3. Percentage of site as open space (PP application): 12% (11.4 acres)
4. Other landscaping standards: The applicant has shown trees within roadside
swales for some of the internal streets. It is City Staff's understanding that ACHD will
not allow trees within roadside swales. Therefore, the submitted landscape plan shows
several more trees than can be installed. Ten copies of a revised landscape plan should
be submitted to the Planning Department at least 10 days prior to the City Council
hearing (please see Analysis below.)
h. Amenities: The applicant is proposing amenities in open space, a multi-use pathway, micro-
paths, and a community park area that includes a pool and changing rooms, a tot-lot, and two
half basketball courts.
1. Off-Street Parking: UDC Table 11-3C-2 requires a two car garage and a 20' by 20' parking
pad for all single-family dwelling units. UDC 11-3C-6B requires 1 parking space for 500
square feet of gross floor area in the L-O zone.
J. Summary of Proposed Streets and/or Access: Access to this site is proposed from three public
streets from Black Cat (1) and Franklin Road (2). A residential collector roadway, Kennicott
Avenue, is proposed at the east boundary ofthe property. Kennicott Avenue aligns with the
public street approved in Silver Oaks Subdivision (aka Umbria Subdivision) to the north. The
applicant is proposing to construct their portion of Kennicott Avenue, with the adjacent
property owner constructing the remaining portion when that property develops. Fritts Avenue
is also proposed to intersect Franklin Road and provide access to this property. Capital Reef
Drive is the proposed public street intersection with Black Cat Road. There are several
different street sections proposed within this development. Some of the streets have attached
sidewalks, some have detached sidewalks. Stub streets are proposed at multiple locations to
the properties to the east, south, and west. For a detailed report on the public streets and access
points to public streets, please see the staff report from the Ada County Highway District and
their comments in Exhibit B. NOTE: As ofthe print deadline comments from ACHD are only
draft. Once final comments and conditions are provided they will be placed in Exhibit B.
7. AGENCY COMMENTS MEETING On May 26, 2006, a joint agency and departments
meeting was held with service providers in this area. The agencies and departments present
include: Meridian Fire Department, Meridian Parks Department, Meridian Public Works
Department, Meridian Police Department, and the Sanitary Services Company. Staff has
included comments, conditions and recommended actions in Exhibit B below.
8. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS
The subject site is designated 'Medium Density Residential' and 'Mixed Use - Regional' on the
Meridian Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map. Approximately half of the subject site is
designated for each land use. In Chapter VII ofthe Comprehensive Plan, medium density is
defmed as areas including single-family homes at densities of three to eight dwelling units per
acre. The proposed density (4.32 d.u.lacre) is within minimum target density of 3 to 8 d.u.lacre
for Medium Density Residential; staff fmds that the plat that is within the area designated for
medium density residential conforms to the Comprehensive Plan stated purpose and intent for this
designation.
In Chapter VII of the Comprehensive Plan, the Mixed Use - Regional (MU-R) designation is
defined, in part, as an area that is situated in highly visible or transitioning parts of the City where
Baraya Subdivision
AZ-06-025/PP -06-024
PAGE 4
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF JUNE 15,2006
innovative and flexible design opportunities are encouraged. The MU.R has no upper limit on the
square footage of non-residential uses and is intended to allow a broad range of uses. Higher
density subdivisions north and east ofTen Mile Road have provided smaller lots in the "High and
Medium Density Residential" areas which have been at or above eight dwelling units to the acre.
Other subdivisions along Ten Mile Road and Black Cat Road in this area have been closer to the
4 to 5 d.u.lacre with zoning designations ofR-15, R-8, and R-4. The proposed subdivision
proposes residential lots that range in size from 5,000 square feet to over 10,000 square feet. The
applicant is also proposing a I-acre office lot on this site. AlthoUl!h residential uses are allowed in
Mixed Use areas. staff does not believe that the portion of non-residential uses being proposed
meets the intent of Mixed Use - Ree:ional as defined in the Comprehensive Plan. Staff is
especiallv concerned about the density of the development. east ofthe Purdam Drain. Until the
Ten Mile Specific Area Plan is complete. staff recommends that no new development be allowed
east of the Purdam Drain. Staff recommends that the Commission and Council determine whether
havine all sinele- familv detached homes and a I-acre L-O lot provides the appropriate mix of
uses on this site called for in the Mixed Use - Reeional designation. NOTE: The Future Land
Use Map includes a site in the vicinity of the project for a public park and a school. Neither the
Parks Department nor the Meridian School District have indicated a need for property on this site.
