The following will be the requirements and/or concerns to provide minimum levels of fire
protection for the proposed project:
1. One and two family dwellings will require a fire-flow of 1,000 gallons per
minute available for a duration of 2 hours to service the entire project. Fire
hydrants shall be placed an average of 400' apart. 1997 UFC Appendix
ill-A
2. Acceptance of the water supply for fire protection will be by the Meridian
Water Department.
3. Final Approval of the fire hydrant locations shall be by the Meridian Fire
Department.
4. The phasing plan may require that any roadway greater than 150' in length
that is not provided with an outlet shall be required to have a turn around.
5. All roads shall have a turning radius of 28' inside and 48' outside.
6. Insure that all yet undeveloped parcels are maintained free of combustible
vegetation per section 1103.2.4 of the Uniform Fire Code.
7. Operational fire hydrants and temporary or permanent street signs are
required before combustible construction begins. UFC 901.4.2 & 901.3
8. A minimum of two points of access will be required for any portion of the

A. Findings of Fact
1. Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate 720 additional vehicle trips per day (10
existing) based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual.
2. Impact Fees: The impact fee rate from the fee tables for this use is as follows:
The impact fee for a residence below 1 ,500-square feet is $1,055.00 per unit.
The impact fee for a residence above 1 ,500-square feet is $1,294.00 per unit.
These rates are based on the impact fee ordinance in effect at this time.
3. Traffic Impact Study: This proposed development is estimated to generate less than 1 ,OOO-trips per
day, therefore a traffic impact study was not required with this application. The following traffic impact
study summary is taken from Washington Group International's North Meridian Traffic Study.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF THE NORTH MERIDIAN TRAFFIC STUDY
The proposed 12-square mile study area between US 20/26 and Ustick Road and between
McDermott Road and Eagle Road (Sections 25-28,33-36 of T4N R1W and sections 29-32 of
T4N R1 E), is selected Ada County Highway District (ACHD) for anticipated development build
out. The following are the principal findings and recommendations of the study:
. By the year 2020 the study area is anticipated to develop an additional 17,599 dwelling units,
2,744,000 sq. ft of office buildings, 1,929,000 sq.ft. of retail buildings, 12 elementary schools,
2 senior high schools, 2 junior high schools, 38,260 sq. ft of church buildings, and
approximately 60 acres of park.
. The build out scenario of the study area is projected to generate an average daily traffic (ADT)
of 276,764 vehicles per day (vpd), of which the peak hour traffic (PHT) will be 28,206 vehicles
per hour (vph). Out of these trips approximately 10% of the trips remain internal within each
section, and 6% of the trips are pass-by trips.
. The distribution of the traffic from all of the study area sections indicate that approximately
30% traffic directed towards south, 27% of the traffic directed towards east, 21 % of the traffic
directed towards west and north. The remaining 22% of the traffic is distributed within the
study area.
. At build out, traffic on the arterials is expected to significantly increase (see Table 4).
. All of the arterial intersections in the study area are currently operating at acceptable level of
service of "C" or better.
. By the year 2020, the majority of study intersections are projected to meet the peak hour
traffic signal warrant.
. A proportionate share of the impacts of the individual sections at each of the study area
arterial intersections is summarized in Table 6.
. Several mid-mile intersections may warrant traffic signals due to the heavy left turn traffic
volume.
. Chinden Boulevard is forecasted with 5-lane section in the study area. Right tums lanes may
be required at some access and arteriai intersections.
. McMiilan Road is forecasted with a 5-lane section east of Black Cat. McMillan Road is
forecasted with a 3-lane section west of Black Cat. At arterial intersections and at access
intersections right turns lanes may be necessary.
2
. Ustick Road is forecasted with a 5-lane section east of Black Cat. Ustick Road is forecasted
with a 3-lane section west of Black Cat. At arterial intersections and at access intersections
right turns lanes may be necessary.
. Linder Road forecasted with a5-lane section in the study area. At arterial intersections and at
access intersections right tums lanes may be required.
. McDermott Road is forecasted with a 3-lane section in the study area. At arterial intersections
and at access intersections tum lanes may be required.
. Black Cat Road is forecasted with a 3-lane section in the study area. At arterial intersections
right turn lanes may be required.
. Ten Mile Road is forecasted with a 5-lane section in the study area. At arterial intersections
and at access intersections turn lanes may be required.
. Meridian Road requires a 3-lane section north of McMillan and 5-lane section south of
McMillan in the study area. At arterial intersections right tum lanes may be required.
. locust Grove Road requires a 3-lane section in the study area. At arterial intersections right
turn lanes may be required. At Ustick Road a 5-lane section is forecasted.
Staff recognizes that the amount of right-of-way dedicated with these improvements is
overwhelming, and that ACHD may not have the funds to purchase such a large amount of right-
of-way. /n this situation it is likely that impact fee offset agreements will be utilized to offset the
amount of money that ACHD will pay out-of-pocket to acquire the right-of-way.
4. Site Information:
There is an existing single-family residence with out buildings on a portion of the site. The remainder
of the site is agricultural.

