Impacted Roadways Overland Road Frontage: Functional Street Classification: Traffic count: Level of Service: Speed limit: Calderwood Drive Frontage: Functional Street Classification: Traffic count: Level of Service: Speed limit: Meridian Road: Frontage: Functional Street Classification: Traffic count: Approximately 142-feet Minor Arterial West of Locust Grove Road was 11,065 on 6/5/02 Better than liCit 35-mph No frontage Collector East of Meridian Road was 800 on 10/29/02 Better than liCit 35-mph Approximately 1,275-feet Principal Arterial South of 1-84 was 31,712 on 5/16/00 South of Overland Road was 21,966 on 10/22/02 Speed limit: 35-mph State Highway 69 /Meridian Road is under the jurisdiction of Idaho Transportation Department (ITD). 7. Roadway Improvements Adjacent To and Near the Site Overland Road is a minor arterial roadway with 2-travellanes including a left turn at the intersection. There are no roadway improvements such as curb, gutter or sidewalk abutting the site. 2 " Meridian Road is a principal arterial roadway with 4-travel lanes (dedicated left turn lane at the intersection) with a center turn lane extending south of the intersection. There are no roadway improvements such as curb, gutter or sidewalk abutting the site. 8. Existing Right.of.Way Overland Road has approximately 94-feet of existing right-of-way (45-feet on the south side of the centerline). Meridian Road has approximately 104-feet at the intersection tapering south to 126-feet of existing right-of-way (54-feet at the intersection tapering to 60-feet at the southern property line from the east side of the centerline: approximately 50-feet at the intersection tapering to 66-feet at the southern property line from the west side of the centerline). 9. Existing Access to the Site The site does not have any delineated access points to Overland Road or Meridian Road. There are two agricultural accesses located on Meridian Road; one is located approximately in the middle of the site and one is adjacent to the southern property line. 10. Capital Improvements Plan/Five Year Work Program The Overland Road/Meridian Road intersection is programmed in the District's current Capital Improvements Plan and Five Year Work Program for reconstruction and roadway improvements. FYWP-04-08: Overland Road and Meridian Road intersection reconstruction: widen and improve the intersection. Schedule and work will be coordinated with lTD. Project will required a study to look at the intersection and different alignments. Professional services 2005. right-of-way acquisition 2006, construction 2007. CIP2003: Overland Road and Meridian Road intersection: reconstruct intersection with lTD. anticipated construction 2007. Desian for the intersection has not been finalized at the time of this staff re/Jort. A /Jrelirflinarv desian for the intersection includes two dedicated left turn lanes onto Meridian Road. a deceleration lane on Meridian Road. and one dedicated riaht-turn lane onto Overland Road from Meridian Road. B. Findings for Consideration 1. Right-of.Way Overland Road District policy requires 96-feet of right-of-way on arterial roadways (Figure 72-F1 B). This right-of-way allows for the construction of a 5-lane roadway with curb, gutter, 5-foot concrete detached sidewalks and bike lanes. The intersection of Overland Road and Meridian Road is listed as a proposed project in the District's currently adopted Five- Year Work Program and in the currently adopted 20-year Capital Improvements Plan. The right-of-way for the Overland Road/Meridian Road intersection project on the Overland Road leg has not been acquired. If the right-of-way hasn't been acquired the applicant should be compensated for the additional right-of-way required for the intersection project. As such, the applicant may receive reimbursement for dedicated right-of-way from available collected impact fees or enter into an impact fee offset agreement. 3 The preliminary right-of-way necessary for Overland Road is estimated at 52-feet from centerline abutting the site. The applicant should work with ACHD Traffic staff and Development staff for the dedication of additional right-of-way needed for the turn lanes and necessary signal control boxes and poles. Meridian Road Meridian Road (State Highway 69) is under the jurisdiction of Idaho Transportation Department (ITD). The applicant should coordinate the right-of-way requirements and the proposed deceleration lane with ITD. 2. Sidewalk District policy requires 5-foot wide (minimum) concrete sidewalk on all collector roadways and arterial roadways (7204.6.5). In accordance with District policy the applicant should be required to construct sidewalk abutting the frontage of Overland Road. However, this segment of Overland Road will be reconstructed within the next five years. Due to the preliminary nature of the design, the applicant should road trust for the sidewalk in lieu of construction so that it may be constructed in its ultimate location with the project. The applicant is proposing to construct a north-south pathway along the east property line, and should work with ACHD Traffic staff and Development staff for the placement and tie-in for the proposed pathway to the future sidewalk abutting the site. District policy 7203.6 requires the applicant of a proposed development to make improvements to existing damaged sidewalk; curb and gutter construction or replacement; replacement of unused driveways with standard curb, gutter and sidewalk; installation of pedestrian ramps; pavement repairs; signs; traffic control devises; and other similar items in order to correct deficiencies or replace deteriorated facilities. The applicant should construct a pedestrian ramp onto Overland Road to reduce the conflict with pedestrian/vehicu/ar traffic. The pedestrian ramp should be constructed in compliance with ADA standards. Coordinate the construction and location with District staff. The pedestrian ramp should be constructed in compliance with ADA standards. Coordinate the construction and location with District staff. However, this segment of Overland Road will be reconstructed within the next five years. Due to the preliminary nature of the design, the applicant should road trust for the pedestrian ramp in lieu of construction so that it may be constructed in its ultimate location with the project. 