HEARING.
Chairman Youde made the request to address all six of the above applications
simultaneously, beginning with the staff report, the applicant's presentation, and then a
combined public hearing.
Michelle Groenevelt presented the staff report, stating that the applications came in on
August 1, 2006 and that they were continued to allow the applicant extra time to
resubmit some materials and to allow the staff time to review materials. Michelle stated
that since the last submission, the application has changed slightly; the applicant is now
proposing 97 market rate condominiums and 8 community housing units and
approximately 31,000 square feet of commercial space. This change creates an
additional 9,000 square feet in Building 3 that is above the 35 foot height limit. Michelle
stated the PUD is required because the area is greater that 2 acres. Through the PUD
process, the applicant is requesting a parking reduction from 282 required spaces to 257
spaces. The applicant is also requesting a set back deviation. Michelle stated that the
Code requires 20 feet to the adjacent project. The applicant is proposing to provide
extensive screening instead and would like to reduce the 20 foot set back area.
Michelle continued, stating the CUP is required for the buildings exceeding 35 feet in
height, and for outdoor and sidewalk seating provisions. Since August 1, the applicant
has also submitted a proposal to meet the parks requirement. Their proposal states that
the pedestrian plaza would be dedicated to public use, and their association would
maintain the plaza, and that they would make a connection between the plaza and City
Campus.
Michelle continued, stating that the road access has not changed; there are 3 access
points, from 3rd Street, Washington Street and Railroad Avenue. The snow removal plan
is the same, and the applicant is proposing to truck the snow off site. These issues are
all addressed in the development agreement.
The applicant has resubmitted the Community Housing Plan. They are now proposing 8
community housing units on site in Phase I. In Phase II, they are proposing 5 off site
units or 10 converted mobile home spaces, also off site. In Phase III, they are proposing
9 units off site or 10 converted mobile homes spaces which would be replaced with 14
McCall Area Planning and Zoning Commission
September 12, 2006 Revised Agenda Page 5
permanent units off site. All off site units would be completed no later than 2 years after
the approval of Phase III of the final plat.
In regards to Agency Reviews, Michelle stated that the Public Works had no issues. The
City Engineer issued a review letter on July 31, 2006, and the applicant is working
towards addressing these issues. The City Architect has issued his approval letter
August 30, 2006 and he did not have any conditions. The Fire District is working with the
developers and the State Fire Marshal. The City Arborist did not have any issues. The
Housing Authority issued a letter on September 9, 2006, and the applicant will speak to
the plan tonight. ITD's recommendation remained the same in regards to the left turning
lane and getting approval from the State.
Michelle stated there was only one public comment, and that was from David Burns.
Michelle continued by giving the staff recommendations for each application.

McCall Area Planning and Zoning Commission
September 12, 2006 Revised Agenda Page 7

the existing railroad bike path. The commitment shall be specified in the development
agreement.
For design review (DR-06-20), Alpine Village, staff recommends approval with no

