This letter is concerning the Chesterfield Subdivision. These 46.40
acres are surrounded by people with 5 + acres. We have all been here a long
time and value our quality oflife. Therefore, we feel that going fTom RUT
to R-8 is unreasonable. We feel that the maximum size lots of 80 feet
instead of 50 feet would be the best choice. It would be a much nicer
looking neighborhood and less congested.
The proposed 213 lots would bring a minimum of 426 cars onto
Blackcat, a two lane road in bad repair. Add that to the two other
subdivisions going in below this one and we'll have way too much traffic.
We need turn lanes going into these subdivisions so traffic won't back up
more than necessary.
Our property is on the railroad tracks bordering a triangle ofland that
they want to put 8 houses on. I would like to see a berm with a 6 foot fence
on top so people won't be staring in our back yard. Also to keep people
fTom trespassing on private property.
We also need to have access to the irrigation ditch so we will need 2
gates that we can lock. We need one at the irrigation ditch and one going
fTom our property to get to the irrigation ditch.
There is some bare ground up by the irrigation ditch and we are
concerned that the people will park their boats, motor homes, trailers, ect. up
there. Could we keep that landscaped so that wouldn't happen?
I think these are reasonable requests and hope you will consider them
carefully.
Sincerely,
Garey and Andrea Casey

Planned Development, Preliminary Plat, and Annexation and Zoning applications for
Chesterfield Subdivision on February 19, 2004. The proposed subdivision was heard by City
Council on March 23, 2004. City Council voted at this hearing to remand the proposed
Planned Development, Preliminary Plat and Annexation and Zoning applications for
Chesterfield Subdivision to the Planning and Zoning Commission. City Council requested that
several revisions be made to the proposed subdivision plan. These revisions include: providing
for a mixture of lot sizes, frontage widths and housing types throughout the development, and
addressing the location of the subdivision's amenities and open space. The applicant has made
the changes requested by City Council.
The applicant's revised preliminary plat approval request is for 214 residential building lots and
39 common lots. The common lots include one centrally located 2.03-acre park and three open
space/drainage lots. The applicant has varied the lots sizes and frontages of the proposed lots
from the original submittal. Additionally, alleys have been added to the two blocks containing
smaller lots averaging 3,200 square feet in the center of the subdivision and larger lots have
been added to the perimeter of the subdivision. Proposed residential lot sizes range in size from
3,167 square feet to 11,006 square feet. The applicant is proposing three types of single family
lots: alley loaded lots ranging in size from 3,187 square feet to 3,298 square feet; standard lots
which range in size from 5,200 square feet to 11,006 square feet and patio home lots with
shared common drives averaging 5,000 square feet in size. The applicant wishes to reserve the
right to construct attached single-family housing on the alley-loaded lots and patio home lots.
The deilsity of the proposed subdivision is 4.63 dwelling units per acre.
The Planned Development application includes requests to allow reduced development standards
including reduced setbacks, reduced lot sizes, reduced frontages, and a request to exceed the
maximum block of 1000'. The following is a comparison of the City's minimum requirements
and the reduced requirements that have been proposed by the applicant:

owned by the Nampa-Meridian Irrigation District) and 4.62 acres of common area (10% of
gross land area) including a 2.03 acre park which will feature playground equipment, a gazebo
and picnic area, and a volleyball court. The original plan for Chesterfield divided the open
space and amenities into two smaller parks. The revised design for Chesterfield's features a
larger centrally located park (along with three smaller open space/drainage lots) and the location
of all open space amenities in this park.
The legal description submitted with the application appears to meet the requirements of the City
of Meridian and State Tax Commission and places the parcel contiguous to existing city limits.
The subject property is within the Urban Service Planning Area and essential City services are or
can be made available to the subject property.
CURRENT OWNERS OF RECORD
Centennial Development, LLC is the current property owner.
LOCATION
The property is located on Pine Street, approximately Ih mile north of Frmklin Road and Ih mile
west of Ten Mile Road.
