Annexation and Zoning of 40.36 Acres fxom RUT (Ada County) to R-4 (Low
Density Residential), by Winston Moore (File No. AZ-O2-OOD.
Preliminary Plat Approval of 152 Residential Building Lots and 6 Other Lots
on 40 Acres on Land Requested to be Rezoned to R-4, by Winston Moore
(File No. PP-02-O08).
A Conditional Use Permit for a Planned Development on 40 Acres to Allow
Reduced Lot Sizes, Reduced Frontage Requirements, Reduced Setbacks and
Reduced Home Sizes, by Winston Moore (File No. CUP 02-010)
We have reviewed the aforementioned applications and now offer the following comments,
as conditions of approval. These conditions shall be considered in full, unless expressly
modified or deleted by motion of the Meridian City Council:
APPLICATIONS SUMMARY
The Applicant, Winston Moore, has requested the annexation and zoning of a 40.36 acre infill
parcel of land on the east side of Linder Road, north ofi-84. The land is presently vacant pasture
and is zoned RUT (Ada County). The Applicant has requested that all of the subject property be
zoned to R-4.
The Applicant's preliminary plat request is for 152 detached, single family building lots, two (2)
large common area lots, a micropath lot, and three (3) landscaped lots. The proposed density is
3.80 d.u./acre. The plat includes 4.17 acres of usable open space, or 10.44% of the gross land
area. An additional 2.78 acres of the site (6.9%) is required landscaped area. Two of the
subdivision streets (Rainbow Trout Ave. and Brook Trout Dr.) are proposed as 29-foot street
sections with restricted parking. No attached dwelling units are being proposed within the
subdivision-all are detached.

The Applicant has also requested approval of a Conditional Use Permit for a Planned
Development (PD) in order to allow alternative development standards, including reduced side
building setbacks, reduced lot sizes, reduced lot frontages and reduced dwelling sizes. The
following is a side-by-side comparison of the City's minimum R-4 requirements and the reduced
requirements that have been proposed by the Applicant through the PD application:

The Applicant is also proposing two narrow streets at a 29-foot street section, which varies from
the standard 36-foot width. All street sections would still be placed within 50 feet of-public
right-of-way. The reduced street sections are not a part of the PD request as the City's
Subdivision Ordinance allows any public streets that comply with ACHD policies (Ord. 12-4-
2.C.1). The 29-foot wide section is allowed under ACHD's policy for streets where the average
trips per day does not exceed 1,000.
LOCATION
The property is generally located at the ½ mile between Franklin and Overland Roads on the east
side of S. Linder Road. The property extends approximately ¼ mile to the east and is within
Section 13 ofT. 3N, R. 1W.
SURROUNDING PROPERTIES
North: The Landing Subdivision #7, zoned R-4.
South: 1-84 abuts the emire south boundary. Vacant land, zoned I-L, is directly south ofi-84.
East: The Landing Subdivision #9 and #10, zoned R-4.
West: Primrose Subdivision, zoned R-1 (Ada County). The majority of the lots in this county
subdivision range between .5 to 1 acre in size.

