Item 10: Public Hearing: AZ 06-050 Request for Annexation and Zoning of 4.64 acres from RR to an R-8 zone for Tree Farm Addition by Treehaven, LLC - north of Chinden Boulevard and west of N. Ten Mile Road: Moe: At this time I'd like to open the Public Hearing AZ 06-050, request for annexation and zoning of 4.64 acres from RR to R-8 zone for Tree Farm Addition and start with the staff report, please. Watters: Chairman Moe, Members of the Commission, the application before you is an annexation and zoning request for the property located at 6745 North Black Cat Road. The property is currently zoned RR in Ada County and the applicant is requesting to annex the property with an R-8 medium density residential zoning district, which complies with the Comp Plan designation of medium density residential. No new development is proposed at this time. The subject property is generally located on the west side of North Black Cat Road, approximately a quarter mile north of Chinden Boulevard. This property currently has direct access to North Black Cat Road. This portion of Black Cat that this property has frontage on is only a 20 foot wide street section with 30 feet of right of way that is improved with gravel. No new streets or accesses are proposed or approved with this application. The conceptual street layout proposed in the concept plan has been previously reviewed with the Tree Farm application. The site contains an existing single family home and associated outbuildings. The surrounding property is currently agricultural, but was recently annexed as part of the proposed Tree Farm development with a conceptual development plan. The annexation of the surrounding Tree Farm property resulted in Meridian Planning & Zoning November 16, 2006 Page 34 of 63 the property -- the subject property being an enclave. If you look on the overhead here, here is an aerial of the property and the property to the northeast and west was zoned R-8 and the property to the south was zoned C-C. The subject property is designated on the conceptual development plan to contain lifestyle housing, which consists of town homes, assisted living, paired housing, and cluster courtyards. These uses are permitted uses in the R-8 zoning district. The property currently has no sewer available to it. It's master planned for sewer to the future North Black Cat Trunk, which will not be available until late 2007 or early 2008. There is no City of Meridian water main currently available to the site. United Water and the City of Meridian are currently in negotiation that would allow United Water to provide service to this site. No landscaping improvements are required at this time, but will be required upon development of the property. A development agreement modification is also requested to incorporate this property and the existing development agreement for the Tree Farm. All conditions and terms of the existing development agreement shall apply to the subject property. Also, I want to just note here that the subject property is this little piece right here. The blue outline that you see all around the development is the boundary of the proposed Tree Farm development. Staff is recommending approval of the requested annexation and zoning as requested by the applicant and stated in the staff report. That's all staff has, unless the Commission has questions. Moe: Do the Commissioners have any questions? Okay. Would the applicant, please, come forward. O'Neill: Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission, my name is Derick O'Neill. I live at 191 East Twin Willow, Boise, Idaho. And I'm here representing Tree Haven, LLC, tonight. And I have read and reviewed the staff comments and I am in agreement with them. I'd stand for questions. Moe: Any questions from the Commissioners? Thank you very much. Well, no one has signed up for -- to come forward. If there is anyone here that would like to speak on this, feel free to come up. Seeing none in the audience -- Zaremba: Mr. Chairman? Moe: Yes, sir.
