben erg benieuwd om jullie allemaal te horen. Excuus is ook dat we jullie sociale bijeenkomst hebben gemist. Ik geloof dat het om 5 uur op het terras was. We hadden uiteindelijk een andere vergadering en konden er niet bij zijn, maar we proberen wel betrokken te zijn bij deze gesprekken en ervoor te zorgen dat we zo betrokken mogelijk zijn, omdat die beslissingen uiteindelijk bij ons terechtkomen en we van jullie kunnen leren. Dank jullie wel.

Foruit dan maar. Nou, heel erg bedankt allemaal. Ik hoop dat jullie een geweldig jaar hebben. Ik zie jullie bij enkele van jullie vergaderingen. Ik zou zeggen, zet je schouders eronder. Maak volledig gebruik van deze kans en we waarderen alles wat jullie daar als onderdeel van teruggeven. Dus nog een fijne avond iedereen. All right, we're moving on to the hammer pieces. Madam Mayor, I request to approve the agenda. I support the proposal. We have a proposal and a support statement. I just want to point out resolution 36626. This is the subsidy I referred to when Sander was speaking. We have received a subsidy of $50,000 again for climate projects by young people and I believe this is the fourth year. This came from my invitation by Bloomberg Philanthropies to go to the climate conference in 2023. After that event they offered the cities that were present the opportunity to apply for subsidies for young people. And since then we have won a subsidy every year. I think it was a minimum of 50,000 and we may have had a year of 100,000 dollars. Dit is een subsidieprogramma voor jongeren van 15 tot 24 jaar in onze gemeenschap die voorstellen indienen en door de stad worden geselecteerd om ze uit te voeren. We hebben alles gezien, van gerecyclede kledingprojecten tot muurschilderingen door de hele stad. Ik vind het geweldig en zie graag dat jongeren zich inzetten. Ik wil Bloomberg Philanthropies en ons subsidieteam bedanken voor het blijven zoeken naar deze middelen. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Okay, thank you. We will now move on to the public hearing. As just mentioned, agenda point 1 has been set up at the beginning of the meeting. I am sure that everyone knows that CR 26-2 will take place on September 15. We will now move on to agenda point 2. CR 253. Jesse Leal is here on behalf of the city. And I see that Becky McKay is present, as well as Debra Nelson, both on behalf of the applicant. The neighborhood association. Kim and Timothy Strauss, welcome. Good to see you. You are here, so I will call you to the applicant. Are there any members of the audience who would like to make a statement? U, meneer, geweldig. Iemand online? Oké. Nadat we de buurtvereniging hebben gehoord, zal ik het woord geven aan het publiek. En meneer, u kunt naar voren komen om uw verklaring af te leggen. Daarna zullen we vragen stellen aan de staf en de aanvrager, en sluiten we af met de aanvrager. Ga uw gang. Goedenavond, mevrouw de burgemeester en raadsleden. Het punt voor u is C253 en SAP 2512. This is a request for redevelopment of about 8.65 hectares located on State Street 97-144 from R1A to R2 and a temporary development plan for a residential area consisting of 78 construction plots and 14 community plots of 18.9 hectares. The entire terrain is shown in red on the screen and the arced area on the screen is the location of the request for redevelopment. In memory, the municipal council voted against the redistribution and redistribution due to concerns about the traffic impact on the surrounding area, without the installation of a planned traffic light on the intersection of Merleen and State Street or other traffic regulations. In June, the council voted with a reconsideration of the proposal, since the applicant proposed new traffic regulations. Since then, the applicant has worked out plans with both on-site and off-site traffic regulations, as well as a phase plan. The first phase would consist of 24 single-family homes and 52 master houses. Phases 2 and 3 for the proposed multi-family homes would only begin when the planned redevelopment and traffic light are fully operational. An recommended approval requirement would require that the connection with Sloan Street be established in phase 2 instead of in phase 3, as shown now. In addition to linking the multi-family part of the development to the operation of traffic lights on states, other changes have been made to the terrain. The terrain section on the left is the original proposal and the section on the right shows the updates and proposed closure measures. De aanvrager stelt voor om het park of de Pikkelbalbaan te vervangen door een park met minder ingrijpende activiteiten en wil ook de toegangsweg naar Uthana aan de noordzijde verwijderen en vervangen door een noodtoegang en een voetpad om de directe verkeersdruk op Uthana Road te verminderen. Outside the field, the applicant has worked together with the ITD to maintain the left-hand side movement from Gardiner Lane to Status Street during the first phase of the project and will install a middle fence that is limited to the left-hand side as soon as the light on Status and Omar is operational. In addition, the applicant will lay the right-hand side line on Status Street and Gardiner and expand Gardiner Lane by 5 feet from Status Street to Leighton Street. Public comments have come in from the neighborhood association and other residents, as recorded in the package and reported on the screen. The concerns are about the general involvement in the consequences for nearby schools, traffic effects, subordinate infrastructure for vehicles and pedestrians, and requests to install traffic lights on State Street and Mare before or during the development. The school district has submitted comments stating that the developer must comply with all requirements. In addition, the proposed phase plan and the adjustments to take care of traffic by connecting the largest density to the operation of traffic lights on states, eliminating direct access to UNA Street or UNA Road, and working together with the ITD on the left-hand side and the extension of Gardner with Vijfvoet. With the recommended approval requirements, the planning team believes that the changes take away the original concerns of the council and advises approval. And I would like to answer any questions.

