Staff finds that the proposed development will not present any health, safety or
environmental problems that would need to be brought to the Council or Conunission's
attention.
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
Park Draina_e 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 Reouirements~ 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 imensions; the resulting s mailer I of s izes a nd p roposed p afro h ones w ith s hared c ommon
drives will help to increase the diversity of Meridian's housing choices.
Shared Common Drives: The smaller patio home lots located in the southern ponion of the
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. Staff is
supportive of the proposed configuration for the patio lots and the diversity of housing types
which the applicant is proposing. The recently approved Berkeley Square subdivision featured a
similar configuration with a series of six small lots sharing a common drive, staff feels that the
proposed design for Chesterfield is superior to the approved design for Berkeley Square.
However, staff recomm~ends that the applicant design the proposed shared driveways to resemble
a private road rather than a standard driveway (i.e., a curb return rather than a rolled curb.)

sufficient such that the development will not create sib ificant interference with any traffic
on the sun-ounding public streets.
ACHD has not indicated that there are any significant traffic issues facing the proposed
project. Please review the ACHD report for this project for additional information
regarding this finding.

SITE SPECIFIC COMMENTS (Conditional Use Permit)
Applicant shall meet all of the requirements of the preliminary plat as a condition of the
Conditional Use Perntit.
2. All development shall comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Fair
Housing Act.
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 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.

This letter is concerning the Chesterfield Subdivision. These 46.40
acres aze 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 cor_gested.
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 tum 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 haze 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.
,Sincerely,
Garey and Andrea Casey

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 El Gato Lane. Urban development may be
inevitable however, please recognize the quality of the existence of the rural El 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 EI 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 EI Gato Lane is limited due to a gentle rise in the landscape, 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-orierned quality of life that we all ultunately seek.
This El Gato neighborhood is a very quiet, mile-long road of S-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
carnage 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.
This can be a win-win solution that will benefit us all -the residents of the El Gato
neighborhood, the future residents of the proposed Chesterfield subdivision, and the
citizens of Ada County and Meridian.

Ms Andrea Tuning:
I am a resident living on EI 6ato Lane and I rend your report regarding the
proposed Chesterfield subdivision:
http: //achd.ada.id.us/pdf/staff reports/128/Chesterfield5ubdivision.pdf
I did not see arty analysis of the traffic impact on EI Gato Lane west of
Black Cat Road. Was that analysis not done or was it completed and not
included in the report? What will be the traffic impact on EI 6ato Lane?
I've talked with nearly all of the EI 6ato Lane residents and we are all
very concerned about this proposed subdivision increasing traffic on EI Gato
Lane. As presently constructed, EI 6ato Lane fails to meet the design
requirements of n residential collector, and probably cannot be redesigned
to meet the residential collector design specifications. What plans does
ACRD have to mitigate the negative impacts of increased traffic on EI 6ato
Lane1

Dear Planners:
RECEiVE~'
1AN - 8 200
City of Meridian
City Clerk Office
The Meridian School District has experienced phenomenal student growth the last ten
years. The high schools, middle schools, and elementary schools throughout the district
are operating over capacity.
Approval of Chesterfield Subdivision will have a significant impact on school
enrollments at Chaparral Elementary Meridian Middle and Meridian Hieh School
We can predict that these homes, when completed, will house sixty-nine (69) elementary
aged children, fifty-nine (59) middle school aged children, and forty-five (45) senior high
aged students. Additional students will further compound the current overcrowded
situation. Residents cannot be assured of attending the neighborhood school, as it may be
necessary to bus students to other schools across the district.
School capacity is addressed in Idaho Code 67-6508. The Meridian School District is
currently operating beyond capacity. Future development will continue to have an impact
on the district's capacity. If you have any questions, please contact me at 888-6701.
Sincerely,
Wendel Bigham
Supervisor of Facilities and Construction

STORM WATER MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that storm water bepre-treated prior to discharge to the
subsurface to prevent impact to ground water and surface water quality. The
engineers and architects involved with the design of this project should obtain
current best management practices for storm water disposal and design a
storm water management system that is preventing groundwater and surface
water degradation. Manuals that could be used for guidance are:
,State of Idaho Catalog of Stormwater Best Management Practices For
Idaho Cities and Counties:
Prepared by the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality, July
1997.
Stormwater Best Management Practices Guidebook.

SHOP: Nampa 466-0663
Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District requires a Land Use Change Application be filed for
review prior to final platting. Please contact Donna Moore at 466-7861 for further
information.
All laterals and waste ways must be protected. The District's Purdam Drain and
Kennedy Lateral course through this proposed project. This easement must be
protected and any encroachment without a signed License Agreement and approved
plan, before any construction is started, is unacceptable.
All municipal surface drainage must be retained on site. If any surface drainage leaves
the site, the Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District must review drainage plans.
The developer must comply with Idaho Code 31-3805. It is recommended that irrigation
water be made available to all developments within the Nampa & Meridian Irrigation
District.

Dear Mr. Sherrow:

OFFICE: Nampa 466-7861
SHOP: Nampa 466-0663
Enclosed please find a Land Use Change Application for your use to file with the Irrigation
District for its review on the above-referenced development. If this development is under a
"rush" to be finalized, I would recommend that you submit a cashier's check, money order or
cash as payment of the fees in order to speed the process up. If you submit a company or
personal check, it must clear the bank before processing the application.
Should this development be planning a pressure urban irrigation system that will be owned,
operated and maintained by the Irrigation District, I strongly urge you to coordinate with John P.
Anderson, Water Superintendent for the Irrigation District, concerning the installation of the
pressure system. Enclosed is a questionnaire that you must fill out and return in order to initiate
the process of contractual agreements between the owner or developer and the Irrigation
District for the ownership, operation and maintenance of the pressure urban irrigation system.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please feel free to call on me at the District's
office, or John P. Anderson, at the District's shop.
Sincerely,
