7. COMMENTS MEETING
On October 14, 2005 Planning Staff held an agency comments meeting. The agencies and departments
present include: Meridian Fire Department, Meridian Police Department, Meridian Parks Department,
Meridian Public Works Department, and the Sanitary Services Company. Staff has included all comments
and recommended actions as Conditions of Approval in the attached Exhibit B.
8. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS
The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designates the property as "Public/Quasi Public"
and it is currently zoned RUT. Public/Quasi Public is defined as "Areas are designated to
preserve and protect exi~.ting private, municipal, state, and federal lands for area residents and
visitors (emphasis added)." Proposals on lands designated on public and quasi-public should be
considered by the surrounding land uses. While the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use map
does not explicitly support the proposed zone change, staff fmds that there is a strong argument
that the Comprehensive Plan policies do support the proposed zone change. A key component of
this argument is the relative flexibility of Meridian's Comprehensive Plan as described in Chapter
I, Section B of the Comprehensive Plan. "The Meridian Comprehensive Plan is an official policy
guide for decisions concerning the physical development of the community. It indicates, in a
general way, how the community may develop in the next five to ten years." Furthermore, in
Chapter VII, Section C Future Conditions states the following: "Figure VII-2 [The
Comprehensive Land Use Map] depicts desired future land use categories and their location
within the Impact Area. The areas depicted on the map are conceptual and, therefore, will require
further analysis prior to the creation of a zoning map."
In addition, the lands immediately to the east and south of the property are designated Mixed-Use
Community on the Future Land Use map, and there is a very large area of land designated as
Mixed.Use Regional around the future Ten Mile interchange on 1-84 to the south. These
properties to the south are anticipated to develop as a mix of commercial and high density
residential projects and Staff fmds that the proposed medium high-density development will act
as a suitable transitional use from the medium-density properties to the north to the anticipated
higher intensity developments to the south. The location of a medium-high density development

CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF JANUARY 19,2006
adjacent to what will soon become a major transportation corridor and connection to 1-84 is
supported by the Comprehensive Plan.
The following Comprehensive Plan policies apply to the subject application:
. Require that development projects have planned for the provision of all public services
(Chapter VII, Goal ill, Objective A, Action 1).
When the City established its Area of City Impact, it planned to provide City services to the
subject properties. The City of Meridian plans to provide municipal services to the lands
proposed to be annexed in the following manner:
. Sanitary sewer and water service will be extended to the project at the
applicant's expense.
The subject lands currently lie within the jurisdiction of the Meridian Rural Fire
District. Once annexed the lands will be under the jurisdiction of the Meridian
City Fire Department, who currently shares resource and personnel with the
Meridian Rural Fire Department.
The subject lands currently lie within the jurisdiction of the Ada County Sheriff's
Office. Once annexed the lands will be serviced by the Meridian Police
Department (MPD).
The roadways adjacent to the subject lands are currently owned and maintained
by the Ada County Highway District (ACHD). This service will not change.
.
.
.
Municipal, fee-supported, services will be provided by the Meridian Building Department,
the Meridian Public Works Department, the Meridian Water Department, the Meridian
Wastewater Department, the Meridian Planning and Zoning Department, Meridian Utility
Billing Services, and Sanitary Services Company.
. 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 10).
This proposal meets the Comprehensive Plan definition of high-density, with a gross density
of 12.77 dwelling units per acre and adds to the variety of housing in Meridian.
Designate specific areas with adequate public services for high density residential
(Chapter VII Goal V Objective A, Action 1).
The proposed development is adequately served by public services.
.
Locate high-density development, where possible, near open space corridors or other
permanent major open space and park facilities, Old Town, and near major access
thoroughfares (Chapter VII Goal V Objective A, Action 14).
The proposed development is near a community park and an elementary school, and is
located on a Collector Roadway adjacent to an Arterial Roadway, which will soon have
direct access to I~84.
.
. Provide for a wide diversity of housing types (single-family, modular, mobile homes and
multi~family arrangements) and choices between ownership and rental dwelling units for
all income groups in a variety of locations suitable for residential development (Chapter
VII Goal V Objective A, Action 4).
The applicant has proposed a multifamily development, which adds to the diversity of

