3. Existing Roadway Improvements and Right-of-Way Adjacent To and Near the Site
· Overland Road is currently improved with 4 traffic lanes, a center turn lane, and vertical
curb gutter and an attached concrete sidewalk abutting the site. There is approximately
88-feet of right-of-way existing for Overland Road.
· Eagle Road is currently improved with 4 traffic lanes, a center turn lane, and vertical
curb, gutter, and sidewalk south of Overland Road.
4. Existing Access: There are three existing access points to the site. When the Highway
District constructed Overland Road, a curb return access was installed approximately in the
center of the site's frontage to provide for a future signalized intersection. With the
construction project, two curb-cut type driveways were installed for the existing farm access
points.

9. Capital Improvements Plan/Five Year Work Program
The Locust Grove Road overpass is scheduled in the District's Five Year Work Program with
construction to begin in 2006.
B. Findings for Consideration
1. Traffic Impact Study
A traffic impact study was required with this application. Below are the principal conclusions
of the submitted TIS prepared by Washington Group International.
. The proposed development is project to generate an external ADT of 6,574 vehicles of
which the PM peak hour traffic 819 per hour.
. As a result of the site build-out, traffic on the vicinity roadways is expected to increase.
Traffic on Eagle Road may increase by 2,301 vpd north and 460 vpd south of Overland
Road. Traffic on Overland Road may increase by 1,841 vpd east and 1,972 west of
Eagle Road.
. The intersection of Overland Road and Eagle Road is currently signalized and operates
at Level of Service (LOS) E with the existing traffic volumes. For both the 2011
Background and Build Out conditions, the intersection is forecast to operate at LOS F.
. The main site approach intersection with Overland Road as a two-way STOP controlled
intersection is predicted to operate at LOS F with a predicted delay of over 5 minutes for
the PM peak 2011 Build Out condition. The main site approach meets the MUTCD peak
hour signal warrant and was planned for signalization. As a signalized intersection it is
predicted to operate at LOS B with a delay of 14.1 seconds in the PM peak for the 2011
Build Out conditions. The site traffic is approximately 21-percent of the total Build Out
volumes.
. All other approaches on Overland Road are planned as right-in/right-out driveway
approaches.
. Based on the Build Out traffic forecasts for the roadway network, all roadways except
the section of Eagle Road north of Overland Road are under the COMPASS planning
thresholds.
. Internally, all of the subdivision's streets with front-on housing have projected ADT
volumes less than 1,000 vehicles per day.
Recommendations from the TIS:
. The main site approach should be signalized.
Staff Comment & Recommendation:
. The main entrance on Overland Road was planned for a future traffic signal during the
District's Overland Road widening project. The underground infrastructure and the
signal poles were installed with the project. The mast arms and signal heads will have to
be installed and will be the responsibility of the developer when the signal meets
warrants.
. The TIS states that turning lane requirements were not analyzed for the intersection of
the main site approach and Overland Road, and that the analysis would be done with
the signal design.
o The applicant has since analyzed the need for right turn lanes, and it has been
determined that they are not needed.

K9nai Subdivi~inn-MPpnR-n1 Q/M Ii. 7nR_n?1
(
· The TIS states that the other site approaches meet the warrant for a right turn bay and
taper for the eastbound traffic entering the site from Overland Road. Adding the
eastbound right-turn lane would require reconstruction of a part of the newly constructed
portion of Overland Road. The turning volumes are low enough that it is not desirable to
reconstruct portions of the new Overland Road.
· District Traffic Services staff requests that the applicant analyze the need for two right-
in/right-out driveways on Overland Road when there is a signalized intersection planned
for the site.
o The applicant has since submitted an analysis of the main site intersection level
of service without the two proposed right-in/right-out driveways. The main
signalized intersection at Overland Road is prOjected to operate at LOS B with an
average delay of 14.1 seconds with the two proposed RIIRO driveways. The
main signalized intersection at Overland Road is projected to operate at LOS C
with an average delay of 20.9 seconds without the two proposed RIIRO
driveways.
2. Overland Road
Right-of-Way Policy: District policy requires 96-feet of right-of-way on arterial roadways
(Figure 72-F1 B). This right-of-way allows for the construction of a 5-lane roadway with curb,
gutter, 5-foot concrete detached sidewalks and bike lanes.
