ANNEXATION AND ZONING SITE SPECIFIC COMMENTS Noted. 2. Noted. 3. The applicant will comply. 4. The applicant will comply. 5. The South Slough is proposed to remain open. SITE SPECIFIC CONDITIONS (PRELEMIINARY PLAT) Noted. 2. The applicant will comply. 3. The applicant will extend water east in Ustick and into the subject property. The applicant has concerns about the reference to an extension of water from Eagle Road. In previous hearings on the appropriate area of impact, city staff testified that the 12 -inch water main in Ustick could adequately supply water to the subject C:1Documents and SettinplgreeatME=L4NCrrYllueal SettmgslTampomry latemat Filesl0LKl4BaecsPtespome2.doc Mayor and City Council November 26, 2003 Page 2 site. Therefore, we do not believe an extension of water across Eagle Road to service the Redfeather Estates Subdivision No. 2 project is appropriate. Water is currently located on the west side of Eagle Road. Therefore, an expensive bore of Eagle Road would be required. 4. The applicant will comply. 5. The applicant will comply. 6. The plat has been revised to align Arch Street with Arch Court. 7. The applicant will comply. The preliminary plat has been revised to show an extension of Sharon Avenue to the south boundary. 8. The applicant will comply. 9. The applicant can comply with the extension of Granger and Palm. However, ACHD has required the Duane Drive stub street to be gated. 10. The revised plat depicts the required easements. 11. The landscape plan has been revised accordingly. 12. The applicant proposes to submit a copy of the encroachment agreement with the Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District (NMID) prior to the City's signature on the plat, in lieu of the request to include the agreement with the final plat application. 13. The applicant will comply. 14. The applicant will comply. 15. The applicant will comply and agrees with the revised wording shown in Brad Hawkins - Clark's memo dated November 24, 2003. 16. The applicant will comply. 17. The applicant will submit a re -development plan for Lot 1, Block 12, at the Planning & Zoning Commission public hearing. 18. The applicant neither owns nor has an option on the out parcel staff has proposed for annexation. The applicant is legally subdividing the subject property and annexing into the City of Meridian. The applicant was not involved with the splitting of the one -acre out parcel. The applicant has no ability to force the adjacent property owner, Virgil Smitchger, to annex. To include this parcel would unfairly delay the project because additional notice must be given and public hearings would need to be held. If the City of Meridian wants the parcel in the city limits, existing legislation allows the City to annex without consent of the owner. We C:OD meats and getlings\grmnt.MERIDIANCrrVLocal SeUings\Temporary Irdemet FilesOLK14B\RecsRespomeldoc Mayor and City Council November 26, 2003 Page 3 respectfully request that the requirement for annexing this adjoining parcel be removed from the conditions. 19. The applicant will comply with any vacation requirements of Ada County Highway District. The applicant wants the option discussed in the ACHD staff report which allows for an exchange of right-of-way. 20. The applicant shows a proposed pathway along the South Slough because it is shown in the City's Parks Pathway Plan. However, the letter from Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District dated July 31, 2003, clearly indicates that pathways along this live irrigation lateral will not be accepted. Until the City can come to terms with Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District on allowing these pathways, they cannot be built. We ask that the requirement for a pedestrian easement be deleted. STANDARD CONDITIONS (PRELIMINARY PLAT1 1. The applicant will comply 2. The applicant will comply. 3. The applicant will comply. 4. The applicant will comply. 5. The applicant will comply. 6. The applicant proposes to leave the South Slough open as a water amenity. 7. The applicant will comply. 8. The applicant will comply. 9. The applicant will comply. 10. The applicant will comply (condition same as #7), 11. The applicant will comply. SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS (CONDITIONAL USE/PD) A. Sample floor plans will be submitted to demonstrate the 50 -foot -wide lots can accommodate detached dwellings. Lot 8, Block 10, looks unusual because of the current location of the Milk's Lateral. However, the lateral will be piped further north, which will increase the width of Lot 8, Block 10. Lot 1, Block 21, has been enlarged and access is improved with the widening.

A basketball court has been added to Lot 3, Block 26. Therefore, the requirement for the amenities has been satisfied. SITE SPECIFIC CONDITIONS (CONDITIONAL USE) 1. The applicant will comply. 2. The applicant will submit sample floor plans at the Planning & Zoning Commission hearing for the 50 -foot -wide lots. Plans for Lot 8, Block 10, and Lot 1, Block 21 are not necessary. (See Special Consideration A.) 3. Noted. 4. An additional amenity has been added, the basketball court. The multi -use pathway has to be approved by the Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District. NM1D's letter dated July 31, 2003, states they will not allow a pathway. 5. The applicant will comply. With the exception of the pathway along the South Slough, there do not appear to be issues of major importance that cannot be dealt with during the processing of this development. Therefore, we respectfully request that the Planning & Zoning Commission recommend approval of the annexation, conditional use permit and preliminary plat, as we continue to work with staff.

The site is currently zoned RUT and is proposed to be rezoned to R-8. The site is located on the south side of Ustick Road approximately %: of a mile west of Cloverdale Road. Acreage: 90.29 -acres Current Zoning: RUT Proposed Zoning: R-8 Buildable Lots: 302 -lots Common Lots: 28 -lots Vicinity Map A. Findings of Fact Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate 2,890 additional vehicle trips per day (0 existing) based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual. 2. Impact Fees: There will be an impact fee that is assessed and due prior to issuance of a building permit. The assessed impact fee will be based on the impact fee ordinance that is in effect at that time. 3. Site Information: The site consists of 6 -parcels with one single-family residential home. 4. Description of Adjacent Surrounding Area: a. North: Providence Subdivision and an 11.5 -acre church site b. South: Clover Meadows Subdivision and a commercial turf farm that is used as the PAL soccer fields c. East: Single-family residences (Red Feather Subdivision #1, Dawson Meadows Subdivision, Briarwood Subdivision and a 1.0 -acre site and a 2.95 -acre site) d. West: Perkins Brown Subdivision (single-family residential subdivision) and a 21.34 -acre site with a single-family residence 6.

