Franden, President Rebecca W. Arnold, 1st Vice President Sherry R. Huber, 2nd Vice President Dave Bivens, Commissioner Carol A. McKee, Commissioner XWTEIVED JAN 2 k 4'%1 City of AVleridian City Clerk Office This is a staff level approval of a short plat for Halker Subdivision. On June 8, 2005 the Ada County Highway District Commissioners approved a commercial use permit application (MCUP-05-0029) proposed to contain a Walgreens. The District had site specific requirements related to the right-of-way and sidewalks. The same conditions and restrictions apply to the proposed short plat. Attached is a copy of the staff report for MCUP-05-0029. On December 11, 2006 the District received a short plat application that proposed to split the site lot. The District does not have any additional requirements at this time. The applicant will be required to pay all applicable platting and review fees prior to final approval. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 208-387-6177.

Franklin Road Boise, ID 83709 Representative: Roylance & Associates 391 W. State Street, Suite E Eagle, ID 83616 Right -of -Way & Development Department Planning Review Division Application Information: The applicant is proposing to construct a 14,490-square foot drug store with drive thru pharmacy and a future retail pad site. There is a church on the site that exists today. Acreage: 2.61 Current Zoning: R-4 (Residential) Proposed Zoning: C-G (Commercial) Proposed Square Feet: 14,490-square foot Walgreens, with future retail pad 1 A. Findings of Fact Existing Conditions Site Information: The site is currently used for a church. 2. Description of Adjacent Surrounding ,Area: Direction Land Use Zoning North Residential R-4 South Commercial/Office L-O East Residential R-4 West Medical office R-4 3. Existing Roadway Improvements Adjacent To and Near the Site • Cherry Lane is improved to 5-lanes with curb, gutter and sidewalk on both sides of the roadway. • Ten Mile Road is improved to 5-lanes with curb, gutter and sidewalk on both sides of the roadway. The roadway tapers to 3-lanes just north of this site. 4. Existing Right -of -Way • Cherry Lane has 80-feet total of existing right-of-way. • Ten Mile Road has 60 to 70-feet of right-of-way. 5. Existing Access: The church utilizes two driveways, one on Cherry Lane located approximately 200-feet east of Ten Mile Road, and one on Ten Mile Road approximately 200-feet north of Cherry Lane. 6. Site History: The church use was constructed prior to the early 1990's when ACHD began reviewing development applications. Development Impacts 7. Trip Generation: At full build out the site will generate a total driveway volume of 2,145 vehicles per day with a peak hour loading of 285 vehicles per hour. Approximately 48% of the site traffic volumes will be attracted from the adjacent arterial. At full build out the site will add 1,115 new trips to the regional road network, 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 a building permit. The assessed impact fee will be based on the impact fee ordinance that is in effect at that time. 9. Impacted Roadways: Roadway Frontage Functional Classification Traffic Count Level of Service Speed Limit Nearest Intersection Cherry Lane 343-feet Principal 15,719 on 5-5-04 Better 35 MPH Signalized at arterial e/o of Ten Mile than C Ten Mile Road Road Ten Mile Road 288-feet Minor arterial 12,142 on 5-5-04 Better 35 MPH Signalized n/o Cherry Lane than C ■ 10. Capital Improvements Plan/Five Year Work Program • Ten Mile Road is listed in the current FYWP for construction in 2008, to widen the roadway from 2 to 5-lanes from Cherry Lane to Ustick Road. • Ten Mile Road is listed in the current FYWP for construction in 2007, to widen the roadway from 2 to 5-lanes from Franklin Road to Cherry Lane. • Ten Mile Interchange: The Ten Mile Interchange (proposed) is listed in the COMPASS Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) B. Findings for Consideration Traffic Impact Study The TIS was submitted by Pat Dobie of Dobie Engineering Inc., for a 14,490-square foot pharmacy and a 3,500-square bank. Summary ❖ At full buildout the site will produce a total driveway volume of 2,145 vpd with a peak hour loading of 285 vph. Approximately 48% of the site traffic volume will be attracted from the adjacent retail. At full buildout the site will add 1,115 new trips to the regional road network. ❖ The data indicates that the intersection will conform to acceptable service level standards for a signalized intersection with the addition of the site generated traffic. ❖ Neither of the proposed driveways conflict with the left -turn lane requirements. ❖ Vehicles entering the site from either Ten Mile Road or Cherry Lane will experience very little delay and minimal queue stacking during the peak hour periods. ❖ Vehicles exiting the site to Cherry Lane will experience moderate delay. ❖ A separate left -turn lane should be provided with a stacking length for at least 1 vehicle (25-feet). ❖ A deceleration lane is recommended for the Ten Mile approach.

