4. Traffic Impact Study: A traffic impact study was required with this application. The submitted traffic
impact study was compiled by Dobie Engineering and the following is a summary of the findings:
This Development is projected to be built-out by the year 2005. The following is a summary or the
findings and recommendations provided by the Traffic Engineer:
2
The proposed Fairview Lakes Subdivision project is a proposed mixed use development including
apartments, professional offices, specialty retail, and restaurants. The project will be developed in
phases and is expected to reach full build out by the year 2005.
Fairview Avenue is a standard principal arterial with a 64 ft. wide five-lane urban section. The posted
speed limit is 35 mph east of Locust Grove Road. The Level of service for Fairview Avenue is
estimated to operate at a LOS B/C during the peak hour period in the year 2005 without the addition
of the site traffic.
This development is projected to generate 10,960 total trips, ot which 1,230 will be captured within
the development. Ot the remaining 9,730 trips 5,545 were estimated to be new to the area while
4,185 trips were estimated to be pass-by trips already on Fairview Avenue. These trips were based
on 192 apartment units, 15,000 sf of office space, 100,000 st of retail use,- a 5j600-sf-bank; and 8,000
sf for restaurant. A trip capture rate ot 11.2% was used. The totals from the revised application were
192 apartment units, 15,000 sf of office space, 92,800 sf of retail use, a 5,000 sf drive-in bank, a
4,000 sf fast food restaurant w/drive-thru, and a 12,000 sf high turnover restaurant. The totals
presented in the traffic study are actually higher than those calculated for the application total. This is
the conservative approach which will safeguard against totals that may be higher than those
projected. The need for a signal at this intersection should not be affected by the difference in traffic
projections.

* '" -Site traffic will experience significant delay during the PM peak hour.
** - This analysis was based on the assumption that the west access will be approved tor
Signalization. Approach traffic from the site will maintain acceptable service levels by that
time period with the addition of a traffic signal.
Fairview Avenue was evaluated tor Level of service in the build out (2005) and 2020. The projections
for the peak hour were LOS C for 2005 and LOS E tor 2020 based on a five-lane roadway. The
recommendation is that Fairview Avenue be expanded to handle the additional capacity needed after
year 2020.
The Traffic study reviewed the Signal Warrants from the 1988 MUTCD. The analysis indicates that
warrant #1 will be met with 75% of site traffic using the signalized intersection. Warrant #2 is met with
less than 50% of the site traffic. Similarly, warrants #9, #10, and #11 are all satisfied based on
projected traffic volumes.

11. Five Year Work Program
There are no improvements in the area that are scheduled in the Five Year Work Program.
12. Signal Location
The District has chosen the location ot the signal at the commerciallindustrial roadway and Fairview
Avenue intersection due to the tact that:
· This location is at the half-mile
· This location will serve more vehicle trips per day
· This location will pull vehicle trips per day oft of Jericho Street (a collector roadway with front
on housing) and will place the vehicles on a commerciallindustrial roadway
· This location will provide the surrounding residential homes with access to a signal
4
. This location can serve more vehicle trips per day on the North side of Fairview Avenue than
on the south side of Fairview Avenue
B. Findings for Consideration
1. Right-of-Way and Sidewalk
District policy requires 120-feet of right-of-way on arterial roadways (Figure 72-F1 B). This right-of-
way allows for the construction of a 7 -lane roadway with curb, gutter, 5-foot concrete detached
sidewalks and bike lanes.
