COMMUNITY INVOCATION Simison: Our next item on the agenda is the community invocation, which tonight will be delivered by Pastor Tim Pusey with the Valley Shepherd Church of the Nazarene. If you all would join us in this -- in the community invocation or take this as a moment of silence. Pastor. Pusey: Heavenly Father, we call on you tonight in behalf of our community and we thank you for the many ways in which you have blessed the community of Meridian. We find it such a -- such a blessing and a privilege to be a part of this community and we thank you, Lord, for the good people who serve our community in lots of different ways. Tonight I -- I pray for our Mayor. I have reflected so many times of how he came into office in one of the most challenging seasons really in my lifetime and thank you for the way you have helped him and our City Council and our other leaders. Thank you now for -- for our new police and fire chiefs, Chief Basterrechea and for Chief Blume. We pray, Lord, that you would be with them and all who serve with them and all of our first responders and the people who serve in this building, work behind the scenes. Lord, I pray for our City Page 15 Meridian City Council Item#2. April 27,2021 Page 2 of 24 Council tonight. I thank you for these who serve. I think in so many ways it's probably a thankless job, but I thank you for the interest in our community, the passion for our community they bring to the table and their willingness to serve in this way and, Lord, I pray wisdom and guidance for them tonight as they deal with various issues and, Lord, may the -- may the conversations and the decisions that are made reflect godly wisdom and wisdom that -- wisdom that comes from you. Lord, I pray that you would help us to ever be mindful of those in our community who are struggling just to have their basic needs met and, again, we -- we thank you for the privilege of living in this community and we look forward to what you are going to do in the days and the years ahead.

Bernt: We do have an item, Item 5, that the applicant has asked to be continued, but in the interest of -- of public testimony we are going to leave it open, just in case there is folks in the audience that would like to offer some testimony. So, with that said I move that we adopt the agenda as presented. Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor, I second the motion. Simison: I have a motion and a second to adopt the agenda as published. Is there any discussion? If not, all in favor signify by saying aye. Opposed nay. The ayes have it and the item is agreed to. The agenda is adopted. MOTION CARRIED: ALLAYES. PUBLIC FORUM — Future Meeting Topics Simison: Mr. Clerk, do we have anyone signed up under public forum? Johnson: Mr. Mayor, not for that topic. PROCLAMATIONS [Action Item] 1. Denim Day for Sexual Assault Awareness Month Simison: Okay. The next item will be a proclamation, which is Denim Day for Sexual Assault Awareness Month. I'm going to ask Bee Black, Julie Eng, Chris Davis and Becky McGuire to join our city Council President Treg Bernt at the podium to read -- for the Page 16 Meridian City Council Item#2. April 27,2021 Page 3 of 24 reading of a proclamation. Bernt: Thank you. Very honored to read this proclamation this evening. I think the reason why is because I'm the only guy up here who is wearing jeans and so -- thank you. Thanks. But very honored to do this. So, thank you, Mayor, for that. I thank you for the --for the opportunity to have you guys here, the Women and Children's Alliance, to accept this proclamation. So, whereas the United States government has declared April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month and the Women and Children's Alliance has declared April 28th, 2021, as Denim Day and whereas both events are intended to draw attention to the fact that rape and sexual assault remains a serious issue in our society and whereas Sexual Assault Awareness Month and Denim Day were also instituted to call attention to misconceptions and misinformation about rape and sexual assault and the problem that many in society remain disturbingly uninformed with respect -- with respect to issues of assault and forcible rape and whereas with proper education on the matter there is compelling evidence that we can successfully reduce incidents of this alarming psychologically damaging crime and whereas the City of Meridian is an important partner in the Women and Children's Alliance efforts to educate our community about the true impact of rape and sexual assault, therefore, I, Council President Treg Bernt, on behalf of Mayor Robert E. Simison, do hereby proclaim April 28, 2021, is Denim Day for Sexual Assault Awareness Month in the City of Meridian, encourage all citizens to speak out against sexual assault and support local efforts to provide help and healing to victims of these crimes. Thank you. Black: So, I'm Dee Black and I have had the privilege of being the CEO at the WCA for the last six -- 13 years and I just am so honored and privileged that we are able to stand here tonight with your Mayor and with your City Council and have this proclamation read. Raising awareness is what Denim Day is all about. Raising awareness around how insidious and how damaging sexual assault is in our community. As a service provider to anyone in your community who had suffered that trauma, we are ready, willing, and able to assist and so really invite you to, please, learn more about Denim Day, about the origins -- origins of it and to do just like the Council President is doing, wear denim tomorrow if you are comfortable doing so. Thank you. Davis: I will really quickly -- on behalf of the Council and the Mayor and all of your police force and everyone else who has reached out to engage with us recently, I want to say thank you. I am a citizen of the city of -- or the town of Meridian city -- the big growing town. I actually just live right over the bridge and it took me like 20 minutes to get here. Couldn't believe it. It took me longer to get from downtown Boise. But I really appreciate the efforts to let members of this community know that the WCA is here for them, because the WCA is a free resource for anyone who might be listening now or you might know someone who is suffering from the trauma of sexual assault, because it -- it can have a lifelong impact and I am guaranteeing that you probably do know someone. If you don't know someone now you will and if it's not the WCA there are lots of other resources, but just know that that can have a lifelong impact, whether it's a child or a young adult, or a young man or a woman or someone who is in a relationship when it happens. Being believed and just having someone offer resources and, then, reaching out to those that Page 17 Meridian City Council Item#2. April 27,2021 Page 4 of 24 have that knowledge to offer that deeper help can mean so much and can make such a difference to the rest of that individual's life and their family and everybody else who touches them. So, I appreciate being here as a member of this community and I'm really excited about the more -- the deeper opportunities and relationships that we could have. So, reach out to us. We have got a 24 hour hotline and our website and we would love to be here for you. But on this special day I think it's really great. Tomorrow is Denim Day. Wear your denim. If you are on social media throw your picture out there and tag us and we will be sharing all day long. This is an international event and millions of people across the U.S. tomorrow will be joining you in Meridian, Idaho, tomorrow. The mayor of Boise will also be making a proclamation, so that is hundreds of thousands of people and those two together and we hope each year will be making it bigger. So, we are so excited to be here tonight and so we are so grateful for you for making this proclamation. Thank you. Strader: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council Woman Strader. Strader: Maybe just a quick comment that I know we sometimes reach a bigger audience and if people need help, their 24 hour sexual assault hotline is 208-345-7273 and their domestic abuse hotline is 208-343-7025. Simison: Thank you, Council Woman Strader, for bringing that to everyone's attention and appreciate you, Council President Bernt, for doing that on my behalf and -- and Bee and everyone with Women and Children's Alliance, it has been great having many opportunities to engage with you over the last several months. There is a Meridian patrol call car out there that has a pin roll on it. It's the newest addition to our fleet in terms of a car that is identified for the -- to all who work the women's and children's lives. I know that's not necessarily tonight, but we have appreciated the strong partnership working together. So, thank you. ACTION ITEMS 2. Final Plat Modification for Lupine Cove (MFP-2021-0004) by Matt Schultz of Schultz Development, Located at 4000 N. McDermott Rd. Simison: Okay. Council, we are ready to move on to our action items for this evening. First item up is the final plat modification for Lupine Cove, MFP-2021-0004. I will turn this over to Alan. Open this public hearing with -- or it's not a public hearing. Open this with Alan for comments. Tiefenbach: Good evening, Council. Can everybody hear me okay? Bernt: Yes, sir. Simison: Yes, we can. Page 18 Meridian City Council Item#2. April 27,2021 Page 5 of 24 Tiefenbach: All right. There we go. There I am. Good evening, Mayor, Members of the Council. This is a modification to a final plat. The property consists of 6.89 acres. It's located at 4,000 North McDermott Road, which is between Ustick and McMillan and it's zoned R-8. So, this final plat for 26 buildable lots on six -- a little more than six and a half acres of land in R-8 was approved by the Council on February 9th. Following the City Council hearing ACHD requested for North Patmos Avenue to be shifted to the east to align with the stub street, which would line up with the subdivision to the north and also increase the offsets on McDermott. So, you can see here this is the original configuration, if you can see my pointer here. It's been shifted -- basically, shifted and slipped a little bit so there was two lots there when we started, there is three lots there now. No increase in lots. However, staff has reviewed the proposed final plat for substantial compliance. Because of the modification only involves a shift in the northern stub to the east and creation of-- of an additional track for an irrigation easement, with no additional lots, staff finds that the proposed final plat is in substantial compliance with the approved preliminary plat request. However, I want to mention that the revised landscape plans did differ slightly from the approved final plat landscape plan in that there were trees that were shown as existing that have been removed. Staff has added a condition that prior to the city engineer's signature on the final plat the applicant shall submit a tree mitigation plan approved by the city arborist that accounts for how qualifying trees that were shown on the approved landscape plan and proposed for removal will be mitigated per UDC 11-3B- 10C and with that I would entertain any motions or any questions. Simison: Thank you, Alan. Council, any questions for Alan? Okay. I see Mr. Schultz is with us. Matt, did you have any comments you would like to add? Schultz: Let's see here. There I am. Matt Schultz, 8421 South Ten Mile. Sorry you guys have to see me twice in one week on a final plat modification. Been doing this for 20 years and this is the only two I have ever had, so -- it's pretty simple. I think it was the day of our hearing we got a comment from ACHD to move that back and also to -- for a couple different reasons that Alan covered and that's pretty much it. We don't need to get any changes of code or -- or doing anything crazy, we just adopted the wrong graphical representation of our final plat. We need to replace it with a new one and we will -- we do agree with staff's conditions on resolving a tree issue where the sewer construction for the high school came down that road 30 feet deep and wiped out a few trees last fall and I think our landscape architect is a little too -- too accurate and we are going to mitigate for those within our site or probably put two or three times the number required along McDermott to accommodate them. So, with that we won't do it again. We will make sure we get these comments back early enough and we don't have to do anymore final plat modifications. So, thank you. Simison: Thank you. Council, any questions? If not, do I have any motions? Perreault: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council Woman Perreault. Page 19 Meridian City Council Item#2. April 27,2021 Page 6 of 24 Perreault: I move that we approve the final plat modification for Lupine Cove, MSP-2021- 0004. Cavener: Second the motion, Mr. Mayor. Strader: Second the motion. Simison: I have a motion and a second. Is there any discussion on the motion? If not, Clerk will call the roll. Roll call: Borton, yea; Cavener, yea; Bernt, yea; Perreault, yea; Hoaglun, yea; Strader, yea. Simison: All ayes. Motion carries and the item is agreed to. Thank you, Mr. Schultz. MOTION CARRIED: ALLAYES. 