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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Conclusion
We believe that the revised conceptual site plan will improve upon the conceptual development plans included
in the original DA for the Bountiful Commons project. 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.
Should you have questions or require further information in order to process these applications, please feel free
