Huber, President Susan S. EesUake, 1 st Vice President Dave Bivens, 2nd Vice President John S. Franden, Commissioner David E. Wynkoop, Commissioner Brad Hawkins-Clark Planning & Zoning City of Meridian Dear Brad, It has come to our attention that the Meridian City Council did not require the extension of Teare Avenue with the Fairview Lakes planned development. However, on July 10, 2002, the ACHD Commission approved the planned development, as proposed, that included extending Teare Avenue to Fairview Avenue. In addition, the applicant requested approval to construct a traffic signal at the proposed main entrance on Fairview Avenue. The ideal signal location in this area is at Jericho Street, but because the applicant was proposing to extend Teare Avenue into the site, ACHD agreed to allow the signal in the proposed location because it would still provide signalized access to the residential properties located north of this development. If Teare Avenue is not going to be extended, the applicant will need to provide a revised site plan to ACHD, and the Commissioners will have to review the extension of Teare Avenue, as well as the location of the proposed traffic signal. It is unlikely that staff will support a traffic signal that serves a single development, and does not provide neighborhood connectivity. I understand that the applicant has submitted a preliminary plat for approval. I would request that the City of Meridian delay any further action regarding this plat until the Teare Avenue matter has been resolved.

Preliminary Plat Approval of Seven (7) Commercial Building Lots on 14.31 Acres in the C-N and C-G Zones, by Tamura and Associates (File No. PP-02- 034). We have reviewed the above referenced submittals and offer the following comments, as conditions of approval. These conditions shall be considered in full, unless expressly modified or deleted by motion of the Meridian City Council: APPLICATION SUMMARY The applicant, Tamura and Associates, has applied for Preliminary Plat approval of a seven (7) lot commercial subdivision on 14.31 acres of land, located on the north side of Fairview A venue, approximately [/2 a milewest of Locust Grove. The City of Meridian recently approved a planned development on this piece of land (Fairview Lakes) that consists of a mix of commercial and high density residential uses. The proposed preliminary plat is a subdivision of all of the commercially zoned land within the planned development. LOCATION The property is located on the north side of Fairview approximately a V,mile west of Locust Grove Road. SURROUNDING PROPERTIES North: The Willows Subdivision, zoned R-8. South: Commercial property, zoned CoG and R-8 (a car lot). East: Settlers Village and a car wash, zoned CG and R-8. West: A mobile home park and commercial property, zoned R-8 and C-G PP-02-034 Devon Park Subdivi.ion. .PP Planning & Zoning CommissionlMayor & City Council February 20, 2002 Page 2 PRELIMINARY PLAT FINDINGS AND REQUIREMENTS 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 City's adopted Comprehensive Plan. The Future Land Use Map depicts the property as "Mixed Use Regional" which allows for the commercial uses proposed within the subdivision. b. The availability of public services to accommodate the proposed development; Staff finds that public services are available to accommodate the proposed development. c. The continuity of the proposed development with the capital improvement program; Staff fmds 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 mllJor expenditures for providing supporting services. e. The other health, safety or environmental problems that may be brought to the Commission's attention. Staff fmds that there should not be any other health, safety or environmental problems associated with this subdivision that may be brought to the Councilor Commission's attention. ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS The Development Agreement signed prior to the City's annexation of this parcel of land included a requirement to place bollards across the south end of Teare A venue to prevent vehicular traffic from entering or exiting the existing Settlers Village Subdivision (pg 8 F.2.). The decision to bollard the Teare Street right-of-way was made at the City Council level and was based on public testimony in opposition of the connection of the two streets. The proposed plat does not graphically depict the bollards; nevertheless, the bollards will need to be installed in accordance with the Development Agreement (barring any changes to the Development Agreement). PP--Q2-034 Devon Park Subdivisioll.PP Planning & Zoning CommissionlMayor & City COW1cil February 20, 2002 Page 3 ACHD did not have an opportunity to review the City COW1cil' s action to require the bollards within their right-of-way and invalidates their requirement to connect the proposed project to the existing neighborhood. ACHD approved a traffic light at the entrance of this subdivision based upon the connection of Teare Avenue to the proposed project. The interconnectivity provided by connecting Fairview Lakes to Teare Avenue justified the placement of a traffic light at the entrance of Fairview Lakes rather than at Jericho Street (ACHD's preferred location for a traffic light) further to the east. ACHD does not typically approve stoplights for single projects that do not provide interconnectivity. Furthermore, ACHD's original requirement to connect the two streets was also incorporated within the Development Agreement for the annexation of this property (pg 6, B.IS). ACHD has submitted a letter; dated February 10, 2003 (attached) requesting the opportunity to review the revised plans. They have also requested that the City of Meridian delay action on the preliminary plat until the Teare A venue matter has been resolved. The traffic study that was submitted as part of the original Fairview Lakes application does not reflect the current roadway configuration and traffic patterns of the submitted Devon Park preliminary plat. The final outcome of the Teare Avenue connection also needs to be taken into consideration. SITE SPECIFIC COMMENTS I PRELIMINARY PLAT 1. Sanitary sewer and water service to this site shall be via main line extension from the existing mains adjacent to the property.

