APPLICATIONS SUMMARY
The applicant(s), Crestline Development, LLC., are requesting Annexation, Rezone and
Preliminary Plat approval of an eighty (80) lot subdivision (73 building lots and 7 "other lots) on
38.65 acres of land located on the south side of Chinden Blvd., approximately II, a mile east of
Ten Mile Road; the requested zoning designation for the subject property is R-4. One of the
building lots within the proposed subdivision (Lot 30, Block 3) will be sold to the Joint School
District No.2 as an elementary school site.
The single-family building lots within the proposed subdivision range from a minimum of 8,000
square feet up to approximately 23,000 square feet. The "other" lots within the subdivision
consist of common landscape/drainage lots and a tot lot to be owned and maintained by the
Home Owners Association. The net density of the proposed subdivision project is approximately
1.9 d.u./acre.
LOCATION
The property is located at 2683 Chinden Blvd, located on the south side of Chinden Blvd,
approximately 1/2 of a mile east ofTen Mile Road, just to the west of Lochsa Falls Subdivision.

SURROUNDING PROPERTIES
North: Rural residentiaVagricultural properties, zoned RUT (Ada County), and a Golf Course.
West: Rural residential, zoned RUT (Ada County).
East: Lochsa Falls Subdivision, zoned R-4.
South: Lochsa Falls Subdivision, zoned R-4
OWNER OF RECORD
The property owners ofrecord are Donald and Jean Hobbs and they have provided notarized
consent for the submission of the annexation and preliminary plat applications.
ANNEXATION & ZONING ANALYSIS
According to Ordinance 11-15-11, General Standards Applicable to Zoning Amendments, both
the P&Z Commission and Council are required "to review the particular facts and circumstances
of each proposed zoning amendment in terms of the following standards and shall find adequate
evidence answering the following questions about the proposed zoning amendment."
The following is the list of standards found in 11-15-11 and analysis by staff:
A. Will the new zoning be harmonious with and in accordance with the
Comprehensive Plan and, if not, has there been an application for a
Comprehensive Plan amendment;
Staff finds that the requested zoning designation ofR-4 is harmonious with and in
accordance with the City's Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map which
depicts the majority of the subject property as "Low Density Residential" with a
small portion of "Medium Density Residential" located on the southern portion of
the property.
In accordance with the Comprehensive Plan the applicant has provided larger lots
(low density, less than 3 dwelling units/per acre) on the northern portion of the
property and smaller (medium density, 3-8 dwelling units/per acre) lots on the
southern portion of the property. As noted above, the density for the overall
project is approximately 1.9 dwelling units/per acre. It should be further added
that the Comprehensive Plan states that the applicant may request a "one step"
increase from medium to high density without a formal Comprehensive Plan
Amendment. Staff supports the proposed densities as meeting the intent of the
Comprehensive Plan.
Furthermore, the applicant has made available for purchase, a school site for the
Joint School District No. 2 on the subject property. This is important to note
because the larger Lochsa Falls Subdivision to the east did not provide a school
site within their development due to the inclusion of a community park (25-30
acres) within the subdivision.
B.
Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be rezoned in the
future;
AZ-02-0JO,
PP-02..()31
Silverlaar.AZ.PP
Planning & Zoning CommissionfMayor & City Council
January 27,2003
Page 3
Staff does not anticipate that the applicant intends to rezone the subject property
in the future.
C. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be developed in the
fashion that would be allowed under the new zoning - for example, a
residential area turning into a commercial area by means of conditional use
permits;
Staff fmds that the proposed single-family detached housing and elementary
school use are pennitted uses in the requested R-4 zone.
D. Has there been a change in the area or adjacent areas which may dictate that
the area should be rezoned. For example, have the streets been widened, new
railroad access been developed or planned or adjacent area being developed
in a fashion similar to the proposed rezone area;
Staff fmds that land to the south and east is being developed in a manner similar
to the proposed subdivision. Staff also finds that the requested zoning designation
of R-4 is hannonious with the recently approved adjacent development (Lochsa
Falls), also zoned R-4.
E. Will the proposed uses be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to
be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing or intended
character of the general vicinity and that such use will not change the
essential character of the same area;
Staff finds that the proposed uses (lower density single family residential and
public school) are designed appropriately to match with the existing and intended
character of the general vicinity.
F. Will the proposed uses not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future
neighboring uses;
The Commission and Council should rely on public testimony to detennine
whether or not the proposed use will be disturbing or hazardous to the existing or
future neighboring uses.
Staff does not anticipate that the proposed residential and public school uses will
be hazardous or disturbing to future or existing neighbors, assuming that the
recommended conditions of approval are complied with.
G.
Will the area be served adequately by essential public facilities and services
such as highways, streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures,
refuse disposal, water, sewer or that the person responsible for the
AZ.02-030,
PP~2-031
Silverleaf.AZ.PP
Planning & Zoning CommissionlMayor & City Council
January 27,2003
Page 4
AZ..o2-030,
PP-432-031
establishment of proposed zoning amendment shall be able to provide
adequately any of such services;
Staff finds that the property to be annexed cannot currently be served adequately
by all essential public facilities and services. Public road access to the
subdivision is non-existent, and is totally dependent on the development of future
phases of the Lochsa Falls project; furthermore, water service is also dependent
on the future phases of Lochsa Falls. Permanent sanitary sewer service to this
development is to be provided by the undeveloped "North" Black Cat service
area. The applicant proposes temporarily pumping the sewage generated within
the development to a discharge point in the future phases of Lochsa Falls.
Additional rirt of way will be needed for Chinden Blvd per lID-letter dated
December 30 , 2002.
The Commission and Council should review ACHD, ITD, Police and Fire
Department's comments concerning this subdivision for further information
regarding public services.
H. Will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public
facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of
the community;
Staff finds that there will not be excessive additional requirements at public cost
and that the annexation and zoning will not be detrimental to the community's
economic welfare.
I. Will the proposed uses not involve uses, activities, processes, materials,
equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any
persons, property or the general welfare by reason of excessive production of
traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors;
Staff recognizes the fact that traffic and noise will increase with the approval of
this subdivision; however staff does not anticipate that the amount of noise and
traffic generated by this subdivision will be detrimental to the public welfare of
the city.
