Commissioner Robertson stated that he would like to see Section 3 state that the commission would have 5 members with staggering terms. Introductory year 2 members will have 4 year terms and 3 members will be 6 year terms. Thereafter the term is 6 years.

Chairman Bertling closed the public hearing.

Commissioner Robertson moved to proceed with the Agriculture Protection Ordinance with the proposed changes to section 3. Commissioner Cossairt second. Motion passed unanimously.

At 2:30 p.m. Commissioners held a public hearing to gather public comment for FILE #24-0119, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MAP AMENDMENT & ZONE CHANGE, JOHN & PAMELA MARTLING. Those in attendance were Chairman Bertling, Commissioner Cossairt, Commissioner Robertson, Deputy Clerk Stephanie Sims, Planning & Zoning Administrator Ben Jones, Planning & Zoning Tess Vogel, Planning & Zoning Clare Marley, Bonners Ferry Herald Reporter Ned Newton, applicant John Martling and attorney for the applicant Tom Bushnell. The hearing was recorded.
Chairman Bertling briefly reviewed the public hearing procedures. Commissioners cited no conflict of interest. Tess Vogel gave the staff report. Ms. Vogel stated that John & Pamela Martling are requesting a comprehensive plan map amendment and zone change from Agriculture/Forestry to Rural Community/Commercial on a 10-acre parcel and a 46.16-acre parcel, located off Living Stone Lane and Glory Road. Ms. Vogel stated that the P&Z Board recommended approving the application with a 6 to 1 vote. She presented the history and violations and stated that to correct the issue this is the first of two required steps.

Commissioner Robertson asked if the zone change is approved, would the next step be a Conditional Use Permit. Ms. Vogel stated that is correct.

Mr. Bushnell presented the applicant’s report.

Commissioners had no questions for the applicant. No one from the public spoke in favor, neutral or against the application. There were no clarifying questions. Chairman Bertling closed the public hearing and called for deliberation.

Commissioner Robertson stated that it doesn’t matter about the lines or that they are 100 feet apart, it is a fitting location to do something like this.

Commissioner Cossairt moved to approve the request to change the comprehensive plan map and zone change for File #24-0119. Commissioner Robertson clarified that they cannot put the 5th trailer into use without a CUP. Ms. Vogel replied that is correct. Commissioner Robertson second. Motion passed unanimously.

There being no further business, the meeting ended at 3:00 p.m.

Wednesday, December 11, 2024 Commissioners held a special meeting for the purpose of the continuation of Planning and Zoning appeal hearing regarding P&Z File #24-0076, Maverick LLC.

Present Were: Chairman Bertling, Commissioner Cossairt, Commissioner Robertson, Deputy Clerk Stephanie Sims, Planning and Zoning Administrator Ben Jones, Civil Attorney Bill Wilson, Clare Marley and Tess Vogel with Planning, Kelli Martin applicant, Oksana Steinborn, Tim Love, Darius Ruen, Ron Self, David Dewberry applicant, Tatiana Dewberry, Gerald Higgs, Nelson Mast owner of Panhandle Door, Walter Rogers, Nicholas Dominguez, Jean Helmuth, Brian Fife, Leslie Fife, Lisa Aguilera, Rob Tompkins, Jess Hampton, Ken Byler, Caleb Davis, Michelle Brinley, Brian Brinley, Jen Krezman, Sheleah Bushnell, Dennis Weed, Niel Potts, Carly Haworth, Jacob Hampton, Thaddeus Powers, Andrew O’Neel, Ned Newton reporter for Bonners Ferry Herald, Terry Johnson, Jay Miller, Isaac G., L.

Chairman Bertling reopened the public hearing at 6:30 p.m. to consider the response to their request for additional information on the filing. The items to be discussed are 1. Clarification on ventilation hazards; 2. Tests for air quality; 3. Clarifications from ITD on access.

Chairman Bertling called for disclosures and conflicts. Chairman Bertling disclosed that the board had a brief interaction with David Dewberry at a KVRI meeting. Mr. Dewberry was on zoom and tried to discuss the situation. Chairman Bertling told him it was not the correct platform. Commissioner Cossairt disclosed that he was also at that same KVRI meeting, he also saw Mr. Jordan at ProX where they discussed length of boards. Commissioner Cossairt also stated that a community member approached him when he saw another backhoe at the Panhandle Door’s property with concerns about them building another building. Commissioner Cossairt told them they were working on the septic. Commissioner Robertson disclosed that he was also at the same KVRI meeting and he also stated that after the last meeting, he stepped off the stage to ask DEQ if they could administer the tests and they did not reply.

