RE: Ramble Wood Subdivision
Dear Councilmen:
I have reviewed the application for Ramble Wood Subdivision and
find that it includes approximately 13 homes at the median value
of $100,000. 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 5 elementary aged children, 4 middle school
aged children, and 4 senior high aged students. At the present
time Linder Elementary is at 137 of capacity, Meridian Middle
School is at 129 of capacity and Meridian High School is at 116
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. Before we could support this
subdivision, we would need land dedicated to the district or at
least made available at a minimum price for a school site in this
area. The site would need water and sewer service available. In
addition we would need to pass another bond issue for the
construction of schools.
The cost per student for newly constructed schools, excluding
site purchase price and offsite improvements, exceeds $5,000
per elementary student and $10,000 per middle or high school
student.
We are in a difficult position and need your help in dealing with
the impact of growth on schools.
Sincerely,
Dan Mabe
Deputy Superintendent

RE: Bramble Wood Subdivision (formerly Ramble Wood) Preliminary Plat
Dear Ms. Stiles:
This letter is a response to your May 26, 1994, comments and concerns about the above
noted preliminary plat. With regard to your comments, we offer the following information in
that through it we may obtain approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission.
1. A stub street has been provided to the western properly line. The Ada County
Highway District removed their requirement that a stub street be extended to the
eastern property boundary. We have established Lot 5 as a sewer lot for the extension
of sewer services to the east. This was done in response to Mr. Gary Smith's
comments during the public hearing.
2. A note has been added to the attached amended preliminary plat.
3. The southern edge of the Bureau of Reclamation 140' right of way is adjacent to the
northern property boundary. All of the Bureau's right of way lies on property which
is owned by someone other than the developer of Bramble Wood Subdivision. If
required, the developer of Bramble Wood can provide an .access point to the north;
but, again, the property lying between the Bramble Wood northern property line and
Five Mile Creek is owned by another individual.
4. The developer understands the situation with regard to the waste-water treatment
plant. If a note is required for the final plat, one will be provided. Please advise us
of the appropriate language for the note.
5. As soon as the covenants have been completed, they will be submitted to the city of
Meridian.
13ranme wood Subdivision
Project 1318
6. A note has been added to the attached amended preliminary plat.
7, A twenty foot (20') planting strip easement has been established along Ustick Road.
8. Utilities are shown on the amended preliminary plat.
9. Shown on amended preliminary plat.
10. A copy of a vicinity map with a 'fi mile radius is attached.
11. A note has been added to the amended preliminary plat.
12. Please provide the Develome 's Agreement as soon as possible.
Hopefully, this information will assist you in your review of this application as it goes before
the Planning and Zoning Commission. If you have questions or need additional information,
please let me know.
Respectfiilly,

~' Ms, Stiles:
During our visit in your office yesterday, You said that you were interested in l~mowing what Ada
County rcquiresl oa plats regarding agrielaitorsl uses. The following is the note that Ada County
requires on most plats:
This development reoogni~es Section 22-4503 of the Idaho Code, Ritght-~a-Farm Act,
which states: "Fdo agricuhural operation or an appurtenance to it shad. be or tyecoyne $
nuisance, private or public, by arty changed cx~nditions in or about the sutrouttding
nonagricuhurat activities after the ssnne has begin in operation for mare than one (1) year,
when the operadon aras not a nuisance at the tine the operation began; provided that the
provisions. of this section shall not apply wheme°+rer a nuisance results from the improper or
negligent operation of any agricultural operation or appurtenans~e to it."
I don't 1[ttgw if'this will help you in regard to the waste-water treatment facilit3r', b~rt, you. may fsnd
it useful in other cases.
Sincerely,

RE: Request for Annexation and Concurrent Rezone of 4.~8 Acres
Dear Gentlemen:
RE~E~~~D
APR f 4 f994
C;'~l( ~~' 1~~~iii~rll~l
This is a request by Dan Hardee for, annexation and concurrent rezone of 4.38 acres located
on the north side of Ustick Road in the southwest quarter of Section 35, Township 4 North,
Range 1 West. This is approximately 1600 feet east of the intersection of Ustick Road and
Ten Mile Road. The corporate limits for the city of Meridian are adjacent to the south
boundary line of this .property.
We are seeking annexation into the city of Meridian with a concurrent change of zone from
R1 (Estate Residential), an Ada County zoning designation, to R4 (Residential). Also,
accompanying this annexation and rezone request is an application for approval of a thirteen
(13) lot preliminary plat to be known as Ramble Wood Subdivision.
The 4.38 acre site contains asingle-family dwelling and three detached accessory buildings.
The majority of the site is presently used as pasture. The site is bounded on the south by
Ustick Road; on the north by Five Mile Creek; and, on the. east and west by smaller
agricultural parcels. The site slopes from the south to the north. Avery small portion of the
site lies within the identified flood hazard area (Zone ~ of Five Mile Creek (Panel 143,
F.LR.M:, Ada County).
The area south of Usdck Road has been approved for residential development. Fieldstone
Subdivision is in the process of developing in this area. The city of Meridian Comprehensive
Plan Map designates this site, and the surrounding area, as appropriate for single-family
residential development. Municipal services (sewer and water) are available to this site.
We are seeking annexation into the city of Meridian with a concurrent rezone to R-4
(Residential): The site is presently zoned R1 (Estate Residential). This County zoning
designation permits one dwelling unit per acre. We are asking for the R-4 Zone which
tu>~ Annexation/Rezone
Project 1318
~ /'~
permits up to four dwelling units per acre. This proposal is compatible with the existing
development south of this site and with futwe development in the area.
Development of the parcel will be in compliance with the goals and objectives of the
Meridian Comprehensive Plan and will be in compliance with the provisions of the Meridian
Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances. The accompanying subdivision application and letter of
explanation addresses the requirements for subdivisions.
The site will be served by municipal sewer and water services. The site is located within 'h
mile of the proposed regional park. North of this site, near Five Mile Creek, a pathway is
designated on the Comprehensive Plan Map. As stated previously, the corporate limits for
the city of Meridian are adjacent to the southern boundary of this site.
This request for annexation and concurrent rezone is in compliance with the provisions of the
Meridian Comprehensive Plan. We ask that the Commission make a favorable
recommendation to the City Council concerning this application.

