Borup: Okay. We'd like to reconvene our Planning and Zoning meeting. Before we do, I
would like to mention - and I apologize for not mentioning earlier. Item No.7 for
Sommersby Subdivision, the applicant has asked - they would like to spend some time
revising their site plan and they are requesting this be continued to a later date. They
are asking for November 18th. We didn't decide if that works for our schedule. And do
you have the - I did not -- yes. For Sommersby Subdivision is what we are discussing.
Maybe input from the staff. I don't - I don't remember that we have a lot of items on that
meeting. So, are we assuming the agenda is open to the extent for that?
Hawkins-Clark: Chairman Borup, we were talking. I guess we don't have the agenda for
the 18th here right now.

Borup: Right. I'm just remembering -
Hawkins-Clark: But I think - you know, ifs a - I think a fairly standard agenda for the
Commission, so -
Borup: Commissioner Zaremba usually knows how many there are.
Zaremba: The thickness of my stack for the 18th is about the same as the thickness of
my stack for the 2nd, so those two meetings would be equivalent as far as I'm
concerned.
Borup: Yeah. But I don't remember being -- that meeting. And the only reason I'm taking
the time now is just so those that would like to leave - unless we find out something
different, it probably will be continued to the 18th. Unless we want to move that up on
the agenda and handle that right now.
Rohm: Lefs do that.
Borup: Okay.
Zaremba: Since we are talking about it. Mr. Chairman?
Borup: Yes. Items No.7 and 8.
Zaremba: Since we have not opened the Public Hearing, would we just table it or should
we open it and continue it?
Borup: We probably ought to continue it. Open it and continue it is what we have
normally done.
Zaremba: Okay.
Borup: So, I'd like to open Public Hearing CUP 04-040 and Public Hearing CUP 04-041.
Oops. I did that wrong.
Zaremba: Back up one, sir.

the applicant, is that enough time for the applicant to make the revisions and the
revisions to get around to all the departments that need to see them?
Hawkins-Clark: We have had conversations. As you know, we asked for about ten
changes to their plan and they told us that they thought they could get the revised plan
into us, you know, in a few days. That would give us, you know, about ten days. So, I
think we are comfortable with that.

conditions of approvaL These conditions shall be considered in full, unless expressly modified or
. deleted by motion of the Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission or City Council:
APPLICATIONS SUMMARY
The Applicant, Confluence Management, LLC, has requested Preliminary Plat (PP) and Conditional
Use Permit (CUP) approval for a Planned Development (PD) on 12.731 acres of land located at the
northeast comer ofN. Ten Mile and W. Pine Street. The property address is 890 N. Ten Mile Road and
is designated "Mixed Use-Neighborhood" on the 2002 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map.
There is a single family residence and other outbuildings on the property. The property was annexed
and zoned to the existing Limited Office (L-O) and R-15 zones in November 2000 under the project
name "Valeri Heights." That project was approved for 128 apartment units, 8 townhomes and 26,000
square feet of office space. However, none of the project was ever constructed. The Sommersby
project proposes 132 apartment units (in both 4-plex and 8-plex construction), 9 attached single family
units and 21,000 sq. ft. of office space (5,000 sq. ft. less than currently approved under Valeri Heights).
The Preliminary Plat proposes to subdivide the existing parcel into 8 office lots (min. lot size of 5,670
sq. ft.), 33 multi-family residential lots, 12 garage lots and 6 other/common lot. Two of the common
lots (Lot 51 and 54) are designated as active open space. Lot 27 of the plat is proposed as a private,

