Preliminary Plat (PP) Approval of 18 Multi -Family Lots and 3 Common/other Lots on 5.7 Acres in the L -O Zone, by Rennison Engineering (File No. PP -03-045). Conditional Use Permit (CUP) Approval for 72 Multi -Family Units, Including Reduced Setbacks, and Reduced Lot Frontage in the L -O Zone, by Rennison Engineering, Inc. (File No. CUP -03-069). We have reviewed the aforementioned applications and now offer the following comments, as conditions of approval. These conditions shall be considered in full, unless expressly modifed or deleted by motion of the Meridian City Council. APPLICATIONS SUMMARY The Applicant, Rennison Engineering, has requested Preliminary Plat (PP) and Conditional Use Permit (CUP) approval for a Planned Development (PD) on 5.7 acres of land located on the south side of Pine Avenue, approximately 1,000 feet east of Linder Road. The project site is commonly known as Lot 2, Block 1, Tramore Subdivision, and is currently vacant. The subject site is designated "High Density Residential' on the 2002 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map and currently zoned L -O. The submitted Preliminary Plat (PP -03-045) proposes to subdivide the existing 5.7 -acre lot into 18 multi -family residential lots, and 3 other/common lots. The submitted Conditional Use Permit/Planned Development (CUP -03-069) proposes 18 multi -family buildings, each containing one four - structure, for a total of 72 -units. The CUP/PD includes a request for reduced siAlex de and rear setbacks for the buildings, and reduced lot frontage in the L -O zone. (See chart below for a comparison and summary of proposed exceptions). Street Frontage in L -O Zone- City Minimum ReauiMpM Pr000sed Minimum 50 feet 0 PP -03-045 & CUP -03-069 Roundtree. PP.

The subject site was recorded as Lot 2, Block 1, Tramore Subdivision. Processed concurrently with Tramore Subdivision was a CUP application for a Tramore senior apartment complex (CUP -01-036) on Lot 1, Block 1. As part of the Tramore Development, a 50 -foot wide cross access easement was approved to intersect Pine Avenue near the west property line. This 50 -foot wide easement is the frontage/flag of the subject lot. An access driveway has been constructed to a width of 25 -feet, with curb, gutter a sidewalk on the east side, from Pine Avenue to the southern boundary of Lot 1. As amenities for the subject PD, the Applicant is proposing to construct a picnic area complete with a BBQ pit, benches, and tables on Lot 20, Block I. On Lot 10, Block 1, the Applicant is proposing to construct a sand volleyball court. In addition to the amenities on Lot 10 and 20, 1.19 acres (21 %) of the site (exclusive of the Ninemile Drain) will be preserved in open space. See Special Considerations under Conditional Use Permit Analysis below for detailed analysis of the proposed amenities and open space requirements. The subject applications (PP and CUP) were submitted concurrently to the Planning & Zoning Department for review. Staff has provided a detailed analysis and recommended approval conditions of for the requested preliminary plat and conditional use permit applications below. We are recommending approval of the applications, with the conditions outlined in this report. CURRENT OWNERS OF RECORD Walden Hughes is the current property owner and has submitted notarized consent for Rennison Engineering to submit the subject applications. LOCATION The subject property is located on the south side of Pine Avenue, approximately 1,000 feet east of Linder Road, within Section 12, Township 3 North, Range 1 West. SURROUNDING PROPERTIES North: Tramore Senior Apartments, zoned L-O/Single-family homes, zoned R-4 (across Pine Avenue) South: Union Pacific Railroad/Vacant, zoned RUT (Ada County) East: 7.5 acre vacant parcel, zoned L -O (proposed Rock Creek development) West: Sunbridge Living Center, zoned L -O PP -03-045 & CUP -03-069 R0—dtree.PP.CUP.dm Mayor, Council, and P&Z Commission Hearing Date: February 5, 2004 Page 3 PRELIMINARY PLAT ANALYSIS Sections 12-3-3.J.2 and 12-3-5.1) of Meridian City Code 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; This site is currently designated as "High Density Residential" on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map and zoned L -O. The Applicant has requested modifications to the standard setbacks and frontage requirements of the L -O zone. Staff finds that if the Commission and Council grant the Applicant the requested modifications with the CUP/PD, and the Applicant complies with the conditions included in this report, the lot configuration and overall design of the subdivision would be in general conformance with the City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan. Please see Conditional Use Permit Analysis below for further assessment of the proposed development and associated deviations from development standards. B. The availability of public services to accommodate the proposed development; If approved, the developer will be financing the extension of sewer, water, utilities and irrigation services needed to serve the project. The primary public costs to serve the future residents will be fire and police services. On January 9, 2004, a joint agency/department comments meeting was