Impact Fees: There will be an impact fee that is assessed and due prior to issuance of any building permits. The assessed impact fee will be based on the impact fee ordinance that is in effect at that time. 8. Capital Improvements Plan (CIP)/ Integrated Five Year Work Plan (IFYWP):  Overland Road is listed in the Capital Improvements Plan to be widened to 7-lanes from Eagle Road to Cloverdale Road between 2031 and 2037.  Cloverdale Road is listed in the Capital Improvements Plan to be widened to 5-lanes from Victory Road to Overland Road between 2021 and 2025.  The intersection of Overland Road and Cloverdale Road is listed in the Capital Improvements Plan to be widened to 7-lanes on the north leg, 7-lanes on the south, 8-lanes east, and 8-lanes on the west leg, and signalized between 2026 and 2030.  The intersection of Overland Road and Eagle Road is listed in the Capital Improvements Plan to be widened to 7-lanes on the north leg, 6-lanes on the south, 9-lanes east, and 9-lanes on the west leg, and signalized between 2026 and 2030. B. Traffic Findings for Consideration 1. Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate 4,055 additional vehicle trips per day; 417 additional vehicle trips per hour in the PM peak hour, based on the traffic impact study. 2. Traffic Impact Study Thompson Engineers prepared a traffic impact study for the proposed Movado Subdivision. Below is an executive summary of the findings as presented by Thompson Engineers. The following executive summary is not the opinion of ACHD staff. ACHD has reviewed the submitted traffic impact study for consistency with ACHD policies and practices, and may have additional requirements beyond what is noted in the summary. ACHD Staff comments on the submitted traffic impact study can be found below under staff comments. This project is the 2nd phase of a development which also includes the Silverstone Apartment application. The excerpts below are specific to the 2nd phase of the project, Movado Subdivision. Thompson Engineers, Inc. has been retained to prepare a traffic impact study for the proposed Silverstone Apartments, Movado Residential Subdivision, and Commercial Development in Meridian, ID. This project is located on Overland Road between Eagle Road and Cloverdale Road. The proposed of this study is to evaluate the potential traffic impacts resulting from the project and make recommendations for mitigation for those impacts. The study is prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Ada County Highway District. The project will be fully developed in at least three phases: a 312 unit apartment complex, a 463 single family dwelling unity and townhouse subdivision, and a 17.4 acre commercial /office development. The site is expected to access the transportation system primarily via Overland Road. The residential subdivision will also connect to existing stub streets to the west that will provide additional accessibility. Study Area: 3 Movado Estates/ MPP16-0032/ H-2016-0112 The area of influence is anticipated to be Ada County, Idaho, including the City of Meridian. The primary impacts will be along Overland Road and Cloverdale Road. The study area includes the intersections of:  Eagle Road and Overland Road  Cloverdale Road and Overland Road  Silverstone Way and Overland Road  Rolling Hills Drive and Overland Road Conclusions:  Based on the trip generation methods recommended in the Trip Generation Manual, Phase 2 will generate 4,055 trips per day, of which 329 trips will occur during the AM peak hour and 417 trips will occur during the PM peak hour.  The site will access the transportation system via Overland Road, and via existing Copper Point Way and Pewter Falls Street that will access Eagle Road through Silverstone Commercial development.  The intersection of Eagle Road and Overland road is currently operating near capacity. Improvements necessary for the intersection to operate at an acceptable level of service are included in the ACHD CIP for the planning period of 2027-2031. The critical peak hour is in the AM peak hour. Site traffic comprises 5.2% of the total traffic at the intersection in the AM Peak Hour.  The intersection of Silverstone Way and Overland road will operate at an acceptable level of service under background and total traffic conditions in the build out year. The critical peak hour is in the PM peak hour.  The intersection of Cloverdale Road and Overland road will operate at capacity under background traffic condition in the Phase 2 build out year. The critical peak hour is in the PM peak hour. Additional lanes are required to provide additional capacity to the intersection. Improvements to the intersection are included in the ACHD CIP in the 2017- 2022 planning period. Site traffic will comprise approximately 8.6% of the total traffic in the Phase 2 build out year. (Note: The TIS was prepared before the 2016 CIP was adopted and therefore references different date ranges.)  