6. COMMENTS MEETING
On August 26, 2005 Planning staff held an agency comments meeting. The agencies and
departments present include: Meridian Fire Department, Meridian Police Department, Meridian
Parks Department, Meridian Public Works Department, and the Sanitary Services Company. Staff
has included all comments and recommended actions as Conditions of Approval in the attached
Exhibit B.
7. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS
Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this property and apply
to the proposed development (staff analysis in italics below policy):
• Require that development projects have planned for the provision of all public services.
(Chapter VII, Goal III, Objective A, Action 1)
When the City established its Area of City Impact, it planned to provide City services to the
subject property. The City of Meridian plans to provide municipal services to the lands
proposed to be annexed in the following manner:
• Sanitary sewer and water service will be extended to the project at the
developer's expense.
• The subject lands currently lie within the jurisdiction of the Meridian Rural Fire
District. Once annexed the lands will be under the jurisdiction of the Meridian
City Fire Department, who currently shares resource and personnel with the
Meridian Rural Fire Department.
• The subject lands currently lie within the jurisdiction of the Ada County Sheriff's
Office. Once annexed the lands will be serviced by the Meridian Police
Department (MPD).
• The roadways adjacent to the subject lands are currently owned and maintained
by the Ada County Highway District (ACRD). This service will not change.
• The subject lands are currently serviced by the Meridian School District #2. This
service will not change.
• The subject lands are currently serviced by the Meridian Library District. This
service will not change and the Meridian Library District should suffer no
revenue loss as a result of the subject annexation.
Municipal, fee -supported, services will be provided by the Meridian Building Department,
the Meridian Public Works Department, the Meridian Water Department, the Meridian
Wastewater Department, the Meridian Planning and Zoning Department, Meridian Utility
Billing Services, and Sanitary Services Company.

+ Protect existing residential properties from incompatible land use development on adjacent
parcels. (Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective C, Action 1)
The applicant is proposing a residential development. The existing residential properties to
the north, south and west and the school site to the east are compatible with the proposed
development.
• Support a variety of residential categories (low-, medium-, and high-density single family,
multi -family, townhouses, duplexes, apartments, condominiums, etc.) for the purpose of
providing the City with a range of affordable housing opportunities. (Chapter VII, Goal IV,
Objective C, Action 10)
The subject property is designated Mixed Use — Community and Medium -Density Residential
on the Future Land Use Map. This proposal includes a mix of housing types and smaller
residential lots while still maintaining a density consistent with the requested R-8 zone (4.63
d. u./acre).
• Require street connections between subdivisions at regular intervals to enhance connectivity
and better traffic flow. (Chapter VI, Goal II, Objective A, Action 6)
As part of the Sienna Creek Subdivision approval, a stub street was required to the northern
boundary of'the subject site. The applicant is proposing to extend this stub street, Buckstone
Avenue, and provide three additional stub streets to the adjacent properties. City staff and
ACHD are supportive of the connectivity plan for this area (see ACHD comments and
conditions for details).
• Review new development for appropriate opportunities to connect to local roads and
collectors in adjacent developments. (Chapter VI, Goal II, Objective A, Action 13)
See bullet above.
• Require new urban density subdivisions which abut or are proximal to existing low density
residential land uses to provide landscaped screening or transitional densities with larger,
more comparable lot sizes to buffer the interface between urban level densities and rural
residential densities. (Chapter VII, Goal I, Objective D, Action 8)
The applicant has proposed a development in which the larger lots in the development are on
the periphery, while the smaller lots are internal. The Comprehensive Plan calls for higher
density on this site, approximately 8 dwelling units per acre. Staff recognizes that there are
some existing low density residential land uses to the south and west and believes that the
proposed transition (to smaller lots on the interior) is desirable for the City.
• Offer a diversity of housing types for a greater range of choice. Encourage quality housing
project for all economic levels in a variety of areas. (Chapter VII Goal V Objective A)
The products for the site include attached single-family residences and attached townhouse
lots available to individual buyers who are seeking a lot close to the future Ustick Road
neighborhood center.
• Permit new residential, commercial, or industrial developments only where urban services
can be reasonably provided at the time of final approval and development is contiguous to the
City. (Chapter IV Goal II, Objective A)
Woodburn Subdivision AZ -05-041, PP -05-041, CUP -05-042 PAGE 6
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT. QUESTIONS? CALL (208) 884-5533
All urban services can be made available to this site.