held with representatives of key service providers to this property. See detailed conditions from these agencies at the end of this report. Staff finds that public services can be made available to accommodate the proposed development. The Commission and Council should reference any written and/or verbal testimony submitted by the Meridian Police and Fire Departments regarding their ability to adequately service this project. C. The continuity of the proposed development with the capital improvement program; Because the developer is installing sewer, water, utilities and irrigation, for the development at their cost, staff finds that the subdivision will not conflict with the capital improvement program. D. The public fmancial capability of supporting services for the proposed development; Staff 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 reference any written and/or verbal testimony submitted by the Meridian Police and Fire Departments with regard to their capability to serve the proposed development. PP -03-045 & CUP -03-069 RoundtrM.PP.CUP.doc Mayor, Council, and P&Z Commission Hearing Date: February 5, 2004 Page 4 E. The other health, safety or environmental problems that may be brought to the Commission's attention. The Applicant is proposing to leave the Ninemile Drain open abutting the site. The City has previously allowed this section of the Ninemile Drain to remain open. Staff finds that the Ninemile Drain is a significant natural feature that should be protected through standard stormwater and run-off management practices. The Applicant has indicated that the property is outside of the flood zone of Ninemile Creek, with the exception of Zone "A" which is contained in the creek channel. Staff is not aware of any other health, safety or environmental problems associated with this subdivision that should be brought to the Council or Commission's attention. Staff has not identified any environmental problems that may be associated with the development of this site. ACHD considers road safety issues in their analysis, and ACHD staff has recommended, with conditions, approval of the subject subdivision. Staff recommends that the Commission and Council reference any public testimony that may be presented to determine whether or not the proposed subdivision may cause health, safety or environmental problems of which staff is unaware. SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS PRELIMINARY PLAT A. Building Setbacks: The required front setback in an L -O zone is 20 -feet along local streets. The required side setback is 5 feet per story. The required rear setback is 20 -feet (MCC 11-9- 1). The Applicant has requested that the side setback be reduced to 5 -feet, and the rear to 10 - feet. Staff is supportive of allowing the proposed building setbacks because the Applicant has requested this as part of the Planned Development and because this modification will allow for the higher densities as envisioned with the Comprehensive Plan for this area. See Site Specific Condition #2 and Conditional Use Special Consideration "A" below. B. Access: The Applicant is proposing to utilize one access point onto Pine Avenue to serve the development. This driveway is located near the west property line, on the flag portion of the subject site. ACHD staff has reviewed the access point for compliance with policy. With the Platting of Tramore Subdivision, a cross access easement was provided to Lot 1 to use the shared driveway across Lot 2, for access to the public street system. This shared driveway has been constructed by the developer of the senior apartments with curb, gutter and sidewalk on the east side of the 25 -foot wide driveway and landscaping on the west side. Because of the lots within the subdivision to utilize the e th proposed buildable lots do not have public street frontage, the Applicant should be required to provide a separate cross -access easement for all drive aisles for access to the public street system. See Site Specific Condition #3 below. C. Ninemile The shared access driveway is currently constructed to the Ninemile Drain, but does not cross the lateral. As a condition of the platting of Tramore Subdivision, Lot 2 is required to construct the crossing of the Ninemile Drain. Therefore, prior to issuance of any building permits on the subject site, a vehicular crossing of the Ninemile Drain must be constructed by the Applicant. See Site Specific Condition #4 below. PP -03-045 & CUP -03-069 RoundtmePp,CUp.doc Mayor, Council, and P&Z Commission Hearing Date: February 5, 2004 Page 5 D. Emer enc Access: As stated above, there is only one access point provided to this site. Section D106.1 of the IFC requires two separate approved fire accesses for developments with over 100 multi -family units. With the 72 units on Lot 1 (Tramore Senior Apartments), and the proposed 72 units on Lot 2, the Fire Department is requiring a second access point to this site prior to issuance of the construction of the 8t' four plex. See Fire Department Comments and Site Specific Condition # 5 below. E. Interconnect_ ivity Idaho Avenue and Broadway Avenue, approximately 600 feet east of the subject site, were constructed as stub streets to the west property line of Tremont