8. Roadways to Bikeways Master Plan: ACHD's Roadways to Bikeways Master Plan (BMP) was
adopted by the ACHD Commission in May of 2009 and was update in 2018. The plan seeks to
implement the Planned Bicycle Network to support bicycling as a viable transportation option for
Ada County residents with a wide range of ages and abilities, maintain bicycle routes in a state of
good repair in order to ensure they are consistently available for use, promote awareness of existing
bicycle routes and features and support encouragement programs and to facilitate coordination and
cooperation among local jurisdictions in implementing the Roadways to Bikeways Plan
recommendations.
The BMP identifies level 1 facilities on the new residential collector roadway at the site's north
property line. The facilities will be constructed with this development.

C. Findings for Consideration
1. South Meridian Transportation Plan
The South Meridian Transportation Plan (SMTP) is a long range planning tool used to identify future
roadway, intersection, and corridor needs in the South Meridian Area. Providing a framework for
future roadway improvements based on the land use designations. The plan was created in
collaboration with the City of Meridian and was adopted by the ACHD Commission in September
of 2009. The South Meridian Transportation Plan indicates a proposed residential collector on the
site's north property line.
2. State Highway SH-69 / Meridian Road
SH-69/Meridian Road is under the jurisdiction of the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD). The
applicant, the City of Meridian, and ITD should work together to determine if additional right-of-way
or improvements are necessary on SH-69/Meridian Road.
ITD has recommended approval for the proposal to construct a public street, Quartz Creek Street,
located at the site's north property boundary, which is consistent with the location of the mid-mile
collector roadway designated on the Master Street Map. ITD has indicated that the approach will
be restricted to left-in/right-in/right-out only.
3. East/West Collector - Quartz Creek Street
a. Existing Conditions: There are no collector roadways within the site. There is one collector
road, Quartz Street, that is proposed to be constructed as '/2 of a 36-foot wide street section
with an additional 12-feet of pavement with Percy Subdivision abutting the site's north property
line, and is proposed to be constructed as a 30-foot wide paved road for the remaining portion
of Quartz Street from that site's west property line to Meridian Road/SH-69. This roadway is
currently under construction and was approved as part of ACHD's action on Percy Subdivision
located directly north of the site.
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.
3 Shafer View Terrace Subdivision
MPP21-0002 / H-2020-0117
Half Street Policy: District Policy 7206.2.2 required improvements to adjacent collector street
shall consist of pavement widening to one-half the required width, including, curb, gutter and
concrete sidewalk (minimum 7-foot attached or 5-foot detached), plus 12-feet of additional
pavement widening beyond the centerline established for the street to provide an adequate
roadway surface, with the pavement crowned at the ultimate centerline. A 3-foot wide gravel
shoulder and a borrow ditch sized to accommodate the roadway storm runoff shall be
constructed on the unimproved side.
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.
ACHD Master Street Map: ACHD Policy Section 3111.1 requires the Master Street Map
(MSM) guide the right-of-way acquisition, collector street requirements, and specific roadway
features required through development. A new collector roadway was identified on the MSM
with the street typology of Residential Collector. The new collector roadway is located mid-mile
between Amity Road and Lake Hazel Road. The new collector roadway should intersect
Meridian Road/SH-69 to the west and continue at the site's north property line stubbing to the
east. The Residential Collector typology as depicted in the Livable Street Design Guide
recommends a 2-lane roadway with bike lanes, a 36-foot street section within 50 to 70-feet of
right-of-way.
c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct Quartz Creek Street along the
site's north property line as '/2 of a 36-foot street section with vertical curb, gutter, an 8-foot wide
planter strip, and 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk within 18-feet of right-of-way to
complete the construction of Quartz Creek Street abutting Percy Subdivision shown in green
below and complete the south side of Quartz Creek Street from Percy Subdivision's west
property line to Meridian Road/SH-69, below in red.
The applicant is also proposing to construct vertical curb, gutter, an 8-foot wide planter strip,
and 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal to construct Quartz Creek
Street at the site's north property line is consistent with the MSM and meets District Policy and
should be approved, as proposed.
The applicant's proposal to only construct Quartz Creek Street to Keara Avenue intersection
(1,189-feet east of SH-69 centerline) does not meet District policy and should not be approved,
as proposed. The applicant should be required construct the segment of Quartz Creek Street
to the east of Percy Subdivision, shown in yellow below, as half of a 36-foot wide street section
plus 12-feet of additional pavement to total 30-feet beyond the centerline established for the
street to provide an adequate roadway surface and a 3-foot wide gravel shoulder and a borrow
ditch sized to accommodate the roadway storm runoff constructed on the north side of the
street.
4 Shafer View Terrace Subdivision
MPP21-0002 / H-2020-0117
The right-of-way for Quartz Creek Street should touch the site's north property line. To
accommodate the construction of the detached sidewalks the applicant should either dedicate
additional right-of-way to extend to 2-feet behind the back of sidewalk or reduce the right-of-
way to 2-feet behind the back of curb and provide a permanent right-of-way easement. If street
trees are desired an 8-foot wide planter strip is required.

4. Internal Local Streets and Shafer View Drive
a. Existing Conditions: Shafer View Drive is improved with 2-travel lanes, curb, gutter, 33-feet
of pavement, and no sidewalk within 50-feet of right-of-way abutting the site's southwest
property line. There are no other local streets within the site.
b. Policy:
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.
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.
5 Shafer View Terrace Subdivision
MPP21-0002 / H-2020-0117
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.
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.
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:
• 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.

A DESIGNATED COLLECTOR ROADWAY. THIS STREET WILL BE EXTENDED AND
WIDENED IN THE FUTURE."
7. Traffic Calming
a. Speed Control and Traffic Calming Policy: District policy 7207.3.7 states that the design of
local street systems should discourage excessive speeds by using passive design elements. If
the design or layout of a development is anticipated to necessitate future traffic calming
implementation by the District, then the District will require changes to the layout and/or the
addition of passive design elements such as horizontal curves, bulb-outs, chokers, etc. The
District will also consider texture changes to the roadway surface (i.e. stamped concrete) as a
passive design element. These alternative methods may require a maintenance and/or license
agreement.
b. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The District requires traffic calming for local streets that
exceed 700-feet. Terrace Ridge Drive is a 1,494-foot long and straight roadway proposed within
the Shafer View Terrace Subdivision and will need to be redesigned or include the used of
passive design elements.
Stop signs, speed humps/bumps, and valley gutters will not be accepted as traffic calming.
The applicant should be required to submit a revised preliminary plat showing the redesigned
roadway for review and approval prior to plan submittal.
8. 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.
9. 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.
