CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL
Mayor Eimers called the regular meeting of the McCall City Council to order at
7:15 p.m. Mayor Eimers, Council Member Muller, Council Member Robertson,
Member Bertram, and Council Member Greer (On Conference Telephone)
answered roll call. A quorum was present. City staff members present were City
Attorney Tammy Zokan, Deputy City Manager and Community Development

Manager Tina Clark.
Council Member Eimers led the Council in the Pledge of Allegiance
PUBLIC HEARING
At 7:20 p.m., Mayor Eimers opened the Public Hearing on AB 04-52 Resolution 04-
02 Golf Course Fee Changes
Allan Morrison, Golf Professional at the McCall Golf Course, reviewed the proposed fee
changes. He indicated that the proposed rate increase should yield a $74,000 increase
in revenues. One of the ways the McCall Golf Course hopes to increase rounds is
through a family program. The family program will be offered on Sunday nights starting
at 4pm at the driving range, for the cost of $5 you get a large bucket of balls and group
golf tips from the golf pros. Then at 6pm you can play nine holes for $10 per person.
Other new programs include: unlimited golf starting at 2 pm at a discounted rate, a
reduced rate at 5pm, and a reduced pass of $400 Monday thru Thursday for unlimited
play.
Lindley Kirkpatrick addressed the Council asking that they add two items to the draft
resolution. In section two, "annual season passes", add Monday through Thursday at a
Printed 5/13/2004

City Council Minutes
rate of $400. In the "nine holes" section, add family night on Sundays after 6pm at a
rate of $10 per person.
Council Member Eimers asked if the additions were approved by the Golf Management
Team. Mr. Kirkpatrick replied that they were.
Don Eberle, Lake Street, McCall, said the McCall Golf Course is an entity that the City
needs to preserve and support. Mr. Eberle suggested promoting a recreation tax.
Bill Killen, 921 Lick Creek, commended the City Council and staff on the changes to the
McCall Golf Course fees. He suggested a three or five year pass, as opposed to an
annual pass and stressed the importance of a good marshal program.
Hearing no further comments, Council Member Eimers closed the public hearing.
Council Member Robertson said there were good ideas that came up and that the Golf
Management Team is exploring some of those ideas.
Council Member Bertram moved to approve resolution 04-02 as amended, to add
Monday thru Thursday at a rate of $400, in the nine holes section, and add family
night on Sundays after 6pm at a rate of $10 per person. Council Member Muller
seconded the motion. In a roll call vote, Council Member Eimers, Council
Member Muller, Council Member Robertson, Council Member Bertram, and
Council Member Greer voted aye. The motion carried.
AB 04-53 Zoning Code Amendments Public Hearing: Height Limits
Mayor Eimers opened the Public Hearing.
Lindley Kirkpatrick reviewed the proposed ordinance change. He explained that the
Zoning Code currently limits all structures to 35 feet in height, with exceptions for
church steeples, antennae, and other unoccupied structures. The Planning and Zoning
Commission has been looking at this issue at the work session level. It came up during
the Comprehensive Plan update, which was adopted in 2000, and also during the
Downtown Master Plan development, which was adopted in 1997. The Downtown
Master Plan specifically recommends an increase in height to 50 feet. The Planning
and Zoning Commission, through their work sessions and a joint work session with the
City Council, discussed and developed a draft ordinance and conducted a public
hearing on February 10, 2004. The P&Z's recommendation following that public
hearing was to adopt the draft ordinance. The ordinance change will allow occupied
structures taller than 35 feet as a conditional use in the Central Business, Commercial,
General Commercial and Industrial districts. This is to allow diversity of building design
and building type within the community, to encourage infill development, and increased
density. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends that this draft ordinance
be adopted.