ingress/egress driveway for the office and multi-family portion. Vehicular access for the single family
attached lots is proposed by extending two public streets from Thunder Creek Subdivision (N.
Lightning PI. and N. Gray Cloud Way). The gross density of the residential portion of the development
is 12.87 du/acre (net density is 14.33).
The CUPIPD application proposes 23 four-plex buildings (92 dwelling units), 4 eight-plex buildings
(32 units), 2 townhomes (7 units) and a single family attached building (2 units). The CUP/PO includes
a request for reductions to the minimum lot size, minimum lot frontages, setbacks and increased lot
coverages. However, the application provides no details on the specific dimensions/reductions
proposed. As noted below under CUPIPD conditions, staff is requesting the applicant provide this
infonnation for the public record.
For the required PD amenities, the applicant is proposing to construct playground equipment, two
water features, an activity court, two gazebos and a hardscape plaza (near the office buildings). The
total area of the two main amenity lots (Lots 51 and 54) is 27,290 sq. ft., or approx. 5.7% of the gross
area. (See Special Considerations under Conditional Use Pennit Analysis below for detailed analysis
of the proposed amenities and open space requirements.)
In addition to the preliminary plat and CUPIPD applications, the applicant also submitted a
Miscellaneous Application (MI-04-011) which proposes to amend/replace the recorded Development
Agreement (DA) for the fonner Valeri Heights Subdivision. This application only requires a meeting
before the City Council and is being held until the subject applications are forwarded to council with a
recommendation from the P&Z Commission.
The ACHD Commission approved the subject applications at their October 27, 2004 meeting. Their
staff report notes that Sommersby Subdivision will generate 1,171 vehicle trips per day (100 AM peak
trips and 113 PM peak hour trips). Left turn lanes for the site entrances are warranted at both the Ten
Mile and Pine Avenue approaches. The staff report also states that Ten Mile Road, from Franklin to
Cherry Lane, including signalization and widening of the Ten MilelPine Ave. intersection, is scheduled
for construction in 2007.
Staff has provided a detailed analysis and recommended conditions of approval for the requested
preliminary plat and conditional use pennit applications below. While we are recommending approval
of the PP and CUPIPD applications (with the conditions), we are also recommending several
modifications to the proposed layout and building designs.
PROPERTY OWNER OF RECORD
David and Shirley Fuller are the current property owners. They have submitted notarized consent for
Confluence Management, LLC to submit the subject applications. Confluence Management is
represented by Engineering Solutions, LLP.
LOCATION
The subject property is located on the northeast corner ofN. Ten Mile Road and W. Pine Street, within
Section 11, Township 3 North, Range 1 West.

a 12.7-acre,
PRELIMINARY PLAT ANALYSIS
Sections 12-3-3.J.2 and 12-3-5.D of Meridian City Code 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;
This site is currently designated as "Mixed Use-Community" on the 2002 Comprehensive Plan
Future Land Use Map and is zoned L-O and R-15. According to the Plan's narrative in Chapter
VI! (pg. 97), this designation "will provide for a combination of compatible land uses that are
typically developed under a master or conceptual plan. The purpose of this designation is to
identify key areas which are either infill in nature or situated in highly visible or transitioning
areas of the city where innovative and flexible design opportunities are encouraged." Staff finds
that the lot configuration and overall design of the subdivision would be in general
conformance with this purpose. The subdivision creates a mix of office, multi-family and single
family residential lots - which meets the intent of the Future Land Use Map designation. The
MU-C designation allows for residential densities up to 15 units/acre, which the proposed plat
meets (14.33, net).
B.
The availability of public services to accommodate the proposed development;
If approved, the developer will be fmancing the extension of sewer, water, utilities and
irrigation services needed to serve the project. The primary public costs to serve the future
residents will be fire, police and road/transportation services. Generally, staff finds that
public services are and/or can be made available to accommodate the proposed development.
The Commission and Council should reference any other written and/or oral testimony
submitted by ACHD and the Meridian Police and Fire Departments regarding their ability to
adequately service this project.
c.
The continuity of the proposed development with the capital improvement program;
Because the developer is installing sewer, water, utilities and irrigation, for the development at
their cost, staff finds that the subdivision will not conflict with the capital improvement
program.
D.
The public fmancial capability of supporting services for the proposed development;
PP-O4-O35. CUP-O4-040
Somrnersby Sub.PP.CUP.doc
Mayor, Council, and P&Z Commission
Hearing Date: November 4, 2004
Page 4
Staff finds that the City and its related services are capable of servicing the proposed
development. The development will not require major expenditures for providing supporting
services. The application is not clear if the developer is intending to fund the construction of a
new traffic signal at the intersection of Ten Mile and Pine Ave. If not. this project willlikeiv
reQuire the expenditure of some ACHD funds to improve the capacitv of this intersection.
E.
The other health, safety or environmental problems that may be brought to the
Commission's attention.
It appears the Applicant is proposing to leave the Tenmile Sub Drain open in the southwest
comer of the site. The City has previously allowed this section of the drain to remain open
(Mosher's Fann Subdivision). Staff [rods that the drain is not a significant natural feature but
one that should be protected through standard stormwater and run-off management practices.
The Applicant has indicated that the property is, outside of any FEMA flood hazard zone.
Staff is not aware of any other health, safety or environmental problems associated with this
subdivision that should be brought to the Council or Commission's attention. Staff has not
identified any environmental problems that may be associated with the development of this
site.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS (PRELIMINARY PLAT)
A.
Building Setbacks: The application does not specify the reduced building setbacks being
proposed for Sommersby Subdivision. The applicant should provide details for both the L-O
and R-15 zones, wherever a reduction to standard setbacks is proposed. The primary setback
that appears to be in question is the required R-15 rear setback of 15-feet (MCC 11-9-1). If the
Commission and Council support staffs recommendation to provide the residential landscape
buffers along Pine and Ten Mile in separate common lots, the rear setbacks along these street
buffers will be between zero (0) and five (5) feet. This may require a reduction to building
sizes. The applicant should address this issue at the P&Z Commission public hearing and
provide a typical plot plan.
B.
HOA for Single-Familv Units: Since there is no vehicular or pedestrian access to the four (4)
townhouses on Lots 1-4, Block 2 ITom within Sommersby Subdivision and no vehicular access
to the five (5) single family lots in the northwest comer, the applicant should clarify if these
units will be included in the Sommersby HOA and CC&R's and have access to the site
amenities. Also, draft CC&R's were submitted for both Paddington and Cooper Canyon. The
applicant should clarify the difference between these two documents and how they will apply.
C.
Temporary Emergencv Turnaround: The preliminary plat (Sheet I) shows a temporary
turnaround at the eastern terminus ofN. Gray Cloud Way which affects Lot 12 and 13, Block I
and Lot 4, Block 2. It currently shows a radius of 45 feet. Unless otherwise approved by the
Meridian Fire Department, this radius will need to be 48 feet. Additionally, the final plat will
need to include a deed restriction on these three (3) lots that references the temporary
turnaround. (See Site Specific Condition #4.)

