Dear Clerks office,
Please attach this newsletter PDF copy to the Kingstown packet for future review by the Planning and Zoning
Commission and eventually the review by the Mayor and City Council as it contains information and links shared with
our Alpine Pointe neighbors. We tried to provide direction for answers to likely questions about the process in advance
by sharing your helpful City links, Land Use Cut sheets, City Code, and publications about Public Hearings.
Thank you, and have a great weekend!

Dear Alpine Pointe Neighbors,
There is a PUBLIC HEARING scheduled for Thursday, August 18 at 6:00 PM for the Planning
Zoning Commission at City of Meridian City Hall, 33 E Broadway Ave, Meridian ID 83646.
The application was approved for Hearing and the packet created on July 22, 2022.
This explains what this application entails, why we should be informed, why we should care
even if it isn't near our own homes and how to proceed in the process.
This is in reference Kingstown Subdivision Application for Annexation, Rezone, and
Preliminary Plat of 28 homes on 8.2 acres. R-8 zoning (Medium Density is R-4 and R-8) with the
majority of the housing product being two-story homes on 4000 SF lots with minimum widths
of 40 feet--this layout is a ratio of 3.24 to 1 against Alpine Pointe's smallest adjacent lot and
we are zoned R-4 with larger lots. Kingstown has 1.22 acres of qualified open space and avg. lot
size noted at 8530 SF yet they are using the larger estate and larger flank lots in the math to
buoy this size. Gross density is listed at 3.41 per acre, yet again they are using larger lots in the
math as most lots are 4000 SF.
The packet is accessible here Kingstown Subdivision AZ, PP H-2022-0045

There will be increased traffic as the stub streets are finished at Rogue River in Alpine Pointe,
Conley at the South in Champion Park, and Jasmine St. East to West will connect.
Upon weighing the data, looking over the information, and making up your own minds you
may choose to be involved in participating in the City process to get the best possible fit
adjacent to our neighborhood. You may not like the proposal, you may be neutral, or you
might like it.
Our chances for best success and opportunities to have your opinion heard would be
involvement via neighborhood participation, letter writing to City staff, P and Z
Commissioners, and Mayor and City Council. Your presence at the Hearings and Meetings at
Alpine Pointe Neighbors: Kingstown Hearing P and Z Commission, City of Meridian August 18, 2022 at 6
PM

Zoom options. Here is a link of the overview of the process as provided by the City Clerk.

Information prepared by the Alpine Pointe Neighborhood Outreach Committee
The applicants for KINGSTOWN SUBDIVISION are seeking R-8 Medium Density zoning with
the majority of the housing product being two-story homes on 4000 SF lots with minimum
widths of 40 feet--this layout is a ratio of 3.24 to 1 against Alpine Pointe's smallest adjacent
lot.
Alpine Pointe aka Zebulon Heights is zoned adjacent to Kingstown at R-4 Medium Low Density
with 8000 SF lot size minimums with 60 ft min lot widths, 15 foot min rear setbacks from the
property line, 5-foot side setbacks. R-8 zoning calls for 12' min rear setbacks, 4000 SF lot
minimums (.09 acres), with 5 foot min side setbacks. R-2 is 12000 SF lot, 15 foot rear setback
and 7.5 feet side setback per story.
The Kingstown proposal has 28 homes, 21 in Phase 1 at higher density intensity, all on a total of
8.2 acres. This plan in Phase 2 (right of heavy dashed line) shows a large lot to contain the
existing estate home on a smaller scaled parcel with 2 lots flanking it to the southeast and
northwest and 4 lots at approximately 11500 SF to the south. Delano lot sizes are
approximately 6000 SF at the shared border.

There will be increased traffic as the stubs at Rogue River in Alpine Pointe, Conley at the
South, and Jasmine St. East to West will connect and it may be appropriate to ask ACHID,the
applicants, and the City to require traffic mitigation at the onset via stop signs, speed
cushions, and so forth as it would allow for connectivity yet dissuade cut-through in keeping
local-traffic-local. Overview of the nearby properties east of Kingstown proposal below.

In RED below are the primary routes to mid-mile points, lights, and arterials on official ACHD
roads. Commercial private lanes exist in the commercial area, but they are not official ACHD
right-of-ways (ROW). The circular shape highlights the connection points in the Jasmine Ln 8.2

Another concern viewed by many is the likelihood of this being sought as a development
entitlement with more planned density coming in the future, as in Phase 1 is predominantly
the highest allowed density for R-8 Medium Density Zoning (take away just one square foot off
of the lots and it is automatically R-15 Medium High Density of 3999 SF ). Phase 2 could be
modified to match lot sizes to the west as it is seeking the R-8 zoning throughout the entirety
of the project in both Phase 1 and Phase 2. There are historic incidents of record at City Hall of
applicants coming forward to modify Phase plans, lot sizes, and development agreements.
This is a copy of a highest density use of the Jasmine parcel of 8.2 acres as shown as the City's
wish for the parcel, predominantly 4000 SF lots. This was provided by the applicant and it is
Alpine Pointe Neighbors: Kingstown Hearing P and Z Commission, City of Meridian August 18, 2022 at 6

interesting just how much of the west side is so very similar in the final proposal submitted to
the City. The eastern Phase 2 parcel could easily follow suit via another application and hearing
process to match density east'to'vvest.

R-4 designation seems tobe the most appropriate zoning post-committee analysis for this
application throughout and this application for Annexation, Rezone, and Preliminary Plat
Alpine Pointe Neighbors: Kingstown Hearing Pand ZCommission, City of Meridian August 18, 2022at6

should be recommended for DENIAL by Planning and Zoning Commission for City Council
decision, as City Council will be the final word.
We must remember this parcel was purchased three years ago for ultimate development as
the applicants have done this with other parcels in the past, and the buyers knew larger lots
were to the northern and southern borders at 12960 SF minimums and 10800 SF minimums
respectively, and our neighborhoods did not encroach onto this county enclave after the
purchase. There are acreage properties to the west. There should be an effort to match or
complement nearby lot sizes of homes that have been here for nearly a decade or longer.
