AMENDED PRELIMINARY PLAT SITE SPECIFIC COMMENTS
PP-01-025
AZ-0t-027
A Variance application accompanied the Preliminary PL~ application for excessive block
lengths of White Sands and Great Basin Drives. Additionally, there are three (3) other blocks
which exceed the 1,000-foot maximum length - Blocks 5, 10 and 14. Staff has consistently
stated that we do not support miempaths in lieu of vehicular connections to break-up block
lengths. Staff does not recommend approval of Variance applications for block lengths except
where clear Variance findings can be met and/or existing adjacent development forces the
excessive length. Baldwin Park subdivision does not have pre-existing limitations and,
conversely, will be establishing thc pattern of connectivity for more than 300 acres of adjacent
undeveloped land since it is the first significant development in Section 36 (4N, 1W).

Therefore, in order to avoid the need for the Variance applications and to provide adequate
connectivity both within and outside the subdivision, Staffrecommends the following:
· Provide the three (3) new boundary stub streets mentioned above, as required by
ACI-ID;
· Provide a pedestrian connection between W. Yosemite Drive on the west side of Lot
12, Block 14 and W. Yosemite Drive onthe east side of Lot 12, Block 14;
, Provide a vehicular connection hetween either W. Cresent Street on the west side of
Lot 17, Block 10 and W. Cresent Street on the east side of Lot 17, Block 10 OR
between N. Buekatone Place and W. Great Basin Drive to break-up Block 10;
· Provide a third stub street to the north property line somewhere between Lot 29,
Block 5 and Lot 49, Block 5. There is an existing landlocked parcel abutting Baldwin
Park in this location that should be provided a future access point. The length of
Block 7 along the north boundary is approximately 1,150 feet between N.
Clearbrook Ave and N. Buekatone Ave. and must be shortened to meet
ordinance.

These conditions shall be considered in full, unless expressly modified or deleted by motion of the
Meridian City Council:
APPLICATIONS SUMMARY
The applicant, Capital Development Corporation, is proposing to annex and subdivide an
undeveloped, 77.9-acre parcel of land on the east side ofN. Linder Road, immediately north of a
future Meridian middle school site. The applicant is proposing an R-8 zone with a net density of 4.05
d.u./acre (3.49 gross density). The proposed subdivision meets all minimum dimensional standards of
the R-8 zone with the exception of block length, A separate Variance application has been submitted
to City Council for W. White Sands and W. Great Basin (Block 8), whose lengths exceed 1,000 feet.
The parcel's south boundary is equivalent to the mid-section line of T4N, R1 W, Section 36 and the
White Drain also courses its southern boundary.
Staff is recommending the P&Z Commission continue both public hearings so Staff has the
opportunity to review a revised Preliminary Plat which addresses our recommendations below.
LOCATION & SURROUNDING USES
The subject property is located on the east side ofN. Linder Road, between McMillan and Ustick
Roads. The parcel's north boundary is approximately IA mile south of McMillan and its south
boundary lies on the half mile line. The property is surrounded on all four sides by land still within
Ada County's jurisdiction.
The following uses surround the subject property:

North - Rural residential and agricultural uses, zoned RUT (County).
South - Agricultural uses, zoned RUT (County); 40-acre parcel with Linder Road frontage is
owned by the Joint School District No. 2 and designated as a future middle school.
East - Rural residential and agricultural uses, zoned RUT (County); proposed Cedar Springs
Subdivision is contiguous to the southeast.
West -Rural residential and agricultural uses, zoned RUT (County); future office uses within
Bridgetower Subdivision are contiguous to the northwest across N. Linder Road.
OWNER OF RECORD
The property owners of record are J. Ramon Yorgason and Marilyn Yorgason and they have
provided notarized consent for submission of these applications.
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'
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;
Staff finds that the Comprehensive Plan's Generali?ed Land Use Map designates the
subject property as "Single Family Residential"; therefore, the requested zoning
designation, R-8, is harmonious with adopted Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map.
