ROS-15-21
1129 West Valley Road
Ramon and Karen Alford: a Record of Survey application to split one (1) parcel into two (2) parcels.
The property is zoned R8 - Medium Density Residential, and is more particularly described as:
A portion of the NE Yo NE Y. of Section 18, T. 18 N., R. 3 E., B.M., City of McCall, Valley County,
Idaho.
Raymond Alford, resident of 1129 W. Valley Rd, spoke on behalf of ROS-15-21. Mr. Alford stated
that when building the garage on their property they had intentionally placed the garage 15 feet
from their proposed parcel split to conform to city code. However, the Record of Survey
determined that the proposed parcel boundary must be shifted North 1-2 feet in order to prevent
the creation of a non-conforming structure due to the fact that the setback must be measured
from the eaves of the building rather than the walls. Although Mr. Alford disagreed with the
measurement, his main concern was with the required 12 foot public utility easement listed as a
condition of approval.
Mr. Alford stated that several years ago a previous developer had installed water and sewer hook­
ups up Verita Rd. running along the eastern side of his property. Due to the present infrastructure,
he disagreed with the requirement that if he subdivide his parcel he provide 12 foot easements
along both frontage roads for the purpose of additional city infrastructure . Mr. Alford stated that
he had spoken with the road department from Valley County that also did not understand the
purpose of the City requiring these easements.
Ms. James presented the Staff Report and referenced the McCall City Code which states that all
parcel splits be subject to city subdivision requirements: all new subdivisions require 12 foot
easements be placed along all frontage streets in order to protect for future growth and increased
demand on city infrastructure and utilities. The parcel in question is currently zoned R8, which
suggests that the density of dwelling units could continue to increase from the present state and
require an expansion of infrastructure into the easement in the future. Ms. James also referenced
an email from City Engineer confirming the city's requirements and the need for providing utility
easements along the Verita and W. Valley Rd . frontages. The City Engineer did not find any
compelling reasons to veer from the code requirements.
Commissioner Tunnell moved to approve the ROS with the conditions of approval as listed by the
City Planner. Commissioner Williamson seconded the motion. All commissioners voted aye and the
motion passed.

River's Crossing Subdivision, Lot 21, Block 2, situate in S ~ of Section 17, T. 18 N., R. 3 E., B.M.,
City of McCall, Valley County, Id~ho.
PUBLIC HEARING
Steve Williams, of Pinetop Custom Homes, and resident of 186 Morgan Dr., presented the project.
Williams stated that the plan did not include the caretaker garage and apartment at this time . The
proposal is for a new construction home of 3690 sq. ft., with a 1319 sq. ft. attached garage, and a
1300 sq. ft . deck situated approximately 70 feet back from the river with large swaths of lawn
surrounding the home, particularly to the southeast. The landscaping plan also included several
Aspen trees to help shield the home from the river and the site plan had situated the home 20 feet
further from the river than city code required . Williams also allowed that the design had already
been approved by the Rivers Crossing Subdivision Design Review Process.
Ms. James presented the Staff Report and reminded the commission that the current design review
guidelines encourage landowners to keep lawn area to a minimum and substitute native vegetation
for sod and nonnative plants where possible. The two current Conditions of Approval are to provide
specific lighting fixtures that comply with the Outdoor Lighting Ordinance and that the design review
approval shall lapse after one year.
Discussion among the commissioners about the amount of sod proposed surrounding the house and
the benefit of maintaining natural landscaping along the heavily used river corridor followed.
The public hearing was opened. No one had any comment. The public hearing was closed.
Williamson motioned to approve the application and conditions stated with the additional condition
that the sodded area to the southeast be minimized to conform with the landscaping on the west
side of the home and that a new landscaping plan be submitted to the City Planner before the
issuance of a building permit. Tunnel seconded the motion. All commissioners voted aye. The motion
passed.

PUBLIC HEARING
Chuck Seubert, 206 Mission St., spoke on behalf of the project. Mr. Seubert stated the addition
would primarily be used as storage and would help clean up the area by keeping some of the larger
RVs they are working on indoors off the street. Tan and brown siding will be used to maintain a
cohesive look.
Ms. James presented the staff report. The storage addition provides the minimum number of
parking spaces required by City Code. The applicants must make sure that the parking lot is ADA
compliant and that storm-water drainage and erosion controls measures are utilized. There are
utility and drainage easements on Archer st. and utility easements on Scott St., the project is located
in an industrial area. No landscaping plan is associated with the project. One condition of approval is
