Director Whitescarver also reviewed Business After Hours events for January and February. Valley County Board of Commissioners Report Valley County Commissioner Sherry Maupin presented to the City Council. Commissioner Maupin noted that Valley County has hired a Wildfire Mitigation Specialist and education outreach will be improved going forward. Valley County has completed a Capital Infrastructure Plan to address appropriate staff spaces and building improvements needed. Additionally, Valley County approved a new expansion of the Road Department, and a new building will be built on Gold Dust Rd south of Cascade. Moving the Road Department out of Downtown Cascade will benefit the fairgrounds. The Waterways Management plan is in the implementation phase. Additionally, the Valley County Board of Commissioners received an update from Idaho Department of Fish and Wildlife that quagga mussels will not live in the local lakes and reservoirs due to high amounts of calcium. Valley County also completed a Transportation Master Plan and coordinated with City of McCall Staff during the process. Commissioner Maupin additionally noted future goals to have a Resource Management Plan. Council Member Nelson asked what Valley County considers a priority for resource management. Commissioner Maupin noted that when a county has a Resource Management Plan in place, any environmental reviews done by the Forest Service or other entities will consider the County Resource Management Plan first and try to obtain the vision within the plan. Housing is a resource priority for Valley County. Monthly Department Reports City Manager Anette Spickard noted the Airport Report included an update to infield development projects and staff working towards issuing a request for proposals to construct the new infield development project included in the Airport Master Plan. Mayor Giles thanked Airport Manager Emily Hart for the hard work and effort put into developing the airport. Council Reports Council Member Nielsen noted that the Winter Recreation meetings have been active regarding closed ski areas and the Granite Goose project that the Forest Service has opened public comment on. Council Member Nielsen additionally gave a brief overview of the Granite Goose project area. Another Joint Wastewater Advisory Group (JWAG) meeting was conducted. The JWAG meetings have been positive and collaborative to identify items to take action sooner rather than later to increase capacity. Manager Spickard noted that JWAG minutes will be included with the City Manager department report monthly. Council Member Nelson asked if the leak in the pond liner for the sewer pond had been discussed. Council Member Nielsen noted that there have not been any in-depth discussions on the sewer pond lining and the big focus has been on the inflow and infiltration issues affecting sewer capacity. PUBLIC IIEARING AB 24-010 Request to Approve CUP -23-07 —1300 East Lake Street — Expansion of Mile High Marina MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 5 of 21 January 11, 2024 Meeting Council Member Maciaszek moved to Open the Public Hearing. Council Member Nelson seconded the motion. ,In a voice vote, all voted aye, and the motion carried. City Planner Brian Parker presented to the City Council an Application for a Conditional Use Permit, Design Review, and Shoreline Environs Review to expand the Mile High Marina (Marina) and replace the existing log breakwater with wave attenuator infrastructure and include a publicly accessible dock area with approximately 90 additional boat slips and replacing the log boom wave break, covered walkway and opportunities for public art in the future. During their regularly scheduled November 7, 2023 meeting, the McCall Area Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously voted to recommend approval of the subject application with the conditions of approval identified in the Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Decision. The City Council Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and Decision document will be prepared and brought forward for review and approval at a future meeting. Planner Parker reviewed Conditional Use Permit standards of approval requirements in the City Code. Council Member Thrower asked if an environmental assessment was required and additionally asked for background on the discussion the Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) had on the application regarding environmental assessments. Planner Parker noted that the City Council can request a formal environmental assessment but there is not a requirement in the City Code. Council Member Nelson noted ex-parte conversations regarding the public hearing with the public including David Gallipoli's concerns about wake boats, Rick Fereday as part of the Boise State University Institute studying water issues in Valley County and, Lynn Lewinski about infrastructure and the Marina's impact on water and traffic. Council Member Nelson expressed that any conversations with the public outside of the public hearing has not had an influence on any decisions made by Council Member Nelson. Attorney Nichols noted that the disclosure requirements have been satisfied. Council Member Maciaszek also noted leasing a boat slip at the Marina for 15 years. Attorney Nichols noted that the disclosure has been made and the City Council can decide if Council Member Maciaszek has a conflict of interest. Mayor Giles expressed that Council Member Maciaszek did not have a conflict of interest and the Council agreed. Mile High Marina Representative Steve Millemann, Millemann Pemperton & Holm presented to the City Council. Mr. Millemann noted that McCall City Code 3.7.023 states that an environmental assessment can be required on issues identified by staff or the Commission prior to the application being filed as part of the pre -application process. Mr. Millemann reviewed the project and public amenities including 1100ft of ADA boardwalk constructed at no expense to the City or the public, collaborating with City staff on a non -motorized lake area between Brown Park and the Marina, and bollards to protect the pedestrian pathway between Legacy Park and Brown Park. Mr. Millemann acknowledged the community's passion regarding the lake and the issues with motorized and non -motorized users and expressed that denying the application is not going to reduce the number of boats on the lake and granting the application is not going to increase the number of boats on the lake. The Marina expansion will have positive impacts in terms of boat ramp congestion and parking as well as boater education. Mr. Millemann asked the City Council to hold the application and evidence presented during the hearing to the standards of the City Code and on the application's merits and impact. Any issues on Payette Lake will not be solved with the Marina Expansion and the same issues will not be exacerbated by the Marina Expansion. MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 6 of 21 January 11, 2024 Meeting Mayor Giles asked, for clarification on the statement that if the CUP is granted there would not be an increase in the number of boats on the lake. Mr. Millemann reviewed the original application and a supplemental letter provided in the record explaining a survey conducted for the first 100 people on the Marina slip waiting list. The survey concluded that an overwhelming majority of people on the wait list already own boats and designated Payette Lake as the primary body of water where the boat is used. Additionally, in the same survey, respondents currently trailer boats in and out of the lake since there are no slips currently available. The additional 90 slips provided by the expansion will be offered to those on the waitlist first with a majority of those on the waitlist not adding new boats to the lake since the boats are already being used on the lake by trailering in and out of the lake. Council Member Nielsen asked Mr. Millemann if boat owners who receive a slip would be more likely to use the boat more frequently. Mr. Millemann noted that a count on usage was not done but those on the waitlist already have boats that are being used on the lake. The usage data in the Waterways Management Plan shows lake users ramping in and out of the lake 20 to 30 times a season. Mr. Millemann speculated with his own observations that it is a rare occasion to see even half of the current slips unoccupied and noted there is not quantifiable data to answer Council Member Nielsen's question. Mr. Millemann noted that the Marina and fuel dispensers have been in operation since the late 1960s and the current owners have been operating the Marina since 2004. The Marina operates pursuant to three critical documents. An encroachment permit and submerged land permit from the State of Idaho, a state lease with the State of Idaho because there is commercial activity and a lease with the City of McCall. Both the City of McCall and State of Idaho leases expire in 2027 with an option to renew for 10 years. The City receives 4% of the gross receipts from slip rentals annually. The application includes replacement of the existing log boom that acts as a breakwater, but is not effective, with a state-of-the-art wave attenuator system. The installation of the wave attenuator system does not require pilings or penetration of the lake bottom. Instead, the wave attenuator system relies on concrete anchors that are placed on the lake bottom. The wave attenuator system will provide better protection to the Marina and the fuel dock components of the Marina and cost roughly 3 million dollars to complete. The additional boat slips will help offset the cost of the new wave attenuator system. On top of the wave attenuator system will be a 10ft deck with handrails to create a boardwalk on the lake open to the public during daylight hours. The pergolas that will be on the boardwalk will not obstruct the view of the lake in any way. A proposed maintenance agreement will be brought back to the City Council if the application is approved. The applicant and the Parks and Recreation department have discussed the expected maintenance obligations. Council Member Maciaszek asked if there has been any discussion on the public using the breakwater area to swim. Mr. Millemann noted conversations with City Staff regarding signage and railing to discourage the public jumping into the area around the breakwater and there will be no tie downs on the breakwater decking. Additionally, Mr. Millemann noted that most of the adverse written comments received were under the assumption that there will be 90 new boats on the lake and reiterated that the issues of lake capacity will not be resolved or impacted by the Marina expansion. Valley County started addressing lake capacity and use issues with the Waterways Management Plan with input from multiple stakeholders, public agencies and the public. As the dialogue around the Waterways Management Plan continues, the Marina will be an active participant. The Marina currently has a boater education program to help both motorized and non -motorized users understand where the MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 7 of 21 January 11, 2024 Meeting points of conflict are and where the shallow areas of the lake are. The owner of the Marina met with the Big Payette Lake Water Quality Council and learned about lakes such as Hayden Lake where boater education can have a large impact. Having additional slip owners at the Marina will increase the captive audience for boater education. Council Member Nelson asked about the increased boat hours on the lake and if any of the additional boat slips will be dedicated to daily rentals that will spend most of the time active on the lake. Mr. Millemann expressed that as represented to the state, daily rentals are not the intention of the additional boat slips. The additional slips will be rented to the public on a first come, first served basis and it is anticipated that the slips will contain powerboats. Mr. Millemann also noted that the application is in line with the City Comprehensive Plan which calls out the need for a publicly accessible boardwalkon the water. Additionally, the application has been through other processes which involved public input including the application for the state encroachment permit which required formal notice to agencies such as the Department of Environmental Quality, Idaho Department of Fish and Game and the Army Corps of Engineers. The Big Payette Lake Water Quality Council (BPLWQC) was not included in the distribution list for the state application, but the applicant did provide a BPLWQC a copy of the application separately. The State statutes allow for any person or agency to request a public hearing for the application, no request was made, and the permit was issued. The application was heard by the McCall Area Planning and Zoning Commission where additional public notices and comment periods were made available to the public as well as the agencies that were notified during the state application process. Mr. Millemann noted that environmental assessment is not required and there is not a requirement to have a spill plan, but staff indicated a desire to have a spill plan in place with the expansion. The applicant has created a spill and prevention control plan that has been reviewed by staff and an expert hired by the Marina. After multiple revisions, a detailed formal spill protocol is now in place. Mr. Millemann Additionally noted communication with Big Payette Water Quality Council prior to filing any application. Mr. Millemann also noted work to mitigate sediment disruption during the boardwalk/Breakwater construction. Mr. Millemann expressed that the applicant has gone well beyond the requirements of McCall City Code and the project will improve the fueling stations that are currently in place and the water quality will not be affected by the project. Mr. Millemann noted a comment from the Idaho Conservation League that explained the process and permitting the applicant would need to go through at the state level. The applicant has gone through the correct permitting processes and that information was provided in the application. The application will not produce an increased number of boats and the Marina is sensitive to the proper use of the lake. Mayor Giles expressed that Mr. Millemann' s review of the application has been helpful to the City Council. Mayor Giles also appreciated the applicant's willingness to work with City Staff and other organizations in the process of the application. Council Member Thrower asked if there was any potential to discover increased milfoil in the lake. Mr. Millemann noted that the applicant has had a program in place to mitigate milfoil at the Marina every season and the applicant is willing to improve that process as well. Council Member Nielsen asked if there is a parking gain and information on the parking impacts of the project. Mr. Millemann noted that the Marina is not required to have parking since the Marina was part of the Urban Renewal District. McCall City Code exempts businesses that participated in Urban Renewal MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 8 of 21 January 11, 2024 Meeting Districts from parking requirements. The public currently comes to the Marina to put their boat in the lake and then park in public parking with a boat trailer. The change with the project is that those with a boat slip will have no reason to congest parking with a trailer because their boat will already be in the water. Mayor Giles called for public comment at 7:15p.m. Written comments received are included as Attachment 2. John Lewinski, 606 Syringa Dr Mr. Lewinski noted working at the water treatment plan for 15 years and has seen turbidity issues increase over the years. Mr. Lewinski expressed that the Marina project is going to have an impact on water turbidity especially with the construction happening at the water intake and asked the City Council to put off the construction of the project until the water treatment plant is improved. David Gallipoli, 405 Floyd St Mr. Gallipoli asked the City Council to deny the application noting pollution to the lake, increased greenhouse gasses and failure to meet zoning standards including detriment to health safety and welfare impact, harmful impact to the lake and shoreline, unreasonable traffic, and pollution and noise. Additionally, adding more boats disrupts the tranquility of the lake. Mr. Gallipoli additionally asked the City Council to listen to the science regarding lake pollution that comes with adding more boats to the lake and expressed that the public boardwalk is not an acceptable tradeoff for water quality. Claudia Delaney, 1303 Mill Rd Ms. Delaney expressed that the boat survey may not be fact and the survey does not predict future boat use. Ms. Delaney additionally asked the City Council to deny the application noting the Source Water Protection Plan and the Comprehensive Plan. Ms. Delaney believes the project will have a negative impact on the community with more water and air pollution and increased potential for spills, turbidity and traffic congestion. Ed Elliot, 1840 Warren Wagon Rd Mr. Elliot read a letter from Ann Loyd Edwards noting that Ms. Edwards lives in the house she was born in on Payette Lake and she is 90 years old. Ms. Edwards has lived in McCall for 90 years and enjoys the clear lake water and has taught many kids how to swim in the lake, but the impact of motorized boats has made swimming in the lake unsafe. Ms. Edwards requested that the City Council deny the application as it is dangerous and unnecessary. Mr. Elliot also made personal comments noting serving time on the Payette Lakes Recreational Water and Sewer District Board during the time the sewer system was being put in the lake and the threat at that time was human waste. Before the improvements to the system there were obvious leaks from septic systems into the lake. There have been profound changes to the lake with increased boat traffic and the byproduct of burning fossil fuels on the lake. Mr. Elliot asked the City Council how often the water is tested for by products of fossil fuels. The greatest concern is climate change, 2023 was the hottest year on record and the snowpack is shrinking across the northern hemisphere. Mr. Elliot expressed that there is zero data to back up the applicants' claim that the increased slips will not increase boat traffic on the lake. Additionally, Mr. Elliot passionately expressed that the Climate Action Plan is essentially meaningless if the Marina MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 9 of 21 January 11, 2024 Meeting Expansion is approved, and this moment is a defining moment for the community. Will the community be part of the problem or part of the solution? Nancy Basinger, 302 Mather Rd Ms. Basinger noted being impressed with the accessibility of meetings for the public and seeing the City Council's desire to do what is best for the community at large. Ms. Basinger noted appreciation for the attention to detail of the proposed construction and the inclusion of a public boardwalk but questioned the idea of the increased Marina footprint not putting increased boats on the lake. The benefits to the community do not outweigh the potential danger to the water quality. Sadie Noah, 481 Tim Street Ms. Noah thanked the City Council for the opportunity to comment and spoke in favor of the CUP. The Marina Expansion is an incredible opportunity for a private business to create a legacy project for McCall. Ms. Noah has an office downtown and enjoys spending time walking by the Marina to Brown Park. Additionally, Ms. Noah noted visiting Coeur d'Alene and the incredible public boardwalk that is connected to City parks. The accessibility of the boardwalk is a major improvement to benefit the community. Joey Petri, 225 Valley Springs Rd Mr. Petri noted that Mr. Millemann gave a very detailed report but expressed that the City is going in the wrong direction. There needs to be boats taken out of the lake not put into the lake. If boats are going to be added to the lake, then human and wind power boats need to be encouraged over powered boat users. Tuck Miller, 437 Willhelm Creek Ct Mr. Miller noted reading the entire application and passionately expressed that City staff did not do quality work. Mr. Miller specifically noted the letter from Parks and Recreation Director Kurt Wolf expressing that the additional slips will not increase boat traffic. Additionally, the greenhouse gas inventory was presented to the City Council two weeks ago by City Staff. Mr. Miller reviewed how much greenhouse gases will be emitted by the additional boats using the City of McCall Greenhouse Gas Inventory calculations, 90 boats will emit 810,000 to 1M pounds of CO2 annually. Research on wakeboard boats shows that new model boats will be putting exhaust into water instead of air so that the surfer does not have to breathe it in. Lynn Lewinski, 713 Broken Rien Ms. Lewinski asked that the City Council consider the water quality and future of the lake when making a decision. Deb Fereday, 315 Burns Rd Ms. Fereday noted that the Big Payette Lake Water Quality Council (BPLWQC) is a volunteer board and did meet with the applicant and representative and the BPLWQC is opposed to the project. Ms. Fereday passionately expressed that the City and County need to be more proactive about the water quality and get a lake management plan in place. There needs to be enforceable regulations on the lake. Ms. Fereday suggested implementing a launch fee and one day of non - motorized activity on the lake. Additionally, Ms. Fereday noted that the BPLWQC missed the notification for the Idaho Department of Lands meeting and were not notified of the meeting by other means. MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 10 of 21 January 11, 2024 Meeting Tom Forestell, 1303 Warren Wagon Rd Mr. Forestell expressed being shocked that the project has gotten as far as it has, the current standards are not enough. The application should not move forward without adequate studies and none of the new slips should be considered for rental if the project moves forward. The project will impact wildlife and water quality. What is the benefit to the people who live, work and recreate in the area? Additionally, the facts in the application are only supported by non -official information and not official studies. Mr. Forestell encouraged the City Council to carefully consider the matter and require additional studies to determine the impact on the lake and the quality of life of citizens and visitors. Traffic on the lake and in town has increased and will continue to increase with the approval of the project. Melissa Forestell, 1303 Warren Wagon Rd Ms. Forestell noted being a part time resident of McCall since the 1990s and voiced concern on the impact of the project on the lake. Payette Lake is the crown jewel of McCall, and the focus should be on the preservation of the lake. Additionally, boating deaths surged nearly 25% in 2020 compared to 2019, boats sold to first time buyers increased but boating safety decreased. Ms. Forestell expressed that the survey conducted on the slip waitlist members is insufficient. Boaters will be on the lake more when they have easier access to their boats. Ms. Forestell also noted an increase in paddleboards, kayaks and swimmers on the lake and there are safety concerns with more motorized boats on the lake mingling with non -motorized users. Matt Murphy, 957 Flynn Lane Mr. Murphy expressed appreciation for everyone's stance on the project. Mr. Murphy has been living in McCall for a long time and has a boat in the Marina. Positive first impressions of McCall have increased with Legacy Park and Brown Park improvements. People come to McCall in the summer for the lake. Additionally, as Boise and the surrounding areas grow, so does the use of McCall. Coeur d'Alene has a very similar Marina with a boardwalk. A boardwalk would add value to the area and community. Mr. Murphy also noted that most people who have slips are tax paying homeowners. Additionally, Mr. Murphy disagrees with the idea that adding slips will increase boat traffic. Even if the Marina was removed it wouldn't decrease the number of boats on the lake. The City needs to profit from the assets of the lake and implement fees for the boat launch area and use those funds to improve infrastructure around water treatment. The breakwater is currently terrible and unsafe. David Cranes, 3855 Warren Wagon Rd Mr. Cranes expressed support for the proposed expansion of the Marina and expressed that the project is in the best interest of the citizens of McCall and visitors. Mr. Cranes currently has a slip at the Marina. The project will have a positive impact to enjoy the lake and cut down on traffic at the boat ramp. The boardwalk would benefit those without boats to enjoy the lake on the lake and not from the edge of the lake. Mr. Cranes expressed that the applicant has been proactive instead of reactive in handling the application. Barb Schwenk, 1329 Greystone Ms. Schwenk is in support of the Marina expansion and noted that the project will be an asset to the City. John Schwenk, 1329 Greystone MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 11 of 21 January 11, 2024 Meeting Mr. Schwenk expressed being in support of the Marina expansion and noted that growth is coming to Idaho. Mr. Schwenk has lived in Idaho his whole life and expressed that the City needs to channel growth and use it as an opportunity. Mr. Schwenk is a boat owner with a slip at the Marina and noted that the lake is calm in the evenings. Additionally, boats in the Marina pose less risk of invasive species being added to the lake. There is very limited public access on the lake and the Marina expansion will tie in well with the improvements to Legacy Park and Brown Park as well as provide an opportunity for the public to enjoy the lake. Peter Blanton, 1357 Greystone Mr. Blanton expressed support for the Marina expansion and is a current slip holder at the Marina. The project will benefit the citizens and tourists. Improvement to the breakwater will add an amenity to the lake for people who do not have boats to enjoy the lake. Mr. Blanton believes the applicant has been diligent in working with staff and seeking the appropriate approvals at the State level. Loretta Olmstead, 507 Sunset St Ms. Olmstead expressed support for the Marina expansion. The breakwater improvement is needed to prevent damage to boats housed in the Marina. Ms. Olmstead has been a Marina slip renter for over 20 years and noted improvements previously made when the current owner took over the Marina. Additionally, weekends are congested at the boat ramp and more slips will help alleviate the congestion. Ms. Olmstead expressed being impressed by the applicant's due diligence. The City cannot stop progress but can plan for it. Dean Hastrider, 1325 Greystone Dr Mr. Hastrider expressed being in favor of the expansion and thanked the City Council for the work done by the City Council. Mr. Hastrider expressed that 90 additional boat slips equate to 90 less trailers parked on the streets. Every weekend of the summer there are trailers parked on the City streets. Mr. Hastrider has a slip at the Marina and noted that the Marina is full most of the time. Additionally, 90 extra slips do not equal 90 boats on the water every day. The addition of the boardwalk is an amazing asset to the community and the Marina is an asset without the improvements. The service provided at the Marina is amazing with the best trained employees. Christy Tresham, 1791 Warren Wagon Ms. Tresham has been a full-time resident of McCall for two years and is a first -year slip owner after being on a waiting list. The Marina has amazing employees and owners. Ms. Tresham expressed support for the expansion and the boardwalk for the community. Additionally, most of the time boats sit in the slips and do not utilize the lake as often as those who launch their boats. Susan Farber, 302 Mather Rd A8 Ms. Farber is strongly in favor of the expansion, particularly for the boardwalk. Ms. Farber has watched the lake for over 70 years and is familiar with the lake. Additionally, Ms. Farber hopes the City Council will address non -motorized utilization of the lake and safety. Ms. Farber has a pontoon boat at the Marina and expressed the importance of ADA accessibility to the lake noting that the board walk will have a huge impact on the disabled community. Dan Largent, 1085 Chip Shot Dr Mr. Largent has been a McCall resident for 16 years and is in favor of the Marina Expansion. Mr. Largent noted spending time at the Marina in the summertime and expressed how the boardwalk MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 12 of 21 January 11, 2024 Meeting would be a great asset to the City. Additionally, most boats stay parked in the Marina and the expansion will take pressure off the neighborhood parking and boat launch traffic. Hearing no further comments, Mayor Giles closed public comments at 8:32 p.m. The City Council took a break returning at 8:46 p.m. Mayor Giles expressed distaste for a negative comment regarding the 3 -minute time limit for public comments and how the applicant should only get a 3 -minute rebuttal. Attorney Nichols noted that the applicant has a right to address comments made both written and oral and state law provides that the response by the applicant cannot be limited. Parks and Recreation Director Kurt Wolf also responded to comments made by the public. Director Wolf noted that the Parks Department and the Marina have had a long and positive relationship, and the Marina expansion has been discussed for years, including the non -motorized area next to the Marina. There is an issue on the lake as it relates to capacity and the types of users but projects like the expansion are a great opportunity to educate and manage capacity and user types into the future. It is unlikely that additional public shoreline will be acquired by the City and the boardwalk is a great addition in place of additional public shoreline. Director Wolf noted the maintenance costs of the boat launch and how the revenue the City receives from the Marina helps offset the costs of the boat launch maintenance. Additionally, the maintenance of the public areas the expansion will improve and be maintained by the applicant and a maintenance agreement will come back to the City Council for approval if the application moves forward. A launch fee at the boat ramp was researched as part of the Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Plan and staff plans to bring further information to the City Council in the future. Council Member Nielsen asked what the City's financial obligation is to the project. Director Wolf noted that the only obligation of the City will be provided in the maintenance agreement that will come back to the City Council in the future. Council Member Nielsen asked about the ADA access and if the City will be funding the ADA access improvements needed. Director Wolf noted that the Marina will build ADA access to the existing bike path. Council Member Nielsen asked how many accessible parking spaces will be available in the vicinity of the ADA accessible ramp. Director Wolf noted that without looking at the drawings a definitive answer cannot be provided but it does make sense to provide ADA parking spaces near the ADA access. Applicant Representative Steve Millemann addressed the City Council in rebuttal to public comments. The expectation of the applicant is zero City financial contribution to the project construction including any ADA facilities to the street. Additionally, Mr. Millemann noted that the City engineer has been extremely involved in addressing the turbidity concerns surrounding the project. The testimony demonstrates the importance of efforts by Valley County, having primary jurisdiction over the lake, to continue work on the management plan and understanding how to address user conflicts on the lake is critical but does not specifically affect the application. Mr. Millemann also noted the expert analysis included with the application addressing the turbidity issue brought up during testimony. The Department of Environmental Quality has received ' notification of the application and has not commented negatively on the application. Additionally addressed was the survey of current slip owners and those on the slip wait lists. Even if the new slips are filled with all new boat owners, the Waterways Management Plan concludes that there continues to be capacity on Payette Lake. There will be days when the lake is congested, MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 13 of 21 January 11, 2024 Meeting specifically holidays. Mr. Millemann reviewed user satisfaction from data and statistics in the Waterways Management Plan. Mr. Millemann used Hayden Lake as an example of how the Marina can focus on education and regulation of depth of water to manage the lake. Education of boaters is included in the Waterways Management Plan. Additionally, Mr. Millemann reviewed the evidence in front of the City Council and how the application meets the CUP criteria, noting that a lot of attention has been given to the water intake next to the Marina. The applicant endorses the implementation of a launch fee at the boat ramp. The application is consistent with the City's Comprehensive plan and there has not been one public comment about neighborhood detriment, but many comments expressed the possible positive parking impact the project will have. Mr. Millemann asked that the City Council follow the correct process in reviewing the records that are part of the public hearing and apply the records to the twelve standards in the City Code. Council Member Nelson asked for legal counsel's advice on the lease agreement for the Marina in regard to additions to the Marina. Attorney Nichols noted that the term in the lease makes it clear that there cannot be any expansion of the Marina without going through the proper processes in the code and does not bind the City Council to a predetermined decision for any application as each application has to stand or fall on its own. The language in the lease is more of a warning to the Marina that there cannot be an expansion without following proper procedures. Attorney Nichols additionally reviewed public hearing procedure and noted that if the City Council has questions that will factor into the Council's deliberations, it is preferred that those questions are asked while the public hearing is open so that there is an opportunity to have those questions answered by the applicant or staff. For example, questions that may be applied to the criteria for the CUP. Council Member Nielsen noted that there have been a lot of comments on the factual and hard evidence impacts and expressed that it is factual that the expansion will allow more boats on the lake. 90 new slips will mean 90 less trailers being parked but that also allows 90 more trailers to have parking and suggests an environmental impact. Where is the proof that there will be fewer boats on the lake? Mr. Millemann reviewed the survey of slip waiting list members and noted not having stated that there will be less boats on the lake. There is no record to equate 90 more boats to environmental damage and the Waterways Management Plan has data on the capacity of the lake, even if 90 more boats are added to the lake there is no drastic impact to the capacity of the lake. Additionally, Boats will find a way on the lake regardless of approval of the application. Council Member Nielsen noted that everyone is in agreement on the goal to protect the lake but at what point does the City draw the line and take action to curb the impact the human factor is having on the lake. Denying the application is not going to solve environmental issues but it is one piece of the problem and if the City does not openly invite more boats to the lake, the City can make a statement that the lake is important to the community, more important than money. Mr. Millemann expressed that denying the application is a small blow in favor of protecting the lake. The applicant also cares about the lake and has gone above and beyond requirements and hired experts to analyze issues that were presented during the application process. The expansion is also a tremendous public benefit. Denying the application is not going to have an effect on the issues the lake may face. The community needs to work with Valley County, as the jurisdictional entity, on implementing the Waterways Management Plan to eliminate any degradation of the lake. Council Member Nielsen expressed appreciation for the applicant's efforts put into the application. MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 14 of 21 January 11, 2024 Meeting Council Member Thrower asked Mr. Milleman if the Waterways Management plan addresses the environmental capacity of the lake in terms of fuel load, wake boats and turbidity. Mr. Millemann highlighted Hayden Lake Marina and how the Marina has had a positive impact on water shed environmental impact mitigation even with a much more heavily developed water shed than McCall. Hayden Lake Marina limits the environmental impacts of wake boats through regulation of depth of use with 90% cooperation and instituted a water shed taxing district to have the funds to implement programs to address environmental concerns. The Waterways Management plan does not address the environmental capacity of the lake. Council Member Thrower asked about the depth of the break water. Council Member Maciaszek noted that the depth is at least 50 feet. Council Member Maciaszek participated in the creation of the Waterways Management Plan and noted that the plan includes implementing no wake zones and depth concerns are included in the plan as well. Council Member Maciaszek expressed that the application in front of City Council is a land use application and is not about whether or not Valley County should be putting in buoys at 500 feet. Council Member Nielsen also asked about exhaust going into the water. Council Member Maciaszek noted that there are two discussions happening, one about the application and one about protecting the lake which is not related to the application. The number of boats on the lake will be the number of boats on the lake regardless of the application. The City Council needs to stay focused on the application. The application is not about whether or not a wake boat or an old sailboat with a leaking motor is the issue. Council Member Nielsen noted that 90 more boats on the lake is 90 more boats on the lake. Council Member Maciaszek passionately expressed that anyone could come and trailer a boat into the lake at any time regardless of the application outcome. Mr. Millemann again asked the City Council not to base findings on speculation and to rely on the evidence and records provided. Council Member Nelson moved to Close the Public Hearing. Council Member Nielsen seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council Member Nelson, Council Member Nielsen, Mayor Giles, Council Member Maciaszek, and Council Member Thrower all voted aye, and the motion carried. Council Member Nelson expressed an interest in continuing deliberations to a future meeting as there is a lot of information to consider. Additionally, Council Member Nelson expressed concern on how the application aligns with CUP requirements when it comes to causing any damage to a natural resource. Council Member Maciaszek expressed that the application goes back to planning documents and years of planning with community input. Community access has been in the plans for years around the Marina. Additionally, the City is fortunate to have Kurt Wolf as the Parks and Recreation Director always working towards the goals outlined in the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan took years of public input and captures the desires of the community. The application meets the concepts in the City planning documents. Additionally, the breakwater needs improvements, and a wave attenuator could make a big difference in turbidity of the area. Council Member Maciaszek expressed that the application meets the code requirements for the criteria of a CUP. The Planning and Zoning commission put in the time and effort in reviewing the application and unanimously recommended approval. A lot of the public input received relates to larger community issues and not the application directly. MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 15 of 21 January 11, 2024 Meeting Council Member Thrower expressed interest in more time to review the application. Council Member Nielsen agreed. Additionally, the fact is that 90 more boats will be floating in the water regardless if those boats are used on the lake or sit in the slips. The City needs to start making an effort to curb the impact on drinking water and the asset that provides a livelihood for so many in the community. Council Member Nielsen also agreed with Council Member Maciaszek that the application meets the criteria of a CUP. The line of questioning and comments conclude that the community wants to have conversation regarding the quality of the lake. Boats can sit on the water and not be used or be used every day. The City needs to start making some effort to curb the impact on drinking water and the assets that provides for so many in the community. Council Member Nielsen agrees with Council Member Maciaszek that the application meets the criteria of a CUP, but it could also be argued that there may be long term negative economic impact should the condition of the lake deteriorate. Mayor Giles agreed with Council Member Maciaszek on the application meeting the criteria of a CUP and also agrees with the rest of the City Council that more time is needed to discuss the application. There is a lot of data and public input to consider. The City Council needs to focus on the application which is separate from boat launch fees and regulations on the lake. Attorney Nichols cautioned the City Council on receiving any additional information because the public hearing is closed. The City Council will need to not receive any additional information regarding the application outside of the meeting and information in the record between now and the February 8, 2024 meeting in order to follow state law. Council Member Thrower moved to Table the matter for deliberation at the February 8, 2024 Council meeting. 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. AB 24-011 Request to Approve a modification to the Development Agreement associated with PUD-18-01 — Saint Luke's Planned Unit Development located at 1000 State Street for the Construction of an Ambulance Shelter Council Member Nelson has recused. Council Member Nielsen moved to Open the Public Hearing. Council Member Thrower seconded the motion. In a voice vote, all voted aye, and the motion carried. City Planner Brian Parker presented to the City Council. An application to amend the Development Agreement (second amendment) for the St. Luke's McCall Hospital Expansion (PUD-18-01) to entitle an Ambulance Facility as an allowable use for the hospital site. During their regularly scheduled November 7, 2023 meeting, the McCall Area Planning & Zoning Commission held a properly noticed public hearing and unanimously recommended approval of the subject application. During their regularly scheduled December 5, 2023 meeting, the McCall Area Planning & Zoning Commission held a properly noticed public hearing and approved the Design Review application for the proposed ambulance facility, conditioned on the City Council approval of the development 'agreement modification. MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 16 of 21 January 11, 2024 Meeting Council Member Nielsen asked if the modification would affect the snow storage or any previously approved conditions. Planner Parker noted that the parking is a challenge in the area and the modification does take away some parking. There will be a snow melt system installed in the parking area to manage the snow storage. The applicant did not elect to present. Mayor Giles called for public comment at 9:52 p.m. No public comments were received. 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. The City Council had no concerns regarding the application. Council Member Maciaszek moved to approve PUD-18-01 the second amendment of the Development Agreement for McCall Memorial Hospital District and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents. Council Member Thrower seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council Member Maciaszek, Council Member Thrower, Mayor Giles, and Council Member Nielsen all voted aye, and the motion carried. AB 24-012 Request to Uphold the McCall Area Planning & Zoning Commission Decision to Deny AA -23-12 for the Use of Waterskis on the Roof of the Structure Located at 200 East Lenora Street Attorney Nichols reviewed the City Council's process for the appeal of a planning and Zoning Commission at the request of Mayor Giles. The City Council is to look at the record provided with the appeal and public comments received. The question before the City Council is how the item meets or does not meet the City Code. Does the structure as built meet the design standards in the City code or not? Council Member Nelson moved to Open the Public Hearing. Council Member Maciaszek seconded the motion. In a voice vote, all voted aye, and the motion carried. City Planner Brian Parker presented to the City Council. An appeal of the Administrator's decision to deny an application to utilize waterskis as a roofing material. During their regularly scheduled September 12, 2023 meeting, the McCall Area Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously voted to uphold the Administrator's decision to deny the subject application. The applicant requested to appealithe Planning & Zoning Commission's decision within 10 days of receiving the signed Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and Decision document reflecting the Commission's decision. The Skis were installed before applying for approval with the City. The Application was submitted after construction and staff determined that the materials did not meet City code design requirements. Snow shedding is not a concern but there is concern for ice dam build up causing the skis to pop off in the future but there is no way to know for sure since they were installed before applying to the City or providing any plans. Clearly does not meet design standards and the applicant has recognized. Public comment has been in favor of keeping the skis but is not possible under the current code. The City Council can have a discussion at a later date about possible changes to the design standards but that does not impact the decision in front of the City. Council. MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 17 of 21 January 11, 2024 Meeting Council Member Maciaszek asked if there needs to be a change to the City Code and noted that the City Council will not be addressing variances to the code on a case -by -case basis as it is not in the best interest of the community. Appellant Cade Huskinson presented to the City Council noting staff correctly explained how events transpired and the skis were put up before applying to the City for approval. Mr. Huskinson expressed being unsure of what the right avenue is to address the issue and chose to appeal as an opportunity to have a discussion. There has been a huge outpouring of support from the community to keep the skis in place. It is against code but does fit into the Comprehensive Plan and the vision for the downtown core. Mr. Huskinson expressed that the skis were installed to tell the story of what McCall is about. Additionally, the skis do shed the snow well compared to the previous roofing material. Mr. Huskinson stated being told by the City Building Official John Powell that the changes to the building did not need inspection or a permit. The weight of the skis is on the infrastructure holding the skis and not on the roof. Mr. Huskinson is willing to take the skis down at the end of every summer if necessary and keep them as a temporary art installation for safety and is not denying that the skis do not meet City Code. Mayor Giles thanked Mr. Huskinson for going through the process. The City Council generally does not change code project by project. Regardless of the outcome of the decision Mayor Giles wants to ensure that Mr. Huskinson feels valued as a business owner in the community. Council Member Maciaszek expressed appreciated for the approach of the applicant. The City Council's obligation is to decide if it meets the code, but the City Council can consider looking at changes in the City Code at a later date. The City Council always wants to follow the community's wants and needs and support businesses but also has a responsibility to follow the code. The City Council questioned if the skis could be considered as public art. Council Member Nielsen expressed excitement and appreciation that the applicant has brought an appeal forward. Council Member Nielsen additionally expressed previous issues regarding the design code and passionate views on the City Code and the Comprehensive Plan clashing. Council Member Thrower noted that comments from the community express a problem with the code. Additionally, Council Member Thrower expressed appreciation for regulation, but the community has made it clear that there are some amendments to consider. Council Member Nielsen expressed a need for a path for the applicant to take to move forward. Mayor Giles noted the code revision may be a good topic at the City Council retreat if it is a priority for the Council. Council Member Nelson agreed with other members of the City Council and expressed that it is a priority when the public interest is clear. The skis are within the framework of the town but not in the framework of the code. Council Member Maciaszek noted that staff are accountable to the City Council and the code but do try to work with applicants. Council Member Maciaszek also questioned if the ski installment could be considered public art. Community and Economic Development Director Michelle Groenevelt added that there are specific adopted policies related to public art but there is an opportunity to build in more flexibility in the code. Additionally, it is important to be clear and intentional with code. Mayor Giles summarized that the City Council has to make a decision based on the current City Code and staff will help the City Council make amendments to the City Code at a future date in MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 18 of 21 January 11, 2024 Meeting regard to design standards. Director Groenevelt expressed that looking at some policy change in the future is the best avenue moving forward. Mr. Huskinson noted that the skis have benefitted businesses by bringing people into the area of 1st Street and Lenora, especially when there is road construction that obstructs access to businesses. Additionally, Mr. Huskins asked if there is an option for temporary approval while the code is being amended. Council Member Nelson advised Mr. Huskinson to communicate with staff to determine if there is a temporary approval option. City Manager Anette Spickard noted that business signage is put out during construction to direct the public to impacted businesses using alternative routes. There were no in person or virtual comments received and written public comments are included as Attachment 3. Council Member Nelson moved to Close the Public Hearing. Council Member Nielsen seconded the motion. In a roll call vote, all voted aye, and the motion carried. Council Member Thrower noted that the City Council does not have much of a choice as the City Council must uphold the code. Council Member Thrower additionally expressed that progress can be made for the whole community even if the decision is upheld. Council Member Nelson agreed that there is a potential way forward for the applicant even with the decision being upheld. Mayor Giles, Council Member Maciaszek, and Council Member Nielsen agreed. Council Member Thrower moved to uphold the McCall Area Planning & Zoning Commission's decision to deny AA -23-12 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. BUSINESS AGENDA AB 23-013 Request to Approve FP -23-04 — Final Plat of Simmons Street Townhomes for Synergy Structures, LLC City Planner Brian Parker presented to the City Council. An Application for A Subdivision Final Plat to create a 5 -unit, mixed -use townhouse plat project including commercial workshop space on the ground floor and residential space on the upper floor. During their regularly scheduled November 7, 2023 meeting, the McCall Area Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously voted to recommend approval of the subject application with the conditions of approval identified in the Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Decision. Council Member Maciaszek asked if all requirements have been met by the applicant. Planner Parker affirmed that all requirements have been met.

