According to the plans there is a pedestrian pathway located next to the Settlers Canal.
The canal in this area is extremely dangerous, especially to children, because of high
water velocity, and flows. SID does not recommend placing this pathway next to the
canal for safety reasons. However, if the pathway must be placed within SID's easements
the district will require a license agreement from the developer and/or whoever shall have
ownership of the pathway. The agreement will address liability issues, as well as the

released until all facilities required meet the fire protection requirements and are operational.
The City Council approved at its March 9, 2004 meeting to proceed with a new well site or
provide other means to increase water supply since currently there is not an adequate water
supply available for the proposed proj ect. It is understood that for the City to provide a new
well site it will take an undetermined amount of time for the City to develop a well site,
including all the necessary testing and requirements pursuant to the Idaho Deparlrnent of
Water Resources. Additionally, the additional water supply would need to be in place before
any development could occur.
4. The Public Works Department provided two alternafives for supplying water to the
proposed project, and said options are noted as follows:
Construction of an additional well in the high-pressure zone.
2. Routing water supply from the low-pressure zone to the high-pressure zone by

(CIP) for road widening in 2015. Locust Grove Road is not currently scheduled within ACHD's
Five Year Work Program or Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) for roadway widening. Other urban
services, such as sewer and water, are near to this site and the applicant should be able to extend such
services to the site. It is also found that the subject site is proposed for development in a fashion
similar to other properties in the area.
17. It is found that the proposed R-8 zoning and subsequent residential use proposed with
the concurrent preliminary plat match the intended character of the vicinity, as noted on the Future
Land Use Map in the Comprehensive Plan. It is also found that the proposed zoning/uses can be
designed and constructed in a manner that will be harmonious with, and appropriate in appearance
with, the existing and intended character of the surrounding area. The existing character of the area
will, and is, currently changing, especially upon build-out of the proposed project and other similar
subdivisions in the general vicinity. It is found that the proposed zoning/uses will adversely change
the essential character of the area.
18. Due to other existing and proposed uses near the site, it is not anticipated that the
proposed zoning/uses will be hazazdous or disturbing to future or existing neighbors in the area.
19. The Meridian Fire Department submitted a list of conditions and needs, and said list
is addressed above in 12.C. Water and sanitary sewer service are proposed to be extended from
existing main lines adjacent to the proposed development. The Public Works Department has
determined that an additional water supply well is needed in this vicinity. Discussions are ongoing
with this developer for a site within the subdivision for a new well. The developer has indicated to
staff that it may be possible to locate the well within the "Grove" common area. The developer and

PAGE 13 OF 30
stafffrom the Public Works Department are continuing to work on the location of the well site. This
project went before ACHD's consent agenda on January 28, 2004, and ACHD, with site-specific and
standard conditions, approved the subject development. Review of the ACRD report concerning this
subdivision will provide further information.
20. The developer will be financing the extension of sewer, water, local street
infrastructure, utilities and irrigation services to serve the project. The primarypublic 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 for public services and facilities and that the annexation and
zoning will not be detrimental to the community's economic welfare.
21. According to the Traffic Impact Study (TIS) prepazed by Dobie Engineering, Inc., the
proposed project is anticipated to generate 2,490 vehicle trips per day: 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 annexation and subsequent uses will create excessive noise, smoke, fumes, glare or
odors. It is found that the proposed residential zoning/uses will .not be detrimental to people,
property or the general welfare of the area.
22. The applicant is proposing to construct one public street entrance into the site from
Locust Grove Road, and one public street entrance into the site from McMillan Road. If the two
proposed vehicular approaches aze approved by ACHD, it is not believed that the subdivision will
create interference with traffic on the surrounding public streets.

23. It is found that there are some existing trees and other mature landscaping near the
existing farm house (near McMillan Road) that should be retained and protected. Any existing trees
lazger than 4" caliper that are removed shall be mitigated for, per the Landscape Ordinance MCC 12-
13-13. There will need to be an adopted plan of how to protect the "grove" trees during demolition
of the farm house and new construction near the grove. There should be tree protection zones
established and fenced before demolition begins. The applicant shall work with the City Arborist,
Ekoy Huff, on designing and implementing a protection plan. 1f any trees aze deemed to be a hazard,
diseased or dying by the City Arborist, prior to removal, mitigation will not be required for those
trees. It is further recommended that the applicant verify the status of the existing trees prior to
submitting final plat and detailing any required mitigation on the detailed landscape plan submitted
with the final plat. The applicant is proposing to relocate and leave the North Slough open abutting
the site. It is believed that the North Slough is a scenic feature that should be protected.
It is found that the proposed. annexation and zoning should not result in the loss or damage of
any natural or scenic features, as long as the maj ority of the grove area is adequately protected and
the North Slough is relocated in a manner that does not negatively impact its beauty. There is no
awareness of any natural ar scenic feature(s) that would be lost, damaged or destroyed by allowing
this site to be annexed, zoned and developed with residential uses.
24. It is found that the annexation and zoning of this properly to R-8 would be in the
best interest of the City.
25. It is found that if the developer pays for the requested improvements
and complies with the conditions set forth in these Findings of Fact No. 12, and all sub-parts, the
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW

expense, it is recommended that Capital Development be eligible for a latecomers
ageement. Public Works shall determine which improvements shall be made.
Any required reimbursement must be paid prior to signature on the final plat.
30. The developer has ageed to reimburse the City for the cost of option #2
hereinabove, if this option is selected by the City.
31. Imposing anon-build ageement upon the development will provide the security to
the City until such time as the water is available, and the non-build ageement will not be released
until all facilities required meet the fire protection requirements and are operational.

The City Council approved at its March 9, 2004 meeting to proceed with a new well site or
provide other means to increase water supply since currently there is not an adequate water
supply available for the proposed project. It is understood that for the City to provide a new
well site it will take an undetermined amount of time for the City to develop a well site,
including all the necessary testing and requirements pursuant to the Idaho, Department of
W ater Resources. Additionally, the additional water supply would need to be in place before
any development could occur. Public Works shall determine which improvements shall be
made. Any required reimbursement must be paid prior to signature on the final plat.
4. The Public Works Department provided two alternatives for supplying water to the
proposed project, and said options are noted as follows:
Construction of an additional well in the high-pressure zone.
2. Routing water supply from the low-pressure zone to the high-pressure zone by
pipeline and pressure-reducing valve station(s).
The City would maintain control of the design, plans, and construcfion of the
improvements. If other projects in the high-pressure zone north of Ustick Road
benefit fivm this method and if Capital Development reimburses the City for this
expense, it is recommended that Capital Development be eligible for a latecomers
agreement. Public Works shall detemune which improvements shall be made.