Fairview Avenue is not listed as a proposed project in the District's currently adopted Five-Year Work
Program or in the currently adopted 20-year Capital Improvements Plan. As such, the applicant
cannot receive reimbursement for dedicated right-of-way from av~jl_~bl~ coUeqted impact fees. The
- applicant shall do one of the fOllciwing:-
a. Dedicate by donation an additional5-feet of right-of-way along Fairview Avenue, and construct a
minimum 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk along Fairview Avenue, located a minimum ot 53-feet trom
the centerline of the right-ot-way.
b. Do not dedicate additional right-of-way, but construct a minimum 5.foot wide concrete sidewalk
along Fairview Avenue, located a minimum of 53-feet from the centerline of the right-ot-way, in an
easement provided to the District.
c. Do not dedicate additional right-ot-way, but construct a minimum 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk
along Fairview Avenue, located at the back edge of the existing right-of-way. Accomplish all
necessary adjustments to properly accommodate existing drainage and utilities.
2. Roadway Offsets
District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 300-feet from an
arterial roadway (measured centerline to centerline).
The applicant is proposing to construct a commercial/industrial roadway that intersects with Fairview
Avenue 310-feet east ot the west property line. This roadway location meets District policy and
should be approved with this application.
3. Street Sectionti
Distrid policy 7202.8 and 72-F1 B, requires roadways abutting commercial developments to be
constructed as a 40-foot street section with curb, gutter and 5400t concrete sidewalk within 54-feet of
right-of-way.
The applicant is proposing to construct a commerciallindustrial roadway that extends from Fairview
Avenue to the north. This roadway is proposed to cul-de-sac just before the proposed multi-tamily
residential apartment complex. This roadway will also provide a link that will connect into Teare
Avenue.
The proposed commercial/industrial roadway that the applicant is proposing will consist ot a 40-foot
street section that includes 2-travellanes, a center turn lane, curb, gutter and 5-foot concrete
sidewalk within 54-teet of right-of-way. The proposed street section meets District policy and should
be approved with this application.
5
4. Driveways
District policy F2-F5, requires driveways located on collector or arterial roadways with a speed limit ot
35 to align or offset a minimum of 150-feet from any existing or proposed driveway.
District policy F2-F4 (1) and 72-F4 (2), requires driveways located on commerciallindustrial roadways
to offset a controlled and/or uncontrolled intersection a minimum of 50-feet (measured near edge to
near 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 it located on local streets. Curb return type driveways with 15-toot radii will be required for
driveways accessing collector and arterial roadways.
Fairview Avenue Drivewav
The applicant is proposing to construct one 30-foot wide driveway on Fairview Avenue. This
driveway is proposed to intersect Fairview Avenue approximately 205-teet west of the east property
line. This driveway meets District policy and should be approved with this application.
Commercial/Industrial Street Drivewavs
The applicant is proposing to construct thirteen driveways on the proposed commercial/industrial
roadway. The driveways are proposed to be constructed in the tollowing locations.
· Driveway number 1 is proposed to intersect the commerciallindustrial roadway
approximately 54-teet north of Fairview Avenue. This driveway is proposed to be 25-
feet in width.
· Driveway number 2 and 3 are proposed to intersect the commerciallindustrial
roadway approximately 175-feet north of Fairview Avenue. These driveways are
proposed to align with one another. These driveways are proposed to be 17 -teet in
width.
· Driveway number 4 is proposed to intersect the commerciallindustrial roadway
approximately 235-feet north of Fairview Avenue. This driveway is proposed to be
21-feet in width.
· Driveway number 5 is proposed to intersect the commerciallindustrial roadway that
extends north from Fairview Avenue approximately 58D-feet north of Fairview
Avenue. This driveway is proposed to be 22-feet in width.
· Driveway number 6 is proposed to extend directly north of the commerciallindustrial
roadway and proposed to intersect the northern portion of the cul-de-sac. This
driveway is proposed to be 45-feet in width.
· Driveway number 7 is proposed to intersect the commerciallindustrial roadway that
runs east and west and is proposed to be located approximately 50-teet east ot the
commerciallindustrial roadway that extends from Fairview Avenue to the north. This
driveway is proposed to be 27 -feet in width.
· Driveway number 8 is proposed to intersect the commercial/industrial roadway that

located on the east and west side of the commerciallindustrial roadway just north of
the proposed roundabout.
