d. History of Previous Actions:
The subject applications, AZ-06-045 and PP-06-047, were scheduled to be heard before the
Planning and Zoning Commission on October 19, 2006. Prior to said meeting, the Applicant
and Staff were made aware that ACHD refused to grant direct access to the site from Locust
Grove. This ultimately prompted a substantial redesign preliminary plat.
The new plan proposes two additional lots for a total of 24 building lots, and eliminates
subdivision access to Locust Grove Road. This warranted re-noticing the neighboring property
owners of the changes and publishing the new notice in the media. Staff believes the revised
preliminary plat is more compatible with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan
and the Unified Development Code.

7. COMMENTS MEETING
On December 1, 2006, Planning Staff held an agency comments meeting. The agencies and departments
present include: Meridian Fire Department, Meridian Police Department, Meridian Parks Department,
Meridian Public Works Department, and the Sanitary Services Company. Staff has 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 "Low Density Residential" on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map.
Low density residential areas are anticipated to contain single family residences at densities up to three
dwelling units per acre. (See Page 95 of the Comprehensive Plan) The proposed Preliminary Plat
includes 24 residential building lots on 7.56 acres for a gross density of 3.18 dwelling units/acre. The
gross density exceeds the range outlined in the Comprehensive Plan. The following Comprehensive Plan
policies apply to this application:
. Chapter VII, Goal III, Objective A, Action I - 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 services 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.
. 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).
Eastwood Subdivision: AZ~06-045, PP-06-047
PAGE 4
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF DECEMBER 21, 2006
· 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 VI, Goal II, Objective A, Action 3 - Consider "Accommodating Bicycle and Pedestrian
Travel: A Recommended Approach" from the National Center for Bicycling and Walking in all
land-use decisions.
This publication encourages jurisdictions to establish bikeway and walkway facilities in new
construction and reconstruction projects, in a manner that is safe, accessible and convenient.
Staff believes that the subject applications comply with the policies listed in the literature noted
above.
· Chapter VI, Goal II, Objective A, Action 5 - Require pedestrian access connectors in all new
development to link subdivisions together to promote neighborhood connectivity as part of a
community pathway system.
Staff is supportive of the proposed pedestrian connections to Reflection Ridge Subdivision via the
proposed sidewalks and stub street.
. Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective C, Action 1 - Protect existing residential properties from
incompatible land use development on adjacent parcels.
Staff finds that the residential development to the north is compatible with the proposed
subdivision. To the east and south are existing single-family dwellings sited on one-acre lots
within Ada County. Staff believes Eastwood transitions well with these lots to the east.
However, Staff believes that the lot sizes proposed along the southern boundary should be
increased. Although attached single-family and detached single-family dwellings are compatible
land uses, Staff does not consider locating four 8,000 square-foot lots adjacent to a one-acre lot
an appropriate transition. A neighbor has voiced concern over this issue, as well.
. Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective C, Action 10 - Support a variety of residential categories (low-,
mediwn-, and high-density single family, multi-family, townhouses, duplexes, apartments,
condominiwns, etc.) for the purpose of providing the City with a range of affordable housing
opportunities.
The subject application includes a request for the R-4 zone. The subject property is located
adjacent to lands zoned R-4. Staff finds that the requested zoning designation is consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan designationfor this site.

CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF DECEMBER 21, 2006
· Chapter VI, Goal II, Objective A, Action 6 - Require street connections between subdivisions at
regular intervals to enhance connectivity and better traffic flow.
One street connection is proposed to connect with the Reflection Ridge Subdivision to the north.
Staff finds that the zoning proposal is generally harmonious with the surrounding area and with the
Future Land Use Map designation for this site and generally meets the goals and policies of the
Comprehensive Plan. Staff recommends that the Commission and Council rely on any verbal or written
testimony that may be provided at the public hearing when determining if the applicant's zoning and
development request is appropriate for this property.
9. ZONING ORDINANCE
a. Zoning Schedule of Use Control: UDC ll-2A-2 lists single-family developments as a Pennitted
Use in the RA zone.
b. Purpose Statement of Zone: The purpose of the 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 ANALYSIS:
Based on the policies and goals contained in the Comprehensive Plan and the general compliance
of the proposed development with the Unified Development Code, Staff believes that this is a
good location for the proposed single-family development. Please see Exhibit D for detailed
analysis of the required facts and findings for annexation.
The annexation legal description submitted with the application, prepared by The Idaho Survey
Group on August 14,2006, shows the property as contiguous to the existing corporate boundary
of the City of Meridian.
All future uses on this property should not involve uses, actiVities, processes, materials,
equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property or the
general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors,
and should be constructed in accordance with City of Meridian ordinances in effect at the time of
development.
Special Considerations:
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. As there are no
issues regarding annexation of the subject property which necessitate a Development
Agreement, Staff believes that a DA is not required in this instance. All applicable
conditions regarding the development of this property are contained in the preliminary
plat approval.
PRELIMINARY PLAT ANALYSIS:
Eastwood Subdivision: AZ-06-045, PP-06-047
PAGE 6
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF DECEMBER 21,2006
Based on the policies and goals contained in the Comprehensive Plan and the general compliance
of the proposed development with the Unified Development Code, staff believes that this is a
good location for the proposed single-family residential products. Please see Exhibit D for
detailed analysis of facts and findings for a preliminary plat.
1. Access: The Reflection Ridge Subdivision, just north of the Eastwood Subdivision, has been
granted road access to Locust Grove Road at the Y-I-mile mark. West Wrightwood Drive, a
public street provided by the Reflection Ridge Subdivision, runs approximately parallel to
Eastwood's north property line. South Carina Avenue, a local public street within Eastwood,
intersects W. Wrightwood and will serve as the sole access to the proposed subdivision. The
access to Locust Grove Road for the existing house that is to remain, should be abandoned as
proposed. Direct lot access to Locust Grove Road should be prohibited.
2. Internal Streets: Internal streets sections are proposed to be 36-feet wide with 5-foot wide
attached sidewalks for a total of 50 feet of right-of-way.
3. Density: This property is designated "Low Density Residential" on the Comprehensive Plan
Future Land Use Map. Low density residential areas are anticipated to contain single family
dwellings at densities up to three dwelling units per acre. The proposed Preliminary Plat
includes 24 residential building lots on 7.56 acres for a gross density of 3.18 dwelling
units/acre. The gross density exceeds the range outlined in the Comprehensive Plan. The
Applicant has not proposed a "step up" to medium density for the site, nor would Staff be
supportive of said "step."
In order for the project to better comply with the density policies outlined in the
Comprehensive Plan, Staff is supportive of eliminating one building lot at the south property
line. This reduction in the number of lots, from 24 to 23, would not only address Staffs
concerns over transitioning of lot sizes in that area, but would lower the gross density of the
project from 3.18 dwelling units/acre to 3.05 dwelling units/acre.
4. Landscaping: The Applicant has provided 0.636 acres (8.4%) of landscaping on site,
including the required street buffer along Locust Grove Road. The standards for open space
apply to single-family developments of five acres or more. As the subject property totals 7.56
acres, the Applicant has set aside 0.389 acres (5.15%) for usable open space, including a
centrally located common area, meeting the 5% minimum required by UDC 11-3G- 3A-l. All
common areas approved as open space shall be vegetated and usable by residents.
Maintenance of all common areas shall be the responsibility of the Eastwood Homeowners
Association.
5. 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 fmal 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.
6. Fencing: Excepting where fencing currently exists along the western boundary, perimeter
fencing is not shown on the submitted landscape plan or preliminary plat. At the public
hearing, the applicant should state whether or not permanent fencing is proposed
Eastwood Subdivision: AZ-06-045, PP-06-047
PAGE 7
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF DECEMBER 2],2006
around the development. The Applicant should submit a detailed fencing plan with the fmal
plat application for the subdivision. If permanent fencing is not provided, temporary
construction fencing to contain debris must be installed around the perimeter prior to issuance
of a building pennit. All perimeter fencing must be completed prior to issuance of building
pennits. Fencing should taper down to a 3 foot maximum within 20 feet of all rights-of-way.
Fencing adjacent to the drainage swale access is also required. Said fencing can be up to six
feet in height, if open vision. If closed vision is used, it cannot exceed four feet in height. All
fencing shall be installed in accordance with UDC 11-3A-7.
7. Ditches, Laterals, and Canals: As per UDC 11-3A-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.
8. Tree Mitigation: Any existing, on-site tree over 4" in caliper that is removed from the
property shall be replaced by installing additional trees, being the equivalent number of
caliper inches of those removed. Required landscaping trees will not be considered as
replacement trees for those that are removed. The applicant should coordinate a mitigation
plan with Elroy Huff at the Meridian Parks Department.
9. Existing Structures: The site currently contains multiple buildings. All existing structures
that are to remain, shall comply with the dimensional standards (setbacks, house size, etc.) of
the R-4 zone. Prior to signature of the fmal plat, all structures that do not meet the
dimensional standards should be removed.
b. Staff Recommendation: Based on the above analysis, staff finds that applications AZ-06-045 and
PP-06-047 substantially conform to the Comprehensive Plan policies and UDC standards. Staff
recommends approval of said AZ and PP applications subject to the conditions listed in

