That the property included in the application for ASHFORD FINDINGS OF FACT & CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Page - 1 annexation and zoning is described in the application, and by this reference is incorporated herein; that the property is approximately 25 acres in size; it is located on the south side of Black Cat Road between Ustick and Cherry Lane; the parcel is part of a parcel of property that was annexed by the City over fourteen years ago that is intended to be developed into 225 single family lots and portions of the entire parcel of approximately 159 acres are reserved for a medium residential area. That the property to be annexed is only a small portion of the Applicant's entire proposed development. 3. That the property is presently zoned by the County RT (Rural Transition); that the Applicant has requested that the property be zoned R-4 Residential and stated that the use proposed would be for R-4 Residential development and a planned unit development. 4. The present land has been used for agricultural pursuits. The Applicant submitted a preliminary plat of the entire parcel and stated that they have a density of 2.85 dwelling units per acre; that the density was figured including the land that is going to be donated to the City for an additional portion of the golf course and medium density residential area calculated at eight dwelling units per acre; that the Applicant stated in the preliminary plat application that the minimum square footage of lots was 7,000 square feet as a planned unit development, that the minimum square footage of the structures was undetermined, that the dwellings would include single family, and townhouses, condominiums or ASHFORD FINDINGS OF FACT & CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Page - 2 ~ ~ cluster housing; that there would be a home owners association but no covenants were submitted; sprinkler systems would be provided; that all streets are proposed to be built to ACRD standards; and that the Applicant stated in the plat application that the value range would be $125,000.00 and up. That at the hearing the Applicant's representative stated that they wanted consideration as a planned unit development, that the golf course presented a significant amount of open space and that presented several considerations in terms of design that are different and unique, some of which were the length of the cul-de- sacs, lengths of blocks, approval of lots less than 8,000 square feet, length of street frontage not being 80 feet, and access to lots by private drives; that the representative kept referring to a planned unit development but no application for a conditional use to approve a planned unit development has been submitted and the land for the golf course addition would not be open for general use by the residents 5. That the property is adjacent and abutting to the present City limits. 6. The Applicant is the owner of record of the property. 7. That the property included in the annexation and zoning application is within the Area of Impact of the City of Meridian. 8.

ASHFORD FINDINGS OF FACT & CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Page - 3 9. There were no property owners in the immediate area that testified objecting to the Application. 10. City Engineer, Gary Smith, commented that there were many lots shown on the proposed preliminary plat that do not have 80 feet of street frontage, there were many lots that do not have 8,000 square feet, and that whether or not this project can be served by the City's existing water supply system will need to be determined through use of the water facilities model and that a new well may be necessary. That Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District commented that its water courses and easements need to be protected and recommended that irrigation water be made available to this development. 12. The Central District Department of Health, the Nampa Meridian Irrigation District, City Engineer, City Police Department, Idaho Power, Ada County Street Name Committee, U. S. West and City Fire Department submitted comments and such are incorporated herein as if set forth in full; that the Ada County Highway District and Meridian City Planner may submit comments and if it does those comments will be, and are, incorporated herein as if set forth in full. 13. That the property is shown on the Meridian Comprehensive Plan as being in existing urban area. 14.

That the R-4, Residential District is described in the Zoning Ordinance, 11-2-408 B. 3 as follows: (R-4) LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT: The purpose of the (R-4) District is to permit the establishment of low density single-family dwellings, and to delineate those areas where predominantly residential development has, or is likely to occur in accord with the Comprehensive Plan or the City, and to protect the integrity of residential areas by prohibiting the intrusion of incompatible non- residential uses. The (R-4) District allows for a maximum of four (4) dwellings units per acre and requires connection to the Municipal Water and Sewer systems of the City of Meridian."; that the R-4 zoning district requires a minimum of 1,400 square feet to be included in houses in that zone and a minimum lot size of 8,000 square feet. 18. That the Meridian Comprehensive Plan, under Land Use, Residential Policies, 2.1U states as follows: "Support a variety of residential categories (urban, rural, single-family, multi-family, townhouses, apartments, condominiums, etc.) for the purpose of providing the City with a range of affordable housing opportunities."; that the area surrounding the Applicant's property is developed, and is being developed with R-4 Residential; that Meridian has a substantial amount of land zoned R-8 and land used for apartments. ASHFORD FINDINGS OF FACT & CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Page - 5 ~ ~ 19. That the Meridian Comprehensive Plan, under Land Use, Rural Areas, 6.3 c., it states as follows: "Within the Urban Service Planning Area development may occur in densities as low as 3 dwellings per acre if physical connection is made to existing City of Meridian water and sewer service and the property is platted and subdivided . .' 20.

"1.4 The development of housing for all income groups close to employment and shopping centers should be encouraged." 22. That there is a population influx into the City of Meridian at the present time. which has been going on for some time and is likely to continue; that the land is relatively close to Meridian and economic conditions are making it difficult to continue farming in the area. 23. That the City Engineer has previously submitted comment in different applications that a determination of ground water level and subsurface soil conditions should be made; that such a ASHFORD FINDINGS OF FACT & CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Page - 6 ~ ~ comment is equally applicable to this Application. 24. That in prior requests for annexation and zoning in this area the previous Zoning Administrator has commented that annexation could be conditioned ~on a development agreement including an impact fee to help acquire a future school or park site to serve the area and that annexations should be subject to impact fees for park, police, and fire services as determined by the city and designated in an approved development agreement; that such comment is equally applicable to this Application. 25. The Meridian School District submitted comment in prior annexation requests, and such is incorporated herein as if set forth in full; its comment was that there is no excess capacity in the schools of the District and that residents of the new subdivision could not be assured of attending the neighborhood schools; the School District asked for support for a development fee or a transfer fee to help offset the costs of building additional schools. 26. That in 1992 the Idaho State Legislature passed amendments to the Local Planning Act, which in 67-6513 Idaho Code, relating to subdivision ordinances, states as follows: "Each such ordinance may provide for mitigation of the effects of subdivision development on the ability of political subdivisions of the state, including school districts, to deliver services without compromising quality of service delivery to current residents or imposing substantial additional costs upon current residents to accommodate the subdivision."; that the City of Meridian is concerned with the increase in population that is occurring and with its impact on the City being ASHFORD FINDINGS OF FACT & CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Page - 7 water, sewer, olice, emergency health care, able to provide fire, p recreation services to its current residents and to those parks and into the City; the City is also concerned that the increase moving tion is burdening the schools of the Meridian Schoo in popula which provide school service to current and future District s of the City; that the City knows that the increase in resident does not sufficiently increase the tax base to offse population water, fire, police, emergency health care, the cost of providing and recreation services; and the City knows that the sewer, parks •n o ulation does not provide sufficient tax base to increase i P P ide for school services to current and future students'ection prov and dir 27, That pursuant to the instruction, guidance, the City may impose either a of the Idaho State Legislature, ro erty, which, development fee or a transfer fee on residential P P dential lots would be retroactive and apply to all res if possible, welfare, and in the City because of the imperilment to the health, safety of the citizens of the City of Meridian. 28.

Section 11-9-605 G 1. states as follows: 29. That uired to be placed next to "Planting strips shall be req hways,•railroads, commercial incompatible features such as hig view from residential or industrial uses to sc shall be a minimum of twenty feet propertiae• andcshall not be a part of the normal street right ofOway or utility easement." Page - 8 ASHFORD FINDINGS OF FACT & CONCLUSIONS OF LAW 30. That Section 11-9-605 H 2. states as follows: "Existing natural features which add value to residen~_al development and enhance the attractiveness of the community (such as trees, watercourses, historic spots and similar irreplaceable amenities) shall be preserved in the design of the subdivision;" 31. That Section 11-9-605 K states as follows: "The extent and location of lands designed for linear open space corridors should be determined by natural features and, to lesser extent, by man-made features such as utility easements, transportation rights of way or water rights of way. Landscaping, screening or lineal open space corridors may be required for the protection of residential properties from adjacent arterial streets, waterways, railroad rights of way or other features. As improved areas (landscaped), semi- improved areas (a landscaped pathway only), or unimproved areas (left in a natural state), linear open space corridors serve: 1. To preserve openness; 2. To interconnect park and open space systems within rights of way for trails, walkways, bicycle ways; 3. To play a major role in conserving area scenic and natural value, especially waterways, drainages and natural habitat; 4. To buffer more intensive adjacent urban land uses; 5. To enhance local identification within the area due to the internal linkages; and 6. To link residential neighborhoods, park areas and recreation facilities." 32. That Section 11-9-605 L states as follows: Bicycle and pedestrian pathways shall be encouraged within new developments as part of the public right of way or as separate easements so that an alternate transportation system (which is distinct and separate from the automobile) can be provided throughout the City Urban Service Planning Area.

That the City of Meridian has authority to annex land pursuant to 50-222, Idaho Code, and Section 11-2-417 of the Revised and Compiled Ordinances of the City of Meridian; that exercise of the City's annexation authority is a Legislative function. 3. That the Planning and Zoning Commission has judged this annexation and zoning application by the provisions contained in Section 50-222, Idaho Code, Title 67, Chapter 65, Idaho Code, the Meridian City Ordinances, the Meridian Comprehensive Plan, as amended, and the record submitted to it and things of which it can take judicial notice. 4.

That proper and adequate access to the property is available and will have to be maintained; that the house size required in the R-4 District of 1,400 square feet must be met and that the lot size of 5,000 square feet must be met, unless Applicant applies for a variance from that requirement or submits a conditional use application for a planned residential unit development. 14. That the Applicant shall, as a condition of annexation determine the highest level ,of seasonal groundwater. 15. That these conditions shall run with the land and bind the applicant, the titled owners, and their assigns. 16.

As neighbors and fellow citizens of our community, we want you to know how disheartened we are with the growth that is occurring. Our wonderful farms aze turning into disconnected subdivisions. Where are the services needed to support the growing population? Where are the firehouses? Where are the emergency medical services? What is the status of our police protection? (Our Police Chief filled us in on the substandard ratios.) Where are the grocery stores and gas stations? Where aze the schools to accommodate the new population? Yes, we must address this hot issue. Our three children attend Linder School. One of them will attend class in a portable classroom this coming year. Are you and the citizens of Meridian prepazed to vote yes to another and another and another school bond and higher property taxes? Where aze the parks for us to take our three children to? My children enjoy the parks and recreation program at the beginning of summer. We frequent the Meridian Pool and by the way would like to see a family pass initiated there. We use the library regularly. Other than that we must take our children into Boise to play in parks. Specifically concerning the "Ashford Greens" development, it appears on the map to look so disconnected to Cherry Lane Village. It's like a puzzle that doesn't fit right. We aze particularly concerned about the medium density zoning for the area at the end of Interlachen Way where the clubhouse is currently located. This would make a great city park! At the least we would like to see it zoned for single family dwellings. We will be keeping an eye on this. In closing, we plead with you, our neighbors and fellow citizens, to re-evaluate where our community is headed. You must get tough on development. We urge you to say no until services can meet the state requirements. Sincerely, rV\ w ~~~~~ !~ I~GVV~.C.Q/J Gordon and Frances Mar lieux i ~~~ ~ ~J ~ I 1 GLEfJN J. RHOGES, President SHERRY R.

Explorer Dr., #200, Boise, ID 83704) (Engineer/Surveyor - Hubble Engineering, Inc., 9550 Bethel Ct., Boise, ID 83709) FACTS & FINDINGS: 1. Ashford Greens is a 154.7-acre, 225 single family lot, 216- unit medium density residential (townhomes), subdivision and addition to the the Cherry Lane Golf Course, located on the west side of Black Cat, north of Cherry Lane. There are 13,700-feet of new public streets planned. This application includes annexation by Meridian and subse- quent rezone from RT to R-4. A traffic study has been submitted and reviewed for this project. The results of which are incorporated into this report. 2.

Staff recommends that Ashford Boulevard be constructed to a collector standard with no front-on housing as shown on the preliminary plat. 4. There are 20-foot wide proposed landscape medians in the cen- ter of Ashford Boulevard. The face-to-face width of the street will need to be 20-feet, from median to curb. In addition, a face-to-face width of 24-feet will be needed for the out-bound lane on Ashford Greens to accommodate simultaneous turn lanes. The 24-width will be required from Black Cat Road to Roseberg Place. 5. The preliminary plat shows a stub street to the south which will align with the stub street (Golfview Way) from Golf View Estates. 6. Staff is concerned about the proposed private roads off of Runyan Place and Carver Place which connect to Black Cat. The applicant has indicated that the private streets will be paved as they are also sewer easements. It is undesirable for the District to have a private street that connect two public streets. Staff recommends that Runyan Place and Carver Place be reconfigured. 7. Staff recommends that a stub street be provided from Moon Lake Drive to the north property. line to be located between Lacoste - _ Way and Hennesy Place. 8. Moon Lake Drive is a long, continuous road. Staff would not object to the construction of road humps on this road (corrdinate with Traffic Services). 9. Interlachen Way stubs to the property boundary of this site in the southeast where multi-family dwellings are proposed. Staff recommends that a direct street connection not be al- lowed from Interlachen Way to Dawson Drive to eliminate the potential for cut-through traffic. Staff recommends that Interlachen Drive be terminated and a private road or driveway provide a circuitous connection for the townhome development to Dawson Drive. 10. The traffic study indicates that 100 vehicle trips per day will be travelling on Interlachen Way. Staff recommends that the site plan for the townhomes be reviewed and approved by /'~ PRELIMINARY PLAT - June 20, 1994 Page 3 Ashford Greens Subdivision staff to ensure a maximum of 100 vehicle trips per day on Interlachen Way. 11. Staff recommends that the main entrance for the 120 townhomes proposed for Lot 56, Block 20 be aligned with Lacoste Way. Staff recommends that the site plan for the townhomes be re- viewed and approved by staff. 12. This application was scheduled for public hearing by the Merid- ian Planning & Zoning Commission on June 14, 1994. SITE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS: 1. Dedicate 45-feet of right-of-way from the centerline of Black Cat Road abutting parcel (20 additional feet). The owner will be compensated for this additional right-of-way from available impact fee revenues in this benefit zone. 2. Direct lot or parcel access to Black Cat Road is prohibited, in compliance with District policy. Lot access restrictions shall be stated on the final plat. 3. Ashford Boulevard shall be constructed to a 62-foot street section with 20-foot wide medians and a 5-foot wide sidewalk. The outbound lane on Ashford Boulevard shall be 24-feet wide face-to-face from Black Cat Road to Roseberg Place. 4. Direct lot or parcel access to Ashford Boulevard is prohibit- ed, in compliance with District policy. Lot access restric- tions shall be stated on the final plat. 5. Reconfigure the two proposed cul-de-sacs of RunyanPlace and Carner Place to eliminate.. the connection of private streets. between two public streets. Corrdinate with District staff. 6. Provide a stub street from from Moon Lake Drive to the north property line to be located between Lacoste Way and Hennesy Place. 7. The site plans for Lot 56, Block 20, and Lot 5, Block 22, shall be submitted for staff's review and approval. 8. Interlachen Drive shall not connect with Dawson Drive. STANDARD REQUIREMENTS: 1.

