The following is the list of standards found in 11-15-11 and analysis by staff: A. Will the new zoning be harmonious with and in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan and, if not, has there been an application for a Comprehensive Plan amendment; Staff finds that the requested zoning designation, R-8, is harmonious with and in accordance with the effective Comprehensive Plan ('02) and Future Land Use Map, which designates the land to be "Medium Density Residential". B. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be rezoned in the future; Staff does not anticipate that the applicant intends to rezone the subject property in the future. C, Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be developed in the fashion that would be allowed under the new zoning -for example, a residential area turning into a commercial area by means of conditional use permits; Staff finds that the proposed single family attached and detached residential subdivision will be allowed within the requested R-8 zone. D. Has there been a change in the area or adjacent areas which may dictate that the area should be rezoned. For example, have the streets been widened, new railroad access been developed or planned or adjacent area being developed in a fashion similar to the proposed rezone area; Surrounding properties include residential subdivisions and an eXlstmg elementary school. Staff finds that the requested zoning designation of R-8 is harmonious with the existing and planned adjacent developments. E. Will the proposed uses be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and that such use will not change the essential character of the same area; AZ-02-023, PP-a2..(J23. CUP-02-031 MOII!ler Fmns SlJbdivision AZ.PP.CUP Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council October 21,2002 Page 4 Staff finds that the proposed uses (attached and detached single family residential) will not change the existing or intended character of the area which is predominantly residential. F. Will the proposed uses not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighboring uses; The Commission and Council should rely on public testimony to determine whether or not the proposed use will be disturbing or hazardous to the existing or future neighboring uses. Staff does not anticipate that the proposed residential uses will be hazardous or disturbing to future or existing neighbors. G. Will the area be served adequately by essential public facilities and services such as highways, streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water, sewer or that the person responsible for the establishment of proposed zoning amendment shall be able to provide adequately any of such services; Staff finds that the property to be annexed can be served adequately by all essential public facilities and services. Applicant shall be required to extend water and sanitary sewer mains to and through the proposed development, thereby making them available to the adjacent properties. This development will be required to install a temporary sanitary sewer lift station to provide service to the lots until permanent mains can be installed from the future Black Cat Trunk. The lift station shall remain in the ownership of the developer or homeowner's association. The developer or home owner's association may enter into a operation and maintenance agreement with the City of Meridian. Please review the Fire Department's comments concerning this subdivision. H. Will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community; Staff finds that there will not be additional requirements at public cost and that the annexation and zoning will not be detrimental to the community's economic welfare. I. Will the proposed uses not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property or the general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors; AZ-Oz..on. PP-m:-023. CUP-02..o31 MosbI::r Fanus SubctivisionAZ.PP.CUP Planning & Zoning CommissionlMayor & City Council October 21, 2002 Page 5 Staff finds that the proposed subdivision will not create excessive traffic, noise or other nuisances that would be detrimental to the general welfare of the surrounding area. J. Will the area have vehicular approaches to the property which shall be so designed as not to create an interference with traffic on surrounding public streets; Staff finds that the subdivision's vehicular approach off of Ten Mile Road will create new interference with the existing traffic on Ten Mile, however staff does not believe that the subdivision entrance will cause significant interference on the surrounding public streets (Pine Street). Please review ACHD comments concerning vehicular approaches and traffic generation. K. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic feature of major importance; and Staff finds that no natural or scenic features of major importance will be lost or damaged by approving the annexation and re-zone. Any existing trees larger than 4" caliper that are removed shall be mitigated for, per the Landscape Ordinance. L. Is the proposed zoning amendment in the best interest of the City of Meridian, (Ord, 592. 11-17-1992)? Staff finds that the annexation of this property would be in the best interest of the City. ANEXATION AND ZONING COMMENTS 1. Any existing domestic wells and/or septic systems within this project will have to be removed from their domestic service, per City Ordinance Section 5-7-517, when services are available from the City of Meridian. Wells may be used for non-domestic purposes such as landscape irrigation. Applicant shall be responsible for the actual physical connection as well as payment of applicable fees at the time of service conversion. PRELIMINARY PLAT FINDINGS AND REQUIREMENTS Sections 12-3-3 J.2 and 12-3-5 D read as follows: "In determining the acceptance of a proposed subdivision, the Commission/Council shall consider the objectives of this title and at least the following: a, The conformance of the subdivision with tbe Comprehensive Development Plan; Staff finds the subdivision to be in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan.

