Broadway Avenue Meridian, ID 83642 Re: Swindell Subdivision — MDA H-2017-0145—Staff Report Dear Madam Mayor and Members of the City Council: On behalf of the applicant, Volante Investments LLLP, the Staff Report for the above referenced Development Agreement Modification application has been reviewed and we are in agreement with all of the conditions of approval except for Item 5.1(e)(i) on Exhibit A.4 on page 13. We cannot agree to provide vehicular interconnectivity between the lots. We will make every attempt to provide cross -access easements and interconnectivity between the larger lots on the freeway side of the subdivision, but it would be problematic to provide vehicular interconnectivity for the lots to the south of Bird Dog Drive. We respectfully ask that the requirement for interconnectivity be removed. As required on page three of the Staff Report, we have attached a revised narrative, renderings and photographs which reflect a sampling of the type and quality of building we propose to be constructed in the subdivision. Thank you very much for your consideration. Sincere[ , Bradley E. Mi er Building Design Cohesiveness Swindell Subdivision — Development Agreement Modification MPP16-0005/AZ-15-010/PP15-013/RZ-15-011— Approved April 5, 2016 It is the intent of the applicant that the buildings within the Swindell Subdivision be of good quality and share common elements which will provide a consistency and cohesiveness to the development. The intent is to create a development of the quality of the Sliverstone, EI Dorado and the Majestic theater developments, although on a smaller scale. The buildings will not be cookie cutter and will feature varied architectural design, but will share architectural accents with the incorporation of modulated and articulated exteriors and ample and varied fenestration. The buildings will share accents of stone, masonry, metal or stucco similar to other buildings in the general area of Locust Grove and Overland. All buildings will be subject to the review and approval of the subdivision architectural review committee and the City of Meridian architectural review process. There will be significant review and oversight of the design for each of the buildings ensuring the desired consistency and cohesiveness. Attached are photos and renderings which depict buildings similar to those which will be incorporated into the buildings constructed in the Swindell Subdivision.
