7. Roadway Improvements Adjacent To and Near the Site
Locust Grove Road is currently improved with 28-feet of pavement (no center turn lane) with no curb,
gutter or sidewalk abutting the site.
t;
8. Existing Right -of -Way
There is approximately 50-feet of right-of-way (25-feet from centerline) for Locust Grove Road
abutting the site.
9. Existing Access to the Site
There are three existing driveways into the site, one for each existing residence. The first driveway is
located approximately 50-feet north of the south property line. The second driveway is located
approximately 250-feet north of the south property line. The third driveway is located approximately
400-feet north of south property line.
10. Site History
ACHD reviewed this site in February of 2001 as a rezone, preliminary plat and conditional use. That
application was for 180 multi -family units and commercial sites. A center turn lane in Locust Grove
Road was required with that application. In addition, Scrivner Avenue was not to be extended into the
site from Danbury Fair Subdivision because it would have been extended into proposed commercial
buildings (see Original Site Plan).
11. Five Year Work Program
Locust Grove Road, from Fairview Avenue to Franklin Road, is currently in the Five Year Work
Program for roadway improvements in 2006. Rather than constructing improvements on Locust
Grove Road, the applicant should be required to road trust for any required improvements.
12. Other Development in Area/Miscellaneous
In 2000 the ACHD reviewed and approved a 40-unit apartment complex just to the northwest of the
site (Penn Station Apartments, MCUP00-028). Access to that project is provided from Stonehenge
Way.
B. Findings for Consideration
Surrounding Properties
To the west of the site is a commercial apartment complex, Penn Station, that has access on to
Stonehenge Way via a driveway. To the north of the site are commercial businesses, which are
separated from this site by Settlers Canal and the Flume Canal.
There is a stub street (Scrivner Avenue) that stubs to this parcel on the south side of the site, and
does not extend to the proposed subdivision. District policy 7203.5.2 requires an existing street, or a
street in an approved preliminary plat, which ends at a boundary of a proposed development to be
extended into that development.
Request for Waiver of Policy: The applicant is asking for a waiver of District policy to extend Scriver
Avenue into the site. The reasons for this request are fourfold: the applicant is providing intra-
neighborhood circulation by providing pedestrian access to Scrivner Avenue; the extension of
Scrivner Avenue into the site is not needed for vehicular access since the site has sufficient frontage
on Locust Grove Road; Scrivner Avenue, in its current configuration, is not long enough to require a
turnaround; and some of the residents in Danbury Fair Subdivision have concerns about cut -through
traffic (see Applicant's Letter). In addition, the Commission did not require the extension of Scrivner
Avenue with the previous application in 2001.
Staff Analysis and Recommendation: In accordance with District policy, staff originally required the
applicant to extend Scrivner Avenue as a public street into the subject site from its existing terminus
3
in Danbury Fair Subdivision. Since the original draft report the applicant has submitted a letter stating
why the extension of Scrivner Avenue is not a reasonable requirement. Although staff does believe
that vehicular intra-neighborhood connectivity is important, in this case it may not be feasible.
Because the applicant is proposing private streets for the lots within the proposed subdivision,
extending Scrivner Avenue as a public street to connect to the streets in Locust Grove Place is not a
viable option. This connection would connect two public streets (Locust Grove Place and Scrivner
Avenue) via a private street (Drucker Street). This is not the ideal situation since the general public
does not have an easement for ingress/egress across Drucker Street as it is not proposed to be set
apart for public use, only private use. Because the applicant is providing pedestrian access to
Scrivner Avenue from the site and because Drucker Street is a proposed private street, staff
recommends that the Commission grant the applicant a waiver of District policy for the requirement to
extend Scrivner Avenue into the site.
On December 11, 2002, the ACHD Commission voted to grant the applicant a waiver of District
policy for the above stated standard requirement.
2. Access Points
The applicant is proposing to construct private streets off of Locust Grove Road to serve the
development. The proposed private streets are located approximately 100-feet south of the north
property line, and approximately 120-feet north of the south property line. The proposed private street
sections are 29-feet wide with curb, gutter and 4-foot wide sidewalks. Other than the conflict with
District policy stated in Findings for Consideration #1, staff supports the proposal for private streets
serving this development.
District Policy
District policy 7205.6, requires that other jurisdictions 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.
