3. Adjacent Development: The following developments are pending or underway in the vicinity of
the site:
Fairbourne Subdivision, a residential subdivision consisting of 176 -buildable lots, is located at
the northwest corner of the Chinden Boulevard and Black Cat Road intersection and was
approved by ACHD in July 2018.
An industrial business park located directly west of this site was approved by ACHD in
December 2015. Phase one consisting of a 26,000 square foot building has been completed,
with phase two yet to be developed.
4. Transit: Transit services are not available to serve this site.
5. New Center Lane Miles: The proposed development includes 1.36 centerline miles of new public
road.
6. 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. The impact fee assessment will not be released until the civil plans are approved by ACHD.
7. Capital Improvements Plan (CIP)/ Integrated Five Year Work Plan (IFYWP):
Black Cat Road is listed in the CIP to be widened to 3 -lanes from McMillan Road to Chinden
Boulevard between 2026 and 2030.
The intersection of Black Cat Road and Chinden Boulevard/US 20/26 is listed in the CIP to
be widened to 5 -lanes on the north leg, 5 -lanes on the south, 6 -lanes east, and 6 -lanes on the
west leg, and signalized between 2026 and 2030.
The intersection of Star Road and Chinden Boulevard/US 20/26 is listed in the CIP to be
widened to 5 -lanes on the north leg, 6 -lanes on the south, 6 -lanes east, and 5 -lanes on the
west leg, and signalized between 2026 and 2030.
B. Traffic Findings for Consideration
Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate 10,372 vehicle trips per day; 962
vehicle trips per hour in the PM peak hour, based on the traffic impact study.
2. Traffic Impact Study
Kittelson & Associates prepared a traffic impact study for the proposed Pollard Subdivision. An
executive summary of the findings as presented by Kittelson & Associates can be found below.
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.
a. Executive Summary: Under existing conditions all study area intersections are anticipated to
operate at an acceptable level of service planning threshold with the exception of the following:
US 20/26 & SH -1 6 - southbound right turn movement operates at LOS F during the

b. Policy:
Alternative Mitigation Measures: 7106.7.3 states that if traditional mitigation measures
such as roadway widening and intersection improvements are infeasible as determined by
ACHID, the TIS may recommend alternative mitigation measures. Alternative mitigation
measures shall demonstrate that impacts from the project will be offset.
If the impacted roadway segments and/or intersections are programmed as funded in
the Integrated Five Year Work Plan (IFYWP) or the Capital Improvements Plan (CIP);
no alternative mitigation is required.
If the impacted roadway segments and/or intersections are not programmed in either
the IFYWP or the CIP; the applicant may (i) analyze the shoulder hour and (ii) provide
a safety analysis to determine alternative mitigation requirements.
o If the impacted roadway segments and intersections meet the minimum
acceptable level of service planning thresholds in the shoulder hour
the applicant may suggest feasible alternative mitigation such as: sidewalks,
bike facilities, connectivity, safety improvements, etc. within 1.5 miles of the
proposed development.
o If the shoulder hour planning thresholds are exceeded the applicant may
request to enter into a Development Agreement and pay into the Priority
Corridor Fund an amount determined by the ACHD to offset impacts from the
project.
* Alternative Mitigation may also include:
5 DRAFT Pollard Subdivision / MPP19-0005 / H-
2019-0021
o Revision to the Phasing Plan to coincide with the District's future Capital
Projects.
o Reducing the scope and/or scale of the project
Level of Service Planning Thresholds: District Policy 7205.3.1 states that, Level of Service
Planning Thresholds have been established for principal arterials and minor arterials within
ACHD's Capital Improvement Plan and are also listed in section 7106. Unless otherwise
required to provide a Traffic Impact Study under section 7106, a proposed development with
site traffic less than 10% of the existing downstream roadway or intersection peak hour traffic
shall not be required to provide mitigation for a roadway or intersection that currently exceeds
the minimum acceptable level of service planning threshold or V/C ratio.
c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The Star Road/US 20-26 intersection is listed as a
funded project in ACHD's CIP. Therefore, consistent with District policy 7106.7.3 Alternative
Mitigation Measures, which states, if an impacted roadway segment or intersection are
programmed as funded in the IFYWP, or the CIP; no mitigation is required; no improvements
are required by ACHD at the Star Road/US 20/26 intersection.
