The City of McCall Community Development Department commissioned DES MAN Associates
to conduct a parking needs assessment of MMC"r's Central t and the aiimmitioreas. McCall is a destination mountain town that draws visitors to its many winter
and summer attractions and events, including Brundage Mountain Ski Resort in the winter and
Payette Lake in the summer. Parking rise is greatestiH'Th summe#when there is the heaviest
concentration of visitors and tourists. The last miaapreliensiw parking study of McCall's
downtown area was conducted in 41194. However, due to changing conditions and demands
coupled with the goals and objectives of the the4.04744aGereinikivettulierrirrehensiusePlan, the need
for an updated parking study is a priority to ensure economic development and quality urban
design. The Downtown Parking Study and Needs Assessment was funded by a IVICRI•Qption
Taa41.0()-'grant.
The McCall Area Comprehensive Plan determined that there is significant vacant land within
City limits. When developed, there will be an impact on the City's economy, character, and
livability. The goal of this study is to address the parking issues in order to create a vibrant
downtown, which incorporates smart growth and new urbanism principles. The City of McCall
and the iirmostemabgagiaviirwafimillieke, a volunteer citizen committee, is interested in exploring
minimum or no on-site parking requirement to ensure good urban form once the needs are
determined and an alternative parking system is established.

Summary of Parking Count Results
The City of McCall conducted the first parking counts on Wednesday, August 27, 2008 and
Saturday, August 30, 2008 in order to obtain weekday and weekend occupancy data during a
peak time of the year, during tourist season (Labor Day). It should be noted the weather was
rainy on the weekend the parking counts were taken. Parking counts were conducted at
110151ffirririrTintlf5tn on each da!!The results of the parking counts are shown in Table
2 for both on-street and off-street parking facilities. A complete breakdown of parking counts by
location for these days is provided as Appendix A of this report.
For comparison, parking counts were also conducted at various locations on Wednesday, June 3,
2009 and Saturday, June 6, 2009 in order to capture occupancy during "average", or non-peak
conditions. On June 6th, the McCall Home Show took place at the ice skating rink on Lake
Street, which is reflected in the 1:00pm counts on that day. Appendix B provides a complete
breakdown by location of these parking counts.
For the purpose of this report, occupancy numbers are taken from the August 2008 counts
because these counts revealed greater occupancy percentages and more parking locations were
included in these counts; thereby providing more detailed data.

applications and recommended factors to use to predict the daily, hourly and seasonal variations
for specific land uses.
The incorporation of a summary table showing the ULI's recommendations for these factors
should be included to assist developers and the City in evaluating shared parking proposals. The
factors in Table 15 are used to adjust the peak parking demand for different times of the day and

McCall:
1. 1e existing-min. This system requires new development to provide parking on-

When a paid parking program is introduced or when parking rates are increased in an existing

wWMng meters are installed. To allow parking customers to notice the meters with the idea they
soon be required to pay for on-street parking. Fliers can be placed on cars during this period
to explain the upcoming paid parking program, rates, benefits and contact information. The staff
members responsible for distributing fliers should also be available to act as ambassadors of the
parking program. After the introductory period, an additional one-week grace period will allow
customers to become familiar with the new meters and rules without penalty. During this period,
parking enforcement should issue warnings instead of parking citations.
Prior to implementation of the parking program, the City should notify the public and businesses
through various means such as print, radio, television and the City's website.
Estimated On-Street Parking Usage
With limited on-street data for downtown McCall, this study relied on the August on-street
parking count data to estimate the patronage for the peak month. The usage for the other months
was estimated based on the monthly hotel occupancy data from the 2007 McCall Area
Comprehensive Plan normalized for August as 100 percent. The monthly hotel occupancy data
is shown below and the estimated on-street parking usage by month is shown in Table 18.

