A. Findings of Fact
1. Description of Application: The applicant is requesting approval of annexation with a rezone of
10 acres from RUT (Rural-Urban Transition)to R-8 (Medium Density Residential) and a preliminary
plat to allow for the development of 73 lots consisting of 65 single family residential lots and 8
common lots. This application also includes a modification to an existing development agreement
with the City of Meridian to remove the R-4 zoned parcel from the existing agreement and enter
into a new agreement consistent with the proposed preliminary plat. The applicant's rezone
proposal is consistent with the City of Meridian's future land use map which designates medium
density residential in this area.

3. Site History: ACHD has not previously reviewed this site for a development application.
4. Adjacent Development: The following developments are pending or underway in the vicinity of
the site:
• Daphne Square, a 33 residential subdivision consisting of 30 residential lots and 3 common
lots located south of the site at the northeast corner of Black Cat Road and McMillan Road
was approved by ACHD in November 2020.
• Brody Square, a residential subdivision consisting of 65 residential lots, 7 common lots and 2
other lots is located south and west of the site and was approved by ACHD in May 2020.
• Summerwood, a residential subdivision consisting of 26 residential lots and 5 common lots,
located east and southeast of the site and was approved by ACHD in July 2017.
5. Transit: Transit services are not available to serve this site.
6. Pathway Crossings: United States Access Board R304.5.1.2 Shared Use Paths. In shared use
paths, the width of curb ramps runs and blended transitions shall be equal to the width of the shared
use path.
AASHTO's Guidelines for the Development of Bicycle Facilities 5.3.5 Other Intersection
Treatments: The opening of a shared use path at the roadway should be at least the same width
as the shared use path itself. If a curb ramp is provided, the ramp should be the full width of the
path, not including any flared sides if utilized. . . . Detectable warnings should be placed across the
full width of the ramp.
FHWA's "Designing Sidewalks and Trails for Access" (1999) reflected common ADA-related
concepts: Chapter 6, Page 16-6: The width of the ramp should be at least as wide as the average
width of the trail to improve safety for users who will be traveling at various speeds. In addition, the
overall width of the trail should be increased, so the curb ramp can be slightly offset to the side.
The increased width reduces conflict at the intersection by providing more space for users at the
bottom of the ramp.
7. New Center Lane Miles: The proposed development includes 0.47 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):
• The intersection of McMillan Road and Black Cat Road is scheduled in the IFYWP for the
installation of an interim traffic signal in 2022.
• Black Cat Road is listed in the CIP to be widened to 5-lanes from Ustick Road to McMillan
Road between 2031 and 2035.
• Black Cat Road is listed in the CIP to be widened to 5-lanes from McMillan Road to Chinden
Boulevard between 2036 and 2040.
• McMillan Road is listed in the CIP to be widened to 5-lanes from Black Cat Road to Ten Mile
Road between 2031 and 2035.
• The intersection of McMillan Road and Black Cat Road is listed in the CIP to be reconstructed
as a multi-lane roundabout with 4-lanes on the north leg, 4-lanes on the south, 2-lanes east,
and 2-lanes on the west leg, and between 2031 and 2035.

10. Roadways to Bikeways Master Plan: ACHD's Roadways to Bikeways Master Plan (BMP) was
adopted by the ACHD Commission in May of 2009 and was update in 2018. The plan seeks to
implement the Planned Bicycle Network to support bicycling as a viable transportation option for
Ada County residents with a wide range of ages and abilities, maintain bicycle routes in a state of
good repair in order to ensure they are consistently available for use, promote awareness of existing
bicycle routes and features and support encouragement programs and to facilitate coordination and
cooperation among local jurisdictions in implementing the Roadways to Bikeways Plan
recommendations.
The BMP identifies Black Cat Road as a Level 3 facility that will be constructed as part of a future
ACHD project and Gondola Drive, located north of the site, is identified as an existing Level 3 facility.
B. Traffic Findings for Consideration
1. Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate 595 additional vehicle trips per day
(19 existing); 63 additional vehicle trips per hour in the PM peak hour (2 existing), based on the
Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual, 10t" edition.
2. Condition of Area Roadways
Traffic Count is based on Vehicles per hour(VPH)