Staff finds the following 2002 Comprehensive Plan text policies to be applicable to this application (staff
analysis is in italics below policy):
. Require that development projects have planned for the provision of all public sefV1ces
(Chapter VII, Goal ill, Objective A, Action 1)
When the City established its Area of City Impact, it planned to provide City services to the
subject properties. The City of Meridian plans to provide municipal services to the lands
proposed to be annexed in the following manner:
. Sanitary sewer and water service will be extended to the project at the
developer's expense.
. The subject lands currently lie within the jurisdiction of the Meridian Rural Fire
District. 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 western roadway adjacent to the subject lands are currently owned and
maintained by the Ada County Highway District (ACHD). This service will not
change.
. The subject lands are currently serviced by the Meridian School District #2. This
service will not change.
. The subject lands are currently serviced by the Meridian Library District. This
service will not change and the Meridian Library District should suffer no
revenue loss as a result of the subject annexation.
Municipal. fee-supported, services will be provided by the Meridian Building Department,
the Meridian Public Works Department, the Meridian Water Department, the Meridian
Wastewater Department, the Meridian Planning and Zoning Department, Meridian Utility
Billing Services, and Sanitary Services Company.

. "Restrict curb cuts and access points on collectors and arterial streets." (Chapter VII, Goal
IV, Objective D, Action item 2)
In accordance with this Goal and Action Item, the applicant has designed the plat so that
only three access points, all public streets, intersect the adjacent arterial streets.
. "Plan for a variety of commercial and retail opportunities within the hnpact Area." (Chapter
VII, Goal I, Objective B)
Staff finds that the site is designated for MU-R and Medium Density Residential on the
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map. The scale of commercial being proposed on this
site is not consistent with the MU-R land use designation on the Future Land Use Map. Staff
believes that Baraya Subdivision meets the general policies for the comprehensive plan
designation, west of the Purdam Drain, and mav meet the policies of the comprehensive plan
east of the Purdam Drain, once the Ten Mile Area Specific Plan is completed and it is
determined how much residential is needed in this area. Staff recommends that the
Commission and Council determine whether having all single-family detached homes and a
i-acre L-O lot provides the appropriate mix of uses on this site called for in the Mixed Use -
Regional designation.
. "Encourage appropriate land uses along transportation corridors." (Chapter VII, Goal IV,
Objective D)
Because there will be a new interchange at Ten Mile Road, and a potential transit station is
anticipated at the intersection ofTen Mile Road and the railroad tracks, staff believes that
additional density and/or higher intense uses are appropriate for this site, east of the Purdam
Drain.
. "Require appropriate landscape and buffers along transportation corridors (setback,
vegetation, low walls, berms, etc.)." (Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective D, Action item 4)
As depicted on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map, the applicant is proposing to
construct a 25-foot wide landscape buffer with a perimeter fence along Franklin Road and
Black Cat Road. The applicant is also proposing to construct a 20-foot wide landscape buffer
along Kennicott Avenue, a proposed residential collector road. Staffis supportive of these
widths, as long as the entire buffer lies outside the ultimate right-of-way and they are
constructed in accordance with the UDC.
. "Consider "Accommodating Bicycle and Pedestrian Travel: A Recommended Approach"
from the National Center for Bicycling and walking in all land use decisions." (Chapter VI,
Goal II, Objective A, Action item 3)
This publication encourages jurisdictions to establish bikeway and walkway facilities in new
construction and reconstruction projects, in a manner that is safe, accessible and convenient.
Combined with the sidewalks, the additional rights of way for Franklin Road and Black Cat
Road should be large enough to accommodate future pedestrian and bicycle movements
along the arterial roads. Further, the proposed sidewalk, micro path, and multi-use pathways
encourage both bicycle and pedestrian travel to and through this development.
