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 20126 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 section 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
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

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.
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

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 andJor 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 W indsong Subdivision.
3. Stub Streets
District policy 7205.5 states that stub streets will be required to provide intra-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 property 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 property 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 Creason Lateral and the properly is currently being
acquired by ACHD 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 W ILL BE
EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE".
5. Construct a stub street to the east properly 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.

8. 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 two 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.
8
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.

3. Request for Reconsideration Guidelines
10
Request for Reconsideration of Commission Action
Request for Reconsideration of Commission Action: A Commissioner, a member of ACHD staff
or any other person objecting to any final action taken by the Commission may request
reconsideration of that action, provided the request is not for a reconsideration of an action previously
requested to be reconsidered, an action whose provisions have been partly and materially carried
out, or an action that has created a contractual relationship with third parties.
a. Only a Commission member who voted with the prevailing side can move for reconsideration,
but the motion may be seconded by any Commissioner and is voted on by all Commissioners
present.
If a motion to reconsider is made and seconded it is subject to a motion to postpone to a
certain time.
b. The request must be in writing and delivered to the Secretary of the Highway District no later
than 3:00 p.m. on the day prior to the Commission's next scheduled regular meeting following
the meeting at which the action to be reconsidered was taken. Upon receipt of the request,
the Secretary shall cause the same to be placed on the agenda for that next scheduled
regular Commission meeting.
c. The request for reconsideration must be supported by written documentation setting forth new
facts and information not presented at the earlier meeting, or a changed situation that has
developed since the taking of the earlier vote, or information establishing an error of fact or
law in the earlier action. The request may also be supported by oral testimony at the meeting.
d. If a motion to reconsider passes, the effect is the original matter is in the exact position it
occupied the moment before it was voted on originally. It will normally be returned to ACHD
staff for further review. The Commission may set the date of the meeting at which the matter
is to be returned. The Commission shall only take action on the original matter at a meeting
where the agenda notice so provides.
e. At the meeting where the original matter is again on the agenda for Commission action,
interested persons and ACHD staff may present such written and oral testimony as the
President of the Commission determines to be appropriate, and the Commission may take
any action the majority of the Commission deems advisable.
f. If a motion to reconsider passes, the applicant may be charged a reasonable fee, to cover
administrative costs, as established by the Commission.

APPLICATION 3Lrn~rMaRv
The Applicant, Landmark Engineering & Planning, Inc., has applied for Annexation, Zoning,
and Preliminary Plat approval of sixty-six (66) building lots and two (2) other lots on 15.04 acres
of land located near the northwest corner of Uatick Road and Linder Road. This site is
designated as Medium Density Residential on the City of Meridian Future Land Use Map. The
requested zoning designation for the property is R-8. The gross density of the proposed
subdivision is 4.4 dwelling units per acre. The net density of the subdivision is 5.7 dwelling units
per acre. The single-family building lots within the subdivision range from 6,500 square feet to
11,745 square feet. All housing types are proposed as single-family detached. Approximately 5.1
percent (0.76 acres) of the gmss area of the site is devoted to open space. The Applicant is
proposing to construct the development in two phases. The subject site is currerniy used for
agricultural purposes.
The subject site does not currently have any public street frontage. Access to the site is currernly
provided via an easement across a parcel to the east. Sometimes this indicates that it is an illegal
parcel. However, the Applicarn 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. See Special Consideration "A" in the Preliminary Plat Analysis below.

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 Appficam is proposing to extend two stub streets into the subject property from previously
approved developments to the north and west. As part of the approval for Wateraong
Subdivision, Timberlakes Way was stubbed to the north property line of the subject site. As part
of the Bridgetower developmem, Crossland Drive was stubbed to the west property sine 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.
Staff is recommending approval of the annesstion, zoning and preliminary plat
applications, with the conditions outlined in this report.
CATION
The property is located approximately 300 feet north of Ustick Road and approximately 600 feet
west of Linder Road, within Section 35 of Township 4 North, Range 1 West.

