Members file to ensure they are aware and up to date regarding this project. - I would like this also uploaded on the
overhead screen for your presentation Sonya - specifically the Colored Plan (4th attachment), as this addresses
everything that both the City and Neighbors had concerns with.
Caleb/Bill/Bruce/Sonya -
--- also, and most importantly Council ----
Please consider this email as formal response to the Goddard Creek Townhome submittal - City Council - Staff Report,
Dated January 21, 2020.
enclosures: Updated project layout, Qualified Open Space (although not required), ACHD Staff report and West Ada
School District email.
We are in agreement with all Recommendations and Conditions (both Specific and General) as set forth in the Staff
Report. In addition, please see the following comments and attached documents/updates for clarification. We have
farther improved the project that fare and well exceeds all vision, code and expectations. I am aware you have not had
this prior to the meeting due to vacations and personal leave. My goal is to summarize those items and provide specifics.
I would like to address Page 11 of the Staff Report - VI. Decision, B, #2, #3 and #4:
- #2 Key issues of public testimony:
- a. - "Saturation of higher density residential in the area"
• This particular project not only meets, but exceeds those goals as set forth by the City
of Meridian Comp. Plan
• This project density is only 8.8 units to the acre - which is a desired blend between all
existing/built uses
The existing Development Agreement is not only outdated but has also been modified,
which has changed the entire dynamics of this area
Office/Commercial is no longer viable in this area due to new existing/built/approved
uses that have transpired following the original Development Agreement
It is widely and generally agreed that proper planning advocates higher densities within
close proximity to employment hubs - this project fits this goal
- b. - "Opposition"
• We have held multiple neighborhood meetings, however few have attended and just a
few have expresses concerns
• We have addressed concerns and negotiated - we have also significantly addressed
issues and improved our designs and products
• We have proven compliance with City Code and Comp. Plan
• Very few Neighbors have attended Neighborhood of City Meetings
• Online signatures are not the same as attendance - also several online comments were
equally positive
- #3 Key issues of discussion by Commission:
- a. - "Continuing Hearing because Parent Teacher conferences"
• We agreed and scheduled an additional meeting - No One Showed Up at Willow Creek
Elementary
• We have conducted 3 Neighborhood meetings (one (a 4th) was canceled due to
Meridian Noticing failures)
*At these meetings there were no more than 12 Neighbors in attendance
• We have noticed legally and verifiably per. the City of Meridian Code
- b. - "Crowded Schools"
This project per. West Ada School Dist. will add only 35 (at best) children to the
following Schools:
- Willow Creek Elementary
- Sawtooth Middle School
- Rocky Mountain High
• This project will not be completed until fall of 2021 through 2022 - The School Dist. has
appropriated funds for expansion between now and then to accommodate this.
**** See Email dated today from WACS that confirms our needs and projections ****
- c. - "Current thresholds of the roads and impacts"
• ACHD has reviewed and DOES APPROVE this APPLICATION.
• A "D" Rating does not convey danger - rather indicates a slight delay in timing to
merge into traffic
• This parcel of land was contemplated well before those within the recent 8 years - to
burden this via more recent "approvals" is not acceptable "Planning"
- d. - Agreed and coordinated with Meridian City - also it added additional open space
- e. - It is important to distinguish the defiance between "rental" and "townhouses" - Townhouses are
owned (the structure and the land)
• The current "adopted" Comp. Plan identifies this as Use and Area as not only a Goal
but also an Objective and an Action.
- f. - This has no bearing as the City has modified this original design/development/DA/Approvals and
Comp. Plan multiple time
- g. - This has no bearing as the City has modified this original design/development/DA/Approvals and
Comp. Plan multiple time
**** Further - Our Project "Fits" with Meridians goals ****
- h. - Office is not viable - see submitted letters as well as testimony this evening
- i. - This project is providing open space in excess of 20% and multiple amenities - That are not
required per Code
***Parking issues*** - the Neighbors have raised concerns that parking is an issue via Meridian's
approval of the Apartments to the North - although, this should not be our issue, we propose the following, as good
neighbors:
• All of OUR Homes will have 2 garaged spaces as well as 2 Driveway spaces. - This
achieves base Code requirement.
