FP-03-038 ORDER REGARDING APPLICATION TO REMOVE/ MODIFY FINAL PLAT CONDITIONS This matter coming before the City Council for Final Plat approval pursuant to Meridian City Code § ] 2-3-7 on July 8, 2003, and continued until July 22, 2003 and August 12, 2003, and the Council finding that the Administrative Review is complete from Brad Hawkins- Clark Planner III for the Planning and Zoning Department, dated June 1 Q 2003, to the Mayor and Council, and that Brad Hawkins-Clark Planner III for the Planning and Zoning Department, Stacy Wyrick, Dale Sharp, Helen Sharp, Billie Jo Primo, Dixie Lee Roberts, Vem Apeman, Audrey Bentley, Craig Groves, and Chip Gallagher, commented at the hearing, and the Council having considered the requirements of the preliminary plat the Council takes the following action: IT IS HEREBY F0 D THAT: ORDER REGARDING APPLICATION TO REMOVE/ MODIFY FINAL PLAT CONDITIONS / (FP-03-038) Page 1 of 5 1. This Final Plat Amendment application was prepared by the Planning and Zoning Department at the direction of the Mayor and City Council to propose amending certain conditions that were placed upon the developer, Packard Estates Development, LLC (File FP-00- 018), by the City of Meridian during the final plat process in January 2001. 2. That there were a number of people who appeared and testified in this matter, and those names are listed above the first pazagraph. 3. The conditions in question to the recorded Seal plat dated December 2, 2002, aze numbers 15, 20 and 22, and that possibly these particular conditions were not adequately enforced by the City. 4. That the Planning and Zonutg Department proposes to remove two of the 32 conditions originally required in this application, and the two items are numbers 20 and 22. item 20 pertains to the requirement of two gates across E. Challis Street: one on the east boundary of Wingate Lane, and one on the west houndary of Wingate Lane. The other condition pertains to number 22 which addressed any damages to Wingate Lane caused by the developer or contractors. 5. On February 27, 2002 (approximately one month after the City of Meridian approval of the final plat), the Ada County Highway District held a public meeting at which the ACHD Commission decided to reverse their decision/condition of the Oetober 18, 1995 preliminary plat for Packard Subdivision that required gates be constructed across Challis. (ACHD's staff report dated February 13, 2002 and the Commission minutes approving the removal of the gates on Challis.) ACHD's reversal resulted in the gates on E. Challis being ORDER REGARDING APPLICATION TO REMOVE/ MODIFY FINAL PLAT CONDITIONS / (FP-03-038) Page 2 of ~ removed due to being an obstruction of a pubhc street. Under Idaho Code 40-1310, highway districts have jurisdiction over all rights-of--way within highway systems. Condition number 20 of the original conditions would not be enforceable by the City of Meridian, and therefore number 20 shall be removed from the conditions and shall nullify the plat condition. 6. Pertaining to number 22 of the conditions, the City received a letter from Dale and Helen Sharp, a portion of which states that Packard Estates, LLC "has not complied with the agreed upon condition concerning the repairs to the lane." In order for this condition to be effectively enforced, the City must have clear photographs or some other visual evidence as to the condition of Wingate Lane prior to the approval of Packard Acres No. 2. The City would also need evidence that any damage to the private street was actually caused by "the developer or contractors." The Sharps did submit a series of invoices demonstrating the Wingate association has paid to maintain the lane through road mix, blading, dust control.and other measures. This condition is considered to be difficult to adequately and fairly enforce. There is no disagreement that there has been some contractor traffic and/or non-Wingate Lane resident vehicular bonstruction traffic using the lane and that has resulted from the construction and build out of Packard Acres No. 2 Subdivision. However, it is also likely that Wingate Lane has been used by other traffic completely unrelated to the developer or his contractors (e.g. delivery trunks, utility companies, residents of Packard Acres, etc.}. Condition number 22 ofthe original conditions shall remain as recorded in the Final Plat Order, but this additional language shall be added to the condition: "Due to the lack of resources sufficient to effectively enforce the prohibition against ORDER REGARDING APPLICATION TO REMOVE/ MODIFY FINAL PLAT CONDITIONS / {FP-03-438) Page 3 of 5 construction traffiq or to determine the condition of the Lane'at venous times, Plat note number 22 has been impossible for the City staffto enforce." THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT pursuant to action of the Ciry Council taken at their August 12, 2003 meeting that: Condition #20 shall be amended to include the following sentence. The Ada County Highway District made subsequent Findings at their February 27, 2002 meeting pertainutg to East Challis Street and Wingate Lane nullifying this plat condition. This does not preclude ACHD from re-visiting this issue at some point in the future. 2. Condition #22 shall remain as recorded in the Final Ptat Order. Due to the lack of resources sufficient to effectively enforce the prohibition against construction traffic, or to determine the condition of the Lane at various times, Plat note number 22 has been impossible for the City staff to enforce. However, this does not relieve the developer of the requirement to comply with the condition that no construction traffic shall be allowed to access Wingate Lane.
