Development Impacts
7.
Trip Generation:
This development is estimated to generate 1,675 additional vehicle trips per
day based on the submitted traffic impact study.
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.
9.
Traffic Impact Study: A traffic impact study was required with this application. Below are
the principal conclusions of the submitted TIS.
. The proposed development is project to generate an average daily traffic (ADT) volume of 1,675
vehicles of which the p.m. peak hour traffic is 177 vehicles per hour.
. As a result of the sit build-out, traffic on the roadways is expected to increase in the vicinity.
Traffic on McMillan Road may increase by 2S0 trips per day east and west of the site. Traffic on
Meridian Road may increase by 586 trips per day north and south of the site.
. The intersection of Meridian Road and McMillan Road is currently all-way STOP controll~d.
This intersection currently operates below capacity at Level of Service (LOS) Band 11.6
seconds of delay with the existing traffic volumes. For the Background Year 2010 condition
(e.g. regional growth), the intersection is predicted to operate at LOS B but the average delay
increases to 14.6 seconds. Under Year 2010 build-out conditions with the project-related traffic
plus the background traffic, the intersection is predicted to operate at LOS C with an average
delay of only 10.4 seconds. No improvements are needed to accommodate the background or
site-generated traffic volumes.
. The intersection of Linder Road and McMillan Road is currently all-way STOP controlled. This
intersection currently operates below capacity at Level of Service (LOS) A and 9.3 seconds of
delay with the existing traffic volumes. For the Background Year 2010 condition (e.g. regional
growth), the intersection is predicted to operate at LOS B but the average delay increases to
10.1 seconds. Under Year 2010 build-out conditions with the project-related traffic plus the
background traffic, the intersection is predicted to operate at LOS B with an average delay of
only 10.4 seconds. No improvements are needed to accommodate the background or site-
generated traffic volumes.
. The northern site access intersection with McMillan Road is predicted to operate well under
capacity at LOS B for the northbound traffic exiting the site during the p.m. peak hour.
However, the traffic analysis shows that two design improvements are needed at this
intersection.
0 Separate left and right turn lanes will be needed for the northbound approach (or a
sufficient roadway width), and
0 A westbound left-turn lane is need on McMillan Road.
Ambercreek
. The eastern site access intersection with Meridian Road is predicted to operate well under
capacity at LOS B for the eastbound traffic exiting the site during the p.m. peak hour. However,
the traffic analysis shows that two design improvements are needed at this intersection.
a Separate left and right turn lanes will be needed for the eastbound approach, and
a A northbound left-turn lane is need on Meridian Road.
. The forecast daily build-out volumes (Year 2010) for all of the roadways in the vicinity of the
project are lower than COMPASS' development thresholds. The area's roadways do not require
any capacity improvements under Year 2010 build-out conditions.
. Internally, all of the subdivision's streets with front-on housing have projected ADT volumes less
than 1,000 vehicles.

Capital Improvements Plan/Five Year Work Program-
There are currently no roadways, bridges or intersections in the general vicinity of the project that
are currently in the Five Year Work Program. McMillan Road from Meridian Road to Locust Grove
Road is scheduled in the District's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) to be widened to 3 lanes in 11 to
15 years. McMillan Road from Locust Grove Road to Eagle Road is scheduled in the CIP to be
widened to 5 lanes in 11 to 15 years.
B. Findings for Consideration
1.
McMillan Road
Right.of.Way Policy: District policy requires 96-feet of right-of-way on arterial roadways (Figure
72-F1 B). This right-of-way allows for the construction of a 5-lane roadway with curb, gutter, 5-foot
concrete detached sidewalks and bike lanes.
Sidewalk Policy: District policy requires 7-foot wide attached (or 5-foot detached) concrete
sidewalk on all collector roadways and arterial roadways (7204,7.2).
Staff Comment/Recommendation: As a part of the North Meridian Traffic Plan, it was noted that
a 3-lane roadway with curb, gutter, 5-foot concrete detached sidewalks and bike lanes within 70-
feet of right-of-way would be adequate to accommodate the projected traffic volumes on McMillan
Road. Due to the fact that the North Meridian Traffic Plan recommended a 70-foot right-of-way on
McMillan Road and the Commission has supported the recommendations in the past, staff is
3

recommending a total right-of-way width of 70-feet as opposed to 96-feet of right-of-way (48-feet
from centerline).
