Thanks Kathi 208-859-7706 Mr. Joshua Beach Associate City Planner, Current Planning Group 33. E. Broadway Ave. Suite 102 Meridian, Idaho 83642 Re: East Ridge Village Homes Development Dear Josh, Over the last several months, Mr. Conger has been working with neighboring homeowners and the Meridian Southern Rim Coalition in an effort to develop a plan that can be supported by everyone. My husband, Don, and I have appreciated Mr. Conger's efforts to understand our concerns and integrate some of our feedback into his revised plan for East Ridge. Mr. Conger has outlined his plan in the attached letter to the Coalition dated August 10, 2017 detailing many of the elements of his plan that are central to our support: • Single -story homes in the northwest corner of the development with 25 -foot height restriction • Single -story homes along the west boundary in the Village area with 25 -foot height restriction • Location of the park on the corner of Cyanate and the road within East Ridge (road name TBA) • Landscaping and berm plan along Lake Hazel • Larger lot sizes along the north and east boundaries of the development • Wrought iron fencing on the perimeter of the development • Age restriction of the Village area and 25 -foot height restriction on homes in the Village area • Builder group for the Village area will be Tahoe Homes We would very much like to stand in support of Mr. Conger's plan when presented before the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council. However, we want to be clear that our support is contingent upon the inclusion of the aforementioned elements in the final plan submitted for approval and in a signed development agreement. Can you please confirm whether Staff will recommend Mr. Conger's plan without material modifications to the key elements listed above? Best regards, Kathi Baumgartner 2310 E. Lake Hazel Road Meridian, ID 83642 208-859-7706 cc: Mr. Jim Conger, DevCo Real Estate Development attachments: 2 August 10, 2017 Meridian Southern Rim Coalition 5556 S Graphite Way Meridian, ID 8342 RE: East Ridge Estates Dear Coalition Members: Based on our meetings and input from Meridian Southern Rim Coalition and neighbors, it is the intention to proceed with submitting a revised plat for the East Ridge Estates community. The preferred plat will consist of two product types; the Estate Home -sites on the Rim that will consist of 17,000 to 37,000 square feet transitional home -site. The Village will be an Age Restricted Neighborhood for the mature homeowner, the Village homes are structured as a maintenance free which is inclusive of all maintenance and is managed by the home owner's association. The traffic generated from the Village is less than 60% of a typical single-family home. In order to submit this revised plat in lieu of a R-4 plat, we discussed the support of the Meridian Southern Rim Coalition and various individuals involved throughout the planning process. Therefore, we have addressed a majority of the Coalition's concerns and we request your concurrence of our Estate and Village plan for submission to the City of Meridian. What we are proposing to commit to would be as follows and these requirements would be recorded in the City — Conditions of Approvals and the Development Agreement. Entire Development: • Adhere with the Site Plan dated August 8, 2017 • The Development Agreement will restrict the total number of residential homes to 98 lots for the Village housing and 41 homes for the Estate Lots. • Zoning will be R — 4 for the Estate Lots and R — 15 for the Village housing. • Lake Hazel landscape to incorporate a 4 to 6 -foot -tall berms. A majority (80%) of the berm will be the requested 6 foot tall. • Phase 1 will include the connection to Lake Hazel Road as required by City Council. • Construction access will be from Lake Hazel Road. • The neighborhood park will consist of a tot lot facility and the park was relocated per the direction of the coalition and neighbors. • Domestic Water will be looped to E. Cyanite Drive which will improve current domestic water quality for existing homeowners on City Services. 4824 W. Fairview Ave., Boise Office 280.336.5355 • Fax 208.336.2282 /// DEVCO, 08.10.2016 Page 2 Village Product Area: • Wrought Iron Fencing on the property line boundary with adjacent neighbor (our west boundary). • A I' to 2' berm for planting on our west boundary. A 3' berm can be achieved if the berm is located on the property/boundary line between our property and the western neighbor. • A deciduous tree with a caliper size between 2 to 2.5 inches every 60 feet / an evergreen (blue spruce) tree sized between 8 to 10 feet approximately every 60' (i.e. a tree every 30 feet) with a maximum growth height of 15 to 20 feet. • A grouping of 3 shrubs between every tree. • All product in the Village area is to be single level with a maximum roof height of 25 feet. • All product in the Village area is to be age restricted. • Setback of housing product to be 20' from western property line. 6 Estate Lots (Lot Nos. 23 — 28): • Wrought Iron Fencing on the property line boundary with adjacent neighbor (our west boundary). • A deciduous tree with a caliper size between 2 to 2.5 inches every 60 feet / an evergreen (blue spruce) tree sized between 8 to 10 feet approximately every 60' (i.e. a tree every 30 feet). • A grouping of 3 shrubs between every tree. • Set back of housing product to be 10' from western property line. • All 6 lots to be single level (This will require the Baumgartner Property to deed restrict 100' of their adjacent property to single level) with a maximum roof height of 25 feet. • Rear Setbacks for Lots Nos. 23, 24 & 25 shall be 45 feet. • Side yard setbacks to be R-4. Rim Estate Lots (Lots Nos. 5 — 22): • Adhere with the Site Plan dated August 8, 2017 which will include specified lot widths. • Rear Setbacks for Lot Nos. 5 — 22 shall be 45 feet. • Site yard setbacks shall be 7.5 feet for homes on the Rim. We continue to appreciate the willingness to participate and the productive meetings that we have had with the coalition group and the neighbors. Our first choice would be to move forward with the plan as noted above with neighborhood support. As discussed, our goal is to garner as much support as possible for the Estate / Village Plan.