Opposed? MOTION CARRIED: All Yea ITEM #18: PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR ANNEXATION AND ZONING WITH A PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR ASHFORD GREENS SUBDIVISION BY BOISE RESEARCH CENTER AND RUBBLE ENGINEERING: Johnson: A representative of the applicant or the applicant please come forward and address the Commission at this time. Mike Wardle, 9550 Bethel Court, Boise, was sworn by the City Attorney. Wardle: Mr. Chairman, I v~rould like to put up an item for Commission review, this is the same as was submitted in your packet and I believe you probably have all seen the large plat. l don't know how to do this so that the folks in the audience can see it. May I use the easel. Johnson: You can use the easel or Mr. Merkle will hold it for you. Wardle: It will be a little difficult for Mr. Crookston but hopefully we can refer to it and those in the audience might be able to see and understand it a bit as well. This is a long awaited project, it has been many years since the first nine holes of the golf course were developed. And as the subdivisions have gone along there is an sense of anticipation for the balance. And through the application that you saw recently from the Steiner Corporation for a portion of the area that lies just to the east of obviously what shows is just a couple of portions of holes. That is the means of implementation of these other nine hole segment of the golf course. There are 2 matters before the Commission this evening, and I would like to handout just for the simple clamcation of what those 2 matter are. One other, this is an excerpt from the zoning map. Johnson: I believe we have this, this was in our packet. Wardle: Yes, I don't know the history of why one small piece roughly 24 acres was not annexed previously because it was under an ownership that we researched the ordinances for annexations to the south and to the north and for whatever reason there was that small, approximately 600 foot strip of land that was not annexed. The balance has been annexed and is currently zoned R-4. The request that we have made if for R-4 as well. However, we are also requesting consideration and approval of this project in preliminary plat form with the consideration as a planned unit development for a number of stated reasons and the letter of May 14, 1994 which I hope was in your packet. Essentially in Meridian Planning & Zoning June 14, 1994 Page 28 looking at this project as a PUD certainly there is a significant amount of open space for the golf course and that commitment has lead to several considerations in terms of design that are different and unique. I did see some comments that Mr. Smith had provided to the Commission that we had not seen before this evening that address several areas of variance I think would be the term, but 1 hope we are here to consider as a PUD the acxeptance of these different standards and not have to go through a separate procedure. The more obvious in terms of the normal design criteria is the length of a culdesac. In a golf course situation we have a number of culdesacs obviously that are there that are intended not to completely bisect or cut through the golf course with too many roadway connections. And so we do look at this as a bit of a unique situation and believe that consideration is due for those types of items as well as Mr. Smith's comment about the length of blocks. Certainly as a PUD or a project of this type it vwuld be difficult to conform to all aspects of the subdivision code. As a PUD development we have requested approval of lots less than 8,000 square feet and as my letter indicated there is only one that we had laid out on the plat that was less but in the final design as we provide #hat open space for the golf course we may find some areas where there may in fact be a few lots of less than 8,000 square feet but we are not significantly considering a large area of such. The more significant waiver would be that of the minimum 80 foot frontage. We do have a number of lots that were noted in Mr. Smith's comments to you that a number of them are less than 80 feet not significantly smaller but there are in the 70, 80 foot range a number of parcels. There are several flag lots, only 3 actually identified. And there are some lots we have proposed for access via private drives and those private drives also serve as secondary access for emergency vehicle purposes as well as utility corridors. In addition then we would be looking for detached sidewalks particularly along the street that we call Ashford Boulevard and that being the one that goes into the center to the clubhouse area. There is one item that I vwuld bring to your attention that is different than the plat that we submitted, and it came as a result of continuing discussion between the Brighton Corporation and the Boise Research Center who owns segments of this but are the same, involve some of the same ownership and the Steiner Corporation and that relates to the Clubhouse area. The area just north of the clubhouse 1 will step away from the microphone for just a moment to point this out. WE had originally shown parking lot .area just north of the clubhouse. We, in meeting with the Steiner Corporation and with the golf course designer concluded that we can through some working of the clubhouse location which is really not part of this plat. It falls off their property but it is part of the city ownership and we are under obligation to assist in resolving that. Anyway, some changes that are forthcoming relate to that part of the subdivision. There would be space for probably an additional 4 lots, single family lots that would be proposed for this area. Steiner Corporation has lots contiguous to this on their subdivision plat and we would propose to do that and request that any action to approve acknowledge that there may in fact be 4 additional lots that are not shown on the plat as submitted that are coming about because of clubhouse consideration. So, in basic summary, we are requesting annexation Meridian Planning & Zoning June 14, 1994 Page 29 of that parcel, the 24 acre parcel with an R-4 zone. We are requesting your recommendation to the City Council as quickly "as possible on the plat so that we can proceed to construction plans and final platting in order to get this project under development. The issue here so that the City can begin construction of the golf course. And we also as part of that recommendation ask that the elements of the planned unit development be specifically noted and approved for recommendation. There are a couple of comments that Mr. Smith had made that I would like to address and again, do you have his comments in your packet. I don't have them but I took notes and would respond with just areas of clarification or acception. Item #2, he asked about the design standards for Ashford boulevard, what we are proposing would be a 12 foot islands down the entire length as noted on the plat. With a 21 foot back to back roadway section on either side and that conforms to the Ada County Highway District requirements for a collector standard with a separated travel way. There would be orf the sides of those probably a 15 foot landscape buffer in areas where there are lots and not golf course where there is a golf course, since that would be city ownership there would not be a buffer lot. That greenway would extend to the right of way. He does note in item #3 concern for the islands in the culdesacs those are not (End of Tape) the culdesac islands as he noted may cause some difficulty with the fire department. We will vuork with Mr. Smith to come up with a standard for those so that they work for all parties concerned. Item #6 is one that does cause some concern and there are some solutions. Interlachen Way as you are aware does extend to this property and currently provides access to the club house. The traffic study has been completed and was submitfed to staff last week and a very brief meeting was held last Friday with Shari Stiles the trafi•ic analyst for Ada County Highway District and the consultant that did the traffic study. The concern about- having a direct and easy connection of Interlachen into the heart of that project is that it would in fact serve as literally the drain for the project. Now it is desirable to have access to the clubhouse for residents in the area and there are 3 such connection points, again let me step to this for a moment. The Golf~ew Estates subdivision to the south, it appears on our vicinity map that wee provided to Shari Stiles last week that maybe we missed it by a lot, but it is either here or it is over one lot and that will be connected. We used a preliminary plat and scaled it and apparently on or the o#her was not quite correct. But there is a connection those does come back to Interlachen, there would be then connections around through the Steiner, property that tie into the existing roadway system. Interlachen Mr. Chairman is right here. Now, what is intended or proposed is that there would be access into what may be a town house or condominium project from both sides and there would be fire access through it by perhaps some controlled means. We have not proposed a direct roadway connection. If it is required, there is a way that we could do it but it would be very circuitous and we would make as difficult as wee possibly could again for the purpose of not draining all of this project through Interlachen since all of the homes on Interlachen face that street even though it was constructed to collector standards. I don't know that it is in the City's interest to make that an easy connection or the most direct connection. I think Meridian Planning & Zoning June 14, 1994 Page 30 we can disperse the traffic and the traffic study does suggest that if we keep these types of connections somewhat restricted. Rountree: Why do you not have that same concern for Harbor Point Drive? Wardle: ft is more circuitous internally and would not be the same direct shot that. Rountree: !t is a direct shot to Ten Mile Wardle: Well, I believe it comes down around and then it makes a connection and then a T intersection, f'd have to refresh my memory. Johnson: That is Charile's backyard. Wardle: In part we don't control that one the same way we do the others. That is the connection out of our adjacent project and has been anticipated for in earlier plans a number of years ago. Mr. Smith's comment item #7 did address the same statement that I made earlier about the 80 foot frontages. He asked the question, that there is a great deal of open space land given to the City for the golf course and we believe that some trade offs are essential and having a lot that may be in the 70's rather than in the 80's certainly is not going to diminish the qualities of life but it does afford a bit better return on the number of parcels which were shown as 225 single family parcels in the preliminary plat. I believe all of the other comments in Mr. Smith's are items that can be worked out or have already been addressed and provided to staff and we will certainly make sure those are done. k Johnson: What are the approximate length of the culdesacs specifically the one there to the southwest? Wardle: I did not bring a scale, Gary do you have a scale because I haven't memorized the lengths. Johnson: In terms of our ordinance it is 450 length, it reburies a variance beyond that. I just wanted to get an idea how far we are stretching that in terms of emergency response and that sort of thing. It looks to me like the other one might exceed that if it scales out, I don't know. Wardle: There are at least 3 that so Mr. Chairman, the 2 to the north I believe both exceed 450 feet and certainly the one to the south. Johnson: Did you have a comment with respect to Gary Smith's. suggestion there that a Meridian Planning & Zoning June 14, 1994 Page 31 stub street to the north be provided? Wardle: We saw this, a stub street (inaudible) be provided, but 1 understand that there has been one required just to the east from the Steiner property. Certainly if the City and the Ada County Highway District feel that it is necessary and appropriate I am certain that we will do so. Johnson: Why don't you just point out the Steiner property for me. It is there where nothing is, just a blank piece of paper. Wardle: Mr. Chairman, I believe you have at least addressed, I don't know if you approved the preliminary plat for their project but I believe it was submitted and is preceding us perhaps by a month. May I just ask one clarification, and it does relate to, does the City Planning & Zoning Commission have the authority under the PUD approval for consideration of the reduction of lot frontages, the culdesac lengths and so forth, it is unclear to us. Johnson: Well, our City Council will answer that, I don't know if we have the approval or not, but we make recommendations and suggestions to the City and they have final say. Do you want to comment on that Mr. Crookston? Crookston: I believe that I haven't looked at the PUD sections of our ordinance recently, but I believe that under the PUD theory that is available it depends on. Johnson: I think that is one of the reasons for a PUD. Crookston: It is. Rountree: (Inaudible) privately owned streets still have to meet ACHD's requirements. Wardle: Yes, we understand that. One last plea Mr. Chairman, the plat itself, the first phase that will be proposed for development and I would like to hand this item out is does highlight that area. I have identified the portion that is subject to annexation and zoning the balance of it being zoned currently, we would request prompt action to pass on the recommendation for the preliminary plat with a recommendation to City Council so that we can proceed to final platting and construction design for the highlighted area in the greenish-yellow that will be the first phase. I don't know, uncertain as to whether or not since the annexation and zoning does not affect that area that it has to go as one package or if it can be separated and that the findings of fact and conclusions of law for that annexation and zoning portion would follow or if perhaps they might be prepared and provided to the Commission for your 23rd of June meeting. We would certainly request n Meridian Planning & Zoning June 14, 1994 Page 32 consideration of that. I would be happy to answer questions. Johnson: I think the possibility of the June 23rd meeting is out because it is a special meeting and we have to give proper notice and advertising of that meeting. Any questions of Mr. Wardle? Rountree: Who is going to maintain the landscape buffer on Ashford Boulevard? Wardle: There will be a homeowners association created to take care of all of those common areas that are not part of the golf course. Rountree: I assume this in combination of the adjacent plat that is process we have 9 complete holes of golf? Wardle: Mr. Chairman, Mr. Rountree, yes, we hope that there will be 9 complete holes. The course has been reviewed for many months with City officals and Wally to assure that it is compatible. It actually is enhanced a bit with slightly wider fairways, and spray areas than the existing course, but not changing the character so dramatically that is like playing night and day and creating a problem for desired play on one 9 versus the other. Mr. Chairman, one thing that I did not address and I won't take much time, but there are 2 parcels as noted that will be subject to resubmittal in the future with some specific development plan. That is the 2 golden parcels, town houses or condominiums, bu# are shown so you are aware of possible plans that are forthcoming. Johnson: Thank you very much, apparently Mr. Crookston has a question. Crookston: Mike, on the handout that you just gave us that is marked in greed and pink, which is the area that is to be annexed, I didn't follow that? Wardle: The area in the pink is that that is being annexed. Rountree: How many phases and what is your time line? Wardle: I suspect that Mr. Turnbull, President of the Brighton Corporation, Vice President of the Boise Research Center that have the 2 ownerships will address that. We desire to start yesterday, realizing that can't happen, I don't know how many phases there will be, but certainly a few as it goes through. But I do not honestly know how many. Rountree: How does the phasing of the golf course come in with the establishment of the subdivision? .~ Meridian Planning & Zoning June 14, 1994 Page 33 /'~ Wardle: Mr. Chairman, it is my understanding that the golf course properties will be deeded to the City and even though developmebnleofotstart dev lo'pment'and construrction may come along the fine that the City ~nnll be a of the golf course this fall. Hepper: I had another question for you to, it kindo r cpo~er t about those?were referring to about the medium density areas, what was y Wardle: They will be subject to a submittal of a specific project in the future that would require design and approval of either a town house or condo project or a plat whatever is applicable so those will come back to you in some format in the future. Hepper: That wouldn't be part of this right now? Wardle: It is simply acknowledgement that they are as part of this PUD knowing that it is subject to future approval. Johnson: Just for the record and f cn ncle then f the cou se diffe s greatly, n the second I am for night and day. I have a nine. Wardle: It will be different. Johnson: This is a public hearing, anyone else from the public like to address the Commission at this time? Mark Janiziek, 26 North McDermot Road, was sworn by the City Attorney. Janiziek: Mainly I have a concern, is a question more than testimony, I farm the ground right across the road and our right of way for our delivery of our water comes right through the middle of that. I was just wondering what they have proposed for the right of way for the water coming through there? Johnson: Our ordinance would require of course the access to be mein~taiSe ~ tt~e golf that those ditches be tiled. athas been addressedlhas {? anance b course or not, I don't think th Janiziek: How about the route for where the ditch will go, do you have any idea. What is the plan for the ditch, is there any? Johnson: I don't specially know that, I don't know if the developer knows that, if that is Meridian Planning & Zoning June 14, 1994 Page 34 your question we will have them address that and also get Gary Smith's comments before you leave. Do you have any other questions. Janiziek: Yes, another #hing too, I farm that on the other side of the road and we plan on keep farming it there and what them to be aware that there will be aerial application and regular farming practices going on across the road there. I would like them to be aware of that. Another thing I have a concern with, when they get into these construction projects and (inaudible) they have all kinds of wrapping materials and stuff that is scattered out there and when we get ready to farm we have to get a crew and start picking trash before we can start farming. I think they do a little better of a job keeping things cleaned up around there and letting things just blow over there onto our property. Johnson: That is a good point and it a continuing problem, it is the responsibility of the developer to keep that Gean. If you have a problem with that I would suggest you call Mr. Berg at the City because we do have complaints in that area frequently. Anything else? Janiziek: That is all I have. Johnson: Anyone else from the public? Dean Langley, 3185 North Black Cat Road, was sworn by the City Attorney. Langley: Mr. Chairman, members of the commission, Mr. Janizek has addressed a lot of issues that were on our minds as well. Our family is operating as Langley Farms Partnership does own the 100 acre parcel directly to the west across the road on Black Cat. I also wanted to reiterate from his comments, we plan on a foreseeable future to operate that as productive farmland and in addition to his comments about application of herbicides and pesticides, seeing the recent conflict in Caldwell las# year on bailing hay and so forth, I know that there may be noise at various hours of the day and night. Of course vye don't have any objection to the development of the property as proposed tonight but we do want to go on record as the fact that there will be machinery equipment on the roadways and operating in the fields at different times during the day and or night. Also, there will be dust, and subject to prevailing winds which is from the northwest which will blow into the proposed development at times. The issue of the water supply was mentioned previously as well, I did have the opportunity to meet briefly with Mr. Turnbull last and they are seeming amenable to work out the particulars with route subject to ordinances that you deal with and also the irrigation company and also our needs and logistics there and of course Mr. Janizek's approval as the operator of the farm ground that rents that from us. In conclusion, the issue of weed control, t was pleased to see that the BRC in this last week have the weeds disced down, better late than never, it looks a lot better. (Inaudible) such a large tract of land that since they are only going to be /"~ Meridian Planning & Zoning June 14, 1994 Page 35 developing part of that, that there be a reminder or a statement about what ever your regulations or mandate for the type of zoning that is there that there be some attempt at weed control, and keeping the height down. I understand from conversation with the Weed control here that there are spots of noxious weeds on the property as well as other non-noxious v~eds. And we spend quite a bit of money every year to keep weeds under control on the west side there so we would appreciate some help that way. I know the previous individual that farmed that had done a real good job of keeping that clean prior to this time. That concludes my remarks. Johnson: Thank you very much, we appreciate your comments and I think it is wise to get those on the record regarding agricultural exposure and your continuing desire to do that. What is your, you say you have 100 acre to the west, (inaudible) or where does your property actually come in on that diagram. Langley: Just the part that is shown here of course, but the property would start approximately right here and on north to Ustick Road. Johnson: Is Mr. Janizek to the south then? Langley: No, he farms that ground for the family. Johnson: Thank you very much, anyone else from the public? David Turnbull, 12301 West Explorer Drive, Boise, was sworn by the City Attorney. Turnbull: Since my name was evoked a few times I thought I would get up here and give you the opportunity to ask any questions. To give a little bit of a background on what we have done here, we have been working on this project for quite some time. As you know there was a previous concept plan approved for this project 15 or 20 years ago. When we got involved in the project vue did take a look at the existing golf course layout and weren't comfortable with it and we did go outside to outside consultants and hire a golf course architect and this is the plan that they have come up with. It has been reviewed with the Mayor, with certain members of the Council, Max Yerrington in particular and Wally. We feel like what vue have here is a great improvement, in fact the original acreage I think that was designed into the golf course was somewhere around 25 acres, I think we are closer to 50 to 55 acres that is being dedicated for golf course grounds. The fairways are wider, the spray zones are wider, I don't think it is just a slight difference, 1 mean we don't want to drastically alter the ambiance of the course but we want to certainly make it more playable and more enjoyable to play. That was our goal when we started this project, it has taken us quite some time to get all of these details worked out. We has hoped we had it in and ready to go sooner. I know that the Mayor is anxious to start turning dirt on the golf Meridian Planning & Zoning June 14, 1994 Page 36 course as we are anxious to deed the ground over to him so that he can do that. So anything we can do to help expedite that so we can get approval on a plan so we can go forward and deed the ground to the city for the golf course I think would be appreciated by us as the developer and by the City. I think we would all like to see this project move forward as quickly as possible. I wasn't quite clear Mr. Chairman as to your comment on the 23rd, is there an advertising requirement for that meeting. Johnson: Yes, according to our City Clerk we wouldn't have sufficient time to get it on the June 23rd meeting because it is not a regularly scheduled meeting it is a special meeting and we would have to properly advertise it. Tumbull: You have to advertise findings of fact? Crookston: No, just the meeting. Berg: The agenda of the meeting. (Inaudible) Tumbull: Tv-ro times, it would have to be advertised 2 Fridays. Johnson: The paper is actually printed on Tuesday, it comes out on Friday. I didn't know that until the other day either. Turnbull: Well, basically that is where we have come on the project, I appreciate the concerns of Mr. Janizek and Mr. Langley concerning the fact tha# they farm to the west. Fortunately the prevailing wind is from the west so if the trash blows it shouldn't blow into their farm but the dust from their farm will blow into, and we understand those issues and we understand the issue of conveying water and we will do that. It may not be along the existing route but it will get to their property and we will not impede the flow. Johnson: Any questions of David? Crookston: Can you give me some kind of idea of what kind of homes are going to be constructed? Turnbull: I would say these are probably going to be in, and I have a hard time pinning down exact dollar values but the lot prices I imagine are going to be started near $30,000 and going up into the mid-40's. You are talking about a multiplier of 5 times, so we are probably talking between $140,000 and $200,000 plus homes for the single family homes. Rountree: How about the condos and townhouses? Meridian Planning & Zoning June 14, 1994 Page 37 Tumbull: Well, the condos and townhouses are I think one of the reasons, we are going to be designing something for the retirement community out there. t don't know that there is much that the market, those people have been served and those older retired people who plan to golf like to congregate the golf course, so we would like to provide something in that type of a market where they can get rid of their maintenance headaches on a yard and enjoy a golf course setting. I don't have any specific plans right now and obviously we will be providing those for your approval. But that as we look at that area around there it is typically all single family homes. tf we can provide a place for the retired people that is a benefit, places less of a strain on schools and they typically make good neighbors as long as they don't get to crotchety. Johnson: Any other questions for Mr. Turnbull? Rountree: Do you have any problems with taking Harbor Point coming in from the west and flipping it up around and then back into the subdivision and providing a culdesac or stub street into the parking lot and the clubhouse and eliminating the through access. Tumbull: I will step over to the board and see if I interpret you correctly. Flipping this and culdesacing this? Rountree: Yes, it doesn't look like you would lose any lots. Tumbull: I would discuss it, I think it has been designed that way by number one the golf course designer, and number 2 i think there are going to be certain people on the Commission I don't know but certainly on the Council that may object to that. I am not opposed to looking at it, but. Rountree: Well, I just find it tough that you are arguing to not bring Interlachen through, is that you will drain the subdivision through that. And it is okay to drain it out through an existing subdivision to the north. Tumbull: That wasn't our argument that was the argument of Ada County Highway district. I understand where you are coming from, I am not opposed to looking at it, but there is probably going to be a variety of opinions on it. Rountree: No doubt. Johnson: Thank you, any comments from City Staff, Gary Smith or Shari Stiles? Not at this time. Anyone else from the public before I close the public hearing? Seeing no one then I will close the public hearing. We have annexation and zoning and a preliminary plat. Meridian Planning & Zoning June 14, 1994 Page 38 Rountree: Mr. Chairman, 1 will make a motion that we have findings of fact and conclusions of law prepared for this recommendation by the City Attorney. Hepper: Second Johnson: We have a motion and a second to have the City Attomey prepare findings of fact and conclusions of law for the Ashford Greens subdivision, all those in favor? Opposed?

And of course St. Luke's is kind of leading the charge as, I don't know how many feet are involved off the top of my head, but it is a pretty good sized project. Shearer: Are the City's funds going to be re-cooped on late hook up fees. Smith: Yes Hepper: How is the capacity at the sewer plant for this project? Smith: That was one of my comments, I don't really know what to expect in terms of flow either sewer wise or water demand. So, those are 2 things that need to be investigated when we have some information available that we can use to enter into our computer models for both sewer and water systems to make sure that we don't have a problem with the capacities. The water system may need to be looped back to the west on Overland Road, there is a well out there in the adjacent area that Ed Bews owns that I understand he is agreeable to discuss sale of that well or gift of that well. I am not sure what the discussion would be like, but nevertheless there is a well with fairly good capacity in the immediate area that the City at least initially would be interested in. Johnson: Thank you Gary, anything to add to that Mr. Forrey? Okay, I will close the public hearing if I haven't already done it. Any comments or discussion? Rountree: Mr. Chairman I move that we have the City Attorney prepare findings of fact and conclusions of law on the requested conditional use permit.

And install pressurized irrigation system as a condition of annexation. And that the applicant meet all of the ordinances of the City of Meridian, specifically including the development time requirements and enter into the required development agreement.

Hepper: So the actual density may be different. Alidjani: That is right, a potion of the density of that area as it develops is going to be different than some other area. Also my understand on the telephone conversation that Wayne Crookston today is they are actually somewhat asking for R-4 and it should meet all the criteria of an R-4, but on the other hand they are really asking for R-8. Hepper: I guess I am really confused on what we are doing here. Johnson: Well, you brought up some interesting information, now what do you want to do with it? Crookston: The concern that I had in preparing the findings was certainly in large part addressed on the application for the preliminary plat because in their in the density statement it states that there are if I remember the numbers correctly, 215 tots I assume shown on the plat and then there is an additional t believe, as I remember the total number of residential dwelling units on the subdivision approval application was 441 and that they were using an acreage of 159 acres to determine a density of 2.85. But that includes all the land that is being donated by someone else to figure out the density that is not being built on. So, I questioned whether or not the actual density set forth in there of 2.85 is correct. It seems to me that if you take out the golf course property it is going to be substantially greater than 2.85. That was my concern with the density that was set forth in including land that was going to be used for golf course that is being donated by a third party. Johnson: Do you feel that the possibility that the density will exceed the R-4? Crookston: 1 don't know that, because it was figured at 2.85 with including the total area of 159 acres. Johnson: So, no one has put a scale to it. Crookston: I did not do a preliminary investigation of that. Johnson: I think that is an important point. On that preliminary plat what are the sizes of the lots that are shown? Crookston: It states in the preliminary plat application that they are in the nature of 7,000 square feet. Meridian Planning & Zoning June 23, 1994 Page 29 Johnson: Barely over the 6500 and not enough for the R-4, the R~ is 8,000. Crookston: There are many lots that do not have 80 foot of frontage, they addressed this in their presentation. Johnson: I understand that, but I personally wasn't aware that the land was donated by another party. I just can't take any public testimony at this time, we would be glad to talk to you when we are through here. Crookston: The deed has already been accepted by the City for that golf course property. Johnson: Well, I think we have a responsibility to bring up our observations and information that we have and so that the City Council is aware that we are aware and everyone else is aware. We work within the framework that the ordinance is written and it is not our position to make concessions. Rountree: I have unanswered questions in my mind that I would like to see it tabled and get some of those questions answered. How the applicant is going to propose a development there that is going to meet an R-4 zoning requirement. I don't see how we can pass it onto to the City otherwise. Shearer: A question I has too is are we committing ourselves to these 2 pieces of property that are set up for higher density or by approving this are we committing ourselves to higher density down the road. Johnson: That is the section there that is designated for future townhouse development. Shearer: There were 2 sections and they were presented as not a part of this but I wonder if we are kind of getting ourselves in a position where later on we will be forced to accept that without hearing it. And if that is the case we should consider if that is what we want to do now. Rountree: Well, in fact they were preliminary platted as an R-S but no detail in terms of lot size or, it was presented as a PUD in those sections and encompassed by the preliminary plat. Crookston: I believe there is a statement in the application for preliminary plat that those land areas are reserved for higher density, as best I remember that was the wording used on the application for preliminary plat. Hepper: Through a conditional use permit. Meridian Planning & Zoning June 23, 1994 Page 30 Crookston: No, just says they were reserved. Rountree: That is how the plat would be approved, .that is how we would recommend approval of the plat if we were to do that. Hepper: It seems like someone stated they would be back to us for a conditional use permit at such time they were ready to something with those pieces of property. Shearer: They did say they would be back with a PUD for those at such time that they are going to develop, but if we approve the plat we may put ourselves in a position where we can't come back and refuse. That is what I am concerned about that we are not even considering those things at this time and then when they come back they will already be set up for higher density and if we decide at that time that we don't want higher density in their we are already committed. So, maybe we should be considering do we want higher density in those areas. Hepper: There is also a risk that the developer may not want to take is not knowing, he is working under the assumption that we will accept those at a higher density and if we don't it may jeopardize this whole project. 1 would prefer to have an answer on those before I proceed. Johnson: Any further discussion? Rountree: Mr. Chairman, I will move that we table recommendation for the preliminary plat until our next regularly scheduled meeting, I believe it is July 12th, provided that the developer can answer. the questions of advancing this proposal with a variance, a conditional use permit or redesigned to make the plat consistent with our R-4 zoning. Hepper: Second Johnson: We have a motion and a second, is there any further discussion? All those in favor of the motion? Opposed? MOTION CARRIED: All Yea Johnson: Is there anything else before the Commission tonight? Rountree: I second your opening comments, we have to get a handle on that someway. Johnson: Yes we do, there have been proposals made in terms of numbers. I am personally not in favor of that, because that is kind of the quota approach. Because some Meridian Planning & Zoning June 23, 1994 Page 31 projects will take 2 or 3 days others will take 2 or 3 hours to work on. I don't think we can limit the number of applications to a specific number I think we just need a better handle on what is before us so that the information that we have to rely upon is in our hands at a minimum of 24 hours prior to our meeting and ideally 3 days. That last hour or at the time of the meeting is just insufficient, we just can't react properly and do the service that we are here for the public. Does anyone have any comments on that? Rountree: I agree, we are not getting sufficient time and I am not sure staff is either because we are continuing this embracing development and trying to be good guys. I think staff should develop some kind of a procedure to screen applications initially. If an application isn't complete on the last day that it is eligible to come in here than it should not be scheduled. Let it be bumped off the list until at least a minimum the next regularly scheduled meeting to give the staff an opportunity to tell the developers that you need this, this and this and if I don't get it by this date it is not going to get scheduled for the next meeting. So they have an opportunity to provide us their comments as well. Johnson: I think we have been very accommodating, we have held special meetings now for several months in a row in order to accommodate some of those things and keep the time frame short as possible. On the other hand I don't think we are doing the quality work that we should be doing because of fate receipt of information. Hepper: No, I think that getting a preliminary plat here at the meeting at one of these particular items is just Johnson: There is no way that you have sufficient time to do a good job. Hepper: Well, to look at it when we are right in the middle of the meeting, they hand us a revised plat. Johnson: I think we got our comments on record, I think this Commission should have some input if there are some guidelines set and some rules put down as to dates of submission, cut off dates, etc. Rountree: ~ had a question for Wayne on that, the City can establish any kind of guideline they want, can't they, do they have to go through an ordinance process? Crookston: Well, I have indicated to Will that I am going to check that out and see what we can and cannot do. Rountree: If it takes an ordinance fine, but if the City can establish guidelines let's get going on it. ~ /'~ Meridian Planning & honing June 23, 1994 Page 32 Johnson: I would hope we could do it on the guideline basis so that it would be flexible and we could change it more regularly other than have to go through the ordinance process and change an ordinance. It take a long time to do that. Hepper: Are we going to continue to have meeting twice a month? Johnson: I don't have a crystal ball but it is (inaudible) because we are not here until 1:00 in the morning, a smaller agenda. It is fair for us and the public that has to sit though long meetings. On the other hand we are not always available for the other meetings, and the difficulty I have had is trying to pick a date so that everyone can be here and we can have a quorum and go through that agenda for that evening. Hepper: The alternative would be to take them on a first come first serve basis and just limit them to a certain amount and certain time frame and if we can't get them in that meeting then they wait until the next one. Johnson: Well, we all know we can't gage the length of the meeting based on the number of items there is no way of doing that. Smith: Mr. Chairman, Commission members, first of all I want to apologize personally for the late arrival of some of the comments. 1 sympathize with your situation and understand your concerns and I have the same concerns myself. We as a staff, 1 as a staff member don't seem to have adequate time to prepare comments for you or for the City Council at the rate they are being placed before us, me. Shari is under a tremendous load and just in getting transmittals out for comments for applications that are coming in plus fielding all of the myriad of questions that she receives everyday that you can't just put them on hold you have to address that, she is having quite a time in doing that. The everyday functioning of City business is full time enough and trying to fit into that the review of all of the proposals and submittal coming before the City is taxing us to the limit. And I guess ftom my standpoint if we are going to continue at this rate then it appears to me that staff is going to have to be enlarged a significant amount. I don't have time for planning the big picture of the City of Meridian as far as sewer and water is concerned. My time now is spent reacting to these submittals, trying to get comments put together for you so that you can make decisions. And almost everything that I am able to do in terms of planning is being subcontracted outside consultants. I don't think personally that is a real healthy atmosphere, I think we lose a grasp of what we are really trying to do. After all consultants for the most part are very capable but you still have to be looking over their shoulder a little bit, you can't just turn them lose. So, anyway I am frustrated to a point, I know that Shari is and somedays you just want to run away and hide and whatever. I just wondered if there was someway either we lengthen the time that is allowed from point of receiving a submittal until it is heard by you folks or by the Council so that there is more time available Meridian Planning & Zoning June 23, 1994 Page 33 or we start, of if there is a possibility as Wayne mentioned he was going to look into that for Will, if there is a possibility to limit the number of applications that are received. But something has to happen. Shearer: We cut our meeting to once a month, why that takes care of the problem. Smith: Right, as long as you don't have an agenda that runs into (inaudible). Johnson: We don't like those because we don't function well after 10:30. Rountree: Is it fair to say Gary that you could deal with more projects if the applications were better or is that maybe over simplification? Smith: I don't see the projects when they come in the door Shari does, so I know in some cases like for example final plats I may not get the second sheet to review which I need. So, 1 either have to call the consultant or say on my comments submit sheet 2 for review. As I mentioned to Wayne today 1 know that is going to turn some of these back and make them resubmit and it if the wait until the last day to submit it it will cost them a month to come back. But, after a while maybe it won't take too long maybe they will catch vn that if they don't have these submittals complete that this will happen then we will be right back in the same boat again, they will be submitting complete submittals and we won't have any reason to turn them away. Rountree: That is what I am saying is that if they are. complete and a reasonable quality can you turn more around then say what you are doing now having to sort through them and wait for things to come for you to comment on and having to make phone calls and inquiries and assumptions and those kinds of things. Smith: It would help Berg: Would it buy you some time? Smith: I don't know that it would make all that much difference. It will help in terms of the reviewing these things. We get so many interruptions anyway during the day when you are trying to review these things. Johnson: That is why a lot of people in your business have gone to the quiet hour thing, no phone calls until 10:00 etc., because I don't know how you get time to do anything. They always have the open door policy without any restrictions is what negates productivity, there is no way you can do it. • ~ ~ Meridian Planning & Zoning June 23, 1994 Page 34 Smith: We are trying to do that on my side where we have some deadlines or we are coming up against it I will tell my guys you are not here for 4 hours or whatever as long as the other guy is there that can help field the phone calls and then they can just shut their door and get busy and get the work done. So, we do try and do that I think we still have too much of an open door policy and we are too available, it is hard not to do that when you are a public servant you should be available. Rountree: Do you have a feel of how many projects you can handle in a quality manner in a given period of time, our established review period now and any suggestions in terms of numbers or length of time for review that would assist- you in making your job easier? Smith: I don't have a number for you. Johnson: It would appear to me that the projects are so different the 14 lot developments or 300 lot developments, l am not an engineer but I would assume you spend more time on a 300 lot development. Crookston: But not proportionately Johnson: Well, there are certain hoops that you jump through on all of them, I understand that. Smith: But on a final plat for example I review every lot, each lot I don't check the boundary for closures but 1 go around the boundary to make sure dimensions and bearings are on every line. And so the bigger the subdivision the more time it takes. A lot of time is spent checking adjacent subdivisions on final plats to make sure the plat is conforming with what is already of record. And most of the consultants are doing a good job there are a couple that require more hand holding but it is that way in every business. I really don't know the answer, I just, I hat a to bring a problem up if I don't have a solution to offer but at this point I don't I just know that there is a problem. Johnson: Well, the answer is to get the fed to increase the interest 2 points so we won't have that problem any more. Smith: I don't want to go to 0 growth but it could sure slow down a little bit. Shearer: Do we need anymore of this on tape? Johnson: I don't think so.

