PZ - Narrative SKYBREAK . � d I' Skybreak Neighborhood Narrative Attached for your review and favorable consideration are the applications for the Skybreak Neighborhood located south of Lake Hazel on the east side of Eagle Road. We respectfully request approval of our Annexation and Zoning, Development Agreement and Preliminary Plat applications. For design and planning purposes, our design team used the Meridian City Pre-Application Meetings, Neighborhood Meetings,the Comprehensive Plan, and Zoning Code as the policy basis for the design of the Skybreak Community. We have a thoughtfully designed single-family residential community on 80 acres that will add to the housing mix within the surrounding neighborhoods and will add diversity to Meridian's available housing opportunities. A portion of the neighborhood will be gated to create a more intimate feel and sense of place within the neighborhood. Homeowners will have access to on-site amenities such as well-appointed parks, a golf cart path that connects to the Boise Ranch Golf Course and access to the playgrounds,walking pathways and attractive landscaping. Off-site amenities include access to Eagle and Lake Hazel Roads, retail and commercial businesses along the Highway 69 Corridor.This Project will provide well-appointed homes on a property that will utilize existing utilities and roads that have been planned for developments in this area.

This property is designated Medium Density Residential (MDR) on the future land use map. The Skybreak Neighborhood will provide a mix of single-family homes, ranging in home size and lot area. This will achieve a perfect mix of densities for the area, that will transition between the future Medium-High Density Residential (MHDR) on the north along Lake Hazel Road and the existing Low-Density County Subdivision Vantage Point to the south. Residents of Skybreak will enjoy a walkable/bikeable community that is within a short drive to shopping, healthcare services, employment opportunities and regional transportation arteries. The Boise Ranch Golf Course is located on the east property boundary of the Skybreak Neighborhood. A cart path will provide easy access for the residents to the golf course and course amenities. In our preapplication meetings it was determined that the Skybreak Neighborhood is within the Mayor's Priority Growth Area and that City Services are available to serve the project. YMCA. P Lake Hazel Skybreak Discovery Park pC Boise Ranch a) Golf Course w Skybreak—Narrative 6/24/2020 Page 2 -11 SKYBREAK Exhibit B - Site Plan The Skybreak Neighborhood will consist of 353 single-family residential homes. Skybreak will provide much needed housing options for future residents who are looking for a single level home and highly amenitized community that is designed for active adult living. Additional roof tops in this quickly developing area of Meridian will help support the future commercial and retail uses along Eagle Road, Lake Hazel and Meridian Road (HWY 69). Pathways and sidewalks within the development will encourage walkability through the community as well as along regional pathways that connect to the neighborhood on the east and west sides. Parks and amenities will be distributed throughout the development, generously landscaped boulevards and endcaps will welcome residents home and create a sense of place and feeling of community. F _ d I r, Traditional Neighborhood Gated Community GATED COMMUNITY A portion of the Skybreak Community will be gated and utilize private streets to create a more intimate neighborhood setting within the larger Skybreak Community.The gates will not be used as a pedestrian barrier as sidewalks and pathways will not be gated. Private streets will provide both vehicular and pedestrian travel ways that will create the intimate feel that our buyers are looking for.Through our extensive marketing and polling of our past and future homeowners we have found that there is a demographic of senior home buyers that prefer the security that a gated community can provide. The larger view lots located on the ridge will provide opportunities for large custom homes with outstanding views of the Boise Foothills.This would provide for the "CEO Type" homes that we have heard the City asking for in the Comprehensive Plan hearings over the last year. Skybreak—Narrative 6/24/2020 Page 3 -11 SKYBREAK Exhibit C — Community Amenities PROJECT AMENITIES As the developer we have researched and interviewed past homeowners and used the city ordinances as a guide to plan the most productive amenities for this neighborhood.

There will be a variety of different home options in varying sizes and price points. The Skybreak Community will have a variety of housing types for active adults that will be located in the following neighborhood areas Gated, Non-Gated, Custom Homes, and Rim View Lots (CEO Housing). The Gated Community will feature private streets that will be walkable and provide for a close intimate neighborhood feel. Custom Home sites will add to the diversity of homes within the gated community and large Rim View lots will provide the "CEO Type Housing" that we have heard City Leaders Requesting. The Non-gated neighborhood will also provide a variety of homes that will be single story homes near walking paths and highly amenitized open spaces. All homes will have access via the walking and cart paths to the Boise Ranch Golf Course.

