194 S. Wayfinder Avenue
TM Creek Apartments Phase 3
On February 26, 2014 and August 4, 2020 the Ada County Highway District approved TM Creek
Subdivision (MPP14-0016) and TM Center Subdivision (MPP20-0023), respectively. The western
portion of the site is within the TM Creek Subdivision No. 4 and the eastern portion of the site is
within the TM Center Subdivision. The site-specific conditions of approval also apply to this
application, TM Creek Apartments Phase 3.
The applicant has proposed to use an existing curb cut as an interim emergency access on
Franklin Road for the development until the private access road for the site is extended to the west
to intersect the proposed north/south collector roadway, Benchmark Avenue; this was previously
named New Market Avenue and was approved as part of ACHD's action on TM Center
Subdivision, MPP20-0023. The emergency access will need to be restricted with gates or bollards
as determined by the Meridian Fire Department and be located outside of the right-of-way and
paved a minimum of 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement for Franklin Road if it is not
already.

6. 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.
7. Capital Improvements Plan (CI P)/Integrated Five Year Work Plan (IFYWP):
• Franklin Road is listed in the CIP and IFYWP to be widened to 5-lanes from Black Cat to Ten
Mile in 2016.
• The intersection of Black Cat and Franklin Road is listed in the CIP to be widened to 7-lanes on
the north leg, 7-lanes on the south, 7-lanes east, and 7-lanes on the west leg, and signalized
between 2015 and 2016. The intersection is listed in the IFYWP to be reconstructed in 2016.
B. Traffic Findings for Consideration
1. Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate 15,586 additional vehicle trips per
day; 1,354 additional vehicle trips per hour in the PM peak hour based on the Institute of
Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual, 9th edition. ACHD did not require a traffic
impact study because this area was studied and included in the Ten Mile Interchange Specific
Area Plan (see below).
2. Condition of Area Roadways

• Acceptable level of service for a five-lane principal arterial is "E" (1,770 VPH).
• Acceptable level of service for a seven-lane principal arterial is "E" (2,660 VPH).
3. Average Daily Traffic Count (VDT)
Average daily traffic counts are based on ACHD's most current traffic counts.
Updated traffic counts were not requested for this application as Franklin Road between Ten Mile and
Linder was under construction from February through October of 2013.
• The average daily traffic count for Ten Mile Road south of Franklin Road was 20,012 on
2/29/2012.
• The average daily traffic count for Franklin Road west of Linder Road was 10,499 on
7/06/2011.
C. Findings for Consideration
1. Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan (TMISAP)
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.
2 TM Creek
The TMISAP recommends the construction of an east/west collector roadway along the site's
south property line, a north/south collector through the site stubbing to the south, and a
roundabout at the collector/collector intersection. (As indicated by the red ovals on the picture
below).The applicant's proposal is consistent with the TMISAP.

2. Ten Mile Road
a. Existing Conditions: Ten Mile Road is improved with 5 to 7-travel lanes, vertical curb, gutter,
and a 7-foot wide asphalt path and 7-foot wide attached concrete sidewalk abutting the site.
There is 110 to 180-feet of right-of-way for Ten Mile Road (120-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.
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 and on-street bike lanes, an 80-foot street
section within 100 feet of right-of-way.
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.
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
3 TM Creek
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.
c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is not proposing any improvements to Ten Mile Road.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: Ten Mile Road was recently reconstructed as a 5/7-
lane roadway in conjunction with the Ten Mile Interchange Project and is fully-improved.
Therefore, staff recommends no additional roadway improvements or right-of-way dedication
on Ten Mile Road be required as part of this application.
3. Franklin Road
a. Existing Conditions: Franklin Road is improved with 5-travel lanes, vertical curb, gutter, and
5-foot wide detached and 7-foot wide attached sidewalks abutting the site. There is 100 to
120-feet of right-of-way for Franklin Road (70 to 90-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