Good, it seems that there are no questions at the moment. Come forward. Welcome.

Oh, wait, did you have a question?

Oh dear, I didn't do that on purpose.

I thought someone else was watching.

Sorry, Deborah.

Sorry, Deb. Jesse, in this re-consultation request there is a requirement for a safe left-wing movement. What does a safe left-to-right movement look like? I don't know if I've seen that diagram, but is this a left-to-right movement in which you are allowed to drive on every lane of State Street? Or is this a movement that goes to the middle, after which you add a bit more safely? Has the ACD indicated what that safe left-to-right movement looks like? Madam Mayor, members of parliament, the original phase of the proposal would only be implemented on State Street at Phase 2 of the development, instead of Phase 1. So we keep the left end of Gardiner Lane open until Phase 2, when the intersection with traffic lights is established. So during Phase 1 there will be a left-hand option to State Street. And as far as that left-hand line is concerned, there is still some form of it. Because it is temporary, it becomes just a left-hand line in the middle of State Street where they drive up, right? No concrete blocks or anything like that that guide them further to add them to the lanes of State Street. Madam Mayor and members of parliament, as far as I know, the current left-hand line remains from Gardenaar, but the applicant may have more information about this. In order, Deb Konab. Good evening, mayor, members of the council. Deborah Nelson, 601 West Banich Street, here on behalf of the applicant. And with me is Becky McKay of Engineering Solutions. We are both available to answer your questions. We appreciate the work of the staff here and the elaborate report. We are also very grateful to the council for accepting the re-consultation request, so that we can be here tonight to present these updates. For a very short summary, we have received no negative feedback on the plan. We appreciate the broad support and the concerns that were expressed, mainly about the traffic impact on the surrounding area and the noise pollution of the planned pickleball track. We then also focused on addressing the concerns to support the plan where everyone was behind this location for all the reasons that are described in detail in the staff report. So, as Jesse has already summarized, I would like to take a look at what those updates look like. The changes that the team of the applicant has carried out to play a role in the care of the neighborhood residents and the council. It is really about the impact on the surrounding area. First of all, the phase that we have agreed upon in the re-evaluation request. We will only go through phase 1, the development of single-family homes and gentlemen's houses, and wait for phases 2 and 3 until traffic lights are on. This brings only 29% of the total traffic of the entire project with it. which causes a significantly smaller traffic impact on the surrounding road networks. In addition, the connection with Utana on the north side above in this DIA will be converted from a road access to an emergency exit with fences. There will be access for pedestrians and cyclists and there will be landscape design, but no more car traffic will be possible, which will make a big difference for the surrounding roads now that traffic is spread towards State Street. As stated, no pickleball field. There will be less intensive recreational provision. We will also expand Gardiner Lane. This takes the part between our extension of Leighton and State Street to improve the infrastructure around the project. And on State Street we will still install the right-hand road for traffic in the western direction. That was one of the demands of ITD for the start of the development. They wanted the middle curb to be built to limit left-hand traffic. They had originally asked to install it at the beginning of the project, but we worked together with ITD, as promised, and we received permission to make that improvement, so that we could temporarily switch from Gardener to State Street. When assessing that request, ITD carefully looked at the safety problems and specifically took into account the morning lights at the entrance and exit points of the State Street corridor. They focused on the morning lights because of the expectation that people there would more often turn left towards the centre for their work. They looked at those figures to determine whether they could support this as a suitable temporary solution. They want this to be executed before phase 2 can start. Which would also be the same with the traffic light, given our commitment and agreement that we will only continue with phase 2 when that signal is placed. De aanvrager is verantwoordelijk voor de financiering, hetzij door installatie of als het onderdeel is van een project met het MERS-signaal, dan door het financieren en opzijzetten van die middelen in een wegenfonds. We zullen ook Sloan Street aanleggen, net als Leten aan de Noordkant. Both connect to existing dead roads that were planned or already existed, and that was the reconstruction and the longer extension of it by the terrain, as seen from the beginning by ACD. And as far as the timing is concerned, we agree with the request of the staff to move that to phase 2 instead of phase 3, so that that connection comes into effect earlier and the direct connection offers the traffic light at Mer that will also come with phase 2. And finally, I would like to point out some other improvements and possibilities that this development brings with it, since it is about filling up this area. But in fact, we make sure that the construction of streets and paths through the project for connectivity that makes spread routes possible. Not only for the routes that we add through these homes, but also for the rest of the neighborhood. And that is why those internal connections are very valuable. And while we ensure our internal connections and the external impact on the streets, we will add traffic braking measures, both internally in Latent Street with a traffic braking island and with vertical narrowings, a funny way to say brakes, or comparable increased traffic brakes on Gardiner and Uta. So we are enthusiastic about carrying out these improvements. We know that the council was interested in extra investments in the streets in the area. So we can limit our impact by the way we introduce those rides to phase, but also by some of these extra improvements to the streets around us. We have worked together with both ACD and ITD and they agreed on these additional improvements. We fully agree with all approval requirements in the report of ACD, the approved letter of ITD and the approved report of the staff and I would now like to answer any questions you may have. Mrs. Mayor, I will bite the bullet. Let's see if there are any more. Good to see you, Deb. First of all, thank you for the effort to make access to UNA accessible only for emergencies and pedestrians. I think that was one of the most important considerations or concerns I had. It still pushed some of that traffic into that neighborhood. But I think it's great for everyone in the neighborhood to be able to keep it open for pedestrian traffic. A few questions about widening Gardener Lane. Can you give me a kind of explanation of those additions and the reasoning behind it for the project? Yes, mayor, council member Hiebeurten. The idea behind it was to improve the roads where we are going to lead the extra traffic. And so with that latent connection to State Street, there was a chance with available ground, even though that is not our premise. But with the available ground to expand that roadside. It is currently only 22 to 24 feet wide. And so with the available ground we can add five feet and make a better traffic corridor. You know, in the end, with redevelopment, it is expected that it will become even wider in the future. If those improvements continue with development on the other side or redevelopment opportunities in the future. But this was an extra width of the road, of which ACD thought that it would improve traffic conditions in that width. So in fact we are expanding to create some extra capacity. I mean that it is noted in the sideboard that there may be some vertical traffic braking measures or traffic bumps. And with the widening of the road, are there also trotters or is there an addition of any form of, you know, footpaths outside the road? What does the widening of the roads mean in terms of safety issues for some people who move into that area? Yes. Madam Mayor, Council Member He Burton, at the moment there is no trottoir available, but I believe that a separate bicycle path has been planned. Is that correct, Becky? Okay. Yes, I'll give you some more details if that's okay.