MOTION CARRIED: All Yea ITEM #4: TABLED AT JUNE 23, 1994 MEETING: ASHFORD GREENS SUBDIVISION PRELIMINARY PLAT BY BOISE RESEARCH CENTER: Johnson: Is there is a representative from Ashford Greens here? Wardle: Mr. Chairman, members of the Commission, there were certain (inaudible) associated with this project because of the nature of it and I appreciate the fact that the Commission needed some additional time to give consideration. There are really 2 issues, we would be requesting the Commission to approve the preliminary plat and pass onto the City Council subject to the Council approval of some variance requests that will be submitted to them in an application. And those variance requests will not be for reduction of lot area, we will conform to the R-4 8,000 square foot minimum. However, because of the frontage on the golf course and deeper lots throughout the project we will be requesting a reduction in frontage in a variance application. We don' t have anything on the preliminary plat that is less than 75 foot average except on some curves. And we will be requesting in that variance then the length of culdesacs and block lengths and the fact that there are 6 units proposed on private drives. The other issue that the Commission struggled with was the 2 parcels that~are designated at some future consideration in a conditional use application that must be submitted those medium density parcels at this point are not being specifically requested for any approval other than acknowledgement that they are part of the overall plan. We believe that, proceeding to pass this onto the Council in concert with the variance application on those issues because of the nature of this project which is donating some 50 acres approximately to the City for the golf course it does at least move it forward so we can proceed with the first phase which will conform to the ordinance requirements and will allow the City to begin planning and construction perhaps this fall in preparation of the golf course for perhaps a year from now. We did provide a letter to several members which we were unable to make contact with all members of the Commission, I have copies here but basically we are asking of the Commission recommend the preliminary plat subject to the granting of a variance by the City Council for those items noted and subject to a conditional use applications for the 2 Meridian Planning & Zoning July 12, 1994 Page 7 medium density parcels with consideration at that time for density transfer from Golf course property that will be dedicated by the Brighton Corporation to the City. We would be happy to respond to questions Mr. Chairman. Johnson: Mike, could you bring up your plat, I have a couple of specific questions that might generate some more. Starting with the club house area, is that pretty much where you plan a clubhouse and where is the parking? Wardle: Mr. Chairman, the clubhouse location is within feet fairly representative of the location because it is on the parcel that Kent Barney owns and is part of the land that is being dedicated for the other part of the golf course. The parking has been redesigned and again it is not a specific issue because is actually the City will be the implementation agency but, parking will be in this area and across the street. So essentially it will be in front of an across the street from the clubhouse. This is simply expanding the range or depth of the driving range and maintaining the use of the existing lake and then the first hole of the golf course in this location. So, it is a fairly fixed not much flexibility to where that would be paced. Johnson: Those 21ots you made reference to where are they? Wardle: They would be these 2 medium density parcels lying in the heart of the southerly portion which is primarily what was known as the Thomas parcel and then over where the existing clubhouse is and the land in the vicinity or just north of the existing development, both would lye north of the Golf View estates and Cheny Lane Village No. 1, again subject to future approval. We acknowledge the fact that you are not granting approval tonight on medium density development. Johnson: Is it on that map where the present temporary clubhouse is? Wardle: It is not ident~ed but it is in this location, coming in off of Interlachen on the west and then just right next to the Eight Mile Lateral. Johnson: Are there any questions from the Commission at this point? Rountree: I still have the same concern I had previously and in looking into it a little more Gary correct me if I am wrong, but Interlachen is functionally classified as a collector street and the way you have that lot set up it no longer functions as a collector street. It is my opinion that it should continue to function that way that was the intended purpose and that should be factored into the design of the development. Wardle: Mr. Chairman,. Mr. Rountree, we understand that concern and we are willing to /'~ /'~ Meridian Planning ~ zoning July 12, 1994 Page 8 work through that.

And it gives us time I think to work ' tion point and so there will be a total all the other particulars worked out including the issues oflty staff and the agencies to get have to address and then ho efull anance with the Council we'll medium densi P y come back with solutions and proposals for the ty parcels and get the consideration at that time. Johnson: For the record you are talking about the northwest corner of t he project. Wardle: Yes Johnson: Those unnumbered lots, would you comment on those? Wardle: Yes, Mr. Chairman these lots were not included in the original preliminary plat Submittal. It was felt at that time that the area would be used for maintenance and employee parking for the golf course but the adjacent property owner did not want to do that. So, they have proposed shifting the maintenance facility in some other location and utilizing that area on their property and this property as single family lots adjacent to the golf Course. So, we would provide a revised preliminary plat that will include those parcels but that is the intent at this point. Johnson: Any other questions of Mr. Wardle? Is everyone in receipt of that July 11th letter from Hubble Engineering? Wardle: Mr. Chairman, I have extra copies. ~ohnson~. ~2t Would you like to do? Meridian Planning & Zoning July 12, 1994 Page 9 Crookston: Mr. Wardle, I have a question, you indicate in this letter of July 11, 1994 that the project was submitted as a PUD. Wardle: I think I also clarify the fact that we really only submitted a preliminary plat application with documentation on the overall intent of the project acknowledging the fact that there were issues particularly the medium densit approved of a subsequent time through a process all of theipraowns And that was the lettee that was submitted with the original application. Now we are calling it the golf course PUD because in reality that is what it is, but we still only requested a plat application or submitted a plat application. Crookston: If you did submit it as a PUD you would have to have a conditional use for the PUD. Wardle: We understand that, but in fact the single family lots with the variance as noted and the only one that we are requesting that is a dimensional request it would be a 75 foot frontage is the only thing that distinguishes the single family portion from a normal R-4 subdivision. Hepper: And you are going to approach that from a variance request? Wardle: We will ask the Council if they would grant a variance request on the frontage, if they choose not to do so we will conform and the plat submitted will come back at 80 feet, but we believe that the nature of the project is different and would constitute consideration of a variance. Johnson: Anything further Mr. Crookston? Crookston: No Johnson: What action would you like to take? Rountree: I have a question for Wayne, if we take action on the preliminary plat as presented, we are recommending approval of a PUD that hasn't been through the request process or are we just recommending a large lot that will be subject to a future public hearing process? Crookston: That is the only way you could do it. Unless they had actually started out with a PUD with a conditional use. Rountree: Mr. Chairman, I make a motion that we pass on a favorable recommendation ~ ~ Meridian Planning & Zoning July 12, 1994 Page 10 to the City Council on the preliminary plat noting that the plat contains 2 lots that will be subject to future preliminary use development hearings that transportation circulation will be resolved with staff and the lot sizes will conform with the City's subdivision ordinance.

Rountree: Wayne, a correction on page 11, that word that keeps coming up. Johnson: Anything else? Alidjani: Mr. Chairman, I make a motion that the Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission hereby adopt and approve these findings of fact and conclusions.

ROLL CALL VOTE: Hepper -Aye, Rountree -Aye, Alidjani -Aye, Shearer -Aye MOTION CARRIED: All Yea Johnson: Any recommendation you would like to pass onto the City? Alidjani: Mr. Chairman, I make a motion the Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission hereby recommends to the City Council of the City of Meridian that they approve the annexation and zoning as stated above for the property described in the application with the conditions set forth in the findings of fact and conclusions of law that if the conditions are not met that the property not be annexed or if the property has been annexed that it be de-annexed. n Meridian City Council August 16, 1994 Page 20 Kingsford: The reason Mr. Moore that did come up at re-platting we amended our ordinances to require all ditches to be tiled and I guess your initial question was does that apply to all. I think generally speaking it applied to residential subdivisions although I can't speak for the Council, but that was our intent generally. Does Council have any further questions of staff? Are you prepared to make a decision? I think findings are required, if you direct the City Attorney to do that. Morrow. So moved Corrie: Second Kingsford: Moved by Walt, second by Bob to have the City Attorney prepare findings of fact and conclusions of law, all those in favor? Opposed? MOTION CARRIED: All Yea Kingsford: Those findings will be considered at our next Council meeting and after approval will be made available. ITEM #15: PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR A PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR ASHFORD GREENS SUBDIVISION BY BOISE RESEARCH CENTER: Kingsford: At this time 1 will open that public hearing and invite the owner or his designee to speak first. Mike Wardle, Hubble Engineering, was sworn by the City Attorney. Wardle: Mr. Mayor, the Council has received a recommendation for approval of the Ashford Greens Subdivision which you have seen before and is the project that encompasses the completion of the Cherry Lane Golf Course. The recommendation that came to the Council came subject to compliance with the R-4 standards which is the applicable zoning. And so in reality this evening the Council is considering the single family portion of this subdivision and in a subsequent item a waiver of some development standards through a variance request that was submitted and is also advertised for a hearing this evening. I have personally learned a great deal about the City process, direction and comment by the City Attorney that a conditional use permit is required for the medium density parcel identified in the original PUD submittal that in fact a PUD can only be approved by Conditional Use permit application. And that application has been submitted to staff and will be heard at a subsequent meeting in order to resolve this issue once and for all with respect to the proposed medium density uses from that proposal. We have informally also presented to the staff the first phase proposal for the development so Meridian City Council August 16, 1994 Page 21 1'~ that when preliminary plat approval is granted that we will submit a project that conforms strictly to the R-4 standards. That first phase will require no conditional use or variance components. And that will be done depending on what the Council finally determines to do. So in basic summation Mr. Mayor the requirable request is for preliminary plat approval of the revised preliminary plat which was submitted after the planning commission formulated its recommendation to the Council and that was simply to accommodate several points of access that were requested through the process by Ada County Highway District and other agencies. Obviously this particular preliminary plat approval is subject to consideration of the variance request for reduced lot frontages for some lots, for length of 3 culdesacs which exceed the dimensional standards of the City, for longer than normal blocks and also for private drives that serve 6 lots on the project and for 2 flag lots. The council has seen the drawing before I v-rould respond to questions, but again I believe that the recommendation was for approval subject to the R-4 standards and we will deal with those variance requests in a subsequent item. So I would respond to any questions the Council has at this time. Kingsford: Questions for Mr. Wardle? Wardle: Thank you. Kingsford: Anyone else from the public? Seeing none I will close the public hearing, Council members. Obviously no change in findings. What is your attitude Counselor with regard to the change as far as the revised preliminary plat, does that constitute a re-visit to planning & Zoning? Crookston: That is a question that must be resolved by the zoning administrator as to whether or not she feels it is significant. If she does than it needs to go back to Planning & Zoning if she does not than it does not. (Discussion Inaudible) Crookston: Since the property is not annexed however you really don't have authority to approve. Kingsford: Part of it is not annexed. Crookston: Correct Morrow. Gary Smith had basically 18 comments in his June 11th letter were those things all addressed to your satisfaction Gary? Meridian City Council August 16, 1994 Page 22 Kingsford: (Inaudible) Smith: Mr. Mayor and Council, I have my comments, I don't recall response from the developer's engineer or Mike coming through and I could be totally askew on this. I just don't remember seeing them. Tolsma: I have a question, ACHD on your comment #6 (inaudible) ACRD says we don't want that connected in there, that can be withdrawn off the comment list. Smith: Yes, well I guess that is something that the Highway District doesn't want to see happen. In the past we have been able to v~rk with them, they seem pretty set in not wanting to see that through. So basically it would function as a collector through collector. Tolsma: (Inaudible) Smith: Where we have lots that are fronting onto Interlachen that it would create problems or could create problems they were opposed to that. Tolsma: (Inaudible) Smith: Right, that was their other concern. Kingsford: Of course my concern again still is getting people in the existing (inaudible) holes to the club house area and have that circulation. Smith: And that was one reason I fashioned that comment was after talking to Mayor Kingsford and his concern about the circulation in that regard. Cowie: Mr. Mayor, Gary (inaudible) the circulation that the Mayor is concerned about and I am to, (inaudible) go around the other way, we still have that option of the street going around is that correct on the north side from Turnberry come all the way around (inaudible). Smith: Yes it would come through the Lake No. 3 I think it is. Cowie: A bigger concem about the proposed variance on that side it would come up later. t agree that we need to have someway to get in there but there is another problem. That is all I have Mr. Mayor. Kingsford: Well the issue I guess, a significant issue is that it isn't annexed so you can't plat what isn't annexed or approve anything on it. So I think the appropriate thing now we Meridian City Council August 16, 1994 Page 23 have had the public hearing is to table, is that right Counselor? Crookston: Yes Morrow. So moved Corrie: Second Kingsford: Moved by Walt, second by Bob I believe to table this until next meeting, all those in favor? Opposed? MOTION CARRIED: All Yea ITEM #16: PUBLIC HEARING: VARIANCE REQUEST FOR ASFORD GREENS SUBDIVISION BY BOISE RESEARCH CENTER: Kingsford: At this time I will open the public hearing and invite the owner or his designee to speak first on that subject. Mike Wardle, 9550 Bethel Court, Boise, was sworn by the City Attorney. Wardle: Mr. Mayor, I guess I would like to take one step back since this is all related. The comments of Mr. Smith submitted with the original preliminary plat were responded to on the 6th of July. Specific infomlation was provided at that point to staff, there has not been a follow up discussion or response since that information was submitted. But in each and every case the information was identified and was indicated that there would be a resolution. But a lot of the resolution will come-with final design after preliminary plat approval and those are specific technical resolutions with respect to the sewer or water design. I would also further make the comment that with respect to this project of 154 acres on a 23.98 is not already in the city zoned R-4. And the first phase that we are proposing to submit (inaudible) for many years zoned R-4. So I suppose from a technical standpoint that tabling may be applicable because the southerly 24 acres is not yet officially in the city, but the balance of the project certainly is and I think could be subject to annexation of that southerly portion before any development plans would ever be approved for that. So I guess I am not certain of how the project works when we do respond and the revised preliminary plat only addressed the issues that came up in the comments and they dealt with concerns stated by Mr. Bowers the Fire Chief stated a concern by Mr. Bowers for a flag lot that was rather long in terms of access. That flag lot was removed. It was in response to a comment by staff and I am assuming Mr. Bowers constitutes staff, the other change that was made on that preliminary plat was the extension of a street stub to the north to service adjacent property as a direct result of the n Meridian City Council August 2, 1994 Page 25 those proper documents. Morrow. No Kingsford: Anyone else from the public then that would like to offer testimony at this before I close the public hearing? Collins: (Inaudible) Do we need a warranty deed, that means he needs clear title to the property before we can proceed with this? That is my question. Crookston: You have to have the consent of the titled owners. Collins: So I need to back that with proof that the Conrads own it. Crookston: The legal description should tie in so that we can show that Mrs. Conrad and this other person own the same property that you are asking to be annexed and zoned. Kingsford: I will close the public hearing, Council members 1 entertain your motion. Mon'ow. I would move that this project be tabled, and we have to do it to a date certain in the future? Kingsford: Correct. Morrow. Which the meeting of the 16th would be too quick in terms of the notification so Anna what vwuld be the next meeting that it could be accomplished by? I would move that this be tabled until September 6th. Yerrington: Second Kingsford: Moved by Walt, second by Max to table Haven Cove Subdivision annexation and preliminary plat to the September 6th meeting, all those in favor? Opposed? MOTION CARRIED: All Yea ITEM #17: PUBLIC HEARING: CONTINUED FROM JULY 19, 1994 MEETING: REQUEST FOR ANNEXATION AND ZONING FOR ASHFORD GREENS SUBDIVISION BY BOISE RESEARCH CENTER AND NUBBLE ENGINEERING: Kingsford: At this time I will re-open that public hearing and invite the owner or his designee to begin. n ~ Meridian City Council August 2, 1994 Page 26 Mike Wardle, 9550 Bethel Court, Boise, was sworn by the City Attorney. Wardle: Mr. Mayor, the particular evening in question was the hearing for the annexation and zoning issue related to this project and we had requested that it be continued or deferred and frankly when it got to that hour of the morning I wasn't present. The simple issue really is one of completion of annexation of the portion of the property and I am not going to put out the big board tonight but simply pass to the Mayor and Council the vicinity map that shows the parcel. Previously the land to the north and the land to the south was annexed by prior ordinance, the Golf View Estates was annexed in the area to the south. The portion of the Fuller and Thomas properties a portion of which this parcel is were annexed previously also to R-4. We simply have requested completion of that to an r-4 zone and that is the issue that is before the Council. Kingsford: This is the former Baxter property, Thomas property that was not in the. city limits that is part of the project to expand the golf course to a larger area. Tolsma: (Inaudible) Wardle: Yes, on the north 30 acres was previously annexed and I don't know why they were separated but that is correct. Kingsford: I think it was at one time different ownership of those or something I don't remember how it worked. The rest of that property was annexed I believe back in the late 70's early 80's. Come: We did acquire from the City the ordinances that brought in both of the parcels to the north and south of it and checked the dates. This one is the last parcel lying east of Black Cat Road. So I would answer any questions but that is the really the sole issue. Kingsford: Any questions of Mr. Wardle from the Council? Morrow. The only question I have is the letter that ACRD, dated today and received today have you reviewed that with respect to. Apparently what they are trying to get at is they have some problem with the collector status of (inaudible) Wardle: May I read a copy of that I have not seen it. Morrow. I have not read the whole thing either. Kingsford: (Inaudible) talking about Interlachen being a collector in their functional street classification. n Meridian City Council August 2, 1994 Page 27 Morrow. The status of collectors has changed and that this is now asub-standard collector. Wardle: Yes Mr. Mayor, Mr. Morrow because of the frontage of the homes on Interlachen is the reason for that statement as I read it. I don't know if that has a direct relationship to the annexation. It is certainly an issue that needs to be discussed in the preliminary plat that I believe is before the Council in 2 weeks. Kingsford: Any other questions for Mr. Wardle? Wardle: Thank you Kingsford: Anyone else that would like to offer testimony on this issue? Seeing none I will close the public hearing. One of the things Mr. Turnbull that you and I have a concern about and I have discussed it with you on at a couple of occasions is with regard to the deed for transfer of the golf course area. I knew I was going to be absent last time and asked the Council to condition an annexation based on that transfer in a timely fashion. Where are you at with that? (Inaudible) Kingsford: Would it be possible to have that at the preliminary plat stage? (Inaudible) Kingsford: Would you come up here, we are getting several things here that won't be on tape. Turnbull: I just would like to have a meeting before that on the 16th for the preliminary plat hearing and make sure we are straight on all of the issues. So that we know that once the preliminary plat is approved and things are going forward we are ready to get the deed and get roiling on the development of phase one. Kingsford: My concern was that not too much development take place and us have to traverse streets and so forth with materials. Corrie: What conditions are you talking about? Turnbull: Well the sewer issue and I think we have it all worked out I just want to be clear on it that we have sewer ability to the property and so forth worked out. n Meridian City Council August 2, 1994 Page 28 Morrow: I think. my concerns would be that if in fact we are working on this from a standpoint of a deed to the city of the property that we have that deed as quickly as possible and there is a potential for being held hostage so to speak and the negotiating things that are down stream that may not be issues at the current time. Crookston: I think that is something that the counselor will spell out in that ordinance. And basically we are prepared to grant the city the deed we just want to know that we have the approvals on sewer and water and so forth to proceed with development. There is no sense of us giving a deed to the property if we are not able to develop. And you and I talked about that and I think we are all ready to go. Kingsford: I don't think woe are in disagreement, but if he can't get sewer and water I guess you would like to farm. And likewise if he is going to develop we need to be developing a golf course. I don't think it is a held hostage issue I think it is a timing thing and we need to make sure the is are crossed and the is dotted and so forth. Corrie: Just as long as those things whether it is sewer and that sort of thing nothing nuts and bolts that we talked about earlier. Doesn't have to do with the zoning? Turnbull: No, issues of the platting. Kingsford: Any other questions? Counselor? Crookston: I can bring it up when you go to make your motion. Kingsford: I believe I closed your public hearing. Tolsma: We need a motion to approve the findings of fact. Morrow. So moved Yerrington: Second Kingsford: Moved by Walt, second by Max to approve the findings of fact and conclusions of law for Annexing and zoning Ashford Greens subdivision, roll call vote. ROLL CALL VOTE: Morrow -Yea, Yerrington -Yea, Corrie -Yea, Tolsma -Yea Kingsford: The next item then would be to have the attorney draw up an ordinance annexing that portion of Ashford Greens subdivision. ~ ~ Meridian City Council August 2, 1994 Page 29 Crookston: Is this designed to be conditionary as was the Voigt condition on the deed of the golf course property. Kingsford: I personally think that is not a bad call. Morrow: I think it ought to be consistent what is good for Mr. Voigt is good for this subdivision and we ought to be consistent in terms of the City Council. Kingsford: I don't think the second was finished do you want to back up on the motion? Yerrington: Withdraw, I make the motion that we have the City Attorney draw up the ordinance with conditions so stated. Corrie: Second Kingsford: Moved by Max, second by Bob to have the City Attorney draw up an ordinance annexing and zoning a portion of Ashford Greens subdivision conditioned upon transfer of title for the golf course portion to the city of Meridian, all those in favor? Opposed? MOTION CARRIED: All Yea ITEM #18: FINAL PLAT: MIDTOWN SQUARE COMMERCIAL PARK BY STEVE RICKS: Kingsford: Are there questions from the Council. on that issue? Morrow: Shari has a letter dated the 29th, apparently she has 3 or 4 comments or thoughts in that letter. Can you talk about that? My questions, item #1 was city of Meridian's ordinances must be complied with for landscaping, buffer zone, screening, parking, etc. particular attention must be paid to the buffering the adjacent residential use. Item #2 was the city of Meridian Comprehensive Plan encourages a landscape setback of 35 feet along the entrance corridor. We took some actions at our last meeting that would seem to indicate that is not our current policy with respect to project that we (inaudible) veterinary clinic. Ada County Highway District review and approval is required prior to the issuance of a building permit. (Inaudible) give us more or are you telling us in terms of our motion that we should cover those things? Stiles: Yes, Councilman Morrow I am. I realize that last time we talked about the veterinary clinic which was an unusual piece of property and very limited frontage. Across the street from almost across the street from this wilt be the new West One Bank. And they have complied with the 35 foot landscape setback I would like to continue to encourage 35 foot if it is at all possible. -7II1y~1994 16:11 12083778962 BRIGHTON CORPORATION ~ PAGE 81 /"~ ,^ B~zg~i~on ~~ July 19, 1994 Wil Berg Meridian City 33 E.

