Traffic Impact Study Kittelson & Associates, Inc. prepared a traffic impact study (TIS) for the proposed Dayspring Subdivision. An executive summary of the findings as presented by Kittelson &Associates, Inc. can be found as attachment 1. ACHD has reviewed the submitted traffic impact study for consistency with ACHD policies and practices and may have additional requirements beyond what is noted in the TIS. Staff comments and recommendations on the submitted traffic impact study can be found below. a. Policy: Mitigation Proposals: Mitigation recommendations shall be provided within the report. At a minimum, for each roadway segment and intersection that does not meet the minimum acceptable level of service planning threshold or v/c ratio, the report must discuss feasible measures to avoid or reduce the impact to the system. To be considered adequate, measures should be specific and feasible. Mitigation may also include: • Revision to the Phasing Plan to coincide with the District's planning Capital Projects. • Reducing the scope and/or scale of the project. Alternative Mitigation Measures: 7106.7.3 states that if traditional mitigation measures such as roadway widening and intersection improvements are infeasible as determined by ACHD, the TIS may recommend alternative mitigation measures. Alternative mitigation measures shall demonstrate that impacts from the project will be offset. • If the impacted roadway segments and/or intersections are programmed as funded in the Integrated Five Year Work Plan (IFYWP) or the Capital Improvements Plan (CIP); no alternative mitigation is required. • If the impacted roadway segments and/or intersections are not programmed in either the IFYWP or the CIP; the applicant may (i) analyze the shoulder hour, defined as the hour prior to after the determined peak hour within the two-hour peak period, (sometime analyzed as hour before or after peak period) and (ii) provide a safety analysis to determine alternative mitigation requirements. o If the impacted roadway segments and intersections meet the minimum acceptable level of service planning thresholds in the shoulder hour, the applicant may suggest feasible alternative mitigation measures beyond improvements from District policy, such as: off-site sidewalks, off-site bike facilities, connectivity, safety improvements, etc. within 1.5 miles of the proposed development. o If the shoulder hour planning thresholds are exceeded the applicant may request to enter into a Development Agreement and pay into the Priority Corridor Fund an amount determined by the ACHD to offset impacts from the project. • Alternative Mitigation may also include: o Revision to the Phasing Plan to coincide with the District's future Capital Projects. o Reducing the scope and/or scale of the project. Level of Service Planning Thresholds: District Policy 7205.3.1 states that Level of Service Planning Thresholds have been established for principal arterials and minor arterials within ACHD's Capital Improvement Plan and are also listed in section 7106. Unless otherwise required to provide a Traffic Impact Study under section 7106, a proposed development with site traffic less than 10% of the existing downstream roadway or intersection peak hour traffic 10 Dayspring Subdivision / MPP24-0024 / H-2024- 0070 shall not be required to provide mitigation for a roadway or intersection that currently exceeds the minimum acceptable level of service planning threshold or V/C ratio. b. TIS Findings: Staff has reviewed the submitted traffic impact study (TIS) 2024 Existing Traffic Conditions All study intersections and roadways were found to meet ACHD operating standards and planning thresholds during weekday AM and PM peak hours. 2032 Background Traffic Conditions All study intersections and roadways were found to meet ACHD operating standards and planning thresholds during weekday AM and PM peak hours with the ACHD Ustick Road corridor project programmed to be constructed in 2026. 2032 Total Traffic Conditions 2032 total traffic conditions were found to be consistent with the findings of 2032 background traffic conditions with the exception of the Ustick Road and Morgan Grove Lane/Dayspring Way (Site Access A) intersection. The TIA found that northbound left movements still operated within ACHD operational thresholds with a V/C of 0.98 during weekday PM peak hour with the programmed Ustick Road widening project in place. However, a signal and multi-lane roundabout were evaluated as potential improvements due to safety and operational concerns. Site Access Evaluation The turn lane analysis warranted an eastbound right-turn lane and westbound left-turn lane at the Ustick Road and Morgan Grove Lane/Dayspring Way (Site Access A) intersection. There is an ACHD planned improvement project for the widening of Ustick Road to 5-lanes in 2027. Due to the planned project, it is infeasible to construct the recommended turn lanes. Furthermore, a two-way left turn lane (TWLTL) will be constructed as a part of the planned ACHD project. Staff recommends the construction of a two-way left turn lane (TWLTL) at the McDermott Bypass and McMurtrey Street (Site Access B) intersection. c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: Staff comments are provided by Development Services staff. Traffic Conditions Based on the 2024 existing traffic, 2032 background traffic, and 2032 total traffic conditions, the TIA does not recommend any mitigations outside of the warranted turn lanes below. Site Access Evaluations Based on the TIA, the applicant should be required to install an eastbound right-turn lane and westbound left turn lane at Site Access A, the intersection of Ustick Road and Morgan Grove Lane/Dayspring Way. The applicant should also be required to construct a two-way left turn lane (TWLTL) at the McDermott Bypass and McMurtrey Street (Site Access B) intersection. 11 Dayspring Subdivision / MPP24-0024 / H-2024- 0070 E. Findings for Consideration 1. Ustick Road a. Existing Conditions: Ustick Road is improved with 2-travel lanes, vertical curb, gutter, and no curb, gutter or sidewalk abutting the site. There is 49-feet of right-of-way for Ustick Road (24- feet from centerline). b. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct a 10-foot wide multi-use pathway located 52-feet from centerline on Ustick Road abutting the site. c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District policy, however, ACHD has a planned improvement project for Ustick Road to be widened to 5-lanes between McDermott Bypass and Black Cat Road scheduled to be constructed in 2027. A road trust deposit in the amount of $176,100.00 ($155 X 1,033-feet + 10% contingency) should be provided for improvements on Ustick Road (17-feet of pavement and a 10-foot wide multi-use pathway). The road trust deposit will be refunded after 10 years if Ustick Road is not improved abutting the site. The applicant should be required to dedicate right-of-way to total 50-feet from centerline on Ustick Road. 2. McDermott Bypass a. Existing Conditions: McDermott Bypass was constructed abutting the site as part of the Idaho Transportation Department's (ITD) State Highway 16 (SH-16) extension project. This roadway was constructed to maintain local access previously provided by McDermott Road, which has been demolished in this area to accommodate the extension of SH-16. ITD has constructed the McDermott Bypass as a 2-lane rural street section with 30-feet of pavement, gravel shoulders, and no curb, gutter, or sidewalk. ITD will dedicate this roadway to ACHD when completed and accepted by ACHD. To-date, this roadway has not yet been accepted by ACHD as a public roadway. Because the McDermott Bypass has not been accepted as an ACHD roadway at this time. ACHD has no jurisdiction over this roadway. b. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is not proposing any improvements to McDermott Bypass abutting the site. c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District policy and should be approved, as proposed. Once the roadway is under ACHD's jurisdiction, McDermott Bypass/Road should be improved, as half of a 36-foot collector street section with vertical curb, gutter, and 7-foot wide attached (or 5-foot wide detached with a minimum 8-foot wide planter strip) concrete sidewalks abutting the site. If a 10-foot wide multi-use pathway is required by the City of Meridan, then half of a 26-foot wide street section may be constructed with vertical curb, gutter, and a minimum 8-foot wide planter strip between back of curb and the multi-use pathway. The applicant may submit plans for review and approval but permits to work in the right-of-way will not be issued until McDermott Bypass/Road has been accepted by ACHD. If building permits are desired prior to ACHD's acceptance of the roadway then ACHD should hold a financial surety for the roadway improvements. The amount of the surety would be determined by ACHD as part of the plan review process. The applicant has proposed to construct a local street, McMurtrey Street, to intersect McDermott Bypass/Road located 330-feet south of Ustick Road and in a location that meets ACHD policy. If ITD allows the intersection of McMurtrey Street with McDermott Bypass/Road prior to ACHD taking jurisdiction of the roadway, then the applicant should be required to construct a two-way 12 Dayspring Subdivision / MPP24-0024 / H-2024- 0070 left turn lane and a dedicated right turn lane on McDermott Bypass/Road at McMurtrey Street. The turn lanes should also be constructed if the roadway is under the jurisdiction of ACHD. If ITD does not allow the intersection, then the applicant should be required to stub McMurtrey Street 330-feet south of Ustick Road (measured centerline to centerline). The applicant should be required to install a sign at the terminus of the roadway stating "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE." If McMurtrey Street extends over a length over 150-feet from the nearest street intersection, the applicant should be required to construct a cul-de-sac at its terminus with a minimum 50-foot wide turning radius. When ACHD gains jurisdiction of McDermott Bypass, the applicant should be required to extend McMurtrey Street to intersect McDermott Bypass. 3. Dayspring Way a. Existing Conditions: Dayspring Way does not exist within or abutting the site. b. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct the entry portion of Dayspring Way with two 21-foot wide travel lanes, a 12-foot wide landscape median, vertical curb, gutter, an 8-foot wide landscape strip, and a 10-foot wide detached pathway. The applicant is proposing to dedicate 68-feet of right-of-way for the entry portion of Dayspring Way. The applicant is proposing to construct the remaining portion of Dayspring Way as a 33-foot wide collector roadway with vertical curb, gutter, an 8-foot wide landscape strip, and a 10-foot wide detached sidewalk. The applicant is proposing to dedicate 47-feet of right-of-way for Dayspring Way. c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal for the entry portion of Dayspring Way meets District policy and should be approved, as proposed. The applicant should be required to plat the landscape median as right-of-way owned by ACHD and the developer or homeowners association should enter into for a license agreement if any landscaping is to be placed within the median. The applicant should provide written fire department approval for use of the reduced street section. The applicant's proposal for remaining portions of Dayspring Way does not meet District policy and should not be approved, as proposed with exception of the 10-foot wide detached sidewalk.. The applicant should be required to construct Dayspring Way as a 26-foot wide collector with vertical curb, gutter, an 8-foot wide planter strip, and 10-foot wide multi-use pathways on both sides of the roadway. For detached sidewalk/multi-use pathways, the applicant may reduce right-of-way to 2-feet behind back of curb and should provide a permanent easement that extends from 2-feet behind back of curb to 2-feet behind back of sidewalk/pathway. Although not recommended in the TIS, the applicant should be required to construct a dedicated right turn lane and center left turn lane on Dayspring Way at McMurtrey Street. 4. Internal Local Roadways a. Existing Conditions: There are no existing local streets within the site. b. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct the entrance of Olympia Avenue, Belle Mead Drive, and Saint Gardens Street with two 17-foot wide travel lanes, a 12-foot wide landscape median, 8-foot wide planter strips, and 5-foot wide detached sidewalk. The applicant is proposing to construct a portion of Corbin Avenue and Patney Avenue south of McMurtrey Street as 27-foot wide street sections with curb, gutter, and an 8-foot wide planter strip and 5-foot wide detached sidewalk on one side of the roadway and diagonal on-street parking and 5-foot wide sidewalk on the other side of the roadway. 13 Dayspring Subdivision / MPP24-0024 / H-2024- 0070 South of the proposed on-street parking, the applicant is proposing to construct the remaining portions of Corbin Avenue and Patney Avenue and all internal local roadways as 33-foot wide local streets within 47-feet of right-of-way with curb, gutter, an 8-foot wide planter strip, and 5- foot wide detached sidewalk. The applicant is proposing to construct a cul-de-sac turnaround at the terminus of Carmin Court. c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal for the entrances of Olympia Avenue, Belle Mead Drive, and Saint Gardens Drive does not meet District policy and should not be approved, as proposed. The applicant should be required to construct the travel lanes to a minimum width of 20-feet. The applicant should be required to plat the landscape medians as right-of-way owned by ACHD. The developer or homeowners association should enter into a license agreement if any landscaping is desired within the medians. The applicant should provide written fire department approval for use of the reduced street sections. The applicant's proposal to construct a portion of Corbin Avenue and Patney Avenue as 27-foot wide street sections with diagonal on-street parking does not meet District policy and should not be approved, as proposed. Per District policy 5104.4.4, diagonal on-street parking may be considered in central business districts where diagonal or perpendicular on-street parking is common in the vicinity and the existing activities are not able to accommodate off-street parking. Staff does not believe these specifications are met through this development to allow diagonal on-street parking. If additional parking is needed to accommodate the proposed commercial land uses, then on-site parking lots should be provided. The applicant should be required to construct the entirety of Corbin Avenue and Patney Avenue between McMurtrey and Fairborough Street as 33-foot wide streets with curb, gutter, and a minimum 5-foot wide sidewalk. Parallel on-street parking is allowed on both sides of a 33-foot wide street section. On-street parking cannot be designated or signed for a specific user and can be removed at any time at the discretion of ACHD. The applicant's proposal to construct internal local roadways as 33-foot wide streets meets District policy and should be approved, as proposed. The cul-de-sac turnaround at the terminus of Carmin Court should be constructed with a minimum turning radius of 50-feet. For detached sidewalk, the applicant may reduce right-of-way to 2-feet behind back of curb and should be required to provide a permanent right-of-way easement from 2-feet behind back of curb to extend to 2-feet behind back of sidewalk. For attached sidewalk, the applicant should be required to dedicate right-of-way to 2-feet behind back of sidewalk. 