J. Will the area have vehicular approaches to the property which shall be so
designed as not to create an interference with traffic on surrounding public
streets;
Staff finds that the subdivision's local road connection to the proposed collector
within Lochsa Falls Subdivision will create additional traffic on Chinden Blvd
and other surrounding roadways, however; staff believes that the subdivision
entrance will not cause significant interference on the surrounding public streets.
SilvcrleafAZ,PP
Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council
January 27,2003
Page 5
Please review ACHD comments concerning vehicular approaches and traffic
generation.
K. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic
feature of major importance; and
Staff finds that no natural or scenic features of major importance will be lost or
damaged by approving the annexation and re-zone. Any existing trees larger than
4" caliper that are removed shall be mitigated for, per the Landscape Ordinance.
L. Is the proposed zoning amendment in the best interest of the City of
Meridian. (Ord. 592, 11-17-1992)?
Staff finds that the annexation of this property would be in the best interest of the
City.
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS (ANNEXATION)
I. Timing of Development: The proposed Silverleaf Subdivision is entirely dependant upon
the construction of improvements within the recently approved Lochsa Falls Subdivision
for vehicular access (public streets) and public utilities (i.e. sewer and water). Staff
anticipates the construction of these public improvements in the near future, however
there is no set time-table for their construction. If public roads and public services are not
available to the subject property at time of annexation the property will not be
developable until the adjacent development constructs the required public improvements.
2. Sanitary Sewer Lift Station: The proposed Silverleaf Subdivision falls within the
"North" Black Cat Sewer service area. Although this service area is within the Urban
Service Planning Boundary, it is not currently being served by City of Meridian, and no
plans are being developed at this time for trunk line installation. The applicant of this
project proposes "temporarily" pumping waste from this development into the North
Slough service area, within a future phase of Lochsa Falls. Staff does not support the
"temporary" lift station concept without plans being in place, and a time line being set for
permanent service via the proper "North" Black Cat Trunk.
ANNEXATION AND ZONING COMMENTS
1. 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.
2. A Development Agreement will be required for this annexation. The development agreement
will address, among other things, the proposed sanitary sewer lift station, proposed tot lot
equipment, the School District land dedication and service hook up of the existing house.

PRELIMINARY PLAT FINDINGS AND REOUlREMENTS
Sections 12-3-3 J.2 and 12-3-5 D read as follows: "In determining the acceptance of a proposed
subdivision, the Commission/Council shall consider the objectives of this title and at least the
following:
a. The conformance of the subdivision with the Comprehensive Development Plan;
Staff finds the subdivision to be in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan.
b. The availability of public services to accommodate the proposed development;
Staff finds that public services are not yet available to accommodate the proposed
development. Public street access and public utilities may be provided upon construction
of improvements within the adjacent Lochsa Falls Subdivision.
c. The continuity of the proposed development with the capital improvement
program;
Staff finds that the subdivision will not require the expenditure of capital improvement
funds.
d. The public financial capability of supporting services for the proposed
development;
Staff finds that the development will not require major expenditures for providing
supporting services.
e. The other health, safety or environmental problems that may be brought to the
Commission's attention.
Staff finds that there should not be any other health, safety or environmental problems
associated with this subdivision that may be brought to the Council or Commission's
attention.
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
1. Five Percent (5%) Ooen Space Requirement: Meridian City Code Section 12-13-16-2
requires all single-family residential subdivisions over five (5) acres in size to provide at
least five percent (5%) of the gross developable land as common open space. The
proposed subdivision (minus the elementary school lot) provides just 2% of the gross
developable land as open space. In order to justify the reduced open space the applicant is
proposing to donate, rather than sell, approximately 1.2 acres of the land to be developed
as a future elementary school (Lot 30, Block 3). The applicant has also provided a
pathway connection from within the subdivision to connect with the future school site.
AZ.02.(1)O.
PP-02..()JI
Silvcrlcar.AZ.PP
Planning & Zoning CommissionlMayor & City Council
January 27,2003
Page 7
If the applicant is allowed to count the land to be donated as part of their required open
space, the applicant would meet the City's minimum five percent (5%) open space
requirement. The proposed 1.2 acres of land to be donated to the School District will not
be developed until the new school can be built in this location, therefore the open space
may not be improved or usable for several years.
The applicant's proposal to count land dedicated to the school as open space does not
meet the requirements of the City Code and will require the applicant to obtain a variance
from the City Council for this section of code. If a variance is not obtained from the
Council, the applicant will need to revise the plat to be in accordance with section 12- 13-
16-2 of the MCC. Please see site specific condition of approval number 11 below.
2. Block Length: Blocks 3 and 4 exceed the maximum block length of 1,000 feet per MCC
12-4-5. The applicant has submitted a revised plat that has provides an additional stub-
street to the west that will reduce the Block 4 to less than 1,000 feet in length.
A variance will be needed for Block 3 to exceed 1,000 feet. Please see site specific
condition of approval number 10 below. If a variance is not approved the plat will need to
be modified to be in compliance with MCC 12-4-5.
3. Simpson Lateral and Other Waterways: The applicant has not submitted information
regarding the tiling of the Simpson Lateral that runs through the center of the proposed
subdivision or for the ditch that appears to run along the southern boundary of the
subdivision. Furthermore, there are no easements depicted on the plat regarding these
waterways. The applicant shall indicate any easements that exist for these waterways on
the plat and shall be responsible for the tiling of the waterways per MCC 12-4- 13A.2.
Please see site specific condition of approval number 7 below.
4. Highwav 20/26 (Chinden Blvd) Corridor Preservation: The Idaho Transportation
Department (ITD) has submitted a letter to the City of Meridian (dated 12-30-02)
requesting that the City help to preserve the 20/26 corridor by adopting one of the
following conditions:
A. 120 feet each side of centerline (240 feet total) to provide width for a
future frontage road, or
B. 70 feet each side of centerline (140 feet total) if the developer provides
an internal frontage (or "backage") road type system to feeder roads.
