A permanent right-of-way easement shall be provided if public sidewalks are placed outside of
the dedicated right-of-way. The easement shall encompass the entire area between the right-
of-way line and 2 -feet behind the back edge of the sidewalk. Sidewalks shall either be located
wholly within the public right-of-way or wholly within an easement.
ACHD Master Street Map: ACHD Policy Section 3111.1 requires the Master Street Map
(MSM) guide the right-of-way acquisition, arterial street requirements, and specific roadway
features required through development. This segment of Amity Road is designated in the MSM
as a Residential Arterial with 5 -lanes and on -street bike lanes, a 72 -foot street section within
96 -feet of right-of-way.
c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant has proposed to dedicate additional right-of-way to total
48 -feet from the centerline of Amity Road abutting the site. The applicant has proposed to
construct a 5 -foot wide detached concrete sidewalk on Amity Road abutting the site.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal to dedicated additional right-
of-way to total 48 -feet from centerline and to construct a 5 -foot wide detached sidewalk meets
District policy and should be approved, as proposed. The applicant will be compensated for the
additional right-of-way dedication. The sidewalks should be located a minimum of 41 -feet from
the centerline of Amity Road abutting the site. If detached sidewalks are located outside of the
dedicated right-of-way, then a permanent right-of-way easement should be provided.
The applicant should be required to widen the pavement on Amity Road to 17 -feet from
centerline with a 3 -foot gravel shoulder abutting the site.
Consistent with the findings and recommendations of the traffic analysis, the applicant should
be required to construct a center left turn lane on Amity Road at Fonthill Way.
2. Internal Local Streets
a. Existing Conditions: There are no internal local streets within the site. There is one stub street
to the site's east property line, Scrubpine Street.
b. Policy:
Local Roadway Policy: District Policy 7207.2.1 states that the developer is responsible for
improving all local street frontages adjacent to the site regardless of whether or not access is
taken to all of the adjacent streets.
Street Section and Right -of -Way Policy: District Policy 7207.5 states that right-of-way widths
for all local streets shall generally not be less than 47 -feet wide and that the standard street
section shall be 33 -feet (back -of -curb to back -of -curb).
Standard Urban Local Street -33 -foot Street Section and Right-of-way Policy: District
Policy 7207.5.2 states that the standard street section shall be 33 -feet (back -of -curb to back -of -
curb) for developments with any buildable lot that is less than 1 acre in size. This street section
shall include curb, gutter, and minimum 5 -foot wide concrete sidewalks on both sides and shall
typically be constructed within 47 -feet of right-of-way.
For the City of Kuna and City of Star: Unless otherwise approved by Kuna or Star, the standard
street section shall be 36 -feet (back -of -curb to back -of -curb) for developments with any
buildable lot that is less than 1 acre in size. This street section shall include curb, gutter, and
4 Warrick Subdivision
minimum 5 -foot wide concrete sidewalks on both sides and shall typically be constructed within
50 -feet of right-of-way.
Continuation of Streets Policy: District Policy 7207.2.4 states that an existing street, or a
street in an approved preliminary plat, which ends at a boundary of a proposed development
shall be extended in that development. The extension shall include provisions for continuation
of storm drainage facilities. Benefits of connectivity include but are not limited to the following:
• Reduces vehicle miles traveled.
• Increases pedestrian and bicycle connectivity.
• Increases access for emergency services.
• Reduces need for additional access points to the arterial street system
• Promotes the efficient delivery of services including trash, mail and deliveries.
• Promotes appropriate intra -neighborhood traffic circulation to schools, parks,
neighborhood commercial centers, transit stops, etc.
• Promotes orderly development.
Sidewalk Policy: District Policy 7207.5.7 states that five-foot wide concrete sidewalk is
required on both sides of all local street, except those in rural developments with net densities
of one dwelling unit per 1.0 acre or less, or in hillside conditions where there is no direct lot
frontage, in which case a sidewalk shall be constructed along one side of the street. Some local
jurisdictions may require wider sidewalks.