SURROUNDING PROPERTIES
North: Castlebrook Subdivision No.2, zoned R-8
South: Agricultural, zoned RUT. Union Pacific Rail Road tracks are located immediately to the
south of the subject property (Ada County). The Comprehensive Plan designations for the
properties located to the south are Industrial and High Density Residential.
East: Rural residential, zoned RUT (Ada County). The Comprehensive Plan designation for the
property located to the east is Mixed Use Community.
West: Rural residential, zoned RUT (Ada County). The Comprehensive Plan designation for
the property located to the west is Medium Density Residential.
ANNEXATION & ZONING ANALYSIS
According to Ordinance 11-15-11, General Standards Applicable to Zoning Amendments, both
the P&Z Conunission and Council are required "to review the particular facts and
circumstances of each proposed zoning amendment in terms of the following standards and shall
fmd adequate evidence answering the following questions about the proposed zoning
amendment. "
The following is the list of standards found in 11-15-11 and analysis by staff:
A.
Will the new zoning be harmonious with and in accordance with the
Comprehensive Plan and, if not, has there been an application for a
Comprehensive Plan amendment;
AZ-OJ.()37, »-<>].046, CUP-OJ-070
Ch~""',ld S"hd'""',, AZPPCUP
Planning & Zoning CommissionlMayor & City Council
Page 4
Staff finds that the requested zoning designation, R-8, is hannonious with and in
accordance with the effective Comprehensive Plan ('02) and the Future Land Use
Map, which designates the land to be "Medium Density Residential. "
The Comprehensive Plan also indicates that the subject property should have a
Multi Use pathway running along Ten Mile Creek in the northeast comer of the
subject property. Subdivisions developed to the north of the subject property have
been approved with the regional pathway located on the east side of Ten Mile
Creek. Meridian's Parks Department is supportive of the regional pathway in this
location being located on the east side of Ten Mile Creek. The applicant has
indicated that they will construct a 5' asphalt multi-use pathway along the west
side of Ten Mile Creek. This pathway is an off-site improvement which was
offered by the developer.
B.
Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be rezoned in the
future;
The applicant has not indicated that they intend to rezone the subject property in
the future.
C.
Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be developed in the
fashion that would be allowed under the new zoning -for example, a
residential area turning into a commercial area by means of conditional use
permits;
Staff finds that the proposed single family residential subdivision would be
allowed within the requested R-8 zone, if accompanied with a Conditional Use
Permit for a Planned Development.
D.
Has there been a change in the area or adjacent areas which may dictate that
the area should be rezoned. For example, have the streets been widened, new
railroad access been developed or planned or adjacent area being developed
in a fashion similar to the proposed rezone area;
Staff finds that the land to the north of the subject property has been developed as
residential subdivisions (Castlebrook Subdivision No.2, a residential subdivision
with R-8 zoning, is located directly north of the subject property) similar to the
proposed subdivision. Staff finds that the requested zoning designation of R-8 is
hannonious with the recently approved subdivisions adjacent to the subject
property and it would be appropriate to rezone the property as requested. The
Comprehensive Plan designates property to the north as Medium Density
Residential, property to the east as Mixed Use Community and properties to the
south as High Density Residential and Industrial.

Will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public
facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of
the community;
Staff finds that the proposed subdivision will not result in excessive additional
requirements at public cost for public services and facilities. InfTastructure to
service the proposed planned development is in close proximity to the subject
property and the subject property will be accessible off of an existing road
network. The extension of Pine Street to Black Cat Road will be required as a

Ch""_~S"bdi"i,iooAZPP.CUP
Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council
Page 7
Staff finds the subdivision to be in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. The
Comprehensive Plan designates the property as Medium Density Residential and the
applicant's request for R-8 zoning is consistent with the Medium Density Residential
Comprehensive Plan designation.

funds, the applicant will extend urban services to the subject property from existing main
lines, and the extension of Pine Street will be constructed as a part of the Castlebrook No.
