Re: Edington Place Subdivision
Dear Sonya:
In response to your email and exhibit dated October 9, 2019 we have the following comments
regarding the open space calculations for the Edington Place Subdivision:
The open space on the north end of the project meets the Meridian City Code Section
11-3G-3, Section E as it is over 20' wide and over 50' in length. It also meets the
requirements of Subsection E, as it is intended to be used as a natural landscape area
with two water ways on either side of a gravel pathway.
2. The pathway will provide an opportunity for residence and the public to enjoy the
natural area with its existing trees and waterways. The pathway will also provide a
future connection to the regional pathway to the East that runs through the Woodburn
Subdivision.
3. The area to the south of the main entry of the project is connected to the neighborhood
park, we have been allowed to count landscaped areas that are attached to larger
landscaped areas (parks) in the past.
4. The area on the North side of the main entry that is being requested to be removed is
very small and removal from the calculations would not result in a reduction of the 15%
open space calculation.
We respectfully request that our landscape plan and calculations be accepted and
recommended for approval to the governing bodies. Thank you
Sincereiv.