• Require new residential development to provide permanent perimeter fencing to contain
construction debris on site and prevent windblown debris from entering adjacent agricultural
and other properties. (Chapter VII, Goal I, Objective D, Action 9)
The applicant is proposing a 5 -foot solid fence along the south and west boundaries. A 5 -foot
open vision fence is proposed near the west property line. If permanent fencing is not
provided around the entire perimeter of the site, the applicant should be required to install
temporary construction fencing to contain debris. Please see Exhibit B.
• Restrict curb cuts and access points on collectors and arterial streets. (Chapter VII, Goal IV,
Objective D, Action 2)
Except for the unnamed entrance street, access to Venable Lane should be prohibited.
Mixed Use Area Standards: all development within this designation will occur only under the
Conditional Use Permit process, except the Mixed Use --Regional; where feasible, multi-
family residential uses will be encouraged, especially for projects with the potential to serve
as employment destination centers and when the project is adjacent to State Highways 20-26,
55 or 69;where mixed use developments are phased, a conceptual site plan for the entire
mixed use area is encouraged with the development application or, depending on the scope
of the development, prior to a formal development application being submitted; in
developments where multiple commercial and/or office buildings are proposed (not
residential), the buildings should be arranged to create some form of common, usable areas,
such as a plaza or green space; where the project is developed adjacent to low or medium
density residential uses, a transitional use is encouraged. (Chapter VII, Comprehensive Plan)
The applicant has applied for a CUP/PD. The applicant is proposing a multi -family aspect to
this development (by definition a townhouse is a multi family building). However, each unit
and the lot will be, for sale to individual owners. Therefore, the three, four and five townhouse
units proposed in the center of the development will function similarly to the, detached single-
family homes on the periphery. Staff is supportive of the townhouse lots as they increase
density in this area, as called,for in the Comprehensive Plan. Further, staff is supportive of
the dwelling types proposed as they allow the lot owners to take pride in ownership of each
unit individually. Staff is also supportive of the open space design, as the major open space is
easily accessible and useable to all of'the lots.
Mixed Use --Community Standards: up to 25 acres of non-residential uses permitted within
the Mixed Use --Community areas as shown on the Future Land Use Map; In Mixed Use --
Community areas that are not neighborhood centers, over 25 acres of non-residential uses
shall be permitted (through the CUP process); up to 200,000 square feet of non-residential
building area; residential density of 3 to 15 units/acre; sample uses include all MU --N
categories, clothing stores, garden centers, hardware stores, restaurants, banks, drive-thru
facilities, auto service station, department stores. (Chapter VII, Comprehensive Plan).
Although permitted here, the applicant is not proposing any non-residential uses. Staff
believes that the non-residential uses are more appropriate closer to Ustick Road.
Staff finds that the proposed R-8 zoning designation and development plan are generally
harmonious with and in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan.
8. ZONING ORDINANCE
Woodburn Subdivision AZ -05-041, PP -05-041, CUP -05-042 PAGE 7
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT, QUESTIONS? CALL (208) 884-5533
a. Zoning Schedule of Use Control: Meridian City Code 11-2-1 lists single-family residential
dwellings as permitted uses in the R-8 zoning district. The new Uniform Development Code
also lists townhouses as permitted uses in the R-8 zone.
b. Purpose Statement of Zone:
R-8 Medium Density Residential District: The purpose of the R-8 district is to permit
the establishment of single- and two-family dwellings at a density not exceeding eight
(8) Dwelling units per acre. This district delineates those areas where such development
has or is likely to occur in accord with the comprehensive plan of the city and is also
.designed to permit the conversion of large homes into two-family dwellings in well-
established neighborhoods of comparable land use. Connection to the municipal water
and sewer systems of the city is required.
c. General Standards: As part of the PD, the applicant is requesting modifications to the
general lot size, street frontage and side yard setback standards of the R-8 zone. Other than the
requested modifications, the proposed development substantially complies with all of the
general standards of the Meridian Zoning Ordinance.
9. ANALYSIS
a. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation
1. AZ/RZ Application: Based on the policies and goals contained in the
Comprehensive Plan and the general compliance of the proposed development with
the Zoning Ordinance, staff believes that this is a good location for the proposed
single-family residential subdivision. Please see Exhibit D for detailed analysis of the
required facts and findings.
