The proposed plat consists of '16 residential tots anoy'eonlrfr&r dlf 6d 5',p'il6fttfi51e1f 4.49 acres ot tand in an R-'15 zone. In 2006, the property received annexati6n, preliminary plat and conditional use permit approvalto develop a 48-unit multi{amily development. The recorded development agreement restricts the number of units on the site to 48 units. After the previous approvals, a sliver of the property along the west boundary of the dnveway connection to Fairview Avenue was split from the subject parcel without proper subdivision approval from Ada County or the City of l\4eridian. Since the PiZ hearing the applicant is the process of purchasing the lVlorgan property to make the property whole again. The plat has been revised to include the Morgan property. A public street will be extended with the development of the site to stub to the west boundary. A 10{oot multi-use _ pathway will be constructed along the south boundary of the proposed public street in accord with the Pathways Plan.

The proposed project complies with the open space standards in the UDC. A majority of the open space has been provided in a central common lot which contains the planned amenities of a tot lot and gazebo and an area this 50 X 100 feet in size. Staff is recommending the applicant provide a quality of life amenity in accord with the multi{amily standards. The property is encumbered with numerous mature trees which the applicant must mitigate, The mitigation plan must be included on the revised landscape plan with the submittal of a final plat. The proposed four-plexes provide variations in the roof planes and provide modulation in the fagades. All of the structures incorporate a mix of building materials to include the following: stone wainscot on the front facade, and three (3) wood siding materials (board and batten, horrzontal lap and shake), The same building materials are proposed to screen the second story patios which staff believes enhances the architecture of the structures. The applicant is also proposing four (4) distinct color palettes of earth tone colors for the proposed development to provide color variation. A second building design that uses the same form and building materials but orient the materials differently on the faqade of the structure is required. The proposed carports must be painted or powder coated to complement the overall color scheme for the development.

Tuweep Street. Summary of Request: The applicant requests approval of a variance to UDC '11-2A-3D.3, which prohibits accessory buildings from encroaching into the required side yard. ln the latter part of 2012, the applicant stales that he came into the Community Development Department to obtain a building permit for a small shed. He states he showed the clerk a site plan showing where the shed would be located & was told that he would not need a permit to construct a shed less than '120 square feet in size; however, the shed should not be located over any utility easements. Based on this discussion, he located the shed outside of utility easements within the side yard of his property, The applicant also obtained approval for the shed from his HOA. ln May 2013, the applicant was notified by the City that the shed is located in an area that violates City Code and would need to be relocated or removed (accessory buildings are prohibited from being located within the required side yard). At that time, he met with staff to determine his options. Staff advised him hat his only option at this point other than to relocate or remove the shed is to apply for a variance. The applicant applied and was granted a fee waiver from Council on June 18, 2013 for the subject variance application. Staff has discussed this issue with the Fire Department and bey do not feel there is a public safety issue in allowing the shed to remain in its current location. The shed does not currently have gutters so drainage from the shed falls on the neighboring property. The applicant agrees to install gutters on the shed so drainage will fall on his property if Council approves the variance request. ln order to grant a variance, the Council needs to make the following flndings: 1. The variance shall not grant a right or special privilege that is not otheMise allowed in the district; 2. The variance relieves an undue hardship because of characteristics of the site; 3. The vaflance shall not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare. Staff finds granting the proposed variance would nol be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare based on comments from the Fire Departrnent but finds granting the variance would $anl a right or special privilege to the applicant that is not otherwise allowed. Further, staff finds there are no characleristics of the site that would prevent compliance with the subject UDC requirement. Therefore, staff recommends denial of the subject variance request.
