A. Findings of Fact
Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate 3,812 additional vehicle trips per day (0
existing) based on the submitted traffic study.
2. Impact Fees: The impact fee rate from the fee tables for these uses are:
The impact fee for a residence below 1,500-square feet is $1,055.00 per unit.
The impact fee for a residence above 1,500-square feet is $1,294.00 per unit.
These rates are based on the impact fee ordinance in effect at this time.
3. Traffic Impact Study: A traffic impact study was required with this application. The traffic impact
study was completed by Washington Group International and the following is a summary of the
findings:
• The proposed development is projected to generate an average daily traffic (ADT) of 3,812
vehicles per day (vpd), of which 252 vpd are trips to the elementary school. These school trips do
not leave the proposed subdivision and thus do not enter the public roadway system. The project
generates 501 vehicles per hour (vph) in the peak hour, of which 67 vph are trips from the
elementary school to the proposed subdivision.
The intersection of Locust Grove Road and Ustick Road is asignal-controlled intersection. The
overall intersection is currently operating at a LOS C with a delay of 22 seconds. In the design
year 2012, the intersection will operate at LOS D with an average delay of 42 seconds without the
traffic generated by Havasu Creek. At build-out of the Havasu Creek site, the intersection is
projected to operate at a LOS D with a delay of 42 seconds. The Havasu Creek traffic does not
negatively impact the intersection.
• The intersection of Locust Grove Road and McMillan Road is an all-way stop-controlled
intersection. The overall intersection is currently operating at a LOS B with a delay of 13
seconds. In the design year 2012, the intersection will operate at LOS F with an average delay of
115 seconds without the traffic generated by Havasu Creek. At build-out of the Havasu Creek
site, the intersection is projected to operate at a LOS F with a delay of 167 seconds.
• The intersection of Meridian Road and McMillan Road is an all-way stop-controlled intersection.
The overall intersection is currently operating at a LOS B with a delay of 11 seconds. In the
design year 2012, the intersection will operate at LOS F with an average delay of 79 seconds
without the traffic generated by Havasu Creek. At build-out of the Havasu Creek site, the
intersection is projected to operate at a LOS F with a delay of 120 seconds.
The intersection of Meridian Road and Ustick Road is an all-way stop-controlled intersection. The
overall intersection is currently operating at a LOS B with a delay of 14 seconds. In the design
year 2012, the intersection will operate at LOS F with an average delay of 500 seconds without
the traffic generated by Havasu Creek. At build-out of the Havasu Creek site, the intersection is
projected to operate at a LOS F with a delay of 531 seconds.
The North and East access intersections on McMillan Road and Locust Grove Road will operate
at acceptable conditions at Havasu Creek build out. Heritage Commons is a proposed
2
subdivision adjacent to the project site on the south. Access to Locust Grove Road from the
project site is available through the Heritage Commons subdivision. Some trips will use this
access. The Heritage Commons access on Locust Grove Road will operate at acceptable
conditions at Havasu Creek build-out.
Other Vicinity Developments:
Traffic from Bayless, Heritage Commons, and Bridgetower subdivisions are included in the background
traffic.
Intersection Analysis:
Roadway Capacity:
McMillan Road, Locust Grove Road, Ustick Road, and Meridian Road have adequate existing capacity to
handle the Havasu Creek traffic in the design year at an acceptable LOS. However, all of the proceeding
roads will not have adequate capacity to handle the build out of the 12-square mile North Meridian
Planning Area at 2020.

Site Access and Circulation:
McMillan Rd. requires left-turn and right turn deceleration lanes for traffic turning into the site at the north
approach. Traffic projections on the north approach that extends into the site exceed 1,000 vpd. This
road should be designed based on Collector Standards.
Locust Grove Rd. requires left-turn and right-turn deceleration lanes for traffic turning into the site at the
east approach. Traffic projections on the east approach exceed 1,000 vpd, but traffic quickly dissipates
after entering the approach and falls below 1,000 vpd before reaching residences fronting local streets.
Locust Grove Rd. requires left-turn and right-turn deceleration lanes for traffic turning into the site at the
Heritage approach. Traffic projections on the Heritage Approach exceed 1,000 vpd. The Heritage
Commons Traffic Impact Study recommends that this approach be designed based on Collector
Standards.
The following are the principal recommendations of the study:
1. The site's North access intersection will be a 2-way stop-controlled intersection. The left-turn
movement from site access is projected to operate at a LOS C with a delay of 17 seconds at the build
out year. A left-turn bay on McMillan Road is warranted with this development. Aright-turn bay on
McMillan Road for entrance to the development is warranted.
