Broadway Ave., Ste. 102 Meridian, ID 83642 RE: Bountiful Commons East Subdivision - Meridian, ID Development Agreement Modification and Combined Preliminary and Final Plat Application Dear Ms. Allen: On behalf of TMEG Properties, LLC., we are pleased to submit the attached application and required supplements for a development agreement modification and combined preliminary and final plat for the Bountiful Commons East Subdivision. Site Information and Background The Bountiful Commons Subdivision is comprised of six lots east of Linder Road and approximately % mile south of Chinden Boulevard. The property was annexed and zoned into the City of Meridian in 2017 as part of the Linder Mixed Use project, file no. H-2017-0095. An associated development agreement was recorded as instrument number 2018-052340. The Bountiful Commons Subdivision was recorded in 2018 and included six commercial lots. The subject application requests to modify the existing development agreement to update the concept plan with the current proposal and a combined preliminary and final plat to subdivide a portion of Lot 1, Block 1 and the entirety of Lot 4, Block 1. A property boundary adjustment has been submitted to adjust an existing lot line to accommodate a future tenant in the northwest portion of Lot 1, Block 1(PBA-2022-0004). The resulting configuration of the property boundary adjustment is the land proposed to be subdivided via the combined preliminary and final plat process, shown below. 5725 North Discovery Way • Boise, Idaho 83713 • 208.639.6939 • kmenglip.com Development Agreement Modification Exhibit A.2 within the original DA for this property includes a conceptual plan depicting proposed development for Lots 1 & 4 in the Bountiful Commons Subdivision. The conceptual development plan included two buildings, an outdoor plaza and surface parking, as highlighted in blue below. The original concept plan was designed to accommodate a dance studio/event center that will no longer be locating within the subdivision. We propose to replace the existing concept plan with a revised concept plan to accommodate future users more effectively. r(7 Lot 5........................... ; 0.771 acres L0 1.483 acres L0 3 Lot 6 0.720 erns i-0 Original Concept Plan PAGE 12 The new proposed conceptual site plan includes four multi -tenant buildings, four outdoor plazas and surface parking for future tenants. The conceptual site plan also depicts four lots to accommodate the property configuration as proposed in the property boundary adjustment and combined preliminary and final plat. The components required with the initial development agreement are still being met, but have been modified to better fit future users on additional lots. The configuration of buildings and provision of pedestrian pathways connecting outdoor plazas supports condition 1.1.1.b of the development agreement by encouraging public space for employees, visitors and the general public to gather. Each of the outdoor areas will be central to tenants within the buildings and will be connected by internal pathways to other buildings in the complex. We believe this configuration will serve future users and adjacent properties well and meets the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed concept plan is shown below. PAGE 13 In addition to updating the concept plan, we request to omit the event center and Chili's restaurant photos included in Exhibit A.3, as the proposed user of the property is changing. We are proposing to include conceptual elevations and floorplans for the multi -tenant office building now planned in the development agreement modification. These elevations are conceptual, so may change with future applications, but provide a general idea of the type of architecture planned. liJls 0 a ■■■■0lEMIMI MIME ■■■■ ■ll! ■■■ ■■■ IONNo■ ■■■� ■■■ ■■■ ME ------------------- NORTH ELEVATION SOUTH ELEVATION 11ra11 ■■ on Concept Elevations PAGE 14 MA CMW IOCHO 2022 Combined Preliminary and Final Plat As mentioned, a property boundary adjustment application has been submitted to adjust the property line between Lots 1 and 4 to create a 31,802 square foot parcel (Parcel A) for a future tenant. The remaining property is proposed to create Parcel B, a 95,892 square foot parcel. Parcel B comprises the boundary of the property we propose to split into three lots via the combined preliminary and final plat process to establish the Bountiful Commons East subdivision. .. J—".M r ..al. �J..k I I ---------- 1-- -] ; '� i I v�pxvux. I I, Property Boundary Adjustment I The combined preliminary and final plat will consist of Lots 7-9 of Bountiful Commons East. Lots will range in size from approximately 31,000 to 33,648 square feet. Lots and future development will comply with the C-C zoning district dimensional standards. No variances or variations from city code are requested. Access is proposed via a private road through the Bountiful Commons East Subdivision to Linder Road. Lots 7 and 8 contain a 25' landscape easement buffering the adjacent residential properties that will be maintained by the individual lot owners. The 25' easement will include a 3' berm with vegetative screening to mitigate the impact of the proposed development to the existing residential properties, a detail of the berm is included in the enclosed landscape plan. 23 N W.

The configuration and orientation of the proposed conceptual site plan will create easily accessible commercial property, pedestrian amenities and open space for future tenants, while adhering to design requirements in the existing DA. The preliminary and final plat we are proposing complies with the C-C dimensional standards and will provide additional commercial opportunities in this quickly growing part of Meridian. The addition of commercial lots adjacent to a major transportation corridor and existing commercial and residential properties supports the MU-C land use designation while providing a variety of potential uses for business owners and residents in the area.
