Statement describing the characteristics of the subject property which make the zoning amendment desirable. The proximity of the subject properties to public services makes the annexation and zoning of the properties desiraQle. Located just 1 Y2 miles from downtown Meridian, the properties are within 1 mile off our of the top five employers in the City of Meridian. They are in close proximity to a number of neighborhood and regional shopping centers, including the Central Valley Business Center, Meridian Crossroads, and the Boise Town Square Mall. And, have essential infrastructure on or near by the properties. In addition, the properties have excellent access to the interstate, at either Eagle or Meridian Road. ". - ~I . The proximity of the proposed Woodbridge Subdivision (application to be filed) to these services will allow for a better quality of life for the communities' residents, as less time will be spent in route to their destinations. Furthermore, the un-quantifiable cost of development on the community at large will be minimized due to its proximity to public utilities and infrastructure. ~ 10. A statement outlining the necessity or desirability of development pertaining to the zoning amendment and its harmony with adjacent development. . The development of the subject properties is desirable in that it will provide for a high quality residential community that is in close proximity to public services, As suggested by the Comprehensive Plan, the properties are proposed to be developed at a higher density than the residential developments to the north, south and east. As a single-family development, the community will provide a compatible land use in an area that is experiencin! a transition to higher intensity land uses. Commercial and office developments along Eagle Road to the east; Franklin Road to the north; and, the Central Valley Business Center to the west is threatening the viability of the existing residential developments. At the same time, this development pattern is pushing the cost of land up to a point where single family residential development is not feasible. Development of the subject properties as a slightly higher density single-family residential community will protect the existing residential development from the intrusion of incompatible land uses. 11. A statement of how the proposed zoning amendment relates to the City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan. The proposed zoning amendment is consistent with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan in that the requested zoning and proposed development plan on the subject properties is consistent with the goals and policies of the Land Use, Population Growth, Economic Development, and Transportation chapters of the plan. The proposed development is also consistent with specific design oriented goals and policies as they relate to natural resources and hazardous areas; open space, parks and recreation; housing; and, community design. A detailed analysis of the Meridian Comprehensive Plan is attached. 12. One map (of a scale of 1" = 200' as authorized by Brad Hawkins Smith on 8/27/99) identifying the property to be annexed. . 13. Thirty (30) copies of a vicinity map. l' = 300' :;I: 14. Mailing list of property owners within 300'. (Attached) 15. Application fee. $ 1,630.00 (fee) $ 190.30 (Certified mailings) 16.

Supplemental information and illustrations will be submitted to staff prior to hearings to further support the Conditional Use application. The applicant listed on the attached applications is Woodbridge Community, LEC, a company that is managed by O'Neill Enterprises, Inc. (OEI). OEI is a local development and home building company that has demonstrated a unique ability to create communities of lasting value. Past successful communities include River Run, Spring Meadow, Meadow Creek, and Surprise Valley in Boise, Idaho; Lane Ranch in Sun Valley, Idaho; and, Spring Mountain Ranch in McCall, Idaho. We look forward to the opportunity of adding Woodbridge to this list of distinguished communities, The proposed Woodbridge community will consist of 283 single-family homes on an 80-acre parcel just one and one-half miles from downtown Meridian.

Active and passive open spaces will be located throughout the community including a landscaped buffer along Five Mile Creek, which bisects the property. A community center featuring a clubhouse, children's play area and pool will be developed adjacent to the creek. A large open field area designed to accommodate active recreation will also be located in close proximity to the community center. A pathway system, radiating out from the community center, will interconnect neighborhoods and provide residents with recreational opportunities. i~~ I am pleased to submit these applications to the City of Meridian and look forward to working with the staff, the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council as we work through the application process together.
