RECEIVED October 02, 2025 T. Hethe Clark, ISB No. 7265 IDAHO PUBLIC Clark Wardle LLP UTILITIES COMMISSION 251 E. Front Street, Suite 310 Boise, ID 83702 P.O. Box 639 Boise, ID 83701 Telephone: 208/3 88-1000 Facsimile: 208/388-1001 hclark@clarkwardle.com #23917.3 BEFORE THE IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION IN THE MATTER OF THE REQUEST OF Case No. GNR-E-25-03 INTERMOUNTAIN PACIFIC, LLC AN IDAHO LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY APPLICANT'S REPLY TO COMMENTS FOR AN EXEMPTION FROM RULE 102 OF OF THE COMMISSION STAFF THE COMMISSION'S MASTER METERING RULES FOR ELECTRIC UTILITIES. INTERMOUNTAIN PACIFIC, LLC, an Idaho limited liability company (the "Applicant") hereby replies to the Comments of the Commission Staff(the "Staff Comments") filed in this matter in accordance with the timeline required in the Idaho Public Utilities Commission(the "Commission")Notice of Modified Procedure. BACKGROUND As noted in the original Request for Exemption or Waiver from Master-Metering and Individual Metering in Multi-Occupant Residential Buildings (the "Exemption Request"), the Applicant is developing a senior living project(the"Project")on property located on Linder Road, just north of US 20/26 (the"Property"). The Project is to provide independent living and assisted living services with a goal of making living arrangements as simple as possible by providing a single bill for all of the residents' needs—including food, rent, activities, and utilities. APPLICANT'S REPLY TO COMMENTS OF THE COMMISSION STAFF—PAGE 1 4902-1905-4189,v.2 Rule 101 of the Master-Metering Rules for Electric Utilities(Idaho Rule of Administrative Procedure 31.26.01.101) ("Rule 101")presents a challenge for this model as it would require 100 meters and 100 power bills, when all such bills would be paid by the owner of the Project. The residents' electrical consumption will be largely consistent and there is no reason to differentiate among those residents. In addition, as further detailed in the Exemption Request (and as emphasized in prior decisions of the Commission granting very similar exemptions from Rule 101), energy-saving elements have been incorporated into the Project. In addition, the Applicant is willing to adhere to conditions of approval that are consistent with those imposed by the Commission in connection with previously granted exemptions to Rule 101, including, without limitation, Order No. 23936 (Case No. IPC-E-91-21), Order No. 26451 (Case No. IPC-E-96-7), and Order No. 26512 (Case No. WWP-E-96-5). Each of these decisions are discussed below in greater detail. REPLY TO STAFF COMMENTS To the Applicant's knowledge, the Staff Comments are the only written comments submitted to the Commission in response to the Exemption Request. The Staff Comments recommend denial because "Rule 101 prohibits master-metering when these systems are not centrally controlled." In other words, it would seem that the Staff Comments recommend denial simply because the request would be contrary to Rule 101. Of course, that is the purpose of the Exemption Request — the Applicant would not have submitted the Exemption Request if the proposal were consistent with Rule 101. We believe the Staff Comments omit the correct analysis. Instead of focusing on whether the proposal is consistent with Rule 101, the Staff Comments should have considered whether a waiver from Rule 101 is appropriate and whether the Commission has granted such exemptions in the past. APPLICANT'S REPLY TO COMMENTS OF THE COMMISSION STAFF-PAGE 2 4902-1905-4189,v.2 Review of prior Commission action shows that a waiver in this case is not only appropriate but is also consistent with prior Commission treatment of Rule 101. In fact, the Applicant's research revealed three prior orders of the Commission under very similar circumstances that should have been considered in the Staff Comments. In October 1991, the Commission issued Order No. 23936, which considered what was then referred to as Rule 9.21: 9.2 Master-Metering and Individual Metering in Multi- Occupant Residential Buildings. No multi-occupant residential buildings shall be master-metered after July 1, 1980, if the dwelling units for non-transient tenants contain an electric space heating, water heating or air- conditioning unit that is not centrally controlled and for which the dwelling unit's tenants individually control electric usage. The request was an application by RiverPlace Senior Living Community, located in Boise, which was "designed for people who require some level of assistance for day-to-day living, but do not require institutional medical care like that found in nursing homes." Order 23936, at 1. In that case, Staff noted that "utility costs will be covered in the fees paid by residents," and that the "facility is energy-efficient"; accordingly, Staff recommended that the waiver be granted with conditions. Id. at 2. These included a limit on the exemption to apply only so long as the facility was used for assisted-living, and that the facility met energy-efficient design specifications. The Commission agreed and so ordered. 