Final Plat consisting of 45 building lots and 5 common lots on 12.74 acres of land in the R-4 zoning
district. This is the third phase of the Whitecliffe Estates Subdivision.
II. APPLICANT INFORMATION
A. Applicant/Owner
Todd Amyx, 943 W. McMillan Road— 13967 W. Wainwright Dr, Suite 102,Boise ID 83713
B. Representative:
Shari Stiles,Engineering Solutions, LLP— 1029 N. Rosario St, Suite 100,Meridian ID 83642
III. STAFF ANALYSIS
The preliminary plat for this development was approved by City Council on 9/18/2018. The
preliminary plat consisted of 128 building lots and 10 common lots. The final plat for the first phase
of 45 lots was approved by Council on 4/23/2019. The second phase for 36 lots was approved by
Council on July 21,2020. This phase consists of 45 building lots and 5 common lots.Amenities
included with this phase include a 24,160 square foot park which includes two pathways and a
shuffleball court. This park is larger than what was approved with the preliminary plat.
Staff has reviewed the proposed final plat for substantial compliance with the approved preliminary
plat in accord with the requirements listed in UDC 11-613-3C.2. Because the final plat depicts less
building lots,and an increase in qualified open space as what was approved with the preliminary plat,
Staff finds the proposed final plat is in substantial compliance with the approved preliminary plat as
required.
Pagel
All development shall comply with the dimensional standards listed in UDC Table 11-2A-5 for the
R-4 zoning district and UDC Table 11-2A-6 for the R-4 zoning district.
IV. DECISION
Staff recommends approval of the proposed final plat within the conditions noted in Section VI of
this report.
