7. PUBLIC HEARINGS with ACTION ITEMS:
A. PUBLIC HERAING: Star River Meadows (Previously Tabled 1/11/2022): The applicant is seeking
approval of an Annexation and Zoning (R-3) for the annexation of the existing Star River Meadows
Subdivision into the City of Star. The Annexation of the subdivision includes a total of 13 existing
residential lots and associated common lots. The properties included in this annex are located on River
Ranch Lane in Star, Canyon County, Idaho, and consists of approximately 4.8 acres. Oral testimony may
be offered at the hearing. Written testimony may be submitted up to the time or at the hearing.
Mayor Chadwick read the rules and processes of the hearing and encouraged everyone to sign up if they wish
to speak. The Mayor opened the public hearing and asked the Council Members if they had any ex parte contact.
All members confirmed they had none.
Applicant Presentation
Nicolette Womack, 950 W Bannock St, Boise ID
Applicant Ms. Womack gave a brief overview of the Star River Meadows project, mentioning the subdivision
was recently approved in the county and they are proposing an R3 zoning to match what was previously
approved. A neighborhood meeting held on October 12, 2021 and the goal is to bring it into the Star River Ranch
subdivision HOA for consistency between the two developments.
Mayor Chadwick stated this was unique as there are already 7 homes built on the property. Council Member
Nielsen asked about the utilities, public land and irrigation facilities that are shared with the Star River Ranch
HOA and Womack replied that they are separate but will have similar CC&Rs and have consistency with the
current development.

Public Testimony
There was no public input.
Council Member Nielsen asked to confirm the roads meet ACHD and CHD4 requirements. Mayor Chadwick said
that they would have to do it through CHD4 and there was a discussion that it would have to be built to ACHD
standards at a minimum and the width of the roads and right of ways. City Planning Administrator Shawn Nickel
added that the development was already built with curbs, sidewalks and streetlights, with sewer and water
already in place. He said that as the applicant stated, this should have been developed in the City of Star but it
was the last one before the city initiated the agreement with Star Sewer and Water that they had to annex into
the Star Sewer and Water when annexing into the City of Star. Nielsen asked if the streetlights were in
compliance with the dark sky ordinance and Nickel replied yes.
Council Member Salmonsen asked about an inconsistency in the staff report about the subdivision not including
fire hydrants or streetlights. Planning Administrator Assistant Ryan Field explained that the report was written
prior to doing an inspection and verified the fire hydrants, streetlights are all properly located and meet the
requirements. Salmonsen also asked about a sidewalk along Bent Lane and Womack said that it is a public road
built to public road standards.
Mayor Chadwick closed the public hearing at 7:20 pm and moved to Council deliberations.
Council President Hershey moved to approve. Salmonsen seconded the motion. There was a
discussion about including a sidewalk at Bent Lane to be a condition of approval, but it was
determined that the sidewalk was already in and did not need to be included in the motion to
approve. ROLL CALL VOTE: Hershey – aye; Salmonsen – aye; Nielsen – aye. Motion carried.
B. PUBLIC HEARING: Josh Kinney Annexation / Zoning / Planned Unit Development (AZ-21-19; DA21-27
& PUD-21-002): The applicant is seeking approval of an Annexation and Zoning (R-3 / Mixed Use) with
a Development Agreement to include future residential and non-residential uses including retail, office
and event center, farmers market, restaurant, winery, bed & breakfast and garden center. The
property is located near the southwest corner side of West Floating Feather Road (Old) and State
Highway 16 and extends west to the southeast corner of North Pollard Road and West Floating Feather
Road in Star, Ada County, Idaho and consists of a total of 25.15 acres. Oral testimony may be offered
at the hearing. Written testimony may be submitted up to the time of or at the hearing.
Mayor Chadwick opened the public hearing and asked the Council Members if they had any ex parte contact.
All members confirmed they had none.
Applicant Presentation
Josh Kinney, 8675 W Floating Feather Road, Star ID.
Mr. Kinney stated that he owns a little over 25 acres that are just south of Floating Feather Road and spans from
Pollard Lane to Highway 16. He is requesting to annex three parcels into the City of Star. Kinney explained in
detail the history since 2017 of his and his wife’s dreams of buying some property for her retail store and then
adding a coffee shop, café, bakery, space for nonprofit and community space. They came across a piece of