RE: Preliminary Plat Application for Ramble Wood Subdivision (13 Lots)
Dear Gentlemen:
This is an application by Dan HardeelHardee Construction seeking approval of a thirteen (13)
lot residential subdivision on the north side of Ustick Road approximately 1600 feet east of
the intersection of Ustick Road and Ten Mile Road. The site is 4.19 acres in size and is
located in the southwest quarter of Section 35, Township 4 North, Range 1 West of the Boise
Meridian, Ada County, Idaho.
The site is presently located outside of the corporate limits of the city of Meridian.
However, because the site is contiguous to the city limits, an annexation request, with
concurrent zone change, accompanies this subdivision application. We are asking that this
site be annexed into the city of Meridian with a zoning designation of R-4 Residential. This
proposal complies with the design and development standards for residential development in
the R-4 Zone.
This 4.19 acre site presently contains asingle-family dwelling and three (3) detached
accessory buildings. The site contains a slight slope from south to north. This slope
becomes more pronounced north of the northern property line as the topography drops toward
Five Mile Creek. A small portion of the site lies within the Zone X, Flood Hazard Zone for
Five Mile Creek (Panel 143, F.I.R.M., Ada County). Zone X designates the approximate
limits of the 500 year flood.
This subdivision proposal will develop fifteen lots. These lots will range in size from 8,245
square feet to 14,542 square feet in size. All lots will have access and frontage onto a public
street which will extend northward from Ustick Road into the development. These lots will
be developed in compliance with the standards of the R-4 Zone.
The area near the site is in transition from larger tracts of agricultural land toward smaller lot
urban residential development. South of the site, across Ustick Road, is the Fieldstone
>s~b>e w~a s~~~
Yrojecx 1318
~ ^
Subdivision. This subdivision is developing as an R-4 Residential Subdivision. Much of the
area north of Ustick Road is still in agricultural use. However, the 4.19 acres adjoining this
site to the west is zoned R1 (Estate Residential). This is an Ada County zoning designation
which permits development at a density up to one dwelling per acre.
The Meridian Comprehensive Plan designates this site as an area appropriate for single-family
residential development. Municipal services have been extended into the area; and, this
proposal will utilize those services. This site is also within 'fi mile of the proposed regional
park at Ten Mile and Ustick.
This proposal has been designed to be in compliance with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan
and the Meridian Zoning Ordinance. The site is in an area where up to four dwellings per
acre may be developed. This proposal has an overall density of 3.10 dwelling units per acre.
The lots comply with the size requirements of the Meridian Zoning Ordinance. The houses
of this development shall also comply with the standards of the Zoning Ordinance.
In summary, this subdivision request accompanies an application for annexation and
concurrent rezone of 4.19 acres to R-4 Residential. This proposal will develop thirteen (13)
residential lots which range in size from over 8,000 square feet to over 14,000 square feet.
The overall density of this proposal is 3.10 dwellings per acre. This is in compliance with
the provisions of the Meridian Comprehensive Plan which permits development of up to four
dwellings per acre. This proposal will be served by municipal sewer and water services; and,
the proposal is located in an area where parks and recreational amenities are proposed.
This proposal complies with the goals and policies of the Meridian Comprehensive Plan and
with the design and dimensional standards of the Meridian Zoning Ordinance. We
respectfully ask that the Planning and Zoning Commission make a positive recommendation
to the City Council concerning this proposal.
Respectfully,

FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Page 3
~ ~
10. The Ada County Highway District, Central District Health
Department, the Nampa Meridian Irrigation District, City Engineer,
City Police Department, Idaho Power, Nampa & Meridian Irrigation
District, Meridian School District, Ada County Street Name
Committee and City Fire Department did submit comments and such are
incorporated herein as if set forth in full.
11. The City Engineer, Gary Smith, submitted comments and he
stated that restrictive covenants need to be submitted, that the
highest seasonal groundwater elevations need to be determined, that
a portion of the property was in a flood hazard area and he
questioned whether the should be a berm/landscaped lot along lots
1 and 13 to provide privacy and sound protection for those lot
owners.
12. That the Planning director submitted comments, some of
which were similar to those of the City Engineer, but also that a
development agreement was required as a condition of annexation and
that a link to the proposed bike path on Five Mile Creek was
needed. She also commented that the sewer plant is to the
northwest of this site and the prevailing winds carry odors on
occasion to this property, that all adjacent agricultural uses must
be protected, that 20 foot landscaped lots maintained by a
homeowners association should be provided along Ustick Road, and
that a development agreement was required as condition of
annexation.
13. The Meridian School District's comment on this annexation
request was that the subdivision proposed for the land would mean
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Page 4
~~ ~~\
20 elementary aged children, 17 middle school aged children and 20
senior high aged students; that Linder Elementary School is at 137
of capacity, Meridian Middle School at 129 of capacity and the
Meridian High School at 116 of capacity; the District went on to
state as follows:
"There is little opportunity to shift attendance boundaries
since the surrounding schools are also well over capacity.
Before we could support this subdivision, we would need land
dedicated to the district or at least made available at a
minimum price for a school site in this area. The site would
need water and sewer service available. In addition we would
need to pass another bond issue for the construction of
schools."
14. That the property is shown on the Meridian Comprehensive
Plan as being in a Single Family Residential area.
15. That in the Rural Area section of the Comprehensive Plan,
Land Use, Rural Areas, Section 6.3, it does state that land in
agricultural activity should so remain in agricultural activity
until urban services can be provided.
16. That Meridian has, and is, experiencing a population
increase; that there are pressures on land previously used for
agricultural uses to be developed into residential subdivision
lots.
17. That the property can be physically serviced with City
water and sewer, but the sewer may be a problem because a lift
station may be required and it is the policy of the City to avoid
lift stations if at all possible; another means of sewer service
may have to be investigated.
18. That the R-4, Residential District is described in the
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Page 5
/'~
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.
19. 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, town houses, apartments,
condominiums, etc. ) for the purpose of providing the City with
a range of affordable housing opportunities."
20. 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 .
.'
21. That the Meridian Comprehensive Plan, under Land Use,
Rural Areas, 6.4, it states as follows:
"Residential development is allowed in the rural area provided
that said development does not exceed the Rural Residential
Agricultural density, unless it is inside the Urban Service
Planning Area and City sewer and water is provided, then Low,
Medium and High density residential may be considered. All
residential development must also comply with the other
appropriate sections of this plan."
22. That the Meridian Comprehensive Plan, under Housing,
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Page 6
/'1
Housing Policies, at page 66, it states as follows:.
"1.1 The City of Meridian intends to provide for a wide
diversity of housing types (single-family, modular,•~~mobile
homes, multi-family, town houses arrangements),
"1.3 An open housing market for all persons, regardless of
race, sex, age, religion or ethnic background."
"1.4 The development of housing for all income groups close
to employment and shopping centers should be encouraged."
23. 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.
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. 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.";
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Page 7
/'~ ~
that the City of Meridian is concerned with the increase in
population that is occurring and with its impact on the City being
able to provide fire, police, emergency health care, water, sewer,
parks and recreation services to its current residents and to those
moving into the City; the City is also concerned that the increase
in population is burdening the schools of the Meridian School
District which provide school service to current and future
residents of the City; that the City knows that the increase in
population does not sufficiently increase the tax base to offset
the cost of providing fire, police, emergency health care, water,
sewer, parks and recreation services; and the City knows that the
increase in population does not provide sufficient tax base to
provide for school services to current and future students.
26. That pursuant to the instruction, guidance, and direction
of the Idaho State Legislature, the City may impose either a
development fee or a transfer fee on residential property, which,
if possible, would be retroactive and apply to all residential lots
in the City because of the imperilment to the health, welfare, and
safety of the citizens of the City of Meridian.
27. That Section 11-9-605 C states as follows:
"Right-of-way for pedestrian walkways in the middle of long
blocks may be required where necessary to obtain convenient
pedestrian circulation to schools, parks or shopping areas;
the pedestrian easement shall be at least ten feet (10')
wide."
28. That Section 11-9-605 G 1. states as follows:
"Planting strips shall be required to be placed next to
incompatible features such as highways, railroads, commercial
or industrial uses to screen the view from residential
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Page 8
~ ~
properties- and shall not be a part of the normalfstreet right
(20') wide,
of way or utility easement."
29. That Section 11-9-605 H 2. states as follows:
"Existing natural features which add value to residential
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;"
30. 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."
31. 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. The
Commission and Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Page 9
/'~
the Bicycle Pedestrian Desictn Manual for Ada County (as
prepared by Ada County Highway Da.strict) when reviewing
bicycle and pedestrian pathway provisions within developments.
32. That proper notice was given as required by law and all
procedures before the City Council were given and followed.
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 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 City Council 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 all notice and hearing requirements set forth in
Title 67, Chapter 65, Idaho Code, and the Ordinances of the City of
Meridian have been complied with.
5. That the City Council may take judicial notice of