The availability of public services to accommodate the proposed developmeut; Staff finds that public services are available to accommodate the proposed development. c. The continuity of the proposed development with the capital improvement program; Staff finds that the subdivision will not require the expenditure of capital improvement funds. d. The public financial capability of supporting services for the proposed development; Staff finds that the development will not require major expenditures for providing supporting services. e. The other health, safety or environmental problems that may be brought to the Commission's attention. Staff finds that there should not be any other health, safety or environmental problems associated with this subdivision that may be brought to the Councilor Commission's attention. ADDITIONAL CONSIDERA nONS PedestrianlRecreation Easement: The applicant has proposed placing the pathway leading to the school from the large common lot in a "pedestrian/recreation" easement rather than placing the pathway on a common lot. Staff would prefer to see the pathway placed on a common lot between the Lots 11 and 12, Block I, rather than in an easement. Placing the pathway in a common lot will cut down on confusion related to who "owns" the property adjacent to the pathway and will give the purchasers ofthe lots backing up to the pathway a true measurement of the useable square footage of the land being purchased. This recommendation has been included in the site specific comments below as item number 2. Open Soace: The location of the open-spacelparkldrainage lot for the proposed subdivision is located in a manner that is not visible from the right-of-way. The open-space lot is truly only visible from the rear of the lots that back up to the lot. Staff would prefer to see the lot centrally located in a manner that is visible to the majority of the subdivision. It creates a safer and more open feel for the people who Jive within the subdivision. Staff recognizes that the topography of the proposed subdivision has dictated the placement of the drainage lot to be at the low point of the property, however if it is to be considered as required open space for this subdivision staff suggests that the City Council and Planning & Zoning Commission carefully consider moving the location of the open-space/drainage lot to a more centra1location if there is a motion to approve this project.

Existing Right-of-Way Ten Mile Road has 58-feet of existing right-of-way (33-feet from centerline on the west side) abutting the site. 9. Existing Access to the Site There are two access points into this site. Driveway # 1 is located approximately 295-feet south of the north property line. Driveway # 2 is located approximately 103-feet north of the south property line. There is approximately 65-feet of separation between the two driveways. (The applicant is proposing to close both of the existing driveways.) 10. Site History District staff has not reviewed this site in the past. However staff has reviewed Berkeley Square Subdivision to the north and Thunder Creek Subdivision to the east. 11. Five YearWork Program Ten Mile Road from Pine Avenue to Cherry Lane is programmed into the District's Five-Year Work Program (FY 03-07). The project includes a half-mile design for 5-lanes with curb, gutter and sidewalk with the installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of Ten Mile Road and Pine Avenue. The time frame of the project is: 2004-05 for professional services, 2006 for acquistion of right-of-way and 2007 for construction and utilities. B. Findings for Consideration 1. Right-of-Way District policy requires 96-feet of right-of-way on arterial roadways (Figure 72-F1B). This right-of-way allows for the construction of a 5-lane roadway with curb, gutter, 5-foot concrete detached sidewalks and bike lanes. The applicant is proposing to dedicate 48-feet from centerline on Ten Mile Road. 2. Roadway Offsets District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 300-feet from an arterial roadway (measured centerline to centerline). The applicant is proposing to construct the main entrance (West Ashley Avenue) located approximately 1DD-feet south of the north property line. This offset is approximately 311-feet from the centerline of West Wave Drive to the centerline of West Ashley Avenue. This location meets District policy for offset requirements and should be approved as proposed. Berkeley Square's main entrance on Ten Mile Road is 150-feet south of the north property line (approved with a modification to policy, per Commission action January 9, 2002). District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 125-feet from another local roadway (measured centerline to centerline). The applicant is proposing to locate North Brittney Court approximately 18D-feet west of Ten Mile Road (measured from centerline to centerline). This location meets District policy for offset requirements and should be approved as proposed. 