The submitted plat does not accommodate either of the requests of ITD. The proposed
subdivision would not accommodate a frontagelbackage road in its current configuration.
The location of the elementary school adjacent to Chinden Blvd would prohibit a
frontage road being built in the future to parallel the highway. The properties to the west
of the proposed subdivision will not be allowed to have access to Chinden Blvd (per ITD
policy) and a frontagelbackage road would provide additional access to the parcels to the
AZ.o2.0JO,
PP~.o31
Silver[eaf.AZ.PP
Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council
January 27, 2003
Page 8
west. A frontagelbackage road would allow the buildings to front towards Chinden in the
future.
If the City allows buildings to be built within the corridor it may make the future
widening of the highway and construction of a frontage road adjacent to the highway cost
prohibitive.
The recently approved Lochsa Falls included a "backage" road that runs parallel to
Chinden Blvd with office and commercial lots adjacent to Chinden; additionally the road
provides connectivity to the parcel on the southwest comer of Chinden and Linder.
Staff recognizes that revising the plat will significantly alter the lot configuration and
could affect the proposed location of the school site. Nonetheless, staff recommends
revising the plat to accommodate either of the conditions provided by ITD as noted
above. This recommendation is repeated again at the conclusion of this report.
5. Street Buffer Landscaoing: The proposed 3 0 feet oflandscaping adjacent to Chinden
Blvd does not meet the minimum 35 foot buffer width required for landscape buffers
adjacent to entryway corridors (per MCC 12-13-10-4). Please refer to site specific
condition of approval number 8 below.
6. Storm Water Integration: The City has had problems recently with DEQ requiring
bentonite or other impermeable treatments to the surface of stormwater detention swales,
in areas that were originally required as useable open space, due to shallow groundwater
issues. Such treatments have rendered the open spaces unusable as a wetlboggy area with
a semi-permanent water level. If depth to groundwater becomes an issue in this
subdivision in the future and D EQ requires such surfacing, such areas shall not be
counted toward the required open space calculation. The proposed landscape plan shows
all common areas fully landscaped. The applicant should be able to testify at the hearing
whether it is still anticipated that the common areas can be fully landscaped as usable
open space, as currently shown, based on existing groundwater information.
7. Sanitary Sewer Lift Station: The proposed sanitary lift station is currently located on a
single family building lot (Lot 18, Block 4). The lift station will need to be located on its
own lot and will require a note on the plat indicating ownership and maintenance. Please
see site specific condition of approval number 8 below.
8. Tot Lot: The applicant has indicated a "tot lot" on Lot 29, Block 3 of the proposed
preliIDinary plat, but has not provided any information regarding any equipment or design
feature that would separate this lot from any of the other open space lots within the
subdivision. The applicant should be prepared to address the design and construction of
the tot lot. If play equipment is included within the lot it should be bonded for prior to
signature on the final plat and installed prior to the issuance of occupancy permits.

9 Phasing: Phase lines have not been indicated on the preliminary plat, and if it is the
applicant's desire to phase the project phase lines will need to be added to the plat. Please
see site specific condition of approval number 9 below.
10. School Site: The proposed elementary school site is not a part of the recently approved
school construction bond and is not scheduled for construction at this time. The use of
the school site to meet open space requirements should be weighed in regards to the fact
that the school may not be built for several years.
SITE SPECIFIC COMMENTS I PRELIMINARY PLAT

RECOMMENDATION
Staff supports the proposed lower density single-family dwelling and public school uses at this
location; however staff has concerns with the current lack of public facilities and improvements
(i.e. water/sewer/public road access) adjacent to the proposed subdivision, in addition to
concerns for the preservation of the Highway 20/26 traffic corridor. Based on the lack of public
roads or utilities to serve the subject land, staff recommends denial of the requested annexation.
If the Commission does recommend approval of the requested annexation, staff recommends
adopting the recommended conditions of the rrD regarding the preservation of the Highway
20/26 corridor. Adoption of this recommendation will require substantial redesign of the
proposed project. Therefore, staff would recommend continuing the public hearings to allow the
applicant to re-design the preliminary plat to accommodate the requests of lTD.

FROM: Joseph Silva, Deputy Chief, Fire Prevention
SUBJECT: Crestline Development- Silverleaf Subdivision PP 02-031
The following will be the requirements and/or concerns to provide minimum levels of fire
protection for the proposed project:
1. That a fue-flow consistent with the Uniform Fire Code be provided to service the
entire project. Fire hydrants shall be placed an average of 400' apart. 1997 UFC
Appendix III-A
2. Operational fire hydrants and temporary or permanent street signs are required
before combustible construction begins. UFC 901.4.2 & 901.3
3. Acceptance of the water supply for fue protection will be by the Meridian Water
Department.
4. Final Approval of the fire hydrant locations shall be by the Meridian Fire
Department.
5. All internal roads shall have a minimum radius of28' inside and 48' outside radius.
6. The roadways shall be built to Ada County Highway Standards. UFC 902.2.1
7. An approved turn-around is required for any dead-ends over 150'.
8. On street parking shall be restricted to one side on all streets to provide a minimum of a
20' clear driving surface available at all times.
9. A minimum of two points of access will be required for any portion of the project,
which serves more than 30 homes. UFC 902.2.1
10. The proposed 72-lot subdivision with an estimated 2.9 residents per household
would have a total estimated population of 208 residents at build out. The school
site will have an unknown transient population and will have an unknown impact on
Meridian Fire Department call volumes. The Meridian Fire Department has
experienced 2069 responses in the year 2000 and 2251 calls for service in 200 I.
According to a report completed by Fire & Emergency Services Consulting Group
in February of 2000 our requests for service are projected to reach 2800 in the year
2005 and 3800 by the year 2010.
II. The proposed project lies outside the five-minute response zone goal.
Achievement of this goal is subject to budgetary constraints and is intended to
enhance the probability of a favorable outcome on a request for Basic Life
Support. The budget constraints are typically defined as capital outlay for
facilities that are located within 1.5 miles from a given location and sufficient
operational funds to staff the facilities.