. "Protect existing residential properties from incompatible land use development on adjacent
parcels." (Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective C, Action item 1)
Baraya Subdivision
AZ-06-025/PP-Q6-Q24
PAGE 6
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF JUNE 15,2006
The properties adjacent to the subject site are designated for a wide variety of uses. North of
the site is planned for High Density Residential and Industrial uses, east and south of the site
are continuations of the Mixed Use Regional designation, west and south of the site are
continuations of the Medium Density Residential uses on the Comprehensive Plan Future
Land Use Map. Staff believes that this project does not propose land uses that are
incompatible with the existing uses in the area. However, if approved as submitted, staff
believes that it may be difficult jor the properties to the south and east to develop efficiently,
as more intense uses are anticipated directly to the east and south.
. "Support a variety of residential categories (low-, 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 opportl.U1ities." (Chapter VII, Goal IV,
Objective C, Action item 10)
Staff finds that the subject proposal does not proposed a variety of residential uses. This
proposal contributes to the existing single-family detached housing stock of the City.
. "On-street bikeways should be incorporated on all future Collector streets." (Chapter VI,
Figure VI.5)
Figure VI-5 on page 57 of the Comprehensive Plan designates a bikeway on all collector
roads and arterials. The applicant should be required to provide an on-site bikeway along
Kennicott Avenue.
After detailed evaluation of the purpose statement, policies. desif!fl standards. and obiectives for
mixed use areas. staff does not believe that the eastern half of the subiect plat comDlies with the
Comprehensive Plan.Stafffinds that the DroDosed zoninf! and subsequent uses west of the Purdam
Drain. will be flenerallv harmonious with and in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. Staff
recommends that the Commission and Council determine whether the proposed develoDment
comvlies with the Comvrehensive Plan.
9. ZONING ORDINANCE
a. Zoning Schedule of Use Control: UDC Table 11-2A-2 lists Single Family Residential
(attached and detached) as permitted uses in the R-8 zoning district. UDC Table ll-2B-2lists
several uses as permitted and conditional uses in the L-O zoning district.
b. Purpose Statement of Zone: MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT (R-8) The
purpose of the residential districts is to provide for a range of housing opportunities consistent
with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan. Connection to the City of Meridian water and sewer
systems is a requirement for all residential districts. Residential districts are distinguished by
the allowable density of dwelling units per acre and corresponding housing types that can be
accommodated within the density range. Residential land uses are also allowed within the O.
T, TN-C, and TN-R districts as set forth in Chapter 3 Article D.
LIMITED OFFICE DISTRICT (L-O) The purpose ofthe Commercial Districts is to provide
for the retail and service needs of the community in accord with the Meridian Comprehensive
Plan. Four Districts are designated which differ in the size and scale of commercial structures
accommodated in the district, the scale and mix of allowed commercial uses, and the location
of the district in proximity to streets and highways.
10. ANALYSIS
Baraya Subdivision
AZ-06-025/PP-06-024
PAGE 7
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF JUNE 15,2006
lOa. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation
ANNEXATION & ZONING ANALYSIS: Staff believes that approximatelv half of the
proposed development (the portion desilWated for medium densitv) complies with the policies
and goals contained within the Comprehensive Plan. However. staff believes that more intense
uses may be more appropriate east of the Purdam Drain. Once the Ten Mile Interchamre is
constructed. staff anticipates that a wide range of commercial. office. and even industrial uses
mav want to operate adjacent to the subiect site. The Citv is currently working. through a
consultant. to identify a specific area plan for the area around the Ten Mile Interchange. This
studv should be completed within 18 months. Until that studv is complete. however. staff does
not believe that it is in the City's best interest to allow single-familv developments in the area
designated for Mixed Use ~ Rel!ional on the Comprehensive Plan. Staff is requesting that the
applicant activelv participate in the adoption of a plan for the area around the interchan~e. In the
mean time. staff recommends that the Citv annex and zone the subject propertv as proposed.
