Traffic Impact Study- Summary and Findings 1. Traffic Impact Study For developments located within the City of Meridian's Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan (TMISAP)ACHD defers the determination as to whether a proposed development is consistent with the TMISAP to the City of Meridian. If a proposed development is consistent with the plan, then a traffic impact study is generally not required. City of Meridian staff did not confirm that the proposed development was consistent with the TMISP, nor did they make a formal request for a traffic impact study. In our review of the application materials provided by the applicant it appears that the land uses proposed in the District at Ten Mile project are consistent with those identified in the TMISAP; therefore, a traffic impact study was not required. 2. Analysis for Intersections The applicant will be required to provide an intersection analysis for 3 intersections: the roundabout proposed to be constructed on Grand Mogul/Villaggio Way located approximately 800-feet west of Ten Mile; the Franklin Road/Umbria Hills intersection; and the Grand Mogul/Villaggio Way intersection. This was discussed with the applicant during the pre-application phase of the project. The analysis for these intersections will need to be completed and accepted prior to plan approval for the first phase of this development and/or the issuance of an ACHD impact fee assessment. a) Roundabout The preliminary plat shows the construction of a single lane roundabout at the Grand Mogul/Villaggio Way/private road intersection located approximately 800-feet west of Ten Mile Road. While staff is generally supportive of the use of roundabouts the applicant should be required to submit a roundabout analysis to demonstrate that the proposed roundabout will function adequately meeting ACHD's Level of Service standards and to ensure that the appropriate lane configuration is constructed. The roundabout analysis should be submitted prior to plan submittal for the first phase of the development or the issuance of an ACHD impact assessment for a building permit if the City of Meridian is going to allow the issuance of building permits ahead of the final plat. Based on the analysis the roundabout design may need to be redesigned to accommodate the anticipated traffic. ACHD will determine the ultimate configuration of the roundabout based on the intersection analysis. The roundabout should be designed and constructed consistent with section 5108 — Roundabout and 5188 — Roundabout Design Guide of ACHD's policy manual. b) Umbria Hills/Franklin Intersection Umbria Hills, an existing collector roadway that stubs to the site's north property line, is proposed to be extended into and through the site to intersect Grand Mogul/Villaggio Way. This will provide access to Franklin Road. The existing portion of Umbria Hills was constructed as a collector roadway as part of Baraya Subdivision and is anticipated to be signalized at Franklin Road. Because of this, the applicant should be required to submit a signal warrant analysis for the Umbria Hills/Franklin Road intersection prior to plan submittal for the first phase of the project or issuance of an ACHD impact fee for a building permit if the City of Meridian is going to allow the issuance of building permits prior to final platting. 9 District at Ten Mile / MPP24-0006 / H-2023-0071 If the signal is warranted, then the applicant should be required to enter into a signal agreement with ACHD to install a 2 X 3 X 5 signal at the Umbria Hills/Franklin Road intersection. The applicant will be responsible for all costs associated with the installation of the signal including design, construction, and hardware. In order to ensure the intersection will be improved when warranted, the following items must be in place prior to plan acceptance for the construction of Umbria Hills Way onto Grand Mogul/Villaggio Way. • Signal Agreement; • Full design and approved plants for the intersection. If the signal is not warranted with the first phase of the development,then the analysis should include phasing with trip thresholds that identify when the signal would be warranted at the intersection. c) Grand Mogul/Villaggio Way/Black Cat Intersection The applicant has indicated that they are coordinating with other area developers to construct the extension of Grand Mogul/Villaggio Way from Ten Mile Road to Black Cat Road. This would provide alternative access to the site via Black Cat Road which extends over 1-84. A traffic impact study prepared for Meridian Commerce Park (Black Cat Industrial), located on the west side of Black Cat Road, indicated that the intersection of Grand Mogul/Villaggio Way/Black Cat Road would warrant a signal in the future. Because of this, the applicant should be required to submit a signal warrant analysis for the Vanguard-Villaggio Way/Black Cat Road intersection prior to plan submittal for the phase of the project or issuance of an ACHD impact fee for a building permit if the City of Meridian is going to allow the issuance of building permits prior to final platting. If the signal is warranted, then the applicant should be required to enter into a signal agreement with ACHD to install a 5 X 5 signal at the Vanguard-Villago Way/Black Cat Road intersection. The applicant will be responsible for all costs associated with the installation of the signal including design, construction, and hardware. In order to ensure the intersection will be improved when warranted, the following items must be in place prior to plans acceptance for the construction of the Grand Mogul/Villaggio Way connection to Black Cat Road. • Signal Agreement; • Full design and approved plans for the intersection. If the signal is not warranted with the first phase of the development,then the analysis should include phasing with trip thresholds that identify when the signal would be warranted at the intersection. 