Dear Planners:
The Meridian School District has experienced phenomenal student growth the last ten
years. The high schools, middle schools, and elementary schools throughout the district
are operating over capacity.
Approval ofSilverleafSubdivision will have a significant impact on school enrollments
at Ponderosa Elementary. Eagle Middle. and Eagle High School.
We can predict that these homes, when completed, will house twenty-two (22) elementary
aged children, twenty (20) middle school aged children, and fifteen (15) senior high aged
students. Additional students will further compound the current overcrowded situation.
Residents cannot be assured of attending the neighborhood school, as it may be necessary
to bus students to other schools across the district.
School capacity is addressed in Idaho Code 67-6508. The Meridian School District is
currently operating beyond capacity. Future development will continue to have an impact
on the district's capacity. If you have any questions, please contact me at 888-6701.
Sincerely,
~~
Supervisor of Facilities and Construction

Re: Highway 20/26 Corridor - Silverleaf Subdivision
US 20-26 has been designated a Principle Arterial. The Idaho Transportation Department would
like the City of Meridian to help us preserve this corridor by recognizing the following
conditions. Future right of way widths will be as follows:
A) 120 feet each side of centerline (240 feet total) to provide width for a future frontage
road, or
B) 70 feet each side of centerline (140 feet total) if the developer provides an internal
frontage road type system to feeder roads.
Access to a Principle Arterial Type IV will be public road intersections only, and spaced at one
mile intervals in rural areas and one-half mile intervals in urban areas. Approaches (other than
public road intersections) may be permitted in special cases and on a temporary basis as follows:
(1) Allowed until state highway system is improved by a construction project at which time
an access will be provided to the property, which does not access the state highway
system.
(2) Shall be recorded at the County Recorders Office.
_ ___(3) Temporary aCcess restrictions will be noted on the permit _
Building setbacks from the proposed right of way widths will allow for expansion of the
highway system. Noise abatement (berms, fences, etc.) will be the responsibility of the developer
and will be constructed off of the state right of way.
If you have any questions please call me at 334-8340.

A. Findings of Fact
1. Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate 710 additional vehicle trips per day (10
existing) based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual.
2. Impact Fees: There will be an impact fee that will be assessed based on the impact fee ordinance in
effect at that time. The impact fee will be due prior to the issuance of a building permit.
3. Traffic Impact Study: A traffic impact study was not required with this application. The following is a
summary of the North Meridian Traffic Impael Study:
The proposed 12-square mile study area between US 20/26 and Ustick Road and between
McDermott Road and Eagle Road (Sections 25-28, 33-36 of T4N R1W and seelions 29-32 of T4N
R1E), is selected Ada County Highway Distriel (ACHD) for anticipated development build out. The
following are the principal findings and recommendations of the study:
. By the year 2020 the study area is anticipated to develop an additional 17,599 dwelling units,
2,744,000 sq. ft of office buildings, 1,929,000 sq.ft. of retail buildings, 12 elementary schools, 2
senior high schools, 2 junior high schools, 38,260 sq. ft of church buildings, and approximately 60
acres of park.
. The build out scenario of the study area is projected to generate an average daily traffic (ADT) of
276,764 vehicles per day (vpd), of which the peak hour traffic (PHT) will be 28,206 vehicles per
hour (vph). Out of these trips approximately 10% of the trips remain internal within each section,
and 6% of the trips are pass-by trips.
. The distribution of the traffic from all of the study area seelions indicate that approximately 30%
traffic directed towards south, 27% of the traffic direeled towards east, 21% of the traffic directed
towards west and north. The remaining 22% of the traffic is distributed within the study area.
. At build out, traffic on the arterials is expected to significantly increase (see Table 4).
. All of the arterial intersections in the study area are currently operating at acceptable level of
service of "C" or better.
. By the year 2020, the majority of study intersections are projected to meet the peak hour traffic
signal warrant.
. A proportionate share of the impacts of the individual sections at each of the study area arterial
intersections is summarized in Table 6.
. Several mid-mile intersections may warrant traffic signals due to the heavy left turn traffic volume.
. Chinden Boulevard is forecasted with 5-lane seelion in the study area. Right turns lanes may be
required at some access and arterial intersections.
. McMillan Road is forecasted with a 5-lane section east of Black Cat. McMillan Road is forecasted
with a 3-lane seelion west of Black Cat. At arterial intersections and at access intersections right
turns lanes may be necessary.
. Ustick Road is forecasted with a 5-lane seelion east of Black Cat. Ustick Road is forecasted with a
3-lane section west of Black Cat. At arterial intersections and at access intersections right tums
lanes may be necessary.
. Under Road forecasted with a 5-lane seelion in the study area. At arterial intersections and at
access intersections right tums ianes may be required.
. McDermott Road is forecasted with a 3-lane section in the study area. At arterial intersections and
at access intersections turn lanes may be required.
. Black Cat Road is forecasted with a 3-lane section in the study area. At arterial intersections right
turn lanes may be required.
2
~
. Ten Mile Road is forecasted with a 5-lane section in the study area. At arterial intersections and at
access intersections turn lanes may be required.
. Meridian Road requires a 3-lane section north of McMillan and 5-lane section south of McMillan in
the study area. At arterial intersections right turn lanes may be required.
. Locust Grove Road requires a 3-lane section in the study area. At arterial intersections right turn
lanes may be required. At Ustick Road a 5-lane section is forecasted.

11. Five Year Work Program
There are currently no programs that are scheduled within the District's Five Year Work Program.
12. Other Development in Area
Staff has recently been receiving large amounts of inquiries from developers in the northwest
Meridian area. Many developers are prepared to plat entire section-miles, and have site plans
developed. The preliminary plans generally include upwards of 700 to 900 residential lots, schools,
office/commerciallots, and city and neighborhood parks.
Some of the large developments within the North Meridian Planning area include: Bridgetower
Subdivision, Keltic Heights Subdivision, Baldwin Park Subdivision and Utility Subdivision.
. On October 17, 2001, the Commission approved a rezone application and a sketch plat for Keltic
Heights Subdivision. Keltic Heights Subdivision is proposed to be 1,522 lots. The applicant
proposed 929 residential lots, 8 commercial lots and a 585-unit multi-family subdivision on
452.16-acres.
