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 pwpost:(} 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 on February 21,2006,
by Charles Hardes, PLS) shows the property as contiguous to the existing corporate boundary of
the City of Meridian.

. All future development of the subject property shall be constructed in accordance with City
of Meridian ordinances in effect at the time of development. All future uses shall 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 uf traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors.
. Access to Chin den Boulevard shall be prohibited for this site. The applicant shall be required
to dedicate the right-of.way, construct landscaping, a pathway, and noise mitigation along
Chinden Boulevard, as required by ITD and the City of Meridian.
. Provide a utilitv easement to the Janicek nronertv to the northeast: make additionallandscane
imorovements to the west side of Ramblin Court and enlt:r into a license al!feement for said
imnrovements with ACHD: and that a more fonnal entrY be made at the entrance to this
develonment.
PRELIMINARY PLAT 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
residential products. Please see Exhibit D for detailed analysis of facts and findings for a
preliminary plat.
1. Access: Chinden Boulevard is a state highway. UDC 11-3H.4B prohibits access to state
highways at locations other than at section line roads, or at the Yz mile between sections.
The existing access to Chinden Boulevard should be abandoned. Further, a note should
be placed on the face of the plat prohibiting direct lot access to Chinden Boulevard. The
applicant should be required to construct noise abatement in compliance with UDC 11 w
3H-4D and lID's design requirements adjacent to the residential uses. The applicant
should dedicate right-of-way, in accordance with ITD's requirements, to allow for futun;:
highway expansion (lOO-feet from centerline proposed). The applicant should construct a
lO-foot wide pathway along Chinden Boulevard (not currently shown on the plans)(see
UDC 11-3H-4C3).
Ramblin Court, a public street, is proposed as the sole access to serve the 145 proposed
homes within the subdivision. In addition, stub streets are proposed to the recently
approved Keego Springs Subdivision to the south and Bainbridge Subdivision to the east.
Once the subdivisions to the south and east develop, alternative accesses onto Chinden
Boulevard, Black Cat Road, and Ten Mile Road will be provided to the residents in this
area. However, until secondary access can be provided to tbis site, the Meridian Fire
Department is limiting residential construction to SO homes, See Exhibit B for all
comments and conditions from the Fire Department.
All of the interna1 streets, except for the private streets and Tamarak Street (southeast
comer of the development), are proposed with a 33-foot street sections and 5-foot wide
attached sidewalks. Portions of. Tamarak Street are proposed as 29-feet wide (measured
back-of.curb to back--of-curb) within a 42.foot wide right-of-way.
2. Schwitzer Avenue: During the pre-application meetings with the applicant, staff directed
the applicant to construct the main entrance into the development, Schwitzer Avenue,
along the west property line. After ACHD acquires right-of-way for Black Cat Road (48-
Trilogy Subdivision AZ-06-032, PP.Q6-032
PAGE 8
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF NOVEMBER 8, 2006
feet from centerline), and the owner of Parcel #R733016001O constructs a street buffer
(35-feet wide), there will only be about 145 feet of remaining depth for the parcel, which
is apProximately 3 acres in size. This remainder depth is not sufficient to develop a street
with lots on both sides. Therefore, it is eritical for the redevelopment of Parcel
#R7330160010 that Sehwitzer Avenue be constructed., from Ramblin Court to
Lookout Pass Street, along the western boundary of the subject site, as proposed
with the revised preliminary plat.
3. Private Streets: Four private streets are proposed within this development. The proposed
private streets will serve as access to the lots within Block 6 and 7. The applicant has
submitted a Private Street application as required by UDC ll-3F-3. The applicant shall
design and construct the private streets in compliance with the standards listed fur Private
Streets in tIDC 11-3F, Private Streets. The applicant is proposing to construct a 24~foot
wide improved area for the private streets (22 feet of paving and 1 foot of ribbon curb on
each side.) Staff is supportive of the proposed private streets. (please see the required
private street findings in Exhibit D.)
