These conditions shall be considered. in full, unless expressly modified or deleted by motion of the Meridian City Council: APPLICATIONS SUMMARY The applicant, Traditions by Amyx II, LLP, has applied for Annexation and Zoning (AZ), Preliminary Plat (PP) and Conditional Use PermitiPlauned Development (CUP/PD) approval of one-hundred-seventy-five (175) single-family residential building lots and twenty (20) other/common lots on 76.29-acres. (Approximately 3.5 of the 76.29-acres requested for aunexation and zoning are currently being utilized for ACHD storm drain purposes. These storm drain areas, on either side of the proposed entrance to the development from McMillan Road, are being annexed and zoned, but are not part of the submitted preliminary plat.) The site is located on the south side of McMillan Road, one-half mile east of Locust Grove Road. The applicant is proposing to phase the development from north to south in five phases, with Phase I fronting on McMillan Road. - AZ.05.006. pp.{);.ODS. CUP-MOO z,1m1ooH",",No,^ZPP.cm Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council P&Z Hearing Date: March 17, 2005 Page 2 The gross density of the proposed development is 2.4 dwelling units per acre (excluding ACHD storm drain areas). The proposed density is in accord with the proposed R-4 zoning district but does not directly correspond to the Comprehensive Plan which designates this area as "Medium Density Residential". The applicant is requesting a "step" down in density for this development (from medium to low) as allowed by Note 2 on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map. The applicant is also requesting reduced lot frontages as part of the Planned Development. There are twenty-four (24) lots that are below the 80-foot frontage requirement of the R-4 zone (this proposed modification is detailed below). The applicant is not requesting any other modifications to the dimensional standards of the requested R-4 zone (i.e. - building setbacks, lot size, etc.). R-4 Zone: Lot Frontage-Citv Minimum Requirement 80-feet (non cul-de-sac) Proposed* 58-feet (minimum, non cul-de-sac) *The applicant's submittal letter requests a minimum 58-foot frontage requirement per lot. However, the proposed preliminary plat depicts 3 lots (Lot 20, Block 1, Lot 3, Block 2, and Lot 6, Block 7) that have between 41 and 50-feet of frontage. See CUP/PD Special Considerations below for further analysis. The proposed PD amenities include: playground equipment on Lot 1, Block 6; a swimming pool with restroom/locker/changing areas and playground equipment on Lot 5, Block 8; and a multi-use pathway throughout the development. The applicant is also proposing to reserve approximately 8 percent of the site for open space (excluding the channel for the North Slough). The amenities are depicted on the submitted landscape plan, and are described in the applicant's letter accompanying the CUP/PD application. See CUP/PD Special Considerations below for a detailed analysis of the proposed amenities and the design thereof. The subject property is within the Urban Service Plauning Area. The subject applications (AZ, PP and CUP/PD) were submitted concurrently to the Plauning & Zoning Department for review. Staff recommends approval of the subject annexation/zoning (AZ-05-006), preliminary plat (PP- 05-008), and conditional use permit (CUP-05-006) with the conditions outlined in this report. LOCATION The subject site is located on the south side of McMillan Road, one-half mile east of Locust Grove Road, in Section 32, Township 4 North, Range 1 East. This site abuts the corporate limits of Boise City/Meridian Area of Impact to the east. SURROUNDING PROPERTIES North: ACHD storm drain ponds; Austin Creek Subdivision, zoned R-lB (Boise City). South: Single-family homes on large parcels, zoned RUT (Ada County/Boise City AOI). East: Ustick Baptist Church, zoned RUT (Ada County); Madison Park Subdivision No.2, zoned R-lB (Boise City); Single-family home on large parcel, zoned RUT (Ada County); Vacant, Zebulon Heights Subdivision No.1, zoned LO-D (Boise City).

CUP-05.006 Z,b"'cHoigh" Nc.2.AZPPCUP.doo Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council P&Z Hearing Date: March 17,2005 Page 3 West: Settlement Bridge Subdivision, zoned R-8; Heritage Subdivision, Zoned Rl (Ada County). This site borders the eastern most Area of Impact boundary for the City of Meridian. There are two Boise City approved developments abutting this site to the east. Madison Park Subdivision was approved for residential uses and Zebulon Heights No.1 was approved for office uses fronting on Eagle Road and Wainwright Drive. To the west of the site is the recently approved Settlement Bridge Subdivision with R-8 zoning. Heritage Subdivision, a residential development with I-acre lots also abuts the western boundary of the site. Except for some 5-acre plus parcels to the south, and one to the east, the properties surrounding this site have been approved for urban-type development. OWNER OF RECORD The property owner of record is Traditions by Amyx II, LLP. Todd Amyx, a managing member, has provided notarized consent for the subject applications. ANNEXATION & ZONING ANALYSIS According to Meridian City Code (MCC) II-IS-II, General Standards Applicable to Zoning Amendments, both the Plauning & Zoning 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; In Chapter VII of the Comprehensive Plan, 'medium density' is defined as areas including single-family homes at densities of three to eight dwelling units per acre. The applicant is requesting that all the subject site be zoned R-4 (Low Density Residential). The R-4 district allows for a maximum of four (4) dwelling units per acre (MCCll-7- 2.C). Although the requested zoning designation, R-4, allows densities consistent with the medium density Comprehensive Plan designation, the proposed residential density is only 2.4 gross dwelling units per acre. The Comprehensive Plan does allow a one step increase or decrease in residential areas without amending the Comprehensive Plan. Due to the existing one-acre lots in Heritage Subdivision to the west, staff believes that a step down in density is justified here. If the City approves an R-4 zone (and associated PP and CUP applications), the proposed zoning/density will allow a smooth transition from the estate lot sizes in Heritage Subdivision to the urban lots in Madison Park to the east. Further, staff finds the following Goals, Objectives, and Action items contained in the 2002 Comprehensive Plan to be applicable to this application (stcifJ analysis is in italics below policy): AZ-O;-006. Pr-Oj-oos. CUP-Oj.COh Z,o,1o" "",6" NolAZPPCUP,"" Planning & Zoning CommissionlMayor & City Council P&Z Hearing Date: March 17, 2005 Page 4 . "Develop and maintain greenbelts along waterways." (Chapter V, Goal 1, Objective A, Action item 4) The applicant is proposing to leave the North Slough open