Hi Steven, did speak with Sonya about this. She requested that we design the driveway at 20'width and just go around the power poles in question. She did not have an issue with us pulling the fence between the driveways back—5'to remove the pinch point as we had discussed. Please let me know if that will be an acceptable solution for you.

Hi Steven, tried to call but not getting through. This project is on the west side of NW 4t"St, opposite W Camellia Ave.This is a common driveway which will serve the 4 residences (1 existing, 3 proposed) on the north side.There is also an existing driveway to the south serving 2 of the 3 existing houses on the south side,with one taking access from NW 4th. Currently,the neighbors are not interested in giving an access agreement and allowing us to expand the existing driveway to one(legal size)driveway. Due to no access agreement,the city will require some form of separation (open vision fence)to keep new people from using the existing driveway, and vice versa. Maybe we need you to come to our neighborhood meeting to convince them that their 11'wide driveway will not be accessible for emergency vehicles. :- Scott had previously approved the driveway access, apparatus turnaround, and fire hydrant locations with the combined driveway design.What we need now is approval for the split driveway configuration, and for the proposed driveway to be under 20'wide(-19')for the section between the power poles. I highlighted the changes below for clarity. If you would like to discuss, please give me a call at 208.376.5153 ext 115.

Please take a look and reply with your thoughts on approval, or what would be necessary to gain approval,for this common driveway. I'm adding our current drawing for clarity. Main changes/concerns that we wanted your review on: 1. Proposed common driveway will be separate from the 11' existing driveway to the south 2. Distance from property line to existing power poles is—19', so driveway is drawn as 19'wide from NW 4t"to the 2nd power pole,then 20'wide thereafter 3. Open sight fence (callout 1) is shown along the south edge of the proposed driveway from east property line to west end of the driveway <image004.png> Thankyou, Gregg Davis Project Manager BRECKDN landdesign 6661 North Glenwood Street,Garden City,Idaho 83714 MAIN(208)376-5153 BRECKONlanddesign.com From: Gregg Davis Sent: Friday, November 22, 2024 1:43 PM To:Scott Arellano<scott@fccnw.com> Cc:Admin Meridian Fire<meridianfire@meridiancity.org> Subject: RE: Cherry Blossom Place Subdivision East Hi Scott, Since we last spoke about this project,we have had a neighborhood meeting to discuss the project with the neighbors.Those in existing Lots 1 &2 below(south of the project) are not interested in a shared driveway and are currently unwilling to enter a shared access easement agreement with our client. Due to this,we are having to update our design to have separate driveways—the existing will serve existing lots 1 &2, and the new driveway will serve the 3 new lots and existing lot 3.The city will require some form of separation between the driveways , likely a open-sight steel tube fence.The two red dots are power poles, and the one to the east is —19'from the property line as shown,thus the 20'wide access becomes an issue unless the power is moved underground.Would it be possible to get approval from the Fire Department for a driveway less than 20'wide? <image005.png> Thankyou, Gregg Davis Project Manager BRECKDN landdesign 6661 North Glenwood Street,Garden City,Idaho 83714 MAIN(208)376-5153 BRECKONlanddesign.com From: Scott Arellano<scott@fccnw.com> Sent: Monday,July 15, 2024 12:37 PM To: Gregg Davis<gdavis@breckonld.com> Cc:Admin Meridian Fire<meridianfire@meridiancity.org> Subject: Re: Cherry Blossom Place Subdivision East Hi Greg, The proposed driveway access, apparatus turnaround, and fire hydrant location is acceptable as shown on the current site plan.
