Attached are the Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law for the annexation & zoning and preliminary plat for Gander
Creek Subdivision. These documents are scheduled to be on the Council agenda for June 11 th .
Staff is requesting these Findings be placed on the regular agenda for Council’s clarification of the following items noted
by the Applicant:
1. Planning Division Condition A.1.c: This condition requires the construction of pedestrian walkways
along the entire frontage of W. McMillan Rd. and the future N. McCrossan Ave., the north-south
collector, with the first phase of development. The prior condition A.1.b. requires the construction of N.
McCrossan Ave. with the earlier part of Phase 2 or at the time of substantial completion of the high
school. The two conditions are a bit inconsistent regarding timing. It would be customary to install the
sidewalk/pedestrian pathway on N. McCrossan Ave. as part of that construction project. We believe the
Council intended that the sidewalk/pedestrian pathway along W. McMillan Rd. and N. Mc Crossan Ave.
be completed before the Owyhee High School opens so that students have safe access to school. If the
time frame required in Condition A.1.c matched that of the mid-mile collector in A.1.b. it would be
more practical from a construction standpoint and would still ensure that the City Council's intent was
satisfied. We would request this clarification.
2. Planning Division Condition A.3.b.: This condition requires a detail of the 12-foot berm/wall
combination to be prepared for Phases 5,6, and 9 to confirm the facility will be a minimum of 12 feet
higher than the centerline elevation of SH-16. We believe the intent of the Council was for this
condition to apply to the adopted ITD at-grade plan for SH-16. We would recommend adding language
to reference the currently approved plan as of the Council hearing date to avoid future confusion in
case the ITD plan for SH-16 changes.