10 District at Ten Mile / MPP24-0006 / H-2023-0071 E. Findings for Consideration 1. Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan The transportation element of the TMISAP is to guide transportation decisions in the Ten Mile Interchange Area. It was developed concurrently with the Land Use and Design Elements and has been designed to preserve the integrity of the arterial road system and the proposed Ten Mile interchange; provide for the use of public transit; enhance pedestrian and bicycle mobility and accessibility; and create transportation infrastructure and promote land use patterns that encourage the sustainable use of resources and reduces demands on natural resources. The TMISAP recommends the construction of 3 collector roads within the site, as shown below, as well as the construction of Vanguard Way west of Ten Mile Road. The applicant has proposed to construct the 3 collectors within the site and construct Vanguard Way from Ten Mile Road through the site stubbing to the west. Although the alignment is configured differently than what is shown in the TMISAP and MSM, the applicant's proposal meets the intent for connectivity to adjacent properties consistent with the TMISAP and MSM. 2. Right-of-Way Vacation/Exchange There is an existing portion of unopened unmaintained right-of-way that extends south from the future Grand Mogul/Villaggio Way road. This right-of-way was acquired by ITD to provide local access as part of ITD's Ten Mile Interchange project. The right-of-way has since been transferred to ACHD. See the orange area below. , 4 Ind c a' r. r a i i• 1 •r i R The applicant has proposed to incorporate this right-of-way into their site as parking lots and buildings, necessitating the need to vacate the right-of-way. Prior to plan approval for the first phase of the development or issuance of an impact fee assessment for a building permit the applicant should be required to complete the vacation of the right-of-way or complete a vacation/exchange of the right-of-way. The vacation or vacation/exchange is a separate process with its own application, public hearing, and approval. A link to the vacation application can be found below. 11 District at Ten Mile / MPP24-0006 / H-2023-0071 https://www.achdidaho.org/home/showpublisheddocument/384/638499975082670000 3. Ten Mile Road/Grand Mogul/Villaggio Way Intersection As part of ACHD's action on Vanguard Village/Meridian 118 subdivision located directly west of the site that applicant was required to widen and modify the existing signalized intersection at Ten Mile Road/Vanguard Way to accommodate the west leg of the intersection. The intersection improvements include widening the west leg of the intersection with 2 receiving lanes, 2 eastbound left-turn lanes, 1 eastbound through/right-turn lane and one dedicated eastbound right-turn lane. This applicant is also required to adjust the striping on the east leg to reflect this configuration and make any necessary modifications to the existing signal. ACHD is in the process of reviewing the plans for this intersection. If the applicant of Vanguard Village/Meridian 118 subdivision has not completed the plan approval process or entered into a signal agreement to widen and modify the existing intersection prior to plan approval for the first phase of the development and/or the issuance of an ACHD impact fee assessment, then the applicant should be required to obtain plan approval and enter into a signal agreement with ACHD for the intersection modifications. The signal agreement should include requirements that the intersection is designed with 2 receiving lanes, 2 eastbound left-turn lanes, 1 eastbound through/right-turn lane and one dedicated eastbound right-turn lane on the east and west legs with the configuration or the north and south legs remaining the same; that the applicant is responsible for all costs associated with the design, and installation of the signal, hardware, and that improvements are not eligible for reimbursement by ACHD. In order to ensure the intersection will be improved when warranted, the following items must be in place prior to plans acceptance for the construction of Grand Mogul/Villaggio Way onto Ten Mile Road: • Signal Agreement; • Full design and approved plans for the intersection. 4. Ten Mile Road a. Existing Conditions: Ten Mile Road is improved with 5-travel lanes, vertical curb, gutter, and 7-foot wide sidewalk abutting the site from Navigator Drive to Vanguard Way. Ten Mile Road is improved with extruded curb, gutter, and a 7-foot wide asphalt pathway from Vanguard Way to the site's north property line. There is 108-265 feet of right-of-way for Ten Mile Road (52-127 feet from centerline). b. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is not proposing any improvements to Ten Mile Road abutting the site. c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: Consistent with ACHD's Pedestrian Facility policy, the applicant should be required to construct a minimum of an 8-foot wide planter strip and a 10- foot wide multi-use pathway on Ten Mile Road between Villaggio Way and Cobalt Drive abutting the site tying into existing improvements on either side. 5. Grand Mogul/Villaggio Way a. Existing Conditions: There is currently 45 to 115-feet of unopened right-of-way for Grand Moguel/Villaggio Way at Ten Mile Road and extends to the site's west property line. Grand Mogul /Villaggio Way (Vanguard Way) west of Ten Mile Road internal to the site has not yet been constructed. A development agreement between ITD and ACHD was executed on June 6, 2012, with the dedication of the right-of-way west of Ten Mile Road for Grand Mogul/Villaggio Way. ITD provided ACHD $458,500 to be used to reimburse the first developer for the future 12 District at Ten Mile / MPP24-0006 / H-2023-0071 improvements within the right-of-way to construct Grand Mogul /Villaggio Way with 30-feet of pavement, curb, gutter and sidewalk on one side and gravel shoulder on the other side with associated infrastructure as well as the construction of a 300 linear foot portion of a local road intersecting Vanguard Way approximately 866-feet west Ten Mile Road. b. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct Villagio Way with three 11-foot wide travel lanes, vertical curb, gutter, an 8-foot wide bioswale, and a 10-foot wide multi-use pathway as either a 37-foot wide street section within 51-feet of right-of-way or a 54-foot wide street section with on-street parking within 60-feet of right-of-way. c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District policy and should be approved, as proposed. The use of a bioswale is an approved BMP and the bioswales should be designed and constructed meeting the standards in section 8000 of ACHD's policy manual. The developer of the Vanguard Village/Meridian 118 development is working through the plan approval process for Grand Mogul/Villaggio Way, and it is anticipated that these plans will be approved soon. However, if the plans are not approved, then this applicant should be required to construct Grand Mogul/Villaggio Way within the site, stubbing to the west as a 3-lane collector roadway with vertical curb, gutter, 8-foot wide planter strip, and a 10-foot wide multi-use pathway on both sides of the road. Consistent with ACHD's prior action on this segment of roadway, the applicant should be required to submit a right turn lane analysis for all driveways proposed onto Grand Mogul/Villaggio Way. If the right turn lanes are warranted, then the dedicated right turn lanes should be incorporated into the design of the roadway. 6. Cobalt Drive a. Existing Conditions: Cobalt Drive is improved with 3-travel lanes, vertical curb, gutter, an 8- foot wide planter strip, and 7-foot wide sidewalk abutting the site. There is 74-82 feet of right- of-way for Cobalt Drive (37-47-feet from centerline). Cobalt Drive currently terminates in a cul- de-sac turnaround located approximately 1,330-feet west of Ten Mile Road. b. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to extend Cobalt Drive into the site to intersect Umbria Hills Avenue as a 52-foot wide street section within 66-feet of right-of-way with three 11-foot wide travel lanes, on-street parking on both sides, vertical curb, gutter, an 8-foot wide planter strip, and a 6-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk on either side. c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal does not meet District policy, as bike lanes are not proposed and are not consistent with the City of Meridian's TMISAP and should not be approved, as proposed. The applicant should be required to extend Cobalt Drive into the site and construct the roadway with 3-travel lanes, 5-foot wide on-street bike lanes, vertical curb, gutter (47-foot wide street section), an 8-foot wide planter strip, and a minimum 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk abutting the site. This would match the existing improvements on Cobalt Drive located directly east of the site. No parking would be allowed on this street section. The applicant would be required to coordinate a signage program for the "NO PARKING" signs with District Development Review staff. As an alternative to the on-street bike lanes and if required, by the City of Meridian then in lieu of constructing on-street bike lanes, 10-foot wide multi-use pathways on both sides of the roadway may be constructed. Under this scenario, on-street parking can be accommodated. 13 District at Ten Mile / MPP24-0006 / H-2023-0071 7. Umbria Hills Avenue a. Existing Conditions: Umbria Hills Avenue stubs to the site's north property line and is improved with 2-travel lanes, vertical curb, gutter, a 10-foot wide planter strip, and 5-foot wide sidewalk abutting the site. There is 70-feet of right-of-way for Umbria Hills Avenue. b. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to extend Umbria Hills Avenue into the site and construct the roadway as a 52-foot wide street section within 66-feet of right-of-way with three 11-foot wide travel lanes, on-street parking on both sides of the roadway, vertical curb, gutter, an 8-foot wide bioswale, and a 10-foot wide multi-use pathway. c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District policy and should be approved, as proposed. The applicant should be required to provide a permanent right-of-way easement for the detached multi-use pathways located outside of the dedicated right-of-way. 8. Grand Mogul/Villaggio Way/Umbria Hills Intersection a. Staff comments/Recommendations: Given the mix of uses (residential, office, commercial, entertainment, industrial) proposed on the north and south sides of Grand Mogul/Villaggio Way and on Umbria Hills and because this is a collector street to collector street intersection, staff recommends that the applicant install a Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (PHB) on Grand Mogul/Villaggio Way at Umbria Hills.

