Re:
Klamath Basin Subdivision
. Aunexation and Zoning of 5.01 Acres from RUT to R-4 (Low Density
Residential), by Randy Worden (File No. AZ-04-035).
.
Preliminary Plat for Twelve (12) Building Lots and Three (3) Common/Other
Lots on 4.56 Acres in a Proposed R-4 Zone, by Randy Worden (File No. PP-
04-045).
We have reviewed the above referenced submittals and offer the following comments and
conditions of approval. These conditions shall be considered in full, unless expressly
modified or deleted by motion of the Meridian City Council:
APPLICATIONS SUMMARY
The applicant, Randy Worden, has applied for Annexation and Zoning (AZ) and Preliminary Plat
(PP) approval of twelve (12) building lots and three (3) common/other lots on 4.56 acres ofland
(exclusive of new right-of-way for Ustick Road) located on the southeast comer of Black Cat
Road and Ustick Road. The applicant has requested all of the property be zoned R-4 (Low
Density Residential). The land is designated as Low Density Residential on the Comprehensive
Plan Future Land Use Map. Currently there is a single-family home and some outbuildings on
the site, which will be removed.
The subject site has not been previously platted. As noted above, the applicant is proposing to
subdivide the subject triangular shaped parcel into twelve buildable lots, each lot containing a
minimum 8,000 square-feet. The gross density of the proposed subdivision is 2.63 dwelling units
per acre. This density is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan future land use designation of
Low Density Residential (3 dwelling units per acre or less). The twelve proposed building lots
range in size from 8,000 square-feet up to 13,829 square-feet. All housing types are proposed as
single-family residential, with a minimum house size of 1,400 square feet. The applicant is
proposing to develop this site in one phase.

A public stub street, West Niemaun Street, was provided to the subject site with the recent
development of Staten Park Subdivision to the east. The applicant is proposing to extend said
stub street into the site. Once extended, Niemaun Street will exceed the maximum 450-foot cul-
de-sac length established by MCC 12-4-2.F. Although staff is generally supportive of the design
of the proposed subdivision, the applicant will need to apply for and receive a variance to MCC
12-4-2.F from the Meridian City Council to develop the property as proposed. See Preliminary
Plat Conditions of Approval #2 below. The applicant is also requesting a waiver of the standard
requirement to tile the Eight Mile Lateral adjacent to the site. See Special Consideration #4 in the
Preliminary Plat Analysis below. No other variances, exceptions or reductions to the City
adopted dimensional standards or uses are requested with the preliminary plat application.
Staff has provided a detailed analysis and recommended conditions of approval for the requested
aunexation and zoning and preliminary plat applications below. Staff is recommending
approval of the applications, with the conditions outlined in this report.
LOCATION
The property is located on the southeast comer of Black Cat Road and Ustick Road, in Section 3,
Township 3 North, Range 1 West.
SURROUNDING PROPERTIES
North: Agricultural, zoned RUT (Ada County)
Southwest: Single-family homes on large parcels, zoned RUT (Ada County)
Northwest: Single-family homes, Birchstone Creek Subdivision, zoned R-8
East: Single-family homes, Staten Park Subdivision, zoned R-4
OWNERS OF RECORD
The property owners of record are Randy & Linnea Worden, and Randy Worden has signed the
submitted applications requesting aunexation and preliminary plat approval.
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:
A.
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 proposed zoning designation, R-4, is harmonious with and in
accordance with the 2002 Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map, which
designates the land to be Low Density Residential. Residential densities of three dwelling
units or less per acre are allowed per the Comprehensive Plan; the proposed gross density
of Klamath Basin Subdivision is 2.63 dwelling units per acre. In addition, in the

