The conditional use permit application is to allow for the development of 272 multi-family units within the site. Lead Agency: City of Meridian Site address: Waltman Lane west of Meridian Road Commission Meeting: May 6, 2020 Applicant: Matt Schultz Schutz Development PO Box 1115 Meridian, ID 83680 Owner: Corey Barton 1977 E. Overland Road Meridian, ID 83680 Staff Contact: Dawn Battles Phone: 387-6218 E-mail: dbattles@achdidaho.org A. Findings of Fact 1. Description of Application: This is a modification to a development agreement, a rezone from C-G (General Retail and Service Commercial) to residential zones of R-8 (10 acres), R-15 (12 acres) and R-40 (16 acres), a conditional use permit and a preliminary plat application to allow for the development of 142 lots and 18 common lots on 38 acres. The conditional use permit application is to allow for the development of 272 multi-family units within the site. The City of Meridian’s Comprehensive Plan calls for mixed use community on the site. 2. Description of Adjacent Surrounding Area: Direction Land Use Zoning North General Retail and Service Commercial Rural-Urban Transition/Estate Residential (Ada County) C-G/RUT/R1 South I-84 N/A East General Retail and Service Commercial/Rural-Urban Transition C-G/RUT West Medium-Low Density Residential R-4 2 DRAFT Tanner Creek/ MPP20-0002/ H-2020-0024 3. Site History: See Finding for Consideration 1 below. 4. Transit: Transit services are not available to serve this site. 5. Pathway Crossings: United States Access Board R304.5.1.2 Shared Use Paths. In shared use paths, the width of curb ramps runs and blended transitions shall be equal to the width of the shared use path. AASHTO's Guidelines for the Development of Bicycle Facilities 5.3.5 Other Intersection Treatments: The opening of a shared use path at the roadway should be at least the same width as the shared use path itself. If a curb ramp is provided, the ramp should be the full width of the path, not including any flared sides if utilized. . . . Detectable warnings should be placed across the full width of the ramp. FHWA's "Designing Sidewalks and Trails for Access" (1999) reflected common ADA-related concepts: Chapter 6, Page 16-6: The width of the ramp should be at least as wide as the average width of the trail to improve safety for users who will be traveling at various speeds. In addition, the overall width of the trail should be increased, so the curb ramp can be slightly offset to the side. The increased width reduces conflict at the intersection by providing more space for users at the bottom of the ramp. 6. New Center Lane Miles: The proposed development includes 0.98 centerline miles of new public road. 7. 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. 8. Capital Improvements Plan (CIP)/ Integrated Five Year Work Plan (IFYWP): • Linder Road is scheduled in the IFYWP to be widened to 5-lanes from Overland Road to Franklin Road with an undetermined date. This does not include funding for ITD’s portion of the I-84 overpass. • The intersection of Franklin Road and Linder Road is listed in the CIP to be widened to 6- lanes on the north leg, 6-lanes on the south, 7-lanes east, and 7-lanes on the west leg, and signalized between 2021 and 2025. B. Traffic Findings for Consideration 1. Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate 2,883 vehicle trips per day; 260 vehicle trips per hour in the PM peak hour, based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual, 10th edition. 2. Condition of Area Roadways Traffic Count is based on Vehicles per hour (VPH) Roadway Frontage Functional Classification PM Peak Hour Traffic Count Waltman Lane 1,070-feet Local 17 Eider Drive None Local 17 Pelican Way None Local N/A 3 DRAFT Tanner Creek/ MPP20-0002/ H-2020-0024 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 Waltman Lane east of Johnson Street was 190 on October 16, 2017. • The average daily traffic count for Eider Drive east of Pelican Way was 679 on October 16, 2017. • The average daily traffic count for Pelican Way south of Waltman was 679 on October 16, 2017. C. Findings for Consideration 1. Site History In 2018 ACHD reviewed this site as an application for Tanner Creek/MPP18-0014. The Commission approved the staff report after hearing from staff and neighboring property owners regarding the need for pedestrian improvements on Corporate Drive south of the bridge. After taking the testimony into consideration, the Commission voted to approve the staff report, with an additional requirement that ACHD pay for the construction of sidewalk on Corporate Drive south of the bridge (see finding no. 2 below). A traffic impact study was required for this site in 2018. The traffic impact study noted that all studied roadways and intersections were anticipated to operate at an acceptable level of service at build-out of the development in 2022. Therefore, an additional traffic study was not required with the new application because only one additional lot is being proposed for the site. The requirements of this staff report are consistent with those of the prior action. 