d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: Franklin Road was recently reconstructed as a 5-lane
roadway in conjunction with the Franklin Road Ten Mile to Linder Road project and is fully-
improved. Therefore, staff recommends no additional roadway improvements or right-of-way
dedication on Franklin Road be required as part of this application.
4. Franklin Crossing Avenue
a. Existing Conditions: There are no collector roadways within the site.
b. Policy:
4 TM Creek
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.
ACHD Master Street Map: ACHD Policy Section 3111.1 requires the Master Street Map
(MSM) guide the right-of-way acquisition, collector street requirements, and specific roadway
features required through development. A new collector roadway was identified on the MSM
with the street typology of Town Center Collector. The new collector roadway should intersect
with Franklin Road on the north and continue through the property stubbing to the south. The
Town Center Collector typology as depicted in the Livable Street Design Guide recommends a
3-lane roadway with bike lanes, and on street parking, a 60-foot street section within 88 feet of
right-of-way.
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.
Sidewalk Policy: District policy 7206.5.6 requires a concrete sidewalks 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.
Landscape Medians Policy: District policy 7206.5.14 states that landscape medians are
permissible where adequate pavement width is provided on each side of the median to
accommodate the travel lanes and where the following is provided:
• The median is platted as right-of-way owned by ACHD.
• The width of an island near an intersection is 12-feet maximum for a minimum distance of
150-feet. Beyond the 150-feet, the island may increase to a maximum width of 30-feet.
• At an intersection that is signalized or is to be signalized in the future, the median width
shall be reduced to accommodate the necessary turn lane storage and tapers.
• The Developer or Homeowners Association shall apply for a license agreement if
landscaping is to be placed within these medians.
5 TM Creek
• The license agreement shall contain the District's requirements of the developer including,
but not limited to, a "hold harmless" clause; requirements for maintenance by the
developer; liability insurance requirements; and restrictions.
• Vertical curbs are required around the perimeter of any raised median. Gutters shall slope
away from the curb to prevent ponding.
c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant has proposed to construct 3 different street sections for
Franklin Crossing Avenue. The proposed street sections north and south of the creek in the
interim provide on-street parking on both sides of the roadway, 2 travel lanes, a center turn
lane/median, bike lanes on both sides of the roadway, curb, gutter, and 7-foot attached
concrete sidewalks. This proposal is consistent with the Town Center Collector street
typology in the TMAISAP and the MSM.
As traffic increases in the area and additional capacity is needed to serve the site the on-
street parking could be removed and the roadway restriped to a 5-lane roadway with bike
lanes, curb, gutter, and a 7-foot wide attached concrete sidewalk.
The applicant has proposed to construct the Franklin Crossing Avenue bridge section over the
Ten Mile Drain as a 3-lane roadway with parking, bike lanes and 7-foot wide attached
concrete sidewalks.

