These conditions shall be considered in full, unless expressly modified or deleted by motion of the Meridian City Council: APPLICATION SUMMARY & LOCATION The applicant, G. L. Voigt Development Company, has requested [mal plat approval for the first phase of Ventana Subdivision consisting of 79 single-family residential building lots and 10 common lots on 26.03 acres in an R-8 zone.

This phase is located approximately 1/2 mile north of McMillan Road on the east side of N. Meridian Road, in the SW 'A of SectiorßO, TAN., R.lE. A Conditional Use Perrnit/Planned Development was approved for this subdivision which allowed for reductions to the minimum requirements for the R-8 zone for the following: lot size (from 6,500 s.f. to 6,388 s.f.), lot frontage (from 65' to 40' & cul-de-sacs from 40' to 35', measured at chord length), and to exceed the maximum block length allowed of 1,000-ft. to 1,760-ft. Amenities proposed with this phase of Ventana Subdivision include a clubhouse & swimming pool and a multi-use pathway. Exhibit "A" Mayor & City Council Hearing Date: May 3, 2005 Page 2 of 5 Some lots in Block 4 were reconfigured and two building lots along with a common area lot were added. The applicant states that the two building lots were removed from a future phase to the south-west of this phase and added to phase 1; however, there won't be an overall increase in building lots. Staff has no objection to this change. The applicant provided staff a revised layout for the entire preliminary plat; this revised layout substantially complies with the approved Preliminary Plat. The submitted fmal plat still substantially complies with the approved Preliminary Plat. Staff recommends approval of the final plat for Ventana Subdivision No.1 with the comments and conditions stated in this report.

The subdivision designer is responsible for coordinating main sizing and routing with the Public Works Department. This proposed development is currently not serviceable by the City of Meridian's sanitary sewer system. Proceeding through the approval process is strictly the risk of the applicant. The City of Meridian does not guarantee sewer service within the development time frames outlined in Meridian City Ordinance. 2. Submit compaction test results to the Meridian Building Department for any building pads within lots receiving engineered backfill. 3. All fencing must be in compliance with MCC 12-4-10 and 12-13-15-9.
