SUBJECT: H-2020-0012
PROJECT NAME: Cedarbrook Subdivision
POLICE DEPARTMENT SUMMARY OF REPORT:
1. Police Response Time-
The proposed Cedarbrook development application is approximately 5 miles from the Meridian Police
Department. This development is near the edge of the annexed city limits so there is currently no
emergency response data to provide on this application. What data is given comes from the Ada County
Sheriff’s Department that has little to no calls for service in this geographic area. The average emergency
response time in the City of Meridian is just under 4 minutes. Emergency calls are defined as an
emergency response with lights and sirens and driving as authorized for an emergency vehicle. The
Meridian Police Department response time goal for emergencies is within 3-5 minutes.
Between 2/1/2019- 1/31/2020, the Meridian Police Department responded to 0 calls for service within a
mile of the proposed development. The crime count on the calls for service was 0. See attached
documents for details.
Between 2/1/2019- 1/31/2020, the Meridian Police Department responded to 0 crashes within a mile of
the proposed development. See attached documents for details.
2. Accessibility –
The Meridian Police Department has no concerns with access into the proposed development. All shared
driveways shall have address signs at each entrance and the roadways shall be maintained for police
response.
3. Resource needs
This proposed development is near the edge of the city limits however, the Meridian Police Department
can service this development if approved. The Meridian Police Department already serves this geographic
area with Biltmore, Brundage and Stapleton to the east and Edgehill, Kentucky Ridge, Preakness and Fall
Creek to the north. As of now, no additional resources are required at this time.
4. Other comments-
The Meridian Police Department has no outstanding issues concerning this development application.
All qualified open space provided in the development, to include all amenities, must be in an open area in
order to allow for natural observation opportunities. Pathways and landscaping should not create hiding
spots or blind spots that would promote criminal opportunities.
The Meridian Police Department will support all Community Development Staff recommendations,
Traffic Impact Studies from ITD and or ACHD to improve access, roadways, intersections, pathways and
sidewalks before the project if fully completed.