'Rule 9.2 is substantially similar to the present Rule 101,which(for convenience)is included below: 101.MASTER METERING AND INDIVIDUAL METERING IN MULTIOCCUPANT RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS(Rule 101). Non-transient tenants living in multi-occupant residential buildings connected for electric service after July 1, 1980, containing an electric space heating,water heating,or air-conditioning(space cooling)unit that is not centrally controlled and for which the dwelling unit's tenants individually control electric usage will be individually metered and billed by the electric utility. APPLICANT'S REPLY TO COMMENTS OF THE COMMISSION STAFF—PAGE 3 4902-1905-4189,v.2 Five years later, in October 1996, the Commission considered what was essentially a continuation of Order No. 23936. In this case (Order No. 26451), the Commission considered what was then referred to as Rule 102,which contains substantially the same language as Rule 9.2 and now-Rule 101. In this follow-up case,the applicant proposed a two-story facility that allowed the residents to live in a"simple,worry-free environment. Included in the standard rental package are meals, housekeeper, maintenance and all utilities (except telephone)." Order 26451, at 1. Because "energy conservation measures" were incorporated in the design and because "both design and operation does not lend itself well to providing the conservation signals that would otherwise be provided through individual metering and billing" (id. at 2), the Commission found it reasonable to issue the waiver with the same conditions to which Order No. 26451 was subject. That same year, the Commission granted another waiver of what was then referred to as Rule 102. In that case, "an institutional and assisted-living facility" in Orofino, Idaho requested the same waiver because the occupants,who were retired seniors, "will have made the choice that they no longer want the responsibilities for maintaining a home or apartment...." Order 26512, at 1. As a result, "[i]ncluded in [the company's] standard rental package are meals, housekeeping, maintenance and all utilities (except telephone)."Id.2 In summary, the applicant argued, "... that master-metering should not be required in a project of this nature, where utility costs will be covered in the fees paid by residents, and where the facility is designed to be energy efficient."Id. Noting these factors and its prior decisions, the Commission granted the waiver. While we appreciate Staff, its role, and the public service it provides, we believe the Staff Comments are problematic in that they do not acknowledge prior waivers of this rule provided by the Commission in nearly identical circumstances. This Exemption Request is substantially the 2 Note that this language is identical to Order 23936. APPLICANT'S REPLY TO COMMENTS OF THE COMMISSION STAFF—PAGE 4 4902-1905-4189,v.2 same as the three cited orders that were approved by the Commission. Each reviewed an identical master-metering rule. The level of assistance provided to the Project's residents is the same. The billing structure is the same. The effort to provide energy efficient construction is the same. There is no apparent reason for this request to be treated differently than three prior applications that went before the Commission. The Staff Comments should have considered these prior orders,rather than concluding that the request should be denied simply because Rule 101 provides otherwise. The Commission has authority to grant a waiver and has done so multiple times in the pas. This is an appropriate opportunity to do so once again. CONCLUSION For the reasons set forth above, the Applicant respectfully requests that the Exemption Request be granted consistent with the Commission's prior actions in Order Nos. 23 93 6, 26451, and 26512. The Applicant is more than willing to impose conditions consistent with these prior orders and decisions of the Commission. DATED this 2nd day of October 2025. CLARK WARDLE LLP T.