Sidewalk Policy: District policy requires 7-foot wide attached (or 5-foot detached) concrete
sidewalk on all collector roadways and arterial roadways (7204.7.2).
Staff Comment/Recommendation: Overland Road is fully improved with vertical curb,
gutter, and attached concrete sidewalk. No additional right-of-way or improvements are
required with this application.
3. Main Entrance: Design and Signalization
Right-of-Way and Street Section Policy: District policy 72-F1 B requires collector
roadways to be constructed as a 46-foot street section with vertical curb, gutter and 5-foot
detached (or 7-foot attached) concrete sidewalk within 70-feet of right-of-way with parking
prohibited on both sides.
Island Policy: District policy 7202.7 and 7207.5 require islands to be constructed a
minimum of 4-feet wide with a minimum area of 1 OQ-square feet and designed to safely
channel traffic. The roadway on either side of the traffic island should maintain a minimum
of a 21-foot street section. District policy also requires any proposed landscape
islands/medians within the public right-of-way dedicated by this plat should be owned and
maintained by a homeowners association. Notes of this should be required on the final plat.
The design should be reviewed and approved by ACHD's Development staff.
Access Policy: District policy 72-F4 (1) requires driveways located on collector roadways
near a signalized intersection to be located a minimum of 175-feet from the signalized
intersection for a full-access driveway and a minimum of 8S-feet from the signalized
intersection for a right-in/right-out only driveway.
Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct the main entrance roadway as
a collector street from its intersection with Overland Road to its intersection with Goldstone
Street. The applicant is proposing center islands the entire length of the roadway with 21-
foot street sections on either side of the islands, vertical curb, 8-foot planter strips, and 5-
foot wide detached concrete sidewalks.

Kenai Subdivision-MPpnR-n1 A/MA7nR.n?1
(
Staff Comment/Recommendation: The applicant's proposal for the entrance street
section meets District policy and should be approved with this application. Parking will be
prohibited on the entrance collector road, per District policy. The applicant will be required
to install "No Parking" signs along the roadway.
The applicant will be required to hang the mast arms and the signal heads for the three
affected legs at the intersection of the site entrance and Overland Road when the
intersection meets signal warrants. The applicant will be required to provide an analysis of
the proposed phasing to determine when the signal will meet warrants. The 9Pplica'1t will be
required to install the required signal improvements at the beginning of the development
phase in which the signal warrants will be met. The applicant will also be required to install
the proper Opticom devices on the signal. The applicant may choose to either pay the
Highway District to install the mast arms and signal heads or install the hardware
themselves.
4. Driveways on Overland Road
Access Policy: District policy 7207.8 states that direct aCCess to arterials and collectors is
normally restricted. The developer shall try to use combined access points. If the developer
can show that the use of a combined access point to a collector or arterial street is
impractical, the District may consider direct access points.
Offset Policy: District policy 72-F4 (1) requires driveways located on arterial roadways near
a signalized intersection to be located a minimum of 440-feet from the signalized
intersection for a full-access driveway and a minimum of 220-feet from the signalized
intersection for a right-in/right-out only driveway.
Design Policy: District policy 7207.9.3 restricts commercial driveways with daily traffic
volumes over 1,000 vehicles to a maximum width of 36-feet. Curb return type driveways with
15-foot radii will be required for driveways accessing collector and arterial roadways.
Applicant Proposal: The applicant has proposed two right-in/right-out driveways on
Overland Road. The first is located approximately 300-feet west of the proposed signalized
intersection. The second is located approximately 280-feet east of the proposed signalized
intersection.
Staff Comment/Recommendation: While the proposed RI/RO driveways on Overland
Road meet one District offset policy, the applicant has not been able to sufficiently satisfy
the requirements of District Access policy 7207.8 which requires the use of combined
access points. District pOlicy 7207.8 states that if the use of combined access points is
shown to be impractical the District may consider direct access points. This site is approved
for a signalized intersection on Overland Road, and the applicant's traffic engineer has
determined that without the two proposed RIIRO driveways on Overland Road the signal will
operate at LOS C with an average delay of 20.9 seconds. This compares to an LOS B with
an average delay of 14.1 seconds with the construction of the two proposed RI/RO
driveways on Overland Road. In addition, this site has access to the west through
Millennium Subdivision and access to the east through the Eldorado Business Campus. In
summary, District staff believes that the site has adequate access and that applicant has not
demonstrated why the use of a combined access point (the signalized intersection) on
Overland Road is impractical. Therefore staff recommends that the two proposed RIIRO
driveways on Overland Road be prohibited.