Traffic Impact Study: A traffic impact study was required with this application. The study was completed by Washington Group International and the following is a summary of the findings: • The proposed development is projected to generate an average daily traffic (ADT) of 3,015 vehicles per day (vpd), of which 318 vehicles per hour (vph). • As a result of the site build -out, traffic on the vicinity roadways is expected to increase as follows: traffic on Ustick Road west of Duane Drive may increase by 905 vpd; traffic on Ustick Road east of Grenadier Way may increase by 874 vpd; traffic on Cloverdale Road north of Granger Street may increase by 332 vpd; traffic on Cloverdale Road south of Granger Street may increase by 905 vpd. • The overall intersection of Ustick Road and Cloverdale Road is currently operating at a LOS E with a delay of 56 second per vehicles. At build -out of the Red Feather Estates No. 2 site, the intersection is projected to continue operating at LOS E with a delay of 70 seconds per vehicle. • The overall intersection of Cloverdale Road and Fairview Avenue is currently operating at a LOS F with a delay of 112 seconds. At build -out of the Red Feather Estates No. 2 site, the intersection is projected to continue operating at LOS F with a delay of 112 seconds per vehicle. No significant change is seen due to the improvements made to Cloverdale Road. • The Duane Drive approach is currently operating at a LOS B with a delay of 12 seconds. At build- out of the Red Feather Estates No. 2 site, Duane Drive approaches are projected to operate at LOS C or better with a delay of 20 seconds per vehicle or better. • At build -out of the Redfeather Estates No. 2 site, the Grenadier Way approach is projected to operate at LOS C or better with a delay of 25 seconds per vehicle or better. • The Granger Street approach is currently operating at LOS C with a delay of 21 seconds per vehicle. At build out of the Redfeather Estates No. 2 site, the Granger Street approach is projected to operate at LOS B with a delay of 14 seconds. The significant improvement in the Level of service of the approach is due to the addition of a two-way left -turn lane on Cloverdale. • Cloverdale Road requires a special left -tum lane for traffic turning into the site at the Granger access intersection. A two-way left -turn lane will be provided as outlines in the Five Year Work Program. • Ustick Road requires a special right -turn radius into the site at both Duane Drive and Grenadier Way. Cloverdale Road requires a right turn taper into the site at the east access intersection of Granger Street. • Most of the internal streets have daily traffic projections lower than 1,000 vpd. Grenadier Way has a traffic projections of 1,650 vpd, as shown in Figure 6, but has no front -on housing. Duane Drive does not exceed the 1,000 vpd limit for front -on housing. None of the internal streets with 3 front -on housing exceed 1,000 vpd. Access to the residential lots should be designed in accordance with ACHD's access requirements. • None of the site access intersections meets the peak hour signal warrant for the 2012 build -out. • At the site build -out, Ustick Road/Cloverdale Road will operate at an unacceptable level of service. Capacity analysis shows Ustick Road will require additional through lanes on both east and west approached to operate at LOS D (existing configuration yields LOS E). A detailed analysis should be conducted before designs of the Ustick Road/Cloverdale Road intersection to determine if additional through lanes are necessary. • At the site build -out, Cloverdale Road/Fairview Avenue will operate at an unacceptable Level of service. Capacity analysis shows a significant improvement with the implementation of right turn lanes on Fairview Avenue. A detailed analysis should be conducted before design of Cloverdale Road/Fairview Avenue intersection to determine if right turn lanes are necessary. • All site access intersections will operate at acceptable levels of service conditions under the proposed design. • Within the site, Palm Street ties into Redfeather Estates No. 1, and an emergency access point exists through Block 12, Lot 5 to Briarwood Drive. • All site access locations meet the ACHD's policy requirements. Staff Analysis: The traffic study assumed 315 single-family homes. The application calls for 302 single-family homes. The difference would be a reduction of estimated daily trips from 3,015 to 2,890, and a peak hour estimate from 318 to 305. This difference equates to just under 5% fewer trips and is actually more conservative of an estimate. The traffic study also points out that if the Ustick Road and Cloverdale Road intersection is improved to a 5X5 intersection, the LOS estimate for 2012 could improve to a LOS D. Cloverdale is in the PD phase of the FYWP for widening to a five -lane section from Fairview to Ustick. The Cloverdale Road and Fairview Road intersection is currently included in the FYWP as a PD project. This project would include major reconstruction of the intersection. This could also include a possible alignment shift to minimize the impacts to the cemetery. The traffic study indicates that Cloverdale Road requires a right turn taper into the site at the east access intersection of Granger Street, but the site does not appear that the warrants are met for the taper to be installed. The traffic study indicates that Ustick Road requires a special right -turn radius into the site at both Duane Drive and Grenadier Way. The applicant should coordinate the design and the timing of the right -tum radii. 8. Roadway Improvements Adjacent To and Near the Site Ustick Road is currently improved with 3 -traffic lanes with no curb, gutter or sidewalk abutting the site. There is sidewalk on the north side of Ustick Road that was constructed as a part of Providence Place Subdivision. El Granger Street is currently improved with 24 -feet of pavement with vertical curb, gutter and 5 -foot concrete sidewalk located on the north side. Duane Drive is currently improved with 24 -feet of pavement with no curb, gutter or sidewalk. There are a number of encroachments in the right-of-way on Duane Drive. The encroachments include: mailboxes, landscaping, sprinkler systems, etc. 9. Existing Right -of -Way Ustick Road currently has a total of 50 to 73 -feet of right-of-way (25 -feet from centerline) abutting the site. Duane Drive currently has a total of 50 -feet of right-of-way (25 -feet from centerline) abutting the site. Granger Street currently has a total of 50 -feet of right-of-way (25 -feet from centerline) abutting the site. Granger has 40 -feet of right-of-way (20 -feet from centerline) through a portion of the site. 10. Site History The District has not previously reviewed a development application for this site. 11. Capital Improvements Plan/Five Year Work Program Cloverdale Road (between Fairview Avenue and Ustick Road) is included in the District's Five Year Work program and Capital Improvements Plan. Cloverdale Road is anticipated to be constructed as a 5 -lane roadway with curb, gutter and sidewalks. Ustick Road (between Cloverdale Road and Eagle Road) is not included within the District's Five Year Work Program but is included in the District's Capital Improvements Plan. Ustick Road is anticipated to become a 5 -lane roadway with curb, gutter and sidewalks. 12. Other Development in Area On January 9, 2002, the District approved Dawson Meadows Subdivision. Dawson Meadows Subdivision was proposed to be a 76 -lot single-family residential subdivision located directly to the east of this site. This development is currently in construction and is nearing build out. On May 9, 2003, the District approved Red Feather Estates #1. Red Feather Estates was proposed to be a 67 -lot single-family residential subdivision. This development has not begun construction. 13. Commission Action On November 12, 2003, the Commission heard testimony from staff as well as a number of residents in the Perkins Brown Subdivision. The Commission acted on Red Feather Estates #land required the applicant to: • Shift the stub street to the west (Palm Street) to the south to provide a circuitous route to Duane Drive. • Construct chokers (bulb -outs) at the intersection of Palm Street and Duane Drive to slow vehicles that would enter and exit Duane Drive (when a future connection was made). The chokers should provide for a reduced street section. • Install swinging gate at the connection of Duane Drive and Palm Street for the present time. The gate will be removed when a formal request is received by the District to open Duane Drive (public right-of-way). • Construct a pedestrian/bicycle pathway that will connect to the improvements on Duane Drive (south of the gate) to the 24 -feet of pavement that exists (north of the gate). • Deter all construction traffic Duane Drive. B. Findings for Consideration Right -of -Way and Sidewalk District policy requires 96 -feet of right-of-way on arterial roadways (Figure 72-F1 B). This right-of-way allows for the construction of a 5 -lane roadway with curb, gutter, 5 -foot concrete detached sidewalks and bike lanes. District policy requires 5 -foot wide (minimum) concrete sidewalk on all collector roadways and arterial roadways (7204.6.5). Ustick Road Ustick Road is not listed as a proposed project in the District's currently adopted Five -Year Work Program, but is in the currently adopted 20 -year Capital Improvements Plan. As such, the applicant may receive reimbursement for dedicated right-of-way from available collected impact fees. The Board of Commissioners authorizes the expenditure of available collected impact fees for the purchase of right-of-way dedicated by the applicant, with the applicant constructing a sidewalk as described below. However, if funds cannot be secured, the applicant shall do one of the following: a. Dedicate by donation (or through a development offset agreement whereby the applicant is reimbursed from impact fees to be collected solely from the applicant's specific development project) an additional 23- feet of right-of-way along Ustick Road, and construct a minimum 5 -foot wide concrete sidewalk along Ustick Road, located a minimum of 23 -feet from the centerline of the right-of- way. b. Do not dedicate additional right-of-way, but construct a minimum 5 -foot wide concrete sidewalk along Ustick Road, located a minimum of 23 -feet from the centerline of the right-of-way, in an easement provided to the District. c. Do not dedicate additional right-of-way, but construct a minimum 5 -foot wide concrete sidewalk along Ustick Road, located at the back edge of the existing right-of-way. Accomplish all necessary adjustments to properly accommodate existing drainage and utilities. 2. Roadway Offsets District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 300 -feet from an arterial roadway (measured centerline to centerline). District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 150 -feet from a residential collector roadway (measured centerline to centerline). District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 125 -feet from another local roadway (measured centerline to centerline). The applicant is proposing to construct the main entrance, North Grenadier Way, to intersect Ustick Road approximately 370 -feet east of the west property line. This roadway is proposed to align with an existing roadway that is located on the north side of Ustick Road. This roadway location meets District policy and should be approved with this application. All of the internal roadways meet minimum offset that have been established by District policy and should be approved with this application. 3. Street Sections District policy 72-F1 A, 7202.3.2 and 7202.3.5, requires that residential collectors be constructed as 36 -foot street sections with curb, gutter and 5 -foot wide concrete sidewalks with no front -on housing. The access restrictions for these street segments should be stated on the final plat. Unless otherwise noted, parking should be prohibited on these street segments. Coordinate the signage Program with District staff. District policy 7204.4.2 states, "developments with any buildable lot that is less that 1.5 -acres in size will typically provide streets having a minimum pavement width of 32 -feet with curb, gutter and sidewalks. The total street width shall be 36 -feet from back -of -curb to back -of -curb. Variations of this width may be allowed, depending on traffic volumes forecast to be generated by the development. Concrete sidewalks shall be a minimum of 5 -feet in width unless they are separated from the curb 5 - feet or more in which case the sidewalk shall be a minimum of 4 -feet in width. Residential Collectors - North Grenadier Way and East Granger Street (from the east property line to Grenadier Way) The applicant is proposing to construct North Grenadier Way and East Granger Street as residential collectors. The applicant is proposing to construct these residential collectors as 36 -foot street sections with rolled curb, gutter and 4 -foot concrete sidewalks that are detached form the curb by a 5 - foot landscape strip within 50 -feet of right-of-way. Staff is supportive of the applicant's proposal to construct North Grenadier Way and East Granger Street as residential collectors, but believes that these roadways should be constructed as 36 -foot street sections with vertical curb, gutter and 4 -foot detached concrete sidewalk (or a 5 -foot attached concrete sidewalk). Parking and front -on housing will be prohibited on these roadways. Direct lot access to these roadways shall prohibited with the exception of the Lot 1 Block 2 (to utilize the existing driveway) and the proposed clubhouse (which should be allowed one driveway). Local Streets — The remainder of the internal roadways The applicant is proposing to construct the remainder of the internal roadways as standard local roadways. The applicant has proposed to construct the local roads as 36 -foot street sections with rolled curb, gutter and 5 -foot attached concrete sidewalks. This street section meets District policy and should be approved with this application. East Granger Drive is located within the proposed subdivision and is not a part of the out parcel that is located on the south property line. 4. Stub Streets District policy 7203.5.1 and 7205.5 requires stub streets to provide intra -neighborhood circulation and to provide access to adjoining parcels. District policy also requires temporary turnarounds with a temporary easement provided to the District at the end of stub streets that serve more than one lot, or are greater than 150 -feet in length with a sign at the terminus of the roadway stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE". Stub streets are an essential component in any community. Stub streets provide secondary access for emergency services, eliminate multiple access points to major roadways (collector and arterial roadways), reduce vehicle miles traveled, connects neighborhoods and can increase the sense of community in the area. The Extension of Existing (or proposed) Stub Streets The applicant is proposing to extend three stub streets. The applicant is proposing to extend Granger Street from the east property line approximately 640 - feet north of the south property line. District staff is supportive of the extension of Granger Street due to the fact that stub streets are an essential component in any community. Stub streets provide secondary access for emergency services, eliminate multiple access points to major roadways (collector and arterial roadways), reduce vehicle miles traveled, connects neighborhoods and can increase the sense of community in the area. The applicant is proposing to extend East Palm Street from the east property line approximately 440 - feet north of the south property line. District staff is supportive of the extension of East Palm Street due to the fact that stub streets are an essential component in any community. Stub streets provide secondary access for emergency services, eliminate multiple access points to major roadways (collector and arterial roadways), reduce vehicle miles traveled, connects neighborhoods and can increase the sense of community in the area. The applicant is proposing to extend Duane Drive from the north property line approximately 640 -feet east of the west property line. The Commission required the install swinging gate at the connection of Duane Drive and Palm Street for the present time. The gate will be removed when a formal request (by anyone ie the City of Meridian, a citizen, a the developer, a resident of the Perkins Brown Subdivision, etc.) is received by the District to open Duane Drive (public right-of-way). The Commission also required the applicant to construct a pedestrian/bicycle pathway that will connect to the improvements on Duane Drive (south of the gate) to the 24 -feet of pavement that exists (north of the gate). New Stub Streets The applicant is proposing to construct four new stub streets to the surrounding parcels. The applicant originally proposed to construct a stub street (East Palm Street) to the west property line approximately 500 -feet north of the south property line. The Commission requested that the applicant shift the stub street to the south to provide a more circuitous route to Duane Drive and deter traffic from utilizing Duane Drive in the future. Staff is supportive of the applicant shifting the stub street to the south due to the fact that this roadway will continue to stub to the 21.34 -acre site that will likely redevelop in the near future. Due to the fact that this stub street is proposed to be less than 1 - lot in depth and less than 150 -feet in depth, the applicant will not be required to provide a temporary turnaround. The applicant will be required to install a sign at the terminus of the roadway stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE". The applicant is proposing to construct a stub street to the south property line approximately 900 -feet east of the west property line. Staff is supportive of the location of this stub street due to the fact that this roadway will stub to a 157 -acre site that will likely redevelop in the near future. Due to the fact that this stub street is proposed to be less than 1 -lot in depth and less than 150 -feet in depth, the applicant will not be required to provide a temporary turnaround. The applicant will be required to install a sign at the terminus of the roadway stating that, 'THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE". The applicant is proposing to construct a stub street to the 5 -acre out parcel that is located at the south property line. The stub street is anticipated to stub to the out parcels west property line approximately 110 -feet north of the south property line. Staff is supportive of the location of this stub street due to the fact that this roadway will stub to a 5 -acre site that will likely redevelop in the near future. Due to the fact that this stub street is proposed to be less than 1 -lot in depth and less than 150 -feet in depth, the applicant will not be required to provide a temporary turnaround. The applicant 0 will be required to install a sign at the terminus of the roadway stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE". The applicant is proposing to construct a stub street to the north property line approximately 100 -feet west of the east property line. Staff is supportive of the location of this stub street due to the fact that this roadway will stub to a 2.95 -acre site that will likely redevelop in the near future. Due to the fact that this stub street is proposed to be less than 1 -lot in depth and less than 150 -feet in depth, the applicant will not be required to provide a temporary turnaround. The applicant will be required to install a sign at the terminus of the roadway stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE". Stub Streets That Are Not Extending The applicant is proposing to construct an emergency access/pedestrian path (rather than a stub street) that will connect this subdivision with Briarwood Subdivision. The applicant is proposing to construct an emergency access/pedestrian path due to the fact that Briarwood Drive is `technically" not a stub street. Briarwood Drive was platted in 1968 as a part of Briarwood Subdivision (see the attached subdivision plat). As a part of the plat, the right-of-way extends to the property line (but only abuts the property line for approximately 20 -feet). District policy requires a minimum of 40 -feet of right-of-way and a minimum of 24 -feet of pavement for a roadway to be utilized by the public. Due to the fact that the applicant is unable to meet the minimum requirements of the District and the fact that the applicant is proposing to construct an emergency access/pedestrian path to provide for pedestrian connectivity. There is currently a very large Maple tree that is located at the terminus of Briarwood Drive directly in the center of the Briarwood Drive right-of-way. The City of Meridian is supportive of the path, but is concerned that if an emergency access is constructed the tree would be removed. Due to the fact that there is concern for the existing Maple tree, the City of Meridian would like the path to be re -designed in order to save the existing tree that is located at the terminus of Briarwood Drive. Staff recommends that a pedestrian pathway be constructed to connect the Briarwood Subdivision to this development, as proposed. Staff would also like to provide the Briarwood Subdivision with a secondary emergency access, but staff believes that the City of Meridian should decide whether or not an emergency access is appropriate in this location. The applicant is not proposing to extend a stub street from the east property line located approximately 320 -feet north of Granger Street. The applicant is not proposing to extend this stub street due to the fact that the 3.08 -acres site (Lot 1 Block 12) is proposed to remain in its current configuration. When Lot 1 Block 12 develops in the future, the stub street will be required to be extended. 5. Turn Lanes According to the submitted traffic study, a center tum lane is needed on Cloverdale Road to accommodate the traffic that will be turning on to Granger Street. Cloverdale Road is in the District's Five Year Work Program and Capital Improvements Plan to be constructed as a 3 -lane roadway in 2011 to 2015. The applicant should be required to construct a left tum lane on Cloverdale Road at the intersection of Cloverdale Road and Granger Street if the warrants are met prior to the District's reconstruction of Cloverdale Road. According to the traffic impact study, the warrants are met at lot number 242. Before the applicant is issued a building permit for lot 242, the applicant should install the center tum lane on Cloverdale Road. According to the submitted traffic study, a special right -turn radius is needed on Ustick Road into the site at both Duane Drive and Grenadier Way. The applicant should coordinate the timing and the design of the right -turn radii with the District's Traffic Services Staff. 6. Islands/Medians District policy 7202.7 and 7207.5 requires any proposed landscape islands/medians within the public right-of-way dedicated by this plat should be owned and maintained by a homeowners association. Notes of this should be required on the final plat. The applicant should also be required to provide a minimum of a 21 -foot street section on either side of any proposed center islands within the turnarounds. The medians should be constructed a minimum of 4 -feet wide to total a minimum of a 100 -square foot area. The applicant is proposing to construct an island/median within the public right-of-way of North Grenadier Way (near the intersection of Ustick Road). The applicant should provide a minimum of a 21 -foot street section on either side of any proposed center islands within the turnarounds. The medians should be constructed a minimum of 4 -feet wide to total a minimum of a 100 -square foot area. Any proposed landscape islands/medians within the public right-of-way dedicated by this plat should be owned and maintained by a homeowners association. 7. Turnarounds District policy 7205.2.1 requires turnarounds to be constructed to provide a minimum turning radius of 45 -feet. The applicant should also be required to provide a minimum of a 29 -foot street section on either side of any proposed center islands within the turnarounds. The medians should be constructed a minimum of 4 -feet wide to total a minimum of a 100 -square foot area. The applicant is proposing to construct five cul-de-sac turnarounds without center islands within the subdivision. The applicant should provide a minimum turning radius of 45 -feet. 8. Right -of -Way Exchange Granger Street (40 -feet of right-of-way) currently extends from the subjects property's east property line and extends to the east properly line of The Perkins Brown Subdivision. (see the attached right- of-way map) There is also 20 -feet of right-of-way abutting the Perkins Brown Subdivision that begins at Granger Street and extends north for approximately 660 -feet. (see the attached right-of-way map) The applicant has requested that the District consider a right-of-way exchange for the existing right- of-way within the parameters of the proposed subdivision. The Commission will be seeing this item in the future in order to begin discussion on whether or not a right-of-way exchange is appropriate for this development. The applicant will be required to vacate the existing right-of-way, exchange the existing right-of-way, or improve the existing right-of-way within the proposed development (a portion of Granger Street and a 20 -foot strip that abuts the Perkins Brown Subdivision's east property line). Staff recommends that the applicant exchange the existing right-of-way (for Ustick Road right-of-way). This report is written assuming that the applicant will successfully exchange the existing right-of-way. If the Commission chooses to not complete a right-of-way exchange, the applicant should submit a revised site plan to the District for review and comment. 9. Chokers On November 5, 2003, the Commission required the applicant to construct chokers on the north side of Palm Street at the intersection of Duane Drive. The chokers are intended to function as a traffic 10 claming device and slow vehicles that would enter and exit Duane Drive (when a future connection was made). The chokers should provide for a reduced street section to function properly. 10. Other Access Ustick Road is classified as a minor arterial. Other than the access point that has been specifically approved with this application, direct lot access to Ustick Road is prohibited. C. Site Specific Conditions of Approval The Board of Commissioners authorizes the expenditure of available collected impact fees for the purchase of right-of-way dedicated by the applicant, with the applicant constructing a sidewalk as described below.