2. The site's East access intersection will be a 2-way stop-controlled intersection. The left-turn
movement from site access is projected to operate at a LOS B with a delay of 14 seconds at the build
out year. A left-tum bay on Locust Grove Road is warranted with this development. Aright-turn bay
on Locust Grove Road for entrance to the development is warranted.
4
3. The Heritage Commons access intersection will be utilized by some of the trips from the project site
and will be a 2-way stop-controlled intersection. The left-turn movement is projected to operate at a
LOS B with a delay of 14 seconds at the build-out year. A left-turn bay on Locust Grove Road is
warranted. Aright-turn bay on Locust Grove Road for entrance to the development is warranted.
4. The intersection of McMillan/Locust Grove, McMillan/Meridian, and Ustick/Meridianoll require
widening on all four approaches to improve operations. The recommendations of the North Meridian
Area Traffic Study should be consulted in order to provide adequate capacity at these intersections
for the future build-out of the North Meridian Planning Area.
5. The intersection of McMillan/Locust Grove, McMillan/Meridian, and Ustick/Meridian all comply with
the peak hour signal warrant. A detailed analysis will be needed when the projected traffic volumes
are reached before installing a signal at these locations.
6. All of the internal streets with front-on housing have daily traffic projections lower than 1,000 vpd.
The preliminary site layout meets ACHD's access requirements.
In addition to the submitted traffic impact study for this site, staff has included the executive summary of
Washington Group International's regional (North Meridian) traffic impact study.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF THE NORTH MERIDIAN TRAFFIC STUDY
The proposed 12-square mile study area between US 20/26 and Ustick Road and between
McDermott Road and Eagle Road (Sections 25-28, 33-36 of T4N R1 W and sections 29-32 of T4N
R1 E), is selected Ada County Highway District (ACRD) for anticipated development build out. The
following are the principal findings and recommendations of the study:
• By the year 2020 the study area is anticipated to develop an additional 17,599 dwelling units,
2,744,000 sq. ft of office buildings, 1,929,000 sq.ft. of retail buildings, 12 elementary schools, 2
senior high schools, 2 junior high schools, 38,260 sq. ft of church buildings, and approximately 60
acres of park.
• The build out scenario of the study area is projected to generate an average daily traffic (ADT) of
276,764 vehicles per day (vpd), of which the peak hour traffic (PHT) will be 28,206 vehicles per
hour (vph). Out of these trips approximately 10% of the trips remain internal within each section,
and 6% of the trips are pass-by trips.
• The distribution of the traffic from all of the study area sections indicate that approximately 30%
traffic directed towards south, 27% of the traffic directed towards east, 21% of the traffic directed
towards west and north. The remaining 22% of the traffic is distributed within the study area.
• At build out, traffic on the arterials is expected to significantly increase (see Table 4).
• All of the arterial intersections in the study area are currently operating at acceptable level of
service of "C" or better.
• By the year 2020, the majority of study intersections are projected to meet the peak hour traffic
signal warrant.
• A proportionate share of the impacts of the individual sections at each of the study area arterial
intersections is summarized in Table 6.
• Several mid-mile intersections may warrant traffic signals due to the heavy left turn traffic volume.
• Chinden Boulevard is forecasted with 5-lane section in the study area. Right turns lanes may be
required at some access and arterial intersections.
• McMillan Road is forecasted with a 5-lane section east of Black Cat. McMillan Road is forecasted
with a 3-lane section west of Black Cat. At arterial intersections and at access intersections right
turns lanes may be necessary.
5
• Ustick Road is forecasted with a 5-lane section east of Black Cat. Ustick Road is forecasted with a
3-lane section west of Black Cat. At arterial intersections and at access intersections right turns
lanes may be necessary.
• Linder Road forecasted with a 5-lane section in the study area. At arterial intersections and at
access intersections right turns lanes may be required.
• McDermott Road is forecasted with a 3-lane section in the study area. At arterial intersections and
at access intersections turn lanes may be required.
• Black Cat Road is forecasted with a 3-lane section in the study area. At arterial intersections right
tum lanes may be required.
• Ten Mile Road is forecasted with a 5-lane section in the study area. At arterial intersections and at
access intersections turn lanes may be required.
• Meridian Road requires a 3-lane section north of McMillan and 5-lane section south of McMillan in
the study area. At arterial intersections right turn lanes may be required.
• Locust Grove Road requires a 3-lane section in the study area. At arterial intersections right tum
lanes may be required. At Ustick Road a 5-lane section is forecasted.
