RE: Development Agreement Modification Application— Narrative Letter
Lavender Heights Subdivision H-2020-0090
Phase 4 — 2160 E. Lake Hazel Road, Meridian, Idaho
Dear Mr. Dodson:
We are pleased to submit the above referenced applications for the proposed Development Agreement (DA) Modification
on behalf of our client, LH Development, LLC. The intent of this letter is to meet the requirements of the Narrative to be
submitted with the subject application. The following is the requested information pertaining to the Development Agreement
Modification request:
Original Project Name: Lavender Heights Subdivision
Annexation/Rezone/Preliminary Plat file number: H-2020-0090
Date of City Council Approval of DA: May 12, 2020
Recordation date of DA & Instrument Number: August 18, 2020, Instrument Number 2020-106343
The reason for the requested DA Modification is to modify the housing product type on Phase 4 of the Lavender Heights
development from a multi -family product to a townhome development. The developer prefers the flexibility provided by
townhomes which can still be offered as rental units but can also be sold as individual residences. The proposed number of
units will be slightly reduced so we are requesting a change to the minimum number of units allowed. The proposed DA
modifications will only impact Phase 4 of the development.
The following are the proposed changes to the DA:
Section 5.1.a.
Future development of this site shall be generally consistent with the preliminary plat, landscape plan and conceptual
building elevations for the single-family dwellings included in Section VII and the provisions contained herein except as
follows: The Phase 4 multi -family concept plan shall be replaced with the Phase 4 Townhome concept incorporated into
this modified Development Agreement.
Section 5.1.b.
The 10- foot multi- use pathway shall be constructed with Phase 1 of the development, except for that area located in the
proposed future w,..' 1y Townhome development along the southern edge of the Farr Lateral, shown as Phase 4.
Section 5.1.e.
No more than 54 and no less than 3-9 30 units shall be allowed on the R-40 zoned property. Detailed Conditional Use
Permit approval is required prior to any development on the R-40 zoned area.

Section 5.1.f.
With the sale of all future homes in the Lavender Heights Subdivision, all sales information shall have language regarding
the future P+u4i4GP44V townhome project that will be a part of this development.
The proposed changes to the existing DA for the Lavender Heights Subdivision will still support the orderly development of
the City of Meridian in a manner consistent with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan. If you have any further questions or
comments, please contact me at 208-376-5153 or via email at mwall(a)-breckonld.com .