• We (within our development are providing 16 additional (including Handicap) parking
stalls for visitors. - This exceeds Code requirement.
• Our internal roadway (although Private) is built at 32' back of curb to back of curb,
which also allows for on -street parking. - This exceeds Code requirement.
• We are also willing to further expand the width of the Norther (private) road into the
Apartments and Our project - to 32' which would allow for addition parking for the
Apartments, alleviating all parking issues.
Parking summary -
spaces
parking = 16 parking spaces
Homes = 41 x 4 = 164 parking spaces
Visitor Parking = 16 parking spaces
Private Road on -street parking =22 parking
North Selway Rapids added road widening and
Total = 218 spaces for 41 homes = 5.31 spaces
per. unit ---- this is more than double Code and helps existing issues !!!
- #4 Commission changes to Staff recommendation:
- a. - "Commission recommended denial"
• This is contrary to Idaho State Statute regarding Private Property
Rights
• This application is consistent with the City of Meridian Comp. Plan
3
• This application is consistent with and exceeds Meridian Code
Requirements for Design/Conformance
• This project will produce a well documented/wanted/needed
housing product within Meridian
Thank you

A. Findings
of Fact
1. Description of Application: The applicant is requesting approval of a rezone from R-4 (Medium -
Low Density Residential) to R-15 (Medium High Density Residential), a private road and a
preliminary plat application to allow for the development of a 52-lot subdivision, consisting of 44
residential lots and 8 common lots on 4.6 acres.
The applicant's proposal is consistent with the City of Meridian's comprehensive plan which calls
for a mixed -use neighborhood on this site.

3. Site History: ACHD staff previously reviewed this as Goddard Creek Subdivision in February
2017. The requirements of this staff report are generally consistent with those of the prior action.
4. Adjacent Development: The following developments are pending or underway in the vicinity of
the site:
Goddard Creek Townhomes/
MPP19-0021/ H-2019-0068
• Goddard Creek Subdivision is an 82 self -storage facility located directly west of the site and
was approved by ACHD staff in February 2017.
5. Transit: Transit services are not available to serve this site.
6. Pathway Crossings: United States Access Board R304.5.1.2 Shared Use Paths. In shared use
paths, the width of curb ramps runs and blended transitions shall be equal to the width of the shared
use path.
AASHTO's Guidelines for the Development of Bicycle Facilities 5.3.5 Other Intersection
Treatments: The opening of a shared use path at the roadway should be at least the same width
as the shared use path itself. If a curb ramp is provided, the ramp should be the full width of the
path, not including any flared sides if utilized.... Detectable warnings should be placed across the
full width of the ramp.
FHWA's "Designing Sidewalks and Trails for Access" (1999) reflected common ADA-related
concepts: Chapter 6, Page 16-6: The width of the ramp should be at least as wide as the average
width of the trail to improve safety for users who will be traveling at various speeds. In addition, the
overall width of the trail should be increased, so the curb ramp can be slightly offset to the side. The
increased width reduces conflict at the intersection by providing more space for users at the bottom
of the ramp.
7. New Center Lane Miles: The proposed development includes 0 centerline miles of new public
road.
8. Impact Fees: There will be an impact fee that is assessed and due prior to issuance of any building
permits. The assessed impact fee will be based on the impact fee ordinance that is in effect at that
time.
9. Capital Improvements Plan (CIP)/ Integrated Five Year Work Plan (IFYWP):
• Linder Road was scheduled in the IFYWP to be widened to 5-lanes from Ustick Road to
McMillan Road and construction was completed in September 2019.
• Ten Mile Road is scheduled in the IFYWP to be widened to 5-lanes from Ustick Road to
Chinden Boulevard in 2020.
• Ten Mile Road and Bridge Numbers 1103 and 2204 are scheduled in the IFYWP to be
replaced/widened in 2020.
• McMillan Road is listed in the CIP to be widened to 3-lanes from Star Road to Meridian Road
(SH 69) between 2031 and 2035.