District policy 72-F5, requires driveways located on collector or arterial roadways with a speed limit of
35 to align or offset a minimum of 150-feet from any existing or proposed driveway. District policy
7204.11.6 requires local streets on arterial roadways to offset a minimum of 300-feet from other
streets. The applicant is proposing to construct Locust View Street on the north side of the
development approximately 300-feet from the proposed Drucker Street on the south side of the
development. The proposed location of Locust View Street is only 120-feet offset from an existing
driveway on the east side of Locust Grove Road. In addition, the proposed location of Drucker Street
is only 120-feet offset from another existing driveway on the east side of Locust Grove Road.
Request for Modification of Policy. The applicant has proposed to construct two private
roads/driveways on Locust Grove Road that meet District policy for spacing between streets but they
do not meet policy for spacing between driveways. Staff is recommending that the applicant be
allowed to construct Locust View Street and Drucker Street in the locations proposed because the
proposed locations have been determined to be the safest locations on the site. The proposed
access points will have higher traffic volumes than the existing driveways on the east side of Locust
Grove Road, and the property to the east, which the existing driveways serve is expected to
redevelop in the near future. When the property on the east side of Locust Grove Road redevelops it
is anticipated that the District will require that applicant to close the existing driveways and provide
access to the site in conformance with District policy.
On December 11, 2002, the ACHD Commission voted to grant the applicant a modification of
District policy for the proposed private road locations.
0
Graveled private roads abutting public streets create maintenance problems due to gravel being
tracked onto the roadway. In accordance with District policy, if Ada County approves the private
roads, the applicant should be required to pave the roadways a minimum of 24-feet wide and at least
30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of Locust Grove Road and install pavement tapers
with 15-foot radii abutting the existing roadway edge. The applicant should provide a plan showing
how the private road grade meets the public road. District Policy requires a design approach speed
of 20 MPH and a maximum intersection approach grade of 2% for at least 40-feet.
Street name and stop signs are required for the private road. The signs may be ordered through the
District at the cost of $240. Verification of the correct approved name of the road is required
ACHD does not make any assurances that the private road that 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.
The applicant should provide the District with a copy of a recorded access easement among the
parcels for use of the private road for access to the public street prior to final plat approval.
3. Right -of -Way
District policy requires 96-feet of right-of-way on arterial roadways (Figure 72-Fl B). This right-of-way
allows for the construction of a 5-lane roadway with curb, gutter, 5-foot concrete detached sidewalks
and bike lanes. The applicant should be required to dedicate 48-feet of right-of-way for Locust Grove
Road abutting the site. ACHD should purchase this right-of-way because Locust Grove Road is
currently in the Five Year Work Program.
4. Sidewalk
District policy requires 5-foot wide (minimum) concrete sidewalk on all arterial streets (7204.6.5). Due
to the fact that Locust Grove Road is within the District's Five Year Work Program, the applicant
should provide a Public Right's -of -Way Road Trust for the construction of 5-foot concrete sidewalk
abutting the site or coordinate the location and design of the sidewalk with District staff if the applicant
chooses to construct the sidewalk.
5. Center Turn Lane
A center turn lane was required with the previously submitted plat for this site. It has been determined
that the warrants for requiring a center left turn lane are no longer met with this application and
therefore the applicant should not be required to construct them with this application. NOTE: Locust
Grove Road is currently in the Five Year Work Program for improvements in 2006.
C. Site Specific Conditions of Approval
Dedicate 48-feet of right-of-way from the centerline of Locust Grove Road abutting the parcel
by means of a warranty deed. The right-of-way purchase and sale agreement and deed must
be completed and signed by the applicant prior to scheduling the final plat for signature by
5
the ACHD Commission or prior to issuance of a building permit (or other required permits),
whichever occurs first. Allow up to 30 business days to process the right-of-way dedication
after receipt of all requested material. The owner will be paid the fair market value of the
right-of-way dedicated which is an addition to existing ACHD right-of-way if the owner
submits a letter of application to the impact fee administrator prior to breaking ground, in
accordance with the ACHD Ordinance in effect at that time (currently Ordinance #196), if
funds are available.
2. Either provide an $8,800.00 Public Right's -of -Way Road Trust deposit for the construction of
5-foot concrete sidewalk abutting the site (approximately 440-feet) prior to issuance of a
building permit, or District approval of a final plat, OR construct a 5-foot wide detached
concrete sidewalk on Locust Grove Road abutting the site. The sidewalk shall be located 2-
feet within the new right-of-way and at the correct vertical difference from the center of the
road (see District staff). Coordinate the location and design of the sidewalk with District
Design staff (387-6225). If the sidewalk is constructed outside of the right-of-way, the
applicant must provide an easement.