ANNEXATION & ZONING ANALYSIS
According to Ordinance 11-15-11, General Standards Applicable to Zoning Amendments, both
the P&Z Commission and Council are required "to review the particular facts and circumstances
of each proposed zoning amendment in terms of the following standards and shall fred adequate
evidence answering the following questions about the proposed zoning amendment."
The following is the list of standards found in 11-15-11 and analysis by staff.'
"A.
Will the new zoning be harmonious with and in accordance with the
Comprehensive Plan and, if not, has there been an application for a
Comprehensive Plan amendment;
Staff f'mds that the requested zoning designation of R-4 is harmonious with and in
accordance with the adopted Comprehensive Plan and Generalized Land Use
Map, which designates the land to be "Mixed/Planned Use Development". This
classification allows for single family residential uses, but only under a Planned
Development application. Existing single family uses abut the subject parcel on
three (3) sides. The Generalized Land Use Map does show a potential park and
school site in this location, symbols which are intended to be "floating" in nature
and would be encouraged should either the Parks & Recreation Department or
school district require facilities in this area. However, to Staff's knowledge,
neither the Parks & Recreation Department nor the school district have expressed
a need or interest for facilities in this area.
Has there been a change in the area or adjacent areas which may dictate that
the area should be rezoned. For example, have the streets been widened, new
railroad access been developed or planned or adjacent area being developed
in a fashion similar to the proposed rezone area;
Staff finds that the adjacent Landing Subdivision, platted and constructed within
the past six (6) years with standard City and ACHD improvements, would dictate
that the abutting property be similarly zoned and developed. The Hark's Comer
commercial development at the southwest comer of Linder and Franklin, about lA
mile to the north, also provides neighborhood-type services within a reasonable
distance fi:om the site. The Comprehensive Plan also encourages infill parcels to
be annexed and developed.
Will the proposed uses be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to
be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing or intended
character of the general vicinity and that such use will not change the
essential character of the same area;
AZ-02-007, pP -02-008, CUP02-010 Marlin Sub. AZ. PP.CUP
Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council
April 30, 2002
Page 4
Staff finds that the general vicinity provides a mix of services and standard City-
size and rural residential lots. The intended character of the vicinity, as noted on
the Generalized Land Use Map, is for a mix of uses, including housing, and it is
assumed that other compatible, residential services would be permitted in the area
as well. Staff finds that the proposed uses can be designed and constructed in a
manner that will be harmonious with and appropriate in appearance with the
existing and intended character of the surrounding area.
Will the proposed uses not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future
neighboring uses;
The Commission and Council should rely on public testimony to determine
whether or not the proposed use will be disturbing or hazardous to the
neighboring uses.
Staff does not anticipate that the proposed uses will be hazardous or disturbing to
future or existing neighbors.
Will the area be served adequately by essential public facilities and services
such as highways, streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures,
refuse disposal, water, sewer or that the person responsible for the
establishment of proposed zoning amendment shah be able to provide
adequately any of such services;
Staff finds that the subject property will be served adequately by all essential
public facilities and services, assuming the Meridian Fire Department responds
favorably and considers this a serviceable area. The Ada County Highway District
staff has recommended approval of the project. Linder Road, Franklin to Cherry
Lane, is scheduled for construction in 2007 (or later) as a 3-lane urban street.
Will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public
facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of
the community;
Staff finds that there will not be additional requirements at public cost and that the
annexation and zoning will not be detrimental to the community's economic
welfare.
Gw
Will the proposed uses not involve uses, activities, processes, materials,
equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any
persons, property or the general welfare by reason of excessive production of
traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors;
Staff finds that the proposed uses will create additional traffic, especially on
Linder Road. However, staff does not believe that the increase in traffic will be
excessive. ACHD staff have determined that the existing road system should
AZ-02-007, Pp -4)2-00~ CUP02-010 Marlin Sub. AZ. PP.CUP
Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council
April 30, 2002
Page 5
adequately accommodate the new traffic. Staff does not anticipate that the
proposed development will generate traffic, noise, smoke, odors or other
nuisances that would be detrimental to the general welfare of the surrounding
area.
He
Will the area have vehicular approaches to the property which shall be so
designed as not to create an interference with traffic on surrounding public
streets;
Staff f'mds that the proposed vehicular approach on Linder Road should not
appreciably interfere with traffic on the surrounding streets, beyond which the
roadway can handle. The existing stub street fxom The Landing Subdivision, W.
Verbena Drive, will create additional traffic, but the majority of the traffic is
anticipated to be westbound out of the subdivision, not through The Landing.
Linder is a two-lane roadway with curb, gutter and sidewalk along the majority of
the east side between the subject parcel and Franklin Road. A future overpass is
planned but not scheduled, so all Linder traffic exiting the subdivision will be
northbound only for the foreseeable future.
Ada County Highway District's comments should be considered when making
this finding.
Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic
feature of major importance; and
Staff f'mds that no natural or scenic features of major importance will be lost or
damaged by approval of this annexation request.
Is the proposed zoning amendment in the best interest of the City of
Meridian. (Ord. 592, 11-17-1992)"
Staff finds that the annexation of this property would be in the best interest of the
City by providing a variety of housing types and lot sizes, providing a high
percentage of improved open space for future city residents, an innovative
subdivision layout, and the development of an infill parcel of land.
ANNEXATION AND ZONING COMMENTS
The legal description submitted with the application doesn't include the adjacent interstate
right-of-way per the requirements of the City of Meridian and State Tax Commission. Please
submit a new legal description to the Public Works Department that includes all of the
adjacent interstate right-of-way prior to the applications being heard by the Meridian City
Council.
2. The requested zoning of R-4 is compatible with the City Comprehensive Plan and the
Meridian Zoning Ordinances.

