Location: south side of Franklin, west of Linder
Applications: miscellaneous application for a DA modification
Highlights of Proposed Development: The applicant is proposing to amend Site Specific Condition
#6.1.5 on the fifth page of the unsie-ned Development Agreement:
The Owner/Developer shall maintain Lot 19, Block 3 in a state free of accumulation of
junk, noxious weeds, and shall fence the perimeter of Lot 5, Block 3 to limit public access
to the waterway.
The applicant would like to construct a temporary construction fence along Lot 5 Block 3, rather
than provide a pennanent fence along Lot 5 Block 3 which would limit public access to the Ten
Mile Creek waterway amenity.
Other: The issue of fencing on this lot was not raised at the public hearings. Subsequent to approval, the
applicant discovered the condition in the Development Agreement regarding the pennanent fencing of
Lot 5 Block 3 and asked for a temporary construction fence instead. The- UDC does not require fencing
along drains if it can be demonstrated by the applicant that the drain will be improved or developed as a
water amenity (UDC-11-3A-6B-2). Further, we have a letter from Bill Henson at Nampa-Meridian
Irrigation that states they are not requiring fencing adjacent to the Ten Mile Creek.
Staff prepared their report to reflect the Master Pathway Agreement between the Nampa & Meridian
Irrigation District and the City of Meridian which conditions the City to take appropriate action to protect
the public who use the pathways and to prevent litter, trash or other material to gather or be deposited
along the pathway.
Staff Recommendation: approve modification.
Outstanding Issue(s) for City Council: None.
Notes: If Council decides to approve this request. the motion should direct the Le(:!:al Department to draft
an amendment to the Development Agreement as stated in the staff report and/or modified by Council. -
Requested Changes to the Agenda:
None.
