Findings of Fact ... 1. Description of Application: The applicant is requesting approval of an annexation and rezone application to annex 40.3 acres with R-40 (13.04 acres) and C-C (27.25 acres) zoning to develop 42 multi-family low-rise units, 517 multi-family midrise units and townhomes, 73,825 square feet of retail, 46,600 square feet of office space, 5,000 square feet of for a bank, and 9,250 square feet for fast food. The City of Meridian's Future Land Use Map designates this area as high density residential. 2. Description of Adjacent Surrounding Area: Direction I Land Use Zoning North Neighborhood Business C-N South Community Business C-C East General Retail/Service Commercial C-G West High Density Residential R-40 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: 1 The 10 at Meridian M PP20-0040/H-2021-0025 • TM Center Subdivision, 9 high-density residential lots, 74 commercial lots and 2 common lots on 132.42 acres located directly southeast of the site and approved by ACHD in August 2020. • TM Creek Subdivision, 49 lots for mixed use office, retail, and high density residential on 41 acres located directly west of the site and was approved by ACHD in February 2014. • TM Crossing Subdivision, 50 commercial lots on 75 acres located southeast of the site and approved by ACHD in March 2013. • Gateway at 10 Mile, a mixed-use commercial and high density development for 440 multi- family units and townhomes on 41.28 acres located northeast of the site and is currently under review. 5. Transit: Transit services are available to serve this site via Route 40. 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 0.0 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): There are no roadways, bridges or intersections in the general vicinity of the project that are in the Integrated Five Year Work Plan (IFYWP) or the District's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). 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 Ten Mile Road and Franklin Road as Level 2 facilities that will be constructed as part of a future ACHD project. This segment of Ten Mile Road has bike lanes. 2 The 10 at Meridian M PP20-0040/H-2021-0025 B. Traffic Findings for Consideration 1. Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate 5,139 additional vehicle trips per day, 560 trips in the AM peak hour and 464 trips in the PM peak hour additional vehicle trips per hour, based on the traffic impact study. 2. Traffic Impact Study Kittelson & Associates, Inc. prepared a traffic impact study for the proposed The 10 at Meridian development. The preliminary plat application has not yet been submitted for this development. The executive summary of the findings as presented by Kittelson &Associates is in Attachment 3. The executive summary is not the opinion of ACHD staff. ACHD has reviewed the submitted traffic impact study for consistency with ACHD policies and practices, and may have additional requirements beyond what is noted in the summary with the future development application. The Traffic Impact Study will be reviewed and addressed in detail in the staff report for the future development application. a. Staff Comments/Recommendations: ACHD staff has completed the review of the traffic impact study for the proposed development. ACHD does not set site specific conditions of approval for rezoning and annexation applications and only provides feedback and comments on the applicant's proposal based on District Policy. Staff has the following comments based on the findings and recommendations of the study. Access points and improvements for the development will be determined at the time of the review of the future development application. Access The District's Number of Driveways on Arterials Policy limits the number of driveways on arterial roadways to those that are necessary to serve the site. In pre-application meetings with the applicant, staff recommended that the applicant revise their site layout to be oriented to use Cobalt Drive as the main access point and that the applicant provide analyses to show that additional access points are necessary to serve the site, consistent with the District's Number of Access Points on arterial roadways, District Policy 7205.4.4. The applicant did not revise the site plan per staff recommendations, but did provide analyses for different access scenarios. The study shows that access on Cobalt Drive and Access A on Franklin Road are necessary to serve the site and both access points will operate acceptably under 2023 total traffic conditions. The study recommends restricting Cobalt Drive on Ten Mile Road to right- in/right-out/left-in only and Access A be a full access for this access scenario. However, staff also has concerns about the operation at Access A and the Ten Mile Road and Franklin Road intersection in the future given the rapid increasing development in the area. Therefore, staff also supports additional restricted access onto Ten Mile Road and Franklin Road in order to help alleviate future traffic concerns at Access A and at the intersection of Ten Mile Road and Franklin Road. Staff would consider the following access scenario: Access C as right-out