abutting this site. In accordance with the Comprehensive Plan, the applicant is proposing to construct a Multi-Use Pathway along the slough and throughout the development, thereby enhancing the natural features and the development. (See' detailed analysis in Special Consideration" 1 " below.) . "Require new residential development to meet development standards regarding landscaping, signage, fences and walls, etc." (Chapter VII, Goal I, Objective C, Action item 4) If the applicant complies with the conditions in this report, the development will meet the standards for landscaping, signage, fences and walls outlined in City Code. . "Require useable open space to be incorporated into new residential subdivision plats." (Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective C, Action item 3) The applicant is proposing to set aside approximately 8 percent of the site as useable open space. (See Special Considerations in the. CUP/PD section below for detailed analysis of the proposed open space and amenities) In addition, in the applicant's letter (from Shari Stiles) other Comprehensive Plan policies are listed supporting the annexation and proposed residential use of the property. Staff finds that if the Commission and Council fIrant the aooUcant the requested modifications with the CUPIPD. and the aooUcant comoUes with the conditions included in this reDort. the overall desifIn of the subdivision would be in fIeneral conformance with the Citv of Meridian Comorehensive Plan. B. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be rezoned in the future; Concurrent with the aunexation and zoning application, the applicant has submitted a preliminary plat proposing single-family lots on the subject site (Zebulon Heights No.2 Subdivision, PP-05-008). Staff does not anticipate that the applicant plans to rezone the subject property in the future if the accompanying CUP and PP applications are approved. 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; AZ-05-o06. "-05-008. OUP-O5-o06 Z,b"lo" ",i,hl. Ko.2.AZ."CUP.d" Plauning & Zoning CommissionlMayor & City Council P&Z Hearing Date: March 17,2005 Page 5 Staff finds that the proposed single-family development could be allowed within the requested R-4 zone, if the accompanying Conditional Use Permit for a Plauned Development is also approved. D. 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 finds that other properties in the area have been developed in a manner similar to the proposed subdivision, with single-family dwelling units. Austin Creek Subdivision to the north and Madison Park Subdivision to the east have gross densities of approximately 4 dwelling units per acre. Heritage Subdivision to the south has a residential density of approximately 1 dwelling unit per acre while Settlement Bridge Subdivision has a density of 3.7 dwelling units per acre. There have been no recent street improvements in the area. This section of McMillan Road abutting the site is in ACHD's Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) for road widening in 2015. Locust Grove Road in this area is not currently scheduled within ACHD's Five Year Work Program or Capital hnprovements Plan (CIP) for roadway widening. Other urban services, such as sewer and water, are near to this site and the applicant should be able to extend such services to the site. Staff finds that the subject site is proposed for development in a fashion similar to other properties in the area. E. 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; Staff finds that the requested zoning and proposed density is within the anticipated range for a lower density urban project. Further, based on the Comprehensive Plan, staff believes that some of the existing large county parcels in the area (south and east) will redevelop with similar densities in the near future. Staff also finds that the proposed zoning/uses can be designed and constructed in a manner that will be harmonious with, and appropriate in appearance with, the existing and intended character of the surrounding 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. However, staff does not find that the proposed zoning/uses will not adversely change the essential character of area. Staff recommends that the Corrunission and Council rely on staffs analysis, public testimony received and any corrunents submitted from any other agencies or departments regarding whether this property should be annexed. F. Will the proposed uses not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighboring uses; AZ.0;.006. PP-<MOB. cup.Oj.", z,,"'OO Holgh" No2AZPP CUP d<" Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council P&Z Hearing Date: March 17, 2005 Page 6 The applicant has submitted seventeen (17) front elevations for the proposed dwelling units. Staff believes that the design of the dwelling units will be compatible with the adjoining uses, if the buildings are constructed as shown on the submitted elevations. Staff does not anticipate that the proposed residential uses will be disturbing or hazardous to existing or future uses as long as the conditions outlined in this report are complied with and house construction is conducted in a mauner consistent with City Code. Staff recommends that the Commission and Council rely on public testimony to determine whether the proposed use will be disturbing or hazardous to the 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; Permanent sanitary sewer service to this development is to be provided by the undeveloped North Slough Trunk. Temporarily sewer service will be provided by the Lift Station serving Vienna Woods Subdivision. At this time sewer does not exist at the location the applicant has shown on the preliminary plat. 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. If this application is approved, it shall be subject to availability of the sanitary sewer. The applicant shall also be responsible for any upgrades to the lift station that may be necessary to increase the capacity to handle this development. Water service shall be from extensions of the existing main in E. McMillan Road, and the future phase of Settlement Bridge. The applicant and/or future property owners will be required to pay park and highway impact fees. On March 9, 2005, ACHD approved this development with site-specific and standard conditions. The applicant should comply with all requirements of the ACHD. Please review the ACHD report for additional information regarding this finding. On February 25, 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; AZ-05-006. PP-"5-0OS. CUP-OS.DO6 Z,b,lo" H"gh" N"AZPPCUP.doo Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council P&Z Hearing Date: March 17, 2005 Page 7 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, school facilities and services. Staff finds there will not be excessive additional requirements at public cost and that the proposed aunexation and zoning 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; According to the Traffic Impact Study (TIS) prepared by Washington Group International the proposed project is anticipated to generate 2,368 (including the office portion approved in Boise City). Staff recognizes 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 noise, smoke, fumes, glare, or odors. Staff finds that the proposed residential zoning/uses will not be detrimental to people, property or the general welfare of the area. 