Commissioner Feinberg asked what the difference between long term and short term
bike storage, to which Michelle replied a short term storage is a bike rack, and long term
storage refers to some type of enclosure. Commissioner Feinberg asked if there was
currently any long term bike storage in McCall, and Michelle stated no, she did not think
so, and that it is a new requirement with the new code.
There was discussion surrounding the dedication of the park space, and how the
applicant must get a recommendation from the Parks & Recreation committee.
Mike Hormaechea with Alpine Village. Mr. Hormaechea provided new material to give
site perspective and conceptual signage design for the project, adding they are prepared
to address parking layout and organization, store front fagade character, streetscape
colors and materials, as well as project signage. Mr. Hormaechea reviewed the new
renderings with the Commissioners.
Mr. Hormaechea stated the second major submittal is the revised community housing
plan. He stated that after the first hearing, they had several work sessions with Michael
David from the Housing Authority to address two key issues they thought was brought
up by staff and Commissioners. The first item being a preference for more community
housing on site, the second item being the ability to solidify the commitment that they
would bring for the off site location.
Mr. Hormaechea explained that the original plan had 92 market rate units, which
resulted in a community housing requirement of 18.4 units, of which 4 were proposed on
site, and 18 off site, potentially with the use of our existing mobile home park as
intermediate community housing. The revised plan has 97 market rate units, which is a
function of a partial addition of approximately 9,000 sq. ft. on the fourth floor on Building
3, and results in 19.4 community housing units. They are now proposing 8 of those units
on site, and 14.2 off site units.
Mr. Hormaechea explained that the project is three floors from the plaza level, but from
Railroad Avenue, the building is four floors, and measures above 35 feet. He explained
further that the percentage of the total building that is above 35 feet has gone from 8 to
11% with this recent revision.
Mr. Hormaechea stated that the revised plan is asking for reduction of 25 parking
spaces. Commissioner Feinberg asked what the justification was for the reduction in
parking. Mr. Hormaechea replied they felt the reduction was warranted and remains
practical because the project location is adjacent to a public transit route, and there are
multiple users — commercial and residential — and those users will have an off set peak
McCall Area Planning and Zoning Commission
September 12, 2006 Revised Agenda Page 8
demand time, and the projects location to other downtown users makes this a viable
parking plan.
Commissioner Feinberg asked what the staff recommendation was regarding parking, to
which Michelle replied that staff had not made a recommendation yet. Chairman Youde
questioned the options for the project, if the 282 parking spaces were required. Michelle
explained that they could either do a shared parking agreement with surrounding land
owners, or they could buy parking spaces from the City at $20,000 per space.
Mr. Hormaechea addressed the concern that was voiced about not having an off site
location for community housing identified and under their control at this time. He stated
that prior to the City hearing their Phase 3 final plat application, they would have to
provide confirmation of an off site location under their control and appropriately
dedicated for the use of developing their off site requirement of community housing.
Commissioner Schoedler asked how many units were going to be built in Phases 1 and
2. Mr. Hormaechea replied that there would be 60 units total in the first two Phases.
Mr. Hormaechea stated that providing more than 8 units on site was impractical due to
financial limitations. They estimate that the cost to produce a typical on site unit will be
between $250,000 and $300,000, and they will be restricted to selling that unit for
approximately $150,000, so they can expect a $100,000 to $150,000 loss per unit.
Mr. Hormaechea stated he believed that they could produce quality off site housing units
for less of a loss. The reason for that is because this project has some very expensive
components, specifically underground parking.
Mr. Hormaechea stated he was done with his presentation, and that he would be happy
to answer any questions, and that there were many members of the team to help answer
questions.
Commissioner Apperson asked about the park space, and asked whether this park
space would be subject to the same City park activities and regulations. Mr.
Hormaechea replied that yes, the proposal was that the plaza space through the CC&R
platting will be designated as a public open space, and that through coordination with the
Property Owners Association, the space could be available for a number of public
functions, including special concert events, and events related to Winter Carnival and
different holidays.
Chairman Youde commented on the novelty of a park space in a commercial center and
that it does raise issues of assurance of community access, and the ability to come and
sit in the plaza without having to buy something, and that it raises policing and safety
issues, and it raises questions about maintenance costs, and whose responsibility that
becomes.
Commissioner Apperson questioned the idea of reducing parking spaces while at the
same time providing a public park space.
Commissioner Feinberg asked about benches and public seating, and questioned
whether that was something to work out with the Parks & Recreation department via a
development agreement.
McCall Area Planning and Zoning Commission
September 12, 2006 Revised Agenda Page 9
Michelle explained that the applicant would make a formal presentation to the Parks &
Recreation Advisory Committee and that would include any amenities. The Committee
would make recommendations to the applicant.
Commissioner Feinberg asked about public restrooms, and whether there were any
provided in this public space. Mr. Hormaechea replied that there were no public
restrooms designated in the current site plan. Commissioner Feinberg stated he felt that
public restrooms should be provided.
Commissioner Youde asked why a larger percentage of the project is going above 50
feet, but there is not more community housing on site. Commissioner Apperson asked
about the amount of open space the project provided, and asked if it included
courtyards, walkways, etc. There was much discussion about open space and how the
city code defines it. There was discussion in regards to Railroad Ave and related right of
ways.
Commissioner Apperson addressed the setback reduction request, asking if any
neighbors had voiced any concern or opposition. Mr. Hormaechea replied that they had
a neighborhood meeting and at that time there were no objections that he was aware of.
Mr. Hormaechea stated there is an ongoing discussion and negotiation with the owners
of the Burger Den concerning the correlation between the two parking lots.
Commissioner Youde asked to hear about from community housing director Michael
David, and hear his opinions on the community housing proposal. Mr. David referenced
his letter to the Commissioners, and emphasized that VARHA's responsibility was to
make sure that the units being created meet the standards, minimum specs, and square
footage requirements, livability and that they are well integrated into the development.
Mr. David stated he would prefer all the units' onsite, but he realized that that is not
always economically feasible, and the Commissioners should consider making some
concessions. He stated that off site units are not necessarily a bad thing.
Commissioner Youde asked about the mobile home option and Mr. David stated that on
a permanent basis, the housing authority could not stand behind mobile homes, but he
felt that the mobile home option was fine for the short term. Commissioner Youde
commented that the final plat application is years down the road, and that the "promise"
of off site units makes him nervous. There was discussion about quality of community
housing projects, and Mr. David commented that the units must be of a satisfactory
quality, and that maintenance of the units must not become an issue later on. Chairman
Youde expressed concern relating to parking spaces for the community housing units.
Commissioner Apperson asked how the mobile home option factors into this
development in regards to square footage and maintenance costs, etc. Mr. David
expressed concern about displacement issues as the mobile homes get tumed into
permanent homes. Commissioner Apperson brought up the reality that mobile homes
depreciate, not appreciate, in value. Mr. David stated he envisioned mobile homes being
rental units until the off site units are built, and that development agreements would be
drafted to address ownership issues.
Chairman Youde questioned Michelle about bonding provisions to secure the promise of
community housing. Michelle stated that the bonding guarantee is actually included in
the development agreement.
McCall Area Planning and Zoning Commission
September 12, 2006 Revised Agenda Page 10
There was discussion about the community housing ordinance and what percentage of
community housing units are actually required; whether it is 20% of the market rate units
or 20% of the total units. Michelle stated that so far the City has required 20% of the
market rate units.
Chairman Youde thanked Mr. David and asked if he had any further comments, and he
did not, so Chairman Youde opened the public hearing for all six applications.
In support:
Patti Slovcheck, 615 Floyd Street. Ms. Slovcheck stated she generally supports the
project, but has concerns regarding traffic flow, and she stated a need for a turning lane
for ingress. Ms. Slovcheck stated she is very concerned about the lack of traffic flow in
the entire town. She stated the need for a public restroom. Regarding off site housing,
she expressed concern about the CC&R's in the neighborhoods where the community
housing units will be, and that those neighborhoods maintain their integrity. She is
concerned about density in town, especially around her house. She feels there needs to
be more housing provided on site.
Jean Odmark, stated she is in support of this project. Ms. Odmark stated she is very
opposed to 50 feet tall buildings in lake area, but she is so supportive of this project, that
even though she owns a home nearby, she would support a 50 feet building as a part of
this project. She stated this project is in good location and will be good for town. Ms.
Odmark stated she supported the use of the mobile homes as part of the community
housing requirement.
In opposition:
Bob Miller, speaking for Bryan Hill of Bryan's Burger Den. Mr. Miller stated he generally
supports the project, but has some specific concerns. Mr. Miller states that the PUD has
to integrate the project into the surrounding properties. Mr. Miller feels this project
segregates his clients' property. He suggested the developer come back with new plans
that are more integrative and that provide more cohesiveness with neighboring
properties. Mr. Miller insisted that the Commissioners do not wave the set back
requirement because it is needed for breathing room for his clients' property and as a
visual corridor out to the street. Mr. Miller stated he has no problem with the height of the
project or with the community housing issues. Mr. Miller would advise the Commission to
be consistent and don't bend the rules for any one project. Mr. Miller stated they
shouldn't vary the parking requirements, because parking is in short supply already.
Diane Evans -Mack, 230 Buckcamp Lane, addressed the parking issue, and the lack of
parking in town in general. Ms. Evans -Mack stated that the set backs should not be
changed, because it sets a poor precedent. She stated she is not in favor of anything
above 35 feet, but if they are going to consider a project taller than 35 feet, the trade offs
should be worth it and so far she has heard that they are not. She stated there should
not be any off site community housing, stating that if that is the price to pay to get to go
up to 50 feet, the units should be on site or you are not meeting the objectives of infill
development and decreasing sprawl. Ms. Evans -Mack stated the uncertainty of where
the off site housing would even be located is a problem and shouldn't even be
considered. She emphasized the need for community housing to be part of the project,
integrated into the project, and on site with the project. She stated that the mobile home
option is exclusionary and not what community housing is about.
McCall Area Planning and Zoning Commission
September 12, 2006 Revised Agenda Page 11
Esther Mulnick, Brook Drive, stated that if the Commissioners let them use trailers and
not provide the housing that they need to provide, it sets poor president. She stated this
is a great project and if they are not required to fulfill the obligation for community
housing, who will be.
Susan Bechdal, 1401 Highway 55, stated she applauds the revision for including 8 on
site units, but she is concerned about the balance of community housing. Ms. Bechdal
asked the question that if economics can be a legitimate reason for making on site
housing impractical, how will that priority ever be met? Ms. Bechdal commented that
parking doesn't pay for itself, and the plaza won't pay for itself, and no one should
expect community housing to pay for itself. But it is a commitment the developer makes
to meet the needs of the ordinance, and she feels that 20% is a small commitment to
make. Ms. Bechdal finished by stating that if community housing is going to be off site, it
shouldn't include mobile homes.
Curt Mack, 230 Buckcamp Lane, stated his feels they need to get the community
housing commitment up front because this project will set the precedent. Mr. Mack
stated that off site units, especially if they are mobile homes, is not going to be
something the community will support. In regards to parking and traffic flows, Mr. Mack
believes that the congestion in McCall is a real concern, and will be a greater concern in
the future and they need to look at how this project will impact current traffic flows, and
this is related to parking spaces and he urges the Commission not to reduce parking
requirements. Mr. Mack stated he believed the set backs need to stay the same,
especially because this will be a precedent setting project, and if it is a scenic route, then
keep it a scenic route and have high standards. In regards to the 50 foot height limit— he
is opposed to 50 foot buildings, but if this is going to be the first project to go to 50 feet,
there had better be good reasons, and he doesn't think the reasons are there yet.
No further public comment at this time. Applicant invited to respond.
Steve Milleman, introduced himself, stating he represents the applicant. He thanked
Michelle and staff for their hard work on these applications. Mr. Milleman commented on
the increase of community housing relative to the increase in the mass of the building
over 35 feet, stating there is less than a 40 % increase in the percentage of the mass of
the building over 35 feet, and over 100% increase in the number of on site units. In
regards to the park issue - this will be an urban park, and dedicated to public use. In
regards to the question about maintenance, there will be a proposal in writing, stating
that the city will have no maintenance responsibilities, and that the maintenance burden
will fall onto the owners association. In addition, the developer would connect the plaza
across Railroad Avenue, with the bike path, and with whatever ultimate City Campus
develops. This will be part of the development agreement, which will have to be finalized
before first final plat comes to the Commission.
Mr. Milleman addressed the parking issue, stating that there is sufficient underground
parking for residential, and in regards to sharing spaces, commercial and retail uses will
have offseting hours of operation. Mr. Milleman stated the development agreement will
resolve many of these issues before the first final plat is ever approved. In regards to
economics as a factor in community housing, that is inevitable. Mr. Milleman
emphasized that the mobile homes are temporary, and that more units will be provided
than required by the ordinance. He feels that this community housing plan sets a good
precedent. In regards to the issues with Mr. Hill, Mr. Milleman stated these are legal
issues, and the Commission cannot solve these issues. He added that the CUP
McCall Area Planning and Toning Commission
September 12, 2006 Revised Agenda Page 12
conditions have been met in regards to the ordinance. In regards to the height limit, the
issue has been resolved as a matter of law at this point, and it is allowed in this zone
according to the ordinance and they would like to move forward.
Chairman Youde expressed his concern about making a decision tonight due to issues
related to parking, the park/plaza, setbacks, community housing and the timing issue, as
well as other issues, and he recommended holding off on a decision until the October
meeting. Chairman Youde also expressed his desire to have all six members of the P&Z
present.
Commissioner Feinberg asked about turning lanes, and there was discussion
concerning a center turn lane and what the ITD requirements are. Mr. Hormachea stated
their traffic impact study recommended a center turn lane on Third Street for the length
of the project, and that has been incorporated as a recommended condition of approval,
and the developer will bear the expense of the turn lane. Commissioner Feinberg
recommended opening up the area around Bryan's Burger Den, as opposed to pushing
the landscaping right up to the restaurant.
Commissioner Apperson commented on parking, and asked how the number of spaces
required is determined. She commented that is desirable for the developer to have
underground parking, as it frees up space for retail and more profitable development,
and it isn't a concession for the developer. Commissioner Apperson also stated she has
concerns regarding community housing.
Commissioner Schoedler stated he does not have an issue with parking; he feels there
are adequate spaces. He has concerns about the inclusionary housing issue.
Chairman Youde moves to continue these projects until October 3, 2006, and proposed
a five minute break.

