So, with that we will move on to Item 1, which is Resolution No. 25-2502, appointing Jimmy Smith to Seat Four of the Meridian Arts Commission. As always sat down with the new chair of the Arts Commission and did interviews of two well qualified candidates. They actually had a former commissioner want to come back from -- one of the original members of the Commission, but he and decided to go work on a separate project together and that was great, because it gets two great people involved in the arts in our community. So, Jimmy -- he -- he is familiar with the people there. He has actually been -- he's actually shown up at some of the recent Arts Commission meetings and someone who has really shown a dedication to getting involved in the arts in Meridian. Always interested in having someone whose livelihood is around the arts. You know, sign painting is not maybe your traditional art in a lot of ways, but it's -- it's definitely an artistic component and he is going to be working on some of the arts across Treasure Valley that CBH is coming out. So, definitely, you know, being part of it, but he has already shown a dedicated interest in arts in Meridian by his -- by showing up when he has the time and interest in getting involved. So, know he will be a great addition to the Arts Commission and happy to stand for any questions or move forward with a motion on the resolution. Strader: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council Woman Strader.

Lake Hazel Rd. A. Request: Time Extension for a two (2) year time extension on the preliminary plat and planned unit development (H-2020-0064), consisting of 157 buildable lots and 35 common lots on 26.34 acres of land in the R-8 and R-15 zoning districts with deviations to certain UDC standards, in order to obtain the City Engineer's signature on the first phase final plat and commence the use as permitted. Simison: With that we will move on to Item 2, which public hearing for Pura Vida Ranch Subdivision, TECC-2025-0001. We will open this public hearing with staff comments. Allen: Thank you, Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council. The first application before you tonight is a request for a time extension on the previously approved preliminary plat and planned unit development for Peda -- excuse me -- Pura Vida Ridge Ranch. This site consists of 26.34 acres of land. It's zoned R-8 and R-15. It's located on the south side of East Lake Hazel Road, approximately a quarter mile east of South Eagle Road at 3727 East Lake Hazel Road. This property was annexed back in 2021 and a preliminary plat was approved consisting of 157 building lots and 35 common lots with certain deviations from UDC standards under a planned unit development. In 2022 the director approved a two year time extension allowing until January 19th, 2025, to obtain the City Engineer's signature on the first phase final plat and commence the permitted use. No additional conditions were imposed with that extension. The applicant submitted a request for a two year time extension on the preliminary plat and planned unit development to obtain the City Engineer's signature on the first phase final plat and commence the permitted use. The request was submitted prior to the expiration date as required. With all extensions the City Council may require the planned unit development and/or preliminary plan to comply with the current provisions of the UDC. The reasons for delay in moving forward with this development are continued Meridian City Council February 25,2025 Page 4 of 10 coordination with ACHD on drainage issues, completion of the Lake Hazel Road bridge -- bridge improvements associated with the culvert for Ten Mile Creek where it passes under the road and floodplain development requirements. The subject time extension until January 19th, 2027, is requested to commence the use, complete the infrastructure improvements currently occurring in phase one and obtain the City Engineer's signature on the final plat. Staff has reviewed the updates to the UDC since the time this project was approved pertaining to open space and site amenities and found the project exceeds the updated standards. Staff is recommending a new condition as a provision of the time extension that requires the seven foot wide sidewalk planned within the street buffer along Lake Hazel to be widened to ten feet in width consistent with the current standards. There has been no written testimony on this application. The applicant is in agreement with the staff report. Staff is recommending approval. Staff will stand for any questions. The applicant is here to present tonight. Simison: Thank you. Council, any questions for staff? Cavener: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Cavener. Cavener: Real quick. Sonya, making sure -- this is the first time extension request? Allen: Mr. Mayor, Councilman Cavener, no, this is the second time extension. The first one was approved by the director for two years. Cavener: Thank you. Simison: All right. Would the applicant like to come forward? Good evening. Williams: Good evening. Thank you, Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council. Mike Williams. I'm with South, Beck and Baird. Our location is 2002 South Vista Avenue in Boise and I'm also a resident of the City of Meridian, so I do drive into Boise for