2002.
Adopt
Comply with all of ACHD's Standard Requirements listed in their report dated May 10,
the Meridian Fire Department Recommendations as follows:
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 at approved locations.
2. Operational fire hydrants and temporary or permanent street signs are required before
combustible construction begins.
3. Acceptance of water supply for fire protection is contingent upon acceptance of the water
system by the City of Meridian.
4. Final approval for fire hydrant location shall be by the Meridian Fire Department.
5. All taming radii shall be a minimum of 28' inside and 48' outside.
6. Insure that all yet undeveloped parcels are maintained free of combustible vegetation.
7. 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 turnaround.
8. The Meridian Fire Department requests strict application of the Uniform Building Code
for sideyard setbacks in Blocks 7, 8, 11, 12 with no variances to limit the potential fire
spread from building to building in those blocks.
9. The alleys in Blocks 7, 8, 11, 12 be signed on each end stating "Fire Lane No Parking".
10. The driveway leading to the two lots on E. Heron Crossing Dr. at Heritage Green Way
shall be 20' with no parking.
11. It is found that if the developer pays for the requested improvements
and complies with the conditions set forth in these Findings of Fact No. 10, and all sub-parts, the
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - Page 6
AND DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION
FOR ANNEXATION AND ZONING/HERITAGE COMMONS
(AZ-02-O06)
economic welfare of the City and its residents and tax and rate payers will be protected, a
condition of annexation and zoning designation.
12. It is also found that the development considerations as referenced in Finding No.
10 are reasonable to require and must be taken into account, in order to assure the proposed
development is designed, constructed, operated and maintained in a manner which is harmonious
and appropriate in appearance with the existing, or intended character of the general vicinity, in
order to assure that the proposed use will not change the essential character of the affected
vicinity and will insure that the proposed uses will not be hazardous or disturbing to the existing,
or future neighboring uses, particularly considering the impact of proposed development on
potential to produce excessive traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare and odors. It is found that the
proposed uses will create additional traffic, especially on Locust Grove and Ustick Roads.
However, staff does not believe that the increase in traffic will be excessive. 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.
13. It is found that the zoning of the subject real property as Medium Density
Residential District (R-8) requires connection to the Municipal Water and Sewer systems and
will be compatible with the Applicant's development intentions, and will assure that the zoning
is consistent with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan Generalized Land Use Map which
designates the subject property as Single Family Residential.
14. 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; it is found that
the two proposed approaches on Locust Grove Road should not appreciably interfere with traffic
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW- Page 7
AND DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION
FOR ANNEXATION AND ZONING/HERITAGE COMMONS
(AZ-02-006)
on the surrounding streets. The north approach, E. Heron's Crossing drive, is an existing private
road and the develper must not interfere With this ingress/egress easement that serves the existing
property owners to the north. Should the new roadway be designed and constructed in such a
way as to protect these owners, the future roadway should actually improve the accessibility and
traffic flow on E. Heron's Crossing since it will be a wider street and be paved
15. The subject annexation request and zoning designation and proposed
development relates and is compatible to the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan of the
City as follows:

dependent upon the extension of the White Drain Trunk, which is slated for construction this
year.