· Driveway number 12 and 13 are proposed to be 30-feet in width and located on the
east and west side of the commercial/industrial roadway approximately 160-feet
north of the proposed roundabout.
All of the proposed driveway locations meet District policy in regard to location.
All of the proposed driveway widths meet District policy EXCEPT for driveway number 6. Driveway
number 6 should be constructed a maximum ot 35-feet in width.
5. All Driveways __ ._
. 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-teet into the site b~yond the edge of pavement of the
roadway and install pavement tapers with 15-foot radii abutting the existing roadway edge.
6. Stub Streets
District policy 7203.5.1 and 7205.5 requires stub streets to provide intra-neighborhood circulation and
to provide access to adjoining parcels.
District policy 7203.3.2 requires an existing street or a street in an approved preliminary plat, which
extends at a boundary of a proposed development to be extended into that development.
The applicant is proposing to extend Teare Avenue. This extension will provide a connection from
Teare Avenue to Fairview Avenue. The extension of Teare Avenue meets the goals and intent ot
District policy and has the supportive ot District staff.
The District held a neighborhood meeting on Thursday March 20,2003. The Teare Avenue extension
was approved by the Meridian City Council on March 25, 2003 after a number ot neighborhood
concerns arose.
Modification of Policv
The applicant is proposing to terminate Clarene Street at its current location and construct temporary
bollardsfor emergency access only. District policy requires that stub streets- be constructed and/or
extended to adjoining properties to provide reasonable access and intra-neighborhood connectivity.
Staff would generally support the extension of Clarene Street into the site, but due to the fact that the
applicant is extending Teare Avenue to the residential neighborhood that is located to the northeast,
staff is supportive of the applicant's proposal to construct bollards at the terminus of Clarene Street.
With the construction of bollards, Clarene Street will be one-lot and less than 150-feet in depth,
therefore, the applicant will not be required to construct a temporary turnaround.
6. Turnarounds
District policy 7204.9.2 requires turnarounds to be constructed to provide a minimum turning radius ot
55-feet.
The applicant is proposing to dedicate a hammerhead turnaround at the west end of Clarene Street
on the applicant's property. This hammerhead turnaround will function as the property's frontage until
the preliminary plat is submitted and the roadways are formally dedicated. This hammerhead
turnaround is required to have bollards installed at the terminus of Clarene Street where the
7
hammerhead begins. The applicant should also enter into a license agreement for the maintenance
of the hammerhead turnaround on Clarene Street due to the tact that the District will be unable to
access the turnaround.
The applicant is proposing to provide a permanent "hammerhead" easement to the District at the
terminus of North Lark Avenue. This easement is acceptable to the District but must be approved by
the Meridian Fire Department. The applicant should provide a permanent "hammerhead" easement
to the District at the terminus ot the commerciallindustrial roadway and provide documentation to the
District showing the review and approval of this configuration trom the Meridian Fire Department.
7. Roundabout
The applicant is proposing to construct a roundabout within the commerciallindustrial roadway
approximately 530-feet north of Fairview Avenue.
The roundabout should be designed with 21-foot street sections on either side of the center island.
The applicant will be required to dedicate sufficient right-ot-way on either side of an island.
Coordinate the size and design of the roundabout with traffic services staff.
8. Signalization
The applicant is proposing to construct a new signal at the intersection ot Fairview Avenue and the
commerciallindustrial roadway that extends north into the site. The signal is proposed at the halt
mile. The traffic study determined that the warrants would be met and that the existing signals in the
area would not be significantly impacted by the new signal. The District will contribute the hardware
necessary tor the construction of the new signal and any related roadway improvements. The
applicant should plan, construct and install the signal that is proposed at the intersection of Fairview.
Avenue and the commercial/industrial roadway that extends north into the site.
