RECOMMENDATION
The Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission hereby recommends to the City Council
of the City of Meridian that they approve the requested annexation and zoning as requested by
the applicant for the property described in the application, subject to the following:
Adopt the Recommendations of the Planning and Zoning and Engineering staff as
follows:
1.The legal description submitted with the application appears to meet the requirements
of the City of Meridian and State Tax Commission and places the parcel contiguous
to existing city limits.
2.Access to sanitary sewer will be a challenge for the applicant. There isn’t a sewer
main in Ustick Road adjacent to the subject site, but there does appear to be several
options for sanitary sewer service in the vicinity. Additional study will need to be
done by the applicant to determine the best alternatives for service. Information on
the options available can be obtained from the Public Works Department.
3.Domestic water service to this site shall be via an existing 12-inch diameter main
adjacent to the site in Ustick Road.
4.The requested zoning of L-O is compatible with City Comprehensive Plan.
5.The subject property is within the Urban Service Planning Area. Essential City
services are or will be available to the subject property.
6.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.
7.A Certificate of Zoning Compliance shall be obtained from the City of Meridian prior
to construction of a church on the subject property. All other uses shall be required to
go though the conditional use permit process.

right-of-way. Coordinate the location and elevation of the sidewalk with District
staff.

match the existing improvements.

damaged during the construction of the proposed development.

approved in writing by the District.

of pavement of Ustick Road with 15-foot curb radii pavement tapers abutting the

5.All turning radii shall be a minimum of 28' inside and 48' outside.

our requests for service are projected to reach 2800 in the year 2005 and 3800 by the year
2010, this is up from 2069 responses in the year 2000.