B. Traffic Findings for Consideration
1. Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate 322 vehicle trips per day; 25
additional vehicle trips per hour in the PM peak hour, based on the Institute of Transportation
Engineers Trip Generation Manual, 10th edition.

May 3, 2017.
C. Findings for Consideration
1. McMillan Road
a. Existing Conditions: McMillan Road is improved with 2-travel lanes and no curb, gutter or
sidewalk abutting the site. There is 62-feet of right-of-way for McMillan Road (34-feet from
centerline).
b. Policy:
Arterial Roadway Policy: District Policy 7205.2.1 states that the developer is responsible for
improving all street frontages adjacent to the site regardless of whether or not access is taken
to all of the adjacent streets.
Master Street Map and Typology Policy: District Policy 7205.5 states that the design of
improvements for arterials shall be in accordance with District standards, including the Master
Street Map and Livable Streets Design Guide. The developer or engineer should contact the
District before starting any design.
Street Section and Right -of Way Width Policy: District Policy 7205.2.1 & 7205.5.2 states
that the standard 3-lane street section shall be 46-feet (back -of -curb to back -of -curb) within 70
feet of right-of-way. This width typically accommodates a single travel lane in each direction, a
continuous center left -turn lane, and bike lanes.
Right -of -Way Dedication: District Policy 7205.2 states that The District will provide
compensation for additional right-of-way dedicated beyond the existing right-of-way along
arterials listed as impact fee eligible in the adopted Capital Improvements Plan using available
impact fee revenue in the Impact Fee Service Area.
No compensation will be provided for right-of-way on an arterial that is not listed as impact fee
eligible in the Capital Improvements Plan.
The District may acquire additional right-of-way beyond the site -related needs to preserve a
corridor for future capacity improvements, as provided in Section 7300.
Sidewalk Policy: District Policy 7205.5.7 requires a concrete sidewalk at least 5-feet wide to
be constructed on both sides of all arterial streets. A parkway strip at least 6-feet wide between
the back -of -curb and street edge of the sidewalk is required to provide increased safety and
protection of pedestrians. Consult the District's planter width policy if trees are to be placed
within the parkway strip. Sidewalks constructed next to the back -of -curb shall be a minimum of
7-feet wide.
Detached sidewalks are encouraged and should be parallel to the adjacent roadway.
Meandering sidewalks are discouraged.
A permanent right-of-way easement shall be provided if public sidewalks are placed outside of
the dedicated right-of-way. The easement shall encompass the entire area between the right-
of-way line and 2-feet behind the back edge of the sidewalk. Sidewalks shall either be located
wholly within the public right-of-way or wholly within an easement.
3 Goddard Creek Townhomes/
MPP19-0021/ H-2019-0068
Frontage Improvements Policy: District Policy 7205.2.1 states that the developer shall widen
the pavement to a minimum of 17-feet from centerline plus a 3-foot wide gravel shoulder
adjacent to the entire site. Curb, gutter and additional pavement widening may be required
(See Section 7205.5.5).
ACHD Master Street Map: ACHD Policy Section 3111.1 requires the Master Street Map
(MSM) guide the right-of-way acquisition, arterial street requirements, and specific roadway
features required through development. This segment of McMillan Road is designated in the
MSM as a Residential Arterial with 3-lanes and on -street bike lanes, a 46-foot street section
within 74-feet of right-of-way.
Access Points Policy: District Policy 7205.4.1 states that all access points associated with
development applications shall be determined in accordance with the policies in this section
and Section 7202. Access points shall be reviewed only for a development application that is
being considered by the lead land use agency. Approved access points may be relocated
and/or restricted in the future if the land use intensifies, changes, or the property redevelops.
Access Policy: District policy 7205.4.7 states that direct access to principal arterials is typically
prohibited. If a property has frontage on more than one street, access shall be taken from the
street having the lesser functional classification. If it is necessary to take access to the higher
classified street due to a lack of frontage, the minimum allowable spacing shall be based on
Table 1 b under District policy 7205.4.7, unless a waiver for the access point has been approved
by the District Commission. Driveways, when approved on a principal arterial shall operate as
a right-in/right-out only, and the District will require the construction of a raised median to restrict
the left turning movements.
c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is not proposing any improvements to McMillan Road
abutting the site.
