The development subcommittee presented several recommendations intended to shape future staff reports when the applicant resumes active review.

Committee members said the project has had intermittent activity for more than a year, with applicants submitting plans and then putting them on hold. A development subcommittee representative requested staff maintain the committee's comments in the project file so they are available for future staff reports and council materials. A staff member agreed to include the subcommittee's documentation in the staff file.

No formal vote was recorded on a recommendation to forward the subcommittee's notes to staff; the action recorded was a staff assignment to keep the committee's notes in the project file pending future development activity.

In the committee roundtable at the end of the meeting, a member raised pedestrian-safety concerns about the 35 mph speed limit on Highway 200 from Division to Portland and noted numerous driveways and crossings in that corridor. That concern was recorded as a member comment for future discussion; no staff action or formal referral was recorded in the transcript.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Sandpoint | Pedestrian and Bicycle Advisory Committee Meeting | 07/10/2025","oneSentenceSummary","Committee members reviewed development-subcommittee recommendations for a stalled multifamily project (referred to in meeting materials as 'No Bluff'), and asked staff to include the committee's recommendations in the project file for future staff reports.","taxTitle","Sandpoint, Bonner County, Idaho","taxId",52019,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6551124,"Sandpoint advisory committee reviews sidewalk in-lieu funds, urges prioritized project list",387,3513000,3900000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5356084-ec7f6fbca764607c7aad5d04039f29f7&start=3513&end=3900","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5356084-ec7f6fbca764607c7aad5d04039f29f7/thumbnail_3513000.jpg","/articles/6551124/Sandpoint/Bonner-County/Idaho/Sandpoint-advisory-committee-reviews-sidewalk-in-lieu-funds-urges-prioritized-project-list","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6551124-1050b30ace6f150d16d1f170f57f9c2f/orig.mp4?Expires=1777100709&Signature=Dy7OD8yIHX2K6LFhAUQdqgiJ~c4qtITewltgb7oDS2xVs-8Ff7xPzV9m64rPHYpIxPRfNlZ9r7r1USsS0zF0bEm00cVhmqyNRlE4JkKOgl4dRyy~8zorQbSMi7Fbl1ExLD6i3V61A68di3nX1yPbtRlxIomnQwd2cztCNg3JzE0QUkj4X0bTnsaOxWnMTAam7Z~UlXawyp8fBwpLHGqRCYA8mNNraOBaalqDwWBIYuejUuhNohiFE-AI1a~KapdqMrJaTTaaTTAg2NkRqHgRfgXxds5qIHaPDjRVvfpfAY~QS0mBWZMyl01TKm9wCtNDxK2GbLV3HiIPAIgS7nwjmg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At its July 10, 2025 meeting the Sandpoint Pedestrian Advisory Committee reviewed the city's sidewalk in-lieu fee program and a staff-supplied map of in-lieu balances by quarter section, and the intersections subcommittee asked the full committee to adopt a prioritized list of sidewalk projects for staff to use when spending those funds.

Public Works Director (unnamed) explained the in-lieu program and how funds are tracked by quarter sections, saying the fee money \"goes into a pot of money that's specific for that quarter section.\" The director said some quarter-section accounts contain only a few thousand dollars while others contain larger sums; as examples cited in the meeting included roughly $8,640, $5,000 and one section shown with about $56,000. The director said the funds are restricted to sidewalk work and ramps.

Committee members discussed two approaches: (1) rank every candidate project in order, or (2) adopt the subcommittee's recommended list of items and flag two or three as special priorities to simplify staff use. Committee member Brianna suggested adopting the packet items at once with special emphasis on two top priorities; a subcommittee representative said the intersections subcommittee had marked specific segments (for example, the north end of South Florida Avenue) as urgent.

A motion form discussed at the meeting would read broadly as \"adopt all recommended items with special priority on [specified items].\" The transcript does not record a formal roll-call vote on that motion before the meeting ended; the subcommittee chair asked members to gather additional location information and prepare example sheets for the next meeting.