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 the subject property R-4 (Medium Low-Density Residential).
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 residences are allowed within the requested zoning district of R-4 as
a Principally Pennitted Use. The accompanying plat demonstrates the land will be developed with
varying lot sizes and other dimensional requirements which conform to the proposed zoning
designation.
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. However, Staff recommends that the Commission and Council rely on any oral
or written testimony that may be provided when detennining 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 finds 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 compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan and this is a logical expansion of the
City limits. Staff finds that Annexation and Zoning of this property is in the best interest of
the 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 application is generally compatible with the adopted Comprehensive
Plan. Staff generally supports the proposed plat layout, with recommended changes, as they
comply with the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan. 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;
Exhibit D
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF JULY 20,2006
Staff finds that public services can be made available to accommodate the proposed development.
(See finding Items 3 and 4 above under Annexation Findings for more details.)
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 fmding. (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.

on 8.74 acres in a proposed C-G zone for Creamline Park Subdivision
by Creamline Associates, LLC - 1200 W. Franklin Road:
Rohm: Okay. At this time I'd like to open AZ 06-048 and PP 06-040, both items related
to Creamline Park Subdivision and begin with the staff report.
Hood: Thank you, Mr. Chair, Members of the Commission. I am pinch hitting tonight for
Justin Lucas. He is in Denver right now at the ULI conference, so I will be presenting
his staff report on Creamline Park Subdivision. The project consists of annexation and
zoning to C-G and I-L. There are 8.74 acres on the south side of the development that
are proposed for the C-G zoning designation and 24.01 acres proposed for the I-L, light
industrial zoning classification. All of this property is currently zoned RUT in Ada
County. The site is located on the north side of Franklin Road near the northeast corner
of Franklin and Linder Roads, approximately 350 feet east of Linder. Highlighted there
in the teal. Adjacent land uses and zoning. North is a retirement community and future
multi-family development, zoned L-O. East is a lumber storage, 84 Lumber, and vacant
land down along Franklin Road. And I think they have some -- there is some storage of
trailers I think out there, too. To the south is Franklin Road. Directly to the south. And,
then, Crestwood Estates Subdivision, a residential subdivision, is directly across
Franklin Road from this site. To the west are single family homes and some home
occupations. Those are zoned R-1 in Ada County. There is also a day care zoned L-Q
and some of the properties are vacant or underdeveloped. The one right on the corner
is zoned C-C, on the northeast corner of Franklin and Linder, zoned C-C. There is the
day care -- I guess I better point some of these out. We will probably talk about this a
little bit more. There is a day care that was approved maybe three, four years ago,
something like that, right by the railroad tracks. A lot of these homes -- folks have some
signs up -- I think someone makes like wooden chairs and kind of low impact home
occupations, if you will. I have never really seen them be too intensive of uses. They

