D. Traffic Impact Study - Summary and Findings
1. Traffic Impact Study
CR Engineering, Inc. prepared an abbreviated traffic impact analysis (TIA) for the proposed
Summerlin West development and can be found under attachments on page 23. The analysis
included trip generation, existing average daily traffic counts on Locust Grove Road, site access
evaluation, a turn lane analysis for the Sumerlin Drive/Locust Grove Road intersection and an
evaluation of the trips anticipated on internal roadways proposed within the development.
a. Policy:
Maximum Traffic on One Access Point: See Policy listed under F4 on page 16-17.
b. TIS Findings: Staff has reviewed the submitted traffic impact analysis (TIA).
Site Access
Summerlin Drive was evaluated in the TIA as a local street and is proposed to be constructed
to intersect Locust Grove Road located 700-feet south of Via Roberto Lane and meets District
Local Street Intersection Spacing on Minor Arterials which requires a minimum offset of 660-
feet from all other roadways. Additionally, the Locust Grove Road/Summerlin Drive intersection
is anticipated to operate at an acceptable Level of Service planning thresholds in both the AM
and PM peak hours under 2030 total traffic conditions.
Turn Lane
The TIA states a southbound left-turn lane is warranted on Locust Grove Road at the
intersection with Summerlin Drive when the site generates 100 PM peak hour trips, or when
100 lots are platted.
Internal Roadways Traffic Volume Threshold Evaluation
• The TIA indicates that the site will only have 1 local road access, Summerlin Drive, until
the north/south collector roadway abutting the site's east property line can be
constructed between Lake Hazel Road and Columbia Road.
• The TIA notes that the total traffic on Summerlin Drive is anticipated to be 3,094 average
daily trips (ADT) at the entrance portion of the site, 2,150 ADT for the segment between
Delina Avenue and Glenmount Way and 1,880 ADT for the segment between
Glenmount Way and Crimson Clover (see image page 7) which exceeds ACHD's
maximum traffic on one local street access.
• Additionally, there is a short segment of Crimson Clover Drive, a local street, that is
anticipated to exceed the allowable 1,000 ADT for new local streets.
• The TIA states that 100 units can be constructed and occupied before exceeding the
allowable 1,000 ADT threshold for maximum traffic on one access.
c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: Staff comments are provided by District Traffic Services
and Development Review staff. The applicant should be required to construct the southbound
left-turn lane on Locust Grove Road when Summerlin Drive is constructed to intersect Locust
Grove Road.
Although the TIA evaluated Summerlin Drive as a local street, the applicant is proposing to
construct the entry portion of Summerlin Drive from Locust Grove to Delina Avenue as a
collector roadway with no front-on housing. The average daily trip (ADT) policy threshold that
has one access to a public street that is classified as a collector is typically 3,000 ADT and a
public street that is classified as a local street is typically 1,000 ADT. As noted in the TIA,
Summerlin Drive will exceed ACHD's allowed maximum forecast ADT of 3,000 with the addition
of 300 lots and a portion of Crimson Clover Drive will exceed ACHD's allowable maximum
forecast ADT of 1,000 with the addition of 100 lots (see image page 10). Therefore, if the
8 Summerlin West/ MPP24-0009 /
H-2024-0023
north/south collector roadway has not been constructed south of the site to intersect Columbia
Road or north of the site connecting to Recreation Avenue providing secondary public street
access to the site, then staff recommends that the applicant stop final platting prior to ACHD's
signature on the final plat that contains the 101st lot.
While the TIA states the total traffic on Summerlin Drive is anticipated to be 3,094 ADT at the
entrance portion of the site, staff recommends approval of a local street with the higher average
daily trips, as the entrance portion of the roadway is proposed to function as a collector street
with no-front on housing and Summerlin Drive is anticipated to have an ADT of less than 2,000
trips per day at build-out with the construction of the north/south collector connecting to
Columbia Road or Lake Hazel Road, meeting District policy.

E. Findings for Consideration
1. Maximum Traffic on One Access Point-Summerlin Drive
a. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct the entrance roadway,
Summerlin Drive, to intersect Locust Grove Road as a local street which is anticipated to carry
3,094 vehicle trips per day. The applicant is proposing to construct two stub streets to the
adjacent parcels.

b. Staff Comments/Recommendations: ACHD policy limits developments with only one access
point to 1,000 trips per day for local streets. Sole access to this site is proposed to be provided
by a local street, Summerlin Drive. Secondary Access is proposed to be provided via a new
north/south collector roadway abutting the site's east property line. Typically, ACHD would limit
the development to 1,000 trips per day or the final platting of 100 building lots until secondary
access is provided. However, the applicant is proposing to construct an emergency access
only onto Locust Grove Road providing a secondary emergency access.