The current version of PROWAG will determine the applicable accessibility requirements for alterations and elements added to existing streets. ACHD staff is responsible for identifying the minor improvements that would be proportionate to the size and complexity of the development. 3. Livable Street Performance Measures District policy 7203.8 states that ACHD has adopted performance measures (level of stress) for evaluating the experience of bicyclists and pedestrians. ACHD seeks to create a transportation network that serves all ages and abilities. Bike and pedestrian facilities built through development should achieve a bike and pedestrian level of traffic stress 1 or 2, with no new bike lane below a minimum of 5-feet. 4. Ten Mile Road Arterial Roadway Policy: District Policy 7205.2.1 states that the developer is responsible for improving all street frontages adjacent to the site regardless of whether or not access is taken to all of the adjacent streets. Improvements shall include transitional segments in accordance with the current version of PROWAG. Master Street Map and Typology Policy: District Policy 7205.5 states that the design of improvements for arterials shall be in accordance with District standards, including the Master Street Map, Livable Streets Design Guide, and the most current ACHD Livable Streets Performance Measures Plan as adopted by the ACHD Commission. The developer or engineer should contact the District before starting any design. Street Section and Right-of-Way Width Policy: District Policies 7205.2.1 & 7205.5.2 state The standard 5-lane street section shall be 59-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb). This width typically accommodates two travel lanes in each direction, a continuous center left-turn lane or landscaped median with intermittent turn lanes, and curbs and gutters. A 5-lane road shall also include a minimum 10-foot wide multi-use path on both sides with an 8-foot wide buffer from back-of-curb. Other bike facility treatments as defined in the ACHD Bike Master Plan may be approved at the discretion of the ACHD Development Review Supervisor. If an interim on-street bike lane is required in order to connect to existing facilities, the street section shall be 75-feet to allow for a 5-foot wide bike lane and 3-foot wide painted buffer. The standard right-of-way width for a 5-lane arterial is 100- feet. Right-of-Way Dedication: District Policy 7205.2 states that The District will provide compensation for additional right-of-way dedicated beyond the existing right-of-way along arterials listed as impact 19 District at Ten Mile / MPP24-0006 / H-2023-0071 fee eligible in the adopted Capital Improvements Plan using available impact fee revenue in the Impact Fee Service Area. No compensation will be provided for right-of-way on an arterial that is not listed as impact fee eligible in the Capital Improvements Plan. The District may acquire additional right-of-way beyond the site-related needs to preserve a corridor for future capacity improvements, as provided in Section 7300. Pedestrian Facilities: District Policy 7205.5.7 requires a concrete sidewalk at least 5-feet wide are required on both sides of all arterial streets. A parkway strip at least 8-feet wide between the back- of-curb and street edge of the sidewalk is required to provide increased safety and protection of pedestrians. Alternatively, on roadways identified for improvement in the Capital Improvement Plan, a minimum 10-foot wide multi-use path may be required. The path shall be placed in accordance with planned buildout in the Master Street Map with a minimum 8-foot wide planter strip as measured to the closest edge of the path. Street trees are encouraged between the pedestrian facility and the roadway when irrigation and maintenance will occur by the adjacent property owner or HOA through an approved license agreement. Consult the District's planter width policy if trees are to be placed within the parkway strip. In some instances, to match existing conditions, a minimum 7-foot wide sidewalk may be constructed next to the back-of-curb. ACHD Development Review staff will be responsible for determining the required facility. Vertical hardscape alternatives to street trees may be considered in the buffer space when street trees are not practicable. Detached sidewalks and multi-use paths are encouraged and should be parallel to the adjacent roadway. Pedestrian facilities will only be allowed to deviate from a straight line parallel to the roadway when authorized by Development Review staff to accommodate site specific conditions (i.e., street trees, utilities, etc.). Appropriate easements shall be provided if public pedestrian facilities are placed out of the right-of- way. The easement shall encompass the entire area between the right-of-way line and 2-feet behind the back edge of the pedestrian facility.

Vertical hardscape alternatives to street trees may be considered in the buffer space when street trees are not practicable. Pedestrian facilities should be parallel to the adjacent roadway. Pedestrian facilities will only be allowed to deviate from a straight line when authorized by Development Review staff to meet site specific conditions (i.e., street trees, utilities, etc.). Appropriate easements shall be provided if public sidewalks or multi-use paths are placed out of the right-of-way. The easement shall encompass the entire area between the right-of-way line and 2-feet behind the back edge of the sidewalk or multi-use path. Sidewalks shall either be located wholly within the public right-of-way or wholly within an easement. Curb ramps or blended transitions shall be provided to connect the pedestrian access route at each pedestrian street crossing in accordance with the current version of PROWAG. Provide detectable warning surface in accordance with the current version of PROWAG. ACHD Master Street Map: ACHD Policy Section 3111.1 requires the Master Street Map (MSM) guide the right-of-way acquisition, collector street requirements, and specific roadway features required through development. A new collector roadway was identified on the MSM with the street typology of Towncenter Collector. The new collector roadway should align with Umbria Hills Avenue stubbing to the site's north property line and continue through the property connecting to Villagio Way. The Towncenter Collector typology as depicted in the Livable Street Design Guide. 