Annexation and Zoning of 4.9lAcres fÌ'om RUT to R-8 (Medium Density Residential), by Packard Estates Development, LLC (File No. AZ-O4-022) . Preliminary Plat for Twenty (20) Building Lots on 4.85 Acres in a Proposed R-8 Zone, by Packard Estates Development, LLC (File No. PP-O4-029). We have reviewed the above referenced submittals and offer the following comments, as conditions of approval. These conditions shall be considered in full, unless expressly modified or deleted by motion of the Meridian City Council: APPLICATIONS SUMMARY The applicant, Packard Estates Development, LLC, has applied for Annexation and Zoning (AZ) and Preliminary Plat (PP) approval of twenty (20) building lots on 4.85 acres of land located on the south side of Granger Drive, approximately Yz of a mile east of Eagle Road. Currently there is a single-family home and some outbuildings on the site, which will' be removed. The land is designated as Medium Density Residential on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map. The applicant has requested all of the property be zoned R-8. The subject site was platted as Lot 8, in Georgianna Milk's First Subdivision in 1909. The applicant is proposing to re-subdivide this lot into twenty (20) buildable lots. The gross density of the proposed subdivision is 4.07 dwelling units per acre. This density is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan future land use designation of Medium Density Residential (between 3 and 8 dwelling units per acre). The twenty proposed building lots range in size fÌ'om 6,712 square feet up to 12,412 square feet. All housing types are proposed as single-family residential, with a minimum house size of 1,301 square feet. Because the subject parcel is less than 5-acres, no open space is required (MCC 12-13-16-2). The applicant is proposing to develop this site in one AZ-O4-002.PP-<>4-001 R,df~ilicr YilJ",AZ,PP Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council August 19, 2004 (P&Z Hearing Date) Page 2 phase. No variances, exceptions or reductions to the City adopted dimensional standards or uses are requested with the preliminary plat application. The proposed subdivision includes road access via one stub street fÌ'om the recently approved Redfeather Estates Subdivision No.2 to the west (Tahiti Drive) and Granger Drive to the north. The Ada County Highway District approved the subdivision with conditions on August 24, 2004, at the stafflevel. As of the print deadline for this report, the subject property is not contiguous to Meridian's existing corporate limits. This is due to the fact that the Redfeather Estates Subdivision No.2 annexation has not been finalized. Because this annexation was already approved by the City Council, the subject applicant was allowed to begin processing their annexation request. Until the Redfeather Estates Subdivision No.2 property is fonnally annexed and an ordinance is recorded, the subject property cannot be annexed. Staff believes that the Redfeather Estates Subdivision No.2 will be annexed within the next month or two. See Annexation and Zoning Conditions of Approval #1 below. Staff has provided a detailed analysis and recommended conditions of approval for the requested annexation and zoning and preliminary plat applications below. Staff is recommending approval of the applications, with the conditions outlined in this report. LOCATION The property is located on the south side of Granger Drive, approximately y, of a mile east of Eagle Road and Y, of a mile west of Cloverdale Road, in Section 4, Township 3 North, Range 1 East. SURROUNDING PROPERTIES North: Proposed Redfeather Estates Subdivision No.2 (single-family residential with R-4 zoning), currently zoned RUT in Ada County* West: Proposed Redfeather Estates Subdivision No.2 (single-family residential with R-4 zoning), currently zoned RUT in Ada County* East: Proposed Redfeather Estates Subdivision No.2 (single-family residential with R-4 zoning), currently zoned RUT in Ada County* South: Clover Meadows Subdivision (single-family residential), zoned R-l (Ada County) * As of the print deadline for this report this property has not been annexed into the City of Meridian. A development agreement and ordinance annexing the property into the City is pending. OWNERS OF RECORD The property owner of record is Packard Estates Development, LLC, and Wirt Edmonds, a managing member, has provided notarized consent for Engineering Solutions, LLP (Becky McKay) to submit the subject applications. AZ.Q4.Q18,PP-<J4.025 Ch.,worthAZ.PP.OOC Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council August 19,2004 (P&Z Hearing Date) Page 3 ANNEXATION & ZONING ANALYSIS According to Ordinance 11-15-11, General Standards Applicable to Zoning Amendments, both the P&Z Commission and Council are required "to review the particular facts and circumstances of each proposed zoning amendment in terms of the following standards and shall find 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, ü not, has there been an application for a Comprehensive Plan amendment; Staff finds that the proposed zoning desi!!11ation. R-8. is harmonious with and in accordance with the 2002 Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map- which desi!!11ates the land to be Medium Densitv Residential. There is a minimum target density of three dwelling units per acre in the Comprehensive Plan; the proposed gross density of Redfeather Village Subdivision is 4.07 dwelling units per acre. B. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be rezoned in the future; Staff does not anticipate that the applicant intends 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 zoning district ofR-8. The accompanying plat demonstrates the land will be developed with lot sizes, housing types and other dimensional requirements that conform to the proposed zoning designation. 