SUBJECT: Oakwind Estates - Development Agreement Modification (H-2020-0093)
Staff Report for October 21, 2020 Commission Meeting
McDermott Road north of McMillan Road
___________________________________________________________________________________
Summary
The applicant is requesting approval of a development agreement modification with the City of Meridian
to allow for the addition of 2 product-e types; townhomes and patio homes to be constructed within The
Oaks Subdivision. This development agreement is specific to a preliminary plat application for
Oakwind Estates, a revised preliminary plat for a portion of the previously approved subdivision, The
Oaks. The Oaks Subdivision is located north of McMillan Road and adjacent to McDermott Road. No
other modifications to the development agreement are proposed. ACHD has no comments regarding the
requested change in housing types.
The site that is subject to the development agreement modification was included as part of The Oaks
Subdivision. ACHD reviewed and approved the preliminary platin 2013. ACHD is not a party to the
development agreement. As part of that preliminary plat application collector roadways were required
to be constructed through the site (north/south and east/west) and are proposed to stub to adjacent
parcels, consistent with the Master Street Map. The north/south collector, Rustic Oak Way, is planned to
extend from McMillan Road thru the site, and up to a recently approved preliminary plat, Prescott
Ridge, which is being developed by Hubble Homes. As Hubble develops their site, eventually the
collector will connect to Chinden Boulevard as a signalized intersection. Currently the only segment of
Rustic Oak Way that is constructed is within The Oaks Subdivision. Rustic Oak Way is being
constructed by the applicant, Toll Bros, based on the phasing of their development. While a majority of
Rustic Oak Way has been constructed, a short portion which is proposed to stub to the north has not yet
been constructed, due to the phasing plan for The Oaks Subdivision. Hubble Homes has requested that
Rustic Oak Way be extended to their site so that they can access City of Meridian utilities from the

south. The Hubble site also has frontage and public street access to McDermott Road and Chinden
Boulevard.
The ACHD Commission is concerned about the timing of the completion of Rustic Oak Way thru both
the Hubble and the Oaks Subdivision. Mid-mile collectors are an integral piece of our transportation
network, as they provide connectivity, alternative travel routes, and reduce trips on the arterial network
which is key in this fast-growing area of Meridian.
The ACHD Commission encourages Meridian to use this development agreement modification as an
opportunity to encourage both the Toll and Hubble developers to collaboratively construct the mid mile
collector, Rustic Oak Way, in a timely manner.