McCall Area Planning and Zoning Commission
September 12, 2006 Revised Agenda Page 13
Chairman Youde asked for the staff review and recommendation from Michelle
Groenevelt. Michelle stated that the application was continued so that the applicant
could revise and resubmit the elevation of the building, the landscape and parking plan
and the sign plan. All the requested materials have been submitted and the only
outstanding issue is the sign plan, and the applicant has been working with John Larson,
the person in charge of Design Review, and they are willing to work with staff to come to
a compromise with staff.
The design review application (DR-06-19) is recommended for approval with the
condition that the sign plan is resubmitted to meet the area requirements and
incorporate materials that are more similar to the building facade, according to the
comments in the review by John Larson dated August 30, 2006.

Application for design route approval to construct a three-story, 66 unit hotel with an
indoor pool. The applications were presented at the August 1 P&Z meeting and the
application were continued to allow the applicant to revise and resubmit the elevations,
landscaping/parking, and sign plan. All the requested materials were submitted. A
PUBLIC HEARING.
Staff also recommends approval of DR-06-19 with the condition of resubmitting the sign
plan to meet the staffs approval.
McCall Area Planning and Zoning Commission
September 12, 2006 Revised Agenda Page 14
Commissioner Schoedler asked if the applicant had resubmitted the sign, and Michelle
replied that they had resubmitted the sign, but there were still some issues, stating the
sign was too tall, and the area was too large.
Chairman Youde requested hearing the proposal from the applicant.
Brad Bauer, owner of the Americlnn, stated that since the last meeting they have
addressed some of the concerns the esthetics of the building, especially the south wall.
They have also redesigned the sign, and made it much less imposing and cut the size
down considerably. Mr. Bauer added that signage is very important to his business and
he feels he has a disadvantage compared to his competitors, whose signs are larger.
Commissioner Feinberg questioned what material was used to create sign. The
applicant replied that the lettering is illuminated, and the sign is backlit. Michelle
Groenevelt stated that this type of sign is allowed by the current city code.
Chairman Youde questioned who the applicant shares driveways with. Mr. Bauer stated
they have agreements with two separate property owners. Mr. Bauer stated that Paul
Pittenger owns the property to the south, and the shared ingress/egress is an existing
drive and the property line splits that driveway. The other property owner is Rob Collins,
and they have an agreement to share that ingress/egress, which was approved by the
ITD, and both are recorded easements.
Chairman Youde brought up the issue of the sign again. Michelle stated the proposed
sign is allowed, but if the Commission has a comment or recommendation regarding the
backlit sign, now is the time. There was discussion about the materials used.
Commissioner Feinberg stated he felt that a top lit sign would be more appealing, and
Commissioner Apperson agreed. Commissioner Feinberg stated that he would like to
recommend that staff make it a condition of approval to have a top lit sign that complies
with the Dark Sky Ordinance.
There was discussion concerning the landscape design and the types of trees to be
planted. Commissioner Feinberg addressed the height of the berm to be created on the
Highway 55 side, stating he felt the berm could be higher, up to four feet and sculptured
and not just a row and it should incorporate boulders and rocks. Mr. Bauer stated the
landscape will include boulders.
Chairman Youde opened the public hearing for both applications. There was no
comment, so the public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Schoedler motioned to approve SR-06-14 with the condition of the staffs
approval of a top lit sign, and the height of the berm is increased to approximately four
feet with additional landscape features.
Commissioner Feinberg seconded the motion. The motion was approved.
Commissioner Schoedler motioned to approve DR-06-19 with the condition of the staffs

Chairman Youde asked Michelle to offer observations and recommendations. Michelle
stated the applicant is applying for a record of survey because there was a garage built
over the lot line, and now the applicant is interested in selling the parcels off. A revised
site plan was received today with new dimensions because the set backs were not
appropriate for the garage. The application is eligible for a record of survey and the
resultant lots will comply with the provisions of the MCC Residential Zone General
Development Standards for the R4 zone.

discuss a conditional use permit to construct a guest house on the government leased
lot. The property is more particularly described as:
Gov't Lot 1 of Section 4, T. 18N, R. 3E, B.M., Shown as Lot 2A on Record of Survey
Filed in Book 2, Page 140, City of McCall, Valley County, Idaho. NOT A PUBLIC
HEARING.
Applicant Jim Baker, representing wife Loren Macey and himself, presented the
application, stating he is requesting to build a two garage with accommodations on the
second floor on their property. Mr. Baker stated the structure would not contain a
kitchen, in which case a CUP is not required, so Michelle stated he did not need to
continue with the pre -application meeting.
PRE -APPLICATION (SUB, ZON, DR)
426 & 428 Colorado Street and 218 Rio Vista Blvd.
Anthony Gabrielli: A pre -application meeting to discuss a 21 to 27 unit project on 426 &
428 Colorado Street and a pre -application meeting to discuss the subdivision of 218 Rio
Vista Blvd. property into 10 residential lots.
Mr. Garbrielli presented this application, and Kurt Wolf with Sesech Engineering also
spoke on behalf of the project. They are proposing 22 market rate units plus 6 on site
community housing units (28 total units) on 3.8 acres. Kurt stated the property is
McCall Area Planning and Zoning Commission
September 12, 2006 Revised Agenda Page 16
currently zoned R4, and they are requesting a change in density to R8. Michelle stated
due to the size of the lot, it will require a PUD, and because it is multi -family it requires a
DR, as well as SUB and ZON applications. Michelle added that this project would be
subject to the parks requirement, because it has more that 9 units and it would require a
dedication of a park on site, off site, or pay a fee in lieu of.
Chairman Youde addressed the question of fire safety and fire department access, and
snow removal and storage. Kurt replied they are talking with the Fire Department and
they are leaving open areas for snow storage.
Commissioner Schoedler asked what the Comprehensive Plan had planned for this
area. Michelle stated she was not sure at this time, and they need to verify what the
future land use map delegates.
Michelle asked if they were concerned about preserving trees and natural areas, and
Kurt stated that was a major concern and priority for the project, and the open areas
would be used as snow storage during the winter months and park like space during
other times of the year.
Chairman Youde asked if there was further discussion needed, and recommended
getting together with staff to further discuss the park issue and the future land use for
this area.
Mr. Gabrielli presented his application for splitting his lot in Rio Vista. He stated this
property is zoned R4, because he wants to subdivide this parcel. The applicant was told
if it was split into more than 4 lots he would need to apply for a SUB, but if it was split
into less than 4 lots, it would only require a ROS.
Michelle suggested staying in touch with the comprehensive plan process and meeting
with his neighbors to see what they are planning for the adjacent lots, and come up with
a neighborhood plan.