The annexation legal description submitted with the application (stamped on June 16,
2005 by D. Terry Peugh, PLS) shows the property as contiguous to the existing
corporate boundary of the City of Meridian.
The applicant will be responsible for all costs associated with the sewer and water
service extension. 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, when services are available from the City of Meridian. Wells may be
used for non-domestic purposes such as landscape irrigation.
All future development of the subject property shall be constructed in accordance with
City of Meridian ordinances in effect at the time of development. All future uses shall
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.
2. PP Application: The proposed preliminary plat substantially complies with the
current Zoning Ordinance.
Special Considerations:
Detached Sidewalks: The applicant is proposing to construct 4 -foot wide
detached sidewalks on the internal streets. The sidewalks are detached from the
curb with a 5 -foot wide landscape strip. In accordance with the recently passed
ACRD planter width standards, the width of the planter strip should be increased
to a minimum of 8 -feet wide and include Class II trees. See Exhibit B below.
Woodburn Subdivision AZ -05-041, PP -05-041, CUP -05-042 PAGE 8
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT. QUESTIONS? CALL (208) 884-5533
Ditches Laterals and Canals: There is an irrigation lateral that bisects this
parcel. Per MCC 12-4-13, 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. See Exhibit B below.
Pressure Irri ation: The City of Meridian requires that pressurized irrigation
systems be supplied by a year-round source of water (MCC 12-13-8.3). The
applicant should be required to utilize any existing surface or well water for the
primary source. If a surface or well source is not available, a single -point
connection to the culinary water system shall be required. If a single -point
connection is used, the developer will be responsible for the payment of
assessments for the common areas prior to signature on the final plat by the City
Engineer. An underground, pressurized irrigation system should be installed to
all landscape areas per the approved specifications and in accordance with MCC
12-13-8 and MCC 9-1-28. See Site Exhibit B below.
Fencing: The applicant is proposing to construct a five-foot tall solid fence along
the south and east perimeter of the site. A detailed fencing plan should be
submitted upon application of the final plat (MCC 12-4-10.17.3). If permanent
fencing is not provided, temporary construction fencing to contain debris must be
installed around the perimeter prior to issuance of a building permit. All fences
should taper down to 3 feet maximum within 20 feet of all right-of-way. All
fencing should be installed in accordance with MCC 12-4-10. See Exhibit B
below.
Existin2 Residences/Buildings: The site currently contains multiple buildings.
Because the existing structures span across proposed lot lines, all buildings shall
be removed prior to signature of the final plat by the City Engineer. See Exhibit
B below.
CUP Application: The applicant is requesting reductions to the standard lot size,
side building setback and street frontage requirements of the R-8 zone. Twelve of the
attached lots are below the 4,000 square -foot minimum lot size of the R-8 zone.
Thirteen of the proposed detached lots are below the 6,500 square -foot minimum lot
size of the R-8 zone. Twenty-two of the proposed lots are at or exceed the minimum
lot size of the R-8 zone. Thirty-nine of the forty-seven proposed buildable lots do not
meet the minimum street frontage requirement of the R-8 zone. Twenty-four of the
proposed lots will contain at least one zero -lot line. The applicant has submitted a
sample elevation of how the townhouses will look. Each building will include some
stucco, brick, or rock. Staff is generally supportive of the proposed CUP/PD
application, as it generally conforms to Title 12, Meridian City Code.
Special Considerations:
Tot Lot Location: City staff (Planning and Police) has safety concerns with the
location of the tot lot proposed on Lot 13, Block 3. Due to proposed landscape
trees and the lot layout, the tot lot is not visible to a majority of the subdivision.
To get more eyes on the tot lot, staff recommends that it be moved east, so it is in
alignment with the north -south open space corridor between Lots 5 and. 6 and
Lots 20 and 21, Block 3. See Exhibit B below.
Elevations: The applicant has submitted one sample elevation for the townhouses

proposed. Staff is generally supportive of the multi -family building. Each
townhouse shall have an element of architectural relief such as stucco, brick or
rock and include vinyl shutters. See Exhibit B below.
b. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of AZ -05-041 PP -05-041 and CUP --
05-042 for Woodburn Subdivision based on the Findings of Fact as listed in Exhibit D and
subject to the conditions of approval as listed in Exhibit B as attached to this report.

