IV. APPLICATION AND PROPERTY FACTS A. Site Address/Location: The subject property is located approximately ½ mile south of Chinden Blvd. and ¼ mile east of N. Black Cat Road, in the NW ¼ of Section 27, T. 4N., R. 1W. B. Applicant: Van Elg, Brighton Development 12601 W. Explorer Drive, Ste. 200 Boise, Idaho 83713 EXHIBIT A Bainbridge Subdivision No. 4 – FP H-2016-0094 2 C. Owner: Brighton Investments, LLC 12601 W. Explorer Dr., Ste. 200 Boise, Idaho 83713 D. Representative: Same as Applicant V. STAFF ANALYSIS The proposed final plat depicts 36 single-family residential building lots and 4 common lots on 13.03 acres of land in an R-8 zoning district. The minimum property size in this phase is 10,424 square feet (s.f.) with an average size of 11,834 s.f. The McMullen Lateral runs along the southern boundary of this site within a 30-foot wide prescriptive easement. When the preliminary plat for Bainbridge was approved in 2013, the lateral was proposed to be piped and half of the easement contained within a 15-foot wide common lot on this property with the other half anticipated being on a 15-foot wide common lot on the adjacent development to the south (Volterra North). This was purportedly agreed upon by the subject developer and the owner at that time of the property to the south . A pathway was proposed to be constructed as an amenity within the common lot for pedestrian access to the school site to the west. Since that time, ownership of the property to the south has changed. Staff recently met with the applicant, property owner to the south and the User’s Association for the McMullen Lateral to discuss the location of the easement between the two developments. The applicant agreed to absorb 20 feet of the easement with the main gravity pipe at the 10 foot mark; and the adjacent developer agreed to absorb the remaining 10 feet of the easement within building lots on the Volterra property. The Users Association for the lateral agreed to allow the easement to be located within building lots provided that the Homeowner’s Associations for both developments are responsible for all repairs via a license agreement (see email in Exhibit E). Because the adjacent developer does not intend to include the 10-foot wide easement in a common lot, the applicant does not feel the 15-foot wide common lot is wide enough to provide a pathway as originally proposed as they feel it would create too narrow of a corridor between the building lots. Therefore, the applicant would also like to locate the easement on building lots rather than a common lot. In lieu of the pathway, the applicant proposes that the swimming pool in phase 2 that was not part of the original approval be allowed to replace the pathway as an amenity. Staff supports the proposed replacement amenity. The UDC (11-3A-6C) requires irrigation easements wider than 10 feet to be included in a common lot that is a minimum of 20 feet wide and outside of a fenced area, unless modified by City Council at a public hearing with notice to surrounding property owners. The applicant wishes to request such a modification to allow the 20-foot wide easement to be located within building lots; however, because final plat applications do not require a public hearing or notice to surrounding property owners, the requirement cannot be waived as part of this application. Therefore, staff is including a condition of approval that the easement be located within common lots unless otherwise waived by City Council. Staff has reviewed the proposed final plat for substantial compliance with the approved preliminary plat (PP-13-011). There are a total of two additional building lots proposed in this phase within Blocks 10 and 16 than were shown on the preliminary plat; previous phases (1-3 and Bainbridge Park) contained the same number of building lots as shown on the approved preliminary plat. If Council approves a modification to UDC 11-3A6C and the McMullen Lateral is allowed to be included in an easement on building lots rather than on common lots, the amount of common area in this phase will decrease by 0.41 of an acre. Phases 1 and 2 and Bainbridge Park contained the same EXHIBIT A Bainbridge Subdivision No. 4 – FP H-2016-0094 3 amount of common area, but Phase 3 contained more common area than shown on the approved preliminary plat. To ensure substantial compliance with the preliminary plat, staff recommends an updated overall site plan/concept plat for the development that includes building lot and open space calculations consistent with that approved with the preliminary plat is submitted with the next phase final plat application. The overall number of building lots must be the same or fewer and qualified open space area should be the same or greater (a minimum of 31.66 acres or 16.55%). Because additional phases are proposed in which the building lot count and common area can be adjusted, staff deems the final plat to be in substantial compliance with the preliminary plat as required by UDC 11-6B-3C.2. VI. SITE SPECIFIC CONDITIONS 1. Applicant shall meet all terms of the approved annexation (AZ-05-058, Development Agreement #106141058), rezone (RZ-13-005) and preliminary plat (PP-13-011) applications approved for this site. 2.

Volterra and Bainbridge subdivisions are developing along the lateral with adjacent properties. Bainbridge has agreed to absorb 20 feet of this easement with the main gravity pipe at the 10 foot mark. Volterra with absorb 10 feet of this easement. They will be running pressurized irrigation. We are allowing this development on buildable lots along the lateral by both subdivisions with the understanding that the HOA's of the new developments will be responsible for all repairs and both developers will be placing this verbiage in their license agreements. The McMullen will not be financially responsible for any repairs, if needed, and said repairs will not preclude any member of the WUA from receiving their allotment of water. If you need any additional information from me, do not hesitate to ask. Regards, Don Brown McMullen Lateral WUA President