AB 24-014 Request to approve a Lease Agreement for the Tesla EV Supercharger (Level 3) Project at 1st Street Parking Lot Community and Economic Development Director Michelle Groenevelt presented to the City Council. City staff have been working with Tesla about the opportunity to place Tesla Level 3 chargers in the City of McCall parking lot. Several public parking locations have been evaluated, and it was determined that the 1st Street Parking Lot was the preferred location for the 4 chargers (8 parking spaces). City Staff was directed to negotiate a lease agreement to bring back to the City Council. Director Groenevelt requested that the City Council table the request to approve a lease agreement for the Tesla EV supercharger project to the January 25th meeting since the contract is not ready. Council Member Nielsen asked if the delay was mutual. Director Groenevelt affirmed that the delay was a mutual decision. Council Member Maciaszek - moved to Table AB 24-014 Request to approve a Lease Agreement for the Tesla EV Supercharger (Level 3) Project at 1st Street Parking Lot until the January 25th City Council Meeting Council Member Nielsen seconded the motion. In a voice vote, all voted aye, and the motion carried. AB 23-263 Request Contract approval for Golf Course Clubhouse Ramp/Stairs project Continued and Updated from the December 28, 2023 Council Meeting Golf Superintendent Eric McCormick presented to the City Council. The Golf Course Clubhouse ramp has been deteriorating for several years and is not up to ADA requirements. The clubhouse is open year-round, has a leased -out restaurant (Banyans), and hosts Rotary once a week. The Golf Course has received some funding through LOT to help with the ramp improvements. In Spring of 2023 Staff went out to bid with hopes of rebuilding the ramp during the summer. Unfortunately, because of the large number of projects in the area during the summer, only one bid was received, and it was 80% over the estimate. Staff recommended and Council approved to reject the bid, staff then went back out to bid. Three bids were received, and Crestline Engineers has completed the evaluation of the bids and Staff has been working on project funding. There are not sufficient funds budgeted to cover the bid alternate. Staff recommended that the City Council award the base bid. The City Council had no questions or concerns regarding the contract for the Golf Course Clubhouse Ramp/Stairs project. Council Member Thrower moved to approve contract award to Falvey's LLC for the Clubhouse Access improvements in the amount of $225,638; authorize the mayor sign all necessary documents; and allow staff to manage change orders/modifications within 10% of the original Contract amount. 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. MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 20 of 21 January 11, 2024 Meeting AB 24-008 Assignment of Council Liaison Duties 2024 In January of each year after a general election, the Council chooses, from its membership, liaisons to serve on various community boards. As the liaison the Council Member attends each Board's meeting, some are monthly, and some are quarterly. The Council Member will then report to the whole Council, at their first Regular Meeting of each month, a brief accounting of what has transpired at the various community organizations. Mayor Giles suggested that the City Council table the matter until a meeting in February. Manager Spickard noted that the item could be part of the City Council retreat. The City Council agreed. Upcoming Meetings Schedule Discussion The council discussed upcoming meetings.