D. Required Findings from Zoning Ordinance
1. Annexation and Zoning Findings:
The commission and council shall review the particular facts and circumstances of each proposed zoning
amendment in terms of the following standards and shall find 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;
See Comprehensive Plans and Policies as listed in staff report item #7 above. Staff supports the
zoning and finds the proposal in general accord with the Comprehensive Plan.
B. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be rezoned in the future;
Staff does not anticipate that the applicant intends to rezone the subject property in the future.
C. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be developed in the fashion that
would be allowed under the new zoning —for example, a residential area turning into a
commercial area by means of conditional use permits;
Staff finds that detached single-family uses are allowed within the requested zoning district of R-
8. The applicant is requesting to modify some of the dimensional standards of the R-8 zone and
has submitted a conditional use permit.
D. 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 recent residential developments in this area have been approved for development
similar to the proposed subdivision, with single-family residences. Based on the ACHD Long
Range 2030 proposal, Ustick Road is not currently included within ACHD's Five Year Work
Program or in the currently adopted 20 -year Capital Improvements Plan for roadway
improvements. Staff finds that the area is changing and this site is eligible for annexation and
zoning.
E. 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;
Staff finds that the requested zoning and proposed density meets the anticipated range for a
medium density urban project. Based on the Comprehensive Plan, staff believes that the existing
parcels in the area (north) have already developed with similar densities and allowances for
alternate products and designs are encouraged. Staff also finds that the proposed zoning and 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.
IEI
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING AND ZONING .DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT. QUESTIONS? CALL (208) 884-5533
The proposal meets the standards of MCC 12-13-16 Residential Subdivision Open Space which
states that "common space shall equal or exceed five percent of the gross land area of the
subdivision. This requirement shall apply to all single family residential subdivisions of five
acres or more."
Staff does not find that the proposed zoning/uses will adversely change the essential character of
area. Staff recommends that the Commission and Council rely on staff's analysis, public
testimony received and any comments submitted from any other agencies or departments
regarding whether this property should be annexed as proposed.
F. Will the proposed uses not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighboring
uses;
Staff does not anticipate that the proposed residential uses will be hazardous as long as the
conditions outlined in this report are complied with and construction traffic and house
construction is conducted in a manner consistent with City Code. The Commission and Council
should rely on any public testimony (oral and written) when determining whether or not the
proposed zoning and subsequent uses will be disturbing or hazardous to the existing or future
neighboring uses.
G. 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
shall be able to provide adequately any of such services;
The applicant will be responsible for the extension of all utilities necessary to serve this proposed
development. Sizing and routing shall be coordinated with the Public Works Department.
The applicant and/or future property owners will be required to pay park and highway impact
fees.
ACHD has submitted a staff report with site specific and standard conditions as attached in
Exhibit B7.
On August 26, 2005, a joint agency/department comments meeting was held with representatives
of key service providers to this property. Based on the joint agency/department meeting and other
comments received from agencies/departments, staff finds that the public services listed above
can be made available to accommodate the proposed development. The Commission and Council
should reference any written and/or verbal testimony submitted by any public service provider,
regarding their ability to adequately service this project.
H. 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;
If approved, the developer will be financing the extension of sewer, water, local street
infrastructure, utilities and irrigation services to serve the project. The primary public costs to
serve the future residents will be fire, police and school facilities and services. Staff finds there
will not be excessive additional requirements at public cost and that the proposed zoning and
subsequent development will not be detrimental to the community's economic welfare.
D-2
CITE' OF MERIDIAN PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT. QUESTIONS? CALL (208) 884-5533
I. 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 annexation and the development of residential on this site will not
involve uses that will create nuisances that would be detrimental to the general welfare of the
surrounding area.
Staff recognizes the fact that traffic and noise will increase with the approval of this subdivision;
however, staff does not believe that the amount generated will be detrimental to the general
welfare of the public. Staff does not anticipate the proposed annexation and subsequent uses will
create excessive traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare, or odors.
J. 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;
The applicant is proposing to construct one public street access to Venable Lane and one public
street extension into the site from Sienna Creek Subdivision. ACHD is supportive of the proposed
streets. If is designed and constructed as approved by the ACRD and the City, staff does not
believe that the subdivision will create interference with traffic on the surrounding public streets.
K Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic feature of major
importance; and
There are some mature trees on this property. Any existing trees larger than 4" caliper that are
removed should be mitigated for, per the Landscape Ordinance. Staff finds that the proposed
development will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of any natural feature(s) of major
importance if developed under these conditions.
Staff recommends that the Commission and Council reference any public testimony that may be
presented to determine whether or not the proposed development may destroy or damage a
natural or scenic feature(s) of major importance of which staff is unaware.
L. Is the proposed zoning amendment in the best interest of the City of Meridian. (Ord. 592,
11-17-1992)?
The R-8 zoning amendment will provide diversity in lot size from the existing subdivisions in the
vicinity. Staff finds that all essential services are available or will be provided by the developer
to the subject property and will not require unreasonable expenditure of public funds. The
applicant is proposing to develop the land in general compliance with the City's Comprehensive
Plan. Subdivisions of medium density have already been approved for development to the north
and this is a logical expansion of the City limits. In accordance with the findings listed above,
staff finds that annexation and zoning of this roperty_ would be in the best interest of the City.
2. Preliminary Plat:
Sections 12-3-3 J.2 and 12-3-5 D read as follows: "In determining the acceptance of a proposed
subdivision, the Commission and Council shall consider the objectives of this title and at least the
following:
A. The conformance of the subdivision with the Comprehensive Development Plan;
D-3
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT. QUESTIONS'? CALL (208) 884-5533
Please see Annexation and Zoning Findings Item A above.
B. The availability of public services to accommodate the proposed development;
Please see Annexation and Zoning Findings Items G and H above.
C. The continuity of the proposed development with the capital improvement program;
Because the developer is installing sewer, water, and utilities for the development at their cost,
the subdivision will not require the expenditure of capital improvement funds.
D. The public financial capability of supporting services for the proposed development;
Please see Exhibit B for comments and conditions from other agencies and departments.
E. The other health, safety or environmental problems that may be brought to the
Commission's attention.
Staff is not aware of any health, safety or environmental problems associated with the
development of this subdivision that should be brought to the Council or Commission's attention.
ACHD considers road safety issues in their analysis. Staff recommends that the Commission and
Council reference any public testimony that may be presented to determine whether or not the
proposed subdivision may cause health, safety or environmental problems of which staff is
unaware.
3. CUP Findings:
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 find
evidence presented at the hearing(s) is adequate to establish (11-17-3):
A. 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;
As part of the Planned Development (PD) the applicant is requesting relief from the standard
street frontage, lot size and side setback requirements of the R-8 zone, as required by Meridian
City Code. Staff fords that the subject property is large enough to accommodate the requested
use and all other required ordinance features. Although the site is large enough to accommodate
all of the features required by ordinance, the applicant has asked, through the Planned
Development, to modify specific development standards.
B. That the proposed use and development plan will be harmonious with the Meridian
Comprehensive Plan and in accordance with the requirements of this Ordinance;
Staff finds that the proposed residential subdivision is generally harmonious with and in
accordance with the 2002 Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map, which designates the
land to be "Medium Density Residential" and "Mixed Use — Community" (provided the
Commission and Council grant the requested planned development). Please see Annexation and

10. Site History
The District has not previously approved a development application on this site.
11. Capital Improvements Plan/Five Year Work Program
There are no roadways within this area that are programmed in the District's Five Year Work Program
or Capital Improvements Plan.
12. Other Development in Area
• The District approved Cedar Springs Subdivision on December 12, 2001. Cedar Springs
Subdivision was proposed to contain 264 -single-family residential lots and 1 -elementary
school site located on 99.8 -acres. Cedar Springs Subdivision is located northeast of
Woodburn Subdivision.
The District approved Sienna Creek Subdivision on July 28, 2004. Sienna Creek Subdivision
contains 136 -single-family residential lots located on 30 -acres. Sienna Creek Subdivision is
located to the north of Woodburn Subdivision.
B. Findings for Consideration
1. Venable Lane
Right -of -Way & Improvements
District policy requires 54 -feet of right-of-way on industrial/commercial roadways (Figure 72-F1 B).
This right-of-way allows for the construction of a 40 -foot roadway with vertical curb, gutter and 5 -foot
wide concrete sidewalks.
