Community Planning Joe,

Permitting The City of Meridian has requested feedback regarding the annexation of 10.5
Strategic Planning acres at 5875 S. Eagle Road for the proposed McKay Farm Subdivision, which
will include 42 single-family homes and have an overall density of four dwelling
Ada County Commissioners units per acre. Ada County is in support of the application due to the proximity of
Diana Lachiondo,First District
Rick Visser,Second District the site to public services and infrastructure.
Kendra Kenyon, Third District
The application is in compliance with the Ada County Comprehensive Plan as
Goal 2.2f encourages residential development to occur at urban densities within
Areas of City Impact where urban public facilities are available. The proposed
subdivision is also in conformance with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan, as
adopted by the County, as it designates the property as Medium Density
Residential, in which a density of between three to eight dwelling units per acre is
allowed.
The layout of the subdivision also complies with several goals of the Meridian
Comprehensive Plan. The proposal to provide 1.26 acres of common open space is
supported by Goal 3.07.02F as it calls for common areas to be provided within
subdivisions, and with Goal 2.01.O1B which encourages opportunities for physical
activities to be provided. The street trees and landscaping proposed along Eagle
Road comply with Goal 2.01.02E which calls for landscaping and street buffers
along entryway corridors, and the proposal to not take access onto Eagle Road
complies with Goal 3.03.02N as it calls for the reduction of access points onto
arterial streets. The sidewalk which is proposed throughout the development and
along Eagle Road also complies with Goal 3.07.02C, which encourages new
development to provide pedestrian accesses that link subdivisions together and
promote neighborhood connectivity.
Thank you for this opportunity to provide feedback.
Sincerely,
