proposed use and development upon services delivered by political subdivisions
providing services to the subject real property within the planning jurisdiction of the
City of Meridian:
Adopt the Recommendations of the Planning and Zoning staff and Engineering
staff as follows:
12.1
This Conditional Use Permit is for the overall concept and mixture of
uses. Significant changes to the plan as proposed shall require
modification of the CUP. Slight modifications that comply with the
overall development plan approval shall not require future public
hearings.
12.2
Planned Development Regulations: As a mixed/planned use
development, the Silverstone Corporate Center shall comply with the
following sections of the subdivision ordinance: 12-6-4 Procedures for
Planned Developments, 12-6-6 General Regulations for Planned
Development, and 12-6-7 General Standards for Planned
Developments. All commercial and office uses shall comply with 12-6-
8-B, Design Standards for Planned Development-Commercial. The
City Council further requires that a conditional use permit be
required if the applicant proposes a bar.
12.3
Site Plan: The copy of the single-story building master plan submitted
with the application does not appear to be to an accurate scale.
Detailed review of the site plan is not possible; only the concept is being
reviewed. Detailed site plans that meet all parldng lot dimensional and
landscaping standards per City Ordinance shall need to be reviewed and
approved during the building permit process.
12.4
Open Space: All Planned Developments (PD) are required to have at
least 10% of the gross land area of the PD as common open space per
City Ordinance Section 12-6-7-E-5. The total common open space
calculation for Silverstone Corporate Center is not shown. Applicant
shall provide calculations showing how this minimum criteria is met.
The City's well lot shall not be considered for inclusion in this
requirement if reimbursement is sought for the value of the property.

Parldng Lot Landscaping: Landscape islands serving a single row of
parldng shall have one tree. Islands serving a double row of parldng
shall have two trees. A planting island shall be provided to break up the
asphalt every 12 continuous stalls. The site plan submitted does not
meet this requirement. The detailed landscape plan for the Silverstone
Point building is at a scale and meets or exceeds all landscaping
requirements. All site plans shall be reviewed at the building permit
stage to ensure compliance with the Meridian Landscape Ordinance.
Review of the overall site plan is general only, and specific review shall
occur upon application for building permits.
12.6 Streets and Circulation: The proposed project is designed as a stand-
alone development with no provision for access to other properties.
12.7
Signage: Although signage locations are noted on the plan, no details of
proposed signage were included. Applicant shall be responsible for
proposing a sign program for the entire development as part of the
conditional use process.

Trash Enclosures: Very few trash enclosures are shown on the
Conceptual Site Plan. Applicant shall coordinate locations and
construction requirements of the required trash enclosures with
Meridian Sanitary Service, Inc., and provide a letter of approval from
their office when applying for a Certificate of Zoning Compliance.
12.9
Alternative Transportation Options: At build-out, this site shall serve as
a principal center of employment for the east Meridian/west Boise area.
While Boise Urban Stages does not currently service Overland Road, it
has the potential to be a likely destination point for mass transit in the
future. The City Council strongly requires an area be designated and/or
preserved on the Concept Plan for a future bus stop. Also required is the
inclusion of bicycle racks at all office and retail buildings.
12.10 All conditions placed on this application shall run with the land and
shall not lapse or be waived as the result of any change in tenancy or
ownership of any or all of the lands governed by this CUP application.

to the subsurface to prevent impact to groundwater and surface water
quality, or if other means of pretreatment of storm water discharge is
provided, then Applicant shall furnish to the Public Works Department
a copy of the proposed Operation and Maintenance Manual, including a
schedule of regular maintenance for the drains. A commitment shall be
required that in the event the drains do not effectively work, either

Interstate 84 is three lanes eastbound and three lanes westbound. There is an "ON" and "OFF"

The Overland/Eagle Road and Meridian/Overland Road intersections operate at a Level of
Service F (LOS F), and are listed as one of the 100 most critical intersections in Ada
Cotm~. Access control within the operating area of the intersection is vital to the safe
operations of the intersection. The subjec~ site's additional traffic will exacerbate the troffic
problems at these intersections.
On March 2, 2001, the staffmet as the Dislricfs Technical Review Committee and reviewed the
irapac~s of this proposed development on the DisPels transportation system. The results of that
analysis constitute the following Facts and Findings and recommended Site Specific
Requirements.
