Item 12: Request for Reconsideration of Denial for the Rezone for Strada
Bellissima Subdivision by Strada Bellissima Commercial, LLC:
De Weerd: Okay. Item 12 is a request for a reconsideration. Council, I believe you
have that request in front of you. Does Anna or Mr. Nary have any additional
comments? Okay.
Nary: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, no, I really don't. There is a fairly
lengthy letter with the reasons for this request in front of you by Pinnacle Engineers. I
don't know if the requester has any additional information in regards to their request. It
seems fairly detailed in their letter as to their reasons for asking you to reconsider this
request. I think that matter is simply before you for that consideration.
De Weerd: Okay. Is the applicant here? If you have any new items for consideration
that are not outlined in your letter, you may do so at this time. Okay. Thank you.
Council?
Borton: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Borton.

92 acres from Ada County RUT to an R-4 zone for Matador Subdivision

Item 15: Public Hearing.: PP 07-017 Request for Preliminary Plat approval for 16
single-family residential lots and 3 common lots on 4.92 acres in a
proposed R-4 zone for Matador Subdivision by Equity Development -
1235 East McMillan Road:
De Weerd: Okay. Item 14 and 15 are public hearings on AZ 07-013 and PP 07-017.
will open these two public hearings with staff comments.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, this the Matador project. It's located
at 1235 McMillan Road.. The applications before you tonight are an annexation and
preliminary plat. The applicant has applied for annexation and zoning of 5. 18 acres to
R-4 zoning and preliminary plat approval of 16 single family residential building lots and
three common lots on 4.92 acres. The proposed gross density for the subdivision is 3.
25 dwelling units per acre, with a net density of 4.02 dwelling units per acre. And the lot
sizes range from 8,077 square feet to 14,454 square feet. You will note that it says old
plat, new plat, and I'll get to that in a moment. The Commission's recommendation was
based on old plat. There are a couple DA requirements proposed and that's that the
developer shall construct homes on the site that are in substantial compliance with the
elevations and the applicant shall construct homes on the site that contain the following
design features: Gable roof lines facing the street, shutters, substantial colors with
substantial bases and front facades, accented with brick/stone and covered porch
areas. Building materials should be of quality materials, including, but not limited to
wood siding, hardy plank siding, and/or stucco, incorporating varying siding materials.
Wide plank. Narrow plank. Board and batten. Cedar shingles. Painted in earth tone
colors. We have some elevations of those. The Commission recommended approval
at their November 15th, 2007, Public Hearing. Sabrina Whitehead, the applicant's
representative, spoke in favor. No one spoke in opposition or commented or provided
written testimony. Key issues of discussion by the Commission were the zoning
approved for neighboring residential projects and that was largely -- there is one project
-- and these two existing lots and that was R-4 with a little R-8 closed to Locust Grove.
And, then, there was another one approved over these two lots and that was R-4.
Nothing immediately adjoining this property. There were no key commission changes to
staffs initial recommendation. There are some outstanding issues for Council. During
the hearing staff presented to the Commission a recommendation to reduce the lot
widths of the buildable Lots 2 and 3 of Block 3, which are these two lots and expand the
