LAND USE Kilgore Heights Subdivision AZ-06-051/PP-06-052 PAGE 2 CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF NOVEMBER 16, 2006 a. Existing Land Use(s): There are two single-family homes and some associated outbuildings on this site. The home and outbuildings located at 655 W. Victory Road are to be removed. The home currently located at 835 W. Victory Road is to remain on Lot 16, Block 1 of the proposed subdivision. b. Description of Character of Surrounding Area: This area is transitioning from rural to urban. Residential projects that have been constructed or proposed in this area including the Kentucky Ridge Subdivision (Ada County), Meridian Heights Subdivision (Ada County), and Bear Creek Subdivision. c. Adjacent Land Use and Zoning: 1. North: Bear Creek Subdivision, zoned R-4 2. East: Meridian Heights Water and Sewer Association Sewage Ponds, zoned RUT (Ada County) 3. South: Rural Property and Kentucky Ridge Estates Subdivision zoned RUT and R4 (Ada County) 4. West: Single-family home on large rural parcels, zoned RUT (Ada County) d. History of Previous Actions: None. e. Existing Constraints and Opportunities: 1. Public Works: Location of sewer: There is currently a sewer manhole in Victory Road. Location of water: There is currently a 12.inch water line in Victory Road. Issues or concerns: Public Works concerns on tbis development are as follows: 1.) This development is next to the treatment ponds for tbe Meridian Heights and Kentucky Ridge county developments. DEQ separation requirements bave been administratively applied as 300-feet. There is currently a bill proposed to tbe legislature (450.01.C) that would confirm this. It requires 300-feet of separation between tbe sewage treatment ponds and a residential property line. The applicant bas indicated tbat they would not build any portion of pbase II and Lot 3 Block 1 until sucb time as tbe effluent ponds are taken off-line. However staff feels tbat Lot 4 Block 1, and Lots 7 and 6 Block 3 are within 300-foot of tbe effluent ponds. 2.) Public Works staff bas concerns in relation to tbe 300-foot separation in relation to odor issues. Tbis is a DEQ minimum and tbey encourage individual communities to determine if a larger setback should be required. Tbe City of Meridian bas limited residential development within approximately 1500-feet of our treatment plant, but is currently doing a study to determine if this is overly conservative. Commission and Council should determine if tbe 300-feet separation is adequate. 3.) This property is proposing to sewer to mains that flow to tbe Bear Creek Lift Station. At the present time no new flows will be allowed to this Lift Station. 4.) To and tbrougb compliance in relation to water and sewer mains as detailed in Public Works conditions below.

Summary of Proposed Streets and/or Access: The applicant is proposing to construct two public streets, Bushmill Drive and Ballybunion Avenue. Bushmill Drive generally runs from west to east and will intersect South Kentucky Way which connects to the arterial street Victory Road. As proposed the connection to South Kentucky Way will be the main point of access to this subdivision. Ballybunion Avenue extends south from the eastern terminus ofthe proposed Bushmill Drive and ends as a stub street to the Center's parcel to the south (#SI225131210). The applicant is also proposing one other stub street (Lahinch Street) that is extended to the Meridian Heights Water and Sewer Association property to the east. All of the internal streets are local streets with 36-feet wide street sections (measured back of concrete ribbon curb to back of concrete ribbon curb) and contain 5-foot wide detached sidewalks within 50 feet of right-of.way. Staff is generally supportive of the proposed street system. ACHD bas not submitted final comments and conditions back to the City regarding this project because it is scheduled to be beard before tbe ACHD Commission on November 15, 2006. Draft ACHD comments bave been included in Exhibit B. 7. COMMENTS MEETING On October 27,2006, ajoint agency and departments meeting was held with service providers in this area. The agencies and departments present include: Meridian Fire Department, Meridian Parks Department, Meridian Public Works Department, Meridian Police Department, and the Sanitary Services Company. Staff has included comments, conditions and recommended actions in Exhibit B below. Kilgore Heights Subdivision AZ-06-05I1PP-06-052 PAGE 4 CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF NOVEMBER 16, 2006 8. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS The majority ofthis project (approx. 16.28 acres) is designated "Medium Density Residential" on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map. Medium density residential areas are anticipated to contain between three and eight dwellings units per acre (see Page 99 of the Comprehensive Plan). A portion of the western side of the property (approx. 