property on the southwest corner of Highway 16 and Floating Feather but it was zoned residential. Kinney went
to the neighbors individually, shared their vision and asked if they would be willing to release it to use for
commercial. They eventually got signatures from the lot owners in the development to release it and it allowed
them to make modifications to the CC&Rs so that particular parcel could be used for commercial. Later they
decided to annex all three parcels and worked with staff at the city to come up with a plan that matched up
with the comprehensive plan, that met with their dreams and fit in the the HOA and CC&R guidelines. Kinney
talked at length regarding residential, commercial, mixed-use, zoning, their plans and layouts.
Council Member Nielsen asked if they had discussions with ITD about the portion they own and the plans for
improving the access. Kinney explained his plan for maintaining the access, further purchases, paving,
resurfacing, drainage and cleaning up the area, as well as working with an architect to add to the buildings.
Mayor Chadwick pointed out the high probability that Kinney would lose the connection on Highway 16 due to
ITD making that an entire expressway with access points only every two miles. He mentioned the Rosti Farms
mixed use to the south of his property and encouraged Kinney to create access down to the south. There was a
discussion about Kinney’s plans for access points and timeline for his project. The Mayor mentioned a modified
interchange from ITD and suggested that if Kinney was going to go with one acre lots, that lot 8 should be lost
and split to become part of lot 9 and lot 7 so there was no worry with the fire department regarding a
turnaround. Kinney agreed that he may have to lose a lot to keep it at full acre parcels and reminded that it was
all conceptual at this point.
Council Member Salmonsen asked about Lot 1 Block 1 and the neighbors releasing it from the CC&Rs. Kinney
confirmed the CC&R’s stated it was residential, but they released it to commercial residential and listed
specifically which commercial uses were permitted and not permitted.
Council President Hershey confirmed that Kinney was willing to accept an R1 zoning for all parcels.
Council Member Nielsen expressed that his concern that the CC&Rs don’t allow for anything but residential and
zoning it mixed use could create a scenario where legally you have a right to mixed use that is in conflict with
CC&Rs and contract. Nielsen would prefer to honor what is in the contract and in the future being able to adjust
that contract and come back and request a different zoning. Kinney was agreeable to that. He then outlined his
ideas for the open space to become a farmer’s market and creating community spaces so if it was not zoned
mixed use, he would have to come back to request it when he was ready to go forward with those things.
City Planning Administrator Shawn Nickel said to keep in mind that through the Development Agreement and
PUD, any conditions could be established which would address any scenario. Having a mixed-use zoning would
allow both commercial and residential so flexibility could be built in based on what Kinney gets back from
conversations with the neighbors and HOA.
Council Member Nielsen referred to the R1 designation and the contract saying it needed to be residential and
mentioned that it would be great as long as the Kinneys lived there but if it sold, it would be a lot for someone
to take on and with the R1 designation, there would be no room for additional lots for that contractual

residential to take place. Nielsen would like to see at least a potential plan to address that. Nielsen asked what
actual density was and Nickel answered that it was less than one unit per acre. There was discussion regarding
density and additional lots, re-zoning and codes regarding storage within commercial area. Kinney outlined
plans for additional structures, accesses, landscaping, aesthetics and doing what they can to protect existing
landowners.
City Planning Administrator Shawn Nickel added a few things he had talked with the applicant about. One being
the potential of having a pathway from Pollard eventually down toward Rosti Farms and providing a cross-access
easement to line up with the commercial to the south, and also maintaining our sidewalk system by establishing
a sidewalk along the south side of Floating Feather and eventually around the corner down Pollard.
Mayor Chadwick clarified that the intent to put the pathway on the south side of the berm to keep privacy going
toward the north. He added that having the pathway provides pedestrian access to the commercial component
and adds another amenity for walking. Mr. Kinney asked about the accessing the ditch banks and having gravel
as opposed to having a pathway for the ditch rider and large equipment. Council Member Nielsen mentioned
the issue of cleaning the ditch with a pathway there, and Kinney said they would need to have an understanding
or agreement with the ditch company.
Council Member Salmonsen asked if they would be the main developer of the homes for that area and Kinney
replied that he probably would be but said they had no plans to move forward on development right away.
Salmonsen asked if he was willing to pay for a sidewalk along Floating Feather and on Pollard. Kinney explained
the timelines and plans for the sidewalks and making sure they were in compliance when the property was
plated. There was further discussion explaining the plating process and potential development. It was noted
that Mr. Kinney was given a 3-year time frame to build the sidewalk.
PUBLIC TESTIMONY
Kelly Kinney – 8675 W Floating Feather Road, Star ID
Mrs. Kinney is in favor of annexation of their property and expressed excitement to see their dream come to life
in this capacity. She is a native of Idaho and Grew up in rural Nampa. She is a small business owner and loves
the concept of bring jobs to Star through moving her business as well as creating a coffee shop café and farmer’s
market and the concept of community and being in harmony with their neighbors. They are open to what the
city and their neighbors want and are very excited about the future and potential of the property will offer.
Jeff Robbins – 8866 West Floating Feather Road, Star ID
Mr. Robbins lives directly cross the street from the development. He’s been in his home for over 6 years and
has seen a lot of development proposed and approved. He likes the thought that has gone into this and it’s
refreshing for him to see one acre lots with a nice home and a lake and feels it will improve the value of his
property. He welcomes and looks forward to it.
Michel Prenn – 1875 N Mountain Vista Lane, Star ID
Mr. Prenn lives on the southwest corner on lot 6. He wanted to address the expansions and lot splits and was

