Item 7. Department Report. Rock Ranch Estates Subdivision
This is an applicant request for review of an Ada County application for a large lot subdivision to
create 41ots, each larger than 5 acre in area in the City's Area of City Impact (AOCI). Our Title
9 agreement with Ada County requires City approval of all subdivisions located with our AOCI.
The agreement also requires a street and utility easement plan as well as the installation of dry
sewer and water lines or letter of waiver from the Council to the Ada County Development
Services Director. The applicant has requested a waiver of the requirement to install the dry
lines. Public Works has indicated that they will work with the applicant on a utility easement
plan and dry lines for utilities are unnecessary.
With respect to the street easement plan, the applicant has revised the proposed plat map to
provide a road easement to the northern property line for potential future connectivity as
requested by the City; however they are requesting that the Council waive this requirement.
If Council is inclined to recommend approval of the application, staff will draft a letter with the
appropriate conditions.
Item 9. Trade Plaza Final Plat. We have a letter from the applicant stating they are in
agreement with the conditions of approval, with the clarification that General Requirement #2
does not apply and should be deleted.
Item 14. Pathways Master Plan (CPA-09-001)
Location: City wide
Application: Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment
Highlights of the Request: The text amendment is proposing to incorporate by reference the
Meridian Pathways Master Plan into the Comprehensive Plan at the request of the Parks &
Recreation Commission. The Meridian Pathways Master Plan was adopted by City Council in
July 2007 and updates referencing the adopted pathway plan have not been incorporated into the
Comprehensive plan. The intent of the text change is to maintain consistency between the two
documents thus improving the administration of the Meridian Pathways Master Plan.
Commission Recommendation: Approval at their March 5, 2009 public hearing.

Item 15. Linder Road Overpass (CPA-09-002)
Location: Linder Road and I-84
Application: Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment
Highlights of the Request: The City of Meridian Planning Department is requesting approval of
the text amendment to incorporate language supporting the construction of an overpass at Linder
Road and I-84 and associated pathway. The language details the location, design and
construction of the pathway with the construction of the overpass. The Long Range
Transportation, Communities in Motion, has identified a future need for an additional overpass at
Linder Road. The proposed text change will provide clarity to City and partner agencies when
the Linder Road Overpass is designed regarding the City's preferences for incorporation of
pedestrian facilities per the Meridian Pathways Master Plan. The proposed language (1)
reaffirms the Linder Road Pathway as an on-street route north and south of I-84, (2) states a need
for the pathway across the bridge be physically separate from vehicle travel lanes, and (3)
recommends a side of Linder Road for the future on-street pathway.
Commission Recommendation: Approval at their March 5, 2009 public hearing.