Staff outlined practical guidance for choosing projects: focus on neighborhoods without sidewalks rather than replacing disconnected or lightly used segments, be specific about locations to help staff navigate property-line and fence conflicts, and coordinate with property owners because some sidewalk installations can prompt fence or landscaping relocations. The director also said finance tracks individual quarter-section accounts so staff will use the committee's prioritized list to pull funds from appropriate accounts.

The committee also reviewed the city's sidewalk-trigger rules under the building-permit code (listed in the meeting materials as \"7 3 10 h\"). Staff said the building permit typically triggers the sidewalk requirement and that some code provisions allow applicants to pay an in-lieu fee rather than construct sidewalks at the time of permit issuance.

No final ordinance change was adopted; staff asked the committee to return with a citywide prioritized list (the director suggested a top-10 or top-20) and to provide specific map locations to guide staff spending decisions.","The committee reviewed the city's sidewalk in-lieu fee accounts organized by quarter section, discussed account balances and spending constraints, and the intersections subcommittee moved to adopt a list of recommended sidewalk items with special priorities for staff use.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6551128,"Sandpoint committee considers stronger reference to Complete Streets policy in multimodal plan",1034,296000,1330000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5356084-ec7f6fbca764607c7aad5d04039f29f7&start=296&end=1330","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5356084-ec7f6fbca764607c7aad5d04039f29f7/thumbnail_296000.jpg","/articles/6551128/Sandpoint/Bonner-County/Idaho/Sandpoint-committee-considers-stronger-reference-to-Complete-Streets-policy-in-multimodal-plan","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6551128-73bde02128221936ef5a5c8fc65fa23d/orig.mp4?Expires=1777100709&Signature=ShEyua65d-yE5nHGKCHJGwjg3UDf0RJh5I2IJBmXocsoyLOSwbD0KUFrz8Xm717OcFIr1hkQVLLNOoXAG9iqDfsm3rQPO6wY7pFSn-gjaMWOyG3~GIkO6tom8llgAhV9VsM1W1L2u6id~Wrz4jyBlOCPqc7wXSB2-5uhTTo9SfoxiXoygVfc12YH47GpvIZMRzaAiO8RQNmDvcJv59h6MTBqjk89xd9Idv1sVc99gsk-0uOXZP8LOpfITjtz4YymUwSUnm6wMObW2VLEpYLkcJCy-Hw41-QNS0y80a7flDBrNrJSVHTe82H6ikK~vQUJACJnZrpzWj3pGfDuZi-kQw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Sandpoint Pedestrian Advisory Committee on July 10, 2025 discussed recommending that the city's Complete Streets policy be more explicitly referenced or incorporated into the 2021 Multimodal Transportation Master Plan (MTMP).

Committee Chair Kaye Hughesman led the discussion, and a staff presenter said the Complete Streets policy is already included in the MTMP as an appendix and is referenced multiple times in the plan. The staff presenter said, \"it's a 115-page document\" and noted he had identified roughly eight references to the policy in the current MTMP.

The committee pushed staff for clarity about what a recommendation from the committee should accomplish. Members asked whether the committee should recommend copying Complete Streets language directly into specific sections of the MTMP, inserting it as an appendix, or identifying concrete wording and projects for the next formal update of the plan. A staff member said the council adopted the Complete Streets policy more than 10 years ago and that the policy \"remains valid today,\" but that concrete value to the committee would be to specify what text or project lists the committee wants changed or added when the plan is next updated.

No formal committee vote or binding direction to city council was recorded at the July 10 meeting. Staff advised the committee that its most useful contribution would be a prioritized list of specific changes or projects to present during the MTMP update process, which typically happens on a multi-year cycle.

Members noted that many capital projects and funding requests follow the MTMP's maps and appendices, and said adding specific project concepts to the plan is one way to increase the chances a project receives funding. The committee did not adopt specific language at the meeting; staff flagged that if the committee later passes a recommendation that simply asks the city to \"add Complete Streets by reference,\" little would change because the policy is already referenced in the MTMP.

The discussion closed with staff urging the committee to identify specific text changes or project concepts the committee endorses for the next plan update so staff and council can act on those recommendations during the formal update process.
