Black Cat Rd (parcel number 51216141821) and at the existing terminus of W. Grand Mogul Dr(parcel number 51216131201) (the "Property").

The aa. a proposed Mogul Industrial Park will create Figure 1-The Property 462 East Shore Drive, Suite 100, Eagle, Idaho 83616 208.939.4041 thelandgroupinc.com Page 2 of 3 individual development parcels for the buildings planned at the site. The Property is bounded to the south by Interstate 1-84, to the east by Black Cat Rd, to the north by the Rosenlof Drain (a Nampa& Meridian Irrigation District facility)and to the west by undeveloped properties designated Industrial on the TMISAP and zoned RUT in Ada County. The Property's two development areas are linked by the existing W. Grand Mogul Dr right-of-way, an ACHD public roadway. ACHD has approved signing the future final plat of the project as trustee of the existing right-of-way so that the entire project as proposed can be included in a singular final plat. Phasing of the subdivision is not proposed. Preliminary Plat Application The enclosed preliminary plat application for Mogul Industrial Park Subdivision proposes eleven (11) new buildable lots and the extension of W. Grand Mogul Dr. to the west boundary of the Property, in accordance with the Center DA. No common lots are proposed or required. Lot sizes range from 1.42- acres to 14.55-acres. Block 1 comprises five proposed lots fronting S. Black Cat Rd.The northerly four lots are currently under construction with four light industrial buildings. The design of these buildings anticipated the proposed subdivision. No public improvements are necessary to serve the Block 1 lots, which already enjoy fully improved street frontages on Black Cat and Grand Mogul Dr, and all necessary utilities in place. Blocks 2 and 3 lie at the terminus of the existing W. Grand Modul Dr.The two blocks each contain three proposed lots to be constructed with industrial buildings similar to those recently completed on the adjacent parcels to the east (St. Luke's Consolidated Service Center, and the Meridian Commerce Park Building"J"). Blocks 2 and 3 are separated by W. Grand Mogul Dr, the proposed extension of the ACHD collector roadway recently constructed from Black Cat Rd extending west. The proposed roadway extension will provide two travel lanes, a center turn lane, and 10-ft wide multi-use pathways on both sides of the roadway separated by an 8-ft landscaped planter. W. Grand Mogul Dr. stubs to the west boundary of the Center for future continuation with progression of the City's growth.As required by the Center DA,a north-south roadway along the west property boundary is contemplated in the future with development of Block 2, Lot 3. Availability of Services All utilities necessary to serve the proposed development are existing, adjacent to the Property and provide sufficient capacity to meet the project's needs. The City of Meridian will provide sanitary sewer and domestic water service for culinary and fire-protection purposes. Conceptual designs for the utilities within the W. Grand Mogul Dr. corridor are provided in our application. In addition to the roadway utilities, the development of each large lot will likely include on-property extension of water and sewer infrastructure.The details of on-property utilities will be determined at the time each parcel is developed. Further, the City has identified the need for an off-site extension of the domestic water system from the Center to W. Franklin Rd as a prerequisite for construction of buildings in Blocks 2 and 3.The Developer is working to plan this necessary improvement. sj CMx THE 5Q LAND 462 East Shore Drive, Suite 100, Eagle, Idaho 83616 . 208.939.4041 thelandgroupine.com =r GROUP Page 3 of 3 Non-potable water for site irrigation is available from the existing pressure irrigation pump station that serves the Center.The Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District owns and operates the pump station.The lot owners are responsible for the pressure irrigation distribution lines within their parcel. The pressure irrigation system is supplemented with a backup water source from the City's potable water system. Conclusion The platting of this property as proposed by the Mogul Industrial Park Subdivision provides for the orderly development of the City, in accord with the City's Comprehensive Plan, Development Code. The development is also consistent with the underlying previous approvals encompassed in the Center DA. The proposed development will be harmonious with the surrounding uses and will not cause adverse health, safety or environmental problems The proposed development will also not negatively impact the City's capital improvement program. The public is not expected to financially support services for the project. Property tax revenue generated from the finished industrial buildings will provide the City greater tax revenue than the existing use and will defray the additional City expense of providing public services. We look forward to formally presenting these applications to the Planning&Zoning Commission and then to the Mayor and City Council. As you complete your review, please don't hesitate to let me know if we can provide any additional information to clarify the application.