10. Site History
District staff has not reviewed this site in the past. There are a number of subdivisions that are being
proposed or in the application process located within this general vicinity.
11. Five Year Work Program
There are currently no projects that are scheduled within the District's Five-Year Work Program (FY
03-07).
12. Other Development in Area
Staff has recently been receiving large amounts of inquiries from developers in the northwest
Meridian area. Many developers are prepared to plat entire section-miles, and have site plans
developed. The preliminary plans generally include upwards of 700 to 900 residential lots, schools,
office/commerciallots, and city and neighborhood parks.
Some of the large developments within the North Meridian Planning area include: Bridgetower
Subdivision, Keltic Heights Subdivision, Baldwin Park Subdivision and Utility Subdivision.
. On October 17, 2001, the Commission approved a rezone application and a sketch plat for Keltic
Heights Subdivision. Keltic Heights Subdivision is proposed to be 1,522 lots. The applicant
proposed 929 residential lots, 8 commercial lots and a 585-unit multi-family subdivision on
452.16-acres.
. On October 17, 2001 the Commission approved a rezone and preliminary plat application for an
8-lot industrial subdivision on 34.6-acres (Utility Subdivision).
. On November 7,2001 the Commission approved rezone and annexation application for 370.55
acres. The Commission also approved a preliminary plat for 336 lots on 175.91 acres and
conditional use approval for a total of 692 single-family residences, 59 senior housing units, 17
office lots, 10 commercial lots, and an elementary school (Bridgetower Subdivision).
. On February 6, 2002, the Commission approved a preliminary plat application for a 272-lot
residential subdivision on 78-acres (Baldwin Park).
. On April 17, 2002, the Commission approved a preliminary plat application for a 285-lot
subdivision on 75.4 acres (Heritage Commons Subdivision).
. On May 22, 2002, the Commission approved a preliminary plat application for an 876-lot mixed-
use subdivision. The subdivision consisted of 862 single-family dwellings, 171 multi-family
dwellings, 11 office buildings, 1 commercial building, 1 fire station, 1 city park and 1 private park
(Lochsa Falls Subdivision).
. On July 17, 2002, the Commission approved a request fo, approval for an annexation and
rezone for a 135,000 square foot Middle School within the Meridian School District.
. On August 21,2002, the Commission approved a preliminary plat application for a 144-lot
residential subdivision on 43-acres (Sundance Place Subdivision).
4
. On August 28, 2002, the Commission approved a preliminary plat application for a 12-lot
residential subdivision on 5-acres (Drawbridge Subdivision).
. On September 11, 2002, the Commission approved a prelimina,y plat application fo' a 49-lot
residential subdivision on 7.30-acres (Tully Cove Subdivision).
Due to the large number of inquiries and submitted development applications in this area, staff and
the development community realized that the potential for development in this area is extreme and .
the traffic impact studies that each individual developer was submitting did not include the major
surrounding developments that are "in the works". If staff examines each development individually,
the roadway system appears adequate, but when staff begins to add in a second or third large-scale
development, the traffic capacities of these roadways (Ustick Road, McMillan Road, Ten Mile Road,
Under Road) reach their 2020 planning thresholds.
Based on development patterns in this area, and the concern surrounding the abutting roadways,
ACHD hired Washington Group to conduct a traffic impact study of the northwestern Meridian area
from Ustick Road to Chinden Boulevard, and from Meridian Road to one-half mile west of Black Cat
Road.
One option for funding improving these roadways is the implementation of an extra-ordinary impact
fee overlay district. Cobblefield Crossing Subdivision may also be subject to any extraordinary
fees that the District may impose.
The second phase of the study, the economic phase has been initiated and will focus on the cost of
the improvements deemed necessary by the study, including right-of-way costs. The outcome of the
economic study has provided the District with an estimate of the costs to improve the roadways in the
North Meridian Planning Area to handle the traffic generated by the proposed developments in the
area. This final estimated cost is not yet available, as staff is still reviewing street section options that
may reduce the right-of-way costs.
B. Findings for Consideration
1. Right-of.Way
District policy requires 96-feet of right-of-way on arterial roadways (Figure 72-F1 B). This right-of-way
allows for the construction of a 5-lane roadway with curb, gutter, 5-foot concrete detached sidewalks
and bike lanes.
The applicant has expressed that they may have an interest in dedicating less right-of-way (38-feet
from centerline) and placing the sidewalk on Under Road and McMillan Road within an easement.
The District is supportive of the applicant dedicating the amount of right-of-way that is required for the
construction of the roadway due to the fact that the District may construct the roadway without having
to compensate the applicant for additional right-of-way. The applicant should dedicate an adequate
amount of right-of-way (3S-feet from centerline) that can accommodate one half of a 72-foot street
section with curb, gutter and a 2-foot utility easement with an easement for the 5-foot concrete
sidewalk.
2. Sidewalk
District policy requires 5-foot wide (minimum) concrete sidewalk on all collector and arterial
roadways.
5
3. Roadway Offsets
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 policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 300-feet from an
arterial roadway (measured centerline to centerline).
The applicant is proposing to construct the main entrance, Cobblefield Drive, to intersect Linder Road
approximately 140-feet north of the south property line. This entrance will be approximately 690-feet
north of the main entrance to Baldwin Park Subdivision and approximately 500-feet south of the main
entrance to Bridgetower Crossing Subdivision. This location meets District policy and should be
approved with this application.
All of the internal roadways meet District policy and should be approved with this application.
4. Roadway Street Sections
The applicant is proposing to construct all of the internal roadways as 36-foot street section with curb,
gutter and 5-foot concrete sidewalk within 50-feet of right-of-way. This roadway street section meets .
District policy and should be approved with this application.
The applicant is proposing to construct islands/medians within the public right-of-way. To safely
channel traffic and provide a sufficient pavement width for emergency vehicles, the applicant should
provide a minimum of 21-feet measured from back of curb to back of curb on either side of a
proposed median.
5. Stub Streets
District policy 7203.5.1 and 7205.5 requires stub streets to provide intra-neighborhood circulation and
to provide access to adjoining parcels. District policy also requires temporary turnarounds with a
temporary easement provided to the District at the end of stub streets that serve more than one lot, or
are greater than 150-feet in length with a sign at the terminus of the roadway stating that, "THIS
ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE".
The applicant is proposing to construct two stub streets and one strip of right-of-way.
The first stub street is proposed to extend to the south property line approximately 1,OOO-feet east of
Linder Road. Staff is supportive of this stub street location. Due to the fact that this stub street is less
than 150-feet and less than 1-lot in depth, the applicant should not be required to construct a
temporary turnaround at the terminus of the stub street. The applicant should install a sign at the
terminus of the roadway stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE".
The second stub street is proposed to extend to the north property line approximately 1,340-feet east
of Linder Road. Staff is supportive of this stub street location. Due to the fact that this stub street is
less than 150-feet and less than 1-lot in depth, the applicant should not be required to construct a
temporary turnaround at the terminus of the stub street. The applicant should install a sign at the
terminus of the roadway stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE".
The strip of right-of-way that the applicant is proposing to dedicate is located within the 50-foot flag
that extends from the proposed subdivision to McMillan Road. Staff is supportive of this strip of right-
of-way but has some concems with the construction of this roadway. Due to the fact that this is a
unique situation and to alleviate staffs concerns, District staff recommends that the applicant dedicate
a "temporary stub street" to the District in the form of an easement. The "temporary stub street" will be
6
a 50-foot easement located within the 50-foot flag approximately 760-feet north of the south property
line and will extend from the east property line to the west property line. This easement may become
a right-of-way in the future (at the sole discretion of the District) at no cost to the District and the costs
associated with the construction of the street will be paid by the owner/developer and placed within a
Public Right's-of-Way Road Trust deposit. If the 50-foot easement is not utilized to construct a stub
street within five years from the date of the signed final plat, the easement and the road trust deposit
will expire and revert back to the Owner/developer.
6. Knuckles
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 1 OO-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 Planning and Development staff.
The applicant is proposing to construct two knuckles with islands within the subdivision. Staff is
supportive of the location of these knuckles. The applicant should construct the island within the
knuckles a minimum of 4-feet wide with a minimum area of 100-square feet and provide a minimum
of a 29-foot street section for the roadway around the traffic island.
7. Islands / Medians
District policy 7202.7 and 7207.5 requires any proposed landscape islands/medians within the public
right-of-way dedicated by this plat should be owned and maintained by a homeowners association.
Notes of this should be required on the final plat.
8. Other Access
Other than the access that has been approved with this application, direct lot access to Linder Road
and McMillan Road is prohibited.
C. Site Specific Conditions of Approval
1. Dedicate 48-feet of right-of-way from the centerline of Linder Road and McMillan Road abutting the
parcel by means of a warranty deed. 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. Allow up to 30 business days to process the right-of-way dedication after receipt of all requested
material. The owner will be paid the fair market value of the right-of-way dedicated which is an
addition to existing ACHD right-of-way if the owner submits a letter of application to the impact fee
administrator prior to breaking ground, in accordance with the ACHD Ordinance in effect at that time
(currently Ordinance #195).