Tuning, 208 -387 -6177 -phone, 208 -387 -6393 -fax, atuning(o)achd.ada.id. us File Numbers: Red Feather Estates #21MPP03-0241MAZ03-021/MCUP03-041 Site address: 4036 East Granger Street Applicant: Packard Estates Development 6223 North Discovery Way, Suite 120 Boise, Idaho 83713 Representative: Engineering Solutions Becky McKay 150 East Aikens Street, Suite B Eagle, Idaho 83616 Application Information: The applicant has submitted an application to the City of Meridian requesting annexation, rezone, conditional use and preliminary plat approval to construct a 302 -lot single-family residential subdivision on 90.29 acres. The site is currently zoned RUT and is proposed to be rezoned to R-8. The site is located on the south side of Ustick Road approximately'/2 of a mile west of Cloverdale Road. Acreage: 90.29 -acres Current Zoning: RUT Proposed Zoning: R-8 Buildable Lots: 302 -lots Common Lots: 28 -lots Vicinity Map A. Findings of Fact Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate 2,890 additional vehicle trips per day (0 existing) based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual. 2. Impact Fees: There will be an impact fee that is assessed and due prior to issuance of a building permit. The assessed impact fee will be based on the impact fee ordinance that is in effect at that time. 3. Site Information: The site consists of 6 -parcels with one single-family residential home. 4. Description of Adjacent Surrounding Area: a. North: Providence Subdivision and an 11.5 -acre church site b. South: Clover Meadows Subdivision and a commercial turf farm that is used as the PAL soccer fields c. East: Single-family residences (Red Feather Subdivision #1, Dawson Meadows Subdivision, Briarwood Subdivision and a 1.0 -acre site and a 2.95 -acre site) d.

