Re: Request for a Final Plat Approval of Marlin Subdivision No. 1 — Eighty-two (82)
Building Lots and Four (4) Other Lots on 23.25 Acres in an R-4 Zone (Approved as a
Planned Development) by the W. H. Moore Company (File No. FP 02-015)
We have reviewed this submittal and offer the following comments, as conditions of the
applicant. These conditions shall be considered in full, unless expressly modified or deleted by
motion of the Meridian City Council:
APPLICATION SUMMARY & LOCATION
This is the first of two (2) proposed phases of Marlin Subdivision, located on the east side of Linder
Road, adjacent to and directly north of I-84. The first phase of the subdivision includes two large
park/open-spaces, pathways, the entire Linder Road and I-84 landscape buffer/berms and the
completion of a street (W. Verbena Drive) that will connect Marlin Subdivision to the Landing
Subdivision. The gross density of Phase No. 1 is 3.5 dwelling units/acre.
The large majority of the lots within the subdivision do not meet the minimum lot dimensions as
required by the Meridian City Code, but because the subdivision was approved as a Planned
Development the reduced lot sizes are allowable. Additionally, minimum house sizes within the
subdivision have been reduced for some lots from between 1,400 square feet and 1000 square feet.
The property is located in an area that was designated as "Mixed/ Planned Use Development" in the
1993 Comprehensive Plan
SITE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS
Applicant is to meet all terms of the approved preliminary plat, conditional use permit and
development agreement.
2. If the pressurized irrigation system within this development is to remain a private homeowners
association system, complete plans and specifications shall be reviewed by the Public Works
Department as part of the development plan review process. A draft copy of the pressurized
irrigation system O&M manual must be submitted prior to plan approval. The City of Meridian
FP-02-0I5 requires that pressurized irrigation systems be supplied by a year-round source of water. If a

encountered at some fairly deep depths within the project site. Design engineer to provide a
statement of compliance, prior to the approval of development plans, that certifies that the
centerline finish grade of the streets, public or private, is at least three feet above the
established normal ground water elevation. This is an effort to ensure that the building footings
are at least one foot above the high groundwater.

8. The following notes shall be added to the face of the plat:
7) Fencing adjacent to the micro path adjacent to Lots 9 and 10 of Block 1 shall be limited in

plat per Resolution 02-374.