2. Locust Grove Road
a. Existing Conditions: Locust Grove Road is improved with 2-travel lanes, 24-feet of pavement
and no curb, gutter or sidewalk abutting the site. There is 58-feet of right-of-way for Locust
Grove Road (22-feet from centerline).
10 Summerlin West/ MPP24-0009 /
H-2024-0023
b. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to improve Locust Grove Road with a 10-foot
wide detached concrete sidewalk abutting the site.
The applicant is proposing to construct an emergency access only onto Locust Grove Road
located 430-feet south of Summerlin Drive and in alignment with Ambervale Street.
c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The centerline of Locust Grove Road abutting the site
is not centered on the section line and is offset approximately 12 to 14-feet west of the existing
centerline of the roadway. Consistent with prior actions in the vicinity of the site, sidewalk
location and right-of-way dedication on Locust Grove Road should be measured from the
section line of the roadway abutting the site.
The applicant's proposal to construct a 10-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk exceeds
District policy which requires the construction of 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk and
should be approved, as proposed. The applicant should be required to locate the sidewalk a
minimum of 32-feet from the section line of Locust Grove Road.
Consistent with the MSM, the applicant should be required to dedicate additional right-of-way
to total 39-feet from section line of Locust Grove Road abutting the site. The additional
dedicated right-of-way is not impact fee eligible for compensation, as this segment of Locust
Grove Road is not scheduled in the CIP.
The applicant should be required to improve Locust Grove Road with 17-feet of pavement from
centerline plus a 3-foot wide gravel shoulder abutting the site.
Consistent with the findings and recommendations of the TIA, the applicant should be required
to construct a southbound left-turn lane on Locust Grove Road when Summerlin Drive is
constructed to intersect Locust Grove Road.
To accommodate the future widening of the bridge on Locust Grove Road over the Rawson
Canal, the applicant should be required to provide a road trust deposit to ACHD in the amount
of$149,688 to pay for a '/4 of the widening of the bridge over the Rawson Canal and should be
provided prior to ACHD's signature on the first final plat.
The applicant's proposal to construct an emergency access only onto Locust Grove Road meets
District policy and should be approved, as proposed. The emergency access should be
restricted with a gate or
bollards, located outside
of the right-of-way, as
determined by the PHASE 1 y.�

3. Barchetta Avenue-North/South Collector
a. Existing Conditions: Barchetta Avenue is not constructed abutting the site.
b. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct Barchetta Avenue abutting the
site's east property line as '/z of a 36-foot wide collector street section with vertical curb, gutter,
an 8-foot wide planter strip and 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk within 31.5-feet of right-
of-way.
11 Summerlin West/ MPP24-0009 /
H-2024-0023
c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal to construct Barchetta Avenue
meets District policy with the exception of no additional pavement on the east side of the
roadway. Consistent with ACHD's Half Street policy the applicant should be required to improve
the east side of the roadway with an additional 12-feet of pavement widening beyond the
centerline of the roadway established for the street, with a 3-foot wide gravel shoulder and
borrow ditch sized to accommodate the roadway storm runoff. Dedicate right-of-way to extend
to 2-feet behind back of sidewalk on the west side and to 2-feet behind back of borrow ditch on
the east side.
Staff is supportive of the applicant's proposal to construct the collector abutting the site's east
property line. However, the collector roadway is not constructed directly north or south of the
site and a "floating" piece of right-of-way is not desired. The applicant has indicated that they
are coordinating with the area property owners to construct the collector and anticipate that it
will be from its current terminus at Discovery Park to the site's south property line as part of a
joint construction project. If this development moves forward before the collector is constructed
north or south of the site, the applicant should be required to the following:
• Dedicate right-of-way to accommodate for the future north/south collector roadway
abutting the site
• Provide a road trust deposit to ACHD in the amount of $169,102 prior to ACHD's
signature on the plat that includes the north/south collector roadway to allow for the
construction of the roadway when the parcels north or south of the site develop.
The Rawson Canal runs east/west along the site's south property line and a bridge is required
to be constructed on Barchetta Avenue over the Rawson Canal. However, the adjacent parcels
to the east and south have not developed making it infeasible to construct a bridge. The
applicant should be required to provide a road trust deposit to ACHD in the amount of$299,376
to pay for % of the crossing and allow for the construction of the bridge in the future when the
adjacent parcels develop. The road trust deposit for the crossing of the Rawson Canal should
be provided prior to ACHD's signature on the plat that includes Barchetta Avenue.