Consistent with the findings and recommendations of the traffic impact study, the applicant
should be required to install a signal at the Levi Avenue/US 20-26 intersection with Phase 1 of
the development when 206 PM peak hour trips are generated. Staff recommends that the
intersection be designed and constructed in coordination with the US 20/26 improvements being
construct as part of the Costco STAR agreement and providing dual left turn lanes on the
southbound approach that are warranted at the buildout of the development. The intersection
should provide the following lane configuration as recommended in the study and required by
ITD in their traffic impact study approval letter (attachment 3).
The applicant should be required to enter into a signal agreement with ACHD for the
installation of the new signal. The signal agreement should include requirements that the
intersection be designed as a 5X6 intersection with five 1 2 -foot wide travel lanes on the
southbound and eastbound approaches and six 12 -foot wide travel lanes on the westbound
approach in the roadway: (ACHD is still working on the lane configuration for the northbound
approach) X- lanes on the northbound approach, dual left turn lanes on the southbound
approach, and the lane configurations required by ITD on the eastbound and westbound
approaches. The applicant is responsible for all costs associated with the hardware, design,
and installation of the signal, and the improvements are not eligible for reimbursement by
ACHD.
In order to ensure the Levi Avenue/US 20/26 intersection will be improved when warranted,
the following items must be in place prior to plans acceptance for the final plat which
necessitates the improvement based on the findings of the updated traffic impact study:
• Signal Agreement
• Full design and approved plans for the intersection
Staff recommends that emergency vehicle preemption be installed at US 20-26/Levi Avenue
intersection. At a minimum, it should be activated for the eastbound approach for utilization by
an ambulance attempting to turn left to access the hospital in an emergency.

Average daily traffic counts are based on A CHD's most current traffic counts.
• The average daily traffic count for Chinden Boulevard west of Black Cat Road was 19,156
on February 7, 2018.
• The average daily traffic count for Levi Avenue north of Chinden Boulevard was 148 on
12/18/18.
C. Findings for Consideration
1 State Highway 20/26 (Chinden Boulevard)
Chinden Boulevard is under the jurisdiction of the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD). The
applicant, City of Meridian, and ITD should work together to determine if additional right-of-way or
improvements are necessary on Chinden Boulevard.
2. Levi Avenue/Pollard Lane Relocation & Right -of -Way Exchange
a. Existing Conditions/Site History: As part of ITD's SH -16 extension project a series of local
access roads and rights-of-way were constructed or established by ITD. Specific to this site,
ITD obtained right-of-way for Levi Avenue, a north -south and east -west road connecting to
Pollard Lane. With the SH -16 extension, ITD eliminated the Pollard Lane approach on to US
20/26 due to the proximity to the SH -16 intersection. The new intersection of Pollard Lane (Levi
Lane) is adequately spaced from SH -1 6 to allow for signalization which will improve access for
all users in that area.
ITID purchased property from this property owner, and compensated the owner for construction
of the roadways, with the intent that ITD would convey the property to ACHD as right-of-way
when the roads were completed. Prior to constructing the roads, the applicant requested to
relocate the right-of-way and construct the road south of the original alignment. Prior to ACHD's
acceptance of the SH -16 local roads, ACHD required ITID to confirm the proposed right-of-way
dedication was the new alignment where the road had been constructed. Subsequently, it has
been determined that the right-of-way dedicated to ACHD by ITD is the original alignment, north
of the constructed roadway.
Levi Avenue and Pollard Lane (east -west) within the site are improved with 25 -feet of pavement
and no other improvements; and located outside of the deeded right-of-way.

b. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing relocate Levi Avenue and Pollard Lane, to
extend Levi Avenue to the north, and to relocate Pollard Lane to the north, north of the existing
right-of-way. The applicant is proposing to vacate/exchange the existing right-of-way for the
right-of-way which they will dedicate for the relocated rodway. With the relocation to the north,
Pollard Lane will be renamed "Waverton Drive". This would move the east/west roadway
Waverton Drive 965 -feet north of Chinden Boulevard, 530 -feet north of the existing roadway,
and 270 -feet north of the existing right-of-way (measured centerline -to -centerline).