8. Navigator Drive Collector Street Policy: District policy 7206.2.1 states that the developer is responsible for improving all collector frontages adjacent to the site or internal to the development as required below, regardless of whether access is taken to all of the adjacent streets. Improvements shall include transitional segments in accordance with ADA and the current version of PROWAG. Master Street Map and Typologies Policy: District policy 7206.5 states that if the collector street is designated with a typology on the Master Street Map, that typology shall be considered for the required street improvements. If there is no typology listed in the Master Street Map, then standard street sections shall serve as the default. ACHD reserves the right to require bicycle and pedestrian facilities above those identified in the Livable Streets Design Guide and Master Street Map to ensure the safest facility possible based on current best practice. Street Section and Right-of-Way Policy: District policy 7206.5.2 states that the standard right- of-way width for collector streets shall typically be 50 to 70-feet, depending on the location and width of the sidewalk or multi-use path and the location and use of the roadway. The right-of-way width may be reduced, with District approval, if the sidewalk or multi-use path is located within an easement; in which case the District will require a minimum right-of-way width that extends 2-feet behind the back-of-curb on each side. The standard street section shall be 47-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb). This width typically accommodates a single travel lane in each direction, a continuous center left-turn lane, and bike lanes. If a multi-use path is determined to be the required treatment, the street section shall be reduced to 37-feet. If it is determined a continuous center left-turn lane is not appropriate and a path is installed, the street section may be reduced to 26-feet. Residential Collector Policy: District policy 7206.5.2 states that the standard street section for a collector in a residential area shall be 36-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb). The District will consider a 33-foot or 29-foot street section with written fire department approval and taking into 24 District at Ten Mile / MPP24-0006 / H-2023-0071 consideration the needs of the adjacent land use, the projected volumes, the need for bicycle lanes, and on-street parking. At the discretion of Traffic Engineering staff, adjustments may be made to the street section, including removal of the continuous center turn lanes or modification to lane widths, where no driveways or intersections are present or to ensure adequate space for pathways and buffers. Pedestrian Facilities: District policy 7206.5.6 requires a concrete sidewalk at least 5-feet wide to be constructed on both sides of all collector streets. A parkway strip at least 8-feet wide between the back-of-curb and street edge of the sidewalk is required to provide increased safety and protection of pedestrians. Consult the District's planter width policy if trees are to be placed within the parkway strip. Sidewalk constructed next to the back-of-curb shall be a minimum of 7-feet wide. Alternatively, on roadways identified as low-stress bikeways in ACHD's Bike Master Plan, a minimum 10-foot wide multi-use path may be required in lieu of sidewalks. ACHD Development Review staff will be responsible for determining the required facility. The path shall be built 8-feet behind the back-of-curb as measured to the closest edge of the path. Street trees are encouraged between the pedestrian facility and the roadway when irrigation and maintenance will occur by the adjacent property owner or HOA through an approved license agreement. Vertical hardscape alternatives to street trees may be considered in the buffer space when street trees are not practicable. Pedestrian facilities should be parallel to the adjacent roadway. Pedestrian facilities will only be allowed to deviate from a straight line when authorized by Development Review staff to meet site specific conditions (i.e., street trees, utilities, etc.). Appropriate easements shall be provided if public sidewalks or multi-use paths are placed out of the right-of-way. The easement shall encompass the entire area between the right-of-way line and 2-feet behind the back edge of the sidewalk or multi-use path. Sidewalks shall either be located wholly within the public right-of-way or wholly within an easement. Curb ramps or blended transitions shall be provided to connect the pedestrian access route at each pedestrian street crossing in accordance with the current version of PROWAG. Provide detectable warning surface in accordance with the current version of PROWAG. ACHD Master Street Map: ACHD Policy Section 3111.1 requires the Master Street Map (MSM) guide the right-of-way acquisition, collector street requirements, and specific roadway features required through development. A new collector roadway was identified on the MSM with the street typology of Towncenter Collector. The new collector roadway should align with Navigator Drive on the east side of Ten Mile Road and continue through the property stubbing to the east. The Towncenter Collector typology as depicted in the Livable Street Design Guide. . 