D.
On-Site Drainage: The preliminary plat shows three (3) seepage beds in the western half of the
development that appear to receive all on-site drainage. Staff requests the applicant to confirm
there will be no stormwater drainage areas/swales located within Lot 51 or 54.
E.
Internal Walking Paths: The Landscape Planting Plan by Harvest Design shows three (3)
internal walking paths leading to Lot 54 ITom the west, north and east between several of the
four-plex lots. Staff supports this concept but the preliminary plat will need to be revised to
accommodate public access across the private four-plex lots. Staff is recommending the plat
reflect pedestrian easements for these walking paths. (See Site Specific Condition #2.d.)

1.
All applicable conditions of the Sommersby CUPIPD application (CUP-04-040) shall also be
considered conditions of the Preliminary Plat (PP-04-035).

The preliminary Landscape Planting Plan (Sheet LS-l, dated 9/02/04 by Harvest Design, P.C.)
is approved with the following changes:
a. MCC 12-13-12-3 requires the 20-foot buffer between the multi-family lots on the
north boundary and the single family lots in Thunder Creek be planted to result in
an effective barrier within three (3) years and be maintained such that 60% or more

A detailed fencing plan shall be submitted upon application of the final plat (MCC 12-4-
1O.F.3). If no pennanent fencing is provided on the perimeter of the subdivision, temporary
construction fencing to contain debris must be installed around the perimeter prior to issuance
of a building pennit. All fencing shall be installed in accordance with MCC 12-4-10.
7.
CC&R's shall be recorded for Sommersby Subdivision which outline maintenance

8.
With the exception of the Ten Mile Sub Drain, the Applicant is required to tile or cover any
other inigation ditches, laterals or canals that cross, intersect or lie adjacent to the subject site.
Any ditch, canal or lateral to be piped should be shown on plans, which shall be approved by
the appropriate irrigation/drainage district, or lateral users association, with written
confinnation of said approval submitted to the Public Works Department. If lateral users
association approval can not be obtained, plans will be reviewed and approved by the City
Engineer prior to final plat signature.
9.
Underground vear-round pressurized irrigation must be provided to all lots within this
development. The City of Meridian requires that pressurized irrigation systems be supplied by a
year-round source of water. If the pressurized inigation system within this development is to
remain a private association system, complete plans and specifications 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 shall be submitted prior to plan approval. 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.
10.
Staff finds that the applicants engineer has demonstrated that the project can be provided
sanitary sewer service to the existing mains adjacent to the project site. The existing sewer
mains in both W. Pine Ave and adjacent to the Nine Mile Drain are quite shallow, however the

