A. Applicant:

Boise, Idaho 83713
B. Owner:

IV. STAFF ANALYSIS
The proposed final plat is a re -subdivision of Lot 1, Block 16 in the Redfeather Estates Subdivision No.
2. The final plat depicts six (6) building lots, and six (6) common area lots on 3.08 acres of land in the
R-4 zoning district. Development is required to comply with the dimensional standards of the R-4
zoning district listed in UDC Table 11-2A-5.
Staff has reviewed the proposed final plat for consistency with the approved preliminary plat and found
there are the same number of building lots and four (4) additional common lots as were depicted on the
preliminary plat. Because the number of building lots has stayed the same and the number of common
lots has increased, Staff finds the proposed final plat to be in substantial conformance with the approved
preliminary plat per the standards listed in UDC 11 -6B -3C.2.
The applicant is proposing to construct a common driveway within Lot 4 extending west from W.
Alicia St. to access five (5) of the six (6) lots. The common driveway is large enough to accommodate
a fire department turnaround and shall be constructed per UDC 11 -6C -3D. The City Council granted
a waiver to UDC 11-3A-3 to allow the existing home on Lot 7 direct access to E. Granger Avenue via
an existing driveway.
The applicant is proposing a pathway within a common lot (Lot 9), extending from E. Granger
Avenue to the common driveway. The pathway will provide pedestrian connectivity and will act as an
access drive for the City to perform maintenance of the utility mains within the proposed 30 -foot
utility easement.
V. DECISION
A. Staff:
Staff recommends approval of the proposed final plat with the conditions of approval in Section
VII of this report.