Larry Terherst representing Mountain Life Church: A design review application to
operate a pre-school and construct a 3 classroom addition. The application is also to
operate a coffee shop and bookstore within the church to serve the parishioners. A
PUBLIC HEARING.
Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission approve DR-06-24.
Staff did not recommend any conditions for this application.
Larry Terherst, representing Mountain Life Church, presented the applications. Mr.
Terherst stated that what Michelle presented in the staff report is exactly what they are
requesting from the Commission tonight. Mr. Terherst stated their sign would be lit from
above, with small roof over the top, and is 4x8 feet in size.
Commissioner Apperson questioned whether there is a master plan for future
development so that they are not just adding on in bits and pieces.
Mr Terherst stated that their septic system would be the limiting factor to their expansion.
Mr. Terherst stated they own 33 acres, and a portion of this is wetlands, and not suitable
for building.
Commissioner Schoedler opened the public hearing.
Michelle Smith stated she supports the pre-school addition.
Greg Whitaker stated he is in favor of the affordable daycare this project will provide,
and he encourages the Commission to move forward.
Bob Youde, 1210 S. Samson Trail, stated he has concerns with issues regarding the
CUP, SR and DR applications. Mr. Youde stated these issues are here before the
Commission to correct and make legal several activities that have happened since the
issuance of the original CUP. As the church has grown, they have opened and
advertised for a commercial bookstore and coffee shop, created a large and
nonconforming sign to advertise those businesses, and opened a daycare center without
seeking approval from the City or the County and is outside the CUP, and without
seeking approval of well and septic system, which were designed only for a church
building. Mr. Youde made reference to wood cutting operation, stating that the church
processes 50 cords of wood each year. This activity clearly violates conditions of the
CUP condition 8, regarding neighborhood disruption due to noise, smoke and fumes.
Mr. Youde expressed concern over land use activities that fall within the 12 conditions of
a CUP and are appropriate in a residential zoned property with residential zoned
neighbors. He is concerned about the establishment of a bus service park and ride. He
believes there is no relation between the park and ride and the CUP, and he is
concerned that the increased traffic will be a problem.
Mr. Youde is asking the Commission to approve the CUP for the daycare center and
pre-school operation, and for the coffee shop and bookstore (for parishioners only), and
to also approve the DR and SR for the construction of the classroom. Mr. Youde asked
McCall Area Planning and Zoning Commission
September 12, 2006 Revised Agenda Page 19
the Commission to deny the proposal for the bus service park and ride site until a traffic
study is concluded and the subject can be presented at a neighborhood meeting and
include a parking and landscape plan for the area. Mr. Youde also asked the
Commission to require in the conditions of the CUP that the Church permanently
discontinue its practice of wood stockpiling and cutting logs on site. Mr. Youde also
asked the Commission to require the Church to establish a date certain for the removal
of the large inventory of dirt and gravel piles on the site and that the classroom
construction not add to the volume of dirt piles. Mr. Youde also asked that during the
review of the city Comprehensive Plan, the church be asked to identify its long range
construction and development plan for their 33 acre project.
Neal Thompson stated he attends this church and is also a school board trustee. Mr.
Thompson stated he recently had discussions with Harlow's bus services and that
legally as a school they have to transport children to and from school. The school board
recently decided they are no longer going to let children out on the highway, the bus will
now pull into the parking lot to drop them off.
Natalie Clap, Director of preschool, testified that she supports this project and added that
they do meet county and state codes and always have maintained that licensure. Ms.
Clap stated that Mr. Lapin at Central District Health did approve the septic systems and
all the proper channels were taken.
Mr. Terherst provided a rebuttal, stating that DEQ did approve water system, and they
have gone through extensive testing and it meets the qualifications for the pre-school,
adding that they have been inspected and will continue to be inspected. Mr. Terherst
explained that they traded dirt from the construction site for aggregate to put on their
parking lot, so the church does not own the dirt, but the owners of the dirt have been
contacted and they are trying to move forward with moving the dirt.
Mr. Terherst stated that they are moving the wood cutting operation off site, and all wood
should be removed by next Saturday. Mr. Terherst stated that McCall Transit
approached them with the suggestion of providing a park and ride location on the church
property, adding that they want to be a part of it for the community's sake. McCall Transit
currently has a bus stop at the church.
Commissioner Feinberg asked what the speed limit was at that point on the highway; Mr.
Terherst replied that it is currently 45 mph.
Commissioner Apperson asked if ITD was involved in the park and ride issue, adding
that the park and ride could be problematic with speed limits at this time.
Commissioner Feinberg suggested that Mr. Terherst contact ITD and attempt to get the
speed limit changed to 35mph. Commissioner Feinberg stated the Commission needed
to see proof of the approvals from the DEQ and Mr. Lapin of Central District Health
before approving the CUP for the daycare, coffee shop and bookstore.
Hearing not further comments, Commissioner Schoedler closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Feinberg moved to approve CUP-06-18, with the appropriate approvals
from the City, DEQ, and Central District Health regarding septic and water, and that the
park and ride issue be tabled at this time, and that the wood cutting operation cease,
and that the dirt be removed as soon as possible, and that the landscape plan be

submitted with the building permit, and that the sign design needs is approved by staff
and ITD.
Commissioner Apperson seconded that motion, and the motion passed.
Commissioner Feinberg moved to approve SR-06-16.
Commissioner Apperson seconded the motion, and the motion was approved.
Commissioner Feinberg moved to approve DR-06-24.

