We have reviewed staff comments for the Planning & Zoning Commission meeting of
September 20, 2018, and have the following responses:
EXHIBIT B - AGENCY & DEPARTMENT COMMENTS/CONDITIONS
1. PLANNING DIVISION
1.1 Development Agreement
1.1.1 The applicant will comply.
1.2 Site Specific Conditions of Approval (numbering from staff report is off)
1.1.1 Understood.
a. The applicant will connect the existing home (Lot 3, Block 5) to city utilities
prior to signature on the final plat within which the specific home lies.
b. The common driveway shown as Lot 13, Block 3, will end at 150 feet; the
remainder of the lot serves as a sewer easement to serve adjacent property.
We have contacted the Meridian Fire Department, and they do not have
an issue with the driveway as long as it is 150 feet or less; if the driveway
were to extend beyond 150', the homes on the driveway would be required
to have fire sprinklers.
c. A setback exhibit for the lots fronting the common driveway will be provided
with the final plat application.
d. Understood.
1.1.2 Landscape plan dated 7/24/18:
a. The Settler's Irrigation Districts will not allow trees to be planted within their
easement. The applicant is retaining the existing large spruce trees within the
building lots on the north and within the common area on the east boundary to
meet the minimum requirement.

b. The applicant will install the multi -use pathway within Lot 22, Block 3 and
Lot 31, Block 5, along with turf, sprinklers and shrubs. Since these lots are
encumbered by a Settlers Irrigation easement, we cannot install additional
trees. In my discussion with Settlers, the existing trees may remain, but new
trees will not be allowed. The area was counted as part of the eligible open
space.
c. Existing trees are being retained on site to meet the minimum landscape
requirements, as planting of trees within the irrigation district easements will
not be allowed.
d. The applicant will comply.
e. Fencing will be provided and meet all requirements for adequate visibility of
common areas.
f. There is existing landscaping across the frontage of 5136 W. Cherry Lane.
However, an existing driveway is also located within the 25 feet for access to
the existing garage oriented to the south. The applicant will provide an
easement as requested.
g. Landscaping for the multi -use pathways will be as shown on the approved
landscape plan. The existing spruce trees being retained meet/exceed the
minimum landscape requirements. Alternative Compliance may be
necessary to satisfy the irrigation district and comply with the UDC.
h. The applicant will comply.
1.2 General Conditions of Approval
1.2.1 The applicant will comply.
1.2.2 The applicant will comply.
1.2.3 Understood, with the exception that the Safford Lateral and Settlers Canal will
