Findings of Fact
1.
Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate 985 additional vehicle trips per day (0
existing) based on the submitted traffic impact study.
2.
Impact Fees: There will be an impact fee that is assessed and due prior to issuance of a building
permit. The assessed impact fee will be based on the impact fee ordinance that is in effect at that
time.
3.
Traffic Impact Study: A traffic impact study was required with this application.
The proposed Monterey Subdivision is 115-lot single family residential development located near the
northwest corner of the McMillan Road/Locust Grove Road intersection.
1. At full buildout the site development will produce a total driveway volume of 985 vehicles per day
with a PM peak hour loading of 185 vehicles per hour.
2. The proposed site access plan includes one all-movement access to Locust Grove Road and an
all-movement driveway to McMillan Road.
3. The Locust Grove/McMillan intersection now operates with moderate traffic congestion. A traffic
signal will be needed to accommodate projected traffic volumes through the year 2010.
4. The proposed site access plan will conform to acceptable standards (LOS "B"). The average
queue for vehicles exiting the site will be less than one vehicle.
5. Neither access generates sufficient turning traffic to warrant a left-turn lane on the adjacent
arterial.
6. The projected traffic volumes in the current COMPASS model exceed the assumptions in the
ACHD CIP.

Findings for Consideration
Right-oJ-Way and Sidewalk
McMillan Road
District policy requires 96-feet of right-of-way on arterial roadways (Figure 72-F1 B). This right-of-way
allows for the construction of a 5-lane roadway with curb, gutter, 5-foot concrete detached sidewalks
and bike lanes.
District policy requires 7 -foot wide attached (or 5-foot detached) concrete sidewalk on all collector
roadways and arterial roadways (7204.7.2).
Typically, the District requires developments abutting arterial roadways to dedicate 48-feet of
right-of-way from the centerline of the roadway and construct a 5-foot detached concrete
sidewalk located a minimum of 41-feet from centerline. The North Meridian Traffic Study
examined the need for each of the arteriai roadways located within the North Meridian Area.
As a result of that analysis, the District determined that McMillan Road would only need to be
constructed as a 3-lane roadway with vertical curb, gutter, sidewalk and bike lanes within 70-
feet of right-of-way. In order to be consistent with the findings of the North Meridian Study and
the analysis, the applicant should provide right-of-way and improvements consistent with a 3-
lane arterial. This development is also unique in the fact that there is a significantly sized
canal located on the north side of McMillan Road abutting the parcel. In the past, the District
has acquired right-of-way and improvements on McMillan Road a little differently because of
the canals location. Due to the fact that the canal is located on the north side of McMillan
Road, the District will not acquire any additional right-of-way on McMillan Road and will
acquire the right-of-way that is necessary for future improvements from the properties that are
located on the south side of McMillan Road. Although the District will not be acquiring the
right-of-way for McMillan Road from this parcel, the applicant will be responsible for the
construction of a 5-foot concrete sidewalk, as required by District policy. The applicant should
construct the sidewalk to be located on the north side of the canal (between the canal and
Lots 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 of Block 2 and Lots 3, 4 and 5 of Block 1). By constructing the sidewalk
on the north side of the canal, pedestrians will have a detached walkway on McMillan Road
I (once a continuous sidewalk has been constructed) and the roadway improvements can be
constructed within the existing right-of-way and the right-of-way that is acquired from the
properties to the south. The applicant should provide the District with an easement for the
sidewalk due to the fact that the sidewalk will extend outside of the public right-of-way.
Locust Grove Road
District policy requires 96-feet of right-of-way on arterial roadways (Figure 72-F1 B). This right-of-way
allows for the construction of a 5-lane roadway with curb, gutter, 5-foot concrete detached sidewalks
and bike lanes.
District policy requires 7-foot wide attached (or 5-foot detached) concrete sidewalk on all collector
roadways and arterial roadways (7204.7.2).
Typically, the District requires developments abutting arterial roadways to dedicate 48-feet of
right-of-way from the centerline of the roadway and construct a 5-foot detached concrete
sidewalk located a minimum of 41-feet from centerline. As a result of the North Meridian
Traffic Study, the District examined the need for each of the arterial roadways located within
the North Meridian Area. As a result of that analysis, the District determined that Locust
Grove Road would only need to be constructed as a 3-lane roadway with vertical curb, gutter,
sidewalk and bike lanes within 70-feet of right-of-way. In order to be consistent with the
findings of the North. Meridian Study and the analysis, the applicant should provide right-of-
way and improvements consistent with a 3-lane arterial. Locust Grove Road is not listed as a
proposed project in the District's currently adopted Five-Year Work Program or in the currently
adopted 20-year Capital Improvements Plan. As such, the applicant cannot receive
reimbursement for dedicated right-of-way from available collected impact fees. The applicant
shall do one of the following:
a. Dedicate by donation an additional 1 O-feet of right-of-way along Locust Grove Road,
and construct a minimum 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk along Locust Grove Road,
located a minimum of 28 feet from the centerline of the right-of-way.
4
b. Do not dedicate additional right-of-way, but construct a minimum 5-foot wide
concrete sidewalk along Locust Grove Road, located a minimum of 28 feet from the
centerline of the right-of-way, in an easement provided to the District.
c. Do not dedicate additional right-of-way, but construct a minimum 5,-foot wide
concrete sidewalk along Locust Grove Road, located at the back edge of the existing
right-of-way. Accomplish all necessary adjustments to properly accommodate existing
drainage and utilities.