3.88 acres) is shown as "Low Density Residential" on the Future Land Use Map. Low Density Residential areas are anticipated to contain up to three dwellings units per acre. The proposed Preliminary Plat includes 52 single- family lots on 20.16 acres for total a gross density of 2.58 dwelling units/acre. While this number of dwelling units per acre meets the low density standard, it is below the higher standard of three to eight units per acre that was envisioned on the Future Land Use Map for the majority of the project area. Even though the proposed density is lower than the projected density portrayed on the Future Land Use Map, Staff believes that the proposed density is still in general compliance with the Comprehensive Plan because of the "step" provision. This provision described on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map allows for the City to consider, on a case-by-case basis, other residential densities than those shown on the Future Land Use Map, as long as the proposed density is within one "step" (e.g - medium to low) of the density shown on the map. Due to this flexibility and the fact tbat the proposed subdivision borders low density areas to tbe west and nortb, staff finds tbat tbe proposed development is in general compliance witb tbe Comprebensive Plan. Although this development is in general compliance with the comprehensive plan as described above, Staff believes it is important to note that the applicant has requested an R -8 zoning designation for the entire development. Under this zoning designation many of the lots in this subdivision may have redevelopment potential in the future, due to their size and configuration. For example Lot 16, Block 1 is proposed at 39,074 square feet. This lot contains an existing home that will be retained with the subdivision. Even though there may be no current plans to redevelop this lot, it does have future development potential, especially with an R-8 zoning designation. In the R-8 zone the minimum lot size is required to be 5,000 square feet, a 39,074 square foot lot configured like Lot 16, Block 1 could potentially re-subdivide into at least five separate lots that still meet the minimum dimensional standards of the R-8 zone. While this may be the most extreme example there are various other proposed lots within Phase 1 of the proposed subdivision that have similar potential to re-subdivide in the future under the R-8 standards, if this development and proposed zoning is approved. After carefully reviewing this future development potential Staff believes that some modifications should be made to the zoning designation proposed by the applicant. To help maintain the low density character in this area, which has been established by the Bear Creek Subdivision to the north and the Kentucky Ridge Subdivision to the west, Staff recommends that all of Phase 1 of the proposed subdivision be designated as R-4 (Medium Low Density Residential) and tbat all of Pbase 2 be designated as R-8 (Medium Density Residential). Staff believes that the addition of the R-4 zoning designation on the northern portion of this project will help this development remain consistent with the comprehensive plan designations for this area and also ensure that any future redevelopment is consistent with surrounding properties. Staff views the R-8 area as a good transitional zone between the established county subdivisions to the east and west. Staff would also like to point out that the properties that would receive the R-4 designation already meet the dimensional standards of the R-4 zone (this recommendation for a zone change has no impact on the proposed preliminary plat). Beyond what has been discussed above the following Comprehensive Plan policies apply to this application (staff analysis in italics below policy): Kilgore Heights Subdivision AZ-06-051/PP-06-052 PAGE 5 CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEP ARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF NOVEMBER 16,2006 Chapter VII, Goal III, Objective A, Action 1 - Require that development projects have planned for the provision of all public services. J.Vhen the City established its Area of City Impact, it planned to provide City services to the subject property. The City of Meridian plans to provide municipal services to the lands proposed to be annexed in thefollowing manner: · Sanitary sewer and water service will be extended to the project at the developer's expense. . The subject lands currently lie within the jurisdiction of the Meridian Rural Fire District. Once annexed the lands will be under the jurisdiction of the Meridian City Fire Department, who currently shares resource and personnel with the Meridian Rural Fire Department. · The subject lands currently lie within the jurisdiction of the Ada County Sheriff's Office. Once annexed the lands will be serviced by the Meridian Police Department (MPD). . The roadways adjacent to the subject lands are currently owned and maintained by the Ada County Highway District (ACHD). This service will not change. . The subject lands are currently serviced by the Meridian School District #2. This service will not change. . The subject lands are currently serviced by the Meridian Library District. This service will not change and the Meridian Library District should suffer no revenue loss as a result of the subject annexation. Municipal, fee-supported, services will be provided by the Meridian Building Department, the Meridian Public Works Department, the Meridian Water Department, the Meridian Wastewater Department, the Meridian Planning Department, Meridian Utility Billing Services, and Sanitary Services Company. Chapter VI, Goal II, Objective A, Action 3 - Consider "Accommodating Bicycle and Pedestrian Travel: A Recommended Approach" from the National Center for Bicycling and Walking in all land-use decisions. This publication encourages jurisdictions to establish bikeway and walkway facilities in new construction and reconstruction projects, in a manner that is safe, accessible and convenient. Staff believes that the subject applications comply with the policies listed in the literature noted above. Chapter VI, Goal II, Objective A, Action 8 ~ Develop alternative