Table 21: Estimated 5-Year Cost of Single-Space Parking Meters
Assuming there are no rate adjustments and the occupied hours per year remain the same, the
estimated five-year revenue would be $435,885. The generated revenue would pay for the single
space meter system in approximately two years.
The above expenses do not factor in the cost of parking enforcement or an automated ticket
issuance and management system for parking enforcement discussed in Section 8.
Opportunities for Increased On-Street Parking
Downtown McCall has limited opportunities for increasing the on-street parking supply. The
location where the right-of-way has sufficient width to permit angled parking on one or two sides
of the street would increase on-street parking opportunities. On-street angled parking is more
efficient than parallel parking, resulting in as much as a 100% increase in capacity for a
corresponding length of street. In most cases,the increase is usually less as you must account for
driveways, fire hydrants and other restrictions, which reduces spaces. Pedestrian safety is a
concern with front in angled parking.
For a two way street, the minimum curb to curb dimension for angled parking is 58 feet for two
11 foot wide driving lanes and angled parking on each side of the street. The overall right-of-
way also includes a sidewalk on both sides of the street. With angled parking the vehicle will
overhang the curb as much as two feet or more depending on the parking angle. McCall's
adopted road standards and McCall Area Comprehensive Plan (2007) requires a right-of-way
width of 80 feet for angled parking on both sides of the street. Figure 7 shows a street cross
section with an 80 foot ROW, two 10-11 foot travel lanes, angled parking on both sides of the
street and a 9-10 foot wide sidewalk on both sides of the street.

Ideal locations for angled parking are local or collector streets with low volume traffic. The
Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) does not allow angled parking on state routes, which

that warrants major snow clearing operations.
In the winter months, the City does not allow on-street parking between 3:00am and 7:00amtto
ensure streets can be cleared of snow with no obstructions. The Public Works Department
indicated the following snow removal issues need to be addressed:
• When clearing snow during the day, the angled parking on 2nd Street between Park and
Lake Streets creates too narrow of a road to safely clear snow.
• 4kaw,taurage areas should be created in every neighborhood.
• In the downtown area. many people clear snow from sidewalks by b' •snow oto

Wayfinding is an important tool to direct patrons to parking areas and to inform them of parking
regulations. A good wayfinding package ensures visitors can easily find their destination and
reduces the chance of people getting lost and frustrated. While minimizing the downtown
signage is a desire, additional wayfinding signage should be added to assist visitors to find the
public parking areas. Signs should be placed at key access points without disrupting the charm of
the city.
Wayfinding signs, like the example shown in Figure 11, must be both aesthetically pleasing and

technology. The latest generations of these devices are small lightweight (PDA style) machines
that each enforcement officer carries for automated ticket writing. Implementing handheld
ticket-writing technology greatly benefits a parking program for the following reasons:
• Improve productivity
• Provide a less labor intensive ticket issuing system
• City has the ability to identify areas where parking rules are more commonly broken.
• Track productivity of enforcement officers.
• Increase parking fine collection rates.
• Citation information is automatically transferred to the management database rather than
manually entered, saving labor and time.
• Identify vehicles that are routinely cited for parking violations.
Information for each vehicle issued a warning or citation is entered into the handheld device
resulting in a warning or citation being dispensed automatically. At the end of each patrol shift,
each officer downloads their device into a personal computer. This information is then assigned
the correct owners' names based on the license plate numbers recorded, and for any unpaid

citations, late notices are generated by the system on predetermined dates from the initial date of
issuance.
This tediknoitur allows for enforcement..o## s,to-track how manymounimphigmfikiiiiiii
vehirie has been issued. to the event a citation is issued only after a vehicle has received a pre-
determined number of warnings, the handheld can notify the officer as to how many times the
vehicle has been previously cited so that appropriate action can be taken.
This technology will allow the City of McCall to accurately track individuals who attempt to
circumvent parking regulations by parking their vehicle in a different space or zone to comply
with posted time limit parking regulations. Parking enforcement officers input vehicle license
plate numbers of each parked vehicle during the course of patrol. After the initial patrol and
every patrol thereafter, this information would be available to each officer's handheld device
using real time wireless communication. As a result, if a vehicle is found in another space or
zone after being parked at another location, this information is made available to the officer for
citation purposes. Handheld ticket issuing devices would also provide the City with information
regarding the performance of the parking enforcement staff.
Samples of three different styles of these devices are shown in Figure 16.
There are many manufacturers who are capable of providing this type of system and are listed on
the International Parking Institute's Website at www.parking.org. The systems range from
simple handheld devices to devices that are also capable of capturing the image of an
automobile's license plate for court for verification purposes.
Handheld enforcement systems also include the software. The capability of the software system
can range based on the needs of the specific user and can also be customized to meet the
municipality's needs. The costs of these systems vary based on the system and level of
customization requested. Some cities opt for a lease purchase of this system to lessen the impact
on their operating budget.
If the City of McCall were to purchase this type of system, it is recommended that three (3)
handhelds be purchased. This will allow for two to be used at any given time and allow for a
spare and immediate replacement of a malfunctioning unit. The cost of this system, which
includes the handheld units, printers, docking stations and management software will most likely
range from$40,000 to $100,000 based on the level of equipment and software desired.
The City of McCall has a relatively small parking operation, and receives about $7,000 per year
in citation revenue so a complex system is unnecessary. The City should consider this
technology as a means to streamline the parking enforcement program. The cost will be affected
by numerous factors including the ability to interface with State and County software systems for
vehicle ownership identification. Pricing will also be dependent on the level of communication to
be real-time wireless devices that communicate all citation data back to the main terminal at the
time of issuance. This allows citation holders to make a payment at the office with all
information already in the system before the officer ends his or her shift and downloads data for

