4225 West Cherry Lane
2-lot residential subdivision
Facts and Findings:
The Ada County Highway District (ACHD) staff has received the above referenced application
requesting rezone approval for 2.3-acres from zone R-1 to R-4. Applicant is also requesting
preliminary plat approval to plat a 2-lot residential subdivision. The 2.3-acre site is located on
the south side of Cherry Lane approximately 1/3 of a mile east of Black Cat Road. This
development is estimated to generate 10 additional vehicle trips per day (10 existing) based on
the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual.
The application and site plan stamped and received by City of Meridian on December 18, 2001,
and submitted to the District on December 27, 2001, has been reviewed by *._he ACHD plmrming
and Development staff and conforms to applicable District standards/policy, or can be made to
conform with the change(s) to the plan described in the requirements stated below.
This is a stafflevel approval and will not be heard by the ACHI) Commission unless the site plan
is changed in such a manner as to not conform to District standards/policy or an appeal of the
Planning and Development staff decision is submitted as described within the Standard
Requirements outlined below.
D. on January 2, 2002, the District Plann/ng and Development staff inspected this site and
evaluated the transportation system in the vicinity. On January 4, 2002, the staffmet as the
District's Technical Review Committee and reviewed the impacts of this proposed development
on the District's transportation system. The results of that analysis constitute the following Facts
and Findings and recommended Site Specific Requirements.
S ADSTECH~WORKINGLHearthstone.sla.doc
Page 1
Development patterns in the surrounding area are residential. Based on development patterns in
this area and the resulting trattic generation, staff anticipates that the transportation system will
not be adequate to accommodate additional traffic generated by this proposed development at
accepted levels of service with out modification to Chary Lane. The additional traffic generated
by this development will have minimal detrimental impact on the transportation system.
F. There is currently an existing residence on Lot-1 of this site that takes access to Cherry Lane.
The existing residence has a circle driveway that is located approximately 1 O-feet west of the east
propexty line, and at the west property line of the proposed Lot 1, approximately 125-feet west of
a public street on the north side of Cherry Lane. District policy requires driveways on classified
roadways to align or offset a minimum of 150-feet from any existing or proposed driveways or
streets. The driveway locations do not meet District policy.
G. At the Commission meeting on February 20, 2002, the ACI-ID Commission voted to allow both
access points to remain to the existing single family dwelling until such time that the lot
redevelops or the dwelling is replaced with a new structure. The Commission approved the
modification request because of safety concerns relating to vehicles backing out into Cherry
Lane, and because the lot generates less than 10 vehicle trips per day.
ACI-II) has received a preliminary plat application for the parcel to the eastl and the developer
testified at the ACHD Commission meeting on February 20, 2002. That developer is proposing
to construct a public street along the east property line of this site. If a street is constructed in
that location with another development, this applicant is not required to make any improvements
to that roadway.
The Commission made the following motion: "The existing access points on Cherry Lane
located approximately 10-feet west of the east property line of the proposed Lot 1, and at the
west property line of the proposed Lot 1, are approved with this application. Upon
redevelopment of Lot 1 (redevelopment defined as a structure requiring a building permit, other
than a shed or garage) the easterly driveway shall be closed, and the existing driveway at the
west property line of Lot I shall be approved as'the only access to the lot l~om Cherry Lane. An
on-site turnaround shall be required at that time to prevent the need to back in to Cherry Lane
from the site, and the design of the turnaround shall be approVed by ACHD." The Commission
also added that should the property to the east construct a public street along the east property
line of this site, then when the parcel redevelops (Lot 1), no access to Cherry Lane will be
approved and all access should be taken offofthe local public street.
II.
The applicant is requesting to utilize an existing approved private road to access the proposed
Lot-2 located adjacent to the west property line. The paved private road was approved under file
# 99-11-PR on May 5, 1999. The applicant should provide the District with a copy of a recorded
access easement among the parcels for use of the private road for access to the public street prior
to final plat approval.
I. There is an existing curb cut on Cherry Lane located at the east property line of the proposed Lot
2. The applicant is proposing to utilize the existing private road, and therefore the Cherry Lane
S:~ STECI~WORKINGXHearthstone.sla.doc
Page 2
curb cut is not needed to access the lot. The applicant should replace the curb cut with standard
curb, gutter and sidewalk to match existing improvements.
The following Site Specific Requirements and Standard Requirements must be met or provided
for prior to ACHD approval of the final plat:
Site Specific Requirements:

property line of this site, then when the parcel redevelops (Lot 1), no access to Cherry Lane will
be approved and all access should be taken off of the local public street. Notes of these
requirements shall be included on the final plat.

Dear Planners:
The Meridian School District has experienced phenomenal student growth the last ten years. The
high schools, middle schools, and elementary schools throughout the district are operating over
capacity.
Approval of Hearthstone Subdivision will have a significant impact on school enrollments at
Chaparral Elementary, Meridian Middle, and Meridian High School.
Additional students will further compound thc current overcrowded situation. Residents
cannot be assured of attending the neighborhood school as it may be necessary to bus
students to other schools across the district.
School capacity is addressed in Idaho Code 67-6508. The Meridian School District is
currently operating beyond capacity. Future development will continue to have an impact
on the district's capacity. If you have any questions, please contact me at 888-6701.
Sincerely,
Wendel Big'~~