3. Construct Drucker Street to intersect Locust Grove Road approximately 120-feet north of the
south property line, as proposed. Pave Drucker Street a minimum of 24-feet wide and at
least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of Locust Grove Road and install
pavement tapers with 15-foot radii abutting the existing roadway edge. The applicant shall
provide a plan showing how the private road grade meets the public road. District Policy
requires a design approach speed of 20 MPH and a maximum intersection approach grade
of 2 /o for at least 40-feet.
4. Construct Locust View Street to intersect Locust Grove Road approximately 100-feet south
of the north property line, as proposed. Pave Locust View Street a minimum of 24-feet wide
and at least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of Locust Grove Road and
install pavement tapers with 15-foot radii abutting the existing roadway edge. The applicant
shall provide a plan showing how the private road grade meets the public road. District
Policy requires a design approach speed of 20 MPH and a maximum intersection approach
grade of 2% for at least 40-feet.
5. The applicant shall provide the District with a copy of a recorded cross access easement for
the parcels within the development to use the private roads within the development for
access to the public street system.
6. Other than the private streets approved with this application, direct lot or parcel access to
Locust Grove Road is prohibited. Lot access restrictions, as required with this application,
shall be stated on the final plat.
7. Comply with all Standard Conditions of Approval.
1.1
D. Standard Conditions -of Approval
Any existing irrigation facilities shall be relocated outside of the right-of-way.
2. All utility relocation costs associated with improving street frontages abutting the site shall be borne
by the developer.
3. Replace any existing damaged curb, gutter and sidewalk and any that may be damaged during the
construction of the proposed development. Contact Construction Services at 387-6280 (with file
number) for details.
4. Utility street cuts in pavement less than five years old are not allowed unless approved in writing by
the District. Contact Construction Services at 387-6280 (with file numbers) for details.
5. All design and construction shall be in accordance with the Ada County Highway District Policy
Manual, ISPWC Standards and approved supplements, Construction Services procedures and all
applicable ACHD Ordinances unless specifically waived herein. An engineer registered in the State
of Idaho shall prepare and certify all improvement plans.
6. The applicant shall submit revised plans for staff approval, prior to issuance of building permit (or
other required permits), which incorporates any required design changes.
7. Construction, use and property development shall be in conformance with all applicable requirements
of the Ada County Highway District prior to District approval for occupancy.
8. Payment of applicable road impact fees are required prior to building construction in accordance with
Ordinance #195, also known as Ada County Highway District Road Impact Fee Ordinance.
9. It is the responsibility of the applicant to verify all existing utilities within the right-of-way. Existing
utilities damaged by the applicant shall be repaired by the applicant at no cost to ACHD. The
applicant shall be required to call DIGLINE at least two full business days prior to breaking ground
within ACHD right-of-way. The applicant shall contact ACHD Traffic Operations 387-6190 in the
event any ACHD conduits (spare or filled) are compromised during any phase of construction.
10. No change in the terms and conditions of this approval shall be valid unless they are in writing and
signed by the applicant or the applicant's authorized representative and an authorized representative
of the Ada County Highway District. The burden shall be upon the applicant to obtain written
confirmation of any change from the Ada County Highway District.
11. Any change by the applicant in the planned use of the property which is the subject of this
application, shall require the applicant to comply with all rules, regulations, ordinances, plans, or other
regulatory and legal restrictions in force at the time the applicant or its successors in interest advises
the Highway District of its intent to change the planned use of the subject property unless a
waiver/variance of said requirements or other legal relief is granted pursuant to the law in effect at the
time the change in use is sought.
7
E. Conclusions of Law
The proposed site plan is approved, if all of the Site Specific and Standard Conditions of Approval are
satisfied.
2. ACHD requirements are intended to assure that the proposed use/development will not place an
undue burden on the existing vehicular and pedestrian transportation system within the vicinity
impacted by the proposed development.

RE. Locust Grove Place Subdivision
MPP02-0261 MCUP02-041
1315 N. Locust Grove Place
Dear Mr. Hood:
12081 344-3922
p.2
Telephone: 208.344-3448 Fax: 208-3,W3922
I have reviewed the drali staff report presented to me on November 15, 2002. 1 provide the
following comments:
1. Extension of Scrivner Avenue.
Section A — Finding of Fact No. 10 indicates that Scrivner Avenue in Danbury Fair
Subdivision was not required for extension in the previous application because of the sitting
of a commercial building. 'That statement needs further clarification. Therc was
neighborhood concern regarding cut -through -traffic from the commercial buildings and
apartments. The solution to that issue was to not extend the street, but to provide only a
pedestrian access. A commercial building was sited in that location onl.y after it was
determined that the street should not be extended.