3. Public Hearing for Meridian South Fire Station & Police Substation (H-2021-0008) by City of Meridian, Located at 2385 E. Lake Hazel A. Request: Annexation of 4 acres of land with the R-8 zoning district to develop the property with a fire station and police station. Simison: Next item is a public hearing for Meridian South Fire Station and Police Substation. H-2020-0008 and I will open this public hearing with staff comments and turn it over to Alan. Tiefenbach: Thank you very much, Members of the Council, Mr. Mayor. This I think is a relatively simple one. The site consists of four acres of land, zoned RUT, located at 2385 East Lake Hazel Road. This is directly adjacent to Discovery Park. This is Discovery Park here. It is just west of Eagle. The property is zoned RUT in Ada county. It's surrounded by R-4, R-15, and R-40. The Comprehensive Plan recommends this property for a medium density residential. This is a --this is a request for an annexation and zoning of four acres of land with the R-8 zone district to develop an 11,600 square foot fire station, an 11,000 square foot police substation building. I have not received any comments from the public. Here is the site plan. So, although much of the -- the land surrounding this cite was zoned and -- and annexation in 2015 as the South Meridian Annexation, the subject property was not included as part of this annexation. As I mentioned, the site is directly adjacent to the new Discovery Park, which is what you see over here. The plans are to develop a fire station, which would be down here to the south, and a police station, which will be up here to the north and these will be done separately. They are going to be on different timelines. The fire station is planned to be constructed -- I believe what they said was 2022. Following annexation, if this were to annex, then, there would be a conditional use which is required for both of these, because these are public or what are called public or quasi-public uses in the R-8 zoning district. The applicant will be required to construct a new north-south collector roadway. So, this does not exist here now, but Page 20 Meridian City Council Item#2. April 27,2021 Page 7 of 24 this is shown on our -- on our master street map and ACHD has already talked to them about this. Right now there is an existing access from the north and there is already access to Discovery Park. The plans are eventually that they will close off those driveways and I believe they will also eventually be closing off the access for Discovery Park off of Lake Hazel. It is intended to get as many accesses off of arterial roads as possible and to connect the accesses onto this new collector road. Although ACHD is requesting that the applicant construct a five foot wide sidewalk along the collect -- the collector, one -- one for the police station and one for the fire station, the -- per the parks department the applicant will be required to construct a ten foot detached pathway along this sidewalk. So, ACHD said five -- five feet, but our trails master plan talks about ten foot pathways along both of these. The applicant is well aware of this. The city is well aware of this and are amenable to this. Just as a point -- a point of information, this collector street and Lake Hazel is eventually planned for signalization. That was something that would be dealt with in the future. The applicant has submitted colored elevations for both of the buildings. Architecture consists of sloped roof buildings with CMU and woodgrain metal panels as primary filled materials and exposed timber frame and metal soffit accents as the accent materials. The proposed architecture will be reviewed in detail with the administrative design review. It must meet the requirements for the City of Meridian architectural standards manual. That would be done with the certificate of zoning compliance. The Meridian Planning Commission heard this item on April 1st. There was no discussion. They moved for approval. And with that I would entertainment any comments or questions. Simison: Thank you, Alan. Council, any questions for staff? All right. Then with that do we have the applicant here? Gladics: I will be speaking as the applicant. My name is Gunnar Gladics and I'm the architect on the project. My address is 11400 Olympus Way, Gig Harbor, Washington. So, I wanted to say to Mr. Mayor and Council, thank you for letting us speak here today and, Alan, thank you, that was a good introduction to the project. As you know the project -- the intent of the project is to -- to help the city increase the level of service to grow in areas of-- of the city and reduce response time for fire and police. The opportunity of this site that is beneficial is the ability to provide police and fire on one site and, hopefully, provide some economical development of the site. The -- as far as our conditions of approval go, I just wanted to say that we agree with all of the conditions that staff has given to us in the report and we will execute those in the next phase of design. Thank you. I will stand for any questions. Simison: Thank you. Council, any questions? And, I'm sorry, my screen just went blank, so if anyone out there is wanting to speak you will have to speak up. Johnson: Mr. Mayor, I had to reboot the cameras in the room, so that's why our screens went this way, but they should be coming back online now. Simison: Okay. We are back. Okay. And we have no one who has signed up, but this is a public hearing. Is there anybody in the audience that would like to provide testimony Page 21 Meridian City Council Item#2. April 27,2021 Page 8 of 24 on this item or anybody online who would like to provide testimony? If so, use the raise your hand feature at the bottom or come up to the podium at this time. Okay. We do have one person who has raised their hand. Mr. Clerk. Johnson: Mr. Mayor, Annette Alonso coming in the meeting now. Simison: Okay. If you could state your name and address for the record, Annette, and be recognized for three minutes. Alonso: This is Annette Alonso at 2204 East Hyper Drive in Meridian. I'm just to the north of this site in BlackRock. Just have a question about when the police substation is going to be built. Will that be built simultaneously with a fire station or is that planned for a future date? Simison: Is it appropriate for me to answer that or -- Gladics: The applicant could answer that. Simison: Would the applicant like to answer or would they like me to try to answer that? Gladics: I can -- I can give some information on -- on the construction. So, through our perspective, what we know to date is that the fire station is the likely candidate to start construction in early 2022. The site development portion of the -- the entire site will be completed, so that all the street trees and all of the required streetscape and landscape will all be completed during the initial phase of construction and that the police precinct, I believe -- and I may need somebody else to speak up to it -- is still under review for -- in budgeting. So, I -- I am unaware of a solid start date for the police substation. But we will be landscaping and creating a pad for that, so that isn't -- it won't be a dirt field or anything like that. We will have landscaping and appropriate city standard -- city standards for that. Simison: And I think to my knowledge, Gunnar, to answer that as best as we can at this point in time is there is a north precinct and a south precinct, both under consideration and -- at this time. So, Annette, hopefully, that answers your question as best we can today. Is there anybody else that wants to provide testimony on this item? If not, are there any last comments? Gladics: None from us. Thank you. Simison: Okay. And, Council, do I have a motion or discussion? Strader: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council Woman Strader. Strader: I move that we close the public hearing. Page 22 Meridian City Council Item#2. April 27,2021 Page 9 of 24 Cavener: Second. Simison: I have a motion and a second to close the public hearing. Is there any discussion? If not, all in favor signify by saying aye. Opposed no. The ayes have it. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Strader: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council Woman Strader. Strader: It seems like it's in the best interest of the city to annex this and we certainly will need a future fire station and police station no matter when we ultimately do them. So, unless there is other discussion, I would put a motion out to approve this. After considering all staff, applicant, and public testimony, I move to approve file number H- 2021-0008 as presented in the staff report for the hearing date of April 27th, 2021. Cavener: Second. Simison: I have a motion and a second to approve this item. Is there any discussion? If not, Clerk will call the roll. Roll call: Borton, yea; Cavener, yea; Bernt, yea; Perreault, yea; Hoaglun, yea; Strader, yea. Simison: All ayes. Motion carries and the item is approved. MOTION CARRIED: ALLAYES. 4. Public Hearing for 1450 W. Ustick Road (H-2021-0016) by Mark Bigelow of MRS Landholdings, Located at 1450 W. Ustick Rd. A. Request: Development Agreement Modification to amend the Sugarman Subdivision Development Agreement (Inst. #2018- 088000) to replace the existing concept plan with the submitted development plan. Simison: Next up is a public hearing for 1450 West Ustick Road, H-2021-0016. We will open this public hearing with staff comments. Dodson: Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Alan, can you close yours up? Thank you. Everybody can see my screen and hear me. Thank you. There we go. First item by me tonight is 1450 West Ustick. The application before you is a development agreement modification. The site consists of four acres of land, currently zoned C-C and located at 1450 West Ustick or the northeast corner of Ustick and Linder. The applicant -- well, first, the site was annexed in 2014 and was short platted for four lots. The plat was never recorded, Page 23 Meridian City Council Item#2. April 27,2021 Page 10 of 24 but the DA and zoning ordinance was and so both are still applicable. The applicant proposes to amend the existing development agreement, which was under the Sugarman Subdivision -- Subdivision. The amendment is to replace the existing concept plan and amend or add new provisions consistent with the new development plan. The existing DA concept plan depicts three buildings, a gas station, a multi-tenant building and a bank with a drive-through. The existing DA restricted the location of the drive-through through the hearing process and stated that it could not be facing the east. The new concept plan depicts eight single story multi-tenant office buildings that --that could contain those uses allowed in the C-C zoning district. The applicant has indicated that they only allow office uses within the development, but staff did not recommend specifically prohibiting any uses. Key points of interest for this site are going to be as follows: The public road stub on the subject site's northern boundary, that was not part of the original approvals and comes from Eddington Commons, which is this. ACHD does not provide action or conditions of approval on development agreement modifications, so they will not act on this. They did not submit anything other than a letter. They will not provide comments or conditions until a future development application is applied for would be a certificate of zoning compliance. I have discussed that in more depth and recommended certain provisions within the staff report. In addition, the Linder access point should be closed with the future CDC application submittal. The need for this access is mitigated as there would be an access through Eddington Commons to the north and, then, out to Linder Road and be a safe access to Linder Road. In addition, the applicant is requesting Council waiver to reduce the required landscape buffers along the northern and eastern property boundaries from the required 25 feet to 15 feet as shown and includes a pedestrian pathway within both buffers on the north and the east. In addition to the buffers themselves, the site plan shows a drive aisle and parking spaces between the rear -- rear yard fences of future homes in Eddington Commons and the proposed commercial buildings. Overall the buildings should be at least 45 feet from the eastern property line and 60 feet from the northern property line, which is ample separation between the uses. The MDA only requires Council action so that's why I did not go to Commission and staff does recommend approval of this subject DA modification. I will stand for questions. Simison: Thank you, Joe. Council, any questions for staff? Bernt: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Bernt. Bernt: Hey, Joe, thank you. Just one question for me. Is there a reason why staff didn't recommend prohibiting uses? Dodson: Only because the -- the C-C zone already has some restrictions in it naturally and with the proposed buffers and the -- the parking spaces, again, being 60 feet and 45 feet we just didn't find it necessary. We think that these tenant spaces alone will kind of limit what uses go in there. Council is more than welcome to. I did list some probable uses within my staff report that are more specific that I think would go here and those are limited compared to what is in the -- our use table and if you want to use that as a condition Page 24 Meridian City Council Item#2. April 27,2021 Page 11 of 24 that's perfectly fine or you can leave it as is. Simison: Council, any additional questions for staff? Okay. Is the applicant with us in person or online this evening? Dodson: Should be online. Simison: Online? Dodson: Oh. Sorry. Simison: Okay. If you would like to come forward and state your name and address for the record. Dodson: Sorry about that, Mark. Bigelow: Mayor and City Council, thank you. My name is Mark Bigelow. I reside at 1716 North Stagno Bello Place in Eagle, Idaho. First of all, Joe's been great. It's been a -- it's been good. There is -- there is some nuance to this -- there were some nuances with Eddington Commons' access and ACHD that we worked through and it's a -- it's been good. It's been really good. We are fully ready to comply with whatever ACHD decides. In fact, any -- any further restrictions as we go through the existing zoning compliance and -- and in terms of uses that we have been marketing and we have reservations and the majority of the reservations, just to give you an idea, are -- is insurance agencies, real estate agencies, real estate appraisal. We do have one nail salon, a couple of counseling and therapy -- Bernt: Mr. Mayor? No breweries or anything like that? Bigelow: No breweries. Bernt: Any restaurants or -- Bigelow: No restaurants. Yeah. We -- Bernt: Super -- super popular places where they will take up a ton of parking. Bigelow: That's exactly -- yeah. No. We -- the -- I don't know if you have the elevations up there, but on the application we showed the elevations. We -- I live in Eagle. We have done this four times previously in the Houston area. They -- we -- we want to be -- we want them to be professional. We want them to be Class A office type -- look modern and add to the -- to the community. With that I will take any questions if you have any. Simison: Okay. Council, any questions for the applicant? Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor? Page 25 Meridian City Council Item#2. April 27,2021 Page 12 of 24 Simison: Councilman Hoaglun. Hoaglun: Just a question mark. I'm just kind of curious, you know, as we are hopefully coming out of this pandemic, but people have spent -- a lot of people a year at home working. Is there still a demand for -- for office space in your opinion? Bigelow: That's a great question. Yes, especially the office space that we build. So, what's unique about us is they are -- they are 12 -- about a little over 1 ,200 square foot units. They are buildings. But each building has four units in it. We actually will -- we will make them a condo. So, they are going to be able to purchase it for themselves and -- and own it and it's -- it's something unique that we have found that people really like and rather than being a big office building of four stories or a skyscraper, people who come in and -- if they need an office space, 1,200 square feet is really good -- good size for them. If they need to buy two they will buy two. Hoaglun: Okay. Thank you, Mark. Bigelow: Yeah. Perreault: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council Woman Perreault. Perreault: So, just a question about the pedestrian access. These -- these types of developments they tend to -- at least I have noticed and specifically really in this north Meridian area there is times of the days that they can get really full if you have a retail shopping, restaurant type of uses, maybe less so with the insurance agents and -- and whatnot. Is there going to be walkability from the north to the south side in between the buildings? Is there going to be some -- some walkways, pedestrian access? Bigelow: They will be -- they will be around, not in between. Say the front four and the back four, but there will be walkability around the -- the cross -- or the sidewalks. Perreault: Okay. Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor, a follow up to that question. Simison: Councilman Hoaglun. Hoaglun: Mark, so what do you have in between the buildings? Is it just landscaping? Bigelow: It will be landscaping. Greenery. It will be grass with some shrubs. Hoaglun: Okay. Simison: Council, any additional questions for the applicant? Okay. Thank you very Page 26 Meridian City Council Item#2. April 27,2021 Page 13 of 24 much. Mr. Clerk, do we have anyone signed up to provide testimony on this item? Johnson: Mr. Mayor, there are no signups online or in the back. Okay. If there is anybody in the audience who would like to provide testimony on this item, if you would come forward and state your name and address for the record or if there is anybody online that would like to provide testimony, please, use the raise your hand feature and we will bring you into the beating. Seeing no one in the audience or online, would the applicant like to make any final comments? We have no desire for additional final comments, so, Council, I will turn this over to you for next steps. Borton: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Borton. Borton: One quick question to staff. The -- what triggers -- that Linder Road access closes and the Ustick is right-in, right-out; is that correct? Dodson: Council Borton, that is correct. Borton: Okay. Dodson: And the access through Eddington Commons up to Linder. Borton: Got it. Okay. So, that's an existing condition already in the DA. Dodson: Yes, sir. Borton: Okay. Thank you. Perreault: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council Woman Perreault. Perreault: Thank you. I also have a question for Joe. So, it was my understanding from reading the staff report that the applicant does have a decision to make regarding what happens with that stub street. Did I misunderstand that? It sounds like the applicant said they were in agreement with whatever ACHD decides, but it doesn't sound like ACHD is make -- makes a decision on this necessarily. It's just that the applicant needs to be compliant with their code. Am I understanding that correctly? Dodson: Councilman Perreault, that -- yes and no. Your secondary comment is correct. Your first one not so much. It's not that the applicant hasn't made a decision, they are just -- they are kind of waiting on ACHD to make that call. Their code -- their policies states that they need to end that street from Eddington Commons, because the public street ended in a cul-de-sac. That seems like a waste of space and the applicant and staff agree on that in order to do what they are showing here and it would be that Page 27 Meridian City Council Item#2. April 27,2021 Page 14 of 24 hammerhead is shown -- it would be a public use easement, but they have to ask ACHD for a waiver for that. But ACHD will not accept a waiver request until there is an application that they act on, which would be CZC. The applicant does have a -- a secondary site plan so to speak that would show that cul-de-sac just in case that is what ACHD told us to do and the site will still work with that. But we are going forward with this, because this is the -- the hope and what we want out of this. I hope that answers your question. Perreault: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Perreault. Perreault: Yes, it does, although I wouldn't be opposed to seeing that -- if-- if you have it available or if the applicant has it available -- available, just so I can get a visual understanding of what -- what it is. I think -- I think I understand it, but I just want to see it if possible. Dodson: I do not have that out -- the layout. I do not know if the applicant does. Simison: Council, any further questions or comments? And we will see if the applicant has that information. Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor, while he is looking, a question for Joe. Simison: Councilman Hoaglun. Hoaglun: And, Joe, if it is a cul-de-sac it -- it will meet all the code requirements for -- for fire trucks and everything else that would traverse the area and have that access? It's -- it's really no different than we have done in another location; is that correct? Dodson: Councilman Hoaglun, that is correct. Yeah. It would have to meet the turning radius and all that -- big 48 foot radius, which is, again, why staff and the applicant thinks that for the site layout it -- you know, it's a waste of space when -- this would function the same. Hoaglun: Yeah. Dodson: But it's up to ACHD to make that final call. But they will not act on this application. Hoaglun: And, Mr. Mayor, yeah, just to comment on that. I agree -- Simison: Councilman Hoaglun. Hoaglun: -- this would -- this would be a better -- better use and layout for -- for this situation. So, it sounds like we do need to take action to make that a reality to have them Page 28 Meridian City Council Item#2. April 27,2021 Page 15 of 24 make their decision for it, so -- Perreault: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council Woman Perreault. Perreault: Another question for Joe. So, if -- obviously the -- the Linder Road access needs to -- it won't exist and -- so it sounds like there is just this one entrance on Ustick and if it's required to be a right-in, right-out, does staff have concerns, then, about movement around this development and access and whatnot? Dodson: Council Woman Perreault, no. And I would be because of the two way drive aisle all the way around the buildings. Fire had signed off. All their turning radiuses are with -- around the corners, so we are satisfied with that. Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Hoaglun. Hoaglun: Just to comment further on this particular property. I'm very familiar with it, since I just live a half mile down -- down the road, so go through here -- this intersection quite often and -- and, really, for the use of this property and the amount of land that's there, I think this is a much better layout and activity pattern for--than what was proposed before. Certainly the -- what was proposed before was allowed and -- and was -- was approved. But I think this is a -- a better plan for this -- this location and I think it will -- it will work well and -- with the existing homes that are -- that are in the area as well. So, I'm certainly in support of it. Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Hoaglun. Hoaglun: I would move that we close the public hearing for H-2021-0016. Simison: Mr. Hoaglun, can I get you to hold off on that motion as staff is still -- Hoaglun: Oh, they are still searching? Okay. Simison: Did they -- it's in progress. I have seen the -- it going back and forth, they just don't know where it is. So, they will at least provide that. And, Joe, how close are we? Dodson: I'm going to pull it up right now. Maybe. If I can figure it out this whole technology stuff. Good job, Zoom. Here we go. It shows the overlay of what that would look like. Yeah, they would lose a building. Simison: Council, any further questions with that? Okay. Councilman Hoaglun, back to you. Page 29 Meridian City Council Item#2. April 27,2021 Page 16 of 24 Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Hoaglun. Hoaglun: I move that we close the public hearing for H-2021-0016. Cavener: Second. Simison: I have a motion and a second to close the public hearing. Is there any discussion on the motion? If not, all in favor signify by saying aye. Opposed nay. The ayes have it. The public hearing is closed. Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Hoaglun. Hoaglun: After hearing all staff and applicant testimony, I move to approve H-2021-0016 as presented in the staff report for this evening and I just want to make mention that we do agree with the reduced landscape buffers that have been presented in the staff report. Dodson: Thank you. Cavener: Second. Borton: Second. Simison: I have a motion and a second. Is there any discussion on the motion? Seeing none, Clerk will call the roll. Roll call: Borton, yea; Cavener, yea; Bernt, yea; Perreault, yea; Hoaglun, yea; Strader, yea. Simison: All ayes. Motion carries and the item is agreed to. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. 5. Public Hearing Continued from March 23, 2021 for Compass Pointe Subdivision (H-2020-0100) by A-Team Land Consultants, Located at the Southwest Corner of E. Victory Rd. and S. Locust Grove Rd. A. Annexation and Zoning of 7.69 acres of land with a request for the R-15 zoning district. B. A Preliminary Plat consisting of 38 residential building lots and 10 common lots on approximately 4.69 acres of land in the R-15 zoning district Page 30 Meridian City Council Item#2. April 27,2021 Page 17 of 24 Simison: Next item is a public hearing continued from March 23rd, 2021, for Compass Pointe Subdivision, H-2020-0100. The applicant had asked to have this continued to 5/11/21, originally, and that's partly because I think the understanding Council likely will not make a decision tonight due to pending legislative action that is yet resolved at the state legislature this year where we have not been taking action on applications typically over five acres. However, based upon the interest from the community that's here tonight we -- we were going to open this up to take testimony from the public. I don't know if the applicant ever made -- did decide to join us. Johnson: I believe he is here, Mr. Mayor. Online. Simison: So the applicant has joined us this evening for this conversation, but there is no -- no additional staff over-- unless Joseph wants to give a brief overview, if Council wants it, otherwise, we will just go into testimony from the public. Okay. Would the applicant like to make any comments before we go into additional testimony from the community? Bernt: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Bernt. Bernt: Just one comment. If -- if -- if there are folks in the community that are able to come back and testify in two weeks, we will welcome that as well. Just-- if there are folks in the audience that aren't able to return in two weeks, this is the reason why we are allowing public testimony this evening. So, if you -- if you are able to come back in two weeks that would be helpful. Just wanted to make that comment. Simison: Okay. Would the applicant like to make any comments? Arnold: Yes, Mr. Mayor, City Council. For the record Steve Arnold, A-Team Land Consultants. 1785 Whisper Cove, Boise. 