The Lemp Canal is located on the south side of McMillan Road. This canal is very large in nature
and would be extremely costly to relocate. Any right-of-way on McMillan Road will be acquired
from the north side of McMillan Road in order to allow the canal to remain in its current location. To
be consistent with the District's past action and to remain consistent with the location of McMillan
Road, staff recommends that the applicant not dedicate additional right-of-way abutting McMillan
Road.
In order to acquire the full required right-of-way abutting McMillan Road between Linder Road and
Meridian Road, the south side of McMillan Road will not dedicate additional right-of-way and the
north side of the roadway will dedicate 45-feet of right-of-way from centerline. This will provide for a
70-foot right-of-way that is consistent with the recommendations of the North Meridian Traffic Plan
and what has been acquired for other developments on McMillan Road.
Staff recommends that the applicant not dedicate additional right-of-way for McMillan Road in order
to keep the irrigation facilities (the Lemp Canal) outside of the District's right-of-way. Staff also
recommends that the 5-foot detached concrete sidewalk be located south of the Lemp Canal within
an easement provided to the District.
Based on the submitted traffic impact study, the applicant will be required to construct a westbound
left turn lane on McMillan Road at the north site access intersection.
2.
Meridian Road
Right-of-Way Policy: District policy requires 96~feet of right-of-way on arterial roadways (Figure
72-F1 B). This right-of-way allows for the construction of a 5,.lane roadway with curb, gutter, 5-foot
concrete detached sidewalks and bike lanes.
Sidewalk Policy: District policy requires 7-foot wide attached (or 5-foot detached) concrete
sidewalk on all collector roadways and arterial roadways (7204.7.2).
Staff Comment/Recommendation: As a part of the North Meridian Traffic Plan, it was noted that
a 3-lane roadway with curb, gutter, 5-foot concrete detached sidewalks and bike lanes within 70-
feet of right-of-way would be adequate to accommodate the projected traffic volumes on Meridian
Road. Due to the fact that the North Meridian Traffic Plan recommended a 70-foot right-of-way on
Meridian Road and the Commission has supported the recommendations in the past, staff is
recommending a total right-of-way width of 70-feet as opposed to 96-feet of right-of-way (48-feet
from centerline).
The adjoining road is not listed as a proposed project in the District's currently adopted Five-Year
Work Program or in the currently adopted 20-year Capital Improvements Plan. As such, the
applicant cannot receive reimbursement for dedicated right-of-way from available collected impact
fees. The applicant shall do one of the following:
a. Dedicate by donation a total of 35-feet of right-of-way along Meridian Road, and construct a
minimum 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk along Meridian Road, located a minimum of 28-feet from
the centerline of the right-of-way.
b. Do not dedicate additional right-of-way, but construct a minimum 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk
along Meridian Road, located a minimum of 28-feet from the centerline of the right-of-way, in an
easement provided to the District.
Ambercreek

c. Do not dedicate additional right-of-way, but construct a minimum 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk
along Meridian Road, located at the back edge of the existing right-of-way. Accomplish all
necessary adjustments to properly accommodate existing drainage and utilities.
The submitted traffic impact study requires a northbound left turn lane on Meridian Road to be
constructed at the eastern site access intersection. In lieu of constructing the required left turn lane,
the District will require that the applicant widen Meridian Road with 19-feet of pavement from
centerline. For developments abutting Meridian Road between McMillan Road and Ustick Road,
the District has required that developers widen the road with 19-feet of pavement from centerline
abutting their developments. The District is requiring this to prevent a "weaving" roadway with
unaligned center turn lanes. When the properties on the opposite side of the road develop, and
widen the road 19-feet from centerline, the District will stripe a center turn lane the entire length of
the roadway.
3.
Internal Streets
Right-of-Way Policy: District policy 7204.4.1 and Figure 72-F1A requires 50-feet of right-of-way
on local streets. This right-of-way allows for the construction of a 2-lane roadway with curb, gutter
and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalks.
36-foot Street Section Policy: District policy 7204.4.2 states, "developments with any buildable lot
that is less that 1-acre in size will typically provide streets having a minimum pavement width of 32-
feet with curb, gutter and sidewalks. The total street width shall be 36-feet from back-of-curb to
back-of-curb. Concrete sidewalks shall be a minimum of 5-feet in width unless they are separated
from the curb 5-feet or more in which case the sidewalk shall be a minimum of 4-feet in width.