3. The subject property is within the Urban Service Planning Area. Essential City services are
available to the subject propcrty~
Any existing domestic wells and/or septic systems within this project will have to be
removed from their domestic service per City Ordinance Section 5-7-517. Wells may be
used for non-domestic purposes such as landscape irrigation.
5. A Development Agreement will not be required as part of this annexation request.
PRELIMINARY PLAT FINDINGS AND REQUIREMENTS
Sections 12-3-3 J.2 and 12-3-5 D read as follows: "In determining the acceptance of a proposed
subdivision, the Commission/Council shall consider the objectives of this title and at least the
following:
a. The conformance of the subdivision with the Comprehensive Development Plan;
As noted above, staff finds that the subdivision appears to be in conformance with the
Comprehensive Plan.
b. The availability of public services to accommodate the proposed development;
Staff finds that public services are available to accommodate the proposed subdivision.
c. The continuity of the proposed development with the capital improvement
program;
Staff f'mds that the subdivision will not require the expenditure of capital improvement
funds.
d. The public financial capability of supporting services for the proposed
development;
Staff finds that the development will not require major expenditures for providing
supporting services.
e. The other health, safety or environmental problems that may be brought to the
Commission's attention.
Staff finds that there should not be any other health, safety or environmental problems
associated with this subdivision that should be brought to the Council or Commission's
attention.

ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
Block Length: The preliminary plat has two blocks (Block 1 and 7) that exceed the 1,000
foot maximum block length (MCC 12-4-5), as measured along the rear lot lines. However,
because this plat is part of a PD and because the lengths are unavoidable due to existing
adjacent conditions, Staff recommends they be allowed to exceed this section of Code
without the need for a variance application.
House Size Dispersion: Ordinance 11-10-4.C requires that "all single family detached houses
in the R-8 district below 1,301 square feet shall be interspersed uniformly through the entire
development." This ordinance is intended to address non-Planned Development plats in the
R-8 or R-15 zones where a mix of house sizes are allowed outright under the code. Even
though the subject application is proposing an R-4 zone (which is not addressed in Ord. 11-
10-4.C), Staff feels this ordinance has relevance since a mix of house sizes under 1,301
square feet are being proposed. As submitted, the plat proposes four (4) different minimum
house size groups (see the "House Square Footage Map" in the CUP/PD application), all of
which are contiguous blocks and not evenly dispersed through the development. However,
there is only a 300 square foot difference between the smallest category (1,000 sq. ft.) and
the largest category (1,300 sq. ft.). Given such a small size difference, Staff feels the
requirement to evenly disperse the houses may be less important than if the size difference
were greater than 300 square feet. The Commission and Council should take this issue under
advisement when reviewing the plat.
Fence/Common Lot Waiver: In order to allow one of Staff's recommendations below (see
Item #5), the P&Z Commission and Council will need to approve a waiver to Ordinance 12-
13-10-2, which prohibits fences within required street buffers. In order to maximize the
sound mitigation ofi-84 (by providing a fence on top of the berm), Staff feels such a waiver
is justified.
SITE SPECIFIC COMMENTS (Preliminary Plat)
Sanitary sewer service to this site shall be via an extension of the existing sewer in Linder
Road. Applicant will be responsible to construct the sewer mains to and through this
proposed development. Subdivision designer to coordinate main sizing and routing with
the Public Works Department. Sewer manholes are to be provided to keep the sewer
lines on the south and west sides of the centerline.
Domestic water service to this site shall be via new main extensions fi:om the existing
main in Linder Road and W. Verbena Drive. Applicant will be responsible to construct
water mains to and through this proposed development, including the Linder frontage.
Subdivision designer to coordinate main sizing and routing with the Public Works
Department.