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 directly north, west and east of the subject property has recently been approved for development similar to the proposed subdivision (Redfeather Estates Subdivision No.2). Dawson Meadows Subdivision and Redfeather Estates Subdivision No. I were also recently approved residential developments in the area (Boise City). Dawson Meadows Subdivision is located on the northwest comer of Cloverdale Road and Granger Drive and Redfeather Estates Subdivision No. I is located on the southwest comer of Cloverdale Road and Granger Drive. Except for two small parcels along Ustick Road, this is the last parcel designated 'Medium Density Residential' on the Future Land AZ.Q4'()18,PP-'()4-025 Ch"""rthAZ.PP.DOC Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council August 19,2004 (P&Z Hearing Date) Page 4 Use Map that has not been approved for development in Section 4, Township 3 North, Range I East. The arterial streets near this site, Fairview Avenue, Ustick Road (between Cloverdale Road and Eagle Road) and Eagle Road are currently not included within ACHD's Five Year Work Program for roadway improvements. Cloverdale Road, between Fairview Avenue and Ustick Road, is currently in the Five Year Work Program for roadway widening (5-lanes, curb, gutter, and sidewalk) but is unfunded. E. Will the proposed uses be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and that such use will not change the essential character of the same 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. Staff finds that the proposed R-8 zoning and subsequent single-family residential uses proposed in the preliminary plat are consistent with the intended character of the vicinity, as depicted on the Future Land Use Map. Staff also finds 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. Although there will be an impact of the subject development on the existing character of the area, staff finds that the impact is consistent with the intended character of the area; a mix oflow and medium density residential. F. Will the proposed uses not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighboring uses; The Commission and Council should rely on public testimony (oral and written) to determine whether or not the proposed zoning and subsequent uses will be disturbing or hazardous to the existing or future neighboring uses. Staff does not anticipate that the proposed residential uses will be hazardous as long as the conditions outlined in this report are complied with and construction traffic and house construction is conducted in a manner consistent with City Code. G. Will the area be served adequately by essential public facilities and services such as highways, streets, police and fll"e protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water, sewer or that the person responsible for the establishment of proposed zoning amendment shall be able to provide adequately any of such services; Sanitary sewer and water to serve this development is currently under development with Redfeather Estates Subdivision No.2. The applicant shall be responsible for the extension of utilities to and through this proposed development. Sizing and routing shall be coordinated with the Public Works Department. AZ.Q4-()18. "41-025 C"",worthAZ.PPDOC Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council August 19,2004 (P&Z Hearing Date) Page 5 The applicant and/or future property owners will be required to pay park and highway impact fees as well as construct on-site storm water drainage facilities. On August 24, 2004, ACHD staff approved this development with site-specific and standard conditions. Because vehicular access to this site is currently provided fÌ'om a substandard street (Granger), the applicant may have to install off-site improvements if Granger Drive is not improved when the subject site is ready to develop. Please review the ACHD report and Preliminary Plat Special Consideration #3 below for additional infonnation regarding this finding. On August 13, 2004, a joint agency/department comments meeting was held with representatives of key service providers to this property. Based on the joint agency/department meeting and other comments received fÌ'om agencies/departments, staff finds that the public services listed above can be made available to accommodate the proposed development. The Commission and Council should reference any written and/or verbal testimony submitted by any public service provider, regarding their ability to adequately service this project. H. 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; If approved, the developer will be financing the extension of sewer, water, local street infÌ'astructure, 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. Staff finds there will not be excessive additional requirements at public cost and that the proposed zoning and subsequent development will not be detrimental to the community's economic welfare. I. Will the proposed uses not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property or the general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors; Staff finds that the proposed annexation and the development of single-family homes on this site will not involve uses that will create nuisances that would be detrimental to the general welfare of the surrounding area. ACHD projects this development will generate 190 additional vehicle trips per day. Staff recognizes the fact that traffic and noise will increase with the approval of this subdivision; however, staff does not believe that the amount generated will be detrimental to the general welfare of the public. Staff does not anticipate the proposed annexation and subsequent uses will create excessive traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare, or odors. J. Will the area have vehicular approaches to the property which shall be so designed as not to create an interference with traffic on surrounding public streets; AZ-0,"018,"4\.