housing in Meridian.
9. ZONING ORDINANCE
a. Zoning Schedule of Use Control: Meridian City Code 11-2-1 lists apartment houses as
conditional use in the R-15 zoning district.
b. Purpose Statement of Zone: Medium High Density Residential District: The purpose of the
R-15 district is to permit the establishment of medium-high density single family attached and
multi family dwellings at a density not exceeding (15) dwelling units per acre. All such
districts must have direct access to transportation arterial or collector, abut or have access to
park or open space corridor, and be connected to the Municipal water and sewer systems of the
City. The predominant housing types in this District will be patio homes, zero lot line single-
family dwellings, townhouses, apartment buildings and condominiums.
10. ANALYSIS
a. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation
ANNEXATION ANALYSIS: Based on the policies and goals contained in the Comprehensive
Plan and the general compliance of the proposed development with the Zoning Ordinance, staff
believes that this is a good location for the proposed multifamily development. Please see Exhibit
D for detailed analysis offacts and fmdings.
The annexation legal description submitted with the application (prepared on September 22, 2005
by Terry Peugh, PLS) shows the property as contiguous to the existing corporate boundary of the
City of Meridian.
That the applicant will be responsible for all costs associated with the sewer and water service
extension. Any existing domestic wells and/or septic systems within this project will have to be
removed from their domestic service, per City Ordinance Section 5-7-517, when services are
available from the City of Meridian. Wells may be used for non-domestic purposes such as
landscape irrigation.
That all future development of the subject property shall be constructed in accordance with City
of Meridian ordinances in effect at the time of development. All future uses shall not involve
uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be
detrimental to any persons, property or the general welfare by reason of excessive production
of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors.
PRELIMINARY PLAT ANALYSIS: Based on the policies and goals contained in the
Comprehensive Plan and the general compliance of the proposed development with the Zoning
Ordinance, staff believes that this is a good location for the proposed multi-family? residential
products. Please see Exhibit D for detailed analysis of facts and findings.
1. Street Buffer along W. Pine Avenue and N. Ten Mile Road: The applicant has proposed
a 20-foot landscape buffer along W. Pine Avenue and a 20-foot buffer is required by
ordinance. A 25-foot landscape buffer is required along N. Ten Mile Road and the
applicant has proposed a 25-foot landscape buffer. The effective buffer along N. Ten
Mile Road is much larger, due to the location of common open space between the
proposed development and N. Ten Mile Road.

CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF JANUARY 19,2006
2. Landscaping and Open Space: Staff is supportive of the proposed landscaping design.
The applicant is proposing to set aside 1.63 acres (13% of the prop eliy) , exclusive of
required landscaping, for open space, which meets the requirements of MCC 12h13-16
which requires that multi-family developments shall provide conullon open space that
equals or exceeds 10% of the gross land area of the development. All common lots which
are approved as open space, and will function as drainage areas, shall be vegetated and
usable by residents.
3. Pressure Irrigation: The City of Meridian requires that pressurized irrigation systems be
supplied by a year-round source of water (MCC 12-13-8.3). The applicant should be
required to utilize any existing surface or well water for the primary source. If a surface
or well source is not available, a single-point connection to the culinary water system
shall be required. If a single-point connection is utilized, the developer will be
responsible for the payment of assessments for the common areas plior to signature on
the final plat by the City Engineer. An underground, pressurized irrigation system should
be installed to all landscape areas per the approved specifications and in accordance with
MCC 12-13-8 and MCC 9-1-28.
4. Fencing: The applicant shall submit a detailed fencing plan with the final plat application
for the subdivision. Ifpermanent fencing is not provided, temporary construction fencing
to contain debris must be installed around the perimeter prior to issuance of a building
permit. All fences should taper down to 3 feet maximum within 20 feet of all right-of-
way. All fencing should be installed in accordance with MCC 12-4-10.
s. Micro-paths: All micro-paths shall be constructed in accordance withMCC 12-13-1S.
6. Common Areas: Maintenance of all common areas shall be the responsibility of the
Ellensburg Home Owners' Association.
7. Ditches. Laterals. and Canals: There are existing irrigation ditches that run along the
perimeter of this parcel. The Ten Mile Stub Drain runs along the northern boundary of
this site. Natural waterways or drains are allowed to remain open and Staff recommends
that the City not require the applicant to tile the Ten Mile Stub Drain abutting this site.
Per MCC 12-4-13 all irrigation ditches, laterals or canals, exclusive of natural waterways,
the Ten Mile Stub Drain and waterways being used as amenities, that intersect, cross or
lie within the area being subdivided shall be covered.
8. Private Streets: The proposed private streets meet the standards set forth in UDC 11-3FA
and the applicant shall submit private street applications to the Meridian Planning
Department for each of the three proposed private streets prior submittal of the final plat
for the subdivision.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT ANALYSIS: Based on the policies and goals contained in the
Comprehensive Plan and the general compliance of the proposed development with the Zoning
Ordinance, staff believes that this is a good location for the proposed development and it will
promote the best interests of the City of Meridian. Please see Exhibit D for detailed analysis of
facts and findings.
1. Planned Development: The applicant has requested reductions to the required frontage
requirement of the R-15 zone, which is so feet. The applicant has proposed 0 feet of
Ellensburg Subdivision AZ-05-051, PP-05-052, CUP-05-047

CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF JANUARY 19, 2006
frontage for the residential lots in the subdivision, and aU building lots will front on a drive
aisle contained on Lot 2, Block 1.
2. Elevations: The applicant has submitted elevations for the proposed buildings and all
construction will substantially comply with the submitted building elevations.
3. Amenities: MCC 12-6-2 requires that Planned Developments shall provide at least 2
amenities. The applicant has proposed a total of four amenities: pool, walking trails,

intent of the Planned Development guidelines.
4. Private Open Space: MCC 12-6-2-4 requires that each dwelling unit shall have at least 100
square feet of usable private open space, such as a patio or deck.
5. New MuIti-Familv Standards: The subject applications were submitted prior to the
adoption of the Unified Development Code on September 15, 2005 and are being
considered under the provisions of Titles 11 and 12, which were the previous zoning and
subdivision ordinances. Staff feels that it is important to consider the standards that the
development would be required to meet if the application were turned in after September
15,2005. The standards and staff analysis (in italics) are as follows:
1. Multifamilv Standards: UDC 11-4-3.27B:
1. Setbacks: Buildings shall provide a minimum setback of 10 feet, unless
a greater setback is otherwise required by the UDc. The project
complies with this standard as submitted.
2. Service areas: On-site service areas, outdoor storage areas, waste
storage, disposal facilities, and transformer or utility vaults shall be fully
screened from view from any public street. The project complies with
this standard as submitted.
3. Private, usable open space: A minimum of 80 square feet of private,
usable open space shall be provided for each unit. The project complies
with this standard as submitted.
4. Developments with 20 units or more shall provide the following: A
property management office, a maintenance storage area, a central
mailbox location, and a directory and map of the development at a
convenient location. The application has not proposed any of these items
to be included in the development.
111.
ii. Covered Parkin!!: UDC 11-3C-6 requires that multifamily developments shall
provide parking as follows: for 1 bedroom units, there shall be two parking
spaces with one in a covered carport or garage; and for units with more than one
bedroom, 2 parking spaces shall be provided in a covered carport or garage. The
applicant has not proposed any covered parking.
Amenities: UDC 11-4-3.27 requires that multi-family developments of 75 units
or more shall provide 4 amenities, with at least one from each category, and that
"for multi. family developments with more than 100 units, the decision-making
body shall require additional amenities commensurate to the size of the proposed
development." The project complies with this standard as submitted, by
providing the following qualifying amenities: 1. pool; 2. walking trails; 3.
clubhouse; 4. tot lot,' and 5. grassy area of at least fifty feet by one hundredfeel.
Ellensburg Subdivision AZ-05-0S1, PP-OS-OS2, CUP-OS-O47
PAGE 8
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF JANUARY 19,2006
Open Space: Common open space for the development shall meet the
requirements ofUDC 11-4-3.27C which requires that open space be provided at
the following rates: lS0 square feet for each unit containing SOO square feet or
less of living space; 2S0 square feet for each unit containing more than SOO
square feet and up to 1,200 square feet of living space; and 350 square feet for
each unit containing more than 1,200 square feet of living space. Eligible
common space shall not be less than 400 square feet in area and shall have a
minimum length and width of 20 feet. Eligible common space shall not be
adjacent to collector or arterial streets unless separated from the street by a
constructed barrier at lest four feet in height. The project appears to comply with
this standard as submitted, but staff has inadequate information to be certain.
v. Elevations: Building elevations for the development shall comply with the
architectural standards set forth in UDC 11-4-3.27D. The submitted elevations
do not appear to meet these standards.
Staff recommends that the Commission and Council consider the above stated
requirements for multi-family developments submitted under the Unified Development
Code and determine if the subject proposal should be subject to some or all of said
requirements. As a Conditional Use Permit. the Commission and Council may include
any conditions deemed necessary to insure compatibilitv of the development with other
uses in the vicinity and such additional safeguards as are necessary to uphold the intent of
the Ordinance.
lV.
b. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of AZ-05~OSI, PP-OS-052, and CUP~OS-
047 for Ellensburg Subdivision as presented in the staff report for the hearing date of January 19,
2006 based on the Findings of Fact as listed in Exhibit D and subject to the conditions of approval

