Re:
Sutherland Farm Subdivision No.5
Request for Final Plat Approval of 57 Single-family Residential Building Lots
and 9 Common Lots on 27.73 Acres in an R-4 Zone for Sutherland Farm
Subdivision No.5, by Great Sky, Inc. (File No. FP-05-011)
We have reviewed the above-referenced submittal and offer the following comments~ as
conditions of approval. These conditions shall be considered in full, unless expressly
modified or deleted by motion of the Meridian City Council:
APPLICATION SUMMARY & LOCATION
The applicant, Sutherland Farm, Inc., has requested approval for the fifth phase of Sutherland
Farm Subdivision. This phase consists of 57 single-family residential building lots and 9
common area lots on 27.73 acres in an RA zone. The gross density of Phase No. 5 is
approximately 2.06 dwelling units/acre, The net density is approximately 4.21 dwelling
units/acre.
Sutherland Farm Subdivision No.5 is located approximately Y2 mile east of S. Eagle Road and 1/2
mile north ofE. Victory Rd., in the SW 1A of Section 21, T.3N., R.lE.
A Conditional Use Permit was approved for this subdivision that allowed for a reduction to the
minimum requirements for lot size from 8,000 s.f. to 6,500 s.f. for detached homes. Although
reduced frontages were approved for townhomes/attached single-family dwellings, reduced
frontages were not specifically approved for the detached single-family dwelling lots. However,
the preliminary plat was approved with a few lots in this phase below the required 80-ft. frontage
and the applicant appears to have noted these lots in their public hearings. Staff did not identify
or note that the lots needed to be modified to meet the 80-foot minimum frontage. Because the
frontages shown on the final plat conform to the approved preliminary plat frontages, staff is
recommending approval of the final pLat.