33-foot Street Section Policy: District policy 72-F1 A, allows local residential public roads with a
33-foot street section with parking on both sides of the roadway, if the amount of vehicle trips per
day on the street does not exceed 1,000 and the appropriate fire department reviews and approves
the street.section.
Island Policy: District policy 7202.7 and 7207.5 require islands to be constructed a minimum of 4-
feet wide with a minimum area of 1 OO-square feet and designed to safely channel traffic. The
roadway on either side of the traffic island should maintain a minimum of a 21-foot street section.
District policy also requires any proposed landscape islands/medians within the public right-of-way
dedicated by this plat should be owned and maintained by a homeowners association. Notes of
this should be required on the final plat. The design should be reviewed and approved by ACHD's
Development staff.
Applicant Proposal (Internal streets): The applicant is proposing to construct the internal streets
as 34 -foot street sections with curb, gutter, 4-foot detached concrete sidewalks, and 8-foot planter
strips. The applicant has proposed several center landscape islands throughout the development.
The applicant has proposed 21-foot street sections on each side of the proposed islands.
Staff Comment/Recommendation: The applicant's proposals meet District policy. The Meridian
Fire Department will not approve the 33-foot street section; they prefer a 34-foot street section.
Therefore, the applicant's proposal for 34-foot street sections is consistent with previous approvals
in the City of Meridian.
Based on the submitted traffic impact study, the applicant will be required to provide sufficient
pavement width on the two site entrance roadway intersections (Ambercreek Avenue intersecting
McMillan Road, and Lava Falls Drive intersecting Meridian Road) to accommodate simultaneous
left and right turn movements.
Ambercreek
6
4.
Traffic Calming
Policy: District policy 7202.2.6 states that the design of local street systems should discourage
excessive speeds by using curvilinear alignment and/or breaks in the street system.
Staff Comment/Recommendation: There are two roadways (Red Rock Drive and Elsinore
Avenue) within the development that are approximately 1,000 feet in length or longer and will
require some form of traffic calming. The applicant will be required to provide traffic calming along
these local streets (i.e. chokers, bulb-outs, traffic circles, etc.). The applicant should coordinate the
location and design of the traffic calming devices with District Traffic Services staff.
5.
Tree Planters
Tree Planter Policy: The District's Tree Planter Width Interim Policy prohibits all trees in planters
less than 6-feet in width. In addition to prohibiting trees in planters less than 6-feet in width, the
policy requires a minimum planter width of 6-feet for class II tress with the installation of root
barriers on both sides of the planter strip or a minimum planter width of a-feet without the
installation of a root barrier. The policy also requires Class I and Class III trees to provide a
minimum planter width of 10-feet. '
6.
Stub Streets
Stub Street Policy: District policy 7203.5.1 states that the street design in a proposed development
shall cause no undue hardship to adjoining property. An adequate and convenient access to
adjoining property for use in future development may be required. If a street ends at the
development boundary, it shall meet the requirements of sub section 7205, "non-continuous
streets." District policy 7205.5 states that stub streets will be required to provide intra-neighborhood
circulation or to provide access to adjoining properties. Stub streets will conform with the
requirements described in Section 7204.5, 7204.6 and 7204.7, except a temporary cul-de-sac will
not be required if the stub street has a length no greater than 150-feet. A sign shall be installed at
the terminus of the stub street stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE"
In addition, a stub street must meet the following conditions:
1. A stub street shall be designed to slope towards the street intersection and drain surface
water toward that intersection, unless a satisfactory storm drain system is installed.
2. The District may require appropriate covenants guaranteeing that the stub street will
remain free of obstructions.
Applicant Proposal: The applicant has proposed two stub streets to the south, two the west, and
one to the east. The stub streets are proposed to be located as follows:
. First stub street to the south, Alester Avenue, is proposed to be located 200-feet west of
Meridian Road (measured centerline to centerline).
. Second stub street to the south, Elsinore Avenue, is proposed to be located 420-feet east of the
west property line (measured property line to centerline).
. First stub to the west, Red Rock Drive, is proposed to be located 160-feet north of the south
property line (measured property line to centerline).