2 Subdivision.
d. The public rwancial capability of supporting services for the proposed
development;
Staff finds that the development will not require major expenditures for providing
supporting services; the applicant will pay for the construction of extending services to the
subject property.
e. The other health, safety or environmental problems that may be brought to the
Commission's attention.
Staff finds that the proposed development will not present any health, safety or
environmental problems that would need to be brought to the Council or Commission's
attention.
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
Park Drainage Areas: The proposed open space areas all feature drainage areas. In order for
these open space areas to be counted towards the 10% open space requirement for the subdivision
drainage ponds in these areas must be dry ponds.
Reduced Lot and Setback Reauirements: The reduced lot dimensions of3,167 square feet and the
proposed reduced front yard and side yard setbacks within the proposed subdivision are less than
those required by the current Zoning Ordinance and would not be permitted without the
applicant's request for a Planned Development. Staff supports the requested reduced setbacks and
lot dimensions; the resulting smaller lot sizes and proposed patio homes with shared common
drives will help to increase the diversity of Meridian's housing choices.
Shared Common Drives: The smaller patio home lots located in the southern portion of the
subdivision share common driveways. The proposed configuration features a series of four patio

Page 8
home lots (5,000 square foot lots) which are accessed by a shared common drive. Staff is
supportive of the proposed configuration for the patio lots and the diversity of housing types
which the applicant is proposing. The recently approved Berkeley Square subdivision featured a
similar configuration with a series of six small lots sharing a common drive. While staff is
supportive of the proposed lot configuration, staff recommends that the applicant design the
proposed shared driveways to resemble a private road rather than a standard driveway (i.e., a curb
return rather than a rolled curb.)
Pine Street Extension: The subject property is currently land locked. Pine Street will be extended
to Black Cat Road during the construction of the Castlebrook No.2 Subdivision. Staff is
recommending that the Final Plat for Chesterfield not be signed until the Pine Street extension to
Black Cat Road is completed.

That the design, construction, operation, and maintenance will be compatible with
other uses in the general neighborhood and with the existing or intended character of
the general vicinity and that such use will not adversely change the essential
character of the same area;
Staff finds that the proposed residential subdivision use will be hannonious with the
intended and existing character of the area. The proposed development is located
immediately south of Castlebrook Subdivision No.2, another residential subdivision with
R-8 zoning and the Comprehensive Plan designates property to the north and west as
Medium Density Residential, to the east as Mixed Use Community, and property
immediately to the south as High Density Residential and Industrial.
That the proposed use, ü it complies with all conditions of the approval imposed, will
not adversely affect other property in the vicinity;
Staff does not anticipate that the proposed project will have an adverse impact on other
properties within the vicinity; however, the Commission and Council should consider any
testimony (written and oral) presented at the public hearings before making this finding.
That the proposed use will be served adequately by essential public facilities and
services such as highways, street, police, and Îwe protection, drainage structures,
refuse disposal, water, sewer or that the person responsible for the establishment of
proposed conditional use shaD be able to provide adequately any such services;
Staff finds that the proposed development will be adequately served by the essential public
facilities and services listed above. See Annexation and Zoning Comments G and H.
That the proposed use will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost
for public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare
of the community;
Staff finds that the proposed use will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the
community; the applicant will be responsible for the costs of extending existing sewer and
water mains to the subject property and Pine Street will be extended as a part of the
Castiebrook development.
That the proposed use will not involve activities or processes, materials, equipment,
and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property, or

general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes,
glare or odors;
Staff finds that there will be an increase in traffic and noise in the general vicinity if the
subdivision is approved, but that approval of the subdivision will not lead to a major
increase in smoke, fumes, glare, odors or other disturbances that will be considered
detrimental to the welfare of the City and the subdivision's neighbors.
H.
That the proposed use will have vehicular approaches to the property which shall be
so designed as not to create an interference with traffic on surrounding public
streets;
Based on the ACHD staff report, staff finds that the proposed vehicular approaches are
sufficient such that the development will not create significant interference with any traffic
on the surrounding public streets.
ACHD has not indicated that there are any significant traffic issues facing the proposed
project. Please review the ACHD report for this project for additional information
regarding this finding.
