A. Findinqs of Fact
1. Description of Application: The applicant is requesting approval of a rezone from RUT (Rural-
Urban Transition) to R-8 (Medium Density Residential), a private road, and a preliminary plat to
allow for the development of 21 single-family lots and 7 common lots on 7.69 acres.
The City of Meridian's Future Land Use Map designates this area as Medium Density Residential.
2. Description of Adjacent Surrounding Area:

3. Site History: ACHD Staff/Commission previously reviewed this site as Compass Pointe
Subdivision / MPP20-0027 in November 2020. The requirements of this staff report are consistent
with those of the prior action.
4. Adjacent Development: The following developments are pending or underway in the vicinity of
the site:
• Cache Creek Subdivision, a 13.99-AC subdivision with 41 residential lots and 4 common lots,
located directly north of the site, which was approved by ACHD staff on November 12, 2020.
5. Transit: Transit services are not available to serve this site.

MPP23-0008 / H-2023-0004
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 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):
• Victory Road is scheduled in the IFYWP to be widened to 3-lanes from Meridian Road to
Locust Grove Road; design is scheduled for 2025 with no construction year available.
• Victory Road is scheduled in the IFYWP to be widened to 3-lanes from Locust Grove Road to
Eagle Road; design is scheduled for 2025 with no construction year available.
• Locust Grove Road is listed in the IFYWP to be widened to 3-lanes from Victory Road to Amity
Road; design is scheduled for 2026 with no construction year available.
• The intersection of Victory Road and Locust Grove road is to be widened as a multilane
roundabout and is currently under construction.
• Bridge#2116 over Ten Mile Creek on Victory Road is scheduled in the IFYWP to be replaced/
widened in 2023.
• Bridge #1207 over Ten Mile Creek on Locust Grove Road is scheduled in the IFYWP to be
designed in 2023 and replaced/widened in 2026.
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 Victory Road and Locust Grove Road as Level 3 facilities that will be constructed
as part future ACHD projects.