83709. And I assume you can hear me. My camera is not working. Simison: We can hear you, yes. Arnold: Good deal. So, yeah, based on some recommendations we requested to table this item and -- for the two weeks until May 11 th, so we are not really prepared to provide a -- a presentation tonight. I can certainly give you an overview -- overview, but I think, you know, same as staff can do that as well. So, if-- if the Council would like I could just help provide some input to any concerns that the neighbors have and, then, take notes and possibly have those addressed at our next City Council meeting. Bernt: Sounds good. Simison: Okay. That would be our plan. Would Council like -- anybody like any additional comments or background on this item at this time? Okay. Not seeing anything -- so, we will just continue to public testimony for this evening, understanding to those that are Page 31 Meridian City Council Item#2. April 27,2021 Page 18 of 24 present there won't be any rebuttal from the applicant this evening, anything will be done in the future hearing when this is continued to, whatever date is chosen, and we will ask if you testified previously to not testify, but with that we will move on to taking public testimony on this item. Mr. Clerk, I will turn it over you to bring up those who provided -- who wish to testify. Johnson: Thank you, Mr. Mayor. There were over 50 sign-ins on this. Some signed in on other projects, so they are not captured here. On your desktops there is a link called sign-in dashboard, so if you want to see the complete list of sign-ins you can. Of the 50 plus who signed in, only two, four -- seven indicated they wished to testify. I'm not sure they want to continue this evening, but first would be John Buckner. Simison: And as you come forward if you can state your name and address for the record and be recognized for three minutes. Buckner: Greetings, Mayor and Council. My name is John Buckner. I live at 3877 South Picasso Avenue in Meridian. Thank you for this evening and giving me the opportunity to speak. I did have a presentation prepared, but in good faith and consideration for the Council and my neighbors here, I will withhold that presentation for the continuance. just want to say I hope many of you have seen and read the e-mails that you have received from the community and so simply saying you know how we feel, you know what the overwhelming feeling and concern is of the community and I just ask that you take that into consideration even now or at least especially in the upcoming hearing. I do plan on returning and to testify on our continuance, as I do hope the rest of my neighbors as well. Thank you very much. Simison: Okay. Cavener: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council -- if you have questions. Councilman Cavener. Cavener: Thanks, Mr. Mayor. Mr. Buckner, just appreciate you being here tonight. Have you had an opportunity to engage with the applicant about your concerns since the last hearing? Has there been any communication between you and the applicant? Buckner: No, I have not. Cavener: Okay. Thank you. Johnson: Mr. Mayor, next is Annette Alonso and she is online. Simison: Annette, if you could unmute yourself. There you go. Alonso: Okay. I'm going to withhold my testimony until the 11th when we see this again. Page 32 Meridian City Council Item#2. April 27,2021 Page 19 of 24 Simison: Okay. And before we go any further is the 11th the date that -- I know that that's the request. I just want everyone to -- because we don't know if the 11th will be the date. I just have to say that at this point in time, but -- Dodson: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Yes, Joe. Dodson: The request of the date was because of me. I -- it's going to be my Joe show again on that Council date, so I figured it made sense, but if Council knows that it's going to be further out, then, obviously, that's up to the Council, because I -- Simison: I think that's the question from Council is -- is that going to be enough time for us to know where the legislature is? It seems pretty close. Bernt: I don't know. Simison: Okay. Johnson: Mr. Mayor, next -- and I apologize I can't read the last name. But Rhonda. Unruh: Good evening. Thank you. I, too -- well, my name is Rhonda Unruh. U-n-r-u-h. And I live at 3246 South Murlo Way in Meridian and 1, too, would like to withhold commenting until the next meeting. Thank you. Simison: So maybe we will go to it this way. Is there anybody that would like to provide testimony this evening on this application because they don't know if they will be able to make a future one? Okay. Well that gets us to that point. Is there anybody online that would like to provide testimony on this item this evening? If so will you use the raise your hand feature on this item. Seeing nobody wishing to provide testimony this evening, Council, I guess the question for you is when would you like to consider continuing this item to? Perreault: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council Woman Perreault. Perreault: We discussed this with some of the applications last week and I was under the impression from Council President Bernt that the 11th was fairly full. Did I misunderstand that? I believe we were moving things out to the 18th at that point and, then, we had a discussion -- brief discussion about possibility of an additional meeting, but I'm not sure if that was ever determined. Johnson: Mr. Mayor, if you would like I can speak to the number of hearings. Okay. May 11th there are four public hearings. One is a UDC text amendment and, then, there are two short plats for projects downtown and, then, another that is an annexation of 20 plus Page 33 Meridian City Council Item#2. April 27,2021 Page 20 of 24 acres. So, we have moved beyond that. But this was continued previously before, so it is sort of in line ahead of the others, if that's what Council wanted to do. Dodson: That annexation on the 11 th is a continuance as well. Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Hoaglun. Hoaglun: I was just intrigued by the -- the thought of a Joe show. I mean that -- we could go viral with that thing, so I -- I don't know. I mean, obviously, we put off several of these public hearings and annexation requests due to potential legislative action. So, we will have to pay the price at some point in time and having some long meetings and so it's -- it's, you know, depends on everybody else's schedule and whatnot if we want to go long that night, so be it, and -- within a reasonable time frame, of course, but I'm willing to do that if the 11th is what the rest of the Council wants to do. Simison: My only concern with the 11th is that we are not going to -- that we are going to ask these people to put on the 11th and we are going to be right back here the same -- it's going to be close. The legislature has decided not to do anything this week. They basically are done for the week, which means that they are going at least through next week, which takes you up to the 9th or that -- that time. So, I would be really concerned about trying to rush it to the 11th. One thing I do think we will put down tomorrow when we talk about agendas is we will see if we can identify a special meeting date that we can start moving things to -- maybe in May for opportunities, but this one I would think the 18th is maybe close. Even that's close. Cavener: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Cavener. Cavener: Council Member Hoaglun hits -- I think is a very important point. We are going to have some long nights ahead of us and as best as we can, the long nights that don't necessarily have a lot of public participation I think are -- those are the nights that we should go on. I -- I feel for the public when we invite them back and, then, to continue it again or, then, ask them to go through a late night. I don't know if that's necessarily fair to them. I'm certainly supportive of us, Mr. Mayor and Council President, looking at a -- a special date for us to take some of this backlog, so that we can, one, take care of some of these applications without having to go late at night for the public. Mr. Mayor, I agree, I think the 18th is still cutting it close. I don't know what the 25th looks like, if that's a date that we would want to look at. I feel bad for the applicant. I feel bad for the public when we have to keep continuing this and the one thing we have learned this year about the legislature is they are very unpredictable and it's hard for us to make decisions when we have got that unpredictable nature that is impacting us. Dodson: Mr. Mayor? Page 34 Meridian City Council Item#2. April 27,2021 Page 21 of 24 Simison: Yes. Dodson: If my workload matters, the 25th works for me as well. I have two projects on that night anyways. Hoaglun: It's a sequel to the Joe Show. Dodson: Many -- many to come. Hoaglun: And, Mr. Mayor, as -- Simison: Councilman Hoaglun. Hoaglun: -- as we mull this over, I just want to encourage the folks here, because a lot of the comments -- most of the comments were related around transportation and there are several bills in the legislature about transportation funding where they are taking sales tax funds to distribute to ITD and there are some earlier bills that were to also distribute funds to local highway districts, like the Ada County Highway District, to help expand our roads and a lot of those have been shelved and they are just going -- the funding to ITD and if there are anything left over, yeah, it might go to the locals. So, I would encourage you to take a look at what the legislators are doing. Encourage them to move that funding to the local level and I know, yes, our state highways are important, but when you look and realize that a lot of people are traveling the local roads to get to their destinations and not the state highways, that's -- that's something we just -- we need those dollars to expand. That's -- that's what it's come down to and -- and so take a look at that and see what you would like to do and, then, contact your local legislator for -- for your thoughts on that. Thanks. Cavener: Especially our local legislators from your district. Simison: Okay. Councilman Bernt. Bernt: Mr. Mayor, I think maybe what we -- the most prudent action is to move -- continue this to the 25th maybe temporarily and, then, the Mayor, myself, can speak tomorrow morning and come up with a date, maybe see what dates with Council works. We can make sure we have a quorum and schedule a special meeting for annexation approvals and -- or proposals to that date. So, I would -- I would maybe propose us continue this until the 25th and, then, in a short time period we will have a special date that we can start continuing some of the past applications that we have continued. Simison: Or the ones that are going to have to be continued next week or potentially the week after. Bernt: Right. So, thoughts on that? Strader: Mr. Mayor? Page 35 Meridian City Council Item#2. April 27,2021 Page 22 of 24 Simison: Council Woman Strader. Strader: So, would the idea be to communicate with the public that this will be scheduled on the 25th and, then, hoping that we will have an additional meeting to clean up some other items that we don't think involve as much participation from the public? Is there some way we can give the public certainty on that, if possible, that date for that hearing. Simison: My recommendation would be, no, that we move this one to the 25th and leave it at that date, because I think we are going to set us -- will have to set a special meeting still somewhere between the 20th and the 30th, that we will have to move likely next week's continued ones and the week after that. So, it's really setting things up would be my recommendation and let's tell the public when this one will in theory come back. As much as I love NextDoor and Facebook and the network, I think we should stick to a date and not let it be game of telephone, tell a friend when it starts to move. Cavener: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Cavener. Cavener: For clarification, I guess what I'm hearing from you is likely maybe a motion to continue this item to the 25th, but some of the future items that we have before us that will likely be continued will work for a special meeting to capture those, likely on the 26th or at a later point in time. Simison: Sometime in that last part of May. Cavener: Mr. Mayor. Sorry. Simison: Councilman Cavener. Cavener: Just maybe I guess a question for the applicant and especially for those three homeowners associations that are representative, the 26th works for both of them. Simison: 25th. Cavener: 25th. Sorry. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Arnold: If the question is for me I will make whatever time works. The sooner the better, but I understand that the Council is -- is looking to have some sort of legislative action and that's unknown, but I don't know how tabling it would be -- you know, if we set it for the 11th, it sounds like that's a little too soon for the Council. So, we will take whatever we can get. The sooner the better. Cavener: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Cavener. Page 36 Meridian City Council Item#2. April 27,2021 Page 23 of 24 Cavener: I don't know -- I don't know if Ms. Alonzo is still on or the first gentleman who spoke, if the folks that said they were going to bring their testimony that at least representing homeowners associations or anyone here can make sure that that date works for them as well and, if not, let's give them the opportunity to testify tonight. Johnson: Mr. Mayor, Annette is also unmuted if you would like to comment. Simison: Ms. Alonso. Alonso: Are you there? Simison: Yes. Go ahead. Alonso: Okay. Yeah. That works for me. The 25th is fine. Or whatever other date you set that's totally fine. I will be there. Simison: With that do I have a motion? Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Hoaglun. Hoaglun: I move that we continue the public hearing on H-2020-0100 to March -- April 25th. I'm sorry we are in April. May 25th. Thank you. Cavener: Second. Simison: I have a motion and a second to continue this item to May 25th. Is there any discussion? If not, all in favor signify by saying aye Opposed nay. The ayes have it and the item is continued until the 25th of May. Thank you. To everyone's attention and understanding. MOTION CARRIED: ALLAYES. FUTURE MEETING TOPICS Simison: So, with that we are down to future meeting topics. Anything under that item, Council? Borton: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Borton. Borton: Just real quick. I had a good discussion with community development with regards to the presentation of staff reports at Council meetings and looking for ways to be efficient and you might have noticed today was an example where we -- we -- we Page 37 Meridian City Council Item#2. April 27,2021 Page 24 of 24 demoed a little more compressed presentation from staff, even though it's relatively simple projects. Because the staff report has all the detail and we all prep and review it all in advance of the hearing, there may be opportunities for -- for our planning staff to give us a more abbreviated presentation than reading the long script and preparing a long script, makes their work a little easier and they can instead use their time to focus on big picture of what the application is and some of the decision points that became most relevant in the underlying hearing. Kind of focus our attention. It's quicker, more pointed, and maybe more productive for us. So, we will get to that in maybe a future meeting topic, maybe in June or July, to see what we liked and didn't like about some of these demos and maybe the process gets better. So, just a heads up that you will see some of the abbreviated presentations on -- when appropriate. Simison: So, Council, pay attention. Okay. With that do I have a motion? Bernt: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Bernt. Bernt: I move that we adjourn. Hoaglun: Second the motion. Simison: Motion and a second to adjourn the meeting. All in favor signify by saying aye. Opposed nay. We are adjourned. MOTION CARRIED: ALLAYES. MEETING ADJOURNED AT 7.07 P.M. (AUDIO RECORDING ON FILE OF THESE PROCEEDINGS) 5 11 / 2021 MAYOR ROBERT E.