The applicant notes that relocating Pollard Lane to the north provides for site efficiency in
building layout, as well as the most functional public street, and private driveway system. They
8 DRAFT Pollard Subdivision / MPP19-0005 / H-
2019-0021
also note that relocating the road reduces potential traffic queuing conflicts with the new signal
that is proposed at Chinden Boulevard.
c. Staff Comments/Recommendations:
The adjacent property owner, Franklin Sensor, is not supportive of the applicant's proposal to
relocate the east/west roadway to the north (more information to be provided later). However,
the applicant believes that although it will take longer to travel to the Franklin Sensor site, access
will be improved by the ability to travel on fully improved urban roadways (36 -feet wide proposed
vs. 25 -feet wide existing) and having access to a signalized intersection on Chinden Boulevard
will improve the access, and provide safer access than exists today. With the applicant's
proposal, the trip length to Franklin Sensor (via public streets), from Chinden Boulevard will
increase by approximately 760 -feet.
ACHD does not have a policy to support or prohibit the applicant's proposal to relocate the
Pollard Lane extension roadway to the north. The applicant's proposal will correct the right-of-
way issues associated with the existing roadway not being constructed within the right-of-way,
as the right-of-way will be vacated/exchanged, and the roadway will be removed and replaced
with Waverton Driver. Signalized access to the area will provide safer access to Chinden
Boulevard.
If the Commission approves the relocation of the roadway, then the applicant should be required
to vacate/exchange the existing right-of-way for the Pollard Lane extension for new right-of-way
to be dedicated within the site. This is a separate application process and will have a separate
series of public hearings in accordance with state code. The vacation/exchange should be
completed prior to plan approval for any development on the west side of Levi Avenue.
3. Levi Avenue
a. 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 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 sidewalk at least 5 -feet wide to
be constructed on both sides of all collector streets. A parkway strip at least 6 -feet wide between
9 DRAFT Pollard Subdivision / MPP19-0005 / H-
2019-0021
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, 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 new collector roadway should align with
Levi Avenue on the south side of Chinden Boulevard across from the site and extend north
intersecting an east/west collector. The Residential Collector typology as depicted in the Livable
Street Design Guide recommends a 2 -lane roadway with bike lanes, a 36 -foot street section
within 54 -feet of right-of-way.
b. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct Levi Avenue as a 5 -lane collector
roadway, a 72 -foot street section, vertical curb, gutter, 8 -foot wide planter strip and 5 -foot wide
detached concrete sidewalks within 99 -feet of right-of-way.
c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant' s proposal to construct a north -south
collector is consistent with the MSM which identifies this roadway as a 2 -lane collector.The
traffic impact study notes that a 5 -lane roadway is needed to accommodate the site generated
traffic and provides for turn lanes at the Levi Avenue/Chinden Boulevard/ US 20-26 intersection.
Therefore, the applicant's proposal to construct a 5 -lane collector should be approved, as
proposed. The applicant should be required to dedicate right-of-way to extend 2 -feet behind
the sidewalk or reduce the right-of-way width to 2 -feet behind the back of curb and provide a
permanent right-of-way easement for detached sidewalk located outside the dedicated right-of-
way.
4. Levi Avenue/Chinden Boulevard/US 20-26 Intersection
Consistent with the findings and recommendations of the traffic impact study, the applicant should
be required to install a signal at the Levi Avenue/Chinden Boulevard/US 20-26 intersection with
Phase 1 of the development when 206 PM peak hour trips are generated. Staff recommends that
the intersection be designed and constructed in coordination with the US 20/26 improvements being
construct as part of the Costco STAR agreement providing dual left turn lanes on the southbound
approach that are warranted with the buildout of the development. The intersection should provide
the following lane configuration as recommended in the study and required by ITD in their traffic
impact study approval letter (attachment 3).