Section B—1~indings for Consideration No. 1 and Section C — Site Specific Condition No. 5
state the requirement to extend Scrivner Ave into this site based on policy. Because Locust
Grove Place Subdivision has a private street system, it is logical that if the Scrivner were
extended that it would not connect to Drucker Street. Therefore, a turnaround for Scrivner
would need to be provided on locust Grove Place Subdivision property. We disagree with
this requirement.
ACED Policy 7205.5 addresses stub streets, specifically intra-neighborhood circulation and
the provision of access to adjoining properties. We request District Policy 7203.5.2 be
modified for the following reasons:
a. Intro-neighbyrhood circul(itivn. Locust Grove Place Subdivision will have a sidewalk
connection to the terminus of Scrivner Avenue. This promotes the best kind of "intra-
neighborhood circulation," pedestrian access.
A?P I I -CAN'S LE- rlT %r.,.,R
Nov 22 02 04:05p Wardle & Associates (208) 344-3922 p,3
b. No access re uircxl Locust Grove Place Subdivision does not need to utilize Scrivner
Avenue for vehicular access. In fact, all vehicular traffic generated on site will access
Locust Grove Road from Drucker Street or Locust View Street.
c. No turnaround requir<�d. Scrivner Avenue, in its current configuration, does not require
a turnaround. ACHD Policy 7205.5 states:
",Rub streets will conform with requirements in ,S Clion 7204.5, and
7204.6 and 7204. 7, except a temporary cul-de-sac will not be required, i/'
the stub street has a length no greater than the depth of one lot or 150
,/eet...
In this case Scrivner Avenue is less than 150 feet and is not greater than the depth of one
lot. Therefore, a turnaround is not required, and Scrivner Avenue should not be
extended.
d. Neighborhood concerns. Previously, to address the possibility of cut -through traffic, a
compromise was made between all parties, including the developer, neighborhood, City
of Meridian & ACHD. That compromise was rcllected in the stal'I'report by not
requiring the connection to Scrivner. The best solution was the inclusion of a pedestrian
connection.
Therefore, we request that, given the aforementioned reasons, District Policy 7203.52 be
modified, that Scrivner Avenue not be extended into this property, and that no turnaround be
required.
2. Trust Fund Deposit for Locust Grove Road Sidewalk.
Section B — findings for Consideration No. 4 and Section C — Site Specific Condition No. 2
require the applicant to deposit $8,800 for the future sidewalk adjacent to Locust Grove
Road. Per my conversation with Steve Spickclmier, Locust Grove Road will begin design in
2003, with construction in 2006. it is our intention to detach the sidewalk and place it in all
easement outside of the public right-of-way. We believe there is adequate time to coordinate
the design and construction of the sidewalk with the Design Department, therefore waiving
the condition to make a Trust Fund Deposit. We request the flexibility to choose between:
a. coordinate the design and construction of the Locust Grove sidewalk with District Staff,
or
b. make the Trust !Fund Deposit as identified in the Site Specific Conditions.
We respectfully request your consideration of these two items. 1 look feirward to discussing
these matters with the ACHD Commission on Wednesday December 11, 2002.

7. Roadway Improvements Adjacent To and Near the Site
Locust Grove Road is currently improved with 28-feet of pavement (no center turn lane) with no curb,
gutter or sidewalk abutting the site.

8. Existing Right -of -Way
There is approximately 50-feet of right-of-way (25-feet from centerline) for Locust Grove Road
abutting the site.
9. Existing Access to the Site
There are three existing driveways into the site, one for each existing residence. The first driveway is
located approximately 50-feet north of the south property line. The second driveway is located
approximately 250-feet north of the south property line. The third driveway is located approximately
400-feet north of south property line.
10. Site History
ACHD reviewed this site in February of 2001 as a rezone, preliminary plat and conditional use. That
application was for 180 multi -family units and commercial sites. A center turn lane in Locust Grove
Road was required with that application. In addition, Scrivner Avenue was not to be extended into the
site from Danbury Fair Subdivision because it would have been extended into proposed commercial
buildings (see Original Site Plan).
11. Five Year Work Program
Locust Grove Road, from Fairview Avenue to Franklin Road, is currently in the Five Year Work
Program for roadway improvements in 2006. Rather than constructing improvements on Locust
Grove Road, the applicant should be required to road trust for any required improvements.
12. Other Development in Area/Miscellaneous
In 2000 the ACHD reviewed and approved a 40-unit apartment complex just to the northwest of the
site (Penn Station Apartments, MCUP00-028). Access to that project is provided from Stonehenge
Way.