A traffic study was submitted for the SilverStone Corporate Center in Meridian. Idaho. The key
· findings of the traffic study include the following.
· The proposed development is projected to generate an average daily traffic (ADT)of9,629
vehicles per day (vpd), of which the peak hour traffic (PHT) is 1,021 vehicles per hour (vph).
· At build out, the project will add 6,3 t7 vehicles per day to Eagle Road north o/the site. o/these
mps 847 will take the westbound/-84 ramp, 2,504 will travel eastbound on 1-84, and the
remaining 2,966 will continue to the north. An additional i, 100 vehicles per day will travel
south of the site on Eagle Road. The project will add 1,380 vehicles per day to Overland Road
east of the site and 850 vehicles per day west of the site.
· The intersection of Eagle Road and Overland Road is currently operating at Level of Service
(LOS) F. It will operate at LOS F under background ~raffic c~nditions with or without the site
being developed. 'I~s development should be required to participate, in improvements to this
intersection to bring it to an acceptable level of service.
· The intersections of Eagle Road and the eastbound ~nd westbound off-ramps of 1-84 will
function at an acceptable level of service with the addition of site traffic. This assumes that the
proposed signa/on the eastbound off-ramp is cons~-ucted by ITD.
· The intersection of Eagle Road and Franklin Road will operate at LOS F with or without the
project. Improvements to this intersection will require additional right-of-way and coordination
with other projects. Since the majority of the lraffic will be coming from other growth in the
·rea, widening of this intersection should be considered by the ACHD and ITD.
· The intersection of Overland Road and Meridian Road will operate at LOS F under background
traffic conditions and LOS F with the addition of site ~affic. Additional lanes are required to
make this intersection operate at an acceptable LOS D. This intersection is within the limits of a
proposed project by ACHD. The site traffic should be included in the planning of the ACHD
improvements project.
· The intersection of Overland Road and Cloverdale Road will require improvements to operate at
LOS E. This ~rea will probably see development in the coming years. It is recommended that
the project will con~bute to the future reconseuction of this intersection.
$ilver~tone.cmm
Page 3
· The intersection of Overland Road and Five Mile Road will suffer a small increase in delay due
to project traffic. Other grovah will contribute to most of the deterioration of lbo intersection.
The project should not be required to participate in the reconstruction of this intersection.
· The intersection of Eagle Road and Victory, Road will operate at an acceptable level of service,
LOS E, after the build out of this project. '
· Eagle Road south if the project will operate at an acceptable level of service after build out of
the project. The site should contr/bute right-of-way for future roadway expansion. Since Eagle
Road is on a section line, it is assumed that the future roadwav will be a five-lane road.
· Eagle Road north of the site will operate at an acceptable level of service after build out of the
project.
· Overland Road west of Eagle Road will operate at an acceptable level of service for a threeqane
road. A three-lane road is proposed to be built by ACHD on tiffs section of roadway.
· Overland Road east of Eagle Road will operate at a poor level of service after build'out of the
project. The project should be required to dedicate right-of-way for a five-lane future roadway.
In the interim, the project should be required to construct a r/gh[-tum lane and a le~-tum lane for
the full frontage of the project along Overland Road.
· The project should be required to construct a signal at the main enhance to the site on Eagle
Road and to the main entrance to the site on Overland Road. Each signal will require a left-turn
lane and a right-turn lane.
The applicant is proposing to construct two driveways on Overland Road and one public street
connection. The proposed accesses are located:
· 400-feet east of Eagle Road (western driveway)
· 690-feet east of Eagle Road and 26S-feet east of western driveway (middle driveway)
· 1,070-feet east of Eagle Road (public s~'eet)
District policy 7204.7.3 states that access points on arterials are based on the following:
':' One access point for less than 150-feet of frontage
',*' Two access points for 150-600-feet of frontage
':' Three access points for ~eater than 600-feet of frontage.
Access points are considered to be both public streets and driveways.
The applicant is proposing to construct three access points on Overland Road in accordance with
District policy. The ACHD Commission approved these three access points on Overland Road.