Clare Marley covered the procedures for the hearing. She explained that the focus of the proceedings would be only on the three items that the Commissioners requested more information on.

Tess Vogel briefly reviewed the CUP application and gave the staff’s report regarding the three items. Ms. Vogel stated that in regards to ventilation hazards we did receive a response from the applicant, but DEQ did not provide a response specifically on ventilation.

Ms. Marley then further explained in the staff’s report that they learned that DEQ does not do testing themselves and that the county would need to seek a third party to provide the testing. There are also no specific standard for this size of operation. DEQ could not fund this type of testing, it would be the County or applicant’s responsibility. The County would consider the testing, but the applicant wanted standards first to be set so he knew what was required of him. Therefore, the testing could not be completed because no standard exists. Ms. Marley then contacted DEQ to see if modeling could be provided and DEQ will be asked to comment during the neutral portion so the Commissioners can ask questions. State toxicologist added that they had no additional information to provide.

Ms. Vogel stated that the applicant has been working with ITD and hired an engineer. She stated that she confirmed an application has been submitted and they are now waiting for the engineering firm to submit their plan. Ms. Vogel also presented information from the applicant. She stated that written letters from the appellants were provided to the Commissioners. She also reviewed the presentation highlighting what had changed or updated since the previous hearing.

Ms. Vogel reviewed the Commissioners options to uphold, deny, modify, table or continue for more information and the worksheet that includes the standards for the CUP to assist them in their deliberation.

Commissioners had no questions. Chairman Bertling opened the hearing to appellant statements.

Don Jordan stated that he had sent an email earlier, but will address any questions that the Commissioners may have. Mr. Jordan stated that he recently walked the property and was shocked that there were no trees when it used to be a thick forest. He feels it looks suspicious because of the placement and believes the trees died in the last 5-10 years. Mr. Jordan also stated that he would like to see Boundary County collect data and be a part of the process. He feels the county is setting themselves up for future issues. Regulations are not the problem, lack of management is the problem. We need to do what we can to encourage small business, but we need to also be able to manage the CUP.

David Dewberry wanted it put on record that DEQ had conflicts within their report and that OSHA should be called. There is no evidence to show the air quality is safe. He presented exhibit A for the Commissioners. There was a brief pause for the Commissioners to review the exhibit.

Kelli Martin stated that DEQ is here to give PDI a clean bill of health. She states that the head of DEQ told her that you need a third test to get a permit and no test exists in PDI’s file.

Commissioner Robertson asked what she is referencing to with third. Ms. Martin stated that if someone gets a permit, you are to get third party testing. The head of DEQ stated that there is no third party testing in the file.

Nelson Mast stated he did not have much to add in regards to the clarification on ventilation standards. If DEQ and EPA doesn’t have precedents then he doesn’t know who does. He also wanted it on record that he did not decline testing, he first wanted to know what the standard was that they would be testing for. Mr. Mast stated that he has done similar air quality testing as Ms. Martin and their readings show good. Mr. Mast also stated that he is at 62% of what his permit allows. As for access, Mr. Mast stated that he has applied for a permit, engineers have been out and done a survey. They are now waiting on the design.

Commissioner Bertling asked if the air quality testing was done during operation. Mr. Mast responded yes. We were concerned and we want to be in compliance. So yes, we tested a dozen times during operation.

Commissioner Robertson asked why not allow a third party. Mr. Mast responded that he would allow a third party, but I want to know what are the standards before we do. I am not apposed to testing, I just want to know what we are testing for.

Chairman Bertling called for those who wish to testify in favor of the appeal.

Tim Love asked where have the last statements about code been for the last 5.5 years. DEQ is in the business to help PDI not the people who live around it. Where are the property rights in this matter. Mr. Love is happy to hear they are in compliance now. But that does not negate the damage they have done.

John Poland stated that they have raised a concern about issues which has caused him to be concerned. He stated that it doesn’t matter if DEQ doesn’t have a way to measure it, until you have information to show what is going on, you can’t approve.

Emma Dominguez stated the issues have not changed, we have had to make changes to our lives to minimize them. The stacks just went up, why were they not put up prior to this. Ms. Dominquez also stated that Maverick Lane is still in use and employees are not required to wear respirators.

Nicholas Dominguez stated that Mast could have been a good neighbor, but he hasn’t. You can deny and help us out, but we are okay if you approve it to.

Chairman Bertling called for those who wish to testify as neutral.