. On October 17, 2001 the Commission approved a rezone and preliminary plat application for an
8-lot industrial subdivision on 34.6-acres (Utility Subdivision).
. On November 7, 2001 the Commission approved rezone and annexation application for 370.55
acres. The Commission also approved a preliminary plat for 336 lots on 175.91 acres and
conditional use approval for a total of 692 single-family residences, 59 senior housing units, 17
office lots, 10 commercial lots, and an elementary school (Bridgetower Subdivision).
. On February 6, 2002, the Commission approved a preliminary plat application for a 272-lot
residential subdivision on 78-acres (Baldwin Park).
. On April 17, 2002, the Commission approved a preliminary plat application for a 285-lot
subdivision on 75.4 acres (Heritage Commons Subdivision).
. On May 22, 2002, the Commission approved a preliminary plat application for an 876-lot mixed-
use subdivision. The subdivision consisted of 862 single-family dwellings, 171 multi-family
dwellings, 11 office buildings, 1 commercial building, 1 fire station, 1 city park and 1 private park
(LochsaFalls Subdivision).
4
. On July 17, 2002, the Commission approved a request for approval for an annexation and rezone
for a 135,000 square foot Middle School within the Meridian School District.
. On August 21, 2002, the Commission approved a preliminary plat application for a 144-lot
residential subdivision on 43-acres (Sundance Place Subdivision).
. On August 28,2002, the Commission approved a preliminary plat application for a 12-lot
residential subdivision on 5-acres (Drawbridge Subdivision).
. On October 23,2002, the Commission approved an 89-lot residential subdivision on 15.4-acres
(Cobblefield Crossing Subdivision).
. November 6, 2002, the Commission approved a 327-lot residential subdivision and 1 school site
on 119.83-acres (Havasu Creek Subdivision).
. On November 6, 2002, the Commission approved a 3-lot commercial subdivision that is
anticipated to include a new Meridian School District Educational Campus that will include one
elementary school, two senior high charter schools, two senior high professional technical high
schools and one District administration building on 39.23-acres (Education Campus Subdivision).
. On November 20,2002, the Commission approved, Burney Glen Subdivision, a 117-lot single-
family residential subdivision on 35.94-acres
. On November 26, 2002, the Commission approved Cedar Springs North Subdivision, a 229-lot
mixed-use subdivision consisting of 184-single-family residential lots, 12-office lots, 32-common
lots and 1-lot that is anticipated to redevelop into attached single-family residential lots (town
houses).
. On January 8, 2003, the Commission approved Watersong Estates Subdivision, a 125-lot single-
family residential subdivision located on 39.92.
. Staff is currently reviewing an application for a 334-lot mixed-use subdivision located on the north
side of Usick Road just east of Locust Grove Road. This application is expected to be acted upon
in January 2003.
Due to the large number of inquiries and submitted development applications in this area, staff and
the development community realized that the potential for development in this area is extreme and
the traffic impact studies that each individual developer was submitting did not include the major
surrounding developments that are "in the works". If staff examines each development individually,
the roadway system appears adequate, but when staff begins to add in a second or third large-scale
development, the traffic capacities of the surrounding roadways reach their 2020 planning threshoids.
Based on development patterns in this area, and the concern surrounding the abutting roadways,
ACHD hired Washington Group to conduct a traffic impact study of the northwestern Meridian area
from Ustick Road to Chinden Boulevard, and from Meridian Road to one-half mile west of Black Cat
Road.
One option for funding improving these roadways is the implementation of an extra-ordinary impact
fee overlay district. Silverleaf Subdivision may also be subject to any extraordinary fees that the
District may impose.
B. Findings for Consideration
1. Right-of-Way
Chinden Boulevard (State Highway 20/26) is under the jurisdiction of the Idaho Transportation
Department (ITO). The applicant should contact ITD's District III office for any right-of-way
requirements.
5
2. Roadway Offsets
District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 125-feet from
another local roadway (measured centerline to centerline).
District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 150-feet from a
residential collector roadway (measured centerline to centerline).
The remaining internal roadways meet District policy in regard to roadway offsets and should be
approved with this application
3. Street Sections
District policy 7204.4.2 states, "developments with any buildable lot that is less that 1.5-acres in size
will typically provide streets having a minimum pavement width of 32-feet with curb, gutter and
sidewalks. The total street width shall be 36-feet from back-of-curb to back-of-curb. Variations of this
width may be allowed, depending on traffic volumes forecast to be generated by the development.
Concrete sidewalks shall be a minimum of 5-feet in width unless they are separated from the curb 5-
feet or more in which case the sidewalk shall be a minimum of 4-feet in width.
The applicant is proposing to construct the internal roadways as 36-foot street sections with rolled
curb, gutter and 5-foot concrete sidewalk within 50-feet of right-of-way.
4. Stub Streets
District policy 7203.5.1 and 7205.5 requires stub streets to provide intra-neighborhood circulation and
to provide access to adjoining parcels. District policy also requires temporary turnarounds with a
temporary easement provided to the District at the end of stub streets that serve more than one lot, or
are greater than 150-feet in length with a sign at the terminus of the roadway stating that, "THIS
ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE".
The applicant is proposing to extend Kingwood Drive from the east property line approximately 650-
feet north of the south properly line. This stub street was approved with Lochsa Falls Subdivision's
preliminary plat that was approved by the District on May 22, 2002. Staff is supportive of the
extension of this roadway.
The applicant is proposing to extend a stub street from the south properly line approximately 500-feet
west of the east property line. This stub street was approved with Lochsa Falls Subdivision's
preliminary plat that was approved by the District on May 22, 2002. Staff is supportive of the
extension of this roadway.
The applicant is proposing to construct a stub street that extends to the west property line
approximately 620-feet south of Chinden Boulevard. Staff is supportive of the location of this stub
street. Due to the fact that the stub street is greater than one-lot in depth, the applicant should
construct a temporary turnaround at the terminus of the roadway and install a sign at the terminus of
the roadway stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE".