I.
That the proposed use will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural,
scenic or historic feature considered to be of major importance.
Staff finds that the proposed use will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a
natural, scenic or historic feature considered to be of major importance. The applicant will
be required to work with the Parks Department on a mitigation plan for existing trees.
SITE SPECIFIC COMMENTS (Conditional Use Permit)
I.
Applicant shall meet all of the requirements of the preliminary plat as a condition of the
Conditional Use Permit.
2.
All development shall comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Fair
Housing Act.
APPLICABLE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES: (from Chapter VI and VII)
. "Large development proposals that are likely to generate significant traffic should be
assessed for their impact on the transportation system and surrounding land uses. They
should be examined for ways to encourage all forms of transportation such as transit,
walking, and cycling.
. New development should not rely on cul-de-sacs since they provide poor fire access,
walkability, and neighborhood social life. New development and streets should be
designed to encourage walking and bicycling.

. Pathways that encourage use by bicyclists and pedestrians can decrease road congestion
and add to the community's quality oflife. The proposed off-street and multiple-use
pathway systems are depicted in Figures VI-3 and VI-4. New and existing developments
should ensure that the guidelines laid out in this plan are adopted.
. Provide for a wide diversity of housing types (single-family, modular, mobile homes and
multi-family arrangements) and choices between ownership and rental dwelling units for
all income groups in a variety oflocation suitable for residential development.

Commission Action
This item was scheduled on the consent agenda on January 28, 2004. The Commission pulled this
item from the consent agenda to discuss EI Gato Street (Pine Avenue).
The Commission approved the report in accordance with staffs recommendation with one exception.
The Commission believes that that EI Gato (Pine Avenue) has the potential to carry higher volumes of
traffic and would like EI Gato Street to function in a way that is efficient for pedestrians, bicyclists, and
automobiles. To accommodate for multiple transportation modes, the Commission required the
applicant to stripe EI Gato Street (Pine Avenue) to have two 12-foot travel lanes and two 6-foot bike
lanes.
B.
Findings for Consideration
1.
Street Sections
Pine Street rEI Gato Street!
District policy 72-F1A, 7202.3.2 and 7202.3.5, requires that residential collectors be constructed as
36-foot street sections with curb, gutter and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalks with no front-on housing.
The access restrictions for these street segments should be stated on the final plat. Unless otherwise
noted, parking should be prohibited on these street segments. Coordinate the signage plan with
District staff.
District policy 7203.4.2 states "if a proposed development abuts an unpaved street or streets the
developer shall construct one-half of the full street improvements, including curb, gutter and concrete
sidewalk plus additional pavement widening beyond the centerline established for the street to
provide a minimum 24-feet wide paved surface. A 3-foot wide gravel shoulder and a drainage swale
sized to accommodate the roadway storm runoff shall be constructed on the unimproved side. This
street section shall be constructed within a minimum 40-foot right-of-way."
With Castlebrook Subdivision #1 and Castlebrook Subdivision #2, the applicant has proposed to
construct Pine Street (EI Gato Street) to intersect Black Cat Road at the half-mile. Pine Street (EI
Gato Street) was not identified as a collector roadway on the 2020 Functional Street Classification
System Map but was identified as a mid-mile collector within the JUB Collector Study. The JUB
collector study has not yet been finalized or adopted by the ACHD Commission. Due to the fact that
the Pine Street (EI Gato Street) was not identified as a future collector on the 2020 Functional Street
Classification System Map, the Commission had not adopted the findings of the JUB Collector study,
and the conclusions from the submitted traffic impact study for Castlebrook Subdivision #1 and
Castlebrook Subdivision #2 indicated that the traffic volumes on Pine Street (EI Gato Street) would be
consistent with a residential collector, the District required the applicant to construct Pine Street (EI
Gato Street) as a residential collector with a 36-foot street section with vertical curb, gutter and 5-foot
sidewalk within 50-feet of right-of-way. Due to the fact that this roadway was classified as a
residential collector, front on housing was restricted on this roadway and access restrictions were
applied.