Commission Action: At the hearing on May 17, 2006, the ACHD Commission approved
the staff report as written and did not grant the requested Ri/RO driveways on Overland
5
KAn"i ~II hrlivio;;inn-MPpnR_n1 Q/IUI A 7nlLn')oI
(
Road. The ACHD Commission determined that a difference of 6 seconds at the proposed
signalized access on Overland Road was not an impracticality that necessitated additional
driveways on Overland Road. The Commission stated that it was important to retain the
integrity and functionality of Overland Road particularly in a new developing area.
Request for Reconsideration:
On May 24, 2006, the applicant appeared before the Commission requesting reconsideration
of the decision made at the previous hearing. The Commission directed staff to meet with the
applicant to discuss a possible compromise. On June 2, 2006, the applicant meet with District
staff and a compromise was reached regarding access points to Overland Road. On June 14,
2006, the ACHD Commission approved the following compromise that was agreed upon by staff
and the applicant: the westerly driveway on Overland Road will be a right-in ONLY driveway and
the applicant will construct a deceleration starting at the west property line to the first driveway.
The signal poles would remain in their current location and configuration. The easterly driveway
on Overland Road will be constructed as a right-out ONLY driveway with no acceleration lane.
5. Internal Streets
Right-of-Way Polley: District policy 7204.4.1 and Figure 72-F1A requires 50-feet of right-
of-way on local streets. This right-of-way allows for the construction of a 2-lane roadway with
curb, gutter and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalks.
33-foot Street Section Policy: District policy 72-F1A, allows local residential public roads
with a 33-foot street section with parking on both sides of the roadway, if the amount of
vehicle trips per day on the street does not exceed 1,000 and the appropriate fire
department reviews and approves the street section.
Island Policy: District policy 7202.7 and 7207.5 require islands to be constructed a
minimum of 4-feet wide with a minimum area of 1 OO-square feet and designed to safely
channel traffic. The roadway on either side of the traffic island should maintain a minimum
of a 21-foot street section. District policy also requires any proposed landscape
islandslmedians within the public right-of-way dedicated by this plat should be owned and
maintained by a homeowners association. Notes of this should be required on the final plat.
The design should be reviewed and approved by ACHD's Development staff.
District policy 7202.2.6 states that the design of local street systems should discourage
excessive speeds by using curvilinear alignment andlor breaks in the street system.
Applicant Proposal (Internal streets): The applicant is proposing to construct the two stub
street extensions (Gala Street and Blue Horizon Drive) as local commercial streets with
center landscape islands. The applicant has proposed 21-foot street sections on each side
of the proposed islands.
The applicant is propOSing to construct the internal streets in the residential portion of the
development as 34-foot street sections with curb, gutter, and 5-foot attached concrete
sidewalks. The applicant is propOSing a traffic circle at the T-type intersection of the main
entrance road and Goldstone Street.
Staff Comment/Recommendation: The applicant's proposal for the street sections meets
District policy. The applicant will be required to receive approval from the Meridian Fire
Department for the reduced street sections. The applicant will need to coordinate the
design of the proposed traffic circle with District Traffic Services staff.
6
KAn=,i ~lIhrlivicdnn-MPpnR_n1 G/M A 7nA_n?1
6. Tree Planters
Tree Planter Policy: The District's Tree Planter Width Interim Policy prohibits all trees in
planters less than 6-feet in width. In addition to prohibiting trees in planters less than 6-feet
in width, the policy requires a minimum planter width of 6-feet for class II tress with the
installation of root barriers on both sides of the planter strip or a minimum planter width of 8-
feet without the installation of a root barrier. The policy also requires Class I and Class III
trees to provide a minimum planter width of 1 Q-feet.