existing within the City and State.
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Page 10
/'~ ~
6. That the land within the proposed annexation is
contiguous to the present City limits of the City of Meridian and
the annexation would not be a shoestring annexation.
7. That the annexation application has been initiated by the
Applicant with the consent of the titled owners and the annexation
is not upon the initiation of the City of Meridian.
8. That since the annexation and zoning of land is a
legislative function, the City has authority to place conditions
upon the annexation of land. Burt vs. The City of Idaho Falls, 105
Idaho 65, 665 P.D 1075 (1983).
9. That the development of annexed land must meet and comply
with the Ordinances of the City of Meridian and in particular
Section 11-9-616, which pertains to development time schedules and
requirements, Section 11-9-605 M., which pertains to the tiling of
ditches and water ways, and Section 11-9-606 B 14, which pertains
to pressurized irrigation; that the Applicant will be required to
connect to Meridian water and sewer; that the development of the
property shall be subject to and controlled by the Subdivision and
Development Ordinance; that, as a condition of annexation the
Applicant shall be required to enter into a development agreement
as authorized by 11-2-416 L and 11-2-417 D; that the development
agreement shall address the inclusion into the subdivision of the
requirements of 11-9-605 C, G. , H 2, K, L; that the development
agreement shall, as a condition of annexation, require that the
Applicant, or if required, any assigns, heirs, executors or
personal representatives, pay, when required, any development fee
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Page 11
/'~ ~
or transfer fee adopted by the City; that there shall be no
annexation until the requirements of this paragraph are met or, if
necessary, the property shall be subject to de-annexation and loss
of City services, if the requirements of this paragraph are not
met. The development agreement shall also address the landscaping
along Ustick Road, and maintenance thereof, by a mandatory home
owners association rather than the individual lot owners. The
Applicant shall adopt Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions as a
condition of annexation and they shall require a mandatory
homeowners association which can assess dues and fees.
10. That the Applicant's property is in compliance with the
Comprehensive Plan, and therefore the annexation and zoning
Application is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan.
11. That the requirements of the Meridian City Engineer and
of the Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District, Meridian Fire
Department, Idaho Power, U. S. West, and the comments of the
Meridian Planning Director and City Engineer and these Findings and

12. That all ditches, canals, and waterways shall be tiled as
a condition of annexation and if not so tiled the property shall be
subject to de-annexation; that the Applicant shall be required to
install a pressurized irrigation system, and if not so done the
property shall be subject to de-annexation.
13. That the Applicant will be required to connect to
Meridian water and sewer and resolve how the water and sewer mains
will serve the land; that the development of the property shall be
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Page 12
/'~
r
subject to and controlled by the Subdivision and Development
Ordinance.
14. That proper and adequate access to the property is
available and will have to be maintained; that the house size of
1,400 square feet must be met.
15. That these conditions shall run with the land and bind
the applicant, the titled owners, and their assigns.
16. With compliance of the conditions contained herein, the
annexation and zoning of R-4 Residential would be in the best
interest of the City of Meridian.
17. That if these conditions of approval are not met the
property shall be subject to de-annexation.

ITEM #16: PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR ANNEXATION AND ZONING WITH A
PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR BRAMBLE WOOD SUBDIVISION BY HARDEE
CONSTRUCTION:
Kingsford: At this time I will open that public hearing and invite the owner or his designee
to speak first.
Ted Hutchinson, 109 South Fort Street, Boise, was sworn by the City Attorney.
Hutchinson: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, this is a 13 lot residential subdivision
located on the north side of Ustick Road a little more than a 1/4 mile east of the
intersection of Ustick and Ten Mile. This is contiguous to the city limits which is on the
south side of the centerline of Ustick Road making this parcel contiguous. We are
requesting annexation with a zoning designation of R-4. The preliminary plat has gone
through a number of revisions as we attempt to comply with the requirements and
comments from the City staff and to ensure that the plat is in compliance with the
requirements of the R-4 zoning regulations that are in effect at this time. We have
indicated on the plat the location of an existing flood hazard area, I believe it is in an A
zone. We have provided a 20 foot planting strip easement along the lots adjacent to
Ustick Road, those will be parts of Lots 1, Block 2 and Lot 1, Block 1. I believe that would
satisfy the requirements as called out in the zoning ordinance. I believe the applicant is
here to address some of the things that were in the findings of fact from the Planning and
Zoning Commission. However we do believe that this plat is in compliance with the
regulations that are in effect at this time. Are there any questions from the Council?
Dan Hardee, 6477 Fairview, Boise, was sworn by the City Attorney.
Hardee: The only thing that we would like to have you look at for us is on the the 2 lots
that face Ustick Road, what we would like to do there rather than have an association for
the maintenance maybe put a deed restriction in each lot that would allow for the
maintenance for that lot so it would be a separate lot that would be part of Lot 1 and then
we would put a deed restriction in there so that the owner would have to maintain that
along with his own home. I don't think that would be too much of a problem in that they
Meridian City Council

are going to want to keep that property in good shape anyway and it seems a little
cumbersome to have an association to do just those 2 little strips of land. So that was the
only comment that we had. Any questions.
Morrow. You are proposing a subdivision with no homeowners association is that correct?
Hardee: Yes
Kingsford: Any other questions of the Council? Anyone else from the public that would
like to offer testimony on this issue?
John Schaffer, 2788 West Ustick Road, was sworn by the City Attorney.
Schaffer: I own the piece of property 4.5 acres to the west of the proposed subdivision.
I would request that a wood fence or something similar to that be constructed between the
2 properties with a neighbor friendly type fence. Also, I would request that a fence be
installed at the dead end road (inaudible) to the west. I would also ask that the review
team look at the elevations and contour lines for the flood plain in this area to verify the
floodplain. It also brings up some questions with the sewer line running along the
easement along Five Mile Drainage, how this will be installed, be a water type system or
an elevated type system. If it is the elevated type system will the weather proof type road
have to be elevated to meet the requirements to elevate the manholes out of the
floodplain. If that is the case the run off to my property does run to Five Mile I would
request that a run off culvert or something be installed underneath that roadway for the
collection of the irrigation water that does run to the north. Also I would like to take a look
at how the irrigation water if there is a head gate that feeds the property from the south
side to the property how that will be handled. They did address the homeowners
association, they would prefer not to, I would like to see a homeowners association if
possible. I realize it is a small subdivision but that one person may not take of the fences
or the trees or the landscape between their property and Ustick Road. And an association
is a little more aggressive I guess with the entrance of their subdivision. That is about all
1 have.
Kingsford: Questions for Mr. Schaffer? Anyone else from the public that would like to offer
testimony on this issue?
Stacie Tully, 2510 West Ustick Road, was sworn by the City Attorney.
Tully: Our property is directly east of the proposed Bramble Wood subdivision. The first
item I would like to address is the preliminary plat application that was received by the City
of Meridian on April 14, 1994. On the first page paragraph 3, it states the 4.19 acre site
/"r
Meridian City Council
September 6, 1994
Page 21
presently contains a single family dwelling and 3 detached accessory buildings. That
statement is incorrect, that is a description of our property. The Bramble Wood proposed
subdivision is a piece of bare land (inaudible). The next thing is when we attended the last
Planning & Zoning meeting on August 9 we were finally allowed to see a detailed map of
the property. On that map it showed the sewer line stopping approximately 80 feet west
of our property line. We vwuld like to have that line but all the way to the property line so
in later years is we decide to develop we could hook into the line and not have to tear up
the street. The next concern is our west pasture that borders that property, we have cattle
in it all year round. We would like to see a fence put up there before any building begins
so we don't have trash blowing over or thrown over into our property. And then I would also
like to have a homeowners association too like Mr. Schaffer mentioned.
Kingsford: Any questions? Anyone else from the public that would like to offer testimony
on this issue? Seeing none I will close that public hearing, Counselor are the comments
different substantially?
Crookston: 1 don't believe that Mrs. Tully testified before Planning and Zoning. 1 don't
think her comments are, they are more specific than what she wants than was addressed
at Planning & Zoning.
Kingsford: You didn't answer my question.
Crookston: I know it. I would have to look at the P & Z findings again to really make a
judgement call as to whether or not we need amended findings.
(Inaudible)
Kingsford: I would entertain a motion to have the City Attorney review and prepare
amended findings if that is appropriate.
Yerrington: So moved
Corrie: Second
Kingsford: Moved by Max, second by Bob to have the City Attorney prepare revised
findings and conclusions, all those in favor? Opposed?