A. Findings of Fact
1. Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate 720 additional vehicle trips per day (10
existing) based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual.
2. Impact Fees: The impact fee rate from the fee tables for this use is as follows:
The impact fee for a residence beiow 1 ,500-square feet is $1,055.00 per unit.
The impact fee for a residence above 1 ,500-square feet is $1,294.00 per unit.
These rates are based on the impact fee ordinance in effect at this time.
3. Traffic Impact Study: This proposed development is estimated to generate less than 1 ,OOO-trips per
day, therefore a traffic impact study was not required with this application. The following traffic impact
study summary is taken from Washington Group International's North Meridian Traffic Study.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF THE NORTH MERIDIAN TRAFFIC STUDY
The proposed 12-square mile study area between US 20/26 and Ustick Road and between
McDermott Road and Eagle Road (Sections 25-28, 33-36 of T4N R1W and sections 29-32 of
T4N R1E), is selected Ada County Highway District (ACHD) for anticipated development build
out. The following are the principal findings and recommendations of the study:
. By the year 2020 the study area is anticipated to develop an additional 17,599 dwelling units,
2,744,000 sq. ft of office buildings, 1,929,000 sq.ft. of retail buildings, 12 elementary schools,
2 senior high schools, 2 junior high schools, 38,260 sq. ft of church buildings, and
approximately 60 acres of park.
. The build out scenario of the study area is projected to generate an average daily traffic (ADT)
of 276,764 vehicles per day (vpd), of which the peak hour traffic (PHT) will be 28,206 vehicles
per hour (vph). Out of these trips approximately 10% of the trips remain internal within each
section, and 6% of the trips are pass-by trips.
. The distribution of the traffic from all of the study area sections indicate that approximately
30% traffic directed towards south, 27% of the traffic directed towards east, 21 % of the traffic
directed towards west and north. The remaining 22% of the traffic is distributed within the
study area.
. At build out, traffic on the arterials is expected to significantly increase (see Table 4).
. All of the arterial intersections in the study area are currently operating at acceptable level of
service of "C. or better.
. By the year 2020, the majority of study intersections are projected to meet the peak hour
traffic signal warrant.
. A proportionate share of the impacts of the individual sections at each of the study area
arterial intersections is summarized in Table 6.
· Several mid-mile intersections may warrant traffic signals due to the heavy left turn traffic
volume.
. Chinden Boulevard is forecasted with 5-lane section in the study area. Right turns ianes may
be required at some access and arterial intersections.
. McMillan Road is forecasted with a 5-iane section east of Black Cat. McMillan Road is
forecasted with a 3-lane section west of Black Cat. At arterial intersections and at access
intersections right turns lanes may be necessary.
2
· Ustick Road is forecasted with a 5-lane section east of Black Cat. Ustick Road is forecasted
with a 3-lane section west of Black Cat. At arterial intersections and at access intersections
right turns lanes may be necessary.
· Under Road forecasted with a 5-lane section in the study area. At arterial intersections and at
access intersections right turns lanes may be required.
. McDermott Road is forecasted with a 3-lane section in the study area. At arterial intersections
and at access intersections turn lanes may be required.
. Black Cat Road is forecasted with a 3-lane section in the study area. At arterial intersections
right turn lanes may be required.
. Ten Mile Road is forecasted with a 5-lane section in the study area. At arterial intersections
and at access intersections turn lanes may be required.
. Meridian Road requires a 3-lane section north of McMillan and 5-lane section south of
McMillan in the study area. At arterial intersections right turn lanes may be required.
. locust Grove Road requires a 3-lane section in the study area. At arterial intersections right
turn lanes may be required. At Ustick Road a 5-lane section is forecasted.
Staff recognizes that the amount of right-of-way dedicated with these improvements is
overwhelming, and that ACHD may not have the funds to purchase such a large amount of right-
of-way. In this situation it is likely that impact fee offset agreements will be utilized to offset the
amount of money that ACHD will pay out-of-pocket to acquire the right-of-way.
4. Site Information:
There is an existing single-family residence with out buildings on a portion of the site. The remainder
of the site is agricultural.

