preliminary plat approval and which preliminary plat for approval application is herein received
and adjudged by the City Council pursuant to Meridian City Code 9 12-3-3. Therefore the City
Council makes tOhe following findings:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. That the proposed development is in conformance with the Amended
Comprehensive Plan by reason of the fact that it lies within the existing Urban Area as defined in
the Meridian Comprehensive Plan Generalized Land Use Map, Infrastructure Planning Analysis
Amended Comprehensive Plan Map, adopted August 6,2002, Resolution No. 02-382, and the
property is presently zoned RUT by Ada County, however, an application for annexation and
zoning to R-8 is before the Council, and requires connection to the Municipal Water and Sewer
System. [Meridian City Code 9 11-7-2 D]
2. The preliminary plat is in conformance with the Amended Comprehensive Plan City
of Meridian adopted August 6,2002, Resolution No. 02-382. It is found that the requested zoning
designation ofR-8 is harmonious with and in accordance with the effective Comprehensive Plan and
Generalized Land Use Map. The proposed single family residential project is shown as Medium
Density Residential (3 to 8 d.u./acre). The proposed density- 3.26 d.u./acre gross and 4.34 d.uJacre
net are within the range designed by the Comprehensive Plan. The Idaho Power substation site is
designated as Public/Quasi Public on the Future Lane Use Map and would be considered a "public

service facility" in the zoning schedule of use control, which is permitted with design review (PDR)
in the R-8 zone per Ordinance 11-8-1. Additional applicable policies from the Comprehensive Plan
are detailed on page two (item 7) ofthe applicants' letterregarding the annexation, and which letter
is on file in the Meridian City Clerk's office. The applicant's analysis is concurred by staff.
3. It is determined that Urban Services can be made available to accommodate the
proposed development ifthe plat complies with the requirements and conditions hereinafter set forth
as conditions of preliminary plat approval. It is found that the subject property to be annexed may be
served adequately by all essential public facilities and services. Water and sanitary sewer service are
proposed to be extended from existing main lines adjacent to the proposed development. Review of
the Parks, Police, Fire Department comments, will provide further infonnation regarding public
services.
The Public Works Department has determined that an additional water supply is needed in
this vicinity. To that end, the Public Works Department has acquired rights to drill a test well south
of Chinden Blvd. Drilling of this test well is currently scheduled to be completed by June 1 S\
however it should be pointed out that there are no guarantees that this well will prove out, or that
water rights protests won't be filed. The Public Works Department is concurrently working on an
alternative that would provide fire flow to the area via piping from a lower pressure zone. It is
confident that this issue can be resolved. However, it is recommended that City approval ofthe final
plat be withheld until such time that the supply issue is resolved.
4. The proposed development is a continuity of the proposed development within the
City's Capital Improvement Program and if the conditions, which are requested by the Planning and

services, and the construction of a new municipal well in the vicinity. It is found that there will not
be excessive additional requirements at public cost and that the annexation and zoning will not be
detrimental to the community's economic welfare.

3. The landscape plan shall be modified per the following:
e Street buffers along McMillan shall be at least 35 feet wide.
o The sidewalks throughout the project do not connect to the curb at
intersections. The sidewalks shall be modified to connect to the curb at
all street intersections, with standard handicap-accessible curb cuts per
ADA
III Retain the existing trees along McMillan and meander the sidewalk
around the existing trees to preserve them.
e The landscape plan depicts grass up to the edge of pavement along
McMillan Road. Unless curb and gutter are being constructed along
McMillan, modify the plan to show a lO-foot gravel shoulder. The
remainder shall be landscaped with grass as shown.
e A stolmwater seepage bed is proposed to be incorporated into the street
buffer, but no vegetative treatment is shown over it. The full buffer shall
be vegetated in accordance with the Landscape Ordinance.
e The three trees shown along McMillan east of Schubert are shown in the
right-of-way, not on private property. Either shift the trees onto the street
buffer lot, or verify that the location will not interfere with the ultimate
location of curb and gutter and obtain a license agreement with ACHD.
4. Sanitary sewer service to this subdivision shall be via an extension from an
existing mainline stub in the Vienna Woods Subdivision, which flows to an
existing temporary sewage lift station. The applicant will be responsible to
construct the sewer and water mains to and through this proposed development,

City approval of the final plat shall be withheld until such time that the domestic
water supply issue is resolved.
6. The applicant shall meet with the City Arborist prior to submittal ofthe final plat
application and detail all mitigation requirements on the final plat landscape plan.
7. The Applicant has indicated that the pressurized irrigation system within this
development is to be owned and operated by the Sheridan Place HOA.
Underground year-round pressurized irrigation must be provided to all lots within
this development (MCC 12-5-2.N). 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 shall 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 shall be responsible for the payment of

Block 4, into Lot 8, Block 4, thereby eliminating the need for Lot 9, Block 4. Free
access to any control headgates located in the rear yard of Lot 8 would have to be
guaranteed, and the type of pipe may need to be upgraded to provide a higher level
of protection from accidental dig-in by the lot owner. The side yard easement on
Lot 8 will need to be widened to provide space for the operation and maintenance of
this ditch facility. Staff believes that this is a better alternative than creating a
potential strip of weeds that goes nowhere.
9. A detailed fencing plan shall be submitted with the application for final plat. A 6-
foot solid fence shall be required around the perimeter ofthe subdivision unless the
City agrees in writing that such a fence is not required. Applicant shall address
intended fencing design at the public hearings.
10. The applicant should consider changing the retention pond that is shown on the
north end of Block 3 to a sub-surface drainage facility since it appears that ground
water levels won't be a problem on this site.
11. Revise note number 5 to provide 14-foot wide public utilities, drainage and
irrigation easements along the 50-foot wide street section, and the standard 10-foot
width on the 77-foot section. This extra width is necessary due to the sidewalk
encroachment into the lots by 4-feet.