IPC-E-91-21 EXEMPTION FOR THE RIVERPLACE ) SENIOR LIVING COMMUNITY FROM ) ORDER NO. 23936 GAS, ELECTRIC AND WATER CUSTOMER ) RELATIONS RULE 9.2, IDAPA 31.C.9.2. ) On September 23, 1991, Mr. Dennis L. Rattie, Director of Development for Crossings Corporation, directed a letter to this Commission requesting an exemption from Rule 9.2 of this Commission's Rules and Regulations Governing Customer Relations of Gas, Electric and Water Public Utilities Under the Jurisdiction of the Idaho Public Utilities Commission, IDAPA 31.C.9.2. Rule 9.2 provides: 9.2 Master-Metering and Individual Metering in Multi- Occupant Residential Buildings. No multi-occupant residential buildings shall be master-metered after July 1, 1980, if the dwelling units for non-transient tenants contain an electric space heating, water heating or air- conditioning unit that is not centrally controlled and for which the dwelling unit's tenants individually control electric usage. The information that Mr. Rattie submitted to the Commission Staff explained that Crossings Corporation is developing RiverPlace Senior Living Community, an assisted-living facility near Park Center in Boise. RiverPlace is designed for people who require some level of assistance for day-to-day living, but do not require institutional medical care like that found in nursing homes. Residents will have private living quarters, but will eat meals in a communal dining facility. Water heating is centrally-controlled. Individual living units will feature electric space heating and space cooling under control of the residents. Mr. Rattie has requested an exemption from Customer Relations Rule 9.2. Beverly Barker, Director of the Commission's Consumer Assistance Staff, reviewed the materials that Mr. Rattie submitted and recommended that his request for an exemption be granted. Her decision memorandum stated: In my opinion, the two most persuasive arguments in favor of granting an exemption that were presented by Mr. Rattie are: ORDER NO. 23936 -1- (1) utility costs will be covered in the fees paid by residents, and (2) the facility is energy-efficient. The primary reason that master-metering was prohibited was to encourage conservation by providing direct signals (through individual metering and billing) to consumers regarding their use. Mr. Rattie has indicated that even if the individual units are individually- metered, RiverPlace will pay the bills, which will prevent the consumers/occupants from receiving feedback on their energy consumption. Since RiverPlace itself will be paying the bills, it has the incentive to construct the buildings so as to minimize energy use. I have asked [Staff Economist] Bill Eastlake to review the material submitted with respect to design features. Bruce Pyeatt of Idaho Power indicated that the Company has no objections to the Commission granting a request for an exemption. Staff Recommendation: I recommend that this exemption be granted with two condi- tions. The Commission should make it clear that the exemp- tions apply to this facility only so long as it is used for assisted living or similar institutional-type caregiving, and that conversion to other uses may require individual metering. The other condition we should impose is that the facility must meet the energy-efficient design specifications mentioned in the request for exemption or some other criteria specified by the Commission Staff. We reviewed this decision memorandum at our decision meeting of September 30, 1991. At that meeting we accepted the Staffs recommendation and elaborated on the Staffs second condition by requiring the building to meet the energy-efficient design specifications contained in Idaho Power Company's Design Excellence Award Program (DEAF). We have since been notified by Idaho Power Company that the plans for RiverPlace Senior Living Community meet the design specifications of the DEAP program. Accordingly, we grant the exemption. O R D E R IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Crossings Corporation's request for an exemption for the RiverPlace Senior Living Community, located near Park Center, Boise, from Gas, Electric and Water Customer Relations Rule 9.2's prohibition against master-metering be granted subject to the following conditions: (a) The exemption from the prohibition from master-metering applies only so long as the facility initially known as the RiverPlace Senior ORDER NO. 23936 -2- Living Community is used for assisted-living or similar institutional-type caregiving; (b) The facility is constructed to meet the energy-efficient design specifications of Idaho Power Company's Design Excellence Award Program (DEAP); and (c) The terms of this exemption are recorded at the Ada County Recorders office in a manner that would put any prospective purchaser of the facility on notice of the terms of this exemption. THIS IS A FINAL ORDER. Any person interested in this Order (or in issues finally decided by this Order) in Case No. IPC-E-91-21 may petition for reconsideration within twenty-one (21) days of the service date of this Order with regard to any matter decided in this Order. Within seven (7) days after any person has petitioned for reconsideration, any other person may cross-petition for reconsideration. See Idaho Code § 61-626.