however, the towing company should not allow to release the vehicle until all unpaid fines or
fees (if applicable) are paid to the city. An additional release fee may be charged to cover the
labor costs associated with the tow. Adopted procedures need to establish the towing criteria and
associated fees. Immobilizing or booting cars are considered a reasonable alternative to towing.
Colorado Street
Colorado Street, which contains both commercial and residential zoning, is located on the
southern edge of the study area. The street contains destinations such as the Common Ground
Café and the Salmon River Brewery. Figure 18 shows Colorado Street looking west from 3rd
Street. These pill 0

eight parking stalls on its property, which has proven to be inadequate to meet the typical on-site
parking demand. Patrons of these businesses currently parallel park along both sides of Colorado
Street,the street is narrow and not designed to accommodate on-street parking resulting in safety
and noise related issues.

In a discussion with residents and business owners on Colorado Street, the following issues were
identified:
• The City needs to survey the Colorado Street right-of-way.
• Residential driveways are sometimes blocked and used as turn-around areas.
• There are no sidewalks forcing pedestrians to walk in the roadway.
• Future development in area will only increase parking and traffic problem.
• School buses use Colorado Street to access the high school where other routes may be
better and safer such as Stibnite Street and Mission Street.
Since the original discussions, City staff has been working with residents and businesses to
resolve the parking issue on Colorado Street. The City Council held a specific work session to
listen to residents and business owners.

Parking Management
There are some telltale signs of a poorly crafted management structure characterized by the
parking system's inability to:
• Meet basic performance objectives
• Portray a good public image
• Respond to the user groups it serves
• Understand and apply large parking management strategies
Conversely, well crafted parking management structures most often have the ability to perform
the following:
• Lstablish an adequate budget to adders the aprating requi:Ernents of harking sy n
• Sot suffciatemio fund activity to meet the Adapted goal's and of fives of the
parking%system.
• Control the elements and processes associated with the management and operation of the
parking system.
• Set aside sufficient revenue figswpertysition an tture velopient.
• Set aside sufficient revenue for system maintenance and other future capital expenditures.
• Direct and deliver services from a single source responsibility center.

The City of McCall should consider the creation of a mission statement for the parking system.
The following is a suggested mission statement for McCall:

The City of McCall's on and off-street parking system shall support existing land uses, assist the
City's economic development initiatives, assist in strategic planning for future parking
resources, and preserve parking for its visitors and residents by providing adequate and high
quality parking resources and related services for all user groups that need to park within the
City.
10. Conclusions and Recommendations
The City of McCall is a desirable place to live and visit because it offers year-around recreational
activities and a unique small-town atmosphere. The desire to create a "vibrant, walkable
downtown"was identified numerous times during the study.
Within tlieStuuy area, ivicLalrhas lutplus of parking to support an additional 122,000 too

infilling of private parking lots in the CDB to promote new development and move toward the
vibrancy within the downtown. However, the proximity of available parking to future
development must be considered when considering future parking requirements. lilfilliexamplerif

The City of McCall has the opportunity to generate revenue to fund the parking program but
should consider the all aspects of a meter program. Single-space meters are more affordable but
create additional obstacles for snow removal and pedestrian mobility.
1. Install single-space parking meters for the on-street parking in the downtown core. These
areas have more demand for parking and higher occupancy so the meters will encourage
turnover and require less code enforcement time.
2. Charge an initial rate of$1.00 per hour.
3. Limit on-street metered parking to 2-hours to encourage turnover.
4. Implement an introductory public education program.
Opportunities for Increased On-Street Parking

wide enough to provide angled parking. Moot streets in the CBD are 60 feet or less, so angled