Page 3
applicant's cover letter several Comprehensive Plan policies are listed, which support the
aunexation and proposed residential use ofthe property.
B.
Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be rezoned in the future;
Staff does not anticipate that the applicant intends to rezone the subject property in the
future.
c.
Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be developed in the
fashion that would be allowed under the new zoning -for example, a residential area
turning into a commercial area by means of conditional use permits;
Staff finds that single-family residential uses are allowed within the requested zoning
district ofR-4. The accompanying plat demonstrates the land will be developed with lot
sizes, housing types and other dimensional requirements that conform to the proposed
zoning designation. NOTE: The applicant will need to obtain variance approval from the
City Council because the proposed plat includes a dead-end street that exceeds the
maximum cul-de-sac length established by code (see PrelirninaryPlat Analysis below).
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;
Staff fmds that properties to the east and northwest have recently been approved for
development similar to the proposed subdivision. Staten Park Subdivision to the east and
Birchstone Creek Subdivision to the northwest are both single-family developments with
residential densities similar to the proposed plat. Except for the large RUT parcel across
Ustick Road and four small parcels directly south of the subject parcel, the entire section
has already been aunexed into the Meridian City limits. This is one of the last parcels
designated 'Low Density Residential' on the Future Land Use Map that has not been
aunexed and approved for development in Section 3, Township 3 North, Range I West.
The arterial streets abutting this site, Ustick Road and Black Cat Road are currently not
included within ACHD's Five Year Work Program for roadway improvements.
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;
The existing character of the area will, and is, currently changing, especially upon build-
out of the proposed project and other similar subdivisions in the general vicinity. Staff
finds that the proposed R-4 zoning and subsequent single-family residential uses
proposed in the preliminary plat are consistent with the intended character of the vicinity,
as depicted on the Future Land Use Map. Staff also finds that the proposed zoning/uses

KJ~,'hB~~.AZPP.OOC
Planning & Zoning CommissionlMayor & City Council

Page 4
can be designed and constructed in a mauner that will be hannonious with and
appropriate in appearance with the existing and intended character of the surrounding
area. Although there will be an impact of the subject development on the existing
character of the area, staff finds that the impact is consistent with the intended character
of the area; a mix of low and medium density residential.
F.
Will the proposed uses not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future
neighboring uses;
Staff does not anticipate that the proposed residential uses will be hazardous as long as
the conditions outlined in this report are complied with and construction traffic and house
construction is conducted in a mauner consistent with City Code.
The Commission and Council should rely on any public testimony (oral and written)
when determining whether or not the proposed zoning and subsequent uses will be
disturbing or hazardous to the existing or future neighboring uses.
G.
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;
The applicant will be responsible for the extension of utilities to and through this
proposed development. Sizing and routing shall be coordinated with the Public Works
Department.
The applicant and/or future property owners will be required to pay park and highway
impact fees.
On January 25, 2005, ACHD staff approved this development with site-specific and
standard conditions. Please review the ACHD report for additional information regarding
this finding.
On January 14, 2005, a joint agency/department comments meeting was held with
representatives of key service providers to this property. Based on the joint
agency/department meeting and other comments received from agencies/departments,
staff finds that the public services listed above can be made available to accommodate the
proposed development. The Commission and Council should reference any written
and/or verbal testimony submitted by any public service provider, regarding their ability
to adequately service this project.
H.
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;
If approved, the developer will be financing the extension of sewer, water, local street
infrastructure, utilities and irrigation services to serve the project. The primary public

costs to serve the future residents will be fire, police and school facilities and services.
Staff finds there will not be excessive additional requirements at public cost and that the
proposed zoning and subsequent development will not be detrimental to the community's
economic welfare.
I.
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 the proposed aunexation and the development of single-family homes on
this site will not involve uses that will create nuisances that would be detrimental to the
general welfare of the surrounding area.
ACHD projects this development will generate 110 additional vehicle trips per day. Staff
recognizes the fact that traffic and noise will increase with the approval of this
subdivision; however, staff does not believe that the amount generated will be
detrimental to the general welfare of the public. Staff does not anticipate the proposed
aunexation and subsequent uses will create excessive traffic (see finding "]" below),
noise, smoke, fumes, glare, or odors.
J.
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 is proposing to extend the existing public stub street (Niemaun Street) to
the east, as the only vehicular access into the site. ACHD is requiring Niemaun Street to
be extended as proposed. No other access to Ustick Road or Black Cat Road has been
approved by ACHD with the subject application.
The extension of Niemaun Street will cause traffic volumes on the existing streets in
Staten Park Subdivision to increase. However, if the extension of Niemaun Street is
constructed as approved by ACHD, staff does not believe that the subdivision will create
interference with traffic on the surrounding public streets.
K.
Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic feature of
major importance; and
There are several mature trees on this property. Any existing trees larger than 4"
caliper that are removed should be mitigated for, per the Landscape Ordinance. If the
on-site trees are protected and mitigated for, as required by the Meridian Parks
Department, staff fmds that the proposed development will not result in the destruction,
loss or damage of any natural feature(s) of major importance. Staff recommends that
the Commission and Council reference any public testimony that may be presented to
determine whether or not the proposed development may destroy or damage a natural
or scenic feature(s) of major importance of which staff is unaware.