The Skybreak Neighborhood has a proposed single-family residential density of 4.4 DU/AC. The Meridian Comprehensive plan calls for 3 to 8 units per acre in the medium density designation. The proposed density is on the lower end of the density range allowed within the comprehensive plan. fr-- \ �; I I I lii +— - I G — ------------ — — ---------- ---------- The Southeast Meridian Area has had a considerable of public and private investment over the last decade. With the large amount of infrastructure investment in this area, the proximity to schools, regional parks and services the Skybreak Neighborhood will be a perfect addition to the City of Meridian Skybreak—Narrative 6/24/2020 Page 15 -11 SKYBREAK Exhibit H — Transportation The planned widening of Eagle Road and Lake Hazel Road is an integral part of the transportation network for the Southeast Meridian Area. The road widening and intersection improvement projects shown on the map below will be under construction just as the first homes begin to be occupied in the Skybreak neighborhood in early 2022. With completion of the majority of the transportation improvements in 2023. It is projected that less than 40 homes will be occupied by the time that all of the Eagle Road � Ltd k.a .z s improvements are f 4 +�� — completed. Traffic planning in this AL W; t 0 . +� area has already _ - - - considered the {w development of the �' � Skybreak Property at the housing densities that have been proposed with this A project. For this � reason, ACHD did not # require a full traffic study to be completed. A traffic trip i generation study was completed and approved by ACHD Staff.

Due to this fact it is anticipated to have low impact to schools due to low numbers of school-age children in this neighborhood. The few students who will live in Skybreak Community will attend Silver Sage Elementary which is currently under capacity. Skybreak is also in the Lake Hazel Middle School and the Mountain View High School Boundaries. The West Ada School District just completed an expansion on Mountain View High School and are currently adding on to Mary McPherson Elementary to increase student capacity South of the Freeway. The district is also working on a new Master Plan that will be available shortly, this plan will incorporate both the current growth and projected growth in the area. It is interesting to note that the Skybreak Neighborhood sits on the boundary between the West Ada School, District and the Kuna School District. The property directly south of Skybreak is in the Kuna School District. This means that this project is the last property to the south that will attend the West Ada School District. EMERGENCY RESPONSE TIMES In discussions with Joe Bongiorno the City of Meridian Fire Marshal and review of the City Priority Growth Area Map it has been determined that the Skybreak Neighborhood is within the emergency response time goals for the fire department and other first responders and is also located within the priority growth area. When the planned fire station near Discovery Park is constructed this neighborhood will be less than a mile from first responders. UTILITIES Municipal water and sewer mains are available and of adequate size to serve the Skybreak Neighborhood in Eagle Road adjacent to the proposed project. Water and sewer mains will be extended to and through the Skybreak Neighborhood at the cost of the developer. Dry Utilities such as electrical power, natural gas, telecom and cable are also available. Skybreak—Narrative 6/24/2020 Page 18 0 SKYBREAK Exhibit K — Parking Plan The Skybreak Neighborhood will meet or exceed all of the requirements of the City of Meridian's Code for off-street parking. All homes within the neighborhood will have a minimum of a two (2) car garage and a driveway that will accommodate an additional two (2) parking spaces, for a total of four (4) off- street parking spaces. As illustrated below, an additional 334 on-street parking spaces will be available to for use by the residence. %1 it • - � - m i• - _ - . m � II .. ;�: •`-r-.'.,.....4_ '.

As the developer of the Skybreak Community we have had numerous meetings with the adjacent southern neighbors (Vantage Point Subdivision) to get an idea of what they would like to have for a transition to their properties. We have incorporated the following changes into our original plan after receiving the neighbor's concerns and comments: 1. We increased the size of the lots that abut the Vantage Point Neighborhood to be a minimum of acre in size. 2. The neighbors did not want a pedestrian pathway along their northern border as we had originally designed. We adjusted our plan and moved the pathway to the north and decided to bring it through Skybreak instead of along the border as you can see with the blue line below. 3. Along the other Vantage Point lots adjacent to the southern border of Skybreak we have placed a large one acre open park area, berming and attractive landscaping to create a buffer between the existing lots and our future homes.