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 construct one public street entrance into the site from McMillan Road and extend two other stubs streets from the east. The extension of Rochester Drive from Madison Park Subdivision and Wainwright Drive from Zebulon Heights Subdivision No.1 will cause traffic volumes on the existing portions of the streets to increase. However, the increase in volume is within ACHD acceptable range for local/commercial/collector streets. Please review the ACHD report for this project for additional information regarding this finding. If the proposed vehicular approaches (streets) are approved and accepted 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 Staff finds that there are some existing trees and other mature landscaping on this site. Any existing trees larger than 4" caliper that are removed shall be mitigated for, per the Landscape Ordinance (MCC 12-13-13). The applicant should work with the City Arborist, Elroy Huff, on designing and implementing a protection plan. If any trees are deemed to be a hazard, diseased or dying by the City Arborist, prior to removal, mitigation will not be required for those trees. AZ-OS-O06. PP-1)5.008. cup.os-oo. Z,b,loo H,;,ht, N'.2AZPPCUP'" Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council P&Z Hearing Date: March 17,2005 Page 8 The applicant is proposing to leave the North Slough open abutting the site. Staff believes that the North Slough is a scenic feature that should be protected. See Special Considerations in the Preliminary Plat section of this report for further analysis. Staff finds that the proposed annexation and zoning should not result in the loss or damage of any natural or scenic features, as long as the existing trees are protected/mitigated and the North Slough is relocated and protected in manner that does not negatively impact its beauty. Staff is not aware of any natural or scenic feature(s) that would be lost, damaged or destroyed by allowing this site to be annexed, zoned and developed with residential uses. 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)? The legal description submitted with the application, prepared by Idaho Survey Group, Inc., shows that the property is contiguous to the existing corporate boundary of the City of Meridian. The land directly west of the subject property was previously annexed into the City and this is a logical expansion of the City boundary. 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. ln accordance with the findings listed above, staff finds that the annexation/zoning of this propertv would be in the best interest of the City. SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS (ANNEXA nON) 1. ACHD Storm Drain Areas: As mentioned in the summary, the applicant is proposing to annex the ACHD storm drain ponds along McMillan Road. In order to construct a public street access into this development from McMillan Road the applicant will have to exchange property with ACHD to align the entrance with Camas Creek Avenue in Austin Creek Subdivision to the north. This exchange will require the applicant to reconstruct portions of the existing ponds and improve the McMillan Road frontage (see ACHD staff report). This ACHD requirement will not affect the submitted preliminary plat, but will require the applicant to complete "off-site" improvements. In addition to exchanging property, ACHD staff, City staff and the applicant have discussed improving the southwest comer of the storm drain areas with, the multi-use path. This improvement would make the pathway contiguous with the pathway being constructed in Settlement Bridge to the west (there are approximately 150- feet of the multi-use pathway to connect). Staff recommends that as part of the exchange process with ACHD the applicant improve the multi-use pathway along the North Slough to tie in with the pathway in Settlement Bridge. (NOTE: There is also a small disconnect of the multi-use pathway on the Ustick Baptist Church site. The applicant has provided staff AZ-O5-O06. PP-{)j-OOS. CUP.OS.OD6 Zoiruloo "'¡gh" No2AZPP.CUPdoo Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council P&Z Hearing Date: March 17,2005 Page 9 with a legal description for this pathway and has agreed (via phone) to construct this off- site portion of the pathway too.) ANEXATION & ZONING FACTS AND COMMENTS 1. The legal description submitted with the application (dated 12-9-04, amended 1-25-05, stamped by D. Terry Peugh) shows the property as contiguous to the existing corporate boundary of the City of Meridian and is approved. 2. Any future subdivision, uses and construction on this property shall comply with the City of Meridian ordinances in effect at the time. 3. A Development Agreement (DA) will be required as part of an annexation of this property. Prior to the annexation ordinance approval, a DA shall be entered into between the City of Meridian, the property owner(s) (at the time of annexation ordinance adoption), and the developer. The a¡JPlicant shall contact the Citv Attomev. Bill Narv. at 888-4433 to initiate this process. The DA shall incorporate the following: . That the applicant agrees to construct a continuous multi-use pathway from the west property line throughout the site to the south property line. Further, the applicant agrees to provide the City with all easements and legal descriptions for the portions of the multi- use pathway that are currently off-site (under ACHD ownership and church ownership), prior to final plat signature. That the applicant will be responsible for all costs associated with the sewer and water service extension. Any existing domestic wells and/or septic systems within this project will have to be removed from their domestic service, per City Ordinance Section 5-7-517, when services are available from the City of Meridian. Wells may be used for non- domestic purposes such as landscape irrigation. That all future development of the subject property shall be constructed in accordance with City of Meridian ordinances in effect at the time of development. All future uses shall 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 oftraffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors. . . PRELIMINARY PLAT ANALYSIS 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: A. B. The conformance ofthe subdivision with the Comprehensive Development Plan; Please see Annexation and Zoning Analysis item "A".