L.
Is the proposed zoning amendment in the best interest of the City of Meridian. (Ord.
592, 11-17-1992)?
Staff finds that all essential services are available or will be provided by the developer to
the subject property and will not require unreasonable expenditure of public funds. The
applicant is proposing to develop the land in substantial compliance with the City's
Comprehensive Plan (low density residential). Lands to the east, west and northwest of
the subject property have already been approved for aunexation and development and this
is a logical expansion of the City limits. In accordance with the findings listed above,
staff finds that the aunexation/zoning of this propertv would be in the best interest of the
City.
ADDITIONAL ANEXATION AND ZONING COMMENTS
1. The legal description submitted with the application, prepared by B & A Engineers, Inc.,
shows that the property is contiguous to the existing corporate boundary of the City of
Meridian.
2. Any future subdivision, uses and construction on this property shall comply with the City of
Meridian ordinances in effect at the time.
PRELIMINARY PLAT ANALYSIS
Sections 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:
A.
The conformance of the subdivision with the Comprehensive Development Plan;
Staff finds that the proposed application is in substantial compliance with the adopted
Future Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan (Chapter VII). The proposed density,
2.63 dwelling units per acre (gross), 3.39 dwelling units per acre (net) is in compliance
with the land use classification, low density residential, noted on the map.
B.
The availability of public services to accommodate the proposed development;
Staff finds that public services are available to accommodate the proposed development.
(See finding "0" under Aunexation and Zoning Analysis for more detail.)
C.
The continuity of the proposed development with the capital improvement program;
Because the developer is installing sewer, water, and utilities for the development at their
cost, staff finds that the subdivision will not require the expenditure of capital
improvement funds.
D.
The public fmancial capability of supporting services for the proposed development;

Staff recommends the Commission and Council rely upon comments from the public
service providers (i.e.- police, fire, ACHD, etc.) to determine this finding. (See finding
"G" under Aunexation and Zoning Analysis above, and the Agency Comments and
Conditions at the end of this report for more detail.)
E.
The other health, safety or environmental problems that may be brought to the
Commission's attention.
Staff is not aware of any health, safety or enviromnental problems associated with the
development of this subdivision that should be brought to the Council or Commission's
attention. ACHD considers road safety issues in their analysis; ACHD staff has approved
this subdivision, with conditions. Staff recommends that the Commission and Council
reference any public testimony that may be presented to determine whether or not the
proposed subdivision may cause health, safety or enviromnental problems of which staff
is unaware.
PRELIMINARY PLAT SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
I. Cul-de-sac LeDInh: As mentioned in the summary above, the applicant is proposing a cuI-
de-sac length that is approximately 500-feet long. MCC 12-4-2.Frequires cul-de-sacs to
be no longer than 450-feet. The applicant has submitted a variance request to exceed the
maximum cul-de-sac limit established by MCC. NOTE: MCC 11-18 (Variances) does not
require Commission action and will be heard by the City Council on the same agenda as
the subject AZ & PP applications.
Staff is recommending approval of a variance to the typical cul-de-sac length maximum
for the following reasons (City Council and Mayor please see the variance staff report for
more detailed analysis):
. There is an existing stub street to the property from the east that must be extended
into the site (see ACHD report),
. The applicant is only proposing to utilize Niemaun Street as access for the
development; no other accesses to Ustick Road or Black Cat Road, both arterial
roadways, are proposed. Staff is supportive oflimiting access points to classified
roadways, especially near arterial/arterial intersections,
. The parcel has an odd, triangular shape and is bordered on the south by the Eight
Mile Lateral, a fairly wide and deep facility that the applicant is not proposing to
tile. Extending Niemaun Street to the parcel to the south (stub) would require a
bridge or a culvert to be constructed across the lateral. A bridge/culvert across the
Eight Mile Lateral, for a public street would not be beneficial to either the subject
parcel or the parcel to the south. A bridge/culvert would inhibit the parcel to the
south from developing efficiently, and would not be the best use of the land,
. Approving a variance for a 500-foot cul-de-sac will not have a detrimental impact
to adjacent properties, and;
. Approving a variance will not have the effect of altering the interest and purpose
of the cul-de-sac length maximum established by MCC or the Comprehensive
Plan.