C. Site Specific Conditions of Approval

4. Traffic Impact Study: A traffic impact study was required with this application. The submitted traffic
impact study was compiled by Dobie Engineering and the following is a summary of the findings:
This Development is projected to be built-out by the year 2005. The following is a summary or the
findings and recommendations provided by the Traffic Engineer:
2
The proposed Fairview Lakes Subdivision project is a proposed mixed use development including
apartments, professional offices, specialty retail, and restaurants. The project will be developed in
phases and is expected to reach full build out by the year 2005.
Fairview Avenue is a standard principal arterial with a 64 ft. wide five-lane urban section. The posted
speed limit is 35 mph east of Locust Grove Road. The Level of service for Fairview Avenue is
estimated to operate at a LOS B/C during the peak hour period in the year 2005 without the addition
ot the site traffic.
This development is projected to generate 10,960 total trips, of which 1,230 will be captured within
the development. Of the remaining 9,730 trips 5,545 were estimated to be new to the area while
4,185 trips were estimated to be pass-by trips already on Fairview Avenue. These trips were based
on 192 apartment units, 15,000 sf of office space, 100,000 st of retail use, a 5,600 sf bank, and 8,000
st for restaurant. A trip capture rate of 11.2% was used. The totals from the revised application were
192 apartment units, 15,000 sf of office space, 92,800 sf of retail use, a 5,000 sf drive-in bank, a
4,000 sf fast food restaurant w/drive-thru, and a 12,000 sf high turnover restaurant. The totals
presented in the traffic study are actually higher than those calculated for the application total. This is
the conservative approach which will safeguard against totals that may be higher than those
projected. The need for a signal at this intersection should not be affected by the difference in traffic
projections.

** - This analysiS was based on the assumption that the west access will be approved for
Signalization. Approach traffic trom the site will maintain acceptable service levels by that
time period with the addition of a traffic signal.
Fairview Avenue was evaluated for Level of service in the build out (2005) and 2020. The projections
tor the peak hour were LOS C for 2005 and LOS E for 2020 based on a five-lane roadway. The
recommendation is that Fairview Avenue be expanded to handle the additional capacity needed after
year 2020.
The Traffic study reviewed the Signal Warrants from the 1988 MUTCD. The analysis indicates that
warrant #1 will be met with 75% ot site traffic using the signalized intersection. Warrant #2 is met with
less than 50% of the site traffic. Similarly, warrants #9, #10, and #11 are all satisfied based on
projected traffic volumes.

5. Site Information:
The site is currently vacant.
6. Description of Adjacent Surrounding Area:
. North: Meridian Place Subdivision Number 1
. South: Commercial/ retail
. East: Fairview Terrace Mobile Home Park
. West: Settlers Village Re-subdivision
7. Roadway Improvements Adjacent To and Near the Site
The site has access to Fairview Avenue and two local residential stub streets, Teare Avenue and
Clarene Street.
Fairview Avenue is improved with 5-traffic lanes with no curb, gutter or sidewalk abutting the site.
There is curb, gutter and 5-foot concrete sidewalk located directly to the east of this property and was
constructed with carwash that is located on the northwest corner of Jericho Road and Fairview
Avenue.
Teare Avenue and Clarene Street are improved with 2-traffic lanes (37-feet of pavement) with curb,
gutter and 5-toot concrete sidewalk.
Jericho Road does not abut the site but would be utilized with the extension of Teare Avenue or
Clarene Street. Jericho Road is a collector roadway that is improved with 2-traffic lanes with curb,
gutter and 5-foot concrete sidewalk.
8. Existing Right~of-Way
Fairview Avenue is a principal arterial that currently has a total ot 110-feet ot right-of-way (55-feet
trom centerline).
Teare Avenue and Clarene Street are local residential roadways with a total of 60-feet of right-of-way
(30-feet from centerline).