Lots 18-24, Block 11 Townsite of Lardo Pinedale Street
John McCarthy for Bridge Development: Design Review applications to build
approximately 2200 sq. ft. single family houses on seven non -conforming lots. Four of
the houses are proposed to be the submitted plan A and three of the houses are
proposed to be the submitted plan B. The property is more particularly described as:
Lots 18-24, Block 11 Townsite of Lardo, McCall, Valley County, Idaho. A PUBLIC
HEARING.
Chairman Youde asked Michelle to explain why this application includes all these items
as one agenda item for lots 18-24.
Michelle explained that there was initially one application submitted for 7 different DR for
7 different lots, and the application was signed by the developer as both the applicant
and the representative. Staff recently discovered that there are actually 7 different
McCall Area Planning and Zoning Commission
September 12, 2006 Revised Agenda Page 21
owners, but staff is treating this as 7 different DR applications, but will have one staff
report due to the short notice of the new information regarding lot ownership.
Michelle stated that the McCall Area Comprehensive Plan identifies the property as low
density residential, or R4. Design Review is required because each lot is a non-
conforming lot.
Michelle stated all the houses will be facing Pinedale with garages accessed from an
improved alley way.
The City architect John Larsen recommended that the applicant resubmit the application
because the submitted materials do not meet the application requirements. The
applicant is required to submit specific descriptions of exterior materials, including
colors, landscaping and a utilities plan for each unit. Mr. Larson also suggested that the
zero lot line layout or townhouse approach to these lots may provide for more livable
units.
The City engineer has held off on the engineering review based on the City architects
comments. If the applicant chooses to resubmit the site plan, they didn't want to have to
do two reviews and charge the applicant twice.
The Fire District had no comment, Public Works did not have any comment, and there
was no public comment.
Staff recommends P & Z Commission continue the applications for DR-06-25, DR-06-26,
DR-06-27, DR-06-28, DR-06-29, DR-06-30 and DR-06-31 to address the following
issues:
1. Applicant shall submit a revised landscaping plan to include more diversity of species
and preservation of natural vegetation.
2. The applicant shall resubmit plans to combine units into (3) two unit town homes with
zero lots lines.
3. Applicant shall resubmit required information as stated in the Design Review letter
dated September 5th, 2006.
4. Applicant shall provide adequate snow storage.
Chairman Youde requested the applicant to present the project.
Michael Jobes, for Bridge Development, is representing 7 individual property owners.
Mr. Jobes stated that tuming these units into townhouses would diminish the value of
these units. He stated he was a fan of architecture, of infill and of the design of these
homes.
Commissioner Schoedler brought up the question of snow storage, given that there is
only 10 feet between the walls of each structure. There was discussion about the design
of the buildings, the lack of windows, and how to deal with snow storage.
Commissioner Feinberg stated that there are advantages to the town home concept.
McCall Area Planning and Zoning Commission
September 12, 2006 Revised Agenda Page 22
John McCarthy spoke in regards to The Docks development and the possibility of the
Pinedale units being community housing for The Docks project. He stated that the
Pinedale units are not related to The Docks projects.
Chairman Youde moved to continue application until September 26, 2006 and continue
the public hearing until that date too.

PUBLIC HEARING.
Chairman Youde asked for the staff report for these applications.
Michelle Groenevelt stated the applicant has revised the site plan since the September
12, 2006 application, and the units have been moved to the west to create a zero lot line
configuration, and they also moved two units together, creating more space between the
units. The landscape plan was also resubmitted, as well as submitting all exterior
construction materials.
The city architect John Larson recommended approval. The city engineer is still working
with the applicant to make sure they can get approval.
Michelle stated there was one public comment, an email from neighbor John Rygg, who
has concerns regarding the project. The letter was given to the Commissioners prior to
the meeting.
Staff is recommended approval of DR-06-25, DR-06-26, DR-06-27, DR-06-28, DR-06-

Architect John Larson to both their satisfactions and he has nothing else to present to
the Commission.
Chairman Youde asked if there was a Home Owners Association, Mr. McCarthy stated
that there was no Home Owners Association at this time. Chairman Youde expressed
concern about parking, fences, snow storage issues, landscaping and how issues like
this would be regulated without a HOA. There was discussion regarding the need for an
HOA. Michelle asked the applicant if they would be willing to create a HOA and CC&R's
for this project and the applicant said yes, they would create both. The issuance of
Certificates of Occupancy would be contingent upon approval of the HOA and CC&R's.
Chairman Youde opened the public hearing, there were no testifiers, and the public
hearing was closed.
Chariman Youde asked for additional comments and concerns from the Commission.
Chairman Youde made to motion to approve DR-06-25, DR-06-26, DR-06-27, DR-06-28,

210 W. Lake Street
McCall Design representing Dick Ennis: A scenic route application to relocate the home
on 213 W. Lake Street to 210 W. Lake Street in expectation of constructing a new
residence on the lake. The property is more particularly described as:
McCall Acreage Lot 36, Government Lot 5 of Section 8, T. 18N, R. 3E, B.M.,
McCall, Valley County, Idaho. A PUBLIC HEARING.
Chairman Youde introduced this application, and asked for the staff report.
Michelle stated there were no code issues associated with this application. The project is
served by city water and sewer. The proposed access is off W. Lake Street. The City
Engineer did not have issues with this application, nor did Public Works or the Fire
District. Payette Lakes Watershed Advisory Group did not have any issues either.
There was one email from neighbor Mrs. Whitney, opposing the project.
Staff recommends approval of SR-06-10 with the following conditions:
1. The applicant shall provide natural trees, shrubs, and grasses, or provide and
maintain landscaping on all areas not actually utilized for required off-street parking and
buildings. A landscaping plan shall be submitted with the building permit.
2. The applicant shall prepare and record a ten foot wide pedestrian access easement
across the Lake Street frontage of the property.
McCall Area Planning and Zoning Commission
September 26, 2006 Agenda Page 2
Andy Laidlaw, with McCall Design and Planning, representing Dick and Mary Lou Ennis,
presented the application. Mr. Laidlaw stated the relocated home conforms to all the set
backs and requirements. Mr. Laidlaw commented on Mrs. Whitney's opposition to the
project, stating she contends that when Mr. Ennis removed the house that was
previously on that lot, it destroyed the sewer connection. She also claims that the
Ennis's property drains onto her property. There is also an issue conceming a rock being
placed on the southeast corner of her property.
Roger Millar explained the sewer connection issue, stating the Whitney's sewer
connection was connected to the main system via the Ennis's connection. This situation
is common in the City of McCall, and when discovered, the City is making all customers
reconnect correctly. When Mr. Ennis moved his house, the sewer connection was
disconnected, leaving the Whitney's with no sewer connection either. It is the Whitney's
responsibility to pay for the reconnection of their home to the sewer system, not Mr.
Ennis's.
Michelle stated that concerning the drainage issue, the City Engineer reviewed the
drainage plan and did have any issues with the drainage situation. She added the City
Engineer did not see any issues with setbacks either.
Chairman Youde opened the public hearing. There were no testimonies, and the public
hearing was closed.
Chairman Youde asked for comments and discussion with Commissioners.
Commissioner Schoedler moved to approve SR-06-10, with the following conditions.
1. The applicant shall provide natural trees, shrubs, and grasses, or provide
and maintain landscaping on all areas not actually utilized for required off-
street parking and buildings. A landscaping plan shall be submitted with
the building permit.
2. The applicant shall prepare and record a ten foot wide pedestrian access
easement across the Lake Street frontage of the property.
Commissioner Jessup seconded the motion, and the motion was approved.

