We currently use this ditch to irrigate our lower pasture along with our neighbors Matt and
Aneke Binford who also irrigate their pasture, We have always had access to the water from this
ditch to do both of our properties.
We would like to see the ditch left open to our head gates. Which is to the ditch running Bast and
North. We plan to do more landscaping in this area.
Thank You,

ANNEXATION & ZONING ANALYSIS
According to Ordinance 11-15-11, General Standards Applicable to Zoning Amendments, both
the P&Z Commission and Council are required "to review the particular facts and circumstances
of each proposed zoning amendment in terms of the following standards and shall find adequate
evidence answering the following questions about the proposed zoning amendment."
The following is the list of standards found in 11-15-11 and analysis by staff:
A. Will the new zoning be harmonious with and in accordance with the
Comprehensive Plan and, if not, has there been an application for a
Comprehensive Plan amendment;
Staff finds that the requested zoning designation, R-8, is harmonious with and in
accordance with the effective Comprehensive Plan (`02) and Future Land Use
Map. The parcel is designated for Medium Density Residential (3 to 8 dwelling
units per acre). The project has a gross density of 2.97 dwelling units per acre and
a net density of 3.62 dwelling units per acre. The common open space for the
project is 0.97 acres (5.5 % of the plat area).
B. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be rezoned in the
future;
The applicant has not indicated that they intend to rezone the subject property in
the future.
C. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be developed in the
fashion that would be allowed under the new zoning —for example, a
residential area turning into a commercial area by means of conditional use
permits;
Staff finds that the proposed subdivision of single-family detached homes will be
allowed within the requested R-8 zone.

D. Has there been a change in the area or adjacent areas which may dictate that
the area should be rezoned. For example, have the streets been widened, new
railroad access been developed or planned or adjacent area being developed
in a fashion similar to the proposed rezone area;
The area in the vicinity of Locust Grove Road and Victory Road has undergone a
significant level of development recently. Tuscany Village subdivision has
recently been approved south of Victory Road and Sageland subdivision and Soda
Springs subdivision are currently proposed on the east side of the subject property
along Victory Road. Sageland and Soda Springs have both requested R-8 zoning
designations.
E. Will the proposed uses be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to
be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing or intended
character of the general vicinity and that such use will not change the
essential character of the same area;
Staff finds that the proposed use (single family residential) is designed
appropriately to match with the existing and intended character of the general
vicinity. Any change in the existing character of the area is in harmony with the
intended future land use envisioned by the Comprehensive Plan.
F. Will the proposed uses not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future
neighboring uses;
The Commission and Council should rely on public testimony to determine
whether or not the proposed use will be disturbing or hazardous to the existing or
fixture neighboring uses.
Staff does not anticipate that the proposed residential and office uses will be
hazardous or disturbing to future or existing neighbors, as long as the
recommended conditions of approval are complied with.
G. Will the area be served adequately by essential public facilities and services
such as highways, streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures,
refuse disposal, water, sewer or that the person responsible for the
establishment of proposed zoning amendment shall be able to provide
adequately any of such services;
Staff finds that the property to be annexed will be served adequately by all
essential public facilities and services. An existing sewer trunk line runs through
the subject property. Sanitary sewer and water shall be provided via existing and
new main line extensions. Applicant shall be required to pay for the extension of
water and sanitary sewer mains to and through the proposed development. Public
road access to the proposed subdivision is available off of Victory Road and