Becky McKay, Engineering Solutions, 1029 North Rosario, Business Address. Thank you, Madam Mayor, Council Member He Burton. So, on the west side of the Gardiner is the 27th TH Automotive, which is a brand new facility. They have expanded the west side of Gardiner Lane and put a loose trottoir on their side. In my conversations with Mindy Wallis at ACD, I asked her if we could install a trottoir band and stove within the existing open space. And she said that would be problematic for the district because they don't have enough space for the rainwater supply. And so her recommendation to me was to make it safer by adding five feet to it, since they have already widened it to the west. On the east side we can even widen five feet. And she said that we could place E.H.M. markings for pedestrians or cyclists, E.H.M., to create a corridor that was safe to get to the 12-foot-wide multifunctional path on State Street. But she didn't want me, E.H.M., to set up a big and proud wall, because then she said, then we send the drainage to private land and we can't afford that. So that was the limitation they set me up, but that would make the corridor from our entrance at Gardiner to the entrance of State Street much safer and more accessible and make various ways of transportation possible.

Okay, thank you for that answer. That is very useful.

Thank you. Madam Mayor, EHM, Becky, I'm sorry you just went to sit down, but I think I want to be sure that I understand what this adds and that I understand you well. EHM, so with this widening on Gardiner, this is a row of five feet that will have markings EHM, on the east side of Gardiner from the states. Madam Mayor, Council Member Corliss, yes. Mindy said that we could afford to expand it with 5 feet, which brings us to the smallest point at 29 feet, because they have already expanded it to the west. And then she said, we advise to add some markings for pedestrians and cyclists. They would agree with that. Great, thank you. Another question. EHM, regarding the traffic jams for EHM, Gardiner and Utana. EHM, can you describe where they will be located on Utana? So on Utana, in my discussions with ACD, they said that they have analyzed Utana and that an ACD project would be needed to... There are footpaths to be laid. Now there is an EHM, senior complex that is on the north side, on the northeast corner of Old Highway 55 or Horseshoe Bend Road and Utana. They have EHM, it looks like a trottoir of at least 7 feet that runs all around their facility and then stops the trottoir. As far as traffic braking measures are concerned, EHM said that we have to coordinate that with the traffic service to determine where appropriate traffic braking measures should be installed.

Great, so they will come, but they have not yet been chosen and will be decided in consultation. It is a yes, Madam Mayor, EHM, Council Member Corliss, it is a requirement for approval. EHM, I think number 10 in the ACD report that we are taking care of traffic jams along Utana and Gardiner Lane. EHM, and that will be based on the advice of the traffic services of ACD, together with the input of the aid services of Boise City. Great.

But we will pay for those improvements.

Thank you, Becky, appreciate it. Anything else? Further? Foruit. Oei, ga je? Ben je nog bezig? Dank je.

