The City of Victor, in partnership with our Idaho Resort Cities Partner and the Idaho State Police Implement New Liquor License Legislation  

The Victor City Council adopted a Resort Cities Liquor Licenses ordinance on June 24, 2024. The license program was established by law during the last state legislative session to give Idaho’s resort cities the option to issue up to three additional liquor licenses to meet seasonal tourism demands. In the time since, Idaho’s resort cities have worked with the Idaho State Police Alcohol Beverage Control Division (ABC) to issue a new category of liquor license called the Resort Restaurant City Liquor License. The city council’s adoption of the ordinance last Thursday codified the City’s participation in the license program 

Idaho’s standard liquor license is based on permanent population of a city, but Idaho’s resort cities experience significant temporary population increases due to seasonal outdoor recreation. Local restaurants see high demand for liquor and cocktails as part of the local tourism, but they have not been able to meet that demand due to Idaho’s limitations on liquor licenses. Resort city proponents told legislators that the ability for a fine dining restaurant to serve a cocktail with dinner makes that restaurant fuller service in their community.   

A city must qualify as a resort city under the new law in order for the licenses to be available. Criteria include having a population of less than 10,000 and deriving the major portion of its economic well-being from businesses catering to recreational needs and meeting needs of people traveling to that destination city for an extended period of time. Additionally, the city must be further than 15 miles from a city with a population of 50,000 or more. The city must also certify that it experiences high-season sewage flows that exceed low-season flows by 20% or more. If a city meets all of the requirements, it will have three Resort City Restaurant Liquor Licenses available. There is no requirement that the City and ABC grant the licenses. It is a local decision by the mayor and city council whether to issue the licenses. 

The new licenses are exclusively for restaurants with full kitchens that comply with Idaho code.  To qualify for a license, the restaurant must show that the primary source of revenue is derived from food services and not from the sale of liquor.  Renewals will be conditioned upon showing that no less than 60% of the gross sales from the preceding 12 months were derived from food services.  Prospective license holders must also agree to dispense liquor and prepare drinks only in areas approved by the city.  Liquor sales must stop when food sales and service ends, and the city can impose additional date and time restrictions.   

The process for the awarding of the liquor licenses will be directed by ABC.  Staff at ABC have developed temporary rules for implementation. The rules will be before the legislature next January for final approval.  ABC staff has requested cities adopt a resolution indicating their interest in working with ABC to implement the legislation. The resolution should include the city’s acknowledgement that it complies with the statutory requirements to be a resort city. 

ABC will first contact individuals on the standard liquor license waiting list to see if they are interested in a Resort City Restaurant Liquor License and if they can meet the requirements. If Resort City Liquor Licenses remain after contacting the waiting list, the remaining licenses will be available on a first come, first serve basis. All applicants will still need to meet ABC’s criteria for a liquor license, plus the requirements for a Resort City Restaurant Liquor License. The final approval will come from the City, signed by the Mayor. 

Resort city members acknowledge that this is a special privilege that has been granted by the legislature and are aware that key legislators will be watching the implementation closely to make sure their concerns are met.   

For questions and inquiries, please contact the City Clerk at michelles@victoridaho.gov or Alcohol Beverage Control Bureau Idaho State Police, www.isp.idaho.gov/abc 

Idaho Resort Cities Partner with Idaho State Police to Implement New Liquor License Legislation

The City of Victor is hosting a town hall on August 7, from 6-8 pm, to discuss the future of the Old Town Irrigation System. Most city residents are not part of the Old Town Irrigation System and, therefore, are not affected by system changes, including fee increases. If your June utility bill included an irrigation fee charge (and you are not a resident of Golf Vista Estates), then your property is served by the Old Town Irrigation System and you are strongly encouraged to take part in the August 7th town hall.

Q1: What is the purpose of the upcoming town hall?

A1: The town hall aims to gather feedback from Old Town irrigation users on the current system operation and to discuss options for future years.

Q2: What changes were made to the irrigation system rates?

A2: On August 23, 2023, the City Council approved raising the annual rate from $129.58 to $534.32 per acre to cover basic operating expenses of the irrigation system.