work, unfortunately. Sonya mentioned that requirement of a ten foot sidewalk adjacent to Lake Hazel. I want to let the Council know that that ten foot sidewalk has already been installed. We are in agreement with all the conditions that have been placed. The question regarding if this is -- what number extension this is. As part of the first extension the infrastructure had not been started on this first final plat. The infrastructure on phase one is complete with the exception of the installation of asphalt and as all of you are aware they shut down asphalt typically about November due to temperature and we are anticipating that the batch plants will come back online in March, so we can get paved. The applicant is already working with the City of Meridian, as well as ACHD to go ahead and do a surety, so we can get that first final plat signed. With that I would stand for questions. Simison: Thank you. Council, any questions? Meridian City Council February 25,2025 Page 5 of 10 Allen: Mr. Mayor, may I clarify with the applicant one thing, please? Mr. Williams mentioned that a ten foot wide sidewalk has been constructed. I'm a little concerned about that, because they were showing seven feet on their plans before. Was it recently constructed after my staff report went out? Williams: And, Mr. Mayor, Sonya, yes, it has. Allen: Okay. Williams: When we talked about it -- and I know when we talked about the staff report I reached out to the applicant, because I was kind of freaked out myself -- Allen: Yeah. Williams: -- and they had already installed the ten foot sidewalk and the one thing that is sad about that installation is we are going to get to move it based on the fact of ACHD in their right of way -- something wasn't quite organized, so they are going to move a portion of that sidewalk based on what ACHD's requiring for their drainage, but we are going to construct that ten foot sidewalk. Allen: Okay. Thank you. I just wanted to clarify. I didn't want to have a condition requiring him to do one thing if they would construct it or otherwise, so -- thank you. Simison: Council, any additional questions or comments? I will just say I was actually surprised when I saw this on there, because I had driven by there and seen the work being done and so that's why I was like -- it was -- it was kind of like -- you know, you normally don't see work being done on one that you are doing a time extension on, so -- Williams: Mr. Mayor, I would agree. Before I retired from a certain city that's your neighbor after 19 years as being a planner, I was -- would have been as shocked as you, but, yes, they are close to completion. All we have to do is asphalt, a couple of retaining walls and they are actually changing a couple of the parking areas from asphalt over to concrete just based on -- they would rather do that and not have to worry about the maintenance in the future. Strader: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council Woman Strader. Strader: Any issues with the second condition of maintaining the vegetation on the hillside? It seems like a safety concern. Williams: Mr. Mayor, Council Woman Strader, great question. As part of the preliminary -- original preliminary plat approval we are required to provide a WUI safety plan, because there is definitely hillside on this and that will be incorporated into the CC&Rs where the homeowners will be responsible for maintaining that. I have had -- I want to Meridian City Council February 25,2025 Page 6 of 10 say two or three conversations with one of your fire department staff, so we can work through that as well to ensure that that's inserted and we get all their concerns addressed. Strader: Thank you. Simison: Okay. Don't go anywhere. Mr. Clerk, anyone signed up to provide testimony on this item? Johnson: Mr. Mayor, no. Simison: Is there anybody present that would like to provide testimony on this item? Anyone online use the raise your hand feature. Does the applicant waive any final comments? Williams: No, sir. Simison: No final comments for the applicant. Okay. All right. Thank you. Strader: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council Woman Strader. Cavener: This feels pretty straightforward to me. I'm happy to make a motion that we close the public hearing on Item 2. Cavener: Second. Simison: Have a motion and a second to close the public hearing. Is there any discussion? If not, all in favor signify by saying aye. Opposed nay? The ayes have it and the public hearing is closed. MOTION CARRIED: ALLAYES. Strader: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council Woman Strader. Strader: Considering all staff, applicant and public testimony, I move to approve File No. TECC-2025-0001 as presented in the staff report for today's date, noting specifically the requirement for the ten foot wide detached sidewalk in lieu of the seven foot sidewalk along East Lake Hazel Road and maintaining the vegetation on the hillside to the Fire Department's standards. Little Roberts: Second. Meridian City Council February 25,2025 Page 7 of 10 Simison: I have a motion and a second to approve item TECC- 2025-0001. Is there discussion on the motion? If not, Clerk call the roll. Roll Call: Cavener, yea; Strader, yea; Overton, yea; Little Roberts, yea; Taylor, yea; Whitlock, yea. Simison: All ayes. Motion carries and the item is agreed to.