Overland Road is expected to operate at an acceptable level better than LOS E in the build out year based on the ACHD policy for principal arterial roads.  Cloverdale Road south of Overland Road is currently operating above recommended capacity based on the ACHD policy for arterial roads. In order to operate at an acceptable level of service, Cloverdale Road would need to be widened to five lanes. The ACHD CIP includes a project to widen Cloverdale Road in the 2017-2022 planning period.  Cloverdale Road north of Overland is anticipated to operate at an acceptable level of service for the existing five lane section south of the freeway overpass. The freeway overpass is limited to two lanes, but does not have any turning traffic on the overpass so the capacity is higher. The ACHD CIP includes a project to widen Cloverdale Road in the 2017-2022 planning period.  The access to Phase 2 will meet the guidelines for a right turn lane on Overland Road. This would be the only right turn lane on this segment of Overland Road. Staff Comments/Recommendations: ACHD’s Traffic Services and Planning Review staff has reviewed and generally agree with the findings and recommendations of the submitted traffic impact study (TIS). 4 Movado Estates/ MPP16-0032/ H-2016-0112 ACHD staff recommends a modification to the acceptable LOS for the intersection of Cloverdale Road and Overland Road. The intersection is listed in the updated ACHD CIP. Upon completion of the ACHD project, the intersection is estimated to operate at an acceptable LOS. ACHD staff recommends a modification to the acceptable LOS for Cloverdale Road south of Overland Road. This segment of Cloverdale Road is listed in the updated ACHD CIP. Upon completion of the ACHD project, this section of Cloverdale Road is estimated to operate at an acceptable LOS. Consistent with the TIS, the applicant should be required to construct a right turn lane on Overland Road entering the site at the public street intersection. 3. Condition of Area Roadways Traffic Count is based on Vehicles per hour (VPH) * Acceptable level of service for a five-lane principal arterial is “E” (1,780 VPH). * Acceptable level of service for a two-lane minor arterial is “E” (575 VPH). * Acceptable level of service for a five-lane minor arterial is “E” (1,540 VPH). *Local street thresholds are based on daily volumes, and should not exceed 2,000 VDT. 4. Average Daily Traffic Count (VDT) Average daily traffic counts are based on ACHD’s most current traffic counts.  The average daily traffic count for Overland Road west of Cloverdale Road was 24,364 on 12/1/15.  The average daily traffic count for Cloverdale Road north of Overland Road was 14,607 on 12/1/15.  The average daily traffic count for Cloverdale Road south of Overland Road was 14,411 on 5/6/14.  The average daily traffic count for Eagle Road east of Easy Jet was 18,515 on 2/4/15.  The average daily traffic count on Muir Ridge Drive west of Cloverdale Road was 939 on 10/14/14.  The average daily traffic count on Goshen Way south of Muir Ridge Drive was 804 on 10/14/14. Roadway Frontage Functional Classification PM Peak Hour Traffic Count PM Peak Hour Level of Service Existing Plus Project Overland Road (5-lanes) N/A Principal Arterial 1,138 Better than “E” Better than “E” Cloverdale Road (2-lanes) 700-feet Minor Arterial 771 “F” “F” Eagle Road (5-lanes) N/A Principal Arterial 931 Better than “E” Better than “E” Muir Ridge Dr. N/A Local 71 N/A N/A Goshen Way N/A Local 58 N/A N/A Easy Jet Dr. N/A Local 32 N/A N/A 5 Movado Estates/ MPP16-0032/ H-2016-0112  The average daily traffic count on Easy Jet Drive east of Jeblar Way was 582 on 3/12/2015. C. Findings for Consideration 1. LOS Standards a. Applicant Proposal: Cloverdale Road south of Overland Road is currently operating below the acceptable LOS. The applicant’s proposal will cause the intersection of Cloverdale Road and Overland Road to operate below the acceptable LOS. This is upon full build out of the project without improvements to the intersection or to Cloverdale Road. b. Staff Comments/Recommendations: Cloverdale Road south of Overland Road is currently operating at LOS F and is listed as an existing 5-lane deficiency in the CIP. The intersection of Cloverdale and Overland is listed in the CIP, and is planned for future reconstruction/widening. The proposed project does not take access to Cloverdale Road. Future ACHD improvements include widening Cloverdale Road to 5 lanes from Overland Road to Victory Road, relocating the Ridenbaugh Canal, and reconstructing the intersection of Cloverdale Road and Overland Road. The costs associated with widening Cloverdale Road ($5,840,000) and the intersection ($6,600,000) make it infeasible for the applicant to construct the improvements. Based on the TIS, upon build-out of this development, site traffic will comprise approximately 8.6% of the total traffic at the intersection of Cloverdale Road and Overland Road. Upon completion of the ACHD projects, the intersection and road segment are projected to operate at an acceptable LOS. Based on the findings above, staff recommends a waiver of District Policy 7106.4.1 Level of Service Standards. 