The proposed private streets are bisected by a nortlHouth alley. The proposed alley is 16~
feet wide. The ACIID has stated that they do not want to accept or maintain this proposed
alley. If the alley is indeed private, then it should be constructed in accordance with tIDe
6C-3B5. No on~street parking shall be allowed along the two private streets, Brighton and
Snow Basin, but may be allowed off of the alley. Vehides shall be parked in garages,
driveways, in the parking lots off of the alley, or along public roads within the
subdivision. The private roads shall be signed as "No Parking" per the Meridian Fire
Department's comments.
4. Common Drivewavs: Three common driveways and several shared driveways, which
are not shown on the plat, are proposed within this development. The UDC allows R~8
7.oned lots sharing a eommon driveway, or that are access from an alley/privlit~ street, to
be a minimum of 4,000 square feet. There are 38 lots that must be paired, sharing a
driveway. Further, Lots 13~15, Block 3; Lots 6-9, Block 9; and, Lots 29-32, Block 1,
shall take access from connnon driveways. UDC 11-6C~3D7 requires setbacks, building
envelopes, and orientation of the lots and structures to be shown on the plat; building
setbacks should be measured from the edge of th~ CODlUlun driveway easement or
property lines, whichever is more restrictive. Further, UDC 11-3C-6 requires every
single-family dwelling to have a two-car garage and a 20' x 20' parking pad on the lot.
The asphalt/concrete for the common driveway should not count towards the required
parking pad area. Comply with all common driveway provisions listed in UDC 11-6C-
3D.
NOTE: There are five lots that are adjacent to the common driveway in Block 9.
The UDe allows a maximum of four dweJliags to share a driveway, and all lots
abutting a common driveway are to take access from the driveway, Staff
ret.ommends that the location of the common driveway easement for Lots 6-9, Block
9, should be shifted 5-feet to the south so that Lot 10 is not adjacent to the driveway,
5, House Orientation: Staff has concerns about the orientation of the houses on the lots
using common driveways. Generally, when reviewing the layout of a plat, staff likes for
like yards to match (e.g. - side yard of one lot to abut the side yard of another.) With the
configuration of the common driveways, staff recommends that the orientation of the
Trilogy Subdivision AZ-06-o32, PP-Q6.032
PAGE 9
, ,CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEP ARlMENT STAFF REPORT FOR lHE HEARING DATE OF NOVEMBER 8, 2006
houses on these lots be restricted. Staff recommends that the houses on Lots 13 and 14,
Block 4, should be oriented to the east; the house on Lot IS, Block 4, should be oriented
to the north; the houses on Lots 6-9, Block,2, should be oriented to the north; and the
houses on Lots 29-31, Block I, should be oriented to the south, and the house on Lot 32,
Block 1, should be oriented to the west, to match the yards of the adjacent lots.
6. Pressure brilmtion: 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 thc 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.
7. Fencing: Except along Cbinden Boulevard where a 6-foot tall fCllCC is Pl'OPUSt;U,
perimeter fencing is not shown on the submitted landscape plan or preliminary plat. The
applicant has testified that a 6-foot tall cedar fence will be constructed m:.ound the
Derimeter of the develooment (shown on the revised landscaDe plan as well). Fencing
adjacent to all micro-paths is required. The applicant should submit a detailed fencing
plan with the fmal plat application for the subdivision. If pt::IIIlliIlent fencing is not
provided, temporary constnlction 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 permits. All fencing should taper down to a 3 foot
maximum within 20 feet of all rights-of-way. Fencing shall be installed. in accordance
with UDC 11-3A-7.

