C. Findings for Consideration
1. Meridian Road
a. Existing Conditions: Meridian Road is improved with 3-travel lanes, vertical curb, gutter,
and 5-foot wide sidewalk abutting the site. There is 78-feet of right-of-way for Meridian Road
(47-feet from centerline).
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.
Frontage Improvements Policy: District Policy 7205.2.1 states that the developer shall
widen the pavement to a minimum of 17-feet from centerline plus a 3-foot wide gravel
shoulder adjacent to the entire site. Curb, gutter and additional pavement widening may be
required (See Section 7205.5.5).
Minor Improvements Policy: District Policy 7203.3 states that minor improvements to
existing streets adjacent to a proposed development may be required. These improvements
are to correct deficiencies or replace deteriorated facilities. Included are sidewalk construction
or replacement; curb and gutter construction or replacement; replacement of unused
4 Maddyn Village/ MPP16-0025/ H-2016-0075
driveways with curb, gutter and sidewalk; installation or reconstruction of pedestrian ramps;
pavement repairs; signs; traffic control devices; and other similar items.
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 Meridian Road is designated in the
MSM as a Residential Arterial with 5-lanes and on-street bike lanes, a 71-foot street section
within 97-feet of right-of-way.
c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is not proposing any improvements to Meridian Road
abutting the site.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: Meridian Road is scheduled in the District’s Integrated
Five Year Work Plan (IFYWP) to be improved to 5-lanes, curb, gutter, 7-foot wide sidewalk,
and on-street bike lanes abutting the site. Therefore, no additional right-of-way or street
improvements should be required as part of this application.
2. Internal Street
a. Existing Conditions: There are no existing streets internal to the site. Spring Water Street
is stubbed at the site’s south property line.
b. Policy:
Reduced Urban Local Street—29-foot Street Section and Right-of-Way Policy: District
Policy 7207.5.2 states that the width of a reduced urban local street shall be 29-feet (back-of-
curb to back-of-curb) with curb, gutter, and minimum 5-foot concrete sidewalks on both sides
and shall typically be within 42-feet of right-of-way. Although some parking is allowed by the
following subsections, the District will further restrict parking on a reduced width street if
curves or other physical features cause problems, if actual emergency response experience
indicates that emergency vehicles may not be able to provide service, or if other safety
concerns arise. One of the following three sets of design conditions shall apply.
Design Condition #1: Parking is allowed on one side of a reduced width street when all of the
following criteria are met:
• The street is in a residential area.
• The developer shall provide written approval from the appropriate fire department or
emergency response unit in the jurisdiction.
• The developer shall install ―NO PARKING‖ signs on one side of the street, as specified
by the District and as specified by the appropriate fire department.
• Vertical curbs with attached 5-foot (minimum) wide sidewalks, or rolled curbs with 5-foot
(minimum) wide detached sidewalks and 8-foot (minimum) wide planter strips, are
required.
• Traffic volumes on the street shall not exceed 1,000 vehicle trips per day. There shall be
no possibility that another street may be connected to it in a manner that would allow
more than 1,000 vehicle trips per day.
Design Condition #2: Parking is allowed on both sides of a reduced width street when the
street layout has the qualities of a road grid system. This provides fire trucks and other
emergency vehicles alternate routes of access since the ability to pass another vehicle may
be compromised by placement of parked vehicles on both sides of the street. The following
criteria shall be met:
• The street is in a residential area.
• The developer shall provide written approval from the appropriate fire department or
emergency response unit in the jurisdiction.
• The block length of the street shall not exceed 500-feet, measured between centerlines.
5 Maddyn Village/ MPP16-0025/ H-2016-0075
• Traffic volumes on the street are not forecast to exceed 400 vehicle trips per day.
• A minimum of two street connections shall be provided to each end of the street with the
reduced width. The two connecting streets shall each connect to the larger street system
to provide the intended alternate routes of access. A street system that has one street
connection to the larger street network on one end and a loop/circle street on the other
end with no outlet shall not be approved.
• Vertical curbs with attached 5-foot (minimum) wide sidewalks, or rolled curbs with 5-foot
(minimum) wide detached sidewalks and 8-foot (minimum) wide planter strips, are
required.