Subdivision. Due to the potential extension of Idaho Avenue and Broadway Avenue, a finding was made in the staff report for Tramore Subdivision (PFP-01-006), that interconnectivity between the subject Lot 2, and the undeveloped L -O zoned parcel to the east was necessary for emergency access. An access easement at the east property line of Lot 2 was not provided with the platting of Tramore Subdivision. Staff continues to recommend that internal access between the subject Lot 2 and the vacant 7 -acre parcel to the east be provided because vehicular and pedestrian east -west interconnectivity and emergency accessibility is important. Consistent with the approval of Tramore Subdivision, staff recommends that the northern -most, east -west drive aisle be extended to the east property line. The pavement for the drive aisle shall be a minimum of 25 -feet wide, and include curb, gutter and sidewalk. See Site Specific Condition #5 below. NOTE: The Planning & Zoning Department has recently taken in a development application for the 7 -acre parcel to the east. The development, named Rock Creek, includes 100 multi- family units and commercial uses near Pine Avenue. The Rock Creek plat proposes a drive aisle that aligns with the northern drive aisle of the subject site. Staff intends to require Rock Creek to construct a vehicular access to the subject site to provide the interconnectivity mentioned above. E. Landscaping- The Landscape Plan submitted with the preliminary plat application prepared by Rennison Engineering, labeled Sheet L1.0, and dated 12/10/03, is approved with the following modifications: i. Several trees are proposed within an irrigation easement for the Rutledge Lateral. Any proposed trees in irrigation easements require a license agreement. If a license agreement for the proposed landscaping can not be obtained for the proposed landscaping on Lot 10, trees shall be planted within the buildable lots on the south boundary of the development. ii. The proposed types of trees indicated in the legend are acceptable. With the submittal of the final plat, each tree proposed should be specifically identified in the proposed planting location and cross-referenced in the legend. In accordance with MCC 12-13-7-4, a minimum of 4 species of trees shall be planted on site. F. Fencing: No fencing is proposed as part of the preliminary plat application. If the Applicant intends to install any permanent fencing within the subdivision, 10 copies of fencing details must be submitted at least 10 days prior to the City Council hearing, A detailed fencing plan shall be submitted upon application of the final plat (MCC taring. dee If f permanent PP -03-045 & CUP -03-069 Roundtree.PP.CUP.doc Mayor, Council, and P&Z Commission Hearing Date: February 5, 2004 Page 6 fencing is provided, temporary construction fencing to contain debris must be installed around the perimeter prior to issuance of a building permit. All fencing shall be installed in accordance with MCC 12-4-10. See Site Specific Condition #7 below. G. Pinine� of Ditches: 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, to be covered and enclosed with tiling or other covering equivalent in ability to detour access to said ditch, lateral or canal. The Applicant is proposing to tile the Rutlege Lateral abutting the southern boundary. The Applicant is proposing to leave the Ninemile Drain, a natural waterway, open. Staff recommends that the Applicant not be required to cover/tile the Ninemile Drain because it is a natural waterway that should be protected. This recommendation is consistent with previous Council action. In accordance with Meridian City Code, the Applicant should be required to tile or cover any other irrigation ditches, laterals or canals that cross, intersect or lie adjacent to the subject site. See Site Specific Condition #8 below. H. Pressure Irrigation: The Applicant has indicated that the pressurized irrigation system within this development is to be owned and operated by the Home Owners Association. Underground year-round pressurized irrigation must be provided to all lots within this development (MCC 12-5-2.N). The City of Meridian requires that pressurized irrigation systems be supplied by a year-round source of water (MCC 12-13-8.3). The Applicant shall be required to utilize any existing surface or well water for the primary source. If a surface required. If a single -point connection is utilized, the developer shall be responsible for or well source is not available, a single -point connection to the culinary water system shall be the payment of assessments for the common areas prior to signature on the final plat by the City Engineer. A draft copy of the pressurized irrigation system O&M manual must be submitted prior to plan approval. See Site Specific Condition #9 below. SITE SPECIFIC CONDITIONS IZELI _1N, PLAT I • All conditions of the previously approved development agreement, Tramore Subdivision (PFP- 01-006), and the current Conditional Use Permit (CUP -03-069) application shall also be considered conditions of the Preliminary Plat (PP -03-045). 2. The modified development standards, including reduced side and rear setbacks, and reduced frontage requirements, are approved as requested.