Patmos Ave) approximately 50 feet to the east. II. APPLICANT INFORMATION A. Applicant Matt Schultz, Schultz Development—8421 S. Ten Mile Rd.,Meridian, ID 83642 B. Representative: Kerry Angelos,Lupine Cove LLC—372 S. Eagle Rd., Ste 107,Eagle,ID 83616 III. STAFF ANALYSIS This is a request for a modification to the final plat of Lupine Cove to shift the northern stub street(N. Patmos Ave)approximately 50 feet to the east. This final plat for 26 buildable lots and 6 common lots on 6.89 acres of land in the R-8 zoning district was approved by the City Council on February 9, 2021. Following the City Council meeting,ACHD requested for N. Patmos Ave to be shifted to the east to align with a stub street from the Aegean Subdivision to the north and increase the offset to McDermott Rd. Pagel Page 7 Item#2. Staff has reviewed the proposed final plat for substantial compliance with the approved preliminary plats(PP-2019-0133 and FP-2020-0017) as required by UDC 11-6B-3C.2. Because this modification only involves a shift in the northern stub to the east and creation of an additional tract for an irrigation easement south of the McFadden Drain,with no additional lots or reduction in open space, staff finds the proposed final plat is in substantial compliance with the approved preliminary plat as required. However,the revised landscape plan differs slightly from the approved final plat landscape plan in that there were trees shown as existing that have been removed. Staff has added a condition that prior to City Engineer signature on the final plat,the applicant shall submit a tree mitigation plan, approved by the City Arborist,that accounts for how qualifying trees that were shown on the approved landscape plan and proposed for removal on the revised plan will be mitigated per UDC 11-3B-1OC. IV. DECISION A. Staff: Staff recommends approval of the proposed final plat modification with the conditions of approval in Section VI of this report. V. EXHIBITS A.

Ustick (H-2021-0016) Application(s):  Development Agreement Modification Size of property, existing zoning, and location: This site consists of 4 acres of land, zoned C-C, located at 1450 W. Ustick; the northeast corner of Ustick and Linder. History: AZ-14-007 (Inst. #2014-088000); SHP-14-001. Comprehensive Plan FLUM Designation: Mixed-Use Community Summary of Request:  The Applicant proposes to amend the Sugarman Subdivision Development Agreement (Inst. #2014-088000) to replace the existing concept plan and amend or add new provisions consistent with a new development plan.  Annexed in 2014 and short platted – plat was never recorded. DA and zoning are still applicable.  Existing DA concept plan depicts 3 buildings; a gas station, a multi-tenant building, and a bank with a drive-through. The existing DA restricted the location of the drive-through through the hearing process.  The new concept plan depicts eight (8), single-story, multi-tenant office buildings that could contain those uses allowed in the C-C zoning district. Applicant has indicated that they only allow office uses within their developments but staff did not recommend specifically prohibiting any uses.  Key points of interest for the project are: o Public road stub on the subject site’s northern boundary that was not part of the original approvals (Edington Commons)—ACHD does not provide action or conditions of approval on development agreement applications. o Linder access point should be closed with the future CZC application submittal. The need for this access is further mitigated with an access through Edington Commons to the north that leads to a safer access to Linder Road. o Council Waiver to reduce the required landscape buffers along the northern and eastern property lines from 25 feet to 15 feet— in addition to the buffers themselves, the site plan shows a drive aisle and parking spaces between the rear-yard fences of future homes and the proposed commercial buildings. Overall, the buildings should be at least 45 feet from the eastern property line and 60 feet from the northern property line. Ample separation of uses. Recommendation: MDA requires Council action only. Staff recommends approval of the subject DA Modification pursuant to the recommended DA provisions outlined in the staff report.

NOTICING Planning&Zoning City Council Posting Date Posting Date Newspaper Notification 3/12/2021 4/9/2021 Radius notification mailed to properties within 500 feet 3/9/2021 4/7/2021 Radius notification published on 2/22/2021 4/9/2021 Nextdoor posting 3/9/2021 4/7/2021 Sign Posting 3/15/2021 4/8/2021 V. STAFF ANALYSIS A. Future Land Use Map Designation(https:llwww.meridianciu.or /g compplan) The property is designated for medium density residential(MDR). This designation allows for dwelling units at gross densities of three to eight dwelling units per acre. Density bonuses may be considered with the provision of additional public amenities such as a park, school,or land dedicated for public services. The FLUM shows a fire and police station symbol in the general vicinity(north side of E. Lake Hazel Rd). The purpose of this designation is to preserve and protect existing and planned fire and police station locations throughout the Area of City Impact which provide efficient emergency response. The proposed fire and police station in this location would be consistent with the recommendations of the FLUM. B. Comprehensive Plan Policies (https://www.meridiancity.or /g compplan): • Develop and implement master plans for all public facilities, services, and safety to guide the growth of the City. (3.02.01). The subject property is shown to be within an area designated as afire/police station on the Future Land Use Map. • Support the appropriate expansion of City facilities, services, staff, and other resources to keep up with demand and established levels of service. (3.02.01 D) • Ensure that quality fire protection,rescue and emergency medical services are provided within Meridian. (4.11.03) • Establish and maintain levels of service for public facilities and services, including water, sewer,police,transportation, schools, fire, and parks. (3.02.01 G) A significant amount of land has been annexed in the surrounding area. This includes the Impressive East Ridge, Bicentennial Farms, Apex and Apex Southeast, Lavender Heights, Sky Page 4 Page 17 Item#3. Mesa, Pura Vida and The Keep subdivisions. Much of this area is not within the City's preferred 5-minute response time, and this future fire station and police sub-station were anticipated during the analysis of these projects'analysis. This annexation and zoning would support appropriate expansion and maintenance of services and would ensure quality fire and emergency services and would significantly improve the emergency response times. • Ensure that new development and subdivisions connect to the pathway system. (4.04.01A) The Pathways Master Plan shows a future 10'wide pathway along E. Lake Rd. as well as a 10'pathway along the eastern portion of the property(in the area of the future collector road). The 10'pathway already exists along the northern perimeter of Discovery Park; the applicant will be required to complete this pathway along the north and eastern property lines. • Reduce the number of existing access points onto arterial streets by using methods such as cross access agreements, access management, and frontage/backage roads, and promoting local and collector street connectivity. (6.01.02B) The property presently takes access from two driveways off E. Lake Hazel Rd. However, a future collector is shown at the east side of the property. This collector is intended to serve the subject property as well as provide access to Discovery Park. The applicant will build this collector road from E. Lake Hazel Rd to the southern property line.As is required by UDC 11-3A-3, the applicant will be required to close both driveways accessing E. Lake Hazel Rd. • Require all new development to create a site design compatible with surrounding uses through buffering, screening,transitional densities, and other best site design practices. (3.07.01A) The applicant's concept plan shows landscape buffers along E. Lake Rd and the future collector street. Landscape screening is reflected on the plan to screen the site from Discovery Park at the west and any future development to the south. C. Existing Structures/Site Improvements: There is an existing residence and agricultural buildings on the site which were constructed in 1940. All buildings will be removed with development of the site. D. Proposed Use Analysis: UDC defines fire station and police stations as a"public or quasi-public use."This use is allowed in the R-8 zone district as a conditional use. E. Specific Use Standards (UDC 11-4-3): UDC 11-4-3-30 states public or quasi-public uses shall meet the standards for office use in accord with the district in which the use is located. F. Dimensional Standards(UDC 11-2): The applicant proposes to zone the property to R-8. Dimensional standards in the R-8 zone district include a minimum lot size of 4,000 sq. ft., front setbacks of 25' from a collector street, rear setback of 12' and 10' side setback. Building height is limited to 35'. A 25' buffer is required along arterial roads and 20' along collector roads. The concept plan as submitted appears to meet the minimum dimensional standards. Page 5 Page 18 Item#3. G. Access(UDC 11-3A-3, 11-3H-4): Lake Hazel Road is improved with 2-travel lanes and no curb, gutter or sidewalk abutting the site. There is 50-feet of right-of-way for Lake Hazel Road. Lake Hazel Road is planned to be widened to 5-lanes from Locust Grove Road to Eagle Road between 2036 and 2040. ACHD is requiring the applicant to dedicate right-of-way along Lake Hazel Road abutting the site.ACHD has mentioned the applicant will be required to construct a minimum 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk,but as already mentioned,the Parks Dept is requiring the applicant to construct a 10' detached pathway along E. Lake Hazel to connect to the pathway to the west. The applicant will be required to construct a new north/south collector roadway along the site's east property line from the south property line to Lake Hazel Road. The applicant will also be required to install a temporary turnaround at the terminus of the stub street since it will be longer than 150-feet. Although ACHD is requesting the applicant construct 5' wide sidewalk along this collector,per the Parks Department,the applicant will be required to construct a 10' detached pathway along this section. This E. Lake Hazel Rd/Collector Road intersection is planned for signalization. The applicant has proposed to construct 2 driveways from the site to the new collector roadway; one for the police station and a wider driveway for the fire station. The applicant will be required to close the 2 existing driveways from the site onto Lake Hazel Road. H. Parking(UDC 11-3C): UDC 11-3C requires one(1) space for every five hundred(500) square feet of gross floor area. With 22,710 sq. ft. between the first station and the police sub-station,45 parking spaces are required,whereas 55 are provided. 17 parking spaces are provided to the public at the east, and 38 secure parking spaces are provided at the west side of the property. 