The applicant is proposing to construct five driveways on Eagle Read and one public street
connection. The proposed accesses are located:
· 400-feet south of Overland Road (northern driveway)
· 690-feet south of Overland Road and 265-feet south of northern driveway (northern middle
driveway)
· 420-feet south of northern middle driveway (middle driveway)
· 1,590-feet south of Overland Road (public strut)
· 410-feet south of public street (southern driveway)
· At the south property line (shared southern driveway)
Dis~a-ict policy 7204.7.3 states that access points on arterials are based on the following:
· :' One access point for less than 150-feet of frontage
S ilver~tone, cram
· :' Two access points for 150-600-feet offiontage
· :- Three access points for greater than 600-feet of fiontage.
Access points are considered to be both public streets and driveways.
The applicant is proposing to construct six access points on Eagle Road. District policy allows
three access points. Six access points would require a variance ~om the Commission. Staff
recommends adherence of policy because the applicant is constructing a public strut through the
site and should have sufficient access internally and with three access points (two driveways and
one public street) on Eagle Road. The proposed driveways are located on shared property, lines
and staffrecommends that the applicant construct:, a driveway at the south property, line to
provide for future shared access with the parcel to the south; the spine road connection, and a
second driveway located north of the spine road, but located a minirnum of 440-feet south of
Overland Road.
The applicant does not concur with staff's recommendation on the number of access points on
Eagle Road, and will provide information to the Commission requesting a modification of policy.
The ACHD Commission approved three access points on Eagle Road with this application. One
access point shall be located at the south property line, and shall be constructed as a shared
driveway. The second access point shall be the proposed public road, located as proposed.-The
third access point shall be located a minimum of 440-feet south of Overland Road, and a
minimum 440-f'eet north of the proposed public street that will be signalized in the future.
The applicant is proposing to construct a spine road through the site with connections at Overland
Road and Eagle Road. Due to the volumes of traffic this development is expected to generate, the
applicant should construct this roadway as a 46-foot street section with curbs, ~matters and
sidewalks. If the applicant constructs attached sidewalks, the sidewalk should be constructed 7-
feet wide, and the street should be constracted within 64-feet of right-of-way. If the applicant
consa'ucts detached sidewalks, the sidewalk should be consmacted 5-feet wide, and the s~reet
should be consmacted witkin 70-feet of right-of-way. Park/ng should be reslricted on the
proposed street, and the applicant should submit a signage plan prior t9 final plat approval.
The applicant's site plan indicates a ~'affic signal on Overland Road at ~e intersection with the
proposed public street, located approximately ¼-mile east of Eagle Road, and one on Eagle Road
located approximately 1/3-mile south of Overland Road. It is not clear fiom the applicant's
proposal if the intent is for the t~affic si_totals to be constructed with the project, or if they are
shown on the plan as "future". According to the submitted traffic study, at full build-out, the
project should be required to construct the signals, and the necessary site improvements associated
with the si.maals: lefMum lanes and ri~t-tum lanes.
Based on ACHD Commission action, traffic signals cannot be installed at these intersections until
there is a warrant. Tho applicant's traffic engineer should work with ACHD Traffic Services staff
to determine when the warrant is met, or is close to being met. The developer should be
financially responsible for the cost of one-half of the signal. If the properties across fiom tiffs
subdivision have not been developed prior to the signal warrant the applicant oftkis site shall
fund 100% of the cost of the signals. Atthe time that those properties develop, a road mst will
be acquired and this applicant shall be reimbursed for one half of the cost of the signal. This
applicant should enter into a written agreement with the District for these two tra~c signals.
Silverstone.emro
The applicant should be required to conslruct center turn lanes on Overland Road and Eagle Road
for the proposed public street intersections and for full access driveways. The roadways are
currently only 2-lanes in width, md the submitted traffic study determined that these lanes should
be required.
The applicant is proposing to construct islands at the main entrances to the proposed spine roads.
The islands may interfere with turning movements at the signals. The applicant should coordinate
the intersection designs with District Traffic Services staff.
Driveways on the proposed spine road should be located a minimum distance of 175-feet from
Eagle Road and Overland Road, and ~hould ali~n or offset a minimum of 125-feet from any
proposed driveways. The site plan shows driveways on the proposed street located within 25-feet
of other proposed driveways, and some of the driveways are constructed with medians: such a
com~guration is confusing to the motorist. The applicant should revise the site plan and relocate
driveways in accordance with district policy.
