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.

to the south and east are compatible with the proposed development.

(1ow~, 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.
The subject application includes a request for the R-8 zone. Staff finds that the requested zoning
designation contributes to the variety of residential zoning categories in this area and is
generally consistent with the Comprehensive Plan designation for this site.

and better traffic flow (Chapter VI, Goal II, Objective A, Action 6)
Two stub streets have been provided to the undeveloped parcel to the west and connections have
been proposed to the stub streets from the south and east. (See ACHD report for details).

corresponding housing types that can be accommodated within the density range.
10. ANALYSIS
a. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation

Plan and the general compliance of the proposed development with the Zoning Ordinance, staff
believes that this is a good location for the proposed single-family development. Please see
Exhibit D for detailed analysis of facts and findings.
Southwick Subdivision AZ-06~019, PP-06-018
PAGE 5
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF APRIL 20, 2006
The annexation legal description submitted with the application (prepared on February 14, 2006
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 single-family residential
products. Please see Exhibit D for detailed analysis of facts and findings.
1. Landscaped Open Space: The applicant is proposing to set aside .58 acres (5.42% of the
property) for open space and staff is supportive of the design. This calculation does not
include the 8-foot parkways with street trees that the applicant has proposed along the
internal roadways, which are eligible to be included in the open space calculation per
UDC 11-3G-3.
2. Common Drives: Lots 5-7, 8-11, 12-15, and 16-19, Block 3 shall access from common
drives in order to meet the minimum frontage requirements of the R-8 zone. The
applicant should add to the plat, and be prepared to discuss at the public hearing, the
orientation of the homes which are located on the common drives. Staff fmds that it is
desirous for the homes to face the common drive and create a courtyard, which would
facilitate fire and police access/monitoring and present a cohesive streetscape for the
residents. The common drive shall meet the design and construction standards contained
in UDC ll-6-3D and shall have a 28'/48' turning radius as required by the Meridian Fire
Department. The common drives shall also incorporate a concrete pad adjacent to the
public street which facilitates location of trash receptacles for pick up.
3. Existing Home Access to U stick Road: The existing home shall be required to take
access from an internal roadway within the subdivision and the existing access to Ustick
Road shall be abandoned. A note shall be added to the face of the plat which prohibits
direct lot access to Ustick Road.
4. 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 prior to signature on
the final plat by the City Engineer. An underground, pressurized irrigation system should
Southwick Subdivision AZ-06-019, PP-06-018
PAGE 6
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF APRIL 20,2006
be installed to all landscape areas per the approved specifications and in accordance with
UDC 11.3A-15 andMCC 9-1-28.
5. Fencing: The applicant has submitted a detailed fencing plan (on the landscape plan
dated February 15, 2006) with the preliminary plat application for the subdivision. The
applicant has proposed a 5-foot solid fence along the north boundary of the existing home
and has not proposed perimeter fencing for the development. Any perimeter fencing
must be completed prior to issuance of building permits. 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 UDC 11-3A- 7.
6. Common Areas: Maintenance of all common areas shall be the responsibility of the
Southwick Horne Owners' Association.
7. Ditches. Laterals. and Canals: Per UDC 11-3A.6 all irrigation ditches, laterals or canals,
exclusive of natural waterways and waterways being used as amenities, that intersect,
cross or lie within the area being subdivided shall be covered.
b. Staff Recommendation: Due to the fact that the Ada Countv Highwav District has not been
able to provide staff with an analysis of the proiect. staff recommends continuance of Southwick
Subdivision until such time that ACHD approves the development proposal. Upon ACHD
approval, staff recommends approval of AZ-06-019 and PP.06-018 for Southwick Subdivision as
presented in the staff report for the hearing date of April 20, 2006 based on the Findings of Fact
as listed in Exhibit D and subj ect to the conditions of approval as listed in Exhibit B as attached

2. The map amendment complies with the regulations outlined for the proposed
district, specifically the purpose statement;
Staff finds that single-family detached residential uses are allowed within the requested
zoning district of R-8 as a Principally Pennitted 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.
3. The map amendment shall not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety,

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.
5. The annexation is in the best of interest ofthe City (UDC 11-5B-3.E).
The R-8 zoning amendment will provide lots that are similar in nature to eXlstmg
subdivisions in the near vicinity. Staff finds 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 fmdings listed above, staff fmds that Annexation and
ZonilllZ of this property to R-8 would be in the best interest of the City.

development;
Staff recommends the Commission and Council rely upon comments from the public
service providers (i.e., police, fire, ACHD, etc.) to determine this froding. (See finding

Commission and Council reference any public testimony that may be presented to
determine whether or not the proposed subdivision may cause health, safety or
environmental problems of which staff is unaware.
5. 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

Please note the District now reauires three (3) sets of plans
Dear Mr. Nickel:
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

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 of the Southwick Subdivision will have a significant impact on school
enrollments at Hunter Elementary. Sawtooth Middle and Eagle High School.
We can predict that these homes, when completed, will house eleven (11) elementary
aged children, nine (9) middle school aged children, and eight (8) 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.