CUP-OS-DO6 ,,""10, H,igh" N,2AZPPCU""" Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council P&Z Hearing Date: March 17, 2005 Page 10 Staff finds that public services can be made available to accommodate the proposed development. See Annexation and Zoning Analysis item "G" and "H" for more details. 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 financial capability of supporting services for the proposed development; Staff recommends the Commission and Council rely upon comments from the public service providers (e.g. - police, fire, ACHD, etc.) to detennine this finding. See Annexation and Zoning Analysis item "H" 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 environmental 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. 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 environmental problems of which staff is unaware. SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS (PRELIMINARY PLAT) 1. Stub Streets: There are four County-zoned parcels to the south of the site that have not been approved recently for development. Two of the parcels (5.0-acres and 8.2-acres) were platted with Jasmine Acres Subdivision in 1992. The other two parcels (5.0-acres and 5.2-acres) have not been platted. The applicant is proposing to construct one stub street (Camas Creek Way) to one of the four parcels (the 8.2-acre Ketlinski parcel, Parcel No. R4582530400). When the Ketlinsi parcel develops in the future Camas Creek Way will be extended to tie in with the stub street provided in Champion Park Subdivision to the south. Staff is supportive of the proposed Camas Creek Way stub street. To provide interconnectivity amongst the remaining 5-acre plus parcels and the subject site when they develop, staff believes that the applicant should provide an additional stub street to the south to the 5-acre Wagnild parcel (Parcel No. S0532427810). MCC 12-4-5 requires blocks to be no more than 1,000-feet in length. As shown, Block 10 is over 1,350-feet long. The requirement for a stub street to the Wagnild parcel will alleviate the proposed non-conforming block length and provide interconnectivity to this otherwise landlocked parcel. See Site Specific Condition #2 below. Staff is supportive of the other proposed stub streets and stub street extensions to the east and west. 2. Landscaping: AZ.O;-OOO. PP-1>;-008. cuP.O;.OO' Zd",'oo "..gh" N"-AZ.PP.CUP.do, Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council P&Z Hearing Date: March 17,2005 Page 11 Street Buffers: The Comprehensive Plan designates McMillan Road abutting this site as an entryway corridor. Meridian City Code (MCC) 12-13-10-4 requires a 35-foot wide landscape buffer along all entryway corridors. MCC 12-13-10-2 states that all required street buffers shall be located beyond any street right-of-way and shall be maintained by the property owner upon which the buffer lies. Meridian City Code 12-13-10-8 requires detached sidewalks along all arterial streets in new developments. The minimum width of the parkway area between the curb and the sidewalk is five feet. No fences are permitted within required street buffers. MCC 12-13-10-6 requires street buffers to be planted with trees and shrubs, lawn, or other vegetative groundcover, with a minimum density of one tree per 35 linear feet. Because ACHD currently owns the property adjacent to McMillan Road, staff recommends a modification be granted to the standard 35-foot wide street buffer requirement. Rather than constructing a full 35-foot wide buffer, staff recommends that the applicant coordinate the sidewalk location/construction along McMillan Road with ACHD and install one tree for every 35-feet of frontage on the back side of the McMillan Road sidewalk (outside of the ultimate street section). This requirement will allow the landscaping and sidewalk improvements to be continuous from the Settlement Bridge development to and through this site. The applicant should obtain a license/maintenance agreement from ACHD for said landscape improvements. Unimproved Right-of-Wav: Meridian City Code 12-13-10-9 requires a 10-foot wide gravel shoulder abutting right-of-way where the unimproved portion of the right-of-way is greater than 13 feet (measured from the edge of pavement to the edge of sidewalk or property line), and road widening is not in the ACHD Five Year Work Program. The remainder of the unimproved right-ofcway should be landscaped with lawn or other vegetative groundcover. McMillan Road abutting this site meets the warrants for the lO-foot wide gravel shoulder requirement listed above. Therefore, the applicant should be required to construct a 10- foot wide gravel shoulder on McMillan Road, with the remaining portion of the right-of- way being landscaped with lawn or other vegetative groundcover (as approved by ACHD). Existing Trees: There are several mature trees on the subject site. Any existing trees larger than 4" caliper that are removed shall be mitigated for, per the Landscape Ordinance (MCC 12-13-13). The applicant should work with the City Arborist, Elroy Huff, on designing and implementing a protection plan. If any trees are deemed to be a hazard, diseased or dying by the City Arborist, prior to removal, mitigation will not be required for those trees. Landscape Plan: The submitted 2-page landscape plan prepared by Harvest Design, Inc., dated 1-19-05 is approved as submitted, with the following modifications: a. In accordance with MCC 12-13-10-6, install one tree for every 35-feet of frontage on the McMillan Road right-of-way. AZ-QS-QO6. PP-{)S-O08. CUP-OS-006 Z,b"loo H'¡g"" N,ÜAZ.PPCUP.d" Planning & Zoning CommissionlMayor & City Council P&Z Hearing Date: March 17,2005 Page 12 b. In addition to sidewalk, construct a minimum 10-foot wide gravel shoulder along McMillan Road and landscape the remaining portion of the right-of-way with lawn or other ACHD approved groundcover. c. The applicant shall work with the City Arborist, Elroy Huff, on designing, adopting, and implementing a protection/mitigation plan for the existing trees on site. See Site Specific Condition #3 below. 3. Piping of Ditches: Meridian City Code 12-4-13.A.l requires all irrigation ditches, laterals or canals, exclusive of natural waterways, intersecting, crossing or lying adjacent and contiguous, or which canals, ditches or lateral touch either or both sides of the area being subdivided, to be covered and enclosed with tiling or other covering equivalent in ability to detour access to said ditch, lateral or canal. The applicant is proposing to relocate portions of the North Slough, but it will remain open throughout the development as an amenity (see CUP analysis below for further analysis of the proposed amenities.) 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. The North Slough to the east and west of the site is currently open. With the approval of Settlement Bridge Subdivision to the west, the City waived the requirement to tile the North Slough. Staff believes that if the North Slough were tiled/covered a valuable feature would be lost. Further, if the applicant were to fence the canal, the use of the waterway as a visual amenity would be significantly reduced. Therefore, staff recommends that the applicant not be required to cover/tile (or fence) the North Slough. Tiling and fencing this section of the North Slough will not improve public health, safety, or welfare; it will detract from it. In accordance with Meridian City Code, the applicant should be required to tile or cover any other irrigation ditches, laterals or canals that cross, intersect or lie adjacent to the subject site. See Site Specific Condition #4 below. 4. Pressure Irrigation: 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 shall 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 #5 below. 5. 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 existing house and caunot be located on their own lot without a primary residence. The Al-05-006. PP-<)5-008.

