PUBLIC COMMENT
Mayor Giles called for public comment at 5:33 p.m.
Four (4) written comments are included as Attachment A.
Gary Thompson, 300 May Rd
Mr. Thompson is opposed to the proposed bar at 200 Lenora St. Mr. Thompson is a board member
of the church but spoke on his own behalf and not on behalf of the church. Additionally, Mr.
Thompson noted not being opposed to development but being opposed to a bar being so close to
any church. The bar being open during church service is not the only issue. Parking and noise are
also concerns.
Nancy Reberger, 124 Mather Rd
Ms. Reberger clarified that the decision should be a congregation decision and not just a board
decision. Ms. Reberger is speaking on her own behalf and not on behalf of the church asking for a
denial of the bar request at 200 Lenora St.
Lynn Lewinsky, 713 Broken Rein Rd
Ms. Lewinsky sent a written letter regarding a second mine next to Stibnite in the current comment
period. Ms. Lewinsky asked for Council to send a letter during the comment period mirroring the
letter sent on the Stibnite project.
Joey Petri, 225 Valley Spring Rd
Mr. Petri expressed support for the previous comments opposing the proposed bar at 200 Lenora
St.
Hearing no further comments, Mayor Giles closed the comment period at 5:47 p.m.

PRESENTATIONS
AB 23-024 ‘McCall Area Youth Council’ Fall Semester Presentation
Assistant City Planner Meredith Todd introduced the speakers for the McCall Area Youth Council.
Parker Ames, MAYC Chair, Ella Carey, voting member, and Jamison Greaves, Vice Chair
presented to Council. The MAYC has worked with City and School Staff to identify areas of
interest for the first school year, as well as explore community partnerships and MAYC programs
to support the needs of the youth community. The members have conducted a baseline survey of
High School age youth in the community to understand the role of adolescents in the local
economy. An additional survey was conducted with local restaurants regarding opportunities for a
youth discount program. Mr. Ames reviewed the establishment of the MAYC, the mission
statement created by the student members, and the demographics and findings of youth wages in
the community. Ms. Carey shared a story from one of the non-voting members of the council about
being a working member of the local youth community. The next goals for the MAYC include
learning about communication, using the committee webpage, and social media to connect with
local youth, and focusing on mental health throughout the youth community.
Mayor Giles expressed being very impressed with the MAYC. Melissa Coriell, staff liaison for the
McCall Donnelly School District, reviewed the formation of the Youth Council. Planner Todd
noted that the concept of the Youth Council is making ripples and waves through the community
and region. Council Member Maciaszek noted the added value to businesses to hire youth and
options to collaborate with high school students to be successful. Council Member Nielsen noted
the MAYC accomplished a lot in a short amount of time. Additionally, a great foundation for the
MAYC is being built. Council Member Nelson appreciated the MAYC considering mental health
issues for future goals.
AB 23-022 Presentation of the Valley County Opioid Response Project 2022 and Focus
Group Findings
Dr. Royce Hutson, Boise State University, presented the findings from the 2022 Valley County
Opioid Response Project. Dr. Hutson reviewed the history of the Opioid Response Project, grants
and funding available, and findings from the focus groups conducted. Vaping, marijuana, and
alcohol use have increased while prescription opioids and over-the-counter drug abuse have
decreased. Additionally, the use of alcohol by youth has shifted to outdoor use as opposed to indoor
use in scenarios such as house parties. The findings clearly illustrated that mental health issues and
boredom are driving factors in substance use. Dr. Hutson noted excitement for the MAYC noting
that engaging the youth of the community is a great first step.
Council Member Nelson commented on youth mental health and external stakeholders. Council
Member Nielsen noted there is not much change from 25 years ago. There is not much to do in the
community other than to go out and drink. Dr. Hutson noted the community is doing very well
compared to the rest of the state and the national average. Council additionally discussed stresses
in the community, the general mental health of the community, and activities for youth in the
community.

REPORTS
AB 23-021 Airport Advisory Committee Annual Report
Charles Jones, Chair of the McCall Airport Advisory Committee (AAC), provided an annual report
to City Council regarding the accomplishments of 2022 and selected focus items from the AAC
for upcoming years. The Airport Advisory Committee is established pursuant to Idaho Code
Section 50-210, to advise and make recommendations to the McCall City Council on matters
pertaining to the safety, operation, and maintenance of the McCall Municipal Airport. Mr. Jones
reviewed the number of landings at the airport, airport projects and snow removal, the airport open
house, safety improvements, and avigation easements.
Council expressed appreciation for the report.