ADDITIONAL CONSIDERA nONS The Development Agreement signed prior to the City's annexation of this parcel of land included a requirement to place bollards across the south end of Teare Avenue to prevent vehicular traffic from entering or exiting the existing Settlers Village Subdivision (pg 8 F.2.). The decision to bollard the Teare Street right-of-way was made at the City Council level and was based on public testimony in opposition of the connection of the two streets. The proposed plat does not graphically depict the bollards; nevertheless, the bollards will need to be installed in accordance with the Development Agreement (barring any changes to the Development Agreement). ACHD did not have an opportunity to review the City Council's action to require the bollards within their right-of-way and invalidates their requirement to connect the proposed project to the existing neighborhood. ACHD approved a traffic light at the entrance of this subdivision based "'J Planning & Zoning CommissionlMayor & City Council February 20, 2002 Page 3 upon the connection of Teare Avenue to the proposed project. The interconnectivity provided by connecting Fairview Lakes to Teare Avenue justified the placement of a traffic light at the entrance ofFairview Lakes rather than at Jericho Street (ACHO's preferred location for a traffic light) further to the east. ACHO does not typically approve stoplights for single projects that do not provide interconnectivity. Furthermore, ACHO's original requirement to connect the two streets was also incorporated within the Development Agreement for the annexation of this property (pg 6, B.15). ACHO has submitted a letter; dated February 10,2003 (attached) requesting the opportunity to review the revised plans. They have also requested that the City of Meridian delay action on the preliminary plat until the Teare Avenue matter has been resolved. The traffic study that was submitted as part of the original Fairview Lakes application does not reflect the current roadway configuration and traffic patterns of the submitted Devon Park preliminary plat. The final outcome of the Teare Avenue connection also needs to be taken into consideration. SITE SPECIFIC COMMENTS I PRELIMINARY PLAT 1.

RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the proposed preliminary plat and finds that it is in conformance the approved planned development (File No. CUP-02-014) and Development Agreement (Inst. No. 120143306). Staff believes that issues revolving around the placement ofbollards on Teare Avenue, the need for a public street that does not connect and the approval of a stoplight for the overall development will need to be resolved prior to the City Council approval of the preliminary plat, but should not hinder the processing of the proposed preliminary plat at the Commission level. If significant changes are made to the plat the Planning and Zoning Commission will have another opportunity to review the plat.

However, on July 10, 2002, the ACHD Commission approved the planned development, as proposed, that included extending Teare Avenue to Fairview Avenue. In addition, the applicant requested approval to construct a traffic signal at the proposed main entrance on Fairview Avenue. The ideal signal location in this area is at Jericho Street, but because the applicant was proposing to extend Teare Avenue into the site, ACHD agreed to allow the signal in the proposed location because it would still provide signalized access to the residential properties located north of this development. If Teare Avenue is not going to be extended, the applicant will need to provide a revised site plan to ACHD, and the Commissioners will have to review the extension of Teare Avenue, as well as the location of the proposed traffic signal. It is unlikely that staff will support a traffic signal that serves a single development, and does not provide neighborhood connectivity. I understand that the applicant has submitted a preliminary plat for approval. I would request that the City of Meridian delay any further action regarding this plat until the Teare Avenue matter has been resolved.
