You need to change the address with the Ada County Assessor's office, that's where we get our info...) can ask the
Clerk's office to change it for this project though. Thx!

The required street buffer width is 20'...they can only count what's on their property toward their open space
requirements.
The public hearing notice was sent to Mission Coast Properties ID, Inc., 1409 W. Main St, Ste 110, Boise, ID 83702, per
the owner info from the Ada County Assessor's office.
Single-family residential is not subject to design review standards. However, with Reflection Ridge, Staff was concerned
that the elevations approved with the DA may not fit on the lots.

If that is the case, they will be using OUR green space in the green space calculation on the lots west of their
entry. Doesn't seem right to me..
I was not notified of this hearing and I would have liked to appear but am out of town today.
Reflection Ridge must adhere to strict guidelines, however, the development immediately adjacent only has to
abide by basic guidelines. Why is there no transition area between the two?

Where there is a detached sidewalk, it's from back of curb; where there is an attached sidewalk, it's from back of

Hi Sonya,
Is the 20 foot wide street buffer from their property line?
Is the home setback from the rear property line included in the 20 feet or excluded?

Hi Sonya,

I believe the Eastwood Subdivision is coming up for consideration at the City of Meridian. Yes, it's scheduled before the
Commission tonight-the meeting starts at 6 pm
I have recently seen the site layout and noted that there is very little green space setback off Wrightwood past the entry
into the Eastwood Subdivision. I also noted that the developer could provide more green space along Wrightwood by
narrowing some of the lots within the subdivision.
Will the City be requiring more green space setback along Wrightwood and will the new homes facing Wrightwood have
design guidelines that require all homes to have enhanced design features on the back of the homes? A 20-foot wide
street buffer is required adjacent to Wrightwood (condition #1.1.5a); no specific design guidelines are required for
homes that back up to Wrightwood.
We are trying to ensure that all homes in the immediate area of Reflection Ridge have enhanced green space and design
features.

Sonya,
Thanks for the update on Eastwood Subdivision.
I hope that when it does come up for approval, the City of Meridian will take into consideration the quality of
landscaping and housing that exists in the adjacent developments of Eastwood and Reflection Ridge.
Thanks

Lorne,
Thank you for your comments. There is not a current application on the Eastwood property; the preliminary plat has
expired. When a new development application is submitted, it will need to comply with current UDC open space
requirements. If Wrightwood is classified as a collector street, a minimum 20-foot wide landscaped street buffer will be
required.
Thanks,
Sonya

Subject: Reflection Ridge/Eastwood Subdivision
Hi Sonya,
I am not sure if you are responsible for the Eastwood Subdivision or not but I wanted to let you know our concerns
about this development since it is immediately south of Reflection Ridge.
Reflection Ridge has now been approved and as you know we are committed to investing heavily in this subdivision to
insure it is high quality with lots of green space and enhanced design guidelines for the homes. This is consistent with
the existing homes in the East Slope subdivision to the south.
We have reviewed the Eastwood site plan and are concerned about the lack of landscaping along our common property
line on Wrightwood Drive. As one enters Wrightwood off Locust Grove, the landscaping on the Reflection Ridge side is
extensive, however, there is very little on the Eastwood Subdivision side except fora 50 foot green space for the first
120 feet. We believe there should be considerable green space along the entire frontage of Wrightwood. Reflection
Ridge has a green space ratio of 17%, East Slope subdivision has plenty of green space, however, Eastwood has only
10% green space with very little on Wrightwood.
We are also concerned that the quality of housing will not be consistent with East Slope Subdivision or Reflection Ridge.
Is it possible to ensure that the design guidelines will include required enhancements to the rear of the homes fronting
on Wrightwood Drive?
Please let me know if you are responsible for Eastwood subdivision so we can work with the planning department to
ensure the success of our communities.
Thanks
Lorne Duthie
