Hello, Would you please place this in the Public Comments folder for Delano application? Thank you in advance! We appreciate your assistance via Zoom this past Tuesday! That went rather well. I hope you keep the Zoom option for public meetings, for those that cannot attend in person. That would save a lot of citizens from having to make arrangements for sitters, etc. Alpine Pointe presenters City Council May 12, 2020 meeting From: Mike and Malissa Bernard Sent: Tuesday, May 12, 2020 8:36 AM To: City Clerk Cc: 'mmbernard1@msn.com' Subject: For DELANO PDF of PowerPoint for Alpine Pointe presentation Good morning!

There is one chance to get this right. ACHD accepted a CLOSED cul-de-sac for Dashwood in 2005 REASONS FOR DASHWOOD: City Staff Suggestion for conditions that does not exist. A “landlocked” Bollinger parcel does not exist today, nor does a long block face, nullifying the reasons for creating N Dashwood Pl as a “stub” and it was NEVER SIGNED as a road to be continued March 17, 2005. E Lacewood Dr E Grandillo Dr N CAMAS CREEK Destined to be MID-Mile COLLECTOR Settlers Bridge Access to Collectors is to be spaced 330’ yet Lacewood to Wagon St at Camas Creek is only 165 ft, Granadillo to Wagon St is only 130 ft---unsafe for a Collector such as N Camas Creek. There should never be a mid- mile collector connection here due to this unsafe situation. ACHD collector access measurements did not apply between Rosepoint and Dashwood on collector Wainwright---a mere 183 feet of separation. IF YOU CONNECT DASHWOOD TO DELANO THIS WILL BE A SERIOUS and DANGEROUS SCENARIO…THERE IS NOT ENOUGH SAFE SEPARATION DISTANCE FOR THAT VOLUME of TRAFFIC. It was likely accepted in 2005 since N Dashwood Pl was designed as a limited traffic cul-de-sac that was expected to generate under 100 vehicle trips daily. Measurement Tool at Ada County Assessor Land Records Search 540 ft distance between Dashwood to new Collector Centrepoint. Why add Dashwood? This is only 183 Feet from ROSEPOINT--- UNSAFE for Collector Access Point Distance Collector Street Access standard is 330 Feet Centerline to Centerline Ada County and City of Meridian are tied to Street Naming Conventions by CODE Ada County https://adacounty.id.gov/assessor/wp-content/uploads/sites/34/StreetNamingGuide.pdf Title 8: Public Ways and Property, City of Meridian Uniform Street Naming Chapter 2, 8-2-6 https://weblink.meridiancity.org/WebLink/DocView.aspx?id=45658&dbid=0&repo=MeridianCity&searchid=70479cbc- 4801-49b0-ade7-f28a56d2e6ea City of Meridian Ordinance No. 271 YEAR 1974 12 88 “PLACES” around the Valley, old and new subdivisions, located mostly in Meridian, with some in Ada County and Boise--PLACES are DEAD-ENDs as Cul-de-Sacs, Snoopies, Hammerheads & Donuts. Ada County and Meridian City defines Place as Cul-de-sac or Dead-end. This has been a policy for decades. Note: W Grey Towers is named a “DRIVE”, and it is signed to for continuation as well New Meridian neighborhood of Sky Mesa. These round turnabouts are currently signed to be continued, and they are designated with a “DRIVE” or “WAY” name S Marsala Way E HYPER DR N Tricia is named a “WAY” and is signed to be continued in the future as a stub City Council has the Authority to waive 11-3A-3: ACCESS TO STREETS. CLOSE N Dashwood Pl to through vehicular traffic, in perpetuity. This has occurred before with the closure of “stub” streets in the past, via City Council decision. City Utilities exist on the Bollinger Parcel Dashwood is not necessary for DELANO Water Bollinger DASHWOOD “STUB” streets that did not connect. DVORAK and BARCLAY (Three Corners Ranch), UPRIVER (W of Ten Mile, S of McMillan), and ALASKA (by Stoddard, Meridian, and Overland) “PLACE” means cul-de-sac/dead-end •In conclusion, if PLACE is defined in most USA cities and towns as a closed court, dead-end, or cul-de-sac then it is feasible for anyone to see a roadway that ends in a circle and is named PLACE is a cul-de-sac, especially without a sign…signs are REQUIRED. •Furthermore, REALTORS and Land agents refer to naming conventions in CODE to inform clients of a roadway status. COURT and PLACE means DEAD-END or CUL-DE-SAC. •Close N DASHWOOD PL to through traffic, in perpetuity. This will avoid a twin de facto Commercial Collector situation. SPACE SAVER SANDI KING 21 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 7 SPACE SAVER KEN CLIFFORD Dashwood was originally a closed cul-de-sac (red circle) approved by ACHD March 17, 2005 Staff suggests Dashwood as a “stub” for a “landlocked” parcel Centrepoint Shopping area was not built then, so there was no Centrepoint Stub in 2005. The Centrepoint stub is at the Bollinger/Cook parcel today. There is no non-conforming block length. This is pre-commercial collector concept at Centrepoint/Wainwright as well. N Dashwood modified to allow driveway to Wagnild parcel should it become “landlocked.” INFILL AREA INFILL IMPACTS Small City Traffic Densities proposed for this area could result in a population exceeding 3,000 people; the size of McCall, ID with about 3,350 people. 275,550,306 square feet (640 acres) in a square mile. In-fill section is only 54 acres or one twelfth (1/12) of one square mile. McCall is 6,325 acres or 9.884 square miles. McCall area is 117 times larger than the infill area; yet both will have similar populations. WEST ADA SCHOOL DISTRICT Over-Capacity Schools In their letter dated April 16, 2019, West Ada School District recommended that the City of Meridian deny the Application for Delano Subdivision. Of the three schools that will be impacted by the Delano project, two were already over-capacity a year ago. Discovery Elementary: 515 (enrollment); 650 (capacity) = 135 under Heritage Middle School: 1,254 (enrollment); 1,000 (capacity) = 254 over (125%) Rocky Mountain High School: 2,448 (enrollment); 1,800 (capacity) = 648 over (136%) Follow Up: Owyhee High School at Ustick and McDermott will not open until fall 2021; projected to be over capacity the day it opens. New elementary school at Black Cat and McMillan will open fall 2020 No middle schools are in progress or planned SPACE SAVER Laura Trairatnobhas ALPINE POINTE Laura Trairatnobhas Slide #1 Laura T.