PUBLIC HEARING
AB 23-023 Public Hearing regarding PUD-22-01, SUB-22-05 – Boydstun Place Subdivision
Preliminary Plat and Preliminary Planned Unit Development General Plan at
TBD Pinedale Street for Urban Design+Build– Continued from December 15,
2022
Council Member Thrower moved to open the public hearing. Council Member Maciaszek
seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council Member Thrower, Council Member
Maciaszek, Mayor Giles, Council Member Nielsen, and Council Member Nelson all voted
aye, and the motion carried.
An application for a Planned Unit Development Preliminary Plan and Subdivision Preliminary
Plat to construct 14 townhouse dwelling units on a 1.78-acre parcel. During the regularly scheduled
November 3, 2022, City Council meeting, the Council conducted a public hearing, requested
additional information, and voted to continue the hearing to the December 1, 2022, meeting.
During the December 1, 2022 hearing, the Council voted to continue the item to the December 15,
2022, meeting. During the December 15, 2022 meeting, the Council voted to re-open and continue
the public hearing to allow more time for staff and the applicant to gather documentation on the
following topics:
• The possibility of inclusion of deed-restricted local housing
• Whether the development would allow short-term rentals
• Confirmation that the site could be adequately served with sewer capacity
• What fire suppression-related improvements would be required
• A technical design analysis of the roof design relating to snow loading and drainage
The applicant has provided documentation relating to the above items. The staff has also prepared
a memo outlining the specific approval standards for preliminary Planned Unit Development
(PUD) and preliminary subdivision applications with an analysis of the subject application’s
compliance.
Chad Jones, the applicant representative, reviewed the questions asked that required a continuation
and the answers from the applicant. Mr. Jones referred to Sanel Tucakovic and Nick Louie to
MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 4 of 9
January 26, 2023 Regular Meeting
further review the deed restrictions and short-term rental limitations. Mr. Tucakovic noted the
development is open to considering deed restriction for a single unit and asked about the deed
restriction program. City Planner Brian Parker reviewed what the applicant would receive in return
for a deed-restricted unit. Mr. Tucakovic noted that the applicant is willing to deed restrict one unit
but is not considering the limitation of short-term rentals. Additionally, Mr. Tucakovic reviewed
the initial double-density plans but the Sewer District said no to enough sewer hook-ups on the
parcel to accomplish the double-density with deed restrictions. Mr. Jones reviewed the Sewer
District’s communication and availability, and communication with the Fire Marshall and Building
Official for fire suppression. Additionally, Mr. Jones explained the butterfly roof system, noting
the roof system is usually seen in Scandinavian areas. The butterfly roof system is also only over
the patio of the units and not over the living area. Council discussed with Mr. Jones the architecture
of the roof and the issue of ice dams forming locally on structures with similar roof styles.
Mayor Giles asked for clarification on the process to include the deed restriction unit in the PUD
before decisions are made. Attorney Nichols noted the deed restriction is a voluntary program and
cannot be imposed on the developer. Director Groenevelt noted the challenge in the preliminary
phase of the development is the time to get the deed restriction if the developer is willing. Mr.
Tucakovic expressed frustration over the drawn-out process, noting being unaware of the deed
restriction program having a developer incentive and the roof already being approved through the
Design Review process.
Planner Parker reviewed the documents in front of the Council and reviewed the criteria of
approval for PUDs as well as how the application meets each of the criteria. Attorney Nichols
noted the plat meets all the criteria. Director Groenevelt noted that part of the reason the project
has been a struggle is that most applications are more detailed in the initial submittal process.
Mayor Giles called for public comment at 7:32 p.m.
David Gallipoli, 200 Scott St
Mr. Gallipoli asked for Council to postpone the subdivision noting the sewer issues and the long-
term impacts that are unknown. Mr. Gallipoli reviewed the McCall Fire Department’s comments
to the County Commissioners regarding the emergency services being stretched thin due to growth.
Joey Petri, 225 Valley Springs Rd
Mr. Petri reviewed a previous build, Timbercrest, that suffered bankruptcy and poor building
quality. The PUD in front of Counsel is reminiscent of the Timbercrest project and offers no value
to the community.
The applicant, Nick Louie, does respect the comments from the public and plans to keep the money
in the community. The goal is not to suck money out of the community, the goal is to build the
community to be a place for kids to grow up and enjoy it. Mr. Tucakovic noted receiving several
calls on the property from other developers interested in building workforce housing. The plan is
not to entitle the property and then leave it and never come back again.
Attorney Nichols asked the applicant if the applicant reviewed the latest staff report. Mr. Jones
responded noting not having seen the new staff report and only received the meeting agenda.
MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 5 of 9
January 26, 2023 Regular Meeting
Deputy City Clerk Sarah Porter noted sending the agenda to Mr. Jones with a link to the meeting
packet on the website. Council and Attorney Nichols discussed possibly continuing the hearing so
the applicant can be fully aware of the staff report and conditions of approval. Council Member
Thrower noted the application is not as complete as previous applications. Director Groenevelt
stated that there is typically more information on the engineering side with elevations being
completed at the preliminary plat step of the process.
Planner Parker reviewed the conditions of approval for the application. Council Member
Maciaszek noted other items that the Council has been through with this application that is
typically completed ahead of time. He did not think that the Council was ready to approve the
application. Council Member Maciaszek was passionate about his expression of where the
application is currently. Council Member Nielsen expressed the same concern that the applicant
may have overlooked the conditions of approval and asked if the conditions of approval have
changed since the last meeting. Planner Parker noted the conditions of approval have not changed
from previous meetings. Council Member Nielsen noted the application has been incomplete from
the beginning and reflects on the overall project, the project is not beneficial to the community.
Applicant Nick Louie responded stating that money will be brought into the City and not taken
away from the City. Council Member Nielsen noted that developments cost the community more
than they bring into the community. Additionally, Council Member Nielsen stated that the shortfall
in EMS and health and safety personnel. Council Member Nelson expressed agreement with
Council Member Nielsen and the public comments, but policy needs to be followed within reason
and if the application meets all the conditions of approval the City needs to be consistent. The City
needs to get the authority in place so that the City has the infrastructure to support growth. Council
Member Maciaszek noted that the application cannot be viewed as fixing bigger issues within the
City. The application needs to be looked at and if it meets the requirements, it can be approved per
policy but there is not a complete packet on the application. Council Member Nielsen expressed
concern over drainage issues in the development.
Attorney Nichols reviewed the option to remand the application to staff to compile the list of
additional information that the application should provide to the City Council at a public hearing
to be scheduled.
Council Member Maciaszek moved to close the public hearing. Council Member Nielsen
seconded the motion. In a voice vote, all voted aye, and the motion carried.
Council Member Thrower moved to remand the application to staff to compile the list of
additional information that the applicant should provide to the City Council at a public
hearing to be scheduled. Council Member Nielsen seconded the motion. In a roll call vote
Council Member Thrower, Council Member Nielsen, Mayor Giles, Council Member
Maciaszek, and Council Member Nelson all voted aye, and the motion carried.
BUSINESS AGENDA
AB 23-020 Direction to Staff for the New 2023 Golf Course Rates and Fees
MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 6 of 9
January 26, 2023 Regular Meeting
Golf Professional David DiMartino presented to Council. As part of implementing the new Golf
Course management model, the Golf Course Advisory Committee (GCAC) was tasked with
making a recommendation to the Council regarding the establishment of golf equipment rental
rates, tournament fees, and miscellaneous fees for the 2023 season. These were previously
collected by the contracted Golf Pro. The GCAC and staff studied rates within the market area and
evaluated the cost of the equipment plus maintenance, as applicable, and recommends the
following categories be added to the city fee schedule:
• Cart rental rates for nine (9) holes, 18 holes, 20 use passes, and additional riders
• Locker rentals, Range tokens, Range passes
• Rental of Golf Club sets
• 2023 Tournament Entry rates will remain the same as in 2022. See attached for tournament
prices. The Tournament registration software, Golf Genius, assesses a credit card
transaction fee of 2.9% + $.30 for merchant banking fees. The GCAC recommends this fee
be charged to the tournament entrants. This payment platform will protect us from fraud,
ensure PCI compliance, and increase our authorization rates. This platform allows us to
broaden our scale of consumers with better efficiency.
• Commemorative bricks for installation in Golf Club Plaza. Like Centennial Plaza, the
City will sell and install bricks. This fee covers the brick, the inscription, and the
installation.
Council Member Nelson moved to direct staff to schedule a public hearing for the new rates.
Council Member Thrower seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council Member Nelson,
Council Member Thrower, Mayor Giles, Council Member Maciaszek, and Council Member
Nielsen all voted aye, and the motion carried.