only, Access D as right-in/right-out only, and Access B as right-in/right-out only. Approval of access points will be determined at the time of the review of the future development application. The intersection of Ten Mile Road and Franklin Road will meet ACHD's acceptable v/c ratio of 0.90 for an intersection in the PM peak hour for the above access scenario with Access A and Cobalt Drive, and barely exceeds ACHD acceptable v/c ratio of 0.90 in the AM peak hour with a v/c ratio of 0.93. See the Ten Mile Road/Franklin Road intersection section below. The study also recommends restricting Cobalt Drive to right-in/right-out/left-in only on Ten Mile Road to mitigate the existing traffic conditions. Requirements for this intersection will be determined at the time of the future development application. 3 The 10 at Meridian M PP20-0040/H-2021-0025 m 48C F a45C pp � KLIN ROAD L7 .. =wul 1111 F. bi µ~� h.IIM,I I i'Az 1411I IIY�III I '_ .. 1 N&&. 3FIV�[lIf� I llll ull�I l l'Irnn-MIII COBALT DRIVE Accesses proposed for the development onto Ten Mile Road and Franklin Road. Ten Mile Road/Franklin Road The study recommends adding an eastbound right-turn overlap phase to the signal at the intersection of Ten Mile Road/Franklin Road to mitigate the 2023 total traffic conditions in the scenario with all of the proposed access points. However, the intersection meets ACHD's acceptable v/c ratios in the PM peak hour under the 2023 total buildout traffic for the scenario where the development has only Access A on Franklin Road and access onto Cobalt Drive (restricted to right-in/right-out/left-in only on Ten Mile Road), however it barely exceeds acceptable thresholds in the AM peak hour with a v/c ratio of 0.93. The traffic impact study shows that the eastbound, westbound, southbound and northbound right turn lanes at this intersection do not have enough storage length under the 2023 total traffic conditions and recommends adding an eastbound right-turn overlap phase to the traffic signal at the intersection. The site traffic only contributes to the eastbound right-turn and southbound right- turn lanes. With the future development application, the applicant should be required to lengthen the eastbound right-turn lane to 450-feet, consistent with the TIS recommendations, on Franklin Road abutting the site so that there is adequate storage length. Typically, the applicant would be required to length the southbound right-turn lane, but that segment does not abut the site and there is not enough existing right-of-way to lengthen the southbound right-turn lane on Ten Mile Road Ten Mile Road The study notes that the segment of Ten Mile Road south of Franklin Road exceeds ACHD's Acceptable Level of Service (LOS) Thresholds under the 2023 background traffic conditions in the PM peak hour, but meets ACHD LOS thresholds in the shoulder hour. This roadway segment is already fully improved with 5-lanes consistent with the Master Street Map. Therefore, consistent with District's Alternative Mitigation Policy 7106.7.3, the applicant recommended alternative 4 The 10 at Meridian M PP20-0040/H-2021-0025 mitigation measures which included multi-use pathways within the site, widening the sidewalk on Ten Mile Road and connecting sidewalk and bike lane gaps within the vicinity of the development. The requirements for alternative mitigation measures with this development will be determined at the time of the review of the future development application. Ten Mile Road/1-84 Interchange The Ten Mile Road and 1-84 interchange exceeds the Idaho Transportation Department LOS thresholds under the 2023 background and total traffic conditions. The study shows that the southbound left-turn lane does not have adequate storage under the 2023 background and 2023 total traffic conditions. Currently, ITD and ACHD do not have plans to improve the interchange. Approximately 700-feet of storage is needed for this turn lane, which extends outside of ITD's right- of-way extents for the interchange and into ACHD's right-of-way. The landscape median with ACHD's right-of-way on Ten Mile Road would be required to be removed to lengthen the storage for the southbound left-turn lane. This will be further evaluated with the future development application and may be required as part of the future development application. 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 Ten Mile Road south of Franklin Road was 36,035 on 10/27/2020. • The average daily traffic count for Franklin Road west of Ten Mile Road was 13,963 on 10/27/2020. C. Findings for Consideration This application is for annexation and rezone only. Listed below are some findings for consideration that the District may identify when it reviews future development applications. The District may add additional findings for consideration when it reviews a specific redevelopment application. 1. Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan The transportation element of the TMISAP is to guide transportation decisions in the Ten Mile Interchange Area. It was developed concurrently with the Land Use and Design Elements and has been designed to preserve the integrity of the arterial road system and the proposed Ten Mile interchange; provide for the use of public transit; enhance pedestrian and bicycle mobility and accessibility; and create transportation infrastructure and promote land use patterns that encourage the sustainable use of resources and reduces demands on natural resources. 