RE: Bellabrook Villas Subdivision (ALT-13-014)
Dear Mr. Howard:
Mayor Tammy de Weerd
City Council Members:
Keith Bird
Brad Hoaglun
Charles Rountree
David Zaremba
In regard to your request for alternative compliance to Unified Development Code (UDC) 11-3F-
SD as detailed in the application you submitted, the Director approved your request based on the
required findings listed in UDC 11-SB-SE as follows:
1. Strict adherence or application of the requirements are not feasible; or
Staff finds it is not feasible to require strict adherence to the UDC in this case as the
requirement for a gate at the entries of the private streets would create an
unnecessary separation and barrier between 1 S of the 26 homes in this development.
2. The alternative compliance provides an equal or superior means for meeting the
requirements; and
Staff finds the proposed monuments placed at each corner of the intersecting
public/private streets will distinguish the private from the public streets without
creating a barrier within the subdivision. Therefore, Staff finds the proposed
alternative provides an equal means of complying with the intent of the UDC in this
instance.
3. The alternative means will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or
impair the intended uses and character of surrounding properties.
Staff finds the alternative means of complying with the intent of the ordinance will not
be detrimental to the public welfare nor will it impair the residential use of the
property or the character of surrounding properties.
The applicant, Director, or a party of record may request City Council review of a decision of the
Director. All requests for review shall be filed in writing with the Planning Division of the
Community Development Department -Planning Division • 33 E. Broadway Avenue, Meridian, ID 83642
Phone 208-884-5533 Fax 208-888-6854 www.meridiancity.org
Community Development Department on or before September 6, 2013, within fifteen (15) days
after the written decision is issued, and contain the information listed in UDC 11-SA-6B.
If City Council review of the decision is not requested, the action of the Director represents a
final decision on a land use application. You have the right to request a regulatory taking
analysis under Idaho Code 67-8003.

RE: Bellabrook Villas Subdivision (aka Brookside Square)
Dear Staff,
Please accept this Alternate Compliance application for Bellabrook Villas (aka Brookside
Square), which is located at 300 S. Locust Grove Road, approximately 900 feet south of Franklin
Road in Meridian, Idaho, Section 17, Township 3 North, Range 1 East of the Boise-Meridian.
The site is 4.38 acres in size and is currently zoned R-15.
We are requesting acceptance of an alternative to the gate requirement found in UDC 11.3F.5
which requires gates to be installed 50 feet back of the intersections of the private and public
streets in this development. Strict adherence to these requirements would create an unnecessary
separation between the neighbors of this small development. By substituting the proposed
monuments at each corner of the intersections of the private and public roads within the
development, the desired distinction between the private and public road is achieved without
creating a physical barrier between the homes of the subdivision.
Sincerely,
Matt Howard
Representing ZWJ Development, LLC