Compaction test results must be submitted to the Meridian Building Department for all building
pads receiving engineered backfill, where footing would sit atop fill material.
10.
Staff's failure to cite specific ordinance provisions or ternIS of the approved
annexation/conditional use does not relieve the Applicant of responsibility for compliance.
11.
Preliminary plat approval shall be subject to the expiration provisions set forth in MCC 12-2-4.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT ANALYSIS
The Commission and Council shall review the particular facts and circumstances of each
proposed conditional use in terms of the following and may approve a conditional use permit if
they t"md evidence presented at the hearing(s) is adequate to establish (11-17-3):
A.
That the site is large enough to accommodate the proposed use and all yards, open spaces,
parking, landscaping and other features as may be required by this ordinance;
Reauired Rear Yard: The site may not be large enough to accommodate the IS-foot required
rear yard for the proposed four-plex buildings on W. Pine Avenue ifthe Commission and
Council require all street buffers to be located within common lots, especially if a perimeter
fence is constructed.
OOen Space: MCC 12-13-16 requires all multi-family developments to provide common open
space that equals or exceeds ten percent (10%) of the gross land area. Sommersby is 12.73
acres in size, which requires 55,452 sq. ft. of open space, exclusive of the Ten Mile and Pine
Ave. street buffers and the 20-foot buffer between Lots 7-9 and Thunder Creek. The CUPIPD
PP-O4-O35, CUP-O4-040
Sommersby Sub.PP.CUP.doc
Mayor, Council, and P&Z Commission
Hearing Date: November 4, 2004
Page 9
Site Plan shows the total open space as 3.27 acres, or 31.05% of the site. Even though this
figure includes the north boundary buffer, it would still exceed the minimum 10% amount.
Trash Enclosures: The applicant has met with SCC regarding the proposed trash enclosure
locations and SSC is requiring additional enclosures on the site. However, no revised plan has
been submitted showing how or where these will be located.
Commercial Parking: MCC 11-13-5.B. requires at least one parking stall per 400 sq. ft. of
office floor area. Lots 33 - 40 show a total of21,000 sq. ft. of floor area, requiring 53 stalls,
which meets the minimum parking requirements of code.
Residential Parking: MCC 11-13-5.B requires at least two (2) parking stalls for each dwelling
unit (multi-family and single family). There are 132 multi-family units, which requires 264
stalls. The Site Plan shows 265 stalls, including the 12, two-car garages. The single family units
must each provide a two-car garage.
Garage Setbacks: As required under the preliminary plat, the drive aisles on Lots 20 and 30
need to be widened by five (5) feet. The minimum rear setbacks on Lots 23, 31 and 32 are
already below the minimum 15 feet. In order to accommodate the garages on these three lots,
the CUPIPD must approve setback reductions in excess of 50% ofthe minimum. The site may
not be large enough to accommodate these garages.
Although the site is large enough to accommodate all of the features required by ordinance, the
Applicant has asked, through the Planned Development, to modify specific development
standards. Staff is requesting the applicant provide more details on the proposed modifications.
B.
That the proposed use and development plan will be harmonious with the Meridian
Comprehensive Plan and in accordance with the requirements of this Ordinance;
See "Preliminary Plat Finding A" above.
C.
That the design, construction, operation, and maintenance will be compatible with other
uses in the general neighborhood and with the existing or intended character of the
general vicinity and that such use will not adversely change the essential cbaracter of the
same area;
Staff finds that the general design, construction, operation, and maintenance should be
compatible with other uses in the general neighborhood and with the existing or intended
character of the area IF all required buffers between land uses are constructed in accordance
with MCC 12-13-12 and all other conditions of this application are met. The P&Z Commission
and City Council should review this finding based upon any public testimony received during
the hearing process.
D.
That the proposed use, if it complies with all conditions of the approval imposed, will not
adversely affect other property in the vicinity;

Staff does not anticipate that the proposed development will have an adverse impact on the
surrounding property. However, staff recommends that the Commission and Council rely upon
public testimony, staff's analysis, and other agency comments when determining if the
proposed uses will adversely affect the other properties in the vicinity.
E.
That the proposed use will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services
such as highways, street, police, and fIre protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal,
water, sewer or that the person responsible for the establishment of proposed conditional
use shall be able to provide adequately any such services;
Sanitary sewer and water service is proposed subdivision shall be via extensions to the site
from existing main lines.
On October 8, 2004, ajoint agency/department comments meeting was held with
representatives of key service providers to this property. See detailed conditions from these
agencies at the end of this report. ACHD staff has approved this application, with site-specific
conditions as well as their standard requirements. The Commission and Council should
reference any written or verbal testimony submitted by the Meridian Police and Fire
Departments regarding their ability to adequately service this project.
That the proposed use will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for
public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the econoDÙc welfare of the
community;
If approved, the developer will be required to finance the extension of sewer, water, utilities
and pressurized irrigation to serve the project. The primary public costs to serve the site will be
fire and police services. Staff finds there will not be excessive additional requirements at public
cost and that the proposed use will not be detrimental to the community's economic welfare.
That the proposed use will not involve activities or processes, materials, equipment, and
conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property, or general
welfare by reason of excessive production of traffIc, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors;
As this site builds out, it will produce additional traffic on nearby arterial roadways. Staff
recognizes the fact that traffic and noise will increase with the development of this site.
However, staff does not anticipate that the development of this site will create excessive
traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare, or odors as compared with other, similar size
developments.
That the proposed use will have vehicular approaches to the property which shall be so
designed as not to create an interference with traffIc on surrounding public streets;
ACHD staff has reviewed and approved both vehicular approaches to the site from Ten Mile
and Pine Avenue. Please review the ACHD report for this project for additional information
regarding this finding. As noted under the preliminary plat, the cul-de-sacs need to be widened
to adequately accommodate the Meridian Fire Department.