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:
1. The legal description submitted as Exhibit "A" of the warranty deed is adequate for annexation
description purpose. This property is contiguous to existing city limit created by the old
Sunnybrook Farms annexation.
2. A vicinity map should be submitted showing existing land use for a distance of 1/2 mile
in all direction.
3. Submit Ada County Street Name Committee approval.
4. Show street right of way widths.
5. Show referenced benchmark for contour lines.
6. Show proposed and existing utilities such as: storm sewer; sanitary sewer; irrigation ditch
piping; water system; fire hydrants; street lights. How are you proposing to connect to
sanitary sewer?
7. Submit proposed restrictive covenants.
8. Establish highest seasonal groundwater elevation.
9. Flood Hazard Area - Zone X - is shown in the legend but doesn't show on the drawing.
The FIRM does show a Zone X flood hazard area. Show it on the plat drawing.
n
10. A flag lot needs to look like a flag (ordinance definition). A flag lot can have 30 foot
frontage width. Otherwise, lots on a culdesac, hammer-head need to have frontages to
yield a 40 foot chord.
11. What is the status of the property to the west? Is this the same ownership?
12. Shouldn't aberm/landscape lot be provided along Lot 1 and 13 to provide privacy/sound
protection for these lot owners? This has been a standard detail on other subdivisions
.abutting a section line road that will most likely develop to four travel lanes.

DATE: May 26, 1994
SUBJECT: Annexation and Zoning with a Preliminary Plat for Ramble Wood Subdivision
Request for annexation and zoning of R-4 for 13 lots on 4.19 acres generally complies with the
Comprehensive Plan and minimum requirements of the Zoning and Development Ordinance.
The following exceptions are noted:
1. Stub street to the west must be provided; ACHD has indicated stub street to east may also
be required for sewer service.
2. Add note that direct lot access to Ustick Road is prohibited.
3. Development must provide link to Five Mile Creek proposed bike path and so state use
in the notes. Contact John Anderson at Nampa-Meridian Irrigation District for necessary
license agreement/land use application. The Bureau of Reclamation owns the 140' right-
of-way (70' of centerline) on this stretch of Five Mile Creek. It appears the entire
northerly boundary abuts the right-of-way. The City's Zoning Map shows this parcel and
parcel to the west as being zoned R1 and going to the centerline of Five Mile Creek.
The legal description submitted shows this parcel abuts the right-of--way of the Five Mile
Drain. License agreement with Nampa-Meridian Irrigation District and/or Bureau of
Reclamation must be submitted to develop this portion of the City's greenbelt.
4. This site is southeast of the City's wastewater treatment plant. Winds prevailing from
the northwest may impose negative impacts on property owners. All rights of adjacent
agricultural uses must be protected.
5. Submit proposed covenants for review and approval prior to final plat submittal.
6. Add note that lots are intended for single-family dwellings only.
7. Twenty-foot landscaped lots maintained by homeowners association should be provided
along Ustick Road.

~ n
reference is incorporated herein; that the property is
approximately 4.38 acres in size; it is approximately 1,600 east of
the intersection of Ustick Road and Ten Mile Road; the development
would include 13 lots.
3. That the property is presently zoned by the County R1
(Estate Residential); 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..
4. The present land use has one single family residential
home and three accessory detached buildings with the remainder of
the property being used for pasture; that the Applicant's
application for subdivision approval, submitted with the

meet the ordinance requirement which is 1,400 square foot homes;
that the Applicant's representative testified that there would be
improvement placed along Ustick Road and that the property owners
would maintain them and that there would be landscaping of lawn,

that they will fence the road stubbed into John Shaffer's property.
5. That the property is adjacent and abutting to the present
City limits.
6. The Applicant is not the owner of record of the property
but the owners of record, are Willis R. Nelson and Elaine E.