4. Internal Local Streets
a. Existing Conditions: There are no local streets within the site.
b. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct the entrance roadways,
Summerlin Drive at the intersection with Locust Grove Road and near the intersection with
Glenmount Way and Delina Avenue and Ambervale Street, with two 21-foot wide travel lanes,
an 8-foot wide center landscape island, vertical curb, gutter, an 8-foot wide landscape strip and
5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk within 77-feet of right-of-way.
The applicant is proposing to construct the remaining portion of Summerlin Drive as a 33-foot
wide local street section with vertical curb, gutter, an 8-foot wide planter strip and 5-foot wide
detached concrete sidewalk within 60-feet of right-of-way.
The applicant is proposing to construct Hillsgate Street, Pipergate Avenue, Crimson Clover
Drive and Mountainair Avenue as 33-foot wide street sections with curb, gutter and 5-foot wide
attached concrete sidewalk within 44-feet of right-of-way (shown in pink below).
The applicant is proposing to construct Ambervale Street, Bluebell Street, Airmont Avenue,
Springgate Avenue, Glenmount Way and Henniker Avenue, Cloudcroft Street and Summa
Street as 27-foot wide local street sections with curb, gutter and 5-foot wide attached concrete
sidewalk within 38-feet of right-of-way.

c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal to construct the entrance
roadways, Summerlin Drive, Delina Avenue and Ambervale Street, with two 21-foot wide travel
lanes meets District policy and should be approved as proposed. As noted above, Summerlin
Drive is anticipated to exceed ACHD's allowable threshold for a local street. However, staff
recommends approval of a local street with the higher average daily trips, as the entrance
portion of the roadway is proposed to function as a collector street with no-front on housing and
Summerlin Drive is anticipated to have an ADT of less than 2,000 trips per day at build-out with
the construction of the north/south collector connecting to Columbia Road or Lake Hazel Road,
meeting District policy.
The applicant should be required to construct bulb-outs on Summerlin Drive at the intersections
with Glenmount Way and Crimson Clover Drive. Provide a minimum of 24-feet of pavement
between the bulb-outs at the intersections and provide written fire department approval for use
of the bulb-outs. The applicant should be required to remove or relocate the proposed island
on Summerlin Drive located near the intersection with Glenmount Way if it interferes with the
bulb-out required to be constructed on Sumerlin Drive at the intersection with Glenmount Way.
The applicant's proposals to construct 27-foot wide street sections meets District policy and
should be approved as proposed with the exception of Summa Street and Cloudcroft Street.
Summa Street is required to stub to the site's west property line and has the potential to exceed
ACHD's allowable 1,000 vehicle trips per day for a reduced street section. Because Summa
Street has the potential to exceed ACHD's allowable threshold and to allow for parking on both
sides of the street, staff recommends the applicant construct Summa Street and Cloudcroft
Street as 33-foot wide street section with curb, gutter and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk to allow
parking on both sides of the street.
13 Summerlin West/ MPP24-0009 /
H-2024-0023
The applicant should be required to provide written approval from the appropriate fire
department for the reduced street sections.
Parking is restricted on one side of the 27-foot street sections. The applicant should be required
to install "No Parking" signs on one side of the streets. Coordinate a signage program with
District Development Review staff.
The 8-foot wide center landscape islands on Summerlin Drive, Delina Avenue and Ambervale
Street should be platted as right-of-way owned by ACHD. The applicant or homeowner's
association should enter into a license agreement for any landscaping proposed within the
islands.
The proposed stub streets at the terminus of Mountainair Avenue and Cloudcroft Street are
required to be shifted towards the center of the block, see Finding 7 for locations. Therefore,
staff recommends Mountainair Avenue be constructed to terminate at the intersection with
Cloudcroft Street and Cloudcroft Street be constructed to terminate at the intersection with
Henniker Avenue and construct shared driveways in the location of the proposed stub streets
(see image page 15).
The applicant should be required to dedicate right-of-way to 2-feet behind back of sidewalk, or
for detached sidewalk, the applicant may reduce the right-of-way to 2-feet behind back of curb
and provide a permanent right-of-way easement that extends from the right-of-way line to 2-feet
behind back of sidewalk.
5. Roadway Offsets
a. Existing Conditions: There are no roadways within the site.
b. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct a new local street, Summerlin
Drive, to intersect Locust Grove Road located 700-feet south of Via Roberto Lane and 2,000-
feet north of Columbia Road.