6 TM Creek
Consistent with the TMISAP the applicant has proposed to stub Franklin Crossing Avenue to
the south to allow for its future extension through an existing 111 acre parcel (Treasure Valley
Investments) located directly south of the site. The applicant has proposed to construct a
temporary turnaround at the terminus of the stub street.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant has proposed constructing the roadway
to provide 3 lanes plus parking to facilitate the future expansion of the roadway to a 5 lane
section without parking, if necessary in the future. The Traffic Impact Study conducted with
the TMISAP did not indicate 5 lanes would be necessary in the future. However, staff
recommends approval of the street sections as proposed, at the applicant's request. The
parking lanes are consistent with the TMISAP and if the traffic is greater than the projections
the roadway may be expanded by restriping. The City of Meridian is supportive of the
applicant's request. Therefore, the applicant's proposal to construct 3 different street sections
for Franklin Crossing Avenue, consistent with the Town Center Collector street typology in the
TMAISAP and the MSM, should be approved, as proposed.
5. Franklin Crossing Avenue/Franklin Road Intersection
As part of the Franklin Road widening project, conduit was installed at the Franklin Crossing
Avenue/Franklin Road intersection to accommodate the installation of a future signal. Installation
of a signal in this location is planned by ACHD and is consistent with the recommendations of the
TMISAP.
Consistent with the access approvals for the site and to accommodate the traffic anticipated to be
generated by the proposed TM Creek project, the applicant should be required to design and
install a signal at the Franklin Road/Franklin Crossing Avenue intersection. The signal should be
constructed through the signal poles and luminaires, prior to signature on the first final plat. When
the signal is warranted in the future, as determined by ACHD, the District will complete the
installation of the mast arms, signal heads, controller and wiring and put the signal into operation.
The northbound leg of the intersection should be striped with 2 receiving lanes; a center blanked
out lane, and dedicated right and left turn lanes. The first 200-feet south of Franklin Road should
be signed for"NO PARKING". Coordinate the design, striping, and signage of the northbound leg
of the intersection with District Traffic Services and Development Review staff.
6. Ten Mile Creek Drive
a. Existing Conditions: There are no collector roadways within the site.
b. Policy:
Collector Street Policy: District policy 7206.2.1 states that the developer is responsible for
improving all collector frontages adjacent to the site or internal to the development as required
below, regardless of whether access is taken to all of the adjacent streets.
Master Street Map and Typologies Policy: District policy 7206.5 states that if the collector
street is designated with a typology on the Master Street Map, that typology shall be
considered for the required street improvements. If there is no typology listed in the Master
Street Map, then standard street sections shall serve as the default.
ACHD Master Street Map: ACHD Policy Section 3111.1 requires the Master Street Map
(MSM) guide the right-of-way acquisition, collector street requirements, and specific roadway
features required through development. A new collector roadway was identified on the MSM
with the street typology of Town Center Collector. The new collector roadway should intersect
with Ten Mile Road on the west and continue through the property stubbing to the east. The
Town Center Collector typology as depicted in the Livable Street Design Guide recommends a
3-lane roadway with bike lanes, and on street parking, a 60-foot street section within 88 feet of
right-of-way.
7 TM Creek
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.
Sidewalk Policy: District policy 7206.5.6 requires a concrete sidewalks 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.
Landscape Medians Policy: District policy 7206.5.14 states that landscape medians are
permissible where adequate pavement width is provided on each side of the median to
accommodate the travel lanes and where the following is provided:
• The median is platted as right-of-way owned by ACHD.
• The width of an island near an intersection is 12-feet maximum for a minimum distance of
150-feet. Beyond the 150-feet, the island may increase to a maximum width of 30-feet.
• At an intersection that is signalized or is to be signalized in the future, the median width
shall be reduced to accommodate the necessary turn lane storage and tapers.
• The Developer or Homeowners Association shall apply for a license agreement if
landscaping is to be placed within these medians.
• The license agreement shall contain the District's requirements of the developer including,
but not limited to, a "hold harmless" clause; requirements for maintenance by the
developer; liability insurance requirements; and restrictions.
• Vertical curbs are required around the perimeter of any raised median. Gutters shall slope
away from the curb to prevent ponding.
c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct Ten Mile Creek Drive with two
11-foot wide travel lanes, 13-foot wide center landscape island, 5-foot wide bike lanes, vertical
curb, gutter, 8-foot wide planter strip, and 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalks within 78-
feet of right-of-way. The applicant has proposed to preserve 10 additional feet of right-of-way
on each side of the roadway totaling 98-feet to preserve for future roadway expansion.
Consistent with the TMISAP the applicant has proposed to construct the first 300-feet of Ten
Mile Creek Drive east of Ten Mile Road, stubbing to the 111 acres parcel (Treasure Valley
Investments) directly south and east of the site. The applicant has proposed to construct a
temporary turnaround at the terminus of the stub street.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District Policy and
should be approved, as proposed with the exception of the width of the proposed center
8 TM Creek
landscape islands. Consistent with District policy 7206.5.14 the center landscape islands
should be reduced to a maximum width of 12-feet and platted as right-of-way owned by
ACHD. The applicant or the owners association should enter into a license agreement with
the District for any landscaping proposed within the center landscape island.
The extension of Ten Mile Creek Drive east to the proposed roundabout at the Ten Mile Creek
Drive/Franklin Crossing intersection will require coordination with property owner to the south
(Treasure Valley Investments, LLC). The applicant should be required to design Ten Mile
Creek Road from Ten Mile Road east to the proposed roundabout at the Ten Mile Creek
Drive/Franklin Crossing intersection.