7. Stub Streets
Stub Street Policy: District policy 7203.5.1 states that the street design in a proposed
development shall cause no undue hardship to adjoining property. An adequate and
convenient access to adjoining property for USe in future development may be required. If a
street ends at the development boundary, it shall meet the requirements of sub section
7205, "non-continuous streets." District policy 7205.5 states that stub streets will be
required to provide intra-neighborhood circulation or to provide access to adjoining
properties. Stub streets will conform with the requirements described in Section 7204.5,
7204.6 and 7204.7, 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."
Applicant Proposal: The applicant has proposed to extend two existing stub streets, one
from the east (Blue Horizon) and one from the west Gala Street).
Staff Comment/Recommendation: The applicant's proposals meet District policy and
should be approved with this application.
8. Roadway Offsets
Roadway Offset Policy: District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset
a minimum of 125-feet from another local roadway (measured centerline to centerline).
Applicant Proposal: All of the internal streets are proposed to meet or exceed District
offset policy.
Staff Comment/Recommendation: The applicant's proposal meets District pOlicy and
should be approved with this application.
9. Alleys
Alley Policy: District policy 7204.10.1 requires the minimum right-of-way width for new
alleys to be 16-feet if: the alley is abutted by residential uses and zoning on both sides; and
building setbacks required by the land use agency having jurisdiction provide sufficient
space for the safe backing of vehicles into the alley.
Access Policy: Access is allowed to and from a fully improved alley (District policy
7204.10.2). Parking shall be designed so the minimum clear distance from the back of the
parking stall to the opposite side of the alley is 22-feet for perpendicular parking. An access
to an alley shall be located a minimum of 25-feet from the nearest public street.
Intersection Policy: District Policy 7204.10.3 states a minimum of back-of-curb radius of
15-feet is required at all alley intersections.
Design Policy: District policy 7202.6 states that alleys shall connect to a public street at
each end and shall not terminate in dead-ends.

K An::ai ~llhrlivic::in"-MPDnA_n1 a/lUl ^ 7n'Ln.,..
(
Applicant Proposal: The applicant has proposed two 20-foot wide east-west alleys within
the development (one in Block 6 and one in Block 8). The alleys are designed to intersect
public streets at each end, and the alleys do not have curves. "
Staff Comment/Recommendation: The applicant's proposal meets District policy, and
should be approved with this application.
10. Other Access . .
Overland Road is classified as a principal 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.
1. Install the mast arms and the signal heads for the three affected legs at the intersection of
the site entrance and Overland Road when the intersection meets signal warrants. Install
the proper Opticom devices on the signal. The applicant's traffic engineer shall submit an
analysis of the proposed development phasing to determine when the signal meets
warrants. The applicant will be required to install the signal improvements at the beginning
of the development phase in which the signal is projected to meet warrants.

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 3:00 p.m. on the day 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 infonnation not presented at the earlier meeting, or a changed
situation that has developed since the taking of the earlier vote, or infonnation
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
retumed 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.
f. If a motion to reconsider passes, the applicant may be charged a reasonable fee, to
cover administrative costs, as established by the Commission.

B. Findinas for Consideration
1. Traffic Impact Study
A traffic impact study was required with this application. Below are the principal conclusions of the
submitted TIS prepared by Washington Group International.
· The proposed development is project to generate an external ADT of 6,574 vehicles of which
the PM peak hour traffic 819 per hour.
· As a result of the site build-out, traffic on the vicinity roadways is expected to increase. Traffic
on Eagle Road may increase by 2,301 vpd north and 460 vpd south of Overland Road. Traffic
on Overland Road may increase by 1,841 vpd east and 1,972 west of Eagle Road.
· The intersection of Overland Road and Eagle Road is currently signalized and operates at Level
of Service (LOS) E with the existing traffic volumes. For both the 2011 Background and Build
Out conditions, the intersection is forecast to operate at LOS F.
· The main site approach intersection with Overland Road as a two-way STOP controlled
intersection is predicted to operate at LOS F with a predicted delay of over 5 minutes for the PM
peak 2011 Build Out condition. The main site approach meets the MUTCD peak hour signal
warrant and was planned for signalization. As a signalized intersection it is predicted to operate
at LOS B with a delay of 14.1 seconds in the PM peak for the 2011 Build Out conditions. The
site traffic is approximately 21-percent of the total Build Out volumes.