B. Findings for Consideration
1. Surrounding Properties
To the west of the site is a commercial apartment complex, Penn Station, that has access on to
Stonehenge Way via a driveway. To the north of the site are commercial businesses, which are
separated from this site by Settlers Canal and the Flume Canal
There is a stub street (Scrivner Avenue) that stubs to this parcel on the south side of the site, and
does not extend to the proposed subdivision. District policy 7203.5.2 requires an existing street, or a
street in an approved preliminary plat, which ends at a boundary of a proposed development to be
extended into that development.
Request for Waiver of Policy: The applicant is asking for a waiver of District policy to extend Scriver
Avenue into the site. The reasons for this request are fourfold: the applicant is providing intra-
neighborhood circulation by providing pedestrian access to Scrivner Avenue; the extension of
Scrivner Avenue into the site is not needed for vehicular access since the site has sufficient frontage
on Locust Grove Road; Scrivner Avenue, in its current configuration, is not long enough to require a
turnaround; and some of the residents in Danbury Fair Subdivision have concerns about cut -through
traffic (see Applicant's Letter). In addition, the Commission did not require the extension of Scrivner
Avenue with the previous application in 2001.
Staff Analysis and Recommendation: In accordance with District policy, staff originally required the
applicant to extend Scrivner Avenue as a public street into the subject site from its existing terminus
3
in Danbury Fair Subdivision. Since the original draft report the applicant has submitted a letter stating
why the extension of Scrivner Avenue is not a reasonable requirement. Although staff does believe
that vehicular intra-neighborhood connectivity is important, in this case it may not be feasible.
Because the applicant is proposing private streets for the lots within the proposed subdivision,
extending Scrivner Avenue as a public street to connect to the streets in Locust Grove Place is not a
viable option. This connection would connect two public streets (Locust Grove Place and Scrivner
Avenue) via a private street (Drucker Street). This is not the ideal situation since the general public
does not have an easement for ingress/egress across Drucker Street as it is not proposed to be set
apart for public use, only private use. Because the applicant is providing pedestrian access to
Scrivner Street from the site and because Drucker Street is a proposed private street, staff
recommends that the Commission grant the applicant a waiver of District policy for the requirement to
extend Scrivner Street into the site.
2. Access Points
The applicant is proposing to construct private streets off of Locust Grove Road to serve the
development. The proposed private streets are located approximately 100-feet south of the north
property line, and approximately 120-feet north of the south property line. The proposed private street
sections are 29-feet wide with curb, gutter and 4-foot wide sidewalks. Other than the conflict with
District policy stated in Findings for Consideration #1, staff supports the proposal for private streets
serving this development.
District Policy
District policy 7205.6, requires that other jurisdictions 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.
District policy 72-F5, requires driveways located on collector or arterial roadways with a speed limit of
35 to align or offset a minimum of 150-feet from any existing or proposed driveway. District policy
7204.11.6 requires local streets on arterial roadways to offset a minimum of 300-feet from other
streets. The applicant is proposing to construct Locust View Street on the north side of the
development approximately 300-feet from the proposed Drucker Street on the south side of the
development. The proposed location of Locust View Street is only 120-feet offset from an existing
driveway on the east side of Locust Grove Road when 150-feet is required by policy. In addition, the
proposed location of Drucker Street is only 120-feet offset from another existing driveway on the east
side of Locust Grove Road.
Request for Modification of Policy. The applicant has proposed to construct two private
roads/driveways on Locust Grove Road that meet District policy for spacing between streets but they
do not meet policy for spacing between driveways. Staff is recommending that the applicant be
allowed to construct Locust View Street and Drucker Street in the locations proposed because the
proposed locations have been determined to be the safest locations on the site. The proposed
access points will have higher traffic volumes than the existing driveways on the east side of Locust
Grove Road, and the property which the driveways serve is expected to redevelop in the near future.
When the property on the east side of Locust Grove Road redevelops it is anticipated that the District
will require that applicant to close the existing driveways and provide access to the site in
conformance with District policy.
Graveled private roads abutting public streets create maintenance problems due to gravel being
tracked onto the roadway. In accordance with District policy, if Ada County approves the private
roads, the applicant should be required to pave the roadways a minimum of 24-feet wide and at least
30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of Locust Grove Road and install pavement tapers
4
with 15-foot radii abutting the existing roadway edge. The applicant should provide a plan showing
how the private road grade meets the public road. District Policy requires a design approach speed
of 20 MPH and a maximum intersection approach grade of 2% for at least 40-feet.
