This item is scheduled to be on the consent agenda on December 3; 2003 at 12:00 noon. Tech Review for this rtem was held with the applicant on Friday November 14, 2003. Please refer to the attachment for request for reconsideration guidelines. Staff contact: Andrea N. Tuning, 208-387-6393-fax, 208-387-6177-phone, atuninga(~.achd.ada.id.us File Numbers: Windsong Subdivision / MPP03-0371 MAZ03-031 Site address: West of Linder Road/North of Ustick Road Applicant/Representative: Landmark Engineering and Planning Clint Boyle 104 9`" Avenue South, Suite C Nampa, Idaho 83651 Owner: Stubblefield Construction Company, Inc PO Box 327 Meridian, Idaho 83680 Application Information: The applicant has submitted an application to the City of Meridian requesting annexation, zoning and preliminary plat approval to construct a 66-lot single-family residential subdivision. The site is currently zoned RUT and is proposed to be rezoned to R-8. The proposed subdivision is proposed to contain 66- builable lots and 2-common lots. The 15.04-acre site is located on the west side of Linder Road and north of Ustick Road. Acreage: 15.04-acres Current Zoning: RUT Proposed Zoning: R-8 Buildable Lots: 66-lots Common Lots: 2-lots Vicinity Map A. Findings of Fact Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate 660 additional vehicle trips per day (10 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. Traffic Impact Study: A traffic impact study was not required with this application, but staff his included the executive summary of the North Meridian Traffic Study. The proposed 12-square mile study area between US 20/26 and Ustick Road and between McDermott Road and Eagle Road has been examined by the Ada County Highway District (ACRD) for anticipated development build out. The following are the principal findings and recommendations of the study: • The study area is anticipated to develop an additional 17,599 dwelling units, 2,744,000 sq. ft of office buildings, 1,929,000 sq.ft. of retail buildings, 12 elementary schools, 2 senior high schools, 2 junior high schools, 38,260 sq. ft of church buildings, and approximately 60 acres of park, at full build out. • The build out scenario of the study area is projected to generate an average daily traffic (ADT) of 276,764 vehicles per day (vpd), of which the peak hour traffic (PHT) will be 28,206 vehicles per hour (vph). Out of these trips approximately 10% of the trips remain internal within each section, and 6% of the trips are pass-by trips. • The distribution of the traffic from all of the study area sections indicate that approximately 30% traffic directed towards south, 27% of the traffic directed towards east, 21% of the traffic directed towards west and north. The remaining 22% of the traffic is distributed within the study area. • At build out, traffic on the arterials is expected to significantly increase. • All of the arterial intersections in the study area are currently operating at acceptable level of service of "C" or better. • The majority of study intersections are projected to meet the peak hour traffic signal warrants at full build out of the area. • Several mid-mile intersections may warrant traffic signals due to the heavy left turn traffic volume. • At full build out, the following improvements may be anticipated within the study area: 0 5-lane road sectiori with right turn lanes at some arterial and access intersections: Chinden Boulevard, McMillan east of Black Cat, Ustick east of Black Cat, Linder, Ten Mile, Meridian south of McMillan, and Locust Grove at Ustick. 0 3-lane road section with right turn lanes at some arterial and access intersections: McMillan west of Black Cat, Ustick west of Black Cat, McDermott, Black Cat, Meridian north of McMillan, and Locust Grove. Due to the large number of inquiries and submitted development applications in this area, staff and the development community realized that the potential for development in this area is significant and the traffic impact studies that each individual developer was submitting did not include the major surrounding developments that are "in the works". Based on development patterns in this area, and the concern surrounding the abutting roadways, ACRD hired Washington Group to conduct a traffic impact study of the northwestern Meridian area from Ustick Road to Chinden Boulevard, and from McDermott Road to Eagle Road. The study was 2 necessary to determine what types of roadway improvements, especially at intersections, would be needed to accommodate the traffic in this area at full build out. One option for funding improving these roadways is the implementation of an extra-ordinary impact fee overlay district. This applicant will be subject to extraordinary fees, should an overlay district be implemented in this area. 4. Site Information: The site is currently vacant. 