The applicant is proposing to consauct a large island in the middle of the spine road, with
driveways on both sides. The driveways are located so that motorists could make unsafe left tums
from the driveways. The applicant should either: construct the island as a true roundabout,
eliminate the driveways; or eliminate the island.
The applicant is proposing to construct a local street offofthe spine road. The location of the
street conforms to ACHD policy. The strut should be constructed as a local/commercial street:
40-foot street section with curbs, gutters and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalks within 58-feet of
rig. ht-of-way.
At the meeting on March 14, 2001, the applicant submitted a drawing indicating that this street
would be stubbed to the undeveloped 80-acre property to the east Based on the applicant's
testimony, and the need for interconnectNi ,ty the ACHD Commission required th_is stub street as a
condition of approval.
The stub street should be conslructed to the east property line between'Lot 5 and Lot 6, Block 1.
The applicant should provide a paved temporary turnaround at the east end of the stub with a
temporary, easement provided to the District. The applicant should be required to install a sign at
the terminus of the roadway stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE
FLrI'URE'. Coordinate the sign plan for lhe stub street, and the design of the turnaround with
District staff.
Utility. Peet cuts in pavement less than five years old are not allowed unless approved in xwiting
by the District. Contact Construction Services at 387-6280 (with file numbers) for details.
Irrigation facilities should be relocated outside of the new right-of-way on Overland Road and
Eagle Road.
Page 6
All utili .ty relocation costs associated with improving street frontages abutting the site should be
home by the developer.
The applicant is not proposing to construct any stub slreets to the undeveloped parcels to the
south. District policy requires stub streets to provide access to adjoining properties. The parcel to
the south is 27-acres, and that property owner also owns several surrounding properties.
The property owner to the south of this site (Sutherland Farms) has requested that the applicant be
required to construct a stub street to serve his property, and also construct an east-west collector
street along the common property line to serve his property. It is likely that the property, to the
south will develop as residential, as is designated in the Ci.ty of Meridian Compreliensive Plan.
The applicant has agreed to construct a driveway at the south property line that would serve as a
shared access with the property o~vner. Staffdoes not recommend that the applicant be required
to construct an east-west collector street along the south property line, as the applicant is
cons~a'ucfing a collector roadway through the site and it is not needed along the south property.
line. If the applicant constructs a stub street to the property to the south, the minimum length of
the road would be 750-feet. The average cost to build a local street is $80/linear foot. The
approximate cost to construct a stub street to the south property line would be $60,000. Staff
does not recommend the construction ora stab street to the south property, line.
The applicant is opposed to the construction of any slub streets to surrounding properties.
Atthe Commission meeting on March 14, 2001, a representative of the parcel to the south
testified on behalf of Sutherland Farms and requested a stub street to the south property, line.
The ACHD Commission required the construction of a shared driveway at the south prope,'~:y line,
but did not require the conslruction of a stub street to the south.
In accordance with District policy, the applicant should be required to construct a 5-foot wide
concrete sidewalk on Overland Road abutting the entire site. Coordinate the location and
elevation of the sidewalk with Dislrict staff.
In accordance with Dis~int policy, the applicant should be required to consmmt a 5-foot wide
concrete sidewalk on Eagle Road abutting the entire site. Coordinate the location and elevation of
the sidewalk with District staff.
Any proposed landscape islands/medians within the public right-of-way dedicated by this plat
should be owned and maintained by Silverstone owners. Notes of this should be required on the
final plat.
In order to reduce/rips to and from this development it is recommended that Tenants occupying
the proposed building be required to provide an Alternative Transportation Program for
employees and provide an annual report to ACHD on employee participation. Commuter/de staff
will coordinate the Alternative Transportation Program with the applicant. For more informahon
contact Pat Nelson at 387-6160.
In order to reduce trips to and from this development; it is recommended that the tenants
occupying the proposed building(s) be required to participate in any Transportation Management

Association (TMA) or Transportation Management Organization (TMO) that is formed with a
boundary, that includes th_is site or is adjacent to lifts development.
A Transportation Management Association (TMA) or Transportation Management Organization
(TMO) is formed with a coordinator ~hat works as a liaison between businesses and private and
public transportation providers to increase the use of alternative transportation and other hip
reduction measures (stiuttie buses, bus pass programs, vanpools, carpools, bicycle and walking
enhancements),
An annual survey will be required of the TMA/TMO to monitor participation in alternative
transportation pro.ams and forwarded to the ACHD Commutefide Office.