Street name and stop signs are required for the private road. The signs may be ordered through the
District at the cost of $240. Verification of the correct, approved name of the road is required.
ACHD does not make any assurances that the private road that 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.
The applicant should provide the District with a copy of a recorded access easement among the
parcels for use of the private road for access to the public street prior to final plat approval.
3. Right -of -Way
District policy requires 96-feet of right-of-way on arterial roadways (Figure 72-171B). This right-of-way
allows for the construction of a 5-lane roadway with curb, gutter, 5-foot concrete detached sidewalks
and bike lanes. The applicant should be required to dedicate 48-feet of right-of-way for Locust Grove
Road abutting the site. ACHD should purchase this right-of-way because Locust Grove Road is
currently in the Five Year Work Program.
4. Sidewalk
District policy requires 5-foot wide (minimum) concrete sidewalk on all arterial streets (7204.6.5). Due
to the fact that Locust Grove Road is within the District's Five Year Work Program, the applicant
should provide a Public Right's -of -Way Road Trust for the construction of 5-foot concrete sidewalk
abutting the site or coordinate the location and design of the sidewalk with District staff if the applicant
chooses to construct the sidewalk.
5. Center Turn Lane
A center turn lane was required with the previously submitted plat for this site. It has been determined
that the warrants for requiring a center left turn lane are no longer met with this application and
therefore the applicant should not be required to construct them with this application. NOTE: Locust
Grove Road is currently in the Five Year Work Program for improvements in 2006.
C. Site Specific Conditions of Approval
1. Dedicate 48-feet of right-of-way from the centerline of Locust Grove Road abutting the parcel
by means of a warranty deed. The right-of-way purchase and sale agreement and deed must
be completed and signed by the applicant prior to scheduling the final plat for signature by
the ACHD Commission or prior to issuance of a building permit (or other required permits),
whichever occurs first. Allow up to 30 business days to process the right-of-way dedication
after receipt of all requested material. The owner will be paid the fair market value of the
right-of-way dedicated which is an addition to existing ACHD right-of-way if the owner
submits a letter of application to the impact fee administrator prior to breaking ground, in
5
accordance with the ACHD Ordinance in effect at that time (currently Ordinance #196), if
funds are available.
2. Either provide an $8,800.00 Public Right's -of -Way Road Trust deposit for the construction of
5-foot concrete sidewalk abutting the site (approximately 440-feet) prior to issuance of a
building permit, or District approval of a final plat, OR construct a 5-foot wide detached
concrete sidewalk on Locust Grove Road abutting the site. The sidewalk shall be located 2-
feet within the new right-of-way and at the correct vertical difference from the center of the
road (see District staff). Coordinate the location and design of the sidewalk with District
Design staff (387-6225). If the sidewalk is constructed outside of the right-of-way, the
applicant must provide an easement.
3. Construct Drucker Street to intersect Locust Grove Road approximately 120-feet north of the
south property line, as proposed. Pave Drucker Street a minimum of 24-feet wide and at
least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of Locust Grove Road and install
pavement tapers with 15-foot radii abutting the existing roadway edge. The applicant shall
provide a plan showing how the private road grade meets the public road. District Policy
requires a -design approach speed of 20 MPH and a maximum intersection approach grade
of 2% for at least 40-feet.
4. Construct Locust View Street to intersect Locust Grove Road approximately 100-feet south
of the north property line, as proposed. Pave Locust View Street a minimum of 24-feet wide
and at least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of Locust Grove Road and
install pavement tapers with 15-foot radii abutting the existing roadway edge. The applicant
shall provide a plan showing how the private road grade meets the public road. District
Policy requires a design approach speed of 20 MPH and a maximum intersection approach
grade of 2% for at least 40-feet.
5. The applicant shall provide the District with a copy of a recorded cross access easement for
the parcels within the development to use the private roads within the development for
access to the public street system.
6. Other than the private streets approved with this application, direct lot or parcel access to
Locust Grove Road is prohibited. Lot access restrictions, as required with this application,
shall be stated on the final plat.
7. Comply with all Standard Conditions of Approval.
D. Standard Conditions of Approval
Any existing irrigation facilities shall be relocated outside of the right-of-way.
2. All utility relocation costs associated with improving street frontages abutting the site shall be borne
by the developer.
C.
3. Replace any existing damaged curb, gutter and sidewalk and any that may be damaged during the
construction of the proposed development. Contact Construction Services at 387-6280 (with file
number) for details.
4. Utility street cuts in pavement less than five years old are not allowed unless approved in writing by
the District. Contact Construction Services at 387-6280 (with file numbers) for details.
