3. Run-off is not to create a mosquito breeding problem.
G. Adopt the Recommendations of Settlers' Irrigation District as follows:
1. All irrigation/drainage facilities along with their easements must be protected and
continue to function. The facility involved is the North Slough (Settlers Canal).
2. A Land Use Change Application must be on file prior to any approvals.
3. A license agreement MUST be signed and recorded prior to construction of any S.I.D.
facilities.
4. Any changes to the existing irrigation system such as relocation, tiling, and landscaping
must be approved by Settlers Irrigation District.
5. All storm drainage must be retained on-site.
6. The development must supply imgation access to all lots within the above-mentioned
subdivision. If the developer wishes to have Settlers Irrigation District own, operate, and
maintain the pressure imgation system an agreement needs to be in place prior to the pre-
constnxctionmeeting.
7. According to the plans there is a pedestrian pathway located next to the Settlers Canal.
The canal in this azea 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 who ever shall
have ownership of the pathway. The agreement will address liability issues, as well as the
operation and maintenance of the canal system.
H. Adopt the Recommendations of the Meridian Parks Department as follows:
1. Construct pathway (Meridian Loop) according to current published pathway standazds.
I. Adopt the action of the City Council taken at their March 9, 2004 meeting as follows:
For Clarification:

subdivision lots within the Settlement Bridge Subdivision so that the neighboring property's
water will not flow onto the lots within the subdivision. Additionally, a fence shall be
required along the property line, and the type of said fencing shall be approved by the
Planning and Zoning Department prior to construction.

2. Adequate water supply to meet the fire protection requirements must be conshvcted, installed
and operational prior to signature on the final plat, unless anon-build agreement is executed
and recorded prior to signature on the final plat. The non-build agreement will not be
released until all facilities required meet the fire protection requirements and are operational.
3. 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
Water Resources. Additionally, the additional water supplywould need to be in place before
any development could occur.
15. As part of the Planned Development (PD) the applicant is seeking relief from the
standard lot frontage requirement, lot sizes, and maximum cut-de-sac length, as required by
Meridian City Code. Further, the applicant is requesting a modification to the standazd
development requirements for a sidewalk and landscaping on McMillan Road. It is found that the
subject property is large enough to accommodate the requested use and all other required
features. Although the site is large enough to accommodate all of the features required by
ordinance, the applicant has asked, through the Planned Development, to modify specific
development standards.
16. It is found that the proposed single-family residential subdivision, with a gross
density of 3.7 dwelling units per acre (net 4.9 dwelling units per acre), is harmonious with and in
accordance with the 2002 Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map, which designates the
land to be "Medium Density Residential".
17. 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 or
intended character of the area.
18. It is not anticipated that the proposed development will have an adverse impact on
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION AND ORDER
GRANTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
PAGE 13 OF 30
the sunounding property.
19. The Meridian Fire Department submitted a list of conditions and needs, and said
list is addressed hereinabove in 14.D. 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 development for a new well.
The developer has indicated that it maybe possible to locate the well within the "Grove"
common area. The developer and Public Works Department continue to work oh the location of
the well site. The ACRD is recommending, with site-specific and standard conditions, approval
of the subject development. Review of ACHD's report will provide additional information for
this project.
20. If approved, the developer will be financing the extension of sewer, water, local
street infrastructure, 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 there will not
be excessive additional requirements at public cost and that the annexation and zoning will not
be detrimental to the community's economic welfare.
21. According to the Traffic Impact Study (TIS) prepared 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 development will create excessive noise, smoke, fumes, glare or
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION AND ORDER
GRANTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
PAGE 14 OF 30
odors. It is found that the proposed residential use will not be detrimental to people, property or
the general welfare of the area.
22. It is not believed that the proposed vehicular approaches on Locust Grove Road,
and McMillan Road will create an interference with traffic on the surrounding public streets.
Review of the ACHD report for this project will provide additional information.
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
larger 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,
Elroy Huff, on designing and implementing a protection plan. If any trees are 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 fmal 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 majority 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 or scenic feature(s) that would be lost, damaged or destroyed by allowing
this site to be annexed, zoned and developed with residential uses.

The canal in this area is extremely dangerous, especially to children, because of high
water velocity, and flows. SID does not reconunend 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 who ever shall
have ownership of the pathway. The agreement will address liability issues, as well as the