· All other approaches on Overland Road are planned as right-in/right-out driveway approaches.
· Based on the Build Out traffic forecasts for the roadway network, all roadways except the
section of Eagle Road north of Overland Road are under the COMPASS planning thresholds.
· Internally, all of the subdivision1s streets with front-on housing have projected ADT volumes less
than 1,000 vehicles per day.
Recommendations from the TIS:
. The main site approach should be signalized.
Staff Comment & Recommendation:
· The main entrance on Overland Road was planned for a future traffic signal during the District's
Overland Road widening project. The underground infrastructure and the signal poles were
installed with the project. The mast arms and signal heads will have to be installed and will be
the responsibility of the developer when the signal meets warrants.
· The TIS states that turning lane requirements were not analyzed for the intersection of the main
site approach and Overland Road, and that the analysis would be done with the signal design.
o The applicant has since analyzed the need for right turn lanes, and it has been
determined that they are not needed.
· The TIS states that the other site approaches meet the warrant for a right turn bay and taper for
the eastbound traffic entering the site from Overland Road. Adding the eastbound right-turn
lane would require reconstruction of a part of the newly constructed portion of Overland Road.
The turning volumes are low enough that it is not desirable to reconstruct portions of the new
Overland Road.
· District Traffic Services staff requests that the applicant analyze the need for two right-in/right-
out driveways on Overland Road when there is a signalized intersection planned for the site.
o The applicant has since submitted an analysis of the main site intersection level of
service without the two proposed right-in/right-out driveways. The main signalized
intersection at Overland Road is projected to operate at LOS B with an average delay of
14.1 seconds with the two proposed RI/RO driveways. The main signalized intersection
3
Kenai Subdivision-MPP06-019/MAZOa-021
at Overland Road is projected to operate at LOS C with an average delay of 20.9
seconds without the two proposed RIIRO driveways.
2. Overland Road
Right-of-Way Policy: District policy requires 96-feet of right-of-way on arterial roadways (Figure
72-F1 B). This right-of-way allows for the construction of a 5-lane roadway with curb, gutter, 5-foot '
concrete detached sidewalks and bike lanes.
Sidewalk Policy: District policy requires 7-foot wide attached (or 5-foot detached) concrete
sidewalk on all collector roadways and arterial roadways (7204.7.2).
Staff Comment/Recommendation: Overland Road is fully improved with vertical curb, gutter, and
attached concrete sidewalk. No additional right-of-way or improvements are required with this
application.
3. Main Entrance: Design and Signalization
Right-of-Way and Street Section Policy: District policy 72-F1 B requires collector roadways to be
constructed as a 46-foot street section with vertical curb, gutter and 5-foot detached (or 7-foot
attached) concrete sidewalk within 70-feet of right-of-way with parking prohibited on both sides.
Island Policy: District policy 7202.7 and 7207.5 require islands to be constructed a minimum of 4-
feet wide with a minimum area of 1 OO-square feet and designed to safely channel traffic. The
roadway on either side of the traffic island should maintain a minimum of a 21-foot street section.
District policy also requires any proposed landscape islandslmedians within the public right-of-way
dedicated by this plat should be owned and maintained by a homeowners association. Notes of
this should be required on the final plat. The design should be reviewed and approved by ACHD's
Development staff. '
Access Policy: District policy 72-F4 (1) requires driveways located on collector roadways near a
signalized intersection to be located a minimum of 175-feet from the signalized intersection for a
full-access driveway and a minimum of 85-feet from the signalized intersection for a right-in/right-
out only driveway.
Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct the main entrance roadway as a
collector street from its intersection with Overland Road to its intersection with Goldstone Street.
The applicant is proposing center islands the entire length of the roadway with 21-foot street
sections on either side of the islands, vertical curb, 8-foot planter strips, and 5-foot wide detached
concrete sidewalks.
Staff Comment/Recommendation: The applicant's proposal for the entrance street section meets
District pOlicy and should be approved with this application. Parking will be prohibited on the
entrance collector road, per District policy. The applicant will be required to install "No Parking"
signs along the roadway.