Staff's failure to cite specific ordinance provisions or terms of the approved annexation/conditional use does not relieve the Applicant of responsibility for compliance. 12. Preliminary plat approval shall be subject to the expiration provisions set forth in MCC 12-2-4. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT ANALYSIS The Commission and Council shall review the particular facts and circumstances of each proposed conditional use in terms of the following and may approve a conditional use permit if they find evidence presented at the hearing(s) is adequate to establish (11-17-3): A. That the site is large enough to accommodate the proposed use and all yards, open spaces, parking, landscaping and other features as may be required by this ordinance; On the submitted site plan, the Applicant has shown enough parking to accommodate the proposed uses. Although the site is large enough to accommodate all of the features required by ordinance, the Applicant has asked, through the Planned Development, to modify specific development standards. Relief from the frontage and setback standards were specifically requested in the conditional use permit (PD) application. Further, none of the proposed buildable lots meet the frontage requirement of the L -O zone. The Applicant is proposing shared drive aisles, rather than public streets, for lot access. Staff is supportive of the requested deviations because all of the proposed buildable lots within the subdivision have access to the shared drive aisle and the proposed lots can accommodate the proposed building envelopes with a modification to the standard setbacks. See Special Consideration "A" below for detailed analysis of the allowable setbacks for this development. Staff finds that the site is large enough to accommodate the proposed uses and all yards, open spaces, parking, landscaping and other features required by ordinance and/or by modifying the requirements through the planned development process. B. That the proposed use and development plan will be harmonious with the Meridian PP -03-045 & CUP -03-069 RoundtrmPP.CUP.doc Mayor, Council, and P&Z Commission Hearing Date: February 5, 2004 Page 10 Comprehensive Plan and in accordance with the requirements of this Ordinance; The subject site is designated "High Density Residential" on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map. Chapter 7 of the Comprehensive Plan defines High Density Residential as areas allowing for the development of multi -family homes in areas where urban services are provided. Staff finds that the proposed development is harmonious with and in accordance with the adopted Comprehensive Plan and in general conformance with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and that the development plan is consistent with the recorded development agreement approved by the City for this site, provided the Commission and Council grant the requested planned development. C. That the design, construction, operation, and maintenance will be compatible with other uses in the general neighborhood and with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and that such use will not adversely change the essential character of the same area; Staff finds that the general design, construction, operation, and maintenance should be compatible with other uses in the general neighborhood and with the existing or intended character of the area. D. That the proposed use, if it complies with all conditions of the approval imposed, will not adversely affect other property in the vicinity; Staff does not anticipate that the proposed development will have an adverse impact on the surrounding property. However, staff recommends that the Commission and Council rely upon public testimony, staff s analysis, and other agency comments when determining if the proposed uses will adversely affect the other properties in the vicinity. E. That the proposed use will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services such as highways, street, police, and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water, sewer or that the person responsible for the establishment of proposed conditional use shall be able to provide adequately any such services; Sanitary sewer and water service is proposed via extension to the site from the existing main lines in the common drive serving the Tramore development. On January 9, 2004, a joint agency/department comments meeting was held with representatives of key service providers to this property. See detailed conditions from these agencies at the end of this report. ACHD staff has approved this application, with site-specific conditions as well as their standard requirements. The Commission and Council should reference any written or verbal testimony submitted by the Meridian Police and Fire Departments regarding their ability to adequately service this project. F. That the proposed use will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for PP -03-045 & CUP -03-069 Roundit e.PRCUP.doc Mayor, Council, and