10. Site History
District staff has not reviewed this site in the past. There are a number of subdivisions that are being
proposed or in the application process located within this general vicinity.
11. Five Year Work Program
There are currently no projects that are scheduled within the District's Five-Year Work Program (FY
03-07).
12. Other Development in Area
Staff has recently been receiving large amounts of inquiries from developers in the northwest
Meridian area. Many developers are prepared to plat entire section-miles, and have site plans
developed. The preliminary plans generally include upwards of 700 to 900 residential lots, schools,
officelcommerciallots, and city and neighborhood parks.
Some of the large developments within the North Meridian Planning area include: Bridgetower
Subdivision, Keltic Heights Subdivision, Baldwin Park Subdivision and Utility Subdivision.
. On October 17, 2001, the Commission approved a rezone application and a sketch plat for Keltic
Heights Subdivision. Keltic Heights Subdivision is proposed to be 1,522 lots. . The applicant
proposed 929 residential lots, 8 commercial lots and a 585-unit multi-family subdivision on
452.16-acres.
. On October 17, 2001 the Commission approved a rezone and preliminary plat application for an
8-lot industrial subdivision on 34.6-acres (Utility Subdivision).
. On November 7, 2001 the Commission approved rezone and annexation application for 370.55
acres. The Commission also approved a preliminary plat for 336 lots on 175.91 acres and
conditional use approval for a total of 692 single-family residences, 59 senior housing units, 17
office lots, 10 commercial lots, and an elementary school (Bridgetower Subdivision).
. On February 6, 2002, the Commission approved a preliminary plat application for a 272-lot
residential subdivision on 7a-acres (Baldwin Park).
. On April 17, 2002, the Commission approved a preliminary plat application for a 285-lot
subdivision on 75.4 acres (Heritage Commons Subdivision).
. On May 22, 2002, the Commission approved a preliminary plat application for an 876-lot mixed-
use subdivision. The subdivision consisted of 862 single-family dwellings, 171 multi-family
dwellings, 11 office buildings, 1 commercial building, 1 fire station, 1 city park and 1 private park
(Lochsa Falls Subdivision).
. On July 17, 2002, the Commission approved a request for app,oval for an annexation and
rezone for a 135,000 square foot Middle School within the Me,idian School District.
. On August 21, 2002, the Commission app,oved a preliminary plat application for a 144-lot
residential subdivision on 43-acres (Sundance Place Subdivision).
4
. On August 28, 2002, the Commission approved a prelimina,y plat application for a 12-lot
residential subdivision on 5-ac,es (D,awb,idge Subdivision).
. On September 11, 2002, the Commission approved a preliminary plat application for a 49-lot
,esidential subdivision on 7.30-ac,es (Tully Cove Subdivision).
Due to the large number of inquiries and submitted development applications in this area, staff and
the development community realized that the potential for development in this area is extreme and
the traffic impact studies that each individual developer was submitting did not include the major
surrounding developments that are "in the works". If staff examines each development individually,
the roadway system appears adequate, but when staff begins to add in a second or third large-scale
development, the traffic capacities of these roadways (Ustick Road, McMillan Road, Ten Mile Road,
Under Road) reach their 2020 planning thresholds.
Based on development patterns in this area, and the concern surrounding the abutting roadways,
ACHD hired Washington Group to conduct a traffic impact study of the northwestern Meridian area
from Ustick Road to Chinden Boulevard, and from Meridian Road to one-half mile west of Black Cat
Road.
One option for funding improving these roadways is the implementation of an extra-ordinary impact
fee overlay district. Cobblefield C,ossing Subdivision may also be subject to any extraordinary
fees that the District may impose.
The second phase of the study, the economic phase has been initiated and will focus on the cost of
the improvements deemed necessary by the study, including right-of-way costs. The outcome of the
economic study has provided the District with an estimate of the costs to improve the roadways in the
North Meridian Planning Area to handle the traffic generated by the proposed developments in the
area. This final estimated cost is not yet available, as staff is still reviewing street section options that
may reduce the right-of-way costs.
B. Findings for Consideration
1. Right-of.Way
District policy requires 96-feet of right-of-way on arterial roadways (Figure 72-F1 B). This right-of-way
allows for the construction of a 5-lane roadway with curb, gutter, 5-foot concrete detached sidewalks
and bike lanes.
The applicant has expressed that they may have an interest in dedicating less right-of-way (38-feet
from centerline) and placing the sidewalk on Linder Road and McMillan Road within an easement.
The District is supportive of the applicant dedicating the amount of right-of-way that is required for the
construction of the roadway due to the fact that the District may construct the roadway without having
to compensate the applicant for additional right-of-way. The applicant should dedicate an adequate
amount of right-of-way (38-feet from centerline) that can accommodate one half of a 72-foot street
section with curb, gutter and a 2-foot utility easement with an easement for the 5-foot concrete
sidewalk.
2. Sidewalk