Request: Short Plat to subdivide an existing parcel consisting of 1.15 acres of land into two (2) commercial lots for ownership purposes. Simison: Next up is Item 3, which is a public hearing for Chicken Bucket Subdivision, SHP-2025-0001. We will open this public hearing with staff comments and dipping sauce. Napoli: Good evening, Mr. Mayor and Members of the Council. The next item on the agenda is the short plat for Chicken Bucket Subdivision. The applicant requests to subdivide an existing commercial property into two commercial lots for ownership purposes. This site consists of 1.15 acres of land, zoned C-G, located at 667 South Main Street. The property currently consists of two commercial buildings situated on a single lot with no proposed changes to the current uses or tenants. The two -- the two proposed properties meet the dimensional standards for the C-G zoning district, except for the required 35 foot landscape buffer along Meridian Road and Main Street. However, since this is an existing development with no proposed changes beyond the subdivision, an alternative compliance application is not required at this time. Future redevelopment with the subject -- with -- future redevelopment of the property will be subject to UDC 11-313-2, which permits phased landscape improvements as cumulative expansions occur. The city will monitor any future redevelopment, including additions, new construction to ensure compliance with these requirements. The parking is in compliance with the UDC for both lots. However, staff is recommending a shared parking agreement to be entered into between the two lots. Access to this property is provided via South Main Street and South Meridian Road and the plat note states that there is a blanket cross-access easement between the lots. Staff is recommending approval with conditions and has received written testimony from the applicant asking for some clarification on staff conditions. Staff and the applicant have coordinated on these and are in agreement. And I will stand for questions. Meridian City Council February 25,2025 Page 8 of 10 Simison: Thank you, Nick. Council, any questions for staff? Okay. Is the applicant here and like to come forward? Good evening. State your name and address for the record. Smith: Trenton Smith. 3773 East Berwick Drive, Nampa, Idaho. I'm with Focus Engineering and Surveying representing our applicant today and we -- Mr. Mayor and Council, we appreciate you taking the time to -- to review our short plat application for Chicken Bucket Subdivision, the best name ever. We appreciate working with Nick. He has been great to work with and I don't have anything to add to the -- to what he has presented to the Council. I do want to -- to add, again, that we have reviewed all of the comments and conditions and the applicant is -- is willing to address those and address those appropriately as we have worked with Nick to -- to make sure that we -- we understand how to move forward appropriately. So, again, I don't have anything to add and I stand for questions. Simison: Thank you. Council, any questions for the applicant? Whitlock: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Whitlock. Whitlock: Mr. Mayor and Trent, just out of curiosity, why is the desire to split that for ownership purposes? It -- it's -- it's not a big lot. Smith: No, it's not a big lot and -- and I'm not fully in understanding of -- of the ownership, but I think a portion of it is planned to -- to acquire a new owner and so this is preparing that lot to -- to do so. Simison: Any additional questions? Okay. Mr. Clerk, anyone signed up to provide testimony? Johnson: Mr. Mayor, no one signed up. Simison: Is there anybody present or online would like to provide testimony on this item? Seeing no one coming forward, no one raising their hands, do you have any final comments? You are waiving final comments? Final comments are waived. Okay. Council, what's your pleasure? Cavener: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Cavener. Cavener: Don't see anybody rushing to grab a microphone, so I'm happy to get things going. Again, I think it's a pretty clear cut request. So, I'm going to move that we close the public hearing on Item 3. Meridian City Council February 25,2025 Page 9 of 10 Strader: Second.

Lake Hazel Rd., ¼ mile east of S. Eagle Rd. at 3727 E. Lake Hazel Rd. History: This property was annexed in 2021, and a preliminary plat was approved, consisting of 157 building lots and 35 common lots, with certain deviations from UDC standards under a planned unit development. In 2022, the Director approved a 2-year extension, allowing until January 19, 2025, to obtain the City Engineer’s signature on the first phase final plat and commence the permitted use. No additional conditions were imposed with the extension. Comprehensive Plan FLUM Designation: MHDR Summary of Request: The Applicant submitted a request for a 2-year time extension on the preliminary plat & planned unit development (H-2020-0064) to obtain the City Engineer’s signature on the first phase final plat and commence the permitted use. The request was submitted prior to the expiration date. With all extensions, the City Council may require the planned unit development and/or preliminary plat to comply with the current provisions of the UDC. The reasons for delay in moving forward with this development are continued coordination with ACHD on drainage issues, completion of the Lake Hazel Rd. bridge improvements associated with a culvert for Ten Mile Creek where it passes under the road, and floodplain development requirements. The subject time extension until January 19, 2027, is requested to commence the use, complete the infrastructure improvements currently occurring in Phase 1 and obtain the City Engineer’s signature on the final plat. Staff has reviewed the updates to the UDC since the time this project was approved pertaining to open space & site amenities and found the project exceeds the updated standards. Staff is recommending a new condition as a provision of the time extension that requires the 7’ wide sidewalk planned within the street buffer along Lake Hazel is widened to 10’ consistent with current standards. Written Testimony: None Staff Recommendation: Approval with the aforementioned condition.