(\25 Ch~,wonh.AZ.PP.DOC Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council August 19,2004 (P&Z Hearing Date) Page 6 The applicant is proposing to construct a new public street to intersect with Granger Drive (Betula Avenue). ACHD has approved the intersection of Betula Avenue and Granger Drive. Further, the applicant is proposing to extend a stub street (Tahiti Drive) fÌ'om Redfeather Estates Subdivision No.2 to provide another access to the site. If the two proposed vehicular approaches (public streets) are constructed as approved by ACHD, staff does not believe that the subdivision will create interference with traffic on the surrounding public streets. Please review the ACHD report for this project for additional information regarding this finding. K. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic feature of major importance; and Staff finds that no natural or scenic features of major importance will be lost or damaged by approving the annexation and rezone. Any existing trees larger than 4" caliper that are removed shall be mitigated for, per the Landscape Ordinance. L. Is the proposed zoning amendment in the best interest of the City of Meridian. (Ord. 592, 11-17-1992)? Staff finds that all essential services are available or will be provided by the developer to the subject property and will not require unreasonable expenditure of public funds. The applicant is proposing to develop the land in substantial compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan (medium density residential). The land east, west and north of the subject property has already been approved for annexation and development and this is a logical expansion of the City limits. In accordance with the findings listed above, staff finds that the annexation/rezone of this propertv would be in the best interest of the Citv. ANEXATION AND ZONING CONDTIONS OF APPROVAL 1. The legal description submitted with the application (dated 6-23-04, stamped by Gregory G. Carter) shows that the property will be contiguous to the corporate boundary of the City of Meridian once Redfeather Estates Subdivision No.2 is annexed. Until the zoning ordinance is recorded for Redfeather Estates Subdivision No.2, this parcel is not eligible for annexation. 2. Any existing domestic wells and/or septic systems within this project will have to be removed fÌ'om their domestic service, per City Ordinance Section 5-7-517, when services are available fÌ'om the City of Meridian. Wells may be used for non-domestic purposes such as landscape irrigation. 3. All irrigation ditches, laterals or canals, exclusive of natural waterways, intersecting, crossing or lying adjacent and contiguous to the parcel shall be tiled per City Ordinance 12-4-13. Plans will need to be approved by the appropriate irrigation/drainage district, or lateral users association (ditch owners), with written approval or non-approval submitted to the Public AZ-04-018."-<I4-025 Ch",worthAZPPDOC Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council August 19, 2004 (P&Z Hearing Date) Page 7 Works Department. If lateral users association approval can't be obtained, plans will be reviewed and approved by the Meridian City Engineer prior to final plat signature. 4. Any future subdivision, uses and construction on this property shall comply with the City of Meridian ordinances in effect at the time. PRELIMINARY PLAT FINDINGS AND REOUIREMENTS Sections 12-3-3 J.2 and 12-3-5 D read as follows: "In determining the acceptance of a proposed subdivision, the Commission/Council shall consider the objectives of this title and at least the following: A. The conformance of the subdivision with the Comprehensive Development Plan; Staff finds that the proposed application is in substantial compliance with the adopted Future Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan (Chapter VII). The proposed density, 4.07 dwelling units per acre (gross), 4.9 dwelling units per acre (net) is in compliance with the land use classification, medium density residential, noted on the map. B. The availability of public services to accommodate the proposed development; Staff finds that public services are available to accommodate the proposed development. (See finding "G" under Annexation and Zoning Analysis for more detail.) C. The continuity of the proposed development with the capital improvement program; Because the developer is installing sewer, water, and utilities for the development at their cost, staff finds that the subdivision will not require the expenditure of capital improvement funds. D. The public fmancial capability of supporting services for the proposed development; Staff recommends the Commission and Council rely upon comments fÌ'om the public service providers (i.e. police, fire, ACHD, etc) to determine this finding. (See finding "G" under Annexation and Zoning Analysis above, and the Agency Comments and Conditions at the end of this report for more detail.) E. The other health, safety or environmental problems that may be brought to the Commission's attention. Staff is not aware of any health, safety or environmental problems associated with the development of this subdivision that should be brought to the Councilor Commission's attention. ACHD considers road safety issues in their analysis; ACHD staff has approved this subdivision, with conditions. Staff recommends that the Commission and Council reference any public testimony that may be presented to determine whether or not the proposed subdivision may cause health, safety or environmental problems of which staff is unaware.

