11.
Capital Improvements Plan/Five Year Work Program
There are no roadway projects within this area that are programmed in the District's Five Year Work
Program or Capital Improvements Plan to be improved.
B.
Findings for Consideration
1.
Meridian Road
Right-ot-Way and Improvements
District policy requires 96-feet of right-of-way on arterial roadways (Figure 72-F1 B). This right-of-way
allows for the construction of a 5-lane roadway with curb, gutter, 5-foot concrete detached sidewalks
and bike lanes.
District policy requires 7-foot wide attached (or 5-foot detached) concrete sidewalk on all collector
roadways and arterial roadways (7204.7.2).
. Meridian Road is currently improved with 3-traffic lanes with vertical curb, gutter and sidewalk
within a total of SO-feet of right-of-way. Due to the fact that Meridian Road is fully improved
and is not scheduled to be improved with the District's Five Year Work Program or Capital
Improvements Plan, the District will not require the dedication of additional right-of-way or the
construction of new improvements at this time.
Access
District policy 72-F5, requires driveways located on collector or arterial roadways with a speed limit of
35 to align or offset a minimum of 150-feet from any existing or proposed driveway.
. The applicant is proposing to utilize the existing 20-foot wide driveway that intersects Meridian
Road approximately 20-feet north of the south property line. This driveway is located
approximately 45-feet south of Indian Rocks Street. This driveway does not meet District
policy in regard to minimum offsets. Staff is willing to recommend a modification of policy to
allow the driveway to remain IF:
1. The applicant provides an on site turnaround that allows vehicles entering Meridian
Road to enter had on as opposed to backing out onto an arterial roadway.
2. The applicant paves the driveway it full width of 20-feet into the site a minimum of
30-feet to eliminate gravel and debris being tracked onto the roadway.
2,
Stub Streets
District policy 7205-5 states that stub streets will be required to provide intra-neighborhood circulation
or to provide access to adjoining properties- Stub streets will conform with the requirements
described in Section 7204 ,,5, 7204.6 and 7204.7, except a temporary cui-de-sac wili not be required ij
the stub street has a length no greater than 150-feet. A sign shall be installed at the terminus of the
stub street stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE". In addition, a stub
street must meet the following conditions: .
1. A stub street shall be designed to slope towards the street intersection and drain surface water
toward that intersection, unless a satisfactory storm drain system is installed.
2. The District may require appropriate covenants guaranteeing that the stub street will remain free of
obstructions.
. The applicant is proposing to extend East Hawk Street from the east property nne. Staff is
supportiVe of the applicant's proposal to extend East Hawk Street into the site from the east
property line due to the fact that Hawk Street was previoUsly approved and constructed as a
stub street as a part of Fothergill Subdivision.
. The applicant is proposing \0 extend North Larchmont Avenue into the site from the south
property line. North Larchrnont Avenue is culTently not constructed but was required to be
extended to the south property line as a part of Breinholt Subdivision. Staff is supportive of
the applicant's proposal to extend North Larchmonl Avenue and provide inlra-neighborhood
connectivity and circulation.
3.
street Sections
District policy 7204.4.2 states. 'developments with any buildable lot that is less that 1-acre in size will
typically provide streets having a minimum pavement width of 32-feet with curb. gutter and sidewalks,
The total street width shall be 36-feet from bacl<-of-curb to bacl<-of-curb. Variations of this width may
be allowed. depending on traffic volumes forecast to be generated by the development. Concrete
sidewalks shall be a minimum of 5-feet in width unless they are separated from the curb 5-feet or
more in which case the sidewalk shall be a minimum of 4-feet in width.
. The applicant is proposing to construclthe internal streets as 36-loot street sections with
rolled curb, gutter and 5-foot concrete sidewalks within 50-feet of right-of-way. This street
section meets District policy and should be approved with this application.

Dear Terry Pugh:
Enclosed please find a Land Use Change Application for your use to file with the Irrigation

uses on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map,
Support a variety of residential categories (low-, medium-, and high-density single family,
multi-family, townhouses, duplexes, apartments, condominiums, etc.) for the purpose of
providing the City with a range of affordable housing opportunities (Chapter VII, Goal IV,
Objective C, Action to)
.
The subject property is designated Medium-Density Residential on the Future Land Use Map
which identifies this area as an appropriate area for medium-density residential
development, This proposal meets the Comprehensive Plan definition of medium-density,
with a gross density of 3,91 dwelling units per acre,
.
Require street connections between subdivisions at regular intervals to enhance connectivity
and better traffic flow (Chapter VI, Goal II, Objective A, Action 6)

.
the common/open space around preserving some open space for drainage management,
Develop policies and incentives to encourage infill and contiguous development. (Chapter V
Goal I Objective A Action 8)
The applicant has requested similar density relative to the immediate vicinity and will be
developing smaller lots with attached housing. The applicant has continued the plans for
development and the proposal meets the agencies expectations with preservation of the
waterway and connections to existing stub streets.