12 of the parking spaces would be covered. The concept plan shows at least 3 additional spaces for fire apparatus at the east side of the fire station. The parking plan does not appear to meet all the landscaping requirements of UDC 11-3B-8. Internal parking lot landscaping is required with any parking lot with more than 12 spaces, including internal islands at intervals no greater than 12 spaces. Landscape planters are also required at the end of rows of parking. This will need to be addressed at the time of CZC submittal. I. Pathways( UDC 11-3A-8): The Pathways Master Plan shows a future 10' wide pathway along E. Lake Rd. as well as a 10' pathway along the eastern portion of the property(in the area of the future collector road). The 10' pathway already exists along the northern perimeter of Discovery Park; construction of a pathway along the north and a new detached pathway along the eastern property line will be required with development of the site. J. Sidewalks(UDC 11-3A-17): The applicant will be required to construct pathways along the north and east property lines as part of this development. K. Parkways(UDC 11-3A-17): Parkways are not included with this development. Page 6 Page 19 Item#3. L. Landscaping(UDC 11-3B): UDC 11-2A-5 requires a 25' wide buffer along arterial roads and 20' along collector roads. These buffers must be landscaped at one(1)tree per thirty-five(35)linear feet. Parking lot landscaping is required around the perimeter of the parking lot,and no linear grouping of parking spaces shall exceed twelve (12)in a row,without an internal planter island. Parking islands are also required at the ends of all parking rows. The submitted concept plan does suggest the road buffers are incorporated but along the E. Lake Hazel Rd frontage there is no landscaping shown. As mentioned in the parking analysis above, the parking lot and road buffers will need to meet the requirements of UDC 11-2A-5 at the time of CZC. There are existing trees on the site that will be removed with development of the site. The applicant should work with the City Arborist and submit a landscape plan that meets the tree mitigation requirements of UDC I I-3B-10 at the time of CZC submittal. M. Waterways(UDC 11-3A-6): No waterways are associated with this development. N. Fencing(UDC 11-3A-6, I1-3A-7): The applicant proposes security fencing of up to 8' in height(fencing shown in red on the attached concept plan). The materials and type of fencing is not specified. Staff notes fencing height is limited to 6' in height in the R-8 zone district. The applicant should apply for alternative compliance concurrently with the CZC. There was discussion during the pre-application meeting regarding whether there would be security issues with the screen fencing on the west side of the site obstructing views into Discovery Park. It was determined this would require storage of vehicles at the east, along the new collector and in the same location as public parking,which was determined to be less than ideal. O. Utilities(UDC 11-3A-21): Connection to City water and sewer services is proposed in accord with UDC 11-3A-21. The submitted Water Main& Service Sizing Plan indicates 8"water and sewer lines serving the property. Water would be provided from a main in E. Lake Hazel Rd.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Development Agreement Modification to amend the Sugarman Subdivision Development Agreement (Inst. #2014-088000)to replace the existing concept plan with the submitted development plan,by Mark Bigelow,MRS Landholdings. II. SUMMARY OF REPORT A. Applicant: Same as Owner B. Owner: Mark Bigelow,MRS Landholdings— 1716 N. Stagno Bello Place,Eagle,ID 83616 C. Representative: Same as Owner III. STAFF ANALYSIS The Applicant proposes to amend the Sugarman Subdivision Development Agreement (Inst. #2014- 088000) to replace the existing concept plan and amend or add new provisions consistent with a new development plan. See Section V for Staff s recommended changes to the existing DA provisions. History: The subject site was annexed in 2014 under AZ-14-007 and was approved for a short plat at the same time consisting of four(4)building lots(SHP-14-00 1).The property is still shown as a singular lot so the plat was never recorded and is no longer valid. However, the DA and annexation ordinance were approved which means the property could develop with C-C uses consistent with the approved concept plan. Page 1 Page 31 Item#4. Concept Plan: The concept plan in the existing DA depicts 3 buildings; a gas station, a multi-tenant building,and a bank with a drive-through. The existing DA restricted the location of the drive-through through the hearing process. In addition, the existing concept plan shows a connection to the north directly in line with the Ustick Road access and shows a restricted access point to Linder Road. See Exhibit B for the existing concept plan. The new concept plan depicts eight (8), single-story, multi-tenant office buildings that could contain those uses allowed in the C-C zoning district.However,the Applicant has indicated that they only allow office uses within their developments. The site plan maintains the arterial access points shown in the approved concept plan but proposes a new connection point to the north due to recent approvals that were not known at the time of annexation in 2014. The proposed office complex also shows green spaces between all of the buildings creating a commercial mew and breaks up the building pads. Because of the proposed site plan, general location of the site, and limited accesses into the site, the probable uses will be personal and professional services, daycare group, flex space, information industry, retail uses, and healthcare/social services so Staff does not find it necessary to specifically limit the uses through the DA. See Exhibit C below for the proposed development plan. More specific review of the site plan will be done with a future CZC application. Access: Despite the existing access points being approved with the original approvals and concept plan in 2014, the adjacent property to the north has received plat approval and includes a public road stub on the subject site's northern boundary that was not part of the original approvals. The submitted concept plan shows the public road terminating on site via the commercial drive aisles requiring a public access easement on this property.This is not consistent with ACHD policy and requires the road to terminate in a cul-de-sac unless the applicant requests a waiver to this policy which may require ACHD Commission action. Per ACHD staff, this waiver cannot be requested until a future CZC application is submitted for review and approval. ACHD does not provide action or conditions of approval on development agreement applications. If the applicant does not obtain the waiver, it does affect the design of the proposed concept plan and would require a redesign to accommodate a cul-de- sac. A recommended DA provision requires compliance with ACHD policy. This would allow the applicant to move forward with executing the amended DA and submitting a CZC application for ACHD to review and provide the necessary determination on the extension of the approved stub street and access to Ustick Road. Furthermore,the access to Linder shown on the submitted site plan does not meet ACHD offset policy nor UDC 11-3A-3. This access point should be closed with the future CZC application submittal. The need for this access is further mitigated with an access through Edington Commons to the north that leads to a safer access to Linder Road. The closure of the Linder access on this site also furthers the integration of this site with the residential to the north which helps the project meet the integration desired on mixed-use properties like this. Waiver Request: In addition to the request for the DA Modification, the Applicant is requesting a Council Waiver to reduce the required landscape buffers along the northern and eastern property lines from 25 feet to 15 feet. feet. The properties to the north and east of the site are approved for residential developments which require a 25-foot buffer for the C-C zoning district, according to the UDC. The Applicant is requesting to reduce the landscape buffers adjacent to the residential developments because in addition to the buffers themselves, the site plan shows a drive aisle and parking spaces between the rear-yard fences of future homes and the commercial buildings.Overall,the buildings should be at least 45 feet from the eastern property line and 60 feet from the northern property line. Within the proposed landscape buffers to the residential developments the Applicant is proposing a micro-path throughout both buffers that connect to the sidewalks along Linder and Ustick.These paths will also connect to the sidewalks that will lead into Edington Commons to the north and a future pedestrian connection from the east(Tetherow Crossing). Furthermore,the Applicant is proposing single-story buildings and with the proposed pedestrian elements maintain the integration desired within a mixed-use designation. Staff Page 2 Page 32 Item#4. recommends the landscaping in these buffers be denser to help ensure adequate buffering—at a minimum, the planted trees should touch at maturity. Therefore, Staff finds the reduced landscape buffers along the northern and eastern boundaries offer an equal buffer to the code required 25-foot width when combined with the overall site design. The additional area of buffer that is shown as less than the required width is that area adjacent to the arterial intersection of Linder and Ustick. The only reason for this buffer being less than the 25 feet required is to make the site design work efficiently. Street buffer reductions require Alternative Compliance (a director determination) to be approved and should be applied for with the first CZC application. On a property located near a hard corner such as this it is more appropriate to place the buildings closer to the corner itself.In addition,requiring the 25-foot buffer in this area would not gain the City any measurable benefits. For these reasons, Staff supports the Applicant's request and does not see the change in buffer width as becoming detrimental to the adjacent developments or to the general welfare. IV. DECISION A. Staff: Staff recommends approval of the modification to the DA (Inst. #2014-088000) as recommended by Staff s analysis above and with the specific changes below. V. EXHIBITS A. Development Agreement provisions from the existing DA(Inst. #2014-088000): Existing Provisions: 5. CONDITIONS GOVERNING DEVELOPMENT OF SUBJECT PROPERTY: 5.1.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANALYSIS A. Future Land Use Map Designation(https://www.meridiancity.org/compplan) Medium Density Residential—This designation allows for dwelling units at gross densities of three to eight dwelling units per acre. Density bonuses may be considered with the provision of additional public amenities such as a park, school,or land dedicated for public services. The proposed annexation area is an undeveloped corner of land with existing medium density development to its west and east across Locust Grove. Specifically, this parcel of land is at the southwest corner of Victory Road and Locust Grove Road. There is existing City of Meridian zoning to the west, east, and northeast located at the northeast corner of the same intersection. All existing development most adjacent to the subject site is zoned R-8. There is a large county zoned parcel directly to the north of this site that has not yet received development approval but has two streets stubbed to its western property line so no access will be taken to Victory or Locust Grove. In addition, its future land use designation is Low Density Residential(LDR)dictating that it will likely have less density than this site. The proposed land use of attached single-family residential, and townhomes would be a new type of dwelling in this immediate area and is therefore consistent with policies noted in the Comprehensive Plan for all residential future land use designations, including Medium Density Residential(MDR), to contain different types of dwellings. MDR, as noted above, also allows gross densities of 3-8 units per acre; the Applicant haste revised this project to reduce the number of units wi4 and is now proposed with a gross density of 4-.24 4.94 du/ac. Staff finds that the proposed project meets the density requirements of the Comprehensive Plan. The City may require a development agreement(DA) in conjunction with an annexation pursuant to Idaho Code section 67-651IA.In order to ensure the site develops as proposed with this application, Staff recommends a DA as a provision of annexation with the provisions included in Section IX.A1. The DA is required to be signed by the property owner(s)/developer and returned to the City within 6 months of the Council granting the annexation for approval by City Council and subsequent recordation.A final plat will not be accepted until the DA is executed and the AZ ordinance is approved by City Council. B. Comprehensive Plan Policies(https://www.meridiancity.oi-glcompplan): The applicable Comprehensive Plan policies are cited below with Staff analysis in italics. "Avoid the concentration of any one housing type or lot size in any geographical area;provide for diverse housing types throughout the City"(2.01.01 G). The proposed R-15 zoning and proposed land use of single family attached and townhomes would be a new dwelling type in the immediate area surrounding this development. R-8 zoning abuts the subject site to the south and west and across Locust Grove to the east. This policy, and the comprehensive plan, calls for a variety of Page 5 Page 43 Item#5. housing types in any one geographical area. So, adding 48 