5 The 10 at Meridian MPP20-0040/H-2021-0025 The TMISAP recommends the construction of an east/west collector roadway from Ten Mile Road through the site to stub to the site's south property line. The applicant has proposed to construct the east/west collector roadway, Cobalt Drive, from Ten Mile Road extending through the site to stub to the site's south property line, consistent with the TMISAP and MSM. 2. 1-84 Interchange The 1-84 Interchange on Ten Mile 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 for the interchange with the future development application. The Ten Mile Road and 1-84 interchange exceeds the Idaho Transportation Department LOS thresholds under the 2023 background and total traffic conditions. The study shows that the southbound left-turn lane does not have adequate storage under the 2023 background and 2023 total traffic conditions. Currently, ITD and ACHD do not have plans to improve the interchange. Approximately 700-feet of storage is needed for this turn lane, which extends outside of ITD's right-of-way extents for the interchange and into ACHD's right-of-way. The landscape median within ACHD's right-of-way on Ten Mile Road would be required to be removed to lengthen the storage for the southbound left-turn lane. This will be evaluated further with the future development application and may be required as part of the future development application. 3. Ten Mile Road/Franklin Road Intersection The traffic impact study shows that the eastbound, westbound, southbound and northbound right turn lanes at this intersection do not have enough storage length under the 2023 total traffic conditions and recommends adding an eastbound right-turn overlap phase to the traffic signal at the intersection. The site traffic only contributes to the eastbound right-turn and southbound right- turn lanes. With the future development application, the applicant should be required to lengthen the eastbound right-turn lane to 450-feet, consistent with the TIS recommendations, on Franklin Road abutting the site so that there is adequate storage length. Typically, the applicant would be required to length the southbound right-turn lane, but that segment does not abut the site and there is not enough existing right-of-way to lengthen the southbound right-turn lane on Ten Mile Road. 4. Ten Mile Road a. Existing Conditions: Ten Mile Road is improved with 5-travel lanes with bike lanes, vertical curb, gutter and a 7-foot wide attached asphalt path abutting the site. There is 100 to 120-feet of right-of-way for Ten Mile Road (50 to 70-feet from centerline). b. Policy: Arterial Roadway Policy: District Policy 7205.2.1 states that the developer is responsible for improving all street frontages adjacent to the site regardless of whether or not access is taken to all of the adjacent streets. Master Street Map and Typology Policy: District Policy 7205.5 states that the design of improvements for arterials shall be in accordance with District standards, including the Master Street Map and Livable Streets Design Guide. The developer or engineer should contact the District before starting any design. Street Section and Right-of-Way Width Policy: District Policies 7205.2.1 & 7205.5.2 state that the standard 5-lane street section shall be 72-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb)within 96- feet of right-of-way. This width typically accommodates two travel lanes in each direction, a continuous center left-turn lane, and bike lanes on a minor arterial and a safety shoulder on a principal arterial. Right-of-Way Dedication: District Policy 7205.2 states that The District will provide compensation for additional right-of-way dedicated beyond the existing right-of-way along arterials listed as impact fee eligible in the adopted Capital Improvements Plan using available impact fee revenue in the Impact Fee Service Area. 6 The 10 at Meridian M PP20-0040/H-2021-0025 No compensation will be provided for right-of-way on an arterial that is not listed as impact fee eligible in the Capital Improvements Plan. The District may acquire additional right-of-way beyond the site-related needs to preserve a corridor for future capacity improvements, as provided in Section 7300. Sidewalk Policy: District Policy 7205.5.7 requires a concrete sidewalk at least 5-feet wide to be constructed on both sides of all arterial 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. 