The topography of the land adjacem to Eagle Road is not conducive to sidewalk construction. #7. The sidewalk requiremem on Eagle Road needs to be removed. #8. The slope of the embankment will require continual maintenance and it will be extremely hard to construct the sidewalk on the existing slope. #9. Topography. gl0. Topography. gl 1. Denial of the variance will not allow the property to be subdivided. #12. The topography of the land adjacem to Eagle Road is not the fault of the applicant. #13. We do not feel that a special privilege is being granted to us that cannot be conferred to other developers in similar circumstances. #14. We will be able to record a final plat and finish subdividing the property for development. #15.

Eagle Road, Meridian, Idaho Elixir Industries, Applicant Mr. Coonce: The Meridian City Council Case No. PP-01-014 Order of Conditional Approval of Preliminary Plat condition number 11 requires that the Elixir Subdivision "[c]omply with the requirements of ITD for Eagle Road." We respectfully request a coordinated review of the following proposals associated with conditions: 13. 17. Pave the private roadway a minimum of 24-feet wide and at least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of Eagle Road and install pavement tapers with 15-foot radii abutting the existing roadway edge. The applicant shall provide a plan showing how the private road grade meets the public road. District Policy requires a design approach speed of 20 MPH and a maximum intersection approach grade of 2% for at least 40-feet. Construct a 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk on Eagle Road located 2-feet within the right-of-way. Coordinate the location and elevation of the sidewalk with District Staff. Regarding condition 13, the subject roadway, Commercial Lane, was in place prior to the reconstruction of Eagle Road. Commercial Lane was recently reconstructed and improved with a new asphalt section. The intersection of Commercial Lane with Eagle Road was reconstructed as part of the Eagle Road Project, and was constructed with 40-foot edge of pavement radii. The intersection appears to have functioned adequately since the reconstruction, and is not unlike similar roadway intersecting applications along Eagle Road. We respectfully request retaining the existing condition of the Commercial Lane intersection with Eagle Road. We further request that the 3% roadway approach grade of Commercial Land with Eagle Road be maintained as it currently, and formerly, existed. whpacific, com Filcnamc: 833004_2N l.doc planners surveyors engineers landscape architects Regarding condition 17, the finding to construct a 5-foot sidewalk on Eagle Road was a recommendation of Ada County Highway District. The preliminary review of W&H Pacific indicates that a significant amount of earthen fill material will be required to construct a sidewalk at the roadway grade. The construction of sidewalk along Eagle Road will affect the current storm water drainage conveyance system, and may conflict with existing utilities. We request the elimination of the sidewalk requirement and propose sidewalk construction coincide with future ITD roadway and storm drainage improvements. This request aligns with the directive provided to W&H Pacific subsequent to discussion with lTD personnel. We understand that these conditions require interagency coordination between the Idaho Transportation Department and the Ada County Highway District and ask your coordinated effort to review these requests. Your immediate attention to this request will be greatly appreciated. If you have any questions and/or comments, or desire additional substantiation, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Since none of the development as proposed requires work on the State right of way no permit will be required from I.T.D. We have no requirement for sidewalk and would prefer the sidcwaIk (if required by other agencies) to be placed outside of the State right of way. Please call mc at 334-8340 ffyou have any questions.