District policy requires 5-foot wide (minimum) concrete sidewalk on all coilector and arterial
roadways.
5
3. Roadway Offsets
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 policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 300-feet from an
arterial roadway (measured centerline to centerline).
The applicant is proposing to construct the main entrance, Cobblefield Drive, to intersect Linder Road
approximately 140-feet north of the south property line. This entrance will be approximately 690-feet
north of the main entrance to Baldwin Park Subdivision and approximately 500-feet south of the main
entrance to Bridgetower Crossing Subdivision. This location meets District policy and should be
approved with this application.
All of the internal roadways meet District policy and should be approved with this application.
4. Roadway Street Sections
The applicant is proposing to construct all of the internal roadways as 36-foot street section with curb,
gutter and 5-foot concrete sidewalk within 50-feet of right-of-way. This roadway street section meets
District policy and should be approved with this application.
The applicant is proposing to construct islands/medians within the public right-of-way. To safely
channel traffic and provide a sufficient pavement width for emergency vehicles, the applicant should
provide a minimum of 21-feet measured from back of curb to back of curb on either side of a
proposed median.
5. Stub Streets
District policy 7203.5.1 and 7205.5 requires stub streets to provide intra-neighborhood circulation and
to provide access to adjoining parcels. District policy also requires temporary turnarounds with a
temporary easement provided to the District at the end of stub streets that serve more than one lot, or
are greater than 150-feet in length with a sign at the terminus of.the roadway stating that, ''THIS
ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE".
The applicant is proposing to construct two stub streets and one strip of right-of-way.
The first stub street is proposed to extend to the south property line approximately 1 ,OOO-feet east of
Linder Road. Staff is supportive of this stub street location. Due to the fact that this stub street is less
than 150-feet and less than 1-lot in depth, the applicant should not be required to construct a
temporary turnaround at the terminus of the stub street. The applicant should install a sign at the
terminus of the roadway stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE".
The second stub street is proposed to extend to the north property line approximately 1 ,340-feet east
of Linder Road. Staff is supportive of this stub street location. Due to the fact that this stub street is
less than 150-feet and less than 1-lot in depth, the applicant should not be required to construct a
temporary turnaround at the terminus of the stub street. The applicant should install a sign at the
terminus of the roadway stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE".
The strip of right-of-way that the applicant is proposing to dedicate is located within the 50-foot flag
that extends from the proposed subdivision to McMillan Road. Staff is supportive of this strip of right-
of-way but has some concerns with the construction of this roadway. Due to the fact that this is a
unique situation and to alleviate staffs concerns, District staff recommends that the applicant dedicate
a "temporary stub street" to the District in the form of an easement. The "temporary stub street" will be
6
a 50-foot easement located within the 50-foot flag approximately 760-feet north of the south property
line and will extend from the east property line to the west property line. This easement may become
a right-of-way in the future (at the sole discretion of the District) at no cost to the District and the costs
associated with the construction of the street will be paid by the owner/developer and placed within a
Public Right's-of-Way Road Trust deposit. If the 50-foot easement is not utilized to construct a stub
street within five years from the date of the signed final plat, the easement and the road trust deposit
will expire and revert back to the Owner/developer.
6. Knuckles
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 Planning and Development staff.
The applicant is proposing to construct two knuckles with islands within the subdivision. Staff is
supportive of the location of these knuckles. The applicant should construct the island within the
knuckles a minimum of 4-feet wide with a minimum area of 1 DO-square feet and provide a minimum
of a 29-foot street section for the roadway around the traffic island.
7. Islands I Medians
District policy 7202.7 and 7207.5 requires any proposed landscape islands/medians within the public
right-of-way dedicated by this plat should be owned and maintained by a homeowners association.
Notes of this should be required on the final plat.
8. Other Access
Other than the access that has been approved with this application, direct lot access to Under Road
and McMillan Road is prohibited.
C. Site Specific Conditions of Approval
1. Dedicate 48-feet of right-of-way from the centerline of Under Road and McMillan Road abutting the
parcel by means of a warranty deed. 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. Allow up to 30 business days to process the right-of-way dedication after receipt of all requested
material. The owner will be paid the fair market value of the right-of-way dedicated which is an
addition to existing ACHD right-of-way if the owner submits a letter of application to the impact fee
administrator prior to breaking ground, in accordance with the ACHD Ordinance in effect at that time
(currently Ordinance #195).