I.
That the proposed use will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural,
scenic or historic feature considered to be of major importance.
The Applicant is proposing to leave the Tenmile Sub Drain open abutting the site. The
applicant has indicated that the property is outside of the FEMA flood zones. Staff is not
aware of any other natural or scenic feature(s) of major importance in the area that may be
affected by the proposed development.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS (CuP/pm
A.
Reduced Standards: The Applicant has requested approval of a PD to allow reduced
development standards including reduced building setbacks. As noted above, staff is requesting
the applicant request specific reduced standards for all dimensional requirements. As a point of
information, staff is supportive of allowing a minimum 10 feet (5 feet to property line) of
separation between the sides of the proposed multi-family buildings, and a minimum of 12 feet
from the rear of the buildings to property lines.
Construction materials used on the structures with modified setbacks/separation should be
approved by City of Meridian Building Department and in accordance with the most recent
International Building Code. See Site Specific Condition #2 below.
B.
Open SDace: In addition to the standard common open space requirement, Meridian City
Code 12-6-2.A.4 states that all residential planned developments shall provide each dwelling
unit with at least 100 square feet of useable private open space, such as a patio or deck. The
ADDlicant must comDlv with the above-mentioned ordinance requirements for ODen SDace and
Dresen!. at the Dublic hearing. calculations exDlaining how the required usable Drivate ODen
SDace requirement for each unit will be met for the multi-familv develoDmen!. See Site Specific
Conditions #4 & #5 below.
c.
Minimum Dwelling Unit Sizes: The applicant proposes minimum dwelling unit sizes of 500
square feet in the 8-plexes and 833 square feet in the 4-plexes. Approximately 30% of all
dwelling units within the subdivision are within the 8-plexes. MCC ll-1O-4 establishes
minimum house sizes for sin!!ie familv detached housing in the R-15 zone, but does not address
multi-family housing. No floor plans were submitted with the application (and none were
required), but staff assumes the 500 square foot units are one-bedroom/studio type floor plans.
We have concerns about 30% of the units in this project being at this size. The 2000 U.S.
Census shows Meridian's average household size of renter-occupied units at 2.67 persons.
Given this and other Meridian demographics, we question the market demand and leaseability
of these studio-type units.
Parking at Plaza: The Site Plan currently shows three (3) parking stalls on the south side of Lot
51. Staff believes this open space area would be greatly enhanced by eliminating these stalls
and opening up the full frontage of this plaza to the office lots. It would reduce the parking
below the required ratio for the site (by 3 stalls), but we believe the aesthetic benefit would
outweigh the loss of parking. We request the applicant address this issue at the P&Z
Commission hearing.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff believes the proposed mix of office, multi-family and single family uses meets the intent of the
Mixed Use-Community designation on the Future Land Use Map. We also believe the proposed
amenities and open space meet the purpose and intent of Planned Developments and are in scale with
the proposed number of units. Creating N. Lightning Place as a cul-de-sac seems to be a good
compromise with the Thunder Creek homeowners to minimize impact on that existing neighborhood.
As noted in the staff report, however, we do have some concerns and points of clarification with the
current plat and site plan. In particular, we recommend the P&Z Commission address and resolve the
following issues before forwarding the applications to City Council:
1. Reduced Dimensions - applicant needs to provide specific standards for the proposed CUP /PD
reduced dimensions
2. Intersection Improvements - confinn Pre Plat Finding "D" regarding the timing and funding of
intersection improvements to Pine and Ten Mile
3. Building Setbacks - address rear setbacks off of W. Pine for the residential units
4. Garage Setbacks - address rear setbacks for the garages on Lots 23, 31 and 32
5. Minimum Dwelling Unit Size - address the proposed 500 sq. ft. minimum units within the
attached 4-plexes
6. Trash Enclosures - show how the additional trash enclosures will be accommodated on the site
7. Private Open Space - show how the 100 sq. ft. of private open space is provided for each unit
8. Parking on Lot 51 - address the option of removing the 3 parking spaces currently shown on
the south side of Lot 51

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 Sommersbv Subdivision will have a significant impact on school
enrollments at Chaparral Elementary. Meridian Middle. and Meridian High School.
We can predict that these homes, when completed, will house forty-three (43) elementary
aged children, thirty-nine (39) middle school aged children, and twenty-nine (29) senior
high aged students. Additional students will further compound the current overcrowded
situation. Residents cannot be assured of attending the neighborhood school, as it maybe
necessary to bus students to other schools across the district.
School CJ~pacity is addressed in Idaho Code 67-6508.TheMeridian 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.