The applicant should be required to enter into a signal agreement with ACHD for the installation of
the new signal. The signal agreement should include requirements that the intersection be
designed as a 5X6 intersection with(ACHD is still working on the lane configuration for the
northbound approach) X -lanes northbound, five12-foot wide travel lanes on the southbound and
eastbound approaches and six 12 -foot wide travel lanes on the westbound approach in the
roadway: dual left turn lanes on the southbound approach, and the lane configurations required by
lTD on the eastbound and westbound approaches. The applicant is responsible for all costs
associated with the hardware, design, and installation of the signal, and that improvements are not
eligible for reimbursement by ACHD.

In order to ensure the Levi Avenue/US 20/26 intersection will be improved when warranted, the
following items must be in place prior to plans acceptance for the final plat which necessitates the
improvement based on the findings of the updated traffic impact study:
• Signal Agreement
• Full design and approved plans for the intersection
Staff recommends that emergency vehicle preemption be installed at US 20-26/Levi Avenue
intersection. At a minimum, it should be activated for the eastbound approach for utilization by an
ambulance attempting to turn left to access the hospital in an emergency.

with the street typology of Residential Collector. The new collector roadway should align with
Waverton Drive on the east side of of the site and continue through the site intersecting Levi
Avenue. The Residential Collector typology as depicted in the Livable Street Design Guide
recommends a 2 -lane roadway with bike lanes, a 36 -foot street section within 54 -feet of right-
of-way.
b. Applicant Proposal: The applicant has proposed to extend Waverton Drive into the site from
the eastern property line to the west intersecting Levi Avenue as a 36 -foot wide collector street
section with vertical curb, gutter, an 8 -foot wide planter strip and 5 -foot wide detached concrete
sidewalks within 63 -feet of right-of-way. Waverton Drive west of Levi Avenue is proposed as a
commercial street.
c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal to extend Waverton Drive into
the site meets District policy and should be approved, as proposed. The applicant should be
required to dedicate right-of-way to extend 2 -feet behind the sidewalk or reduce the right-of-
way width to 2 -feet behind the back of curb and provide a permanent right-of-way easement for
detached sidewalk located outside the dedicated right-of-way.

typically be constructed within 47 -feet of right-of-way.
12 DRAFT Pollard Subdivision / MPP19-0005 / H-
2019-0021
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.
Landscape Medians Policy: District policy 7207.5.16 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.
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
13 DRAFT Pollard Subdivision / MPP19-0005 / H-
2019-0021
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, 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.
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.
b. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct the entry portion of
Schwenkfelder Avenue and Restucci Avenue as 52 -foot street sections, with two 21 -foot wide
travel lanes, a 10 -foot wide center landscape island, 8 -foot planter strips and 5 -foot wide
detached concrete sidewalks within 79 -feet of right-of-way.
The applicant is proposing to construct Schwenkfelder Avenue and Restucci Avenue north of
Tree Crest Street as 33 -foot street sections, 8 -foot planter strips and 5 -foot wide detached
concrete sidewalks. These segments are proposed as private stub streets to Old School Lane,
an existing private road north of the site.
The applicant is proposing to construct Tree Crest Street as a 33 -foot street section, with 8 -foot
planter strips and 5 -foot wide detached concrete sidewalks within 60 -feet of right-of-way. A cul-
de-sac with a 27 -foot radius is proposed at the western terminus of Tree Crest Street (west of
Restucci Avenue) with an emergency access provided to Pollard Lane. Tree Crest Street west
of Schwenkfelder Avenue terminates into Lot 24 Block 1, serving as access to the parcel.
c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal to construct the entry portion
of Schwenkfelder Avenue and Restucci Avenue with two 21 -foot wide travel lanes, a 1 0 -foot
wide center landscape island, 8 -foot planter strips and 5 -foot wide concrete sidewalk meets
District policy and should be approved, as proposed. The applicant should be required to
dedicate additional right-of-way to extend 2 -feet behind the back of sidewalk or reduce the right-
of-way width to 2 -feet behind the back of curb and provide a permanent right-of-way easement
for detached sidewalk located outside the dedicated right-of-way. The center landscape islands
should be platted as right-of-way owned by ACHD, a license agreement should be provided for
any landscaping within the islands.
