Meridian, Idaho 83642
RE: Teakwood Place Subdivision, Annexation, Rezoning and Preliminary Plat
Dear Planning and Zoning Commissioners,
We are requesting the annexation and rezoning of one parcel. This parcel is within the impact
area and contiguous with city bounds on the north, south and west. We also request to rezone the
parcel from Ada County's RUT zone to the city's R-8 zone. The R-8 zoning is compatible with
the city's comprehensive plan and matches the adjacent subdivisions on the north(Sageland
Subdivision) and west(Tradewinds Subdivision).
We are also requesting Preliminary Plat approval of Teakwood Place Subdivision. Teakwood
Place Subdivision is an infill subdivision of approximately 7.35 acres within the proposed R-8
zone. Teakwood Place's preliminary plat divides 7.35 acres into a total of 26 lots, 22 residential
lots and 4 common lots. This density equates to 2.99 units/acre. With this development there is
approximately 12.45% of open space provided with 10.08%qualified per UDC requirement.
The existing home is occupied by the owner of the acreage and it is their desire to continue to
occupy the home, accessory structures and maintain the existing entrance off of Victory Road.
Due to the existing elevation difference, slope and utilities within ACHD's easement we are
requesting that the improvements along Victory Road be made a part of a development
agreement to be placed when the existing homeowners leave their home. Victory Road has
vertical curb and gutter at its full width with no sidewalk for approximately 2,700 feet to the east
and 1,200 feet to the west. We are also requesting that the desired muti-use pathway be added to
the same agreement. Currently this would be a pathway to nowhere and appears that it will
remain such well into the future. Allowing this pathway to be placed later relieves the city of a
possible crime area, and maintenance of a pathway to nowhere. The existing home will connect
to city utility services, otherwise.
This subdivision will be served by city water and sewer through extension of city infrastructure.
Pressurized irrigation will be provided by Nampa&Meridian Irrigation District by connecting to
existing infrastructure and upgrading Pump Station#50 in Tuscany Lakes Subdivision. All
infrastructure will be installed in accordance with the city's policy prior to signature of the final
plat.

ACHD does not require any additional right-of-way for E. Victory Road or a traffic impact study
for this development.
We respectfully request the approval of the annexation, rezoning and preliminary plat for
Teakwood Place Subdivision. Teakwood Place should prove to be a complimentary addition to
its neighboring subdivisions while adding to the city's infrastructure and provide future
interconnectivity.
Kind Regards,