The applicant is proposing to construct a 25-foot wide emergency only access with bollards onto
McMillan Road located 416-feet west of Goddard Creek Way (measured centerline -to -
centerline).
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: This site (depicted below) was previously reviewed by
ACHD as Goddard Creek Subdivision and the following improvements were required as part of
that application:
• Dedicate additional right-of-way to total 38-feet from centerline abutting the site;
• Widen the pavement to 17-feet from centerline on McMillan Road with a 3-foot gravel
shoulder abutting the site; and
• Construct 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk abutting the site.
4 Goddard Creek Townhomes/
MPP19-0021/ H-2019-0068
Therefore, the applicant is not required to improve McMillan Road abutting the site as part of
this application.
The applicant's proposal to construct a 20-foot wide emergency access with bollards from the
site onto McMillan Road is approved. Gates or bollards should be located outside of the right-
of-way and installed as determined by Meridian Fire Department.
2. Goddard Creek Way
a. Existing Conditions: Goddard Creek Way is improved with 2-travel lanes, vertical curb, gutter,
and 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk and a landscape spite strip abutting the site. There
is 60 to 50-feet of right-of-way for Goddard Creek Way (25-feet from centerline).
b. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The landscape spite strip abutting the site's east
property line on Goddard Creek Way is owned by the Kelly Creek Homeowner's Association.
Therefore, this site does not have frontage on Goddard Creek Way and the applicant is not
required to make any improvements and will not have any access onto Goddard Creek Way
from the site.
3. Private Driveway
a. Existing Conditions: Apgar Creek Lane is an existing private driveway that intersects Goddard
Creek Way at the site's north property line.
b. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant is proposing to construct all the internal
streets as private with a private drive to intersect Apgar Creek Lane by use of the existing
ingress/egress easement noted on the Selway Apartments Subdivision plat.
4. Tree Planters
Tree Planter Policy: Tree Planter Policy: The District's Tree Planter Policy prohibits all trees in
planters less than 8-feet in width without the installation of root barriers. Class II trees may be
allowed in planters with a minimum width of 8-feet, and Class I and Class III trees may be allowed
in planters with a minimum width of 10-feet.
5. Landscaping
Landscaping Policy: A license agreement is required for all landscaping proposed within ACHD
right-of-way or easement areas. Trees shall be located no closer than 10-feet from all public storm
drain facilities. Landscaping should be designed to eliminate site obstructions in the vision triangle
at intersections. District Policy 5104.3.1 requires a 40-foot vision triangle and a 3-foot height
restriction on all landscaping located at an uncontrolled intersection and a 50-foot offset from stop
signs. Landscape plans are required with the submittal of civil plans and must meet all District
requirements prior to signature of the final plat and/or approval of the civil plans.

Hi Scott
WASD will reverse its opinion to deny if the townhomes are not occupied until Summer 2021.
Owyhee High School will open in August 2021 and will decrease the enrollment at Rocky Mountain High School.
I am including Sonya Allen on this replay so this condition (no townhomes occupied until Summer 2021) may be
considered by City Council.
Thanks
Joe

Subject: Goddard Creek Townhomes - West Ada School Dist. Letter of Denial
Importance: High
WARNING: This email has been received from a source outside of the West Ada School District:
Please only click links and attachments if you are sure they are safe
Mr. Yochum -
With respect to our proposed Goddard Creek Townhome project (see attached vicinity map for location), Would you be
so kind as to elaborate on your reasoning for recommendation of denial?
This specific project is projected to add 35 school age children at build -out. The specific schools are:
- Willow Creek Elementary
- Sawtooth Middle School
- Rocky Mountain High
I am very much aware that West Ada School Dist. is experiencing tremendous growing pains, but you also have several
expansion plans for existing Schools and a few new ones within the next two fiscal years. This is a key concern with my
proposed project. That said, we will not be complete with the project until Fall of 2021- Spring of 2022. This considered,
what are your thoughts regarding our impact and your ability to serve the projected students?
Our Council Hearing it this evening and I would like to speak to them factually regarding your letter.
Thank you and please feel free to call or email anytime.
