City of Meridia~ City Clerk Re: StaffLevel Approval Amberstone Subdivision Cherry Lane s/o Summertree Way subdivision PP-02-002/AZ02-003/MAZ02-001 19-lot residential Facts and Findings: The Ada County Highway District (ACHD) staff has received the above referenced application requesting annexation, rezone and preliminary plat approval to construct a 19-lot residential subdivision on 3.84 acres. The 3.84-acre site is located on the south side of Cherry Lane approximately ½ of a mile west of Ten Mile Road. This development is estimated to generate 148 additional vehicle trips per day (0 existing) based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Gen~ation Manual. The application and site plan stamped and received by City of Meridian on February 13, 2002, and submitted to the District on February 18, 2002, has been reviewed by the ACHD Planning and Development staff and conforms to applicable District standards/policy, or can be made to conform with the change(s) to the plan described in the requirements stated below. This is a staff level approval and will not be heard by the ACHI) Commission unless the site plan is changed in such a manner as to not conform to District standards/policy or an appeal of the Planning and Development staff decision is submitted as described within the Standard Requirements outlined below. On February 18, 2002, the District Planning and Development staff inspected this site and evaluated the transportation system in the vicinity. On February 22, 2002, the staff met as the District's Technical Review Committee and reviewed the impacts of this proposed development on the District's transportation system. The results of that analysis constitute the following Facts and Findings and recommended Site Specific Requirements. Amberstone Subdivision.sla Page 1 Gm Development patterns in the surrounding area are single-family residential. To the north of the site is Golf View Estates Subdivision. To the south and west of the site is Rod's Parkside Creek Subdivision. To the east of the site is the proposed Hearthstone Subdivision. Based on development patterns in this area and the resulting traffic generation, staff anticipates that the transportation system will be adequate to accommodate additional traffic generated by this proposed development. On February 20, 2002, the Commission heard a modification of policy request from the developer of Hearthstone Subdivision. Hearthstone Subdivision is a 2-lot residential subdivision that is located directly east of this development. The developer of Hearthstone Subdivision requested a modification of policy to allow the existing circular driveway for Lot 1, Block 1 on Cherry Lane to remain. The Commission made a formal action to allow Lot 1, Block 1 of Hearthstone Subdivision to utilize the existing circular driveway on Cherry Lane until that property should redevelop. If Lot 1, Block 1 of Hearthstone Subdivision should redevelop (pull a building permit for a structure other than a garage or storage shed) Lot 1, Block 1 would than take access to the proposed Summertree Way. The applicant is proposing to construct the main entrance to the subdivision, Summertree Way, located at the east property line. This location aligns with Summertree Way on the north side of Cherry Lane. Because the proposed roadway aligns with an existing roadway, the roadway meets District policy and is approved with this application. The applicant should construct Summertree Way as a full 29-foot street section with curb and gutter on both sides of the roadway and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk on the west side of Summertree Way within 40-feet of fight-of-way. The applicant is proposing to construct Thorncreek Way as a reduced street section: The District accepts local residential public roads with a 29-foot street section with parking prohibited on one side, if the amount of vehicle trips per day on the street does not exceed 200. The proposed density of development that will utilize each of the above-mentioned streets will generate less than 200 vehicle trips per day. These interior streets may be constructed with a 29-foot street section with curb, gutter and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk within 42-feet of right of-way. Parking should be restricted on one side of each of the roadways. A signage plan should be submitted for review and approval by Planning and Development staff. The applicant is proposing to construct a large common lot within the public fight-of-way. Any proposed landscape islands/medians within the public right-of-way dedicated by this plat should be owned and maintained by a homeowners association. Notes of this should be required on the final plat. The applicant is proposing to construct a one-way street around the large common lot that is located in the center of Summer tree Way. The Traffic Services Department has expressed a need for a two-way roadway in this area due to the fact that a one-way would be difficult to Amberstone Subdivision. sla Page 2 enforce and there is a limited amount of parking in the area. The applicant should be required to construct the traffic island be designed to safely channel traffic with a two-way configuration. The roadway around the traffic island should maintain a minimum of a 29-foot street section within 40-feet of right-of-way. The design should be reviewed and approved by ACI-ID's Planning and Development staff. re The applicant is proposing to construct a non-circular turnaround at the east end of Thorncreek Place. The District will consider alternatives to the standard turnaround on a case-by-case basis. This will be based on mining area, drainage, maintenance considerations and the written approval of the emergency fire service for the area where the development is locate. Submit a design of the turnaround for review and approval by District staff. The following Site Specific Requirements and Standard Requirements must be met or provided for prior to ACHD approval of the f'mal plat: Site Specific Requirements: Construct the main entrance to the subdivision, Summertree Way, located at the east property line, as proposed. This location aligns with Summertree Wayon the north side of Cherry Lane.