Staff recognizes that the amount of right-of--way dedicated with these improvements is overwhelming,
and that ACRD may not have the funds to purchase such a large amount of right-of-way. In this
situation it is likely that impact fee offset agreements will be utilized to offset the amount of money that
ACRD will pay out-of-pocket to acquire the right-of-way.

8. Site History
The District has not previously reviewed this site.
9. Five Year Work Program
There are no projects within the area that are scheduled in the District's Five Year Work Program.
10. Other Development in Area
Staff has recently been receiving large amounts of inquiries from developers in the northwest
Meridian area. Many developers are prepared to plat entire section-miles, and have site plans
developed. The preliminary plans generally include upwards of 700 to 900 residential lots, schools,
office/commercial lots, and city and neighborhood parks.
Some of the large developments within the North Meridian Planning area include: Bridgetower
Subdivision, Keltic Heights Subdivision, Baldwin Park Subdivision and Utility Subdivision.
• On October 17, 2001, the Commission approved a rezone application and a sketch plat for Keltic
Heights Subdivision. Keltic Heights Subdivision is proposed to be 1,522 lots. The applicant
proposed 929 residential lots, 8 commercial lots and a 585-unit multi-family subdivision on
452.16-acres.
• On October 17, 2001 the Commission approved a rezone and preliminary plat application for an
8-lot industrial subdivision on 34.6-acres (Utility Subdivision).
• On November 7, 2001 the Commission approved rezone and annexation application for 370.55
acres. The Commission also approved a preliminary plat for 336 lots on 175.91 acres and
conditional use approval for a total of 692 single-family residences, 59 senior housing units, 17
office lots, 10 commercial lots, and an elementary school (Bridgetower Subdivision).
• On February 6, 2002, the Commission approved a preliminary plat application fora 272-lot
residential subdivision on 78-acres (Baldwin Park).
• On April 17, 2002, the Commission approved a preliminary plat application fora 285-lot
subdivision on 75.4 acres (Heritage Commons Subdivision).
• On May 22, 2002, the Commission approved a preliminary plat application for an 876-lot mixed-
use subdivision. The subdivision consisted of 862 single-family dwellings, 171 mufti-family
dwellings, 11 office buildings, 1 commercial building, 1 fire station, 1 city park and 1 private park
(Lochsa Falls Subdivision).
• On July 17, 2002, the Commission approved a request for approval for an annexation and
rezone fora 135,000 square foot Middle School within the Meridian School District.
• On August 21, 2002, the Commission approved a preliminary plat application fora 144-lot
residential subdivision on 43-acres (Sundance Place Subdivision).
• On August 28, 2002, the Commission approved a preliminary plat application fora 12-lot
residential subdivision on 5-acres (Drawbridge Subdivision).
• On September 11, 2002, the Commission approved a preliminary plat application fora 49-lot
residential subdivision on 7.30-acres (Tully Cove Subdivision).
• On October 23, 2002, the Commission approved an 89-lot residential subdivision on 15.4-
acres {Cobblefield Crossing Subdivisionl.

Due to the large number of inquiries and submitted development applications in this area, staff and
the development community realized that the potential for development in this area is extreme and
the traffic impact studies that each individual developer was submitting did not include the major
surrounding developments that are "in the works". If staff examines each development individually,
the roadway system appears adequate, but when staff begins to add in a second or third large-scale
development, the traffic capacities of these roadways (Ustick Road, McMillan Road, Ten Mile Road,
Linder Road) reach their 2020 planning thresholds.
Based on development patterns in this area, and the concern surrounding the abutting roadways,
ACRD hired Washington Group to conduct a traffic impact study of the northwestern Meridian area
from Ustick Road to Chinden Boulevard, and from Meridian Road to one-half mile west of Black Cat
Road.
One option for funding improving these roadways is the implementation of an extra-ordinary impact
fee overlay district. Havasu Creek Subdivision may also be subject to any extraordinary fees that
the District may impose.
The second phase of the study, the economic phase has been initiated and will focus on the cost of
the improvements deemed necessary by the study, including right-of-way costs. The outcome of the
economic study has provided the District with an estimate of the costs to improve the roadways in the
North Meridian Planning Area to handle the traffic generated by the proposed developments in the
area. This final estimated cost is not yet available, as staff is still reviewing street section options that
may reduce the right-of-way costs.
B. Findings for Consideration
Right-of-Way
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.
