V. STAFF ANALYSIS
The proposed final plat depicts 47 building lots and 6 common lots on 27.66 acres of land in the R-4
zoning district.
Staff has reviewed the proposed final plat for substantial compliance with the approved preliminary
plat (PP -13-033). The final plat depicts 1 additional building lot in Block 2 and I additional building
lot in Block 3 than was approved with the preliminary plat; as long as the overall number of building
lots in the subdivision does not exceed those approved with the preliminary plat, the final plats will be
deemed in substantial compliance with the approved preliminary plat as required by UDC 11 -6B -
3C.2. Therefore, a subsequent phase(s) should contain 2 fewer building lots since 2 additional lots
were shown in this phase. The amount of open space shown on the proposed final plat in Lot 1, Block
5 appears to be greater than shown on the approved preliminary plat but only includes a portion of the
lot with this phase; the remainder of this lot will will be included in a subsequent phase and the
overall area should be a minimum of that approved with the preliminary plat.
The City of Meridian currently owns and operates a sanitary sewer lift station on what will be Lot 1,
Block 2 of this subdivision. This lift station will be decommissioned when sanitary sewer is brought
through this development from the north. The existing parcel where the lift station is located is being
exchanged for additional area next to the City's well site in what will be phase 2; the exchange of
land is scheduled before City Council on July 1, 2014. The applicant and the city will need to enter
into a lease back agreement for the continuance of operation and maintenance of the lift station until
such time as the development improvements are accepted by the city.
To accomplish the exchange of property, a property boundary adjustment (PBA -14-006) application
is currently in the approval process to remove the lift station lot and enlarge the City's existing well
lot.