Shawn Sweetapple with DEQ stated that he recently submitted a report which included generic modeling and he went over the summary of the report. He pointed out that the modeling is above and beyond what is required for a facility of this size because of their low emission levels that are set by the EPA. He also wanted to address odor that has been mentioned several times. Odor is not representative of health impacts. You will notice odors far before there are health impacts. He also stated that the chemical that was used in the modeling is their cleaning solvent which is not sprayed. This chemical was used because it would provide the worst-case scenario. The conclusion was that the stacks reduced it by a third at Ms. Martin’s home and the concentrations at the residence are a fourth of the acceptable levels. Mr. Sweetapple also discussed a visit to the Panhandle Door property and a violation that has resulted in a fine and a requirement that PDI needs to get a new operating permit from DEQ. There was a misunderstanding and Mr. Mast did not include everything that was happening at the property. Mr. Sweetapple stated that he didn’t think the changes would amount to any significant change in the permit.

Commissioner Robertson asked how often does the model reflect the reality. Mr. Sweetapple answered that the model was based on a mathematical design that is used across the country. The weather data used is from Bonners Ferry. Mr. Sweetapple also stated that DEQ isn’t set up to do the testing, they use a third party.

Commissioner Cossairt asked if the wind would push anything coming out of the stacks back to the ground. Mr. Sweetapple answered that the modeling does account for that.

Jerry Higgs stated that he brought up the issue previously that they should be doing water quality and soil testing. Chairman Bertling stated that is not one of the three items that are part of the continuance.

Commissioner Robertson asked Mr. Sweetapple if a third party were to test, would it prove the modeling – does DEQ look at the numbers from the third party. Mr. Sweetapple answered that you have to have an idea of what you are looking for. Commissioner Robertson stated that I assume you have a standard. Mr. Sweetapple replied that a toxicologist could come in and look at what PDI uses to determine what they should be testing for.

Chairman Bertling called for those who wish to testify in opposition of the appeal.

Terry Swift stated he was a lifelong resident and third generation logger. He stated that in 2019 Ms. Martin’s parents hired him to clean up the down timber and remove hazard and dying trees. Mr. Swift stated that the hemlock was unhealthy at that time, but she didn’t want many trees removed to buffer the highway noise.

Vern Helmuth stated that he helped Ms. Martin’s mother cleanup trees that were down and diseased. He felt that Ms. Martin’s home is an older trailer and he has concerns about the readings she is getting and feels she should have her home checked. Mr. Helmuth asked who dictates the standard – state, federal or the county. Chairman Bertling responded that it was DEQ. Mr. Helmuth then stated that they were below the required amount even when the exhaust was going out the side of the building, prior to installing the stacks.

Leah Vanray stated that Pothole Rd is no worse than any other access on Hwy 95. She added that it is zoned as an ag-forestry zone not residential. Chairman Bertling asked if she had any comments on the three issues being address. Ms. Vanray stated that Ms. Martin should have her home tested for radon.

Chairman Bertling announced a 5 minute recess. Clare Marley stated that during the break the Commissioners are not allowed to speak to anyone.

Chairman Bertling reopened the hearing to those who wish to testify as neutral, so that Shawn Sweetapple could clarify some issues. Mr. Sweetapple stated that filters only deal with particulates in the air, they do not deal with air quality. He again stated that you can smell things before they are at hazardous levels and DEQ has no regulations for smell.

Chairman Bertling called for a rebuttal from the applicant.

Mr. Mast stated that we know exactly what products are used at Panhandle Door and they are far below the required level. He asked if the County is going to require air quality testing, are they going to require other businesses to do the same. Mr. Mast also commented on the violation they recently received stating that he felt it was a paper violation due to the product that they sell at their store, and not used in the manufacturing facility.

Chairman Bertling asked do you use Butilacitain to clean the equipment. Mr. Mast answered yes, we use it to clean the equipment.

Chairman Bertling called for the appellants to present their rebuttal.

Mr. Jordan stated that he used to own the Martin’s home and it is a nice stick home, not a trailer. He also noted that the trees removed were suspicious because they are in direct line of the exhaust. Mr. Jordan stated that DEQ has very few standards for this type of business. He also feels the County has the right to put a higher standard and compared the facility to autobody shops and what is required of them.

Ms. Martin stated that her home is not a trailer and that her mother would not have cut down trees. She can find no evidence of trees being cut down, there is no accounting for it. Ms. Martin stated that her father’s home health care workers would quit because of the smell and that her son worked for Panhandle Door so she knows what goes on inside the building. Ms. Martin stated that there has been a plan to turn the area in to an industrial zone since 2020. Ms. Martin stated that she doesn’t want the business shut down, she wants them to move.

