Findings for Consideration 1. Overland Road/Movado Way Intersection ACHD has requested a signal warrant analysis for the Overland Road/Movado Way intersection. The signal warrant analysis should be reviewed and accepted prior to issuance of a building permit for the multi-family dwelling units. Based on the findings and recommendations of the signal warrant analysis additional requirements including signalization of the intersection may be required. 2. Overland Road a. Existing Conditions: Overland Road is improved with 5-travel lanes, vertical curb, gutter, and 7-foot wide sidewalk. There is 112-feet of right-of-way for Overland Road (62-feet from centerline). There is a right turn lane on Overland Road at Movado Way. b. Policy: Arterial Roadway Policy: District Policy 7205.2.1 states that the developer is responsible for improving all street frontages adjacent to the site regardless of whether or not access is taken to all of the adjacent streets. Master Street Map and Typology Policy: District Policy 7205.5 states that the design of improvements for arterials shall be in accordance with District standards, including the Master Street Map and Livable Streets Design Guide. The developer or engineer should contact the District before starting any design. Street Section and Right-of-Way Width Policy: District Policies 7205.2.1 & 7205.5.2 state that the standard 7-lane street section shall be 96-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb) within 120- feet of right-of-way. This width typically accommodates three travel lanes in each direction, a continuous raised or landscaped median with intermittent turn lanes, and safety shoulders. Minor Improvements Policy: District Policy 7203.3 states that minor improvements to existing streets adjacent to a proposed development may be required. These improvements are to correct deficiencies or replace deteriorated facilities. Included are sidewalk construction or replacement; curb and gutter construction or replacement; replacement of unused driveways with curb, gutter and sidewalk; installation or reconstruction of pedestrian ramps; pavement repairs; signs; traffic control devices; and other similar items. ACHD Master Street Map: ACHD Policy Section 3111.1 requires the Master Street Map (MSM) guide the right-of-way acquisition, arterial street requirements, and specific roadway features required through development. This segment of Overland Road is designated in the MSM as a Mobility Arterial with 7-lanes and on-street bike lanes, a 96-foot street section within 124-feet of right-of-way. c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is not proposing any improvements to Overland Road abutting the site. 4 MER19-0077 / H-2019-0102 & H-2019-0104 d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: Overland Road is improved with 5 travel lanes, curb, gutter, and sidewalk abutting the site. Therefore, no additional improvements should be required as part of this application. To accommodate the future widening of Overland Road to 7-lane, the application should be required to dedicated additional right-of-way to total 62-feet from the centerline on Overland Road abutting the entire site. This includes a 63-foot wide gap in the right-of-way dedicated, located 350-feet west of Movado Way. Consistent with ACHD’s Minor Improvement Policy, the applicant should be required to repair or replace any damaged or deficient improvements along Overland Road abutting the site. 3. Movado Way a. Existing Conditions: Movado Way is improved with 2-travel lanes, vertical curb, gutter, and 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk abutting the site. Movado Way is improved as a 40-foot street section within 40-feet of right-of-way north of the existing entrance island located 470- feet south of Overland Road. Movado Way is improved as a 34-foot street section within 36- feet of right-of-way south of the existing entrance island. There is between 42 to 36-feet of right- of-way for Movado Way (21 to 18-feet from centerline). b. 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. Minor Improvements Policy: District Policy 7203.3 states that minor improvements to existing streets adjacent to a proposed development may be required. These improvements are to correct deficiencies or replace deteriorated facilities. Included are sidewalk construction or replacement; curb and gutter construction or replacement; replacement of unused driveways with curb, gutter and sidewalk; installation or reconstruction of pedestrian ramps; pavement repairs; signs; traffic control devices; and other similar items. c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is not proposing any improvements to Movado Way abutting the site. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: Movado Way is fully improved with 2 travel lanes, curb, gutter, and sidewalk abutting the site. Therefore, no additional street improvements or right-of- way dedication should be required as part of this application. 5 MER19-0077 / H-2019-0102 & H-2019-0104 Consistent with ACHD’s Minor Improvement Policy, the applicant should be required to repair or replace any damaged or deficient improvements along Movado Way abutting the site. 4. Driveways 4.1 Overland Road a. Existing Conditions: There are three existing curb return type driveways onto Overland Road from the site. They are located as follows: A 27-foot wide driveway onto Overland Road located 745-feet west of Movado Way in alignment with Rolling Hills Drive on the north side of Overland Road across from the site. A 40-foot wide driveway onto Overland Road located 325-feet west of Movado Way. A 40-foot wide driveway onto Overland Road located 140-feet east of Movado Way. b. Policy Access Points 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. Access Policy: District policy 7205.4.7 states that direct access to principal arterials is typically prohibited. If a property has frontage on more than one street, access shall be taken from the street having the lesser functional classification. If it is necessary to take access to the higher classified street due to a lack of frontage, the minimum allowable spacing shall be based on Table 1b under District policy 7205.4.7, unless a waiver for the access point has been approved by the District Commission. Driveways, when approved on a principal arterial shall operate as a right-in/right-out only, and the District will require the construction of a raised median to restrict the left turning movements. Driveway Location