Right -of -Way Policy: District policy requires 96-feet of right-of-way on minor arterial roadways (Figure 72- F1 B). This right-of-way width allows for the construction of a 5-lane roadway with curb, gutter, 5-foot wide detached sidewalks and bike lanes. Additional right-of-way is required at the intersections. Some principal arterials require 120-feet of right-of-way. Applicant Proposal: The applicant has not proposed to dedicate any additional right-of- way. Staff Recommendation: Additional right-of-way will be necessary on Cherry Lane & Ten Mile Road for future widening relative to the construction of the Ten Mile Interchange. • Ten Mile Road: The applicant should dedicate right-of-way to total 54-feet from centerline. This will accommodate a future 6-lane roadway (two -through lanes in each direction with dual left turn lanes). The applicant cannot be compensated for this right-of-way through the impact fee program because this segment of Ten Mile Road is not listed in the current CIP. However, staff recommends that corridor preservation funds be used to purchase the right-of-way. OR The applicant may dedicate 48-feet of right-of-way from centerline and provide a 6-foot wide easement for future sidewalk and utility corridor. • Cherry Lane: The applicant should dedicate an additional 6-feet of right-of-way from what is existing. This will accommodate a future 6-lane roadway (two -through lanes in each direction with dual left turn lanes). The applicant cannot be compensated for this right-of-way with impact fees because this segment of Cherry Lane is not listed in the CIP. However, staff recommends that corridor preservation funds be used to purchase the right-of-way. OR The applicant may provide a 6-foot wide easement for future sidewalk and utility corridor in lieu of dedicating the right-of-way. 3. Roadway Improvements Staff Recommendation: The roadways are fully improved and no additional improvements are required, with the exception of future intersection improvements to be constructed by ACHD, and the decal lane on Ten Mile Road recommended with the submitted TIS. 4. Cherry Lane Driveway Policy: District policy requires driveways on principal arterials to be located a minimum of 440-feet from a signalized intersection for full access. Right-in/right-out driveways may be allowed at 220-feet from the intersection. Beyond the intersection offsets, driveways are required to align, or offset a minimum of 150-feet. All dimensions are measured near -edge to near -edge. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct a full access driveway at the east property line, located 330-feed east of the signalized intersection at Ten Mile Road, and 60-feet west of an existing commercial driveway on the south side of Cherry Lane. Staff Recommendation and Analysis: When ACHD reviewed the commercial development on the south side of Cherry Lane, it was not thought that the church site would redevelop. That applicant was allowed to construct a right-in/right-out driveway located 230-feet east of the intersection, restricted with an on -site median, so as not to restrict the church access located approximately 170-feet east of Ten Mile Road. That site also constructed a full access driveway located approximately 150-feet east of the right-in/right-out driveway. Both driveway locations were constructed in conformance with District policy. (See aerial map for driveways.) 4 The applicant is proposing to construct this driveway at the east property line. This location does not meet any dimensional policy established by ACHD, as it is located closer than 440- feet to the intersection, and within 60-feet of a full access commercial driveway on the south side of Cherry Lane. Staff recommends that the applicant construct a right-in/right-out driveway on Cherry Lane 5. Ten Mile Road Driveway Policy: District policy requires driveways on minor arterials to be located a minimum of 440- feet from a signalized intersection for full access. Right-in/right-out driveways may be allowed at 220-feet from the intersection. Driveways may be allowed 315-feet from the intersection where driveway volumes are less than 1,000 vpd, and where there is no intervening right-in/right-out driveway. Beyond the intersection offsets, driveways are required to align, or offset a minimum of 150-feet. All dimensions are measured near -edge to near -edge. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct a full access driveway at the north property line, located 310-feet north of the signalized intersection at Cherry Lane, 95- feet north of an existing medical office driveway on the west side of Ten Mile Road, and approximately 70-feet south of Woodmont Street that intersects the west side of Ten Mile Road. The applicant's site plan includes the usage of an existing driveway located adjacent to the north property line of this site. That driveway is for a single family dwelling, and for a City well lot. Staff spoke with that: property owner who indicated that he has not given his consent for incorporation of his driveway in this site plan. Staff Recommendation and Analysis: When ACHD reviewed the office development on the west side of Ten Mile Road, a driveway was approved located 200-feet north of Cherry Lane. It was noted with that approval that a variance was being granted, and that the driveway could be restricted to right-in/right-out when a signal was installed at Ten Mile and Cherry Lane. The proposed driveway location does not meet policy under any scenario, relative to offsets from the signalized intersection and from other streets or driveways. However, the applicant has requested at least one full access driveway into this site to serve the customer base north of Cherry Lane. If a full access driveway is not constructed then customers will make U-turn movements in other locations to access the site. This driveway location has been reviewed by ACHD Traffic Services staff for full access movements. When compared to the Cherry