No phase lines are shown on the Preliminary Plat map. If the developer intends to phase
construction, the Applicant shall submit a revised Preliminary Plat at least 10 days prior
to the next public hearing showing any proposed phase lines and numbers.
Ordinance 12-10-5.A, Minimum House Sizes Shown on Plat, requires that "all new
residential housing development plats shall have the individual lots marked showing the
minimum size house that can be constructed thereon, and no plat shall be recorded
henceforth without such indication clearly shown thereon." Applicant shall submit a
revised Preliminary Plat at least 10 days prior to the next public hearing complying with
this ordinance.
o
The cross-section of the 1-84 landscape buffer submitted with the Landscape Plan (Sheet
CUP-C) proposes a 6-foot vinyl fence on top of an 8-foot berm. Assuming rear lot line
fences will be constructed, this will result in a 26-foot wide "tunnel" and secluded area
between the residential fences and the subdivision vinyl fence. Staff does not support this
design. The Applicant shall submit a revised cross-section of the 1-84 berm eliminating
the secluded area and also demonstrate how the drainage will be handled to avoid the
berm run-offwater collecting in the rear yards of residences within Block 7.
Staff recommends a waiver be granted to allow the 1-84 fence to be placed within the 1-84
buffer. Staff does not support a reduction of the 50-foot wide buffer nor allowing the
residential lots to encroach into this common lot. We recommend any fence within Lot 1,
Block 7 be situated a minimum of 35 feet fi:om the 1-84 right-of-way and trees be planted
at a density of one tree per every 25 feet of fi:ontage.
o
A detailed fencing plan shall be submitted with each Final Plat application. Any proposed
fencing adjacent to Lot 6, Block 3 shall be clear-vision. If solid fencing is used, it shall be
a maximum of 4-feet in height. Staffdiscourages the use of chain link fencing adjacent to
the park. The NMID allows fencing within their Kennedy Lateral easement under
existing License Agreement No. 97009476. However, the specific location of the fence is
dependent upon the buildable lot rear line location. The east perimeter fence shall be
placed on the rear lot lines, which will need to be determined through an encroachment
agreement, per item//12 below.
Lot 21, Block 1 and a portion of Lot 1, Block 1 are micropath lots. Ordinance 12-13-15-9
encourages all fences adjacent to micropath lots to be clear-vision. If solid fencing is
used, it shall be a maximum of 4-feet in height. The 6-foot vinyl fence proposed in the
Landscape Plan (Sheet CUP-C) adjacent to the micropath in Lot 1, Block 1 is not
approved and must comply with Ordinance 12-13-15-9. The developer will be
responsible for the construction of the fences adjacent to Lot 21, Block 1 and Lot 1,
Block 1 and said fence restriction shall be included as a note on the Final Plats.
The developer shall comply with Ordinance 12-13-10-9 on Linder Road regarding the
landscaping of unimproved street right-of-way greater than 13 feet in width. Said
landscaping must be installed or bonded for prior to issuance of any Certificates of
Occupancy.