Mr. Dewberry stated that the legacy properties have precedence. Nobody would like to have this in their backyard. The property is not zoned for commercial/industrial and they do not belong to be there. No testing has been done for air quality, nothing has been done for access and ventilations hazards have not been clarified.

Chairman Bertling closed hearing to public comment and called for deliberation.

Commissioner Robertson stated he did not get any of the answers he was looking for. He then asked Bill Wilson if the landowner will allow third party testing and DEQ will analyze the test, is that something we can ask for – specifically for VOC’s. Mr. Wilson responded that it is a question of cost and who pays for that test. What we have found is that the test is very expensive and it is his understanding that they cannot put that requirement on the property owner if they choose not to spend that money.

Mr. Wilson then advised the goal is to make their decision on objective criteria and based on standards within the County’s code. Mr. Wilson then went into detail on how to accomplish that.

Chairman Bertling stated that he had concerns about air quality and variables of the highway next to the location.

Commissioner Robertson stated that access seems likely and they have one year to accomplish that. Chairman Bertling added that they have a possible one year extension. Commissioner Robertson stated that filters are now being used for particulates and air quality we don’t know – we only know the model. Commission Robertson then asked are we comfortable with a business of that size being there with a conditional use permit.

Chairman Bertling stated he is comfortable with it as long as they have their own access. Commissioner Robertson asked if he was comfortable with them staying while they pursued access. Chairman Bertling stated yes. In addition using the model and the worst possible scenario with the chemical that they don’t spray, it was still under.

Chairman Bertling stated that he felt with both parties doing their own testing, I would suggest that we throw that out. Commissioner Robertson agreed that they are both biased tests.

Mr. Wilson advised them that the purpose of this process was to make a reason statement. He encouraged them to continue with their deliberation and vocalizing their thoughts using the guide to assist them.

Using the guide Commissioner’s stated the following:
• 7.7.1. there was a site plan in the original packet that is in evidence.
• 7.7.2 would also have to be a yes, upon approval by the Commission.
• 7.7.3 would also be a yes, there is sufficient land for setbacks for exhaust and sound
• 7.7.4 that zoning has multiple different uses across the County
• 7.7.5 Panhandle Health and ITD would adequately suffice to address issues
• 7.7.6 Yes, there is economic opportunity

Mr. Wilson stated that the next items are where issues seem to be and asked the Commissioners to site their reasoning for the record. Ms. Marley explained the conditions and the consequences if they were not followed. She also explained that if they wanted additional conditions added they could do so in their motion.

Chairman Bertling asked if the permit would be revoked if the conditions were not met. Ms. Marley answered that conditions could be added for that yes.

• 7.7.9 no cost to the county

Commissioner Robertson stated that they can either move forward with the modeling or we can explore third party testing and the cost. He also added that he would put the burden of cost on the appellant if the County were not willing to endure the cost.

Chairman Bertling expressed his concerns of putting the burden of cost on the County as well as concerns with other businesses in the future.

Commissioner Robertson asked that if it was for the purpose of satisfying 7.7.8 for the CUP would it be setting a precedent. Mr. Wilson responded that would be a matter of opinion. If you are going to consider having the County pay for the test, you would need to revisit 7.7.9.

Chairman Cossairt stated that obviously there is a reason DEQ uses these models, because they don’t want to pay for this kind of testing.

Commissioner Robertson stated that if we are comfortable with the location of the business and we are comfortable with the one year, possible two year on the approach and if we are satisfied with the best information presented to us, we can say yes to 7.7.8 due to the modeling and EPA /DEQ requirements on filtration based on the modeling.

Chairman Bertling called for a motion.

Commissioner Cossairt moved to modify the approval of the conditional use permit of application CUP#05-07 for a manufacturing business exceeding 8,000 square feet, File #24-0076, finding that the conditional use permit is in accord with the standards of Idaho Code and Section 7 of the Boundary County Zoning & Subdivision Ordinance, based upon the findings, conclusions, and conditions as amended to mitigate grievances. This action does not result in a taking of private property. Draft findings and conclusions 1-23, draft conditions of approval for adoption 1-13.

Mr. Wilson mentioned that Commissioner Bertling was earlier interested in amending #4 to add a revocation if it was not satisfied. If you are still interested in including that, you will need to amend.

Ms. Marley was asked for a suggested wording for the modification. Ms. Marley stated that adding to condition #4 would be failure to comply with conditions of approval shall result in a revocation of this CUP by it being returning to the board of Commissioners for consideration.

Commissioner Cossairt modified condition #4 as read. Commissioner Cossairt also amended the findings to 31. Commissioner Robertson second. Motion carried unanimously.

The hearing ended at 9:20 p.m.