facts and information not presented at the earlier meeting, or a changed situation that has
developed since the taking of the earlier vote, or information establishing an error of fact or
law in the earlier action. The request may also be supported by oral testimony at the meeting.

STORM WATER MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that storm water be pre-treated through a grassy swale
prior to discharge to the subsurface to prevent impact to ground water and
surface water quality. The engineers and architects involved with the design
of this project should obtain current best management practices for storm
water disposal and design a storm water management system that is
preventing groundwater and surface water degradation. Manuals that could
be used for guidance are:
State ofJdaho Catalog of Storm water Best Management Practices For
Idaho Cities and Counties.
Prepared by the Idaho Division of Environmental Quality, July 1997.

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 of Cobblefield Crossing Subdivision will have a significant impact on school
enrollments at Ponderosa Elementary. Eagle Middle. and Eagle High School.
We can predict that these homes, when completed, will house eighteen (18) elementary
aged children, fifteen (15) middle school aged children, and thirteen (13) 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 students to other schools across the district.
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 at888~6701.
Sincerely,

Meridian Zoning Commission:
City Of Meridian
City Clerk Office
This letter identifies my concerns associated with the proposed Cobblefield Crossing
Subdivision. The subdivision will be located at 4450 North Linder Road. .
IRRIGATION CONCERNS
I receive my irrigation water from the same Settler's Canal head gate as the proposed
subdivision. For the past eight years we have had thirty-six continuous hours of irrigation
rights during each twelve-day period. I would like to ensure this schedule continues.
ZONING CONCERNS
During the public hearings on the Meridian Comprehensive Plan the maps showed a
zoning change boundary from R-8 to lower density falling just south of 4450 Linder
Road. This zoning change is of significant importance to me as a property owner in the
area ofIower density. When was the zoning boundary between the R-8 and lower density
zoning moved? Where is that boundary located now? When was this change public
noticed, especially for the impacted property owners?
FENCING
One portion of our back property line is shared with the subdivision. This property line
sits on the narrow crest between the head gate 29 ditch and the ditch that provides the
irrigation water to my neighbor's and my property. I request that a fence compatible with
livestock, ditch burning and ditch maintenance be required (and the ditch easements be
recorded on the plat plan).
RIGHT TO FARM NOTICE
I raise hay, steers and horses on my property. I request that the Zoning Commission
require a notice of the right to farm act be included as part of the each property transfer
within the subdivision until such time as all the contiguous properties have been
redeveloped.
I thank the Commission for their time.

ANNEXATION & ZONING ANALYSIS
According to Ordinance 11-15-11, General Standards Applicable to Zoning Amendments, both
the P&Z Commission and Council are required "to review the particular facts and circumstances
AZ-02-D24, PMZ-022, CUP.o2.032
Cobblefield Crossing SubdivillionAZ.PP.CUP
Planning & Zoning Commission!Mayor & City Council
November 18, 2002
Page 3
of each proposed zoning amendment in terms of the following standards and shall find adequate
evidence answering the following questions about the proposed zoning amendment."
The following is the list of standards found in 11-15-11 and analysis by staff:
A. Will the new zoning be harmonious with and in accordance with the
Comprehensive Plan and, if not, has there been an application for a
Comprehensive Plan amendment;
Staff finds that the requested zoning designation, R-8, is harmonious with and in
accordance with the effective Comprehensive Plan ('02) and Future Land Use
Map, which designates the land to be "Low Density Residential." While the
proposed 5+ dwelling units per acre density is not allowed under the "Low
Density" designation, the Comprehensive Plan does allow a density upgrade to
"Medium" without a formal Comp Plan amendment.
B. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be rezoned in the
future;
Staff does not anticipate that the applicant intends to rezone the subject property
in the future.
C. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be developed in the
fashion that would be allowed under the new zoning -for example, a
residential area turning into a commercial area by means of conditional use
permits;
Staff finds that the proposed single family residential subdivision will be allowed
within the requested R-8 zone, (if accompanied with an approved Conditional Use
Permit for a Planned Development).
D. Has there been a change in the area or adjacent areas which may dictate that
the area should be rezoned. For example, bave the streets been widened, new
railroad access been developed or planned or adjacent area being developed
in a fashion similar to tbe proposed rezone area;
Staff finds that the land to the south is being developed in a manner similar to the
proposed subdivision. Staff finds that the requested zoning designation of R-8 is
harmonious with the recently approved adjacent development (Baldwin Park),
also zoned R-8, and may be rezoned in the requested manner. Additionally, the
annexation and preliminary plat approval of Bridgetower Crossing Subdivision
immediately to the west signifies a change in the area that would support the
proposed use. ACHD has reviewed the adjacent street capacity and has approved
the proposed subdivision (with conditions).

E. Will the proposed uses be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to
be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing or intended
character of the general vicinity and that such use will not change the
essential character of the same area;
Staff finds that the proposed use (single family residential) will not change the
existing or intended character of the area, which is low to medium density
residential.
F. Will the proposed uses not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future
neighboring uses;
The Commission and Council should rely on public testimony (oral and written)
to determine whether or not the proposed use will be disturbing or hazardous to
the existing or future neighboring uses.
Staff does not anticipate that the proposed residential uses will be hazardous or
disturbing to future or existing neighbors, as long as fencing and other
recommended conditions are exercised.
G. Will the area be served adequately by essential pnblic facilities and services
such as highways, streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures,
refuse disposal, water, sewer or that the person responsible for the
establishment of proposed zoning amendment shaJI be able to provide
adequately any of such services;
Staff finds that the property to be annexed will be served adequately by all
essential public facilities and services. Applicant shall be required to extend
water and sanitary sewer mains to and through the proposed development, thereby
making them available to the adjacent properties.
Please review ACHD, Police and Fire Department's comments concerning this
subdivision for further information regarding public services.
H. Will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public
facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of
the community;
Staff finds that there will not be excessive additional requirements at public cost
and that the annexation and zoning wiIl not be detrimental to the community's
economic welfare.
I. Will the proposed uses 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;

Staff finds that the proposed subdivision will not create excessive traffic, noise or
other nuisances that would be detrimental to the general welfare of the
surrounding area.
Staff recognizes the fact that traffic and noise will increase with the approval of
this subdivision; however staff does not feel that the amount generated will be
detrimental to the public welfare of the city.
J. Will the area have vehicular approaches to the property which shall be so
designed as not to create an interference with traffic on surrounding public
streets;
Staff finds that the subdivision's vehicular approaches off ofN. Linder Road will
create new interference with the existing traffic on aforementioned roads,
however staff does not believe that the subdivision entrances will cause
significant interference on the surrounding public streets.
Please. review ACHD comments concerning vehicular approaches and traffic
generation.
K. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natnral or scenic
featnre of major importance; and
Staff finds that no natural or scenic features of major importance will be lost or
damaged by approving the annexation and re-zone. Any existing trees larger than
4" caliper that are removed shall be mitigated for, per the Landscape Ordinance.
L. Is the proposed zoning amendment in the best interest of the City of
Meridian. (Ord. 592, 11-17-1992)?
Staff finds that the annexation of this property would be in the best interest of the
City.
ANEXATION AND ZONING COMMENTS
1. Any existing domestic wells and/or septic systems within this project will have to be
removed from their domestic service, per City Ordinance Section 5-7-517, when services are
available from the City of Meridian. Wells may be used for non-domestic purposes such as
landscape irrigation.
2. A Development Agreement shall be entered into between the City of Meridian and the
Applicant as part of the Annexation application. The Development Agreement shall outline
any special conditions placed upon the Preliminary Plat application, including the maximum
allowable density.