Main Street. Comprehensive Plan FLUM Designation: Commercial Summary of Request: The applicant requests to subdivide an existing commercial property into two commercial lots for ownership purposes. The property currently consists of two (2) commercial buildings constructed in the early 2000s, which are situated on a single lot. The purpose of the subdivision is to separate these existing buildings for ownership purposes, with no proposed changes to the current uses or tenants. The two proposed properties meet the dimensional standards of the C-G zoning district, except for the required 35-foot landscape buffer along Meridian Road and Main Street. However, since this is an existing development with no proposed changes beyond the subdivision, an alternative compliance application is not required at this time. Future redevelopment will be subject to UDC 11-3B-2, which permits phased landscape improvements as cumulative expansions occur. The city will monitor any future redevelopment, including additions and new construction, to ensure compliance with these requirements. One space per 250 square feet of gross floor area is required for each building. The southern building is roughly 3,900 square feet which requires 16 parking stalls. The applicant has subdivided the property to incorporate 17 parking stalls exceeding the requirement. The northern building is roughly 3,700 square feet which requires 16 parking stalls. The applicant has provided 48 parking stalls exceeding the requirement. Staff is recommending that a shared parking agreement be entered into and plat note # 6 includes a shared parking agreement with the shared parking between Lots 1 and 2, Block 1. on Lot 2. Access to this property is provided via S. Main Street and S. Meridian Road.

III. STAFF ANALYSIS Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Code (UDC) A. General Overview The UDC states that approval of a planned unit development and preliminary plat shall become null and void if the applicant fails to commence the permitted use as set forth in UDC 11-513-6F and obtain the city engineer's signature on the final plat within two(2)years of the approval of the preliminary plat as set forth in UDC 11-6B-7C. If phased, each phase must be signed by the City Engineer within two (2)year successive intervals. The Applicant may request an extension of up to two(2)years if such request is filed before the termination period. With all extensions, the City Council may require the planned unit development and/or preliminary plat to comply with the current provisions of the UDC. The Director approved a 2-year time extension for the preliminary plat and planned unit development on December 15, 2022,which extended the original approval to January 19,2025. The reasons for delay in moving forward with this development cited at that time are as follows: continued coordination with ACHD on the drainage issues associated with the site; completion of bridge improvements associated with the culvert for Ten Mile Creek drain where it passes under Lake Hazel Road that are the responsibility of the developer of the property to the north(Orchard Creek);vertical construction isn't allowed until the bridge is constructed and floodplain development requirements are met; and the design of the roads for the subdivision is contingent upon the bridge construction and resulting changes in the floodplain and a lengthy approval process is anticipated with ACHD on the construction plans. A second 2-year time extension is requested to commence the use and complete the infrastructure improvements currently occurring in Phase 1. The extension would give the Applicant until January 19,2027 to commence the permitted use and obtain the City Engineer's signature on the final plat. Since the preliminary plat was approved,there have been some updates to the UDC regarding sidewalk widths along arterial streets and minimum open space and site amenity standards, as follows: • The minimum open space requirement changed from 10%,which required a minimuin of 2.63-acres to be provided,to 15%,which requires a minimum of 3.95-acres to be provided. The amount of open space that was approved(i.e. 4.9+-acres or 18.57%+) exceeds the current standard. City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff Analysis • The minimum site amenity requirement changed from one(1)qualified amenity to five (5)amenity points. The previously approved amenities [i.e. a 10'wide 1,631+/-foot long (1/3 mile) segment of the City's multi-use pathway system along the east boundary adjacent to the Ten Mile Creek; a 16' x 16' shelter with a picnic table on Lot 10,Block 3; an 8' x 12' arbor with 2 benches on Lot 1,Block 10; an arbor with 2 benches on Lot 8, Block 5; and a dirt trail and paved 5' wide pathway on the hillside on Lot 8, Block 5] meet and exceed the new standards at 5 pts. for the 1/3 mile of multi-use pathway,2 pts. for the picnic area on a site 5,000 s.f. or greater in size,2 pts. open space commons shelter(i.e. arbor with benches),and 2 pts. for trails/paths. • A 7-foot wide detached sidewalk was approved within the street buffer along E. Lake Hazel Rd. A 10-foot wide detached sidewalk is currently required. As a conditions of the subject time extension,Staff recommends a 10-foot wide detached sidewalk is provided in lieu of a 7-foot wide sidewalk along E.Lake Hazel Rd.; and vegetation on the hillside is maintained regularly to prevent a fire hazard.