Application.
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW/RAMBLE WOOD Page 2
/'`~ n
7. That the property included in the annexation and zoning
application is within the Area of Impact of the City of Meridian.
8. That the entire parcel of ground requested to be annexed.
is presently included within the Meridian Urban Service Planning
Area as the Urban Service Planning Area is defined in the Meridian
Comprehensive Plan.
9. That there was one person testifying at the hearing; that
John Shaffer, the owner of the property to the west, testified that
he was not against the development but he questioned what would
prevent foot traffic from coming onto his property; that if there
was a pathway along five Mile Creek he wants access to the pathway.
10. The Ada County Highway District, Central District Health
Department, the Nampa Meridian Irrigation District, City Engineer,
City Police Department, Idaho Power, Nampa & Meridian Irrigation
District, Meridian School District, Ada County Street Name
Committee and City Fire Department did submit comments and such are
incorporated herein as if set forth in full.
11. The City Engineer, Gary Smith, submitted comments and he
stated that restrictive covenants need to be submitted, that the
highest seasonal groundwater elevations need to be determined, that
a portion of the property was in a flood hazard area and he
questioned whether the should be a berm/landscaped lot along lots
1 and 13 to provide privacy and sound protection for those lot
owners.
12. That the Planning director submitted comments, some of
which were similar to those of the City Engineer, but also that a
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW/RAMBLE WOOD Page 3
n ~
development agreement was required as a condition of annexation and
that a link to the proposed bike path on Five Mile Creek was
needed. She also commented that the sewer plant is to the
northwest of this site and the prevailing winds carry odors on
occasion to this property, that all adjacent agricultural uses must
be protected, that a 20 foot landscaped lots maintained by a
homeowners association should be provided along Ustick Road, and
that a development agreement was required as condition of
annexation.
13. The Meridian School District's comment on this annexation
request was that the subdivision proposed for the land would mean
20 elementary aged children, 17 middle school aged children and 20
senior high aged students; that Linder Elementary School is at 137
of capacity, Meridian Middle School at 129 of capacity and the
Meridian High School at 116 of capacity; the District went on to
state as follows:
"There is little opportunity to shift attendance boundaries
since the surrounding schools are also well over capacity.
Before we could support this subdivision, we would need land
dedicated to the district or at least made available at a
minimum price for a school site in this area. The site would
need water and sewer service available. In addition we would
need to pass another bond issue for the construction of
schools."
14. That the property is shown on the Meridian Comprehensive
Plan as being in a Single Family Residential area.
15. That in the Rural Area section of the Comprehensive Plan,
Land Use, Rural Areas, Section 6.3, it does state that land in
agricultural activity should so remain in-agricultural activity
until urban services can be provided.
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW/RAMBLE WOOD Page 4
n
16. That Meridian has, and is, experiencing a population
increase; that there are pressures on land previously used for
agricultural uses to be developed .into residential subdivision
lots.
17. That the property can be physically serviced with City
water and sewer, but the sewer may be a problem because a lift
station may be required and it is the policy of the City to avoid
lift stations if at all possible; another means of sewer service
may have to be investigated.
18. 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.
19. 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."
20. 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
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW/RAMBLE WOOD Page 5
~ n
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 .
.„
21. That the Meridian Comprehensive Plan, under Land Use,
Rural Areas, 6.4, it states as follows:
"Residential development is allowed in the rural area provided
that said development does not exceed the Rural Residential
Agricultural density, unless it is inside the Urban Service
Planning Area and City sewer and water is provided, then Low,
Medium and High density residential may be considered. All
residential development must also comply with the other
appropriate sections of this plan."
22. That the Meridian Comprehensive Plan, under Housing,
Housing Policies, at page 66, it states as follows:
"1.1 The City of Meridian intends to provide for a wide
diversity of housing types (single-family, modular, mobile
homes, multi-family, townhouses arrangements), ."
"1.3 An open housing market for all persons, regardless of
race, sex, age, religion or ethnic background."
"1.4 The development of housing for all income groups close
to employment and shopping centers should be encouraged."
23. 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.
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
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW/RAMBLE WOOD Page 6
n
the city and designated in an approved development agreement; that
such comment is equally applicable to this Application.
25. 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
able to provide fire, police, emergency health care, water, sewer,
parks and recreation services to its current residents and to those
moving into the City; the City is also concerned that the increase
in population is burdening the schools of the Meridian School
District which provide school service to current and future
residents of the City; that the City knows that the increase in
population does not sufficiently increase the tax base to offset
the cost of providing fire, police, emergency health care, water,
sewer, parks and recreation services; and the City knows that the
increase in population does not provide sufficient tax base to
provide for school services to current and future students.
26. That pursuant to the instruction, guidance, and direction
of the Idaho State Legislature, the City may impose either a
development fee or a transfer fee on residential property, which,
if possible, would be retroactive and apply to all residential lots
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW/RAMBLE WOOD Page 7
/'~
in the City because of the imperilment to the health, welfare, and
safety of the citizens of the City of Meridian.
27. That Section 11-9-605 C states as follows:
"Right-of-way for pedestrian walkways in the middle of long
blocks may be required where necessary to obtain convenient
pedestrian circulation to schools, parks or shopping areas;
the pedestrian easement shall be at least ten feet (10')
wide."
28. That Section 11-9-605 G 1. states as follows:
"Planting strips shall be required to be placed next to
incompatible features such as highways, railroads, commercial
or industrial uses to screen the view from residential
properties. Such screening shall be a minimum of twenty feet
(20') wide, and shall not be a part of the normal street right
of way or utility easement."
29. That Section 11-9-605 H 2. states as follows:
"Existing natural features which add value to residential
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;"
30. That Section 11-9-605 R 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;
FINDINGS OF FACT AND .CONCLUSIONS OF LAW/RAMBLE WOOD Page 8
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."
31. 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. The
Commission and Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider
the Bicycle Pedestrian Design Manual for Ada County (as
prepared by Ada County Highway District) when reviewing
bicycle and pedestrian pathway provisions within developments.
32. That proper notice was given as required by law and all
procedures before the Planning and Zoning Commission were given and
followed.
CONCLUSIONS

Planning Act and of the Ordinances of the City of Meridian have
been met, including the mailing of notice to owners of property