Common Drives: MCC 12-4-14 allows up to four (4) dwel1ing units to access a common driveway. Common drives serving two dwel1ing units shall be a minimum of sixteen feet (16') in width. Common drives less than one hundred and fifty feet (150') in length shall be constructed of at least six inches (6") of well-compacted, two-inch (2") minus crushed gravel and two and one half inches (2.5") of asphaltic concrete paving. MCC 11-9-1 allows the street fÌ'ontage for three or four lots sharing a common driveway to be reduced to 15 feet. The applicant is proposing to utilize a common driveway for Lots 9 and 10, Block 1. The public street fÌ'ontage for Lots 9 and 10, Block I are shown as 17 and 23-feet respectively, on the preliminary plat. Staff is generally supportive of common driveways, but has recently run into problems with narrow, windy common driveways. It is often difficult for vehicles, including both private automobiles and emergency vehicles, to maneuver (back-up, turnaround, etc.) in a 16-foot wide driveway that may have fences, cars or other obstructions adjacent to the pavement. NOTE: The Meridian Fire Department has requested that the common driveway to Lots 9 and 10, Block I be constructed 20-feet wide (see Agency Comments and Conditions below). Depending on where structures (garages) are oriented, fences are constructed, and adjacent parking is provided for Lots 9 and 10, a less than ideal situation may be created by allowing a common driveway. Therefore, at least 10 davs prior to the Citv Council meeting, the applicant should provide Planning & Zoning staff with a sketch of how homes and drivewavs on Lots 9 and 10, Block I. mav be constructed. Meridian Planning & Zoning and Fire Department staff will review the submitted sketch to ensure that the design of the common driveway and structures thereon, do not create a dangerous situation. A note should be placed on the face of the final plat stating the PUfDose of the common drivewav easement and who is to be responsible for maintenance thereof. Unless otherwise reQuired bv the Meridian Fire De{lartment. said common drive should be constructed a minimum of 16-feet wide. with crushed gravel and asphaltic concrete paving. Coordinate the design and construction of the common drivewav on Lots 9 and 10. Block I with the Meridian Fire Department. See Site Specific Condition #2 below. 2. Existing Structures: There are several buildings within the boundaries of the proposed plat. Some of the buildings span across proposed lot lines and none of the buildings meet the City's established requirements for setbacks, if the subdivision is approved. Most of the structures are accessory to the existing house and cannot be located on their own lot without a primary residence. The applicant is proposing to remove all existing structures currently on this site. Prior to signature of the final plat by the City Engineer, all buildings on Lots I - 5, Block I should be removed, as proposed. See Site Specific Condition #3 below. 3. Public Street Access: As noted in the annexation section of this report, this parcel is reliant upon Redfeather Estates Subdivision No.2 for annexation. This dependence extends also to platting of the parcel. Because public street access is being provided AZ-04-018.PP-<>4-025 Ch",wonh.AZPPDOC 7. 8. Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council August 19,2004 (P&Z Hearing Date) Page 9 through Redfeather Estates Subdivision No.2 (Granger Drive and Tahiti Drive) this parcel will not have access to an improved public street until Granger Drive is constructed. Therefore, the Citv should not sÌ!m the subject final plat until an ACHD approved public street access is provided to this site that outlets to Ustick Road, Ea!!le Road. Fairview Avenue. or Cloverdale Road. See Site Specific Condition #4 below. 4. Final Plat Recordation: If Granger Drive construction takes too long, the preliminary plat approval for this development could expire. MCC 12-2-4.B allows a developer one year between preliminary and final plat submittal. Further, the owner or developer shall have one year to begin construction of the public utilities and one year thereafter to complete construction of those public facilities after approval of a final plat (MCC 12-2-4.C). However, MCC 12-2-4.E allows the City Council to extend the above time limits, upon good cause shown. Due to the above-mentioned circumstances. staff is requestin!! that the Citv Council allow the applicant two vears (rather than one) after preliminary plat approval. to submit a final plat application to the City. See Site Specific Condition #5 below. 