Traffic Study:
Victory Road currently has 2 traffic lanes, and no curb gutter or sidewalk
abutting the site. There are three lanes on Victory Road at its intersection
with Meridian Road (SH 69). There is approximately 75-feet of right-of-way
existing for Victory Road.
Maestra Street was constructed to commercial street standards and local
residential street standards; it has vertical curb and gutter abutting the site
within 52-feet of right-of-way. This roadway was approved as a half-street
with Strada Bellisima Subdivision.
The three stub streets to the site, Alaska Street, Sear Track Street and South
Garibaldi Avenue are improved with 36-feet of pavement, two travel lanes
and curb, gutter, and sidewalk within 50-feet of right-of-way.
There is one defined access points to Meridian Road from this property.
ACHD previously approved a part of this site for development on January 31,
2006 under MCUP05-058, which is the Valley Shepherd Church fronting
Meridian Road (State Highway 69).
This development is estimated to generate 960 additional vehicle trips per
day (550 from the single family dwellings & 410 from the Church) based on
the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Single Family
Detached Dwelling and Church land use designation.
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.
A traffic impact study was not required with this application; however the
applicant provided some additional information.

B. Findinas for Consideration
1. Meridian Road (SH69)
Meridian Road (SH69) is currently under the jurisdiction of the Idaho Transportation Department.
Staff Comment/Recommendation:
The applicant is required to comply with lTD.
2. West Kodiak Drive & Collector Roadway to Meridian Road (SH 69)
District Street Section and Right-of-Way Policy:
Collector Roadway:
District policy 72-F1A, 7202.3.2 and 7202.3.5, requires that residential collectors be constructed as
36-foot street sections with curb, gutter and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalks with no front-on
housing. The access restrictions for these street segments should be stated on the final plat.
Unless otherwise noted, parking should be prohibited on these street segments. Coordinate the
signage Program with District staff.
Loca/ Residential Roadway:
District policy 7204.4.2 states, "developments with any buildable lot that is less that 1-acre in size
will typically provide streets having a minimum pavement width of 32-feet with curb, gutter and
sidewalks. The total street width shall be 36-feet from back-of-curb to back-of-curb. Variations of
this width may be allowed, depending on traffic volumes forecast to be generated by the
development. Concrete sidewalks shall be a minimum of 5-feet in width unless they are separated
from the curb 5-feet or more in which case the sidewalk shall be a minimum of 4-feet in width.
District Roadway Offset Policy:
District policy 7204.11.6 states that the optimum spacing for collector intersections along arterial
roadways is 1, 700-feet to allow adequate signal spacing. The minimum spacing that is acceptable
for collector intersections along arterials is 1,300-feet.
Applicant Proposal:
The applicant proposes to dedicate 50-feet of right-of-way from the intersection of West Kodiak
Drive and South Riptide Avenue 125-feet east to the property line. The applicant proposes to
construct West Kodiak Drive as a 36-foot street section within 50-feet of right-of-way and to
terminate the roadway with a hammerhead turnaround. The applicant does not propose to
construct the collector roadway abutting the church site.
Staff Comment/Recommendation:
Background
On the proposed preliminary plat for this application, the applicant identifies a "disputed collector
road" along the north boundary of the church site to Meridian Road (SH 69). When the District
reviewed the conditional use permit application for the church on this site, the City of Meridian
discussed with staff and the applicant the possibility of constructing a collector roadway to intersect
Meridian Road near the half-mile. In the staff report for the conditional use permit for the church,
staff identified some concerns that would need to be addressed if the collector roadway was
required by the City. The concerns included the fact that if the roadway were constructed near the
site's north property line (nearly at the half-mile), it would provide an offset of approximately 100 to
150-feet from an existing roadway (Rosalyn Court) on the east side of Meridian Road. This site
does not have sufficient property to achieve an alignment with the existing Rosalyn Court; therefore,
if the roadway is required, the District and the City would be compelled to require the relocation of
an existing public street (Rosalyn Court) when the property on the east side re-develops.
In addition, District staff raised the concern that the Idaho Transportation Department may not
approve an additional access to Meridian Road (SH 69). With the approval of the development to
the south of this site, Strada Bellisima Subdivision, ITD approved a local roadway, Maestra Street,
to intersect Meridian Road at % mile. This roadway was intended to provide the necessary access
for that development and for the church site.
There is an existing residential collector within this mile, Calderwood Street. Calderwood is located
approximately 1/3 mile south of Overland Road. Calderwood Street has been the discussed
location of a signal along this mile of Meridian Road because the residential collector serves both
the east and west sides of Meridian Road. However, if a collector were to be required with this
application near the site's north property line, the signal could potentially be located at this
intersection near the 1h mile.