5. All design and construction shall be in accordance with the Ada County Highway District Policy
Manual, ISPWC Standards and approved supplements, Construction Services procedures and all
applicable ACHD Ordinances unless specifically waived herein. An engineer registered in the State
of Idaho shall prepare and certify all improvement plans.
6. The applicant shall submit revised plans for staff approval, prior to issuance of building permit (or
other required permits), which incorporates any required design changes.
7. Construction, use and property development shall be in conformance with all applicable requirements
of the Ada County Highway District prior to District approval for occupancy.
8. Payment of applicable road impact fees are required prior to building construction in accordance with
Ordinance #195, also known as Ada County Highway District Road Impact Fee Ordinance.
9. It is the responsibility of the applicant to verify all existing utilities within the right-of-way. Existing
utilities damaged by the applicant shall be repaired by the applicant at no cost to ACHD. The
applicant shall be required to call DIGLINE at least two full business days prior to breaking ground
within ACHD right-of-way. The applicant shall contact ACHD Traffic Operations 387-6190 in the
event any ACHD conduits (spare or filled) are compromised during any phase of construction.
10. No change in the terms and conditions of this approval shall be valid unless they are in writing and
signed by the applicant or the applicant's authorized representative and an authorized representative
of the Ada County Highway District. The burden shall be upon the applicant to obtain written
confirmation of any change from the Ada County Highway District.
11. Any change by the applicant in the planned use of the property which is the subject of this
application, shall require the applicant to comply with all rules, regulations, ordinances, plans, or other
regulatory and legal restrictions in force at the time the applicant or its successors in interest advises
the Highway District of its intent to change the planned use of the subject property unless a
waiver/variance of said requirements or other legal relief is granted pursuant to the law in effect at the
time the change in use is sought.
E. Conclusions of Law
The proposed site plan is approved, if all of the Site Specific and Standard Conditions of Approval are
satisfied.
2. ACHD requirements are intended to assure that the proposed use/development will not place an
undue burden on the existing vehicular and pedestrian transportation system within the vicinity
impacted by the proposed development.

Dear Mr. Hood:
(208) 344-3922
p.2
Tclq)hone: 208 :344-3448 Fax: 208-3,14-3922
I have reviewed the draft staff report presented to me on November 15, 2002. 1 provide the
following comments:
1. Extension of Scrivner Avenue.
Section A — Finding of Fact No. 10 indicates that Scrivner Avenue in Danbury Fair
Subdivision was not required for extension in the previous application because of the sitting
of a commercial building. That statement needs further clarification. There was
neighborhood concern regarding cut -through -traffic from the commercial buildings and
apartments. The solution to that issue was to not extend the street, but to provide only a
pedestrian access. A commercial building was sited in that location only it was
determined that the street should not be extended.
Section B —Findings for Consideration No. 1 and Section C — Site Specific Condition No. 5
state the requirement to extend Scrivner Ave into this site based on policy. Because locust
Grove Place Subdivision has a private street system, it is logical that if the Scrivner were
extended that it would not connect to Drucker Street. Therefore, a turnaround for Scrivner
would need to be provided on locust Grove Place Subdivision property. We disagree with
this requirement.
ACHD Policy 7205.5 addresses stub streets, specifically intra-neighborhood circulation and
the provision of access to adjoining properties. We request District Policy 7203.5.2 be
modified for the following reasons:
a. Intro-neigahborhood circuhativn. Locust Grove Place Subdivision will have a sidewalk
connection to the terminus of Scrivner Avenue. This promotes the best kind of "intra-
neighborhood circulation," pedestrian access.
i LS�CANJN'S LE-Tsi %P.,, OrN
Nov-22 02 04:05p Wardle & Rssociates
(208) 344-3922 p.3
b. No access required. i.,ocust Grove Place Subdivision does not need to utilize Scrivner
Avenue for vehicular access. In fact, all vehicular traffic generated on site will access
Locust Grove Road from Drucker Street or Locust View Street.
c. No turnaround required. Scrivner Avenue, in its current configuration, does not require
a turnaround. ACI ID Policy 7205.5 states:
"Stub streets will conform with requirements in Section 7204.5, and
720.1.6 and 7204.7, except a temporary cul-de-sac will not be required, if
Me stub street has a length no greater than the depth of one lot or 150
feet. "
In this case Scrivner Avenue is less than 150 feet and is not greater than the depth of one
lot. Therefore, a turnaround is not required, and Scrivner Avenue should not be
extended.
d. Veikhhorhood concerns. Previously, to address the possibility of cut -through traffic, a
compromise was made between all parties, including the developer, neighborhood, City
of Meridian & ACHD. That compromise was reflected in the staff report by not
requiring the connection to Scrivner. The best solution was the inclusion of a pedestrian
connection.
