REVIEWER: Lieutenant Scott Colaianni
SUBJECT: H-2018-0121
PROJECT NAME: VillaSport Complex
POLICE DEPARTMENT SUMMARY OF REPORT:
1. Police Response Time- The proposed development VillaSport Complex application is approximately
3.5 miles from the Meridian Police Department. The expected response time to this area in an emergency
is about 4 minutes.
Between 11/1/2017 — 10/31/2018 the Meridian Police Department responded to 946 calls for service
within a mile of the proposed development. Most of these calls were related to narcotics violations.
During this same time period the Meridian Police Department responded to 100 crashes within a mile of
the proposed development. Most of these crashes 47% were non -injury. The other 43% were injury
related and one fatal accident recently. See attached document for additional details on calls.
2. Accessibility — Access for the Meridian Police Department is not an issue for the proposed
development in this area. The roadways are more than adequate, there are sidewalks and a full signal
access near the proposed development.
3. Resource needs — There are no additional staffing, equipment needs or other resources needed to serve
the proposed development.
4. Other comments- The Meridian Police Department already serves this growing area. It should be
noted that this area has a high accident rate due to the large volume of traffic at Eagle/Ustick and the
surrounding retail, office, multi -family and other commercial uses. As part of the modification of initial
MDA the Meridian Police Department would ask that no additional access be allowed onto Eagle Road.
If an additional access is granted on Ustick Road the Meridian Police Department asks that it be a right
in -right out only. The Meridian Police Department would also ask that all traffic impact
recommendations from ITD and ACHD be adhered to and that those required improvements be made
before the issuance of the CO.
In addition, the proposed area has a moderate amount of calls for service already. Although the proposed
development isn't expected to generate a lot more calls for service for the Meridian Police Department it
will increase the traffic in the area.
