Guenther: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission. Milford Creek Subdivision is for annexation of 13.55 acres from RUT to an R-8 district. The plat is for 48 single-family residential lots and seven other lots on the site. The site is located just off of Eagle Road. It's more of a landlocked parcel between Eagle and McMillan in the northeast quarter that section. The site is currently agricultural. It is being surrounded by developing properties. I tried to bring in a new GIS layer that we just developed from GIS pack to show that -- how the existing Zebulon Heights plats tie in with this Milford Creek Subdivision. Milford Creek Subdivision No.1 is a Boise City subdivision. And Milford Creek West is what we are hoping that the applicant names this one, as that naming convention for number one and two between jurisdictions and within phasing of final plats can become confusing. So, that is a requirement to change the name on this one to try and eliminate some of that confusion. With that the -- there are two changes to the staff report that staff noticed, as well as the applicant found. Condition number 1.1.3 references the Land Group. That should be Harvest Design. And the date of the landscape plan is August 12th. And the second one is condition 8.1. This is a standard Settler's Irrigation District condition. Typically they provide comments, but they did not on this one, so staff included the standard conditions of approval and it references the wrong laterals. Newton-Huckabay: What number was that again? Guenther: 8.1 and 1.1.3. Okay. I'm sorry. I will do -- 1.1.3. Moe: Yeah. Go back over that. What are we doing there? Guenther: We are just changing the Land Group to Harvest Design and the date is August 12th of the landscape plan. Mae: Harvest Design? Guenther: Correct. Moe: Okay. Thank you. And eight -- Guenther: 8.1 you just eliminate the second sentence, referring to the Harrall Lateral, which does not apply to this site. Moe: Starting with the facility? Meridian Planning & Zoning November 3, 2005 Page 50 of 53 Guenther: The facilities. Correct. Moe: Okay. Thank you. Guenther: Staff stands for questions. Zaremba: Commissioners, any questions? Moe: No. I think I'll let the applicant -- I'll wait for the applicant. Zaremba: And I believe we are ready for them. Moe: If I can just real quick -- what I'm looking for would be the access to this property. McKay: The access to the property? Okay. I will go through that real quickly. Becky McKay. Engineering Solutions, 150 East Aikens, Suite B. I'll give my abbreviated version, since I have no neighbors tonight for a change. As staff indicated, we have got approximately 13.56 acres. This is Madison Park Subdivision that I did in Boise city. These lots are approximately 7,000 square feet. This is Milford Creek No.1 that was the same applicant, but this was a Boise application. They have an access coming off of Eagle Road and a stub street to this portion, so we connecting to that. Then wrapping around this project is Zebulon No.1 and Zebulon No.2 -- or number two and number one here. One was done in Boise. Two is Meridian. We are connecting a stub street here into Zebulon Two and, then, this entrance is located right here on Wainwright. At this time Wainwright is constructed up to this point only. Wainwright is a collector roadway, goes out to Eagle, that is the half mile. That is supposedly the designated signalization for that half-mile between Ustick and McMillan. So, with Zebulon No.2 this roadway will be extended westward. This project also has the option of -- if this road is build first, then, it would have this access here. ACHD placed a condition or approval on us that we have to extend Wainwright in order to file this plat. So, I think that kind of covers it. The project has 12 percent open space in it, which is quite a bit, but we wanted a nice kind of open feel. Our lots range of 6,210 14,637. The average lot size is 8,261 square feet. And that excludes roadways and open space. So, that is a pure number. This is medium density residential. We are at 3.54 dwelling units per acre, so we are way on that lower end. It's consistent with Madison Park. I think when I did that, that one's about three and a half dwelling units per acre. These lots over here on the Boise side of this Milford No.1 are five, six thousand square feet. So, these lots are a little bit larger than that. We have got one existing