History and Process The preliminary plat and planned unit development(PUD) (H-2020-0064)was approved by City Council on January 19,2021.An administrative time extension(TED-2022-0009)for two(2) years was approved by the Director on December 15,2022,which extended the PUD and preliminary plat to January 19,2025.No new conditions were added as a provision of the time extension. A final plat(FP-2021-0043)has been approved for the first phase of development but has not yet received City Engineer signature; a modification to the final plat was approved(MFP- 2022-0001). The subject time extension application was submitted prior to the expiration date. IV. CITY/AGENCY COMMENTS & CONDITIONS A. Meridian Planning Division 1.

City of Meridian I Department Report II. Community Metrics III. STAFF ANALYSIS Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Code(UDC) A. General Overview/History The proposed short plat aims to subdivide the 1.15-acre subject property, located within the C-G zone,into two(2)commercial lots. The property currently consists of two(2) commercial buildings constructed in the early 2000s,which are situated on a single lot. The purpose of the subdivision is to separate these existing buildings for ownership purposes,with no proposed changes to the current uses or tenants. Table 4: Proiect Overview Description Details History CZC-01-032 Acreage 1.15 acres Lots 2 Commercial Lots B. Site Development and Use Analysis 1. Existing Structures/Site Improvements (UDC 11-1): There is two(2) existing commercial buildings on the property that are proposed to remain. 2. Dimensional Standards (UDC 11-2): The two proposed properties meet the dimensional standards of the C-G zoning district, except for the required 35-foot landscape buffer along Meridian Road and Main Street. However, since this is an existing development with no proposed changes beyond the subdivision, an alternative compliance application is not required at this time. Future redevelopment will be subject to UDC 11-313-2,which permits phased landscape improvements as cumulative expansions occur. The city will monitor any future redevelopment,including additions and new construction,to ensure compliance with these requirements. C. Design Standards Analysis 1. Landscaping (UDC 11-3B): i. Landscape buffers along streets A 35-foot wide street buffer is required adjacent to S. Main Street and S. Meridian Road, arterial streets and designated as entryway corridors. This buffer should be landscaped per the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7C. The existing site is nonconforming with this standard due to a mix of road widening projects and code changes since the original entitlement of the property. Due to the existing nature of the site and no proposed changes beyond the subdivision, staff recommends an alterative compliance application not be required until future redevelopment. UDC 11-3B-2 allows for phased landscape improvements as cumulative expansions occur. Staff will monitor these thresholds and ensure compliance with the UDC.Additionally, the maintenance of the landscaping along the frontage of each lot should state the responsible party for the maintenance of these improvements in accord with UDC 11-3B-7C2.a and 11-3B-13. ii. Tree preservation City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff Analysis A Tree Mitigation Plan should be submitted with the final plat signature application detailing all existing trees and methods of mitigation outlined by the City Arborist before any trees are to be removed as set forth in UDC 11-3B-1OC.5. No trees are proposed to be removed with this application. However, any future changes to the landscaping will require tree mitigation. 2. Parking (UDC 11-3C): i. Residential parking analysis Off-street parking is required to be provided in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11- 3C-5. One space per 250 square feet of gross floor area is required for each building. The southern building is roughly 3,900 square feet which requires 16 parking stalls. The applicant has subdivided the property to incorporate 17 parking stalls exceeding the requirement. The northern building is roughly 3,700 square feet which requires 16 parking stalls. The applicant has provided 48 parking stalls exceeding the requirement. Staff recommends plat note# 6 include a shared parking agreement between Lots I and 2, Block 1. Transportation Analysis 3. Access (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-3, UDC 11-3H-4): Access to this property is provided via S. Main Street and S.Meridian Road. The plat notes state there is a blanket cross-access easement between Lot 1 and Lot 2,Block 1 to allow for access to both sites on either drive aisle. Since this is a blanket easement,it is not depicted on the plat. D. Services Analysis 1. Pressurized Irrigation(UDC 11-3A-15): Underground pressurized irrigation water is required to be provided to each lot within the subdivision as set forth in UDC 11-3A-15. 