AB 11-66 CUP-11-01 Solace Natural Medicine
Michelle Groenevelt, Community Development Director, presented the Solace Natural Medicine
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) Application to Council. Ms. Groenevelt stated that there had been
two public comments submitted by neighbors which inquired as to the possibility of access off of
Wooley Way. Peter Borner, Public Works Director, stated that it was not feasible to have access
off of Wooley Way due to the classification of the street and the configuration of the applicant's
lot. There was no attendance from the community at the public hearing held by the Planning and
Zoning Commission for this application.
There was a brief discussion on the signage that the applicant would be requesting and the
process.
Council Member Aymon asked how the Planning and Zoning Commission addressed the
concerns of the neighbors. Ms. Groenevelt stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission
considered the concerns and concluded that the applicant met the criteria for a CUP therefore
granted the application.

Brandi Solace, 301 Colorado Street, applicant stated that a neighbor had requested that some
shrubbery be planted to create a boundary. Ms Solace stated that she was working with the
neighbors to come to amenable solutions.
Council Member Witte stated that she was sensitive to the neighbors' concerns because when
someone buys a house in a neighborhood, there is some expectation that the zoning code would
protect the area from commercial activities to maintain the character of the neighborhood.
Ms. Groenevelt clarified that the business is three days a week by appointment only during the
times of 9:30 am and 5:00 pm. Ms. Solace clarified further by stating that her operating hours
would be 9:30 am to 5:00 pm on Tuesdays and then 9:30 am to 1:00 pm on Thursdays. Ms.
Solace stated that she has experienced very little to no drive by interest.
In the conditions of approval Mayor Bailey suggested that condition #8 under the decision part
of the findings and conclusions, requiring the applicant to place a "slow" sign in the
neighborhood, should be the City's responsibility and therefore be eliminated. Mayor Bailey also
suggested that the applicant should be required to add house numbers to the exterior of the
building.
Mayor Bailey also inquired as to condition #6 which references an email, stating that the email
should be attached to the conditions. Ms. Solace stated that the City Engineer suggested that a
culvert be placed under the drive way to address some drainage issues; however since the snow
had melted it had been confirmed that a culvert was already in place.
Council Member Scott thought that the neighbors' concerns were valid; however the proposal
shows minimal traffic.
Council Member Swanson moved to approve CUP-11-01 subject to the presented Findings
and Conclusions and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents. Council
Member Aymon seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council Member Swanson,
Council Member Aymon, Mayor Bailey, Council Member Scott, and Council Member
Witte all voted aye and the motion passed.
Council Member Scott was recused for the next item.
AB 11-67 SUB-06-07 and PUD-06-03: Alpine Village Fifth Amendment to the Development

AB 11-68 SUB-08-05 Spring Mountain Ranch #5 - Plat Recordation Deadline Extension
Request
Michelle Groenevelt, Community Development Director, introduced the Spring Mountain Ranch
#5 - Plat Recordation Deadline Extension Request. Mayor Bailey stated that once the final plat is
recorded then the applicant will be able to sell the lots. The applicant will also be required to pay
taxes on each lot and pay the Home Owners Association $400 a year. Mayor Bailey indicated
that due to the current economy it was in the best interest of the applicant to wait a year prior to
recording the final plat.
Council Member Witte moved to approve the plat recordation extension request. Council
Member Scott seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council Member Witte, Council
Member Scott, Council Member Aymon, Mayor Bailey, and Council Member Swanson all
voted aye and the motion passed.
AB 11-73 Water System Policy - Resolution 11-07
Peter Borner, Public Works Director, introduced the annual Water System Policy and resolution
to Council.
Mayor Bailey inquired as to the plan for the Westside storage location. Mr. Borner stated that
there was not a specific location determined at that time.
Council Member Witte questioned the validity of the tables as they relate to one another and to
the resolution. Mr. Borner stated that he would get clarification and a correction to section 3 of
the resolution and bring this item back to Council.
No Council Action
AB 11-72 Wastewater Policy and Resolution 11-06
Peter Borner, Public Works Director, introduced the annual Wastewater Policy and resolution to
Council.
Council Member Witte questioned Section 9 of the resolution as to whether the Council was
actually directing staff to continue to direct its energy at finding additional sources of land for
land application and to evaluate those pieces of land in accordance with Consent Order
requirements once they are identified. Mayor Bailey stated that as part of the Technical Advisory
Group (TAG) plan there should be one possible alternative to request additional land.
Council Member Witte requested a report from the TAG Committee periodically.
Council Member Scott suggested adding "as needed" or "as appropriate" to section 9 after
"Council directs staff."
Council Member Scott moved to adopt Resolution 11-06 as amended and authorize the
Mayor to sign all necessary documents. Council Member Aymon seconded the motion. In a

Member Swanson, and Council Member Witte all voted aye and the motion passed.
AB 11-78 FY10 Fund Balance
Linda Stokes, City Treasurer, presented the FY10 Fund Balance to the Council.
Mayor Bailey asked if it made sense to have a required minimum balance in the Golf Fund since
they would never be able to obtain it. Lindley Kirkpatrick, City Manager, stated that it was not
the staffs position that the Golf Fund would never have the required minimum balance.
Mayor Bailey asked staff to find out when and why the sewer loan of $150,000 from the general
fund was made and what the plan was to repay it.
Council Member Witte asked if the City of McCall minimum fund balances were standard for
cities. Bill Nichols, City Attorney, clarified that there is no standard and that it is dependent on
the community. The idea behind having a fund balance policy was to make it so that smaller
cities or counties would not need to borrow money to account for the time when the cash flow
was less prior to receiving revenue.
Council Member Scott moved to forgive the short-term internal balance owed by Golf
Fund to the General Fund. Council Member Swanson seconded the motion. In a roll call
vote Council Member Scott, Council Member Swanson, Council Member Aymon, Mayor
Bailey, and Council Member Witte all voted aye and the motion passed.
AB 11-74 Re -assignment of Council Liaison Duties
Mayor Bailey suggested that Council Member Swanson be designated Council Liaison to the

Member Delaney. There was no objection from the Council.