Original Staff Recommendation:
If the City of Meridian requires the collector roadway, and ITD approves the access to Meridian
Road (SH 69), the District recommends that the roadway be constructed as a 36-foot residential
collector roadway (vertical curb, gutter, and 5-foot concrete sidewalks) within 50-feet of right-of-way.
In addition, if the roadway is required by the City of Meridian and approved by ITD, the District
would like the City to consider not allowing the use of the roadway until the proper alignment can be
achieved with a re-alignment of Rosalyn Court on the east side of Meridian Road.
If the roadway is not required by the City of Meridian, the applicant will be required to construct W.
Kodiak Drive as a standard local street with a standard cul-de-sac turnaround or knuckle.

3. Commission Action on September 6th, 13th, and 20th
On September 6, 2006 the City of Meridian Planning and Zoning Manager, Caleb Hood,
testified before the Commission advocating that the ACHD Commission require the
applicant to construct the "disputed collector" on the grounds that the Meridian
Comprehensive Plan called for a mid-mile collector on Meridian Road (SH69) and the
safety aspect of the proposed location. Mr. Hood bolstered his argument for the mid-mile
collector with an assertion that in the future, a mid-mile collector could be signalized
whereas the two existing intersections of West Calderwood Way and West Maestra Street
could be restricted to right-in/right-out only. The City of Meridian was also working with the
parcel located immediately to the east of the location of the "disputed collector" for a
possible alignment for a future roadway to be dedicated to the ACHD.
The applicant submitted a petition from the Sear Creek West Homeowners Association
asking for the Commissioners to vote in opposition to the "disputed collector" as well as
other issues, which was signed by 243 individuals. The Sear Creek West Homeowner
Association Representatives also made a pointed presentation outlining their concerns, as
a group.
The applicant testified before the commission stating that the development did not generate
enough vehicle trips per day to warrant the mid-mile collector. The applicant also
presented a comprehensive overview of all the concerned stakeholders, including: the
owner, emergency services, ITD, the City of Meridian and the neighborhood abutting the
subject site.
On September 6th the ACHD Commission acted on the Shepherd Creek Subdivision by
restricting public street access to Meridian Road, effectively creating a continuous
north/south corridor connecting the Cities of Kuna and Meridian with an uninterrupted
thoroughfare. The ACHD Commission approved the Preliminary Plat for Shepherd Creek
Subdivision with the following additional requirements:
1. The applicant is required to construct a fourth stub street to the east of the
residential development and south of the Valley Shepherd Church of the Nazarene
to connect West Kodiak Drive to West Maestra Street.
2. The applicant is prohibited from connecting West Kodiak Drive to Meridian Road
(SH69) with the "disputed collector" roadway.
On September 13th the ACHD Commission heard a request for reconsideration of the
previous commission level action from the applicant and the City of Meridian on the basis
that new information was to be provided.
The new information came in the form of a letter from the Idaho Transportation Department,
which has statutory authority over Meridian Road (SH69), and the letter stated that ITD
favored the mid-mile location of collector roadways for several reasons. Signalization of
mid-mile collectors is a likely potentiality, whereas non-mid mile access points will likely not
be signalized. Meridian Road is classified as a Type IV roadway, and therefore; access is
restricted to only the % Mile. The applicant proposed to demonstrate that the trip
generation of the proposed development did not warrant a 4th stub street.
The ACHD Commission approved the request for reconsideration and moved the item to
the next week's agenda.
On September 20th the ACHD Commission acted on the request for appeal, affirming in
part and reversing in part, of the previous commission action.
The Commission reversed the previous requirement for a 4th stub street on the grounds
that the trip generation from the site did not exceed the planning threshold for the existing
stub streets or the interconnecting roadways and that the traffic generated by the
development could utilize the existing roadways to reach West Maestra Street; thereby
satisfying the original intent of the first Commission action.
The Commission affirmed the previous requirement not to connect a roadway to Meridian
Road (SH69) on account of the presentation of the Bear Creek West Homeowner
Association representatives and the testimony of nearby homeowners. The Commission
explained that this was the District's chance to enforce the County's interest in having a
non-interrupted thoroughfare connecting the north and south regions of Ada County.
The commission required that the applicant provide a continuous right-af-way path from
West Kodiak Drive to the church site to the east. If and when the church property
redevelops, access to the public street system could be attained at that location. The
applicant is required to provide curb, gutter and 5-foot attached concrete sidewalk along the
entire quasi-stub street with radii at the northeastern and southeastern corners (or a
rounded terminus rather than gO-degree angles).
The ACHD Commission approved the Preliminary Plat for Shepherd Creek Subdivision with
the following additional requirements:
1. The applicant is prohibited from connecting West Kodiak Drive to Meridian Road
(SH69) with the "disputed collector" roadway.
2. Provide continuous right-of-way from West Kodiak Drive east to the church site
and provide complete roadway improvements abutting the entire stub street.