2. Ridenbaugh Canal a. Existing Conditions: The Ridenbaugh Canal runs adjacent to the site. The canal crosses Cloverdale Road twice requiring 2 bridges adjacent to the site. b. Applicant Proposal: The applicant’s proposal is as follows:  Provide all engineering and approval efforts with Nampa Meridian Irrigation District.  Provide the land to ACHD for the relocated Ridenbaugh Canal as well as the Eight Mile Creek.  Tile the Eight Mile Creek adjacent to Cloverdale Road and in the landscape buffer area.  Developer & ACHD to provide the earthwork associated with relocation of the Ridenbaugh Canal.  ACHD to provide the concrete liner required for the newly relocated area of the Ridenbaugh Canal (not areas of the existing Ridenbaugh). c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: When ACHD widens Cloverdale Road in the future from 2-lanes to 5-lanes, ACHD plans to relocate the Ridenbaugh Canal. The canal will be relocated to the west side of Cloverdale Road eliminating the two existing bridges. ACHD staff recommends that the applicant enter into a cooperative development agreement with ACHD. ACHD would be financially responsible for a proportionate share of the necessary earthwork, lining and design of the canal abutting Cloverdale Road. Upon completion of the canal relocation, the applicant will widen Cloverdale Road and construct sidewalk as listed in Finding 4 below. 6 Movado Estates/ MPP16-0032/ H-2016-0112 3. Overland Road a. Existing Conditions: Overland Road is improved with 5-travel lanes, vertical curb, gutter, and 7-foot wide sidewalk abutting the site. There is 105-feet of right-of-way for Overland Road (55-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 7-lane street section shall be 96-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb) within 120-feet of right-of-way. This width typically accommodates three travel lanes in each direction, a continuous raised or landscaped median with intermittent turn lanes, and safety shoulders. 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 sidewalks 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 Overland Road is designated in the MSM as a Mobility Arterial with 7-lanes and on-street bike lanes, a 96-foot street section within 124-feet of right-of-way. 7 Movado Estates/ MPP16-0032/ H-2016-0112 c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant has proposed to construct a right turn lane on Overland Road entering the site at the proposed public street, Movado Way. As the land abutting Overland Road is not included in the Movado Estates Subdivision, the applicant has worked in coordination with the property owner to deed the necessary land for the spine road and the associated right turn lane. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: Consistent with the TIS, the applicant should be required to construct a right turn lane on Overland Road entering the site at the proposed public street, Movado Way. The applicant should coordinate with ACHD staff on the design of the right turn lane and right-of-way dedication. Parcels abutting Overland Road are not included in the Movado Estates Subdivision, the following improvements are not required with this application. However, they should be taken into consideration; and they will be required upon further development of the land abutting Overland Road. Consistent with the MSM, the applicant should be required to dedicate additional right -of-way to total 62-feet from the centerline of Overland Road abutting the site to accommodate future widening to a 7-lane roadway. Consistent with ACHD’s Minor Improvement Policy, the applicant should be required to replace deteriorated or broken portions of curb, gutter, and sidewalk on Overland Road abutting the site. 4. Cloverdale Road a. Existing Conditions: Cloverdale Road is improved with 2-travel lanes (30-feet of pavement) and no curb, gutter or sidewalk abutting the site. There is 71-feet of right-of-way for Cloverdale Road (26-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. 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 8 Movado Estates/ MPP16-0032/ H-2016-0112 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).