3 3. Street Sections District policy 7204.4.2 states, "developments with any buildable lot that is less that 1.5-acres in size will typically provide streets having a minimum pavement width of 32-feet with curb, gutter and sidewalks. The total street width shall be 36.feet from back-of-curb to back-of-curb. Variations of this width may be allowed, depending on traffic volumes forecast to be generated by the development. Concrete sidewalks shall be a minimum of 5-feet in width unless they are separated from the curb 5- feet or more in which case the sidewalk shall be a minimum of 4-feet in width. The applicant is proposing to construct West Ashley Avenue and North Brittney Court as a 36-foot street section (measured back of curb to back of curb) with curb, gutter and 5-foot sidewalk within 50- feet of right-of-way. 4. Islands District policy District policy 7202.7 and 7207.5 and the roadway around the traffic island should maintain a minimum of a 21-foot street section. The design should be reviewed and approved by ACHD's Planning and Development staff. District policy 7202.7 and 7207.5 requires any proposed landscape islands/medians within the public right-of-way dedicated by this plat should be owned and maintained by a homeowners association. Notes of this should be required on the final plat. West Ashley Avenue should be designed with 21-foot street section on either side of the center median/island. The median should be constructed a minimum of 4-feet wide (maximum 12-feet wide) to total a minimum of 100-square foot area. The applicant should be required to dedicate 54-feet of right-of-way plus the additional width of the median. 5. Turnarounds District policy 7205.2.1 requires turnarounds to be constructed to provide a minimum tuming radius of 45-feet. The applicant should also be required to provide a minimum of a 29-foot street section on either side of any proposed center islands within the turnarounds. The medians should be constructed a minimum of 4-feet wide to total a minimum of a 100-square foot area. The applicant is proposing to construct tumarounds at the terminus of West Ashley Avenue and North Brittney Court. The tumaround should be constructed to provide a minimum tuming radius of 45-feet and provide a minimum of a 29-foot street section on either side of any proposed center islands within the tumarounds. The medians should be constructed a minimum of 4-feet wide to total a minimum of a 100-square foot area. 6. Stub Streets District policy 7203.5.1 and 7205.5 requires stub streets to provide intra-neighborhood circulation and to provide access to adjoining parcels. District policy also requires temporary turnarounds with a temporary easement provided to the District at the end of stub streets that serve more than one lot, or are greater than 150-feet in length with a sign at the terminus of the roadway stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE". The applicant is not proposing to construct a stub street to any of the adjoining parcels. The Commission action below dated January 16, 2002 should apply to this proposed application. At the Commission meeting on January 16, 2002, Berkeley Square Subdivision was removed from the consent agenda to the regular agenda to discuss the issue of stub streets. Commissioners expressed concem that the parcel and the parcel to the north and south would each require a public street connection to Ten Mile Road. Based on existing development, and the proposed public street 4 location with this application, the roadway locations would not meet District policy. One intent of the stub streets is to limit the number of access points on arterial roadways. Reasons included for not requiring the stub street to the south as outlined in the staff report for Berkeley Square: · There is a vel}' large drainage canal (approximately 8 U. t 9-feet in depth) that is not likely to be crossed in the future for access to Pine A venue, · The parcel to the south is not seNiceable (sewer and water cannot seNice the westem portion of the parcel to the south) making the development of this portion of the property non-residential (it has been discussed that this parcel become mini-storage) · If the property did become mini-storage, the applicant has expressed concerns that single-family residential is not compatible with a higher commercial use such as a mini- storage facility. Discussion focused around the need for a stub street to the south, though staff did not recommend it. The Commission voted to approve the preliminal}' plat as submitted, with one stub street to the north property line. At the time of the above Commission action the City of Meridian's Comprehensive Plan had not been adopted. Since that time the location of the parcel south of the canal has been classified as Public, Quasi Public, and Open Space. Areas are designated to preserve and protect existing private, municipal, state and federal lands for area residents and visitors. This category includes churches and public lands (excluding parks and schools). (City of Meridian's Comprehensive Plan, July 2002, chapter VII page 99.) 7. Sidewalk District policy requires 5-foot wide (minimum) concrete sidewalk on all collector roadways and arterial roadways (7204.6.5). The applicant is proposing to construct curb, gutter and sidewalk abutting the parcel on Ten Mile Road. However this location is in the District's current Five- Year Work Program (FY 03-07) therefore the applicant should be required to Road Trust the amount for the sidewalk improvements located on Ten Mile Road. District policy 7203.6 requires the applicant of a proposed development to make improvements to existing damaged sidewalk; curb and gutter construction or replacement; replacement of unused driveways with standard curb, gutter and sidewalk; installation of pedestrian ramps; pavement repairs; signs; traffic control devises; and other similar items in order to correct deficiencies or replace deteriorated facilities. 