RE: Whitefish DA Modification Narrative for 4120 &4096 N Linder Road
Dear Planning and Zoning Commission, Mayor and Council:
Biltmore Company LLC is submitting the following application for a Rama Group LLC property
at 4096&4120 N Linder Road,part of the Ledges Business Center Subdivision, as Lots 1-2 Block
1.
We are requesting a Development Agreement Modification on this property to correct what we
believe was an error in the allowable uses under the property's original development agreement,
and would ask that it now include personal services to expand the variety of businesses available
to serve the community in this location,as is standard for L-O zoning and supported in parts of the
original agreement.
We ask that the allowable uses of the property be read as;
• Uses within the subdivision be limited to professional and sales offices, personal services,
clinics (medical, dental, and optical), and health care or social services, or a day care
center with a Conditional use Permit.
Narrative:
The Ledges Business Center Short Plat went through Meridian review in 2022 and was recorded
in 2023. Staff noted the existing parcel received annexation and preliminary plat approval in
2006, known as Whitewater Subdivision (also known as Redfish). IN the Staff Report for SHP-
2022-0015, as part of the Meridian Planning Division Site Specific Conditions #1 of the Ledges
Business Center Short Plat approval, the "Applicant shall comply with all previous conditions of
approval associated with this development: AZ-05-021 (Whitewater Subdivision, f.k.a Redfish
Subdivision; DA Inst. #106165912); A-2020-0203 (MBG Office Building CZC & DES)."
Additionally, Site Specific Condition A. Planning Division—Site Specific Condition 4.a. states
"Add a plat note stating the subdivision is subject to the existing Development Agreement and
include the DA instrument number(DA Inst. #106165912)."

With these two conflicting records of the early recorded documents, we ask for staff s support in
modifying the allowable uses in the Ledges Business Park. This revision remains in
conformance with the Comprehensive Plan and City of Meridian UDC requirements, as it
clarifies the record of allowable uses in the subdivision under the L-O zoning.
The proposed modification will not alter the previously approved public utility demands and
would still require individual buildings and/or building tenants to make individual applications to
operate in the Subdivision.
In discussions with staff and as outlined in the Staff Report SHP-2022-0015 Ledges Business
Center Short Plat, Section VII—City/Agency Comments & Conditions,A. Planning
Division Site Specific Conditions, Item 6—"Lot 2, Block 1 is a non-buildable lot until such
time as the existing storage building is removed, converted to an office use, OR remains as an
accessory storage building to the new office building on said lot with a future CZC and DES
application." The subdivision is required to comply with the identified planning conditions. This
proposed DA Mod and any future building will comply with this condition. Per the condition, the
existing accessory storage building will remain as an accessory storage building to any new
office building on Lot 2 with future CZC and DES application. As discussed with staff, we
agree that the accessory building will not be able to be leased for any 3rd party public storage use.
Thank you for allowing Biltmore Company to work with you on another successful project for
the City of Meridian.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