See Special Consideration #1 below for detailed analysis. Staff finds that the subject property is large enough to accommodate the requested use and all other required ordinance features. 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. That the proposed use and development plan will be harmonious with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan and in accordance with the requirements of this Ordinance; Staff finds that the proposed single-family residential subdivision is generallv harmonious with and in accordance with the 2002 Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map, which designates the land to be "Medium Density Residential" (provided the Commission and Council grant the requested plauned development). Please see Annexation & Zoning Analysis "A" above.

Reduced Standards: As stated earlier, the applicant is requesting modifications from standard ordinance requirements for street frontage of the R-4 zone and a modification to allow a gross density below 3 dwelling units per acre. AZ-O5-oo6. PP-o;-008. CUP-O;-OO<\ Z,bo'oo R,i,he, Ko.2.AZ.PPCUPdoo Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council P&Z Hearing Date: March 17,2005 Page 19 Lot Frontage: According to the applicant's letter, the minimum requested street frontage is 58-feet. However there are three lots on the submitted preliminary plat that have between 41 and 50-feet of frontage. Overall, there are twenty-four (24) lots that are below the 80-foot frontage requirement of the R-4 zone. The remaining 151 lots are at or above the minimum street frontage requirement of the proposed R-4 zone. Staff is supportive of reducing the frontage for some of the lots as it provides greater lot diversity. However, staff believes that the minimum street frontage requirement should be reduced to 50-feet, not 41-feet as shown on the preliminary plat. See Site Specific Condition #2 below. Densitv: Although the requested zoning designation, R-4, allows densities consistent with the medium density Comprehensive Plan designation, the proposed residential density is only 2.4 dwelling units per acre. The Comprehensive Plan does allow a one step increase or decrease in residential areas without amending the Comprehensive Plan. Generally staff does not support developments that do not comply with the minimum target density as large-lot developments typically do not provide efficient use of the land. However, due to the existing one-acre lots in Heritage Subdivision to the west, staff believes that a step down in density is justified here. If the City approves an R-4 zone, the proposed zoning/density will allow a smooth transition from the estate lot sizes in Heritage Subdivision to the urban lots in Madison Park to the east. 2. Amenities: MCC 12-6-2.A.3 requires two or more amenities to be provided as part of each plauned development. The proposed amenities for the subject planned development include: playground equipment on Lot 1, Block 6; a swimming pool with restroorn/locker/changing areas and playground equipment on Lot 5, Block 8; and, a multi-use pathway throughout the development. The applicant is also proposing to reserve approximately 8 percent of the site for useable open space (exclusive of the channel for the North Shough). Staff is generally supportive of the proposed site design and amenities. The applicant should work with Meridian Planning & Zoning staff and ACHD staff on some type of striping, signage, or other means to create an efficient multi- use pathway crossings of the public streets (where warranted). See Site Specific Conditions #3 & #4 below. 3. Housing Tvpes: As required with a Planned Development, the applicant has submitted front elevations for the proposed dwelling units. Staff believes that the dwelling units will be compatible with the adjoining uses, if the buildings are constructed as shown on the submitted elevations. Construction within Zebulon Heights Subdivision No.2 should substantially comply with the elevations submitted by the applicant. Construction materials used on the structures should be approved by the City of Meridian Building Department and in accordance with the most recent Building Code. See Site Specific Condition #5 below. SITE SPECIFIC CONDITIONS (CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT/Pm 1.

The traffic impact area includes Idaho 55, also known as State Highway 55, McMillan Road, and Locust Grove Road. . The proposed development is projected to generate an average daily traffic (ADT) of 2,368 vehicles of which the AM peak hour traffic is 229 vehicles per hour and the PM peak hour traffic is 271 vehicles per hour. . As a result of the site build-out, traffic on the vicinity roadways is expected to increase. Traffic on State Highway 55 will increase by 1,001 vpd south of the site, by 465 vpd between the site and McMillan Road, and by 298 vpd north of McMillan Road. Traffic on McMillan Road may increase by 166 vpd east of State Highway 55, by 733 vpd west of State Highway 55, by 901 vpd east of Locust Grove Road, and by 399 vpd west of Locust Grove Road. Traffic on Locust Grove Road may increase by 63 vpd north of McMillan Road and 439 vpd south of McMillan Road. . Zebulon Heights # 1 development is expected to contain approximately 63,000 square feet of general office buildings and is currently under construction with an access to State Highway 55 that aligns with Wainwright Drive. Zebulon Heights # 1 is currently under construction and will be completed in 2005. . Zebulon Heights #2 is expected to contain 175 single-family residenliallots and is proposed to have access to State Highway 55 through Zebulon Heights # l' with an additional access to McMillan Road through an approach that aligns with Camas Creek Avenue in the Austin Creek subdivision. Zebulon Heights # 2 is anticipated to be built out by 2010. . Zebulon Heights #2 has four stub streets to the surrounding existing, proposed, and future developmenls. The stub street to the west will