B. Traffic Findings for Consideration
1. Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate 198 additional vehicle trips per day;
20 additional vehicle trips per hour in the PM peak hour, based on the Institute of Transportation
Engineers Trip Generation Manual, 111" edition.
2. Condition of Area Roadways
Traffic Count is based on Vehicles per hour(VPH)
Roadway Frontage Functional PM Peak Hour PM Peak Hour
Classification Traffic Count Level of Service
Victory Road 615-feet Minor Arterial 459 Better than "D"
Locust Grove Road 1,070-feet Minor Arterial 678 "F"
*Acceptable level of service for a two-lane minor arterial is "E" (575 VPH).
3. Average Daily Traffic Count (VDT)
Average daily traffic counts are based on ACHD's most current traffic counts.
• The average daily traffic count for Victory Road east of Meridian Road/SH-69 was 10,967 on
October 7, 2021.
• The average daily traffic count for Locust Grove Road south of Victory Road was 12,216 on
June 30, 2021.
C. Findings for Consideration
1. South Meridian Transportation Plan
The South Meridian Transportation Plan (SMTP) is a long-range planning tool used to identify future
roadway, intersection, and corridor needs in the South Meridian Area. Providing a framework for
future roadway improvements based on the land use designations. The plan was created in
collaboration with the City of Meridian and was adopted by the ACHD Commission in September
of 2009.
The SMTP recommends that both Victory Road and Locust Grove Road be constructed as 3-lane
residential arterials abutting the site.
2. Planning Level of Service Thresholds
a. Alternative Mitigation Measures: 7106.7.3 states that if traditional mitigation measures such
as roadway widening and intersection improvements are infeasible as determined by ACHD,
the TIS may recommend alternative mitigation measures. Alternative mitigation measures shall
demonstrate that impacts from the project will be offset.
• If the impacted roadway segments and/or intersections are programmed as funded in the
Integrated Five-Year Work Plan (IFYWP) or the Capital Improvements Plan (CIP); no
alternative mitigation is required.
• If the impacted roadway segments and/or intersections are not programmed in either the
IFYWP or the CIP; the applicant may (i) analyze the shoulder hour and (ii) provide a safety
analysis to determine alternative mitigation requirements.
o If the impacted roadway segments and intersections meet the minimum acceptable
level of service planning thresholds in the shoulder hour the applicant may suggest
feasible alternative mitigation such as: sidewalks, bike facilities, connectivity, safety
improvements, etc. within 1.5 miles of the proposed development.
3 Compass Pointe Subdivision /
MPP23-0008 / H-2023-0004
o If the shoulder hour planning thresholds are exceeded the applicant may request to
enter into a Development Agreement and pay into the Priority Corridor Fund an
amount determined by the ACHD to offset impacts from the project.
• Alternative Mitigation may also include:
o Revision to the Phasing Plan to coincide with the District's future Capital Projects.
o Reducing the scope and/or scale of the project.
Level of Service Planning Thresholds: District Policy 7206.4.1 states that, Level of Service
Planning Thresholds have been established for principal arterials and minor arterials within
ACHD's Capital Improvement Plan and are also listed in section 7106. Unless otherwise
required to provide a Traffic Impact Study under section 7106, a proposed development with
site traffic less than 10% of the existing downstream roadway or intersection peak hour traffic
shall not be required to provide mitigation for a roadway or intersection that currently exceeds
the minimum acceptable level of service planning threshold or V/C ratio.
b. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The roadway segment of Locust Grove Road south of
Victory Road currently exceeds ACHD's Acceptable Level of Service Thresholds for a 2-lane
minor arterial roadway. However, the following roadway segments and intersections are listed
as projects in either ACHD's IFYWP or CIP:
• Locust Grove Road between Victory Road and Amity Road — IFYWP
• Victory Road between Meridian Road and Locust Grove Road — IFYWP
• Locust Grove Road /Victory Road intersection —currently under construction
Therefore, consistent with District policy 7106.7.3 Alternative Mitigation Measures,which states,
if an impacted roadway segment or intersection are programmed as funded in the IFYWP, or
the CIP; no mitigation is required; no improvements are required at the intersections and
roadway segments listed above.
3. Locust Grove Road/Victory Road Intersection
a. Policy:
ACHD Master Street Map: ACHD Policy Section 3111.1 requires the Master Street Map
(MSM) guide the right-of-way acquisition, arterial street requirements, roundabout requirement,
and specific roadway features required through development. A new roundabout was identified
on the MSM. A dual-lane roundabout is planned at the Locust Grove Road/Victory Road
intersection.
b. Staff Comments/Recommendations: This intersection is currently under construction
consistent with the CIP and IFYWP, therefore no right-of-way dedication is required.
4. Locust Grove Road
a. Existing Conditions: Locust Grove Road is improved with 2-travel lanes (3 lanes at the Victory
Road intersection) and no curb, gutter or sidewalk abutting the site. There is 50 to 145-feet of
right-of-way for Locust Grove Road (25 to 68-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.
4 Compass Pointe Subdivision /
MPP23-0008 / H-2023-0004
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 Locust Grove Road is designated in
the MSM as a Residential Arterial with 3-lanes and on-street bike lanes, a 46-foot street section
within 74-feet of right-of-way.
c. Applicant Proposal: South of the area of influence of the roundabout currently under
construction, the applicant is proposing to construct 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk on
Locust Grove Road and to dedicate 25-feet of right-of-way from centerline for the roadway
frontage south of the roundabout.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: As part of ACHD's intersection project, curb, gutter, and
a 10-foot wide concrete multi-use pathway will be constructed on Locust Grove Road within the
influence area of the intersection. Therefore, no improvements or right-of-way dedication are
required within this area and a road trust deposit is not required since this project is already
under construction.
The applicant's proposal to construct a 5-foot wide detached sidewalk on Locust Grove Road
outside the influence area of the intersection meets ACHD policy; however, the City of Meridian
has indicated a desire for the 10-foot wide multi-use pathway to continue along the site frontage.
ACHD is supportive of this, as Locust Grove Road south of the site is being improved with the
construction of 10-foot wide concrete pathways. If required by the City of Meridian, then the
5 Compass Pointe Subdivision /
MPP23-0008 / H-2023-0004
applicant should be required to construct a 10-foot wide multi-use pathway on Locust Grove
Road abutting the site consistent with the improvements constructed as part of ACHD's
intersection project.
The applicant should be required to dedicate additional right-of-way to total 39-feet from
centerline of Locust Grove Road abutting the site. Compensation for the right-of-way dedication
will be provided since this segment of Locust Grove Road is scheduled for improvements in the
IFYWP.
5. Victory Road
a. Existing Conditions: Victory Road is improved with 2 travel lanes (3 lanes at the Locust Grove
Road intersection) and no curb, gutter, or sidewalk abutting the site. There is 72 to 93-feet of
right-of-way for Victory Road (35 to 42-feet from centerline).

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.