3. Public Rights.of.Way Trust Fund District policy 7203.8 states, if the District determines that is necessary or desirable to defer making some or all of the improvements described, the developer shall contribute the estimated value of the improvements to the Public Rights-of-Way Trust Fund. In lieu of constructing the sidewalk on Overland Road, the applicant should be required to provide a $2,840.00 deposit to the Public Rights-of-Way Trust Fund for the cost of constructing 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk for approximately 142-feet abutting the frontage on Overland Road. ($20.00 per L.F.) In lieu of constructing the pedestrian ramp on Overland Road, the applicant should be required to provide a $350.00 deposit to the Public Rights-of-Way Trust Fund for the cost of constructing the pedestrian ramp. 4 4. Driveways/Collectors and Arterials/Signalized District policy 72-F4 (1) requires driveways located on arterial roadways near a signalized intersection to be located a minimum of 440-feet 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. The applicant is not proposing to construct any access points on Overland Road; therefore none should be approved with this application. The applicant is proposing to construct two access points onto Meridian Road (State Highway 69). ~ Proposed driveway #1 is to be located approximately 495-feet south of the near edge of the intersection of Overland Road. ~ Proposed driveway # 2 is to be located approximately 620-feet south of driveway # 1 (measured from near edge to near edge). Meridian Road (State Highway 69) is under the jurisdiction of Idaho Transportation Department (lTD). Application materials should be submitted to ITD for review and requirements of that Department and the applicant should submit to the District a letter from ITD regarding said requirements prior to District approval of the final plat or issuance of a building permit (or other required permits), whichever occurs first. The applicant may contact District 11/ Traffic Engineer at 334-8341. A Transportation Impact Study (TIS) may be required at the discretion of the Idaho Transportation Department's Traffic Engineer if the proposed development meets criteria presented in ITD's Requirements for Transportation Impact Study, April 1995. A TIS is not required if the development generates less than 25 new peak hour trips on a state highway and the total added volume will be less than 250 vehicles per day. A "full TIS is required whenever a proposed development will generate 100 or more new peak hour trips; or when the total volume expected to be added to the state highway system by the development equals or exceeds 1000 vehicles per day. A "minor TIS is required for developments that will generate between 25 and 99 new peak hour trips or will add from 250 to 999 vehicles per day For further information on the TIS, contact the District Permit Officer at 334-8341. The applicant is proposing to provide access to the adjoining parcel (parcel # 1) to the south through a parking lot connection located at the southern property line, approximately 240-feet east of Meridian Road: ~ The adjoining parcel# 1 is 1.8D-acres, zoned RUT (Rural Urban Transition); Parcel # 1 has an existing single-family dwelling with a residential driveway located approximately 45-feet south of the southern property line of the proposed development site. This parcel has approximately 1504eet of frontage on Meridian Road and approximately 541-feet of frontage on East Calderwood Drive. ~ District staff is supportive of the parking lot connection to the parcel to the south. ~ Adjoining parcel #2 is 0.36-acres, zoned R-4 (Single-Family Residential) a platted lot in Elk Run Subdivision: parcel #2 has as existing single-family dwelling with a residential driveway located on East Calderwood Drive approximately 571-feet east of the near edge of pavement of Meridian Road. 5 Successive Driveways District policy 72-F5, requires driveways located on collector or arterial roadways with a speed limit of 35 to align or offset a minimum of 150-feet from any existing or proposed driveway. Driveway Construction Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance problems due to gravel being tracked onto the roadway. In accordance with District policy, 7207.9.1, the applicant should be required to pave the driveway its full width and at least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of the roadway and install pavement tapers with 15-foot radii abutting the existing roadway edge. District policy 7207.9.3 restricts commercial driveways with daily traffic volumes over 1,000 vehicles to a maximum width of 35-feet. Most commercial driveways will be constructed as curb-cut type facilities if located on local streets. Curb return type driveways with 15-foot radii will be required for driveways accessing collector and arterial roadways. 5. Center Turn Lanes and Tapers District policy 7204.8 states, if traffic volumes from a proposed development warrant turn lanes into or out of the site, the applicant may be required to dedicate additional right-of-way to accommodate the improvements. The applicant will not be compensated by ACHD for the dedication of additional right- of-way and pavement widening. District policy 3004.1, 72-F8, AASHTO guidelines and the MUTCD guidelines require the turn lane to be constructed to provide a minimum of 100-feet of storage with shadow tapers for both the approach and departure directions. Coordinate the design of the turn lane with District staff. District policy 3004.1 and AASHTO Guidelines require tapers to be constructed on a varying basis contingent upon the posted speed limit. Coordinate the design of the taper with District staff. As indicated on the site plan the applicant is proposing to construct a deceleration lane on Meridian Road with the project. The applicant should contact the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) for the scope of work for the Overland Road/Meridian Road intersection project. The applicant should coordinate with ACHD Traffic staff and Development Services staff for the scope of work for the Overland Road/Meridian Road intersection project. The applicant should be required to meet all AASHTO and MUTCD guidelines. C. Special notification to the Applicant and the City of Meridian 1.