modes of transportation through pedestrian improvements, bicycle lanes, off-street pathways, and transit oriented development as appropriate. Although not shown on the landscape plan the conditions of approval for this development include a multi-use pathway that is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map. If required this pathway will help to promote connectivity and alternative forms of transportation in this area. Chapter VI, Goal II, Objective A, Action 6 - Require street connections between subdivisions at regular intervals to enhance connectivity and better traffic flow. The submitted preliminary plat proposes two stub streets, one to the south and one to the east. Both of these stub streets extend to parcels currently zoned RUT in Ada County" which staff Kilgore Heights Subdivision AZ-06-051IPP-06-052 PAGE 6 CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF NOVEMBER 16, 2006 anticipates will re~develop in the nearfuture. Stall believes that the applicant has done a nice job of providingfor future connectivity to the south and east. Chapter VI, Goal II, Objective A, Action 13 - Review new development for appropriate opportunities to connect to local roads and collectors in adjacent developments. See analysis above. Chapter VII, Goal I, Objective D, Action 9 - Require new residential development to provide permanent perimeter fencing to contain construction debris on site and prevent windblown debris from entering adjacent agricultural and other properties. Prior to house construction. fencing should be constmcted around the perimeter of this site. See Analysis below and Exhibit B for more information. Chapter VI, Goal II, Objective A, Action 5 - Require pedestrian access connectors in all new development to link subdivisions together to promote neighborhood connectivity as part of a community pathway system. The applicant is proposing to constmct two micro pathways within the proposed subdivision. One of these pathways will connected to the sidewalk network along Victory Road and the other will connect to future development to the east. Along with these pathways the applicant is also proposing to construct five foot sidewalks throughout the subdivision. Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective C, Action 6 - Require pedestrian access in all new development to link subdivisions together and promote neighborhood connectivity. See above. Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective C, Action 1 - Protect existing residential properties from incompatible land use development on adjacent parcels. The applicant is proposing a residential zone. Staff finds that the ex/stzng single-family residential properties in the near vicinity are compatible with the proposed development. Staff recommends that the Commission and Council rely on any verbal or written testimony that may be provided at the public hearing when determining if the applicant's zoning and development request is appropriate for this property. 9. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE a. Schedule of Uses: Unified Development Code (UDC) 11-2-1 lists single-family detached homes as permitted uses in the R-8 zoning district. b. Purpose Statement of Zone: R-8 Medium Density Residential: The purpose ofthe residential districts is to provide for a range of housing opportunities consistent with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan. Connection to the City of Meridian water and sewer systems is a requirement for all residential districts. Residential districts are distinguished by the allowable density of dwelling units per acre and corresponding housing types that can be accommodated within the density range. Kilgore Heights Subdivision AZ-06-051/PP-06-052 PAGE 7 CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF NOVEMBER 16, 2006 c. Common driveways: UDC 11-6C-3D describes the standards for common driveways. All conunon drives proposed by the applicant shall meet the standards as described in the UDC. These standards are listed below: 1. Maximum dwelling units served: Common driveways shall serve a maximum of four (4) dwelling units. 2. Width standards: Common driveways shall be a minimum of twenty feet (20') in width. 3. Maximum length: Common driveways shall be a maximum of one hundred fifty feet (150') in length or less, unless otherwise approved by the Meridian City Fire Department. 4. Improvement standards: Common driveways shall be paved with a surface capable of supporting fire vehicles and equipment. 5. Abutting properties: Unless limited by significant geographical features, all properties that abut a common driveway shall take access from the driveway. 6. Turning radius: Common driveways shall be straight or provide a twenty-eight foot (28') inside and forty-eight foot (48') outside turning radius. 7. Depictions: For any plats using a common driveway, the setbacks, building envelope, and orientation of the lots and structures shall be shown on the preliminary and/or final plat. 8. Easement: A perpetual ingress/egress easement shall be filed with the Ada County Recorder, which shall include a requirement for maintenance of a paved surface capable of supporting fire vehicles and equipment. 9. Alternative compliance: The Director may approve or recommend approval of alternative design or construction standards when the applicant can demonstrate that the proposed overall design meets or exceeds the intent of the required standards of this Section and shall not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare. d. General Standards: All of the proposed lots comply with the standard street frontage and lot size requirements of the R-8 zone established in the UDC. No dimensional modifications are being requested for the proposed development. 