P&Z Commission Hearing Date: February 5, 2004 Page 11 public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community; If approved, the developer will be required to finance the extension of sewer, water, utilities and pressurized irrigation to serve the project. The primary public costs to serve the site will be fire and police services. Staff finds there will not be excessive additional requirements at public cost and that the proposed use will not be detrimental to the community's economic welfare. G. That the proposed use will not involve activities or processes, materials, equipment, and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property, or general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors; As this site builds out, it will produce additional traffic on nearby arterial roadways. According to ACHD traffic counts on Pine Avenue, east of Linder Road, there were 5,482 vehicle trips per day on 12-10-02. Pine Avenue is currently improved with 2 -traffic lanes, 2 - bike lanes with curb, gutter and sidewalk on both sides of the roadway. This segment of Pine Avenue is not included in the District's Five Year Work Program or Capital improvements Plan. Staff recognizes the fact that traffic and noise will increase with the development of this site. However, staff does not anticipate that the development of this site will create excessive traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare, or odors. H. That the proposed use will have vehicular approaches to the property which shall be so designed as not to create an interference with traffic on surrounding public streets; ACHD staff has reviewed and approved one vehicular approach to the site from Pine Avenue. Please review the ACHD report for this project for additional information regarding this finding. I. That the proposed use will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic or historic feature considered to be of major importance. The Applicant is proposing to leave the Ninemile Drain open abutting the site. Staff finds that the Ninemile Drain is a significant natural feature that should be protected through standard stormwater and run-off management practices. The applicant has indicated that the property is outside of the flood zone of Nine -Mile Creek, with the exception of Zone `A" which is contained in the creek channel. Staff is not aware of any other natural or scenic feature(s) of major importance in the area that may be affected by the proposed development. SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS tCONDTI IONAL USE/PD) A. Reduced Standards: The Applicant has requested approval of a PD to allow reduced development standards including, reduced building setbacks and frontage requirements. As noted in the Conditional Use Permit Analysis above, staff recommends approval of the requested modifications of standards because the proposed buildable lots within the subdivision have access to the common drive easement and the proposed lots can accommodate the proposed building envelopes with a modification to the standard setbacks. PP -03-045 & CUP -03-069 Romdtme.PP.CUP.doc Mayor, Council, and P&Z Commission Hearing Date: February 5, 2004 Page 12 Setbacks, The Applicant has requested that the required side setbacks for the buildings be reduced to 5 feet (minimum 5 feet between buildings or other permanent portion (stairway, etc.) to property line). The Applicant has also requested that the required rear setback for the buildings be reduced to 10 feet. Staff is supportive of allowing a minimum 10 feet (5 feet to property line) of separation between the sides of the proposed multi -family buildings, and a minimum of 10 feet from the rear of the buildings to property lines, because the Applicant has requested this as part of the Planned Development and because this modification will allow for the higher densities as envisioned with the Comprehensive Plan for this area without sacrificing the integrity of the site. NOTE 1: The submitted site plan only shows a 4 -foot setback (8 feet between buildings) for some of the units. As stated above, the minimum side setback should be 5 -feet to property lines (minimum 10 feet between buildings). See Site Specific Condition #12 below. NOTE 2: Construction materials used on the structures with modified setbacks/separation should be approved by City of Meridian Building Department and in accordance with the most recent Uniform Building Code. See Site Specific Condition #2 below. The Commission and Council should also consider if the requested modifications and staff recommendations are acceptable for the PD application. Frontaee: Essentially, the proposed drive aisles equate to a private travel network that all of the multi -family lots will share. As long as a cross -access agreement is provided for all of the lots to use the proposed 25 -foot wide drive aisles, staff believes that the proposed drive aisles meet the intent of the standard frontage requirement. Staff is supportive of the requested lot