Alan,
FYI – see below.
Make sure the 5,100 s.f. green space at the north boundary that also serves as an emergency access is allowed to be grassed (I’m guessing not – if Joe
requires this access, he may not require it). Without this area they likely won’t meet the required 10% open space. Grass-crete isn’t allowed.

Sonya –
Good question on the access. We should ask Joe B. It is my understanding that the access solution is to provide a connection to McDermott and that it
is acceptable for it to “access” into the sub on Achievement.
I will get something to him right away. Thank you,

Yes, this week is our first week back. I’m in the office Mon-Wed and working from home Thurs-Fri. as a regular deal now.
What about this?
If the 5,100 s.f. common area is going to be all grassed is that acceptable for emergency access? If it’s for Fire Dept. emergency access, I’m not
sure they’ll allow that – if so, please check with Joe.

Hello Sonya –
Have you been able to move back to the office/City Hall yet? How is that transition back?
Thank you for the response. We did not intend to resubmit as we were able to provide you with the open space exhibit demonstrating compliance.
We understand that the recommendation for approval would come with a condition that our pre-plat must align and have the same open space. Will
you need a revised submittal to notice the meeting and finish your staff report?
As we currently meet the open space requirement, we do not intend to build the pathway. We understand your thoughts on the strip south of Lot 37
so we re-calculated to check things. If we lose the 2,022 sf for that strip, we are at 55,010 sf total qualified open space. Which puts us at 10.3% with
the subtraction of hwy 16 areas from our total acreage for the subdivision. With the subtraction of McFadden drain area, were at 12.5% qualified
open space.
Please let me know what we need to do to stay on track with the May 21 hearing date. If we need to discuss on the phone let me know what a good
number is to reach you at and we can discuss. Thank you,
principal | landscape architect

This project hasn’t been scheduled yet because I thought you were submitting a revised plat & LP, is that not the case? I did get the revised open
space exhibit you submitted on 4/24.
Questions:
Are you no longer proposing a loop pathway through the common area to the drain and around through the street buffer along future SH-16 to
Street E? If not, you can’t count the strip of landscaping on the south side of Lot 37, Block 2 toward linear open space because it has to have an
access at each end per UDC 11-3G-3B.
If the 5,100 s.f. common area is going to be all grassed is that acceptable for emergency access? If it’s for Fire Dept. emergency access, I’m not
sure they’ll allow that – if so, please check with Joe.
I’m being picky at this end because I want to ensure you have enough qualified open space to meet the minimum UDC standards to result in a
positive staff recommendation for the development.
This project is going to be assigned to Alan Tiefenbach, our new Assoc. Planner.

Matt,
Apologies for the delay in getting back to you on this…the sidewalk either needs to be constructed to comply with the existing DA or you need to apply
for a modification to the DA to remove the requirement.
Thanks,
Sonya

Good Morning Sonya –
Have you had an opportunity to review the information below? If the walk is required we will get it built. The purpose of this request is to ensure we
are being good stewards of the WASD patrons bond dollars.
Thank you,

Hello Sonya –
I really hate to add to your current email burden but we want to keep the discussion live on this topic. We have come to final agreement with ACHD
on off-site intersection improvements and are staring that design work. This sidewalk, in question, will be with these off-site improvements so I need
to know if we are still required to do it. As you can see there are some pretty heavy complications to getting this thing built and it staying in place.
Thanks,
principal | landscape architect

Sonya –
I am reaching out to you regarding the Owyhee HS Development Agreement and the requirement for a sidewalk on N. McDermott Rd. (on the Spriggel
parcel), Item 5.1.10. In our role working for IAG on the Chukar Ridge Sub (Spriggel) pre-plat, we have been in close contact with ITD regarding the
planned Highway 16 project. They have provided us with some information that I think affects our ability to install the walk in question. As you can see
on the attached, approved ROW plans, topo survey, and the email below the walk on the west side of McDermott is problematic. We are struggling to
determine an alignment of the walk that allows for the planned ACHD road and the ITD ROW. Based on the email from David Baker with Jacobs, ACHD
does not intend to have a sidewalk on the west side of McDermott.
I would like to ask for your input on this item and guidance on how you think we can resolve the city required walk. Thank you,
David Baker Email: 3.3.2020
Matthew,
I’ve attached below a typical section of McDermott that would be applicable along the frontage of the Spriggel parcel. This TS was developed through
our coordination with ACHD. We are currently working on a Cooperative Agreement with ACHD that will detail, among other items, what will happen to
McDermott Road along the SH-16 corridor. The current path forward is that ITD is purchasing the prescriptive ROW to McDermott C/L and intends to
deed back 30’ to ACHD (west side only). Their current prescriptive at this location is 25’ (west of McDermott C/L).
As you can see from the TS, a rural section with drainage swale is anticipated. Our understanding is that ACHD does not intend a sidewalk on the west
side of McDermott.
Regarding the Noble Lateral, it is currently piped at this location and I believe that the pipe is located immediately outside what would be the new 30’
west ROW, however, we do not have a surveyed location of the pipe. Do you have this information?
PAC is acronym for Purchased Access Control. This line limits access to SH-16 except at designated points of access such as Franklin Rd, Ustick Rd, US
20/26 & SH-44. There may or may not be a fence along the PAC line – that is a final design decision, however our preliminary plans are currently not
showing a fence between McDermott and SH-16 at this location.
