SUBJECT:
Kingsbridge Subdivision No. I
Request for a Final Plat Approval of Kingsbridge Subdivision No. 1 Consisting
of 53 Single-family Residential Building Lots and 20 Common Lots on 18.25
Acres in an R-3 Zone by Vision First, LLC (File# FP-05-056)
We have reviewed this submittal and offer the following comments, as conditions of the applicant. These
conditions shall be considered in full, unless expressly modified or deleted by motion of the Meridian
City Council:
APPLICATION SUMMARY & LOCATION
The applicant, Vision First, LLC, has applied for final plat approval of the first phase of Kingsbridge
Subdivision. This phase includes 53 single-family residential building lots and 20 common lots on 18.25
acres in an R-3 zone. The gross density of this phase is 2.9 dwelling units per acre and the net density is
4.73 dwelling units per acre.
This phase is located on the east side of S. Eagle Road, approximately yS mile south of E. Victory Road,
in the W yS of Section 28, T.3N., R.IE.
Kingsbridge Subdivision is designated as being in the R-3 zoning district; however, as part of the Unified
Development Code amendments, the City has (or will) rezone all existing R-3 districts as R-2
A Conditional Use Permit/Planned Development was approved for this subdivision that included a
reduction to the minimum street frontage requirement in an R-3 zone to 60-ft. for non cul-de-sacs lots and
30-ft. for cul-de-sac lots; a reduction in the minimum lot size to 12,000 s.f.; and the maximum block
length allowed to extend to 1,325 feet. Amenities provided in this phase as part of the planned
development are a community park, swimming pool with changing rooms, a barbeque area, picnic table,
and a tot lot.
The common area lots within the subdivision consist of landscaping, open space, storm drainage, and a
park, and will be maintained by the Kingsbridge Subdivision Homeowners Association. The pressurized
irrigation system within this development is to be owned and maintained by the Homeowners
Association,
The final plat for this phase substantially complies with the approved Preliminary Plat, although please
note that staff has noted an issue below for your special consideration.
Staff recommends approval of Kingsbridge Subdivision No, 1 with the comments and conditions stated in
this report.

CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING AND PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENTS STAFF REPORT
CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL CONSIDERATION
A pond was added to Lot 8, Block 1, adjacent to S, Eagle Road which affected the lot size and
configuration of Lot 2, Block 1. This is a change from what was approved on the preliminary plat and
required in the Development Agreement. Item number 8, page 5 of the Development Agreement reads as
follows:
"To ensure that significant density changes are not made to Kingsbridge Subdivision between
preliminary and final plat approvals, no changes will be made to the plat dated AprilS, 2005,
except changes required by governmental agencies which do not increase density or daily vehicle
trips to and from Kingsbridge. All perimeter lots in Kingsbridge Subdivision shall remain as
single home residential lots that cannot be further subdivided or split as part of the Kingsbridge
Subdivision. Except for minor lot size adjustments between adjacent perimeter lots, no pcrimeter
lot in Kingsbridgc Subdivision shall be reduced in size below the squarc footage shown on
the preliminary plat dated April 5, 2005. These agreements shall be included as notes on the
face of the Kingsbridge Subdivision plat and shall be stated in the recorded Kingsbridge
Declaration of CC&R's. A copy of the preliminary plat will be included as a condition of
approval in the Development Agreement executed by Vision First and The City of Meridian,"
The original size of Lot 2, Block 1 was 20,031 sJ,; the final plat shows 16,421 s,f., for a difference of
3,6 I 0 s.f. from the approved preliminary plat. This change will not affect density or daily vehicle trips as
noted in the Development Agreement. However, the reduction in the lot size is more than a minor
adjustment from the approved preliminary plat, and the subject lot is a perimeter lot abutting Dartmoor
Subdivision. Staff believes the proposed configuration does meet the intent of the condition
Staff has asked the applicant to obtain a letter from the Dartmoor Homeowners Association agreeing to
this change. Council should make a determination as to whether or not this is a significant change to the
approved preliminary plat and/or the Development Agreement.
The applicant states that the proposed irrigation pond is similar to the one in Dartmoor Subdivision. The
intent is to provide storage for the diverted water rights from Ten Mile Feeder Canal. The pond water
will be pressurized for urban irrigation use. The pond also receives irrigation water from the improved
Nine Mile Creek. The pond surface water elevation is designed to be drawn down based upon demand
through an in-take pumping system. Excessive irrigation supply to the pond is hydrostatically controlled
by an overflow structure. Aesthetic elements have also been incorporated to bring out the pond
characters, including a grand monument sign with water feature cascading down the pond.
SITE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS
1. Applicant is to meet all terms of the approved Annexation (AZ-05-003), Preliminary Plat (PP-05-
004), Conditional Use Permit (CUP-05~004) and Development Agreement (Inst. No, 105092050).
2. Revise the following notes on the face of the plat dated 8/21/05, prepared by Fox Land Surveys,

Subject: Kingsbric\ge Final Plat
Sonya,
I have read over the staff report for the final plat for Kingsbridge Subdivision. At this point, I do not see
any major problems with any of the listed comments. I do have a couple points of clarification.
The first comment I have is on the notes on the plat. Our only stipulation that we have to any of these is
that they also have to go through the Ada County Surveyor office. They sometimes reject some of the
notes that can be required from other agencies. We do agree to the notes that you require but they are
subject to the County Surveyor's review.
In regards to the pond located adjacent to Lot 2, Block 1, there is no other reasonable place to put this
pond as this became necessary once we got deeper into the irrigation design for this subdivision. We
agree with staff comments on this but J just wanted to emphasize that we could not do much of anything
else and did not want to reduce the size of Lot 2, Block 1 but it became the best option available given the
irrigation parameters we had to work with. We did not reduce this lot to make other lots larger and so as
you stated the proposed configuration should meet the intent of the condition.
Site specific Comment #7 talks about a utilities easement on Lot 1, Block 8. We will do what we need to
to keep the tree(s) in this lot and will either move the utilities or dedicate what is required for an easement
so as to allow for the landscaping.
Site Specific Comment # 22c,d: There is not room to widen the gravel shoulder to 10' WIde. Our design
is per the Ada County Highway DistrIct Standards and will meet all of their requirements.
Comment #24 talks about a grading plan for the five lots on the northwest corner of the site. We do have
a grading plan submitted with the construction documents that does address those fats. Please refer to
this for grading in that area.
We agree with what you have stated in regards to the irrigation laterals in site comment #27. We plan to
tile the other irrigation ditches that are located on this property (most of which will be in the late r phases).
As you stated, the Corps of Engineers will not give us approval for the realjgnment of Nine Mile Drain if
we tile it. The only way to be able to realign this ditch is to keep it open per the USACE regulations. The
Ten Mile Feeder is a large ditch and the Boise Project Board of control as wef! as the Nampa Meridian
Irrigation District (they own the ditch directly downstream of the site) do not want this feeder canal to be
tiled. We will take aU necessaPf precautions to provide for the safet-j around the ditch which lies within a
60 foot easement.
I believe this is all that I had to comment on at this point. If I have any further questions on this, I will fet
you know. Please contact me if you have any questions on anythIng I have responded to. Thank you.

RE: Land Use Change Application - KinQsbridQe Subdivision No.1
Please note the District now requires three (3) sets of plans
Dear Mr. Kirkham:
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