Findings of Fact
1.
Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate 1,171 additional vehicle trips per day
(10 existing) based the submitted traffic impact study.
2.
Impact Fees: There will be impact fees that are assessed and due prior to issuance of building
permits. The assessed impact fees will be based on the impact fee ordinance that is in effect at that
time.
3.
Traffic Impact Study: A traffic impact study was required with this application.
Executive Summary:
. At full build-out the site is estimated to generate 1,171 vehicle trips per day, based on 132 multi-
family units, 9 townhouses, and 21,000 square feet of general office space. This will result in 100
AM peak hour trips and 113 PM peak hour trips.
. Approaches on Ten Mile Road and Pine Avenue will provide access to the multi-family units and
office space. The townhouses will access Ten Mile Road via Lightning Way and Gray Cloud Way
within the existing Thunder Creek Subdivision to the north.
. The traffic from the townhouses will travel through the Thunder Creek Subdivision. The homes on
the Lightning Place cul-de-sac will add 29 daily trips and 3 P.M. peak hour trips to Lightning Way
and to Gray Cloud Way approach to Ten Mile Road. The townhouses on the Gray Cloud Way
stub street will add 24 daily and 2 P.M. peak hour trips to the Gray Cloud way approach to Ten
Mile Road.
. Gray Cloud Way will be a stub street to the east of the Sommers by Subdivision. Future
developments will connect to this stub street and add traffic to the roadway.
. Left turn lanes for the site entrances are warranted at both the Ten Mile Road and Pine Avenue
approaches at full build-out.
Site Information: There is currently one single-family residence on the site. The balance of the site
is used for agricultural purposes.