affect zoning requirements and the amendment. He mentioned coming to an agreement between the four
neighbors and the Kinneys and revisiting the zoning.
Mayor Chadwick confirmed that they were talking about keeping the mixed use where lot 1 currently resides
and making sure the R1 went right up to it. Council Member Nielsen also confirmed it would not be creating a
conflict if they went with the mixed-use as it’s part of the planned unit development and development
agreement.
Council Member Nielsen also inquired about the first plan with the vineyards and orchards around the
properties and why that was not acceptable. Mr. Prenn replied that it seemed like a deviation from other plans
that they had been shown. He likes the one acre lots and feels they keep with the spirit and aesthetic.
Council Member Salmonsen asked about the partial annexation of the subdivision and Mr. Prenn explained that
not everyone is sure they want to be annexed in and Mr. Haws would address that further.
Mo Haws, with Morris Bower and Haws PLLC, 1305 12th Ave Road, Nampa, ID
Mr. Haws represented four of the residents and expressed appreciation for the thoughtfulness of the application
but asked that the application be tabled indefinitely due to the strict language of the CC&Rs and a condition
precedent established in the re-subdivision section R of the CC&Rs. Mr. Haws read several passages of the
CC&Rs and there was a discussion regarding sub-dividing and amending the CC&Rs.
Council Member Nielsen mentioned that aside from CC&R requirements, neighborhood consensus or
conditions, the contract is the biggest hurdle, and he does not believe that giving approval would be assisting in
a breach of that contract.
Mr. Haws was concerned that if they got approval for this project or a different zoning than is approved by or
allowed under the CC&Rs or if they're allowed to subdivide their lots by virtue of this body giving them that
permission it is assisting them in a breach of the contract. He asked that this be tabled because he thinks the
Kinney’s should come back to the City Council having come to an agreement with the neighbors, requiring 75%
consensus, within the terms of the CC&Rs before the City Council makes any preliminary approval of this plan.
There was further discussion between the Council, Mayor and Mr. Haws regarding this concern with the Council
giving assurance that nothing would be done without approval and adhering to guidelines.
Tony O’Neil 1910 N Mountain Vista Lane, Star ID
Mr. O’Neil lives on Lot 4 and mentioned that he and the four homeowners bought those lots with the
understanding that they would be acre lots forever and they want to protect that. He pointed out that from
February 2020 through August 2021, there were three different proposals for Mr. Kinney’s vision. Mr. O’Neil
briefly described some of the proposals, particularly the one that had in writing that there would be no houses
built. He understands that there is a lot of land and opportunities, but his concern is having the homeowners
sign off on something that is not clear and doesn’t have their support and does not have the CC&Rs in place.

Council Member Nielsen asked Mr. O’Neil what he thought his role was in the development, what he thinks
should happen with the property and what should go there. Mr. O’Neil reiterated that he wanted to see a well
thought out plan with one acre lots that follow the CC&Rs. There was a discussion to clarify Mr. O’Neil’s thoughts
and input from the Council and Mayor regarding processes including annexations, CC&Rs, development
agreements, lot sizes, approvals, etc., and Mr. O’Neil was assured that there would need to be a more defined
plan that met all the requirements before it could be submitted for approval.
Mayor Chadwick asked if anyone else had anything else to add that hadn’t already been discussed.
Randy Haverfield 1015 Heartland Dr, Nampa ID
Randy and Lori Haverfield are the parents of Kelly Kinney, Randy is the architect that was mentioned and serves
on the Nampa City Council as president. He is familiar with growth and development and has helped the Kinney’s
with their plans, making sure they are cognizant of the neighborhood and consistent with the comp plan.
Haverfield praised and supported the quality of work and their vision of creating a rural urban transitional zone
and live work opportunities.
Teresa Prenn 1875 N Mountain Vista Lane, Star ID
Her main concern is the entrance where Floating Feather will be turned into a cul-de-sac. It is already dangerous
going in and out and she is concerned that it will get worse with the increase in traffic and it may be used as a
short cut. Ms Prenn also expressed that she wished the Kinney’s would have had a conversation with the four
neighbors.
Council Member Salmonsen asked about the cul-de-sac and Mayor Chadwick and Shawn Nickel explained the
process and requirements with ITD.
Michelle Standford – 1876 N Mountain Vista Lane, Star ID
Ms. Standford is the owner of lot 5 and has lived there about 19 years. She mentioned that her property backs
up to the property and would be the most affected by building homes on the property. She mentioned a few
areas of concern – not having a solid plan on what the development will be, and the cars that are being stored
on the property. She respectfully asked that the application be tabled until the application and CC&Rs could be
addressed between the homeowners and subdivision and making the development agreeable to everyone
concerned.
Applicant Rebuttal
Josh Kinney clarified that he was keeping the commercial lot within the two and a half acres, he was told by the
HOA that the having the vineyards was not in accordance with the HOA because it would be considered
commercial use. He cited several examples where he feels the communication with the neighbors has been
miscommunicated and mentioned that the CC&Rs have been confusing and seem to contradict themselves,
particularly when it comes to subdividing the land. Mr. Kinney stated that he has tried to create a plan that fits
with the city’s requirements, follows the CC&Rs and is fair to the neighbors, while trying to create their own
dream as well.