Morrow: So moved Yerrington: Second Tolsma: Moved by Walt second by Max to have the Attorney prepare findings of fact and conclusions of law on the variance request, all those in favor? Opposed? MOTION CARRIED: All Yea ITEM #25: PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR ANNEXATION AND ZONING FOR ASHFORD GREENS SUBDIVISION BY BOISE RESEARCH CENTER AND RUBBLE ENGINEERING: Tolsma: I will now open the public hearing and invite the representative speak. Jim Merkle, 9550 Bethel Court, Boise, was sworn by the City Attorney Merkle: What I know about this project is there was a request for deferral and that is it, I am not the project manager on it but there was a request for deferral for reasons unknown to me. Tolsma: Does anybody wish to offer testimony on this project? Francis Margulieux, 2040 Interlachen Way, was sworn by the City Attorney. Margulieux: Well, I don't know if I am going to get any answers tonight, we have a /'~ ~ Meridian City Council July 19, 1994 Page 92 concern about what is going to happen at the end of Interlachen Way and where the club house is currently located. Does anybody know: Berg: That goes with the preliminary plat, this is the annexation. Margulieux: Are there going to be town houses there or what? Corrie: I am trying to think, David and I had a conversation on this one, he was going to do one of 2 things whichever was appropriate for the City. One was a culdesac right there so there is no more traffic on Interlachen. Margulieux: Are there going to be roads running through. (Inaudible) Corrie: Right, I think that was one of the reasons that they do what they are doing. But he was either going to culdesac or it would run on through and go onto the other side and connect to the street that would eventually go into the main entrance off of Black Cat. His feelings were that he would like to culdesac that to Interlachen. Margulieux: My husband and I have a few concerns about what is going in there, we will be watching that. Corrie: And something about the club house. Margulieux: We were just wondering about that, it is so late I just wanted to let you know that we do have concerns about the schools, the parks, there aren't any parks for me to take my children and I am concerned about fire services, police services, bicycle safety and alt of those things. I will just cut it there. Craig Groves, 3920 East Shady Glenn Court, Ada County, was sworn by the City Attorney. Groves: In regards to the application in front of you this evening, the Boise Research Center on their annexation and rezone that parcel basically relates to a very small section of ground on the south side of what we call the Thomas property. Every other aspect of the project has already been annexed and zoned, I am not sure what the size is in terms of acres, 25 acres. The Thomas property was a 25 acre site which 20 was already annexed and zoned they are just asking for the south part of the property to be annexed and zoned. And I might speak in regards to in their preliminary plat they have 2 fairly large areas that they have not designated for development yet, the ones there at the end of Interlachen and the other one is on the main drive that comes in. We have talked about a couple of different uses there. One use would be a fully enclosed gated type community, cluster housing, single, detached housing for the over 55 community with a small club /'~ Meridian City Council Jufy 19, 1994 Page 93 house and pitch and put area. It would be a nice use. Tolsma: Anyone else from the public wish to testify? Dean Langley, 3195 North Black Cat Road, was sworn by the City Attorney. Langley: First of all what did the gentleman mean by deferring does that mean it will just be brought up again later or what exactly is the nature of that? Morrow: Well I think to answer your question what I intend to do is they asked to be essentially tabled we are doing a public hearing. I think I will probably make a motion to continue the public hearing until our August 2nd meeting so the developer can make his presentation to us verbally on the record. The same that we did before earlier this evening. I don't see any reason to change that. Langley: Statement of fact on several items related to this project: Our families own and operated continuously since the 1940's a 100 acre farm directly west across Black Cat Road from the majority of this development. And I operate a production farm there for the immediate foreseeable future plan to continue to do that. Although we have no objection to the development for stated .purposes, I think it is important as did at the P & Z hearing that we simply state that for public record that there will be equipment and machinery used to operate that ground in grow crop farming, all potential hours and there will be related issues to that. Also, application of herbicides and pesticides and to include aerial application on that property and adjacent and I see an issue came up in the P & Z hearing prevailing wind is out of the northwest which means that any dust that kind of thing will be involved in that development. Three questions after those statements related to that, some of those issues have been broached and that is control of construction trash from the property. Currently the water supply for the 100 acres comes off of the Eight Mile Lateral through what is to be Ashford Greens. We would assume that the developer is going to make adequate planning and engineering to supply that water all that way since the main thoroughfare comes in off Black Cat comes directly over that. And there is also a question about weed control on that 160 acres both now and during the construction so that there are spots of noxious weeds on there now and the developer has been pretty amenable and have disced it once. Beyond going concerned until the property is transferred and developed. That concludes by remarks, any questions? Tolsma: Questions? Corrie: I don't think we want to get into one of those situation that Caldwell got into with the farmer combining. /~ Meridian City Council July 19, 1994 Page 94 Morrow: I guess my comments here generic in nature that probably on these we ought to include just as a fact that we recognize surrounding agricultural things where they exist no matter what the subdivision may be. I think his issues with respect to the herbicides and although the weed control is a new issue it is also a very valid issue. In terms of the property being zoned and annexed and having the responsibility as an owner to control the weeds so that they don't contaminate an ongoing agricultural operation. I agree with that also. The other things we have dealt with on a normal basis and I think that we would continue to deal with in terms of this proposal. So, I think the things that you are asking for a fairly standard. Tolsma: That is the first time we have run up against aerial spraying. Morrow: Aerial spraying is a reality on any large piece of ground. We have aerial spraying going on in the City immediately adjacent to my property. Tolsma: Any other comments or questions? Anybody else wish to testify, if not I will close the public hearing. Morrow: Mr. President I would move that we continue the public hearing to the August 2nd meeting reflecting the request for tabling by the Boise Research Center and they can make their presentation at the continued public hearing at that point in time. Corrie: Second Tolsma: Moved by Walt, second by Bob to continue the public hearing at the August 2nd meeting, all those in favor? Opposed? MOTION CARRIED: All Yea ITEM #26: PUBLIC HEARING: VARIANCE REQUEST FOR THE LAKE AT CHERRY LANE NO. 3 BY STEINER CORPORATION: Tolsma:_ Do we have a representative here? Wayne Forrey, 52 East Franklin Road, was sworn by the City Attorney. Forrey: Mr. President members of the Council about a month and a half ago Steiner Development committed to prepare a development compliance report. The Mayor and each Council member received the report and it wasn't in a 3 ring binder but hopefully you recognize it. Item #6 in that packet was the variance application, a request for 2 items, a block length be allowed. to extend beyond the 1000 standard that the City has by 170 so n n MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL MEETING: August 16 1994 APPLICANT: BOISE RESEARCH CENTER AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: 15 REQUEST: PUBLIC HEARING• REQUEST FOR A PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR ASHFORD GREENS S BDNISION AG NCY CITY CLERK: CITY ENGINEER: CITY PLANNING DIRECTOR: CITY ATTORNEY: CITY POLICE DEPT: CITY FIRE DEPT: CITY BUILDING DEPT: MERIDIAN SCHOOL DISTRICT: MERIDIAN POST OFFICE: ADA COUNTY HIGHWAY DISTRICT: ADA COUNTY STREET NAME COMMITTEE: CENTRAL DISTRICT HEALTH: NAMPA MERIDIAN IRRIGATION: SETTLERS IRRIGATION: IDAHO POWER: US WEST: INTERMOUNTAIN GAS: BUREAU OF RECLAMATION: COMMENTS SEE ATTACHED COMMENTS FINDINGS OF FACTAND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW "REVIEWED" SEE ATTACHED COMMENTS ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~^' ~ ! ~ ~ , ~~ ..,, SEE ATTACHED COMMENTS SEE ATTACHED COMMENTS SEE ATTACHED COMMENTS SEE ATTACHED COMMENTS SEE ATTACHED COMMENTS SEE ATTACHED COMMENTS F~ ~ OTHER: ' HUB OF TREASURE VALLEY COUNCIL MEMBERS OFFICIALS A Good Place to Live RONALD R.

KINGSFORD Mayor MEMORANDUM June 11, 1994 To: Mayor, City Council, Pla 'ng & Zoning From: Gary D. Smith, PE RE: ASHFORD GREENS (Golf Course PUD) (Preliminary Plat -Annexation) I have reviewed this submittal and offer the following comments for your information and or use as conditions of the applicant during the hearing process: The 23.98 acre annexation legal descriptions declaration that it is subject o the right of way along Black Cat Road should be deleted. 2. The right of way widths for Ashford Blvd. scales 80 feet but is not dimensioned. What is the width and what is the island width and travel way width? 3. The width of the islands in the culdesacs are not dimensioned but scale 40 feet. If this is correct and the back of sidewalk is located against the property line a 23 foot width of asphalt would be provided. This width needs to be approved by our Fire Department. 4. Any sewer or water line proposed to be located outside a public right of way needs to be under a paved access way a minimum of 20 feet in width and a permanent easement must be granted to the City of Meridian. The 20 foot width is an absolute minimum and the actual width will depend on sewer line depth and if both water and sewer are in the easement. 5. What happens to the Eight Mile Lateral as it crosses Lots 39 and 40 -Block 8, follows along Dawson Drive, and crosses the proposed clubhouse area? 6. Interlachen Way must be extended as a public street to connect to Dawson Drive. 7. The applicant has addressed the need for variances to block lengths and culdesac lengths because of the golf course configuration. Understandable. He has also stated the need to plat less than 80 foot frontages and 8,000 square foot lots required for an R-4 zone. Because? (82 of the 225 single family lots shown, 36%, have less than the required 80 foot frontage). r n 8. Primary water supply for this project will come from Well No. 12. This well is scheduled for rehabilitation this month to improve its production. Whether or not this project can be served by our existing supply system will need to be determined through use of our water facilities computer model. Anew well may be necessary. 9. As the applicant stated, sewer flow will be toward the projects northwest corner at which point it will be pressured by a lift station, to be built by the City of Meridian, back to an existing gravity line flowing to the treatment plant. This lift station will initially serve this project, Cherry Lane `vage Tvo. 1, Rod's Parkside Creek, Golf View Esta~es, ~.V a portion of the Lake No. 3 and Dakota Ridge. Ultimately this will be a regional lift station serving a sizable area within Meridian's Southwest Urban Service Boundary. 10. A 33 inch diameter trunk sewer is ultimately scheduled to be constructed in Black Cat Road to serve this southwest area of Meridian's Urban Service Boundary. The applicant has agreed to pay their "Eight Inch Equivalency" fee toward future construction of this trunk. 11. The water line along Black Cat Road is shown mostly in the subdivisions streets, occasionally jogging out to parallel Black Cat Road. Our past policy has been to require a 12 inch diameter main be located in any section line road adjacent to a development and the lines sized in the subdivision streets to serve the development. (Also, please reference my comment #4.) 12. Show a reference benchmark elevation for the contours shown. 13. Street lights and fire hydrants need to be shown at or near intersections and at no more than 400 foot spacing. 14. Show a stub street to the north from Moon Lake Drive. 15. Asub-surface soils profile needs to be done to verify groundwater depth and the ability of the soils to percolate surface water. 16. A traffic study should be made to determine this developments impact on adjacent subdivisions and the adjacent section line roadways. 17. The size (width) of the golf course fairways should be reviewed with the golf course architect and the Cherry Lane Golf Course lessee. 18. All lots fronting a "culdesac" or a "knuckle" need to have enough frontage to yield a 40 foot chord to the curve. 08/29/94 10:32 c GLENN J.

Although Interlachen Way is designated in part as a collector, the section of Interlachen that stubs into Ashford Greens is a local residential street. Also, the section of Interlachen that is designated as a collector has front-on housing with driveways backing directly onto the street. ACHD's current policy does not allow this practice on collectors. It is the opinion of the Highway District that any significant additional traffic on Interlachen Way will result in a major increase in the number of citizen complaints about the traffic on Interlachen Way as a result of the increase in traffic. If the requested extension of Interlachen way to Dawson Drive is made, the current average daily vehicle trips on Interlachen will increase from about 100 currently to approximately 1,500. We have found that complaints about volumes and speed of traffic increase dramatically as volumes near 900 to 1,000 trips per day. ACHD's staff report for Ashford Greens (dated June 17, 1994) contains the following Fact & Finding and resulting Site Specific Requirement: Fact & Finding #9. Interlachen Way stubs to the property boundary of this site in the southeast where multi-family dwellings are proposed. Staff recommends that a direct street connection not be allowed from Interlachen Way to Dawson Drive to eliminate tine potential for cut-through traffic. Staff recommends that Interlachen Drive be terminated and a private road or driveway provide a circuitous connection for the townhome development to Dawson Drive. ads county highway district 318 East 37th • Boise, Idaho 83714 • Phone (208) 345-7680 AUG 29 '94 10 24 208 345 ?650 PAGE.01 08/29/94 10:33 $208 345 7650 ACRD Site Specific Requirement #8. connect with Dawson Drive. ~ 002/008 Interlachen Way shall not These were adopted by the ACRD Commission on June 20, 1994, and are now the official position of the Highway District.

It is clear that the City Council can approve the aanexation/zoning, conditional use permit and prelintimary plat at the December 20, 1994 meeting. They have received favorable recommendations from the PAZ Commission to act on each of those matters according to the official minutES. And in order to remove any concern, we will have a revised preliminary plat in your office Iate~Monday that addresses the 75'/80' lot mix issue. I contacted Shari Stiles this afternoon to get her opinion as to whether the mixing of lots per City P&Z and Council desires constitutes a significant change in the plat. She stated that if there was no change in the roadway system, or the subdivision layout...that there was no increase in the number of lots overall...that not more than 65 would be less than 80 feet...and that the change was the result of direction by the Council, then the revision would not be considered significant.

And that is all the comment that I have for this evening. Kingsford: What is the Council's pleasure? Morrow. Mr. Mayor, just a point of discussion, here we are again with Haven Cove and last time we had this project there were several issues that are up in the air were brought to the table at the last minute without time for staff to adequately review it. Tonight we are being asked to make a decision between a 40 foot and a 50 foot turn around. We are being asked to compromise a landscape berm without having the necessary facts here. Mr. Smith has indicated that he has not seen the preliminary plat data that should be on a preliminary plat. He has not been able to Confirm the sewer hook up with respect to the adjoining subdivision. From my perspective all of those things ought to be done before the thing is brought before us in a public hearing. The chances of things falling through the cracks with us trying to make a motion and incorporating all of the things that are not there it seems to me to be risky at best. I think from my perspective I would like to see the issue tabled until everything is done the way it is supposed to be done and have a presentation with all of the questions answered. Those would be my comments. Corrie: Would you like to make that a motion? Morrow. So moved. Corrie: Second Kingsford: Moved by Walt, second by Bob to table Haven Cove No. 5 until the next Council meeting all those in favor? Opposed? MOTION CARRIED:.

Idaho Street Meridian, ID 83642 RE: Ashford Greens Golf Course PUD Deaz Ms. Stiles, On behalf of Brighton Corporation, we aze pleased to submit "Ashford Greens" for approval. This project--the means for Meridian City to complete the Cherry Lane Golf Course-_ requires the following specific actions: 1. Annexation of a 25 acre parcel. • This is the southerly half of the Thomas pazcel which remains outside the city limits according to the City zoning map. • Current County zoning is RT. • City zoning classification of R-4 is requested for consistency with the adjacent parcels. 2. Preluninary plat approval of the entire 154.69 acres as a PUD. • The project encompasses most of the golf course azea for the new nine holes, and approximately two-thirds of the land required for the clubhouse and related parking. - Approximately 31 acres of the golf course have been provided from the "Fuller" pazcels. The remaining acreage comes from the Thomas tract. • Two pazcels aze designated as "medium density residential." - Lot 56, Block 20 at 14.5 acres and Lot S, Block 22 at 12.5 acres; total of 27 acres. - They aze assigned a density of 8 units per acre for future development proposals which may include condominiums, townhouses, or cluster housing. ~ p..~\ Shari Stiles May 13, 1994 Page Two /'~~~ At the point of a specific development proposal, platting or other required applications will be submitted. A fee has been paid for each single family and medium density lot inasmuch as the latter will be subject to future development applications and fees. 3. As a PUD development--and due to the unique nature of a golf course--some waivers or variances from the ordinance are required, including: • Approval of single family lots less than 8,000 square feet. [Only one of the lots shown on the preliminary plat has less than the R-4 threshold, but others may in final design]. • Minimum lot widths of less than the R-4 zone requirement of 80 feet. • Culdesac lengths which exceed the City standard of 450 feet. • Flag lots (Lots 28 and 29, Block 8 and Lot 2, Block 9). • Some lots with access via private drives (Lots 8, 9, 10, and 52, 53, and 54, Block 2). • Utility connections through the golf course, pedestrian accesses, and private drives (appropriate easements will be provided). • Detached sidewalks which meander along both Black Cat Road and Ashford Boulevard (the latter are shown on the preliminary plat as attached, but are expected to be detached at final design. None are shown along Black Cat Road at this time pending ACRD review and discussions.) 4. Utility Services. • Sanitary sewer service is proposed via lift station number 1 to be constructed on Black Cat Road by the City. The developer has agreed to pay the 8" equivalent for future trunk line although service to the project will all be internal and not in Black Cat Road. The proposed new phases of "'The Lake at Cherry Lane" will flow into Ashford Greens' sewers as part of the overall system. • Water service will be extended from existing and proposed lines in "Golf View Estates, " "the Lake at Cherry Lane, " and "Cherry Lane 'Village No. 1" subdivisions. These extensions will loop the system internally. Work with the City Engineer will continue to consider other requirements prior to final platting and system design. ti ~~ ~-.~ Shari Stiles May 13, 1994 Page Three 5. Fees. • Preluninary plat fee of $2,570.00 calculated on $300.00 base 1>~ 225 single family lots lus 2 medium density lots at $10.00 each. • Annexation fee of $775.00 for the 25 acre pazcel calculated on $400.00 base lus $15.00 per acre. • Certified mailing charge of $rj°p . D ~ for attached listing of ~-5 property owners at $1.29 per notice. It is assumed that a single notice for the annexation, zoning and preluninary plat will suffice. You may have questions; please call me for immediate response. We look forwazd to presentation of this unique and long-awaited project to both, Planning and Zoning and the City- Council.

Stiles Planning Director City of Meridian 33 E. Idaho Meridian, ID 83642 RE: Ashford Greens Conditional Use Application Dear Ms. Stiles: The process for approval of Ashford Greens has included preliminary platting and a variance request for relief from several City subdivision design standards. The next City Council meeting will decide these issues. However, the matter of a conditional use permit for the "medium density" parcels is still unresolved. Inasmuch as specific design plans have not been prepared for those parcels--identified on the revised preliminary plat as Lot 56, Block 20 and Lot 5, Block 22--this conditional use request is for the following: 1. General Approval of the overall project as a Planned Development Residential (PD-R) encompassing single family lots, medium density parcels, and golf course. 2. Specific a. Approval of the proposed 444 dwelling units - single family lots - medium density units 228 216 Total D.U.'s 444 n Shari Stiles _ _ August 10, 1994 Page Two b. Approval of a density transfer from the single family lot and golf course azeas to the medium density pazcels on the following basis: • total acreage 154.69 ac. • maximum density allowance in R-4 zone - 4 D.U.'s per acre x 154.69 = 618 D.U.'s • density allocation: - golf course 49.4 ac. + 0 D.U.'s = 0 D.U./ac. - single family 78.29 ac. + 228 D.U.'s = 2.91 D.U./ac. - medium density 27 ac. 216 D.U.'s 8 D.U./ac. Overall: 154.69 ac. 444 D.U.'s = 2.87 D.U./ac. Approval of lot frontages, dimensional standards, private drives, "flag" lots, culdesac and block lengths in accordance with the revised concept plan/preliminary plat submitted herewith, and with the variance application on July 15, 1994. [Items approved by the Council in the variance hearing on August 16, 1994, need not be presented to the Commission and Council for conditional use approval.] We are aware that the PDR approval for the medium density pazcels must be conditioned on a future submittal of specific site design plans which will address all of the ordinance requirements for: - access, roadways, pazking; - utilities; - open space, landscaping; - and so forth. It is necessary to process this conditional application in a timely manner in order for the Brighton Corporation to feel confident that their project objectives will be met--and for the City to finally secure the land for the long-awaited golf course. I believe that we should schedule a meeting with the Mayor and Wayne Crookston prior to the Planning and Zoning hearing to discuss the process in the absence of a detailed "medium density" plan and density' sues. Let us know the time and date as soon as possible. i'Glichael'D. Wazdle Director of Operations MDW/bh/799.1tr cc: David Turnbull n ~~ 1~~~~c2~ L~~~ C. ~l.

Mr. Mayor, that has been an ongoing project pending the ditch ordinance. I have been the one doing the continuations. But tonight David Tumbull is here and maybe he can enlighten us as to where he wants to head with this. We are very close to having that ordinance completed but it is not done as of yet I don't believe. Tumbull: I am in concurrence with Councilman Morrow I think this whole thing precipitated I think in part the review of the ditch Ordinance so I am satisfied to wait until that i~. completed if that is the direction Council wants to #~ke. I had a call from Shari regarding the variance request that Golf View Estates had on the Safford lateral. I am not sure what the final disposition of that matter was, it is kind of the same issue that we ' Meridian City Council ~~ December 16, 1997 Page 4 ~,--~ had at least on one of the irrigation facilities. Has there been a final disposition on that matter? Rountree: We approved a variance. Turnbull: So that would 1 assume be the same issue on the Safford lateral for us then. The other issue was the Eight Mile lateral and from what I understand the new ordinance the Eight Mile lateral is one of those that is specifically spoken to. Whatever the Council wishes to do on it, I can come back again. Corrie: Any questions for David? Thank you David. Smith: Mr. Mayor, if I could I would like to invite each one of you to when you are out and about to travel out to Los Alamitos No. 3 subdivision and take a look at the effects of piping and fencing an irrigation ditch. i don't know that I need to say much more, a picture is worth a thousand words. Corrie: I will entertain a motion on i#em 2. Morrow. Mr. Mayor, that being the case I think we should table item 2 until our first meeting in January which 1 believe is the 6"'. Rountree: Second Come: Motion made and seconded that we table item #2 until the January 6 meeting, any further discussion? All those in favor? Opposed? MOTION CARRIED: All Yea ITEM #3: TABLED DECEMBER 2, 1997: TREE ORDINANCE: Come: I believed they have pulled that one for a time to be a Tree City USA next year. So we need to address that ordinance some time later in the year. Rountree: Mr. Mayor, I met with the tree committee last week, they were going to take a look at the mocked up ordinance as we had it and as I have given it to Wayne. As a committee to look at a couple of issues they thought they would like an audience before the .Council to discuss. I did not get a date from them at that point in time, my guess is that we are probably looking at some time in February. I would recommend that we table this until our first meeting in February which would be, either that or by way of discussion just take if off the agenda until such time as it is ready to be before us again. That might be the easiest way to do it, that way we don't keep tabling it. Mon'ow: That would make a certain amount of sense because then if you wanted to discuss the topic in a strategic planning session and bring it to its final conclusion and /'~ Brighton Corporation August 17, 1994 Mayor Kingsford & Members of the Council City of Meridian 33 E. Idaho Ave. Meridian, ID 83642 RE: Ashford Greens Variance Request Dear Mayor Kingsford & Members of the Council: ~~~~~ CITY ®F I~ERd~IAN At the City Council heating last night on the variance applications for the Ashford Greens subdivision, the public hearing was closed prior to Councilman Corrie raising some questions on the private drive variance request. I am leaving town for a family reunion early this morning but wanted to communicate a couple of things that I would like you to consider in your deliberations. First, private drives aze used as an effective subdivision planning tool in communities throughout the country. Only in Ada County, it seems, is there a mindset that says they are inherently bad. Many of the finest planned communities I have visited in other azeas incorporate not only private drives but private streets. Boise Gity, in its recently well publicized campaign by Mayor Coles to put an end to cookie-cutter subdivisions, has implemented a private drive provision to allow more creative planning In fact, I live in The Hickories Subdivision which has a private drive serving. three lots much the same as what. is proposed in Ashford Greens. Parking in the private drive is prohibited and in fact does not occur. I drive by it a least twice a day, I know the neighbors well, and I know that they like it and it works. One of the aspects we wanted to accomplish in this design was to create some visibility corridors to the golf course from Blackcat Road because we felt that the visibility would be aesthetically pleasing and provide identification to the golf course. We could well have taken out the cul-de-sacs and run a frcntage road between the two streets with lots backing up to the golf course but that would have eliminated the view corridor. I ask that you consider these points in your deliberations and approve this variance request. I will be back in town August 26 if any of you have specific questions that I can address. Sincerely, David Turnbull 12301 W.