I say yes to the proposed Rankin Ridge Tesla charging stations. This will be an invaluable resource and bring funds in. Lane Please continue to plan and implement coordinated bike and walking paths McCall ID throughout McCall. I am concerned about the bike lane eastbound on 83638 Deinhard that just dead ends at 3rd St/Highway 55. Most cyclists just ride through this intersection using the traffic lights. This seems more dangerous with the new R turn lane off Highway 55 and no marked bike lane on the west side of the intersection. Wooley, Davis, Lake and 3rd streets could all use more planning for bikes and walkers. Thank you for all your work. Gail Rankin Bruce 675 Fox jbrankin@mac.com EV Charging Stations: No charging station should be constructed without Rankin Ridge adequate power capability to direct current fast chargers (DCFC at 150kW) Lane and AC level 2 chargers (208v at 6kW). The proposed Tesla stations and McCall ID location should be approved and other proposed public -use charging 83638 stations should comply with CFR, Title 23, 680.104 Human -powered pathways: To encourage minimizing the use of fuel -powered vehicles, McCall should have convenient and safe pathways for human powered transport. At minimum, this should include safe corridors on the following streets/intersections; Deinhard, 3rd, Lake, Mission/Norwood, Forest, Lenora, Wooley, Davis, Warren Wagon, Lick Creek, Spring Mountain. Short Term Rentals & Fire Code: Fire suppression systems should be mandated in short term rentals that contain four (4) or more bedrooms or are licensed for more than eight (8) occupants. The McCall Fire Department (MFD) does not (nor should they be expected to) have the capability to do a timely/safe search for occupants under conditions of smoke/fire in large structures. NFPA has guidelines that should be adhered to. Stacy 125 E stacy.ostler.md@gmail.com As an EV owner that has driven to or through McCall several times I ask that Ostlet Howard you please expedite approval of the Tesla Superchargers proposed for Lane McCall. Many EV owners are reluctant to take trips to McCall or beyond due Boise iD to the lack of DC Fast Charging. Currently the most practical way of driving 83706 an EV between. North Idaho and Boise is to leave the state. You will boost tourism and travel revenue by hosting Tesla and other EV charging stations. Please help the EV community and insure the commercial future of McCall by taking quick action to approve Tesla and other EV charging stations. Rick 315 Burns aviator81t@gmail.com Gonna say it again! (5 years of pushing and nada).

