D. Findings for Consideration
1. Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan (TMISAP)
The transportation element of the TMISAP is to guide transportation decisions in the Ten Mile
Interchange Area. It was developed concurrently with the Land Use and Design Elements and has
been designed to preserve the integrity of the arterial road system and the Ten Mile interchange;
provide for the use of public transit; enhance pedestrian and bicycle mobility and accessibility; and
create transportation infrastructure and promote land use patterns that encourage the sustainable
use of resources and reduces demands on natural resources.
The TMISAP recommends the construction of an east/west collector roadway through the site.
2. San Marco Way
a. Existing Conditions: San Marco Way is improved with 2-travel lanes, vertical curb, gutter, an
8-foot wide planter strip, and 5-foot wide sidewalk abutting the site. There is 66-feet of right-of-
way for San Marco Way (33-feet from centerline).
b. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is not proposing any improvements to San Marco Way
abutting the site.
c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: San Marco Way is fully improved abutting the site;
therefore, no frontage improvements or right-of-way dedication should be required as part of
this application.
Consistent with District Minor Improvements policy, the applicant should be required to repair
or replace any damaged or deteriorated transportation facilities abutting the site on San Marco
Way in accordance with the current version of PROWAG.
3. Zimmerman Way
a. Existing Conditions: Zimmerman Way is improved with 2-travel lanes, rolled curb, gutter, an
8-foot wide planter strip, and 5-foot wide sidewalk abutting the site. There is 57-feet of right-of-
way for Zimmerman Way (29-feet from centerline).
b. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is not proposing any improvements abutting the site on
Zimmerman Way.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: Zimmerman Way is fully improved abutting the site;
therefore, no frontage improvements or right-of-way dedication should be required as part of
this application.
Consistent with District Minor Improvements policy, the applicant should be required to repair
or replace any damaged or deteriorated transportation facilities abutting the site on Zimmerman
Way in accordance with the current version of PROWAG.
4. Internal Local Streets (27-foot Streets)
a. Existing Conditions: There are no existing roadways internal to the site. There is an existing
27-foot wide curb-return type driveway approach located in alignment with Santa Fe Street on
the west side of Zimmerman Way across from the site.
b. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to extend the existing 27-foot wide driveway
approach located into the site as a 27-foot wide local street section with curb and gutter within
31-feet of right-of-way with an 8-foot wide planter strip and 5-foot wide detached sidewalk.
The applicant is proposing to construct internal roadways as 27-foot wide local street sections
with curb and gutter within 31-feet of right-of-way with an 8-foot wide planter strip and 5-foot
wide detached sidewalk.
6 Newkirk East/ MPP24-0018 / H-2024-0043
The applicant is proposing to provide 13-foot wide sidewalk easements from 2-feet behind back
of curb to 2-feet behind back of sidewalk for all internal roadways.
The applicant is proposing to terminate Midford Place in a cul-de-sac turnaround with a 48-foot
radius.
c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal to construct internal roadways
as 27-foot wide street sections and provide sidewalk easements meets District policy and
should be approved, as proposed. The applicant should be required to provide written Fire
Department approval for use of the reduced street section. Per District policy As parking is
prohibited on one side of all internal 27-foot wide roadways the applicant should be required
coordinate a signage program with District Development Review staff to install "NO PARKING"
signs on one side of the roadways.
The applicant's proposal to terminate Midford Place in a cul-de-sac turnaround with a 48-foot

with this application, direct lot access is prohibited to this roadway and should be noted on the final
plat.
7 Newkirk East/ MPP24-0018 / H-2024-0043
E. 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-alternatives.pdf for additional
information).
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. San Marco Way
Collector Street Policy: District policy 7206.2.1 states that the developer is responsible for
improving all collector frontages adjacent to the site or internal to the development as required
below, regardless of whether access is taken to all of the adjacent streets. Improvements shall
include transitional segments in accordance with ADA and the current version of PROWAG.
Master Street Map and Typologies Policy: District policy 7206.5 states that if the collector street
is designated with a typology on the Master Street Map, that typology shall be considered for the
required street improvements. If there is no typology listed in the Master Street Map, then standard
street sections shall serve as the default. ACHD reserves the right to require bicycle and pedestrian
facilities above those identified in the Livable Streets Design Guide and Master Street Map to
ensure the safest facility possible based on current best practice.
Street Section and Right-of-Way Policy: District policy 7206.5.2 states that the standard right-
of-way width for collector streets shall typically be 50 to 70-feet, depending on the location and
width of the sidewalk or multi-use path and the location and use of the roadway. The right-of-way
width may be reduced, with District approval, if the sidewalk or multi-use path is located within an
easement; in which case the District will require a minimum right-of-way width that extends 2-feet
behind the back-of-curb on each side.
The standard street section shall be 47-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb). This width typically
accommodates a single travel lane in each direction, a continuous center left-turn lane, and bike
lanes. If a multi-use path is determined to be the required treatment, the street section shall be
reduced to 37-feet. If it is determined a continuous center left-turn lane is not appropriate and a
path is installed, the street section may be reduced to 26-feet.
8 Newkirk East/ MPP24-0018 / H-2024-0043
Residential Collector Policy: District policy 7206.5.2 states that the standard street section for a
collector in a residential area shall be 36-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb). The District will
consider a 33-foot or 29-foot street section with written fire department approval and taking into
consideration the needs of the adjacent land use, the projected volumes, the need for bicycle lanes,
and on-street parking.
At the discretion of Traffic Engineering staff, adjustments may be made to the street section,
including removal of the continuous center turn lanes or modification to lane widths, where no
driveways or intersections are present or to ensure adequate space for pathways and buffers.