Oh, geweldig. Oké, meneer Strauss, u vertegenwoordigt de buurtvereniging, toch? Kom maar naar voren. Mevrouw de burgemeester, raadsleden. EHM. Ik heb niet echt de kans gehad om alle verbeteringen te bekijken en ik waardeer wat jullie hebben gedaan met het Uthana-gebied, maar er zijn andere dingen, weet je, het is een fietspad. EHM, we hebben veel, vanwege de seniore-appartementen aan het einde van Uthana, veel mensen in gemotoriseerde rolstoelen en dergelijke, en er zijn daar geen trottoirs. Ze moeten op straat op Utaana rijden. NEHM. Dus hoewel het niet uitkomt op Utaana, is er nog steeds de mogelijkheid dat ze naar het noorden gaan op Gardenaar en westwaarts op Utaana. And the other thing I wanted to emphasize is, and they did mention traffic-intensive measures implemented by the Metlak district, but all of these streets have parking space on the street. Every street has parking space on the side, which diminishes, even though the street may be 9 meters wide. If you take parking space of 2.5 meters on both sides, that is not very wide. And so if you get the run-up of a potential 1,200 or more rides a day, you're done. Placing an Albertson parking lot in those streets. NEHM. So I still have a problem with why this was a corporate law. I have a problem with why it is a company. And let's be honest, an apartment complex is a company. Why can't they use the existing business entrance of that building? EHM told us earlier that the developer had never even asked for an exit from Bonnybroek, from the Bronze Witty project. We have a copy of the letter they sent us, EHM. In which it said that the developer had never asked for it and we had asked several times for a copy of the rejection letter from the ITD. Never received one. EHM. So? I appreciate the things that have been done. The only other remark I'm going to add here is that I know there was resistance from the developers of both buildings there, the Bunnybrook and the one next to it in the east. EHM has to pay for the redevelopment of Merdanken. En mijn gedachte daarover is dat het de ontwikkelaars zijn die zorgen voor u het extra verkeer dat zal vragen om verkeersregeling zoals dat. Ik zie geen reden waarom een ontwikkelaar niet zou moeten betalen voor u een deel van die verbeteringen. Oem. Dus. Ik denk daarmee, oh, en die linksafslag van Gardiner naar Staten Street. I recently sat on the bike on Gardener and saw vehicles wait 5 to 8 minutes before they could make that left turn at all. And it was also no traffic of 5 o'clock in the afternoon. It was around half past five. Because I had to go home for an appointment for another appointment. So I knew I knew it was late and that I had to be back. So you M. My wife is going to speak as a citizen and you we have at least another gentleman and that gentleman is one of those users of an electric wheelchair, so I'm done. Well, and Tim, I appreciate that. And I wanted to suggest, if it's easier for you to testify, maybe you can walk backwards with that microphone. Do you see that microphone there on the table?

This one? Yes, I think if you turn it on, you can bring it to him. He can testify from there if you want. Yes, please. Yes. Yes.

I think your hat is great. It may be a reference that I don't understand and don't do, but I think it's very funny. Oh, it's a sequel. The country.

First of all, sir, are you Mr. Fitz, George Fitz?

Yes.

Great, I have your address, so you can just share your testimony. Oh, can you hear me? Yes.

Okay. I've been living there for about 35 years. In the same place. And what we don't need in Utana is more traffic. And I went to the corner of Eagle and the old Porsche Bent Road, and I go there in my cart, sit there while I drink my cup of coffee, and ... I kept an eye on traffic. And it's getting a little bit, but as soon as the light turns green, it continues to flow. So I don't see any problems with traffic on State Street there. But on Jana. Coming from Gardener, if you turn right towards the city. You go through a residential area to get out on another road that just goes to Hill Road and there is no traffic light. If you go the other way on Jana, you go to Winco and there are no traffic lights. And that is the old highway. And I just don't see any reason for your traffic on Mu. Not at all. Because anyway, there is no traffic light on both sides. Ik heb gevraagd om een stoplicht daar bij de weg naar. Uw winkel, zo'n 20 of 10 jaar geleden, en ze zeiden dat het in het 5-jaren-plan stond en dat was, zoals ik al zei, 10 jaar geleden. Dus ik zie ze daar geen licht plaatsen als er slechts 300 meter verderop al een licht is voor State Street. Apart from that. And if they install trottoirs. On both sides of Utana they will remove my pump house on one side. I just don't know. I can't imagine that there will be more traffic, but I think it is what it is. And thank you.

Thank you, George. I appreciate that, E.H.M. And I want to say, I mean, we're going to listen to, if you just want to pass the microphone, you're welcome to testify from there. This is somewhat unusual, but you're welcome. Or if you want to come forward to sit with us, that's also okay. That's also your own choice. My name is Anne Kouwer and I live on 10.332. Utana. I've been living there for 35 years and years with these people in their wheelchairs that go up and down the street. We have a lot of bikes, a lot of children on bikes. I sold my bike two weeks ago because I don't feel safe anymore to ride on it. We have a speed limit of 30 kilometers per hour. I don't think anyone can read through the street. We might have five cars that regularly keep up with the speed limit. The rest drives like crazy and I know how fast they go, simply because I have driven a truck for eleven and a half years. So I know and I know the dangers of it and if they allow more traffic on Utana, and the fact that they only place a gate for emergencies is fine, but people are not going to turn left at Gardener and wait. I have, I have removed my car, but when I was still driving, I was waiting forever to get off at State Street at Gardener. People who go to work turn right and go via Utana to get to the traffic light. So I just have the feeling that it is a big mistake. And why they can't place it at the original exit from Fronwitty to State Street, who knows? There are traffic lights everywhere in the city on every block. Dus waarom kunnen ze daar geen stoplicht plaatsen?

Maar dank u. Mevrouw de burgemeester.

Bedankt, Ann. Ja.

Is het Ann?

Ja.