The applicant is proposing to construct a local street, Ambervale Street, to intersect the
proposed collector, Barchetta Avenue, located 515-feet south of the site's northeast property
line.
The applicant is proposing to construct the internal local streets to align or offset a minimum of
125-feet.
c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposals meet District policy and
should be approved, as proposed.
6. Stub Streets
a. Existing Conditions: There are no existing stub streets to and from the site.
b. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct a collector street, Barchetta
Avenue, located at the site's east property line to stub to the site's north and south property
lines.
The applicant is proposing to construct two local stub streets located as follows:
• Cloudcroft Street to the west located 105-feet south of the site's northeast property line.
• Mountainair Avenue to the north located 173-feet west of the proposed north/south
collector roadway, Barchetta Avenue.
c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: If the north/south collector roadway is constructed
abutting the site's east property line as part of a joint construction project noted in Finding 3
above, then the roadway should be approved to stub to the site's south property line, as
14 Summerlin West/ MPP24-0009 /
H-2024-0023
proposed. Install a sign at the terminus of Barchetta Avenue stating that, "THIS IS A
DESIGNATED COLLECTOR ROADWAY. THIS STREET WILL BE EXTENDED AND
WIDENDED IN THE FUTURE."
If the north/south collector roadway has not been constructed north or south of the site, then
right-of-way dedication and a road trust deposit should be required as noted above in Finding
3.
The applicant should be required to construct a temporary cul-de-sac turnaround at the terminus
of Barchetta Avenue, as it will extend greater in length than 150-feet. The temporary turnaround
should be paved and be designed and constructed meeting the same 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.
The applicant's proposal to construct two local stub streets, Cloudcroft Street and Mountainair
Avenue, meet District policy. However, staff recommends the stub streets be located centrally
within the blocks to provide better site circulation for the adjacent parcels to the north and west
of the site. Additionally, a stub street to the site's west property line located centrally within the
block may prevent the possibility of double fronted lots and the construction of a cul-de-sac on
the adjacent parcel to the west, as there is long-term maintenance costs associated with cul-
de-sac turnarounds. Therefore, the applicant should be required to provide a stub street to the
site's west property line in alignment with the proposed Summa Street and provide a stub street
to the site's north property line in alignment with the proposed landscape strip located between
Lots 14 and 16 Block 10 (see image below).
There is an approved stub street as part of the Hadler Subdivision located north of the site,
shown below. There is an existing private road, Cavalli Lane, separating this site and Hadler
Subdivision that will be required to be closed at the intersection with Locust Grove Road when
the parcels to the east being served by this roadway develop. To allow for the stub street that
was approved as part of Hadler Subdivision to be extended in the future and allow for site
circulation, the applicant should be required to provide a stub street to the site's north property
line and in alignment with the stub street approved with the Hadler subdivision.

The applicant should be required to install a sign at the terminus of all local stub streets stating,
"THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE." A temporary turnaround is not required
at the terminus of the required stub street in alignment with Summa Street and the stub street
in alignment with the proposed landscape strip located between Lots 14 and 16 Block 10, as
they are not anticipated to extend greater in length than 150 feet.
7. Driveway
7.1 Internal Local Streets
a. Existing Conditions: There are no local streets within the site.
b. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct three 20-foot wide shared
access driveways onto internal local streets.
c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District policy and
should be approved, as proposed.
The applicant should be required to construct two 20-foot wide shared driveways, one onto
Henniker Avenue in alignment with Cloudcroft Street and one onto Cloudcroft Street in
alignment with Mountainair Avenue as stated in Finding 4c and shown on image above.
8. Traffic Calming
a. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct Summerlin Drive, Crimson
Clover Drive, Cloudcroft Street and Summa Street greater in length than 750-feet.
b. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant should be required to redesign the above
listed roadways to reduce the length or include passive design elements and submit a revised
preliminary plat showing the redesigned roadways for review and approval prior to plan
submittal for the first final plat.
Speed humps/bumps and valley gutter will not be accepted as traffic calming.
9. Bridge for Rawson Canal Crossing
The District will require that the applicant have ACHD approved plans for the crossing of the
Rawson Canal prior to the pre-construction meeting and final plat approval. Note: Timing of project
plan submittals should take into account review times, lead time for precast members and potential
roadway closures. To ensure construction prior to irrigation season, approval of the project plans
must be attained by January 15'. The District retains the right to modify road closure approvals on
any project based on the needs of the District. Construction of projects approved after January 15t"
may be postponed until after irrigation season is over in October. It is recommended that bridge
submittals be submitted before the end of the current irrigation season to ensure the best time frame
for construction is attained. Submittals will need to include the street section extending over the
bridge to ensure the requirements of the roadway are met.