5. Description of Adjacent Surrounding Area: a. North: Watersong Estates Subdivision (single-family residential subdivision) b. South: Properly that is currently being acquired by ACHD for a storm drainage pond c. East: 9.95-acre with asingle-family residence and 5.8-acre site with asingle-family residence d. West: Bridgetower Subdivision 6. Impacted Roadways Linder Road: Frontage: None Functional Street Classification: Minor Arterial Traffic count: South. of McMillan was 5,853 on 4/16/02 Level of Service: Currently better than "C" Speed limit: 50-mph Nearest intersection: McMillan Road and Linder Road is a 4-way stop Ustick Road and Linder Road is a 4-way stop Ustick Road Frontage: None Functional Street Classification: Minor Arterial Traffic count: West of Linder Road was 6,277 on 4/10/02 Level of Service: Currently better than "C" Speed limit: 50-mph Nearest intersection: Ustick Road and Linder Road is a 4-way stop An acceptable level of service fora 2-lane minor arterial is a level of service E or better. To obtain a level of service E or better a roadway should have less than 15,499 vehicle trips per day. 7. Roadway Improvements Adjacent To and Near the Site Linder Road is improved with 25-feet of pavement with no curb, gutter or sidewalk abutting the site. Ustick Road is improved with 24-feet of pavement with no curb, gutter or sidewalk abutting the site. 8. Existing Right-of-Way Linder Road has 50-feet of existing right-of-way (25-feet from centerline). Ustick Road has 50 to 75-feet of existing right-of-way (25-feet from centerline). 9. Existing Access to the Site The site does not currently access to the public roadway system. The site does abut two stub streets that have been approved through the preliminary platting process. 10. Site History There are no projects within this area that are scheduled in the District's Five Year Work Program. 3 11. Capital Improvements Plan/Five Year Work Program The segment of Ustick Road between Linder Road and Ten Mile Road is not included in the District's Five Year Work Program or the Capital Improvements Plan. The segment of Linder Road between Ustick Road and McMillan Road is not included in the District's Five Year Work Program or the Capital Improvements Plan. Linder Road from Franklin Road to Ustick Road is scheduled in the District's Five Year Work Program and the Capital Improvements Plan (2009 to 2010) to be reconstructed to provide 5-traffic lanes with curb, gutter, sidewalk and bike lanes. 12. Other Development in Area ACHD has reviewed a number of development applications in the North Meridian Planning Area. The following list is a compilation of developments that the District has approved recently within this identified area: • On October 17, 2001 the Commission approved a rezone and preliminary plat application for an 8-lot industrial subdivision on 34.6-acres (Utility Subdivision). Note: Later denied by City of Meridian. • On November 7, 2001 the Commission approved a rezone and annexation application for 370- acres. The Commission also approved a preliminary plat for 336-lots on 175-acres and conditional use approval for a total of 692 single-family residences, 59 senior housing units, 17 office lots, 10 wmmercial lots, and an elementary school (Bridgetower Subdivision). • On February 6, 2002, the Commission approved a preliminary plat application fora 272-lot residential subdivision on 78-acres (Baldwin Park). • On April 17, 2002, the Commission approved a preliminary plat application fora 285-lot subdivision on 75-acres (Heritage Commons Subdivision). • On May 22, 2002, the Commission approved a preliminary plat application for an 876-lot mixed- use subdivision.