A3: The system has been operating at a deficit for years. The new rate is necessary to cover basic operating costs and necessary repairs as they arise. Any revenue not spent in a given fiscal year will be transferred to the fund reserve. Likewise, expenditures above revenue will be accounted for as a fund debt to be paid by the users in future years.

Q4: What options were considered before the rate increase?

Raise rates to cover operating costs (chosen option)

Abandon the system and implement water conservation measures

Q5: Will this rate increase fix all the system's problems?

A5: No, the increase only covers basic operating expenses. It does not address the aging infrastructure or prevent potential future cost increases.

Q6: What will be discussed at the town hall?

A6: We will review the current system operation, gather feedback on the rate increase, and discuss potential future options for the irrigation system. Affected property owners in attendance will be asked to take an advisory vote reflecting their preferences for the future of the irrigation system (affected property owners do not need to be registered voters to participate in this advisory vote).

Q7: How does this affect properties not on the Old Town system?

A7: Most city residents do not receive water from the Old Town system, so they are not directly affected by these changes or costs.

A8: Wednesday, August 7, from 6:00 – 8:00 pm Victor City Hall. The meeting will be recorded and posted to www.victoridaho.gov for those who cannot attend the town hall.

Q9: How were decisions about the irrigation system made?

A9: The decision followed a series of city council work sessions and budget hearings. These meetings were properly noticed and open to the public, and information, including the rate proposed and actual rate increase, was published in the local paper.

Q10: What if I can’t afford to pay my irrigation bill this month?

A10: If you cannot afford to pay your irrigation bill this month, please visit City Hall and staff will help you set up an interest-free payment plan.

We encourage all Old Town irrigation users to attend this important discussion about the future of your irrigation system. Your input is crucial in determining the best path forward.

For any questions before the town hall, please contact the City Administrator by calling 208.274.7082 ext. 7, or emailing jeremyb@victoridaho.gov. If you cannot attend this meeting but would like to participate in an advisory vote, please email michelles@victoridaho.gov, and we will send you a link to an online poll.

Victor City Council approves design plan for 90-unit Sherman Park development

Read the original post from Buckrail.com. 

Victor, Idaho — A new affordable housing project, nearly two years in the making, is moving through government approvals in Victor. 

The Design Development Plan and Lease Option Agreement for the Sherman Park housing project were approved on March 13 by the Victor City Council. The development aims to create 90 units across four three-story buildings on more than three acres at the corner of Baseline Road and Agate Avenue. 

A similar lease option agreement was previously signed by both parties in April 2023 but has since expired. The new lease option agreement was signed on March 13 and expires March 31, 2025.  

According to the staff report, “the primary purpose of a lease option agreement is to allow the parties the opportunity to thoroughly assess the feasibility and viability of a potential project, in this case, the Sherman Park Workforce Housing Development, before either party commits to a long-term lease.” 

The property is located on about three acres, about five miles from the Wyoming/Idaho state line. Photo: City of Victor staff report 

Sherman Park is a three-acre property owned by the City of Victor and located off of Idaho Highway 33, about five miles from the Wyoming/Idaho state line. 

Last May, the City rezoned the property from Parks and Recreation zone to Commercial Mixed-Use to make way for the project. 

The project is a public-private partnership with the City of Victor providing the land for a proposed 99-year ground lease at no cost. Snavely Property Company LLC was awarded the developer bid in January 2023. 

Along with the zero-dollar 99-year lease, the City of Victor has also agreed to provide permit and fee waivers and reductions, valued at just over 10% of the estimated project cost. 

The Idaho Housing and Finance Association granted the project a $4 million financing award, as long as the project creates 23 units priced at 80% of the area median income (AMI). The loan expires Dec. 31, 2024. 

AMI is calculated annually by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and is the midpoint of an area’s income distribution. Below are the income levels governing the Sherman Park Project. 

According to the Design Development Plan, the 23 units at 80% AMI are 14 one-bedroom units, six two-bedroom units and three three-bedroom units. At 100% AMI and 120% AMI, there will be 10 one-bedrooms and six two-bedrooms each. 

Sixteen one-bedroom units and 19 two-bedroom units will be available at market rate, with no deed restrictions. 