8. Public Rights-of-way Trust Fund District policy 7203.8, if the District determines that it is necessary or desirable to defer making some or all of the improvements, the Developer shall contribute the estimated value of the improvements to the Public Rights-of-way Trust Fund. 5 C. Special considerations to the City of Meridian and the applicant: 1. The site plan does not show a pedestrian pathway to the elementary school that is located to the northwest of this site. Wendell Bingham, Meridian School District representative would like to see some type of pedestrian walkway to the elementary school. 2. The site plan does not show a pedestrian pathway to Berkeley Square Subdivision to the north or the parcel that is located to the south of this site. District staff would like to see some type of pedestrian walkway to Berkeley Square Subdivision or the parcel to the south. D. Site Specific Conditions of Approval 1. Dedicate 48-feet of right-of-way from the centerline of Ten Mile Road abutting the parcel by means of a warranty deed. The right-of-way purchase and sale agreement and deed must be completed and signed by the applicant prior to scheduling the final plat for signature by the ACHD Commission or prior to issuance of a building permit (or other required permits), whichever occurs first Allow up to 30 business days to process the right-of-way dedication after receipt of all requested material. The owner will be paid the fair market value of the right-of-way dedicated which is an addition to existing ACHD right-of-way if the owner submits a letter of application to the impact fee administrator prior to breaking ground, in accordance with ACHD Ordinance #195. 2. Provide a $9,900.00 deposit to the Public Rights-of-Way Trust Fund at the District for the required street improvements of approximately 495-feet of 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk abutting the parcel, prior to District approval of the final plat or issuance of a building permit (or other required permits), whichever occurs first. 3. Construct the main entrance to the subdivision, West Ashley Avenue, on Ten Mile Road approximately 1 OO-feet south of the north property line, as proposed. This roadway location meets District policy and is approved with this application. 4. Construct West Ashley Avenue with 21-foot street sections on either side of a center median. The median shall be constructed a minimum of 4-feet wide (maximum 12-feet wide) to total a minimum of a 1 aD-square foot area. The applicant will be required to dedicate 54-feet of right-of-way plus the additional width of the median. 5. Construct North Brittney Court approximately 180-feet west of Ten Mile Road (measured from centerline to centerline). This location meets District policy for offset requirements and shall be approved as proposed. Construct all public roads within the subdivision as 36-foot street sections with curb, gutter, and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalks within 50-feet of right-of-way. 6. Construct an ACHD approved turnaround at the end of West Ashley Avenue and North Brittney Court. The turnarounds shall be constructed to provide a minimum turning radius of 45-feet and provide a minimum of a 29-foot street section on either side of any proposed center islands within the turnarounds. The medians shall be constructed a minimum of 4-feet wide to total a minimum of a 100- square foot area. Submit a design of the turnaround for review and approval by District staff. 7. Other than the access point specifically approved with this application, direct lot or parcel access to Ten Mile Road is prohibited. Lot access restrictions, as required with this application, shall be stated on the final plat. 6 8. Any proposed landscape islands/medians within the public right-of-way dedicated by this plat should be owned and maintained by a homeowners association. Notes of this should be required on the final plat. 9. Comply with all Standard Conditions of Approval. E. Standard Conditions of Approval 1. Any existing irrigation facilities shall be relocated outside of the right-of-way. 2. All utility relocation costs associated with improving street frontages abutting the site shall be bome by the developer. 3.

Donnell RECEIVED September 23, 2002 SEP 2 6 2002 City Of Meridian eity Clerk Office City of Meridian 33 East Idaho Meridian, Idaho 83642 Dear Planners: The Meridian School District has experienced phenomenal student growth the last ten years. The high schools, middle schools, and elementary schools throughout the district are operating over capacity. Approval ofMoshers Subdivision will have a significant impact on school enrollments at Chaoarral Elementary. Meridian Middle. and Meridian High School. We can predict that these homes, when completed, will house eight (8) elementary aged children, seven (7) middle school aged children, and six (6) senior high aged students. Additional students will further compound the current overcrowded situation. Residents cannot be assured of attending the neighborhood school, as it may be necessary to bus students to other schools across the district. School capacity is addressed in Idaho Code 67-6508. The Meridian School District is currently operating beyond capacity. Future development will continue to have an impact on the district's capacity. If you have any questions, please contact me at 888-6701.