Both Schwenkfelder Avenue and Restucci Avenue north of Tree Crest Street should be
constructed as public roads stubbing to the northern property line. They should be constructed
as 33 -foot street sections, 8 -foot planter strips and 5 -foot wide detached concrete sidewalks
within 61 -feet of right-of-way. The applicant may reduce the right-of-way width to 2 -feet behind
the back of curb and provide a permanent right-of-way easement for detached sidewalk located
outside the dedicated right-of-way. A sign shall be installed at the terminus of the both stub
streets stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE." A temporary
turnaround is not required, as each of the stub streets is less than 150 -feet in length.
As proposed the Schwenkfelder Avenue stub street splits a property line. The applicant should
be required to shift Schwenkfelder Avenue the east to ensure the roadway is located wholly
14 DRAFT Pollard Subdivision / MPP19-0005 / H-
2019-0021
adjacent to 5500 W. Old School Lane and not split on a property line, which is problematic for
future extension of the roadway.
The applicant's proposal to construct Tree Crest Street as a 33 -foot street section, with 8 -foot
planter strips and 5 -foot detached wide concrete sidewalks meets District policy and should be
approved, as proposed. The right-of-way should extend to 2 -feet behind the back of the
sidewalk or reduce the right-of-way width to 2 -feet behind the back of curb and provide a
permanent right-of-way easement for detached sidewalk located outside the dedicated right-of-
way.
Neither of the designs for the terminus (turnarounds) proposals for Tree Crest Street meet
District policy. The applicant should be required to extend the western end of Tree Crest Street
to intersect Pollard Lane or terminate both ends of Tree Crest Street with standard cul-de-sac
turnarounds with a minimum 45 -foot radius.
Tree Crest Street does not provide a 150 -foot tangent approaching the intersection with
Waverton Drive as required by policy. However, the necessary sight lines approaching the
intersection are maintained; the driveway configuration should be approved as proposed.
7. Commercial Roadways — Narbeth Drive & Waverton Drive (w/o Levi Avenue)
a. Policy:
Commercial Roadway Policy: District Policy 7208.2.1 states that the developer is responsible
for improving all commercial 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 7208.5 states that right-of-way widths
for new commercial streets shall typically be 50 and 70 -feet wide and that the standard street
section will vary depending on the need for a center turn lane, bike lanes, volumes, percentage
of truck traffic, and/or on -street parking.
• A 36 -foot street section (back -of -curb to back -of -curb) will typically accommodate two
travel lanes and on -street parking.
• A 40 -foot street section (back -of -curb to back -of -curb) will typically accommodate two
travel lanes and a center turn lane.
A 46 -foot street section (back -of -curb to back -of -curb) will typically accommodate two
travel lanes and a center turn lane and bike lanes.
Sidewalk Policy: District Policy 7208.5.6 requires a concrete sidewalk at least 5 -feet wide to
be constructed on both sides of all commercial streets. If a separated sidewalk is proposed, 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.
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 7208.5.15 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.
15 DRAFT Pollard Subdivision / MPP19-0005 / H-
2019-0021
• 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.
b. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct Narbeth Drive as a 46 -foot
commercial section with vertical curb, gutter, 8 -foot wide planter strips and 5 -foot wide detached
concrete sidewalk within 73 -feet of right-of-way.
The applicant is proposing to construct Waverton Drive west of Levi Avenue as a 36 -foot
collector roadway with vertical curb, gutter, 8 -foot wide planter strips and 5 -foot wide detached
concrete sidewalk within 63 -feet of right-of-way.
c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal to construct Narbeth Drive as
a 46 -foot commercial street section, meets District policy, however, the traffic impact study did
not provide any supporting information to demonstrate the need for a 3 lane roadway and traffic
volumes are anticipated to be less than 2,000 trips per day. Because of this staff recommends
that Narbeth Drive be constructed as a 36 -foot wide commercial street section with vertical curb,
gutter, 8 -foot wide planter strips and 5 -foot wide detached concrete sidewalks.
