Applications: The request is to annex and zone 5.89 acres of land from the RUT zoning district in Ada County to the

the City as the existing home is using city services.

Linder Road -Ustick Road intersection project. One full access driveway onto Ustick Road; one right-in/right-out
only driveway onto Linder Road and one full-access driveway onto Linder Road was approved but is not constructed.
In addition, W. Crossroad Street is stubbed along the western boundary for future connectivity.
