lantJ witl a rcsideuce and associateil
outbuildings located tiortting Eagle I{oad. The locaiion is depicted in site rnap

Appcndix.
General Gcology Of Area:
'l'lre subject site is located within
the lloise Valley rvhich is clirectly underlain by a thick sequence of alluvial
sands and gravels typically depositcd on basalt fonnations. These secliments
are loosely named the Boise
River Gravels and were deposited as river floodplain and stream overwash fi-om
the Boise River. Tl:ese
gravel <leposits tend to ltave imbricated'uvell-rounded clasts, poor sorting
and cr-ude stratificatio, of beds of'
gravel and lenses of cross-bedded sand suggesting deposition in braidedihannels.
The Boise Ri,er Gravels
consist of unconsolidated clay, silt, sand, gravel, arrd cobbles. These gravels trave
been subdividect into
smaller units based on theil'age and are exposed as distinct alluvial ter:'aces. Five
of these terraces are *,ell
exposed in the Boise area and range in age fi'onr lr,lid<Ile Pleistocene to l{olocene (Recent)
(0 - 0.9 million
years ago). The site lies on the Whitnev Terrace, the second terace above
the cunently defined floodplain.
Geologic data published for the area indicated that bedrock is typically er:countered
at a depth of
approxir:rately 100 feet beneath the soilsurface (otliberg and Stanford,'islz1.'
Site Topography, Drainagc Anrl Vegetation:
The proirosed development consists of approxinrately 8.66 acres of relatively flat terrain.
and rs bisected by,
the Nolth Slough. Residences with associated outbuildings are located on each
of the three p.operties. The
parcel is botrnded on the north Madison Park Suhclivision, on the east by Eagle
Roacl, on tire so,th by
conrmercial properties, arld on the rvest by undevelopecl rural propcrties.
Regiorral c'lrairtage is north torvard the Boise River'. Stormrvater drainage for the site rs achiei,ed
by
percolation through sr.rrficial soils. No stom:u,ater drainage facilities are locateci in the vicinity of
the site

fi'orn degradation resulting frorn constructjon tralfic or subsequent constructio!1.
Recomntendcd granular structural fill rnaterials, those classified as CW, GP, SW, SP, slrould consist of a
6
irtch minus select, clean, granulal soil rvith no more than 30% oversize (greater than % inch)
n-rateriai and no
tttore lhan 12% llnes (less than #200) and placed in layers not t0 exceed 9 inches in thickncss.
prior to
placement of strrrctural fill materials, surflaces nrust be prepared as outlinecl in the Construction
Considcrations section. Structural fill niaterial should be moisture-conditioned to achieve 6ptintun-r
tnoisture corltent prior to cotllpactiolt. For structural fi11 below footings, areas of compacteil backfill must
extend outside the perimeter of the footing for a distance equal to the thickless of fill between the
bottonr of
fbundation and underlying soils, or 5 feet, whichever is less.
Each layer of structural fill must be contpacted to a minimum density of 95% of maxinrum dry density as
determined by ASTM D i557 (for rigid stluctures) or D 698 (for flexible pavenienls).
The ASTM D 1,557
and D 698 test nrethods shall be used fbr sanillles containing up to 40% oversize pa(icles (greater than %
inch). If material contains more than 40% but less than 500/o oversize particles, compaction Lf ntt rt utt U*
confirnred by proof-rolling each lil't with a l0-ton vibratory roller (or equivalelt) until the ntaxitrlnn
4e1.rit.t,
has been achieved. Density testing shall be pcrformecl attcr each pro<lf-rolling pass
gntil the in-place 6ensiry
test results indicate a drop (or no increase) in thc dry clensity, defined as the maximtnn clensitl,
or
,'break

placemet:t. Material sltall conlzrin sufficient fines to {1ll all void spaces. and shall not contain more than
509i,
oversiz-e particles.
Backlill:
Backlrll materials shall ascribe to the requirernents olstnrctural fill except that the maximum n:aterial size
shall be 4 inches. I:t no case strall nraterial greater than 2 inches in diameter bear ciirectly on structural
elements. Placing oversized materiiil against rigid surfaces interferes rvith propel' compaction. Backfiil
should tre cotlrpacted in irccordance rvitlr specifications for structural fill, except i1 those areas u,here iI is
deternrined that ftrture settlement is not a concern, such as planter areas, In uonstructural areas, backfill must
be compacted to a firnr and unyieldin_u condition.