5. Pressure Ini!!ation: The City of Meridian requires that pressurized irrigation systems be supplied by a year-round source of water (MCC 12-13-8.3). The applicant shall be required to utilize any existing surface or well water for the primary source. If a surface or well source is not available, a single-point connection to the culinary water system shall be required. If a single-point connection is utilized, the developer shall be responsible for the payment of assessments for the common areas prior to signature on the final plat by the City Engineer. An underground, pressurized irrigation system shall be installed to all landscape areas per the approved specifications and in accordance with MCC 12-13-8 and MCC 9-1-28. See Site Specific Condition #6 below. 6. Ditches, Laterals, and Canals: All irrigation ditches, laterals or canals, exclusive of natural waterways, intersecting, crossing or lying adjacent and contiguous to the area being subdivided shall be tiled per MCC 12-4-13. Plans will need to be approved by the appropriate irrigation/drainage district, or lateral users association (ditch owners), with written approval or non-approval submitted to the Public Works Department. If lateral users association approval cannot be obtained, plans will be reviewed and approved by the City Engineer prior to final plat signature (see Fencing below). See Site Specific Condition #7 below. Landscapin!! & Tree Miti!!ation: There are no required landscape areas with this preliminary plat. However, any tree over 4" in caliper that is removed from the property shall be replaced by installing additional trees, being the equivalent number of caliper inches of trees that were removed. See Site Specific Condition #8 below. Fencing: Noted on the submitted preliminary plat is a fencing note. The applicant is proposing to construct a fence on the north side of the Clover Meadows No.2 irrigation ditch, near the south side of this property. As noted above, all irrigation ditches, laterals or canals must be tiled. The applicant should clarify at the public hearin!! the plan for Win!! the ditch(es) to the south and how fencin!! will be installed adjacent to the south AZ-O4.018,"-<)4-025 Ch.'~rt,^ZPP.DOC 7.

STORM WATER MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that storm water be pre-treated prior to discharge to the subsurface to prevent impact to ground water and surface water quality. The engineers and architects involved with the design of this project should obtain cucrent best management practices for storm water disposal and design a storm water management system that is preventing groundwater and surface water degradation. Manuals that could be used for guidance are: State of Idaho Catalog of Storm water Best Management Practices For Idaho Cities and Counties. Prepared by the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality, July 1997. Storm water Best Management Practices Guidebook. Prepared by City of Boise Public Works Department, May 2000.

The high schools, middle schools, and elementary schools throughout the district are operating over capacity. Approval of Red feather Village Subdivision will have a significant impact on school enrollments at Ustick Elementary. Lewis & Clark Middle. and Mountain View High School. We can predict that these homes, when completed, will house eight (8) elementary aged children, seven (7) middle school aged children, and five (5) senior high aged students. Additional students will further compound the current overcrowded situation. Residents cannot be assured of attending the neighborhood school, as it may be necessary to bus students to other schools across the district. School capacity is addressed in Idaho Code 67-6508. The Meridian School District is currently operating beyond capacity. Future development will continue to have an impact on the district's capacity. If you have any questions, please contact me at 855-4500. Sincerely, ~~ Wendel Bigham Supervisor of Facilities and Construction PO BOX 757 PHONE. 344-247 ] BOISE.