The required landscaping and irrigation system on Linder Road and adjacent to 1-84 shall
be installed prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for any building on any lot
created by the subdivision. All required fencing shall be installed prior to the issuance of
any building permits. Landscaping and fencing must be bonded for prior to City signature
on the Final Plat.
The minimum number of street trees, as required by Ordinance 12-13-10-6, is not met by
the proposed Landscape Plan for the Linder Road and 1-84 required buffers. Applicant
shall submit detailed landscape plans with the Final Plat application that complies with
this ordinance.
South of W. Verbena Drive, ACHD is requiring more right-of-way on Linder Road than
what is shown on the Preliminary Plat. Ordinance 12-13-10-4 requires a minimum 25-
foot wide street buffer along Linder Road, beyond future right-of-way. It appears the
additional right-of-way will significantly reduce the proposed buffer width to less than 10
feet at some locations. The Applicant shall address this issue at the P&Z Commission
hearing and propose how adequate buffering will be provided fi.om the future overpass.
The Applicant shall submit a revised Preliminary Plat showing the required Linder Road
right-of-way, the new street buffer width, and any revised open space calculations.
Fffieen (15) building lots within Blocks 1 and 7, adjacent to the east boundary, appear to
encroach into the Kennedy Lateral easement. These lots shall be configured to the edge
of easement lines unless an encroachment agreement is granted by Nampa Meridian
Irrigation District. If the former is the case, create a common area lot covering the
balance of the easement width, and submit a copy of said NMID agreement prior to
submittal of the Final Plat application.
Applicant shall clarify the requested minimum side yard setback distance. The
application states 5 feet for both single and two-story but the Preliminary Plat shows 5
feet per story. A minimum 10 feet of clearance must be provided between all detached
housing.
The Preliminary Plat fails to show the how street drainage is being handled. Please revise
the plat to show set-aside areas for drainage retention/detention.
Underground pressurized irrigation must be provided to all landscape areas on site.
Applicant has not indicated whether the pressurized irrigation system within this
development is to be owned and maintained by an association or the Nampa & Meridian
Irrigation District. If the system is being proposed as a private system, plans and
specifications for the irrigation system shall be reviewed by the Public Works
Department as part of the development plan review process. A draft copy of the
pressurized irrigation system O&M manual must be submitted prior to plan approval.
The City of Meridian requires that pressurized irrigation systems be supplied by a year-
round source of water. Ifa creek or well source is not available, a single-point connection

to the culinary water system shall be required. Ifa single-point connection is utilized, the
developer shall be responsible for the paymem of assessments for the common areas prior
to signature on the final plat by the Meridian City Engineer.
17.
Please provide a copy of the complete geotechnical engineering report to be issued by
Materials Testing & Inspection by 20 March, 2002, to the Public Works Department.
18. Please revise preliminary plat note #1 to also include the rear lot lines.
GENERAL COMMENTS (Preliminary Plat)
Please submit a copy of the Ada County Street Name Committee's final approval letter
for the subdivision name, and the lot and block numbering. Make any corrections
necessary to conform.
2. Coordinate fire hydrant placemem with the City of Meridian Public Works Departmem.
A letter of credit or cash surety in the amount of 110% will be required for all fencing,
landscaping, pressurized irrigation, sanitary sewer, water, etc., prior to signature on the
final plat.
Two-hundred-fifty and one-hundred-watt, high-pressure sodium streetlights will be
required at locations designated by the Public Works Department. All streetlights shall be
installed at subdivider's expense. Typical locations are at street intersections and/or fire
hydrants.
All irrigation ditches, laterals or canals, exclusive of natural waterways, intersecting,
crossing or lying adjacent and contiguous to the area being subdivided shall be tiled per
City Ordinance 12-4-13. The ditches to be piped should be shown on the site plans.
Plans will need to be approved by the appropriate irrigation/drainage district, or lateral
users association, with written confirmation of said approval submitted to the Public
Works Department.
Any existing domestic wells and/or septic systems within this project will have to be
removed from their domestic service per City Ordinance Sections 9-1.4 and 9-4-8. Wells
may be used for non-domestic purposes such as landscape irrigation.
7. Slopes within drainage lots are not to exceed a ratio of3:l.
Performance specificatiOns for the common area pressurized irrigation system shall be
submitted with each Final Plat application.
STANDARDS FOR CONDITIONAL USES
The Commission and Council shall review the particular facts and circumstances of each