RE: Ramble Wood Subdivision
Dear Councilmen:
I have reviewed the application for Ramble Wood Subdivision and
find that it includes approximately 13 homes at the median value
of $100,000. 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 5 elementary aged children, 4 middle school
aged children, and 4 senior high aged students. At the present
time Linder Elementary is at 137 of capacity, Meridian Middle
School is at 129 of capacity and Meridian High School is at 116
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. Before we could support this
subdivision, we would need land dedicated to the district or at
least made available at a minimum price for a school site in this
area. The site would need water and sewer service available. In
addition we would need to pass another bond issue for the
construction of schools.
The cost per student for newly constructed schools, excluding
site purchase price and offsite improvements, exceeds $5,000
per elementary student and $10,000 per middle or high school
student.
We are in a difficult position and need your help in dealing with
the impact of growth on schools.
Sincerely,
~~~ ~ ~ ~ ~~

The Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District has reviewed the
preliminary plat for Ramble Wood Subdivision. Nampa & Meridian
Irrigation District's Fivemile Drain courses parallel to the north
side of this property. The right-of-way of the Fivemile Drain is
100 feet: 50 feet from the center each way. If the developer
plans on encroaching within this easement, the District will need
to review the plans and the developer will need to enter into a
License Agreement.
The Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District will need to do a review
on all drainage from this site. All laterals and waste ways must
be protected. Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District recommends that
pressurized urban irrigation water be placed within the
subdivision.
This District requires that a Land Use Change/Site Development
application be filed for revie~,~~ prior to final platting. Contact
Donna Moore at 343-1884 or 466-7861 for further information.

Johnson: Are there any correction, additions or deletions to these minutes?
Alidjani: Mr. Chairman I make a motion that we approve these minutes held July 12, 1994.

ITEM #1: TABLED AT JULY 12, 1994 MEETING: RAMBLE WOOD SUBDIVISION
PRELIMINARY PLAT BY DAN HARDEE:
Johnson: This was tabled as I understand until some concerns of the staff were satisfied.
Is there a representative from Ramble Wood here. We have already had a public hearing
do you have anything to add.
(Inaudible)
Johnson: We would like a comment from staff then concerning the issues that were in
question and the reason that we tabled it last time. If we could have something for the
record please.
Smith: Mr. Chairman, Commission members, I guess the issue that I had was the location
of the sewer line as it leave the property near the northwest corner. In discussions with
the applicant the property owner to the west is not interested in having an all weather
access road over the sewer line through his property. He feels as though it will be a
connecting link between this subdivision and the Hartford Subdivision to the west which
it may well be. The applicant has proposed a need to either install a sewer line and an
easement without the access road or exit this subdivision at its northwest corner and get
Meridian Planning & Zoning
August 9, 1994
Page 2
onto the Five Mile Creek Right of Way and then go west with tto me elt is just a mattereof
any decision yet. One or the other would be acceptable
deciding assuming the property owner is agreeable to an easement across his property
without the access road.
Johnson: Any questions of Gary? Thanks Gary, any comments Shari Stiles?
Stiles: Chairman Johnson and Commissioners, `!~ k the haveeaddressed m st of the
conversation with the developer and his engineer. I thin y
comments I had. They will be requesting that deed restciation and that wil~be up t Vthe
the landscape easement in lieu of a homeowners asso ro riate. -They will continue to
Commission here and to the Council if they deem that app p
work with them to have some kind of a bike path proviend wohked that out( naud b e) the
or actual grading and construction of that. We hav
property to the north of this that will be coming in the ne the ocan w k togethe bon that to
larger parcel, probably about 300 acres and hopefully y
get that done. That is all I have.
Johnson: Any questions of Shari? I know one of the concerns was that the applicant did
not want to create a homeowners association and tdhe re and nmeis that cor9ect? d. That
he would address that by deed restriction as my un 9
(Inaudible)
Johnson: And that is something we have had probleC ss In?f Whatpaction would you
something for you to consider. Is there any further dis
like to take on this?
Shearer: I move we approve the preliminary plat.

Johnson: We have a motion for approval of the preliminary plat and a second, all those in
favor? Opposed?

ITEM #2: TABLED AT JUNE 14, 1994 MEETING: RAMBLE WOOD SUBDIVISION
PRELIMINARY PLAT BY DAN HARDEE:
Johnson: I understand this name has been changed to Bramble Wood. Is there a
representative that would like to address the Commission please come forward now.
Hutchinson: Mr. Chairman, members of the Commission I am Ted Hutchinson, I am with
Tealey's Land Surveying. We have reviewed the comment sheets that were sent out by
Mr. Smith and Ms. Stiles concerning the proposal. We tried to address each of those
comments we have responded with a letter and a revised preliminary plat to Mr. Smith and
Ms. Stiles. Again, with the sewer from Hartford if it is going to go on a lift station, I believe
that is the only way we would have access to sewer and that is our intention to extend and
connect into that system with the Hartford Subdivision. Are there any questions that I
might answer from the Commission?
Hepper: Have you talked to the property owner in between these 2 pieces of property?
Hutchinson: I believe Mr. Schaffer was here that night night, we will have to work it out
with him to make sure we can either cross there or go north around his property. I believe
the Bureau of Reclamation has a right of way in there along the north of Five Mile Creek.
We are willing to work with that property owner.
Johnson: Any other questions? All of you have this letter dated July 11 which was
received today in response to our May 26th letter. Does anyone else have any questions?
Thank you, any questions of staff?
Alidjani: I have a question for Shari, Shari, there are 12 items in this letter, any problem
with any of them. Have all your requests been answered?
~ ~
Meridian Planning & Zoning
July 12, 1994
Page 4
Stiles: Chairman and Commissioners, he has answered all of my questions, I still have a
question on the BOR's right of way since that property is never going to logically be
developed into anything. 1 want to see if they can work with that owner and go ahead and
get part of the bike path installed. Pretty much everything else has been addressed, i do
have a concern about the 20 planting strip easement. He had given me a revised plat but
it would show that one of the lots is only about 61 feet once you take out that strip. Also,
I would like to have a pedestrian access to the future pathway that he has indicated that
he would provide but isn't shown yet. Otherwise, everything else has been provided.
Johnson: Any other discussion? If not then I would entertain a motion.
Smith: Mr. Chairman, Commission members, I did want to make it part of the record that
any time a sewer line crosses unimproved properties such as Mr. Schaffer's property or
the Bureau of Reclamation's property that we do need to have a gravel access road over
that sewer line for future maintenance. And any easements that are written need to
include that provision that the access is constructed as part of the sewer line installation.
Also, I think on the preliminary plat that they still need to work on the chord dimension of
40 foot minimum of the lots that have a turn around in front of them. And so that dimension
will need to be worked out to make sure it complies with the Ordinance.
Alidjani: How about the lot that is going to be turned into a 61 foot width after they take
that 20 foot away.
Smith: I don't have any comment on that.
Alidjani: Well, technically, would we have a problem with that later on?
Smith: It is as Shari mentioned, what we have been trying to get is a 20 foot landscape
lot common area that is separate from the lot that the dwelling sits on, but I guess that is
a decision that Planning and Zoning and Council will have to make on this. Shari's
concern is that once that 20 foot landscape strip is landscaped and completed the actual
usable area of the lot is decreased by that width 20 feet. That one lot on the east side is
quite deep but it is going to be narrow. I am just assuming, I didn't calculate to see how
much actual usable square footage there is, but I am assuming that it meets the Ordinance
requirement.
Hepper: But the frontage would not meet the frontage requirement, is that correct?
Smith: Well, it would as far as I review the ordinance, it meets the ordinance requirement.
I am not positive of this but I think the only time we run into an unusable easement is when
it is on an irrigation ditch or a ditch of some kind where it is actually not usable at all.

Meridian Planning & Zoning

Where is it an open waterway for example.
Hepper: What would the building setbacks on the side yard be for something like that,
would they be 5 feet on the side from the easement line?
Smith: No, you would have a side street setback on both of these lots which would be 20
feet from the street right of way from Ustick Road, that is as close as you can get the
structure to the street technically from the ordinance.
Hepper: Well, we have a 20 foot easement, so technically they can build that house on
the easement line, right on the fence line.
Smith: Well, if there was a fence at that point that is true. Generally speaking, these
berms are being landscaped and fences are being place on top of the berm. So, the down
slope of the berm onto the lawn is actually used by the lot owner.
Johnson: Any further questions? Any other discussion? If not then we need a motion.
Rountree: Mr. Chairman, I move we table this item until the next regularly scheduled
meeting for the completion and resolution of the staffs concems.
Shearer: Second
Johnson: It has been moved and seconded that we table this item again until staff
concerns are completely satisfied, all those in favor? Opposed?
MOTION CARRIED: All Yea
Shearer: It sounds like we should have that preliminary plat drawn up as it is going to be,
that is the problem with these things we make so many changes to them and suddenly why