Crookston: Yes Morrow. So moved Corrie: Second Kingsford: Moved by Walt, second by Bob I believe to table this until next meeting, all those in favor? Opposed? MOTION CARRIED: All Yea ITEM #16: PUBLIC HEARING: VARIANCE REQUEST FOR ASFORD GREENS SUBDIVISION BY BOISE RESEARCH CENTER: Kingsford: At this time 1 will open the public hearing and invite the owner or his designee to speak first on that subject. Mike Wardle, 9550 Bethel Court, Boise, was sworn by the City Attorney. Wardle: Mr. Mayor, I guess I would like to take one step back since this is all related. The comments of Mr. Smith submitted with the original preliminary plat were responded to on the 6th of July. Specific information was provided at that point to staff, there has not been a follow up discussion or response since that information was submitted. But in each and every case the information was identified and was indicated that there would be a resolution. But a lot of the resolution will come with final design after preliminary plat approval and those are specific technical resolutions with respect to the sewer or water design. I would also further make the comment that with respect to this project of 154 acres on a 23.98 is not already in the city zoned R-4. And the first phase that we are proposing to submit (inaudible) for many years zoned R-4. So I suppose from a technical standpoint that tabling may be applicable because the southerly 24 acres is not yet officially in the city, but the balance of the project certainly is and 1 think could be subject to annexation of that southerly portion before any development plans would ever be approved for that. So I guess 1 am not certain of how the project works when we do respond and the revised preliminary plat only addressed the issues that came up in the comments and they dealt with concerns stated by Mr. Bowers the Fire Chief s#ated a concern by Mr. Bowers for a flag lot that was rather long in terms of access. That flag lot was removed. It was in response to a comment by staff and 1 am assuming Mr. Bowers constitutes staff, the other change that was made on that preliminary plat was the extension of a street stub to the north to service adjacent property as a direct result of the /'~ Meridian City Council August 16, 1994 Page 24 r-~ conditions that Ada County Highway District put on it which are recommended by your staff as inclusion of conditions for approval of this preliminary plat. Now with respect to the item we are dealing with at the moment and that is only the issue of variance. Let me go back and bring this up it is a little cumbersome the location of the drawings so I can at least point out what we are discussing. There were some dimensional considerations in the preliminary plat that did not conform to the standards of subdivision development or to the R-4 zone. Those in order are there were a number of lots in the project that are 75 feet wide, I think the staff had indicated, in Gary Smith's original comments of some 36% where those lots were only 75 feet in contract to the required 80 in the R-4 zone. There is no lot in the project that will be less than the required 8,000 square feet but because of the depth of a lot of the lots adjacent to the golf course, 75 feet for additional depth we felt that it was a reasonable trade off. So that was the first variance from the standards. The second variance is the length of culdesacs. In our discussions with the planning & Zoning commission there (inaudible) that we have longer culdesacs than normal because we don't to cross the golf course in too many locations. I think that between this and the adjacent property being developed by the Steiner Corporation there are only 3 crossings that occur and so we have this culdesac, this culdesac and this culdesac that are atl in excess of the 450 foot block standards. The third item and it is one that was identified by the staff and frankly I am not certain of how to qualify what constitutes a block or a thousand feet but it is simply included because staff noted it, staff would have to address specifically how that applies to a project of this type or any project for that matter. The fourth specific item which is a deviation from the normal subdivision requirements there are 6 lots off 2 culdesacs, excuse me that are fronted by the private drives. Those are private drives so that we don't end up putting basically putting another public street right into the mist of another public street out at Black Cat. But they provide not only the frontage to those 6 lots but they provide also the utility corridor for sewer and for water extensions which must tie from this location up to the north. So rather than having a street that fronts Black Cat on the inside of the golf course we chose. to do that via private drives for the extension of those utilities and the use of a common area along Black Cat road for again the connection of that sewer and water from culdesac to culdesac. And finally the only other requirement and I suppose that technically they would qualify without a variance but they were simply noted that there are 2 flag lots in Block 8, but are not the normal type lots approved or appreciated by the subdivision ordinance. So those are the 5 items that have been requested with respect to a variance, 75 foot minimum frontage for a number of the lots, but I stress again that in the first phase of the project which is let me just identify what the first phase is, would be the entrance road to this point and then connection to the north and back out to Black Cat with only the lots that front on this road and this road and this main corridor (inaudible) the future club house location as the first phase. The annexation request that was made previously was only for this southerly 24 acres on the extreme south end of the project. So, reduced frontage to 75 feet for approximately 1/3 of the lots depicted on the plat. Three culdesacs that exceed 450 feet in length, block lengths in /'~ Meridian City Council August 16, 1994 Page 25 n excess of 1000 feet. Six lots on private drives, 2 flag lots are the sum total of the variance request. So I would ask the Council to consider and approve these, I would also ask the Council to return to the previous item to reconsider and to give preliminary plat approval subject to exclusion if you will from that portion of the plat that is not currently annexed and zoned R-4 in the City. Because we have made a good faith effort to respond and have provided information and have not received response in turn. I would answer any questions. Kingsford: Questions? Anyone else from the public that would like to offer testimony on the variance request? Seeing none I will close the public hearing, Council members. Morrow. I have a question for Gary with respect to the point that Mr. Wardle brought up, block lengths, the variance for the block length that is in excess of 1000 feet. Smith: Mr. Mayor, Council members I am not a planner, the block length and Mr. Wardle is, if anybody should know what a block length is I think he should but it is the distance between intersecting streets as I understand it. So that in a block, in a series of blocks the distance from one end of that block of lots to the other end of it is a 1000 feet or less. I do apologize to Mr. Wardle, I do have his comments, I received them on July 12th, I didn't realize there was a response required from my department. He did make several comments and did indicate what his request for variances would be. But again the block length is something that I always look at from the ordinance requirements for a plat and as well as the frontage of the lots. And those are items that I checked specifically in accordance with the ordinance requirements for subdivision plats. Kingsford: Any other questions for Mr. Smith? Morrow. I have no other questions. Kingsford: Thank you Gary. Certainly the block lengths when you are dealing with the golf course and traversing those fairways there is no way you are going to have a standard subdivision. If you have a golf course you are going to have some extensions of block lengths. Corrie: Mr. Mayor, I have a question I guess for Wardle, the Fire Department did make comment #hat concerns me too. !t said they do not like private drives because they are not wide enough for vehicles and they will always be parked in those areas and no turn grounds. Any comment on that, what is the width on your private streets, I am not too crazy about private streets either. Wardle: We agree with that and that is why there are very few of them there. They are /'~ Meridian City Council August 16, 1994 Page 26 there because we couldn't find a better solution to deal with the issue. Let me look specifically and see what the width is as depicted on the preliminary plat. 1 have not memorized that. It is not dimensioned but this I believe that they are 30 feet wide and in Gary's comments he indicated that they would require a 20 foot hard surface in that area for access over any utilities as well. So I think the easement is 30 feet so the private drive would be 30 feet and at least a 20 foot hard surface area. Corrie: What about a tum around, if you get a truck in there are you going to back him out, is that the only way we could do it? Wardle: No, not necessarily, in our discussion with the Ada County Highway District they had some of the same concerns. Their concern was that there not be any connection of those roads through those private driveways direct connection to Black Cat Road. However, we did indicate to them that we would make a provision and work with the fire department to deal with emergency vehicle access through the common area which is the separation between the private drives and the public right of way on Black Cat. The details have not been worked out but very likely there will be a restrictive access at the end of those private drives so that instead of a big tall berms there would be fairly low and pefiaps even some type of a concrete walkway that would service to take the vehicles on through if they have to go in there. Corrie: I have a real concern that if you have a fire at the end of one of those private drives and there are a lot of cars in there than you can't get a truck in there. Wardle: Those private drives are also immediately adjacent to Black Cat Road they are not restricted in terms of access from Black Cat that would also have access. Corrie: It is kind of hard to drag a hose across 6 foot fences and everything else to get to a house fire. I just don't like private drives (inaudible) somebody gets a fire back there and there is a party going on you will never get a fire truck back there and the place burns down who is responsible for it, that is my concern. Wardle: (Inaudible) this is not a unique situation it has been done many times and done quite successfully. Kingsford: Any other questions for Mr. Wardle? Is it the Council's interest to reconsider the previous as requested by Mr. Wardle? I see 3 shaking their heads no. What is your .pleasure with the variance? Morrow. It appears to me and for discussion sake that the variance also ought to get tabled because we have not completed the overall annexation for the overall project. We Meridian City Council August 16, 1994 Page 27 n have tabled the plat pending the deeding on the ordinance originally. And so if it is a logical sequence if we have the plat tabled the annexation is not complete then it looks to me like we table the variance request also. Kingsford: What about the findings, what would be the status of those Counselor? Crookston: That is up to the Council, you could request the findings be prepared or you could have the findings tabled along with everything. You wouldn't be able to act on the findings until every thing else is in order. Kingsford; Well, I personally, from my point of view like to see findings prepared at least at this juncture. At least while it is still fresh in everyone's mind. Entertain a motion to have those done. Morrow. So moved Corrie: Second Kingsford: Moved by Walt, second by Bob to have the City Attorney work on findings of fact and conclusions of law, all those in favor? Opposed?

Jim Merkle, 9550 Bethel Court, Boise, was sworn by the City Attorney. Merkle: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, I'm here this evening on behalf of the applicant that I won't try to pronounce it either. This is a proposal for annexation and preliminary plat located at the northeast corner of Ustick and Ten Mile Road. This application is for annexation of 20 acres with R-4 zoning. And for preliminary plat including 58 lots on 20 acres which is roughly 2.9 lots per acre. Access to the subdivision will be from Ustick Road, this entrance right here which will line up right across the street with Candlelight Subdivision which is under construction I believe right now.

Kingsford and Meridian City Council Michael D. Wazdle Project Manager July 14, 1994 Ashford Greens Variance Application 208/322$992 ^ Fax 208/378-0329 The Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the Ashford Greens Preliminary Plat at the regulaz meeting of July 12, 1994. The commission action considered only the single family portion of the development and compliance with R-4 standazds. There aze, however, issues to be resolved before final platting through the attached vaziance application. Specifically, we request: •Reduced frontage to not less than 75 feet for approximately 1/3 of the lots depicted on the revised preliminary plat. (No lots will have less than the R-4 required area of 8, 000 sq. ft.) •Culdesac lengths in excess of 450 feet. (Garner Place, Hennesy Place and Rosberg Place). •Block lengths in excess of 1,000 feet. •Private drives for 6 lots: Lots 8, 9, 10 and 52, 53, 54, Block 2, per preliminary plat. •Flag lots (2): Lots 28 and 29, Block 8, per preliminary plat. (Lot 2, Block 9 "Flag" has been deleted in the revised preliminary plat.) Conditional use applications will be submitted for Lot 56, Block 20, and Lot 5, Block 22 when plans for their development are prepazed and required density transfers aze known. While the application addresses variance issues directly, we believe that the nature of the golf course development requires the culdesac and block lengths to reduce the number of roadway crossings and conflicts with golfmg activity.. . that a reduced lot width is justified due to the generally deeper lots which add to the openness of the course, provide a greater buffer/protection for the homeowner and constitutes only a minor deviation from the ordinance.. . that the private drives aze necessary to access property impacted by the nature of a golf course layout as well as to provide a corridor for utilities.

REQUIREMENTS: VARIANCE Attach a site plan showing all details of the proposed development. Complete the following questions and return with the application. 1. What is intended to be done on or with the property? Single family subdivision surrounding golf course. Potential medium density on two parcels in the future. 2. What special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structure, or building involved and which are not applicable to other lands, structures, or buildings in the same district? Per attached 7/14/94 memo, reduced frontage as offset for generally deeper lots; long blocks, culdesacs to minimize crossings of golf course. 3. Why will a literal interpretation of the provisions of this ordinance deprive you of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the terms of this ordinance? City will benefit from dedication of golf course property while there will be no detrimental impact from slightly narrower lots or longer culdesacs/blocks. 4. What special conditions or circumstances exist that were not a result of your actions? Provision of a functional golf course resulted in extraordinary conditions not applicable to a standard subdivision. 5. Why will the granting of this Variance not confer on you any special privilege that is denied by this Ordinance to other lands, structures, or building in the same district? Lot widths vary only slightly (6.25%) from zone requirements -and not for all lots... CuldesacBlock lengths are unique to a golf course... Private drives/Flag Lots affect only 8 out of 228 single family lots. In summary, the project is different from other R-4 developments and does warrant consideration for the granting of a variance.

Process • Due to the fact that Ashford Greens will be the "vehicle" to implement the final 9 holes of the Cherry Lane Golf Course, the project was submitted as a PUD. • The application was for preliminary plat approval and did not, however, request either a conditional use permit or a vaziance. The PUD process is uncleaz, and due, to workload, staff was unable to provide direction on the appropriate steps. A royals. Two actions are required before the full intent of this project can be achieved: • Variance (to be submitted to the City Council) - Dimensional standazds: lots with less than the 80' frontage required by the R-4 zone. (No lot will be platted with less than the R-4 minimum of 8, D00 square feet. ) - Culdesac lengths in excess of 450 feet. - Block lengths in excess of 1,000 feet. - Private drives for Lots 8, 9, 10 and 52, 53, 54, Block 2, per preliminary plat. - Flag lots: Lots 28 and 29, Block 8, ,per preliminary plat. Conditional Use ~ 'flE ItJ ~:EVI~ED ~ZEL, f~L.~fi - A complete application for a conditional use permit will be submitted when specific development plans for the two medium density pazcels (Lot 56, Block 20, and Lot 5, Block 22 per preliminazy plat) aze prepazed. - The Commission is requested to go on record that a density transfer from the golf course azea dedicated to the City should be considered in, and at the time of said conditional use application, when the specifics of a proposed project aze known. Meridian Planning & Zoning Page Two Commission members apparently did not have adequate information regarding the process by which the property for the Brighton/Boise Research Center application was acquired. Brighton Corporation originally negotiated an agreement with Jim Fuller to acquire the development property surrounding the golf course with the stipulation that Mr. Fuller would deed the golf course property to the City. These negotiations were based on'the original golf course layout which was accepted by the City as the master plan for the golf course in the late 1970's. About this same time, Boise Research Center, Inc. (which shares a common ownership with Brighton Corporation) acquired 55 acres to the south of the Fuller Property with the intention of developing this property as a standard subdivision at R-4 density. After reviewing the existing master plan, Brighton Corporation questioned the desirability and playability of the golf course layout. The fairways seemed much too narrow. After consulting with Mayor Kingsford, Brighton Corporation, at its own expense of approximately $12,000, hired Mr. Dave Peugh to consider alternative golf course designs. After further consultations with Mayor Kingsford and Wally Lovan, the current layout which is incorporated into this application was mutually accepted. Two of the golf course holes were shifted from the Fuller Property to the Boise Research Center Property. Mr. Fuller agreed to revise the description of his dedication to the City to conform with the new golf course layout. However, the basic financial terms of the transaction with Mr. Fuller remained the same. The net result to Brighton Corporation and Boise Research Center, Inc. in the same acquisition cost with a loss of approximately 125 single family residential lots. In discussion with Mr. Wayne Forrey who was acting as the City's planning director at the time, the city would encourage such dedications to the city with consideration of density transfers. This application requests recognition of the density transfer to two blocks of potential medium density housing (such as townhouses and/or condominiums) which would cater to the empty nester or retired golf enthusiast. In conclusion, we request that the Commission recommend approval of Ashford Greens: subject to the granting of a variance by the City Council for those items listed above; and, subject to conditional use applications for the two medium density parcels with consideration at that time for density transfer from the golf course property dedicated to the city through the Brighton Corporation acquisition of the Fuller and Thomas properties.

No other changes have been made in the project layout. The result, however, is a reduction of 6 single family lots overall and only approximately 35 lots have less than the R-4, 80 foot frontage, including those on flags, curves or in culdesacs. We believe that this addresses Mr. Crookston's draft condition No. 6 and No. 15. Further we request: • Insertion of "and the revised preliminary plat dated 12-20-94" after "...conditional use permit application, " in the introduction; • Condition No. 6 should be changed to reference the revised preliminary plat dated 12-20- 94, or be deleted altogether. • Condition 8: Strike "...shall not be eight units per acre... " and insert "eight" as the maximum gross density. • Condition 13: Clarify what the rendering should show. We assume this applies to medium density areas only and should be part of those detailed submittals. • Condition 15: Delete "new preliminary plat and" so that the reference applies to the medium density parcels.

It is clear that the City Council can approve the annexation/zoning, conditional use permit and preliminary plat at the December 20, 1994 meeting. They have received favorable recommendations. from the PB~Z Commission to act on each of those hatters accordiung to the offiicial minutes. And in order to remove any concern, we will have a revised preliminary plat in your office late~Monday that addresses the 75'/80' lot mix issue. I contacted Shari Stiles this afternoon to get her opinion as to whether the mixing of lots per City P&Z and Council desires constitutes a significant change in the plat. She stated that if there was no change in the roadway system, or the subdivision layout...that there was no increase in the number of lots overall...that not more than 65 would be less than 80 feet...and that the change was the result of direction by the Council, then the revision would not be considered siQrlificant. lYi1~;AtlK;I L.

Crookston: Yes it is because there is a determination (inaudible). ITEM #6: TABLED DECEMBER 15, 1994: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR ASHFORD GREENS SUBDIVISION BY BRIGHTON CORPORATION: Kingsford: Council members prepared to deal with that? Counselor, would you be interested in describing the situation to the council. Crookston: Yes, at the meeting on the 15th. of December the special meeting, I presented a motion a draft motion to the Council. I felt that there was, we should not have made a motion at the prior meeting because we needed more time to think about and set forth. I Meridian City Council December 20, 1994 Page 10 prepared the motion, I submitted it to the Council. We gave a copy to the Council, to Mr. Turnbull. I had some discussion later that night with Mr. Turnbull. He generally indicated that the motion, many parts of the motion were acceptable. I've had a discussion today with Mr. Wardle and I think he has some suggested changes. 1 think it would be appropriate for the Council to listen to that. So I think it would be appropriate for the Council to invite Mr. Wardle to make his comments regarding the motion. Kingsford: If t might first, I understand you had a discussion with Mr. Johnson as to P & Z's intent with regard to where they thought they were at with the preliminary plat. Would it not be appropriate maybe to have those comments first. Crookston: Okay, I had a discussion with 4 of the Planning and Zoning members regarding what they thought they had done when they passed the amended findings of fact and conclusions of law and the recommendation that was on those findings of fact and conclusions of law The motion was worded such that there was an approval of a concept. In my discussions with Mr. Wardle his position that the Planning and Zoning Commission approved the preliminary plat on July 12, 1994. His position as best I can state it is that the Planning and Zoning Commission did thereby approve of the preliminary plat and what they were doing. with the conditional use for the planned unit development-was used as a means to handle the variances that they had been requesting prior to the submission of theplanned unit development_application. __As J stated in my discussions with the Planning a~°t€# Zor#~rtt~ ngemb~rs 5~c~rrte sett that t#~ey-t~ad approved tk~e-corrcePt, some #elt that they were approving only the concept of the medium density and that they in essence were approving the plat that had previously been adopted by the Planning and Zoning Commission. It is my understanding that the applicant has revised the preliminary plat to meet many or all of the conditions that the Planning and Zoning Commission wanted on the single family. They indicated to me today, I would. say in a majority they felt that the preliminary plat could go forward, they did not feel that they needed to review it again. And basically it was their position that they felt it was done as far as the preliminary plat, they did say all they did was approve the concept on the medium density and the applicant has in my conversation with Mr. Wardle today he said that is fine, that is all we were looking for on the medium density, they would have to come back to the Planning and Zoning and then the City Council with the specifics as to what they are going to do with the medium density portion. Kingsford: Do you get paid by the word verbally as well as by the page? I fell asleep for a little bit but I think 1 got it all, it is kind of like a soap opera. Jim you substantiate what the Counselor went through rather laborious discussion. (Inaudible) r-1 Meridian City Council December 20, 1994 Page 11 Johnson: We have looked at 3 preliminary plats, there was one submitted in May, there was one altered and submitted again in July and then the final plat was looked at today, we being myself and Shari. And as stated by the Counselor the concerns we had with the single family were addressed. And then our only concern as a Commission was what was going to happen with the medium density and therefore the wording about the concept was acceptable. So we feel that it is time to move it on to the City Council. Kingsford: Mr. Wardle Wardle: Mr. Mayor, I appreciate the summary that Mr. Crookston has provided to you. There are a lot of issues that have been presented both to the Planning and Zoning Commission and to the Council on this particular project. It has taken us awhile to get those things down to a point of approval and I believe that we can and I was prepared to go through the particulars but I believe that the articulation by both Mr. Crookston and Mr. Johnson indicates that the Planning and Zoning did in fact recommend approval of the preliminary plat in July. We have subsequently addressed the issues on the single family portion of that. We have committed, agreed with the idea that we are only talking about concept approval on the medium density parcels. We are going to have to come back and prove to both the Commission and the Council that we can do something in there that conforms to the densities that we have requested. If we can't convince. you it will be something_less -t#~tan :that. _We a~-e ayvare~_of that._ With. respect to the draft_that Nlr. . ~ --_ --`--~~vks~ton provi~d #o you las# vv~ee#~; and-t ~fon't know if that has been redrafted.... We #~ave simply if you would, I didn't mark one up, but do you have a copy of that draft in front of you? We have simply asked that a few minor modifications be considered in the introduction to the motion. At the last line, we would ask the inclusion of this phrasing. Let me just start at the line preceding, "As submitted by conditional use application," then with this inclusion, "and the revised preliminary plat dated 12/20/94." That simply gives everybody a drawing to hang on both from the City standpoint and from ours. That plat change that was made was the direct result of item #6 which Mr. Crookston indicated that he felt needed to be resubmitted, so we did prepare that plat. It is dated 12/20 and was submitted to each of the Council members and to all of the City staff. So, item #6 could either be deleted or it simply could reference the revised preliminary plat dated 12/20/94. Then we ask in condition #8 that you strike the term shall no# be 8 units per acre. Then with that striking put the maximum that we are going to have to come back and show you and substantiate at 8 units per acre for those medium density parcels. We believe that we can do that and we ask for that opportunity. Condition #13 talks about the rendering, and we realize that the ordinance does require a rendering for a conditional use permit but we believe that should be definitely applicable to the medium density parcels. If you want a colored rendering of the single family that may or may not be represented because we will not be dictating precisely what the theme will be but there will be architectural standards. It could be a variety of opportunities afforded to the individual home owners. The Meridian City Council December 20, 1994 Page 12 rendering we believe should be submitted with those medium density parcels. And then condition #15, as presented really talks about the medium density parcels and so I believe that the term new preliminary plat and at the beginning of that could be deleted and simply read the detailed application and site plan for the medium density shall be reviewed and approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council meeting all required procedures. With that Mr. Turnbull who is a new father as of yesterday and opted not to attend the meeting tonight has indicated that he is in favor of completing the task and getting on with the final dedication with this approval and allow the City to start the golf course at your convenience and move forward with a final plat on the first phase immediately. Kingsford: Any questions for Mr. Wardle? Yerrington: Yes, did Mr. Turnbull send down any cigars? Wardle: I am sure that you will get a cigar. Mr. Mayor I appreciate the opportunity to present these items and I appreciate the Council's long suffering in this particular matter. Kingsford: Mr. Crookston, having reviewed those do you see any complication to the City? Most of those are ones that we discussed after the meeting last week. -- _ _. Crookston: t think #ha# the-change in the heading relating to adding the 12/20/94 preliminary plat is fine. I think that we can delete paragraph 6, the change to paragraph 8 is totally up to the Council as to what density you want to allow in the medium density area. The change to paragraph 13, again that is totally up to the Council which relates to whether or not you do want the rendering on the single family. The change to item 15, I think that a preliminary plat is still necessary on the medium density because we have not seen one, so I think it v-rould be wise to keep that statement in there where it says the new preliminary plat, just add a new preliminary plat on the medium density and detailed application and site plan for the medium density. Wardle: I agree with that, I think that clarifies it. Corrie: I agree, I read 15 as a new preliminary plat and detailed application meant for the medium density so. Correct me if I am wrong here, we tabled the preliminary plat, is that what we did previously? We didn't do anything on the preliminary plat we just tabled it is that correct. So we need to bring that back up and (inaudible). Berg: We don't have an ordinance yet do we? Crookston: No we don't Meridian City Council December 20, 1994 Page 13 Wardle: Mr. Mayor, there was an ordinance. Crookston: There was an ordinance prepared but it has not been passed. Kingsford: So I think that if you are satisfied with that motion then probably the ordinance would be the first order because you can't do anything with that until it is all annexed. If you are satisfied with that kind of a motion then I would suggest that we deal with the ordinance and then deal with that motion. Morrow. To express my opinion on the recommendations, Idon't have any problem with the first #1 and #6 are. fine. The question is to what the Council wants whether it be 6, 7 or 8 in terms of the medium gross density. 1t doesn't make any sense to do renderings on single family projects because they could have a multitude of (inaudible) I think the renderings refer only to the medium density projects. The handling of the preliminary plat with respect to the preliminary plat phrase with respect to the medium density as suggested by Wayne makes sense to me also. And I think that the motion also ought to include the stipulation with respect to the deed to the golf course properties. Kingsford: Any other questions or comments of the Council? Corrie:_ So we need_a.motion _to_ riraw up an ordinance. Morrow. We need a decision as to whether it is 6, 7 or 8 units per acre. (Inaudible) Kingsford: Just a comment I guess while you are pondering, let's say you limit it to six than you limit it to 6 without regard to what kind of rendering will come in. Eight is the maximum allowable, I wouldn't mind looking at that if they come in with something that is unsatisfactory than you look at scaling it down would be my suggestion. Morrow: The other thing that I would throw out here is the 8 can always be when the preliminary plat and the rendering are submitted in conjunction. That is the point in time in my opinion to make the determination whether it be 8 or less. Kingsford: Yes, but I do think you want to put a maximum at that point and (inaudible) Morrow: Mr. Mayor I would move that we structure the motion lengthy as it is going to be of which I will try to read that we incorporate everything that is written plus the additional suggestions that have been brought to the table in this discussion this evening. And those additions be that it be 8 maximum gross density, that it is contingent upon receipt of the .-~ ~ Meridian City Council December 20, 1994 Page 14 deed for the golf course property, and that the revisions he has discussed. Tolsma: Second Kingsford: Discussion, I think we still have a problem with regard to the ordinance in terms of timing of when this takes place. Crookston: No, you are not wrong. Kingsford: It is ordinance 666 and we can't find it. Crookston: Since the ordinance was not on the agenda I don't believe that we can pass it tonight anyway. Kingsford: I think it was tabled, even though it is not on the agenda it has been tabled every meeting ongoing because it was never lifted. Crookston: That may be I am just not aware of that is why I said what I did. (Inaudible) Kingsford: We have a motion and a second, what is the damages of doing that, we are only talking about a small portion of this and then get that ordinance back in and work on that. If the Council feels comfortable with that I guess we will deal with both of them tonight. Morrow: Do we deal with both the ordinance and this motion? Kingsford: We will need to have an ordinance and read it separate. I just want to know if you are comfortable. You have a motion and a second, I just want to know if you are comfortable with dealing with this and coming back and doing the ordinance after the fact, which is not kosher and Wayne is almost trying to hold his ears. Morrow. So the actual point of order would be that we do the ordinance first and then do this motion? Kingsford: I think legally that is what you need to do, you can't approve all of those things without having it annexed. Entertain a motion to withdraw the (End of Tape) being withdrawn. Ordinance #666, AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF MERIDIAN ANNEXING AND ZONING CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY WHICH IS DESCRIBED AS A PARCEL OF LAND LOCATED IN THE SW 1/4 OF SECTION 3, T.3N, R.1W, BOISE MERIDIAN, ADA Meridian City Council December 20, 1994 Page 15 COUNTY, IDAHO; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. This is the annexation generally known as the Thomas property prior to that the Baxter property a portion thereof. Anyone from the audience that would like to have Ordinance #666 read in its entirety? Is there a motion? Yerrington: I make the motion Mr. Mayor that we approve #666 with the suspension of the rules. Tolsma: Second Kingsford: Moved by Max, second by Ron that we approve Ordinance #666 with suspension of the rules, roll call vote. ROLL CALL VOTE: Morrow -Yea, Yerrington -Yea, Corrie -Yea, Tolsma -Yea MOTION CARRIED: All Yea Kingsford: I would entertain you motion now Walt. Morrow.. Mr. Mayor I move that we adopt the motion that. is before us in the written format to and inr.~uding the changes that;the Council-has agreed to which would be-the insertion cif the phrases discussed. Insert 8 as a maximum gross density, and that we clarify the requirement for a rendering to be including only the medium density property that on condition 15 it reads that it must be a preliminary plat with the submittal as discussed by the Counselor. And then deeds to the golf course property be transferred at the execution of this agreement. Tolsma: Second Kingsford: Moved by Walt, second by Ron to approve of the written draft with the changes noted stipulating that the gross density for the medium density property be not more than 8, that a rendering be given only on the medium density, that a plat be provided for the medium density and that the deed to the golf course area be received by the City as a condition to signing the plat, approximately right? Morrow. No, the deed to the golf course property be transferred immediately not when the final plat is signed. Kingsford: Okay, the deed be transferred immediately, all those in favor? Opposed? MOTION CARRIED: All Yea Meridian City Council December 20, 1994 Page 16 Kingsford: Walt, could we have a copy of that or one of you guys for the record, the motion. If we have a copy of that than from the tape we can clean up the motion. Mr. Crookston in that motion then we have an item on there the conditional use permit and preliminary plat. In that motion did we do all of that? Where are we at now? We have findings on the conditional use, I guess that has to be approved. Crookston: You do have findings from the Planning and Zoning Commission. If you are going to adopt those then you need to do that. The conditional use and the preliminary plat were not as I heard it recognized in the motion. Kingsford: Deal with the Conditional use first, is council prepared to approve those findings of fact and conclusions of law as presented to P & Z? Yerrington: So moved Kingsford: Is there a second? Seeing none I will entertain the question, Walt. Morrow. In terms of the written motion the text of the written motion did that not address it? Kingsford: 1 think it spoke to a lot of those things but officially did it handle the conditional use I think the answer is yes. I think you need to approve of the findings of fact on that, you need to approve of the conditional use if that is your pleasure and I think you have to approve of the preliminary plat if that is your pleasure. Morrow. With respect to the findings of fact, has there been substantial different testimony since those were written? Crookston: There has not been substantial additional testimony that would effect the conditional use at all. Kingsford: I think roughly the only thing that has changed has been the submittal of a new plat that addressed our desires of not having all of those smaller lots in a row. The findings as adopted by the Planning and Zoning Commission are a lot of it rendered on the basis of an approval of a concept. If you want to approve of those as they stand that is fine, if you want to make changes then we should. I think if it is your desire to go ahead with the findings that have been prepared you do need to particularly change the recommendation and basically make it a decision because that is structured as concept approval. Morrow: What is your recommendation then? /'~ n. Meridian City Council December 20, 1994 Page 17 kston: I think it would be appropriate to have the findings amended so that it shows Croo onion of it and that the medium density a specific approval of the single family dwelling P is fine for the concept approval. Kingsford: Questions of the Council? Is there a motion to that affect. Morrow. So moved Tolsma: Second rove the findings of fact and conclusions Kingsford: Moved by Walt, second by Ron to app roved, single family dwelling of law amended to include th at conditionalaus'e and'that the medium density concept plan unit portion is approved for is approved, Counselor? what I basically here then Crookston: I wasn't quite sure whe the f~ndingsrtof fact as'they stand regardless of the is that the motion is to approv icular inaudible) which you can do and then you will make a subsequent motion or part the decision however you want to word that. ink we amended those findings to include acceptance of the single family Kingsford: I th portion and the concept only of the medium density. Crookston: That is fine. Kingsford: That is what I reiterated in the motion. Rolt call vote. ROLL CALL VOTE: Morrow -Yea, Yerrington -Yea, Corrie -Yea, Tolsma -Yea MOTION CARRIED: All Yea Kin sford: Now, then you are suggesting we need a decision that reflects that? 9 Crookston: Yes or I would move that the decision be that we adopt the findings of fact Morrow. Mr. May and conclusions of law as amended. Crookston: You have already done that. Kingsford: What is the decision you are suggesting Counselor? Meridian City Council December 20, 1994 Page 18 Crookston: You have adopted the findings of fact. Kingsford: Amended findings. Crookston: Right, then you need a decision to approve the conditional use for the planned unit development and I think it would be appropriate to approve the preliminary plat on the single family dwelling portion of the planned unit development. And you have a requirement that the medium density come back to the Planning and Zoning Commission with a plat and the (inaudible) Kingsford: (Inaudible) wrap around thing. We have that in that all encompassing motion that was made some time ago, all of those things. Crookston: I think it would be appropriate on the application to make that motion. Morrow. Mr. Mayor, I vuould move that the decision be that we approve the preliminary plat as submitted on 12/20/94 that we approve the conditional use permit for the medium density parcels and that the medium density parcels be subject to a plat process, renderings and all conditions that were stated prior. Tolsma: Second Kingsford: Discussion Corrie: What about your PUD do we have to approve that as part of the condition. Morrow: That is part of the conditions that were submitted prior. The conditional use permit the PUD is being approved now . Corrie: (Inaudible) Morrow. That was the second part of the item after the approval of the preliminary plat as submitted on 12!2094. Kingsford: It has been moved by Walt, seconded by Ron that the decision be that we approve the preliminary plat on the single family residential, that we approve of the conditional use permit for the planned unit development, that we require that the medium density come back to both P & Z and the Council, was that you full motion? Morrow. Subject to the conditions that we discussed. /'~ ~ ,~ Meridian City Council December 20, 1994 Page 19 Kingsford: Subject to the conditions aforementioned in the previous motion, all .those in favor? Opposed? MOTION CARRIED: All Yea Kingsford: Are we appreciably done with Mr. Wardle? Crookston: To my knowledge we are done. ITEM #7: FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW FOR VARIANCE REQUEST BY JOSEPH AND MARY DAROSA: Kingsford: Does the Council have those, have you reviewed them? Cowie: Mr. Mayor, I move that we accept the findings of fact and conclusions of law on the variance request by Joseph and Mary DaRosa.