There was discussion regarding zoning, commercial vs agricultural use and whether Mr. Kinney would like to go
ahead with the annexation or keep it in the county for now. Mr. Kinney wanted to annex while there were still
only a few neighbors to work with and reiterated that he was fine keeping the commercial for the time being
and if they have a plan to do something more, they can come back to the HOA to talk about it.
Mayor Chadwick asked for questions from staff and council members.
Council Member Salmonsen asked what Mr. Kinney was asking for in the way of uses and there was a discussion
on specific uses and conditions of approval. They discussed a multi-use pathway.
Mayor Chadwick closed the public hearing at 9:41 pm and moved to Council deliberations.
Council Member Nielsen expressed support for the annexation and zoning, that it exceeds our comprehensive
plan and encouraged Mr. Kinney to start fresh with the neighbors and design something acceptable for all. He
also urged Mr. Kinney to extend the mixed-use zone to build a significant buffer away from the highway.
Council Member Hershey was also supportive of the application, that it does not violate any established CC&Rs
and reiterated that it could not go beyond an R1 designation even if the property was sold in the future.
Council Member Salmonsen appreciated both sides of the testimony and is also in support of the application,
as it meets all the requirements. She also mentioned limiting to one acre lots.
Mayor asked to clarify the R1 designation in the motion due to come inconsistencies in the packet. Council
President Hershey confirmed that it was a voluntary annexation, and any existing neighbor will not be involved
in the annexation.

Applicant Presentation
Applicant Jeff Likes – 1119 E State Street, Eagle, ID
Mr. Likes stated he was there for a rezone and a design review for the northwest corner of State St and Union,
rezoning to the Central Business District which is consistent with the surrounding zone and comprehensive plan.
He presented an overview of the site plan, including elevation, access and entrances, parking, noting that these
were approved by ACHD. He also mentioned the design and other residents.
Mayor Chadwick asked if there were any questions of the applicant and then asked if this plan followed the new
architectural overlay guidelines. It was submitted prior, but Mr. Likes has seen the guidelines and believes that
it fits within them.
Council Member Salmonsen asked about the parking lot, fire access, streetlights, and sidewalks. Mr. Likes
replied that they meet the requirement for the Fire Department and the parking lot is still being worked out.
They will put in a sidewalk, curb and gutter and make sure they follow whatever is required from ITD and ACHD.
Salmonsen asked if the parking space met the codes of square footage in the building, whether they would have
adequate parking and expressed concerns with overflow parking and having pedestrians cross over State St. The
parking does meet the requirements and there will be flags for crossing the street on designated crosswalks.
Mr. Likes would like to create more walkability as well, as sidewalks and connections are made.
Council Member Nielsen asked if there were any items that did not meet our architectural overlay guidelines
since the development came in prior to having the requirements in place. Assistant City Planner Ryan Field said
that he would do a thorough search, but he is comfortable that they meet the guidelines.
City Planning Director Shawn Nickel added that staff is recommending in the development agreement that in
addition to the future cross access to the west, that the applicant coordinates with ITD and our City Engineer on
the placement and timing of the sidewalk.
Mayor Chadwick asked the anticipated timeframe for completion, and it was agreed that Mr. Likes would work
with City Engineer Ryan Morgan and get it started as soon as they can. Nickel mentioned that they are short
four parking spaces for insurances purposes and Mr. Likes formally requested a reduction in parking for 4 spots
since they are in the CBD zone. Nickel said they could build that into the development agreement.
