A delivery ditch crosses through and serves this property. It is the Barker Lateral
Tap, No. 4248. The District has a tremendous amount of concern that this lateral
be operational no later than the 15th of March. Although it is not the District's
facility, and they have no legal jurisdiction, this would insure continued operation
of the entire Barker Lateral which services several hundred people upstream ITom
this location. This facility must be able to pass approximately 250 minor inches
of water at any given time. This is the only method of the District to operate this
lateral and have a continuous flow, as it is the last delivery in the system. It must
be allowed to pass through and continue on to the west until it returns back into
either the Evans Drain or Five-Mile Drain located to the west and north of this
project.
There is a water user's association known as the Barker Lateral Water User
Association Tap 4248. The Water Master and Secretary for this private delivery is
John P. Anderson. You may want to require the developer to contact Mr.
Anderson to insure that their needs are satisfied.
H.
Adopt the action of the City Council taken at their March 2, 2004 meeting as follows:
1.
The developer shall be required to provide the irrigation plans for the project
to John Anderson, an adjacent neighbor and the water master for the general
vicinity, and for homes within the Greenhill Estates Subdivision,.to make sure

that their irrigation water and delivery of said water of at least 250 miner
inches, are protected and shall not be interfered with during the irrigation
season. Also an agreement shall be entered into between the Sparrowhawk
property owners' association and the ditch users association so that the
maintenance and operation shall be provided for after the ditch has been tiled.
Additionally, the stormwater drainage shall be addressed as well.
2.
The developer shall be required to comply with the following conditions agreed to
by the developer at the public hearing at the City Council meeting held on March
2,2004, where David Waldron, the developer, made the following statement:
"Respectful of the concerns ofMr. Anderson and we are fully aware of the
requirements of the irrigation system and it's our intent to pipe that system and we
completely understand that we are not going to be able to exercise any
construction during the summer season until next October. So, I'm very happy to
share our irrigation plan when it's completed with him and we review it", and
pertaining to the drainage issue Mr. Waldron stated: "The drainage will be on site
completely", and which public testimony has been incorporated into public record
ITom that meeting.
13.
The City Council recognizes the concerns of John Anderson expressed in his letter
dated January 26,2004, from the Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District dated January 14, 2004,

3-lot commercial subdivision application was processed. This commercial subdivision,
Sparrowhawk Subdivision, recorded in 2003. In 2002, the City approved the Foothills
Apartments (CUP-02-00l), a 54-unit multi-family development on Lot I, Block I, of
Sparrowhawk Subdivision. The apartment complex was approved using a 20% use exception as
allowed by Meridian City Code. Along with the apartment complex, CUP-02-001 also included a
request for conceptual approval of 12 commercial buildings containing 134,760 square feet of
retail, warehouse, and office uses on Lots 2 and 3, Block 1. Some of the conceptual uses that
were proposed included: a convenience store, car wash, gymnastic center, bank, and restaurants.

Permit of the Staff Report for a detailed analysis ofthe proposed amenities and the design
thereof.
15.
As part of the Planned Development (PD) the Applicant is seeking relief ITom the
standards requirement to construct the 35-foot wide street buffer on Franklin Road prior to
occupancy of any of the buildings. Further, the Applicant is requesting a modification to the
standard development requirements for a land use buffer between the industrial uses to the north.

(See Staff Report Special Consideration #1)
Although the site is large enough to accommodate all of the features required by
ordinance, the Applicant has asked, through the PD, to modify specific development standards.
It is found that the site is large enough to accommodate the proposed uses and all yards, open
spaces, parking, landscaping and other features required by ordinance and/or by modifying the
requirements through the PD process.
16.
It is found that the proposed mixed-use subdivision is harmonious with and in
accordance with the 2002 Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map, which designates the
land to be "Commercial".
17.
If the landscape buffers are constructed as outlined in the Staff Report, it is found
that the general design, construction, operation, and maintenance should be compatible with
other uses in the general neighborhood and with the existing character or intended character of
the area.
18.
It is not anticipated that the proposed development will adversely affect the other
properties in the vicinity.
19.
The Meridian Fire Department has submitted a list of conditions and needs in order to
adequately serve the project, and which list is addressed above in number 12.c. Water and sanitary
sewer service are proposed to be extended ITom mains being installed adjacent to the proposed
development. On January 9, 2004, a joint agencyldepartment comments meeting was held with
representatives of key service providers to this property. Detailed conditions ITom Sanitary Services
Company (SSe), the Meridian Fire Department and the Meridian Parks Department are addressed
above in number 12. ACHD staff has approved this application with site-specific and standard

conditions. The ACHD conditions are addressed in number 12 above.
20.
The developer will be financing the extension of sewer, water, local street
inITastructure, utilities and irrigation services to serve the project. The primary public costs to serve
the future residents will be fire, police, school facilities and services, and the construction of a new
municipal well within the proposed development. It is found that there will not be excessive
additional requirements at public cost and that the proposed use will not be detrimental to the
community's economic welfare.
21.
It is recognized that traffic and noise will increase with the approval of this
subdivision; however, it is not believed that the amount generated will be detrimental to the general
welfare of the public. It is not anticipated that the proposed development will create excessive noise,
smoke, fumes, glare or odors. It is also found that the proposed uses will not be detrimental to people,
property or the general welfare ofthe area.
