Idaho Power Company, upon receipt of a 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,
Margareta Ionescu

Dear Planners:
The Meridian School District has experienced phenomenal student growth the last ten
years. The high schools, middle schools, and elementary schools throughout the district
are operating over capacity.
Approval of the Portico Place Subdivision will have a significant impact on school
enrollments at Discovery Elementary, Sawtooth Middle and Eagle High School.
We can predict that these homes, when completed, will house nine (9) elementary aged
children, seven (7) middle school aged children, and five (5) senior high aged students.
Additional students will further compound the current overcrowded situation. Residents
cannot be assured of attending the neighborhood school, as it may be necessary to bus
students to other schools across the district.
School capacity is addressed in Idaho Code 67-6508. The Meridian School District is
currently operating beyond capacity. Future development will continue to have an impact
on the district's capacity. If you have any questions, please contact me at 855-4500.
Sincerely,
~

is requesting annexation and zoning of 5.17 acres to R -8 and preliminary plat approval of 26
building lots consisting of single-family detached and attached homes with 3 common lots.
Alternative Compliance is requested for a reduction to the required buffer width along
McMillan Road from 35 feet to 25 feet along the south side of the existing home. As an
alternative to the width, 42 additional shrubs and 3 additional trees beyond the required
amount are proposed within the McMillan Road landscape buffer. The applicant is also
requesting that the current resident, Mrs. Buckley, continue to have direct vehicular access
from McMillan Road to her garage until such time as she no longer lives there. At that time,
the direct access would be eliminated and the house would be accessed solely by N. Beethoven
Avenue, an internal street. To guarantee that the access point to McMillan Road would be
removed and landscaping installed in the area where the driveway was, the applicant has
agreed to submit a cash surety to the City to be held until the applicant removes the driveway
and installs the required landscaping in the street buffer.

present include: Meridian Fire Department, Meridian Police Department, Meridian Parks Department,
Meridian Public Works Department, and the Sanitary Services Company. Staffhas included all comments
and recommended actions as Conditions of Approval in the attached Exhibit B.
8. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS
This property is designated "Medium Density Residential" on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use
Map. Medium density residential areas are anticipated to contain three to eight dwelling units per acre
(see Page 99 of the Comprehensive Plan). The proposed Preliminary Plat includes 26 single.family lots
on 5.17 acres for a gross density of 5.03 dwelling units/acre. The proposed density lies within the
anticipated density ofthe Comprehensive Plan for this area.
Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this property and apply to the
proposed development (staff analysis in italics below policy):
· Chapter VII, Goal III, Objective A, Action 1 - Require that development projects have
planned for the provision of all public services.
When the City established its Area of City Impact, it planned to provide City senlices to the
subject property. The City of Meridian plans to provide municipal services to the lands
proposed to be annexed in the following 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.
Portico Place Subdivision AZ-06-052, PP-06-053

CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF DECEMBER 21, 2006
};> 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 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 proposed development is
compatible with the existing residential uses that surround the property.
. Chapter VII, Goal I, Objective C, Action 4 - Require new residential development to meet
development standards regarding landscaping, signage, fences and walls, etc.
Landscaping and fencing is proposed and will be provided on the site in accordance with
UDC 11-3B and UDC 11-3A-7as shown on the landscape plan submitted with the
application. Sign age for the subdivision is required to comply with UDC ii-3D and will
require separate sign permit approval.
. Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective D, Action 2 - Restrict curb cuts and access points on
collectors and arterial streets.
The applicant has proposed to temporarily retain the existing access to McMillan Road for
the existing house. However, Staff is requesting that the access be terminated and access to
the house be provided solely from N Beethoven Avenue, in compliance with the
Comprehensive Plan, and at the request of the Meridian Police Department, and ACHD.
. 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.
Six-foot tall solid fencing is proposed along the west, east, and south boundaries per the
landscape plan. The existing fencing, consisting of barb wire and a small section of 6-foot tall
cedar fencing, along the north boundary is proposed to remain; However, Staff is requesting
that the existing barb wire section be replaced with fencing to match the rest of the fencing on
the site). Perimeter fencing is required to be installed prior to issuance of building permits
(see Section i 0 below and Exhibit B).
. Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective C, Action 10 - Support a variety of residential categories
(low-, medium-, and high-density single family, multi-family, townhouses, duplexes,
apartments, condominiums, etc.) for the purpose of providing the City with a range of
affordable housing opportunities.
Portico Place Subdivision AZ-06-052, PP-06-053
PAGE 6
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF DECEMBER 21,2006
The subject application includes a request for the R-8 medium-density zoning designation.
The subject property is located adjacent to land zoned R-8 and land zoned RUT (rural urban
transition) in Ada County. The applicant is proposing both attached and detached units,
which Staff believes will provide the City with a variety of housing types. Staff finds that the
requested zoning designation is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan designation for this
site.
. Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective C, Action 3 - Require usable open space to be incorporated
into new residential subdivision plats.
The applicant is providing 6% usable open space located centrally within the subdivision
with a gazebo, walking paths, and parking areas.
. Chapter VI, Goal II, Obj ective A, Action 6 - Require street connections between subdivisions
at regular intervals to enhance connectivity and better traffic flow.
One stub street is proposed at the north boundary which will provide fUture connectivity for
the property to the north when it develops.
9. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE
a. Zoning Schedule of Use Control: UDC ll-2A-2 lists single-family attached and detached
dwellings as principal permitted uses in the R-8 zone.
b. Purpose Statement of Zone: 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.
10. ANALYSIS
a. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation
ANNEXATION AND ZONING ANALYSIS: Based on the policies and goals contained in the
Comprehensive Plan, Staff believes that the requested R-8 zone is appropriate for this property.
Please see Exhibit D for detailed analysis ofthe required facts and fmdings for annexation.
The annexation legal description submitted with the application (prepared on October 2,
2006, by Robert Hinckley, PLS) shows the property as contiguous to the existing
corporate boundary of the City of Meridian.
Development Agreement: UDC 11~5B-3D2 and Idaho Code S 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 is
not recommending that a DA be entered into at this time. However, the Commission and
Council may require a DA if they deem it necessary at the public hearing.
PRELIMINARY PLAT ANALYSIS: Based on the policies and goals contained in the
Comprehensive Plan and the general compliance of the proposal with the Unified Development
Code, Staff believes that this is a good location for the proposed single-family residential
development. Please see Exhibit D for detailed analysis of facts and findings for a preliminary
plat.
Dimensional Requirements of the R-8 zone per UDC Table 11-2A-5: All proposed
lots, except for Lot 2, Block 1, meet the dimensional requirements of the R-8 zone for
property size & street frontage. Lot 2, Block 1 does not meet the minimum 40-foot street
Portico Place Subdivision AZ-06-052, PP-06-053
PAGE 7
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF DECEMBER 21,2006
frontage requirement; Staff has included a condition that the plat be revised to meet this
requirement (see Exhibit B). The lots along the east boundary that abut Sheridan Place
Subdivision average about 4,415 square feet; the abutting lots in Sheridan Place
Subdivision average about 8,543 square feet, with the largest lot being 15,420 square feet
at the southwest corner. All of the proposed lots along the east boundary will be for
attached dwellings. All lots shall meet the minimum setback & maximum building height
requirements stated in UDC Table ll-2A-5 and #6h above.
NOTE: Alternative Compliance is requested for a reduction in the street landscape buffer
width along E. McMillan Road, an Entryway Corridor, from 35 feet to 25 feet for the
portion on the south side of the existing house. See Alternative Compliance below for
analysis.
Landscaping: Two landscape plans were submitted for this project, Sheet L1.l1abeled
"No McMillan Access" and Sheet L1.2 labeled "McMillan Access". Sheet Ll.2 is not
approved. The landscape plan prepared by Jensen Belts Associates, on 10-06-06, Sheet
Ll.2 "No McMillan Access," is approved with the following modifications/notes:
. Widen the McMillan Road landscape buffer from 19 feet to 25 feet in front
of the existing house (as mentioned in the narrative letter). Construct the
McMillan Road landscape buffer in accordance with the UDC requirements,
as amended with the Alternative Compliance request. Provide landscaping
(shrubs and trees) in the area where the driveway was proposed to remain.
· Per UDC 11-3G-3A, set aside at least 6% (0.31 of an acre) of the site for
useable open space, as proposed.
. Per UDC ll-3B-1O, the applicant shall 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 and submitted to the Planning Department upon completion of the
landscaping prior to Certificate of Occupancy for the site. All standards of
installation should apply as listed in UDC ll-3B-14.
Note: A 6-foot wide strip of landscaping is shown along the west side of N
Beethoven Avenue; ACHD 's report states that the west side should have a 3-foot
wide gravel shoulder and barrow ditch adjacent to the property line within 40
feet of right-of-way (see ACHD report, Site Specific Condition of Approval #5).
Submit copies of a revised landscape plan, reflecting the changes/notes
mentioned above, with the final plat application(s).
Common Areas/Open Space: The applicant has provided 0.31 acres (6%) of
landscaped usable open space, meeting the 5% minimum required by UDC ll-3G-3A-l.
A 13,520 square foot common area is proposed within the center of the development with
a gazebo, pathway, and parking areas located at each end of the common area.
Maintenance of all common areas shall be the responsibility of the Portico Place
Subdivision Homeowners Association. Staff is supportive of the proposed open space and
landscaping shown on the landscape plan with the conditions of approval listed in Exhibit
B.