With the increase in population, there has been a noticeable increase in motorized and non -motorized vessels on Payette Lake. An increase in boats on the lake brings an increase in safety risk to other boaters, paddle boarders, kayakers, swimmers, etc. There are only 2 fuel pumps on the lake which are busy now and cannot safely handle an increase in volume. In addition, with the increase in fuel demand, this also increase prices to customers. The main public beach is adjacent to Mile High Marina at Legacy Park; there are people swimming, paddle • boarding, and kayaking next to the marina. It is also the boat launch for boat rental companies, Cheap Thrills and others, so there is a steady stream of speed boats, pontoons and jet skis between the Marina and Legacy Park and adding more slips would just increase congestion in that area. REDUCED QUALITY OF ENJOYMENT Adding more slips would only move the traffic from the land to the lake, decreasing overall enjoyment for patrons of the lake while likely not decreasing the land traffic More boats causes more waves for kayakers; paddle board users, and those enjoying swimming or floating along the shoreline More boats increase rates of erosion along the shoreline, impacting waterfront property including the Payette National Forest An increase in boats would increase noise pollution; sound carries on the lake and the peaceful enjoyment during the day and evening would be negatively impacted from boat sounds and loud music MORE STUDY AND INFORMATION IS NEEDED BEFORE A DECISION IS MADE We do hot believe there has been adequate due diligence prior to this vote. To my knowledge, there have not been any studies or surveys on the impact to the lake or lake patrons including: 1) boat density study, 2) community survey, 3) boater survey, or4) environmental impact study. It seems the only one truly benefiting from this expansion is Mile High Marina. Not only will they increase their profit from the additional boat slips, they will also see an increase in demand for fuel on the lake and their boat storage on highway 55. Please vote "no" on this expansion. We feel strongly that more information is needed to make a thoughtful decision that will impact the people of McCall and the pristine alpine Payette Lake for years to come. We should be protecting this precious natural resource and carefully weighing this decision with proper due diligence. We also think the public should be properly notified about this meeting and the details of the marina expansion prior to the vote on 1/11/24. Putting a public notice in the local paper is not an adequate way to notify the public in this day and age, particularly with the majority of homeowners living elsewhere during the second week of January. Thank you. MCCALL CITY COUNCIL PH CUP -23-07 COMMENTS January 11, 2024 Regular Meeting Page 1 of 49 Name Address Email Opinion Content ATTACHMENT 2 Jennifer 3535 E jenwoodfield@hotmail.com Against I just heard about this today. It feels like there has Toland Planet Drive been no public awareness about this possible change Boise ID which is very unfortunate. I have concerns about this 83712 passing as it relates to increased pollution, increased boat traffic on the lake, increased safety risk for boaters, paddle boarders, kayakers; noise pollution from loud music, shoreline erosion from more surf boats, increased waves for those enjoying swimming and floating along the shoreline, and increased lines at the fuel pumps on the lake. The traffic on the lake is eroding our shorelines and this would make things much worse. Please consider the long term damage this would cause.

Mary Lou 176 Maki mlourush@gmail.com Against I am submitting these comments because I am Rush Lane McCall concerned about water quality issues in Payette Lake ID 83638 as well as other social and environmental concerns with the expansion of the Mile High Marina. There is already a congestion and parking problem in the downtown of McCall in the summer and especially around the Marina. Adding more slips will only magnify this problem and the safety concerns involved. User conflicts exist on the lake because of more and more powerful motorized recreation. We are rapidly losing our shoreline to erosion and noise from watercraft, including loud music, water turbidity, and large continuous wave make it hard for many of us to enjoy the lake or shoreline. These conflicts will persist and adding more motorized recreation won't help . Safety and congestion issues will persist. More boats mean more fuel in the water and a high chance of pollution and the introduction of invasive species. The city and the county do not have the staff, nor do they have the money to successfully monitor lake activity. All agencies of local government and citizen groups need to work together to resolve this issue. I am very much opposed to the expansion of the Marina without these issues being addressed. Thank you.

Thank you for your time and thorough consideration of this very important issue. November 3, 2023 (and again January 2, 2024 to the McCall City Council) Brian Parker, City Planner Planning and Zoning Commission: Robert Lyons Ryan Kinzer Tom Mihlfeith Tony Moss Dana Paugh Dave Petty Liz Rock Dear Commissioners, Thank you for the opportunity to weigh in on the proposed marina expansion: An expansion of this size would be a significant change to our small lake and have a big impact on our community. Fortunately, you have not only City Code to guide your decision, but also the newly adopted Waterways Management Plan. That Plan, developed.in partnership with the City of McCall and Valley County has the clearly stated purpose of providing "guiding direction for future waterway management and policy considerations". Now is the time to use it. The Plan identifies primary metrics or keystone indicators that will "be used to track progress to achieve the desired future condition". That desired condition is outlined for each water body. The desired future condition of Payette Lake "is a significant summer destination for Valley County tourism and a variety of activities while continuing to protect our headwaters". Applicable Keystone Indicators include Incidents (violations), Feeling of Crowdedness, and Carrying Capacity. These indicators were analyzed during the two-year study period and nearly all require mediation to reach the desired future condition. Incidents were high, 113 warnings issued per year with a desired maximum of 100. Those warnings are nearly all attributed to motorboat violations. Over a third of respondents said the lake was either moderately or extremely overcrowded. The Plan acknowledges those interviews were taken on a stormy summer day and on a fall day, admitting the results are likely skewed to show less feeling of crowdedness than normal conditions would show. Clearly more boats would worsen this problem. How will an expanded marina impact these values? Primarily by crowding the lake even more. More boats equal more congestion, more parking issues, more risks with fueling and indirectly changing the user satisfaction results and user violations. When we have not even achieved the desired condition, why would we make matters worse? I'd like to focus on two issues in particular — the crowding and carry capacity or user conflict. CROWDING It has been said that 90 more slips result in 90 fewer boats at the ramp. That might be true, but there are far more boats heading for Payette Lake than those 90. With over 7800 boats that register Valley County as their primary or secondary place of use, clearly the number of boats is not limited. Another interesting value comes from a letter to your commission from a man who has been on the wait list for a slip since 2019 and is now just #214. Additionally, when Cascade Lake drops or has algae blooms, those boats come to Payette. 90 slips will not reduce any MCCALL CITY COUNCIL PH CUP -23-07 COMMENTS Januaty 11, 2024 Regular Meeting Page 3 of 49 Name Address Email Opinion Content _.ATTACHMENT 2 congestion or over -crowding. It will add to that. USER CONFLICT/SOCIAL CARRYING CAPACITY User conflict is a huge problem primarily caused by wake boats. The number one priority strategy the Plan lists for Payette is to prevent user conflict and protect our headwaters. Testimony provided to the BOCC prior to adoption of the last lake use ordinance confirms user conflict is prevalent. Multiple testimonies stated that it is impossible to sail, kayak, canoe, swim or even enjoy sitting on a dock when the wake boats are active. Conflicts include tipping those craft over, damaging docks and injuring people on those docks. Several locals said they sold their ski boats because they couldn't use them safely anymore. The Plan defines "Social Carrying Capacity" as "reached when conflict arises or when users choose not to utilize the resource". We are there now. Adding more boats will make it worse. Other issues that need close attention are limited parking, pump -out facilities and trash receptacles. Additional bicycle parking will not be adequate. Nobody will load their coolers, towels, snacks, skis, and wake boards on their bike for a day on the lake! The shading on the pier violates City Code 3.7.023 (A) and (C) in that it would partially block the view across the lake and have an adverse impact on the visual quality of its setting. The Big Payette Lake Water Quality Act was enacted by the Idaho legislature with the following intent. The legislature finds that the waters of Big Payette Lake and its watershed are threatened with deterioration due to expanding residential development, greater public use and growing land use activities, that these pressures may endanger the drinkability, economic potential, fisheries, natural beauty, recreational use, swimability and wildlife values of the lake; that the state holds all such public lakes in trust for the use of all its citizens; that to preserve and protect such public lakes and to increase and enhance the use and enjoyment of such lakes is in the best interest of all the citizens of the state; that natural lakes form an important basis of the state's economy and that the increasing demand upon the lake waters of this state require coordinated state and local action to protect, preserve and improve the water qualify [quality] of the lakes. That alarm was sounded over two decades ago and we as a community dependent on that lake and you as a steward of it, owe Payette Lake our most dedicated efforts to conserve its use and quality. Indicators show extreme pressure on the lake and a clear need to protect it for tourism, our economy and as our single source of drinking water. Any obligation to provide access to more boats or one commercial operation pales in comparison. Thank you again for your time and your dedicated interest to this very important issue.

Since 1973, the Idaho Conservation League (ICL) has been Idaho's voice for clean water, clean air and wilderness —values that are the foundation for Idaho's extraordinary quality of life. ICL protects these values through public education, outreach, advocacy and policy development. As Idaho's largest state -based conservation organization, we represent over 25,000 members and supporters, many of whom have a deep personal interest in protecting our state owned waterways: ICL understands the importance of Mile High Marina to McCall's tourism industry and economy, and we appreciate the support and benefits Mile High Marina provides to the community and West Central Idaho. However, we have several concerns and recommendations regarding the proposed marina expansion, most of which relate to potential impacts to the water quality of Payette Lake, McCall's sole drinking water source. Prior to beginning construction for any proposed marina expansion that includes additional boat slips, Mile High Marina must acquire an encroachment permit from the Idaho Department of Lands (IDL), as defined in the Lake Protection Act, Idaho Code, Title 58, Chapter 13, and IDAPA 20.03.04. The permit and associated Idaho code are meant to ensure that fish and wildlife habitat, neighboring private property, recreation, aesthetic beauty, and water quality are given due consideration when weighed against an economic need or justification. There are also several provisions that must be met in order for IDL to issue a permit, or for the McCall City Council to approve the proposed expansion: A commercial marina must have 50% of the slips available to the public Slips may not be supported by extra piling Membership in a club or organization is not required to use the marina The marina must comply with local parking ordinances; if none are adopted, the marina must provide: 1 parking space per 2 public water craft or float home moorages 1 parking space per moorage for each moorage tied to specific parking spaces Foam is discouraged in slip and dock construction, but if it is used it must be completely encased and resistant to rodents. We understand that Mile High Marina is exempt from the parking provisions described above as per McCall City Code 3.4.061 (D), which states that, "Improvement District or Renewal District Exemption: Commercial, business park, or industrial uses within former or current business improvement district or urban renewal districts are exempt from providing off street parking as required by this section and section 3.8.062 of this. title (Ord. 923, 5-22-2014; amd ord. 1009, 10-6-2022)". However, parking is extremely limited in downtown McCall and the existing marina -associated parking lot MCCALL CITY COUNCIL PH CUP -23-07 COMMENTS January 11, 2024 Regular Meeting Page 6 of 49 Name Address Email — Opinion Content ATTACHMENT 2 is often at, or exceeding, capacity. We recommend that, even though exemptions are in place, the City works with Mile High Marina to proactively identify potential off -site parking, as well as a plan to provide adequate shuttle service (if it is applicable) to and from said off -site parking. This would reduce high traffic patterns in the area and contribute to combating climate change through the reduction of fossil fuel use. Having an established shuttle system for off -site parking would help reduce and eliminate potential impacts associated with increased fossil fuel use. According to previous testimony and reporting, we understand that the additional slips are meant to meet an existing demand from marina users who currently, and consistently, recreate on Payette Lake, and that the additional slips will go towards clearing names from a slip waiting list. We concur that if this isindeed the case, there would not be an exponential parking and/or traffic increase. However, we are concerned that an inordinate number of the new slips could be assigned to commercial rental units, therefore not meeting the demand previously noted. We recommend that the City Council obtain assurances that the proposed slips would, in fact, meet existing demand and fulfill the current slip waiting list. While some slips could eventually be dedicated to rental units, we recommend that the City Council establish a limit to the number available to store rental boats or jet skis. We are also concerned that the proposed dock size and increased number of boat slips (90 new slips) could potentially impair the ecological function of the nearshore habitat. Increased slips equate to additional boat use, which .directly correlates to the increased potential introduction of invasive species such as zebra mussels, quagga mussels, and milfoil. Given the recent discovery of quagga mussels in the Snake River, preventing the introduction of these invasive species is critical. We recommend that any marina expansion includes a boat. inspection station with an attached or reasonably accessible cleaning station. The cleaning station should have a liquid capture system that does not connect, either directly or indirectly, to Payette Lake or the City's water system. Additional threats to water quality and aquatic habitats include nutrient pollution, particularly from nitrates and phosphates. These nutrients are not only introduced, but are present in the natural substrate and sediments of West Central Idaho. Boat propellers and wave/wake action are directly linked to sediment disturbance and entraining the sediment in the water column. Increased nutrients are directly linked with toxic algae outbreaks, which commonly occur at Cascade Reservoir, and are of increasing concern for Payette Lake. In the summer of 2022, DEQ received reports of potential toxic algae in Payette Lake's North Beach vicinity. Fortunately, the algae was not toxic but does serve to remind us that nutrient loads combined with warming temperatures and climate change are factors we must not ignore and should proactively address. Expanded boating opportunities, particularly motorized wake and ski boats, is likely to lead to increased nutrients and sediment disturbance. Idaho water quality standards for nutrients are narrative and without numeric values associated with the standards. However, the standards clearly indicate that waters MCCALL CITY COUNCIL PH CUP -23-07 COMMENTS January 11, 2024 Regular Meeting Page 7 of 49 Name Address Email Opinion Content ATTACHMENT 2 must remain free of nuisance floating debris or weeds, which can become problematic in developed areas of the Lakeshore and shallow waters near the shoreline. As we reference above, boat propellers and wave/wake action entrain sediment in the water column, contributing to an increased risk of potential toxic algae outbreaks which would directly impact water quality and McCall's drinking water source. Propellers and wave/wake action also contribute to erosion, which is already impacting Payette Lake and the surrounding shoreline. All systems have a carrying capacity that allows for natural and safe function, from anthropogenically constructed features such as roads and highways to natural habitats. Payette Lake is no different, and there is a carrying capacity for the lake that should be based on preservation of natural resources and aquatic systems, safe travel and use patterns, vessel density for enjoyment, and the ability to operate a variety of motorized and non -motorized craft. In order to construct a new breakwater, slips, and accompanying proposed boardwalk, pilings and other materials will need to be either driven into the lake bottom or tied to the lake bed using other methods. These construction activities will not only entrain sediment into the water column, thereby increasing the risk of a toxic algae outbreak, but could also possibly release other chemicals or toxic materials associated with the lumber mills that operated in the vicinity until 1977 that are captured in the lakebed sediment. Several iterations of the lakeside lumber mills burned and were subsequently rebuilt. It is possible that toxic materials emanating from the burned mills were redeposited in the lake through active fire fighting activities, de- and re -construction, and natural weather -associated runoff. We recommend that the City require an environmental analysis of the proposed construction area to determine the chemical and physical makeup of the lake bottom. Entraining chemicals or potential toxic materials in the general water column is not the only consideration. We are also concerned that these materials could be sucked into the City's potable water system through an intake pipe/pump that is located in the near vicinity of the proposed expansion. Should this happen, the consequences and community impacts could be severe. Additional water quality concerns include human waste disposal, particularly for "cabin cruisers" or boats with onboard restroom facilities. Mile High Marina should include a plan for sewage pump out facilities that are adequate to serve the additional boats associated with the proposed new slips. Further, there should be adequate upland restroom facilities available to handle the increased traffic and use. OII, gas, and other petroleum products can also be problematic and adversely affect Payette Lake water quality. The potential for spills becomes exponentially higher when one introduces a dock - based fueling station, as is proposed for the marina expansion. Mile High Marina's expansion proposal should contain a hazardous materials response, containment, and clean up plan with on -site containment materials adequate to meet a moderate to large -sized spill of hazardous materials. While McCall Fire Department is trained to deploy containment buoys and conduct initial response MCCALL CITY COUNCIL PH CUP -23-07 COMMENTS January 11, 2024 Regular Meeting Page 8 of 49 Name Address Email Opinion Content _ ATTACHMENT 2 actions related to hazardous material spills, the nearest fully trained and qualified hazardous materials team is located in Boise, with a response time of at least 2.5 to 3 hours. With increased use comes increased risk, and we recommend that the McCall City Council work with Mile High Marina to develop a plan that will proactively address these inherent risks. An adequate environmental analysis of the proposed construction would also help identify hazardous spill containment needs and protocols, aiding McCall City Council and Mile High Marina by identifying potential risks and measures to mitigate or alleviate those risks. Construction materials used for the proposed expansion could also impact water quality and the City's drinking water system. For example, we recommend forgoing the use of pressure -treated or chemically treated lumber during construction as the associated chemicals can leach into the water and adversely affect living organisms and, if pulled into the drinking water system, the chemicals could impact human health and safety. We recommend the City of McCall require any construction materials to be long- lasting and free from emitting chemicals or toxins through leaching or off -gassing processes. The past 3 years have demonstrated an increased demand for recreation opportunities throughout the state and the West. Oftentimes that increased demand is also inextricably linked to increased impacts. While it makes sense to increase capacity and ability to meet these demands in some instances, in others the increased capacity leads only to additional increased demand. No matter the Council's decision on this matter, a larger question remains: what is the effective carrying capacity of Payette. Lake for continued recreation enjoyment and assured high water quality? We recommend the City, through the Planning and Zoning Department and the Parks and Recreation Department, and in conjunction with other agencies and stakeholders, contract for or complete and in-house study that determines the safe carrying capacity of Payette Lake in order to side step or avoid entirely future scenarios and situations such as the current expansion application. ICL agrees that Mile High Marina cannot be held responsible for "fixing" or alleviating current conditions that impair or potentially threaten Payette Lake water quality through this proposed expansion. However, the public and the community can, and should, expect that the proposed expansion does not contribute to additional or future poor water quality or ecosystem threats. We once more extend our gratitude and appreciation for the opportunity to comment on the proposed Mile High Marina expansion, for your diligent review of the proposal, and your valuable consideration of Payette Lake's water quality and health.