However. a development agreement should be put in place for this development restrictinl!
development to the west side of the Purdam Drain. until the Ten Mile Specific Area Plan can be
adopted. After the Plan is adopted. if what the applicant is proposing for Barava Subdivision. east
of the Purdam Drain is consistent with the adopted Plan then thev can proceed. If Barava
Subdivision is not consistent with the adopted Plan. then the applicant should be required to
submit new applications for rezoninl! and subdividing the propertv. If the Citv does not adopt a
Plan within 18 months of Council approval of this project. then the applicant should also be
allowed to construct Barava Subdivision as proposed. Please see Exhibit D for detailed analysis
offacts and [mdings.
The annexation legal description submitted with the application (stamped on April 7, 2006 by D.
Terry Peugh, PLS) shows the property as contiguous to the existing corporate boundary of the
City of Meridian.
UDC 11-5B-3D2 provides the P&Z Commission and City Council the authority to require a
property owner to enter into a Development Agreement with the City of Meridian that may
require some written commitment for all future uses. Due to the size ofthe project. and the
uncertaintv of what uses mav or mav not be appropriate in this area. staff believes that a
Development AlITeement is necessary to ensure that this propertv is developed in a fashion that is
consistent with the comprehensive plan desimation and does not negativelv impact nearbv
properties. If the Commission or Council feels additional development agreement requirements
are necessary, staff recommends a clear outline of the commitments ofthe developer being
required.
A Development Agreement (DA) will be required as part of an annexation of this property. Prior
to the annexation ordinance approval, a DA shall be entered into between the City of Meridian,
the property owner(s) (at the time of annexation ordinance adoption), and the developer. The
applicant shall contact the Citv Attornev. Bill Nary. at 888-4433 within 18 months of Council
approval to initiate this process. The DA shall incorporate the following (also see Exhibit B):
Sewer and Water: 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.
Baraya Subdivision
AZ-06-025/PP-06-024
PAGE 8
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE Of JUNE 15,2006
Future Develooment: 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.
Access to Arterials: Except for the public street accesses approved by ACHD, all other
vehicular access to Franklin Road and Black Cat Road should be prohibited for this site.
Office Lot: Staff believes that the proposed L-O zoning for the 1 ~acre lot is consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan. However, no details of how this lot wilVmay develop have been
submitted. Staff has concerns over the lack of a concept for this office area and is
recommending that future building(s) on this lot be subject to the Design Review standards of
the UDC (see UDC 11-3Aw19). Further, staff recommends that access to this lot be provided
from Kennicott Avenue and not Franklin Road.
Multi-use Pathway: On the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map, a multi-use pathway
is depicted on this property. The applicant is proposing to construct the multi-use pathway on
the south and west sides of the Purdam Drain. Staff is generally supportive of the location of
the pathway, with two changes. First, the pathway should be stubbed to both the south
property and the west property, so those property owners can extend the pathway in the
future. Second, a crosswalk area should be provided where the multi-use pathway crosses
Fritts Avenue and continues to the property to the west.
PRELIMINARY PLAT ANALYSIS
The proposed preliminary plat substantially complies with the Unified Development Code. Below
are specific considerations and changes that should be made to the submitted preliminary plat.
Ditches. Laterals. and Canals: The Marvin Lateral and the Purdam Drain, along with other
smaller facilities traverse through this site. The City has historically not required the Purdam
Drain to be piped (it is a natural watelWay.) Per MCC 12-4-13, all irrigation ditches, laterals
or canals, exclusive of natural watelWays, intersecting, crossing or lying adjacent and
contiguous to the area being subdivided should be tiled. Staff recommends that exclusive of
the Purdam Drain, all irrigation ditches, laterals and canals that intersect, cross or lie adjacent
to this site be tiled (UDC 11-3Aw6A).
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 cOlUlection to the culinary water system shall be required. If a
single-point connection is used, 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 be installed to all landscape areas per
the approved specifications and in accordance with UDC 11-3B.6, MCC 12-13.8 and MCC
9-1-28.
Fencinl!: The applicant is proposing to construct a 6-foot tall vinyl fence along the back side
of the exterior building lots in the development. The applicant is proposing to construct
wrought iron fencing along the micro-paths and internal open space. The applicant is
proposing to construct chain-link and/or wrought iron fencing along the Purdam Drain. UDC
11-3A-7A7 requires the developer to construct fencing adjacent to micro-paths to distinguish
common from private areas. All fencing adjacent to micro-paths and internal common lots
Baraya Subdivision
AZ-06-025/PP -06-024
PAGE 9
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF JUNE 15,2006
should be restricted to either a 4-foot tall solid fence or a 6-foot tall open-vision fence.