The applicant is proposing to construct Waverton Drive west of Levi Avenue as a 36 -foot
collector roadway. The Master Street Map does not call for a collector in this location and the
estimated traffic volumes are not estimated to exceed the 2,000 daily vehicle trips allowed on a
commercial street. The applicant should be required to construct Waverton Drive west of Levi
Avenue as a 36 -foot wide commercial street section with vertical curb, gutter, 8 -foot wide planter
strips and 5 -foot wide detached concrete sidewalks.
The applicant should be required to extend the right-of-way to 2 -feet behind the back of the
sidewalk or reduce the right-of-way width to 2 -feet behind the back of curb and provide a
permanent right-of-way easement for detached sidewalk located outside the dedicated right-of-
way.
8. Industrial Roadway — Pollard Lane (north/south)
a. Existing Conditions: Pollard Lane west of the site is improved with 25 -feet of pavement and
no curb, gutter or sidewalk abutting the site. There is 50 -feet of right-of-way for Pollard Lane
(25 -feet from centerline).
b. Policy:
Industrial Roadway Policy: District Policy 7209.2.1 states that the developer is responsible
for improving all industrial 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 7209.5 states that right-of-way widths
for new industrial roadways shall be 50 -feet wide and that the standard street section will vary
depending on the need for a center turn lane, bike lanes, volumes, percentage of truck traffic,
and/or on -street parking.
A 40 -foot street section (back -of -curb to back -of -curb) will typically accommodate two
travel lanes and a center turn lane.
16 DRAFT Pollard Subdivision / MPP19-0005 / H-
2019-0021
Sidewalk Policy: District Policy 7209.5.6 requires concrete sidewalks at least 5 -feet wide to be
constructed on one side of all industrial streets. If a separated sidewalk is proposed, 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.
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.
Half Street Policy: District Policy 7209.2.2 required improvements shall consist of pavement
widening to one-half the required width, including curb, gutter and concrete sidewalk (minimum
5 -feet), plus 12 -feet of additional pavement widening beyond the centerline established for the
street to provide an adequate roadway surface, with the pavement crowned at the ultimate
centerline. A 3 -foot wide gravel shoulder and a borrow ditch sized to accommodate the roadway
storm runoff shall be constructed on the unimproved side.
Cul-de-sac Streets Policy: District policy 7209.5.7 requires cul-de-sacs on industrial streets
to be constructed to provide a minimum turning radius of 55 -feet.
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 hasn't proposed any improvements to Pollard Lane
abutting the site.
d. Staff Comments / Recommendations:
Consistent with ACHD's Half Street Policy,
the applicant should be required to improve
Pollard Lane as 1/2 of a 40 -foot industrial
street section with vertical curb, gutter and
a minimum of 5 -foot wide concrete
sidewalk abutting the site. Right-of-way for
the improvements should extend 2 -feet
behind the back edge of sidewalk.
Improvements should not be constructed
along Pollard Lane south of the previously
approved industrial driveway to Franklin
Sensor (shown in blue). The industrial
development was required to vacate the
unimproved right-of-way south of the cul-
de-sac prior to phase 2 of their project.
The applicant should be required to
construct a cul-de-sac at the terminus of
Pollard Lane with a minimum of 55 -foot
back -of -curb radius.
9. Roadway Offsets
a. Policy:
Local Offset Policy: District policy 7206.4.5, requires local roadways to align or offset a
minimum of 330 -feet from a collector roadway (measured centerline to centerline).
17 DRAFT Pollard Subdivision / MPP19-0005 / H-
2019-0021
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).
b. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct Levi Avenue to intersect
Waverton Drive, located approximately 965 -feet north of Chinden Boulevard.
The applicant is proposing to construct Narbeth Drive to intersect Levi Avenue, located
approximately, 620 -feet north of Chinden Boulevard.
The applicant is proposing to construct Schwenkfelder Avenue to intersect Waverton Drive,
located approximately, 255 -feet east of Levi Avenue.
All measurements are centerline to centerline.
c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal to construct Levi Avenue to
intersect Waverton Drive, meets District policy and should be as approved.
