Thank you for providing the staff report for Apex Cadence (H-2024-0061). We agree with the staff and Commission
recommendation for approval with the following modifications:
IV. City/Agency Comments and Conditions:
A.1.c. The northern portion of the subject property to be rezoned (Parcel #S1406110016) shall be incorporated
into a subsequent plat that includes the adjacent Murgoitio parcel (Parcel #S1406110110) located directly to the
east, prior to submittal of any building permit applications for that portion of said property. , to establish a legal
division of land for development purposes.
Reasoning: We do not own or control the Murgoitio property and therefore should not be forced to
incorporate it into our project.
A.1.e. The subject property shall be subdivided prior to submittal of any building permit applications for the
development except for permits associated with community amenities, including but not limited to pool, pool
house, and gazebos.
Reasoning: To have amenities installed and active for residents, we need to be able to start construction
ahead of final plat signature. This is especially important when we need to construct certain aspects ahead
of winter weather.
A.2.vi. (note only) Alternative compliance application has been submitted which will remove this condition, if
approved.
A.2.vii. (note only) The majority of the Watkins Drain will be tiled, any portion that is not, we will ensure is a
minimum of 10 feet from the pathway.
2.o. Prior to submittal of the first final plat application signature of the Phase 5 final plat, the property boundary
adjustment between Parcel #S1406131700, S1406427800, S1406417700 and S1406110355 shall be finalized. The
Applicant shall submit proof of such in the form of an approval letter from Ada County and a recorded Record of
Survey.
Reasoning: The process for completing this task is outside of our control - Ada County and the rightful
property owner must complete these tasks. It is unfair to hold our project outside of our control.
Additionally, the only phase of the project affected by the adjustment is phase 6.
2.p. The 10-foot-wide detached sidewalks along S. Locust Grove Rd. and E. Via Roberto St. shall be constructed in
their entirety with the first phase of development. at the time the adjacent phase is constructed.
1
Reasoning: The sidewalk will not connect to any existing infrastructure and needs to be constructed with
each phase to make sure the roadway and grading is accurate, so the sidewalk is at the appropriate height
and slope.
2.q. The 10-foot wide multi-use pathway along the Rawson Canal shall be constructed in its entirety with the
second phase of development. at the time the adjacent phase is constructed.
Reasoning: Again, the pathway will not connect to anything existing and should be constructed in
concurrence with the phase it will provide connection for.