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 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 Cloverdale Road is designated in the MSM as a Residential Arterial with 5-lanes and on-street bike lanes within 96-feet of right- of -way. c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct sidewalk along Cloverdale Road abutting the site after the canal relocation has occurred. The applicant is also proposing to construct a pedestrian footbridge from the subdivision across the relocated Ridenbaugh Canal connecting to Cloverdale Road. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant should be required to provide pavement widening to a minimum of 17-feet from centerline plus a 3-foot wide gravel shoulder adjacent to the entire site. The applicant should be required to construct sidewalk along Cloverdale Road abutting the site after the canal relocation. The applicant should be required to provide a license agreement, including a hold harmless clause, for the foot bridge located within ACHD right-of- way. To provide space for the canal relocation and the Cloverdale Road widening project, the applicant should be required to dedicate approximately 120-feet of right-of-way from the centerline of Cloverdale Road. As the canal relocation is associated with the widening of Cloverdale Road listed in the Capital Improvements Plan, the applicant shall be compensated for the right-of-way dedication. 5. Movado Way (Collector) a. Existing Conditions: There are no roadways existing internal to the site. b. Policy: Collector Street Policy: District policy 7206.2.1 states that the developer is responsible for improving all collector frontages adjacent to the site or internal to the development as required below, regardless of whether access is taken to all of the adjacent streets. Master Street Map and Typologies Policy: District policy 7206.5 states that if the collector street is designated with a typology on the Master Street Map, that typology shall be 9 Movado Estates/ MPP16-0032/ H-2016-0112 considered for the required street improvements. If there is no typology listed in the Master Street Map, then standard street sections shall serve as the default. Street Section and Right-of-Way Policy: District policy 7206.5.2 states that the standard right-of-way width for collector streets shall typically be 50 to 70-feet, depending on the location and width of the sidewalk and the location and use of the roadway. The right -of-way width may be reduced, with District approval, if the sidewalk is located within an easement; in which case the District will require a minimum right-of-way width that extends 2-feet behind the back-of-curb on each side. The standard street section shall be 46-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb). This width typically accommodates a single travel lane in each direction, a continuous center left-turn lane, and bike lanes. Residential Collector Policy: District policy 7206.5.2 states that the standard street section for a collector in a residential area shall be 36-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb). The District will consider a 33-foot or 29-foot street section with written fire department approval and taking into consideration the needs of the adjacent land use, the projected volumes, the need for bicycle lanes, and on-street parking. Sidewalk Policy: District policy 7206.5.6 requires a concrete sidewalks at least 5-feet wide to be constructed on both sides of all collector 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. Landscape Medians Policy: District policy 7206.5.14 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. ACHD Master Street Map: ACHD Policy Section 3111.1 requires the Master Street Map (MSM) guide the right-of-way acquisition, collector street requirements, and specific roadway features required through development. A new collector roadway was identified on the MSM with the street typology of Residential Collector. The Residential Collector typology as 10 Movado Estates/ MPP16-0032/ H-2016-0112 depicted in the Livable Street Design Guide recommends a 2-lane roadway with bike lanes, and on street parking, a 47-foot street section within 69-feet of right-of-way. c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct Movado Way as a collector street. The proposal consists of a 33-foot street section with vertical curb and gutter, 8-foot wide planter strips and 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk. This is proposed to be within 35-feet of deeded right-of-way and two 13-foot wide sidewalk easements. The applicant is proposing an entry gatehouse and monument located within the right-of-way on Movado Way, located approximately 895-feet south of Overland Road. In this location the applicant is proposing a 13-foot wide median, two 20½-foot travel lanes with vertical curb and gutter, 8-foot wide planter strips and 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant’s proposal to construct Movado Way as a 33-foot street section with vertical curb and gutter, 8-foot wide planter strips and 