Based on development patterns in this area and the resulting traffic generation, staff
anticipates that the tramportation system will not be adequate to accommodate additional
traffic generated by this proposed development at accepted levels of service with out
modifications to Eagle Road and Overland Road, and the intersection.
Special Recommendation to ITD:
According to the submitted traffic study, the proposed development is projected to generate an
average daily traffic (Al)T) of 9,629 vehicles per day (vpd), of which the peak hour lraffic
(PHT) is 1,021 vehicles per hour (vph). At build out, the project will add 6,317 vehicles per day
to Eagle Road north of the site, of these trips 847 will take the westbound 1-84 ramp, 2,504 will
travel eastbound on 1-84, and the remaining 2,966 will continue to the north.
Special Recommendation to Ci~ of Meridian:
In order to reduce trips to and from this development it is recommended that tenants occupying
the proposed building be required to provide an Alternative Transportation Program for
employees and provide an annual report to ACHD on employee participation. Commuteride
staff will coordinate the Alternative Transportation Program with the applicant. For more
information contact Ms. Pat Nelson at 387-6160.
In order to reduce trips to and from this development, the tenants occupying the proposed

The Overland/Eagle Road and MeridiardOverland Road intersections operate at a Level of
Service F (LOS F), and are listed as one of the 100 most critical intersections in Ada County..
Access control wi~in the operating area of the intersection is vital to the safe operations of the
intersection. The subject site's additional traffic will exacerbate the Ixaffic problems at these
intersections.
Based on development patterns in this area and the resulting ~'affic generation, staff anticipates
that the transportation system will not be adequate to accommodate additional traffic generated
by this proposed development at accepted levels of service with out modifications to Eagle Road

Interstate 84 is three lanes eastbound and three lanes westbound. There is an "ON" and "OFF"
ramp at Eagle Road.
The Overland/Eagle Road and Meridian/Overland Road intersections operate at a Level of
Service F (LOS Ir), and are listed a~ one of the 100 most critical inter~ections in Ada
Count. Acce~ control within the operating area of the intemection is vital to the safe
operations of the inter~ection. The subject site's additional traffic will exacerbate the traffic
problems at these intersections.
On March 2, 2001, the staff met as the District's Technical Review Committee and reviewed the
impacts of this proposed development on the District's transportation system. Tire results of that
analysis constitute the following Facts and Findings and recommended Site Specific
Requirements.
A traffic study ~vas submitted for the SilverStone Corporate Center in Meridiam Idaho. The key
findings of the traffic study include the followfng.
· The proposed development is projected to generate an average daily traffic (ADT)of 9,629
ve,hicles per day (vpd), of which the peak hour traffic (PHT) is 1,021 vehicles per hour (vph).
· At build out, the project will add 6,$ l 7 vehicles per day to Eagle Road north ~fthe szte, of these
trzps 847 will talc* the westbound f-84 ramp, 2.504 will trav,l eastbound on f-84, and the
remaining 2,966 will continue to the north. All additional 1,100 vehicles per day will travel
south of the site on Eagle Road. The project will add 1,380 vehcles per day to Overland Road
east of the sim and 850 vehicles per day west of the site.
· The intersection of Eagle Road and Overland Road is currently operating ar Level of Se. vice
(LOS) F. It will operate at LOS F under background traffic conditions with or without the site
being developed. This development should be required to participate, in improvements to tbJ. s
intersection to bring it to an acceptable level of service.
· The inter,co,erin of Eagle Road and the eastbound and westbound off-ramps of 1-84 will
function at an acceptable Ieve! of s¢,wice with the addition of site traffic. This assumes that the
proposed signal on the eastbound off-ramp is constructed by ITD.
· The inmrsecfion of Eagle Road and Franklin Road will operate at LOS F with or without the
project, improvements to this intersection will require additional right-of-way and coordination
with other projects. Since the majority, of the lraffic will be coming from other ~owth in the
area. widening of this intersection should be considered by the ACHD and ITD.
· The intersection of Overland Road and Meridian Road will operate at LOS F under back~ound
traffic conditions and LOS F with the addition of site traffic. Additional lanes are required to
make tiffs intersection operate at au acceptable LOS D. This intersection is within the limits cfa
proposed project by ACHD. The sire traffic should be included in the plarmmg of the ACHD
improvements project.