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. ACHD Master Street Map: ACHD Policy Section 3111.1 requires the Master Street Map (MSM) guide the right-of-way acquisition, arterial street requirements, and specific roadway features required through development. This segment of Ten Mile Road is designated in the MSM as a Residential Mobility Arterial with 5-lanes, a 72-foot street section within 100-feet of right-of-way. c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: Ten Mile Road is fully improved with 5-lanes, vertical curb, gutter and a 7-foot wide attached asphalt path abutting the site with at least 110-feet of right-of-way consistent with the MSM. The traffic impact study showed that this segment of Ten Mile Road exceeds ACHD LOS thresholds for the PM peak hour starting with the 2023 background traffic, but meets thresholds for the shoulder hour. The applicant recommended widening the sidewalk on Ten Mile Road, constructing multi-use pathways with the development and connecting sidewalk and bike lane gaps within 1.5 miles of the development as alternative mitigation measures consistent with the District's Alternative Mitigation Measures Policy. Additional improvements to Ten Mile Road will be evaluated at the time of the review of the future development application based on the recommendations of the traffic impact study. Consistent with the District's Minor Improvements Policy, the applicant should be required to replace any broken or deteriorated segments of curb, gutter and/or sidewalk on Ten Mile Road abutting the site with the future development application. 5. Franklin Road a. Existing Conditions: Franklin Road is improved with 5-lanes with vertical curb, gutter and a 7-foot wide attached concrete sidewalk abutting the site within the influence area of the intersection transitioning to a 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk for the remaining site frontage. There is 118 to 133-feet of right-of-way and permanent right-of-way easements for Franklin Road (50 to 65-feet from centerline). b. Policy: 7 The 10 at Meridian MPP20-0040/H-2021-0025 Arterial Roadway Policy: District Policy 7205.2.1 states that the developer is responsible for improving all street frontages adjacent to the site regardless of whether or not access is taken to all of the adjacent streets. Master Street Map and Typology Policy: District Policy 7205.5 states that the design of improvements for arterials shall be in accordance with District standards, including the Master Street Map and Livable Streets Design Guide. The developer or engineer should contact the District before starting any design. Street Section and Right-of-Way Width Policy: District Policies 7205.2.1 & 7205.5.2 state that the standard 5-lane street section shall be 72-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb)within 96- feet of right-of-way. This width typically accommodates two travel lanes in each direction, a continuous center left-turn lane, and bike lanes on a minor arterial and a safety shoulder on a principal arterial. Right-of-Way Dedication: District Policy 7205.2 states that The District will provide compensation for additional right-of-way dedicated beyond the existing right-of-way along arterials listed as impact fee eligible in the adopted Capital Improvements Plan using available impact fee revenue in the Impact Fee Service Area. No compensation will be provided for right-of-way on an arterial that is not listed as impact fee eligible in the Capital Improvements Plan. The District may acquire additional right-of-way beyond the site-related needs to preserve a corridor for future capacity improvements, as provided in Section 7300. Sidewalk Policy: District Policy 7205.5.7 requires a concrete sidewalk at least 5-feet wide to be constructed on both sides of all arterial 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. 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. ACHD Master Street Map: ACHD Policy Section 3111.1 requires the Master Street Map (MSM) guide the right-of-way acquisition, arterial street requirements, and specific roadway features required through development. This segment of Franklin Road is designated in the MSM as a Commercial Arterial with 5-lanes, a 72-foot street section within 96-feet of right-of- way. c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: Franklin Road is fully improved with 5-lanes, vertical curb, gutter and a 7-foot wide attached concrete sidewalk abutting the site at the influence area of the intersection transitioning to a 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk for the remaining site frontage consistent with the MSM. Additional improvements to Franklin Road will be 8 The 10 at Meridian M PP20-0040/H-2021-0025 evaluated at the time of the review of the future development application based on the recommendations of the traffic impact study. Consistent with the District's Minor Improvements Policy, the applicant should be required to replace any broken or deteriorated segments of curb, gutter and/or sidewalk on Franklin Road abutting the site with the future development application. 6. Cobalt Drive (MSM Collector Roadway) a. Existing Conditions: There are no collector roadways within the site. There is an existing 28- foot wide paved curb return type approach from the site onto Ten Mile Road that aligns with the Cobalt Drive on the east side of Ten Mile Road. 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. 