Planning and Zoning Commission
Testimony by Lesa Becker
3421 S. Selatir PI.
Meridian, ID
The Road to Nowhere
■ Why a stub street to the North?
■ ACHD Report dated 3/21/06: "The applicant is
Proposing a stub street to the North of the property
line." "When the property to the North re -develops,
District staff anticipates that a connection could be made
to Selatir street."
■ Applicant has stated they "did not propose this stub" and
"do not think it is good for the neighborhood." (Gordon
Bates, Vision First, aisioe�
■ Any re -development to North is restricted to one
acre lots, which have access off Selatir.
f Oppose the Stub street on North
boundary
■ ACHD stub street policy (7203.51) - "should cause
no undue hardship to adjoining property"
■ 170+ vehicle trips (Hendrickson) and potentially
500 (Kingsbridge) trips a day will cause undue
hardship/danger due to narrow roadway
■ ACHD policy on 36-ft street section (7204.4.2)
Developments with buildable lots less than 1 acre
will provide streets having minimum pavement
width of 32 feet with curbs, gutter, sidewalks
,APR - �
Oppose Northern Stub
■ Selatir was designed and built as a dead
end culdesac to access six five -acre estate
lots. Road width: 23.5 ft wide with open
barrow pits for irrigation drainage
a Hendrickson Development already has 2
other access points - one through existing
high density subdivision and another to
an undeveloped street (Bolt Lane) with
access to Cloverdale
Comprehensive Plan
■ Existing land use development patterns
provides a basis for future land use
decisions" (Chapter Vn, pg, 85).
■ The proposed development abuts 5 acre
estates ranging in value from approximately $.5
- 1 million
■ Dumping urban density traffic into this
neighborhood does not comply with
comprehensive plan and does not preserve the
integrity of the neighborhood.
Oppose Northern Stub —1 '0J
■ Future development on Selatir is restricted
to "no less than one gross acre" based on
restrictive covenants.
■ Any future development on Selatir can be
accessed from Selatir, and would also be
11 consistent with existing land use" in this
neighborhood.
Therefore
■ I respectfully request you deny the stub street
to the North (the road to nowhere) because it
does not comply with:
■ ACHD stub street policy (7203.51), creating an undue
hardship (670 car trips daily on a 23.5 ft wide rural
residential road)
■ ACHD policy on 36-ft street section (7204.4.2)
Developments with buildable lots less than 1 acre
(due to density of Hendrickson and Kingsbridge
subdividions)
Legal Issues
■ We will enforce the restrictive Covenants
of Bridewood Subdivision recorded on
January 25m, 1991, ensuring "re-
development to the north will be
comprised of no more than 4 one -acre
lots.