9. Echo Canyon Avenue Local Roadway Policy: District Policy 7207.2.1 states that the developer is responsible for improving all local street frontages adjacent to the site regardless of whether or not access is taken to all of the adjacent streets. Street Section and Right-of-Way Policy: District Policy 7207.5 states that right-of-way widths for all local streets shall generally not be less than 47-feet wide and that the standard street section shall be 33-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb). Standard Urban Local Street-33-foot Street Section and Right-of-way Policy: District Policy 7207.5.2 states that the standard street section shall be 33-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb) for developments with any buildable lot that is less than 1 acre in size. This street section shall include curb, gutter, and minimum 5-foot wide concrete sidewalks on both sides and shall typically be constructed within 47-feet of right-of-way. For the City of Kuna and City of Star: Unless otherwise approved by Kuna or Star, the standard 25 District at Ten Mile / MPP24-0006 / H-2023-0071 street section shall be 36-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb) for developments with any buildable lot that is less than 1 acre in size. This street section shall include curb, gutter, and minimum 5-foot wide concrete sidewalks on both sides and shall typically be constructed within 50-feet of right-of- way. Continuation of Streets Policy: District Policy 7207.2.4 states that an existing street, or a street in an approved preliminary plat, which ends at a boundary of a proposed development shall be extended in that development. The extension shall include provisions for continuation of storm drainage facilities. Benefits of connectivity include but are not limited to the following: • Reduces vehicle miles traveled. • Increases pedestrian and bicycle connectivity. • Increases access for emergency services. • Reduces need for additional access points to the arterial street system. • Promotes the efficient delivery of services including trash, mail and deliveries. • Promotes appropriate intra-neighborhood traffic circulation to schools, parks, neighborhood commercial centers, transit stops, etc. • Promotes orderly development. Sidewalk Policy: District Policy 7207.5.7 states that five-foot wide concrete sidewalk is required on both sides of all local street, except those in rural developments with net densities of one dwelling unit per 1.0 acre or less, or in hillside conditions where there is no direct lot frontage, in which case a sidewalk shall be constructed along one side of the street. Some local jurisdictions may require wider sidewalks. The sidewalk may be placed next to the back-of-curb. Where feasible, a parkway strip at least 8- feet wide between the back-of-curb and the street edge of the sidewalk is recommended to provide increased safety and protection of pedestrians and to allow for the planting of trees in accordance with the District's Tree Planting Policy. If no trees are to be planted in the parkway strip, the applicant may submit a request to the District, with justification, to reduce the width of the parkway strip. Detached sidewalks are encouraged and should be parallel to the adjacent roadway. Meandering sidewalks are discouraged. A permanent right-of-way easement shall be provided if public sidewalks are placed outside of the dedicated right-of-way. The easement shall encompass the entire area between the right-of-way line and 2-feet behind the back edge of the sidewalk. Sidewalks shall either be located wholly within the public right-of-way or wholly within an easement. Cul-de-sac Streets Policy: District policy 7207.5.8 requires cul-de-sacs to be constructed to provide a minimum turning radius of 50-feet; in rural areas or for temporary cul-de-sacs the emergency service providers may require a greater radius. Landscape and parking islands may be constructed in turnarounds if a minimum 29-foot street section is constructed around the island. The pavement width shall be sufficient to allow the turning around of a standard AASHTO SU design vehicle without backing. The developer shall provide written approval from the appropriate fire department for this design element. The District will consider alternatives to the standard cul-de-sac turnaround on a case-by-case basis. This will be based on turning area, drainage, maintenance considerations and the written approval of the agency providing emergency fire service for the area where the development is located. 26 District at Ten Mile / MPP24-0006 / H-2023-0071 10. Roadway Offsets Local Street Intersection Spacing on Principal Arterials: District policy 7205.4.3 states that new local streets should not typically intersect arterials. Local streets should typically intersect collectors. If it is necessary, as determined by ACHD, for a local street to intersect an arterial, the minimum allowable offset shall be 1,320-feet as measured from all other existing roadways as identified in Table 1 b (7205.4.7). Collector Offset Policy: District policy 7205.4.2 states that the optimum spacing for new signalized collector roadways intersecting minor arterials is one half-mile. District policy 7205.4.2 states that the optimum spacing for new signalized collector roadways intersecting principal arterials is one half-mile. District policy 7206.4.2 states that the preferred spacing for new collectors intersecting existing collectors is '/4 mile to allow for adequate signal spacing and alignment. District policy 7206.4.3 states that access is typically prohibited within the influence area of an existing or future roundabout intersection, which is generally considered the area from the intersection to the far end of the splitter islands. District policy 7206.4.5, states that the preferred spacing for a new local street intersecting a collector roadway to align or offset a minimum of 330-feet from any other street (measured centerline to centerline). Local Offset Policy: District policy 7207.4.2, requires local roadways to align or provide a minimum offset of 125-feet from any other street (measured centerline to centerline). District policy 7208.4.2, requires commercial roadways intersecting other local streets (residential, industrial or commercial) to provide a minimum offset of 125-feet from any other roadway or intersection (measured centerline to centerline). 