No other changes have been made in the project layout. The result, however, is a reduction of 6 single family lots overall and only approximately 35 lots have less than the R-4, 80 foot frontage, including those on flags, curves or in culdesacs. We believe that this addresses Mr. Crookston's draft condition No. 6 and No. 15. Further we request: • Insertion of "and the revised preliminary plat dated 12-20-94" after "...conditional use ~~ permit application, " in the introduction; • ~~ Condition No. 6 should be changed to reference the revised preliminary plat dated 12-20- ~ 94, or be deleted altogether. • Condition 8: Strike " ...shall not be eight units per acre...

ASHFORD GREENS MOTION Page 3 C~Op~7 BEFORE THE MERIDIAN PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION BRIGHTON CORPORATION CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT EAST SIDE OF BLACK CAT ROAD BETWEEN USTICR AND CHERRY LANE MERIDIAN, IDAHO AMENDED FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW The above entitled matter having come on for public hearing September 13, 1994, at the hour of 7:30 o'clock p.m., the Petitioner appearing through the project's engineer, Mike Wardle, the Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Meridian having duly considered the evidence and the matter, and the Applicant making additional comments in letter form and verbal statements at the Commission's meeting on November 9, 1994, makes the following Findings of Fact and Conclusions: FINDINGS OF FACT 1. That a notice of a public hearing on the Conditional Use Permit was published for two (2) consecutive weeks prior to the said public hearing scheduled for September 13, 1994, the first publication of which was fifteen (15) days prior to said hearing; that the matter was duly considered at the September 13, 1994, hearing; that the public was given full opportunity to express comments and submit evidence; and that copies of all notices were available to newspaper, radio and television stations; that the FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Page 1 ASHFORD GREENS /'~ matter came up for consideration again at the Commission's November 9, 1994, meeting at which time the Applicant's two representatives, Mike Wardle and David Turnbull made representations. to the Commission, and the Commission considered the Letter of Applicant's representative, Mike Wardle, dated October 31, 1994. 2. That the property is located within the City of Meridian; it is located on the east side of Black Cat Road between Ustick and Cherry Lane; the parcel is part of a parcel of property that was annexed by the City over fourteen years ago and part of a parcel that has recently been requested to be annexed. 3. In a letter dated August 10, 1994, which was revised September 1, 1994, the Applicant's representative, Mike Wardle, stated the conditional use application is for a planned unit development, that the land is intended to be developed into 228 single family lots plus a medium residential area with 216 residential units, that they desired approval of the overall project, desired approval of 228 single family lots and 216 medium density units, approval of a density transfer from the single family lot and golf course to the medium density parcels, and desired approval of lot frontages, dimensional standards, private drives, "flag" lots, cul-de-sac and block lengths; Mr Wardle further stated that they were aware that the PDR approval for the medium density parcels must be conditioned on a future submittal of specific design plans which would address access, roadways, parking, utilities, open space, landscaping, and other matters; in an additional letter to Shari Stiles dated September 2, 1994, Mr. FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Page 2 ASHFORD GREENS n ~ Wardle stated that the single family dwelling units would be on 78.29 acres with a density of 2.91 dwellings units per acre, and indicated that the medium density dwelling units would be on 27 acres with a density of 8 units per acre; that the total acreage used for residential development would be 123.55 acres with 444 dwelling units, for a total density of 3.59 dwelling units per acre. That the Applicant submitted a Concept Plan on August 10, 1994, apparently along with the letter of that date. 4. The letter dated October 31, 1994, from Mike Wardle to the Commission, is incorporated herein as if set forth in full, including the attached letters dated August 10, 1994, revised September 1, 1994, and September 2, 1994. Regarding the medium density parcels Mr. Wardle stated that a site concept had not been developed for the use which may be condos, townhouses or even cluster homes--detached dwellings in a common area setting, that the density can range from six to ten units per acres, that their calculations showed that the density for the overall project would be 3.59 units per acre for the two medium density parcels and therefore they were not asking for "bonus density" because the overall density of the entire project was 3.59, and that as to being harmonious with other developed areas around the golf course, one of the medium density parcels abutted 850 feet along Golf view Estates and the other medium parcel was completely surrounded by the golf course and the entrance collector road and would have no external impact; he additionally basically commented that the Commission could address the harmoniousness through its review of FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW ASHFORD GREENS Page 3 /"~ ^ the site plan that must be submitted and approved and through a requirement for buffering with landscape, berming and building setbacks. 5. Pertaining to recommended conditions for the medium density parcels Mr. Wardle suggested that PDR approval for the medium parcels is conceptual only, that the maximum gross density of the entire project shall be 3.59 units per acre and for the medium parcels the maximum gross density shall be eight units per acre, that prior to any development of the medium parcels the developer must submit a detailed application for approval, and that the Commission reserves the right to place appropriate conditions on the medium density application in accordance with ordinance requirements for access, roadways, parking, utilities, open space, landscaping and so forth. 6. Pertaining to the long strings of 75 foot lots, Mr Wardle stated the final plat single family lot configuration shall inter- mix 75 and 80-foot- wide lots so that there shall not be more than two 75 foot lots in a row. 7. Pertaining to the Interlachen street connection Mr. Wardle stated that there was clearly a conflict on the issue between City staff and ACRD and solution was for the Applicant to work with both. Mr. Wardle recommended that the Applicant work with both City staff and ACRD to address the connection of Interlachen and Dawson Drive and in so doing to minimize speed and the concept arrived at shall include consideration for development of medium density parcel lot 5, Block 22, and that upon approval of FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Page 4 ASHFORD GREENS ^ ~ the connection of the two streets the Applicant shall provide a revised overall Master Plan/Preliminary Plat incorporating that revision. 8. In the letter dated August 10, 1994, revised September 1, 1994, Mr. Wardle stated, in part, as follows: ". However, the matter of conditional use permit for the 'medium density' parcels is still unresolved. Inasmuch as specific design plans have not been prepared for those parcels--identified on the revised preliminary plat as Lot 56, Block 20 and Lot 5, Block 22--this conditional .use request is for the following: 1. General Approval of the overall; project as a Planned Development Residential (PD-Rj encompassing single family lots, medium density parcels, and golf course." 9. There are single family subdivisions adjacent and nearby; that Golf View Estates and Cherry Lane Village Subdivision Nos. 3 and 4 have larger lots than those shown on the Applicant's concept plan; that most of the lots do have 8,000 square feet but most also only have 75 feet of street frontage; there are some lots with 80 feet of street frontage. 10. Much of the property is already zoned R-4 Residential and the Applicant has submitted an application for annexation and zoning that requests the balance of the property to be annexed and zoned R-4; that the proposed use is for a Planned Development Residential (PD-R) development encompassing single family lots, medium density parcels, and an addition to the City owned Cherry Lane Golf Course, with the City doing most of the development of the golf course. FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Page 5 ASHFORD GREENS ~ ~ 11. Under 11-2-409 ZONING SCHEDULE OF USE CONTROL, A, a Planned Development Residential (PD-R) requires a conditional use permit. 12. A concept plan was submitted to the City, apparently to assist the City in reviewing the Application; a preliminary plat was submitted with the Applicant's Application for annexation and zoning and request for preliminary plat approval; the concept plan and the preliminary plat with the annexation and zoning application showed the proposed layout of the single family dwelling areas but did not show any layout for the medium density areas; no development plans were submitted for development of the medium density parcels shown on the concept plan. The Applicant's Representative, Mike Wardle, in the October 31, 1994, letter, did submit some comments as to how the medium density would be designed, how the lots of 75 and 80 foot frontages would be dispersed, and comments on the difficulty with Interlachen Street and submitted proposed possible conditions on the development; that these comments are stated in paragraphs 4,5,6 & 7. 13. That the Applicant's representative stated at the public hearing on September 13, 1994, that there were two minor changes which were that the maintenance shed area would be changed and a stub street to the north added; that the Application was to have approval of a planned unit development that encompassed single family and medium density dwellings and the golf course; that the Planning and Zoning commission can require the medium density to come back before it; that roadways, access and. other plans could be FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Page 6 ASHFORD GREENS ~ /'1 required; that six lots require private drives; that there are two flag lots and longer cul-de-sacs that need to be approved as part of the PUD. 14. That the Meridian Fire Chief stated that he did not have a problem with this permit, as long as all codes are met; that the Meridian School District commented that it had a problem with the amount of students that would be generated by this development and the cost to the District for educating them and asked for help in dealing with the impact; the Central District Health Department stated that the development was alright if it was provided with central water and sewer, did not cause a mosquito breeding problem, and there was no storm water problem; that Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District commented; that the Meridian City Engineer commented that he hod no comment; that all of the above comments are incorporated herein as if set forth in full. 15. That many of the blocks in Cherry Lane Village No. 1 and No. 2 were alternated with an 80 foot lot and then a 75 foot lot; that those subdivisions were developed before the current Zoning Ordinance was adopted, which now does not allow such in the R-4 District. 16. That Section 11-2-409 A lists Planned Residential Developments as a conditional use in the R-4 zone; that the Subdivision and Development Ordinance speaks to planned unit developments in 11-9-607 and such is incorporated herein as if set forth in full; that section 11-9-607 E states as follows: FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Page 7 ASHFORD GREENS "A PD shall be allowed only as a Conditional Use in each district subject to the standards and procedures set forth in this Section. A PD shall be governed by the regulations of the district or districts in which said PD is located. The approval of the Final Development Plan for a PD may provide for such exceptions from the district regulations governing use, density, area, bulk, parking, signs, and other regulations as may be desireable to achieve the objectives of the proposed PD, provided such exceptions are consistent with the standards and criteria contained in this section."; Section 11-9-607 G. 8. also provides that all Planned Development shall be subject to design review by the City staff and Council; that Sections 11-9-607 A through H are incorporated herein as if set forth in full.; that 11-9-607 E states that a PD shall be allowed only as a Conditional Use in each district, shall be governed by the regulations of the district in which it is located, that a PD may provide for such exceptions from the district regulations governing use, density, area, bulk, parking, sign, and other regulations as may be desireable to achieve the objectives of the proposed PD, provided such exceptions-are consistent with the standards and criteria contained in this Section; Section 11-9-607 D. states that the developer shall provide the Council with a colored rendering of adequate scale to show the completed development that will include at least the following architectural style and building design, building materials and color, landscaping screening, garbage area, parking, and open space. 17. That the R-4 District requirements, such as but not limited to, are 8,000 square foot lots, 1,400 square foot houses, and 80 feet of street frontage, and such are incorporated herein as if set forth in full; that there was no statement from the FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Page 8 ASHFORD GREENS Applicant how the R-4 requirements would be met nor did the Applicant state what the request was as to how the requirements would be excepted; the concept plan does show the proposed exceptions to the street frontage and lot sizes but no mention was made as to square footage, whether there would be duplexes, town houses, or condominiums, or anything that would specifically pertain to what the Applicant characterized as "medium density"; that the Applicant did state in the October 31, 1994, letter that condominiums, twonhouses or cluster homes could be developed, but further stated as a recommendation that the maximum gross density of the medium density areas shall be eight units per acre. 18. That at the November 9, 1994, meeting there was discussion between Mr. Wardle, Mr. Turnbull and Commissioner Hepper pertaining to the mixed density units being owner occupied or rentals and about limitations on how small the dwellings unit could be; that Mr Hepper desired that the units only be owner occupied and was of the opinion that the minimum square footage of the medium density should at this time be set at 1, 300 square feet; that there was discussion from Mr. Turnbull that the square footages would likely vary, and he stated at the end, which Mr. Hepper agreed with, that the 1, 300 square footage was a requirement that could be changed and there could possibly be varying square footages. 19. That sewer and water is available to the property and is required. FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Page 9 ASHFORD GREENS 20. That Larry Sale, from Ada County Highway District commented concerning linkage between Interlachen Way and Dawson Lane; he did not desire Interlachen Way to connect to this development, stating that Interlachen was only a connector road from Cherry Lane to where it ends now and should not be continued as a collector. 21. That proper notice has been given as required by law and all procedures before the Planning and Zoning Commission have been given and followed. 21. That there was no testimony objecting to the application. CONCLUSIONS 1. That all the procedural requirements of the Local Planning Act and of the Ordinances of the City of Meridian have been met including .the mailing of notice to owners of property within 300 feet of the external boundaries of the Applicant's property. 2. That the City of Meridian has authority to grant conditional uses pursuant to 67-6512, Idaho Code, and, pursuant to 11-2-418 of the Revised and Compiled Ordinances of the City of Meridian. 3. That the City of Meridian has authority to place conditions on a conditional use permit and the use of the property pursuant to 67-6512, Idaho Code, and pursuant to 11-2-418(D) of the Revised and Compiled Ordinances of the City of Meridian, Idaho. FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Page 10 ASHFORD GREENS n 4. That the City has the authority to take judicial notice of its own ordinances, other governmental statues and ordinances, and of actual conditions existing within the City and state. 5. That 11-2-418(C) of the Revised and Compiled Ordinances of the City of Meridian sets forth the standards under which the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council shall review applications for Conditional Use Permits; that upon a review of those requirements and a review of the facts presented and the conditions of the area, the Planning and Zoning Commission concludes as follows: a. The Planned Development use, would in fact, constitute a conditional use and a conditional use permit is required by ordinance. b. The use should be harmonious with and in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan but the Zoning Ordinance and the Subdivision and Development Ordinance require a conditional use permit to allow the use. c. The Applicant did not state that the development would be designed and constructed to be harmonious in appearance with the intended character of the general vicinity, which is the Cherry Lane Village Subdivision and Golf View Estates, but in the October 31, 1994, letter the Applicant's representative did comment basically that one of the mixed density developments abutted only 7 lots of Golf View Estates for 850 feet and that the other medium density area was surrounded by golf course and the entrance road and that area would have no external impact. He also stated that the Commission could address the harmoniousness through its review of the site plan that must be submitted and approved and through a requirement for buffering with landscape, berming and building setbacks; that it was concluded in the initial set of Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law that it does appear that it was the intention of the Applicant, in the single family lot area, to make it harmonious with the intended character of the general vicinity, but it would be better to have the lot frontages of 75 to 80 feet alternated so that there are not long strings of 75 foot lots; that the Applicant did FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Page 11 ASHFORD GREENS n n state that the lots with 75 feet of street frontage would be dispersed so that there would be no more than two 75 foot frontage lots in a row; and it is also hard for the Commission to tell if the Applicant intended to have the development be harmonious with the preexisting golf course development without a specific plan for what has been identified as the medium density areas. d. That the use would not be hazardous nor should it be disturbing to existing or future neighboring uses. e. The property has sewer and water service available and will have to be installed and connected by the Applicant. f. The use would not create excessive additional.. requirements at public cost for public facilities and services and the use would not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community. g. The use would not involve a use, activity, process, material, equipment or conditions of operation that would be detrimental to person, property or the general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic or noise. h. That sufficient parking for the property and the proposed use will be required and it appears that parking for the golf course will have to be enlarged. i. The development and uses will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic feature of major importance. 6. That regarding the conditional use finding that must be addressed pursuant to 11-2-418 C 3. as to the harmony of the project to the general vicinity, it is concluded that the harmony must be with the general vicinity, which is the entire golf course area, including Golf View Estates; that by one of the medium density areas being surrounded by golf course and the entrance road does not remove the conditional use requirement that the proposed use be harmonious with the general vicinity. FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Page 12 ASHFORD GREENS r n 7. That it is concluded that Commission appreciates the ideas presented, the concept is generally good, and a suggestion was made that the lots with 75 feet of street frontage would be set so that there would be no more than two such lots in a row, apparently so that the single family lots would be more harmonious with the rest of the golf course property, which in the Cherry Lane Subdivision NOs. 1 and 2 do have many of the 80 and 75 foot lots alternated; that it is concluded that there should be more 80 foot lots and fewer 75 foot lots. 8. That it was stated in the October 31, 1994, letter that the Applicant would work with the City and ACRD to try and work out the connection between Interlachen and Dawson Drive, hopefully so that there would be connection from Cherry Lane to the future club house and if it is connected it should be designed so that speed can be kept to a minimum, both with speed inhibitors, such as mounds and design of the road, which Applicant stated they would work on; that it is concluded that the Applicant, the City and the ACRD should work on this. 9. That it is concluded that there should also be some kind of pedestrian access to the club house and paths for golf carts so that they can get to the club house without having to travel on the golf course. This was not addressed in the October 31, 1994, letter or at the Commission meeting of November 9, 1994. 10. In the letter dated August 10, 1994, Mr. Wardle further stated that they were aware that the PDR approval for the medium density parcels must be conditioned on a future submittal of FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Page 13 ASHFORD GREENS ~ ~ specific design plans which would address access, roadways, parking, utilities, open space, landscaping, and other matters. In the September 13, 1994, public hearing Mr. Wardle stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission can require the medium density to come back before it. In the October 31, 1994, letter, Mr. Wardle stated regarding the medium density parcels, that a site concept had not been developed for the use and that the Commission can address the concern of (harmoniousness) through its review of the site plan that must be submitted and approved. Also in that letter Mr. Wardle, in the portion on the medium density, set forth some proposed conditions. That those conditions were as follows: 1) Pertaining to recommended conditions for the medium density parcels, that PDR approval for the medium parcels is conceptual only. 2) That prior to any development of the medium density parcels the developer must submit a detailed application for approval. And 3) that the Commission reserves the right to place appropriate conditions on the medium density application in accordance with ordinance requirements. 11. It is therefore concluded that this Application is for an approval of a concept plan for a Planned Development - Residential. 12. It is further concluded that the concept for development of the single family portion should be approved by the City Council, including the private drives, "flag" lots, cul-de-sacs and block lengths; that the concept of interspersing the 75 and 80 foot frontages is approved, but the suggested plan of having not more FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Page 14 ASHFORD GREENS than two 75 foot lots in a row since the 75 foot lots do not meet the R-4 requirements, which violation can be granted in a planned development, but having two in a row does not conform to lots in Cherry Lane Subdivision Nos. 1 and 2 or what has been planned in the Steiner Development at the golf course; that it is concluded that the dispersal of the 75 foot and 80 foot lots should be considered by the City Council in its consideration of this concept. 13. It is further concluded that the concept for development of the medium density, in general, without specificity because there was no specicifity, should be approved by the City Council, except as noted below and subject to the suggested conditions of approval submitted by the Applicant, specifically including submission and approval of a detailed application for development and the Applicant meeting the requirements of 11-9-607; that the concept of R-8 density, of eight units per acre, is not recommended to be approved because no plan was submitted for development of the medium density; however the concept of having townhouses, condominiums, or possibly cluster homes, is recommended to be approved. That it is recommended that the City reserve the right to place appropriate conditions on the medium density application in accordance with ordinance requirements. 14. It is also the Commission's believe that an R-8 density, is too dense to be harmonious with the existing development, particularly if the R-8 means eight units to the acre including roads, curbs, gutters, and sidewalks for those units; without a FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Page 15 ASHFORD GREENS ,^ plan to show how the medium density areas would be laid out to show how a greater density would be worked into the number of acres, it is very difficult for the Commission to recommend approval of the medium density concept with the proposed R-8 development; under the current R-8 requirements if the units were single family dwellings there could only be approximately 6.5 units to the acre without including space for roads, curbs, gutters and sidewalks, and those areas must be figured in; if there were two family dwellings there could only be five two family dwellings in an acre, not including space for the roads, etc.; that the medium density development has been recommended for approval as above stated, but it is recommended that the City Council take a strong look at the R-8 development as proposed by the Applicant. 15. That Section 11-9-607 G. 8. provides that all Planned Development shall be subject to design review by the City staff and Council; that it is recommended that this section be a requirement and Applicant required to comply with it. 16. That if the conditional use permit is granted for the planned unit development applied for, all ordinances of the City of Meridian must be met, including but not limited to, the Zoning Ordinance and the Subdivision and Development Ordinance, both as modified by Section 11-9-607 of the Subdivision and Development Ordinance, the Uniform Building Code, Uniform Fire Code, Uniform Plumbing Code, Uniform Electrical Code, the Fire and Life Safety Code, and all parking and landscaping requirements.