2 Eastwood Subdivision
B. Findinas for Consideration
1. Arterials -Locust Grove
District Right-of-Way Policy:
District policy requires 96-feet ot right-of-way on arterial roadways (Figure 72-F1 B). This right-ot-
way allows for the construction of a 5-lane roadway with curb, gutter, 5-foot concrete detached
sidewalks and bike lanes.
District policy 72-F1 B requires collector and arterial roadways to be constructed as 46-foot street
sections with vertical curb, gutter, and 5-foot detached (or 7-foot attached) concrete sidewalks
within 70-feet of right-of-way. This street section allows for the construction of a 3-lane roadway
with bike lanes.
District Offset Policy:
District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 300-teet from an
arterial roadway (measured centerline to centerline).
District Sidewalk Policy:
District policy requires 7-foot wide attached (or 5-foot detached) concrete sidewalk on all collector
roadways and arterial roadways (7204.7.2).
District Successive Driveway Policy:
District policy 72-F5, requires driveways located on collector or arterial roadways with a speed limit
of 50 to align or offset a minimum of 255-feet from any existing or proposed driveway.
Applicant Proposal:
The applicant has proposed to dedicate 23-feet of right-ot-way to total 48-teet from centerline of
Locust Grove Road.
The applicant has proposed to construct a 5-foot attached concrete sidewalk 41-feet from the
centerline of Locust Grove Road (measured face of walk to centerline).
The applicant has proposed a local roadway (East Estancia Street) intersecting Locust Grove Road
approximately 250-feet north of the southeast property line (measured centerline to property line)
which offsets East Pitkin Avenue by approximately 420-feet (measured centerline to centerline).
. Another roadway proposed with the Bellingham Park Subdivision (West Wrightwood Drive)
has been proposed to the north and the approved location would offset the proposed entry
road to the subject site by approximately 280-feet.
. Another roadway proposed with the Estancia Subdivision (East Pitkin Avenue) has been
proposed to the south and the approved location would offset the proposed entry road to the
subject site by approximately 420-feet and align with the existing East Pitkin Avenue.
Staff Comment/Recommendation:
This portion of Locust Grove will develop to be a 3-lane arterial roadway within 70-feet of right-ot-
way. 25-feet of right-of-way currently exist, so the applicant may do one of the following:
1. Do not dedicate right-of-way and construct a 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk not
closer than 28-teet from the centerline of Locust Grove Road and provide an
easement tor the sidewalk.
2. Dedicate 10-feet ot additional right-of-way and construct a 5-foot wide concrete
sidewalk not closer than 28-feet from the centerline of Locust Grove Road.
The District will buy the additional right-ot-way from the applicant. 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.
3
Eastwood Subdivision
ACHD staff is not supportive of the local roadway intersecting Locust Grove Road. There are two
Residential Collector roadways 280-feet north of the proposed entry road into the subject site. The
two developments will generate approximately 4,087 VTD (Bellingham Park at 1,608 and Reflection
Ridge at 2479, respectively). Only 700-feet separate the intersection of the two collectors and the
intersection of the two local streets, East Pitkin Avenues, to the south. This site has access to a
residential collector and the language in the Reflection Ridge subdivision identifies that the stub
would service the southern parcel. Access to Locust Grove Road is not approved with this
application. The applicant is directed to take principal access through the residential collector, West
Wrightwood Drive, within the Reflection Ridge Subdivision to the north.
2. Internal Public Roadways
District Street Section and Right-of-Way Policy:
District policy 7204.4.2 states, "developments with any buildable lot that is less that 1-acre in size
will typically provide streets having a minimum pavement width of 32-feet with curb, gutter and
sidewalks. The total street width shall be 36-feet from back-of-curb to back-of-curb. Variations of
this width may be allowed, depending on traffic volumes forecast to be generated by the
development. Concrete sidewalks shall be a minimum of 5-feet in width unless they are separated
from the curb 5-feet or more in which case the sidewalk shall be a minimum of 4-feet in width.
District Offset Policy:
District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 125-feet from
another local roadway (measured centerline to centerline).
District Knuckle Policy:
District policy District policy 7202.7 and 7207.5 and the local Fire District standards require an
island within a knuckle to be constructed with the island being a minimum of 4-feet wide with a
minimum area of 100-square feet and designed to safely channel traffic. The roadway around the
traffic island should maintain a minimum of a 29-foot street section. The design should be reviewed
and approved by ACHD's Development staff.
Applicant Proposal:
The applicant has proposed the internal roadways as a 36-foot street section within 50-feet of right-
of-way complete with curb, gutter and a 5-foot attached concrete sidewalk. No two roadways are
proposed within 125-feet of one another (measured centerline to centerline). The applicant has
proposed the construction of two knuckles on South Dazzle Way.
Staff Comment/Recommendation:
The applicant's proposal for the internal street sections and design elements are approved with this
application as proposed.
3. Stub Streets
District Stub Street Policy:
District policy 7203.5.1 states that the street design in a proposed development shall cause no
undue hardship to adjoining property. An adequate and convenient access to adjoining property for
use in future development may be required. If a street ends at the development boundary, it shall
meet the requirements of sub section 7205, "non-continuous streets." District policy 7205.5 states
that stub streets will be required to provide intra-neighborhood circulation or to provide access to
adjoining properties. Stub streets will conform with the requirements described in Section 7204.5,
7204.6 and 7204.7, except a temporary cul-de-sac will not be required if the stub street has a length
no greater than 150-feet. A sign shall be installed at the terminus of the stub street stating that,
"THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE".
4 Eastwood Subdivision
Applicant Proposal:
The applicant proposes to extend a stub street from the north into the subject site, North Orion
Avenue, located approximately 235-teet west of the centerline of Locust Grove Road (measured
centerline to centerline). This stub street shall align with and connect to another stub street within
Reflection Ridge Subdivision to the north of this site.
Staff Comment/Recommendation:
District Staff locates the position ot the northerly stub street to be approximately 235-feet west of
Locust Grove Road (measured centerline to centerline) and District staff requires actual alignment
of the two roadways. The applicant is directed to work with the northern development for the exact
location of the two roadways.
4. District Tree Planters
District's Tree Planter Width Policy prohibits all trees in planters less than 6-feet in width. In
addition to prohibiting trees in planters less than 6-feet in width, the policy requires a minimum
planter width of 6-feet for class II tress with the installation ot root barriers on both sides of the
planter strip or a minimum planter width of 8-feet without the installation ot a root barrier. The policy
also requires Class I and Class III trees to provide a minimum planter width of 10-feet.
Applicant Proposal:
The applicant has not specifically identified trees on the Preliminary Plat application or site plan.
Staff Comment/Recommendation:
Staff understands that the use of trees may be determined at a later time. The applicant is being
provided the current policy in effect at this time and is directed to work with Development Review
Staff in regard to potentially planting trees in the public right-ot-way.
5. Other Access