we are approving something that half a dozen changes to it and we don't have a copy of
it.
ITEM #3: TABLED AT JUNE 23, 1994 MEETING: THUNDER CREEK SUBDIVISION
PRELIMINARY PLAT BY FARWEST DEVELOPERS:
Johnson: Is there a representative for the developer here?
Shrewsberry: We would request that the Commission table this for one more meeting until

Johnson: Now we need to address those preliminary plats.
Rountree: As a group?
Johnson: If you wish.
Rountree: I have a question for Gary Smith and Shari Stiles before we do. Have your
concerns with Hartford, Chamberlain Estates, Fawcett's Meadows and Ramble Wood
preliminary plats been addressed by the Developers to your satisfaction?
Smith: The Hartford is the subdivision at the (inaudible) corner of Ten Mile and Ustick.
I think the only thing that still is a question in my mind is how exactly is that going to be
severed. I talked to the property owner to the west side of Ten Mile Road north of Ustick
came into my office a week or so ago and was interested in the severing of that property
also. And I haven't had as chance to talk to Mr. Merkle at Hubble Engineering but I did
want to pursue the possibility of constructing a sewer along the south side of Five Mile
Creek from where the interceptor crosses the Nine Mile interceptor crosses Five Mile
Creek. To see if we can get sewer back up that way to serve this property. I think this
gentleman to the west was agreeable to having a sewer line constructed along there.
Particularly of course it could serve part of his property. But, if everything else doesn't
work then the lift station is the last alternative. If we have to go to a lift station I want to be
sure it is placed somewhere along there is that is going to serve all the property so we
don't have 2 lift stations. But 1 guess that is the only gray area that I have with Hartford.
I think the other 2 Chamberlain and Fawcett's Meadows No. 2 all those items are easily

addressed.
Rountree: And Ramble Wood?
Smith: Same thing, that vwuld sewer ftom Hartford. And they would need to cross, 1 think
the name of the gentleman that lives there is Mr. Schaffer, they would need to cross his
property with a sewer line. I think all of those properties along there have to be looked at
as a unit for sewer service. Hopeful they can all sewer to the west to a point. That is
about all I remember.
Johnson: Do you have anything to add Shari Stiles?
Stiles: Mr. Chairman, Commissioners, the only thing really that is in common for all of
these is that they would require a development agreement that would address all of our
concerns and those of the agencies including the bike paths and landscaping, license
agreement with Nampa Meridian In-igation District and similar things that are called out in
the findings.
Johnson: How are we doing with development agreements, do we have some in force
now?
Stiles: No we do not.
Johnson: We still don't have any in force, do we have some pending?
Stiles: Yes, several.
Johnson: I thought we did but I had never seen a final one yet. Anyone else have any
concerns on any of the 4 preliminary plats we are addressing here. In that case I will
entertain a motion.
Rountree: Mr. Chairman, I move that we table and recommendation on Hartford and
Ramble Wood subdivision until the situation with the severing of those properties is
resolved and scheduling that to our next regularly scheduled meeting July 12, 1994.

Johnson: Any discussion on the motion?

preliminary plat within the condition of the development agreement plus the concern that
Meridian Planning & Zoning
June 14, 1994
Page 16
Gary has either for a sewer tine or the lift station. Because if we table it now what kind of
answer are we going to have later?
Rountree: Well we pass onto the City Council something certain as opposed to something
in the air that at this point they don't know if they are talking about one or more lift stations
or being able to sewer across some other properties, apparently there are some options
there.
Alidjani: I understand that, but my concerns are is there enough time between now and
until they go in front of City Council that they can take care of those.
Rountree: They probably could have taken care of it before. It was a problem at the last
meeting.
Johnson: Is there any other discussion? Is that the end of the comments from staff and
the Commission.
Smith: Mr. Chairman, Commission members,( End of Tape) as far as passing on a specific
recommendation to City Council and I appreciate what Commissioner Alidjani is saying,
it hasn't been resolved how that would be severed or where the lift station might be
placed, but I don't think there is a problem with severing it so it would just be a matter of
one or the other. Of course it is the Commissioners decision as to how you want to pass
this along to the City Council. tam certainly not promoting speeding up any of these
developments because we have a lot of them to do, but in the same breath I don't know,
I think a decision can be reached in a short period of time with the developer and engineer
as to how these projects can be severed.
Rountree: Given the options you have available to sewer the properties do those options
change the platting in terms of where a lift station may be located and the publics
opportunity to comment on that versus no lift station and having to sewer across another
property and the publics opportunity to comment on that?
Smith: On Ramble Wood it is not going to effect that one because it is going to sewer into
Hartford. The severing of Hartford it could affect, there could be a slight modification of
the lot arrangement there. The sewer line may exit the subdivision as presently shown,
it may go to the northwest corner and exit (inaudible) it would possibly get into an
easement adjacent to the subdivision boundary. I don't remember the exact layout of the
land out there but I think the northwest comer of that project is the lowest area and so the
sewer would probably come down the street, the most northern east-west street and exit
the subdivision through a common area lot similar to what happened on Park Wood
Meadows on Ten Mile road south of there. And get into a lift station at that point or cross
~ n
Meridian Planning & Zoning
June 14, 1994
Page 17
Ten Mile Road into the property adjacent thereto and continue onto the west. I don't think
there would be, I guess it is kind of a round about long answer, but I don't think there
would be a sign cant change in the lot arrangement on Hartford regardless of where the
lift station may be or the sewer line may exit the subdivision. It won't exit the subdivision
in a public right of way, but it virould have to exit through a common lot area.
Johnson: Gary, are you basically saying since our last tabling of this you haven't had any
specific discussion with the developer regarding the sewer?
Smith: I don't think so other than the property owner from across the street that came in.
Johnson: We are under advisement from the City Council and the Mayor you know that
if the time schedules aren't met the items addressed haven't been addressed by the time
of the meeting the 11th hour salvage thing is a thing of the past. If the "i's" aren't dotted
and the "t's" aren't crossed we are not going to proceed and that is basically the guidance
we are under at this point because we have plenty to do as you said. Leniency is not going
to be as prevalent as it was in the past.
Shearer. Mr. Chairman, I missed something on this Ramble Wood, it seems .like at the last
meeting that the plat showed no road to the east to the property to the east of it and I think
there was something in ACRD that they said they wanted. a road to the east, wasn't there.
I have not seen anything where they changed it
Johnson: Are you aware of anything on that?
Stiles: Mr. Chairman, Commissioners, ACHD commented that if the City requires a access
to the east for sewer service purposes they would have no problem with that, but they
wouldn't require it.
Shearer. It was us that was requiring that then. We have been 2 or 3 weeks since these
were up before us last time and the things that were addressed at the last meeting
evidently haven't been addressed. I can't feel sorry for these guys going back through it,
they know there is a problem and you thing they would work it out with City staff and be
ready to go.
Johnson: Thanks Shari I appreciate it. There is a motion, is there any further discussion,
we have a second also. Hearing none we will vote on Charlie Rountree's motion, all those
in favor? Opposed?

ITEM #15: PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR ANNEXATION AND ZONING FOR E. L.
BEWS BY E. L. SEWS AND WAYNE FORREY:
Johnson: I will now open the public hearing, if there is an applicant or someone
representing the applicant that would like to come forward at this time please do so.
Wayne Forrey, 52 East Franklin Road, was sworn by the City Attorney.
Forrey: Mr. Chairman, members of the Commission I am here tonight representing Edward
and Shirley Bews the owners of the Bews property which is generally east of the Eagle
Road Interchange, which would be on the north side of the Interstate between the
Interstate and Franklin Road. I have a vicinity map I would like to hand out. The subject
property on the transparency is shown in green that is the property owned by Ed and
Shirley Bews. It is immediately east of the proposed St. Luke's Hospital site which is on
the east side of North Eagle Road. The brown that you see on that transparency is the
Department of Transportation Interstate right of way, Interstate 84. Several years ago Ed
Bews recorded a plan called Farmington Estates Subdivision and that is located on this
property, it has been recorded but never constructed. All of that green area show the 75
acre Bews ownership but the olive colored portion there is the Farmington Estates plat,
again never constructed. Ed believes and I do too now that we have had a chance to do
some master planning with St. Luke's Hospital that subdivision would not be compatible
with the proposed medial campus envisioned for that site. So, it is Mr. Bevels desire to
vacate that plat and work it out with any of the agencies that are involved. One thing that
v~rould not be vacated is the well lot. There is a developed municipal quality well on the
property and that well lot would remain so that there is a possibility of getting that to the
City.
Johnson: When did that go through the County?
Forrey: 1 am thinking 1976 -1978 somewhere in there. The request of Mr. Bews for Mixed
Planned Use Development complies with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan, but right now

MOTION CARRIED: All Yea
Johnson: Now we need to address those preliminary plats.
Rountree: As a group?
Johnson: If you wish.
Rountree: 1 have a question for Gary Smith and Shari Stiles before we do. Have your