units of a different product type to the area shows congruency with this comprehensive plan policy. "With new subdivision plats,require the design and construction of pathways connections, easy pedestrian and bicycle access to parks, safe routes to schools, and the incorporation of usable open space with quality amenities"(2.02.01A). The Tenmile Creek runs adjacent to this property on its western boundary and the entirety of its 100'easement is located on the subject site. Because of this, the Applicant has proposed to utilize this area as a natural open space and place a 5-foot wide path adjacent to the easement. In addition, the Applicant is proposing sidewalks adjacent to the internal private streets with connections to the path along the creek and out to Locust Grove and Victory Roads. These connections create a continuous walking path through the development creating easy pedestrian and bicycle access within and out of the proposed development. Despite the Tenmile Creek qualifying as open space per the UDC, it is the majority of the proposed open space and is not an active open space area. The Applicant has not been able to enter into a license agreement with the irrigation district to beautify the creek but code Tees allawfer this watet=wtfy to notes that this is one of the waterways encouraged to be left natural. There are other small pockets of open space within this development that the Applicant has enlarged since the first Commission meeting that can accommodate active uses and the Applicant has chosen to place them throughout the project to encourage use by all future residents;e* an three of these areas is are large enough to be qualified open space(meets the 50'x 100' requirement). Despite the inclusion of a large area of qualified open space in terms of percentage of the site, Stafffinds theme revised project and reduced unit count utilizes the laeking in usable proposed open space more than the previous layouts and is in better alignment with this op -—icy. "Reduce the number of existing access points onto arterial streets by using methods such as cross- access agreements, access management, and frontage/backage roads, and promoting local and collector street connectivity"(6.01.0213).Due to the triangle shape of this parcel and its location being constrained directly by the Tenmile Creek and two arterial streets, strict compliance with this policy is not feasible. There are no streets (public or privates stubbed to this property and this parcel also cannot stub to any other parcel due to these constraints. The Applicant is only proposing one access for the development and is locating it as far away from the intersection as physically possible. Despite not being able to comply with this policy, Staff appreciates that only one access to an arterial is proposed. The access to Victory Rd. is for emergency access only. "Require all new residential neighborhoods to provide complete streets,consistent with the Transportation and Land Use Integration Plan."(2.02.01 Q. The Applicant is not proposing to construct complete streets with this development and therefore does not comply with this policy. Instead, the Applicant is proposing to construct private streets at their minimum standard width of 24 feet but with 5-foot attached sidewalk on en both sides of the street along the main access road, shown as Compass Lane on the submitted plans. Both ACHD and the Applicant believe private streets are the preferred street type in this development because there is no opportunity for road connectivity to adjacent parcels due to the site constraints outlined above. The Applicant is not required to construct private streets and public streets would be accepted by the highway district if proposed as compliant with their standards. However,public streets require more right-of-way than private streets and if this were to be constructed with public roads instead, a redesign of the project would be required and would likely result in a large reduction in building lots and usable land. "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 Page 6 Page 44 Item#5. provided." (3.03.03). The proposed development and use adhere to the vision established by the underlying future land use designation in that it should offer an additional housing option for the immediate area.Attached single-family and townhomes are permitted uses in the R-1 S zoning district. In addition, all infrastructure extensions will be paid for by the Applicant and not the taxpayers. "Encourage compatible uses and site design to minimize conflicts and maximize use of land." (3.07.00). The proposed development is not like any of the detached single-family homes adjacent to the subject site and this distinction is encouraged in the comprehensive plan in order to offer different housing options at different price points and to different types of home buyers. The open space within the development has been improved by being larger than previous layouts and should also be more usable due to the Applicant proposing ten (10)fewer units than previously. may leave seniethiffg to be desired but In addition, the development has landscape buffers oth natural and otherwise) on all three sides of the development to minimize any conflict that may arise from having an attached product in an area dominated by detached single-family homes. IW addition,4The Applicant is also proposing only one access to the development which should help minimize traffic impact on adjacent streets, especially once the arterial network surrounding this development is widened and improved in the coming years. Staff finds this development to be generally consistent with Comprehensive Plan policies and objectives. VI. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE REVIEW A. Planned U-nit Develepmen4!

Locust Grove in the southeast corner of the site aligning with E. Coastline St. on the east side of Locust Grove(the access into Tradewinds Subdivision). All private streets appear to meet UDC dimensional standards for width,number of units,and turnarounds. Because the site is a triangle shape, bordered on two sides by arterial streets and on one side by the Ten Mile Creek, there is no opportunity for connectivity to any adjacent site and so ACHD prefers private streets within the development. Consequently, because private streets take less right-of-way than public streets and most notably because of the constraints just noted,-i the Page 10 Page 48 Item#5. Applicant agrees with this assessment and has proposed private streets throughout the development. City code requires that private streets are to be used in either a mew or gated development and so this Applicant has proposed neithe to construct a gated entry into the development with the revised layout. beeente alle�, loaded garages eff ef the prhwte street by requesfiffg to elintitiate the required P-rivate Street standards. The access point into the development does not meet ACHD district policy but they are modifying their policy to accommodate access into the development because this is the best place for an access to a residential development. This is largely because of the site constraints already outlined above. The Applicant is proposing to construct private streets that are 24'wide with S' attached sidewalk on one both sides of the main private street t f fug'out the r,,eje t and on one side of the other two private streets within the development. Staff supports the proposed men of-the sidewalk layout eH ones to ensure adequate pedestrian access in the development except Staff believes an additional pedestrian connection to Locust Grove is necessary from near the center of development. Since the Commission meeting the Applicant has also revised the street layout to have the main street bend and meander through the site. This design offers some natural traffic calming and also changes where setbacks are taken from because setbacks are measured from the back ofsidewalk. On the submitted site plan (Exhibit VIII.E the Applicant has not appeared to take full advantage of these varying setback lines. Therefore, Staff is recommending a condition of approval that the Applicant vary the build-to-lines throughout the development to eliminate any monotonous wall plane; this should occur with every other structure showing a different wall plane. At the north end of the main street within the development(labeled as Compass Lane on the landscape plans) the Applicant is proposing an emergency only access to Victory Road. This access is required if more than 30 homes are to be constructed. Staff is not aware of the kind of emergency access proposed but Meridian Fire prefers bollard type accesses for added efficiency in emergency situations;Meridian Fire has approved the requested preliminary plat for fire access, turnarounds, and road widths. Page 11 Page 49 Item#5. Near the center of the development the Applicant is showing a hammerhead type turnaround because that dead-end street is longer than 150'and therefore is required to have a turnaround for emergency vehicles. Since the hammerhead does not take up the full length of a buildable lot, the Applicant is proposing the rest of that lot to be a small area of open space. rW'' � reeemmendations.diseus-s-ed in the PUD ana4wis, this eufarffit4,small open&paee area wou beeentepartef the larger eemmen open Vaee niew let, Further analywis is belaw in the Open To remove the need for this hammerhead and the incentive to use this turnaround as parkin spaces, Staff recommends revisions to this area of the site. The Applicant should connect the two private streets shown as Galileo Road and Navigation Road along the eastern property line, as shown below. This requires the applicant to remove two building lots and revise I e the plat and all other plans to show this connection. However, if these two roads connect, there is no need for the hammerhead turnaround and the small proposed open space area at its terminus and the Applicant could then add a unit to that lot resulting in a net loss of one unit. Staff finds that this recommended revision makes for a more complete road network and allows better circulation within the site for both residents and emer eenncy services. As noted, the Applicant is now proposing to construct this development as a,gated community to meet the Private Street Standards. According to the revised preliminaryplat, the Applicant is proposing the gate to be located approximately 130'into the private street access and after a set of guest parking�spaces. Staff appreciates the desire of the Applicant to add additional guest parking but these parking spaces should be removed in lieu of a turnaround area so that anyone who may pull into this private road on accident has the ability to turnaround safely. This is needed because private streets are too narrow to safely turnaround within its 24 feet of right-of- way. The Applicant should remove these 3 guest spaces and show a turnaround area in this area instead. Page 12 Page 50 Item#5. C. Existing Structures/Site Improvements: There appears to be an existing home on the propertyi an&this building will be demolished at the time of development, according to the Applicant. There are no other site improvements known at this time. D. Proposed Use Analysis: The proposed use is attached single-family and townhomes which are listed as principally permitted uses in the R-15 zoning district per UDC Table 11-2A-2. There is one are four detached units proposed and a better mix of duplex and triplex style townhomes shown on the revised plans for elesest to the eflA n-e-e or the development. As discussed in the comprehensive plan section above, the proposed use of attached single-family homes would be a new type of residential use within almost a square mile in every direction of this development. So long as the Applicant complies with the recommended conditions of approval, including those regarding the road layout Staff finds that the proposed use will be a welcomed addition to the City of Meridian and add more housing options in this area of the City. E. Dimensional Standards(UDC 11-2): The proposed lots and the private streets appear to meet all UDC dimensional standards per the submitted preliminary plat. This includes property sizes,required street frontages,and road widths for the requested R-15 zoning district.Note: The City of Meridian does not have maximum lot coverage or floor area ratio requirements so proposed homes can theoretically more living area than proposed lot area or be close in area. proposed la�q withiH the subdivisien.