. Second stub to the west, Peach Springs Drive, is proposed to be located 6g0-feet north of the
south property line (measured property line to centerline).
. Stub street to the east. Havasu Falls Drive, is proposed to be located 215-feet south of McMillan
Road (measured centerline to centerline).
Staff Comment/Recommendation: The first stub street to the west, Red Rock Drive should align
with the previously approved stub street, Sage Spring Drive, within Cedar Springs Subdivision,
located to the west of this site. Each proposed stub street is less than 150-feet in length and wiii not
Ambercreek
7
require a temporary turnaround. The City of Meridian has requested that the second stub street to
the south, Elsinore Avenue, be shifted east approximately 240-feet to generally align with the
micropaths that lead to the park site in the northern part of the subdivision. District staff is
supportive of the City's request.
7.
Roadway Offsets
Roadway Offset Policy: District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a
minimum of 300-feet from an arterial roadway (measured centerline to centerline).
District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 125-feet from
another local roadway (measured centerline to centerline).
Applicant Proposal: The applicant has proposed one roadway to intersect Meridian Road, Lava
Falls Drive, approximately 440-feet north of the south property line (measured property line to
centerline). The applicant has proposed one roadway to intersect McMillan Road, Amber Creek
Avenue, approximately 355-feet west of the east property line (measured property line to
centerline).
Staff Comment/Recommendation: The applicant's proposals meet District policy; however, the
City of Meridian has requested that the entrance street on Meridian Road, Lava Falls Drive, be
shifted to the north in order to provide access to the 5-acre parcel located at the southwest corner
of the intersection of McMillan and Meridian Roads. If the applicant does not wish to shift the
entrance road, the City requests that a stub street in alignment with Alester Ave.nue be constructed
to the 5-acre parcel.
8.
Bridge for Lemp Canal Crossing
The District will require that the applicant submit the bridge plans for the crossing of the Lemp
Canal (Ambercreek Avenue) for review and approval prior to the pre-construction meeting and plat
approval.
9.
Alleys
Alley Policy: District policy 7204.10.1 requires the minimum right-of-way width for new alleys to be
16-feet if: the alley is abutted by residential uses and zoning on both sides; and building setbacks
required by the land use agency having jurisdiction provide sufficient space for the safe backing of
vehicles into the alley; and 20-feet in all other situations. Dedication of clear title to the right-of-way
and the improvement of the right-of-way, and acceptance of the improvement by the District as
meeting its construction standards, are required for all alleys contained in a proposed development.
The alley shall be improved by paving the full width and length of the right-of-way. Access is
allowed to and from a fully improved alley (District policy 7204.10.2). Parking shall be designed so
the minimum clear distance from the back of the parking stall to the opposite side of the alley is 22-
feet for perpendicular parking. An access to an alley shall be located a minimum of 25-feet from the
nearest public street.
Access Policy: Access is allowed to and from a fully improved alley (District policy 7204.10.2).
Parking shall be designed so the minimum clear distance from the back of the parking stall to the
opposite side of the alley is 22-feet for perpendicular parking. An access to an alley shall be located
a minimum of 25-feet from the nearest public street.
Intersection Policy: District Policy 7204.10.3 states a minimum of back-of-curb radius of 15-feet is
required at all alley intersections.

Design Policy: District policy 7202.6 states that alleys shall connect to a public street at each end
and shall not terminate in dead-ends. Alleys with curves are not allowed without specific District
approval taken on good cause shown. Curves shall have a minimum inside radius of 26-feet.
Applicant Proposal: The applicant has proposed two east-west alleys and one north-south alley
within the development. The alleys are designed to intersect public streets at each end, and the
alleys do not have curves.
Staff Comment/Recommendation: The applicant's proposal meets District policy, and should be
approved with this application.
10.
Knuckles
Knuckle Policy: District policy District policy 7202.7 and 7207.5 and the local Fire District
standards require an island within a knuckle to be constructed with the island being a minimum of
4-feet wide with a minimum area of 1 OO-square feet and designed to safely channel traffic. The
roadway around the traffic island should maintain a minimum of a 29-foot street section. The
design should be reviewed and approved by ACHD's Oevelopment staff.
Staff Comment/Recommendation: The applicant has proposed one knuckle with no landscape
island.
11.
