Subdivision No. 1. The current zoning designations for the proposed subdivision are R-15 (Medium

will be required to submit a conditional use permit application, or an additional plat for approval on Lots
9 and 26 Block 3, Lot 1 Bock 4, and Lot 1 Block 5, the lots that are anticipated to contain multi-family
dwellings.
Gramercy Subdivision No. 1 is on the south side of East Overland Road, west of South Eagle Road in the
NE ~ ofT. 3N., R.1E., Section 20. This property has not been previously platted.
The City Council approved the preliminary plat for this site as Kenai Subdivision on July 18, 2006.

The applicant has applied for alternative compliance regarding the required lO.foot landscape buffers
along S. Wells Avenue, E. Gala Court, E. Blue Horizon Drive, and E. Goldstone Street (See Site Specific
Condition #3 below). The applicant is requesting to reduce said landscape buffers from lO-feet wide to 8-
feet wide, exclusive of a 5-foot sidewalk adjacent to the buffer. Also, the applicant has requested a portion
(approximately 730 feet south of Overland Road) ofthe required lO-foot wide landscape buffer along S.
Wells Avenue be waived in lieu of the proposed hardscape design that includes planters, enhanced
paving, and pedestrian furnishings (benches, lights, etc.). Staff has reviewed the applicant's alternatc
compliance request and will be issuing an approval letter on December 1, 2006.

should be relocated to the other side of the sidewalk and closer to the playground area. Staff has included
this as a condition below.

Idaho Power Company, upon receipt of Q formal request, may possibly need to upgrade
existing infrastructure in order to provide electrical services to this development.
There is an existing 138 kV line so Idaho Power requests a 25 foot setback from the
center of the line be a no building Zone.
The applicant should contact the local Idaho Power Company Operations Center with a
formal request for service.
Sincerely,