10. Site History
On May 7,2000, the Commission reviewed and approved a preliminary plat, Teare Terrace, on this
site. Teare Terrace was proposed to be a 13-lot commercial and residential subdivision. This
development proposed to extend Clarene Street into the property and extend south to connect to
Fairview Avenue. Teare Avenue was proposed to extend into the site as a cul-de-sac on the
property.
11. Five Year Work Program
There are no improvements in the area that are scheduled in the Five Year Work Program.
12. Signal Location
The District has chosen the location of the signal at the commercial/industrial roadway and Fairview
Avenue intersection due to the fact that:
. This location is at the halt-mile
. This location will serve more vehicle trips per day
. This location will pull vehicle trips per day off of Jericho Street (a collector roadway with front
on housing) and will place the vehicles on a commerciallindustrial roadway
. This location will provide the surrounding residential homes with access to a signal
4
. This location can serve more vehicle trips per day on the North side of Fairview Avenue than
on the south side of Fairview Avenue
B. Findings for Consideration
1. Right-of-Way and Sidewalk
District policy requires 120-feet of right-of-way on arterial roadways (Figure 72-F1 B). This right-of-
way allows for the construction ot a 7 -lane roadway with curb, gutter, 5-foot concrete detached
sidewalks and bike lanes.
F airview Avenue is not listed as a proposed project in the District's currently adopted Five-Year Work
Program or in the currently adopted 20-year Capital Improvements Plan. As such, the applicant
cannot receive reimbursement for dedicated right-ot-way trom available collected impact tees. The
applicant shall do one of the following:
a. Dedicate by donation an additional 5-feet of right-of-way along Fairview Avenue, and construct a
minimum 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk along Fairview Avenue, located a minimum of 53-feet trom
the centerline of the right-of-way.
b. Do not dedicate additional right-of-way, but construct a minimum 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk
along Fairview Avenue, located a minimum of 53-feet trom the centerline ot the right-of-way, in an
easement provided to the District.
c. Do not dedicate additional right-of-way, but construct a minimum 5-toot wide concrete sidewalk
along Fairview Avenue, located at the back edge of the existing right-of-way. Accomplish all
necessary adjustments to properly accommodate existing drainage and utilities.
2. Roadway Offsets
District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 300-feet trom an
arterial roadway (measured centerline to centerline).
The applicant is proposing to construct a commerciallindustrial roadway that intersects with Fairview
Avenue 310-feet east otthe west property line. This roadway location meets District policy and
should be approved with this application.
3. Street Sections
District policy 7202.8 and 72-F1 S, requires roadways abutting commercial developments to be
constructed as a 40-toot street section with curb, gutter and 5-foot concrete sidewalk within 54-feet of
right-of-way.
The applicant is proposing to construct a commercial/industrial roadway that extends from Fairview
Avenue to the north. This roadway is proposed to cul-de-sac just before the proposed multi-family
residential apartment complex. This roadway will also provide a link that will connect into Teare
Avenue.
The proposed commerciallindustrial roadway that the applicant is proposing will consist of a 40-foot
street section that includes 2-travellanes, a center turn lane, curb, gutter and 5-foot concrete
sidewalk within 54-feet of right-of-way. The proposed street section meets District policy and should
be approved with this application.
5
4. Driveways
District policy F2-F5, requires driveways located on collector or arterial roadways with a speed limit of
35 to align or offset a minimum of 150-teet trom any existing or proposed driveway.
District policy F2-F4 (1) and 72-F4 (2), requires driveways located on commerciallindustrial roadways
to offset a controlled and/or uncontrolled intersection a minimum of 50-teet (measured near edge to
near edge).
District policy 7207.9.3 restricts commercial driveways with daily traffic volumes over 1,000 vehicles
to a maximum width ot 35-feet. Most commercial driveways will be constructed as curb-cut type
facilities if located on local streets. Curb return type driveways with 15-toot radii will be required for
driveways accessing collector and arterial roadways.
