Re:
Turtle Creek Subdivision #3
· Final Plat of 57 Building Lots and 3 other lots on 17.66 acres by Turtle Creek,
LLC (File FP-OI-O18).
We have reviewed this submittal and offer the following comments, as conditions of the
applicant. These conditions shall be considered in full, unless expressly modified or deleted
by motion of the Meridian City Council:
LOCATION
The parcel is located south of Fairview Avenue and north of Pine Street, ¼ mile west of
Cloverdale Road.
SURROUNDING PROPERTIES
North: Tumble Creek Subdivision, zoned R-4.
South: Turtle Creek Sub No. 2, zoned R-4.
East: AT&T Cell Tower, zoned R-4.
West: Turtle Creek Sub No. 1, zoned R-4.
SITE SPECIFIC COMMENTS:
W. Old Mill Drive does not connect to N. Kubik Way, as currently shown on the plat.
Staff's recommendation is that the developer obtain an easement, to the satisfaction of
the Ada County Highway District, for the roads to connect. If such an easement cannot
be obtained, the developer must construct a temporary turn-around at the end of W. Old
Mill Drive. Any affected lot(s)--upon which the turn-around encroaches--Will remain
un-buildable until the road is connected and the turn-around is abandoned.

The Landscape Plan submitted with the Final Plat (Sheet L-I, Land Group, dated 9-25-
01) needs one minor modification to meet the intent of the Landscape Ordinance. The
Landscape Ordinance states that exposed cobble is prohibited, unless designed as a dry
creek bed or similar design feature. Staff recommends adding shrub groupings around
the perimeter of the cobble to reinforce this design feature. Upon that addition, the
submitted landscape plan will meet all requirements of Ordinance 12-12 and is approved
with that modification.
The proposed amenities--tOt lot and sand volleyball court--will be required to be built
prior to issuance of any occupancy permit. These amenities shall be bonded for prior to