The applicant will be required to hang the mast arms and the signal heads for the three affected
legs at the intersection of the site entrance and Overland Road when the intersection meets signal
warrants. The applicant will be required to provide an analysis of the proposed phasing to
determine when the signal will meet warrants. The applicant will be required to install the required
signal improvements at the beginning of the development phase in which the signal warrants will. be
met. The applicant will also be required to install the proper Opticom devices on the signal. The
applicant may choose to either pay the Highway District to install the mast arms and signal heads or
install the hardware themselves.
4
Kenai Subdivision-MPP06-019/MAZ06-021
4. Driveways on Overland Road
Access Policy: District policy 7207.8 states that direct access to arterials and collectors is
normally restricted. The developer shall try to use combined access points. If the developer can
show that the use of a combined access point to a collector or arterial street is impractical, the
District may consider direct access points.
Offset Policy: District policy 72-F4 (1) requires driveways located on arterial roadways near a
signalized intersection to be located a minimum of 440-feet from the signalized intersection for a
full-access driveway and a minimum of 220-feet from the signalized intersection for a right-iniright-
out only driveway.
Design Policy: District policy 7207.9.3 restricts commercial driveways with daily traffic volumes
over 1,000 vehicles to a maximum width of 36-feet. Curb return type driveways with 15-foot radii will
be required for driveways accessing collector and arterial roadways.
Applicant Proposal: The applicant has proposed two right-in/right-out driveways on Overland
Road. The first is located approximately 300-feet west of the proposed signalized intersection. The
second is located approximately 280-feet east of the proposed signalized intersection.
Staff Comment/Recommendation: While the proposed RIIRO driveways on Overland Road meet
one District offset policy, the applicant has not been able to sufficiently satisfy the requirements of
District Access policy 7207.8 which requires the use of combined access points. District policy
7207.8 states that if the use of combined access points is shown to be impractical the District may
consider direct access points. This site is approved for a signalized intersection on Overland Road,
and the applicant's traffic engineer has determined that without the two proposed RI/RO driveways
on Overland Road the signal will operate at LOS C with an average delay of 20.9 seconds. This
compares to an LOS B with an average delay of 14.1 seconds with the construction of the two
proposed RIIRO driveways on Overland Road. In addition, this site has access to the west through
Millennium Subdivision and access to the east through the Eldorado Business Campus. In
summary, District staff believes that the site has adequate access and that applicant has not
demonstrated why the use of a combined access point (the signalized intersection) on Overland
Road is impractical. Therefore staff recommends that the two proposed RIIRO driveways on
Overland Road be prohibited.
Commission Action: At the hearing on May 17, 2006, the ACHD Commission approved the staff
report as written and did grant the requested RIIRO driveways on Overland Road. The ACHD
Commission determined that a difference of 6 seconds at the proposed signalized access on
Overland Road was not an impracticality that necessitated additional driveways on Overland Road.
The Commission stated that it was important to retain the integrity and functionality of Overland
Road particularly in a new developing area.
5. Internal Streets
Right-of-Way Policy: District policy 7204.4.1 and Figure 72-F1A requires SO-feet of right-of-way
on local streets. This right-of-way allows for the construction of a 2-lane roadway with curb, gutter
and S-foot wide concrete sidewalks.
33-foot Street Section POlicy: District policy 72-F1A, allows local residential public roads with a
33-foot street section with parking on both sides of the roadway, if the amount of vehicle trips per
day on the street does not exceed 1,000 and the appropriate fire department reviews and approves
the street section.
5
Kenai Subdivision-MPP06-019/MAZ06-021
Island Policy: District policy 7202.7 and 7207.5 require islands to be constructed a minimum of 4-
feet wide with a minimum area of 1 OO-square feet and designed to safely channel traffic. The
roadway on either side of the traffic island should maintain a minimum of a 21-foot street section.
District policy also requires any proposed landscape islandslmedians within the public right-of-way
dedicated by this plat should be owned and maintained by a homeowners association. Notes of
this should be required on the final plat. The design should be reviewed and approved by ACHD's I
Development staff.
District policy 7202.2.6 states that the design of local street systems should discourage excessive
speeds by using curvilinear alignment andlor breaks in the street system.
Applicant Proposal (Internal streets): The applicant is proposing to construct the two stub street
extensions (Gala Street and Blue Horizon Drive) as local commercial streets with center landscape
islands. The applicant has proposed 21-foot street sections on each side of the proposed islands.
