Description of Adiacent Surrounding Area: Direction Land Use Zoning North Rural Urban Transition & Estate Residential RUT & R-1 South Rural Urban Transition RUT East Medium Density Residential Fairbourne Subdivision R-8 West Limited Industrial (Franklin Sensors) M1 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 Findinqs 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 -16 - southbound right turn movement operates at LOS F during the PM peak hour. o No mitigation is recommended, as this could be improved through signal timing. 2 Pollard Subdivision/MPP19-0005 US 20/26 & Black Cat Road — northbound lane group at the unsignalized intersection operates at LOS F during the PM peak hour. o No mitigation is recommended — this intersection will be signalized and widened as part of a STAR Agreement for the Meridian Costco. This improvement is anticipated to be completed in 2020. • Under existing conditions all ACHD study roadway segments operate at an acceptable level of service planning threshold. Under Phase 1 2020 background 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 & Star Road — overall the intersection is anticipated to operate at LOS F during the AM peak hour. o Installation of north and southbound right turn lanes is recommended. • US 20/26 & SH -16 - southbound left turn movement operates at LOS F during the AM and PM peak hours. o No mitigation is recommended, as this could be improved through signal timing. • US 20/26 & Black Cat Road — north and southbound lane groups at the unsignalized intersection operates at LOS F during the AM and PM peak hours. o No mitigation is recommended — this intersection will be signalized and widened as part of a STAR Agreement for the Meridian Costco. This improvement is anticipated to be completed in 2020. • All ACHD study roadway segments operate at an acceptable level of service planning threshold. Under Phase 1 2020 total traffic 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 & Star Road — overall the intersection is anticipated to operate at LOS F during the AM and PM peak hours. o Installation of a northbound right turn lane and southbound right turn and an additional southbound through lane lanes is recommended. • US 20/26 & SH -16 - southbound left turn movement operates at LOS F during the AM and PM peak hours. o No mitigation is recommended, as this could be improved through signal timing. 3 Pollard Subdivision/MPP19-0005 • US 20/26 & Levi Avenue — with the addition of site generated trips the north and southbound approaches operate at LOS F during the AM and PM peak hours. o A signal warrant analysis found that an installation of signal is warranted with Phase 1 of the development. In addition to the installation of the signal the following improvements are necessary at the intersection: ■ Widen the approaches to include two through lane on the east and west bound approaches. ■ Southbound left turn lane ■ Westbound right turn lane ■ Emergency preemption • US 20/26 & Black Cat Road — north and southbound lane groups at the unsignalized intersection operates at LOS F during the AM and PM peak hours. o No mitigation is recommended — this intersection will be signalized and widened as part of a STAR Agreement for the Meridian Costco. This improvement is anticipated to be completed in 2020. • All ACHD study roadway segments operate at an acceptable level of service planning threshold. Under Phase 2 (total traffic) 2022 background 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 & Star Road — overall the intersection is anticipated to operate at LOS F during the AM and PM peak hours. o Installation of a northbound right turn lane and southbound right turn and an additional southbound through lane lanes is recommended. • US 20/26 & SH -16 - southbound left turn movement operates at LOS F during the AM and PM peak hours. o No mitigation is recommended, as this could be improved through signal timing. • US 20/26 & Black Cat Road — north and southbound lane groups at the unsignalized intersection operates at LOS F during the AM and PM peak hours. o No mitigation is recommended — this intersection will be signalized and widened as part of a STAR Agreement for the Meridian Costco. This improvement is anticipated to be completed in 2020. • All ACHD study roadway segments operate at an acceptable level of service planning threshold. Under total traffic 2022 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 & Star Road — overall the intersection is anticipated to operate at LOS F during the AM and PM peak hours. 4 Pollard Subdivision/MPP19-0005 o Installation of a northbound right turn lane and southbound right turn and an additional southbound through lane lanes is recommended. Site generated traffic does not contribute to the southbound through or right turn lane groups and accounts for 7.5% of the total traffic entering the intersection during the PM peak hour. • US 20/26 & SH -16 - southbound left turn movement and westbound through movement operates at LOS F during the AM and PM peak hours. o No mitigation is recommended, as this could be improved through signal timing. Additionally, the widening of US 20/26 east of the site in 2020 and west of the site in 2024 (to five lanes) will improve lane utilization of the east and westbound through lanes. • US 20/26 & Levi Avenue — with the addition of site generated trips the north and southbound approaches operate at LOS F during the AM and PM peak hours. o Widening and signal modification to allow for dual southbound left turn lanes. • US 20/26 & Black Cat Road — north and southbound lane groups at the unsignalized intersection operates at LOS F during the AM and PM peak hours. o No mitigation is recommended — this intersection will be signalized and widened as part of a STAR Agreement for the Meridian Costco. This improvement is anticipated to be completed in 2020. All ACHD study roadway segments operate at an acceptable level of service planning threshold. 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 ACHD, 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 5 Pollard Subdivision/MPP19-0005 project. • Alternative Mitigation may also include: 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 5X6X3 intersection with five12-foot wide travel lanes on the southbound and eastbound approaches, six 12 -foot wide travel lanes on the westbound approach in the roadway, and three 12 -foot wide travel 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 ACRD. 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. 6 Pollard Subdivision/MPP19-0005 3.

Average Daily Traffic Count (VDT) Average daily traffic counts are based on ACHD'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 -16 to allow for signalization which will improve access for all users in that area. ITD 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 ITD 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. 7 Pollard Subdivision/MPP19-0005 r------------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I - Existing Flight -of -Way { I I 11 I k Y � p 1 R � v s I m f f I I I I Ir I 1V�P—gyp 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 roadway. 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 Pollard Subdivision/MPP19-0005 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, see attachment 4. 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 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 9 Pollard Subdivision/MPP19-0005 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 5X6X3 intersection with three12-foot wide travel lanes on the northbound approach, 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 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 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: 10 Pollard Subdivision/MPP19-0005 • 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. 5. Waverton Drive 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 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. 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 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 11 Pollard Subdivision/MPP19-0005 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. 6.