3. The legal description for annexation and zoning appears to describe the subject property, and
complies with the requirements of the State Tax Commission and City of Meridian.
PRELIMINARY PLA T FINDINGS AND REOUIREMENTS
Sections 12-3-3 J.2 and 12-3-5 D read as follows: "In detennining the acceptance of a proposed
subdivision, the Commission/Council shall consider the objectives of this title and at least the
following:
a. The conformance oftbe subdivision with the Comprehensive Development Plan;
Staff finds the subdivision to be in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan.
b. The availability of public services to accommodate the proposed development;
Staff finds that public services are available to accommodate the proposed development.
c. The continuity of the proposed development with the capital improvement
program;
Staff finds that the subdivision will not require the expenditure of capital improvement
funds.
d. The public financial capability of supporting services for the proposed
development;
Staff finds that the development will not require major expenditures for providing
supporting services.
e. Tbe other health, safety or environmental problems that may be brought to the
Commission's attention.
Staff finds that there should not be any other health, safety or environmental problems
associated with this subdivision that may be brought to the Councilor Commission's
attention.
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
1. Setbacks: The Applicant is proposing 5-foot side yard setbacks for both single and two
story structures. MCC 11-9-1 requires 5-feet per story. The proposal results in a 1O-foot
separation between structures versus a 20-foot separation (as under code). The City of
Meridian has allowed 5-foot setbacks in other subdivisions, most recently Woodbridge
and Berkeley Square. As a PD, reduced setbacks may be reduced with
Commission/Council approval. Due to fire safety considerations, Staff is recommending
that either, I) no fences or other structural encroachments be permitted in any required
side yard setback area or, 2) the plat include a note to provide off-setting zero-line and

10-foot sideyard dimensions in order to allow adequate fire access to second stories. Both
of these options would ensure that a minimum 100foot wide, free and clear space is
provided between structures on at least one side of the residences. Both of these
recommendations are included in the site specific comments below (# 6).
2. Stub Streets: ACHD has approved a "temporary stub street" located within the 50-foot
wide flag strip, with the condition that this temporary right-of-way revert back to the
owner/developer within 5-years from final plat signature if the street is not constructed.
This temporary stub street is located approximately 510 feet south of McMillan and
would provide connectivity between the 40-acre Brinegar parcel to the east and the 6-acre
Bruck parcel to the west. Staff agrees that ensuring some connectivity between these
parcels is important. However, should the Brinegar and Bruck parcels not develop within
five years, the city would not be ensured of this connectivity.
Therefore, Staff is recommending a new stub street be located somewhere between
Lotsl6 and 19, Block 3, approximately 350 feet south ofthe temporary stub. This would
also provide a future connection to the Brinegar parcel AND would guarantee
connectivity. The stub should be placed no more than 1,000 feet south of the McMillan
Road right-of-way line. Staff's preference would be for this to be an additional stub street
and to maintain the temporary stub as a second vehicular stub. However, we also
recognize this is a small parcel and, as an alternative, we would support converting the
temporary stub to a 20-foot wide pedestrian connection only. This recommendation is
included in site specific conditions #7 below.
3. Block Length: Block 1 exceeds the maximum 1,000 foot block length allowed under
MCC. The Applicant has not requested a variance under the PD for this exceedance. Staff
also has concerns about the lack of connectivity to the 5-acre Converse parcel abutting
the north and west boundaries of this block, as neither a vehicular or pedestrian
connection is provided to this parcel. In condition #8 below, Staff is recommending a 20-
foot wide pedestrian connection be added to the plat to break-up this block length.
4. Townhouse Lot Reconfiguration: ACHD is requiring a minimum 29-foot wide street
section in front of the eight townhouse lots in Block 4. This will impact the design of
these eight lots. In condition #13 below, Staff is requiring a revised plat in order to
review the reconfiguration of these lots.
SITE SPECIFIC COMMENTS / PRELIMlNARY PLAT
1. Sanitary sewer service to this site shall be via main line extensions from the existing
mains adjacent to the property. This development shall be subject to sanitary sewer
latecomer fees to reimburse those responsible for extending sewer service into the area.
The latecomer fees for each lot shall be due and payable upon signature on final plat.
2. Domestic water service to this site shall be via main line extensions from the existing

STANDARDS FOR CONDmONAL USES
The Commission and Council shall review the particular facts and circumstances of each
proposed conditional use in terms of the following and may approve a conditional use permit if
they shall find evidence presented at the hearing(s) is adequate to establish (11-17-3):
A. That the site is large enough to accommodate the proposed use and all yards, open
spaces, parking landscaping and other features as may be required by this
ordinance;
Staff finds that the subject property is large enough to accommodate the requested use
and all other required features as noted above.
B. That the proposed use and development plan will be harmonious with the Meridiau
Comprehensive Plan and in accordance with the requirements of this Ordinance;
The current Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates the property as "Low Density
Residential". Staff finds that the proposed residential uses are harmonious with and in
accordance with the Comprehensive Plan.
The project is being proposed as a conditional use for a planned development in order to
allow reduced lot sizes, reduced street frontages, and reduced setbacks. If the project is
approved as a Planned Development, it will meet the minimum requirements of the
MCC.
C. That the design, construction, operation, and maintenance will be compatible with
other uses in the general neighborhood and with the existing or intended character
of the general vicinity and tbat such use will not adversely change the essential
character of the same area;
Staff finds that the proposed residential subdivision use will be harmonious with the
intended and existing character of the area. Baldwin Park Subdivision, directly south of
the proposed project, has an average of 65-foot wide lots, approximately 10-12 feet wider