If the right-of-way can be acquired from the property owner to the south (Treasure Valley
Investments, LLC) and a cost share agreement between the two parties can be reached, the
roadway should be constructed as part of this project. If right-of-way and cost share
agreement for the construction of the roadway cannot be acquired at this time, then the
applicant should be required to provide a road trust deposit for the construction of half of the
road minus half of the design cost. Ten Mile Creek Drive would then be constructed when the
parcel to the south develops.
7. Roundabout
a. Existing Conditions: There are no roundabouts within the site.
b. Policy:
Intersection Control Policy: District policy 5108.5 states that roundabout traffic control shall
be considered and evaluated as an option if the intersection is being considered for
improvement for any of the following reasons:
• A capacity deficiency exists, and an all-way stop and/or traffic signal volume
warrant is met as defined in the MUTCD; or
• A safety deficiency exists; or
• Unconventional geometry exists (e.g., five approaches).
An alternatives analysis (potentially including other intersection control types, such as signals
and stop signs) shall be conducted at all intersections where a roundabout is being
considered. The alternatives analysis shall include a detailed traffic operations analysis and
shall consider ACHD costs (e.g., right-of-way, construction, and maintenance) and public costs
(e.g., delay, safety, and the environment.) The alternatives analysis should be the decision-
making tool used to determine whether or not a roundabout will be constructed. Final
discretion for all intersection control decisions rests with ACHD.
Traffic Operations Analysis Policy: District Policy 5108.6 states that traffic conditions shall
be analyzed for all peak periods of the intersection's construction year and design year(s). The
construction year is the year the roundabout will be constructed and opened. For federally
funded projects the design year is 20 years after the construction year. There may be multiple
design years if considering interim designs.
Analysis Procedure Policy: District Policy 5108.6.2 states that traffic analysis procedures
shall be consistent with the most recent version of the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM)
beginning with the 2010 edition. Prior to the publication of the 2010 HCM the traffic analysis
procedures shall be based upon the equations summarized in NCHRP Report 572:
Roundabouts in the United States. Additional analytical or simulation tools may be required to
supplement the traffic analysis. The additional analysis tools shall be calibrated to match
either the data summarized in NCHRP Report 572, the 2010 HCM (or its subsequent
updates), or local conditions. Site selection, data collection, and calibration methods must be
pre-approved by ACHD Traffic.
9 TM Creek
Result Reporting Policy: District Policy 5108.6.3 states that roundabout traffic operations
shall be reported on a lane-by-lane basis. Volume-to-capacity (V/C), traffic delay, level of
service, and 95th percentile queues shall be reported.
Acceptable Thresholds Policy: District Policy 5108.6.4 states that the acceptable level of
service for all roundabouts shall be based upon the critical/worst lane and a maximum
volume-to-capacity (V/C) ratio of 0.85.
Roundabout Designers Policy: District Policy 5108.8.1 states that ACHD roundabout
projects shall be designed and submitted by ACHD staff or prequalified firms approved to
design roundabouts by ACHD. A peer review shall be performed by an ACHD prequalified
roundabout peer review firm for all roundabouts designed by ACHD staff. The list of firms
approved to design and review roundabouts will be available to the public.
The ACHD prequalified firms approved to design roundabouts are recommended for
developer projects. If a roundabout is not designed by a firm prequalified by ACHD to design
roundabouts, the developer shall have a roundabout peer review performed by a firm
acceptable to ACHD.
Preliminary Deliverables Policy:
District Policy 5108.8.2 states that before plat approval, right-of-way dedication or purchase,
grading, or other details are designed, the designer shall demonstrate to ACHD's satisfaction
that the preliminary roundabout design meets the standards set forth in ACHD Roundabout
Policy. All roundabout designs will be required to meet the same standards outlined in the
roundabout policy. Preliminary submittal deliverables shall include the following items:
1. Traffic Operation Analysis Summary
Include input parameter summary sheets and output tables as necessary so analysis can
be independently replicated.
2. 1:50 Scale Plan View
Include curbs and pavement markings. Plan view shall be supplemented with an AutoCAD
compatible file.
3. Wheel Path Plots
Illustrate the wheel paths of the design vehicle(s) making every movement from each
approach. Additionally, a side-by-side swept path plot shall be provided with the
appropriate design vehicle(s)for multilane roundabout sections.
4. Fastest Path Plots
Illustrate the fastest path for every movement from each approach. Include a complete
speed comparison table.
5. Natural Path Plots
Illustrate the natural path for every movement from each approach.
Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct a dual-lane roundabout at the
Franklin Crossing/Ten Mile Creek Drive intersection located approximately 1,300-feet east of Ten
Mile Road and 1,300-feet south of Franklin Road at the south property line. The roundabout is
proposed to be split on the property line with the south half of the roundabout to be constructed on
parcel no. S1214233665, owned by Treasure Valley Investments, LLC, and the north half of the
roundabout would be constructed within the boundaries of the site. The applicant has proposed
to construct the dual-lane roundabout and make modifications to the interior of the roundabout
allowing it to function as a single lane roundabout until the second lane is needed to increase the
capacity of the intersection.
10 TM Creek
Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal to construct a roundabout at the
Franklin Crossing/Ten Mile Creek Drive intersection at the south property is consistent with the
TMISAP, provides access to the parcel to the south and should be approved, as proposed.
The applicant should be required to design and build the roundabout as a dual lane roundabout
that can be modified as an interim single lane roundabout and expanded in the future if the
collector roadways require 5 lanes in the future. If the right-of-way can be acquired from the
property owner to the south (Treasure Valley Investments, LLC) and a cost share agreement
between the two parties can be reached, the roundabout should be constructed as a single lane
roundabout with this project. If right-of-way for the construction of the roundabout cannot be
acquired at this time, then the applicant should be required to provide a road trust deposit for the