City Council Minutes
Chuck Griffin asked if the City has considered exempting the area adjacent to Payette
Lake from structures taller than 35 feet. Mr. Kirkpatrick responded that there was some
discussion at the P&Z public hearing, such as restricting taller buildings immediately
around the shoreline or within another specific area.
Question from the floor, asking if the zoning code amendment had been proposed for a
City wide vote. Mr. Kirkpatrick said that as a zoning code change and it can be adopted
by the City Council by ordinance.
Alana Shoemaker, 460 Smitty Ave, asked if the City Council decides to have three
readings, over what time period is it stretched. Mr. Kirkpatrick said the City Council can
adopt any schedule they want, but that typically the meetings would be consecutive.
Dave Siegle, 1684 Trails Drive, said he's not against growth in McCall; growth is
natural, necessary, and healthy. However it would be a mistake if McCall allowed a
high rise structure in the downtown area, especially on lake front property.
Environmental, construction, traffic, and parking are concerns to the citizens of McCall.
If the City of McCall reaches a point when it feels it's growing and would like to allow
high rise buildings, then the City of McCall should address where and if they should be
built.
Leslie Siegle, 1684 Trails Drive, said she doesn't want to see big buildings blocking the
beautiful town of McCall.
Frances Ford, 400 McGinnis, submitted a letter for the City Council from Joy Hamilton,
445 Smitty Ave. Ms. Ford said as long as McCall's buildings are small and in
perspective, everyone can enjoy this area. She asked if the City of McCall decides to
put multi -story buildings downtown where the infrastructure is, how will they know that
the present infrastructure will support it? Ms. Ford said it would be a travesty and an
insult to the citizens of McCall to have this issue decided in one meeting. Mr.
Kirkpatrick said the availability of adequate utilities is one of the requirements for a
conditional use permit.
Patrick Phillips, 344 Carmen Drive, said he's seen other instances which turn into `view
wars', but that he doesn't see a problem making small changes to the maximum height
limit ordinance. The City should tread lightly and slowly to not make any hasty
decisions.
Bryan Ransom, 1075 Club Road, said if the City of McCall is going to enforce its sign
ordinance, then the City needs to keep it clean, unique, and special.
Kathy Malone, 2141 East Side Drive, presented a letter from her son,Matt Anderson,
part-owner of the Yacht Club, and said if the height restriction is lifted every building
downtown will be demolished and rebuilt. After the construction is complete the rents
will be raised and the locals will be unable to afford the same space, locals and small
businesses will be displaced to other locations or closed forever.

Karen Leasy, 301 Lenora Street, reminded the Council Members that on Lenora Street
between Third Street and First Street there are five out of ten businesses open seven
days a week, and that they are not Monday thru Friday operations.
Neal Thompson, 3588 Longview Road, said he's been a contractor in the McCall area
since 1989, and has watched people push the limit to 35 feet. He asked Mr. Kirkpatrick
for clarification regarding the conditional use permit process. Mr. Kirkpatrick said that
there is not a maximum height limit specified in the draft ordinance, and that each
project will be reviewed based on the conditional use permit criteria. Mr. Thompson
said he is in favor of raising the height limit, but the City needs to be careful in the
process.
Don Eberle, said the height and scale of structures will affect the City of McCall
aesthetically and indefinitely, it is unwise to give developers priority especially those
who are newly arrived or from out-of-town. The City needs to form a vision for the
future of McCall and if the City does not wish to lose the small town character of the
community, then the City needs to say no to the building height increase.
Andy Laidlaw, 120 Mather Road, said he has practiced architecture for the past 30
years and agrees with the planning principle to increase density where services exist,
which can create a richness of environment. He doesn't agree with the proposed
ordinance, as he feels it's not proactive but it's reactive to whatever the developer's
proposal is, therefore needs to be modified.
Liz Warner, 156 Carefree Lane, agrees with what has been said, but asked Council to
use caution about changing the ordinance. If it becomes acceptable to have a four-
story building, when will it be acceptable to have a five -story building. Ms. Warner
asked if the City Council needs to address this ordinance, to please have a referendum
that the public can vote on.
Stanley Dean, 850 Shelia Lane, said the City of McCall needs to consider that with an
increase in development there is an increase in crime, plus the threat of environmental
issues.
Michael Pedersen, 431 McGinnis, said that views of Lick Creek, the area around
Blackwell Lake, and Brundage Mountain, are where the community's wealth lies and
that can't be sold.
Dave Selzer, 710 Spruce, said he feels a sense of community here in McCall. He fears
the development of McCall will result in another Sun Valley. Mr. Selzer wanted to know
if a study had been done to help guide the City of McCall in the development process, if
not can the City of McCall look at other cities, and how can the public access this
information once it is obtained. Mr. Kirkpatrick responded that the Comprehensive Plan
is primarily the guide for growth development it is the most complete comprehensive
statement that the community has adopted. At an informal level the Planning and