· The intersection of Overland Road and Cloverdale Road will require improvements to operate at
LOS E. This area will probably see development in the coming years. It is recommended that
the project will contribute to the future reconstruction oft[tis intersection.
Silver~tone. emm
Page 3
· The inte,'~ection of Overland Road and Five Mile Road will suffer a small incre=e in de!av due
to project'a'affic. Other growth will contribute to most of the deterioration of the intersec~on.
The project should not be required to participate in the recons~uction of t/tis intersection.
· The intersection of Eagle Road and Victory. Road will operate at an acceptable level of service,
LOS £, after the build out of this project.
· Eagle Road south if the project will overate at an acceptable level o£ service after build out of
the pr?ject. The site should contribut~ fight-of-way for future roadway expansion. Since Eaa!e
Road m on a section line, it is assumed that the future roadway will be a five-lane road. ~
· Eagle Road north of the site will operate at au acceptable love'! of se.wice after build out of the
project.
· Overland Road west of Eagle Road will operate at an acceptable level of se:vice for a three-lane
roaxi. A thr~-!ane road is proposed to be built by ACHD on t/tis section of roadway.
· Overland Road east of Eagle Road will operate at a poor level of service after build'out of the
project. The project should be required to dedicate fight-of-way for a five-lane future roadwav.
In the interim, flue project should be required to construct a righir-tum lane and a left-turn lane for
the full frontage of the project along Overland Road.
· The project should be required to consmact a signal at the main entrance to the site on Eagle
Ro~ and to the mom entrance to the site on Overland Road. Each signal will require a left-turn
lane and a ddght-tum lane.
The applicant is proposing to construct lxvo driveways on Overland Road and one public street
connection. The proposed accesses are located:
· 400-feet ernst of Eagle Road (western driveway)
· 690-feet east of Eagle Road and 265-f~t eazt of western driveway (middle driveway)
· 1,070-feet e~t of Eagle Road (public street)
DisWict policy 7204.7.3 states that access points on arterials are based on the following:
':' One access point for less than 150-feet of frontage
':' Two access points for 150-600-feet of frontage
':- Three access points for ~eater than 600-feet of frontage.
Access points are considered to be both public streem and driveways.
The applicant is proposing to consWuct three access points on Overland Road in accordance with
District policy. The ACH]~ Commission approved these three access points on Overland Road.
The applicant is proposing to eonSUruct five driveways on Eagle Road and one public street
connection. The proposed accesses are located:
· 400-feet south of Overland Road (northern driveway)
· 690-feet south of Overland Road and 265-feet south of northern driveway (northern middle
driveway)
· 420-feet south of northern middle driveway (middle driveway)
· 1,590-feet south of Overland Road (public strut)
· 410-feet south of public street (southern driveway)
· At the south property line (shared southern driveway)
District policy 7204.7.3 states thai access points on arterials are based on the following:
':' One access point for less than i50-feet of frontage
Sil'/emtone. crum
-:' Two access points for 150-500-feet offi'ontage
· :, Tliree access points for greater than 600-feet of frontage.
Access points are considered to be both public struts and dr/vesvays.
The applicant is proposing to consUmct six access points on Eagle Road. DisWict policy allows
three access points. Six access points would require a variance from the Commission. Staff
recommends adherence of policy because the applicant is conslructing a public strut through the
site mad should have sufficient access internally mad with three access points (t~vo driveways and
one public s~eet) on Eagle Road. The proposed driveways are located on shared property, lines
and staffrecommends that the applicant conslruct a driveway atthe south property line to
provide for future shared access with the parcel to ltue south; the spine road connection, and a
second driveway located north of the spine road, but located a minimum of 440-feet south of
Overland Road.
The applicant does not concur with starts recommendation on the number of access points on
Eagle Road, and wi/1 provide ir~brmation to the Cormuission requeshng a modification of policy.
The ACHD Commission approved three access points on Eagle Road with this application. One
access point shall be located at the scum prope,'-rv, line, and shall be constructed as a shared
· dr/veway. The second access point shall be the proposed public road, located as proposed. The
tl~d access point shall be located a minimum of 440~feet south of Overtand Road, and a
minimum 440-feet north of the proposed public street that will be signalized in the future.