Due to the fact that access to Chinden Boulevard is being restricted by ITD and to provide intra-
neighborhood connectivity, staff believes that the applicant should provide a stub street to the west to
serve the large 40-acre parcel that is currently undeveloped. The applicant should extend Satinwood
Court to the west property line between lot 8 and lot 9 of Block 4. Due to the fact that the stub street
is greater than one-lot in depth and greater than 150-feet in depth, the applicant should construct a
temporary turnaround at the terminus of the roadway and install a sign at the terminus of the roadway
stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE".
6
5. Turnarounds
District policy 7205.2.1 requires turnarounds to be constructed to provide a minimum turning radius of
45-feet. The applicant should also be required to provide a minimum of a 29-foot street section on
either side of any proposed center islands within the turnarounds. The medians should be
constructed a minimum of 4-feet wide to total a minimum of a 1 OO-square foot area. Dedicate 54-feet
of right-of-way plus the additional width of the median.
. The applicant is proposing to construct five turnarounds (without center islands) in the subdivision.
The applicant should provide a minimum turning radius of 45-feet.
6. Surrounding Roadways
Silverleaf Subdivision is proposing to access the public roadway system through Lochsa Falls
Subdivision. Lochsa Falls Subdivision has not completed the final platting process, therefore
Silverleaf Subdivision does not have access to the public roadway system at this time. Due to the
fact that Lochsa Falls Subdivision has not dedicated right-of-way through the recordation of a final
plat, SlIverleaf Subdivision's preliminary plat should be approved contingent upon the right-of-way
within Lochsa Falls being dedicated to the public and the roadways being constructed or a financial
surety in place for the construction of the roadways prior to the signature of the final plat for Silverleaf
Subdivision.
C. Site Specific Conditions of Approval
1. Comply with requirements of ITD for State Highway 20/26 ( Chinden Boulevard) frontage. Submit to
the District a letter from ITD regarding said reqUirements prior to District approval of the final plat or
issuance of a building permit (or other required permits), whichever occurs first. Contact Dan Coonse
or Larry Strough with ITD"s District III office at 208-334-8300.
2. Construct the internal roadways as 36-foot street sections with rolled curb, gutter and 5-foot concrete
sidewalk within 50-feet of right-of-way, as proposed.
3. Extend Kingwood Drive from the east property line approximately 650-feet north of the south property
line, as proposed.
4. Extend a stub street from the south property line approximately 50D-feet west of the east property
line, as proposed.
5. Construct a stub street that extends to the west property line approximately 620-leet south of
Chinden Boulevard, as proposed. Construct a temporary turnaround at the terminus of the roadway
and install a sign at the terminus of the roadway stating that, ''THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN
THE FUTURE".
6. Extend Satinwood Court to the west property line between lot 8 and lot 9 of Block 4. Construct a
temporary turnaround at the terminus of the roadway and install a sign at the terminus of the roadway
stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE".
7. Construct five turnarounds (without center islands) in the subdivision, as proposed. Provide a
minimum turning radius of 45-feet.
7
8. Enter into a development agreement with ACHD that outlines right-of-way acquisition, costs, timing
and payment; and shall also include an agreement that this development shall be subject to any
extraordinary impact fee, LID or other funding source established by the District to improve the
surrounding roadways; or shall be subject to the development's proportionate share of surrounding
roadway improvements as established by the applicant's traffic impact study.
9. Comply with all Standard Conditions of Approval.
D. Standard Conditions of Approval
1. Any existing irrigation facilities shall be relocated outside of the right-of-way.
2. All utility relocation costs associated with improving street frontages abutting the site shall be borne

Request for Reconsideration of Commission Action
1. Request for Reconsideration of Commission Action: A Commissioner, a member of ACHD staff
or any other person objecting to any final action taken by the Commission may request
reconsideration of that action, provided the request is not for a reconsideration of an action previously
requested to be reconsidered, an action whose provisions have been partly and materially carried
out, or an action that has created a contractual relationship with third parties.
a. Only a Commission member who voted with the prevailing side can move for reconsideration,
but the motion may be seconded by any Commissioner and is voted on by all Commissioners
present.
If a motion to reconsider is made and seconded it is subject to a motion to postpone to a
certain time.
b. The request must be in writing and delivered to the Secretary of the Highway District no later
than 3:00 p.m. on the day prior to the Commission's next scheduled regular meeting following
the meeting at which the action to be reconsidered was taken. Upon receipt of the request,
the Secretary shall cause the same to be placed on the agenda for that next scheduled
regular Commission meeting.
c. The request for reconsideration must be supported by written documentation setting forth new
facts and information not presented at the earlier meeting, or a changed situation that has
developed since the taking of the earlier vote, or information establishing an error of fact or
law in the earlier action. The request may also be supported by oral testimony at the meeting.
d. If a motion to reconsider passes, the effect is the original matter is in the exact position it
occupied the moment before it was voted on originally. It will normally be retumed to ACHD
staff for further review. The Commission may set the date of the meeting at which the matter
is to be returned. The Commission shall only take action on the original matter at a meeting
where the agenda notice so provides.
e. At the meeting where the original matter is again on the agenda for Commission action,
interested persons and ACHD staff may present such written and oral testimony as the
President of the Commission determines to be appropriate, and the Commission may take
any action the majority of the Commission deems advisable.
f. If a motion to reconsider passes, the applicant may be charged a reasonable fee, to cover
administrative costs, as established by the Commission.

A. Findings of Fact
1. Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate 710 additional vehicle trips per day (10
existing) based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual.
2. Impact Fees: There will be an impact fee that will be assessed .based on the impact fee ordinance in
effect at that time. The impact fee will be due prior to the issuance of a building permit.
3. Traffic Impact Study: A traffic impact study was not required with this application. The following is a
summary of the North Meridian Traffic Impact Study:
The proposed 12-square mile study area between US 20/26 and Ustick Road and between
McDermott Road and Eagle Road (Sections 25-28, 33-36 of T4N R1W and sections 29-32 of T4N
R1E), is selected Ada County Highway District (ACHD) for anticipated development build out. The
following are the principal findings and recommendations of the study:
. By the year 2020 the study area is anticipated to develop an additional 17,599 dwelling units,
2,744,000 sq. ft of office buildings, 1,929,000 sq.ft. of retail buildings, 12 elementary schools, 2
senior high schools, 2 junior high schools, 38,260 sq. ft of church buildings, and approximately 60
acres of park.