MCCALL CITY COUNCIL PH CUP -23-07 COMMENTS January 11, 2024 Regular Meeting Page 11 of 49 Name Address Email Opinion Content ATTACHMENT 2 Tyler Harris 646 S. tjharris@gmail.com Against Dear City Council and attendees, I respect the work Granite Way that Mr. Worley and his attorney have done to lay the Boise Idaho groundwork for this expansion. I also understand why 83712 someone who makes their livelihood from recreational boat use on Payette Lake would want to expand his footprint in a shared public waterway to rent highly lucrative boating slips. Many of us have personal connections to either Mr. Worley or his representation, making any position other than support more challenging to hold and voice. To complicate things further, this request is being put forward at a time of shifting public perception regarding public land and waterway use, when climate change is clearly stressing the scarce resources we all share, and greedy out of state interests are also looking to maximize unfettered use of lakes such as our own. That being said, it is incumbent upon the City to carefully consider how this irrevocable change will impact the Lake and city residents, both current and future. The council should be able to clearly address: 1. How does this expansion impact our drinking water source? Despite claims to the contrary, the net effect will be to increase boat traffic and fuel use on Payette Lake. What is the spill rate and how will this be mitigated? Will boats be inspected and how frequently? What types of sensors/detectors will be put in place and who will monitor them? How does this expansion fit into the Drinking Water Source Protection Plan? 2. How does Marina expansion fit into the County Waterways plan? What "keystone indicators" (page 3, 47) are being considered to evaluate the merits of this proposal? How will affect "waves, erosion, and sedimentation" (page 6)? How does it fit into the Big Payette Lake Management Plan? How will the expansion impact what is already recognized as a heavily congested zone? Does the city have the resources to enforce existing code regarding lake use, let alone with the increased traffic? 3. How will the Marina work with the myriad of county and state actors charged with mitigating invasive species? How will it interface with the county to eliminate milfoil and quagga mussels in particular? 4. How will the increased number of slips impact the overall boating use, and what will this do to the increased turbidity, nutrient load, and other negative effects of boating as recognized in the waterways plan (page 26, 27)? A recent study performed by a graduate student at University of Idaho has demonstrated increased phosphorus load correlating with increased boat traffic on Payette Lake, confirming the lake is at risk of eutrophication, accelerated by increased boat use. How does this proposal fit into the City's long term plan for protecting the lake, which will inevitably require some limitations of use? 5. Has there been any sort of independent environmental impact assessment? Unfortunately, this is a complicated issue that intertwines with several factors outside of Mr. Worley's direct control. This does not mean it should be outside of the consideration of the City when entertaining his request. Quite the contrary -- the city must be wholistic in its approach. More time to consider the above ramifications and others is a reasonable request. You all have a difficult job ahead of you, and I implore you to carefully consider the consequences rather than rubber stamping this proposal.

McCall Expansion From: Big Payette Lake Water Quality Big Payette Idaho 83638 Council January 9, 2024 The Mile High Marina is a Lake Water well -established business and provides enjoyment on Quality the lake for many residents and tourists. Some Coun. members of the water quality council met with the marina owner Sam Worley, as well as Kurt Wolfe, City Recreation Director, and discussed concerns about the project, acknowledging that the owner cannot solve these larger issues facing the lake and community. However, the council felt that questions must be asked, of the city, regarding some of the larger issues. There are unresolved challenges which the marina itself cannot fix, but the city has an obligation to consider. The lake provides economic opportunity for our local businesses and just as important, is the preservation of our home and protection against degradation of the sole source of drinking water for the community. The City's Comprehensive Plan and Source Water Protection Plan set a number of goals and priorities for the protection of Payette Lake, repeatedly noting its unique and irreplaceable values for the community. How will the terms of a Conditional Use Permit reflect and reinforce those goals and priorities for Payette Lake? McCall City Code 3.7.023 requires an environmental assessment for commercial marinas. Has the city asked for a third -party environmental assessment review as a precaution to ensure that this project is within the City's Comprehensive Plan and Source Water Protection Plan? The City's SWPP calls for a spill response plan, noting that the plan hasn't been completed as of yet. Grants have been awarded to the city and some analyzers have been installed at the Legacy water intake site and we understand the process has yet to be completed. Given the location and nature of the marina proposal, adoption of a city spill response plan which takes into consideration a full spectrum of risks, including the risks presented by marina construction and operation, would be an appropriate predicate to formulation and issuance of a Conditional Use Permit. Payette Lake is used by many recreators. According to Idaho Parks and Recreation, 7,811 boat licenses selected Valley County as either their primary or secondary use location in 2021. Payette Lake is a 7.8 square mile lake; small. Hydrocarbons being released into our drinking water from motorized recreation present concerns. On page 12 of the CUP application, under Environmental Resources, paragraph 2, there is a statement from the IDEQ 2020 report that says, "measurements and impacts of hydrocarbons in Big Payette Lake should be evaluated." This seems an important consideration for the city to explore with regard to prevention/protection of drinking water. User conflicts on the lake will be evident with more and more powerful motorized recreation. Noise from watercraft, including loud music, water turbidity, and large continuous waves make it hard for other users to engage in their sport or enjoy peace and quiet. These issues are not something the applicant of the marina can solve but the city and county could approach these concerns more "head-on" with prevention, safety, and enforcement. Even though the Waterways Management Plan addresses some of these issues, at this time, it is only a guiding document for county and MCCALL CITY COUNCIL PH CUP -23-07 COMMENTS January 11, 2024 Regular Meeting Page 14 of 49 Name Address Email Opinion Content ATTACHMENT 2 city leaders, with no enforcement capability. Safety, user conflict and infrastructure issues are identified in the Plan as triggers which would indicate that more study will be needed. The city and the county do not have the staff, nor the money to successfully monitor lake activity. These are complex problems that will require dedicated engagement and problem solving from all of us in order to preserve the enjoyment of our lake and to protect the water quality. Maybe it's time for a launch fee for all watercraft to help pay for enforcement and safety concerns. Negotiating for a day per week of non -motorized use might be a suggestion to help minimize pressure on the lake. With the increasing threat of more invasives being introduced into Big Payette Lake it is past time for the city to work with the county and state to require all boats be cleaned and ballast tanks disinfected before being launched. The Big Payette Lake Water Quality Council recognizes the challenges before the city and staff. We are advocates for the lake and agree to be a cooperating partner in bringing people together around lake challenges. We believe it will take city and county leaders, business, jurisdictional agencies, non- profits, and citizens to work together to ensure that existing code and policies are followed and enforced around the lake. Payette Lake IS the gem of our community and we all assume a role in keeping her waters clean.

I recognize Idaho 83638 the attempts by the boating industry to take responsibility for the impacts they have and will create. And I acknowledge the good work done by Parks and Rec to try and get some accommodations for the large non- motorized population of lake users. I am truly grateful for the present improvements done to Brown's Park. Thank you. But I would also like to acknowledge and thank the decades of unpaid volunteer work done by the Payette Protective League, the Big Payette Lake Water Quality Council and other citizen stewards fighting to protect and preserve the lake, from setting up a sewer district ,to funding water quality studies; always advocating for the health of the lake and the tributaries, for the quality of our drinking water, and for public access, and having to go to bat again and again when faced with overwhelming pressures of private development. As for this project, think we know in our hearts that the trajectory of this proposal is going in the absolute opposite direction from where we should be headed as a community. We are in a climate emergency. We are gambling our recreational economy against inevitable drought, higher water temperatures, decreasing flow from the tributaries, erratic melt off, lower snowpack, and of course wildfire. Every aspect of climate change is exacerbating the threats we already have to this lake and our well-being. To bring down carbon emissions and increase our lake's resilience and health, we have to be courageous and put some limits on our desires, ourselves and our activities. And you, as elected leaders must be brave and make the choice not for today's desires but for tomorrow's needs for a healthy and clean lake. In addition, there is also the issue of equity. We are talking here about a publicly shared commons, that we all have an interest in. One man's pleasure cannot impede so many others. I suggest that the city work with the county, invoking the Waterways Management Act and user conflict and pass an ordinance to set aside 2 days a week for strictly non -motorized use of the lake. Let us have a sublime experience of a still, quiet lake in the middle of summer echoing only with the laughter of children, beaches where we can swim out as far as we want and canoe without fear of swamping. What if it is so marvelous that we want to expand it to more days? What if some new people come to our lake because it is quiet and safe and less hectic and they can really relax. Let us see that a future not dominated by fossil fuels is indeed not only tenable but perhaps preferred. I ask that you refuse this proposal of expanding the marina and work to institute a fair use of the lake by establishing days of non- motorized use only. Sincerely.

McCall and Council members in allowing public input on this ID 83638 application. Some of you know that I am a long time resident, businessman and owner of one of three commercial marinas on Payette Lake. I stand before before you tonight knowing that some may call me a hypocrite for speaking against this marina expansion. Well.... So be it. I don't see it that way. When my partner and I started renting slips at our dock behind May Hardware in the late 1970's it was because we had a 40' dock, one boat and people asking to moor their boats. It went from 2 boats to 12 boats to 24 boats and on until we stopped expanding in about 2008. We were both sailors and focused on moorage for sailboats. Man - how things have changed since those early days. One thing hasn't changed though. City water has been drawn from the lake since ??? I don't even know. Does anyone here know? Don't be misled by semantics or feel good math. More slips on the lake means more boats. I oppose this expansion because lake residents have been complaining for years about shocking increases in boat traffic. Now I, and many others, fear for the health of Payette Lake from overuse, pollution and the unknown future effects of climate change. I have been through the dock permitting process a few times and know the drill: Army Corp of Engineers. What are they looking at? Wetlands - ok, that's a rubber stamp - no wetlands. IDL? What are they looking for? No encroachment on your neighbor and that other little thing that makes them salivate; MONEY. (They will increase their income by about 18k with this expansion). IDEQ? Tough to answer that one. They should be concerned about environmental quality, right? It's in their name! Unfortunately, the IDEQ is so under funded, overworked and underpaid that it is just so easy to approve this because there are no studies that they can point to in order to deny. Talk to your Idaho legislators about what they would like to do with those environmentalists. So. Who is left to make a decision about the future quality of drinking water for up to 10k McCall people on a hot summer day? You are. You five sitting here. Do you think about what happens when IDEQ calls and says "time to redo your water system. The lake is full of 77777 " (Put one of many answers for those question marks) Please rethink this expansion. Oh, one more quick thing. One issue that I am not clear on. At one point the City was going to maintain the boardwalk. Is that still the case? Taxpayers need to know if the City has any responsibility there.

I admittedly cannot fully grasp the impacts on water quality, noise pollution, and effects on simple quality of life issues; however, this project (Marina expansion) to me is clearly heading our city in the wrong decision. It's counterintuitive to me to express concern for human safety, degradation of shoreline, water quality, parking and other factors relative to congestion, and then approve a plan to exacerbate those concerns. Just say no to this one, and move on to projects that will actually assure McCall will be livable in the years ahead.

