foot church. The 4.25-acre site is located on the east side of Locust Grove Road approximately
475-feet south of Franklin Road. This development is estimated to generate 210 additional
vehicle trips per day (10 existing) based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip
Generation Manual.
B. The application and site plan stamped and received by the City of Meridian on October 13,2001,
and submitted to the District on October 18,2001, has been reviewed by the ACHD Planning
and Development staff and conforms to applicable District standards/policy, or can be made to
conform with the change(s) to the plan described in the requirements stated below.
C. This is a staff level approval and will not be heard by the ACHD Commission unless the site plan

Ordinance #193. The right-of-way purchase agreement must be completed and signed by the
applicant prior to issuance of a building permit (or other required permits), whichever occurs
first.
2. Applicant is proposing two entrances into this site. Proposed driveway # 1 is located