Design Condition #3: Parking is allowed on both sides of a reduced width residential street
with passing pockets that are created when two driveways are constructed near the same
property line, where a 50-foot segment will not have on–street parking on the side of the street
with the driveways. This provides fire trucks and other vehicles areas to move to the side of
the street to allow another vehicle to pass when vehicles are parked on the street. Parking is
allowed on both sides of a reduced width street when the following criteria are met:
• The street is in a residential area.
• The developer shall provide written approval from the appropriate fire department or
emergency response unit in the jurisdiction.
• Driveway locations are predetermined with curb cuts for the driveways to be installed
when the street is constructed. The curb cuts shall be 20-feet wide. Each lot on the
street will be ―paired‖ with an adjacent lot. If there are an odd number of lots, one lot at
either end of the street will not be ―paired.‖ Each pair of lots shall locate its driveway 5-
feet from the shared lot line of the pair.
• Vertical curbs with attached 5-foot (minimum) wide sidewalks, or rolled curbs with 5-foot
(minimum) wide detached sidewalks and 8-foot (minimum) wide planter strips, are
required.
• The lots cannot abut an alley.
• Traffic volumes on the street are not forecast to exceed 400 vehicle trips per day.
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.).
Minor Improvements Policy: District Policy 7203.3 states that minor improvements to
existing streets adjacent to a proposed development may be required. These improvements
are to correct deficiencies or replace deteriorated facilities. Included are sidewalk construction
6 Maddyn Village/ MPP16-0025/ H-2016-0075
or replacement; curb and gutter construction or replacement; replacement of unused
driveways with curb, gutter and sidewalk; installation or reconstruction of pedestrian ramps;
pavement repairs; signs; traffic control devices; and other similar items.
c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct Springwater Street 140-feet into
the site, to intersect Wrangler Street, as a 29-foot street section with curb, gutter, and 5-foot
wide attached concrete sidewalk within 40-feet of right-of-way; and construct the internal
streets as 29-foot street sections with curb, gutter, and 5-foot wide attached concrete sidewalk
within 40-feet of right-of-way.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant’s proposal does not meet District policy
and should not be approved, as proposed.
The applicant should be required to construct Springwater Street 140-feet into the site, to
intersect Wrangler Street, as a 29-foot street section with curb, gutter, and 5-foot wide
attached concrete sidewalk within 42-feet of right-of-way; and construct the internal streets as
29-foot street sections with curb, gutter, and 5-foot wide attached concrete sidewalk within 42-
feet of right-of-way.
The applicant should provide written approval by the Meridian Fire Department for the
reduced street sections.
The applicant should be required to construct the curves connecting the internal streets with
minimum 28-foot inside curb radii.
The applicant should be required to install “NO PARKING” signs along one-side of the street.
The applicant should coordinate signage with the District and as specified by the Meridian Fire
department.
SPECIAL RECOMMENDATION: Staff further recommends to the City of Meridian, that the
applicant be required to provide additional off-street parking to serve the site. Although
parking is allowed on one side of the street, parking is not permitted near intersections or on
curves, or in front of other driveways; therefore the parking spaces on the street will be limited.
3. Driveways
Meridian Road
a. Existing Conditions: There is an existing 16-foot wide driveway onto Meridian Road, located
approximately 684-feet south of Ustick Road, 500-feet south of Eastbrook Court, and 340-feet
north of Sedgewick Drive from the site.
b. Policy
Access Points Policy: District Policy 7205.4.1 states that all access points associated with
development applications shall be determined in accordance with the policies in this section
and Section 7202. Access points shall be reviewed only for a development application that is
being considered by the lead land use agency. Approved access points may be relocated
and/or restricted in the future if the land use intensifies, changes, or the property redevelops.
Access Policy: District policy 7205.4.6 states that direct access to minor arterials is typically
prohibited. If a property has frontage on more than one street, access shall be taken from the
street having the lesser functional classification. If it is necessary to take access to the higher
classified street due to a lack of frontage, the minimum allowable spacing shall be based on
Table 1a under District policy 7205.4.6, unless a waiver for the access point has been
approved by the District Commission.
Driveway Location Policy: District policy 7205.4.5 requires driveways located on minor
arterial roadways from a signalized intersection with a single left turn lane shall be located a
minimum of 330-feet from the nearest intersection for a right-in/right-out only driveway and a
minimum of 660-feet from the intersection for a full-movement driveway.