As a part of the North Meridian Traffic Plan, it was noted that a 3-lane roadway with curb, gutter, 5-
foot concrete detached sidewalks and bike lanes within 70-feet of right-of--way would be adequate to
accommodate the projected traffic volumes on McMillan Road and Locust Grove Road. Due to the
fact that the North Meridian Traffic Plan recommended a 70-foot right-of-way on Locust Grove Road
and the Commission has supported the recommendations in the past, staff is recommending that the
applicant dedicate 70-feet of right-of-way (35-feet from centerline) as opposed to 96-feet of right-of-
way (48-feet from centerline).
2. Sidewalk
District policy requires 5-foot wide (minimum) concrete sidewalk on all arterial roadways.
The applicant should construct 5-foot concrete sidewalk abutting the site on McMillan Road and
North Locust Grove Road. The sidewalk should be located 2-feet within the new right-of-way. If the
sidewalk should meander outside of the right-of-way, the applicant should provide the District with an
easement.
3. Roadway Offsets
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).
8
District policy 7204.11.8, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 150-feet from a
residential collector roadway (measured centerline to centerline).
District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 150-feet from a
collector roadway (measured centerline to centerline).
District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 300-feet from an
arterial roadway (measured centerline to centerline).
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.
The applicant is proposing to construct a main entrance, North Havasu Canyon Way, to intersect with
McMillan Road approximately 820-feet east of the west property line. This roadway location meets
District policy and should be approved with this application.
The applicant is proposing to construct a main entrance, North Havasu Falls Drive, to intersect with
Locust Grove Road approximately 400-feet south of the north property line. This roadway location
meets District policy and should be approved with this application.
All of the internal roadways meet District policy in regard to minimum offsets and should be approved
with this application.
4. Driveways
District policy 72-F5, requires driveways located on collector or arterial roadways with a speed limit of
25 to align or offset a minimum of 105-feet from any existing or proposed driveway.
District policy 72-F5, requires driveways located on collector or arterial roadways with a speed limit of
30 to align or offset a minimum of 125-feet from any existing or proposed driveway.
District policy 7207.9.3 restricts commercial driveways with daily traffic volumes over 1,000 vehicles
to a maximum width of 35-feet. Most commercial driveways will be constructed as curb-cut type
facilities if located on local streets. Curb return type driveways with 15-foot radii will be required for
driveways accessing collector and arterial roadways.
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.
The applicant is proposing to construct three driveways on North Havasu Canyon Way to access the
school site.
The first driveway is proposed to be 30-feet in width and is proposed to intersect North Havasu
Canyon Way in alignment with Lava Falls Street. This driveway meets District policy and should be
approved with this application.
The second driveway is proposed to be 30-feet in width and is proposed to intersect North Havasu
Canyon Way in alignment with Casa Grande Street. This driveway meets District policy and should
be approved with this application.
9
The third driveway is proposed to be 30-feet in width and is proposed to intersect North Havasu
Canyon Way in alignment with Kaibab Trail Drive. This driveway meets District policy and should be
approved with this application.
5. Roadway Street Sections
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. The proposed
density of development that will utilize the internal local residential streets is anticipated to generate
less than 1,000 vehicle trips per day.
District policy 72-F1A allows residential collector roadways with 29-foot street sections with vertical
curb, gutter and 5-foot concrete sidewalk within 50-feet of right-of-way with parking prohibited on both
sides of the roadway.
District policy 7204.4.7 states that sidewalks on local residential roadways shall be a minimum of 5-
feet wide when placed next to the back-of--curb. Sidewalks 4-feet wide (minimum) may be allowed
when separated from the curb by a planting strip at least 5-feet in width. Some local jurisdictions may
require wider sidewalks.
The applicant is proposing to construct the internal residential roadways as 33-foot street sections
with curb, gutter and 4-foot detached concrete sidewalk with parking on both sides within 50-feet of
right-of--way. The applicant should submit a letter from the appropriate fire district approving the
alternative street section. If the appropriate fire district reviews and approves the alternative street
section, the applicant should construct the internal roadways as 33-foot street sections with curb,
gutter, 4-foot concrete sidewalk and parking on both sides within 50-feet of right-of-way.
The applicant is proposing to construct North Havasu Canyon Way from McMillan Road to Casa
Grande Street and East Havasu Falls Drive from Locust Grove to Hulapai Avenue residential
collectors. The applicant has proposed to construct these roadways as 29-foot street sections with
curb, gutter and 4-foot detached concrete sidewalk. This street section meets District policy and
should be approved with this application.
6. Stub Streets
District policy 7203.5.1 and 7205.5 requires stub streets to provide intra-neighborhood circulation and
to provide access to adjoining parcels. District policy also requires temporary turnarounds with a
temporary easement provided to the District at the end of stub streets that serve more than one lot, or
are greater than 150-feet in length with a sign at the terminus of the roadway stating that, "THIS
ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE".
