Adopt the Recommendations of Meridian Parks & Recreation Department as' follows:
The Developer shall provide a minimum 25 acre park site adjacent to Ten Mile Road. The
Developer shall receive 100% of the park impact fees collected from the Lochsa Falls
project up to the cost of the 20.51 acres at the City's expense, and the Developer shall not
be required to provide an irrigation system, rough grading, fine grading and seeding, and
said reimbursement shall not be limited to this development. The Developer shall also
donate to the City 5 acres for a future City park.
The Developer shall be responsible for a 14' wide hard surface pathway or section of
parking lot over the utility easement running along the south boundary of the park site or
the developer may construct the utilities south of the subject property within the future
street alignment of the Bews parcel. If the developer chooses to construct the utilities
along the south boundary of the park site, the developer shall be responsible for
coordinating the location of the easement with the Parks Department.
Adopt and comply with the action of the City Council from their October 8, 2002 meeting
as follows:
Adopt the Accommodations made by Farwest, LLC in an August 15,2002 memo entitled
"Tony Moss" as follows, including amendments made by the Planning and Zoning
Commission:
a.
b.
A park lot will be moved to the east of the Moss parcel.
On Lots 11, 12, and 13 of Block 6 east of the Moss parcel, Applicant agreed to a
25' peak building height to retain the view (one of the three lots mentioned above
will be an open lot).
Applicant will provide large lots on the north and south of the Moss parcel, as
indicated on the Preliminary Plat.
Applicant will provide a common area on the west (Lot 6 Block 6), and agreed to
retain Mr. Moss's plum trees on the west, if possible.
Applicant agreed to pipe any irrigation ditches contiguous to the Lochsa Falls
property prior to the issuance of occupancy permits in the affected phase.
Applicant agreed to construct a water feature at the McMillan Road entryway.
Applicant agreed to deed Lot 1, Block 6 to Mr. Moss and pave a driveway across
this lot if Mr. Moss relinquishes his current access easement.
Applicant agreed to coordinate boundary fencing with Mr. Moss consistent with
the Lochsa Falls Subdivision.

The City is not aware of whether the accommodations, as amended by the Commission
and approved by the Developer, have been approved by the Mosses. Ifthe Mosses do
approve the aforementioned list, then the accommodations shall be binding upon the
Developer. IfMr. and Mrs. Moss do not agree to such accommodations as listed, the
Developer will not be bound to such terms. The Developer and the Mosses have
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - Page 8
AND DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION
FOR ANNEXATION AND ZONING/LOCHSA FALLS (AZ-O2-O10)
negotiated a relinquishment of the Mosses' easement from McMillan Road to their parcel
of property. If the Mosses do not agree to relinquish such easement, the Developer shall
be free to dedicate as a lot the land held in easement. The Developer shall present Mr.
and Mrs. Moss with a writing setting forth the Developer's agreement to such
accommodations and relinquish of the Moss' easement. In the event the Mosses do not
execute the appropriate writing within a sixty (60) day period, such refusal shall be the
determination that Mr. and Mrs. Moss do not agree to the referenced accommodations
and relinquishment.
2.
As a condition of annexation, and as a condition of the Development Agreement,
applicant shall participate in any road infrastructure agreements negotiated with ACHD
and shall faithfully perform the terms of such agreement or agreements.
10.
It is found that if the developer pays for the requested improvements
and complies with the conditions set forth in these Findings of Fact No.9, and all sub-parts, the
economic welfare of the City and its residents and tax and rate payers will be protected, a
condition of annexation and zoning designation.
11.
It is also found that the development considerations as referenced in Finding No.9
are reasonable to require and must be taken into account, in order to assure the proposed
development is designed, constructed, operated and maintained in a manner which is harmonious
and appropriate in appearance with the existing, or intended character of the general vicinity, in
order to assure that the proposed use will not change the essential character ofthe affected
vicinity and will insure that the proposed uses will not be hazardous or disturbing to the existing,
or future neighboring uses, particularly considering the impact of proposed development on
potential to produce excessive traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare and odors.
12.
It is found that the zoning of the subject real property as Low Density Residential
District (R-4) requires connection to the Municipal Water and Sewer systems and will be
compatible with the Applicant's development intentions, and will assure that the zoning is
consistent with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan Generalized Land Use Map which designates
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - Page 9
AND DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION
FOR ANNEXATION AND ZONINGILOCHSA FALLS (AZ-O2-01O)
the subject property as Mixed Planned Use Development.
13.
The subject annexation request and zoning designation and proposed
development relates to and is compatible with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan
of the City as follows:
Goals Section
Goal 3, Goal 4, Goal 8, and Goal 9
Economic Development
1.1, 1.3, 1.5, 3.lU, and 3.2U

