On March 18, 2002, the District Planning and Development staff inspected this site and evaluated the transportation system in the vicinity. On March 19, 2002, the staff met as the District's Technical Review Committee and reviewed the impaCts of this proposed development on the District's transportation system. The results of that analysis constitute the following Facts and Findings and recommended Site Specific Requirements. Tuscany Lakes Subdivision was originally approved on December 13, 2000. The applicant is submitting a revised preliminary plat for review by the District due to the fact that the applicant has acquired an additional 40-acres and has moved the school site. Tuscany Lakes.cmm Page 3 The applicant hired Dobie Engineering to perform a traffic analysis of this site. The analysis has identified the following conclusions, and this information has been verified by District staff: This Development is projected to be built-out by the year 2005. The following sections are taken from Section 7106.1.1 from the ACHD Development Policy Manual covering Traffic Impact Studies: Tuscany Lakes Subdivision is a proposed 190-acre residential development containing 455 single-family lots plus an elementary school site. The property is located south of Victory Road between Eagle and Locust Grove Roads in Meridian, Idaho. The project will be developed in phases and is estimated to be fully developed by the year 2005. The site layout is included in figure 1 of the traffic study. The local streets, residential collector streets, collector streets, and arterial streets within the study area and the intersection to be analyzed. South Eagle Road is an ACHD designated road, south of Overland, and is classified as a Minor Arterial. Adjacent to the site, Eagle Road is improved with two traffic lanes with 3 ft. paved shoulders. The posted speed limit is 50 mph. Victory Road is designated as a Collector Road west of Eagle Road and a Minor Arterial to the east of Eagle. It is a two-lane 30 ft. paved rural section. The posted speed limit is 35 mph east of the canal, and 45 mph west of the canal. · Locust Grove Road is an unclassified section road with a two-lane 30 ft. rural paved section. The posted speed limit is 50 mph. Two intersections will be analyzed in this traffic study. The Eagle/Victory Road intersection has an all-way stop-control with a traffic beacon. The Locust Grove/Victory Road intersection is also an all-way-stop-control. Existing land use, roadways, traffic pattems, roadway volume, and turning movement volumes within the study area. · The site is currently vacant. Projected average daily traffic and peak hour turning movement counts were prepared for the arterial intersections. Traffic data were obtained from DE1 counts and traffic studies for the highlands Ranch and Sherbrooke Hollows developments. The volumes for the year 2002 are summarized in Figure 2 and 3 of the study. These projections include both the AM and PM peak hour periods. Existing levels of service within the study area. This will be determined using the latest edition of the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) and existing traffic control devices. Tuscany Lakes.cmm Page 4 The intersection of Eagle/Victory Road intersection was determined to have an existing LOS C in the PM Peak Hour. This is a stop-controlled intersection. · The intersection of Locust Grove/Victory Road intersection was determined to have an existing LOS B in the PM Peak Hour. This is a stop-controlled intersection. Planned road improvements and major land development within the study area. Five Year Work Program - The portion of Eagle Road, between Victory and Overland, is scheduled for widening from the current two-lanes roadway to a five- lane urban arterial section. This will include 96' of r/w, and the widening of the bridge over the Ridenbaugh Canal. This work is scheduled for year 2003. The intersection at Eagle/Victory is scheduled for improvements in the year 2005. These improvements include adding left-mm legs on all four approaches, curb, gutter, and sidewalks on all four comers. This intersection is scheduled to be improved to a signalized intersection in 2005. Forecast of future traffic patterns, roadway capacity, and taming movements in the study area before the proposed development is built. The traffic study included projections on the adjacent roadways for both the build-out year of 2005 and 2020. These projections were based on the COMPASS 2020 Transportation Planning Model. · The projected traffic volumes for the study area are within the COMPASS guidelines for the projected volumes, presented in the study for the year 2005. Forecast of future traffic patterns, roadway capacity volumes, and turning movements in the study area after the proposed development is fully built and occupied. These numbers are "site traffic" plus "background traffic". Based on the trip generation rates and regional growth projections previously presented, future trips resulting from the development of Tuscany Lakes Subdivision lots were estimated and assigned to the internal streets and project entrances. The traffic volumes for the site during the AM and PM peak hour conditions are presented in figures 5 and 6 of the traffic study. This includes the trip distribution at the site accesses. The site entrances are proposed to be T type -intersections. The Level of Service projections for the site accesses are as follows: The Tuscany Way/Victory Road site access is Projected to operate at a overall LOS B for both the AM' and PM peak hour periods at build out. The Dartmoor Dr./Locust Grove Road site access is projected to operate at a LOS B for both the AM and PM peak hour periods at build out. The Rome Dr./Eagle Road site access is projected to operate at a LOS B during the AM peak hour and a LOS C during the PM peak hour at build out. It was assumed in the Tuscany Lakes.cmm Page 5 calculations and analysis that both Locust Grove and Victory Road would be improved to a three-lane left-tm lane section at the site intersections by the year 2005. The level of Service for the Victory Road/Locust Grove Road intersection is projected to operate at a LOS C during the AM peak hour and a LOS D during the PM peak hour at the build out year of 2005, with the addition of site traffic. This analysis assumes that left-mm lanes will be added at this interSection. It was noted that projected traffic volumes exceed the acceptable LOS range for the existing lane geometry. The level of Service for the Victory/Eagle Road intersection is projected to operate at a LOS C during the AM peak hour and a LOS F during the PM peak hour at the build out year of 2005, with the addition of site traffic. This analysis was performed with the left- turn lanes that are programmed to be built at this intersection in 2005. The analysis was performed under the condition of all-way-stop-controlled situation. Included in the 2005 project is the installation of a traffic signal. The intersection was not analyzed with the · addition of the traffic signal, but it is assumed that the Level of Service will improve to an acceptable level of service with these improvements. The capacity for Victory, Locust Grove, and Eagle Roads were analyzed for the 2015 with the addition of the site generated traffic. The results were as follows: Victory Road is projected to operate at a LOS C, Locust Grove Road at LOS A, Eagle Road with two lanes will operate at a LOS F, and Eagle Road with 3 lanes will operate at a LOS D. Eagle Road will need additional capacity to accommodate projected traffic. The warrants for auxiliary lanes was analyzed for the three site approaches. The warrants for left-mm lanes were all met, and the warrants for the right-mm lanes were met for the access on Locust Grove Road and Eagle Road. The warrant was met for a taper only on Victory Road. Recommended roadway/pathway improvements and mitigation measures. This includes location and design of driveways, intersections and traffic control devices. Based on the evaluation criteria provided by ACHD, both a left-mm lane and a right-turn deceleration lane are warranted on Eagle and Locust Grove Road due to the higher posted speed. On Victory Road a left-turn lane plus a right-mm taper are required according to ACHD guidelines. The effects of the traffic from the proposed development on existing local streets and the effects of traffic from existing local streets on the proposed development. This development proposes two stub streets to the east, one to the parcel of land at the comer of Eagle/Victory and one fi.om W. Sicily Street in the Lakes section of the development. Two stub streets are projected to the south of the development, and one stub street to the north of the property in the Lakes section of the development. Tuscany Lakes.cram Page 6 Additional Comments: At the intersection of Victory/Locust Grove Road it was assumed in the analysis that this intersection would be improved with the addition of left-turn lanes at this intersection. No such improvements are included in the Five Year Work Program. The intersection will not operate at an acceptable LOS with the current lane configuration.