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 Locust Grove Road is designated in
the MSM as a Residential Arterial with 3-lanes and on-street bike lanes, a 46-foot street section
within 74-feet of right-of-way.
c. Applicant Proposal: West of the area of influence of the roundabout currently under
construction, the applicant is proposing to dedicate approximately 37-feet of right-of-way from
centerline of Victory Road abutting the site.
The applicant is proposing to construct a 20-foot wide gated emergency access only driveway
onto Victory Road located approximately 262-feet east of the west property line.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: As part of ACHD's intersection project, curb, gutter, and
a 10-foot wide concrete multi-use pathway will be constructed on Victory Road within the
influence area of the intersection. Therefore, no improvements or right-of-way dedication are
required within this area and a road trust deposit is not required since this project is already
under construction. .
The applicant should be required to dedicate additional right-of-way to total 39-feet from
centerline of Victory Road abutting the site outside the influence area of the intersection.
Compensation for the right-of-way dedication will be provided since this segment of Victory
Road is scheduled for improvements in the IFYWP.
The applicant's proposal to construct a 20-foot wide gated emergency access only onto Victory
Road is approved, as proposed. The driveway should be restricted with either a gate or bollards
located outside of the right-of-way, as determined by the Meridian Fire Department.
6. Private Roads
a. Existing Conditions: There is an existing 12-foot wide unimproved driveway from the site onto
Locust Grove Road located 223-feet south of Victory Road (measured centerline-to-centerline).
b. Policy:
Private Road Policy: District policy 7212.1 states that the lead land use agencies in Ada
County establish the requirements for private streets. The District retains authority and will
review the proposed intersection of a private and public street for compliance with District
intersection policies and standards. The private road should have the following requirements:
• Designed to discourage through traffic between two public streets,
• Graded to drain away from the public street intersection, and
• If a private road is gated, the gate or keypad (if applicable) shall be located a minimum of
50-feet from the near edge of the intersection and a turnaround shall be provided.
Driveway Location Policy: District policy 7205.4.5 requires driveways located on minor
arterial roadways from a signalized intersection with a single left turn lane shall be located a
minimum of 330-feet from the nearest intersection for a right-in/right-out only driveway and a
minimum of 660-feet from the intersection for a full-movement driveway.
District policy 7205.4.5 requires driveways located on minor arterial roadways from a signalized
intersection with a dual left turn lane shall be located a minimum of 330-feet from the nearest
intersection for a right-in/right-out only driveway and a minimum of 710-feet from the intersection
for a full-movement driveway.
7 Compass Pointe Subdivision /
MPP23-0008 / H-2023-0004
Successive Driveways: District policy 7205.4.6 Table 1 a, requires driveways located on minor
arterial roadways with a speed limit of 50 MPH to align or offset a minimum of 425-feet from
any existing or proposed driveway.
Driveway Width Policy: District policy 7205.4.8 restricts high-volume driveways (100 VTD or
more) to a maximum width of 36-feet and low-volume driveways (less than 100 VTD) to a
maximum width of 30-feet. Curb return type driveways with 30-foot radii will be required for high-
volume driveways with 100 VTD or more. Curb return type driveways with 15-foot radii will be
required for low-volume driveways with less than 100 VTD.
Driveway Paving Policy: Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance
problems due to gravel being tracked onto the roadway. In accordance with District policy,
7205.4.8, 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 and install pavement tapers in
accordance with Table 2 under District Policy 7205.4.8.
Cross Access Easements/Shared Access Policy: District Policy 7202.4.1 states that cross
access utilizes a single vehicular connection that serves two or more adjoining lots or parcels
so that the driver does not need to re-enter the public street system.
c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to close the existing driveway from the site
onto Locust Grove Road with landscaping.
The applicant is proposing to construct a 24-foot wide private road from the site onto Locust
Grove Road located 770-feet south of Victory Road and in alignment with Coastline Street on
the east side of Locust Grove Road across from the site.
The applicant is proposing to construct a gated entry on the private road access located 80-feet
beyond the proposed crosswalk.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The location of the proposed private road meets District
policy and should be approved, as proposed. If the City of Meridian approves the private road,
the applicant shall be required to pave the private roadway a minimum of 20 to 24-feet wide and
at least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of all public streets and install
pavement tapers with 15-foot curb radii abutting the existing roadway edge. If private roads are
not approved by the City of Meridian, the applicant will be required to revise and resubmit the
preliminary plat to provide public standard local streets in these locations.
Street name and stop signs are required for the private road. The signs may be ordered through
the District. Verification of the correct, approved name of the road is required.
ACHD does not make any assurances that the private road, which is a part of this application,
will be accepted as a public road if such a request is made in the future. Substantial redesign
and reconstruction costs may be necessary in order to qualify this road for public ownership
and maintenance.
The following requirements must be met if the applicant wishes to dedicate the roadway to
ACHD:
• Dedicate a minimum of 50-feet of right-of-way for the road.
• Construct the roadway to the minimum ACHD requirements.