Findings for Consideration
Right-of-Way
Ten Mile Road
District policy requires 96-feet of right-of-way on arterial roadways (Figure 72-F1 B). This right-of-way
allows for the construction of a 5-lane roadway with curb, gutter, 5-foot concrete detached sidewalks
and bike lanes.
Dedicate a total of 48-feet of right-of-way from the centerline of Ten Mile Road abutting the parcel by
means of a warranty deed. The right-of-way purchase and sale agreement and deed must be
completed and signed by the applicant prior to scheduling the final plat for signature by the ACHD
Commission or prior to issuance of a building permit (or other required permits), whichever occurs
first. Allow up to 30 business days to process the right-of-way dedication after receipt of all requested
material. The owner will be paid the fair market value of the right-of-way dedicated which is an
addition to existing ACHD right-of-way if the owner submits a letter of application to the impact fee
administrator prior to breaking ground, in accordance with the ACHD Ordinance in effect at that time
(currently Ordinance #198), iffunds are available.
The applicant will also be required to dedicate the right-of-way triangle at the northeast comer of the
intersection of Pine Avenue and Ten Mile Road to accommodate the intersection radius and
pedestrian ramp. The applicant wi/I be compensated for that right-of-way as mentioned above.
Pine Avenue
District policy requires 70-feet of right-of-way on collector roadways (Figure 72-F1 B). This right-of-
way width allows for the construction of a 3-lane roadway with curb, gutter, 5-foot wide detached
sidewalks and bike lanes.
Dedicate 35-feet of right-of-way from the centerline of Pine Avenue abutting the parcel by means of
recordation of a final subdivision plat or execution of a warranty deed prior to issuance of a building
permit (or other required permits), whichever occurs first. Allow up to 30 business days to process
the right-of-way dedication after receipt of all requested material. The owner will not be compensated
for this additional right-of-way because Pine Avenue is classified as a collector roadway and is to be
brought to adopted standards by the developers of abutting properties.
Sidewalk
District policy requires 7-foot wide attached (or 5-foot detached) concrete sidewalk on all collector
roadways and arterial roadways (7204.7.2).
The applicant has proposed to construct a 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk abutting the site
on Ten Mile Road located outside of the ultimate right-of-way. The applicant should provide the
District with an easement for the sidewalk that is located outside of the right-of-way. This proposal
meets District policy and should be approved with this application.
Street Sections
Pine Avenue
District policy 72-F1 B requires collector roadways to be constructed as a 46-foot street section with
vertical curb, gutter and 5-foot detached (or 7 -foot attached) concrete sidewalk within 70-feet of right-
of-way with parking prohibited on both sides.
The applicant is proposing to construct a 5-foot detached concrete sidewalk abutting the site on Pine
Avenue located approximately 41-feet from the centerline of Pine Avenue. This proposal meets
District policy and should be approved with this application.
The applicant will also be required to provide a road trust to the District for the pavement widening
(approximately 6-feet of additional pavement) on Pine Avenue and the vertical curb and gutter. The
District will utilize the road trust funds to construct those improvements at the time of the roadway
project in 2007. The road trust deposit shall be in the amount of $24,000.
Internal Local Streets
District policy 7204.4.2 states, "developments with any buildable lot that is less that 1-acre in size will
typically provide streets having a minimum pavement width of 32-feet with curb, gutter and sidewalks.
The total street width shall be 36-feet from back-of-curb to back-of-curb. Variations of this width may
be allowed, depending on traffic volumes forecast to be generated by the development. Concrete
sidewalks shall be a minimum of 5-feet in width unless they are separated from the curb 5-feet or
more in which case the sidewalk shall be a minimum of 4-feet in width.
The applicant is proposing to extend Lightning Place into the site and cul-de-sac the roadway. The
applicant is proposing to construct that roadway as a 36-foot street section with curb, gutter, and 5-
foot concrete sidewalks.
The applicant is proposing to extend Gray Cloud Way into the site and to construct it as 36-foot street
section with curb, gutter, and 5-foot concrete sidewalks.
4.
Roadway Offsets
Private Drive on Pine Avenue
District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 150-feet from a
collector roadway (measured centerline to centerline).
The applicant is proposing to construct a private road intersecting Pine Avenue in alignment with an
approved roadway for the Courtyards Subdivision on the south side of Pine Avenue. This proposal
meets District policy and should be approved with this application
Private Road on Ten Mile Raad
District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 300-feet from an
arterial roadway (measured centerline to centerline).
The applicant is proposing to construct a private road intersecting Ten Mile Road in alignment with
Acarrera Court. This proposal meets District policy and should be approved with this application.
5.
Stub Streets
District policy 7205.5 states that stub streets will be required to provide intra-neighborhood circulation
or to provide access to adjoining properties. Stub streets will conform with the requirements
described in Section 7204.5, 7204.6 and 7204.7, except a temporary cul-de-sac will not be required if
the stub street has a length no greater than 150-feel. A sign shall be installed at the terminus of the
stub street stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE." In addition, a stub
street must meet the following conditions:
5
1. A stub street shall be designed to slope towards the street intersection and drain
surface water toward that intersection, unless a satisfactory storm drain system is
installed.
2. The District may require appropriate covenants guaranteeing that the stub street will
remain free of obstructions.
The applicant has proposed to extend two stub streets from the north property line. Lightning Place
is proposed to be extended into the site, and it will cul-de-sac prior to connecting to the intemal street
system. The applicant is proposing a pedestrian pathway to allow for pedestrian connectivity.
The applicant has also proposed to extend Gray Cloud Way into the site from the north property line
and construct it over to the east property as a stub street. At the technical review meeting held on
October 15, 2004, the applicant also agreed to provide a pedestrian pathway to Gray Cloud Way to
allow10r pedestrian connectivity. The applicant has proposed that Lots 9-13, Block 1, will not have
access to Gray Cloud Way; only Lots 1-4, Block 2 will have access to Gray Cloud Way.
Staff Analvsis
Although it would be preferable to have these streets extend further into the site, the adjacent
neighborhoods have previously testified at ACHD that they have concerns about intersection cut
through traffic. The proposed layout preserves connectivity to the east and provides adequate
pedestrian paths to connect the existing subdivision to the new development.
6.
Private Roads
The applicant has proposed that the internal roads will be private. The applicant's proposal indicates
that there will be a private street intersecting Ten Mile Road and a private street intersecting Pine
Avenue and leading into the internal private roadway system. While the District discourages the
connection of the public roadway system to a private road system that would create a de facto public
road, there is no District policy prohibiting such a connection. District staff anticipates that due to the
internal design of the private roads with traffic circles, on-street parking, and circuitous routes, that the
proposed layout will not create a de facto public road through the site.
District policy 7205.6, other jurisdictions in Ada County establish the requirements for private streets.
The District retains authority and will review the proposed intersection of a private and public street
for compliance with District intersection policies and standards.
If the City of Meridian approves the private road, the applicant shall be required to pave the private
roadway a minimum of 20 to 24-feet wide and at least 3D-feet into the site beyond the edge of
pavement of Pine Avenue and Ten Mile Road and install pavement tapers with is-foot curb radii
abutting the existing roadway edge. The applicant should provide a plan showing how the private
road grade meets the public road. District Policy requires a design approach speed of 20 MPHand a
maximum intersection approach grade of 2% for at least 40-feet.
Street name and stop signs are required for the private road. The signs may be ordered through the
District. Verification of the correct, approved name of the road is required.
ACHD does not make any assurances that the private road, which is a part of this application, will be
accepted as a public road if such a request is made in the future. Substantial redesign and
reconstruction costs may be necessary in order to qualify this road for public ownership and
maintenance.
6
7
The following requirements must be met if the applicant wishes to dedicate the roadway to ACHD:
. Dedicate a minimum of 50-feet of right-of-way for the road.
. Construct the roadway to the minimum ACHD requirements.
Construct a stub street to the surrounding parcels.
7.
Turn Lanes
District policy 3004.1, 72-F8, AASHTO guidelines and the MUTCD guidelines require the turn lane to
be constructed to provide a minimum of 1 OO-feet of storage with shadow tapers for both the approach
and departure directions.
The turn lanes are already included in the design for construction in 2007, and the applicant will not
be required to construct these improvements. Turn lanes for the site are not warranted until full build-
out, projected for 2009.
8.
Driveways
Offsets
District policy F2-F4 (1) and 72-F4 (2), requires driveways located on local residential roadways to
offset a controlled and/or uncontrolled intersection a minimum of 50-feet (measured near edge to
near edge).
District policy 72-F5, requires driveways located on collector or arterial roadways with a speed limit of
35 to align or offset a minimum of 150-feet from any existing or proposed driveway.
The applicant is not proposing any direct access points, other than the two private roads, on either
Pine Avenue or Ten Mile Road.
Widths
District Policy 7207.9.3 restricts residential driveways to a maximum width of 20-feet.
9.
Other Access
Ten Mile Road is classified as a minor arterial roadway, and Pine Avenue is classified as a collector
roadway. Other than the access specifically approved with this application, direct lot access to Ten
Mile Road and Pine Avenue will be prohibited. A note of the access restriction should be placed on
the final plat.
C.
Site Specific Conditions of Approval
1.
Dedicate a total of 48-feet of right-of-way from the centerline of Ten Mile Road abutting the parcel by
means of a warranty deed. The right-of-way purchase and sale agreement and deed must be
completed and signed by the applicant prior to scheduling the final plat for signature by the ACHD
Commission or prior to issuance of a building permit (or other required permits), whichever occurs
first. Allow up to 30 business days to process the right-of-way dedication after receipt of all requested
material. The owner will be paid the fair market value of the right-of-way dedicated which is an
addition to existing ACHD right-of-way if the owner submits a letter of application to the impact fee
administrator prior to breaking ground, in accordance with the ACHD Ordinance in effect at that time
(currently Ordinance #198), if funds are available.