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 9 The 10 at Meridian MPP20-0040/H-2021-0025 with the street typology of Towncenter Collector. The new collector roadway should align with Cobalt Drive on the east side of Ten Mile Road and continue through the property stubbing to the south. The Towncenter Collector typology as depicted in the Livable Street Design Guide recommends a 3-lane roadway with bike lanes, and on street parking, a 46-foot street section within 50 to 70-feet of right-of-way. c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant has proposed to extend Cobalt Drive from the existing approach on Ten Mile Road that aligns with Cobalt Drive on the east side of Ten Mile Road into the site to stub to the site's south property line and dedicate 70-feet or right-of-way for the roadway. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal for the alignment and right- of-way dedication for Cobalt Drive is consistent with the MSM and TMISAP and meets District Policy. With the future development application, the applicant should be required to construct Cobalt Drive as a 46-foot wide collector street section with vertical curb, gutter and 5-foot wide detached (or 7-foot wide attached) concrete sidewalks within the 70-feet of right-of-way consistent with the MSM. 7. Roadway Offsets a. Existing Conditions: There are no roadways within the site. b. Policy: Collector Offset Policy: District policy 7205.4.2 states that the optimum spacing for new signalized collector roadways intersecting principal arterials is 1,320-feet. c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant has proposed to extend Cobalt Drive from the existing approach on Ten Mile Road that aligns with Cobalt Drive on the east side of Ten Mile Road located 1,160-feet to the south of Franklin Road. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal does not meet District Policy, but is consistent with the MSM and TMISAP. 8. Stub Streets a. Existing Conditions: There are no existing roadways within the site. b. Policy: Stub Street Policy: District policy 7206.2.4.3 (collector)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 7206.2.4 (collector), 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 IS A DESIGNATED COLLECTOR ROADWAY. THIS STREET 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. • The District may require appropriate covenants guaranteeing that the stub street will remain free of obstructions. Temporary Dead End Streets Policy: 7206.2.4.4 (collector) 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 10 The 10 at Meridian M PP20-0040/H-2021-0025 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 has proposed to construct Cobalt Drive to stub to the site's south property line. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meet District Policy and is consistent with the MSM and TMISAP. With the future development application, the applicant should be required to install a sign at the terminus of the cul-de-sac stating that, "THIS IS A DESIGNATED COLLECTOR ROADWAY. THIS STREET WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE." The applicant will also be required to construct a temporary cul-de-sac with a minimum 50-foot radius at the terminus of the stub street since the length of the stub street will be greater than 150-feet, consistent with District Policy. 9. Driveways 9.1 Ten Mile Road a. Existing Conditions: There are no driveways from the site onto Ten Mile Road. b. Policy: Access Points Policy: District Policy 7205.4.1 states that all access points associated with development applications shall be determined in accordance with the policies in this section and Section 7202. Access points shall be reviewed only for a development application that is being considered by the lead land use agency. Approved access points may be relocated and/or restricted in the future if the land use intensifies, changes, or the property redevelops. Access Policy: District policy 7205.4.7 states that direct access to principal arterials is typically prohibited. If a property has frontage on more than one street, access shall be taken from the street having the lesser functional classification. If it is necessary to take access to the higher classified street due to a lack of frontage, the minimum allowable spacing shall be based on Table 1 b under District policy 7205.4.7, unless a waiver for the access point has been approved by the District Commission. Driveways, when approved on a principal arterial shall operate as a right-in/right-out only, and the District will require the construction of a raised median to restrict the left turning movements. Driveway Location Policy: District policy 7205.4.7 requires driveways located on principal arterial roadway with a 45 MPH speed limit to be located a minimum of 450-feet from the nearest intersection for a right-in/right-out only driveway. Full-access driveways are not allowed on principal arterial roadways. Successive Driveways: District policy 7205.4.7 Table 1 b, requires driveways located on principal arterial roadways with a speed limit of 45 MPH to align or offset a minimum of 450-feet from any existing or proposed driveway. Driveway Width Policy: District policy 7205.4.8 restricts high-volume driveways (100 VTD or more) to a maximum width of 36-feet and low-volume driveways (less than 100 VTD) to a maximum width of 30-feet. Curb return type