Alternative Compliance: Alternative Compliance is requested for a reduction to the
required buffer width along McMillan Road from 35 feet to 25 feet along the south side
of the existing home. Due to the current location of the home, the buffer width would go
Portico Place Subdivision AZ-06-052, PP-06-053
PAGE 8
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF DECEMBER 21,2006
right up to the existing structure. In return for the reduced width, 42 additional shrubs and
3 additional trees beyond the required amount will be planted along the entire length of
the McMillan Road landscape buffer. Staff is supportive of the request for Alternative
Compliance and the applicant's proposal to provide additional landscaping.
Common Drives: Lots 7-10, Block 2 and Lots 13-15, Block 1 shall be accessed by
common drives and the owners of said lots shall be responsible for the maintenance
thereof. Staff recommends approval ofthe common drives shown on the plat and has
included conditions of approval for said common drives in Exhibit B. All common drives
shall meet the requirements ofUDC ll-6C-3D.
Access: Access to the subdivision is proposed from E. McMillan Road via N. Beethoven
Avenue. No on-street parking is allowed on N. Beethoven Avenue, as it is a reduced
street section. On-street parking is only allowed on one side ofN. Portico Avenue and N.
Chopin Avenue, which connect to Beethoven Avenue. No parking signs shall be installed
accordingly. Access to the existing house is proposed to remain temporarily from E.
McMillan Road until the current resident no longer lives there. An additional access is
also proposed to N. Beethoven Avenue for the existing house. Staff is not supportive of
the request to retain the existing access to McMillan Road for Lot 17, Block 1 because
the Comprehensive Plan (limits access to arterials), the Police Department, and ACHD
are not supportive of additional access points onto arterial roadways other than those
required for subdivision access (see Section #8 above and Exhibit B). Also, an additional
access point for the existing home would be located approximately 45 feet from the
access point for the proposed subdivision (N. Beethoven Avenue). If approved, this
would potentially create a safety hazard for traffic exiting/entering either of the access
points at the same time.
Elevations: The applicant has submitted several examples of single-story typical
elevations for the attached and detached units proposed in this subdivision. Staff
recommends approval of the proposed elevations; however, Staff is concerned about the
layout and access ofthe attached unit proposed on Lot 7, Block 2. This lot is
required to take access from the common drive and the other half of the attached
unit, Lot 6, will take access from N. Portico Avenue. Staff recommends that the
applicant bring, to the Commission hearing, a site plan showing the footprint of the
homes on Lots 6 and 7 and elevations of the homes that show how these homes will
look from the street.
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 utilize
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 utilized, the developer will be responsible for the payment of
assessments for the common areas prior to signature on the final 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
Stub Streets: The applicant should be required to provide a public stub street to the
property to the north (Parcel #S0529336l00) as proposed on the plat. A temporary turn-
around is not required as the length of the stub does not exceed 150 feet in length.
Existing Residence: The site currently contains an existing residence located on Lot 17,
Block 1 that is proposed to remain. The existing home meets the setback requirements of
the requested zone. The applicant has stated to Staff that the existing house will remain
Portico Place Subdivision AZ-06-052, PP-06-053
PAGE 9
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF DECEMBER 21,2006
on the site after the current resident no longer resides there. Direct lot access for the
existing residence to E. McMillan Road is not supported by Staff, the Police Department,
and ACHD. Access should be taken internally from N. Beethoven Avenue.
Fencing: Six-foot tall solid perimeter fencing is shown on the landscape plan at the west,
east, and south boundaries. The existing fencing is proposed to remain along the north
boundary, which consists of barb wire with a small section of 6~foot tall cedar fence.
However, Staff is requesting that the applicant provide fencing to match the rest of
the fencing proposed on the site where the barb wire fence currently exists as UDC
11-3A-7A3 does not allow barb wire fencing in the R-8 zone. The applicant should
submit a detailed fencing plan with the fmal plat application for the subdivision. All
perimeter fencing must be installed prior to issuance of building permits. Fencing should
taper down to a 3 foot maximum within 20 feet of all rights-of-way. All fencing shall be
installed in accordance with UDC ll-3A-7.
Ditches, Laterals, and Canals: As per UDC ll-3A-6, all irrigation ditches, laterals or
canals, exclusive of natural waterways and waterways being used as amenities, which
intersect, cross or lie within the area being subdivided shall be covered.
b. Staff Recommendation: Based on the above analysis, staff finds that applications AZ-06-052 and
PP-06-053 substantially conform to the Comprehensive Plan policies and UDC standards. Staff
recommends approval of said AZ and PP applications, and the request for Alternative
Compliance, subject to the conditions listed in Exhibit B.