Fairview Avenue Drivewav
The applicant is proposing to construct one 30-foot wide driveway on Fairview Avenue. This
driveway is proposed to intersect Fairview Avenue approximately 205-feet west of the east property
line. This driveway meets District policy and should be approved with this application.
Commercial/Industrial Street Drivewavs
The applicant is proposing to construct thirteen driveways on the proposed commerciallindustrial
roadway. The driveways are proposed to be constructed in the tOllowing locations.
· Driveway number 1 is proposed to intersect the commerciallindustrial roadway
approximately 54-feet north ot Fairview Avenue. This driveway is proposed to be 25-
teet in width.
· Driveway number 2 and 3 are proposed to intersect the commerciallindustrial
roadway approximately 175-feet north of Fairview Avenue. These driveways are
proposed to align with one another. These driveways are proposed to be 17 -feet in
width.
· Driveway number 4 is proposed to intersect the commerciallindustrial roadway
approximately 235-teet north ot Fairview Avenue. This driveway is proposed to be
21-teet in width.
· Driveway number 5 is proposed to intersect the commerciallindustrial roadway that
extends north from Fairview Avenue approximately 580-feet north of Fairview
Avenue. This driveway is proposed to be 22-feet in width.
· Driveway number 6 is proposed to extend directly north ot the commerciallindustrial
roadway and proposed to intersect the northern portion of the cul-de-sac. This
driveway is proposed to be 45-feet in width.
· Driveway number 7 is proposed to intersect the commerciallindustrial roadway that
runs east and west and is proposed to be located approximately 50-feet east of the
commerciallindustrial roadway that extends from Fairview Avenue to the north. This
driveway is proposed to be 27-feet in width.
· Driveway number 8 is proposed to intersect the commerciallindustrial roadway that
runs east and west and is proposed to be located approximately 255-feet east ot the
commerciallindustrial roadway that extends from Fairview Avenue to the north. This
driveway is proposed to be 20-teet in width
· Driveway number 9 is proposed to intersect the commerciallindustrial roadway that
runs east and west and is proposed to be located approximately 430-teet east of the
commerciallindustrial roadway that extends from Fairview Avenue to the north. This
driveway are proposed to be 25-feet in width.
6
· Driveways number 10 and number 11 are proposed to be 30-teet in width and
located on the east and west side of the commerciallindustrial roadway just north of
the proposed roundabout.
· Driveway number 12 and 13 are proposed to be 30-teet in width and located on the
east and west side of the commerciallindustrial roadway approximately 160-feet
north ot the proposed roundabout.
All ot the proposed driveway locations meet District policy in regard to location.
All of the proposed driveway widths meet District policy EXCEPT for driveway number 6. Driveway
number 6 should be constructed a maximum of 35-feet in width.
5. All Driveways
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 tull width and at least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of the
roadway and install pavement tapers with 15-toot radii abutting the existing roadway edge.
6. Stub Streets
District policy 7203.5.1 and 7205.5 requires stub streets to provide intra-neighborhood circulation and
to provide access to adjoining parcels.
District policy 7203.3.2 requires an existing street or a street in an approved preliminary plat, which
extends at a boundary of a proposed development to be extended into that development.
The applicant is proposing to extend Teare Avenue. This extension will provide a connection from
Teare Avenue to Fairview Avenue. The extension of Teare Avenue meets the goals and intent ot
District policy and has the supportive ot District staff.
The District held a neighborhood meeting on Thursday March 20,2003. The Teare Avenue extension
was approved by the Meridian City Council on March 25, 2003 after a number ot neighborhood
concerns arose.
Modification of Policv
The applicant is proposing to terminate Clarene Street at its current location and construct temporary
bollards for emergency access only. District policy requires that stub streets be constructed and/or
extended to adjoining properties to provide reasonable access and intra-neighborhood connectivity.
Staff would generally support the extension ot Clarene Street into the site, but due to the fact that the
applicant is extending Teare Avenue to the residential neighborhood that is located to the northeast,
staff is supportive ot the applicant's proposal to construct bollards at the terminus of Clarene Street.