The study was completed by Washington Group International and the following is a summary of the findings: ■ The proposed development is projected to generate an average daily traffic (ADT) of 3,015 vehicles per day (vpd), of which 318 vehicles per hour (vph). As a result of the site build -out, traffic on the vicinity roadways is expected to increase as follows: traffic on Ustick Road west of Duane Drive may increase by 905 vpd; traffic on Ustick Road east of Grenadier Way may increase by 874 vpd; traffic on Cloverdale Road north of Granger Street may increase by 332 vpd; traffic on Cloverdale Road south of Granger Street may increase by 905 vpd. • The overall intersection of Ustick Road and Cloverdale Road is currently operating at a LOS E with a delay of 56 second per vehicles. At build -out of the Red Feather Estates No. 2 site, the intersection is projected to continue operating at LOS E with a delay of 70 seconds per vehicle. • The overall intersection of Cloverdale Road and Fairview Avenue is currently operating at a LOS F with a delay of 112 seconds. At build -out of the Red Feather Estates No. 2 site, the intersection is projected to continue operating at LOS F with a delay of 112 seconds per vehicle. No significant change is seen due to the improvements made to Cloverdale Road. • The Duane Drive approach is currently operating at a LOS B with a delay of 12 seconds. At build- out of the Red Feather Estates No. 2 site, Duane Drive approaches are projected to operate at LOS C or better with a delay of 20 seconds per vehicle or better. • At build -out of the Redfeather Estates No. 2 site, the Grenadier Way approach is projected to operate at LOS C or better with a delay of 25 seconds per vehicle or better. • The Granger Street approach is currently operating at LOS C with a delay of 21 seconds per vehicle. At build out of the Redfeather Estates No. 2 site, the Granger Street approach is projected to operate at LOS B with a delay of 14 seconds. The significant improvement in the Level of service of the approach is due to the addition of a two-way left -turn lane on Cloverdale. • Cloverdale Road requires a special left -turn lane for traffic turning into the site at the Granger access intersection. A two-way left -turn lane will be provided as outlines in the Five Year Work Program. Ustick Road requires a special right -turn radius into the site at both Duane Drive and Grenadier Way. Cloverdale Road requires a right turn taper into the site at the east access intersection of Granger Street. Most of the internal streets have daily traffic projections lower than 1,000 vpd. Grenadier Way has a traffic projections of 1,650 vpd, as shown in Figure 6, but has no front -on housing. Duane Drive does not exceed the 1,000 vpd limit for front -on housing. None of the internal streets with K3 front -on housing exceed 1,000 vpd. Access to the residential lots should be designed in accordance with ACHD's access requirements. • None of the site access intersections meets the peak hour signal warrant for the 2012 build -out. • At the site build -out, Ustick Road/Cloverdale Road will operate at an unacceptable level of service. Capacity analysis shows Ustick Road will require additional through lanes on both east and west approached to operate at LOS D (existing configuration yields LOS E). A detailed analysis should be conducted before designs of the Ustick Road/Cloverdale Road intersection to determine if additional through lanes are necessary. • At the site build -out, Cloverdale Road/Fairview Avenue will operate at an unacceptable Level of service. Capacity analysis shows a significant improvement with the implementation of right turn lanes on Fairview Avenue. A detailed analysis should be conducted before design of Cloverdale Road/Fairview Avenue intersection to determine if right turn lanes are necessary. • All site access intersections will operate at acceptable levels of service conditions under the proposed design. • Within the site, Palm Street ties into Redfeather Estates No. 1, and an emergency access point exists through Block 12, Lot 5 to Briarwood Drive. • All site access locations meet the ACHD's policy requirements. Staff Analysis: The traffic study assumed 315 single-family homes. The application calls for 302 single-family homes. The difference would be a reduction of estimated daily trips from 3,015 to 2,890, and a peak hour estimate from 318 to 305. This difference equates to just under 5% fewer trips and is actually more conservative of an estimate. The traffic study also points out that if the Ustick Road and Cloverdale Road intersection is improved to a 5X5 intersection, the LOS estimate for 2012 could improve to a LOS D. Cloverdale is in the PD phase of the FYWP for widening to a five -lane section from Fairview to Ustick. The Cloverdale Road and Fairview Road intersection is currently included in the FYWP as a PD project. This project would include major reconstruction of the intersection. This could also include a possible alignment shift to minimize the impacts to the cemetery. The traffic study indicates that Cloverdale Road requires a right turn taper into the site at the east access intersection of Granger Street, but the site does not appear that the warrants are met for the taper to be installed. The traffic study indicates that Ustick Road requires a special right -turn radius into the site at both Duane Drive and Grenadier Way. The applicant should coordinate the design and the timing of the right -turn radii. 8. Roadway Improvements Adjacent To and Near the Site Ustick Road is currently improved with 3 -traffic lanes with no curb, gutter or sidewalk abutting the site. There is sidewalk on the north side of Ustick Road that was constructed as a part of Providence Place Subdivision. C! Granger Street is currently improved with 24 -feet of pavement with vertical curb, gutter and 5 -foot concrete sidewalk located on the north side. Duane Drive is currently improved with 24 -feet of pavement with no curb, gutter or sidewalk. There are a number of encroachments in the right-of-way on Duane Drive. The encroachments include: mailboxes, landscaping, sprinkler systems, etc. 9. Existing Right -of -Way Ustick Road currently has a total of 50 to 73 -feet of right-of-way (25 -feet from centerline) abutting the site. Duane Drive currently has a total of 50 -feet of right-of-way (25 -feet from centerline) abutting the site. Granger Street currently has a total of 50 -feet of right-of-way (25 -feet from centerline) abutting the site. Granger has 40 -feet of right-of-way (20 -feet from centerline) through a portion of the site. 10. Site History The District has not previously reviewed a development application for this site. 11. Capital Improvements Plan/Five Year Work Program Cloverdale Road (between Fairview Avenue and Ustick Road) is included in the District's Five Year Work program and Capital Improvements Plan. Cloverdale Road is anticipated to be constructed as a 5 -lane roadway with curb, gutter and sidewalks. Ustick Road (between Cloverdale Road and Eagle Road) is not included within the District's Five Year Work Program but is included in the District's Capital Improvements Plan. Ustick Road is anticipated to become a 5 -lane roadway with curb, gutter and sidewalks. 12. Other Development in Area On January 9, 2002, the District approved Dawson Meadows Subdivision. Dawson Meadows Subdivision was proposed to be a 76 -lot single-family residential subdivision located directly to the east of this site. This development is currently in construction and is nearing build out. On May 9, 2003, the District approved Red Feather Estates #1. Red Feather Estates was proposed to be a 67 -lot single-family residential subdivision. This development has not begun construction. 13. Commission Action On November 12, 2003, the Commission heard testimony from staff as well as a number of residents in the Perkins Brown Subdivision. The Commission acted on Red Feather Estates #land required the applicant to: • Shift the stub street to the west (Palm Street) to the south to provide a circuitous route to Duane Drive. • Construct chokers (bulb -outs) at the intersection of Palm Street and Duane Drive to slow vehicles that would enter and exit Duane Drive (when a future connection was made). The chokers should provide for a reduced street section. • Install swinging gate at the connection of Duane Drive and Palm Street for the present time. The gate will be removed when a formal request is received by the District to open Duane Drive (public right-of-way). • Construct a pedestrian/bicycle pathway that will connect to the improvements on Duane Drive (south of the gate) to the 24 -feet of pavement that exists (north of the gate). • Deter all construction traffic Duane Drive. B. Findings for Consideration Right -of -Way and Sidewalk District policy requires 96 -feet of right-of-way on arterial roadways (Figure 72-F1 B). This right-of-way allows for the construction of a 5 -lane roadway with curb, gutter, 5 -foot concrete detached sidewalks and bike lanes. District policy requires 5 -foot wide (minimum) concrete sidewalk on all collector roadways and arterial roadways (7204.6.5). Ustick Road Ustick Road is not listed as a proposed project in the District's currently adopted Five -Year Work Program, but is in the currently adopted 20 -year Capital Improvements Plan. As such, the applicant may receive reimbursement for dedicated right-of-way from available collected impact fees. The Board of Commissioners authorizes the expenditure of available collected impact fees for the purchase of right-of-way dedicated by the applicant, with the applicant constructing a sidewalk as described below. However, if funds cannot be secured, the applicant shall do one of the following: a. Dedicate by donation (or through a development offset agreement whereby the applicant is reimbursed from impact fees to be collected solely from the applicant's specific development project) an additional 23- feet of right-of-way along Ustick Road, and construct a minimum 5 -foot wide concrete sidewalk along Ustick Road, located a minimum of 23 -feet from the centerline of the right-of- way. b. Do not dedicate additional right-of-way, but construct a minimum 5 -foot wide concrete sidewalk along Ustick Road, located a minimum of 23 -feet from the centerline of the right-of-way, in an easement provided to the District. c. Do not dedicate additional right-of-way, but construct a minimum 5 -foot wide concrete sidewalk along Ustick Road, located at the back edge of the existing right-of-way. Accomplish all necessary adjustments to properly accommodate existing drainage and utilities. 2. Roadway Offsets District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 300 -feet from an arterial roadway (measured centerline to centerline). District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 150 -feet from a residential collector roadway (measured centerline to centerline). District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 125 -feet from another local roadway (measured centerline to centerline). The applicant is proposing to construct the main entrance, North Grenadier Way, to intersect Ustick Road approximately 370 -feet east of the west property line. This roadway is proposed to align with an existing roadway that is located on the north side of Ustick Road. This roadway location meets District policy and should be approved with this application. All of the internal roadways meet minimum offset that have been established by District policy and should be approved with this application. 11 3. Street Sections District policy 72-F1A, 7202.3.2 and 7202.3.5, requires that residential collectors be constructed as 36 -foot street sections with curb, gutter and 5 -foot wide concrete sidewalks with no front -on housing. The access restrictions for these street segments should be stated on the final plat. Unless otherwise noted, parking should be prohibited on these street segments. Coordinate the signage Program with District staff. District policy 7204.4.2 states, `developments with any buildable lot that is less that 1.5 -acres in size will typically provide streets having a minimum pavement width of 32 -feet with curb, gutter and sidewalks. The total street width shall be 36 -feet from back -of -curb to back -of -curb. Variations of this width may be allowed, depending on traffic volumes forecast to be generated by the development. Concrete sidewalks shall be a minimum of 5 -feet in width unless they are separated from the curb 5 - feet or more in which case the sidewalk shall be a minimum of 4 -feet in width. Residential Collectors - North Grenadier Way and East Granger Street (from the east property line to Grenadier Way) The applicant is proposing to construct North Grenadier Way and East Granger Street as residential collectors. The applicant is proposing to construct these residential collectors as 36 -foot street sections with rolled curb, gutter and 4 -foot concrete sidewalks that are detached form the curb by a 5 - foot landscape strip within 50 -feet of right-of-way. Staff is supportive of the applicant's proposal to construct North Grenadier Way and East Granger Street as residential collectors, but believes that these roadways should be constructed as 36 -foot street sections with vertical curb, gutter and 4 -foot detached concrete sidewalk (or a 5 -foot attached concrete sidewalk). Parking and front -on housing will be prohibited on these roadways. Direct lot access to these roadways shall prohibited with the exception of the Lot 1 Block 2 (to utilize the existing driveway) and the proposed clubhouse (which should be allowed one driveway). Local Streets — The remainder of the internal roadways The applicant is proposing to construct the remainder of the internal roadways as standard local roadways. The applicant has proposed to construct the local roads as 36 -foot street sections with rolled curb, gutter and 5 -foot attached concrete sidewalks. This street section meets District policy and should be approved with this application. East Granger Drive is located within the proposed subdivision and is not a part of the out parcel that is located on the south property line. 4. Stub Streets District policy 7203.5.1 and 7205.5 requires stub streets to provide intra -neighborhood circulation and to provide access to adjoining parcels. District policy also requires temporary turnarounds with a temporary easement provided to the District at the end of stub streets that serve more than one lot, or are greater than 150 -feet in length with a sign at the terminus of the roadway stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE". Stub streets are an essential component in any community. Stub streets provide secondary access for emergency services, eliminate multiple access points to major roadways (collector and arterial roadways), reduce vehicle miles traveled, connects neighborhoods and can increase the sense of community in the area. The Extension of Existing (or proposed) Stub Streets The applicant is proposing to extend three stub streets. The applicant is proposing to extend Granger Street from the east property line approximately 640 - feet north of the south property line. District staff is supportive of the extension of Granger Street due to the fact that stub streets are an essential component in any community. Stub streets provide secondary access for emergency services, eliminate multiple access points to major roadways (collector and arterial roadways), reduce vehicle miles traveled, connects neighborhoods and can increase the sense of community in the area. The applicant is proposing to extend East Palm Street from the east property line approximately 440 - feet north of the south property line. District staff is supportive of the extension of East Palm Street due to the fact that stub streets are an essential component in any community. Stub streets provide secondary access for emergency services, eliminate multiple access points to major roadways (collector and arterial roadways), reduce vehicle miles traveled, connects neighborhoods and can increase the sense of community in the area. The applicant is proposing to extend Duane Drive from the north property line approximately 640 -feet east of the west property line. The Commission required the install swinging gate at the connection of Duane Drive and Palm Street for the present time. The gate will be removed when a formal request (by anyone is the City of Meridian, a citizen, a the developer, a resident of the Perkins Brown Subdivision, etc.) is received by the District to open Duane Drive (public right-of-way). The Commission also required the applicant to construct a pedestrian/bicycle pathway that will connect to the improvements on Duane Drive (south of the gate) to the 24 -feet of pavement that exists (north of the gate). New Stub Streets The applicant is proposing to construct four new stub streets to the surrounding parcels. The applicant originally proposed to construct a stub street (East Palm Street) to the west property line approximately 500 -feet north of the south property line. The Commission requested that the applicant shift the stub street to the south to provide a more circuitous route to Duane Drive and deter traffic from utilizing Duane Drive in the future. Staff is supportive of the applicant shifting the stub street to the south due to the fact that this roadway will continue to stub to the 21.34 -acre site that will likely redevelop in the near future. Due to the fact that this stub street is proposed to be less than 1 - lot in depth and less than 150 -feet in depth, the applicant will not be required to provide a temporary turnaround. The applicant will be required to install a sign at the terminus of the roadway stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE". The applicant is proposing to construct a stub street to the south property line approximately 900 -feet east of the west property line. Staff is supportive of the location of this stub street due to the fact that this roadway will stub to a 157 -acre site that will likely redevelop in the near future. Due to the fact that this stub street is proposed to be less than 1 -lot in depth and less than 150 -feet in depth, the applicant will not be required to provide a temporary turnaround. The applicant will be required to install a sign at the terminus of the roadway stating that, 'THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE". The applicant is proposing to construct a stub street to the 5 -acre out parcel that is located at the south property line. The stub street is anticipated to stub to the out parcels west property line approximately 110 -feet north of the south property line. Staff is supportive of the location of this stub street due to the fact that this roadway will stub to a 5 -acre site that will likely redevelop in the near future. Due to the fact that this stub street is proposed to be less than 1 -lot in depth and less than 150 -feet in depth, the applicant will not be required to provide a temporary turnaround. The applicant will be required to install a sign at the terminus of the roadway stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE". The applicant is proposing to construct a stub street to the north property line approximately 100 -feet west of the east property line. Staff is supportive of the location of this stub street due to the fact that this roadway will stub to a 2.95 -acre site that will likely redevelop in the near future. Due to the fact that this stub street is proposed to be less than 1 -lot in depth and less than 150 -feet in depth, the applicant will not be required to provide a temporary turnaround. The applicant will be required to install a sign at the terminus of the roadway stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE". Stub Streets That Are Not Extending The applicant is proposing to construct an emergency access/pedestrian path (rather than a stub street) that will connect this subdivision with Briarwood Subdivision. The applicant is proposing to construct an emergency access/pedestrian path due to the fact that Briarwood Drive is "technically" not a stub street. Briarwood Drive was platted in 1968 as a part of Briarwood Subdivision (see the attached subdivision plat). As a part of the plat, the right-of-way extends to the property line (but only abuts the property line for approximately 20 -feet). District policy requires a minimum of 40 -feet of right-of-way and a minimum of 24 -feet of pavement for a roadway to be utilized by the public. Due to the fact that the applicant is unable to meet the minimum requirements of the District and the fact that the applicant is proposing to construct an emergency access/pedestrian path to provide for pedestrian connectivity. There is currently a very large Maple tree that is located at the terminus of Briarwood Drive directly in the center of the Briarwood Drive right-of-way. The City of Meridian is supportive of the path, but is concerned that if an emergency access is constructed the tree would be removed. Due to the fact that there is concern for the existing Maple tree, the City of Meridian would like the path to be re -designed in order to save the existing tree that is located at the terminus of Briarwood Drive. Staff recommends that a pedestrian pathway be constructed to connect the Briarwood Subdivision to this development, as proposed. Staff would also like to provide the Briarwood Subdivision with a secondary emergency access, but staff believes that the City of Meridian should decide whether or not an emergency access is appropriate in this location. The applicant is not proposing to extend a stub street from the east property line located approximately 320 -feet north of Granger Street. The applicant is not proposing to extend this stub street due to the fact that the 3.08 -acres site (Lot 1 Block 12) is proposed to remain in its current configuration. When Lot 1 Block 12 develops in the future, the stub street will be required to be extended. 5. Turn Lanes According to the submitted traffic study, a center turn lane is needed on Cloverdale Road to accommodate the traffic that will be turning on to Granger Street. Cloverdale Road is in the District's Five Year Work Program and Capital Improvements Plan to be constructed as a 3 -lane roadway in 2011 to 2015. The applicant should be required to construct a left turn lane on Cloverdale Road at the intersection of Cloverdale Road and Granger Street if the warrants are met prior to the District's reconstruction of Cloverdale Road. According to the traffic impact study, the warrants are met at lot number 242. Before the applicant is issued a building permit for lot 242, the applicant should install the center tum lane on Cloverdale Road. According to the submitted traffic study, a special right -turn radius is needed on Ustick Road into the site at both Duane Drive and Grenadier Way. The applicant should coordinate the timing and the design of the right -turn radii with the District's Traffic Services Staff. 9 6. Islands/Medians District policy 7202.7 and 7207.5 requires any proposed landscape islands/medians within the public right-of-way dedicated by this plat should be owned and maintained by a homeowners association. Notes of this should be required on the final plat. The applicant should also be required to provide a minimum of a 21 -foot street section on either side of any proposed center islands within the turnarounds. The medians should be constructed a minimum of 4 -feet wide to total a minimum of a 100 -square foot area. The applicant is proposing to construct an island/median within the public right-of-way of North Grenadier Way (near the intersection of Ustick Road). The applicant should provide a minimum of a 21 -foot street section on either side of any proposed center islands within the turnarounds. The medians should be constructed a minimum of 4 -feet wide to total a minimum of a 100 -square foot area. Any proposed landscape islands/medians within the public right-of-way dedicated by this plat should be owned and maintained by a homeowners association. Turnarounds District policy 7205.2.1 requires turnarounds to be constructed to provide a minimum turning radius of 45 -feet. The applicant should also be required to provide a minimum of a 29 -foot street section on either side of any proposed center islands within the turnarounds. The medians should be constructed a minimum of 4 -feet wide to total a minimum of a 100 -square foot area. The applicant is proposing to construct five cul-de-sac turnarounds without center islands within the subdivision. The applicant should provide a minimum turning radius of 45 -feet. 8. Right -of -Way Exchange Granger Street (40 -feet of right-of-way) currently extends from the subjects property's east property line and extends to the east property line of The Perkins Brown Subdivision. (see the attached right- of-way map) There is also 20 -feet of right-of-way abutting the Perkins Brown Subdivision that begins at Granger Street and extends north for approximately 660 -feet. (see the attached right-of-way map) The applicant has requested that the District consider a right-of-way exchange for the existing right- of-way within the parameters of the proposed subdivision. The Commission will be seeing this item in the future in order to begin discussion on whether or not a right-of-way exchange is appropriate for this development. The applicant will be required to vacate the existing right-of-way, exchange the existing right-of-way, or improve the existing right-of-way within the proposed development (a portion of Granger Street and a 20 -foot strip that abuts the Perkins Brown Subdivision's east property line). Staff recommends that the applicant exchange the existing right-of-way (for Ustick Road right-of-way). This report is written assuming that the applicant will successfully exchange the existing right-of-way. If the Commission chooses to not complete a right-of-way exchange, the applicant should submit a revised site plan to the District for review and comment. 9. Chokers On November 5, 2003, the Commission required the applicant to construct chokers on the north side of Palm Street at the intersection of Duane Drive. The chokers are intended to function as a traffic 10 claming device and slow vehicles that would enter and exit Duane Drive (when a future connection was made). The chokers should provide for a reduced street section to function properly. 10. Other Access Ustick Road is classified as a minor arterial. Other than the access point that has been specifically approved with this application, direct lot access to Ustick Road is prohibited. C. Site Specific Conditions of Approval The Board of Commissioners authorizes the expenditure of available collected impact fees for the purchase of right-of-way dedicated by the applicant, with the applicant constructing a sidewalk as described below. However, if funds cannot be secured, the applicant shall do one of the following: a.

One and two family dwellings will require a fire -flow of 1,000 gallons per minute available for duration of 2 hours to service the entire project. Fire hydrants shall be placed an average of 400' apart. 2. Acceptance of the water supply for fire protection will be by the Meridian Water Department. 3. Final Approval of the fire hydrant locations shall be by the Meridian Fire Department which will be submitted to the Public Works Department. All curbing in front of fire hydrants shall be painted red for 10' on each side of the installation. 4. All roads shall have a turning radius of 28' inside and 48' outside. 5. Operational fire hydrants and temporary or permanent street signs are required before combustible construction begins. 6. The phasing plan may require that any roadway greater than 150' in length that is not provided with an outlet shall be required to have a turn around. 7. The proposed 302 -lot subdivision with an estimated 2.9 residents per household would have a total estimated population of 875 residents at build out. The Meridian Fire Department has experienced 2069 responses in the year 2000 and 2251 calls for service in 2001. 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. 8. The fire department requests that any future signalization installed as the result of the development of this project be equipped with Opticom Sensors to ensure a safe and efficient response by fire and emergency medical service vehicles. This cost of this installation is to be borne by the developer. 9. It is requested that Duane Dr. be connected with frill width street to provide secondary access for the project. 12-04-05 Bruce Sreckleton Gary & Sue Piva City Clerks Office 4110 Greenmeadow Dr Meridian, Idaho Meridian, Idaho 83642 Tel # 322-0396 zuu3 CITY OF Nihii;Lu: � Dear Mr. Sreckleton: We live in Clovermeadow Subdivision near the southwest corner of the proposed Red Feather 92 subdivision.

