To:
From:
Final Plat approval of Eighty-Six (86) Single-Family Residential Building Lots
and Four (4) Common Lots on 30.64 Acres in an R-4 Zone, by Tuscany
Development, Inc. (File No. FP-04-035).
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:
APPLICATION SUMMARY & LOCATION
The applicant, Tuscany Development, Inc., has applied for final plat approval of Messina Hills
Subdivision No.2 consisting of 86 single-family residential building lots and 4 common lots on
30.64 acres of land. The zoning designation for the proposed subdivision is R-4 (Low Density
Residential). This subdivision will have a gross density of2.8 d.u.lacre and a net density 00.5
d.u.lacre.
The proposed Messina Hills Subdivision No.2 is located midway between S. Locust Grove
Road and S. Eagle Road, approximately % mile south of E. Victory Road in the south Yz ofthe
north Yz of Section 29, T.3N., R.1E.
The original final plat for Messina Hills Subdivision No.2 was approved by City Council on
November 18, 2003 but was never recorded. The previously approved plat consisted of 100
single-family building lots and 5 common lots on 36.66 acres and was located on both sides of
the Ridenbaugh Canal. The current submittal does not include the land located on the west side
of the canal but does include land east of the canal that was not shown on the original phase 2.
The applicant states that the reason for re-submittal is that during the construction plan approval

process they were delayed in their plan approval with Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District
because of some ditch issues on the west side of the previously approved plat; therefore, they
would like to speed up the process by platting the west side of the canal at a later date.
The four common lots within the subdivision consist oflandscape, homeowner pedestrian
access, and recreational lots which will be owned and maintained by the Messina Hills
Homeowners Association. The pressurized irrigation system within this development will be
owned and maintained by the Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District.
A Conditional Use Permit (Planned Development) was approved for this subdivision. The only
reduction to the ordinance that was approved with the Planned Development that applies to this
phase is reduced lot ITontages. A specific minimum ITontage was not identified in the CUP;
however, all lots within the subdivision meet or exceed the minimum lot square footage
requirements of 8,000 square feet.
The submitted fmal plat substantially complies with the approved preliminary plat. A few of the
lots in Block I bordering the canal were re-configured; however, the number of building lots
stayed the same and common open space increased. Staff has no objection to these changes.
Staff recommends approval of the fmal plat for Messina Hills Subdivision No.2 with the
comments and conditions stated in this report.