CITY OF MERTDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF JANUARY 19, 2006
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:
1. The map amendment complies with the applicable provisions of the comprehensive
plan;
The applicant is proposing to zone all of the subj ect property to R -15. 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.
2.
The map amendment complies with the regulations outlined for the proposed
district, specifically the purpose statement;
Staff finds that multifamily residential uses are allowed within the requested zoning
district ofR-15 as a Conditional Use. 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;
3.
4.
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 determining this finding.
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 ofinterest ofthe City (UDC 11-5B-3.E).
5.
The R-15 zoning amendment will provide lots that are similar in nature to existing
subdivisions in the near vicinity. Staff fmds 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. This is a logical expansion of the City
limits. In accordance with the findings listed above, staff finds that Annexation and
Zoning: of this property to R-15 would be in the best interest of the City.
2. Preliminary Plat Findings:
In consideration of a preliminary plat, combined preliminary and final plat, or short plat,
the decision-making body shall make the following findings:
1.
Exhibit D
The plat is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan;
Staff finds that the proposed application is in substantial compliance with the adopted
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF JANUARY 19, 2006
Comprehensive Plan. Staff generally supports the proposed plat layout and proposed
density as they comply with the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan. Please see
Comprehensive Plan Policies and Goals, Section 8, of the Staff Report.
2.
Public services are available or can be made available and are adequate to
accommodate the proposed development;
3.
Staff finds that public services are available to accommodate the proposed development.
(See Eliding Items 3 and 4 above under Annexation Findings for more details.)
The plat is in conformance with scheduled public improvements in accord with the
City's capital improvement program;
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;
4.
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 Findings above, and the Agency Comments and
Conditions in Exhibit B for more detail.)
The development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or general
welfare; and
5.
Staff is not aware of any health, safety or envirorunental 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
envirorunental problems of which staff is unaware.
The development preserves significant natural, scenic or historic features.
Staff is unaware of any natural, scenic or historic features on this site. Therefore, staff
finds that the proposed development will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of
any natural, scenic or historic feature(s) of major importance. Staff recommends that the
Commission and Council reference any public testimony that may be presented to
determine whether or not the proposed development may destroy or damage a natural or
scenic feature(s) of major importance of which staff is unaware.

Exhibit D
2.
That the proposed use will be harmonious with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan
and in accord with the requirements of this Title.
Staff finds that the proposal meets the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan as listed in
Section 8 of this report. See Annexation and Zoning Findings # 1 and 2 above.
That the design, construction, operation and maintenance will be compatible with
other uses in the general neighborhood and with the existing or intended character
of the general vicinity and that such use will not adversely change the essential
character of the same area.
Staff finds that the proposed use as a multifamily development complies with the uses
conditionally permitted in the R~15 zone. The building height, parking layout, landscape
buffer widths and other dimensional standards shown in the application comply with the
UDC, subject to the conditions contained in this report. Staff recommends that the
Commission and Council reference any public testimony that may be presented to
determine whether or not the proposal will adversely affect the other properties in the

will not adversely affect other property in the vicinity.
Staff finds that the proposed development will not adversely affect other property in the
vicinity if the applicant complies with all CUP conditions and constructs all

recognizes that traffic volumes will significantly increase, but increased traffic volumes
in the City of Meridian are a widespread problem that is beyond the scope of this
approval.
That the proposed use will be served adequately by essential public facilities and
services such as highways, streets, schools, parks, police and fire protection,
drainage structures, refuse disposal, water, and sewer.
5.
6.