frontage deviations because all of the proposed buildable lots within the subdivision have access to the proposed drive aisle system. See Site Specific Condition #2 below. B. Amenities: As part of the PD, the Applicant is proposing to construct a picnic area complete with a BBQ pit, benches, and tables on Lot 20, Block I. On Lot 10, Block 1, the Applicant is proposing to construct a sand volleyball court. In addition to the amenities on Lot 10 and 20, approximately 1.2 acres (21 %) of the site (exclusive of the Ninemile Creek) will be preserved in open space. Staff is supportive of the proposed amenities as they appear to be appropriate to the size and uses of the proposed development. However, the Applicant has not submitted detailed plans for how the amenities will be constructed. At least 10 days prior to the City Council hearing, the Applicant should be required to submit 10 copies of a schematic showing how the common Lots 10 and 20 will be constructed. The Council should review the proposed amenities and determine if they are "appropriate to the size and uses of the proposed development." See Site Specific Condition #3 below. C. en S12ace7 Meridian City Code 12-13-16 requires all multi -family developments to provide common open space that equals or exceeds ten percent of the gross land area. Common open space means land exclusive of street rights-of-way and street buffers, except for right-of-way specifically dedicated for landscaping within a subdivision. At a minimum, common open space lots shall include one deciduous shade tree per 8,000 square feet and lawn, either seed or sod (MCC 12-13-16-5). In addition to the common open space requirement, Meridian City PP -03-045 & CUP -03-069 Roundtre TRCUP.doc Mayor, Council, and P&Z Commission Hearing Date: February 5, 2004 Page 13 Code 12-6-2.A.4 states that all residential planned developments shall provide each dwelling unit with at least 100 square feet of useable private open space, such as a patio or deck. In the Applicant's submittal letter, it is stated that each unit will be provided with approximately the 00 square feet of private open space and 21 % of the site is open space. Staff recommends that the Applicant comply with the above-mentioned ordinance requirements for open space and present, at the public hearing, calculations explaining how the required usable private open -family development. See Site Specific space requirement for each unit will be met for the multi Conditions #4 & #5 below. D. Parking/Drive Aisle Design• Meridian City Code (MCC) 11-13-5 requires 2 parking stalls per multi -family dwelling with 3 or more units. In accordance with MCC, the Applicant is Proposing 8 parking stalls (7 standard and 1 van -accessible stall) per four-plex structure. In accordance with MCC 11-13-4.F, all of the proposed parking stalls are 9 -feet wide by 19 -feet long. All parking for each four-plex structure is provided for within the individual lot. All parking and areas of circulation should be paved, striped, and meet the minimum dimensional requirements outlined above. See Site Specific Condition #6 below. E. Multi -Use Pathways• In 1996, COMPASS adopted the pathway recommendations laid out in the Ridge -to -Rivers Pathway Plan (1996). The goals of the plan include developing a bikeway and pathway system that encourages non -motorized transportation and enhances recreational opportunities. The Union Pacific Railroad cooridor abutting the south property line is shown as a proposed multi -use pathway in Figure VI -3 (Off -Street Multiple -Use Pathways) in the adopted Comprehensive Plan. There is also a multi -use pathway shown adjacent to the Ninemile Drain in the Comprehensive Plan. With the development of the Tramore Senior Apartments on Lot 1, a pathway was constructed on the north side of the Ninemile Drain. This pathway aligns with the pathway constructed in the Tremont Subdivision. When the vacant 7 -acre parcel to the east develops, it is anticipated that the City will require the developer to connect the two sections of pathway to each other. In the past, the City has not required the construction of a pathway within the Union Pacific Railroad cooridor, but has required developers that abut the future pathway to provide a minimum of 5 -feet of landscaping. Consistent with previous Council action, the Applicant should not be required to construct a multi -use pathway adjacent to the southern boundary, but should be required to provide a minimum of 5 -feet of landscaping along the south property line. The Applicant is proposing a 35 -foot wide setback along the southern boundary of the project. There is an existing 25 -foot wide irrigation easement within the rear setback. At a minimum, the Applicant should be required to plant trees in accordance with MCC (1 tree per every 35 - lineal feet). See Site Specific Condition #7 below. F. Sanitary Services- Sanitary Services Company (SSC) has indicated that the proposed dumpster locations should be modified. The Applicant should coordinate the design and location of dumpster locations with SSC. Prior to Certificate of Zoning Compliance (CZC) submital, the Applicant should submit a revised site plan, approved by SSC, for the proposed trash enclosure location and design. All dumpsters must be screened in accordance with MCC 11-12-1.C. Trash enclosures must be built in the location and to the size approved by SSC. See Site Specific Condition #8 below.