Re: Redfeather Estates Subdivision No. 2 -Revised Preliminary Plat (PP-0&024)
fFormattina Note: Since this is a reconsideration of active applications (although the
applicant did pay re-noticing fees), and since the P&Z Commission is not making a
new recommendation, staff chose not to prepare a new, full staff report. We also did
not feel it was appropriate to revise the Commission's previous recommendation to
City Council since the Commission has not formally amended their previous action.
So, we are using a standard memo format to address the subject reconsideration.
The P&Z Commission Recommendations for all three applications are referenced
herein and are also attached.]
Background / Prior Actions
On January 27, 2004, the City Council agreed to reconsider the denial of the
annexation and zoning (AZ-03-021), preliminary plat (PP-03-024) and conditional
use (CUP-03-041) for Redfeather Estates Subdivision No. 2. This action was taken
in response to a January 16, 2004 letter from Becky Mcltay, Engineering Solutions,
requesting the reconsideration of all three (3) applications. A letter agreeing with the
reconsideration was also submitted by Mr. F.A. Belcher, President of the Perkins-
Brown Neighborhood Association. The applications were denied at the January 13,
2004 meeting and the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and Decision and
Order were placed on the January 27, 2004 consent agenda for adoption. The City
Counal chose not to remand the applications back to the P&Z Commission. The
applications were re-noticed by the City Clerk for a new public hearing before the
City Council for March 2, 2004.
New Information Received into the Public Record
Pursuant to these actions, on February 4 and 17, 2004, the applicant respectively
submitted a revised preliminary plat, planned development plan, and landscape
plan. A new ACRD staff memo, by Christy Richardson, was also submitted to the
City, clarifying the gate at the south end of Duane Drive. No changes were made to
the annexation legal description. However, the applicant is proposing an Rte} zone
for the residential portion of the annexation instead of an R-8 zone. The commercial
zone (GG) and acreage remains unchanged from the original application.
Reasons for Denial
Based on the City Council motion, the following reasons for denial were listed in the
Findings of Fact for AZ-03-021:
a. The proposed development lacks density transition from the neighboring rural
residential into the medium residential, (buffering with the existing residential
homes along the boundary of the properly needs to be lower density).
b. The proposed development lacks amenities in the useable open space.
c. The proposed development lacks a development plan for the western most portion
of the property that abuts Eagle Road.
d. The proposed development lacks a resolution to the gate issue on Duane Drive,
and the applicant should work with ACHD and the adjacent residents to come up
with some clear wording pertaining to when the removal of the emergency access
gate at Duane Drive can be requested.
e. The proposed development lacks connection on the southern portion of the
property between The Clover Meadows Subdivision and the proposed subdivision,
a pedestrian access through this site needs to be worked out.
f. The proposed development needs to clar'rfy the Ustick Road right-of-way and street
buffers along Ustick Road of 25 feet, street offsets, and stub streets.
g. It is not in the best interests of the City of Meridian to annex this property.
'Preliminary Plat Revisions Corresoondina to Reasons for Denial
The revised preliminary plat, dated 1/20/04, incorporated the following modifications to
address the findings listed above:
a. Density Transition: Lot sizes adjacent to Perkins-Brown Subdivision were increased. The
11/18/03 plat proposed 22 buildable lots on this west boundary whereas the 1/20/04 plat
proposes 17 buildable lots (a decrease of five lots).
b. Open Space/Amenities: The total amount of eligible/useable open space within the
subdivision was increased from 8.171 acres (9.0%) to 9.49 acn:s (10.46%). The majority
of the open space was added along N. Grenadier Way, south of the Gubhouse. Since the
original submittal, a basketball court was added to the large common lot at the south end
of the project (Lot 3, Block 24).
c. Bryson Parcel: The applignt is still not proposing any development or conceptual plan for
the westernmost portion of the annexation (approx. 25 acres).
d. Duane Drive: The revised ACHD staff memo clarifies that a public hearing at ACHD
would be required prior to the removal of the gate on Duane Drive.
e. Clover Meadows Connection: An e-mail from Mike Tyvand of the Clover Meadows
Subdivision was submitted which states that this subdivision was unable to find a
properly owner that would provide a pedestrian pathway on their land to connect with
Redfeather Estates No. 2. The applicant is not showing a new connection to the south.
f. Ustick Road Buffer Width: While the 1/20/04 revised plat does not reflect it, Bedcy McKay
verbally agreed to increase the Ustick Road landscape buffer to 35 feet to meet the
• Page 2
entryway corridor policy of the City. This increase of 25 feet will not result in the
elimination of any buildable lots but will reduce the size of the lots backing-up to Ustick.
g. No additional information was provided by the applicant to address why annexation is in
the best interest of the City of Meridian, other than increased open space and better traffic
circulation.
Other Preliminary Plat Revisions
In addition to the above changes, the new preliminary plat, dated 1/20/04, incorporated the
following modfications
a. E. Arch Street in the northeast corner of the plat was extended as a through street to N.
Sharon Ave. (cul-de-sac was eliminated). This provides better foot access to the Ustick
Elementary pedestrian pathway on the east boundary (Lot 20, Block 7).
b. Three (3) buildable lots were added to Block 12 (south of the 1-acre outparcel on Ustick)
and one (1) buildable lot was added to Block 5 (east of the 5-acre outparcel in Georgians
Milks).
c. The lot pattern north and east of the clubhouse/pool area (Lot 1, Blocc 9) was changed
and one (1) lot was added (on the north side). A pedestrian connection to E. Race Dr.
' was eliminated.
d. The alignment of E. Granger Drive was straightened and an intersection was removed.
e. Several buildable lots were added to the portion of the subdivision south of Duane Drive.
In summary, the total number of buildable lots (302), the density (3.33 dulac), the minimum
lot size (5,250 s.f.) and minimum house size (1,200 s.f.) all remain unchanged.

D. Adopt the Meridian Fire Department Recommendations asfollows:
The following will be the requirements and/or concerns to provide minimum levels of fire
protection for the proposed project:
1. One and two family dwellings will require afire-flow of 1,000 gallons per minute
available for duration of 2 hours to service the entire project. Fire hydrants shall be
placed an average of 400' apart.
2. Acceptance of the water supply for fire protection will be by the Meridian
Water Department.
Final Approval of the fire hydrant locations shall be by the Meridian Fire
Departrnent which will be subnutted to the Public Works Department. All curbing
in front of fire hydrants shall be painted red for 10' on each side of the installation.
4. All roads shall have a fuming radius of 28' inside and 48' outside.
5. Operational fire hydrants and temporary or permanent street signs aze required before

6. The phasing plan may require that any roadway greater than'150' in length that is not
provided with an outlet shall be required to have a taro around.
The proposed 302-lot subdivision with an estimated 2.9 residents per household would
have a total estimated p opulation of 875 residents at build out. The M eridian Fire
Department has experienced 2069 responses in the year 2000 and 2251 calls for service
in 2001. According to a report completed by Fire & Emergency Services Consulting
Group in February of 2000 our requests for service aze projected to reach 2800 in the
yeaz 2005 and 3800 by the year 2010.