4. Internal Public Roadways
District Street Section and Right-of-Way Policy:
District policy 7204.4.2 states, "developments with any buildable lot that is less that 1-acre in size
will typically provide streets having a minimum pavement width of 32-feet with curb, gutter and
sidewalks. The total street width shall be 36-feet from back-of-curb to back-of-curb. Variations of
this width may be allowed, depending on traffic volumes forecast to be generated by the
development. Concrete sidewalks shall be a minimum of 5-feet in width unless they are separated
from the curb 5-feet or more in which case the sidewalk shall be a minimum of 4-feet in width.
District 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:
The applicant proposes to construct the internal roadways as typical street sections: 36-foot street
sections within 50-feet of right-of-way complete with curb, gutter and 5-foot attached concrete
~
"'L _ __ 1_ _ ___, ,.........~ ~ 1_ ^'_ _I.... ....J:=:. _':~ == ~~_
sidewalk. No two roadways are proposed within 125-feet proximity of one another (measured
centerline to centerline).
Staff Comment/Recommendation:
The applicant's proposal for the internal public roadways is approved with this application, as
proposed.
5. Stub Streets
District 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 proposes to extend an existing stub street from the north, South Alaska Way, located
approximately 135-feet east of the west property line (measured property line to centerline). This
stub street shall connect to the existing street, South Alaska Way within the Bear Creek Subdivision
north of this site.
The applicant proposes to extend an existing stub street from the south, South Garibaldi Avenue,
located approximately 185-feet east of the west property line (measured property line to centerline).
This stub street shall align with and connect to the existing street, South Garibaldi Avenue within
the Strada Bellissima Subdivision to the south of this site.
The applicant proposes to extend an existing stub street from the west, West Bear Track Drive,
located approximately 355-feet south of the north property line (measured property line to
centerline). This stub street shall align with and connect to the existing street, West Bear Track
Drive, within the Bear Creek Subdivision Sub to the west of this site.
Staff Comment/Recommendation:
Staff is supportive of the applicant's proposal for the three stub streets, which are approved with this
application.
6. West Maestra Street-
District Street Section and Right-of-Way Policy:
Commercial Roadways:
District policy 7202.8 and 72-F1A, requires roadways abutting commercial developments to be
constructed as a 40-foot street section with curb, gutter and 5-foot concrete sidewalk within 54-feet
at right-at-way.
Local Residential Roadways:
District policy 7204.4.2 states, "developments with any buildable lot that is less that 1-acre in size
will typically provide streets having a minimum pavement width of 32-teet with curb, gutter and
sidewalks. The total street width shall be 36-feet from back-of-curb to back-of-curb. Variations of
this width may be allowed, depending on traffic volumes forecast to be generated by the
7
C!.........MIt....._..~ "..""'~I,. C!'to..........:..;_;__
development. Concrete sidewalks shall be a minimum of 5-feet in width unless they are separated
from the curb 5-feet or more in which case the sidewalk shall be a minimum of 4-feet in width.
Applicant Proposal:
The applicant does not propose improvements to the roadway.
Staff
Comment/Recommendation:
History:
ACHD Staff reviewed Strada Sellissima in July of 2004. Maestra was constructed with that
subdivision as one half of a commercial, from Meridian Road (SH69) to the western property line of
the last commercial lot, and as a local residential roadway from the property line of the last
commercial lot to the intersection of South Alfani Way.
The applicant is required to complete the street improvements to Maestra Street, where it abuts this
subdivision site, as (a) one half of a 40-foot street section complete with vertical curb, gutter and 5-
foot attached concrete sidewalk, from SH69 to the last commercial lot on the opposite side of the
roadway, and (b) as one half of a 36-foot street section complete with curb, gutter and 5-foot
attached concrete sidewalk for the remainder of the roadway as it transitions westward.
7. Driveway Policy
District Driveway Policy:
Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance problems due to gravel being
tracked onto the roadway. In accordance with District policy, 7207.9.1, 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 with 15-foot radii abutting the existing
roadway edge.
District Residential Driveway Width Policy:
District Policy 7207.9.3 restricts residential driveways to a maximum width of 20-feet.
District Driveway Offset Policy:
District policy 72-F4 (1) and 72-F4 (2), requires driveways located on local residential roadways to
offset a controlled andlor uncontrolled intersection a minimum of 50-feet (measured near edge to
near edge).
Applicant Proposal:
The applicant has not specifically identified the location of driveways on the Preliminary Plat
application.
Staff Comment/Recommendation:
Staff understands that the exact location of the driveways will be proposed in the future. The
applicant is required to comply with the above stated policies regulating driveways.
8. District Tree Planter Width Interim Policy
District's Tree Planter Width 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.
Staff Comment/Recommendation:
The applicant is required to comply with the above stated policy regulating tree planter widths, if the
applicant, at a later time, proposes to install these facilities.

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.