The sidewalk may be placed next to the back -of -curb. Where feasible, a parkway strip at least
8 -feet wide between the back -of -curb and the street edge of the sidewalk is recommended to
provide increased safety and protection of pedestrians and to allow for the planting of trees in
accordance with the District's Tree Planting Policy. If no trees are to be planted in the parkway
strip, the applicant may submit a request to the District, with justification, to reduce the width of
the parkway strip.
Detached sidewalks are encouraged and should be parallel to the adjacent roadway.
Meandering sidewalks are discouraged.
A permanent right-of-way easement shall be provided if public sidewalks are placed outside of
the dedicated right-of-way. The easement shall encompass the entire area between the right-
of-way line and 2 -feet behind the back edge of the sidewalk. Sidewalks shall either be located
wholly within the public right-of-way or wholly within an easement.
Cul-de-sac Streets Policy: District policy 7207.5.8 requires cul-de-sacs to be constructed to
provide a minimum turning radius of 45 -feet; in rural areas or for temporary cul-de-sacs the
emergency service providers may require a greater radius. Landscape and parking islands may
be constructed in turnarounds if a minimum 29 -foot street section is constructed around the
island. The pavement width shall be sufficient to allow the turning around of a standard
AASHTO SU design vehicle without backing. The developer shall provide written approval from
the appropriate fire department for this design element.
The District will consider alternatives to the standard cul-de-sac turnaround on a case-by-case
basis. This will be based on turning area, drainage, maintenance considerations and the written
approval of the agency providing emergency fire service for the area where the development is
located.
Local Street Intersection Spacing on Minor Arterials: District policy 7205.4.3 states that
new local streets should not typically intersect arterials. Local streets should typically intersect
collectors. If it is necessary, as determined by ACHD, for a local street to intersect an arterial,
the minimum allowable offset shall be 660 -feet as measured from all other existing roadways
as identified in Table 1 a (7205.4.6).
5 Warrick Subdivision
Landscape Medians Policy: District policy 7207.5.16 states that landscape medians are
permissible where adequate pavement width is provided on each side of the median to
accommodate the travel lanes and where the following is provided:
• The median is platted as right-of-way owned by ACHD.
• The width of an island near an intersection is 12 -feet maximum for a minimum distance of
150 -feet. Beyond the 150 -feet, the island may increase to a maximum width of 30 -feet.
• At an intersection that is signalized or is to be signalized in the future, the median width
shall be reduced to accommodate the necessary turn lane storage and tapers.
• The Developer or Homeowners Association shall apply for a license agreement if
landscaping is to be placed within these medians.
• The license agreement shall contain the District's requirements of the developer including,
but not limited to, a "hold harmless" clause; requirements for maintenance by the
developer; liability insurance requirements; and restrictions.
• Vertical curbs are required around the perimeter of any raised median. Gutters shall slope
away from the curb to prevent ponding.
c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant has proposed to construct the entry roadway, Fonthills
Way to intersect Amity Road approximately 290 -feet west of the east property line. The roadway
is proposed to align centerline to centerline with Fonthills Way on the north side of Amity Road
across from the site.
The applicant has proposed to construct Fonthills Way as a 53 -foot street section with a 10 -foot
wide center landscape island, two 20 -foot wide travel lanes, curb and gutter within 58 -feet of
right-of-way with a 8 -foot wide planter strip and a 5 -foot wide detached concrete sidewalk
located outside of the right-of-way.
The applicant has proposed to extend Scrubpine Street into the site as a 34 -foot street section
with rolled curb, gutter, and a 5 -foot attached concrete sidewalk within 46 -feet of right-of-way.
The applicant has proposed to construct all of the other internal local streets as 33 -foot street
sections with rolled curb and gutter within 38 -feet of right-of-way and an 8 -foot wide planter strip
and 5 -foot wide detached concrete sidewalks located outside of the right-of-way.