5. McMurtrey Street a. Existing Conditions: McMurtrey Street does not exist within or abutting to the site. b. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct McMurtrey Street as either a 36- foot wide commercial street with curb, gutter, an 8-foot wide planter strip, and 10-foot wide detached sidewalk on either side or as a 24-foot wide street with on-street diagonal parking, curb, gutter, and 10-foot wide attached sidewalk. c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal does not meet District policy and should not be approved, as proposed. The applicant should be required to construct the entirety of McMurtrey Street as a 36-foot wide commercial street with vertical curb, gutter, and a minimum of 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk. Parallel on-street parking is allowed on both sides of a 36-foot wide street section. On-street parking cannot be designated or signed for a specific user and can be removed at any time at the discretion of ACHD. 14 Dayspring Subdivision / MPP24-0024 / H-2024- 0070 The applicant's proposal to construct diagonal on-street parking does not meet District policy and should not be approved, as proposed. Per District policy 5104.4.4, diagonal on-street parking may be considered in central business districts where diagonal or perpendicular on- street parking is common in the vicinity and the existing activities are not able to accommodate off-street parking. Staff does not believe these specifications are met through this development to allow diagonal on-street parking. If additional parking is needed to accommodate the proposed commercial land uses, then on-site parking lots should be provided. Staff anticipates the applicant's proposal for McMurtrey Street will generate cut-through traffic between McDermott Bypass and Dayspring Way. The applicant should coordinate with ACHD to minimize potential cut-through traffic on McMurtrey Street. For attached sidewalk, the applicant should be required to dedicate right-of-way to extend to 2- feet behind back of sidewalk. For detached sidewalk, the applicant may reduce right-of-way to 2-feet behind back of curb and should provide a permanent right-of-way easement from 2-feet behind back of curb to extend 2-feet behind back of sidewalk. 6. Alleys a. Existing Conditions: There are no alleys within or abutting the site. b. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct seven 20-foot wide public alleys located as follows: • Alley A running north/south between McMurtrey Street and Fairborough Drive extending 700-feet. • Alley B running east/west between Corbin Avenue and Alley A. • Alley C running east/west between Patney Avenue and Corbin Avenue. • Alley D running north/south between McMurtrey Street and Bowmills Drive. • Alley E running east/west between Corbin Avenue and Alley F. • Alley F running north/south between Bowmills Drive and Fairborough Drive. • Alley G running east/west between Olympia Avenue and Dayspring Way 15 Dayspring Subdivision / MPP24-0024 / H-2024- 0070 W MCHURTREY ST Irk �iaw= +* —IIT AiLeyA Oxar 51 k } Alley afm IT ry ®aif 1# �IM7 %wF _®afiFrt i�F y� 9 * k k IO Ilf� a� Mum } I y �1�fQ y 14 Ulm4 I l Alley L�J r mY7Ff is■ I f�iwFF I 0 r � ! k k Y IOfll!

Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal for Alley B and Alley E meet District policy and should be approved, as proposed. However, Alley B and Alley E intersect Alley A and Alley F respectively, which do not meet District policy 7210.1 prohibiting alleys from providing sole access. Therefore, Alley A and Alley F should be required to be constructed as either a private alley or a standard public street. If private alleys are desired for Alley A and Alley F, then the intersecting alleys- Alley B and Alley E- should also be private. If Alley A and Alley F are desired to be public then they should be required to be constructed as standard 33-foot wide local roadways with curb, gutter, and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk. Alleys are required to intersect with local streets on either side. Staff recommends Alley A and Alley F be constructed as standard local roadways due to the alley intersections. The applicant's proposal for Alley C, Alley D, and Alley G do not meet District policy 7210.1 which prohibits alleys from providing sole access to lots. The above listed alleys may be constructed as either private roads/alleys or as 24-foot wide minor urban local streets. For minor urban local streets, the applicant should be required to construct a 24-foot wide street section with curb, gutter, and a 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk unless alternative pedestrian improvements are provided in the adjacent open space lots and a waiver of a sidewalk on the minor urban local street is approved by the City of Meridian. Parking is restricted on both sides of a minor urban local street, the applicant should be required to install "NO PARKING" signs on both sides of the roadway. Provide written approval from the Meridian Fire Department and the City of Meridian for use of the reduced street section. For private alleys, the applicant should be required to obtain the City of Meridian's approval. The applicant shall be required to pave the private roadway a minimum of 20 to 24-feet wide and at least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of all public streets. 17 Dayspring Subdivision / MPP24-0024 / H-2024- 0070 T— _I -W VCHURTREY 5T rsr �arrx �• wI ;-=Construct as pftvate ©�• [laar• +4 m' * 1 � r b Mates I • or 24-foot wide minor urban Y uwar ,� I y+ 1 i Mv■ UM I � i �_- -- I I�mar k ° m�• local roadway bcs �• tiw `- a mvr• 1* ;—=Construct as private ca I q,r,■ m r mal.r x mom■ "" a m-"if-"ifa — _ or 33-loot wide local roadway �. rT " r Ia IDvlai ;r �. mom. x -r 7Aup M 1.., m m o m e] I Ow• —=Construct as public ':' D . . .

Roadway Offsets a. Existing Conditions: There are no roadways internal to the site. b. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct Dayspring Way, a collector roadway, to intersect Ustick Road, a principal arterial, 916-feet east of McDermott Bypass (measured centerline to centerline). The applicant is proposing to construct all roadways intersecting Dayspring Way, a collector roadway, 330-feet or greater from any other proposed or existing roadways. The applicant is proposing to construct the public alley running north/south between McMurtrey Street and Fairborough Drive 107-feet west of Corbin Avenue (measured centerline to centerline). c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal to construct Dayspring Way to intersect Ustick Road meets District policy as there is a collector roadway designated in this location on the Master Street Map (MSM) and should be approved, as proposed. The applicant's proposal for roadways intersecting Dayspring Way meets District policy and should be approved, as proposed. The applicant's proposal for Alley A does not meet District policy and should not be approved, as proposed. Per Finding 6, Alley A does not meet policy and should be constructed as a public roadway. According to District policy 7207.4.2, the applicant should be required to offset Alley A, Corbin Avenue, and all proposed internal local roadways 125-feet from one another and any other proposed or existing roadways. 8. Stub Streets a. Existing Conditions: There are four local roadways stubbing to the site located as follows (measured centerline to centerline): • Tricia Way located 1,699-feet south of Ustick Road. • Tricia Way located 602-feet west of the site's east property line. • Classic Drive located 1,179-feet north of the site's south property line. • Tournament Drive located 285-feet north of the site's south property line. b. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to extend all stubbed streets into the site as 33-foot wide local streets with curb, gutter, an 8-foot wide planter strip, and 5-foot wide detached sidewalk. The applicant is proposing to stub Dayspring Way, a collector roadway, to the site's south property line located 27-feet east of the site's west property line (measured property line to centerline). The applicant is proposing to stub Bowmills Drive to the site's east property line located 678- feet south of Ustick Road (measured centerline to centerline). The applicant is proposing to stub Barnstead Way to the site's north property line located 143- feet east of the site's east property line (measured property line to centerline). The applicant is proposing to stub Deering Drive to the site's west property line located 901-feet north of the site's south property line (measured property line to centerline). c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District policy and should be approved, as proposed. 19 Dayspring Subdivision / MPP24-0024 / H-2024- 0070 Per District policy 7206.2.4.4, the applicant should be required to construct a temporary cul-de- sac turnaround at the terminus of Dayspring Way and Deering Drive as they extend beyond 150-feet from the nearest intersection. The temporary cul-de-sac turnaround should be paved and constructed with a minimum turning radius of 50-feet. Additionally, staff recommends that the applicant be required to construct an additional stub street to the site's south property line to provide local street access for future access and connectivity. If the roadway extends over 150-feet from the nearest street intersection, the applicant should be required to construct a temporary cul-de-sac turnaround at its terminus with a minimum turning radius of 50-feet. The applicant should be required to install a sign at the terminus of Dayspring Way stating, "THIS IS A DESIGNATED COLLECTOR ROADWAY. THIS STREET WILL BE EXTENDED AND WIDENDED IN THE FUTURE." The applicant should be required to install a sign at the termini of the local roadway stubs (McMurtrey Street, Bowmills Drive, Barnstead Way, Deering Drive, and the stub to the site's south property line) stating "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE." 9. Driveways 9.1 Ustick Road a. Existing Conditions: There are 3 existing driveways from the site onto Ustick Road located as follows (measured centerline to centerline): • A 12-foot wide unimproved driveway located 238-feet west of Morgan Grove Lane. • A 16-foot wide paved driveway located 495-feet west of Morgan Grove Lane. • A 16-foot wide paved driveway located 489-feet east of McDermott Bypass. b. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to close the existing driveways with a multi- use pathway. c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District policy. However, as per Finding #1, there is an ACHD project scheduled to be constructed on Ustick Road abutting the site in 2027. Therefore, improvements will not be constructed abutting the site until the Ustick Road widening project. The applicant should be required to close the existing driveways with landscaping. 9.2 Dayspring Way a. Existing Conditions: Dayspring Way does not exist internal to the site. b. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct a 27-foot wide curb-return type driveway in alignment with McMurtrey Street and a 26-foot wide curb-return type driveway in alignment with Dayspring Way. c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District policy and should be approved, as proposed. 9.3 McMurtrey Street a. Existing Conditions: McMurtrey Street does not exist internal to the site. b. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct two 23-foot wide curb-return type driveways onto McMurtrey Street located in alignment with Corbin Avenue and Payette Avenue. c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District policy and should be approved, as proposed. 20 Dayspring Subdivision / MPP24-0024 / H-2024- 0070 10. Traffic Calming a. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct bulb-outs on McMurtrey Street, Fairborough Drive, and Barnstead Way between Classic Drive and Avendel Drive. The applicant is proposing to construct Dayspring Way, a collector roadway, to a length greater than 750-feet in length. The applicant is proposing to construct the following roadways to a length greater than 750- feet: • Crossridge Street • Deering Drive • Barnstead Way between the site's north property line and Ridgeside Street. • Tricia Way between Crossridge Street and Classic Drive • Wolcott Way • Bebee River Way • Classic Drive between Tricia Way and Montgomery Avenue • Charles Drive between Classic Drive and Willowside Avenue. • Suncook Drive • Ravenscroft Drive b. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal to provide traffic calming on McMurtrey Street, Fairborough Drive, and Barnstead Way between Classic Drive and Avendel Drive meets District policy and should be approved, as proposed. The applicant's proposal for Dayspring Way does not meet District policy and should not be approved, as proposed. Staff has concerns over the length of Dayspring Way and believes the design of the roadway will necessitate future traffic calming implementation by ACHD. Per District policy 7206.3.8, staff recommends the applicant be required to provide traffic calming to discourage excessive speeds through the use of passive design elements approved by ACHD Traffic Services. The applicant's proposal to construct the above listed roadways to a length greater than 750- feet does not meet District Policy 7207.3.7, and should not be approved, as proposed. The applicant should be required to redesign the roadways to be less than 750-feet in length or provide traffic calming within the site including the use of passive design elements approved by ACHD Traffic Services. Speeds humps, valley gutters, stop signs, and cross drains are not an acceptable tool for traffic calming on new streets and will not be accepted as traffic calming. 11. Other Access Ustick Road is classified as a principal arterial roadway, Dayspring Way is classified as a collector roadway. Other than the access specifically approved with this application, direct lot access is prohibited to these roadways and should be noted on the final plat. 21 Dayspring Subdivision / MPP24-0024 / H-2024- 0070 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-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. Ustick Road Arterial Roadway Policy: District Policy 7205.2.1 states that the developer is responsible for improving all street frontages adjacent to the site regardless of whether or not access is taken to all of the adjacent streets. Improvements shall include transitional segments in accordance with the current version of PROWAG. Master Street Map and Typology Policy: District Policy 7205.5 states that the design of improvements for arterials shall be in accordance with District standards, including the Master Street Map, Livable Streets Design Guide, and the most current ACHD Livable Streets Performance Measures Plan as adopted by the ACHD Commission. The developer or engineer should contact the District before starting any design. Street Section and Right-of-Way Width Policy: District Policies 7205.2.1 & 7205.5.2 state The standard 5-lane street section shall be 59-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb). This width typically accommodates two travel lanes in each direction, a continuous center left-turn lane or landscaped median with intermittent turn lanes, and curbs and gutters. A 5-lane road shall also include a minimum 10-foot wide multi-use path on both sides with an 8-foot wide buffer from back-of-curb. Other bike facility treatments as defined in the ACHD Bike Master Plan may be approved at the discretion of the ACHD Development Review Supervisor. If an interim on-street bike lane is required in order to