connect to Settlement Bridge Subdivision. The northern stub street to the east will connect to Madison Park Subdivision. The southern stub street to the east connects to the D&G Nursery, and the stub street to the south connects to undeveloped land. . The roadways within the site meet ACHD's requirement of < 1,000 vpd on local roads. The volumes on the stub streets connecting 10 previpusly approved subdivisions were determined empirically and are estimated to be less than 1,000 VTPD. . The intersection of State Highway 55 and McMillan Road is signalized and currently operates at level of service (LOS) E in the AM peak hour and LOS F in the PM peak hour. The traffic volumes projected for the 2010 Background conditions operate at LOS F in both the AM and PM peak hours. Improving the intersection with dual left tum lanes on all approaches, right turn lanes on all approaches, and an additional through lane on both McMillan approaches will improve the 2010 background conditions to LOS 0 in both the AM and PM peak hours. The traffic volumes projected for lhe 2010 build out conditions, with the intersection improvements, operate at LOS 0 in the AM peak hour and LOS E in the PM peak hour. . The site access onto State Highway 55 aligns with Wainwright Drive on the east side of State Highway 55 and will be two-way stop controlled. This intersection warrants a southbound right tum lane on State Highway 55 into the site. This turn lane is designed and is currently under construction as part of the Zebulon Heights # 1 development. This intersection also 2 warrants a northbound left turn lane on State Highway 55 into the site based on ITD's turn lane warrants. State Highway 55 currenlly consists of two through lanes in each direction and a two-way-Ieft turn lane that will serve this approach. The approach operates at LOS F in both the AM peak hour and the PM peak hour. This intersection meets the peak hour signal warrant in the 2010 Build Out condilions. With these improvements and signal control, this intersection will operate at LOS D in both the AM and PM peak hours. . The site access onto McMillan Road aligns wilh Camas Creek Avenue on the north side of McMillan Road and will be two-way stop controlled. This intersection warrants an eastbound right lurn lane on McMillan Road into the site. It also warrants a westbound left turn lane on McMillan Road into the site based on ACHD's turn lane warrants. The approach operates at LOS C in the AM peak. hour and LOS E in the PM peak hour. The left-turns into the site operate at a LOS A in the AM peak hour and the PM peak hour. . The forecast daily build-out volumes for all of the roadways in the vicinity of the project and the Community Planning Association of Southwest Idaho (COMPASS) planning thresholds. All of the roadways build out traffic volumes are less than the COMPASS planning thresholds except for State Highway 55. This roadway is projected to carry increasingly large volumes of traffic in the future. The Idaho Transportation Department is conducting the Idaho 55 State Highway 55 Arterial Study. This study will investigate current and future traffic projections and alternative improvements on Idaho 55. It will outline a proposed plan of action for implementing the improvements to this major arterial. STAFF COMMENTS . The submitted Traffic Impact Study notes that the State Highway 55 and McMillan Road intersection currently operates at level of service (LOS) E in the AM peak hour and LOS F in the PM peak hour. The traffic volumes projected for the 2010 background conditions operate at LOS F in both the AM and PM peak hours, but later notes that the intersection will operate at an acceptable LOS in the future with the addition of dual left turn lanes on all approaches, right turn lanes on all approaches, and an additional through lane on both McMillan approaches. Although the submitted Traffic Impact Study recommends these improvements, the study does not identify who should be responsible for the improvements. Although this condition currently exists, approval of this site will exacerbate the condition. . The McMillan Road and State Highway 55 intersection is included in the District's Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) (as a part of the reconstruction of McMillan Road from State Highway 55 to the Boise Sports Complex). Although the intersection is in the CIP, the intersection is not included in the District Five Year Work Program. The State Transportation Improvements Plan (STIP) has this intersection being reconstructed in 2009. Although the recommendations of the submitted Traffic Impact Study show the need for a 7 by 7 legged intersection before build out of this subdivision (2010), the District's CIP and the STIP identify the intersection being reconstructed as a 5 by 5 legged intersection, which results in a 2-lane deficiency at each leg of the intersection. . The submitted Traffic Impact Study notes that traffic volumes at the intersection of Wainwright Drive and State Highway 55 meet the peak hour signal warrant in the 2010 build out conditions. Although the submitted Traffic Impact Study recommends the signal to provide an acceptable LOS, the study does not identify who should be responsible for the funding, the design and the installation of the signal. . State Highway 55 (north of the site) currently operates at a Level of Service F. This Level of Service exceeds the COMPASS Planning Thresholds. . State Highway 44 (south of the site) currently operates at a Level of Service F. This Level of Service exceeds the COMPASS Planning Thresholds. . Special recommendation to ITD: The main entrance and Stale Highway 55 intersection waITants a northbound left turn lane on State Highway 55 into the site based on ITD's turn lane warrants. 3 4. 5. 5. Site Information: The site is primarily agricultural, but does have two existing single-family residential homes. Description of Adjacent Surrounding Area: a. North: Austin Creek Subdivision b.

