locations designated by the Public Works Department. All streetlights shall be installed at
subdivider's expense. Typical locations are at street intersections and/or fire hydrants.
4. Underground pressurized irrigation must be provided to all landscape areas on site. Due to
the landscape area, primary water supply connection to the City's mains will not be
allowed. Applicant shall be required to utilize any existing surface or well water for the
primary source. If City water is proposed as a secondary source, developer shall be
responsible to pay water assessments for the entire common open area.
5. No details of the type offencing proposed are shown on the landscape plan, which must
be approved by the Planning & Zoning Department. The fencing locations shown along

applicant's representative on the landscape plan. A letter of credit or cash surety will be
required for the improvements prior to signature on the final plat.
6. The soils investigation report submitted with the preliminary plat application indicates that
groundwater was encountered at some fairly shallow depths within the project site. From
the information contained in the report, the opinion of the reports author would project
depths to seasonal high groundwater across the site from :1:5.5 feet to :t1.0 feet below
existing ground surface. With this shallow depth, it is highly unlikely that a sub-surface
drainage system would be a feasible design alternative. The City of Meridian requires a
minimum three feet of clearance from the bottom of a seepage bed to the normal high
ground water elevation.
7. Design engineer to provide a statement of compliance, prior to the approval of
development plans, that certifies that the centerline finish grade of the streets, public or
private, is at least three feet above the established normal ground water elevation. This is
an effort to ensure that the building footings are at least one foot above the high ground
water.
8. Revise the plat to show a 40-foot roadway section throughout the project. As zero front
setback lines for carports were approved for the project, it is important that the 40-foot
roadway be shown to include the five-foot-wide sidewalks on each side of the roadway.
9. Clarify all setback requirements on the final plat, indicating minimum rear setbacks of five
feet, zero side lot lines, that zero front lot lines are permitted for carports only and that the
actual building setback is 20 feet.
10. Drainage swales will not be approved within the planting strip adjacent to Meridian Road
unless they are fully vegetated and designed to accommodate the required trees.

developer for over payment of assessments, and payment to the City of Meridian of any
shortfall in assessments. The overpayment/shortfall is determined after adequate historical
usage.

final plat.
15. Add N. and E. designations to street names.