AZ-04-035IPP-<J4-04;
Approval of the submitted preliminary plat is subject to the applicant receiving variance
approval ITom the City Council for the proposed Niemaun Street cul-de-sac. See Site
Specific Condition #2 below.
Common Drives: MCC allows up to four (4) dwelling units to access a common
driveway. Common drives serving two dwelling units shall be a minimum of sixteen feet
(16') in width. Common drives serving three or four dwelling units shall be a minimum
of twenty-four feet (24') in width. Common drives less than one hundred and fifty feet
(150') in length shall be constructed of at least six inches (6") of well-compacted, two-
inch (2") minus crushed gravel and two and one half inches (2.5") of asphaltic concrete
paving (MCCI 2-4-1 4).
MCC 11-9-1 allows street ITontage for up to two lots sharing a common driveway to be
reduced to 15 feet each, and street ITontage for three or four lots sharing a common
driveway to be reduced to 10-feet each. On the submitted preliminary plat, Lots 13 and
14, Block I, each have IS-feet of frontage on Niemaun Street.
The applicant is proposing to utilize a common driveway for Lots 13 and 14, Block 1.
The applicant has also requested flexibility for Lots 12 and/or 15 to also take access from
the common drive in the future. If approved as requested, future owners of Lots 12 and
15 will have some flexibility when determining building orientation on the lots (see
Applicant's letter). Staff likes the idea of allowing some flexibility in orientation, but for
maintenance purposes staff believes that before the final plat is signed, maintenance of
the common driveway needs to be established.
Staff is generally supportive of common driveways, but has recently run into problems
with narrow common driveways. It is often difficult for vehicles, including both private
automobiles and emergency vehicles, to maneuver (back-up, turnaround, etc.) in a 16-
foot wide driveway that may have fences, cars or other obstructions adjacent to the
pavement. Therefore, even if the common driveway only serves 2 lots, the Meridian Fire
Department will require that the common driveway be constructed 20-feet wide (see
Agency Comments and Conditions below). If the common driveway serves 3 or more
lots, the common driveway shall be a minimum of 24-feet wide (see MCC 12-4-14).
A note should be placed on the face of the [mal plat stating the pUfDose of the common
drivewav easement and who is to be responsible for maintenance thereof. Unless
otherwise approved bv the Meridian Fire Department. said common drive should be
constructed a minimum of 20-feet wide (for two units) OR 24-feet wide if three or more
dwelling units are utilizing the common drive. Said common drive should be constructed
with crushed gravel and asphaltic concrete paving, as required bv MCC 12-4-14. See Site
Specific Condition #3 below.
Existing Structures: There are several buildings within the boundaries of the proposed
plat. Some of the buildings span across proposed lot lines and/or do not meet the setback
requirements of the requested zone. Further, most of the structures are accessory to the
Kl,"""", S"m.AZ.PP.DDC
Planning & Zoning CommissionlMayor & City Council
February 3,2005 (P&Z Hearing Date)
Page 9
existing house and caunot be located on their own lot without a primary residence. The
applicant is proposing to remove all existing structures currently on this site. Prior to
signature of the final plat by the City Engineer, all buildings on this site should be
removed, as proposed. See Site Specific Condition #4 below.
4.
Ditches. Laterals. and Canals: Per MCC 12-4-13, all irrigation ditches, laterals or canals,
exclusive of natural waterways, intersecting, crossing or lying adjacent and contiguous to
the area being subdivided shall be tiled.
The applicant has requested a waiver of the requirement to tile or cover the Eight Mile
Lateral, on the south side of the development. A large pipe will be needed to pipe this
section of the Eight Mile Lateral, and that the City has historically not required the tiling
of laterals that require a pipe diameter of 48 inches. Further, Staten Park Subdivision was
not required to tile the Eight Mile Lateral adjacent to their development. A 6-foot fence
has been constructed along the southern boundary of Staten Park Subdivision to the east.
Staff believes that if fencing is installed abutting the Eight Mile Lateral on the subject
site, then the public's health and safety will not be compromised by not requiring the
applicant to tile the lateral.
Meridian City Code 12-4-13.A.2 allows the City to waive the requirement for covering a
ditch, lateral or canal, if it finds that the public purpose requiring such will not be served
in the individual case. Staff finds that because tiling the lateral will not improve public
health. safetv. or welfare. the applicant should not be required to tile the Eight Mile
Lateral abutting the site. In accordance with Meridian Citv Code. the applicant should be
required to tile or cover anv other irrigation ditches. lateral or canals that cross. intersect
or lie adjacent to the subject site. Plans will need to be approved by the appropriate
irrigation/drainage district, or lateral users association (ditch owners), with written
approval or non-approval submitted to the Public Works Department. If lateral users
association approval caunot be obtained, plans will be reviewed and approved by the City
Engineer prior to final plat signature. See Site Specific Condition #5 below.
5.
Pressure Irrigation: The applicant is proposing to tie into the existing pressure Nampa &
Meridian Irrigation District system in Staten Park. The City of Meridian requires that
pressurized irrigation systems be supplied by a year-round source of water (MCC 12-13-
8.3). The applicant should 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 will be responsible for the payment of assessments for the common areas prior
to signature on the final plat by the City Engineer. An underground, pressurized irrigation
system should be installed to all landscape areas per the approved specifications and in
accordance with MCC 12-13-8 and MCC 9-1-28. See Site Specific Condition #6 below.
6.
Tree Mitigation: There are several large trees on this site that the applicant is proposing
to remove or relocate. Any tree over 4" in caliper that is removed from the property shall
be replaced by installing additional trees, being the equivalent number of caliper inches
of trees that were removed. Required landscaping trees will not be considered as

