Bill Nichol's direction to council on Tuesday night was, instead of making a motion to reconsider at that time, the council should wait until it's on a Consent Agenda. The option was also given that if any council members wanted to have it placed on the Regular Agenda, they can notify the Mayor so the reconsideration can be so noticed. Anyway, until the Redfeather applications have been formally reconsidered, I'm holding your revised plans. Assuming the council votes to approve reconsideration, Iwill forward the plans to the Clerk's Office for distribution. The revised plans will be included in packets for a public hearing date that is set after re-noticing, etc. We would also prepare a revised staff report that updates the lot count, open space, etc. Brad Hawkins-Clark 1/22/2004 EWGINEEiR11VG SOLUnTIONSu January 16, 2004 Mr. R. Keith Bird, Vice President Meridian City Council 33 East Idaho Avenue Meridian, ID 83642 Re: Redfieather Estates Subdivision No. 2 Deaz Mr. Bird: I50 East Adcens Street, Suite B EagIe,ID 8361fi Phone: (208) 938-0980 Fax: (208) 938-0941. E-mail: es-beckymQgwest.net We respectfidly request your reconsideration ofthe vote to deny the application of Redfeather Estates Subdivision No. 2 for annexation and caning, plalmed development and preliminary plat. The Council had concerns with the design of the project; however, due to the lateness of the hour, clearly identifying those problems was difficult. I was frustrated and confused with diection the Council appeared to be taking. Late in the evening, one finds it difficult to appropriately address the questions and concerns of the Council. We met with some of the neighbors after the meeting and discussed what had transpired. We both realized that some modifications could be made to the project and it was in the best interest of both parties if the Council reconsider their denial and provide an opportunity for a revised plan. The neighbors and the applicant have been through a long process to get to this point. Neither parry wants to return to squaze one. We intend to create a quality project, and we would appreciate being able to clarify our thoughts on modifications to the plan to better meet the needs of the City of Meridian and the surrounding property owners. Please call me if you have any questions or need additional information. Sincerely, Engineering Solutions, LLP Becky Mc artner 150 E.

The Perkins -Brown Subdivision Neighborhood Association testified in opposition to the proposed subdivision as presented by the applicant and agree with the Councils denial Packard LLC is going to file a request for reconsideration and requested a letter of support from us. Realizing that the land in question is going to be developed, we would support the applicant's request for reconsideration if the following conditions were met. 1. Reduce the housing density along the perimeter of the project to provide a transition from the rural existing subdivisions to the more dense smaller houses in the proposed subdivision. Limit houses to one story on the perimeter lots. Install 6 -foot vinyl fencing around Perkins -Brown Subdivision on east and south perimeter as previously agreed to by the applicant. 2. Design the revised project so that Duane Drive would not 6e used as an access road for the proposed subdivision. Delayed construction on the 20 acres south of Perkins -Brown Subdivision until access is obtained to Eagle Road would eliminate need to use Duane Drive as main access road. The ACHD decided that a swinging gate and bulb out would be installed at the Duane Drive connection to provide emergency access only. The ACHD decision needs to be followed. The Perkins -Brown Neighborhood Association is not against the development of the subject properties, and could do very little to stop development. We view the reconsideration of Red Feather Estates No. 2 as an opportunity for the applicant and us to work together in planning the proposed subdivision. Our major concern is the opening of Duane Drive to the subdivision that will put another 900 vehicle trips per day on Duane Drive, a rural lane with no shoulders, gutters or sidewalks. At risk is the safety of the children who walk to the school bus, bike and play on Duane Drive. Our quality of life and property values will be diminished by the increased traffic.