The R-8 is also in conformance with the draft Comprehensive Plan Land use Map
recommended for approval by the P&Z Commission, which shows this area as
Medium Density Residential.
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;
The recent annexation and PUD approval of Bridgetower Subdivision, contiguous to
Baldwin Park across Linder Road, will create more urban uses in this area upon build-
out. Bridgetower was rezoned to R-4. The subject property also lies within the service
area of the White Drain trunk, which is scheduled for completion sometime this
summer, The City Council has slated this area as a priority growth area. There have
AZ4}1-027 Baldwin Park.do~
PP-01-025
Mayor, Council and Planning & Zoning
January 4, 2002
Page 3
been no recent street widenings and none are scheduled in ACHD's Five Year Work
Program.
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;
Based upon the existing and proposed Comprehensive Plans, the ktended character of
this area is primarily urban residential, along with urban amenities such as the middle
school, sidewalks and neighborhood office services. The existing character of this area
is rural residential and agricultural. The nearest existing urban residential uses are
approximately a halCmile away. The subdivision will need to provide fencing adjacent
to any existing agricultural uses. The increase in vehicular resident and construction
traffic expected with subdivisions will impact the immediate area~ Staff; therefore,
finds that the requested uses would generally be harmonious with the existing and
intended character of the general vicinity, so long as appropriate mitigation measures
are followed to limit impacts on adjacent agricultural and rural residential uses.
Will the proposed uses not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future
neighboring uses;
The Commission and Council shall rely on public testimony to determine whether the
proposed uses will be disturbing or hazardous to the neighboring residential uses.
Staff finds that requested uses will not be hazardous to the existing or future
neighboring uses.
Will the area be served adequately by essential public facilities and services such
as highways, streets, police and fire 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;
This property lies within the North Meridian Area Plan (NMAP) currently being
facilitated by Wardle & Associates. One of the instigating factors for the NMAP was
coordination of adequate services. Staff finds that roadway improvements will be
required to handle the additional traffic generated by this development. ACHD and
the Applicant are working together to determine the extent of the required
improvements. All other public services and facilities appear to be adequate to service
this property.

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 this development will not cause excessive additional requirements at
public cost. We also find that the annexation and zoning alone will not be detrimental
to the comm~mity's economic welfare.
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 none of the proposed uses for Baldwin Park will involve uses,
activities, processes, materials, equipment or conditions that will be detrimental to the
general welfare of persons or property in the area.
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;
The Applicant's traffic impact study finds that the proposed subdivision will generate
an estimated 2,600 additional vehicle trips per day (0 exist'nag). The initial phases of
Baldwin Park, until adjacent properties are developed, will take 100% of ingress and
egress trips off W. Monument Drive - the only direct access to N. Linder Road.
ACHD is requiring the applicant to construct a left mm lane in Linder and Monument
Drive will be designed as a collector. Both of these improvements should improve
vehicular approaches and lessen the impact of the level and flow of traffic on the
surrounding streets. Staff finds that there will be an impact on existing Linder Road
traffic and also the project will contribute to future improvements (e.g. sidewalk, turn
lane, impact fees, etc.).
Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic feature of
major importance; and
As long as the White Drain is adequately protected, Staff finds that no natural or
scenic features of major importance will be lost or damaged by approving the
annexation and re-zone.
Is the proposed zoning amendment in the best interest of the City of Meridian.

Staffrecommends the P&/Z Commission and Council, based upon public testimony
and other information presented to the record, determine if the annexation and
proposed R-8 zone are in the City's best interest. The proposed annexation meets the
majority of the above findings and complies with the adopted and proposed
Comprehensive Plans.
ANNEXATION AND ZONING COMMENTS
1. 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
2. The requested zoning of R-8 is compat~le with the City Comprehensive Plan.
3. The subject property is within the Urban Service Planning Area. The applicant willbe mspons~le
for designing and installing a new 12,inch diameter water main in Linder Road, from its current
location at the intersection with Ustick Road. Sewer service for this development will be
provided by the White Drain Trunk. The City of Meridian is in the design phase of this think,
with commencement of construction estimated at April of this year. The applicant shall he
responsible to provide main connections to the White drain Trunk to serve this development.