NOT A PUBLIC HEARING.
Chairman Youde asked for the applicant to come forward and present their application.
No one was there to present the application.
McCall Area Planning and Zoning Commission
September 26, 2006Agenda Page 3
Michelle stated there are steep slopes on the building site, and that is why they are
applying for a CUP.
This application will be held as an open item in case the applicant does show up.
PRE -APPLICATION (SUB, PUD, and ZON)
TBD West Lake Street
Larry Tieman representing Advanced Properties: A pre -application meeting to present a
subdivision, planned unit development, and rezone applications for a project on
approximately 18 acres. The applicant is requesting a rezone from R-1 to the R-4 zone.
The submitted project consists of 12 townhouse lots, 12 large SF homes, and 12
community housing units. The property is more particularly described as:
W1/2 of the NW1/4 of Section 17, T. 18N, R. 3E, B.M., Valley County,
Idaho. NOT A PUBLIC HEARING.
Larry Tiernan, representing Advanced Properties presented the project. The project is
located on an 18.25 acre parcel, which is currently zoned R1. Mr. Tieman stated they
are proposing to build 41 units, including 9 single family units, 14 duplex town homes
and 18 community housing units in three 6-plex buildings. Mr. Tiernan stated if the
zoning was increased, the project could be expanded to 47 units, and they would
increase the number of community housing units by six units by turning the 6-plex units
into 8-plex units. The project currently allows 2 parking spaces per community housing
unit, but the number of parking spaces would decrease if they increased the number of
community housing units.
Commissioner Jessup asked about a pedestrian/bike path through the development. Mr.
Tieman stated they will put a path though the development, adding that construction of
these buildings would be 80 feet from the highway.
Michelle asked if they have talked to the community housing authority yet, and Mr.
Tieman stated no, they had not talked with them yet, but they would definitely enlist their
help to develop the community housing portion of the project.
Commissioner Apperson asked about a public transportation facility or bus stop. Mr.
Tiernan stated they did not have anything planned yet, but they are open to suggestions.
Commissioner Feinberg suggested talking to ITD and taking into account what the
speed limit is there when considering driveways and access.
Michelle suggested the applicant look into the code requirements for garages for
condominium projects. She stated they are looking at SUB, PUD, ZON, and DR
applications.
PRE -APPLICATION (ZON)
TBD Louisa and Fir Street
Claire Remsberg representing Sonia and Joe Wright: A pre -application meeting to
discuss a rezone from R8 to R16 to three create conforming lots instead of the existing
three non -conforming lots. The property is more particularly described as:
McCall Area Planning and Zoning Commission
September 26, 2006 Agenda Page 4
Lots 15, 16, 17, Block 5, McCall 1st Addition. NOT A PUBLIC HEARING.
Claire Remsberg, representing Sonia and Joe Wright, presented the application. Ms.
Remsberg stated this project involves three non -conforming lots that are 30 x 120 feet.
They are proposing a reconfiguration of the three lots so that the lots would become
conforming, adding that there would not be a change in the number of units to be built.
Chairman Youde expressed his concern over rezoning the lots to R16, stating the
applicant could apply to build more units. Chairman Youde realizes that this application
is being made to improve the design options, but that if they increased the zoning here, it
sets a precedent and others may apply for rezone with the intent of higher density and
that would be undesirable.
Commissioner Feinberg stated this reconfigured project looked much better than the
non -conforming lot options and Commissioner Jessup agreed.
Michelle stated she would check with the city attorney regarding spot zoning, and see if
an ROS would suffice instead of a rezone. There was discussion around the issue of
non -conforming lots, and rezoning versus a Record of Survey.
Charirman Youde asked Michelle to get back to the Commission regarding what she
finds out regarding spot zoning from the city attorney and present the information at the
October 3. 2006 meeting.
PRE -APPLICATION (CUP, SR, DR)

Matt Anthony for IDAZONA, LLC/Greg Hoyt: A pre -application meeting to discuss the
construction of a two car garage with living quarters above. The property is more
particularly described as:
Government Lot 3, Section 2, T. 18N, R3E, B.M. McCall, Idaho. NOT A
PUBLIC HEARING.
Andy Laidlaw, with McCall Design and Planning, for Matt Anthony, presented the
application. Mr. Laidlaw stated the proposed project would be an accessory structure to
the main residence with no kitchen. The project would be two bedrooms over a garage.
This project would be subject to SR, DR, and CUP applications.
Michelle asked if they had held the neighborhood meeting, Mr. Laidlaw stated no, but
that they had had conversations with neighbor Mr. Norquist.
Roger Millar commented that it needs to be clear who shares docks, paths, etc. in case
there is ever different ownership and recommended designing the joint use areas as if
non family members are sharing the amenities, to avoid disputed issues in the future.
Chairman Youde stated he did see not see any problems and it seems like a reasonable
project.
PRE -APPLICATION (SUB, DR)
McCall RV Resort

September 26, 2006 Agenda Page 5
Greg Pittenger representing Kevin O'Leary for Glenveigh LLC: A pre -application meeting
to discuss the subdivision of 24 'park model' condominiums within PUD-01-1. The
property is more particularly described as:
A portion of the property in the E1/2 of the SW1/4 and Government Lot 6 of
Section 17, T.18N., R. 3E, B.M., McCall, Valley County, Idaho. NOT A PUBLIC
HEARING.
Kevin O'Leary presented this application, stating this subdivision is part of a 54 acre
project with 250 units. Mr. O'Leary defined a park model as a cabin like structure with
cedar siding, composite roofs, and large windows. Mr. O'Leary stated this was actually
an application for a 21 unit subdivision, not 24 units.
Chairman Youde asked if Roger Millar had issues regarding water and sewer, Roger
stated he did not have any issues, adding that the project is served by a large meter at
this time, but would move towards individual meters at each unit in the future.
There was discussion regarding fractional ownership and modular hotel units.
Commissioner Schoedler questioned covered parking for condominiums, which is
required per the city code. Mr. O'Leary stated they have a large area for the storage of
vehicles, recreational vehicles, trailers, etc. Commissioner Feinberg stated he had
concerns about the storage of recreational vehicles and cars if these units became long
term rental units.
Mr. O'Leary stated they had a neighborhood meeting last night and the main concern he
heard in regards to building near the industrial area was the level of noise. Mr. O'Leary
stated he lives there and does not feel that noise is a big concem.
Roger Millar identified the issues with this project as parking and community housing
and suggested the applicant work with the housing authority, adding they would probably
need 40 community housing units.
Commissioner Apperson stated she thought these units could provide much needed
seasonal housing.

Panhakle. This is a SR application for storage barn. There is a house on the property
where the barn will be built.
There were no apparent objections to the project.
PRE -APPLICATION (CUP)
700 Reedy Lane
Fredrick Certano representing Brundage Mountain Resort: A pre -application meeting to
discuss converting a care facility to employee housing. The property is more particularly
described as:
McCall Acreage Tax # 386 in the Se % of the NW1/4 of Section 9, T. 18N,
R. 3E, B.M., McCall, Valley County, Idaho. NOT A PUBLIC HEARING.
Rick Certano, president of Brundage Mountain presented the application. The applicant
wants to convert a care facility into employee housing. Application is for a CUP. Mr.
Certano stated this is a well suited building for employee housing.
Commissioner Apperson asked about parking, and how many spaces were available
and if there was adequate parking facilities.
Roger Millar suggested creating a development agreement to minimize the number of
cars that would need parking spaces.
Mr. Certano stated they intend to work with other entities to keep this building full during
the off season, or summer months.
There were no major issues other than the parking issues, and noise levels.
Chairman Youde made a last call for Irish and Ghio applications.

