Response to 2.2.1 regarding Building Permits vs COs: The letter of understanding referenced by the
applicant was only intended to address existing and previously identified and agreed upon lots -not for
new lots going in for preliminary plat. The applicant's response to the condition has taken the
information contained within the letter out of context and applied a negotiated solution to a specific
problem as a perpetual solution which was never the intent. Because the subject property has a
deficient sewer system and because additional conditions cannot be placed upon plats after the
preliminary plat status, and because the City wishes to duly notice all impacted and potentially affected
parties, Public Works recommends the condition remain on the plat until satisfied by the owner(s). Scott,
see Warren for additional details.
Tom
PS - I have attached the letter the applicant referenced for your information.

Good afternoon, Mr. Parsons,
Below please find responses to specific Conditions of Approval for the hearing on Thursday, August 19tH:
1.1.1 The preliminary plat labeled Sheets 1-3, prepared by Engineering Northwest, dated 07/10, is approved,
with the conditions listed herein:
• Lots 34, 35, 39 and 40, Block 16 shall meet the lot frontage standards in accord with UDC-11-2A-
3B; or, as an alternative, Lots 34 and 35, and Lots 39 and 40 shall be served by common
driveways, allowing for a reduction in lot frontage to 15 feet.
Applicant Response: Add the underlined language as noted above.
1.1.3 Provide the stub streets (see section 6F above) as proposed on the plat with the exception of the northwest
stub street to the Carnahan property (parcel #50422315000). A new stub shall be proposed for Block 24 to
provide westerly connection to said property, unless the variance is granted by Council.
Applicant Response: No alternative action is proposed pending a decision by the Meridian City
Council.
1.1.6 Provide a community center amenity that includes the following: club house, swimming pools, outdoor
play areas, kitchen, and exercise facilities. All of these amenities shall be constructed and ready for
occupancy prior to issuance of the 201St building permit for this development. Maintain all existing
amenities constructed with Phase 1 of the Jayker Subdivision.
Applicant Response: Residents of SpurWing Greens will be provided with social memberships to the
Spurwing Country Club with access to all services and facilities, except golf, but including swimming
and other amenities. Thus, with the addition of the tennis court complex currently under construction,
SpurWing Greens residents will have access amenities proposed by the community center from the day
they move into the project. A community center will be constructed at the site within the project as
initially proposed but at a size, approximately 1,800 square feet, and character scaled to a community
half the size of the original proposal, and with the above-noted facilities having already been provided
Further, it is requested that the community center be constructed prior to issuance of the 351st building

permit rather than the 201st as recommended.

2.2.1 This proposed developments sanitary sewer effluent is being planned to flow southwesterly into the
existing Jayker Subdivision's sanitary sewer system. There are currently deficiencies in the sanitary
sewer system within the Jayker Subdivision that are being addressed. No building permits will be issued
until such time as the deficiencies are corrected to the satisfaction of the Meridian Public Works
Department.
Applicant Response: Based on the attached Letter of Understanding and Agreement issued by
Meridian City Public Works Director, dated July 30, 2010 it is our understanding that building permits
will continue to be issued; however, no occupancy permits will be issued until the downstream
deficiencies are corrected.

I also spoke with Mindy Wallace of ACHD about the traffic study up-date. She told City staff not to hold up
the application given the minor changes even though the matter will be on a Commission agenda
which has not yet been scheduled. She said they will work through the items prior to City Council.