2. Corporate Drive Extension The applicant has proposed to enter into a cooperative development agreement (CDA) to construct the extension of Corporate Drive from its current terminus north of Ten Mile Creek to Waltman Lane. The applicant has proposed to make this improvement as part of the first phase of their development (55 building lots). This will provide additional access to the site area and provide for additional access while the Ten Mile Creek Bridge on Waltman Lane is reconstructed (see finding no. 3 below). Staff is supportive of the applicant’s proposal to enter into a CDA with ACHD for the construction of the Corporate Drive Extension, which will also include the construction of a new bridge over the Ten Mile Creek. ACHD previously acquired the right-of-way to allow for the construction of the Corporate Drive extension. The roadway north of the bridge should be constructed as a 40-foot wide commercial street section with vertical curb, gutter and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk. The crossing of Ten Mile Creek will require a 58-foot wide bridge with 2-foot parapets. The roadway south of the bridge to Waltman Lane should be constructed with a minimum of 30-feet of pavement with 3-foot gravel shoulders on both sides of the roadway. Based on traffic information provided by the applicant and reviewed by staff, ACHD should be responsible for 70% of the cost of the Corporate Drive extension and the applicant should be responsible for 30%. As part of the prior Commission action, ACHD will pay for the construction of curb, gutter, and a 5- foot wide attached concrete sidewalk on one side of Corporate Drive, south of the bridge. The Cooperative Development Agreement should include the roadway and bridge design and construction, as well as allocation of costs (70% ACHD and 30% the applicant). In order to ensure that Corporate Drive will be extended, the following items must be in place prior to plans acceptance of the final plat necessitating the improvements: • Cooperative Development Agreement; 4 DRAFT Tanner Creek/ MPP20-0002/ H-2020-0024 • Financial surety provided by the applicant meeting the terms of the Cooperative Development Agreement; • Full design and approved plans for the roadway and bridge. 3. Waltman Lane a. Existing Conditions: Waltman Lane is improved with 2-travel lanes, 25-feet of pavement and no curb, gutter or sidewalk abutting the site. There is 50-feet of right-of-way for Waltman Lane (25 to 28-feet from centerline line). 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. 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 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. c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct Waltman Lane as ½ of a 36-foot wide street section with vertical curb, gutter an 8-foot wide planter strip and 10-foot wide sidewalk within 29-feet of right-of-way from centerline. with 7-feet of the sidewalk located outside of the dedicated right-of-way abutting the site. The applicant is proposing to construct 5 DRAFT Tanner Creek/ MPP20-0002/ H-2020-0024 all improvements south of the existing edge of pavement for Waltman Lane, shifting the centerline of the roadway 8-feet south of the section line. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: Reclassification of Waltman Lane: Waltman Lane is currently classified as a local street. With this application the daily traffic volumes are anticipated to exceed 2,000 vehicle trips per day, exceeding the planning level threshold for local streets. Due to the fact that the traffic volumes are anticipated to exceed 2,000 vehicle trips per day on Waltman Lane, and that the existing function of Waltman Lane is to collect and carry traffic to Meridian Road, staff recommends that Waltman Lane be re-classified as a collector roadway from Meridian Road west to Kearny Avenue and that the Master Street Map be updated to reflect this change. On-Site Improvements: The applicant should be required to construct the south side of Waltman Lane as ½ of a 36-foot wide collector street section, with vertical curb, gutter an 8-foot wide planter strip and a minimum 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk (or 7-foot wide attached) abutting the site. The applicant should be required to construct the north side of Waltman Lane with a minimum of 12-feet of pavement from centerline, a 3-foot wide gravel shoulder and a borrow ditch to accommodate the roadway storm runoff. If the sidewalk is detached, then the right-of-way should extend a minimum of 2-feet behind the back of curb. Provide a permanent right-of-way easement to 2-feet behind back of sidewalk for any sidewalk placed outside of the dedicated right-of-way. Sidewalks shall either be located wholly within the public right-of-way or wholly within an easement. Staff recommends that center left turn lanes be constructed on Waltman Lane at the apartment driveway located approximately 430-feet east of Corporate Drive and at Kearney Avenue. Bridge Crossing: Roadway improvements to Waltman Lane will require the reconstruction of the existing Ten Mile Creek bridge crossing on Waltman Lane. The bridge should be reconstructed as a full 36-foot street section with vertical curb and 5-foot wide attached