A. Findings of Fact
1. Description of Application: The applicant is requesting approval of a preliminary plat to
construct 59 single family residential lots and 8 common lots on 17.3-acres. The site is currently
zoned R-8 (Medium density Residential) and is consistent with the City of Meridian's Future land
use map.
2. Description of Adjacent Surrounding Area:
Direction Land Use Zoning
North Medium-low density Residential R-4
South Medium-low density Residential R-4
East Medium density Residential R-8
West Medium-low density Residential R-4
3. Site History: ACHD previously reviewed this site as part of Kilgore Heights/MPP-06-052/MAZ-
06-051 in December 2006. The requirements of this staff report are not consistent with those of
the prior action as the current application does not have access to Kentucky Way, therefore
access will be taken from Victory Road; and an additional stub street to the east is proposed.
4. Adjacent Development: The following developments are pending or underway in the vicinity of
the site:
• Kentucky Villas, an 8-lot single family development, located directly west of the site was
approved by ACHD in July 2015.
1 Timberline Subdivision/ MPP17-0039/
H-2017-0140-PP
• Revolution Ridge (Kentucky Ridge Estates #3), consisting of 64 single-family residential lots,
is located north of the site is in various phases of development and was approved by the
ACHD in March 2014.
• Biltmore Estates, consisting of 159 single-family residential lots is located south and west of
the site and was approved by the ACHD in April 2014.
5. Transit: Transit services are not available to serve this site.
6. New Center Lane Miles: The proposed development includes 0.56 centerline miles of new
public road.
7. 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.
8. Capital Improvements Plan (CIP)/ Integrated Five Year Work Plan (IFYWP):
There are currently no roadways, bridges or intersections in the general vicinity of the project that
are currently in the Integrated Five Year Work Plan (IFYWP).
• Victory Road is listed in the CIP to be widened to 3-lanes from Linder Road to SH-69/Meridian
Road between 2026 and 2030.
• The intersection of Victory Road and Linder Road is listed in the CIP to be widened to 2-lanes
on the north leg, 2-lanes on the south, 2-lanes east, and 2-lanes on the west leg, and
reconstructed as a single-lane roundabout between 2021 and 2025.
B. Traffic Findings for Consideration

C. Findings for Consideration
1. Victory Road
a. Existing Conditions: Victory Road is improved with 2-travel lanes, 24-feet of pavement, and
no curb, gutter or sidewalk abutting the site. There is 50-feet of right-of-way for Victory Road
(23-feet from centerline).
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 Policy 7205.2.1 & 7205.5.2 states
that the standard 3-lane street section shall be 46-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb) within 70
feet of right-of-way. This width typically accommodates a single travel lane in each direction,
a continuous center left-turn lane, and bike lanes.
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 Victory Road is designated in the
MSM as a Residential Arterial with 3-lanes and on-street bike lanes, a 49-foot street section
within 74-feet of right-of-way.
3 Timberline Subdivision/ MPP17-0039/
H-2017-0140-PP
The intersection of Victory Road and Stoddard Road is designated in the MSM for a future
single-lane 3-legged roundabout.
c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to dedicate 37-feet of right-of-way from
centerline of Victory Road abutting the site; and approximately 3,700 square feet in the
northwest corner, which consists of approximately 64-feet along the west property line and
118-feet along the north property line from the northwest corner in a rectangular area (shown
below) to accommodate the future roundabout.
.a
F�.TURE
ROLNU-A-BOUT 5
i�L;r r 0; WAY O
OR, w 75'
BLOCK 2
The applicant is proposing to improve Victory Road with 17-feet of pavement from centerline
with 3-foot wide gravel shoulder, 10-foot wide borrow ditch, and 5-foot wide detached sidewalk
abutting the site.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District policy and
should be approved, as proposed. The applicant should coordinate with District staff on
sufficient right-of-way necessary to provide for the future single-lane 3-legged roundabout at
the Victory/Stoddard intersection.