The subject parcel is located directly south of Castlebrook Subdivision #2 and does not have frontage
on the public transportation system. With this application, the applicant is proposing to complete Pine
Street (EI Gato Street) abutting this parcel (at the mid mile). Due to the fact that the applicant is
proposing to complete Pine Street (EI Gato Street) on the north property line, the applicant should
provide sufficient right-of-way to complete a 36-foot street section with vertical curb, gutter and 5-foot
concrete sidewalk within a total of 50-feet of right-of-way. This street section will be consistent with
the street section that was previously approved with Castlebrook Subdivision #1 and Castlebrook
Subdivision #2. The applicant should also restrict direct access to Pine Street (EI Gato Street). This
restriction should be noted on the final plat.
4
Although the applicant will be completing a 36-foot street section for a majority of EI Gato Street, the
applicant cannot complete the eastern portion of EI Gato, due to the fact that the property to the north
of EI Gato is not currently developed. The applicant should transition the location of the right-of-way
to taper from a complete 36-foot street section at the west of the property to one half of a 36-foot
street section with a minimum of 24-feet of pavement, vertical curb, gutter and 5-foot concrete
sidewalk at the east of the property.
Internal Roadwavs
District policy 7204.4.2 states, "developments with any buildable lot that is less that 1.5-acres in size
will typically provide streets having a minimum pavement width of 32-feet with curb, gutter and
sidewalks. The total street width shall be 36-feet from back-of-curb to back-of-curb. Variations of this
width may be allowed, depending on traffic volumes forecast to be generated by the development.
Concrete sidewalks shall be a minimum of 5-feet in width unless they are separated from the curb 5-
feet or more in which case the sidewalk shall be a minimum of 4-feet in width.
2.
The applicant is proposing to construct the remaining roadways as 36-foot street sections with rolled
curb, gutter and 5-foot concrete sidewalk within 50-feet of right-of-way.
Roadway Offsets
District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 150-feet from a
residential collector roadway (measured centerline to centerline).
District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 125-feet from
another local roadway (measured centerline to centerline).
The applicant is proposing to construct Carisbrooke Avenue to intersect Pine Street (EI Gato Street)
approximately 81 O-feet east of the west property line. This roadway is proposed to align with the
main entrance to Castlebrook Subdivision #2. This roadway meets the District's minimum offsets for
local roadways intersecting a residential collector roadway and should be approved with this
application.
The applicant is proposing to construct Notel Creek Avenue to intersect Pine Street (EI Gato Street)
approximately 560-feet west of the east property line. This roadway meets the District's minimum
offsets for local roadways intersecting a residential collector roadway and should be approved with
this application.
3.
Stub Streets
District policy 7203.5.1 states that the street design in a proposed development shall cause no undue
hardship to adjoining property. An adequate and convenient access to adjoining property for use in
future development may be required. If a street ends at the development boundary, it shall meet the
requirements of sub section 7205, "non-continuous streets."
District policy 7205.5 states that stub streets will be required to provide intra-neighborhood circulation
or to provide access to adjoining properties. Stub streets will conform with the requirements
described in Section 7204.5, 7204.6 and 7204.7, except a temporary cul-de-sac will not be required if
the stub street has a length no greater than 150-feet. A sign shall be installed at the terminus of the
stub street stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE". In addition, a stub
street must meet the following conditions:
. A stub street shall be designed to slope towards the street intersection and drain
surface water toward that intersection, unless a satisfactory storm drain system is
installed.
5
The District may require appropriate covenants guaranteeing that the stub street will
remain free of obstructions.
The applicant is proposing to construct a stub street (Kaspell Street) to the east property line
approximately 100-feet north of the south property line. Due to the fact that this stub street will be
greater than 150-feet in depth, the applicant will be required to construct a temporary turnaround at
the terminus of the roadway. The applicant should install a sign at the terminus of the stub street
stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE".