AB 23-017 Reconsideration of Raz LLC Request Regarding Service of Liquor at 200 Lenora
Street within 300 feet of a Church
City Manager Anette Spickard presented to Council. Raz LLC is in the due diligence phase of
establishing a bar at 200 Lenora Street that would serve liquor within 300 feet of a church. The
plan for the bar at this stage is to add on to the building, about 20' single level, following the same
exterior motif. They plan to put a patio to the east for outside seating and games - corn hole, large
Jenga, and life-sized chess. The patio would be fenced in with a privacy fence, exact details are
yet to be decided. The business will be a bar with billiards, shuffleboard, darts, sports on the TVs,
light snacks (no kitchen), and beer, wine, and hard liquor. This application will also be heard at
Planning and Zoning. At the January 12 meeting Council reviewed the request along with a letter
from the McCall Community Congregational Church. The Council voted they had no objection to
the Raz LLC request as long as they did not serve alcohol prior to noon on Sundays. On January
13, 2023, staff received a new letter from the Church rescinding their first letter. Staff informed
the Council and asked if anyone would like to reconsider the matter. One Counselor asked that it
be scheduled for reconsideration. The applicant has been notified of the new letter and the
reconsideration request.
Attorney Nichols noted that the decision had been made but if any Council Member wanted to
reconsider, the City Council could because the decision was based on the church not having a
problem with the bar being in place and that information is now incorrect. The Council expressed
being in favor of revisiting the previous decision.
MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 7 of 9
January 26, 2023 Regular Meeting
Council Member Maciaszek moved to reconsider the issue. Council Member Thrower
seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council Member Maciaszek, Council Member
Thrower, Mayor Giles, Council Member Nelson, and Council Member Nielsen all voted aye,
and the motion carried.
Monica Tway, 203 E lake St.
Ms. Tway commented on the church letter and the timing of reconsideration. Council discussed
waiting until the conclusion of the church congregation decision in February. Mayor Giles clarified
that the City does have the authority to make an exception to the state law. Planner Parker noted
an application for a Design Review of the proposed bar will be heard at the March 7, 2023,
Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. Council discussed and agreed to have the
reconsideration on February 23, 2023, at the Regular City Council meeting.
AB 23-018 Request approval to enter into a professional service agreement with T-O
Engineering for engineering services related to rebidding and reconstruction of
Taxiway E for AIP 3-16-0034-2023
Emily Hart Airport Manager presented to Council. The City of McCall and T-O Engineers have
negotiated a scope of work and fee estimate for professional services for rebidding, construction
administration, and grant closeout for the reconstruction of Taxiway E at the McCall Municipal
Airport. An IFE (Independent Fee Estimate) was conducted by Armstrong Consulting Services for
Taxiway E Reconstruction. The percentage difference between the fee estimate submitted by T-O
Engineers in comparison with the Armstrong Consultants fee estimate is 7.46%. This is below the
10% guideline noted in FAA AC 150/5100-14E, Architectural, Engineering, and Planning
Consultant Services for Airport Grant Projects. Upon analysis of both estimates, the Airport
Manager believes that the fee estimate submitted by T-O Engineers is fair, reasonable, and
justified. The City of McCall has received concurrence from the FAA to enter into a professional
service agreement with T-O Engineers for engineering services related to rebidding and
construction of Taxiway E.
Council Member Nielsen asked if the FAA is paying for the engineering fees. Manager Hart noted
the FAA is paying for 90% of the engineering fees.
Council Member Thrower moved to approve a professional service agreement with T-O
Engineering for Taxiway E engineering services related to rebidding and reconstruction of
Taxiway E/AIP 3-16-0023-034-2023 and authorize the mayor to sign all necessary
documents. Council Member Nelson seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council Member
Thrower, Council Member Nelson, Mayor Giles, and Council Member Maciaszek all voted
aye, Council Member Nielsen no and the motion carried.
AB 23-019 Request to Adopt Resolution 23-01 Accepting ITD Aeronautics Division Grant
Offer for Airport Improvement Project (AIP) 033
Airport Manager Emily Hart presented to Council. The Idaho Transportation Department,
Aeronautics Division, has provided a grant offer for reimbursement of 5% of the total project cost
under AIP 033 (previously known as AIP 031). AIP 033 was completed between July and October
of 2022, and entailed resurfacing and rehabbing Runway 16/34, as well as constructing new
MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 8 of 9
January 26, 2023 Regular Meeting
Taxiway D.The total project cost for this effort is$2,298,000 for which an FAA grant funded 90%
of the project cost, and for which ITD has offered to match 114,899.11 within the enclosed grant
offer. ITD grant policies require the adoption of a resolution to accept the grant offer from ITD for
reimbursement of 5% of the total project cost under AIP 033. The City has paid a match of 5%
($114,899.11) as well.
Council Member Thrower moved to approve Resolution 23-01 to accept a grant offer from
the ITD Aeronautics Division for reimbursement of 5% of the total project cost under AIP
033 and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents. Council Member Nelson
seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council Member Thrower, Council Member Nelson,
Mayor Giles, Council Member Maciaszek, and Council Member Nielsen all voted aye, and
the motion carried.