The applicant is proposing to construct a spine road through the site with connections at Overland
Road and Eagle Road. Due to the volumes of traffic this development is expected to generate, the
applicant should conslruct this roadway as a 46-foot street section with curbs, ~atters and
sidewalks. If the applicant constructs attached sidewalks, the sidewalk should be consU'ucted 7-
feet wide, and the s~eet should be constructed within 64-feet of right-of-way. If the applicant
constructs detached sidewalks, the sidewalk should be constructed 5-feet wide, a. nd the street
should be conslructed within 70-feet of right-of-way. Parking should be reswicted on the
proposed s~reet, and the applicant shouid submit a signage plan prior t9 final plat approval.
The applicant's site plan indicates a traffic si__*nal on Overland Road ortho intersection with the
proposed public street, located appro.,fimatety ¼-mile east of Eagle Road, and one on Eagle Road
located appro*6mately 1/3-mile south of Overland Road. It is not clear from the applicant's
proposal if the intent is for the traffic si_anals to be consmacted with the projec~ or if they are
shown on the plan as "future". According to the submitted traffic study, at full build-out,, the
project should be required to cons'a'uct the siguals, and flue necessary, site improvements associated
with the signals: lef~-tum lanes and fifight-tam lanes.
Based on ACHD Commission action, traffic signals cannot be installed at these intersections until
there is a warrant. The applicant's traffic engineer should work with ACHD Traffic So, ices staff
to determine when the warrant is met, or is close to being met. The developer should be
financially responsible for the cost of one-half of the si_.~nal. ~f the properties across from this
subdivision have not been developed pr/or to the signal warrant, the applicant of*his site shall
fund [00% of the cost of the si.mauls. Atthe time that those prope,~ies develop, a road lrust will
be acquired and this applicant shall be reimbursed for one half of the cost of the signal. This
applicant should enter into a written a~eement with the District for these two traffic si_mauls.

The applicant should be required to construct center mm lanes on Overland Road and Eagle Road
for the proposed public street intersections and for full access driveways. The roadways are
currently only 2-1ones in width, and the submitted traffic study detemuined that these lanes should
be required.
The applicant is proposing to construct islands at the main entrances to the proposed spine roads.
The islands may interfere with taming movements at the si~als. The applicant should coordinate
the intersection desi~mus with Dislrict Traffic Services staff.
Driveways on the proposed spine road should be located a minimum distance of 175-feet from
Eagle Road and Overland Road, and should align or offset · minimum of 125-feet fi.om any
proposed driveways. The site plan shows driveways on the proposed sa:vt located with/n 25-feet
of other proposed driveways, and some of the driveways are constructed with medians: such a
configuration is confusing to the motorist The applicant should revise the site plan and relocate
dr/veways in accord~mce with district policy.
The applicant is proposing to construct a large island in the middle of the spine road, with
driveways on both sides. The driveways are located so that motorists could make unsafe leL tums
fi.om the driveways. The applicant should either,: construct the island as a me roundabout..
eliminate the driveways; or eliminate the island.
The applicant is proposing to construct a local street off of the spine road. The location of the
strut conforms to ACHD policy. The street should be constructed as a local/commercial street:
40-foot street section with curbs, gutters and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalks within 58-feet of
right~of-way.
,at the meeting on March 14, 200 l, the applicant submitted a drawing indicating that t/tis street
would be stubbed to the undeveloped 80-acre property to the east. Based on the applicant's
testimony, and the need for interconnectlvi .ty the ACH]) Commission required ti'tis ,tub street as
condition of approval.
The stub street should be constructed to the east property, line betwean Lot 5 and Lot 6, Block 1.
The applicant should provide a paved temporary turnaround at the east end of the stub with a
temporary, easement provided to the District. The applicant should be requked to install a sign at
the terminus of the roadway stating that, "THIS ROAD W'iLL BE EXTENDED IN THE
FUTURE". Coordinate the sign pla~ for the stub stree% and the design of the turnaround with
DisU'ict staff.
Utility ~eet cuts in pavement less than five years old are not allowed unless approved in ~witing
by the Dislric:. Contact Construction Services at 387-6280 (with file numbers) for details.
Irrigation facilities should be relocated outside of the new fight-of-way on Overiand Road and
Eagle Road.
