HomeMy WebLinkAboutAviator Subdivision V1DATE: 12/21/2021 TO: Joseph Dodson REVIEWER: Lieutenant Shawn Harper SUBJECT: H-2021-0096 PROJECT NAME: Aviator Subdivision POLICE DEPARTMENT SUMMARY OF REPORT: 1. Police Response Time- The proposed Southridge South development application is approximately 4.2 miles from the Meridian Police Department. The expected response time to this area in an emergency is 3:56 minutes. The average emergency response time in the City of Meridian is 3:41 minutes. Emergency calls are defined as an emergency response with lights and sirens and driving as authorized for an emergency vehicle. The Meridian Police Department response time goal for emergencies is within 3-5 minutes. Between 12/01/2019- 11/30/2021, the Meridian Police Department responded to 2591 calls for service within a mile of the proposed development. The crime count on the calls for service was 234. See attached documents for details. Between 12/01/2019- 11/30/2021, the Meridian Police Department responded to 52 crashes within a mile of the proposed development. See attached documents for details. 2. Accessibility – The Meridian Police Department has no concerns with access into the proposed development. Any shared driveways shall have address signs at each entrance and the roadways shall be maintained for police response. 3. Resource needs The Meridian Police Department can service this development if approved. The Meridian Police Department already serves this geographic area to the east, south and north. 4. Other comments- The Meridian Police Department has some concerns with traffic congestion onto W. Aviator Street and onto Black Cat Rd during peak times at the nearby school (Drop off and pick-up). The Meridian Police Department also has concerns with student/visitor parking within the subdivision during school hours as the school continues to grow. All qualified open space provided in the development, to include all amenities, must be in an open area in order to allow for natural observation opportunities. Pathways and landscaping should not create hiding spots or blind spots that would promote criminal opportunities. The Meridian Police Department will support all Community Development Staff recommendations, Traffic Impact Studies from ITD and or ACHD to improve access, roadways, intersections, pathways and sidewalks before the project if fully completed.