Further, an open-vision fence should be installed along the Purdam Drain, as proposed. A
detailed fencing plan should be submitted upon application of the final plat. If permanent
fencing is not provided prior to issuance of building permits, temporary construction fencing
to contain debris must be installed around the perimeter. Perimeter, common open space, and
micro-path /multi-use fencing shall be designed according to UDC ll-3A-7.
Multi-use Pathway: The applicant is proposing to construct the multi-use pathway that is
depicted on the Future Land Use Map along the south and west sides of the Purdam Drain.
The applicant is proposing to construct the pathway lO-feet wide. Staff is generally
supportive ofthe proposal to construct the multi-use pathway as depicted. However, as shown
on the landscape plan, the pathway does not connect (stub) to the property to the south or
west. Staff recommends that the multi -use pathway be constructed from the southern property
line all the way to the western property line, including a pedestrian crossing of Fritts Avenue.
City Code 11-3B-12 requires a 5-foot wide landscape buffer along pathways. The submitted
landscape plan depicts only a couple of feet of sod and no trees directly adjacent to the
pathway. Staff recommends that the applicant be required to construct a 5-foot wide
landscape buffer (including trees) along the south and west side of the multi-use pathway.
Micropaths: The applicant is proposing to construct some micropaths with this plat. Staff is
supportive of the pedestrian connections between the different subdivision blocks and to/from
the sidewalks and multi-use pathway. All micropaths shall be constructed at least 5 feet wide,
with 5 feet of landscaping on each side of the path (UDC ll-3B-12).
Detached Sidewalks: The applicant is proposing to construct 4-foot wide detached sidewalks
on some ofthe internal streets. The sidewalks are detached from the curb with an 8-foot wide
grassy swale. The submitted landscape plan depicts trees within the grassy swale area.
However, it is staffs understanding that ACHD will not allow trees within these swales.
Because the grassy swales cannot contain trees. this area does not count towards the open
space requirement (please see Open Space/Amenities below for more information).
Tree Mitigation: Any tree over 4" in caliper that is removed from the property shall be
replaced by installing additional trees, being the equivalent number of caliper inches of trees
that were removed. Required landscaping trees will not be considered as replacement trees
for those trees that are removed. The applicant should coordinate a tree protection/mitigation
plan with Elroy Huff at the Meridian Parks Department.
Open Space/Amenities: UDC 11-3G-3Al requires at least 5% of the total land area of a
single-family development to be set aside for common open space. Further, UDC ll-3G-3A2
requires one additional site amenity for each additional twenty aces of land area. The
applicant states that 11.43 acres is being set aside for common area and 11.87 acres are being
set aside for useable open space. The applicant states that the open space, pathways, a pool
with a changing area, two half basketball courts and a tot lot are the amenities for the
development. Staff is generally supportive of the amenities proposed.
All areas approved as open space shall be free of wet ponds or other such nuisances. All
stormwater detention facilities incorporated into the approved open space are subject to UDC
11-3A-18 and shall be fully vegetated with grass and trees. Sand, gravel or other non-
vegetated surface materials shall not be used in open space lots, except as permitted under
UDC 11-3B. Staff recommends that the applicant clarify. at the public hearing. how much of

CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFf REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF JUNE 15,2006
the site is being set aside for common useable open space (see UDC 11-30 for a list of areas
that may be included in this calculation).
Staff has concerns about the pedestrian access to the park, Lot 1, Block 18. Specifically,
pedestrians trying to get to the park from the north will have to cross Snow Canyon Drive. To
facilitate pedestrian movement to/from the park area, staff recommends that the applicant be
required to construct crosswalks and signage, as allowed by ACHD, at the intersection of
Echo Canyon Way and Snow Canyon Drive.
Common Areas: Maintenance of all common areas shall be the responsibility of the Baraya
Home Owners' Association.