Trilogy Subdivision AZ.06.032, PP-06.032
PAGE 10
CITY Of MERlJJIAN PLANNING DEPARtMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF NOVEMBER 8, 2006
Landscaoe Buffer alon~ Chinden Boulevard: Cbinden Boulevard, adjacent to the
property, is classified as an Entryway Corridor on the 2002 Future Land Use Map, and
requires a 3S-foot landscape buffer per UDC 1l.2A-S. The applicant has proposed to
construct a 35-foot wide landscape buffer along Chinden Boulevard, located outside of
the future 100 foot right-of.way for the highway. There is approximately S5 additional
feet that will be improved with grass, until ITD purchases it for the widening of Chinden
Boulevard. This proposal meets the 35 foot minimum landscape buffer requirement and
accommodates the 55 feet of additional area needed by ITD for future roadway expansion
(see Landscaping above.)
10. Common Areas: All common lots which are approved as open space and will function as
drainage areas shall be vegetated and usable hy residents. Maintenance of all common
areas shall be the responsibility of the Trilogy Homeowners Association.
11. (>Pm Space! Amenities: Originally the applicant was proposing to set aside 2.S 1 acres
(8.91 % of the property) for open space. The revised plan shows 2.17 acres of open space,
and the open space is configured quite differently. Staff is supportive of the revised
design as it centralizes the larger open space areas, and provides good access for all of the
residents. The applicant has two large common areas that are centrally located within the
subdivision. Pedestrian pathways (micro-paths) and a picnic shelter are a part of the open
space design, as well. The revised landscaDe Dlan shows a large storm water
detention facilitv where opeD space was previously shown (Lot 8, Block. 5), This
change has a si2Dificant imDact OD the Dercentaee of this site berne: set aside for
llseable ODen space. Staff recommends that the aDulitant exulain this chan2e and
that tbe Council determine if the chane:e is aDoTouriate.
12. Micro-paths: In the applicant's submittallcttcr, he states that a pathway connection from
Chinden Boulevard will be provided into the development. However, this pedestrian path
is not shown on the plans. Staff believes that a micro-path from Cbinden Boulevard into
this site should be provided (on Lot 18, Block 1). All micro-paths shall be constructed in
accordance with UDC 11-3A-8. Landscaping adjacent to all micro-paths should comply
with UDC 11-3B.
13. Tree MitilZation: There are large trees on the site which the applicant. lS proposing to
remove or relocate. Any 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.
14. Existing Structures: The site currently contains multiple buildings. Because the existing
strUl,;lurcs span across proposed lot lines, all buildings should be removed or relocated,
prior to signature of the final plat by the City Engineer.
15. Sidewalk: UDC 11-3A-17D requires sidewalks on both sides of public streets. Rambin
Street is currently improved with pavement only. The applicant is not proposing to
construct sidewalk along Ramblin Court, where the property is adjacent to the existing
right-of-way. Staff believes that the large lots in Rambo Subdivision will re-develop in
the future. When these properties redevelop the City will look to acquire sidewalk along
the portion of Ramblin Court that is being developed. Therefore, if a 5-foot wide concrete
sidewalk is not required on Ramblin Court adjacent to this parcel (adjacent to Lots 1-3,
Trilogy Subdivisioll AZ-06-032, PP.06-o32
PAGE 11
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEl-'ARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF NOVEMBER 8, 2006 '
Block 5), there will be a gap in the sidewalk: infrastructure. Staff recommends that the
applicant be required to construct a 5.foot wide sidewalk along Ramblin Court, where
they abut the existing right-ot:'way. The Plannina & Zonina Commission reouired the
applicant to road trust, not construct the sidewalk alone: Ramblin Court. east of Schwitzer
Avenue.
b. Staff Recommendation: Based on the above analysis, staff finds the AZlPP/PS applications
substantially conform to the Comprehensive Plan policies and UDC standards. As noted under
the Conditions of Approval in Exhibit B, staff recommends residential construction be limited
to SO lots until such time that at least one additional access to the subdivision can be pwvided
via the Bainbridge or Keego Springs Subdivisions. (See Fire Department Development
Review Comments and Requirements, Exhibit B) Staff recommends approval of the subject
AZlPPIPS applications with the conditions shown in Exhibit B. On October S. 2006 the