14.
The requested zoning designation ofR-4 is harmonious with and in accordance
with the adopted Comprehensive Plan and Generalized Land Use Map, which designates the land
to be primarily "Single-Family Residential", with a park. The draft Comprehensive Plan Future
Land Use Map designates this area as both Low Density (3 d.u.lacre and below) and Medium
Density Residential (3-8 d.u.lacre). Although, the Schedule of Use Control states that only
detached single-family dwellings are permitted within the R- zone, the Planned Development
Ordinance allows a mixture of different housing types, (townhouses, duplexes and detached
single-family dwellings) within a single planned development, regardless of the underlying zone,
so long as the overall density of the underlying zone is not exceeded. Accordingly, the overall
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - Page 10
AND DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING APPLICA nON
FOR ANNEXA nON AND ZONINGILOCHSA FALLS (AZ-O2-0 1 0)
density of the residential portion of the planned development is approximately 3 A dwelling units
per acre (gross). Furthermore, the Planned Development Ordinance allows for up to 20% of the
land within a planned development to be used in a manner that the underlying zone would
typically prohibit. Therefore, the proposed office and commercial uses comply with the
Comprehensive Plan's land use designations.
15.
It is not anticipated that the land to be annexed will be rezoned in the future.
16.
It is found that the property will be developed in a manner consistent with the new
zoning and/or consistent with allowable Planned Development uses (e.g. 20% excepted uses).
17.
It is found that the recent annexation and zoning of the Bridgetower Subdivision
to the west and south of proposed Lochsa Falls is a significant change in the area, and that
Bridgetower is a Planned Development similar to the proposed Lochsa Falls Subdivision. The
four (4) arterial streets abutting this mile section are not planned for improvements in Ada
County Highway District's Five Year Work Program. However, the Ustick/Ten Mile
intersection is slated for a new signal within the next 3-4 years.
18.
It is found that the proposed uses (primarily residential) match the intended
character of the vicinity, as noted on the Generalized Land Use Map. It is also found that the
proposed uses can be designed and constructed in a manner that will be harmonious with and
appropriate in appearance with the existing and intended character ofthe surrounding area with
the possible exception being the creation of a number of small county enclaves that will be
surrounded by the new uses. However, the majority of the enclaves are rural-residential and are
surrounded by residential uses. The existing character of the area will change, especially upon
build-out of the proposed project.
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW - Page 11
AND DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION
FOR ANNEXATION AND ZONINGILOCHSA FALLS (AZ-O2-010)
19.
It is not anticipated that the proposed uses will be hazardous to future or existing
neighbors. A potential disturbance may be with the existing agricultural uses, which could be
adequately addressed through the Right-to-Farm clause in Idaho State Code.
20.
It is anticipated that because of the phasing pattern proposed by the applicant,
significant amounts of off-site sewer and water main extensions will be necessary. The Sewer
Master Plan proposes the North Slough Trunk traversing through this proposed development. By
starting the phasing on the opposite side of the section from where the North Slough Sewer
Trunk begins traversing east (i.e. Ten Mile Road), the rnuting locks proposed roadway
alignments into place. If the phasing plan is approved, the applicant will be required to construct
water mains and the trunk line through the projects roadway system within the normal utility
corridors. No service lines will be allowed in the off-site segments. The applicant will also be
required to construct an all weather 14-foot wide paved access road over the off-site segments
within this project.
21.
If approved, the developer will be financing the extension of sewer, water, local
street infrastructure, utilities and irrigation services to serve the project. The primary public costs
to serve the future residents will be fire, police and school facilities and services. Although a
detailed analysis was not done specifically on Lochsa Falls, it is generally found that tax revenues
generated by urban residential development do not pay for the long-term provision of these urban
services. It is found that there will not be excessive additional requirements at public cost and
that the annexation and zoning will not be detrimental to the community's economic welfare.
22.
It is found that that proposed residential, office and com.mercial uses themselves
will not be detrimental. However, it is found that the proposed uses will create additional traffic
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW -Page 12
AND DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION
FOR ANNEXATION AND ZONINGILOCHSA FALLS (AZ-O2-010)
on Linder, Ten Mile, and McMillan Roads and Chinden Blvd. The Traffic Impact Study
provided by the Applicant states that the development is estimated to generate 12,480 additional
vehicle trips per day (20 existing). It is also noted that the mixed use nature of the proposed
development will encourage a higher degree of trip capture within the square mile (estimated at
10% of total trips). In this regard, the "excessive production" of traffic is lessened versus a
project without accessible neighborhood services. It is not anticipated that the proposed uses will
create excessive noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors.
23.
The ACHD Commission has reviewed and approved the vehicular approaches to
Lochsa Falls Subdivision off ofTen Mile, Linder and McMillan Roads. The Idaho
Transportation Department (ITD) has also reviewed and approved the subdivision and has
limited access to State Highway 20 & 26 (Chinden) to the half-mile collector street (N. Lochsa
Way). ITD required the elimination of the proposed access road to Chinden that is east of the
half-mile collector (N. Dry Bar). This will help to reduce future interference with traffic turning
off of the existing highway into the proposed subdivision. The applicant's traffic study finds
that, at build-out, all four (4) arterial road intersections at the corners of Section 26 will be at a
LOS F. The existing, no-build McMillanlLinder Road and ChindenlLinder Road intersections
are found to need improvement with widening of all four approaches. The ChindenlTen Mile
intersection needs to be improved with widening of the northbound approach. It is found that a
Collector roadway connecting the subdivision to Ten Mile Road is warranted by the scale of this
development and the lack of access to the proposed city park from within the subdivision. It is
also found that the applicant has proposed adequate connections to adjacent, undeveloped
properties; thirteen (13) stub-streets for interconnectivity are proposed.

FOR ANNEXATION AND ZONINGILOCHSA FALLS (AZ-O2-O10)
24.
It is found that the annexation of this property would be in the best interest of the
City by providing a variety of housing types, the addition of employment opportunities and the
creation of additional recreation facilities (pathways and parks).

The zoning of Low Density Residential District (R-4) is defined in
the Zoning Ordinance at § 11-7-2 C as follows:
(R-4) Low Density Residential District: Only single-family dwellings shall be permitted
and no conditional uses shall be permitted except for planned residential development and
public schools. The purpose of the R-4 District is to permit the establishment oflow density
single-family dwellings, and to delineate those areas where predominantly residential
development has, or is likely to occur in accord with the Comprehensive Plan of the City, and
to protect the integrity of residential areas by prohibiting the intrusion of incompatible
nonresidential uses. The R-4 District allows for a maximum of four (4) dwelling units per
acre and requires connection to the Municipal water and sewer systems of the City.