Green Meadow Dr. Meridian, ID 83642 December 4, 2003 Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission Dear Commission: U{ C - 4 2003 CITY OF ATERIDI� I live in the Clover Meadow Subdivision #2 adjacent to the southern border of the proposed Red Feather #2 subdivision. We purchased our home in 1979. I am concerned about two situations that will arise with the building of this subdivision. With the building of this subdivision, traffic will increase markedly on Ustick Road and on Cloverdale Road. It will become a much more time consuming effort to drive to, for example, Ustick Elementary, than it was in the past. A valuable alternative to driving will be the opportunity to walk or bile. I see that this developer is being required to build sidewalks, which is an excellent idea. It is difficult to tell from the plans whether pedestrian walkways will be available between subdivisions so that pedestrians and bicyclists will be able to move without being funneled to an arterial along vehicular routes. I think that it is especially important that some provision be made for children who may wish to walk or bicycle the relatively short distance to Ustick School for school or soccer practice without being forced to walk along busy arterial roads. Many subdivisions that now incorporate such walkways provide a much higher quality of life than those that don't. fifre or six foot pedestrian easements are a relatively inexpensive and forward thinking solution to the increased traffic that we're all going to face. I hope they'll be provided. My second situation that I am concerned about is the continued availability of irrigation water to our acre. Our neighbors, Gary and Sue Piva, described that situation in their letter of testimony, and I agree with their request that we have continued access to that water. Thank you for considering these requests.

We have reviewed the aforementioned applications and now offer the following comments, as conditions of approval. These conditions shall be considered in full, unless expressly modified or deleted by motion of the Meridian City Council: APPLICATIONS SUMMARY The applicant, Packard Estates Development, LLC, has requested the annexation and rezone of 114.52 acres of land located on the south side of Ustick Road and on the east side of Eagle Road. The requested annexation and rezone extends approximately % mile east of Eagle Road to approximately %2 mile south of Ustick Road. The land within the preliminary plat application (approx. 90 acres) lies within the Medium Density Residential area of the 2002 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map, is presently zoned RUT (county), and is primarily being used for agricultural purposes. In March 2003, the City Council denied a Miscellaneous Application submitted by the same applicant (Packard Estates) which proposed to remove approximately 70 acres of the subject 90 acres from Meridian's Area of Impact. The denial was based, in part, on the fact that the property had a "reasonable likelihood" of being annexed in the near future and would receive Meridian services. The remaining property to be annexed (approx. 24 acres) lies within the Mixed Use -Regional area of RZ-03-009; PP -03-019; CUP -03-034 Redfeather Estates Sub No2.RZ.C(JP.PP Mayor, Council, and P&Z Commission Hearing Date: September 18, 2003 Page 2 the 2002 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map. There are four existing single-family homes and some out -buildings on the site. The Milk Lateral and the South Slough (Finch Lateral) both cross the subject property. The subject applications (AZ, PP and CUP) were submitted concurrently to the Planning & Zoning Department for review. The submitted preliminary plat application proposes 302 residential lots and 28 other lots on 90.29 of the 114.52 acres proposed for annexation and zoning. The 24 acres on Eagle Road proposed as C -G zoning is not included in the preliminary plat. The other lots include common open space, street buffers, micropaths, and storm drain lots. The proposed residential gross density of the subdivision is 3.34 dwelling units per acre; net density is 4.34 dwelling units per acre. The minimum proposed lot size is 5,250 square feet. The applicant is proposing to construct the development in six (6) phases (see preliminary plat for phasing schedule). The applicant has also requested Conditional Use Permit approval for a Planned Development (PD) to allow modified development standards including reduced lot size, reduced minimum house size, reduced lot frontage and block length. (See chart below for a comparison and summary of proposed exceptions.) Lot Size- City Requirement Proposed Lot Sizes R-8: 6,500 sq. ft. per lot (detached) R-8: 5,250 sq. ft. minimum per lot (detached) House Size- City Requirement Proposed Minimum Area 1,301 sq. ft. minimum 1,200 sq. ft. minimum Frontage- City Requirement 65' minimum 40' minimum (cul-de-sac) Block Length -City Requirement 500' minimum 1,000' maximum Proposed Minimum Frontage 37' 33' Proposed Lengths Approximately 215' minimum Approximately 1,850' maximum The applicant has proposed the following amenities as part of the PD: 2.37 acre pocket park with swimming pool and cabana and a 10' wide asphalt multi -use pathway along the site's frontage of the South Slough (Finch Lateral). See Special Considerations under Conditional Use Permit Analysis below for detailed analysis of the proposed amenities. Staff has provided a detailed analysis and recommended conditions of approval for the requested annexation/rezone, preliminary plat and conditional use permit applications below. We are recommending approval of all three applications. However, due to the number of outstanding issues presented in this report, staff is recommending the application be continued by the P&Z Commission. CURRENT OWNERS OF RECORD Harry & Frances Bryson, Melvin R. & Norma E. Schrammeck Trust, Alan & Elaine Durkheimer, Melvina & Will Grant, The Ustick 36, LLC and Archie Ralph Wood are the current property owners and have submitted notarized consent for Packard Estates Development, LLC to submit the subject AZ -03-021 /CUP -03-041 /PP -03-024 Red Feather FSWtes Sub 42.RZ.CUP_PP Mayor, Council, and P&Z Commission Hearing Date: September 18, 2003 Page 3 applications. LOCATION The subject annexation/rezone (AZ -03-021) property is located on the east side of Eagle Road and on the south side of Ustick Road within Section 4, Township 3 North, Range 1 East. The proposed subdivision (PP -03-024) and conditional use permit (CUP -03-041) site is located on the south side of Ustick Road, west of Granger Avenue, south of Duane Drive, extending south from Ustick Road to '/z mile north of Fairview Avenue and near the mid -mile point between Eagle Road and Cloverdale Road. North: Single -Family Residential (Heather Meadows Subdivision), Zoned R -IC (Boise City)/Future Church, Zoned R -1C (Boise City) South: Single -Family Residential (Clover Meadows Subdivision), Zoned R-1 (County)/Agriculture (Turf Farm), Zoned RUT (County) East: Single -Family Residential (Briarwood Subdivision), Zoned A (Boise City)/Approved Dawson Meadows and Red Feather Estates Subdivisions, Zoned R- 1C (Boise City) West: Single -Family Residential on Large (Approximately 2 Acre) Lots (Perkins -Brown Subdivision), Zoned RUT (County)/Agriculture, Zoned RUT (County) 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 residential zoning designations, C -G and R-8, for the proposed Redfeather Estates Subdivision 42, is harmonious with and in accordance with the adopted Comprehensive Plan, which designates the land to be Mixed Use Regional (for the proposed C -G property) and Medium Density Residential (for the proposed R-8 property). B. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be rezoned in the future; Staff finds the proposed zones should not require future rezones, because of the proposed use in the R-8 zone (single-family) and the flexibility for future development on the C -G proposed property. AZ-03-021/CUP-03-041/PP-03-024 Redfeather Estates Sub #2.RZ.CUP.PP Mayor, Council, and P&Z Commission Hearing Date: September 18, 2003 Page 4 C. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to b e developed in the fashion that would be allowed under the new zoning — for example, a residential area turning into commercial area by means of conditional use permits; If the annexation/rezone is approved, staff finds that the residential portion of the zoning amendment would be developed in a manner substantially consistent with the proposed R-8 zone and/or consistent with allowable Planned Development uses. Since no plat or development application accompanied the 24 -acre C -G portion of the application, there is no mechanism to determine suitability and/or future compatibility. Staff is recommending a Development Agreement (DA) be entered into which requires future non-residential uses be approved only through the conditional use procedure. (See AZ Site Specific Condition #4 below.) The applicant has submitted a concurrent preliminary plat for residential uses in the proposed R-8 zone, Redfeather Estates Subdivision #2. 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; Staff finds that the annexation, zoning and redevelopment of parcels to the north and east of this site (within Boise City limits) to medium density residential uses are similar to the proposed use and would be compatible. Recently there have been several larger residential subdivisions, with densities similar to those allowed in the R-8 zone that have been approved by the City of Boise. Providence Place Subdivision, Heather Meadows Subdivision, Dawson Meadows Subdivision and Redfeather Estates Subdivision #1 have all been approved for single-family residences in the vicinity of this site. An annexation and zoning application for a proposed C -G zone was approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission in September 2003 for the 18 acres immediately north of the proposed C -G property within the subject application. The arterial streets adjacent to this site, Ustick Road (between Cloverdale Road and Eagle Road) and Eagle Road are currently not included within ACHD's Five Year Work Program for roadway improvements. 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 R-8 zoning and subsequent residential use proposed in the preliminary p lat in atch t he intended c haracter o f t he v icinity, as n oted o n t he F inure Land Use Map in the Comprehensive Plan. Staff also finds that the proposed zoning/uses can be designed and constructed in a manner that will be harmonious with AZ-03-021/CUP-03-041/PP-03-024 Redfeather Estates Sub U.RZ.CUP.PP Mayor, Council, and P&Z Commission Hearing Date: September 18, 2003 Page 5 and appropriate in appearance with the existing and intended character of the surrounding area. We find that to ensure compatibility of the commercial area, a Development Agreement should be required which will help guide appropriate and harmonious appearances in the future. The existing character of the area will, and is, currently changing, especially upon build -out of the proposed project and other similar subdivisions in the general vicinity. Staff does not find that it will adversely change the essential character of area. F. Will the proposed uses not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighboring uses; Staff finds the Commission and Council should rely on public testimony to determine whether or not the proposed use will be disturbing or hazardous to the neighboring uses. Due to other existing and proposed uses in the vicinity of the site, staff does not anticipate that the proposed rezone/uses will be hazardous to future or existing uses or neighbors in the area. 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; The Commission and Council will need to reference any written or verbal testimony submitted by the Meridian Police Department regarding their ability to adequately service this project. The Meridian Fire Department has submitted a list of conditions and needs in order to adequately serve the project. Water and sanitary sewer service are proposed to be extended from existing service lines in Ustick Road and near the South Slough, via Eagle Road. As of the date of this report, the ACHD Commission has not yet approved the proposed subdivision. ACHD staff is recommending approval with conditions for improving the street infrastructure, vacating right-of-way and other standard requirements. 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; If approved, the developer will be financing the extension of sewer, water, local street infrastructure, utilities and irrigation services to serve the project. The primary public costs to serve the future residents will be fire, police and school facilities and services. Staff finds there will not be excessive additional requirements at public cost and that the rezone will not be detrimental to the community's economic welfare. 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 AZ -03-021 /CUP -03-0411PP-03-024 ,Red feather Estates Sub#2.RZ.CUP.PP Mayor, Council, and P&Z Commission Hearing Date: September 18, 2003 Page 6 the general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors; Staff finds that the proposed residential and commercial zones uses will riot be detrimental to people, property or the general welfare of the area. The proposed uses on the subject property will create additional traffic on nearby arterial roadways. Washington Group International prepared a traffic study for this site. As a result of the site build -out, Washington Group anticipates that traffic on the vicinity roadways are expected to increase as follows: traffic on Ustick Road, west of Duane Drive, may increase by 905 vpd; traffic on Ustick Road east of Grenadier Way may increase by 874 vpd; traffic on Cloverdale Road north of Granger Street may increase by 332 vpd; traffic on Cloverdale Road south of Granger Street may increase by 905 vpd. The intersection of Ustick Road/Cloverdale Road is currently operating at a LOS E with a delay of 56 second per vehicle. At build -out of the Redfeather Estates No. 2 site, the Ustick Road/Cloverdale Road intersection is projected to continue operating at LOS E with a delay of 70 seconds per vehicle. The intersection of Cloverdale Road/Fairview Avenue is currently operating at a LOS F with a delay of 112 seconds. At build -out of the Redfeather Estates No. 2 site, the intersection is projected to continue operating at LOS F with a delay of 112 seconds per vehicle. NOTE: The ACHD Commission will hold a hearing for this project on September 17, 2003. Staff recognizes the fact that traffic and noise will increase with the approval of this subdivision; however, staff does not believe that the amount generated will be detrimental to the general welfare of the public. Staff does not anticipate the proposed annexation and subsequent uses will create excessive noise, smoke, fumes, glare, or odors. 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; ACHD staff has reviewed and recommended approval of the vehicular approach to the site from Ustick Road. The ACED Commission has not formally approved the subject application and proposed vehicle approaches. Further, the applicant is proposing to extend stub streets that were originally approved and constructed to provide efficient access to the site, limiting the amount of interference with traffic on surrounding streets. Please review the ACHD report for this project for additional information regarding this finding. K. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic feature of major importance; and Staff finds the subject site contains existing mature trees which have not been depicted on the submitted landscape plan. Specifically, staff is concerned about a large (approximately 3 0" c aliper) in aple t ree 1 ocated n ear t he s ite's a ast p roperty 1 me n ear Briarwood Drive. This tree may be considered a natural feature of major importance to the adjacent neighborhood and appears to be in good health. Staff recommends that the AZ-03-021/CUP-03-041/PP-03-024 Redfeather Estates Sub k2.RZ.CUP.PP Mayor, Council, and P&Z Commission Hearing Date: September 18, 2003 Page 7 applicant work with staff to allow pedestrian access from the current terminus of Briarwood Drive in Briarwood Subdivision, as proposed, and to retain the existing maple tree. All trees that are removed from this site shall be mitigated in accordance with MCC 12-13-13-6. The South Slough (Finch Lateral) crosses the subject property along the southwest comer of the proposed R-8 property. The applicant is proposing to construct a 10 -foot wide paved multi -use pathway adjacent to the lateral as part of the development proposal for the Redfeather development. If all applicable agency design and treatment standards are complied with, staff finds that the proposed pathway will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of the lateral. Rather the proposal should enhance the lateral by allowing nearby residents to enjoy the feature. Staff is not aware of any other natural or scenic features of major importance in the area that may be affected by the proposed rezone/uses. L. Is the proposed zoning amendment in the best interest of the City of Meridian. (Ord. 592, 11-17-1992) In accordance with the findings listed above, staff finds that the annexation/rezone of this property would be in the best interest of the City. SPECIAL CONSIDERATION There is a one acre out -parcel located at the northeast comer of the subject property. Unless the evidence requested of staff in this report is submitted by the applicant, this out -parcel will need to be incorporated into both the annexation legal description and preliminary plat boundary. See "Special Consideration — Item H" under the Preliminary Plat section below for staff's analysis. ANNEXATION/REZONE CONSIDERATIONS / STANDARD CONDITIONS 1. The legal descriptions submitted with the application appear to meet the requirements of the City of Meridian and State Tax Commission. 2. The subject property is within Meridian's Urban Services Planning Area. 3. Any existing domestic wells and/or septic systems within this project will have to be removed from their domestic service per City Ordinance Section 5-7-517. Wells may be used for non- domestic purposes such as landscape irrigation. 4. Prior to annexation, a Development Agreement shall be entered into between the City of Meridian and the owners of the property to be zoned C -G (Harry & Frances Bryson and Melvin R. and Norma E. Schrammeck Trust) that requires any future uses of the property to be approved only through the conditional use permit process. In addition, the agreement shall include a requirement that either a public or private backage street generally parallel with Eagle Road/SH 55 be incorporated into the design of future site plans. A conceptual master AZ-03-021/CUP-03-041/PP-03-024 Redfeather Lstates Sub,#2.RZ.CU1'.I'1' Mayor, Council, and P&Z Commission Hearing Date: September 18, 2003 Page 8 plan demonstrating interconnectivity, transitional uses, access points and other key land planning issues is required prior to any detailed CUP applications being submitted on either the Bryson or Schrammeck properties. The DA shall also cite the following Comprehensive Plan policies (from Chapter VI and VII) as applicable to these same properties: Transportation Policies Applicable to the Bryson/Schrammeck Annexation: • "Large development proposals that are likely to generate significant traffic should be assessed for their impact on the transportation system and surrounding land uses. They should be examined for ways to encourage all forms of transportation such as transit, walking, and cycling. • New development should not rely on cul-de-sacs since they provide poor fire access, walkability, and neighborhood social life. New development and streets should be designed to encourage walking and bicycling. • In addition to providing for enhanced automobile traffic, Meridian should seek ways to encourage alternative modes of transport. Improvement in and encouraged use of public transit systems is an important first step. Public transit includes bus systems and ridesharing. By fostering such means of high vehicle occupancies, congestion on roadways can be decreased. • Pathways that encourage use by bicyclists and pedestrians can decrease road congestion and add to the community's quality of life. The proposed off-street and multiple -use pathway systems are depicted in Figures VI -3 and VI -4. New and existing developments should ensure that the guidelines laid out in this plan are adopted. • Eagle Road is the major north -south arterial in Ada County. The capacity of this arterial should be protected by minimizing the number and location of private driveway access connections to this important roadway. The City should recognize, adopt, and help implement the Eagle Road Access Control Study, prepared by ACHD in 1997." Mixed Use Development Policies Applicable to the Bryson/Schrammeck Annexation: • "Where feasible, multi -family residential uses will be encouraged, especially for projects with the potential to serve as employment destination centers and when the project is adjacent to State Highways 20-26, 55 or 69; • In developments where multiple commercial and/or office buildings are proposed (not residential), the buildings should be arranged to create some form of common, usable area, such as a plaza or green space; • Where the project is developed adjacent to low or medium density residential uses, a transitional use is encouraged."