Loggers Pass Street (a stub provided by Observation Point subdivision.) All
internal streets will be constructed by the developer of the proposed subdivision.
The Commission and Council should review ACHD, School District, Police and
Fire Department's comments concerning this subdivision for further information
regarding public services.
H. Will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public
facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of
the community;
Staff finds that there will not be excessive additional requirements at public cost
and that the annexation and zoning will not be detrimental to the community's
economic welfare. See Annexation and Zoning comment G.
I. Will the proposed uses not involve uses, activities, processes, materials,
equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any
persons, property or the general welfare by reason of excessive production of
traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors;
Staff finds that the proposed subdivision will not create excessive traffic, noise or
other nuisances that would be detrimental to the general welfare of the
surrounding area.
Staff recognizes the fact that traffic and noise will increase with the approval of
this subdivision; however staff does not feel that the amount generated will be
detrimental to the public welfare of the city.
J. Will the area have vehicular approaches to the property which shall be so
designed as not to create an interference with traffic on surrounding public
streets;
Staff finds that the subdivision's vehicular approaches off of Victory Road will
create new traffic on surrounding roads. However, staff does not believe that the
subdivision entrances will cause significant interference on the surrounding public
streets.
Please review ACHD comments concerning vehicular approaches and traffic
generation.
K Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic
feature of major importance; and
Staff finds that no natural or scenic features of major importance will be lost or
damaged by approving the annexation and re -zone. Any existing trees larger than
4" caliper that are removed shall be mitigated for, per the Landscape Ordinance.

Dear Commissioners:
RECEITVED
OCT 0 7 2003
City Of Meridian
City Clerk Office
The purpose of this letter is to respectfully request that the application for the
zoning change for the 17.5 acres for the proposed Glacier Springs Subdivision be denied.
My family and I live at 778 East Trinidad in Meridian Greens Subdivision. Our
property is adjacent to the proposed development. When we built our house over five
years ago, we were very aware that the open field behind us would soon be developed.
However, since Meridian Greens is an R4 subdivision and Observation Point is an R-4
subdivision, it seems appropriate and consistent that Glacier Springs be zoned at R-4
rather than the proposed R-8. The other adjacent property to the project, Kachina Estates,
is zoned RUT. It consists of five -acre lots and is not likely to be further developed in
higher density. The proposed higher density zoning should not be allowed. The project
should be consistent with the surrounding properties.
My other concern with the project involves the proposed names of the roadways.
The northernmost roadway aligns with the E. Trinidad in Meridian Greens. I have no
problem with this name proposal. However, as the roadway turns south, it become S.
Trinidad Dr. I do not know of any other roadway where a east -west roadway connects
with north -south roadway bearing the same name. Furthermore, the southernmost
roadway in the project is also named E. Trinidad. I do not see how this would work with
two parallel east—west roadways bearing the same name.
I would appreciate your serious consideration of my request. I would be available
to discuss the contents of this letter at any mutually convenient time.
Sincerely,
94

City Planners;
It has come to my attention that there are proposed plans for a 52 home -site subdivision
adjacent to the Observation Point subdivision. This proposed subdivision is an R-8
subdivision that will put substantially smaller homes next to the Observation Point
subdivision, which is an R-4 subdivision.
When we submitted our plans for the Observation Point subdivision several years ago, we
were met with great enthusiasm in regards to bringing higher home values to the
Meridian landscape.
The Observation Point subdivision has an average home value ol'approximately
$350,000.00. It would be of considerable concern to me to allow these smaller homes to
adversely affect the value of the home -sites at Observation Point subdivision.

FROM: Joseph Silva, Deputy Chief, Fire Prevention
SUBJECT: Glacier Springs Subdivision AZ 03-024, PP 03-028
The following will be the requirements and/or concerns to provide minimum levels of fire
protection for the proposed project:
1. That a fire -flow of 1,000 gallons per minute be available to service the entire project.
Fire hydrants shall be placed an average of 400' apart.
2. Operational fire hydrants and temporary or permanent street signs are required
before combustible construction begins.
Acceptance of water supply for fire protection is contingent upon acceptance of the
water system by the City of Meridian for water quality.
4. All radii shall be 28' inside and 48' outside radius,
5. The proposed project lies outside the five-minute response zone goal. Achievement
of this goal is subject to budgetary constraints and is intended to enhance the
probability of a favorable outcome on a request for Basic Life Support. The budget
constraints are typically defined as capital outlay for facilities that are located within
1.5 miles from a given location and sufficient operational funds to staff the facilities.
6. According to a report completed by Fire & Emergency Services Consulting Group in
February of 2000 our requests for service are projected to reach 2800 in the year 2005
and 3800 by the year 2010, this is up from 2069 responses in the year 2000.