proposed conditional use in terms of the following and may approve a conditional use permit if
they shall fred evidence presented at the hearing(s) is adequate to establish (11-17-3):
Ae
That the site is large enough to accommodate the proposed use and all yards, open
spaces, parking landscaping and other features as may be required by this
ordinance;
Staff finds that the subject property is large enough to accommodate the requested use
and all other required features.
Be
That the proposed use and development plan will be harmonious with the Meridian
Comprehensive Plan and in accordance with the requirements of this Ordinance;
The current Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates the property as
Mixed/Planned Use Development. The proposed residential uses and house types are
harmonious with and in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. The project meets the
requirements and objectives of the Planned Development Ordinance.
Cm
That the design, construction, operation, and maintenance will be compatible with
other uses in the general neighborhood and with the existing or intended character
of the general vicinity and that such use will not adversely change the essential
character of the same area;
Assuming standard constm~o~ dust mitigation and other operation practices are
followed and enforced, the proposed Marlin Subdivision is consistent with the intended
character of this area. Staff typically does not consider single-family residential adjacent
to single-family residential to be incompatible uses, regardless of adjacent lot sizes.
Do
That the proposed use, if it complies with all conditions of the approval imposed,
will not adversely affect other property in the vicinity;
Staffdoes not anticipate that the proposed project will have an adverse impact on the
surrounding property; however, the Commission and Council should consider any
testimony given at the public hearings before making this finding. See comments in "C"
above.
That the proposed use will be served adequately by essential public facilities and
services such as highways, street, police, and fire protection, drainage structures,
refuse disposal, water, sewer or that the Person responsible for the establishment of
proposed conditional use shall be able to provide adequately any such services;
Staff finds that the proposed development can be adequately served by the essential
public facilities and services listed above.
Fe
That the proposed use will not create excessive additional requirements at public
cost for public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic

welfare of the community;
Stafffinds that the proposed use would not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the
community, nor would it create the need for any new facilities or services to be paid for
by the public.
That the proposed use will not involve activities or processes, materials, equipment,
and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property, or
general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes,
glare or odors;
Stafffinds that no excessive traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors will result fi.om
the proposed use. Standard construction containment practices must be observed.
That the proposed use will have vehicular approaches to the property which shall be
so designed as not to create an interference with traffic on surrounding public
streets;
Staff finds that the proposed use will not create significant interference with any traffic
on the surrounding public streets. The Council and Commission should refer to the
ACHD report for additional information concerning this finding.
That the proposed use will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural,
scenic or historic feature considered to be of major importance.
Staffdoes not find that any natural or scenic feature will be lost, damaged or destroyed
by issuance of this conditional use.
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
Minimum Lot Size: The proposed minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet is a 37.5%
reduction from the standard 8,000 minimum lot size in the R-4 zone. The Planned
Development Ordinance (12-6-6.A.) allows the minimum lot size to be reduced below those
normally required for the R-4 zone and does not establish a minimum area allowed. The
proposed number of 152 single family lots is eight (8) lots below the maximum density
allowed under a straight R-4 zone (without a PD) for a 40-acre subdivision.
SITE SPECIFIC COMMENTS fConditionai Use Permit)
Applicant shall meet all of the requirements of the preliminary plat as a condition of the
Conditional Use Permit.
Per Ordinance 12-6-2.A.4, all houses within Marlin Subdivision shall have at least one
hundred (100) square feet of useable private open space, such as a patio or deck.