driveways with 30-foot radii will be required for high- volume driveways with 100 VTD or more. Curb return type driveways with 15-foot radii will be required for low-volume driveways with less than 100 VTD. Driveway Paving Policy: Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance problems due to gravel being tracked onto the roadway. In accordance with District policy, 7205.4.8, 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 in accordance with Table 2 under District Policy 7205.4.8. Number of Driveways on Arterials Policy: District Policy 7205.4.4 states that the intent of this policy is to limit the number of access points to those that are warranted or necessary to serve 11 The 10 at Meridian M PP20-0040/H-2021-0025 the development, while maintain the function and performance of the arterial. The guidelines below shall be used when more than one access point is being requested with a development. Additional driveways may be considered when one or more of the following conditions are met: • The daily volume using one access exceeds 5,000 vehicles (total volume for entering and existing traffic). • Traffic using one driveway exceeds the volume to capacity ratio (v/c) equal to or greater than 1, of a STOP controlled intersection during either the peak hour of the street or the peak hour of the site traffic generation. • A District approved traffic impact study and analysis determines that conditions warrant additional driveways. c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant has proposed 2 access points onto Ten Mile Road: • Access C - a 43-foot wide curb return type driveway located 375-feet south of Franklin Road and restrict it to right-in/right-out only. • Access D - a 43-foot wide curb return type driveway located 400-feet south of Access C and 775-feet south of Franklin Road and restrict it to right-in/right-out only. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal does not meet the District's Access Policy, Access Points on Arterials Policy, Successive Driveways or Driveway Width Policy. The District's Number of Driveways on Arterials Policy limits the number of driveways on arterial roadways to those that are necessary to serve the site. In pre-application meetings with the applicant, staff recommended that the applicant revise their site layout to be oriented to use Cobalt Drive as the main access point and that the applicant provide analyses to show that additional access points are necessary to serve the site, consistent with the District's Number of Access Points on arterial roadways, District Policy 7205.4.4. The applicant did not revise the site plan per staff recommendations, but did provide analyses for different access scenarios. Based on the study findings and recommendations, staff supports additional restricted access onto Ten Mile Road in order to help alleviate future traffic concerns at Access A and at the intersection of Ten Mile Road and Franklin Road. Staff would consider the following onto Ten Mile Road: Access C as right-out only and Access D as right-in/right-out only. Approval of access points will be assessed at the time of the review of the future development application. Driveway widths are limited to 36-foot wide for driveways with more than 100 vehicle trips per day. Driveways on principal arterial roadways with posted speed limits of 45 MPH are required to be offset a minimum of 450-feet from any driveway or street and are restricted to right-in/right- out only. Both driveways proposed onto Ten Mile Road do not meet the District's required offset of 450-feet on a principal arterial roadway with a 45 MPH posted speed limit. 9.2 Franklin Road a. Existing Conditions: There is an existing 26-foot wide paved curb return type driveway from the site onto Franklin Road located 360-feet west of Ten Mile Road, and a 19-foot wide paved curb cut type driveway 884-feet west of Ten Mile Road. b. Policy: Access Points Policy: District Policy 7205.4.1 states that all access points associated with development applications shall be determined in accordance with the policies in this section and Section 7202. Access points shall be reviewed only for a development application that is being considered by the lead land use agency. Approved access points may be relocated and/or restricted in the future if the land use intensifies, changes, or the property redevelops. 12 The 10 at Meridian MPP20-0040/H-2021-0025 Access Policy: District policy 7205.4.7 states that direct access to principal arterials is typically prohibited. If a property has frontage on more than one street, access shall be taken from the street having the lesser functional classification. If it is necessary to take access to the higher classified street due to a lack of frontage, the minimum allowable spacing shall be based on Table 1 b under District policy 7205.4.7, unless a waiver for the access point has been approved by the District Commission. Driveways, when approved on a principal arterial shall operate as a right-in/right-out only, and the District will require the construction of a raised median to restrict the left turning movements. Driveway Location Policy: District policy 7205.4.7 requires