Facts and Findings:
The Ada County Highway District (ACHD) staff has received the above referenced application
requesting rezone approval to rezone 5.81-acres fxom RUT to R-40. Applicant is also requesting
preliminary plat and conditional use approval to plat a 24-1ot multi family subdivision consisting
of 22-four-plex units. The 5.81-acre site is located on the south side of Wilson Lane
approximately ¼ of a mile east of Locust Grove Road. This development is estimated to
generate 1538 additional vehicle trips per day (0 existing) based on the Institute of
Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual.
The application and site plan stamped and received by the City of Meridian on January 11, 2002,
and submitted to the District on January 17, 2002, has been reviewed by the ACI-ID Planning and
Development staff and conforms to applicable District standards/policy, or can be made to
conform with the change(S) to the plan described in the requirements stated below.
This is a staff level approval and will not be heard by the ACHD Commission unless the site plan
is changed in such a manner as to not conform to District standards/policy or an appeal of the
Planning and Development staff decision is submitted as described within the Standard
Requirements outlined below.
On January 21,. 2002, the District Planning and Development staff inspected this site and
evaluated the transportation system in the vicinity. On January 25, 2002, the staffmet as the
District's Technical Review Committee and reviewed the impacts of this proposed development
on the District's transportation system. The results of that analysis constitute the following Facts
and Findings and recommended Site Specific Requirements.

For the purposes of estimating daily trip generation and assessing impact fees for this project, the
proposed use of this development has been classified as Apartment. (Per the ITE Manual) The
impact fee rate f~om the fee tables for this use is $781 per unit, based on the impact fee ordinance
in effect at this time. Note: This rate is provided for informational purposes only and shall
not be construed as an impact fee rate certification. The impact fee will be assessed at the
time of plans acceptance by District staff, and shall be based on the fee tables and
provisions of the District's Impact Fee Ordinance in effect at that time.
Development patterns in the surrounding area are mixed residential and commercial. To the
north and west of the site is commercial. To the south and east of the site is residential Based
on development patterns in this area and the resulting traffic generation, staff anticipates that the
transportation system will be adequate to accommodate additional traffic generated by this
proposed development at accepted levels of service with out modification to Wilson Street. The
additional traffic generated by this development will have minimal de.mental impact on the
transportation system.

Dear Mr. Semple:
Enclosed please find a Land Use Change Application for your use to file with the Irrigation
District for its review on the above-referenced development. If this development is under a
"rush" to be finalized, I would recommend that you submit a cashier's check, money order or
cash as payment of the fees in order to speed the process up. If you submit a company or
personal check, it must clear the bank before processing the application.
Should this development be planning a pressure urban irrigation system that will be owned,
operated and maintained by the Irrigation District, I strongly urge you to coordinate with John P.
Anderson, Water Superintendent for the Irrigation District, concerning the installation of the
pressure system. Enclosed is a questionnaire that you must fill out and return in order to initiate
the process of contractual agreements between the owner or developer and the Irrigation
District for the ownership, operation and maintenance of the pressure urban irrigation system.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please feel free to call on me at the District's
office, or John P. Anderson, at the District's shop.

Dear Planners:
The Meridian School District has experienced phenomenal student growth the last ten years. The
high schools, middle schools, and elementary schools throughout the district are operating over
capacity.
Approval of Cooper Canyon Subdivision will have a significant impact on school enrollments at
River Valley Elementary, Lewis & Clark Middle, and Meridian Hieh School.
We can predict that these homes, when completed, will house twenty-two (22) elementary
aged children, twenty-seven (27) middle school aged children, and twenty (20) 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
cmxently 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 888-6701.
Sincerely,
Wendel Bigham

STORM WATER MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that storm water be pre-treated through a grassy swale
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 current 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 Stormwater Best Management Practices For
Idaho Cities and Counties.