Ail utility, relocation costs associated with improving street frontages abutting the sire should be
borne by the developer.
The applicant is not proposing to construct any stub streets to the undeveloped parcels to the
south. District policy requires stub streets to provide access to adjoining properties. The parcel to
the south is 27-acres, and that property, owner aisc o~vns several surrounding prope,'~ies.
The property owner to the south of this site (Sutherland Farms) has requested that the applicant be
required to construct a stub s~reet to se.we his property, and also conslruct an east-west collector
street along the common prope.'W, line to se,we his properD.'. It is likely that the prope,'W, to the
south will develop as residential, as is desi_maated in the City. of Meridian Comprehensive Plan.
The applicant has a~eed to construct a driveway at the south property, line that would se~'e as a
shared access with the property, owner. Stuffdoes not recommend that the applicant be required
to construct ma east-west collector street along the south properq/line, as the applicant is
consmacring a eollector roadway through the site and it is not needed along the south properW.
line. If the applicant consmacts a stub street to the property to the south, the minimum length of
the road would be 750-feet The average cost to build a local street is S80/linear foot. The
approximate cost to construct a stub street to the south prope.? line would be 560,000. Staff
does not recommend the construction cfa stub street to the south properW, line.
The applicant is opposed to the construction of any stub streets to surrounding properties.
Atthe Commission meeting on March 14, 2001, a representative of the parcel to the south
testified on behalf of Suthefland Farms and requested a stub strut to the south prope,.xy line.
The ACHD Cormmission required the construction of a shared driveway at the south property line,
but did not require the construction of a stub street to the south.
ha accordance with District policy, the applicant should be required to construct a 5-foot wide
concrete sidewall< on Overland Road abutting the entire site. Coordinate the location and
elevation of the sidewalk with Disa-ict staff.
ha accordance with District policy, the applicant should be required to construct a 5-foot wide
concrete sidewalk on Eagle Road abutting the entire site. Coordinate the location and elevation of
the sidewalk with District staff.
Any proposed landscape islands/medians within the public right-of-way dedicated by this plat
should be owned and maintained by Silverstone owners. Notes of this should be required on the
final plat.
In order to reduce trips to and from this developmant it is recommended that Tenants occupying
the proposed building be required to provide an Alternative Transportation Pro~m-n for
employe~s and provide an manual report to ACHD on employee participation. Cornmuteride staff
will coordinate the Alternative Transportation Pro,am with the applicant. For more information
contact Pat Nelson at 387-6160.
ha order to reduce ~ps to and from this development, it is recommended that the tenants
occupying the proposed building(s) be required to participate in any Transportation Management

Association (TM_A) or Transportation Man~emant Organization (TMO) that is formed wkh a
boundary, fl~a: includes this site or is adjacent to this development.
A Transportation Management Association (TMA) or Transportation Managemem Organization
(TMO) is formed with a coordinator that works as a halson beV,veen businesses and private and
public transportation providers to increase the use of alternative u'anspormtion and other ~p
reduction measures (shuttle buses, bus pass programs, vanpools, cat-pools, bicycle and walldng
enhancements).
An annum survey will be required of the TMA/TMO to monitor participation in alternative
transportation pro.ams m~d forwarded to the ACHD Commutefide Office.
Based on development patterns in this area and the resulting traffic generation, staff
anticipates that the transportation s.vstem will not be adequate to accommodate additional
traffic generated by this proposed development at accepted levels of service with out
modifications to Eagle Road and Overland Road, and the intersection.
Special Recommendation to lTD:
1. According to the submitted traffic study, the proposed development is projected to generate an
average daily traffic (gDT) of 9,629 vehicles per day (vpd), of wi'Ach the peak hour ~affic
(PHT) is 1,021 vehicles per hour (vph). At build out, the project will add 6,317 vehicles per day
to Eagle Road north of the site, of these trips 847 will take the westhound 1-84 ramp, 2,504 will
travel eastbound on 1-84, and the remaining 2,966 will continue to the north.
Special Recommendation to City. of Meridian:
In order to reduce trips to and from this development it is recommended that tenants occupying
the proposed building be required to provide an Alternative Transportation Program for
employees and provide an annual report to ACHD on employ~ participation. Commuteride
staffwill coordinate the Alternative Transportation Program with the applicant. For more
information contact Ms. Pat Nelson at 387-6160.