A~~TION ~ ZONiNG ANALYSIS
According to Ordinance i1-15-11, General Standards.4pplicable to ZorringAmendmenis, both
the Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council are required "to review the particular facts
and circumstances of each proposed zoning amendment in farms of the following standards and
shall find adequate evidence answering the following questions about the proposed zoning
amendment."
The fopowing 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;
nuswt, ee-o3.a3~ w~aeo~a sd~,nzer.ao~
Planning & Zoning CammissioniMayor & City Council
December 18, 2003
Fage 3
In Chapter VII of the Comprehensive Plan, "medium density" is defined as areas
inchuling single family homes at densities of three to eight dwelling units per
acre. Staff finds that the r~uested 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".
H. )(s the area included 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
httends to rezone the subject property in the future.
C. Ta the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be developed in the
fashion that would be allowed under the new coning -for example, a
residential area turning into a commercial area by means of conditional use
permits;
Staff finds that the proposed, concurrent, residential 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
ran7road access been developed or punned or adjacent area being developed
in a fashion similar to the proposed rezone area;
Several residential developments in this area are changing the historically
agricultural nature of the area to be urbaa 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 currently within ACHD's Five Year Work Program or Capital Improvemerns
Plan (CIP). Other urban services, such as sewer and water, are near to this site and
the Applicant should be able to extend such services to the site. The Punning &
Zoning Commission rind 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, constraeted, operated and maintained to
be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the eaistiog or intended
character of the general vicinity and that such use wn~l not change the
easeutial character of the same area;
Staff finds that the proposed R-8 zoning and subsequent 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. Stan also finds
that the proposed aoning(uses can be designed and constructed in a manner that
AZ03-031, PP-03-03'I NvM~ong $u6,gY,.PP.doc
Planning & Zoning Commission(Mayor & City Council
Decomber 18, 2003
Page 4
will be harmonious with, and appropriate in appearance with, the existing and
intended character of the surrounding area. The existing character of the area will,
and is, currently changing, especially upon buitd-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 essemial character of area. See
Preliminary Plat Analysis below.
F. Wfil 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 Comrission and Council rely on public
testurtony to determine whether the proposed use will be disturbing or hazardous
to the neighboring uses.
G. W~71 the area be served adequately by essential pnblic 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 should reference any written or verbal testimony
submitted by the Meridian Police Department regarding their ability to adequately
service this project. The Meridian Fire Departmem has submitted a list of
conditions and needs in order to adequately serve the project. Water and sanitary
sewer service to this development is proposed to be extended from existing/or
mains being installed in adjacent subdivisions. The ACRD is recommending, with
site-specific and standards conditions, approval of the subject development.
H. Will sot create eacesaive additional regnirementa 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 coats 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 not involve uses, activities, processes, materials,
equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any
peraoas, property or the general welfare by reason of excessive production of
traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors;
A7A3-031. PP-03d39 NMdemg SP6AZ.Ppdoa
Planning & Zoning CommissionlMayor & City Council
December 18, 2003

Staff finds that the proposed resideYrtial zoningluses will not be detrimental to
people, property or the general welfare of the area. Staff recognises that traffic
sad 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 sot 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 ACHD report for this project for additional
information regarding this finding.
K WTI 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, coned and developed with
residential uses. Any existing trees larger than 4" caliper that are removed shall be
mitigated for, per the Landscape Ordinance.
L. Ts the proposed zoning amendment in the best interest of the City of
Meridian. (Ord. 392,11-17-1992)"
In accordance with the findings listed above, sta,,~, finds that the
amrexation/rezone of this property would 6e in the best interest of the City.
i. 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.
PRELIMIN~Y~LAT ANALYSIS
Sections 12-3-3 J.2 and 12.3-3 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;
In Chapter VII of the Comprehensive Pian, 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 wfth the capital improvement
program,
Staff finds that the subdivision will not conflict with the capital improvement
program because the developer is required to install sewer, water, local street
infrastructure, utilities and irrigation, for the development at their cost.
D. The public Pmancial capability of supporting services for the proposed
development;
Staff finds that the City and its related services are capable of servicing the
proposed developmern. 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 heath, safety or environmental
problems associated with this subdivision that should be brought to the Council or
Commission's attention. ACFID 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 heahh, safety or
environmental problems that stag' is unaware of.