That the proposed use will not create excessive additional costs for public facilities
and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community.
Staff finds that the applicant will pay to extend the sanitary sewer and water mains into
the site. No additional capital facility costs are expected from the City. The applicant
and/or future property owners will be required to pay highway impact fees.
That the proposed use will not involve activities or processes, materials, equipment
and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property or the
general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes,
glare or odors.
Staff [lids that the proposed development will not involve uses that will create
nuisances that would be detrimental to the general welfare of the surrounding area.
Staff does not believe that the amount of traffic or noise generated will be detrimental
to the general welfare of the public. Staff recommends that the Commission and
Council reference any public testimony that may be presented to detemrine whether or
not the proposal may cause health, safety or environmental problems of which staff is
unaware.
7.

called to order at 7:00 p.m. by Chairman David Zaremba.
Members Present: Chairman David Zaremba, Commissioner Keith Borup,
Commissioner Wendy-Newton-Huckabay, Commissioner Michael Rohm, and

Roll-call
X Keith Borup X David Moe
X Wendy Newton-Huckabay X Michael Rohm
X Chairman David Zaremba
Zaremba: Good evening, everybody. Welcome to this regularly scheduled Planning
and Zoning Commission meeting for Thursday, November 3rd. We will begin with a roll
call of Commissioners.
Item 2:
Adoption of the Agenda:
Zaremba: Next item is the adoption of the agenda and we will take each item in order,
but there are some items we are not going to talk about tonight, even some of them we
have people signed up for. So, let me tell you what's going to happen. Item 4 on Kohl's
Department Store we will discuss. Items 5 and 6, the McGee property, and the
Carrington property -- apparently there was either a failure or improper notice about this
hearing tonight and the thought is not everybody has been notified who might want to
be here. We will not discuss 5 and 6 tonight. We will continue that until the 17th of this
month. So, there will be no discussion on McGee or Carrington, but we will have that
full discussion with everybody present November 17th. Items 7 and 8 that relate to
Sunstone Subdivision we will talk about tonight. Items 9 -- thank you all. Come back
again in two weeks. Items 9, 10, and 11 that relate to Ellensburg Subdivision and also
12 and 13 that relate to Estancia Subdivision, both of those subdivisions have not been
reviewed by ACHD yet. The latest word they will not be reviewed and to our staff even
by our December 1 st meeting. So, both Ellensburg and Estancia, Items 9, 10, 11, 12,
13, we will continue until our meeting of December 15th and not discuss those tonight
either, other than to continue them. Then, the final thing on our agenda is Milford Creek
and we will have a full hearing on that tonight. So, the items that we will discuss tonight
are 4, 7, 8, and 14, 15. And if you're here for one of the others, we invite you to come
back at another time. And let the record show that Commissioner Borup has joined us.
We are all here. That being said, unless I hear any other objections, we will consider
the agenda adopted as is.

Borup: Second.
Zaremba: Okay. We have a motion and a second. All in favor say aye. Any opposed?
We have four in favor and one opposed. The motion carries.
MOTION CARRIED: FOUR AYES. ONE NAY.
Zaremba: And thank you all very much. Traditionally we take a break -- I'm sorry, I
thought you did them both.
Borup: Yes, you did.
Rohm: I didn't do the preliminary plat.
Borup: Yes, you did, actually. You mentioned both in your thing. And then -- but, then,
you went back and added the change to the zoning.
Baird: Mr. Chair and Members of the Commission, it is okay that you bundle them if
they are just recommendations and we were listening when the changes were made,
that a couple of changes affected only the zoning and a couple of -- I mean one of them,
the deletion, only affected the preliminary plat. So, I think your record is clear on that.
We are fine.
Zaremba: But we are agreeing that both were combined in that one motion?
Baird: Correct.
Zaremba: That's the way I heard it.
Baird: Yes.
Zaremba: Okay. Thank you all very much, then. The motion carries four to one. And
as I started to say, we traditionally take a break around 9:00 o'clock. We will do so now
for ten, 15 minutes, then, we will reconvene.