is especially well sited and maximizes the open space view and usability of the 28+ lots
that fxont onto the green space. One recommendation we have to improve the open space
features of the subdivision is to re-configure Lot 6, Block 3 so this mini-park, or at least a
view corridor into the park, is visible fxom the main Verbena Drive entrance. As currently
designed, Lots 21 - 25, Block 3, block visibility into this open space area until the
vehicle or pedestrian either tums north on Barracuda Avenue or travels 250+ feet east
past Lot 21, Block 3. We feel it would create a benefit to the subdivision to "showcase"
the open space at the main entrance offLinder Road. Staff recommends Lot 6, Block 3 be
re-configured to maximize the main entrance view corridor into this open space area.
At the P&Z Commission public hearing, the Applicant shall con_f'mn which net open
space calculation listed on the Preliminary Plat is correct. The "Open Space Calculations"
block shows 181,835 sq. ft. (10.44%) and the "Preliminary Plat Features" block shows
191,819 sq. ft. (11.01%). Please correct this discrepancy on the plat prior to the next
public hearing. In either instance, the minimum 10% open space required to count as one
of the project's two amenities has been met.
Per Ordinance 12-6-2.A.3, at least two (2) amenities must be provided as part of every
planned development. The 10+ percent open space noted in Item #3 above counts as one
of the required amenities and Staff strongly supports the central location and size of this
open space. However, a second project amenity must be provided. At the P&Z
Commission public hearing, the Applicant shall submit in writing a description of their
proposed second amenity and on which open space lot it will be sited. The Commission
should consider whether the proposed amenity meets the intent of Ordinance 12-6-2.A.3
and is adequate to meet the needs of the anticipated 453 residents of this subdivision (152
d.u. x avg. household size of 2.98 persons for owner-occupied units in Meridian).
Per Ordinance 12-6-8, initiation of work on Marlin Subdivision must take place within
eighteen (18) months of approval, as set forth in Section 11-17-4.
All development shall comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Fair
Housing Act.
o
No building permits shall be issued within the development until a Final Plat has been
recorded for the subdivision.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES
The subject property is located in an area designated as Mixed Residential in the Meridian
Comprehensive Plan. The 1993 Comprehensive Plan contains a variety of goals and policies that
are relevant to this application. Staff has selected the following sections that most directly apply
to the proposed project.
Goals Section
Goal 4: To provide housing opportunities for all economic groups within the community.

Goal 8: To establish compatible and efficient use of land through the use of innovative and
functional site design.
Goal 8: To establish compatible and efficient use of land through the use of innovative and
functional site design.
Economic Development
3.1U - Approve quality housing projects that meet the needs of all economic levels.
3.2U - Encourage efforts to develop and maintain quality neighborhoods and housing...
Land Use
1.10U Promote the design of attractive roadway entryway areas into Meridian which will clearly
identify the community.
2.1U - Support a variety of residential categories for the purpose of providing the City with a
range of affordable housing opportunities.
2.4U - Encourage sidewalks and paved streets for all existing neighborhoods...
5.9 The integrity and identity of any adjoining residential neighborhood should be preserved
through the use of buffering techniques, including screen plantings, open space and other
landscaping techniques.
5.12 Clustering of uses and controlled access points along arterials and collector streets will be
required.
Community Design
1.3 Open space areas within all development should be encouraged.
1.4 Major entrances to the City should be enhanced and emphasized. Unattractive land uses
along these entrances should be screened from view.
2.3U Encourage the beautification of streets, parking lots...etc.
6.2U - Pedestrian access connectors will be required in all new development to link subdivisions
together to promote neighborhood identity.
6.11U - Promote well-planned and well-designed affordable housing in all Meridian
neighborhoods.
Transportation Chapter
1.19U - Encourage proper design of residential neighborhoods to ensure their safety and
tranquility.
1.18 - As Planned Development methods and standards are implemented by the City of
Meridian, variations pertaining to planned development - maximum density,
dimensional standards, and other requirements - shall not exceed 25% of the existing
requirements, and shall be recommended when one or more of the Planned Development
design and developmental objectives are met.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff supports the variety of lot sizes, design and open space configuration of this development.
The proposed residential use is likely the highest and best use of the property given the infill
nature of the parcel and its adjacency to 1-84. We do feel a re-configuration of the open space in
Lot 6, Block 3 would provide an added benefit to the development. We also have a concern
AZ-02-007, pp -02-008, CUP02-010 Marlin Sub. AZ. PP.CUP
Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council
April30, 2002
Page 15
about the design of the 1-84 buffer and how the Linder Road buffer will be accommodated given
the overpass right-of-way required.
There are four (4) outstanding issues which we feel may warrant a re-submission of the
Preliminary Plat prior to the P&Z Commission approval. The primary outstanding issues are:
Preliminary Plat 1. Item #5 - design of the 1-84 landscape buffer and fencing
2. Item #11 - design of the Linder Road landscape buffer south of Verbena Drive
CUP/PD 3. Item #3 - design and configuration of Lot 6, Block 3 to provide greater visibility of the
open space
4. Item #5 - provision of a second amenity
If the Commission feels adequate resolution can be met with the Applicant on these issues at the
hearing, Staff could support moving the applications forward at the May 2 hearing.
Assuming agreement can be reached on these matters, Staff recommends approval of the
Annexation and Zoning, CUP/PD and Preliminary Plat applications with the conditions noted
above.

