Oakwind Estates No. 1
LOCATION: The site is located at 6180 W. McMillan ---
Rd, in the SW 1/4 of the SW 1/4 of Section +
28, Township 4N. Range 1W.
s
I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Final plat consisting of 91 townhouse lots,24 single family detached lots,2 common driveways and
16 common lots on 16.83 acres of land in the R-15 zoning district.
II. APPLICANT INFORMATION
A. Applicant/Representative:
Nicolette Womack, Kimley-Horn-950 W Bannock Street, Ste 1100.,Boise, ID 83702
B. Owners:
Oaks Build to Rent,LLC—4900 N. Scottsdale Rd, Ste 4900, Scottsdale,AZ 85251
III. STAFF ANALYSIS
In 2020,the property received approval of a preliminary plat and development agreement
modification to construct 94 single family lots and 92 townhouse lots(H-2020-0093,Instr. #2021-
046527). This is the first of two phases.
As a condition of approval of the Oakwind Estates Preliminary Plat,the Council required the north-
south oriented pathways shown south of W. Daphne St to be combined into one pathway of at least
30' in width, and a recreational amenity be provided at the intersection of the townhouse mews and
the pathway. The applicant has combined these pathways, and has provided an outdoor fitness area in
this location as required. This is indicated on the landscape plan.
Page 1
Page 128
Item#7.
ALTERNATIVE COMPLIANCE
The applicant has also submitted a concurrent alternative compliance application to deviate for the
standards in UDC 11-3H. UDC 11-3H states residential development along McDermott Road from
Chinden Blvd to 1-84 is required to provide noise abatement by constructing a berm or a berm and
wall combination a minimum of ten feet(10')higher than the elevation at the centerline
approximately parallel to W. McDermott Rd. The applicant's landscape plan does indicate noise
barrier fencing along N. McDermott Rd, although it does not have a variation in color or texture or
stagger every three hundred(300) linear feet as is required. The applicant requests alternative
compliance from this requirement.
UDC 11-5B-5 allows the director to grant alternate compliance from this requirement when explicit
compliance is not feasible or the alternative means is superior to what is required.
Requests for alternative compliance are allowed only when one(1)or more of the following
conditions exist:
a. Topography, soil, vegetation, or other site conditions are such that full compliance is impossible
or impractical;
b. The site involves space limitations or an unusually shaped lot;
c. Safety considerations make alternative compliance desirable;
d. Other regulatory agencies or departments having jurisdiction are requiring design standards that
conflict with the requirements of this article;
e. The proposed design includes innovative design features based on "new urbanism",
"neotraditional design", or other architectural and/or site designs that promote walkable and
mixed use neighborhoods;
f. Additional environmental quality improvements would result from the alternative compliance.
In order to grant approval for an alternative compliance application,the Director shall determine the
following:
1. Strict adherence or application of the requirements are not feasible; or
2. The alternative compliance provides an equal or superior means for meeting the requirements;
and
3. The alternative means will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or impair the
intended uses and character of surrounding properties.
The applicant has responded that there would be an additional environmental quality improvement for
granting the request. The wall as proposed is a steel type of fencing that will be more aesthetically
appealing as it is designed to look more like a fence than a traditional concrete or modular block wall,
however it is not engineered for staggering. The applicant notes this same style of wall was utilized
by the Oaks North and South Subdivisions.
The Director agrees that the style of wall proposed is more attractive than a concrete or block wall as
it resembles a fence. Also,this sound wall is proposed in combination with a 4 ft. tall landscaped
berm,which would provide additional visual relief. The Director finds the alternative compliance
provides an equal or superior means for meeting the requirements and will not be materially
detrimental to the public welfare or impair the intended uses and character of surrounding properties.
Page 2
Page 129
Item#7.
However, it is not clear on the landscape plan that berming is included. Staff recommends a condition
that this be clarified on the landscape plan prior to City Engineer signature of the final plat.
Staff has reviewed the proposed final plat for substantial compliance with the approved preliminary
plat in accord with the requirements listed in UDC 11-6B-3C.2. Because the final plat does not
increase the number of building lots and/or decrease the amount of qualified open space as shown on
the approved preliminary plat, Staff finds the proposed final plat is in substantial compliance with the
approved preliminary plat as required.
IV. DECISION
Staff recommends approval of the proposed final plat within the conditions noted in Section VI of this
report. The Director has approved alternative compliance from UDC 11-3H-D which requires noise
attenuating structures walls/fencing to have a variation in color or texture or stagger every three hundred
(300)linear feet.