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES: (from Chapter VI and VII) • "Large development proposals that are likely to generate significant traffic should be assessed for their impact on the transportation system and surrounding land uses. They should be examined for ways to encourage all forms of transportation such as transit, walking, and cycling. • New development should not rely on cul-de-sacs since they provide poor fire access, walkability, and neighborhood social life. New development and streets should be designed to encourage walking and bicycling. • Pathways that encourage use by bicyclists and pedestrians can decrease road congestion and add to the community's quality of life. The proposed off-street and multiple -use pathway systems are depicted in Figures VI -3 and VI -4. New and existing developments should ensure that the guidelines laid out in this plan are adopted. • Provide for a wide diversity of housing types (single-family, modular, mobile homes and multi- family arrangements) and choices between ownership and rental dwelling units for all income groups in a variety of location suitable for residential development. Other Agency/Department Comments & Conditions SANITARY SERVICES COMPANY (SSC) L Approaches to the trash enclosures shall allow SSC trucks to access the enclosure without a vehicle parked in front of it. 2. Design the enclosures per the standard recommendations of SSC for access, gates, floor/pad, container stops/bumpers, and dimensions. Coordinate the design with SSC. Approval of the trash enclosure design will be required prior to submittal of a Conditional Use Permit and issuance of a Certificate of Zoning Compliance.

The site is zoned L -O and is proposed to contain eighteen 4-plexes and 3 -common lots that will utilize a common driveway. The site is located on the south side of Pine Avenue just east of Linder Road. Acreage: 5.70 -acres Current Zoning: L -O Proposed Zoning: L -O Buildable Lots: 18 -lots Common Lots: 3 -lots Vicinity Map A. Findings of Fact 1. Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate 448 additional vehicle trips per day (0 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. 4. Site Information: The site is currently vacant. Description of Adjacent Surrounding Area: a. North: Navarro Place Subdivision (single-family residential subdivision) b. South: Rail Road c.

I understand Roundtree is a 18 lot 4-plex subdivision with one common lot. A total 72 apartment units may be built. By virtue of the platting process each of the lots could be individually owned. I am one of the owners of Tramore Apartments, a 72 unit senior community, immediately adjacent to the north of this proposed development. I have spoken with the development engineer, John Rennison P.E. He was quite helpful and answered many of my questions. The owners of Tramore have the following concerns: 1. The Meridian Fire Department 0 apparently requested secondary access to Roundtree. Mr. Rennison is working with the land owner to the east. We support the concept of secondary access but when the property to the east develops, we do not support that property utilizing our driveway on the west side of our property as any means of ingress and egress to their property. 2. There are several 4-plex developments around the valley with the units individually owned. Unless the 4-plexes have a common professional management company, homeowners association and detailed declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions regarding architectural style, maintenance, etc. one or more of the buildings may fall under a state of disrepair, have junk, laundry, etc. on the decks and patios and otherwise not GAOME/Word Processing/Tom COrn'HOOd-Roundtme-Conditional Use -0204 Mr. Craig Hood February 5, 2004 Page 2 a good and compatible neighbor. This has occurred at some of the other developments. We request the developerprepare Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions covering these items and submit to the City for review. 3. I have not seen the landscape plan but would encourage dense planting with a preponderance of evergreens on this development's north property line to screen it from our Tramore development. Maxine Johnson, regional supervisor at Summit Real Estate Services, our property management company will attend the hearing and be able to respond to specific questions regarding the interface of this proposed development with our Tramore Senior Housing Community. We request deferral of all items before the Commission until our issues are addressed. Sincerely, THOMAS TCM:jfb cc: John Rennision P.E.