driveways located on principal arterial roadways with a 50 MPH speed limit to be located a minimum of 520-feet from the nearest intersection for a right-in/right-out only driveway. Full-access driveways are not allowed on principal arterial roadways. Successive Driveways: District policy 7205.4.7 Table 1 b, requires driveways located on principal arterial roadways with a speed limit of 50 MPH to align or offset a minimum of 520-feet from any existing or proposed driveway. Driveway Width Policy: District policy 7205.4.8 restricts high-volume driveways (100 VTD or more) to a maximum width of 36-feet and low-volume driveways (less than 100 VTD) to a maximum width of 30-feet. Curb return type driveways with 30-foot radii will be required for high- volume driveways with 100 VTD or more. Curb return type driveways with 15-foot radii will be required for low-volume driveways with less than 100 VTD. Driveway Paving Policy: Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance problems due to gravel being tracked onto the roadway. In accordance with District policy, 7205.4.8, 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 in accordance with Table 2 under District Policy 7205.4.8. Number of Driveways on Arterials Policy: District Policy 7205.4.4 states that the intent of this policy is to limit the number of access points to those that are warranted or necessary to serve the development, while maintain the function and performance of the arterial. The guidelines below shall be used when more than one access point is being requested with a development. Additional driveways may be considered when one or more of the following conditions are met: • The daily volume using one access exceeds 5,000 vehicles (total volume for entering and existing traffic). • Traffic using one driveway exceeds the volume to capacity ratio (v/c) equal to or greater than 1, of a STOP controlled intersection during either the peak hour of the street or the peak hour of the site traffic generation. • A District approved traffic impact study and analysis determines that conditions warrant additional driveways. c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant has proposed to close the 2 existing driveways located 360-feet and 884-feet west of Franklin Road with curb, gutter and sidewalk to match the existing improvements on either side. The applicant has proposed 2 access points onto Franklin Road: • Access A- a 43-foot wide curb return type driveway located 930-feet west of Ten Mile Road. • Access B - a 43-foot wide curb return type driveway located 450-feet west of Ten Mile Road and 480-feet east of Access A and restrict it to right-in/right-out only. 13 The 10 at Meridian M PP20-0040/H-2021-0025 d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal to close the 2 existing driveways meets District Policy. The applicant's proposal to construct the 2 new driveways onto Franklin Road does not meet the District's Access Policy, Access Points on Arterials Policy, Successive Driveway Spacing Policy or Driveway Width Policy. Driveway widths are limited to 36-foot wide for driveways with more than 100 vehicle trips per day. Driveways on principal arterial roadways with a 50 MPH speed limit are required to be offset a minimum of 520-feet. However, existing driveways on the north side of Franklin Road and the limited site frontage restrict the applicant from meeting the required offset. The District's Number of Driveways on Arterials Policy limits the number of driveways on arterial roadways to those that are necessary to serve the site. In pre-application meetings with the applicant, staff recommended that the applicant revise their site layout to be oriented to use Cobalt Drive as the main access point and provide analyses to show that additional access points are necessary to serve the site, consistent with the District's Number of Access Points on arterial roadways, District Policy 7205.4.4. The applicant did not revise the site plan per staff recommendations, but did provide analyses for different access scenarios. The study showed that access onto Cobalt Drive and Access A onto Franklin Road are necessary to serve the site and will operate acceptably under the 2023 total traffic conditions. In this scenario, Cobalt Drive is restricted to right-in/right-out/left-in only on Ten Mile Road and Access A is a full access on Franklin Road. With the future development application, Access A would be approved as a temporary full access, consistent with District Policy for temporary full access on principal arterial roadways, that can be restricted to right-in/right-out only at any time at the discretion of ACHD based on traffic safety and operational needs. Staff also supports additional restricted access Franklin Road in order to help alleviate future traffic concerns at Access A. Staff would consider allowing Access B as a right-in/right-out only on Franklin Road. Approval of access points will be determined at the time of the review of the future development application. 