OTHER
Discussion of Title 3 and Title 9 Code Amendments
Chairman Youde opened the discussion. Roger Millar requested keeping this discussion
in "housekeeping mode" and not create huge changes at this time, rather keep it a
workshop to bring ideas to a public hearing.
Chairman Youde questioned how a kitchen defined. There was much discussion
regarding how to define a kitchen, and it was decided it still needs to be more clearly
defined in the building code.
Roger Millar began the discussion of how to determine the height of a building,
suggesting taking the average elevation of the buildings footprint for a beginning
elevation and going to the ridge on the roof.
Chairman Youde stated the tree committee will work on defining tree stems, and
Michelle added they are waiting to hear from Shane regarding tree stern definitions.
The only professional offices allowed in Residential zones are home offices and is
defined by having only one employee.
Side yard setback needs to be redefined to avoid huge walls. DR was supposed to fix
this issue, but it is not. It was suggested to have a "step back" condition built into t he
definition, and use DR as a way to go up higher.
Roger Millar stated the "non -conforming chapter" does not address any lots other than
residential lots. Lots under 10,000 in industrial zone are currently non -conforming, so
Roger suggested reducing the lot size requirements to 3,000. Roger recommended
dropping it to 3,000 sq. feet, but for any new lot created it must be at least 10,000 sq.
feet.
Roger commented on clarifying the language used to define the intent of structures
beyond 150 feet, but visible from the scenic route.
Commissioner Feinberg stated they are working on the building envelope and the
remainder of the lot.
Michelle thought it prudent to define the dimensions of a compact parking space,
because she gets frequent calls about this.
Regarding chapter 9, #3 Roger suggested granting administrative approval for some
exceptions.
Regarding parking requirements in commercial vs. residential, the code states there are
1.5 in multi -family commercial zones and 2.5 in residential zones, and Michelle
questioned those numbers. There was discussion regarding parking in the city of McCall,
how much should be required, and how much is needed.
Internally lighted signs are not preferred. Commissioner Feinberg requested to put
something in the code to bring old signs up to standard. There was much discussion
regarding signs, including clarification on how to determine the size of signs and how to
bring outdated signs up to code.
McCall Area Planning and Zoning Commission
September 26, 2006Agenda Page 8
Michelle stated in the SR applications, the administrator can write a letter and get
approval, but they can't for DR and some really minor items are being brought before the
Commission unnecessarily.
R8 zone was accidentally left out of the code and needs to be added.
The issue of "boarding houses" was brought up, and how many people can live in a
single family residence. Roger stated the Federal housing law states related family
members plus 3 unrelated persons. Chairman Youde expressed great concern with
creating a law suit and emphasized that this is a very delicate situation. Roger
suggested duplicating what HUD uses as a standard.
Michelle asked about building height and how to measure it. Roger suggested that the
building height should be the difference in elevation between the highest point on the
roof and the average of the footprint of the building footprint. In order to address sloped
lots, when the slope is greater than 20%, the project would be subject to DR.
Chairman Youde also addressed the up -zone issue and there was much discussion in
regards to up zoning.
Commissioner Feinberg questioned the city's involvement in fractional ownership
projects. Roger stated the city code is currently silent to fractional ownerships, and
suggested the code address them in the future to make sure that there is someone
"accountable" for these projects when necessary.

garage with a guesthouse above. NOT A PUBLIC HEARING.
John Ghio addressed the Commission and advised he has a house in McCall in
Evergreen Terrace that he would like to add a garage with an apartment above it.

McCall Area Planning and Zoning Commission
October 3, 2006 Minutes Page 2
of the requirements. Mr. Christianson said they are building a house that is very
similar to the picture that he showed to the Commission that appeared in a
national magazine. Commissioner Schoedler questioned Mr. Christianson as to
the similarities of the two residences and advised him to be very careful with
what they are doing due to copyright infringement.
Chairman Youde questioned the applicant above the trees and how many trees
will be cut within the building envelope.

SUB-06-7
Alpine Village
616 N. 3'd Street
The applications were submitted for preliminary plat, preliminary plan, conditional
use permit, rezone, scenic route and design review approval to construct a mixed
use project containing 4 buildings centered around a pedestrian mall on 4.9
acres. The pedestrian mall will connect 3rd Street and Railroad Avenue. The
proposed buildings contain 97 market rate condominiums, 8 community housing
condominiums, 14 off -site Community Housing Units, and approximately 31,000
sq. ft. of commercial space. A PUBLIC HEARING.
Michelle Groenevelt stated that the staff report had not really changed since the
last meeting and there weren't any additional materials submitted.
Staff is recommending approval for the reduction of parking spaces for the
following reasons: different commercial/residential peak hours and different types
of commercial uses have different peak hours, adjacent to public transit route
and pedestrian paths, the CCR's mentions no 'toy' storage in the parking area,
and number of residential units may end up as second homes.
The conditions of approval are all the same with the exception of condition
number twelve. Staff has taken the community housing plan and linked the final
community housing plan with the final plat of each phase. Therefore, when the
final plat of phase one is reviewed it will be up to Planning and Zoning to make a
determination if the community housing plan is appropriate for that phase.
McCall Area Planning and Zoning Commission
October 3, 2006 Minutes Page 3
Michelle Groenevelt stated that Alpine Village will be presenting their parks
proposal to the Parks & Recreation Advisory Committee on October 12, 2006.
The Parks Advisory Committee will then make a recommendation to City Council.
The applicant resubmitted a community housing plan. The following is summary
of the revised community housing plan:
Revised Plan: 97 market rate units (to accommodate more Community
Housing Units on -site, they have added one floor to a section of Building
3, thereby increasing the total building square footage of Building 3 by
approximately 9000 sq. ft. and the total percentage of building mass in
the Project which exceeds 35 feet from 8% to 11%. The applicant will
present additional elevations of this portion of the building for the
September 12 Meeting.)
Community Housing Requirement: 19.4 community housing units
Proposed C.H. Units On -site: 8
Proposed C.H. Units off -site: 14, calculated as follows:
Remaining required C.H. Units: 11.4
Off site "penalty": 125%
Total C.H. Off -site Requirement: 14.25 C.H. Units (fractional unit to be
covered by in lieu fee)
The phasing consists of the following:
Phase 1 (consisting of 35 market rate units): 8 C.H. Units On -site
(1 more than total required for Phase)
Phase 2 (consisting of 25 market rate units): One of the following:
(i) 5 off site units, or
(ii) 10 converted mobile home spaces converted to C.H. Units
Phase 3 (consisting of 37 market rate units): One of the following:
(depending on election in phase 2): (i) 9 more off site C.H. Units; or (ii) 10
converted mobile home spaces replaced with 14 off -site C.H. units.
*The applicant will confirm that suitable property has been acquired and
appropriately dedicated for the off -site units. All off site units will be completed
no later than 2 years after approval of Phase 3 Final Plat.
The Planning & Zoning Commission must recommend approval of the final plat
and final plan, City Council must also approve the preliminary and final plat, the
preliminary and final plan, conditional use permit, and rezone applications.
Mick Hormaechea with Alpine Village Company addressed the Commission and
stated they do not have any new information to present, although he did submit a
letter earlier in the week that addressed community housing plan, building height
and building setbacks. Mr. Hormaechea also said he would like some direction
from the Commission on what specific information they would like to discuss.
Commissioner Apperson asked the applicant to give them a brief overview of the
park proposal.
McCall Area Planning and Zoning Commission
October 3, 2006 Minutes Page 4
Mr. Hormaechea said they are offering a comprehensive event in lieu exchange
for the current requirement. The pedestrian plaza will be dedicated as a public
open space. The Alpine Village Property Owner's Association will retain all
maintenance requirements for it. They will make a connection from the
pedestrian plaza to the city campus improvement project.
Commissioner Apperson said she would like to see more public amenities. Mr.
Hormaechea advised the intention of this project was to make this plaza inviting
and user friendly to the public. Some of the potential options could include such
things as concerts, special events, public art, water features, or other activities.
Michelle encouraged the Commission to attend the Parks and Recreation
Advisory Committee meeting.
Chairman Youde asked Mr. Hormaechea to revisit the "toy storage" issues. Mr.
Hormaechea reiterated that the homeowner's association will require recreational
vehicles to be stored off site.
Chairman Youde asked Mr. Hormaechea to show the Commission and the
audience the proposed buildings that will exceed 35 feet.
Dave Peugh addressed the Commission to explain the design of the buildings
exceeding 35 feet. He said to create the most pedestrian friendly and
comfortable human scale it is important to create a one to one ratio of street
width to building height. He said it makes sense to elevate the buildings around
the central plaza to create a better human scale.
Chairman Youde shared some of his concerns regarding the reduction of the
parking spaces.
Commissioner Feinberg said that he remembers times where the Commission
took into consideration the reduction of parking regarding peak and off peak
uses. He feels that this is reasonable. Commissioner Feinberg asked Mr.
Hormaechea where he stands with a resolution with Bryan's Burger Den with
regards to the parking. Mr. Hormaechea said they have not met since the last
meeting.
Chairman Youde opened the public hearing on SUB-06-7, PUD-06-3, CUP-06-
17, ZON-06-1, SR-06-12, DR-06-20.
Joy Hamilton addressed the Commission and said she has spent a lot of time
looking at the plans and documents of this project at City Hall and that she is in
favor of this project. She said she is clearly against buildings over 35 feet in the
lake area or elsewhere, however feels that the way this was designed that it is
clearly less intrusive. She also is very much in favor of the pedestrian plaza
walkway.
Bob Miller representing Bryan Miller of Bryan's Burger Den addressed the
Commission. Chairman Youde advised Mr. Miller that his letter from September
29th has been distributed and made part of the public hearing.
McCall Area Planning and Zoning Commission
October 3, 2006 Minutes Page 5
Mr. Miller asked where the people will park that will be using the public parts of
the facility. He feels that a Friday night event in the summer will present a lot of
issues with parking. He feels the parking requirements in the code are very clear.
Mr. Miller also has issues with the setback. He feels this should be addressed
now instead of later when the development is already in place.
Commissioner Schoedler questioned Michelle regarding the parking and the
number of spaces required.
Wayne Ruemmele, Architect of the project, addressed the Commission and
explained in general the new set of ordinances that we are working under is
written to promote infill development, encourage multi -modal transport and
increase density in the center of McCall. He feels this project that does all of this
not to mention this is the first project of this type to apply to the Commission.
Commissioner Feinberg responded to Mr. Ruemmele's comments. He said the
problems that he sees is that not enough people from the community, including
architects like himself, give feedback.
Hearing no further testimonies, Chairman Youde closed the public hearing.
Mr. Hormaechea addressed the Commission to respond to the comments made
by Mr. Miller regarding parking and setback issues.
Commissioner Feinberg asked Mr. Hormaechea to continue talking with Mr.
Miller to get the issues resolved. Mr. Hormaechea advised that their intent is to
work out the issues with Bryan Miller and his attorney to resolve their concerns.
Chairman Youde asked Ms. Groenevelt if there were any additional issues. She
advised when this project comes for final plat approval at that point it will be up to
the Commission to determine if the property owners decide that they want their
projects to be adjoining grade, if not, there will need to be adequate screening to
make sure both properties are protected.
Chairman Youde discussed his concerns and comforts with this project. He said
he has been waiting for the applicant to address the issue of paying the in -lieu
fee to the City parking garage construction fund for some or all of the parking
reduction numbers. He is reluctantly but finally satisfied with the community
housing. He said he feels this is one of the better projects and more sensitively
designed large scaled projects for an area of town that the whole town has a
stake in.
Commissioner Jessup said that she isn't as concerned about the parking issue.
She said this is a pedestrian walkway. She said she would like to see the
community housing a little more defined in future phases.
Commissioner Apperson agrees with Commissioner Jessup regarding the
parking and it not really being an issue. She feels the unconventional park would
benefit the developer more than the community. She said that she is not
comfortable with the setback issue due to the testimony of the adjacent
landowner.
McCall Area Planning and Zoning Commission
October 3, 2006 Minutes Page 6
Commissioner Feinberg said that he feels the overall project is quality. He also
feels the vehicle storage issue can easily be addressed in their CCR's. He said
he does not have any concerns over the reduction in parking or the setback as
stated in the code. He said he feels this project is a real asset to the community.
Commissioner Feinberg said he would like to see them work something out with
Bryan's Burger Den.
Commissioner Schoedler said he feels that the in lieu part of the park is an asset
to the community and will serve more than a 5 acre park in a subdivision. He
said also the fact that it will be managed by the development instead of the Parks
department. He does not have an issue with the set back. He would like to see
an agreement between the property owners.
Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission recommend approval
of SUB-06-7, subject to conditions. Draft findings and conclusions for SUB-06-7
are attached.
A motion was made by Chairman Youde to approve SUB-06-7 with the
conditions recommended by Staff as summarized in the draft conclusions on
pages 4 & 5; Commissioner Schoedler seconded the motion; motion carried.