The applicant is proposing to construct the internal streets in the residential portion of the
development as 34-foot street sections with curb, gutter, and 5-foot attached concrete sidewalks.
The applicant is proposing a traffic circle at the T-type intersection of the main entrance road and
Goldstone Street.
Staff Comment/Recommendation: The applicant's proposal for the street sections meets District
policy. The applicant will be required to receive approval from the Meridian Fire Department for the
reduced street sections. The applicant will need to coordinate the design of the proposed traffic
circle with District Traffic Services staff.
6. Tree Planters
Tree Planter Policy: The District's Tree Planter Width Interim Policy prohibits all trees in planters
less than 6-feet in width. In addition to prohibiting trees in planters less than 6-feet in width, the
policy requires a minimum planter width of 6-feet for class II tress with the installation of root
barriers on both sides of the planter strip or a minimum planter width of 8-feet without the
installation of a root barrier. The policy also requires Class I and Class III trees to provide a
minimum planter width of 10-feet.
7. Stub Streets
Stub Street Policy: District policy 7203.5.1 states that the street design in a proposed development
shall cause no undue hardship to adjoining property. An adequate and convenient access to
adjoining property for use in future development may be required. If a street ends at the
development boundary, it shall meet the requirements of sub section 7205, "non-continuous
streets." District policy 7205.5 states that stub streets will be required to provide intra-neighborhood
circulation or to provide access to adjoining properties. Stub streets will conform with the
requirements described in Section 7204.5, 7204.6 and 7204.7, 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."
Applicant Proposal: The applicant has proposed to extend two existing stub streets, one from the
east (Blue Horizon) and one from the west Gala Street).
Staff Comment/Recommendation: The applicant's proposals meet District policy and should be
approved with this application.
8. Roadway Offsets
Roadway Offset Policy: District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a
minimum of 125-feet from another local roadway (measured centerline to centerline).
6 Kenai Subdivision-MPPOa-019/MAZOa-021
Applicant Proposal: All of the internal streets are proposed to meet or exceed District offset
policy.
Staff Comment/Recommendation: The applicant's proposal meets District policy and should be
approved with this application.
9. Alleys _
Alley Policy: District policy 7204.10.1 requires the minimum right-of-way width for new alleys to be
16-feet if: the alley is abutted by residential uses and zoning on both sides; and building setbacks
required by the land use agency having jurisdiction provide sufficient space for the safe backing of
vehicles into the alley.
Access Policy: Access is allowed to and from a fully improved alley (District policy 7204.10.2).
Parking shall be designed so the minimum clear distance from the back of the parking stall to the
opposite side of the alley is 22-feet for perpendicular parking. An access to an alley shall be located
a minimum of 25-feet from the nearest public street.
Intersection Policy: District POlicy 7204.10.3 states a minimum of back-of-curb radius of 15-feet is
required at all alley intersections.
Design Policy: District policy 7202.6 states that alleys shall connect to a public street at each end
and shall not terminate in dead-ends.
Applicant Proposal: The applicant has proposed two 20-foot wide east-west alleys within the
development (one in Block 6 and one in Block 8). The alleys are designed to intersect public
streets at each end, and the alleys do not have curves.
Staff Comment/Recommendation: The applicant's proposal meets District policy, and should be
approved with this application.
10. Other Access
Overland Road is classified as a principal 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.
C. Site Specific Conditions of ARJ]roval
1. Install the mast arms and the signal heads for the three affected legs at the intersection of the site
entrance and Overland Road when the intersection meets signal warrants. Install the proper
Opticom devices on the signal. The applicant's traffic engineer shall submit an analysis of the
proposed development phasing to determine when the signal meets warrants. The applicant will be
required to install the signal improvements at the beginning of the development phase in which the
signal is projected to meet warrants.
2. Close the two existing curb cut driveways on Overland Road with matching vertical curb, gutter, and
attached sidewalk.
3. Construct the main entrance road as a collector street with vertical curb, gutter, a-foot planter strips,
and 5-foot detached concrete sidewalks within 72-feet of right-of-way, as proposed. Provide 21-foot

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 3:00 p.m. on the day 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.
f. If a motion to reconsider passes, the applicant may be charged a reasonable fee, to cover
administrative costs, as established by the Commission.