9.3 Cobalt Drive a. Existing Conditions: There are no collector roadways within the site. b. Policy: Access Policy: District Policy 7205.4.1 states that all access points associated with development applications shall be determined in accordance with the policies in this section and Section 7202. Access points shall be reviewed only for a development application that is being considered by the lead land use agency. Approved access points may be relocated and/or restricted in the future if the land use intensifies, changes, or the property redevelops. District Policy 7206.1 states that the primary function of a collector is to intercept traffic from the local street system and carry that traffic to the nearest arterial. A secondary function is to service adjacent property. Access will be limited or controlled. Collectors may also be designated at bicycle and bus routes. Driveway Location Policy (Stop Controlled Intersection): District policy 7206.4.4 requires driveways located on collector roadways near a STOP controlled intersection to be located outside of the area of influence; OR a minimum of 150-feet from the intersection, whichever is greater. Dimensions shall be measured from the centerline of the intersection to the centerline of the driveway. Successive Driveways: District policy 7206.4.5 Table 1, requires driveways located on collector roadways with a speed limit of 25 MPH and daily traffic volumes greater than 100 VTD to align or offset a minimum of 245-feet from any existing or proposed driveway. Driveway Width Policy: District policy 7206.4.6 restricts high-volume driveways (100 VTD or more) to a maximum width of 36-feet and low-volume driveways (less than 100 VTD) to a maximum width of 30-feet. Curb return type driveways with 30-foot radii will be required for high- 14 The 10 at Meridian M PP20-0040/H-2021-0025 volume driveways with 100 VTD or more. Curb return type driveways with 15-foot radii will be required for low-volume driveways with less than 100 VTD. Driveway Paving Policy: Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance problems due to gravel being tracked onto the roadway. In accordance with District policy, 7206.4.6, 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 in accordance with Table 2 under District Policy 7206.4.6. c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant has proposed to construct a 44-foot wide curb return type driveway onto Cobalt Drive located 388-feet west of Ten Mile Road. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District Policy, except for the driveway width. Driveways with more than 100 VTD are restricted to 36-feet in width. 10. Private Roads a. Private Road Policy: District policy 7212.1 states that the lead land use agencies 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. The private road should have the following requirements: • Designed to discourage through traffic between two public streets, • Graded to drain away from the public street intersection, and • If a private road is gated, the gate or keypad (if applicable) shall be located a minimum of 50-feet from the near edge of the intersection and a turnaround shall be provided. b. Applicant Proposal: The applicant has proposed to construct a private road network throughout the site. c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: If the City of Meridian approves the private road, the applicant shall be required to pave the private roadway a minimum of 20 to 24-feet wide and at least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of all public streets and install pavement tapers with 15-foot curb radii abutting the existing roadway edge. If private roads are not approved by the City of Meridian, the applicant will be required to revise and resubmit the preliminary plat to provide public standard local streets in these locations. Street name and stop signs are required for the private road. The signs may be ordered through the District. Verification of the correct, approved name of the road is required. ACHD does not make any assurances that the private road, which 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. • Construct a stub street to the surrounding parcels. 11. Kennedy Lateral Crossing (Cobalt Drive) The District will require that the applicant submit the plans for the crossing of the Kennedy Lateral 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 should be submitted to ACHD for review no later than December 15' for construction in the following year prior to irrigation season. 12. Tree Planters 15 The 10 at Meridian M PP20-0040/H-2021-0025 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. 13. 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. 14. Other Access Ten Mile Road and Franklin Road are classified principal arterials roadways, and Cobalt Drive is classified as a collector roadway. Other than the access specifically approved with the future development application, direct lot access is prohibited to these roadways and should be noted on the final plat. D.

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 11:00 a.m. 2 days 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. f. If a motion to reconsider passes, the applicant may be charged a reasonable fee, to cover administrative costs, as established by the Commission. 37 The 10 at Meridian M PP20-0040/H-2021-0025