home on the property. It is incorporated into the project, is being annexed, and we will have a joint driveway here for this lot and this existing house and ACHD has approved that one access point to Wainwright. Other than that, everything will take access internally. Do you have any questions? Zaremba: Commissioners, any questions? Meridian Planning & Zoning November 3,2005 Page 51 of 53 Mae: No. I have no questions. Just a comment, if I might. You know, as of late the projects you have been bringing into this Commission have been excellent. I, quite frankly, think this is a great addition, quite frankly, in an R-8. You're giving lots of room to these lots and I wish you would maybe put a seminar on to some of your other developers and engineers out there to make them understand how easy some of these things can get through when they are designed properly and I appreciate that very much. McKay: Thank you. Borup: They are great. Zaremba: I appreciate that, too. competition, although -- But, unfortunately, it's not her job to teach her McKay: I don't want to give away all the secrets. Zaremba: -- if they watch you for very long they certainly should be able to learn. Commissioners, any other comments? McKay: Any other comments? Oh, there will also be play equipment in the middle of that. It's not just grass. Zaremba: Something for us to use. McKay: Thank you. Zaremba: Okay. We have no one signed up. There are a couple people in the audience. Anybody care to comment? Nobody commenting? In that case we don't need rebuttal from Mrs. McKay. Staff, anything else to add? Guenther: No. Just conditions of approval speak for themselves and the applicant's in agreement with them. Staff appreciates -- Zaremba: I notice that I actually was asking unnecessary questions earlier. The staff, in the new format, is providing proposed motions and all I needed to do is look there to see whether it's a recommendation or a final, so-- Guenther: Yeah. Staff-- Zaremba: Maybe I won't keep asking that question. Guenther: -- appreciates this applicant's work as well. This was a very easy staff report to complete. Zaremba: Good. Thank you. Meridian Planning & Zoning November 3, 2005 Page 52 of 53 Moe: Mr. Chairman? Zaremba: Commissioner Mae. Moe: Oh. Newton-Huckabay: Mr. Chair, I just have a question. Zaremba: Commissioner Newton-Huckabay. Newton-Huckabay: And it's not totally related to this one, but is the stop light that's going to go in at Wainwright the same as the stop light that we were talking about earlier that's in around Kohl's project or is it two? It's two? Guenther: The applicant requested two and they were granted three access points, one signalized, and I believe that one was the one at 1,200 feet from Ustick. Wainwright is at the half mile, which would be approximately 2,400 feet from Ustick. Newton-Huckabay: Okay. Great. Thanks. That's all I wanted to know. I said it wasn't really related to this. Sorry. Zaremba: Well, it is an orientation in the neighborhood. The former applicant was hoping to connected to Wainwright at some time and this is the same Wainwright. Newton-Huckabay: Oh, maybe that's where I got confused. Okay. Moe: Mr. Chairman? Zaremba: Commissioner Moe. Moe: I move we close the Public Hearing on AZ 05-047 and PP 05-050. Rohm: Second. Zaremba: We have a motion and a second. All in favor say aye. Any opposed? That motion carries. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Moe: Mr. Chairman? Zaremba: Commissioner Moe. Moe: I move to recommend approval to City Council of file numbers AZ 05-047 and PP 05-050, as presented in the staff report for the hearing date of November 3rd, 2005, and Meridian Planning & Zoning November 3. 2005 Page 53 of 53 the preliminary plat dated August 3rd, 2005, with the following changes: Under site the specific requirements 1.1.3, starting at the second sentence where they talk about the landscape -- land being prepared, change that to in lieu of the Land Group, put Harvest Design, dated August the 12th, in lieu of the September 15th date. And, then, on 8.1, delete the second sentence starting with the facilities involved. End of motion. Rohm: Second. Zaremba: We have a motion and a second. All in favor say aye. Any opposed? Motion carries. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Moe: Mr. Chairman? Zaremba: Commissioner Moe. Moe: I move we adjourn. Borup: Second. Zaremba: We have a motion and a second. All in favor say aye.