4. A Development Agreement shall be entered into between the City of Meridian and the
Applicant as part of the Annexation application. The Development Agreement shall
outline any phasing requirements and special conditions placed upon the Preliminary
Plat application.
PRELIMINARY PLAT FINDINGS AND REQUIREMENTS
Meridian City Code (MCC) 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: (MCC in bold, staff analysis in regular font)
a. The conformance of the subdivision with the Comprehensive Development Plan;
Staff finds the subdivision is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan.
b. The availability of public services to accommodate the proposed development;
Upon extension of the White Drain trunk line later in 2002, Staff finds that public services will
he available to the lots within the proposed subdivision.
The Fire Department has submitted written comments concerning the need for a secondary
access to the neighborhood at the northwest comer of the subdivision. The Ada County
AZ-01-027 Baldwin Park.doc
PP-01-025
Mayor, Council and Planning & Zoning
January 4, 2002
Page 6
Highway District is requiting the applicant to add a stub street to the north and two (2) stub
streets to the south. If the applicant modifies the plat as such, the Fire Department's access
concerns should be adequately addressed.
Final planning and preparation work on the City's 58-acre regional park is underway. Upon
completion of the park, adequate park facilities would be available to serve future residents of
this subdivision.
c. The continuity of the proposed development with the capital improvement
program;
Staff finds that the subdivision will not require the expenditure of capital improvement funds
and it is within the priority g~owth area of the White Drain extension.
d. The public financial capability of supporting services for the proposed
development;
Staff finds that the development will not require major expenditures for supporting services.
e. The other health, safety or environmental problems that may be brought to the
Commission's attention.
As noted above, the Meridian Fire Department is concerned with the current lack of a second
vehicular access into the northwest pod. This is a potential safety concern. Also, the Applicant
is proposing to leave the White Drain open and not pipe this drainage facility. This is also a
potential safety concern, especially at the west end adjacent to the future middle school.
PRELIMINARY PLAT SITE SPECIFIC COMMENTS
Sanitary sewer service to this site shall be via t_he proposed White Drain Trunk. The
City of Meridian is in the design phase of this trunk, with commencement of construction
estimated at April of this year. The applicant shall be respons~le to provide main coanections
to the White drain Trunk to serve this development. Applicant will be responsible to
construct the sewer mains to and through this proposed development. Subdivision
designer to coordinate main sizing and fouling with the Public Works Department.
Sewer manholes are to be provided to keep the sewer lines on the south and west
sides of centerline
The applicant will be responsible for designing and installing a new 12-inch diameter water
main in Linder Road, fi:om its current location at the intersection with Ustick Road.
Applicant will be responsible to construct the water mains to and through this proposed

development. Subdivision designer to coordinate main sizhag and routing with the Public
Works Department.
The Baldwin Park traffic study references a phasing plan that estimates build-out by 2005.
However, no phasing lines are shown on the face of the plat. Applicant shall add phasing lines
and submit a revised Preliminary Plat at least ten (10) days prior to the next P&Z hearing.
4:
ACHI)'s draft report requires the Applicant to provide one ( 1 ) additional stub street to the
north and two additional stubs to the south. Staff supports this recommendation. The Fire
Department also supports an additional stub street to the north that will serve the northwest
area of Blocks 5 and 6. The Applicant shall state the locations of these three (3) new stub
streets at the P&Z Commission hearing for discussion and shall submit a revised Preliminary
Plat reflecting these new stub streets at least ten (10) days prior to the next P&Z hearing.
While no written comment has been received, Staffunderstands the Joint School District No.
2 is opposed to a stub street into the future middle school site to the south. The Applicant
shall work with the Police and Fire Departments to det~J ,,ine emergency vehicle access needs
to the middle school fi.om the north. If the Police and Fire Departments concur that no
vehicular access from the north is necessary, Applicant shall provide a pedestrian/bicycle
connection across the White Drain to access the school so future Baldwin Park students are
not forced onto Linder Road.