The subdivision is proposed to contain 72-single-family residential lots and 1- elementary school lots located on 38.65-acres. • On January 29, 2003, the Commission approved Parkstone Subdivision, a 334-mixed-use subdivision proposed to contain 275-single-family residential lots, 52-townhouse lots, 4-office lots, 2-commercial lots and 1-mini storage lot. • On February 19, 2003, the Commission approved Setter Cove Subdivision, a 16-lot single-family residential subdivision located on 10-acres. • On March 19, 2003, the Commission approved Paramount Subdivision, an 847-lot mixed-use subdivision proposed to contain 764 single-family residential lots, 5-commercial and office lots, 73-townhouse lots, 1multi-family lot (270 apartments), a community center, 1-elementary school lot, 1-high school lot and 2-church lots on 392-acres. • On April 23, 2003, the Commission approved Birthstone Creek Subdivision, a 98-lot residential subdivision consisting of 89 single-family lots, an elementary school site and 8 common lots on 34.5-acres. • On May 28, 2003, the Commission approved Blooming Meadows Subdivision, a 62-lot residential subdivision consisting of 32-single-family lots, 30 multi-family lots and 8 common lots on 11.3- acres. • On July 2, 2003, the Commission approved Kelly Creek Subdivision, a 230-lot mixed us subdivision consisting of 216 single-family lots and 14-commercial/office lots. • On November 7, 2003, the District approved Cobblefield Crossing Subdivision #2, a 39-lot single- family residential subdivision on 7.98-acres. • On November 12, 2003, the Commission approved Saguaro Canyon Subdivision, a 461-lot single-family residential subdivision on 140.25-acres. If staff examines each one of these developments individually, the roadway system appears adequate, but when staff adds each approved development, the traffic capacities of the surrounding roadways reach their 2020 planning thresholds. One option for funding improving these roadways is the implementation of an extra-ordinary impact fee overlay district. This application may also be subject to any extraordinary fees that the District may impose. B. Findings for Consideration Roadway Offsets 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 North Sirocco Avenue to be located approximately 110-feet (measured centerline to centerline) west of Timberlakes Way. This roadway location does not meet 5 District policy. The applicant should construct Sirocco Avenue to offset Timberlakes Way a minimum of 125-feet (measured centerline to centerline). The remaining internal roadways meet minimum offset requirements and should be approved with this application. 2. Access to Public Roadways Windsong Subdivision is proposing to access the public roadway system through Watersong Subdivision and Bridgetower Subdivision. Watersong Subdivision and Bridgetower Subdivision have not completed the final platting process, therefore Windsong Subdivision does not have access to the public roadway system at this time. Due to the fact that Watersong Subdivision and Bridgetower Subdivision have not dedicated right-of-way through the recordation of a final plat, Windsong Subdivision's preliminary plat should be approved contingent upon the right-of-way within Watersong Subdivision and/or Bridgetower Subdivision being dedicated to the public and the roadways being constructed or a financial surety in place for the construction of the roadways prior to the signature of the final plat for Windsong Subdivision. 3. Stub Streets District policy 7205.5 states that stub streets will be required to provide intro-neighborhood circulation or to provide access to adjoining properties. Stub streets will conform with the requirements described in Section 7204.5, 7204.6 and 7204.7, except a temporary cul-de-sac will not be required if the stub street has a length no greater than 150-feet. A sign shall be installed at the terminus of the stub street stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE". In addition, a stub street must meet the following conditions: 1. A stub street shall be designed to slope towards the street intersection and drain surface water toward that intersection, unless a satisfactory storm drain system is installed. 2. The District may require appropriate covenants guaranteeing that the stub street will remain free of obstructions. The applicant is proposing to extend two stub streets and construct two stub streets within the subdivision. The applicant is proposing to extend Timberlakes Way from the north property line approximately 215-feet east of the west properly line. This stub street was approved as a part of Watersong Estates Subdivision. District staff is supportive of the extension of Timberlakes Way 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 Crossland Drive from the west property line approximately 465- feet north of the south properly line. This stub street was approved as a part of Bridgetower Crossing Subdivision. District staff is supportive of the extension of Crossland Drive 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 construct a stub street to the east property line approximately 115-feet south of the north property line. This stub street would serve the 5.8-acre parcel that lies directly to the east of this subject property. Staff is supportive of the location of this stub street. The applicant should not be required to construct a temporary turnaround at the terminus of the stub street due to 6 'the fact that the stub street is less than 150-feet in depth. The applicant should 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 east property line approximately 385-feet north of the south property line. This stub street would serve the 9.95 -acre parcel that lies directly to the east of this subject property. Staff is supportive of the location of this stub street. The applicant should not be required to construct a temporary turnaround at the terminus of the stub street due to the fact that the stub street is less than 150-feet in depth. The applicant should install a sign at the terminus of the roadway stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE". The applicant is not proposing to construct a stub street to the 1.35-acre site to the south due to the fact that that the property is separated by the Cresson Lateral and the property is currently being acquired by ACRD for a regional storm drainage pond (ACRD is negotiating access from Ustick Road). Staff is supportive of the applicant's proposal to not stub to this property. 4. Street Sections 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. The applicant is proposing to construct the internal roadways as 36-foot street sections with curb, gutter and 5-foot concrete sidewalks within 50-feet of right-of-way. This street section meets District policy and should be approved with this application. C. Site Specific Conditions of Approval 1. Construct Sirocco Avenue to offset Timberlakes Way a minimum of 125-feet (measured centerline to centerline). 2. Extend Timberlakes Way from the north property line approximately 215-feet east of the west property line, as proposed. 3. Extend Crossland Drive from the west property line approximately 465-feet north of the south property line, as proposed. 4. Construct a stub street to the east property line approximately 115-feet south of the north property line, as proposed. Install a sign at the terminus of the roadway stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE". 5. Construct a stub street to the east property line approximately 385-feet north of the south property line, as proposed. Install a sign at the terminus of the roadway stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE". 6. Construct the internal roadways as 36-foot street sections with curb, gutter and 5-foot concrete sidewalks within 50-feet of right-of-way, as proposed. 7 7.