7 Maddyn Village/ MPP16-0025/ H-2016-0075
District policy 7205.4.5 requires driveways located on minor arterial roadways from a
signalized intersection with a dual left turn lane shall be located a minimum of 330-feet from
the nearest intersection for a right-in/right-out only driveway and a minimum of 710-feet from
the intersection for a full-movement driveway.
Successive Driveways: District policy 7205.4.6 Table 1a, requires driveways located on
minor arterial roadways with a speed limit of 35 MPH to align or offset a minimum of 330-feet
from any existing or proposed driveway.
Driveway Width Policy: District policy 7205.4.8 restricts high-volume driveways (100 VTD or
more) to a maximum width of 36-feet and low-volume driveways (less than 100 VTD) to a
maximum width of 30-feet. Curb return type driveways with 30-foot radii will be required for
high-volume driveways with 100 VTD or more. Curb return type driveways with 15-foot radii
will be required for low-volume driveways with less than 100 VTD.
Driveway Paving Policy: Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance
problems due to gravel being tracked onto the roadway. In accordance with District policy,
7205.4.8, the applicant should be required to pave the driveway its full width and at least 30-
feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of the roadway and install pavement tapers in
accordance with Table 2 under District Policy 7205.4.8.
Cross Access Easements/Shared Access Policy: District Policy 7202.4.1 states that cross
access utilizes a single vehicular connection that serves two or more adjoining lots or parcels
so that the driver does not need to re-enter the public street system.
c. Applicant’s Proposal: The applicant is proposing to utilize the existing driveway location and
construct a 25-foot wide driveway onto Meridian Road from the site.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The Ustick Road/ Meridian Road intersection is
scheduled to be constructed in 2016. Construction drawings show the existing driveway was
included to be constructed as part of the project at the existing width of 16-feet. Therefore, the
applicant will be required to pay to ACHD the cost of submitting a change order for the design
and construction of the proposed 25-foot wide curb return driveway prior to final plat approval.
However, the location of the existing driveway is directly in alignment with the proposed U-turn
medians and would be restricted to right-in/right-out only. After discussing with the applicant,
staff recommends that the applicant relocate the proposed driveway 140-feet south of the
existing driveway and approximately 346-feet north of Sedgewick Drive for a temporary full
access.
The applicant should be required to pave the driveway its full width and at least 30-feet into
the site from edge of pavement of the roadway.

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.
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.

Right of Way Improvements Guideline Request
Purpose: To develop the necessary avenue for proper notification to utilities of local highway
and road improvements, to help the utilities in budgeting and to clarify the already existing process.
1) Notification: Within five (5) working days upon notification of required right of way
improvements by Highway entities, developers shall provide written notification to the affected
utility owners and the Ada County Utility Coordinating Council (UCC). Notification shall include
but not be limited to, project limits, scope of roadway improvements/project, anticipated
construction dates, and any portions critical to the right of way improvements and coordination
of utilities.
2) Plan Review: The developer shall provide the highway entities and all utility owners with
preliminary project plans and schedule a plan review conference. Depending on the scale of
utility improvements, a plan review conference may not be necessary, as determined by the
utility owners. Conference notification shall also be sent to the UCC. During the review meeting
the developer shall notify utilities of the status of right of way/easement acquisition necessary
for their project. At the plan review conference each company shall have the right to appeal,
adjust and/or negotiate with the developer on its own behalf. Each utility shall provide the

RE: Land Use Change Application — Maddyn Village
Please note the District now requires three (3) sets of plans
To Whom It May Concern:
Enclosed please find a Land Use Change Application for your use to file with the Irrigation
District for its review on the above -referenced development. If this development is under a
"rush" to be finalized, I would recommend that you submit a cashier's check, money order
or cash as payment of the fees in order to speed the process up. If you submit a company
or personal check, it must clear the bank before processing the application.
Should this development be planning a pressure urban irrigation system that will be owned,
operated and maintained by the Irrigation District, I strongly urge you to coordinate with Greg G.
Curtis, Water Superintendent for the Irrigation District, concerning the installation of the
pressure system. Enclosed is a questionnaire that you must fill out and return in order to initiate
the process of contractual agreements between the owner or developer and the Irrigation
District for the ownership, operation and maintenance of the pressure urban irrigation system.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please feel free to call on me at the District's
office, or Greg G. Curtis, at the District's shop.