Zoning Commission has looked at how other communities are dealing with specific
development issues, but no formal surveys have been done.
Kim Zeydel, 195 Moonridge, said the City needs to think about the parking issue, not
the height issue.
Ed Elliott said he is opposed to anything that will change the scale of the community.
Charles Taber, 815 Pinedale Street, said he concurs with the general opinion.
Cindy Taber, 815 Pinedale Street, said property is selling about three times what Valley
County assessed the property, and if the City decides to go with the unlimited height
restrictions then there should be tighter restraints.
Cindy Tappe, Aspen Alley, said she works at the McCall Store and sees tourists every
day and they don't want the unlimited height restriction either. They do not want to see
the City of McCall turned into something they are trying to get away from.
Diane Evans Mack, 230 Buckcamp Lane, urges the City Council to not make any
changes to the 35 foot height limit on new buildings at this time. She said she
encourages the City Council to retain the current system of requiring developers to
apply for a variance and to include in that process a public hearing on any proposal that
exceed the 35 feet height limit. She is in favor of in -fill development, but not at the
expense of the downtown area.
Dan Krahn, 906 Ann Street, said he doesn't support the way the ordinance is proposed,
but he does feel that the current zoning code should be modified to make it more
reasonable to developers or local business.
Dean Martens, 321 CeCe Way, said this ordinance is unacceptable leaving the height
limit open, don't take it away from the public let them have their say and don't hold this
to one reading.
Alana Shoemaker, 460 Smitty Ave, finds it disturbing that someone thinks the
ordinance needs to be changed and that it goes against the Downtown Master Plan.
There are problems here and maybe the City should live with what is has until
something comes along or the City does more research before making a decision.
Kim Zeydel, 195 Moonridge, wanted to know where the snow will be stored so that the
City can have these high rises.
Judy Van Komen, 614 Syringa, heard that the commission is disagreeing with this
problem of height restrictions, so who is the City in a dispute with? Mr. Kirkpatrick said
the discussions about changing the height requirement have occurred at P&Z meetings.

City Council Minutes
Irwin Mulnick, 42 Garden Lane, said he is hoping that the City Council is being driven by
the community and not by potential development or financial gain.
Larry Craig, 1826 Fairway Loop, said before the City Council decides to raise the height
limit, it should look at a design review and decide what the town should look like.
Dottie Moore, 441 Floyde Street, said she is on the P&Z and voted against this proposal
and is still opposed to it.
Hearing no further comments, Mayor Eimers closed the public hearing.
Council Member Muller said he is not willing to give the ability to increase the height
limit. It might be conducive to relax the height limit, however the lake shore,
commercial districts, and central business districts should not be infringed upon in any
way. There may be some commercial areas that deserve some height differences than
what the City currently has and will require more time to study that to come up with
some type of design standards. A CUP can give City Council discretion as to what can
or cannot be built. Council Member Muller feels that sewer and water issues need to be
addressed first, and at this time is not willing to decide upon a CUP for the above areas
under any circumstances or see relaxation of the height limitations until the situation is
researched further.
Council Member Eimers said he is very pro -business he wants to support businesses in
McCall and see them succeed and is moved by the show of people at this hearing.
Council Member Bertram said the Council has listened to the hopes and dreams of the
citizens of McCall, and this is not the time to change. She is satisfied knowing that the
community does not want to see this issue in its current form.
Council Member Robertson said if the City does decide to make changes to the
ordinance in the future, it will be brought back before the Planning and Zoning
Commission for more discussion before bringing it to City Council for a decision.
Council Member Greer (via telephone) said he agrees with the City Council and the
public and doesn't feel that at this time the height restriction needs to be addressed.
Council Member Muller moved that the City Council not approve the change to
the height restrictions. Council Member Bertram seconded the motion. In a roll
call vote, Council Member Eimers, Council Member Greer, Council Member
Muller, Council Member Robertson, and Council Member Bertram voted aye. The
motion carried.
During the meeting, one break was taken from 9:50 p.m. to 10:10 p.m.

