SUBJECT: H-2019-0063
Edgehill Subdivision No. 2
LOCATION: 1405 W. Victory Rd., in the NW ¼ of
Section 25, T.3., R.1W.
I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Applicant proposes a Final Plat consisting of 83 building lots and 5 common lots on 25.57 acres
of land in the R-4 zoning district.
II. APPLICANT INFORMATION
A. Applicant:
Shawn Brownlee, Trilogy Development, Inc. – 9839 W. Cable Car St., Ste. 101, Boise, ID 83709
B. Owner:
Corey Barton – 1977 E. Overland Rd., Meridian, ID 83642
C. Representative:
Summer Hirschfield, J-U-B Engineers, Inc. – 250 S. Beechwood Ave., Ste. 201, Boise, ID 83709
III. STAFF ANALYSIS
Staff has reviewed the proposed final plat for substantial compliance with the approved preliminary
plat in accord with the requirements listed in UDC 11-6B-3C.2. Because the number of buildable lots
and common area is the same as shown on the approved preliminary plat, staff deems the final plat in
substantial compliance with the approved preliminary plat.
A segment of the City’s multi-use pathway system is proposed across the southwest corner of this site
along with internal micro-pathways as amenities.
STAFF REPORT
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda June 25, 2019 – Page 143 of 348
Page 2
The City Council approved a waiver for the segment of the Sundall Lateral that crosses this site to
remain open and not be piped or otherwise covered due to its large capacity in accord with UDC 11-
3A-6A.3.
Note: There was a discrepancy in the building lot count for Phase 1 on the application; there were
actually 33 building lots approved with that phase, not 34. Lot 11, Block 2 was initially proposed to be
a building lot and then was changed to a common lot.
IV. DECISION
Staff recommends approval of the proposed final plat within the conditions noted in Section VIII
of this report.

B. Public Works
Site Specific Conditions:
1. The street lighting plan submitted with the application appears to comply with Meridian City
Standards based on a preliminary review.
2. The City of Meridian requires that pressurized irrigation systems be supplied by a year-round
source of water (MCC 9-1-28.C.1). The applicant should be required to use any existing surface
or well water for the primary source. Meridian City Code requires that if a surface or well
source is not available, a single-point connection to the culinary water system shall be required.
However, at this time the Boise Project Board of Control/ New York Canal Company do not
allow these connections. The City of Meridian and the Boise Project/New York Canal, have
been in discussions regarding the City’s single point connection requirements. The irrigators
understand the need, and have so far been favorable to working out a solution. Since we don’t
yet have a final agreement, the applicant shall be required to install the necessary piping for a
single point connection (sans backflow prevention) with the construction of the second phase
of the subdivision. This will help easily facilitate the connection when/if we get to an
agreement with the irrigators. If and when a single-point connection is utilized, the developer
will be responsible for the payment of assessments for the common areas prior to development
plan approval.
General Conditions:
1. Sanitary sewer service to this development is available via extension of existing mains adjacent
to the development. The applicant shall install mains to and through this subdivision; applicant

sewer mains is three feet, if cover from top of pipe to sub -grade is less than three feet than
alternate materials shall be used in conformance of City of Meridian Public Works Departments
Standard Specifications.
2. Water service to this site is available via extension of existing mains adjacent to the
development. The applicant shall be responsible to install water mains to and through this

of the structures. Where approved by the City Engineer, an owner may post a performance
surety for such improvements in order to obtain City Engineer signature on the final plat as set
forth in UDC 11-5C-3B.
4. Upon installation of the landscaping and prior to inspection by Planning Department staff, the
applicant shall provide a written certificate of completion as set forth in UDC 11-3B-14A.

Agreement with the City of Meridian. The surety can be posted in the form of an irrevocable
letter of credit, cash deposit or bond. Applicant must file an application for surety, which can