IN THE MATTER OF THE REQUEST OF CROSSINGS CORPORATION FOR AN EXEMPTION FROM RULE 102 OF THE COMMISSION'S MASTER-METERING RULES FOR ELECTRIC UTILITIES. Case No.IPC-E-96-7 Order No.26451 Idaho Public Utilities Commission May 1996 RALPH NELSON,PRESIDENTMARSHA H. SMITH,COMMISSIONERDENNIS S.HANSEN,COMMISSIONER *1 On April 17, 1996, Mr. Dennis L. Rattie, Director of Development for Crossings Corporation (Crossings; Company), directed a letter to the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (Commission) requesting an exemption from Rule 102 of this Commission's Master-Metering Rules for Electric Utilities.Reference IDAPA 31.26.01.102.Rule 102 provides: 102.MASTER-METERING AND INDIVIDUAL METERING IN MULTI-OCCUPANT RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS (Rule 102). No multi-occupant residential buildings shall be master-metered after July 1,1990,if the dwelling units for non-transient tenants contain an electric space heating,water heating,or air conditioning(space cooling)unit that is not centrally controlled and for which the dwelling unit's tenants individually control electric usage. Crossings has plans to initiate a second phase in its senior resident retirement center(River Place Senior Living Community) along Park Center Boulevard in Boise. It will feature a 58-unit congregate living building as well as 20 cottage units along Logger's Creek. Crossings requests an exemption from the individual metering standards which would otherwise be applied to the congregate living building. A similar exemption was granted in 1991 for the first phase of the project. Reference Commission Order No. 23936, Case No. IPC-E-91-21. Crossings agrees that the proposed cottages maintain the relevant residential characteristics that would require independent metering. Crossings maintains that the congregate structure should not be viewed as a residential project, only an institutional structure that presents residential characteristics. The congregate structure will be a two-story facility featuring extensive life safety measures to allow its residents to live an independent lifestyle in a controlled environment. The general operating philosophy of Crossings is to provide as many amenities and services that will allow its residents to live in a more simple, worry-free environment.Included in the standard rental package are meals,housekeeper,maintenance and all utilities(except telephone). Crossings contends that master metering should not be required in a project of this nature,where utility costs will be covered in the fees paid by residents,and where the facility is designed to be energy efficient. As reflected in Order No. 23936"the primary reason that master-metering was prohibited was to encourage conservation by providing direct signals(through individual metering and billing)to consumers regarding their use."Crossings contends that because of facility design and operation,no economic or energy advantages would be realized through individual metering. Crossings reports that the following energy conservation measures will be provided in construction: *2 -2"x 6"exterior walls with R-19 batt insulation. •Roof structures comprised of wood trusses with R-38 insulation. •High efficiency vinyl framed windows with 1"insulated glass units. •High efficiency composite doors with insulated cores. WESTLAW ©2024 Thomson Reuters. No claim to original U.S. Government Works. 1 IN THE MATTER OF THE REQUEST OF CROSSINGS..., 1996 WL 34719906... •General use of florescent rather than incandescent bulbs. Also, described by Crossings is the facility layout and energy using equipment. Full architectural renderings accompany the filing. On May 2, 1996,Idaho Power filed a letter with the Commission indicating its recommendation that the request of Crossings for exemption be granted consistent and on the same terms as those established in Order No.23936.In its Order,the Commission granted an exemption subject to the following three conditions: a.The exemption from the prohibition of master-metering applies only so long as the facility initially known as the RiverPlace Senior Living Community is used for assisted living or similar institutional type care-giving; b. The facility is constructed to meet the energy efficient design specifications of Idaho Power Company's Design Excellence Award Program(DEAP);and c. The terms of this exemption are recorded at the Ada County Recorder's office in a manner that would put any prospective purchaser of the facility on notice of the terms of the exemption. COMMISSION FINDINGS The Commission has reviewed the filings of record in Case No. IPC-E-96-7 and its prior Order No. 23936 in Case No. IPC- E-91-21.We find that Crossings proposes to incorporate significant energy conservation measures in its Phase II construction plans.We find that the nature of the proposed congregate living structure described above in both design and operation does not lend itself well to providing the conservation signals that would otherwise be provided through individual metering and billing. We therefore find it reasonable to authorize the requested exemption from Rule 102 of the Commission's Master-Metering Rules for Electric Utilities,subject to the same three conditions approved in prior Order No.23936 and set forth above. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW The Commission has jurisdiction in Case No.IPC-E-96-7 and the issues presented pursuant to the authority and power granted it under Title 61 of the Idaho Code;the Commission's Rules of Procedure,IDAPA 31.01.01.000, and the Commission's Master Metering Rules for Electric Utilities,IDAPA 31.26.01.000 et. seq. ORDER *3 In consideration of the foregoing and as more particularly described above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Crossings Corporation's request for an exemption from Rule 102 of the Commission's Master-Metering Rules for Electric Utilities (Reference IDAPA 31.26.01.102)is granted for the congregate living structure portion of its second phase River Place Senior Living Community development project along Park Center Boulevard in Boise,subject to the three conditions set forth above. THIS IS A FINAL ORDER.Any person interested in this Order may petition for reconsideration within twenty-one(21)days of the service date of this Order.