Morrow: I believe Mr. Crookston has (inaudible). Crookston: Yes, mostly my fault but I thought that this was on the agenda for the 20th so I did not get things in to the Council in time. What you do have, I have prepared basically I finished it at 7:00 tonight that is what I have given to you is a proposal. t think that you need to read it. It is not to be treated as a guideline, treat it as requirements, it is just what I thought was appropriate. I had taken what Mr. Turnbull and Mr. Wardle submitted to us the other day and added some things to it. I think you just need to address it consider it, make any changes that you want. I think that they would like action as soon as possible but it is totally up to you how you want to handle this. At the last meeting held off, I should say you held off on making a motion at my suggestion because I felt that there were too many items to have a motion made without giving some serious thought to it. You consented to that and I have to apologize that I did not get this to you in time for you to be able to deeply consider it. Kingsford: Counselor, I have just kind of read through it. Could you comment on the additions that you have made. I studied those fairly closely that Mr. Wardle presented us earlier in the week. Would you have specifics on what might be in addition to that? Crookston: In number 3 I put down that it would be not more than 65 lots in the single family areas, not more than 65 lots with 75 foot frontages and there shall not be 2 75 foot lots side by side. I have added some, they stated that the City would reserve the right to place appropriate conditions on the single family lots in areas in accordance with Ordinance requirements. They stated that some items in there like access, streets, roads and things of that nature, I added some things that are requiiatmust be submitted for the bring them to point. Item 6, I stated that a new preliminary p single family portion of the development at the preliminary shall show a new layout of the single family lots to meet the above requirements which is really a reference to the 75 foot frontage lots. I state that the medium density parcels is approved conceptually. There is a question, I state that the maximum gross density of the medium density parcels shall not be 8 units per acre and shall not exceed blank units per acre. That is totally a Council decision, in a discussion that we had with Mr. Morrow there he indicated that he thought that the 8 units was too high. They need to submit a detailed application and site plan for review and approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council on the medium density parcels. Kingsford: I might stop you there and ask Mr. Morrow, I don't recall that from you comments, is that your intent? n Meridian City Council December 15, 1994 Page 44 Morrow: I think my comments in the earlier meeting were that I had some reservations about density at that point in time. I don't know that I expressed a number or a concept of numbers. Crookston: You did not express a number you just indicated that ypu felt that the 8 units per acre was too high. Morrow: And I think I may have (inaudible) something that ought to be open amongst Council members or that would be my feeling, if it wasn't expressed that is what I wish to express. Crookston: That is why I just put a blank in there. Item 10 is reference to basically the same paragraph, number 10 is the same paragraph as number 5. Five pertains to the single family dwelling, 10 pertains to the medium density. Eleven is almost verbatim from what they proposed. I state that some of the requirements of the planned development that 607G 8 requires that there be design review. That is just an ordinance statement. I indicate that the ordinance requires them to submit a colored rendering of adequate scale to show the following that has not been done includes those 7 items stated there. I state that as a condition of #his Concept approval this section shall be met by the applicant. I state that section 11 9-607 E modification of district regulations, I state a portion of that. And I state that the R-4 district is the district requirements that are supposed to be met. I state the the density of the entire project is within the 4 units per acre. Even though there is a medium density provision in the development, I state that the other requirements of the R-4 district may be varied to meet the objectives of this proposed planned development as long as they are desirable. A detailed development plan for the medium density and a new preliminary plat of single family layout is necessary so they can be reviewed to determine if the exceptions to the R-4 requirements are desirable. I state that the new preliminary plat and detailed application and site plan for the medium density shall be reviewed and approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council. The last statement is that with this approval of the residential planned development concept it is appropriate for the City to complete the annexation of the 25 acres along the south side of the development and that prior to passage of the annexation ordinance the applicant deed the golf course property included as part of the residential planned development to the City. Kingsford: Thoughts of the Council? Corrie: Mr. Mayor, I would like to have this for I guess 1 week, the 20th is our next meeting, next Tuesday. There are a couple of things I would like to run by the Counselor, some ideas. So I would move that this be brought back up on the table on the 20th of December for recommendation of passage. Meridian City Council December 15, 1994 Page 45 Tolsma: Second n Kingsford: Moved by Bob, second by Ron to table this to the December 20th meeting next Tuesday, any discussion? All those in favor?

Crookston: I can give them mine because I have mine on computer. ITEM #12: DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR CANVEST (VAN AUKER): Kingsford: At this time I would entertain questions and comments from the Council. Morrow: I guess, what is the status of the development agreement, I have not seen any, there was not one in my packet, what are we doing with it? Stiles: Mayor and Council, Councilman Morrow, Wayne Crookston have you reviewed that, I am not sure where we are on that. Crookston: Yes, 1 reviewed the development agreement on December 1st of 1994 and returned my comments to Will. He apparently then submitted them to Canvest. They have made some changes in the document. I don't feel that they have, let me rephrase that. They have very diligently and rightly so tried to address my comments. But I think that we are in a real difficult area, we are in an area we have not been in before and that is where these people were not applicant for annexation. We need to address that 4M Leasing agrees if they ought to be entering into a development agreement because their land is being annexed that there was not much of any representation by Mr. Van Auker as to what was going to be done with the property. We have statements in here that they are going to meet the representations. There are not many representations that have been made, we need to know in the agreement what they are going to construct. There was a clause in the first agreement that stated developer in accordance with its representations before the City shall on the land described in Exhibit A only construct and went on to say single family houses and that all such single family houses shall have at least they have not applicable square feet of floor space. That certainly is not appropriate for the commercial area that they are in. But I think it should be stated what they are going to construct. I r ~ /\ r~ Meridian City Council December 6, 1994 Page 40 MOTION CARRIED: All Yea FIVE MINUTE BREAK ITEM #27: PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR ASHFORD GREENS SUBDIVISION BY BRIGHTON CORPORATION: Kingsford: At this time I will open that public hearing and invite the owner or his designee to speak first. Mike Wardle, 9550 Bethel Court, Boise, was sworn by the City Attorney. Wardle: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council I added a few pages to your probably ream of paper that you all got for this hearing yesterday. As a result of the Planning Commission approval of the conditional use permit with its findings and conclusions completed last Friday afternoon at 5:30. We worked over the weekend to look at and to respond to those and that information was provided. Hopefully you received that yesterday when we delivered it to the City Clerk's office, the understanding was that there was some additional information coming to you. So, I am going to speak to those particular items that were presented. The process that has brought us here started in May when we submitted a request for annexation and a preliminary plat. At that particular time we were dealing with 24 acres approximately at the southerly end of this entire parcel that had not yet been annexed to the City. Some more than a decade previous the ballast of the property was annexed, had been zoned Rte. We were completing that process, let me just identify that on the original plat that was submitted at that point for clarification. Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, this is the drawing that we submitted at that point and the 24 acre annexation parcel is basically that that is the south end adjacent to the Golf View Estates. The rest had already been annexed and zoned R-4. The annexation process has not been completed for that 24 acre parcel because when we got to the ordinance sometime this summer, there were a number of hearings and I didn't get tracks of all of them, but I believe it was in July that it was tabled pending the deeding of the remainder of the golf course property by Brighton Corporation. In the discussion that centered around the annexation and preliminary plat it was clear that there were issues that needed to be resolved by either a variance or a conditional use permit. We submitted a variance application, that hearing was held in August, it was concluded at that point that the issues needed to be addressed by Conditional Use Permit and not a variance. Hence we did submit and a hearing was held at the City Planning and Zoning Commission level on September 13. Findings and conclusions were tabled in October and amended in November and finally passed last Friday. So what you have before you in the conclusions of that Planning and Zoning Commission action were a recommendation for approval subject to the conditions that were sited in those conclusions. I would like to go through n Meridian City Council December 6, 1994 Page 41 and address only those things that we feel need to have some clarification or comment and those were noted in Page 2 of December 5th memorandum to the Mayor and Council. Items 1 through 4 in those conclusions no comment. In item #5 there were 2 matters that we did want to just discuss briefly. One of them interestingly enough was in the draft that I presented to our typist and did not make it into this final draft and I didn't pick it up and that is the reference to paragraph 8. Let me first speak to paragraph C, it is clearly the intent of the developer Brighton Corporation to create a project that is harmonious with respect to the character of the general area. I believe that the Council in going through the Cherry Lane project will find a great deal of diversity and no common theme with respect to architectural design and standards. The later phases seem to have a lot more unity and probably that is coming from the developers standards through their architectural control. But you will find traditional, you will find some Spanish influence, you will find some contemporary. Quite a diversity, so we certainly agree that harmony is essential and that should be in the single family home area which comprises come 228 single family lot subject to the developers architectural control committee standards. We wouldn't expect the City Staff or the Council would choose to get involved in design standards and design review for those individual homes. We certainly agree with the intent of the Council and the Commission to look at the medium density parcels when specific plans are submitted there. Paragraph H which is not noted here, but speaks to the necessity perhaps for additional parking in and around the club house. And I simply want to go on record in that regard that the applicant will work, we believe that there is adequate room in that vicinity to take care of the parking needs and we will work with the City to assure that the parking need is met. I think part of that will be addressed specifically when a club house design is complete and other calculations that we are really not involved with at this point would be considered in the golf course operation. But it is, I believe that there is room and you have the commitment of the applicant to deal with that. Kingsford: On that subject if I may Mr. Wardle, the discussion has been all along that there be at least 250 spaces that has been consistent. Wardle: My understanding that when Mr. Peugh the golf course designer laid this out that there was provision in his calculation there for that. I am confident that (inaudible). Kingsford: I think that was just rough, I don't know that we are engineered specifically, rough calculations. Wardle: There is no dispute in that at all Mr. Mayor. Item 6 in the conclusions also speaks to the same issue that again regarding the question of harmony and I would just simply restate that the intent of the developer is that there will be a theme or at least controls applied through architectural control on the single family homes and certainly themes established in the medium density parcels. Item #7 speaks specifically to one of Meridian City Council December 6, 1994 Page 42 the issues outstanding and that is the lots less than 80 foot frontage many of which are 75 footers. I simply want to restate again that the applicant is willing to alternate the 75 and 80 foot lots but we simply want to note that only 65 of the proposed 228 single family lots, roughly 28% have less than that R-4 frontage. All the lots in the first final plat phase which we have prepared pending the decision of the Council will meet or exceed the 80 feet required in the R-4 zone. There are no lots in the first subdivision phase that will have less than that frontage. Now there are some lots on the preliminary plat on curves and culdesacs and elbows and so forth with reduced frontages but those will meet the ordinance standards that do make provision for some reductions below that. And I believe that we have dealt with it on other projects and I don't know that there would be any problem here. Item #9, an item that really was not discussed in the hearings but was in the findings deals with the request for a separated pathway and pedestrian system for golf cart access to the club house. This causes us some concern because #1 the fairway design in this phase, the second 9 of the golf course is significantly wider than the earlier phases. There is more room. Pedestrian access is certainly provided via the 5 foot sidewalk system throughout the project. The applicant will work with the City in both of the, in the medium density parcels that are proposed to create some system that will keep the golf carts into a system. There would still be a roadway crossing required from this one something along the roadway would be required. We would certainly work within that context. It really is, we believe impractical to create a separate system for golf carts when not everybody in the project golfs anyway. Certainly, we believe that there will be a greater percentage of golfers in the medium density parcels, the town house/condo areas in whatever configuration that finally comes to be then there would on all of the single family lots. So we would like to qualify that recommendation so that the separated golf cart system is not required for all of the single family lots. Kingsford: May I interrupt Mr. Wardle? While it is fresh in my mind, Mr. Rountree was it the intent of Planning and Zoning on that issue #o have every residence have some sort of access to the golf course? Rountree: I think the intent Mr. Mayor and Council was to try to establish that the neighborhood that is there now has direct access via sidewalks and or streets for pedestrian and golf carts. We were not getting a clear message from the developer how that was going to take place because they were bringing to us that they wanted to terminate Interlachen and provide the existing neighborhood with no access, at least, the southern part, no access to the club house. So to ensure that there is access to that I believe the intent was that it be provided, if they are not going to provide vehicular access via roads that there at least be (inaudible) so those people who have golf carts don't have to go north via the existing street systems up Turnberry and up to Sea Island Court that would come across back to the club house. n Meridian City Council December 6, 1994 Page 43 Kingsford: Of course it has also been my concern about vehicular traffic from the existing subdivision. Rountree: That was our concern as well. And that still has not been resolved. Kingsford: So really we are not talking about really some separate issue it becomes that access, the club house whether it be vehicular or golf cart. Rountree: From my point of view I don't think that was the intent. The intent was to maintain that established access to the club house facilities. Wardle: Mr. Mayor I appreciate that clarification because the way it reads it does suggest that a separate system without that qualification. Kingsford: And I don't think that is any desire that I would certainly have is for everyone to be able to access those fairways from their homes because that would be a nightmare. We have enough problem with people that want to walk out with their clubs let alone their golf cart and start playing. Wardle: It is a nice thought. Kingsford: Not really, we have had realtors in the past that said that was appropriate. It isn't really. Wardle: That is an issue that I believe we are willing to address and let me clarify that we made a recommendation to the Planning and Zoning Commission in a memorandum that was also included here, since we are caught a little bit between Ada County Highway District that doesn't want that connection and the City that does we are committed to find some type of a resolution to that. So, we have committed to do that and I believe that was part of the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission passed on. With respect to providing golf cart access out of the existing area we can accept that qualification. Kingsford: What I hear us saying is that we are just talking about being able to get vehicular traffic, golf cart, people that would be able to walk and so forth to the club house. Wardle: Agreed, I appreciate the fact that a member of the Planning and Zoning is here to assist us in that regard. Items 13 and 14 in the findings and conclusions dealt with the medium density parcels of which there are 2. We did enclose and I believe Mr. Turnbull who will also offer testimony has some additional project examples that may be submitted this evening or at least the discussion of types of projects that may be proposed in these Meridian City Council December 6, 1994 Page 44 areas. We are simply asking as the Planning Commission did in its recommendation that the concept subject to bringing back specific projects that will be looked at and made, well application in separate form and conditions that the City will consider and apply at that time are necessary and we agreed with that. In fact we made some of the recommendations in wording to assist in that regard. The only editorial comment that 1 would make is the findings do talk about R-8 development. If you take up to 8 units per acre is consistent with R-8 we are looking at this project as a planned development. And within a planned development there may be a diversity, the overall density proposed including those 2 parcels that would have perhaps to 8 units to the acre which still fall below the overall 4 units to the acre which are allowable in the ordinance, even with the Fuller property that had already been deeded to the City excluded from that calculation, it is possible under the current ordinance with the land excluding the Fuller parcel to have 494 units, we are proposing 444 if I remember by calculations correctly. So we just site the fact that in Planning and Zoning Commission conclusions #14 it states in part that the medium density development has been recommended for approval. Now finally, item 15, again speaking to the issue of design reviewwe would ask that be qualified to apply to the medium density parcels and not to all of the individual single family lots. And item #16, we draw the assumption that the conditional use permit appropriately modifies the City's ordinances and codes with the application of a conditional use permit. So Mr. Mayor in conclusion we simply are asking that the Council accept the Planning and Zoning recommendation with the qualifications noted and that the approval of the conditional use permit for Brighton Corporation w111 with the conditions applied enable the process to be completed so that the annexation can be included, the balance of the golf course property be deeded to the City. The plat approved and that we can both move forward with development of the golf course and with the project. I would be happy to answer questions that the Council might have. Kingsford: Mike, me first, you talked about the first phase project and so on, a concern of mine is before we can really start to develop the golf course that the roadway be back to the new club house area. What is your time on the building of that road, even though that is not in your first phase, is it your intention, I guess you are going to comment, I will ask when you get here. We will just wait for you. Any other questions for Mr. Wardle? David Turnbull, 12301 W. Explorer Drive, Boise, was sworn by the City Attorney. Turnbull: Mr. Mayor and members of the Council I appreciate the opportunity to address you today and I guess I can answer your question now. I don't think you need to restate it, I guess our commitment would be to have that road completed back there in time, when the club house is going in. So we will make that concurrent. Maybe I would like to ask the question when the club house is going in and that would help me in my planning. I have been advised recently by some pretty wise Council that perhaps I should be a stronger ,~ Meridian City Council December 6, 1994 Page 45 advocate of my own projects and applications. Typically I like to leave these in the capable hands of Mr. Wardle, but I decided I would take a few minutes to speak to this project myself. I would particularly like to address the topic of the medium density parcels. I recognize and appreciate that there may be concerns at to what the likely out come of those is to be. Let me assure that with the substantial investment we have in that area, being the developers of some 200 and 20+ units of single family residential we have as great concem as anyone as to how those parcels turn out. And perhaps we might even be more critical of that then you as the City fathers would be. For that very purpose we are submitting this proposal as a planned development rather than a straight zoning and subdivision application because I think we can get a better project through the planned development process. I would like to quote a little bit from the Meridian City Ordinance regarding the planned development. I will try to be brief, I will try to abbreviate this. Section 907 A states the purpose, City's policy is to encourage developers to utilize the provisions of this section to achieve the following and it lists 8 items all of which I believe this application meets. Specifically I would like to talk about a few of them. Item #3 states a maximum choice of living environments which allows a variety of housing and building types which permits (inaudible) for acre which allows a reduction in lot dimensions, yards, building setbacks and area requirements. And this is precisely our aim, there is no shortages in single family residential homes in the Cherry Lane Golf Course but one of the perhaps you can call it a deficiency or at least where some of the demand deficiency occurs would be for the empty nester or the retiree who wants to live on the golf course or near the golf course for whatever reason. That is part of the market that we plan to target. Item #4 of the ordinance talks about, it says a more useful pattern of open space parks and recreation area. I would just like to point out again that it was Brighton Corporations (inaudible) that this new and I believe exciting golf course design is being proposed. I believe that in everyone's estimation that this is an improvement over the concept that was approved in the 70's. It accounts for an increase in dedicated golf course acreage of approximately 90%. Item #6, says a more convenient use of land and reduced cost of streets and utilities than is generally achieved through conventional subdivisions. And that is particularly critical in the medium density parcels. We believe that these parcels couldn't be adequately or effectively designed and implemented based on standard subdivision criteria and so we will be coming up with some very creative designs incorporating common area amenities and common drive ways, perhaps private streets to really make this a community within a community. Item #7, the development pattern which preserves neighborhood development and stability encourages socioeconomic mixture of people within an environment. Again that is precisely what we propose to do. As I stated before no one here has a greater interest in preserving the continuity of the development then we do. We believe that we can provide for a better mixture of the socioeconomic diversity with this development plan through the PDR process rather than through a straight zoning or subdivision application process. Finally item #8, a development that encompasses maximum design flexibility. Again these types of developments need Meridian City Council December 6, 1994 Page 46 maximum flexibility should not be constrained by standard subdivision ordinance requirements and design requirements. I am sure the question that you all have is just what will these 2 parcels become. Let me as specific as I can possibly be, the development will address the general standards for planned developments listed in Section 9-607 G of the ordinance including accessibility of site, roadways, off street parking, utilities and open space. The development will also address design standards for planned unit development in Section H of the ordinance 9-607 H, including storage areas, parking space and maintenance facilities. I might note there is a requirement in-there regarding boat and trailer and camper storage. My feeling is that those kinds of storage should more appropriately be provided in an off site location so they aren't cluttering up the residential development. We would propose that kind of a alternative method be considered. The development located within these 2 parcels may contain different housing types, sizes and amenities. The types of houses will likely include cluster homes town homes, patio homes, but they would all be part of an owners association, perhaps in a condominium style arrangement with all landscape maintenance, etc. being handled by a single entity. And the architectural theme and design would be consistent. The sizes of the homes we would anticipate that there would be a variety of house sizes, remembering that we are designing these parcels for the retiree or empty nester. Many of these individuals are just like my parents who just recently moved out of a large home. They have no children at home and they wanted to down scale, they don't need the same space as they once did. They want to take their equity and use that for their retirement but they still want to live in a quality environment and quality neighborhood and that is what we intend to provide. Amenities, of course we feel that the dedication of the golf course is part of the amenity package in addition we envision a separate community center. Which will provide social and recreational opportunities to the members. In short, if you drive around this valley you can find certain projects that have implemented this kind of, it is somewhat mixed use development. Compatibility does not mean conformity, it doesn't' not mean everything has to be the same. If you take a look at some of the nicer planned unit developments such as Lakewood where they have a variety of housing types mixed in very tastefully and very well. The same can be said for River Run in fact I was driving through there today and you have densities anywhere from very high densities up to the million dollar estates all within the same neighborhood accessed on the same road. I think these developments will compare, I think our development will compare favorably with these developments. I think those are the kinds of developments that really maintain their property value. In summary we believe that we have brought before you one of the most significant and beneficial development applications this City has seen to date. This is not primarily a zoning matter but a planned development through the conditional use application process. We are asking the application be approved as a whole with single family residential components being allowed to proceed immediately. We recognize that the medium density parcels are subject to further design review by the Council. We have suggested conditions which must be met prior to the development of these parcels and Meridian City Council December 6, 1994 Page 47 n with the Council's agreement in concept to the medium density portion of this application we will proceed immediately with the detailed design stage and be back before you in short order. In fact I have been in contact with some of the top design firms and some of the ones for instance that have worked on Lakewood and other projects that you would recognize and find very acceptable. I am certain that what we bring before you will be, that we will all be very pleased with the result because we wouldn't have it any other way. Thank you for your time and consideration, I will answer any questions you may have. Kingsford: Questions for Mr. Turnbull? Corrie: Mr. Mayor, I don't' have any questions I just want to thank you for your concept here. I'm quite favorable as far as I am concerned, I think that we need this type of program housing. It sounds good so far, just to let you know where I come from. Kingsford: I would just say that I (End of Tape) Meridian has real need for this sort of development. Turnbull: I do have if you would like to add to your ream of paperwork, I do have another 4 examples of these types of projects that range in densities anywhere from 6 to probably 15 to the acre. We are not proposing 15 to the acre obviously that is more of an apartment complex density. But I have those for your review so you can see how these architectural themes can work to create a real community. Kingsford: Any other questions for Mr. Turnbull? Thank you Dave, anyone else from the public that would like to offer testimony on this issue at this time? Seeing none I will close the public hearing. Counselor, legal clarification? The conditional use permit, I believe applies to a small portion that is not yet annexed, how do we treat that we need some guidance there. Crookston: Let me back up a minute. The findings from the Planning and Zoning Commission are a recommendation that the concept be approved. Is that what you are dealing, is that what the Council is dealing with. Because you are not, the P & Z has not recommended specific approval of anything other than the concept. Morrow: I think if I might add that the thing that further would reinforce that comment is that there are several things in here that Mr. Wardle has called attention to and that the P & Z has called attention to that are somewhat vague. For our purposes now and the P & Z has indicated they would like to see less than R-8 or less than 8 units per acre in the medium density, the answer has been we will work with that. Well there is no commitment by which to hang anybodies head on, what does we will work with that mean? What does less than 8 units per acre mean, does it mean 6, 7 or whatever. I have the same problem Meridian City Council December 6, 1994 Page 48 /'~ with the parking space with respect to the club house, we will work with that. What are the specifics of that. I think if this is a concept plan this is fine, I don't have any problem with the concept plan but the very original motions clear back in May or June or July was that prior to the annexation or any further development of anything the deed to the golf course property was to be executed to the City. And so that still in my mind the first step in the process for this entire project in order before I vote favorably on anything other than a concept plan that deed needs to cross the City and then we go on from there in terms of taking the steps as may be required in terms of plats and final plats and conditional uses and so on and so forth. Kingsford: And I guess I don't object to that. I recognize the developers comments too and I think one of these is not inappropriate in that sort of a thing. That the ordinance passage and deed transfer can be at the same time as far as I am concerned. But what I am reading on the agenda item Counselor, we just had a public hearing for a request for a conditional use permit. That conditional use permit is what we had the hearing on and not all of that is annexed. Crookston: That is correct, before you grant a conditional use permit for property that is not now annexed, it should be annexed before you grant that. Kingsford: I think as I look at your map again Mr. Wardle they are small pieces in that but there are in fact 2 of them that lie in that annexed area, the small part on the north and then the southeast corner. So where are we at? Crookston: I think as far as the conditional use as it pertains to the property that has not been annexed it is not appropriate to pass a conditional use permit for that land. Kingsford: But we could deal with the conditional use permit on that property that has already been annexed? Crookston: You could. Kingsford: At least that gives the developer assurance that is the direction we are headed based on the concept plan and so forth. Crookston: But I guess the point I had earlier is I don't know how you can grant a conditional use permit on a concept. Wardle: First a comment just about the .annexation issue. The Council approved the annexation earlier, it was at the point that the ordinance got to the Council to complete the process that the issue came up and the decision was made that w+e need to wrap the whole Meridian City Council December 6, 1994 Page 49 n package together. So we would ask that in some very creative motion that entire package be considered. The very nature of a conditional use permit allows flexibility to deal with even some abstract issues by putting appropriate conditions on. The conditions if I read the Planning Commission recommendation I believe the recommendation was and may I just read the motion, Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission hereby recommends that this matter of a concept of a planned development residential should be approved under the conditions stated in the above findings of fact and conclusions of law. That recommended approval is of the concept without general approval of any specifics which again, I think is fine because we have conditions on the issues that are not yet specified. That any ultimate approval should be subject to all city ordinances, specifically including design review and plat approval under the procedure of the subdivision and development ordinance. I don't believe Mr. Mayor that is telling us that the issue cannot be concluded. The recommendations as we went through all 16 of the conclusions does list recommendations of approval. Kingsford: I agree with that, my problem is approving that before we have the annexation I think becomes a legal problem. Wardle: Mr. Mayor, let me just offer this as a possibility, I have dealt with it in other circumstances and that is that the approval is subject to in addition to the conditions that the Planning Commission recommended that the approval is subject to completion of that particular step. I believe that is legal under the State Land Use Planning Act. I have read and studied that act. I believe it is possible to wrap this thing up Mr. Mayor and I hope that we can do that. Kingsford: Comments of the Council? If I am hearing correctly out of the developer, in earlier discussions tonight that the transfer deed and all of those things ought to be conditioned upon that and that takes place in all of it in one night. That we don't jump and they don't jump until everything is crossed and dotted. Now I think you can make such a motion that includes before it is annexed the deed transfer to the City that it be researched (inaudible) with needs of the golf course that all of the things in the findings be met before that annexation ordinance is signed and filed. Counselor Crookston: Well, first of all there is no doubt that this is the first time that we have dealt with this. If you are looking for a motion, I think it is appropriate not to make it tonight. I think that is something that needs to be, the findings need to be gone through. The deed situation if that is a condition, I am not sure that we can accurately address it without considerable forethought. I think that what the Planning and Zoning thinking was that they liked the idea, but there were no specifics particularly within the medium density. Kingsford: And I don't think the developer is asking for any. n Meridian City Council December 6, 1994 Page 50 Crookston: I think that the Planning and Zoning Commission wanted to know that is why they adopted these findings. Kingsford: Which more or less spell out that nothing can happen there until those thing occur. That specifics are forthcoming. Crookston: That certainly very well may be, Charlie may want to address that issue. That is another reason that I say we need to put some thought into the motion as to what excuse me not only what the City wants but also what the developer wants to see. What he is willing to have conditioned and how it might be conditioned. Kingsford: Well, I think he said he is not asking for any conditions on the R-4 portion aside from the street frontage that we have talked about at great length before. As I look at the findings, virtually all of the other issues are taken care of in the medium density. And so then you get to the deed and that doesn't take much of a motion to wrap that around that the ordinance doesn't get signed and recorded until there is a transfer of deed to the City. Crookston: It is just my desire to draw a letter and let it sit for a day and look at it again and see if what I said is what I thought I said. Kingsford: Mr. Turnbull Turnbull: I would just like to say a few things, first there is a great deal of specificity in probably 80% of the project which is single family residential and that is outlined in pretty great detail. I have seen this Council make motions a number of times on approval of annexation subject to certain conditions be it development agreements or whatever that if they weren't executed and those conditions weren't moved forward than the property was subject to de-annexation. And I think that is an appropriate means of handling this situation. I am ready, willing and able to give the ground to the city but if I give you a legal description based on a certain project and the project doesn't exist it doesn't do any of us any good. So, I mentioned that and I know Mr. Councilman Morrow made the motion originally on the annexation at the time I said I thought it was more of a platting or PDR issue on the dedication of the ground. And that the dedication of the ground should occur we have a defined project. So if that helps because I know you have given additional annexations before if that helps move the process forward. I would hope that there could be some kind of all inclusive encompassing wrap around motion that could move this project fonnrard. We recognize that the medium density parcels must come back for specific detail and further design review by Planning and Zoning Commission and the Council. I think, everyone I have talked to has said they are comfortable with the concept and we have said continually that we will be back in with more specifics and we will spend a great Meridian City Council December 6, 1994 Page 51 deal of money with architectural firms and so forth putting together those specifics once we know we have something to work on. So that is my comment, I appreciate your consideration. Morrow. Question with respect to a lot of these gray areas in their item 7 they state all lots in the first final plat meet the 80 foot frontage requirement. Apparently the 75 foot lots are going to be interspersed in some other phase. Kingsford: I think the first, did it even have 75 foot frontages, I thought you said that the first phase was all going to be 80's. Morrow. That is what it says here but the P & Z findings indicate those ought to be interspersed. Kingsford: I think P & Ts findings were that the one street had virtually all 75 footers and they were talking about not having them all in sequence but that they be dispersed not all be on that inner roll. Not necessarily I don't' think in that phase 1. Morrow. The point of my question was that at what point are they going to intersperse the 75 foot lots with other lots and where is that located? That is a gray area that is clearly not addressed here. The question that I am asking is that do you address that now with the development agreement for the first final plat and address all of these gray areas. I am of mind such as Wayne is that I am having difficulty visualizing an all encompassing motion that defines the issues in the findings of fact in comparison to Mr. Wardle's comments that he doesn't agree with the findings of fact. And not interspersing 75 foot lots with the 80 foot lots. Where is that going to happen, or is it one day we are going to wake up and now there is 28% percent of the lots left in phase 10 and they are all 75 foot wide. So in fact that interspersing didn't occur. Kingsford: Given what I am hearing, would Council and Walt would you be comfortable in a table and have that motion perhaps ready on the 15th at the special meeting. Morrow. I don't have a problem with that I just want to see some specifics. Kingsford: And then perhaps be ready to move forward on the 20th? Morrow: That is fine with me. Kingsford: What that then necessitates I think is a dialogue closely back and forth and have that for sure put together as you have indicated to embrace these conc~rn~-of ttre developer as well as ours. n Meridian City Council December 6, 1994 Page 52 r't Morrow: That is correct, because in fairness to both we can sit up here and it is like arguing the definition of a road. A road to you and I is curb, gutter, sidewalk and asphalt. To somebody else it might be road mix and that is it. So both of the (inaudible) get exactly what it is we want and when reality sets in a year and a half later nobody is happy. I just want to make sure that David and group understand what it is we want and we understand what they want and so we have some format from which to start with. That is as I see the issue. Corrie: Mr. Mayor that is what I am hearing, 1 may be hearing it wrong but I think that is what you want and I know that is what we want. So let's sit down and set it out on paper and we know where we are and you get what you need and we get what we need and start this thing and move on. I think we can do it in 2 weeks. Morrow: The other thing is in terms of P & Z and what concept you have, some of the findings are a little gray here and can we deal with some facts. Give us the benefit of your expertise also. Rountree: I think some of the comments and conditions are gray because we didn't have any specifics to provide guidance to you all. We didn't know, particularly in the area of the medium density, large lots, 2 big areas in the development that is all we had. And I can speak for myself not the rest of the Planning and Zoning, I think the concept is great. My concern is that, nothing to do with the transfer of title on the golf course property or any of that, but if they decide to sell R-8 or R-15 to some other developer and I know they don't intend to do that, but stranger things have happened out there. and other places in Meridian then we are stuck with no specks and a zoned piece of property that somebody can come in and do something. Kingsford: As I see though Charlie we haven't given any approvals. Rountree: That is right and we didn't recommend approval of the zoning we recommended approval of the concept and wanting to see specifics on the concept once they are put together. Kingsford: And that would come out in the sale of the property too. Rountree: It could, but we don't have anything with that piece of property other than it is going to be medium density. (Inaudible) Rountree: I think the concept is great, I think everyone else on the Planning and Zoning /u'~ Meridian City Council December 6, 1994 Page 53 ~~ did too, but there are just those questions. What is it going to look like, what is it going to entail. What kind of restrictions are we going to be able to put on it. What kind of restrictions are they going to put on it? As far as the single family residential part of the subdivision I think the first phase was clean. It was, 1 don't know which phase, but the one street that basically had all 75 foot frontages on it, our recommendation in the conditions in the findings was to alternate those at least on that street so we get some broken up frontages. Get some 80, 85, 75 whatever so you don't have. I think there were probably 30 - 40 lots together on that one street that were all together were 75 feet. We felt that you could lose a lot and widen some out or whatever. That is why we came up with that condition. 1 think that would clean up the rest of the single family residential concerns that Planning and Zoning had for that, but basically the concerns were medium density, large pieces of ground with not knowing what is going to go on it. Morrow. I think having heard that I would like to move to table until the 15th at our special meeting and then take the appropriate action based on the negotiations between Mr. Turnbull and Wayne Crookston and then also re-agenda the results of that for our meeting on the 20th. Yerrington: Second Kingsford: Moved by Walt, second by Max to table the Ashford Green decision until the special meeting the 15th pending a discussion between the City and the applicant and reconsider on the 15th and have a finding back again later on the 20th, is that correct? All those in favor? Opposed? MOTION CARRIED: All Yea Kingsford: I think we need to have representation from the Council in addition to Mr. Crookston, who would be amenable to meeting with Mr. Turnbull and Mr. Crookston on that? Corrie: I could if Walt is not able to. Morrow. Whatever it doesn't matter to me. Kingsford: I would just like one of you to. (Inaudible) Corrie: Mr. Mayor, I do have 2 letters that I referenced to the traffic to Interlachen (inaudible) when vwuld I present this to the Council, this is from people that live in the first i f~ Meridian City Council December 6, 1994 Page 54 part. This is where Ashford Greens and Interlachen connect, their recommendations (inaudible). It was mailed to me and they asked that it be part of the record. We haven't gotten to that yet but should I wait until that period comes. Kingsford: Was it their intent to have that as part of the public hearing? Corrie: No, not at this point. Kingsford: Whenever you think it is appropriate. I don't think he is talking about development of that parcel yet, but it is still my desire at least for the city that we have some sort of a connection for vehicular traffic other than up and around. Corrie: They were saying they would like to see a culdesac and not a through street. Kingsford: They don't want to get to the club house, basically you are saying they are not golfers. Corrie: Probably not, it was just a letter that was sent to me. That is just one person, that is still on record, but I will submit that at the proper time. ITEM #28: MARTY GOLDSMITH: DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR SALMON RAPIDS SUBDIVISION AND LOS ALAMITOS SUBDIVISION: Kingsford: Where are we at with those? Marty did you get our .comments back from Wayne and Shari? (Inaudible) Kingsford: Counselor were those hand written? Crookston: Yes Kingsford: We don't have those in our packet because he was waiting for those to come back from Marty I guess. Do you have problems with those Marty, have you reviewed them? Go ahead and come up and let us know your name. . McCall: Brian McCall, I am Mr. Goldsmith's attorney. Basically the short answer to that is we do not. We are dealing with 2 development agreements one for Salmon Rapids and one for Los Alamitos. And with the exception of, both of these agreements were originally prepared by the City and Mr. Goldsmith already signed the agreements. The agreements then were the signature by the City was held up pending Councils comments.