The applicant should locate the front face of sidewalk a minimum of 31-feet from centerline of
Victory Road abutting the site; and provide a permanent right-of-way easement for any public
sidewalk located outside of the dedicated right-of-way.
2. Internal Streets
a. Existing Conditions: There is one stub street, Bear Claw Avenue constructed at the site's
south property line.
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.
4 Timberline Subdivision/ MPP17-0039/
H-2017-0140-PP
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.
Continuation of Streets Policy: District Policy 7207.2.4 states that an existing street, or a
street in an approved preliminary plat, which ends at a boundary of a proposed development
shall be extended in that development. The extension shall include provisions for continuation
of storm drainage facilities. Benefits of connectivity include but are not limited to the following:
• Reduces vehicle miles traveled.
• Increases pedestrian and bicycle connectivity.
• Increases access for emergency services.
• Reduces need for additional access points to the arterial street system
• Promotes the efficient delivery of services including trash, mail and deliveries.
• Promotes appropriate intra-neighborhood traffic circulation to schools, parks,
neighborhood commercial centers, transit stops, etc.
• Promotes orderly development.
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.
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.
Cul-de-sac Streets Policy: District policy 7207.5.8 requires cul-de-sacs to be constructed to
provide a minimum turning radius of 45-feet; in rural areas or for temporary cul-de-sacs the
emergency service providers may require a greater radius. Landscape and parking islands
may be constructed in turnarounds if a minimum 29-foot street section is constructed around
the island. The pavement width shall be sufficient to allow the turning around of a standard
AASHTO SU design vehicle without backing. The developer shall provide written approval
from the appropriate fire department for this design element.
The District will consider alternatives to the standard cul-de-sac turnaround on a case-by-case
basis. This will be based on turning area, drainage, maintenance considerations and the
written approval of the agency providing emergency fire service for the area where the
development is located.
Landscape Medians Policy: District policy 7207.5.16 states that landscape medians are
permissible where adequate pavement width is provided on each side of the median to
accommodate the travel lanes and where the following is provided:
5 Timberline Subdivision/ MPP17-0039/
H-2017-0140-PP
• The median is platted as right-of-way owned by ACHD.
• The width of an island near an intersection is 12-feet maximum for a minimum distance of
150-feet. Beyond the 150-feet, the island may increase to a maximum width of 30-feet.
• At an intersection that is signalized or is to be signalized in the future, the median width
shall be reduced to accommodate the necessary turn lane storage and tapers.
• The Developer or Homeowners Association shall apply for a license agreement if
landscaping is to be placed within these medians.
• The license agreement shall contain the District's requirements of the developer including,
but not limited to, a "hold harmless" clause; requirements for maintenance by the
developer; liability insurance requirements; and restrictions.
• Vertical curbs are required around the perimeter of any raised median. Gutters shall slope
away from the curb to prevent ponding.
c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct Winnipeg Avenue as a 36-foot
street section with rolled curb, gutter, and attached 5-foot wide sidewalk within 50-feet of right-
of-way.
The applicant is proposing to construct the entrance of Winnipeg Avenue with 2, 20-foot wide
travel lanes (back of curb to back of curb), an 11-foot wide median, vertical curb, gutter, and
attached 5-foot wide sidewalk within 65-feet of right-of-way.
The applicant is proposing to construct the remaining internal streets as 33-foot street
sections with rolled curb, gutter, and attached 5-foot wide sidewalk within 50-feet of right-of-
way.
The applicant is proposing to construct cul-de-sacs with 50-foot turning radius at the terminus
of Volunteer Place and Cumberland Drive; and construct a knuckle at the
Cumberland/Cumberland Drive intersection.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District policy and
should be approved, as proposed.
The applicant should reduce the right-of-way width for the 33-foot street sections to 47-feet of
right-of-way.
The applicant should provide written fire department approval for the reduced street sections
with submittal of plan review.