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk meets District policy. The applicant should be required to provide approval from the appropriate fire department for the reduced street section. The applicant should provide a sidewalk easement that extends a minimum of 2-feet beyond the back edge of the sidewalk. Construct Movado Way with a 13-foot wide median, two 20½-foot travel lanes with vertical curb and gutter, 8-foot wide planter strips and 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk at the proposed entry gatehouse and monument. The proposed median is approved in excess of 12- feet wide, due to the location away from an intersection. The applicant should be required to provide a license agreement, including a hold harmless clause, for the landscaping and structure located within the right-of-way. 6. Internal Local Streets a. Existing Conditions: There are no existing streets internal to the site. 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 50-feet wide and that the standard street section shall be 36-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb). The District will consider the utilization of a street width less than 36-feet with written fire department approval. Standard Urban Local Street—36-foot to 33-foot Street Section and Right-of-way Policy: District Policy 7207.5.2 states that 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 concrete sidewalks on both sides and shall typically be within 50-feet of right-of-way. The District will also consider the utilization of a street width less than 36-feet with written fire department approval. Most often this width is a 33-foot street section (back-of-curb to back- of -curb) for developments with any buildable lot that is less than 1 acre in size. 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. 11 Movado Estates/ MPP16-0032/ H-2016-0112  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. c. Applicant’s Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct the internal local streets as 33-foot street sections, with curb gutter and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk within 44-feet of right-of-way. The proposal consists of 2 cul-de-sacs, one at the terminus of Axor Drive and the other at the terminus of Mayflower Place. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant’s proposal to construct the internal local streets as 33-foot street sections, with curb gutter and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk meets District policy and should be approved as proposed. The applicant should be required to provide approval from the appropriate fire department for the reduced street section. The applicant should provide a sidewalk easement (or deeded right-of-way) that extends a minimum of 2-feet beyond the back edge of the sidewalk. 12 Movado Estates/ MPP16-0032/ H-2016-0112 Cul-de-sacs should be constructed to provide a minimum turning radius of 45-feet. 7. Roadway Offsets a. Existing Conditions: No roadways exist internal to the site. b. Policy: Collector Street Intersection Spacing on Principal Arterials: District policy 7205.4.2 states that the optimum spacing for new signalized collector roadways intersecting principal arterials is one half-mile. As identified in Table 1b (7205.4.6) the minimum separation for unsignalized public streets is 1,320-feet from any existing or proposed street. 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 1a (7205.4.6). Local Offset Policy: District policy 7206.4.5, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 330-feet on a collector roadway (measured centerline to centerline). District policy 7207.4.2, requires local roadways to align or provide a minimum offset of 125- feet from any other street (measured centerline to centerline). c. Applicant’s Proposal: The applicant is proposing Movado Way (a residential collector) to intersect Overland Road, located 1,625-feet (0.31-miles) west of Cloverdale Road and 745- feet east of Rolling Hills Drive, a local street. The applicant is not proposing any vehicular access to Cloverdale Road. A pedestrian pathway is proposed as the only access to Cloverdale Road abutting the site. The applicant is proposing 2 local streets (Axor Drive and Jado Drive) to intersect Movado Way. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: Overland Road – The proposed location for Movado Way to intersect Overland Road does not meet the required spacing from Rolling Hill Drive. Staff recommends a modification of policy to locate Movado Way due to the cost and time associated with moving power poles. As stated previously a right turn lane is required on Overland Road at Movado Way. If the intersection of Movado Way is moved further west on Overland Road to increase the offset from Cloverdale Road, the location of the right turn lane would require the relocation of large steel power poles. The applicant discussed the relocation of the power poles with Idaho Power and found that the cost to move each pole would be between $70,000 and $100,000 per pole. The relocation of the power poles can only occur during non-peak (energy) times of the year. Non-peak times are typically fall and spring and would not coincide with the applicant’s construction scheduled. Given the cost and time associated with the relocation of the large steel power poles, staff is supportive of a modification of policy to allow Movado Way to intersect Overland Road as proposed. This segment of Overland Road has a free continuous center turn lane to provide for a safer left turning movement at the proposed location. The applicant should coordinate with ACHD staff on the design of the right turn lane. The intersection of Movado Way and Overland does not meet the necessary warrants to be signalized at this time. 13 Movado Estates/ MPP16-0032/ H-2016-0112 Cloverdale Road - Vehicular access is not proposed with this application, and is not required per District policy and as demonstrated by the TIS. Movado Way - The proposed local street intersections on Movado Way are in excess of the required 330-foot offset. Pewter Falls Drive - The proposed private road/driveway intersecting Pewter Falls Drive at the west property line meets District policy and is approved as proposed. (Note: This private road/private drive is NOT approved as a public street as ACHD would have to accept maintenance of another crossing of Five Mile Creek, the street would be less than 150-feet in length, and a full turnaround would be required.) 8. Stub Streets a. Existing Conditions: Pewter Falls Street and Copper Point Drive/Knapp Avenue each stub to the western property line of the site. The existing stubs are located 1,290 and 2,640-feet south of Overland Road respectively. 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 W ILL 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. Legend = Stub Street 14 Movado Estates/ MPP16-0032/ H-2016-0112 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 is proposing to extend both stub streets into the site and taper down to 33-foot street sections. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant’s proposal meets District policy and should be approved as proposed. The applicant’s proposal to extend the stub streets into the site, meets ACHD policy and is encouraged to provide neighborhood connectivity. ACHD policy has a threshold of 2,000 vehicle trips per day on local streets. Both Muir Ridge Drive and Goshen Way have less than 1,000 vehicle trips per day under existing conditions. With the extension of stub streets with this development, and the main entrance to the subdivision off Overland Road, the local streets in the surrounding subdivision are expected to stay below 1,000 vehicle trips per day. Additionally, the design and layout of the streets in Muir Woods, discourages hig h speeds and cut-thru traffic. Additionally the developer will be constructing a pedestrian connection to Cloverdale Road to reduce vehicle trips to the school. 9. Driveways 9.1 Movado Way a. Existing Conditions: This street will be constructed with this application. b. Policy: Access 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. District Policy 7206.1 states that the primary function of a collector is to intercept traffic from the local street system and carry that traffic to the nearest arterial. A secondary function is to service adjacent property. Access will be limited or controlled. Collectors may also be designated at bicycle and bus routes. Driveway Location Policy: District policy 7206.4.4 requires driveways located on collector roadways near a STOP controlled intersection to be located outside of the area of influence; OR a minimum of 150-feet from the intersection, whichever is greater. Dimensions shall be measured from the centerline of the intersection to the centerline of the driveway. Successive Driveways: District policy 7206.4.5 Table 1, requires driveways located on collector roadways with a speed limit of 25 MPH and daily traffic volumes greater than 100 VTD to align or offset a minimum of 245-feet from any existing or proposed driveway. Driveway Width Policy: District policy 7206.4.6 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, 7206.4.6, 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 7206.4.6. 15 Movado Estates/ MPP16-0032/ H-2016-0112 Driveway Design Criteria: If a driveway is to be gated, the gate or keypad (if applicable) shall be located a minimum of 50-feet from the adjacent street and an on-site turnaround shall be provided. 