ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS paii< Drainage Areas: The four proposed open space areas all feature drainage areas. h1 order for these open space areas to be counted towards the 10% open space requirement for the subdivision drainage ponds in these areas must be dry ponds. Reduced Lot and Setback Reauirements• The reduced lot dimensions of 5,000 square feet and the proposed reduced front yard and side yard setbacks within the proposed subdivision are less than those required by the current Zoning Ordinance and would not be permitted without the applicant's request for a Planned Development. Staff supports the requested reduced setbacks and lot d imerisions; t he r esulting s mailer 1 of s izes a nd p roposed p atio h ones w ith s hared c ommon drives will help to increase the diversity ofMeridian's housing choices. Shared Common Drives: The smaller patio home lots located in the southern portion of die subdivision share common driveways. The proposed configuration features a series of four patio home lots (5,000 square foot lots) which are accessed by a shared common drive.

APPLICABLE 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 encouirage 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 reside~rtial development.

These 46.40 acres are surrounded by people with 5 + acres. We have all been here a long time and value our quality of life. Therefore, we feel that going from RUT to R-8 is unreasonable. We feel that the maximum size lots of 80 feet instead of 50 feet would be the best choice. It would be a much nicer looking neighborhood and less congested. The proposed 213 lots would bring a minimum of 426 cars onto Blackcat, a two lane road in bad repair. Add that to the two other subdivisions going in below this one and we'll have way too much traffic. We need turn lanes going into these subdivisions so traffic won't back up more than necessary. Our property is on the railroad tracks bordering a triangle of land that they want to put 8 houses on. I would like to see a berm with a 6 foot fence on top so people won't be staring in our back yard. Also to keep people from trespassing on private property. We also need to have access to the irrigation ditch so we will need 2 gates that we can lock. We need one at the irrigation ditch and one going from our property to get to the irrigation ditch. There is some bare ground up by the irrigation ditch and we are concerned that the people will park their boats, motor homes, trailers, ect. up there. Could we keep that landscaped so that wouldn't happen? I think these are reasonable requests and hope you will consider them carefully.

El Gato Lane Meridian, Idaho 83642 ]lsarg~homeinternet net Please consider the 30-year old EI Gato Lane neighborhood that will be significantly affected by the proposed eventual extension of Pine Avenue west from 10 Mile Road to ,Black Cat Road and directly through to EI Gato Lane. Urban development may be inevitable however, please recognize the quality of the existence of the rural EI Gato Lane neighborhood. If the proposed Chesterfield subdivision must be built, please off-set this subdivision road outlet onto Black Cat so that the outlet does not feed directly into El Gato Lane. The off- set will not affect the sale of houses in the proposed subdivision but it will reduce the number of cars that drive down El Gato Lane. Families who buy homes in the proposed subdivision will also benefit considerably from reduced traffic. Ideally, the Chesterfield subdivision outlet onto Black Cat is best placed along the Kennedy Lateral Irrigation Ditch for 2 reasons: 1. It provides the off-set away from El Gato Lane and, 2. The visibility of oncoming Black Cat traffic is much improved and therefore safer as an outlet from the Chesterfield subdivision. Traffic visibility from El Gato Lane is limited due to a gentle rise in the lapdscape, which peaks to the north near the Kennedy Lateral Irrigation Ditch on Black Cat. We can all benefit from significant safety measures and appropriate traffic planning that allow the family-oriented quality of life that we all ultimately seek. This El Gato neighborhood is a very quiet, mile-long road of 5-acre subdivisions having neighborhood children and adults riding their bicycles, walking their dogs and riding their horses -even after dark. During the Holidays, neighbors drive their horse-drawn carriage down the road with sleighbells. My husband, delivered candy canes on Christmas Eve to the kids in the neighborhood by horseback with sleighbells. We do not want to lose this valuable part of our family-oriented El Gato Community. I might add that, the newly-established St. James subdivision at the west end of El Gato Lane, at the county line (McDermott), is also 5-acre parcels. Additional traffic would significantly impact the ability of the El Gato neighborhood to enjoy our quality of life -which we should also be able and entitled to enjoy. Pine Avenue cannot be extended much further west anyway so why not let Pine Avenue stop at Black Cat, off-set from El Gato Lane, so that that Meridian's quality of life can be shazed by all of us. I ask that the developers of the proposed Chesterfield subdivision form a road outlet onto Black Cat Road that does not flow directly onto El Gato Lane.

