F.
Adopt the action of the City Council taken at their March 2, 2004 meeting as follows:
For clarification:
1.
Duane Drive shall be a public street connection. Also, a public hearing would
have to be held by the Commission ifthere was a request for the gate to be
removed. Anyone can make the request to remove the gate, which would include
members of the public, service providers, agencies, etc. (Per Christy Richardson's
of letter to Anna Powell - Planning and Zoning Director, stamped: RECEIVED
FEB 04 2004 City of Meridian City Clerk Office.)
Additionally, the Commission, upon a public hearing, would then have to address
the Duane Drive standards, width, sidewalks, and who would bear the expense for
said improvements.
At no point in time shall construction traffic, or extra vehicles, except the present
existing surrounding homeowners, be allowed to use Duane Drive, and the existing
fence, which is now in place, shall remain in place until such time as the gate can be
constructed.
2.
Since the most western portion of the property is to be made a part of this annexation
which is to be rezoned to C-G, a Development Agreement shall be entered into
between the City of Meridian and the owners of the property to be zoned C-G (Harry

& Frances Bryson and Melvin R. and Noma E. Schrarnmeck Trust) that would
restrict development of future uses for this area. The Development Agreement also
cites the appropriate Comprehensive Plan policies (from Chapter VI and VII) as
applicable to these properties.
3.
Pertaining to the dispute over the boundary lines on Granger between the Applicant
and Jim and Irma Mittleider, the Applicant resolved this situation by positioning the
right -of-way further north to compensate for what the Mittleider's believe to be their
property. The Applicant shall also work with the Mittleiders to work out the piping of
ditches. Additionally, the Applicant stated on public record that they would be
willing to meet with the Mittleiders to go over the development plan, and to discuss
any issues they may have.
The revised Landscape Plan shows the increase landscape buffer along Ustick
Road to be 35 feet, which meets the entryway corridor policy of the City.
14.
It is found that the subject property is large enough to accommodate the requested use
and all required yards, open spaces and other features required by this ordinance, upon the submittal
of the revised preliminary plat.
15.
The current Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates the property as Medium
Density Residential for the proposed R-4 property. It is found that the proposed residential uses are
harmonious with and in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan.
16.
That the proposed R-4 zoning and subsequent residential use proposed in the
revised 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. It is also found that that to
ensure compatibility of the commercial area, a Development Agreement shall be required which
will help guide appropriate and harmonious appearances in the future. The existing character of
the area will, and is, currently changing, especially upon build-out of the proposed project and
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION AND ORDER
GRANTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT

other similar subdivisions in the general vicinity. It is not found that the project will adversely
change the essential character of the area.
17.
It is not anticipated that the proposed project will have an adverse impact on other
properties within the vicinity.
18.
It is found that the proposed development can be adequately served by the
essential public facilities and services. The Meridian Fire Department submitted conditions, and
said conditions are addressed in number 13. D. hereinabove. Water and sanitary sewer service are
proposed to be extended from existing service lines in Ustick Road and near the South Slough,
via Eagle Road. The developer will be financing the extension of sewer, water, local street
infrastructure, utilities and irrigation services to serve the project.
19.
It is found that the proposed use would not be detrimental to the economic welfare
of the community, nor would it create the need for any new facilities or services to be paid for by
the public that would be considered excessive. 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 and school facilities and
services.
20.
It is found that the proposed uses on the subject property will create additional
traffic on nearby arterial roadways. It is also 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 the proposed uses will create
excessive noise, smoke, fumes, glare, or odors.
21.
ACHD has reviewed and recommended approval of the vehicular approach to the
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION AND ORDER
GRANTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
PAGE 11 OF 24
site from Ustick Road. The ACHD Commission approved the subject application and proposed
vehicle approaches. Further, the applicant is proposing to extend stub streets that were originally
approved and constructed to provide efficient access to the site, limiting the amount of
interference with traffic on surrounding streets. Review ofthe ACHD report for this project will
provide additional information.
22.
A revised Landscape Plan was submitted and which Plan increased the landscaping
along Ustick Road to 35 feet, it took out the very long street and created a loop. Additionally, there
will be pedestrian access from the current terminus ofBriarwood Drive to Briarwood Subdivision, as
proposed, and to retain the existing maple tree. All trees that are removed from this site shall be
mitigated in accordance with MCC 12-13-13-6. The revised Landscape Plan was approved by the
Planning and Zoning Department.
The South Slough (Finch Lateral) crosses the subject property along the southwest
comer of the proposed R-4property. The Milk Lateral will be piped by the Applicant. Theapplicant
is proposing to construct a 10-foot wide paved multi-use pathway adjacent to the lateral as part of the
development proposal for the Redfeather development. If all applicable agency design and treatment
standards are complied with, it is found that the proposed pathway will not result in the destruction,
loss or damage ofthe lateral. Rather the proposal should enhance the lateral by allowing nearby
residents to enjoy the feature.
There appears to be no other natural or scenic features of major importance in the area
that may be affected the proposed rezone/uses.