half the construction costs of the roundabout minus half the design costs. The roundabout would
then be constructed when the parcel to the south develops.
The applicant should enter into a development agreement with the District which would be
recorded against the land and notes that when the second lane needs to be added to the
roundabout that the applicant or current property owner will pay their portion of the design and
construction costs associated with the future roundabout expansion.
The applicant should be required to provide the preliminary deliverables for the roundabout design
as part of the plan submittal as identified in District policy 5108.8.2, noted above. The roundabout
should be designed by a qualified designer following ACHD's Roundabout Design Guidelines.
The applicant should be required to dedicate all islands as right-of-way owned by ACHD; and the
Developer or Property Owners Association should apply for a license agreement if landscaping is
to be placed within the islands.
8. Cost Share Agreements
As noted in Findings 6 and 7, the construction of Ten Mile Creek Drive and the roundabout will
require cooperation between the applicant and the property owner to the south. The applicant
reports they have had discussions with the property owner to the south and they have both
agreed on the alignment presented. Each property, when it develops should be required to enter
into a Development Agreement to provide for the design and construction of the road and
roundabout the apportionment of costs.
The TM Creek applicant should be required to design the roadway and roundabout and provide a
deposit for half the costs of construction minus the design costs. When the property to the south
develops, that applicant will be required to construct the road and roundabout paying the balance
of construction costs and be reimbursed for the applicant's proportionate share from the deposit.
The Development Agreements will provide for any differences in the estimated costs versus the
actual costs. If the property owner to the south will work with the TM Creek applicant and
dedicate the right-of-way with this development, the applicant should then be required to build the
road and roundabout at this time and be reimbursed in the future from the property owner to the
south when they develop. This will require both parties entering into the Development
Agreements at this time to provide for the apportionment of costs and future reimbursement.
9. Roadway Offsets
a. Existing Conditions: There are no roadways constructed within the site, however, as part of
Ten Mile Road and Franklin Road widening projects approaches were constructed for future
public streets. A 46-foot wide full access approach was constructed onto Ten Mile Road
located 1,150-feet south of Franklin Road and a 46-foot wide approach was constructed onto
Franklin Road located 1,180-feet east of Ten Mile Road.
b. Policy: Collector Offset Policy: District policy 7205.4.2 states that the optimum spacing for
new signalized collector roadways intersecting principal arterials is one half-mile.
11 TM Creek
c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to utilize the existing 46-foot wide
approach on Ten Mile Road for Ten Mile Creek Drive, and to widen the existing 46-foot wide
on Franklin Road to 70-feet for Franklin Crossing Avenue. The applicant has not proposed
changes the locations of the existing roadway approaches.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal to utilize the existing 46-foot
wide full access approach onto Ten Mile Road located 1,150-feet south of Franklin Road and
the location of the existing 46-foot wide full access approach onto Franklin Road located
1,180-feet east of Ten Mile Road does not meet District offset policy, which requires new
collectors intersecting principal arterial roadways to be located at the half mile.
However, staff recommends approval of the applicant's proposal to utilize the existing
approaches onto Ten Mile and Franklin Road as the location of these roadways were
previously approved, and the approaches were built as part of the Ten Mile and Franklin Road
widening projects.
Ten Mile Creek Drive will operate as a full access public street. This street may be restricted
to left-in/right-in/right-out, or right-in/right-out operations in the future if safety or traffic
operations require modifications, as determined by ACHD.
10. Stub Streets
a. Existing Conditions: There are no stub streets to the site.
b. Policy:
Stub Street Policy: District policy 7206.2.4 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 7206.2.5.4 except a temporary cul-de-sac will not be
required if the stub street has a length no greater than 150-feet. A sign shall be installed at
the terminus of the stub street stating that, "THIS IS A DESIGNATED COLLECTOR
ROADWAY. THIS STREET WILL BE EXTENDED AND WIDENDED 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: District policy 7206.2.4 requires that the design and
construction for cul-de-sac streets shall apply to temporary dead end streets. The temporary
cul-de-sac shall be paved and shall be the dimensional requirements of a standard cul-de-sac.
The developer shall grant a temporary turnaround easement to the District for those portions
of the cul-de-sac which extend beyond the dedicated street right-of-way. In the instance
where a temporary easement extends onto a buildable lot, the entire lot shall be encumbered
by the easement and identified on the plat as a non-buildable lot until the street is extended.
c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct one stub street to the south,
Franklin Crossing Avenue and one stub street to the east, Ten Mile Creek Drive. The
applicant has proposed to construct temporary turnarounds at the terminus of both stub
streets.
Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District policy and
should be approved, as proposed. The applicant should be required to install signs at the
terminus of both stub streets stating that, "THIS IS A DESIGNATED COLLECTOR
ROADWAY. THIS STREET WILL BE EXTENDED AND WIDENDED IN THE FUTURE."
12 TM Creek
The temporary turnarounds should be paved and constructed as standard cul-de-sac
turnarounds with a minimum radius of 45-feet.
11. Driveways
11.1 Ten Mile Road
a. Existing Conditions: There are two 28-foot wide right-in/right-out only driveways onto Ten
Mile Road from the site. One is located approximately 400-feet south of Franklin Road
restricted to right-in/right-out with candles and striping, and the second is located
approximately 800-feet south of Franklin Road and is median restricted. These driveways
were constructed in conjunction with the Ten Mile interchange project.
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 lb 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 to be located a minimum of 355-feet from the nearest intersection for a right-
in/right-out only driveway. Full-access driveways are not allowed on principal arterial
roadways.

