PZ - Revised Preliminary Plat and Narrative km E N G I N E E R I N G August 12,2020 Project No.: 18-140 Ms.Sonya Allen City of Meridian Community Development Department 33 E. Broadway Ave.,Ste. 102 Meridian, ID 83642 RE: Prescott Ridge Subdivision—Meridian,ID Preliminary Plat Revision Narrative Dear Ms.Allen: Our proposed preliminary plat has been updated to reflect numerous Site-Specific Conditions contained in ACHD's staff report and to enlarge lot sizes along our southern boundary. Revisions made to the preliminary plat have impacted information regarding lot sizes, density, and open space originally submitted with our application.The proposed preliminary plat still exceeds City Code requirements.A table with updated statistics is included in the revised preliminary plat for your review. ACHD's Staff Report(MPP19-0026) We have made revisions based on Site-Specific Conditions contained in ACHD's staff report. A summary of notable conditions and associated changes is included below to assist in review of the revised preliminary plat. 6. Construct Rustic Oak Way north of the West Ada School District site as a 46 foot wide collector roadway with vertical curb and gutter on both sides. Locate the back of curb on the west side of Rustic Oak Way a minimum of 2 feet from the west property line. Begin to taper Rustic Oak Way down to a 2- lane street section south of the West Ada School District site. 7. Construct a minimum of 7-foot wide(10 foot wide is acceptable)attached concrete sidewalk on the east side of Rustic Oak Way north of the West Ada School District site. 8. Dedicate the full width(approximately 60 feet)of parcel S0428120640 as right-of-way for Rustic Oak Way. The right-of-way dedicated for Levi Lane/Rustic Oak Way is depicted at 60'as required by the above condition. This condition required that we include 10 additional feet of pavement within the roadway,which necessitated the relocation of the 10' multi-use pathway as there was not enough space within the width of the property abutting Chinden. We have coordinated with Kim in the Parks and Recreation Department to find a suitable location.The revised placement will extend the pathway from north to south between the proposed medical campus and Peregrine Heights on the west side of the property and east to west between the medical campus and proposed townhome units.This new location is depicted on the revised plat.We believe this will be an improved location, will help to integrate the commercial portion with adjacent residential and will provide a natural buffer for existing residential properties. Correspondence with Kim is attached for reference. A 7' attached concrete sidewalk is now planned adjacent to Rustic Oak Way,as conditioned by ACHD. 9233 West State street • Boise, Idaho 83714 • 208.639.6939 • kmengllp.com 10. Dedicate right-of-way along the south side of the West Ada School District site. The right-of-way should be 12 feet wide and extend from Rustic Oak Way to the site's east property line to allow for sidewalk to be constructed along the future entrance road to the school site. We have shifted the West Ada School District parcel 12'to the south to accommodate this condition.As a result, lot lines and roadways within Blocks 12 and 14 were shifted to accommodate the extra space needed.All lots meet R-8 Dimensional Standards and roadways meet ACHD requirements. Revisions to Lots In an effort to provide a transition in lot sizes with the neighboring property to the south we have revised the number and size of lots located at the southern part of the site and adjacent to the central open space area. Overall,we have omitted 4 building lots,which has allowed us to increase the frontage and total square footage of lots within these areas. Originally, we had planned to keep the multi-family portion of this project on one lot. However, after careful consideration we have decided to include building lots within that portion of the project to provide the option for separate ownership of units.We have divided the multi-family area into 14 building lots,with the driveway placed in an easement.As required by City Code,we will submit a subsequent Conditional Use Permit application for this phase of the project in which we will further detail the development. Single-Family Attached Lots As permitted in the R-8 zoning district and as indicated in our application, Proposed Single-Family we are proposing single-family attached lots in key locations to provide a ! Attached Lots variety of housing options near the future school site and at the northwest Block i Lot(s) part of the subdivision.We have expanded the area in which single-family --------------------------------------------------------- attached homes could be placed to include buildable lots within Block 13 1 9-29 and have indicated such on the revised plat. 12 26-36 ---------------------------- ----------------------------� Placement will provide a transition housing type between the proposed 13 2-17 ---------- --------- multi-family units and single-family detached units.The exact lot and block 14 ! 2-2-- numbers may change with future platting, but proposed areas will be !----------------------------w- consistent.To summarize our request,buildable lots within blocks that could develop into single-family attached units are summarized above.

I think this might actually be a better pedestrian experience. So many of our pathways [quite reasonably] default to the mid-mile. The more we can get mileage through green spaces and away from cars and major roadways,the better!

Hi Kim, That's great news,thank you! As we were talking about it I was wondering why we didn't go that direction initially anyway, I think it's a great place to put the path and it'll benefit existing residents more that way too & We are planning a frontage road within the medical campus parallel to Chinden—see a rough sketch attached here, the frontage road is pink.We're revising our original site plan to include that road and some other things Planning wanted to see. We were originally planning a micropathway within the 30' landscape buffer, so we'll just switch it out for the 10' path.The frontage road will be located to the south of Chinden, I think we would put the 10' pathway along the south part of that road to the west of the site and bring it up to Chinden from there. I do agree, we'll need to make sure pedestrian/vehicular traffic doesn't conflict. We'll be coming in with a CUP for the medical campus, maybe that could be a condition of approval for that application to make sure it's taken care of at CZC and Design Review level? Thanks for your help on this!!

Like the idea of a pathway in a buffer(and AS a buffer/link)! 1 I'm a little curious about what's happening along Chinden. You were talking about an extra lane, I think? Is there any kind of frontage road between the pathway and the project? If there are ped/vehicle conflicts I'm sure we can mitigate for them. Definitely ok to move forward with this. Thanks, Kim From: Stephanie Leonard <sleonard@kmengllp.com> Sent:Wednesday,July 29, 2020 4:25 PM To: Kimberly Warren <kwarren@meridiancity.org> Subject: 10' multi-use pathway- Prescott Ridge Hi Kim! Hope you're having a good week so far.After our conversation last week we brainstormed some ideas to get the 10' multi-use pathway from Chinden to the south within our development. I referred back to a sketch that you gave us at one of our pre-apps and think the option you noted on the west would actually work perfectly.The pathway in that location would provide integration with the medical campus and existing/proposed residential components while also providing a physical barrier for the homes on Serenity Lane. We're also planning a 30' landscape buffer in that area which would be a great place to locate the 10' multi-use pathway.Would it be okay to modify our plan to include the 10' pathway in that location, adjacent to Chinden and connecting with a 7' sidewalk on Levi Ln/Rustic Oak Way?We would connect the pathway on the south to Rustic Oak Way and extend to the south and to the east. See rough sketch of 10' multi-use pathway in red and 7' sidewalk in yellow. It looks like this plan would coincide well with your initial thoughts and what the pathways plan shows too. Let me know what you think and thanks for your help!! 2 nw.arsrmv,e, vioNrr4 HAP:S"=1,cW + r - ! •r I y I 1 I J I is ilhLl 1 t y� 11 L5 I+ Y 4PE r' I ID I +++ F LE 1 1 t5 i.iF 21L J ID.I I} 1! ,!lrF,l�.