The applicant is not proposing to construct a stub street to the west property line to serve the 5.3-acre
site that is located directly to the west. Staff is concerned that the 5.3 "acre site will not have
interconnectivity with the surrounding parcels and may not have adequate access to the public
transportation system. To provide secondary access for emergency services, eliminate multiple
access points to minor arterials (Black Cat Road), reduce vehicle miles traveled, connect the
surrounding neighborhoods and increase the sense of community in the area, Staff recommends that
the applicant construct a stub street to the west property line to serve the 5.3-acre site to the east.
Due to the fact that this stub street will be greater than 150-feet in depth. the applicant will be
required to construct a temporary turnaround at the terminus of the roadway. The applicant should
install a sign at the terminus of the stub street stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN
THE FUTURE".
4.
Turnarounds
District policy 7205.2.1 requires turnarounds to be constructed to provide a minimum turning radius of
45-feet. The applicant should also be required to provide a minimum of a 29-foot street section on
either side of any proposed center islands within the turnarounds. The medians should be
constructed a minimum of 4-feet wide to total a minimum of a 100-square foot area.
The applicant is not proposing to construct a standard cul-de-sac turnaround. The District will
consider alternatives to the standard turnaround on a case-by-case basis. The determination to
allow a non-standard turnaround will be based on turning area, drainage, maintenance considerations
and the written approval of the emergency fire service for the area where the development is located.
Minimum design standards shall be met for all non-standard turnarounds. Submit a design of the
turnaround for review and approval by District Development Division staff. Approval of the staff report
does not indicate approval of the non-standard turnaround design.
The applicant is proposing to construct the two proposed standard cul-de-sac turnarounds without
center islands within them and an alternative turnaround.
The applicant should construct the proposed standard cul-de-sac turnarounds to provide a minimum
turning radius of 45-feet.
The applicant should construct the alternative turnaround to accommodate adequate turning area,
drainage. maintenance considerations and the written approval of the emergency fire service for the
area where the development is located. Minimum design standards shall be met for all non-standard
turnarounds. Submit a design of the turnaround for review and approval by District Development
Division staff. Approval of the staff report does not indicate approval of the non-standard turnaround
design.
5.
IslandslMedians
District policy 7202.7 and 7207.5 requires any proposed landscape islands/medians within the public
right-of-way dedicated by this plat should be owned and maintained by a homeowners association.
6
2.
3.
7
Notes of this should be required on the final plat. The applicant should also be required to provide a
minimum of a 21-foot street section on either side of any proposed center island/median. The
medians should be constructed a minimum of 4-feet wide to total a minimum of a 1 DO-square foot
area.
The applicant is proposing to construct center islands/medians within the public right-of-way
(Meadowpine Street, Notel Creek Avenue and Carisbrooke Avenue). The applicant should provide a
minimum of a 21-foot street section on either side of any proposed center island/median and
construct the island to be a minimum of 4-feet wide to total a minimum of a 1 DO-square foot area.
Any proposed landscape islands/medians within the public right-of-way dedicated by this plat should
be owned and maintained by a homeowners association. Notes of this should be required on the
final plat.
6.
Surrounding Roadways
Chesterfield Subdivision does not have frontage on the public transportation system and is proposing
to access the public roadway system through Castlebrook Subdivision#1 and Castlebrook
Subdivision #2. Castlebrook Subdivision #1 and Castlebrook Subdivision #2 have not completed the
final platting process therefore Chesterfield Subdivision does not have access to the public roadway
system at this time. Due to the fact that Castlebrook Subdivision #1 and Castlebrook Subdivision #2
has not dedicated right-of-way through the recordation of a final plat, Chesterfield Subdivision's
preliminary plat should be approved contingent upon the right-of-way within Castlebrook Subdivision
#1 and Castle brook Subdivision #2 being dedicated to the public and the roadways being constructed
or a financial surety in place for the construction of the roadways prior to the signature of the final plat
for Chesterfield Subdivision.
7.
Striping of EI Gato Street (Pine Avenue)
To accommodate for multiple transportation modes, the Commission required the applicant to stripe
EI Gato Street (Pine Avenue) to have two 12-foot travel lanes and two 6-foot bike lanes.