Haley DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT Dan Mabe, Finance & Administration DIRECTORS Sheryl Belknap, Elementary Jim Carberry, Secondary Christine Donnell, Personnel Doug Rutan, Special Services auc~9isg~ CITY ~~ t~~~~~~~~,; I have reviewed the application for Ashford Greens Subdivision and find that it includes approximately 444 homes at a median value of $175,000. We also find that this subdivision is located in census tract 103.10 and in the attendance zone for Linder Elementary, Meridian Middle School and Meridian High School. Using the above information we can predict that these homes, when completed, will house 162 elementary aged children, 134 middle school aged children, and 166 senior high aged students. At the present time Linder Elementary is at 1058 of capacity, Meridian Middle School is at 130 of capacity and Meridian High School is at 112 of capacity. The Meridian School District is not opposed to growth in our district, however this subdivision will cause increased over- crowding in all three schools. There is little opportunity to shift attendance boundaries since the surrounding schools are also well over capacity. A school site needs to be determined before any more subdivisions are approved in this square mile. Even if we were willing to use portable classrooms for a year or two, this project would require eight classrooms at the elementary level, seven at the middle school level and seven at the high school level. To build portables ready to occupy by students will cost approximately $40,000 each. As you can see the total for nineteen portables would be $880,000. We would welcome a meeting with you to find ways of mitigating the projected costs to the school district. n n We are in a difficult position and need your help in dealing with the impact of growth on schools.

BRUCE, Secretary AugUSt 2 9 , 19 94 Mayor Grant Kingsford 33 East Idaho Meridian, ID 83642 Re: Ashford Greens Subdivision Interlachen Way Dear Mayor Kingsford: In the Council's action regarding the Ashford Greens project last week it was unclear what the Council expected to see in the way of a connection from the project to Interlachen Way and I wanted to make sure the City was aware of the Highway District's opposition to a direct connection in this location. Although Interlachen Way is designated in part as a collector, the section of Interlachen that stubs into Ashford Greens is a local residential street. Also, the section of Interlachen that is designated as a collector has front-on housing with driveways backing directly onto the street. ACHD's current policy does not allow this practice on collectors. It is the opinion of the Highway District that any significant additional traffic on Interlachen Way will result in a major increase in the number of citizen complaints about the traffic on Interlachen Way as a result of the increase in traffic. If the requested extension of Interlachen Way to Dawson Drive is made, the current average daily vehicle trips on Interlachen will increase from about 100 currently to approximately 1,500. We have found that complaints about volumes and speed of traffic increase dramatically as volumes near 900 to 1,000 trips per day. ACHD's staff report for Ashford Greens (dated June 17, 1994) contains the following Fact & Finding and resulting Site Specific Requirement: Fact & Finding #9. Interlachen Way stubs to the property boundary of this site in the southeast where multi-family dwellings are proposed. Staff recommends that a direct street connection not be allowed from Interlachen Way to Dawson Drive to eliminate the potential for cut-through traffic. Staff recommends that Interlachen Drive be terminated and a private road or driveway provide a circuitous connection for the townhome development to Dawson Drive. ada county highway district 318 East 37th • Boise, Idaho 83714 • Phone (208) 345-7680 n Site Specific Requirement #8. Interlachen Way shall not connect with Dawson Drive. These were adopted by the ACHD Commission on June 20, 1994, and are now the official position of the Highway District. Because of the increased traffic that the proposed connection would direct onto Interlachen Way, the Highway District strongly urges the City to not require the connection as described in some of the City's correspondence on this application. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Should you have any questions, please call me or Karen Gallagher at 345-7680.

But the existing Cherry Lane "character" is quite diverse and exhibits no common theme. The issue of harmony should be addressed with the submittal of the specific development plans for the medium density. areas, whereas, individual single family homes should be subject to the developer's architectural control committee standards, not to design review by the City staff and Council. • Item 6 -Same commentary as Item 5, para. c, above. • Item 7 -The applicant is willing to alternate 75 and 80 foot lots, but notes that only 65 of the proposed 228 single family lots (28%) have less than the R-4 frontage. - All lots in the first final plat meet the 80' frontage requirement. - There are some lots on curves, culdesacs and "elbows" with reduced frontages, but they will conform to City standards for such situations. • Item 8 - No comment. • Item 9 -The applicant is unaware of a separated pathway system for golf cart access to the clubhouse in any part of the Cherry Lane Golf Course area, including the newest phases. - Pedestrian access is provided by the required 5 foot sidewalk system. - The applicant will work with the City to provide such a separated system within the two medium density areas which likely will have a greater percentage of golfers than single family areas. • Item 10 -The applicant will submit detailed site and building design plans to the City for subsequent approval. • Item 11 - No comment. • Item 12 -See Item 7, above. /'\ Mayor Kingsford December 5, 1994 Page Three /'~ • Items 13 and 14 -The applicant is simply requesting that the City approve the concept of allowing medium density of up to 8 units per acre, subject to further review and approval. - Units may be townhouses, condominiums or detached cluster homes (see enclosed concepts) . - These "projects" may not reach 8 d.u.'s per acre, but the applicant wants the assurance that if such proposals--at up to 8 units per acre--address City concerns for compatibility, design harmony, size and traffic circulation that they will be given just consideration. - Please note in the findings and conclusions (Item 14) "that the medium density development has been recommended for approval... ". - The issue is not R-8 development, it is an R-4 PD-R with aless-than-allowable maximum density of 3.59 d.u.'s per acre. - What is the purpose of the PD provision of the ordinance if all elements of the project are not considered part of the "whole" instead of their individual pieces? • Item 15 -See Item 5, c., above; design review should be applicable to the medium density parcels, not to the individual single family dwellings. • Item 16 -Assumption: conditional use permit approval appropriately modifies the City's ordinances and codes. In conclusion: City Council approval of the Brighton Corporation conditional: use permit application--in concert with the preliminary plat subject also to those conditions--will enable the applicant to complete the dedication of the golf course land required for completion of the annexation process. Thus, the City will be able to commence planning and development of the golf course and the applicant will be able to file the first development phase (all single family lots) and begin to make the long-awaited project a reality.

The details, restated at the September.l3th public hearing, concern 3 basic issues: 1) Two medium density parcels for which specific design plans have not yet been prepared; 2) Lot dimensional standards; i.e., 75' frontages for some lots versus the 80' requirement within the R-4 zone (all lots will meet or exceed the 8,000 square foot requirement of the R-4 zone); and 3) 6 lots served by private drives, 2 flag lots, culdesac lengths in excess of 450' and blocks in excess of 1000'. In the draft "findings and conclusions," Mr. Crookston articulates each of those items from hearing testimony in paragraphs 3. page 2 and 8, page 4. It is apparent that the Commission generally favors the Ashford (.ireens concept, but had concerns for the medium density parcels, "long strings of 75 foot lots," and the connection of Interlachen to Dawson Drive. Those primary concerns led to tabling by the Commission. rte, Meridian City P&Z Commission . Memorandum dated 10-31-94 Page Two In response.. . • Medium density parcels - We have not yet developed a site plan concept for this "use" which may be condos, townhouses or even cluster homes--detached dwellings in a common area setting. - These types of projects can range from 6 to 10 units per acre. - Our calculations clearly note that, at 8 units per acre for these 2 parcels, the overall project density will still only be 3.59 units per acre, or 444 dwellings versus the 494. maximum allowable in the R-4 zone. For this reason, we have not requested the "bonus density" noted in paragraph 7, page 9. It is not necessary since there are less than 4 units per acre. - As to being harmonious with other developed areas around the golf course: one of the parcels shares a common boundary with Golf View Estates for approximately 850' and abuts 7 single family lots. The other parcel, Lot 56, Block 20 is completely surrounded by golf course and the entrance collector road and will have no external impact. The Commission can address this concern through its review of the site plan that must be submitted and approved--and through a requirement for buffering with landscape, berming and building setbacks. Recommended conditions for medium density parcels: - This PDR approval for "medium density" parcels is conceptual only. - The maximum gross density of the entire project shall be 3.59 units per acre (444 units) and for the "medium density" parcels, the maximum gross density shall be eight (8) units per acre. - Prior to any development of the medium density parcels, the developer must submit a detailed application for approval. - The Commission reserves the right to place appropriate conditions on the "medium density" application in accordance with ordinance requirements for: Access, roadways, parking; utilities; open space, landscaping; and so forth. • Long strings of 75' lots Recommended condition: - The final plat single family lot configuration shall inter-mix 75 and 80-foot-wide lots so that there shall not be more than two 75' foot lots in a row. r1 Meridian City P&Z Commission Memorandum dated 10-31-94 Page Three Interlachen connection - There is clearly a conflict on this solution appazent to the applicant is resolve this matter. issue between staff and ACHD. The only to work with both City staff and ACHD to Recommended conditions: - The applicant shall work with City staff and ACRD to address the connection of Interlachen to Dawson Drive. Said concept shall be designed to minimize speed and shall be included in any consideration for development of medium density pazcel Lot 5, Block 22. - Upon approval of the connection by the City, the applicant shall provide a revised overall Master Plan/Preliminary Plat incorporating that revision. In summary, we believe that the Commission can, through its conditions of approval, pass this project on to the City Council. Then with Council approval, the golf course completion may become a reality and the applicant will be able to commence the first single-family phase. 035.mem ~`J~V ENGI/yF~~~ `~ l"1 RUBBLE ENGINEERING, INC. 9 y 9550 Bethel Court ^ Boise, Idaho 83709 208/322-8992 ^ Fax 208/378-0329 Z~ SURVE~~Q September 2, 1994 ~~ rl l 11 CIV 1 Shari L.

The process for approval of Ashford Greens has included preliminary platting and a variance request for relief from several City subdivision design standards. The next City Council meeting will decide these issues. However, the matter of a conditional use permit for the "medium density" pazcels is still unresolved. Inasmuch as specific design plans have not been prepared for those pazcels--identified on the revised preliminary plat as Lot 56, Block 20 and Lot 5, Block 22--this conditional use request is for the following: 1. General Approval of the overall project as a Planned Development Residential (PD-R) encompassing single family lots, medium density parcels, and golf course. 2. S ecific a.

Approval of lot frontages, dimensional standazds, private drives, "flag" lots, culdesac and block lengths in accordance with the revised concept plan/preliminary plat submitted herewith, and with the variance application on July 15, 1994. We aze awaze that the PDR approval for the medium density parcels must be conditioned on a future submittal of specific site design plans which will address all of the ordinance requirements for: - access, roadways, parking; - utilities; - open space, landscaping; - and so forth. It is necessary to process this conditional application in a timely manner in order for the Brighton Corporation to feel confident that their project objectives will be met--and for the City to finally secure the land for the long-awaited golf course. I believe that we should schedule a meeting with the Mayor and Wayne Crookston prior to the Planning and Zoning hearing to discuss the process in the absence of a detailed "medium density" plan and density' sues.