Was that analysis not done or was it completed and not included in the report? What will be the traffic impact on EI 6oto Lane? I've talked with nearly all of the EI 6nto Lane residents and we ore all very concerned about this proposed subdivision increasing traffic on EI Gato Lane. As presently constructed, EI 6oto Lane foils to meet the design requirements of a residential collector, and probably cannot be redesigned to meet the residential collector design specifications.

Thank you, Tom Noll 5947 EI 6ato Lane Meridian, Idaho 83642 208-388-2623 ~ss 1r ,.-~.~ ~~ 4~ 1 ~ 7GC4 T CITY 02-19-04 To Whom It May Concern: We, Gary & Judy Schweiger, own the properties just East of the proposed development. Our properties aze addressed 3515 &_3715 W. Pine Ave. We have some serious concerns regarding what was presented at the neighborhood meeting at the Meridian Library on February 5, by Centennial LLC. We aze concerned about a development of this size and proposed density coming in direct contact with our long established neighborhood on our private road, W. Pine. Everyone on our street is in agriculture. We have sheep, cattle, hogs ,chickens and hay all being raised on this private lane. Traditionally, when subdivisions come in contact with agriculture, problems abound. IDAHO IS A RIGHT TO FARM STATE. People who are not in agriculture do not realize the implications of this. We all spread manure on our pastures. This results in smells and flies that people complain about. We burn ditches. We shoot varmints, which we have the right to do since we live in the county. Suddenly, the farmer, is subjected to all kinds of complaints and visits from the sheriff, DEQ, animal control etc. We, also, all have middle to upper class homes. The proposal is for 8 homes to an acre on 45' wide lots, with 2 story homes. This developer primarily developes for Cory Barton Homes. This will do nothing but diminish the value of each of our homes. We have, great concern that the next step will be to condemn our private lane, force us to have the sewer come down our properties and be annexed into the city. None of this is wanted on our part . I f this project is approved, we would like to see adjustments in what they have asked for. We would like 80' wide lots. We would like the E end ofthe property along 10 mile creek to be all one story structures. We would like a 6' high grassed berm, with a 6' brown vinyl fence on top on the E. & N. side of the property with attractive trees and shrubbery . We would also like several things to be done to insure our privacy on W. Pine Ave. The fence needs to be on the E. side of the proposed walking path, so that pedestrians do not have the ability to cross the bridge, and come down our lane. We do not want children taking shortcuts down our road to get to the school.; nor do we want people and their dogs walking down our lane and disturbing our livestock.. We want prominent signage stating the this is a private lane.