AB 04-54 Zoning Code Amendments Public Hearing: Self Storage Units
Mr. Lindley Kirkpatrick said that storage units are currently prohibited in all districts
except the General Commercial district, where they are a permitted use. The General
Commercial District is along 3rd Street from down town to the south end of Deinhard.
This proposed ordinance would add storage units as a conditional use in the R-10, R-5,
R-1, Central Business (CB), and Commercial (C) districts. It would also change them in
the General Commercial (GC) district from permitted to a conditional use and would
allow them as a permitted use in the Industrial district. The Planning and Zoning
Commission recommends approval of this ordinance.
Council Member Bertram asked if the Residential district inclusion came out of the
public hearing or was a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Mr. Kirkpatrick said when this was originally noticed for the Planning and Zoning
Commission Public Hearing, it was a conditional use permit in all districts, including the
A Residential and B Residential districts. This proposal is slightly different than what
was considered at the Planning and Zoning Commission Public Hearing. The
Commission changed the proposal as result of comments at that public hearing.
Curt Spalding, 304 Burns Road, said he opposes this ordinance because it would allow
self storage units in residential zoning districts. It would be unfair to change the rules
after the people have made the residential investments and commitments. Self storage
complexes do not make the best neighbors, the lights, noise, congestion, and round-
the-clock activity would degrade residential property values. The residents and
developers have the right to know what community standards are and should be very
clear. Mr. Kirkpatrick clarified that Mr. Spalding's property is in the A Residential district
which is not included in this proposal. It was included in the original proposal that the
Planning and Zoning Commission considered , but has been eliminated. This proposal
would not affect the A and B Residential districts.
Council Member Bertram asked if storage units could be included as part of a Planned
Unit Development (PUD) under the current proposal. Mr. Kirkpatrick said he didn't think
the current PUD ordinance allows mixed use for commercial and residential storage.
Council Member Eimers closed the public hearing as there were no additional
comments.
Council Member Robertson said it was his understanding during the Planning and
Zoning work session on February 10, 2004, that one of the big benefits to these three
subjects is to "clean up" the code.
Council Member Bertram said she has no problem with the ordinance, but would like
the Residential districts removed from the proposal. There are three other areas that
weren't allowed before and she doesn't feel that storage units belong in a residential
district. She would also like to see some provisions for PUDs made.

City Council Minutes
Council Member Muller asked if he were a developer and wanted to build a
condominium on a 10 acre site, could he put a residential storage unit for the people
that buy a condominium on that site? Mr. Kirkpatrick said that a residential
development with storage for those units can be done under the current code, as long
as they are storage units for that site.
Council Member Bertram moved to continue the Zoning Code Amendment Public
Hearing: Self Storage Units AB 04-54 to the next Council Meeting on April 22,
2004. Council Member Eimers seconded the motion. All Council Members voted
aye. The motion carried.
AB 04-55 Zoning Code Amendments Public Hearing: Churches and other
religious uses
Lindley Kirkpatrick said currently churches are prohibited in all districts except the
General Commercial (GC) district, where they are a permitted use. In most
communities, churches require a conditional use permit. The proposed ordinance
change requires churches to obtain a conditional use permit in all zoning districts,
including in the General Commercial district where they are now a permitted use. The
Planning and Zoning Commission did conduct a public hearing on February 10, 2004,
and the Commission recommended that the City Council adopt the proposed
ordinance.
Neal Thompson, 3580 Longview Road, representing Payette Lakes Christian Center,
requested the ordinance change and hopes that it will be considered.
Council Member Eimers closed the public hearing as there were no additional
comments.
Council Member Bertram asked why the Planning and Zoning Commission redefined
the zoning definition for church camps. Mr. Kirkpatrick said the Planning and Zoning
Commission took churches out of the definition of private community uses and made
them a separate definition. Camps are a conditional use in most districts and there are
additional conditional use permit requirements for camps.
Council Member Robertson added that the church camps are looked at strictly because
of lighting, and noise issues, putting camps in a different category. He mentioned that
all three of the topics tonight have been in accordance with the McCall Area
Comprehensive Plan.
Council Member Muller moved to continue the public hearing on Zoning Code
Amendment: Churches and other religious uses until the next City Council
meeting April 22, 2004. Council Member Eimers seconded the motion. All
Council Members voted aye. The motion carried.