Goed, Ann. Dank u. Ik zal ze nogmaals laten uitleggen waarom ze niet direct naar buiten gaan. Ze hebben dat in de vorige vergadering aangekaart, maar ik zal vragen of u dat nogmaals wilt inbrengen, zodat we dat gesprek kunnen voeren. Ik vermoed aangezien u daar woont en dit al vaker heeft gedaan, dat u Gardener oprijdt en dan afslaat naar Uthana, linksaf of rechtsaf.

Yes.

Yes. So when you drive up there and turn left or right, is there a stop sign on that intersection or is there no stop sign? I think there is no stop sign. It is one of those old roads where you, yes, take the risk. Have you run into problems with people? Is that a problem?

Not recently, no.

Not recently. Do you think that when there is extra traffic, you will experience more problems?

Ik denk het wel, ja.

Oké. Nog andere specifieke zorgen over Uthana, wetende dat we mogelijk wat, eigenlijk, laat me dat anders verwoorden. So, one of the things they try to do to tackle the speed problems is to place traffic jams in the street. Is that something you think would be useful?

Very certainly.

Okay, you think, yes, you think that would be useful now?

Yes, okay, and the faster the better.

Okay, great, forward. Are there other things you think would be useful if it continues and people would live who use these streets to tackle those safety concerns?

More police patrols.

Okay.

As far as I'm concerned, they are always allowed to stand on my ride.

Forward.

I mean, it's ridiculous how people race up and down there. People who let their dog out, small children on bikes behind their parents, some, and it's just not safe anymore.

Okay.

It's not, it's not the city I moved to 35 years ago.

Of course, forward.

And I would find it terrible to see that lost.

Okay, thank you.

Thank you. Well, and council member Halle-Berten, I appreciate that you ask these questions. We were both at the annual meeting of the neighborhood association last year when you shared some experiences about Utana. EHM, we indeed spoke to the police about that point. I know they have been there, but I appreciate that you indicate that extra visits are desired. Because that really stayed with us. And Kim, come forward. You can talk again if you want. Oh yes, if you want to press on it to turn it off, you can use the normal microphone. Great! My name is Kim Strauss, Utana Road 10348 and we have been living there for 35 years. EHM, my biggest concern after what I have heard is that the current proposal still leads traffic from the neighborhood via Gardener to the outside, towards the north to Utana, to drive away at the traffic light at Horseshoe Bend or State Street. If one of you from Gardiner wants to hit the status street on the left and Jordan, I appreciate your reaction to that, I never do that. That is not safe. Maybe in the middle of the night, but at any other moment of the day it is not safe to hit the left there unless there is a traffic light. E.H.M. and originally, when we were here the previous meeting, I thought that the proposal implied that the project developer would not let people live before all traffic adjustments were realized. E.H.M. I am of the opinion that the developer must be responsible for the infrastructure to make our neighborhood streets safe. And in essence they make Utana Road a parallel road for State Street. No matter how they change it, that's what's happening now. When we came to live there, Utana Road was dead on the east side. They have now pulled it through and hundreds of cars from the neighborhoods and apartments east of us are now driving down our street to get to WCO and Highway 55. And just keep going. EHM, there is already a lot of traffic through our street and this is only going to make it so much worse. As part of the bicycle path. Again, my husband and I are cycling and we have to be careful with traffic. If you place a traffic sign that calculates and indicates how fast people are driving, as they did on Eagle Road, you would be told how fast they are driving. Our street on the broadest point. It is 22 to 24 feet wide with people parking on the side and EHM, this new neighborhood, the streets there become 26 feet wide. So I don't know. Again, you said that you would let them explain why they cannot drive on State Street directly, in contrast to all other new enclosures and apartment complexes. Ew, Eagle Lakes has 250 units. They go to states, townhouses at Silo, 54 units. Sleepy Hollow, 44 units. You may make a note if you want. So, I kindly ask you to visit our neighborhood, sit on our street for a few minutes and see how the traffic problem is already and then to annoy with possibly 1200 vehicles per day extra. Look at the cyclists, like my husband did when he went outside, and see what this will mean for our old neighborhood. Mrs. Mayor, I have a... Well, first of all I want to say that I want to come and drink coffee with George and want to see how everyone tries to ride Horses Bend Road, okay? I appreciate the testimony and the feedback. Do you know the neighborhood or have you requested a speed test at the ACD? I have done that at least three times in writing. Ik heb met de commissarissen van Ada County gesproken. Ik heb gesproken met Ed Edson Edenson Bautista, die volgens mij aan het hoofd stond van iets met betrekking tot fietspaden. Ew, oké, dank u, bedankt, ja, ik bedoel, wij kunnen vanuit onze kant ook druk uitoefenen, dank u. Dank u, dank u, ja. In order, are there any further questions for the staff before we go to the lockpile? Oh, wait, sir, you are, are you here to testify? Okay, in order, we have already had everyone. Madam Mayor, I still have a question. Not for our people, but I don't know if we have the ACD online for this or not.