Roadway Improvements Adjacent To and Near the Site State Highway 55 (Eagle Road) is improved with 5-traffic lanes. State Highway 55 (Eagle Road) is sporadically improved with sidewalk. McMillan Road is improved with 2-traffic lanes with no curb, gutter or sidewalk abutting lhe site. There is sidewalk located on the north side of McMillan Road that was constructed as a part of Austin Creek Subdivision. 8. Existing Right-of.Way State Highway 55 (Eagle Road) has a total of 128-feet of right-of-way (54-feet from centerline). McMillan Road has a total of 73-feet of right-of-way (25-feet from centerline). 9. Existing Access to the Site The site has access via Walter Lane and Wainwright Drive. 10. Site History The District has not previously reviewed a development application on this site. 11. Capital Improvements Plan/Five Year Work Program This segment of McMillan Road (Eagle Road to Locust Grove Road) is not included in the District's Five Year Work Program, but is included in the District's Capital Improvements Plan. McMillan Road is identified as projects # 72 and 73 and is anticipated to be reconstructed as a 5-lane roadway with vertical curb, gutter, 5-foot detached concrete sidewalks and bike lanes in the year 2015. 4 3. 5 B. Findings for Consideration 1. Improvements McMillan Road District policy requires 7 -foot wide attached (or 5-foot detached) concrete sidewalk on all collector roadways and arterial roadways (7204.7.2). McMillan Road will be improved with sidewalk from Eagle Road to Locust Grove Road with the exception of the Idaho Power site located on the corner of McMillan Ro.ad and Locust Grove Road and the ACHD drainage ponds. /n an effort to provide a continuous pedestrian facility the District would like the applicant to enter into a cooperative development proposal to conslruct sidewalk on McMillan Road abutting the ACHD drainage ponds (approximately 665-feet). By improving the 665- feet of frontage to the east and west of the subdivision's main enlrance, the improvements on McMillan Road will be continuous. The applicant should design and construct the sidewalk on McMillan Road abutting the ACHD storm drainage ponds (approximately 665-feet) to provide continuous improvements abutting the site on McMillan Road. The District will compensate the applicant for the design and construction costs that are associated with the additional 665-linear feet of sidewalk on McMillan Road through the Developer Cooperative Fund. Prior to plans approval, the applicant should enter into a cooperative development agreement for the allocation of costs for the improvements that will be constructed abutting the ACHD storm drainage pond (approximately 665- feet). 2. Roadway Offsets Main Entrance 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, <!epending 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 construct the main entrance, Camas Creeks Avenue, to intersect McMillan Road in alignment with the main entrance into Auslin Creek located on the north side of McMillan Road. District policy requires local roadways intersecting arterial roadways to align with or offset any existing roadway by a minimum of 300-feet. Due to the fact that the roadway is proposed to align with an existing roadway on the north side of McMillan Road, the proposed roadway location meets District policy and should be approved. This roadway is proposed to be located offsite and on a portion of the ACHD Drainage Pond. Staff is recommending that the applicant coordinate a property exchange with lhe District in order to allow the two local roadways intersecting McMillan will align and provide a safe and efficient intersection. Internal Roadwavs District po/icy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 125-feet from another local roadway (measured centerline to centerline). . All of the internal roadways meet or exceed the minimum offsets that are required by District policy. Street Sections Residential.Coliector District policy 72-F1A, 7202.3.2 and 7202.3.5, requires that residential collectors be constructed as 36-foot street sections with curb, gutter and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalks with no front-on housing. The access restrictions for these street segments should be stated on the final plat. Unless otherwise noted, parking should be prohibited on these street segments. Coordinate the signage Program with District staff. The applicant is proposing to construct East Wainwright Drive (from the east property line to Lot 20 Block 10) as a residential collector with no access or front-on housing. The applicant is proposing to construct this segment of Wainwright Drive as a 36-foot street section with vertical curb, gutter and 5-foot concrete attached concrete sidewalks wilhin 50-feet of right-of- way. This street section meets District policy and should be approved with this application. Residential 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. District policy 7204.4.1 states that right-of-way widths for all streets and highways shall not be less than 50-feet wide except in unusual cases. Any request to the District to approve a street with a right-of-way width less than 50 must prove by clear convincing evidence that the facts and circumstances of the development warrant a finding of an exceptional case. The applicant must show that the roadway will be used for residential purposes, there will be no possibility that the street will be extended in the near future and the traffic volumes on the street are not forecast to exceed 200 vehicles per day. District policy7240.4.3 allows a developer to construct a local urban residential street with a reduced width of 29-feet from back-of-curb to back-of-curb with curb, gutter and sidewalk. Policy restricts parking on reduced street sections. 4. . The applicant is proposing to construct the remainder of the local streets as 36-foot street sections with rolled curb, gutter and 5-foot attached concrete sidewalks (or 4-foot detached) within 50-feet of right-of-way. This street section meets District policy and should be approve with this application. The applicanl may construct the two cul-de-sac roadways that extend from Wainwright Drive as 29-foot street sections with vertical curb, gutter and 5-foot concrete sidewalks within 42- feet of right-of-way. Stub Streets District policy 7203.5.1 states that the street design in a proposed development shall cause no undue hardship to adjoining property. An adequate and convenient access to adjoining property for use in future development may be required. If a street ends at the development boundary, it shall meet the requirements of sub section 7205, "non-continuous 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-feet. 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. 