10. Other Access
Locust Grove Road is classified as a minor arterial roadway. Other than the access specifically
approved with this application, direct lot access is prohibited to this roadway and should be noted
on the final plat.
F. Policy
1. Federal Accessibility Design Guidelines and Standards
District policy 7203.1.1 states that developers shall follow the current version of the U.S. Access
Board's Accessibility Guidelines for Pedestrian Facilities in the Public Right-of-Way(PROWAG), 36
CFR Part 1190, September 7, 2023; (Also see, https//www.access-board.gov/prowag and
https//www.access-board.gov/files/prowag/planning-and-design-for-aIternatives.pdf for additional
information).
16 Summerlin West/ MPP24-0009 /
H-2024-0023
2. Minor Improvements
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.
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. Maximum Traffic on One Access Point
Maximum Traffic on One Access: District policy 7207.3.3 states that if a proposed development
only has one access to a public street that is a local street, or if it proposes to extend public streets
from existing development with only one local street access to the public street system, the
maximum forecast ADT to be allowed at any point on a local street access is 1,000 and is subject
to fire department requirements for the provision of a secondary access. This volume may be
reduced or increased based on information received from the lead land use agency, the applicable
fire department, and/or emergency services. The District will also take into consideration the
following items when determining whether or not to reduce or increase the maximum allowable
ADT: railroad crossings, canal crossings, topography (foothills vs. flat land), pedestrian
connectivity, location of schools, etc.
Average Daily Traffic (ADT): District policy 7207.3.1 states that ADT on new and existing local
streets should typically be less than 2,000. This ADT applies to both existing and new streets. For
new streets that are stubbed to connect to adjacent land that is not fully developed, the allowable
ADT for the new street will typically be no more than 1,000 ADT, to accommodate future additional
traffic from the adjacent land, depending on the size of the adjacent undeveloped land. When stub
streets are connected and properties fully developed, local streets should not exceed 2,000.
In developed areas where streets already exceed 2,000 ADT or are close to exceeding 2,000 ADT,
the Commission may grant approval to exceed 2,000 ADT based on existing zoning of undeveloped
properties or infill development. The Commission may also consider the need for additional
roadway improvements or traffic calming to mitigate the additional traffic if necessary.
The ADTs listed above are desirable planning thresholds for local streets, not roadway capacities.
Actual roadway capacities are much higher than the planning thresholds.
5. Locust Grove 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.
17 Summerlin West/ MPP24-0009 /
H-2024-0023
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 Policy 7205.2.1 & 7205.5.2 states that
the standard 3-lane street section shall be 37-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb). This width
typically accommodates a single travel lane in each direction, and a continuous center left-turn lane,
and curbs and gutters. A 3-lane road shall also include a minimum 10-foot wide multi-use path on
both sides with at 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 53-feet to allow for a 5-foot wide bike lane and 3-foot wide painted buffer.
Landscaped medians with intermittent turn lanes may be allowed when a minimum of 20-feet of
pavement on both sides of the median is provided.
If a landscaped median is included in any of these cross sections, the landscaping shall be
maintained by license agreement with the adjacent HOA, property owner, or by interagency
agreement with the corresponding land use jurisdiction.
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 pathway and buffers.
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
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
18 Summerlin West/ MPP24-0009 /
H-2024-0023
the back edge of the pedestrian facility. Pedestrian facilities 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.
Frontage Improvements Policy: District Policy 7205.2.1 states that the developer shall widen the
pavement to a minimum of 17-feet from centerline plus a 3-foot wide gravel shoulder adjacent to
the entire site. Curb, gutter and additional pavement widening may be required (See Section
7205.5.5).
ACHD Master Street Map: ACHD Policy Section 3111.1 requires the Master Street Map (MSM)
guide the right-of-way acquisition, arterial street requirements, and specific roadway features
required through development. This segment of Locust Grove Road is designated in the MSM as
a Residential Arterial with 3-lanes and on-street bike lanes, a 46-foot street section within 78-feet
of right-of-way.
6. Internal Local Streets
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.
