Watertower Lane, Suite 202 Meridian, ID 83642 RE: Baraya Subdivision Response to Staff Report Dear Commissioners and City Council Members: RECEIVED GITY OF MERIDIAN CITY CLERK OFFICF We are in receipt of the Baraya Subdivision Staff Report dated January 1, 2007. We are disappointed that Staff recommends denial instead of approval with conditions since the submitted plat reflects several months of expensive iterations and meetings to accommodate the current comprehensive plan, the pending Ten Mile plan, surrounding neighbors, and all agency concerns. Our new application for Baraya was submitted in early November. On December 15th, City staff called to inform me the density was too low for the requested zoning. Although we plan on justifying our density at the Planning Commission hearing on January 4`t', we feel it is important to note for the record the information submitted to Stalin an attempt to justify our plan and hopefully receive staff conditions of approval. The following is a summary of the correspondence sent to the City staff: December 15th Phone call from Staff regarding inadequate density December 15th E-mail from RMR with Bubble Density Exhibit December 15th E-mail from RMR with Lot Variation Exhibit December 16th E-mail from RMR with Lot Size Analysis December 19th E-mail from RMR with Density Scenarios December 21St E-mail from RMR with 2 Color Exhibits January 2°d Staff Report Received We look forward to discussing the project on Thursday night.

We do have some area of R-15 density within our R-15 immediately west of the north/south collector where we have townhome lots and 40' detached lots.. Within the other areas of the R-15, we have R-15 conforming lots, but the diverse lot mix accounting for slope constraints and the ample open space dilutes our density. For the school site, Caleb recommended we do R-15 for the special use permit requirement issue on R-8 vs R-15. So, with our lot size mix spread throughout the site, R -40/R-15 made sense. Maybe townhomes on the west property line would add more justification for the R-15, 1 dont know. I asked the question at the pre -app and everyone shrugged their shoulders like it didnt make or break us. Overall, we believ we have a preliminary plat that meets the current comp plan, meets the intent of the proposed comp plan, and have the roadways on our south property line combined with a park and pathways leading to the school as a nice buffer to whatever may be built in the future to the south. If we need to get down to net densities to look at higher numbers, let me know. I can provide those calculations as well. Thanks and have a good weekend. Matt Schultz RMR Consulting, Inc. 2127 S.

They are not S your credit wrong, but the school lot acreage doesnt measure the entire parcel it sits on ... just the lot excluding RU ore - free and open space lots. So if you were trying to subtract it out to get an area to calculate the gross density - of the residential R-15, it would be incorrect. I apologize for the confusion. Don't Quit Job 1 year Degree Find Any ® Email Address Degrees in as fast as 1 year. Please see the attached exhibit showing acreage and density. We do not know what the density of the R-40 will come in at, but the higher it is, the higher our blended average. You can also see that approximately 1/2 of the lots within the R-15 residential zone are 30'-35' townhome lots and 40' lots anc meet the R-15 standard dimensionally. Thats what allows us to get up to 5 units per acre with over 100, open space and a mix of "bigger" R-8 lots ... but they are interspersed throughout, so a clean zoning boundary is not practical... hence the request for R-15. I hope this helps as you prepare your staff report. If we can do anything to help with stats or measurements, let me know. thanks Matt Schultz RMR Consulting, Inc. 2127 S.

"Amanda Hess" <hessa@meridiancity.org> CC: "Kent Brown" <kbrown@balleyengineerS.Com>, "Caleb Hood" <hcodcL&Merldlancity.org>, "Anna Canning" <canninga@meridiancity.org> Amanda, I had never updated the attached spreadsheet for the minor tweeks we did to Baraya last month based on your requests to adjust some lots and connectivity to the school. I went through it this morning, and as you can see from the calculations we are at 5,177 SF average with 11.25 acres of open space/landscaping. If wi were to increase density, we would hold the amount of open space, hold the amount of roads (if we are lucky), and reduce the average SF per lot. To get the 8 per acre overall on the R-15 residential (instead of 5 my calculations show we would have to add 197 lots/units and would be at 3,203 SF average... which is less than the smallest attached townhome lot. Just more information for you as you write the staff report. Thank, 1W Online Degree Programs Matt Schultz Degrees in as RMR Consulting, Inc. fast as 1 year. 2127 S.
