Council waives dead‑end length and approves Addison Circle seven‑lot subdivision
Summary
Meridian council approved annexation and R8 zoning for Addison Circle (H2024‑0040), a 1.87‑acre, seven‑lot subdivision, and waived the UDC 500‑foot dead‑end street limit to allow a 545‑foot cul‑de‑sac; staff said the site meets comp‑plan density and single‑story homes were proposed.
The Meridian City Council on Dec. 10 approved Addison Circle (file H2024‑0040), allowing annexation, R8 zoning and a preliminary plat to divide a 1.87‑acre property at 4535 North Black Cat Road into seven single‑family lots. The council also granted a waiver to allow a 545‑foot dead‑end street, exceeding the 500‑foot length limit in the city’s UDC, after staff told the council the design provided acceptable emergency access and there were no viable alternatives.
Staff summary and technical conditions
City staff described the project as consistent with the medium‑density residential designation (3–8 dwelling units per acre) and said the proposed gross density would be 3.74 units per acre. Staff recommended a development agreement that would require a detached asphalt pathway connection to fill a roughly 15‑foot gap to the north and included standard landscaping and tree‑mitigation provisions. Staff noted conceptual elevations and suggested articulation on units visible from Black Cat Road.
Applicant presentation and neighborhood outreach
David Crawford of Centurion Engineers, representing the applicant, said the proposal ‘‘is consistent with the comprehensive plan’’ and that the houses proposed would be single‑story to support aging‑in‑place goals. Crawford told the council the neighborhood outreach produced little opposition and the applicant agreed to staff conditions.
Council action
After closing the public hearing, Councilman Taylor moved to approve the application and waive the 500‑foot dead‑end street limit to permit the 545‑foot cul‑de‑sac. The motion passed unanimously on roll call (Little Roberts Aye, Taylor Aye, Overton Aye, Streeter Aye). The approval authorizes the applicant to proceed with conditions noted in the staff report and to finalize the development agreement and platting documents.
Next steps
The applicant must complete the development agreement provisions, construct required off‑site pathway connections and meet tree‑mitigation and street‑buffer standards in the UDC as the project moves toward final platting.