(the Company) directed a letter to the Idaho Public Utilities Commission(Commission)requesting an exemption from Rule 102 of this Commission's Master-Metering Rules for Electric Utilities.Reference IDAPA 31.26.01.102.Rule 102 provides: 102.Master-Metering and Individual Metering in Multi-Occupant Residential Buildings(Rule 102). No multi-occupant residential buildings shall be master-metered after July 1, 1990, if the dwelling for non-transient tenants contain an electric space heating,water heating,or air conditioning(space cooling)unit that is not centrally controlled and for which the dwelling unit's tenants individually control electric usage. The Company has designed and plans to develop and construct the Brookside Landing Retirement & Health Care Facility (Brookside)in Orofino,Idaho.Brookside is designed to be an institutional and assisted-living facility,that presents residential characteristics. The two-story facility will be comprised of 12 residential care unit rooms and 28 apartment styled units. The occupants, retired seniors, the Company states, will have made the choice that they no longer want the responsibilities for maintaining a home or apartment and want to have the assistance provided that can simplify and make their lives more secure.Included in their standard rental package are meals,housekeeping,maintenance and all utilities(except telephone).The Company requests an exemption from the individual metering standards which would otherwise by applied to the congregate living building. The Company contends that master-metering should not be required in a project of this nature,where utility costs will be covered in the fees paid by residents,and where the facility is designed to be energy efficient. Brookside provides features for extensive life safety measures to allow the occupant to live an independent life style in a controlled environment.Energy conservation measures to be incorporated in the project include: 2"ridged Styrofoam perimeter insulation around the foundation below the floor. 2"x 6"exterior walls with R-19 batt insulation. The roof structure is comprised of wood trusses with R-38 fiberglass foil-reinforced vapor barrier. Doors are to be high-efficiency insulated and any glazing to be insulated solar bronze glass. Windows to be high-efficiency vinyl framed with insulated low"E"argon gas glass. Fluorescent lighting typical throughout instead of incandescent bulbs. Natural gas not being available in this area the water heaters are to be U-L.approved,electric,glass-lined and have thermostatic step control and two magnesium anode rods. Hot water recirculating pumps are to be installed in system and are to have built in thermal overload protection. WESTLAW ©2024 Thomson Reuters.

COMMISSION FINDINGS The Commission has reviewed the filings of record in Case No. WWP-E-96-5. The Commission has also reviewed its prior Order Nos.23936(Case No.IPC-E-91-21)and 26451 (Case No.IPC-E-96-7)wherein the Commission granted an exemption from Master-Metering Rules to Crossings Corporation for a similar assisted-living facility in Boise, Idaho. The Commission notes that the Brookside facility will incorporate significant energy conservation measures in its construction. We find that the nature of the proposed institutional and assisted living facility described above in both design and operation does not lend itself well to providing the conservation signals that would otherwise be provided through individual metering and billing.We therefore find it reasonable to authorize the requested exemption from Rule 102 of the Commission's Master-Metering Rules for Electric Utilities,subject to the following conditions: a)The exemption from the prohibition from master-metering applies only so long as the facility initially known as Brookside Landing Retirement and Health Care Facility is used for assisted living or similar institutional type care-giving; b)The facility as constructed incorporates the energy efficiency measures described above and meets or exceeds the Construction Standards for Energy Conservation as set forth in Idaho Code,Title 44 Chapter 23;and c)The terms of the exemption are recorded at the County Recorder's office in a manner that would put any prospective purchasers of the facility on notice of the terms of the exemption.
