A. Findings of Fact
1. Description of Application: The applicant is requesting approval of annexation with a rezone
from C2 (Community Commercial) to R-8 (Medium Density Residential) into the City of Meridian
and a preliminary plat to allow for the development of 21 lots consisting of 18 single family lots and
3 common lots on 5.3 acres. The applicant's proposal is consistent with the City of Meridian's
comprehensive plan which designates this site as Medium Density Residential.
2. Description of Adjacent Surrounding Area:
Direction I Land Use Zoning
North Medium-Low Density Residential R-4
South Medium Density Residential R-8
East Medium Density Residential R-8
West Rural-Urban Transition (Ada County) RUT
3. Site History: ACHD has not previously reviewed this site for a development application.
4. Adjacent Development: The following developments are pending or underway in the vicinity of
the site:
• Percy Subdivision, a residential subdivision consisting of 113 lots, located directly adjacent to
the south of the site and was approved by ACHD in October 2019.

H-2021-0021
5. Transit: Transit services are not available to serve this site.
6. 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.
7. New Center Lane Miles: The proposed development includes 0.2 centerline miles of new public
road.
8. 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.
9. Capital Improvements Plan (CIP)/ Integrated Five Year Work Plan (IFYWP):
• Amity Road is listed in the CIP to be widened to 5-lanes from Meridian Road (SH-69)to Locust
Grove Road between 2036 and 2040.
• Lake Hazel Road is listed in the CIP to 5-lanes from Meridian Road (SH-69) to Locust Grove
Road between 2036 and 2040.
• The intersection of Amity Road and Meridian Road (SH-69) 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 2031 and 2035.
• The intersection of Lake Hazel Road and Meridian Road (SH-69) is listed in the CIP to be
widened to 6-lanes on the north leg, 6-lanes on the south, 7-lanes on the east, and 7-lanes
on the west leg and signalized between 2036 and 2040.
10. 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 Quartz Creek Street, located south of the site as a Level 1 facility and Amity
Road located north of the site as a Level 3 facility that will be constructed as part of a future ACHD
project.

B. Traffic Findings for Consideration
1. Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate 179 vehicle trips per day; 19 vehicle
trips per hour in the PM peak hour, based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip
Generation Manual, 10t" edition.
2. Condition of Area Roadways
Traffic Count is based on Vehicles per hour(VPH)
Roadway Frontage Functional PM Peak Hour
Classification Traffic Count
"State Highway 69 207-feet Principal Arterial 1,513
Meridian Road
** ACHD does not set level of service thresholds for State Highways.
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 Meridian Road (SH-69) south of Amity Road was 28,395
on October 24, 2019.
C. Findings for Consideration
1. State Highway SH-69 /Meridian Road
SH-69/Meridian Road is under the jurisdiction of the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD). The
applicant, City of Meridian, and ITD should work together to determine if additional right-of-way or
improvements are necessary on SH-69/Meridian Road.
2. Internal Local Streets
a. Existing Conditions: There are no local streets within the site. There is one local road, Keyport
Avenue, that is currently under construction as a stub street to the site's south property line.
The stub street was approved as part of ACHD's action on Prevail Subdivision (formerly Percy
Subdivision) located directly south of 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.
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.
3 Prevail North/ MPP21-0010/
H-2021-0021
Continuation of Streets Policy: District Policy 7207.2.4 states that an existing street, or a
street in an approved preliminary plat, which ends at a boundary of a proposed development
shall be extended in that development. The extension shall include provisions for continuation
of storm drainage facilities. Benefits of connectivity include but are not limited to the following:
• Reduces vehicle miles traveled.
• Increases pedestrian and bicycle connectivity.
• Increases access for emergency services.
• Reduces need for additional access points to the arterial street system.
• Promotes the efficient delivery of services including trash, mail and deliveries.
• Promotes appropriate intra-neighborhood traffic circulation to schools, parks,
neighborhood commercial centers, transit stops, etc.
• Promotes orderly development.
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 50-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:
• The median is platted as right-of-way owned by ACHD.
4 Prevail North/ MPP21-0010/
H-2021-0021
• 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 is proposing to extend Keyport Avenue into the site and
construct the internal local streets, Keyport Avenue and Scandia Avenue as 33-foot wide street
sections with rolled curb, gutter and 5-foot wide attached concrete sidewalk within 47-feet of

located outside of the dedicated right-of-way.
3. Stub Streets
a. Existing Conditions: There is one local road, Keyport Avenue, that is currently under
construction and will stub to the site's south property line. The stub street was approved as part
of ACHD's action on Prevail Subdivision (formerly Percy Subdivision) located directly south of
the site.
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.

H-2021-0021
• The District may require appropriate covenants guaranteeing that the stub street will
remain free of obstructions.
Temporary Dead End Streets Policy: District 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 is proposing to construct two stub streets in the following
locations:
• Liberator Court, to the north, located approximately 279-feet east of Meridian Road.

A permanent cul-de-sac turnaround is proposed at the terminus of both stub streets.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal to construct two stub streets
meets District policy and should be approved, as proposed. The applicant should be required
to install a sign at the terminus of each stub street stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE
EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE."
The applicant's proposal to construct a permanent cul-de-sac turnaround at the terminus of both
stub streets meets District policy, as they extend greater than 150-feet in length and should be
approved as proposed. The applicant should be required to construct the permanent cul-de-
sac turnarounds with a minimum 50-foot radius.
4. 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 maintenance and/or license
agreement.
b. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct Liberator Street to be greater
than 750-feet in length.
c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant should be required to redesign Liberator
Lane to be less than 750-feet in length or provide traffic calming including the use of passive
design elements approved by ACHD Traffic Services.
Stop signs, speed humps/bumps and valley gutters will not be accepted as traffic calming.
5. Carlson Lateral Crossing
The District will require that the applicant submit the crossing plans for the crossing of the Carlson
Lateral Crossing (Scandia Avenue) for review and approval prior to the pre-construction meeting
and final plat approval. Note: all plan submittals for bridges or pipe crossings of irrigation facilities

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.
7. 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.
D. Site Specific Conditions of Approval
