Victory Road from Eagle Road to Cloverdale Road is scheduled to be widened to 5 lanes between 2009 to 2013. B. Findings for Consideration 1. Eagle Road Right -of -Way Policy: District policy requires 96-feet of right-of-way on arterial roadways (Figure 72- F1 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. Sidewalk Policy: District policy requires 7-foot wide attached (or 5-foot detached) concrete sidewalk on all collector roadways and arterial roadways (7204.7.2). Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing a 7-foot concrete sidewalk along Eagle Road Staff Comment/Recommendations: The applicant will not be required to dedicate any additional right-of-way for Eagle Road abutting the site. The applicant will be required to construct a 5-foot detached concrete sidewalk, a minimum of 41-feet from the centerline of the roadway OR, provide the District with a road trust in the amount of $9,600 for construction of the sidewalk with the District's scheduled intersection project. 2. Victory Road Right -of -Way Policy: District policy requires 96-feet of right-of-way on arterial roadways (Figure 72- F1 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. Sidewalk Policy: District policy requires 7-foot wide attached (or 5-foot detached) concrete sidewalk on all collector roadways and arterial roadways (7204.7.2). Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing a 7-foot concrete sidewalk along Victory Road. Staff Comment/Recommendations: The applicant will not be required to dedicate any additional right-of-way for Victory Road abutting the site. The applicant will be required to construct a 5-foot detached concrete sidewalk, a minimum of 41-feet from the centerline of the roadway OR, provide the District with a road trust in the amount of $10,000 for construction of the sidewalk with the District's scheduled intersection project. 3. Driveways Driveway Policy: Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance problems due to gravel being tracked onto the roadway. In accordance with District policy, 7207.9.1, 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 with 15-foot radii abuttingtang roadway edge. the existing Arterial/Collector Roadway Access Policy: District policy 7207.8 states that direct access arterials and collectors is normally restricted. The developer shall try to use combined ato crrees ss points. Shops at Victory If the developer can show that the use of a combined access point to a collector or arterial street is impractical, the District may consider direct access points. Access points for proposed developments at intersections should be located as far from the intersection as practical, and in no case closer than as illustrated on Figure 72-F4, unless a waiver for the access point has been approved by the District Commission. Signalized Access Policy: District policy 72-F4 (1) requires driveways located on arterial roadways near a signalized intersection to be located a minimum of 440-feet from the signalized intersection for a full -access driveway and a minimum of 220-feet from the signalized intersection for a right-in/right- out only driveway. Successive Driveway Policy (Victory Road): District policy 72-F5, requires driveways located on collector or arterial roadways with a speed limit of 40 to align or offset a minimum of 185-feet from any existing or proposed driveway. Successive Driveway Policy (Eagle Road): District policy 72-F5, requires driveways located on collector or arterial roadways with a speed limit of 50 to align or offset a minimum of 255-feet from any existing or proposed driveway. Commercial Driveway Width Policy: District policy 7207.9.3 restricts commercial driveways with daily traffic volumes over 1,000 vehicles to a maximum width of 36-feet. Most commercial driveways will be constructed as curb -cut type facilities if located on local streets. Curb return type driveways with 15-foot radii will be required for driveways accessing collector and arterial roadways. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing two driveway accesses to intersect Eagle Road, and two driveway accesses to intersect Victory Road. The applicant is proposing to construct the first driveway access to intersect Eagle Road is approximately 220-feet south of the northernmost property line (measured property line to near edge) and 38-feet in width. The applicant is proposing to construct the second driveway access to intersect Eagle Road is approximately 427-feet from the northernmost property line (measured property line to near edge) and 35-feet in width. The applicant is proposing to construct the first driveway access to intersect Victory Road is approximately 215-feet from the westernmost property line (measured property line to near edge) and 38-feet in width. The applicant is proposing to construct the second driveway access to intersect Victory Road is approximately 25.5-feet from the easternmost property line (measured property line to near edge) and 34.9-feet in width. Staff Comment/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal is consistent with the access points identified on the District's approved intersection project plans and meet's District policy. The access points were provided for in the right-of-way negotiations and the purchase and sale agreement for the right--of-way acquired from this parcel for the intersection project. While the access points meet District policy, upon review of this development application and specific site layout it appears an alternative may provide better access to and circulation within the site. Staff recommends that instead of one right-in/right-out driveway and one full access driveway on both Eagle and Victory Roads the applicant construct one full access driveway on Eagle Road and one on Victory Road located a minimum of 315-feet from the near edge from the new curb line (measured near edge to near edge). Reducing the number of driveways and changing the locations provides centralized access to the site and would improve circulation within the site. If the applicant chooses to move forward with the 4-driveways as proposed, then the driveway located 220-feet from north property line on Eagle Road and 215-feet from the west property line on Victory Road will be immediately restricted to right-in/right-out. The applicant will be required to install a 6-inch raised median from the intersection back 50-feet beyond the driveways to restrict the turn movements. Coordinate the design and ultimate location of the raised median with District Development Review and Traffic Services staff. The applicant. will be required to pave the driveways 4 their full widths and at least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of the roadway and. Shops at Victory install pavement tapers with 15-foot radii abutting the existing roadway edge. Commercial driveways are restricted to a width of 36-feet. 4. Tree Planters Tree Planter Policy: The District's Tree Planter Width Interim 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. 5. Other Access Eagle Road is classified as a principal arterial roadway. Other than the access specifically approved with this application, direct lot access is prohibited to this roadway.