Payment of applicable road impact fees are required prior to building construction in accordance with Ordinance #198, also known as Ada County Highway District Road Impact Fee Ordinance. 9. It is the responsibility of the applicant to verify all existing utilities within the right-of-way. The applicant at no cost to ACHD shall repair existing utilities damaged by the applicant. The applicant shall be required to call DIGLINE (1-800-342-1585) at least iwo full business days prior to breaking ground within ACHD right-of-way. The applicant shall contact ACHD Traffic Operations 387-6190 in the event any ACHD conduits (spare or filled) are compromised during any phase of construction. 10. No change in the terms and conditions of this approval shall be valid unless they are in writing and signed by the applicant or the applicant's authorized representative and an authorized representative of the Ada County Highway District. The burden shall be upon the applicant to obtain written confirmation of any change from the Ada County Highway District. 11. Any change by the applicant in the planned use of the property which is the subject of this application, shall require the applicant to comply with all rules, regulations, ordinances, plans, or other regulatory and legal restrictions in force at the time the applicant or its successors in interest advises the Highway District of its intent to change the planned use of the subject property unless a waiver/variance of said requirements or other legal relief is granted pursuant to the law in effect at the time the change in use is sought. E. Conclusions of Law The proposed site plan is approved, if all of the Site Specific and Standard Conditions of Approval are satisfied. 2. ACHD requirements are intended to assure that the proposed use/development will not place an undue burden on the existing vehicular and pedestrian transportation system within the vicinity impacted by the proposed development.

Approximately 5.1 perceat (0.76 acres) of the gross area of the site is devoted to open space. The Applicant is proposing to conshuct the development in two phases. The subject site is cun'emiy used for agricultural purposes, The subject site does not currently have any public street frontage. Access to the site is currently provided via an easement across a parcel to the east. Sometimes this indicates that it is an illegal parcel. However, the Applicant has provided staff with a copy of a deed showing that the subject parcel has been in the same configuration since 1978, prior to the City adopting a Zoning and Development Ordinance.

AZPP.doc Planning ,& Zoning Commission(Mayor & City Council December 18, 2603 Page 2 The Applicant is requesting a waiver of the requirement to cover, tile, or pipe the Cresson Lateral abutting the southern boundary of the site. Meridian City Code 12-4-13 requires all irrigation ditches, laterals or canals, exclusive of natural waterways to be covered and enclosed with tiling or other covering. See Special Consideration "B" in the Preliminary Plat Analysis below. The Applicant is propo~ng to extend two stub streets into the subject property from previously approved developments to the north and west. As part of the approval for Watersong Subdivision, Timberlakes Way was stubbed to the north property tine of the subject site. As part of the Bridgetower development, Crossland Drive was stubbed to the west property line of the subject site. The Applicant is extending the above-mentioned stub streets and providing two additional stub streets to the two undeveloped parcels to the east. See Special Consideration "C" in the Preliminary Plat Analysis below. Stab is recommending approval of the annexation, zoning and preliminary plat applications, with the conditions outlined in this report.