Reduced Urban Local Street-27-foot Street Section and Right-of-Way Policy: District Policy
7207.5.2 states that the width of a reduced urban local street shall be 27-feet(back-of-curb to back-
of-curb) with curb, gutter, and minimum 5-foot concrete sidewalks on both sides and shall typically
be within 41-feet of right-of-way. Unless approved in writing by the land use agency, this street
section is not allowed by the City of Kuna and City of Star. In some cases, this street width may not
accommodate new utilities. A 29-foot street section within 43-feet of right-of-way may be
constructed in lieu of a 27-foot street section if the applicant demonstrates that the additional
roadway width is necessary to extend the utilities.Although some parking is allowed by the following
subsections, the District will further restrict parking on a reduced width street if curves or other
physical features cause problems, if actual emergency response experience indicates that
emergency vehicles may not be able to provide service, or if other safety concerns arise. One of
the following three sets of design conditions shall apply.
Design Condition #1: Parking is allowed on one side of a reduced width street when all of the
following criteria are met:
• The street is in a residential area.
• The developer shall provide written approval from the appropriate fire department or
emergency response unit in the jurisdiction.
• The developer shall install NO PARKING signs on one side of the street, as specified by the
District and as specified by the appropriate fire department.
• This street section shall include curb, gutter, and minimum 5-foot wide concrete sidewalks
on both sides and shall typically be constructed within 41-feet of right-of-way.
19 Summerlin West/ MPP24-0009 /
H-2024-0023
• Traffic volumes on the street shall not exceed 1,000 vehicle trips per day. There shall be no
possibility that another street may be connected to it in a manner that would allow more than
1,000 vehicle trips per day.
Design Condition #2: Parking is allowed on both sides of a reduced width street when the street
layout has the qualities of a road grid system. This provides fire trucks and other emergency
vehicles alternate routes of access since the ability to pass another vehicle may be compromised
by placement of parked vehicles on both sides of the street. The following criteria shall be met:
• The street is in a residential area.
• The developer shall provide written approval from the appropriate fire department or
emergency response unit in the jurisdiction.
• The block length of the street shall not exceed 500-feet, measured between centerlines.
• Traffic volumes on the street are not forecast to exceed 400 vehicle trips per day.
• A minimum of two street connections shall be provided to each end of the street with the
reduced width. The two connecting streets shall each connect to the larger street system to
provide the intended alternate routes of access. A street system that has one street
connection to the larger street network on one end and a loop/circle street on the other end
with no outlet shall not be approved.
• This street section shall include curb, gutter, and minimum 5-foot wide concrete sidewalks
on both sides and shall typically be constructed within 41-feet of right-of-way.
Design Condition #3: Parking is allowed on both sides of a reduced width residential street with
passing pockets that are created when two driveways are constructed near the same property line,
where a 50-foot segment will not have on—street parking on the side of the street with the
driveways. This provides fire trucks and other vehicles areas to move to the side of the street to
allow another vehicle to pass when vehicles are parked on the street. Parking is allowed on both
sides of a reduced width street when the following criteria are met:
• The street is in a residential area.
• The developer shall provide written approval from the appropriate fire department or
emergency response unit in the jurisdiction.
• Driveway locations are predetermined with curb cuts for the driveways to be installed when
the street is constructed. The curb cuts shall be 20-feet wide. Each lot on the street will be
paired with an adjacent lot. If there are an odd number of lots, one lot at either end of the
street will not be paired. Each pair of lots shall locate its driveway 5-feet from the shared lot
line of the pair.
• This street section shall include curb, gutter, and minimum 5-foot wide concrete sidewalks
on both sides and shall typically be constructed within 41-feet of right-of-way.
• The lots cannot abut an alley.
• Traffic volumes on the street are not forecast to exceed 400 vehicle trips per day.
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.
20 Summerlin West/ MPP24-0009 /
H-2024-0023
• 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.
Landscape Medians Policy: District policy 7207.5.16 states that landscape medians are
permissible where adequate pavement width is provided on each side of the median to
accommodate the travel lanes and where the following is provided:
• The median is platted as right-of-way owned by ACHD.
• The width of an island near an intersection is 12-feet maximum for a minimum distance of
150-feet. Beyond the 150-feet, the island may increase to a maximum width of 30-feet.
• At an intersection that is signalized or is to be signalized in the future, the median width shall
be reduced to accommodate the necessary turn lane storage and tapers.
• The Developer or Homeowners Association shall apply for a license agreement if
landscaping is to be placed within these medians.
21 Summerlin West/ MPP24-0009 /
H-2024-0023
• The license agreement shall contain the District's requirements of the developer including,
but not limited to, a"hold harmless" clause; requirements for maintenance by the developer;
liability insurance requirements; and restrictions.
• Vertical curbs are required around the perimeter of any raised median. Gutters shall slope
away from the curb to prevent ponding.