The applicant is proposing to extend two existing stub streets and construct eleven new stub streets
to the surrounding properties.
The applicant is proposing to extend North Hermit Avenue at the south property line approximately
410-feet east of the west properly line. This stub street location was originally approved with the
Heritage Commons Subdivision. Staff is supportive of the extension of this roadway.
The applicant is proposing to extend North Havasupai Avenue at the south property line
approximately 120-feet east of the west property line. This stub street location was originally
10
approved with the Heritage Commons Subdivision. Staff is supportive of the extension of this
roadway.
The applicant is proposing to construct a stub street, North Shangri-La Street, to extend to the south
property line approximately 635-feet east of the west property line. Due to the fact that this stub
street is less than one lot and less than 150-feet in depth, the applicant will not be required to
construct a temporary turnaround. The applicant should install a sign at the terminus of the roadway
stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE".
The applicant is proposing to construct a stub street, Casa Grande Street, to extend to the west
property line approximately 440-feet north of the south property line. Due to the fact that this stub
street is less than one lot and less than 150-feet in depth, the applicant will not be required to
construct a temporary turnaround. The applicant should install a sign at the terminus of the roadway
stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE".
The applicant is proposing to construct a stub street, Havasu Falls Drive, to extend to the west
property line approximately 730-feet north of the south property line. Due to the fact that this stub
street is less than one lot and less than 150-feet in depth, the applicant will not be required to
construct a temporary turnaround. The applicant should install a sign at the terminus of the roadway
stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE".
The applicant is proposing to construct a stub street, Nankoweap Street, to extend to the west
property line approximately 180-feet south of McMillan Road. Due to the fact that this stub street is
less than one lot and less than 150-feet in depth, the applicant will not be required to construct a
temporary turnaround. The applicant should install a sign at the terminus of the roadway stating that,
"THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE".
The applicant is proposing to construct a stub street, North Mooney Falls Way, to extend to the north
property line approximately1,550-feet west of Locust Grove Road. Due to the fact that this stub street

"ACHD has approved the proposed preliminary plat in accordance with the Site Specific
Requirements. At the time of the approval, the Commission found that the current roadways are
adequate to accommodate the projected traffic from this development. ACRD is concerned that the
cumulative effect of the number of trips generated from this development in combination with several
other new development applications will result in a substantial increase in future traffic on the existing
infrastructure. ACHD anticipates that future development applications in this related area may require
system improvements. In addition, ACHD anticipates that there will be significant delay in making
any such system improvements because there is a lack of known funding sources."

A. Findings of Fact
Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate 3,812 additional vehicle trips per day (0
existing) based on the submitted traffic study.
2. Impact Fees: The impact fee rate from the fee tables for these uses are:
The impact fee for a residence below 1,500-square feet is $1,055.00 per unit.
The impact fee for a residence above 1,500-square feet is $1,294.00 per unit.
These rates are based on the impact fee ordinance in effect at this time.
3. Traffic Impact Study: A traffic impact study was required with this application. The traffic impact
study was completed by Washington Group International and the following is a summary of the
findings:
• The proposed development is projected to generate an average daily traffic (ADT) of 3,812
vehicles per day (vpd), of which 252 vpd are trips to the elementary school. These school trips do
not leave the proposed subdivision and thus do not enter the public roadway system. The project
generates 501 vehicles per hour (vph) in the peak hour, of which 67 vph are trips from the
elementary school to the proposed subdivision.
The intersection of Locust Grove Road and Ustick Road is asignal-controlled intersection. The
overall intersection is currently operating at a LOS C with a delay of 22 seconds. In the design
year 2012, the intersection will operate at LOS D with an average delay of 42 seconds without the
traffic generated by Havasu Creek. At build-out of the Havasu Creek site, the intersection is
projected to operate at a LOS D with a delay of 42 seconds. The Havasu Creek traffic does not
negatively impact the intersection.
• The intersection of Locust Grove Road and McMillan Road is an all-way stop-controlled
intersection. The overall intersection is currently operating at a LOS B with a delay of 13
seconds. In the design year 2012, the intersection will operate at LOS F with an average delay of
115 seconds without the traffic generated by Havasu Creek. At build-out of the Havasu Creek
site, the intersection is projected to operate at a LOS F with a delay of 167 seconds.
• The intersection of Meridian Road and McMillan Road is an all-way stop-controlled intersection.