Unimproved Right-of-Wav: UDC 11-3B-7C5 requires a 10-foot wide gravel shoulder
abutting right-of-way where the unimproved portion of the right-of-way is greater than 13
feet (measured from the edge of pavement to the edge of sidewalk or property line), and road
widening is not in the ACHD Five Year Work Program. The remainder of the unimproved
right-of-way should be landscaped with lawn or other vegetative groundcover. Franklin and
Black Cat Roads abutting this site meet the warrants for the 10-foot wide gravel shoulder
requirement listed above. Therefore, the applicant should be required to construct a 10-foot
wide gravel shoulder on Black Cat and Franklin Roads, with the remaining portion of the
right-of-way being landscaped with lawn or other vegetative groundcover.
LandscaoilllZ: The landscape plan prepared by Jensen Belts, on April 2006, is approved with
the following modifications/notes:
. Construct a minimum 25-foot wide street buffer along the entire length of
Black Cat Road and Franklin Road, exclusive of ACHD right-of-way. Said
buffer should be constructed in accordance with UDC 11-3B-7. Except for
adjacent to the office lot, all street buffers shall be contained within common
lots.
. In accordance with the submittal, set aside at least 12% of the site for useable
open space. Parkway areas without trees shall not count towards the open
space requirement. All stormwater detention facilities incorporated into the
approved open space are subject to UDC ll-3A-18 and shall be fully
vegetated with grass and trees.
. As required amenities, provide a pool and changing area, two half basketball
courts, and at tot lot on Lot 1, Block 18.
. Remove the trees that are shown within the grassy swales adjacent to the
streets with detached sidewalks, as required by ACHD.
. Depict and construct the multi-use pathway along the Purdam Drain from the
south property line, across Fritts Avenue, to the western property line.
. Per UDC ll-3G-3El, at least one deciduous shade tree per every 8,000 square
feet of common open space should be planted, and common areas should be
improved with lawn, either seed or sod.
. Per UDC 11-3B-IO, the applicant should work with the City Arborist, Elroy
Huff, on designing, adopting, and implementing a protection and mitigation
plan for the existing trees on site.
. Maintain at least a 5-foot wide landscape strip on both sides of all micropaths,
and on one side ofthe required multi-use pathway, and construct trees at a rate
of 1 tree per ever 35 linear feet.

CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF JUNE 15,2006
· A written certificate of completion should be prepared by the landscape
architect, designer, or qualified nurseryman responsible for the landscape
plan. All standards of installation should apply as listed in UDC 11-3B-14.
Submit copies of a revised landscape plan, reflecting the changes/notes
mentioned above, with the final plat application(s).
Existing Residences/Buildinl!s: The site currently contains multiple buildings. Because the
existing structures span across proposed lot lines, all buildings shall be removed or relocated,
prior to signature of the final plat by the City Engineer.
Access: Access to this site is currently provided from Franklin Road and Black Cat Road.
Except for the proposed and approved public streets, direct lot access to Black Cat Road and
Franklin Road should be prohibited; place a note on the [mal plat.
Kennicott Avenue: In accordance with the Comprehensive Plan, which calls for a 12 mile
collector in this area, the applicant is proposing to construct Kennicott Avenue. This public,
residential collector is located closer to the ~ mile than the 12 mile, but staff believes that it
will still function as envisioned with the Comprehensive Plan - allowing traffic to get
between the sections without using the arterials. The applicant is proposing to construct a full
street section (curb, gutter and sidewalk on both sides) near Franklin Road, then just two
drive lanes and the curb, gutter, sidewalk and landscaping on their (west) side continuing to
the southern property line. This will allow the property owners to the east and south access to
the collector. The adjacent parcels are fairly large and this should allow a good distribution of
traffic in this area. There is no front-on housing along Kennicott Avenue. Staff is supportive
of the design and location of Kennicott Avenue and the landscaping adjacent to it.