Our lake is already under great stress Ave McCall from the number of boats using it. The lake is the sole ID 83638 source of our drinking water. The great majority of folks living in McCall say they want to keep the town small and easy, the way it is and has been. For many of us, McCall is a twelve -month -a -year proposition. With continued unbridled growth, the weeks from Memorial Day to Labor Day are becoming and will further become... a zoo. We all had a scare last year with diesel fuel spilling into the lake. I'd like to see the City Council help channel new recreation efforts away from the lake. Encourage biking and hiking. Americans as a population need to loose weight... get up in the hills and hike. Swigging beers and getting overweight and sunburned on a $150K surf or pontoon boat tracking up and down the lake generating shoreline erosion is no way to go through life. Another 100 boat slips wit go that much farther toward trashing the lake. My family and I drink coffee brewed with water piped out of the lake. We rely on water from the lake for our daily needs. The last thing the lake needs is more aromatic hydrocarbons swirling around headed for the water supply. Please view with extreme skepticism efforts to cash in a few more dollars during the already busy 15 week summer season.

Having owned several cabins near Idaho 83616 the Marina over the Years I have seen the positive impact it has on the community. It is more than a Marina it is a gathering place for family and friends. We have had a boat slip in the Marina for many years and have benefited from the positive impact (e.g. kids have grown up having quick and easy access to many years of memorable lake activities). All interested families should have that opportunity including being able to enjoy that waterfront stroll and take in the sunsets. The public dock will be a much needed and positive amenity for the community and allow everyone to take in this beautiful mountain lake. Please approve this application.

I believe a third -party environmental assessment review to ensure that'this project is within the City's Comprehensive Plan and Source Water Protection Plan needs to be completed. I would also like to see a completed spill response plan prior to authorizing this project. With an increase in invasive species I think it's also necessary to have a plan for cleaning boats prior to putting them in our lake.

Also, as a non -motorized user of Payette Lake (swimming and kayaking), is it possible to have 1 day/week of non -motorized use? Since invasive species are increasing on Payette Lake, consider requiring all boats be cleaned and ballast tanks disinfected before being launched on the lake. Payette Lake is our drinking water and should be protected for all residents of McCall. Sheree 664 Sonfield Woodlands Drive McCall ID 83638 ssonfield@gmail.com Against The expansion of the Marina means more recreators on our drinking water source.

We don't need more boat pollution in Lake Court Payette. This pollution is already visible at the existing McCall ID marinas where you can see oil and gas residue floating 83638 on top of the water. 2. This increases traffic on a lake that is already too busy and under -enforced. 3. I fail to Karl 1101 Rubner Graham Dr. McCall ID 83638 karlrubner@gmail.com see how this will improve the quality of life in McCall. The expanded marina would encroach on the shoreline area and make less space available to people who want to enjoy the lake from the shore. 4. Increased marina space means increased boating on the lake --- more potential damage to the shoreline, more noise pollution, more water pollution, and will only benefit a private developer's bank account. Please vote no to this proposition. For This will be a great addition to the downtown area. It will complement the work that the city has already done down there.

I am concerned that the Road Boise expansion will create a multitude of issues and ID 83638 problems for the residents and visitors to McCall. Before any approval to move forward I would like to have the city require that studies are done on the possible environmental and safety issues that may result from the construction. WATER QUALITY Payette Lake provides drinking water for the city. The construction process and the subsequent addition of motorized water craft all have the potential to negatively impact the safety and quality of our drinking water. I have not heard anything about this project providing environmental study data that shows the projected impact this project will have on the lake environment - not only the water quality but also the plants and animals that live in, on and around the lake. SAFETY The lake has already seen a huge increase in boat traffic since 2020 as more people have discovered McCall. With the increase in population, there has been a noticeable increase in motorized and non - motorized vessels on Payette Lake An increase in boats on the lake brings an increase in safety risk to other boaters, paddle boarders, kayakers, swimmers, etc. There are only 2 fuel pumps on the lake which are busy now and cannot safely handle an increase in volume; with the increase in fuel demand, this also increase prices to customers The main public beach is adjacent to Mile High Marina at Legacy Park; there are people swimming, paddle boarding, and kayaking next to the marina. It is also the boat launch for boat rental companies, Cheap Thrills and others, so there is a steady stream of speed boats, pontoons and jet skis between the Marina and Legacy Park and adding more slips would just increase congestion in that area REDUCED QUALITY OF ENJOYMENT Adding more slips would only move the traffic from the land to the lake, decreasing overall enjoyment for patrons of the lake while likely not decreasing the land traffic More boats causes more waves for kayakers, paddle board users, and those enjoying swimming or floating along the shoreline More boats increase rates of erosion along the shoreline, impacting waterfront property including the Payette National Forest Increase in noise pollution MORE STUDY AND INFORMATION IS NEEDED BEFORE A DECISION IS MADE I do not believe there has been adequate due diligence prior to this vote. To my knowledge, there have not been any studies or surveys on the impact to the lake or lake patrons including: 1) boat density study, 2) community survey, 3) boater survey, or 4) environmental impact study. I feel strongly that more information is needed to make a thoughtful decision that will impact the people of McCall and the pristine alpine Payette Lake for years to come. We should be protecting this precious natural resource and carefully weighing this decision with proper due diligence. Thank you, Tom Foerstel Tom 12995 tombloom907@gmail.com For This expansion would be great. It will help to take the Bloomfield Ponderosa pressure off the boat ramps on Payette Lake.

Over the last decade we have noticed a large 83638 increase in boating in the area of the lake directly in front of our property. Since many of these boats are newer "wakesurfing" boats they create massive waves that come into our shore which causes damage to our moored boats and a definite erosion of the lakefront beach area we have. I fear that adding more wake surfing boats to the current mix will increase the negative impact on the lakefront shore as well as the docks and moored equipment.

I have several discussion items I would like you to consider. • It is my opinion that the greatest emerging threat to city drinking water comes not from the marina expansion, but from unclean watercraft delivering invasive species to Payette Lake. Valley County, indeed the entire state, lacks inspection and washing stations to intercept watercraft entering our county. All watercraft that transit to Payette Lake should be required to show proof of cleanliness with a wash station receipt within the previous 24 hours of launching into the lake. 1. A fee based launch kiosk at the city ramp, able to accept wash station receipt codes as payment would go far in mitigating this risk. I suggest the wash stations should be located at boating retailers on highways leading to McCall. State funds are available to build the stations, but not to operate them. Retailers should pay for wash station employees. In return, they get boating enthusiasts on to their premises. The retailers and the kiosk both offer a great opportunity explain city and county boating rules and regulations, such as large wake restrictions. 2. Watercraft moored for the boating season at the marina, cleanly launched once, are not an invasive species threat. The expansion extra slips lessen that threat. I don't share the opinion that the extra slips will materially increase boat traffic on the lake. The boats will be on the lake regardless. But the ramps won't be quite as busy. • A second threat to our lake is from the effects of large modern power boats designed to maximize the wake they generate. Large wave energy impacting shorelines is certainly an issue, but from the research I've gathered, the bigger threat is from prop wash lake bottom disturbance. The rototiller effect on plant growth and spread is profound. Will the marina expansion have a meaningful impact on wake boat usage? I don't think so. Wake boats definitely need to be managed by the city and county, but where they park at night isn't the real problem. • As some of you may be aware, several years ago I approached the city with a business plan and proposal to build a combination boathouse and event space on the city MCCALL CITY COUNCIL PH CUP -23-07 COMMENTS January 11, 2024 Regular Meeting Page 25 of 49 ATTACHMENT 2 owned lot on E lake street, adjacent to the Mile High Marina log boom and across from Dog Beach. That proposal is referenced in McCall's Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan adopted in June 2023. While I've not pursued that project recently, focusing my efforts on the library expansion, I do plan on organizing a grass roots effort to get the boathouse built, probably with the creation of a new non-profit entity that would work with the city. Why am I bringing this up? 1. Because the new marina boardwalk and new dock construction will facilitate the non -motorized access to the lake at Dog Beach. Kurt Wolf and I have had quite a few conversations about how to get non -motorized watercraft launches away from the existing boat ramp. Low, less than 6 inches high, docks issuing from the new marina boardwalk across the street from the boathouse will enable safe access for paddle boards, rowing shells, canoes and kayaks. Please review the boathouse and beach plans. The boathouse has the potential of becoming a great public asset at no cost to the taxpayer. 2. I do agree with some of the critics of the new marina that the boardwalk must be constructed of materials that do not pose a threat to the city's drinking water intake. But from what I've seen of the plans, that threat is manageable with city oversight. 3. The boathouse basement storage capacity of 2000 linear feet of rack space, or a combination of rack space and upright storage of paddle boards, promises yet another way to minimize the risk of importing invasive species to the lake, reducing congestion at the existing city ramp, beyond the safety aspects described above. • Sam, the marina owner, seems willing to work with the city to maximize the advantages of the expansion (less daily launches, separating motorized and non - motorized watercraft traffic, a boardwalk instead of log booms) while minimizing the disadvantages (threats to our water supply, gas and oil spill control, weed management). But you, the Council, have control. He leases city property. Don't forget that.

