RE: Oakwind Estates Phase 1— Final Plat Application
Dear Planning Staff,
The Oaks Build to Rent LLC hereby applies for final plat approval of Oakwind Estates Subdivision
Phase 1, containing 16.82 acres, with 24 single family residential lots, 91 residential townhome lots, 2
common driveways and 16 common lots. The site is located at 6180 W McMillan Road (parcel number
S0428314960).
The preliminary plat was approved by Meridian City Council on January 5, 2021. This phase is in
conformance with the approved preliminary plat and all conditions of approval, except for two
conditions.
In the Development Agreement section 5.1.g. its states a recreational amenity shall be provided at the
intersection of the north -south site pathway and townhome mews. Due to space, grading, and site
continuity considerations, a qualified site amenity has been provided as shown on the Landscape Plan
rather than a recreational amenity.
Additionally, in the Public Works Department Site Specific Conditions of Approval 1.4 in the City of
Meridian staff report, a 2.8% slope is designed from SSMH TL-12 to the first new proposed manhole
rather than the 0.04% stated in the staff report. The existing sewer stub from SSMH TL-12 is believed
to be at 2.8% slope and the sewer pipe connecting to the stub is designed to match the existing slope
in conformance with standard engineering practice.
Phase 1 also meets all requirements and provisions of the UDC, except section 11-3H-4.D.1.c.2.
regarding staggering the noise abatement wall along McDermott Rd every three hundred (300) linear
feet, and was prepared in conformance with acceptable engineering, architectural, and surveying
practices and local standards. An Alternative Compliance letter is included with the Final Plat
Application describing our proposal for the noise abatement wall.
The property was annexed under Ordinance No. 08-004 and rezoned under Ordinance 13-015. The
applicant also entered into a Development Agreement, recorded as instrument number 2021-046527.
Please contact me at (208) 207-8477 or nicolette.womack(a-)_kimley-horn.com should you have any
questions.