8.
Other Access
Pine Street is being constructed as a residential collector. District policy restricts front on housing
and access to residential collectors. Other than the access points that were specifically approved
with this application, direct lot access to Pine Street is prohibited. This restriction should be noted on
the final plat.

Request for Reconsideration of Commission Action
1.
Request for Reconsideration of Commission Action: A Commissioner, a member of ACHD staff
or any other person objecting to any final action taken by the Commission may request
reconsideration of that action, provided the request is not for a reconsideration of an action previously
requested to be reconsidered, an action whose provisions have been partly and materially carried
out, or an action that has created a contractual relationship with third parties.
a. Only a Commission member who voted with the prevailing side can move for reconsideration,
but the motion may be seconded by any Commissioner and is voted on by all Commissioners
present.
If a motion to reconsider is made and seconded it is subject to a motion to postpone to a
certain time.
b. The request must be in writing and delivered to the Secretary of the Highway District no later
than 3:00 p.m. on the day prior to the Commission's next scheduled regular meeting following
the meeting at which the action to be reconsidered was taken. Upon receipt of the request,
the Secretary shall cause the same to be placed on the agenda for that next scheduled
regular Commission meeting.
c. The request for reconsideration must be supported by written documentation setting forth new
facts and information not presented at the earlier meeting, or a changed situation that has
developed since the taking of the earlier vote, or information establishing an error of fact or
law in the earlier action. The request may also be supported by oral testimony at the meeting.
d. If a motion to reconsider passes, the effect is the original matter is in the exact position it
occupied the moment before it was voted on originally. It will normally be returned to ACHD
staff for further review. The Commission may set the date of the meeting at which the matter
is to be retumed. The Commission shall only take action on the original matter at a meeting
where the agenda notice so provides.
e. At the meeting where the original matter is again on the agenda for Commission action,
interested persons and ACHD staff may present such written and oral testimony as the
President of the Commission determines to be appropriate, and the Commission may take
any action the majority of the Commission deems advisable.
f. If a motion to reconsider passes, the applicant may be charged a reasonable fee, to cover
administrative costs, as established by the Commission.

Chesterfield Subdivisions
Public Hearing - August 19, 2004
RECEIVED
AUG 19 2004
EI Gato Neighborhood
City of Meridian
City Clerk Office
The El Gato neighborhood is strongl)' opposed to the Chesterfield subdivision as proposed and
the neighborhood wants its opposition to the Chesterfield Subdivision noted in the public record.
The EI Gato neighborhood cannot support the high housing density proposed for the subdivision.
We believe that the very small lot sil,es, greatly reduced ftont and rear setbacks, limited street
access, and few small parks are serious problems. It is the responsibility ofthe Meridian
Plantling and Zoning Commission to insure that the developer addresses these problems.
Responsible developers have proposc:d, and profitably developed, subdivisions without the
problems identified in the ChesterfieJ!d subdivisions. We believe that the developer ofthe
proposed Chesterfield subdivision os,s the skill and character to address the problems that we
have identified. However, we also bo31ieve that the developed will not address these problems
without proper guidance from MeridJ~ Planning and ZOIÚng.
The Chesterlield subdivision had be~n previously approved by Meridian Planning and Zoning
earlier this year. The Meridian City Council could not support the Planning and Zoning
recommendations and remanded the ,¡¡ubdivision back to Meridian Planning and Zoning to
correct the problems to increase the lot sizes, increase the setbacks, and incrt:asc the number and
size of the parks Úl the subdivision.
To date, the developer bas made littlo progress - many lot sizes are sûtl very small, the park
areas are stilI few and small, and housing setbacks are still too small. It appears to us as if there
has only been perfunctory attention to) addressing the concerns of the Meridian City Counoil.
The EI Gato neighborhood recommends that the ChesLeriield Subdivision be denied until the
developer adequately addresses the Ì!;sues ider1tified by {be Meridian City Council earlier this
year-