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 12 Pollard Subdivision/MPP19-0005 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 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: 13 Pollard Subdivision/MPP19-0005 • 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 10 -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. Schwenkfelder Avenue should be located 285 -feet east of Levi Lane to ensure the stub street does not split a property line. 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 14 Pollard Subdivision/MPP19-0005 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 and to construct a standard cul-de-sac turnaround at the eastern terminus of Tree Crest Street; adjacent to the proposed assisted living facility. The cul-de-sac turnaround should be designed to provide a minimum 45 -foot radius. The applicant may construct a driveway off the cul-de-sac to provide access to the assisted living facility. 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. • 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. 15 Pollard Subdivision/MPP19-0005 • 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. 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. 16 Pollard Subdivision/MPP19-0005 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 '/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). 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. 17 Pollard Subdivision/MPP19-0005 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 which requires an offset of 330 -feet between Schwenkfelder Avenue and Levi Avenue. The applicant has requested a modification of ACHD's Roadway Offset policy to allow the construction of Schwenkfelder Avenue to be closer than 330 -feet to Levi Avenue. To support their request for a modification of policy, the applicant's engineer provided a supplemental analysis which showed that Schwenkfelder Avenue could be relocated an additional 30 -feet east of Levi Avenue, to offset by 285 -feet. The applicant is requesting a 15% modification of policy to keep Schwenkfelder Avenue located 285 -feet east of Levi Lane. The supplemental analysis notes that Schwenkfelder Avenue is anticipated to have an average daily traffic count of less than 600 trips per day, there is an availability of other local access in the area, that left turning queues can be accommodated within the proposed offset, and that moving the roadway further east will push a driveway into the intersection sight distance at the Waverton/Narbeth intersection noted in finding 11 below. Staff has reviewed and agrees with the findings of the supplemental analysis and recommends a modification of policy to allow Schwenkfelder Avenue to offset Levi Lane by 285 -feet. 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. 18 Pollard Subdivision/MPP19-0005 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 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 requires driveways on collector roadways to align or offset by 245 -feet. The driveways are proposed to offset by 195 -feet. Because of this the applicant has requested a 20% modification of ACHD's Successive Driveway policy to allow the driveway to be constructed as full access driveway and be located, as proposed. To support their request for a modification of policy, the applicant's engineer provided a supplemental analysis to demonstrate that the driveways function safely, that there is enough space between the driveways to allow for the appropriate queuing and that the driveways will operate acceptably under total traffic conditions. Staff has reviewed and agrees with the findings of the supplemental analysis and recommends a modification of policy to allow the proposed driveways onto Levi Avenue to be full access and located, as proposed. These driveways may be restricted at any time, as traffic conditions warrant, as determined by ACHD. 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 Pollard Subdivision/MPP19-0005 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 510 -feet west of Levi Avenue the other located 195 - feet east of Narbeth Drive. c.

Applicant's Proposal: The applicant has designed the Waverton Drive/Narbeth Drive/Tree Crest Street intersection within a reverse curve of Waverton Drive. 12. b. Staff Comments/Recommendations: To ensure the adequate sight lines of 280 -feet are provided for vehicles on Narbeth Drive and Tree Crest Street, the applicant should be required to provide an exclusive sight line easement. Objects at low heights, low branching trees and low growing bushes as well as other vegetation should be maintained at a height ensuring that the intersection sight distance is provided (typically not allowed between 3 and 14 -feet tall). Traffic Calming I 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. 13. 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 21 Pollard Subdivision/MPP19-0005 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. 14. 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. 15. Other Access Levi Avenue and Waverton Drive (e/o Levi Avenue) are classified as collector 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. Prior to plan approval for any portion of the development west of Levi Avenue complete the 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. 2. Chinden Boulevard is under the jurisdiction of the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD). Coordinate with the City of Meridian, and ITD to determine if additional right-of-way or improvements are necessary on Chinden Boulevard. 3. Install a signal at the Levi Avenue/US 20-26 intersection with Phase 1 of the development or when 206 PM peak hour trips are generated. Design and construct the signal in coordination with the US 20/26 improvements being construct as part of the Costco STAR agreement.

Box 8028 • Boise, ID 83707-2028 (208) 334-8300 • itd.idaho,gov RE: Central Valley Mixed Use Development — ITD Traffic Impact Study Acceptance Letter Dear Mr. Korporaal, The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) 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] • 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); o Westbound right turn lane; o Lane configuration on northbound/southbound Levi Lane shall be directed by ACHD's requirements for Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the development.

Box 8028 • Boise, ID 83707-2028 ' e, Your Economic Opportunity (208) 334-8300 • itd.idaho.gov The traffic signal poles and signal cabinet equipment shall be located to accommodate the ultimate buildout on US 20/26 to include the following lane configurations: o Three through lanes in the eastbound and westbound directions; o Eastbound and westbound left -turn lanes; o Westbound right turn lane; o 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, ITD requests a status update of current peak hours trips in order to verify the signal warrant has been met. Emergency Preemption at Levi Lane Based on the sensitivity analysis provided, ETD 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 developers responsibility to mitigate their impacts to the state highway system including acquiring additional right-of-way to 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 erika.bowen@itd.idaho.gov or 208-2654312 extension t#7. Sincerely, Erika R. Bowen, P.E.
