Capital Improvements Plan/Five Year Work Program
Overland Road is scheduled in the District's Five Year Work Program to be widened to 5 lanes from
Meridian Road to Linder Road in 2007.
The intersection of Overland Road and Meridian Road (SH 69) is also scheduled in the District's Five
Year Work Program and the Capital Improvements Plan to be widened to 7 lanes on all four
intersection legs in 2007. .
Fin~ings for Consideration
This application is for a rezone and annexation only. Listed below are some of the policies
that apply to the site. Upon the receipt of a development application the District may require
additional Findings of Consideration that apply to the review of future development
applications.
1.
Right-ot-Way
Overland Road
District policy requires 96-feet of right-of-way on 5 lane arterial roadways and 120-feet on 7-lane
arterial roadways (Figure 72-F1 B). These right-of-way widths allows for the construction of a 5 to 7-
lane roadway with curb, gutter, 5-footconcrete detached sidewalks and bike lanes.
The intersection of Overland Road and Meridian Road (SH 69) is currently listed in the District's Five
Year Work Program and the intersection design is 95% complete. The District's Design Department
has determined the necessary right-of-way widths for the interse.ction project.
Dedicate 65-feet of right-of-way (tapering to 54-feet of right-of-way at the west property line, see
intersection design plans) from the centerline of Overland Road abutting the parcel by means of a
warranty deed. The right-of-way purchase and sale agreement and deed must be completed and
signed by the applicant prior to scheduling the final plat for signature by the ACHD Commission or
prior to issuance of a building permit (or other required permits), whichever occurs first. Allow up to
30 business days to process the right-of-way dedication after receipt of all requested material. The
owner will be paid the fair market value of the right-of-way dedicated which is an addition to existing
ACHD right-of-way if the owner submits a letter of application to the impact fee administrator prior to
breaking ground, in accordance with the ACHD Ordinance in effect at that time (currently Ordinance
#200), iffunds are available.

2.
Sidewalk
Overland Road
District policy requires 7-foot wide attached (or 5-foot detached) concrete sidewalk on all collector
roadways and arterial roadways (7204.7.2).
The applicant will be required to either construct a 5-foot detached concrete sidewalk abutting the site
on Overland Road or provide the District with a road trust for the approximate cost of the sidewalk
$9,000 ($20 a lineal foot, 450-feet). If the applicant chooses to construct the detached concrete
sidewalk, they should coordinate with District Development Review and Design staff on the location of
the sidewalk.
3.
Driveways
Offsets
District policy 72-F4 (1) requires driveways located on arterial roadways neara signalized intersection
to be located a minimum of 440-feet from the signalized intersection for a full-access driveway and a
minimum of 220-feet from the signalized intersection for a right-in/right-out only driveway.
There is an existing driveway on the norih side of Overland Road located approximately 200-feet
west of the intersection of Overland Road and Meridian Road (SH 69). The applicant will be required
to align the first proposed driveway on Overland Road with the existing driveway on the norih side of
Overland Road. This driveway meets the criteria to be restricted to a right-in/right-<Jut driveway;
however, due to the existing driveway on the norlh side, it will not be restricted at this time. The
District reseNes the right to restrict the driveways to right-in/right-out driveways in the future if the
driveways become a safety concern.
The applicant has proposed a second driveway on Overland Road located approximately 36CJ.-feet
west of the intersection of Overland Road and Meridian Road (SH 69). This driveway will be required
to be shifted. The driveway should be located in accordance with District policy, 440-feet west of the
intersection of Overland Road and Meridian Road (SH 69). The location of this driveway will be
dependent upon the review of site distance by District Traffic SeNices staff with the development
application.
Widths
District policy 7207.9.3 restricts commercial driveways with daily traffic volumes over 1,000 vehicles
to a maximum width of 36-feet. Most commercial driveways will be constructed as curb-cut type
facilities if located on local streets. Curb return type driveways with 15-foot radii will be required for
driveways accessing collector and arterial roadways.
Paving
Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance problems due to gravel being tracked
onto the roadway. In accordance with District policy, 7207.9.1, 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 with 15-foot radii abutting the existing roadway edge.
Meridian Road (SH 69)
Meridian Road (SH 69) is under the jurisdiction of the Idaho Transportation Department. The
application should contact ITD to determine what improvements and access points will be required on
State Highway 69.

with this application, no other access points to Overland Road are approved. A note of the access
restriction should be placed on the final plat.
