II. APPLICANT INFORMATION A. Applicant: Macy Lui, The Land Group—462 E. Shore Dr., Ste. 100, Eagle, ID 83616 B. Owner: Challenger Development,Inc.— 1977 E. Overland Rd.,Meridian,ID 83642 C. Representative: Same as applicant III. STAFF ANALYSIS The preliminary plat(H-2020-0083) for Southridge South subdivision was approved by City Council in 2021. At the time,the applicant proposed 6-foot-tall chain link fencing along the Ridenbaugh Canal to preserve public safety in accord with UDC 11-3A-6C to match existing fencing in Southridge Subdivision. There was a lengthy discussion by City Council pertaining to the fencing type and shared opinion that chain link was not a desirable material for aesthetic reasons; therefore, black wrought iron fencing was specifically required to be constructed adjacent to the City's multi- use pathway along the Ridenbaugh Canal in this development. The landscape plans submitted with the final plat(FP-2021-0059) application did not reflect the Page 1 required fencing type;therefore,a condition of approval was included for the plans to be revised accordingly. The final plat is now under review for City Engineer signature and cannot be signed unless the plan is revised to comply with this condition or the condition is modified by City Council. The proposed chain link fence has already been constructed on the site without approval from the Planning Division. The Applicant states in their application narrative that Nampa Meridian Irrigation District(NMID) required fence posts to be installed in sleeves to allow the fence to be easily removed when/if NMID needs access to their easement for the canal.A letter from Butte Fence,the Applicant's fence contractor,was included in the narrative stating they could only meet this"removable"requirement with chain link fencing. The Applicant requests City Council's approval to modify final plat condition#5d, as follows: The fencing type along the Ridenbaugh Canal shall be black wrought iren open vision vinyl- coated chain link as require approved by City Council with MFP-2025-0002; depict accordingly. IV. DECISION A. Staff: Staff finds the Applicant's proposal complies with UDC 11-3A-6C,which requires open irrigation canals to be fenced with an open vision fence at least six(6)feet in height and having an 11-guage,two-inch mesh or other construction, equivalent in ability to deter access to said canal. Because City Council was the decision-making body who required wrought iron fencing, City Council should determine if the proposed change is acceptable. B. City Council: City Council approved the Applicant's request as proposed. Page 2 V. EXHIBITS A.