A Variance application accompanied the Preliminary Plat application for excessive block
lengths of White Sends and Great Basin Drives. Additionally, there are three (3) other blocks
which exceed the 1,000-foot maximum length - Blocks 5, 10 and 14. Staffhas consistemly
stated that we do not support micropaths in lieu of vehicular connections to hreak-up block
lengths. Staff does not recommend approval of Variance applications for block lengths except
where clear Variance findings can be met and/or existing adjacem development forces the
excessive length. Baldwin Park subdivision does not have pre-existing limitations and,
conversely, will be establishing the pattern o f connectivity for more than 300 acres o fadjacent
undeveloped land since it is the first significant development in Section 36 (4N, 1W).
Therefore, in order to avoid the need for the Variance applications and to provide adequate
connectivity both within and outside the subdivision, Staff recommends the following:
· Provide the three (3) new boundary stub streets memioned above, as required by
ACHD;
· Provide a connection between W. Yosemite Drive on the west side of Lot 12, Block
14 and W. Yosemite Drive onthe east side of Lot 12, Block 14;
· Provide a connection between W. Cresent Street on the west side of Lot 17, Block 10
and W. Cresent Street onthe east side of Lot 17, Block 10;
AZ-01-027 Bakh~/n Park.doc
PP-01-025
Mayor, Council and Planrfing & Zoning
January 4, 2002
Page 8
Provide a third stub street to the north property line somewhere between Lot 29,
Block 5 and Lot 49, Block 5. There is an existing landlocked parcel abutting Baldwin
Park in this location that should be provided a future access point.
Applicant shall submit a Typical Street Section drawing o fthe Collector-designated portion of
W. Monument Drive. The plat shows the right-of-way width at 62 feet, but no details of how
this section will be constructed are provided. Staff recommends detached sidewalks be
provided on both sides of W. Monument Drive between Linder Road and McKinley Park
Ave. Submit the cross-section at least 10 days prior to the City Council hearing.
The Preliminary Plat shows the subdivision boundary line around the 2.4-acre out-parcel at
the southwest comer of the subdivision. However, this parcel is excluded from the annexation
legal description and not a part of the subject plat. Applicant shall submit a revised
Preliminary Plat showing a correct boundary line in this location.
The preliminary landscape plan (Sheet L-l, dated 3/21/01 by Land Group, Inc.) proposes a
number o f trees that exceeds the minimum requirements o f Ordinance 12-13- 7, Street Buffers,
and Ordinance 12-13-13, Open Space. However, there are an insufficient number of trees
shown within the micropath lots. Ordinance 12-13-12.4, Micropath Landscaping, requires a
minimum of one (1) deciduous tree per thirty-five (35) linear feet of path. Additional trees
shall be added to the micropath lots to meet this ordinance at the time of Final Plat
application. Applicant shall ensure that all trees are located outside of any sanitary sewer or
irrigation easements. All subdivision perimeter landscaping shall be installed or 110% surety
amount and bids submitted for required landscaping prior to City signature of the Final Plat.
All other landscaping shall be installed prior to issuance of Certificates of Occupancy.
A detailed landscape plan and an irrigation plan, including performance specifications, shall
be submitted with each Final Plat application.
10.
No fencing details were submitted with the application. Permanent fencing shall be required
adjacent to any existing agricultural uses. Applicant shall submit detailed fencing plans with
the Final Plat application, including height, construction materials and location, and shall
discuss conceptual fencing plans at the P&Z Commission hearing. In lieu of permanent
fencing, temporary construction fencing must be installed during construction on any lot to
contain construction debris. All subdivision perimeter fencing shall be installed or 110%
surety amount and bids submitted for required landscaping prior to City signature of the Final
Plat.
11.