Therefore, we request that, given the aforementioned reasons, District Policy 7203.5.2 be
modified, that Scrivner Avenue not be extended into this property, and that no turnaround be
required.
2. Trust Fund Deposit for Locust (:rove Road Sidewalk.
Section B — Findings for Consideration No. 4 and Section C — Site Specific Condition No. 2
require the applicant to deposit $8,800 for the future sidewalk adjacent to Locust Grove
Road. Per my conversation with Steve Spickelmier, Locust Grove Road will begin design in
2003, with construction in 2006. It is our intention to detach the sidewalk and place it in an
easement outside of the public right-of-way. We believe there is adequate time to coordinate
the design and constriction of the sidewalk with the Design Department, therefore waiving
the condition to make a Trust Fund Deposit. We request the flexibility to choose between:
a. coordinate the design and construction of the Locust Grove sidewalk with District Staff,
or
b. make the "Trust Fund Deposit as identified in the Site Specific Conditions.
We respectfully request your consideration of these two items. I look forward to discussing
these matters with the ACHD Commission on Wednesday December 11, 2002.

Request for Reconsideration of Commission Action
Request for Reconsideration of Commission Action: A Commissioner, a member of ACHD staff
or any other person objecting to any final action taken by the Commission may request
reconsideration of that action, provided the request is not for a reconsideration of an action previously
requested to be reconsidered, an action whose provisions have been partly and materially carried
out, or an action that has created a contractual relationship with third parties.
a. Only a Commission member who voted with the prevailing side can move for reconsideration,
but the motion may be seconded by any Commissioner and is voted on by all Commissioners
present.
If a motion to reconsider is made and seconded it is subject to a motion to postpone to a
certain time.
b. The request must be in writing and delivered to the Secretary of the Highway District no later
than 3:00 p.m. on the day prior to the Commission's next scheduled regular meeting following
the meeting at which the action to be reconsidered was taken. Upon receipt of the request,
the Secretary shall cause the same to be placed on the agenda for that next scheduled
regular Commission meeting.
c. The request for reconsideration must be supported by written documentation setting forth new
facts and information not presented at the earlier meeting, or a changed situation that has
developed since the taking of the earlier vote, or information establishing an error of fact or
law in the earlier action. The request may also be supported by oral testimony at the meeting.
d. If a motion to reconsider passes, the effect is the original matter is in the exact position it
occupied the moment before it was voted on originally. It will normally be returned to ACHD
staff for further review. The Commission may set the date of the meeting at which the matter
is to be returned. The Commission shall only take action on the original matter at a meeting
where the agenda notice so provides.
e. At the meeting where the original matter is again on the agenda for Commission action,
interested persons and ACHD staff may present such written and oral testimony as the
President of the Commission determines to be appropriate, and the Commission may take
any action the majority of the Commission deems advisable.
If a motion to reconsider passes, the applicant may be charged a reasonable fee, to cover
administrative costs, as established by the Commission.

STORM WATER MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that storm water be pre-treated through a grassy swale
prior to discharge to the subsurface to prevent impact to ground water and
surface water quality. The engineers and architects involved with the design
of this project should obtain current best management practices for storm
water disposal and design a storm water management system that is
preventing groundwater and surface water degradation. Manuals that could
be used for guidance are:

Idaho Cities and Counties.

RE: Land Use Change Application — Locust Grove Place Subdivision NOV 13 2002
Dear Mr. Stanfield:
City Of Meridian
City Clerk Office
Enclosed please find a Land Use Change Application for your use to file with the Irrigation
District for its review on the above -referenced development. If this development is under a
"rush" to be finalized, I would recommend that you submit a cashier's check, money order or
cash as payment of the fees in order to speed the process up. If you submit a company or
personal check, it must clear the bank before processing the application.
Should this development be planning a pressure urban irrigation system that will be owned,
operated and maintained by the Irrigation District, I strongly urge you to coordinate with John P.
Anderson, Water Superintendent for the Irrigation District, concerning the installation of the
pressure system. Enclosed is a questionnaire that you must fill out and return in order to initiate
the process of contractual agreements between the owner or developer and the Irrigation
District for the ownership, operation and maintenance of the pressure urban irrigation system.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please feel free to call on me at the District's
office, or John P. Anderson, at the District's shop.