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.
c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to utilize the existing 28-foot wide
restricted right-in/right-out driveways onto Ten Mile Road located 400 and 800-feet south of
Franklin Road.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal does not meet District
Access Management, Successive Driveway, or Driveway Location policies. However, staff
recommends approval of the applicant's proposal to utilize the existing approaches onto Ten
Mile and Franklin Road as the location of these driveways were previously approved, and the
approaches were built as part of the Ten Mile Road widening project. The driveways should
13 TM Creek
be paved their full width at least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement on Ten
Mile Road.

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 (Signalized Intersection): District policy 7206.4.3 requires
driveways located on collector roadways near a signalized intersection to be located outside
the area of influence; OR 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. Dimensions shall be measured from the centerline of the
intersection to the centerline of the driveway
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

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.
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.
c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct 6 30-foot wide driveways onto
Franklin Crossing Avenue. The driveways are proposed to align centerline to centerline on
both the east and west sides of Franklin Crossing Avenue. Two of the driveways located
approximately 270-feet south of Franklin Road are proposed to be median restricted right-
in/right-out only driveways. The other 4 driveways are proposed to be full access and located
560-feet, and 850-feet south of Franklin Road (measured centerline to centerline). All of the
15 TM Creek
driveways are proposed to offset by 290-feet. The applicant is proposing to construct two
driveways on Ten Mile Creek Drive located approximately 400-feet and 900-feet east of Ten
Mile Road.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal for driveways on Franklin
Crossing Avenue and the westerly driveway on Ten Mile Creek Drive meets District policy and
should be approved, as proposed. The easterly driveway on Ten Mile Creek Drive will not
meet policy when the roundabout is constructed. At that time, the driveway should be
restricted; or if it is within the influence area of the roundabout it should be relocated to the
west. The driveways should be paved their full width at least 30-feet into the site beyond the
edge of pavement of Franklin Crossing Avenue.
12. Bridge for Ten Mile Creek Crossing
The District will require that the applicant submit the bridge plans for the crossing of the Ten Mile
Creek (Franking Crossing Avenue) for review and approval prior to plan approval and signature of

way easement to a minimum 5 feet beyond the wing-walls of the structure.
13. Tree Planters
Tree Planter Policy: Tree Planter Policy: The District's Tree Planter Policy prohibits all trees in
planters less than 8-feet in width without the installation of root barriers. Class II trees may be
allowed in planters with a minimum width of 8-feet, and Class I and Class III trees may be allowed
in planters with a minimum width of 10-feet.
14. 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.
15. Other Access

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.
2 TM Center/
MPP20-0023/ H-2020-0074
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 0.97 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):
• Linder Road is scheduled in the IFYWP to be widened to 5-lanes from Franklin Road to Pine
Avenue in 2020. The project includes Bridge #1120.
• Linder Road is scheduled in the IFYWP to be widened to 5-lanes from Overland Road to
Franklin Road and will include a new 4-lane I-84 overpass.
• The intersection of Linder Road and Franklin Road is listed in the CIP to be widened to 6-
lanes on the north leg, 6-lanes on the south, 7-lanes east, and 7-lanes on the west leg, and
signalized between 2021 and 2025.
12. 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, Franklin Road and Vanguard Way as Level 2 facilities. The
BMP also identifies level 1 facilities on the new collector roadways within the site. The applicant
will construct the new collectors consistent with the MSM and the Roadways to Bikeways Master
plan.

C. Findings for Consideration
1. Ten Mile Specific Area Plan (TMISAP)
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.
The TMISAP recommends the construction of a north/south collector roadway through the site
connecting 2 roundabouts to the north and south of the site, a north/south collector roadway at
the site's east property line, an east/west collector roadway at the site's south property line and
10-foot wide west/east pathways that are parallel to Cobalt Drive and Ten Mile Creek (as
indicated by the red ovals on the picture below). The TMISAP also recommends the
construction of a signal at the intersection of the north/south collector roadway and Franklin
Road at the eastern portion of the site.
The applicant modified the east/west collector roadway to be located directly to the south of the
site with the Ten Mile Crossing preliminary plat application that was approved by ACHD in
March 2013. The 2 roundabouts directly to north and south of the site are already constructed.
The applicant is proposing to construct the 2 north/south collector roadways, Wayfinder Avenue
and New Market Avenue, consistent with the TMISAP. The applicant has also proposed to
extend the pathway into the site along Ten Mile Creek and construct several other multi-use
pathways, shown in the figure below in yellow. The applicant's proposal is consistent with the
intent of TMISAP.

2. Franklin Road/New Market Avenue Intersection
5 TM Center/
MPP20-0023/ H-2020-0074
As part of the Franklin Road widening project, conduit was installed at the New Market
Avenue/Franklin Road intersection to accommodate the installation of a future signal. Installation
of a signal in this location is planned by ACHD and is consistent with the recommendations of the
TMISAP.
Consistent with the access approvals for the site and to accommodate the traffic anticipated to be
generated by the proposed TM Center project, the applicant should be required to design and
install a signal at the Franklin Road/New Market Avenue intersection. The signal should be
constructed through the signal poles and luminaires, prior to signature on the first final plat. When
the signal is warranted in the future, as determined by ACHD, the District will complete the
installation of the mast arms, signal heads, controller and wiring and put the signal into operation.
The northbound leg of the intersection should be striped with 2 receiving lanes; a center blanked
out lane and dedicated right and left turn lanes. The first 200-feet south of Franklin Road should
be signed for"NO PARKING". Coordinate the design, striping, and signage of the northbound leg
of the intersection with District Traffic Services and Development Review staff.
3. Ten Mile Road
a. Existing Conditions: Ten Mile Road is improved with 5-travel lanes with vertical curb, gutter
and a 7-foot wide asphalt path abutting the site. There is 110 to 185-feet of right-of-way for Ten
Mile Road (60 to 95-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