AN1~E?XATIO~T~„~7`iQN~TG ANALYS,I~^ According to Ordinance 11-15-11, Genera! Standards Applicable to Zoning Amendments, bath the Planning 8c Zoning Commission and City Council are required "to review the particular facts and circumstances of each proposed zoning amendmem in terms of the following standards and shall fmd adequate evidence answering the following questions about the proposed zoning amendment." The following is the list of standards found in I 1-15-11 and analysis by staff: A. Will the new zoning he harmonious with and in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan and, if not, has there been an application for a Comprehensive Plan amendment; nz-0soat, PP~•oa~ Windemig 9ub.AZPP.daa Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council December 18, 2003 Page 3 In Chapter VII of the Comprehensive Plan, "medium density" is defined as areas including single-family homes at densities of three to eight dwelling units per acre. Staff finds that the requested zoning designation, R-8, is harmonious with and in accordance with the 2002 Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map, which designates the land to be "Medium Density Residential". B. Is the area inclnded in the zoning amendment intended to be rezoned in the future; Concurrent with the annexation and zoning application, the Applicant has submitted a preliminary plat proposing single-family lots on the subject site (Windsong Subdivision, PP-03-037). Staff does not anticipate that the Applicant intends to rezone the subject property in the future. C. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be developed in the fashion that wonhi be allowed under the new zoning -for example, a residential area turning into a commercial area by means of conditional use permits; Staff fmds that the proposed, concurrent, residenrial subdivision could be allowed within the requested R-8 zone. D. Has there been a change in the area or adjacent areas which may dictate that the area should be rezoned For example, have the streets been widened, new railroad access been developed or planned or adjacent area being developed in a fashion similar to the proposed rezone area; Several residernial developmerns in this azea are changing the historically agricultural nature of the area to be urban residential. Staff finds that the subject site is proposed for development in a fashion similar to other properties in the area. However, neither section of Linder Road nor Ustick Road abutting this site are currernly within ACHD's Five Year Work Program or Capital Improvements Plan (C1P). Other urban services, such as sewer and water, are near to this site and the Applicam should be able to extend such services to the site. The Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council should consider whether the timing is correct for expansion of the city limits to this site. 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 wi71 not change the essential character of the same area; Staff finds that the proposed R-8 zoning and subsequern residential use proposed with the concurrent preliminary plat match the intended character of the vicinity, as noted on the Future Land Use Map in the Comprehensive Plan. Staff also finds that the proposed zotting/uses can be designed and constructed in a manner that AZ03-031, PP-03-03 w~ sonazre.aa Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council December 18, 2003 Page 4 will be harmonious with, and appropriate in appearance with, the existing and intended character of the surrounding azea. 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 the proposed zoning/uses will adversely change the essential character of area. See Preliminary Plat Analysis below. F. Will the proposed uses not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighboring uses; Due to other existing and proposed uses near the site, staff does not anticipate that the proposed zoning/uses will be hazardous to future or existing uses or neighbors in the area. Staff recommends that the Commission and Council rely on public testimony to determine whether the proposed use will be disturbing or haaadous to the neighboring uses. G. Will the area be served adequately by essential pnblic facilities and services such as highways, streets, police and Ere protection, drainage etractures, refase disposal, water, sewer or that the person responsible for the establishment of proposed zoning amendmenE shall be able to provide adequately any of such services; The Commission and Council should reference any written or verbal testimony submitted by the Meridian Police Deparhnern 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 to this developmern is proposed to be extended from existing/or mains being installed in adjacent subdivisions. The ACHI) is recommending, with site-specific and standards conditions, approval of the subject development. H. WiU not create excessive additional requirements at public cost far 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 stre~ 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. L Will the proposed uses sot involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property or the general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fume, glare or odors; AZ03031, PP-03-037 ' WhWemig WbAZ.PP.doa Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayar ~@ City Council December 18, 2003 Page 5 Staff finds that the proposed residential zoning/uses will not be detrimental to people, property or the general welfare of the area. Staff recognizes 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; The