The applicant's proposal to construct Narbath Drive to intersect Levi Avenue 620 -feet north of
Chinden Boulevard meets District policy and should be approved as proposed.
The applicant's proposal to construct Schwenkfelder Avenue to intersect Waverton Drive 255 -
feet east of Levi Avenue does not meet District offset policy for a local street intersecting a
collector roadway. The applicant should be required to redesign the site to shift Schwenkfelder
Avenue to the east, providing a minimum 330 -foot offset from Levi Avenue (measured
centerline -to -centerline).
All proposed local street offsets meet District policy and should be approved as proposed.
10. Driveways
10.1 Levi Avenue
a. 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 7206.4.3 requires driveways located on collector
roadways near a signalized intersection to be located outside the area of influence; OR 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. 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.
18 DRAFT Pollard Subdivision / MPP19-0005 / H-
2019-0021
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.
b. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct 3 driveways on Levi Avenue.
The driveways are proposed to be located as follows:
• Two 30 -foot wide full access driveways aligned centerline to centerline on the east and
west sides of Levi avenue located approximately 450 -feet north of Chinden Boulevard.
• One 50 -foot wide full access driveway located approximately 620 -feet north of Chinden
Boulevard, aligned with Narbeth Drive.
c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal does not meet District
Successive Driveway Policies, which required driveways on collector roadways to align or offset
by 245 -feet. The driveways are proposed to offset by 195 -feet. The traffic impact study did not
apply the successive driveway policy in the analysis of the driveway locations. Given the
anticipated high volume of left turning vehicles from Levi Avenue onto US 20/26 Chinden and
without the appropriate driveway analysis staff recommend that the driveway on the east side
of Levi Lane located 450 -feet be restricted to right-in/right-out only. Restrict the driveway to
right-in/right-out only with the installation of a 6" raised median. The median should begin at
US 20/26 and extend north 75 -feet beyond the driveway.
As an alternative to restricting the southern driveway on the east side of Levi Avenue to right-
in/right-out, the applicant may relocated the northern driveway on the west side of Levi Avenue
to be 245 -feet north of the southern driveways; consistent with ACHD's Successive Driveway
policy, or provide an updated driveway analysis which analyzes the left turn pocket between the
proposed driveways and provides supporting information to support a modification of policy,
prior to ACHD's action on the preliminary plat application. If the applicant chooses to pursue a
modification of policy a $150.00 fee and formal letter making the request and supporting
information should be provided to staff prior to scheduling the ACHD Commission meeting for
the preliminary plat application.
The driveways should be constructed as curb return type driveways.
10.2 Waverton Drive (Collector Section e/o Levi Avenue)
a. 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.
19 DRAFT Pollard Subdivision / MPP19-0005 / H-
2019-0021
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.
b. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct two 30 -foot wide full access
driveways on Waverton Drive, one located 460 -feet west of Levi Avenue the other located 195 -
feet east of Narbeth Drive.
c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal does not meet District
Successive Driveway Policy as the driveway does not offset Schwenkfelder Avenue by a
minimum of 150 -feet. The applicant should be required to relocate the driveway to align or offset
Schwenkfelder Avenue by a minimum of 150 -feet.
The proposed driveway location 195 -feet east of Narbeth Drive meets District policy and should
be approved as proposed.
10.3 Restucci Avenue
a. Policy:
Driveway Location Policy: District policy 7207.4.1 requires driveways near intersections to be
located a minimum of 75 -feet (measured centerline -to -centerline) from the nearest local street
intersection, and 150 -feet from the nearest collector or arterial street intersection.
Successive Driveways: District Policy 7207.4.1 states that successive driveways away from an
intersection shall have no minimum spacing requirements for access points along a local street,
but the District does encourage shared access points where appropriate.
Driveway Width Policy: District policy 7207.4.3 states that where vertical curbs are required,
residential driveways shall be restricted to a maximum width of 20 -feet and may be constructed
as curb -cut type driveways.
Driveway Paving Policy: Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance
problems due to gravel being tracked onto the roadway. In accordance with District policy,
7207.4.3, 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.
b. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct a 30 -foot wide driveway on
Restucci Avenue aligned with Tree Crest Court.
c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District policy and should
be approved as proposed.