6 The applicant is proposing to extend Wainwright Drive into lhe site from the east property line adjacent to the north property line. Wainwright Drive was previously approved and constructed as a part of Zebulon Heights Subdivision #1 and was anticipated to be extended in the future. Staff is supportive of the applicant's proposal. The applicant is proposing to construct a stub street to the south property line approximately 460-feet east of the west property line. This stub street is anticipated to serve the 8.20-acre site that is located directly to the south. Staff is supportive of the applicant's proposal. The applicant is proposing to construct a stub street to the west property line approximately 875-feet south of McMillan Road. This stub street is anticipated to extend a previously approved (but not yet constructed) stub street that was approved as a part of Settlement Bridge Subdivision. Staff is supportive of the applicant's proposal. . The applicant is proposing to extend Rochester Drive from the east property line approximately 138-feet south of the north property line. Rochester Drive was previously approved and constructed as a part of Madison Park Subdivision and was anticipated to be extended in the future. Staff is supportive of the applicant's proposal. . The applicant is proposing to construct a stub street to the east property line approximately 370-feet north of Wainwright Drive. This stub street is anticipated to serve the 7.260-acre site that is located directly to the east. Staff is supportive of the applicant's proposal. In addition to constructing 2-newstub streets and extending 3-previously approved stub streets, the applicant is proposing to provide access to the 7.260, 1.19, 5.0-acre sites located to the east of this site just north of Wainwright Drive, by constructing Wainwright Drive as a "quasi-stub street" that runs along the north property line of this site. By constructing the full street section and placing the right-of-way line abutting these parcels, the parcels will have access to the public transportation system and will have interconnectivity within this area. Staff is supportive of the applicant's proposal to construct the roadway abutting the north property line. 5. Turnarounds District policy 7205.2.1 requires turnarounds to be constructed to provide a minimum tuming radius of 45-feet. . The applicant is proposing to construct six (6) cul-de-sac turnarounds without center islands within the subdivision. The applicant should construct the turnarounds to provide a minimum turning radius of 45-feet. 6. Turn Lanes District policy 3004.1 and MSHTO Guidelines require turn lanes to be constructed on a varying basis contingent upon lhe posted speed limit. Coordinate the design of the turn lane with District staff. Based on the recommendations from the submitted traffic impact study, the applicant should construct an eastbound right tum lane on McMillan Road at the McMillan Road and Camas Creek Way intersection. District policy 3004.1, 72-F8, MSHTO guidelines and the MUTCD guidelines require the turn lane to be constructed to provide a minimum of 100-feet of slorage with shadow tapers for both the approach and departure directions. Coordinate the design of the turn lane with District staff. Based on the recommendations from the submitted traffic impact study, the applicant should construct a westbound left turn lane on McMillan Road at the McMillan Road and Camas Creek Way intersection. 7 7. Right-of-Way and Landscaping of ACHD Property ACHD currently owns a great deal of right-of-way on McMillan Road to lhe easl and the west of the proposed subdivision. The right-at-way was purchased with the intent that the righl-of-way would be utilized in the future as a drainage pond. Since the right-of-way has been acquired, the District has constructed storm drainage ponds within the right-of-way. In 2004, the applicant of the Zebulon Heights Subdivision #2 Subdivision approached ACHD with regard to the location of Camas Creek Way on the north side of McMillan Road and the drainage ponds. The applicant proposed to exchange the existing ACHD right-of-way in alignmenl with Camas Creek Way for the existing frontage on McMillan Road that is slightly offset from aligning with Camas Creek Way on the North side of McMillan Road (creating ACHD right-of-way the entire frontage on McMillan Road). ACHD staff (Design, Drainage, Right-of-Way and Development) notified the applicant that the applicant would be required to dedicate Lot 1 Block 1 to the District and coordinate the design of the pond facilities with District staff to ensure that the reconfigured drainage ponds will have a capacity that is equal to or greater in storage area than the existing ponds and will function at a level that is equal to or greater than what the District had originally designed and the District will have adequate access to the ponds. The applicant has also spoken to the District in regard to landscaping the existing ACHD storm drainage ponds. If the applicant chooses to landscape the storm drainage ponds, the applicant shall obtain a license agreement and have the landscape and sprinkler plan reviewed and approved by the ACHD Drainage Division. «<If the applicant chooses to grass the area around the pond, the applicant shall hydro-seed rather than utilizing sod. C. Site Specific Conditions of Approval 1. Enter into a cooperative development agreement for the allocation of costs for the sidewalk on McMillan Road abutting the ACHD storm drainage ponds (approximately 665-feet.) 2.

Planning and Zoning CommissioIl Re: Zebulon Heights Subdivision Application Prelimirwy Plat ApplicatioIl: PP 05008 Conditional Use Application: CUP 05006 Dear Chairman, I am a home.owner and sit. on 8+ aCTt's on the south side of the proposed Zebulon Heights subdivision. I built my house 11 years ago and have enjoyed the quietness of count!)' living. I have several concerns about the project as proposed: I- If two story homes are built along close to the property line, my privacy will be invaded and my back living area would basically be ruined. I would be forced to e.r('ct either ;¡ t;¡1! fence or some other b;¡rñer to restore it. This solution would not be a good one for either me or the new homeowners. I would prefer that either no two stOry residences be permitted along the shared property line. 2- The canal that runs through the common property line should be tiled for the safety of children in the proposed subdivision. AI; it stands now, there is Jittle Art;"i!:-' in,>nh';n!". !"hi!rlrf'n !".,,"r rh" r.,nÜ ()nre rhe <"hrli"i<;n" !".""< in d", ran,\I will ['~pr~~~11t 11 ~igl1iÎic¡¡l\¡ dnnger. MAR 14 'Ø5 13:35 PAGE. Ø1 lVIar.14. LUU) 1:IIrM No. U4~' ~. L Meridian P & Z March 7, 2005 Page ? Also, the canal on the common boundary to the NoM of my property has leaked into my property causing deep standing water in my pasture. It is impo.~~ihle to use my tractor along my ff'.nC'e line during the irrigMion Se~SI)n. H this problem is not addressed now, the new homeowners will find themselves with water intruSion intO their houses and the reswûng mold. This has been a problem for subdivisions throughout the Treasure VaHey and the correCl fix is to address the canal leakage before the homes are built. This fix will also benefit my property. 3- A quality masonxy fence at least six foot tall showd separate the proposed subdivision and Jasmine acres subdivision to avoid problems betWeen our re$peC'tive subdivisions. I realize that the developments in my area will impact my quality of living and that I am no~ likely to be able to stop the deveìopmenl. In the inLeresl of creating a good neighborly relationship in the beginning. rather than addressing problems after they arise, I wowd ask that my concerns be considered and that some reasonable restrictions be placed on the development for everyone's benetìt. s~ ç:~ MRR 14 '05 13:35 PRGE.02 RECEIVED MAR'; 12005 City of Meridian ~ City CI~Offíce ~&~-/~V~ 1503 FIRST STREET SOUTH NAMPA, IDAHO 83651-4395 FAX # 208-463-0092 23 February, 2005 phones: Acea Code 208 OFFICE: Nampa 466-7861 SHOP: Nampa 466-0663 William G.