Subdivision, (the property currently owned by Dr. Lee) Rick and Faith Jensen, husband and wife, owners of the residence and property at 3720 West Pine Avenue, Meridian, Idaho, a home less than 300 feet from the proposed Centennial LLC. Subdivision, provide the following to be submitted at the meeting to be held Thursday, February 19, 2004. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7 We are opposed the proposed housing density and ask that a minimum of an 80 foot lot size replace the proposed lot size. We oppose this because we believe the proposed housing density will have an adverse affect on our property value. The majority of homes east of the proposed subdivision are mid- to upper level priced homes. Keeping our property value high is of utmost importance to us. We believe the proposed housing density and price structure will attract low- income homeowners. There are examples, in adjacent counties, wire housing projects similar to this proposed project have lead to community problems that have affected adjoining property values, general local economy, and neighborhood security. We ask that the proposed subdivision, if approved, have a grassed six-foot high earth burin, landscaped with low, medium, and tall growing shrubs and trees, topped with asix-foot tall vinyl fence on the eastern and northern properly boundary to prevent residence of the proposed subdivision from trespassing on the private lane and property that is West Pine Avenue extending from Ten Mile Road, west to the proposed subdivision boundary. We ask that the east and northern boundary be signed with "No Trespassing" every sixty feet to keep subdivision residence off private property and off the private lane that is West Pine Avenue extending from Ten Mile Road, west to the proposed subdivision boundary. We ask that the homes on the eastern and northern boundary of the proposed subdivision, if approved, be single story structures #o' protect the privacy of the property owners east of the subdivision. We ask that residen'~e of the proposed subdivision; i€approved, sign a covenant contract acknowledging and accepting that periodic ditch and slash burning will take place on the properties east to the subdivision. We ask that residence of the proposed subdivision, if approved, sign a covenant contract acknowledging and accepting that livestock will be raised on the private properties to the east of the proposed subdivision and that there will be no harassment of these livestock. Livestock raised is, but not limited to: horses, cows, sheep, and pigs. Signed: Rick Jensen Faith Jensen REc~r~D FE B 1 ° 2004 Chesterfield and Castlebrook Subdivisions c~`1'~F1~~~1LI~gj\r Public Hearing -February 19, 2004 Working with other EI Gato neighbors (including Jon Anson, Gloria Beattie, Gene Bray, Kathy Ferrera, Chuck Sundby), we have identified some key points regarding the proposed Castlebrook and Chesterfield subdivisions: - The present subdivision plans do not include a residential collector connection to Ten Mile Road, Cherry Lane, or Franklin Road, so all subdivision traffic from over 400 residences will enter and exit at Black Cat Road. - Not one of the three proposed subdivisions has completed the final platting and design process so design and layout changes are possible at this time." - It appears that ACRD and Meridian Planning and Zoning assume that there will be no traffic impact to the existing El Gato neighborhood from the proposed subdivisions. - Under the proposed subdivision layout, El Gato will become a de facto residential collector. Existing El Gato Lane was not designed or built to the ACHD residential collector specifications and cannot meet the design criteria. An in-line connection from a residential collector to smile-long residential street does not pass today's design criteria and will create traffic and safety problems. Meridian Planning and Zoning would be remiss by allowing an in-line connection from a residential collector street into a simple residential street. The El Gato neighborhood believes it is far better to prevent problems at the design stage by eliminating the straight-through connection across Black Cat Road. - The EI Gato neighborhood is zoned RT and serves as a transition between rural land and urban land. However, we believe that the abrupt transition from RT to the high-density subdivisions of Meridian is inappropriate and we support lower housing density in the proposed. subdivisions. - Not one family on EI Gato Lane supports the subdivisions as proposed. El Gato Neighborhood Recommendations: 1. Move the entrance to the proposed subdivisions north on Black Cat Road to just north of the Kennedy Lateral (this placement is at the top of a small rise which improves visibility and safety, should reduce the traffic on El Gato Lane, and meets the residential collector design specifications). 2. Lower the housing density in the proposed subdivisions to improve the transition from rural farmland to urban development. EI Gato Neigbborhood Position: We will oppose the Chesterfield subdivision as long as there is a direct in-line connection from EI Gato Lane to the proposed Castlebrook and Chesterfield subdivisions.

EI 6ato Lane is a quiet reaiderrtial street with about thirty families, Children ride their bikes and play in the street with their dogs. Kids and nduhts ride their horses ~ and down the street. Tn short, EI &ato Lori is the type of street that marry of us would like to live on and o street that represercts Meridian' s and Idaho's heritage. My understanding is that recent developments propose to directly connect EI 6ato Lnne through to Pine Street nt Ten Mile Road. The recent developments propose to make EI 6ato Lane o direct extension of Pine Street. Pine Street east of Ten Mite Road is a Significant arterial road and considerably differerrt in character than EI 6ato Lane. My family has no desire to see EI 6ato Lane become arrother Pine Street. I strongly encourage you not to connect EI Gato Lane through to Pine Street. There are rw reasons why the devebpmerrts proposed east of Black Cat Road must connect westward with EI bato Lane. The westward connection will da little other than increase traffic on EI 6oto Lane. People trnvelirg west will still be required to use the main arterials of Franklin and Cherry Lane west of McDermott. Making EI Gato Lone a western Extension of Pine Avenue will do ti+zry little to reliew± traffic congestion and likely ruin a nice ne~hborhood. My family strongly encourages you to make an offset connection somewhere between Ten Mile Road and Black Cat Road ~ that EI 6ato Lone does not become another residerotial street ruined by traffic. My family also encourages you to travel EI 6ato Lane (slowly pleo~) after school or on a weekend day in the spring to personally experience our neighborhood.