The overall intersection is currently operating at a LOS B with a delay of 11 seconds. In the
design year 2012, the intersection will operate at LOS F with an average delay of 79 seconds
without the traffic generated by Havasu Creek. At build-out of the Havasu Creek site, the
intersection is projected to operate at a LOS F with a delay of 120 seconds.
The intersection of Meridian Road and Ustick Road is an all-way stop-controlled intersection. The
overall intersection is currently operating at a LOS B with a delay of 14 seconds. In the design
year 2012, the intersection will operate at LOS F with an average delay of 500 seconds without
the traffic generated by Havasu Creek. At build-out of the Havasu Creek site, the intersection is
projected to operate at a LOS F with a delay of 531 seconds.
• The North and East access intersections on McMillan Road and Locust Grove Road will operate
at acceptable conditions at Havasu Creek build out. Heritage Commons is a proposed
subdivision adjacent to the project site on the south. Access to Locust Grove Road from the
project site is available through the Heritage Commons subdivision. Some trips will use this
access. The Heritage Commons access on Locust Grove Road will operate at acceptable
conditions at Havasu Creek build-out.
Other Vicinity Developments:
Traffic from Bayless, Heritage Commons, and Bridgetower subdivisions are included in the background
traffic.
Intersection Analysis:
Roadway Capacity:
McMillan Road, Locust Grove Road, Ustick Road, and Meridian Road have adequate existing capacity to
handle the Havasu Creek traffic in the design year at an acceptable LOS. However, all of the proceeding
roads will not have adequate capacity to handle the build out of the 12-square mile North Meridian
Planning Area at 2020.

Site Access and Circulation:
McMillan Rd. requires left-turn and right turn deceleration lanes for traffic turning into the site at the north
approach. Traffic projections on the north approach that extends into the site exceed 1,000 vpd. This
road should be designed based on Collector Standards.
Locust Grove Rd. requires left-turn and right-turn deceleration lanes for traffic turning into the site at the
east approach. Traffic projections on the east approach exceed 1,000 vpd, but traffic quickly dissipates
after entering the approach and falls below 1,000 vpd before reaching residences fronting local streets.
Locust Grove Rd. requires left-turn and right-turn deceleration lanes for traffic turning into the site at the
Heritage approach. Traffic projections on the Heritage Approach exceed 1,000 vpd. The Heritage
Commons Traffic Impact Study recommends that this approach be designed based on Collector
Standards.
The following are the principal recommendations of the study:
1. The site's North access intersection will be a 2-way stop-controlled intersection. The left-turn
movement from site access is projected to operate at a LOS C with a delay of 17 seconds at the build
out year. A left-turn bay on McMillan Road is warranted with this development. Aright-turn bay on
McMillan Road far entrance to the development is warranted.
2. The site's East access intersection will be a 2-way stop-controlled intersection. The left-turn
movement from site access is projected to operate at a LOS B with a delay of 14 seconds at the build
out year. A left-turn bay on Locust Grove Road is warranted with this development. Aright-turn bay
on Locust Grove Road for entrance to the development is warranted.
4
3. The Heritage Commons access intersection will be utilized by some of the trips from the project site
and will be a 2-way stop-controlled intersection. The left-turn movement is projected to operate at a
LOS B with a delay of 14 seconds at the build-out year. A left-turn bay on Locust Grove Road is
warranted. Aright-turn bay on Locust Grove Road for entrance to the development is warranted.
4. The intersection of McMillan/Locust Grove, McMillan/Meridian, and Ustick/Meridian all require
widening on all four approaches to improve operations. The recommendations of the North Meridian
Area Traffic Study should be consulted in order to provide adequate capacity at these intersections
for the future build-out of the North Meridian Planning Area.
5. The intersection of McMillan/Locust Grove, McMillan/Meridian, and Ustick/Meridian all comply with
the peak hour signal warrant. A detailed analysis will be needed when the projected traffic volumes
are reached before installing a signal at these locations.
6. All of the internal streets with front-on housing have daily traffic projections lower than 1,000 vpd.
The preliminary site layout meets ACHD's access requirements.
In addition to the submitted traffic impact study for this site, staff has included the executive summary of
Washington Group International's regional (North Meridian) traffic impact study.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF THE NORTH MERIDIAN TRAFFIC STUDY
The proposed 12-square mile study area between US 20126 and Ustick Road and between
McDermott Road and Eagle Road (Sections 25-28, 33-36 of T4N R1 W and sections 29-32 of T4N
R1 E), is selected Ada County Highway District (ACRD) for anticipated development build out. The
following are the principal findings and recommendations of the study:
• By the year 2020 the study area is anticipated to develop an additional 17,599 dwelling units,
2,744,000 sq. ft of office buildings, 1,929,000 sq.ft. of retail buildings, 12 elementary schools, 2
senior high schools, 2 junior high schools, 38,260 sq. ft of church buildings, and approximately 60
acres of park.