Wake boats can produce waves with 1.7-17 times the energy of other comparable -sized powerboats and their propellers generate enough turbulence to resuspend bottom sediments in water up to 33 feet deep. The large waves generated by wake boats take between 225-950 feet to dissipate to heights and wave energies observed 100-200 feet away from similar boats operating at cruising speed. Further, the use of ballast tanks in wake boats results in a dramatic increase in risk for transporting Dreissenid mussels and other aquatic invasive species and pathogens among water bodies. The cumulative negative effects of wake boats on natural resources can lead to loss of habitat, resulting in the decline of aquatic ecosystems and angling opportunity. Michigan's current boating laws and regulations are intended to both promote public safety and prevent damage to aquatic resources but were created prior to the commercialization and popularization of wake boats in the early 2000s. As a result of the large waves and increased scour caused by these vessels, the existing 100 -foot operating buffers around docks and shorelines on inland lakes are not sufficient to protect aquatic resources. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Fisheries Division (Division) recommends the following to minimize the effects of wake surfing and wake boarding on natural resources: 1. Boats operating in wake -surfing mode or wake -boarding mode, during which boat speed, wave shapers, and/or ballast are used to increase wave height, should operate at least 500 feet from docks or the shoreline, regardless of water depth. 2. Boats operating in wake -surfing or wake -boarding modes should operate in water at least 15 feet deep. 3. Ballast tanks should be completely drained prior to transporting the watercraft over land. 4. Regulatory authorities and the boating industry should implement an increased education and outreach campaign that targets wake boat operators to improve awareness and implementation of the best practices listed above. INTRODUCTION Wake boats are powerboats specially designed to increase wave height for watersports. The hull is shaped to achieve maximum wake and many have a hydrofoil device that lowers the stern when the boat is under power. Most wake boats also have built-in ballast tanks that can be filled with lake water to increase the weight in the stern of the boat and create larger waves. While wake boarding, a rider is towed with a rope, usually at a speed of 20--23 mph. They use the wake of the boat to perform jumps and tricks. Wake surfing involves a person trailing behind a boat on a short surfboard and surfing on the boat's wake without being attached to the boat by a rope. Wake surfing generally occurs at speeds of 9-11 mph. Many wake boats can operate in modes to support wake surfing or wake boarding and have the ability to maximize wave height through ballast and wave shapers at the required speed for the respective activity. Through direct observations by Division employees and feedback from the public, it has become clear that waves generated by wake boats create concerns about risks to aquatic natural resources. The State of Michigan, with the Department of Natural Resources as the trustee, has an obligation to preserve and protect natural resources as required by Article 4, Section 52 of the Michigan Constitution. The Division's mission is to protect and enhance Michigan's aquatic life and habitats for the benefit of 2 MCCALL CITY COUNCIL PH CUP -23-07 COMMENTS January 11, 2024 Regular Meeting Page 30 of 49 ATTACHMENT 2 current and future generations. Its strategic plan (MDNR 2018) serves as a guide to natural resource managers tasked to maintain healthy aquatic ecosystems and provide world -class angling opportunities that enhance quality of life in Michigan. The first goal listed in this plan is to "ensure healthy aquatic ecosystems and sustainable fisheries". In addition, the Division has identified specific habitat conservation priorities for the nearshore zones of lakes through its Wildlife Action Plan (MDNR 2015). In the context of these priorities to conserve nearshore aquatic habitats, the goals of this document are to review the current state of knowledge regarding the effects of wake boat activity on natural resources and provide the Division's position on the operation of wake boats to regulatory authorities responsible for writing and implementing policies that protect aquatic resources held in public trust. ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS OF WAKE BOATING The environmental effects of powerboating have been well documented. Waves from powerboats can increase shoreline erosion, decrease water clarity and plant abundance (Asplund and Cook 1997), and increase phosphorus in the water column (Yousef et al. 1980). Recently, there has been an increase in the popularity of wake boats (Gouday and Girod 2015; National Marine Manufacturers Association 2021) which use ballast, wave shapers, and other hull designs to produce waves that are substantially larger and more powerful than those generated by the typical powerboat. For example, Macfarlane (2018) found that wave energy from ballasted wake -surfing craft was 5-17 times higher than a benchmark speedboat and Marr et al. (2022) found that waves produced by wake boats were 2-3 times higher, had 3-9 times more energy, and were 6-12 times more powerful than a typical motorboat. Mercier-Blais and Prairie (2014) compared wave energies produced by a wake boat operated in wake surfing (10 mph, one ballast tank filled), wake boarding (20 mph, both ballast tanks filled), and cruising (30 mph, empty ballast tanks) modes and discovered wave energies were significantly different between operating modes at a distance of 328 feet. The waves created in wake -surfing mode were on average 1.7 times higher than those created in cruising mode. Similarly, Water Environmental Consultants (2021) showed that waves produced by a wake boat in wake -surfing and wake -boarding mode had 581% and 68% more energy, respectively, than waves produced by the same vessel operated in cruising mode at a distance of 100 feet. Both Gouday and Girod (2015) and Ruprecht et al. (2015) found that wake boats operating in wake -surfing mode produced the largest waves compared to other modes, with maximum wave energy approximately four times that of waves generated in wake -boarding mode. The energy created by such large waves requires a substantial distance to dissipate; Mercier-Blais and Prairie (2014) estimated that the distance required for wake boat -generated waves to dissipate completely is approximately 984 feet. This is further supported by Water Environmental Consultants (2021), who determined that waves from a wake boat in wake -boarding and wake -surfing mode would need distances of 225 feet and 950 feet, respectively, to dissipate to the wave heights observed 100 feet from the same boat in cruising mode. Additionally, Marr et al. (2022) found that wake boat waves required substantial distances to attenuate to reference conditions of a typical motorboat operating in planing mode at a distance of 200 feet for wave height (>500 feet), energy (>575 feet), and power (>600 feet, the maximum distance at which waves were measured in the study). Finally, aftermarket wave -shaping fins are sometimes used to increase wake size even on typical motorboats; Marr et al. (2022) found that these devices increased wave height, energy, and power to create waves similar to wake boats. Shoreline Erosion Shoreline erosion can lead to degradation of fish habitat and water quality due to physical disruption of rooted plants and resuspension of sediment and nutrients and is a concern for lakefront property owners because it results in a loss of property and can damage infrastructure. The main factors that influence shoreline erosion are wave energy, aquatic plants, the slope of the nearshore and bank areas, and 3 MCCALL CITY COUNCIL PH CUP -23-07 COMMENTS Janua►y 11, 2024 Regular Meeting Page 31 of 49 ATTACHMENT 2 characteristics of the bank material. Recreational boating activity can exacerbate erosion by increasing the wave energy that reaches the shoreline (Johnson 1994; Nanson et al. 1994; Bauer et al. 2002). A recent study on 1,700 -acre Whitestone Lake in Ontario (Houser et al. 2021) showed that 61-72% of total wave energy originated from powerboats. Water Environmental Consultants (2021) compared wave energy from wake boats to the monthly maximum wave energy from wind for two locations in Lake Rabun, Georgia; when wake boats passed 100 feet from shore, the wave energy produced in wake -boarding and wake -surfing modes was 553% and 2,546% higher, respectively, than the monthly maximum energy from wind -driven waves. Wake -boat -induced wave energy was 192% higher for wake -boarding mode and 679% higher for wake -surfing mode, compared to wind -driven wave energy, when the wake boats passed 500 feet from shore. It would take between 225 feet (wake -boarding mode) and 950 feet (wake -surfing mode) for waves to decrease to the 0.8 -foot wave height typically observed 100 feet from a cruising wake boat. Even though these distances would allow the waves to decrease to similar heights, the waves from wake -boarding and wake -surfing modes had longer wave periods, and therefore more energy, than the cruising mode wake. Wake boats are designed to create larger wakes than traditional watercraft, therefore the greater energy of waves created by wake boats operating in wake -boarding or wake -surfing mode are likely to exacerbate boat wave induced erosion. Many construction projects that address shoreline erosion occur below the ordinary high-water mark and are regulated by the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy under Part 301 (Inland Lakes and Streams) of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act (NREPA 1994a). As part of the Part 301 permit review process, the Division is consulted to ensure that projects do not adversely affect fisheries resources. In the past several years, applicants frequently have listed erosion from wake boats as part of their rationale for shoreline armoring. This reactive response of hardening shorelines, as opposed to proactively reducing the erosive forces at the shoreline caused by wake boats, will only lead to greater environmental degradation from armored shorelines due to wave reflection off these structures. Sediment Resuspension Sediment resuspension decreases water clarity in lakes, subsequently reducing the ability of fish to find food, the depth to which aquatic plants can grow, and the dissolved oxygen content within the water column (Gardner 1981; Canfield et al. 1985; Chambers and Kaiff 1985; Barrett et al. 1992; Irvine et a1. 1997; Stuart -Smith et al. 2004; Trebitz et al. 2007). In addition, as sediments are resuspended and nutrients become available in the water column, excessive algae growth can occur. Boat wakes resuspend sediments, especially fine substrates such as silt or sand, in shallow waters (USACE 1994) and this resuspension increases with wave energy. Existing studies have shown that resuspended sediments caused by powerboats increase turbidity and phosphorus concentrations in rivers, lakes, and shallow experimental ponds (Yousef et al. 1980; Johnson 1994; USACE 1994; Asplund 1996, 1997; Anthony and Downing 2003). Wake boats have greater potential to exacerbate sediment resuspension through increased wave energy and propeller turbulence. Mercier-Blais and Prairie (2014) determined sediment resuspension was significantly higher than background conditions up to 492 feet from wake boats operating in wake -surfing mode and 656 feet from wake boats operating in wake -boarding mode and was highest when wake boats were operated in wake -surfing mode at a speed of 10 mph. Previous studies of typical powerboats indicated that propellers from outboard engines create turbulence that can reach as deep as 10 feet (Gucinski 1982; Keller 2017). Field testing by Raymond and Galvez (2015) found that wake boat propellers generated watervelocities with the capacity to resuspend unconsolidated sand, silt, and smaller organic materials at a depth of 15 feet while the boat was in wake -boarding or wake -surfing modes. Ray (2020) estimated that modern wake boats can cause sediment resuspension in water up to 33 feet deep. 4 MCCALL CITY COUNCIL PH CUP -23-07 COMMENTS January 11, 2024 Regular Meeting Page 32 of 49 ATTACHMENT 2 Aquatic plants Reductions in native aquatic plants will affect fish populations. Aquatic vegetation provides rearing areas for juvenile fishes (Bryan and Scarnecchia 1992), allows for increased fish growth and total fish biomass (Radomski and Goeman 2001; Nohner et al. 2018), and reduces wave energy in the nearshore zone. While there are no studies that directly address the effects of wake boats on aquatic plants, previous research on powerboats provides a basis for inference. For example, Asplund and Cook (1997) documented 20% reductions in aquatic plant coverage because of recreational boating. They also found that excluding powerboats from experimental plots dramatically increased aquatic plant biomass, coverage, and shoot height compared to areas with boats. Results indicated that powerboats affected plant growth through scouring of the sediments and direct cutting as opposed to increased turbidity, and it was unclear if the amount of plant material lost would have larger -scale or long-term impacts on the ecosystem (Asplund 2000). Murphy and Eaton (1983) documented an inverse relationship between recreational boating traffic and both submersed and emergent aquatic plant abundance in canals in British Columbia. Since wake boats produce greater wave energy, propeller turbulence, and sediment resuspension compared to the powerboats observed in these studies, it follows that wake boats could significantly disrupt native aquatic vegetation in inland lakes. Aquatic Invasive Species Aquatic invasive species (AIS) are non-native organisms that cause significant negative effects when introduced to inland lakes and other aquatic ecosystems. The State of Michigan's AIS Management Plan (MDEQ 2013) prioritizes the need for preventing accidental AIS introductions, which may be greatly increased by wake boats due to the presence of large ballast tanks that can be filled from or emptied directly into the water body they are operating on. For example, research has shown that ballast tanks from wake boats operated on a lake infested with the Zebra Mussel Dreissena polymorpha typically carried 247 Zebra Mussel veligers per sample (Doll 2018), which was much greater than stern drive motor compartments (13 veligers per sample), outboard motor lower units (1 veliger per sample), live wells, or bilges. Although wake boat ballast tanks are typically emptied before trailering, they are rarely ever completely dry which increases the survival time for invasive species potentially trapped inside. Doll (2018) found that 5% of zebra mussel veligers remained alive in ballast tanks after 48 hours. Transportation of other invasive species and fish pathogens is also possible, and the greater propeller turbulence and increased scouring caused by wake boats may result in fragmentation and proliferation of aquatic invasive plants (Keller 20I 7). Compounding factors The effects of wake boats are not the only changes occurring on Michigan's lakes. Shoreline armoring such as seawalls and riprap are being installed throughout the state, and this shoreline armoring reflects wave energy back into the lake as well as laterally toward neighboring properties. Shoreline armoring degrades up to 54% of lake shorelines in some highly populated areas (Wehrly et al. 2012), which are also the areas that receive greater boating traffic. Shoreline armoring increases wave energy in lakes and is often present on lakes with wake boats, thus it exacerbates the effects of wake boats on aquatic resources. These effects are further compounded by the reductions in aquatic vegetation (Radomski and Goeman 2001) and large woody habitat that historically occurred throughout Michigan's inland lakes (Wehrly et al. 2012). Aquatic plants and large woody habitat reduce wave energy in the nearshore zone, so their removal creates circumstances for increased wave erosion and reflection. MCCALL CITY COUNCIL 5 PH CUP -23-07 COMMENTS January 11, 2024 Regular Meeting Page 33 of 49 ATTACHMENT 2 CURRENT BOATING LAW Existing boating law in Michigan states, "A person shall not operate a vessel on the waters of this state at a speed greater than slow --no wake or the minimum speed necessary for the vessel to maintain forward movement when within 100 feet of the shoreline where the water depth is less than 3 feet, as determined by vertical measurement, except in navigable channels not otherwise posted." Furthermore, reckless operation that disregards the safety or rights of others or endangers the property of others is illegal; causing damage with a vessel's wake is a specific example of recklessness identified in the boating regulations (NREPA 1994b). These laws are intended to both promote public safety and prevent damage to aquatic resources but were created prior to the commercialization and popularization of wake boats in Michigan in the early 2000s. As a result of the effects of wake boats outlined above, the Division concludes that the current 100 -foot buffer is not sufficient to protect public trust aquatic resources. POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS The negative effects of a wake boat decline as the boat travels farther away from the shoreline. Increasing the minimum distance that boats are allowed to operate at greater -than -no -wake speed near docks and shoreline would allow more time for wave energy to dissipate and increase protection of nearshore areas. Other jurisdictions have changed or are considering increased buffer distances in response to wake boats. For example, the Oregon Marine Board banned wake boats in three of five zones of the Willamette River and requires that boats maintain extended distances from docks, boathouses, or moorages when operating for the purpose of wake boarding (200 feet) or wake surfing (300 feet) (OAR 2020). However, if increased buffer distance requirements are considered for smaller lakes, there may be less space for any motorized boats to operate above no -wake speed. This situation can be compounded if the lake has large shoals or shallow water areas less than 3 feet deep that would further restrict boat use. Therefore, a minimum lake size could be considered for wake boats. For example, Indiana law restricts operation of a boat at a speed greater than 10 mph on a lake less than 300 surface acres in size (Harwood 2017). Shallow water increases the likelihood that turbulence from wake boat propellers can scour the bottom, disrupt aquatic plants, and resuspend sediment; accordingly, requiring a minimum water depth for wake boat operation would provide additional protection of aquatic resources (Keller 2017). The Division recommends that wake boats operating in wake -surfing or wake -boarding mode do so in water that is at least 15 feet deep. Ecozones, which protect significant ecological areas within lakes where the use of watercraft may be limited or prohibited for fish, wildlife, botanical resource management or the protection of users, could also be implemented to mitigate wake boat damage. The State of Indiana began using "ecozones" to protect aquatic habitat in 2000 (Harwood 2017; Asplund 2000). Education and awareness campaigns are an important component of a comprehensive approach to protecting inland lakes from damage caused by wake boats. Providing operational recommendations in the recreational boating handbook (MDNR 2021), incorporating educational materials on responsible wake boat operation in boating safety classes, and providing informational flyers to new wake boat owners may improve awareness and implementation of best operation practices. Similar practices have been implemented elsewhere; for example the State of Oregon requires boaters to complete an educational program to wake board and wake surf on certain sections of the Willamette River. MCCALL CITY COUNCIL 6 PH CUP -23-07 COMMENTS January 11, 2024 Regular Meeting Page 34 of 49 ATTACHMENT 2 CONCLUSION Wake boats provide a means of outdoor recreation but the waves and propeller turbulence they generate can damage aquatic environments through a number of mechanisms. The cumulative effects of these damages will lead to loss of habitat and resulting declines in aquatic ecosystems and angling opportunity. The recommendations below are intended to provide guidelines under which the recreational opportunities that wake boats provide can be enjoyed in a manner that minimizes harm to the natural resources and property of Michigan citizens: 1. Boats operating in wake -surfing mode or wake -boarding mode, during which boat speed, wave shapers, and/or ballast are set to maximize wave height, should operate at least 500 feet from docks or the shoreline, regardless of water depth. 2. Boats operating in wake -surfing or wake -boarding modes should operate in water at least 15 feet deep. 3. Ballast tanks should always be drained prior to transporting the watercraft over land. 4. Regulatory authorities and the boating industry should implement an education and outreach campaign that targets wake boat operators to improve awareness and implementation of the best practices listed above.

I am a 5th generation local and responsible boat owner. It has been a dream come true to have a slip at the marina to create so many memories with loved ones...and long standing tradition of Payette Lake. Just last year we entertained over 60 different people on our boat and gave them a gift that most will never forget. As our area has experienced growth, the congestion at the boat ramp of families wishing to do the same has gotten more and more nerve wracking. I believe that expanding slips will relieve some of that congestion, stress and trailer parking issues that we currently face. Tourists and locals alike will also appreciate the boardwalk as a healthy stroll to connect with nature. My family encourages the city's support of this expansion and the traditional amenity that the hardworking owners of the marina provide the community. Thank you!

Given the proximity of the City's primary water system intake to a State highway, a gas station, storm drain point sources, many businesses and - pertinent to this hearing - marinas, a detailed City of McCall chemical spill response plan should be developed and in place. The submitted response plan for this marina's operations may be a good start, but may not capture the City's interests, and doesn't coordinate with or respond to a City plan. Instead of such a City plan, the present Source Water Protection Plan chemical spill response entry in Appendix C is simply, "Follow protocol from DEQ remediation staff". Yes, of course, do that, however please have a specific and immediate emergency response plan including correct and sufficient emergency materials, locations, what happens first, second, third. The nearest DEQ office is a hundred miles away. We've already had our first, albeit small, rodeo with regard to chemical spills in the lake. The marina's spill response plan should effectively dovetail with the City's plan, but it's impossible to judge whether that would be the case. 2. A meaningful environmental assessment (EA) as prescribed by MCC 3.7.023.6 for commercial marinas should be conducted by a qualified third -party firm approved by the City. The EA should be responsive to scoping criteria provided by the City and the report made available for public review prior to acceptance given the nature and proximity of the public water intake. The P&Z staff report omits a number of references in the City's comprehensive plan to environmental values, water quality and sustainability of Payette Lake. These are important goals and criteria which should inform the City Council's decision process. The staff report also omits any reference to the 1997 Big Payette Lake water quality management plan and implementation program as adopted by the Idaho Legislature. That plan includes quite a bit of content related to docks and marinas. This is not an emergency project, but is one that raises complex issues; there's ample time to understand the risks, implications, and connected dots involved. Please take your time to make a thoughtful, informed and diligent decision. Thank you.

Two specific examples: 1. Concrete to be used for proposed breakwater anchor blocks should be certified and tested free of PFAS ("forever chemicals", or polyfluoroalkyl substances) which are sometimes used in concrete flow agents. PFAS has been shown to leach from concrete where it is used. It should not be necessary to add such chemicals to concrete for this purpose, and should be a simple matter to stipulate and certify that no PFAS additives shall be used. Finding out after the fact that this had been overlooked could result in a threat to public health and liability for all concerned. 2. Wood products treated with metal and fungicide preservatives may leach into soil and water. Although the pressure treated wood proposed for marina slip rub rails is EPA approved for some uses, please determine whether such treated wood is acceptable, in the City's judgment, for contact with our source water. There are readily available non-toxic alternatives for such pressure treated wood as used for marine rub rails, such as durable, inert HDPE plastics. This appears to be a gray area of suitability because it is likely rare for a marina to be close to a public source water intake. IDEQ seems to have little guidance on this question. It may not be a simple question to answer, but it is an easily avoided one by switching the choice of material. It should be straightforward for the City to ensure that materials to be used in the proposed project do not pose a risk to public health, and could be a regrettable and expensive oversight if missed. And, of course, going just a step further, the public deserves assurances that dangerous, toxic substances are not used in any project in the Shoreline and River Environs Zone where there is the potential for contamination of public waters. This should be a requirement of our zoning code. Thank you.