Stafffinds the proposed project meets these standards. F. Parking(UDC 11-3C): Off-street parking is required to be provided in accord with the standards listed in UDC Table 11- 3C-6 for single-family detached and attached dwellings based on the number of bedrooms per unit.Future development should comply with these standards.No parking plan was submitted with the application. The proposed street sections(23 24 feet wide with attached sidewalks) of the private streets within the development,shown on the submitted preliminary plat, CANNOT accommodate parking on either side of the street. The entirety of the private streets will be required to be labeled as "No Parking,"per the Meridian Fire recommendations. Each unit will be required to meet the off-street parking standards and Staff encourages the developer of this site to include provisions within their HOA bylaws that prohibit garages being used as storage. This would help alleviate some of the parking issues seen throughout the City and especially in areas where no on-street parking is allowed. The PUP-Site Map submitted by the applicant appears to show compliance with the parking standards with a two-car garage for each unit and a parking pad. weuU lose their j9af*iffgj9ad through a PUD request to elintinate that requireniew as allowe Page 13 Page 51 Item#5.

Lot 3, Block 4 is proposing 6 guest within an open space lot that is not quali Being because it combines remnant areas that Staff does not find meets UDC open space standards. Because of this, Staff encourages the Applicant to add additional guest spaces in this area to better utilize the area. G. Pathways (UDC 11-3A-8): No multi-use pathways are proposed or required with this development because the required multi-use pathway is already constructed on the west side of the Tenmile Creek on an adjacent parcel. This Applicant is proposing a 5-foot wide pathway on this side of the creek and behind the proposed homes. This pathway connects to the private streets at the southern end of the project and thru the common open space lot located midblock on the west side of the site. This pathway also continues north and connects to the required sidewalk along Victory Road creating continuous pedestrian circulation path for the development. 'addifien, t ^pplie nt Leeust Greve. Thig path z9heuld be kept and ineluded within the i�eeemmended mew te sei=�v aS H. Sidewalks(UDC 11-3A-17): Five-foot attached sidewalks are proposed along at least one side of all internal leea4 rb ivate streets. Sidewalks are not required when constructing Private Streets. There is no existing sidewalk along Victory Road or Locust Grove;and none are proposed with this project because both arterial streets are scheduled to be widened as part of the roundabout project at this intersection in 2021-22, according to ACHD, as stated above. Detached sidewalks are required along arterial roadways per UDC 11-3A-17. The Applicant has already agreed to dedicate additional right of way to ACHD for the roundabout and future widening of Victory and Locust Grove.ACHD is requiring the Applicant to road trust for the sidewalk improvements as the roundabout and associated improvements will likely be constructed prior to construction of this site. In addition, this will ensure any improvements made by the Applicant will not have to be removed to make the planned roundabout improvements. Therefore, Staff is recommending that the Applicant comply with the ACHD conditions of approval for the arterial sidewalks instead of constructing them with this project. As discussed, the Applicant is proposing 5-foot attached sidewalks on at least one side of the internal private streets to accommodate better pedestrian access through the development. Staff recommends that 4es-e all sidewalks and every expected pedestrian crossing be constructed with pavers, stamped concrete, or similar to clearly delineate the sidewalks from the driving surface and to subsequently help with pedestrian safety. In addition, Staff is recommending that with the recommended road layout changes the Applicant add an additional sidewalk connection to Locust Grove to improve pedestrian accessibility to the arterial sidewalks. Page 14 Page 52 Item#5. I. Landscaping(UDC 11-3B): A 25-foot wide street buffer is required adjacent to E.Victory and S. Locust Grove because they are arterial streets. This buffer should be landscaped per the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7C and placed into a common lot that is at least 25-feet wide. In most cases this common lot should also contain the detached sidewalk required along all arterial roadways but in this case the sidewalk abutting this site will be built with the ACHD roundabout project. The submitted landscape plan and preliminary plat depict a 25 foot wide landscape buffer; the correct number of trees appear to be shown on the submitted landscape plans (see Section VIII.C). However, there is no landscape calculations table as required by code. The Applicant shall be required to submit revised plans that include a calculation table depicting the linear footage of the landscape buffers, the required number of trees, their common name and their scientific name, the class of tree, and the dimensions of the tree canopy at maturity; each type of shrub proposed to be used should also be included in the calculations table. stems-ftem theApplieantprepesing the water alld sewer mains near4,20feet apart within t right of way dietadHg that the everall easemeHt width will eHereaeh inte theficent yatW-s ef t the submitted laHd-seape 191aHs ean be eeHz9tr feted Z-.-th e leeations shown OR revise the 19repas water and sewer main laeations.to alleviate this issue by faeAeing the everall wid4h of A easentent. Common open space is required to be landscaped in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11- 3G-3E. The total square footage of common open space is not included because there is no Landscape Calculations table on the submitted landscape plans demonstrating compliance with UDC standards. However, Staff can graphically see that the open space lots are vegetated according to UDC standards. Still, the Applicant will be required to add a calculations table with the recommendation noted above and revise the landscape plan to show the addition of the mew between Lots 2-14, Block 2 as recommended by Staff. The proposed pathway located behind the homes and adjacent to the Tenmile Creek is also required to be landscaped with a tree every 100 feet per UDC 11-3B-12. However, the Applicant did not include a 5-foot wide landscape bed on either side meant for the required trees. The Applicant will need work with the irrigation district to obtain a license agreement to include at least S feet of landscaping on one side of this pathway. Otherwise, the Applicant will need to apply for Alternative Compliance with the Final Plat submittal so show an equal or better means of compliance with this requirement. J. Qualified Open Space (UDC 11-3G): A minimum of 10%qualified open space meeting the standards listed in UDC 11-3G-3B is required. According to the property size of 7.69 acres,the Applicant should supply at least 0.77 acres of qualified open space, or approximately 33,500 square feet. The applicant is proposing IM91 acres of open space,of which 2-.84 3.4 acres is shown as qualifying open space on the s4mitte revised open space exhibit(see Section VIII.D). Some of the area listed as qual,fying open space by the Applicant does not meet UDC standards due to their size not being at least 5,000 square feet or being near the 50'x 100'dimensions. Once this area is removed, the qualified open space proposed is 2.6897 acres, awn -&n '.��; the Applicant should revise the open space exhibit to correctly label the qualified open space removing Lot 23, Block 1, Lot 1, Block 2, Lot 4, Block 3, and Lot 3 Block 4. Page 15 Page 53 Item#5. The open space for this development is vastly made up of the Tenmile Creek easement(2.12 acres) and the arterial street buffers (19,281158 square feet of qualifying area).All of this area is qualifying but the Tenmile Creek will be left natural(no improvements)and will be a buffer and more of a visual amenity than usable open space for the development. Abutting the creek and generally mid-block, the Applicant is proposing an open space lot that is approximately 5,4-30700 square feet. This open space lot contains one set of the amenities and a micro path that connects the private street to the pathway along the creek. This open space lot and micro path offers a clear connection to one of the at her miere aMs in the development t a' the attached sidewalks throughout the development and an additional open space area centrally located within the development. mew beAfven Lots ' 14, Bleek '. In general, the Applicant has increased the usable open space areas throughout the site following the Commission's recommendation of denial and comments regarding a desire to have more usable open space. With the reduction in unit count and additional centralized open space, Staff finds the proposed open space not only in excess of code requirements but also an improvement from previous layouts. K. Qualified Site Amenities (UDC 11-3G): Based on the area of the proposed plat, 7.69 acres, a minimum of one(1)qualified site amenity is required to be provided per the standards listed in UDC 11-3G-3C. The applicant has proposed four(4)qualifying amenities in multiple locations: gazebos, seating around small plazas, climbing rocks, and walking paths. The proposed amenities exceed the minimum UDC requirements and Staff finds them to be applicable for a community of this kind due to the variety of activity levels they can accommodate. L. Fencing(UDC 11-3A-6, 11-3A-7): All fencing is required to comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-7. Fencing is shown on the landscape plan along the subdivision boundary and around the central open space lot along the western portion of the site but no other fencing is shown.Fencing shown next to any open space shall be open-vision or semi-private fencing per UDC requirements. According to the Applicant, the exclusion of fencing between homes is purposeful despite the homes being a for sale product. The Applicant intends for the open areas between homes to be a more shared space than what is normal within a subdivision. to ff'Y r..,,,m,iena Lien.to inehide Fencing is not required in these areas so Staff has no conditions regarding this. However, there should be open-vision fencing along the western edge of the pathway adjacent to the Tenmile Creek to ensure the safety ofpedestrians, especially children. Staff is recommending a condition of approval to show this additional fencing. M. Building Elevations(UDC 11-3A-19 I Architectural Standards Manual): The Applicant has submitted sample elevations of the attached,triplex, single-family homes for this project(see Section VIII.F). The submitted elevations show all two-story attached structures with two-car garages and ldenfiea finishing materials of wood and stone. In addition, the elevations show modern architecture designs with shed roofs, second story patios with glass railings, and stone accents that go the full height of the proposed homes. Staff has also not received elevations for the effe Page 16 Page 54 Item#5. detached homes but detached homes do not normally require design review; if the Commission or Council determine design review is needed for these detached units, Staff recommends an added condition to require the entire property obtain design review as a blanket condition. nor one duplexuni However, attached single-family homes require design review approval prior to building permit submittal and at that point, Staff will ensure compliance with the Architectural Standards Manual. The submitted elevations for the townhome units appear to meet the architectural standards but with the design review application for the site, the Applicant will be required show additional styles and colors for these units. In addition, Staff recommends the Applicant provide a different design for the units fronting on the recommended mew. VII, DECISION A. Staff: Staff recommends approval of the requested annexation and zoning with the requirement of a Development Agreement, and the preliminary plat, and p1mmed tMit developffle with the conditions noted in Section VIILA per the fmdings in Section IX of this staff report.

Because the property is not served by public local street streets and any public street would not be able to be extended to any adjacent property, the Director finds strict adherence to the UDC is not feasible and approves the request for the private streets to directly connect to S. Locust Grove Road, an arterial street. 2.