connect to existing facilities, the street section shall be 75-feet to allow for a 5-foot wide bike lane and 3-foot wide painted buffer. The standard right-of-way width for a 5-lane arterial is 100- feet. Right-of-Way Dedication: District Policy 7205.2 states that The District will provide compensation for additional right-of-way dedicated beyond the existing right-of-way along arterials listed as impact 22 Dayspring Subdivision / MPP24-0024 / H-2024- 0070 fee eligible in the adopted Capital Improvements Plan using available impact fee revenue in the Impact Fee Service Area. No compensation will be provided for right-of-way on an arterial that is not listed as impact fee eligible in the Capital Improvements Plan. The District may acquire additional right-of-way beyond the site-related needs to preserve a corridor for future capacity improvements, as provided in Section 7300. Pedestrian Facilities: District Policy 7205.5.7 requires a concrete sidewalk at least 5-feet wide are required on both sides of all arterial streets. A parkway strip at least 8-feet wide between the back- of-curb and street edge of the sidewalk is required to provide increased safety and protection of pedestrians. Alternatively, on roadways identified for improvement in the Capital Improvement Plan, a minimum 10-foot wide multi-use path may be required. The path shall be placed in accordance with planned buildout in the Master Street Map with a minimum 8-foot wide planter strip as measured to the closest edge of the path. Street trees are encouraged between the pedestrian facility and the roadway when irrigation and maintenance will occur by the adjacent property owner or HOA through an approved license agreement. Consult the District's planter width policy if trees are to be placed within the parkway strip. In some instances, to match existing conditions, a minimum 7-foot wide sidewalk may be constructed next to the back-of-curb. ACHD Development Review staff will be responsible for determining the required facility. Vertical hardscape alternatives to street trees may be considered in the buffer space when street trees are not practicable. Detached sidewalks and multi-use paths are encouraged and should be parallel to the adjacent roadway. Pedestrian facilities will only be allowed to deviate from a straight line parallel to the roadway when authorized by Development Review staff to accommodate site specific conditions (i.e., street trees, utilities, etc.). Appropriate easements shall be provided if public pedestrian facilities are placed out of the right-of- way. The easement shall encompass the entire area between the right-of-way line and 2-feet behind the back edge of the pedestrian facility. 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 Ustick Road is designated in the MSM as a Residential Arterial with 5-lanes and on-street bike lanes, a 59-foot street section within 100-feet of right-of-way. 5. Dayspring 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 23 Dayspring Subdivision / MPP24-0024 / H-2024- 0070 street sections shall serve as the default. ACHD reserves the right to require bicycle and pedestrian facilities above those identified in the Livable Streets Design Guide and Master Street Map to ensure the safest facility possible based on current best practice. Street Section and Right-of-Way Policy: District policy 7206.5.2 states that the standard right- of-way width for collector streets shall typically be 50 to 70-feet, depending on the location and width of the sidewalk or multi-use path and the location and use of the roadway. The right-of-way width may be reduced, with District approval, if the sidewalk or multi-use path is located within an easement; in which case the District will require a minimum right-of-way width that extends 2-feet behind the back-of-curb on each side. The standard street section shall be 47-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb). This width typically accommodates a single travel lane in each direction, a continuous center left-turn lane, and bike lanes. If a multi-use path is determined to be the required treatment, the street section shall be reduced to 37-feet. If it is determined a continuous center left-turn lane is not appropriate and a path is installed, the street section may be reduced to 26-feet. Residential Collector Policy: District policy 7206.5.2 states that the standard street section for a collector in a residential area shall be 36-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb). The District will consider a 33-foot or 29-foot street section with written fire department approval and taking into consideration the needs of the adjacent land use, the projected volumes, the need for bicycle lanes, and on-street parking. At the discretion of Traffic Engineering staff, adjustments may be made to the street section, including removal of the continuous center turn lanes or modification to lane widths, where no driveways or intersections are present or to ensure adequate space for pathways and buffers. Pedestrian Facilities: District policy 7206.5.6 requires a concrete sidewalk at least 5-feet wide to be constructed on both sides of all collector streets. A parkway strip at least 8-feet wide between the back-of-curb and street edge of the sidewalk is required to provide increased safety and protection of pedestrians. Consult the District's planter width policy if trees are to be placed within the parkway strip. Sidewalk constructed next to the back-of-curb shall be a minimum of 7-feet wide. Alternatively, on roadways identified as low-stress bikeways in ACHD's Bike Master Plan, a minimum 10-foot wide multi-use path may be required in lieu of sidewalks. ACHD Development Review staff will be responsible for determining the required facility. The path shall be built 8-feet behind the back-of-curb as measured to the closest edge of the path. Street trees are encouraged between the pedestrian facility and the roadway when irrigation and maintenance will occur by the adjacent property owner or HOA through an approved license agreement. Vertical hardscape alternatives to street trees may be considered in the buffer space when street trees are not practicable. Pedestrian facilities should be parallel to the adjacent roadway. Pedestrian facilities will only be allowed to deviate from a straight line when authorized by Development Review staff to meet site specific conditions (i.e., street trees, utilities, etc.). Appropriate easements shall be provided if public sidewalks or multi-use paths are placed out of the right-of-way. The easement shall encompass the entire area between the right-of-way line and 2-feet behind the back edge of the sidewalk or multi-use path. Sidewalks shall either be located wholly within the public right-of-way or wholly within an easement. Curb ramps or blended transitions shall be provided to connect the pedestrian access route at each pedestrian street crossing in accordance with the current version of PROWAG. Provide detectable warning surface in accordance with the current version of PROWAG. ACHD Master Street Map: ACHD Policy Section 3111.1 requires the Master Street Map (MSM) guide the right-of-way acquisition, collector street requirements, and specific roadway features required through development. A new collector roadway was identified on the MSM with the street 24 Dayspring Subdivision / MPP24-0024 / H-2024- 0070 typology of Residential Collector. The new collector roadway should offset 916-feet east of McDermott Bypass and continue through the property stubbing to the south. The Residential Collector typology as depicted in the Livable Street Design Guide recommends a 2-lane roadway with a 10-foot wide multi-use pathway, a 26-foot street section within 66-feet of right-of-way. 6. Internal Local Roadways 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. Continuation of Streets