Request for Reconsideration of Commission Action
1.
Request for Reconsideration of Commission Action: A Commissioner, a member of ACHD staff
or any other person objecting to any final action taken by the Commission may request
reconsideration of that action, provided the request is not for a reconsideration of an action previously
requested to be reconsidered, an action whose provisions have been partly and materially carried
out, or an action that has created a contractual relationship with third parties.
a. Only a Commission member who voted with the prevailing side can move for reconsideration,
but the motion may be seconded by any Commissioner and is voted on by all Commissioners
present.
If a motion to reconsider is made and seconded it is subject to a motion to postpone to a
certain time.
b. The request must be in writing and delivered to the Secretary of the Highway District no later
than 3:00 p.m. on the day prior to the Commission's next scheduled regular meeting following
the meeting at which the action to be reconsidered was taken. Upon receipt of the request,
the Secretary shall cause the same to be placed on the agenda for that next scheduled
regular Commission meeting.
c. The request for reconsideration must be supported by written documentation setting forth new
facts and information not presented at the earlier meeting, or a changed situation that has
developed since the taking of the earlier vote, or information establishing an error of fact or
law in the earlier action. The request may also be supported by oral testimony at the meeting.
d. If a motion to reconsider passes, the effect is the original matter is in the exact position it
occupied the moment before it was voted on originally. It will normally be returned to ACHD
staff for further review. The Commission may set the date of the meeting at which the matter
is to be returned. The Commission shall only take action on the original matter at a meeting
where the agenda notice so provides.
e. At the meeting where the original matter is again on the agenda for Commission action,
interested persons and ACHD staff may present such written and oral testimony as the
President of the Commission determines to be appropriate, and the Commission may take
any action the majority of the Commission deems advisable.
f. If a motion to reconsider passes, the applicant may be charged a reasonable fee, to cover