concrete sidewalks. This will require a 54-foot wide bridge with 2-foot parapets. ACHD is responsible for replacing the existing 28-foot wide bridge, plus the widening to the north to 41-feet; 76%. The applicant is responsible for an additional 13-feet of widening to the south; 24%. The applicant has proposed to replace this bridge after phase 1 improvements have been made, which include the Corporate Drive extension. To ensure the existing Ten Mile Creek bridge crossing on Waltman Lane is improved when necessary and to allocate costs, the applicant should be required to enter into a Cooperative Development Agreement with ACHD. The Cooperative Development Agreement should include bridge design and construction, as well as allocation of costs (76% ACHD and 24% the applicant). In order to ensure that Waltman Lane bridge is constructed, the following items must be in place prior plans acceptance for the final plat necessitating the improvements. • Cooperative Development Agreement; • Financial surety provided by the applicant meeting the terms of the Cooperative Development Agreement; • Full design and approved plans for the bridge. 4. Internal Local Streets a. Existing Conditions: There are no local streets within the site. Ruddy Drive stubs to the site’s west property line. b. Policy: 6 DRAFT Tanner Creek/ MPP20-0002/ H-2020-0024 Local Roadway Policy: District Policy 7207.2.1 states that the developer is responsible for improving all local 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 7207.5 states that right-of-way widths for all local streets shall generally not be less than 47-feet wide and that the standard street section shall be 33-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb). Standard Urban Local Street—33-foot Street Section and Right-of-way Policy: District Policy 7207.5.2 states that the standard street section shall be 33-feet (back-of-curb to back-of- curb) for developments with any buildable lot that is less than 1 acre in size. This street section shall include curb, gutter, and minimum 5-foot wide concrete sidewalks on both sides and shall typically be constructed within 47-feet of right-of-way. For the City of Kuna and City of Star: Unless otherwise approved by Kuna or Star, the standard street section shall be 36-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb) for developments with any buildable lot that is less than 1 acre in size. This street section shall include curb, gutter, and minimum 5-foot wide concrete sidewalks on both sides and shall typically be constructed within 50-feet of right-of-way. 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: 7 DRAFT Tanner Creek/ MPP20-0002/ H-2020-0024 • 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. c. Applicant’s Proposal: The applicant has proposed to extend Ruddy Drive into the site and has proposed to construct the entry portion of Ruddy Drive with two 21-foot wide travel lanes, a 9-foot wide center landscape island and gutter within 50-feet of right-of-way, and vertical curb and 5-foot wide attached concrete sidewalk located outside of the right-of-way. The applicant has proposed to construct the entry portion of Kearney Avenue with two 21-foot wide travel lanes, a 9-foot wide center landscape island, vertical curb, gutter, and a portion of an 8-foot wide planter strip within 60-feet of right-of-way with a 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk located outside of the right-of-way. The applicant has proposed to construct all other internal local streets as 33-foot street sections with rolled curb, gutter, and 5-foot wide attached concrete sidewalks within 47-feet of right-of- way. The applicant has proposed to construct an off-set cul-de-sac turnaround at the terminus of 7th Avenue. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant’s proposal to extend Ruddy Drive into the site meets District policy with the exception of the right-of-way proposed for the entry portion of Ruddy Drive and the entry portion of Kearney Avenue. The right-of-way on Ruddy Drive should extend to 2-feet behind the back of sidewalk within 64-feet of right-of-way. The right-of-way on Kearney Avenue should extend a minimum of 2-feet behind the back of curb. Provide a permanent right-of-way easement to 2-feet behind back of sidewalk for any sidewalk placed outside of the dedicated right-of-way. The applicant’s proposal to construct all other internal local streets as 33-foot street sections with rolled curb, gutter, and 5-foot wide attached concrete sidewalks within 47-feet of right-of- way meets District policy and should be approved as proposed. The center landscape islands on the entry portion of Ruddy Drive and Kearney Avenue should be platted as right-of-way owned by ACHD. The applicant or the future owner’s association should enter into a license agreement for any landscaping proposed to be located within the islands. The offset cul-de-sac should be designed to provide a minimum radius of 45-feet. 5. Alleys a. Existing Conditions: There are no alleys within the site. b. Policy: New Alley Policy: District Policy 7210.3.1 requires the minimum right-of-way width for all new residential alleys shall be a