2. Storm Drainage (UDC 11-3A-18): An adequate storm drainage system is required in all developments in accord with the City's adopted standards, specifications and ordinances. Design and construction shall follow best management practice as adopted by the City as set forth in UDC 11-3A-18. 3. Utilities (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-21): Connection to City water and sewer services is required and are available to be extended by the developer with development in accord with UDC 11-3A-21 and Goals 3.03.03G& 3.03.03F.Urban sewer and water infrastructure and curb, gutter, and sidewalks are required to be provided with development of the subdivision. III. CITY/AGENCY COMMENTS & CONDITIONS A. Meridian Planning Division 1. If the City Engineer's signature has not been obtained within two(2)years of the City Council's approval of the short plat,the short plat shall become null and void unless a time extension is obtained,per UDC 11-6B-7. 2. The short plat and landscape plan prepared by Evan J. Wood, on 11/26/2024, included in Section VI.A, shall be revised as follows: - Graphically depict the landscape buffer easements along S. Meridian Road and S. Main Street and reference the instrument number for the ACHD license agreement for the landscaping within the right of way in accordance with UDC 11-3B-7C.2a. City of Meridian I Department Report III. City/Agency Comments &Conditions - Include a note to reference the ownership and maintenance of the landscaping outside of the right of way for Lots 1 and 2,Block 1. Modify note#3 to include Lot 2,Block 1 into the cross-access agreement(2024- 074215) or amend the agreement to include Lot 2, Block 1. - Modify note#6 to include a blanket shared parking agreement between Lot 1 and Lot 2,Block 1. - Remove plat note#8. This would be better achieved outside of the plat as a separate deed restriction. Add a plat note stating direct access to S. Meridian Road and S. Main Street is prohibited. - Add a plat note stating all lots are subject to private blanket easements for irrigation and drainage to the benefit of all lots. 3. Future development shall comply with the dimensional standards listed in UDC Table I1- 2B-3 for the C-G zoning district. 4. Staff's failure to cite specific ordinance provisions or conditions from the previous approvals noted above does not relieve the Applicant of responsibility for compliance. B. Ada County Highway District(ACHD) IV. FINDINGS A. Short Plat In consideration of a preliminary plat,combined preliminary and final plat,or short plat,the decision-making body shall make the following findings: I. The plat is in conformance with the comprehensive plan and is consistent with this unified development code; The Comprehensive Plan designates the future land use of this property as Commercial, the current zoning district of the site is C-G. Staff finds the proposed short plat complies with the short plat standards listed in UDC 11-6B-5. The proposed development does not comply with the dimensional standards of the C-G zoning district listed in UDC Table 11-2A-5 as the sites do not have the 35 foot landscape buffer required. Due to the existing nature of the development with no proposed changes beyond the subdivision, an alternative compliance application is not required at this time. Future redevelopment will be subject to UDC 11-3B- 2, which permits phased landscape improvements as cumulative expansions occur. The city will monitor any future redevelopment, including additions and new construction, to ensure compliance with these requirements. 2. Public services are available or can be made available and are adequate to accommodate the proposed development; Staff finds that public services will be provided and are adequate to serve the proposed lots. 3. The plat is in conformance with scheduled public improvements in accord with the city's capital improvement program; Stafffinds all required utilities will be provided with lot development at the developer's expense. City of Meridian I Department Report IV. Findings 4. There is public financial capability of supporting services for the proposed development; Staff finds that the development will not require major expenditures for providing supporting services as services are already being provided in this area. 5. The development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or general welfare; and Stafffinds the proposed development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or general welfare. 6. The development preserves significant natural, scenic or historic features. Staff is not aware of any significant natural, scenic or historic features associated with short platting the structure on this site. IV. ACTION A. Staff: Staff recommends approval of the proposed short plat with the conditions noted in Section VII of this report and in accord with the Findings in Section VIII. B. City Council: Action Pending.