10.4 Narbeth Drive & Waverton Drive (Commercial Section w/o Levi Avenue)
a. Policy:
Driveway Location Policy: District policy 7208.4.1 requires driveways near intersections to be
located a minimum of 75 -feet (measured centerline -to -centerline) from the nearest local street
intersection, and 150 -feet from the nearest collector/arterial or arterial street intersection.

distance is provided (typically not
allowed between 3 and 14 -feet tall).
12. Traffic Calming I I . //Z /Z// I
a. Speed Control and Traffic Calming Policy: District policy 7208.3.7 states that the design of
commercial street systems should discourage excessive speeds by using passive design
elements. If the design or layout of a development is anticipated to necessitate future traffic
calming implementation by the District, then the District will require changes to the layout
and/or the addition of passive design elements such as horizontal curves, bulb -outs, chokers,
etc. The District will also consider texture changes to the roadway surface (i.e. stamped
concrete) as a passive design element. These alternative methods may require a maintenance
and/or license agreement.
b. Applicant's Proposal: Waverton Drive west of Levi Avenue is a 1,325 -foot long commercial
street.
c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant should be required to construct bulb -
outs on Waverton Drive at the intersection with Restucci Avenue and the proposed driveway.

RE: Central Valley Mixed Use Development — ITD Traffic impact Study Acceptance Letter
Dear Mr. Korporaal,
The Idaho Transportation Department JITD) has reviewed the Central Valley Mixed Use Development Traffic Impact
Study (TIS) dated January 2019 along with your response to ITD's comments dated March 11, 2019. The development
is located north of US 20/26 at Levi Lane. The development will be utilizing the existing public road intersections at Levi
Lane and Black Cat Road.
Due to the increase in trips generated by the development, the following mitigation improvements need to be installed
on US 20/26.
Intersection of US 20/26 and LeVi Lane
[Prior to occupancy]
a Install a westbound right turn lane designed to ITD's standards.
* Dedicate 12ft of right-of-way to ITD for the entire length of the right turn lane.
[Prior to generation of 206 PM Peak Hour tripsJ
Install a traffic signal that meets ACHD's signal design standards and be connected via fiber to the
Traffic Management Center's network. Paved lane configuration shall include the following:
o Two through lanes in the eastbound and westbound directions (To be completed by ITIP Project
US -20/26, SH -16 to Linder (KN 21858) in fall 2020 or spring 2021);
o Dedicated eastbound and westbound left -turn lanes (TWLTL existing);
• Westbound right turn lane;
• Lane configuration on northbound/southbound Levi Lane shall be directed by ACHD's
requirements for Phase I and Phase 2 of the development.

• Three through lanes in the eastbound and westbound directions;
• Eastbound and westbound left -turn lanes;
• Westbound right turn lane;
• Lane configuration on northbound/southbound Levi Lane shall be directed by ACHD's requirements,
The TIS states 206 PM Peak Hour trips are anticipated in 2019. Upon submittal of the traffic signal plans, ITI)
requests a status update of current peak hours trips in order to verify the signal warrant has been met.
EmergencV Preemption at Levi Lane
Based on the sensitivity analysis provided, ITD finds it acceptable to install emergency preemption at the
intersection of Levi Lane and US 20/26. If the eastbound preemption queue is found to cause safety and
mobility concerns with SH -16, ITD reserves the right to require removal of the preemption device at this
intersection.
It is the developer's responsibility to mitigate their impacts to the state highway system including acquiring additional
right-of-wayto construct the necessary safety improvements. Any acquired right-of-way for safety improvements will
need to be dedicated to ITD as part of the permit.
If the developer is accepting of the above described safety improvements, ITD finds the Central Valley Mixed Use
Development TIS to be acceptable. The developer will need to submit an encroachment application (ITD form 2111)
along with a $100 application fee, engineered drawings and a traffic control plan.
Maintaining safety and mobility for Idaho's motorists is of the utmost importance to ITD. ITD reserves the right to
make additional comments on the revised TIS. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at
