ACHD April 13, 2020 email, curvier collectors exist for ingress/egress, concept examples Attachments:April 14 2020 Letter for DELANO re. ACHD ingress and egress commentary in response to ACHD April 13 2020 Letter.pdf External Sender - Please use caution with links or attachments. Hi Sonya and Bill, We hope this finds you very well! Wishing you the very best. We noticed the ACHD comments to the P and Z commissioners’ question and Planning staff’s question about another ingress/egress point into Delano. Another ingress/egress would improve flow and would eliminate heavy traffic via N Dashwood Pl when all infills develop if Dashwood is emergency only in perpetuity. If the Wong parcel concept had buffers we believe adequate sightlines would be available for safety, since more curvy collectors exist in Meridian with many additional ingress/egress points throughout the collector area. We will include the City Clerk on this to attach this to the Delano Public Comment File. Thank you so very much! Be well, and stay safe! ~Alpine Pointe Community Outreach Committee 1 April 14, 2020 To the Honorable Robert Simison, Mayor, the City of Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission, and to the City of Meridian City Council: We just read the ACHD's take on the ingress/egress question that was asked by the City of Meridian Planning and Zoning Staff and Planning and Zoning Commission. There was a question posed about another ingress/egress to the northern portion of Delano, when the Wong parcel sells for development. ACHD was concerned about sightlines. There are other more curvy collectors in existence in Meridian with lesser sightlines that have been accepted by ACHD. Below is the ACHD correspondence,submitted to the DELANO packet on April 13, 2020: Subject:RE:4/16/2020 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Agenda and Teleconference Information F.kternal Sander- Please use caution with links or attachments. Hi Sonya, The spacing between Della and Jasmine can be constructed to meet the 330-foot requirement on Centrepoint Way,that isn't the issue.My largest concern was the sight distance. Knowing that as Centrepoint Way is extended to the north it will have to make a substantial jog to the east,an intersection near the northern portion of the Wong property would be on the inside of a sharp curve.To see approaching vehicles,drivers would have to look far over their shoulder,looking behind them.Even with proper easements in place to ensure site lines it is a troublesome scenario and would create a situation I did not feel was safe. Hopefully that helps explain where I was Coming from.If further information is needed please let me know. Thank you, Austin Miller Ada County Highway District Planner II,Development Services 1301 N.Orchard 5t.Ste.200 Phone: (208) 387-6335 It took mere seconds to complete a quick Google Maps search to see other ingress/egress examples off of other more heavily trafficked collectors with more accentuated curves and somewhat obstructed sightlines, some with mature trees and vegetation in the sightlines. Other curvier Collector streets exist, and have been acceptable with new ingress/egress streets for residential and commercial needs. These collectors were accepted by ACHD with the curves and sightlines. ep Jig - 4 ' `4 MEND— i ■ 4 • a re ■}_ i ■ ■ i ' ■ D oo o} o a �� Fan-rily}Medici - ' t� First Ti#�e�+ Ii1S� 8 dq SO la-TencorrCor�orati Skyline Realty.

Bollinger r 1 Cmk Hedrick x * On the next page is a quick copy-and-paste rendering of the current Delano plan,with a concept for the WONG property and an extension of Jasmine East for the Cook parcel, since the Stellar EAGLE access will be terminated once the infills develop and Stellar plan (in Boise) will use the Centrepoint Way from the South until the Wong parcel sells and is developed to build Centrepoint Way to Wainwright north in Alpine Pointe. The Stellar Assisted Living and Memory Care preliminary plat is filed with the City of Boise for the Hedrick parcel. With BUFFERS(in green)the sightlines and 330-feet, centerline to centerline spacing requirements for ACHD access to collectors are realized in this mockup, a Cross INGRESS/EGRESS street to the north running East/West for DELANO SFR, WONG INFILL, and STELLAR is realized, and safely so at a 25 MPH speed, 30 MPH speed or 35 MPH speed. Buffers and easements would also be on the East of Centrepoint Way. The access lane in BLUE is for flow between the JASMINE ST and a new northern East/West street servicing the STELLAR retirement property and the COOK Parcel, leading to some point of cross-access to the FAST EDDY'S establishment. Again, the direct access to EAGLE RD for the Stellar property will be terminated once the BOLLINGER, COOK, and WONG parcels develop,to limit access to Eagle Rd, per ITD, when vehicle trip counts increase and reach a set threshold. The new street extension of Jasmine St would extend towards the east,terminating at the access lane. { " In 1res ingrWfttefn II ��,.... ess s l • � 111.P1 •y I' ry Two : F1 I o rwa i N f Delano revised with larger lots to the north for better transition, and emergency access in perpetuity at N Dashwood PI to avoid twin de facto collector at Dashwood via Alpine Pointe.