. The build out scenario of the study area is projected to generate an average daily traffic (ADT) of
276,764 vehicles per day (vpd), of which the peak hour traffic (PHT) will be 28,206 vehicles per
hour (vph). Out of these trips approximately 10% of the trips remain internal within each section,
and 6% of the trips are pass-by trips.
. The distribution of the traffic from all of the study area sections indicate that approximately 30%
traffic directed towards south, 27% of the traffic directed towards east, 21% of the traffic directed
towards west and north. The remaining 22% of the traffic is distributed within the study area.
. At build out, traffic on the arterials is expected to significantly increase (see Table 4).
. All of the arterial intersections in the study area are currently operating at acceptable level of
service of "C. or better.
. By the year 2020, the majority of study intersections are projected to meet the peak hour traffic
signal warrant.
. A proportionate share of the impacts of the individual sections at each of the study area arterial
intersections is summarized in Table 6.
. Several mid-mile intersections may warrant traffic signals due to the heavy left tum traffic volume.
. Chinden Boulevard is forecasted with 5-lane section in the study area. Right turns lanes may be
required at some access and arterial intersections.
. McMillan Road is forecasted with a 5-lane section east of Black Cat. McMillan Road is forecasted
with a 3-lane section west of Black Cat. At arterial intersections and at access intersections right
turns lanes may be necessary.
. Ustick Road is forecasted with a 5-lane section east of Black Cat. Ustick Road is forecasted with a
3-lane section west of Black Cat. At arterial intersections and at access intersections right tums
lanes may be necessary.
. Linder Road forecasted with a 5-lane section in the study area. At arterial intersections and at
access intersections right turns lanes may be required.
.. McDermott Road is forecasted with a 3-lane section in the study area. At arterial intersections and
at access intersections turn lanes may be required.
. Black Cat Road is forecasted with a 3-lane section in the study area. At arterial intersections right
turn lanes may be required.
2
,
. Ten Mile Road is forecasted with a 5-lane section in the study area. At arterial intersections and at
access intersections turn lanes may be required.
. Meridian Road requires a 3-lane section north of McMillan and 5-lane section south of McMillan in
the study area. At arterial intersections right turn lanes may be required.
. Locust Grove Road requires a 3-lane section in the study area. At arterial intersections right turn
lanes may be required. At Ustick Road a 5-lane section is forecasted.
4. Site Information: The site currently has one existing single-family residential home.
5. Description of Adjacent Surrounding Area:
a. North: Single-family residential subdivisions (Spurwing Subdvision and Brandt Subdivision)
b. South: Single-family residential subdivisions (Proposed Lochsa Falls SUbdivision)
c. East: Single-family residential subdivisions (Proposed Lochsa Falls Subdivision)
d. West: Two undeveloped parcels (8.16-acres and 37.620-acres)

.12. Other Development in Area
Staff has recently been receiving large amounts of inquiries from developers in the northwest
Meridian area. Many developers are prepared to plat entire section-miles, and have site plans
developed. The preliminary plans generally include upwards of 700 to 900 residential lots, schools,
office/commerciallots, and city and neighborhood parks.
Some of the large developments within the North Meridian Planning area include: Bridgetower
Subdivision, Keltic Heights Subdivision, Baldwin Park Subdivision and Utility Subdivision.
. On October 17, 2001, the Commission approved a rezone application and a sketch plat for Keltic
Heights Subdivision. Keltic Heights Subdivision is proposed to be 1,522 lots. The applicant
proposed 929 residential lots, 8 commercial lots and a 585-unit multi-family subdivision on
452. 16-acres.
. On October 17, 2001 the Commission approved a rezone and preliminary plat application for an
8-lot industrial subdivision on 34.6-acres (Utility Subdivision).
. On November 7, 2001 the Commission approved rezone and annexation application for 370.55
acres. The Commission also approved a preliminary plat for 336 lots on 175.91 acres and
conditional use approval for a total of 692 single-family residences, 59 senior housing units, 17
office lots, 10 commercial lots, and an elementary school (Bridgetower Subdivision).
. On February 6, 2002, the Commission approved a preliminary plat application for a 272-lot
residential subdivision on 78-acres (Baldwin Park).
. On April 17, 2002, the Commission approved a preliminary plat application for a 285-lot
subdivision on 75.4 acres (Heritage Commons Subdivision).
. On May 22, 2002, the Commission approved a preliminary plat application for an 876-lot mixed-
use subdivision. The subdivision consisted of 862 single-family dwellings, 171 multi-family
dwellings, 11 office buildings, 1 commercial building, 1 fire station, 1 city park and 1 private park
(Lochsa Falls Subdivision).
4
. On July 17, 2002, the Commission approved a request for approval for an annexation and rezone
for a 135,000 square foot Middle School within the Meridian School District.
. On August 21,2002, the Commission approved a preliminary plat application for a 144-lot
residential subdivision on 43-acres (Sundance Place Subdivision).
. On August 28,2002, the Commission approved a preliminary plat application for a 12-lot
residential subdivision on 5-acres (Drawbridge Subdivision).
. On October 23, 2002, the Commission approved an 89-lot residential subdivision on 15.4-acres
(Cobblefield Crossing Subdivision).
. November 6,2002, the Commission approved a 327-lot residential subdivision and 1 school site
on 119.83-acres (Havasu Creek Subdivision).
. On November 6, 2002, the Commission approved a 3-lot commercial subdivision that is
anticipated to include a new Meridian School District Educational Campus that will include one
elementary school, two senior high charter schools, two senior high professional technical high
schools and one District administration building on 39.23-acres (Education Campus Subdivision).

mixed-use subdivision consisting of 184-single-family residential lots, 12-office lots, 32-common
lots and 1-lot that is anticipated to redevelop into attached single-family residential lots (town
houses).