percent and will be mixed throughout the project. He said that their site is 2.2
acres and the parks density would be required for 2.3 acre of park so they are
not sure what to do. He said they have been talking with the Parks & Recreation
to see if the pool could be used for the community swimming programs and for a
swim team.
Jim Cecil addressed the Commission and said that they are having a problem
with the park requirement as it is calculated on 84 units and it doesn't take into
account the existing use of the building which currently has 77 units. They have
talked with Roger Millar and he advised them to talk with the Parks Committee.

that question.

Chairman Youde asked Mr. Brown about the issues of corrosion. He assured the
commission that they have taken that into consideration and have addressed
this.
Ed Hershberger, President of the Association addressed the Commission to
outline the CCR's and the design guidelines for the Sports complex. He said
they stand behind Hansen -Rice's design as it fully complies.
Mr. Hershberger also addressed the question on membership.
Chairman Youde opened the public hearing on DR-06-34.
Dave Holland, 1607 Davis (office) and resides at 1597 Mile High Drive. He is on
the board of directors for the Aspen Village and also the President of the
homeowners association of the time-share portion of Aspen Village. He said
there are some internal disagreements on the design of the building and how it
should function. He is definitely in favor of seeing this move forward. He feels
they have met all the requirements.
Susan Staats Unit #86 is opposed of the building as she feels there is no need
for a full athletic club, She feels it needs to be scaled down to a clubhouse. She
feels this is going to increase the fees to where they won't be able to afford to live
there anymore.
Bob Evans, Unit #62 is opposed to the Sports Complex. He said that this is
proposed to be located right in the middle of the complex verses right off of Davis
Street. He feels a Community Center works better than a Sports Complex. He
said that owners have presented another option, however it was never taken into
consideration. Mr. Evans said that owners have not been asked what type of
facility they would like to have
Pat Hansen Unit #92 and also representing unit 93, 94 and 100 said they are all
opposed to the complex as it is drawn. She said they feel they do not need a
second floor with an apartment that is not handicapped accessible and that the
original square footage of 10,000 sq ft is sufficient.
Dave Shurtleff Unit #60 is opposed to the project as he feels this does not
compliment Aspen Village. He said the building that burned was not an attractive
building and that now they have the opportunity to build something ascetically
pleasing.
Jack Hyatt Unit #65 said he is a licensed architect. Mr. Hyatt feels the
homeowners' input has been ignored. He said that they do not feel that the
building has been thought out. Mr. Hyatt said that he and Mr. Shurtleff were
asked to be on the board to design the sports complex. He feels that some the
interior elements do not make sense as well. He talked about some research of
other health clubs he conducted in the Boise area. He feels this was poorly
thought out. He and his continuance would like a continuance for 90 days to be
able to get the input from all the homeowners.

Chairman Youde asked the applicant if he'd like to respond. Mr. Brown said he
would like to clarify the intent of the design. He said a lot of the issues will be
clarified with Mr. Hershberger.
Commissioner Feinberg feels that the Commission should honor the
homeowner's request to give them 90 days to come back with a decision from all
the homeowners. He feels there is too much controversy among the
homeowners to make a decision. Commissioner Feinberg moved to continue
DR-06-34 to the regular January 2007 meeting; Commissioner Jessup seconded
the motion.
Chairman Youde reminded the Commission that the role of the Planning and
Zoning Commission is to determine if the project fits the McCall Design
Guidelines and not to get in the middle of the Home Owner's Association.
Commissioner Feinberg rescinded his motion to continue the project until
January 2007.
Commissioner Feinberg moved to deny the design review proposal;
Commissioner Jessup seconded the motion; motion carried.
There is an option to withdraw or amend.
