Dear Bill:
Subject: Revised Maddyn Village CZC & DR Narrative
On behalf of Maddy Homes LLC, A Team Land Consultants presents to the City of
Meridian a certificate of zoning compliance and design review application for Maddyn
Village Subdivision. The subject property is located on the west side of Meridian Road,
approximately 500 -feet south of Ustick Road. This portion of the development contains
3.52 total acres.
The applicant is proposing 48 -units, which consist of eight 4-plex buildings and two 8-
plex buildings. The amenities that are provided include, a club house/office, community
gardens, Bocci Ball court, large open areas, and a horseshoe pit. A final plat has been
approved for this development and substantially complied with the approved preliminary
plat. The gross density of the multifamily area is calculated at 13.63 dwelling units to
the acre. All of the multifamily lots have access Meridian Road via a private drive isle,
proposed off Meridian Road. No direct access is proposed to Meridian Road.
The proposed development includes 1.61 acres of open space to be used site amenities
and pedestrian pathways. A 25 -foot landscape buffer is provided along Meridian Road
to buffer adjacent traffic from this site. A pathway will be extended to our north
boundary for future connection to the adjacent property and the park north of Ustick
Road. The pathway will be located within a common lot and planted with trees and
shrubs to give the pathway area a more open feel. All landscape areas will be
landscaped in accordance with Meridian City Code. There is existing fencing along our
west and south boundary with portions on our north boundary. Additional fencing will be
installed to match the existing. Fencing will be constructed in accordance with City
Code.
Existing wet and dry utilities are being extended into this site. Sewer and water are
being extended from Meridian Road into this development. Dry utilities will also be
extended into this site to all building lots. The common areas will be utilized for storm
drain, with seepage beds handling the nuisance water. Pressurized irrigation is
proposed to all common areas. The Nampa Meridian Irrigation District has jurisdiction
over our irrigation facilities.

As part of the application we are submitting color photographs of the proposed
buildings. The color combination for the buildings will be a mixture of earth tones as
shown on the submitted pictures. The fascia and trim will be designed in such a way as
to better accent the earth tones. Variations in wall panels and rooflines are provided to
also add architectural amenities to the buildings appearance. All of the buildings will be
constructed to a minimum of a Silver LEED standard, thus providing energy efficiency.
This in turn allows the mechanical units to be constructed smaller. Two -foot fencing will
be provided to screen the mechanical units. The Car Ports will be a metal white powder
coated canopy supported with columns of similar material.
All of the 4-plex and 8-plex buildings facades are architecturally attractive and help
function to promote higher end rental units. Each of the 4-plex units are two stories with
its own individual entrance on each side of the building. The 8-plex building will have 2
units on either side of a stair well leading upstairs to a mirrored version of the
downstairs units. The architectural style will be of similar high quality of the 4-plex units,
that have multiple facades and texture that emphasize several architectural elements.
Pathways to the entrances are provided from the parking area to each unit, thus giving
the renter the feel of a private entrance. By providing a mix of 4-plex units and 8-plex
units, and architectural variations, it will ensure that the view from the street will have no
two buildings looking the same.
It is anticipated that the applications are in compliance with all applicable plans and
codes adopted by the City. Please notify us as early as possible if you should need
additional clarification or information regarding this application.
Sincerely,
A Team Land Consultants