7. Roadway Offsets
Local Street Intersection Spacing on Minor 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 660-feet as measured from all other existing roadways as
identified in Table 1 a (7205.4.6).
Collector Offset Policy: 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).
8. Stub Streets
Stub Street Policy: District policy 7206.2.4.3 and 7207.2.4.3 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 and 7207.2.4, 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" and "THIS ROAD WILL
BE EXTENDED 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: District policy 7206.2.4.4 and 7207.2.4.4 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.
9. Driveways
9.1 Internal Local Streets
Driveway Location Policy: District policy 7207.4.1 requires driveways near intersections to be
located a minimum of 75-feet (measured centerline-to-centerline) from the nearest local street
intersection, and 150-feet from the nearest collector or arterial street intersection.
Successive Driveways: District Policy 7207.4.1 states that successive driveways away from an
intersection shall have no minimum spacing requirements for access points along a local street, but
the District does encourage shared access points where appropriate.
22 Summerlin West/ MPP24-0009 /
H-2024-0023
Driveway Width Policy: District policy 7207.4.3 states that where vertical curbs are required,
residential driveways shall be restricted to a maximum width of 20-feet and may be constructed as
curb-cut type driveways.
Driveway Paving Policy: Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance
problems due to gravel being tracked onto the roadway. In accordance with District policy,
7207.4.3, 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.
10. Traffic Calming
Speed Control and Traffic Calming Policy: District policy 7207.3.7 states that the design of local
street systems should discourage excessive speeds by using passive design elements. If the
design or layout of a development is anticipated to necessitate future traffic calming implementation
by the District, then the District will require changes to the layout and/or the addition of passive
design elements such as horizontal curves, bulb-outs, chokers, etc. The District will also consider
texture changes to the roadway surface (i.e. stamped concrete) as a passive design element.
These alternative methods may require maintenance and/or license agreement.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. 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.

This memorandum summarizes the traffic impact analysis (TIA) for the proposed Summerlin Subdivision located
east of Locust Grove Road between Lake Hazel Road and Columbia Road in Meridian, Idaho. Summerlin
Subdivision is a proposed residential development containing 338 single-family lots. The development is proposing
one site access on Locust Grove Road.
The scope of the TIA was based on our coordination with the Ada County Highway District (ACHD). The
following sections summarize the proposed development, existing conditions of the study area, traffic forecasts,
and traffic impact analysis. The key findings are:
■ The proposed development is estimated to generate 3,094 weekday daily trips, 226 trips in the AM peak
hour, and 312 trips in the PM peak hour
Approximately 85%of the site traffic is estimated to have origins/destination north of the site and 15%
south of the site
■ The proposed site access on Locust Grove is located approximately 700 feet south of Via Roberto Lane
• Meets ACHD 660 feet local road spacing on a minor arterial
■ The proposed access and Locust Grove Road intersection is anticipated to warrant a southbound left-turn
lane under 2030 build-out year total traffic conditions
• Warranted when 100 lots are constructed and occupied generating 100 PM peak hour trips
■ The proposed access and Locust Grove Road intersection is anticipated to meet minimum operational
thresholds under 2030 build-out year total traffic conditions with and without the southbound left-turn lane

1 There is adequate intersection sight distance at the proposed site access intersection
• Maintain a minimum intersection sight distance of 555 feet
• Building setback and landscape design should not obstruct intersection sight distance
■ All internal local roads with front-on housing are estimated to carry less than 2,000 average daily traffic
(ADT), except for a short segment of the access roadway east of Locust Grove Road
■ A short segment of the proposed access roadway east of Locust Grove Road does not have front-on housing
and is estimated to carry over 3,000 ADT
■ The proposed access roadway should be functionally classified and constructed as a local road
• Does not correspond to any future collector street identified in the Master Street Map
■ The site only has one local road access to the public street system until the mid-mile collector street along
the eastern site boundary is constructed between Lake Hazel Road and Columbia Road
• Per ACHD Policy Section 7207.3.3,the maximum ADT allowed on one local road access to the public
street system is 1,000
• The ADT on the proposed access roadway is anticipated to exceed 1,000 when 100 lots are constructed
and occupied
■ Traffic calming measures should be installed on internal local roads with straight segments exceeding 750
feet per ACHD Policy
Proposed Development
Figure 1 shows the preliminary site plan for the proposed development. Summerlin Subdivision is a proposed
residential development containing 338 single-family lots. The expected build-out year is 2030 but this may change
depending on the market conditions. The development is proposing one full-movement site access on Locust Grove
Road. The development is planning to construct one-half of the future mid-mile collector street along the eastern
site boundary. The preliminary site plan also shows two stubbed roads for future connectivity with the adjacent
parcels.