All irrigation ditches, laterals or canals, exclusive of natural waterways, intersecting, crossing or lying adjacent and contiguous to the parcel shall be tiled per City Ordinance 12-4-13. Plans will need to be approved by the appropriate irrigation/drainage district, or lateral users association, with written confirmation of said approval submitted to the Public Works Department. PRELIMINARY PLAT ANALYSIS Sections 12-3-3 J.2 and 12-3-5 D read as follows: "In determining the acceptance of a proposed subdivision, the Commission/Council shall consider the objectives of this title and at least the following: A. The conformance of the subdivision with the Comprehensive Development Plan; As noted in the Annexation and Zoning Analysis above, staff finds that the plat is drawn in substantial conformance with the Comprehensive Plan, See Annexation and Zoning Analysis item A. B. The availability of public services to accommodate the proposed development; Staff finds that public services are available to accommodate the proposed development. See Annexation and Zoning Analysis item H. C. The continuity of the proposed development with the capital improvement program; Staff finds that the subdivision will not conflict with the capital improvement program because the developer is installing sewer, water, local street infrastructure, utilities and irrigation, for the development at their cost. See Annexation and Zoning Analysis item H. D. The public financial capability of supporting services for the proposed development; Staff finds that the City and its related services are capable of servicing the proposed development. The development will not require major expenditures for providing supporting services. Staff recommends that the Commission and Council consider the Meridian Police and Fire Departments' comments with regard to their capability to serve the proposed development. E. The other health, safety or environmental problems that may be brought to the Commission's attention. Staff finds that there should not be any other health, safety or environmental problems associated with this subdivision that should be brought to the Council or Commission's attention. ACHD considers road safety issues in their analysis; no AZ-03-021/CUP-03-041/PP-03-024 Reffeather Estates Sub 92.RZ.CUP. PI' Mayor, Council, and P&Z Commission Hearing Date: September 18, 2003 Page 10 hazardous natural features have been identified on the site. Staff finds the Commission and Council should rely on any public testimony that may be presented to determine whether or not the proposed use may cause health, safety or environmental problems that staff is unaware of. SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS (PRELIMINARY PLAT) A. Reduced Lot Frontages: The preliminary plat shows reduced. R-8 lot frontages for 121 buildable lots within the subdivision. The PD application requests these reductions from the standards outlined in MCC. Staff is supportive of this request since all of the proposed buildable lots within the subdivision have at least 37 feet of frontage on straight sections and 33 feet of frontage on cul-de-sacs and this deviation from the standard is allowed with a PD application. See Special Considerations "A" under Conditional Use Pen -nit Analysis. B. Reduced Lot Size: The preliminary plat shows reduced R-8 lot sizes for 37 of the proposed 302 buildable lots. MCC requires 6,500 square -foot lots for single-family detached dwellings. The applicant is proposing to reduce the minimum lot size for the detached dwellings to 5,250 square -feet (approximate 20% reduction). Staff is supportive of this request because the applicant is proposing smaller minimum house sizes and does not need all of the lot area to construct the proposed smaller homes. See Special Consideration "A" under Conditional Use Permit Analysis. C. Block Length: The applicant has shown several blocks on the submitted preliminary plat that do not meet the City's block length standards (maximum and minimum). The PD application requests this deviation from the subdivision design standard. Staff is supportive of the deviation from the block length standard because the shorter blocks (Blocks 15, 16, 17, 18 and 23) actually improve the internal circulation and connectivity of the site and the design of the plat contains a diversity of block types (both grid and curvilinear). There is a mix of T-type intersections, short cul-de-sacs and block lengths that vary in length from 250' to over 1,200'. See Special Considerations "A" under Conditional Use Permit Analysis. D. Ustick Road Right -of -Way: ACHD's staff report provides the applicant three (3) options for dealing with the Ustick Road right-of-way and sidewalk. The plat shows a total of 48 feet from the centerline to the proposed new property line. It appears that the applicant intends to dedicate the ultimate 48 foot right-of-way (23 additional feet) and construct a sidewalk within the new right-of-way. Staff is supportive of this proposal. See Site Specific Condition #4. E. Street Buffers: Landscaped street buffers are required along Ustick Road (arterial). The minimum width of the buffer is 25 feet. hi accordance with MCC, the applicant is proposing a 25 foot wide landscape buffer along Ustick Road for the entire length of the plat. Staff is supportive of the design of the proposed landscape buffer along Ustick Road. See Site Specific Condition 45. F. Street Offsets: The submitted preliminary plats hows E. Arch Court, a cul-de-sac, offsetting Arch S treet, b y approximately 4 5'. In accordance w ith MCC 12-4-2.E, the applicant should AZ-03-021/CUP-03-041/PP-03-024 Redfeather Estates Sub#2.RZ.CUP.PP Mayor, Council, and P&Z Commission Hearing Date: September 18, 2003 Page 11 either align Arch Street with Arch Court, or offset the centerlines by a minimum of 125'. See Site Specific Condition 46 below. G. Stub Streets: The applicant is proposing to extend three (3) platted or existing stub streets into the subject site. Granger Street, Palm Street and Duane Drive are all proposed for extension. Staff is supportive of the extension of these stub streets. See Site Specific Condition #8. The applicant is not proposing to extend a stub street from the recently approved Dawson Meadows Subdivision from its current terminus abutting Lot 1, Block 12. There is an existing home on Lot 1, Block 12, that staff believes will re -develop in the future. At the time that the subject lot re -develops, the stub street from Dawson Meadows should be extended to provide interconnectivity between the developments. The applicant is proposing to construct four (4) stub streets to adjacent parcels. The applicant is proposing to construct a stub street, East Palm Street, to the west property line approximately 500' north of the south property line. Staff is supportive of the location of this stub street due to the fact that this roadway will stub to a 21.34 acre, Ada County parcel that will likely redevelop in the future. The applicant is proposing to construct a stub street, Tweedbrook Avenue, to the south property line approximately 900' east of the west property line. Staff is supportive of the location of this stub street due to the fact that this roadway is stubbed to a 157 acre site that will likely redevelop in the near future. The applicant is proposing to construct a stub street, Tahiti Drive, to the 5 acre out parcel that is located south and east of the subject property. The stub street is anticipated to stub to the out parcels west property line approximately 110' north of the south property line. Staff is supportive of the location of this stub street due to the fact that this roadway is stubbed to a 5 acre site that will likely redevelop in the near future. The applicant is proposing to construct a stub street, Sharon Avenue, to the north property line approximately 100 -feet west of the east property line (near Ustick Road). Staff is supportive of the location of this stub street due to the fact that this roadway is stubbed to a 2.95 acre site that will likely redevelop in the near future. See Site Specific Condition #7. NOTE: It appears that the design of Sharon Avenue stub/turnaround does not extend the roadway improvements all the way to the 2.95 acre parcel. The applicant should coordinate the design and construction of the Sharon Avenue/Place stub with ACHD staff to ensure that there is no unimproved right-of-way between the street and the shared property line, so said roadway can easily be extended in the future. See Site Specific Condition #8. The applicant is proposing to construct a pedestrian path/emergency access (rather than a stub street) at Briarwood Drive. Briar -wood Drive is not constructed, nor was it platted, as a stub street. As a part of the plat for Briarwood Subdivision, the right-of-way extended to the subject site, but only for approximately 20 feet. ACHD policy requires a minimum of 40 feet of right- of-way and a minimum of 24 feet of pavement for a roadway to be utilized by the public. Due to the fact that the applicant is unable to meet the minimum requirements of ACHD and the fact that the applicant is proposing to construct a path for pedestrian connectivity, utilizing the 20 feet of existing right-of-way for Briarwood Drive, staff is supportive of the applicant's AZ-03-021ICUP-03-041/PP-03-024 Redfeather Estates Sub #2.RZ.CUP.PP Mayor, Council, and P&Z Commission Hearing Date: September 18, 2003 Page 12 proposal. We are, however, recommending a re -design of the path location to help preserve the existing maple tree. See Micropaths below (Item K). H. Out-Parcel(s): There is a one acre out -parcel located adjacent to the site (4315 W. Ustick Road — owned by Smitchger) that is currently zoned RUT. According to Record of Survey (ROS) 3847 (Instrument 497029327), a 35.42 acre parcel was split into two (2) parcels in 1997. It appears that the parcels included within ROS 3847 were split illegally. According to Ada County Development Services staff, they would not recognize either one of the recorded parcels as buildable lots since the parcel was not split according to Ada County Code. One of the remnant parcels is within the boundaries of the subject annexation, rezone and conditional use permit applications, but the other is not (the one acre parcel). Unless the applicant can provide staff with a letter from Ada County Development Services stating that they recognize parcel #S 1104121100 as a separate legal parcel from #S 1104121200 (the Ustick 36 LLC parcel), than Parcel #S 1104121100 should be included within the boundaries of the subject annexation, rezone, preliminary plat and conditional use permit. If required by the Commission and/or City Council, the applicant should provide staff with a revised legal description, site plan, preliminary plat and all required documentation amending the applications to include the one acre out -parcel. Said legal description, site plan, preliminary plat and accompanying documentation, should be provided to staff a minimum of 10 days prior to the next scheduled hearing before the P&Z Commission. See Site Specific Condition 916. I. Driveways (Lot 1 Block 12 & Lot 1 Block 21)• There is an existing home and two delineated access points on the proposed Lot 1, Block 12, the three -acre parcel located adjacent to the east boundary. Other than this lot, there is no front -on housing on Granger Street (beginning at Cloverdale Rd and progressing westward). The applicant is not proposing to extend the existing stub street from Dawson Meadows Subdivision at this time but staff is recommending the extension occur in the future. Therefore, prior to final plat submittal of this phase, staff recommends the applicant provide Planning & Zoning staff with an approved sketch of how Lot 1, Block 12, may be developed in the future. Said sketch should include how the access to Lot 1, Block 12, will be provided off of the future stub street (from Dawson Meadows) and not from Granger Street in the future. See Site Specific Condition #15. J. Encroachment Agreement: There are several proposed buildable lots that encroach into the existing 5 0 -foot wide Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District (NMID) easement for the Milk Lateral. The applicant should address the status of discussions with NMID on this issue at the hearing and whether they expect the encroachment to be approved as proposed. A copy of the signed encroachment agreement will be required with the final plat application. See Site Specific Condition #12. K. Micropaths: T he a pplicant s hould w ork w ith P lanning & Zoning s taff on a p edestrian p ath from the proposed Lot 15, Block 12, that ties into Briarwood Drive without destroying or damaging the existing maple tree. See Site Specific Condition #13. L. Right -of -Way Vacation: While not shown, there is an existing 20 -foot right-of-way easement located adjacent to the shared west property line with Perkins -Brown Subdivision. As AZ-03-021/CUP-03-041/PP-03-024 Redfeather Estates Sub #2.RZ.CUP.PP Mayor, Council, and P&Z Commission Hearing Date: September 18, 2003 Page 13 conditioned i n A CHD's s taff r eport, s taff a grees t hat t his r ight-of-way should b e v acated i n order to prevent the lots on Block 9 from being double -fronted.

