gE; Maw's Subdivision No. 3
Appeal of Planning, and Zoning Commission. Decision
Dear Mayor and Council:
In reviewirfg the Findings of Fact for Maw's Subdivision No. 3 the Planning and Zoning we have
identified seve0d items Haat are inconsistent with�� he Zoning, and Development Ordinance.
The proposed density of Ma wa Subdivision No. 3 is within the R-8 allowed units per acre
standard. The R48 does allow for the construction of two-family attached
units. We are not
aware of .any specific alteratiop of this portib+ta of the Zoning Ordinance :at the time the property
was annexed itito the City of Meridian. We have reviewed our files, and read the minutes Of the
Planning and Zoning Com nission Meeting f4 the Annexitioo to fid that two-family dwellings
were discussed'and approved at the April 14, 1992 public Heating. See attached minutes.
The Commission found at the May 12, 1999 hearing that the proposed townhouse units were not
considered to be single-family dwellings because they were attached units, A review of the
ordinance definition for single�f mly &eelliags does in fact carry the-regairement of being
detached units.
The proposed units are attached dwellings and are sited on individual lots. The Meridian Zoning
ordinance or not. � The Commissiononoun, does define zero lot line units, � but does not determine whether they are single-family
dwellings

irtinimum unit size is 1,209 sg. ft. The floor�plain of the Proposed tawnhouse unit will be