the parcel by means of a warranty deed (48-feet ifthe sidewalk is to be located within the right-
of-way). Staff has spoken with the applicant after the issuance of the original report. It has been
determined at this time that a right-of- way dedication of 37 -feet from centerline would be
acceptablefor McMillan Road due to site constraints. If the applicant chooses to dedicate 37-feet
of right-of-way, the sidewalk easement should be increased to ll-feet. The right-of-way purchase
and sale agreement and deed must be completed and signed by the applicant prior to scheduling
the final plat for signature by the ACHD Commission or prior to issuance of a building permit (or
other required permits), whichever occurs fIrst. Allow up to 30 business days to process the
right-of-way dedication after receipt of all requested material. The owner will be paid the fair
market value of the right-of-way dedicated which is an addition to existing ACHD right-of-way if
the owner submits a letter of application to the impact fee administrator prior to breaking ground,
in accordance with the ACHD Ordinance in effect at that time (currently Ordinance #200), if
funds are available.
7.1.7 Construct a 5.foot concrete sidewalk no closer than 4l-feet from the centerline of McMillan Road
to match improvements to the east (Sheridan Place Subdivision). If the sidewalk is located
outside of the right-of.way, the applicant should provide a sidewalk easement.

CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF JULY 20,2006
D. Required Findings from Unified Development Code
1. Annexation Findings:
Upon recommendation from the Commission, the Council shall make a full investigation
and shall, at the public hearing, review the application. In order to grant an annexation
and/or rezone, the Council shall make the following findings:
1. The map amendment complies with the applicable provisions of the comprehensive
plan;
The applicant is proposing to zone all of the subject property to R-8. Staff finds that the
proposed zoning map amendment complies with the applicable provisions of the
Comprehensive Plan. Please see Comprehensive Plan Policies and Goals, Section 8, of
this Staff Report.
2. The map amendment complies with the regulations outlined for the proposed
district, specifically the purpose statement;
Staff finds that single-family residential dwellings are allowed within the requested
zoning district of R-8 as Principal Permitted Uses. The accompanying plat demonstrates
the development will provide for a range of housing opportunities with the proposed
attached and detached dwellings.
3. The map amendment shall not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety,
and welfare;
Staff fmds that the proposed zoning amendment will not be detrimental to the public
health, safety, or welfare. Staff recommends that the Commission and Council rely on
any oral or written testimony that may be provided when determining this finding.
4. The map amendment shall not result in an adverse impact upon the delivery of
services by any political subdivision providing public services within the City
including, but not limited to, school districts; and,
Staff finds that the proposed zoning amendment will not result in any adverse impact
upon delivery of services by any political subdivision providing services to this site, as
conditioned in the staff report.
5. The annexation is in the best of interest of the City (UDC 11-5B-3.E).
Staff fmds that all essential services will be provided by the developer to the subject
property and will not require unreasonable expenditure of public funds. The applicant is
proposing to develop the land in general compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan,
and this is a logical expansion of the City limits. In accordance with the findings listed
above, Staff finds that Annexation and Zoning of this property to R-8 would be in
the best interest ofthe City.
2. Preliminary Plat Findings:
In consideration of a preliminary plat, combined preliminary and final plat, or short plat,
the decision-making body shall make the following findings:
1. The plat is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan;
Staff finds that the proposed plat is in substantial compliance with the adopted
Comprehensive Plan. Staff supports the proposed density and proposed plat layout, withnrecommended changes, as they comply with the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan.
Exhibit D
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF JULY 20,2006
Please see Comprehensive Plan Policies and Goals, Section 8, of the Staff Report.
2. Public services are available or can be made available and are adequate to
accommodate the proposed development;
Staff finds that public services can be made available to accommodate the proposed
development. (See Exhibit B of the Staff Report for more details from public service
providers.)
3. The plat is in conformance with scheduled public improvements in accord with the
City's capital improvement program;
Because the developer is installing sewer, water, and utilities for the development at their
own cost, Staff finds that the subdivision will not require the expenditure of capital
improvement funds.
4. There is public financial capability of supporting services for the proposed
development;
Staff recommends the Commission and Council rely upon comments from the public
service providers (i.e., Police, Fire, ACHD, etc.) to determine this finding. (See Exhibit
B, Agency Comments and Conditions, for more detail.)
5. The development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or general
welfare; and
Staff is not aware of any health, safety, or environmental problems associated with the
development of this subdivision that should be brought to the Councilor Commission's
attention. ACHD considers road safety issues in their analysis. Staff recommends that
the Commission and Council reference any public testimony that may be presented to
determine whether or not the proposed subdivision may cause health, safety or
environmental problems of which staff is unaware.
6. The development preserves significant natural, scenic or historic features.
Staff is unaware of any natural, scenic, or historic features on this site. Therefore, Staff
finds that the proposed development will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of
any natural, scenic or historic feature(s) of major importance. Staff recommends that the
Commission and Council reference any public testimony that may be presented to
determine whether or not the proposed development may destroy or damage a natural or
scenic feature(s) of major importance of which staff is unaware.
