5. The Watts Lateral, which courses through part of the project, is a user's ditch, and
Settler's Irrigation District is not requiring a sepazate lot but only that the applicant
shall pipe the ditch along the perimeter which courses through the project, and to
provide an easement for access for the District. The easement width shall be as
agreed upon between Settler's Irrigation District and the applicant.
6. Pertaining to the fencing requirements for the pathway and micro-paths within this
project, any lots that run with the pathway and/or micro-paths shall either be an open
vision fence or solid fencing with a maximum height of four feet. The applicant shall
submit a fencing plan to the Planning and Zoning Department for approval.
7. The revised plat for this project is dated June 27, 2003, and is hereby approved
14. It is found that the requested zoning designation, R-8, is harmonious with and in
accordance with the effective Comprehensive Plan ('02) and the Future Land Use Map, which
designates the land to be "Mixed Use Neighborhood". The Comprehensive Plan also indicates that
the subject property should have a "Multi Use" pathway ninningnorth-south through the subdivision
along the Jackson Drain. Page 54 of the Comprehensive Plan addresses the issue of pathways and
states that they should be in compliance with the Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Plan (not yet
adopted) and that the pathway should be located "off street". The applicant has indicated that they
will construct a 10' asphalt multi-use pathway along the Jackson Drain. The Parks Department has
indicated that they will maintain the pathway if the applicant provides 5' of gravel on each side of
the pathway. If the applicant does not provide this configuration for the pathway the Parks
Department has recommended that the pathway be maintained by the Homeowner's Association
until the pathways to the north and south of the subdivision are completed and can be connected.
15. It is not anticipated that the applicant intends to rezone the subject property in the
future.

AND DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION
FOR ANNEXATION AND ZONING TRAILWAY PARK SUBDIVISION
(AZ-03-010)
PAGE 8 OF 19
16. It is found that the proposed single family residential subdivision would be allowed
within the requested R-8 zone, if accompanied with a Conditional Use Permit for a Planned
Development.
17. It is found that the land to the north and east of the subject property has been
developed as residential subdivisions similar to the proposed subdivision. It is found that the
requested zoning designation of R-8 is harmonious with the recently approved adjacent
developments and should be rezoned as requested.
18. It is found that the proposed use (single family residential) will not change the
existing (single family) or intended chazacter (single family and mixed use) of the area.
19. It is not anticipated that the proposed residential uses will be hazardous or disturbing
to future or existing neighbors.
20. It is found that the property to be annexed will or can be served adequately by all
essential public facilities and services.. Applicant shall be required to extend water and sanitary
sewer mains to and through the proposed development, thereby making them available to the
adjacent properties. The Fire Department has made the following recommendations:
Prohibit pazking in the turnaround on Block 8 or place building envelopes on the plat
prohibiting the placement of structures in the reaz of lots #23, 24, 25, 27, and 28. This is
recommended due to the proposed configuration of the turnaround which would make it
impossible for fire trucks to reach the homes on lots #23, 24, 25, and 27 if cars were pazked
in the turnaround. By requiring building envelopes to restrict structures on the rear of lots
#23, 24, 25, and 27 the fire department would be able to ensure that their firefighting
equipment could reach the homes on these lots in the event of a fire.
Review of the ACHD, Police and Fire Department's comments concerning this
subdivision will provide further informafion regarding public services and facilities.

(AZ-03-010)
PAGE 9 OF 19
21. It is found that there will not be excessive additional requirements at public cost for
public services and facilities and that the annexation and zoning will not be detrimental to the
community's economic welfare.
22. It is found that the proposed subdivision will not create excessive traffic, noise or
other nuisances that would be detrimental to the general welfare ofthe surrounding area. The fact is
recognized that traffic and noise will increase significantly upon build-out of the proposed
subdivision; however, it is felt that the amount generated will be detrimental to the public welfare of
the city.
23. It is found that the subdivision's vehicular approaches offBlue Heron Lane, E. James
Court, E. Willow Brook Drive, and E. Blue Heron Street will not cause significant interference on
the surrounding public streets. Review ACRD comments concerning vehiculaz approaches and
traffic generation.
24. The applicant is proposing to pipe a portion ofthe Jackson Drain which runs through
Trailway Park Subdivision's proposed park. Meridian's Comprehensive Plan designates the Jackson
Drain as a creek that needs to be improved and protected. Any existing trees lazger than 4" caliper
that aze removed shall be mitigated for, per the Landscape Ordinance.
25. It is found that services are available to the site and that the inclusion of a pathway
that will become a part of Meridian's pathway system makes the annexation of this property in
the best interest of the City.
26. It is found that if the developer pays for the requested improvements
and complies with the conditions set forth in these Findings of Fact No. 12, and all sub-parts, the
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
AND DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION
FOR ANNEXATION AND ZONING TRAILWAY PARK SUBDIVISION

PAGE 10 OF 19
economic welfare of the City and its residents and tax and rate payers will be protected, a
condition of annexation and zoning designation.
27. It is also found that the development considerations as referenced in Finding No.
12 aze reasonable to require and must betaken into account, in order to assure the proposed
development is designed, constructed, operated and maintained in a manner which is harmonious
and appropriate in appearance with the existing, or intended character of the general vicinity, in
order to assure that the proposed use will not change the essential character of the affected
vicinity and will insure that the proposed uses will not be hazazdous or disturbing to the existing,
or future neighboring uses, particulazly considering the impact of proposed development on
potential to produce excessive traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare and odors.