replacement trees for those trees that are removed (MCC 12-13-13-3). The applicant
should coordinate a tree protection/mitigation plan with Elroy Huff at the Meridian Park
Department. See Site Specific Condition #7 below.
SITE SPECIFIC CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL (PRELIMINARY PLAT)
1. All conditions of the Aunexation and Zoning (AZ-04-035) application shall also be
considered conditions of the Preliminary Plat (PP-04-045).
2.
The submitted preliminary plat prepared by B & A Engineers, Inc., labeled Sheet I, dated
11-18-04, is approved, with the conditions outlined herein. Approval of PP-04-045 shall
be contingent upon the applicant obtaining a variance from the City Council for the
proposed Niemaun Street cul-de-sac length.
3.
Utilize a common driveway for Lots 13 and 14, Block 1. The public street frontage for
Lots 13 and 14, Block I, may be reduced to IS-feet, as proposed. Unless otherwise
approved by the Meridian Fire Department, the drive surface of said common drive shall
be constructed a minimum of 20-feet wide, with crushed gravel and asphaltic concrete
paving in accordance with Meridian City Code. In accordance with Meridian City Code,
if Lot 12 and/or 15, Block 1, utilize said common driveway, the driveway must be
constructed to a minimum 24-feet wide, with crushed gravel and asphaltic concrete
paving. Said common driveway shall have a minimum GVW of 70,000 lbs. No parking
signs shall be installed on any portion of the common driveway that doubles as a fire lane.
Any portion of the flag for Lots 13 and 14 that are beyond the driveway surface shall be
landscaped. A note shall be placed on the face of the final plat stating the purpose of the
common driveway easement and who is to be responsible for maintenance thereof. All
Common driveways shall be straight or have a turning radius of28' inside and 48' outside.
4.
Prior to signature of the final plat by the City Engineer, all structures on this site shall be
removed.
5.
The applicant shall not be required to tile the Eight Mile Lateral abutting the site. In lieu
of tiling the Eight Mile Lateral, the applicant shall be required to install a 6- foot tall fence
along the back side of the lots on the southern portion of the development. Said fence
shall tie into the existing fence to the east (Staten Park Subdivision). All other irrigation
ditches, laterals or canals, exclusive of natural waterways, intersecting, crossing or lying
adjacent and contiguous to the area being subdivided shall be tiled per MCC 12-4-13.
Plans will need to be approved by the appropriate irrigation/drainage district, or lateral
users association (ditch owners), with written approval or non-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.
6.
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. 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.
7.
The landscape plan prepared by B & A Engineers, Inc. is approved with. the following
changes/notes:
. Any tree over 4" in caliper that is removed from the property shall be replaced by
installing additional trees, being the equivalent number of caliper inches of trees
that were removed. Required landscaping trees will not be considered as
replacement trees for those trees that are removed (MCC 12-13-13-3). Coordinate
a tree protection/mitigation plan with Elroy Huff at. the Meridian Park
Department.
. The 25-foot wide landscape street buffer along Ustick Road shall be planted with
trees and shrubs, lawn, or other vegetative groundcover, with a minimum density
of one tree per thirty-five linear feet. Trees may be. grouped together. However,
trees shall be spaced no closer than 80% of the average mature width of the trees
(MCC 12-13-10-6 - 7).