PUBLIC COMMENT
Mayor Eimers called for public comment.
Lem Malone, 2141 East Side Drive, said he is unaware that McCall has or had a
problem with people being accosted by drunks stumbling out of bars.
Bryan Ransom, 1075 Club Road, said he's sure the City Council is aware of his
situation with the City Police Department. Prior to his situation, his stepson was
harassed by McCall Police, Idaho State Police, and Valley County. Mr. Ransom left a
list with City Council showing the different times and reasons why his stepson was
detained by law enforcement officials.
Tim Garber, 150 Sunny Way, presented a letter to the City Council regarding his
stepbrother Alan McClure.
Tracey Smith, Executive Director for the McCall Chamber of Commerce, wanted to
make a clarification about a news report on television asking the Chamber of
Commerce if they wanted to make a public statement regarding DUI arrests in the
McCall area. Ms. Smith commented to reporters from Channel 7 that under no
circumstances does the Chamber of Commerce want to suggest that they condone
drinking and driving, but at the same time the Chamber of Commerce does not have
enough statistics or information to make any public comment. The Chamber of
Commerce would like to encourage City Council Members to look into the matter.
Judy Van Komen said the City could take funding it gives to officers in wages, vehicle,
and equipment and put in a fund that would allow people that have been drinking to
have a ride home provided for them.
Dan Krahn, 906 Ann Street, said his concern is not with the bar owners, but with
Council Members speaking on these topics directly or attending meetings, and not
knowing what or if Council Members have the experience or a full understanding of
events that go on. He said that the McCall Police Department is doing a nice job of
decreasing crime.
Louie Howard, 781 Chad Loop, wanted to remind people that McCall is a tourist town,
which is a very good industry but a very fragile industry. Over the past two years, he
feels the Police have become the industry, when he thought they were here to serve
and protect.

BUSINESS
AB 04-47 Four Corners Project Recommendations from Holladay Engineering
Vern Brewer, City Engineer, said Holladay Engineering has completed a Concept
approval, Phases II, IV and V Materials Report approvals, and the Phase III Materials
Report waiver approval from ITD. Holladay Engineering has an environmental
document under review by ITD, along with property ownership map in its second
review. Mr. Brewer presented two diagrams of the Four Corners Project explaining the
irrigation system, landscaping, and contour map. The design recommendations were
presented to the McCall Improvement Committee (MIC) along with cost projections. Mr.
Brewer stated that the cost projections are over budget. The MIC agreed that if design
elements have to be eliminated to cut costs, the sidewalk on the west side of the
Highway, to the south airport entrance, should be eliminated. The second priority to
eliminate would be the concrete crosswalks in the intersection.
Council Member Robertson asked about the concrete section going across the
crosswalk. Mr. Brewer said if the concrete crosswalks are not installed, the crosswalks
will be striped. He explained that the detection loops for the signals may have to be
replaced if they are damaged by the installation of the concrete crosswalks. Council
Member Robertson asked about the wear and tear of the concrete when snow plowing.

Mr. Brewer answered that there will always be some damage to the street from the
effects of snow plowing. Concrete wears differently than asphalt, and as that takes
place over time there will be some damage to the crosswalks.
Council Member Robertson moved to approve Holladay Engineering's design
recommendations and cost projections for the Four Corners Project and allow
submission of the Plans, Specifications, and Estimate package to the Idaho
Transportation Department on April 9, 2004. Council Member Bertram seconded
the motion. In a roll call vote, Council Member Eimers, Council Member Muller,
Council Member Robertson, and Council Member Bertram voted aye. The motion
carried.
AB 04-51 Fish Pen Dock Agreement with Idaho Fish and Game
Lindley Kirkpatrick said this is the partnership agreement between the Idaho Fish and
Game and the City of McCall to provide the funding for the Fish Pen Docks. There was
a problem with the language in the contract which was presented to the City Council in
2003. This agreement reflects two changes: the language the Idaho Fish and Game
wants included, and an increase in the total cost of the project. This is an amendment
to the October, 2003 action.
Council Member Muller moved to approve the agreement between the City of
McCall and the Idaho Fish and Game for the replacement of the Fish Pen Docks
and authorize the mayor to sign all necessary documents. Council Member
Eimers seconded the motion. In a roll call vote, Council Member Bertram,
Council Member Robertson, Council Member Muller, and Council Member Eimers

AB 04-56 Contribution of additional funds to the East/West Loop Project
Lindley Kirkpatrick said that District Three has requested that the ITD Board transfer
funds within the District Three budget to add approximately $2.4 million into the East-
West Loop project. The City of McCall will need to contribute more local match, in
addition to the additional grant funds the City of McCall has received specifically for
local match. The recommendation is for the City of McCall commit to $25,000 in the
fiscal year 2005 as local match for the East—West Loop Project.
Lindley Kirkpatrick and Council Members discussed their plan of action when meeting
the ITD Board in Lewiston, Idaho on April 16, 2004.