concerns with Hartford, Chamberlain Estates, Fawcett's Meadows and Ramble Wood
preliminary plats been addressed by the Developers to your satisfaction?
Smith: The Hartford is the subdivision at the (inaudible) corner of Ten Mile and Ustick.
I think the only thing that still is a question in my mind is how exactly is that going to be
sewered. I talked to the property owner to the west side of Ten Mile Road north of Ustick
came into my office a week or so ago and was interested in the sewering of that property
also. And I haven't had as chance to talk to Mr. Merkle at Hubble Engineering but I did
want to pursue the possibility of constructing a sewer along the south side of Five Mile
Creek from where the interceptor crosses the Nine Mile interceptor crosses Five Mile
Creek. To see if we can get sewer back up that way to serve this property. I think this
gentleman to the west was agreeable to having a sewer line constructed along there.
Particularly of course it could serve part of his property. But, if everything else doesn't
work then the lift station is the last alternative. If we have to go to a lift station 1 want to be
sure it is placed somewhere along there is that is going to serve all the property so we
don't have 2 lift stations. But I guess that is the only gray area that I have with Hartford.
I think the other 2 Chamberlain and Fawcett's Meadows No. 2 all those items are easily
Meridian Planning & Zoning
June 14, 1994
Page 15
addressed.
Rountree: And Ramble Wood?
Smith: Same thing, that would sewer from Hartford. And they would need to cross, I think
the name of the gentleman that .lives there is Mr. Schaffer, they ~nrould need to cross his
property with a sewer line. I think all of those properties along there have to be looked at
as a unit for sewer service. Hopeful they can all sewer to the west to a point. That is
about all I remember.
Johnson: Do you have anything to add Shari Stiles?
Stiles: Mr. Chairman, Commissioners, the only thing really that is in common for all of
these is that they would require a development agreement that vrrould address all of our
concerns and those of the agencies. including the bike paths and landscaping, license
agreement with Nampa Meridian Irrigation District and similar things that are called out in
the findings.
Johnson: How are we doing with development agreements, do we have. some in force
now?
Stiles: No we do not.
Johnson: We still don't have any in force, do we have -some pending?
Stiles: Yes, several.
Johnson: 1 thought we did but I had never seen a final one yet. Anyone else have any

/'1 n
reference is incorporated herein; that the property is
approximately 4.38 acres in size; it is approximately 1,600 east of

FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW/RAMBLE WOOD Page 2
/'~
7. That the property included in the annexation and zoning
application is within the Area of Impact of the City of Meridian.
8. That the entire parcel of ground requested to be annexed
is presently included within the Meridian Urban Service Planning
Area as the Urban Service Planning Area is defined in the Meridian
Comprehensive Plan.
9. That there was one person testifying at the hearing; that
John Shaffer, the owner of the property to the west, testified that
he was not against the development but he questioned what would
prevent foot traffic from coming onto his property; that if there
was a pathway along five Mile Creek he wants access to the pathway.
10. The Ada County Highway District, Central District Health
Department, the Nampa Meridian Irrigation District, City Engineer,
City Police Department, Idaho Power, Nampa & Meridian Irrigation
District, Meridian School District, Ada County Street Name
Committee and City Fire Department did submit comments and such are
incorporated herein as if set forth in full.
11. The City Engineer, Gary Smith, submitted comments and he
stated that restrictive covenants need to be submitted, that the
highest seasonal groundwater elevations need to be determined, that
a portion of the property was in a flood hazard area and he
questioned whether the should be a berm/landscaped lot along lots
1 and 13 to provide privacy and sound protection for those lot
owners.
12. That the Planning director submitted comments, some of
which were similar to those of the City Engineer, but also that a
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW/RAMBLE WOOD Page 3
~ ~
development agreement was required as a condition of annexation and
that a link to the proposed bike path on Five Mile Creek was
needed. She also commented that the sewer plant is to the
northwest of this site and the prevailing winds carry odors on
occasion to this property, that all adjacent agricultural uses must
be protected, that a 20 foot landscaped lots maintained by a
homeowners association should be provided along Ustick Road, and
that a development agreement was required as condition of
annexation.
13. The Meridian School District's comment on this annexation
request was that the subdivision proposed for the land would mean
20 elementary aged children, 17 middle school aged children and 20
senior high aged students; that Linder Elementary School is at 137
of capacity, Meridian Middle School at 129 of capacity and the
Meridian High School at 116 of capacity; the District went on to
state as follows:
"There is little opportunity to shift attendance boundaries
since the surrounding schools are also well over capacity.
Before we could support this subdivision, we would need land
dedicated to the district or at least made available at a
minimum price for a school site in this area. The site would
need water and sewer service available. In addition we would
need to pass another bond issue for the construction of
schools."
14. That the property is shown on the Meridian Comprehensive
Plan as being in a Single Family Residential area.
15. That in the Rural Area section of the Comprehensive Plan,
Land Use, Rural Areas, Section 6.3, it does state that land in
agricultural activity should so remain in agricultural activity
until urban services can be provided.
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW/RAMBLE WOOD Page 4
/'~ n
16. That Meridian has, and is, experiencing a population
increase; that there are pressures on land previously used for
agricultural uses to be developed .into residential subdivision
lots.
17. That the property can be physically serviced with City
water and sewer, but the sewer may be a problem because a lift
station may be required and it is the policy of the City to avoid
lift stations if at all possible; another means of sewer service
may have to be investigated.
18. 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-4j 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.
19. 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."
20. 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
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW/RAMBLE WOOD Page 5
~ n
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 .
.'
21. That the Meridian Comprehensive Plan, under Land Use,
Rural Areas, 6.4, it states as follows:
"Residential development is allowed in the rural area provided
that said development does not exceed the Rural Residential
Agricultural density, unless it is inside the Urban Service
Planning Area and City sewer and water is provided, then Low,
Medium and High density residential may be considered. All
residential development must also comply with the other
appropriate sections of this plan."
22. That the Meridian Comprehensive Plan, under Housing,
Housing Policies, at page 66, it states as follows:
"1.1 The City of Meridian intends to provide for a wide
diversity of housing types (single-family, modular, mobile
homes, multi-family, townhouses arrangements), ."
"1.3 An open housing market for all persons, regardless of
race, sex, age, religion or ethnic background."
"1.4 The development of housing for all income groups close
to employment and shopping centers should be encouraged."
23. 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.
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
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW/RAMBLE WOOD Page 6
~ r'~
the city and designated in an approved development agreement; that
such comment is equally applicable to this Application.
25. 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
able to provide fire, police, emergency health care, water, sewer,
parks and recreation services to its current residents and to those
moving into the City; the City is also concerned that the increase
in population is burdening the schools of the Meridian School
District which provide school service to current and future
residents of the City; that the City knows that the increase in
population does not sufficiently increase the tax base to offset
the cost of providing fire, police, emergency health care, water,
sewer, parks and recreation services; and the City knows that the
increase in population does not provide sufficient tax base to
provide for school services to current and future students.
26. That pursuant to the instruction, guidance, and direction
of the Idaho State Legislature, the City may impose either a
development fee or a transfer fee on residential property, which,
if possible, would be retroactive and apply to all residential lots
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW/RAMBLE WOOD Page 7
/'~
in the City because of the imperilment to the health, welfare, and
safety of the citizens of the City of Meridian.
27. That Section 11-9-605 C states as follows:
"Right-of-way for pedestrian walkways in the middle of long
blocks may be required where necessary to obtain convenient
pedestrian circulation to schools, parks or shopping areas;
the pedestrian easement shall be at least ten feet (10')
wide."
28. That Section 11-9-605 G 1. states as follows:
"Planting strips shall be required to be placed next to
incompatible features such as highways, railroads, commercial
or industrial uses to screen the view from residential
properties. Such screening shall be a minimum of twenty feet
(20') wide, and shall not be a part of the normal street right
of way or utility easement."
29. That Section 11-9-605 H 2. states as follows:
"Existing natural features which add value to residential
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;"
30. 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."
31. 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. The
Commission and Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider
the Bic cle-Pedestrian Desi n Manual for Ada Count (as
prepared by Ada County Highway District) when reviewing
bicycle and pedestrian pathway provisions within developments.
32. That proper notice was given as required by law and all
procedures before the Planning and Zoning Commission were given and
followed.