Pedestrian Facilities: District policy 7206.5.6 requires a concrete sidewalk at least 5-feet wide to
be constructed on both sides of all collector streets. A parkway strip at least 8-feet wide between
the back-of-curb and street edge of the sidewalk is required to provide increased safety and
protection of pedestrians. Consult the District's planter width policy if trees are to be placed within
the parkway strip. Sidewalk constructed next to the back-of-curb shall be a minimum of 7-feet wide.
Alternatively, on roadways identified as low-stress bikeways in ACHD's Bike Master Plan, a
minimum 10-foot wide multi-use path may be required in lieu of sidewalks. ACHD Development
Review staff will be responsible for determining the required facility. The path shall be built 8-feet
behind the back-of-curb as measured to the closest edge of the path. Street trees are encouraged
between the pedestrian facility and the roadway when irrigation and maintenance will occur by the
adjacent property owner or HOA through an approved license agreement. Vertical hardscape
alternatives to street trees may be considered in the buffer space when street trees are not
practicable.
Pedestrian facilities should be parallel to the adjacent roadway. Pedestrian facilities will only be
allowed to deviate from a straight line when authorized by Development Review staff to meet site
specific conditions (i.e., street trees, utilities, etc.).
Appropriate easements shall be provided if public sidewalks or multi-use paths are placed out of
the right-of-way. The easement shall encompass the entire area between the right-of-way line and
2-feet behind the back edge of the sidewalk or multi-use path. Sidewalks shall either be located
wholly within the public right-of-way or wholly within an easement.
Curb ramps or blended transitions shall be provided to connect the pedestrian access route at each
pedestrian street crossing in accordance with the current version of PROWAG. Provide detectable
warning surface in accordance with the current version of PROWAG.
ACHD Master Street Map: ACHD Policy Section 3111.1 requires the Master Street Map (MSM)
guide the right-of-way acquisition, collector street requirements, and specific roadway features
required through development. This segment of San Marco Way is designated in the MSM as a
Towncenter Collector with 2-lanes and on-street bike lanes, a 36-foot street section within 66-feet
of right-of-way.
5. Zimmerman Way & Internal Local Streets
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.
9 Newkirk East/ MPP24-0018 / H-2024-0043
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.
• 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.
10 Newkirk East/ MPP24-0018 / H-2024-0043
Sidewalk Policy: District Policy 7207.5.7 states that five-foot wide concrete sidewalk is required
on both sides of all local streets, 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.
On-street parking may be removed at any time at the discretion of ACHD.
6. Roadway Offsets
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).
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
11 Newkirk East/ MPP24-0018 / H-2024-0043
The increased width reduces conflict at the intersection by providing more space for users at the
bottom of the ramp.
F. Standard Conditions of Approval
1. All proposed irrigation facilities shall be located outside of the ACHD right-of-way (including all
easements). Any existing irrigation facilities shall be relocated outside of the ACHD right-of-way
(including all easements).
2. Private Utilities including sewer or water systems are prohibited from being located within the ACHD
right-of-way.
3. In accordance with District policy, 7203.3, the applicant may be required to update any existing non-
compliant pedestrian improvements abutting the site to meet current Americans with Disabilities
Act (ADA), Public Right-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG), ISPWC, or ACHD
requirements . The applicant's engineer should provide documentation of compliance to District
Development Review staff for review.
4. Replace any existing damaged curb, gutter and sidewalk and any that may be damaged during the
construction of the proposed development. Contact Construction Services at 387-6280 (with file
number) for details.
5. A license agreement and compliance with the District's Tree Planter policy is required for all
landscaping proposed within ACHD right-of-way or easement areas.
6. All utility relocation costs associated with improving street frontages abutting the site shall be borne
by the developer.
7. It is the responsibility of the applicant to verify all existing utilities within the right-of-way. The
applicant at no cost to ACHD shall repair existing utilities damaged by the applicant. The applicant
shall be required to call DIGLINE (1-811-342-1585) at least two full business days prior to breaking
ground within ACHD right-of-way. The applicant shall contact ACHD Traffic Operations 387-6190
in the event any ACHD conduits (spare or filled)are compromised during any phase of construction.
8. Utility street cuts in pavement less than five years old are not allowed unless approved in writing by
the District. Contact the District's Utility Coordinator at 387-6258 (with file numbers) for details.
9. All design and construction shall be in accordance with the ACHD Policy Manual, ISPWC Standards
and approved supplements, Construction Services procedures and all applicable ACHD Standards
unless specifically waived herein. An engineer registered in the State of Idaho shall prepare and
certify all improvement plans.
10. Construction, use and property development shall be in conformance with all applicable
requirements of ACHD prior to District approval for occupancy.
11. No change in the terms and conditions of this approval shall be valid unless they are in writing and
signed by the applicant or the applicant's authorized representative and an authorized
representative of ACHD. The burden shall be upon the applicant to obtain written confirmation of
any change from ACHD.
12. If the site plan or use should change in the future, ACHD Planning Review will review the site plan
and may require additional improvements to the transportation system at that time. Any change in
the planned use of the property, which is the subject of this application, shall require the applicant
to comply with ACHD Policy and Standard Conditions of Approval in place at that time unless a
waiver/variance of the requirements or other legal relief is granted by the ACHD Commission.
G. Conclusions of Law
1. The proposed site plan is approved, if all of the Site Specific and Standard Conditions of Approval
are satisfied.
12 Newkirk East/ MPP24-0018 / H-2024-0043
2. ACHD requirements are intended to assure that the proposed use/development will not place an
undue burden on the existing vehicular transportation system within the vicinity impacted by the
proposed development.