11. Stub Streets Stub Street Policy: District policy 7206.2.4.3 states that stub streets will be required to provide circulation or to provide access to adjoining properties. Stub streets will conform with the requirements described in Section 7206.2.4 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 IS A DESIGNATED COLLECTOR ROADWAY. THIS STREET WILL BE EXTENDED AND WIDENDED IN THE FUTURE." In addition, stub streets must meet the following conditions: • A stub street shall be designed to slope towards the nearest street intersection within the proposed development and drain surface water towards that intersection; unless an alternative storm drain system is approved by the District. • The District may require appropriate covenants guaranteeing that the stub street will remain free of obstructions. Temporary Dead End Streets Policy: 7206.2.4.4 requires that the design and construction for cul-de-sac streets shall apply to temporary dead end streets. The temporary cul-de-sac shall be paved and shall be the dimensional requirements of a standard cul-de-sac. The developer shall grant a temporary turnaround easement to the District for those portions of the cul-de-sac which extend beyond the dedicated street right-of-way. In the instance where a temporary easement extends onto a buildable lot, the entire lot shall be encumbered by the easement and identified on the plat as a non-buildable lot until the street is extended. 12. Driveways 12.1 Ten Mile Road 27 District at Ten Mile / MPP24-0006 / H-2023-0071 Access Points Policy: District Policy 7205.4.1 states that all access points associated with development applications shall be determined in accordance with the policies in this section and Section 7202. Access points shall be reviewed only for a development application that is being considered by the lead land use agency. Approved access points may be relocated and/or restricted in the future if the land use intensifies, changes, or the property redevelops. Access Policy: District policy 7205.4.7 states that direct access to principal arterials is typically prohibited. If a property has frontage on more than one street, access shall be taken from the street having the lesser functional classification. If it is necessary to take access to the higher classified street due to a lack of frontage, the minimum allowable spacing shall be based on Table 1 b under District policy 7205.4.7, unless a waiver for the access point has been approved by the District Commission. Driveways, when approved on a principal arterial shall operate as a right-in/right-out only, and the District will require the construction of a raised median to restrict the left turning movements. Driveway Location Policy: District policy 7205.4.7 requires driveways located on principal arterial roadways to be located a minimum of 355-feet from the nearest intersection for a right-in/right-out only driveway. Full-access driveways are not allowed on principal arterial roadways. Successive Driveways: District policy 7205.4.7 Table 1 b, requires driveways located on principal arterial roadways with a speed limit of 40 MPH to align or offset a minimum of 400-feet from any existing or proposed driveway. Driveway Width Policy: District policy 7205.4.8 restricts high-volume driveways (100 VTD or more)to a maximum width of 36-feet and low-volume driveways (less than 100 VTD)to a maximum width of 30-feet. Curb return type driveways with 30-foot radii will be required for high-volume driveways with 100 VTD or more. Curb return type driveways with 15-foot radii will be required for low-volume driveways with less than 100 VTD. Driveway Paving Policy: Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance problems due to gravel being tracked onto the roadway. In accordance with District policy, 7205.4.8, the applicant should be required to pave the driveway its full width and at least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of the roadway and install pavement tapers in accordance with Table 2 under District Policy 7205.4.8. Temporary Access Policy: District Policy 7202.4.2 identifies a temporary access as that which "is permitted for use until appropriate alternative access becomes available". Temporary access may be granted through a development agreement or similar method, and the developer shall be responsible for providing a financial guarantee for the future closure of the driveway. Cross Access Easements/Shared Access Policy: District Policy 7202.4.1 states that cross access utilizes a single vehicular connection that serves two or more adjoining lots or parcels so that the driver does not need to re-enter the public street system. 12.2 Villaggio Way, Cobalt Drive, Umbria Hills Avenue, & Navigator Drive Access Policy: District Policy 7205.4.1 states that all access points associated with development applications shall be determined in accordance with the policies in this section and Section 7202. Access points shall be reviewed only for a development application that is being considered by the lead land use agency. Approved access points may be relocated and/or restricted in the future if the land use intensifies, changes, or the property redevelops. District Policy 7206.1 states that the primary function of a collector is to intercept traffic from the local street system and carry that traffic to the nearest arterial. A secondary function is to service adjacent property. Access will be limited or controlled. Collectors may also be designated at bicycle and bus routes. 