In order, maybe we'll try it with a question for the staff. So... Maybe you can't answer this, but I'll throw it in the group. We have a crossroad there at Gardener and Utana where there will certainly be more traffic. Someone will go that way. We don't know how many, but we can assume that people will drive that way. At this moment there is no stop sign on that intersection. So if people leave, they would just, you know, turn the road and then turn right. I wonder if we know where the intersection is where the ACD would demand a stop sign, or if this has been part of the conversation and the evaluation in this process. Ms. Mayor and Council Member Hieberten, that was not part of the conversation I had with ACD. Oum, I don't know exactly what their breaking point is, but I do know that there are often other traffic-intensive measures, such as parking, that can be sought. Oum, so I'm curious if that was a topic of conversation with the applicant. Great, thank you. S.A.

Correct. Anything else? Okay, come forward, yay!

And Mrs. Mayor, I would like to ask the applicant to discuss this if they know anything about conversations about that stop sign. Or the use of it. Mrs. Mayor, members of parliament, UM, we'll start there. Uh, no, the applicant did not have that in order in conversations with ACD about that improvement. So, I'm sorry we can't shed light on that. Oem, other comments that were made, you know, I appreciate that there will still be some extra rides on Utana, but UM will significantly reduce UM to not have that access point. And so the main concerns we hear from the neighborhood about UM extra rides on Utana. And so the removal of it, the change in emergency and pedestrian access, will be the main way in which we limit those consequences. Um, there were comments about whether we meet the ACD planning thresholds. We do that. That was confirmed in the ACD personnel report. Um, other comments we heard from the ACD during a UN meeting with them is that they have studied UTANA and the safety conditions there and that it is a priority for them to add a safe overpass for pedestrians at Old Horseshoe Bend Road. So that came into question in talks with the ACD. Oum, there were questions about why we did not continue to use the earlier access that was used by the company to State Street. The original U-plan that was presented to ITD by the developer was presented to UM in February 2025. Um, excuse me, you said February 2020. That's a long time ago. Uh, that's right. This was before the city added your plan. So, February 2020 indeed contained an access point to ITD. We added that as extra data for if you want to see what that location plan looked like, but it did have that. Oum, Becky and the team of the applicant have agreed with Sarah, Aaron and Janna from ITD to discuss that it does not meet the current EU-ITD standards for distance to borderless public roads in both directions. And so they were not behind it. There was no right of crossing that had to be maintained from the existing company, so that was something they would not honor there. E.H.M., council member Morales, you asked earlier about the safe left turn and I had not answered that question before. E.H.M. actually refers to the fact that there is a middle turn and that this part of State Street is expanded to five lanes. And that is considered a safe left turn when you have a middle turn as a stop for E.H.M. that turn. And the ITD has, as I already briefly mentioned, E-H-M, carefully looked at how those rides look during the morning rush hour, E-H-M, and concluded that, based on the E-H-M traffic studies on what those morning rides would be like when leaving the road during the morning rush hour and the expected distribution, E-H-M, there would be less than 10 rides left and right during that morning rush hour. And that's why they felt comfortable there. As with any access to provincial roads, they always look at accident data to see if there are any additional changes needed. EHM, and so they definitely had an eye for EHM safety conditions there. The improvements we are implementing along State Street include the 3.6 meter wide EHM separate bicycle path. We will have additional paths everywhere. We hope this will increase the mobility possibilities in the area. EHM and again consider that even the street network next to those footpaths will provide some extra spread and paths so that traffic can distribute. Let me see if I had anything else. I think that it is from our perspective regarding the reaction to the concerns of the residents. EHM, we appreciate their comments and EHM, we also support their efforts to work together with ACD on speed studies and all the other things that must happen in that area in the need of the entire community. Thank you, I am open to further questions that you may have.

Thank you, yes, Deb, I heard you answer the question on EHM. Council member, use the microphone, sorry.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, hey Deb, thank you very much. EHM, I heard you answer the question specifically on why there was no more traffic EHM, transferred to State Street. I just want to be sure that one of those concerns is directly answered. Madam Mayor, Council Member Williets, EHM, if you intend on what I just mentioned about the morning spits, the outgoing routes, that is really the moment when the ITD concentrated on making sure that they could agree with that temporary left-wing possibility. To be more specific, we looked at the number of routes that depart from the family homes and the city dwellings, because that is in fact everything that will make use of that temporary exit in phase 1. And that is another reason why it is very limited. We are talking about only 29% of the rides. And if you look at the distribution of what is planned to ride via Gardener, they assumed that this would lead to less than 10 rides in the morning. Does that answer your question? Thank you. Madam Mayor, I think we have talked about this before, but I would like to see if you can remind me of the timeline. So in 2020 there was a conversation with the ITD. At the time, they suggested that everyone should drive on the road and they said, no, that does not meet the standards. MHM. EHM, at that time, I think after that, the developer bought the two extra parcels so that there could be another access point. So you finally bought it after the ITD said, no, you are not allowed to use the status street. Is that right? That's right. And I'm looking at Becky for confirmation. So before that period between the moment you went to the ITD and the moment you bought those parcels, it was then an undeveloped parcel. The ITD says that there is no access to this parcel if it changes from a farm. I am trying to understand how you would not have access to your parcel if it was closed at that moment. Madam Mayor, Council Member Hallie Burton, we still had the dead-ending roads that connect to existing road networks. There was the road connection that was planned to Utana, which we have now removed. EHM, and there was other access here to be created. So they trust you to see if you have any other access to the public road, not via that provincial highway.