STORM WATER MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that storm water be pre-treated through a grassy swale
prior to discharge to the subsurface to prevent impact to ground water and
surface water quality.. The engineers and architects involved with the design
of this project should obtain current best management practices for storm
water disposal and design a storm water management system that is
preventing groundwater and surface water degradation. Manuals that could
be used for guidance are:

Idaho Cities and Counties.

:The following will be the requirements and/or concerns to provide minimum levels of fire protection for
the prOpOSed project:
1. One and two family dwellings will require a fire-flow of 1,000 gallons per minute available for a
duration of 2 hours to service the entire project. Fire hydrants shall be placed an average of 400' apart.
~9:97 :UFC Appendix m-A
Operational fire hydrants and temporary or permanent street signs
combustible construction begins. UFC 901.4.2 & 901.3
3. Acceptance of the water supply for fire protection will be by the Meridian
are required before
Water Department.
4. Final Approval of the fire hydrant locations shall be by the Meridian Fire Department.
5. All radii shall be 28' inside and 48' outside radius for all internal roads and entrances.
6. Insure that all yet undeveloped parcels are maintained free of combustible vegetation per
section 1103.2.4 of the Uniform Fire Code.
7. The roadways shall be built to Ada County Highway Standards with a minimum street width of
37'. UFC 902.2.1
8. The proposed 152 lot subdivision with an estimated 2.9 residents per household would have a
total estimated population of 440 residents at build out. According to a report completed by Fire &
Emergency Services Consulting Group in February of 2000 our requests for service are projected to reach
2800 in the year 2005 and 3800 by the year 2010, this is up from 2069 responses in the year 2000.
April 5, 2002
Page 2
9. The proposed project lies outside the five-minute response zone goal. Achievement of this
goal is subject to budgetary constraints and is intended to enhance the probability of a favorable
outcome on a request for Basic Life Support. The budget constraints are typically defined as capital
outlay for facilities that are located within 1.5 miles from a given location and sufficient operational
funds to staffthe facilities.
10. The phasing plan may require that any roadway greater than 150' in length that is not provided
with an outlet shall be required to have a tam around.
11. The Meridian would support the strict application of the Uniform Building Co& for si&yard
setbacks with no variances. This would limit the potential fire spread from building to building in those
blocks.
12. Provide a fire hydrant on the extreme South end of South Linder Rd. adjacent to the common
fence with 1-84. The project engineer contact the fire marshal to work out the details of this installation.
13. That a fire-flow consistent with Appendix III-A of the Uniform Fire Code be provided for the
portions of the project which are not one or two family dwellings. Fire hydrants shall be placed an
average of 400' apart. 1997 UFC Appendix III-A