2.
Roadway Offsets
Main Entrances
District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 300-feet from an
arterial roadway (measured centerline to centerline).
The applicant is proposing to construct North Timberline Avenue to intersect East McMillan
Road approximately 320-feet east of the west property line (or 825-feet west of Locust Grove
Road). This roadway location meets District policy and should be approved with this
application.
The applicant is proposing to construct East Cedar Hills Street to intersect Locust Grove Road
approximately 400-feet south of the north property line (or approximately 470-feet south of the
main entrance to Vienna Woods Subdivision). This roadway location meets District policy and
should be approved with this application.
Local Streets
District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 125-feet from
another local roadway (measured centerline to centerline).
. All of the internal roadways meet or exceed the minimum offsets that are required by District
policy.
3.
Street Sections
District policy 72-F1A, allows local residential public roads with a 33-foot street section with parking
on both sides of the roadway, if the amount of vehicle trips per day on the street does not exceed
1,000 and the appropriate fire department reviews and approves the street section. The proposed
density of development that will utilize the internal local residential streets is anticipated to generate
less than 1,000 vehicle trips per day.
District policy 7204.4.2 states, "developments with any buildable lot that is less that 1-acre in size will
typically provide streets having a minimum pavement width of 32-feet with curb, gutter and sidewalks.
The total street width shall be 36-feet from back-of-curb to back-of-curb. Variations of this width may
be allowed, depending on traffic volumes forecast to be generated by the development. Concrete
sidewalks shall be a minimum of 5-feet in width unless they are separated from the curb 5-feet or
more in which case the sidewalk shall be a minimum of 4-feet in width.
The applicant is proposing to construct North Timberline Avenue (from McMillan Road to East
Bear Springs Drive), East Bear Springs Drive (from North Timberline Avenue to North
Mountain Crest Avenue), North Mountain Crest Avenue, East Cedar Hills Street, East Back
Country Street (from North Mountain Crest Avenue to North Snow Basin Avenue) and North
Snow Basin Road as 36-foot street sections with rolled curb, gutter and 5-foot attached
concrete sidewalks within 50-feet of right-of-way. This street section meets District policy and
should be approved with this application.
The applicant is proposing to construct the remaining streets within the subdivision as 34-foot
street sections with rolled curb, gutter and 5-foot attached concrete sidewalks within 50-feet
5
right-of-way. This street section meets District policy and should be approved with this
application.
4.
Stub Streets
District policy 7203.5.1 states that the street design in a proposed development shall cause no undue
hardship to adjoining property. An adequate and convenient access to adjoining property for use in
future development may be required. If a street ends at the development boundary, it shall meet the
requirements of sub section 7205, "non-continuous streets."
District policy 7205.5 states that stub streets will be required to provide intra-neighborhood circulation
or to provide access to adjoining properties. Stub streets will conform with the requirements
described in Section 7204.5, 7204.6 and 7204.7, 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, a stub
street must meet the following conditions:
1. A stub street shall be designed to slope towards the street intersection and drain surface
water toward that intersection, unless a satisfactory storm drain system is installed.
2.
The District may require appropriate covenants guaranteeing that the stub street will
remain free of obstructions.
The applicant is proposing to construct North Snow Basin Avenue as a stub street to the north
property line approximately 225-feet east of the west property line. This parcel will serve the
I 5.6-acre site to the north. Staff is supportive of the applicant's proposal to construct this stub
street. Due to the fact that this stub street is proposed to be less than 150-feet in depth, the
applicant will not be required to construct a temporary turnaround at the terminus of the stub
street.
The applicant is not proposing to construct a stub street to the west due to the fact that
Larkwood Subdivision is already built out at this time. Staff is supportive of the applicant's
decision to not construct a stub street to the west property line.
. The applicant is not proposing to construct a stub street to the 2.81 O-acre and 1.630-acre out
parcels that are located in the southeast corner of the site. The out parcel located directly
adjacent to the subject property is 2.81 O-acres and has approximately 200-feet of frontage on
McMillan Road and approximately 120-feet of frontage on Locust Grove. Due to the fact that
the site has a very limited amount of frontage, the District limits access to arterial roadways
and the District would like to provide connectivity within this area, staff is requiring that the
applicant extend East Deer Valley Street to the east property line asa stub street that will
serve the 2.810-acre site in the future. Due to the fact that the stub street will be less than
150-feet in depth, the applicant will not be required to construct a temporary turnaround at the
terminus of the stub street.
5.
Knuckles
District policy District policy 7202.7 and 7207.5 and the local Fire District standards require an island
within a knuckle to be constructed with the island being a minimum of 4-feet wide with a minimum
area of 100-square feet and designed to safely channel traffic. The roadway around the traffic island
should maintain a minimum of a 29-foot street section. The design should be reviewed and approved
by ACHD's Development staff.
The applicant is proposing to construct six knuckles within the subdivision. The applicant is
proposing to construct one of the knuckles with an island within it. Staff is supportive of the
location of the proposed knuckles. The applicant should construct the island within the
knuckle a minimum of 4-feet wide with a minimum area of 1 OO-square feet and designed to