Lane driveway, the Ten Mile Road driveway has fewer conflicts and more in -bound stacking for those entering the site from the north. Staff recommends a modification of policy to allow a full access driveway on Ten Mile Road, provided that a cross access agreement is reached with the adjacent property owner (Vance). As with any access point on a public roadway, ACHD can restrict access in the future for safety reasons. Staff is also concerned with the driveway being shown on the plans without the consent of the adjacent property owner. The applicant should provide written documentation from that owner that provides consent and cross access. If an agreement is not reached with the adjacent owner, then the driveway, will need to be shifted to the south and the applicant will need to submit revised drawings. The driveway location and function will need to be re- evaluated under that scenario, and full access would not likely be recommended. 6. Driveway Closure The applicant should be required to close the unused curb cuts on Cherry Lane and Ten Mile Pnwri With matrhinn riiirh ni HF4cr nnrr giAMIAIMlk 5 C. Note to City of Meridian If the applicant does not receive consent from the adjacent property owner on Ten Mile Road to utilize that property with this application, then this application is not approved. Under that circumstance the applicant would need to submit a revised site plan and the driveway location and function (i.e. restricted access vs. full access) would be re-evaluated. D. Site Specific Conditions of Approval Dedicate 54-feet of right-of-way from the centerline of Ten Mile Road abutting the parcel by means of a warranty deed. The right-of-way purchase and sale agreement and deed must be completed and signed by the applicant prior to issuance of a building permit (or other required permits). Allow up to 30 business days to process the right-of-way dedication after receipt of all requested material. The owner will be paid the fair market value of the right-of-way dedicated which is an addition to existing ACHD right-of-way if the owner submits a letter of application to the impact fee administrator prior to breaking ground. Compensation will be non -impact fee eligible. OR The applicant may dedicate 48-feet from centerline and provide a 6-foot wide sidewalk/utility easement beyond the 48-feet. 2. Dedicate 6-feet of right-of-way from the existing right-of-way line abutting the parcel by means of a warranty deed. The right-of-way purchase and sale agreement and deed must be completed and signed by the applicant prior to issuance of a building permit (or other required permits). Allow up to 30 business days to process the right-of-way dedication after receipt of all requested material. The owner will boa paid the fair market value of the right-of-way dedicated which is an addition to existing ACHD right-of-way if the owner submits a letter of application prior to breaking ground. Compensation will be non -impact fee eligible. OR The applicant may provide a 6-foot wide sidewalk/utility easement in lieu of right-of-way. 3. Construct a 24 to 30-foot wide curb return right-in/right-out driveway on Cherry Lane located at the west property line. Construct a median in Cherry Lane from Ten Mile Road to a point approximately 50-feet east of the driveway. The median should be constructed to restrict this driveway, but should not interfere with the full access movements of the driveway to the south and east. The driveway may shift westward, no more than 50-feet, to provide a larger buffer to the residence to the east. 4. Construct a 30 to 35-foot wide curb return driveway on Ten Mile Road located at the north property line as proposed; provided that the adjoining property owner (Vance) has agreed to a portion of the driveway being constructed on his property. Submit written documentation from that owner for consent and cross access. If an agreement is not reached with the adjacent owner, then the driveway will need to be shifted to the south and the applicant will need to submit revised drawings and the driveway location and function will need to be re-evaluated. 5. Close any curb cuts or driveways that have not been approved with this application, with curb, gutter and sidewalk to match existing improvements. O 6. Comply with all Standard Conditions, of Approval. E. Site Specific Conditions of Approval Any existing irrigation facilities shall be relocated outside of the right-of-way. 2. All utility relocation costs associated with improving street frontages abutting the site shall be borne by the developer. 3.

The applicant shall submit revised plans for staff approval, prior to issuance of building permit (or other required permits), which incorporates any required design changes. 7. Construction, use and property development shall be in conformance with all applicable requirements of the Ada County Highway District prior to District approval for occupancy. 8. Payment of applicable road impact fees are required prior to building construction in accordance with Ordinance #200, also known as Ada County Highway District Road Impact Fee Ordinance. 9. It is the responsibility of the applicant to verify all existing utilities within the right-of-way. The applicant at no cost to ACHD shall repair existing utilities damaged by the applicant. The applicant shall be required to call DIGLINE (1-800-342-1585) at least two full business days prior to breaking ground within ACHD right-of-way. The applicant shall contact ACHD Traffic Operations 387-6190 in the event any ACHD conduits (spare or filled) are compromised during any phase of construction. 10. No change in the terms and conditions of this approval shall be valid unless they are in writing and signed by the applicant or the applicant's authorized representative and an authorized representative of the Ada County Highway District. The burden shall be upon the applicant to obtain written confirmation of any change from the Ada County Highway District. 11.