Meridian, ID 83642
Commission Members:
RE: EASTWOOD SUBDIVISION
until now the entire area adjoininq our subdivision, East Slope, has
been totally undeveloped fields which created a special uniqueness
with qualities seldom found in homesites today. Two of these qualities
are a minimum of noise and prestine views of the foothills and
mountains.
Other local developments in the area have been approved for a higher
density of homes but they do not have such a direct impact on our
sub as the proposed Eastwood Subdivision.
Our sub consists of only two streets, Pitkin and Ramona, in an L shape
with lot sizes of one acre or more. Eastwood fills in the L thus
creating lots directly behind many of the existing homes. Our personal
lot is immensely affected negatively by the current proposaif f~i~ we
would have three plus lots directly against our backyard. Most
subdivisions are designed with a one to one ratio of backyards against
each other - not three plus. This density will bring more noise
created by traffic, music, lawnmowers - daily living. Instead of
tranquility and a view we will have only excess noise and totally
lose our view.
Even though Mr. Edmonds has increased some of the lot sizes to meet
minimum requirements, we sincerely appeal to members of this
Commission to increase the size of the lots directly in back of us
to a minimum of half an acre in size so we can still maintain some
of the amenities of our homesite.
We also request that the Commission mandate that only single level
homes can be built on these parcels.
Respectfully submitted,
Jim & Pat Sturgis

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 ofthe Eastwood Subdivision will have a significant impact on school
enrollments at Mary McPherson Elementary. Lake Hazel Middle and Mountain View
High School.
We can predict that these homes, when completed, will house seven (7) elementary aged
children, six (6) 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
--stl:1dents~te_etrWf'_sehool:)'CleroSb____fue_di_stricr.-- ----- ._-- - - m - -~----
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.

Ok -- Keeping this on the agenda, I would suggest opening the PH and continue to Dec 21st
for renoticing (with new lot #'s) & new transmittals. This avoids the denial & findings
issues. .... allows time for comments. I would suggest new plats be in by the first week
of November, sound reasonable?

Subject: RE: Eastwood Subdivision
Please keep this on the agenda. Our recommendation (Amanda please compose a memo for the
Commission) will be to re-notice this project with the revised information (new # of lots)
and to require the applicant to get revised plans to us by a date certain and pay the new
notice fee. We will need 30 copies of the revised plat and 10 copies of the new LS Plan
before it gets transmitted. The applicant will have to amend the application itself, pay
the difference in adding lots, and so on. Maybe the Commission will not vote to continue
it, but possibly deny it and require a full re-submittal (unlikely but possible). NOTE: It
looks like December 21st is the first available hearing. We would need to have the revised
plans, fees, application, submittal letter submitted to us within a few weeks of today to
have this project heard on the 21st.

Eliminating an access -- it is a significant enough change to require re-noticing? We
would have to send out new transmittals, correct?
Will it be totally removed from the agenda or just continued to allow comments on revised

plat?

Due to changes requested by ACHD, we are redesigning our project to eliminate the access
onto Locust Grove Road. We will be submitting a check in the amount of $142 for re-
notification fees. Please defer the public hearings for Eastwood Subdivision and renotice
as necessary. Please let me know what the new date will be.
If you have any questions, please call. Thanks!
