V. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANALYSIS
LAND USE: This property is designated Low Density Residential(LDR)on the Future Land Use Map
(FLUM)in the Comprehensive Plan. The LDR designation allows for the development of single-family
homes on large and estate lots at gross densities of three(3)dwelling units or less per acre.
There is an existing City of Meridian sewer easement within the subject annexation area;the Applicant
proposes is not proposing any new development within this area.
Goals,Objectives,&Action Items: Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable
to this application and apply to the proposed use of this property(staff analysis in italics):
• "Preserve existing public rights-of-way and other easements for future pathways and accessways,
particularly along powerline and utility corridors, railway corridors, and waterway or irrigation
corridors."(4.04.02B)
Annexation of the land where an existing City of Meridian sewer easement is located and requirement
ofa Development Agreement with a provision that restricts uses other than that of the sewer easement
and emergency access easement will ensure preservation of this easement and access.
• "Annex lands into the corporate boundaries of the City only when the annexation proposal conforms
to the City's vision and the necessary extension of public services and infrastructure is provided."
(3.03.03)
The proposed annexation area incorporates an existing City of Meridian sewer easement.
VI. STAFF ANALYSIS
A. ANNEXATION&ZONING
The Applicant proposes to annex 0.60 of an acre of land into the City with an R-4 (Medium Low-
Density Residential)zoning district consistent with the FLUM designation of LDR. The annexation area
is a portion of Lot 2,Block 1, Spurwing Subdivision,which was developed in Ada County. Typically,
the City does not annex a portion of a parcel or lot;however,the City Attorney and the Planning
Page 4
Page 167
Item#9.
Manager has deemed it appropriate in this case due to the County's denial of the site modification and
the City's requirement for an access to maintain the public utility;therefore, Staff is in support of the
request.
The property proposed to be annexed is developed as part of the Spurwing golf course and contains a 20-
foot wide Meridian sanitary sewer easement(Inst. #112130813)with a 12-inch sewer main line and an
8-inch Suez water main line.An emergency vehicle access easement is proposed in this area to satisfy
the Fire Department's requirement for secondary emergency vehicle access to Olivetree at Spurwing
Subdivision. Emergency vehicle access for this subdivision was previously planned via W. Chinden
Blvd. at the Chinden/Ten Mile Rd. intersection; however, since the time the preliminary plat was
approved,improvements have been made to the intersection which necessite an alternate location for
emergency access. For this reason, emergency access is proposed where the sewer easement lies. Public
access will be restricted through the use of gates at each entrance with a knox box as required by the Fire
Department in Section X.C. This road will also provide access to any manholes within the sewer
easement area in accord with City requirements and access to the Suez water lines as desired.
The subject property is non-buildable as it isn't a legal parcel/lot eligible for a building permit and
doesn't meet the minimum dimensional standards of the R-4 district.
A more detailed decription of the history of this request is included in the Applicant's narrative letter
submitted with this application:
https:llweblink.meridiancioy.orglWebLinkIDocView.aspx?id=193513&dbid=0&repo=MeridianCiU
The proposed annexation area is contiguous to City annexed property and is within the Area of City
Impact Boundary. A legal description and exhibit map for the annexation area is included in Section
VIII.A.
The City may require a development agreement(DA)in conjunction with an annexation pursuant to
Idaho Code section 67-6511A. To ensure the site develops as proposed with this application,Staff
recommends a DA is required that limits development to that proposed with this application(see
provision in Section IX.A).
The Olivetree at Spurwing subdivision cannot develop without an approved secondary emergency access
which the Applicant's proposal provides. If Council denies the Applicant's request, an alternate
emergency vehicle access will be required for any development over 30 building lots in Olivetree at
Spurwing Subdivision; or,the applicant has the option to fire sprinkler additional homes beyond the 30.
NOTE: The City is currently monitoring the number of homes for this development and the number of
building permits issued is approaching the maximum of 30 until the emergency access is approved and
constructed per the City's requirments.
VII, DECISION
A. Staff:
Staff recommends approval of the proposed Annexation&Zoning with the requirement of a
Development Agreement per the provisions in Section IX in accord with the Findings in Section X.
B. The Meridian Planning&Zoning Commission heard these items on October 15,2020. At the
public hearing,the Commission moved to recommend approval of the subject AZ request.

2. Key issue(s) testimony
a. Concern pertaining to construction of a road&public access between Balata Ct. in
Spurwing Subdivision&N. Crantini Way in Olivetree at Spurwing Subdivision;
b. Preference for an emergency access for the Fire Dept. to be provided from Chinden
Blvd. at the Ten Mile Rd. intersection rather than in the location proposed;
c. Negative impact on adjacent properties where access road is proposed due to public use.
3. Key issue(s)of discussion by Commission:
a. Necessity for a road for access to sewer manholes/maintenance of City infrastructure;
b. Possibility of the Applicant providing landscapingdjacent to the abutting residential
properties to screen the access road and properties from users of the access road;
c. Possibility of installing signage at the gates prohibiting public access;
d. Question as to whether or not an emergency access is still feasible in the location
originally approved at the intersection of Chinden Blvd./Ten Mile Rd.
4. Commission change(s)to Staff recommendation:
a. Public Works' should provide a description of what preference they have for surface
treatment of the access road between the two manholes(see Section VIII.C);
b. The Applicant should work with adjacent homeowners to see what mitigation could be
provided to lessen impacts from the road(see landscape plan in Section VIII.B);
c. The Applicant should try to get a letter from ITD stating they won't allow access as
originallyapproved via Chinden Blvd. without an easement from the Wagner's[a letter
has been submitted from ITD (see link in Section IX.H)—ITD will only allow a single-
approach for safety reasons and is not opposed to an approach that serves both the
Wagner farm parcel and the emergency access with the conditions noted in the letter.
However, Mr. Wainer stated at the last hearing that he's not interested in granting an
easement for a shared driveway at this time
d. Add requirement for signs eg t�provided prohibiting public access to the gated area
(see provision#A.lb in Section IX).
5. Outstandingissue(s)ssue(s) for City Council:
a. None
C. The Meridian Citv Council heard this item on December 15,2020. At the public hearing,the
Council moved to continue the subject AZ request to the January 26,2021 hearing in order for

their property and the access road: and for Staff to clarify emergency access options via Chinden
Blvd. with ITD. The City Council heard this item again on January 26,2021 and moved to
approve the requested annexation.

sprinklers in lieu of the provision of a secondary emergency access road as proposed:
c. Request for the Council to deny the request for annexation and remove the access road.

most affected by the access road.
4. City Council change(s)to Commission recommendation.