See 80% AMI unit rates with price breakdown per square foot below:

(14) 1 bedroom$1,414670 sqft $2.11 per sqft

(6) 2 bedroom$1,698995 sqft 1.70 per sqft 

(3) 3 bedroom$1,9611,222 sqft$1.60 per sqft

100% AMI unit rates with price breakdown per square foot: 

(10) 1 bedroom$1,767690 sqft $2.56 per sqft

120% AMI unit rates with price breakdown per square foot: 

(10) 1 bedroom2,121700 sqft $3.03 per sqft 

(6) 2 bedroom2,547995 sqft $2.55 per sqft 

The developer initially proposed an additional $200/month parking and storage fee for all of the units, but the Council added a condition to its approval that requires, “validation for parking spaces for AMI restricted units” and another, “delineating all costs and fees beyond rent associated tenants fees.” 

Six other conditions were also added, including no short-term rentals and the requirement of an annual occupancy rate report. The Council also outlined that if a tenant does not meet workforce qualifications, but meets the other qualifications (ie. has lived in Teton County for over a year), that tenant will not have their lease renewed if a workforce-qualified applicant is on the waiting list. 

The two other conditions require more language about a daycare center/multi-use space and the free use of amenities for tenants, such as a spa or fitness center. 

Other conditions of approval for the developer include adding a second access driveway, realigning the crosswalk at the intersection of Agate Ave and Baseline Road and design elements such as awning heights, lighting and trash and recycling enclosures. 

Council Member Amy Ross cast the lone vote against the action items related to the Sherman Park project. 

According to the staff report, Snavely Property Company LLC and City staff will work to finalize the development agreement and ground lease. The items will again come before the City Council for approval. Following that approval, utility and building permits can be submitted for review and approval.

Join us on Tuesday, February 6th, from 4 PM to 6 PM at the Victor City Art Gallery, located on the 2nd floor above the US Bank at 138 N Main Street, Victor. 

The art show and sale continues through March 31 showcasing Claire's current series, titled "Anglers and Avatars," which explores the intricate world of fly fishing enthusiasts in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE), with a special focus on Teton Valley’s fly fishing culture, celebrating the profound connection between humans and the surrounding ecosystem.

The exhibit includes a selection of fly fishing enthusiasts, both professional and amateur, each intricately portrayed through an ink rendering of their favorite hand-tied fly and a charcoal portrait. Claire's eye for detailed craftsmanship and her commitment to storytelling through art result in a compelling homage to the intersection between humans and nature.

“The creators of fishing flies adhere to the functional requirements of beguiling fish. Yet the resulting fly is a beautiful, utterly human means of interacting with the natural landscape. The fly becomes a weaponized puppet, serving as the angler’s avatar in the water. By uniting worlds of sportsmanship and fine art, Anglers and Avatars highlights that both disciplines spring from the plight of our soulful selves engaging with the surrounding world.” explains Claire about her project.

Claire Peery's artistic exploration began in the North Georgia mountains, and her journey has taken her to various corners of the United States. Holding a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) from the University of Georgia, Claire has left her creative imprint in Georgia, Colorado, and now in the picturesque landscapes of Teton Valley.

This Reception is open to the public, and we encourage art enthusiasts, community members, and supporters of the arts to join us for an opportunity to meet the artist, and enjoy refreshments and light bites.

The Victor City Art Gallery, located in City Hall at 138 N Main Street, Unit 2, is dedicated to promoting and showcasing the diverse talents of local artists, with a commitment to fostering a love for the arts.

Due to hazardous blizzard conditions, the City of Victor suspended plow operations. Wind and blowing snow made plowing not only futile but dangerous. The County was also forced to delay or suspend its plowing.  

A blizzard warning is in effect until 5 pm today. Pending improved conditions, the City will plow at 2 AM Saturday morning. In the meantime, the National Weather Service advises the following:

Travel should be restricted to emergencies only. If you must travel, have a winter survival kit with you. If you get stranded, stay with your vehicle.

Avoid outside activities if possible. When outside, make sure you wear appropriate clothing, a hat, and gloves.

The latest road conditions can be obtained by calling 5 1 1 or by visiting 511.idaho.gov.

Remember that current conditions will make any emergency response very challenging. Please be safe and use good judgment.