subject site does not have any vehicular approaches to the site from nearby arterial or collector roads. This site must rely on the construction and conveyance of stub streets from the north and west for access. The extension of these stub streets, will allow traffic to disperse without creating interference on public streets in the area. Please review the ACRD 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 is not aware of any natural or scenic feature(s) that would be lost, damaged or destroyed by allowing this site to be annexed, zoned and developed with residential uses. Any existing trees larger than ~" caliper that are removed shall be mitigated for, per the Landscape Ordinance. L. Is the proposed zoning amendment in the best interest of the City of Meridian. (Ord. 592,11-17-1992)" In accordance with the fmdirigs listed above, sta,,~{finds that the amtexation/rezone of this property would be i!t the best interest of the City. 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 lies within Meridian's Urban Services Planning Area. 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. PRELIMINARY PLAT ANALYSIS Sections 12-3-3 J.2 and 12-3-3 D read as follows: "ia determining the acceptance of a proposed subdivision, the Commission/Council shall consider the objectives of this title and at least the following: AL03-031, PP-03-0.tt Wmdm~g BubAZPP.doo Planning & Zoning ConunissionlMayor & City Council December 113, 2003 Page 6 A. The conformance of the subdivision with tde Comprehensive Development Plan; In Chapter VII of the Comprehensive Plan, medium density is defined as areas including single-family homes at densities of three to eight dwelling units per acre. Staff finds that the proposed single-family residential subdivision, with a gross density of 4.4 dwelling units per acre (net 5,7 dwelling units per acre), is harmonious with and in accordance with the 2002 Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map, which designates the land to be Medium Density Residential. 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 "H" above. C. The continuity of the proposed development with the capital improvement program; Staff fords that the subdivision will not conflict with the capital improvement program because the developer is required to install sewer, water, local street infrastrtuxure, udlhies and irrigation, for the development at their cost. D. The public financial capability of supporting services for the proposed development; Stmt' 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 thew capability to serve the proposed development. E. The other health, safety or environmental problems that may be brough# to the Commission's attention. Staff finds that there should not be any other health, safety or environmernal problems associated with this subdivision that should be brought to the Council or Commission's attention. ACI4D considers road safety issues in their analysis; no 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 the proposed use may cause health, safety or environmental problems that staff is unaware of. PRELINIINA_RY PLAT SPECLAi CONSIDERATIONS A2-03~031~ PR-03~637 VlmAmig Sub.nL.PP.dao Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council December 18, 2003 Page 7 A. F.xistine Parcel Configuration• The parcel proposed for development does not have frontage on a public or a private street. Access to this site is currently provided via an easement across the parcel directly to the east. The lack of frontage on a public road sometimes indicates that a properly was the result of an illegal split. That is not the case with the subject parcel. During the pryapplication conference with the Applicant, staff requested a copy of a deed with a legal description for the subject property that was dated prior to 1984, the year the City adopted subdivision and development standards. The Applicant has provided stall•'with a copy of a deed showing that the subject site has been in the same general configuration since 1978. A deed recorded prior to 1984, with a legal description matching the legal description of the property today, legitimizes the legality of the configuration of this parcel. Therefore, even though the parcel does not have any frortage on an approved public or private street, the City should recognize the subject parcel as a legal pazcel, eligible for development independent of the parcel it was split from. However, in order for the City to approve a subdivision on this site, access to the public roadway system must be provided. Prior to the City Engineer's signature of a final plat, either the Timberlake Way or Crossland Drive stub shall 6e constructed to this site. Said road(s) shall be constructed and approved by ACRD. See Site Specific Condition #1. B. Stub Strec~s: The Applicant is proposing to emend two stub streets into the subject property from previously approved developmems to the north and west. As part of the approval for Watersong Subdivision, Timberlakes Way was stubbed to the north property line of the subject site. As part of the Bridgetower development, Crossland Arive was stubbed to the west property line of the subject site. The Applicant is extending the above-mentioned stub streets and providing two additional stub streets to the two undeveloped parcels to the east. Stag' is supportive of the extension of the two stub streets to the north and west and providing two new stub streets to the parcels to the east (Parcel Nos. 50435449700 & S0435449905), as proposed. See Site Specific Condition #2. C. PiQing of Ditched: Meridian