Dear Plauners:
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 Klamath Basin Subdivision will have a significant impact on school
enrollments at Ponderosa Elementary. Sawtooth Middle. and Eagle High School.
We can predict that these homes, when completed, will house four (4) elementary aged
children, three (3) middle school aged children, and two (2) senior high aged students.
Additional students will further compound the current overcrowded situation. Residents
caunot 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
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.

Capital Improvements Plan/Five Year Work Program
There are currently no roadways, bridges or intersections in the general vicinity of the project that are
currently in the Five Year Work Program of the Capital Improvements Plan.
B.
Findings for Consideration
Right-ot-Way & Sidewalk
Ustlck Road and Black Cat 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.
1.
Ustick Road and Black Cat Road are not listed as proposed projects in the District's currently adopted
Five- Year Work Program or in the currently adopted 20-year Capital Improvements Plan. As such,
the applicant cannot receive reimbursement for dedicated right-of-way from available collected impact
fees-
Ustick Road
The applicant shall do one of the following:
a. Dedicate by donation an additional 23-feet of right-of-way along Ustick Road, and construct a
minimum 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk along Ustick Road, located a minimum of 41-feet from the
centerline of the right-of-way.
b. Do not dedicate additional right-of-way, but construct a minimum 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk
along Ustick Road, located a minimum of 41-feet from the centerline of the right-of-way, in an
easement provided to the District.
c. Do not dedicate additional right-of-way, but construct a minimum 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk
along Ustick Road, located at the back edge of the existing right-of-way- Accomplish all necessary
adjustments to properly accommodate existing drainage and utilities.
Black Cat Road
When the intersection of Black Cat Roadand Usück Road is widened in the future, the existing
crossing for the Eight Mile Lateral will need to be extended. Therefore, District staff is recommending
that in exchange for not constructing a sidewalk abutting the site on Black Cat Road (less than 50-
feet of frontage) the applicant dedicate 60-feet of right-of-way from the centerline of Black Cat Road
to accommodate the crossing of the Eight Mile Lateral.
Street Sections
Niemann Street
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.
2.
3.
4
The applicant is proposing to construct Niemann Street within the site as a 36-foot street section with
rolled curb, gutter, and a 5-foot concrete sidewalk within 50-feet of right-of-way. This proposal meets
District policy and should be approved with this application.
3.
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:
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 is proposing to extend Niemann Street from the east property line into the site.
Niemann Street was constructed as a stub street with Staten Park Subdivision. This proposal meets
District policy
4.
Turnaround
District policy 7205.2.1 requires turnarounds to be constructed to provide a minimum turning radius of
45-feel.
5.
Other Access
Ustick Road and Black Cat Road are both classified as minor arterial roadways. No access points to
either roadway have been approved with this application. Direct access to Ustick Road and Black Cat

RE:
Land Use Change Application - Klamath Basin Subdivision
Please note the District now requires three (3) sets of plans
Dear Mr. Canning:
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 retum 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 conceming this matter, please feel free to call on me at the District's
office, or John P. Anderson, at the District's shop.
