AB 10-115 Warren Wagon Road Boundary Adjustment— 1207 and 1209 Warren Wagon
Road
Brad Kraushaar, Presented right-of-way boundary adjustment on Warren Wagon Road. The
majority of the Warren Wagon Road Right -of -Way (ROW) was undefined. The issue has led to
legal uncertainty regarding the exact location of the City's ROW.
Rod Skiftun of Skiftun Land Surveying appeared before the City Council on January 28, 2010
for a work session on the issue. At that time the Council indicated that the proposed resolution,
of exchanging quitclaim deeds, should be pursued and that Mr. Skiftun, in combination with the
City should work to prepare the necessary legal documents to resolve the issue for the Priddy
and Bryant parcels. The City has worked with Mr. Priddy in the preparation of the ROW
documents and is in agreement with the process. Mr. Bryant is aware of the process; however
Mr. Bryant has not committed to ROW proposal to date.
Council Member Kulesza expressed concern with approving an agreement for Mr. Bryant
without first having Mr. Bryant's approval. Council Member Witte also had a concern with the
City approving a document that the property owner has yet to approve and could be considered
that the City is forcing the property owner to sign the ROW agreement.
After a brief discussion, Bill Nichols, City Attorney, suggested that the Council make two
motions, one for the Priddy parcel and one for the Bryant parcel.
Council Member Kulesza Witte moved to approve the Right -of Way Boundary Permit
between the City of McCall and Edward Priddy, and authorize Mayor to sign all necessary
documents. Council Member Kulesza seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council
Member Witte, Council Member Kulesza, Mayor Bailey, and Council Member Delaney all
vote aye and the motion passed.
Council Member Witte moved to approve the Right -of Way Boundary Permit between the
City of McCall and William and Maxine Bryant, contingent upon acceptance by William
and Maxine Bryant and authorize Mayor to sign all necessary documents. Council Member

Mr. Kraushaar stated that there was a unique situation with this application stating that the
applicant was the lessee of the property and not the owner. He also stated that the property owner
would not allow the property to be encumbered in any way making the development agreement
difficult.
The Council discussed the matter looking for ways to accommodate the proposed development
within the requirements of the Zoning Code. There was concern expressed with the need for
consistency in their decision making. Council also discussed the comprehensive Plan and how
this portion of development fits into that plan. The discussion also looked at the project as a
project that would benefit the residential neighborhood.
Council came to a consensus and directed staff to develop a revised approval document, allowing
the tenant to install a pedestrian path, instead of curb/gutter/sidewalk and eliminating the need
for a "development agreement". The item will be scheduled for Council action on May 27, 2010.
Mayor Bailey moved to table the approval of CUP-10-02 until May 27, 2010. Council
Member Delaney seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Mayor Bailey, Council Member