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 driveways with curb, gutter and sidewalk; installation or reconstruction of pedestrian ramps; pavement repairs; signs; traffic control devices; and other similar items. c. Applicant’s Proposal: The applicant proposal includes private gated access to the cottages off Movado Way. The driveway is located 380-feet south of the proposed Axor Drive and 320- feet north of the proposed Jado Drive. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District policy and should be approved as proposed. The applicant should be required to locate the proposed gate a minimum of 50-feet from the edge of pavement on Movado Way, and provide a turnaround. 10. Private Roads a. Private Road Policy: District policy 7212.1 states that the lead land use agencies in Ada County establish the requirements for private streets. The District retains authority and will review the proposed intersection of a private and public street for compliance with District intersection policies and standards. The private road should have the following requirements:  Designed to discourage through traffic between two public streets,  Graded to drain away from the public street intersection, and  If a private road is gated, the gate or keypad (if applicable) shall be located a minimum of 50-feet from the near edge of the intersection and a turnaround shall be provided. b. Applicant Proposal: The proposal includes a private road which was approved as part of the Silverstone Apartments, and connects to the extension of Pewter Falls Street. c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: Part of this application also includes the proposed private road off Pewter Falls. This private road is proposed to connect the Silverstone Apartments to Pewter Falls Street. This connection will provide the future residents of the apartments with alternative access to and from the site. The applicant should not be allowed to gate the private road connecting to Pewter Falls Street. A gate in this location would either restrict the residents of the previously approved Silverstone Apartments or create stacking onto Pewter Falls Street. Any gates to access the cottages should be constructed on the private drive abutting the private road. 11. Silverstone Apartments a. Existing Conditions: The Silverstone Apartments were approved with a cross access stubbed to the future commercial piece west of Movado Way. 16 Movado Estates/ MPP16-0032/ H-2016-0112 b. Staff Comments/Recommendations: Staff is anticipating that cross access be provided through the future commercial piece, providing a connection from the Silverstone Apartments to Movado Way. 12. Bridge for Eightmile Creek Crossing The District will require that the applicant submit the bridge plans for the crossing of Eightmile Creek for review and approval prior to the pre-construction meeting and final plat approval. Note: all plan submittals for bridges or pipe crossings of irrigation facilities should be submitted to ACHD for review no later than December 15th for construction in the following year prior to irrigation season. 13. Master Street Map (MSM) a. Existing Conditions: The MSM calls for an extension of a future collector roadway to extend from Copper Point Drive / Knapp Avenue (collector) to Overland Road, and from Copper Point Drive to Cloverdale Road (both shown in yellow below). b. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant’s proposal does not include Movado Way (proposed collector) connecting Copper Point Drive to Overland Road, as shown in the MSM. However, the proposal does provide for connectivity from Copper Point Drive to Movado Way through a local street network. The applicant’s proposal keeps site connectivity intact, while minimizing safety concerns due to excess speeds with wider, collector roadways. The proposed density of this development does not warrant collector roadways as shown on the MSM. For these reasons, ACHD staff recommends removal of the southern 700-feet of the collector listed in the MSM connecting Copper Point Drive to Overland Road. ACHD staff, in conjunction with the City of Meridian, recommends removal of the collector shown internal to the site connecting Copper Point Drive to Cloverdale Road. There is a high level of connectivity existing in this square mile, and based on the TIS, traffic volumes are not expected to warrant an additional collector roadway. Subject Site 17 Movado Estates/ MPP16-0032/ H-2016-0112 14. 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. 15. 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. 16. Other Access Overland Road and Cloverdale Road are classified as arterial roadways. Other than the access specifically approved with this application, direct lot access is prohibited to these roadways and should be noted on the final plat. D. Site Specific Conditions of Approval 1. Enter into a cooperative development agreement with ACHD for the relocation of the Ridenbaugh Canal, including earthwork, lining and design of the canal abutting Cloverdale Road. 2.
