Meridian ID, 83642
City Staff and Commissioners,
Thank your for the opportunity to submit this development application for Torino Locust Grove
Subdivision. The proposed development is located at 870 S Locust Grove Rd, Meridian, ID
83642. The application consists of a request for annexation and rezone. This narrative will
describe these applications as follows:
We propose to annex the 0.87 acre property into the City of Meridian. The City of Meridian
Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use Map designates the property as Medium Density
Residential with a density of 3-8 units/acre. The proposed plan would be 4 units per acre.
We propose rezoning from R1 to R8. The purpose of the rezone would be to allow 4 building
lots: two lots 8775 square feet, and two lots at 10,124 square feet which meets the minimum lot
size requirement of 4000 square feet.
Subdivision access will be from Locust Grove Road. ACHD will allow access in the center of the
property due to the fact that there are no access points across Locust Grove that need to be
matched. The four lots will take access from the new private proposed road. There will be no
allowed parking on the private road to allow fire access. The private road is 135 feet long and will
not require turn around as per City of Meridian Fire regulations.
The 25 foot required easement on frontage of Locust Grove Road will
act as the landscaping buffer and will be populated with plants as
outlined in the landscaping plans.
The four homes will be single-family homes consisting of 1-2 story homes less then 35 feet in
height. The homes will range in size from 1500 square feet to 3000 square feet.
Thank you for considering our applications. If you have any questions, please contact us.
Sincerely,
Jeremy Rausch