Ordinance Amendments to the Meridian Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances by Jim Jewett and B & A Engineers We have reviewed this submittal and offer the following comments: APPLICATION SUMMARY The Applicant, Jim Jewett, has submitted proposed amendments to the existing Zoning Ordinance (Title 11) and the Subdivision Ordinance (Title 12). The proposed amendments' primary focus is on providing development standards for single-family attached dwelling units to encourage innovative developments, along with eliminating confusing or ambiguous language within the two ordinances regarding development standards for different types of housing. COMMENTS After reviewing the proposed amendments, the Planning and Zoning staff suggested revisions to the Zoning Ordinance Amendment. Those revisions were incorporated into the applicant's request, and a revised copy of the amendments is attached. The following summarizes changes to the applicant's original submittal and provides commentary on some of the issues related to the application: 1. Some of the section references were to a previous version of the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances. These references have been corrected. 2. The existing definition for Townhouse or Row House has been amended from that originally proposed by the applicant. 3. The duplex minimum size and garage requirement has been clarified to indicate minimums are per unit. Zero-lot-line Building Lots has been revised to specify side yard setbacks and add a provision to allow consideration of zero-lot-line building lots in the R-8 zone as part of a planned development. Mayor and Council April 3, 2002 Page 2 Common Drive Design Standards has been revised to specify driveways must be built to Ada County Highway District local road standards with regard to gravel base, pavement depth and compaction testing. Construction of these driveways should be required as a condition of the final plat before occupancies are given for the development. 6. Three-family Dwellings and Multi-family Dwellings have been removed from the Zoning Schedule of Use Control, as they are covered under other designations. 7. Staff has recommended that the minimum lot area per unit for duplex and single-family attached dwellings be reduced to 4,000 square feet. 8. Note (5)under the Zoning Schedule of Bulk and Coverage Controls clarifies that street frontages are per lot. ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS The proposed reduction of the two- (2) car garage requirement to a one- (1) car garage requirement for duplexes and attached single-family dwellings will require the City to accept tandem parking as an acceptable form of parking. For example, the Meridian City Code requires single- or multiple-family dwellings to provide two off-street parking spaces for each dwelling unit. If one parking space is within the garage, the other parking space will be directly behind the garage, thus requiring the car in the driveway to move anytime the car in the garage needs to be driven. Tandem parking is not prohibited by Meridian City Code; however, the Planning and Zoning Commission has recently denied tandem parking within Valerie Heights (an apartment complex on the comer ofTen Mile and Pine Street)and within Resolution Business Park (Overland Road). Staff recommends that tandem parking be looked upon favorably when tandem parking is created by a garage and a driveway and when on-street parking is available. Staff supports the proposed reduction in front yard setbacks from twenty feet (20') to fifteen feet (15') for living areas only. Staff supports adding frontage standards for flag lots to the Schedule of Bulk and Coverage Controls, as proposed. Staff supports shared driveways for up to four dwelling units.
