3. Recommendation to the City of Meridian
a. Cross Access: To minimize the number of driveways and to maintain the function and
performance of the arterial roadways, ACHD staff recommends the City of Meridian require
cross access between all the lots of this subdivision.
4. Driveways
4.1 Franklin Road
a. Existing Conditions: There are two curb return type driveways onto Franklin Road from the
site, located 230-feet and 460-feet west of Locust Grove Road (measured centerline-to-
centerline).
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 1 b 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 1 b, 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.
4 DRAFT Midgrove Plaza / MPP20-0012 / H-
2020-0029
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.
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.
c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to retain both existing driveways onto
Franklin Road. However, the eastern driveway, located 230-feet west of Locust Grove Road is
proposed to be restricted to use by the irrigation district for maintenance access to Fivemile
Creek.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal does not meet District Access
Management policy which requires access be taken from the lesser classified street and
Successive Driveways policy which requires driveways onto a Principal Arterial to align or offset
a minimum of 400-feet from any existing or proposed driveway, and should not be approved as
proposed. Full access driveways are prohibited onto Principal Arterial roadways. There is not
adequate frontage for the driveway to be relocated on Franklin Road to meet the minimum 400-
foot offset from Adkins Street and Locust Grove Road for a right-in/right-out only driveay. Locust
Grove Road is the lesser classified street and should be the point of access to this site.
The applicant should be required to close the existing driveway onto Franklin Road located 460-
feet west of Locust Grove Road with vertical curb, gutter and 7-foot wide attached concrete
sidewalk to match the existing improvements.
The existing driveway onto Franklin Road located 230-feet west of Locust Grove Road is
approved to remain as it for irrigation access to Fivemile Creek only and should be restricted
from public use with a gate located outside of the right-of-way.
4.2 Locust Grove Road

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.
Number of Driveways on Arterials: District policy 7205.4.4 states that the following guidelines
shall be used when more than one access point to an arterial is being requested with a
development. Additional driveways may be considered when one or more of the following
conditions are met:
• The daily volume using one driveway exceeds 5,000 vehicles (total volume for entering
and exiting traffic).
• Traffic using one driveway exceeds the volume to capacity ratio (v/c) equal to or greater
than 1, of a STOP controlled intersecting during either the peak hour of the stree or the
peak hour of the site traffic generation.
• A District approved traffic impact study and analysis determines that conditions warrant
additional driveways.
Access Policy: District policy 7205.4.6 states that direct access to minor 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 1 a under District policy 7205.4.6, unless a waiver for the access point has been approved
by the District Commission.
Driveway Location Policy: District policy 7205.4.5 requires driveways located on minor
arterial roadways from a signalized intersection with a single left turn lane shall be located a
minimum of 330-feet from the nearest intersection for a right-in/right-out only driveway and a
minimum of 660-feet from the intersection for a full-movement driveway.
Successive Driveways: District policy 7205.4.6 Table 1 a, requires driveways located on minor
arterial roadways with a speed limit of 40 MPH to align or offset a minimum of 330-feet from
any existing or proposed driveway.

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.
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.
c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to retain all existing driveways onto Locust
Grove Road.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal does not meet District Access
Management, Number of Driveways on Arterials, Successive Driveway or Driveway Location
policies and should not be approved as proposed.

Purpose: To develop the necessary avenue for proper notification to utilities of local highway and road
improvements, to help the utilities in budgeting and to clarify the already existing process.
1) Notification: Within five (5)working days upon notification of required right of way improvements
by Highway entities, developers shall provide written notification to the affected utility owners and
the Ada County Utility Coordinating Council (UCC). Notification shall include but not be limited to,
project limits, scope of roadway improvements/project, anticipated construction dates, and any
portions critical to the right of way improvements and coordination of utilities.
2) Plan Review: The developer shall provide the highway entities and all utility owners with
preliminary project plans and schedule a plan review conference. Depending on the scale of
utility improvements, a plan review conference may not be necessary, as determined by the utility
owners. Conference notification shall also be sent to the UCC. During the review meeting the
developer shall notify utilities of the status of right of way/easement acquisition necessary for their
project. At the plan review conference each company shall have the right to appeal, adjust and/or
negotiate with the developer on its own behalf. Each utility shall provide the developer with a letter
of review indicating the costs and time required for relocation of its facilities. Said letter of review
is to be provided within thirty calendar days after the date of the plan review conference.
3) Revisions: The developer is responsible to provide utilities with any revisions to preliminary
plans. Utilities may request an updated plan review meeting if revisions are made in the
preliminary plans which affect the utility relocation requirements. Utilities shall have thirty days
after receiving the revisions to review and comment thereon.
4) Final Notification: The developer will provide highway entities, utility owners and the UCC with
final notification of its intent to proceed with right of way improvements and include the anticipated
date work will commence. This notification shall indicate that the work to be performed shall be
pursuant to final approved plans by the highway entity. The developer shall schedule a
preconstruction meeting prior to right of way improvements. Utility relocation activity shall be
completed within the times established during the preconstruction meeting, unless otherwise
agreed upon.
Notification to the Ada County UCC can be sent to:50 S. Cole Rd. Boise 83707, or Visit iducc.com