SITE SPECIFIC CONDITIONS (PRELIMINARY PLAT) All conditions of the accompanying Annexation/Rezone and Conditional Use Permit applications shall also be considered conditions of the Preliminary Plat. The applicant will be required to construct the South Slough Sanitary Sewer Trunk line and lateral sewer mains to provide service to this development. No service lines will be allowed in the off-site segments. Applicant will also be required to construct a temporary all weather 14 - foot wide gravel access road over any undeveloped segments within this project, until such time as the public street is improved. At ultimate build -out, the sewer and water mains shall be located within the improved public right-of-way. 3. The applicant shall be required to extend water mains to and through the proposed development. Water service to the subdivision shall be from existing mains in Ustick Road and from Eagle Road. 4. Dedicate Ustick Road right-of-way in accordance with ACHD's requirements and provide a 25 -foot wide landscape buffer along Ustick Road in accordance with MCC and outside of the ultimate right-of-way. Any future right -of way shall be located on a separate common lot. The required street buffers along Ustick Road shall include 25' of landscaping and may be measured from the future back of curb, since detached sidewalks are required. If the right-of- way ends at the back of curb, the width of the landscape buffer common lot shall be at least 30' wide to provide a full 25' of landscaping exclusive of the sidewalk width. 5. In accordance with MCC 12-13-10-8, the applicant shall construct detached sidewalks adjacent to Ustick Road. The minimum width of the parkway area between the future curb and sidewalk shall be five (5) feet. In any parkway areas less than ten (10) feet wide, tree plantings within the parkways will be restricted to either Class I or Class II trees. 6. Revise the preliminary plat to show Arch Court either aligning with Arch Street (centerline to centerline) or offsetting a minimum of 125 -feet. Construct four (4) stub streets to adjacent properties as proposed. Tahiti Drive, Tweedbrook Avenue, Palm Street and Sharon Avenue/Place shall be constructed as stub streets. Coordinate the design and construction of the Sharon Avenue/Place stub street (and all of stub streets) with ACHD staff. Sharon Avenue/Place shall be constructed to the north property line to allow trouble-free extension of the roadway in the future. 8. Extend Granger Street, Pahn Street and Duane Drive into the site as proposed.

A detailed fencing plan shall be submitted upon application of the final plat. A 6 -foot solid fence shall be required around the perimeter of the subdivision unless the City agrees in writing that such a fence is not required. All fences shall taper down to 3 feet maximum within 20 feet of all right-of-way. Micropath fencing shall be shown per Ordinance 12-13-15-9. The applicant should address intended fencing design at the public hearings. 10. Revise the plat to graphically depict all existing easements o f record, including any off-site right-of-way easements along the west property line. If not currently shown, submit a revised plat at least ten days prior to the next public hearing. 11. The preliminary landscape plan prepared by Harvest Design and dated 7-11-03 is approved as submitted, with the following modifications: A. All fencing adjacent to the open space lot (Lot 3, Block 26) and adjacent to the South Slough multi -use pathway shall be open vision or, if sight obscuring, a maximum of four feet in height. B. The micropath shown on Lot 1, Block 9 (Sheet LS -4) must be located a minimum of five feet from any sight obscuring fencing. C. The street trees shown on Sheet LS -2 and LS -3 (on N. Grenadier Way) are proposed with attached sidewalks. However, the N. Grenadier Way street section shown on Sheet 2 of the preliminary plat shows detached sidewalks. The applicant must ensure the landscape plan and the plat construction drawings reflect the same design and should clarify this at the Commission hearing. 12. Submit a copy of the encroachment agreement with the Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District (NMID) with the final plat application. 13. The applicant has indicated that the pressurized irrigation system within this development is to be owned and operated by the Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District. Underground year-round pressurized irrigation must be provided to all lots within this development. The City of Meridian requires that pressurized irrigation systems be supplied by a year-round source of water. Applicant shall be required to utilize any existing surface or well water for the primary source. If a surface or well source is not available, a single -point connection to the culinary water system shall be required. If a single -point connection is utilized, the developer shall be responsible for the payment of assessments for the common areas prior to signature on the final plat by the Meridian City Engineer. 14. Please submit all updated groundwater/soils monitoring data to the Public Works Department for review. Any drainage areas (detention/retention basins) must be designed to ensure that water is retained only during 100 -year storm events, and for a period of time not to exceed 24 hours. Side slopes within drainage areas shall not exceed 3:1. The project engineer should pay close attention to the results of field studies determining the groundwater, soil type & and characteristics during the design and construction phases. The engineer shall be required to certify that the street centerline elevations are set a minimum of 3 -feet above the highest established normal groundwater elevation. This is to ensure that the bottom elevation of the crawl spaces of homes is at least 1 -foot above groundwater.

Wells may be used for non-domestic purposes such as landscape irrigation. 11. Compaction test results must be submitted to the Meridian Building Department for all building pads receiving engineered backfill, where footing would sit atop fill material. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT ANALYSIS The Commission and Council shall review the particular facts and circumstances of each proposed conditional use in terms of the following and may approve a conditional use permit if they find evidence presented at the hearing(s) is adequate to establish (11-17-3): AZ-03-021/CUP-03-041/PP-03-024 Redfeather Estates Sub #2.RZ.CUP.PP Mayor, Council, and P&Z Commission Hearing Date: September 18, 2003 Page 17 A. That the site is large enough to accommodate the proposed use and all yards, open spaces, parking, landscaping and other features as may be required by this ordinance; Staff finds that some of the proposed lots do not meet the frontage and lot size standards of the proposed zone (R-8). However, relief from such standards was specifically requested in the conditional use permit (PD) application. The purpose of the PD is to promote flexibility in site design. Deviations from the development standards and/or area requirements of the zone may be approved with the PD application. Staff is supportive of the requested lot frontage and lot site deviation since all of the proposed buildable lots within the subdivision have at least 33' of frontage, are a minimum 5,250 square -feet, and this deviation from the standard is allowed with a PD application. NOTE: The applicant is proposing to construct garages with 15 -foot street side setbacks for non -front entry garages. MCC 11-9-1 allows side entry garage setbacks (street) to be reduced to 15 -feet. B. That the proposed use and development plan will be harmonious with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan and in accordance with the requirements of this Ordinance; See Item A under Annexation & Zoning Analysis above. C. That the design, construction, operation, and maintenance will be compatible with other uses in the general neighborhood and with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and that such use will not adversely change the essential character of the same area; See Item E under Annexation & Zoning Analysis above. D. That the proposed use, if it complies with all conditions of the approval imposed, will not adversely affect other property in the vicinity; See Item F under the Annexation & Zoning Analysis above. E. That the proposed use will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services such as highways, street, police, and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water, sewer or that the person responsible for the establishment of proposed conditional use shall be able to provide adequately any such services; See Item G under Annexation & Zoning Analysis above. F. That the proposed use 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; AZ-03-021/CUP-03-041/PP-03-024 Redteatber states Sub 02.RZ.CUP.11P Mayor, Council, and P&Z Commission Hearing Date: September 18, 2003 Page 18 See Item H under Annexation & Zoning Analysis above. G. That the proposed use will not involve activities or processes, materials, equipment, and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property, or general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors; See Item I under Annexation & Zoning Analysis above. H. That the proposed use will have vehicular approaches to the property which shall be so designed as not to create an interference with traffic on surrounding public streets; See Item J under Annexation & Zoning Analysis above. Please review the ACHD report for this project for additional information regarding this finding. I. That the proposed use will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic or historic feature considered to be of major importance. See Item K under Annexation & Zoning Analysis above. SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS (CONDITIONAL USE/PD) A. Reduced Standards: The applicant has requested approval of a PD to allow reduced development standards including block length, reduced frontage, reduced lot sizes and house sizes. As noted in the Conditional Use Permit Analysis above, staff recommends approval of the requested modifications of standards. As part of the approval for the reduced development standards the applicant should present at the public hearing a sample floor plan of a "substandard" house on a reduced lot (50' of frontage). Further, a sample floor plan shall be submitted detailing how a structure will be oriented/constructed on the proposed Lot 8, Block 10 and Lot 1, Block 21. Lot 8, Block 10, is extraordinarily unusual in size and shape and has an irrigation easement and reduced frontage (37'). Also, Lot 1, Block 21, is an unusual lot in that it is located on the inside of a curve and on the opposite side of a T-type intersection. Staff is concerned about access and how the proposed structure for Lot 1, Block 21, will be oriented on the lot. The above required floor plans shall show all existing and proposed easements on the lots as well as building setbacks and the lots relationship to adjacent streets. See Site Specific Condition 92. The Commission and Council should also consider if the requested modifications are acceptable under the PD application. B. Amenities: As part of the PD the applicant is proposing a 2.37 acre pocket park with swimming pool and cabana located approximately half -way between Ustick Road and Granger Street. The applicant is also proposing a 10' wide asphalt multi -use pathway along the site's frontage of the South Slough (Finch Lateral) for a second amenity. AZ -03-021 /CUP -03-04 UPP-03-024 Refeather Estates Sub 42.RZ.CUP.PP Mayor, Council, and P&Z Commission Hearing Date: September 18, 2003 Page 19 In 1996, COMPASS adopted the pathway recommendations laid out in the Ridge -to -Rivers Pathway Plan (1996). The goals of the plan include developing a bikeway and pathway system that encourages non -motorized transportation and enhances recreational opportunities. The City also coordinated with the Nampa -Meridian Irrigation District on pathway planning efforts. The South Slough abutting the site is shown as a proposed multi -use pathway in Figure VI -3 (Off -Street Multiple -Use Pathways) in the adopted Comprehensive Plan. Staff is supportive of the general design of the pocket park including the swimming pool and cabana. Staff is also supportive of a multi -use pathway along the South Slough, as the Comprehensive Plan and the Parks Plan both call for a pathway in this location. However, staff finds that the proposed multi -use pathway along the South Slough is not proportionate to the size and scope of the development (90+ acres and 300+ lots) and does not satisfy the intent of the amenity requirement as outlined in MCC. MCC 12-6-2.A.3.e allows amenities "appropriate to the size and uses of the proposed development." The South Slough cuts across the southwest comer of the site, away from a majority of the housing units. The applicant should be required to provide an additional amenity that is appropriate to the size and use of the proposed development as well as construct the proposed pocket park and a multi- use pathway along the South Slough. Fifteen (15) copies of a revised plat shall be submitted to the City Clerk's office at least ten (10) days prior to the next public hearing for this application. See Site Specific Condition #4. The Commission and Council should review the proposed (and recommended) amenities and determine if they are "appropriate to the size and uses of the proposed development." SITE SPECIFIC CONDITIONS (CONDITIONAL USE) 1. Applicant shall meet all of the requirements of the rezone and preliminary plat as a condition of the conditional use permit. 2. Prior to the Planning & Zoning Commission hearing, submit a sample floor plan of a "substandard" house on a reduced lot (50' of frontage). The applicant shall also submit a sample floor plan detailing how a structure will be oriented/constructed on the proposed Lot 8, Block 10, and Lot 1, Block 21, prior to said hearing. 3. The modified development standards, including reduced lot sizes, reduced frontage requirements, reduced minimum house size and block length requirements, are approved as depicted on the submitted site plan. 4. The applicant should be required to provide an additional amenity within the project that is appropriate to the size and use of the proposed development as well as construct the proposed pocket park and a multi -use pathway along the South Slough. Fifteen (15) copies of a revised plan showing the location and type of a new amenity shall be submitted to the City Clerk's office at least ten (10) days prior to the next P&Z Commission public hearing for this application. All amenities shall either be constructed or bonded for prior to signature on the final plat.