Okay, yes. Becky McKay, Engineering Solutions. Ms. Mayor, Council Member Hallie Burton. So, what the ITD said to us is that when there is a decision-making. Decision-making, yes.

Then?

Should the current connection on State Street be tested on the existing IDAPA standards? And under the current IDAPA standards we could not realize an upgrade on the basis of the existing Gardener situation and the more restructuring that would be provided in the future of traffic lights. So they said that they couldn't find any documents for access. It was a kind of historical access. It was created in the 70s, but we had a title company look through all the documents to see if there was anything, if they had bought a right of passage, had registered the ride or borrowed anything. So it was just a historical access. The fact that we have changed the use, of course, brought us back to AF. That's why the original buyer of the property, Mark Battles, bought the adjacent plot and... And we see a kind of transition in that area to Una and Gardiner, where they remove the single wide trailers, clean the grounds and build new one-family homes. So we see a bit of a transition in that area.

Great, yes, I appreciate the extra context.

We have put out every option.

Oh, I'm sure you have tried very hard to get a direct access to Statustreet there.

But if I can't meet the IDAPA standards, they can't deviate more than 10%. Great. A few other questions.

Deb may be able to answer them, but stay calm. So, just a moment about the faceting. So... When phase 1 is executed, the expansion project will have already taken place, including what we call a protected pedestrian and bicycle path. So that will be done in phase 1. That's right. And what about the other traffic braking measures that are here? The traffic brakes on Gardenaar and Utaana, in which phase do they fall? We know that. We plan this in phase 1 and work directly with ACD on that location. Yes, okay. And so? And the right-hand side of Statustreet to Gardiner. Okay, great. I think that's all my questions.

Thank you, thank you. Very good. With this I close the hearing and this is for the council. Mayor, we need a motion before we go into discussion.

I thought she would.

Okay, I'm going. Well, I'm having a hard time here. I would rather have a discussion first, but I assume that I will bring this to the fore. Is that so, Madam Mayor? I serve a motion to approve C25003. On 9744 State Street, resettlement of about 8.65 acres from R1A to R2. Second.

We have a motion and a second one. And just before the public discussion starts, the reason I give the preference to have a motion on the table for discussion is so that there is something concrete where people can talk about and what can change. You can submit a replacement motion, but we usually take a motion first before we start discussing and then they discuss it. And Mrs. Mayor, before that discussion starts, since this is about two different things, maybe we can combine the discussion for both. Oh, that's fine. Yes, yes.

Mrs. Mayor, E.H.M. Council, thank you very much. E.H.M., I appreciate that this is being presented to us again. E.H.M., as we said the last time, and I remember this in E.H.M. April, the design of the neighborhood is, E.H.M., it is a great design. E.H.M., we provide single-family homes, where there is a need, and a lot more family homes. E.H.M., for me, the strut block was always the Utana, because it is such an unbridled road and the traffic that would arise there. EHM no trottoirs, no lanes and the road is very narrow. With this new design we take that access EHM from Uta to Roadweg and make it a emergency access and I also believe a bicycle path. I also have some concern about looking at EHM, thinking that we will still see some rides, I think, from phase 1 and on from Gardenaar. E.H.M. towards the old E.H.M. highway and to those companies there. I appreciate E.H.M. the discussion of council member Halle Beurten about placing a stop sign there in any case. E.H.M. with the addition of traffic braking measures I feel better about this proposal and I think that we will see less fast-driving traffic on those roads. You can't just drive 40 miles per hour and fly out. Well, you can do it once, but your car will really get damaged with those road improvements. And that's why I feel very pleased. I appreciate that the developer has come up with these changes in cooperation with ITD, ACD and with their approvals, with the approval of our staff and the cooperation with them. I vote tonight to approve this project.

