SUBJECT: Stonehill Crossing Subdivision—Meridian, Idaho
Final Plat Application, FP-2024-0020
Dear Bill and Sonya,
On behalf of Mills Family Revocable Trust, Stonehill Church Inc., and Endurance Holdings LLC,
this letter is to accompany the Final Plat submittal for Stonehill Crossing Subdivision. The
Preliminary Plat for Stonehill Crossing Subdivision was approved on March 26, 2024. The Ada
County Surveyor has approved the subdivision name. Ada County has also approved the two
street names.
The submitted final plat on 16.064 acres for two (2) building lots, one (1) common lot for a private
street, and two (2) one 1 public streets in an R-4(existing residence) and R-8 zone (planned
church) substantially conforms to the Rezone, Preliminary Plat, Conditional Use Permit, and
Development Agreement Modification (Instrument No. 2024-031550) (City of Meridian File No. H-
2023-0041, Rezone AZ Ordinance#24-2053); and the Development Agreement(Instrument No.
2016-007090) (City of Meridian File No. H-2015-0019, Rezone AZ Ordinance#16-1670) and meets
all the requirements thereof. Additionally.,the submitted final plat meets all the requirements and
provisions of the Unified Development Code (UDC) and acceptable engineering, architectural,
and surveying practices and local standards.
Per City/Ageney Comment&ftndition VIII.A.2. Prebminary Nat, a new local:street(W Rock
Drive) intersecting S Oakbriar Way is proposed between the two Lots to be piatted. W RockhiR
Drive is pianned for future extension to the south and east-. Per City/Agency Comment&Condition
VIII.A.2. Preliminary Plat, a new public local street intersecting S Oakbriar Way was previously
requested by the City of Meridian between the church lot and existing residential lot to be platted
as part of the final plat.The street would provide permanent access to the church lot, existing
residence, and future residential lots to the south of the church lot. Ada County Highway District
(ACHD) initially stated their support for this public street (i.e., prior to the addition of the public
street to the preliminary plat drawings). However, upon further review of the subdivision
circulation, including the concept of the future residential lots,ACHD retracted their support for
the public street.A private driveway access is now planned to replace the public local street to
provide permanent access to the church lot and to the existing Mills residence, but no future

vehicular access to the future lots to the south. However, as part of the Certificate of Zoning
Compliance application for the church property,we intend to propose a pedestrian cross-access
easement to provide for better pedestrian connectivity within the ultimate built-out subdivision.
Plans are currently being developed by others for the remainder of the residential property
included on the approved Preliminary Plat. The concept includes realigning and tiling the Calkins
Lateral generally parallel to and west of S Oakbriar Way. As required by the City, a 10'-wide multi-
use pathway would be installed to follow the new Calkins Lateral alignment. As such, the current
final plat application and roadway design drawings do not include the typical 5'-wide concrete
sidewalk along the west side of S Oakbriar Way.
Sincerely,