RE:
Land Use Change Application - Ellensbura Subdivision
Please note the District now re uires three
Dear Mr. Bailey:
Enclosed please find a Land Use Change Application for your use to file with the Irrigation
District for its review on the above-referenced development. If this development is under a
"rush" to be finalized, I would recommend that you submit a cashier's check, money order or
cash as payment of the fees in order to speed the process up. If you submit a company or
personal check, it must clear the bank before processing the application.
Should this development be planning a pressure urban irrigation system that will be owned,
operated and maintained by the Irrigation District, I strongly urge you to coordinate with John P.
Anderson, Water Superintendent for the Irrigation District, concerning the installation of the
pressure system. Enclosed is a questionnaire that you must fill out and return in order to initiate
the process of contractual agreements between the owner or developer and the Irrigation
District for the ownership, operation and maintenance of the pressure urban irrigation system.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please feel free to call on me at the District's
office, or John P. Anderson, at the District's shop.

We live on West Pine Avenue, the extension of West Pine west ofTen Mile Road.
Recently, we received a letter ITom the city regarding the parcel of ground directly north
of us, between Pine Lane and the stub drain to the north. This is property we currently
farm. West Pine is a private road owned by the 7 home owners on W. Pine. All of us
have lived and farmed here for ttom 12-28 years. The new owner/developer is seeking
to annex & rezone to R-15. The access and egress would have to be accessed ITom our
,.
private road. We are very upset by this. We have (as all our neighbors do) substantial
homes and agricultural ground. We all have stock.
We were assured by this same developer that Ghesterfield would not bring additional
autos, dogs, and people to our private road. We have already had considerable problems
because the developer has not followed through on the commitments they made at
previous hearings.
The core of the problem is the city of Meridian comp plan which in this case is literally
leading developers in this direction. We feel that this plan is flawed and wrong. It has
, no regard for the existing home and land owners and the way of life they have enjoyed
for many years.
, -
Why bring this type of housing to our neighborhood? We are asking you to reject this
proposal as is.

Re:

Planning and Zoning Commission Members,
As of October 28, 2005, staff has not received comments from the Ada County
Highway District regarding Ellensburg Subdivision (AZ-05-051 and PP-05-052). The
Highway District is awaiting the results of a Traffic Impact Study (TIS) that was
required for the development, and does not have a report available for review by
City staff.
Staff recommends that the Ellensbura Subdivision AZ and PP hearinas on the
November 3, 2005 Plannina and Zonina Commission aaenda should be continued
to the next available hearina which the applicant feels will aive ACHD sufficient time
to complete their review.

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 ofthe Ellensburg Subdivision will have a significant impact on school
enrollments at Chapan-al Elementary. Meridian Middle. and Meridian High School.
We can predict that these homes, when completed, will house fifty (50) elementary aged
children, forty-five (45) middle school aged children, and thirty-five (35) 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
currently operating beyond capacity. Future development will continue to have an impact
on the district's capacity. If you have any questions, please contact me at 855-4500.
Sincerely,

reports shall be based on the following components as they may apply to land
use regulations and actions unless the plan specifies reasons why a particular
component is unneeded.
(a) Property Rights -- An analysis of provisions which may be necessary
to insure that land use policies, restrictions, conditions and £ees do not

RE:
land Use Change Application - Ellensbura Subdivision
Please note the District now reQuires three (3) sets of plans
To Whom It May Concern:
Enclosed please find a land Use Change Application for your use to file with the Irrigation
District for its review on the above-referenced development. If this development is under a
"rush" to be finalized, I would recommend that you submit a cashier's check, money order or
cash as payment of the fees in order to speed the process up. If you submit a company or
personal check, it must clear the bank before processing the application.
Should this development be planning a pressure urban irrigation system that will be owned,
operated and maintained by the Irrigation District, I strongly urge you to coordinate with John P.
Anderson, Water Superintendent for the Irrigation District, concerning the installation of the
pressure system. Enclosed is a questionnaire that you must fill out and return in order to initiate
the process of contractual agreements between the owner or developer and the Irrigation
District for the ownership, operation and maintenance of the pressure urban irrigation system.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please feel free to call on me at the District's
office, or John P. Anderson, at the District's shop.
Sincerely,