Stub Streets: The applicant is proposing to provide several stub streets to the undeveloped
parcels in this area. However, there is an out parcel along Black Cat Road that the applicant is
not proposing to provide access to. This outparcel was split off from the property being
developed in 1984. Ada County does recognize this I-acre as a buildable lot. However, if
access to Parcel S1215223300 is not provided from this site, then staff believes that the
existing vehicular access to Black Cat Road will be perpetuated. To limit access points to
Black Cat Road in the future, and to provide neighborhood connectivity, staff is
recommending that a portion, at least 35 feet of right-of-way, of Metate Arch Drive or Red
Canyon Avenue be constructed up to I-acre outparcel. Staff believes that the applicant should
provide at least 35-feet of public street frontage for Parcel No. S12l5223300. (This
requirement will allow for the future construction of a common driveway for up to four
dwelling units on the I-acre parcel). This requirement will allow the I-acre parcel to
redevelop without constructing an access to Black Cat Road. NOTE: Providing access to this
parcel may cause the applicant to lose a lot.
lOb. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the subiect applications AZ-06-025 and
PP-06-024. with the conditions listed in Exhibit B of the Staff Reoort for the hearing date of June 15.

Staff Report.
3. The map amendment shall not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety,

Staff finds that public services are available to accommodate the proposed development.
(See Exhibit B of the Staff Report for more details from public service providers.)
3. The plat is in conformance with scheduled public improvements in accord with the
City's capital improvement program;
Because the developer is installing sewer, water, and utilities for the development at their
cost, staff fmds that the subdivision will not require the expenditure of capital

4. There is public financial capability of supporting services for the proposed
development;
Staff recommends the Commission and Council rely upon comments from the public
service providers (i.e., police, fire, ACHD, etc.) to determine this fmding. (See finding

Council should 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.
6. The development preserves significant natural, scenic or historic features.
The Purdam Drain bisects this property. Staff finds that the Purdam Drain is a waterway
that should be preserved through the development of this site. Staff is unaware of any
other natural, scenic or historic features on this site. Therefore, if the Purdam Drain is
preserved, 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. The
Commission and Council should reference any public testimony that may be presented to
determine whether or not the proposed development may destroy or damage a natural or
scenic feature( s) of maj or importance of which staff is unaware.

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 oyer capacity.
Approval of the Baraya Subdivision will haye an impact on school enrollments at
Peregrine Elementary. Meridian Middle and Mountain View High School.
We can predict that these homes, when completed, will house one hundred twenty-four
(124) elementary aged children, one hundred twelye (112) middle school aged children,
and eighty-six (86) 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 deyelopment will continue to have an impact
on the district's capacity. If you have any questions, please contact me at 855-4500.

RE: Land Use Change Application - Barava Subdivision
Please note the District now reauires three (3) sets of plans
Dear Mr. Brown:
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
personal check, it must clear the bank before processing the application.
Should this development be planning a pressure urban irrigation system that will be owned,
operated and maintained by the Irrigation District, I strongly urge you to coordinate with John P.
Anderson, Water Superintendent for the Irrigation District, concerning the installation of the
pressure system. Enclosed is a questionnaire that you must fill out and return in order to initiate
the process of contractual agreements between the owner or developer and the Irrigation
District for the ownership, operation and maintenance of the pressure urban irrigation system.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please feel free to call on me at the District's
office, or John P. Anderson, at the District's shop.

RE: Baraya Subdivision
Conditions of Approval
Dear Anna:
We are in receipt of the conditions of approval for the Baraya Subdivision being heard by
Meridian Planning Commission on June 15, 2006. We are aware staff is concerned that
the east half of our site mayor may not be appropriate based on an impending planning
study of the area which could take :;everal months. We believe medium-density
residential for 40 acres meets the intent of the 800+ acres currently designated "mixed-
use regional" on the Comprehensive Plan on the 40 acres and also south and east of our
site. In addition, our proposed collector roadway on our east boundary provides a strong
buffer/transition for potentially more intense uses along Ten Mile Road to the east and
good access for the mixed-use to the south. However, we are agreeable to a stafl:'
condition that allows our existing preliminary plat to move forward with a
recommendation for approval subject to the condition that we submit a new preliminary
plat to provide approximately 44 townhome lots to replace the 22 R-8 lots as shown
along our eastern bOWldary. All other features including the L-O office lot and collector
roadway location will remain as submitted in this area
We look forward to seeing you on Thursday night at the hearing. Please contact me if
you require additional infonnation in the meantime.