Policy: District Policy 7207.2.4 states that an existing street, or a street in an approved preliminary plat, which ends at a boundary of a proposed development shall be extended in that development. The extension shall include provisions for continuation of storm drainage facilities. Benefits of connectivity include but are not limited to the following: • Reduces vehicle miles traveled. • Increases pedestrian and bicycle connectivity. • Increases access for emergency services. • Reduces need for additional access points to the arterial street system. • Promotes the efficient delivery of services including trash, mail and deliveries. • Promotes appropriate intra-neighborhood traffic circulation to schools, parks, neighborhood commercial centers, transit stops, etc. • Promotes orderly development. Sidewalk Policy: District Policy 7207.5.7 states that five-foot wide concrete sidewalk is required on both sides of all local street, except those in rural developments with net densities of one dwelling unit per 1.0 acre or less, or in hillside conditions where there is no direct lot frontage, in which case a sidewalk shall be constructed along one side of the street. Some local jurisdictions may require wider sidewalks. The sidewalk may be placed next to the back-of-curb. Where feasible, a parkway strip at least 8- feet wide between the back-of-curb and the street edge of the sidewalk is recommended to provide increased safety and protection of pedestrians and to allow for the planting of trees in accordance with the District's Tree Planting Policy. If no trees are to be planted in the parkway strip, the applicant may submit a request to the District, with justification, to reduce the width of the parkway strip. Detached sidewalks are encouraged and should be parallel to the adjacent roadway. Meandering sidewalks are discouraged. A permanent right-of-way easement shall be provided if public sidewalks are placed outside of the dedicated right-of-way. The easement shall encompass the entire area between the right-of-way 25 Dayspring Subdivision / MPP24-0024 / H-2024- 0070 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. • 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. Minor Urban Local Street (24-foot Street) Minor Local Street Policy: District policy 7207.5.2 states that a minor local street is defined as a reduced width local street that provides direct lot access for residential uses, and in limited circumstances, commercial or mixed use as described below. Pavement Width and Curb Type: A minor local shall be constructed with a reduced width of 24- feet from back-of-curb to back-of-curb with curb and gutter. Where the minor local street is utilized in a gridded street system with alleys, vertical curb shall be required, and direct lot access shall be restricted. Where the minor local street is utilized, with residential open space scenarios, rolled curb or ribbon curbing (with an inverted crown), is allowed if access to the rear of the parcels is provided from the minor local street. Sidewalk and Right-of-Way: Five-foot wide concrete sidewalks are required on both sides, unless as otherwise described below or approved by ACHD and the lead land use agency. The sidewalk for this street section may be located within a permanent right-of-way easement. If the sidewalk is located within an easement, the minimum right-of-way width for this street section is 28-feet, to allow for 2-feet behind the back-of-curb on each side. Sidewalk may not be required, or may be required on one side only as determined by the lead land use agency, if the minor local street is used in residential areas where houses accessing the minor local street are built with the front of 26 Dayspring Subdivision / MPP24-0024 / H-2024- 0070 the house (including the front door)facing the common or open space lots that include a connected system of sidewalks or paved pathways and the lotting pattern is mirrored on both sides of the street. Parking: Parking is prohibited on both sides of this street section. "No Parking" signs are required. Alternative parking for guests, visitors, auxiliary residential parking, and deliveries shall be provided and shall be designated and located in coordination with the lead land use agency. Typically, this parking will be provided via community parking spaces located within walking distance of these types of residences. Walking distance shall be defined by the lead land use agency. Requirements (This street section may only be used if the following conditions are met): • The maximum projected ADT is less than 400. • The street connects to two other standard size streets. • There is support from the lead land use agency (either from staff or Commission/ Council). • Maximum block length of 600-feet. • In commercial or mixed use areas where urban designs utilizing alleys are desirable but may be impractical due to access restrictions to classified roadways (arterials, collectors, and residential collectors). In this example, the minor local street would parallel the access- restricted roadway and would provide direct access to the commercial or mixed-use lots. • No portion of a building shall be over 30-feet in height. If any portion of a building is over 30- feet in height, aerial fire apparatus is required and a 26-foot wide street is required (International Fire Code Appendix D Section C105). However, a 26-foot wide street, with a minimum right-of-way of 30-feet, is allowed if all other requirements for a minor local street are met. 8. McMurtrey Street Commercial Roadway Policy: District Policy 7208.2.1 states that the developer is responsible for improving all commercial 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 7208.5 states that right-of-way widths for new commercial streets shall typically be 50 and 70-feet wide and that the standard street section will vary depending on the need for a center turn lane, bike lanes, volumes, percentage of truck traffic, and/or on-street parking. • A 36-foot street section (back-of-curb to back-of-curb)will typically accommodate two travel lanes and on-street parking. • A 40-foot street section (back-of-curb to back-of-curb)will typically accommodate two travel lanes and a center turn lane. • A 46-foot street section (back-of-curb to back-of-curb)will typically accommodate two travel lanes and a center turn lane and bike lanes. Sidewalk Policy: District Policy 7208.5.6 requires a concrete sidewalk at least 5-feet wide to be constructed on both sides of all commercial streets. If a separated sidewalk is proposed, a parkway strip at least 6-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. 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. 27 Dayspring Subdivision / MPP24-0024 / H-2024- 0070 Cul-de-sac Streets Policy: District policy 7208.5.7 states that the minimum radius permitted for a turnaround is 55-feet to back-of-curb. 9. Alleys General Alley Policy: District Policy 7210.1 states that an alley is defined as vehicular access way through the middle of a block giving public access to the rear of residential, non-residential, and mixed-use lots or buildings. Alleys are not considered part of the traffic circulation system. An alley may serve as the primary vehicular access to a lot or building, but an alley should not provide the sole public right-of-way frontage. A lot served by an alley shall also have public street frontage. Alleys should connect to a public street at each end and should not terminate in permanent dead- ends. Access is allowed to and from a fully improved alley. A fully improved alley is defined as an alley that is paved the required width (as determined by 7210.2 and 7210.3.1). New Alley Policy: District Policy 7210.3.1 requires the minimum right-of-way width for all new residential alleys shall be a minimum of 16-feet or a maximum of 20-feet. If the residential alley is 16-feet in width