10. ANALYSIS a. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation: 1. AZ Application: Based on the policies and goals contained in the Comprehensive Plan, staff believes that the requested R-8 zone is appropriate for Phase 2 of this property. As described in Section 8 above Staff is recommending that Pbase 1 of tbis project be given an R-4 zoning designation. Please see Exhibit D for detailed analysis of the required facts and findings for annexation. The annexation legal description submitted with the application (stamped on September 25, 2006 by Michael s. Byrns, PLS) shows the property as contiguous to the existing corporate boundary of the City of Meridian. However, Staff is recommending tbat Phase 1 of this development be annexed and zoned R-4. New legal descriptions for this property will be required, prior to tbe annexation ordinance being approved. Special Considerations: Kilgore Heights Subdivision AZ-06-051/PP-06.052 PAGE 8 CITY OF MERIDlAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF NOVEMBER 16, 2006 Development Agreement: UDC 11-5B-3.D.2 and Idaho Code 9 65-6711A provides the City the authority to require a property owner to enter into a Development Agreement (DA) with the City that may require some written commitment for all future uses. Staff believes that a DA is necessary to ensure that this property is developed in a fashion that is consistent with the comprehensive plan designation and does not negatively impact nearby properties. Prior to the annexation ordinance approval, a Development Agreement (DA) shall be entered into between the City of Meridian, property owner (at the time of annexation ordinance adoption), and the developer. The applicant shall contact the City Attorney, Bill Nary, at 888-4433 to initiate this process. The DA shall incorporate the following: . That all future uses shall 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. . That all future development of the subj ect property shall be constructed in accordance with City of Meridian ordinances in effect at the time of development. . That the applicant will be responsible for all costs associated with the sewer and water service extension. . That 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. . That the following shall be the only allowed uses on this property: single-family detached homes and allowed accessory uses of the R.8 zone. . Tbat the applicant agrees to construct a 10-foot wide multi-use pathway from Victory Road, to tbe southernmost boundary of tbe property. . Tbat Lots 2,3,5,6, and 7 of Block 3 be restricted to one-story homes. . That prior to issuance of any building permit, the subject property be subdivided in accordance with the City of Meridian Unified Development Code. 2. PP Application: The proposed preliminary plat substantially complies with the Unified Development Code. Special Considerations: Multi-Use Patbway: The preliminary plat and landscape plan submitted by the applicant do not show a multi.use pathway on this site. The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map calls for a multi-use pathway on the eastern boundary of the proposed development. Staff believes that a pathway connection in this area is essential to maintain the integrity of the pathway network in this part of the city, especially with the Bear Creek Park being so close and with the area to the south of Kilgore Heights Subdivision AZ-06-051/PP-06.052 PAGE 9 CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF NOVEMBER 16, 2006 this project developing in the future. Staff believes that a 10 foot wide multi-use pathway should be extended from Victory Road to the southernmost boundary of the proposed development. This pathway should be designed in accordance with UDC 11- 3A-8 and the City of Meridian Parks and Recreation Master Plan. Zoning Designation: Based on the analysis provided in Section 8, Staff recommends that all of Phase 1 of the proposed subdivision be designated as R-4 (Medium Low Density Residential), and that all of Phase 2 be designated as R-8 (Medium Density Residential). Staff believes that the combination of these two zoning designations will help this development remain consistent with the comprehensive plan designation for this area and also ensure that this development is consistent with surrounding properties. Landscaping: The landscape plan prepared by WRG Design Inc., on 9-15-06, is approved with the following modifications/notes: . Per UDC 1l.3G-3A, set aside at least 5.2% (1.05 acres) of the site for useable open space, as proposed. . The applicant should construct a minimum 25-foot wide street buffer along the entire length of Victory Road, exclusive of ACHD right-of-way. Said buffer shall be designed and constructed in accordance with UDC 11-3B-7. . Per UDC 11-3B-IO, the applicant should work with the City Arborist, Elroy Huff, on designing, adopting, and implementing a protection and mitigation plan for the existing trees on site. . A written certificate of completion should be prepared by the landscape architect, designer, or qualified nurseryman responsible for the landscape plan. All standards of installation should apply as listed in UDC 11-3B-14. Submit copies of a revised landscape plan, reflecting the changes/notes mentioned above, with the fmal plat application(s). Stub Streets: The applicant should be required to provide public stub streets to the Meridian Heights Water and Sewer Association property to the east (parcel #SI225120700) and to the Centers property to the south (Parcel #S1225131210) as proposed. 