• The build out scenario of the study area is projected to generate an average daily traffic (ADT) of
276,764 vehicles per day (vpd), of which the peak hour traffic (PHT) will be 28,206 vehicles per
hour (vph). Out of these trips approximately 10% of the trips remain internal within each section,
and 6% of the trips are pass-by trips.
• The distribution of the traffic from all of the study area sections indicate that approximately 30%
traffic directed towards south, 27% of the traffic directed towards east, 21% of the traffic directed
towards west and north. The remaining 22% of the traffic is distrihuted within the study area.
• At build out, traffic on the arterials is expected to significantly increase (see Table 4).
• All of the arterial intersections in the study area are currently operating at acceptable level of
service of "C" or better.
• By the year 2020, the majority of study intersections are projected to meet the peak hour traffic
signal warrant.
• A proportionate share of the impacts of the individual sections at each of the study area arterial
intersections is summarized in Table 6.
• Several mid-mile intersections may warrant traffic signals due to the heavy left turn traffic volume.
• Chinden Boulevard is forecasted with 5-lane section in the study area. Right turns lanes may be
required at some access and arterial intersections.
• McMillan Road is forecasted with a 5-lane section east of Black Cat. McMillan Road is forecasted
with a 3-lane section west of Black Cat. At arterial intersections and at access intersections right
turns lanes may be necessary.
5
• Ustick Road is forecasted with a 5-lane section east of Black Cat. Ustick Road is forecasted with a
3-lane section west of Black Cat. At arterial intersections and at access intersections right turns
lanes may be necessary.
• Linder Road forecasted with a 5-lane section in the study area. At arterial intersections and at

Staff recognizes that the amount of right-of-way dedicated with these improvements is overwhelming,
and that ACHD may not have the funds to purchase such a large amount of right-of-way. In this
situation it is likely that impact fee offset agreements will be utilized to offset the amount of money that
ACHD will pay out-of-pocket to acquire the right-of-way.

10. Other Development in Area
Staff has recently been receiving large amounts of inquiries from developers in the northwest
Meridian area. Many developers are prepared to plat entire section-miles, and have site plans
developed. The preliminary plans generally include upwards of 700 to 900 residential lots, schools,
.office/commercial lots, and city and neighborhood parks.
Some of the large developments within the North Meridian Planning area include: Bridgetower
Subdivision, Keltic Heights Subdivision, Baldwin Park Subdivision and Utility Subdivision.
• On October 17, 2001, the Commission approved a rezone application and a sketch plat for Keltic
Heights Subdivision. Keltic Heights Subdivision is proposed to be 1,522 lots. The applicant
proposed 929 residential lots, 8 commercial lots and a 585-unit multi-family subdivision on
452.16-acres.
• On October 17, 2001 the Commission approved a rezone and preliminary plat application for an
8-lot industrial subdivision on 34.6-acres (Utility Subdivision).
• On November 7, 2001 the Commission approved rezone and annexation application for 370.55
acres. The Commission also approved a preliminary plat for 336 lots on 175.91 acres and
conditional use approval for a total of 692 single-family residences, 59 senior housing units, 17
office lots, 10 commercial lots, and an elementary school (Bridgetower Subdivision).
• On February 6, 2002, the Commission approved a preliminary plat application fora 272-lot
residential subdivision on 78-acres (Baldwin Park).
• On April 17, 2002, the Commission approved a preliminary plat application fora 285-lot

Due to the large number of inquiries and submitted development applications in this area, staff and
the development community realized that the potential for development in this area is extreme and
the traffic impact studies that each individual developer was submitting did not include the major
surrounding developments that are `in the works". If staff examines each development individually,
the roadway system appears adequate, but when staff begins to add in a second or third large-scale
development, the traffic capacities of these roadways (Ustick Road, McMillan Road, Ten Mile Road,
Linder Road) reach their 2020 planning thresholds.
Based on development patterns in this area, and the concern surrounding the abutting roadways,
ACHD hired Washington Group to conduct a traffic impact study of the northwestern Meridian area
from Ustick Road to Chinden Boulevard, and from Meridian Road to one-half mile west of Black Cat
Road.
One option for funding improving these roadways is the implementation of an extra-ordinary impact
fee overlay district. Havasu Creek Subdivision may also be subject to any extraordinary fees that
the District may impose.