building setbacks required by the land use agency having jurisdiction shall provide sufficient space for the safe backing of vehicles into the alley (see Section 7210.3.3). The minimum right-of-way width for all new commercial or mixed-use alleys shall be 20-feet. All alleys shall be improved by paving the full width and length of the right-of-way. Dedication of clear title to the right-of-way and the improvement of the alley, and acceptance of the improvement by the District as meeting its construction standards, are required for all alleys contained in a proposed development. Alley Length Policy: District Policy 7210.3.2 states that alleys shall be no longer than 700-feet in length. If the lead land use agency having jurisdiction requires a shorter block length, the alley shall be no longer than the agency's required block length. Alley Parking &Setbacks Policy: District Policy 7210.3.3 states that parking within the alley right- of-way is prohibited. "No Parking" signs are required to be installed by the developer. The signs should be located at the alley/street intersections. Parking which is entered from the alley shall be designed so the minimum clear distance from the back of the parking stall to the opposite side of the alley is 20-feet for all perpendicular parking. Setbacks for structures taking access from the alley should be closely coordinated with the lead land use agency. The setbacks shall either discourage parking within the alley (where it may partially block or occur within the right-of-way)or allow adequate area for one perpendicular parking pad. In order to discourage parking, building setbacks shall be minimal from the alley right-of-way line, while still achieving the required 20-feet of back-up space from a garage or other parking structure to the opposite side of the alley (i.e. 4-foot setback + 16-foot alley= 20-feet for back-up space). Alley Intersections and Offsets Policy: District policy 7210.3.7 states that alleys should intersect public streets at each end. In specific circumstances as outlined in the policies below, the District may consider allowing an alley to intersect a public street at only one end. A 90-degree angle of intersection shall be designed where practical. In no case shall the intersecting angle be less than 75-degrees, as measured from centerline of intersecting street. An access to an alley shall be located a minimum of 50-feet from the nearest street (measured centerline to centerline). Alley/Local Street Intersections Policy: District Policy 7210.3.7.2 states that alleys may intersect all types of local streets including minor local streets. Alleys shall generally be designed with a curb cut type approach when intersecting a local street. Alleys shall generally intersect streets in the middle of the block equally offsetting the intersecting streets. Alleys shall either align with alley/street intersections or provide a minimum 100-foot offset (measured centerline to centerline) from other local street intersections. For alley intersections with local streets, the District may 28 Dayspring Subdivision / MPP24-0024 / H-2024- 0070 consider a reduced offset if the lead land use agency's required lot size allows for shorter buildable lots. Alley/Collector Street Intersections Policy: District Policy 7210.3.7.3 states that alleys may intersect collector roadways. Alleys intersecting collector roadways shall generally be designed with a curb return type approach with a minimum back of curb radius of 28-feet. Typically, alleys will only intersect classified collector roadways within a downtown gridded street system setting. Alleys shall generally intersect the residential collector or collector streets in the middle of the block equally offsetting the intersecting streets. If the alley/collector intersection does not occur within a gridded street system, then alley/collector intersection shall offset any other intersection by the standard driveway offset requirements as outlined in Section 7206.4. 10. Roadway Offsets Collector Offset Policy: District policy 7205.4.2 states that the optimum spacing for new signalized collector roadways intersecting principal arterials is one half-mile. District policy 7206.4.5, states that the preferred spacing for a new local street intersecting a collector roadway to align or offset a minimum of 330-feet from any other street (measured centerline to centerline). Local Offset Policy: District policy 7207.4.2, requires local roadways to align or provide a minimum offset of 125-feet from any other street (measured centerline to centerline). District policy 7208.4.2, requires commercial roadways intersecting other local streets (residential, industrial or commercial) to provide a minimum offset of 125-feet from any other roadway or intersection (measured centerline to centerline). 11. Stub Streets Stub Street Policy: District policy 7206.2.4.3 (collector)/ 7207.2.4.3 (local)/ 7208.2.4.3 (commercial), 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 ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE." or `THIS IS A DESIGNATED COLLECTOR ROADWAY. THIS STREET WILL BE EXTENDED AND WIDENDED IN THE FUTURE." In addition, stub streets must meet the following conditions: • A stub street shall be designed to slope towards the nearest street intersection within the proposed development and drain surface water towards that intersection; unless an alternative storm drain system is approved by the District. • The District may require appropriate covenants guaranteeing that the stub street will remain free of obstructions. Temporary Dead End Streets Policy: District policy 7206.2.4.4 (collector)/ 7207.2.4.4 (local)/ 7208.2.4.4 (commercial) requires that the design and construction for cul-de-sac streets shall apply to temporary dead end streets. The temporary cul-de-sac shall be paved and shall be the dimensional requirements of a standard cul-de-sac. The developer shall grant a temporary turnaround easement to the District for those portions of the cul-de-sac which extend beyond the dedicated street right-of-way. In the instance where a temporary easement extends onto a buildable lot, the entire lot shall be encumbered by the easement and identified on the plat as a non-buildable lot until the street is extended. 12. Driveways 12.1 Ustick Road Access Points Policy: District Policy 7205.4.1 states that all access points associated with development applications shall be determined in accordance with the policies in this section and Section 7202. Access points shall be reviewed only for a development application that is being 29 Dayspring Subdivision / MPP24-0024 / H-2024- 0070 considered by the lead land use agency. Approved access points may be relocated and/or restricted in the future if the land use intensifies, changes, or the property redevelops. Access Policy: District policy 7205.4.7 states that direct access to principal arterials is typically prohibited. If a property has frontage on more than one street, access shall be taken from the street having the lesser functional classification. If it is necessary to take access to the higher classified street due to a lack of frontage, the minimum allowable spacing shall be based on Table 1 b under District policy 7205.4.7, unless a waiver for the access point has been approved by the District Commission. Driveways, when approved on a principal arterial shall operate as a right-in/right-out only, and the District will require the construction of a raised median to restrict the left turning movements. Driveway Location Policy: District policy 7205.4.7 requires driveways located on principal arterial roadways to be located a minimum of 355-feet from the nearest intersection for a right-in/right-out only driveway. Full-access driveways are not allowed on principal arterial roadways. Successive Driveways: District policy 7205.4.7 Table 1 b, requires