Ten Mile Crossing located directly south of the site.
b. Policy:
Collector Street Policy: District policy 7206.2.1 states that the developer is responsible for
improving all collector frontages adjacent to the site or internal to the development as required
below, regardless of whether access is taken to all of the adjacent streets.
Master Street Map and Typologies Policy: District policy 7206.5 states that if the collector
street is designated with a typology on the Master Street Map, that typology shall be considered
for the required street improvements. If there is no typology listed in the Master Street Map,
then standard street sections shall serve as the default.
Street Section and Right-of-Way Policy: District policy 7206.5.2 states that the standard
right-of-way width for collector streets shall typically be 50 to 70-feet, depending on the location
and width of the sidewalk and the location and use of the roadway. The right-of-way width may
be reduced, with District approval, if the sidewalk is located within an easement; in which case
the District will require a minimum right-of-way width that extends 2-feet behind the back-of-
curb on each side.
The standard street section shall be 46-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb). This width typically
accommodates a single travel lane in each direction, a continuous center left-turn lane, and bike
lanes.
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.

with the street typology of Town Center Collector. The new collector roadway should align with
Wayfinder Avenue that stubs to the site's north property line and continue through the site
connecting to Wayfinder Avenue that stubs to the site's south property line. The Town Center
Collector typology as depicted in the Livable Street Design Guide recommends a 3-lane
roadway with bike lanes, and on street parking, a 60-foot street section within 88 feet of right-
of-way.
Landscape Medians Policy: District policy 7206.5.14 states that landscape medians are
permissible where adequate pavement width is provided on each side of the median to
accommodate the travel lanes and where the following is provided:
• The median is platted as right-of-way owned by ACHD.
9 TM Center/
MPP20-0023/ H-2020-0074
• The width of an island near an intersection is 12-feet maximum for a minimum distance of
150-feet. Beyond the 150-feet, the island may increase to a maximum width of 30-feet.
• At an intersection that is signalized or is to be signalized in the future, the median width shall
be reduced to accommodate the necessary turn lane storage and tapers.
• The Developer or Homeowners Association shall apply for a license agreement if
landscaping is to be placed within these medians.
• The license agreement shall contain the District's requirements of the developer including,
but not limited to, a"hold harmless" clause; requirements for maintenance by the developer;
liability insurance requirements; and restrictions.
• Vertical curbs are required around the perimeter of any raised median. Gutters shall slope
away from the curb to prevent ponding.
c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant submitted construction plans to complete the construction
of Wayfinder Avenue through the site. The construction plans were approved by ACHD on May

of-way line and 2-feet behind the back edge of the sidewalk. Sidewalks shall either be located
wholly within the public right-of-way or wholly within an easement.
ACHD Master Street Map: ACHD Policy Section 3111.1 requires the Master Street Map
(MSM) guide the right-of-way acquisition, collector street requirements, and specific roadway
features required through development. A new collector roadway was identified on the MSM
with the street typology of Town Center Collector. The new collector roadway should align New
Market Street that is proposed to stub to the site's south property line and continue through the
site to intersect Franklin Road. The Town Center Collector typology as depicted in the Livable
Street Design Guide recommends a 3-lane roadway with bike lanes, and on street parking, a
60-foot street section within 78 feet of right-of-way.
c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant has proposed to continue New Market Street into the site
along the site's east property line to intersect Cobalt Drive and continue north to intersect
Franklin Road. The applicant has proposed to construct New Market Street as a 47-foot wide
street section with vertical curb, gutter, an 8-foot wide planter strip and 5-foot wide detached
concrete sidewalks on the west side of the street and a 10-foot wide multi-use asphalt pathway
on the east side of the street. The applicant has proposed to dedicate 74-feet of right-of-way for
New Market street with 0.5-feet of right-of-way behind the back of sidewalk and the 10-foot wide
multi-use pathway partially within right-of-way.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal exceeds District policy which
requires a 5-foot wide detached (or 7-foot attached) sidewalks. At a minimum the applicant
should be required to construct a 5-foot wide detached sidewalk on the east side of New Market
Avenue and provide bike lanes consistent with the street section approved by ACHD for the
Ten Mile Crossing development. The street design is consistent with the TMISAP and the Town
Center Collector street typology in the MSM and should be approved as proposed.
The applicant should be required to dedicate additional right-of-way to total 2-feet behind the
back of sidewalk and/or the pathway. Sidewalk and/or pathways must be located wholly within
right-of-way or wholly within a permanent right-of-way easement. For detached sidewalks
and/or pathways located outside of the right-of-way, the applicant may provide a permanent
right-of-way easement that extends from the right-of-way line to 2-feet behind the back of
sidewalk/pathway.