31, 2018.
• There are no current traffic counts for Daphne Street or Joy Street.
C. Findings for Consideration
1. Black Cat Road
a. Existing Conditions: Black Cat Road is improved with 2-travel lanes, 24-feet of pavement and
no curb, gutter or sidewalk abutting the site. There is 72-feet of right-of-way for Black Cat Road
(24-feet from centerline).
b. Policy:
3 Pera Place/ MPP21-0020/
H-2021-0056
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).
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 Black Cat Road is designated in the
MSM as a Residential Arterial with 5-lanes and on-street bike lanes, a 72-foot street section
within 100-feet of right-of-way.
c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to dedicate additional right-of-way to total 48-
feet from centerline of Black Cat Road abutting the site.
The applicant is proposing to construct 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk on Black Cat
Road abutting the site.
4 Pera Place/ MPP21-0020/
H-2021-0056
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: Consistent with the MSM, the applicant should be
required to dedicate additional right-of-way to total 50-feet from centerline of Black Cat Road
abutting the site. The additional dedicated right-of-way is impact fee eligible for compensation.
The applicant's proposal to construct 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk on Black Cat
Road abutting the site meets District policy and should be approved. Locate the sidewalk a
minimum of 43-feet from centerline of Black Cat Road abutting the site.
Provide a permanent right-of-way easement to 2-feet behind back of sidewalk for any sidewalk
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.
The applicant should be required to improve Black Cat Road with 17-feet of pavement from
centerline plus a 3-foot wide gravel shoulder abutting the site.
2. Off-Site Sidewalk — Black Cat Road
a. Existing sidewalk: There is 765-feet of 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk on the east side of Black
Cat Road, from the north property line of the site to Gondola Drive. This sidewalk was
constructed as required with Vicenza Subdivision and connects to sidewalk on Gondola Drive.
b. Required, but not yet constructed sidewalk: South of the site, ACHD has required the
construction of 1,215-feet of 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk on the east side of Black Cat Road,
with Brody Square and Daphne Square Subdivisions.
c. Sidewalk gap: Between the site, and Brody Square Subdivision, there is a parcel with 190-
feet of frontage on Black Cat Road that has not been developed. When the adjacent
subdivisions construct sidewalk, there will be a 190-foot sidewalk gap.

7. Driveways
7.1 Sepino Avenue
a. Existing Conditions: Sepino Avenue has not been constructed within the site.
b. Policy:
Driveway Location Policy: District policy 7207.4.1 requires driveways near intersections to be
located a minimum of 75-feet (measured centerline-to-centerline) from the nearest local street
intersection, and 150-feet from the nearest collector or arterial street intersection.
Successive Driveways: District Policy 7207.4.1 states that successive driveways away from an
intersection shall have no minimum spacing requirements for access points along a local street,
but the District does encourage shared access points where appropriate.
Driveway Width Policy: District policy 7207.4.3 states that where vertical curbs are required,
residential driveways shall be restricted to a maximum width of 20-feet and may be constructed
as curb-cut type driveways.
Driveway Paving Policy: Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance
problems due to gravel being tracked onto the roadway. In accordance with District policy,
7207.4.3, 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.
c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct a 20-foot wide shared access
driveway onto Sepino Avenue in alignment with Philomena Court.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal to construct a 20-foot wide
shared access driveway meet District policy and should be approved, as proposed.
8. Traffic Calming
a. Speed Control and Traffic Calming Policy: District policy 7207.3.7 states that the design of
local street systems should discourage excessive speeds by using passive design elements. If
10 Pera Place/ MPP21-0020/
H-2021-0056
the design or layout of a development is anticipated to necessitate future traffic calming
implementation by the District, or the streets extend greater than 750-feet in length, then the
District will require changes to the layout and/or the addition of passive design elements such as
horizontal curves, bulb-outs, chokers, etc. The District will also consider texture changes to the
roadway surface(i.e. stamped concrete)as a passive design element. These alternative methods
may require maintenance and/or license agreement.
b. Staff Comments/Recommendations: Avilla Drive, a stub street proposed at the site's west
property line, is proposed to be extended into the site which will create a long straight roadway
greater than 750-feet in length and will need to be redesigned to reduce the length of the roadway
or to include the use of passive design elements.
Speed humps/bumps and valley gutters will not be accepted as traffic calming.
The applicant should be required to submit a revised preliminary plat showing the redesigned
roadways for review and approval prior to plan approval and ACHD's signature on the first final
plat.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. Other Access
Black Cat Road is classified as a minor arterial roadway. Direct lot access is prohibited to this

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.

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