driveways located on principal arterial roadways with a speed limit of 50 MPH to align or offset a minimum of 520-feet from any existing or proposed driveway. Driveway Width Policy: District policy 7205.4.8 restricts high-volume driveways (100 VTD or more)to a maximum width of 36-feet and low-volume driveways (less than 100 VTD)to a maximum width of 30-feet. Curb return type driveways with 30-foot radii will be required for high-volume driveways with 100 VTD or more. Curb return type driveways with 15-foot radii will be required for low-volume driveways with less than 100 VTD. Driveway Paving Policy: Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance problems due to gravel being tracked onto the roadway. In accordance with District policy, 7205.4.8, the applicant should be required to pave the driveway its full width and at least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of the roadway and install pavement tapers in accordance with Table 2 under District Policy 7205.4.8. Temporary Access Policy: District Policy 7202.4.2 identifies a temporary access as that which "is permitted for use until appropriate alternative access becomes available". Temporary access may be granted through a development agreement or similar method, and the developer shall be responsible for providing a financial guarantee for the future closure of the driveway. Cross Access Easements/Shared Access Policy: District Policy 7202.4.1 states that cross access utilizes a single vehicular connection that serves two or more adjoining lots or parcels so that the driver does not need to re-enter the public street system. 12.2 Dayspring Way Access Policy: District Policy 7205.4.1 states that all access points associated with development applications shall be determined in accordance with the policies in this section and Section 7202. Access points shall be reviewed only for a development application that is being considered by the lead land use agency. Approved access points may be relocated and/or restricted in the future if the land use intensifies, changes, or the property redevelops. District Policy 7206.1 states that the primary function of a collector is to intercept traffic from the local street system and carry that traffic to the nearest arterial. A secondary function is to service adjacent property. Access will be limited or controlled. Collectors may also be designated at bicycle and bus routes. Driveway Location Policy (Stop Controlled Intersection): District policy 7206.4.4 requires driveways located on collector roadways near a STOP controlled intersection to be located outside of the area of influence; OR a minimum of 150-feet from the intersection, whichever is greater. 30 Dayspring Subdivision / MPP24-0024 / H-2024- 0070 Dimensions shall be measured from the centerline of the intersection to the centerline of the driveway. Successive Driveways: District policy 7206.4.5 Table 1 requires driveways located on collector roadways with a speed limit of 25 MPH and daily traffic volumes greater than 100 VTD to align or offset a minimum of 245-feet from any existing or proposed driveway. Driveway Width Policy: District policy 7206.4.6 restricts high-volume driveways (100 VTD or more)to a maximum width of 36-feet and low-volume driveways (less than 100 VTD)to a maximum width of 30-feet. Curb return type driveways with 30-foot radii will be required for high-volume driveways with 100 VTD or more. Curb return type driveways with 15-foot radii will be required for low-volume driveways with less than 100 VTD. Driveway Paving Policy: Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance problems due to gravel being tracked onto the roadway. In accordance with District policy, 7206.4.6, the applicant should be required to pave the driveway its full width and at least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of the roadway and install pavement tapers in accordance with Table 2 under District Policy 7206.4.6. Minor Improvements Policy: District Policy 7203.3 states that minor improvements to existing Highways adjacent to a proposed development may be required. These needed transportation facilities are to correct deficiencies or replace deteriorated facilities. Included are sidewalk and/or bike lane construction or replacement (with physical buffers if missing and needed); construction of transitional sidewalk segments; crosswalk construction or replacement; curb and gutter construction or replacement; repair, replacement or expansion of curb extensions; replacement of unused driveways with curb, gutter, sidewalk, repair or addition of traffic calming or speed mitigation features; installation or reconstruction of pedestrian ramps; pavement repairs; signs, motor vehicle, pedestrian and bicycle traffic control devices; and other similar items. The current version of PROWAG will determine the applicable accessibility requirements for alterations and elements added to existing streets. ACHD staff is responsible for identifying the minor improvements that would be proportionate to the size and complexity of the development. 12.3 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. 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. 12.4 McMurtrey Street Driveway Location Policy: District policy 7208.4.1 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/arterial or arterial street intersection. 31 Dayspring Subdivision / MPP24-0024 / H-2024- 0070 Successive Driveways: District Policy 7208.4.1 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. Driveway Width Policy: District policy 7208.4.3 restricts commercial driveways to a maximum width of 40-feet. Most commercial driveways will be constructed as curb-cut type facilities. Driveway Paving Policy: Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance problems due to gravel being tracked onto the roadway. In accordance with District policy, 7208.4.3, 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. Driveway Design Requirements: District policy 7208.4.3 states if an access point is to be gated, the gate or keypad (whichever is closer) shall be located a minimum of 50-feet from the near edge of the intersection and a turnaround shall be provided. 13. Private Roads Private Road Policy: District policy 7212.1 states that the lead land use agencies in Ada County establish the requirements for private streets. The District retains authority and will review the proposed intersection of a private and public street for compliance with District intersection policies and standards. The private road should have the following requirements: • Designed to discourage through traffic between two public streets, • Graded to drain away from the public street intersection, and • If a private road is gated, the gate or keypad (if applicable) shall be located a minimum of 50-feet from the near edge of the intersection and a turnaround shall be provided. 14. Traffic Calming Speed Control and Traffic Calming Policy (Local): 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. Speed Control and Traffic Calming Policy (Commercial): District policy 7208.3.7 states that the design of commercial 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 a maintenance and/or license agreement. Speed Control and Traffic Calming Policy (Collectors): District policy 7206.3.8 states that collector streets should be designed to discourage speeds above 35 MPH and in a residential area, collector streets should be designed to discourage speeds above 30 MPH. The design of collector 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 a maintenance and/or license agreement. 32 Dayspring Subdivision / MPP24-0024 / H-2024- 0070 15. 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. 16. 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. 17. 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. 33 Dayspring Subdivision / MPP24-0024 / H-2024- 0070 G.
