Subject:RE: TM Creek Apartments - Phase 3
Hi Mike –
You’re correct in your interpretation.
Just to clarify on the pathways side, the note about a 10’ pathway on the north side of Ten Mile Creek was purely
optional.
No multi-use pathways are required per the PMP for this development. Pathway requirements have already been
addressed in this vicinity through the pathway along Ten Mile Creek that is either already existing, or will be
constructed, to a much higher standard than is typical for most developments.
I do appreciate planning staff ‘erring on the side of pathways’ so as not to miss any connection opportunities. That
being said, honoring the applicant’s request for deletion would return the pathway conditions closer to my original
intent.
Please let me know if there continue to be questions.
My apologies to all for any confusion.
Thank you,
Kim

are required for this development.”

Commission.pdf
Sonya,
With regard to the TM Creek Apartments Phase 3 staff report recommendation for approval, we concur—with
these exceptions:
FIRST – Conditions 4.h and 8, related to the proposed “internal 7’ sidewalk” \[first paragraph, page 5, application narrative\],
should be modified/deleted for these reasons:
- The concrete sidewalk is for internal project circulation on the north side of Tenmile Creek.
- It must be distinguished from the City-required 10-foot asphalt regional pathway located on the south side of
the creek within a “public pedestrian easement.”
Because the CUP Site Plan denotes the sidewalk at 8 feet rather than the narrative’s 7-foot reference, we propose
modification of Condition 4.h:
h. Widen the pathway sidewalk along the southern boundary of the site to 10-feet 8 feet.
Because the 8-foot sidewalk is for internal project circulation—and is not a regional facility for general public use—we
propose deletion of Condition 8 in its entirety:
8. Submit a 14-foot wide public pedestrian easement for the pathway along the southern boundary of the site
along the north side of the Ten Mile Creek in accord with Park’s Department requirements.
SECOND - Inasmuch as the “conditions governing development of governing property” from the recently approved Ten
mile Crossing DA state . . .
(1) Future development shall be consistent with the guidelines for development in the Ten Mile Crossing Design
Guidelines pertaining to land use, transportation and design; UDC standards; and design standards in the
Architectural Standards Manual, except for the deviations specified in this agreement.
. . . CUP Condition #9’s reference to the TMISAP is not applicable; thus, that condition should be modified as follows:
9. An application for Certificate of Zoning Compliance shall be submitted for the proposed project and approved
prior to submittal of building permit applications. Compliance with the design guidelines in the Ten Mile Interchange
Specific Area Plan and the design standards listed in the Architectural Standards Manual as applicable Ten Mile Crossing
Design Guidelines is required. See the Application of the Design Elements matrix on pg. 3-49 of the TMISAP for design
elements applicable to the proposed development.

Project Name: Ten Mile Creek Apartments File No: H-2021-0035 Date: 6.10.21
The following will be required for development of the proposed project:
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL- PATHWAYS
1. The project developer shall design and construct multi-use pathways consistent with the location
and specifications set forth in the Meridian Pathways Master Plan Map and Master Pathways
Plan Document Chapter 3). Any proposed adjustments to pathway alignment shall be
coordinated through the Pathways Project Manager.
2. No multi-use pathways are required for this development. If additional/enhanced amenities
are desired to achieve CUP Alt Compliance status, applicant could consider widening the
sidewalk along the north side of Ten Mile Creek to 10'. This would change its status to multi-use
athwa . Any pathway constructed in this area must be outside of the NMID access easement.
If multi-use pathway is desired, submit easement documentation to the Planning Division for
Council approval and subsequent recordation Prior to Certificate of Occupancy.The easement
shall be a minimum of 14' wide (10' pathway + 2' shoulder each side). Use standard City
template for public access easement. Submit all easement documents online through Citizen's
Access Portal or drop off(along with completed checklist)at Meridian Parks and Recreation.
3. Construct multi-use pathways per typical paving section(s) shown in the Meridian Pathways
Master Plan Chapter 3.
4. The owner (or representative association) of the property affected by each public access
easement shall have an ongoing obligation to maintain the multi-use pathway.
5. 6'high open vision fencing shall be installed between pathways and(live)water irrigation canals
and laterals as detailed in the Meridian Pathways Master Plan, Chapter 3, page 3-5. All other
fence details per UDC 11-3A-7.
6. Project developer shall be responsible for obtaining license agreement and other permission(s)
as required for constructing within irrigation district easements.
7. Should any discrepancy exist between these conditions of approval and the requirements of the
irrigation district,the developer shall work with Pathways Project Manager to achieve a pathway
design that meets both City and irrigation district objectives. City requirements as stated shall
not(nor are they intended to)override those of the irrigation district having jurisdiction over the
project area.
