Lot 18, Block 7, and Lot 2, Block 6, do not meet the minimum 80-foot frontage requirement for
the R-4 zone. Revise plat to conform. Staff will not support a variance to the frontage
requirement for these lots.
11,
What is the purpose of providing 60 feet of right-of-way for Autumn Faire Way? Ada County
Highway District did not designate this road a collector. If the road were a collector, no front-
on housing would be allowed. This road should be designed to the appropriate standard within
the appropriate right-of-way.
12.

development. The developer shall enter into an operation and maintenance agreement with the
City of Meridian. Applicant will be responsible to construct lateral sewer mains to and through

existing Ashford Greens sanitary sewer lift station and water main extension. Payment of all
applicable latecomers fees for this phase shall be required prior to signature on the final plat.
18.
Staff's failure to cite specific ordinance provisions or terms of the approved preliminary plat
does not relieve Applicant of responsibility for compliance.