Applicant shall submit 15 copies of a revised preliminary plat/site plan and landscape plan in conformance with this report and the direction of the Planning & Zoning Commission at least 10 days prior to the next hearing on this application. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff supports the subdivision use and general layout except as noted in this report. Staff recommends continuation of the application so that the applicant can reply to the question of the one acre out -parcel, provide the sample lot layouts and revise plans in accordance with this report. Upon resolution of the outstanding design changes, staff recommends approval of the applications with the conditions noted above.

Allowing an exit from Duane Drive into said subdivision should not be allowed. The flow of traffic will be a safety hazard, not only to Duane Drive residents but people living on Ustick. The flow of traffic on Ustick is at its MAX already. With the proposed density of the subdivision, the important issue is safety and quality of life for the residents new and old.

MERIDIAN, ID 83642 September 1, 2003 Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission 660 East Water Tower Lane Meridian, ID 83642 Dear Members of the Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission: RECEIVED SEP 0 4 2003 14;3 SEP I II CITY OF MERM, , I am writing to you as a home -owner in the Perkins -Brown Subdivision in Meridian to express my concerns regarding the development of Redfeather Estates Subdivision No. 2 as proposed by Packard Estates Development. I hope that you will seriously consider my input as I believe the proposed project will seriously and negatively affect the property values, homes, and lives of all of the families in my neighborhood. While acknowledging that growth and expansion is inevitable, I am becoming increasingly concerned over the safety and security of our neighborhood due to the rapid and extensive development of the surrounding area. I am especially concerned about the type of development we are faced with, i.e. high density housing. The proposed development, as presented to homeowners in the Perkins -Brown Subdivision, would provide many homes with reduced setbacks, lot sizes, lot frontages, house sizes, and increased block lengths. The resulting high density of homes and people is obvious and raises the following points which are ultimately safety concerns. • The proposed development has identified North Duane Drive as a major access and egress for Redfeather Estates with an estimated daily increase of 700 — 800 trips. • North Duane is currently only one block long with no sidewalks. • Our children and others on our street, as well as seniors in our neighborhood, are able to walk, ride bikes etc. on the street without fear of excessive traffic and all of the other situations that are a result of heavy traffic. • North Duane connects directly to Ustick Road, which is already heavily traveled. • A recent garage sell, which resulted in only a fraction of the proposed traffic increase, caused enough traffic congestion that access to and egress from North Duane was limited to a single lane causing many dangerous situations. Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission Sept. 1, 2003 Page 2 I purchased my home and property and moved into the Perkins -Brown Subdivision only 7 months ago, but all of my money has gone into our home to provide our children with a quality of life that is greatly enhanced by the safe and peaceful setting of our neighborhood. I am adamantly opposed to opening North Duane as a through -street for the proposed Redfeather Estates Subdivision No. 2. I implore you to consider all of our concerns in determining the growth patterns of the Boise -Meridian area, which is still one of the best places to live and raise a family. Sincerely, �Wlerlj� J. R. Nishioka Home- and property -owner North Duane Drive September 3, 2003 Meridian Planning & Zoning Department Subject Development Near Duane Drive RECEIVED SEP 0 8 2003 City Of Meridian City Clerk Office RXoErVED SEP G 5 2003 CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING & ZONING We are very concerned about the planned development south, east and west of Duane Drive. Using Duane Drive as a collector street for future sub -divisions in the immediate area is a scenario worse than we had ever imagined when we purchased our home 15 years ago. The worst we thought might happen would be that Duane Drive would connect to a small subdivision south of us with no connection to Cloverdale or Fairview Ave. The map shown us by Engineering Solutions indicates that Duane Drive will continue south of the planned development to future developments and may eventually connect to Fairview Ave. The map also shows that Duane Drive will connect to Granger and continue west of the planned development and may eventually be into Eagle Rd. If this were to occur, that would end any resemblance of the quiet neighborhood we all thought we would have. Other reasons we oppose increasing traffic on Duane Drive are: 1) Many of us have to back on to Duane. This would be both difficult and dangerous with additional traffic. 2) Expansion of Duane Drive would likely cause Duane to be widened. We would lose several trees if this were to occur. This would also put our well casing very close to the street and susceptible to tampering and vandalism. 3) Non-residents driving through our neighborhood would not be as courteous as our own drivers. Many would speed through with little thought about safety to our children and pets. 4) Our neighborhood would be more susceptible to crime due to the much higher volume of non-residential traffic. Our homes and our possessions would be exposed to many more people, some of which will not be law-abiding citizens. 5) Our property value would be reduced significantly. 6) We would eventually be forced to connect to city sewer and water. The sewer and water services are desirable, but the cost of connecting combined with the decreased property values would be a financial hit most of us can't afford. We are not against developing the area around us, but would like to minimize the impact on Duane Drive. We would like you to consider the following ideas: 1) Allow only emergency vehicles access to neighborhoods south of Duane Drive. According to Engineering Solutions' plan, access to surrounding areas will be available through Granger and a collector road to Ustick. 2) Reduce the number of houses south of Duane Drive to around 20. Allow only emergency vehicles access to the development through Granger. 3) Build a road east of Duane Drive on Udck for access to the development This road would be designed to accommodate the traffic needs for the proposed developments plus future needs. Duane Drive was designed only to supply the traffic for Perkins' subdivision. 4) Use the proposed road west of Duane to accommodate the additional traffic as in bullet #3. We hope you will address our concerns and consider our alternative proposals. Respectfully yours, n gv Gerald J. and Cathy L. Reeves 2990 Duane Drive Meridian, Idaho 83642 September 3, 2003 Meridian Planning & Zoning Department 660 E. Watertower Lane, Suite 202 Meridian, ID 83642 Subject: Packard Estates Development, LLC for annexation and zoning of 114.5 acres from RUT to R-8 (PD) and C -G zones for proposed Redfeather Estates Subdivision No. 2 To Whom It May Concern: We have been in our home for four and a half years on Duane Drive. When we purchased the home, we chose this area partly because it is a nice quiet area with little traffic where our children can play, walk to the bus stop, ride bikes, ride horses, etc. without the fear of many cars going too fast down the road. If Duane Drive is made to connect to Granger, as is proposed, our family has several concerns. These included: ■ Safety of our young children on our narrow road • Irrigation water- we are concerned about having enough to irrigate our land • Increased noise/traffic • Increased crime • We live in an area with a lot of livestock, which regardless of best efforts, occasionally get out of their pasture. This presents another danger with the increased traffic We are aware that Meridian has grown dramatically in the past 25 years, and will continue to grow. We are not opposed to that, but would propose that the new subdivision be connected to Duane Drive with emergency access only. Our concerns would be addressed by allowing the new area have access to Cloverdale and Ustick as proposed, and safety would be addressed by allowing emergency vehicles a through route. We love our `rural' setting on the skirts of our growing city and hope we can work together to preserve it. Thank you for your consideration and time.

Watertower Lane City Clerk OflMwidian, Id 83642 Meridian, Id 83642 vC.E Re: Packard Estates Development LLC Redfeather Estates Subdivision No.2 rVED SEP_0 3 2003 We have resided on Duane Drive for 24 years. Basically we are opposed to*CITY OF ME & ZONING RIDIAN V&d proposal laid out in the plans furnished to us. Weare not against the property being developed; we are against the density of the subdivision and the problems associated with that density. The major concern is traffic. Both Ustick and Cloverdale Roads are maxed out or approaching maximum according to ACHD traffic count or estimates. The proposal to add some three hundred homes plus the addition of the other forty acres of homes in Boise will add some 3000 to 4000 vehicle trips to these all ready packed roads. How many vehicle trips will be added by the subdivisions now under construction on the 160 acres across Ustick to the north? Schools will also be adversely impacted by the density. Because the homes will be starter priced they will generally have more school -aged children. All of the local schools are full and the children on this street are now being bussed to new schools far removed from the neighborhood, schools are not your problem, but you will contribute to the problem by your approval. What are the plans for the area being annexed that lie west of the 20 acres south of the Perkins -Brown Subdivision that provide the link to the Meridian City limits? We have always considered those 20 acres, though not platted, a part of the Perkins - Brown Subdivision because it is included in our irrigation schedule and was a parcel of the original eighty acres. Putting the south 20 acres in the proposed subdivision will have an adverse effect on our irrigation. The subdivision will be pressure irrigated from our allotted 21/2 inches that we currently us on the basis of 12 hours of water for each 5 -acre parcel on an eight-day rotation. The lawns in the subdivision will not survive on an eight-day rotation, nor will our pastures if the remaining 60 acres have less flow than the current allocation of 21/2 inches of water. Further, why couldn't the proposed stub -street that ends on the west line of the 20 - acres be extended the 1320 feet to Eagle Road to provide access to the proposed subdivision? The property being annexed to the west must have as yet unfiled plans for commercial development that must include Eagle Road access. There are 18 homes and a church on Duane Drive. The homes are mainly on 21/2 - acre parcels with one parcel having 5 acres and the other 1 -acre. Most of the residents have livestock or plan to buy livestock, cattle, horses, goats, sheep and chickens. Six homes have been purchased on the street in last six months; the vacancies caused by having to many animals for the acreage, divorce, older age, or job changes. All the new residents have expressed that they purchased on this street for the same reasons, little traffic on the signed dead end street where kids could play safely and ride bikes, a little oasis isolated from the city traffic and noise. A year ago, we decided to move to a newer house somewhere in the Valley that would match the life style we have here. We looked for 2 months, spent two days with a realtor who finally said, "you won't find another place to match what you have here". We refinanced the house and did extensive three-month contractor remodeling. If the subdivision goes through as proposed we stand to lose our remodeling investment due to decreased property values. Another concern is that in the future Duane Drive could be extended to Fairview Avenue. The current light on Fairview that provides access to Walmart, and the rest of Crossroads Shopping Center tines up exactly with the dead end on Duane Drive. The developer has attempted to keep this from happening by ending the proposed extension of Duane Drive east of the light on Fairview. -- --C-onsideration should be given to requiring the developer to lowerthedensity of the planned lots on the entire development to fit the existing densities, on not only Perkins -Brown Subdivision, but also the properties to the east. Lowed densities especially on the 20 -acres south of Perkins -Brown to 20 to 30 lots would greatly reduce the impact of the estimated projected traffic impacts on Duane Drive. y Sincerely, Fitzroy A. and Virginia elcher we demand that you not use Duane Drive as the entrance into your development and keep the ambiance of our neighborhood as it has been for many years and have the peace and quiteness that all of us have enjoyed. Please reconsider what you are doing to our neighborhood.

According to County and Municipal Guidelines, the consideration of the "negative impacts" on existing neighbors and property must be considered. The project as proposed would have a negative impact on the residents of Duane Drive through: 1. Dramatic increase in traffic creating safety hazards which do not now exist. 2. Property devaluation due to the very high density and congestion created. 9/15/2003 Page 2 of 2 3. Loss of existing landscaping and irrigation facilities if Duane Drive is to be widened. 4. Concern that city sewer and water will be required that will create substantial expenses and disruption to the neighborhood. If this project is to move forward, we request that: 1. You consider strengthening the CC&R's and means of enforcement so the new neighborhood will not deteriorate as many high density projects have. 2. Consider using Duane Drive as an emergency only access without disruption to the landscaping or irrigation facilities. 3. Reduce the density allowing more open space including playground equipment for small children that this type of subdivision has.

When we purchased the home, we chose this area partly because it is a nice quiet area with little traffic where our children can play, walk to the bus stop, ride bikes, ride horses, etc. without the fear of many cars going too fast down the road. If Duane Drive is made to connect to Granger, as is proposed, our family has several concems. These included: • Safety of our young children on our narrow road • Irrigation water- we are concerned about having enough to irrigate our land Increased noise/traffic • Increased crime • We live in an area with a lot of livestock, which regardless of best efforts, occasionally get out of their pasture. This presents another danger with the increased traffic We are aware that Ada County has grown dramatically in the past 25 years, and will continue to grow. We aFe not opposed to than but would prnpnga that the new subdivision be connected to Duane Drive with emergency access only. Our concerns would be addressed by allowing the new area have access to Cloverdale and Ustick, as proposed, and safety, would be addressed by allowing emergency vehicles a thro Inh route. We love our "rural" setting on the skirts of the growing city and hope we can work together to preserve it. Thank you for your consideration and time.
