C. Findings for Consideration
1. South Meridian Transportation Plan
The South Meridian Transportation Plan (SMTP) is a long range planning tool used to identify
future roadway, intersection, and corridor needs in the South Meridian Area, providing a
framework for future roadway improvements based on the land use designations. The plan was
created in collaboration with the City of Meridian and was adopted by the ACHD Commission in
September of 2009. The plan calls for the segment of Locust Grove Road abutting this
development to be constructed as a 5-lane arterial roadway within 96-feet of right-of-way, along
with the widening of the intersection of Locust Grove Road with Overland Road.
2. Locust Grove Road
a. Existing Conditions: At the site's north property line, within the influence area of the Locust
Grove/Overland intersection, Locust Grove Road is improved with 5-travel lanes, vertical curb,
gutter and 8-foot wide attached sidewalks. As the roadway extends south, Locust Grove
Road tapers to 2-lanes with no curb, gutter or sidewalk abutting the site. A dedicated
eastbound right turn lane is provided on Locust Grove Road to access Puffin Street. There is
99 to 93-feet of right-of-way for Locust Grove Road (49-feet from centerline).
2 MPP17-0026 / H-2017-0082
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.
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.
Frontage Improvements Policy: District Policy 7205.2.1 states that the developer shall
widen the pavement to a minimum of 17-feet from centerline plus a 3-foot wide gravel
shoulder adjacent to the entire site. Curb, gutter and additional pavement widening may be
required (See Section 7205.5.5).
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 Locust Grove Road is designated in
the MSM as a Residential Arterial with 5-lanes and on-street bike lanes, a 71-foot street
section within 96-feet of right-of-way.
3 MPP17-0026 / H-2017-0082
c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk
on Locust Grove Road where it does not currently exist abutting the site. The sidewalk is
proposed to be located 41-feet from centerline.
The applicant has proposed a permanent sidewalk easement in-lieu of deeded right-of-way.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal to construct 5-foot wide
concrete sidewalk on Locust Grove Road located 41-feet from centerline abutting the site
meets District policy and should be approved. The applicant should be required to provide a
permanent right-of-way easement for detached sidewalks located outside of the dedicated
right-of-way.
To accommodate the future widening of the Locust Grove Road/Overland Road intersection,
as noted in the CIP, the applicant should be required to dedicate additional right-of-way at the
site's north property line to total 54-feet from centerline, tapering to 49-feet from the centerline
of Locust Grove Road abutting the site. A permanent sidewalk easement in-lieu of deeded
right-of-way is acceptable for this application.
The applicant should be required to widen the pavement on Locust Grove Road to a minimum
of 17-feet from centerline plus a 3-foot gravel shoulder adjacent to the site where it does not
already exist.
Consistent with ACHD's Minor Improvement policy, the applicant should be required to
replace any broken or deteriorated portions of the existing sidewalk abutting the site.
This segment of Locust Grove Road is listed on the ACHD no-cut moratorium until 2019. All
pavement cuts to Locust Grove Road must be approved by the ACHD pavement cut
committee.
3. Puffin Street
a. Existing Conditions: Puffin Street is improved with 2-travel lanes, vertical curb and gutter
abutting the site. No sidewalk exists abutting the site. There is 60-feet of right-of-way for
Puffin Street (25-feet from centerline).
b. Policy:
Local Roadway Policy: District Policy 7207.2.1 states that the developer is responsible for
improving all local street frontages adjacent to the site regardless of whether or not access is
taken to all of the adjacent streets.
Street Section and Right-of-Way Policy: District Policy 7207.5 states that right-of-way
widths for all local streets shall generally not be less than 50-feet wide and that the standard
street section shall be 36-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb). The District will consider the
utilization of a street width less than 36-feet with written fire department approval.
Standard Urban Local Street-36-foot to 33-foot Street Section and Right-of-way Policy:
District Policy 7207.5.2 states that the standard street section shall be 36-feet (back-of-curb to
back-of-curb) for developments with any buildable lot that is less than 1 acre in size. This
street section shall include curb, gutter, and minimum 5-foot concrete sidewalks on both sides
and shall typically be within 50-feet of right-of-way.
The District will also consider the utilization of a street width less than 36-feet with written fire
department approval. Most often this width is a 33-foot street section (back-of-curb to back-
of-curb)for developments with any buildable lot that is less than 1 acre in size.
Sidewalk Policy: District Policy 7207.5.7 states that five-foot wide concrete sidewalk is
required on both sides of all local street, except those in rural developments with net densities
of one dwelling unit per 1.0 acre or less, or in hillside conditions where there is no direct lot
frontage, in which case a sidewalk shall be constructed along one side of the street. Some
local jurisdictions may require wider sidewalks.
4 MPP17-0026 / H-2017-0082
The sidewalk may be placed next to the back-of-curb. Where feasible, a parkway strip at least
8-feet wide between the back-of-curb and the street edge of the sidewalk is recommended to
provide increased safety and protection of pedestrians and to allow for the planting of trees in
accordance with the District's Tree Planting Policy. If no trees are to be planted in the
parkway strip, the applicant may submit a request to the District, with justification, to reduce
the width of the parkway strip.
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.