The Roundtree Development is more particularly identified as Lot 2 of Tramore Subdivision. The Rock Creek Development is more particularly described as the approximate seven acre parcel immediately east of and contiguous with Lot 2 of Tramore Subdivision, parcel number R9322500700. Both the Roundtree Development parcel and the Rock Creek Development parcel have frontage on W. Pine Ave. Roundtree Development, combined with the existing building improvements on Lot 1 of TramoFire code requires that developments with over 100 units provide a secondary emergency access, The Subdivision, wreill exceed 100 total units. The Rock Creek Development itself will exceed 100 units. Itis understood that the Rock Creek Development will provide a secondary emergency vehicle access to W. Pine Ave. for the benefit of the Roundtree Development. Equally, the Roundtree Development will provide a secondary emergency vehicle access to W. Pine Ave. for the benefit of the Rock Creek Development. All emergency vehicle accesses shall be constructed per applicable fire code requirements. It is also understood that this same emergency vehicle access connectivity will also satisfy the interconnectivity requirement for the City of Meridian, pertaining to both development applications. Rennison Engineering as the authorized representative for the Roundtree Development and Treasure Valley Development as the authorized representative of the Rock Creek Development do hereby acknowledge this agreement by signing below.

Waterbower, Suite 202 Meridian, ID 83642 RE RoundtreeSubdivision/ConditionalUse Permit Preliminary Plat (File No. PP -03-045) Conditional Use Permit (File No. CUP -03-069) Dear Commissioners: Via Facsimile. 888-4218 Please accept the following as the applicants comment on the staff report with the transm ittal date of January 30, 2004. We concur with staff s recommendations and accept the Site Specific Conditions as listed with two minor language modification requests. The first is in regard to Preliminary Plat Site Specific Condition number five, regarding the fire department secondary access. As discussed in the Preliminary Plat Special Considerations portion of the report paragraphs D and E, a development application known as Rock Creek has been submitted to the City for the property to the east adjoining proposed Roundtree Subdivision. This Rock Creek Development application will have the same requirement for providing a secondary emergency vehicle access to a public street as we understand this development also exceeds 100 units. We have contacted Treasure Valley Development, the applicant for the Rock Creek Development, and have discussed with them a secondary emergency vehicle access. Based on our discussions with Treasure Valley Development, they are in agreement that a secondary emergency vehicle cross access agreement will be a benefit to both developments. We are continuing to work with Treasure Valley Development to solidify this agreement, and hope to provide a writben agreement by our hearing dale Since the tim ing for completion of secondary accesses is unknown at this time, we request that the Preliminary Plat Site Specific Condition number five be revised to read: "Provide a fire department approved secondary access to the site prior to application for the eighth four-plex building permit Extend the northem most drive aisle to the east property line to provide for interconnectivity and to provide another access point for emergency vehicles." 2'd LEEO-EbE-60z 2U1JaaU%2U3 L££0 £b£ a0z Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission February 4, 2004 Page 2 of 2 TT:LT 00, 00 H33 This would allow for the construction of seven four-plex buildings (or 28 units) prior to an approved secondary access, which is permitted by the fire code. The other change we are requesting is for Conditional UseSite Specific Condition number five. Each dwelling unit will be provided a minimum of 200 square feet of useable private open space. We are requesting to provide a minimum of 48 square feet of concrete patio (eight foot by six foot patio), with the balance of the private open space being lawn or perms -bark or a combination thereof See the illustration attached as Exhibit A for an example. We request Conditional Use Site Specific Condition number five be revised to read: "Provide each dwelling unit with at least one hundred square feet of useable private open space, with forty-eight square feet minimum in patio and the balance in landscaping." As an additional comment, we have already met wi th the Sanitary Services Company ( SSC) regarding the location and design of the trash dumpster areas. We are working with them to fink -e actual dumpster sizing which will affect the dumpster enclosure size and orientation to the drive aisles, however the locations as indicated on the Master Site Plan are generally acceptable to SSC. We will be in attendance at tomorrows meeting to discuss this proiect in further del -ail, if needed. Thank you for your time and consideration Please contact me with any comments or questions.