A. Existing Parcel Confi 'on: 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 property was the resuh of an illegal split. That is not the case
with the subject parcel. During the pre-application conference with the Applicam, staff
requested a copy of a deed with a legal description for the subject properly that was dated
prior to 1984, the year the City adopted subdivision and development standards. The
Applicam has provided staff 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, whh 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
frontage on an approved public or private street, the City should recognize the subject
parcel as a legal parcel, 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 be constructed
to this site. Said road(s) shall be coaatrueted and approved by ACRD. See Site
Specific Condition #1.
B. Stub Streets: The Applicant is proposing 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
line 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. Staff 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. S0435449700 & S0435449905), as proposed. See Site Specific Condition #2.
C. Piping of Ditches: Meridian City Code 12-4-13.A 1 requires all imgation 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 equivalem 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 Cresson Lateral west of the subject
site, is currently tiled. Both laterals are currerrtiy open adjacem to the subject site.
The Appfic~nt has requested a waiver of the requiremeirt to the 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 Applicant also states that that property directly south of the Cresson Lateral will be a

future ACHD 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 requiremem 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.pm~yslirectly to the south of the
D. Encroachment Aereemern: There are several proposed buildable lots that encroach into
the existing Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District (PVMID) easements for the Cresson
and Coleman Laterals. The Applicant has indicated that they expect NMID to approve an
encroachment irno the Cresson Lateral and Coleman Lateral easements. If NMI does
not allow encroachemerns into the entire easemern area as proposed, the Applicant shall
create a common lot for the non-encroachment areas. All buildable lots within the
subdivision shall mairnain 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. Fre~,rg Irrigation Due to unresolved agreemerns with adjacent subdivision(s), the
Applicant is mSt sure who will own and maintain the pressurized irrigation system within
this developmem. If the pressurized irrigation system within this developmern is to
remain a private homeowners' association system, complete plans and specifications
should be reviewed by the Public Works Departmern as part of the development plan
review process. A draft copy of the pressurized irrigation system O&M manual must be
submitted prior to plan approval.
The City of Meridian requires that pressurized irrigation systems be supplied by a year-
round source of water. 't'he 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 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 paymern of assessmems
for the common areas prior to signature on the final plat by the Meridian City Engineer.
See Site Specific Condition #3.
G. Common. Drives/Frontase; Meridian City Code 11-9-1 requires 65 feet of frontage 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 15 feet (each)
from the standard requiremern (MCC 11-9-1). The Applicant is proposing to utilize
common driveways for Lots 2 and 3, Block 1, and for Lota 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

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 none 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 fromage. 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 adjacem 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 unnecessary pavemem and serve no purpose except to meet the
frontage requirement. In this case, staff is interpreting the reduced street fromages
allowed on cul-de-sacs and far 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
she. Said road(s) shall be constructed and approved by ACRD.
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 & SO435449905.
3. Tn accordance with Meridian City Code 12-4-13.A1, the Applicant shall be required to
file or cover tFte Coleman Lateral. The Applicant shall not be required to the 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 developmem plan approval, a copy of a signed agreemem for the proposed
buildable lots that encroach irrto the existing Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District
(N11~} easemems shall be submitted to the Public Works Departmem. If Nampa 8c
Meridian Irrigation District does not approve the encroachmerns 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.

5. Underground year-round pressurized irrigation must be provided to all lots within this
development. The City of Meridian requires that pressurized imgation systems be
supplied by a year-round source of water. Tf the pressurised 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 Applicarn shall be required
to utilize any existing surface or well water for the primary source. if a surface or well
source is not available, asingle-point connection to the culinary water system shall be
required. If a single-poim connection is utilized, the developer shall be responsible for the
payment of assessmerns for the common areas prior to signature on the final plat by the
City Engineer.
6. Lois 2 and 3, Block 1, and Lots 23 and 24, Block I shall utilize common driveways, as
proposed. Fro~age for Lots 2, 3, 23 and 24 may be reduced to 15 feet (minimum). Said
common driveways shall be consducted a minimum of lCrfeet 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. Ail
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 mains 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 Departmem.
9: Please submit final groundwater/soils monitoring data as prepared by a soils scientist
with the final plat. Any drainage areas (detention/retention basins) must be designed to
ensure that water will percolate or discharge within a period of time not to exceed 24
hours £or all stomps 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 attemion to