than Cobblefield Crossing's abutting lots. Staff deems single family detached housing
adjacent to single family detached housing similar and compatible.
D. That the proposed use, if it complies with all conditions of the approval imposed,
will not adversely affect other property in the vicinity;
Staff does not anticipate that the proposed project will have an adverse impact on other
properties within the vicinity; however, the Commission and Council should consider any
testimony (written and oral) presented at the public hearings before making this finding.
E. That the proposed use will be served adequately by essential public facilities and
services such as highways, street, police, and tire protection, drainage structures,
refuse disposal, water, sewer or that the person responsible for the establishment of
proposed conditional nse shall be able to provide adequately any such services;
Staff finds that the proposed development will be adequately served by the essential
public facilities and services listed above.
F. That the proposed use will not create excessive additional requirements at public
cost for public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic
welfare ofthe community;
Staff finds that the proposed use would not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the
community, nor would it create the need for any new facilities or services to be paid for
by the public that would be considered excessive.
G. That the proposed use will not involve activities or processes, materials, equipment,
and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property, or
general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes,
glare or odors;
Staff finds that there will be an increase in traffic and noise in the general vicinity if the
subdivision is approved, but that approval of the subdivision will not lead to a major
increase in smoke, fumes, glare, odors or other disturbances that will be considered
detrimental to the welfare of the City and the subdivision's neighbors.
H. That the proposed use will have vehicular approaches to the property which shall be
so designed as not to create an interference with traffic on surrounding public
streets;
Staff finds that the proposed use will not create significant interference with any traffic
on the surrounding public streets.
Please review the ACHD report for this project for additional information regarding this
finding.

I. That the proposed use will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural,
scenic or historic feature considered to be of major importance.
Staff does not find that any natural or scenic feature will be lost, damaged or destroyed
by issuance of this conditional use. Existing trees greater than 4" caliper must be retained
or mitigated for, if removed.
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS (Conditional Use Permit)
1. The Applicant is proposing 5-foot side yard setbacks for both single and two story
structures. MCC 11-9-1 requires 5-feet per story. The proposal results in a 10-foot
separation between structures versus a 20-foot separation (as under code). The City of
Meridian has allowed 5-foot setbacks in other subdivisions, most recently Woodbridge
and Berkeley Square. As a PD, reduced setbacks may be reduced with
Commission/Council approval. Due to fire safety considerations, Staff is recommending
that either 1) no fences or other structural encroachments be permitted in any required
side yard setback area, or 2) the plat be reconfigured to provide off-setting zero-line and
10-foot sideyard dimensions in order to allow adequate fire access to second stories. Both
of these options would ensure that a minimum 10-foot wide, free and clear space is
provided between structures on at least one side of the stIucture.
2. The Commission and Council shall review the proposed workout centers and swimming
pool to consider if these amenities meet the intent of the PD Ordinance.
3. There is a potential conflict between the Fire Department's condition # 11 requITIng
standard building setbacks and the proposed setbacks of 5-feet for two-story construction.
The Commission and Council should be aware of this discrepancy and any motion should
correct this discrepancy.
SITE SPECIFIC COMMENTS (Conditional Use Permitl
1. Applicant shall meet all of the requirements of the preliminary plat as a condition of the
Conditional Use Permit.
2. Applicant shall submit a Certificate of Zoning Compliance application for the proposed
common/park lot and its associated amenities prior to applying for building permits.
3. If the companion CUP/PD application is approved to allow 10-foot street side setbacks, a
condition of this plat shall be that all structures constructed within 20 feet of a side street
shall provide at least one window of at least six (6) square feet in size.
4. All development shall comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Fair
Housing Act.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff strongly supports the open corridor and greenspace design of the entry road. We also
believe the higher density use across from future Bridgetower Crossing office uses and being less
than a half mile from a future high school site is a good use. We also support the creative house
product types in the CUPIPD and the integrated detached/attached dwellings. As stated, we do
have some concerns with the connectivity to abutting parcels. Overall, we support this
development.
However, given the following outstanding issues, staff is recommending the P&Z Commission
continue the public hearing so a revised Preliminary Plat can be prepared and reviewed prior to
the City Council hearings:
a) Stub street locations on the east boundary and the potential design modification;
b) Pedestrian connection to the Converse parcel to the north;
c) Street buffer width along Linder Road;
d) Per #13 under Preliminary Plat, the redesign of the townhouse lots and fronting street
configuration;
e) Any pending discussion and/or design issues related to the reduced sideyard setbacks.
f) Treatment of existing ditches crossing the property.

The following will be the requirements and/or concerns to provide minimum levels offue
protection for the proposed project:
1. One and two family dwellings will require a fire-flow of 1,000 gallons per
minute available for a duration of 2 hours to service the entire project. Fire
hydrants shall be placed an average of 400' apart. 1997 UFC Appendix
III-A
2. Acceptance of the water supply for fire protection will be by the Meridian
Water Department.
3. Final Approval of the fire hydrant locations shall be by the Meridian Fire
Department.

second point of access to the project. UFC 902.2.1 Revised plans that have
been submitted indicate a connection on the East end of the project.
9. The proposed 73-lot subdivision with an estimated 2.9 residents per
household would have a total estimated population of 211 residents at build
out. The Meridian Fire Department has experienced 2069 responses in the
year 2000 and 2251 calls for service in 200 I. According to a report
completed by Fire & Emergency Services Consulting Group in February of