Item #8 on the Preliminary Plat application states micropaths will be provided. In order for
the linear open space lots to count toward the minimum 5% requirement, Staffrecommends
micropaths must be constructed as a requirement of the subdivision. Said pathways shall be a
minimum of 5-feet wide and constructed of either asphalt or concrete. Applicant shall comply
AZ-OI-027 Baldwin Park.doc
PP-Ol-025
Mayor, Council and Planning & Zoning
January 4, 2002
Page 9
with all requirements of Ordinance 12-13-12, Micro path Landscaping, and the four (4) foot
high fence restrictions for all lots adjacent to the micropaths shall be noted on all Final Plats
that include micropaths. The developer is responsible for the construction of fences adjacent
to all mieropaths and they shall be installed or 110% surety amount and bids submitted prior
to City signature of the Final Plat.
12.
Applicant shall submit a cross-section of the micropath lots located within drainage swales
and a cross-section of the micropath adjacent to the White Drain. All micropath lots show a
combination micropath/swale use except four (4) of the shorter pathway lots. The cross-
sections must demonstrate that all requirements of Ordinance 12-13-12, Micropath
Landscaping, and all public safety concerns are adequately addressed through the conceptual
design.
13.
Any tree over 4" in caliper that is removed fi.om the property shall be replaced by installing
additional trees, being the equivalent number of caliper inches of trees that were removed.
14.
Lots 5 and 6, Block 6 do not meet the minimum 6,500 sq. foot lot size required in the R-8
zone. Applicant shall submit a revised Preliminary Plat showing lots that meet the minimum
lot size.
15.
Storm water treatment and disposal must be designed in accordance with Department of
Environmental Quality 1997 publication, "Catalog of Storm Water Best Management
Practices for Idaho Cities and Counties" and City of Meridian standards and policies. Off-site
disposal into surface water is prohibited unless the jurisdiction which has authority over the
receiving stream provides written authorization prior to development plan approval. The
applicant is responsible for filing all necessary applications with the Idaho Department of
Water Resources regarding Shallow Injection Wells on the final plat.
16.
Indicate any existing ditch easements on the Pre 'luninary Plat map. The boundaries
of the White Drain easement need to be defined, as well as the north-south ditch
along the eastern end of the development and the east-west ditch along the
northwest corner of the development. Please show all planned piping on the
Preliminary Plat. Submit a revised Preliminary Plat at least 10 days prior to the City
Council hearing.
17.
Applicant should revise the Preliminary Plat to reflect the correct spelling of "Crescent" on
the three (3) streets with this name (rather than "Cresent" as currently shown).
18.
The open detention ponds shown on the drainage plan show that a significant
portion of the area proposed as common open area is now proposed for drainage
detention. Detailed plans of these ponds will need to be reviewed to determine if
these areas are indeed usable as common area by all residents of the development.

Page 10
Detention ponds shall be designed such that accumulated water is disposed of
within a 24-hour period. The City has been experiencing problems with
groundwater in drainage areas, particularly those without an outflow to an existing
drainage system.
19.
Applicant has not indicated whether the pressurized irrigation system within this
development is to be owned and maintained by the homeowners association or the
Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District. If the system is being proposed as a private
system (H.O.A.), plans and specifications for the irrigation system shall be reviewed
. by the Public Works Department as part of the development plan review process.
A draft copy of the pressurized irrigation system O&M manual must be submitted
prior to plan approval. The City of Meridian requires that pressurized irrigation
systems be supplied by a year-round source of water. If a creek or well source is not
available, a single-point connection to the c~llrlal'y water system shall be required.
If a single-point connection is u~illzed, the developer shall be responsible for the
payment of assessments for the common areas prior to signature on the final plat by
the Meridian City Engineer. If City water is proposed as a secondary source,
developer shall be responsible to pay water assessments for the entire common
open area.
20.
Ordinance 12-4-13, Piping of Ditches, requires all irrigation ditches, laterals or
canals, exclusive of natural waterways, to be covered and enclosed with tiling or
other covering. Applicant is proposing to leave the White Drain open. A formal
waiver request was not included with the application. If the Applicant proposes to
not pipe the drain, he shall submit a written request stating how any public safety
concerns will be addressed through fencing and/or other protective measures and
the estimated pipe diameter required to pipe the drain. Staff recommends the P&Z
Commission review such a waiver request and make a recommendation to the City
Council.