The second phase of the study, the economic phase has been initiated and will focus on the cost of
the improvements deemed necessary by the study, including right-of-way costs. The outcome of the
economic study has provided the District with an estimate of the costs to improve the roadways in the
North Meridian Planning Area to handle the traffic generated by the proposed developments in the
area. This final estimated cost is not yet available, as staff is still reviewing street section options that
may reduce the right-of-way costs.
B. Findings for Consideration
Right-of•Way
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.
As a part of the North Meridian Traffic Plan, it was noted that a 3-lane roadway with curb, gutter, 5-
foot concrete detached sidewalks and bike lanes within 70-feet of right-of-way would be adequate to
accommodate the projected traffic volumes on McMillan Road and Locust Grove Road. Due to the
fact that the North Meridian Traffic Plan recoi'nmended a 70-foot right-of-way on Locust Grove Road
and the Commission has supported the recommendations in the past, staff is recommending that the
applicant dedicate 70-feet of right-of-way (35-feet from centerline) as opposed to 96-feet of right-of-
way (48-feet from centerline).
2. Sidewalk
District policy requires 5-foot wide (minimum) concrete sidewalk on all arterial roadways.
The applicant should construct 5-foot concrete sidewalk abutting the site on McMillan Road and
North Locust Grove Road. The sidewalk should be located 2-feet within the new right-of-way. If the
sidewalk should meander outside of the right-of-way, the applicant should provide the District with an
easement.
3. Roadway Offsets
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).
8
District policy 7204.11.6, requires focal roadways to align or offset a minimum of 150-feet from a
residential collector roadway (measured centerline to centerline).
District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 150-feet from a
collector roadway (measured centerline to centerline).
District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 300-feet from an
arterial roadway (measured centerline to centerline}.
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.
The applicant is proposing to construct a main entrance, North Havasu Canyon Way, to intersect with
McMillan Road approximately 820-feet east of the west property line. This roadway location meets
District policy and should be approved with this application.

with this application.
4. Driveways
District policy 72-F5, requires driveways located on collector or arterial roadways with a speed limit of
25 to align or offset a minimum of 105-feet from any existing or proposed driveway.
District policy 72-F5, requires driveways located on collector or arterial roadways with a speed limit of
30 to align or offset a minimum of 125-feet from any existing or proposed driveway.
District policy 72D7.9.3 restricts commercial driveways with daily traffic volumes over 1,000 vehicles
to a maximum width of 35-feet. Most commercial driveways will be constructed as curb-cut type
facilities if located on local streets. Curb return type driveways with 15-foot radii will be required for
driveways accessing collector and arterial roadways.
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.
The applicant is proposing to construct three driveways on North Havasu Canyon Way to access the
school site.
The first driveway is proposed to be 30-feet in width and is proposed to intersect North Havasu
Canyon Way in alignment with Lava Falls Street. This driveway meets District policy and should be
approved with this application.
The second driveway is proposed to be 30-feet in width and is proposed to intersect North Havasu
Canyon Way in alignment with Casa Grande Street. This driveway meets District policy and should
be approved with this application.
The third driveway is proposed to be 30-feet in width and is proposed to intersect North Havasu
Canyon Way in alignment with Kaibab Trail Drive. This driveway meets District policy and should be
approved with this application.
5. Roadway Street Sections
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. The proposed
density of development that will utilize the internal local residential streets is anticipated to generate
less than 1,000 vehicle trips per day.
District policy 72-F1A allows residential collector roadways with 29-foot street sections with vertical
curb, gutter and 5-foot concrete sidewalk within 50-feet of right-of-way with parking prohibited on both
sides of the roadway.
District policy 7204.4.7 stales that sidewalks on local residential roadways shall be a minimum of 5-
feetwide when placed next to the back-of-curb. Sidewalks 4-feet wide (minimum) may be allowed
when separated from the curb by a planting strip at least 5-feet in width. Some local jurisdictions may
require wider sidewalks.
The applicant is proposing to construct the internal residential roadways as 33-foot street sections
with curb, gutter and 4-foot detached concrete sidewalk with parking on both sides within 50-feet of
right-of-way. The applicant should submit a letter from the appropriate fire district approving the
alternative street section. If the appropriate fire district reviews and approves the alternative street
section, the applicant should construct the internal roadways as 33-foot street sections with curb,
gutter, 4-foot concrete sidewalk and parking on both sides within 50-feet of right-of-way.
The applicant is proposing to construct North Havasu Canyon Way from McMillan Road to Casa

Request for Reconsideration of Commission Action
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 fora 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.
17
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 ACRD
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.