As a homeowner for a property that will be directly impacted by these improvements, we just wanted to share our thoughts on the project since we won't be able to be there in person.

Bessie Jo, Could you please add this to the city council's packet and enter it into the record. Thank you, Judy Anderson Dear City Council Members, RE: Proposal to expand the Mile High Marina CUP 24-07 January 10, 2024 I want to acknowledge the work done on envisioning this project. I recognize the attempts by the boating industry to take responsibility for the impacts they have and will create. And I acknowledge the good work done by Parks and Rec to try and get some accommodations for the large non- motorized population of lake users. I am truly grateful for the present improvements done to Brown's Park. Thank you. But I would also like to acknowledge and thank the decades of unpaid volunteer work done by the Payette Lake Protective League, the Big Payette Lake Water Quality Council and other citizen stewards fighting to protect and preserve the lake, from setting up a sewer district ,to funding water quality studies; always advocating for the health of the lake and the tributaries , for the quality of our drinking water, and for public access. And having to go to bat again and again when faced with overwhelming pressures from private development. As for this project, I think we know in our hearts that the trajectory of this proposal is going in the absolute opposite direction from where we should be headed as a community. We are in a climate emergency. We are gambling our recreational economy against inevitable drought, higher water temperatures, decreasing flow from the tributaries, erratic melt off, lower snowpack, and of course wildfire. Every aspect of climate change is exacerbating the threats we already have to this lake and our well-being. To bring down carbon emissions and protect our lake- increasing its resilience- we have to be courageous and put some limits on our desires, ourselves and our activities. And you as elected leaders must be brave and make the choice not for today's desires but for tomorrow's needs for a healthy and clean lake. Additionally there is also the issue of equity. We are talking here about a publicly shared commons, that we all have an interest in. One man's pleasure cannot impede so many others. I suggest that the city work with the county, invoking the Waterways Management Act and user conflict and pass an ordinance to set aside 2 days a week for strictly non -motorized use of the lake. Let us have a sublime experience of a still, quiet lake in the middle of summer MCCALL CITY COUNCIL PH CUP -23-07 COMMENTS January 11, 2024 Regular Meeting Page 44 of 49 ATTACHMENT 2 echoing only with the laughter of children, beaches where we can swim out as far as we want and canoe without fear of swamping. What if it is so marvelous that we want to expand it to more days? What if some new people come to our lake because it is quiet and safe and less hectic and they can really relax. Let us see that a future not dominated by fossil fuels is indeed not only tenable but perhaps preferred. I ask that you refuse this proposal of expanding themarina and work to institute a fair use of the lake by establishing days of non- motorized use only. Sincerely.

Park Street McCall, ID 83638 Re: Mile High Marina Expansion Dear Councilmembers, Please seriously consider the impacts of the proposed Marina Expansion (CUP 23-07) at this point in time. If the City chooses to go along with the expansion, it should put more conditions on the permit before it is allowed to move forward. The marina expansion caters to a particular user group who have an outsized impact on Big Payette Lake. According to an informal survey performed by the Marina, the majority of those on the waitlist for a slip do not live in Valley County; many of them have a second home here. understand the argument that adding 90 slips might curtail boat and truck traffic, but I am concerned the opposite will happen to our lake, that the expanded marina will encourage more motorized crafts on a more consistent basis. The City gets 4% of gross sales on the slips as per the documents in the application. I'm not an expert in financial details regarding rental arrangements, but it's worth asking this question: If the City allows the expansion, is this an adequate amount of money for the City to cover maintenance costs, any repairs to the dock and boardwalk? Who is responsible for maintenance and repairs? For example, if ice damage occurs on the boardwalk, who will pay? The marina owner or citizens of McCall? As we reckon with growth in our community, the City should consider implementing a daily launch fee. In Tahoe, for example, a one-time launch fee for residents is $17 ($175 season pass) and for non-residents, $60.00 ($600 season pass). As boat traffic continues to increase on Big Payette Lake, funds for staffing and enforcement of existing ordinances will be needed. A launch fee seems logical. It sounds nice that the mariana expansion includes nine bicycle parking spaces; however, I'm doubtful that "a significant proportion of users would arrive at the site by bicycle." Per the documents in the application, Valley County states as one of its objectives: "Maintaining and enhancing amenities to ensure the provision of a high -quality recreation experience and higher quality facilities." My question is "high -quality recreation experience" for whom? The County's second objective is to ensure "public safety of water -based recreationalists, including both motorized and non -motorized boating." Providing more accessibility to motorized boat users to an already overcrowded lake is NOT safe. In addition, the powerboats on the lake will only increase with the addition of powersport dealers and rental shops in town. The timing of the marina expansion and new boat and rental shops in town is overwhelming. MCCALL CITY COUNCIL PH CUP -23-07 COMMENTS January 11, 2024 Regular Meeting Page 48 of 49 ATTACHMENT 2 User conflicts do exist and will worsen if we don't consider all users of the lake as outlined in the Waterways Management Plan. Instead of accepting a proposal that increases motorized crafts on the lake, how about seeking a proposal for a boathouse, a place non -motorized users can store their kayaks,, canoes, and paddle boards. Let's create infrastructure for walkers and bikers. Let's create spaces that invite a more diverse user group in McCall. I know this is a difficult issue to contend with, but thank you for your thoughtful consideration of the various aspects and long-term impacts a project like this could have on our community.

One of the best things about McCall has always been how it uniquely embraces the culture... the lake, the ski town vibe, etc. The ski roof is not hurting anyone and if it is ordered removed, it will be yet one more loss and one step closer to the "old" McCall disappearing forever.

Personally, I was never a fan of the original roof and do not find this building to reflect much of what I would expect from such a resort town. The skis on the roof, however, provide an improvement to the building and brings it more in line with the character that would be expected from the city buildings. Furthermore, such efforts by the city to not respect the private property rights of building owners (and their tenants) only serve to replicate the damage that similar efforts had on the city (and the surrounding areas of Valley County) after the recession of the late 2000's. In the early 2010's, Valley County had an unemployment rate of about 12%, one of the highest counties in Idaho. If a business is going to fail in McCall, it should be due to free market forces and lack of business acumen by its owners, not because of heavy-handed city regulations. Against I agree with the original decision to not approve this roof. The owner could have avoided a lot of problems by seeking approval prior to installing the roof. It's ugly and detracts from the downtown area. Thank you. For I am writing in support of the appeal of AA -23-12. I fail to understand why the decorative roof facade is unacceptable.

And in my opinion, well done. It's side - street location does not interfere with the quaint look of the main street buildings. It's actually a fun surprise to discover this building! And it looks better than some other nearby buildings. I believe it is good for surrounding businesses, because people notice it and tell others. This draw may help relieve some of the traffic congestion (both vehicle and pedestrian) on the main streets, and in turn, promote more shopping on side streets. I am for allowing the owners to keep the "water ski roof". It was well done and fits with the history of McCall. As long as it's kept in good repair I have I see no issue. Allow this business to keep the unique ski roof they have put on. Looks fantastic. The ski roof is exemplary of McCall's fun and active home grown fun. No more dangerous than snow falling off other vendors stores. Leave the skis alone. If this is a ski town they should be allowed. They look cool.

McCall is loosing its small town appeal which can only be addressed by limiting over reach. Huge homes are being built daily and changing our Idaho community.

The theme is within the scope of sports offered in McCall, the colors are a nice addition to the downtown area. During snow season the snow should rapidly shed from the roof which is probably safer than having it build up on the original roof perimeter where it could fall unpredictably or require considerable effort keep it removed.

If safety is a concern, then have them build something to protect the public. Although I don't see how the skis are any more of a factor for snow shed than the original roof. They can install the same devices used elsewhere to break up the snow shed. As for aesthetics, I absolutely approve of the quirkiness and ingenuity of the roof. I believe it adds charm. For For I am opposed to the requirement to remove the skis from the roof of this building. I am of the opinion that this decor fits in with the "theme" of McCall.

This business has decorated the exterior of their store with vintage water skis and I immediately loved them. The decor represents our town's love of Payette Lake and the recreation it provides us. It is my opinion and wish that the skis attached to the building on the corner of Lenora and First Streets stay in place. I feel safe walking the sidewalks underneath that building. I appreciate the charm it adds to our "Ski Town, USA." I absolutely love the vibrancy and diversity it brings to our downtown. In closure, I am not sure what future vision our planners have for our town, but I sincerely hope they do not wash over our collective love of recreation, free design, and fun spirit.

From taxing to sign colors (the city turned down my request for the color white in my sign when at the same time in 2018, Albertsons had a VERY WHITE SIGN sitting on the building and at the street). This business is adding creativity to our community. They are investing THEIR money into an improvement and they are utilizing some creativity to increase noticability for the purpose of surviving being a small business. The city of McCall claims to support the little guy, but they don't seem to be requiring folks who bought up.commercial property during the downturn, whojust sit on that commercial property not requiring anything of them and certainly not requiring them to be asthetically acceptable over closed up, unused or used for personal storage. So why go after this business?? Let them thrive, let them be creative and SUPPORT THEM. Its hard to understand how the city would want the skis down, when McPaws just had a large mural done on their back wall, that is very distracting to drivers.

Not to mention, it's tiring that McCall City has all these rules for how things should look, when not everyone is in agreement. I have seen things approved in the past that do not follow these rules, as they don't seem to be adhered to fairly across the board. Maybe we can let business owners, property owners and locals express their creativity and contribute to the local "art scene" without using up a bunch of tax payer dollars as the -City has done in the past. Let's use those tax dollars wisely...towards infrastructure and sidewalks, not non- contributing art installations that fall apart as soon as winter hits. Yea for the skis!! It adds character and fits the town. It literally harms no one. I think the Ski's look great, McCall needs more stuff like this. Enough of the overreach!

A determination that a building, located in the snowy mountains, cannot have skis --which shed snow-- as part of its unique decor screams dictatorship, not leadership. One of the draws to McCall has been the locally made, locally created goods businesses showcase. Crafting a creative, attention grabbing business front speaks to the talent of the business owners and supporting staff. What studies has McCall had completed that provided definitive evidence skis, as part of the roof, adversely impact... anything? And how dangerous were the potential adverse consequence(s).

They are screwed directly on top the existing roofing material. Leaving me to wonder will they will become a hazard when faced with freeze thaw cycles and heavy snow. They add character. I can think of way more unsightly areas coming into town. While, I'm at it, our Holiday lights are terrible ( besides the tree). Half don't work, they don't match, etc...

Too many buildings are beginning to look the same with all they're modern, muted tones. This is a ski town! It should resemble such! Provides tasteful uniqueness. It is different, but in no way offensive. If anything, it will encourage folks to venture off of main street and providing more traffic for local businesses. I support the business putting skis on the roof edge. I think that is a creative design that adds to the ski town feeling of McCall. It's unique and reflects the town image. The skis should stay. We love the look of them on the building! McCall is a lake town with lots of lake activities such as waterskkiing and the skis on the building reflect this. We spend a lot of time in McCall and love to support the small businesses here - especially the ones that are a little different. Q, Unique. Hope it's not too difficult to maintain. They look good I feel in a ski town that things of this nature should not be questioned this is a waste of time for the community. The city council members need to be changed if they feel these matters need to be addressed.

As a frequent visitor to McCall, I like the way they look: They express the unique nature of McCall. The creativity of the building owner is fun! Strict adherence to your policy makes McCall boring and isn't always in the best interest of McCall. Let the skis stay!

It's amazing to us how much McCall openly dislikes the tourist industry which is their "bread and butter"! It's time McCall opened its eyes and embraced the population that supports them. What a welcoming enhancement the metamorphosis made by the business adding water skis to the drab 60's block roof on Lenora St. Continuing to disapprove of the unique ventures of this and other businesses wanting to entice customers will just lead to more boarded store fronts and complaints about how the town is going downhill. Look at small towns that "embrace" the tourists that they serve —Leavenworth, WA, Lake Geneva, WI, Moab, UT, Estes Park, CO, Wimberley, TX— towns that strive to create unique experiences for its visitors.

Planning and Zoning appropriately sighted concerns for both adherence to City standards and public safety in their decision last July regarding the skis that have been attached to the roof of Lake Town Clothing Company. As an.Architect, I have no objection to the general concept of using skis as a design element. I am, however, concerned that the Commission was not afforded the opportunity to review the design and installation details prior to their use, and do not feel that this should be overlooked. While the article in the Star -News made to reference as to why the Commission was not consulted, in addition to whatever action the Commission determines appropriate for Lake Town Clothing Company, the Commission may wish to consider exploring additional preemptive ways of reaching the business community regarding City standards and reinforce the roll and services of the Planning and Zoning Commission.

I respect what the town has done over the years to maintain the integrity of the looks of a small mountain resources it. I certainly understand the rules that were once made to ensure that ambiance. That being said, change does not have to be considered a bad thing. I feel that the owners of Lakeshore Shop kept the flavor of McCall in mind when they added the skis to the exterior of their shop. This design speaks to the countless hours of enjoyment McCall has offered on the lake and ski slopes. It has added a tasteful flair that has to make any passerby smile. The once tired look of the shop's facade is now energizing and adds to the quaint feel of the town. I have no personal affiliation with the owners, but rather experiences as a customer. These people are kind, friendly, helpful, and have gone above and beyond to be of assistance to me as a customer. Isn't that the type of people we want as a part of the McCall experience? Please reconsider your former decision requiring the removal of the skis, and look at the bigger picture that they represent.

What I take issue with is the business owner knew in advance of installing them that a permit was needed. For whatever reason, he chose not to apply for a permit. Should he be rewarded for this decision? I think not. If the appeal is approved, what does that say to other business owners who went through the proper process and had to make modifications to their plans, or were denied their requests? What does it say to those in the future who may want to do something against the city code? If we disagree with the code as it is written, proper channels need to be followed to change it.

It's not really even a roof but a focal point. Hotel McCall should have to remove the old vehicle from the sidewalk that is a hazard on the corner. Mile High marina has oars on their building as well. Home town sports has a paddle board in front of their building in summer. Other places have things as well but they are local people who seem to not be harassed for their catchy ideas. Maybe we could figure out a way to remove dead animals from the roadsides around town that rot year round from road kill or go back to spend time to police people wearing a mask to walk 10 feet into a restaurant to sit down and eat without the mask, that makes perfect sense.
