RE: Hill Properties/Century Farm School REVISED Rec's for 6/16 CC Mtg
With the noted one -word revision, please note, for the record, that we are in full accord with the staff report
and Planning & Zoning Commission recommendation for City Council approval of the Hill Properties/Century
Farm School applications.
We look forward to presenting the West Ada school/ YMCA / community park project to the Council next
Tuesday and the opportunity to respond to questions Council members may have.

All.)
We have reviewed the referenced staff report, and the Planning & Zoning Commission's unanimous
recommendation for approval to the City Council. We concur with that recommendation —subject to the
attached one -word correction, as supported by the excerpt below from the applicant's May 21, 2015 request
to the P&Z Commission.
Specifically, the word "net" was contained in the applicant -proposed language which was unanimously
supported by the Commission in its recommendation. Thus, we request that the Council correct Condition
1.1.g.viii in its action, as intended.
"ISSUE 3: The Concept Plan submitted with the applications proposes Medium Density Residential (R-8) zoning with
projected densities of 4 to 8 dwelling units per acre for the westerly half of the Hill Properties. It is Marti Hill's
expressed desire that the future development of that area be compatible in density and character with Hill's Century
Farm Subdivision immediately to the south. The first two Phases of Century Farm achieved net densities of 5.0 and 4.6
dwelling units per acre, respectively.
CONCERN: Planning Division Comment 1. l.g. viii, Page 16, states that residential densities should range
from 6 to 8 units per acre. Given the Hill's development intent, that Comprehensive Plan objective will be
difficult to achieve and is not supported by the applicant.
REQUEST: That the Development Agreement specifically note that the R-8 residential net densities will
range from 4 to 8 units per acre. "