minimum of 16-feet or a maximum of 20-feet. If the residential alley 8 DRAFT Tanner Creek/ MPP20-0002/ H-2020-0024 is 16-feet in width building setbacks required by the land use agency having jurisdiction shall provide sufficient space for the safe backing of vehicles into the alley (see Section 7210.3.3). The minimum right-of-way width for all new commercial or mixed-use alleys shall be 20-feet. All alleys shall be improved by paving the full width and length of the right-of-way. Dedication of clear title to the right-of-way and the improvement of the alley, and acceptance of the improvement by the District as meeting its construction standards, are required for all alleys contained in a proposed development. Alley Length Policy: District Policy 7210.3.2 states that alleys shall be no longer than 700- feet in length. If the lead land use agency having jurisdiction requires a shorter block length, the alley shall be no longer than the agency’s required block length. Alley Parking & Setbacks Policy: District Policy 7210.3.3 states that parking within the alley right-of-way is prohibited. “No Parking” signs are required to be installed by the developer. The signs should be located at the alley/street intersections. Parking which is entered from the alley shall be designed so the minimum clear distance from the back of the parking stall to the opposite side of the alley is 20-feet for all perpendicular parking. Setbacks for structures taking access from the alley should be closely coordinated with the lead land use agency. The setbacks shall either discourage parking within the alley (where it may partially block or occur within the right-of-way) or allow adequate area for one perpendicular parking pad. In order to discourage parking, building setbacks shall be minimal from the alley right-of-way line, while still achieving the required 20-feet of back-up space from a garage or other parking structure to the opposite side of the alley (i.e. 4-foot setback + 16-foot alley= 20- feet for back-up space). Alley Intersections and Offsets Policy: District policy 7210.3.7 states that alleys should intersect public streets at each end. In specific circumstances as outlined in the policies below, the District may consider allowing an alley to intersect a public street at only one end. A 90- degree angle of intersection shall be designed where practical. In no case shall the intersecting angle be less than 75-degrees, as measured from centerline of intersecting street. An access to an alley shall be located a minimum of 50-feet from the nearest street (measured centerline to centerline). Alley/Alley Intersection Policy: District policy 7210.3.7.1 states that alley to alley intersection may only be considered or allowed under the specific circumstances identified below: • The lead land use agency supports the land use proposing an alley to alley intersection. • The intersecting alleys provide access to residential uses. On a case by case basis the District will consider allowing the alley to alley intersections for mixed use areas within a development. • For alley/alley intersections, base the sight triangle on the 10x20 and use ACHD Policy 7200 Figure 3, but decrease the driver’s eye location to 10’ from the edge of travel way. • For the horizontal curves in an alley base the clear sight triangle on AASHTO equation 3- 38. HSO=R(1-cos(28.65*S/R)). The value for S shall be based on a single vehicle approaching a nonmoving object at 15 mph. • Appropriate radii and site distances are accommodated at the alley/alley intersection. The minimum inside radius at the alley/alley intersection shall be 28-feet and the minimum outside radius shall be 48-feet. The radii at the intersection shall accommodate the planned design vehicle, most typically a sanitary services vehicle. • The sight triangles shall either be identified as common spaces with landscaping restrictions or permanent easements identified on the plat. 9 DRAFT Tanner Creek/ MPP20-0002/ H-2020-0024 • A coordination meeting is held with the applicable agency staff (fire department, police department, sanitary service provider, land use agency, and ACHD) to discuss and resolve potential issues. • The crossing alley has a maximum block length of 500-feet (measured near edge to near edge of the intersecting streets). The crossing alley shall intersect a public street at each end and shall not terminate at another alley. The crossing alley is the alley that has intersections with two public streets and an intersection with the perpendicular alley. Alley/Local Street Intersections Policy: District Policy 7210.3.7.2 states that alleys may intersect all types of local streets including minor local streets. Alleys shall generally be designed with a curb cut type approach when intersecting a local street. Alleys shall generally intersect streets in the middle of the block equally offsetting the intersecting streets. Alleys shall either align with alley/street intersections or provide a minimum 100-foot offset (measured centerline to centerline) from other local street intersections. For alley intersections with local streets, the District may consider a reduced offset if the lead land use agency’s required lot size allows for shorter buildable lots. Vacations of Alleys Policy: District Policy 7210.3.6 states that vacations of alley right-of-way are discouraged and shall not result in dead-end alleys. c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant has proposed to construct three 20-foot alleys within the site. The first alley is proposed to run east/west between Kearney Avenue and Malayan Avenue. The second alley is proposed to run north/south between Jacksnipe Drive and Backwoods Drive. The third alley is proposed to run north from Jacksnipe Drive and curve to the east to intersect Malayan Avenue. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant’s proposal to construct three 20-foot wide alleys meets District policy and should be approved, as proposed. All alleys with horizontal curves should be designed using the AASHTO equation 3-38. HSO= R(1 – cos(28.65*S/R)) using S = 80. 6. Roadway Offsets a. Existing Conditions: There are no roadway offsets within the site. b. Policy: Collector Offset Policy: District policy 7206.4.5, requires that the preferred spacing for a new local street intersecting a collector roadway to align or offset a minimum of 330-feet from any other street (measured centerline to centerline). Local Offset Policy: 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). c. Applicant’s Proposal: The applicant has proposed to construct 1 local street, Kearney Avenue, to intersect Waltman Lane, located approximately 330-feet west of Corporate Drive. The applicant has proposed to construct all local street to align or offset by 125-feet. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant’s proposal meets District policy and should be approved, as proposed. 7. Driveways/Private Roads 7.1 Waltman Lane a. Existing Conditions: There are 5 driveways from the site onto Waltman Lane. b. Policy: 10 DRAFT Tanner Creek/ MPP20-0002/ H-2020-0024 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. 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. Private Road Policy: District policy 7212.1 states that the lead land use agencies in Ada County establish the requirements for private streets. The District retains authority and will review the proposed intersection of a private and public street for compliance with District intersection policies and standards. The private road should have the following requirements: • Designed to discourage through traffic between two public streets, • Graded to drain away from the public street intersection, and • If a private road is gated, the gate or keypad (if applicable) shall be located a minimum of 50-feet from the near edge of the intersection and a turnaround shall be provided. c. Applicant’s Proposal: The applicant has proposed to construct one 24-foot wide full access driveway/private road onto Waltman Lane located approximately 430-feet east of Corporate Drive. The driveway transitions to 45- feet in width to provide back out parking into the 11 DRAFT Tanner Creek/ MPP20-0002/ H-2020-0024 driveway (illustrated). The applicant has proposed to close the existing driveways with the construction of curb, gutter, and sidewalk. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal to construct a full access driveway/private road located approximately 430-feet east of Corporate Drive meets District policy and is approved. The applicant should be required to construct the driveway/private road to a maximum width of 30-feet and as a curb return type driveway. Staff recommends that the parking located within the driveway/private road near Waltman Lane be eliminated due to the safety concerns associated with its proximity to the Waltman Lane intersection and the potential for conflict with vehicles entering and exiting the site as vehicles are backing in and out of the parking spots. The applicant’s proposal to close the existing driveways onto Waltman Drive meets District policy and should be approved, as proposed. If the City of Meridian approves the private road, the applicant shall be required to pave the private roadway a minimum of 20 to 24-feet wide and at least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of all public streets and install pavement tapers with 15-foot curb radii abutting the existing roadway edge. If private roads are not approved by the City of Meridian, the applicant will be required to revise and resubmit the preliminary plat to provide public standard local streets in these locations. Street name and stop signs are required for the private road. The signs may be ordered through the District. Verification of the correct, approved name of the road is required. ACHD does not make any assurances that the private road, which is a part of this application, will be accepted as a public road if such a request is made in the future. Substantial redesign and reconstruction costs may be necessary in order to qualify this road for public ownership and maintenance. The following requirements must be met if the applicant wishes to dedicate the roadway to ACHD: • Dedicate a minimum of 50-feet of right-of-way for the road. • Construct the roadway to the minimum ACHD requirements. • Construct a stub street to the surrounding parcels. 