Commission recommends approval of Filbert Cabana preliminary/final plat with right‑of‑way conditions
Summary
The commission recommended approval of SUB24-12 (Filbert Cabana), a combined preliminary and final plat that dedicates new public right‑of‑way (Mohican) and phases a 162‑unit multifamily project; a condition was clarified to require a vacation before building permits on Lot 1.
Boise — The commission recommended approval of SUB24-12 (Filbert Cabana Subdivision) at 1770 South Maple Grove Road, a combined preliminary and final plat that will dedicate new right‑of‑way (Mohican) and allow phased construction of a previously approved multifamily development.
Project history and staff summary Planning staff summarized the earlier approvals: last year the site received a comprehensive plan amendment, rezone, and a conditional use permit allowing density above the base Airport Influence overlay maximum; Council also approved a design review for 162 units. The subdivision before the commission dedicates Mohican right-of-way to the Ada County Highway District (ACHD) and includes a requirement that a portion of Vincent Street right-of-way located within Lot 1 be vacated before issuance of building permits for Lot 1. Staff recommended approval and clarified that construction on the western phase may proceed before the vacation is finalized, because that parcel already has frontage and utility access.
Applicant presentation Stephanie Hopkins of O'Kam Engineering represented Hawkins (the developer). Hopkins said the overall project is about 6.12 acres, with a design review-approved proposal for 162 multifamily units in eight buildings; the initial phase (east or west depending on final plat lines) would include about 124 units with the remaining phase including about 38 units. The design included a clubhouse, pool, more than 250 vehicle stalls and roughly 300 bicycle stalls and an east–west pedestrian connection. Hopkins confirmed coordination with ACHD for the right-of-way exchange and that a public pathway easement will be recorded before building permits are issued.
Public comment and outcome Staff noted one written opposition focused on traffic and connections; ACHD reviewed the proposed roadway extension and did not raise concerns in its review. The commission voted to recommend approval to City Council, with the modified condition that the portion of Vincent Street right-of-way located within Lot 1 be vacated before submittal of building permits for Lot 1 (permits for the western portion of phase 1 may be submitted prior to the vacation).