With the construction of bollards, Clarene Street will be one-lot and less than 150-teet in depth,
therefore, the applicant will not be required to construct a temporary turnaround.
6. Turnarounds
District policy 7204.9.2 requires turnarounds to be constructed to provide a minimum turning radius of
55-teet.
The applicant is proposing to dedicate a hammerhead turnaround at the west end of Clarene Street
on the applicant's property. This hammerhead turnaround will function as the property's frontage until
the preliminary plat is submitted and the roadways are formally dedicated. This hammerhead
turnaround is required to have bollards installed at the terminus of Clarene Street where the
7
hammerhead begins. The applicant should also enter into a license agreement for the maintenance
of the hammerhead turnaround on Clarene Street due to the fact that the District will be unable to
access the turnaround.
The applicant is proposing to provide a permanent "hammerhead" easement to the District at the
terminus of North Lark Avenue. This easement is acceptable to the District but must be approved by
the Meridian Fire Department. The applicant should provide a permanent "hammerhead" easement
to the District at the terminus of the commercial/industrial roadway and provide documentation to the
District showing the review and approval of this configuration from the Meridian Fire Department.
7. Roundabout
The applicant is proposing to construct a roundabout within the commercial/industrial roadway
approximately 530-feet north ot Fairview Avenue.
The roundabout should be designed with 21-toot street sections on either side of the center island.
The applicant will be required to dedicate sufficient right-of-way on either side ot an island.
Coordinate the size and design ot the roundabout with traffic services staff.
8. Signalization
The applicant is proposing to construct a new signal at the intersection ot Fairview Avenue and the
commerciallindustrial roadway that extends north into the site. The signal is proposed at the halt
mile. The traffic study determined that the warrants would be met and that the existing signals in the
area would not be significantly impacted by the new signal. The District will contribute the hardware
necessary tor the construction ot the new signal and any related roadway improvements. The
applicant should plan, construct and install the signal that is proposed at the intersection of Fairview
Avenue and the commerciallindustrial roadway that extends north into the site.
C. Site Specific Conditions of Approval
1. The applicant shall do one of the following:

or any other person objecting to any final action taken by the Commission may request
reconsideration of that action, provided the request is not for a reconsideration of an action previously
requested to be reconsidered, an action whose provisions have been partly and materially carried
out, or an action that has created a contractual relationship with third parties.
a. Only a Commission member who voted with the prevailing side can move for reconsideration,
but the motion may be seconded by any Commissioner and is voted on by all Commissioners
present.
It a motion to reconsider is made and seconded it is subject to a motion to postpone to a
certain time.
b. The request must be in writing and delivered to the Secretary of the Highway District no later
than 3:00 p.m. on the day prior to the Commission's next scheduled regular meeting following
the meeting at which the action to be reconsidered was taken. Upon receipt of the request,
the Secretary shall cause the same to be placed on the agenda tor that next scheduled
regular Commission meeting.
c. The request for reconsideration must be supported by written documentation setting forth new
facts and information not presented at the earlier meeting, or a changed situation that has
developed since the taking of the earlier vote, or information establishing an error ot tact or
law in the earlier action. The request may also be supported by oral testimony at the meeting.
d. If a motion to reconsider passes, the effect is the original matter is in the exact position it
occupied the moment before it was voted on originally. It will normally be returned to ACHD
staff for further review. The Commission may set the date ot the meeting at which the matter
is to be returned. The Commission shall only take action on the original matter at a meeting
where the agenda notice so provides.
e. At the meeting where the original matter is again on the agenda for Commission action,
interested persons and ACHD staff may present such written and oral testimony as the
President of the Commission determines to be appropriate, and the Commission may take
any action the majority of the Commission deems advisable.
f. If a motion to reconsider passes, the applicant may be charged a reasonable fee, to cover
administrative costs, as established by the Commission.