3. Roadway Offsets
a. Existing Conditions: There are no existing roadways internal to the site.
b. Policy:
Local Street Intersection Spacing on Minor Arterials: District policy 7205.4.3 states that
new local streets should not typically intersect arterials. Local streets should typically intersect
collectors. If it is necessary, as determined by ACHD, for a local street to intersect an arterial,
the minimum allowable offset shall be 660-feet as measured from all other existing roadways
as identified in Table 1 a (7205.4.6).
Local Offset Policy: District policy 7207.4.2, requires local roadways to align or provide a
minimum offset of 125-feet from any other street (measured centerline to centerline).
c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct a new local street, Winnipeg
Avenue, to intersect Victory Road approximately 790-feet east of Stoddard Road (measured
centerline-to-centerline) and 440-feet to the curvature in Victory Road.
6 Timberline Subdivision/ MPP17-0039/
H-2017-0140-PP
The applicant is proposing to construct all internal local streets to provide a minimum offset of
125-feet from any other street (measured centerline to centerline).
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: Due to the elevation change of Victory Road to the
west of the site, and the curves to the east of the site, an intersection sight distance study was
conducted by ACHD engineering staff. Staff found that the proposed location for the new
local street, Winnipeg Avenue,
to intersect Victory Road did not

intersection. This is a 28-percent modification to off-set policy and is approved at the
discretion of the Development Services Manager.
4. Stub Streets
a. Existing Conditions: There is one stub street, Bear Claw Avenue, constructed at the site's
south property line.
b. Policy:
Stub Street Policy: District policy 7207.2.4 (local) states that stub streets will be required to
provide circulation or to provide access to adjoining properties. Stub streets will conform with
the requirements described in Section 7207.2.5.4 (local), 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, stub streets must meet the following conditions:
• A stub street shall be designed to slope towards the nearest street intersection within
the proposed development and drain surface water towards that intersection; unless
an alternative storm drain system is approved by the District.
• The District may require appropriate covenants guaranteeing that the stub street will
remain free of obstructions.
Temporary Dead End Streets Policy: District policy 7207.2.4 (local) requires that the design
and construction for cul-de-sac streets shall apply to temporary dead end streets. The
temporary cul-de-sac shall be paved and shall be the dimensional requirements of a standard
7 Timberline Subdivision/ MPP17-0039/
H-2017-0140-PP
cul-de-sac. The developer shall grant a temporary turnaround easement to the District for
those portions of the cul-de-sac which extend beyond the dedicated street right-of-way. In the
instance where a temporary easement extends onto a buildable lot, the entire lot shall be
encumbered by the easement and identified on the plat as a non-buildable lot until the street
is extended.
c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to continue the stub street, Bear Claw
Avenue, located at the site's south property line into the site.
The applicant is proposing to construct 2 stub streets as follows:
• A local stub street, Cumberland Drive to the east, located approximately 275-feet
south of Victory Road, is less than 150-feet in length.
• A local stub street, Winnipeg Avenue to the east, located approximately 1,230-feet
south of Victory Road, is 250 feet in length.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal to construct a local stub
street, Cumberland Drive to the east, located approximately 275-feet south of Victory Road;
less than 150-feet in length, meets District policy and should be approved, as proposed.
The applicant's proposal to construct a stub street, Winnipeg Avenue to the east, located
approximately 250-feet south of Bear Claw Avenue, does not meet District policy because no
turnaround is proposed. The applicant should be required to construct either a permanent or
temporary turnaround with a minimum 45-foot turning radius at the terminus of Winnipeg
Avenue. If the turnaround is temporary, the applicant shall grant a temporary turnaround
easement to the District for the portion of the cul-de-sac which extends beyond the dedicated
street right-of-way. If the temporary easement extends onto a buildable lot, the entire lot shall
be encumbered by the easement and identified on the plat as a non-buildable lot until the
street is extended.
The applicant should install signage at the terminus of the 2 stub streets, Cumberland Drive
and Winnipeg Avenue, stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE".
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Other Access
Victory Road is classified as minor arterial roadway. Other than the access specifically approved
with this application, direct lot access is prohibited to this roadway and should be noted on the
final plat.

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

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