12 TM Center/
MPP20-0023/ H-2020-0074
c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant has proposed to continue Cobalt Drive through the site
to the east to intersect New Market Avenue and stub to the site's east property line. The
applicant has proposed to construct Cobalt Drive as a 47-foot wide street section with vertical
curb, gutter, bike lanes, center turn lanes, 5 to 8-foot wide parkway strip, and 5-foot wide
detached concrete sidewalks within 74-feet of right-of-way.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal does not meet District policy
on one side of the street section that requires a 6-foot parkway strip between back-of-curb and
back-of-sidewalk. However, Staff recommends a modification of policy to allow the 5-foot
parkway strip as this design was previously approved for Cobalt Drive and Wayfinder Avenue.
The design is consistent with the TMISAP and the Town Center Collector street typology in the
MSM and should be approved as proposed.
8. Roadway Offsets
a. Existing Conditions: There are no roadways within the site.
b. Policy:
Collector Offset Policy: District policy 7205.4.7 states that optimum spacing for new
unsignalized collector roadways intersecting principal arterials is 1,320-feet as identified in

District policy 7205.4.2 states that the optimum spacing for new signalized collector roadways
intersecting principal arterials is one half-mile.
District policy 7206.4.2 states that the preferred spacing for new collectors intersecting existing
collectors is '/4 mile to allow for adequate signal spacing and alignment.
c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant proposed to construct New Market Avenue to intersect
Franklin Road 1,725-feet to the east of Wayfinder Avenue and align centerline-to-centerline with
a private drive to the north of Franklin Road. The applicant proposed to construct Cobalt Drive
to intersect New Market Avenue1,450-feet south of Franklin Road.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal to construct Cobalt Drive to
intersect New Market Avenue meets District policy and is consistent with the MSM and TMISAP
and should be approved, as proposed.
The applicant's proposal to construct New Market Avenue to intersect Franklin Road 1,725-feet
to the east of Wayfinder Avenue does not meet the District's Collector Offset policy which states
that the required offset for new signalized collector roadways intersecting principal arterials is
one half-mile. However, staff recommends a modification of policy to allow the proposed offset
due to the fact this roadway is shown in the TMISAP and MSM to intersect Franklin Road at this
location. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the proposed offset consistent with the
TMISAP and MSM.
9. Stub Streets
a. Existing Conditions: There are no 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 AND WIDENDED IN THE FUTURE."
In addition, stub streets must meet the following conditions:
13 TM Center/

• 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
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 stub Cobalt Drive to the site's east property
line and locate it 1,245-feet north of the site's south property line.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District policy and
should be approved, as proposed. The applicant should be required to install a sign at the
terminus of the stub street that states, "THIS IS A DESIGNATED COLLECTOR ROADWAY.
THIS STREET WILL BE EXTENDED AND WIDENDED IN THE FUTURE."
If New Market Avenue has not yet been constructed to stub to the site's south property, the
applicant should be required to install a sign at the terminus of the stub street for New Market
Avenue that states, "THIS IS A DESIGNATED COLLECTOR ROADWAY. THIS STREET WILL
BE EXTENDED AND WIDENDED IN THE FUTURE." If New Market Avenue has not yet been
constructed to stub to the site's south property line, the applicant should also be required to
construct a temporary cul-de-sac and shall be the dimensional requirements of a standard cul-
de-sac. The developer shall grant a temporary turnaround easement to the District for those
portions of the cul-de-sac which extend beyond the dedicated street right-of-way. In the
instance where a temporary easement extends onto a buildable lot, the entire lot shall be
encumbered by the easement and identified on the plat as a non-buildable lot until the street is
extended.
10. Driveways

a. Existing Conditions: There is a 45-foot wide paved curb return type driveway onto Franklin
Road located 1,715-feet east of Wayfinder Avenue. This is a 40-foot wide paved curb return
type driveway onto Franklin Road located 688-feet west of the site's east property line. There
is are two 15-foot wide unpaved residential driveways onto Franklin Road located 475-feet and
130-feet west of the site's east property line.
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
14 TM Center/
MPP20-0023/ H-2020-0074
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 to be located a minimum of 355-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 and be restricted to right-in/right-out only.
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: District policy 7205.4.4 states the guidelines 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 driveway exceeds 5,000 vehicles (total volume for entering
and exiting 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.
Minor Improvements Policy: District Policy 7202.3 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.
Cross Access Easements/Shared Access Policy: District Policy 7202.4.1 states that cross
access utilizes a single vehicular connection that serves two or more adjoining lots or parcels
so that the driver does not need to re-enter the public street system.
c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant has proposed to close the driveway located 1,175-feet
east of Wayfinder Avenue and the residential driveways located 475-feet and 130-feet west of
the site's east property line with curb, gutter and sidewalk to match existing improvements on
either side.
The applicant has proposed to replace the driveway located 688-feet west of the site's east
property line with the construction of New Market Avenue to intersect Franklin Road at that
location.

applicant's proposal to replace the driveway located 688-feet west of the site's east property
line with the construction of New Market Avenue meets District policy and is approved, as
proposed.
The applicant's proposal to construct the 2 driveways onto Franklin Road and locate them 750-
feet west of New Market Avenue and 620-feet east of New Market Avenue do not meet the
District's Number of Driveways on Arterials policy which requires a traffic analysis when more
than one access point onto an arterial is being requested with a development, and should not
be approved as proposed. This information was sent to the applicant prior to the development
application submittal. There was no supporting information included with the application
submittal to allow additional driveways from the site onto Franklin Road. If the applicant would
like to further pursue an additional driveway onto Franklin Road, a traffic analysis to
demonstrate that an additional driveway is necessary to service the site should be provided,
per District policy 7205.4.4.