735 W. Victory Road (out parcel): If the proposed subdivision is developed as shown on the preliminary plat there would be little opportunity for the parcel located at 735 W. Victory Road (parcel #SI225120900) to efficiently develop in the future. If the owners of this parcel ever wished to subdivide, and requested annexation into the City, the only access they would have to a public street would be Victory Road which is an arterial street. To avoid having direct lot access to Victory Road in the future, Staff believes that some type of access should be given to this out parcel though the proposed subdivision. Staff would support either of the following solutions: a. Realign the proposed Buslunill drive to provide a minimum of 30 feet of local street frontage to parcel #S1225120900. Staff believes that this amount of street frontage would be sufficient to allow the out parcel to develop in the future (with a common driveway for up to 4 lots). b. Provide parcel #S1225120900 with access to a common driveway that meets the common driveway standards as described in UDC 11-6C-3D. With this option the applicant should be required to grant a cross access easement to Kilgore Heights Subdivision AZ-06-051IPP-06-052 PAGE 10 CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF NOVEMBER 16, 2006 parcel #S 1225120900 which allows future lots that may be developed on the out parcel to access Bushmill Drive through a common driveway. Due to tbe nature of this recommended redesign, Staff believes tbat tbe applicant should be required to submit ten full-size and one 8.5" x 11" copy, as well as new PDF and jpg copies of a revised preliminary plat tbat incorporates one of tbe proposed options described above. Tbis redesign sbould be submitted to Staff at least ten days prior to tbe City Council bearing for tbis project. Pbase Restrictions: Phase 2 of this project is adjacent to the existing sewage ponds to the east that are owned and operated by the Meridian Heights Water and Sewer Association. The applicant has proposed that no building will commence on any lot within Phase 2, or Lot 3, Block 1 within Phase 1, until the adjacent sewage ponds serving the Meridian Heights and Kentucky Ridge Subdivisions have been decommissioned and declared clean by the Central District Health Department. Staff believes it is important to note that phase 2 of this development may not be constructed for some time due to the existing sewage ponds. Staff believes tbat tbe applicant sbould address tbis situation at tbe public hearing to clarify wbat will happen witb Pbase 2. Building Restrictions: The applicant is proposing to restrict Lots 2,3,5,6, and 7 of Block 3 to one-story homes. This restriction is designed to lessen the visual impact of the proposed subdivision on homeowners in the adjacent Kentucky Ridge Subdivision. Staff is supportive of this restriction. Access to Victory Road: The applicant is proposing to relinquish all of the existing access points to Victory Road that currently exist on this property. Staff is supportive of this proposal by the applicant. Existing Residences/Buildings: The site currently contains multiple buildings. Some of the existing buildings span across proposed lot lines and do not meet setback requirements of the requested zoning district. Therefore, any existing building that does not meet setback requirements of the requested zoning district shall be located/re- located in accordance with the building setbacks of the R-8/R-4 zone, prior to signature ofthe final plat by the City Engineer. Fencing: The submitted landscape plan shows proposed fencing around some of the site. Tbe applicant sbould make it clear during tbe public hearing how they will address fencing on the entire site. A detailed fencing plan should be submitted upon application of the final plat. If permanent fencing is not provided before issuance of a building permit, temporary construction fencing to contain debris must be installed around the perimeter. Perimeter, common open space, and micro-path /multi-use fencing shall be designed according to UDC 11-3A-7. Common Areas: Maintenance of all common areas shall be the responsibility of the Kilgore Heights Home Owners' Association. Ditcbes, Laterals, and Canals: Per UDC 11~3A-6 all irrigation ditches, laterals or canals, exclusive of any natural waterways that intersect, cross or lie within the area being subdivided shall be covered. This requirement doe not apply to the Ten Mile Creek which is classified as a natural waterway and must be protected as stated in UDC 11-6A-IH. Kilgore Heights Subdivision AZ-06-051/PP-06.052 PAGE 11 CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE Of NOVEMBER ]6, 2006 Pressure Irrigation: The City of Meridian requires that pressurized irrigation systems be supplied by a year-round source of water. The applicant should be required to use 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 used, the developer will be responsible for the payment of assessments for the common areas prior to signature on the [mal plat by the City Engineer. An underground, pressurized irrigation system should be installed to all landscape areas per the approved specifications and in accordance with UDC 11-3A- 15 and MCC 9.1-28. b. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of tbe subject applications AZ- 06-051 and PP-06-052, witb tbe conditions listed in Exbibit B of the Staff Report for the bearing date of Novemher 16, 2006. 11.