The applicant has proposed to construct 1 cul-de-sac turnaround at the terminus of Cameros
Way.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District policy with the
exception of the 34 -foot street section. The applicant should be required to extend Scrubpine
Street into the site as a 33 -foot street section with curb, gutter, and 5 -foot wide attached
concrete sidewalk within 47 -feet of right-of-way.
The applicant should be required to plat the center landscape island as right-of-way owned by
ACHD. The applicant or the future home owners association should enter into a license
agreement with ACHD for any landscaping within the island.
The applicant should be required to provide permanent right-of-way easements for the detached
sidewalks located outside of the dedicated right-of-way.
The applicant should be required to construct the cul-de-sac turnaround with a minimum turning
radius of 45 -feet.

3. Stub Streets
a. Existing Conditions: There is one stub street to the site's east property line, Scrubpine Street.
b. Policy:
Stub Street Policy: District policy 7207.2.4 states that stub streets will be required to provide
circulation or to provide access to adjoining properties. Stub streets will conform with the
requirements described in Section 7207.2.5.4 except a temporary cul-de-sac will not be required
if the stub street has a length no greater than 150 -feet. A sign shall be installed at the terminus
of the stub street stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE."
In addition, stub streets must meet the following conditions:
• A stub street shall be designed to slope towards the nearest street intersection within the
proposed development and drain surface water towards that intersection; unless an
alternative storm drain system is approved by the District.
• The District may require appropriate covenants guaranteeing that the stub street will
remain free of obstructions.
Temporary Dead End Streets Policy: District policy 7207.2.4 requires that the design and
construction for cul-de-sac streets shall apply to temporary dead end streets. The temporary
cul-de-sac shall be paved and shall be the dimensional requirements of a standard cul-de-sac.
The developer shall grant a temporary turnaround easement to the District for those portions of
the cul-de-sac which extend beyond the dedicated street right-of-way. In the instance where a
temporary easement extends onto a buildable lot, the entire lot shall be encumbered by the
easement and identified on the plat as a non -buildable lot until the street is extended.
c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant has proposed to extend Scrubpine Street into the site and
to construct one stub street to the south and one to the east.
The stub street to the south, Montague Way, located approximately 890 -feet east of the west
property line.
The stub street to the east, Zeller Street is located approximately 740 -feet south of Amity Road.
This stub street is proposed to stub to Ten Mile Creek.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District policy and
should be approved, as proposed. The applicant should be required to install a sign at the
terminus of each stub street stating that, "THIS STREET WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE
FUTURE".
Staff recommends that the Zeller Street stub street be relocated approximately 375 -feet south
of the proposed to location to between lots 11 and 12 of Block 7. Staff's recommends the stub
street be because in its current configuration the street is directed at the southwest corner of
the parcel located at 2935 Amity Road making it difficult to extend the stub street in the future.
Zeller Street is proposed to stub to Ten Mile Creek and the site's property line extend to the
middle of the creek. Because the site extends to the middle of the creek the applicant should
be required to design a bridge crossing of Ten Mile Creek and provide a road trust deposit for
half the cost of construction of the crossing.
4. Tree Planters
Tree Planter Policy: Tree Planter Policy: The District's Tree Planter Policy prohibits all trees in
planters less than 8 -feet in width without the installation of root barriers. Class II trees may be
allowed in planters with a minimum width of 8 -feet, and Class I and Class III trees may be allowed
in planters with a minimum width of 10 -feet.
7 Warrick Subdivision
5. Landscaping
Landscaping Policy: A license agreement is required for all landscaping proposed within ACHD
right-of-way or easement areas. Trees shall be located no closer than 10 -feet from all public storm
drain facilities. Landscaping should be designed to eliminate site obstructions in the vision triangle
at intersections. District Policy 5104.3.1 requires a 40 -foot vision triangle and a 3 -foot height
restriction on all landscaping located at an uncontrolled intersection and a 50 -foot offset from stop
signs. Landscape plans are required with the submittal of civil plans and must meet all District
requirements prior to signature of the final plat and/or approval of the civil plans.
