July 9th, 2012 City Council Meeting To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Bill Carberry, Airport Manager Request: Consideration of a request to award a bid for the construction of a BLM parking lot at Joslin Field. Time Estimate: The staff presentation will take approximately 5 minutes with some time for questions and answers following. Background: In May of 2012, the City of Twin Falls and the BLM signed an agreement wherein the City of Twin Falls would contract for the bidding and construction of a new parking lot with BLM providing reimbursement funding to the City. The parking lot design was performed by Riedesel Engineering in 2010 as part of a prior agreement between the City and the BLM which also included the design for a future bldg expansion and aircraft ramp. This past May, in conjunction with the BLM parking lot construction agreement, the City Council approved an agreement with Riedesel Engineering in the amount of $17,000 to perform the bidding administration and construction engineering services related to the parking lot construction project. On June 28, 2012 the City and Riedesel held a bid opening for the project; four bids were received (see attached) with bids ranging from $121,660.60 on the high end to a low bid of $99,214.50 submitted by Robert Durham Excavation Inc. of Twin Falls, ID. Budget Impact: The BLM has committed $121,500 to the City for the project. Total cost for bidding/engineering ($17,000) and construction ($99,214.50) would be $116,214.50, leaving the BLM a contingency balance of $5,285.50 from the $121,500.00 they budgeted for the project. Regulatory Impact: None anticipated. Conclusion: After reviewing the bids submitted with BLM officials, staff concurs with Riedesel Engineering s recommendation that the City Council award the parking lot construction bid to Robert Durham Excavation for the amount of $99,214.50.

Date, July 09, 2012 To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Mitch Humble, Community Development Department Request: Consideration of a waiver of the paving & landscaping site improvements as required by city code 10-4-6.3(G) and 10-11-4(b) on property located at 141 Rose Street. Time Estimate: The applicant s presentation may take up to fifteen (15) minutes. Staff presentation will be approximately five (5) minutes. Background: The County is requesting approval of a waiver of the paving & landscaping site improvements as they are limited on funding and they feel there is little to no impact to the surrounding neighborhood. This property is zoned R-6 PRO, a residential multi-household zoning district with a professional office overlay. The property is owned by Twin Falls County and was utilized as a legal non-conforming storage and maintenance site for Magic Valley Regional Medical Center for many years. The property is now being used for storage of marine search & rescue equipment & boats. The applicant was granted a special use permit on June 29, 2012 for the expansion / construction of a new 2400 sf 3-bay metal building for marine storage subject to the following conditions: 1. Site plan amendments as required by Building, Fire, Engineering, and Zoning Officials to ensure compliance with all applicable City Code Requirements and Standards. 2. If the secondary access is used it shall be brought up to minimum city standards. 3. Any lighting to be down facing to least impact the surrounding neighbors City Code 10-11-4(b) states that all parking and maneuvering areas shall be hard surfaced. The storage facility site is currently a dirt and gravel surface. City Code 10-11-4(b) states that all parking and maneuvering areas shall be hard surfaced. The storage facility site is not hard surfaced. As part of this request the applicant is also asking for the city council to consider a hardship to allow the facility to be graveled instead of hard surfaced. The storage yard is fully fenced and not visible to public view from any direction. The property is currently accessed off Martin Street by a 30 wide paved easement. The site plan also shows a secondary access located along the southern boundary of the southern boundary of the now vacant property fronting Rose St. The county does own these lots. The secondary access is currently not developed. If this access is to be used it shall be hard surfaced to meet minimum city standards. The R-6 zone requires 10% of site to be landscaped for any use other than a single family or duplex dwelling. City code 10-11-2 states landscaping shall be installed at a ratio of 1 tree per 500 sq ft and 1 bush per 100 sq ft of required landscaping. The storage facility site currently has no landscaping. Approval Process: City Code 10-11-1 states all required improvements shall be a condition of any building permit and those required improvements shall be completed prior to final inspection. If the cost of the improvements exceed 25% of the cost of the project there may be considered a 3-year staged deferral of those improvements. G:\workarea\MEETINGS\2012\07-09-2012\+TFCnty - Request for Waiver of paving & landscaping.doc
This allows for the site improvements to be staged over a 3 year period of time but still requires them to be completed by the 3rd year. There is also, if determined by the City Council to be a case of exceptional hardship, an opportunity for the property owner to request for those improvements to be deferred over an indefinite period of time but only where a 3-year staged deferral is not available. The Council is being asked to consider such a waiver. The City Council decision shall be by simple majority vote. Budget Impact: None at this time. Regulatory Impact: The site will be in violation of minimum code requirements. Conclusion: Staff does not support the request as it is a minimum site development requirement and feels the applicant should bring the property up to minimum standards. Attachments: 1.
