Page 1 HEARING DATE: 5/21/2019 TO: Mayor & City Council FROM: Kevin Holmes, Associate Planner 208-884-5533 Bruce Freckleton, Development Services Manager 208-887-2211 SUBJECT: H-2019-0039 Movado Subdivision No. 5 LOCATION: Approximately ¼ mile south of E. Overland Rd. on the west side of S. Movado Way, in the W ½ of the NE ¼ of Section 21, Township 3N., Range 1E. I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Applicant proposes a final plat consisting of forty (40) single family residential building lots and three (3) common lots on 7.44 acres of land in the R-15 zoning district. This is the fifth phase of development of the Movado Subdivision. NOTE: The applicant is including the re-platting of three (3) residential building lots (Lots 56-58, Block 3) originally recorded with Movado No. 2. II. APPLICANT INFORMATION A. Applicant: Movado Development, LLC – 4824 W. Fairview Ave., Boise, ID 83706 B. Owner: Same as applicant C. Representative: Same as applicant III. STAFF ANALYSIS The subject property was included in the Movado Subdivision preliminary plat. STAFF REPORT COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT Page 2 The minimum property size in this phase of development is 4,628 square feet (s.f.) with an average size of 6,056 s.f. In phase one of the Movado Subdivision, 15.41 acres of open space were installed, for a total of 15% of the entire subdivision. No additional open space or amenities are proposed with this phase. Lots proposed in this phase are for single-family detached and attached homes and must comply with the dimensional standards of the R-15 zoning district listed in UDC Table 11-2A-7 as follows: Staff has reviewed the proposed final plat for substantial compliance with the approved preliminary plat in accord with the requirements listed in UDC 11-6B-3C.2. This includes the review of the additional three (3) lots that were originally recorded with the Movado Subdivision No. 2 (Lots 56- 58, Block 3). The proposed final plat depicts the same number of building lots and the inclusion of the three lots does not increase the lot count approved with the preliminary plat (see Exhibit A and B). Therefore, Staff finds the proposed final plat in substantial compliance with the approved preliminary plat as required. IV. DECISION Staff recommends approval of the proposed final plat within the conditions noted in Section VIII of this report. Page 3 V. EXHIBITS A.