Downtown Snow Removal
Snow removal is a critical and expensive issue in McCall and a comprehensive strategy needs to
be developed to ensure long-term plans for snow removal are integrated in the long-term plan for
parking.
1. The Public Works Department should develop an official snow removal plan for the
downtown.
2. Designate the large area behind City Hall as the main snow storage area for the CBD.
3. Designate the north side of the Urban Renewal Lot for snow storage while leaving the
south side available for parking.
4. Identify and set aside other small areas that will not impact public parking areas for
overflow snow storage.
5. For major snow events, haul snow to Riverfront Park or other pre-selected locations
outside the CBD after all designated snow storage sites in the CBD are full.
6. Further explore the snow melting systems and the respective cost and environmental
impact.
Development of Public Lots
Public lots that are not fully developed like the parking lot behind City Hall and the 1st SIMMilet
should be formalized and developed into functional surface parking lots to encourage peeto
park in these locations then walk. Appropriate surfacing. stormwater. sidewalks. landscafing,
and way-finding signage should be implemented.
Boat and Snowmobile Trailer Parking
Boat and snowmobile trailer parking was a prominent issue in the discuss'ons. The am following j
r commendations: ( D Lc r
1. leo not allow boat or snowmobile trailer parking on city streets
2. Designate premium boat trailer parking in the Urban Renewal Let. Charge $4-$5 posiday

5. Due to less demand in the winter, designate the part of the Urban Renewal Lot not in use
for snow storage for snowmobile trailer parking, if needed.
Wayfinding and Regulatory Signage
1. Install additional blue "Public Parking" signs similar to the ones currently in place.
These signs should be slightly larger at the major access points to the public parking
areas. Examples would include double sided signs at the intersections of 1st Street, and
Lake Street, 3rd Street and Railroad Avenue, and 3rd Street and Park Street. From these
points,additional signs should be installed at each turn and public parking lot entrance.
2. Consider installing additional two-hour parking signs at mid-block to help remind patrons
of the time limits.

Future Structured Parking
When the City of McCall is ready to consider building a parking garage,the following steps
should be taken:
1. Determine the demand for the facility, how many spaces, and what other
amenities, if any, are required for the garage. Will there be retail/commercial
space in the garage?
2. Hire designer/consultant to work with the City.
3. Select a site: Where is the best location for the garage and what sites are available
that would accommodate a reasonably efficient parking structure. What is the
cost of site acquisition?
4. Develop alternative garage conceptual plans.
5. Develop preliminary cost estimates.
6. Select final garage concept.
7. Parking structure design.
8. Develop financing program.
The following are potential parking structure and funding sources:

Idaho law states the library board is milisrap of 5 volunteers who are legally responsible for oMwwisit
operation of the library. Individual members have no legal authority—the board only has authority when it
makes a group decision in a meetin that meets requirements of the Idaho Open l ing-Ltorns '1'1lgs

Library Board and confirmed by City Council.
The mission of the McCall Public Library is to provide patrons with diverse and organized information that
satisfies their learning and recreational needs. Together with a well-trained staff, modern equipment, and a
welcoming environment, our library will promote understanding of our culture, our world, and ourselves.

Annual Report to McCall City Council for 2018
McCall Public Library Board of Trustees
April 26, 2018
In 2018, the McCall Public Library Board of Trustees continued to guide the library expansion.
We have clear timelines and capital improvement reports to detail this. We have come a long
way, in part thanks to the Library Expansion Committee and City Council.
Reaching out to the community for support and fundiven us a strong return. Through
public and private donations, grants and corfimimen s we are'now celebrating 1.3 million
dollars. Our fundraising coordinator Amy Rush has provided the leadership and skills the
Ambassadors need to approach our funding goals. The Ambassadors have and will develop
deeper ties to different levels of our community.
In order to recruit, accept and manage the private donations, this year the McCall Public Library
Foundation was established by volunteers as a separate but supporting entity. It provides the
501(c)(3) status needed to round out and expand fundraising options. Friends of the Library and
a volunteer attorney generously made that possible. Members are: Anita Cussler, Eric Haff,
v (9'n Laura Bechdel, Terry Edvalson, Barrett Lamm, and Jim Pace. Our Library Trustee John Milliner
serves as a Liaison to the Foundation.
This year our Trustees expanded knowledge and decision making by researching and attending
a field trip arranged by City Manager Anette pic<ard. This seminar in Meridian was attended Wiriwy Trustees, City Staff, Council members and Building Committee volunteers to obtain
iii&.nds on knowledge, advice and experiences pr1dr to determining our preferred CM/GC
approach. This led eventually to the hiring of Humphries Poli—the contract which was approved
by Council April 11—and the current ongoing selection process of a Construction Manager.
We are pleased to be part of the City Campus Planning project. The Cities' hiring of Humphries
Poli has been an affirmation of the cooperative efforts shown by all involved.
In addition to the expansion project, the Trustees have worked to maintain a library budget that
reflects our true needs. The Friends of the Library gave $4,900 last year and continue to support
our commitments to give this community the fine services that enhance literacy and the quality
of life we all enjoy in our robust community.
The Trustees have also supervised the Library Director as she revised the Collections
procedures and teen library card policies to remove barriers to our services and increase
access to the library. We have also moved to maintain the excellent relationship with Heartland
High School teachers and students. We defined a process to organize quarterly financial reports
for the expansion project with the Fundraising Coordinator, Library Director and City Treasurer.
This allows clear expectations, a defined schedule, and better transparency.
The Board would like to thank Bob Giles for serving as our City Council Liaison. The Trustees
look forward to continuing our support of our Director, staff and community as we expand
literacy, a healthy community, and our commitment to a McCall quality of life!