Madam Mayor, I appreciate the motion. E.H.M., I appreciate the things the developer has done to tackle some traffic safety problems. I do have some concerns about that, but I think you have addressed many of the main concerns to best power, largely given by the input we have heard from people who have come to speak and who have emailed in advance to the meetings. I really think that closing the exit directly to UNA will be a major improvement and will also provide more accessibility for people who walk or cycle in that area. I think that the traffic jams will make a difference, as will some of the other traffic braking measures. And the really big point where we have arrived in phase 2 is that connection with NE and the traffic light that will come in that area. And I think that will be a great gain for many people in that area. And what I imagine is going to happen is that people who live in Utana via Gardener will drive through the neighborhood and will drive to Narnay to be able to turn the street better. I would like to ask the developer and our employees to talk to ACD about a stop sign in Utana. Because I think that regardless. Regardless of what we think will happen, there will certainly be people who will go to Una, if they go to Windco, if they go to Home Depot, because I am very familiar with the area. I have been cycling a lot in that area lately because we work on a channel path in that area. So this is the way people would take. This is the way people would take if they went to Optimus Park. This is the way they would take if they went to one of the schools in the area. There will be people who drive by and it is probably a crossroad where it is no longer logical to have no stop sign. I don't know what it will be, will it be a four-way stop? Or, I take a three-way stop, is it a three-way stop? Is it a road stop? Do you know what that actually looks like? But something will have to happen to reduce some of the conflicts that take place there. So, and I also appreciate the expansion of Gardener. I have seen this quite often in South Boise, where they want to build trottoirs but wait for redevelopment. So they sometimes place protected bicycle paths that look like poles or even a stoop edge in areas where they do not face the same problems. It was great to have trottoirs there directly and I appreciate the effort to try that. I find this request strange because we have not seen many large projects that did not have a corner per se on the street. And if there was talk of a corner per sil, we would have a very different conversation, because we would then demand road improvements along the entire road. And I think this is what has triggered discussions about a kind of alternative regulation for traffic-intensive measures or trottoirs, in the event of projects that are not on one of these roads where we would normally demand improvements. And if you have to deal with particular landowners who do not allow you to improve, even if we would demand it, how can you invest in other areas with those shortages of trottoirs? So, now that many of those concerns have been answered and we have to discuss a few more things with ACD, I think this is a much better result than the first version and that it in any case removes a number of those concerns. Not all, but a number. And the last thing I want to say is that I want to encourage the residents and the neighborhood association to be really involved in the conversations about our master plan for footpaths. Because when another project in this area was approved, we obliged the developer to build a path along the spoilsbank channel there, that borders on Utana Street. So when we talk about the risks for pedestrians and cyclists, there are enormous chances here for the neighborhood to plead for a great place to walk and cycle that is not at all along the road. I think that's a good conversation that can contribute to addressing those concerns about cyclists and pedestrians. Madam Mayor, first of all, thank you for your presence. We now finally have a blue sky, so you could also be outside. So, I appreciate that you came in to testify, and I know for sure that part of what you were doing was in the smoke. So, thank you. It is always amazing for me to see how many Boisians love their city. It is inspiring to me. It is my favorite part of the council to just see people who take the time to talk about the place they belong, things they want to see changed, things they like and things they want to improve. I'm going to support the proposal, but I'm going to stand on my soapbox, because... I'm back in a Groundhog Day scenario. This is a ridiculous and pointless system. Again, people come to us when the city approves this project, with the most important objection being traffic, while the institution that can actually solve the traffic tax and the problem is on the other side of the city. This is unprotectable. And I just don't know how long we're going to tolerate this bureaucratic carousel. I think it's ridiculous. You know, they're doing their best, but this system is. Inefficient at its best and Kafkaian at its worst. This really has to change. And I'm really sorry to send people away to someone else when they come to us with their worries. Madam Mayor, thank you to the neighborhood residents who came and who were present throughout the whole process. It wasn't just this evening. It was on many other evenings not here, but also on other evenings here. I was absent when this first came to us. Ik had die week een neefje op bezoek, en dus ul, maar ik was erg geïnteresseerd hierin omdat ik de stukken had doorgelezen. En heel erg, en ik vind dat de Raad die avond goed werk heeft verricht door, ul, de voor- en nadelen te overwegen en het extra werk dat erin gestoken kon worden om dit acceptabeler te maken. Dus, ik wil de aanvragers bedanken voor uw het verzetten van dat werk en voor het komen naar ons met uw met enkele geweldige verbeteringen. Uh, as was reported, I think we got a bit of wind in the sails there on Utana. I think I will add something to the wish list that was started here tonight as far as the streets are concerned. EHM, but if I think of the driving behavior myself, uh, to drive up a busy road, I think our neighbors here tonight have illustrated how difficult that left turn is and we don't know how long it will take. EHM, but I think that a lot of good can be done to make that left turn more comfortable and it could be something, you know. We talked about road markings for a path this evening. E-H-M, but a kind of insertion stroke further on E-H-M that might help people to consider that left turn. You are already leaning to the left. It is not a straight, direct E-H-M-T split at this moment. E-H-M is able to manage two phases of insertion, right? First phase over the westward lane, the second phase a nice little insertion moment after accelerating, right? So, EHM, I am very curious if there can be some investment in that temporary solution to help people use these. EHM, to take some stress away from Utah. And then, you know, feedback boards for managers are good for some. Some people see them as, you know, trying to get high scores. But I think, EHM, those boards that show what your speed is and nod to you when you are a speed devil. EHM, you know, I also put that on my wish list. But I appreciate the planning team EHM during this process and the applicants who came to us with this great consideration and dedication. So, I will support this proposal.

I don't have much more to add. I, EHM, I'm going to support the proposal. I really appreciate the changes that have been made to the project. EHM and I think that this is a direct reflection of the involvement of the neighborhood. So, I appreciate that too. EHM, this all belongs to the process. It's not always nice, but I appreciate that everyone gets involved and cooperates EHM for a better project. And, EHM, I wonder if the staff might be able to make a request for a speed study in that street. Ik weet niet wanneer ze teruggaan naar de ACD, EHM. Ik heb gezien dat ze over het algemeen redelijk reageren op dat soort verzoeken. Dus, het spijt me te horen dat dit lastig is geweest en EHM misschien kan een bericht van onze kant helpen om de zaken in die richting te sturen. Ja, nogmaals bedankt. Foruit, een griffier, wilt u de stemming oproepen? Corus? Ja. Ali Burton?