This comment is submitted regarding Business Agenda Item AB23-017 Reconsideration of Raz LLC Request
regarding Service of Liquor at 200 Lenora St within 300 feet of a church. As a member of the McCall Community
Congregational Church, I am asking that the approval of RAZ LLC's request be rescinded. Our church, either the full
Board of Trustees or the congregation members, have not had the benefit of knowledge of this request or
discussion of it and the possible impact on our church. I believe approval from the church was given prematurely,
without proper consideration of the possible implications of the decision, and without participation from those
who should be and need to be involved in this decision. Please rescind the church's 'no objections' letter to give us
the opportunity to fully consider the request.

COMMENTS
January 26, 223
Page 1 of 4
January 26, 2023
To McCall City Council
Subject: Ms. Tway’s proposal for bar at 200 Lenora St.
I am respectfully requesting Council to reconsider approval of Ms. Tway’s request for a bar at 200
Lenora St. The approval of that request and the impact it and the plan for an adjoining outdoor
game/activity area with a food truck will have negative impacts on the McCall Community Church. It
also has potential impact on all churches in McCall.
Idaho code Title 23-1011B does not allow bars or taverns within 300 feet of a church (and schools). The
code does allow the governing body of the municipality to make an exception. The church is within 300
feet of the proposed bar and activity area. We understand such an exception was made on January 12,
2023, and that a letter from Pastor Marc Uebelhardt indicating the Church board did not have
objections to Ms. Tway’s plan may have influenced that decision. It was noted in a letter, dated January
11 but not delivered to City Council until Friday, January 13, that the Trustees and Pastor could not take
the position of not objecting to her plan. The earlier letter was rescinded.
Neither the entire church governing body or the congregation were informed of Ms. Tway’s request, and
matters such as this require transparent disclosure, discussion, deliberation and votes. None of those
things happened. I do believe this was largely because of Ms. Tway’s request to keep it quiet (see her
letter) as well last-minute information and timing issues.
If her request to have a bar at 200 Lenora is approved, what is the future for other McCall churches who
may be faced with a similar request?. Will the 300 feet state code be waived, and this approval be
provided as precedence?
I serve on the Board of Trustees as Treasurer and am well aware that this letter represents my concerns.
I do not have the authority or right to speak for the entire church. I have discussed my concerns with
other church officers.
Concerns:
1. There are reasons for the 300 foot “buffer zone” between bars and churches. To not honor that
should require time for transparency and comments by all involved. A bar and possible
accompanying activities and food truck have the unfortunate opportunity to change the
character of the area.
2. The church is more than Sunday worship. Some of the activities that use the church during
other hours are McCall Music Society practices and Sunday Sounds at 6 music performances,
other music programs such as recitals and camps (summer viola camp), weddings, funerals,
small meeting and gatherings, sewing groups etc.
3. The church wants to rededicate itself to truly becoming a community church with its facilities
available for use, especially for the downtown area.
a. We will be placing our church usage policy and procedures on our website to promote
availability of space at a very reasonable cost.
COMMENTS
January 26, 223
Page 2 of 4
b. We are brainstorming how we can help the community. Is there a way mothers/fathers
could meet with small children. We have a couple rooms outfitted as
classrooms/nursery. Are their youth groups, scouts etc. that might use the church
c. Having the area compatible with these activities is essential to the growth and mission
of the church.
4. Noise.
a. We do not have air conditioning and church windows are often open in the summer.
Thus noise from the bar and adjoining area can have a negative impact on activities held
at the church and thus interfere with the mission of the church.
b. The proposed bar itself will be noisy (see letter). It is not a restaurant with a liquor
license. It is a bar. Will they have live music at any of those areas? Will the bar have its
windows open? She has provided very little detail. Are those activities compatible with
the other establishments and the church? Again, there is a reason for the 300 feet.
5. Her proposal also brings up a concern about the alley between the church and 200 Lenora. The
alley is right next to the church and directly behind the “activity area.” Safety, security,
unwanted trash are all a concern because of proximity to bar.
6. Parking. It is limited already. Will parking be allowed in area by activity area and bar? Who will
monitor that the alleyway is not used for parking and other unwelcomed activities. Church
parking will be restricted to church usage.
I am not against bars in the right location. McCall has had its share of problems with noisy bars and
accompanying activities. 200 Lenora St. is not the right location. Please protect the buffer zone and
mission of our heritage church and reject Ms. Tway’s proposal.