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 7205.4.6 states that direct access to minor 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 la under District policy 7205.4.6, unless a waiver for the access point has been
approved by the District Commission.
Driveway Location Policy: District policy 7205.4.5 requires driveways located on minor
arterial roadways from a signalized intersection with a single left turn lane shall be located a

more) to a maximum width of 36-feet. Curb return type driveways with 30-foot radii will be
required for high-volume driveways with 100 VTD or more.
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.
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.

Ada County Utility Coordinating Council
Developer/Local Improvement District
Right of Way Improvements Guideline Request
Purpose: To develop the necessary avenue for proper notification to utilities of local highway and road
improvements, to help the utilities in budgeting and to clarify the already existing process.
1) Notification: Within five (5) working days upon notification of required right of way
improvements by Highway entities, developers shall provide written notification to the affected
utility owners and the Ada County Utility Coordinating Council (UCC). Notification shall include
but not be limited to, project limits, scope of roadway improvements/project, anticipated
construction dates, and any portions critical to the right of way improvements and coordination
of utilities.
2) Plan Review: The developer shall provide the highway entities and all utility owners with
preliminary project plans and schedule a plan review conference. Depending on the scale of
utility improvements, a plan review conference may not be necessary, as determined by the
utility owners. Conference notification shall also be sent to the UCC. During the review meeting
the developer shall notify utilities of the status of right of way/easement acquisition necessary
for their project. At the plan review conference each company shall have the right to appeal,
adjust and/or negotiate with the developer on its own behalf. Each utility shall provide the
developer with a letter of review indicating the costs and time required for relocation of its
facilities. Said letter of review is to be provided within thirty calendar days after the date of the
plan review conference.
3) Revisions: The developer is responsible to provide utilities with any revisions to preliminary
plans. Utilities may request an updated plan review meeting if revisions are made in the
preliminary plans which affect the utility relocation requirements. Utilities shall have thirty days
after receiving the revisions to review and comment thereon.
4) Final Notification: The developer will provide highway entities, utility owners and the UCC with
final notification of its intent to proceed with right of way improvements and include the
anticipated date work will commence. This notification shall indicate that the work to be
performed shall be pursuant to final approved plans by the highway entity. The developer shall
schedule a preconstruction meeting prior to right of way improvements. Utility relocation activity
shall be completed within the times established during the preconstruction meeting, unless
otherwise agreed upon.
Notification to the Ada County UCC can be sent to: 50 S. Cole Rd. Boise 83707, or Visit
iducc.com for e-mail notification information.

Request for Reconsideration of Commission Action
1. 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.

cover administrative costs, as established by the Commission.
