WHEREAS, MCC 6-3-030 states that, in the event that McCall City Council determines that the
existing City sewer system, whether collection systems or treatment facilities, are at or
approaching their respective capacity limits such that the issuance of additional service hook-up
permits would lead to harmful consequences to the general welfare of the City and its environs,
the Council by resolution shall limit the issuance of additional service hook-ups in a manner
designed to preclude such consequences until such time as additional capacity has been
developed. The precise limits, the manner of allocating same, and the determination of when to
impose or relax them shall be established by regulations to be promulgated by the Council in
conjunction with the imposition of any such limits; and
WHEREAS, MCC 2-2-020 states that, prior to the issuance of a building permit the Building
Inspector shall require evidence of approval of sewer hook-up, if applicable to the building in

system for disposal of treated effluent was at capacity; and
WHEREAS, Holladay Engineering Company (HECO), acting as the City's engineer, by letter on
October 28, 2004 concurred with the analysis of JUB, recommended a moratorium on new
building permits until additional analysis could be conducted and improvements implemented,
and informed the City that, in its capacity as City Engineer, HECO would no longer be issuing
wastewater will -serve letters on the City's behalf until additional analysis could be conducted

WHEREAS, the City by Ordinance No. 809 on April 11, 2005 implemented a 182-day
moratorium on zoning, subdivision, planned unit development and/or scenic route applications
within the city limits of McCall in order to address wastewater capacity and zoning and
subdivision issues; and
WHEREAS, the City by letter on April 12, 2005 requested that the Valley County Board of
Commissioners extend the moratorium on zoning, subdivision, planned unit development and/or
scenic route applications to the City of McCall Impact Area of unincorporated Valley County

McCall lifts its moratorium; and
WHEREAS, prior to the implementation of a moratorium by the City of McCall and Valley
County, the City received applications for 22 subdivisions containing over 950 potential lots that
are not subject to the moratorium and could, if built upon, add wastewater flows to the City or
District collection systems; and
WHEREAS, there are numerous undeveloped, underdeveloped, or redevelopable lots within the
City of McCall and the Impact Area that are not subject to the moratorium and could, if build
upon, add wastewater flows to the City or District collection systems; and
WHEREAS, on June 23, 2005 the City of McCall contracted with CH2M Hill to serve as City
Engineer and to provide general engineering and planning services, including wastewater
engineering and planning services, to the City; and
WHEREAS, CH2M Hill has concluded an initial analysis of the City's wastewater collection,
treatment, and disposal system and has determined that elements of the existing City sewer
system are at or approaching their respective capacity limits such that the issuance of unrestricted
additional service hook-up permits would lead to harmful consequences to the general welfare of
the City and its environs.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is resolved by the Mayor and City Council of the City of McCall,
Valley County, Idaho, as follows:
Section 1: McCall City Council finds that the existing City sewer system, including the
collection systems and treatment facilities, are at or approaching their respective capacity limits
such that the issuance of unrestricted additional service hook-up permits would lead to harmful
consequences to the general welfare of the City and its environs.
Section 2: To preclude such consequences until such time as additional capacity has been
developed, the McCall City Council limits service hook-ups to 175 equivalent dwelling units
annually.
Section 3: Service hook-ups will be limited through limiting the issuance of building permits
for structures requiring wastewater hook-ups or where such building permit will cause an
increase in wastewater flow due to change in, or intensification of, use within the City of McCall
and the Impact Area.
Section 4: McCall City Council directs staff to develop a system for ranking applications and
distributing building permits consistent with the goals of the City of McCall Comprehensive
Plan.
Section 5: McCall City Council directs staff to develop and implement an annual program of
Infiltration and Inflow (I/I) mitigation improvements to limit non -wastewater flows within the
City wastewater collection system.
Section 6: McCall City Council directs staff to develop and implement a program of annual
improvements to the City wastewater land application system to provide land application
capacity consistent with the capacity of the existing City wastewater treatment plant and winter
storage pond.
Section 7: McCall City Council directs staff to immediately commence planning for
additional wastewater treatment capacity consistent with the long range needs of the City of
McCall as described in the City of McCall Comprehensive Plan.
Section 8: McCall City Council directs staff to analyze the impact of the annual UI
mitigation program, the annual land application improvement program, and other capital
investment in the sewer collection, treatment, effluent storage, and effluent disposal systems on
the City's sewer rate structure and to bring any recommendations for changes to this structure to
the City Council for consideration.
Section 9: McCall City Council will determine when to impose additional limitations or
relax the limitations imposed in Section 2 above at the following times:
• Upon completion of the first I/I capital improvement project and the City Engineer's
quantification of any additional capacity made available by the improvements.
• Upon completion of the first land application improvement project and the City
Engineer's quantification of any additional capacity made available by the
improvements.
• Upon completion of subsequent annual I/I and land application projects and the City
Engineer's quantification of any additional capacity made available by the
improvements.
• Upon completion of the City Engineer's analysis of actual wastewater flows per
equivalent dwelling unit and the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality review and
acceptance of such analysis.
• Upon completion of capacity improvements to and/or replacement of the existing
wastewater treatment facility and/or winter storage pond.

Memorandum
Date: July 27, 2005
To: Lindley Kirkpatrick
From: Roger Millar
Re: Proposed Building Permit Ranking Process and Form
Lindley,
Community Development has reviewed permit activity over the past five years and has
determined the appropriate allocation of annual permits to each month of the year. Our analysis
is attached for your review. The process for allocating permits would be as follows:
Building Permit Ranking Process
1. Building permit applications need to be filed by the 15th of each month to be considered
in the following month's allocation.
2. All applications will be reviewed by the plans examiner.
3. All applications will be evaluated by staff and assigned a score based upon the criteria
described below.
4. All applications deemed complete and approved by the plans examiner by the first of
each month will be eligible for that month's allocation.
5. At the first of the month staff will issue building permits to the top ranked applications
until the month's allocation has been permitted.
6. Staff will issue permits to applications with the same scores by selecting applications on
a random basis until the applications with the same scores have been issued permits or
the month's allocation has been assigned.
7. Any permits that are not paid for by the end of the first full week of the month will be
cancelled (the application will be managed per item #7 below) and new permits will be
issued to the highest ranked remaining applications.
8. Applications that are not permitted will be notified and given the option of carrying over
to the following month or withdrawing. A decision from the applicant will be required by
the 15th of the month.
Comprehensive Plan Basis for Evaluation Criteria
Building permit evaluation criteria are based upon the relevant goals and objectives of the
McCall Area Comprehensive Plan (July 2000). The applicability of each objective to the
evaluation is discussed below. A draft Building Permit Evaluation and Ranking Form is attached
for your review.