WOOLEY AVENUE BOARDWALK
WETLAND MITIGATION PLAN
Located in
McCall,Idaho.
December 2018
1.1 Project Description
Wooley Avenue is a road in McCall that connects the downtown area to the eastern
bypass around McCall (Spring Mountain Boulevard). As--a connector it receives
substantial traffic by •.th motorifsd aud nolLigativiiud use
due t. • - - • • •• •arrow choiild . s. a proposed Wooley Avenue
:oar•wa Separated Pathway project will allow non- otorized users to safely travel
through the rnkct area(see Figure Ll, mrj L/tC'd rt c,.
The proposed Wooley Boardwalk will be to • ndjnoroxima n .
It will be constructed using helical piers and treated lum er, with the helical piers p ace
approximately every ten lineal feet(see Figures 2 and 3).
1.2 Avoidance and Minimization
Three options were considered during the project planning phase.
1. Installation of the path on the North side of Wooley Avenue.
2. Widening the road with fill on the south side to create a separated pathway.
3. Construction of a boardwalk through the wetlands adjacent to Wooley Avenue.
Option number one was quickly ruled out due to the steep embankment along the north
side and the narrow right-of-way. Option number two would have required significant fill
in the adjacent wetlands and was ruled out in favor of option number three which will
have the least overall impact on the adjacent wetlands.
1.3 Project Site Wetland Classifications
A wetland delineation was performed by Crestline Engineering in March 2012. In the
report the wetland classification in the area of the proposed path consists mainly of
Palustrine Persistent Emergent along with shorter sections of palustrine deciduous scrub-
shrub and palustrine broad-leaved deciduous forest.
Wooley Boardwalk Wetland Mitigation Report Page 1
1.4 Wetland Impacts and Compensation
The nr _ Boardwalk will impact LQ $ . ft. .244 a etlands. It is
proposed to mitigate this impact with a 1:1 ratio + o o en ced poi inator wetlands
(see Figure 4) This will entail removing the existing wetland foliage in this area and.
reestablishing with pollinator friendly species.
2.1 Wetland Enhancement
The goal of this wetland mitigation plan is to prnv_ide a__ocatio_n__ ith_r6e annrnnriate
acrWathe proposail consation areas dPta'
ar-- • • f.- • , „ . ion area. The species of each of set,_create
more habitat for •olli,. • a • • onarch Butte
Based on discussions with the USACE on December.4, 2018 the wetland mitigation for
this project will consist of the enhancement of portions of the emergent wetlands
contained within the project area with higher quality pollinator species (plants, shrubs,
forbs, and trees). This will also increase the ecological diversity and provide better
wildlife habitat. Educational interpretive signage will also be incorporated into the project
at two separate pathways bump out locations.
2.2 Pollinator Species
There have been significant declines in pollinator species (bees and butterflies). Because
of the national goal to create more habitat for these species,the mitigation plan includes
the establishment of a susble population or fri
gra&ffc s,.and trees vukt c can be expected:-tom
frommlla�ttee spring and into early fall.
2.3 Wildlife
Increasing vegetative diversity will also provide improved habitat for animals. The
enhanced vegetation will provide food and cover for wildlife and birds.
2.4 Water Quality
The mitigation site includes a small stream flowing through the emergent wetland area.
The increased vegetation(plants, shrubs, and trees)will provide shade and help decrease
the water temperature.