Existing Conditions
Locust Grove Road is a two-lane minor arterial with a posted speed limit of 50 mph. It has a rural section without
a curb, gutter, sidewalks, and bicycle lanes along the site frontage. Existing traffic on the Locust Grove Road
segment adjacent to the site was collected on June 6, 2024, and is attached. The existing ADT on Locust Grove
adjacent to the site is 3,152 vehicles per day. The maximum peak hour directional volume on this Locust Grove
Road segment is 284 vehicles per hour(vph),which is less than the 575 vph planning threshold for a two-lane minor
arterial.
There were no reported crashes on Locust Grove Road along the site frontage between 2019 and 2023.

Traffic Forecasts
The analysis year is 2030 corresponding to the expected build-out year of the project. 2030 background traffic on
the study area segment of Locust Grove Road is estimated by extrapolating the existing counts with a 7% annual
growth rate,which is the same growth rate used in Pinnacle Mixed-Use Development TIS. The 7%annual growth
is assumed to account for off-site traffic generated by in-process developments in the area and adjacent to the site.
Site trip generation for Summerlin Subdivision is estimated using the procedures recommended in the Trip
Generation Manual (I I'Edition), published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). At full build-out,
the development is estimated to generate 3,094 weekday daily trips, 226 trips during the AM peak hour, and 312
trips during the PM peak hour, as summarized in Table 1. Approximately 15% of the site traffic is estimated to
have origins/destinations to the south and 85% to the north. All site traffic is expected to use the proposed access
on Locust Grove Road. The mid-mile collector along the eastern site boundary is assumed not connected to Lake

Hazel Road or Columbia Road. The site traffic is added to the 2030 background traffic to obtain the 2030 build-
out year total traffic, summarized in Figure 2.

Traffic Impact Analysis
Site Access, Circulation, and Internal Roadway ADT
According to the ACHD Policy Section 7205.4,access spacing on Locust Grove Road,a 50-mph minor arterial, is:
• 1,320 feet unsignalized collector street spacing
660 feet local road spacing
• 425 feet driveway separation
Figure 3 shows the proposed site access and circulation and estimated ADTs on the internal roadway. Summerlin
Subdivision only has site frontage on one existing roadway,Locust Grove Road. Therefore, it is necessary to take
access to Locust Grove Road. The proposed access on Locust Grove Road is located approximately 700 feet south
of Via Roberto Lane, which meets the 660-foot local road spacing. The proposed access is located adjacent to
Cavalli Lane,a private road serving one existing home.
The proposed access roadway does not correspond to any future collector street identified in the ACED Master
Street Map;therefore, should be classified and constructed as a local street. As shown in Figure 3, a short segment
of the proposed access roadway east of Locust Grove Road does not have front-on housing and is estimated to carry
over 3,000 ADT.All proposed internal roadways with front-on housing are estimated to carry less than 2,000 ADT,
except for a short segment of the access roadway east of Locust Grove Road.
Per ACED Policy Section 7207.3.3,the maximum ADT allowed on one local road access to the public street system
is 1,000. Until the mid-mile collector street along the eastern site boundary is constructed between Lake Hazel
Road and Columbia Road,the site only has one local road access to the public street system. The projected traffic
volume on the proposed access roadway is anticipated to exceed the 1,000 ADT threshold when 100 lots are
constructed and occupied.
Three local road segments within Summerlin Subdivision have straight segments exceeding 750 feet. Traffic
calming measures should be installed along these roadway segments to reduce potential speeding.
Turn Lane
Turn lane warrant analysis was conducted for the proposed site access intersection on Locust Grove Road. Turn
lane warrant analysis worksheets are attached. Based on ACED turn lane guidelines,a southbound left-turn lane is
warranted under 2030 total traffic conditions. The southbound left-turn lane is warranted by 2026 when 100 lots
within Summerlin Subdivision are constructed generating 100 PM peak hour trips

Intersection Sight Distance
The minimum intersection sight distance on a 50-mph roadway is 550 feet. The proposed site access intersection
is estimated to have adequate intersection sight distance. There are no sight obstructions on Locust Grove Road
along the site frontage. Building setbacks and landscape design should not obstruct intersection sight distance.
Intersection Operations
Table 2 summarizes the intersection capacity analysis results. The proposed site access intersection is anticipated
to meet ACHD minimum operational thresholds under 2030 build-out year total traffic conditions with and without
the southbound left-turn lane.