City Code 12-4-13.A,1 requires all irrigation ditches, laterals or canals, exclusive of natural waterways, intersecting, crossing or lying adjacent and contiguous, or which canals, ditches or lateral touch either or both sides of the area being subdivided, shall be covered and enclosed with tiling or other covering equivalent in ability to detour access to said ditch, lateral or canal. This site abuts two irrigation ditches/laterals. To the north is the Coleman Lateral, and to the south is the Cresson Lateral. One of the conditions of approval for Watersong Subdivision, directly to the north of the subject site, was to cover/tile the Coleman Lateral. As part of the Bridgetower Crossing Subdivision development, the Creason Lateral west of the subject site, is currently tiled. Both laterals are currently open adjacent to the subject site. The Applicant has requested a waiver of the requirement to file or cover the Cresson Lateral, on the south side of the development. The Applicant claims that a 48-inch pipe will be needed to pipe this section of the Cresson Lateral, and that the City has historically not required the tiling of laterals that require a pipe diameter of 48 inches. The Applicam also states that that property directly south ofthe Cresson Lateral will be a t1Z0}031, PP-03-03Y WiMemi68ubAZPP.doo Planning & Zoning Commissiop/Mayor & City Council December 18, 2003 Page 8 future ACRD storm drain pond, and that the public health and safety do not appear to be promoted by tiling the Cresson Lateral. Meridian City Code 12-4-13.A.2 allows the City to waive the requirement for covering a ditch, lateral or canal, if it finds that the public purpose requiring such will not be served in the individual case. Staff finds that because the pr,~pgly directly to the south of the Cresson Lateral is planned for storm drainag retention and because thine the latera[ will not improve nubiic health. safety or welfare the Applicarn should not be required to file that crosses intersects or lies adjacem to the subject site. See Site Specific Condition #3. D. Encroachment Ageeement: There are several proposed buildable lots that encroach into the existing Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District (Nlt~) easements for the Cresson and Coleman Laterals. The Applicant has indicated that they expect NMID to approve an encroachmern into the Cresson Latera! and Coleman Lateral easements. If NMID does not allow encroachements into the entire easement area as proposed, the Applicant shall create a common lot for the non-encroachment areas. All buildable lots within the subdivision shall maintain a minimum 6,500 square foot lot area. Prior to development plan approval, a copy of the signed encroachment agreement shall be submitted to the Public Works Departmern. See Site Specific Condition #4. F, Pressure Irri txgL ion: Due to unresolved agreements with adjacent subdivision(s), the Applicant is not sure who will own and mairnain the pressurized imgation system within this developmern. If the pressurized irrigation system within this development is to remain a private homeowners' association system, complete plans and specifications should be reviewed by the Public Works Department as part of the developmern plan review process. A draft copy of the pressurised irrigation system O&M manual must be submitted prior to plan approval. The City of Meridian requires that pressurised irrigation systems be supplied by a year- round source of water. The Applicant should be required to utilize any existing surface or well water for the primary source. If a surface or well source is not available, a singlet point connection to the culinary water system shall be required. If a single-poirn 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. See Site Specific Condition #5. G. Co~.mon Drives/Frornage: Meridian City Code 11-9-1 requres 65 feet of frornage for lots containing single-family dwellings in the R-8 zone. However, City Code allows street frontage for two lots sharing a common driveway to be reduced to I S feet (each) from the standard requirement (MCC 11-9-1). The Applicant is proposing to utilize common driveways for Lots 2 and 3, Block 1, and for Lots 23 and 24, Block 1. Frontage for the lots sharing a common driveway may be reduced to 15 feet, as proposed. Meridian City Code 12-4-14 requires common drives serving two dwelling units to be constructed nz.oio3~.ar-m~on w~s~s.nzrr.aa Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council December 18, 2003 Page 9 a minimum of 16-feet wide, with crushed gravel and asphaltic concrete paving. See Site Specific Condition #6. Meridian City Code also allows street frontage on cul-de-sac lots in the R-8 zone to be reduced to 40 feet and frontage for flag lots to be reduced to 30 feet. The majority of the lots within the proposed preliminary plat have at least 65 feet of frontage. However, Lot 4 (62 feet), Lot 14 (49 feet), Lot 22 (51 feet) and Lot 25 (51 feet), Block 1, have less than 65 feet of frontage and are not considered flag lots and are not located on cul-de-sacs. However, all of the above-listed lots front on curves in the adjacent roadway. Staff has allowed the cul-de-sac standard to apply to lots in these instances. The alternative is for the developer to construct "bulb-outs" in the streets. In general, staff does not support bulb-outs, as they add ueneceasary pavement and serve no purpose except to meet the fromage requirement. In this case, staff is interpreting the reduced street fromages allowed on cul-de-sacs and for flag lots to include lots fronting on 90-degree (approximate) curves. The majority of Lot 4, Block 1, is on the straight portion of the abutting street (Sirocco Avenue) and can meet the 65 foot minimum street frontage with a minor modification to the plat. By taking 3 feet of frontage from Lot 3 and adding it to Lot 4, both lots will be in compliance with the above-mentioned subdivision design standard for frontage. Staff is supportive of the reduced street frontages for Lots 14, 22 and 25, Block 1, as shown on the preliminary plat. See Site Specific Condition #7 1. Extend Crossland Drive and Timberlakes Way, previously approved stub streets to the north and west, into the subject site. Prior to the City Engineer's signature of a final plat, either the Timberlake Way or Crossland Drive stub street(s) shall be constructed to this site. Said road(s) shall be constructed and approved by ACHD. 2. Construct two (2) new stub streets to the abutting properties to the east, as proposed. Windswept Street and Sahara Street shall be constructed as stub streets to Parcel Nos. 50435449700 & 50435449905. 3. In accordance with Meridian City Code 12-4-13.A.1, the Applicant shall be required to file or cover the Coleman Lateral. The Applicant shall not be required to file or cover the Cresson Lateral abutting the site. Any ditch, canal or lateral to be piped shall be shown on plans, which shall be approved by the appropriate irrigation/drainage district, or lateral users association, with written confirmation of said approval submitted to the Public Works Department. 4. Prior to development plan approval, a copy of a signed agreement for the proposed buildable lots that encroach into the existing Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District (NMID) easements shall be submitted to the Public Works Department. If Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District does not approve the encroachments as proposed, buildable lot lines shall be set at the boundary line of the encroachment and the Applicant shall create a common lot for the non-encroachment areas. nuaoa~,er-0ao3~ wmd,m~geun.nzim,aoo Planning 8c Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council December 18, 2003 Page 10 5. Underground ar-ro 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. If the pressurized irrigation system within this development is to remain a private homeowners' association system, complete plans and specifications shall be reviewed by the Public Works Department as part of the development plan review process. A draft copy of the pressurized irrigation system O&M manual shall be submitted prior to plan approval. The Applicant shall be required to utilize any existing surface or well water for the primary source. ff a surface or well source is not available, asingle-poim connection to the culinary water system shad be required. If a single-point connection is utilized, the developer shall be responsible for the payment of assessmems for the common areas prior to signature on the final pled by the City Engineer. 6. Lets 2 and 3, Block 1, and Lots 23 and 24, Block 1 shall utilize common driveways, as proposed. Frontage for Lots 2, 3, 23 and 24 may be reduced to 1 S feet (minimum). Said common driveways shall be constructed a minimum of 16-feet wide, with gravel and asphaltic concrete paving as outlined in Meridian City Code 12-4-14, 7. Except for the lots listed in Condition #6 above and Lots 14, 22 and 25 all buildable lots within the proposed subdivision shall have a minimum 65 feet of street frontage. All buildable lots within the subdivision shall have a minimum lot area of 6,500 square feet. 8. Sanitary sewer and water service to this site shall be via main line extensions from existing mains or mates being installed adjacent to the property. The applicant shall be required to extend sewer and water mains to and through the proposed development, thereby making them available to the adjacent properties. The Applicant shall coordinate main sizing and routing with the Public Works Department. 9. Please submit final groundwater/soils monitoring data as prepared by a soils scientist with the final plat. Any drainage areas (detenkion/retemion basins) must be designed to ensure that water will percolate or discharge within a period of time not to exceed 24 hours for all stomas up to and including a 100-year storm event. Side slopes within drainage areas shall not exceed 3:1. The project engineer should pay close atteaation to the results of field studies determining the groundwater, soil type & and characteristics during the design and construction phases. GENERAL COlfl<MEN~3 1. All conditions of the accompanying Annexation/Rezone application shall also be considered conditions of the Preliminary Plat. 2.

The Meridian School District has experienced phenomenal student growth the last ten years. The high schools, middle schools, and elementary schools throughout the district are operating over capacity. Approval of Windsong Subdivision will have a significant impact on school enrollments at Ponderosa Elementary, Eagle Middle, and Eagle High School. We can predict that these homes, when completed, will house twenty (20) elementary aged children, eighteen (18) middle school aged children, and fourteen (14) senior high aged students. Additional students will further compound the current overcrowded situation. School capacity is addressed in Idaho Code 67-6508. The Meridian School District is currently eperaring beyond capacity. Future development will continue to have an impact on the district's capacity. If you have any questions, please contact me at 888-6701.