28 District at Ten Mile / MPP24-0006 / H-2023-0071 Driveway Location Policy (Signalized Intersection): District policy 7206.4.3 requires driveways located on collector roadways near a signalized intersection to be located outside the area of influence; OR a minimum of 440-feet from the signalized intersection for a full-access driveway and a minimum of 220-feet from the signalized intersection for a right-in/right-out only driveway. Dimensions shall be measured from the centerline of the intersection to the centerline of the driveway. Driveway Location Policy (Stop Controlled Intersection): District policy 7206.4.4 requires driveways located on collector roadways near a STOP controlled intersection to be located outside of the area of influence; OR a minimum of 150-feet from the intersection, whichever is greater. Dimensions shall be measured from the centerline of the intersection to the centerline of the driveway. Successive Driveways: District policy 7206.4.5 Table 1 requires driveways located on collector roadways with a speed limit of 25 MPH and daily traffic volumes greater than 100 VTD to align or offset a minimum of 245-feet from any existing or proposed driveway. Driveway Width Policy: District policy 7206.4.6 restricts high-volume driveways (100 VTD or more)to a maximum width of 36-feet and low-volume driveways (less than 100 VTD)to a maximum width of 30-feet. Curb return type driveways with 30-foot radii will be required for high-volume driveways with 100 VTD or more. Curb return type driveways with 15-foot radii will be required for low-volume driveways with less than 100 VTD. Driveway Paving Policy: Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance problems due to gravel being tracked onto the roadway. In accordance with District policy, 7206.4.6, the applicant should be required to pave the driveway its full width and at least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of the roadway and install pavement tapers in accordance with Table 2 under District Policy 7206.4.6. Minor Improvements Policy: District Policy 7203.3 states that minor improvements to existing Highways adjacent to a proposed development may be required. These needed transportation facilities are to correct deficiencies or replace deteriorated facilities. Included are sidewalk and/or bike lane construction or replacement (with physical buffers if missing and needed); construction of transitional sidewalk segments; crosswalk construction or replacement; curb and gutter construction or replacement; repair, replacement or expansion of curb extensions; replacement of unused driveways with curb, gutter, sidewalk, repair or addition of traffic calming or speed mitigation features; installation or reconstruction of pedestrian ramps; pavement repairs; signs, motor vehicle, pedestrian and bicycle traffic control devices; and other similar items. The current version of PROWAG will determine the applicable accessibility requirements for alterations and elements added to existing streets. ACHD staff is responsible for identifying the minor improvements that would be proportionate to the size and complexity of the development. 13. Tree Planters Tree Planter Policy: Tree Planter Policy: The District's Tree Planter Policy prohibits all trees in planters less than 8-feet in width without the installation of root barriers. Class II trees may be allowed in planters with a minimum width of 8-feet, and Class I and Class III trees may be allowed in planters with a minimum width of 10-feet. 14. Landscaping Landscaping Policy: A license agreement is required for all landscaping proposed within ACHD right-of-way or easement areas. Trees shall be located no closer than 10-feet from all public storm drain facilities. Landscaping should be designed to eliminate site obstructions in the vision triangle at intersections. District Policy 5104.3.1 requires a 40-foot vision triangle and a 3-foot height restriction on all landscaping located at an uncontrolled intersection and a 50-foot offset from stop signs. Landscape plans are required with the submittal of civil plans and must meet all District requirements prior to signature of the final plat and/or approval of the civil plans. 29 District at Ten Mile / MPP24-0006 / H-2023-0071 15. Gas Pipeline: The Williams Pipeline falls within the proposed development. Coordination with the owner of the pipeline prior to final design is recommended to ensure that their requirements are met. ACHD requires written approval from the owner of the pipeline prior to plan acceptance if public street improvements are proposed or required within the pipeline easement. 16. Pathway Crossings: United States Access Board R304.5.1.2 Shared Use Paths. In shared use paths, the width of curb ramps runs and blended transitions shall be equal to the width of the shared use path. AASHTO's Guidelines for the Development of Bicycle Facilities 5.3.5 Other Intersection Treatments: The opening of a shared use path at the roadway should be at least the same width as the shared use path itself. If a curb ramp is provided, the ramp should be the full width of the path, not including any flared sides if utilized. . . . Detectable warnings should be placed across the full width of the ramp. FHWA's "Designing Sidewalks and Trails for Access" (1999) reflected common ADA-related concepts: Chapter 6, Page 16-6: The width of the ramp should be at least as wide as the average width of the trail to improve safety for users who will be traveling at various speeds. In addition, the overall width of the trail should be increased, so the curb ramp can be slightly offset to the side. The increased width reduces conflict at the intersection by providing more space for users at the bottom of the ramp. G. Attachments H. Standard Conditions of Approval 1.