. On January 8,2003, the Commission approved Watersong Estates Subdivision, a 125-lot single-
lamily residential subdivision located on 39.92.
. Staff is currently reviewing an application for a 334-lot mixed-use subdivision located on the north
side of Usick Road just east of Locust Grove Road. This application is expected to be acted upon
in January 2003.
Due to the large number of inquiries and submitted development applications in this area, staff and
the development community realized that the potential for development in this area is extreme and
the traffic impact studies that each individual developer was submitting did not include the major
surrounding developments that are "in the works". If staff examines each development individually,
the roadway system appears adequate, but when staff begins to add in a second or third large-scale
development, the traffic capacities of the surrounding roadways reach their 2020 planning thresholds.
Based on development patterns in this area, and the concern surrounding the abutting roadways,
ACHD hired Washington Group to conduct a traffic impact study of the northwestern Meridian area
from Ustick Road to Chinden Boulevard, and from Meridian Road to one-half mile west of Black Cat
Road.
One option for funding improving these roadways is the implementation of an extra-ordinary impact
fee overlay district. Silverleaf Subdivision may also be subject to any extraordinary fees that the
District may impose.
B. Findings for Consideration
1. Right-of-Way
Chinden Boulevard (State Highway 20/26) is under the jurisdiction of the Idaho Transportation
Department (ITD). The applicant should contact ITD's District III office for any right-of-way
requirements.
5
2. Roadway Offsets
District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 125-feet from
another local roadway (measured centerline to centerline).
District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 150-feet from a
residential collector roadway (measured centerline to centerline).
The remaining internal roadways meet District policy in regard to roadway offsets and should be
approved with this application
3. Street Sections
District policy 7204.4.2 states, "developments with any buildable lot that is less that 1.5-acres in size
will typically provide streets having a minimum pavement width of 32-feet with curb, gulter and
sidewalks. The tolal street width shall be 36-feet from back-of-curb to back-of-curb. Variations of this
width may be allowed, depending on traffic volumes forecast to be generated by the development.
Concrete sidewalks shall be a minimum of 5-feet in width unless they are separated from the curb 5-
feet or more in which case the sidewalk shall be a minimum of 4-feet in width.
The applicant is proposing to construct the internal roadways as 36-foot street sections with rolled
curb, gulter and 5-foot concrete sidewalk within 50-feet of right-of-way.
4. Stub Streets
District polley 7203.5.1 and 7205.5 requires stub streets to provide intra-neighborhood circulation and
to provide access to adjoining parcels. District policy also requires temporary turnarounds with a
temporary easement provided to the District at the. end of stub streets that serve more than one lot, or
are greater than 150-feet in length with a sign at the terminus of the roadway stating that, "THIS
ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE".
The applicant is proposing to extend Kingwood Drive from the east property line approximately 650-
feet north of the south property line. This stub street was approved with Lochsa Falls Subdivision's
preliminary plat that was approved by the District on May 22, 2002. Staff is supportive of the
extension of this roadway.
The applicant is proposing to extend a stub street from the south property line approximately 500-feet
west of the east property line. This stub street was approved with Lochsa Falls Subdivision's
preliminary plat that was approved by the District on May 22, 2002. Staff is supportive of the
extension of this roadway.
The applicant is proposing to construct a stub street that extends to the west property line
approximately 620-feet south of Chinden Boulevard. Slaff is supportive of the location of this stub
street. Due to the fact that the stub street is greater than one-lot in depth, the applicant should
construct a temporary turnaround at the terminus of the roadway and install a sign at the terminus of
the roadway stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE".
Due to the fact that access to Chinden Boulevard is being restricted by ITD and to provide intra-
neighborhood connectivity, staff believes that the applicant should provide a stub street to the west to
serve the large 40-acre parcel that is currently undeveloped. The applicant should extend Satinwood
Court to the west property line between lot 8 and lot 9 of Block 4. Due to the fact that the stub street
is greater than one-lot in depth and greater than 150-feet in depth, the applicant should construct a
temporary turnaround at the terminus of the roadway and install a sign at the terminus of the roadway
stating that, ''THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE".
6
5. Turnarounds
District policy 7205.2.1 requires turnarounds to be constructed to provide a minimum turning radius of
45-feet. The applicant should also be required to provide a minimum of a 29-foot street section on
either side of any proposed center islands within the turnarounds. The medians should be
constructed a minimum of 4-feet wide to total a minimum of a 1 OO-square foot area. Dedicate 54-feet
of right-of-way plus the additional width of the median.
The applicant is proposing to construct five turnarounds (without center islands) in the subdivision.
The applicant should provide a minimum turning radius of 45-feet.
6. Surrounding Roadways
Silverleaf Subdivision is proposing to access the public roadway system through LOchsa Falls
Subdivision. Lochsa Falls Subdivision has not completed the final platting process, therefore
Silverleaf Subdivision does not have access to the public roadway system at this time. Due to the
fact that Lochsa Falls Subdivision has not dedicated right-of-way through the recordation of a final
plat, Silverleaf Subdivision's preliminary plat should be approved contingent upon the right-ol-way
within Lochsa Falls being dedicated to the public and the roadways being constructed or a financial
surety in place for the construction of the roadways prior to the signature of the final plat for Silverleaf
Subdivision.
C. Site Specific Conditions of Approval
1. Comply with reqUirements of ITD for State Highway 20/26 ( Chinden Boulevard) frontage. Submit to
the District a letter from (TD regarding said requirements prior to District approval of the final plat or

or Larry Strough with ITD"s District III office at 208-334-8300.
2. Construct the internal roadways as 36-foot street sections with rolled curb, gutter and 5-foot concrete
sidewalk within 50-feet of right-of-way, as proposed.
3. Extend Kingwood Drive from the east property line approximately 650-feet north of the south property
line, as proposed.
4. Extend a stub street from the south property line approximately 500-feet west of the east property
line, as proposed.
5. Construct a stub street that extends to the west property line approximately 620-feet south of
Chinden Boulevard, as proposed. Construct a temporary turnaround at the terminus of the roadway
and install a sign at the terminus of the roadway stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN
THE FUTURE".