project for all economic levels in a variety of areas. (Chapter VII Goal V Objective A)
.
.
The anticipated products for the site will be single family residences available to individual
buyers who are seeking a medium-small lot closer to the urban center,
Support infill of random vacant lots in substantially developed, single-family areas at
densities similar to sUITOunding development. Increased densities on random vacant lots
should be considered if: Development of uses other than single-family structures are
compatible with surrounding development as it complies with the current comprehensive
plan. (Chapter VII Goal V Objective A Action 10)
The proposed density is similar to the surrounding developments and staff finds the design to
be compatible with the existing neighborhood.
Apply design and perfonnance standards to infilling development in order to reduce adverse
impacts upon existing adjacent development. (Chapter VII Goal V Objective A Action 11)
.
Staff does not foresee negative impact on surrounding development outside of the
construction phase. The site has an existing residence which will remain and the size,
number, and quality of the houses is similar in nature to the surrounding developments that
the proposal should be indistinguishable upon build out, Attached products were used in the
development of Highgate Subdivision along Meridian Road immediately north of the site,

D. Required Findings from Zoning Ordinance
1. Annexation Findings:
Upon recommendation from the Commission, the Council shall make a full investigation
and shall, at the public hearing, review the application. In order to grant an annexation
and/or rezone, the Council shall make the following findings:
Exhibit D
1.
The map amendment complies with the applicable provisions of the comprehensive
plan;
The applicant is proposing to zone all of the subject property to R-8. Staff finds that the
proposed zoning map amendment complies with the applicable provisions of the
comprehensive plan. Please see Comprehensive Plan Policies and Goals, Section 8, of the
Staff Report.
The map amendment complies with the regulations outlined for the proposed
district, specifically the purpose statement;
2.
3.
Staff finds that single-family residential uses are allowed within the requested zoning
district of Rw8. Medium Density Residential pennits the establishment of residential uses
and is designed to protect the integrity of residential development by prohibiting the
intrusion of incompatible nonresidential uses. The accompanying plat demonstrates the
land will be developed with lot sizes, housing types and other dimensional requirements
that conform to the proposed zoning designation.
The map amendment shall not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety,
and welfare;
Staff finds that the proposed zoning amendment will not be detrimental to the public
health, safety, or welfare, Staff recommends that the Commission and Council rely on
any oral or written testimony that may be provided when detennining this fmding,
4.
The map amendment shall not result in an adverse impact upon the delivery of
services by any political subdivision providing public services within the City
including, but not limited to, school districts; and,
Staff finds that the proposed zoning amendment will not result in any adverse impact
upon the delivery of services by any political subdivision providing services to this site.
The annexation is in the best of interest of the City (UDC 11-5B-3.E).
5.
The R-8 zoning amendment will provide lots that are similar in nature to existing
subdivisions in the near vicinity, attached single family housing products are located in
Highgate Subdivision. Staff finds that all essential services are available or will be
provided by the developer to the subject property and will not require unreasonable
expenditure of public funds. The applicant is proposing to develop the land in general
compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan. Staff does not recommend lot sizes
that would be invasive to the properties adjacent to the subject property but the lot sizes
should be similar in nature and allow additional residential densities and product
opportunities for the general vicinity, Subdivisions of medium density have already been
approved for development to the south and this is a logical expansion of the City limits
for an infill project. In accordance with the findings listed above, staff finds that
annexation and zoning of this propertv would be in the best interest of the City.
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF 12/1/2005
2, Preliminary Plat Findings:
Exhibit D
In consideration of a preliminary plat, combined preliminary and final plat, or short plat,
the decision-making body shall make the following findings:
1. The plat is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan;
Staff finds that the proposed application is in substantial compliance with the adopted
Comprehensive Plan. The proposed density of 3.91 dwelling units per acre (gross) is in
the recommended dwelling units per acre for the comprehensive designation. Staff
supports the proposed layout as a practical solution to address the constraints of infill
development which has design criteria dictated by previous developments, Please see
Item 8 above.
2.
Public services are available or can be made available and are adequate to
accommodate the proposed development;
Staff finds that public services are available to accommodate the proposed development.
(See finding Items 3 and 4 above under Annexation and Zoning Analysis for more
detail.)
The plat is in conformance with scheduled public improvements in accord with the
City's capital improvement program;
3.
4.
Because the developer is installing sewer, water, and utilities for the development at their
cost, staff finds that the subdivision will not require the expenditure of capital
improvement funds,
There is public financial capability of supporting services for the proposed
development;
5.
Staff recommends the Commission and Council rely upon comments from the public
service providers (i.e., police, fire, ACHD, etc.) to determine this finding. (See finding
"Items 3 and 4 above under Annexation and Zoning Analysis above, and the Agency
Comments and Conditions at the end ofthis report for more detail.)
The development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or general
welfare; and
6.
Staff is not aware of any health, safety or environmental problems associated with the
development of this subdivision that should be brought to the Council or Commission's
attention, ACHD considers road safety issues in their analysis. Staff recommends that the
Commission and Council reference any public testimony that may be presented to
determine whether or not the proposed subdivision may cause health, safety or

Dear Planners:
The Meridian School District has experienced phenomenal student growth the last ten
years. The high schools, middle schools, and elementary schools throughout the district
are operating over capacity.
Approval of the Windham Place Subdivision will have an impact on school enrollments
at Chief Joseph Elementary. Meridian Middle. and Meridian High School.
We can predict that these homes, when completed, will house one hundred eight (8)
elementary aged children, six (6) middle school aged children, and four (4) senior high
aged students. Additional students will further compound the current overcrowded
situation. Residents cannot be assured of attending the neighborhood school, as it may be
necessary to bus students to other schools across the district.
School capacity is addressed in Idaho Code 67-6508. The Meridian School District is
