C. Findings for Consideration
1. Phase 1 Improvements for The Oaks
The proposed preliminary plat for Oakmore subdivision includes 18 -single family building lots.
There are currently 333 -platted single-family lots within The Oaks and The Oaks West Subdivisions
that will generate 3,170 vehicle trips per day. The 170 vehicle trips per day that are generated from
the 18 -single family building lots in Oakmore Subdivision counts towards the 5,157 total vehicle
trips per day (3,340 VTD total for The Oaks and Oaks West Subdivision) allowed before traffic
mitigation is to be constructed for Traffic Phase 1 mitigation pictured below.

2. Black Cat Road
a. Existing Conditions: Black Cat Road is improved with 3 -travel lanes, and no curb, gutter or
sidewalk abutting the site. There is 74 -feet of right-of-way for Black Cat Road (30 -feet from
centerline).
4 Oakmore Subdivision
b. Policy:
Arterial Roadway Policy: District Policy 7205.2.1 states that the developer is responsible for
improving all street frontages adjacent to the site regardless of whether or not access is taken
to all of the adjacent streets.
Master Street Map and Typology Policy: District Policy 7205.5 states that the design of
improvements for arterials shall be in accordance with District standards, including the Master
Street Map and Livable Streets Design Guide. The developer or engineer should contact the
District before starting any design.
Street Section and Right -of -Way Width Policy: District Policies 7205.2.1 & 7205.5.2 state
that the standard 5 -lane street section shall be 72 -feet (back -of -curb to back -of -curb) within 96 -
feet of right-of-way. This width typically accommodates two travel lanes in each direction, a
continuous center left -turn lane, and bike lanes on a minor arterial and a safety shoulder on a
principal arterial.
Right -of -Way Dedication: District Policy 7205.2 states that The District will provide
compensation for additional right-of-way dedicated beyond the existing right-of-way along
arterials listed as impact fee eligible in the adopted Capital Improvements Plan using available
impact fee revenue in the Impact Fee Service Area.
No compensation will be provided for right-of-way on an arterial that is not listed as impact fee
eligible in the Capital Improvements Plan.
The District may acquire additional right-of-way beyond the site -related needs to preserve a
corridor for future capacity improvements, as provided in Section 7300.
Sidewalk Policy: District Policy 7205.5.7 requires a concrete sidewalk at least 5 -feet wide to
be constructed on both sides of all arterial streets. A parkway strip at least 6 -feet wide between
the back -of -curb and street edge of the sidewalk is required to provide increased safety and
protection of pedestrians. Consult the District's planter width policy if trees are to be placed
within the parkway strip. Sidewalks constructed next to the back -of -curb shall be a minimum of
7 -feet wide.
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.
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 Black Cat 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 proposed to dedicate right-of-way to total 48 -feet from the
centerline of Black Cat Road abutting the site. Additionally, they proposed to construct a 5 -foot
wide detached concrete sidewalk located outside of the right-of-way.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal is consistent with the MSM and
should be approved as proposed. The applicant will not be compensated for the right-of-way
that is dedicated in addition to the existing, as this segment of Black Cat is not listed in the CIP
for widening to 5 lanes.
The applicant should be required to provide a permanent right-of-way easement for the
detached sidewalk located outside the dedicated right-of-way.
5 Oakmore Subdivision
3. Internal Local Streets
a. Existing Conditions: There are no existing roads located on the site. As part of ACHD's
approval of The Oaks Subdivision located west of the site and the Jump Creek Subdivision
located south of the site two streets were stubbed to the parcel. Webster Drive stubs to the
site's west property line and Oakstone Drive stubs to the south property line. Webster Drive and
Oakstone drive are not yet constructed.
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
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.
6 Oakmore Subdivision
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.
c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct both stub streets into the site
and to construct Webster Drive and Oakstone Avenue as 33 -foot wide street section with rolled
curb and gutter, and 8 -foot planter strip within 50 -feet of right-of-way with a 5 -foot wide detached
sidewalk outside of the right-of-way. The applicant is proposing to construct a cul-de-sac
turnaround at the terminus of Webster Court.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant should be required to construct Webster
Drive and Oakstone Avenue as a 33 -foot street section (back -of -curb to back -of -curb), with curb,
gutter, and minimum 5 -foot wide concrete sidewalks on both sides constructed within 47 -feet of
right-of-way. Detached sidewalks outside of the right-of-way should be placed in a permanent
right-of-way easement.
The applicant's proposal to construct cul-de-sac at the terminus of Webster Court should be
approved as proposed. The turn around should be constructed with a minimum radius of 45 -
feet.
4. Stub Streets:
a. Existing Conditions: Although not constructed yet, there are two stub streets to the site,
Webster Drive to the west property line and Oakstone Avenue to the south property line.
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.
7 Oakmore Subdivision
Temporary Dead End Streets Policy: District policy 7207.2.4 (local) 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 proposed to extend the two existing stub streets into the
site and to construct one new stub street to the north, Oakstone Avenue. The stub street is
proposed to be located approximately 770 -feet west of Black Cat Road.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicants proposal meets District policy and
should be approved as proposed. The applicant should be required to install a sign at the
terminus of the stub street stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE."
A temporary turn around is not required at the terminus of the stub street as it does not extend
greater than 150 -feet in length.
5. 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.
6. 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