7.2 Malayan Avenue a. Existing Conditions: There are no local streets within the site. b. 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. 12 DRAFT Tanner Creek/ MPP20-0002/ H-2020-0024 c. Applicant’s Proposal: The applicant has proposed to construct one 24-foot wide driveway/private Road onto Malayan Avenue located 192-feet south of Eider Drive. The driveway transitions to 40-feet in width to provide back out parking into the driveway (illustrated). d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant’s proposal to construct a 24-foot wide driveway/private road onto Malayan Avenue located 192-feet south of Eider Drive meets District policy and should be approved. Staff recommends that the parking located within the driveway/private road near Malayan Avenue be eliminated due to the safety concerns associated with its proximity to the Malayan Avenue intersection and the potential for conflict with vehicles entering and exiting the site as vehicles are backing in and out of the parking spots. If the City of Meridian approves the private road, the applicant shall be required to pave the private roadway a minimum of 20 to 24-feet wide and at least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of all public streets and install pavement tapers with 15-foot curb radii abutting the existing roadway edge. If private roads are not approved by the City of Meridian, the applicant will be required to revise and resubmit the preliminary plat to provide public standard local streets in these locations. Street name and stop signs are required for the private road. The signs may be ordered through the District. Verification of the correct, approved name of the road is required. ACHD does not make any assurances that the private road, which is a part of this application, will be accepted as a public road if such a request is made in the future. Substantial redesign and reconstruction costs may be necessary in order to qualify this road for public ownership and maintenance. The following requirements must be met if the applicant wishes to dedicate the roadway to ACHD: • Dedicate a minimum of 50-feet of right-of-way for the road. • Construct the roadway to the minimum ACHD requirements. • Construct a stub street to the surrounding parcels. 8. Parking As part of this application 272 (70 one bedroom and 202 two and three bedroom) apartments are proposed to be constructed on the east side of the site. The applicant has proposed to provide 548 parking stalls for the apartments exceeding the 519 required parking stalls required by the City of Meridian by 29 stalls. Staff is supportive of this proposal, with the exception of the parking stalls located within the driveways/private roads near Waltman Lane and Malayan Avenue, as it provides additional parking for residents and visitors of the apartments and will help to prevent on-street parking in the adjacent neighborhood, where single family homes are proposed to be constructed. 13 DRAFT Tanner Creek/ MPP20-0002/ H-2020-0024 9. Traffic Calming As part of this development, the applicant has proposed to extend an existing stub street within The Landing Subdivision, Ruddy Drive, into and through the site to intersect Waltman Lane. This will provide alternative access to the residents of The Landing Subdivision who want an eastbound alternative to using Linder Road. The extension of the stub street is anticipated to increase traffic on Eider Drive, Gander Drive, Pelican Way, and Pintail Drive and may necessitate the need for future traffic calming on those roadways. A speed study and updated traffic counts will be necessary after Ruddy Drive is extended and subdivision is built-out. Staff recommends that the applicant provide a road trust deposit in the amount of $18,000 to pay for future traffic calming on local streets within The Landing Subdivision. The road trust deposit should be provided when Ruddy Drive is extended into the site. The installation of traffic calming will be prioritized when a sufficient amount of warrants has been met. 10. Stub Streets a. Existing Conditions: There is an existing stub street, Ruddy Drive, at the site’s west property line and is proposed to be extended into the site as a local street. b. Policy: Stub Street Policy: District policy 7207.2.4.3 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 7207.2.4, 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: • 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: 7207.2.4.4 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. c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant has proposed to construct 7th Avenue as a stub street to the north property line to a 0.86-acre site, located 125-feet east of the west property line. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant’s proposal meets District policy and should be approved, as proposed. The applicant should be required to install a sign at the terminus of the stub street stating that “THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE”. 11.

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. 13. 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. 14.