The applicant should dedicate a total of 25 -feet of right-of-way from the centerline (to total a
54 -foot right-of-way width) of Venable Lane abutting the parcel by means of recordation of a
final subdivision plat or execution of a warranty deed prior to issuance of a building permit (or
other required permits), whichever occurs first. Allow up to 30 business days to process the
right-of-way dedication after receipt of all requested material. The owner will not be
compensated for this additional right-of-way because Venable Lane -is classified as a local
street and is to be brought to adopted standards by the developers of abutting properties.
+ The applicant should continue the existing pavement, vertical curb, gutter and 5 -foot wide
attached concrete sidewalk from the northern development (Sienna Creek Subdivision)
abutting the site on Venable Lane. Complete the roadway to a 40 -foot street section.
2. Street Sections
District policy 7204.4.2 states, "Developments with any buildable lot that is less that 1 -acre in size will
typically provide streets having a minimum pavement width of 32 -feet with curb, gutter and sidewalks.
The total street width shall be 36 -feet from back -of -curb to back -of -curb. Variations of this width may
be allowed, depending on traffic volumes forecast to be generated by the development. Concrete
sidewalks shall be a minimum of 5 -feet in width unless they are separated from the curb 5 -feet or
more in which case the sidewalk shall be a minimum of 4 -feet in width.
The Entrance Street nospecified name
• The applicant is proposing to construct the entrance street that intersects Venable Lane with a
42 -foot street section with vertical curb, gutter, 5 -foot wide concrete sidewalk and an 8 -foot
wide landscaped island within 64 -feet of right-of-way. This street section meets District policy,
and should be approved with this application.
3
Internal Roadways
• The applicant is proposing to construct the internal roadways with 34 -foot street sections with
vertical curb, gutter, 4 -foot wide detached concrete sidewalks and 5 -foot wide planter strips.
This street section meets District policy, and should be approved with this application (also
see `Tree planters" below).
3. Tree Planters
The applicant should also comply with the District's Tree Planter Width Interim Policy which prohibits
all trees in planters less than 6 -feet in width. In addition to prohibiting trees in planters less than 6 -
feet in width, the policy requires a minimum planter width of 6 -feet for class II tress with the
installation of root barriers on both sides of the planter strip or a minimum planter width of 8 -feet
without the installation of a root barrier. The policy also requires Class I and Class III trees to provide
a minimum planter width of 10 -feet.
• The applicant is proposing 5 -foot wide tree planters along the internal roadways within this
proposed subdivision. The tree planter policy is an interim policy, and the policy may also be
enforced by the City of Meridian. The applicant may want to consider widening the tree
planter widths from 5 -feet to 6 -feet, or should eliminate tree planting in the landscape strip.
4. Islands
District policy 7202.7 and 7207.5 require islands to be constructed a minimum of 4 -feet wide with a
minimum area of 100 -square feet and designed to safely channel traffic. The roadway on either side
of the traffic island should maintain a minimum of a 21 -foot street section. District policy also requires
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 design should be reviewed and approved by ACHD's Development staff.
• The applicant is proposing to construct an 8 -foot wide landscaped island as a part of the
entrance into the subdivision that intersects Venable Lane. The landscaped island within the
public right-of-way dedicated by this plat should be owned and maintained by a homeowners
association. This should be noted on the final plat.
5. Stub Streets
District policy 7203.5.1 states that the street design in a proposed development shall cause no undue
hardship to adjoining property. An adequate and convenient access to adjoining property for use in
future development may be required. If a street ends at the development boundary, it shall meet the
requirements of sub section 7205, "non -continuous streets."
District policy 7205.5 states that stub streets will be required to provide intra -neighborhood circulation
or to provide access to adjoining properties. Stub streets will conform with the requirements
described in Section 7204.5, 7204.6 and 7204.7, except a temporary cul-de-sac will not be required if
the stub street has a length no greater than 150 -feet. A sign shall be installed at the terminus of the
stub street stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE". In addition, a stub
street must meet the following conditions: 1. A stub street shall be designed to slope towards the
street intersection and drain surface water toward that intersection, unless a satisfactory storm drain
system is installed. 2. The District may require appropriate covenants guaranteeing that the stub
street will remain free of obstructions.
• The applicant is proposing to extend North Buckstone Avenue from the north property line.
This stub street was approved as a part of Sienna Creek Subdivision on July 28, 2004. Staff
is supportive of the extension of this stub street.