Application(s):
> Preliminary Plat
Size of property, existing zoning, and location: This site consists of
'13.56 acres, is currently zoned R-8, and is located south of E
MclVillan Road & west of N, Eagle Road on the north side of E. Wainwright Drive.
History: This site was annexed in 2005 with an R-8 zoning district & preliminary platted as lVilford Creek Subdivision. A DA was not
required as a provision of annexation. A linal plat was approved in 2007 but never received City Engineer srgnature
& the preliminary
plat has since expired.
Summary of Request: The proposed plat consists of 38 building lots & 4 common/other lots on 13.56 acres of land in the R-8 zonin
s
district. The gross density is 2.8 dwelling units/acre, slightly below the target density of the MDR designation for this property. There
is
an existing home on Lot 4, Block 4 that is proposed to remain; the existing barn is proposed to be removed.
The primary access for this subdivision is at the south boundary via E. Wainwright Drive. W. Milford Drive, an existlng stub street, is
proposed to be extended at the east boundary & a stub street is proposed at the west boundary for future extension. The existing home
has an access easement via N. Eagle Road which staff is recommending no longer be used; access via Eagle Road is prohibited. This
home cunently takes access via Wainwnght Drive and the applicant requests Council approval to retain this access.
A 20' wide street buffer is required along E, Wainwright Drive, a collector street. This buffer is required to be extended across the lot
where the existing home is located. A total of 1.64 acres of qualified open space is proposed consisting of a pocket park,
and
landscaped street buffers & parkways; playqround equipment is proposed as a site amenity in accord w/UDC standards. No new
fencing is proposed; however, there is an existing 6' tall fence located at the back of the existing sidewalk where the existing home is
located that does not comply with the City's fencing standards and will need to be removed.
The North Slough crosses the NEC of the site; the applicant requests a waiver from Council to allow the canal to remain open due to its
large capacity & not be piped as required by the UDC.

ZEBULON COMMONS SUBDIVISION
NARRATTVE
The applicant is requesting preliminary plat approval of Zebulon Commons Subdivision containing 38
single-family residential lots and four common lots on 13.65 acres. The property is located west of N.
Eagle Road and north of E. Wainwright Drive. The subject site is zoned R-8 (Medium Density
Residential) and was annexed in 2006 as the Milford Creek development (AZ-05-047 and PP-05-050).
The project was originally annexed under Ordinance 05-1208, and no development agreement was
required for the project. The original preliminary plat application included ten additional buildable lots
ranging from 6,200 square feet to 8,200 square feet. A final plat (FP-07-015) and construction plans were
submitted and approvedin2007. The preliminary plat, final plat and construction plans have expired.
The Zebulon Heights developer, The Traditions by Amyx tI, LLP (Todd Amyx), purchased the project in
2010. The current site plan is consistent with the original plat with fewer lots. The proposed minimum
lot size is 9,000 square feet, with an average lot size of 10,846 square feet. The gross density of this
project is 2.80 dwelling units per acre (du/acre), and the net density is 3.44 dwelling units per acre.
The project includes 4 common lots totaling 2.5 acres, or 12.09 percent of eligible open space. The
primary open space of 1.05 acres is located in the center of the project. The proposed amenities include a
pathway in the central park and playground equipment. The project will be integrated into the Alpine
Pointe Homeowners Association (Zebulon Heights Subdivision). Recreational opportunities will be
shared between the subdivisions with access to the pool facility for all residents.
The project will take primary access to Wainwright Drive, which is designated as a collector roadway east
of this project. The intersection of Wainwright Drive and Eagle Road will be signalized in July 2013.
The applicant is proposing detached sidewalks with six-foot landscape buffers. The trees within the
landscaped parkway will have root barriers consistent with ACHD standards. Sewer and water will be
extended into the site via the existing Zebulon Heights Subdivision. The development will connect to the
existing pressure irrigation pump station located in Zebulon Heights Subdivision. The proposed
secondary source for the pressure irrigation system will be provided by United Water.
The Settlers Canal abuts the north boundary of the subject property. Existing easements for the Settlers
Canal are delineated on the preliminary plat. The applicant requests a waiver to the piping requirement
for the Settlers Canal. The facility requires a7}-inch pipe which would be cost-prohibitive. No pathway
opportunities are available along this section of the Settlers Canal. No variances are being requested as
part of this development.

Denny and Steve,
I am not sure who might be reviewing the Zebulon Commons Subdivision, but I was just wondering the status of the
review.
(The contractor wants to order the manholes as soon as possible, otherwise he won't get them until April.)
Thanks for any information that you can give mel