Policy: District policy 7205.4.7 requires driveways located on principal arterial roadways to be located a minimum of 355-feet from the nearest intersection for a right- in/right-out only driveway. Full-access driveways are not allowed on principal arterial roadways. Successive Driveways: District policy 7205.4.7 Table 1b, requires driveways located on principal arterial roadways with a speed limit of 40 MPH to align or offset a minimum of 400-feet from any existing or proposed driveway. Driveway Width Policy: District policy 7205.4.8 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, 7205.4.8, 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 7205.4.8. Temporary Access Policy: District Policy 7202.4.2 identifies a temporary access as that which “is permitted for use until appropriate alternative access becomes available”. Temporary access may be granted through a development agreement or similar method, and the developer shall be responsible for providing a financial guarantee for the future closure of the driveway. Cross Access Easements/Shared Access Policy: District Policy 7202.4.1 states that cross access utilizes a single vehicular connection that serves two or more adjoining lots or parcels so that the driver does not need to re-enter the public street system. 6 MER19-0077 / H-2019-0102 & H-2019-0104 c. Applicant’s Proposal: The applicant is proposing to utilize the existing driveway onto Overland Road located in alignment with Rolling Hills Drive. The application is not proposing to utilize the other 2 driveways onto Overland Road. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal to use the driveway located in alignment with Rolling Hills Drive is consistent with ACHD policy and should be approved as a temporary full access driveway. This driveway may be restricted to right-in/right-out only in the future as traffic conditions warrant, as determined by ACHD. The applicant should be required to close the two existing 40-foot wide driveways on Overland Road located 325-feet west of Movado Way and 140-feet east of Movado Way with vertical curb, gutter, and 7-foot wide attached concrete sidewalk to match the existing improvements on either side. 4.2 Movado Way a. Existing Conditions: There are two 14-foot wide curb cut type driveways onto Movado Way located on the east and west sides of the roadway, 445-feet south of Overland Road. b. 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. 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. Minor Improvements Policy: District Policy 7203.3 states that minor improvements to existing streets adjacent to a proposed development may be required. These improvements are to correct deficiencies or replace deteriorated facilities. Included are sidewalk construction or replacement; curb and gutter construction or replacement; replacement of unused driveways with curb, gutter and sidewalk; installation or reconstruction of pedestrian ramps; pavement repairs; signs; traffic control devices; and other similar items. 7 MER19-0077 / H-2019-0102 & H-2019-0104 c. Applicant’s Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct 4 driveways on to Movado Way as follows: • Two curb return type driveways located 220-feet south of Overland Road (measured from centerline-to-centerline). • A curb return type driveway on the east side of Movado Way located 425-feet south of Overland Road (measured centerline-to-centerline). • A curb return type driveway in alignment with Vacheron Street. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant should be required to close the two existing driveways on Movado Way with vertical curb, gutter and 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk. The applicant's proposal for the driveways located 220-feet and 425-feet south of Overland Road meet ACHD’s Driveway Location Policy, for a stop-controlled intersection, however, the Overland Road/Movado Way intersection is anticipated to be signalized in the future. The applicant’s proposal does not meet the required 440-foot offset from a signalized intersection for a full access driveway. Staff prefers that the driveways be located to meet ACHD policy from a signalized intersection. If the applicant does not want to locate driveways as recommended, then the proposed locations can be approved as temporary full access driveways, these driveways may be restricted in the future when the intersection is signalized. The applicant’s proposed driveway spacing of 205-feet does not meet District policy which requires a 245-foot minimum offset. However, an existing entrance island prohibits shifting the driveways to meet District spacing requirements. Staff recommends a modification of policy to approve the driveways as proposed. The 16% modification of policy is approved at the discretion of the Development Services Manager. The applicant’s proposal to construct a driveway aligned with Vacheron Street meets District policy and should be approved as proposed. All driveways onto Movado Way should be constructed as curb return type driveways and provide a minimum unobstructed sight distance of 225-feet. 5. Cross Access As part of ACHD’s review of a City of Boise conditional use permit application CUP18-00016 (BOI18-0131) the applicant of that application had indicated that they have a cross access agreement with this site, to utilize a driveway onto Movado Way. At this time construction drawings have not been submitted to ACHD for review, providing verification of the cross-access agreement. ACHD staff recommends the City of Meridian require cross access from this site to the adjacent parcel to the east (S1121110200). Without cross access provided to Movado Way, Overland Road will be the sole access point to this site. 6. 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 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. 7. 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 8 MER19-0077 / H-2019-0102 & H-2019-0104 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. 8. Other Access Overland Road is classified as a principal arterial roadway, Movado Way is classified as a collector roadway. Other than the access specifically approved with this application, direct lot access is prohibited to these roadways. D. Site Specific Conditions of Approval 1. Submit a signal warrant analysis for the Overland Road/Movado Way intersection to ACHD for review. The signal warrant analysis should be reviewed and accepted prior to issuance of a building permit for the multi-family dwelling units.
